THE SONS OF NORWAY
Do Not Forget the Land of Their
Nativity.

The patriotic sons and daughters of
Norway who have made Minneapolis
their adopted home celebrated the S7th
anniversary Of their independence on
Friday evening, May 18th, at Norman
ma Hail. where 1000 Of them congre-
gated to enjoy an excellent program
of oratory and music. The GRAFTON of
the evening was delivered by Rev.
George a. Arctander, of ST. Charles
church, the only Norwegian Catholic
priest in America.
1t was a graceful compliment to the
young priest to have been selected
orator for the occasion, and it is safe
to assert that he highly appreciates the
honor conferred on him by his patriotic
countrymenA That he touched the ten
derest chords Of their hearts by his
references to Norway was evidenced
by the enthusiasm he evoked. He was
frequently applauded in the course of
his address which he delivered in the
native language. The local Norwegian
papers have printed it in full and it
occupies some four columns of space
The following is translation of the
first part of the Grafton:
"F'or the first time in the twentieth
century, Mortimer gather to celebrate
their day of independence. 1t is not
