Trygye Lie Backs
bernadotte Fund

STOCKHOLM, October 6.-(By
Wireless) = The international
Folke Bernadotte Fund, which
was started by the Swedish Euro
pean Aid organization to be used
to serve the interests Of peace and
humanity, has received the follow
ing telegram from Trygve Lie,
Secretary General of the United
Nations:
II am warmly in favor of your
suggestion that a memorial fund
be created to assist the worthy
cause in which Count Bernadotte
was interested I can think of no
better way in which to perpetuate
the memory of Count Bernadotte,
and l hope that the project will
receive widespread support in
many countries"
A steady stream of contribu-
lions is pouring in to the Aid Of
flee from private and official per-
sons as well as from groups, orga-
nizations, and business firms. On
October l the Fund amounted to
250,O0O kronor. The day before,
$4,000 kronor were received from
the Cooperative Union and dona-
tions for similar amounts from
the Federation of Labor and from
the Swedish Employers Associa-
ton. At the same time the en-
ployees of the Cooperative Union
contributed 10000. to the Euro

Arctic Culture
Center Planned

Far north of the Arctic Cir
Gle in Norway's Finnmark Prov
mce, the village of Kautokeino
may soon be the site for a new
scandinavian cultural center.
Norwegian and Swedish educa-
tors meeting recently at the
University of Oslo have pro-
posed that center for nomadic
Laplanders be developed there
one which will center about
a modern training school for
Lapp youth.
1t has long been felt that the
unique culture developed by
these little-known people is rap
idly disappearing, and that Nor
wegians should become better
acquainted with the 10000
Laps living within Norway's
borders. The proposed program
will make it possible for wan
dering Lapp herdsmen and their
families to have a common cul-
tural meeting ground with their
fellow-Norwegians.
DR.. Gutorm Guessing, Norwe-
gian specialist believes that an
active program launched with
a minimum of delay will be of
great value in developing this
neglected cultural area. Par
ticular stress will be placed on
instruction in Norwegian-Lapp
dialects.

GOLDFISH CARE.
From Miss F. F., Washington

I am not an expert on the care
of goldfish, and nave had only a
short experience with them, seven
months, but my goldfish are
healthy, frisky and full of pep, SC
/ pass along to those interested
such information as I have OBJ
tained about goldfish.
Last summer when I was given
two goldfish, and knowing nothing
whatever about taking care of them
I obtained from the Fish and Wild
life Service of the United States
Department of Interior, here IN
Washington, leaflet 81, dated June
1916, and entitled, Care OF Gold
fish"
Here are some helpful hints as
listed in the leaf1et: Because OF
the narrow top, the so-called flsn
bowl is not adapted to keeping gold
fish in a healthy condition, be-
cause the small amount of surface
will not permit the absorption OF
sufficient air for the well being
of the fish. Il obtained 2-gallon,
rectangular aquarium, with equal
width at the top and bottom. These
are obtainable from pet shops or
wherever goldfish are soldo
It is well to vary the diet OF the
fish. I have three different kinds:
The flakes, which provide the
cereal in the diet; a "meaty" pre-
pared food consisting of mosquito
larvae, insects, etc., and the waters
Also I keep some type OF plant
(also obtainable where goldfish are
sold) in the aquarium. 1t provides
the fish not only with forage, but
is a good oxygenator. put In
fresh plants about every three
months. 1 do not have sand In
my aquarium, only shells and mar
bles about / inch thick on the bot
tom. I do not know the name OF
the plants Except fanwort), but
they do not have to be planted in
sand. They will grow IN water.
The warning, Feed sparingly,"
think I took too seriously at first
and perhaps did not feed the fish
enough. AS I have added more
fish to the aquarium Il now have
six), I have increased the amount
of food, but do not supply more
than the fish will eat, except In
rare instances. Not one of my fish
has ever been sick, but they have
good appetites, so for that reason
| I do n0t think I feed them toe
much, or too often. They get a
good meal in the morning, ano

New York Fashion Notes

With both of these men we dis
cussed the revival of the French
Louis heel. That's the thin in the
middle and large at top and bottom
heel that's to be a big fashion note
for spring in both high and low
+heeled versions Personally, we say,
you can take it or leave it! The
long pointed toe shoe with this heel
Mr.. Troy's daughter Louise looked
at it and said it reminded her OF
the "witch's heel' in an Illustration
in her book of fairy tales-is the
same shoe women wore years ago
and made every chiropodist in the
business oh SO happy! Some will
return to this type of fashionable
shoe. Some will also see bunions
growing where bunions never grew
before. The present generation
doesn't remember the shoe. That
might be the reason why some peo-
pie want to introduce them once
again.
Last week we saw what the vol
ume ready to wear" industry was
offering in the way Of spring clothes
for the American woman. We de-
cided to investigate a bit and dis
cover a little about the ready-to-
wear industry in another country.
Since fashion writers from all over
the world were also covering the
institute showings we decided to
speak with one, a Miss Karen Go
rannson of Sweden, who represents
a chain of magazines of the Bon
niers Publishing House. The-ready-
to wear Industry in Sweden is quite
large compared to the population
of the country. Their price brackets
are about the same as ours. Swedish
manufacturers are in close contact
with American styles and fashion
magazines are avidly scanned in
Sweden. In Sweden clothes are
much more functional and tailored.
The Swedish woman is type. Frills
don't become her, Karen claims.
One-half year after style is pre-
sented in New York, Paris, or Lon
don. Swedish women get it in a
version suited to their way of life.
The New Look hit in autumn. It's
Just getting around to arriving in
the new clothes being made in Swe-
den. Sweden is such small coun-
try that oftentimes when walking
down the street in Stockholm, it is
not unusual to meet yourself many
times" she went or to say. :.
Evening star., 1948-01-28

Here in America women have the
advantage of being able to change
outfits through accessories. In
Sweden accessories are much too
expensive to manufacture. We
questioned Karen on career women
She feels that the career woman In
America is not appreciated as much
as she is in Europe. why here, u
she said, "the majority of Ameri-
can men I meet all claim that the
American woman is fighting for two
things-a mink coat and Cadillac. u
In fact, Karen pointed out, it is
not too hard to understand why
they think that way when one reads
stories about American career
women. In them the career girl
is always hardboiled. She always
loses her husband. The home" girl
always gets him. "It Is too bad,
Karen concluded.
Famous hair stylist, Michel, also
claims that fashion is settling down
in its foundations. No longer are
people saying come the revolution" "
It came and now for q long, long
time there will be peace in the
fashion world. He feels that fash
ion today needs clarification. There
are too many fragrant abuses Of it
going on. Take for re example,
my sculptured short hairdo which is
now the sen-sa-sion. People must
know that it is not a feather bob.
1t is classic, sleek, hairstyle." And
now for a prediction from Michel.
New pastel clothes and the new
fashion idea of color going from
head to toe will find women taking
to pastel colors for their hair. These
streaks of pink and what have you
will be primarily just for blonds
and the result will be pink cast to
the hair.
Andspeaking of color from head
to toe. weIl wind UP by telling you
about your new nylon stockings that
will shortly be on hosiery counters
in Washington, D. G. Light ground
print dresses and pastel colored
clothes will be further emphasized
by stockings of face powder" COL
orings. Take your choice of rose,

SWEATING WALLS?
(From Mrs. E. o. G., RockD1lle.)
I am interested in Mr.. w. L. C.'s
letter concerning sweating walls.
We are having the same sort OF
trouble. We have four-room brick
house with storm windows and doors
and insulation in attic floor and
ceiling. This year we changed from
coal-burning furnace to an Oil
burning floor furnace. We, too, have
one register in the hall,' and our
rooms are comfortable. Our walls
do not sweat, but the attic ceiling
does. The moisture seeps through
the insulation and drops on the
floor. A worker on roofs said the
roof is not leaking. The man from
whom we bought the furnace does
not think it is caused by this type
of heat, but it never happened until
this winter. Our attic was warmer
with the old furnace since the hot
air came from registers near the
ceiling. We opened the attic win
dows for circulation of air, but thai
did not help. I am hopeful thai
some reader of RICH knows the
answer to this problem. We will
be most grateful for help.
