Life, Costumes, Attitude Danish
People To Be Shown By Visitors
Next Wednesday evening at
7:30 p. m. in the college physi
cal education gym-auditorium
the people of the Watauga
Democrat reading area are to
be treated to an event that
comes once in a lifetime. ?
This is the evening that 40
young men and women from
Denmark will try to show some
thing of the life, costumes,
dances, music, gymnastics and
attitude that has mado little
Denmark the envy of the world.
These visitors come from a
country of only about 4Vfc mil
lion people who live mostly on
farms and in rural areas. Being
almost surrounded by the sea
the temperature remains mod
erate with an average of 46 in
February and March and of 01
in July.
A peace loving people the
Danes have not gone to war
(except to defend themselves
from the Nazis) for many cen
turies. They have great pride
in their agricultural products.
Xha Danes are famous foe their
hariM" and ' sausages, for theft?
pastry and breads, for the*1
dairy products, especially their
cheeses, and for their fruits.
Farm people as well aa
townsfolk are long lived, and
their reasons which they pre
sent as good reasons for this
"good and long life" is that they
eat an excellent and well-bal
anced diet and that they are ac
tive in work and in sports.
There are more bicycles used
in Denmark than in the U.S.A.
People of all ages enjoy their
exercises and gymnastics. Some
of these activities and of their
dances will be seen next Wed
nesday evening.
In order to help the visitors
defray expenses in their trip to
Boone an admission is being
charged for the public at the
program on the campus. It is
only one dollar for adults and
60c for school children.
The Boone Lutheran church
has asked that the group be
their guests at a supper at the
church on one evening, and the
physical education staff of Ap
palachian are planning a sup
per for them on another even
ing. Most of the visitors are
Lutherans.
A number of church people
have also asked to have one or
two of the Danes in their homes
overnight in order that they .can
have a chance to visit with and
find out more about Denmark
and the people. It also helps the
Danish visitors to get into and
know about the "real Ameri
cans", not just those who stay
in hotels.
The visit U these Europeans
imd the program they will pre
sent it one of those rare events
that is a family affair, where a
whole family can go for an
r
evening with assurance that all
ages will be interested.
Including of Boone on the
Danish tour is due in great part
by the fact that M. L. Walters,
of ASTC, visited the Danish
training schools while in Den
mark, and has for years been a
friend of Eric Flensted-Jensen
the tour director. Mr. Walters
had also known Nels Bukh the
originator of the folkschule
(rural school) idea in Denmark.
FCC AND KENNEDY
The Federal Communications
Commission has split with Presi
dent Kennedy over ownership
of an American Communications
satellite corporation.
The FCC suggests unlimiting
ownership of the corporation to
communication companies.
Kennedy, in legislation sub
mitted to Congress, would have
the corporation sell its stock ?
up to *1,000,000,000 worth
not only to communications
companies but also to other
types of companies and the gen
eral public.

What would you do If you
suddenly found that you had
tuberculosis, that for the rest
of your life any work you did
would be limited to that which
required no physical exertion?
Suppose you were 20 years
old, ambitious, had graduated
from high school, and had Scan

That, during the first week at
college, a physical examination
revealed that you had advanced
pulmonary tuberculosis?
That is what happened to Bill,
an orphan who had lived with
friends since his parents' death.
During high school vacatlona he
had worked as a curb boy and
aa a sales clerk. He had saved
enough money to pay for his
tuition, and had a promise of
part-time work at the college to
help defray other expenses.
And then the blow fell. The
result of that physical examina
tion was hard to take. But Bill
took it on the chin, and was
sent to a sanitorium, where he
stayed fifteen months.
He was discharged with the.
advice that he should return to
college if at all possible. And,
in his own words, "If I have an
education, I can get a job that
won't require much physical
exertion. If I don't have an edu
cation, 111 have to do physical
labor, and the doctors say that
will kill me. I know I have an
