...Francis Everett Townsend's day as economic savior of the nation is past virtually everywhere but in Chelan, Wash. Chelan, a Main-Street town of 2,000 population, is perched high above the Columbia River, some 90 miles northeast of Grand Coulee Dam. Chelanites depend for their livelihood on seasonal occupation in the fine apple orchards of broad Chelan Valley. In the winter, when there is little work for them in the snow-covered orchards, they are hard pressed.

Lola Kinel returned from a visit to the U. S. just in time to see the first revolution in Petrograd. It was just like a Russian Easter. "It was grand. All one had to do to feel tremendously exhilarated was to go out on the streets." With the Bolshevik Revolution everything got more serious. Lola was an anti-Bolshevik. She turned down a chance to become one of Trotsky's secretaries, got a job instead on the Russian Daily News, only English daily paper in Petrograd, and the last counter-revolutionary paper to be suppressed. She fell in love...
