State your case and sometimes eight people that you can persuade-- and he sure persuaded me and the others there that day--mean a great deal more than talking to 8,000 people who don't pay as much attention as we did." . color black/white commercial--« THE RECOMMENDED PHOTOGRAPHER' [----tptrial menu-- weddin# candidt----aerial ' 411* WEST SIOVX LAMM, 385-0170 KdtlVir ILLINOIS 385-8688 a four-mile wide corridor.

Pearson of Hingwood has been published in the September issue of Out­ door Illinois. The article is en­ titled "A Dream Never Real­ ized" and deals with the work of Lorado Taft, midwestern sculptor. Lorado Taft was born in 1860 and lived almost his entire life in Illinois. It deals specifically with that dream in which Taft envisioned a park filled with huge foun­ tains, bridges and avenues lined with hundreds of individual pieces of sculpture. The lo­ cation was to be the area known as the Midway situated next to the present site of the Univer­ sity of Chicago and Illinois In­ stitute of Technology. The only part of the dream completed is called the Fountain of Time, a monumental work 110 feet long with figures ten feet high and cast in concrete mixed with granite chips. The article is illustrated by a large photograph taken by j»ear- son. PG. 8 - PLAINDEALER - FRI. SEPT. 26, 1969 PALACE OF CZARS OUTSIDE LENINGRAD (Continued from page 1) the Yugoslavs do. By nature the Russians are a happy people, but in current Russia one sees none of their gaiety. Every­ where there are lines -- for bread, for fruit, for doctors, for everything. We had a say- ing amongst us -- Russia is (me big line. Russia is not consumer oriented. If there is something such as an item of clothing in a store, chances are it's the only one of its kind. A pair of ladies' stockings is about $2.50 and they're of inferior quality. Men wear ties that are as small as a little boy's, with the back Of the tie tied so that it is longer than the front part. Clothes are mostly dark colors such as black or brown. "Everywhere there are signs of Communist propaganda. There is one radio station, pro­ grammed T.V., one newspaper. There are signs on the top of many buildings. The most com­ mon ones say "Forward to Communism" or - "Forward Communism To The People Of The World"! There are pos­ ters which they sell to kids. One, in particular, disgusted me-" Lenin lived; Lenin lives; Lenin will live." Lenin is Rus­ sia's new god: he is the anti- Christ. People worship his body which is enshrined outside the Kremlin. They will wait for eight hours (which is incident­ ally the average time) to see him in his casket. The line is about 2 miles long and is there every day. It made my heart ache to see the little children in their red scarves waiting in that line. All I could think of was Hitler's youth, and I was afraid. Communism is no lon­ ger an abstraction--it is real. ' It became for me a vivid real­ ity this summer. We speak of Big Brother here in America. In Russia it is a reality. Our own Russian guide warned us to be careful of what we said-- our rooms were bugged. Pre­ viously, to me, things like bug­ ging rooms belonged in spy nov­ els. Let me tell you it's real and it's frightening. I never realized how I value my free­ dom until I went to Russia, where nothing is your own. "I pity the Russians but I fear them. The youth is so sat­ urated with Communism that they can't think any other way. We met with young komsommol members and we clashed. We walked out of the meeting not without fear in our hearts. They are like programmed robots. Their vocabulary consists of a few political terms "imperial­ ism, aggression, etc." and that* s as far as they can think or react. " There are many myths about the Russians. I didn't find them to be an athletic people. As a whole, they are thick and flabby. We see their professionals and nothing more. Their diet is so bad that they can't help their weight. Believe it or not, the Russians lack food. They eat much rice and cabbage and a type of ground hamburger pat­ ty. Milk and eggs are scarce; so is meat. "I can't express the weight that was lifted from our minds and hearts when we came in­ to Vienna. It was like night and day between Russia and the West. I think that every Amer­ ican, or any free man for that matter, should see Russia. Communism is real; it is a moving force; it is frightening. If everyone in our country could spend one week in Russia, then Americans would never doubt the worth of their way of life. I know I will never return to Russia unless it is mandatory. I also know I will fight for the 'American Way' with every oun­ ce of my strength--I am glad I was born American." BOAT STOLEN A boat with 35 h.p. motor, only three months old and val­ ued at $1,508, was stolen from a pier to which it was anchor­ ed with chain and lock, on Tues­ day.
