Farewell to Sweden ends with tour thru countryside

(Continued from page 1 > Favor Betty’s Remarks With not much to do but look out the window, a discussion evolved among some of our group concerning the remarks Betty Ford made concerning premarital sex on the “60 Minutes" television program some weeks ago. And the question arose: Did her remarks hurt her husband in any way in his bid for re-election in 1976 Della took it on herself to pass out slips of paper to our group and have them vote. Surprise' The vote was 20 to 8 that her remarks would have no effect on President Ford’s re-election bid And this group of ours is predominately over 50 years of age We visited a restored ullage, called Gamla Linkoping, then went to the Unkoping Hotel for lunch, where we were subjected to the full course lunch again At early evening we arrived at our half-way point in our two-day bus trip, and most of us were happy to find ourselves at the elegant Hotel Witt at Kalmar. Kalmar is a city’ of 40,000 on the southeast coast of Sweden and is just across a four-mite stretch of water from the long, narrow island of Oland Gerd had the driver take us across this bridge, which she said is the largest bridge in all Europe It was begun in 1968 and completed m 1972, and is toll-free. Kalmar is an old town, but has high square-type buildings We noticed a number of them being remodeled, but not torn down. Europeans just don’t tear buildings down, they remodel them and give them a general face-lifting We weren't in our hotel but minutes when a photographer and reporter from the local newspaper. Barometem. showed up for a picture and report on our group Appearing on page seven the next morning was a picture of Jack Nisseleus of Gillette. Wyo., Gordon Seavey of Boston, Frank Pfeiffer of Raton.

bathtub. Finally, after considerable checking, we found it came in through the drain, a most unusual but satisfactory arrangement Our beds in Hotel Witt were most satisfactory and comfortable. Our group dined together in the elegant dining room of the hotel, and Jack Nisseleus made a few light remarks following dinner. At 8:15 p.m. a few diners straggled in and it appeared, for a Thursday night, there would be a thin crowd. But at 9 o’clock the place was packed. Visit Glass Factory Most everyone has heard about the elegant Swedish glass, with its world-wide reputation. We had occasion to visit one such glass factory,, located at Orrefors, not many miles from Kalmar Needless to say. there was ample opportunity for members of our group to buy items of glass which were on display in many styles, sizes and shapes We made a complete tour of the factory, from the glass blowers and formers through the professionals doing the cutting and design work. It was a real education We passed through the city of Vax jo and it was hit with a deluge .of rain at the time. Little boys were having a time of their life playing in the water along the streets. And. speaking of rain, we noticed many cars have wipers on their headlights, similar to those on the windshields One motorist told us all Swedish cars would have to have these headlight wipers by the end of 1975 Gerd told us only 11 per cent of the Swedish population is engaged in farming, and of this number 90 per cent of the farms are privately owned. The remainder of the farms are owned by the state, municipalities, the church and corporations These people must be the biggest potato raisers and consumers outside the great state of Idaho Every meal we ate we had boiled potatoes. They were good, mind you. but we had potatoes and more potatoes Farm buildings were all in good repair. As in America, big farm bams have fallen into disrepair due to the lack of the utility of such buildings, but this is not the case here in Sweden Aside from the potatoes, the food is good and plentiful. But the coffee, now that’s another story. Coffee is strong — but strong! The Swedes have made a con firmed tea drinker out of many of us. at least for the duration of our time in their country. Gerd pointed out that lumbering is a big industry in Sweden, and we could believe this Forests abound, the principal trees seem to be fir. pine and birch The trees are tall and

slender Paper pulp and newsprint are chief manufactured exports, with much of the output going to England and Europe. Every once in a while we would pass a big windmill, reminding us of Dutch country. They are of little real value, we were told. Malmo Finally We finally arrive at Malmo, our destination before going to Copenhagen We were to tour a newspaper plant tonight and another tomorrow, but the night tour was cancelled. We have two to visit in the morning before our departure. Here are Malmo we are situated in the old but elegant Savoy Hotel, on a canal and across from the central railroad station where electric trains come and go frequently. From our bedroom window we can see the docks in the distance. Arne Carlsson. the uniformed chefportier who told us he has been on duty here for 18 years, also told us the Savoy is just 100 years old, having been built in 1875. and that it has 100 rooms Our room has a high ceiling, high windows, a small balcony overlooking this part of the city, French chairs, a divan, and television set that gets practically nothing. The same old bathroom fixtures, characteristic of this part of the world. Dine On Reindeer Our group dined together in the fancy, big dining room, which seats 200 persons comfortably. We all had comfortable armed chairs, with white linen table cloth and napkins. The tables were laden with cut glass, and the dishes were all of matched design. The room was big, with a high ceiling, and rich mahogany panels graced the walls perhaps nine or 10 feet from the floor. The high, wide windows had lace curtains and gold drapes flowing to the floor. Above the windows, the walls arched toward the high ceiling Our meal began, as usual with boiled potatoes, but the main course was reindeer meat, a specialty in this part of the world. Most everyone in our party was hungry and was enjoying his meal with relish until the fact that we were eating reindeer meat was revealed. The food was visibly stuck in the throats of several of our party Actually, reindeer meat is good and not as “strong" as we think of venison at home. Our comment, however, is that it is not quite the same as roast beef or corn-fed American beef. While we were eating it began to rain again, a common occurrence in these parts. Earlier, during a park visit in Stockholm, we were stranded in a large restaurant by a sudden downpour of rain. Not used to such rainfall all of a sudden, our Nevada passenger, comical Walter Cox, said. “This

is more rain than we get in a year at home. In Nevada it rains four times a year: during the first, second and third cutting of hay, and during the school picnic." It made a good story, but some of us midwesterners wondered about that Nevada hay-cutting. The second week erf our trip was winding up. and soon a number of our party would be leaving us for home. This would sadden us. for we have been such a good group. We can say this has been one of the cleanest, most pleasant countries we have ever visited in our years of travel. Streets are clean, and there is little or no smoke to be seen anywhere. People are friendly and industrious. Their standard of living is high, and people eat and dress well. If there is any poverty as we know it in the United States, it is well concealed. In spite of high prices restaurants are packed. The cars are smaller but there are a lot of them on the roads. The shops are chock full of merchandise, and the people seem to be buying. The country has had an abundance of publicity concerning its openness on sexual mores and pornography, but here it doesn’t seem to mean all that much. At $25 per head to see a brief porno show, the takers are mostly tourists and they are not repeaters. We wouldn’t have missed Sweden for the world. In fact, we wander why so many of them emigrated to America. We have a half day here yet, and like so many other places we have visited in the world, this is one we must return to one day.

Night of music given at the Church of God

A musical night was held Sunday evening at the Syracuse Church of God. Rollin Christner was master of ceremonies for the evening and ted in the opening hymn. Walter Williams gave the invocation. Vocal duets were by Mrs. Roger Kern and Mrs. Richard Coy; Julie Bushong and Sonya Crow; and Rollin Christner and Ralph Bushong.

Two injured on Pickwick road County officers investigated an auto mishap on Pickwick road, Saturday, causing minor injuries to two Syracuse young men, and damages of $950. Paul D. Schrumpf, 16, r 4 Syracuse, told sheriff John Hammersley he was rounding a curve and lost control of his car when bright lights blinded him momentarily. The car left the road, struck a utility pole and county highway sign. The mishap occurred about 200 feet west of the Kale Island road. The driver sustained a bump to the forehead and his passenger, Mark Amos. 16, received small cuts to the forehead. Damage to the sign and pole was set at $250 with S7OO to the auto Extinguish mobile home fire Members of the Syracuse volunteer fire department responded to an alarm at 10:05 Tuesday morning for a fire at the Jim Wogoman home in Turtle Bay Trailer Park. The fire, caused by an overheated furnace, was nearly extinguished by the time firemen arrived. Approximatdy S2OO in damage was estimated by firemen.

Crackdown on drug pushers is underway, nine arrested

In an all-out crackdown on drug pushers in this county nine persons were arrested last Wednesday night with a warrant being issued for a Winona Lake man who is currently serving in the state reformatory. The arrests were made after undercover agents made “buys”

Survives self-inflicted gunshot wound to shoulder

A young Ligonier man, 26-year-old Burley Messer was taken to Goshen hospital Monday forenoon, and later transferred to Elkhart for treatment of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the upper left shoulder. The shooting occurred around 10:24 a.m. in the Dan Hollinger residence in Wawasee Heights at Syracuse, where Messer was visiting. Syracuse officer Dan Gallmeier said the weapon was a .38 Caliber Smith and Wesson hand gun and that the bullet entered the upper left shoulder area, went through the body and into a wall in the bedroom of the home. The man was reportedly having family problems, had been unemployed for several months, and was quite despondent. He had just been released

The Bushong family sang and in place of the usual children’s chat, Mr. Christner led the children in song. Piano and organ accompanists were Mrs. Bushong, Mrs. Christner, Craig Koble and Mrs. Coy. Tim Bushong accompanied on the electric guitar. The evening closed with congregational singing and Mr. Williams singing alone “Christ is King.” Minor accident in Syracuse Minor damage was listed in a two-vehicle collision at the railroad tracks on South Huntington street in Syracuse at 4:10 p.m Saturday. Approximately S2O damage was listed to a 1969 Buick operated by Pam Brill of Goshen who backed her vehicle when the crossing arm started down at the railroad tracks, and bumped a 1972 Ford which was following. Damage to the Ford driven by Lanny Kistler of Elkhart was set at SSO Syracuse police investigated. ■ € UM youth, pastor canvass town for CF fund The United Methodist Youth Fellowship of Milford and their pastor, Rev. Everett Owens, canvassed the town of Milford Saturday, Sept. 27, to receive contributions for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. A good response was reported. Those who helped with the canvass were Noren Sorenson, Debbie Tyler, Linda Perry, Renee Lindsey, Becky Wuthrich, Tammy Miller, Lonnie Stutzman, Shellie Dahtotrom, Kent Lindsey and Tommy Wollman. Should anyone who was missed in this canvassing procedure wish to contribute to the cause of research and treatment of CF patients Rev. Owens, chairman for this year's drive, said such contributions may be mailed directly to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, 3843, N. Meridian St , P.O. Box 88261, Indianapolis, Ind. 46208

in an effort to identify and apprehend pushers. The “buys” were made over a four-month period. Those arrested and booked at the county jail were Barbara Ann (Estep) Cochem, 27, Milford; Linda Kay King, 26, r 4 box 111 C Syracuse; Lowell Franklin

from Goshen hospital last week. The Syracuse first aid emergency unit responded to the call, treated the man and transported him to the Goshen hospital. America’s first industrial nurse was Betty Moulder, who was employed by a coal mining company in 1888. Today, industrial nurses work in plants, help visitors in places like Disneyland and engage in community-orient-ed health programs
