w. M. Winner, Monterey, Va,
The early days of the week were
lust about as hot as it gets IN
Highland, the mercury. during the
early afternoon, getting close to
80. The nights, however, are de-
lightful and one can sleep, world
without end! No humidity, no
mosquitoes, no BURGERS, windows
wide open, the pure, fragrant
mountain air whispering a sweet,
soothing lullaby. Oh, dear! What
pity the whole sweltering world
couldn't be in Highland at such
a time! She is at her best, and
the most eAactlng nature could ask
for nothing better.
