From A Trip To
Norway & Sweden
(Several months ago the Scan
dinavian-American received the
following letter from an old friend
in Yakima, Wash. The letter was
mislaid and found just the other
day. Even if it's getting a little
old, we like to print it with our
apologies to Mr. Hegland for the
delay.—Ed.)
Scandinavian American,
Seattle, Wash.
Dear Sir:
I herewith pay for a. year's sub
scription. I did not read your
paper but very little last year. In
stead I drove from here in my car.
Living on Feb. 3, ’47. drove to New
York and on Feb. 28 started for
Norway and Sweden. We landed
in Gothenburg on March 10. stayed
there 3 days and on to Saeterdalen,
Norway. We drove to Oslo the
first day. There was plenty of
snowLbut the roads were kept in
good shape.
The second day we drove to Kris
tiansand. There we met my broth
er whom I had not seen since 1902.
IL was a grand reunion.
I stayed in Kristiansand from
Fridayl evening until Monday.
March 17. than we drove up Saet
erdalen to the place of my birth.
The roads were good but narrow
and oweing to the fact that I drove
so far, I put the car away till
about the last of April. Than
spring came from all directions.
Just like it came out of a sack.
1 took along not only a new car
but also a new 5 hp. Johnson out
board motor and did I have fun.
Although my sister. who is now
76 years old and who has to cros's
a wide fjord every time she has to
go shopping. would not go with
me in the boat “with that wild
thing on the back of the boat." I
told her that I would make the
boat go slower than she could
row. but nothing doing. she said
"I can't trust you." We traveled
about 11,000 miles in Norway and
Sweden and I took 14 rolls of films

so I have really got something to
look at.
About the biggest headache on
the whole trip was, when we got
into Stockholm about 5 o'clock in
the evening. Everybody came from
work and it was like going through
an ant hill and being that you
must drive on the left side, is no
fun. Everybody has the right-of
way. The man in a car, gets the
hind most. .
After reading so much about
helping people in the old world, if
Truman would only get people
from the Scandinavian Countrys
to go to those countries that are
always fighting, and tell them to
quit fighting and go to work.
America would not have to send
millions of dollars to them. ‘
Everywhere we went in Norway
everybody was working and no
fighting. We saw plenty of signs
of what the “Huns” did to Norway.
but you don't See any “Norsk”
standing there with his hand out.
Sure there was a lot of things
they cannot buy, but I never saw
so many happy people in my life,
as I saw in Norway.
I will never forget my wonder
ful trip, if I live to be 1,000 years
old.
Respectfully.
A. T. Hegland.
