1oscanini Signs
Norway Artist

Miss Eva Gustavson, young
Norwegian mezzo-soprano, who
arrived in the United States last
fall with an Edwin Ruud scholar
ship for young Norwegian and
Swedish singers, has been selected
by Arturo Toscanini to sing a
leading role in his Forthcoming
broadcasts of Aida
When Maestro Toscanini's son
Walter happened to hear her, he
lost no time in telling his famous
father, who was searching for
someone to sing the part of Am
neris. The result was a contract.
Toscanini's performance of Aida"
with the NBC Symphony will be
given in two parts, March 26 and
April 2. Herva Nelly, soprano,
who performed in Toscanin's pro-
duction of "Otello" last season,
will sing the role of Aida, and
Richard Tucker, tenor, and Gui-
seppe Valdengo, baritone, both of
the Metropolitan Opera, will be
the other principals.
After receiving her vocal train
ing in Oslo, Miss Gustavson at
tended the Opera School in Stock
holm for three years followed by
intensive study in France and
Italy. Her debut recital in Oslo in
1916 was sensation, and her pre-
sentation of Carmen" at the Ma
tional Theater during the 1947-4S
season earned her the Oslo critic S
award for the seasons most out
standing performance. Despite her
youth, Miss Gustavson has al
ready acquired a considerable
repertoire.

Norway's Foreign Minister
Harvard Manthey LANCE, 46. be-
longs to an old Norwegian family
including many members who
have been in government service.
His father, Christian Louis LANCE,
who died in 1888, was a doctor of
philosophy, historian and Secre-
tary General of the League of Ma
tons, and in 1921 co-recipient with
K. H. Branting of Sweden of the
Nobel Peace Prize.
A native of Oslo, Harvard LANCE
received his education in Oslo,
Brussels, Geneva and at the Lon
don School of Economics. He re-
manned in London as an assistant
secretary of the international Eel
lowship of Reconciliation from
1928 until 1926, and then returned
to the University of Oslo, where
he received his masters degree in
languages and history in 1929.
In the early 'thirties, while pur-
suing a career as teacher, particu-
larly of economic history and mod
ern political history, he became
an active member of the labor
party and held several important
appointments. He wrote a number
of books: History of the Norwe-
gian Trade Union Movement in
Norway" "Nazi and Norway
$3.50, Advance of Labor Move
ment" and several others.
Having lived for many years
abroad in an international milieu,

foreign politics since nearly a
child. A scholarly type, tall and

An idealist, but strongly rooted
in realities, Mr.. LANCE thinks that
justice and good will should domi-
nate international relations. He
will stick firmly to a point of view
which according to his opinion is
serving these purposes. His career
during the war Is very character
istic. During the first part of the
war Mr.. LANCE was ordered to
Sweden to do some important
work. He might have stayed there.
He went back to Norway, how
ever, and was soon arrested by
the Germans. Some months later

The City of Ballard was official
ly annexed to the city of Seattle
in 1907.
That called for rioting
Millworker and lumberjack in
habitants of the sprouting settle
ment hauled off and hit anyone
who liked the idea of annexation
Their wives, also peeved at Seat
ties octopus tendencies, hung
black crepe on Ballard City Hall.
Billiards. residents, sturdy Scan
dinavians hailing from the plains
of the Dakotas and the woods of
Minnesota, looked upon the chunky
pines of Ballard and the clam-rich
beaches as distinctly their prop
erty. The scattering of non-Scan-
dinavian residents of Ballard held
a brotherly alignment with this
view.
The Ballard people We're so ac-
lively against the annexation that
the jail was full. But when the
late Charles Capp, former Ballard
Health Director, went to inspect
the Jail and opened the door-an
the prisoners walked out and an
nexation was an accepted unpleas-
antnesS
Since that day the City of Sc
attic hasn't had a minutes peace
from the former City of Ballard.
The Ballard residents have had the
last word after all-for if any city
got annexed it was Seattle, and
not Ballard.
Those We're the brawling, RI
bald days of the 1900's. Seattle
was the gateway to the gold of the
North. Ballard was a squalling
brat of a settlement on Seattle's
western outskirts. Ballard was
filled with shingle and saw mills
and timber grew in the backwards
of the logging operators.
Today Ballard is city within
a city. OF Seattle's 100000 pop
ulation, at least 100000 are Bal
lard residents, and although a
part of Seattle, Ballard is consid-
cred the fourth city in the State
of Washington.
Most people have forgotten the
official reason for Billiards. an
nexation. The reason; Ballard
had no water system. Today Bal
lard is custodian of the second
largest inland waterway in the
world. Construction of Ballard
locks, second only in size to the
Panama Canal, and opened in
1918, cost $4,000, 900. Built by
the U. S. Army Engineers, the
system of locks in length is s35
feet, in width so feet, with a con-
trolling depth of 81 feet. Extreme
depth is So feet one of the
most important water systems
hereabout, A smaller lock is 120
feet long and 80 feet wide, for use
of pleasure craft. Ballard locks
form a passageway from Puget
Sound through Lake Washington
and Lake Union, enabling vessels
to sail from the open salt sea to
inland waters.

If you're going to use left
over wallpaper motif, just cut
out the design, turn it over and
measure it off into one and
one-half inch or one and three
quarter inch strips.
You'll find the visibility
area" of your Venetian blind
Stats when closed conforms to
either one of these two meas
urements. Mark off your
placement area for the design
with colored chalk which cam
not harm any furniture finish
and erases easily if you do a
little experimenting.
Use Library Paste
Now, cut the strips of WALL
paper and if not already paste
treated, use ordinary library
paste in applying it to the
blinds. Start from the top of
the design. You will find that
if you merely keep the bottom
of your strip even with the bot
tom of the slat, you need then
only line up the actual con-
tinuity of the design. Your
paste dries slowly enough so
that you have ample time for
the bit of shifting needed.
A carefully cut out and past
ed design will adhere fatty
enough to your Venetian blind
Stats, though it doesn't hurt to
exercise a little extra care in
busting.
And as far as washing goes,
most wallpaper is washable. To
enamel or lacquer down the
motif isn't too desirable since
tests show that even the clear
est enamel or lacquer slightly
darkens the slat.
Decals Are Attractive
Decals, too, can transform a

Time To Honor Homemakers

@AOAAOA
Homemakers who have benefited
from home demonstration work of

more than 2,100 home demonstra-
tion club members as we'll as a mil
lion and half members through
out the nation-are celebrating
this week MAY ID as National
Home Demonstration Week.
They seek, by acquainting other
women with its advantages, to ex-
press their gratitude for the ma
tional education project which
brings women the latest homemak-
ing information without a charge.
Delaware women in II home DEM
onstration clubs will hold exhibits,
open houses and special meetings
to show Others in the community
their achievements. Originally de-
signed for rural women only, the
service has now been expanded in
some areas of Delaware to include
urban homemakers, since problems
of food, clothing, shelter and fam
lily life are shared by all home
makers. -E
Homemakers in the city and
country alike will agree that the
home demonstration service, car
ried on capably in each county by
a home demonstration agent, ac-
complishes its purpose of helping
women have more abundant
home and community life.
