The idea of a Morse old peoples
home had its birth twenty years
ago in the minds of a few men,
bers of Left Erikson Lodge No. 1,
Sons of Norway. The idea was
approved by the Lodge of the
State of Washington at Lake Good
win about eighteen years ago.
Solicitation of funds, however, has
become more and more a local
affair and most of the funds have
been donated by Scandinavian
Americans and Americans of non
Scandinavian descent living in Sc
attic and the Immediately sur
rounding communities 1t is a fact
that large part of the assets
collected to date are accounted
for by Americans who are of non
Scandinavian ancestry. The Board
of Trustees sincerely hopes that
this financial relationship will be
reversed in order that this may be

Solicitation of funds was we'll
under way by 1910 when the Sec
ond World War broke out. 1t
then became necessary for US to
devote our energies to the solicit
tation of funds for war relief. The
Morse Home was, therefore, nee
essarily neglected for the time be-
ing since considered by all of us
that relief for the destitute in Nor
way, both during and after the
war, was the paramount issue. The
necessity for this relief continued
for a number of years after the
war. Last year, September of 1949.
however, it was decided by the
Board of Trustees to start build
ing just as soon as plans and
specifications could be completed.
An intensive drive for funds was
therefore commenced.
Our assets at the present time
approach 100000 in addition to
the building site which we have
owned for some time. In order
to commence the first unit of the
Home this summer, we are endeav-
ing to negotiate a loan. In order
to accomplish this, there remains
to be solicited approximately $500
900 to $4,000. If these plans sue
coed we hope to commence con-
struction in June or July.
Let us prove to the skeptics that
the Scandinavian Americans of
this community can work together
and complete this long anticipated
work of philanthropy. We are
about to realize our objective. Will
you do your part now to tighten
the laborS of the Board who are
working night and day to see this
job through to a successful termi-
nation? There are few who are
so destitute that they are unable
to contribute. Many are finan-
cially able to make substantial
contributions. The Board of Trust
tees are anxious to have every
Scandinavian American on record
as a contributor to this worthwhile
civic enterprise. VIII you do your
share financially to make this
Home a Morse Home in fact as
well as in name?
You will take everlasting pride
in being listed on the permanent
records in the Home as one of
those who have made it a reality.
To those who have already donat-
ed we are profoundly grateful.
Your donation is material proof
of genuine interest. Now that we
are approaching our objective will
you make every effort to double
your previous subscription now
that we may raise the balance of
approximately 100000 to $4,000
without further delay and thus
make it possible to commence con-
struction at an early date?

Exhibit Of Swedish Arts, Crafts
OPENS At The Seattle Art Museum

The exhibit of Swedish arts and
crafts, announced in the last issue,
opens Wednesday, May 10, in the
Seattle Art Museum. 1t will con-
tinue until June 4.
Assembled by the well known
importers Mats and Siri Djos, the
exhibit will feature the latest and
best in contemporary Swedish arts
and crafts, including ceramics,
textiles, furniture, silver works
etc.
1t will be the first time that an
exhibit of this kind is shown in
an American museum. 1t will also
be one of the first exhibits of its
kind in the Northwest. 1t is de-
signed to promote a better under
standing of Swedish arts and
crafts and undoubtedly should at
tract sizeable crowds during the
long showing in one of the main
galleries of the museum.
Some measure of the good re-
spouse the scheduled exhibit al
ready has received can be deter
mined by the fact that DR.. Rich
ard Fuller, director of the muse
UNI, has endeavored to make it
known to leading and influential
art centers and institutions
throughout the nation. A depart
ment of the University of Wash
ington also plans to take the ex-
hibit on a tour of Washington
cities.

If you were asked to name the
eight smartest animals in the world
which would you choose?
There are many smart animals
and If I make a list of eight,
shall have to leave out some which
are high up. In my list let me sug-
gest these: Chimpanzees, orang-
utans, gorillas, elephants, dogs,
foxes, sea lions and beavers. You
may wonder why I include sea lions,
and I shall try to give good rea-
son for that in an article to be
published during the second half
of this month.
AS to beavers, they surely be-
long high in the scale. They are
woodcutters and engineers, and
they perform amazing deeds.
A man can cut down a tree
with an AK or saw, but a beaver
must use four sharp teeth known
as "incisors." Ever since people
have known about them, these
animals have been cutting trees.
Northern Europe has some men,
bers of the beaver family, but the
most interesting beavers are those
OF Canada and the United States.
Canada has more of them than the
United States.
Beavers sometimes take turns
in cutting tree, but it is rare for
more than two of them to work

a single beaver does all the cut
ting of a tree, and it may fell one
with an eight-inch trunk in a
night of work.
After cutting into the trunk,
beavers may let the wind do the
rest of the work of bringing the
tree to the ground. There are
times, however, when they wait
until they hear the creaking of
the trunk before they scamper
away and watch the tree topple.
Some persons suppose that bea-
vers know just which way a tree
will fall. The truth seems to be
that in many cases, at least, they
are in doubt until the fall takes
place. Trees which lean over the
edge of river or pond will fall
into the water, but beavers some
times cut trees in the woods, and
these may fall 'the wrong way"
If tree is caught by the branch

must do more cutting to bring it

A. The fact that q bid Of one spade

strike us as sufficient reason for dropping

OF two diamonds is in order. Such a bid
Is not forcing in view of the score and
does not necessarily denote great strength
