Titanic was printed in the column People, by Howard Reid.
The following is a quote of his article in its entirety.


Documentary focuses on Finnish aboard Titanic
Received a very interesting letter from Shirley Panula of Government Road. Friends in Chicago, Ill., noticed a newspaper article about Marko Kuparinen of Helsinki making a documentary for TV about Finnish passengers on the Titanic. The article then went on to list Finnish passengers who were on board the Titanic. Seeing Thunder Bay is home for the largest number of Finnish-speaking persons outside Helsinki, the names listed may be of special interest.
