STAVANGER, Norway CUPID
In Stavanger a beautiful
blend of old and new Norway
they like to say, There's a
ford in your future"
These hometown boosters are
only partly right - there are
fjords aplenty in the present
tense, and the North Sea for
good measure only a few miles
away.
Situated at the gateway 10
the spectacular ford country
on Norway's west coast, the
now grown-up fishing village of
old is typical of the west coast
towns whose links to eastern
Norway across the rugge d
mountain and like country date
only from this century.
Looked Toward Sea
Before the advent of modern
rail, highway and air links such
towns looked more toward the
sea and the routes to the
British Isles and continental
Europe to the west and south.
Although long a resort, Sta
vanger's growth into a major
tourist center is even more re-
cent than its links to eastern
Norway. as evidenced by the
fact that three of it's seven no.
tells are modern buildings IL
years old or less. Strangers
$1,000 population lays host to
an equal number of visitors
each year, and the number is
still growing.
And with reasonl
A walk along the waterfront
and through the nearby mar
row, cobbled streets lined with
quaint, hundreds of : years old
homes and shops is worth the
visit alone. On the waters edge,
fish mongers ply their trade in
a market square with the buyer
able to point out just the live
fish she wants in any number
of tanks and have it cleaned
right on the spot.

flowers and vegetables is just

And from the waterfront
leave scores of boats and ships
every day - for fishing in the

little hamlets along the fjords,
steamers to Oslo and Bergen,
and cruises into the mountain
ringed Ryfylke Fjords and into
Lyse Fjord to see the famous
Pulpit Rock towering 1900 feet

Near the city, the visitor can
take a cruise in a reproduction
of an old Viking ship, swim
from sandy North Sea beaches

farm country where all the
farms are ringed by piled stone
fences made with rock pulled
from the ground so crops could

And, If that Isn't enough, the
view of the city, the old, Steep

mountains from the Valand
Tower or the glass-fronted din
ing room of the Alstor Hotel on
the billy outskirts of the city
can't be surpassed.
The trip into Stavanger by

All this, plus a town that not

USDA Says Family Farm
TO Dominate Agriculture
Several Years To Come

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(NFU)-
A Department of Agriculture study
shows that family farms may grow
larger and even more efficient in the
years to come but-like night base
ball games-are here to stay.
The USDA projection shows that
farmers will continue to step up the
adoption of labor-saving and output
increasing techniques, will purchase
more equipment needed for more
complete mechanization, will hire
more services, such as spraying, dust
ing, and fertilizing, and will obtain
more professional management as
sistance.
Naturally, says the USDA, as the
farms grow larger there will be fewer
of them, but greater use of these
production materials and services
will help farm operators to increase
the size of their enterprises without
losing control of management"

Rainbow. Trout
Cancer Linked
To Fish Food

CHICAGO-The occurrence of liv-
er cancer in rainbow trout appears
to be due to something in the food
fed them in hatcheries, two patholo-
gists said today.
A high incidence of liver cancer
has been discovered in rainbow trout
in a number of fish hatcheries in the
western United States in the past
year. Drs. E. M. Wood and Charles
P. Larson, Tacoma, Wash, wrote in
the current May Archives of Path
ology, published by the American
Medical Association.
At every hatchery where the d.
sease has been observed, the authors
said. the same pelleted diet has been
fed for varying periods of time. In
addition, they said, a direct correla-
ton has been found between the
severity of the disease and the length
of time that the diet was fed.
The first dry feed, pelleted diets
began to appear 10 years ago, they
said. The majority of these contain
vitamins, antioxidants, growth stimu-
lants, and other additives designed
to replace factors present in fresh
meat. ...~-.. 49,. ~.
The authors said they did not be-
lieve genetic predisposition, infec-
tions, or radiation caused the disease.
While nutritional deficiencies or
imbalance cannot be ruled out as
yet, they said, the rapid growth of
affected fish does not indicate a nu-
tritional factor as a primary cause.
This would leave chemical or
cancer-causing hormone as the pos
sible cause, they said.
The physiology of fish does not
exactly parallel that of man, the re-
searchers added, but the occurrence
of this cancer in trout opens new
avenues for investigation of the di-
sease.

this, each car replaces three ele-

OAR Condemns
The Peace CorDs

leaped to microphones to
defend the resolution con-
tended that the foreign coun-
tries had not asked for the
Peace Corps and that it was
unconstitutional.
Mrs. Mary T. Schwiebert
of Cardwell, Idaho. protested
a resolution which encour-
ages "the showing of the
documentary film Operation
Abolition which reveals the
technique employed by Com
munist leaders of using stu
dents and other uses against
congressional committees in
San Francisco last May" The
committee referred to is the
House Un-American Activities
Committee.
Mrs. SchWiebert, who cast
the sole vote in opposition
to this resolution, took the
floor to contend: "I have
seen the film and studied all
materials I could obtain on
both sides of the controversy,
including that put out by the
students themselves.
There are more than
simply a few inaccuracies.
The distortions are rather
glaring.
"I protest the methods used
in this picture to distort the
intentions Of students who
were sincerely trying to insist
upon preservation of consti-
tutional rights.
II believe that the OAR
should not indorSe unques-
tionably such a film which
appears to be using half
truths and innuendoes-
method too similar to meth
DDS used by Communists"
Mrs. Schwiebert added that
she did not like to see the
OAR make enemies of sincere
students who believe they are
unfairly accused.
