OF individuals and ideas.
During a recent interview, Mr..
Henry N. Bache, General Secretary
of the organization Norwegian
division explained the system of
community friendship triangles."
Already, over 40 of these "tri-
angles" made up of Norwegian,
Swedish, and Danish cities of SINH
lar size, have been formed. The
three communities in each "tri-
angle" exchange news items, Of
flclals exchange visits, groups of
school children make trips to the
other two member cities, and
sports groups, hobby clubs, and
womens circles trade visits and
information. Typical of these tri-
angles is the one made up of Aar-
hus, Denmark, Bergen, Norway,
and Malnlo, Sweden. where special
news items from one of the
friendship cities are appearing
in the press OF the others.
