All I can say is that she must be outof her mind," writes a reader in Sarasota who admits to being a Florida chauvinist. "I lived in Cleveland six decades and I say this gal is welcome to the cold and snow, the slush and sleet, and soot and grime, and the endless days of dark dreary existence in winter when one can't see the sun. She can have the stench of coal smoke and the colds and sinus.

Let her shovel the snow and spend her money for warm winter clothing and fuel. "THE FIGURES she quoted are so wrong. She complained of 85-degree heat at three in the morning. I claim it never gets hotter than 75 degrees at that hour, winter or summer. What's more, I can remember a lot of painfully hot summer nights in Cleveland when it was more like 98.

1 also remember the humidity of Cleveland summers far worse than Florida's. "Also, she claimed her water bill in Florida was $25 a month to keep her lawn green. That figure is pure bunk. We have a 100-foot lot. with a beautiful lawn and shrubs.

We also have an automatic sprinkling system and an automatic washer and dishwasher. Yet our water bill is never more than 7 to 10 dollars a month. "As for warm weather, that's what people come here to enjoy along with clear blue skies and sunshine. And it makes no more sense to go without air conditioning in Florida than it does to go without heat in Ohio. What difference does it make if your bill is for heating or cooling either way you're buying comfort.

"If that gal has any sense she'll come back to Florida and try' it for a year at least and discover what a wonderful state this is. The only reason I hate to write nice things about Florida is that afraid everybody will want to move down here and then things won't be so nice." IN THE WORLD of hobbies there are some that seem more appropriate for males than females. But the fact is that any art or craft should be considered fair game for either sex. A woman writes, "I'm a 52-year-old housewife and have always liked to drive a nail and smell wood. Four years ago my sister asked me to build her a birdhouse, so I built a nice one for her in a couple of hours.

My children were grown and I had a little leisure tune, so I decided to make a few more birdhouses for friends. "One thing led to another. Soon I was using my electric saw to build a bookcase for the library', and a coffee table for the living room. I talked my husband into building an addition to the garage and soon was spending two and three hours a day at the work bench. We live along a well-traveled road, and when I've made half a dozen tables or bookcases, I put them out by the road and sell them to passersby.

"I haven't grown rich and don't expect to. But I love making things of wood. When I hear middle-aged people say they're bored I don't understand for there are so many things to do such as woodworking." A GRAND HOTEL LAS VEGAS, Nev. (UPD-The new MGM Grand Hotel here claims to be the largest resort hotel in the world 26 stories, 2,100 rooms, five entertainment lounges, movie theater, 145,000 square feet of convention space. 31, "You don't have to worry about rhinos.
