GRANGE NEWS
OF SWEDISH LIFE
Axel Anderson, an early resident
of Shelton, writing to friends
here from Lysikil, Sweden, says
he is back home with his people
and has just eelebr/ted his 87th
birthday.
He had an operation on his eyes
there at low cost and can now see
to read and write, and wishes to
be remembered.
He says not to think that they
are starving over there, but they
do have to figure close to make
ends meet. This is the driest
season in Sweden for 100 years,
so there is no water to waste;
no one is allowed to take a bath
in his own home, or wash clothes
except in the bay and water must
be boiled.
Everything is rationed in Swe-
den, including electricity, wood
cakes and coal, with winter com-
ing on.
Axel had been a resident of
Shetton for sixty years when he
left for the Old Country two years
ago. He is in comfortable circum-
stances among relatives, but his
letters indicate a hankering to
get back to God's Country.

tion of the Grange musician, Vir-
ginia Clark. Those presenting the

Accidental Shootings"--
Reduced by Ne;w Rules
Enforcement by the state game
department of the recently en-
acted state law banning the car-
rying of loaded guns in automo-
biles was instrumental in reduc-
ing accidental shootings during
the recent hunting season, M. M.
(Buck) Fruit, Chief atrol OffiC-
er for the aepartment, observes.
Experience.of the game depart.
meat in past. years proved that
the handl!ng of loaded guns in
cars, or me taking them in .and
put of cars, often produced mis,
being handled h }n.a moving car,
We believe t.a ne enforcement
of tlis law will result in the sav-
ing of many lives over a period, of
years," Fruit said.
"The hunters realize how im-
portant it is for the game depart-
ment to have accurate statistics
concerning hunting conditions,"
he explained.
All hunters have been urged to
return their cards to the game de-
partment as quickly as possible,
