the Russian establishment at Pork
kala.
In March, 1913, the Firms and
Russians signed mutual assist
ance pact that in effect makes
them allies in a future war. $50
you see," said one unenthusiastic
Finn recently, "what will happen
If you Americans go to war with
Russia. We will have to fight
you."
Less than an hours train ride
westward from Helsinki is the off
limits Porkkala area, where the
Russians have established a naval
base on territory leased from Fin
land. From this base the Rus
slams can control the entrance to
the Baltic Sea from the Gulf of
Finland; also, it gives them
strong point in vital portion of
the country.
Poor Peep Show
Riding the "Porkkala Special
is a little experience all by itself.
The train stops a safe distance
outside of Russian territory. and
genuine iron curtains rattle
down over the windows; in place
of the Finnish countryside, there
are just rusty metal plates to adj
mire.
After a special locomotive and
crew has been attached, the nom
sightseeing tour starts. Bright
yellow signs in every car warn
passengers that During the
trains passage through the Pork
kala area, entrance to the vesti-
bule or car platform as we'll as
any attempt to observe the ter
rain is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN.
In the twenty minutes it takes
to pass through what the Firms
call the longest tunnel in the
world the only thing curious
passenger can see through a
crack at the bottom of the cur
tain is the dirty snow along the
track.
The Russians run a very poor
peep show.

Ny Father,

Olaf Strandwold, was born i'm
Cass County, North Dakota,
January IL, 1871. His father
was the first settler in that
county and operated a post Of
flee and stage station when Dad
was small boy.
His schooling was obtained in
schools of the area. Later he
attended Concordia College,
MOOrhead, Mimi, and the Uni
versity of North Dakota at
Grand Forks. He began teach
ing at an early age, and con-
tinued teaching in North Dako-
ia until he came West in 1902.
He settled at Prosser, Washing
ton, Benton County,, where he
had small farm. He also con-
tinued in the educational field,
teaching many years in rural
schools of the county. He served
as Deputy County Superinten-
dent of Schools for a number of
years, and was later elected to
the office of Superintendent of
County Schools for two terms.
His interest in the runic writ
ing of the NOrsemen began
many years ago. His first pub
LEGATION was released i'm 1885.
1t was a pamphlet containing
his translation of an inscription
found on a stone near Var
mouth, Nova Scotia. Later, 1889
he published a second work
Morse Inscriptions Along The
Atlantic SeabOard", from which
the cuts came of which you
spoke.
He made two trips to the At
lantic Coast to see the stones
for himself, and to meet with
other people interested in the
subject. Most of the translat-
ing was done, however, from
excellent photographs furnished
him by people in the area. He
was so well versed on the SUBJ
ject that many of the inscrip-
tons were deciphered readily.
In all, 1 believe he worked on
the subject for between Is and
20 years. New Stones with in
scriptions are being uncovered
regularly, so he would have had
much more work ahead had he
lived.
He died Dec. l, 1949, at the
age of nearly 70.

of several seats from their former
strength. The strongest commun-
ist membership is in the northern
part of the country, among the
timber workers. AS working and
living conditions in that area are
! improved, there is good hope that
the strength of the party will dim
inish.
In the same election and in the
face of Soviet disapproval, the
Firms further asserted their indie
pendent convictions by re-electing
their rightist president, Julio Kus-
ii Paasikivi = hardly convention
al conduct for a nation under the
communist domination.
Pussy-fOOted Russians
Nevertheless the Finnish people
live with the SOLDERING knowledge
that whenever they choose the
Russians can brush across the bor-
der and accomplish by force what
the Finnish communist party has
failed to do by more peaceful
means. Thus far the Russians
have pussy-footed, not out of con-
sideration for Finnish opposition,
but for more subtle reasons. The
theory goes that they fear agrees
sive action against Finland would
awaken reaction amongst the
western nations, l. e. the United
States, the result of which might
overbalance any advantage gained
through the occupation of Fin
land. When the Russians come to
the point where they feel this re-
action can be disregarded, the
Firms figure they will had it."
1t is here that the assertion of
domination" has its real basis
in the military aspect, where the
Russians have the angles neatly
nailed down.
Finland viii Be at War With US.
By the Paris peace treaty of
1917, Finland's army, navy and
air force is limited to about $4,000
men, supplies with largely obso-
lete equipment. To reduce her ef-
fectiveness still further, Finlands
military supplies and material
have been concentrated at a few
points, leaving great sectors be-
You'd quick protection. In addi-
ton Russia has been accorded use
of Finnish rail lines, both for ship
ment 10 and from Sweden, and to
Scandinavian American. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1945-1958, 1950-03-14
Suede Studies
Egypt's Golden
AgeExtensiyely

Egypt's Golden Age from 1900
to 1900 b. c. is the object of re-
search, on the basis of hitherto
largely unpublished material, by
DIR. T. Save-SOderbergh, of Up
saia University, for account of
whom research fellowship for
an underlined period is included in
this years national Swedish bud
get estimates.
According to DR.. Save-Soder-
bergh, British research institute
has asked him to accept for publ
cation certain material that is ex-
ceptionally rich and Illuminating
from many points of view. 1t con-
sists of copies of paintings and
basreliefs from tombs of officials
who lived in the capital Thebes
during this historically perhaps
most interesting period of Egypt

His book goes into his method
in detail and approximates a COM
plete course in runic. 1t was in
tended to enable student to
translate new-found rune stones
for himself.
To get back to our hero, Aun,
Strandwold found him mentioned
on the Grave Creek tablet discov-
cred in one of two tombs at
Moundsville, w. Va. The Man,
moth Mound on the Ohio River at
this point is a nationally famous
landmark believed constructed by
the Mound Builders. 1t was dis
covered in 1771 but was not OPEN
ed until 1888, when two galleries
were driven at separate levels to
it's center, where the tombs were
found, one above the other. In
addition to the human skeleton,
quantities of beads, mica frag-
ments, small sea shells and five
copper Wristbands. the explorers
found small inscribed stone.
