Medical ClinicIs New Island Success

by Richard Arthurs

The Louis S. Wegryn MemorialClinic on Sanibel-Captiva Road has beenin business for all of six weeks now and,according to Dr. Wegryn, operations areprogressing smoothly. The success of theclinic is a promising sign for Sanibel inihat previous attempts by doctors toestablish a full-time practice on theIslands have met with failure for the mostpart. Dr. Wegryn attributes his progressto the excellent, up-to-date facilities hehas assembled at the clinic.

In the field of physiotherapy theclinic is equipped with whirlpool, heattreatment, sonicator, hot wax treatment,and I.P.O. respiratory treatment. Also onthe premises are a fully equippedorthopedic department and a X-raydepartment which will begin operationsas soon as one small piece of machineryarrives from Miami, where it has beendetained, due to the recent airline strike.The clinic boasts complete laboratoryfacilities equipped to do urinary analysis,blood tests, and culture analysis as well.A helicopter landing pad for immediateambulance service to and from themainland is also forthcoming in the nearfuture. The crowning glory of the clinic'simpressive catalogue of facilities is theTelemed Computer which performselectrocardiograph analysis (EKG), anindispensable aid in treating heartpatients. This computer feeds directlyinto the main Telemed Computer inChicago, one of the largest computerbanks in the world. According to TelemedCentral, the computer at the WegrynCiinic is the only one of its kind inSouthwest Florida. Furthermore, theclinic is outfitted with a double intercom.

system to insure maximum efficiency ofcommunication within its walls.

Two procedures being done at theclinic eliminates the necessity ofhospitalization for hemoroidectomies andD. & C.'s. New equipment at the clinicsuch as cryosurgical and suctioncurettage devices allow this approach.

There are three staff physicianspracticing at the clinic at this time,Stanley P. Wegryn, M.D., StephanHalabis, M.D., and Joseph Isley,. M.D.Dr. Wegryn, the head of the clink, is aboard-certified gynecologist and a mem-ber of the American College of Surgeons,with extensive training in public health.Dr. Halabis is a general practitioner andgeneral surgeon who specializes inorthopedics and vascular surgery. Dr.Isley is a board-certified radiologist. Heand his associates are in charge of theX-ray department at the clinic. There isalso an unfurnished suite of rooms at theclinic waiting for an optometrist, as Dr.Wegryn is hopeful of locating the rightman in the not-too-distant future.

The clinic, named for Dr. Louis S.Wegryn, former president of the StateMedical Society of New Jersey, is openfrom 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday throughFriday, and is qualified to carry onemergency room procedures, for whichreason there is always a doctor on thepremises at 9 a.m. on Saturday andSunday.

But perhaps the most notableachievement of the clinic is the buildingitself. The spacious, comfortable, mod-ern, one-story structure which houses theonly medics on the Islands wasconstructed by Ralph Clark, a man whohas ample reason to be proud of theservice he's done for the community.

Bicentenial Book Reviews

RED PATRIOTS:THE STORY OF THE SEMINOLES

by Chutes Coe[University of Florida Press $12.00]

'RED PATRIOTS'REPRODUCED FOR BICENTENNIAL

by Ernest LyonsThe Staart News

Charlton W. Tebeau of CoralGables had kindly sent me one of the firstcopies of the facsimile reproduction ofCharles H.Coe's "Red Patriots."

The sympathetic book on theSeminoles published in 1898, is believedto have been responsible for a turn in thetide of governmental and public attitudestoward the Florida Indians. As SamuelProctor, general editor of the Bicenten*nial Floridiana Facsimile Series remarksin the preface, Coe's book was the first toreview the entire history of the Seminolesfrom the time they first migrated intoFlorida in the 1730's.

"Mr. Coe attempted to prick theconscience of the nation in 'RedPatriots," Proctor wrote. "He wanted thepeople of Florida to redeem their honorby recognizing the legal and propertyrights of the Seminoles."

Tebeau, professor emeritus of theUniversity of Miami, author of manybooks on Florida, has done a magnificent

job in a 34-page introduction. While Iknew Coe intimately here in Stuart in the1930's and 1940's, I now feel that I knowhim much better. He died at the home ofhis son, Mayne Reid Coe at Jupiter onMarch 23, 1954, in his 99th year, so hemust have been 43 years old when "RedPatriots" was published by the EditorPublishing Co. in Cincinnati, Ohio, in1898.

The Facsimile reproduction is inthe same type and with the sameillustrations as the original. It detailschapter by chapter exploitation of thetribe by white traders and the ruthlessattempts by the United States Army toeither exterminate them or remove themto Western reservations.

In the latter the government wassuccessful, except for a defiant remnantwhich fled into the deep Everglades andwhose descendants are now on reser-vations at Dania, Big Cypress andBrighton.

Proctor says that Coe chose thetitle of his book because of the Seminoles'"attachment to their land, theirresistance to being uprooted from theirwillingness to fight and die, if necessaryto remain in Florida, which waspatriotism of the highest order."

The book was a BicentennialCommittee choice because "it empha-sizes the cause and purpose of theAmerican Revolution: the attachment of

Americans of every race, color and creedto this country and their determination tofight and indeed to die for itsindependence."

We congratulate the BicentennialCommittee for its choice, and for itsselection of historian Tebeau, whoseresearch in the introduction is superb.While Coe tells us about their trials of thepast, Tebeau gives us a professionalhistorian's overall view and tells us whathas happened to the Seminoles in the 76years since the book was published.

"Red Patriots" was an almostforgotten episode in his long life when Ifirst met "Captain" Coe. The sprightlyold man with a tarnished yachting capand a white goatee had found a new love,an early edition of Jonathan Dickinson'sJournal. In his launch, Bucaneer I, hewas mapping and retracing the route ofthe shipwrecked Quakers, seamen andslaves wrecked on Jupiter Island in 1696,marking sites of Indian villages wherethey were held captive and passed up onthe coast to St. Augustine. I helped himfind some of the old sites.

Because of that book, Coe becamefriends with John and Bessie WilsonDuBois whose fishing camp at Jupiterwas located near a mound where theshipwrecked people were first held incaptivity.

Theywill perk your lawn up for the wintermonths and die out, leaving thepermanent grasses in early summer. Thisis a practical answer for folks who livehere only in winter and have troublekeeping their lawn looking nice whilethey are gone.

To establish a good thick stand ofwinter grass, the lawn area must beprepared adequately. The exisiting lawnshould be raked to remove all debris andloose material. This raking should befollowed by a close mowing. A 1 to 2 inchmowing height is sufficient. The lawnmay need to be cut more than once toreduce it to the desired height. A secondraking will remove additional materialand loosen the soil somewhat so that theseed may come in contact with the soil.

A good lawn fertilizer should beapplied before seeding. Several formu-lations are available including 16-4-8,12-4-8, 9-3-6, or 20-10-5. You will noticethat a high proportion of nitgrogen, thefirst of the three numbers mentioned, iscontained in the examples shown. Only alight application of fertilizer is necessaryat the time of seeding. Five to ten poundsper 1000 square feet should be adequatefor this first fertilization. Too much ismore harmful than none at all, so don't gooverboard on the fertilizer.

The most common variety of grassused for winter overseeding is rye grass.It has achieved its popularity because ofits fast, easy rate of establishment.

Several other cool season, north-ern grasses are becoming more widelyused. In tests at the Florida AgriculturalExperiment Station, bentgrasses, fescue-grasses, and bluegrasses were usedsuccessfully for overseeding. Althoughthese grasses are more expensive perpound of seed, they can be used at muchlower rates since the seeds are muchsmaller. For example, 5 to 10 pounds ofrye grass seed are necessary to overseed1,000 sq. ft. Only 2 to 5 lbs. of fescue per1,000 sq. ft. are needed and a half poundof bentgrass is sufficient. The seedingrate for bluegrass is 1 to 2 pounds per1000 sq. ft. A mixture of rye grass andfescue or bluegrass is often desirable.

Coverage is best if the seed issowed in two separate directions. Dividethe seed in half and broadcast half in aneast/west direction and die other half in anorth/south direction.

After seeding, rake the groundlightly to make sure the seed comes incontact with the soil.

Daily watering is necessary for thefirst two weeks to insure adequategermination. After this 2 week period,the watering interval should be increaseduntil the lawn is being watered only onceor twice per week. As this interval isincreased, a larger volume of watershould be applied at each watering.

Additional dry or liquid fertilizersmay be applied at monthly intervals afterthe lawn has become established.

Our ship the S. S. UniverseCampus of the Orient Overseas Line wastaking ever so long in drydock and thisgave us a wonderful opportunity to stay inHong Kong longer and explore. There'sTiger Balm Gardens which is like aChinese Disney World with displays ofstories and plays and people the worldover and fountains and castles andtemples to sit down in. Mr. Tiger thoughtit all up by himself - he has one inSingapore too -and Mr. Tiger made allhis money on balm, a cream about whichone can say:

"It turns you fat,It makes you lean,

It's the best darn stuffYou've ever seen."

And so he named this magical stuff afterhimself, Tiger Balm.

Across the way, of course, isVictoria Peak, the sort of Statue of Libertyof Hong Kong. Everyone and his unclegoes there. It's the thing to do. Iremember when we first took the tram upthe famous peak, from which you can geta magnificent view of Hong Kong. I spoketo four girls who were calling anextremely young man 'Daddy.' "Andwhere are you from?" I asked, friendlyfashion. Whereupon a little guy with apress agent camera said, "Don't youknow Pat Boone when you see him?"Sure enough the famous young fatherwas singing that week at the Hong KongHilton, or maybe it was that hotel wherethe Cinese young ladies go up sky high incages reminiscent of the famousBroadway play, "Shanghai Gesture"with the queen of the Palm Beach societyworld, Mrs. Laddie Sanford, its star. Ithink she was the one who fell to thestage down 20 steps in a flight of stairsafter 'Madame Goddam' gave her a heftypush.

Waking up in Hong Kong isfascinating. The first thing you hear arehawkers shouting about their wares,mostly fruit and vegetables: Even fromour room on the 15th floor of theInternational House we could hear themearly in the morning. From our windowswe could see mountains and the HongKong harbor and busy streets and schoolyards. The most unusual sight, however,was the "squatters" waking up. If youhave no home in Hong Kong, you sneakup to a roof top and put up a shelter. TheChinese squatter dutifully does hisexercises after he falls out of his cot.Mostly it is Chinese shadow boxing. Atnight when he is home from his work heflys kites from his lofty abode. Sometimesthere are a number of Chinese on rooftops and then there are parties with lightsand eating and music. But wherever youlook in Hong Kong you will see wash,wash, wash. The Chinese ladies hang outpants and shirts with sticks going throughthe sleeves and legs. Some times it seemsyou are staring at hundreds of lying downscarecrows.

International House on WaterlooRoad has guests from all over the worldand in the dining room and, the lobby wechatted with some of them — the manand his wife from Borneo who told usabout his music hall days in the theater.He was a call boy and the chorus girls hadhim run next door to the shop for meatpies (which they are forever eating inEngland). The little sales clerk took pityon the actresses with very small salaries,so when the owner wasn't looking, hesmashed the pies with his elbow,'bing-bing-bing' for "squashed pies"

sold for only a penny. And then the niceold 'Mr. Chips' sort of fellow who tookthe old lady from Australia out to dinner.She was eighty-one and traveling aroundthe world all by herself. Nothing pleasedher too much, I thought, when she saidafter one of our Chinese meals, "Wasthat kangaroo we had or pussycat?"

You see so many unusual couplesat International House, like the Irishmanfrom Dublin with a thick brogue orderingfried eggs for his wife in a JapaneseKimono plus an obi and her hair piledhigh.

St. John's Cathedral on the HongKong side has a nice custom. They servelunch every Wednesday for whoeverwants to come and then there is a concertof varied artists in the church. The day weattended, a Chinese sang a program ofGerman songs. And I thought the manfrom India, at lunch, would eat theCathedral ladies out of house and home.There were four or five kinds of bestbread - homemade bread I have evereaten and all the delicious jellies theEnglish can concoct plus soup and coffeeand lovely tea, all for three Hong Kongdollars. -

You go back and forth on StarFerries from Kowloon to the Hong Kongside. The ferries never stop and they areall named "Twilight Star," "MorningStar," "Evening Star," "Shining Star,""Twinkling Star," etc. Every strangertalks to everyone else especially theEnglish speaking visitors.

One learns that ladies from othercountries get very bored in Hong Kongfor they have a maid to do theirhousework and an 'Amah' who does theshopping and minds the children. I don'tsee why they would want to 'end-it-all' asit is rumored, for there is so much to do inHong Kong. I spent hours in MadameVivian's Wax Museum entranced with afigure of a young Chinese poet, I thinkLin Lo, bending while his mother etchedwith a stylus words of love on his back forhe was going away.

Jiiff fakey!Recipes Gathered by the Girls in the Office

Open the trunk of any veteran wildlife officer's car and you will find awide assortment of outdoor paraphernalia. This equipment lets him beself-sufficient, whether in the fields and forest or on the bank of a Floridalake, river, stream or canal.

This trunk cargo will include a sleeping bag, folding cot, mosquitonetting, axe, rope, tarpaulin, extra auto jacks and a mysterious chestcontaining all sorts of outdoor goodies that make living in the wildernesspossible.

Nestled in one section of the "possible box" will be the fixings for agame warden style "fish fry. These fixings include a black iron skillet, astove or grill, a coffee pot, a boiler for grits, a bowl for mixing hushpuppiesand an assortment of pie pan plates, cups and eating utensils.

Those who have participated in a late evening game warden fish fry willtake oath that it surpasses a New England clam bake, a Down East shoredinner or a super deluxe Florid seafood platter. Part of this gourmetdelight may be credited to the outdoor atmosphere and the freshness of thefish, but some accord must be given to the rustic culinary ability, of theseprotectors of wildlife and the environment.

A game warden fish fry will vary to some degree, depending onlocation, but the basics will include fried fish, cheese grits; hushpuppies,canned beans and coffee. The delight is not in the menu but in the way it'sprepared and the real key to success is simplicity and the lack of fuss andbother.

GAME WARDEN FRIED FISH:Big bass should be filleted, removing both skin and bones. Panfish such

as bluegill, shellcrackers, or the succulent stumpknocker should be friedwhole with only the scales, heads and entrails removed. The tail of thesmall fish provides a good handle, as eating fish with the fingers isacceptable outdoor etiquette.

Fish should be fried in deep, very hot, cooking oil. A veteran gamewarden system of checking the temperature of cooking oil is to drop amatch into the oil. When the match ignites, the temperature is perfect forfrying1 fish. There is no big flash or flame, just a little puff of smoke toindicate it's time to add the fish.

To ready the fish for frying, first mix corn meal, flour, salt and pepperin a large paper bag. Drop the cleaned fish into the bag and shakevigorously, coating each piece of fish with the mixture Remove the fish,shaking or knocking the excess mixture from each piece of fish. Place thefish, flesh side down, into the deep oil and have your fork or tongs handy,as it doesn't take long.

Fillets and small panfish are ready when they float to the surface of thecooking oil. Larger panfish or big bass require some additional cooking. Ifthe temperature is right, the fried fish should be a golden brown, cookedthroughout but with the natural moisture sealed in by the hot oil.

HUSHPUPPIESMany veteran game wardens prefer to mix their own hushpuppies;

however, during recent years, prepared bags of hushpuppy mix have beenfindng their way into the possible boxes of younger officers.

For the best possible hushpuppies, forget about the directions printedon the packet and mix the packaged contents with beer or tomato juicerather than water. The packaged hushpuppy mix contains dehydratedonions and even this can be improved by adding additional minced onionsor, preferably, minced green onions, tops and all. For variety, try adding acan of whole Icernel corn to the mixture.

Hushpuppies should be mixed at least half an hour prior to cooking toallow time for the dough to mellow and ingredients to become active.

Proper preparation of hushpuppies calls for slow cooking at moderatetemperature. Fry hushpuppies at the same time you fry fish and, chancesare, they will be burned on the outside and raw in the center.

It's best to fry hushpuppies while the cooking oil is heating for the fishfry or after the fish have been fried and the temperature reduced.

When cooked prior to frying fish, the little morsels can provide a choiceback woods hors d'oeuvre and help to keep the hungry horde out of thecooking area.

Hushpuppies fried early and placed in a paper bag which in turn isplaced in a styrofoam chest will remain hot until serving time.

A Grain Of Sea Saltby betzi abram

A GREAT EVENING FOR A SAIL

The other evening I had gone to bedfeeling rather disturbed and restless.After a bit of tossing and turning, I roseand went to watch the moonlight on thewater. How brilliant it was. The blackshadows of the palms fell oh thesnow-white sand, their silhouettesmoving gently in the slight breeze andgulf glittering like a millpond withrhinestone edges where the surf turnedgently over.

"Great time for a sail," I thought,"with that calm water and light air." Themore I looked, the more excited I becameover the idea, until I finally slipped intomy bathing suit and a polo shirt andsneaked out into the late, cool night.

The sand was cold under my feet andthe night air almost too chilly for my thinshirt, but I was too eager to go back intothe house. As I dragged the jolly little tubout from under the house and down to thewater's edge, all kinds of frighteningthoughts zipped through my head.Suppose the moon disappeared behindsome clouds (there wasn't a one in thesky) and before it came out again, I'dbeen blown out to sea and got lost?(Horrible!) Suppose I saw a hugh shipbearing down on me in the night and itran me down without ever even knowingit had hit me? (Ghastly!) Suppose I gotbecalmed and then it turned cold and Ifroze to death before morning? (Yech!)Suppose a shark...at this point, I decidedto get a sweater, a flashlight, a peanutbutter sandwich (for me, not the shark)and to change the subject.

Fortified by my midnight snack andwarmed by a cup of tea, I hoisted thesails, shoved off and jumped into theTub. She didn't mind sailing at night atall although I noted a strange tendencyfor her to keep imperceptibly nosingtoward shore. •

"Could it be / ' I asked myself sternly,"that you are chicken?" A cynical voicesaid yes. Be that as it may, myuneasyness soon disappeared. Thebreeze filled the sails nicely and the moonwas bright as day. I soon swung from myfright to bragadoccio and began planningto sail from the Beach pier over toTimmy's Nook on Captiva. "I'll just tieup at the dock there and walk over to myfriend's house and knock on her doorabout 7 o'clock in the morning and ask forbreakfast. Won't she be surprised?'"

That same cynical voice (that had said"yes" before) said "And won't YOU besurprised when it turns out to be 7 o' clockday after tomorrow - in the eveningmaybe even." I sighed in the face of suchsuperior wisdom and decided to sail fromthe pier to the Sanibel bridge and back.But by the time I got to Channel markernumber 4, my head was nodding and myeyelids were drooping, so Tubby and I

: turned around and headed home.."Great evening for a sail," I said to

myself. "So romantic! Not a sould withinmiles. All the shore line dark andsleeping except for a little light or twohere and there...nobody but you and me,Tubby."

"Look here,'' said that Voice again,

"don't give me any ot that you-and-mebit. You're the only person nuts enoughto be out here at 1 o'clock in the morningsailing up and down the coastline of FortMyers Beach, up to your -—•— in coldwater, teeth chattering, probably catch-ing your death of cold..."

"I am not!" I interrupted huffily. "INEVER catch cold." The voice and Imaintained a stuffy silence the rest of theway home. By some great stroke of luckthe breeze held til I pulled up on thebeach and then a great Airlessnessstruck. I was sure glad I wasn't just offKnapp's Point. I stowed everything awayand tottered in the house, congratulatingmyself on my adventure.

Let me tell you, I think more peopleshould go sailing at midnight because it'sa very distinctive experience and forthose of you with insomnia - well, it'll putyou to sleep faster than a glass of hotmilk. And you will be filled withappreciation for that fantastic inventionof man.. .a big, soft, warm DRY bed!

GET AWAY FROM THE CROWDGO FISHING

Where else can you spend apleasant weekend with family andfriends, not be wedged into, a traffic jamor crowded elbow to elbow.

Florida has over 28 thousandrivers,lakes, and streams which providenot only nearby access to fishing, butassures the angler he will have 'Elbowroom' for him and his family. And Floridaoffers a form of fishing to please mostanyone's tastes.

Whether it is casting for big bass,sitting on the bank with a cane pole andcan of worms, or drifting on a summerbreeze for crappie and catfish — there isalways some kind of fishing somewherethat will offer a challenge or interest.

In Florida, fishing is for everyone,and the often repeated statement that 10percent of the fishermen catch 90 percentof the fish may apply nationwide, butdoes not necessarily hold water inFlorida.

The only limiting factor to asuccessful Florida fishing trip is found inthe ingenuity and imagination of theangler. Establish a goal of a limit string often pound bass and the day may end injangled nerves and frustration.

On the other" hand, adopt thephilosophy of Sir Henry Wotton, anEnglish angler of two centuries ago, andfishing will provide pleasant memories.

Sir Wotton spoke thus of angling," 'Tis an employment for my idle time,which is then not idly spent: A rest to mymind, a cheerer of my spirits, a diverterof sadness, a calmer of unquiet thoughts,a moderator of passions, a procurer ofcontentedness."

HOGS ADDED TO BULL CREEKWILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA

Hog hunting sportsmen will find abonus of wild hog on the Bull CreekWildlife Management Area this year. Asa result of a cooperative effort betweenthe Game and Fish Commission and theMyakka State Park, over sixty-five wildporkers have been released in themanagement area during the year.

The hogs were trapped out ofMyakka Park where an overpopulation ofwild hogs create a nuisance to parkpersonnel and visitors. Plans are for theprogram to continue until a calculatedsurplus of one hundred hogs is removedfrom the park area. •

The majority of the hogs will beplaced on the Bull Creek area with theremainder scheduled for the Guana RiverWildlife Management Area. CarltonChappell, Commission biologist, indi-cated the moving should be completebefore the opening of the general huntingseason.

Hogs do constitute a major gameanimal in management areas where theymay be hunted. Last year, archersharvested thirteen hogs on the Bull Creekwhile twenty-five were taken during thegeneral season.

Chappell reminded sportsmen thathogs are not game animals throughoutthe state. Only certain counties, portionsof some counties, and specified manage-ment areas consider the hog as a gameanimal. Sportsmen should check a copyof the hunting or wildlife managementarea regulations before hunting hog inany specific locale.

3 SPECIAL GUN HUNTS SCHEDULED

Sportsment will get another shotat the three special gun hunts on GreenSwamp Management Area, according toRegional Game Biologist, Frank Montal-bano of the Game and Fresh Water FishCommission.

Scheduled for November 9-10,11-13 and 14-17, the three hunts wereoriginally open only to hunters whosubmitted applications to Tallahassee byOctober 19 for drawing.

According to Montalbano, thenumber of sportsmen who applied fellshort of the expected 750 shooters perhunt. November 9-10 hunt drew only 416sportsmen while 19 registered for the11-13 hunt with only 14 setting theirsights on November 14-17.

To give more hunters an opportun-ity to participate, Green Swamp's huntswill be open to sportsmen on a firstcome-first serve basis, Montalbano said.

"Those hunters wishing to enterGreen Swamp on the first come-firstserve basis," Montalbano said, "mustenter at Rockridge Road check stationonly. Sportsmen Who have receivedpermits from Tallahassee may enter ateither Rockridge Road or at the checkstation on HY 471."

Montalbano reminded hunterswho plan to participate in a hunt otherthan the one indicated on their permitmust enter on the first come-first servebasis.

2nd Annual HalloweenPartya Frightenting Success!

» PRIZE WINNERS Left to Right: "The Straw Girl"- Lorelei Woods • 1st prize as mostoutstanding & original. Ghost - Michael Purdy. "Cutest"- Pam Holland. Photography

* by Photo-Sanibel, Inc.

The 50-year-old timbers of theSanibel Community House, site of many agay Halloween party, reverberated againlast Thursday night to the tune of allhallow's eve fun and merriment when theisland's middle schoolers staged theirfirst unearthly get-together. A hauntedalcove complete with eerie, supernaturalsound effects and inhabited by several"disgusting specimens of inhumanity"set the mood for the festivities. Althoughthe traditional cornstalks had to bediscarded for the more accessible driedpalm fronds, the resourceful goblinscreated an altogether sinister atmosphereusing only various petrified materialsindigenous to the islands.

Ruth Hunter,, co-producer ofPirate Playhouse offerings, beguiledisland youngsters* as "Madame Haun-ter," fiendish fortune teller. Pennypitching, bobbing and dunking forapples, and dancing kept merry makerson their toes while the Scotty's Pubpopcorn machine provided palatabledelights for one and all.

Donuts and witches brew were

dispensed among tne youthful spritesuntil the costume judges arrived at theirdecisions. Lorelei Wood, a straw girl, wasselected as the most original and

outstanding of the revelers, ghostMichael Purdy as the scariest, RaggedyAnned Pam Holland as the cutest, and ananonymous little old lady was chosen asthe most picturesque. Honorable men-tions went to Jeff Hunter, who wasdisguised as a froggy-native-boy, andafro-bobbed Janis Price.

Island businesses which contri-buted prizes and refreshments to thestrange autumnal rites were Duncan's,Dairy Queen, the Coconut Grove, Casadel Mama, Huxter's, Three Star, andBailey's. The proceedings were aired that .same evening over station WINK bySanibel newsman Dan Bradley.

The Sanibel Community Associ-ation's Youth Committee sponsored theparty, which was attended by upwards ofseventy middle schoolers. Hopefully, theoverwhelming success of last week'sjovial gathering will make the affair anannual event.

SPECIAL PREFERENCE GIVENVETERANS SEEKING EMPLOYMENT

Many veterans are eligible forspecial preference when seeking employ-ment with the federal and stategovernments and, in some instanceswives, widows and mothers of disabledveterans also are entitled to suchpreference, says W. B. Mackall, Directorof Florida's Division of Veterans Affairs.

Civil service preference for federalemployment is generally granted toveterans of all wars and certain peacetime veterans. Veterans have five pointsadded to the passing scores andservice-connected disabled veterans haveten points added to their passing scoreson examinations. A veteran who has beenawarded the Purple Heart for woundsreceived in action is considered to have aservice-connected disability and isthereby entitled to the ten point addition.

In state employment, merit systempreference is granted by adding fivepoints to * veteran's passing score. Tenpoints are added to the passing score of aveteran with a service-connected dis-ability of 10% or more.

Under federal civil service regu-lations, the spouse of a veteran disabledin service and whose disability woulddisqualify the veteran for civil -serviceappointment to jobs along die line ofhis/her usual occupation may apply forveterans' preference whereby ten pointsare added to die spouse's passing scoreon federal ctvQ service examinations,stated Mackall.

The widow or widower of a veteranwho died in military service is entitled toveterans' preference in seeking federalemployment so long as the veteran'smilitary service record who have causedhim to be discharged under conditionsother than dishonorable.

Another provision allows the samecivil service preference to the widowed,divorced or separated mother of a veteranwho died while on active duty in a war, orwho became permanently and totallydisabled due to a service-connecteddisability. The veteran's mother may alsobe entitled to such preference even if hisfattier is still living, provided the father ispermanently and totally disabled.

If you have any questionsregarding the above or any veteranmatter, contact either your local CountyVeteran Service Office, any office of dieVeterans Administration or write Mackallat P.O. Box 1437, St. Petersburg, 33731(including your Veterans AdministrationClaim number, date of birth or serial

die next two years.We learned that, regarding double

sessions, it is anticipated that CaloosaElementary's addition will relieve Ca-loosa and Cape Elementary ̂ Schools fromdouble sessions. However, die relief willnot be for long, as die growth in thoseareas will probably result in these schoolsfunctioning at capacity even after diecompletion of Caloosa.

The new Suncoast ElementarySchool is expected to give relief to dieovercrowded conditions at J. ColinEnglish and Bayshore ElementarySchools. We can expect these schools tooperate at or above capacity even at thecompletion of Suncoast Elementary.

Heights Elementary preliminaryplans were approved and sent to dieDept. of Education on October 16. It isexpected that plan development and stateapproval will be completed by December.This should allow for bidding and lettingcontracts by die first of die year. This willprovide significant relief for TanglewoodElementary and possibly some relief fordie Villas. Although the major relief forthe Villas appears to have to come fromdie building of a new elementary in theSan Carlos area.

The North Fort Myers High Schoolproject is in die preliminary plan state ofdevelopment. Although funds are notavailable for budgeting this project as ofnow, it is a high priority and we anticipatebeginning construction as soon as fundsare available. North Fort Myers HighSchool is currently on double sessions.

There is a need for a new middleschool in the Suncoast area, and planninghas begun on this project, which issignificantly under budgeted. Althoughthis would provide some relief for ourthree middle schools on double sessions,it would not be adequate to relieve diementirely of this condition. There is still aneed for a new middle school in dieBonitaarea.

Final plans have been completedand die contract let for construction of anew elementary school at Alva. Also, inaddition to major renovation there, newmiddle school facilities representingabout 80% of the total middle schoolclassrooms will be constructed. Theelementary replaces an inadequatefacility and die middle school capacitywill be extended to accommodate 500students.

Representative Nuckolls will behappy to personally answer yourquestions pertaining to state matters. Ifyour question is of wide concern, it mayappear in tiiis column. Address yourinquiry to: Representative Paul Nuckolls,P. O. Box 6631, Ft. Myers, FL 33902.

"The most meaningful thingwhich has ever happened to me" - tiiatwas die way one lOdi District high schoolstudent summed up her seven days inWashington as a member of die 1974High School Congressional Intern Pro-gram.

Anotiier young man wrote tiiat dieexperience has prompted him to get moreinvolved -- "involved in more activitiestiian I ever knew existed.''

Thas has been die typical reactionof die nearly 50 youths who have had dieopportunity to visit Washington since Iinaugurated die 10th CongressionalDistrict High School Congressional Internprogram in 1973.

It is a program which has given mea great deal of satisfaction because of dieway these young students have reacted.In fact, many show more interest ingovernment than most adults do.

During their week in Washington,die interns •- one representative from thejunior class at almost every high school indie district - receive what amounts to acrash course in how die federalgovernment works.

They spend hours talking toCongressmen and Senators, sitting in oncommittee meetings and listening to thedebate on die House and Senate floors.

They are briefed by the StateDepartment, talk with representatives offoreign governments, learn first hand thefunctions of die White House and dieexecutive branch, study die SupremeCourt and, hopefully, end up with abetter understanding of how die threebranches of the federal government work.

Every effort is made to expose thestudents to a wide range of politicalphilosophies and to members of bothpolitical parties.

In short, we try to give diestudents a well-rounded, intensive look attheir government, with die hope they willreturn home more encouraged about diestrengths and weaknesses of ourgovernmental system and with dierealization that die practice of govern-ment is a worthwhile profession.

In 1973, die first year of operation,22 students were able to take part in theprogram. Last spring, the numberjumped to 27.

1 Next spring, we'd like to see ajunior from every high school in diedistrict taking part in die weeklongseminars scheduled for March 15-21 andApril 12-18.

But die deadline for applications isfast approaching. Any junior wishing totake part must apply by next Friday,November 15. Applications are availabledirough guidance counselors, govern-ment teachers or principals at everyparticipating high school. If interested,just pick one up, fill it out and submit it.

In each school, die members of diejunior class will vote among themselvesto narrow die number of applicants tofour. These four will be interviewed by alocal screening committee to select die

intern and an alternate.So, if you are a high school junior

interested in government, please applyimmediately; I'm sure you'll find it anenjoyable and rewarding experience. Itisn't all work. There is time to see diemonuments, buildings and museumswhich have made die nation's capital amecca for tourists for many years.

And there is a chance toexperience food from a number ofnations, thanks to Washington's excel-lent selection of restaurants. So it is anexperience you'll remember for a longtime, in addition to learning a great dealabout your federal government.

Any discussion of die lOtiiCongressional District High School InternProgram would be incomplete without atribute to those individuals,,businesses,and civic and fraternal groups whosecontributions have made the programpossible.

The Intern program has been trulya district effort. Banks, savings and loanassociations, small businesses, and largefirms, Kiwanians and Rotarians, veter-ans, realtors and others gave willingly sothese alert, bright young people can havethis rewarding experience.

I am sure die response this yearwill be equally as heartwarming for Iknow of die high regard in which, the 10thCongressional District holds for its youngpeople.

TRAVELHINTSby Wonderfully Wise Wynn Davis

Two spots come to mind in thisimmediate area which are 'must-sees' forvisitors and residents alike. I amreferring to "Edison's Winter Home andBotanical Gardens" in Fort Myers aND"African Safari" in Naples. These twoare within easy driving distances and areenjoyable to both adults and children.

Edison's home, laboratory, andbotanical gardens are preserved just ashe left diem. The finest Edison museumin die world has been added to die estateof America's greatest inventor, and manyof his inventions are on display. Opendaily 9 to 4 and Sunday, 12:30 to 4, tiiisattraction on McGregor Boulevard in FortMyers is well worth seeing. <

Moving further soutii, "AfricanSafari" at Caribbean Gardens presents ataste of lush African jungles. Thisgateway to die Everglades is die home ofdie famous "Tiglions," which are dieoffspring of an African lioness and aBengal tiger. You can ride in comfortamong thousands of flowering trees andamong some of die world's rarestanimals, some of which roam free.Located on U.S. 41 in Naples, AfricanSafari is open daily and Sundays.

Consideration Given tothe Humane Treatment of Animals

: A bill which would eliminate pitfighting in Florida will be reintroducedfor consideration by die 1975 Legislatureaccording to* Sen. Tom Johnson, R-WestPalm Beach, its sponsor.

"It and other cruelty to animalbills which were supposed to have beenpassed by die 1974 Legislature, will befiled for legislative action," he said.Co-sponsor of the bills is. Sen. WarrenHenderson, R-Venice.

The "Pit Bill" would make itunlawful to own or maintain a bird oranimal for die purpose of a fightingexhibition, would prohibit making ormaintaining a pit used for fighting andbaiting, and would provide for confis-

Sen. Johnson said the cruelty toanimals bills were to have been includedin the 1974-passed Criminal Code but"certain legislators found it convenient tooppose diem by devious means and whendie strategy was uncovered, it was toolate to bring the bills out of committees.

"I was amazed then to learn a lotof bleeding hearts for criminals didn't seefit to carry that attitude over to animals,''he said.

The bUl would provide tiiat anylaw enforcement officer who finds birdsor other animals in a pit used for fightingor on die premises where the pit islocated or the fighting exhibition is held,"shall seize the birds or animals and take

A second bill to be considered willbe one that would provide approvedagents and methods of euthanasia withpenalties for violation, and die third billwould provide for appointment of animalhumane councils by boards of countycommissioners, with provisions forcustody, care and disposal of neglectedanimals.

Sen. Johnson said his bills wouldoutlaw the use of live birds instead ofclay, at pigeon shoots; allow lawenforcement and other officers takecustody of animals found being in-humanely treated; and to humanely killinjured, ill or unwanted animals.

USF TO HELP COUNTIESTRAIN WORKING TEACHERS

Three of the 10 Teacher EducationCenters authorized by the recentlegislative session have been establishedin the University of South Florida's12-county area.

USF will receive $80,000 from theBoard of Regents to provide services tothe Centers, in cooperation with thecounty school districts in Sarasota, Polk-County and Lee-Charlotte counties. Thepurpose of the jointly planned effort is toimprove the quality of teaching byoffering non-credit activities on "in-service" days.

Dr. Ray Urbanek will representDean Roger Wilk, College of Education,as the USF contact with the TeacherEducation Centers. Each Center's policycouncil will also have two representativesfrom the college. Participants will beJohn Follman and Dick Puglisi atSarasota; Ray Urbanek and RexToothman at Polk, and Charles Mankerand Roy Mumme at Lee-Charlottecounties.

"The legislature wants to encour-age collaboration among the universities,the teaching profession and the countyschool district in training teachers at alllevels," Dr. Urbanek said. "Last session,in addition to setting up the TeacherEducation Centers, they ear-marked $5per student throughout the state forteacher training."

On a teacher's in-service day inSarasota on Nov. 11, USF will send 13faculty members to participate. Work-shops will be set up in behaviormodification, individualized instruction,classroom testing and other subjects ofhelp to teachers. Each center will sponsorsuch workshops throughout the year.

Dr. Urbanek emphasized that theTeacher Education Centers are countyunits reporting to the counties. Fiftypercent of those participating must beteachers, with other professional edu-cators and lay persons interested ineducation.

"The College of Education feels,as does the legislature, that the numberone priority must be directed toupgrading those teachers already on thejob. That is the chief purpose of theTeacher Education Centers," Dr. Urban-ek said.

DISTRICT BOARD OF TRUSTEESAPPROVES PRELIMINARY DRAWINGS

FOR NEW BUILDING

Edison community College's Dis-trict Board of Trustees, at its Octobermeeting, approved preliminary plans forBuilding "A" according to Dr. David G.Rnhinspn. cqlleee president.

It s going according to schedule,"Robinson said of the planning for thesixth of the 11 buildings in the college'smaster plan. Personnel with the firm ofW. R. Frizzell Architects, Inc., FortMyers, have been working with collegestaff members for several months toassure that the needs of the faculty andstudents in the technical programs will bemet.

The building will be located northof the present Building " B " and its twofloors will house nursing, secretarialscience, computer science, technicalstudies, electronics courses and criminaljustice. Also in the structure will beclassrooms and a roof deck forastronomy, as well as an adjacentfree-standing tower to house a 15-foottelescope. The telescope, a gift to thecollege from former Fort Myers resident,Sam Graff, will be enclosed in a dome forwhich area donors provided $20,000 lastyear.

Construction materials utilized inthe new structure will compliment theexisting buildings, according to thearchitects. Copper will be used to surfacethe observatory tower and the rooftopmechanical tower. Aggregate panels andbrick, matching neighboring buildings,will be used on exterior walls. An elevatorand other facilities will equip thestructure for easy access by physicallyhandicapped students.

Construction is scheduled for1975, and estimated cost of the buildingis $1,000,000, according to Dr..Robinson.

STATE STILL LOSING TREESFROM INSECT INVASIONS

Tree losses from insect invasionsof Florida forests dropped 4 percent fromlast year, but the state still lost 1.8 milliontrees -- enough wood to supply 223,000cords of pulpwood.

The Ips bark beetle, a small,voracious pest that attacks weakenedpines, was the main culprit.

This information was released hithe 18th Annual Survey Report of ForestInsect Activity of Charles W. Chellman,Entomologist, Division of Forestry,Florida Department of Agriculture &Consuer Services. It was obtained byaerial and ground surveys conducted inlate July and early August.

Also to blame, Chellman said,were various types of fungi, galls,cankers or rust which took a high toll ofvaluable young pines in some areas of thestate.

This was true of planted sandpine, when planted off site, particularlyin wet areas. The otherwise hardy sandpines were affected by root rot fungi.

There were no reported outbreaksof either the gypsy moth (a hardwooddefoliator) or the southern pine beetle -•the two most feared insect threats ofsouthern forests.

Mortality in South Florida wasvery light, except in areas swept bywildfires during the dry spring.

Insect infestations in forests mostoften flare up where trees have sufferedfrom stresses, such as wildfire, lightningand windstorm damage.

"Most heavily hit by infestationswas the north central area of the state,"Chellman said. Detailed aerial surveysshowed the only hike in tree losses to bethe 13 counties between Libery, Gadsdenand Franklin Counties and ColumbiaCounty.

The Division of Forestry maintainsa tight surveillance against the gypsymoth and southern pine beetle (Dendroc-tanus frontalis).

"In instances in which severeoutbreaks are reported, county forestersare alerted so that they may adviselandowners on necessary controls and

FLORIDA STARS WITH TREES

To those who think of Florida ashaving no change of season, foresters ofthe Division of Forestry, FloridaDepartment of Agriculture and ConsumerServices, recommend a fall trip to thebanks of the Apalaxchicola or ChipolaRivers in northwest Florida.

Since the original longleaf pineforests of the state were cut by earlyloggers, more than 2.5 billion pineseedlings have been planted in theSunshine State. So have many hardwoodssuch as the honored live oak and themagnolia grandiflora,.

economics to salvage infested trees. Theyshould be utilized by mills as rapidly aspossible.

In stands which are overstocked orunhealthy, trees are especially sus-ceptible to entry by beetles.

Danger to young pine trees comemainly from fusiform rust, sometimesknown as cronartium. Mortality from thiscause was noted in several treeplantations checked in the survey. Treeshaving this condition usually die betweenthe fourth and eighth year after planting.

Of forest management practices, itwas noted that a cause of anosus root rotin a number of pine stands was winterthinning. This was mainly the case forslash pine grown on sandy soils, whichmight have been better suited to growinglongleaf or sand pine.

been contested. It recognizes thecounty's tremendous reforestationefforts. Taylor County has planted 150million seedlings since 1928 and leads thestate in total timber harvested each yearas well as in the volume- of standingtimber: nearly 1 billion board feet!

For many reasons, Florida de-serves its ranking as a forest capital state.

Commercial forests stimulated a$1.7 billion income this year andrepresent the state's second largestindustry.

Florida plants more trees than anyother state annually. The number ofyoung seedlings planted soared to as highas 150 million trees in the Soil BankYears, is predicted to rise even higher inthe next few decades.

Often called the state where the"trees of America meet" both coldweather and tropical trees find theirrange here. The state grows 314 speciesof trees — more than any other state, halfas many as grow in all North Americaabove Mexico.

Florida, with 95 national championtrees (or largest trees of their species) hasmore "big trees" than any other stateexcept Hawaii. The trees were registeredchampions by the American ForestryAssociation.

So, when someone suggests a tourof New England's fall tree colors,remember there's much to be seen ofFlorida's woodlands, too.
