and France by the “Northern Ex
press,” which starts from Stock

ginning 0.‘ this year, the ferry

and Warsaw from 43 to 33 hours.
Since the end of September there
has also been a through sleeping—
carria'ge Stockholm-Berlin via the
ferry-route Trelleborg-Warnemun
de. which will. however, most like—
ly be switched to Trelleborg-Sass
nitz, shortening the connection by
41;. hours.
As from this summer the Swed
ish railway connections with the
rest of Europe will be further ex
tended. A new express train with
a direct connection from Scandi
navia —— “The Baltic-Orient Ex
‘press"—will be put into service
on the route from Odra, travers
ing Poland. Czechoslovakia, Hun
‘gary, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria.
1but it will not immediately per
;mit of a connection by through
icarriage all the way to Istanbul.
‘The journey from Séandinavia to
Ithat capital—at present 150 hours
1via Parisrvwill, hOWever, be re
‘duced to about 100 hours. Through
islceping cars will probably be
lavailablc on the routes Stockholm
;Warsaw, Stockholm-Belgrad and
i Oslo-Prague,
Moreover, “the Northern Ex
press," which at present has con:
nectic-ns with both France and
Switzerland. will be divided into
two trains next summer. one to
France and one to Switzerland.
the latter to be called “The Scan—
dinavia-Switzerland Express." It
will have its terminal in Zurich.
though during the period last July—
10th September the ordinary pas
senger carriages will proceed to
Lucerne. Other novelties in this
years time table is that one
through II Class carriage will be
attached to the "Scandinavian Ex
press" between Stockholm and
Amsterdam.
Communications with the Nor
die neighbor countries will remain
unchanged this summer. though
possibly the connections with Den
mark may be increased somewhat.
The services on the internal lines
will also be somewhat extended.
Among other things there will be
a special express day train from
Stockholm to the tourist regions
in the North of the country.
During the past summer Swe
den had an unprecedented inva
sion of foreign tourists. and the
extension of the railway connec
tions no wplanned. which. howev
er. has been hampered to a cer
tain extent by the shortage of
electricity. will offer the tourists
increased travelling facilities to
Sweden as well as within the
country. They will also be im
proved through the fact that the
summer time table, as in other
countries. will come into operation
on May 9. or one month earlier
than has been usual in Sweden.

1P. Seaburg Commander
0f Royal Order Of Vasa
Mr. J. l’. Seeburg. right. well known manufacturer and philantro
pist, last, month was made a Commander of the Royal Order of \‘asa.
He is seen above being congratulated by Swedish (‘onsui (ieneral Manne
Lindhoim of San Francisco who presented the insignia to Mr. Seeburg
at a banquet in the Beverly Hills Club.
J. P. Seeburg. founder of the
nationally known J. P. Seeburg
Corporation of Chicago, and now
a resident. of Beverly Hills. on Jan
uary 17 was given the insignia as
Commander of the Royal Order of
Vasa by SWedish Consul General
Manne Lindholm of San Francisco
at a banquet in Beverly Hills club
on Ruxbury Drive. Nearly fifty
friends of the Seeburg family were
‘present on this occasion. and the
iConsul General had arrived from
the northern city solely to confer
the honors upon the well known
industrialist'and philanthropist.
The consul general. in an ap»
propriate address. paid tribute to
Mr. Seeburg for his generosity
towards many undertakings in hlS
old homeland, and for his efforts
to further strengthen the ties be
tween the United States and Swe
den. Mr. Seeburg has been hon
ored by the Swedish government
earlier. and years ago was made
a Knight of the Order of Vasa, and
also of the Order of the North
Star; he received a special medal
for work in connection with the
Swedish-American Tercentenary in
1938, and a few years ago. a sil
ver plaque with dedication from
Prince Carl of Sweden as a vis
ible token of gratitude for a mag
nanimous donations to the Swedish
Red Cross. Two years ago. King
Christian of Denmark sent him
the King Christian Medal of Lib
oration for his aid to the Danish1
cause during the war years. j
Among those who honored Mr.
Seeburg at the banquet wol‘o sev
eral local Knights of Order of
Vase. among them Consul Walter
G. Dnniolson. and Messrs. David
K. Bjork. G Eckdahl. F. 0. Fz‘rn
strpm, G. Guston. R. E. Hoerman.
H.~E. Lindon, and Dr, Charles F.
Nelson with their wives.
Consul General Lindblom em
phasized in his speech that very
few outside of Sweden become
Commander of the Order of Vasa.
and that only unusual merits jus
tify such honorl He enumerated
many institutions and causes
which had received support and
encouragement from the honor
guest of the evening. among them
the American Swedish News Ex
change. the Swedish American
Line. the American Scandinavian
Foundation and its branch in SWe
den. the SVerige Amerika Stiftel
sen. the National Museum of
Stockholm. the Elsa Brandstrom
Fund. Swedish American Museum
in Philadelphia. Upsala College.
Save the Children Society. and a
multitude of cultural and humani
tarian causes. too numerous to
mention.
For many decades, both during
the time Mr. Seeburg lived in Chi
cago and Southern California. the
Seeburg home has been open to
visitors from abroad. and these
guests will always remember their
host as a friend who did not spare
any effort to make their stay
pleasant. He now divides his time
between the homes in Beverly Hills
and Palm Springs. and occasion
ally takes a plane back east to
visit his family and many friends.
Justus P. Seeburg was born in
Gothenburg, Sweden, and came to
the United States at the age of
17. He became an industrial pio
neer. and his latest enterprise. the
family owned J. P. Seeburg Cor
poration of Chicago. makers of
musical instruments and devices. is
one of the largest of its kind in
the counrty.
One of the most amazing fea
tures about Mr. Seeburg is his
youth, and the fact that he is still
looking far. far ahead. For a man
entitled to retire from work ten
years ago he has an uncanny en
ergy and physical and mental
alertness. and is truly a source of
inspiration to his surroundings.
The insignia of Knight and Com
mander and medals of merit be
long on the breast of Justus P.
Seeburg: because he not only
climbed the ladder to success and
riches. but also knew how to let
his fellow men enjoy the bless
ings which came to him.

printing press built in Sweden was
demonstrated recently at Lidkop
ing, in the south-central part of
|the country. An interested group
