Kitchens of Nation
Held New Frontier
For American Youth

SAN FRANCISCO.-There is a
new frontier for Americas young
men-and it is in Americas kitch.
ems. That's the considered opinion
of Bill Harmon, "a, who is chef at
the Mark Hopkins hotel here.
He says the culinary craft Is
wide open for any young talent who
may be interested.
The old, imported chefs are dying
off, he points out, and adds, logical
ly enough, that someone will have
to take the place Of each.
More than ever before. Ameri-
cans want good food" Harmon as
serts.' There is better food than
ever to sell them. What we lack
is trained manpower."
He suggested that if this man.
power ever appears. America can
easily lead the world in the quality
Of its food.
1.-THE tip on this is in the sauces
we make these days. In Europe
they rarely had the prize beef and
other raw materials that we have
to work with. They got their fla
vor from strong sauces. Today we
get the flavor from the food itself
rather than from the sauce because
we have better food to work with"
Harmon thinks all that's needed
is to make boys aware of the OPP
portunities that await them in the
big kitchens back of the nations
better dining halls.
Cooking as a career offers 100
per cent employment" he asserts.
II could work around the clock
seven days a week if l could take
it." No good chef is ever out of
a job.
"In the second place, wages are
better. We start unframed appren-
tees at $5.8 a day and remember
that includes free meals and laun-
dry. An apprentices serves two
years, learning the various stations
around the kitchen-salads, butcher
shop, cold meats. vegetables, bak-
cry, fry station. roasts and broils
and desserts.
AFTER two years he is an assist
ant cook, starting at $10.S3 a day
with meals and laundry. He can
go up as fast after that as he is
good at his work. I think it takes
five years to make a really good
chef"
Harmon prefers boys fresh from
high school. I'D much rather have
a completely green apprentice than
one somebody else has trained"

A Year of Festivities For Norwoy's Capital
Oslo Celebrates Its 900th Jubilee
This Year With Festivities Galore
- City's History RecOunted .

Oslo - the capital of Norway
celebrates its 9OO-year jubilee this
year. The official celebrations be-
gin in May with the Inauguration
of the new majestic Town Hall and
festivities continue during the
spring and summer.
A City of Sports
The population of Oslo is less
than half million, 100000 to be
exact However covering an area
of TIA square miles, Oslo is one
of the largest cities in the world
having in 1948 incorporated the
neighboring municipalities with
large forest territories. Thus the
geographical center of Oslo is a
woodland lake in the hills several
miles behind the populated areas.
This is rather symbolic of Nor
ways capital. Because there is
hardly no capital anywhere so in
timately bound by strong links of
sports and outdoor life to it's sur
roundings as just Oslo. This is the
yachting, boating, hiking, and,
above all, the skiing capital of the
world, and Oslo invites all its Wis
itors to take part in it's free pleas
ures.
Church Made Old Oslo Important
The saga states that the town
was founded by King Harald
Haardraade (Harald Hardruler)
who reigned from the year 1O47
until 1866. In olden times Oslo, in
Latin Asloia, was probably the
name not only of the town but of
the surrounding districts as well.
Later it became the name of the
city alone.
Like most towns in the middle
ages, Oslo was influenced by the
church life and the monks. Six
churches and three monasteries
were built very soon. The old Os-
10 reached its height during the
reign of King Haakon the 5th
from the year 1899 till 1919. He
made Oslo Norway's capital and
built Akershus castle on the pen
insula in the harbor as a defense
measure. Akershus is today one
of the architectural landmarks of
Oslo.
Destroyed by Fire and Rebuilt
After the Reformation, Oslo's
Importance waned and the popula-
ton declined. The town was raw
aged by fires and rebuilt several
times. AS the city again burned
down on the 18th of August, 1924,
King Christian ", King of Den
mark and Norway, ordered re-
building of the town on site
slightly west of the old town in
such a way that the guns from
the castle could give more effec-
tive protection. There was not
much left of the old town except
for heaps of stone which were
used for the new construction. AS
the wears passed the east area was,

however, rebuilt but it remained
only a suburb until the middle of
the nineteenth century when It
again was Incorporated in the ci-
ty. King Christian " renamed
the city ChristIania and by this
name it was known for 300 years
until it again officially became
Oslo on January 1, 1925.
The city grew slowly during the
seventeenth and eighteenth CEN
turtles and about the year 1900 it
had a population of only 5000 in
the city proper and 5000 in the
suburbs. But after the historical
events of 1914, when it became the
national, political and administra-
tive center, its growth was rapid.
BY the year 1900 the population
had increased to 228,000.
A City of Progress
The modern city of Oslo with it's
University, more than sixty public
and high schools, many colleges,
vocational schools and other edu-
cational Institutions, its many
public libraries, scientific, cultural
and social institutions, art collec-
tons and theaters, is the hub of
NorWay's cultural and economic
life. 1t is the largest industrial ci-
ty in Norway and has the largest
merchant marine of any city in
Northern Europe. On January it
had 564 ships of 2,204,0 gross
tons. About half of all of Nor
ways imports pass through Oslo
and about 1870 of the exports. 1t
is the country's center of commun-
ications being the terminal for
most of Norway's railroads and
the rail routes to Sweden, Dell
mark and the Continent. By sea
and by air Oslo is connected with
all parts of the world.
1t is a busy city and a friendly
city. Promenading on its main
street, Karl Johan, between the
Parliament Building and the Pal
ace, past lllc Olu university dIlNl
the National Theater, and in the
beautiful park surrounding the
Palace, is a daily pastime of thou
sands of Osloites. And on the 18th
of May. Norway's Constitution
Day, this part of the city is a
mass of people viewing the par
ade of tens of thousands of chill
dren from all the schools, each
school led by band, and each
child carrying the Norwegian
flag. 1t is a sight no Osloite will
miss, rain or shine, and so unique
that even visiting tourists admit
it to be one of the most impress
sive experiences they can find
anywhere in the world.
Thousands Of tourists from all
over the world will visit Oslo this
year and participate in the cele-
brations. Osloites welcome them
and hope they will like their 9C0-
Vear-old modern city.
