The fine weather Sunday coaxed
many to take trip over to West
Denmark, Wis, to be present at the
closing meetings of the three day con-
vention of the Third District Danish
Young Peoples Societies. To men
tion individually those who went over
is almost impossible as it was freely
estimated that there were more than
one hundred Askovites on the grounds
Sunday afternoon. Four delegates
from the local society, Sina Sorensen,
Engelke and Ingstrup Gregersen, and
Alexander Paulsen, drove over Fri
day morning to be present for the
whole convention. Others drove later
in the day and quite number of auto
loads went over Saturday; but the fine
weather Sunday morning brought out
whole string of cars bound for the
pretty Wisconsin Danish settlement.
Most of those going over Sunday NOR
ming took the socalled short route
via Danbury or Markville and then
down No. 35, but they were sadly dis
appointed, for after travelling all the
way over to No. 35 on road that had
become rather poor after the heavy
rain Saturday, they found the Wis
consin highway had just been re-
shaped and that Saturdays rain had
made it impossible. The first few
cars that came there were pulled
through by two teams stationed there
for that purpose, but it was soon evil
dent that it would be an all day job,
so the tourists were directed over a
ten mile detour on which many had
to get out and push. Thus the short
route became the long route for it
took from to hours for the var
ious ones to get through. Many had
car trouble and few minor accidents
were reported, but when it comes to
tire trouble, Emery Nedegaard sure
wins first prize, for on the round trip
he registered twenty-three punctures
or blow-outs. Many of the Askov
young folks are remaining at West
Denmark to attend the summer en-
campment which is an annual two
weeks event. One of the features on
the program Saturday evening was an
exhibition of Danish folk dancing by
"a young folks from Askov.
