Ik THE REGISTER-GUARD, EUGENE, OREGON APtil 51., ' Paga Eight Limerick Confesf Winners Announced Tiny West Coast Village Dresses Up for Royalty j -w'ljJo 1 t la By BILL PORTER NEA Service Staff Corresponded SOLVANG, Cal.t April 20. The citizens of this little Danish set tlement are giving their 28-year old village the most thorough sprucing up in its history in pre paration for the visit of Crown Prince Frederick and Crown Fruv cess Ingrid of Denmark on Good Friday, April 7. Housewives are mending and pressing Danish and American flags. School children, armed with shovels, hoes, rakes, and wagons. are attacking weeds in vacant lots and dressing up their school grounds. Merchants are giving store fronts fresh coats of paint. Three Hour Visit The royal couple will spend only three hours here, but during that time Solvang residents plan to show them that the smallest point on their itinerary can give them the biggest and most royal wel come. Solvang has been happy about the approaching visit for several months, ever since a committee of townsmen, reading that Prince Frederick and his princess would visit California, cabled him an in vitation to visit their vllage, one of the largest settlements of Danes in America. Back came a telegram of ac ceptance from Copenhagen, and Solvang, aided by Axel C. S. Sporom-Fiedler, Danish consul in San Francisco, began to prepare entertainment for the occasion. Full Program Planned During the three hours that the Crown Prince and Princess are here, their fellow Danes are go ing to keep them busy. Greeted by a reception committee, they will parade along the flag-draped main street to the Danish Lutheran church where as many citizens as possible will jam inside to join in a 30-minute service.

With civic pride thus satisfied the gaiety will begin. Veterans' Memorial Hall will be the scene of a colorful reception at which even the youngest schoolboy will be presented to the couple. Dan ish folk dancing and community singing will enliven the occasion. "Valley of the Sun" The royal Danish couple will travel a picturesque route to reach this tiny village which nestles in the fertile Santa Ynez Valley 30 miles back over the mountains from Santa Barbara. Solvang which means "valley of the sun" in Danish was found ed in 1911 by three enterprising Danes who bought 10,000 acres of land and sold it to their fellow countrymen from all sections of the U. S. The community is prosperous, many of the settlers naving brought savings with them. Be fore the Danes came in, farmers believed that barley was the only crop that could be raised in the valley. But beans, grains, hay, vegetables, and flower seeds now are raised in abundance, and beef and dairy ranches prosper. Each year the village stages a Danish fiesta. This year it will be held on June 21, a week after Dan ish day at the San Francisco fnir, in the hope that Danes who visit the exposition will also include Solvang on their itinerary.
