Swedes To Export

known as Three Towns" is SINH

which was made in Sweden before

Too strong in alcoholic content
to be permitted for sale in Swe-

company is now negotiating with

with an architectural firm in Chi
cago, he had good opportunities to
make many observations on the
state of architecture and building
in this country.
II have found that America has
some of the very best architects
in the world but on the common
level the architects are not so good
or at least they don't show ample
proof of their abilities. The trouble
is that they are too interested in
cOmmercialism and don't give the
people the kind of homes they
should have. In Sweden the archi-
tects educate the people, give
them homes that are practical and
suit their purposes. However AM
erican building is much more var
led and that's refreshing"
Goran has an explanation for
the landslide success of American
commercialism: the lack of pro-
portions, the lack of a sense of
cultural values. This he attributes
to the youth of the country as
such, the ideals of rugged individ-
ualism, the expression of the pio-
neer spirit, still persisting.
Americana are afraid of plan
ming" says Goran, who speaks
English remarkably well. "Actu-
ally planning does not mean rigid
control if ii is done democratical-
ly, but progress and greater har-
mony in given field of activity.
Americas failure TO plan for the
future in many fields is putting il
80 or even 100 years behind the
times. City and regional planning
is quite essential over here"

Eventually he hopes to con-
struct a baseball and football field
and possibly a shooting range on
the site. He is also extremely in
terested in sponsoring instruction
in swimming and diving in his
Hollywoodtyle pool. But above
all he's interested in creating an
attractive outdoor meeting place
for Scandinavians.
"Skovheim could be the right
place to improve relationships be-
tween the Scandinavian groups, a
place where they can get together
and feel at home," he says. 81

navians because they are more
honest people and of course I'm a

Already large number of
Scandinavians have visited Skov-
helm.
Gangnes plans to rent Skovheim
to some couple before the end of
this year, when he will travel to
California on vacation trip. Next
year he plans to go to his native
Norway, which he last visited in
1927.
Ex-Miner and Hollywood
Prop Man
Born on small farm near Oslo,
Norway, he came to the U. S. in
1909 and has been employed
through the years as a gold miner
in Boise, Idaho, and Alaska; a
lumber man and carpenter, and
even a Hollywood prop man in
the era of silent pictures. He
worked in pictures featuring such
stars as Fatty Arbuckle, Gloria
Swanson, Mabel Norman, Rudolph
Valentino, etc.
He has crossed the Atlantic five
times, been to Alaska twice and
covered most of the territory in
these United States. He started
working on his Skovheim home
without any definite purpose in
mind except to build a place to
live, during the depression years
and has resided there since then.
Those who are interested in his
resort project are urged to con-
tact him at the address mentioned
above.
The Scandinavian American
along with all Scandinavians in
this area would certainly welcome
smorgasbord resort for Scandi-
navians at Skovheim. And we
sincerely hope his wonderful,
unique dream will come true.

After year and half in Swe-

over to America and studied Eng
lish and journalism at Stanford
University during the past year.
A few weeks ago he went to the
French summer camp on Vancou-
yer Island. Everyone was sup
posed to speak French. Jan was
sort of regarded as a Swede at
the camp and there was a French
professor who had been in Swe-
den and was interested in Swe-
dish. So bunch of students, in
GLIDING some with a Scandinavian
background in Minnesota, and the
professor ganged up and got Jan
to teach them the Northern lam

Jan, however, is not particularly
interested in teaching Swedish. He
wants to be a newspaper cores

back to Sweden some day and re-
port to the world what's going on

ity. In August 1947 he arrived
in Sweden, without being able to
speak a word of Swedish. He got
a handful of Stockholm addresses,
where he might find place to

Quicker Than Mother and Dad
Danielson, who took a bachelor
degree in journalism at the Uni
versity of Washington last March,
will have the unusual experience
of visiting Sweden before his par
ents, now residing at East STAN
wood, 80 miles north of Everett.
His father and mother were born
in Narke and Dalarna respective
ly and have not visited their ma
tive Sweden since they came to
this country as immigrants. AS a
result, they loaded his baggage
with gifts for relatives and Cliff
will have to get around if he's to
visit all of them. They are still a
little surprised to know that their
son will be the first member of the
family to see the old country after
all these years.
Nearly Landed in Sweden
Il have heard so much about
the economic and social progress
in Sweden that decided to go over
there and see it myself" says Cliff,
who was tail gunner with the
American air force in England
during the war.
Once when we were flying over
Germany we were almost shot
down and it looked like we were
going to make a forced landing in
Sweden" he says. I'm telling
you, 1 was pretty tickled about
that. But I never got the chance,
we landed in the allied-occupied
part of Belgium instead"

to find journalistic work in Swe-

Carlyn Anderson is also enthusi-
astic about studying in Sweden,
where his grandparents were born.
His parents, living at Mt. Vernon,
were born in the U. S., but he has
been in contact with Swedish Gus

He is a student of economics and
wants to find out a number of

eminent is operated and what

 Meeting and Party

The Carrie Circle met Tuesday evening in the church parlors of the Presbyterian Church. Mrs. Will helm Jordan was hostess with Mrs. Louie Lemieux assisting.
 The room was beautifully dec orated with festive Christmas dee- orations and the hostess had placed in the center of the table a Christ mas box for gifts to be exchanged by all those attending, with stream CTS going to each plate, that had been secured to a gift.
 As this was the last meeting of the present Carrie Circle, the mem bers expressed their regrets. Mrs Frank ". zepp expressed her ap- preeiation to the members for the cooperation given her by the mem bers during the past two years while she was president of the club.
 The group decided to hold a pot luck dinner sometime in the frs. part of January at the H. B. Thorn quist home.
