He lived for 79 hours under an avalanche of snow and crushed buildings at the devastated Granduc mining camp in northwest British Columbia. A Finnish construction worker in his 30s, Myllyla is one of 130 miners who survived Thursday's giant slide off Le Duc Glacier near the Canadian-Alaska border. He was pulled from the ruins of a bunkhouse by rescuers Sunday afternoon, then hospitalized at Ketchikan. He was reported partly frozen and in serious condition. Searchers continued to probe acres of ice and snow on the precarious mountainside for more men.

So far 14 bodies have been recovered. At least 13 are missing. Workers Hampered Continuing heavy snowfall, slides hampered tired rescue darkness a and threat" of more crews. The finding of Myllyla renewed hopes that still more might be found alive. Rescuers used hand tools, afraid heavy equipment trigger another slide as they continued sifting through the devastation around the clock.

Several other miners were dug out alive earlier from under the tons of ice, snow and debris saved only by pockets of air rescued with them. About 40 were buried Thursday from a tunnel where the miners were boring under the glacier for Granduc's low-grade copper ore.

A Japan of hard-working peo-1 ple and tremendous courage and a willingness to work was described for members of Delta Kappa Gamma on Saturday afternoon. Miss Mina Trezona traveled throughout Japan last October. Japan, she said, was completely crushed at the end of the war, but American money kept them from starving, and all is completely rebuilt now. Women work with men on construction and street cleaning as well as in the 7 million acres rice fields. Stooped From Work "The people are stooped from working in the rice fields.

They are a friendly people and polite to everyone. 'Thank you very much' are the most important words in their language." Miss Trezona said she didn't see one neglected child. "They were all So clean and well The Japanese people want to excel, Miss Trezona said. Their BrazilStudents Enjoy VisitsNot The Cold! Seven young Brazilian graduate students, all student leaders in their universities, had their one home stay during month's visit to this country this a weekend in Freeport. They are guests of our State Department.

Their interpreters told Mrs. Gerald Kutz, who arranged the visit, that living with American families in a small city was the high spot of their travelsbut they did not like the cold! All seven and their two guideinterpreters arrived Thursday evening by train and left by train this morning. Mrs. Kutz, who heads the International Fellowship Committee here, said that the guest her family entertained is a sports fan so they took him bowling, his first time. One of the guests was a doctor and spent much of his time with Dr.

Jaime Ballesteros, getting a view of medical practice here. Two were engineers and were guests of Glenn Schwendiman at an engineering banquet held at the Country Club. The Arthur Cordes family took one guest to the concert of the Freeport High School Band Saturday night.

YWCA News 'Georgie's Jump' Sixty-five high school students attended "Georgie's Jump," a dance put on by the So-Hi Club on Saturday evening at the YW in honor of George Washington's Birthday.

American eagles and silhouettes of the First President completed the setting.

Near the refreshment table, there was a sign reading "Gorge with George." Red, white and blue napkins were used on the table covered with a white lace cloth.

A Nation Of Readers They are avid readers and 99.8 per cent literate.

Education is compulsory and the educational system is patterned after that of the United States. Though they have adopted Western culture, they keep their own too. Miss Trezona praises their marvelous flower arrangements, and although the homes are small, with no lawns, flowers are everywhere. In October salvia, cosmos and marigolds were everywhere. While in Tokyo, Miss Trezona stayed at the Imperial Hotel, which was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

This hotel will soon be torn down to make way for a more modern building. Long For Peace The Japanese people, she concluded, have a deep longing for peace. Two interesting precepts which they follow are: "Life is like a long journey with a heavy load" and "Find fault with yourself and not with others." Thirty-six members attended the dessert meeting in the social room of the Freeport Public Library. The green-covered table was centered with a green topiary tree accented with red cherries. In keeping with the season, cherry tarts, nuts, mints and coffee were served.

Hostesses were Mrs. Sam Shelley, Miss Rosalee Rockman and Miss Marjorie Piggott. Miss Edith Rosenstiel, ant county superintendent and a member of Pi Chapter, Jo Daviess County, was a special guest. Moon's First Visitor Best Walk Softly By DAVE SMITH PASADENA, Calif. (AP) The first man on the moon should walk softly and carry a big stick.

So says the head of a scientific team studying more than 000 pictures beamed to earth early Saturday in the final 23 minutes before the Ranger 8 spacecraft crashed into the face of the moon. Dr. Gerard Kuiper chief of the five-man analysis team, said the photographic bonanza indicates the lunar surface may be a froth of dust and fragile lava that might hide dangerous tunnels and caverns. "This could be tricky and treacherous stuff," said Kuiper, University of Arizona. "Many parts of the moon might be hard enough to support considerable weight, but an explorer could not assume that he would be safe everywhere.

Should Carry Poles "It' may be that the first astronauts would be wise to carry long poles to probe the surface ahead of them to be sure it would hold their weight." As with the 4,316 photos relayed last July 31 by Ranger 7, the five men disagreed about what the new, high-quality photos showed, but agreed that they were surprised. The insect-shaped Ranger 8's six television cameras returned sharp close-ups of lunar mountains and plains in the final minutes of its death plunge into the flat, broad, dusty Sea of Tranquillity, 15 miles from its original target. Its impact point was 1,000 miles east of where Ranger 7 crashed in the Mare Cognitum. Kuiper said he saw evidence that much of the moon's surface is covered with three to six feet of loose, lava-like material, similar to tunnel-coursed, cavern-marked lava areas on Hawaii. He surmised that the material is volcanic overflow, a thin crust of solidified foam.

Could Support Weight But Ewen A. Whitaker, Kuiper's associate at Arizona, said he felt the surface which he also believes is foamy lava would hold the weight of softlanding manned spacecraft. Dr. Harold Urey of the University of California at La Jolla said the lunar surface may be blanketed by 50 to 60 feet of dust. Several craters of that depth, he said, showed at their bottoms a "whitish button" which may be the moon's solid core beneath the dust.

Dr. Eugene Shoemaker, another team member, said he doesn't believe pictures can reveal the surface's strength but added that the photos did show the surfaces of the seas where Rangers 7 and 8 crashed to be "substantially the The team will continue studying the giant photographic harvest for months well beyond the scheduled launching of Ranger 9 in mid-March.
