It was on Oct when "Hazel," the eighth 15, big tropical storm of the year, slammed into the Carolinas, up through Virginia, and into Canada. Low, gray clouds covered the' sky. The woods surrounding our farm looked dark and gloomy. The wind roared, bending trees down to the ground and sending a bus hickory tree down on our chicken house. The rain came down in sheets. Then the "eye" or center part of, the hurricane came over. The rain stopped and the wind died down to a mere breeze. This did not last for long because the outer perimeter of the hurricane came over. ; The shingles cn our roof were blowing away. In the wind. So, my mother and our nearest neighbor got up on the roof and nailed the shingles down with beards, while I was out in the yard bracing myself against the wind, with gusts up 73 to miles an hour, and picking up shingles. The wind roared like a freight train and ripped at my clothing, and rain blew in my face. Tint is one storm I won't forget! Yours sincerely, Carole Miller Aa II Laurel, Va. Fsmlly Weekly Kagazim, April IS, 2 SSI Dear Miss Barrows: I have a very unusual pet He is a wild bay lynx cat, caught near He was just two weeks old when his mother was killed, and we have had him now for seven months. We named him "Bacchus." He is very smart He runs free in our house, plays with the dogs and cats, and is full of mischief. His mother weighed 33 pounds. Bacchus weighs 16 now and will be full grown in two years. We raised him on a doll's nursing bottle, and he still takes about six bottles a day plus his other food. He is the only known bobcat around here that is tame. We never give him raw meat only eggs, .cereal, and cooked meat He takes his bottle lying on his back and holds it himself. He can jump six feet high. We have a,collar , and bell on him, so we can hear him when he is around. .
