They are Invited to visit the restroom prepared forcen tennial visitors In the Railroad building quarters, formerly occupied by the Hed Crnss. "This centenn ial,'• said Prof. Glsle Bothne , chairman of the centen nial board of directors, "will In some measu re do for those of the 'May­ • f!ower of the North ,' who came over in 1 825, what the tercen tennia l cel­ ebrat ion at Plymo uth Rock did for the descendants of the original May- 1 flower.

Star­ ling of the \l\Thite House staff is to ar­ rive later in the day to complete ar­ rangements for Pres. Coolidge's re(ception. Mr. Oftedal Is officially a member of the Norwegian cabinet, a secretary of Interior, although his govern­ 1 ment was recently defeated by a vote of confidence in the Norwegi�n par­ liament. This vote was ca.st while Mr. Ofte­ dal was on the ocean, bound for Ameri ca, as Norway's representative to the centennial. To avoid em ­ barassment, resignation of the de-, feated party was delayed until after the centennial so that Mr. Oftedal may speak as a member of Norway's cabinet. OT H ERS D U E SAT U R D AY. Accompanying him are C. I.

Other Norwegian 1 officials who landed in New York Tues.d ay are expected to arrive in St. Paul Saturday. "We are indeed highly pleased to be able to be present at what prom­ ises to be such an historic event as the Norse-American centennial," said Mr. Hambro, who Is chairman of the foreign relations committee of the i Norwegian storthlng, "especi!tlly since this is the first time in Nor­ wa:·'s history that the nation has sent two official representatives abroad to participate in such an event. " \Ve were made aware of the im­ po:·tance which America as a whole attaches to the Norse-American as :soon as we landed In New York fast Tuesday. We were sent for Immedi­ ately by Gov.

I �Praisin-; the pioneer physician, Dr. Carl D. Kolset of Sanborn, Minn., told of some • of the earlier pl1ysicians who have done much for their profession. "The pioneer physician or our people differs in no way from the present day physician, nor from the physicians of other nationalities,'' he said. • "They all are of the same noble character. As a man, he is dignified, and yet cheerful and sincere in his calling; in his work he is quiet ; in his association With man­ kind he :s friendly and honest. His dignity f'Jrbids him to stoop to employ the blar1a of trumpets and beating o f drums t a proclaim h i s ofttimes almost m.ii:aculous work. "Again, I aare say fhat if there ever­ lived a man of whom It may be said, in the fulleat and hlg,hest sense o.f the expression, that he sincerely trleq, the pioneer physician came closer to It than others who may lay claim to such ac­ complish ment. "The pioneer physician, more than the present day man, forsook comfort, personal conveniences-all that was . pleasant and good in his existence, in­ cl udlng enjoyment of h ome-to admin­ ister to the sick and he1'p those in need to bring sunshine and cheer to thos� in need of It. And time and again h e took of h i s small worldly possessions and gave it to those he thought needed it more than he or his. And yet his work gave but poor c ompensation-yes, even worse than that he often met with ridicule and slander." Streetcars, at hundred yard intei:vals, poured out their scores of_ passengers Throngs Fill Hippocl1·ome First to fill was the Hippodrome. Scene of im mense throngs, attracted, by hockey games or horseshows, the Hippo­ drome outdid itself Sunday forenoon for the religious service. Every scat, every box was filled. Rows of benches filling the entire floor space were occu­ pied, and scores stood ln the aisles, so no one could move. At every entrance, others stood, all through the two hour service. About them hung- banners of Stavan­ gerlags. Dignitaries of the churches of America and Norway were on the plat­ form. A1b ove and to the rear was the famous St. Olaf College cholr and Its director, F. Melius Christian15on. Below was the Luther College band. At the I Horticultural building, too, crowds of young · people sat or stood for the ser­ vice sponsored by the Youn g 1P eople's Luther League, opening their conven. I tion In the grandstand, however, the great­ est crowd assembled. l!'irst, they filled the upper tiers of seats, to stay within the shadow o f the stand. Row after row, in a downward casoade, the seats filled, until hundreds sat in the broillng sun, refusing to move in spite of the heat, to hear the service, sent out through microphon e and amplifiers. "Because the Norwegians in .h, merica have stuck to the ' faith they brought with them from Norwn.y they lmve • accomplished what lthey have," he said . Dr. H. 'G. Stub, white haired, wear­ ing the white robe of his posit.ion as heact of the Norwegian Lutheran church of America, speaking vigorously in spite o f his 76 years, sounded the key­ note vf the day. "Our love remains strong for that land where life was an endless fight against a stony soil and c� stormy sea," he said. "A land poor in gold, but where almost every Qhild can read and write. But stronger than these ties· are I the bonds of faith and hope and 'Chris­ tian charity-that Christianity given us by our people. "Norsen1en came to America 50 or 100 years ago hoping for an easier and a ·better living, but found tlfo heaviest kind of work. 'l'hey fought Indians and grasshoppers, they answered the call of President Lincoln for men. And now this people is holding its place in its adopted country with honor.

It was one hundred years ago in June, 1825, the little ship Restaura­ tionen came to New York harbor from Nor way with 53 passengers who were also its crew. These were the begin­ nings of che Norwegian immigration �·o America in modern times. Since then Norway has contributed a great­ er ner cent of its people as immi- grants ,and settlers to the United ,States than any other country in the world, Ireland being a close second. Today there are more Norwegians in America than in Norway itself. The federal and and a number of I state governments have joined in the ) 1 Centennia l Clebration of the event . which will be held at the Minnesota state fair grounds June 7, 8 and 9.

Prfor to 1825 a number of Nor­ wegians had immigrated to the Unit- 1 ed States by the• way of England, Hollan � or France, but not until that I �hen _ did a Nor_we•gian ship carrying immigrants arrive here. After this on e ship made the trip the immigra- • tion to this country from Norway has been steadily incre·asing, and as most of these immigrants came to the northwest, this celebration is being put on in a convenient place where mostly all of Norwegian descent will be able to attend it. Every day will b e a big day the • time being taken up from �arly mornin� until late at night. Speakers �f national reputation will deliver talks mostly on the pioneer days. '7,-:r, N.

D.-Thousand s of North Dakotans of Norwegian descent will :lock to the Twin Cities for the Norse �entennial, June 6 to 9, at the Minne­ sota state fair grounds, at which the wming of tl:!'a first real Norwegian ,ettlers to America in the fall of 1825 will be celebrated, according to plans for this state, formulated under the ilirection of John J. Lee of Bismarck �hairman for North Dakota. Resi: ients of the state are being asked to buy 30,000 tickets for the event. Originated at a meeting of Norse BOcieties in Minneapol is about three vears ago, the huge celebration which 250,000 persons are expected to at­ tend, will be woven around the fas­ cinating story of adventure of th'e sloop "Restaurationen" which left Sta­ ;anger, Norway, on July 4 1825 and urived in New York October 9, '1825. Expeditiou s of the Vikings are said to 'lave reached America centuries be­ J 'ore the discovery of .A'm erica by Co­ ,umbus. Individual s and bodies of Norwegian adventurers also came to America during the early colonial oeriod, some of them finally settling n New York. But the firlit actual organized immigration of Norwegians to the new world is credited to have �aken place when the famous Norwe­ ;ian "Mayflower" landed in 1825 with !ts 53 passengers.
