Also pictured is Carolyn's mother, Mrs. R. E. Mencke, who is the current presi dent of the local AFS committee. Miss Luh tala is to stay in the valley for about six weeks before flying home. land Saturday and was met by the Menckes. After slight sightseeing and viewing the Rose parade, the family left for Medford. Stay Six Weeks The visitor is expected to stay for about six weeks, then will return home by air. She does know a boy in Louisiana who stayed at their home under the AFS program sev eral years ago who she might also visit while in the United States. This is her first trip to this country. Marjo has two brothers, Pekka, who is 9 years old; and Antti-Juhani, who is 21 years old. Her father owns a factory in her home town, Kurikka, which manufactures childrens clothes and wo men's sports wear and coats. Upon her arrival here, Miss Luhtala presented her AFS "sister" with a national cos tume worn in Finland for the mid-summer night festival on the longest day of the year, June 20. Speaks of School At an interview Tuesday, the teen-ager spoke of her school and native country as well as her first impressions of this country. Perhaps most startling were her views on some American experiences. The visitor reported that upon arrival at Portland she found that the cross-country airline company had failed to transfer her baggage in Chi cago. After many hectic, worried hours the luggage ar rived in the Oregon metropo lis. In speaking of her schools, she said she took in school last year English, math, Fin nish, history, Swedish, Ger man, art, physical education, religion, biology, and physics. Although in her country they do not have a choice in their curriculum, she is placing pri mary emphasis on mathe matics. School System Basis The school system in Fin land, she reported, is based on four years of primary educa tion, and eight years of inter mediate or secondary educa tion which in itself is divided into five years, then three of high school or advanced ma terial. After the first four years the students take tests to qualify their future place ment. Miss Luhtala has still two years of schooling to complete. She added that the common age to graduate from high school is 19 and 20. The school that she is now attending is about 10 miles from her home, since she transferred from her native school in order to take more mathematics. The schools there, she advised, are co-educational, and students attend them six days per week. Although quite shy and re served at this time, she has token English for six years and seems to be ible to com mu.ncatc with Carolyn Men cke, at least, quite well. Information on Fashions The foreign student also offered Information concern ing fashion and dress styles in her home land. The teen-ager mentioned that when ever girls in Fin land wear dresses, they also must wear high heels. Al though the Finns use some Delicious Spanish Foods Now being served at the Rainbow Cafe 109 West Main Excellent Spanish Preparations, Including Tacos, Tostadas, Enchilados, Tamales & Spanish Dinners. Monday Through Thursday-1 1 A.M. to 10 P.M. Friday and Saturday Until 3:00 A.M. Closed Sundays ALSO SPANISH FOOD TO GO " ? French styles, most of the clothing is made in Finland itself. Fashion watchers say that fashions in the Scandi navian country are '.ay ahead of those in the U;S. Bermuda shorts and some American sportswear, however, is not made available to the Finns. Turning to extra-curricula activities, the girl expressed her interest in sports and said she enjoys swimming, tennis, boating, snow skiing, and skating. In her free time she also likes to paint. Business School Asked about the future, Marjo said that she would like to attend a business school. During her first few days here, she mentioned that she likes Oregon and ". . . can't believe that I'm here." In comparing the two countries, she remarked that there are not so many mountains in Fin land as there are here. She also indicated her interest in the highway arteries and the freeways on the Medford Portland route. While visiting here she hopes to see Crater lake Trees of Mystery, the Oregon coast, and will accompany the Menckes to San Francisco this summer. She noted several foods that were new or different to hor including potato chips, canta loupe, and milk shakes. Al though she has eaten ham burgers in Finland, she said that the American burger is much better. Life About Same Generally, summer life in the U.S. is about the same as in Finland, she added, al though it is much warmer here. The Finns do not do any barbequeing or outdoor cook ing, according to the Finn. The teen-ager also mention ed that the Americans eat more in the morning than the Finns do. She jus'.ified the statement by pointing out that Finns eat between meals more often. In reviewing her activities here and at home, she men tioned that she likes to travel quite a bit and transportation facilities in Finland and Europe as a whole make this practical. Miss Luhtala also said that her father plans tentatl-ely to visit the U.S. this fall and will perhaps visit the Menckes. Obituaries RAYMOND C.

The object, believed to be a galaxy or a pair of gal axies in collision, is so far away its light takes 6 billion years to reach the earth The find will probably be used to test current theories about the nature and origin of the universe. The object was photograph ed by Dr. Rudolph Minkow ski, a staff member of the Mt. Wilson and Palomar ob servatories, through the 200- inch Hale telescope at Palo mar. The telescope the world's largest optical instru ment. Dr. Minkowski announced his unprecedented observation at the Astronomical Society of the Pacific meeting here recently. Spectrum Shifted He not only photographed the object, he made two pho tographs of its spectrum. These photographs showed the spectrum had shifted much farther Into the red than anything obtained be fore. The normally invisible ultraviolet light appeared in the green. The shift indicates that the object is receding from the earth at 46 per cent the speed of light. This recession of 90, 000 miles a second is the fastest ever measured by far. Dr. Minkowski has been looking for an extremely dis tant object td help determine which of several theories about the universe is correct, if any Is. Major Theory One major theory says that matter is being generated continually throughout the universe. The other, which has served variations, says the universe began with a great explosion and Is continually expanding, its parts receding from its center.

CCrCEBo: bridge, England, discovered and roughly located a source of radio signals in the con stellation of Bootes. Dr. Min kowski was unable to locate the object until the source was located more precisely at Cambridge and at the Cali fornia Institute of Technology Radio observatory. The photograph of the ce lestial object required a two hour exposure. The object ap pears as a blurred dot on the photographic plate. But this blurred dot, if definitely es tablished as the same object as that radio source recorded in England and California, may prove a major test of current theories of the origin and present state of the uni verse.
