Bermuda high" is the official cause
of the worst heat wave that has en-
veloped the country in fifteen years
That means a great area of high-pres-

weather drill grounds in the Atlantic
off Bermuda for the last month and has
let go the full power of it's offensive

For weeks it has stood like a solid

them northward over the continent into
