ie ao ao Vw Yr oo ‘What do you wish to know } about the Everglades? Mention anything—the for. on of ‘that area, its oolitic /foundation, its flora, its fayna, the Indians who lived there’ be- fore the Seminoles. All of that information “and a great deal more may be obtained by read- ing Marjory Stoneman Douglas’ beok, The Everglades, River of Grass. "Fifty years ago, when I was a@ boy, 1 spent eight days at Cape Sable, which is included in the Everglades National Park. The object of the trip, with four other Key Westers, was to turn green turtle at night; as they crawled up on the beach. to layeggs. I was too young then to realize that I | was engaged in a “sport” that, _ under various characterizations, eventually would exterminate | turtle in this. area._ The period of extermination ig near at hand. It is unusual | ripped dreadfully through the now to find green turtle, in the entire course of, their egg-lay- ing season; crawling up ‘Cape Sable or any other beach in this area, Turtle brought to this market today come <from. the far dway Mosquito Islands off ' the Nicaraguan coast. Florida delayed too passing a long in law prohibiting the turning of turtle on its beach-! es. It was. almost too late also to save the white heron and other birds that make their home in the Everglades. One of the blessings of the Everglades National Park will be the preser- vation of wild life in. that area in protecting it from the ruthless on-slaught of man. As Mrs. Douglas stresses in her book, there is. only one Ever- glades in the entire world, and ft is the one plaee in the world that is most conducive to sever- al forms of wild life. Key West is mentioned sever- al times in Mrs. Douglas’ book, and probably Key Westers will find some things in it of which they had not been aware. Here is a story that will be of par- ticular interest to Key West- ters: “There were no settlers on the Lewis grant by the New River ‘where the Indians came, io amp, until.a man named Colee, e] # Head of Elks Raps.
