The Impromptu pool party landed In the circular fountain near the hall when dozens of youg men and women, most of whom seemed to be sharing the holiday and-or spirits, frolicked in the shallow, clear water clear when they started, but the color of Fall Creek when the party ended. A BIG GUY called Bruno was typical of the males getting themselves and everyone within 50 feet wet. Wearing a beat-up straw hat, cutoff jeans and a T-shirt with the message, "Let's Get Naked," he ecstaticaly screamed cheers and threw water in every direction. His goal seemed to be to douse as many well-built young women in shirts as possible.

Girls were carried into the fountain screaming, their conquerers raising fists in triumph. For the middle-class kids who cavort at the 500-Mile Race, the question is: "What race?" Does anybody except race announcer Tom Carnegie and the drivers, actually "see" the filing? It's certainly easier to hear the race than it is to see it. THE STATE POLICE on duty inside the track sure don't see much action beyond the infield. As the cars roared i V. I NOW! AT LAST TtA.

The splashers dispersed fairly peacefully, considering their conditions. Meanwhile, the once-tumultuous a i was almost tranquil.

A scruffy dude who kept trying to stand up without assistance provided almost the only action in the first-turn infield. He was unsuccessful, but a few of his falls were spectacular. OH, THE PLACE never will suggest a field of the "new-mown hay in all its fragrance" that Jim Nabors sings about each year but one actually could watch the cars go by. And there was a woman in a dress! And nobody poured beer on her! What a strange day. It didn't even rain.

The police were loudly bood, and one trooper got hit with a can of beer, but he didn't even flinch and the party I a -V, zc KITTLE'S CASTLETON IF WOMEN CAN DRIVE IN THE THEY CAN SPLASH, TOO For $7 Apiece, The Infield Is A Real Bargain In Parties Star Photos By Allelierrv Miami Experiencing 'Year Of Jamaican1 estimates including illegal immigrants S- KITTLE'S r-X WHITEHALL PH ETHAN ALLEN FqJ 1 wH GALLERY FINAL SIX HOURS! Miami (AP) Thousands of wealthy- and middle-income Jamaicans are moving to Florida since Prime Minister Michael Manley raised taxes sharply and began to nationalize farms and factories. "Migration comes in waves, and this is the year of the Jamaican," Miami immigration lawyer David Walter says. As the Cubans did after Fidel Castro took over, the Jamaicans are looking to the Miami area for a congenial climate and new opportunities. Immigration officials say they know of 8,000 adult Jamaican immigrants, but probably double the figure.

David Coore, Jamaica's deputy prime minister, estimates that about 2,000 of the nation's 10,000 professionals have left. He recently told the House of Assembly that $60 million (in Jamaican money) was "loose" on Flagler Street, a downtown Miami area where major banks and foreign currency exchanges are found. There's already a Jamaican shopping center here featuring curried goat and cow foot, spicy beef patties, a reggae record Shop, a Jamaican tailor.
