A touch of omion, a pinch of marjoram season the mixture beautifully. Then thick, full-flavor- ed cream of chicken soup is added as_a binder.

Old-Style London Bus Drivers Fast Becoming Extinct Species Among London's 45,000 bus driv- ers and conductors fhere is still a of old-style cock- rists. They were the sort who helped keep up the mor- ale of this city during the blitz. They could crack a joke even when a bomb was whistling down on them, writes Peter Lyne in The Times of Landon. Today as I take a twopenny ride from the Strand to Westminster I still sometimes hear the old chest- nut_as we Sop outside the Houses of Parliament--' 'Anybody for the Westminster gas works?" Yes, it's Yor. corny when you've heard it for years. Yet in a way it would be sad not to hear it any more. It is so characteristic of traditional cockney good humor. ONLY COLOR LEFT But it's no use shedding tears because things don't stay the same. London's bus drivers and conduc- tors are changing like the traffic they handle. It's only the brilliant color of the buses themselves which seems unchanging. Some of the older conductors of today were born and reared in the hansom cab days when travel was a far more personal and leisurely business. There was more occasion for jokes and small talk. Now- adays travel in a great metropolis has become much more a streamlined factory process. It could hardly be otherwise con- sidering London's public transport system carried 12,000,000 passen- gers a day and does it with amaz- n efficiency. ut the young conductors of to- day seem an entirely different type. They often have serious, pre- occupied faces. Mostly one can find no fault with their politeness. They ate not unfriendly, yet with- out being friendly like the old- timers. But they don't have so much patience with. chatty elderly fou. y bi e the same kind cupation as men on a fac- to ge line. are in fact doing a job of work which is exactly for the driver at all times on of traffic density. And for conduc- tors at peak rush hour periods it's an ordeal. They get paid a weekly wage of around $24 which is a liv- ing wage but not a very high liv- ing. RED INFLUENCE And that brings me to the more serious side of this story. There is a considerable Communist in- fluence in the London section of the vast Transport and General Workers Union. This doesn't mean there are a large number of open Communists among London's bus drivers and conductors. But it does mean they are leftish and open to Communist influence. That is one reason why there was such anxiety over the recent strike of London's motor fuel truck drivers. That strike had a strong Communist backing. It was against the advice of the umion. It was characteristic of the new type of Communist 'disruption which is re- portedly being inspired by the Cominform and the Communist World Federation of Trade Unions. This new policy is thought here to aim at less emphasis on the Communist political propaganda and more on guerrilla strikes to test out how small groups of men like the 2,000 or 38, motor fuel truckmen could bring the life of a huge community like London to a standstill, At first the strike really did look as if it might bring life to a stand- still. Then the government brought in troops to deliver gasoline and on. Would the bus drivers listen to the strikers' call not to use "black" petrol? STRIKE ENDED Drivers at one of the more troublesome garages -- Dalston-- did in fact join the strike. But at that stage the motor fuel strike leaders changed their tune. They became alarmed at the prospect of the strike spreading. y called their men back to work. And the strike ended. What were the lessons of this strike? It showed how a relatively small group of key men like the PERSONALS Mrs. John Donnelly, Stone Lodge, |received word on Christmas eve of the passing of her aunt, Mrs. William Crebo of Sault Ste.

The fact is, of course, To Roam William L., Ryan, in a three- month stay in the Soviet Union, talked to scores of Russians without benefit of interpreters. He travelled 6,000 miles without going on any of the "escorted tours" arranged for most for~ eigners visiting the Soviet Union. Here, in another of his uncen- sored stories, he gives an insi inte communism's hold on youth, By WILLIAM L. RYAN AP Foreign News Analyst "What do a Russian girl and boy talk about when they go out for an eve! ™" Mystification prompted this ques- tion to a young Communist-reared woman, I had noted Russians in a restaurant attempting to have a good time and making a pretty glum affair of it. They just seemed to sit and stare at each other. "Oh," she said, "there are lots of things to talk about." "What, for example? You are married. Your husband must have courted you. What did you talk abou "Oh," she repeated. "There are many things. There's socialist com- petition, for example." This is partly nonsense, of course. Basically, young men and women in Russia discuss many of the same things that couples elsewhere talk about. Nevertheless, their at- titude toward life shows the effects of sealed off, effective training. ACCENT ON YOUT! The Soviet Communist party puts the accent on youth, though the party is interested principally in talented youngsters who will be indoctrinated and trained to form a hard core from which party leaders of tomorrow will be se- lected and trained. Every Soviet town has its house or "palace'" of Young Pioneers. Theoretically, all Soviet children are members of the Young Pion- eers. But those who frequent the Writer Allowed In Russia Pioneer palaces are the ones who get special attention until they re- sembled little robots, responding automatically to commands. During viet republics, I visited some of these Pioneer palaces. The one Tashkent, capital of the Uzbek 8.8.R., seems fairly typical. I wen! there one Sunday unannounced, and after some argument with the guard at the gate and show my impressive Red police pass, I was allowed to go in, I was a Jroblem to the woman in charge, but she took me in tow for a guided tour. Fortunately for her, things had been arranged in anticipation of visits from a num- ber of "delegations" including Brazilians, Indonesians and Mon- goliand, IRIT LACKING There were no more than 50 chil- dren in the butting. with an equal number in the y outside. Those in the palace were the cream of the talent the pioneers could boast in various fields. Obediently, the: awaited quietly the guests' arrival, They were all done up in their Sun. day best. I was shown the 'kabinet," where children ranging in age from about seven to 14 discuss young Pioneer business gravely--like a "little government," the guide said. In other rooms I was shown children's handicraft, painting and sculpture, some of it remarkably good, and their biological and zoo- logical collections. The children were extremely shy with me, and later, with the dele- | gations. There were mo bubbling, |rambuctious kids such as one might expect to find in that age bracket in any large group. Some- how they seemed spiritless, The talent was there, beyond question, and the training was there, but the childhood was not, that we need more such words. SMOG DATES TO 1905 Smog is a good English word. I do not mean that it is a good American English word, either. I mean an English English word. It is as English as it could possibly be. It has a venerable and re- |spected history. According to an authority in the Times, of London, the word was first printed in the Globe newspaper on July 3, 1905. It was coined by a Dr. Des Voeux, who himself was first president of the British National Smoke Abate- ment Society. And the authority in the Times who reports this is the present general secretary of the National Smoke Abatement Soci- ety. The good doctor coined the word as expressing a mixture of smoke and fog. It was the only one he | coined. Which is a pity. Prob- ably if he had not closed down his abouf \ 1 have averag i ople can Phe Rength of plenty of space in the trunk.

OSHAWA, ONT. any reas, Power, on verbal mint so suddenly it would not be a fact that today smogs, or smoky-fogs, are worse in London than ever--and that after 48 years of ceaseless service by the Nats- mabsoc, or National Smoke Abate- | ment Society. For words are needed to give definition to things. One. ese things is the communication thoughts to help understanding. The sharper the focus of wo! the better, for a problem thor- oughly understood is a problem al- ready overcome. When people go around talking of plain "fog" they may very soon fall victim to the idea that, after all, there is not much they can do about it. But when they talk about 'smog' and know that it is a na- tural mixture of smoke and fog, they realize at once that there is something they can do about it. Logically, it would be better still 1 here.

We their com By sharpening our words we et a more pointed solution. There sulphur dioxide in smog. Also carbon monoxide. Also soot, tar, dirt, and a small quantity of air, Then there are some smogs that hover on account of temperature inversions and unusual cloud con- ditions, us not forget these. things. Thus, in addition to smog there is a smaze, which is a mixture smoke and haze, 0 Jhere is lso, mole, hich a mixture that has more fog than smoke, and hoke, which has more haze, Furthermore, through inversions, there may be Jrequin days of goms and esams, and ekoh, There is smist, which is smoke and mist, and misoke, which is mist and smoke.

QUAINT NAME There are some quaint weather names back in the Old World. Who has heard of Scotland and has not heard of MacCloud? But the Scot- tish mist also has many less-well- known phases, like the Macdrizzle and the McLather. In Ireland, Fog- arty is a family name and is not what it might. seem, but there is often the O'Drool coming up from the Liffey. And Wales, of course, has not only Abermistwyth but also both Llanfaiweather and Llan- of the dudweather. 0, We capi learn from each other, can all learn more by find» s | ing or coining more and more de- scriptive and definitive words, as did Dr. Des Voeux. Smog and smaze, it seems to me, are good words as long as the conditions they describe persist. It is the con. ditions that must be removed, not the words. Kor those who are not convinced by this argument there seems only one thing to do.
