Communists Are Building Particularly among the natives |of Siberia, Miss Gruber stated, did ! |she find “the nobility of the earth” | |and stressed the Russians' rapid ac- ‘uulsltion of the impulse toward life. “Scratch a Russian and you find a human being,” she said succinctly, and remarked on the | number of public offices held by womeh of the Soviet. In Ygarka, Siberia, women hold the offices of mayor, chief of police, wireless op- erators, and the jobs of stevedores, | winchmen - and lumberjacks, she | | found. | In describing Siberian transporta- tion, the lecturer named the rivers |as “the highways of Siberia — in |summer, waterways, and, in winter highways paved with ' ice upon ' which trucks and . tractors oper- | ate.” In closing Miss Gruber summed up Alaskans as being “insulated from ' |the whole world, but raw, naked ' and exposed to each other.” Musical Renditions The musical selections present- €d by Milton Steinhardt at the! beginning of the program showed (eminemly fine technique which yet did not detract from the emotion- | {al values of the numbers played. | Accompanied by Carol Beery | Davis, Mr. Steinhardt presented ' ‘Hnumesu renditions of Tschaikow- |sky’s “Ye Who Have Yearned | Alone”; “To a Wild Rose,” by Mac- |Dowell; and as encore numbers “‘Mnlaauenn" with "its challenging and difficult pizzicato passages; and Schubert’s “The Bee.” | The program was sponsored by the Executive Committee of the | Juneau Woman's Club, with cluh president Mrs. Thomas Parke act- |ing as chairman of the evening, |Mrs, D.
