Show Phil Jensen To Stay In Denmark As Mission Sec'y. Remaining in what is now "the heart of what is left of the European Euro-pean mission", Elder Phil D. Jensen has been appointed secretary to President Garff of the Danish mission, mis-sion, according to word received by his father, Niels Jensen of this city. Some concern has been felt by friends of Elder Jensen, but his recent re-cent letters indicate that he is well and happy, and that he is enjoying his work very much. Elder Jensen recently was transferred trans-ferred from Esbjerg, where he spent the first ten months of his mission, to the headquarters of the Danish mission, at Copenhagen. He will be among the few missionaries who will remain in Denmark, and will continue his work as secretary to the mission president. In a letter dated September 24, Elder Jensen writes: "There are 1G of us here in Denmark. President Garff has received instructions to send all the missionaries out with the exception of his secretaries. So that means they will leave about next Friday. It's hard to tell what the news will be tomorrow, or next week, or next month. "I moved Info the mission home yesterday. Copenhagen is now the heart of what Is left of the European mission, and I'm certainly enjoying my work." Elder Jensen was in Esbjerg when that city, the largest fishing center in the world, was bombed. However, his letters contain no mention of the incident. He reports that Lsb-jerg's Lsb-jerg's fishing industry has been heavily hit by the war. More than 700 fishing boats are tied up, their owners fearing to venture out in mine-infested waters. As a result, more than 2100 fishermen are out of work, and the packing plant, box ; factory and other industries dependent de-pendent upon the fishing trade are now idle. "The Citizen has been getting through as regular as can be," Elder Jensen writes, adding: "See if you can find out Mr. Gaisford's formula, so you can get a letter through." |
