em TEST) a Pee i i i ee fh ace ergQom> cae st “TASTING FEAR” A “classic” in description came from deep in the Everglades, west of Fort Lau- derdale, on Wednesday, when the centét™ of the hurricane was passing over that area. qgcareavEm rue “I am now tasting fear,” said a voice sew es OF an pawn diniatcbe cred over a radio transmitter. “I am deep in ; pattiched here rae the Everglades: Everything is still; the acres silence is oppressive. I just saw a rabbit stick his head out of his burrow, then move a few feet from it and then return to it. Even his hopping seemed to cry out in the silence. The pressure was so intense I had’to labor to breathe. Every 10 seconds or so I wet my lips with my tongue to accelerate my breathing, and every time I wet them I tasted fear.” He then spoke of the destruction hur- rieane winds had caused duting their first onset, and then added: “I know they are coming back when the center passes over, but there is not a sign of their coming. Not a leaf flickers; all is silence and stillness. “I had thought that the worst thing about a hurricane was waiting for it to come. But I know now that far worse than that is waiting for it to return. One would think that silence and sti!iness would ease the feelings, but not this kind of silence and stillness. You know it to, be a respite that will be broken by a terrible force of nature, roaring and lash- ing, as though bent on destroying every- Mere Hetets ond Apartments. thing in its path. But when will it return? “I wet my lips again, and again I taste fear. I feel like crying out for the hurri- cane to resume its lashing and roaring. I know what its destructive force is, but I prefer it to this convulsive silence and still- hess. Ah, it’s coming, it’s coming!

On our desk is the issue of this Island newspaper, published 25 miles off the mainland of Massachusetts. It “circulates around the World.” Editor Harry B. Turner relates in his issue of August 30, how he beat the paper shortage on that date. Thus “history repeats” its victories in Nantucket. Here is the story: “The paper shortage hit us doubly hard this week and for a couple of days we were not sure that we could get enough paper to print on.” He added: “With 5,000 pounds bound this way from the Canadian mills, there was nothing definite as to when it would arrive and for a time the prospect looked black.

So if you happen to get hold of a copy of The Inquirer and Mirror this week that is unusually heavy grade and with a fine book finish, just put it down as the result of the paper shortage and the cooperation and helpfulness of T. & H. The cost of the stock? Well, after we caught our breath we decided to put it down to “Profit and Loss”"—a decided loss, ‘but in spite of it The Inquirer and Mirror came out this week.” © @eemed t fellure, a» was the unwork- plan.

I have my doubts about it. {When a man can get ‘booze every | few yards he goes, how can wg expect anything else? No man is altogether respon- |sible for his action when he gets a few drinks, while. we know |drinking does not. excuse his jwrong doings. Cocktails and high- balls make a fellow want to do stunts, and in spite of himself, do them,. to his own} jhurt and sometimes to’ the hurt lof many others. We all know stiff fines do not read every day of the heavy fines |imposed on drunken drivers, and yet every day there’s a line of country. When booze goes into a man, {wit and sense go out. Booze will |make the most sensible man a fool, and the best looking man in ‘town ugly. Some say men are go- ing to get it as long as the world will have to put up with broken jmeters and a lot of other things |far worse. WONDERING. ley West, Fla., Sept. 20, 1947.
