Purification

Granö Veli

Voitto Koskenvaara, an old Finnish inventor, has discovered how to purify everything hazardous from his home. He can clean food, objects and newspapers from additives. His strange device protects from all unhealthy things like, for example, radiation. His message could be: It is possible to find solutions for all problems. And it is still possible to find a peaceful place in the world. And what is best, you can still feel that you can control your world.
