Speaker Recalls Day Of Alaskan Quake To Soroptimist Club Life in Valdez, Alaska, on the day of the historic earthquake was vividly recalled by Mrs. Ray mond (Jeanette) Huddles ton when she spoke to the Heppner Soroptimist club at their lunch eon meeting last Thursday. She and her daughter, Sally, have been making their home here with her father, Frank Turner, since leaving their home in Valdez the week following the earthquake. Mrs. Huddleston, introduced by Mrs. Jim Thomson, program chairman, had great praise for the people in Alaska after the disaster, stating that there was little hysteria, and the general comment was, "What can I do to help others, rather that what do I need for myself." She point ed out a geographical survey showing that the quake register ed twice as hard in intensity as the San Francisco quake in 1906 ranging from 8.4 to 8.6. Re ports have placed the dead or missing at 114, with property losses totaling around three quarter billion dollars. Mrs. Huddleston and her fam ily were preparing their evening meal when they heard the rumbling about 5:36 on Good Friday, she said. They felt cer tain it was an earthquake, went to the nearest doorway and braced themselves "for an etern ity" (actually between three and five minutes.) They saw their front cement steps pull back and forth away from their house sev eral times, and except for art icles breaking about the house, their property was damaged very little. Their house was later used as a neighborhood "hotel." Most damage and loss of life in Val dez came with the huge tidal wave, she said. Her husband, an engineer, has continued his work there and has had an important part in evacuation and reorgan ization. Future of the town is not definite as major rebuilding is not planned for two years, and after that time, the town may be moved further inland. Mrs. Huddleston and Sally ex pect to return "home" as soon as school is out here. Other guests present to hear the speak er were Mrs. Harold Herburger of John Day, Mrs. Mary Anne Berg of Dayville and Miss Esther Kirmis, county extension agent. Some discussion was held on plans for the Senior Girls' Tea Sunday afternoon, May 24, at the home of Mrs. Jim Hager, presi dent. Also invited are mothers of the girls, high school women teachers and wives of the men teachers. PLACE SETTINGS fif' 4-M. " l. Young ffl ,S . k.Fklr Iff tyJT Hk SITTINO Una Iff "i<fr (Kl, fft, .
