Main 772-221 1 WASHINGTON (UPI) - At last scientists have found the remains of a Viking community in North America. The settlement was founded nearly 500 years before Christo pher Columbus sailed to the New World in 1492. It mav well be the Vinland which, according to the Ice landic sagas, was established around 1000 A.D. by ben Brie son, popularly known in his day as Leif the Lucky. It is on the northern tin ol Newiouna- land near the fishing village of J'Anse Aux Meadows. The discovery of what so far appears to be the only scientif ically authenticated Norse re mains in America was made bv the Norwegian explorer Dr. Helge Instad, who reported his findings at a news conference here Tuesday. Studies "Road Map" He found it after years of misdirected effort by studying a "road map" made by Leif and reported in detail by the sagas. The sagas are legendary Norse narratives, handed down by word of mouth from genera tion to generation. The saeas say Leif and his fleet of longboats sailed from western Greenland around 1000 A.D., arrived at the coast of Labrador, sailed down the coast until they passed a steep sided island in a fairly large fiord, and wound up a short distance beyond at a sandy strand fringed by luxuriant grasslands. According to modern lin guists, the "vin" in Vinland meant grass. And according to Dr. Junius Bird of the Ameri can Museum of Natural His tory, if vou follow the route de scribed in the sagas to the site excavated by Instad, , "you can't miss It." Discovery Almost Miracle Nevertheless, "it was almost a miracle," Bird said, that In stad found anything at all to unearth. The old Norse build ings, nine houses and a primi tive smithy, were built of sandy sod which long since has crum bled, leaving only tneir outlines plus some typical Norse hearths and the rusty remains of Viking iron smelting. If, in tne nearly iu centuries since the settlement was aban doned, somebody had planted potatoes or other crops over I ho nlrl huilrlino sites, the evi dence would have been de stroyed forever.

By H. D. QUICG MINNEAPOLIS (UPI) - Ec centric is the word for Tilmer Eugene Thompson. Regarding insurance, that is. In the middle of the little criminal lawyer's trial for the murder of his wife Tuesday, while the state was piling up evidence the defendant had amassed $1,055,000 in life insur ance on his wife in 11 months prior to her bludgeon-knife slay, ing, the defense asked an in' terestine question. 'Would vou say tnat uene was an eccentric regarding in surance of all kinds?" Defense attorney Hyam Segell asked an agent who had procured $700,000 in life insurance for Thompson in little over a month. "Yes," said the witness, James Richard Treanor, a com missioned agent for Travelers Insurance Co. He was the fourth prosecution witness called during the second day of testimony. Then, on cross examination, Treanor began elaborating on the 35-year-old Thompson's pur ch&scs. He had $100,000 liability insur ance on his home for things like tripping on rugs at a time when $10,000 was considered normal and $50,000 way up there. Extensive Auto Insurance And take the matter of auto insurance, he said. Thompson had $10,000 property damage. $3,000 medical, a total disability auto accident policy that pro vided $50 a week until death or recovery, an accidental death that provided $10,000 on death in operation of a land motor ve hicle, full comprehensives on two autos, $25 towing and la bor, and some others. "He had everything we could write for him in very substan tial amounts," Treanor said, re ferring to auto insurance. However, his driving may have been somewhat eccentric too: "His accident loss record was such that Travelers can celed him out." Treanor, a friend of the Thompsons, also testified that Thompson "indulged his wife a bit," that "the two got along very well," and that Thompson "would have done anything to keep her happy." ThomDson's wife stood to in herit a fortune from her par ents estimated up to $1 million. Around Feb. 6, 1962, Thompson began pressing for huge amounts of insurance on his wife, plus double indemnity for accidental deaui, wim sucn a "sense of urgency," Treanor testified, that he sent a letter to the company home office. Jury Hears Letter Striking for the defense, Se gell read the letter to the jury. It said the company should re alize that "Carol Thompson is the only child of wealthy par ents, with their estate estimat ed from one-half to one mil lion dollars." Should she die, Thompson felt, it said, that her estate would go to their four children and "bypass him." Segell asked: "One reason why Thompson might want all this insurance on Carol is to provide a hedge against the by- Regional Edition Page 2A MedfordMTribune MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1963 passing of an estate wouldn't this be one reason for a large amount of insurance on a healthy young woman?" Trea nor said yes, it would. . Thompson is. charged with first degree murder in what the state contends was a three-man plot, masterminded by the hus band, to do away with Carol, 34, a chdir singer, ardent church worker, devoted house wife and mother. The state expects to show that Thompson had a girl friend , with whom he spent nights dancing, dining, and sharing motel rooms. Prosecutor Wil liam B. Randall told the jury he would show that Thompson promised her, shortly before his crash insurance - buying pro gram began, that within 11 months he would have enough money for both of them to live-' uu. Carol was slain in their SL Paul home last March 6.

Riverside 772-9081 (shell) Another service from the 13 Shell dealers of Medford 8 ways to reduce the strain of driving at night 1. Use the corners of your eyes to iden tify dimly lit shapes. Your eye doctor will tell you that at night your eyes see best not at the center of the retina but at the sides. So if you want to identify a dim object by the road (it may be a pedestrian about to cross), don't stare straight at it. Instead, try turning your head and look ing slightly to the right or left of the ob ject you wish to identify. You'll see more detail, recognize the shape more easily. And be better able to judge what action to take. 2. Avoid "headlight blindness." Look ing directly into oncoming headlights can "blind" you for a full second. That may not seem like very much, but at 50 miles per hour, it's actually the equivalent of driving 73 feci with your eyes closed. So always look niroy when bright head lights approach never directly into them. 3. If you're planning to drive at night, wear sunglasses during the day. Eyes normally adjust to darkness during the twilight period. But if you've been out in bright sunlight all day, they can take 7ogcr to adjust. Night falls. Your eyes aren't ready. You have to strain to sec. Wearing good sunglasses during bright daylight will help you reduce the time and strain of adjusting to night visibility. warning: Never wear sunglasses at night. They may lessen glare from on coming headlights, but they also make the darkness darker. . 4. Don't try to outsce your headlights. Always drive at a speed that will allow you to stop safely within the distance you can see clearly ahead. This means culling speed after dark. Rushing into darkness is no way to feci relaxed when driving. If your headlights don't seem to reach far enough ahead, they may not be aimed properly. Have your Shell dealer check. 5. Keep dashboard lights just bright enough to allow you to read the instru ments. 1 he dials and gauges on vour instrument panel can be distracting if lighted to full brightness. Keeping them dim will also help your eyes stay adapted to the dark. 6. Find out where your car's fuses are located. Your car has fuses that do the 9 i't This motorist is not driving through a blizzard. He is being plagued by windshield "sparkle." Cause: tiny dirt particles caught in the glare of oncoming headlights. Cure: a clean windshield. Remhider: Shell dealers are always happy to clean a windshield fur you. same job as the ones in your home. They control everything electrical in your car CAccwt your headlights. Get your Shell dealer to show you where they are and always carry spares. Being able to fix a blown fuse yourself could save quite a bit of irritation and anxiety. 7. Remember these 5 hints to ward off drowsiness at the wheel. Don't ent a heavy meal before starting a long, night drive. Keep a window oeii.The stream of fresh air will help you stay alert. Talk with your passengers. Lively con versation helps keep you wide awake. If you're traveling alone, listen to a radio show. (Don't listen too long to dreamy music it can have the effect of a lullaby. Switch to a newscast instead.) Move your eyes. Don't stare fixedly ahead. Let your eyes scan your whole field of vision. Shifting your eyes helps you avoid "highway hypnosis." Carry a thermos of coffee or tea on hug, night trips. Take a break now and then. . Fatigue slows reflexes, cuts ability to see in the dark. Shell dealers recommend a stretch, a cup of coffee and a five-minute rest for your eyes every hour or so. 8. Feci free to stop at any Shell station -even if you don't need gasoline. You're always welcome to come in, stretch your legs, and freshen up before continuing your journey. ' SHELL DEALERS DE-BUNK ANOTHER MOTORING MYTH I It's a myth that at dusk it is OK to use your parking lights instead of your headlights At dusk you can rarely sec or be seen easily. Headlights may not help much in illuminating the roadway, but thev arc a whole lot belter than parking lights at making your car more visible to other cars and pedestrians. Always use your low beam headlights at dusk, note: In many parts of the U.S., it is actually illegal to drive at dusk with just your parking lights on. That's the real lowdown. You can count on your Shell dealer for straight facts and honest work. Sec him rcgiiiiriy. SHELL On t S.
