Tonsberg and Sandefjord, on Oslo
Fjord, are home ports for the great
whaling fleets that have pushed Nor
wegian industry far into Antarctic
waters. Eighty miles inland the ford
widens into an island-dotted lake on
whose northern shore is Oslo, set in
a curve of steep, wooded hills.
Save for an old church or two and
the thirteenth century fortress. Aker-
shus, that guards the harbor, there
Is little in modern Oslo to remind one
os the past. Among the principal
buildings are the royal palace, Stort-
ing CParliament) University and Ma
tional Theater, all reached by Karl
Johansgate. Rather curiously, this
main street of Norway's capital was
named for foreign ruler-Napoleon'S
general, Bernadette, who became
Charles XIV of Norway and Sweden.
On Bygdoy, a tree-covered island
west of Oslo, is the famous Norwegian
Folk Museum. Here, under open skies
or set in birch woods, are preserved
the homes of past centuries. Nor
ways wooden architecture, the prod
uct of her great forests, is character
istic of the country. Design, decora-
ton and even furniture are deter
mined by structure. In the low, dim
interiors, tables, benches and beds
are built into the rooms as solidly as
rafters and walls.
From December to April the snow
covered hills near Oslo are traced
with ski tracks and toboggan runs.
Korketrakkeren, alias Corkscrew Hill,
is best for tobogganing. On Sundays
and holidays, thousands pack the
trains for Holmenkollen, their skis
stacked in racks outside the cars. Two
cross country ski races are held dur
ing the Winter sports week that pre-
cedes Holmenkollen day. Contestants
in the jumping events must first quail
ify in these. One race is over a 10
mile course, the other covers ais
lance of 81 miles and is one of the
most difficult tests known to SkierS.
Oslos skating Kinks are worthy of
the city of Sonia Henfe, who has
held the world figure skating cham
pionship since 1927. International
skating competitions are another fea-
ture of sports week.
Nansen, who crossed Greenland on
skis, trained first on the hills about
Oslo. Amundsen, following the same
trails, developed the skill and endur-
ance that carried him to the South
Pole and back. At Frognersateren,
above Holmenkollen, is a ski museum,
with every known type Of ski, and
also relics of the great Norwegian
polar expeditions.
At Easter time, when the snow in
the lowlands has begun to melt, skiing
conditions in the mountains are per-
feet. Then Oslo declares a holiday
and young and old crowd the snow
trains bound north. Norway reaches
well above the Arctic Circle, and in
higher attitudes the skiing lasts
through May, despite frightening
days and hot Spring sunshine.

Plentywood herald. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1908-current, 1935-05-02

ORGANIZED labor opened its at
~ tempt to obtain recognition in the
automobile industry with a strike Of
workers in the Toledo plant of the
Chevrolet Motor company. The fac
tory was closed down Immediately,
though only a part of the force joined
in the strike. Union pickets were
placed about 1t, but city police and
deputy sherilfs were on hand to see
that there was no disorder.
President Sloan Of General Motors
corporation issued this statement in
New York.
The vital question involved is
whether General Motors corporation is
willing to sign an agreement for a
closed shop recognizing the local union
as the exclusive representative of all
the employees of the Toledo plant.
This General Motors will not do"
The union, in a lengthy statement,
said its committee has done every.
thing In its power to meet with the
management and to secure an amicable
and fair adjustment of the matter Of
wages, hours and union recognition
and various other grievances.
1.-THE management refused to sign a
contract of any kind and iarly refused
every section of the proposed contract
with the exception of two minor points"
The company offered to make wage
readjustments and give a s per cent

elimination against union men, and
agreed to respect seniority rights as
provided by the automobile labor board.
Secretary Perkins sent Thomas j.

tor, TO Toledo TO see what might be
done. President Green OF the A. F. OF
L. said there was grave danger that

urer of the Democratic party. lie has
replaced Donald Richberg as chairman
of the National Emergency council and
is the head of a new division in that
body known as the division of applica-
tion and information. Under his direc-
ton all proposals will be sorted out
and data on them from various gov
eminent units will be co-ordinated.
Then they will be handed on. with
Mr.. Walkers recommendations, TO a
new works allotment board which is
headed by Secretary Harold lckes.
These two additions to the alphabet
groups in Washington are known as
D.AI and WAB.
In a press conference the President
named these eight types of work which
will be undertaken, with the amount
of money to be spent on each:
/. Highways. roads, streets. grade
crossing elimination, and express high
ways, SS0O,000,000.
Q. Rural rehabilitation, relief in
stricken agricultural areas, water con-
%servation, water diversion, irrigation,
reclamation, rural industrial communi-
ties, and subsistence homesteads, $780,
100000.
4. Housing, low cost housing in rural
and urban areas. reconditioning, and
r~emodeling, S450,000,0 900.
5. Assistance for educational. pro-
fesslonal, and clerical persons and
other white collar unemployed, $780,
100000.
6. Citizen Conservation corps, $780,
100000.
Z. Sanitation. soil erosion, stream
pollution, reforestation, flood control,
rivers and harbors, S350,000,000.
S. Loans, grants. or both, to cities,
counties, states, and other political
subdivisions for public works, $780,
100000.
The rural rehabilitation work will
be directed by Rexford G. Tugwell, I'M
der-secretary of agriculture, and he
will not be responsible TO Secretary
Wallace but will have a free hand to
carry out his schemes for moving fam
lilies from marginal lands, shifting
stranded industrial workers to new,
planned rural communities and build
ing cities outside of large urban CEN
tiers to relieve slum congestion.
Asked as to how much was ready to
be spent the President recalled that
100000, 900 already had been put for
ward for the CCC and that Public
Works Administrators Harold L. Ickes
had applications totallng more than
$1,000, 100000.
In conclusion, the Chief Executive
said that there was a tendency to
make loans instead of grants wherever
possible, the loans to be long-term ones
at low interest rates.
Appointment of Mr.. Walker leaves
Mr.. Richberg free, as the President
said, to devote his time to the MIRA
during the period of pending legisla.
ton in congress and litigation In the
Supreme court.

wanted to call off the whole affair.
This could not be done, but the cele-
