There isn't a half-way point in this aversion to the windy havoc- creating menaces. Their ex perience in Jamaica during the recent hurricane, which laid waste so much of the island, was their first experience. "And I certainly hope it is my last," Mrs. Burke said last week on her return.

"But there is ome impression I find everyone has which I think should be corrected about the hurricane," Mrs. Burke said. "Not all the island has been ser- jously damaged. And all the tour- ist hotels, which are mostly lo- cated on the morth shore, came through with very minor dam= age. Anyone wanting to take a trip to Jamaica this winter can do so with the full assurance that they will be comfortable, and will have as pleasant a time as ever" Mrs. Burke felt: that the economy of the island would be assisted if people realized that winter vacations could still be spent there. The island deriyes considerable revenue from these visitors. The devastation wrought on the banana crops was the major blow' to the island income, but will be back in production in about nine months, Mrs. Burke said. While thé hurricane was! tear- ing at their hotel, the Burkes were forced to vacate their room and take a camp, cot in the corri- dor. But after 'the higher tham 100. m.ph. winds had abated, the damage td the hotel consisted merely of broken glass and some shingles which were torn from the roof. The garage was flatten- ed, but none of the cars were damaged. The Welch Fusfeliers, camped near the hotel, occupied the top floor during the storm, as life in the open was impos= sible. Their mascot, a goat, also came through the storm withaut harm. "Phe feeling as each increase in the wind hit the hotel is hard to describe," Mrs. Burke said. "You, began to wonder if there would. ever be a let-up. And when the heart of the storm was over us, and the sudden silence came it was even worse. When the wind came back with full force it. seemed more than, any build- ing could stand." Mrs. Burke said her daughter: was interested in everything that went on, and did not seem to be worried at any time. As there were no lights what so ever in.the corridor, this was somewhat of am achievement for a 9 year old. Burke's company was for- tunate In having. very little da age dome to any of their premi es. When all communication, not only within the island but with the outside was severed by the storm, the ham radio stations took over communication, but a very round about route was re- quired owing to the restriction of wave lengths. Mr. Burke's mes- sages to Kingston, 60 miles away, went by ham operator from Port Antonia to Porto Rico then to Montego Bay and from there to Kingston, It was extremely difficult, of course, to get through any message except top priority, so the Burkes could not advise their family and friends of their safety. - "The arrival of the Canadian Red Cross relief airship gave us a great feeling of pride in Can- ada," Mrs. Burke said. "It was an R.CAF. ship, and it brought penicillin and blankets and other supplies which were badly need- ed." There was also amti-toxin against the dread typhoid aboard, and everyone was given shots of this, she said. She stressed the point that there was no danger of typhoid for visitors if they had their shots before they went, and again hoped that anyone planning a Jamaica holiday this year would make it as planned. "It would be one way of helping them, and there's no reason why people shouldn't go." Quality Venetian Blinds Custom Made Guaranteed Two Years REPAIR and LAUNDRY SERVICE Venetian Blind Laundry & Mfg.
