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.

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.
