Reindeer in Florida

LAKELAND, Fla. R - Ship ping a team of reindeer from Alaska to Florida is much the same as taking a bathing suit to the North Pole.
 However, that's exactly what a committee of Lakeland business men plan to do.
 The committee, headed by John Warren, voted to spend $16,000 for the team of nine reindeer, a santa claus suit, sleigh mounted on rubber wheels, costumes for elves and other items for Christ mas decorations next December.
 Ironically, all of this planning took place during 90-degree heat wave in Lakeland.

Dennis Egan Has A Busy Schedule In Honolulu

HONOLULU R "I came because my dad had to sign all the bills and stuff like that"
 That was 14-year-old Dennis Egan's explanation for the ab- sence of his father, Alaska Gov William A. Egan, and his role as his states representative at the National Governors Conference.
 "I don't really know if I should go to the meetings" Den his said in an interview in his hotel room. ''I might be in the way. But I think they'd be in- teresting."
 Dennis did not attend the open ing night reception and buffet at the home of Hawaii Gov William F. Quinn. But I'm going to go to everything from now on,' he said. I want to see what a luau HaWaiian feasD is and I want to see Vice President Johnson.
 How about meetings on trans portation or natural resources, both major items in the largest of all 50 states? "Yeah, those would be good, too," he said. "I'm in- terested in those"
 ''I went to a breakfast with Western governors Sunday where they talked about federal re- funds on resources" he said. Boy, that's a complicated prob lem. I didn't understand much of it.'
 CWestern governors considered resolution to increase state royalties on federally owned mineral leases from 3713 to 90 per cent)
 Dennis said he filled in for his father when, at the last minute he had a lot of work to do. The Legislature just finished and he had to clean up. You know, there: lot of work to do. I came be. cause my dad had to sign all the bills and stuff like that"
 The teenage representative travelled to Hawaii aboard the aircraft carrier, USS Ranger, ar irving Saturday. He's returning to the mainland aboard the car rier Thursday.
 How does he like the confer ence and the prestige of repre- senting his state? "It's a lot of fun," Dennis said. Eve been going around with a lot of gov- ernors' kids. We've been going to the beach and going swimming, even at night
 His biggest impression of Hawaii: "The waters pretty warm. You know, it's almost hot.
 "We don't go swimming very much at home Too much ice and stuff like that"
