SCHOOL NOTES
Marion Wills— Reporter
Earthquake Shocks School
Mairian Wills.
On Friday in the afternoon
Mrs. Harrais gives us lessons
ai)out the earth. We have had
about four lessons and find them
very interesting,
We have learned all about the
sun and moon. Also about Stand*
a i d Time. You have to change
your watch four different times
in U. S. There are Eastern Time.
Centrrl Tune, Mountain Time,
and Pacific Time.
What we like best of all is
about the planets. If we could 1
think we would talk about them
ail day. We asu questions that
would make a scientist run. We
like Mrs. Harrais to tell us about
Mu rs.
We know what monsoons are
i
and typhoons. The day after the
ea rthquake we w ere quite thrilled
and wanted to know all about
th« m. Mrs. Harrais told us about
the great tidal waves that start
out in the ocean. Out where the
water is very deep, the earth
quake makes the water v«-»ry
stormy. Then these waves rise
high ane sweep towards the land.
They cause many deaths and are
very destructive.
After this lesson I expected
a tidal wave to come sweeping
over the mountains in a great wall
of water. Theodore wanted anot.
her earthquake to come along but
some of the rest of us didn't.
We all thought that if we
went outside during the earth
quake we could see it. We ex pec j
ted to see the ground cominu 111>
in humps to meet our heads. We I
learned a fterwa rds to onrgient
disappointment. that you rm’t
even see them.
We liave been looking all over
McCarthy for eracks caused by!
it. But so fat \\ e haven’t found j
one. i
ALASKA DEEK ALONG
COAST \HE STA h‘V! XG
The deep snow along the
coast lineof Southeastern Alaska
is taking its toll among the
thousands of deer making their
home alone the coast and on the!
! islands of fhe section. For the!
•
j past month the snow has been
I fallii g and at present it i< imposs
I bit* for these noble game animals
to obtain sufficient food to keep |
| alive until a warm Chinook will
hit the hills and again melt bare
their natural feeding grounds.
The sportsmen and business j
men of Petersbusg and vicinity i
j have cone to tlmir rescue and
j have been placing feed alone the
• beach, hoping that each day would !
I see a warm rain, but still the snow
persisted and the deer were get;
tine in ;> most precarious condi j
tion. They came right down on*
tlie beach and tried to sustain life
with bits of sea weed, scraps, any
thing that would stay the gnaw of
hunger in their weakened bodies.
Now son om* know how many deer
will have to be fed, for there are
literally tens of thousandsof them,
