Johnson, both of Clermont; brother, John L. Hartley, Keystone Heights; sister, Mildred H. Bosley, Clermont; ASSOCIATED PRESS Wood-fueled steam plant at UCI scrap wood chips from forest were used at Florida prison. TALLAHASSEE Rising oil prices forced Florida officials to seek alternative heating fuels for a state hospital and a prison in North Florida. But while one wood-burning plant was an immediate success, a similar experimental plant 160 miles to the west has faltered.

Union Correctional Institution near Starke has been heated successfully since late 1984 with scrap-wood chips gathered from nearby forests. A larger plant at Florida State Hospital in Chattahoochee, however, is getting back on its feet after an expensive explosion but continues to be bogged down in a legal battle. Inmate labor adds to the success of the UCI plant, said Ralph Kenyon, who helps administer the project for the Department of Corrections. Working for PRIDE, or Prison Rehabilitative Industries and Diversified Enterprises, the convicts clean up branches left by logging companies, as well as harvesting the state's own lumber. The department spent $3.6 million to convert UCI's two oil- and gas-burning boilers, which do the same job with chunks of wood.

Kenyon declined to quote statistics on savings until the plant has operated for a full year because he said month-to-month figures can be deceiving. However, the UCI plant looks like a shining achievement compared with Florida State Hospital's alternative-fuel heat factory. Since its inception seven years ago, the hospital plant has suffered setbacks that included an explosion that put the five boilers out of service for a year, costing the state's insurance company $121,000. Repairs have been made and improvements are planned, said Jim Bullard of the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services, which operates the hospital. Now that the plant is running again, the future looks bright, he said.

"We all know what's going to happen with oil prices in the future and we'll be ready. We always looked at it as a research and development project," Bullard said. Still unresolved, however, is a lawsuit filed by Southern Energy which built an $8.5 million factory to produce the heating fuel wood-based "biomass" pellets. Attorney DuBose Ausley, representing the Independence, company, says the state broke its promise to buy 50,000 tons a year of the energy-packed pellets, which also contain organic garbage. Settlement negotiations have failed several times on the brink of compromise, including the latest, which was a $6.85 million offer by HRS to buy the factory near Bristol.

The $6.85 million figure stemmed in part from a meeting with lawyers and Senate President Harry Johnston, D-West Palm Beach, and House Speaker James Harold Thompson, D-Gret-na, on the second-to-last night of the 1985 Legislature. Former Gov. Reubin Askew is also involved in the litigation. HRS auditors found the money in welfare accounts that showed a surplus at the end of the 1984-85 fiscal year June 30. But Tom Herndon, Gov.

Bob Graham's chief of staff, said the proposal was withdrawn from consideration by Graham and the Cabinet last week because it was potentially illegal to transfer money from one fiscal year to the next. Ausley said because negotiations have failed, he will take his case to a jury, seeking a full settlement of $20 million. His case has already gone to the district court level. Even Ausley sees a bright future for the overall project. He just wants his clients to get back their money.

"The product is working great. It is cost-competitive, it is renewable. Someday, when we have another oil crisis, someone is going to look like superman on this deal," the lawyer said. MILWAUKEE Donald Abert, 78, retired chairman of the board of The Journal Company, died Saturday. Abert, whose career at The Journal spanned more than half the history of the company, became chairman in 1977 and retired in late 1983.

In Abert's 55 years, The Journal Company grew from a single newspaper, The Milwaukee Journal, and one radio station, WTMJ, to holdings in the communications field in several states.

Especially designed for nerve deafness. With the help of Waldron, Hartley and Ed Blackburn, a former state legislator and Hillsborough County sheriff, Petraitis was able to regain the civil rights he lost when he went to prison. On June 18, Gov. Bob Graham and the Cabinet voted to restore Petraitis' rights. Waldron drove to the elderly man's home to tell him.

"He held the order in front of him. He must have looked at it for a minute and then he said, 'Oh, Waldron said. A few hours later the elderly man was admitted to Williston Memorial Hospital. Hospital administrator Dave Kendall said Petraitis was treated about a week and a half before his condition improved and was allowed to go home June 28. A neighbor who had helped care for Petraitis was at his bedside when he died Sunday evening.

The sheriff said he had been concerned about Petraitis' salvation and had given him a book about the 23rd Psalm. "I talked to him about his eternal affairs. I told him what he had done showed that he had a soul and a life after this," Hartley said. "He told me when he was in the hospital that all that mattered was him and Jesus and God," Hartley said. Hartley also asked Petraitis, who had said he wanted to be cremated, how he wanted his remains to be disposed of.

"I suggested the Suwannee River that runs through the Boys Ranch and he said that would be perfect," Hartley said. i9i E-50 On July 11, 1931, Petraitis and his cousin, Tony Klim, 21, shot and killed a Windsor, grocer during a robbery. Both men were sentenced to death, but later had their sentences commuted. Petraitis was freed from prison in 1948 and worked in Connecticut as a baker a trade he learned in prison until his retirement in 1972. "He saved and saved and saved.

He denied himself comforts during his lifetime so he could save money to help young people," Hartley said. Ed Waldron, vice president for financial development for the Florida Sheriffs Youth Fund, said he was impressed by Petraitis' knowledge and his gentleness. "This man definitely was in control of himself and his life. He was a very gentle person. It was very difficult to relate that the person I was talking to had his past," Waldron said.

Because of his criminal background, Petraitis was afraid his donation to the youth fund would be refused, Waldron said. "He said the donation was to fulfill a promise he had made to himself to help keep youngsters from making the same mistakes he had, said Waldron. "This guy was a real hero for me. He had a certain sense of nobility," he said. "He left a real impression on me." FREE HEARING TEST Mon.
