Sorrento Home Destroyed By Fire After Permit Issue
A fire destroyed the Fred Coleman house south of Sorrento on Route 437 with only the brick chimney remaining. No one was home and the cause is unknown. Firemen could not enter without a signed entry permit, which Coleman had not filed, prompting local warnings about signed slips and donations to the Sorrento Volunteer Fire Department.

Miami Herald reports fifty million pounds of pesticides poured on Florida land and water annually, with DDT and by products highest in the Apopka-Beauclair Canal area. Studies link residues to fish and bird impacts, including thinner eggshells and altered fish behavior, while researchers warn human health uncertainties persist. Florida remains a national research center on pesticide effects.

Movie Picker: August Film Listings and Reviews
A consensus of regional reviews for films playing August 7 through 14 lists Devil's Brigade as a fact-based World War II unit story with strong ensemble acting but dull officers. Fever Heat and The Hell Cats are low-budget thrillers, while Up the Down Staircase is praised as the week's best. Valley of the Dolls is panned as mawkish, Journey to Shiloh is a dull western with mixed messages.
