Famed Woman Of Norway Is ToTalk Here Madam Kjelsberg, Thrice Decorated by Crown, Arnves Today MADAM KJELSBERG A Norwegian Susan B. Anthony and Frances Perkins came to Ju-| neau early this morning aboard the steamer North Sea in the person of Madam Betzy Kjelsberg, one of the foremost women of Norway, a social worker of world wide fame. | Madam Kjelsberg, whose title “Madam” came to her when she was made a Knight of St. Olaf, is 73 years of age, with a record of gov- ernment social work reaching back to days prior to the first World War She holds, beside the Knight of St. Olaf medal, the Gold Medal of Merit from King Haakon VII, given to her at the age of 50 for her so- cial work in the labor class. More recently, she was given the new Olafs’ Medal for work toward good- will among nations First Alaska Lecture Tomorrow night, in the Masonic Temple, Madam Kjelsberg will lec- ture for the first time in Alaska, although two years ago, at the age of 71, this remarkable woman made 67 lectures in fourteen of the United States. Her subject will be “Norway To- day,” and will be accompanied by reels of colored movies. Her years of experience with social conditions in Norway give her lec- tures the acclaim of the most real- istic reports to reach this side of the ocean. So vigorous has been this wom- an’s life, it is hard to begin to tell of the work she has done. She was for 26 years Chief Fac- tory Inspector of Norway until three years ago when she was retired at %0 and was decorated by the King for her work. This job ranks in 129 CANADIAN DISCOUNT B. M.
