Title: Worshippers observe Easter at earthquake scene.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-30807 WORSHIPPERS OBSERVE EASTER AT EARTHQUAKE SCENE ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Some churches were severely damaged and many others were darkened and left without heat as an earthquake of tremendous proportion rocked Alaska. Easter worshippers gathered, not only in churches but also in garages and warehouses before returning to the huge task of digging out from under the quake’s rubble. Despite the tragedy, Easter services, as at Elmendorf Air Force Base chapel (top), where many work parkas and other heavy clothing, were well attended. In Anchorage (bottom), the quake left part of Fourth Avenue, the main thoroughfare, and a row of cars about 20 feet below the level of the rest of the street.

Title: Alaskan elder.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: ALASKAN ELDER #S-3575 ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- One of the most interesting delegates to the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. here was Elder Roy Ahmaogak (above) of the Ootkeavich Presbyterian church of Barrow, Alaska, most northerly community on the North American continent. His trip here was the first time in his life he had journeyed below the Arctic Circle. The 48-year-old native of Alaska has acted as an interpreter among the Eskimos since his youth. He has been an elder for 15 years, and was licensed to teach the Gospel two years ago. He will go Oklahoma to work on a translation of the New Testament into Arctic Eskimo dialect. He then will attend Bloomfield Theological Seminary, N.J., to prepare for ordination to the Presbyterian ministry. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (CHAMP-FAIR-MES-5C-6-W-M)
