Some cities have dealt with this problem by giving firemen another job assignment, such as building inspections, to carry out when there firefighting skills are unused, Siler said.

A statefederal moves into the community for two or three weeks of exhaustive examinations of local emergency plans, local resources and ability of the community to respond to an emergency. The first product is an action plan which outlines recommended steps that the community take realistically practically to make improvement in its operational readiness.

The plan also presents the support that State and Federal Governments can provide in bringing about improved readiness. Once the community government accepts and approves therecommendations an implementation schedule is prepared assigning priority to the approved actions to be taken. Among the most important recommendations made for Escambia County were: -Improvement of the warning system; -Augmentation of communication equipment to provide quick reaction time between the various departments and agencies of government; -A training report which outlined the courses of study needed by personnel in all branches of local government having emergency responsibilities and the simulated exercises such as the hurricane exercise recently completed. Tuttle has been asked to describe in detail to other Civil Defense directors the steps taken in Pensacola and Escambia County to obtain maximum beneficial results from the assistance offered by State and Federal Emergency Preparedness Personnel.

"We are suggesting this type of approach." am only saying that there have been different solutions adopted to the question of productivity," Siler said. Skipper outlined a home safety inspection program carried out by fire fighters in between fires. In one statistical exercise that boggled the mind Skipper produced calculations to show the city was saving around $5 million a year because of the efficient and "above average" performance of its fire division.

Chandler requested that the Fire Chief Lloyd Fleming available at the next session. Fleming, known to be sympathetic to the requests of his forces, is seldom brought before Council committees deliberating the fire pay issue. The chairman also asked for an in-depth explanation of the fire benefit package from the city. He requested the firemen to give the committee a "complete" description of outside employment of firemen. On the city job fire fighters work 24 hour shifts and are off for 48 hours.

goal announced by Crosby By BETTY JACKSON News Staff Writer The University of West Florida's goal for Action '76 is to 6,000 bring its students enrollment the "Perti which President Harold B. Crosby considers the most efficient operating size for the five-year-old institution. Crosby cited this objective -which he hopes to attain "as soon as possible" -during a breakfast meeting of the Chamber Commerce Gopher Club today on the UWF campus. UWF enrollment now stands at about 3,500 students who largely come from Florida's 28 community junior colleges, Crosby said. A concerted effort to bring this enrollment to 6,000 will be directed by UWF faculty member Dr.

Ralph Chandler, recently appointed special assistant to the president. The maximum, in Crosby's view, should be held to 13,000 students. This capsule description of the UWF student was offered by Crosby: about 93 per cent are Florida residents; 80 per cent come from West Florida and almost 50 per cent reside in the Pensacola area. The average age is 25 years and the majority are required to work either part time or full time to offset their educational financial needs. Of the faculty, cent hold doctorate 'degrees and more than 95 per cent have completed terminal degrees in their field Crosby said.

However, Ziegler said, if they are already in the war zone or under orders to go there, they will stay or be sent. He estimated there are some 4,000 draftees in the Army in South Vietnam. The he press spokesman said the September 1 troop target level of 39,000 would represent a 93 per cent reduction from the authorized ceiling of 549,500 in effect when Nixon took office in 1969. Asked if the 39,000 would represent "residual force," Ziegler said he regarded that term as "somewhat of a misnomer," However, he said the United States "shall keep the minimum needed to achieve our objectives," and that, in any case, some American forces would remain until war prisoners and those missing in action have been returned or accounted for.

Acceptance or rejection of the report is set for Thursday's commission meeting, with indications such action will not come without some intense discussion among commission members.

The board studied the problem for several months and this committee of experts have had it for two weeks. I think we should make a decision Thursday to allow actual renovations and negotiations to begin." Opposition to the recommendation is expected from Commissioner Sherman Barnes, who favors renovation of the Commodity Warehouse for two judges.

"I have estimates from two architects that space for two judges, chambers, secretaries, court rooms, holding rooms and ante-rooms could be provided for $150,000," Barnes said Tuesday.

The plea by wets that legal liquor would lubricate the economy of the county apparently went unheeded. in the Santa Rosa's 11 strictly rural precincts. Rural voters opposed the wets by a more than two-toone margin.

The 11 rural precincts voted 539 for and 1,084 against the proposition. In support of the proposition, the largest margin was achieved in the Avalon BeachMulat area where residents voted 101 for to 37 against an almost three-to-one margin. At the Rolling Greens County Club precinct west of Milton, the proposition lost by a vote of 158 to 105. The victory of the drys raised the ire of one blue-collar worker in Milton. "All those high-class folks voted against it because they can still drive to Pensacola and get their drink and they don't want anybody to see them buying their liquor over here like the rest of us would do," he reasoned.

A leader of the dry forces, the Rev. Joe Bamberg of Milton's First Baptist Church, expressed his delight at the victory Wednesday morning during a radio broadcast Wednesday morning. Bamberg expressed respect for retired Admiral L. C. Simpler, leader of wet forces, whom he noted had stepped forward to fight for his point of view.

However, Bamberg also made several ablique references to the fact that Simpler was one of only two or three persons that could be identified with the drive of the wets while drys had stood up to be counted since the onset of the campaign May 9.

The concensus was the report should outline eliminated proposals and criteria for the decision. "If the commissioners want to change the criteria, they can look at any of the proposals and our findings on them," Mooney said.

Final decision of the Bonded Warehouse, owned by Quayside Quarters planned as the first renovation in the waterfront area, was made on the basis of its downtown location, amount of space offered, cost per square foot, available parking, and promised completion Jan. 1. Second' choice of the committee was the Empire Building, which offers 20,800 square feet at a cost of $4.95 per square foot. Four year price would amount to $411,840, if owners do all renovations. Bonded warehouse contains total of 29,000 square feet at a lease price of about $3.57 per square foot.

Four year price would be $431.00. The additional space will be needed by county offices in the four to five years they will occupy the space until completion of the City-County Tower, Mooney said. The warehouse also has the advantage of parking facilities available for public use. The and Terminal has a total area of 26,000 square available tentatively for $564,000 for purchase and renovation. Lane indicated Wednesday that purchase or construction of any property would be very difficult due to the tight budget under which the county will operate for fiscal year 1972-73.

"Even if one of the purchase proposals was the best long-term investment," Lane said, "I don't see any way to squeeze several hundred thousand dollars out of the projected revenues for the county for next year." Whatever the outcome of Thursday's deliberations, the commission discussion promises to be anything but dull.

Zieger, while declining to predict that Nixon would direct further troop cuts in the future, told reporters, "We will have another announcement on this subject before Sept. 1." SAIGON (AP) The South Vietnamese government today launched its first attempt to retake Quang Tri Province.

More than 20,000 marines, paratroopers and armored cavalrymen crossed the My Chanh River along a 10-mile front extending from the South China Sea to the jungled foothills west of Highway 1. Lt. Gen. Ngo Quang Truong, commander of the operation on the northern front, told newsmen the counteroffensive was "going all right so far." Field reports said government troops moving along Highway 1 ran into heavy resistance in midafternoon, despite a successful push at dawn. Other government troops moving along the coast reported only sporadic contact.

Allied military sources predicted tough fighting ahead. There were no immediate reports of casualties. money into county property which can be recovered later and does not disrupt all county offices unnecessarily." One of the criteria for operation accepted by the task force was availability of the space by January 1, the date set for implementation of court revision. Lane said Tuesday such a date may not be possible to meet regardless of which location is chosen by the task force or commission. Several members of the task force indicated a preference for the and Terminal building, if the January 1 deadline can be set back a couple of months.

"We had to accept certain things as given in order to be able to come up with a recommendation at all," Mooney said. "If we had had more time, or if the deadline had not been set, the recommendation might have been different." A tentative offer to sell the terminal for $350,000 wss received by the committee. "This would take about three weeks to verify," Mooney said, with the estimate of renovation time set by Building Inspection Superintendent as about nine months at a cost of about $214.000. Some members of the task force felt the money spent for the terminal would be an investment for the county which could be entirely recouped at a later date.
