MarketIng And DInIng The advent of Publix on the local scene has me

frustrated, upset and confused. It is not that that mental state is new with me but it is compounded by yet another marketing place.

You see, Joe Snow, proprietor of the G & S Super­market is a very good friend. Some years ago we played a not-so·friendly game of poker weekly together with some other local businessmen. Poker has to be unfrien­dly for the simple reason that bluffing one's opponent is at times essential to winning. Joe was a very trusting in­dividual and frequently served as my banker for cash wJ:tenever other sources were unavailable. There was never a time that Joe failed to come to my rescue. Therefore, I am beholden to Joe. I have an obligation to market at the G & S.

And so, too, do I feel that same obligation to market at Morton's in downtown Sarasota. I can't remember when I first met Ted Morton but sooner or later everyone gets to meet Ted. He is of a

Cert.,.. "Golden Oldl .... Dear Sir:

I see by the papers that Jimmy Carter plans to write his memoirs. Ever alert to (he need for accurate history, I herewith submit my notes on the past four years. This will not only help Jimmy along but will justify the ac­tion of the people who threw him out.

Back in October of 1976, his campaign rhetoric in­cluded calling President Ford a "brain-washed liar," "a disgrace to the nation" and "absolutely ridiculous." Once inaugurated and grasping for the common touch, he had his Cabinet don blue jeans for one meeting, wore a sweater for his TV Fireside Chat, and sent his daughter to a public school for long enough to stand alongside a black fellow-student as the cameras clicked, then enrolled her in a private school. As 1977 progressed, he nominated a conscientious objector as head of the CIA.

Andrew Young. Carter's very good friend, called Nixon and Ford "racists." and accused Henry Kissinger of flagrant ignorance regarding racism - an interesting charge since Henry is a Jew who grew up in Hitler's Germany.

Burt Lance managed to carry banking practice into further disrepute. And Jody P.owell, in a defense of Lance. leaked a report that Illinois Senator Charles Per­cy had regularly used planes owned by Bell & Howell much as Lance had used planes of National Bank of Georgia. B & H apparently didn't own any planes, however, and Jody apologized -later.

While in England for an economic summit, Carter asked the Westminster Abbey archdeacon to com­memorate in their Poees Corner Jimmy's favorite poet, Dylan Thomas. a lyrical Welsh. The request got an em­barrassed silence, even though Jimmy promised to "pray for his soul if you'll just immortalize him."

Carter's urging of his "human rights" theories on Russia caused Secretary of State Cyrus Vance to get frostbite from Brezhnev's greeting in Moscow. Later, when Vance tried to talk arms limitation. Brez respon­ded negatively with a Russian expression roughly tran­slated as "so long, sucker." and left the room.

As 1977 ended, the White House returned to Com­munist Hungary the Crown of S1. Stephen. an ancient symbol of Hungarian nationhood. There were rebukes from many persons, including George Meany. And An-dy Young had enlarged his list of "racists" to include

Stone & Mead add, "In the current situation, we have never seen a more powerful market advance against such overwhelming skepticism and disbelief. "

One of the best measures of the skepticism is the fact that the cash position of the institutions - Joe Granville's "bagholders" - is near record levels despite the fact that the Dow Jones Industrial Average has advanced more than 120 points from its March low and

LBKPD Commended Dear Editor:

I would like to relate a recent experience that has made me proud to be a resident of Longboat Key.

It was apprOximately ten o'clock in the evening when a uniformed Longboat Key police officer entered the restaurant, which I manage, on the north end of the ·Island. He asked if he might have a word with me. There had been a dog hit by an auto close to my residen­ce that fit the description of my dog, Tattoo. I followed the police officer to the scene of the accident. The dog was not Tattoo, but a neighbor's dog that closely resembled' him. The animal was being attended by another policeman and two men belonging to the Longboat Key Rescue Squad. They had bandaged the dog and were making him as comfortable as possible. His owners had been notified by the police and were on hand also trying to comfort the animal.

In addition to their already helpful actions . the police contacted a local veterinarian and requested that he be at his clinic when the owners arrived with their dog. Th~ dog was carefully lifted onto a piece of plywood, loadea into its owners car and rushed to the veterinarian.

I'm sad to say that the dog did not survive, but driving back to the restaurant, it was comforting to know that every effort had been put forth by the local law enforcement officials and rescue team to save the poor animal. 1 thought, with what they had done for an animal, what more would they do for a human.

At a time when the headlines are filled with stories of chaos and despair it's comforting to know that on a lit­tle island off the west coast of Florida there still remains that special qUality of compassion and sensitivity for both man and beast.

Foremost among the many amenities that Longboat Key has to offer are the sincere services rendered by the police and rescue departments.

That night I fell into a peaceful slumber knowing that all was well on Longboat Key.

"Sut Officer ..... Dear Sir:

Longboat Key

I am writing this letter to serve as a warning to those drivers who are attempting to drive in a law abiding way, for they can be cited simply because they became victims of circumstance!!

One Sunday morning recently, I was driving north along Gulf Of Mexico Drive behind a car which I had been following for about one to one and a half miles. The speed of that car varied from fifteen to thirty miles per. depending on what or where they were looking. Several times I even thought the driver and the car's oc­cupants would actually stop or at least tum off the road at some point.

Finally when a legal passing zone presented itself, I proceeded to pass. After attaining more than past mid­dle, this driver proceeded to suddenly speed up, thus causing me to increase my speed in order to pass ': however, I was still within legal speed limits.

An auto (a police car) came into view, going south ,:­and in all fairness to the officer, he, I didn't believe ... immediately saw me, and on his good insti!lct. braked so violently as to cause himself to skid. E';-"3 hough I was quite a way past, t felt that in deferett- to him, f" should stop my car, pulling off to the side of the road.

The officer, turning around in the road, started his flasher, and proceeded to pull up behind me. He came to our car, and asked for my credentials. as my husband asked him what was wrong. His reply was, " I'U let you know!" Then he walked back to his vehicle, sat a while. an'" ;" al. ................ ; ..... ... ~ " .. ~" I ....... ~ .. _ .. \. ~_I. \. __ ..I_'"

• •••••••• • (ConUnuK from page 1) "No Access, No Sand"

Since the beaches have been eroding, espedally along the south and north ends of the Key (and have been ac· creting in other areas), the BOA has been trying to get the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to dump the sand back where they think it came from . just offshore. The Corps is unable to do this unless the Town provides public access to the beaches. This, the Town has con· sislemly refused to do, so the only way the Corps can legally d~!!lp the sand is when the owners guarantee to pay fOrl ",hemselves and the Town sponsors the project . '.,-:-'/

Erosion Control Line This happened on the north end, a few years ago and

much of the spoil from Longboat Pass was dumped on the north end since the owners there agreed to an d osion Control Line.

LBK Towers Holds Out Just this past week, all the owners on the south end up

to the Colony Beach also agreed to the establishment of an Erosion Control Line with the exception of Longboat Key Towers . All the others went along in· eluding Sands Bay, Arvida, Beaches of Longboat, The Privateer North and South, Ansel and the Players .

Without the LBK Towers going along, perhaps the Corps of Engineers will dump the spoil from New Pass on everyones property but theirs.

Corps Will Go Along In any case, the Town is the sponsor, the Erosion

Control Line has been established on the south end as well, and the Corps of Engineers has said it will go along with dumping much of the spoil from New Pass either on the beaches. or just off shore. The BOA has" said it would be just as happy if the sand were dumped just offshore. .

DNR & Corps Of Engineers At Thursday's meeting at el~ven a.m ., the dumping

of spoil from both passes is sure to be discussed, as is the Erosion Control Line. William Carlton and Deborah Athos of the Bureau of Beaches and Shores of the Department of Natural Resources .will be on hand as will James Garland, Chief of the Engineering Division of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Don't See Eye To Eye It is Ansel's contention that the SS million worth of

property and the SIOO,OOO in cash that he has offered, more than meet the requirements, no matter how it is figured . If the Town does not agree, he says , the deal is ofr.

Most of the Commissioners seem ready to accept this, but Claire Bell and Tac Riter appear to feel that Ansel must come up with some additional property to satisfy the Ordinance requirements. They say that he already has used that property to gain the additional 7S units he wants for his Gulfside property .

Surprise Bombshell Just as it seemed that there was a chance that it would

all be worked out, however . Ansel's attorney. Mike Furen , int roduced a new element. The dedicated land, he maintained. should also cover the 20 acres of ad· ditional bayside land owned by Ansel for which no plans have been announced.

This bombshell put the negotiations into a tailspin. It was the first time that the additional 20 acres had been mentioned . In fact, according to Town Planner Jack Whelan, those 20 acres previously had been specifically excluded .

Muddying Waters The Commissioners were unanimous and adamant

that the additional 20 acres had no part in these negotiations . Since Ansel wasn't present. Attorney Furen said he would get in touch with him and have some kind of a statement fo r them at the Wednesday night special meeting of the Commission.

"It is muddying the waters," declared Commissioner Sam Seegel, and the others agreed.

Tlmo Limit? The other hang-up in the negotiations with Ansel is

that Ansel wants a guarantee from the To wn that he can build the promised number of units on his Gulfside land, no matter how many years it may take to do it and no matter who the owner may be. He is afraid that some futu re laws will be passed that might nullify the agreement .

The Town , on the other hand, doesn't want to be "handcuffed." as Sam Seegel put it . Unti l the whole thing is underway, the Town will not feel free to use the traded land, and if the developer to whom Ansel sells

Both matters will be on the Wednesday night agenda.

New Ordinances Approved Several new Town ordinances were discussed . One

was rescinded and the others were approved , subject to the final vote at the Wednesday night meeting.

Withdrawn was an ordinance proposed by AI Lewin that would have put a definite closing time on all businesses on the Key.

Approved were ordinances required the filing of ~r· tain condominium documents before a certi ficate of oc· cupancy is granted; one requiring liability insurance before a temporary certificate of occupancy is granted; one establishing firelanes in the Bay Isles shopping cen· ter; one prohibiting topless entertainment or other types of exposure in establishments selling alcoholic bev· erages; and one setting up a Code En forcement Board to deal with the violation of local ordinances and giving the Town the right to levy fi nes and liens fo r such violations.

Commissioners to ask abO ut the disposition of the remaining land in Binnacle Point. This land. he said, is incl uded in the lands marked b y the Town fo r acquisition .

Visiting German Newsmen Give Their Impression

By Belty Blair

"What are you going to tell them when you get back home?" we asked the visiting German newsmen and travel writers who were on Longboat on a whirlwind tour of Florida's west coast last week, hosted locally by the Sarasota Chamber of Commerce.

Gunther Trager, the public relations man in charge of the triP. answered as one woufd expect a p.r . man to answer. " About your great beaches, the wonderful sun· shine, the warm weather and the inexpensive prices!" he raved.

"Too Much Salad!"

Otto, the bearded radio newsman, had a different answer. In halting, obviously diffir;ult English he replied, "The way you eat. "

"And how is that?" we continued . " Too much salad!" he exclaimed, rolling his eyes. Not sure that we had understood him, we asked

again. "Did you say 'Too much salad'?" "Too much of everything, but mostly , too much

sa1ad!" he replied again, confirming the stereotype we have always had of Germans as being "meat and potato" men.

Many Problems

Heinz, an executive of Europe's largest newspaper, had yet another. more thoughtful answer. In easy, almost faultless English he said he would be telling the people about the problems they will have to face when they get here.

" In Europe, when people go on vacation, someone takes care of everything for them. They take their lug­gage to the airport and that is the last they have to think about it until it arrives in their room at their hotel. Here, they have to do it all themselves."

" Organization Or Regimentation?"

" In Europe, when they get to their destination, everything is planned for them. It is all organized, -.where they will go, what they will see. But here, they are on their own. This will be very hard for them."

We explained that Americans feel that they are organized enough in their daily work routine, and that, when they are on vacation, they want to do just what they please, whenever they feel like it. So, unless one is on a guided tour, he won't find much "organization."

Language Bamar Another problem, Heinz noted, is "that no one here

speaks German, so the visitors have a very hard time making themselves understood.

THE LONGBOAT OBSERVER

Can't Get Acquainted Almost wistfully, Heinz added one more "problem."

.. The German visitors will have no way of getting to know the American people, -- to find out what they are like and how they ilve and what they think.

" This is a var;ation area. and most of the people here are on holiday. There is no way fo r us to really get to know any Americans."

Beautiful People The German journalists and their wives, all looking

much younger than their American counterparts, were a handsome group. They came into the Hilton lounge looking as if they were right out of the pages of a travel folder . With one exception: the men were wearing dark, winter-like clothes because, as Gunther explained, "There is no warm weather in Germany."

The women were all young (28 to 32 was our guess) and good looking. Like women the world over, they were enjoying the chance to dress up; all wore expensive-looking, high fashion cocktail dresses or evening pants, and all wore high-heeled sandaJs.

Since all of them commented on how "inexpensive" everything was here, we asked for a few comparisons with prices in Germany. A Big Mac there is $3, a cup of coffee in an, ordinary restaurant is $1.75, and a breakfast of juice. two eggs, ham, fried potatoes, toast and coffee is about S12, they reported.

" Are salaries comparable?" we asked. "Yes," replied Gunther's lovely blond wife.

Gerlinde. "The average secretary makes the equivalent .of 51500 to S2500 a month. "

Want To Come Blck With that, we bid them good-bye, inviting them to

come back soon. They agreed. that, if they did their job well, everyone in Germany would want to come, -preferably next summer between June and September when most Germans like to take their vacations. And when most Florida resorts like to have them, especially on Longboat Key. •

Noted Photographer At Autograph Party

I Ellzabtth AdJer

i

Elizabeth T. Adler, noted wildli fe photographer living at the Shore on Longboat, will be present this Saturday at Preuies by Pier to autograph copies of her Wild Birds of Florida 1981 calendar .

The calendar features a cormorant snapped on "'Sanibel Island on the front cover, and includes other

wild birds such as the southern bald eagle, the great white heron, black necked stilts, the American egret, the Louisiana heron. the scarlet ibis , the skimmer, snowy egret. and the anhinga.

A native of Kokomo, Indiana , Adler retired to Longboat Key in 1964 from a college teaching post in Louisiana and took up her hobby of photography in er­nest , specialipng in wildlife photography.

Her works have been featured in such prestigious publications as F!orida Wildlife . Florida Naturalist. and she has exhibited her works allover the Sarasota area, in Tallahassee. in Indiana University and in Fort Myers, where a scholarship in Photography has been endowed in her name.

The Photographic Society of America has seleeted her to be one of three judges for the Florida judging of slides and prints in the Nature Division. The photos she

'-"will be asked to judge in Clearwater in December. in the - company of two other members. are the winners in the

regional competition statewide .

Adler will be at Pretties by Pler in the Whitney Beach shopping center between the hours of II a.m. and 3 p.m. •

Sands Bay Forces Delay Of Arvida Hotel Approval

A legal-sounding resolution from Sands Bay Condo­minium in the form of a letter to all Town and Arvida officials has forced a postponement of Wednesday night's final consideration of Arvida's hotel site plan by the Longboat Commission .

Want To e. Part Of GPO The residents of the captive condominiums. Sands

Bay. The Privateer. and Longboat Key Towers. want to be considered an official part of Arvida' s GPD because (1) they want their golf and tennis memberships to be iuaranteed and to be continui ng with the ownership of their properties , and (2) they. along with the GPD. own the Key Club road and pay for its maintenance.

They feel. too, that as things progress, the resi ­dents of the GPD will do some things that will affect the residents of the captive condos. and they want to have a voice in the affairs of the GPD.

First Response Though Sands Bay has been saying this since the

beginning of the deliberations on the "GPO, this is the fir st time that their proposals have gotten an y kind of response from Arvida. This time Arvida wants its attor­ney to study the resolution and make a reply.

The resolutio n asks that the condominium residents have continuing rights to the GPD recreational facili­ties and that they be rezoned from R-C to GPO .• making them part of the Longboat Key ClUb.

Should Not Affect Density What about the increased density such a move would

bring about? According to Sands Bay spokesman Ar­thur Koenig, the condominiums have no intention of causing any disturbance to the present density,

"That can stand as it is," he says. "This present den­sity is for the new construction and has notMng to do with what was there before.

" We are not asking for anything new or different. It is our contention that we have been a part of the GPD from the begi nning, and we have the documents to prove it. All we are asking for is the enforcement of the law by the Town." •

Spanish Main and Emerald Harbor residents were hopeful that, when the owners, Yachting Estates, were shown that much of the land is under water and that no sewers or water can be put in without an easement from tne residents of Emerald Harbor, perhaps they would donate the remaining land to the Conservancy and take a tax deduction.

Herb Field Disagrees Herb Field of the Buccaneer spoke for Yachting

Estates, the owners , who, he said, were his associates. He said that they wanted to donate another section of the property to the Conservancy and build single family homes on the 4 remaining lots.

Field maintained that the lots are not landlocked, that "a little fiil" will make a road there. and that Emerald Harbor had "encroached somewhat."

ireline Chlorine · Little Quantites Mean Big Danger

Every home with a laundry tub or a swimming pool has ch10rine stored somewhere on the premises. This is a hazardous material, and should be trea~\. as such. Toxic gas is the main concern to firefight~ ltd to the residents. When chlorine gas is breathed 'i'r1:ombines with the moisture in the respiratory track and lungs to form hydrochloric acid. I, Do you have a swimming pool? Does your neighbor

have a swimming pool? 2. Where is the chlorine stored? In the garage? In;:t

shed? If you can answer "yes" to any of the above

questions, please be advised of the following precautions:

Chlorine will fo rm explosive compounds with many common chemicals, especially turpentine, either,

. ammonia or gasoline when ignited. The gases that it emits cause severe irritation to eyes and respiratory passages and exposure to high concentrations can be fatal_

Chlorine is noncombustible in air, but most combustible materials will burn in chlorine as they do in oxygen. Liquid chlorine (Clorox, Purex, etc.), can cause serious skin burns. In case of contact with eyes or skin, the victim should immediately call the Longboat Key Rescue Squad at 383-3727. flush the affected area with plenty of water for at least IS minutes.

While 'awaiting the Rescue Squad, remove victim to fresh air immediately and remove contaminated shoes and clothing at once. Keep the victim warm and quiet.

For your safety and the safety of the community sto!.e all chlorine or products that contain chlorine away frOl1l paint cans, tu~pentine, pesticides or other chemicals. The National Fire Protection 'Agency classifies chlorine as a No'. 3 health hazard and a No.1 instability hazard.

Let's keep Longboat Key a safe community and check your storage area to see that your pool supplies that contain chlorine are in a safe area away from other chemicals. -

Longboat Raccoons Dying Of Distemper

In a rash of sickness, Manatee County raccoons on Longboat Key, mainly between General Harris Drive and S1. Jude's, are evidencing all the classic symptoms of distemper and over 40 have had to be destroyed in the last two weeks.

Two weekends ago, there were 18 reports of ill animals over the two days, and all of them had to he destroyed. The raccoons showed one or more signs OJ' paralysis. weak -legs, shivering, loss of balance or eyes swollen shut, and many were moaning.

• . Policemen were busy,destroying those that were ob­viously in pain, and many of their bodies were sent to the Manatee County Animal Control where they were tested for rabies. All tests were negative for that disease but they were not tested for distemper.

The Observer has been told that distemper is con· tagious to dogs and cats and that all cases of illness in raccoons, the Police should be called at 383·3738.

The situation' i~ getting better according to a spokesman for the Police Department. Last week, only one report of a sick raccoon had been received. -

Commissioner's . . ... .. . (Continued from page 1)

No Definite Site For Tower Raymond, in his first appearance before the

Longboat Commissioners, wanted to know how much of a height variance he might be grantl!d for his tower. The Commissioners, however, first wanted to know what locat ion he had in mind for the tower.

It was a stalemate, since Raymond either couldn't or wouldn't reveal the proposed location of his tower, and the Commissioners therefore wouldn't give even a hint as to wb' ~'1r or not such a proposal was acceptable.

J ...... .., Lewin Discouraging

Commissioner AI Lewin, a former radio station owner himself, tried to discourage Raymond, telling him that he didn't feel that a radio station here could .%)ossibly succeed. ; "People here on Longboat just don't li ste~ to t~e radio much. You would have a good audience In

Sarasota, but nOt here," Lewin said. You woul~ have to be much more cosmopolitan in your programming."

During the questioning, Raymond said he thought he could get a frequency assigned .here "but, of course, when you're dealing with the government, you can never be sure."

After one of his local associates, Steve Wexler, inter­vened both were advised to get a definite location for their ~roposed tower, and then present their variance request to the Zoning Board of Adjustment. •

Garden Club To Hear Authority On LBK Plants

WE NOW HAVE

Radio Station For Longboat May Be Far In The Future

Stanley Raymond from Atlanta, who owns property on Longboat Key, is interested in acquiring a location for a tower on longboat Key for a proposed Class FM radio station.

Before applications for employment arc sent to him, the following facts should be born in mind.

F.C.C. The Federal Communications Commission in O.c.

has jurisdiction over all AM, FM and TV stations in the country . When AM starred, stations were spaced so closely together on the dial or spectrum, that a freeze was put on for any new stations until order was restored. It was later lifted and many new stations took to the air that met the new rules.

No Channels Left When FM came along, the FCC decided th-at it would

allocate the channels around the country and that ap­plications would then be accepted for the ch~nnels assigned to each community. There were few applicants 20 years ago, but now, there are very few channels left in the nation, in Florida and none is available in this area.

First Get A Frequency So if anyone is to get a station, one must apply to the

FCC to drop in or move a freque!'lcy to this·location. If this is approved, and it often takes years, then the frequency may be applied for by anyone interested. Sometimes 10 or more firms fight for the awarding of a Construction Permit (CP) and it too takes months of competitive hearings before the F.C.C., with the possibility of legal appeals by the losing parties taking even more time.

But first a location must be found for the hypothetical'station tower that Mr. Raymond and his investors are seeking. •

Under The Lt'~mlon Tree • By June Wisby

Today I received "Art yfacts" , the newsletter of a group of Michigan artists and craftspersons. Not only did I used to belong to that wonderful group. but while I lived there. I wrote the newsletter. Reading over the lists of art shows brought back so many nostalgic memories that my back staned to ache.

Art shows are hernia time for both the committee responsible for coordinating and setting the shows up, and the anists who participate. I know, as I've done it both ways.

There are all kinds of art shows. The best are juried by a good open-minded artist and a good craftsperson who knows what to look for, acting together. Too many are judged by non-ar,tists. A 'group of merchants may decide to give an art show to bring (hopefully) an influx of new buyers to their area. They do not really care whether the artists have good sales. They want the customers to trudge through their shops and buy from t.hem! So they want nothing that might compete with the goods in the stores.

Some charitable or church groups give an shows as a way to raise money for a pet prqject. Their objective is to sell the spaces to the artists . The show is juried by the little old committee member who had an art ap· preciation course 40 years ago. And, of course, her neighbor and Aunt Tillie couldn't be juried out!

Some speak seriously of having a high-quality, fine art show delcaring that only the best work will be ac­cepted. Then they choose a gallery owner or art profes­sor who is so pretentiously avant-garde that he choose, as one did in Michigan. a bag of grease as the first prize winner in sculpture! "The squishness of the medium is viable to assume any shape as it is formod or stepped on", lyrically burbled the judge.

There were many dark mutterings by other sculptors who had labor long over their work about what they'd put in a bag to take to the next show!

The unjuried show is generally a wonderful mishmash variety of good art interspersed with crocheted baby booties, shell creations all decorated with glued on eyes, paintings with eyeball assaulting violent sunsets, green­ware frogs with large open mouths to be used as ashtrays and other goshawfuls.

Some other time I'd like to tell you about what hap­pens after an artist is accepted in an art show so that you might more fully appreciate the back break and oc­casional heartbreak that goes into one!

In the meantime, don't miss the Craft Show that will be at Ringling November 22 and 23. It 's a goodie! •

"Leave your troubles outzide! Ze -liJe eez disappoin­ting? Forget it! In here. life eez beautiful ..... the girls are beauflful ..... e~'en ze orchestra eez beautiful!"

7hat line eez, er, is, spoken by the Emcee of the Kit Kat Club in the opening scene of "Cabaret," but it could just as well be a part of a tour guide's welcoming speech at Walt Disney's crowning (posthumously speaking) achievement , the $700 million dollar amusement extravaganza, Walt Disney World .

Although it's called The Magic Kingdom, it took more than a wave from Cinderella's fairy godmother's wand to get the thing built. I can dimly remember reading about the proposed Disneyland East in my fifth grade Weekly Reader - that would have been around 1960. The park didn't open until October I, 1971.

Disney opened his first Magic Kingdom in Anaheim, California in 1955 and it proved to be an enormous hit. The only problem waS' that since it was located in a rapidly growing city, park expansion was limited. To prevent this problem from happening again , Disney chose a site in the Florida boonies, 20 miles Southwest from a little place called OrlandO, for the second Disneyland, which was to be called Walt Disney World . The land was relatively cheap and the possibility for growth, unlimited.

Wa1t used to .ny over his Florida acres and dream his dreams, but he never saw them become a reality. Disney died in 1966 after an operation to remove a tumor from his lung and it was left up to his brother Roy to see the project to completion . A year or so after Mickey Mouse first strolled down the new Main Street U.S.A., Roy too was dead.

By today's Walt Disney World standards, the opening day crowd was small. But a month and a half later, during the Thanksgi .... ing weekend, so many people headed towards Walt's Wonder, a traffic jam developed that stretched for up to twenty miles . Although that was

• a one time occurrence that is not Iikel;: to happen again, . . " .' . ~ .

parking lots before noon because they were .already overflowing with cars.

Some Vital Statistics wait Disney was never one to think small when it

came to his pet projects, but the statistics that his World have racked up since 1971 would surely have impressed even him. Walt Disney World now covers 27,400 acres -the original Disneyland started with 160. The annual at­tendance is around 14 million, which makes the gran·d total of paying customers in the neiahborhood of 100 million . If we use the conservative average of $10 a head , the tOtal take at the gate is somewhere around a billion dollars, and that excludes the millions of dollars brought in each year from the sale of souvenirs, food, lodging, parking lot fees and other revenue sources.

The Magic Kingdom itself is divided up into six lands: Adventureland , Liberty Square, Frontierland, Main­street U.S.A., Fantasyland and Tomorrowland. Within these six areas are 45 major attractions and dozens of smaller rides, shops , restaurants and exhibits . Disney World also has three resort hotels, convention facilities , nightclubs, a campground, pools, lakes , two golf cour­ses, two smaller attractions (River Country, and a tropical garden called Discovery Island) and a large fleet of boats, trams , buses, trains, monorails and other con­veyances to move people around the enormous park. All of thi~ takes between 12,000 and 15,000 employees to operate.

7l1ese people earned their money on March 28 , 1978. A record-breaking crowd of 85,123 people came through the turnstiles on that date. But then they always earn their pay. How would you like being told to smile at 40,000 people every day? If my math is correct. that is approximately the average daily attendance at Walt Disney World.

Walt Disney Memories From A Member Of The Baby Boom

Like any decent kid growing up in the mid fifties, I had my eyeballs glued to the old Motorola when it was time for the "Mickey Mouse Club." (I thought Karen was the most beautiful girl in the world - Annette looked tOO much like my older sister.) For some reason a lot of us believed that Karen, Annette, Bobby, Cubby and the other Mousketeers lived with Jimmy Dodd and his sidekick Roy at Walt Disney's new amusement park, Disneyland, which looked like heaven on earth when friendly old Walt showed it to us via his Wednesay night TV show. The magic worked pretty well in those days, at least for those of us toO young to know who Joseph McCarthy was, or the capabilities of the hydrogen bomb, or of a country name Vietnam.

About the only clear memory J have of the place con­cerns an incident on the Jungle Cruise ride in 1962. A toothy tou r guide suggested that the kid in the back of the boat wearing the wraparound sunglasses had better take his hand out of the water or a mechanical alligator would reach up and tear his arm off. No self-respecting 12-year-old likes to have a boatload of tourists wearing orange Hawaiian shirts, Bermuda shorts. green knee socks and Mickey Mouse ears turn around and laugh at him - and I gave him a few well-chosen obscenities under my breath for doing it to me .

My first experience at Florida's Walt Disney World 11 years later was none too pleasant, either. The tem­perature was well into the 90's that day and the place was packed with sweaty, impatient tourists who were still wearing the orange Hawaiian shirts , the Bermuda shorts, the green knee soc ks and the Mickey Mouse ears (the only difference was that instead of cheap Brownie cameras around their necks, they had expensive Nikons).

Fortunately, my third trip to a Walt Disney produc­tion was much less traumatic, enjoyable in fact, possibly because I was in the guise of the Entertainment Editor of a major Longboat Key newspaper and therefore not compelled to try and enter in the spirit of the thing and have a good time. It was also refreshingly cool for August, and my companions and I didn't have to stand in line for more than 10 minutes for any of the attrac­tions except for Space Mountain.

A Personal Guided Tour of Some Highlights The best thing to do when you step off the monorail

that brings you from the parking lot to the good stuff is get on the steam train that circumnavigates the park so you can see where everything is. We didn 't do it. We wanted to get right at the heart of the beast and plunged into the sizable crowd that filled Mainstreet U.S.A.

After a quick stop in a few of the stores that line the street and a visit to the cinema that shows several silent films on rear projection screens , we took a sharp left at the town square and soon ended up in Adventureland. The main attractions here are the dreaded " Jungle Cruise" ride, the "Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse" and a new bit of fun called the "Pirates of the Carib­bean". We opted for the pirates since none of us had seen it before.

" The Pirates of the Caribbean" is one of the better thing~ t~at the Disney. cre,atqrs h~ye come ,up wiJh . . As

--. . . . . _. ' - - ._-" '---' -

speaking mannequins, not cartoons) pirates pillage an island city (there is no such thing as rape in Disney World. or sex for that matter). It reminded 1l7J> of all the frat parties 1 avoided in college. ...;,." <;

The most interesting feature to be found on Liberty Square is the " Hall of Presidents," a multi-media presentation which is given in a large auditorium. After a rather saccharinized film version of American history, the screens are pulled away to reveal life-sized animated replicas of all the presidents. The effect is rather spook., when Lincoln rises from his chair and makes a speech while his colleagues look around the hall, adjust the collars and check for fingernail dirt .

rm all fo r telling kids the truth about our heri tage and our heroes, so I have several suggestions that would make this exhibit more effective. For instance, Thomas Jefferson could be shown with one of his slaves shining his boots, William Henry Harrison could exhibits signs of pneumonia, Warren G. Harding could be holding a teapot, Lyndon Johnson could show his scars and Richard Nixon could have been laping his memoirs.

The Country Bear Jamboree is the highlight of Fron­tierland. Using the animated characters agai n, a group of lifesize bears and a stuffed moosehead perform a revue of cornball hillybilly songs. The artists have carefully crafted the bears faces and bodies to fit their given personalities. The show is amazingly convincing but should be avoided if you've been hi tti ng the moon­shine .

This brings us to Fanlasyland and the infamous "In a Small World After All" a!ITaction. Kids under the age of nine will like this trip around the world courtesy of hundreds of animated dolls. but aduhs will notice how comparatively tacky this show is when compared with things like the " Hall of Presidents." You'U have to stick your head inside a cement mixer to get the cutesy tune out ofyout mind. Better to spend your E ticket on "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea." but even it pales in comparison to the really sophisiticated stuff such as the aforementioned "Hall of Presidents" and "The Haun­led House" just off Liberty Square.

7l1e last land is Tomorrowland which features the notorious " Space Mountain." I'm leery of any ride that suggests that people with weak heart s find some other form of amusement. All this thing is, is an indoor neck wrenching, gut churning indoor rollercoaster with special lighting effects to really make you dizzy. I had my fill of hardcore rollercoasters when I had to save my little brolher from going over the restraining bar as ".:'! were coming down a steep hill on the Comet at the old Riverview amusement park in Chicago. For me, once was quite enough on "Space Mountain."

7here are plenty of things to do and sec for the less adventurous at Walt Disney World. Various musical revues are presented all day long, there are all kinds of exh ibits and displays to look at , and in the evening you can ooh and aah over the "Main Street Elect rical Parade" and the " Fantasy in the Sky" fueworks show. Or you can also just sit and watch the people go by. There are more characters strolling around Disney World than Walt' s artists ever came up with.

Summations For 25 years, Walt Disney's amusement park , and

now parks, have kept Mickey's little animated finger in the fantasy dike in a vain but gallant attempt to keep the wicked old world and all of its woes outside the gates. Through the cold war, the missiles of October , the slaughter of Vietnam . Through the invasion of drug~ fried hipsters, student revolts, rogue presidents an~ lawsuits against poster compan ies who sought [0 sully the image of Walt Disney's lovable cartoon characters by showing them performing un-Disney like acts. Through scuffles with homosexuals who wanted to dan­ce together-at Disney musical performances and through strikes by these very same musical performers Disneyland and Disney World have tried to maintain an islands of innocence in a' sea of corruption , a fan­tasyland in the age ofthe neutron bomb.

Theater

The Manatee Players "Once Upon A Mattress" "Once Upon a Mattress" is a musical fractured

fairytale about a doltish young prince's attempt to find a suitable wife and his mother the Queen 's plots to make sure he never finds a princess who can pass the tests she devises.

Queen Aggravain manages to flunk out 12 unlucky ladies. but the 13th, a vulgar whench from a swamp kingdom. proves to be mpre of a pcoblem. So the queen, unbeknownst to all except her cohort. the wizard, decides to test her new adversary's sensitivity by placing a pea under the twenty mattresses she has placed in the guest room of the castle. A true princess, she figures. would be unable to sleep due to the discomfort caused by the pea - and Princess Winnifred the Woebegone is about as delicate as an iron mace.

The cast is made up of Manatee Players veterans with .;.ilie addition of a couple of newcomers to this stage). and the ensemble does a fine job in bringing this amusing bit of business to life. Special credit should be given to Cara Vander Wiel (princess Winnifred) Jeff Atherton (Prince Dauntless) Robin V. Allison (the jester) and Gloria Clendenon, who is particularly good as the wicked old queen.

The unseen stars of the show are the director and set designer, John Duval, and June Bright and her crew. Ms. Bright and company's costumes are first rate at any community theater's standards.

"Once Upon a Mattress" may not be the ·best thing the Manatee Players have produced in the last two years, but it's right up there with "Equus" and "The Royal Family." For reservations, call 748-0111. •

There is no speed control of cars and the traffic is constant from morning till night. Everyone is puffing cigarettes con­stantly. The air is so bad, the famous sculptures from the Acropolis have to be moved indoors to a museum to protect them from deterioration in the polluted at­mosphere.

By Kevin Dean

The Moorings If you are looking for a restaurant where the choices

include everything from a New York cut strip steak to Lake Superior smelts to pastichio and moussaka, then the new Moorings, located on Cortez Road between Bradenton and Cortez , is just the place you've been looking for.

In addit ion to 14 different seafood entrees; and such American favo rites as steak, roast beef, prime rib, Bar­B-Q ribs, and pork chops, The Moorings offers a good selection of Greek dishes for those who want something a little different. And of course, there is a wide variety of appetizers, soups and salads to go with any of the dinners. For smaller people (under 12) with smaller ap­petites, The Moorings has a small menu where the kids can choose from steak on a skewer, a fried grouper sandwich or a beef or cheeseburger.

Country Chicken ~. Lamb Shank

PRIME RIB Au Jus Live MAINE LOBSTER Charbroiled

Because of the sizable crowds that The Moorings is already attracting, Kipling and I went early, but by the time we left , the place was almost full (reservations aren't a must , but they are advisable). After pursuing the menu for a while, Kipling decided on the So uvlaki (steak on a skewer with vegetables). and I the steak and lobster combination. Since we had arranged this par­ticular visit in advance, we also got to try a portion of all the Greek dishes and the "Greek Sailors Salad" as well .

Patti & George

The steak was juicy and cooked to perfection and the lobster, which was stuffed with crabmeat, was also quite good. I tried a piece of Kipling's souvlaki at her recom­mendation and quickly realized why she was so anxious for me to try it. The flavor of the tender chunks of beef was fantastic.

That same adjective couJd be used for the Greek dishes we were served which included moussaka (layers of sauteed eggplant, zucchini, beef and potatoes topped with a creamy cheese sauce), pastichio (macaroni and chopped beef also layered and topped with that same cheese sauce), and Grecian style leg of lamb and chicken. All of it was cooked just right and all of it was excellent. So was the Greek salad we started with. I should also add that the dinners .come with soup, salad, a vegetable of the day, a choice of potatoes or rice pilaf, and a loaf of fresh bread.

Since you can't go to a restaurant that serves Greek food without trying some of those Greek desserts, we did JUSl that. The Baklava (nuls, honey and fillo), Karydopita (walnut pie) and the dessert of the day, a kind of Greek custard, were all just as good as the rest o f the meal.

The Moorings has an elegant , yet comfortable in­terior with two dining rooms and a lounge with a dining area . The prices are very reasonable, the most expensive things on the menu are $10.95, which isn't bad for a restaurant of this quaiity . There are plenty of waiters and waitresses on hand to keep everything coming smoothly and all of them seemed very courteous and ef­ficient. But most important, the food is excellent Gudging from the comments coming from the other tables, the verdict was unanimous) .

Specifically, the address for The Moorings is 6100 Cortez Road. For reservations call 792-5522. The restaurant opens at 4:00 pm.

25c Falre The St. Armands Circle Association has signed up the

. Naples based trnlIey to start Wednesday, Nov . 26, and it will drive from St . Armands to Lido and back again every day except Sunday for the sum of 2.5¢. The hours will be from 10 a.m. to about.5 p.m.

The trolley itself will hold 42 passengers and some standees, has an 8 track cart plus a public address system and the San Francisco bell on the top. It is called t~e SI. Armands Trolley and will run from November thru April.

To Lido Key &: Return The route will be to all the condos and hotels on Lido,

then around each of the four Quadrants of 51. Armands Circle and au[ to Lido again. It was erroneously report. ed by a paper not on Longboat Key that tbe trolley would drive up and down Gulf of Mexico Drive, but is not the case. The trolley will not even cross New Pass as plans now stand and wili not in the immediate future bring customers from S1. Armands and Lido to the new Longboat Key shopping center.

Private Owned The trolley is a privately owned vehicle, rented by the 51. Armands Circle Association for the benefit of those living nearby to park their cars, take the trolley, and shop on S1. Armands.

Garaging A Problem Since Longboat Key lost its public bus service, many

have hoped the trolley would replace it, but not unless someone picks up the cost of the trolley, the gas, drivers, maintenance, insurance and garaging. The last item is looming larger every day since the trolley is 10 feet tall and a spokesman for the Association says they still haven't found a place to store it indoors. If anyon'! knows of a garage large enough which will take it at night, please call The Observer.

Trolley Tokens Future plans for the trolley include a connection with

a sim ilar t rolley from Palm Avenue in Sarasota and the issuance of special tokens which will be available from every merchant on St. Armands who belongs to the Association. Aside from the 25¢ fare , the trolley is being supported by advertising signs on the outside of the vehicle. Of the 26 spaces available, 22 have been sold to merchant s for the season.

"Ding Dong" If a firm or organization on Longboat Key would be

willing to pay their share of the expenses, the St. Ar­mands Circle Associations says it would be pleased to discuss expansion of the route. Meanwhile, it will be " Ding Dong" from St. Armands to Lido just in time for Thanksgiving. •

Sarasota Garden Club To Display Christmas Trees

For the third year, Driftwood Garden Circle of the Sarasota Garden Club will be starting off the holiday season with their display of Christmas trees from around ~he world. The display will be held .at the Sarasota Garden Center, 1311 ~lvd. of the Arts; D~. 6-8. Hours will be 12·8 p.m. on Dec. 6 & 7 and 124 p.m. on Dec. 8. A donation of $1.00 will be asked. Again this year, Children's Haven and the Welfare Home will be guests of Driftwood, Friday morning Dec. 6.

This year 10 new trees will be shown, along with wreaths. hanging baskets, a Chanakah display, holiday flower arrangements and a holiday decorated doll house. All decorations are handmade. Hostesses will be stationed near each display and tree to answer any questions.

English Tree Evergreens were brought into homes during the win­

ter solstice long ago, later Christian homes and churches were filled with greenery at Christmas time. During the reign of Queen Victoria the Christmas tree became very popular. There will be hand crocheted sugar plum baskets, handmade paper roses and other decorations on the tree. Mrs. Clayton Barker of Longboat Key is chairman.

Japanese Tree Christmas was unknown in Japan until a century ago .

Today it is a popular holiday even for the nonchristian. Japanese trees are very simple. This tree will be covered with gold foil oragami Ofnaments. Oragami is the art of folding paper.

German Tree Germany is credited with the first tree. The tree is the

symbol of Christmas in Germany and throughout the world. Ornament of glass balls and tinsel started with the Germans. Some ornaments found on the tree will be the bearded face and peaked cap of pagan Father TQor, .St. Nicholas as a bishop, a golden haired angel, and Kris Kringle.

Community Tree This is a Sarasota Tree. Different organizations in the

community were contacted to place a three dimensional ornament on the tree to represent their group. The or­nament is to be smaller ihan three inches and no larger than five.

In the early part of the century, one tree served the whole town. It was set up in the town hall, church or school. Around it centered Christmas entertainment or a program; often ten small gifts were presented to the children of the town.

Natu re Tree A tree made of all natural things we find in nature.

Family Tree Made by one of Driftwood's members, Mrs. Edward

Krasenics, each ornament was made for a member of her family, showing pictures of each one. This is a great idea for anyone to make , starting a family tradition.

Oecoupage Tree This tree is being done by the Sun Coast Chapter of

the National Decoupage Guild. It will be a 6 foot tree. done in gold and white. This group made ornaments that adorned a tree at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.t.last year.

Moravian Tree The Moravian Church dates back to the 1400's,

because it's early history centered in Moravia, now part of Czechoslovakia, it became known as the Moravian Church. Because music played a great part in the Moravian religion our tree will have instruments on it. The Moravian orchestras were the earliest synlphony orchestras in America. The first trombones were brought to America, by the Moravians, they were used to announce all public occasions.

Finland Tree. In many Finish homes on "Little Christmas", han­

dmade ornaments are made fo r the Christmas tree. This is the last Sunday in November. Suspended above the tree is a canopy of straw. From this canopy are hung paper stars that reflect that lamp and fire light, suggesting a starlit sky to the children. Straw is also placed on the floor un~er the tree to suggest a manger . •

The ;. foiailing event that the clubs are still talking ,~

about IS the Sarasota Yacht aub 's Second Annual Regatta, held recently. It is probably the largest event of this type to be held in the Sarasota area with 116 entries . Last year there were 61 entries. According to Com­modore Lou Brady next year will be even better .

No Wind It's too bad we didn't have a little of hurricane Jean­

ne's side effects so it could have been a more exciting race. As it was the 'fastest' boat fin ished the nine mile course in two hours, 53 minutes. This average out to 2.94 kn9ts. The slowest speed was 1.62 knots, finishing in five hours, 14 minutes. We can attest to this fact si nce our boat , Truelove, was second to last and some­times we were not moving at all.

The individual results were reported in last week's paper. There is one change: Pat Murphy (Kerry Blue) of the Sarasota Sailing Squadron was first which moves Larry Cafiero (Padre) to second and Bill Fisher (Snoopy) to third . They are members of the Sun Coast Yacht Club .

Awards Party At the awards cocktail party given November 13 at

the Sarasota Yacht Club fi rst, second and third place trophies were presented to the offshore contestants . t-ewter dishes for first and second place were given to the skippers of the one-design classes who raced on Saturday.

Large golden trophies with sailboats on the top were presented for club team results.

Division one, unlimited sails with competition among only the three senior yacht clubs (Bird Key, Field and Sarasota) was won by Bird Key.

Division one, unlimited sails competition among all six of the participating clubs; the Sun Coast Yacht Club was the winner.

Division twot .under 28 feet working sails was won by the Sarasota Sailing Squadron.

Division three, 28 feet and over of the three senior clubs the Field Club was the winner.

Division three in the six club competition for 28 feet and over was won by the Sun Coast Yacht aub.

It is impressive that so many of the boats were skip­pered and crewed by family members, usually husband

.... Jld wife, often father and sons or daughters. "A family that sails together" -- sometimes wins.

One exception was in the Lazer class with Bill Waggener, Jr. beating his father, Bill Waggener, Sr. on Saturday. But then, a Lazer i~ a one man boat.

Other Trouble. . More than the light wind troubled some of tbe boats. Charlikali, sailed by Bob and Helen Guernsey had a nice lead in the first leg of the race . But they didn't win because they ran over a lobster pot and lost ten minutes while Bob unhooked it. We asked about the lobsters, he didn't look , hejust wanted to get rid of it . Another boat ' doing well came too far inshore and went aground . He gave up.

And then there was the boat that dido't make way at the mark and other -- as I say they are still talking about it.

Gillespie Golf Classic Postponed

The 1980 Gillespie Memorial Pro-Am, schedwed for Longboat Key Golf & Tennis Qub the weekend after Than ksgiving, November 29 and 30, has been post­poned.

The announcement was made Tuesday by Arvida Corporation and Florida State Golf Association of­ficials, sponsors of the event, after deciding the limited response of 50 players not up to the norma] pace of en­tries with the tournament just two and a half weeks away_

"Obviously the shi fl of tournament dates from Memorial Day in May to the November holiday week, with its traditional family and home club events, produced too many conflicts for FSGA members who have played in the Gillespie in the past, " FSGA President and Tournament Chairman Bill Carey said.

Carey originated a Gillespie Memorial Tournament, in another format, in 1958 at Sarasota Golf Club Colony, to honor J. Hamilton Gillespie, the Scot who built Aorida' s first golf holes in Sarasota in 1886.

"Everyone considered the idea of having the Memorial event still valid, particularly when we'll soon be observing the lOOth year of Florida Golf, so we shall have a look at a non-conflicti ng date in the spring and reschedule," Carey said.

He indicated that entry fees will be returned im­mediately along with letters of e'.planation to the limited field of contestants who hao signed in the play.

-.- --Letter ...... . . . . . . ...... (Continued from page 2)

Andy Young, now a major factor in American foreign policy, called Islam "a vibrant cultural force" and labelled the Ayatollah "a saint." At a February 12 press conference, Caner said that despite the Iranian revolution, American would continue its "very produc­tive and peaceful cooperation with tran."

In late February, our President no doubt ingratiated himself with the Mexicans with his joke while there on the effects of their drinking water.

Billy Carter Concerning family matters, Brother Billy underwent

treatment for "alcohol dependency" and his sister, the faith healer, was arrested for disturbing the peace in Americus, Georgia.

Somewhere along here in 1979, Joe Califano acknowledged that the sum of seven million dollars of Health, Education and Welfare money had been "lost." They gave it out but had no record of where it went.

Carter took an 8-day cruise on the Delta Queen down the Mississippi , making 11 stops in the first 48 hours so that political pitches could be delivered. He also kept fellow passengers awake as he regularly jogged two miles around the deck in, he claimed, 13 minutes. While canoei ng on the Mississippi he was allegedly attacked by' a savage jack rabbit.

In late summer, Jimmy proudly announced the firing or retirement of two Cabinet heads . Then Dr. Peter Bourne, a Georgia crony and White House official , was grudgingly sacked after revelations that he was writing prescriptions for drugs.

Caner revealed that , while in a car with South Korean President Park Chung-Hee, he had attempted to con­vert Mr. Park, who is a Buddhist.

John Glenn Then, during a White House celebration honoring

America's space program, he ran into Senator John Glenn, the former astronaut. Said the President: "What are YOU doing here?"

By the end of October, the President could claim another historic first: he became the first President ever to sink to a public approval rating of 19070. This was lower than Nixon and lower than Truman, who was a point below Nixon.

Early in 1980, limmy learns from A. Young that "Cubans can be a stabilizing force in Africa." And he himsel f lectures Americans that they must get over their "inordinant fear of Communism." Our Chief Executive astrounds a reporter from Newsweek by con­fiding that since becoming President he has learned "where all the nations of the world are and who their leaders are."

Our U.N. Ambassador, Donald McHenry, voted fo r a Security Council resolution condemning Israeli west bank settlements only to find out later that Carter and Secretary Vance didn't have that in mind al all. Carter and Vance somehow fai led to transmit to him that he was to vote for the resolution only after references to occupied Jerusalem were deleted.

Mohammad All In another great diplomatic move , Carter sent

Mohammad Ali, the 2SD-pound pugilist and poet, as a President envoy to five African nations ' to explain America's fo reign policy. In the following disaster, Ambassador Ali, among other amazing comments, called Leonid I. Brezhnev "one of the two baddest white men in the world."

U.S. Intelligence reported a Soviet combat brigade in Cuba. Carter. along with the head of the Senate Foreign relations Com mittee, said America just wouldn ' t take that sitting down . But we did, and are.

Then there was the hostage-taking in Iran , Nothing but diplomatic appeals for the first six months, then the rescue attempt, which , judged as a military mission, showed alarming flaws in our armed forces. And the final stroke - the failed attempt to fix the election' by getting a hostage release just before Novem~r 4.

These, then, are the Golden Oldies, a list of some of thoO! events in the past four years which Mr. Carter might not touch upon in his memoirs. But you and I know about them, and maybe lots of other people do, too. Maybe, in fact , these things caused the Great Awakening on November 4,1980.

Sincerely, Ray Sweeney_

Letter . . .. . . ......... . .. (Continued from plge 2)

I then asked this officer what he would have done in this situation, explaining to him the circumstances. He said that I should have tried to get in back of the driver when he started speeding up. There were however other cars behind me, and had I even tried doing this, it may have well cause a " chain reaction" wreck!

So you see, even though you try to obey the law, you end up "paying" and the "criminal" gets off scotfree! The "criminal" in this case was the driver " up front"! For all intents and purposes he will wend his "merry" way, oblivious to other drivers, the " rules" of the road, that is, until he causes another situation from which he cannot drive away!

After ascertaining at this point we could not possibly get to church services on time, I decided to head back south toward home.

To add "insult to injury", my husband and I then perceived a driver in a small black compact car , break out of line, cross over a · 'double" no passing zone, travelling at a high rate of speed, veering onto the far­thest "east" side o f GMD highway, finally passing no less than fou r or five cars, in the interim!

This person was driving recklessly, speeding, im­properly passing, perhaps even driving while under the influence, or what. ,( , not to mention possibly having committed a felony, ttempting escape, and nary an of­ficer in sight!

Interesti ng? YOl< bet! Sincerely yours,

"A resident of LBK" P .S. For obvious )05, I would just as soon remain

anonymous. I have ' Id my "debt" (citation), but just the same I am still ' burned up" at the stupid drivers (and tvurists) we have on GMD Dri ve , crowded as it is, without one thought except ' 'seeing toe sights!"

an appetite for strawberries we, Jim and I, satisfied it . My confusion as to where to market is magnified by

the fact that my wife and I enjoy dining OUI. That presents problems too . My former Head Chef, Harold Wuelfrath, still commands the kitchen at the Far Horizons. My second Chef, Frank Caldwell , is doing a magnificent job at the Colony Beach and Jesus Garraus, my former Maitre d', is establishing a good reputation for himself at the Country Club of Sarasota. If we dine out frequently, we certainly ~on 't have to market and 1 get the uncomfortable feeling that my friends in the grocery business feel that we are neglecting them.

As matters now stand I can' t even set foot in Publix. Just suppose that Ted and Joe happened to be there at the time to do comparative shopping. My wife has been there though because my daughter-in-Iaw's grand­mother saves S&H green stamps and Louse goes there occasionally to buy them. to keep happiness in the family. Whenever she does, however, 1 warn her beforehand to glare at the manager and to ignore the cashier and otherwise not to become too friendly with the staff. 1 simply can't afford to have her develop a rapport there because it is conceivable that Kwik Chek may wish to open a supermarket on the Key and my problem will become that much more pronounced . •

both the NYSE Composite Index and the ASE Market Value Index are very close to all-time highs .

After years of watching the institutions panic to get cash reserves into the market at the first sign of a rally, Stone & Mead say their current behavior obviously indicates a change in their attitude toward common stocks. It is clear that they must be convinced that the current market advance is only a rally and not the start of a major bull move. The fact that the market continues to grind ahead against this attitude is one of the strongest arguments to expect the advance to continue.

Fundamentally, some analysts are now beginning to think that the growing likeli hood that there will be a tax cut which will be good for business is the main reason fo r the market's refusal to buckle under. However, to Stone & Mead the current technical progression is now so strong that. in some respects, it doesn't matter what the fundamental force is behind the advance.

There is, however, one missing ingredient that must fall into place before the powerful bull market Stone & Mead expect can get under way . The key missing ingredient is volume. Volume is slowly increasing, but it remains below the levels that are needed .

And so, back to psychology. If histQry is any guide, we don't have to worry about a significant market decline until everyone is fi nally convinced that it won't happen. In the meantime, though, if you're nervously bullisb , keep your fingers crossed.

Our late hurricane Jeanne dumped 23.10 inches of rain on Key West in the space of about six hours. Oil co mpan ies were forced to evacuate hundreds of workers from off-shore rigs in the Gulf. Then Jeannie seemed to dawdle in her path and drift slowly westward without any great pun­ch. Otherwise. sunn y skies prevailed over much of the south.

Pity the Poor Weatherman Forecasting weather is both a complicated and

fascinating business. One must have the audacity of a fortune teller and the keen mind of a mathemat ic ian . And. alas, when the weather proves him wrong, he needs the hide of a rhino to withstand the barbs he receives . What would we do without him?

Since the Greeks and Romans were the first sailors, they were the first people to have a desperate need to know about winds and storms. Therefore. most early meteorology was connected with the sea. Aristotle seems to have the first claim to being a weather buff but he also had an avid curiosity about almost everything. His work, "Meteorologica", was los! when Rome fell to the barbarians. However, three Greek commentaries existed and, from them, a textbook was written that was used for nearl y two tho usand years .•
