From the Soviet Press, 1951

Saida Akhadova

"All the women employed at the Stalinabad Textile Mills unanimously signed the Stockholm Appeal and sealed their signature with Stakhanovite labour: the entire personnel of our plant went on a Stakhanovite Peace Watch. The shop in which I work as shift forewoman joined in the Peace Watch with the rest, and already at the time when the envoys of the Soviet people gathered in Moscow at the Second U.S.S.R. Peace’ Conference to express their will for peace, many of the women in my shift had completed their annual output program and were turning out production on account of their 1951 program. On December 18, the factory as a whole completed its annual plan in honour of the Second World Peace Congress.

No matter where they may work, the women .of Tajikistan always re member that the output they produce in excess of plan represents a valuable contribution to the cause of peace. That is why we are working with such enthusiasm." -- Saida Akhadova, Member of the Peace Committee of the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic, Deputy to the Supreme Soviet of the Tajik SSR
