No Finnish Visa Required
For Olympics Visitors
SEATTLE — Travelers to the
Olympic Games in Finland this
summer will not need visas. All
they’ll need will be American
passports—obtainable through lo
cal government offices.
“Finland has eliminated the
visa requirement from June 1 to
August 31. This more than covers
the period of the games, from
July 1 to August 3,” says Harry
Jarvinen, general manager of Fin
landia Tours of Seattle.
Those who plan to attend the
games in Helsinki should lose no
time making arrangements, how
ever, Jarvinen warned.
“We have just been advised that
unsold tickets for admission • to
the games must be returned to
Europe on April 1,” he added.
Contempt is the feeling you
have for folks who feel that way
about you.

The University of Washington Fisheries Research Institute, financed by the Alaska
salmon industry, again will start its annual tagging of salmon in Territorial waters
this summer. This is an important part of the Research Institute s program.
Through this process, the University’s Institute is able to study the habits of the
Alaska salmon and thus help perpetuate salmon runs.
Because »he salmon Industry is the backbone of Alaska’s economy, these studies
are important to every person in Alaska.
The industry, since 1946, has allocated more than a million dollars to finance these
studies. The University’s Institute is an entirely independent, scientific research
organization. Dr. William F. Thompson, who has won an international reputation
for his studies of the halibut and Fraser River sockeye, directs the Institute. This research
program complements studies being made by the Fish and Wildlife Service.
