Elaoin Shrdlu By WESLEY R. RAMSEY ~""-"'~' U I Upon a motion by City Commis- sibnir-Teom-Coldewey-and a second by Commissioner John Robert Smith and carried by a vote of four ,to one, the City Commission instructed and directed City At- torney Cecil G. Costin, Jr., to en- ter suit to recover damages result- ing from troubles with a roof on the expanded Municipal Hospital. Commissioner Barrier voted "no" to the suit, with Commissioners Coldewey, Smith, Nedley and Ma- yor Hannon voting in favor of the adtion- The suit action will be against E. F. Gunn Construction Company, Architect Norman, P. Gross and their respective bonding companies in connection with the roof. Troubles with the roof have oc- cupied the attention of the Com- mission for the past several months when it was brought to their at- tention that the roof has leaked for three of the four years it has been on the hospital. The roof is a 20- year bonded roof. The City has engineers to inspect the faulty roof and have been ad- vised that the roof is leaking due to a breaking up because expansion joints were not placed in the roof. The report from the engineers said that one "sliding expansion joint" was in place in the roof, but was not sufficient to take care of the large expanse on the hospital. An attempt was made to include the roofing company for the hos- pital job in the suit, the Thermal Roofing Company, but the company apparently is no longer in exis- tence. Estimates to place the hospital roof in good condition once again have ranged all the way from $6,000 to $12,000, according to what extent the City wished to take in the work. --Two Fire Calls Are Two Fire Calls Are - Pictured above are Babe Ruth League mem- bers with trophies presented for play in the Dis- trict Tournament in Tallahassee.

Graham asked the City to sup port, by Resolution, an attempt b: the County to secure primary roach funds for the four-laning of High way 71 to the Port St. Joe cit' limits. At present this highway i four-laned up to Marvin Avenue. Graham said that it was thE county's thinking to get the street four-laned in front of the new court house site in Port St. Joe. The City Board told Graham ol plans to extend the City Limits ir an Easterly direction by one mile They then passed unanimously Resolution introduced by Commis sioner Coldewey and seconded by Commissioner Barrier to request four-laning of the highway just be yond the curve in the vicinity of the Apalachicola Northern Rail- road main line track. Paving of Fourth Street Graham said that it was his wish to introduce the extension of Fourth Street from Woodward to Garrison Avpnue to the County Board to include in paving plans. He pointed out that there was, pre- sently no water or sewer services on this route, and asked the City to consider putting in these facilities before the street is paved. Mayor Hannon instructed water superin- tendent G. L. Scott to make a cost survey of this project. Drainage Project Commissioner Graham pointed out a need which the Commission has been studying for the past Answered DuringWeek month,, the draining of Chicken S U House Branch area in North Port Two fire calls were answered by St. Joe. the Port St. Joe Volunteers during the past week.

Hanson. t i hi c f t ,' We enjoy going off to visit with relatives and friends. We enjoy having relatives and friends bome and visit us. SHolidays, and the resultant day off give us a delight, whether , we can afford to take. a day off or not. But despite all this "enjoyment" and having so much fun visit- ing, spending a day at home, etc., we are glad that Labor Day has sounded the knell of quits for such activities for a while. Labor Day has been aptly named, since it is the signal to quit the Summer vacationing, playing, visiting, relaxing and get back to work and the sensible routine. And also so that you can begin earning the money to do your Christmas shopping. The slight nip in the air these mornings tell us that Summer is on the way out. We hate to see anyone being "pushed out", but we are glad to see Summer go. And if Summer goes, can winter be far behind? We hope not. And for those who are hard to convince that the season is fix- ing to change, Hurricane "Betsy" is coming along to give us a -forceful reminder. Let's hope she doesn't get into the Gulf, where she will surely' stir things up for us. And in preparation for this eventuality, we might suggest that you read the Gulf County Civil Defense suggestions on hurricane precautions printed in this week's issue of The Star. With the coming of cool weather comes football. What Port St. Joe has on tap, no one knows. Coach Taylor is ng his boys behind closed doors in preparation for the first eof the season next Friday night in Apalachicola. Only reports have filtered out that the spirit is good, the boys are trying, and there is some size available. But, on the debit side the reports also have filtered out that the game experience is prac- tically nil. But we will attend the games and give what support we can. And we feel that you are prepared to do likewise. i, D- al e t ?- y d - y s e t fE n In this area, drainage pipes put in to carry off this water are placed under the AN Railroad tracks at a level higher than the property to be drained. The results are areas of standing stagnant wa- ter in this area. Graham said the County wished to do something about this area through the Mosquito Control pro- gram and asked the City's coopera- tion in the porgram to the extent of furnishing a survey and eleva- tions of the area. Commissioner Nedley made a motion, seconded by Barrier that the City make and furnish the County with this survey. Commissioner Graham also ask- ed for the City's assistance in ex- tending Avenue A, Eastward to join up with Highway 71. Graham wanted a joint effort in construct- ing a dirt street at present with future plans to include the street in the county's secondary paving plans. School Board Asks That Suits Be Dismissed Request for Dismissal Turned Down By Judge S At a hearing in the Courthouse in Wewahitchka on Labor Day, Circuit Judge Robert L. McCrary denied the motion by School Board attorney, Cecil G. Costin, Jr., to dismiss the suit t by the County Commission against the School Board. The suit seeks to have declared unconstitutional two bills, passed f by the 1965 Legislature, that give essentially all of Gulf County's race track funds to the Board of Public Instruction for school construction. The county commissioners base their suit on these points: agreed that they would consolidate 1.

City Auditor and Clerk, J. B. Williams reported to The Star yesterday that a last minute rush of 180 people signed up to vote in City elections during the last two days of registration last week. This brought the total number of registered voters up to 1,789, for the largest number of registered voters in Port St. Joe's history. This number of voters is signif- icant also in that virtually all of them are capable of casting votes now. There were 1,720 on the list discarded in February of this year, but a number of these peo- ple were not now eligible to vote in the City which was the reason for discarding the old rolls. Polls will open Tuesday morn- ing at 7:00 a.m. and will remain open until 7:00 p.m. Only one polling place is provid- ed in City elections. This polling place will be in the Fire Station of the City Hall. High School 'PTA Exec Board Meets Tonight The High School PTA Executive Board will meet tonight at 7:30 p.m. in the Florida Power Corpora- tion lounge. All officers of the High School PTA are urged to be present to lay plans for the coming year. City Buys New 750 Gallon Fire Pumper For $17,573.91 The City Commission awarded a contract to furnish a new fire pumper to the City to the Fire Fighters Equipment Company of Jacksonville Tuesday night. Fire Fighters Equipment Com- pany bid $17,573.91 on the new pumper, with delivery within 115 working days. The new pumper will furnish the City with a 750 gallon per minute pumper, carrying 750 gal- lons of water in the truck. The truck will be modeled for taking care of the City's needs in fire equipment for years to come. The new truck will be a Ford C950 with a Howe Watterous twin stage centrifugal pump. sion Posts on Tuesday PSJHS Alumni Asked to Meet To the graduates of the Port St. Joe High School: As you are aware, there is ,at present, no alumni organization for the graduates of the Port St. Joe High School. Such an alumni organization would (and should) exist to arrange class reunions, club reunions, main- tain an up-to-date file of all gradu- ates and their addresses, publish and circulate news of old class- nates, arrange special services for graduation occasions such as Home. coming, etc. Through it friendships formed in youth and the pleasures, adventures, and gaieties of "school lays" could be maintained, shared nd enjoyed in maturity. We believe the existence of just uch an alumni organization would e a definite and substantial asset o graduates, school, and commun- ty. If you are interested in the for- mation of such an organization and are either a graduate of the Port St. Joe High School or would like to represent such a graduate, please plan to attend an organizational meeting on September llth at 8 p. m. in the Port St. Joe High School auditorium. Please lend us your whole-heart- ed support in this attempt. Addi- tional information will be present- ed at the meeting. Every graduate please attend. Ken Dykes, Chairman, Alumni Organization Com.

Frye, director, Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission, said "The framework will allow Florida to establish a season of forty days with a four duck bag limit or a fifty day season with a three duck bag limit. Florida's sportsmen have in- dicated that they prefer the forty days and four ducks in preference of the longer season and reduced bay." The waterfowl hunting season must be, established between an opening date of October 9 and a closing date of January 9, 1966- one week later than was allowed last year. This presents a problem in that the selection of the latest possible season will not permit the season to be open during the .Thanksgiving holidays unless a split season is chosen. Federal regulations require a penalty of four days off the total season for those states selecting a split sea- son. In the past the Commission has selected the latest season possible as provided in the regulation framework. The daily bag limit on ducks other than mergansers is-four per day. The limit on .coot is ten per day and hunters will be allowed a daily bag limit of two geese. The daily bag limit on ducks may not include more than two wood ducks, two mallards, or two canvasbacks. The sheeting hours for taking waterfowl and coots in the Atlantic Flyway are from sunrise until sun- set. Opening and closing dates and final waterfowl hunting regulations were formulated at the meeting of the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission in Jacksonville, Aug- ust 27. ---- -^---- OYSTER-TURTLE SEASON BEGAN SEPTEMBER 1 Tallahassee Opening day for the 1965-66 season to take oysters and turtles from Florida waters was Wednesday,, September 1, ac- cording to Randolph Hodges, direc- tor of the Florida Board of Conser- vation. The season will close on these two special on April 30, 1966, except in Martin County where the turtle season opens on September 16 and closes on April 15, 1966. Hodges also pointed out that there were special laws which af- fect the taking of oysters in cer- tain areas. In Volusia County no person shall have more than two bushels for one person or more than four bushels per boat or mo- tor vehicle for personal consump- tion during the open season for taking oysters.

Fdr the past few weeks, I have covered topics in this column of interest t to those of you owning tim- '.-herland in Bay and Gulf counties. 'But this article should be of inter- est to all home-owners because it concerns caring for shade trees. Fertilization is of great import- ance in the care of shade trees. I do not know of any tree on resi- dential property that will not bene- fit from an annual application of fertilizer applied properly and in reasonable quantities. But, the av- erage property owner rarely, if ever, considers fertilizing the trees I MADE'S TAVERN DINE AND DANCE Apalachicola Across the Bridge Seafood and Steaks Our Specialty Open Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday 9 A.

Barrier, Jr. City Commissioner in ms yara. in view u me llcreab- ed value afforded the average home-site by the presence of shade trees, the homeowner is certainly justified in making the relatively small expenditure of time and money required fo ran adequate an- nual feeding for his trees. Healthy, vigorous trees not only grow better, are more beautiful, and produce better shade, but the yare much better equipped to resist the at- tacks of insects and disease. A large per cent of the trees I have been called to look at for insects or disease were either in very poor condition before the attack or in- jured mechanically. Since it would not be economical, woodland trees are not fertilized. If they were, they would not require as much fertilization because the leaves fall to the ground and re- turn their organic matter to the soil. The leaves from lawn trees are, generally removed. Also, lawn trees must compete with a heavy grass sod that drinks up all the available water and nutrients be- 'fore the trees get a chance at it. SLate fall or early spring applica- tions of fertilizer are preferred for trees. Fall feedings should be made afte rthe lays have fallen from hardwoods or until there is no pos- esibility of growthin evergreens. Spring applications can be made any time before May 1. Feedings after this time do not produce the maximum response in root and top growth. Summer fertilizing should be L.vol:d, since the growth pro- duied isl usually soft and succulent and does not harden properly, thus making it subject to winter injury. However, if a tree is obviously .starving, it should be fed regard- less of the season. While most shade trees will re- spind to yearly treatments, some individual trees may require feed- ing every two, three, or four years. This will very somewhat depending on the species and the site the tree is groin gon.

Carey, District Manager of the Panama City Social Security Office. The benefit amount will be reduced 5/9 of 1 percent for each month that the widow is under the age of 62. Widows are the only ones who may claim retirement age benefits while under the age of 62, Carey continued. Of course, disability benefits may be. payable to a dis- abled worker and his dependents regardless of age if the individual has a disability which prevents him from doing any kind of gainful work. Divorced women may'have rights on their former husband whether he is living or dead if they were married for 20 continuous years be- fore the divorce, Carey added. Of course, the former wife divorced must be 62 years of age if her for- mer husband is still living, where- as the former wife divorced may be paid benefits at age 60 if her former husband, is deceased. Widows who remarry after age 60 may now have Social Security rights on a deceased husband's So- cial Security record, Carey said. Remarriage after the age of 60 does not destroy a widow's Social Secur- ity rights on her previous husband. A woman who draws Social Se- curity benefits on her husband's Social Security record must always notify the Social Security Adminis- tration if a divorce occurs or if she remarries, regardless of her age at time of remarriage, Carey conclud- ed. Although Social Security bene- fits may be continued in many cases because of the Social Security amendments of 1965, we must be put on notice of the divorce or the. remarriage so that benefits, if pay- able, will be paid on the proper rec- ord. If any of the above changes af- fect you and you are old enough to qualify, for benefits, you should contact your nearest Social Secur- ity office to file your claim. If you are not old enough to qualify for benefits but wish more infor- mation on this matter, ask your neasest Social Security office for the free fact sheet, OASI No. 5. The Social Security office for this area is located at 1135 Harrison Ave., Panama City, Flarida (tele- phone 763-5331).

Oh the right is the scrub oak rough from which it was converted. This plantation is in the northern part of Bay County. FFS Says Now's Time To Plant Pine Seedlings Carl F. Muller Bay and Gulf Farm Forester Pine seedlings must be ordered now for planting this winter, as you probably know, seedlings must be planted while they are dormant in the winter months. The cost of seedlings is only $4.00 per thous- and for the timber species. This is less than % cent per tree. Last year, Bay and Gulf counties planted over 11,500,000 seedlings. Leaal This is by far more than any other two counties in the state. It is es- timated that 100 million seedlings will be planted in Florida this win- ter. This is enough seedlings to plant around 130 thousand acres of land. In comparison, only 5,000 were planted in 1928 when Flor- ida's reforestation program was be- gun. Since -1928 ,one and one-half billion seedlings have been planted on over two million acres in Flor- ida. Yet 45% of the wood used by Florida's nine paper mills is im- norted from other states. Further expansion in old mills and develop- Ni ment of new mills will depend di- o t l f rectly on the additional supply of S wood available.

This wasn't because we had changed our mind about the need for an increase in pay for these grossly underpaid, important people. We are still of the opinion that these professional people should be treated as professional people and paid as profes- sional people. It has been brought out forcefully in the past few weeks just how urgent is the need for a teacher pay raise in Gulf County. The Port St. Joe High School has still been unable to hire a manual arts teacher because the salary is too Our Growing Forest by Carl F. Muller Bay, Gulf - Farm Forester - Longleaf Pine once occupied this area here in Bay and Gulf counties as extensive virgin forest of very high value. Possibly some, of you can remember the vast acreages of the large pines. Today, Longleaf is found only in smaller second growth forests as it lost possession of much land when it failed to re- produce. There are several reasons why Longleaf failed to perpetuate it- self. When the early loggers came through, they left very few trees to reseed area. The few trees they did leave were either too small or, of too poor a form to be a good supply of seed. Added to this prob- lem was fire. Fire is a very valu- able tool in Longleaf Pine manage- ment, but it must be used correctly. At this time, the fires came through almost every year, and a one year old Longleaf seedling is very easily killed by fire. In the later years, when a good fire control system was developed ,a lack of fire be- came a problem. It was not realiz- ed at that time, but control burn- ing is a must to enable Longleaf reproduction to overcome the com- petition of other species, as well as underbrush. Since Longleaf is the most complicated of the south- that Longleaf is still superior to' all the other southern pines in many characteristics, and that re-I search foresters are making special efforts toward reestablishing one low.

This means No doubt, society has failed our youth, but not in the that the $230,000 from the first year of effect of the act will way many seem to think. Rather, the dereliction has been in lie in the banks for a year. Costin also explained that the the failure to teach them the meaning of discipline, restraint, revenue certificates are so to be paid as to give the school self-respect, and respect for law and order and the rights of board a surplus from these funds for two years. So it is others. Consequently, the lesson now is both painful and natural to suspect that for at least three years the Board costly. will have a piece of money available. JOHN EDGAR HOOVER, Director. What we would like to suggest is that the School Board -use a part of the first year income from race track money to raise teacher salaries substantially. We would also like to suggest that the Board subsidize such a raise in future years :from the added revenue that the Board will receive from a xe-valuation of real and personal property during the next F. tax year. The source of money for such a raise is in sight. The need for such an increase is starkly evident. Let's do something about it. BIG SAVINGS! YOUNG HOODLUMS GAG FBI'S HOOVER Reprinted from the FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin September, 1965 Young thugs and teenage criminals may be pressing their luck by increasing their violent escapades while blam- ing society for their faults. It appears that the public is beginning to gag on the steady sociological diet of excusing the conduct of teenage hoodlums because "society has failed them." Resort commun- ities racked by senseless riots and citizens who cannot ven- ture from their homes without being assaulted and beaten are getting fed up with pampered and insolent youth gangs. Some courts in the troubled areas are taking a more realistic approach in handling those involved in these out- breaks. New laws providing stiffer penalties are being en- acted in a few places. We can only hope that authorities everywhere will follow this trend. Certainly, the more desire of young miscreants to have a "blast" or to "let off steam" is no excuse to ravage a community and to maim and ter- Srorize its residents. That holiday riots and similar antics by carousing youths have evoked widespread concern is not surprising. It is sur- prising, however, that strong public reaction did not come sooner. For several years, the increasing volume of criminal acts by young people-spurred on by the lenient treatment received-has presented a clear barometric reading of what we are now witnessing. For instance, from 1960 through 1964, the percentage of young age-group arrests for homicide, forcible rape, aggravated assault, robbery, burglary, larceny and auto theft more than doubled the population increase percentage of the 'same group. Arrests of persons under 18 Distinctively Styled New Look in the 'Beetle' Shoe 399 SIZES 5 TO 10 A ,A ,r S Baet'e Hoel, String Bow, Cut- Out Vamp Black Suede, Green Suede, Milk Shake Suede and Black Smooth Leather CARP'S COLORFUL Ultra Blend Prints A luxurious Olend of 50% Avril. 50% cotton Pre-shrunk little o0 no Ironing needed he oertect fabric for ,'resse, and blouses y - m I i .. - Pate's Service Center TYNES STANDARD SERVICE CARP'S SPORT WEIGHT Cotton Poplin Fine quality yarn-dyed poplin In 4 beautiful solid colors Just right for colorful mix 'n match separates.

The first of the important char- acteristics of Longleaf is insect and disease resistance. Southern fusi- form rust, root rot, and tip moths have little effect on Longleaf, whereas they are deadly to the other southern pines. Brownspot, the primary disease of Longleaf, is easily controlled by fire as Long- leaf, once established, is the most fire resistant species in the world. Another important characteristic if Longleaf is its ability to yield large amounts of gum and high quality timbers on relatively poor sites. It also does a good job of natural pruning and expresses a pronounced dominance over other trees. Longleaf's ability to with- stand long periods of dry weather in the seedling stage is another very important attribute. This is especially true here in Bay and Gulf counties due to our sandy soil that does not hold moisture well in dry periods. The most outstanding disadvantage of Longleaf is its slow growth for the first few years while in the grass stage. No single forest species in the south possesses so many desirable traits and has been neglected be- cause of our failure to work out an effective procedure for its suc- cessful regeneration. I hope Long- leaf Pine will soon be on its way bctk n in intot:th O ert. Paiux n f SAVE CASH AT RICH'S ..

President Hamm declared the 1965 season as one of the best since organization of the League eight years ago. Two of the players, Bryan Bax- ley of the AN Railroad team and Kenneth Haddock of the Florida National Bank team were com- mended for being voted by the managers as the two most valu- able players for the 1965 season. Mr. Hamm presented them with special trophies and commended them highly. Bryan Baxley was presented the batting title certificate for the sea- son.

No Accidents Mar Holidays Gulf County made it through the Labor Day week end without an ,accidental scratch being reported, in spite of a record number of ac- cidental deaths over the nation. But Tuesday afternoon at 2:15 p.m., after the holiday was offici- ally over, an accident near Mexico Beach slightly injured six Panama City Negroes, as a car overturn- ed. According to Highway Patrolman Ken Murphy, Robert A. Philyaw of Panama City attempted to pass a vehicle driven by J. C. Hitchcock of Highland View, when Philyaw lost control of his auto and over- turned. In passing the Hitchcock auto, Philyaw met oncoming traf- fic and applied his brakes to avoid a head-on collision. He sideswiped the Hitchcock car, skidded 258 feet left the right side of the road and turned over. Philyaw and five passengers in his auto were brought to the of- fice of Dr .Wayne Hendrix in Port St. Joe by Comforter ambulance, where they were treated for cuts and abrasions. Philyaw was charged with im- proper passing. READ THE CLASSIFIED School Library Service Broadened A new library instructional unit has been added to the county school system this year. This unit was established by a bill passed during the last legislative session providing one additional library service unit within each of the 67 counties. The intent of the law is to make it possible for a county to employ a qualified librarian who would help develop plans which would take advantage of available Federal funds for instructional ma- terials. This position is being filled by Mrs. Laura A. Geddie who has ser- ved as Port St. Joe Elementary School librarian for the past nine years. Her duties as Coordinator of Li- brary Instructional Materials and Services will also include working closely with personnel in the var- ious schools in planning library fa- cilities, equipment and programs. She will help organize and admin- ister centralized library service in the Highland View Elementary School. She will serve as a resource person in the interpretation of in- structional materials programs to school and lay people. Looking for clean fun and entertainment?
