It was with pleasure a few days ago that I received a letter Gerd Borchgrevink, whose husband, Ted, has accepted a highway engineering post in Norway, where they now will make their home. Their letter is one that I am sure the many friends they knew in town would like to share. It also gives a wonderful picture of life in that country which others will enjoy. "I would like to thank you from all of us for your lovely letter.

It was quite unexpected to hear from you and it gives me great pleasure to write back to you with thanks for the news and the opportunity to reach our friends by a word from you. It is wonderful to be back in Nonvay again but I do miss my adopted country, America, very much, not at al! for material reasons, but because had become part of her. Her nature and her people and I had fully come to love the country as my own." "It is a peculiar feeling to have roots in two countries--to SEVEN GAMES planned especially for children will be 'in jperation both fair days, includ- ng several for the "very young." Other features planned nclude; children's rides around the green, and area streets; voodcraft center featuring bird "eeders, spoon holders, spice racks and other household tems; plants of indoor and outdoor types; gifts at the handmade booth; and pre- "penny" candy booth; ooks; homemade cakes, pies, jreads and other desserts; 'nearly new" items; attic booth; alm reading; ceramics booth; a photographer, and silhouettes by David Merrill, "shadow artist." The fair committee has prepared a special booklet which will list all of the fair events and attractions. There is also a ilstory of the Monroe Green and Center, and a reproduction of an old woodcut from 1836 showing how the green looked at that time. Parking facilities will be available to guests in the center area and the big "main tent" which has been a regular feature of the 'air, will house many of the booths and special attractions.

Peg Belden's Shelton Echoes SHJILTON Dominiok Lamacchia of New York, will present a concert on Saturday, at 8:30 p.m. in the White Hilts Baptist church on School street, White Hills, to benefit the White Hills Civic association. Mr. Lamacchia has appeared on Broadway in "Brlgadoon," 'Student Prince," "Robcrla," 'Die Fledermaus," "Showboat," "Mayllme" and "New Moon." le Is the of the former Dr. Jeannette Brcwster, a resident of While Hills i her marriage.

Raymond Thcrrien, of Seymour, teacher of piano, organ and theory, will accompany the soloist. Miss Barbara Zanowitvk, have two loyalties, so to speak." "MY PART of Nonvay is very beautiful, even more so tlian I remembered it. From my parents house where the children and I presently are living, I look across the Trondheims-fjord to tall mountains capped in snow, with forest and green a a sloping down. In back of us, he- hind the city, are other mountains, easily accessible in the winter for skiing and in summer for hiking--with here and there little lakes dropped in Jifce a splash of blue." "Henrik and Carl like it here very much and they are i happy in school--so much so that they look forward to each day. And that is a burden off my mind!" They started in the same grades as in Monroe but are quite a bit younger a their classmates, especially Carl.

They start school at seven years old here, you know." "I just had a conference with their teachers to determine what grades they are to attend in Oslo in the fall, was recommended to Ic-t Carl take Ihird grade over again as he is much as a year younger Irian tha youngest in his class and has not, as they, from the beginning ol "First, second and third grade here has hardly any "frills" and is concentrated on reading, writing and arithmetic. The schoo' day is very short. In fourth grade you blossom out--the day is full, and Henrik says it's very interesting. He will precede into sixth grade where they start their first year of English. That shoulc be easy for him, but he has to catch up on their arithmetic during summer vacaticr.

"It's been green here since tne beginning of May the lawns have to be mowed and I am rather surprised at all the beautiful flowers--how hardy they are for all their dainty looks. The nights are cold and when the sun is not out, one dons a warm sweater immediately." "Talking about the sun--it now 9:30 p.m. and it is brigh' and sunny, no hint of dark as "LAST WEEK was Norway's 'Constitution Day'--the 17th May, when all the schools par aded through the city and waving flags--a new and en joyable experience for Henril and Carl. Yes, for Lille too-who watched the parade with th rest of us, dressed up so prettily in her very best! We brought our American flag with us and proud ly did it wave from the balcony of the hotel." "Whitsunday brings three days of school vacation, and we wil then go up In the mountains to a cabin of my father's, to 'rough it, some. I have not been there in more than 15 years." comes Midsummers Night--the 23rd of 'June, calle( Saint Hans Night, when huge bonfires are lit on beaches anc mountain lops in celebration ol Former Party Head Jailed in Tax Case HARTFORD (AP) Floyd Phelps, 50, of West Willington, town's former Democratic chairman, has been sentenced to a year in prison for income tax evasion, with execu lion to be suspended after CO days.

Mr. Phelps, a businessman and assistant postmaster, receiv cd the sentence yesterday in U. S. District court after plead ing guilty to one count of fail ing to file a tax return. Three others were dropped.

The orig inal charges covered 1951 through 1969, during which timi Mr. Phelps failed to report $94, 000 in income, according to th government. ic mess people make by throw- ng out papers, bottles, garbage could well be used in other rays. Not only is it an cxpen- ive proposition but not a pleas- nt or easy task every morning or men to face in cleaning up fter others. At the Board of Education meeting last week, it was pointed out that there is an increase breaking of windows in the chools and that puts an extra urden on the police department, vho have plenty of problems as it without that.

Funny that peo- ile cannot realize that when 'arious departments are used for duties such as policing a school or picking up debris they will pay or it through taxes and lack ol other services. How thin can our departments spread themselves? low much money can this or any city spend on the carelessness OLIVETTI BUYS STOCK HARTFORD--(UPI) Olivetti Italy yesterday announced it ha bought 50,000 more shares of Un derwood corporation enough to assure its offer buy the rest of the Underwooc stock. Still outstanding are 300, 000 shares that have not beei turned in for the $14.50 a shari Olivetti has offered. Olivetti owns 89 per cent of Underwooc the longest day of the year and i memory of St. John the Baptls whose birthday is said to be June 23, six months before th birth of Christ." "A LOT OF festivities heathen origin arc also said fall on the evening and night be fore the church festivity." "The last day of school is th 25th of June and then the chi dren and will go south to Os! to our new home, to join Ted an start being regulars and not vis tors any more!" "So this greeting to you--to a our friends in Monroe, goes ot from way up Norlli, where th evening still is light with just faint hint of dusk, at after 1 p.

m. The sun is cool but beaut ful and an orchestra of littt birds sings a to sleep, A the best to our friends and neigh bors in Monroe, from Th Borchgrevinks." The conversation with a member of the street de- artinent at the Huntington Pharmacy certainly was an ye opener. The condition of the Huntington Green very morning' is deplorable and a truck has to be sent ut to pick up papers. Of course, this is not the lace in the city this happens. Overview park, where there was carnival this past week has pen another source of trouble the department.

The time pent by the city cleaning up THINGS we learned from a son ust separated from the Air Force fter over a year in Wakkani, apan. If one learns jujitsu your ingerprints and "hands" have to resigtered with the Air Force nd FBI; that the in lis "outpost" just 23 miles from Russian held islands, catch and fish for a livelihood. No mater how long one stays there, 'ou cannot get used to the smell if fish drying on racks. During he winter, when they had nine eet of nosw, the plane would ust circle and dip wings sever al days a week, due to snow fall- ng etc. etc.

He also complained about the humidity there bui certainly was well fed and saw al! the latest shows. Danny Kaye came to put on a show. He also studied hard enough to enter the unior year at Florida State university. In Huntington there are con placed by one of the service clubs saying "Help Keep Huntington Clean" and these are ignored and stuff is all ove the place. THERE ARE some very nic things about Shelton at the pres ent time, however.

The laure at the city hall on stree is especially lovely this year, a it is all over Connecticut. Th' city hall was a private res! dence at one i and the plant ings in most places have bee preserved. One of the most beau tiful shows of laurel is around tb corner by the Horesco home Buudington road. They cleare out a lot of small brush an trees and left just the laure there. WHILE CALLING on the ea and eye clinic to be conducte next week under the sponsorshi of the PTA council, I was pleas antly surprised several times have parents, both men and worn en, tell how much they apprec ated the services at the denta clinic and now the audio-visua one.

So seldom that anyon bothers to tell the volunteers tha they are appreciated. THE "BIG TENT" on th Huntinglon Fire company ground is up for business another yea and the first social will be benefit the Huntington PTA, Las year they did a social to benefi the Elizabeth S. Shelton PTA. I might seem that they can ear money enough themselves but th first one was specifically to ai in their library project. While one has said so, it would seei they want to help the other PTV in the same way.

It would interesting to know how man volunteer hours have been pu into these two and the othe school libraries in the city. Som organizations, such as the VFVJ auxiliary and Griffin Hospital aux iary and many others, give ecognition for volunteer hours. THE SITE development will include a new bituminous pavec driveway, parking areas, new lawn areas with a large informal sunning and outdoor social area, sidewalks to each unit, underground waste receptacles, and clothes drying areas for each apartment. Evergreen, and flow- shrubbery will be provided all units to create a pleas- nt atmosphere. Site lighting wil' provided to illuminate all side- alks during the evening hours.

The office of Val Carlson, arch- ect, A.I.A. of Shelton has de- gned the entire development in onjunction with the local and ate Housing authorities. Joseph arlson, consulting engineer Shelton, and Technical Design ssociates of New Haven have een retained by the architect to oordinate the site development icchanical, electrical and struC' ural work.

Members are: Leonan Valeski, chairman, Francis Bar etto, vice chairman and Frank hesiak, Paul Tiano and George ullivan, commissioners.
