Mrs. Gibson. Well, we talked a little bit about clothing and food.
Mr. Jenner. That is a generalization. Tell me what you talked about.
Mrs. Gibson. Well, he said that the Russian people were very impressed with his clothing, that they did not have the quality or the style that he had. Also the sparseness of fruits, vegetables there. He told them about the supermarkets we had here and how plentiful fruit and vegetables were, how expensive butter and everything was in Russia, like that, your dairy products, aside from milk, butter, and cottage cheese, and all these things were extremely expensive and, well, like gold. Education we talked about, how much higher their educational standards are.
Mr. Jenner. Than ours?
Mrs. Gibson. Yes.
Mr. Jenner. What did he say in that connection?
Mrs. Gibson. They are much higher, that everybody is trained there to do something. That they have what would be considered, well, like your elementary school, and after you finished this required, oh, I don't know what it is, 8 or 9 years of school, you take this test, and if you pass this test you are admitted into what is considered college. If you don't pass it, you are able to choose a vocational school that you can go to to train you in some vocation, oh, like bricklayers or electricians or plumbers or something like this. You are allowed to choose whatever you want. You hear, he said, that women are laying streets, let's say, in Russia and he said that isn't because they are made to but this is because what they have chosen to do, what they want to do. That is about the general gist of what he had to say.
Mr. Jenner. Do you recall something about a time when little June was baptized?
Mrs. Gibson. Yes; I do.
Mr. Jenner. Tell us about that, please.
