Introducing Scandinavia
Denmark

SCENERY
What Denmark Looks Like and
What There Is to Look At.
AS you can see from the map,
Denmark consists of 500 islands
most Of which are kept apart by
bridges-the bigger ones, at any
rate. A bridge between Funen and
Zealand is the only one lacking
for the present.
Denmark is low-lying-from ap-
proximately four feet below sea
level to $40 feet above it. 1t makes
up for being low by being beauti-
full. At any rate, it is a pleasant
country to look at. Denmark has a
smile for everybody who likes to
see a smile, just as some other
countries shout with laughter or
look sad or even positively gloomy.
An English writer once declared
that Denmark resembled a red
cow in an enormous green field.
Add that it is gay COW and a
pleasant field and the remark is
true enough. But there are also
broad streams and blue lakes about
the country, idyllic fjords, beaches
where water laps the white sand,
unexpected cliffs that you can fall
over if you lean out too far; there
are stretches of moorland so flat
that you stop believing the world
is round, dunes with masses of
sand almost indistinguishable from
sample of African desert, damp
rich marshes, woods with pale
green beeches and picnic baskets,
and Redbild's heather-covered hills
and dales. Dotted about amongst
it all are thousands of gardens,
surrounding thousands of small
white farms, and ancient parks
surrounding ancient castles that
are haunted by grey and white
ladies who look down from the
mullioned windows upon real white
swans on the green waters of the
moat There are hundreds of gay,
queer, amusing towns where gay,
queer amusing people go around
speaking twenty different kinds
of Danish.
There is a waterfall in Jutland.
1t is four feet high. There are rocks
too-but these are all kept on the
island of Bornholm.

A Tour
Through the Economy

Economic health was under way
in Sweden by 1949 after a slack
ening off in 1913 of the initiation
ary spiral which arose during post
war boom years. In an economic
diagnosis. the ECA Sweden Coun
try Study said: Swedish economy
as whole has been living beyond
its resources"
1948 saw the partial checking
of tension between demand and
supply of goods and services. An
optimistic prediction by the Ma
tional Budget Delegation saw dis
appearance of the inflationary gap
and appearance of internal econ
omic balance as result Of the
1949 development. The validity of
this calculation was, however, dis
puted by industrial representa-
tives.
To unite the nations productive
capacity and consolidate it around
ERP while letting other matters
wait is the Government economic
policy aimed at achieving extern
al balance.
The Social Democratic Govern
ment's post-election program, an
nounced in the fall of 1948, in
cluded the following: balance be-
tween exports and imports by in
creasing exports; priority to ex-
ports in the granting of industrial
and residential building permits,
the ALLEGATION of import licenses,
and the extension of credits; in
creased production and close CO.
operation between the Govern
ment. industry, and labor; a re-
duction of consumption; increased
savings and volume of invest
ments within the amount of saw
ings by curtailing less necessary
Investments; restriction of credit
but without raising the interest
rate; maintain overbalancing of
the State working budget; and
finally, sterilization Of prices and
money incomes.

Owing to geographical conditions
there are several smaller hospitals
with relatively primitive equip
ment. In every main part of the
country there are, however, central
hospitals with specialists n d
modern equipment for diagnosis
and treatment.
Thanks to a vigorous campaign
and the introduction of new me-
thods in the years before the war
there was a distinct decrease in
the number of tuberculosis cases.
A new feature in the war against
tuberculosis is compulsory x-ray
control combined with BEG, vac
cination. Norway has a we'll de-
veloped system of prenatal and
infant health control.

fishermen and seamen, and there
is even optional, voluntary men,

CUES our race--the cause of ig-
norance.
The records are there to be seen
by all--and records don't lie, Ed
Bailey has done more for the
school system in a shorter time
than any we've had, because his
heart, mind and soul is wrapped
into it.
A Bible prophet once said that
a prophet is without honor in
his own country, but that still
doesn't mean that we should treat
this native son that way, A ma
tive son was born to the Jews for
the purpose of enlightening them,
and they dishonored him to such
an extent they erucilied him--to
their own undoing. Being enlight-
ened now, we will know these
things, and why we continue to
make such suicidal mistakes is
simply beyond me. It would take
a long search, and then prehaps
failure, to do what Ed has done.
True he has wrought wonders,
but since he is only mortal, like
the rest of us, let us not expect
miracles of him.
Lets play the game fair. We owe
it to ourselves as well as to him.
If he were doing this great work
elsewhere, no doubt we would be
hanging around some place trying
our best to get him. So since we
have him, let's use our heads and
try to keep him love, respect, and
appreciatate him.
WAKE UP, MALVERN! we al
ready have what we need. Now
for Heavens Sakes, what do we
want? AS for me, l want a l949
Cadillac convertible, but what
need is Jesus.

A short four years ago our
school system was rated among
the most obsolete in the state: no

in the treasure. An ambitious
yaungster born and reared here
had finished with the highest no.
ners to be given by a 9th grade
school. Thence to Shorter college
and finished there again claiming
top honors. Now having seen a
little of school progress elsewhere,
he felt ashamed Of his school back
home. Easily could he have secur-

tiny like Jonah of yore, drove
him to come back home where he
was needed most, and with the

requirements of modern educa-
ton. And just as soon as he gets
this degree, up pops the devil,
who, of course, is ever present,
TO unleash his mighty power "a
gainst him! But, thank God, he
has his left hand free to stave him
off.
He stands today smiling his
same boyish smile, smiling be-
cause he is young, strong, and UNI
