Denmark Resident
Speaks at Rotary
Denmark is too small to re
main neutral and has cast her lot
with the western powers, John
Hansen of Copenhagen, told
members of the Medford Rotary
club at a luncheon here Tuesday.
Speaking at the Jackson hotel,
the young American field serv
ice student currently attending
Medford High school, said that
his country, a limited monarchy,
has joined NATO and her smpM
Army, Navy and Air Force is
part of the NATO military
strength in Europe.
Hansen is studying here under
the sponsorship of the Medford
Rotary club and is living with
Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Christensen
during his school term.
Representing the small nation
of Denmark, one-half the size of
the state of Maine and with a
population of 4,500,000, the
young exchange student de
scribed his. trip to America as a
"wonderful experience." In Den
mark people are generally fond
of anything that is. American, he
told Rotarians.
Although a monarchy, Den
mark has a governmental system
of checks and balances similar
to that of the.U. S, Hansen said.
The King represents the execu
tive, the 169-member parliament
the legislative, and a court the
judicial. "
There is practically no illter
acy in Denmark due to the fine
educational system; religious
freedom is the rule of the land,
and social advances have been
many. The speaker was intro
duced by Christensen, Rotary
program chairman.
" .Wheat covers more of the
world's farm lands than any
other crop and is grown in all
48 American states.'
