Það má því með sanni segja,
að þau hafi komið, séð og
sigrað.
höndum Karl Frederick,
ræðismaður íslands hér í borg.
Leysti hann hlutverk sitt af
hendi með prýði og smekk-
vísi eins og hans var von og
vísa.
Segja má, að hátíð þessi
hafi um allt tekizt með ágæt-
um. Skemmtikraftar allir
mjög góðir, maturinn vel úti
látinn og prýðisgóður. Að-
sókn var einnig í betra lagi
eða freklega 150 manns.
Öllum þeim, sem á einn
eða annan hátt, unnu að und-
irbúningi þessarar hátíðar-
og gleðistundar og gerðu
hana eins eftirminnilega og
raun ber vitni, vil ég af heil-
um hug þakka ágæt störf.
Síðast en ekki sízt ber að
þakka heiðursgestunum og
öðrum skemmtikröftum fyrir
framúrskarandi skemmtiskrá.
Að loknu borðhaldi gafst
fólki kostur á að heilsa upp
á heiðursgestina og rabba við
þá örlitla stund.
Hér í Seattle dvöldu sendi-
herrahjónin aðeins í þrjá
daga, en á þeim stutta tíma
eignuðust þau fjölda vina,
sem lengi munu minnast
hingað komu þeirra. Fram-
koma þeirra öll er svo hlý og
elskuleg að manni finnst
strax við fyrstu kynni, að
maður hafi alltaf þekkt þau.
Yið hjónin vorum svo lán-
söm, fyrir hugulsemi Karls
Fredericks ræðismanns, að
njóta þeirrar ánægju að aka
þessum góðu gestum, ásamt
Karli, til Tacoma þar sem
setið var hádegisverðarboð á
hinu fagra heimili þeirra Dr.
og Mrs. Phillip Fredericks,
sem er sonur ræðismannsins.
Einnig sat boð þetta Richard
bróðir Phillips læknis, en
hann er búsettur í Oregon-
ríki, þar sem hann gegnir
ábyrgðarmiklu e m b æ 11 i.
Þetta ágætis fólk sýndi okk-
ur helztu staði í Tacoma og
nágrenni. Dagur þessi var um
allt hinn ánægulegasti. Vil
ég því hér með, fyrir mína
hönd og konu minnar, þakka
læknishjónunum frábærar
móttökur og skemmtilega við-
kynningu.
Seattle-íslendingar þakka
af einlægum hug sendiherra-
hjónunum komuna hingað og
óska þeim blessunar guðs og
manna í hinu ábyrgðarmikla
og virðulega hlutverki, sem
þau gegna fyrir hönd þjóðar
sinnar í Washington, D.C.

FOUNDER OF CLINIC
TO TRAVEL ABROAD
A six-month leave of
absence has begun for Dr.
Jon V. Straumfjord, founder
of the Astoria Clinic. This
will be his longest vacation in
30 years of practice here.
On July 14, Dr. and Mrs.
Straumfjord will fly to Ice-
land where they will spend
several weeks as tourists. The
doctor hopes to see some of
the medical facilities and
mental institutions of that
country.
Dr. Straumfjord, who is of
Icelandic extraction and has
spoken the language since
childhood, will also act as a
delegate from the American
Medical Association in estab-
lishing a permanent and
friendly relation with the
medical association of Ice-
land.
On August 5, the Straum-
fjords will fly from Iceland to
Norway. They will purchase
a car in Oslo and drive
through Norway, Sweden and
Denmark. In Denmark they
will be joined by Mrs. A. Nord-
ing, a cousin of Mrs. Straum-
fjord who resides in Copen-
hagen. From Copenhagen the
group will drive through
Germany where they will
stop at Waldorf, Astoria’s
sister city. They will also
visit friends in Heidelberg
and Reutlingen. They will go
from Germany to Baal,
Switzerland and then to Paris.
From Paris they will fly to
Algier where Dr. Straum-
fjord will spend October
working as an internist under
the MEDICO program there.
MEDICO, a service of CARE
which was co-founded by the
late Dr. Tom Dooley, acts as
a vehicle whereby practicing
physicians and clinicians
volunteer their services over-
seas in areas of great need
where the opportunity exists
for cooperation with, and
training of, local medical per-
sonnel. When Algeria gained
its independence in July,
1962, fewer than 200 doctors
were left to care for 11 million
people, many suffering from
epidemic diseases and war
injuries. MEDICO rushed in
emergency teams of doctors
and nurses; now eight doctors
are on duty in Algiers, each
serving for one month.
Following his work in Al-
geria, the doctor and his wife
will fly to England where
they will spend two weeks
before saling for the United
States. Their ship, the
Holland-America line’s Rott-
erdam, is scheduled to arrive
in New York November 27.
The Straumfjords plan to
ship their car ahead so it will
be awaiting them when they
reach New York. They will
then use it to drive through
the US visiting friends and
relatives. Their first stop will
be in Birmingham, Ala., to
visit their son, Dr. Jon V.
Straumfjord Jr. He is a
clinical pathologist in charge
of the pathology department
at the University of Alabama
Medical Center. This will be
followed by a short stay with
friends in New Orleans, La.
They will then drive to the
Pacific coast and stop at San
Diego, Calif., to see another
son Dr. Robert Straumfjord,
who is finishing his residency
at San Diego County hospital.
They will then spend several
days with Mrs. Straumfjord’s
sister in Fresno, Calif., before
returning to Astoria. Dr.
Straumfjord will return to his
practice at the clinic in Janu-
ary.
