Gainous Post, Vet- erans of Foreign Wars here in Port St. Joe, requested that the City sell them a license to operate a bingo game Tuesday night. The request was made by Dick Morlock, Quartermaster for the lo- cal Post. Morlock stated that bingo games are used by VFW posts throughout the state as a money making project. Mayor Frank Pate asked City Attorney Silas R. Stone abouit the legality of a license for operating a bingo game in the City. Stone said that he had rather obtain an opinion from the Attorney Gener- al. Morlock pointed out that other VFW posts operate bingo and that the State VFW legal officer has ad- vised that the local post may le- gally do so. Stone pointed out that the law requires an organization to be in existence for three years before be- ing allowed to operate the game. Stone's question was to whether the post would. be considered le- gal by virtue of bearing the name "VFW" or be illegal due to its four months of being organized in the City. The City Commission instructed Stone to get a decision on the mat- ter from the Attorney General be- fore they make a decision. n tl w p, P 3' to if: P( th lo PC Po 10 by Cc Ch po on bl 3r Ge nma ff on it iPo wh 10: ng riv I I I i I Nichols Four Sharks Make Named to All-Conference All-State Team Cornerback Jerry Nichols of Port St. Joe has been named to the All-State football team for his efforts put forth on Shark squads for the past three years.

And, though the "He-Coon" will probably do most of the talking, if we could do some talking to him, we would like to ponder for a bit, along with Congressman Sikes, about the condition and future of our deep water port here in Port St. Joe.4 Especially would we like to belabor the point of its present condition. The condition of our harbor is of especial import due to the fact that we read almost every month where more and more work is being authorized or extensive mainten- ance is being carried out on the Three Rivers project . the navigation channel up the Apalachicola, Flint and Chattahoochee Rivers. Millions of dollars have been spent on this system in the past to make inland cities in Geor- gia and Alabama accessible to water transport in the Gulf of Mexico and through the Intra-Coastal Canal. And, from the looks of things, millions more will be spent on this wa- terway. Now you ask "what does the Three'Rivers Project have to do with our port?" Everything. Several years ago, the directors of the Three Rivers System designated Port St. Joe as the outlet port for the system. This puts Port St. Joe in the enviable position of being the destination port of all foreign bound cargo that comes down the Apalachicola River. Potentially, this is a lot of business. It would all have to be handled in. the Port St. Joe-port, re-loaded from river barges to ocean-go- ing steamers or barges. This means labor. Labor means money being spent here. Money spent means a boost to the economy. _, :But, let's look at our readiness 'for this business. Port St. Joe's port has a project depth of 35 feet. This means that the National Rivers and Harbors Association -has- agreed that the local port should be maintained at a depth of 35 feet. But! It has been nearly eight years since any dredging work has been done in the local port. People who work with the port every day say that it has shoaled up in spots to where it is only 27 feet deep ... a deficit of eight feet, which means- a lot to a steamship.- And the worst part of it is, there is no "talking" going ,on to secure dredging repair to the port. If we had the Congressman's ear, we would ask him if it isn't just a little bit foolish to keep pouring money into the Three Rivers project arid leave the door for this out- let, closed? We believe at least as much attention should be paid to our outlet port as to the recurring sandbars in the rivers. Each is equally important if the full channel and port facility is to be effective. Otherwise, we should forget it all. America Still "The Best" The National Observer pointed out in a recent article that we should quit apologizing for America being Amer- ica, "So it is affluent, so not everyone participates equally (why should they, man being what he is?), so the 'quality' s of American life does not please those who would like to dictate 'quality'. But what other nation's system would c you substitute for it?" o t The United States in the past 20 years has written the most remarkable record of any great power in the t history of the world, and it continues to write it today in r Vietnam. Repeatedly, we have used our' overwhelming 1 military force to defend the territory, the rights, the lives and the human dignity of people living in other nations who were not in a position to defend themselves against the I brutality and oppression of expansionist communism. We d e have-poured American blood and treasure into Europe and s into Asia to rebuild the nations we defeated in World War t II and to hold the lines of freedom and national self-deter- h mination against aggression. American forces continue to i fight for principle-the U. S. has no interest in gaining 3 THE STAR - Published Every Thursday at 306 Williams Avenub, Port St. Joe, Florida, : By The Star Publishing Company WESLEY R.

When the balance sheet of the history books is finally drawn, U. S. citizens of the future will have reason to be proud of their nation's record. This should be remembered amidst the raucous ratings of America's detractors. We thought it well to be reminded of these facts on "Pearl Harbor Day". Surely this day in our history will always serve as a reminder to our friends and enemies alike that we are forever determined to avoid conflict at the greatest lengths and stand ever ready to pursue con- flict in the name of what is right, to the utmost of our ability. This determination, to defend the liberties of the citi- zens within our borders, and to defend the sovereignty of nations threatened from without has made our nation great in the eyes of the world and a nation for which we can proudly hold our heads high, thrust out our chest and say, "I am a part of that nation!" loafing Won't Get It Charles Dickins was expressing a sincere conviction born of experience when he said: 'My imagination would never have served me as it has but for the habit of com- monplace, .humble, patient, daily, toiling, drudging atten- tion.' And Sir Isaac Newton had in mind his own life of strict discipline when he said: 'Genius is patience.' We will never be able to reconstruct the world in such a way that we will be relieved of the necessity for indus- try, frugality, prudence and temperance, and yet that is exactly what most of the dreamers have in mind when they talk of Utopia, the Banquet of Life, and Universal Democ- racy. They think that some way, somehow, somewhere, a scheme will be devised by which all will be able to sleep until 10 o'clock in the morning and work about three days in the week. The idea is that during the remainder of the week we will sit under shade trees, on a fishing hole bank or in front of the log fires and loaf. Forget it! Nature would exterminate such, a race of- idlers in less than one generation.

Midget Investments That Yield Giant Returnsl Efaoin Shrdlu By WESLEY R. RAMSEY .5 P Well, Charles the Great has finally managed to finish off the English Pound and now he's hard at work on the American Dol- lar. What's he going to use for money when he finishes the two? For years, now, France has depended on the upholding financial arms of Britian and the U. S. to glue together his 'house of cards'. If it weren't for these two markets, his industry would grind to a halt. What will he do then? Charles has begun his assault on the dollar by way of buying up gold on certificates we have given his country as aid and for goods purchased to help that nation's economy become a steady force. In other words, he's buying our gold with our money. It would seem a prudent thing for the U. S. to hand Charlie a paid up note which this country holds against his for his demand for gold exchange for dollars. Or, the U. S. could counter his move by requesting payment of his nation's overdue debts to this nation . in gold. But, good old Uncle Sam will continue to turn the other cheek. Senator George Smathers offered the statement the other day saying he could not see how France could attempt such a move against the United States, since we have saved that nation from destruction and rebuilt it twice during the past 50 years. All Senator Smathers has to do is to look at what Charles has * done to Britain and he will see "how he can do it to us". Britain has bankrupted itself helping Charles' nation to regain its feet twice, and received the full brunt of both those feet right in the appropriate place. And all of this just because the Allies wouldn't let Charles the Great lead the conquering armies into Paris during World War II. We get several small pamphlets in the mail every month put out by machinery and supply houses. We always like to read the "fillers" in these magazines for their words of wisdom, their quips and choice bits of information. Some of them rival the Reader's Digest for readability. One we read the other day said "Don't expose your weaknesses". Now, one can really get his teeth into that little sentence. In the first place, we all know that we do not have to expose our weaknesses. There is always someone standing around ready to do that job for us. And, if nobody else gets around to it, we can do a pretty fair job of exposing them ourselves. * Do you have your Christmas tree up yet? It's only two and a half more weeks to Christmas. The kids get out of school for the holidays next Friday and the Christmas spirit is beginning to in- vade the stores. And we thought some people were rushing the season!

The wheels were shipped from Plymouth, England in 1836 to Bos- ton, Mass., and then to St. Joseph arriving there in 1837. The grist mill was first operated by Colonel Dessie Stone of the Confederate Army; then operated by James Bennett Stone (father of T. H. Stone). In 1883, James Bennett Stone died and operation of the Smill was taken over by the late T. H. Stone who at that time was only 14 years of age. The wheels are presently in Blountstown.

A Miami newspaperman has of- fered a confession by Adams, who is serving time in Raiford, that he is the one who murdered the two rather than Wilbur Pitts and James Lee who are now awaiting execution on Raiford's death row for the crime. White said that an organized ef- fort is being made to either free the two in the case or commute their sentence to life imprison- ment. White told the club that attor- neys representing Pitts and Lee have appealed to the United States Supreme Court. The high court re- manded the attorneys to the Flor- ida courts. The attorneys have un- til late in January, 1968 to ask for a new trial. White said that should the case come up for retrial, he has addi- tional evidence to point to the two now on death row as the killers and robbers. He stated that he has not made the evidence available to Pitts' and Lee's attorneys. White said that some of the evi- dence he has completely refutes Adams' confession that he is the slayer. Guests of the club Tuesday were C. F. Harrison, Sam Morgan, Leo- nard Jernigan, Tom Morris, C. C. Wally, Rev. Clyde Pressley and Foy Waddell of the East Bay Club and student guests Dianne Tripp, Di- anne Maddox, David Richardson, Jim Fensom and Fred Anderson.

N. Kirkman, Director of the Department of Public Safety, said this week, "We encourage all drivers to sig- nal every time they change lanes or pull out to pass another vehi- cle." . The veteran Florida Highway Patrol Commander said many people are still uncertain about the present law, but he pointed to the recent ruling by Attorney General Earl Faircloth that the use of turn signals for changing lanes is legal. Kirkman concluded, "Such a signal to let other drivers know your intentions is, good defensive driving, but be sure to turn off your signal when you have com- pleted the maneuver."

INVESTOR-OWNED ELECTRIC COMPANY Dry Weather Harms Seedlings TALLAHASSEE Unseasonably warm and extremely dry weather in Florida make proper handling of pine seedlings after delivery doubly important, according to R. A. Jordan, Florida Forest Service reforestation supervisor. Jordan says advance orders for new crop slash pine-seedlings are still being received though com- paratively few of the 65,000,000 tiny trees remain uncommitted at three state nurseries. Pine seedlings are packed in moist cotton batting for shipment. Good survival of the pine seedlings can be virtually assured if on arri- val at farm or, planting site the bales are stored under total shade in a well ventilated place. -Don't stack the bales one on top of an- other. Store in single layers, only. Water the unbroken bales once every three or four days. When cold weather does arrive, do not let the bales freeze since irreparable damage is done the seedlings' sensitive root system. Finally, advises Jordan, do not pick up more seedlings than can be properly transplanted within one week's time. Correct handling of the trees means higher survival rates and-increased cash return in later years for the tree farmer. 'Farmers Urged to File S. S. Reports Thousands of self-employed far- mers and their dependents have retired with Social Security bene- fits since 1954 wheni Congress ex- tended coverage to this group. To- day another 4% million people whose living depends upon farming are building Social Security pro- tection against the loss of income resulting from retirement, disabili- ty, or death. Urging farmers in this area to file prompt and accurate income and earnings reports for 1967, John V. Carey, Panama City Social Security District Manager, pointed out that failure to do so may re- sult in reduced Social Security be- nefits or the loss of benefits. "Now is a good time," Carey said, "for farmers to examine their re- cords -to see what they must'report on their Federal income returns for the past year." Also, he said, low-income farmers can build Social Security protec- tion. Carey cited a special optional provision in the law which enables farmers whose net earnings are less than $400 to acquire Social Se- curity credits. It works like this: If a farmer's gross income from KITCHEN CHATTER by Florida Power Corp. With the holiday season rapidly approaching, it is time to plan for fruit cakes.

This investment results in new "wonder drugs" which let 'us live our lives longer, healthier. Of the 275 million dollars invested last year more than 130 million dollars went for quality controlresearch. Improved precision meastcrin.g and compounding instruments were developed to make even more certain you receive exactly what your doctor prescribes. And the investment also went for developing improved methods of production. As the methods of manu- facturing improve, the price of the bulk drug decreases, This saving is passed on to you in lower prescription prices, The "gold pill" of yesterday is purchased today fora nomri- nal amount. Thus, a conscientious, developing industry works to improve the service and quality of the pharmaceu. ticals you receive today and tomorrow.

GAINOUS POST NO. 10069, Veterans of Foreign Wars, have advised the City Commis- sion of the City of Port St. Joe, Florida, that said organization is making a concerted effort to have located in our neighboring City of Wewahitchka, Gulf Coun- ty, Florida, a veterans hospital, or a facility thereof, and to that end have contacted the County Commission of Gulf County, Florida, who, if such venture is successful, have agreed to con- vey the old Courthouse premises to the Veterans Administration for hospital purposes, and WHEREAS, this Commission is further advised that the City Commission of the City of We- wahitchka, Florida have agreed to donate and contribute certain adjacent surplus property to the Veterans Administration for the purposes above stated, and WHEREAS, location of such a facility in Gulf County, Florida would be of great advantage and convenience to the citizens of the City of Port St. Joe who are vet- erans of the Armed Forces, as well as veterans in adjoining areas, the closest such facilities now being located at Lake City and Gainesville, Florida, and Mo- bile and Montgomery, Alabama, and WHEREAS, there is much ac- tive support for such a central- ly located V. A. facility; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Commis- sion of the City of Port St. Joe, Florida, in regular session- sitt- ing that: 1. This Commission does here- by commend the members of .JOHN C. GAINOUS POST NO. 10069, Veterans of Foreign Wars, for their efforts in the worthy.- endeavor of establishing a vet- erans hospital in Wewahitchka, Gulf County, Florida, and expres- ses its appreciation on behalf of the citizens of the City of Port St. Joe, Florida. 2. This Commisison fully en- dorses the project and agrees to lend its assistance to its suc- cessful completion, and assures the support of all the citizens of this City. 3. That copies of this Resolu- tion be furnished to the Com- mander of the JOHN C. GAIN- OUS POST NO. 10069, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and to local news media. ADOPTED by unanimous vote this 21st day of November, A. D., 1967. FRANK PATE, MAYOR-COMMISSIONER ATTEST: C. W. BROCK, City Clerk Gulf Coast College Singers Presenting 'Free Christmas Concert Friday Night Gulf Coast Junior College's famed "Christmas Con- cert", featuring the College Singers and the Concert Band, will be presented at 7:30 p.m., on Friday, December 8, in the Fine Arts Building, interested persons are remind- ed. The annual "Christmas Concert", which through the years has established a reputation as one of the finest cultural programs presented annually in Bay County, will climax a busy fall season for the new Fine Arts Auditor- ium. The auditorium, which seats more than 600 and which was completed just this fall, already has hosted a folk- singing trio sponsored by the Student Government Ly- ceum Commission, a "College Follies" sponsored by the GCJC Inter-Club Council, and a concert by the Rutherford High School Chorus. Among the music to be presented by the "College Singers", directed by Norman J. Hair, and the "Concert Band", directed by Prentiss Melder, are such numbers as "0 Bambino", "Mary, Mother, Sweet and Mild", and Faure's "Cantinque .De Jean Recine". All interested persons are invited to attend the con- cert, which is open to the public free of charge. Household Memory File If a book were written on the well-organized housewife chances are it would point out she writes books-note- books and notebooks full of facts and useful information that she calls her memory file. One of her special notebooks might be titled "Enter- taining." This would document her parties-menus that' proved successful and bear repeating; business and so-j cial acquaintances noted for future invitations. Even a few notations on friends' interests can prove so helpful in planning intimate dinner parties. Another important notebook ini the memory file would be titled "Gifts." Here would be kept lists of all gifts sent and the occasion involved, at last ending the problem of duplication. Aunt Mary won't receive a birthday wallet two years in a row. And friends' children won't remind you that you had given them the same gift last year after they open their Christmas packages. The one notebook in the memory file that should be a must in every household is the "Family Health Record."' An up-to-date record of recommended diets, prescriptions i filled, diseases and illnesses, vaccinations and shots. prove invaluable time after time especially when filling out school and camp health forms. The mother with these' records on hand never has to guess when her children last had their tetanus boosters or if they had the childhood' diseases to which they had been exposed in class. Other memory aids that would prove helpful to the well; organized homemaker include Household Cleaning Hints given by friends, Christmas Cards Sent and Received, Household Services and Repairs along with notes as to. the various firms' competence and reliability. A record of items that are tax deductible will keep hubby happy, and for the newly married a notebook of all money spent for. a year is a great help for future budget planning.
