What surprised my wife and
me most about Finland was that
it's so much like Minnesota" Mr..
Rowan started out. "The scenery
the trees and the lakeS-is very
much the same, and so is the at

saying the other day that it's al
most as If we had never left home,
Finland's weather is affected by
the Gulf Stream, so it is a little
nilder than the Minnesota weather
not as hot in the summer or as
cold in the winter. Everybody
thinks of Finland as very cold, but
actually the weather has been only
five or ten degrees colder than
New York, and I wore an overcoat
for the first time the day I left;
I brought it along in case might
have a chance to get back to Min
nesota. Also, Of course, there are
a lot of people of Finnish descent
in Minnesota. In fact, one of the
incest things that happened 10 us
before we left was being given a
big sendcff by several Thousand Of
them who live in the Virginia, Min
nesota, area. One of the most in
teresting things about the country
Is that the Firms themselves are
predominantly pro-Western. Some
times some of them don't want to
say so too luodly, because Russia
Is pretty big neNt-door neighbor,
but culturally, socially, in their be-
lief in freedom of speech and re-
hgton, and in the kind of society
they want to have, the Finnish
people are amazingly close to the
American people. And the Amer
ican cultural influence is remark
able. The same hit record that's
driving parents crazy here is like
ly to be No. 1 on the hit parade in
Finland, too, and John Wayne
Westerns - in fact, all American
movies - are tremendously popu-
lar. DR.. Casey and DR.. Kildare are
household idols. They appear on
televisfon with Finnish subtitles,
but many people understand Eng
lsh. The Firms have to be careful
about what they say in information
al affairs, of course, and they're
very careful about preserving their
neutrality and not offending Rus
sia, but the, Russian influence
among the people seems very
slight. Sometimes you would for
get that Russia is right next door,
except that people often mention
the Winter War, of 1939-40, when
Russia took Rarelia, the eastern
part of Finland. In the secondary
schools, a hundped and sixteen
