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.
The manager declared that he
had no authority to do such a

Chase Acquited
On Murder Charge
Mount Vernon, Wash. (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."

thing and so sent us to the po
lice station. 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

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
