"One of my main duties is to en-

plain the government's policy to the neighbors." she said. "Many of the residents are old. and haven't learned about the aims of the party. or what to do during no election." The street committee makes complete the lack of privacy in new China. Even a family squab- ble or an argument between man and wife falls under the scrutiny of Mrs. Yu ind her OOIIIIIIII-Lass leaders. '

"If they are not getting along, or if there is trouble of any kind in the household. we help them straighten it out." she said with a smile.

Mrs. Yu explained that the street was broken down into it smalll precints. with a leader for each.

LEADER KNOWS ALL

The cultural committee is re- sponslblc for literacy. Women are taught to read in night classes. while the men generally study in schools provided by their factor ies.

"We have no political lessons in the neighborhood study groupa.' said Mrs. Yu. "They are not nec- essary. The reading material used is the ..ewspaper and they will learn political thinking from those."

CLEAN HOUSE

Mrs. Yu's house was the clean est on the street. By Chinese stan- dards. it was a comfortable place.

The front room contained a glass-topped desk, cupboard. table and three chairs and the family bed. There were no radio. books or luxury items. She has a sew- ing machine.

Although Mrs. Yu is not paid for her lob she and her husband and ll-ycar-old daughter live better than most Shanghai families. Her husband is a technician in a steel fnctory. and earns 210 yuan a
