Ernest Worden, the state board meet- in Portland. Pullen was appoint- lent the group in the (s window contest for Scotland, England, France, Bel gium and Germany in addition' to her native land. She was accompanied bv her two grandchildren, Barbara Car ter, 14, of Eugene and John Rip per, 10, of North Bend. A niece, Miss Marion Storsetter, joined the party in Detroit, Mich, and re mained until June when she flew back to the states. Mrs. Andersen found her old home torn down, but she and the grandchildren picknicked on the spot where the house had stood. rniriy-iive days were spent in that neighborhood, fishing, boat ing, renewing old acquaintances and just reveling in the joy of being alivo in such a beautiful spot. Mrs. Andersen found that now she loved the mountains around the village which, as a child, sue had lcarcd. As guest of her three cousins and their families, Mrs. Andersen and the grandchildren tasted many of the old Norwegian deli cacies, but none so good as rom- grot, a sour cream mush. The dish is made by boiling sour cream and adding flour. The but tcrfat which comes to the top is skimmed off and served in a pitcher to pour over the mush. Add sugar and cinnamon and "it's a wonderful flavor," says Mrs. Andersen. Asked if she brought back any new recipes, the woman who has catered at Eugene parties for nearly a decade, replied that most of them would be so expen sive as to be impractical. Ex ample: A sponge cake covered with six cups of whipped cream to which brandy has been added as a special flavor and jelly de signs of stars and ornaments swirled into the top . . . Let's see . . cream at 29 cents per cup ... we see what Mrs. Andersen means. Whale meat was another spe cial treat . . . and if you think it's white like halibut, that's an other wrong guess . . , it's red darker than beef. Cut up . a; roasts, Swiss steaks, hamburger . . . any way . . . it's deli. cious . ... and the youngsters agreed, even AFTER they knew it was whale meat But Ihe visitor from America was "one up" on her hosts. She served some good old American fried chicken which was every bit as good as whale meat. It seems that the people in the fish ing .village always have raised chickens, but only because eggs were needed for baking. When the chicken was about two years old, .it was beheaded and thrown into the sea. No one ever thought of cooking it. "If I were only younger, sighed Mrs. Anderson, "I would go there and start a chicken farm and restaurant where I sold fried chicken dinners." But that1 would be another story, so Mrs. Andersen is back here answering her old telephone number and serving Eugeneans instead of Norwegians.

Nicholson, min ister of First Congregational Church, addressed a group of 85 members of the American Asso ciation of University Women and their guests at a luncheon Satur day at Erb Memorial Student Un ion Bldg. His topic was "A Brief First-hand Glimpse of Europe and the Near East." Dr. Nicholson's observations were based on his recent tour made under the auspices of the National Conference of Christians and Jews. The group was com posed of 27 persons, clergy and laity, white and colored,' repre senting the Catholic, Protestant and Jewish faiths. The interna tional unity of those of the Jew ish faith, aided by their mutual use ot the Hebrew tongue, was a revelation to Dr. Nicholson, and he expressed tho opinion that such a common bond would be a tremendous factor for nations striving to rid the world of Com-! mumsm. In order to win the cold war! in Europe, Dr. Nicholson believes, ! the western world must help those nations to be strong, not only militarily; they must fill the available educational channels with the philosophy and ideals that comprise Americanism and democracy. He stressed the excellent job being done in this regard by the United States Office of Informa tion personnel. A fine example of their work is being demon strated daily in Berlin which he termed "a crack in the Iron Cur tain." There the U. S. Office of Information processes more than 300 refugees each day who are seeking asylum in non-Commu-nist-dominated countries. Although these are dark mo ments in European history, Dr. Nicholson feels there are definite signs of optimism in the individ ual countries and among their people. Following Dr. Nicholson's ad dress, a brief business meeting was conducted by Mrs. William C. Jones, president. Thirty-three new members were introduced to the group. Birth Announced Cpl. and Mrs. Douglas McCul loch announce the birth of their second child, Lcona Jane, Sept. 30 at Madigan Army Hospital, Tacoma, Wash. Cpl. McCulloch is stationed at Ft.
