Description
Caption: Hail, Finland! BOTH SYMBOLIC and rare is the gift the Friends of Finland will present to Dr. Urho K. Kekkonen, president of Finland, at dinner in this honor at Cobo Hall Sunday evening. It's a nin-inch gold and silver replica of the "Spirit of Detroit" statue in the Civic Center, re-created by Marshall Fredericks, noted sculptor who made the original. Shown here by Mrs. Saima Anttila, committee chairman, it's the third replica made for distinguished persons. Former President Eisenhower and Mayor Miriani were the other recipients. (Dinner reservations may be made by phoning KE 5-6115 or KE 4-1812.).
