ing of a trawler, the Loch Lomond The gallant skipper, whose name had not yet been ascertained as this edition went to press, found himself near @ U-boat that had apparently been driven to the sur- face by depth-chargeS.
 Instead of veering away from the U-boat and allowing nearby warships to attack, the Loch Lo- mond turned her bow directly at the Nad and approached full speed ahead. A British destroyer was forced to hold its fire in fear of hitting the trawler while the U-boat opened fire on the Loch Lomond. It was point-blank range, and the trawler was se- verely hit several times, sinking before achieving its evident pur- pose to ram the U-boat which was later captured by the de- stroyer. No survivors of the Loch Lomond have been reported"
 Rollins smiled sadly to himself. He was recalling the ruddy-faced Scot who had stood on the bridge and waved merrily as he passed the troop ships back in the Ca- nadian port while the men sang the song suggested by the painted over name on the bow.

Bermuda Keeps Charm
Amid Wartime busHe

HAMILTON, Bermuda, Dec. 81
The year 1941 will be remembered In
island annals as "the year Of the
great transition" when Bermuda
shifted from an exclusively tourist
economy to an infinitely broader
basis.
Bermuda today is an attractive
travel resort. yet it is also key
stone of Anglo-Amerfcan collabora-
tions. In recent months, in addi-
ton to entertaining American visi-
tors, Bermuda has provided home
for British evacuees, censors, sailors
and soldiers and American troops
to man the new United States bases
In brief, Bermuda has become far
more purposeful than 1t ever was
before the war.
During the period Of change Ber-
mudians have not lost their sense OF
perspective. Their island home is
very old and they are stepped in its
loving traditions II the present
boom spelled ruination of the char
acteristic Bermudian way Of life
the citizens would be sad indeed
In contrast to rumors given cur
rency abroad, the bases occupy only
one-twentieth of the island area
far removed from the residential
sections.

Tiny Nassau Paper
Is Collectors Item

NASSAU, N. p, Bahamas, Dec.
27.-Among the shell jewelry, Coco
nut straw hats and British woolens
Americans take home from their
Nassau holidays there is likely to
be these days a treasured copy OF
the Belmont Herald, a mimeo-
graphed newspaper published here
by a group of English youngsters
who are in Nassau for the duration
of the war.
The Herald, which sells for "a
penny ha'penny a copy, originated
during the game Of chess when
one of the young evacuees proposed
that the boys print a paper to
teach the game to other pupils.
The scheme expanded until it be-
came newspaper. In the five
months since its founding the Her
AIDS circulation has just about
doubled.
Copies Of the Herald have become
collectors items and the subscrip-
ton list now includes the names

Palm Beach and planned early to
shut out undesireables, they still
are coming to a spot where they
can attend brilliant social events
with the assurance they will meet
only members of their own set.
Activities Aid War Work.
Many of this years social activi-
ties are being turned into war work
affairs. The once-famous flower
show, for instance. has been called
off for the duration. and public
tours of Palm Beachs famed gar
dens for the benefit Of war relief
have taken its place.
The beneficiary of these affairs
this year will be the U. S. o. or
some other strictly United States
activity. just as the fashionable
cause last year was the British and
the year before it was the Firms.
The KiWanis benefit for under
privileged children, when Holly
wood and broadway converge here
for night, will go on as usual-as
much part of the winter scene as
the beach from which the town
takes its name.
The beach, in fact, is going and
going fast. Many years ago some
of the old-timers noticed that ero-
sion slowly was carrying away the
sand on which the towns residents
lolled- They cried out in alarm, but
few listened.
Today many of the oceanfront
estates have no more beach. The
water laps hungrily at steel bulk
heads that shore up the precious
earth.
Take Anti Erosion Steps.
This year several waterfront prop
| critics sold at fantastically low prices
| and the landowners at last got busy.
Anti-erosion measures are being
hurried to save what beach Is left
and build it back to where it once
! stood.
Another change has taken place
in property holdings. 1t has been
years since anybody built a fab
ulouS pleasure dome such as the
Edward T. Stotesbury or Joseph E.,
Davies establishments or Hugh Dill
mans El Mirasol, erected by the
colorful oil developer, Josh Cosden,
in a more lush era.
Now Palm Beachers are building
charming little places OF the latest
British colonial architecture, es-
chewing the gaudy architectural
styles that once prevailed. This
change does not alarm the old
timers, however, as does the beach
erosion.
The town management remains in
the hands of the ultra -conserva-
tives who guard jealousy the area 8
exclusiveness. The promoters who
swarm to Florida in the winter still
are met coldly at the town limits
and directed elsewhere.
Money is still money, approXi-
mately the same people have it. and
they are coming to Palm Beach as
usual for the winter.
