pitcher, started for Hagerstown but
was taken out for a pinch hitter in
the top half of the sixth and Ray

drove in four runs, and the relief
pitching of Ray Bradford, who did
not give up hit in the two innings
that he pitched. Rudy Folbert, the
Brave new outfelder, broke into
the lineup as a pinch hitter for Hig-
ham in the sixth and came through
in fine style with a single that drove
in a run. Tedesco and Perrin also
had an RIB each The Braves other

Wan Winter Festival without the
cooperation OF the Scandinavian
societies and the goodwill of the
community.
l don't know if it will do any
good to offer a few suggestions
for next years celebration but
here they are for whatever they
are worth:
There is at least 300 young
girls of Scandinavian descent
in Ballard from which a Ballard
Queen" could have been chosen
with or without costume on,
and the contestants should be
limited to Ballard girls only
or girls graduated from Ballard
High Scohol.
A real Scandinavian outdoor
Christmas fest" could easily be
arranged with a Christmas tree
and old and young walking and
singing around it just like we did
in the old country.
There's many other typical
Scandinavian customs connected
with Christmas that could be
worked out successfully provided
the committee secured the CO.
operation from the Scandinavian
societies in working out the
plans from beginning to end.
We have several groups of
singing societies. leikarrings and
drillteams that could be utilized.
We have Scandinavians in our
fraternal organizations that I be-
lieve. could be relied on to work
out plans for Winter Festival
that both Ballard and everybody
else could be proud Of.
Ballard is. the typical spot for
such a Festival and let us hope
that next year will show much
better results.

Voieins Ny Opinion on the Ballard Festival
BY A. BJERKESETH

The Scandinavian Oh ri m a S
Festival instigated in Ballard two
years ago could easily have been
one of our biggest attractions on
the coast but unfortunately it
seems to putter out as Just an
other publicity stunt.
When Miss Bernice Jonson
at that time launched the under
taking it sounded swell and most
of the Scandinavian societies in
the whole city of Seattle were 100
percent behind her.
OF course Bernice could not
do it all alone and 80 the COM
mittee was formed and right
from the beginning somebody on
the committee launched the idea
of choosing a Lucia Bride and got
P-1 involved in the affair. That
proved to be the first mistake.
Inc business both the first
and second year got plenty of
publicity but not the kind of
publicity that did the Ballard
business men any good to speak
of. And so much confusion and
disappointment have been con-
nected with the Lucia Bride affair
that Ballard as a community and
the Scandinavians as group
might have been much better off
without the choosing of a Lucia
Bride. Just take a look at the
pitiful interest shown this year
only a handful girls entering the
contest compared to close to 200
the first and second year.
The fact is that every one of
the Scandinavian societies are
thoroughly Disguised with the
Lucia-business for reasons that l
shall not discuss at present.
Nobody can put on a Scandina-
Scandinavian American. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1945-1958, 1950-12-07

Who's Who In Norway

UNDSET, Sigrid, b. 2O/5 1882,
author. Her first novel: "F'ru Mar
tina Guile" $500 was in the
next decade followed by series of
novels and short stories, chiefly
dealing with the problems of wom-
en- in modern life. In 1909 she left
her job and travelled to Rome with
a State scholarship. The result of
this journey was Jenny" (191D,
novel which founded her repu-
tation as the most outstanding
Norwegian author after the turn
Of the century. Her great books
from the Middle Ages "Kristin
Lavransdatter" (I-III, 1920-23)
and "Olav Audunsson" DIV, 1926
2O, show her exceptional power
of recreating historical events and
her profound psychological insight.
These books brought her world
fame and in 1928 the Nobel prize
for literature. She has since then
reverted to contemporary problems
but the trend and spirit of her lit
erary art remains the same.
Mrs. Undset's narrative art is
realistic and rich in fantasy, often
tinged with moral pathos. In the
description of characters she is AT
her best in the realm of feminine
psychology
During the second World War
Mrs. Undset escaped to the Unit
ed States, and contributed to Nor
ways fight for freedom through
numerous lectures and newspaper
articles. For her outstanding liter
airy achievements and services to
the country, she was in 1947
awarded the Grand Cross, of the
Order of st. O.av
VIGELAND, Adolf Gustav, b.
1869. d. 1913, sculptor. In his ear
ly youth Vigeland studied wood
engraving, and in 1889 he produced
his first work as sculptor = a
relief depicting incidents from the
Had. Already his first greater
work Cursed 1892 shows his
personality in form as well as in
execution. Influenced by Edv.
Munch's artistic program he Gre
ated a series of expressive works.
At the turn of the century V. was
attached to the restoration of the
Nidaros (Trondheim) Cathedral
Already in 1900 he had offered a
fountain to the community of o.
10. The plan grew into an enorm-
Gus construction, which now COW
ers an area of several thousand
square meters in the Frognerpark
in Oslo. 1t consists of a number of
single persons as well as groups
with an impressive monolith as the
center. This construction, the ar
tistic and architectural value of
which is strongly disputed, is not
yet completed. The construction
depicts the history of mankind,
from barbarism to civilization
During his work with this plan V.
widened his style in the direction
of a heavier, more monumental
form-but even if the value of
this form often has been, and GER
tainly also will be the cause of
much discussion, nothing can ever
shake his position as the greatest
and most creative power in Nor
wegian sculptural art

Absolm (112S-1201). Archbishop
and statesman. BY birth belonging
to one of the oldest and most dis
tinguished noble families of Den
mark. he was brought up and ed
ucated together with the grandson
of King Eric Ejegod, Valdemar, in
collaboration with whom, when the
latter became king (Valdemar the
Great he united and rebuilt the
kingdom Of Denmark. after II
years OF faction and civil war. In
his youth he studied theology for
some years in Paris, and on his re-
turn home he was made bishop OF

spent in wars against the German
Wends, and fighting Frederic Bar

at the shores of the Sound he
founded the town of Havn, today
the capital of Denmark.
Brahe, Tyge = Lat. Tycho =
(1546-16O1) Astronomer
Belonged to an old noble family,
but received, contrary to all tradi-
Mon. an academic instead of 4
military education. Studied at the
University of Copenhagen, and
here an eclipse of the sun reused
his interest in the astronomer
art of prognostication. He went
abroad for the purpose of studying
Law but dedicated himself during
his sojourn abroad almost eXcluS-
ively to astronomic and astrologi-
cal studies. On his return to Den
mark, out of consideration for the
family. he gave up astronomy, but
the discovery of new star in the
Cassiopeia compelled him irristibly
to resume astronomic investiga-
tions. Scandalizing the family, re
published the treatise DE nova
stella" and as at the same time
he married a woman outside the
aristocracy he would have been
ruined had not the King = Fred
eric II - interviewed to mediate
and granted him the island of
Hveen in fief of the Crown and
placed at his disposal the where
withal to cultivate his scinetific
work. After the death of Freder-
lex the Second. however, he went
into exile and settled down III
Prague where he lived and worked
as a protege of the emperor, Ru-
dolph II.
Even if several of Tyge Brahe's
scientific theories have been in
validated by the scientific re-
search of later times, as an astron-
omer he holds a position compar-
able with names like Copernicus,
Kepler and Galilei.

the University of Copenhagen and
went to Holland to prosecute his

chemistry and mathematics. His
second great work from those
years We're his researches of the
whole lachrymal system the anat-
omy and physiology of which he
thoroughly explained; his third ex-
plot was studies of the heart. On
his return to Copenhagen where,
most unjustly and to his great dis
appointment, he was passed over
at the filling of a professorship,
he published the treatise Studies
on Glands and Muscles He there
upon went first to Paris and next
to Florence where with the Duke
of Tuscany he occupied respect

White Man Freed In Trial
Tor Mississippi Lynching

PITTSBORO, Miss. - (ANP) -
Knother lynching last week was
Mfsded to the massive list of un-
8Ived murders when a White man,
INES Moore, 20, was found not
lilly in the Staying of a Negro,
<alcombe Wright, 4S, on a Missis-
Aippi road last July 2.
The dead mans widow, Mrs. Vir-
mia Wright, and two of her four
thildren, all of whom saw the kill
tIlg, described the attack by Moore
nd two other young White toughs
~ the dead man, but the all-White
jnry took the word of Moore against
<hem.
Moore claimed that his was a
1ase of self-defense because the Ne
8rO attacked him with a short
booked piece of iron" According to
Wright's family Moore, along with

~, jumped on the victim because
Ne 'hogged the road with his mule

Negro Youth Should
Prepare For Jobs
In All Fields

CHICAGO - (ANP) - The Negro
student who plays it safe and limits
his training to only those fields in
which he is considered acceptable
is hurting himself as we'll as his
race.
This was the opinion voiced by
Mrs. Christine V. Berry, associate
consumer research director for Per-
ma Starch, Inc, as she addressed a
group of college women in the
southside YWCA, Chicago.
Mrs. Berry, who is former social
worker for the Cook County Board
of Public Welfare, struck out at
what she termed growing attitude
among young Negro men and women
to avoid the struggle that is being
waged for economic equality. She
claimed there is a tendency on their
part to aim for careers which hold
promises of security.
Young Negroes of today should
feel encouraged to try for better
paying and more responsible posi-
TONS" she declared. During World
War II, substantial numbers of Ne
gro workers shifted over to higher
paying. more attractive jobs in in.
dustry and into white-collar occupa-
tons.
But. l have found that great ma
jority of them have philosophy of
defeatism. They won't train for
prestige positions because they feel
licked at the start. Consequently,
such organizations as the Urban
league find themselves unable to fill
the openings which arise due to the
shortage of qualified applicants.
The gains that have been made
Negroes job-wise in the last decade
or so. are due to the efforts of those
who have overcome almost insur-
mountable odds to take their place
as distinguished workers in govern
ment, industry, commerce and the
arts, Mrs. Berry said. If such pro-
gress is to continue, the young
people of today will have to display
the same courage and effort as their
predecessors.
