1 MAIL TRIBUNE, MtJford, Or. Tuesday, Nov. 10, 1959 Finns Are Strongly Pro-Western, AFS Student Savs Here ine iinnish people are strongly pro-Western in their personal feelings and have a high opinion of the American people, according to Miss Carolyn Mencke. However, they are unable to put these personal feelings into their IOreiZn Tnlirv Kprancp nf their proximity to Russia, she added. Russia borders Finland on the East so the Finns are not too . anxious to offend them for fear of their national safety. Miss Mencke was guest speaker at the Jackson County Chancer of Commerce luncb eon at the Jackson hotel Mon day. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Mencke of 2141 East Jackson st. One of 1,000 Students Miss Mencke was in Finland last summer under the spon sorship of the American Field Service, an organization dedi cated to spreading good-will among countries by sending students from one country to live with a family in another .country. She was one of about 1,000 American students to visit abroad under the pro gram this summer. Although the Finland gov ernment is somewhat afraid of Russia, the people them selves are proud of the fact that after having fought nu merous wars with Russia they are still an independent coun try, Mrs. Mencke said. They are not to be considered a Russian satellite. Some 80 per cent of their foreign trade is with the West. One of the sights that most Impressed Miss Mencke while In Finland was the "souna." The souna is a kind of bath popular with the Finnish peo ple. It has become more of a custom -rather than a means of cleanliness, she said.

After emerging from the water he then beats and rubs himself with bunches of birch leaves, Miss Mencke said. Frozen rivers in the winter months do not put a stop to this sport, for a hole big enough to jump through is cut in the ice, she added. Although the government of Finland is a democracy, there are still some differ ences between it and the gov ernment of the U. S. Finland has a multiple party system; some seven political parties in all. 10 Provinces There are 10 provinces which are comparable to our states, except that they have far less local autonomy than one of our states would, Miss Mencke said. For instance, the school system is operated by the central government in stead of the provinces. Miss Mencke noted that Finland has a state church, which is Lutheran, but people are not forced to go. Miss Mencke said that there are som,e Communists among the Finnish people but they are more attracted to the economic rather than the- Communist political philo sophy. The Communists are not the kind that are subser vient to Moscow, she said. Miss Joe Kirtley, assistant principle at Medford High school, introduced Miss Mencke. Contributions to the Ameri can Field Service are more than welcome and can be giv en to Mrs. Frank Bash of the American Field Service com mittee in Medford. Miss Mencke said that although the trip abroad is paid by the AFS, the student must still meet all of his or her expenses abroad. Next week's speaker at the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce luncheon will be Lee Ragsdale, Medford schools physical education di rector, who will discuss the Medford Growth Program.
