The fire report -was called in by an unknown person at 12:59 A. M. the residence, located at 341 avenue C, was completely engulfed in fire when the fire de- partment arrived. It was necessary to use two pumpers to provett 'the entire area from catching 'with winds blowing 25-35 miles an hour. A house next to Thompsonrs had fire damage as a result of radimat heat. The bedding in the house, Ipeated at 339 avenue C, caught fire after a gas tank located at the Thompson residence built up pres- sure and blew the relief valve, in- creasing the heat in the confined' area. The bedding was quickly put !out and removed. The window facings and a garage located at 339 avenue C, were burned. Across the street and three doors down another house caught fire as a result of sparks from Thomp- son's house. This house caught fire on the roof but was also quickly put out. Sparks were falling all the way back to avenue A, some two blocks away. Thompson's house, when cooled down enough to search, was the Mrs. Ola Denton Wins Hi-Mom Contest Mrs. Ola Denton was winner of the, "Hi Mom," contest held during the month of December by Tele- phone Operators, Traffic Depart- ment, Local 3171 CWA of St. Joseph Telephone and Telegraph Company. .

Dr. McGuire's letter -explains more specifically, why accredita- tion was removed from Port St. Joe High School three weeks ago. * Dear Mr. Craig: I am sorry thatithe Florida Com- mittee saw fi't to recommend fhat Port St. Joe IHigh School be dropped from 'the accredited list. 'When a school is dropped there 'are usually 'several reasons. The major reason, however, in regard 'to Port St. Joe was the non-de- gree teacher. The Florida Committee has adopted the policy that hiring a -non-degree teacher (for other than strictly vocational purposes) would 'be dropped immediately. This policy was followed in re- gard to at least four -other schools in Florida this year. I reaTize there is a severe teach- er shortage and that you and the people in your countyy have been working very hard to meet South- ern Association Standards. I am sure, however, that you and the parents want college graduates, at least, for teachers in the se- condary schools. I hope that you understand -ur viewpoint in this matter, and I wish you much luck in trying to secure qualified ,teachers for the next school year.

Costin Increased rates for all classes of mail except parcel post and inter- national mail will go into effect January 7, Postmaster Chauncy Costin reminded postal customers today. "Even for the rates of six cents for first-Class mail and 10 cents for air mail, postal service is still a real bargain," the postmaster de- clared. "For six cents you can send a letter to any of the 50 States, to any United States territory or pos- Session, to -Canada or Mexico, or to an American Servicemanstation- .ed anywhere in the world." Postmaster Costin pointed out that the new rate for post cards will be five cents and for air mail post cards eight cents. He said the added cent in the letter rate is a 20 per cent in- crease compared to a 24 per cent boost in the rates for mailing news-' papers and magazines and a 34 per cent hike for advertising cir- figures released by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. Ports and waterways showing in- creases in 1966 are Carrabelle with a total of 43,481 tons (7 percent); Port St. Joe, 301,045 tons (18 per- cent); Gulf County Canal, 236,080 tons (41 percent); Bayou La Grange 106,358 tons (9 percent); Blackwa- ter River, 73,559 tons (22 percent); Escambia and Conecuh Rivers, 676,407 tons 6 percent); Pensacola, 730,324 tnos (12 percent); and Ba- you Chico, 100,863 tons 4 percent). Tonnage moving, on Bayou Chico is included in Pensacola Harbor. Some West Florida ports and in- land waterways showed small de- creases in 1966 from 1965. St. Marks River accounted for a total of 620,737 tons (1 percent); Pana- cea, 1,921 (3 percent); Apalachicola Bay 23,895 tons (30 percent); Apa- lachicola, Chattahoochee and Flint Rivers, 387,340 tons (7 percent); Panama City, 1,244,067 tons 14 per- cent); and East Pass Channel, 393 tons (29 percent). Tonnage moving over the busy Gulf Intracoastal Waterway be- tween Apalachee Bay and Panama City amounted to 1,371,864 tons in 1966; between Panama City and Pensacola, 3,124,816 tons; and be- tween Pensacola and Mobile, 3,- 782,078 tons. The delay in reporting 1966 fig- ures is due to major changes in statistical information collecting and recording procedures, accord- ing to a Corps of Engineers spokes- man. Due to the interest of the students and their de- sire to promote the appreciation of art in Port St. Joe, the Gulf Art Association was organized in December 1966. Mrs. W. B. Simmons serves as pre- sident of the association.

Danger Still Real TALLAHASSEE With all eyes on the clock and inter- est in what the new year will bring, the Florida Highway Patrol today reminded drivers that the most critical per- iod of time to consider is not next year but instead the next minute. Colonel H. N. Kirkman, director of the Department of Public Safety, said, "At the close of the year when we look to the future we are inclined to view time as endless and overlook the realities of the moment. The most important time for any driver to consider is always the next minute." Crowded highways are expected as usual over the New Years weekend. Based on past records the Patrol expects 26 lives to be lost in crashes during the 78-hour period from 6:00 P.M. Friday, December 29 through midnight January 1, 1968. "Let's end the old year and start the new year right by proving this prediction wrong," concluded Kirkman. We can do it if every driver will devote all of his attention to safe driving every minute."

This year we found what we think is a more appropriate subject in a terse comment made by a refugee from Cuba a few days ago. This man, an ex-cab driver from New York, went to live in Cuba before Castro took over. His comment, upon setting foot on US soil: "I wouldn't live in Castro's Cuba if they gave me a dollar for every minute I spend there." The refugee, Puerto Rican-born Amerigo Puig, then ex- plained his distaste for the sanctuary we have given Com- munism in the Caribbean. Castro's regime stripped him of $25,000, his life savings, which he had saved while working in New York. But that was only part of it. Food, which Cuba once exported, is so scarce that people have to rely on the black market where a chicken worth $2 costs $10, where rice is officially listed at 19 cents a pound but costs $2.25 and where meat is quoted at 35 cents a pound but costs $5. You don't have to take Amerigo Puig's word for the fact that Communist Cuba is a pretty miserable place. Seventy others got out with him. They aren't talking, beyond saying they're afraid to talk for fear of endangering relatives still in Cuba. Which is pretty eloquent testimony of a silent na- ture. We bring these things up as a reminder that when com- parisons are made, the United States is pretty wonderful. And when comparisons aremade-with countries with a so- cialistic form of government, whether it's the British type, the Swedish-"middle way," or the brutal type found in the- USSR, China or Cuba-the United States is a veritable para- dise, for citizens of all creeds and colors. The moral, in the form of a New Year's resolution for 1968: "Let's defend and strengthen the wonderful system that has been given us, and cherish it, each and everyone."

RIVERTON, WYO., RANGER New Charter Issued For Gulf Corporation Secretary of State, Tom Adams, this week announced the charter- ing of a new Corporation in Gulf County. The new Corporation, George W. Hull, Inc., lists as its address, Route 3, Box 83, Highway 98 West, Port St. Joe. The Corporation will deal in the motel and restaurant business and is authorized to have 100 shares of common stock at $100.00 per share. The petition for charter was filed December 13, 1967 by J. Ernest Collins of Panama City. The incorporators are George W. Hull, Izabella M. Hull, both of Port St. Joe and Ilona H. McMullen, of Largo. March of Dimes Physician Demands More Science in Choice of Spouse No one wants to rule out romance as the lure that leads boy and girl along the happy highway to love and marriage. But science should also play an impor- tant part in selecting a life- long mate. So argues Dr. David B. Shurtleff, well known as a re- searcher in pediatrics and med- ical director of the March of Dimes Birth Defects Center at the University of Washington School of Medicine, Seattle. He feels more attention should be paid to the /medical and genetic background of the boy who meets girl and vice versa. Today virtually the only medical test required for a marriage license in 46 of the 50.states is the Wassermann or' some comparable test for syph- ilis. Dr Shurtleff believes a loti more attention should be :paid, to family pedigrees, metabolic studies, chromosome analyses: and any other laboratory pro- cedures that might disclose, in prospective fathers and moth- ers, hidden physical and men- tal traits likely to cause the birth of defective infants. "If we don't establish these tests-and I am talking about mandatory tests-we'fe only kidding ourselves when we talk about our 'enlightened so- ciety,' he declares. "We Americans say we are a sensible, realistic people. We cannot justify procreating, year after- year, tens of thousands of babies who are crippled, mentally damaged' or suffer from inborn errors of metabo- lism. "Please note that I am not saying that a couple should be forbiddeni marriage if their genetic and other prospects are unfavorable. But I want this a -IR YOUNG PATIENT is tested by Dr. David B.

Then, with their eyes open, they can decide to forget the whole thing, or marry and take their chances of having defective in- fants. They could also elect to "dopt' children. "I believe that within a dec- ade we will see certain states and various organizations em- bracing enlightened attitudes that will assist the medical profession' in preventing cer- tain catastrophic birth defects. For this I must pay tribute in part to the educational labors of the March of Dimes." Nom Etaoin Shrdlu By WESLEY R. RAMSEY If you should ever have to spend Christmas in the hospital, we don't believe you could ever find a better place for the dubious exper- ience than Port St. Joe's Municipal Hospital. I know "Christmas in the hospital" doesn't sound very inviting, but the people at Municipal see that your holiday and every day is as pleasant as possible. Even through your stay at Municipal will be pleasant, we feel it our duty to warn you of things to look for. First off, there's the administrator, Miss Minerva McLane . she's sneaky! Oh, she's all right everywhere except in her operating room where she also presides as anesthetist., Outside this operating room she is just as nice as pie. Why, she even brought me the news- paper every morning, when she was on duty. But she got me in that-d operating room Thursday morning at 9:00 A. M. and we took off into a lively conversation of current events. Miss Mac started giving me glucose. "We give everybody glucose just before we operate," she said. All of a sudden cute little Vivian Ray was bathing my face with a wet cloth, asking if I was awake. I heard her, but for the life of me, I couldn't move my mouth to answer. You see, Miss Mac had slip- ped me the sleep juice while I wasn't looking. Vivian and Glenda Burke are the "taxi drivers" between the rooms and the operating room.. among many other things. Then there's three other nurses you must watch out for: Mrs. McClamma, Mrs. Boone and Mrs. Booth. All carry wicked needles. Mrs. McClamma shoots from the hip; Mrs. Boone shoots for the hip and Mrs. Booth isn't choosy where she shoots you. All the rest, that we came into contact with, offer only good things. People like Mrs. Hoover, always solicitious every day. no needles or pills; both of the Mrs. Grace. who dispenses the same brand of medicine as Mrs. Hoover. Chester Davis, Mrs. Knight, Mrs. Marshall, Mrs. Byrd, Kathy Jamison, Suzanne Antley, and many others... regular rays of sunshine. One thing about Municipal. you'll stay comfortable and well fed. You are well looked after. We never once had to call for any- thing. Someone was in the room every 20 minutes checking our needs and wants. Municipal is just another of many reasons why we are lucky to live in Port St. Joe, where we have so many of the good things of of life. but I'm afraid too few of us appreciate it. * Tom Adams is at it again. "Uncle Tom" now says the Commit- tee on Quality Education didn't take enough time to properly study school needs. But when Governor Kirk advocated a December 1968, special session on schools, "Uncle Tom" said Kirk was dragging his feet. Just what does "Uncle Tom" believe? other than the fact he is convinced he should be King of Florida? * An optimistic friend says that the Administration must have run out V'f things to tax if the only additional source of revenue it can think of is a tax on taxes.

Boyles I PAGE FOIU BI HE STAR, Port St. Joe, Florida THURSDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1967 Early Dete 'Help Defe; "What is cancer? All of us are well aware that cancer is a serious health prob- lem, one of the major killers. But .how many. of us really know what cancer is? A-pamphlet of the American Medical Afsociation explains that during the process of cell division -the basis of normal body growth and repair-cells become differ- 'entiatcd into, the specific kinds needed for each- organ or body function. Each kind of cell.divides nto its own kind, equipped to do the job it was designed to do. Under certain conditions not yet -coin- pletely understood, some cells do not differentiate in this way. They multiply in irregular and disor. derly fashion and compete with normal cells for nutrition asid space. These cell masses are called tumors. Tumors. that remain local- ized are benign tumors and nay- not be troublesome unless. they mechanically interfere with some body function. Tumors that grow rapidly and destroy tissue' are known as malignant tumors. These are called cancers. Cancers may affect any part .of the human body. They also attack aninials and even plants. VISIT CHILDREN Mr. and Mrs. Jack Sheffield and son Donnie spent Christmas in Madison with their son and daugh- ter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Jackie Sheffield. They also visited with Mr. Sheffield's Aunt, Mrs. R. E. Daniels, in the Colquit Hospital, Colquit, Georgia., action Will at Cancer In man (and most animals) the unrestrained growth of cancer cells will infiltrate vital organs and destroy them if not checked. Cancers spread by infiltrating ad- jacent tissue, by traveling through the circulatory system and lym- phatic system, or by any combi- nation of these. The cause of cancer in man is not known. If treated promptly and properly, some cancers are highly curable. One-third of all cancers in the United States are being cured today. Cancers are most readily curable before they have spread from their original locations. To be cured, they must Sbe found early. More than 300,000 persons will die of cancer in this country this year. About one-third of these might have been saved through earlier detection and treatment. 121867 WIMBERLY'S VISIT Sgt. and Mrs. Clifford Wimberly- and son, Franklin Clifford, from, Marine Corps Air Station, Buford, S.

Using primarily the ports of Ja-k- sonville and Port St. Joe, the Or- _ ganic Chemicals Group moves over- seas about one-fourth of its sales of Florida pine chemicals. Last year, well in excess of 10,- 000 tons of Tall Oil and Terpene Chemicals moved from this group's Florida chemicals plants to overseas industrial customers. Glidden-Durkee Organic Chemi- cals total over fifty products from two pine derivatives as raw mater- ial; almost all of these chemical-, products ii Florida have been ship- ped to. foreign markets by the com- pany. The larger-volume chemicals are Pine Oils and Dipentene ( sol- vent) from Jacksonville and Tall Oil Rosin and Tall Oil Fatty Acid from Port St. Joe. Also exported are perfumery and intermediate chemicals, plus essential oils. In 1967, these chemicals were shipped to Australia, Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, England, France, Formosa, Germany, Holland, Honduras, Italy, India, Israel, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, Scotland and the Union of South Africa, to name a few of the larger volumes out of some 35 countries receiving Flor- ida pine chemicals by Glidden- Durkee last year. Predominant shipment was by bulk tankers, moving the chemicals to overseas distributors. Other large shipments included drummed chemicals, or in deck tanks, or in Sea-Land con- tainer tanks. Ultimate use of these chemicals overseas varies widely, but the primary applications are solvents, paper sizing (water proof- ing), cleaner-disinfectants, pharma-' ceuticals, perfumes and flavors.

Comp- troller Fred 0. (Bud) Dickinson. Jr. reported this week. In addition, Dickinson reported that revenue from the three per cent tax has brought more than $123 million to the state in the first five months of the fiscal, and 8 per cent hike over revenue for the same period last year. Dickinson likewise indicated that two related sources of revenue, the 5 per cent wholesale sporting goods tax and the gasoline tax "are experiencing vigorous growth." Profit shown by the sporting goods tax has risen 28.3 per cent in the first five months over col- lections for a similar period one year ago while gasoline tax pro- fit has increased 5. 8 per cent sig- nificantly bolstering the state bank balance. KITCHEN CHATTER by Florida Power Corp. Since there are many hunters in this area, Ihave heard quite a few women say that they preferred roasted duck for the holidays, to the traditional turkey. This has prompted me to pass on a few tips on preparing the duck. Roast Duck Allow at least one pound per per- son. Serve with orange glaze. Roast with a stuffing or not, as desired. Instead of stuffing, put in- side 2 cored and quartered apples or one cup of celery leaves. It is not necessary to truss ducks as they have short legs and wings. Place on a rack in an open roast- ing pan. Roast at 325 degrees F. until tender (about 30 minutes per pound). Do not baste, since ducks are fat. Prick in several places so that some of the fat will drain off. Turn often to brown evenly. Pour off the fat as it accumulates. Orange Glaze % cup orange juice 1 tablespoon orange rind Y teaspoon cloves 1/3 cup brown sugar % ciup light corn syrup Combine all ingredients. Legal Adv.

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 control research. Improved precision measuring 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. fracturing improve, the price of the. bulk drug decreases, This-saving is passed onto you in lower prescription prices, The "gold pill" of yesterday is purchased today for a nomi- nal amount. Thus, a conscientious, developing industry works to improve the service and quality of the pharmaceu. ticals you receive today and tomorrow. For the highest pharmaceutical standards, low prices consistent with quality and the personal attention you can always depend upon; bring your prescriptions tc' OURe Rxal PHARMACY Buzzett's Drug Store 317 Williams Ave. Drive-iln Window Service ALABAMA VISITORS .

(Bud) Dickinson, Jr. reported today that receipts of the state racing tax enabled the release of $871,000 to Florida counties during December. Dickinson said that each coun- ty's share amounted to $13,000, the same amount dispersed per county for the same month of 1966. At the same time, however, Dickinson noted a gain in county benefits for the first two months of the 1967-68 racing season. Each county has realized $3,000 more in dividends in this two-month period than for a like period in the pre- ceding year.

Port St. Jee,,Ftarid THURSDAY, DECEMBElt -=, MWlt [ Do-it-yourself ear piercing, a practice that has recently become fashionable again, is risky, says Today's Health, the family maga- zine of the American Medical Association. Piercing performed by an unskilled person increases the chances of infection and the de- velopment of scar tissue. The physician will carefully measure and mark the ears before piercing, because both ears may not be exactly alike. After piercing the ears with a sterile needle, he will insert temporary earrings or me- tallic wires, which are usually worn for three or four weeks until the wounds heal. This is a critical period and your physician's in- structions should be followed care- fully to prevent infection or clos- ure of the opening. The small, self-piercing ear- ring loops which are being pro- moted across the country are not considered safe, says Today's Health. These devices have sharp points which are supposed to pierce the ears within a few days as they are worn. Infections re- quiring medical treatment have developed from the use of these self-piercers. Furthermore, it is difficult to be certain that the piercers are evenly placed on the ear lobes. infection or if small cysts are present in the ear lobe. Persons subject to keloids (scar over- growth) or who 'have this ten- dency in their family, or those who are allergic to nickel or other metals should not have their cars pierced. A recent article in the Jour- nal of the American Medical As- sociation reported on two public school nurses who were "aghast at. the number of girls with irri- tated, swollen and oozing ear lobes. In a class of 80 sopho- mores, ten had their ears pierced in the previous three months, and six of them reported inflammation and itching." Ear piercing is not a very difficult procedure, but it can be risky in the hands of a non- physician. 122567 |
