me members or the MillSbOrO
FIRE Company entertained their
wives and children at a banquet
last Thursday night in the fire hall.
MIR. and Mrs. Egil Barthe of
MlllsbOrO, have returned from a six
weeks vacation in Norway. It has
been nine years since Mr.. Garthe
had visited his native land, and it
was Mrs. Garthe's first visit to
her parents-in-laW.
They are willing to share the
pleasure of their trip by giving an
account of their experiences.
we left New York at IL p. m.
on Monday, December 20, 1854, and
arrived in Norway 20 hours later.
Their time is six hours ahead of
ours. We stopped in Glasgow, Scot
land, and encountered winds blow
ing at 125 miles per hour. Snow
was falling when we landed in Os-
10, Norway, and we ciTcled the field
for 45 minutes until we could make
a safe landing. We enjoyed every
minute of our plane trip, even the
food was wonderful. We changed
planes in Oslo and went to STAY
anger, where we took a boat to
KarmOy, 2-hOur trip. We arrived
there on Wednesday,, December %.
I'VE had an unexpected snow for
Christmas in KarmOy which lasted
two days, and was two feet deep,
the heaviest snow fall they had
had in 40 years. The temperature
averaged Is degrees above zero.
We were in the western part of
Norway where they have much
rain. We went to church Christ
mas morning in a taxi, and enjoyed
a service that lasted 80 minutes.
Each person takes his own hymnal
and prayer book, and we sang sew.
en- hymns.
I'VE were in the church where
the King of Norway attends SER
vices. He has a royal box decorat-
ed in gold, adorned with crown and
crest. We visited, also, ROdhus or
City Hall, in Oslo, where the his
tory of Norway is hand painted on
the walls and displayed in hand
woven tapestries. From this build
ing we saw where the King of Nor
way landed when he came out of
exile in June, 1945.
"The days are short in the early
part of winter, but in January they
were two hours longer than in
December. Norway is the land of
the Midnight Sun in summer.
"On New Years night we went
to a Christmas tree party called
Julefest, in Betania-Or prayer
house. There we sang Christmas
songs, heard a sermon, several peo-
pie prayed. and everyone was in
vited to walk around the tree,
singing.
THE houses are very nice and
all are built along the same style.
The living and dining rooms are
in the front of the house, but there
is no front door. The entrance is
always at the side or in the back.
The rural homes are heated by
stoves. using coke for fuel, while
the modern apartment houses are
heated by electricity. They do not
have refrigeratOrs but access to
rented food lockers is available.
"The main sources of income is
from fishing. The season starts in
January, and fleets of hundreds of
fishing boats of different sizes
bring in, on an average, 100000 to
100000 barrels each day, most of
which goes to fish factories. Some
Of them are frozen and shipped to
England and Germany; large guam
titles are salted and sent to Russia.
The western coast of Norway is
mass of small islands, and |
the waters are very dangerous for
The fishing craft. Sheep and goats
are raised on these very mountain
Gus islands.

The Governments 10-month-
old program to help servicemen
buy homes is beginning to hit
full stride.
The aid offered by the Gov
ernment through the Federal
Housing Administration CFHA)
is available to all servicemen
who have been on active duty
for at least two years.
Since last September more
than 1000 servicemen have new
homes bought under the pro-
gram. Some 5000 have applied
for the aid, and the number has
been increasing every month.
The heart Of the program is
the Governments willingness to
insure home loans made by pri-
vate banks or other lending
agencies to eligible servicemen.
In other words. the Government
says to the serviceman:
If you can get a loan for q
home from a bank or some other
firm. we'll assure the firm that
1t won't lose any money If you
default on your loan"
Adapted to Needs
The idea behind the program
Is not different from the CT
home loan program for veterans
or the FIJI loan program for
civilians. except that it's adapted
to the needs Of servicemen.
The FILA says there are two
basic advantages of the program
to servicemen which aren't pres
ent in other types Of loan ar
rangements available to him:
