Brent Firemen Answer 10 Fires in One Day Fighting 10 grass fires in one day is just too much to ask of volunteer fireman, according to an official of the Brent Fire Department. That's the number of grass fires extinguished from 8 a.m.

to 4:30 p.m. Wednesday by the Brent fireman's group, according to Robert G. Kelley, He warned that these small fires tie up the department's equipment so that the firemen would be unable to get to a major fire in time to save anything of value. Most of the grass fires are caused by carelessness of persons starting trash fires too near dry grass and leaving 1 them unattended, he pointed out. Recent high winds cause them to flare out of control in a very short time, he added.

He said one of the grass fires Wednesday in a sage brush patch near Goulding Cut-Off, Road was started by children. Another on Brent Lane almost "got away from them" and for a brief time threatened to destroy a "valuable home." Kelley said. Everyone Should -Sims Members of the Miracle Strip Chapter of the Florida Public Relations Association were told Tuesday at a luncheon meeting that they can best aid the community by "everyone selling the "And this includes gas station attendants, waitresses, sales people, retail merchants and housewives, in addition to public relation men, advertising men and chamber of commerce according to William D. Sims, guest speaker. Sims, who is vice president public relations director of the American National Bank and Trust Mobile, said that the people's attitude toward their community can attract industry.

He also cited several examples of community attitudes which he said gained, and lost, new industry because industrial men demand community pride and progressiveness in every way. Prior to the program, held a in the Cove Room of the Town House, it was announced that Clyde Graydon had been re-named treasurer of the association. Weather U. S.

(Journal Photo by Frye) Court of Record $50,000 Libel Suit To Continue Today By CHARLES REESE Trial of a $50,000 libel suit against a Milton radio station was recessed Wednesday afternoon after legal questions arose during arguments over a motion for dismissal. Court of Record Judge M. C. Blanchard said attorneys would meet in his chambers at 9 a.m. Thursday to complete the arguments.

There was some indication that Judge Blanchard was at least considering the motion. Former Santa Rosa County Commissioner J. Clifford Wilson, of Harold, had filed the suit against Milton news commentator Ben Henry Pooley and Clayton Mapoles, owner of Radio Station WEBY. Wilson alleges that Pooley, by innuendo, called him a thief in an April 28, 1958, broadcast. During that broadcast, Wilson alleges that Pooley asked, "'We wonder why the young commissioner from Harold who operates a fleet of log trucks from his home has used more than twice as much gasoline as the other commissioners?" Pooley allegedly quoted figures on gasoline purchases obtained from Circuit Court Clerk Ray Helms and pointed out that all commissioners have at or near their homes a county gasoline pump.

Wilson further alleges that subsequent broadcasts referred to him as "Super Octane, the gasburning commissioner from Harold" and made other remarks, which he contends are slanderous. The legal question arose after Wilson's attorney, John M. Coe, rested his case. Ten witnesses, including Mr. and Mrs.

Wilson and Mrs. Albert Golden, wife of ex-Commissioner Golden, testified. Mrs. Golden played tape recordings of some of Pooley's broadcasts. Consulting defense attorney, R.

H. Merritt moved for an instructed verdict of dismissal on the grounds the plaintiff had failed to meet the burden of proof. It was during Merritt's arguments for the motion and Coe's rebuttal that the question of whethor the case before the court is one of libel per se or libel per quod arose. The question must be decided Indianapolis 42 24 30 20 Data From U.S. WEATHER BUREAU Dept.

In general terms, libel per se is something which is obviously libel on its face, while libel per quod is something which may or may not be construed to be libelous.

Wilson Asks FCC To Revoke Permit -Journal Bureau Former Santa Rosa County commissioner Clifford Wilson of Milton has petitioned the Federal Communications Commission to deny the application for license renewal by Clayton Mapoles, owner of Radio Station WEBY here.
