"Northern Lights " a powerful and gripping drama based on one of the most successful, yet little known, agrarian reform movements in the history of the United States will be broadcast on "American Playhouse" Tuesday at 9 p.m.. on Channel 7. Produced written and directed by John Hanson and Rob Nilsson native North Dakotans. "Northern Lights" focuses on the hardships encountered by first and second generation Scandinavians who emigrated to the United States and scattered over the plains, onto homesteads and into sod shanties. Filmed on location in North Dakota, where the historical events of this fictional account took place in 1915. "Northern Lights" deals with the effects on poor farm families of price fixing and foreclosure schemes which led to the rise of a farmers' movement called the Nonpartisan League. In 1915. North Dakota was an isolated, lightly populated territory run from afar by the Eastern monopolies which through the banks, railroads and commodities industries, ruled the farmers. -- Within a single year, the Nonpartisan League organizers signed up 40.000 farmers and in the state elections of 1916 swept into power with the speed and force of a Dakota prairie fire. After the state elections in 1916 the League held power fur six stormy years creating legislation for the benefit of the farmers and working people. Nonpartisan League reforms included the creation of a State Bank State Mill and Elevator and other state businesses. Railroad rates were rolled back, state workman's compensation laws passed and women's suffrage granted. The power of the Eastern monopolies was broken and for the first time the farmers controlled their own economic and political destinies. "Northern Lights" utilizes this historical background to tell a tender love story involving two voung people caught up in the turmoil of the times Ray Sorenson. a member of the closely-kni- t Norwegian family of wheat farmers, and his childhood sweetheart Inga Olsness. 1)ri. r 'mr M jjjbi Fonzie Panics It's cool to panic when the Inhor pnins get down to seconds but it's usually the apart mother that goes to and the Fonz is the pjorrs natural childbirth nnnic-strirke- n Carpet Upholstery Cleaners of Utah Tuesday her husband.
