HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Seaforth News, 1961-03-23, Page 7Alpine Huts Thut Hearten Wanderers Hundreds of huts stand ready in the whole region of the Alps to receive the wanderer and the mountaineer, Some are large and sturdy, perched defiantly on sad - dies and . ridges; others, like eagle's eyries, destined only to be used as emergency shelters, their lay -out and fittings limited to the bare necessities. But in both a sense of safety may be felt more keenly than under any roof in town or countryside, Anyone who has ever made his way up steep ascents towards such a hut, his back bowed under the weight of a heavy rucksack, in the broil- ing sun, perspiring and with parched throat, knows what it is to step with a sigh of relief into the shade of the hut. The sense of security is felt to the full only on a stormy night, for instance when we have been overtaken by a sudden thunder- storm, when pitch darkness hides from view the ragged, tousle - headed clouds that only a mom- ent before were all ablaze, and when the last pale gleam 'of the sunset -glow has suddenly van- ished from the highest summits, Now a new aspect of ,the moun- tain i- rovealec, tv, i e grope our way along the narrow track, which is ,seen only far short in- stances in the brilliant flashes of lightning. How easy it is then for the feeling that one is utterly lost to creep into the heart, fill- ing it with strange forebodings, while the thunder rumbles around and among the rocky ridges, , , , And when at last, high up, a faint, dim, flickering light is seen, cast by a wind -lantern hung outside. the window by the soli- citous hut -keeper to guide be- nighted travellers, one breathes a sigh of relief. How much com- fort, courage and confidence is abroad by this tiny gleam of light! As soon as the door is shut behind us we feel safe again. However wildly the storm may rage outside, however much the mountain -side may tremble at the thunder -claps, here is refuge, shelter and warmth. — From "The Haunted Realm"—By Paul Eggeasberg, in the book "Across the Alps." Stole A Bicycle From Scotland Yard: Arriving home from a party in the early hours of the morn- ing recently, a householder had the shock of his life, During his absence a daring thief had re- moved the whole of the back porch of his luxury house, brick by brick, and driven off in a truck with the loot. That happened in. California but examples of crooks' audacity are being reported from all over the world. One strolled into a London police station, made his way to a room set apart for detectives attached to the divi- sion, and walked off with a couple of new overcoats. Another thief once sneaked Into Scotland Yard by a back door and rode out a few moments later through the main gate on a police superintendent's bicycle and got clear away. Even snore daring was a crook who, knowing that the titled wo- man owner was away, entered her Thames -side flat and took up residence there for several days, eating her food and sleep - big in her bed. He was so pleasant and lis - 'creed that the other tenants took Ids right for granted. On her return the owner found that the man had taken only a few books, . including poetry, and the pick of her wine lellar. He was never caught. The porter of a block of Paris flats was called to the sixth floor to do some work and left a notice pinned to her door: "The porter is upstairs." When she returned she found the notice reversed and this written on the back: "Thanks for the tip. Much obliged. All has gone off well." It had,. too. Goods worth $2500 had vanished from three flats whose owners were out shop- ping. Similar cheek was displayed by an enterprising Colorado crook. He looked through a window, noticed that a woman who had been watching tele- vision had dozed off in her arm- chair, forced an entrance and stole the TV set while she still slept.

Folks Are Thirsty In Tennessee Of Tennessee's 95 counties, from the haze -cloaked peaks of the Smokies westward to the misty bottoms along the Missis- s:poi, there are only nine where a customer can legally buy le- gally manufactured liquor. And Knox County, where sprawls Knoxville, the state's fourth largest city (population 111,127), is not one of the nine. But Knox- ville rarely thirsts. The clubs and loge halls and veterans' posts keep well -stock- ed bars. Convenient neighbor- hood bootleggers, some of them with curb service, sell famous - name whisky at about $6.50 a fifth. Play -at-home citizens have always been able to telephone obliging bootleggers who would deliver direct to the door. Knoxville, indeed, has repeat- edly voted down the local op- tion of going wet. Last month, though, Knoxville was as dry as a 10 -to -1 Mar- tini. Except for beer, sold legal- ly throughout Tennessee, the city was a desert of parched party- goers and cowed bootleggers, who stashed their stocks across the county line and dealt stealth- ily with only their most trusted clients. Bulky Sheriff Herman Wayland, the man who closed up Knoxville, predicted that be- fore he was finished the price of whisky in Knox County would rocket to $15 a fifth. Wayland, a -Democrat who took office last Sept. 1. gat his Ten- nessee dander up a few weeks ago at Republican charges that he was putting old-line bootleg- gers out of business and install- ing his own syndicate, Wayland went raging to a fellow Demo- crat, Gov. Buford Ellington, and got a promisee of help for his 27 deputies from state troopers and state alcohol tax unit agents. Then he struck. Raiders carrying brand-new sledge hammers dashed into the posh Cherokee County Club, startling the ladies at their regu- lar Wednesday afternoon bridge. They found other lady members watching a fashion show at Hol- ston Hills Country Club In all, they hit three city and six coun- ty clubs, seized 260 gallons of liquor, arrested nine club offi- cials, and for good measure seiz- ed 52 (of the county's Federally licensed 102) slot machines. After that first big day, Way- land turned his attention to boot- leggersat the end of last month had raided scores, arrested some 50 persons. He let it be known,. what's more, that undercover operatives are keeping an eye on clubs and bootleggers. The sheriff's vigilance was paying off, as one Knox County bootlegger attested: "I wouldn't sell a drop of whisky to my thirsty grandma." Something had to give eventu- ally, of course, and now it just might be the voters of Knox County. The State Legislature is considering two bills that would maks it easier for the city to legalize liquor sales. And the city, having just built a $6 mil- lion convention hall, is perfectly well aware that few conventions can get off the ground on hot air alone, As Others See Us Dept—A columnist says in Punch maga- zine: I enjoyed receiving from New York a letter whose stamp portrayed the Statue of Liberty beneath the proud slogan "Liber- ty for All," The whole thing was coaceled with a postmark say- ing, "Aliens must report their addresses during ,lanullry.
