THE SCANDINAVIAN AMERICAN
Russian Football
Vic'l'ory in Sweden
STOCKHOLM — The Russian
football team “Dynamo” recently
visited Sweden and played two
matches against two_ of Sweden’s
best club teams, Norrkoplngskam
raterna and Goteborgskamraterna.
Both matches, for which allutick
ets were sold out far in advance
were won by the Russians by 5-1.
“Dynamo” showing a very swift
and effective play. The first match
took place in the Stockholm Foot
ball Stadium ln the presence of the
Swedish Crown Prince and a pub
lic of 39,000 persons, and the sec
ond one in Gothenburg.
much sleep when the battle for
existence is on. In one year. 78
million pounds of fish was caught
and auctioned off at the Skag—
another year the catch sank to 34
million pounds. The fish is like
pure gold and this gold is distrib
uated according to the age of the
fisherman; he in turn converts it
into passing pleasures such as
drinks or women, while others in
vest in homes, ships or automo
biles. '
There is considerable difference
between Anchers grey bearded to
bacco chewing fishermen and the
clean shaven gentlemen chauffeurs
of today. “
One of the old paintings car
ried the title. “Will he turn the
point?" Today that has but to do
with the driving test for securing
a motor license. And it is now also
fishing population that inhabits
the ballrooms where the aristo
cratic champagne coolers have
been replaced by the more demo
cratic beer bottle. On the floor.
a shirt-sleeved and tie-less youth
ful manhood leads the powdered
iipsticked pinup girls over the
waves.
Hundred years after the birth of
Holger Drachmann. his grave is
devoid of flowers and bordered
with a wire fence. The lyre in the
cement is cracked. In a remote
corner of the town's book store.
it is possible to find a stack of
Drachmann'a poems- at reduced
prices—rand in one of those books
someone has written:
The day so quickly passes and
eventlde comes on,
Once here was another Skag
perhaps a better one?

Sweden Pulls In Its Bell
l
} STOCKHOLM— (By airmail) —This year the Swedish
[people will have to forego the traditional rice porridge at
Christmas, says the chairman of the Food Commission in
a report on the Swedish supply situation. Other Yuletide
dishes are expected to be available, although not in such
quantities as in former years. The Commission’s chief worry
just now is how to be able to give
the farmers enough feed for their
cows and pigs. The domestic fod
der crop turned out very poorly, in
addition to which maize, oil cakes,
and fodder cakes are internation
ally rationed. Furthermore, Ar
gentina has recently issued a tem
porary ban on the export of bran.
which is not included in the world
rationing plan.
l_ Afte r the adjustments nowi
made in the Swedish food rations. 1
those for bread are down to 5.04;
02., while butter is 1.26 02., and
sugar 1.81 oz. per day and person. i
‘In regard to bread, Sweden has‘
‘the lowest ration in the world.
while the allowances of butter and
gaugar are about the average of
those in other countries. In fact.
the Food Commission chairman
points out, the Swedish rations
have now reached a point where‘
they cannot be further reduced‘
without detriment to the country’s 1
health, :
' The only bright spot this year
is the potato crop, which is suf
ficient to cover the domestic con
sumption as well as provide for the
manufacture of potato flour. On
[the other hand, there will be no]
Ipotatoes available for the making ‘
lot distilled spirits. Finally, as re
: gards beer. the breweries have had *
’ their quota of barley cut from 22,-
jOOO tons last year to 10,000 tons
gin 1947. They will. however, be
table to ek'e this out by purchasing
Lraw sugar and by importing malt

[Motor Traffic Severely Restricted
Ban on Pleasure Driving 1
I On November 4 the Government 1
issued restrictions on motoring for
i the purpose of saving gasoline, oil.
!tires, and other accessories. As
Lhad been expected. Sunday driving '
{will be hardest hit. From Novem
iber 8. trucks. pleasure cars, and
{motorcycles are forbidden to use i
‘the roads on Sundays and public
lholidays without special permitsl
i'I'his ban does not affect doctorsl
|and others who can claim emer
igency reasons. At the same time. ‘
:niotor racing is forbidden, as well i
:as air displays and sight-seeing'
. flights. In addition. all driving 1
{permits will be checked. so thatl
' further e c o n om y steps can be “
taken, should they prove ncces— 1‘
sary.
1 The Gowrnment's decree has a
roused mixed feelings writes the
Conservative Sn-nska Dagbladet
of Stockholm. adding that in the
mntor organizzltiuns, the gas and
Oil trade. and the automobile in
dustry it is '.rzenerzilly felt that the
authorities should first have tried
to see what emllll he :u-l-umplisi‘ed
liy voluntary saving.
The L i h e r :1l Dagens Nyheter
points nut that the luau “'UI'SL
alternatives \rere avoided the. ra— i
[inning of gum-line and the limit—
ing; of the driving radius. The‘
paper believes that. psyehelogieal»
l)‘. the (‘.overnment measure will
find suppnrt dim tn the deplorable
number of (mine accidents that
occur on Saturday nights and Sun~
days.
Less Paper for Swedish News?
- papers and Magazine-a “
i The consumption 0f paper by
'Swedish newspapers and mngaZi- ‘
mos will soon be further reduced:
ENew restrictions have become ne- !
icessary because of the camper-i
atlvely low production of electric {
power, a consequence of the pro- I
longed drought last summer and
Hall, and the country's shortage
of so-cslled herd currencies. which
will have to be met by lncreued
exports of forest industry products. '
The restrictions must be made,
in such a way that the freedom!
of the press, whlch ls lndlspensw
able 111 a demorratlc country, will 5
not be endangered. the committee i
appointed to prepare the measures !
any: in its report to the Govern- 3‘
lment. The committee recommends 1
thnt tor 1948 a huge quantity.
corresponding to 50 per cent of
the 1946 consumption. be allotted
to all newspapers and magazines.
This quantity the publications
should be entitled to use without
further investigation into their
needs. They should then be di
vided into five different groups, of
which the first one. consisting of
magazines for lighter entertain
ment, would receive only the basic
quantity. Group No. 2 would get
14 per cent more, and the other
categories somewhat more. News
papers are placed in group Not 5.
The Swedish Newspaper Publish
ers Association, the c o m m i t t e 9
says. should continue in charge
of this part of the rationing sys
tem. basing its calculations on a
total quantity of 102,000 tons oi
newsprint for 1948.
