Mikrofoniga Keila rajoonis, 1960

In 1960 Keila, a small railway town west of Tallinn, had a textile works and a sewing factory, and its streets were being asphalted and connected to running water. Reporter Erni Järvs collected voices from the district: party and town officials, the head of the culture house, the director of the Keila state farm and the keeper of its poultry farm, the chairman of the Tuleviku kolkhoz and the chairman of the Nord fishing kolkhoz on the coast.
