Letter from Sweden V 4 'ft - Clark Gliild Iiords Reindeer (Editor Clark not:Utahs Child, Clinton, B. Inter-nstion- al Farm, Youth Exchange delcfat to Swadon b now staying with hia fourth host family la Omkoldavilk. Thif is the third letter from him in this series.) It is a beautiful day here in Sweden and the farmers are harvesting their hay. Haying season is one of the busiest times of the year for the farmers here. They taka great care m the harvesting of their hay, leaving theiy fields neatly cut and clean of all hay, so that they dont waste any. Harvesting hay in Sweden la much different than in the States. After cutting it, they place it on five or six poles that are elevated about six to eight feet. They leave it this way for two or three weeks (depending on the weather) to let it dry. Theyve harvested hay this way for over one hundred and fifty years. However, in southern Sweden theyre starting to use mechanical dryers, because theyve .found that its less work, much faster and more economical. Ive been helping Mr. (my fourth host) and his six boys harvest their hay. Mr. Edblom is president of the Farmers Union in Sweden. This is the first time theyve had an IF YE in their home, so its been an ideal opportunity to tall them about the IFYE program and the United States. I feel that Im really part of their family. Weve worked together, had fun together and exchanged many ideas. So far, all my host families have seemed to enjoy having me in their home, and theyve expressed that theyve learned much more about the United States and Utah in particular, by having me in their home, living and working with them. Theyre eager to learn more about the U.S., because they have a great concern with what Americans, in all walks of life, are doing. The IFYE program is doing a wonderful job in developing a greater understanding, but we need more IFYEs here in Sweden so that we could meet and live with more people. The Swedish people are very For example: I considerate. dont d mil --coffee, tea or When Ive first arrived at each host, family, Ive told them this,'1 and, theyve been considerate enough to serve me milk, punch or water.

It was similar to ths deer mest we have in Utah, and was very good. I asked one of the men how he liked living In the mountains miles away from neighbors. He ssid he enjoyed it. Beats working In an office or factory, he told me. If I want to sleep until noon, I can or If I want to work aU day, I can, he said. said He seemed very contented he had no worries except taking cart of the reindeer and eating and could do about as he pleased. Tha Lappa a a am ad vary pleased to hava us visit their camp. It was very educational to us and they were proud to show ua their camp and the reindeer. After our stay there, we traveled to the northernmost point in Sweden to where the three countries (Norway, Finland and Sweden) meet. This was above the Arctic Circle. We were in the Land of the Midnight Sun. It was, to say the least, inter-sstin- g to see the sun shining at midnight, because, in the summertime, it never gets dark. I was able to sleep though, even if the sun did shine all twenty-fou- r hours. As we traveled north to the land of the midnight sun, we again saw some of the Lapp tents. Thera were Lapps living in tham. But we learned that they mainly live in them In the summertime as a tourist attraction so they can sell more goods to tourists. Near the point where the three countries meet, we took part m a tractor program sponand JUF sored by the (Young Fanners of Sweden). It was at this program that I met the chairmen of the program and JUF; top executives of the Volvo Tractor Company; and the commission of communication in Sweden. I had Wars 4-- H 4-- H be-fo- tains. V e learned that three or four Lapps are herding the reindeer all the time. In the winter they usually kill the deer that are two or three years old and Bell the meat to buyers who visit their village each year.

I am eagerly looking forward to attending this convention!, remarked Mrs. Kanlllopoolos. "Although I would like to attend all 18 district assemblies scheduled this summer for the United States, Canada and England, Salt Lake City is my choice this year. Mrs. Kamllopoolos has been associated with Jehovahs Witnesses for nine years and at the present time attends the meetings of the Bountiful congregation. She moved here about a year ago from Malden, Missouri. Considering the troubled world situation, the assemblies this year are fittingly called District Assemblies, remarked Mrs. Kamllopoolos. These conventions, although filled with pleasant and happy experiences, are by no means mere social gatherings. The primary purpose behind the assemblies is to impart upbuilding Bible knowledge and give instructions for carrying on Christian ministry, All delegates, young and old alike, boms greatly enriched By the experience, Mrs. Karullo- poolos concluded.

Now that the big job of pouring the elevators has been completed, it will take other crews of men about 30 days to complete the capping and belting portion. When this is done, the null will be put into full operation with its increased storage capacity which has been raised from 135,000 bushels to about 300,000 bushels, through this renovation of tha elevators. Previously, the space which the concrete elevators now occupy, was taken up by several smaller metal elevators in which grain, not fit for human consumption, was stored. The various grains stored and refined at the mill are used for agricultural projects operated by the Church as well as for use by Church members, according to the type of grain to be used, as a phase ef the Churchwide Welfare program in effect around the world.

And Mother had no automatic washer, no fabrics that needed little or no ironing, no plastics to cover the table and chairs and keep everything spic and span. Yet, as I recall the days of my childhood, Mother was never d with anj'thing but and whatever her children strays, either human or they brought home with them. She never waited until the weather was nice enough outdoors so the children wont be to invite the clan underfoot for a big gathering.
