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-

tern of fortifications in Sweden.
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.

Mrs. Ida Stevens Honored
At Family Birth day Party
Mrs. Ida Stevens, 1016 Stev
ens street, Medford, was hon
ored on her 80th birthday, Wed
nesday, August 7, with a small
family dinner. Cake was served
and she was presented gifts on
the occasion.
Mrs. Stevens,' who has been a
resident of Medford for the past
33 years, was born in a log cabin
in Iowa. As a bride of Albert
Stevens, she traveled from Iowa
to Nebraska in a covered wagon
and on to Oregon in 1924.

living. They include Mrs. E. M.

Dessert Delight
Serve warm gingerbread or
SDice cake quickly made from
one of the mixes, with this fruit
topping: Drain 2 cups fruit cock
tain thoroughly and mix with V4
cup sugar, 1 teaspoon lemon
juice and a little salt. Whip one
cup dairy-made sour cream and
fold in the fruit cocktail mix
ture. Chill and serve over cake
square.
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. It will run
to the center instead.
Iron embossed cottons on the
wrong side, and with at trkish

dishes can cut down on a lot
