A. Hodgson, chief selsmologist at the Dominion Ob- servatory here The epicentre was tentatively lo- cated -at latitude 49 degrees, nine minutes north, longtitude 125 de- grees, three minutes west, or a point about 10 miles south south- west of Campbell River, midway up the east coast of Vancouver Islan Actually, however, the epicentr was not a point but rather, "a line extending along the eastern edge of Vancouver Island from Deep Bay, | opposite the south end of Denman Island, to Campbell River, and parts of Quadra Island and Read Island are also affected." Damage and phenomena result- ing from the quake, as mentioned 1, Deaths: One -- Capt, Daniel Fiddler, drowned off Maple Guard Spit when his dinghy was overturn- ed. In addition, a Seattle, Wash. man was reported to have died of a heart attack due to the shock, and a Kilonan Packing Plant employ- ee, thrown from a wharf by the tre- mor, received a broken shoulder, 2. Property damage: Broken chim- neys, damaged goods in stores, ial | broken crockery and glassware, windows, etc., in various parts of the epicentral district. 3. Marked changes in land were reported "particularly at Maple Guard Spit which flanks Deep Bay, at Goose Spit and Drew Harbor on the east side of Quadra Island and near Burdwood Bay on the east coast of the southern promontory of Read Island.. "Cracks many feet in depth and up to 18 inches in width opened up for lengths up to several hundred feet on the sahd spits. An area of flat land, 15 to 20 acres in extent was down-dropped in level cultivat- ed fields on Read Island. Some of the faces of the drops were as much as 20 to 30 feet deep." , 4. Water spouts, some reaching a height of 30 feet, were seen in many places from Deep Bay along the coast to north of Campbell River. Tsese left holes in the sand as large as five feet in 'diameter and 12 feet deep. 5.Coastal waters in many places were found to have increased in depth by measured amounts up to 100 feet. In some cases whole beaches disappeared, Apparently all the depth changes were increases. 6. Numerous landslides occurred on most of the lakes on Vancouver Island and even in the Fraser Val- ley, 40 miles east of Vancouver, 7. Local waves of some violence were reported, but general "tidal waves" did not result. 8. Damage was general on the Is- land, and the tremors were felt as far south as Portland, Ore., and as far east as Kelowna in the Okana- gan Valley. 9. In general experience, the quake was preceded by a "heavy, subterranean roar." At several places, however "competent observ ers" said there was absolutely no sound until the heavy shock oc- curred at 10:13:19 a.m,, P.D.T. 10. Except for a few light tre- mors, no aftershocks have so far been recorded. - 11, The tremors continued for about 30 seconds. The report recommended that steps be taken to improve selsmo- graph equipment on the west coast, both at the present station--the ob- servatory at Victoria--and by es- tablishment of a new station at Powell River, Swedes Aided In Nazi Defeat Stockholm Editor Says Countrymen Did Much to Help Defeat Germans Regina--(CP)--Sweden did many things "for the Allies, which could not be published during the war, Dr, K. G, Bolander, a senior editor of the Stockholm newspaper Sven- ska Dagbladet, sald in an interview! here during a Canadian tour, Dr. Bolander said the alertness of Swedish sailors led directly to the bombing of Peenemunde where the destructive V2's were being de- veloped, The bombing has been credited with delaying the V2 at- tacks by several months and short- ening the war, Swedish sallors had noticed that vast amounts of concrete were be- ing taken to Peenemunde and re- ported these and other activities to the British, The Swedish people were inter- ested in Canada but had no inkling of the vast industrial strides taken by the Dominion during and since the war.

HILL - CORNISH ELECTRIC PHONE 3417 'Great Arturo' Runs Afouyl Of Niagara Falls Officials Niagara Falls, N.Y., Nov, 28--- (CP)--Plans of the "Great Artu- ro" to cross Niagara Falls on a tight wire met a snag yesterday. Niagara frontier commission officials sald the Commizsion op- poses "any stunts with the Falls as a background." "The Great Arturo" -- Arthur Trosti--announced Thursday in Tampa, Fla.,, he would leave for Niagara Falls to train for a tight- wire attempt next spring. Trostl, Vienna-born, said he crossed the Danube Riv.r on a tight wire when 16 y2ars old. Commission officials sald no application from Trost! has been received, and added that "if he put his wire on somebody else's property, such as below the Rain- bow Bridge, we wouldn't have any control over him." An attempt below the Rainbow Bridge would be a crossin_ of the Niagara River Gorge rather than the Falls, All seven previous suc- cessful crossings by tightrope have been across the Gorge. The first was made in 1859 by Blondin, who carried a man on his back and pushed a loaded wheelbarrow. He repeated the performance three times the fol- lowing year. Balleni crossed In 1873 and was followed Ihren gifte: years later by Maria Spelterina, who wore baskets on her feet, In 1887, Steve Perre crossed on a three-quarter inch cable, Three days later his body was found in the Gorge and it was believed he had tried to duplicate his feat during the night and hac plunged to his death on the rocks below, STATION AGENTS HONORED Stouffville, Nov. 29,e-- A unique event took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs Angus Mowat, Stouffville, when four railway station agents, who recently retired from service were tendered a banquet by em- ployees of the Uxbridge and Cobo- conk subdivis! of the Canadian National Railways.
