JOS JOURNAL BY JO ALDWINCKLE Women's Editor of The Times From my reports of encounters with "officialdom" while travelling in Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Poland, you may have formed the rewarding adventure. I would like to dispel pression.

As. a_visitor, one soon realizes that there are two.sides to life in these countries, the regime and the people, and Many, many people were kind and friendly to us. Our first encounter was old city, once the capital of in Prague, the thousand-year- Bohemia and now the capital of the Czechoslovak Republic. Prague has not suffered the destruction of many of the cities of central Europe, Here was cultivated the renaissance arts to their fullest flower- ing. The architecture, sculptures and carvings are a treas- ury of art. Here Good King Wenceslas converted. his peo- ple to Christianity in the 10th century. _ Promenade In The Past We couldn't wait to explore and started off immediate- ly for the Old Town where we were soon lost in the maze of narrow streets. We asked a middle-aged man passing by for directions to the Charles Bridge. He understood English; tried to explain and finally conducted us. He left us to go and buy tickets for the symphony and we said goodbye but in ten minutes he caught up with us again, explaining that the box-office had closed, and he had over- taken us because he was afraid we might miss something. It was dark by the time he telling us the number tram left us at the tram stop after we should take and that the fare would be 50 hellers, about three cents, We shall never know his name but we shall always remember his love for his own city which came through 'to us in his knowledge and admiration of the points of interest he showed us, The next evening, drinking coffee in the market square we met, quite by chance, two artists, Adolph and Eva, a "husband and wife team who an hour's drive and then to took us in their tiny car on their studio apartment, atop a five-storey building. (No elevator). Here again, we were overwhelmed by their simple kindness and wondered if strangers would ever be treated the same way in Canada. Roaming through the royal castle, a woman offered to take us to see the Spanish salons. These magnificent 'ballrooms in white and gold, deliers and furnished with festooned with crystal chan- crimson chairs, we would 'never have found on our own and, in the same eager way, another woman took us to a Jewish Synagogue, founded in 1479, now a memorial m useum. On its walls are in- scribed the names of 77,297 Jewish victims of Nazism. We. were grateful to both to share what they treasured women. We felt they wanted with us, Fun With Plain Folk There were amusing incidents. On the train to Brati- slava the train stopped at a station and a boy on the platform was selling bags of strawberries. They looked luscious and we were thirsty. (Never drink the water on | the trains.) We had no small change and consoled our- selves by saying that the strawberries probably hadn't been washed anyway.

He was a university graduate and the only one we met who knew something about Can- ada. He told us he had learned it from comic books. High in the mountains in the resort town of Zako- pane, Poland, we met four young fellows out walking on a Sunday morning. They tried very hard to make con- versation in English but we had no common ground until one of them said 'Bonanza'. ithat they followed the television Word by word we made out series and identified 'themselves as Ben Cartwright and his sons, Hoss, Adam vand Little Joe. When Margaret told them that she knew Lorne Greene personally, they went wild and it was lucky for us that the bus we were waiting for came into sight, I gave them one of my precious packets of Canadian cigarettes. The local brands varied from poor to appalling. Another character we will never forget was the con- ductor on the bus to Ojcow, not far from Krakow. He was a jovial, busy little man and immensely pleased to be able to show off his knowledge of English. He asked all the usual questions about where we were from and where we were going and then translated for the benefit of the rest of the passengers. Countless Comic This was an ordinary servicebus, -but he -unde: Capers rtook--te POon te ..act as guide and pointed out interesting things along the way. One square, ugly building stumped him. He couldn't .find the words and we were lated and spread his fingers uninspired, Then he gesticu- before his eyes but still we didn't know what we had passed. Finally he hit on it and proudly announced "Scotland Yard". It was the dis- trict prison. We were convulsed and so was everyone else. The bus had a twenty-minute halt somewhere along the way so we invited the conductor and driver to have "kava" with us, (Four black coffees in a glass, one U.S. dollar.) We learned that our friend was a great movie goer and his favorites were Jeanette Macdonald and Nel- son Eddy. He started to sing '"'Will You Love Me Ever" to Margaret and I was relieved when the driver decided it was time to leave. Farther on we had to "Skala.
