Swedish Epic On Emigration

life in America at the time. The
narrative of "Giants" thrObs with
a more exciting pulse beat, but
otherwise it would be difficult and
even misleading to compare it with
"The Emigrants." For the latter
is massive work, in parts, dOcu-
menting the actual conditions and
circumstances that led to the emf
grafton, and presents multiple
characterizations of the people
who took part in it. This volume
is but the first of a triOlogy, de-
signed to portray and epitomize
Swedish emigration as a whole
through the story of some of the
earliest settlers and their descend
ants, starting from the middle of
the last century. When completed,
this work will undoubtedly be one
of the most comprehensive and in
genious literary portrayals ever on
American immigration.
The novel does not read too
easily, but ones interest accumul-
ates steadily and in some por-
tons, one is completely spell
bound. There is time for tears,
for laughter, for contemplation,
and always feeling of sincere
sympathy as Moberg depicts the
life of these unfortunate, hardy
people; in short, this is the I'M
adulterated life and times of real
people.
"The Emigrants" is published by
Simon and Schuster, N. ", priced
at 1918. 1t can be bought at or
through all book stores. Swedish
Americans can readily and proud
~ agree with leading critics who
say this is the finest novel to
come out of Sweden in many
years.

Singers = Weather - Names

Hundreds of "songbirds' are on
their way to Seattle, and by next
Thursday, you'll see them popping
around Norway Center, head
quarters for the And Sanger
fest" of the Pacific Coast Norwe-
gian Singers Association. There
will be singers from Los Angeles
to Vancouver, B. c. with Spokane
joining hands for the first time
in many years. And, of course,
there will be single" birds from
many other places now without
organized choruses. The Singers
will bring their wives and friends
and everyone of them will be
prepared for three days of festivi-
ties. There's something about a
"Sangerfest" that you'll not find
in any other gathering. The sing
ers are known for their spirit and
fun-loving. But above all other
things their love for singing sub
jects itself to all the rest of us.
Most of us seldom think about
all the serious work required be-
fore every "Sangerfest". There's
weeks and months of rehearsal,
music to be learned and words to
new songs to be memorized etc.
Practice at least once a week the
year around. OF all the organi-
cations that I know Of, the
Singers are the only ones that
have an average attendance to
, their weekly gatherings of close to
100 per cent. Such attendance is
necessary if they want to keep
things going. They must love
their singing and companionship
otherwise there will be no more
"Sangerfest' for all the rest of
us to enjoy.
This years Sangerfest promises
to be bigger and better than
any before. With Lauritz Melchior
as soloist and chorus of 250-3O0
voices plus big orchestra, the
concert Friday night at Aqua
Theater is bound to be sell-out.
Otherwise there will be things
going on in Norway Center every
day and every night thru the
three days. A hearty welcome to
all the Singers and best wishes
for a successful Sangerfest from
beginning to end,

BY Tucson Invalid

TUCSON-Mrs. Sadie Danciger,
who has been confined to st.
Mary's Hospital here for many
years, recently announced $40,-
900 gift to the Women's Division OF
the Tucson Combined Jewish APP
peal.
In a letter to Mrs. Bernice Ber-
ner, chairman of the division, Mrs.
Danciger said she realized "that
nothing this money could buy for
me was of great Importance" She
expressed hope that the contribu-
ton would "give impetus to your
drive and encourage other Tue
sonians to give courageously."
Unfortunately" said Mrs. Dan
ciger, 1--WE in America cannot share
with the less fortunate outside our
country that which we possess and
hold most precious: our liberty, our
security, our equality. We can
share our material wealth, without
leaving ourselves too poor in the
things that count most"
Mrs. Danciger said she was able
to make the large donation by rea-
son of a "non-recurring circum-
stance"
