RED KERCHIEFS IN THE COUNTRY OF THE DOLLAR
The story of the Young Pioneer Movement in the United States was written by one of the
former American Young Pioneers, Harry Eisman who lived in the USSR from 1931. In1974 he
visited New York, where he went to see his old school and other places of his childhood.
Young Pioneer detachments were first formed in Chicago in 1923. In the beginning they
were young pioneer clubs, where children learnt revolutionary songs, studied the history of the
workers movement, went in for sports and games. But life in the United States was very hard

AV9 HSG.T 2007 - 2008

in those days for the workers families and the young pioneers took an active part in the
workers struggle for their rights.
One of the most important events of those days was the strike of the textile workers in New
Jersey, which went on for eleven months. The owners of the textile mills did everything to
break the strike. They engaged strike-breakers to work in the mills, sent the police to arrest the
workers pickets around the mills, but the workers did not stop the strike. They were supported
by progressive people all over the country. A powerful national campaign of solidarity was
begun. Everywhere people collected money, clothes and food. The pioneers also took an active
part in this struggle. They organized childrens clubs with kitchens to feed the children of the
striking workers.
Young pioneers also visited many flats and collected money and warm clothes.
One day, they decided to visit Passaic and meet the children of the striking workers. Louis
Obgiler had a small Ford wagon. He loved children and decided to help them. On Saturday
morning his wagon, all decorated with calls to support the strike, stood ready to receive the
pioneers. It was too small to take all those who wished to go, so some had to remain in New
York.
They arrived in Passaic on Sunday and went at once to the strike committee where the
children were already waiting for their New York guests. The New York pioneers had collected
enough money to open a kitchen where the children whose fathers or mothers were on strike
could get a hot meal. After the meal the children remained to play, sing songs and listen to
stories about the workers struggling against the capitalists.
In those years in sixty-three cities and towns of the United States there were young pioneer
detachments. Pioneers were given membership cards and before receiving them they took the
Young Pioneer Oath: I promise to be true to the Workers Red Banner and to the cause it
serves. We have one aim in our life- to liberate the working class.
Every young pioneer meeting began with these words. The young pioneers had red
kerchiefs but they could not wear them in school because pioneer activity was forbidden in
schools, they wore them only on the First of May, at the workers meeting or in the pioneer
camp.

Question 4 : Read then match each paragraph ( 1 8 ) to its main idea or related idea ( A L )
Eight paragraphs ( 1 8 ) :
1. Vegetables are good for us. They have a lot of vitamins which we need to grow up strong
and healthy. There are many types of vegetables. I love tomatoes, spinach, cucumbers,
cabbages and lettuce. Mother always buys vegetables when she goes to the market. I eat at
least one type of vegetables daily. I refuse to eat my meals when I do not see any
vegetable dish on the table. However, that seldom happens as Mother knows that I love
vegetables.
2. The children are excited. Their parents are taking them to the circus today. There will be
many exciting acts at the circus. However, the children are looking forward to the magic
show very much. They have heard that the performing magician is very good. They
cannot wait to watch all his magic tricks. They hope that the magician will ask for
volunteers during the show. They want to get a chance to go on stage and watch the
magician perform up close.
3. The examination is coming soon. I have been studying hard every day for the past three
weeks. My teacher says that she is pleased with my hard work. She believes that I can
pass the examination with flying colours. I am happy to hear that my teacher has
confidence in me. I shall try to pass my examination well to show her that I have really
prepared myself well. I also want to pass my examination so that I can get promoted to a
good class next year.
4. Two teams of seven people each will play against each other and try to score as many
goals as possible. A goal is scored when a player throws the ball over and through the net
that is guarded by a player from the other team. With all the excitement, the rules are
sometimes broken but there are always two umpires at each match to see that the game is
play in a fair manner.
5. Telephones are useful and convenient for many reasons. People who like to talk with their
families, friends and business associates cannot possibly carry on their activities without
fast communication. However, it is in emergencies that the telephone really proves its
usefulness. When there is a fire, or when someone is suddenly taken ill, the first thing one
thinks of is, Where is the nearest telephone? so that help can be summoned.

AV9 HSG.T 2007 - 2008

6. The doctor then proceeds to examine the patient. He may take the patients temperature,
check his blood pressure, listen to his heart and lungs, and examine whatever affected
parts of his body. Often he is able to make a diagnosis right away and prescribe the
necessary treatment.
7. No one goes through life without handling money. Millions of people work hard year in
and year out to earn money. Some people are born into money, some marry into money,
others inherit money. Millions buy lottery tickets hoping to win money. Some people even
break the law in order to get money. Everybody wants to have money because it makes
life easy.
8. For many years in the United Kingdom, it was hard to find a school in some urban areas
where children were not beaten by teachers. However, in 1984 a law was passed; it
stopped corporal punishment in state schools. In many private schools, however,
discipline is much stricter and children are still beaten.
