Parents Announce
Engagement of
Miss Kucherry
Mr. and Mrs. James Kucherry
of Palmer announce the engage
ment of their daughter, Mary, to
Ted Lowe, formerly of Anchor
age .who now makes his home at
Fairbanks.
The bride-to-be came to Palmer
with her parents in July, 1949.
The family is formerly of Bon
ners Ferry, Idaho. She is now
employed at the Trading Post.

FIRST EQUIPMENT—
(Continued from Page I)
a mere cap to several pounds are
placed several feet underground,
with from three to six seismo
graphs—called geophones in this
work—located on top the ground
a short distance away.
The process is roughly similar
to finding sea bottom with a fath
ometer. The blast sends waves
through the earth, which are
picked up by the phones. They
are then photographed by a movie
camera, enabling Wantland to de
termine types of strata by study
of wave velocity.
This same type of “earthquake”
is used to find bedrock in mining
and in drilling for oil. Loose soil
sends back waves around 2,000
per minute, while dense rock
bounces them back at 15,000 per.
The man-made quakes lessen
the number of sample drill holes
necessary, thus reducing expense
considerably, Wantland said. A
hole may cost $2,000, but an
“earthquake” only $100 or less.
A few drill holes, nevertheless,
will be necessary to supplement
findings, he said.
