j Few Differences
I Noled Between
j Americans, Danes
. John Hansen Likes Life
j With Medford Family
! After almost six months in
the United States and Medford,
John Hansen, 17-year-old ex
j change student from Copenha
! gen, Denmark, says. "I can't say
j at this time I prefer one coun
j try to the other."
; John arrived by plane in Med
J ford last August to attend Med
! ford High school this year while
I living with an American family.
Among new American friends
f greeting him on his arrival, were
I the family with which he is re
J nding. Mr. and Mrs. Holger D.
I Chrisienscn. 29 Richmond ave.,
and their three children, Dan,
; Judy and Jill.
J Frrit Exchange Student
' John, whose father is a baker,
is Medford's first foreign ex
; change student. He was brought
; here through the American Field
J Service and is sponsored locally
I by the Rotary club.
He said the chief reason for
j his wanting to visit the United
j States was to know Americans
; better and understand the coun
S try's problems.
"Towns and schools in the
( United States are different," he
; said. "But I adjusted easily and
j now feel perfectly at home."
People are less reserved in a
! small town and it is easier to
make friends than in larger cit
f ies, he added. Copenhagen has
' a population of more than
5 1.000.000.
Sama aa Danas
The Danish exchange student
; said he expected a greater dif
I ference in American people.
' But, he said. Americans have the
same troubles, desires and appe
; ties as Danes and respond to
I them the same way.
t John pointed out Denmark is
definitely "pro-American," but
added many Danes think Amer
icans are too "money conscious''
and too concerned with "keep
ing up with their neighbors."
Though the standard of living
is much higher here. John said.
Americans probably are no more
materialistic than most Danes.
When something is done in Den
mark resembling American effi
ciency, it is often referred to as
just the result of "typical Amer
ican speed" or "hurry."
Denmark in Hurry
But, John noted, people in
jDenmarfc are getting hurried too
" and that "hurry" just seems to
be 'an unavoidable symptom of
the times, whether in Denmark
or the United States. .
This points out a valuable as
pect of the exchange student
program, according, to John,
which is giving more people an
understanding of each other, im
proving international relations.
An effect of the program has
heen realizing American and
European conceptions of each
other are often false, he said.
Contrasting social life in
America with Denmark's, he
commented in his home land
family ties have more meaning
than here. Relatives in Denmark
often spend evenings together,
he said, while Americans often
prefer "the TV."
Likes Home Life
Discussing his likes about
America. John said he holds his
"family life" with the Christian
sen's above all else. "1 have been
treated like one of the family."
he added. "Just like a son would
be."
("My family," referring to his
American foster parents, "have
been helpful in my adjusting to
the community," he said.
John also confessed he was
becoming a little Americanized
and watches television, reads
American books, attends school
dances and enjoys the company
of other high school students.
Mrs. Christensen said that in
August the family had a choice
of three students. "We chose
John mostly because we already
have two girls and wanted a boy
as a companion for our son. Dan
is 17 years old. Judy 15 and Jill
7'i.'"
Rotary Project
Since John's arrival here is a
Rotary project, the organization
decided to place him in the
home of a Rotarian. The Chris
tensens were selected because
Christensen is a member and the
' family met all of the strict qual
ifications. The Rotarians applied for an
exchange student over a year
ago. The American Field Service
carefully screens prospective ex
changees as to their scholastic
ability, character.' personality,
and similar qualities. The entire
life history of the student is
studied and taken into considera
tion. To Gat Diploma
Since John has passed his re
medial course English grammar
test, necessary for graduation, he
expects to receive a high school
diploma this June. After grad-

EXCHANGE STUDENT John Hansen. 17-year-old exchange stu
dent from Copenhagen, Denmark, says he feels perfectly at home
after being in Medford and the United States for nearly five
months. He is a senior at Medford Senior High. John says he

sen, 29 Richmond ave.
biting he" will return to Den
mark, either to teach English in
an elementary and secondary
school or go into business as an
apprentice.
Courses he is taking at Med
ford High include junior Eng
lish, U.S. history, American
problems, typing, and physical
education. Next term he may
take a course in journalism and
work on the school paper.
John, who speaks English flu
ently, studied the language in
Denmark five years before com
ing to the United States. He
added while speaking or writing
in English, he now also thinks
in the language. Before, he first
thought in Danish and translat
ed into English.
To Leare in June
Before returning to Denmark
he will join other exchange stu
dents "in western United States
for a three-week tour of the
country, winding up in New
York. He leaves Medford June
25.
Rotarian President C. Weldon
Kline said "The American Field
Seryices takes complete respon
sibility for the students. If things
do not work out harmoniously in
the homes, the service moves
them elsewhere." Approximate
ly 800 foreign youths were
placed in American homes last
year.
.Kline advises those wanting
exchange students in their
homes this year to apply as soon
as possible. Individuals as well
as organizations may sponsor
exchanges.
Senator Morse Votes
Against Filibustering
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
United Press Correipondent
Washington U.R) The
senator who holds the indoor
record for non-stop talking voted
against it.
Not that Sen. Wayne L. Morse
(D-Ore) is against filibustering.
He said before the Senate late
Friday what he has said many
times before: That he would talk
himself blue in the jowls if the
call came.
And finally before voting
against the idea of unlimited
debate he said:
"Ever since I have been in the
Senate I have worked for the
protection of minority rights,
full and free debate and majori
ty rule. I know the merits of
full debate because I have joined
others to use it to focus public
attention upon undesirable legis
lation. On no occasion have I
joined, nor will I join, in an
attempt to prevent a vote on
the merits of a bill if there has
has been opportunity for reason
able debate."
His speech ran only 12 min
utes, a poor showing against his
record performance in April,
1953, when he became hoarse
talking for 22 hours, 26 minutes
and some three odd seconds.
The '53 talkathon was over
the so - called tidelands bill,
which he opposed.
First he took a running start
and was interrupted by the late
Sen. Robert A. Taft (R-Ohio)
who asked "How long will this
go on?"
Morse replied: "I had a rather
bad meal last night, which is
going to handicap me somewhat,
but I think I am good for eight
to 12 hours."
The record shows that that
was a low estimate.
But in Morse's mind it was all
for a purpose and he contends
that the end result was at least
a moral triumph. .
