(Editor's Note: Bob Morris, son of Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Morris, At laBtie, was la Mexico during the recent earthquake. Uc writes, in thr following article, of the evening prior to the quake and his ex perience during Hi. On Saturday, July 27, 1957, the Casa de los Amigos in Chimalpa was buzzing with work for the fiesta wc were giving the village that night. In the afternoon our truek went into Mexico City to carry Buck Rogers, a graduate student in chemistry at the Uni versity of North Carolina, who was sick. A few people in our group (mem bers of a work project devoted to the protection of peace through in ternational understanding) went along as far as Cuajimalpa, a sort of county seat to Chimalpa even though the former is in the Federal District and the latter in the State of Mexico. There is a public bath there, where wc go twice a week for showers. We were in a hurry to get away on this particular afternoon be cause there were clouds building up over the mountains to the north. The rainy season in Mexico lasts from April to September and dur ing that time anyone planning to leave Chimalpa for the world out side must do so before the rains cone in the afternoon; the timing! has to be trigger-quick after it be gins sprinkling or there is no get-1 ting through. On Saturday, July 27, we made it in the nick of time over the | torturous little mountain road by travelling at a somewhat less than | safe speed. It had begun to drizzle j just as we left Chimalpa. I was in the group going to the public baths. In Cuajimalpa we separated from the three people going into Mexico: Thelma Bab-1 bitt, our director, who went to i take Buck Rogers to the doctor 8-Year-Old Runs Into Pick-Up William R. Wiseman Jr., 8-year old son of Major and Mrs. Wise man, 100 Rucher Circle, fori Bragg, was knocked unconscious for several moments at 7:25 p.m. Monday when he ran into a mov ing pick-up truck in front of Moore's Motor Court, Atlantic Beach. Driving the truck, according to j State Highway Patrolman R. II. Brown, was Mrs. Elnora F. Joy ner, 104 Church St., Karmvillc. Mrs. Joyner was headed toward Morehead City at about 10 miles an hour, the patrolman said, when the boy ran out from the motor court and into the aide of the pick-up. He was taken to the Morehead City Hospital in the Dill ambu lance, given first aid treatment and discharged. There was no damage to the truck and no charges were filed against the driver. Patrolman Brown said the acci-1 dent was unavoidable, lie added | that the boy was apparently run ning across the hcach road (o join I two brothers who were at Sonny's | Yacht basin. Marines Slightly Hurt in Wreck Two Cherry Point Marines were slightly injured Wednesday night when the c?r Uicy were driving turned over several times on High way 24 five miles west of the High way 24 and 70 intersection. Their names were not available at press time. T/Sgt. Paul D. Bray, head of the Marine military police detachment, Morehead City, said that the men were headed east and lost control of the car on the long curve near the former dog raring kennels The car caromed from one side of the road to the other before finally flipping over several times. Sergeant Bray said it was a total wreck. Patrolman R. II. Brown eheekrd the accident for the State High way Patrol. The Marines, from lejeune, were taken by Navy ambulance to the bmpital at Cherry Point.

Bath Felt Great After a week's work of digging a ditch and a culvert, the hath was refreshing as only a rare bath can be. We were going to get dirty walking back to Cuajimalpa. but that fact didn't seem at all im portant. For a short time we were clean and nothing could intrude on the comfort of this thought. There was no suggestion of any menace in the mountains we saw on our walk back to Chimalpa that afternoon. We were headed straight for our village which, in the sunlight after the rain had passed, seemed to glisten like a brown jewel in a green nest of mountains. Over on our right a mountain dreamed away in the afternoon under a mantle of maiz fields just getting up; rows of older maguey plants (it takes twenty-five years for them to mature) bordered the Indian corn fields. Like threads of little blue as terisks on the brown page of the hill-side, the maguey shone in the sunlight among the yellow maiz and the green woods down in the valley. There was nothing menac ing in the afternoon; walking in the heavy, late-afternoon sun. one felt only a sense of benevolence and favor in the landscape. When we got home to the Casa, supper was waiting. Don Luis, the Sub Delgado in Chimalpa, had ex pressed some concern over our choice of Saturday night for a fiesta because lots of men who live in the hills around Chimalpa and work in Mexico City during the week pass through here on their way home Saturday after noons and linger in the local can tinas getting drunk, so we speeded up our schedule in order to begin promptly at 7:30 and have every one out of the patio by 10:30. We finished with supper quickly and began to decorate tlie Com mon Room for our guests.* After 7. people began to arrive rwttoer steadily. Women in wea I tiered rebozos a?d dresses, often as not barefooted, men in their weekday clothes, x rapes and som breros, soon filled up the room we had prepared for them. Social conscience in Chimalpa demands that men and women never be seen together in public, so on one side of the room sat the Senoras and Senoritas, on the other, the Scnorcs. We had had to make a rule about the children who otherwise flooded the place. Ninos who showed up were ad mitted only with their parents. At 7:30 wc handed out balloons to the children. Wc had planned to hang these up from the ceiling but, once blown up, balloons are inseparable from Mexican children. With homemade cards we played "Bingo"' under the title "Amigo." "Amigo" made a great hit with our friends. The business of a prize for the winners posed a ticklish problem since, for obvious reasons, wc could not hand out largesse. Wc dealt with this matter by having Darryl McKnight, an art student from Bakersfield, Calif., draw a pencil portrait of each of the vic tors. By now, the small room was crowded to capacity and anyone curious as to the success of our party would have found an easy answer in the facial expressions of our guests. The Irish sweep stakes could hardly offered a more exciting promise than our game. In the congested atmosphere of the room an American new to this See EARTHQUAKE, Page 2 Officers Hijack Cargo of Booze Officer Otis Willis. Beaufort po licrman, and ABC Officer Marahall Ayscue interrupted a delivery of 39 gallon* of moonshine at 3:30 Tues day morning in Beaufort. Officer Ayacuc is holding the car, a 1942 Hudson, in which the whis ky was found. The car was headed into Beaufort on I,ivc Oak Street and when the police car was spotted, the driver drove into Tom's Service Station and "aban doned ship". Officer Ayacuc, however, has a pretty good idea who was driving. In the car was found a tow bag with three gallons of booze, and six cases, each holding six gallons.
