Private School Being Studied At Buckingham Parents in the Buckingham area of Lee County have begun forming plans for a private school for some of the same reasons one was organized in Bonita Springs. "We're looking into the possibilities," said Charles W. Flint Wednesday. The Bonita private seventh opened Monday with 20 students. The school was organized during the summer by Bonita parents who objected to having their children bused to the public seventh grade schools in Dunbar Heights.

"Families out here are messed up with the children on different schedules and having to go to school in overcrowded buses," Flint continued. "I was called on by a number of neighbors to see what could be worked out in the way of a private school. So last night we got together and came up with some possibilities. But we would rather not discuss this now. "We have a committee checking into what we would be up against." Asked if he or his committee had been in touch with any of the Bonita Springs people, Flint said he and the others in Buckingham had not.

He said they began thinking about the school on their own as the result of public school "conditions." Flint said no place has been chosen for the possible school but it would be in the Buckingham area. "The grade level for the school is in the planning stage," he added. The parents will meet at 8 p.m. Monday at the Buckingham Community Center to continue their planning, Flint said. SAY IT WITH FLOWERS Carl Gurtha's FLOWER SHOPPE We Wire Flowers 3250 Cleveland Ave.

The leaders of both parties led their members down the aisle to be counted against the district plan on the key vote, which was taken by tellers counting the members as they passed with no individual votes recorded. Support for the district plan came almost entirely from Midwest Republicans and Southern Democrats who argued it would preserve the role of the states in a federal system. "If you approve the direct election plan," said Rep.

David W. Dennis, "you will be taking one more long step toward the destruction of representative government as we know it." However, a solid bloc of Republicans stuck with their leader, Gerald R. Ford of Michigan, who is one of the leading advocates of direct popular elections. The rejected plan would have awarded one electoral vote to the presidential candidate winning each congressional district and two votes for carrying the state. Direct Election Plan The direct election plan calls for eliminating the electoral vote system entirely and having the president picked by nationwide popular vote.

If no candidate got 40 per cent of the popular vote there would be a runoff between the top two candidates. After disposing of the district plan the House quickly rejected another alternative which would have made only minor changes in the present system. It would have bound electors to cast their votes the way the popular vote went in their state and provided for each member of the House to have a vote if the election deadlocked and the House had to pick a winner. At present each state delegation gets one vote. Offered by Rep.

Bob Eckhardt, the proposal was defeated 98 to 64 after Rep. Emanuel Celler, D- N. Y. manager of the direct election plan, called it "a mere pittance just one or two bites off a ASKINS' FLORIST GARDEN CENTER WIRE SERVICE 694-2525 New Location 4522 Palm Beach Blvd. Keep States' Role Flowers ByGINGER "FRAGRANT MEMORIES LINGER" We Wire Flowers In The Free World Nite Sunday OX 4-3188 2nd at Fowler ED 5-2571 least limiting it only to training operations.

Kirk Dubious Hickel and Volpe were joined last week by Florida's Gov. Claude R. Kirk Jr. in expressing serious doubts about the possibility of developing a giant jetport on the vote without harming the park and its environment. Volpe indicated his department might refuse financial aid to the project, whose total cost is estimated at $200 million.

Hickel said his department might seek a court injunction if necessary to protect the national park. Kirk offered an unspecified arrangement for relocating the proposed jetport to state land elsewhere. Interior Report Assails Jetport From Page 1 Burch Selected WASHINGTON (P) President Nixon formally announced Tuesday his intention to nominate Dean Burch, Tucson, attorney, to be chairman of the Federal Communications Commission. Burch helped direct the 1964 Republican presidential campaign of Sen. Barry Goldwater and served briefly also as Republican National chairman.
