they would have to make up for
the loss.
The deal paid off handsomely.
The group Melted 100000 from
the sale of their stock in the well,
and Morse Home Inc. was sud-
denly endowed with grand total
of 100000 in cash. With these
funds, new board, headed by
Paul Berg, was elected in April
1854 and launched a new phase of
the undertaking. Construction be-
gan December 6, 1855.
Nahum and Buschmann were in
the forefront of the campaign to
press for legislative action h a t
could aid projects like Morse
Home. They actively engaged US.
Senators Jackson and Magnuson,
all the states congressman and
Governor Langlie to seek such ac-
ton. A pending house bill proposed
federal long-term loans to aid the
building of housing for the aged.
But it had been tabled in the rules
committee.
1--WE told Jackson, Pelly, Langlie
and others to move heaven and
earth, if need be, to get some ac-
ton on that BILL" says Nahum.
Then another bill with a different
provision was passed the next to
last day before adjournment AS a
result, .non-profit organizations
can now obtain FILA insurance of
mortgages on housing the eyre
building for the aged"
Three high FILA officials came
to Seattle this fall to inspect
Morse Home while preparing regu-
lations for the new policy.
1.-The FILA measure and the
Presidents decision gives Morse
Home a green light all the way"
Nahum concludes. And it also
clears the way for other similar
projects to proceed full speed
ahead e"
Perhaps the high-minded pur-
poses which energized Norwegian
hackers to work without personal
gain, was an even greater asset
than the efforts made to enlist
federal aid. Without that spirit,
and the good cooperation of the
board. Morse Home would h ave

Happily it also appears to have
played some part in promoting the
growing national concern for

To Make vikinq
Film In Norway

OSLO (NIS)-Norway's west

setting for So million Wide
Screen color film about the Vik-
ings, reports Bergens Tidende. 1t
will be made by Kirk Douglas
new company, Bryna Productions,
starting next April, with the Hol-
lywood movie star playing the
leading part. Noel Langley's script
will be based on Eddison Marshal's
novel "The Vikings" !.
According to Messrs. Ris7k
Fleischer and Jerry Bresler, re-
spectively director and producer of
the film venture, the bulk of the
exterior scenes will be shot in
western Norway. probably in the
Sognefjord. Several hundred Nor
wegians will be hired as extras, to
assist the company of 5000 ac-
tors and cameramen coming from
Hollywood. Tentative plans also
call for construction of a whole
Viking Age village and three Vik-
ing longboats.
Messrs. Fleischer and Bresler
were recently in Bergen to con-
suit with specialists of the Ber-
gen University and the Bergen
Maritime Museum on technical
and historical data. They also
toured the fjords to look for a
suitable location.

Easy Trip To

OSLO, (NIS)-A group of Nor

press and newsreel photographers,

inspecting the tunnel blasted to

way, they reached a point near
the summit in less than one hour.
The reporters started the journey

Ii 1t were not for the monuments
plaques, markers and shrines that dot our
beloved Republic dark indeed would be the
past They are like gold-hearted lilies that
bloom in the swamp of the dark past Here
at these shrines the soul returns to inspire
us as we mediate upon devotion and service
There are enduring frames that hold the
angel presences. Here ancient settings come
to life, and silently hope takes wings and
sails again upon the boundless sea of inspira-
tion-and we go on refreshed.
In the shadow of these marble trees,
over and over again the miracles of the past
are performed before our eyes.
Hardly any city in our land is without
some marker, monument, plaque or homely
sign, bringing to memory a great soul or
noble deed that was done in freedoms name.
Ours have been prophets of new order
- the dreamers OF great plans that would
make our land little closer to the infinite
dream the Master Soul has shaped for His
children. Ours have been singers of songs
that inspired a quicker tempo in the forward
march of the race. Ours hung great lights
in the heavens for all to see. Ours were
WeaVerS ana were woven IN tne Dr1Snter
fabrics of common life. Ours created a sys-
tenn in which all are equal before God and
the law of the land-a Republic in which all
are kings, uncrowned except for high dignity
of mind, body and soul.
Is it any wonder, then, that we have
erected monuments and shrines all over our
country? We love our rocks and rills and
tempted hills-but far more, we love the
immortals who have helped to make our
Republic the Lighthouse of the world.
Our Republic has become the age of
Gods creators-men who have lifted the
curse of drudgery and toll from the backs
of burdened men. America has brought forth
any army of Messiahs shaped from iron
steel, brass and gold-giants that do mans
bidding driven by atomic, steam and elec
trio energy. Is it any wonder we have dotted
our land with monuments as timely guide
posts pointing the way to greater and
grander events in the days that are yet to
be?
They are friendly reminders of the
torch bearers of the past and point that way
to the golden age that is yet to be. John
Gray symbolizes the spirit of our founding
fathers who gave us our American Republic.
That is why we erect a suitable monument
to his memory, LEST we forget, lest we
forget"
