teii Exchange Students
Give impressions of Life in II.S.
Three foreign exchange
students completing the cur
rent srhool year under the
auspicie ol the American
Field service, related their
complex impressions of Amer
ican life at a regional AFS
dinner held Saturday even
ing at the Jackson hotel.
The speakers included Eva
Maria Trimmel, an Austrian
student residing in Grants
Pass; Therese Inglin, Geneva,
Switzerland, who is staying
with the Richard Finch fam
ily, Medford; and Reinhart
Kostlin, a student from Lud
wigsburg, Germany, current
ly staying with the P. G. Hum
phreys family, also of Med
ford. Eva Maria told an audience
of nearly 75 that she felt that
the most interesting part of
the entire AFS trip was meet
ing people. She went on to
explain that in her country,
Austria, there is so much
propaganda that the false im
pression of the American is
often told.
"Typical" American
The European characterized
the "typical" American as a
boy wearing nothing but blue
jeans and tee-shirts, and the
average girl "wearing too, too
much lip stick."
The speaker Indicated that
she enjoyed the '"true" im
pression of the American bet
ter than the "false impressions."
In reviewing her school
year, Eva Maria selected
American history and social
economics as her two favorite
subjects.
. "In socinl economics," she
pointed out, "I have enjoyed
studying about racial prob
lems, and I have learned a
great deal about Americans."
Dating Customs.
To an amused audience, the
Austrian told of the dating
customs in her own country.
She explained, when attend
ing a ball, the girl is always
accompanied by her mother
. . . and never is allowed to
go alone. Once at the dance
the mother-daughter combina
tion anxiously, but shyly,
await an invitation for danc
ing from one of the boys.
Climaxing the incident, the
boy asks the mother if he may
dance with the girl.
Even though her native
customs were "all right," she
added, "I like your ways of
dating!"
In reviewing her American
visit Therese Inglin, referred
to an American Field service
publication given her entitled
"Through the Year" by Ste
phen Galatti, AFS director
general, New York.

eral background of informa

how to "fit in" in America,
some American customs, and
"United States schools and
YOU" are included.
She described her American
family as the "most wonder
ful" and admitted that she
hated to leave her "sisters,"
Carolyn and Chrisy Finch.
In school, Therese acknowl
edged U. S. History and Eng
lish as her two favorite class
es. She explained that Eur
opean history was merely a
series of battles and wars:
however, American history
was the development of a
country. She said she prefer
red the latter.
Her interest in music and
art was also dislosed. As an
active member of the Med
ford High school choir, The
rese expressed her enjoyment
in participating in the group
contests and tours as well as
playing in the three-night
choir production of "Okla
homa:" last month.
In summary, Therese prais
ed the art program at the
local high school.
The exchange student con
fessed that she had met so
many people, and remember
ed so few names, except that
they were al! American.
German Student
Reinhart Kostlin, German
student expressed his ideas on
an entirely different Amer
ican scene athletics.
As a member of the Med
ford Black Tornado football
team, and through participa
tion in the local physical edu
cation program, Reinhart vol
unteered his appraisal of the
United States.
He first told of his own
country's ideas of American
sports. Chiefly, his neighbors
question the sanity of "those
crazy Americans who kick,
throw, and hit footballs, bas
ketballs, and baseballs, only
to have to chase after them."
After the German's eight
month visit he described his
own conception of American
sports as the only true evalua
tion and picture of America.
He noted that he has learned
"so much" about America,
just through athletics.
Outside of school Reinhart
did quite a bit of fishing and
skiing.
Also an artist, the teen
ager maintained that "basic
American philosophy" could
be and is contained in art,
Compares Schools
Turning to a comparison of
German - American schools,
Reinhart said that only about
20 per cent of his age group
go to high school. After com
pletion of the tent!; grade,
he added, most students be
gin work or education in vo
cational or technolog ical
fields.
He mentioned he went to
school eleven months a year,
rather than the American
nine-month system. However,
he continued, they have more
vacations during the school
year.
Speaking before an audi
ence which included high
school and school district of
ficials, Reinhart said that at
his school, if the principal
feels that the temperature is
quite warm, he will dismiss
school for that day. He charg
ed that it was warmer in this
area than in his home town.
In brief, he confirmed that
there were more cars and
school activities here than in
Germany, but went on to say
that he enjoyed participating
in a discussion group and
scouting activities in his
school and city.
Mrs. H. D. Chrislensen, reg
ional chairman, also asked
Medford High school student,
Carolyn Mencke, to comment
on her trip to Finland last
summer for the AFS.
Without detailing her trip,
Miss Mencke upheld that the
most important part of her
experiences was to share these
events with local residents. In
all she has spoken approx
imately 40 times to schools,
clubs, and organizations since
her return home in Septem
ber. Reading a letter from an
acquaintance in Finland,
Carolyn mentioned the fact
that she had sent him a sub
scription to "United States
News and World Report."
The friend had written
about his interest in Amer
ican politics and economics as
reported in the news maga
zine. He had, the letter in
dicated, learned a new Amer
ican word: "payola."
News of Finland
Other remarks by the Finn
were keyed around his coun
try's pro-western relationship
next to the Soviet Union, and
the fact that Finland has a
99 per cent literacy rate
the highest in the world.
Caroyln also reported that
her "Finish sister" is to visit
the Mencke family here in
Medford sometime this spring.
It is hoped that she will be
here for the high school grad
uation exercises.
Mrs. Paul Stubbles and
Mrs. Walter Holm introduced
the AFS delegates from Cres
cent City, Calif., and Grants
Pass, Ore., respectfully.
At the conclusion of the
meeting, Mrs. Christensen sug
gested that the exchange stu
dents, as well as the old and
new "foster families" join in
groups following the dinner
meeting in order to learn
more about the AFS programs.

New York -IP1- To Wall
Street the biggest issue in the
Presidential campaign is
spending - whether the mar
ket place or congress will de
termine how Americans are
going to spend their money.
No matter how the election
goes, (this question won't be
answered in black and white
terms) it cuts across both
parlies. However, the manner
in which some of the Demo
cratic party hopefuls have
shown growing interest in
supporting proposals to pro
vide government health insur
ance for the aged puts the
Democrats a bit more on
record than the Republicans.
Must Save More
Chairman William McC.
Martin of the federal reserve
board warned recently that
we must save more and invest
more if we are to meet the
great challenge now being
posed to our rank as the
word's most productive na
tion. The position of those who
distrust leaving to the market
place the determination of
how Americans shall spend all
their money is precisely that
this would not lead to more
saving rnd investment.
They contend that there are
at least as many fools and
scoundrels in the market
place as in government. They
say tne market place enuces
us as a nation to fritter away
too much money on consumer
goods, often produced with
"planned obsolesence" to in
crease the profits of their
makers and the consequent
drain on the economy. This,
they claim, destroys savings
and prevents investment in
basic industry and necessary
services.
The National Association of
Manufacturers (NAM), which
is wholeheartedly in favor of
letting the market place shape
the progress and dimensions
of the economy, recently pro
duced a booklet analyzing the
1961 federal budget and vig
orously condemning many
proposed federal expendi
tures. Mora Benefit Seen
Here is what the N.A.M.
booklet has to say about this
issue of congress vs. the mar
ket place: I
mere are some wno nuiu
that Increased public spend
ing of the people's income
would be more beneficial than
the spending of that money by
the people themselves ... ine
idea appears to be that the
government would spend only
on , worthwhile tnings, wniie
the people, if left on their
own would spend too much
foolishly. This would amount
to substituting bureaucatic
judgement regarding worth
while or foolish tnings ior
that of the market place.
'The free market is mar-
velously s e 1 e c 1 1 v e, the
N.A.M. study continued.
It constantly establishes
and changes priorities where
by resources are channeled
into the most productive uses.
No business can last long if its
owner or manager ignores this
sensitive selectivity . . . the
most consistent and ample
economic progress win oe
made by leaving the market
free to set those priorities
which will mean the most ef
ficient use of resources.
Undoubtedly that is good
economic doctrine as far as
it goes. But it leaves some
ouestions unanswered. For
example, how did the Soviet
Union, which has no free mar
ket place, manage to survive
its first 40 years, much less
to expand and seriously chal
lenge the economic suprem
acy of the United Stales?
Interested for Spending Sake
And why has the mar
velous selectivity of the mar
ket place permitted panics,
recessions, depressions and
such phenomena as under-ed-ucation
and inadequate health
facilities to continue to exist
in the Western world?
The N.A.M. then proceeds.
as do many evonoim.st. bank
ers, businessmen and .poli
ticians, to contend that those
who want to use the taxing
power to "beef up the public
sector of the money" are sim
ply interested in spending for
its own sake - in "the infla
tionary aggrandizement of the
stale."
This is the seventh Presi-
dcnital campaign in wine!',
til is question of government
spending vs. the market place
has been an issue.
This year il assumes a new
dimension because a nation
that rejects the market place
utterly and is grow ing rapidly
is challenging us as an eco
nomic as well as a political
and social rival.
