COMMUNISTS AND A MILKMAID
RUMANIAN INCI0BNT BU'CHAREST For the Harst time in as long as my friend could remember, rnilk hadn't ibeen delivered that morning in Bucharest. So when she saw her milkwoman on the following day she asked what had happened, writes a cox*respondent in the Ghristian Science Monitor. "Early yesterday," the milkmaid said, "one of the heads of the Communist Party in our village carne and told us we were going on a truck ride. So wc all climhed: aboai'd and when the truck" was hlled with peasants, this man told us we were all to s'hout 'Down with Franco.' We all rode around the village for about two hours shouting "Down with Franco' and then they let us climb down and they gave each of us a slip of paper which allowed us to buy a new pair of 'boots for half .price." My friend then asked; her milkwoman if she knew who this Franco was, ";Nb, I never heard of him before," the niilkmaid replied, "but I hope w.e can shout "Down with Franco,' every week so that we can get clothes at half price."
