Rotary In Norway

Mr.. Frank E. Spain. president
of the Rotary international, who
halls from Alabama, has visited
Rotary Clubs in Trondheim, Ber-
gen and Stavanger. as part of a
Scandinavian friendship tour.
Before the war there were 10
Rotary clubs in Norway, but to-
day the number has grown to so,
with total membership of 1900.
The oldest is Oslo Rotary Club,
which was founded in 1922, the
same year when the Rotary Inter
national was established.

at the Swedish French athletic
meeting, Sweden won ten and
scored first-day lead of SO points
to At, followed by a French lead
of $3.50 after fifteen events dur
ing the second day. An about
Swedish finish, however, gave the
final figures of 111-101. Cold and
rainy weather prevailed through
out the competitions.
Earlier during the week the
Swedish champion Per-Arne Berg
lund bettered the Swedish javelin
record, reaching 1925 meters,
which is the second best result in
the world this year.

veillance so intense that after a
time one simply does not have the
strength for further resistance. At
the same time they report that
under this surface conformity the
spirit of resistance remains alike,
with discomfort smoldering every
where. 1t is more difficult to judge
to what extent it will be possible
for the younger generation to es-
cape being permanently impressed
by the systematic Justification Of

posed, and to be saved from the
degrading strange hold of Soviet
propaganda.

To Hear Grieg's Piano
"A major highlight of the Nor

Grieg country in and around Ber-
gen, on the west coast. We flew
from Oslo over the fjords and on
to Bergen, where we spent three
days soaking in the atmosphere of
the wonderful Bergen fjord and
nearby Troldhaugen where Grieg
lived. There at Troldhaugen, 1

ing mental notes which I was to
use in conveying word picture
of the surroundings where Grieg
carried on his creative work-the
little Victorian house itself and
the composing hut down near the
water, and finally the crypt where
Edward and Nina Grieg were
buried. A young pianist came up
from Bergen and played for us
some of Grieg's music on the COM
poser's own piano, which is still
in excellent condition. This was re-
corded on tape, and it will be the
first time that the sounds of
Grieg's piano will have been heard
by American radio listeners"

An IMPORTANT Swedish Meeting

Wednesday evening" September 90 representatives var
Swedish organizations in Seattle will meet at the Swedish
Club to discuss the proposed Swedish community building
at the invitation of the Swedish Club That meeting may
tell whether not the idea will survive This is the crucial
test for which many have waited long time, twenty
thirty years, in fact
At present the true issue partly obcured of by
various self interests the of all prospective member
organizations of the proposed project These legitimate
interests far the organzaona setup is concerned
and that is why the meeting is called If essential differ
of opinion be ironed at this meeting at
subsequent meetings the main obstacle of the proposition
will be removed The of opinion among all Swedes
to be that such building be financed and erected
indeed Norway Center is the classic example which
proves the point
We would not be surprised to hear that the legitimate
self interests stressed by the various representatives of
organizations at this first meeting will threaten stife
the of the idea that representatives them
selves will be given the blame for failure to reach solid
working agreement if such is the This is
possible This very thing happened two and half years
when similar attempt made to organize efforts
for Swedish building Some have this in fresh memory.
Should anything like that happen this time all participant
ing representatives should not bak at trying again and
again, for Norway Center also fashioned of in
ternal difficulties The present building restrictions do not
impose hardship that could wreck the Swedish project
Price Stabzer Eric Johnston said in Seattle recently that
those restrictions may be lifted considerably years.
Therefore the only real potential obstacle is the pros
pectve member organizations themselves. We would
slider it to be almost incredible happening if the project
should fail for that 1t would be incredible at this
after past experiences because the incentive to get together
the dea to believe in its possibilities nearly all Swedes
do is much stronger and touches much deeper
sentiment in the heart of Swede than the talk of
disagreement We insert of caution only because
know it will be needed.
When American asks what Scandinavia really is
like what it amounts to today like to the
of it. and Sweden, too, in these few words
of moderation and will to compromise.
We every student of modern Scandinavia will
those few words express much of the spiritual content
behind the social and economic progress that makes Scan
dnavia interesting and agreeable the of the world
today.
The Swedish people brought that spirit with them

ing at the trees. Pine trees should
be grown so that one-third the
length of the trees is living limbs:
If there is more than one-thlro
the length of the tree with living
limbs on it, there are not enough
trees per acre. If the trees nave
less than one-third their length
in living limbs, there are toc
many trees per acre.
When trees need thinning the
top of the tree is not large
enough to make the trunk grow
as fast as it should. The small
volume put on by many trees Is
not equal to a larger volume OF
growth put on by properly spac'
ed trees. When the trees remain
too thick for several years, the
| limbs on trees will be shaded too
much and the limbs will die
When the limbs have died all but
a very small top, that tree Will
take many years before it is able
| to put on the growth that is nee
cessary for landowners to profit
ably grow trees.
Many people have the idea that
growing trees crowded will make
them taller. This is not true. the
only thing that effects the height
of a tree is the soil that it is
grown on. The good that shading
does a tree is to make the limbs
that are shaded the worst Ole.
This is good but there should be
a large enough top left to make
the trees grow and produce a
profit. :,
Trees may need thinning at all
ages. Trees grown in old fields
may need thinning before they
are pulpwood size. This Woulc
bring no financial returns, but
the Federal Government conslde-
ed the work so necessary that
payment of $500 per acre has
been authorized through the
EP. M. A? in many counties to
carry the cost of the operation:
When the trees become pulpWood
and saw log size, the operations
will pay for themselves.
When trees are thinned, the
better trees should be left for
future growth, Saw logs are the
products that most wood lots
are grown for and saw logs are
the products that will sell tor
the most money, except for some

Plant Bed Covers
Don't Carry Mold

Some North Carolina tobacco
growers are destroying old sup
plies of plant bed covers in the
mistaken belief that blue mold
will carry over from one season
to the next in such covers.
Plant disease specialists at N.
C. State College say, however,
that using old plant bed covers
will have no effect whatever on
blue mold.
Since the supply of canvas is
none too plentiful, the specialists
urge farmers to use all old COW
ers possible and thus help per-
vent shortages in some areas.
Blue mold does not carry over
the plant bed covers, says How
ard R. Garriss, plant pathologlst
for the State College Extension
Service. The two main sources OF
infection, he asserts, are Wlnd.
blown spores that may travel
hundreds of miles, and old plant
bed sites where the disease was
present in previous years. Dang
err from the latter source can be
reduced or eliminated by using
combination weed control treat
ment or other partial soil sterili-
zation treatment.

Prior to the completion of this
survey, the state department had
no comprehensive date on state
wide school need. Recognizing
the necessity for this informa'
ton, Superintendent Anderson
named several leading members
of his department to consult with
county superintendent of educa-
! ton and other local school au'
thorities to secure more detl'
mite picture of the present school
needs of every area of South
Carolina.
The survey was conducted by
the department members in add
ton to their regular work AL
though some of the figures on
the county level may be only
estimated, the department be
lieves that the totals present
fairly the needs of South Caro-
lima schools. More thorough, de-
tailed county surveys may be
needed for more exact individual
pictures of specific needs.
