Paving the Way.
It was reported in these columns
short time ago that rival organi-
cation has sprung up in Denmark to
contest the right of the original Re-
bid National Park committee, spon-
sors of the annual Danish-American
Fourth of July celebrations in Den
mark; both organizations laid claim
to the funds-some $8,000-in posses
sion of the original committee. Word
now comes that the two groups have
met and decided to elect joint COM
mittee to straighten out the Difficult
ties; this is taken to mean that this
years Independence Day celebration
in the Rebild National Park in Den
mark will take place as per schedule.
Exchange Of Letters.
To foster a better and more thor
ough mutual understanding between
students in Norway and the United
States, the Norsemen's League recent
ly began an exchange of letters be-
tween young women attending the Mis-
sen Girls College in Oslo and st. OLAF
College, Northfield, MINI. Reports
now published indicate that the ex-
pertinent has been very successful
and it is now likely that a larger
number of students will be invited to
take part in the exchange of letters
which is said to have widened the
intellectual horizon of both the Nor
wegian and the American group con-
siderably.

Jens and Alfred Mortensen, broth
ers who are natives of the vicinity
of the Danish city, Ringkoebing, met
few days ago quite Unexpectedly and
accidentally at San Diego, Calf, after
having completely lost track of each
other for more than 40 years; they
happened to be standing in a wait

casually engaged in a conversation
which soon convinced them that they
were brothers. And then they
changed their plan about going to a
show that night!
