MR.. PRESEDENT-IN 1889!

Al century and half is not long in the
history of nations and it is hard for Amer
leans to realize, at times, that the United
States is comparatively youthful, scarcely
yet touching anywhere near maturity.
Just one hundred sixty-years ago, on
April 80, 1889, George Washington took
the oath of office in New York and be-
came the first President of the United
States. The life of the young republic was
a matter of misgiyings abroad and there
was considerable concern in the late colo
MES lest the people refuse to support the
newly established union.
The vast natural resources available,
together with the industry and applica-
ton of our early settlers, combined to
make possible the greatest economic de-
velopment that the world has seen. Some
part of our growth can be attributed, no
doubt, to the wise decision of the young
nation to have free trade between the
several states

"UNTAPPED FOOD RESERVE

We are unimpressed by the announce
ment that three-year study of the food
contenteaf plants indigenous to Central
American countries has uncovered a @,yast
untapped food reserve
The experts conducting the survey
analyzed nearly one thousand samples,
representing more than two hundred kinds
of food from plants collected in Honduras,
Guatemala, 81 Salvador, Costa Rica.
Nicaragua and Panama. They found
three common weeds that yielded high
values for calcium, iron, the B-vitamins,
thiamin and riboflavin and vitamin C.
They also contained carotene and niacin.
The revelation will not satisfy the

people seek in food is taste and enjoy

health.

Express Liners
To Give Tourists
Treat Off Norway

For the first time since the war
the Norwegian express coastal lin
ers will this summer take foreign
tourists to North Norway. Due to
reconstruction needs these liners
have SO far been excluded from
taking ordinary tourists.
The four modern vessels which
will operate the service along the
great stretch of coastline from
South to North Norway are Mid
night Sum-" "Erling Jarl," IVES
teraalen" (soon to be completed
at an Italian shipyard) and "St.
Svithun." Each of the ships will
receive 20 reservations for for
eign tourists on each trip. Half
of them for Americans.
The cruise up the 1,00O-mile
coastline through fjords and be-
tween countless islands, to towns
far beyond the Arctic Circle, has
always been extremely popular.
The voyage from Bergen in South
west Norway to Kirkenes on the
Norwegian-Soviet frontier n d
back to Bergen takes II days.
The inclusive cost is $50 kroner or
less than 80 dollars. Calls are
made at some ~ to Is towns, and
notable sights include the only
glacier that runs into the sea, and,
of course, North Cape, Norway's
northernmost point. Many of the
fjords en- route are extremely mar
row and difficult to navigate, and
through these the express liners
must sail at top speed to overcome
! dangerous currents.
North Norway was completely
devastated by the Germans during
the war, but is now once more OPP
en- to tourists. New hotels have
been built which are among the
most up-to-date in Norway.
