John Tetyak (center of group at left) Boynton Beach resident, is shown talking with two water sports equipment dealers from northern states who were intrigued with Tetyak's "Sea Skimmer." The model pictured is driven by a 22-horsepower engine and attains speeds of 30 miles per hour. Currently being manufactured in Kansas City, the Sea Skimmer's base of operations may be moved to Boynton Beach if negotiations by the city's Committee of 100 are successful. Chamber of Commerce Manager Howard Carrier said a plant manufacturing Tetyak's invention would employ 15 or 20 persons to start with.

A smaller Sea Skimmer is propelled by a six-horse engine and weighs 100 pounds, in contrast to the above model's 130-pound weight. The machine is constructed so that it stops running if the hands of the person operating it slips off the handles. It is steered by the operator's flippered feet.

Sullins, commanding office r-designate, gave the Jupi- tT Business and Professional Women's Club the information at Welfare Department doled out $81 million in I960, looked to its space-boom future today for more money to foot the bill for a rocketing population. In addition to the population explosion, Florida is faced with the problem of an increasing Influx of Cuban refugees from Fidel Cas tro's regime. Since February of last year, the Florida department as the agent of the Welfare Department had administered 100 per cent Federal funds to aid Cuban refugees In Dade County (Miami). Currently, a staff of 116 persons is working on this program to help more than 15,000 individuals with grants amounting to over $1 million a month. Although the federal govern ment is picking up the tab, Florida's estimated Cuban refugee population of 65,000 may be felt greatly by the State Welfare De partment in the near future.

The Census Bureau predicts Florida's population will jump from 4.9 million to 7.5 million by 1970. In the next few years it is estimated that $855 million will be spent in Florida on the Nova Moon project at Cape Canaveral. This is expected to create thou sands of jobs, which means more money in the state's pocket from taxes and it is hoped, more cash to help the needy. Florida is one of the states which administers public assistance, child welfare services and commodity distribution. But it does not administer nor supervise the general assistance.

This is the responsibility of the counties. The persons who benefit from public assistance are the aged blind, dependent children and per manently and totally disabled. With the exception of some par ents of dependent children, and a few of the aged and blind, these are unemployable persons. Racial ly, this group is about 46 per cent white and 54 per cent Negro. The Negro population in Florida is about 17.9 per cent.

The Florida Welfare Department says it does not discrimi nate because of race in distribut ing funds. Of the $81 million spent in 1960 on about 200,000 persons, approxi mately $75.5 million went to these persons in direct benefits, monthly checks for subsistence and medi cal care payments. The remaining $5.5 million pro vided child welfare services, food commodities distribution, services to adults, cooperation with other agencies and organizations, 1,300 salaries, operating expenses, and capital outlays. Old age assistance, with 69,700 beneficiaries, is the biggest case load under the public assistance program. The average person receives a monthly grant of M7-31.

To be eligible, he must be at least 65, be a citizen or 20- ycar resident, and have resided in Florida for five of the last nine years and all of the last year. He also must not have more than $600 in assets, excluding $750 cash value in life insurance, and animals or produce he may have for personal use. Racially, about 65 per cent of this group is white. This group also receives medical benefits. viewing by the public In the Community Room of the Community Federal Savings and Loan Association here.

He re- vealed there are 75 loran stations located at strategic points around the earth. The one here in a "slave" station, together with one at Nan-tucket, the master station being at Folley Beach, S.C.

A talk on English life was given by Tipper, who left Birmingham, England, four years ago. He spoke on Parliament, explaining there are 625 seats In the House of Commons and "90 in the House of Lords. He said England is the highest taxed country and people there are provided medical care from the cradle to the grave but not funeral expenses. A majority of medical men are in favor of abolishing the national health system, and not many new hospitals are being built. Old ones are being renovated because of lack of funds.

In segment, under the leadership of tems if Mayor Walter Dietz's request for a referendum is successful Monday night. Dietz, in a special notice to City Council Saturday afternoon, called a special meeting 8 p.m. Monday for the purpose of "considering a special election concerning expansion of the present sewer system project to an outfall sys tem." Dietz told the Post-Times, "The people should be able to speak on whether they want an expanded outfall or an activated sludge treatment plant. As I understand it from the meeting with the engineers (Russell Axon), two thirds of the city could he served with the expanded system." Indicating that a referendum would be the only way to decide the controversy, Dietz said "I believe they will vote for the ex panded system. I sincerely hope they do." The mayor said that if a ref erendum were successful the next move would be to get top flight fiscal agents to work out the monthly cost and the average cost per front foot on the lateral sewer lines.

According to former Mavor George V. Warren, tiere will be some controversy on the matter at Monday's meeting. Warren, now a councilman, said that if the proposal is put to a referendum he will do everything in his power to inform the people about how unnecessary he feels the action Is now. Dietz's proposal would give the voters an option of choosing the (presently proposed $500,000 age treatment plant, which includes 1,500 connections, or the outfall system whih would provide complete sewerage for the beach section and most of the rest of Delray. Total cost for the outfall has been estimated at something over $2 million.

Councilman Al C. Avery, long a proponent of the outfall system, backed the referendum move. The other two councilmen George Talbot Jr. and O. W.

Woodward, will in all probability back the move since they campaigned on a platform supporting a referendum on the sewage prob lem. The presently proposed plant is held up by an appeal to the State Supreme Court which opposes the bond validation granted by a local Circuit Court. Warren has been an advocate of an interim plant which would satisfy the State Board of Health's opposition to the city's dumping raw sewage into the In- tracoastal Waterway.
