AT Chambersburg Are.
Found in Baltimore
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Nov. 1.-TWO
17-year-old girls who left a FASH
lonable Pennsylvania prepare
tory school and took jobs jerking
sodas in a downtown drugstore
were back in their respective
homes today.
Marion Traendly, whose father
is a prosperous flower merchant
in Rowayton, Conn.,, and Nancy
Steck, whose father owns hotel
at Sea Grit. N. j., were found
here yesterday.
Police said they ran away from
Penn Hall Junior College and
Preparatory School at Chambers
burg, Pa, last Monday rather than
face discipline for unauthorized
visits to skating rink.
Traced to Hagerst0wn.
Their working girl adventure"
ended abruptly after a friendly
shoe salesman. two sailors, a Navy
chaplain and Norwalk (Conn0 po-
lice Capt. George Risi combined
notes to locate them here.
Capt. Risi had been on their
trail all week in a 1852 model
automobile supplied by Marion's
father. John Traendly.
He had traced them to Hagers-
town, Md, where he said they
spent Monday night and where
they were bought bus tickets to
Baltimore by the unidentified shoe
salesman.
The shoe salesman and two
sailors from the cambridge (Md.)
Naval Training Center who had
dated the girls saw their pictures
in paper.
Police Notified.
The salesman notified Baltimore
police as did the chaplain who
had been informed of the girls
whereabouts by the sailors.
Police picked up the girls in an
East Baltimore drug store, where
they planned to earn enough
money to go to Florida. The
sailors, the chaplain, Nancy's
father. the shoe salesman and
two teachers from the Chambers
burg school confronted them in
police headquarters yesterday and
the adventure was over.

grew a-pace with the Seattle Nor
wegians. This urge and demand
made itself felt all along the line,
and cropped out in plannings and
discussions of plans for a new
building. A great number of such
planning movements finally led 10
the creation or formation of the
present Norway Center Incorpor-
ated. This is State of Washing
ton Corporation). This was the
step required to set the wheels in
motion. The will was there, and
the means could always be found
among people united for action.
The project was assured. The par
ticipating Norwegian organizations
signed up for an initial basic in
vestment of $132,OOO.OO as con-
trolling capital. The building would
be good for the balance.
A Monument to Pioneers, Too
The building plans grew to fili
the many and varied needs of the
participating EXAMINATIONS. 1t was
necessary that the entire set Of
plans be based on not only struc-
tural permanence but also finan-
cial soundness. Through the en-
tire process of planning runs the
central theme of maintaining the
touch of Norwegianism. This
theme has been carried out COM
pletely by unselfish and tireless
cooperation of the building COM
mittee, the architect and artists
who did the designing, and the act
ual builder and his workmen. The
talents for both promotion and
designing can be said to be Nor

Finance Committee Had To
Raise Nearly S250,000

In the fall of 1949 large conf
mttee was appointed from the
participating organizations to as
sist Norway Center in financing
the undertaking by safe of 4HTo
Second Mortgage Building Bonds.
T. Grooming was elected chairman;
Consul c. A. Stang, vice-chairman;
Dagney Shervheim, secretary; Liv
Meyers, financial secretary.
"To sell close to one quarter of
a million dollars worth of bonds
by voluntary help sounded fantas-
TIC" says Mr.. Grooming. I'VE
knew it could be done provided
that the unity and good will could
be maintained"
How could the Norwegian col
ony be made to accept the respon-
sibility for the undertaking and
be given due credit for the achieve
ment? BY what means could it be
made to want to look at the plans
and listen to our story. The So
luton was: clear cut outlines of
the plans, floor by floor, complete
sketches of the location and center
accompanied by estimates of the
need and advantages of a Center;
estimated building cost, income,
and operating expenditures. No
organization turned down our re-
quest for showing and those who
could invested in the new Norway
Center"

I'm spite OF our i.-m belief in
ultimate Success, We moved with
great caution-not to get too far
out on a limb" Grooming adds.

We RAISED A MONUMENT
By Andrew j. Haug
President of Norway Center, Inc.

Since the days of the old Vikings
there has always been an urge
among Norwegians to create some
lasting monument or token of
their having been connected with
any given place in the world. At
present time, one can travel al
most anywhere throughout the
world and find such a structure or
monument telling it's story about
the descendants of the old Viking
race.

and fifty years, while the United
States of America have been in
the process of building, the des-

1t took a man like Edward X.
Center.
Or put it this way: it took a
Norwegian to take the whole mat
ter to heart. Nahum knew and
shared the aspirations and spirit
of Seattle's Norwegian colony to
the point where, as he says, "it
got into my blood"
What finer start, what better
tribute could an architect offer?
AS reticent as Nahum is, there's
no. telling how much of himself
he put into the task. Suffice it
to say that he made about fifteen
schemes before the final plans
were submitted and okayed by the
board of directors, a n about
fifteen schemes afterwards, Just
to make sure the accepted plans
were right.
"All these schemes pointed to
the submitted one and only minor
changes were made" says NAH
lum, who had the approved plans
ready about three weeks after he
was authorized to go ahead with
the job in May of 1949. Even after
the approval, he called in engi-
neerS to double check the plans to
see whether they would suit the
proper architectural effects. That
worked out OK, too.
The Third Had a Charm
However, there's more to the
story of the go-ahead signal and
that concerns the earlier efforts
leading up to it. Here, too, Nah
lum figured prominently He was
authorized to draw plans for the
proposed Norway Center project
at two lots previously purchased
before the third, final and present
site was picked. Norway Center.
Inc. had to cancel building plans
on both of the two previous lots
Though they were sold at a
profit. This was fortunate, as
Nahum points out.
In the first place, the lots We're
too small from planners point
of view; second, they were not
ideally located compared to the
present site, and third, much en-
perience i'm dealing with the pro-
ject idea was gained from the two
frustrated attempts. The third
lot was also cheaper per square
foot.
The site is as important as the
building itself" Nahum main
tains, and he was obviously very
happy when the present site was
approved 1t gave him more free
dom and opportunity to accomp-
lish what he set out to do.
Planning and Design
A half of block of land at West
Thomas Street and Third Ave
West was purchased at cost
of $4,000 This involved an area
120 by $50 feet, more than what
was needed. However. 100 by 100
feet was sold to Associated Gen.
eral Contractors, thus leaving 240
by 100 feet for the Center pro-

cendants Of the old Morse Vikings
have at all times been along with
t he leading pioneers. Dotted
across our continent, we find
structures more or less represent
alive of the old-country styles and
methods of building. 1t is true
that most of these are rather of
less permanent nature of construc-
ton; yet, one can always per-
ceive that there has been a tend
ency toward more lasting con-
struction. Today we find halls
and buildings controlled by our
Norwegian organizations in nearly
all parts of the country, without
many exceptions, and they are
credits to their localities.
Morse Terminal in Seattle
The Puget Sound area, and more
especially Seattle, has naturally
become the terminal of a west
ward movement of the Norwegian
people. Nature, latitude, and many
other factors, have combined to
make this section of the adopted
land so much like the shore from
which these people came, that it is
but natural for them to tarry
here. They have indeed settled in
numbers, and their undertaking.
are not only numerous but of con-
siderable moment in the affairs
of this part of the country. AS
they have increased in number and
prosperity, the urge to create a
lasting monument TO Norsedom
for this section of the country has
become a real issue. The very
first Pioneers had their dreams of
lasting structures, and til e r
dreams have been revivified by
each succeeding group of leaders
among the Seattle Norwcgians.
Start of Dream
While Seattle was yet very
young. and its population mucn
smaller than today, the old Nor
way Hall was built. 1t was out
standing at its time. 1t was indeed
Norwegian from start to finish.
1t was naturally limited in size.
and for several reasons not of very
permanent type of construction.
The original builders predicted
that Seattle was yet in its in
fancy, and that a much larger and
more fitting building would have
to be erected by the Norwegians
in time to come.

What was Mahlum's biggest
problem?
Planning and keeping every
thing within budget limitations.
says he, explaining that the best
possible at the least possible eX-
pense," was the prime motive.
This practical approach eliminated
elaborate designs. Nahum is
grateful that the board was partly
composed of some practical-mind-
ed builders.
Essentially, the design of the
building was based on require
ments of the board, such as the
capacity of various halls, etc, and
Mahlum'S intent to plan from d
central point, "a heart, thus
utilizing space and providing ac-
cess to halls and rooms in &C
cordance with the most practical
considerations. The hillside on
which the Center was built proved
an asset, too, as it helped hold
down costs, and best of all. pro-
vided the natural setting and ele-
ment for a more interesting de-
sign.
No PrecOnceived Ideas
AS far as the interior is con-
cerned, what did Nahum want to
accomplish most of all?
To plan SO that various fune-
tons could be held in the vari-
Gus halls and rooms without undue
interference with each other" is
his reply.
Alphabetically says Nahum.
the project was an honest attempt
to solve a problem without pre-
conceived ideas.
However. Mahlums past archi-
tectural experience certainly had
considerable bearing on the high
quality of planning, too. He has
helped plan or design bigger build

Defense Agency Approves
ass Rapid Tax Write-0ns

The Defense Production Ad-

proval of 456 certificates for
rapid tax write-offs on new or

This brings the number Of
facilities given such aid to 4,1l9
and the total proposed invest
ment to $3.50 billion.
The certificates enable the
company adding to plant or equip
ment useful in defense produc-
ton to write off a stated per-
centage of the investment in five
years. This reduces taxes. Or
dinarily the preiod for depreciat-
ing new facilities averages about
20 years.
A moratorium on issuance Of
certificates has been in effect since
