Newspaper Page TextSUNDAY, SEPTEMBER J, 19(2 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Kindness, Friendliness Impress Two Foreign Exchange Students in Medford In selecting thii year's ex change students for Medford High school, American Field service might well hve used a yardstick. In sending Jens Hasfeldt and Nikki Nik Yahya to Med ford, AFS has perhaps given Medford its tallest and smal lest of six years of exchange students. Jens Hasfeldt, from Lyng by, Denmark, rises to above six feet upon greeting his new American friends. Nik Azizah Binti Hail Nik Yahya, or "Nikki," is at the opposite ex t r e m e of "five-feet-even." Miss Nik Yahya is from Kota Bharu, Kclantan, Malaya. Both young people arrived in Mer'ford recently, and will enroll at Medford High School as seniors. Jens is living with the J. P. Rowans, 828 Minnesota ave. Nikki is residing with Dr. and Mrs. Robert Riechers, 2447 Hillcrest rd. While at MHS both stu dents will study American problems, and American lit erature. Jens, in addition, will take United States his tory and college algebra. He has also been selected for par ticipation as a irmber of the choir. Nikki, on the other hand, plans to study courses In drama, typing, cooking, and art. In Denmark, Jens attends Bagsward Boarding school in Lyngby. Study at that school centers on languages and rnath. He reported that like Medford High, the boarding school is coeducational. It is much smaller, however, with only 204 students in the gym nasium (high secondary) sec tor of the school. Nikki's school has more than 1,000 students enrolled. Although it is a girls' school, she smilingly explained that there Is a boys school next door. At Zainab Secondary school, Nikki said her courses were similar to her planned American study. She belonged to drama and debate clubs in Malaya. Kola Bharu is a town about Ihe same size as Medford. In Kelanlan, the state, Nikki ex plained that Ihe sultan is the chief ruler. The sultan is a member of the royal family line. Nikki went on to ex plain lhat her own family was a branch of Ihe royal family line of Malaya. " 1 Local and Personal OBITUARIES EXCHANGE STUDENTS CHAT Two teen agers, one from Malaya and the other from Denmark, arrived in Mcdfoid recently to spend a year here attending school and liv ing with American families under the auspices of the American Field service. The girl, Nik Azizah Binti Haji Nik Yahya from Kola Bharu, Malaya, is staying with Dr. and Mrs. Robert Riechers and family, 2447 Hillcrest rd., Medford. Jens Hasfeldt, from Lyngby, Denmark, Is living with the James P. Rowan family, 828 Minnesota ave., Medford. The students are considered a part of their American family and share in the benefits and responsibilities. They will en roll at Medford High school this month as seniors and will "graduate" with the Class of 1963. Although Lyngby seems smaller than Medford, Jens stated that according to popu lation the towns are about the same. It is mainly a "sleeping town" for the great er Copenhagen area of more than 1,000,000 people. Jens' father is director of a moving and exporting firm. Jens has one younger sister. Their family lives in a "con nected house," or a group of homes attached to one an other. Until recently Nikki only had two younger brothers. Their family has now adopted a six-year old orphan girl, and a six-year old Siamese boy, who is a rousin of the family. Nik Yahya, Nikki's father. Is Ihe custodian and caretakpn at Zainab Secon dary school. The family home in Malaya is a "separated house", and quite modern by both Amer ican and Malayan standards. Such things as televisions, vacuum cleaners, and wash ing machines, however, are "uich rarer in Malaya. When asked if food were different in America, both students agreed with Jens' Americanized answer "Yeah!" Jens finds the American lunch of sandwiches quite strange, and was flabergasted by "eggs all mixed up" (scram bled eggs). Nikki, even more so, found the food strange. The fruit was the only similar thing she had encountered. Meat is bought In the open market, and prepared with many spires In' Malaya. Fresh milk was new, as only Ihe con- THE WEEK IN CALIFORNIA Brush, Timber Fires Ravage Parts of State During Week By Unlttd Press Initrnational Brush and timber fires rav aged California last week from one end of the slate to the other. Two giant brush fires chaired 17.200 acres in south ern Californi-. In northern California, nearly 1.000 residents and va cationers fled a 10,000-acre forest "fire storm" that swept dangerously close to thickly populated Clear lake resorts. More fires broke out near Lake Shasta, in the Sierras of Mariposa county and at several other mountain spots. One southern California fire. In the Ncwhall-Placcrila Canyon area of Los A- cles county, burned the Gene Au try Ranch and forced evacua tion of the Olive View Sani torium. During the height of the fire, 700 patients were forced to leave. The other fire - In the Castatc-Hasley canyon region - came to with in 40 miles of downtown Los Angeles. It took 2,000 men to control the blazes. Homti Ara Destroyed Two ranches and several homes were destroyed by the wind-whipped Lake county fire, which lea pfroggeri through wooded areas of Cobb Mountain and quarter mile spurts along a nine-mile Ironl 80 miles northeast of San Francisco. Another 7,000-arre fire ran wild near Lake Shasta, caus ing $1 million damage to tim ber and watershed. The Mari prwsa county fire above Fres no burned more than fi.000 acres. Klsrwhrrp, there were these developments: Kroegan A San Francisco grandmother, who may have figured In the "arsenic and old lace" slayings of n elder ly Santa Rosa couple, was the object of a nationwide search. Mrs. Iva M. Kroegcr, 44, was wanted In connection with the double deaths of Jay Arneson. 70, and his divorced wife, Mildred, 58. Tehir bodies were found buried In the basement of Mrs. Krocger'a San Francisco home. Ralph Kroegcr, the sus pect's husband, was under custody but denied any im plications in the case. Police, acting on tips, search t d not only the San Francisco Ray Rraion. hut also Sacra menlo. Stockton and Los An feles tor the missing Mrs. Kroegcr, who with her hus band had met the Arnesons while living in Santa Rosa. Da Kaplany: A Hungarian refugee doctor brat and slashed his beautiful blond bride of five weeks with sur gical instruments, then threw acid over her nude boci;- be cause he thought she was un faithful. The wife, Mrs. Hajna De Kaplany, 25, a former show girl and model, suffered third degree acid burns over 60 per cent of her body and was in jured internally. Doctors doubted she would recover. The husband, Dr. Geza Dc Kaplany, ;16, told police he tied the hands and feet of his beautiful wife and attacked her after she. returned home to their swank San Jose apartment from San Francis- i co. "I did it to frighten her," he said, "to put fear into her for being an adultress. She's : not going to die. I Just want ed to lake her beauty away." Mrs. De Kaplany, also a Hun- arian refugee, denied she had been unfaithful, Byrne: Slate Sen. Paul Byrne, 52, a 10-year veteran of the upper house, died un expectedly while at work in his downtown Chiro business office. The Chtco Republican suffered a sudden and acute heart attack. Byrne was born in San Dirgo but had lived in Butte county since child hood. He was elected from the fith district in 1950, re elected in IBM, and 1158, and had won Hie June primary nomination on both Demo cratic and r(ppubli("n tickets. Democrats: California Dem ocrats, bolstered by a per sonal message from President Kennedy ntid armed with a platform promising no new taxes in the next four years, emerged from a Democratic Slate Central Committee meeting in Sacramcmo ready to face the Nov. 6 general election campaign. The meeting, however, did end in a major split over a resolution denouncing mem bers o( the John Birch So ciety and the Communist par ty and asking t tin t ttiey be expelled from the party. The Democrats adjourned without acting on the resolution. Gov ernor Edmund G. Riown led off the convention with a pledge to propose a state In mine tax cut (or Rtn.onn Call fornians. Brigqi: The California Su preme Court reversed the con. viction of John R. Rncss, 42. wealthy Pacific Palisades property owner, who was ac cused of attempting to mur der his wife and mother-in-law by plunging (hem in an auto over a cliff. The Su preme Court, in a unanimous ruling, said the trial court acted prejudicially by ad mitting the testimony of police officers about an alleged con versation at the scene of the incident In 195B. He hai. been sentenced to 1 to 20 years. densed variety Is available in Malaya. Ice cream is five to six dollars a box. Kindness and friendliness of Americans seemed to im press both students upon their arrival in the United Stater. Jens found Medford "very clean and beautiful." When Nikki arrived at 5 a.m., she thought Medford was small, but now realizes that it is much bigger. In spending their time dur ing the last part of the sum mer, both students have vis ited Crater Lake. Jens is now at Howard Prairie lake, per suing his new sport of water skiing. Nikki has learned In swim and ride horseback since ar rival. While at home dancing and gardening occupy her extra time. Sports and Boy Scouts oc cupy Jens while he is at home. Upon returning to Denmark, he has two more years at Bagsward. Then he hopes to go on to the "Kunstakade mick," school of fine arts, to become an architect, This will take five or six years of study, plus a year of appren ticeship. Nikki has completed her seniors at home, and may go on to Form Six, another level of schooling. Her fiance is studying at the University of Malaya presently. If he re ceives a scholarship to go to England, she will study do mestic sciences there. Jim Rowan, who will be a Junior at MHS, and Peggy Riechers, a senior, will be the AFS brother and sister to the two students this year.
