They waited half an hour 'b'efore he got back. The. road's were !just packed with cars 'going out to ;Lonig Beach to see alb'qut friend's'. We 'had several shocks .that night, but got used to them, Every day we ',would get a slhake or two 'for sev- eral days, but as the first is the one that does the damage, You pay !little attention' to the minor one's: iII1 the people had stayed inside there would have Been very few kill- ed. 009 is the toll for all the .towns, asid 'nearly all were killed by walls .falling on them. IThe houses and . buildings. were flimsily pout up, especially the brick ones.

Mrs. Hendry was in great dis- tress. She had broken her spec- tacles and the prescription was at the optician's in the city. "That means I can't go to the social tomorrow night," she said.
