FORTUNATE KEY WESTERS | Often, after dissappointment follows disappointment, | some of us think we are the most unfortunate people in| all the world. We forget that all of us have so many things in common that what happens to one of us, in any field | of endeavor, is likely to happen to another. | As to our physical wellbeing or lack of it, it is not! unusual for a stricken man to think that his condition is worse than anybody else’s. But there is an old and true saying that any man who laments his physical condition | always can find somebody else worse off than he. Prooi | may be educed in Key West to verify that statement, but let us pass on from the consideration of unfortune things | among persons, to which all of us have been or will be | subject, to the manifestation of Nature when she is in a violent mood: While the old year was dying and when the New Year came to life, The Citizen published stories that should make Key Westers thankful that a “hurricane season” here governs the coming of mighty blows, which are likely to strike some areas of the world during any month. We have this saying in Key West about hurri- canes: ir ia! “June—too soon; July—stand by; August—must; September—remember — October—over.” While that saying is not true, for we may have a hurricane in June or October, and often August is not a “must” month, yet the danger of a heavy blow in this area lasts only two or three months, but in some parts of the world they are likely to strike any time. For instance, The Citizen published stories about a hurricane, or its equivalent, lashing Western Europe, particularly Eng- land, for four days and attaining a velocity of 100 miles an hour. A 100-mile wind is heavy, and it is of no conse- quence whether or not we classify it as a hurricane. But during the last month of 1951, The Citizen ran stories of three genuine hurricanes that lashed the Philip- pines, causing the loss of many lives, as well as much de- struction. We are 1ortunate that on the Atlantic side of the United States, the hurricane season is limited, where- as in the Pacific winds of hurricane force blow at times from January to December. And the Pacific occasion- ally has a “dry” hurricane, a violent manifestatfon that does not occur on this side of the continent. Richard Henry Dana in his classic, sLwe. Years Be- fore the Mast,” graphically describés such “2 tblow.2 Not a cloud showed in the sky, not a drop of rain fell, while his ship, for three days, rolled and pitched and was driven from San Diego, California, to the Hawaiian Islands, or the-Sandwich Islands, as they were called in his day. | So, when things are not going as we would like them to-go, regarding ourselves or our town, we will learn, if we are observant, that we are not as unfortunate as we think Wwe are, | | SLICE OF HAM “AND FURTHERMORE, SOLDIER!

It is ine time, too, to philosophize about the year that has slipped by so quickly, to cher- ish the pleasant, good things that have happened to you, to gripe about the bad ones. It is the time also to wonder about the state of world and what you ave doing to to make it better or worse.
