Russ Arnett To Head Boy Scout Drive Next Week

"The acceptance of Russell Ar nett, US. Commissioner, as chair man of the Annual Nome Finance Campaign for the Boy Scouts of America marks the first step in the 1852 effort said Bud Harper, Executive Board member of the Alaska Council.
 Arnett was busy late this week recruiting his team captains, who would, in turn, select four team members to help them put their team on top in '52! He indicated that the same "one day" type of campaign would be utilized.
 Things will get underway Tues day morning, August 12, with the annual Early Bird Breakfast" to be held at the Bering Sea Club, Arnett concluded.

 Duane Force flew into Nome Tuesday to pick up additional food and to lay final plans for the annual Nome Finance Cam paign. While in town he met with Bud Harper, executive board members, and had lunch at the Chamber of Commerce meeting.
 The camp at Pilgrim Springs will break up Saturday and all the boys will return home that afternoon, weather permitting.

SWEDISH GIRL AND NORWEGIAN GIVE
VIEWS ON WHAT MAKES AMERICA TICK

some of the overflow of the tire
mendous waste of material in pro-
dustion and consumption go to
needy Europeans" He hastens to
add:
But we also feel thankful and
happy about the tremendous help
America has offered Europe dur
ing and after the war to get her
back on her feet again"
In conclusion he says: "Our pat
terms of living are firmer than
yours and often it seems impos-
sible for the individual to change
them, even when they are outdated
and the individual feels far from
happy with them. Maybe that is
part of the reason why the Euro
pean seems to move slower, but
with more peace of mind than the
American."-TN.

erican attitude he previously spoke
of.
ITS encouraging to see how
much each American believes in
himself, his will and ability to go
ahead on his own This optimistic
faith, shown not only in happy
end movies but in everyday life,
gives a dynamic surge to the AM
erican spirit which almost shocks
the breath out of the slower-mov-
ing European"
Give us an example.
Less Security But More Initiative
81 remember when American
soldiers freed my country r m
the Germans in 1915, how they
in a few weeks time cleaned out
heaps of bombed houses and built
a much needed strand promenade
out of it. 1t was a working spirit
I never had seen and would not
see again until I landed in this
country six years later"
"Of course the richness of AM
erica gives the citizen more to
work for and more incentive than
in Norway where, with state
controlled society there is less op-
portunity for individual initiative.
And taxes are higher over there.
On the other hand Norwegians in
the homeland enjoy more security.
But how high is the price!"
Like many other well-educated
Europeans, Per speaks of the pio-
neer spirit of America as still in
evidence and finds it both inspir-
ing and awesome. He feels it &C.
counts for the glorification of
materialism sometimes to the dis
advantages of things of spiritual
value. But then, he reasons, it
also helps to account for the
openness and smiling friendliness
of Americans, not so fettered by
scruples of class and tradition as
Europeans with their greater spir-
itual heritage.
Grateful TO America
Per feels that America could be
of much use to Europe by letting

He felt the hustle and hustle
of American life kept Americans
living at a very fast pace, de-
terring them from simpler diver
sions of life, which of course
makes for much of the charm of
European living. But in Seattle, as
in much of the West, people are
in closer touch with nature and
approximate European ideals of
living better than in the crowded
areas of the East, Per says.
Have foreigners much to learn
from America?
American Cuts
Yes, even though the European
may have a more peaceful harmon
ious approach to life, Europeans
seem to stiffen mentally, accept
their social fate and settle down
in their positions in life at an
earlier age than Americans. An
American often has the quits and
courage to change his occupation
and way of life at almost any
age We have a lot to learn from
that attitude
Does the tremendous accumu-
lation of wealth in few hands" as
he called it, restrict the opportun-
tiles of the average citizen in
this country?
Better Opportunities Here
Despite that, l think the aver
age citizen still seems to have
much more of a chance to benefit
from his efforts and a fairer
chance to earn his share of the
good things in life than the
European, whether the latter lives
in a socialistic or capitalistic
country with social classes"
Per thought that many of the
opportunities stem from the AM

There was much emphasis on So
cial life If the girls had
enough money perhaps they'd quit
school i. E. To some of them school
appeared to be a substitute for
something else They never
hardly discussed what they stud
led. They mostly talked about
dates, boys and clothes and I
found it hard to study at times
because of the noise, and so many
girls living in one room"
She found a certain amount of
superficiality in the girls, but
that's only natural since they en-
joy sense of superiority, she felt.
Here a girl knows she will play
an important part in her husbands
life and career, she'll entertain for
him. and run the whole show, but
in Sweden a wife wants to know
a week in advance so she can

and please her husband in that
way. On the other hand women
in Sweden are more suppressed,
taught to he sub-ordinated to the
man long before marriage"
Makes You Get Along With People
Learning to conform, she dis
covered, is an important part of
the sorority type of group living.
THE girls were often told what
to wear at a dinner or function
ahead of time. One night came
without high heels to a dinner and
couldn't come into the dining
room"
Did she feel sororities were par
ticularly good for a certain type
of person? Yes, for more timid
girls, and of course it offers every
one a chance to learn how to con-
form and get along with people.
On the other hand, the system
works a hardship on girls who
aren't admitted. because they feel
it is a tremendous failure on their
part"
Friendly Informality

she says, carefully pointing out
that what she feels about sorority
life has nothing to do with what
she feels about the girls as per-
sonal friends" for they are very
nice and friendly"
What is her greatest impression
of America? "Friendliness, she
says. that friendly informality
that makes you feel at home every
where. Why do you know, even
the professors have had coffee
with me at the Hub"
That would be difficult in Swe-
dent. N.
