Finland

Finland (By William B. Dill.
lingham)-I had heard about
"co-ed' steam baths. but I never
actually saw one until / visited
Finland. The first time / enter
ed such a place l decided that
the bathers must be either very
progressive" or unaware of what
is going on in the outside world.
My introduction 10 the Finnish
steambath came when | met the
English professor of a village
high school. He was quite enthu-
siastic about meeting someone
who spoke English natively, so
was invited to stay at his home
and converse with his wife and
daughter, who were also students
OF English.
Before very long the question
of sauna" came up, The sauna
is the Finnish edition of about
ten steam baths rolled into one.
The professor told me that he
raises the temperature in his pri-
vate, backyard sauna to 2l2 de-
grees (the temperature of boiling
water, incidentally and then ev-
erybody strips off their clothes
and enters the heat chamber. Aft
er about fifteen or twenty min
utes in this tremendous heat, dur
ing which time the extremists
beat each other with leaved BRAN
ches, the party is then supposed
to go outside-completely in the
nude-and play around pushing
ore another into snow banks. If
there is a lake nearby. the SUI
preme JOY Ito a Finn is to jump
smack into the icy water for a
"bit of a SWIM" After that, the
party re-enters the heat chamber
for scrubbing. This entire pro-
cedure usually takes place at
highland for the simple reason
that there is some objection to
daytime frolicking in the snow
without ones clothes. although
nobody seems to mind how many
goods share the same steam bath
together.
When l heard the professors
plans for me, l decided it might
be interesting to defy medical
science for once in my life
We entered the sauna anti
room"-the professor, his wife,
and his 10 year old daughter (who

been peeled off of barber shop
