...Father Moon hopes to feed the world from the sea somday," Neil Salonen, president of the Unification Church in the U.S., once explained. Church members still entertain vague hopes of building a maritime academy in Gloucester, Aidan Barry, Boston director of the Unification Church, says. And Stephen Baker, a church advertising official, said in 1976 that Moon will make "fish into America's next Frank Perdue chicken...

...rest of Europe buzzed with rumors of war, Finland last week was concerned with beauty. Issue: a woman's right to compete in a beauty contest. Believing she had set a bad example, the Government-operated Teachers Training College at Heinola expelled curly, blonde, blue-eyed Student Sirkka Salonen, who was preparing to be a teacher of elementary school children and recently was chosen Miss Europe of 1938 by a jury in Copenhagen. Indignantly appealing to the Minister of Education to rebuke the college for its puritanism by reinstating Miss Salonen, Finland's press pointed...
