Broiling is not recommended for
veal chops and steaks since veal
comes from a young calf and con-
sequently has little fat in compar-
ison to mature animal. To pre-
pare veal steaks and crops use a
moist method of meat cookery
that is, braising.

Shuttle Traffic For
HUNGARIAN REFUGEES

STOCKHOLM, Dec. IA (ASNE)
At the beginning of December
nearly two thousand Hungarian
refugees had arrived in Sweden,
and before the middle of the
month the number will probably
have reached 5000, which is as
many as the country will receive
according to present plans. Prime
Minister Tage Erlander, however,
emphasis that this figure must not
be regarded as a fixed maximum
The government is prepared to
reconsider the matter, if the sit
uation should warrant it. So far,
no Hungarian who has expressed
a desire to go to Sweden has been
turned down. Thirty-one buses are
engaged in shuttle traffic between
Sweden and Austria, and four
railway cars arrive twice week
with refugees. Many Hungarians
will spend Christmas with Swe-
dish families who live near the
reception centers.
Scandinavian American. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1945-1958, 1956-12-01

also spend a day with relatives
from time to time.
The name of each pensioner is
on his or her door as any apart
ment block, and the postman even
delivers the letters to them indi-
vidually.
This home is repeated on more
or less similar lines throughout
Sweden. At Jukkasjarvi, an an
cient Lapp village, a few miles
from the iron ore mining town of
Kiruna in the Arctic Circle, there
is home for aged Laps.
To make these nomad people
feel more at home. the authorities
have erected life-size models of
the round, undiscovered huts in
which Lapps live during the win
ter. complete with protective pail
SADIE. Characteristic meat-drying
rails. and the indispensable wood
en- 'larder' perched on stills to
keep the food stored there well
out of reach of marauding ami
mails.

cruise to the Caribbean, South
America, South Africa, Spain and
Portugal. The air conditioned lin
err, which is NAILS new flagship,

Cunha; Capetown, South Africa;

Sweden Accents Welfare Facilities

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES boasts
that it's welfare state assures
Swedes of care even before they
are born right through old age.
Prenatal clinics care for the
mother-to-be in order to give the
coming child the best possible
chance of health.
Maternity benefits ensure
good start in life. When the moth
er, as is the general rule now
adays, goes back to work, a day
nursery with fully trained staff
takes over for a small daily fee.
Mothers leave their young chill
dren-some are babies only six
months old-at the local day nur-
sery on their way to work and call
for them on their way home in the
evening. The children have all
their meals at the nursery, are
bathed and washed there, and de-
hvered to their mothers in the
evening ready to be undressed
and put into bed.
Whether the advantages of
these nurseries outweigh the dis
advantage of having little real
home life is much-debated point,
both among the authorities and
among Swedes generally. But at
least, supporters OF the nursery
Scandinavian American. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1945-1958, 1956-12-01

school system argue, the day nur-
sery does provide a happy oommu-
nifty life with plenty of companion
ship for the children.
