The Merkel's daughter, Miss Sharon Jean Merkel, is a senior at the Glendale Sani tarium, Glendale, Calif. Student in Finland Writes About Clothes, Communism and. Church Most of the Finnish people dislike Communists very much, according to a Medford High school student spending the summer in Kurikka, Fin land under the American Field service program. Miss Caro lyn Mencke, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Mencke, 2141 East Jackson boulevard, dis cussed the topic of Commu nism in Finland in a recent letter to her .parents. . .. Miss Mencke also wrote of recent events planned by her host family for her entertain ment. She wrote on July 6: The Fourth of July was no different from any other day, except Marjo's father brought an American flag to me. I thought that was very nice of him. The weather is real nice today is about 86 degrees. Now Telle, Marjo's girl friend, Marjo and I are at the sauna cottage for the night. I just love it. The "river is just per fect for swimming, there are woods all around and a record player. We brought a lot of food and things, and will go home tomorrow night. Some movie people came and took movies of us swimming, sun bathing, etc. I felt a little ridiculous and am glad I won't be around when the film comes out. Saturday we went to the dance, and it was surely dif ferent from ours. The kids all go. on bicycles and never in couples. There is a different band each Saturday. The boys wear suits and ties, and the girls heels. The tango is their favorite dance, and when the band plays a tango, the boys rush over to the girl's side and the girls crowd to the front so that they'll be no ticed. They never say a word while they're dancing, which is very lucky for me. Sunday night Marjo, her boy friend, Telle and I went to the show. I can just imag ine what a boy would think at home if two other girls "tagged along" on : a date. Here no one thought anything of it. Car Arrives .Today a new '59 Chevy was in the village. You'd have thought Men from Mars had landed from the crowd that gathered. You see very few cars." In another letter July 13 she wrote: "Guess what? To morrow Marjo, her father and I- are going to Helsinki, and then Marjo and I are flying to North Finland, or Lapland. I'm really excited.We're leav ing early in the morning and will' get to Helsinki shortly after noon".. We'll have until 7 to shop,- and then we fly to Rovaniem, will stay all night there and then fly on to Pais Tunturi for two days. The sun never sets there this time of year-it goes down in the sky and then starts back up. Friday we went to Vaasa, a city of about 42,000 people. Our clothes are -more con servative than here.

Miss Jarman, sponsored by Dick Spain's Band of Eagle Point, is the 17-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Lee Jarman, Medford. Miss Jarman's ambition is to become a nurse, and her hob bies include reading and bowling. Her pets include three cocker spaniels and one cat.

The winner will be announced at the queen's dance Wednesday, July 29, Jacksonville Community Hall. The queen and her court will be honored at a banquet Thurs day. July 30. . ate at a very nice restaurant, and I made the same mistake for the third time. They serve meat, potatoes, tomatoes, etc., so I stuff myself and then find that is the firsf course. Next was potatoes and deli cious whitefish. Communists "Mad" One thing is very clear. Most Finns " dislike Commu nists very much. Marjo told me about the festival the Com munists have in May. The party pays 500 marks to any one who will march in the streets during the festival. Marjo said, 'There are quite a few Communists in Kurikka. They're awful people. I think they must be quite mad'. ' The Communists have 50 of the 200 seats in Parliament, and there aremany Commu nists in the high offices , of the labor unions. She told me about a strike at their 'fac tory about five years ago. During the strike the Commu nist union officers would go every morning to the factory to see if anyone was work ing, and they ridiculed Marjo in the streets. She told of a friend of her father's in Helsinki, who is from Czechoslovakia. He can never leave the city or speak freely, because there are al ways men around listening. Mr. Luhtala I told me they have fought Russia three times in his lifetime, and the taxes here are among the highest in the world, partly because of the huge sum they had to pay Russia after the war. Marjo said, 'The Russians are very wful neighbors'. Church Different We went to church Sunday. I can't begin to capture in words the feeling it gave me, but it's by far the most differ ent thing from home that I have encountered. The ceme tery surrounds the church, and before the service the peo ple bring many flowers to the graves. It's very beautiful, but I don't associate a cemetery and a church together.

There are lots of ornate gold designs, elaborate chandeliers, candles,, etc., but no carpet -only a cement floor, and the pews are made of painted boards and are very straight up and down. The minister walks in, wearing a black garb with a cape type thing in the back, and kneeling at the altar reads from a book, probably the Bible. He sings solos or chants. There is no hymn book, only printed words, and the people don't rise to sing. The hymns have quite sad tunes. slow and rather long. After the sermon there is more "read ing with ' the congregation responding by singing. The whole mood is very serious, formal, even sad. It s not joy ous, warm or friendly at all, It hardly seemed like church to me. Teen agers hardly ever go to church, mostly, just old people, and there is no Sun day School or other activities during the weekHhat I know of. . I never realized how won derful our church is, and I'll never take it for granted again. ' No offense to you, but I'm not homesick. I only wish you could be here to experience everything I have-it's ail so wonderful. Nylanders Home After Vacation Mr. and - Mrs. Wallace B Nylander and their sons, Rob in and Terry, spent a recent vacation in California.

Have they been crisp, attractive and varied with ingredients and dressings so that the diners await each one with eager an ticipation? That's the way your salads should be, and that's the way salads can be with a bit of planning and imagination. It's easy to pre pare the same, old salad with the same old dressing day after day, but it's just as easy to use novel salad combina tions and try new dressings for flavorful salad surprises. ; The tossed salad is always popular and with western grown lettuce so plentiful, you twill want to serve this type of salad often. But vary it . . . use. other, greens for color contrast, tuck in slices of avocado when they are a "best buy," or add a few sliv ers of cheese or leftover cold ham, turkey or salami. Then take advantage of all the many dressings on the market or experiment with some of your own ideas, such as sour cream mixed with lemon juice, chopped green onions, salt, pepper and sugar. Gelatin Salads Remember, too, the many tempting gelatin salads you can prepare. When making your salads try a variety of molds, such as the large ring, individual or perhaps those especially shaped, as a tuna souffle salad in a fish mold. Unmold your salads on crisp Iceberg . lettuce leaves and garnish with fresh vegetable curls, olives, nutmeats, fresh fruit slices for greater, appe tite appeal. Cabbage slaws are another area where the cook too often is limited in serving ideas. Try adding fresh orange chunks, pineapple cubes, grapes, nutmeats, experiment with a sesame seed dressing or perhaps you'd prefer a hot cabbage slaw, with a sweet- sour dressing. Don't neglect the many mouth-watering fruit salad combinations you can serve ... a honey dress ing or a sweet celery seed dressing shines in this depart ment. For Molded Vegetable Salad use 2 cups, finely-shredded cabbage, li cups finely chopped 'celery, 2 cups shred- ed carrots, Vi cup chopped green pepper, 2 tbsp. sugar, V2 cup wine vinegar, 2 tbsp gelatin, V cup cold water, 2V2 cups tomato juice, hot, V cup lemon juice, 1 tsp. salt, V4 tsp. . pepper, M tsp. dry mustard, 2 tbsp. grated onion. Method: Combine cabbage, celery, carrots and green pep per. Marinate in sugar and vinegar ' for 1 hour. Soften gelatin in cold water and dis solve in tomato juice. Add lemon juice, salt, pepper, mus tard and onion. Drain raw vegetables and add to gelatin mixture. Pour into 1 quart ring mold and chill until firm Unmold on crisp lettuce leaves and fill center with cottage cheese. Serve with mayon naise. Serves 6 to 8.

Choose a black spine cu cumber. The cucumb ers should be firm, small to me dium in size, and used within 24 hours of picking.' Use enameled, glass, alumi num, stainless steel or stone ware utensils. Brass, copper, iron, and galvanized kettles cause unattractive color changes in pickles, or react with the acid or salt to pro duce unwholesome substances. Use pure dairy or pickling salt. If flake salt must be used, increase the measure by a scant one-half. Use high-grade cider or white distilled vinegar of 40 to 60 per cent grain strength. Use whole spices, fresh and of the best quality, unless the recipe specifies they should be ground. Tie them in a cloth so they can be removed be fore the pickles are canned. If left in too long; spices make the pickles dark and strong. Seal the jars airtight while boiling hot, or process the jars in a waterbath canner long enough to destroy bac teria and molds.
