"THRILLED' SAYS HILDA MURRAY

Krushchev at Kremlin rally
as Canadian woman speaks

TORONTO—Heading a six-
member Canadian delegation
to the World Congress of
Women in Vienna, speaking in
the Great Hall of the Kremlin
in Moscow to 2,000 women at a
meeting attended by President
Klementi Voroshilov and Pre-
mier N. S. Khrushchev, visiting
a Soviet children’s camp at
Yalta—these were some of the
experiences reported by Mrs.
Hilda Murray, president of the
Congress of Canadian Women,
on her return here from an ex-
tended visit to Europe.

“The World Congress of
Women was a memorable ex-
perience,” said Mrs. Murray.
“Here were women from. 69
countries, sharing the same
hopes and fears, coming to-
gether to determine how best
they could meet their great
responsibility of all women to-
day — to safeguard peace, ob-
tain a better education for their
children and shape a_ better
world for the next generation.

“A lot was heard about edu-
cation at the congress. Perhaps
the most shocking fact was the
report that half the children in
the world, over 200 million,
have no education provided for
them at all.

“Tt was facts like these. that
impelled the congress to de-
mand, in a resolution addressed
to all governments, that arms
budgets be reduced and educa-
tion budgets increased.”

Recounting the reception
given to delegates in Vienna,
Mrs.,Murray said:

“Viennese. women marched

_into the convention hall carry-

ing clothes. baskets filled with
petitions from 2,000,000 Austri-

out any need or desire to cast
covetous eyes at other lands.

“The emphasis of all their
building is on peace, not war.
The purpose of everything they
are doing is to pfovide them-
selves with the highest stan-
dards in the world. Why should
they want war to destroy their
own green and. very pleasant
land?”

Mrs. Murray said that many
visitors to the Soviet Union
were shocked to see women do-
ing work which in Western
countries is traditionally done
by men.

“Seeing women working at
such jobs as plastering and
road work shocks some visitors,
but it tickled me,” she com-
mented.

“It reminded me of some jobs
we do in our own country,
helping men on the farm, help-
ing to build houses and sum-

A bout between Floyd Patter-

practical type of woman who
can pitch in when the man is
not around.”

One of Mrs. Murray’s strong-
est impressions was of what
she termed “the red carpet
treatment” given to workers.

“You see them everywhere,
crowding hotels and airports,
dining at tables set out with
glass, damask tablecloths—no
plastic, if you please—dressed
in everyday. hodden gray, to
use a Scottish expression,
where in such places at home
we see only the smartly garbed
and manicured middle class.

“And in former palaces and
luxurious estates, thousands of
workers receive the fine.care
and medical attention formerly
enjoyed only by the aris-
tocracy.”
