Strandpold Gives Accounts of Morse Landings

stating: Il knelt on the island,
Aun's yule site on meadow island.
Now after being dedicated the is
land is sanctury (hodd) where
holy things are boarded
Again the name of Aun appeared
on two rocks picked up at Byfield,
Massachusetts. Strandwold read
this on one:
Overland route; Aun set the
stane (marker)."
On the other he found:
ice holds Aun God raise him
to Heaven
Strandwold wrote, "All these in
scriptions relating to Aun indi-
cate he was a leader among his
people who finally died in ship
wreck and his memorial was
placed among many others at By
field. That Aun inscribed the
Newport tower seems conclusive,
when taken along with the sagas
and the many stones strung out
along our ATLANTIC seaboard."
Aun's fate also may have been
tied up with pair of inscriptions
relating to sea disaster. One at
Byfield, according to translation,
implored, "Resurrect the men on
sea island, Jesus" The other,
picked up at West NewburX, not
far away, bore two lines, the up
per being Christian and stating,
On the ice are "a men on an
island. God, on dry land is Yule-
tide The lower line, Strandwold
interpreted as a heather invoca-
ton imploring Thor to use the
magic power of the runic alphabet
to save these men from cruel
fate.
The author said that Inulan ira
dition tells of an ancient ship
wreck of white men and that the
disaster is referred to on a monu-
ment in Norway. He inferred that
it could have taken place near
Monhegan Island, off Bristol, Me.
One of the most important trans
lations in the book concerns a
stone from No Mans Land. an
island just south of Martha's Vine
yard, which the author said was
inscribed:
Left Erickson's Island 80 men"
He believed that a ships crew of
80 men raised the monument and
dedicated the island to Left. He
pointed out that Morse sagas say
that Leif's brother, Thorward, led
the second Morse expedition to
America and that he had a crew
of 80 men.
Strandwold turned to museums,
etymologists and other learned
sources in his effort to decode the
ancient inscriptions brought to his
attention. His files were filled
with photographs of inscribed
stones from every land touched by
the Norsemen. If his conclusions
find favor, our children some day
will be studying in their school
books that Left Erickson not only
belongs on the first page of any
American history, but that his
countrymen We're on this continent
in large numbers in the 18th Gen.

The author maintained he found
the key to translating inscribed
stones which have been picked up
in Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
Maine and West Virginia. He ar
rived at a method of understand
ing runic numerals and placed the
American inscriptions b t w e e
1902 and 1O49 A. D., only a few
wears after Left Ericsson is sup
posed to have reached Vinland
southern New England) and more
than 200 years before the expe-
dition described on the controver-
sial Kensington Stone found in
Minnesota.
From the pages of Strand
wold's little book energies a char
acter new in American history, a
leader named Aun, whom the run
ologist believed left his mark in
four places. One of them was
stone in Newport's famous and
mysterious stone tower, the very
building about which Longfellow
wrote his poem, The Skeleton in
-Armor," wherein "a Viking Wild
as. the verse goes:
There for my lady's bower
Built 1 the lofty tower,
Which to this very hour,
Stands looking seward
Some have asserted that this
structure was a windmill erected
by Benedict Arnold, first governor
of Rhode Island. Others reasoned
it may have been headquarters Of
the Morse expedition mentioned on
the kensington stone. StrandWold
said it conforms with a type OF
North European architecture OF
not later than 1900 A. D. and that
an inscription was discovered on
it in 1916 at place IA feet above
the base. He translated the letter
ing as stating, "Aun, year H.
and said this indicated that Aur
was at the spot in 1910 A. D.
Through study of ancient Morse
calendars he learned that Ari Fro

ian, reckoned time before and af-
ter 1000 A D., when Christianity
came to Iceland. The Norsemen
of that period did not possess Ell
Their Arabic or Roman numerals,
so they employed the 16 letters of
their alphabet to record dates.
When the numbers were over 16
they required more than one rune,
each having an established place
in the runerow. Thus, recasting
the line UN AR S into English
letters, Strandwold had the equiv

Death Terminates
St-WeSt Love

CHICAGO, Ill, Dec. 13-Death
closed the books on an East-Wsst
romance when the Japanese sweet
heart of an American seaman sue
cumbed to the ravages of consump-
ton. This was revealed upon the
receipt of a telegram from Japan to
Philip Banchik of this city that
death recently claimed the life of
Takako Kurooka of Nagoya.
It was disclosed that Ensign IrV-
ing Banchik, who is now in living in
Portland Oregon, met Miss Kuro-
Okla while serving in Japan. The
japanese miss was serving as an IN
terpreter in the war crime trials
when she became i'll of tubercu-
losis. A graduate of an American
missionary college, Miss Kurooka
taught school for short period.
Although Ensign Banehik liked
the japanese girl very much, he ex-
planned that marriage was impos-
sible. When she became i'll, the
seaman got his father to send hel
food packages and drugs. In De-
cember ,1948, Banehik sent a pack
age containing 5000 worth of strep-
tomycin, an anti-tuberculosis drug
but it was seized at the army post
office in Nagoya because the customs
regulations were violated. The IA
ther estimated that thousands oil
dollars had been spent in food ano
drugs.
However, all this was in vain. Ia
kako Kurooka succumbed to the ill
ness.

TIPS ON APPLES


With the wide choice of Washing
ton apples offered for use in fall and
winter menus, the homemaker's pro-
blem of low cost fruit desserts is
solved.
Bake the Rome Beauty variety
for the favorite family dessert. Stuff
thu cored out center of the apple
with nuts, raisins or brown sugar.
Place a marshmallow on top of the
center and allow it to melt as the
apple bakes For party fare, spread
Grange marmalade over the top of
a baked apple and pop it under the
broiler for a few minutes until the
marmalade bubbles.
Do the red jackets of your apples
burst and slip off during the bak-
ing period? Try one of these tech
niques for beauty's sake. Peel one
half inch of skin from the very top
of the apple around the cored-out
end, or. with a pairing knife, pierce
the skin in several places above and
below the largest diameter OF the
apple. Be sure to check your oven
temperature. This will help to pre-
vent too rapid formation of steam
and bursting of the apple jacket.
Apple pie with cheese, America S
all-time favorite dessert is at its
best with Washington Winesap APP
pies. Add one-half cup cheddar
cheese to the dry ingredients as you
prepare your pie crust, for a quick
and differenl way of serving this
dessert combination Apples, pre-
cooked three to five minutes, will,
when added to the pastry shell, give
Well-finished pie.
Substitute brown sugar for part
of the white sugar in the recipe to
enhance the rich, subtle flavor
Sprinkle in some cinnamon and a
dash of nutmeg to bring out the
spicy goodness of the apples
