CHURCH Services: And says he is very proud Sunday Morning 11:00 AM to be the f ir'st newspaper to Youth Group (Sunday) 6:30 PM release an interview concern- Sunday Evening 7:30 PM ing Mr. Theodore Pratt's Thursday, Prayer Service 7:30 PM book, "The Barefoot Mailman".

! EXCLUSIVE 1 The following article will not be released by any pub- ' lication until Sunday, November 14th, however, The Pelican has been given the honor, by Mr. Theodore Pratt, to publish it today. It is presented in its entirety. #### Theodore Pratt's Florida historical novel, "The Barefoot Mailman," has become well known enough for legends to be circulated about it and its author. Mr. Pratt, who lives at Boca Raton, has heard so many of these fantastic tales about himself and his book that he thinks it is time to set them straight. Interviewed at his home, he listed some of them, with his replies. Mr. Pratt was astounded to hear that he lives on an island at Boca Raton reached only by a drawbridge. The author says he wishes he did. He can't imagine how this story started, unless the island of Hypoluxo, which is pictured in the book, has been confused with his own home. Another tale has it that the author livea on a luxurious yacht moored in Lake Booa Raton. He lives in a regulation house there. In the lake he has a ten foot sailing skiff that is so far from being a yacht that fee says, "It takes my breath away." Each year, so another story goes, the author takes the barefoot mailman's walk along the beach from Palm Beach to Miami. Mr. Pratt says, "No, thanks. I did it once in preparation for writing the book; that was enough; it nearly killed me; those wonderful old boys had more than I have for legs. Some of thorn are still living up and down the coast." Mrs. Pratt is the original of Adie in the novel. This tale infuriates the author's wife to quite some extent, for Adie, who was 19 in 1887, would now be around 80, and Mrs. Pratt has some way to go before reaching that age. • A feature story recently appeared in a Florida paper stating that the author wrote "The Barefoot Mailman at Pompano Beach. Mr. Pratt wrote it in the section of Boca Raton called Floresta, where he now lives and owns a home. The book is being made into a movie. Hot true, says the author. He had a movie offer for the bock, but being his favorite of the 16 novels he has written, he stipulated that the picture would have to be made in Florida, on the actual Florida beach. This proved too costly. Mr.Pratt hopes that some day it may be done. Seeing the gorgeous Florida beach in color would bring many new tourists and settlers, as have the writer's many color-illustrated magazine articles about Florida. One woman has been going around paying that the novel is not the real life of James Hamilton, a barefoot ftailman who lost his life carrying (Continued on Page 2)

the mail. Mr. Pratt says it is not supposed to be anything of the kind. As clearly stated in his foreward to the book,certain factual incidents are used as springboards to present a good story instead of a dry history. Critics have hailed the book as an authentic Florida Classic, and it is listed high as recommended Florida literature by Professor A. J. Hanna of Rollins College. Another story that has come back to the author claims- that Steven Dohanos, the artist who painted the excellent murals depicting the barefoot mailman in the West Palm Beach Post Office, took his data from Mr. Pratt1 s novel. The author says this is not ^rue./'It so happened that Steve Dohanos and I, each unknown to the other, were working on our projects at the same time. Only after both were finished did we learn this, and then we beat our heads, for we could have saved our- selves a lot of research work by pooling our data." The story Mr. Pratt likes least of all claims that his book is out of print and unobtainable. This is emphatically untrue. A sixth edition has just been printed, on better paper than the wartime editions permitted, and with a brand new, improved binding. It is a pretty sorry Florida bookstore that has not a supply for sale. Many tourists buy the book to take home with them and local people find it an excellent Florida gift on all occasions. Theodore i'ratt is not angry at the erroneous tales about him and "The Barefoot Mailman." "I'm flattered," he says, "that such an interest is taken in the book. But I've stopped believing all the stories I hear about myself,1'

~~As a candidate for re—election, it is my considered opinion that the electors~~

~~are entitled to know something of how a candidate stands on public matters.~~

~~The conduct of the office of Clerk, Treasurer, Tax Collector, Ta> Assessor,~~

~~Budget Officer, etc, over the past year is now a matter of record. Likewise any extra~~

~~ciirricular duties such as publicity and publishing of Brochures, handling of Chamber~~

~~of Commerce correspondence, preparation and publication of financial statement, nogc—~~

~~tiations over the Airfield, etc, should now be of general public knowledge. If there~~

~~is still considerable work to be accomplished in the matter of tax roll and property~~

~~records, it can be attributed to the abnormal work load now imposed on this office,~~

~~and the fact that the records department, with discrepancies dating back in some caces~~

~~S3 years, is in itself a one man's job of considerable duration.~~

~~As to other matters affecting the policies and administration of the Town*3~~

~~affairs, I sutfait the followings~~

~~Since there were three times as many special meetings as regular meetings in~~

~~1048, I feel there should be more frequent regular meetings of the Council - at least~~

~~tub a month, possibly more, those attending to be paid on a per meeting basis.~~

~~There is a strong need for an Adrainistratior. and Finance Committee. At present~~

~~there is a Police, Fire, ITater, and other Standing Cotmitteos, while the Oorarittce~~

~~that is usually the most important one of any private industry, namely, Administration~~

~~and Finance, is lacking.~~

~~All Standing Committees should hold periodic meetings, in co-ordination with~~

~~Bepartment Heads, at leapt once a month, possibly twice, as-the need might be.~~

~~I don't feel that any man should run for Town office if ho knows in advance~~

~~that he will be out of Town and unable to attend Council and Committee Meetings for a~~

~~period longer, than three months total in any one year or more than two months conse-~~

~~cutively, nor do I think any man should run for office if he feels he is unable to~~

~~give liberally of his time to the Town's affairs or Committees.~~

~~I think a line and staff chart should be compiled, such.as is used by the Army,~~

~~Civil Service, and modern business and industry generally, shewing the specific duties~~

~~and responsibilities of all Town employees not covered by the Charter or Ordinances,~~

~~and showing to whom the employee is directly responsible. '~~

~~It is my opinion that in fixing salaries, due consideration should be .given~~

~~to the number of duties and amount of responsibilities attached to the job.~~

~~The Town Clerk, in the past ten months, has distributed nore than 2,COO Torm~~

~~of Roea Ifaton Rrofihvn-fif!. srvi VIJVR -rp.r.p.ivFid rarer Tnn inmiW™ n^i™o<.o,i +„ +t-,« n. definitely feel that the time has now arrived for aiding and abetting the formation~~

~~of a Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce or Board of Trade to assume, this function, as well aa other functions normal to such a body.~~

~~There are various Improvements needed to the general welfare and to the i»-~~

~~mediat® growth of the Town, such as the opening of all streets between Boca HatoA~~

~~Road and Royal Palm Road, from the Federal Highway to the Inland T7aterway, in order~~

~~to open the heart of the Town; also Improvement to the existing Public Beach^ es-~~

~~pecially as to dressing rooms and toiiots; the development of Public boat dockagej~~

~~increased water supply to Pearl City, district; additional street lighting and repairs~~

~~wherever needed^ etcf There are ncwQsDnger surplus funds for this purpose and to~~

~~raise this surplus through taxation would take sows years; It is to toe hoped that~~

~~a •windfall in the way of surplus fun~~

~~tiations are successfully concluded. Failing in that method, I stand definitely in~~

~~favor of an increased Bond issue to get these things done NOW rather than risk remain-~~

~~ing static for year3 more to come,~~

~~1 believe that the first BDV& of the Planning Board upon release of the Air-~~

~~field by the Government should be to re-establish a commercial and industrial sono~~

~~for light industries. Although strict and intelligent zoning laws are necessary for~~

~~the growth of a good community, 1 "believe that a smaller house of excellent design~~

and materials could well be a bettor asset to a comtninity than a larger one merely because of its sise*

We are living in a fluid, progressive world, Where all changes are not noc-- e$8arily bad ones, and good government mist be worked for to be accomplished. Nothing is so deadly to progress as the blind follovdng of precedence - right or wrongI

~~I feel that in every Budget, there should be a General Contingent Reserve~~

Fund (for storm damages, etc.) and a Sinking Fund should bo sot aside for depreciation and replacement of plant and structures, especially Water Plant, Those have not boon included in the Town of Boca Eaton Budgets and arc very important,

I also fool that the Finasco Officer of the Toro should sit in on ail CojmtLtteeg, meetings, and deals leading to matters of largo financial corunitments to tho Team, in- asmuch as he will ultimately be required to disburse tho funds and be accountable for same.

I believe that the size and potential growth of the Town of Boca Raton has reached a point where serious consideration should be given to a change in the form of gciptawmieat, such as. City Ifeuiagor type, in tho not too distant future. The
