Deakin went on a package tour holiday and was so fascinated i>y the USSR that she decided to learn the language. She also became friends with her I n t o u r i s t guide?, since when they have visited each other. Last year her Russian friend stayed in Chipping. Mrs Deakin spoke with


such enthusiasm for the country and its people that members felt they, too, had been there. The people were so gen­


erous that although there were many shortages, Mrs Deakin was not aware of them. Her anecdotes were amusing and interesting.
