Item 5.   Other Events.

       In  Item  1(a) of the Company's Form 10-Q for the  quarter
ended  September  30,  1995, reference  was  made  to  a  pending
investigation  and  legal  proceeding  with  the  Federal   Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission (the "EEOC").  In Item 1(b)  of
such  Form  10-Q, reference was made to a purported class  action
filed against the Company in the Federal District Court in Tampa,
Florida  (the "Court") involving alleged violations of Title  VII
of the Federal Civil Rights Act and certain Florida laws.

     On or about November 28, 1995, the EEOC filed with the Court
a  Motion  To Intervene and an Intervenor's Complaint seeking  to
correct  what it alleges to be the Company's unlawful  employment
practices  on  the basis of sex.  Under the Complaint,  the  EEOC
requests  that  the Court, among other things,  grant  injunctive
relief,  order  the Company to provide back pay and  compensation
for  nonpecuniary  losses  resulting from  the  alleged  unlawful
practices, and order the Company to pay punitive damages.

      The  decision  by the EEOC in no way changes the  Company's
denial  of  the  allegations of the lawsuit or its  intention  to
vigorously defend the action.
