TWO-MEDFORD (0REG0IT, American Finds Norwegians rriendly; Tells Mr A If r..u.vi ,. . xi 1 7, t v,Jlua"1. me former Harriett Houghton or Medford, finds Norway a friendly and charming country and is looking forward to living in Oslo accord ing to letters to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dwight Houghton," 512 Dakota avenue. The Guldahls. who have been living in Seattle, left last month for Norway, Mr. Guldahl's native country, and plan to remain there at least a year. . "The weather has been cloudy all the way until yesterday noon when we sailed .into Bergen. I think that city rejoiced because we brought the sun with us. "Bergen was certainly a charming little town. We had to pass a number of rocky islands ana up a fjord before we got there. All along the way were brightly painted houses and al most every house had a flag pole. "Most of these houses were built right ton the rock. Bergen itself is surrounded by seven mountains and we took a ride by rail car up to the top of one called Florien. The railway is called 'Floibanen.' At the top is a magnificent view of Bergen, the fjord, and surrounding moun tains and lake-?. - e, "There is also a restaurant on top and the usual souvenir shop, though I do say the souvenirs are not as junkv as those in the U. S. "We went to the little round shaped house where Grieg wrote his 'Peer Gynt Suite.' You can surely see where he got his in spiration. "The streets of Bergen are very narrow and winding. Even the oldest parts of the town are clean and neat. We went to the home of (friends). We met the neighbor and the lady down stairs who, it turned out, came from Seattle! Church Described "On the 18th we stopped in Stavanger and strolled around for about an hour and a half. Stavanger was rather small and is noted for canning and export ing fish. They have a very tiny old church there, started in about 1500 in the Roman style, and finished many years later in Gothic style. Most of the orna mental work was taken out of the church during the Reforma tion, but a very ornate hand carved pulpit was returned. "There are carved pictures of the Old Testament stories oft it and it is painted in vivid colors which have lasted fof these years. "The nineteenth we had all day in Copenhagen. We took off from the ship by foot and found many interesting things to see. For one, the palace of the king with the guards standing out side their little red houses. The guards had on blue pants, red coats, with white accessories, and big bushy black fur hats. Whew! How suffocating on a warm day. "While we looked' at them, some chimes rang and immed iately they started walking back and forth in unison, clicking their heels as they turned. I guess when the king is home, they really put on a show. "We wandered down the street and into a park and there we came upon the famous statue of the mermaid created by H. C Anderson in one of his stories. "We, rather Alf, asked for directions to Tlvoli . . . (It) is filled with outdoor restaurants, each one trying to outdo the next in setting. Most of them are situated around a small lake. We sat down in one and ordered sandwiches. Sandwich Different "I was quite surprised when the 'sandwich' came as one piece EAST 1 Full Quart I Depot-14gN. front -SP3-1SM tttv nn a am Mazola MAIL TRIBUNE of Country of bread upon which Was heaped several slices of meat, a strip of cold boullion. onion rings and garnished with parsley and some other greenery. Very artistic. "Tivoli consisted of many res taurants, carnival rides, penny arcades, dance pavilions and. in the center, a very large concert hall where classical concerts are given. "All the buildings are trimmed with colored lights, as well as the pathways and the shores of the lake. "We stopped in a museum on the way back. There were some very fine collections of old china and glassware, hand - written Bibles, beautiful handcarved "chests, some dating back to 120 "I learned one thing true ruby glass has a bluish tinge and was -made before the 17th century. One part of the mu seum was devoted to old musical instruments of which they had one of the best collections. Cop enhagen has many fine museums . . . also many bicycles; so many that they have built special lanes for bicyclists. "Saturday was the big day of arrival to Oslo. As we rode up Oslofjord we were right at the rail until we got to the dock. Then we were busy trying to spot Alf's family. I finallyfsaw a group of women pointing in our direction . . . sure enough they were the sisters-in-law. Family Celebrates "We went down to get our passports checked and all, which took an hour. We walked down the gangplank and there as we turned were the rest of the Gul dahls. They all had their hands outstretched to shake, and Papa Guldahl stood to one side hold ing a bouquet of flowers, and go misty:eyed he couldn't say one word. "We went out to Papa Gul dahl's house and-had a welcome skol, and a table laden with pas try, coffee and liquor. Ooh! What a celebration and me hard ly understanding anything, but I got along fine with all with Alf as. interpreter. "After the eating we had open face sandwiches or 'smor-bord' and 'kranshkake,' a cake made of almond flavored rings, one on the top of the other, decorat ed with Norwegian and Ameri can flags, and snappers. "There is one thing that I'm having to get used to here, and that is that bathrooms are at a minimum! One goes to town to a community bath when we bathe. We wash our hands and face in cold water which is the fastest way to wake up in the morning. "We have also seen our apart ment and it is beautiful! The man who owns the house built it himself and he has done a wonderful job. It has a long liv ing room which can be split into a dining room too, a big kitchen with counter space stretching the length of the room, and two bedrooms. "It is an upstairs apartment and the view beautiful. ('Pent' in Norwegian.) There are several other neat houses below us, ours being on a hill, and beyond that farms with the hay drying on the racks, beyond that a small lake, and beyond that Lillestro men and the forests. A very pretty view. "The house has electric panels for heating as well as a cute tall skinny wood stove in the living room. There is a small hot water heater above the sink in the kitchen o guarantee hot water for the dishes. The floors are wood with a highly-finished var nish . . . "We share the bath -with the landlord and it is in the base ment. This is because it is so expensive to put on the other floors, why I don't know. "Shopping for furniture is an other story, which is not fin ished yet. Everything is coming fine." Cookies A cooky jar is a wonderful help in planning summer des serts. Peanut butter cookies i made with plenty of sweet, i chewy raisins go well with fresh 'fruits, ice cream or as an ac ' eompaniment to lemonade.

Neutral Colors Big News in 1957 Decorating Chicago W The big news in color trends for 1957 interior decorating is the growing use of neutrals with a touch of color This is a boon to the practi cal housewife, who cannot af ford to re-do her whole house every time she wantsa change of style or color. This prediction was made by three nationally known home fashion experts, speaking be fore the ninth annual conveu tion of the Retail Paint and Wallpaper Distributers of Am erica. Florence Byerly, home furn ishings editor of Better Homes and Gardens magazine, said the most important wall colors will be "the wandering" neutrals as nomad, which is neither gray nor beige, but takes on a tone of nearby colors. "Another trend is bright white as a background color added Miss Byerly, "showing off carpet and upholstery tones in sharp contrast. Bright colors are beinng used in greater quantities, than ever before. "Color combinations tend to ward thee unusual pinks with oranges, royal purples with pure pale tones, blues with greens." According to Margaret Hutch inson, a color stylist, "there is a growing interest in the off beat, in-between kind of color which can be described as nei ther gray nor brown, with a touch of some other color. The entire color range for walls has taken on a softer, more subdued look." Another new concept in in terior decorating that may sweep the markets in 1957 is correlated design," created by Evelyn Mayer, who thinks that homes should be well-coordin ated "packages" of design and color. Another advocate of the use of neutrals. Miss Mayer sparks her textural wall coverings and upholstery with wide, alternat ing meetallic stripes . symbols of her plan for integrating color and texture. She stressed that this metallic effect shouli be used only as an accent if it were found all throughout the fabric it would be "too much icing on a cake."' She feels that rough, "luminous fabrics have a more interesting effect than the smooth, satiny finish" of ordinary draperies. "The most important criterian for decorators is simple," con cluded Miss Mayer. "A woman has and always will want her surroundings to be most becom ing to herself."

Burlington Industries' lab tech nicians have been carrying on a series of tests, and the results have brought about "renewed interest" in "leg volume" for the hosiery merchandisers. r The official lab report: 'Let it be understood that when stockings are too short, too tight at the knee, or have a welt that rides too high or down too lov these things are not neces sarily the fault of the manu facturer. Hosiery makers can and do produce stockings to fit any and every size leg. It's the women themselves, who, lacking the necessary measurements of their own legs fail to buy hoss tlict fit properly. Length and Volume Women .s hose, like mens socks, are still sold primarily on the basis of foot size. But there the similarity ends. The sock covers only the foot and ankle, so a man can buy an exact foot size and be assured of a perfect fit. The experts report this is not so with the women. Women who wear the same s.ze shoe may be completely un- Mice in leg proportions. One may be five feet, 10 inches tall, the other five-two; one may weigh 161 pounds to the other's 105. As a result, one's leg may be six inches longer than the other rs well as larger in circumfer ence at the ankle, calf, knee and thigh. The smart buyer, looking for a perfect fit, would measure leg volume. Tank Measurement Burlington reports it is doing ju :t that but still hasn't solved 'he problem. It has developed a unique "tank" device to do the measuring on a representative grmp of women. . The transparent tank, just large enough to accommodate a woman's leg, carries a gradu ated scale on the outside mark ed off in cubic inches. To find leg volume she simply places her kg in" the tank. Then t is filled to the top with water. When she removes her leg, the water line drops, and the difference between the two readings rep resents her "leg displacement. ' or volume. The experts report average displacement is approximately 395 cubic inches. So far so good but Burling tor admits one big problem re mains 'How are you going to get women to measure their leg vol ume before they go to the store to buy hose?"

Marilyn, a tall, handsomely proportioned brunette of 23, is summertime hostess for a Side walk Superintendents' club, founded by a Rockefeller in 1938 and re-activated, one month ago. Already 100,000 visitors many of them women, have stopped at the club to observe what now is one of the city's biggest holes in the ground. Ultimately the hole will be filled with the 47 story Time and Life building. Cost, 70 million dollars. Club headquarters is a 65 foot long painted pavilion, with bright red and blue striped pen nants, flower boxes, model cranes which work, and 10 spa cious windows which give an unobstructed view of the -exca vation. A Unique Job Marilyn's job, a unique one, is to meet and sreet sight-seers, register those who want to join the club, and hand them a mem bership card which bears the motto: "The best pilots stand on the shore." Miss Miele, who in the winter time teaches school on Long Island, also explains what is going on "down there." I asked her what was, and she answer ed: "Ten to 15 tons of rock and dirt come up with each truck load; 85,000 tons moved so far; ultimately 200,000 tons will come out. The excavation will be 38 to 40 feet deep." The Center gave Miss Miele a thorough briefing before, she started work. But not enough to help her with one woman's question. She asked "What is j bedrock?" "I've got to look that one up" said Maulyn today. Natural for Spot Miss Miele in previous sum mer vacations from school had worked as guide for the Cen ter's tours. So when the Center was looking for a club hostess, she was a natural with her looks and personality.
