Why do we no longer hear much about juvenile and parental delinquency? First, the more common evil becomes, the less it is called delinquency. Lower standards enough and there are no delinquents! Second, it wasn't juvenile or parental de­ linquency that caused our plight. It was spiritual delinquency. Millions in our society set their spiritual standards at a level where such delinquency became custom. The thing to do with an opinion like this is to REVERSE it. That can be done by a Higher Court -- such as an aroused citi­ zenry, seeking every spiritual opportunity and fulfilling every religious responsibility that its churches provide and teach.

Mrs. Vaughan and her husband, Dr. William Vaughan, took- the trip so that he could attend a con­ ference on bio-chemistry. The couple resides in Berkeley, Calif.) "From Budapest we flew to Kiev Friday afternoon and lost another two hours. Upon arrival in the USSR, we had to make a declaration of all valuables, money, jewels, etc. We also had to fill out an alien form. "Our Bio-chemistry Congress organizers were there and had our hotel assignments with rooms all ready for us. Baggage ID's for the hotels were ready for us to attach. Our hotel, the Moskva (Moscow), was sixteen stories tall and on a hill right across from the Palace of the October Revolution, site of the Congress. It is an oldish hotel but hard to age as it looks older than it probably is. It was freshly painted. "As in all the hotels in the USSR, there is a lady on each floor who is in charge of the comings and goings on her floor. She gives and collects the keys, calls for the elevator, calls for a taxi and she will even make a cup of tea for you. Our ladies in Kiev were dears and so were our maids. "Sunday morning I went to the only active Russian Or­ thodox church in Kiev. The service was quite an ex­ perience. While the priest gave his sermon, people milled about praying at various altars, not seeming to pay attention to the main altar and priest. The church was beautiful and the art work fantastic. People enter and leave at will. "After we were outside I tried to photograph the church and was asked not to. When the lady found out our group was American, she showed such delight and pleasure. Soon a large group circled us. They talked Russian and we, English. No one understood a word, but we knew they were" happy to meet us. The first lady grabbed our hands and kissed us one by one. You can be sure there were many misty eyes. A young Ukranian woman named Svetlana joined the group. She spoke some English and we gave them some information about us. This was our first encounter with the people and we were very much impressed at how much they thought of us. They y?ere impressed at our height, which wasn't all that tall. "When people can com­ municate like this on a person to person basis, I'm a bit more sure of this old world. "Svetlana later took four of us for a walk. That evening was the opening of the Congress at the Ukraine Palace of Culture. The highlight was a program of Ukraine music and performers. The singing, ballet and musicians were nice but the highlight was the performance of Ukraine dances. We never got enough of the folk dancing we saw during the trip and this was no exception ~ again the costumes, colors and footwork of the dancers left me breathless. "My daytime schedule found me on Monday going to a fashion show in the morning. I was pleasantly surprised at the style and flair of the garments but these were not the clothes worn by the people on the street. The fashions covered teens through the middle years. There were fashions for men also. What made this show unique was that most clothes reflected the mood of Ukranian folk art - shawls, aprons, cross- stitched decorated blouses, embroidered vests and jackets. "That afternoon I went on a professional tour of the emergency ambulance service. Each city in the USSR has such service and all health service is free. I gather it is quite com­ plete. The emphasis is on preventive medicine. In Kiev there is one ambulance for every 10,000 people. There are five ambulances for heart cases. Ambulances can be called for any service that needs immediate medical attention. The ambulance will do immediate treatment on the spot, then transport the patient to a clinic or hospital. If a hospital that has ambulance DIAL-A-DEVOTION PHONE 8 Hear God's Word Wherever You Are. SPONS6RED BY: GUETTLER'S SERVICE STATION Russia Trip In Review «jar«di receiving for that day gets a patient, they must keep him no matter how crowded they are. "There is only a 10 per cent false alarm rate and they get about 50 calls every hour of the day and night. If a person maliciously calls for an am­ bulance it is reported to his employer and he will call that person on it. "Tuesday I visited a kin­ dergarten for children of Darents associated with the Civil Aeronautics Institute. The kindergartens are like our nurseries. They take children ages 1 through 7 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. for three meals and a snack, five to six days a week. The children are divided into classes by age and get the equivalent of our kindergarten and part of first grade in this school. "After visiting several classrooms, the older children had a lovely program of song and dance for us. They presented us with a lapel pin of the institute and a bouquet of red carnations. One of the little girls reminded me of Laura in the way she looked and acted. Again, seeing this new generation, I was reassured in mankind. "I visited a Youth Naturalist Center which is much like our 4- H. A group of Young Pioneers presented us with another bouquet of flowers and the director of the center was a charming lady who seemed so delighted to show us around. "On my free afternoons I took walks through the streets near our hotel and explored the stores. I was very depressed at the quality of goods in the stores. But then, consumer products are in this five-year plan. Things are quite ex­ pensive and the quality of fabric in clothes and leather in shoes is not good. Fabrics by. the meter are not of high- quality and also are expensive. I priced a treadle sewing machine for 78 rubles - a dollar is about 4-5 of a ruble. We did our shopping in the Kashtan stores which a*re only for tourists and only take free world currency. The quality of items in these stores is better than the other stores and prices are less. "I visited a fresh produce market that really hummed with activity. Food prices are just a little less than our prices here but in the USSR rent is only 4 percent of the average individual's salary of 120 rubles per month. Utilities, public transportation and kin­ dergarten child care are inexpensive so the 120 rubles goes far. "Friday was a day to remember for me. I started out on my own to walk to a monastery which is now a museum in Kiev. I particularly wanted to see the Ukranian Folk Art museum which I thoroughly enjoyed. The wood carving, wood inlay, ceramics, glass blowing and embroidery were great. "Anyway, after several blocks, I consulted my map and must have looked puzzled. A woman stopped and spoke to me in Russian and I knew she wanted to help me. I told her I was American and spoke English. At this point, a well dressed man with the usual briefcase stopped and in per­ fect English, asked if he could help me. I explained my mission and he said I couldn't walk, it was too far and I should go with him. We had a lovely conversation about Kiev, what I was doing there and the Bio­ chemistry conference. When we got to the bus stop he put me on the right bus and paid my fare - 4 kopecks or about 5 cents. I don't know his name but to me he personifies the graciousness of the people we met. In fifteen minutes the bus was at the monastery and I spent four great hours there. "For lunch I ate a substantial biscuit from a vendor and ice cream. Kiev is famous for its ice cream and rightly so. However I liked Moscow ice cream even better. "Then I went over to where there was some digging being done to recover ruined artifacts MOSCOW RED SQUARE *>1 % V GOLDEN GATES - MAIN ENTRY TO KIEV and here I had another in­ teresting experience. It was during their 1 to 2 o'clock break and several young people were sitting near where I was standing. One started talking to me in Russian and I gave my usual routine about speaking English. With that they called over their friends and started speaking to me in broken and simple but communicative English. This was a very typical conversation in that it followed the pattern of basic interests a ngmber of people experienced in other con­ versations. These young people wanted to know how I liked Kiev, how long I was going to be rtiere in the United tes I was from, did I have any jeans, did I like pop music, ( I said I was too old) and did I have any gum (I did and gave it to them). "To explain two parts of this dialogue - there is quite a black market throughout USSR, (apparently known but overlooked by the officials). Jeans are a real hot item. Western jeans can demand a price of at least 75 rubles. One of the young men in our tour could have sold everything he was wearing in Moscow for a good price for the black market. We all felt, however, we better keep out of any of these dealings. Gum is a favorite prized item of all the people. Gum is not sold in the stores but all the young know about it and are delighted to get it from tourists and don't hesitate to ask for it! "After my tour of the monastery, I sat and people- watched. Westerners are known by the way they walk (so I was told but don't know what is different) and by their dress and shoes. When a native notices a good pair of shoes his eyes travel up to inspect the clothes, then the face. So I sat there for an hour playing the game of 'spot the Western tourist'. I got to be pretty good at it too. "Friday held two more in­ teresting experiences for me. Earlier that morning in our room, the maid came in with a young boy. In the usual manner of each speaking her own language only, she asked me if we were leaving that day and I said yes. Then she went to the dresser where I had a small red flask of an Avon cologne. She picked it up and asked me what it was. I opened it, put some on me, then on her and had her smell it. It had a roll top ap­ plicator. She seemed so delighted with it that I gave it to her. She put some on the boy then grabbed me, hugged me, kissed me on both cheeks, wheeled around and sped out of the room. "The flowers I had received during the week were still so nice that Friday morning I gave them to the lady at the desk on our floor. That af­ ternoon as I headed for our room I got the key from her an started down the hall. Sli called after me and pressed a small book in my hand. It is in Russian and has short poems of Lenin. On the inside cover she wrote in English, 'Come to visit us in the Kiev! Good Bye! Till we meet again!' I was deeply moved. "Before our trip I was not sure how we as Americans would be accepted. But now I have no doubt that by the man and woman on the street, there is a deep love for their fellow human beings. I was greatly impressed by their entire personality. Life is not easy for them. Here in America we take much too much for granted. But there, they appreciate the little things - a walk in a park, a checker or chess game under a tree or a sandy beach. They are generous with their time, talents and money. And they are proud. Yes, I was greatly impressed. "Our evening schedule was nicely planned by the Bio­ chemistry Congress. Monday night we took a 2V2-hour boat trip up and down the Dnieper river, then had dinner af-, terwards. Tuesday was a free night and the Fourth of July. We organized a dinner to celebrate at a nearby restaurant for thirty-five Americans. The wine, vodka- and caviar was as abundant as the food. And the band in a nice gesture, played the refrain of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" in our honor. "Wednesday evening we went to the ballet and saw "Romeo and Juliet". Thursday evening was the Congress banquet. During Bill's days at the meetings he met four Russians, two of whom were at the banquet with us. We also met an East German couple, both doctors in a rural com­ munity. This banquet was not a sit-down affair. Instead, long tables were loaded with all sorts of foods and drinks. We took a plate, stationed our­ selves at a section of a table and took anything we wanted to eat which was in reach while standing all the time. "Friday afternoon after the 4 o'clock closing ceremonies, we readied ourselves to leave Kiev for Leningrad via Aeroflot, Russian airlines." A Matter Of Fit The floorwalker of a de­ partment store noticed g, young man looking very confused, so he went to him and asked, Floorwalker--Cjut I help you, sir? You seem puzzled about something. Fellow~I am, I was sup­ posed to buy either a cami­ sole or a casserole, but so help me, I can't remember which. Floorwalker (amiably) ~ Perhaps, I can help you if you will tell me what sort of chicken you intend put­ ting in it.
