VOLUME 14 NUMBER 46 PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY NOVEMBER 14, 1974 Incorporation now a fact; city council candidates named By Richard Arthurs In the wake of the November 5 vote to incorporate the island of Sanibel, the community has been hurled headlong into a flurry of activity. The election, which resulted in 63.6 percent of the electorate voting for incorporation and an amazing 84.6 percent of the registered voters turning out, brought an end to the impassioned controversy which has divided the island for more than a year now. All that remains to be done is to create an efficient municipal government capable of dealing "with the island's opposing elements under the current ''strained" economic conditions: no paltry task, to be sure. The first action taken by the newly incorporated citizens of Sanibel arose out of a special meeting of all community organizations, open to the public of course, last Wednesday morning at the Sanibel Community House. Spirits ran high on the dawn of an incorporated Sanibel that morning. This reporter chanced to overhear one individual .greeting a friend with, "This is the brightest morning in ten years on Sanibel." Such feelings of exaltation were soon to give way to those of industriousness when Vernon Mac Kenzie, president of the Planning Board, called the meeting to order. Also at the speaker's table were Ann Winterbqtham, representing the Conservation Found- ation, Charles Holland, representing the Chamber of Commerce, Zee Butler, representing Sanibel Tomorrow, and Dr. John Willard, representing the Sanibel Community Association. Mr. Mac Kenzie's opening statements to the crowd of 75 or more people gathered at the Community House stressed the need for unity and the establishment of an orderly arrangement for nominating the new city officials. He also warned islanders of the possibility of "dirty tricks" in the upcoming election, with respect to the ease with which a man can be qualified as a candidate. The upshot of the meeting was that a committee of ten was chosen, whose job it was to decide upon a slate of ten candidates to run for the city's five council seats and to draft a platform for the candidates to run upon. Each organization, selected two of its members to serve upon this committee. Thus, the committee was comprised of Robert Haynie (with Mrs. Ingalls Simmons substituting temporarily in his absence) and Richard Workman of the Conser- vation Foundation, William Kimbell and Anina Hills of Sanibel Tomorrow, Dave Holzman and Bob Parcells of the Chamber of Commerce, George Tenny and Malcolm Beattie of the Planning Board, and Sherry Vartdal and Bob Potts of the Community Association. The committee presented its report to a full house at the Sanibel Community Center last Friday night at 7:30 p.m. Vernon MacKenzie presided over the meeting once again and opened the session by passing along three pertinent bits of information to the public.

Isley, Jr., MD, Fort Myers,at the Association's quarterly meetingThursday evening. The award waspresented"'for improving the quality oflife by working for cleaner air.", -•;.:.

It was Dr. Isley who organized andprovided leadership for. the CAAP(Citizen Action Against Pollution) groupthrough which Lee Countians were madeaware of local sources of air and waterpollution and of the action they could taketoward their elimination. The group,organized in early 1970, identifiedspecific sources of pollution, setpriorities, and worked systematically fortheir elimination. Expediting the replace-ment of two open burning dumps withsanitary landfills was a result of CAAPactivity. CAAP also was instrumental ininfluencing the direction of statewidedean air efforts. ,

Two others earning the 'Clean AirAward' but who could not be present toreceive it were Mr. Vernon MacKenzie ofSanibel, and Mrs. Josephine Dorn of FortMyers. Both were active in the CAAPgroup and also Association represent-atives at public hearings on thedevelopment and implementation ofFlorida's open burning regulation andClean Air Plan. • _ .-

About U. S. Savings Bonds

The Treasury has, from time totime, received suggestions that it providespecial saving bonds for use as gifts. Thesuggestions range from a speciallydesigned "Gift Bond" format to inclusionof "From. . . T o . . . " lines on the face ofthe bond.

While there is some merit to thesuggestions, the disadvantages areconsidered as outweighing the advan-tages. For example, the appearance of aname on a Savings Bond carries with itcertain federal income-tax liability. Thepurchaser of a bond for gift purposesincurs no income-tax liability himself -- solong as his name does not appear on thebond as co-owner. Technically, his nameappearing on the bond as a donor wouldnot make him liable, but could lead toconfusion as to tax status.

Another factor is the expenseinvolved in producing and maintainingstocks of such bonds.

Accordingly, the Savings BondsDivision has designed several attractiveall-purpose gift envelopes, which contain"From . . . To . . . " lines. Purchasers ofsavings bonds for gifts may obtain theenvelopes, free, from banks and otherissuing agents.

SELECTING ADAPTEDINDOOR PLANTS

Florida is a land of sunshine andoutdoor living says Florida Nurserymenand Growers Association (FNGA). Thereare many people who do not have homesand grounds to maintain. Apartmentsand condominiums are becoming the wayof life. This type of living can become dulland placid without the use of plants toenhance the interior decorum.

Many people living in condomin-iums and apartments have taken the easyway out buying plastic plants. These for atime may suffice for the desire, butultimately plastic becomes a monotonousand dull object. The leaves become dirtycatching the dust and always remain thesame after cleaning. For this reason andmany more, Hie FNGA suggests that youselect a few well adapted indoor plants.There are many from which you canchoose, palms, vines, ferns, and smalltrees. Let's look at a number of plantssuitable for the interior of apartments,condominiums, and even homes. Cham-aedorea palms are excellent for the home.There are several varieties carried by thenurserymen so your selection should beeasy. Raphis palms and Areca palms areboth acceptable as interior plants. Smalltrees can be an asset for the interior ofthe home. One of the best and probablyused the most extensively is FicusBenjamina, variety Exotica. This has aweeping habit and can withstand theadverse conditions of air conditioning andsubdued light. Two other species of Ficusfind themselves a place indoors, FicusDecora and Ficus Lyrata (pandurata).

For delicate, lacey foliage andinteresting trunks, Dracaena marginata isunsurpassed. It can provide the affect ofelegance when small or large.

Foliage plants should not beoverlooked when it comes to houseplants, the Chinese evergreen isprobably one of the hariest and can existunder the most severe conditions. Thevarieties are many. Ferns have come intotheir own and make excellent hangingbaskets, or focal points on an antiquestand. Asparagus sprengeri forms aweeping fall over the edge of the pot thatis unsurpassed in beauty. Use indoorplants' says Floiiui Nurserymen andGrowers Association to bring outdoorliving inside.

A Different Sort of Journey[Continued]

By Raft Hunter

Chow dogs come from the Islandof Cheung Chau where many of themabound, mostly in barbershops, but theChinese do not eat them any more,though in some parts of the world hungrypeople still do. Before we took the ferry tothis island eight or nine miles west ofHong Kong, I noticed a dog with a cis- r»nhis broken leg, offered to au.jgraph it,which pleased the owner. On secondthought I decided it best not to, for saiddog might decide my pen was a doctor'sinstrument and I could have a bite I'dremember.

Perhaps because of the time of daywe selected, wherever we went peoplewere eating all sorts of strange stuff thatwe in this country would throw away suchas chickens' insides, pigs' snouts. Everyturn of a corner at Cheung Chau a cagewent by with a pig in it. As I looked at thepigs ears and feet, etc. on sale at littlestands I wondered who got the porkchops.

Lantau Island, which is reached bya marvelous air conditioned ferry, isnamed for the two-part peak thatdominates the island and Ian tau meansbroken head. Many Chinese here live onjunks and the 'lady-of-the-house' musthave a hard time of it when- the tide goesout since the junk leans way over on thebeach. Buying shells and fans helps thesehard working cheerful people. Theirshelters look like spook houses in anamusement park, small and dark likeLangley Collier's rabbit path — of oldnewspapers. They are Hoklp people andlive much as their ancestors did exceptthat they have settled* ashore while theirforbears were boat dwellers. No oneseemed sorry for himself even thoughthey were so poor. But one little girl ofabout twelve handling a big ash can forsome reason or other looked at me sointently, I was uncomfortable because Iwas fairly tidy and she was so ragged.

Back in Hong Kong I asked aboutthe distribution to Lantau Island ofclothes we had collected aboard ship forProject Concern. I wished I could put myarms around that little girl and take herhome. All the Chinese children werepolite and respectful. The fathers are sodevoted to their sons and daughters, whoin turn are thoughtful and kind. Iquestioned a Chinese father about whythis was. "Well," he said, "we teachthem to honor their father and motherand never to tell a lie."

A group of Chinese children inHong Kong have started the Joyfulvanoiiard Movement to help theiribrothers and sisters in Africa. They sangsongs for us, specially, since we weremuch interested in their cause. They

. were making plans for a little bazaar. Ifanyone would like to help them in theirprojects to help out in Africa, they may bereached at 17 Conhought Rd., HongKong, the Centre Building.

We decided to have a caligrapherput our names in Chinese on our new redluggage we bought, and gave the job tothe oldest looking Chinese at a little stall.With his brushes and ink and banners, itcreated quite a stir as people went by - wehad to wait for the black Chinese lettersto dry. He did a good job for us as welugged them into International House.Our little elevator boy said, "Ah, Lufu!"Lufu is Ruth in Chinese.

Happy Valley can be reached by abus. The name sounded intriguing so wetook one and sat on the upper deck. Thisis really a wonderful way to see Hong

Kong. My eye caught a poster to tell thatCharlie Chaplin was playing in "CityLights." We shouted to get off and didbut Charlie was at a theater a taxi rideaway. This was an advertisement over abanque margue. The manager was verynice. He patiently wrote a note in Chinesefor our taxi driver and we spent theafternoon watching a very funny picturewith Chinese subtitles. The trailers forthe coming pictures were on too. Chineseactors never have kissing love scenes. AChinese explained they kiss behind thedoor. The movie theater manager wasvery interested in our Pirate Playhouseand gave us a poster of Charlie in Citylights but visitors to Pirate Alley loungrthis season will have a hard time readingit for it's in Chinese.

At the Folk Concert that night nextdoor, the Chinese girls and boys gave ussome of the raisin bread they werepassing around to eat. Father Canavancalled for us the next day and drove us tothe Chinese border in the new territories.After the crowded city of Hong Kong themountains were peaceful and quiet. Youlook through .telescopes to Red China —only it isn't red but a beautiful green andthere are lakes and rivers and it looksfascinating. Old Cinese men and womenare standing here and there and for asmall sum you can take their pictures intheir quaint Chinese garb. There werethings to buy and I came home with abeautiful little Chinese hat. It has birdsand flowers on it. I wondered where Iwould pack it aboard ship. I went to sleepafter a long delightful look at the redChinese sky and the mountains and LionRock and the Star Ferries. Before wesailed on the S. S. Universe next day,Father Marazi came with three orphansand a present for us from his orphanage.Six girls from Joyful Vanguard came outon a tender to the ship as well to bidgoodbye with a sweet letter, "To OurAmerican Friends."

Our Chinese friends at Inter-national House had said, "Come backagain," and as our spic and span ship

sailed out of Hong Kong, I vowed wewould for in all the world one does netfind a more gentle and unselfish peoplethan the Chinese.

"R" You Hungry For Oysters?The season in Florida is open and those plump fresh

oysters are on the market. Contrary to the myth, oysters "R"good year 'round. However, the Florida harvesting season isclosed on oysters from May until September. This helps toconserve the specie and allow the young to grow. Not only areoysters delicious, but are also nutritiously high in protein,vitamins and minerals. An average serving of 6 oysterssupplies more iron than the daily adult requirement. Ifyou're hungry for oysters, here's a nutritiously delicious,tempting recipe:

SUWANNEE SOUND OYSTER PIE2 cans (16 oz. each) fresh or frozen oysters6 slices bacon, dicedyk cup thinly sliced celery% cup finely chopped onions ,.1 package (10 oz.) frozen peas and carrots, partially thawedand broken apart% cup flourv/z teaspoons salt>£ teaspoon pepper2 cups milk1 cup diced (% inch) cooked potatoesV4 cup diced pimiento2 cups prepared bixcuit mix1 tablespoon melted butter, margarine or cooking oil

Cook celery and onion slowly inreserved drippings until celery is tender. Stir in peas andcarrots; heat. Blend in flour and seasonings. Gradually stirin Vk cups milk and reserved oyster liquor. Cook until thick,stirring constantly. Fold in potatoes, pimiento, oysters, andbacon; heat. Pour into shallow 2-quart baking dish, 12x8x2inches. Combine biscuit mix and remaining xk cup milk; stirwith fork to form a soft dough. Turn onto lightly flouredboard; knead lightly 8 to 10 times. Roll into a rectangles x 12.inches or the size of the top of the baking dish. Cut into 12equal portions. Arrange biscuits on oyster mixture; brushtops with melted butter, margarine, or oil.

A Grain Of Sea Saltby betzi abram

All sailors must know Murphy's .Law, which is that if anything can gowrong, it will. I have now come up withAbram's corollary- if you've thought up10 ways to win, it doesn't matter if 9 ofthem go wrong!

Since I am becoming a great expert onhow-to-en joy-sailing-in-spite-of

Murphy's:Law, I thought it might behelpful for you all to know ten f ways toentertain yourself (and possibly others)for several hours while waiting on thedock for your charter boat to get off thesand bar on which it ran aground whileproceeding before dawn to the marina.1) You can call the Coast Guard and ask

if they know what happened. They willgive you much_more information thanyou can assimilate so early in themorning, including tide differentialsbetween North Fort Myers and BonitaSprings. If you know exactly where theboat went aground, this may be helpful.If the boat sank, the CG will probablynot tell you until the next of kin havebeen notified (so you better bring a tentfor overnight camping.)2) You can repair to the nearest bar for

moral support- or if it's Sunday morning,you will have to hike to the nearest 7-11.Some all night or early-morningestablishments will serve you coffee.3) Speaking of Sunday, singing hymns isgood for the nerves. If it's a weekday,you can settle for'old-time favorites like"Let Me call you Sweetheart" or "ThatOld Gang of Mine." It helps if some ofyour fellow charterers join in forharmony. However, at the firstmanifestations of rage from personsliving aboard boats in the area, it isadvisable to switch to soft humming.4) If female, you can flirt with the dock-

master. These virile, suntanned fellowsare every bit as enchanting-, as thecowboys on dude ranches that we usedto see in the movies. However, theymay be too busy to talk for long.' Oh, anddon't mess with the one at Moss Marina.I have my eye on him! If male, you cantalk to the marina owner about business-

qrboats- or both._5) You can read a book.

6) You can.take off most of your clothesand get a suntan. (Providing you haveon something appropriate underneath,of course. Don't get arrested- it delaysthe cruise even further.)

7) You can read a book while getting asuntan. (This takes considerable

. maneuvering, since you need sun on theback and shade on the book but justworking out the problem will take upsome time.)8) You can strike up conversations withstrangers. You meet fascinating peoplethis way...perhaps a nationally known

contractor who is so bored withretirement that he will offer to build youa house at cost; a friendly fishermanwhose fantastically interesting storiesyou can borrow for future reference, orperhaps a wealthy widow who would liketo adopt you.

9) You can hang around the dock crewasking stimulating questions like "Whyis this dock floating and not the others?"or "What makes the fork lift gobackwards?" This may not make youvery popular, but it will add a lot to yourstore of knowledge. (Be careful not tostand in front of the forklift whileasking, or too near the edge of thedocks.)

10) You can introduce yourself to anumber of people living on nearby boatsand tell them you're from the News'Press (or any newspaper but this one.)Ask if they mind being interviewed andthen have at it...or borrow their key tothe marina shower room and go freshenup.

Actually these suggestions are just tostir up your imagination. I'm sure youcan all think of many ways to pass thetime. There's only one thing that is notallowed- in fact, unforgivable- and that'swhen your charter boat finally shows up,to ask the red-faced captain whathappened. Just nonchalantly get onboard and sail away. After all, that'swhat's important.

FALL FISHING IS FANTASTIC

Cool breezes in the morning and anip in the air generally signal theintroduction of another hunting season toFlorida sportsmen, but don't forget thoseequally cool waters trigger an increase infishing activity throughout the SunshineState.

North Florida fishermen find thedeeper lakes are providing moreshoreline fishing for the light tackle andfly rod angler, as lower watertemperatures bring more of the biggerfish to the shallows in their search forfood.

Central Florida anglers find thetouch of fall often brings big bass to thesurface for top water lure action, and thebetter known lakes of the KissimmeeChain produce some of the largest fish ofthe year.

Further south, Lake Okeechobeefishermen prepare for the annualinvasion of the speckled perch, livev

Missouri minnows fished at the five-footlevel regularly produce limit strings ofthe slab-sided panfish.

The hunting seasons are openingand the woods and fields beckon,, butdon't forget the draw of the waters asFlorida fishing reaches its peak state-wide.

KORESHAN STATE PARKREOPENED TO CAMPING

To coincide with the start ofFlorida's winter season and expectedinflux of visitors, camping spaces closedat four south Florida sfate parks havereopened to the public November 15,Harmon Shields, executive director of theDepartment of Natural Resources,reported today.

Shields said facilities at HighlandsHammock State Park near Sebring,Myakka River State Park near Sarasota,Collier-Seminole State Park near Naplesand Koreshan State Recreation area atEstero are now open.

Gosing half,of the camping areasat the parks was done earlier this year asan economy measure to cut operationcosts which rose after the Federal FairLabor Standards Act went into effect,Shields explained. "But with theincreased demand of campers for sitesduring this season, we feel reopening thesites is necessary."

Shields said only the campingfacilities, at Hontoon Island State Parknear Deland will remain closed.

HENS WILL NOW BE LEGAL GAME

Turkey hunters who are experts atbagging only gobblers on Lykes Brothers'Fisheating Creek Wildlife ManagementArea will have it easier this season,according to Regional Game Biologist,Frank Montalbano of the Game and FreshWater Fish Commission.

Over past seasons turkey popu-lations in Fisheating Creek haveundergone intense studies regardinghunting pressure, nesting and broodrearing requirements, limiting hunters toonly the bearded male, or gobbler.

This season, Montalbano said,both gobblers and hens will be legalgame, enhancing the sportsmen's bag.

According to Montalbano, turkeysare prevalent in the area and should offersportsmen a good season.

Montalbano reminded hunters aspecial permit is required for FisheatingCreek, which is good for only that area.

Bag limits on turkey this year areone per day, two possession and two perseason.

DEER BOOK AVAILABLE

The key to successful hunting isoften measured by persistence andknowledge of wildlife. The Game andFresh Water Fish Commission cannothelp a sportsman become persistent butthe state wildlife agency can aid in thearea of improving the knowledge andunderstanding of wildlife.

Dr. O. E. Frye, Commission.director, said, "Serious deer hunters andstudents of wildlife should have a copy ofthe 240-page book "The Whitetailed Deerin Florida' in their reference library."

He added, "There are no deerhunting stories in the book and thechapters are concerned with subjectssuch as food habits, diseases andparasites, range and physical character-istics, and deer herd dynamics ' '

The book was authored by R. F.Harlow and F. K. Jones, former wildlifebiologists with the Commission and,while the text is the result of extensivebiological research, the copy is presentedin a manner that is both informative andeasy to read.

Single copies of the book may beobtained by writing Game and FreshWater Fish Commission, Information andEducation Division, Tallahassee, FL32304.

Island Square Dance Startsby Richard Arthurs

The Grand MarchGrab your partners and hold on

tight, neighbors, because Western stylesquare dancing has come to the Islands.Yes indeed, what with the swishing skirtsof the ladies as they make their gracefulcurtsies, the chivalrous bows of thegentlemen, the spritely strains of thefiddle and the jocund, staccato limericksof the caller, the simple delights ofsquare dancing are truly hard to resist.

So much so, in fact, that this livelytraditional folk dance drew an exuberantcrowd of almost fifty high-steppers to theSanibel Community House on the night ofNovember 3 for the first in a series ofweekly square dances sponsored by theIsland Square Dance Club. The Gub •meets every Sunday night at 7 p.m. tobring a bit of life to the SanibelCommunity House with their energeticstomping and twirling.

The month of November is to bedevoted to introducing novices to thesteps, etiquette, and intricacies of the art.Skilled and creative renditions of thedance will be the province of the monthsto come. At the first meeting, theparticipants were tutored in the rudi-ments of square dancing — one step at atime, as it were.

Mind you, square dancing is not aseasy as it looks. Before one can executethe involved progressions of stepssmoothly, rhythmically, and in unisonwith the other dancers, one must firstmaster the individual basic steps.Instructors Larry and Dorothy Butzlaffand Art and Peg Hacking were on hand toguide beginners through the basicconfigurations of the dance: thedos-a-dos, the promenade, the grandright and left, the grand march, and theallemand, to name but a few.

Larry Butzlaff has been calling foreight years and Art Hacking is a veterancaller with twenty-two years of exper-ience under his belt. Mishaps such ascollisions and crushed toes wereinfrequent to the point of nonexistencealmost, and by the time the second restperiod rolled around, amateurs andexperts alike were sashaying about quiteadmirably. The glowing smile on ArtHacking's face bespoke his pleasure atthe rapid progress which the newcomers

were making.Among the dancers present at the

first session were Mr. & Mrs. JimPickens, Sr., Mr. & Mrs. Harley Woods,Mr. & Mrs. Dan Moore, Mr. & Mrs.Homer Ristow, Mr. & Mrs. TrumanWilson, Mr. & Mrs. E. L. McClintok, Mr.& Mrs. Harvey Gigstad, Mr. & Mrs.Allen Nave, Mr. & Mrs. Bob Dugger, Mr.Stan Loomis, Mr. & Mrs. Philip Hunter,Mr. & Mrs. Don Nusbaum, Mr. & Mrs.Bill Morton, Mr. & Mrs. Philip Atwood,Mr. & Mrs. Paul E. Adams, Mr. & Mrs.Howard Hulsman, Mr. & Mrs. Henry

Can, Mr. & Mrs. Bill Moore, Milena M.Eskew, Charles Frederick, and Mary JoMorse.

As the evening progressed thedancers waxed boisterous and jubilant,their movements becoming lithe andnatural, thoroughly enjoying their com-mon exertion. Of course, the public iswarmly invited to participate in theClub's weekly sessions. Beginners areurged to attend the November meetings,which are intended primarily for then-edification, so that the more proficient,dancers can progress to less-restrained

stepping in the months to come.To make a long story short, a good

time was had by all. Personally, I had. a. wonderful time just watching those whoare more nimble than myself. Allow me toapologize at this time for declining themany invitations I received to join in the"fun. I merely wished to spare myself theembarrassment of exposing my peculiargruesome deformity to the public eye.You see, I am afflicted with two left feet,a congenital abnormality. But I thank youkindly for the offers.

Dear Representative Nuckolls,Are there any hopes of additional

Inflation already has the retiredpeople against a wall, and my tax bill justarrived. Even with the additionalexemption, it's still going up.

SAVINGS BOND SALES INCREASE

September sales of Series E and HUnited States Savings Bonds in Floridawere $11.4 million -- up $748,260 overSeptember 1973.

Third quarter Savings Bonds salesin Florida totaled $35.9 million -- up $4.6million over the same three months lastyear.

Florida attained 77.3% of its 1974sales goal September 30 with yearly salesof $114 million -- a3.1% increase over thefirst three quarters of last year.

upcoming legislative session, to protectelderly homeowners from the rising tideof ad valorem taxation.

The effect of this legislation, ifadopted, would be to set a maximumlevel of ad valorem taxation. Forexample, when a person reaches age 65and owns homestead property, thecertified millage rate and valuation atthat time will be the maximum millagerate and valuation that can be used tocompute ad valorem taxes for as long ashe or she remains the owner of suchhomestead property.

This will also affect persons 65 orolder who purchase homestead property.The homestead property valuation andmillage rate at the time of purchasewould be the maximum basis for taxationas long as he remains the owner of thehomestead property.

The purpose of this proposal is toallow persons who are retired to plantheir retirment income and expenditureswithout having the burden of increasedad valorem taxation on their property.This proposal would insure that increasedtaxes would not; be responsible for suchpersons inability to maintain a place tolive during their retirment years.

Is fear the only way to winobedience to a law which everyonerecognizes as being worthwhile?

That's the question being, askedabout the controversial OccupationalSafety and Health Administration.

The OSHA act of 1971 wasdesigned to "assure as far as possibleevery working man and woman in the

HELP GIVEN DISABLED VETERANSWHEN PURCHASING HOMES

W. B. Mackall, director ofFlorida's Division of Veterans Affairs,says disabled veterans of wartime/peace-time service, may be entitled undercertain conditions to receive grants fromthe Veterans Administration for thepurchase of homes that are speciallymodified and adopted to their particularneeds. Such homes are referred to as"wheelchair homes." In order to qualifyfor this a veteran's physical impairmentmust entitle him to compensation forpermanent and total disability as a resultof a service-connected disability incurredduring wartime/peacetime service afterApril 20,1898.

Mackall stated, eligible veteransmay receive a Veterans Administrationgrant of not more than .50% of the cost oftheir homes up to a maximum of $17,500.This grant may be used to pay part of thecost of building or buying such homes orto remodel existing dwellings for theirparticular requirements. The grant alsomay be used to pay off the indebtednessof such homes already acquired.

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

There are many waystojohetheproblems of the world.

nation safe and healthful workingconditions," a goal with which no one inthe nation can find fault.

The problem lies not in the goal,but in the way the goal is being reached.

The emphasis is on penalties, noton education, training and voluntarycompliance.

That is obvious from looking at abreakdown of the OSHA budget for thepast three years. In fiscal 1972, the firstyear of OSHA operations, the agencyspent 45.2 percent of its $35 millionappropriation on enforcement and only6.3 percent on training, education andinformation.

In the two succeeding years, withbudgets nearly twice as large, thepercentage spent on enforcementdropped to 35, but so did the percentagespent on education and training. Itdropped to 5 percent.

The contrast is even more strikingwhen shown in dollars. In fiscal 1972,OSHA spent $164 million of-its $35.8

. million on enforcement and only $2.2million on training and education. Infiscal 1974, the budget for enforcementhad jumped to $24.4 million out of a totalbudget of $69.8 million, while training,education and information received ameasly $3.4 million.

OSHA admits that it is relyingalmost solely on punishment to get thejob done.

In fact, one OSHA officialadmitted publicly that every employer inthe nation must be made to realize that heis subject to fines anytime an inspectorpops in and finds a safety violation,regardless of how insignificant. And,every employer must also realize that heis subject to additional fines if theviolation isn't corrected within a matter ofdays, regardless of the cost involved orthe disruption to production.

Even more disrupting is the factthat OSHA need not offer any assistanceof guidance in overcoming the violation.It's just "Here's the problem; this is thefine. And if it's not corrected quickly,you'll be fined again."

That's no way to bring abouthealthier and safer working conditions,particularly in small businesses whichneed help in both understanding theextremely technical OSHA regulationsand in correcting cited deficiencies.

It was for this reason, the Housevoted to exempt small businesses, thosewith fewer than 25 employees, from thelaw. Unfortunately, the Senate refused toaccept this amendment. So, OSHAcontinues its policy of using fear to obtainresults. Unfortunately, it is a policy whichcan only be labeled self-defeating.

There are millions of businesses inthis nation, and only 2,000 OSHAinspectors. Since it takes about eighthours to conduct the average inspection,

1 the odds are that only three out of every• 100 businesses will be inspected each

year.And, if fear is made the only

reason why businesses should conform tothe OSHA regulations, there is no realincentive for a firm to take anyaffirmative action because the odds areagainst his being inspected.

If OSHA wants to continue thisridiculous posture of using pure fear, itwill need some 66,000 inspectors,jumping its enforcement budget from thecurrent $24 million level to a budget-bursting $821 million.

No, if we are to achieve the goal ofassuring working men and wome.n of asafe and healthful place to work, theemphasis must be placed on voluntarycompliance, on helping businesses tomake their operations safer andhealthier.

Hopefully, Congress will soon takeI corrective action and get fear out of the

federal campaign for safe workingconditions.
