Dancing Danes Impress Senior
Americans have nothing on the Danes when it comes to dancing, according to Marilyn McIntire, Oregon, Mo., senior, who lived in Denmark with a Danish family in July and August.
Dancing is a very popular recreation in Denmark and during the summer there are usually two or three dances a week, Miss McIntire said.
"The friendly atmosphere at the dances differ from that in America," she said. "When a girl has a date to a dance here she usually dances with few persons besides her date. While in Denmark, everyone dances with everyone.

Dancing Begins Young
"Practically all Danish children begin dancing lessons when they are very young and continue the lessons through high school. Their dancing is typical ballroom dancing and the music has the tendency of a polka beat.

"Girls can go to a dance properly in a group as long as there is one boy to escort them."
She lived with the Swend Andersen family in the small town of Fbeltoft, on the peninsula of Jutland of Denmark.
Miss McIntire went to Denmark with The Experiment in International Living, an organization independent of the University.
"Ebeltoft is characteristically 'old country,' just like something from the pages of Hans Christian Andersen, with cobblestone streets and steep slate roofs," Miss McIntire said.
The program of American students living with European families is an effort to promote international understanding on an individual basis. European students also come to the United States to live with American families.
"I went to Denmark with the attitude of becoming a daughter of the family I lived with." Miss McIntire said.
Family Relationships Close She explained that the family relationship was very close and that children are catered to because the Danes consider childhood a golden age.
"Generalization of a nationality is one of the worst things possible," she said. "The Danish people have the concept that America is Marilyn Monroe, flashy cars and juvenile delinquency."
"The trip gave me a greater insight to myself and to my actual living situation here."

Sloeberry Pie on my new three-button suit
"I had just bought it, and was proud of it—to-the-minute in collegiate style.
"The waitress at the restaurant was new—probably her first day—and she
dropped a generous piece of juicy sloeberry pie into my lap.
"After recovering from the initial shock, I thought of (who else but. . . ?) LAWRENCE LAUNDRY AND DRY CLEANERS.
"Sure enough-the suit came back perfectly done, looking just as it did when I bought it.
"Ive found that I can depend on L.L. & D.C. They do things RIGHT—every time."
