Danish Theater Will abound With
Interesting Events This Season

Copenhagen critics report that
this year the Danish Theater will
abound with new and interesting
events. The Royal Theater, be-
sides the usual classics, will play
Strindberg's "The Father and
AnOuilh's "Leocadia" and several
new Danish plays. Scandinavia,
as a whole, is all excited about the
prospect of seeing Ibsen's "The
Wild Duck" played by a troupe of
Negro players from Howard Uni
versity, but no: bit more than
the players themselves.
Any American tourist who feels

Trip To Norway Discloses What
Norwegians Need Most OF All

Arnold Sund, owner of the Nor
way Pacific Importing Company
has shipped about $4,000 pack
ages of food and articles to II
European countries during the
past five years. Naturally a great
number of them were sent to Nor
way, and when he went there this
summer he decided he would try
TO find out what the Norwegians
need most of all. He did.
Sund, who visited his father Ak
sci Sund in Naeroy in Namdalen,
now about to celebrate his S0th
birthday, gave several packages
of American coffee and sugar or
rice to his friends.
i've never seen such delighted
people before in my life" he says,
adding that Norwegians nowadays
are only allowed three ounces of
coffee per person a week and their
coffee certainly doesn't measure
up to our high-quality brands. He
said there was a shortoge of sug-
ar, although there was a good
supply of tea on hand. Only chill
dren may buy chocolate Last Aug
ust the Norwegians received rice
for the first time since 1910. Last
Christmas they got only seven
prunes per person. The cheese ra-
tons were lifted a short time ago,
but We're later introduced again.
There is no dried fruit available
and to make matters worse, the
fruit crop this fall was not good

People in Norway are well
dressed especially the children,
despite the fact that clothes are
expensive and generally have poor
quality, he says. A mans suit
costs from 2S5 to 525 kroner. It's
almost impossible to get any kind
of cotton material.
Packages Great Help
Sund says that the large num-
Der of American gift packages sent
to Norway have been a great help
to the Norwegians, who appreci-
ate them very much. People said
it was harder to get merchan-
disc now than a year ago, blam-
ing it more or less on the pres
