The grass is always greener . . . The next time you get miffed when Pad insiats on a ten-o'clock curfew ... or whan Johnny takes you to the local bistro instead of to that fancy restaurant you have you heart at on ... or when Mom has leg of lamb instead of your favorite steak think about young people in other lauds. It will make your own lot seem like heaven. Take Kaarina Vanninen . . . The 20 - year - old blue-eyed, blonde Finnish girl, preparing to take off for her native land after three years in America, says that what she'll miss most is the won derful freedom that teen-agers have in America. Says she: "Life will be different when 1 get back home. 1 will not be able to date without my tamily's per mission, and then they will want to know who he ia, what he does, Kaarina Vanninea anil what his intentions are be fore I can see him. If I decide to get married. I will need the per mission of the President of Fin land as well as my mother's." Kaarina's father was killed in the Russo-Finmsh war and her life was a series of refuge camps via cattle cars after the Russians were ceded her home. She was brought here by the Girl Scouts of Middlelown, Ohio, sponsored through the Save the Children Fed eration. She is crazy about the casual life here ? thinks American boys are wonderful ? so nice and po lite to girls ? so eager to "wait on them" ? and such lovely gen tlemen. Says she: "In my country boys do not learn to do that very much. But I hear they are trying to mak* them more like that in the schools, teaching them manners just like American boys. It probably will be a little while before they catch on. By that time I will be settled down, maybe." Kaarina will miss many things, she says ? things we take for granted pretty clothes, shiny tars, gay people, big buildings, sugary food, Sunday roast chicken. And, oh yes, she'd Jike to take home buckets and buckets of cooked carrots and peas! She ex plains: "We have vegetables back home, but not like yours. We eat them raw. Here you cook vegetables so that I will never forget." She'll miss American sports but is looking forward to swim ming in some of the thousands of Finnish Lakes. She has a master diploma in swimming as well as trophies for cross-country skiing. Kaarina was a model high school student, completing her three-year accelerated course with high grades. She made "A"s most of the time at Monroe H. S. in Middletown. sometimes studying until 2 or 3 o'clock in the moraing. She even won an essay contest for a paper on Finland.
