Border Jakobselv Easter 1949 nothing new from the border in the north A 160-kilometer strip of virgin snow from the outlet of the border Jakobselv to Borderfoss in Pasvikdalen, becomes the only common border the Atlantic Pact countries with the Soviet Union when Norway joins the A-covenant. Aktuell went along the border and talked to the people living there. The 65-year-old merchant Johan Evjen has the country's easternmost shop, a tiny little room with old-fashioned bowl weight and kerosene lamps. The little girls Turid and Villgunn Hanslien go to the mother. For many, it is a long way to the merchant. Photo; Sverre A. Børretzen / Aktuell / NTB
