Up to last Saturday, some fishing boats did not go out once in two weeks, while other fishermen went out two or three days and had to return to port because of wind and high seas, For many years Mark Twain was credited with hav- ‘ing said, “We always complain about the weather but none of us do anything about it.” Later it was asserted that somebody else had made that remark but whoever said it told the truth, for the simple reason that weather is one of the elements. man can’t control. It would be pleasing indeed if we didn’t have hurri- eanes, and we know several persons who would be de- lighted if we never had a thunderstorm. As for the torna- @o, which, let us be thankful, we have never had in this area, the people in those parts of the nation that are sub- jected to those terrific winds, estimated to range up to 700 miles an hour, would gladly exchange them for our occasional hurricanes or even for an earthquake, which we have never had, provided it would not be too severe, As for shrimp in the general vicinity of Dry Tortu- gas, they are nearer té Key West than to any other port in Florida, and, regardless of the weather or anything else, shrimpers will continue to go out from Key West, This has been a hard-luck season for winds in this area, Out-of-town shrimpers may fee] assured that the al- most constant blowing from 18 to 80 miles an hour has been most unusual as a rule. We have had other winter seasons when winds recurrently were too high for shrimp- ing, but we have had seasons also when we would have rejoiced had fresh breezes been more frequent, As for weather last winter from the viewpoint of temperature, Key West, as usual, had higher temperatures than any other part of the country when cold spells came down from Canada and extended to the South. Many Key West- ers said the weather was “fine”, except that it was blow- ing a little too hard. But comparatively calm days will come again In this | area, and shrimpers will be delighted, instead of being | down in the heels because of the wind, Fleet Sonar School Gives 206 i i HE ii 83a By HOWARD W, BLAKESLER Associated Press Science Editor §. i ? e : i f bs ff ? 4 F 2 el: i 3] u if Ki i i i iz Hi Ht eft Hef i : Hitba! itil it Hell tekst 7 é : g 4 g H ze FE i giF Ee f i i 3 i i FF E?

But fighting has gone on for 22 months n Korea without the employment f these devastating bombs by either side, Hope is: growing that they never may be used again in anger, . Another reason for the more sensible approach to the problem of the atom bomb is the fact that the population has become ad- justed to an atmosphere of pro- longed crisis, You can’t remain tense forever. People who live on the edge of a precipice gradually Bet ‘accustomed to it. Potential danger is always frightening at first. But after a time it merely becomes an annoying bore, Children no longer have night- mares over whether an atom bomb will fall, They have been taught in school what to do, and it's just another kind of fire drill to them. But they are better prepared for such a disaster than their parents. Most grownups still haven’t taken the trouble to leafn what precau- tions to follow. They are simply tired of the whole subject. Getting kuiled by an atom bomb is more and more accepted as a possibility in the same category as being hit by lightning or getting kicked to death by a horse. It might happen, but meanwhile a man has to get up and go to work every day—and take his chances. Atom bombs are getting stronger and more numerous as the scien- | tists go on quietly exploring the mathematics of extinction. But the average man today has worn out his worry. He figures he will prob- ably go on living and that, no matter what happens, the earth | will go on spinning through space | as it always has, meeting a fresh | dawn every day.
