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.
