This section of the film opens with a series of maps which show Sweden's location in Europe and Its size in relation to the United States Scenes and statistics give the proportion of Swedish people engaged in agriculture, in- dustry, and other types of employment, as well as the physical nature of the country in which they live. The film then proceeds to outline the form of government and shows the government's relation, to certain industries, namely, lumbering and mining, hydro-electric power, railroads, telephones, the state-con- trolled monopolies in tobacco and alcohol, and to low cost housing A glimpse is also given into the edu- cational system and Sweden's policy for na- tional defense "Very good.

On Midsummer Eve— June 23rd—the peasants gather from all the outlying farms and hillsides, to revive the quaint pagan custom of raising the May-pole, which is covered with their blue and yellow national colors, and decked with garlands of flowers. The thousands of men, women and children, in their gay festive attire, gathered around the pole at twilight, present a most interesting sight The following Sunday, Midsummer Sunday —we see another brilliant spectacle. The peasants, in colorful costumes, assemble from the neighboring mountain farms and in their distinctive parish-boats, which seat upward.s of forty people, row rhythmically across the lake to the famous church at Leksand, built in the fourteenth century A&B NFS B&H $1.50 Ohio Cal $1.50 TwT FC VES $1.50 La VFC SWEDEN.
