that any second or third genera
ton Norwegian resents the name
Sons of Norway. On the con-
ltrary they seem to be very proud
'of their heritage.
The Order Sons of Norway has
earned the respect of other Anne
ricans too, and it may be embar-
assing to try to explain to them
why it is necessary to change the
name of Order that has 81 years
of successful activities behind it.
1t is almost like admitting that
for 81 years we have been less
patriotic than We should be.
1t also follows that the majority
of the local lodges which now
counts more than 300 should follow
the Supreme Lodge in changing
their names, because most of
them bear names that are typical
Norwegian. Just to mention a
few of our lodges on the Pacific
! Coast, there is Left Erikson, Nor
den, Terje Vixen, Tordenskjold,
Henrik Ibsen, Bjornstjerne Born
son, Mjelner, Breidablik, Harald
Haarfagre, Nidaros Grieg, Peer
Gynt, Dovre, Ulabrand. Helgeland,
Oslo Ryvingen, Odin. Thor, War
Aasen, Sagatun and Norge. All
names that remind us of Norway
and none of them very feminine
either.
l wonder if the proponents of
name-changing have fully con-
sidered the consequences of their
proposal? 1t will lead to an up
heaval of dimensions and perhaps
chaotic conditions for years to
come, and certainly much bitter
ness and fight within the Order,
not to mention the financial cost
of printing new bylaws, stationary
of all kinds, membership cards,
and thousand other things.
AS member of Sons of
Norway for nearly 80 years. I'll
say, Let well enough alone.

By A. BJERKESETH

One of the latest movements
among the order Sons of Norway
is the question of changing the
name. The proposition is not en-
tirely new. Without remembering
exactly when the name-changing-
proposition first popped up, l do
know that the question was to be
discussed at a Supreme Lodge
convention during the war years.
At that time the matter was
dropped with the excuse that the
time was not right.
Then last year the Eastern
Daughters of Norway merged with
the Sons of Norway thereby
increasing the Sons membership
with approximately 3000 ladies'.
This merger gave the name
changers fresh water on the mill
so to speak. Now the name Sons
of Norway HAD to be changed
because it would never do to call
the good ladies Sons for any
length of time.
Up to the time of the merger
more than 10000 ladies had al
ready voluntarily accepted the
name Sons of Norway as quite
satisfactory by voluntarily join
ing. Why then should a COM
paratively much smaller group of
former Daughters of Norway"
earn so much consideration that
"a change of name should be ne
cessary?
Of course the proponents of a
new name have other arguments
as for instance, that our younger
generation resents a name that
puts on them nationalistic
stamp foreign to their own ma
tivity. We remember similar ar
guments a few years ago when
the Norwegian-American Luther
an Church put on their propaganda
for a change of name

What's Socialistic?

Writing in "Arbeiderbladit." the
main organ of the Norwegian La
Dor Party. foreign minister Hal
ward Nj. Lange makes this observa-
ton:
After the recent municipal ell
eetions, the Norwegian Labor Par
ty and the Communist Party have
been referred to in radio and press
dispatches. as the socialist par
ties Our party has protested
against this Technology. We do
not acknowledge the Norwegian
Communist Party as a socialistie
party. Why Because the Com
munist Party, with the full knowl-
edge of its top leadership, but IN
known to the majority of its men,
bership, is the agent of a foreign
POWER, and because the commune
lists advocate the creation of a to-
talitarian state. In other words:
IN order to be recognized by the
Norwegian Labor Party as truly
soeiaiistic a party must be DEM
ocratic, stand on national ground,
and work for the establishment of
a socialist society in Norway
