HS 50 years ago 16.6.1974 | The sun shone at Princess Christina’s wedding

Stockholm (Kari Kallio)

Princess Christina and manager Tord Magnuson was married on Saturday in the Stockholm Castle Church.

Unfortunately for the monarchists and protocol, there was really nothing left of the traditional princess wedding but the princess herself.

She kept her head supported by her fiancé until the end, the wedding was basically “like any Swedish wedding.”

After a simple church ceremony and a wedding photo, the newlyweds, followed by their nearest and dearest guests, moved in a procession to a steamship that took them to eat and dance at Drottningholm Castle.

Hair vacation can be curly

Anna-Liisa Wiikeri

Finnish a woman’s hair doesn’t make hairdressers very happy, at least not after a long winter when it’s been stuffed inside tight hats for months.

Now that you could let your hair be free because of the weather, why don’t you try to put a hat on women’s heads.

Even hair should be allowed to rest sometimes. It’s worth trying to change your hairstyle just for the sake of your hair’s well-being. Summer hair can be different from winter hair, it could gather strength for winter trials.

The president opened the doors of Pelimannitalo

Caustic (HS)

Pelimannitalo and the only folk music institute in our country has been erected in Kaustinen in the middle of the village on a high hillock like a church.

After difficulties with building permits, Kaustinen finally celebrated the inauguration of the house on Saturday. – –

When Kaustinen’s pelimanni played the wedding march and President Urho Kekkonen arrived at the inauguration party, the people of Central Pohja were already standing in good order in front of their benches. The president used the key to open the double door of the gambling house. He followed the celebrations as a patron of Kaustinen’s pelimannitalo and the inauguration party of the institute.

The Kaustinen pelimannitalo institute has been built as a center for folk music recording, education, research and information activities.

Mass action threatens to destabilize folk music

“Folk music there is a danger of mass action and being overly marketed,” said Viljo S. Määttälä, chairman of the board of the Kaustinen folk music festival, on Saturday at the inauguration of the Kaustinen Pelimannitalo and folk music institute.

“When three or four nationally advertised events dedicated to folk music or folk dance are organized during the same weekend, we have come to a situation where our operational resources and the audience’s receptiveness are reaching their upper limit,” Määttälä warned.

The decoration of Tampere which became the petrification of Tampere

Riitta Anttikoski

Seemingly Tirkkonen’s house stands stable, with piles reaching into the bedrock, in Tampere, at the corner of Kauppakatu and Kuninkaankatu. However, the house is “weak”. With this knowledge, its stay in Tampere’s streetscape is secured until August.

When Maria Tirkkonen, the powerhouse of Tirkkonen’s trading house, built her commercial and residential palace at the turn of the century, connoisseurs of architecture at the time estimated that the house would be a beautification of the region and a sample of Lars Sonck’s personal way of thinking.

Even today, experts in construction art consider the house to be one of the most valuable everyday buildings in the city.

But the current owner of the house has a different opinion. In the owner’s opinion, the house is architecturally less valuable, at least not worthy of protection. And the views of the owner are also followed by the Tampere city government in its position expressed to the county government.

“Agricultural tourism would be cheap for vacationers and would cheer up remote villages”

Mikkeli (HS)

In preparation in the existing farm legislation, farm tourism must be placed both financially and fiscally on an equal footing with other side industries of the farm economy.

This is required in the action recommendations of the study commissioned by the municipality of Puumala and financed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.

As a counterweight, good service capacity for the needs of public tourism is promised at a low price, as well as injecting vitality to entire remote villages.

The ear fungus thrives best in a spruce tree

Jyväskylä (Maire Vaajakallio)

Forester Esko Jalkanen, who has been studying the cultivation of ear fungus and its growth conditions for a long time, says that this spring it was confirmed that it is better to look for ear fungus in a moss-free spruce.

Jalkanen now gets 40-50 kilos of ear mushrooms per hectare from his own experimental farms on the borders of Lievestuore and Hankasalmi. Anyone can grow ear mushrooms. – –

This spring, the ear fungus lover has perhaps explored his old familiar landscapes in vain, where the ear fungus thrived in slightly wetter springs. According to Forester Jalkanen, it is now wisest to look for ear mushrooms in the spruce forest. – –

In his research, Jalkanen has concluded that ear fungus is “shaven to dry cloths” because it avoids other fungi. It doesn’t thrive where other fungi are the dominant species. It thrives where the pressure from other fungi is not so strong; that is why it is most often found and its only place of growth is assumed to be dry pine forest. – –

Already in the fall, you can guess how the area will produce in the spring. At the same time, a dwarf sheep appears in the area. Jalkanen considers that to be the symbol of the six, where the ear fungus rises. Other signs are not many sparrows and grass, but soft sinking moss.

One sign is an anthill. There are ear fungus near it. The connection between the presence of ants and ear fungus in the same area has not yet been investigated, but possibly the ants irritate the fungal mycelium.

Iki-Kianto got a museum in Suomussalmi

Oulu (HS)

Ilmari Iki-Kiannon the scope of the production surprised the museum’s founders. “Even though I’ve known about it and researched it, I’m still amazed,” said teacher Martti Manner when he opened the Kianto museum on Saturday in Suomussalmi.

The museum, located in Oilola, Ämmänsaari, has samples of Kianto’s production donated by Kustannusosakeyhtiö Otava, as well as objects that belonged to the author, e.g. a black student cap from the years of oppression. Arranged in chronological order, the works range from early romantic productions to later depictions of society. – –

The museum building is one of Suomussalmi’s old large buildings. Before 1939, there were only three houses in Ämmänsaari, the Border Guard, the so-called Hiltunen cottage and Oilola.

While living in Turjanlinna, Kianto was in close contact with the residents of Oilola. He called the house Haukkuranna and the lady of the house Haukkuranna moor.

The museum railway association got an old locomotive

Mikkeli (HS)

Horn music and accompanied by lofty speeches, the old log locomotive moved from Ristiina’s Honkataipale to the group of monuments cherished by Museorautatie Forssa–Humppila ry.

In 1971, the steam locomotive, which had been chugging along its five-kilometer stretch of track for more than 60 years, was already allowed to move to a siding to make way for newer equipment.

However, the association assures that it still considers the locomotive usable. Let’s refer to the possibilities of connecting the track sometime in the future with package tours in the Saimaa region.

English newspapers: The UEFA scandal is a shame for the whole country

London (Reuters)

Tottenham the hollering of the soccer team’s supporters in the UEFA Cup final in Rotterdam hastens to tighten discipline in the English soccer stands.

Labor MP Tom Torney demanded in the lower house of parliament that the government intervene in the situation, so that the clubs Finally eradicate hooliganism among their supporters.

In Torney’s opinion, the behavior of Tottenham supporters was a shame not only for English football but also for the whole country.

The English spectators did not digest the victory of the Dutch Feyenoord, but attacked the Dutch in the stands.

During the general chaos, the English broke the seats in the stadium and continued their destruction even outside the stadium.

Dutch police arrest 70 of Tottenham’s hottest supporters. Around 40 spectators had to be taken to the hospital after the riot. In total, nearly 200 people were injured.
