 **Ernst Røgler sends the following information:**

 Last summer, the "Norges Vegetariske Landsforbund", which was founded in 1930 by Ernsts father, joined with a vegetarian youth association.

 The new society is called "Norsk Vegetarforening" and has 300 members. They work together with other groups of similar ideas, like animal rights. Unity makes stronger! All the collaborators in the society are volunteers.

 They put a special emphasis on giving information to the public through press, radio and in their magazine "Vegetarnytt" which has 1000 copies. They organize cooking courses and give out recipes . A vegetarian library and a health food store is at their disposition. Several times a year they have a stall in Oslo where they distribute leaflets and vegetarian food from Ernsts restaurant "Vegeta". Vegeta is in the center of the city and offers vegetarian dishes to upto 400 guests a day. The restaurant is also meeting-point for their monthly assemblies and in december there is going to be a big Christmas Party.

A note on this archive. The history section of this website is drawn from a body of legacy content originally compiled by John Davis, former manager of the International Vegetarian Union. It represents his curation of historical material, and in places includes passages written by him directly.

Over the years, the IVU website has migrated between several different hosting servers. In the course of these migrations, a number of PDF files were unfortunately lost, and **some links to PDF documents may no longer function**. Where this is the case, we have chosen to leave the original link text in place, as it may itself carry information of historical value.
