1000 Tractors To
Norway This Year

OSLO-Reports from the Nor
wegian Gasoline Allotment Office
indicate a 40 per cent increase in
the 1947 gas ration for agriculture
over last years figure. There were
approximately 4,000 tractors in
Norway before the war, with 1889
imports in excess of 1900 units.
Most Of these were badly worn
during the war years, and though
1916 tractor imports totalled ap-
proXimately 700 units the continu-
ing shortage has slowed complete
farm recovery.
The 1947 quota has been set in
excess of 1000 units. Though suf-
ficient foreign exchange has been
made available for purchases de-
liveries have been slow AS most
of the new tractors are gasoline
powered and the number of trucks
now in use on Norwegian farms
has generally increased, a parallel
increase in the gas ration for ag-
riculture is termed an absolute
necessity.

Firms Offer Timber
For Olympic Arenas

Finland, the country which
would have housed the Olym-
pic Games in 1910 but for the
war in Europe, and will be
the host in 1852, is making
a valuable contribution to the
194S festival in London. Learn
ing of the shortage of lumber
required for the erection of
huts and sports arenas, the
Olympic Committee in Helsing-
fors cabled that it will give 20
standards of lumber for this
purpose. This represents APP
proximately so tons of timber.
Prime mover behind the gift
is Mr.. Laurie Miettinen, men,
Der of the Finnish Olympic
Committee and delegate to the

nish contingent to the Olym-
pic Games is expected to be
the fifth largest behind Great

Norway School
Boys Trained
In The Kitchen

OSLO-Recognizing that Cir
cumstances often modify the old
adage about "a woman's place be-
ing in the home" education au-
thorities in the Norwegian town of
Levanger have reasoned that the
man, too, must be prepared to
step into the kitchen when neces-
sary. They have therefore decided
that all 7th grade boys in Lev
anger schools must take three
hours training in domestic science
each week-the first ruling of it's
kind in Norway.
School authorities at Sandar in
Vestfold Province had earlier eX-
perimented in this field. They
found that with only 8 girls in
their whole It'll grade class, it
might be worth while to let the
boys in the class spend some time
in the schools new domestic sci
ence department. The experiment
proved most successful.
School authorities in Oslo have
been watching these experiments
with interest. and it is indicated
that a course in domestic science
will soon be obligatory for Oslo
grade school boys.-No thrill for
Viking ice-boX raiders nowadays.

To Chart NORWAY
Gold Deposits

OSLO-Charting of gold re-
sources in Norway's northernmost
province of Finnmark will be be-
gun this summer, according to the
Norwegian Geological Survey.
Though small amounts of the
precious metal have been found
in scattered deposits, and a small
gold mine was in operation near
Eidsvold over 100 years ago, in
terest has centered mainly on the
gold bearing streams in Finn
mark province.
Up to now, however, gold wash
ing in that section has produced
meager results and it is not eX-
pected that the 4-man Geological
Survey group will uncover any
Klondike. There are many Nor
wegians, however, who feel that
the 6-week survey in the Karasjok
area will be of value in determin-
ing the source of the gold found
in the streams there.
Gold found i'll Finnmark thus
far is thought TO have no connec-
ton with the Boliden fields in
Sweden but may come from the
same source as gold mined in
streams near Enare, Finland The
surveys main concern will be to
determine how much gold remains
in the original mountain forma-
tons in F'innmark Province.

Can your landlord evict you!
Last week we discussed the
ifs and butts of rent increases,
and the rights of tenants in gen.
eral. Now well look into the
when's and how's of evictions.
Before we start, a reminder is
in order that when your land
lord is trying to put over any
thing that you suspect IS lie
gal, whether it involves a rent
increase, an eviction. or a cut
in services, the first thing to do
is to check with the OPA rent
office. In Chicago it's at go w.
Adams, ANDover $500.
THERE ARE a number Of
reasons for which your landlord
can have you evicted without
having to get an OPA Certifi-
cate of Eviction. Here they are.
II you violate an important

false barriers erected by man
himself.
"The antiquated social sys-
TENS, ignorance, stupidity and
fear prevent a large percent
age of the world from enjoy
ing even the most fundamen-
tai of the benefits of science"
I SUBMIT that this kind OF
Moscow-inspired talk is dam
gerous and subverslve. 1t IS
foreign to our traditions and
is plain propaganda designed
TO set class against class and
stir up revolution. For how
would people know that anti
ouated social systems were
to blame for their failure to
"enjoy even the most funda-
mental of the benefits of sci
ence" unless it was called to
their attention by an agent OF
the Kremlin?
DIR. Kettering would OBJ
viousIy change America and
the world. He would remove
ssthe false barriers erected
by man himself" so that all
people could get the proper
food. That includes millions

lords try to give the opposite
impression, they cannot eyict
you without court order and
. court hearing, where You
have the same right 10 fight
your case as in any other civil
action.
For any other type of evic.
ton, they must get an OPA Ger,
tificate, which is not an eviction
notice. 1t is merely an OK on
the landlords demand for per
mission to start proceedings as
of a certain date.
THE MOST common case Of
this type, of course is that of
the new buyer of the dwelling,
who is permitted to start evic-
ton proceedings in order to use
the home for himself or for i'm
mediate members of his family.

rent to some one else.
He cannot evict you because
you have children after you
move into the dwelling.
The landlord cannot evict YOU
because you refuse to pay more
than the legal maximum rent.
He cannot evict you because
you have no lease. He cannot
evict you because you are a
nuisance to him in demanding
that he furnish the hear or serv
ices legally required of him, or
because you have complained
about him TO the OPA.
That's the way it stands, ten
ants, as of today, while federal
rent control is still in force. We
have outlined in these two ar.
ticles the main points as far as
the rights of tenants ale con.
cerned, for your information.
OF COURSE, If you have a
fair and reasonable landlord,
who is not a profiteer or a
chiseler, and you fulfill your
own obligations as a tenant,
you're lucky.
Unfortunately, more than a
just a small handful of Chica-
COS landlords, especially the
big reaiestate operators, are
out to squeeze the housing
shortage for everything they
can get out of it, and they don't
care how they do it.

SEES; and city jewellers who
can't fit shrunken incomes
to inflated food and other
prices because of an "anti-
quated social system" which
provides millions of dollars
for the Morgans and pennies
for the clock punchers.
1t was DR.. Kettering's "anti-
quated social system" which
on New Years Eve in Chicago
permitted the stark contrast
of the Cameo club at 116 East
Walton street filling the JOINT
with a cover charge of $500
per couple while few miles
away on West Madison there
were full grown mem by-prod-
ucts of our free enterprise"
system-bumrning quarters to
pay for a nights lodging in
some haven. for hungry, bed
bugs. Undoubtedly DR.. Ketter-
ing had these things in mind,
being a scientist and naturally
interested in what happens in
his own front yard.
y . -
THIS is what socially con-
scious people, including Com
munists, have been thinking
for4years. It's completely cock
eyed for the hare of science
to so far outrun the tortoise
of society. But according to
the economic rulers of Amer
lea. to fight these un-Ameri-
can inequalities is un-Ameri-
can. If Ernie Adamson and the
Wood-Rankin committee have
their way, DR.. Kettering will
be another name on the stag
gering list of subversives.
I am glad, however, to know
how the eminent scientist feels
even though it is dangerous in
another way. Suppose word
gets around to General Motor
workers that the vice-presi-
dent of the corporation has
come out squarely as a foe of
"antiquated social systems"
and one who firmly believes
that scientific know-how is
capable of providing enough
for everybody?
What happens then? L
mean, what gives when the
guy who shakes his head in
disgust over his take-home
pay suddenly agrees with
DIR. Kettering that he should
have a share Of "the benefits
of science" comparable to
that of General Motors ex-
ecutives?

Passing Of Saturday Night

America is losing something in
the passing of the old-fashioned Sat-
urday night. We indorse a recent
national weekly magazine editorial
deploring the spread into the small
er cities and towns of the idea Of
closing stores so early on Satur-
day that Saturday night shopping is
disappearing.
Merchants in the smaller towns
are taking a big chunk of pleasure
out of life in their communities by
heading into this program" the pub
LEGATION quotes Minnesota country
editor as writing. ''The Saturday
night shopping trip is like the Satur-
day night bath. 1t has social an
gle. Nothing does so much for
keeping town and country contacts. :"
Good here! But there is little
hope. In the headlong dive into a
new order of shorter days, shorter
weeks, shorter schedules and short
err sweats, the American week has
been processed into a fve-day af-
fair with the old-fashioned Saturday
blitzed to a fare thee-Wel1.
Saturday night was the great
night of the American week through
most of it's history. 1t was some
thing to look forward to. 1t had the
flavor Of a combination picnic, ba-
zaar, county fair and jamboree.
There was a banjo-on-my-knee
mood to it.
The stores kept open until 10 and
closed reluctantly. The dimming of
the store lights was as sad as the
last tune at the country dance.
The crowds were slow going home.
Saturday night died hard.
Today the people quit work Fri
day night or early Saturday and
settle into a prolonged program of
weekend recreations that will make
'em miserable. They don't get as
much fun out of 48-hour pursuit of
happiness as they used to get be-
tween and Saturday night.

in a mood for high adventure, and
got back around midnight still feel
