THE STAR "Port St. Joe-The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chaltahoochee Valley" TWENTY-NINTH YEAR PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, 32456 THURSDAY, JULY 14, 1966 NUMBER. 44 Merchants Throwing Big 'Sidewalk Sale' This Week Begins Friday Thru Saturday Port St. Joe merchants are featuring their an- nual "Sidewalk Sale" this Friday and Saturday in a big city-wide mid-summer sale event. The merchants inaugurated their "Sidewalk Sale" some four years ago, and the event has been popular with the merchants and people of the Port St. Joe trade area since its inception. The sale has proven so popular that other areas cities have adopted the promotion. i --Plans by the merchants for this year's ;'sale should make! it the largest "Sidewalk Sale" promo- tion ever attempted and should prove to be very enjoyable as well as profitable for the public in entertainment and: savings on seasonal merchan- dise. Refreshments Favors 3 Arrangements have been made to provide free cold drinks for the two sale days. The cold drinks will be dispensed from a machine on Reid Avenue all day Friday and Saturday. Free bal- loons will be provided for all the kids and a live string band will play in downtown Port St. Joe Saturday afternoon from 1:00 to 6:00 pjm. The band had formally been contracted for 2:00 to 6:00 p.m., but an extra hour was arranged for this past week. To advertise the sale, a 12-page circular has been prepared by The Star and has been distributed from -Mexico Beach to Lanark Village. A copy of the circular may also be found enclosed in this week's issue of The Star. The merchants urge you to come to downtown Port St. Joe Friday and Saturday; enjoy a free cold drink, or two, or three at their expense, get a free balloon for the kids and shop the many savings you will find in Port St. Joe stores this week end.

Wiley Garret of Blountstown, with the Soil Conservation District appeared before the Commission Tuesday stating that Calhoun Coun- ty wished to join in the program, since the headwaters of Wetappo Creek extend up into Calhoun County. But Commisisoner Walter Gra- ham made a motion to table any action on the Watershed project for the time being. His motion was seconded by Commissioner T. D.

Graham made his motion due to the fact that only a handful of people were eligible to vote on the question of whether or not to es- tablish the District which would levy a tax on the land owners in the district. Graham wanted to put off deciding whether to go into the program until the law is chang- ed to allow all land owners-some of whom do not live in the county and some of whom live in the coun- ty but are not eligible to vote be- cause they do not live on the pro- perty-could have a voice in the decision. As the law now stands, only resi- dents who are freeholders can cast a vote in the decision. Commission Discusses Bonding Road Fund The subject of bonding the Coun- ty's share of the secondary road funds came up for discussion at the County Commission Tuesday morn- ing. There is speculation over the state that decision of the road funds will be changed since the State Legislature has been reap- portioned and that small counties such as Gulf will receive only a small percentage of what they now receive for road construction. The (Continued On Page 12) Planning Second Trip This Summer Five local boys completed a 13 day raft trip down the Chipola Friday morning at about 10.00 a.m. when they pulled into the docks of the Gulf Oil Company in Apa- lachicola. The five boys, Billy Simmons, John Maddox, Johnny White, Allen Humphrey and Joe Rycroft began their trip on Monday, June 27. They met their first mishap on the first day, barely three miles from their starting point. This was when they shot the first rapids of the Little Looking Tremble Shoals near Marianna. According to the boys, they went over the first rapids and their raft hit a large rock breaking it up pretty bad. The rest of the first day was spent in making repairs. On two other occasions, the raft was'damaged in the upper regions of the Chipola on rocks and rapids but repairs were made and the boys continued their trip. Make Dead Lakes The dangerous waters and areas of relatively calm waters slowed the journey of the raft consider- ably on the first half of the jour- ney. It took them to Tuesday, July Board to Add Two Classrooms At School The Gulf County School Board received permission from the State Board of Education this past week to divert funds earmarked for con- struction, to use by the Board in building two new class rooms at Port St. Joe High School. The new class rooms are being' built by the School Board to pre- vent overcrowding at the High School. The over-crowding is ex- pected from the fact that there will be 175 students to enter the seventh grade at the high school at the next term in addition to the several students gained from the recent placement by choice pro- (Continued On Page 12) 5 to make the Dead Lakes. The raft was then transported around the Dead Lakes Dam and the journey resumed once again on Wednesday morning, July 6. The remaining journey to Apa- lachicola took only a day and a half, after spending more than a week traveling from Marianna to the Dead Lakes. The boys said they arrived at the mouth of the Apalachicola Ri- ver Thursday evening, late, but the wind and tide blew them back into the River, so they had to wait un- til Friday morning to complete their journey into Apalachicola. A Long Trip The boys said that in talking with men familiar with the wind- ing Chipola and Apalachicola, they were told their journey covered about 175 miles. They got the idea of the trip at the Boy Scout camp held in June, when Scoutmaster Simpson told many stories of his boyhood days when he and other boys would raft down the Chattahoochee River from Bainbridge to Chattahoochee. On their return home, the boys immediately set about building their raft to take their trip and spent more than a week getting their craft..completed. All of the boys said the journey was interesting and "a lot of fun". They are now making plans to make a trip down the Apalachicola River. "No more Chipola River", said Billy Simmons. "No sir", echoed Allen Humphrey, "we'll travel the Apalachicola where the currents are better, and there are no rap- ids." County Board Will Receive Courthouse Bids The County Commission will meet in a special session on Thursday afternoon, July 28 at 3:00 p.m., EST, to receive bids on the new Gulf County Court- house.

Vacation Tips From Red Cross As millions of Americans prepare for their annual summer holidays, the American Red Cross has urged them to take every possible safeguard to insure accident-free, healthful, and relaxing vacations. "Common sense precautions will prevent experiences that can be uncomfortable, painful or downright dangerous," declared A. B. Murphy, national director of Red Cross Safety Services. He recommended that at least one member of every family take the Red Cross first aid course and also offered these safety suggestions for a vacation outdoors free from unpleasant mishaps: 1. Play it safe from the start by making sure your car's brakes, lights, signaling devices, steering mechanisms, and exhaust systems are in good working order, and the tires, including the spare, are sound. Pack your car so that the driver has perfect visibility in front, rear and sides. Drive carefully and make allowances for the chances less careful drivers will take. 2. Select camp sites that are well away from such hazards as steep cliffs and banks. If you have small children, inspect the area for deep holes and dangerous waters, 3. Be sure the drinking water supply is good. In state and national parks, the tap water is sure to be. But many lakes and streams are polluted. 4. Wear clothing appropriate to the environment, including proper shoes or boots and trousers in brush areas. 5. Avoid overexposure to the sun. 6. Take along a good repellant to combat insects. 7. Identify-and keep children away from-poisonous plants in the area: those dangerous to touch, such as poison oak, poison ivy and sumac, and those, like wild berries and toadstools, that look edible but are poisonous. 8. Learn about the wildlife in the area-large animals that are dangerous, and venemous snakes. 9. Be sure that any campfire you build is in a com- pletely cleared area and when you have finished with the fire, extinguish it with water, then shovel earth on top of it. - 10.' Make sure knife blades are sharp. When using, cut away from you. Keep knives in sheath or stored in separate compartments from other utensils when not in use. 11. If you use a charcoal grill for cooking, never use it in an enclosed patio, tent or cave, or inside a building, because of the danger of asphyxiation by carbon monoxide. A New Co of Governmnt A New Concept of Government, Proposals now before Congress would "introduce a new -oncept of government in business," declares J. E. Corette, president of the Montana Power Company. He was refer- ring to legislation to create a federal electric bank for REA borrowers a bank that would make available some $10 billion for the expansion of rural electric cooperatives. Such expansion of public power is entirely unjustified, because rural electrification has been largely completed. 'Government subsidized REA systems would enormously step up competition with investor-owned utilities with serious loss in tax revenues. Cooperatives pay annual taxes of only six tenths of one per cent of the cost of their property, while the taxes of private utilities represent about 5 per cent of their property cost. Under the proposed plan for a federal County Agent's . Notes...

Al- though no method for eradicating nematodes is practical on a field scale, several ways of economic control are available to vegetable growers to protect their crops vary greatly. While some treatments are very costly, they nevertheless are highly profitable on high value crops.

The idea of all-out government competition with pri- vate business, plus the huge tax losses that would result, have created strong opposition to the electric bank idea. A former chairman of the Federal Power Commission, Nelson Lee Smith, in summarizing his reasons for opposing pending bills in Congress for the electric bank, states that: "(1) They are not needed (2) They would encourage wasteful duplication of facilities (3) Such uneconomic duplication and competition would be subsidized at great cost to the taxpayer .. (4) This subsidy program would lack both definite termination provisions, and, once established, any opportunity for continuing surveillance by the Con- gress." The electric bank is more than a new concept of gov- ernment in business-it is a new concept of government along' totalitarian lines. Who's Running Schools? The superintendent of the school district in the little city of Beaverton, Oregon, is having troubles-troubles which are'-not of his own or his community's making. They are troubles which are shared by innumerable other such districts the country over including the Gulf County Board. They have to do with the masses of red tape in- volved in federal aid to education. Specifically, in this superintendent's view, "the require- i ments are completely unreasonable" in applying for funds under Title II of the Elementary and Secondary Education ( Act of 1965. As an example, it is demanded that each and every one of the books of the district's libraries be inven- toried. He says of this, "All the information they need they could be given on one piece of paper." News accounts report that the Beaverton School Board unanimously supports the superintendent and fears that fed- eral aid is turning into federal control. The sad fact is that s it would be remarkable if it didn't. The old adage still ap- a plies: He who pays the piper calls the tune. And the de- a mands made on local bodies inevitably grow ever larger. This is the bureaucrats' way of showing that they must p have more funds, more staff, more authority. So, little by a little, local and individual responsibility, local determination p to forge ahead, and local rights and liberties, are whittled t away. Nothing is sharper than the knife of the bureaucrat. And the sad part of the whole affair is, that we, as local citizens are aiding and abetting and even demanding this trend of events by our refusal to face up to our fiscal re- sponsibilities. If . If you owe $10.00, you're a nobody. If you owe $100.00, you're a has-been. If you owe $1,000.00, your mortgage isn't paid off either. If you owe $25,000.00, you're a corporation. If you owe $100,000.00, you're a financial wizard. If you owe $1,000,000.00, you're a tycoon. If you owe over $1 billion, you're Uncle Sam, and you believe in Santa Claus. -The Highland (Il1.) News Leader tode may cause an increase of another. Where flooding can be practic- ed for at least two to three months during the summer, a considera- ble reduction in root-knot nema- tode populations can usually be ob- tained. Alternating flooding with periods of drying appears to be of greater value than continuous flooding for both sands and peat soils. Some of the benefits of flooding apparently are derived from the control of weeds and other plant hosts of the nematode. Soil fumigation with chemical s also an effective, quick way of controlling nematodes which feed on crop roots. Nematicides are usually market- ed and applied in liquid form. A ew are available as granules. All nematodes attacking vege- ables in the state appear to be readily killed by fumigation. Soil nematicides are poisonous so if they get on the skin, they should be washed off immediately vith soap and water. Prolonged breathing of vapor or dust from granules can also be harmful. If a'nematicide is splashed into he eye, flush with water and con- ult a doctor immediately. Con- aminated clothing or shoes must be removed immediately to pre- 'ent burning, and shouldn't be vorn again until washed and horoughly aired. PON'T FLIRT WITH A 1 i c e f t r s s t b t s t V t That's the beauty of buying America's most popular make of car-especially right now when summer savings are extra tempting. It just makes sense that you're going to save in a big way by seeing the man who's doing business in a big way. So go see what Be Prepared for Outdoor Hazards TALLAHASSEE The Boy Scout motto of "Be Prepared' should apply to all outdoorsmen and a word of caution about avoid ing some outdoor hazards was is sued today as an aid to sportsmen and outdoor enthusiast by Brantley Goodson, Law Enforcement Chief of the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission. Goodson said, "precaution against hazards in the out doors should start well before the trip begins. A complete physical may provide warning against excessive activity and a tetanus shot is the best insurance against infection from assorted causes." He said, "fishermen are exposed to many wounds, such as being pricked by fish fins, snagged on an artificial bait or nicked by a knife while cleaning fish." Fisher- men were also advised to include a small pair of snippers in their tackle box for use on location should someone become hooked .n a fleshy area where the barb can be pushed through and cut )ff. The Law Enforcement Chief said, 'Folks moving about fishing camps, especially when bare footed, might occasionally step on fish bones which are highly infectious." A standard first aid kit should definitely be included among portsmens' equipment to bulwark anti-infection percautions through a tetanus shot. Goodson said, "Wildlife officers patrolling fishing and wilderness reas are frequently called on to providee first aid and are trained o assist the summer outdoor trade under proper circumstances." --- -9, Smokey Says: Etaoin Shrdlu By WESLEY R. RAMSEY your Chevrolet dealer can save you right now on a luxurious new Chevrolet, racy Chevelle, trusty Chevy II or sporty Corvair. This year's cars by Chevrolet are the most. g And right now-so are the savings. 09-6942 Jim Cooper Motor Company, Inc. 401 Williams Avenue PHONE 227-2471 ,s ~ct [ Fb CANDIDATE: We have a local candidate for the "meanest person or persons in the world". And this person or persons work at achieving this distinction diligently. They even burn the midnight oil and iay even work up into the wee hours of the morning. But we can see no future to it. These diligent souls are working for their title by stealing flowers at the cemetery and tearing up grave tops and messing up the cemetery in general. This person or persons has a lot to do, haven't they? We can only hope that they come to their senses and realize what they are doing before they achieve their goal of becoming "the meanest person or persons in the world." OPPORTUNITY: It seems that we are always an hour late or a dollar short when it comes to taking advantage of opportunity. In reading one of the Sunday supplements we came upon an article about a Siamese cat named "Syn Cat" that is starring in the movies. This darn cat makes $1,000 a week starring in such films as "That Darn Cat" and "Perilous Journey". That's a lot of cat food! And it's so simple to get the cat to do his tricks or proceed through his paces. His trainer says that he worked hard getting the cat to follow the sound of a tinkling bell with a food reward at the source of the bell sound. If we had only known! Our Siamese cat "Sinbad" is already trained. Had we known they wanted to make these movies and star a Siamese, we could be making that 1,000 clams a week. Sinbad doesn't follow a bell though. But just you let the elec- tric can opener start up in our house, at any time of the day or night, and Sinbad will come running. And it wouldn't be too hard to substitute a can opener for a bell sound, now would it? CONSTITUTION: The current project of revising the Florida Constitution is taking up a good bit of space in the daily papers these days. According to the stories there will be some drastic changes suggested for the new Constitution. Among these changes is the suggestion that the Cabinet be appointed rather than elected. Needless to say this is meeting some stiff opposition. A Governor WOULD have a plum to hand out if these pusts were appointive. Another section gives all counties home rule, doing away with the practice of having to go to the Legislature for any change in local governing procedure. There is much change going on in the State and Nation at the present time. It is a hurculean task to keep" the people abreast of them in such a manner that citizens may make upl their minds intelligently on how to vote to cast a decision. It is impossible for a small weekly newspaper to do so. It is nearly impossible for a large weekly or small daily to do so. It will be an expensive and immense job for the daily newspapers to inform yourr o these mat- ters. Respect their efforts by reading carefully thie stories to' come about these important changes in- our government and? be, ready to cast an intelligent vote when your opinion is asefadi.

The tax from Florida's 67 coun- ties totaled $1,848,870.75, and an additional $2,355.85 was recorded in out of state collections. The money represents payments on deeds, stocks and bonds, and written obligations to pay money, such as notes and contracts. The tax rate is 30 cents on each $100 value on deeds and transfers of interest in real estate, and 15 cents on each $100 on notes, con- tracts, written obligations to pay money and an original issue and transfers of shares of stock. Gulf County contributed $1,- 009.50 from this source to the state treasury. Too Late To Classify By Russell Kay Considering the crazy weather patterns that have afflicted the country in the past year or so one might assume that Mother Nature has gone stark staring nuts and ought to be placed in a mental institution. Hurricanes, ice, snow, tornadoes and excessive heat occurring at the wrong place at the wrong time from coast to coast and border have the old weather apple cart not only upset but turned topsy-turvy. To the layman it dosen't make a bit of since. We are inclined to blame it on everything from the atomic bomb to the war in Viet Nam. But scientists try to com- :fort us with assurance that it is all normal and natural and con- trolled by the cycles. They tell us that the jet stream, that powerful upper air flow has changed its location. It marks the southern bonudary of the polar air mass which expands when it is cool and contracts when it is warm. The change of the jet stream they say is causing us to experi- ence cooler summers and colder winters. It seems we are reaching the end of a warm cycle and can look forward to more severe win- ters and cooler summers for some time. The world is getting colder and wetter. the Little Ice Age and it has been getting milder most of the timei since. Rising temperatures rose four times as much in the arctic as near the equator and has been ris- ing all over the North Atlantic. The arctic ice pack receded hundreds of miles. Now the cycle is changing and -we are entering a period of cooler weather that will be experienced in both Europe and America. Cli- matologists point to previous low temperature cycles in the following years, 1550, 1790 and 1812. For 30 years before 1790 it had been quite warm in Europe while lower temperatures lagged behind in America. Another period of cold ran from 1870 to 1910 in the United States. Bruce Frisch, writing in Science, Digest, tells us that in the future, airline pilots will have to fly fur- ther south to hitch a ride on the jet stream. Ship captains will have to watch out for iceburgs that "have almost vanished from the sea lanes to Europe. Birds and animals that moved north with, the warm era, will return south again as glaciers grow and sea temperatures drop. The growing season will be- come shorter and so will the ice- free season on the Great Lakes. Finally the grandpas of tomor- row will have to learn a new line. Instead of boasting how cold the winters used to be, they will have to recall how hot the summers were. Professor Hurd Willett meteror- ologist of the Massachusetts Insti- tute Of Technology contends that the colder, wetter weather will con- tinue through the year 1990. Trop- ical disturbances will again move west originating in the Gulf rather than the Atlantic and moving north to the west rather than the east of Florida. The recent weather patterns seem to bear this out with severe weather in the same time that Hur- ricane Alma traveled up the Flor- ida West Coast. what o ff/e to %y *s g * It's fresh-ground flavor you can't get in a can.

Bill Graham The Holy Spirit does only what God can do; therefore, the Holy Spirit is God. In the work of creation of this world we find in Genesis 1:1 that God created the heavens and earth. In John 1:1-3, Colossians 1:15-17 and Hebrews 1:2, 3, we find the truth that Jesus Christ created the heavens and earth. Still further we read in Psalms 104:30 "Thou sendest forth Thy spirit, they are created: and Thou renewest the face of the earth." (also see Job 26:13). The Holy Spirit is said to have created all things. Here we find the Bible declares that the Blessed Trinity all took part in the crea- tion. Next we find in the Bible re- cord that the Holy Spirit is the one by whom man is created. This we find in Job 33:4: "The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life." We find-also that when a person accepts Christ as his personal Sav- iour, he at that time (and not be- fore), becomes a child of God (John 1:12); and also, that this event is called a birth of God (John 1:13). This birth happens only when a person personally accepts Christ.. No person, organization or denomi- nation can make them a child of God by any act or ordinance. It is an act of God through that person's faith in Christ that makes him a child of God, "But as many as re- ceived Him, to them gave he pow- er to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." John 1: 12, 13. This Spiritual birth, which all need or else they will go to Hell forever in torment, is recorded in God's word as the work of tht Holy Spirit. Turn in your Bibles to John 3:5-7 "Jesus answered and said unto him, verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto Him, 'How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, ye must be born again." Here is a man called Nicodemus who is well educated, rich, a ruler of the Jews, religious and having human life. Yet, at this point not only will he not enter the kingdom of God but he will not even see it. He must be born again. His human life cannot provide what is neces- sary to enter the kingdom of God. (Also see Titus 3:5 and I John 5:10-13.) This being born of God (born again) is the work of God the Holy Spirit in a person when that per- son, for himself, accepts Christ by faith. So here we find the Holy Spirit does only what God can do, creation of the heaven and earth, THURSDAY, JULY 14, 1966THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. man, and the new birth.

GAINESVILLE So you're new to Florida and wondering what va- riety of grass to plant in your new yard. Six grasses are commonly used for turf purposes in Florida ac- cording to Harry Meyers, Florida Agricultural Extension Service turf Specialist. They are St. Augustine, centipede, zoysia, bermuda and car- pet. St. Augustine grass is the stand- ard around the state. It adapts to a wide variety of growing condi- tions, however needs mowing dur- ing the summer and should be fer- tilized at least three times a year. Meyers said that Floratine is the best type of St. Augustine to use .because it is more compact and stays green longer during the win- ter. The chinch bug is a mortal enemy to St. Augustine.

The greatest disadvantage is the tall, heavy seed spikes that are produced during the summer making weekly mowing necessary. Acid soil is best for this grass.

Carpet grass is a native plant which adapts well to poorly drain- ed soils and will not withstand dry conditions. It does best on acid soils under low fertilization.

"The four additional hours each Friday are being provided for those people who cannot contact the Social Security office during regular hours, "Carey added. Many of the changes in the Social Securi- ty Law affect people who work during regular business hours throughout the week and who work on Saturday.

A per- son is eligible for medicare when he reaches age 65 even though he continues working on a full time basis or is running his business on a full time basis. The Social Securi- ty claim must be filed in the three month period before the 65th birth month if the individual is to have rights under medicare for the month he reaches age 65.

By MIKE BEAUDOIN Bribery in City Hall bribery charge rocks State Legislature. . bribery scandel on the floor of the U. S. Senate. . Today's headlines, and they are becoming r a t h e r common-place. These are today's headlines in to- day's paper but they could very easily be any day's headlines in almost any paper. Bribery is a disgusting thing but it is even more sickening and de- spicable when we watch our own government the most powerful nation the world has ever known resort to international bribery. Your government is trying to bribe its way out of an undeclared war against a nation so small it wasn't even known to most of us 10 years age. You call it international diplo- macy you call it foreign aid - and you may call it something else, but I call it bribery. A few months ago, President Lyn- don Johnson appealed to the North Vietnamese to meet him at the peace table. In the one hand he held the dove of peace, but in the other hand, instead of holding rea- son and honor, he held a blank check for billions of dollars worth of economic aid. He spoke of peace in one breath but in the next he talked about more money than this little war torn country had ever heard of. Is this anything but bribery? LO and Irom points of embarkation NO TAKERS on the East and West Coast. But the Communists didn't take --- the bait. They've been this route SAY YOU SAW iT IN THE STAR before. They knew we'd be back with another probably better offer. They didn't have long to wait. A few weeks later Johnson sent Vice President Humphrey on a tour of world capitals asking the leaders of these countries to help us bring the Vietnamese to the peace table. As Humphrey pleaded with these leaders to help us, he rattled the coin of the realm in his pocket. It was somewhat reminiscent of the Roman soldier who offered Judas Iscariot 20 pieces of silver! Can this be called anything but bribery?' Now I can see some of you say. ing to yourselves: "This man is a warmonger. : He wants to take a chance of starting another world war." Yes, I want to take a chance. We've got to take a chance on the walls of this once great nation are going to come crumbling down. But I ask you: Since when did tak- ing a chance stop the United States of America from standing up and fighting for its rights? WE TOOK CHANCE Our parents and grandparents in World War 1 took a chance when they stormed out of those mud- filled trenches and crossed over barbed wire into the face of enemy machine gun fire in Flanders. I They took a chance. And the millions of men who today lie un- der those little white crosses in France, they took a chance. In our own generation, some of you here tonight, we took a chance on Omaha Beach as we stepped over the bodies of our fallen com- rades and waded ashore. Just 10 years ago in Korea, our boys took a chance when they climbed to the top of Heartbreak Ridge which was already red with the blood of American boys. Why, Americans have been taking chances since before this nation was formed. They took a chance crossing the ocean to get With Mini Basket With Trade here-they took a chance on the wagon trains moving westward. Why if they hadn't taken a chance at Valley Forge, there wouldn't be any America today. THE WALL But then I suppose things have changed. We finally quit taking chances. We decided to quit taking chances in Korea and what hap-1 opened? Still today in that country there is a line across that coun- try guarded by troops who remem- ber a war we never lost but we never won simply because we refused to take a chance. We didn't want to take a chance back in 1945 when we sat down at the conference table with Russia and divided the city of Berlin. And today, because we didn't take a chance ,there is a concrete and steel wall separating the people of that once mighty city a wall of infamy which is a monument to bribery and appeasement. We decided not to take a chance in Cuba five years ago when we left those brave Freedom Fighters stranded on the beach at the Bay of Pigs. We promised them air cov- er and support and at the last min-. ute we decided not to take a chance and let them walk into the very jaws of hell. I say to you if we are going to win this fight against worldwide communism and we must win it we are going to have to take some chances. We are going to have to talk to the Communists in the only language they understand -the language of brute force. We must take a chance in Korea. We have to take a chance in Viet Nam. We must take a chance in Wash- ington! We must replace bribery with bravery. God help us if we don't. SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE STAR SUMMER T.V.

The newly organized Little Thea- tre group of Port St. Joe has re- ceived further encouragement and endorsement in the form of a letter from Mrs. Jessie Ball duPont, of which excerpts follow: "Through my associates I have learned of the enterprising and commendable organization of the Little Theatre Association of Port St. Joe and this knowledge has fil- led me with a great deal of pride and enthusiasm. The Little Theatre movement has been responsible in a very real way for the development of the American drama. Its contribution to our country and society cannot be over-estimated. I have always had a great deal of affection for your town. Mr. du- Pont felt the same way. Naturally, therefore, it gives me a great deal of pleasure and gratification to see the Little Theatre movement tak- ing root in your splendid city. My congratulations and all good wishes for tremendous success." This letter of congratulations was appreciated very much by the entire membership, most 9f whom are now in the midst of rehearsals for their first production, "The Mouse -That Roared" to be pre- sented July 27th and 28th at the Port Theatre. Advance General Ad- mission and Reserved Seat tickets will go on sale soon and a listing of where they may be obtained will be published in the Star.

TOTAL LIABILITIES In Gulf County, during 1965 there was a total of 83 deaths from all causes. Of this total more than 19 per cent, or 16 persons, died from some form of cancer. State-wide during 1965, there was a total of 59,080 deaths from all causes. Of this total more than 17 per cent, or 10,352 Floridians died as the result of cancer. A spokesman for the American Cancer Society said, "we are not releasing these somber statistics to frighten people." "Rather," he said, "we are presenting the fig ures as factual information. It is our hope to make more citizens constantly aware of the vicious disease, to urge them to become aware of 'cancer's 7 warning sig nals,' and to recommend to every one the wisdom of having regular health checkups which include a general cancer examination." 5,515,435.33 CAPITAL ACCOUNTS 17.
