The epicentre was located by seismologists under the North Sea, 250 miles northeast of London. The shocks were felt in Belgium. England, France, Germany, The Netherlands.

Last week, while towns along the oldtime route were restoring some of the legendary landmarks, cinema's hardest-riding Western star, resolute, weather-beaten Buck Jones, was blazing the trail again for the younger generation. Pledged to abstain from profanity and hard liquor, Buck and his heck-for-leather pony riders yippee forth on their foam-flecked ponies, carry the mail on schedule though redskins and mustachioed villains do their...
