Huguette Robineau, 24-year- old former primary teacher in Sudoury's French school sys- tem, is a glowing example of the new look in schoolmarms.

The reason we had no visas was because our applications for Polish visas took six weeks to be completed and there was no time left to apply separately for the other two. So full of Canadian con- fidence and armed with valid passports and health certifi- cates we set off. Our. confidence was further fortified when we sailed through the immigration on arrival at Prague, capital of Czechoslovakia. Here, at the airport we were directed to the cashier's wicket where we cashed traveller's cheques for Czech Krowns (16 to the U.S. dollar for tourists while the normal rate of exchange is 7 to the dollar), then we filled in application papers, stating how many days we would be in the country; gave the officer two extra pass- port photographs and after much stamping with indelible ink and the payment of $4.50 each, he handed us "our papers". So why should we worry about Hungary? Perish the thought. Across Slovakia By Train After a few rapturous days in Prague -- it is a golden Gothic city, completely unspoiled, we left by train for Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, an old city on the banks of the Danube. We had a large, airy room with private bath in the Hotel Carlton, which must be fairly new. We covered the |volves "just about every branch of science."

They came in overlapping waves, two or three at a time, so that the doorway to our compart- ment was always congested with some going out and others coming in. The uniforms were all ofthe olive green variety with red stars on the collars and cap badges and since neither Margaret nor I could speak Czechoslovakian or Hungarian we couldn't tell who was who or what was what, or what all the argument was about. At this point we were not the least bit alarmed or even dismayed. We smilingly opened our' baggage so that they could see we had no guns or ammunition and emptied our purses so that they could count our traveller's cheques. I have a suspicion that they didn't know what they were and perhaps give-away coupons would have looked more valuable. We had already handed over our passports. After about half an hour of this, when my smile was beginning to ache, an obviously senior officer appeared and indicated that our passports were no good. No good? The smile really came off then. The compartment and corridor beyond were already jammed but he squeezed in two Rumanian fellows, pre- sumably passengers, who spoke a bit of English. After they got through telling us what sort of a pig he was, they explained that we must go back to Bratislava and get visas from the Hungarian consulate. How could we? We had no Czech money. We had reservations at a hotel in Budapest and so on and so on. It was no use. They were holding up a local train for us and we must go back on it. We would be back in Brati- slava by about 11.00 p.m.; the consulate was open all night for emergencies and there would be another: train for Budapest at 4:00 a.m. All of which proved to be untrue, BROADLOOM 15 King Street East CUSTOM MADE DRAPES Phone 725-2686 MORE POWER TO YOUR FOOD DOLLAR OWER Supv Food.-Manbity. .

Our railway tickets were like vouchers, the size of a large envelope, and something had been written on the back of them because when the conductor came around he didn't ask for any more money. We had none anyway. Then we began to get hungry and the pangs became worse at every stop, and there were many, when the pas- sengers would dash off and come back with bread or fruit A plump young housewife with a number o! parcels and bulging string bags sat across from us and must have been observing us closely. At a fairly large station, she gathered up her paraphernalia and left. We nodded goodbye. In a few minutes she was back with four, meat- filled rolls and two ice cream bars which she deposited on my lap Oh, the vexing barrier of language! We both tried to thank her arfd I quickly unearthed a dollar bill (un- declared) and pressed it into her hand as a "souvenir". She left the train then, but her kindness will stay with us for ever. So finally tired and dirty, we arrived back in Brati- slava. The taxi driver, rather reluctantly accepted a U.S. dollar for our fare back to the hotel, where the receptionist looked as if she were seeing ghosts when we approached the desk. Fortunately there was a room available and she ad- vanced us 80 Krowns on a five dollar deposit, After a bath and a light meal we felt equal to sending a telegram to the hotel in Budapest advising our delay. What a pantomime that little effort turned out to be. The spinster in charge wouldn't send it because she couldn't read it. She suggested telephoning. We said we wouldn't pay unless she could get someone at the hotel who spoke English. She didn't like that either, but she did succeed, after a fashion It was midnight when we sank into our beds, mindful of meeting the Hungarian consul in the morning.. The Consul Was Unconsoling He wouldn't see us when we presented ourselves at 9:00 a.m. We must come back at 10. We handed in our passports at the appointed time and discovered that Mar- garet had left her extra photographs at the hotel. No taxi in sight so we rocketed back in an old tram and back again. This time the secretary asked for $4.50 each so we handed over a ten dollar bill, He disappeared into an inner sanctum and after an endless wait, returned to say that my application was no good. He didn't speak English and we were trying to converse in garbled German. The trouble, it seemed, was something to do. with my being a journalist and he had telephoned Budapest, This brought on a minor uproar. 1 expostulated with him in my own tongue and told him I was a tourist like any other. He wanted an extra 31 Krowns for something and I refused to pay it. It was quite a scene but it blew over like a summer storm, He returned from the inner office with the passports and visas, all smiles and it wasn't until we were out on the street that we realized that we didn't get any change from our ten dollars, but he didn't get the 31 Krowns either, so we let it go af that Now, were we ready to make another assault an the border crossing?

We must go to the police, they said, for papers. Time was running out so they kindly called a taxi for us and told the driver what we had to do. From then on we were his charges. He bought the two required stamps at 20 Krowns each, and drove us to the city limits to the police department; found room 47 and introduced us to a pleas ant officer who looked at passports, visas, papers and vouchers and said that was enough.
