Safety Tips For
Springtime Gardener
One of the beguiling pleasures of
springtime for many millions
Americans is gardening. But the
gardener must tend himself as well
as his garden if the pleasure is not
to turn to pain. Here are some safe-
| ty tips from the American Medical
Association for our green-thumbed
citizenry:
Remember, one swallow never
made a summer, and one 10-hour
| session the first sunny spring day
never made a beautiful garden, but
might make a bed-bound gardener.
Take it easy at the beginning, take
frequent rests, and work at a sen-
sible pace.
Cuts, scratches, and bruises are
inevitable for the devoted gardener,
but keep them minor by washing
them at once with warm water and
soap and covering with a clean ban-
dage. Tetanus lurks in the soil, so
make certain your immunization
(and your family’s) is up-to-date.
Power tools, like the auto, can
be a boon — but they can also
be a menace if handled carelessly.
Learn how to use them properly,
follow instructions, and keep your
mind on your job Turn off the
power if you have to leave it un-
attended for even a moment The
toes you save may be your child's! |
Pesticides can make a silent
spring, ruining your soil and silen-
cing bird-song, or they can help
pending on your use. Read instruc-
tions carefully. Pesticides can cause
of the reach of small children Make
fatal aecidents. S¢ store them out
pesticides a boor. not a bane.

Norwegian Christmas
MARJORIE GLAHN
Marjorie ‘Glahn, Rotary Exchange
student in Norway, writes of Christ-
and the Midnight Sun.
Svolvar, Norway
I can tell you of Christmas as
experienced it here in Svolvar. One
season.
‘The first signs of Christmas in
Svolvar appeared on the first Sun-
day in December. The night before
the employees in the stores worked
dows ‘were covered with paper to
hide the decorations and displays.
Christmas lights were strung along
the streets and a tree was set up
in the town square.
On Sunday the lights were
turned on and the window displays
were uncovered. At 6 p. m. a pro-
| gram was presented on the square.
| Some speeches were made, the
town orchestra played Christmas
carols and children went around
the tree singing carols. The town
was crowded with people who had
come to attend the program and go
window shopping.
The month of December is called
the dark period when the sun can
not be seen at all. I remember
morning it was dark and did not
become completely light wntil
about 10 a. m. Then when we left
school at 2 p. m. it was beginning
to get dark again. On fairly clear
days we would get the reflection
of the sun and there would be
more hours of lightness.
About a week before Christmas
the housewives were busy house-
cleaning thoroughly. The Sunday
| before Christmas they call “skitten
sondag” (dirty Sunday). The wo-
men bake all day. They prepare a
great amount of food for Christ-
mas. They say that they have so
to live longer than Christmas.

the beginning of our Christmas the greatest surprise of my life --
there stood two Santa Clauses and
one ‘President Johnson' (in mask
and costume). The Santa Clauses
were Dag Rodsand and his brother,
Atle. ‘President Johnson’ wag Leif
Skoogfors, an American, Dag is a
student at an art college in Phil-
Exchange Student in. Tunkhannock.
He flew from the States to be home
in Svolva to spend Christmas. Leif,
who is from Philadelphia, came
with Dag. They brought me a gift
from the Rotary club. }
At about 7 p. m. we had a big
dinner. Immediatly after dinner
we had coffee and opened the gifts.
They do not set the gifts back under
the tree as we most often do in
America. They actually go around
the tree and sing, something I had
occasionally read or heard, but did
not think anybody really did it. I
was also surprised to find a string
of little Norwegian flags hung all
around the tree.
During Christmas a few children
in costumes went ‘around
to the houses. It reminded me a
little of Halloween. They call it “a
ga jule bokk” and it was practiced
much more in the olden days.
From “annen jule dag” (second
day of Christmas) to New Year's
Eve the stores were open half of
the day wand ‘the people worked
only half of a regular working day
each day. There were many parties
between Christmas and New Year's
Eve. On New Year's Eve there were
parties all over town. Just before
midnight the people left their par-

and waited for the whistle from a
