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

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.

On Photo Plate
Eugene-(Science Service)
An astronomer has photo
graphed the most distant,
identifiable celestial object
ever captured by photogra
phy. 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.
The quest for the object
now photographed began aft
