THE 8TA.R Published In Port St. Joe But Devoted To the Con- tinued Development of Gulf County K ~ PORT ST. JOE A, Progressive Community With a Modern, Progressive Weekly Newspaper THE vog~uIA! %VillI-wngir- ---I-, "Port St. Joe The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" NUMBER I I Ng I M " PORT ST. JOE. FLORIDA THURSDAY, JUNE 2, 1955 ETAOIN SHRDLU Trexler tires After 5 by WESLEY R. RAMSEY Took another flying lesson Sunday afternoon. I am now a seasoned veteran with 2% hours of instruction. Of course, I have a few more hours as a passenger. Sunday we flew up to 8,000 feet, the first time I had been this high, to practice some turns and stalls. You know how hot a day it was Sunday, but at 3,000 feet its sorta chilly. Anyhow we practiced stalls and turns and tried to learn to keep the nose up on a turn and to keep the nose low enough, while keeping it up, so that the plane wouldn't lose any speed. The hardest thing is to take a 180 degree turn or a 90 degree turn and know when you have turned that many de- grees. I'll have to tell you now, when you get up 3,000 feet and start turning this way and that you don't know which way you are headed. - Anyhow, on the way back to the airport at Apalach, Paul Player, the instructor, instructed me that I could make the land- ing approach. Of course, this tickled me no end. Here an eve- ning had been spent learning turns and now I could use them and get in some glide practice, too. 1Well, we aiAc- the approach and were about 100 feet from the end of the runway and 200 feet off the ground when Paul said, "Ok, take her on in". "Man, you crazy fool" we said, "you take this thing". "Go on," he said "you can land it". Now brother, I'll tell you that is a sickening feeling. Here I had never even tried to land the thing before, and here was that hard, hard, hard, hard concrete runway rushing up at me at 60 miles per hour and I was expect- ed to straighten out at exactly the right time and ease down on it with all three wheels at; the same time. Well friend, I'm still here to- day to tell you that I did it. I mean I didn't even bounce once and that crate set down just so pretty. Confidentially, the darn things practically land them- selves, which surprised the life out of me. Did you ever notice how How- ard McKinnon sorta, halfway, nearly bout waddles like a duck when he walks. Did you ever wonder why he waddles, er a walks, like that? I'll tell you, his waist line will give you a clue. I went out to the barbecue that the Railroad Company threw in honor of L. J. Trexler who retir- ed on May 31, and I tell you for certain sure that Howard Mc- Kinnon can eat more barbecued chicken and spare ribs than any white boy I know. After a bout with a dinner plate like he had Tuesday night, he couldn't do anything but waddle. If the Railroad Company gives a feet like that every time any- body retires, they'll have hall the old hands like Bernard and Stets Pridgeon, Tom Alsobrook, J. 0. Baggett and Joe Sharit retiring just to get a big feed like that one Tuesday night. Out at the water plant Tues- day afternoon taking the pictures across the column, we tried to get Mr. Gladen, foreman of the job, to pose at the valve cutting on the water system. He said, "No sir, buddy, if anything goes. wrong, I don't want the people of this town to know who to get hold of". Well, Max Kilbourn who has been inspecting the job for the city put forth a brave chest and walked right up to that valve and grabbed hold with both hands and acted real (Continued on page 12) CONGRATULATIONS are offered L.

JOHN HOWELL Will Preach Revival - 4 - Rev. John Howell, a 1955 Grad- nate of Stetson University and guest preacher for Youth-led revi- val in Long Avenue Baptist Church June 12-17, has been selected for a years study at the university of Edinburgh under a Fufbright Scho- larship. The young Rev. Howell will be remembered by many in Port St. Joe from his visit with the Long Avenue Church on a similar revival last summer. Young Howell, an outstanding senior at Stetson University, pre- viously had been granted a Wood- row Wilson Fellowship for a year's study at the Harvard University Schocl of Religion. The FuTlright award came on the same day that Howell received the Charles Pafford, Jr. Memorial Tro- phy as the outstanding senior man on the ,Stetson campus. He also received the Phi Alpha Theta award for having the highest average grade in history for his four years at Stetson, and is listed in "Who's Who in American Colleges and Uni- versities." In addition to his scholastic achievements, Howell has been ac- tive in campus social, political and religious activities. His long range plan is to enter Southeastern Seminary in Wake Forest, North Carolina, 'but the newest award leaves him undecided as to what steps he will take after his year at Edinburgh. The Fulbright grant provides tuition, books, travel and approxi- , mately $1,000. He will sail from New York on the Queen Elizabeth Sentpember 14 f ----- --__- .. MILTON JONES Assisting Rev.

Mr. Trexler, who is 69 years of age had worked for a total of 21 different roads during his career, all the way from the Pacific to the Atlantic Oceans and from his na- tive home in Iowa to the Gulf of Mexico. Trexler was honored ,by the AN Company Tuesday night with a bar- becue at the Centennial Building which was attended ,by all local railroad employees.

"'' Soft Water For City Is Finally A Reality The long-awaited new water sys- s tepm for Port St. Joe became a real- ity yesterday morning when the water from the new water system Sas turned into the city mains for consumption.

By that we mean that the old an continued water contained 200 more hard par- (/ photo) tiles to the drop than the new wa- ter does according to a chemical' S .... analysis. ".-. :.5 Engineers for the firm construct- ing the new system warn the citi- zens that it will be approximately two or three months before all of the iron deposits are out of the-wa- ter completely. They also warn that for a week' or two, the deposits will be possible even more preva- lent in the water due to the fact that a chemical is being sent thru the lines to clear out the iron de- posits. The water will still have its soft qualities during this pro- cess. c The new plant, which cost the city $93,000.00 has two 3.50 gallon a minute pumps that are capable '. -, of being stepped to about 450 gal- lons per minute each.

The spoken word is given scant attention; the printed word is th, urhtfully weighed. The spoken word barely asserts; the printed word thoroughly convinces. The spoken word is lo.'t; the printed word remains. The first part of last week, Bay County said, "Yes sir, neighbor, you can have Mexico Beach. We won't do a thing to keep you from getting it. Then all of a sudden, they change their mind. Representative Frank Allen told a Gulf County delegation, "If the Board of Coun- ty Commissioners don't object, I'll vote for the measure." Then all of a sudden on another day he says, "I won't vote for giving Gulf County even a grain of Bay County sand!" or words to that effect. We won't say what probably was the factor that changed his mind. We say that the Bay County boys are being just a bit hoggish. A whole lot hoggish, if you want to know the truth. Last year, Bay County drained the property owners of Mexico Beach for $19,090.00 in taxes and gave back practically no services in return for the tax money. They received the sum to- tal of the use of two county trucks for a day or two to haul some clay for the $19,090.00. Do you call that fair, Mr. Bay County Commissioner? We don't. Mexico Beach residents had to buy their own fogging machine to spray for mosqui- toes and buy their own insecticide. Bay County have the Mexico Beach area, then we are sorry said ignore, Commissioners practically laughed in their face for what we say. If not, we wish we could have when Mexico Beach residents asked for insecti- cides to spray their area. They. ask for the pro- tection of a deputy sheriff in their area and are told that "the cost is prohibitive". We dare you,, Mr. Bay County Commissioner, to let the people of Mexico Beach vote on whether or not they want to remain in your County. And then we get on the school subject., The - children of Mexico Beach go to school at Port St. Joe on Gulf County's finest school bus. And all because the Gulf County people are good neighbors. While it is costing the Gulf County tax payer to educate Bay County children, Bay County collects nearly $11,000.00 last year in school taxes from these children's parents and this year, the total will run up to nearly $14,000. We don't blame you Bay County, for not wanting to get rid of this gold mine in taxes for w--hich you don't even have to expend a red cent. except to pay the tax collector for collecting these taxes. No sir, if you can collect all this money in taxes and let the 50-odd children in this com- munity get educated without spending any of it then you are going to be just greedy enough to do it. You can mark this paragraph down in your little black book, though, Mr. Bay County Com- missioner. The peoples of both Bay and Gulf County will not let you get by with such as this for long. You had better start providing ser- vices in accordance with taxes collected or you will have to answer to the people. Last, but not least, the Port St. Joe Fire Department answered at least six calls at Mexi- co Beach last year because the Panama City Fire Department, which has equipment to spare, would not even come out to try to save some property that their county was getting paid to protect.

Vir'A 01ers Much I i ?r Trip By Mary Lou Chapman Virginia .. a state rich in history and natural beauty. Most delightful in spring and fall, the area also attracts many visitors in summer. A suggested itinerary might take you from Washington, D. C.. south through Fredericksburg, Richmond and Williamsburg and Virgin iareach .tn onrfnlr thpn west to Petersburg, Lynchburg and Roanoke; then north t hr o u gh Shenandoah Valley to Staunton, S '. ; cross the lue Ridge Mountains to S... Charlottes- .. vlie, and to S Washington .. via Skyline Drive. This Miss Chap-man o0 u 1 d b e about 6o3 miles. Traveling south from Wash- ington into Virginia, you enter Alexandria. Alexandria retains the appearance and atmosphere of its historic past, and has many old buildings which bring to life the era of the American Revolution and the War Be- tween the States. Old Battlegrounds Fredericksburg and the sur- rounding countryside are filled with reminders of the Civil War. The Fredericksburg National iMilitary Park preserves trenches, earthworks and gun emplacements used by both armies in four great battles. In town are the law offices of James Monroe, the homes of 'George Washington's mother and sister, and the Mercer Apothecary Shop, preserved as it was in 1777. Richmond also is filled with historic homes and buildings. This was the capital of the Con- federacy from 1861-1865, and its battlefield park commemorates the struggle for the city. It is now the capital of Virginia. Williamsburg lies between Richmond and Norfolk. This was the capital of Virginia Col- ony from 1699 to 1779. The en- tire town has been authentically restored so that it looks very much as it did in the 18th Cen- tury. Among the beautiful buildings to see are the Gover- nor's Palace with its adjoining gardens, the Capitol Building and Raleigh Tavern. Also inter- esting are the Guardhouse with its collection of early firearms, and the Craft Shops where early American arts and trades are practiced before t'" visitors' eyes. At Old Point Comfort is an old ship museum which will in- trigue ship fanciers, as will Nor- folk with its fine harbor. The Great Dismal Swamp, just below Portsmouth, is eerily intriguing with gnarled cypress trees, hanging moss and winding canals. Historical Petersburg Petersburg again takes us back into history., re was fought one of the final battles in 1865, now commemorated by Petersburg Military Park. Farther west is Appomattox, scene of the end of the war and surrender of General Lee. Just south of Roanoke is the Blue Ridge Mountain Parkway (to Asheville, N. C.). Trails and pic- nic areas are provided at points of outstanding interest. To the north in the Shenandoah Valley are Lexington, the home and burial ground of both Robert E. Lee and "Stonewall" Jackson, and Staunton, which was Wood- row Wilson's birthplace. Turning east at this point will take you to "Monticello," the im- pressive home Thomas Jefferson designed for himself. "Ash- lawn," home of James Monroe, is nearby. The drive back to Washington may be taken via the Skyline Drive atop the Blue Ridge Mountains, completing an inter- esting and beautiful trip.

Why people who could pay more buy FOR D- More and more people who used to drive costly cars are being enthusiastically won over by Ford's Thunderbird-inspired styling and Trigger-Torque "GO." Whyi, indeed, psay more? Take for example, a person who had wages of $300 per month for ten ears and then suffered a stroke which incapacitates him for ten years before he reaches 65. Prior to the new law his social security payment at age 65 would have been basWd on earnings of $150 monthly. The new law permits this wage earned to make application for the disability freeze, and if on the ba- sis of medical evidence he is deter- mined to be totally disabled, the ten years in which he could not con- tribute toward social security will not be counted against him. His benefit rate will be based on the $300 monthly earnings which he av- eraged prior to the onset of his dis- ability and not on the $1150 level which would have been used prior to the change in the law. The old-age and survivors insur- ance section of the Social Security Act contains no disability payment provisions. However, employees who become disabled through ill- nress, accident, or other causes should remember to contact hteir social-security office upon becom- ing disabled to insure that their rights to future payments will 'he protected.

As Experts See Them What tillage methods can you look for next year and in the coming 10 years? What ought you to plan for? CROPS & SOILS asked farm leaders to tell what they see and have to say. A few of their comments follow. Jamison of Alabama says that with better chemical methods, plowing to run weed seeds under will be less important. Prepara- tion may include little more than mowing to cut down large weeds and trash and spraying with weed-killing chemicals. Willard of Ohio looks to "once- over" systems of different kinds being effective and used in pre- paring land for corn, at a saving in labor and no reduction in yield. He looks for no difference in the average depth of plowing. Thorne of Utah thinks future tillage practices will work toward greater efficiency. Many useless and expensive tillage operations, such as excessive harrowing dur- ing seedbed preparation and un- essential cultivation of row crops, will be discontinued. Duffee says the pressure in Wisconsin is to get more work done in a given period of time. Farmers are moving in this di- rection. In 1940, about half of the corn was checked and the other half drilled. At present, 75 percent is drilled. Mechanical weed control equip- ment in Texas may see a greater use of the rotary hoe, according to H. P. Smith. There may be a trend toward shal- lower cultivation with shovels and sweeps. Possibly, there will be a trend toward fewer culti- vations down to just those re- quired to control weeds. In- creased use of chemicals is likely, both for pre-emergence, and post-emergence control. In the wheat-producing -areas of the western United States, says C. E. Evans of U.S.D.A., tillage methods which keep a plant or residue covering on the surface of the soil offer the greatest opportunity for protec- tion from both wind and water erosion. COMMENTS ABO' TILLAGE 1. With better cl- weed control tillag, be less important. 2. It is easy to overdo age for corn and oth row crops. 3. Look for lower tilla," costs because of fewer trips over ground. 4. From standpoint of good soil structure, much i,.- age may be more 1.iin- i ful than beneficial, 5. Greater use of che-ical! nitrogen reduces need for tillage. 6. In wheat areas i-.c U.r'- I will be to keep a rV.-.t.:e or trash cover to prevtFn1 wind and water eroui. . 7. Pre-emerfget' hr'.r'.t ,e sprays reluc-e ned liA,- early cunltivtioit;. 8. There will be lesi plo,-- ing and more 1 :a riti-rs. idue farming jn dr- areas. 9. We may look for more wide-space corn into- planted with meadow or cover crops in hiuid < areas. 10. There will be more coma- bined tillage machines to do several things go- ing once over. Plowing inverts the soil and displaces it. Harris of Ari-'n.' says this often throwvs the land out of level and makes addi- tional work necessary to ,. .- tribute the water evenly. The trend is likely to be iowar. a knife-like implenen:eni v, ny heaves the soil and sita -l 's , end, allowing the air to ' late through, it.
