‘Quake Damaged
B. CL Village
PRINCE RUPERT, B. C. <#»)—
The British Columbia west coast
suffered more damage than was at
first realized in the earthquake
off the Queen Charlotte Islands
Aug. 21.
Belated reports from isolated
Cumshewa Inlet in the Charlottes
said the Aero Logging company
totaled up damage estimated in the
thousands of dollars.
The main tremor Sunday night
dislodged two crude oil tanks con
taining 14,000 gallons of fuel. One
carried away part of the company
wharf in its fall, another crushed
75 feet of trestle when it struck
the end of a logging railway.
Company officials said the resi
dents, who endured a week of di
minishing shocks after the major
tremor, were still “in a state of
alarm.”
Mrs. M. Ofeldt, who was em
ployed at the Guest House at
Marks Air Force Base for two
years, writes from Trondheim,
Norway that it is good to be home
-again at the place where she was
born. Mr. and Mrs. Ofeldt are on
an extended vacation in Norway
visiting and have not planned just
when they will return to the U. S.
A.
Richard and Allen Lee of the
Lee Dredging Co., were in town
for a few days from their mine at
Solomon for medical treatment.
! Black Bear Plays
1 Havoc In Cordova
CORDOVA, (/P>—It’s no mere
bear story to Cordova’s women,
dogs and irate food owners.
They want something done
about the two-year-old black bear
which has been choosing its vic
tims with epicurean thoroughness.
It all started a couple of nights
ago when Dick Davis, Cordova
groceryman, received an unsolici
ted call from the bruin. The bear
raided an outside cooler and made
off with a quarter-slab of bacon
and an assortment of other edibles.
With a full tummy w'hich put
him in a playful mood, the bear
! next romped down to the homes of
the most nervous housewives on
railroad row, garrumphed a bellig
erent garrumph, then scampered
off.
The town’s dogs have been
sicced on the bear, but all turned
tail and sought pastures bare of
bear, in moods touching on ner
vous collapse.
Old-timers identify the intruder
i as “more or less harmless.”
But the women and the dogs and
j the food store men don’t think so.

Mr. and Mrs. Dwight Robinson.
I Jr., have been visiting their home
in Boston, Mass., where Mr. Rob
inson is on of the board of directors
of the U. S. Smelting Co.
Do what’s right; do your best;
1 Worry less about the rest.
