story In brief Of Astrid Fjelde, who
In the lSeos lived with her family on
Q claim near Washburn.
Where once her playmates were
cowboys and the more friendly Wild
life Of the plains - she mimicked the
notes Of the meadow lark, her COM
panions now are singers ana must
clans with names known to millions.
For her first soap box concert she re-

mimicks the meadow lark call.
Miss Fjelde Is one Of the most pop

radio debut was made more than two
years ago, after she had been pro-
nounced Z success since she first ap-
peared In Aeolian Hall In New York

She is q sister to Paul Fjelde, Min

The singers first ambition was tc

and to this end she attended the Val
ley City state Teachers college. But
the mother encouraged the natural
urge to sing and Astrid was moved to
New York with the rest Of the family
and studied. She sang her way to
critics hearts at Aeolian Hall. Keith
