Familiar Pattern

Howling winds, crashing trees and a city plunged into darkness. That is a familiar pattern to South Floridians, a pattern that has been followed faithfully ever since the first electric light burned feebly for the first time in the Miami area. To that pattern should be added another picture-a picture of men and trucks and equipment rolling into the darkness even before the storm winds had fully abated. Those men, the employees of the Florida Power and Light Company, worked tirelessly, facing the searing death that lurks in the fallen power lines, to restore light and power to our homes and places of business. One man even gave his life trying to replace a wire that had been downed by last week's storm. For them, even the people who had to wait several days for their electricity, can have only the words of highest praise. Without thought of food or sleep they strove tirelessly to try to right the havoc the storm had wrought. Is it not saddening then, to realize that their battle with the elements was one that need not have been? Does it not give food for sober thought to know that the life that was snuffed out on that power pole might have been needlessly taken? South Florida learned a lesson from the mighty hurricane that swept across the state in 1926, leaving death and destruction in its wake. Since that time we have built wisely so that our buildings stand unharmed in the face of the buffeting gales. Unfortunately such is not the case with our power system. Every storm that howls through this area means certain damage to poles and overhead wiring-days of darkness without power and light. Isn't it about time these needless poststorm heroics are eliminated through proper installation of our power transmission system?

Responsibility isn't something to preach to others. It's something to accept yourself.

OUR TOWN Still Punching

-By Jim Moore- It was raining outside and the old lady walked into the city room and asked if she might wait until the bus arrived. She sat there quietly, looking at the rain beating against the window for a minute, and then began surveying the room. Suddenly her eyes lit up, she sat a bit more erectly and a wide smile spread over her face. "Why this is a newspaper office, isn't it?" she asked, seeming to sniff the air for a whiff of printer's ink. Informed that she was indeed seated within the sacred confines of the fourth estate, she sat back in her chair and beamed contentedly. "I was a newspaperwoman when I was a girl," she informed me. "My first interview was with Wilbur and Orville Wright just after they made their successful flight in their airplane at Kitty Hawk. "That was a long, long time ago, and now I live on a farm in the Redlands, but I'll never forget those days on the paper." Things became quiet in the room, except for the busy clicking of the typewriters. Then she leaned forward towards my desk. "Tell me," she asked, "Do newspapers still try to make things right that are wrong? Back when I was a girl on the paper, if we found out that somebody was doing wrong, we'd all just get together and punch at 'em until they made things right again. Do newspapers still do that?" Yes, thank God, newspapers still do. Maybe we don't use the same terminology that the old lady used. Maybe we've speeded up our tempo with modern printing equipment, teletypes and the like. Basically, however, a newspaper's duty to the community it serves has not changed one iota from the day that little old lady interviewed the Wright brothers. If anything, as the world has grown more complex, a newspaper's duty has increased. If a newspaper has knowledge of things that are wrong in the town it serves, and it does not point them out, then it is remiss in its duty and not worthy of the name newspaper. And the former newspaper woman down in the Redlands, as well as our readers, can rest assured that if something is wrong in Coral Gables, you'll find every member of the staff of The Riviera-Times "punching at 'em" until things are made right again.

Poet's Corner

SIGH TIME A little girl was bold She sought a boy, it seems, How sweet would be her longing If she wrapped it up in dreams. Her eyes would speak the whisper Her heart deny the truth And he would hearken to the echo For sighs belong to youth. DIGEST The seed of peace Is planted in the cradle The growth of peace Is knowledge well dispersed The harvest of peace Is principle in action. INTELLECT AND FORM You live under government And I'll live under Law You sharpen up the sword I'll keep the cunning in the paw. -Alma Jenness.

The Storm Before the Calm?

FROM A RIVIERA NOTEBOOK

By Mary Helm Clarke A COMMUNITY OF CAMPFIRES Recently we parked the car and joined the High Schoolers around the big bonfire, singing lustily and yelling themselves hoarse for dear old Ponce. To some of us the flaming campfire and exuberant spirits seemed a fitting commemoration for the week's anniversary, September 18. Back when underground utilities were unheard of, a big storm, known as the '26 hurricane, gave a puff and a blow and another puff and a blow, and blew a lot of utility poles and wires to the ground. The power company had a tremendous task to get every home in working order, electrically speaking. Meanwhile, Coral Gables residents went in for pioneering and camping out. The tidal wave and big blow had also polluted the water supply and "boiled" water mains, so the first move was to dig wells to reach the pure, underground water level, 24 feet below the limestone "filter." The next problem was the preparation of food. Many of the new homes had added outdoor grilles and swanky rotisseries for occasional barbecues. They were put to immediate use for regular meals. Other folks just gathered debris from the stricken area and built bonfires. Whether the flame came from a wrought iron grille or a rock-lined trench, it is safe to assume the meal was pretty much the same. There would be boiled coffee, toasted wieners and a can of beans. Coral Gables might have been a scene from the old song, "Tenting On The Old Camp Ground," with block after block dotted with bonfires. The '26 hurricane caught up another dream for the "blueprint" area and carried it away into oblivion. That was the plan for a large out-door market at a triangle on University Drive. Excavation had already been completed for the basement and refrigeration pipes, but somehow, after the Three Bs, (the Boom, the Blow, and the Bust) there seemed to be no heart in finishing the project. The saucer effect on the triangular block seemed to call for a huge bonfire and a circle of exuberant sports fans. On the next block, the University set up its "temporary" campus, and it didn't take the students long to see the possibilities in the "market bowl!" It has been the site of many a bonfire during the twenty one years of the youth of Coral Gables. September 18, 1926. As the sweet smelling smoke from native pine rises to meet the stars we remind ourselves that September 18 is not an anniversary to celebrate, but it is surely a date to remember.

It Says Here

Now that the Big Puff and the Little Huff have both blown past us, the big query around town is "Would you like to have some avocadoes?" That's because everybody has more on the ground than they have on the trees and they're all ripe. Which makes it hard to understand how one local grocer could have the gall to advertise them this week at two for twenty-nine cents... And did you see the sign on the Coral Theater marquee the day after the hurricane? Lettered across the battered glass of the marquee was the legend "Now Playing-Smashup"... Art Weiland and Charlie Tutan are regular Nimrods with tales about their recent hunting trip in the Canadian wilds. They bagged two bears and two moose and could have shot a lot more, they report. Andy Houston, who is vacationing in New England, is planning his itinerary to bring him through Philadelphia the day the Hurricanes play Villanova. They say Andy's special for a speedy recovery to George Bovo, who is hospitalized... Rodney and Helen Miller are spending ten days in Guatemala... The Kiwanis Bulletin informs us that business will be good for the next four or five years. Comforting, n'est ce pas? Chip Edwards has painted his house a deep brown with dusty pink window trim and white jalousies and white roof. Looks real purty... Everybody and his brother is after Connie Henderson now that his South Miami housing project is nearing completion. But you have to be a vet with children to get customers and you have to finance through the Veterans Housing Bureau. That's handling it the right way... Frank Harris is back from a vacation trip. His partner, Jack H. Reynolds, Jr., will be leaving for Texas and other parts in a week or ten days... A. R. Davis, having built ten houses on S. Greenway, has started a five-room, three-bedroom home for himself on that street... Frank Harris is back from his upstate vacation. He's associated with the [?C. H.?] Crandon real estate agency in the area. We hear that planning a dub's tennis tournament at the Country Club. Only those who haven't had a racquet in their hands for over ten years will be eligible... By postcard from Paris we heard indirectly from Seth Blakeman who is attending the Boy Scout Jamboree. A friend from the North met him there and let us know about it... The M for M Club is running Dr. L. D. Pankey for president. Had your car inspected yet? From where we sit, the line looks longer every day... Col. P. J. O'Shaughnessy, who drove back from North Carolina through the area hit hardest by the Hurricane, tells us that things are really a mess in the Palm Beach section. He says Coral Gables looks excellent in comparison, and has a word of praise for the park crews who did such a quick clearance job. After the storm was over: Ray Westcott spent 24 hours before and after the hurricane helping clients take down or put up awnings. Over at the Country Club for an evening of "relaxation" Friday, he listened patiently while a dozen friends recounted 1. how their awnings blew away; or, 2. how their awnings did NOT blow away. As the last one departed, the yawning awning man was heard to mutter 'Yah' why don't you go somewhere and buy jalousies!'... The Wilbur Jennings made out fine during the blow but went underground immediately afterwards. "A rat must have drowned under the house and we'll have to find the body or move!" they reported. Strictly Fresh Richmond Va., fire alarm boxes were painted with indelible red stain that stays wet a month. Firemen wanted to catch false alarmers red-handed. An East St. Louis driver rescued a man's false teeth form the bottom of the Mississippi River. The feat enabled him to put the bite on the man for $75. A survey discloses that 90 per cent of Mississippi farmhouses don't have running water. Until the levees go, that is. A 14-year-old boy competing against 4-H girls won first prize in cookie baking at the Monroe County, N. Y., fair. At his age that certainly takes the cake.
