The Orlando Sentinel, Tuesday, June 4, 1985 A-7 HEAT Italy signs new treaty with Vatican At Brookwood Community in Orlando, where two persons were treated Sunday, Dr. Carolea Oliver, emergency room physician, said it is "people who like to play tennis in the noonday sun" who find themselves in trouble. Construction workers and others acclimated to outdoor weather seldom have problems, she said. Children and the elderly are most susceptible to dehydration, she said, which can lead to heat exhaustion as "the body's thermostat gets out of whack." The Orlando Naval Training Center, with many recruits from cooler areas of the country, rescheduled many outdoor activi-. ties such as drills and physical exercises for morning or evening hours.

Officials of Southern Bell, with sizable numbers of outdoor workers, said they took no special measures other than common-sense reminders for their workers to drink plenty of fluids and stay in the shade as much as possible. The National Weather Service warned that the weather will again "put stress levels on confined livestock and poultry at critical levels by late morning until near sunset Tuesday." Electric utilities reported power use on the rise as air-conditioners labored against the heat and humidity, but the demand was easily met. Demand was still far shy of the record' levels during the January freeze and comfortably below the capacity of the utilities. The National Weather Service said residents should take these precautions: Reduce or reschedule strenuous activities to cooler times of the day; dress for summer lightweight, light-colored clothing that reflects heat. Stay out of the sun sunburn makes heat dissipation more difficult.

Drink plenty of fluids, stay in air-conditioned buildings where possible. Reporter Rose Simmons contributed to this story.

"In this range of heat stress disorders such as sunstroke, heat cramps, or heat exhaustion become likely and heatstroke becomes possible with prolonged exposure and-or physical activity," Dr.

Stephen King, state health officer, said in Tallahassee. He urged residents to "stay indoors and out of the sun and heat as much as possible or curtail strenuous physical activity." At the highest risk, he said, are the elderly, small children, chronic invalids and persons with weight or alcohol problems. Urban areas, with their heat buildup and lack of ventilation, are the most hazardous, he said. Forecasters said a large high-pressure system dominating Florida is stifling the vertical atmospheric circulation that breeds storms. Warm air that usually rises into the cooler heights is finding itself trapped under other warm air.

"The high pressure doesn't allow for any circulation so there are no showers to relieve some of the heat," said forecaster Burt Sylvern of the National Weather Service in Miami. "The air more or less stagnates, and the more it stagnates the more it heats up." Forecasters said the siege will continue at least through Wednesday when there is a slight chance of afternoon thunderstorms. Predicted for the Orlando area today are fair skies with highs in the upper 90s, lows in the low to mid 70s. The heat index the humidity factor was expected to range between 105-120 degrees. Central Florida hospitals reported only a smattering of emergency room treatment for heat exhaustion Monday.

WFTV From A-1 Cox officials, including Schwartz, first visited Channel 9 last Tuesday. The company sent financial officials to visit the station Wednesday. Tim Hughes, Cox vice president of human resources, and Walter Liss broadcasting division president, visited the station Monday to announce the purchase proposal. "We were surprised," said Clifton Conley, WFTV's general manager. "We were committed to make SFN a major broadcasting network.

Now we'll be part of a major broadcast group." Conley noted that Cox's broadcast holdings are much more extensive than those of SFN. Cox's television stations include WSB in Atlanta; WSOC in Charlotte, N.C.; KTVU in San Francisco and Oakland, and WKBD in Detroit. Radio stations include WIOD-AM and WA1A-FM, both in Miami. In Florida, Cox also owns cable Systems in Ocala and Pensacola and automobile auctions in Lakeland and Orlando. Upon buying WFTV last July, SFN had hoped to build a profitable broadcast subsidiary.

Last year SFN, the nation's largest of school textbooks, also bought three radio stations in Montana and television stations in Augusta and Columbus, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. "We don't anticipate that Cox is going to make changes," Conley said. "You don't pay that kind of money for a television station and say, 'It's broke, and we're going to fix it. There'll be no changes that the viewers will perceive." Conley said he discussed with Cox officials the possibility of building a new station to replace cramped facilities on Boulevard. "It would be fiscal '86 or '87 before we could put a new building in the works," he said.

Reflecting a trend of its competitors in the broadcast industry including SFN Cox Communications recently decided to be-come a privately owned company. Now the Cox family and Cox Enterprises Inc. of Atlanta own about 95 percent of Cox Communications common stock. Cox Enterprises owns a chain of newspapers, including The 'Miami News, The Palm Beach 'Daily News, The Evening Times Palm Beach, The Post in West Beach and The Delray Beach-Boynton Beach News Journal i 111 to "WW LJ -L La7 C7(u Jv Vf A ASSOCIATED PRESS VATICAN CITY Italy aijd the Vatican on Monday put in force a revised treaty that curbs many of the privileges granted the Roman Catholic Church in 1929 by Benito Mussolini, the Fascist dictator. In a televised ceremony, Premier Bettino Craxi and the Vatican's secretary of state, Cardinal Agostino Casaroli, signed documents which set forth the new relationship between the church and the republic.

The Italian Parliament has ratified the revision," The agreement came after nine years of negotiations, a period that saw Italy accept social norms opposed by the church. For example, divorce and abortion both strongly denounced by the Vatican are now legal in Italy. The old pact stated that marriages could not be dissolved. Under the revision, Roman Catholicism is no longer Italy's state religion. The updated agreement also includes changes in religious education for Italian schoolchildren.

Formerly, Italians had to request that their children be exempt from religion lessons in school. Now, parents who want Catholic instruction for their children will have to ask for it. The treaty does not change the Vatican's status as an independent state run by the pope, and the Vatican retains some privileges.
