Extensive Use OF School
Films In Sweden

STOCKHOLM, Dec. 81. - fVia
airmaiD-The film is being used
to an increasing extent for educa-
tional purposes in Swedish schools
Svensk Filmindustri, leading mo-
ton picture producers in the
country, have established a IL
brary comprising over 1900 such
films, several hundreds of which
are of standard size. The majority
deal with geographical, historical.
or biological subjects. Every SWed-
ish province has its own film, de-
picting it's natural features, towns
and cities, monuments, etc. Some
of the best reels made by Prince
Wilhelm, youngest son of King
Gustaf, are included in the col
lection, as we'll as ski instruction
films, pictures giving information
about various industries, social
welfare, etc.
These films have attracted at
tention even outside Sweden, and
recently the school authorities in
Iceland ordered As of them. An

Morse Atom Bomb
Men Are honored

On an isolated Norwegian
mountain farm monument has
just been raised to commemorate
two Norwegian scientists who
gave their lives to keep the atom
ic bomb secret from Germany.
The two heavy water specialists,
DR.. Left Tronstad and Gunnar
Syverstad, who had once escaped
from Norway with valuable at
omic information, parachuted in
to Rjukan Valley early in 1915 to
determine the progress of German
atom-splitting research at the
huge Norwegian electrolytic
plant. Both were apprehended by
the Gestapo and executed.
The three-ton block of native
Norwegian stone, worn smooth by
the elements, now stands in a
high mountain pasture near Rau-
land, marking the spot where Ges-
tapo bullets ended the lives of the
two scientists. Eighteen members
of the Norwegian home forces
had spent many weeks searching
for this fitting monument to their
comrades and transporting it to
it's permanent site. Unwilling SER
vices will be held as soon as the
stone has been inscribed.

THE SCANDINAVIAN AMERICAN
Danish Pastry
By Baron Joost Dahlerup
By Baron Joost Dahlerup

/ uent wilson, was the pest ever
made.
Long before the appointed hour
large crowd had collected out
side Gertner's Cafe on Broadway
whether naturally gathered by
the advertisements or more artifi-
cially made up, is hard to deter
mine at this time = but people
seemed to turn up from all corners
in ever increasing numbers. Extra
police had to be called in to keep
order. Then the gong rang, the
main entrance was thrown wide
open and people just streamed in.
And from a side door they
streamed out again stuffing Dan
ish pastry into their mouths. All!
Oh! was heard from all sides, and
wherever you cast your eyes you
saw people patt.rg their stomachs.
Up and down Broadway you would
hear the words: Wonderful, deli
cious and other variations for the
same thing repeated over and over
again-and then the gong sounded
for the second time and a sign
was put out reading: Danish pas
try 10 cents a piece. But still the
crowd didn't dwin dle so very
much.
The sale of Danish Pastry was
enormous for the next days, and
taking advantage of the success
Klitteng went to other cities fol-
lowing the same advertising stunt.
Some of the places where he went
in rapid succession were: Busy Bee
in st. Louis, Mortons in Kansas
City, F'ranklin's in Salt Lake City,
st. Francis Hotel and The Golden
Pheasant in San Francisco, Hotel
Gruenwald in New Orleans, Sey-
holds Bakery in. Miami, Dorst's
Bakery and The Cookery in Sa-
vannah, etc. Soon Danish Pastry
was made from coast to coast and
was for sale in every bakery, gro
Gerry store and lunchroom all over
the country.
But just as with "Old Grey
Mare" Danish Pastry ant what
it used to be-" For year or so it
kept up to the standard but then
it commenced gradually to fall off
The bakers began to skimp on all
those good things that go into
Danish Pastry-and now all that
is left of Danish Pastry is the
name.
Klitteng ought to come back
once more and bring back Danish
Pastry to it's former deliciousness.
But unfortunately that is impossi-
BILE. Klitteng is now an old man
too early aged through sickness
and misfortune. He is blind. Until
the German occupation of Den
mark he was an inmate of THE
Old Peoples Town" in Copenhagen,
an institution for which Denmark
has been highly admired all over
the world, and there, of course.
the best care was taken of him.
But that was before the war, and
we know only too well how the
Germans consider the old and
helpless.
However, where he is, or how
he is farirg,. there must at least
be one happy moment in his men,
ory-his wonderful success in his
art baking during his short
stay in the United States.

all questions aside and went right
over to that sanctUm where a

The editor tried to put in a
slight defense for our bakers, but
it was useless.
At that moment the editors

"Oh, be kind enough to find out

ran out of the office and slammed
the door behind him.
A few days later. when all the
papers in the country brought
their full stories of the wedding,
there was passage in each of
them about a Danish baker who
had been permitted to use an oven
in the White House bakery, in
which he had made the most deli
cious Danish Pastry" for the
breakfast of the President And
Mrs. Wilson the morning after the
wedding.
That word. Danish pastry"
was evidently used in default of
better word. the Danes themselves
call it Vienna bread" but that
word, Danish pastry, was going to
stay and has even found it's way
into some dictionaries as a good
American expression - like coffee
ring. crullers, etc.

New York daily newspaper came
out with an enormous advertise
ment from Gertner's Bakery and

Secretary of Commerce Wallace
warned yesterday that the country
is well along the inflationary road
it travelled after World War
and that only through careful plan
ming can the nation cushion the
shock he feels is coming.
Present-day full employment, he
said, can't last long.
Conceding that the postwar goal
outline in his book, Sixty Million
Jobs" is now achieved numerically
Mr.. Wallace said it is due to in
f1ationary pressure and has none
of the stability he advocated fol
an enduring prosperity.
The cabinet officer was a little
more optimistic on the aftermath Of
a boom and bust" however. He
observed; II feel that the bust fol-
lowing the boom will not be as bao
as some economists think"
This is what Mr.. Wallace sees
ahead:
/. A temporary boom of consid-
cradle proportions, lasting maybe a
year or even two years." with stead
lily rising employment, prices, inven-
tories and plant investment.
2. An inevitable "bust" or re-
adjustment, with declining employ
ment, production and purchasing
power.
3. A period of the kind "some
people like to think of as normal,
but with purchasing power and de-
mand for goods weaker than he
thinks they should be and prices
"favoring the stronger, more fav-
orably-situated industries"
"The upward spiral will stop and
the vicious downward spiral begin
when inventories have been built
up enough to saturate the pent-up
demand we have now for all types
of goods" he said.
1t is when the Nation enters the
third stage, Mr.. Wallace said, that
the issue of full employment will
become most vital in order to keeI
money in consumers pockets and
business financed without depend
ing on a high volume of deficit
spending by the Government"
Government, business, labor and
agriculture all have a real oppor-
tunity to toss a pillow under 6
descending economy to soften the
bump" by cooperating with Presi.

Dachau where thousands met tor

when visited the camp, every
thing was in order, including the
spotless kitchens, the showers, the
operating rooms and the dispensary.
Before the war the inmates were in
outstandingly good health. During
the war years my impression was
that they were normally fed"

history, merely a protective" or
