OF SCANDINAVIANS New Britain Boys Describe Ex- periences in Northern Europe Back from a summer spent as the guests of hospitable Scandinavians, eight New DBritain boys today were preparing to enter school and were still pausing every few moments to % to parents or friends memor- o experiences which befell them their stay in northern Exceptional hospitality, ange buildings and scenery, of- ficial receptions and balls, rough water trips, a wrestle with the Danish language, and the introduc- tion of baseball to new rooters were fow of the impressions burned in- delibly in their minds by a crowded but thoroughly enjoyable Norway, Sweden and Denmark. The eight New Britain youths | were part of a group of 327 Ameri- can boys who participated in an ex- change of boys to better interna- | tional good will and formed the| other side of the plan which | brought six young Danes to this city earlier in the summer. The move- | ment was sponsored by the noted Danish explorer and internationalist., Dr. Sven V. Knuden, and has now passed through its second success- ful year. Absent Since July 24 The boys left the United States on July 24 aboard the “Hellig Olav.” While on shipboard they divided into “social teams” and all eight Hardware Cilty youths banded to- gether with a few more from this section. As these teams were Kept intact, the New Britain octet re- mained together during practically | the whole summer, making the var- | fous trips as a body and being sep- arated only when the members dis- persed to the several homes of their Scandinavian hosts. This unity did much toward preventing homesick- ness, and Danish hospitality and a busy succession Of experience did the rest. The New Britain boys spent the | first eight days of their stay at, Odense, a town on the islan of | Fyn. The mayor of Odense accord- ed them an official reception, while the governor of the island honored | them with a ball. to which they es- corted Danish girls. Odense was the home of Hans| Christian Andersen, famed author of fairy tales, and before the Ameri- cans had been therc long they knew it only too well. The schoolmaster at the place has an almost maniacal hobby on the subject, and his unfor- tunate pupils complained that they heard praises of Andersen day after day until they were tired of them and of him. The American boys fell into the clutches of the Andersen | fans and were told so much about | him in that brief time they came 1o | pity the natives who had it drilled into them from birth to death. | While the group was at Odensc | oie of the hosts took two of them | cross Denmark to an island in the forth sea and left them with 100 sonen (Danish dollars) to spend ver the week-end. The Jiovious two i A sweden and Norway | Their stay on I'yn completed, "‘"1 kroup moved across onto the main- | Jand ond travelled by way of Aulborg | and Frederickshaven to Gothen- borg. Bweden. At one stage of the frip they overflowed a Danish train and had to sleep six in a four-per- #on stateroom. bunking two in a parrow berth. From Gothenborg the group continued to Olso, Norway, for & stay with new hosts. Here they enjoyed dances, stag parties, an un- forgettable boat ride up a fjord, and trips through numerous museums. Among these was the Ski museum, the only one of its kind in the world, “and therefore the largest,” as one of the local boys added. Here is concentrated the equipment used by Amundsen on his exploratory journeys, along with much other in- teresting snow paraphernalia. Aboord the “Drowning Maud” Late in August all groups joined forces at Copenhagen. The New Britain Pilgrims recrossed to Den- mark on a smaitl steamer called ‘he “Dronning Maud” (Queen Maud). The Btraits of Kattegat were ex- tremely rough and the tiny loat pitched and tossed most unkincly. causing much seasickness and lead- ing the boys to rechristen the steam- er the “Drowning Maud.” At Copenhagen the boys were really scatterad for the first time, their hosts living in different parts of the surrounding territory. Most of them were fairly close to fhe capital, but Harry Slade and Wil- tiam Judd were far up at Hornbeck on the northern coast of the island. Two amusement parks were in- cluded in the itinerary of the Yanks, and they compared rather favorably with those in this country. While pot the equal of a Coney Island, they contained roller coasters, dodg- em cars, and other featnres of i American amusement park, imt the boys were disappointed to find cach string of cars on the roller coaster accompanied by an attendant kept applying a brake to cut down yair had a | who stay in [ | 8p: American boys, that more than 85,000 people wi Denmark.
