II. E. D.--l love a girl in another
state. write her 3 or times
before she will answer. | re-
ceived a letter from her this week
asking me to marry her. Must
marry her or not? | really am
not ready to marry anyone?
Ans:-Pour cold water on her
idea AS you are entirely. too
young to marry. You found her
amusing but it definitely is not
a case Of love. She would answer
your letters promptly If she were
in love with you. The girl wants
to get married avoid being
the victim.
*M = i
S. N. B.-I have a wonderful hus-
band and | could be very happy
If 1t wasn't for the fact that you
/ have to have money to live on.
His only fault is, he can't keep
a job. He just wants to sit all
of the time and when he comes
/ home in the evening he piles up
in bed. What must | do?
Ans:-Arrange for him to see a
doctor as he apparently needs
medical attention. A man his
age should not be suffering from
fatigue all of the time and there
must be cause for his not hav-
ing any energy. Find out what il
is and clear the matter up.
So 80
M. N. C.-Your advice seems so
sound and convincing that | too
am coming to you. My husband
and | are living with his folks.
We have been here a year now
and he doesn't show any interest
at all in getting out to ourselves
| have my eye on an apartment
that is to become vacant soon
Should | follow through with my
plans to get out to ourselves?
1t won't cost but a little more
than you are paying right now
to live in a place of your own
HIS folks have been very kind
but It isn't right for you and
your husband to continue impos.
ing on them indefinitely.

THE PRIMARY JOB

The American delegate to
the United Nations, Mr.. Her
schel W. johnson, declares
that when 'peace is conced-
ed and security is organized,
reduction Of ornaments will
be politically feasible"
1t is difficult to understand
how any intelligent person
can oppose the logic of the
American delegates opinion.
Certainly, it would be dang
erous for any country to re-
duce its ornaments to the
point Of inpotency unless
there is q reasonable pros
pect Of peace and some form
of internationaY security de-
signed to protect those who
are relatively unarmed.
We are glad to see that
the subject is being discuss
ed by the United Nations be-
cause, in essence, it repre-
sents the prime purpose of
an international organize
ton. Though various COM
mittees, dominated by enthu-
siasts, seem intent upon
pushing the United Nations
into doubtful fields of en-
deavor, il, should be recog-
nized that the first gift Of
international organizations
to a waiting world should be
some definite contribution to
the establishment and main
tenance of world peace.
If the civilized nations Of
the earth can have a long
period of peace, there is
every prospect that rights Of
all men will be recognized.
This process must not be at
tempted by force but must
be permitted to grow by the
development of wisdom and
understanding among the
people involved.

SKAGEN.. The Story Of
A Danish Fishing Village

eds note: Mrs. Dagmar Wig
gers, octogenarian Danish news
paperwoman, is the author of this
article which appeared in the
weekly Midwest Scandinavian OF
Minneapolis. "Skag en-" or The
Skag, is located on the northern
most tip of the Jutland peninsula
which lies on a parallel with the
city of Gothenburg in neighboring
Sweden)
Much has been written in the
papers in Denmark lately on &C.
count of the Tooth anniversary of
the birth of Holger Drachmann.
the great Danish poet whom we
will always remember because, for
one thing, it was he who "discov-
cred" Skagen.
It was a fishing coast like any
of the others along the coast Of
Jutland. Enduring people lived
among the sand dunes, and not
only the fishing industry offered
dangers and unusual severe work !;
it was especially the life saving
tasks that demanded wills of steel.
whenever the signal was given,
the men rushed for the boats in
order to try to save human lives
from the stranded vessels. 1t had
been that way for ages, and it
was considered very good thing
we had these life saving crews
that's all there was about that.
But then, rs years ago, HolgeI
Drachmann came to the Skag, and
it did not take long before he
made the sandy peninsula famous
On his trail came other artists
the painters Michael nd Anna
Anchor, P. S. Kroyer, Tuxen
Brondum and their friends. Thu!
the rest of Denmark awoke to {
realization of the Skag and it:
meaning. We now all remembe
Michael Anchors and Kroyer'
brilliant paintings of Skag fisher
men or the canvasses 1.-The lif
saving boat goes to sea-" Fisher
men in oil coats and southwesters
People started to spend their va
/ cations at the Skag and more an
more artists made their way u
| there.
Now followed some jolly days
the Skag, for Crachmann and tn
other artists lead on in FELLOWSHIP
and happy festivals. One Nigh
call it the era of the noble boul
gogne-that festive wine whic
Drachmann always d a n an
which came into usage amoni

Scandinavian American. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1945-1958, 1947-12-01

kept aloof from all this high life
they Just attended to their danger
Gus tasks, but they were neverthe-
less "in style" because they were
frequently painted and so were
their wives and children so that
conditions changed for them all.
And this idyl lasted until the start
of the first world war.
During that war the Skag had a
new boom-it became a modern
bathing resort. The hotels were
filled with goulash aristocrats,
and excuses and eXcentricities be-
came the goal. The hotels sparkled
in illumination and in gold and
everything that was but expensive
at once became also lovely. Cham
payne was the daily drink and the
foam at the old Skag was not only
the salty spray of the waves-it
also came out of the dusty wine
cellars, as the author, John Fraen-
KEEL so fittingly has remarked.
After the war people grew more
sedate; it was the more solid bour-
goise and the sports enthusiasts
who took over at the Skag and
lemonade came into use.
The second world war brought
the Germans to the Skag with
