Bullets can travel a distance, hit a person, go through the win- dow of a building or injure an animal but not kill it, only cripple it. “Spotlighting is illegal after 11 p.m., and cannot be done at all during deer season. Spotlights should never be shone on a build- ing whether it be a garage or a house. If this is done, the owner should call the Game Commission immediately. It is also illegal and unsafe to stop on a public highway at any time unless it is for an emergency,” Wasserman said. The wildlife habitat owned by the Smith's is now watched more closely than in the past and the spotlighters can be seen from the house and will be checked closely in the future by the owners, their employees and the Game Commis- sion agents. | Flora Schwartz Diet Center Counselor Free Personal Evaluation!

Although Steve was close to them, he could not get calls through to Oakland and it was not until his family in Dal- las heard that Frank and his family were safe that Steve was able to get the news. Neither Frank nor Steve have electricity but Steve has a gas stove so he is able to heat hot water or prepare food. Jim Miller, son of Mrs. Harriet Miller and the late Arthur Miller of Dallas, has lived in the Oakland area of California for several years. He has several trucks and a car he uses in his business. He got through to his mother early Wednesday, as soon as he could get a call through because he knew she would be in panic. “I'm all right,” he said. “Nor- mally I would have been at the game but I had a class Tuesday night so I was at home. When the quake struck those 15 seconds seemed like minutes. The house shook and the trucks in the drive bounced around like balls. Dishes and things in the cupboard were knocked out of place but other- wise, I'm okay,” Miller said. Lisa McCartney Murphy and her husband, Michael, live in the Pre- sidio area. They went fo the game Tuesday night and were going up. in the escalator when the earth- quake struck. The escalator made an ‘S' turn and that was it. They left the game and went to their car to go home, usually a 15 minute trip. "I was driving and it felt like the front tire blew out.” Kim Bonawitz Now living near Oakland, CA It took them two and a half hours to get home and when they arrived, they had no water, no heat, no electricity. They have moved out of their building and are stay- ing at the Stanford Court Hotel where Michael is a manager. Lisa got through to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. H.R. McCartney, about 12:30 a.m. Tuesday night. She told them the area where they lived looks all right but the build- ing had some cracks in itand some damage so they felt better staying in the hotel. Donna Trebilcox, member of Dallas High School faculty, has a brother, Ted McMechen, who lives in San Francisco and it was not until Friday that she learned he was safe, although she had not yet talked with him. When the days went by and she didn't hear anything, she called his place of business and talked to his manager. The manager told her that Ted was alright but he had no electricity and that was why Donna was unable to contact him. There was sore damage to the shop but most of the damage was to things inside the building. : : Tina Wall, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Wall of Harveys Lake, used to live in California near Liver- more, Oakland, and said they have a lot of relatives out there. “They were shook up and had some things broken but no serious damage,” -— 7%, Tina said. “I have a friend Mark out ~ there and he called and said he was driving on the highway and had to pull off when the road began to heave like a roller coaster. He said last Thursday night they were still pulling people out from under the bridge. Kim Bonawitz Turner and her son Adam have been living in Liver- more outside of Oakland for the past three years. She called her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Felix Bonawitz as soon as she could get through to tell them they were all right. ; “I was driving and it felt like the front tire blew out and I was unable to control the car. There's no dam- > age to the house, only some dishes and spices displaced,” Kim said. Mrs. Bonawitz said that just Tuesday morning Adam had an earthquake drill in school. Califor- nia residents have earthquake drills out like the schools here have fire drills, according to Mrs. Bonawitz.
