A shortage Of teachers at the tech
biological high school in Throndhjem
has given rise to serious worry. n
the situation was recently SO acute
that there was some talk of closing
the school. 1t is thought that the
shortage is, in some measure, due to
the fact that teachers find more re-
numeratiye work with industrial
firms where they are in demand as ex-
perts.
Homebrew and Low Temperature.
Samuel Norskog's body was found
in a ditch lear Kviteseid in Tclemark-
en- two weeks ago, and subsequent in
vestigation showed that he had m
bibed too much 'homebrew' before
starting on a trip home from town;
apparently he fell off the buggy he
was driving, and either became un-
conscious or fell asleep in the ditch.
An inquest developed h fact that
death was duo to an excessive guam
tity of alcoholic drinks as well as 10
freezing temperature.
