French Oppose Ruhr Control By Germans PARIS, Nov. 20 -(IP)- French fears that Britain and the United States are pushing German ' re covery too fast appears to be a greater danger to the French government than the communist strike problem. The national assembly's com mittee on foreign affairs protest ed violently the recent decision of the British and American mili tary governments to return con trol of Ruhr coal mines and steel mills to German trustees.

Accordionist is Mrs. Nels Tonning. Norway Lodge Folk Dancers Are Popular Leikarring folk dancing group, since Salem's Thor lodge was or ganized eight years ago there was talk of -Leikarring." But the local Sons (and daugh ters) of Norway never quite got around to working out folk dan cing steps and songs which iden tify what the Norwegians call a Leikarring folk dancing group. That is, not until a month ago when 10 members plunged into the dancing and singing project under the tutelage and inspiration of Sylvia Kjeldstad, a young Nor wegian school teacher who arriv ed here recently on a year's vaca tion with the E. F. Arneson fam ily. Miss Klejdstad taught the dance routines and the songs, enlisted an accordionist and more often than not hummed the tunes other native land for the accordionist as well as the members to learn. No Sheet Music Despite the absence of sheet music Mrs. Nels Tonning learned quickly and the others picked up the sons which are sung in Nor wegian during the dancing to il lustrate them. As their debut a p p roached. these members made their own costumes, patterned after pic tures they had of traditional cos tumes of the Norwegian commun ity of Hardanger. Bright red sleeveless jackets over white blouses or shirts are worn by the men and women in black skirts or dark trousers. The women add to their basic costume white aprons and colorful embroidery work on both jackets and aprons. Danced for President When the big night arrived for the Leikarring group's first per formance, it was a special Thor lodge, Sons of Norway, meeting to honor a visit by the national lodge president, E. B. Hauke of Minneapolis. Success was immediate and when the lodge and guests kept applauding for one more encore. Miss Kjeldstad smiled and said "no more," explaining with a touch of showmanship, "We'll stop while they still like our dance." Performers In Demand Having established a reputation in short order, the Norwegian per formers are already in demand. They danced Saturday night for the YMCA-YWCA Festival of Na tions program at the local YMCA and will appear Friday on the League of Women Voters' United Nations night program at May flower hall. Already the Leikar ring group has a request to per form in Portland. Local lodge leaders, while glad to have their group aid in public as well as lodge functions, are anxious now to expand the Leik arring group. Most of the larger lodges of Sons of Norway have had similar groups for many years as a definite tie to their Nor wegian heritage. As a matter of fact, most of the original Leikar- Vacancies in Local Recruit Office Open Vacancies for three qualified veterans to serv e ' in Salem and !
