In all there are five ways to heat a detached house in Karjalohja.
Dipl.ins. Jussi Syvähuoko has developed heating methods in his house, which can be used to use the cheapest “fuel” at any given time.
Wood, coke, electricity and oil are alternatively needed for central heating in a Syvähuoko house.
Syvähuoko, 68, has lived in Karjalohja since 1957. In this case, he acquired a house built in the 1920s. The interior of the house, the technical equipment and partly also the appearance have changed as Syvähuoko develops new ideas.
Some years ago he began to erect a wing building. This part became round. And this apartment can be heated by the sun.
“Now that the energy crisis came, it forces us to think about things from a different point of view than before. The placement of the building becomes important. Now the houses are placed according to the site plan. Maybe they could be artificially protected from the cold even in the urban milieu,” says Syvähuoko.
When oil is not enough: Blankets and felt slippers provide the best warmth
Finns the longing for heat has livened up trading in the normally quiet January.
A record-breaking crowd is crowding inside stores that sell bedding. Thick cotton blankets are the most in demand, but when they run out, wool blankets and artificial cotton batting also quickly disappear from the blanket seller's hands.
The energy crisis has brought a large number of new success articles. Insulators, window seals, felt slippers and warm nightgowns sell best at the moment. – –
The people of Kuopio have abandoned their thin felt blankets or felts and are buying more and more thick jackets for their tarjeta at night in their cool apartments.
The regional electricity company Savon Voima closely monitors that no additional radiators are installed in electrified houses.
Footwear stores say that the people of Kuopio have never had a greater need to buy warm home slippers than before.
Private thinkers from Kuopio, on the other hand, curse the temperature drops in apartments. “I'd rather have the streets dark and a driving ban for cars.”
Some have begun frantically looking for detached houses that even have a fireplace.
Finnair is investigating the profitability of the Tallinn route
with Finnair there would obviously be good opportunities to open a route to Tallinn in the near future.
A study on traffic demand and profitability is urgently being carried out, based on which a decision on the new route can be expected next summer at the earliest.
According to the information provided by the Soviet tourism authorities, the traffic would be necessary especially during the winter, when there is no ship traffic from Finland to Tallinn.
Johannes Virolainen: We prepare for unemployment
“Tariff rise,” says Johannes Virolainen, “that's for sure.”
There is still no certainty about much else. However, the government is already preparing for employment difficulties in the fall. The Estonian flashes e.g. shortening the period of validity of the Investment Tax Act.
All the estimates made on the development of this year's trade balance are tied around fuels.
Finance Minister Johannes Virolainen promised that the government is prepared for measures to secure employment already in the fall if needed. For example, the investment tax act in the construction industry can be terminated earlier than stipulated, he said.
Although the price development of Finland's main export products on the international market was relatively good last year, Virolainen does not think that this will be able to cover the entire shortfall.
Energy must therefore be saved, and if the “good will” so far continues, it will help us all in a significant way, says Virolainen.
Häme's old castle restored in 1977
To hell with in the restoration works of the main castle of the old castle, the final completion schedule of the work has now been officially mentioned for the first time. According to it, the castle would be in good condition in all respects in 1977.
An important year for Häme and Hämeenlinna was presented at the crest-raising party held in the main castle in complete silence.
The chairman of Linna's advisory board, prof. Lars Pettersson (left) and industrial advisor Sulo Lonka examine the brand new castle guestbook. The crest-raising ceremony was held in the magnificent royal hall.
Participants for snacks, sandwiches and coffee were, among others, Director General of the Museum Agency Carl-Jakob Gardberg, chairman of the castle's advisory board prof. Lars Pettersson, former lord of Häme Jorma Tuominen, industrial councilor Sulo Lonka from the construction company Kummila renovating the castle, and a long table of museum and construction workers.
France rejects the Hague verdicts
UN, New York (Reuter)
France no longer recognizes the unconditional jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice in The Hague, reports the UN's legal office.
France declared in 1966 that it recognized the court's absolute jurisdiction.
The announcement of the end of recognition came last week.
UN legal experts said the French decision would not affect any pending cases – such as the one brought by Australia over France's nuclear tests in the Pacific.
The Soviet Union celebrated Lenin
Moscow (UPI–Reuter)
Soviet Union on Monday, the leadership, together with millions of Soviets, paid their respects to the founder of the Soviet state, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, on the 50th anniversary of his death.
Communist Party General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev, Prime Minister Alexei Kosygin and President Nikolai Podgornyi led dignitaries who laid a wreath at Lenin's mausoleum on Red Square, Tass news agency reported.
Monday marked the 50th anniversary of the death of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, the leader of the October Revolution and the founder of the Soviet state. Millions of Soviet allies participated in the celebration.
Vanities disappearing from American stores
To all women an American accustomed to abundance has to notice that goods are becoming rarer on store shelves, that the bank serves less and that advertising leaflets become more modest.
According to information compiled by Business Week published in the United States, American marketing thinking is turning upside down under the pressure of the oil crisis and raw material price increases.
Large companies severely prune their product selections and try to get the most out of scarce raw materials.
Profit maximization has once again become a buzzword in the United States. Companies of all sizes and operating in all sectors are evaluating their product range and examining their manufacturing methods. The aim is to get the greatest possible benefit out of scarce raw materials and energy. – –
In Finland, there is no clear reduction in the product range as across the ocean. As a small country, Finland has already had to think about what is needed and what is unnecessary even before the oil crisis.
Pele stays away
Sao Paulo (UPI)
When the Brazilian national soccer team marches in Frankfurt on July 13 for the opening match of the World Cup, the world-class soccer player Pele will not be seen on the field.
Persistent attempts by Brazil's sports leaders to get Pele back into the national team have failed.
Some time ago it was reported that Pele would have softened his strong position a little. But no, Pele only stated briefly: “I still stand by my decision. I don't play in the national team anymore.”
After the World Cup in Mexico, Pele announced that it would be his last. His last appearance for Brazil was against Yugoslavia on 13 July 1971.
Unknown plastic ski France's secret weapon
Juha Miedon won Reit im Winkli's 15 km skiing brought additional nuances to the tightened international ski brand competition.
The excellently successful French (third and fifth place) had new plastic skis, the brand of which the Finns had no idea. The unique lubrication style of the French was also surprising.
“The guys put a little bit of cream in the middle of the bottom of the ski. The side, tip and stern parts of the bottom were left bare. The ski brand was quite strange,” said Juha Mieto, who returned from a victorious trip.
The Reit im Winkli competition will certainly cause further debate about the advantages and disadvantages of plastic skiing and traditional wooden skiing.
The French decision silenced European currency exchanges
Geneva (Lauri Karen)
French the actual devaluation of the franc, the first victim demanded by the new oil prices, varied between 4 and 6 percent on Monday, as the shock wave caused by Saturday's floating decision was still traveling around the world.
The fear of a currency revolution kept numerous currency exchanges closed on Monday.
Along with Frankfurt, Brussels, Amsterdam, Luxembourg and the Nordic stock exchanges, such a decision also affected Tokyo.
The floating of the French franc was hastily illustrated in the same way as the British pound and the Italian lira once were: Banknotes were floated in a fountain, this time at the Place de la Concorde in Paris.
When France has been the world's most stubborn theorist of fixed exchange rates, its complete reversal of the sledge will cause consequences that are much wider than the international commercial and financial significance of the French franc.
France's sudden policy change is all the more symptomatic as it deals a perhaps murderous blow to the economic and monetary union goals of the European Economic Community.
