Richt DOWN His Allev

The landscape gardener from the
University who was here last weel;
delighted my soul with such re-
marks as keep it simple" "go to
the woods everything that was
perfectly possible to do, as long as
the kinks stay out Of our backs and
the elbows keep fabricated. Then
he came to the rear Of the house.
One remark sent shivers through
me and | felt my blood start run
ming backwards. He simply said,
"build a curved stone wall"
Seven years Of laying stone and
we thought we were through. Not
again! Then the longer l looked
the more the idea appealed.
But just how would l ease up
to the "mister" so he might like
the idea too?
Thought all day about it. Now,
if | got up earlier than usual and
fixed a real good breakfast-may-
be that would be the time. Not if

from the pan to the plate-which
I'm good at-for he doesn't like
to have the yolk disappear out
back.
Maybe a picnic-or a better idea
we'll stroll around leisurely-like
and l tell him how siplple the
project is going to be? That will
be it. When we get to the spot I
tried to be casual in explaining
about the wall.
Do you know what? He actually
beamed like some men do over fish
ing tackle, or the possibility of
buying a registered calf, or shining
up the golf clubs.
His expression floored me. All
these years he's been making me
think he was laying stone for ME,
and now l know he does it because
he likes to.

Bypaths of the Tableland Trails


Bypaths of the Tableland Trails
One of the most delightful people
T've met in a long time was Mrs.
Hamilton Owens, whose husband is
the editor of The Sun papers, at a
dinner launching a tableland mag
azine at Somerset on Sunday eve
ing.
Sometimes it is disappointing to
meet wives of outstanding men,
Secretly, we often wonder, chow
did they ever team up?"
Mr.. Owens is a handsome, keen
and charming individual, but he
went up further in my estimation
when l saw what kind Of a picker
he is.
Mrs. Owens, who is the mother
of five and grandmother of six,
has a face filled with character,
kindness, understanding and en-
thusiasm. Her physical beauty is
overshadowed by an inner glow
Not the grandmother type at all
She reminded me Of typical
American girl-slightly older
and ever so much more alluring.
The women guests at this din
ner were presented with rare cor
sages-home fashioned ones of
trailing arbutus. Many exclaimed,
"And this is arbutus!"
Anyone connected with the
Centennial pageant recalls the bal
lad chorus which added so much
to it. Mr. Robinson has composed
the music to another ballad, "Moon-
shine Holler" from Louise Nc
Neil's poem. Those two plus an old
Pennsylvania one were sung by
Muriel Robinson to the delight of
everyone.

To Show Bu||dozer P|ow

Ragnvald Skjarpe, co-designer
of the famous Skjarpe bulldozer
pillow which breaks rocky virgin
soil at one-fifth of the normal
cost, will study farm technique in
Canada and u. S. A. this fall.
Bringing his pillow along, he will
first take part in the World Plow-
ing Championship contests in
Canada, to be held October 40,
as member of the 4-man Norwe-
gian team. After demonstrating
his invention at large farm ma
chinery exhibit in Canada, Ragn-
valid Skjarpe will later visit Mimi
eapolis and Chicago plants in the
same line.
Attached to the front of a IS
ton bulldozer, the Skjarpe pillow
digs well over 2 feet deep into
rocky soil, making burrows feet
wide. Large boulders, caught by
sharp prongs made of armor steel,
are brought to the surface with

Oregon Boy.
Tours Sweden
On Bicycle

A 14-year-old newsbay from Eu-
gene, Oregon, Teddy Lee Berg,
who saved up $3.50 last spring
and sailed on his own to Sweden
to visit his grandmother and BIZ
cycle around the country, return
ed on the Swedish American Lin
er "Gripsholm" September 8 with
suitcase full of color photo
graphs, including many of King
Gustaf vi Adolf. The Sunday
magazine Parade, which goes to
about five million American fam
lilies, plans an article about Ted
dy's experiences during his BIZ
cycle tour of Sweden, illustrated
with his own photographs, and
some of his pictures may appear
in camera magazines. Teddy Lee
Berg saved most of the money
for his trip by selling newspapers
in his home town and by picking
beans and raising calves and pigs.
He was born in Sweden and
brought to this country at the age
of eight months by his parents.

Agricultural 0verproduction
Problem of Small Proportions

STO CK HOLM (By airmaiD
The verprod uc t i on of the
Swedish farming industry has not
yet become serious problem, the
Minister of Agriculture, Sam Nor
up, said recently at a conference
of cooperatives. The surplus of
bread grains this year will pro-
badly not exceed 100000 tons.
That figure does not include the
relatively large supply that has
been built up for emergencies.
During the last few years world
market prices have, been some
what lower than the domestic
ones, but it seems as if Swedish
bread grains could be sold abroad

Sweden Cost Index Shows
First Decline Since 194q

In the second quarter of 1858
Sweden's living cost index based
on the year of 1885, showed its

social benefits, the index was PIP

Viking Soccer
Club Tops
League

This years soccer season start
ed September 81 with four games
played so far. Our local Scandi-
navian club, The "Norselander vi
king" have won all games quite
handily, the last one Sunday Oct.
II when they downed the Italians
by score of 100. AS the first
half State Soccer Leagues ends
Sunday, the Vikings will be shoot
ing for five straight. Regardless
of the outcome of the game
against Scotty's Fish and Chips,
the Vikings have the First Half
Championship nailed down with
their 8 points against 5 for their
closest rivals.
OF the IS players on the Vikings
roster this year, 16 are pure"
Scandinavians with such veterans
still active as Austin Gundersen,
Bob SimenSen and Arne Petersen.
Each has more than 25 years SER
vice on the Viking Team. Arne
Petersen can even point with
pride to his son Larry, who is one
of the best players on the Viking
team. This father and son COM
bination' is perhaps unique in
soccer play the world over. Other
outstanding players on the team
are Tor Ronning, Erling Hansen,

rect benefit to Industries working
for the home market. AS for the
export industries, tn e Korean
armistice is not expected to have
any adverse effects, as it is not
likely to affect the international
market very much. 1t is possible,
however, that the armistice will
lead to an even keener COMPETE
ton in some fields. On the whole,
the Bank adds, there is reason
to believe that present high en-
ployment in Sweden will con-
tinue. But price reductions have
cut profit margins and it will be
difficult for the companies to alb
sorb a possible increase in labor
costs. |

Well over 10000 people have
so far visited the district of Jaren

plows made to date, so have been

Ship Firms Protest Plan
To Regulate Water Front
ey the A,,oeio,ed Press

& NEW YORK. June 1s.--The
New York Shipping Association
has lodged q protest against
proposed legislation to create q
State or bi-State agency to
regulate New York and New Jer-
sey waterfront labor and busi-
ness practices.
Opposition to the program was
voiced in kilograms to Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey of New York
and Gov. Alfred E. Driscoll of
New Jersey.
The two States spanning the
port are cooperating in moves
to wipe out crime and racketeer-
ing on the water front.
The protest kilograms were
sent yesterday by John v. Lyon,
chairman of the association
which represents ITO American
and foreign flag steamship COM
panieS. contracting stevedores
and other water front employees.
The messages said the en-
ployers are convinced the en-
ployment cleanup could be done
by the State employment serv-
ice and other existing govern
mental departments without any
new administrative setup or
special tax on industry.

Hydraulic Failure Cited.
"We think that Andrews has
a pretty good record" Mr..

people over there are fine peo-
pie and are trying their best
to keep up a good safety record.
We really can't find too much
falt. However, in view of Tues
days tragedy. we are going to
ask the commanding officer to
try to arrange flights so that
they will be away from the
school,"
Andrews officials said that
failure of the planes hydraulic
system apparently was respon-
sible for the crash. A board of
inquiry will meet next week to
consider evidence gathered by
investigators and try to set a
definite cause for the accident.

Chevy Chase Citizens
To Protest Route 24O
Extension in Park

A Chevy Chase citizens group
is expected today to urge Mary
land planners to block the pro-
posed extension Of Route 240
through areas Of Rock Greek
Park near the District line.
The session, where fireworks
may break loose. was called by
the Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
to hear complaints from the
citizens. Headed by former SEN
ator Gerald P. Nye. they have
formed an Action Committee for
Fair Road Planning.
Robert M. Watkins, commits
sion chairman, said the Nye
group requested the conference.
1t will be held at 3 pm. in the
hearing room of the Silver
Spring Liquor Dispensary Build
ing.
The citizens group is strongly
opposing any proposal which
would bring the limited-access
Route 240 through park areas
from a point near Wisconsin ave-
nue. to the East-West highway
near Beach drive.
Two main routes are under
consideration. One would follow
the park valley. The other
would leave the park a short
distance from Wisconsin avenue,
cut across open country in North
Chevy Chase and re-enter the
park near East-West highway.
Actually, neither route has
been decided finally by the State
Roads Commission, although en-
gineerS are known to favor the
so-called alternate B" route
that which cuts across country
through the Chevy Chase area.
Also the MNCPPC has ap-
proved neither route, although
some members strongly favor the
"B" proposal. The commission
purposely left the southeast leg
of 240 off it's master plan for the
area, approved recently. The
commission, however, long has
favored using an east-west strip
of the park for the proposed in
tercounty belt highway.
