Burger 0sland, General Agent for
the middle west OF the Norwegian
! American Steamship line, delivered
/ an address on America" his talk be
/ ing given in English. lie made IN in
! troductory talk explaining how so
! many of the people of Chicago and
also of the various communities IN
! this state, and in the Northwestern
states had had a great deal to do with
the development of the farming inter
: ests in this particular vicinity and
were interested here because Tie first
settlement Of Norwegians in America
took place about 1925 in the Fox Riv-
er Valley in and around Norway.
! Those people have moved from the
Fox River section and their descend
ants are now located all ever the mid
die west, and are glad TO come back
to see this spot of the first settlement
OF their forefathers.
The Norwegian people Of Chicago
look upon the Fox rive settlement in
La Sale county, as tn Yankees look
upon the States of New England the
country OF their ancestors. After This
introduction Mr.. Osland he held forth
now This interest of the people i'm this
community and in all the communities
where they are now settled can be u.s.
ed for the greater development and
the sound and substantial welfare Of
all communities. The good traits of
the Norwegian people can be made In
be of great account, he said. in all
these localities The bad fetures can
be easily eliminated.
/ The greater future If America. he
continued, will depend in some meas
ure upon the behaviour and the steady
effort for good that he Norwegian
race can do.
