"The King is Dead!" Back in London the evening papers blared headlines but not for any old king who sat on a throne....it was Elvis Presley who had passed away. I sat in the lobby and ate up the stories. Our hotel was a cozy homey one. Breakfast was served in a downstairs dining room and everything went smoothly for a week. We were all happy when a new man was hired, an efficiency expert, and then confusion reigned till they fired him and all was peaceful again. Each day we rode to a different playbook house to buy plays for our Pirate Playhouse and mostly we took London's Underground: "If you see a strange packet, let it alone. Don't try to open it, tell the con- ductor, Inform the other passengers It could be a bomb!" This notice appeared along with the advertisements in the subway train. The ride on the elevators at the stations is so long, there's a little bench on which to sit doing down. Of course being built so far into the earth, the London subways were a blessing in wartime for the English to take refuge. London is as bad as Paris for trying to get around without getting lost.

However, a new station nearing completion at the corner of Sanibel- Captiva and Bowman's Beach Roads I / will be operational this Fall to service the area from Blind Pass to the schoolhouse and providing more rapid protection to all areas of the island. The station is equipped to combat all fires to which Sanibel is subject, utilizing among other equipment a 250 gallon tank "quick attack" pumper and a 750 gallon tank pumper used in conjunction with a 2,000 gallon tank truck. Fortunately, Sanibel's river, many canals and widely scattered ponds provide a water source in many areas as the island has less than a dozen operating hydrants. The Fire Control District, in conjunction with the Island Water Authority, plans to remedy this situation by expanding the hydrant system to include all areas requiring service within the next three years. To keep abreast of fire fighting techniques, members of the staff periodically attend the Bureau of Fire Safety's Fire College at Ocala, Florida which also provides training films shown during local "drill nights" held the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month.

Offshore sailing school: Rx for sailing fever bybetsey mallett If sailors have more fun, then they also work harder than most boaters. I visited Steve Colgate's Offshore Sailing School at South Seas Plantation and spent the morning in on-water instruction on a 27' Soling in the blue waters just off Captiva. What a way to go to school! The Offshore Sailing School on Captiva is one of six such schools run by owner and director Steve Colgate. Similar sailing instruction is available on Hilton Head . Island in South Carolina, Martha's Vineyard, Sarasota, Chestertown, Maryland and Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. For over thirteen years, these sailing schools have provided sailors with an expert knowledge of sailing craft, in combination with a first class vacation The Offshore Sailing School has two 27' Solings for on-water instruction. time.
