UNIVERSITIES
Oslo University, founded in Is


was 1947/4S attended by 5000
students, the larger number of
which were studying languages
(1s4O, law Q715), science 1920,
and medicine (72O). There were
473O male and 1870 female stu
dents. Duration of the courses
varies from approximately AZ
years (pharmacy) to 8 years
(medicine), but generally speak
ing the students may take their
own time and attend only those
lectures which they consider es-
sential. Some of the courses, how
ever, include serinaries where at
tendance is compulsory.
The University of Bergen, found
ed 1913, is attended by more than
500 students. Courses comprise
science, philosophy and medicine.
The Technical University, Nor
ges Tekniske Hogskole) at Trond-
helm was founded 1900. About 1900
students annually receive their

thinning, civil, electrical, chem
ical and mechanically. The courses
are of Az years duration (arch-
fleets and chemical engineers 5

Suitable For All Types of
Heavy Chairs

Chair-legs may be long or short.
In order to make the VIPP mech
anism suitable for all heavier
types of chairs it is made in four
different sizes. 1t is made for
chairs without legs as well as for
chairs with legs measuring as
much as eight inches from floor
to chair base.
The mounting of the mechanism
presents no problem. 1t is mount
ed in the factory before the chair
is upholstered. Four wood-screws
two for each casing - are all
that is needed. In order to make
the VIPP equally suitable for
chairs which are already upholst-
cred a special mount is provided,
The casing with wheel-arm is at
,ached to the mount, which Is then
screwed on to the base of the
chair frame. The VIPP Is either
given finish of duh nickel-plat-
ing or else is oxidized. The latter
is the most suitable for the high
err type of chair where the wheel
arm is more in evidence.
The VIPP is designed for mass
production and the price Is reason
able. 1t has met with favorable
reception in Norway and orders
have already been received from
Denmark, Sweden and Finland.
The Norwegian furniture industry
is now making extensive use of
the VIPP mechanism for all heav-
Ter chair models.

Introducing Scandinavia
Denmark
Social Benefits

Social Benefits
In addition to the many men,
toned social benefits which are
the most important of'social meas
ures in Denmark, there are also
benefits to unmarried mothers,
children of widows, and in some
instances also of widowers. The
community endeavours to safe
guard childrens health in many
other ways, such as free medical
and majority assistance as well
as free milk for expectant
mothers; if parents wish it, a
visiting nurse will call regularly
to give assistance and advice dur
ing the first year of baby's life.
Children may receive free medical
advice until their seventh year,
and after that time they are under
supervision in the schools where
they are given free dental care
and free meals etc. Some of these
measures, however, have not yet
been introduced in all urban and
rural districts, but they are being
adopted to an increasing extent.
They have proved extremely use
full, as may be seen from the de-
crease in the rate of infant NOR
tally and of mortality in general.
Protection of Workmen In
Industry and Handicrafts, etc.
Besides social insurance, etc..
protection of workmen also de-
serves attention. The legislation
is Is years old now, and has come
up for revision. Denmark has an
8-hour working day; apart from
enterprises working in continuous
operation, the working hours have
been fixed by agreement between
employers and workers. There are
also regulations governing work
by children and youths in fac
tories. Since 1888 all employees
and workers in industry and trade
etc. are entitled to a holiday with
pay; one days holiday for each
month they have been employed
during the past year. Special rules
on notice of dismissal, salary dur
ing illness and compulsory military
service etc. apply to employees.
In all essentials, terms of en-
ployment are otherwise fixed by
agreement between the parties.
The state will only intervene by its
Public Mediator in cases where
labor conflicts threaten to leopard
! ize the interests of the community
as a whole. Disputes on the in
depreciation of existing agree
ments are referred to a court of
arbitration. During the war and
in a few other cases, when the
situation looked unusually serious,
the state, however, prevented Ia
Dor conflicts by special legislation,
but under general principle pre-
vailing in this country, the workers
are at liberty to go on strike. They
have shown great moderation in
their exercise of this right, the
significance of which has been de-
creasing since changes in wages
to some extent have become CO.
related with fluctuations in the
retail price index. Relations be-
tween the workers and employers
are therefore based on a high de-
gree of mutual confidence which
has been increasingly consolidated
A recent example of this develop
ment was the establishment of
Joint Committees in all large
| concerns.

Promising to avoid conflicts as
long as possible, the national lead

Guided a general good feeling
treaty in 1888. 1t is known as the
Basic Agreement" or "Saltsjoba-
den Agreement" In the Labor
Market Committee the labor and
management organizations have
since then co-operated in reaching
a series of agreements. For in
stance, labor participates consul
tatively in management through
enterprise councils which deal with
production and welfare. By the
end Of 194S, 2,120 councils had been
set up affecting 456,670 union
members; also jointly established
are work study councils. Howev-
er, conflicts have occurred.
Involving 10000 metal workers,
the second largest strike in Swe-
den-after the 1909 general strike
broke out in 1945. And 1948 saw
the country's first white collar
work stoppage; but even so, the
labor market organizations helped
economic Sterilization by prolong-
ing contracts without wage in
creases.
All employees, public and priv
ate, have the right to organize and
bargain collectively. Government
conducts a mediation service to
help create new contracts; the La
Dor Court settles disputes over ex-
listing contracts. Otherwise, labor
management relations are left up
to the organizations.
The Confederation of Trade I'm
ions in Sweden (LO), is the larg-
est of these. The unions have or
gained almost 1907 of the indus
trial, agricultural. and service
workers, plus Government and mu-
nicipal workers in the lower pay
grades. 1948 membership of As un-
ions was 1928, 1852, including 277,-
655 women.
The National Rural Federation,
(RLF), has a strange position:
backing it's part-time lumberjack
members it sits on the labor side !;
negotiating with farmhands it sees
through the employers eyes. 49,
665 members.
The Central Organization of Sal
aired Employees (TCO), unites the
white collar workers unions since
1914. Its membership was 254 900
in 194s: private business, $4,000;
Government, 100000; and munich
palities, $4,000.
The Central Organization of
State Employees (SR), includes
$4,000 members among them Of
ficers and secondary school teach
erS.
The Central Organization of
Sweden's Academicians (SACO),
represented 10000 university grad
yates in 194s.
The Confederation of Swedish
Employers (SAF), is the principal
organization for management. 1t
does not cover as much territory
as the 10 but still provides a SOL
id basis for nationwide negotia-
tons. A majority of the 1892
members employing 632, 4s6 peo-
pie are engaged in industry prop
er.
The Commercial Employers AS
ISOLATION (HAO), represents not
only wholesale and retail but also
services. 1913 membership was
4,551, employing 1886 persons.
Other important employer groups
with separate associations are the
agricultural employers, the forest
owners, and the shipowners.

for sin.
At st. John Lateran, st. Mary
Major and st. Paul's Outside-the-
Walls the Pontiff recited the pray
ers he himself prescribed for the
1850 jubilee. He had previously
made his Holy Year visit to St.
Peters, the fourth pilgrim church.
The Pope drove to the churches
from his summer residence at
Casetl Gandolfo in a big black
Cadillac, escorted by 10 police
men on red motorcycles. Crowds
estimated to total 100000 cheered
his progress through the streets.
A squadron of the papal noble
guard knelt and presented arms
as the Pontiff arrived at st. John
Lateran. This basilica is the
Pope's seat in his capacity as
Bishop of Rome.
Stepping from hi car, the Pom
stiff raised a hand to bless the
crowd. The blue stone in his epis-
copal ring glittered In the hot
August sun.
In the church the Pope recited
three times the "Our Father" the
Hail Mary" and GLORY Be to the
Father" as prescribed for the Holy
Year. He then repeated each
prayer for his intention and in

his first mass SO years ago.
The greatest crowd-about 20,-

The Pontiff appeared at ease

About 2 million persons have
