rooms and the reason behind the
violence.
When Miss IaDonna McGrih,
rushing chairman for the sorority,
entered the sorority rooms yester-
day afternoon, she found burners
of q gas stove turned on and the
place wrecked.
Police found spattered paint on
. fire escape at the rear of the
building with footprints in the
paint, indicating that the intru-
der left that way. Entrance could
have been gained by way Of the
fire escape, police pointed out.
Chairs, Hassock Slashed.
Five chairs and a davenport
were burned with acid which had
been thrown all over them. Five
chairs and q hassock had been
slashed with q sharp instrument
and two dressing tables were
hacked and smashed. -Four wall
mirrors were scratched.
Trophies which the sorority had
won were bent and battered.
The walls had been smeared
with purple paint and a small
white card was left behind with
this message:
Zone for the money. two for
the show. three to make ready and
four. to CO."
Walls Smeared With Lipstick.
Lipstick also had been used to
smear the walls and mirrors.
The purple paint was on hand
for the vandal or vandals. sorority
members pointed out, as the girls
last week painted part of the quar-
t and left some of the unused
paint In the bathroom.
Miss McGrif said the furniture
was practically new. having been

been painted recently.

The only person living In the
building is Miss Virginia Kirk

The seven sororities which have
quarters In the building use it
only for social purposes and for
other sorority activities. The girls
do not live in the building.
Miss Kirkbride refused to dis
euss the vandalism with reporters.
Sorority members reported to
police that the only thing stolen
apparently was a silver candle
stick holder. The radio-phono-
graph was not touched but acid
had been spattered on the piano.

Main Street! Like thousands of others, he
has the traditional do-it-yourself spirit
that finds opportunities in todays America
and makes the most of them.
In your own home town, you'll find
another proof that most folks still believe
in taking care of their own-on their own.
1t lies in the fact that 4 out of American

Big Morse Home Scheduled

of the Sons of Norway A total of
about $4,000 were raised at the
time of the German invasions in
Norway and other parts of Europe
occurred. The campaign was halt
ed during the duration of the war
in order to support European aid
drives.
Today 16 ladies guilds, each
comprised of from IL to "a men,
bers, are supporting the campaign.
Each guild has raised on the aver
age about $4,000 to be used for
the purchase of equipment. A
newly started guild in Spokane
has already contributed $500.
The campaign is receiving sup
port from many Norwegians and
others interested in the project,
says Mr.. Ryland, adding that the
building will be constructed next
spring even if the campaign is
not completed by then.

Swedish Infantry
Gets New Weapons

In accordance with the reor-
ganization of the Swedish Infantry,
now in process, this branch of the
Army will be furnished several
new weapons, among them two
highly effective anti-tank guns.
One is a S.4 caliber grenade
cannon, model 194S, which is
heavier than the field artillery
cannon now in use. The gun is
recoil free, with telescope sight
for target accuracy. The other
weapon assigned to the Infantry
is a rocket rifle, model 1949. The
rockets are arrow directed, and
powered by a rocket motor which
is set off by an electric impulse.
The gun only weighs Z Kilograms
(15.5 pounds, and can be manned
by a single operator. The radio
communications equipment has al
so been modernized, and the ma
jority of the new apparatus are
the we'll known American Walkie-
Talkie models.

Visit To Uppsa|a Is Memorable

music recedes as the choral sing
ing begins, and then that too gives
way to the ponde rous hymns
sung by the congregation. The
latter are especially familiar to
the ear of an American brought
up in the Lutheran church and
the veteran of many a Sunday
morning vigil.
After an ample sermon delivered
in slowly and carefully pronounced
words, the youngish-looking min
lister reads a series of announce
ments, among them a sizeable list
of marriage bans.
With the service over. the ST.
lence of the near-empty cathedral
is abruptly and violently broken
by the crying Of two infants un-
dergoing baptism. AS their sobs
dwindle to sniffles, their names
are duly entered, while parents,
aunts, uncles and the shades of
Gustavus Vasa and st. Erik look
On.
