Baltic republics of industrial equip

about 200 roubles month, which
is about the cost of a couple Of

Major Harold P.adell on the staff
Of the Chaplain's Office, War Dept.

Baltic Scandinavian Society, on Mon
day, March 31st. Er. Prudell spoke
in place of Mr.. Hakon Kinck, Nor
wegian architect who was to dis.
cuss Norway's post-ward reconstruc-
ton, but could not attend due to
illness.
Chaplain Prudell was with the
American Task Force which landed
in Iceland to replace the British
and to protect the shores Of Iceland
and the route over which Ameri-
can supplies were being sent thru
the Lend Lease agreements.
He, like the other Americans,
found the place rather desolate with
no trees and volcanic mountains
which constitute two-thirds of the
island. The mean temperature is
around sc degrees and with the
Gulf Stream circling Iceland, it
makes the island livable on the

as 130 miles an hour. Then, too,

| zontally. So it is natural that the
homes have to be constructed in j
way to be weatherproof.
Iceland has it's summer with it's
long days during which people seem
to lose all sense of time. Here the
winter, of course, is just the op-
posite when they catch up on their
reading and education. During the
summer months, Iceland has day
light for 90 hours with the sun
shining for 22 hours. The people
naturally utilize this time to their
best advantage, farming, fishing
etc. Meals in Iceland consists OF
fish and more fish, sort of perpetual
Icelandic Lent.
Due to scarcity of materials, Ice
land has to import much from the
outside. Iceland has learnt how tc
harness the hot water from he,

houses where different kinds ot
vegetables are grown.
