OREGON el r i PONIES AID FUND - Misty, a Chincoteague pony of book and film tame, and her youngest filly, Stormy, are shown as they appeared at Fairfax City, Va., to help raise funds for the restoration of the storm-ravaged island off the Vir ginia coast. The Misty Disaster Fund will be used partly to buy back Chincoteague ponies to replenish the wild herd that roams neighboring Assateague Island. (UPI) Florida Opening Undeveloped Areas By FREDERICK M. WINSHIP United Press International The new frontiers aren't all in Washington. Florida, which attracts 12 million vacation ers each year and 3,000 new permanent residents each week, has had to open up previously undeveloped areas because its long - established coastal resorts are too crowd ed for comfort and too ex pensive for many Americans, especially those with fami lies. Since World War II, a super city - in - the - sun has de veloped along the 90 mile stretch of beach between Mi ami and Palm Beach, occupy ing every inch of waterfront property and stretching well into the interior. The Tampa St. Petersburg - Sarasota area on the Gulf Coast also is highly populated and avail- 4-H NEWS Westside Improvement The members of the West side Home Improvement 4-H club and five other 4-H home economic clubs were recent guests of the Knittin Kittens club at a potluck dinner.

Reporter able real estate is scarce. Thus, newcomers in search of a good vacation or the good life are pioneering the gulf coast south of Sarasota where the silver tarpon flour ish and Florida's occasion cool spells hardly ever penetrate. One of the new frontiers is the Peace River basin, stretch ing from Central Florida's lake district south to Char lotte Harbor. This is the state's largest natural harbor and is the location of Boca Grande, world famous for its giant tarpon fishing. Old West The range drained by the Peace River was once the cowboy country of Florida where beef cattle of the Brah. man strain were more numer ous than people. One of the river towns, Arcadia, still has more flavor of the Old West than the Old South and the landscape of the area is not unlike the cattle country of Australia. Eternal summer is no idle boast here. During the recent Florida cold snap, Charlotte County was the warmest place in the nation. Gradually the cou n ty, which embraces the mile wide mouth of the Peace Riv er and Charlotte Harbor, is being transformed into a gra cious playground far from the bikini belt. Near the up-and-coming county scat of Punta Gorda there are three typical multi-million dollar develop ments - Harbour Heights, Port Charlotte and Peace Riv er Shores - designed to at tract winter residents and year - round residents from the North. Many gulf coast residents are refuges for the aged, but Harbour Heights is a good example of a community planned for more youthful citizens with moderate in comes. Many of the residents are retired from business but still in their 40's: some still want to do part-time work and small industry is being attracted to the area. Howev er, play - not work - is the password here and the fa cilities for fun are generous. Country Club Harbour Heights, for in stance, has Its own country club, the farmer mansion nf a retired general, with an azure Olympic - size pool, ten nis courts and a growing- ma rina for docking pleasure craft. A network of boat ca nals extends through the community of gleaming white and pastel homes. Just beyond the marina is the boginning of a jisssw sys- tern of Islands which, makes the Pete River one of the finest tiif tuning grounds in Florida. When the tarpon are running in the spring, hel icopters spot the schools and radio their locations to fish ing parties. Just now man had8n, snappers, snook, sea trout, channel bass, sheeps head and groupers are plenti ful. Contiguous to the fishing area is 3.000 acre game pre serve, an adjunct of Harbour Heights? ir the pleasure of the small game hunter. There are a number of game pre serves and Hate narks in the general area with camping faculties and hunting and fifMng privileges during spe cific seasons. Charlotte county is reacha ble by car via the Tamiami trail, which passes through punta Gardo. There is regu lar air service to nearby Fort Myers and air taxis fly to Punta Gorda.
