MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOHD, OREGON SUNDAY, AUGUST 12. 1962 Local Boy Tells About Food, Overnight Camping in Norway Editor's nol: Following It lha second in series of letters that have been sent to Mr. and Mrs. Garner T. Haupert. 222 Valley View dr.. Medford. Writing the letters is their (on. Garner Haupert Jr.. who is spend ing the summer in Stor Deglum. Norway, under the auspices of the Ameri can Field service. The youth is living with Mr. and Mrs. Anstein Dobloug at Stor Degum, near Nydal. Norway. Young Haupert will be a senior at Medford High school this Sep tember. By GARNER HAUPERT JR. Stor Deglum is rather a large farm for Norway. They raise potatoes and grain. I gather, however, that the largest source of income comes from the mink and fox farm. There are four men hired to work at the mink farm, and four or five others to work on the farm" part of the farm. Wheel tractors are used for doing the work. The house is large. It has at least 20 rooms, and is two- story. It is nicely furnished with items we would con sider antiques, but which are not so old for Norway. They include old guns, clocks, tea pots and water holders. The grandmother lives in a house that is 150 years old behind the main house.

Food is really fabulous. I have liked everything so far. My favorites are wiencr schnitzcl, salmon, and whale. We have had ox, herrinR, and mackerel. I liked the macke rel least of all. A few days ago at the hut we had a spe cies of cod that was "out of this world." On the Fourth of July, Jon, Ara Britt, Erik and I went over to one of Asa's friends to celebrate. Another exchanse student and her sister were there too. We had hamburgers, and were they Rood! The idea of the party was to have typically Ameri can things. After supper we sang American folk songs. A lady from California who was vis iting there played the guitar. After singing we went out and exploded some fireworks that Gretta (our hostess) had bought. They were great! We had one huge sky-rocket, the biggest that I have ever seen. When we returned to the house we discovered that the whole neighborhood had been watching all the activity at a safe distance. It was quite an evening. Femily Dinner On the nexl evening we had a big family dinner. It was quite in contrast to our family dinners. It was just like eating at a fancy down town restaurant in New York. Mor (mother) hired t w o cooks to help her with the meal. Jon, Erik and Andrias, one of the fellows who works on the farm in the summer, served. They were very effi cient (the towel over the arm bit and everything). We had two main rniircne the first of salmon, and the second of wienersnitzel. At both servings we had potatoes i ana carrots ana some other i delicious "junk." The Nor- i wcians can really put the I food away, and I am having a wonderful time adapting! i 1 am getting along fine I with the language. I speak al- j most all Norwecian at 1hi dinner table. All of my fami-1 ly speaks English, so we get along fine. Big news this week was our i trip to the mountain cabin at Oyungen, about an hour drive from Stor Deglum. "Our" cabin is real nice with running water and sinks, but no electricty. There is a wood stove and a sort of two-burner hotplate. The one impres sive thing about the cabin is the fireplace. It Is really dif ferent and kind of modern ish. Camping Trip Jon and I had a very suc cessful and fun adventure while at the eabin. We fixed a breakfast of bread, jam, vegetable soup, milk and co coa. Then we got ready to leave on an overnight camp ing trip to Lake Moklebv- sgoen, which is located in a wilderness area some distance from Oyungen. We had one pack in which we put a sweat shirt, one small saucepan, no I utensils, two raincoats, two sleeping bags and one after- ! noon and evening's food pro visions. ; The terrain and scenery in this area were quite interest ing. The land was rocky with rolling hills which were com- j plctely treeless and covered with a Norwegian brand of sagebrush. Unlike true des ert land, the area has a great ' deal of grass and many marshes In the valleys be tween the hills. We hiked about HVj miles, and it took us three hours and j 55 minutes. The lake is large, 1 clean and extremely cold. For ! excitement wc decided to j take a swim, and believe me, it was exciting! The water was so cold that I could stand it for onlv a mimitn nnrt j then I had to kick like mad to keep my blood circulat ing. It was the most refresh ing swim I have ever taken, to say the least. Honey Sandwiches We then ate our lunch. which was honey sandwiches, j After lunch we lay In the sun for awhile and then decided to hike to the top of a near by mountain where wc erect ed a monument at the sum i mil. Then we went back to camp and fixed dinner. Din ner consisted of nine wieners i each, two pieces of bread, and honey. That is what I call a real balanced meal! The best part of the meal, was the fact that since we brought no uten- siis or aisncs, we nan none to wash. When we were about half way back to the cabin we sighted what we thought were reindeer about a mile away on a ridge. It is quite a treat to have a chance to see wild reindeer. They are very tim id and we had to stalk them carefully. They are much smaller than I had expected, their backs being barely waist high, and arc colored gray. We were lucky to get to see them because, while there arc many domestic reindeer rais ed by the Laps, there are relatively few of Ihe wild- type YEAR Offering Special Truckload Prices 1 Week Onlyl Starting Monday thru Seturday-Aug. 13-18.
