THE SCANDINAVIAN AMERICAN
Norwegian Refugees
Reach Northern Sweden
In Desperate Condition

STOCKHOLM, Dec. 5 (Roya'
Norwegian Information Service)--
From Karesuando, in northern
most Swedish Lapland, come ac-
counts of the desperate condition
of the Norwegian refugees who
stream across the frontier to this
village and other places inside the
Swedish border. These evacuees
have crossed the path of the Fin
nish army. which is pushing to-
ward Norway opposite the Lying
en- Fjord. The Norwegians re-
ceive every kind of aid as they
are guided toward more populated
districts. On November 20,
group of 100 persons with five
horses and fifteen reindeer arrived
in Karesuando. Another group
consisted of 100 persons, including
women, young children and old
men. They had trekked across
the mountains for eight days with
only handful of food; most of
them had walked some 60 or 70
miles from their homesteads

but mostly they We're forced to
spend the cold arctic nights under

left their homes on November
after having been ordered by the
Germans, at four in the morning,
to evacuate their houses and move
southwark. All their homesteads
had been burned by the Nazis. \
member of one group had become
insane and had to be left behind
in the mountains.
Relief Work Carefully Planned
The care of the Norwegian evac-
uees on the Swedish side is man
aged according to a we'll laid plan.
Lars Evensen, head of the Norwe-
gian refugee office in Stockholm,
is now in Karesuando, where he is
working with representative OF
the Swedish authorities. Swedish
military planes are constantly in
action, searching for stray Nor
wegians, dropping wooden blank
cts and food by means of para
chutes, and guiding the evacuees
on the right track. The planes
also carry the sick and exhausted
to the nearest hospitals. At the
various points along the route
small cabins and houses have been
put in order for the refugees and
equipped with food, fuel, matches
shoes, clothing and medicines.
This has been done by the civilian
authorities in cooperation with the
military district leaders. The
Swedish Government has ordered
tourist stations, hostels and cab
ms along the Norwegian border
to be turned into first-aid stations
with food for two weeks, signaling
apparatus, bandages and medlcin-
es, compasses, shoes, etc. In al
the cabins detailed directions in
several languages are posted in
case prisoners of war succeed in
escaping and try to find their way
to Sweden.

guide, the association members were
introduced to an almost fairyland
city of gold temple spires cleaning
in the sun, and pagoda rooted build
ings with intricately carved lattice
work entrances. From a courtyard
where they saw boys playing Soc
cer-like type of handball, they went
to the steps of the royal palace to
see the famous dancing girls perform
graceful symbolic dance rhythms.
. The film over, the group was then
led to an exhibit room in another
part of the school where they saw
objects of art representing centuries
of Thai culture. Brought from the
Thailand Legation especially for the
occasion, the "objets dart" included:
Inlaid mother of-pearl boxes, fill
gree silver miniatures, a cigarette
stand made from a tigers skull or
namented with silver, a 4-foot
ancient Thai sword with hand
worked silver handle, porcelain urns
and hand-painted lacquer boxes. On
one table, two gigantic elephant
tusks flanked a bronze image OF
Buddha set on an inlaid mother of
pearl stand.
Following a native Thai custom,
in which the Minister earlier in the
evening had explained, friend
greeting another does not say hello"
but have you eaten," the associa-
ton was then served special Thai
refreshments-curry and rice, served
by Indira Inthorathut, niece Of the
Minister and a student at the Bur-
dick school, who had prepared the
Special dish.

selfish, money-hungry family. Miss

a permanent place among the out
standing actresses Of our era.

hard work. Born in Minneapolis,
