(AP) The state Public Service Commisson decided Monday to require telephone companies to explain why they no longer give out addresses with telephone numbers.

The PSC added the issue of addresses to an April 13 hearing on whether telephone companies should be allowed to charge the public for directory assistance calls. "Yoia can't get addresses from the telephone companies anymore," said PSC chairman William f. Mayo. "I ju.st wonder why. I want to find out more about that." He said addresses can be very helpful to a person seeking information if he isn't sure that the operator is giving him the correct number.

Commissioner William Bevis said the PSC should consider the cost and time factors involved in giving out addresses before requiring the telephone companies to do so. The commission is slated to consider at its April meeting whether telephone companies can charge for assistance with numbers listed in the directory or impose a fee for information calls exceeding a monthly minimum. Smuggling Penalties Sought TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) The Board of Business Regulation said Monday that smugglers who run untaxed cigarettes into Florida should face the same penalties as those who haul truckloads of beer into the state. The board rejected a plan by Beverage Director Edward Ashley to ask the legislature to provide stiffer penalties for cigarette smugglers because he said that's a more serious problem.

"It just doesn't seem equitable to me that a man can go to prison and lose his civil rights for violating what we quantify as too many cigarettes but he can have any amount of beer he wants," said chairman Richard Fallot. Board members told Ashley the penalties should be the same for smuggling untaxed cigarettes or untaxed beer, wine and whisky into Florida. But Ashley said later the law (currently distinguishes between cigarette and alcohol Laverne Shirley penalties, providing up to five years for shipping more than 8:00 Mash Nova Rookies Police Woman 10,13 1 Health 2 smuggling any amount of 10 cartons of untaxed cigarettes into the state with intent to sell.

SOLD ON IT Evelyn Morris of the ABC Ambulance Service listens to Jay Mills, director of preparedness for civil defense, as he explains the functions and workings of recorder receiver unit. ABC purchased two units to improve their emergency system. Emergency Radio Unit Prepared For Service BYNINOSYLMAR Staff Writer In a continuing effort to enhance and improve the recently-installed Bay County alert system, the county commission has purchased 40 recorder-receivers, similar to the ones installed in the county's school system, and is making these units available to all emergency services. In a meeting held Monday morning at the communication center of civil defense, the units were displayed on a long table for members of the different services to inspect. Jay Mills, civil defense preparedness director, explained the nomenclature and operating procedures regarding the units and elaborated how these units will best serve each emergen- Callaway Adopts Junk Ordinance A new law that city officials feel will rid Callaway of its refuse and junk automobile problems was adopted Monday night by the city commission at a special meeting.

Ordiannce No. 155 states that it is unlawful to accumulate or allow to accumulate any garbage, trash, filth, rubbish or any types of refuse oji or about any type of premises in the city. It provides penalties and the means for prosecuting violators, spells out how and when trash will be removed, and states that the materials will be removed at owners expense. Failure to comply with the new law will result in a charge, assessment or lien against the property and a charge and assessment against the owner which may be enforced by "appropriate action in municipal court." City Attorney Mike Mann called the statute a "sanitary ordinance" and noted that it is designed to eliminate "unsightly or unsanitary" conditions on property in the city. A similar ordinance, but less definitive, was declared "constitutionally vague" by Callaway Municipal Judge Robert Hughes recently in a case involving resident Donald Almanzar, an employe at Tyndall AFB.

Almanzar was present at the commission meeting and he complained that his neighbors had put undue pressure on him through Governor Rubin Askew, General Carl Peterson, commander of Tyndall AFB and General James Chappe, who visited the base a few weeks ago. Almanzar said that he only wanted a "fair shake" if he should decide to plead his case to the city commission sometime in the future rather than getting figuratively "stabbed in the back" as had been the case with his neighbors. "I'm a collector of cars and they may not be the type of cars my neighbors like," said Almanzar. "But every effort is being made to get rid of them." Mann assured' Almanzar that "when this ordinance is enforcecl, everyone will get a fairshake." OLD FURNITURE --LIKE NEW All Work Guaranteed ANDREW UPHOLSTERY FREE ESTIMATES 265-5790 Dr. Elliott F.

Monroe, MD. ANNOUNCES THE OPENING OF OFFIGES FOR THE PRACTICE OF GYNECOLOGY OBSTETRICS AT HIS NEW WCATION 705 East 6th St. 769-2496 James Heisler was hired as. assistant fire chief at a salary of $185 per week. Chief Justice Moves TALLAHASSEE, Fla.

(AP) James Adkins moved out of the office of Florida Supreme Court chief justice and Ben Overton moved in Monday. "I found out I could keep my cool under very adverse circumstances," Adkins said of his tumultous two-year tenure which ended without fanfare. "I'm proud the court weathered the storm," he said. "We were able to select a chief justice without a big blast of criticism." Commenting in his justice's office with pictures and books still stacked in chairs, Adkins, 61, said, "In the present posture of thingshin government in general, I don't think the court will ever be vvilhout criticism. But I don't tliink we will have the problems of the past.

At least, I hope not." During Adkins' term, two justices resigned under pressure of a House impeachment investigation. A third. Justice Joseph Boyd, was cleared after passinga mental examination. Trial Calendar Released The criminal trial calendar for the local Circuit Court was set Monday, with Judge Larry Smith presiding this week. Calvin Sharick and Charles Edward Mixon, charged with two counts of burglary, face trial this week.

Leola Mobley faces a charge of second degree murder for the alleged slaying of her husband. Paul T. Wynn and William T. Roulston will face the court this week and are charged with conspiracy to commit a felony, namely burglary and possession of burglary tools. Thomas Haskell Jordan's trial was continued until next week, and he is facing charges of handling stolen property.

Luther Thompson's trial on charges of shooting into a dwelling has been set for Fi'iday. Robert Ned Barret, charged with one count of shooting into an occupied dwelling and two counts of aggravated assault, is also set for this week. Forrest E. Smith, charged with larceny of a firearm, had his case nolle prossod. William R.

Bishop, charged with aggravated assault and aggravated batteiy, had his trial continued. cy service. "With these units, you'll be able to monitor not only emergency calls emanating from your own area but throughout the county," Mills said. "However, if you so desire, you can monitor only calls from your own area." Mills indicated however, that pending receipt of two-way radios which will also be includedv in the alert system, telephones will be used to confirm emergency calls being relayed from the communication center to the various holders of the recorder-receivers. In essence, each device which operates on 155.925 frequency, is electronically hooked up to a specific button on the control box located at the communications center.

When someone reports an emergency directly to the control room by dialing 769-5000, the origin of the call is deger- mined and the emergency service located in that particular area is alerted on the recorder-receiver. "If we don't get any acknowledgement within one or two minutes, we'll use our telephone back up to find out if the call has been received," Mills explained. "As soon as we get our two-way radios, however, we'll be using them instead." The electronic device which operates on batteries as well as 1110 volt is completely portable and costs $186.50 per unit. According to County Commissioner John Mullins half of the cost is being defrayed by the county. "But we don't know if we can purchase additional units under the same federal funding, next time," headded.

In a phone inquiry to the civil defense office, it was ascertained that eleven emergency units have purchased two units each. They are: The ABC Ambulance Service; aiid the volunteer fire departments for Panama City Beach, Bayou George, Hiland Park, Callaway, Cedar Grove, East Bay, Lynn Haven, Northwest Side, Southport and Thomas Drive. "More will be sold at a later declared the spokesman for civil defense. Hydrogen Energy Discussed MIAMI BEACH, Fla.
