They showed slides which they had taken in Norway and Iceland. As commentator, Mrs. Sparling pointed out that Iceland is not a cold country as the average temperature in winter is 32ldegress summer and in sumeg 55 degress F. Early. in June there is only a short, period of darLness. Homes and swimming pools are heated by thermal springs which are very hot reaching over 500 degress F at times. Because there is no need to burn fuel, the capital city, is smokeless. There is a rich c`ul ure in Iceland with crime and poverty unknown. Volcanoes and glaciershave ruined much of the farm land in Iceland. Most of the population live in" the farming areas and along the coast. As projectionist Everett Spading showed slides of the beautiful scenery. The areas visited were reached by train, bus, ferry and from Oslo to Iceland by air. The Sparl- ing& found the countries interesting with spectacular scenery. Tourist accommoda- tion is also excellent.
