Good Things to Eat
At a Halloween Party
BY Violet Faulkner
Food Editor

HALLOWEEN, the night to
Ill start the party season off
with a bang, Is a night of fun
for the youngsters. But plan
the fun, or it may we'll turn
into a night of mischief. A
Halloween party Is every
child's delight and informality
is the rule for such a gather
ing. Witches, black cats and
grimacing pumpkin faces are
the traditional decorations,
with orange and black the
color scheme.
It's a long way from the
superstitions connected with
the origin of Halloween to
the frolic we think of today,
but the "spookiness" fingers
on. Halloween originated
with the Druids as a religious
ceremony. The Druids lighted
huge altar fires to frighten
away evil spirits. On ALL
hallow eve these fires were
extinguished and relighted.
Glowing embers from the
affairs were carried home by
the villagers to kindle new
fires on their own hearth
stones.
The ancient Romans cele-
brated Allhallow eve to honor
Pomona, the goddess of fruits
and gardens. Today, we con-
tinue the old superstitions OF
harvest time with the use of
pumpkins, corn and witches
but it's all in fun.

Bomber nose tips and landing
craft, toilet cases and linen bags,
phone instrument boxes and dia-
pers = everything nowadays is
made of plastic. Evolution in our
present world is making gigantic
strides and before we know it we
find ourselves on the threshold of
the Plastic Age. What is really
plastic? This is a question often
asked by the general public when
ever this new wonder stuff is men,
toned. Though daily handling lit
tie gadgets made of plastic, our
ideas of this material are as a rule
vague. The expert might try to
explain it by saying that it is the
collective term for a number of
artificial resins of different kinds
So, that's what it is, you'll say, no
wiser than before. However, to
call it "Ersatz" as often done is
questionable since plastics in many
cases have proved to possess prop
critics superior to the material they
replace.
In recent years, the Swedish ma
ton has turned quite plastic-mind-
ed and Sweden is at present a
good runner-up to the United
States in per capita consumption.
AS a result, Sweden nowadays pos
sesses a comprehensive plastic in
dustry capable of asserting itself
in the world markets.
Stockholms Superfosfat Fabriks
ALB is one of the pioneers in this
new branch of industry and at this
cOmpany's establishments Stock
viksverken just outside Sundsvall
more raw material for plastic is
produced than anywhere else in
Scandinavia. This years produc-
ton is estimated at no less than
5000 tons plastic powder such as
Polysinyl chloride and Melamine
and Mea products. Besides the
neighboring Scandinavian nations,
large quantities of Stockviksverk-
en- products are finding their way
to continental countries.

Diversified Enterprise

However, the Fosfat Company
is a highly diversified enterprise
and plastic production at Stock
viksverken is only minor frac-
ton of its operations. The COM
pany is Sweden's largest electro
chemical enterprise with number
of plants throughout the country,
its own quarries, power stations,
research stations, factories at
Trollhattan, Ljungav erk and
Stockvik. Production is chiefly
based on calcium carbide which is
finding willing purchasers all over
the world from India to South AM
erica. A subsidiary, Svenska Car
bidkontoret in Gothenburg, is
handling the manufacture and
sales of its renowned acetylene-
welding equipment. In addition,
the Fosfat Company to date has
become Sweden's largest manufac-
turer of nitrogen fertilizers, it's
production covering 500 of the
country's requirements during the
years of isolation.
Stockholm Exposition
Nevertheless, the most fascinat-
ing productive branch is plastics.
Pevikon, Mepal, Melurit etc. may
seem pure Greek to the animated
but your very inquisitive cor
respondent dropped in on Mr..
TIL. Lindstrand, one of the Fosfat
Company's plastic experts, who
forthwith inducted us into the
world of plastics visualized in the
form of an attractive and instruc-
tive exposition.
The company doesn't bother
much about demonstrating it's own
products = the raw material pow
der in small bottles labelled with
the above strange names = in

made out of plastic. The EXPOSE

International economic coopera-
ton is not a charm that in itself
can solve all our problems, stated
Odd Gjelsvik, who represents Nor
way on the Scandinavian Commits
sion for Economic Cooperation, in
a recent talk. ITO do away with
all customs between the Northern
countries can only be carried out
after detailed preparations. A
common Scandinavian market is
only possible after an extensive CO.
ordination of the economic life in
all the Northern countries has been
established. Indirect taxes and
subsidies of production and trade
must be coordinated on an even
basis, and the production in each
country must be given equal condi
tions. Denmark will gain most by
a Northern Customs Union, but
free Northern market will also be
advantageous to Sweden. Norway,
on the other hand, has much less

Great Coordination Of Economic Life
In Scandinavian Countries Is Foreseen

to gain than any of the other
countries.
Through a customs union Swe-
den will be able to increase its
export of iron and steel products,
glass, textiles, and footwear, while
Denmark will be able to export
more electro-technical goods, tex
tiles and footwear. Norway should
be abel to slightly increase it's ex-
port of ferro-alloys, aluminium, nj
trate fertilizers and probably tim
Der products, but on the whole the
advantage to the Norwegian in
dustry of a customs union would
be very modest"
The work to increase such a
cooperation is, however, proceed
ing and among the questions under
consideration is the closer cooper
alton between the Swedish Iron
and Steel industry and the new
Norwegian Iron Works now under
construction in North Norway.

Swedish Am. Church ESQ Years Old

Gloria Del Church. oldest edificf
in both Philadelphia and Pennsyl-
vania, founded by the first SIDE
dish settlers who in 1888 estab-
Iished the New Sweden colony on
the banks of the Delaware River,
will observe its 25Oth anniversary
this summer.
The church was built on a place
then known as Wicacoa and was
dedicated July 2, 1900 It's history,
however, goes back to the first
when services were held in a small
log cabin chapel. One proof of
this is the baptismal fount of mar
bic, which was brought from Swe-
den by the first settlers. Another
evidence of the temples venerable
history is the bell, on which is
engraved, Partly from Old Bell
Dated 1913" Because of its age
and the traditions surrounding it,
Gloria Del has been declared a
national shrine among other Amer
ica's most treasured landmarks.
On June 4. the first of q series of
memorial services was held. They

Swedish Geese Eggs
Hatched In America

Geese eggs from Skane, Swed-

been flown across the ocean to
the University of Minnesota, in
Minneapolis, where they have been
successfully Matched under t h e
observation of Thomas II. Can
field, associate professor of poul-
try husbandry. Placed in an incu-
bator the day of their arrival, the
eggs yielded four goslings, The
species is larger than domestic
geese, and an attempt will be
made to propagate a flock of
Swedish geese for experimental
purposes If the goslings mature.

Plastics Have Come To STAY
Plastics are quite inexpensive

and, finally, can be produced in
such sparkling colors, Mr.. Lind
strand emphasizes. Thousands of
Swedish workers are nowadays

properties characterizing plastics,
everything points to the fact that
