Summer Music
In Sweden

A delightful way to establish
contact with the daily life of Swe-
den, more intimate than the tour
list ordinarily gets through sight
seeing, is to witness some of the
open-air pageantry connected with
summer in the North. You may not
understand the language, for all
the singing and the words are in
Swedish, but the handicap is offset
by picturesqueness and novelty of
the scene =.
For instance, a week of all-Scan-
dinavian singing and other music
is often held in Stockholm. Some
times choirs from the four count
ries, Norway, Denmark, Finland
and Sweden, gather in the Stock
holm Stadium and form gigantic
chorus of 5000 voices. This event
is impressive both to see and to
hear. The great bowl" fills slowly
On special occasions the royal
family is well represented in the
royal box Then the different units,
carrying the national banners,
come trooping in to assemble in
the large chorus pit at one end
National songs are sung. The very
setting, with the surrounding wall
and towers of brick, lends a touch
of the romantic. The summer eve
ming is tinged with the mystic,
silvery light that does not fade.
The concert ends perhaps as late
as ten. At that hour you can still
easily read printed page like this.
On such occasions, or when you
listen to an open-air concert of
band and orchestra, you grow fam
liar with the work of various
Swedish composers, such as j. A.
Soderman, Wilhelm Stenhammar or
Hugo Alfven. The latter's rhapso-
dy, Midsummer Wake" has some
strains in the central movements
that actually seem to translate the
mystical beauty of the northern
summer night into the magic of
rhythm and sound Equally popu-
lar are the other northern names
Jean Sibelius, the Finnish compo-
ser, and Edward Grieg and Kristian
Sinding, Norwegian, Karl Nielsen,
Danish.
On other occasions you can see
various forms of the pageantry of
summer. Every Walpurgis Night,
May Day Eve. bonfires are lighted
in valleys and on the hills to vel
come the coming of Spring. The
Midsummer festivals are a part of
the life Of almost every Swedish
village.
In Stockholm the open-air thea
tire is also popular. At Skansen
there are regular performances
every evening in the summer and
the attractive feature here too is
the fact that no artificial light is
needed Favorite plays are Selma
Lagerlofs Legend of a Manor
House" which has been drama
tized, or some play featuring the
Scandinavian American. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1945-1958, 1947-08-01

of course, on actual losses due to
the weather. For several years
farm prices in general have been
stabilized by Government subsi-
dies, and minimum prices have
been guaranteed in advance of
planting.

The Weekly Newspaper
1907

What is the real function Of weekly newspaper,
and what should it do? Does it real purpose in
the community and does it justify it's existence? We
think it does We also think its purpose and standards
should be very different from those of the daily papers
in larger towns.

newspaper does 1t furnishes medium for necessary

to tell the people of the community what he has for

many large whose market is nation wide feel
that the weekly helps them get their message across
Otherwise, they would not spend their advertising
money with weekles they do.
The weekly also gives the various civic, social and
religious organizations opportunity to announce
their meetings, pubcize their activities and keep in

Behind the Scenes
In
American Business
BY REYNOLDS KNIGHT

Weaker prices in the stock
market, which have caused
some businessmen to arch a
quizzical eyebrow and ask about
the prospects for business, ap-
parently have not discouraged
a number of other businessmen
from planning for active
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. the nations railroads
plan to spend 70 per cent more
this year than they did in 1916.
This viii be important buying,
too. Railroads are generally
known as the 20 per cent in
dustry" because they use some
20 per cent of the nations
output of coal, steel, and some
other natural resources. Sup
plementing the railroad buying
will be that of a wide group of
businesses which are Schedul
ing larger advertising space in
newspapers and other media.
Outstanding exception to this
trend is the automobile indust'
ry which is now more concern
ed with production than with
selling That industry will turn
on the advertising heat when
output begins to match de-
mand. Thus, indications are
that top flight businessmen
think now is the time to go
out after business. Their eff
forts should contribute to the
country's productive output.

ton to one of 49,. cents grant,

pointed out, this has narrowed
the margin of earnings. First
