Going To Finland In 1852?
Inside Information On Olympic
Games, Tickets On Sale 1851

Helsinki, the capital of Fin
land, is to be the site of the
XVIII Olympiad, July 10 : August
3, 1852.
To the sports-loving Films it
will be great privilege to act as
hosts to the Olympic Games. Keen
ly disappointed at the wartime
cancellation of the 1910 Olympics
scheduled for Helsinki also
they appreciate having been CIV
en- a second chance to welcome
the athletes of the world to their
country.
The Organizing Committee for
the XIV Olympiad began prepara-
tons for the 1852 Olympic games
already in 1947. The work done
in 1888 and 1889 for the 1910
Games has been of great help,
as the various stadiums, sports
fields, etc, then built need only
slight repairs or modernization
now. The question of housing the
visitors to the Olympics is the
most difficult one, but by utiliz-
ing all available hotels and pri-
vate homes, as well as schools and
public buildings, it is expected
that even this problem will be
solved in a reasonably satisfac-
tory manner.
Housing for contestants is we'll
under way. On October 10, 1850,
Mr.. Erik Won Frenckell, chairman
of the organizing committee, Of
ficiated at breaking ground for
the first of the fifteen buildings
that will make up the Olympic
Village, to house the visiting male
athletes. In addition to the. total
543 three and four-room apart
ments, the village will also con-
tain a complete shopping center,
a restaurant seating 1900 persons,
as we'll as laundries, several
"saunas" diminish steam baths)
etc. to cater to the diverse needs
of the foreign athletes. After the
games, the village will be turned
over to ordinary tenants, as was
done with the earlier Olympic
Village, built in 1889.
Women participants will be
housed in three student residences
in the new Tech Town." long

Technology have undertaken to
provide the financing as we'll as
the actual labor The first of these
buildings is already nearing COM
pletion. After the Olympics these
buildings, too, will revert to their
original function of student resi-
dences.
For the benefit of those visitors
who want to travel in Finland be-
fore or after the games. the Fin
nish Tourist Association is maxi
ing elaborate plans to increase the
variety of sightseeing tours of the
country during that summer. The
visitor will therefore have wide
choice of Midnight Sun tours,
Lapland tours, numerous loke-
steamer cruises in the land of co.
900 lakes, etc.
In short, not only the capital of
Finland but the entire Finnish
people, individuals and organiza-
lions, will be proud to welcome
visitors from all over the world
in 1852, and they are doing their
utmost in preparation to assure
their guests the most agreeable
stay possible.
Tickets will go on sale in tie
United States on September L.,
1851. Further information on
ticket sales will be covered in fu-
ture releases.

Big Morse Wage
Boost Unlikely

Eric Brofoss, Norwegian Min
lister of Commerce, does not be-
lieve that wage earners should ex-
pect full compensation for in
creased prices.
Many workers" he, said, seem
to think they are entitled to full
compensation. However, let it be
understood right now that 1907
compensation is not feasible. The
devaluation of the Krone, higher
prices of imported goods and in
creased expenditures for defense
preparations, make full compen-
sation impossible.

New Revelation on Early Viking Mysteries
Viking Traces In Newport Tower
Linked With Swedish Monastery

Hjalmar Ruud Holland, the Nor
wegian scholar intent on finding
missing links in the incOnclusive
chain of evidence regarding early
Viking landings in U. s., herewith
makes another striking revelation.
He has found similarities between
the mysterious Newport Tower,
Rhode Island, and the Varnhem
Monastery in Sweden. In the last
issue we reported his discovery of
a likeness between the Newport
Tower and an old tower in Client,
Belgium.
By Hjalmar Ruud Holland
Stockholm Is a great city with
about 100000 inhabitants and
many places of interest. But 1
found another spot with only a
half dozen houses which l found
more interesting This was Warm
hem in Vastergotland.
Here, some 500 years ago, came
a group of pious men who had shut
their eyes and ears to the prob
lens of the world and settled down
to devote all their time to gaining
their salvation. On the edge of the
fertile Vastergotland plain and up
against Billingen, the high tim
bered ridge on the east, they built
the largest monastery in Sweden
and equal to any in France. 1t is
now in ruins, but the lower part of
all the buildings are still standing,
to height of three to five feet.
Immediately to the north of the
cloister buildings they built their
church, a grand structure in stone,
which is still in excellent condition
and regular use. 1t happens that
the tow er in Newport, Rhode
Island (Which the people there err
roneously think was a windmill for
grinding their grist) has the re-
mains of an altar, and Immediately
below this is an altar cavity for
housing the sacred relics of some
saint, as was the custom in Catho-
lie churches from time immemo-
rial.
1t was therefor necessary in the
study of this tower to ascertain
the correet position of the altar
cavity In old Norwegian churches,
like the Cathedral of Hamar, the
altar cavity is above the altar. In
many churches it is on the wall be-
side the altar. However, as the
Paul Knutsson expedition, who
about 1860 built the Newport tow
er, was made up partly of Nor
wegians and partly of people from
Nasterg0tland, and as one of the
latter wrote the Kensington in
scription, it was highly important
to learn where the altar cavity
was placed in the churches of
Vasterg0tland.
1t was therefore with much rev.
erence and expectancy that l en-
tered this venerable church. There
stood the altar, and l was assured
by the intelligent custodian that it
was the original altar. It's length
was right, and so was its height.
But what of the altar cavity?
There was none above or at the
side: Was it below? The custodian
did not know. Below the altar
table was an embroidered canopy,
and l asked permission to lift it.
There. below the altar, was the
cavity of the sacred relics, just as
in the Newport tower.

WILLIAMS RUM0R I5
 JUST PIPE


 BOSTON, June 2IR-The rains came again here last night and, while washing another Boston ball game, gave everybody concerned ample opportunity to deny the latest Ted Williams trade rumor.
 The latest Williams type explo- sion was story by New York columnist that Williams wanted to be traded to Detroit after the 1850 season.
 Williams, rather belatedly, caught up with the rumor at Fenway Park, just after last nights game with the Cleveland Indians was post poned. He dismissed it with a brief denial
 ''The rumor that I have or will request that be traded by the Red Sox at the end of this season is without foundation" Williams said. Just the idea of playing for any body except owner Tom Yawkey makes me sick"
 With Yawkey out of town, Gen. eral Manager Jo Cronin dismissed the rumor as just somebody's rainy day pipe dream"
