Motor Saws Speed
Norway Logging

OSLO-Introduct OF 80 new
motor-driven falling saws, recent
" purchased in Canada by the
Norwegian Ministry of Social At
fairs, is speeding work in Nor
ways forests. Social Affairs Min
ister Sven Oftedal and Minister OF
Agriculture Kristian Field recent
ly visited a logging operation at
Bersmoen near Randsfjord where
four of the new saws were in use.
Anyone who has used saw
like this" confirmed logger Hans
Petersen, will never go back to
the old buck saw. l can now turn
out twice as much work as be-
fore and it's a good deal easier on
the back" Loggers questioned in
other sections where the saws are
now in use were unanimous in
their praise of the new nipple
ments, although several suggested
that a more powerful motor might
fit them still better for use in
Norwegian forests.
Modernization of logging equip
ment and methods is being care
fully studied and tested in Nor
way at the present time in view OF
increased timber output for recon-
struction and export.

OSLO-More buildings were
constructed in the two north Nor
wegian provinces of Nord-Troms
and Finnmark in 1916 than were
built in all of Norway during 1889,
reports Norwegian Minister of
Supply and Reconstruction Oscar
Torp.
During a recent Oslo address,
Minister Torp further revealed
that in this huge Nazi-leveled area
half again as large as Denmark,
houses with total of $4,000
square meters % million So. ft.) of
floor space had been completed by
the wears end. In describing the
transport difficulties, the speaker
noted that material shipped from
eastern to far-northern Norway
must follow a route equal to the
distance between Oslo and south
ern Italy.
Over a third of the construction
in these districts to date has been
concerned with the economic re-
Mobilization of the area including
buildings, q o ks, warehouses,
stores. and facilities for fishing
and fish processing. Though it is
true" he stated, that most of the
housing is provisional, it is never
theless well to note that most OF
the houses are just as good as
those in which the populace OF
these districts lived before
Regarding building in other sec
tons of the country, it was further
noted that a total of 10000 apart
ments were complied during 1916
with an additional 12-l3,000 apart
ments under construction by years

resents a long step toward com

II CAN NOT ACCEDE:"
When King Haakon Took His Stand

stand which I have not been able
to conceal, shall be decisive for |
the government. 1t must take its |
stand regardless of my personal
views. But it is my opinion that it
is correct of me to give the Gov
eminent a clear indication of how
l regard the matter"
Although little of the material
included in the 9 divisions of the
now-published appendix is regard
ed as either new or sensational,
its importance as the basis for the
commission earlier report has
made it the center of public inter-
est. The compilation of sifted facts
fills in areas hitherto sketchily
covered in the earlier report and
stamps this first publication of the
commissions findings as a worthy
documentary study.
Section l, covering Nazi pre-
invasion plans, is based primarily
on private and official documents
found in Germany following the
war and confirms that Quisling's
friends, German Admiral Raeder
and Alfred Rosenberg, supported
an attack on Norway. Though Hit
ler's earlier plans included no at
tack on Norway, pressure from
these two top Nazi leaders plus
personal interview with Quisling
in Berlin Dec. l, 1889 changed the
picture, and on the night of April
3, 1910 C days before the inva-
SION the first Norway-bound ships
left German ports on Operation
Weserubung."
In Section Z, which deals with
the day of the invasion and the
period Immediately following, the
commission has established that
some of the confusion regarding
mobilization of troops stemmed
from the fact that it was decided
to mobilize no more than 4
brigades or 24,000 men. The COM
mission does not doubt, however.
that members of the government
themselves We're under the i'm
preston that general mobilization
was under way. The explanation
is probably that they were not
well enough acquainted with mobil-
ization procedure, concludes the
commission.
In a lengthy and Well-written
study of great historical value
Section 8 deals with the Norwegian
parliament's succumbing to Nazi
demands for the establishment OF
an interim governing body. Prof
Sverre Steen, author of this par
ticular section, has succeeded in
sitting the facts from a mass OF
controversial material, and has
given ample support to the com
missions strong criticism of the
Norwegian parliament and its
leaders contained in that body:

OSLO-Post-war additions anu

stored Norway's Social Security
system to pre-War standards, ao-
cording to statistics recently OUT
lined by Hans Capelen of the Nor
Wegian Social Affairs Department
To restore the allowance stand
ards established before the war,
cash payments have been increased
in proportion to the decline in pun
chasing power of the kroner dur
ing the occupation. The Social Sc
curity budget has, therefore, il
creased from 225,O00,O00 kr. year
ly to approximately 100000 XII
with 80 million kroner of the la
ter amount ear-marked for chile
ren's allowances and payments to
seamen.
Adoption of general mainte-
nance payments to Wage-earners
during periods of unemployment
or when the bread-Winner is con-
fined to a hospital, is also regard
ed as a broad advance. Payments
have been generally increased by
200 Kr. with additional sums avail
able for house-keepers and house
help in those instances where the
recipient is divorced or widowed.
and there are children in the fam
ilv. Under Illness Insurance pro
visions, the payment period has
been extended to maximum Of
two years in the case of tubercu-
losis. with no differentiation BE-
tween the paying member and sub
ordinates. Both wife and children
receive exactly the same consider
alton as the member himself.
Particular attention has b =
paid to increasing widows pen
sions which have now been raised
from 400 Kr. to 1900 kr. yearly
with allowances for each child UP
{ to 2700 kr yearly. In cases where
both parents are dead, the first
child now receives an amount
/ equivalent to the widows pension.
Illness insurance coverage for
seamen in foreign traffic is in
many respects now superior to
that enjoyed by persons resident
/ in Norway. Seamen receive free
medical care. medicine, and hos

to seamen rendered unemployab.e

noon on May 10, 1910, the day af-
ter the landing of the first Nazi

Brauer, had tried unsuccessfully to
force the Kings acceptance of a
Norwegian government to be head
ed by Vidkun Quisling. Meeting
later with his cabinet in the Nor
wegian village of Nybergsund,
King Haakon placed the matter in
the hands of his ministers with the
following statement:
Il am powerfully impressed by
the fact that responsibility for the
misfortunes which will descend up
on our land and people if this de-
mand is refused will rest upon my
self. And it is heavy responsible

But laws aren't enough. To make a quiet
city. every man, woman and child must get
behind the drive. Memphis, Tenn, which won
the award as the quietest city in the country
in l945 and 1916. has set pattern of civic
cooperation that can be followed BY every

up an anti-noise pamphlet and sent thousands

out by distributing them as collars on their
bottles.
A contest in Memphis schools produced an
anti-noise slogan that was plastered all over
the city. Movie theaters flashed it on the
screen. Motorists. coming into the city. were
greeted with giant sign: You're In Mem
