Saturday, February 28, 1925. Earthquake in Quebec.

A  6.2 struck Quebec with an epicenter in the St. Lawrence River near La Malbaie.  It caused damage in the areas of Charlevoix and Kamouraska, but no major casualties.


The Central Executive Committee and Council of People's Commissars of the Crimean Autonomous Socialist Soviet Republic voted to prohibit Jewish resettlement in Crimea, which the USSR would ignore.

The Saturday magazines were out.

The Country Gentleman had a scene that would have been familiar to much of the globe's population living in colder regions, but which is largely unfamiliar to most now, lighting a wood burning stove.  I have a short description of this in my currently unfinished novel.
