The intent was initially there, but the Fort Lauderdale police chief discovered a loop- hole in the law allowing anyone to carry a weapon as a sidearm, provided it was in plain view. This loophole was closed dur- ing a recent special ses- sion of the state legisla- ture, and 1 can give mv back a rest from the fif- teen pound body armor I wore during that lapse of intelligence. Now, that does not mean my law enforcement task is any easier.

The bad guys will always have weapons (here, machine guns), and as long as people enjoy nose candy, I'll have a job. As usual, some press people blow up a smaller issue. The closest they have come to handguns or Florida, is watching the latest episode of \Miami Vice\. Maybe the alarmists can do some- thing about the new ser- vices tax and freshman Governor Martinez (a Republican, I might add). Now, if anyone in your reader audience wishes to debate the merits of the Gold Coast and the rest of the state, please feel free to drop by, and leave the snow up there. 1 have to turn over, I think I'm getting a sunburn.

Bank deposits are gua- ranteed by FSLI and margin is 50%, not 10% for stocks as it was then. What we must guard against is talking our- selves into recession or depression. Our econ- omy is still very strong. Demand for goods and services will continue strongly. If all of us accept the burden of less spending, higher taxes and faith in the American people and our leaders, we will start getting back on the right track. Hold A Fair Hearing! that just one year ago. Senator Kennedy (A.K.A. \The Swimmer\) praised Judge Ginsberg as an excellent and \openminded\ nominee with \a sense of compassion and with understanding of the law.\ Find those words mighty tasty now, don't you Teddy? The Supreme Court must be brought up to full strength. The President has quickly made his nomination, and it is up to the leaders of the Senate to begin his nomination hearings and in addition, they must avoid the travesty that was performed before the world last month at the Bork hearings. isn't it ironic that the people who fought so hard against 60 year old Bork will most likely be forced to bear a long term of office by 41 year old Judge Ginsberg? This above all else makes the Bork defeat easier to bear. water conservation ^o- gram last spring. The Nassau County Board of Supervisors, on which Supervisor Greg Peter- son and I serve, subse- quently voted to incorpo- rate much of the town's conservation program into countywide legislation. Supervisor Peterson and 1 are happy to report that the cortservation program has been a resounding success. Over the first seven months of 1987, more than 577 mil- lion gallons of water have been conserved in the six town operated water districts. Due to extremely favorable projections for future consumption, the town has been able to resume issuing letters of water availability to those building projects which will consume more than 1500 gallons of water a •day. As a result, the unprecedented expansion of Hempstead's ecoi can continue unimp This is good news for the residents of America's largest township. In addi- tion to the prospect of further reducing our town's 3% unemplov- ment rate—one oi the lowest in the state- continuing economic expansion will result in the broadening of our commerical tax base and the reduction of residen- tial property taxes throujghout the town. It IS important, how- ever, that individuals and businesses remain com- mitted to the conserva- tion of water. If we were to respond to this encou- raging forecast by return- ing to the wasteful practi- ces of the past, all of the gains made during the
