It is really pretty good. "It doesn't take much planning to protest; only a pair of lungs and every body was born with them!" Ladd Dick Is so funny. He didn't lose his cement mixer in the flood because he'd loaned it to Jim Rogers. He said he wished he'd loaned him his wheel barrow too because he lost that in the flood. Anyway, it's funny to hear Ladd tell it. For several months, I've been wanting to see Song of Norway. We went to the theatre at Col umbia Center on the 4th to see It It is beautiful, the music is beautiful, the photography, the scenery and it made me cry . . . but it was worth it.

They are the ones who showed their pictures at the spring Homemakers Fes tival. They don't know so many people in Heppner but they read the Gazette-Times each week and they are getting ac quainted. .

An occasional lack of an English word comparable to a Norwegian word left a little void in his talk and pictures. His work is similar to that of a County Agent here In Oregon. His pictures were largely agri cultural. Hay is dried off the ground on pole supports due to the heavyfall. They dry much of their fish. They raise lots of potatoes and sheep. A type of deer forage that looked like Kale was one of the plants and Norwegian words that had no American counterpart. He showed pictures of their holidays and the tables filled with Norwegian food was dec orative as well as mouth-watering. Their candlesticks and bowls were of wood whicli is part of their manufacturing us ing their substantial stands of timber.
