TRYING TO FIND THE SOURCE OF
THE POWER OF A HURRICANE

The threeday study of the air currents in the hur-
ricane Carol while walowed in the Atlantic off the
Florida and Georgia coasts of especial interest to Key
Wesers whose experiences with hurricanes 60 farther
back than those of residents of any other city in the
state.
One objective of the study is to try to determine the
source Of of hurricanes That's something that
everybody is interested in learning. We marvel over
the mystery of the power generated by q hurricane
which has been high, in few instances as one tri-
lion cubic inches Of pressure over its entire area.
Let us consider only one hurricane, with which
many Key Westers familiar-the 1919 blow whose
center passed II miles south of Key West In those
days hurricane not spotted quickly it is now
and depended radio from ships that encounter
ed hurricane from places that had been struck by it
For that reason we did not know how old the 1919
hurricane was when it first reported. It required
three days for it to reach Key West and it continued
going till the last report about that had passed
over Pittsburgh and had died down to 20 miles hour
Two weeks and four days elapsed from the time
reported till it dying out while passing over Pitts
burgh
Energy? Power? Where did that hurricane and
all others get their energy power? Several years
ago The Citizen ventured guess that the power
generated by the explosion of hydrogen atoms in the
vortex, the of the cyclonic winds. Winds are
strongest the vortex and the farther away they
get from it the their force decreases.
It has been reported that the explosion of an
A-b0mD or an H-BOmD releases WIND blast stronger
than any developed by Nature. 1t said that the
wind from A-Bomb explosion in the Pacific attained
velocity of 700 miles hour within radius of 10
miles of the explosion.
Researchers also released balloons in the "eye" or
center of Carol to trace wind by watching the
balloons. Above all the currents is wind that forever
blows from west to east in accord with the worlds
spinning on its axis from west to east.
Researchers think there is current that indicates
the direction in which hurricane will travel That
may be true but the thing that myses us is the source
of a hurricanes power.

is there in wasting your years and
lives for such small salaries? And
putting up with service towns civil
lans? For what? To have some
civilian tell you that you can get
out now, and 60 home? It's beside
the point that most of these men
were in the last two conflicts. It's
beside the point that a lot of these
men were taken from school and
cont know any trade other than
that which they are now in. What
would they do on the outside?
To be heroes they were supposed
to have died. Their crime is to
have survived. Their second crime
seems to be to want their families
with them. The third crime Is to
have children and the children to
have pets.
Submarine families are living on
the fat Of the land! When they
have paid their rent for eighteen
months they will have enough saw
ed to take their family to the over
haul port, not counting back, on
their own time and money.
Men are given assignments to
give lectures to the men who are
about to ship over, giving reasons
why they should ship over. What
powerful fighting force we will
have if they listen to civilians.
How can we expect the govern.
ing bodies to do anything about
our salaries when the civilians feel
like they do?
What can my husband do when
he does get out? Our pension will
pay the rent, and his life insurance,
If he buys some. Who will give him
work? Besides he is suppose to be
retiring. Who ever heard Of 4 re
tired civilian having work for !
living? If we only got time and Z
half for overtime! We would be
set for life!
The citizens of Key West are the
most loyal and entertaining friends
that we have. To them we are Jus,
people. Not Navy but what WI
make ourselves. So please, people
don't judge Key WeSters by the
civilians that write their persecu.

The game Of billiards is an
ancient and honorable pastime.
The history books tell US that
kings and their courts whiIed away
many hours around the table in
ancient times.
Cleopatra ID supposed to have
shot q pretty fair game Of pool.
Dar0nial castles were usually
equipped with luxurious billiard
rooms.
The common man, however, u.s.
ually couldn't afford such q lay
out. He patronixed public billiard
houses. Those public houses were
recognised as perfectly legitimate
gathering places for the ladies as
well as the men.
Somewhere, along the line, how
ever, billiard houses (pool rooms,
that is) fell into disrepute. It was
apparently q wall-deserved dis
reUute.
IN the first few years of this
century in America, for example,
pool rooms were gathering places
for the tougher element. Young
bucks gathered in front Of the
establishments to whistle at the
girls and IN the back rooms, var
iOuG games Of chance were the
rule rather than the exception.
Pool rooms we're just not
freQuented BY the better class.
That was 10 years ago.

If american Woman" was as
rude to the Shore Patrol as she
was in her recent letters to the
editor concerning the regular
Navy, is it any wonder they paid
no attention to her?
They have many things to do
besides listening to the complaints
Of someone who probably had no
intentions of cooperating with
them. Evidently her toes are the
ones who have been stepped on.

They happened to be close by
and although I'm sure a neighbor
would have taken the child, the
Shore Patrol did it with no hesita-
ton. No one rushed bouquets OF
flowers the next time they drove
by, but still it was appreciated.
If we didn't have the Shore
Patrol, it might be necessary t.
remove a town policeman from
his beat. Either that or 60 with

by having a small police force
of their own to bolster the loca

Judging by the discussions that
have been going on in Key West
recently regarding prohibition in
Florida, many residents evidently
are under the impression that
Monroe, like IS other counties in
the state, win also have to vote
on the liquor question. But such
is not the case in Monroe, as Il
is one of four counties in Florida
that were wet when the state
constitutional prohibition amend.
ment was adopted in November,
1918. The other three counties
are Hillsborough, ESeambia, and

much in the way of clean recrea-
ton. Isn't it better for them to
play a couple Of games of pool
than to spend their time soaking
it up in a bar?
Nobody can censure the police
department for enforcing the law
in this case.
But / think it would be a good
move on the part of the city to
consider an ordinance which would
allow pool rooms to remain open
on Sunday. The police department
could see to it that the law is
observed.
Movie theaters and bowling
alleys are allowed to operate on
Sunday-why not legitimately run
pool rooms?
