At Miami, Chief Forecaster Gordon Dunn said the future movement of the storm remains "very, very uncertain, with the lack of a definite steering pattern. It has followed one of the oddest tracks we have seen in many a year." Flora's circulation was disrupted by the Cuban mountains and her top winds had dropped to 80 miles an hour around the eye. Once back in the Caribbean, where she can draw new moisture from the sea, she could quickly regenerate. Gale winds swirled 175 miles north and east to the ragged islands in the lower Bahamas chain. Before hurricane warnings were lowered in the Bahamas, 90 per cent of the commercial buildings in Nassau had been boarded up and preparations had been made to sandbag some buildings in case storm tides swept ashore.

Lyrica Version Of Blossom Time 'Refreshing' Creating a refreshing new version of Sigmund Romberg's "Blossom Time," Opera Lyrica of the Palm Beaches opened the season last night in their new home, Mathews Auditorium at Palm Beach High School. "Blossom Time," one of the most popular of operettas, has been adapted by Jules Gyon director of Opera Lyrica, from a Hungarian version. The sentimental story is overshadowed by the wealth of the glorious melody.

It is an echo of the love and romance and senti ment of a long-gone era. Saturday night's musical play began with a quintet, Kay Graham, Arthur T. Stanton, Douglas Bailey, Reuben Cooley, Irvin Griffin, singing "Hail to the Spring." Gyori, as Baron Von Schon-stein, joined the quintet, singing "The Serenade."

This directives includes not only deputies but also higher ranking men of the Sheriff's Department.

All stations are now prepared for a hurricane alert; some have shutters, all have hurricane braces. All stations are equipped with emergency power units in case of power failure.

By BILL AXTILL Post-Times Staff The county's juvenile delinquency rate leaped 40 per cent during the past fiscal year, but counselors say that doesn't mean the younger set is geting worse. A spokesman for the juvenile counseling division said several factors made statistics shoot upward in the report issued this week. He said more cases showed up because: There was better cooperation from law enforcement agencies. More agencies and individuals made referrals to the juvenile court. Population increased in the county.

Fifty per cent of the Central Borough's voters went to the polls. Roebuck was the first commissioner In the history of the city to take his seat as the result of a recall, according to old records.

City Manager Karl Riddle, however, had been recalled from his job in 1923 by a five-vote margin. According to city records, Rid die's "strong will power" was said one of the factors behind his recall. The bond debate which brought about the defeat of Watkins was not dead. Four years later, in 1939, four commissioners, Willis H. Hitt, S.

D. Morris, the late Ernest Metcalf and the late Ronald Ware were the targets of a recall precipitated by debate on how to get the city out of hock following the depression. All four, however, kept their seats by sizable votes. A. R.

On the recall ballot Hitt was opposed by William H. Told, Morris by Charles C. Kessler, Metcalf by Joseph S. White, now Palm Beach County Circuit Court judge, and Ware by John Zieg-ler.

His protest stated this was "not a proper way to tieat men who are doing their duty and who had a perfect right to be there."

A new system for traffic offenses, because of state law, resulted in more referrals early in the year, said the spokesman, adding that State Legislature action changed the law to reduce such traffic violation referrals. But the reported statistics did show a 40 per cent hike over the previous year and a 350 per cent increase during the past five years. On a yearly basis, county population has increased about eight per cent.

The other three incumbents kept their seat by 2 to 1 vote margin. The situation "got a little muddy toward the end, with personalities becoming Involved," Hitt remembered this week when asked about details of the election. The issue itself bonded indebtedness was "very complex," Hitt recalled. Morris said that he recalled little of the election, but he did confirm that the issue was the city's debt. Judge White, who lost his bid for the commission to incumbent Metcalf by a 1,021 to 554 vote, has heard court arguments in the current Williams recall fight.

At this point, the Williams recall election may never occur. He has appealed to court again stop the recall election which now is set for Oct. 22. And absence, thus far, of a candidate to succeed Williams increases speculation about what going to be entered in city records about the Williams recall move, 1963.

Such men as C. Harold Earnest, Harold S. Miller, Perry McCamp-bell and Willie Uhlfelder, all veterans of the city commission, have been rumored as potential candidates in the regular munici pal election in March. But none them have indicated any interest in the recall election. Their reason has been sug gested as fear that if Williams not recalled, and, as a result, they are not elected, their position would be endangered for tlv spring election.

Backers of the recall movement are not too concerned about lack of a man to put In Williams' seat. They maintain that the commission can continue to function with four men, or that the commission can npM)int its fifth member. The real point at issue, they say is the recall of Williams, not the selection of his successor. Legal opinion is that the court may become involved to force the commission to locate a fifth man, the court might fill the vacant seat itself. The City Charter provides no solution, for it is silent on the issue.

There was no report on storm effects at Nicaro or the nearby Nipe Bay port facilities which were built ostensibly to develop fishing but, according to refugees, were constructed actually as a submarine base. Stalled by an intense high pres sure area to the north, Flora thrashed aimlessly among the mountains of Cuba all day, then began slowly drifting to the southwest. Her long stay over land had weakened and knocked the shape out of the once wild and vicious storm. The turn brought hurricane warning flags down in boarded-up Bahamas, and worried Flo-ridians relaxed.

Two vessels perhaps with their crews and hundreds of dwellings were chalked up in Cuba against Hurricane Flora as the season's sixth tropical storm crept westward back into Caribbean waters. Havana radio said that "at Marina enormous waves flung aground the vessel '30th of November. "The boat 'La Caridad', com manded by Capt. Angel Infanta, has been lost and the fate of her crew is uncertain." The broadcast, monitored in Miami, did not give the size of the craft 1 or the numbers aboard. Marina is on Cuba's Caribbean (South) coast only about 30 miles from Manzanillo, where Hurricane Flora was centered as it appeared to be getting under way for another romp over open water.

The Havana radio broadcast added that at Bancs, northeast ern Cuba point where Flora feinted yesterday at leaving oriente province, "Hundreds of persons" lost their homes and vegetable crop damage was heavy. Five southeastern Cuban rivers Buoy, Yara, Mayari, Jieotea and Cauto overflowed their hanks in torrential rains and flooded or threatened communities in their vicinity, said the broadcast. In Flora's violent wake in the Caribbean lay untold numbers of dead and vast areas of destruction. Dr. Gerard Phileppeau, Haitian minister of health, described that Negro nation as a sodden trash heap, with towns ravaged and bodies floating in the streets.

Reports of dangerous flooding began to come also from Cuba. A hurricane, a dangerously low pressure system In Itself, tends to move toward other low pressure and away from a "High," which is a system of stable air that resists being drawn into the hurricane circulation. A "high" stretching from Nova Scotia down to the Florida Straits forced Flora's turn away from her northwest course.
