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.

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-

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.

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

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.
