Miss Lovenborg wrote: This has been such a won derful summer for me that I would like to share a few of my experiences with you. Our trip over was rerouted so Instead of flying from New York to Denmark, we flew via Scot land and Norway. When we arrived in Sweden we came right up to Norrbotten province which forms the fron tier toward Finland. It contains three well known towns, Hapa- randa, Lulea and Boden. Boden is the farthest inland, being the heart of the most important sys- Ceremony At Church Weds Pair Cave Junction Miss Clydus Ma Knight, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde N.

It is also the junction between the railway line from Finland and ifjssia anfl the one from Norway. In spite of being an Arm. base, Boden is a lovely town about the size of Grants Pass and tife many terraces along Lule River make it de lightful. We have made our head quarters here for the summer but because of bad rainy weath- ; er, we didn't get to do too much traveling the first month. Meets Relations Most of Dad's family live in this part of the country so I have had a chance to get acquainted with all of my great aunts and uncles and many of my cousins. They have all done their very best to keep me busy and happy but the fact that all of my teen age cousins speak good English has meant an even happier sum mer for me. There has already been two big celebrations here this sum mer. Midsummer Eve was cele brated June 24 because of the continuous sunlight for 72 hours. "Barn and Stog" was held the week-end of July 20. This would be the same as 'Children's Day" at home and it featured many kiddie parades and dances. The dances over here are held at outdoor pavilions in the sum mer time. I have been to Lulea several times to visit and do shopping. Lulea is a very handsome town founded around the year 1605. It is a port from which all the iron ore from Lapland is shipped and there is an interesting col lection of old game traps used by the Lapps. I also visited the mu seum and several churches there. It is a town about the size of Medford. , Sees Reindeer I spent a week in a little town called Kalix. While I was there my cousins took me to Hapa randa and over into Finland. Haparanda is the last Swedish station on the international rail way line into Finland. This country is so far north that we are nearly in Lapland. I bought some Lapp boots and took pic tures of the reindeer I saw. We have been to some very nice lakes to swim and picnic. They aren't like our lakes at home as the beaches are all sandy like at the ocean. The country in this part of Sweden is beautiful and the main indus try is lumbering and mining. Bike riding is the main meth od of transportation here so I'm getting plenty of exercise. One of my cousins played in a foot ball game I saw. It was very dif ferent from our football games we have at home. I have also been to see the motorcycle races. Grandmother is visiting in Norway this week. As soon as she gets back we will leave for Stockholm and Goteborg for a week or so. Then a cousin is driving us to the southern part of Sweden where we will ferry over to Denmark and spend a few days sightseeing before we leave for home. We were lucky enough to get someone's cancellations so we won't be coming home until the very last of August. Although this has been such a wonderful summer, I shall be very glad to get back home among all my dear friends and family. Dessert Tray Perfect dessert for any meal is achieved by offering fresh fruit assortment and a cheese tray. Simple but superb arrange ment might be one or two units of baby Gouda cheese, one red coated baby Edam cheese, a package of Port Salud. Cut the cheese in wedges, cubes, fingers and triangles and spear with party picks. Crackers handy for those who prefer them. i f 1 i f Mrs Ida Stevens 1 A': ir frfl Family Reunion Held Last Sunday Visiting at the Howard L.

Mrs. Stevens, who has lived alone since the death of her hus band in .1944, tells of an incident that occurred in Wyoming when they were driving to Oregon in 1924 The graveled roads in many places were open to the livestock and in a particularly desolate area of Wyoming a bull with long horns refused to yield possession of the road. Prior to chasing him off with an axe, Mrs. Stevens recalls that he rammed the car breaking a hose connection. Part of an inner tube was substituted for the broken part until a garage was reached. Mr. Stevens traveled through southern Oregon when the popu lation of the area was approxi mately 6,000 and, liking the cli mate, decided to move here. He acquired an undeveloped plot of ground east of Medford, where he built a home. This section has since been annexed by the city. Mr. Stevens, a building contractor, built several houses and other buildings in the area that remain today. Mrs. Stevens, a member of the First Church of the - Nazarene, is still active caring for her seven-room house, the lawn, shrubs and flowers, as well as a good sized garden and a flock of chickens. She has nine grand children and two great-grandchildren. If there Is a light well made in the center of fruit pies, there is less danger of the juice boil ing over the sides.
