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-

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. Harbour
