One police official explained that hecause..many_.defectors are doctors, engineers and other professionals, their promin- ence and the news of their actions tend to give a mis- leading impression Nevertheless, it is evident that Hungarian officials are anxious about the problem Among defectors have been members of athletic teams commenting on one such case, the defection of a prom: ising young soccer player in West Germany, a Communist newspaper concluded, that in Hungary "the moral educa- tion of athletes is far below their professional training." GOODS SMUGGLED HOME Another reason why foreign travel might be curtailed is the great amount of smug- g and currency specula tion to which it has led, Early this vear an entire na tional swim team bound for Bremen was ordered back at the border when some of its executive are sold on the plan City members were found to have foreign money with them The main traffic, however, is in goods smuggled into Hungary from abroad. Some observers feel authorities may not be entirely unhappy about this because it nelps re- lieve pressure of demand on hard - pressed, generally less. efficient Hungarian enter. prizes producing the same commodities The resourceful Hungarians have found ingenious ways of overcoming the main problem connected with travel abroad money. Unable to take more than a few dollars with them when travelling, for example, to Austria, they make ar- rangements with someone in Austria to help out The. Austrian will pérhaps pay for lodgings and even gifts purchased in Austria In return, the visitor will make--some---sort, .of.7 ment to a relative of his bene- factor back in Hungary, This works out because there is hardly a family without some such connection on both sides of the border Similarly, travelling to Czechoslovakia, a Hungarian tourist may have a_ whole emply apartment or house conveniently waiting for him, complete with a list of pros- pective friends, food and a month's supply of local cur- reney, It will all have been prear- ranged with a Czechoslovak- jan intending to visit Hun. gary who will be given the same treatment Among those taking ad vantage of the travel boom are Hungarians with -- rela- tives in Canada.

It°was made of iron, There was an embarrassing silence, and then the conductor shout- ed 'all aboard for the Pacific!" Apart from pointing up a dif ference between Canadians and Americans, the completion of the Union Pacific to San Fran cisco was an important event from a Canadian point of view, At that time, there was a strong movement to have Brit ish Columbia join the U.S.A rather than Canada, It was led by Dr, J, 8.
