Being a housewife in Russia
Is no easy task.
AS the wife Of an American
exchange student at Moscow
University, / tried it for ten
months and can vouch for that
fact. The amount of time and
effort needed for such common
chores as shopping, cooking,
cleaning, washing, and ironing
never ceased to amaze me.
It is difficult to avoid at
least one shopping trip day,
especially in warm weather, be-
cause most families do not own
refrigerators.
1t seemed to us that re-
frigerators are still considered
luxuries. This may be due to the
fact that purchasing one would
put quite a dent in most family
budgets.
A refrigerator substitute is
provided by the fact that Rus
sian windows are usually double
windows instead of the single
ones common in the United
States.
This means that in each win
dow opening there is an outer
and an inner window spaced
about six inches apart. Except
in warm weather, this six inch
space is used for refrigeration.
One other variation we noticed
on several apartment buildings
was a windowbox type of ar
rangement. We used the space
in between our windows and
found that it provided adequate,
if undependable sometimes we

Gives Paper
AT Meeting

Philip Saginor, a pharmacist
at the Medical Arts Pharmacy,
1894 Euclid ave-, is giving a
paper on "The Role of Phar-
macy in Chiropody" at the
meeting of the American Col
lege Of Apothecaries in Kansas
City which starts Tuesday.
Saginor has been teaching at
the Ohio College of Chiropody
the past IA years and two years
ago received an honorary doc
torate there.
The meeting he is attending
will be a gathering Of top pre-
scription men in this country
and Canada.
His paper will cover back
ground and educational re-
quirements, legal status in a
state survey and slides on 40
typical prescriptions being used.

trains and the operation Of the
station.
The appeal is being made to
the state Public Utilities Com
mission and a hearing is set
for Thursday, Oct. 4th.
Apthorp will take the issue
before the city commission
Tuesday night and has stated
he will recommend the COM
missioner not to oppose the ac-
ton of the railroads.
The dreary but spacious sta
ton is the last local reminis-
cence of a once vast and power
full empire that in the past two
decades has seen other modes
of transportation chip away at
its life's blood.
Statistics provided BY the
railroads show that now less
than one passenger per day
uses the terminal, located at
Emily and Superior aves.
Apthorp said he was in agree
ment with the carriers that
based on figures provided, there
wasn't enough business to war
rant continued use Of the sta
ton.
The city manager was asked
what he would like to see re-
place the railroad landmark,
and he answered without hes
itation an apartment develop
ment.
However, he indicated that he
doubted whether there would be
any investors for this type pro-
ject.
The site appears to be we'll
suited for apartments with the

ter nearby and the rapid tran
sit even closer.
The East Cleveland station
was built nearly 40 years ago
to service the East Side and
Heights area. The next closest
station east is in Painesville
and west in downtown Cleve-
land.
When the station was built
the permit to construct the
building listed the project at
100000.
Railroad officials will not
reveal the asking price for the
land and building now, but it
is known to be considerably
less.
A New York Central official
pointed out that the downtown
terminal was built at a cost of
$50 million but is available at
the bargain price of $40 million.
What with this modern space
age, railroad stations appear to
be a dreg on the market.

Stores Are Specialized
Most food stores in Moscow

store for meat, another for
vegetables, a third for bread,

Fee for
Inspection
Is Sought

The East Cleveland City
Commissioners will be asked
Tuesday night to approve leg
islation calling for an inspec-
ton fee that is expected TO
affect some 100 owners of
multiple dwelling units.
According to City Manager
G. T Apthorp, the resolution
will be aimed at those who have
not acquired certificates Of
occupancy by October.
Under the new and strict
housing codes, this certificate
can only be issued after a unit
has passed severe inspec-
tion.
Of the $40 buildings that
have been inspected since the
new code became effective, 49O
or 70 per cent have been
okayed with another % ex-
pected to meet requirements
before the end of this month
Apthorp stated that the in
spection fee will catch those
who are not issued certificates
The fee for certificates each
year is $3.50 per suite with e
maximum charge of 800. The
inspection fee called for is the
same.
"The inspection fee will he
asked for" said Apthorp, "be
cause the large majority o1
multiple dwelling owners have
paid their 1862 fee. The new
measure would mean that those
who do not comply will still be
subject to q charge"

TO The Editor
(Continued from Page p

Dear Editor:
had no Idea that "WE THE
NAVAJO PEOPLE" had such a
paper in existance back home till
this morning. My wife finally sent
me one. (Bless her) ! think Nava-
10 Times has the news that we
need to know while man is away
from home. When a man is away
from home he just wonders what
is going On back home. From the
first article &c the last one in the
paper | read about more people
that know back home. This makes
a man feel right at home even tho
he is away from home.
There are quite few Of US Ma
vajo people who have worn the
United States Military uniform and
some are still wearing it who al
ways wonder what IS happening
back on the Reservation. NAVAJO
TIMES has solved that problem. |
assure you that my subscription
for the NAVAJO TIMES will be on
the way this afternoon.
There are seven Of US Navajos
in the Augsburg area and we get
together every now and then just
to pass the news around | think
the NAVAJO TIMES will hit the
jack pot with US JOHNS here in
Augsburg also.
Congratulations for your re-
porting the NAVAJO TIMES and my
best wishes to the success of this
excellent newspaper Keep up the
good work.
