PERSONALITIES
BY Nellie DodsOn

It's so hot today that every
thing sticks to everything else, but
the weather just suits my mood. /
feel like snatching someone's teeth
out, but everyone is very nice and
so I can't find any reason to flare
up. What a summer this is turn
ing out to be. It's bad enough
having to spend a vacation around
these two blastedly dull towns, but
it's worse when you have b. f
miles away. I see the rest of
these dear, darling couples moon
ing around each other, and it
makes me very unhappy. / hope
it stays hot, I hope it gets hotter,
and it can even get hotter than
that for all / care. And if / hear
another woman weeping on my
shoulder about. her heart troubles,
I'm going to explode completely.
I'm miserable enough without tax
ing on anybody else's grief. Hang
it. And besides, it looks very
much as if Pm going to have hay
fever. I can't quit sneezing. Hang
it.
The University sent out marks
this week. ] got &C" out of one
course / was certain I was going
to get "B" in. So I sailed over
to the campus, and went calling on
my instructor to ask Glow come 2"
The old dodo told me my average
had hit the "B" mark easy enough,
but / had cut class too much, and
brought my tentative average
-downe one point. Piffle. A couple
of piffles. I hope he gets hay
fever too.
"Pug" Lund must have been
very impressed with st. Peters
when he spoke there a week ago
last Sunday night, because he came
to church services last Sunday
morning and brought his fiancee,
Margaret Griffin of Rice Lake,
with him.
Here and There: Dorothea
Harris cousin from out-of-town
is cute kid. Sort of Spanishy
looking. Seems to be regular, too.
Carver's is getting so crowded
these nights that tables are at a
premium. Of course, things don't
get started until kinda latish, but
that's why it's so popular. I just
got through looking at some pic
lures of the June graduates of
Howard University, and there are
sure some tall, handsome lads
among those present, and some
lovely lassies. Yesterday / re-
ceived a letter from the House
Mother of dear old Alpha Phi
Alpha at Iowa City. She wrote
that there are some pretty nifty
fems and romeos going to summer
school down there, too. Every
frat house has a House Mother.
She keeps things in order, advises
the boys about their heart affairs,
chaperones the parties, lends
money when the monthly check is
late arriving from home, and plays
the part of Mother to all her boys
in the house. / remember when /
was down to Iowa City to the
spring party, one of the boys
wanted a radio for his room, so
that when his sweet-cakes arrived
everything would be in ship-shape
order. The monthly check from
home wasn't due for a few days
and he was fiat broke. He went
down town to the radio store to try
and talk the proprietor into letting
him rent the radio on credit, but
the proprietor evidently knew his
college boys, and said "nix." The
lad dropped around the Alpha
house all afternoon, and then
finally, he darted next door to the
home of Mrs. Winston, the House
Mother, and told her his tale of

each) for their work, the Russians
receive each month a coupon book
with their salary which is about
the size of checkbook and con-
tains slips the size of postage
stamps on which are printed the
names of various commodities.
Without one Of these coupon
books, a Russian, no matter how
wealthy, can buy nothing.
Associated with the suppression
of religion is a ban that prohibits
priests from getting work. Since
they can't work, they receive no
coupons and must beg for food.
They are even refused passes out
of the country and it is danger
Gus to attempt escape. Five hun
dred people were shot while try
ing to get across the border, only
three miles from where Mr.. Post
worked.
Easy Divorces
Getting married is a simple
matter in Russia and there are no
divorce courts, according to Mr..
Post. Matrimony is accomplished
by writing the names of the con-
tracing parties in books available
in any town, and either party can
become single again by simply go
ing back to the page and request
ing his or her name be taken off.
An interpreter in Mr.. Posts par
ty had been married Is times,
three of which were during the
time Mr.. Post knew him.
Asked about education in Rus
STA, Mr.. Post said that everyone
is being educated there today,
stress being laid on technical edu-
cation.
Russia's police department un-
der the Soviet is more efficient
even than Scotland Yard, he
said, but he gives little credence
to stories of children being train
ed to spy on and report their own
parents.
Asked about styles, Mr.. Post
said the dresses of Russian girls
are extremely short, the reason
being that the coupon books is
sued with pay envelopes allow for
only very limited quantities of
yard goods. Peasant women still
wear the costumes generally asso-
ciated with them, he said.
American cities fight nudism
but in Russia, laws prohibit swim

two companions were arrested Tor
going swimming with bathing
suits on, authorities stating that
it set a bad example for the ma
tives.
Russian people, Mr.. Post said,
are the healthiest people he has
seen in all his travels. He told
of Russians coming to work with
hunks Of black bread, cut from a
loaf the shape and size Of an au-
tomobile tire, and with thick
crusts, without wrapping, in one
pocket and a couple Of dried fish
in another pocket. This is ''lunch. I"
For breakfast and supper they eat
much the same food, adding GER
cal at breakfast.
Mr.. Post left here 80 years ago
when he moved the James A.
Pugh hardware stock, purchased
from the old firm of Moon and
Baldwin, to Hayward, Wisconsin.
He was there six months before
enrolling at the University of
Minnesota where he became a
Mechanical engineer.
His first job after leaving school
was in San Francisco where a
quake and fire had destroyed most
Of the growing city. He gained
much experience during the recon-
struction period and launched a
plumbing, heating, ventilating
and air conditioning business. It
was to install such equipment for
the government that he went to
Hawaii and the Philippines in
1910, 1911 and 1912.
He also spent much time in
eastern cities, particularly Cleve-
land and Philadelphia. It was
during the war that he went to
China where he had charge of de-
Migrating (drying) eggs for the
government. Eggs were SLIPS per
dozen in San Francisco and six
cents per dozen in China and dried
eggs chould be shipped far more
economically than fresh ones.
In Russia, Mr.. Post was chief
mechanical engineer for the Aus
tin Co. Of Cleveland, which had
the contract to furnish plans, spe-
cifications and supervise the cree
ton of a Ford automobile plant
there. He left before his contract
was fulfilled because of poor
health.
Mr.. Post drove here Thursday
from Rush City with his brother
Willis of Rush City, who will be
remembered as one Of the Post
twins. The 1876 mile trip was
made with considerable difficulty
due to the driving snow and they
left the road and tipped over neal
Willmar. Only a bent fender re-
suited, however.
Calling on his boyhood friends
Mr.. Post talked of the days wher
he was news collector" for thu
old Reveille and the startling
news breaks of that period ant
inquired about scores of people
some of whom still live here while
others have long since moved t,
other places or died.

Sees Fundamental Weakness
in Soviet System, Tells
of World Travels

Back in Redwood Falls Friday
after 80 year absence, Landon
E. Post renewed old acquaint-
ances, tried to familiarize himself
with the unbelievable change that
has taken place and talked with
old timers about the things he has
seen and done in all parts of the
world.
Mr.. Post now considers San
Francisco "home" although most
Of his life has been spent on fore
ign soil or shipboard for he has
lived in Russia, China, Hawaii,
the Philippines, anywhere that his
ability as an engineer has been in
demand.
Mini Nivogrod, U. S. S. R.,
was Mr.. Posts most recent fore
ign address and he planned to re-
turn to Russia last November,
postponing the trip because of the
danger of war breaking out in
Europe most any moment. He
was in Russia two and one-half
years, returning to America in
1881.
Asked about conditions in the
Soviet, Mr.. Post expressed the
frank opinion that contrary to
much that one reads, conditions
there compare favorably with the
American situation. However,
Mr.. Post believes fundamental
weaknesses in the Russian system
may lead to eventual downfall of
Communism.
Tear Down Churches
That weakness is the overthrow
of the church. Russians were de-
vout members of the Greek Cath
Ole church. They worshipped in
beautiful temples and their reli-
gion was an integral part of their
life. Many of these churches
have been torn down and the
brick and stone used for other
building purposes. Sunday is no
longer observed, every fifth day
being a day of rest but not of re-
ligion. Mr.. Post sees little hope
for such system, believing that
a fatal moral letdown will result.
"In Russia there is no unem-
ployment," Mr.. Post said, "Be-
cause everyone must work or go
hungry" Besides being paid in
rubles (worth about SO cents
