Worries of Mr. and Mrs. Wily
Knighten were relieved Monday
when they received a short note
from their son, Wily Knighten,
Jr., who is a flight inspector for
the Federal Aviation Agency
with headquarters at Anchorage.
"Boy! Talk about a breakup. On
my way to find a new house,
All O. K. otherwise." The son,

only be made through the Red

a laboratory technician in the

Happy news came to Mr. and
Mrs. Everett Harshman from
their son and daughter-in-law,
Mr and Mrs. Gay Harshman,
and three sons at Ketchikan.
There was a 30-mile stretch a
30-mile stretch that did not bear
the brunt of the tidal wave that
struck in the area, and their
home was in this stretch and
therefore was unscathed. Only a
2-foot wave hit there. Had the
main force of the wave struck
the area, however, their home
would have been wiped out be
cause it is close to the water's
edge. Gay works for Civil Ser
vice at Ketchikan.
Capt. and Mrs. John L. Bristow,
son and daughter-in-law of Mr.
and Mrs. Ed Bristow, lone, felt
the shocks at Fairbanks but suf
fered little damage. The quakes
rocked their living quarters on
the base, and cracked some
walls, but otherwise no harm
was done. Capt. and Mrs. Bris
tow have two children, a boy
and a girl. He is stationed at
Eielson Air Force base.
Lucy Wright of lleppner was
another grateful person when
she learned that her son and
daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs.
Russell Wright, and family are
safe at Kodiak. She received
word from them Tuesday that
they are fine and suffered no
property damage in the city hard
hit by tidal wave. The Wrights
moved to a new home two miles
distant from their former loca

was hit was not determined. The
Russell Wright's married son and
family were also unhurt. Wright

Foreign Travel
Requires Health
Immunizations
Anyone planning to vacation
or travel in foreign countries
this year should see his physic
ian or local health department
to determine which immuniza
tions he will need, the State
Board of Health urged today.
Every foreign traveler will
need an International Certiifi
cate of Immunization. The im
munizations required depend on
the countries to be visited. A
complete list of these is in the
booklet "Immunization Informa
tion for International Travel,"
available at your local health
department or the State Board
of Health in the Portland State
Office Building.
"Everyone should be immu
nized for polio, smallpox, diph
theria and tetanus, regardless
of travel or vacation plans. Truse
serious communicable diseases
can strike at home as readily as
on foreign soil," said R. H. Wil
cox, M. D., Oregon's State Health
Officer.
Passport immunization must
be authenticated and carry the
official county vaccination stamp
before one will be accepted for
foreign travel. This stamp can be
obtained at the Morrow County
Health Department or informa
tion obtained from Dr. L. D. Tib
bies, health officer.
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Warren.
Mike, Steve, Matt and Joan went
on a three day trip, that took
them last week to Winchester
Bay where they visited with Mr.
Warren's parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Wallace Eldredge. The Warrens
