Many Bomb Shelters To Be Seen In Denmark, Medford Man Writes (Editor's note: Following li I continuation of yeiterday'i article by Leonard Carpenter, who with hii wife ii on a lour of the northern portion of Eu rope. Mr. and Mn. Carpenter reside at Veritas orchard!, Medford.) BY LEONARD CARPENTER Copenhagen, Denmark (By Mail) All over the city one sees bomb shelters either already dug or being prepared. From the top they seem to be large mounds, grass covered, if a year old, with a concrete vent at the top. Inside they are heavy concrete boxes with a protected door about 15 feet under the ground surface. From 50 to 100 people could be jammed into each one, I should think. They are to be seen every where in the cities and they are a constant reminder of the in vasion threat. In the case of frag mentation bombs they might be effective but I'd much dislike to be buried in one by a big bomb. Denmark has few exports ex cept farm products with which she supplies all of the continent and England butter, cheese, and milk especially. Every acre in this flat land is in use. Small farms have four or six red Dan. ish cows staked out in the fields so that each day each cow can eat a semi-circle of grass just the right amount for a day's ration. In larger farms fields are separated as with us, by electric fences. Much of the milk is co-op handled. There are tractors and horses to do the pulling, not as in parts of Africa, where a wife and a cow are hitched up side by side. Farm buildings are built mostly of brick with tile roofs. The two or three hundred year old ones are of heavy timber construction with thatched roofs. Electric lighting seems gener ally in use but power is still mostly supplied by toil and sweat. Denmark also exports finished goods; largely electrical equip ment, diesel engines, large and small, and other technical ma chines. Unions In Business We had lunch at an inn owned and operated by the Union of Technical Workers. We visited a school operated for and by this same labor union at which about 150 students board, lodge and study at a cost of only a few cents per day to themselves. We also visited the School of Gym nastics which has a gymnasium almost as big as the Cow Palace in San Francisco and indoor as well as outdoor swimming pools. The setting is very lovely as were also the hundred or so girls in' bathing suits being taught correct posture and just how to walk, all lined up in Indian file and walking around in a big circle. I met a fisherman with half a dozen lake trout. "Those look like fine ones," said I. "Oh, no, I just gave away all the big fel lows. I worked in your country for a year in London that's how I talk so good." "So but I am an American." "Well, now you Americans ought to talk to Russia. No one else can talk to Russia. Only America. You should ought to talk to Russia, right now." To which I replied: "We can't do any good until all of you folks over here join with us." "No, no, you must not wait. You should talk to Russia," the man with the fish said. "You bet yer. I go to Wyoming next week. I go to my son." Celebrate Liberation As we drove along the roads and through the country towns we noticed flags flying. Liberation day," said the chauffeur, when asked. "May 9th the Germans were defeated and surrendered." "What happened in Denmark that day? we queried. "All the underground put on their uniforms and took over the running of things. And lots of wives and children were surpris ed to see their husband and fa ther with underground insignia My wife may have suspected but she never knew and never asked Oh, yes, I helped in sabotage. I drove cars hundreds of miles without lights; had narrow es capes certainly." That noon we had lunch at an inn where meals and lodgings have been available since 1634 The husband, son and four oth ers were apprehended here by the Gestapo, marched 200 yards up the road and tortured and shot. A large boulder surround ed by a carefully tended grass plot with many flowers growing stands at the crossroad bearing the six names, date and simple story for all to read. Not far away are two other memorial boulders, one of them a huge one from the ice age bearing carved inscriptions which have only recently been deciphered, one, the larger, being a tribute to his father and the smaller, to his wife, by Harold Blue Tooth, one of the early rulers of this land. He lived more than 1,000 years ago. Viking Craft Found Comparatively near also, and buried under a great mound of darth a couple of hundred yards from the water's edge a great Viking war boat was found. We saw it yesterday. Thieves, per haps 1,000 years ago, had robbed the grave and no human bones remained but within the well- preserved shell of the boat were the bones of six or seven horses, four dogs, some gold ornaments overlooked or dropped by the robbers, and other articles. Per haps this boat was once tied up in Vineland, which is our Rhode Island. Its owner fought and conquered England, Ireland and Scotland, maybe. No one knows or ever will, but it is believed from the size of the boat and of the mound and the bones of animals that a great hero was buried here. Ballots Marked Our absentee ballots having arrived we went to the travel agency to have them notarized.

(U.R) Harold Chase, 23, former Dar rington town marshal, prepared Monday to defend himself against a first-degree murder charge in Everett after having been acquitted of a similar charge in Skagit county. A Superior Court jury, after deliberating nearly 10 hours, ruled Sunday that Chase was innocent of charges that he killed Leonard Lewis three years ago when both were pa tients at Northern State hospital. He also said he killed Dr. Rus sell Bradley, 50-year-old Ever ett optometrist, in December, 1950, and also murdered a "man named Joe" in San Francisco be cause he "got a kick out of chok ing people." World Understanding Asked on Rotarians Mexico City (U.R) The 43rd convention of Rotary Interna tional, keynoted by calls for "world understanding," began its second plenary session Mon day. The opening Sunday night at the Hipodromo de las Americas was witnessed by more than 8,000 persons who heard ad dresses by Mexican President Miguel Aleman and Rotary Pres ident Frank E. Spain, Birming ham, Ala. Aleman blamed "obstructive misunderstanding" for current world tension and said "univer sal peace will take form only when the values of the spirit, of justice and of right prevail."

We found the proper building and walked up two flights of cold, gray stone steps and through a Heavy door where we found two handsome police men at a desk. We explained our wishes as best we could but succeeded probably in only convincing them that we held confessions of some crime in our hands. At any rate, there was a good bit of tele phoning and then a really grand young head cop appeared and led us up another flight to a room somewhat less formal than the first where he asked for our passports and examined our long GOP ballot. Then with our pre cious passports and all our other papers he disappeared and we did not see him again for almost half an hour. By that time I had expressed my belief several times upon the foolishness of doing a civic duty so far from home, but eventually we were handed back everything in good order and so County Clerk ueorge carter should have a couple of ballots subscribed and 1 WltnPSSPrf hv fh( rrlifo rfenui-t. ment of Aarhus, Denmark. I hope they arrive home in time Denmark is a lovely country with delightful and kind people. If one asks the whereabouts of a building,' for instance, the askee often accompanies you to the very door. Since English is one of the two languages all school children must learn you can usually make yourself un derstood. And above all flowers in every window of every home! On every little plot of ground, even on street intersections are flowers growing and blooming in pots small and large. Flowers and children children and flow ers. Ineed a happy, lovely land.
