Folk Dancers to Scandinavia

People all over the world need to
understand each other as people.
We hope that our little project
will help further this cause. 1t
will give some people in Scandin-
avia better understanding of our
folk dances. Certainly there are
not many of them who even know
they exist! Someday, perhaps, a
real Scandinavian folk dance group
will show us authentic Scandinav-
ian folk dancing over here in ex-
change"
The university group also plans
to learn some new, fancy and au-
thentic folk dance steps while in
Scandinavia. Then, too, of course,
they're going to have the time OF
their lives!

The fact that Amy is now plot

only 40 survived and graduated.
The Daily is published four days

her staff so that everything is

From Scion On
Danish GROUP

Congressman Hugh B. Mitchell,
of the first district in Washington,
recently had discussions with a
group of representatives of the
Danish Trade Unions, now touring
the U. S. in Washington, d. c.
In a letter to K. Einar Carlson,
publisher of the Scandinavian
American, he writes as follows:
Just returned from a very en-
joyable and informative lunch with
the Danish representatives, who
have been studying our produc-
ton methods in the United States.
1t was especially interesting to
me to find how much progress
had been made in Danish rehabili-
tation since my visit to Denmark
in 1945 Immediately after the end
of the war in Europe.
At that time the Danish Foreign
Minister Christmas MOller was
fearful that there would no no
markets for Danish agricultural
commodities. The representatives
here told me that their exports
were now working out quite salts
factorily.
The individual members were
impressed with industrial produc-
ton here and thought they would
have some practical suggestions to
carry back to Denmark.
With every god wish and best of
personal regards,
Sincerely yours,
Hugh B. Mitchell"

Swedish Invention
Simplifies Surveys

A Swedish surveying instrument
operating with a margin of error
of only a few centimeters per ten
kilometers and with a range of
80 kiiometers was said by experts
to revolutionize surveying tech
niques when demonstrated at the
recent International Surveyors
Conference in Lausanne.
The instrument which has been
designed by the Swedish geologist
E. Bergstrand, combined wi h
surveying by helicopter is expect
ed to be of great Importance for
mapping areas thus far not sub
jected to accurate survey. Also
noted were some other S W e d h
achievements in the same field,
Among them new methods for cal

Sweden Is Now
Making Movies
In 8 Languages

In order to reach a greater in
ternatiOnal m rket, Terrafilm
one of Sweden's leading film COM
panies, has established a prOduc-
ton set-up to make films in three
languages - Swedish, French and
English.
The first picture to be made I'm
der this new arrangement has just
been completed. 1t is called Sin
goalla," and is based on a novel
by the Swedish poet and philoso-
pher Viktor Rydberg (1828-1895).
The story, placed at the time
when the big plague ravaged great
parts of Europe, tells of a young
nobleman's love for gypsy girl.
The cost of the production is said
to be about one million dollars,
which is some twelve times the
cost of the average Swedish film.
Viveca Lindfors and Christopher
Kent, prominent Swedish screen
stars, have the leading roles. The
picture has been staged by the
French director Christian-Jaques,
and the screen play was written
by the American actor, Romney

cast.

demonstrated how successfully art,
music, and the theater can be
brought to all parts of a city Dur.
ing the past three months. sc free
programs have been presented in
the various city parks. A mobile
stage, provided by the municipal
ity, has brought the best of Oslo's
talent to the different neighbour
hoods. Theater, ballet, concerts by
the Oslo Symphony. and various
soloists have provided a we'll
rounded series of programs.
Developed since the war, the
programs have now passed the ex-
perimental stage, and early uncer-
tainties as to how an audience of
factory workers. for example,
might accept a play by Shakes

The support of the National

Through DIR. Walter Johnson, pro-

came acquainted with DR.. Krook,
who stopped in Seattle last sum-
mer on an extensive tour of the
United States. DR.. Krook saw the
group perform at the state fair in
Snohomish, heard of their plans,
liked them, and got the Swedish
society interested in the project
in a remarkably short time. The
group was most fortunate in re-
ceiving his whole-hearted support.
Went Over Big-Like Rolling
SNOWFALL
Tracie's idea originated when he
was a student in Stockholm. At
first he thought about the pos
sibilities of making motion pic
lures in sound of Scandinavia's in
spring folk festivals, capture the
spirit and original music of these
events right on the spot. After he
returned to Seattle and launched
the university folk dance club,
sponsored by the schools Scandin-
avian department, last year, he
told fellow students about his plan
and finally the idea, like rolling
snow ball, was enlarged, gained a
lot of enthusiastic support, and
the consensus was that the men,
