But this fall when she makes her debut on TV, she'll have two things over the little girl who did back in the early 1930s.

Allan D. Davis HMM 165 FPO San Francisco, Calif. Dear Al, This is a kind of newsletter from our street. I know even a 37-year old Marine Major in Vietnam had probably rather have a pin-up picture but your wife lives too nearby to risk the mailing and what's more all the girls I know are too much for you. Anyway, your wife makes trips past our house (o the post office each time the mail comes in.

She drives back by with a wonderful smile when you write and she holds up the letters. But if there is no word, worry on her face, and she speeds past, because she knows you are making daily helicopter flights, over enemy territory.

And to let you know that we are appreciative of your sacrifice.

You'd have to think so if you could see me hauling your son, Rad. around. He's a good boy, though, and honors his father, even to wearing his hair in the crew cut you ordered. He eats like a horse and is plenty tough yke his pappy and grandpappy, Allan Davis, who wrestled alligators.

He was told to rid the country of "counter revolutionists" or face longer military occupation, diplomatic sources said. Kuznetsov, a deputy foreign minister and a member of iiia Soviet party's Central Committee, conferred Saturday with Premier Oldrich Cernik before c'oseting for an hour with Dubcek and Soviet Ambassador Stepan Chervoncnko. The message Kuznetsov delivered from the Soviet Central Committee to Dubcek was reported to have been outlined in the Central Committee magazine Kommunist, that "the danger of activization of counter-revolutionary forces goadi-d by imperialist reaction (meaning the West) has not been eliminated." It was disclosed Saturday Dubcek pronrsed at a meeting of the 21-man Czechoslokad party Presidium Friday that he would "take measures to remove all obstacles to The Soviets have, identified "normalization" to mean "routing" of all anti-Communists and imposing of orthodox one-party Communist rule, Soviet style, before occupation troops are withdrawn. According to a 14-point version of the secret Czccho.slo-vak-Sov'et agreement being circulated among local party officials, the Soviet demands included suppression of "antiso-cialist" elements.

According to the Polish, Bulgarian, Soviet and also the Czechoslovak press, resistance to the occupa-ton was still strong in the country. It was not considered a coincidence that Kuznetsov flew to Prague Friday the same day Czechoslovak Foreign Minister Jiri Hajek returned home after more than two stormy weeks abroad. Radio Prague in reporting Hajek's arrival referred to him as foreign minister. But Hajek's future appeared uncertain in view of violent Soviet press attacks against him and a reported Soviet insistence in the 14-point Moscow agreement that he be removed along with Deputy Premier Ota Sik, father (CONTINUED ON PAGE 2A) I SPENT the biggest part of vacation riding Rad and other Gulf Breeze sophomores who are trying to make the Woodham High School junior varsity football team to practice.

"A Marine major who is a flier about equals a PFC in the ground Marines," was his reply. This may humble a major, but not a 15-year old who, and I say it again, honors his father as the Bible dictates. So much so that it makes this one wonder: here you are 13,000 miles away and Rad Davis never makes a decision that he doesn't consider vour wishes. You have done well with him.

Miss Florida Makes Finals Restoration and Preservalnn Commission. The commission voted Friday night to contact the State Road Department and request a revision of the construction program along Cervantes. Saturday there was some hope for the saving of the 100 year old oaks. Pat Dodson, Historical Commission member, reported contact with Lee, who said Brown, and also Tom Webb, district engineer, would be in Pensacola at high noon Monday to "inspect the trees, the road, and to meet with Historical Commission representatives." "They," said Dodson, "will determine if anything can be done." "Lee," said Dodson, "told me he would like to save the trees and hated to see the present plans for the four-lane highway destroy them. He said he would like to work out the problems." fa 4' 1 .3 TREES RAVAGED BY STREET CUTTINGS historical commission trying to save them INSIDE- OH, NOW, he's all boy.

Remember, I can keep the boys happy, feeding them, hauling them around. This, in my small way, is the thanks I offer for what you are doing. And for those who forget the fighting in Vietnam, the danger and the dying, I refer them to the face of Shirley Davis your wifewhen she doesn't get a letter to wave to the people on our street.
