nation for me. There is a
legend—several books have
been written on the subject—
that the Danes have their
origin in the Tribe of Dan, one
of the ten “lost” tribes of
Israel. Indeed, some of the
ancient landmarks I came
upon during my visit appeared
to bear testimony to this fact.
For example, at the old royal
seat in Jutland’s town of Jell
ing there are some Viking
graves marked by huge stones.
In the compound facing the
famous Runic rocks which had
been raised in memory of Den
mark’s first King, Gorm the
Old (900-950), stand two rows
of silch rock-pillar monuments,
each of which containing spe
cifically seven forming a sort
of candelabra. The number
seven was the basic numerical
symbol of the ancient He
brews. Also, “Denmark,” in its
basic composition, means
simply the “mark”’ of Dan. If
this is true, namely, that the
Danes in the main represent
the tribe of Dan, then one
might begin to understand the
strong instinctive affinity
existing between them and the
Jewish peoples.
My visit to Copenhagen
eventuated via the comfort of
a Pan American World Air
ways Clipper which makes
four trips weekly direct from
New York to the Danish Capi
tal. Pan Am personnel, always
on hand, facilitated my Danish
visit with abundant tourist
data, maps, information on
hotels, motels and restaurants.
Its Copenhagen office is staff
ed by a large group of amiable
Danes headed by Christian
Pedersen.
Four Days In Copenhagen

Denmark may be all too brief,

has worked out three alterna
tive suggestions for a seven-
day visit—any one of which
can give the tourist an excel
lent picture of the country as
a whole. Pan Am personnel ad
vised me to select the one
which combines a four-day ex
ploration of Copenhagen and
vicinity and a three-day motor
coach “Fairytale Tour” which
circles the country.
Each of the four davs spent
in Copenhagen afforded me a
real insight into the life and
highlights of the fascinating
city. Included among the ex
cursions were the afternoon

the Capital; the "Lifesaving
Tour”; the “World of Tomor

Crafts Tour”; the “Royal
