Two of the winners never had sought public office before. The third had run unsuccessfully for the city council two years ago.

Two of the ousted councilmen Lawrence Earle and Robert Koons have been involved in recent controversies, and their defeat was not entirely unexpected. But the third incumbent August Stritt was thought to be well-liked and a cinch for re-election. Whatever the reason for the turnover, the five-man Port Richey council will have a new majority Jan. 1. The city is in the midst of some severe growing pains, and the new council will have a full work schedule facing it.

We congratulate the winners, and wish them well on their new assignment. Ordrd YOUR OPINION hearing were Associted Press officials and Pasco County Sheriff's Deputy Lamar May, who answered the call for assistance when the fire was discovered. THE AP said Artabasy signed a standard form when he applied for the news service and that the form released the AP from any liability for damages attributed to the machine. AP officials also testified that fires caused by the machine were extremely rare occurrences. Attorney Charles D.

Waller, representing Art Advertising will have five days in which to answer the AP memorandum of law. Timet Bureau DADE CITY The company that owns Zephyrhills radio Station WPAS has been ordered to pay the Associated Press (AP) $3,500 for use of the wire service, despite its claim that it was an Associated Press machine that caused the station's building to burn down three years ago. A counterclaim in which the station owner, Art Advertising sued the Associated Press for damages in excess of $50,000 resulting from the fire, was denied Monday by Circuit Judge B. J. Driver, who found in favor of the AP.

LESTER Bales, a Zephyr-hills attorney who represented the Associated Press in a breach of contract action against Art Advertising has been given until Dec. 18 to file a memorandum of law on the AP claim that Art Advertising owed it an additional $5,637 because of a penalty clause in the contract. The AP had asked for the damages, claiming that Art Advertising had not paid for the news wire service since Aug. 28, 1970. The WPAS building burned down Jan.

24, 1970. Robert A. Artabasy, president of Art Advertising said he arrived at the scene of the fire to find a back door of the building smoldering, and the only flame visible in the area near the AP teletype machine. Also testifying at Monday's A Rhyming Recap Of Crises And Mishaps Editor: This was the year of the Watergate, the Ervin Committee and acrimonious debate that jailed the plumbers. Nixon fired Archie Cox who left the job, his files under locks.

This was the year of Machiavellian moves and Nixon philosophy, "Throw your friends to the wolves." The energy crisis made our blood boil for this was the year of the shortage of oil. This was the year that the tapes were altered; but the President says, "I've never faltered in search of truth or illegal dough, but make it perfectly clear, I did not know."

Lahah sells his work at his shop, 19 West Darlington Rd. Last week, the Chasco Chapter of Questers visited Lahah's shop to see his work and watch the glass-cutting process. The Questers, a national organization, study antiques and search for items of historical significance.

Prior to the tour, the group of women met at the home of Alice Warnky for a Christmas luncheon and monthly meeting.

Rose Mary Woods deserves a medal for keeping her foot on the recorder pedal. And in this year of Rose Mary's boo-boo, We're for impeachment. LaRoy H. Purdy, Spring Hill Reader Offers Reason For Mail-Early Request Editor: I went along with the post office and mailed all my Christmas cards Dec. 3 at the New Port Richey post office.

All the New Port Richey cards were double tied and placed in the New Port Richey canvas cart inside the post office. It was the only bundle in the cart at 9 a.m. One card was for Gulf Harbors with the correct name, address and zip code. The letter was taken to Venice, 90 miles away, stamped (Venice, Fla.) on the back of the envelope, dated and returned to New Port Richey and delivered across the street three days later. I think the postal service could cooperate a little more with letter service than that.

No wonder you are asked to start mailing Dec. 2 to get the mail out on time. Walter H. Parsons Fuel Aplenty Predicted When Prices Go Higher Editor: Yes, it looks as though the fuel shortage is for us but, not for the so-called big shots President Nixon has sent Governor Ronald Reagan off on a world tour as his emissary for what, we do not know! Reagan will go to Australia, Indonesia and Singapore then back to California. On this trip Reagan flying in a huge C-135 Cargo Plane will use a total of 72,000 gallons of fuel.

Nixon has caused to be printed an alluring Booklet "The Western White House." In this Booklet he invites the big shots of most all governmental Washington agencies to use the Western White House for their various meetings. He lists among other things; You will enjoy, fishing; swimming; golf; bowling; bull fights; jai-ali and much more. Each round trip will use approximately 20,000 gallons of fuel. Meetings are already scheduled there for this month. The Pentagon says it will replace South Vietnam's oil that went up in smoke in the Viet Cong rocket attack this past Monday.

This gift of our oil by the Pentagon will be 18-million gallons. So you think there is a fuel shortage? My prediction: When the price of fuel gets high enough; we will find we have plenty. Just like our beef shortage. HOWARD BENNETT By RUBY CARLEY Of Th Times Staff HOLIDAY Clark E. Lahah has been cutting intricate and lovely designs on glass since he was 13.

Now retired and living in Holiday, he is still cutting glass and has made his garage into a shop just for that purpose. For years, he was a glass cutter at the Ideal Cutglass Company in Canastota, N.Y., and his work was so well-known that other glass companies tried unsuccessfully to employ him, including Corning and West Virginia Glass Company. "I BEGAN at 13 because the glass factory was near my home and I was fascinated by the art. I worked after school, on weekends and during summer vacations," he said. Lahah's work was both in heavy and light glass and his home in Holiday contains many fine cherished pieces he has done in both mediums.

In later years, Lahah became chief of police in Brooklyn, N.Y. Ten years ago, he retired and moved to Florida. For a while he operated his glass-cutting shop in Tarpon Springs.
