that organization. He said he
didn't think he had ever believed
in the forceful overthrow of the

Mr.. Wadleigh said he knew Mr.
Hiss in his State Department

they were members Of the same

as the Government alleges, Mr.
Wadleigh said he thought of Mr..
Hiss in those days as "a very

her body. The nurse had no chic
oform or other anasthetic. Father
wrung his hands, looked away.
T here were complications.
Mother was writing convulsive-
ly. The labor produced terrific
strain on her. The nurse seemed
flustered, almost incapable of
handling the situation. The in
FAINT would not come as it should.
The nurse called for father. To-
gether they sought to relieve
mothers painful situation. Moth
er's breast heaved violently as
though she were on the final lap
of an eXhausting death-struggle.
Even at this moment, the nurse
seemed terribly confused.
Then the infants legs began to
protrude outward. 1t had chosen
to come backward with feet first.
1t was a tedious process and it
seemed never to end. When the
nurse finally held the infant in
her hands it appeared to be utter
ly lifeless. She began beating it
violently, too violently father
thought. But still there was no
sign of life. Then on the spur of
the moment, father grabbed the
little creature from the nurse,
who shouted word of protest.
Father spanked it good and hard.
The infant finally uttered that
first anguished cry of hopeless
ness.
Mothers body was as still as
a corpse. AS the story goes
and it has since been proven-the
nurse did not handle the after
math properly Her ignorance
had inflicted wounds that would
never completely heal.
Mother and her child were
quite i'll and ill at ease with the
world months after it happened.
They made slow progress on the
long, winding road to recovery.
There seemed to be very little
reward in life for the great sac
rifice. labor and pain involved in
the making of that little helpless
creature, now writing these
lines.
I was named Nimrod. Mother
thought it was dreadfully
poor name, but father insisted.
He said he was giving me the
name of a very ambitious hunter.

Little Things

So give to me, I only beg.
A little roof to call my own,
A little cider in the keg,

Take wealth, take fame, but

what kind of a creature he isl"
Father insisted.
Months passed and mothers
and fathers thoughts were in
creasingly attracted to the land
of promise, where father hoped
to build a bright new future for
his family. He had arranged
the visa in Stockholm, he made a
short visit to Norway to say
farewell to his relatives and
mother, who wept and gave him
Gods blessings. After he re-
turned to Varmeland, he and
mother arranged a public auc-
ton on some of their personal
belongings, which were not very
impressive-looking to the world
and were sold for meager sums.
The rumor that fathers uncle
Alexander, h d bequeathed his
entire farm to him before he died,
was unfounded, but Alexander
left, 1000 crowns in cash to him
and that alone was enough to stir
up indignation among less for
tunate relatives.
Mothers parents also shed
tears over her and tried to make
her stay, but most of the villag-
ers eventually regarded their
American trip as commonplace.
Afterall, the Petersons, Olsons,
,Carls S, Lunds, Lundbergs,
Lundstroms, Bergs, Backmans,
Backstroms, Stroms, Strombergs,
Lunds, Lundstroms, Johnsons,
Johansons in and around the
community had left, one after the
other, and they couldn't remem-
Der when.
Mother and father and their
child left the village one after
noon in a horse-drawn wagon
taking them to Karlstad, where
they boarded a train for Goth
enburg. The seaport city seemed
to be hustling and busting with
what the Swedes call "amerika-
feber" and mother and father en-
countered many persons about to
n a. ha Il
of life. Some of them were just
boys, only recently accustomed
to wearing a hat. Some We're
leaving poverty to find fame and
fortune; some were leaving a job
that needed to be done on the
farm; others were leaving a
sweet girl back home to later be-
come lonely bachelors in big city
deserts of stone, on desolate
plains, or secluded woods of
America. Yes, some would per-
haps lose the sense of identifi-
cation with life they acquired in
Sweden and become anonymous
in Americas swarming mass of
humanity. But the overwhelm- .
ing majority would help build
America, make it richer, bigger,
greater.
If one could read the minds of
all these immigrants one would
find they had a genuine Swedish
trait in common. They were no
towards, not a single one came
to steal and betray, they were
willing to work, hard and long,
to get what they wanted, for
that was bred in them. They
were also bred with a sense of
freedom and independence and
honesty and even if they, like all
others, would be prone to come
under the magic spell of Amer
ica'S great god Mammon they
were to become known for their
steadfastness. So they came to
give and not to take.

The story of Norwegian
and Swedish Immigrants
centered on the family life
and adventures of B.jOrn
JOhansen and Elsa Larson,
as told by their son.
Scandinavian American. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1945-1958, 1949-09-13

as told by their son.
Father, Norwegian fisher
man, left his native country
for Sweden, where he met and
married Elsa Larson; they are
confused and relatives are en-
ragged by rumor that they
would inherit a farm belonging
to fathers uncle: yet they have
resolved to go to America.
Months had passed and one of
the worst winters Sweden had
experienced for many years un-
furled its thick heavy blankets
of snow upon the frozen earth.
Powerful winds dashed against
the land, whipped up snow drifts
as high as house roofs. A con-
tinuous cold spell had frozen
everything into state of immo-
bility. The Northern Lights,
flaring across the sky in a kalei-
doscopic panorama of color, ap-
peared to be the only force ca
pable of breaking the monotony
of the long dark winter nights.
One dark night a faint light
glowed in the little red cabin on
Uncle Alexander's farm lands. 1t
barely lit up the far corners of
the kitchen, where father was
walking about nervously. Once
he stopped to look out the Win
dow. Then he said:
why doesn't she come, Imag-
inc waiting for nurse at a time
like this! You need real doc
tor, Elsa, you should be in hos
pital, have real care"
MY mother moaned, sometimes
she shrieked as she felt the pangs
of approaching child birth. The
crucial moment was approaching
sooner than expected and with it
stalked mans greatest foe, Fear
the fear in their hearts. There
was something oddly captivating
and yet horrible in being alone in
the cabin without having any as
surance of the outcome of bat
tie of flesh within flesh, stirring
instincts and emotions never be-
fore sensed. If there ever was
time when mother was in need
of comfort it was certainly felt
when flesh of her own flesh was
about to thrust itself from her
womb. There was no comfort in
thinking that she would hear
that anguished cry of utter help
lessness alone with father. They
had hurriedly sent for the nurse
in the village as mother had sud-
denly become very ill. They
prayed to God that she would
come soon.
There was a knock on the
door. The nurse entered the
room, shook off the snow on her
clothes with brisk, energetic
movements. She walked over to
mother, lying in the kitchen on
a sofa, examined her quickly.
This comes too soon," she
cold 1vorriadlv
Water was heated in big ba-
sin on the kitchen stove. The
nurse ordered father to clear off
the kitchen table. She said the
sofa would make it uncomfort-
able for her to work. She said
mother must be lifted upon the
table, where the light was shin
ing directly above. Two blankets
were placed on the table; they
didn't bother to put sheets on
top of them. Mother was lifted
with great difficulty upon the
table. Once she shrieked from
bitter pain as her body was con-
torted. The shift seemed to in
crease her pain. She wondered
if il was necessary.
Father had done everything
the nurse had told him to do.
Now he walked away to one side
of the room, turning his back to
the table.
