space running out. these five ex-

we'll worth quoting Fred Lind,

Scandinavians at the Central Bap-

There is a different quality in
the newcomers of today" says he.
And by this he obviously means
that modern progressive Scandi-

Vast Program of Vocational
Training For Norway's Youth

In various fields of enterprise,
Norwegians are making concerted
efforts to provide youth with am
pie opportunities for vocational
training.
As part of a nationwide plan
to train 5000 skilled farm techni-
clans, several new schools have
been opened in Central and South
ern Norway. One of these, Operat-
ed by the Institute of Agricul-
tural Techniques. at Sparbu, from
delag. will give farm youth a
thorough grounding in the theory
and practice of farm mechanics.
During a four months course. stu
dents will be taught the care and
use of modern farm equipment.
Before they graduate, the young
farmers will know how to operate
and repair all types of motors and
farm neutrality-suspicious., self
binders piows, harrows, etc. In
struction will also be given in the
general principles of correct body
movements. A similar course is
scheduled to be given at Aas
Trades School. in Eastern Nor
WAY.

Luck and Love

is devoted to Mrs. Bjarni Olason in
Ballard. She typifies the good
luck story. full of condolences.
Though she is Swedish. we have
captiOned her as Icelandic, because
she married an Icelander in Bal
lard last year. And God only
knows, Iceland, through one of its
sons. has given her what every
woman wants most-a good hus-
band and home. Three years
ago she left Stockholm for the L.

wealthy Dallas, Tex. family. who
paid half of her travelling expenses.
Actually she got the job by adj

course marriage.

Apprenticeship Strictly Regulated
All industry-operated schools in
Norway are now regulated by pro-
visions of the Apprenticeship Act,
which was passed by the Parlia-
ment before adjournment for Sum-
mer vacations.
Under the Act, any Norwegian
between Is and 20 years old, oc-
cupied in a trade or part of
trade covered by the law, is to be
regarded as an apprentice if he
has not previously served his APP
premiership. Excepted from the
law are only those working as
messengers, or in occupations that
do not require any industrial train
ing. Thus most Norwegian en-
ployers will have to make appren-
ticeship contracts with the great
er part of their young employees.
The Act defines the conditions
under which an enterprise will be
allowed to engage apprentices,
what their contracts are TO speci-
fy, obligations of employer and
apprentice. final test to be passed
by the apprentice. etc.
The law provides that the APP
prentice is entitled to leave with
full wages when attending a yo-
cational training school. Cost of
text hooks ard o:sier necessary
school items are to be paid by the
employer.
The apprenticeship is to last for
four years at the most. with time
spent at vocational training
school TO be counted as part OF
the required learning period

IRATE MOOSE WINS BOUT WITH SEWARDITE

A mama moose so thoroughly disliked a Seward resident on their first introduction, that she immediately put on moose-size temper tantrum. The irate lady ripped the sleeve of the mans leather jacket and then pushed him down a 25-foot bank, when they met face to face on what the man had planned to be a bear-hunting expedition.
 The moose was accompanied by one calf. Bloodstains on the snow nearby told a story of ap- parent tragedy in the moose fam fly. Experienced hunters consider it likely that the calf was one of moose twins, and that the sec ond twin had been the main course on a bears dinner menu.
 Fish and Wildlife Service agents report that lady moose are apt to be temperamental at this time of year. Anyone meeting moose in the woods is urged to give the animal all of the right of wa5 she wants-a moose in the proper mood can be more dangerous than a bear.

waterfront" the Times says.
Maritime labor leaders, shipping
industry executives and national
defense authorities decided on the
project at conference in Wash
ington last month. the Times says.
AS a result of this conference

Government employees" the
AFGE publication asserts. And it
is meeting with a considerable
degree of success"
The AFGE charges that the OBJ
jective is to give Government Of
ficials absolute control over Fed
eral employees. and to deprive the
employees of their basic job pro-
lection rights.
Legislation before Congress to
decontralize personnel powers to
the individual departments and
agencies and to curtail appeals and
make 1t easier to fire employees was
cited by the AFGE group as some
of the current steps aimed at
weakening the merit system.
There is a concerted effort to
give Governments top officials
more and more freedom Of action
in both hiring and firing en-
ployes," the AFGE article de-
clared. "We recognize that there
are certain advantages both to
the public and to the Govern
ment's employees in such a situa-
ton.
However, there are also definite
dangers. There are certain times
when civil service red tape holds
up favorable action to employees.
But there are also other times
when it saves jobs for employees
who are arbitrarily dismissed by
oficious officials. 1t offers too
many opportunities for both po-
litical and personal patronage"
