Still nostalgically re- membered was a golden summer in the Soviet Union in 1936, des- cribed in an earlier book, LAUGH- ING ODYSSEY; but with the changes. of twenty-two years how could she hope to discover the land she loved. This is her fascinating record of the Russia she has found, its delights and disappointments. Moscow and Leningrad were, of course, on her itinerary, but she was also allowed the rarer privil- ege of extensive travel: in the Union, including the Don and Volga basins, the Ukraine, and wild, fierce Georgia, the birthplace of Stalin. She visitedtoo, Asiatic Rus- sia, land of Oriental affinities and the '"'Golden Road to Samarkand". Everywhere Eileen's warm and charming personality" attracted Russian friends although her sense of humour. sometimes led the more serious-minded to think she was not altogether '"'kulturny". For her, places mean people, and she remembers among others the perfect intourist- guide; lovely Maya of Moscow; the far-from- perfect one, Sonya of Minsk; the Leningrad urchin, Kolya; his sis- ter, Zoya, the female brick-layer; the mine manager whose secret The Haileyburian Givi, the hos- pitable hillman these and many more, met on collective farms and building sites, in stores and slums, at writers' colonies and Embassy receptions made and gave her book its particular flavor of spontaneity, understand- ing and sometimes tragedy.

Campsalls Win Two 'Against Bay Seals New Liskeard Campsalls moved into North Bay last Sunday for the second game of the Northern On tario finals against Brown Seals, and proved that the win on Thurs- day at home was no fluke' by squeezing out a 2-0 shut-out. Gordon McKnight pitched a sparkling ~ one-hitter 'against ~the Seals, and the effort was needed' as Jim McKinnon slow-baHed the Lis- keard hitters to death, and manag- ed only five hits-while 14-men: were left stranded on-base. A seventh 'innings ~-double to eentre was the only hit the Bay could get off McKnight, who fanned 14 Seal hitters for his second win in. four days. . In the - third. Bud Carr worked McKinnon for a walk | Doug Armitage. moved him to 'sec-|* ond, Blackburn singled through' the box. and Gord Christo drove Carr |home for what proved to be the}: | winning run. Campsalls added an_- insurance counter in the eighth on Don Mc- Knight's double and Bud Carr's single. The Seals had a good chance tc score in the third when McKnight walked two with one out, but the next batter popped out and Mc- Knight fanned the third to retire the side with no harm done. .
