Lee show -- except for about 30 concert-goers who got parking tickets.

Force spokesman Sgt. John Dale said the St. George's show went "very, very well'' from a Police point of view.

But some drivers had ignored parking advice. The main parking area at Mullet Bay park was only half to two-thirds full, but areas elsewhere were full, he said.

DEADLINE FOR MANPOWER SURVEY FORMS SUR All manpower survey forms must be turned in by Friday, Labour Minister the Hon. Irving Pearman stressed yesterday.

Employers have a legal responsibility to complete and return the forms.

Mr. Pearman said while the response so far has been good, all employers, including self-employed persons and individuals employing domestic help should return the forms as soon as possible.

The reference week for this year's survey was from August 1 to 7.

Employers then had a two-week period to complete the forms. The grace period ends Friday.

Those who still need survey forms or assistance with completing them should go to the Manpower Office on the first floor of the Government Administration Building at Parliament Street.

HELP US FLOOD VICTIMS, URGES PREMIER FNR Premier the Hon. Sir John Swan yesterday urged the public to help victims of recent floods in the mid-west US.

Accounts have been opened at the Bank of Bermuda and the Bank of N.T.

Butterfield for public donations.

And Government has already donated $100,000 to the fund.

Noting that thousands of people's lives have been ruined by the floods, Sir John said: "The United States is our closest neighbour. They offered us help when we were hit by Hurricane Emily.

"As it happened, we were able to get back on our feet without much help, but we always knew that if there was something we needed, the Americans would be prepared to give it.

"I believe that help is a two-way street, and I urge Bermudians to be as generous with this fund as they are with others.'' PAMPHLET AVAIABLE FOR DOG OWNERS ALS Dog owners are urged to pick up a pamphlet that tells them all they need to know about their pet.

The informative booklet, entitled "You and Your Dog'', provides information on housing, feeding, spaying and neutering, Environment Minister the Hon.

Gerald Simons said yesterday.

It also contains a brief review of the new dog laws introduced last September.

The pamphlet is available at post offices, veterinary clinics, supermarkets, and at the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries & Parks.

Mr. Simons also took the opportunity to remind dog owners that the annual dog re-licensing period ends on August 31.

TOURISM RECOVERY LOOKS PROMISING TOU Nearly eight months of the year gone by -- and Bermuda's tourism recovery is holding firm.

Some 354,347 visitors arrived here between January 1 and August 15, a jump of 11.2 percent over the same period last year.

That amounts to 35,654 more people, according to latest Government statistics.

Air arrivals have shot up by nine percent to 259,005, while the numbers coming by cruise ship have risen 17.8 percent.

Last week, August 9-15, saw a 17.7 percent leap in visitor arrivals.

The 17,566 tally of holidaymakers compares with 14,930 for the same week in 1992.

And the rise in cruise ship passengers came to 40.1 percent.

The five cruise ships were again extremely busy last week, continuing the impressive trend.

Horizon and Meridian boasted respective occupancy levels of 119.79 percent and 119.11 percent.

Percentage levels for the others were: Dreamward , 111.54; Song of America , 104.60; and Crown Monarch , 94.

PLP COMMUNITY DAY `WAS A SUCCESS' PTL Despite inclement weather and a Police warning about noise, a Progressive Labour Party candidate labelled the party's first Warwick Community Day a success.

Warwick West candidate Dr. Ewart Brown said about 100 people turned out for the event at Warwick Secondary School Field last Sunday.

There were majorette performances, rides, and exhibits, and "kids had a good time''.

Dr. Brown said: "Police attempted to disturb the day because an unidentified neighbour at Tamarind Vale complained.

"They wanted us to turn down the music. But others (living) closer to the field did not complain.

"The day was for the people who were there so we did not turn down the music.

We were not going to be deterred by any unknown, phantom neighbours.'' Dr. Brown added that the community day, which may become an annual event, was one of many things the PLP would be hosting in the Warwick community.

But Police spokesman Sgt. John Dale said Police received several complaints about noise coming from the event and they were under investigation.

FERRY SERVICE HELPED BY VISITORS TRA Visitors to the Island have boosted the local ferry service by more than a quarter over last year.

Figures released by the Department of Marine and Ports show that in July a total of 56,264 passengers used the service compared to 44,490 for the same month last year -- a sharp increase of 26 percent.

On the Paget/Warwick run the number of passengers was up 50 percent -- 27,844 compared with 18,582 during July 1992.

The numbers on the Somerset ferry increased by 10 percent -- 28,420 for July 1993 against 25,908 the previous year.

TRUST OBJECTS TO PLASF FOR OFFICE BLOCK ENV The National Trust has joined a fight against plans to knock down a historic building to make way for an office block.

The trust is objecting to a plan to tear down "Overbay'' on Pitts Bay Road and replace it with a four-storey office and apartment building.

Waterloo House, next door, is also objecting to the plan by Overbay Investments.

Trust director Ms Amanda Outerbridge said: "It's a case of great concern to us.

"It's a charming old building, providing an oasis among all those office blocks.

"We're never happy with historic buildings that are demolished because they are clearly tangible links with our past. We're objecting to what's being put in its place.

"But there's no action we can take under the present system to prevent buildings being demolished.'' Architects for the project say their new building would have a "cottage feel''.

The present building is in poor shape, they say.
