" , County Master Plan. Before coming to Sanibel the Duggers ran a dance school in St. Louis from 1949 to Judge Archie Odom, attorney for the Sanibel-Captiva Planning Board, suggested 1955 where they taught ballroom dancing to some 1200 students which at that time was that future decisions regarding zoning and density be in accordance with the Master one of the largest single studios in the U.S. ' Plan. It was further suggested that the Sanibel-Captiva plan be considered in the first "We will attempt to tell a little of the background of the three different types of round of public hearings on the Comprehensive Plan. dancing," said Mr. Dugger, "such as the ballroom dancing which includes the waltz The Lee County Master Plan divides the county Into twelve nodes of development, and fox trot, the tango, etc. Theatrical dancing which includes the Buck and Wing, the Sanibel-Captiva being one.

Now we plan to demon- strate as many of these dances as possible ending with, a demonstration of squard dancing put on by a group of old Sanibelites led by Old Doc Pickens who used to hold square dances in the Community House many, many years ago. It should be a lot of fun." The Duggers are old timers at dancing, - reports John Shepherd, program chairman. Bob started his career as an entertainer with road shows out of Los Angeles back before the depression entertaining people all over the west. Then he worked in movies with such studios as MGM, Paramount, Warner Bros., etc. before he met Cookie. His wife, Cookie Dugger, was also in the entertainment world having worked with the St. Louis Municipal Opera Company in St. Louis with none other than our own LeeRoy Friday. Then when the Duggers met and got married they opened the dance school in St. Louis which he mentioned. The Duggers, you know, have already put on several shows for the Lions Club here on the Island which were hugh successes so we are looking forward to this one with great anticipation. This exposition of dancing will follow the regular dinner and business meeting of the Association which is held at 6:30 for members of the Association only but the entertainment end starts at 8 o'clock and as usual will be open to the public at large. Date: Tuesday, Sept. 4. Time: Covered dish supper 6:30 (members and their guests only). Entertainment: 8p.m. (open to the public). Place: Community House.

Save 20%-50% On Our Odds & Ends Sale DINGS THINGS In the August 22, 1973 Fort Myers News-Press, Bill Miller expounded on the shortened duck hunting season in his column Outdoors. He explained the point-system of bag limits, which ducks and geese were not to be hunted, and briefly outlined the reason for the 10-days-shorter season; poor productivity in the waterfowl breeding pictures areas. This below-average duckling crop came about because rainfall in the prairie toss pillows pothole region was also less than abundant. As this column has been focusing on various refuges around the U. S., concentrating on the waterfowl production areas, lamps this week a pothole refuge will be considered, Agassiz National Wildlife Refuge, Minnesota. wall unit The first pioneers to enter the area now known as the Agassiz Refuge caught sight sculpture of great flocks of,waterfowl feeding in the marshes left in the wake of the last bar retreating glacier. These thousands upon thousands of birds were utilizing accessories "potholes," areas where lightning fires had burned through the prairie peat soils, leaving holes which filled with rainwater. These potholes were surrounded by short etc., etc. & etc grasses and wildlife was abundant; in addition to the waterfowl, shorebirds, moose, mink, otter, bear, wolves, beaver, bobcats, fox, weasels, grouse and prairie chickens were abounding. But man saw the prairie soils as rich farm land and attempted to drain them, which he did. Drainage ditches carried away too much water when droughts were imminent and too little water when the flat prairies flooded. Eventually, the water must make way for new table was lowered by the draining, potholes that had not been filled dried up, and fires rampaged. The Agassiz area was dried out and useless, and wildlife was no more. merchandise With no water areas for feeding or protection, the waterfowl went elsewhere. When the federal government acquired the Mud Lake Refuge (later to become Agassiz), the first problem was to restore the water, without which no wildlife could for our fall season live. A dike system was designed to impound water, and in this manner in forty years 24,000 acres are again marshland, growing crops for nesting and migrating birds. Forty-eight miles of dikes surround thirteen ponds. Fifteen species of ducks raise their young at Agassiz, making it the most productive refuge in the Mississippi Fly way. Thirty thousand ducklings a year are hatched! Yet, if the rains do not fall to fill the pools and ponds, duck production will go down. Without water there will not be sufficient food to sustain 30,000 new mouths, much less fatten them up for the fall migration. Therefore, the ducks control their Mon. -Fri. 9:30-5:00 Kveningsby iippointrnent populations by several means which wildlife biologists are working hard to discover - Sat.9:30-12:00 Phone 472-1591 - is it crowding or reduced food supply or water levels or territory size which limit the PERIWINKLE WAY fc CASA YBEL, SANIBEL ISLAND, FLORIDA numbers of ducks? When these questions are answered, man will be much closer to understanding the variables in his own population problems.

There's nothing as much fun as listening to stories about the old days at Island Inn when the Matthews family ran it and when the people who stayed there -{known af- fectionately as the "Inn-Mates") were like one big, happy family themselves. Many's the time tricks were played on unsuspecting victims and this is one of them: Hugh Bone, now a winter resident of Sanibei, and the late, beloved Stark J. Alt- maier, for whom Starkey Lodge at the Inn is named, were old time pals from school days in Columbus, Ohio. They spent the winters at Island Inn with their families and were often together fishing or walking. This particular day they were out for a stroll on the beach when Mr. Bone leaned over and picked up something from the sand. - "Hey, Starkey, look here!" he explained,^'This looks,like a piece of resin from my factory back home." Stark Altmaier agreed that it surely did and together they went back to the Inn to show off their find. Still puzzled over this phenomenon, Mr. Bone decided to mail it to th? chemist at his plant for analysis. In due time a letter came back informing him that he had been correct in his assumption. It was indeed a piece of resin made in his plant in a small experimental kettle which had been overcooked and had hardened to a point where it had to be chopped out of the kettle and disposed of. The chemist's explanation seemed to point to the fact that it must have fallen into the Scioto River, washed down to the Ohio River, then to the Mississippi and finally to the Gulf of Mexico where it ended up on the Sanibei beach. Hugh Bone actually believed this hoax until many weeks later when with great chagrin he learned that his son had mailed the piece to Starkey who "planted" it on the beach. Everyone at the Inn had been in on the secret. There was never a more fun-filled relationship than existed between Mr. Bone and Mr. Altmaier. Some day I'll tell you about the mannequin who didn't come to dinner. ftull find the perfect accent...
