cart ha Cook Social Director
Tells Of Visit In Soviet Russia
"Leningrad is a city of youth, se-
rious faces, and poorly dressed, bare-
footed people," according to Miss
Margaret Ruth Smith, social direc-
tor of Martha Cook Building, who
spent three days in the Soviet city
last summer.
"Little is left of the grandeur of
old Russia. Cathedrals of czarist
times have been changed into anti-
religious museums or have been de-
stroyed to make room for working-
men's^ apartments and club houses.
The palaces of the late czar are for
the most part intact and have been
opened to the Soviet public for in-
spection. One is especially impress-
ed by the fact that there are no shops
along the streets of Leningrad. Sup-
plies are obtained at the Soviet com-
missaries.
'The children of Russia are well
cared for in the state nurseries,"
Miss Smith said. "I saw 5,000 chil-
dren take part in a great demonstra-
tion before the Winter Palace. They
all wore red hair ribbons or ties. The
discipline was perfect. The group
could be compared to an army of
miniature soldiers."
Miss Smith found the factories she
visited "most interesting and en-
lightening." They seemed alive with
a spirit of accomplishment and hope.
Whereas the people on the streets
looked resigned, the men in the fac-
tories appeared thoroughly satisfied
with their work. Miss Smith ex-
plained that the entire factory has
the right to vote and that women are
considered equal to the men in the
Soviet.
Every attempt is being made by
the Soviet government to educate
its people to an appreciation of the
arts. Miss Smith saw a group of
peasants being conducted= through
the Hermitage Art Gallery which
boasts of an extraordinarily fine col-l
lection of Rembrandt, Reubens and>
Van Dyke. -;
"The Soviet comic opera 'Mar-+
riage Market' was interesting," Miss
Smith said, "and the chorus and or-
chestra were remarkably good. The
audience which was made up of
peasants and workers in their every-
day clothes was very responsive.
Everyone seemed to be enjoying him-
self.
"Tourists in Leningrad are given
every consideration. Although the
inhabitants of the city go about on
foot or on the overcrowded street
cars, Lincolns are provided for the
convenience of the visitors. With
the exception of these one seldom
sees cars on the streets of Len-
ingrad."
League Receives New
Students Friday Night
Incoming students will be hon-
ored at a reception given Friday
night, according to Grace Mayer,
'33, president of the League.
Although the plans have not
yet been completed, Miss Mayer
says that all students that are new
to the university are urged to at-
tend so that they may get better
acquainted with the League.
Recent Bride Honored
At Brilliant Reception
At a large reception held Sunday
afternoon Mrs. R. Bishop Canfield
honored Mr. and Mrs. Walter Simp-
son Holden, Jr., with a tea at her
home on Washtenaw Avenue. Mrs.
Holden, formerly Barbara Anne Can-
field, spent last year studying
abroad and was a pledge of Alpha
Phi sorority her previous year at the
University.
Mr. Holden, '33, who was a mem-
ber of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, re-
sided in Oak Park, Ill. The couple
are moving to their apartment in
Chicago, Ill., within a few days.
