Norman E. Wirsching, 130 Roxborough avenue, Thursday received a letter from Lydia Wirsching who had been living at Palmer, 30 miles from An- chorage, for more than a year. She told her brother that the monster quake which devasted Anchorage only caused slight earth tremors in nearby Pal- mer. Communications systems were in such turmoil that Miss Wirsching was not allowed to send a telegram unless her message was "extremely ur- gent." Her letter was accom- panied by a special Sunday edition of the Anchorage Daily Times. Pictures told the story in the newspaper. Aerial photos showed jagged gashes infected with debris that had once been houses, One dramatic shot de- picted people scurrying, panic- stricken, from a building as it crashed to the ground. Mr. Wirsching said his sister, a nurse, had planned to come to Oshawa Apr. 28. 'ler services will now be needed in Anchor- age, thus delaying her trip.
