A new product now in production here in Port St. Joe at the Glidden- Durkee plant is being publicized throughout the United States; ori- ginal publicity appeared in the "Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter" magazine (a national trade maga- zine) in late December, 1967. The product is Glidden Organic Chem- icals improved Tall Oil Rosin, said to be one of the finest in the over- all rosins market. Superiority of this new industrial chemical now in full production here is its ex- ceptionally light color, odorless- ness, and thermal stability. Mr. W. B. Stoufer, Organic Chem- icals Group Manufacturing Direc- tor, said, "Glidden's new Port St. Pate Named to FLM Committee Jacksonville, Florida (FLM). Frank Pate, Mayor of Port St. Joe, has been appointed to serve as a member of the COMMITTEE ON MUNICIPAL PUBLIC RELA- TIONS of the Florida League of Municipalities for 1968. League President John J. Crews, Jr., in appointing Mayor Pate, stated, "the committee was established this year to foster and promote good relations be- tween the city governments and their citizens." The committee is also expected to discuss ways of i, better informing the public as to their activities. President Crews commended the Port St. Joe Mayor for his continued interest in improving Municipal government and ex- pressed his appreciation for the participation of Port St. Joe in the League's activities. Joe product is the result of many months of development by Jerry Watkins 'and Charles Smith at the plant, plus hard work and cooper- ation of all the personnel who la- bored to design, build and bring on-stream this leading new tall oil chemical." Marketing people for Glidden have mailed a 5 pound sample of this "A Number One" rosin to all their leading industrial customers, and followed with a telegram to each telling them the sample was on its way. In February, officials of the Organic Chemicals Group plan color ads in several trade mag- azines nationally; "after all", they said, "when you've got one of the market's leading rosins in color, why not show it!" Anyone in Port St. Joe who would like to see a sample of Glid- den's Improved Tall Oil Rosin made here, can stop 'by the regional of- fice at 303 Reid Avenue-a sample of this new rosin is on display there, along side samples bf other rosin, so you can observe Glidden rosin's color superiority.

Glidden Producing New High Grade Rosin Here W s THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Florida THRUSDAY, FEBRUARY 1 1968 PAGE TWO EDITORIALS... A Citizen Speaks Out To a society as large and diverse as this one, large government is a necessity._ To a nation as strong as this one, strong government is indispensable. There are many things that can be done only by government and best by government. There are other things, however, that can be done only by the private organizations and individual citizens working together and best by them. There is a feature in the nature of government that keeps it from accomplishing many things that need to be done. An understanding of that factor both inside and outside of government would do much to explain' the fre- quent frustration caused when well-intentioned programs do not live up to expectations. The feature is that no matter how positive a govern- ment wants to be and no matter how positive the state- ments of its officials are, its efforts are often negative in execution. Government can pass laws against theft, but no -law can make a people want to be honest. Government can pass laws forbidding the abridgment of freedom of reli- gion, but no law can make a people want to worship God. Government can pass laws against drunkenness, but no law can make a people want sobriety. . Even in its attempt to assure basic civil rights to all citizens, which appears positive, government can only pass laws against denying a member of any race the right to live wherever he wants and to work wherever he quali- fies. No law can make families, neighborhoods, employ- ers or workers want to share what they have with mem- bers of another race. iGovernment can and does try to stop people from do- ing undesirable things, but it cannot make them want to do desirable things. The real danger to freedom today, as well as the cause i of much frustration, anger and bewilderment, is that too many people are looking to the government to grant free- dom, assure rights, build prosperity and create brother- hood"--things no government in" history has ever been' equipped to do alone. Many people expect the government to do what only they can do for themselves. Our nation faces an apparent widespread deteei6ra- tioli in personal integrity, seen in practically eyery seg-" ment Mid level of society, from the repairman who does - shoddy work to the factory worker who gives no thought to the. quality of the product he is making . the-clerk who fdkes office stamps the salesman who pads'.his expense account the manager who cheats o6i his taxes ". the attorney who recommends an un- justified lawsuit .'to the physician who might expand Sa medical report to inflate the insurance payment to him- self and his patient. It also is seen atfevery level of gov- ernment, from censure proceedings in our highest legis- lative bodies to a city where national guard troops are, mustered to prevent election abuses. Government alone cannot solve this problem. There already are laws against all, of these things. The solu- tion can come only from a heightened desire by all peo- ple to be honest themselves and a willingness to insist on integrity in their neighbors, associates and elected officials. Leaders in government understandably see it as their duty to do for the people of, this country whatever they believe, or whatever they are told by citizen groups, is not already being done equitably, effectively and effi- ciently by the private sectors of society. When private citizens abdicate their responsibilities and ask the government to do a job, government responds in the only way it can: it passes more laws and usually appropriates more money. And every time another law is passed, it means another small or large restriction on somebody's freedom. As citizens, in other words, we have this choice when facing a situation that needs correcting. We can do it Ourselves; or we can ask the government to pass a law Too Late To Classify By RUSSELL .KAY The thought of Abraham Lin- Although Lincoln wore a beard on- coln without a beard is like think- ly about four years, those years ing of John F.

THe spolan word is lost; the printed wo remains. that says we must not fail to do it-and that sets up an administrative mechanism'to enforce the prohibition. The former choice is by far the best way to meet a situation, at least from the standpoint of economy and independence; and often from the standpoint of speed, efficiency and effectiveness, depending on the nature of the problem. The government will be called on to help. Its resour- ces and responsibilities certainly cannot and should not be overlooked. But the initiative, leadership -and work should remain in the hands of the citizens. THE GOVERNOR STATES HIS CASE Governor Claude Kirk proposed before the Florida Legislature Monday that the state sales tax be raised to five per cent with groceries and medicines exempted and that approval of the sales tax increase be approved or disapproved by the people of the State of Florida. The Governor has, in effect, said, "let the people of the State of Florida decide whether or not they are willing to pay extra money for education". In the past, the Florida Education Association has worked on the premise, that the people are willing to pay *more tax for the schools. They have used in their pub- lic relations work the fact that the citizens are "willing and able to pay". Governor Kirk wants to see if this is so. It has not been a well kept secret that Governor Kirk has favored this approach, with its attendant referendum. The FEA has, for the past few weeks rattled its resigna- tions should the "matter of proceeding with quality edu- cation be delayed further by referendums". Governor Kirk must have felt they had a legitimate claim for haste because he called for his plan to go into effect on March 15. This would eliminate any delays in waiting for a referendum. But if the referendum, which Kirk called for May 7 (the day of the first Demo- cratic primary when most people will vote) the newly incurred tax increases would be lifted on June 30.' The bug has been placed on the back of John Q. Citi- zen. The question in our mind is this. Since Kirk has elim- inated any undue delay in instigating a, new program; since he has called for a positive program, running al- most parallel with FEA demands; since Kirk also worked in his desire for a referendum; what will the FEA do if' ;the people of Florida vote down'the t#a increase? Now there's one to chew on,, I We must remember that the 'FRA has said all along that their. fight is not with citizens oriilocal School boards, but directed against the Legislature and particularly Gov- ernor Kirk. But, of course, all of this is mere conjecture until we see if the Legislature, in special session, is going to go Along with the Governor's; suggestion. Abe and his beard became synony- mous, enjoying the same public ac- ceptance as the role on his right cheek. As we approach another Lin- coln's Birthday, the story of how Abe came to grow a beard so late in life becomes of more than pass- 9ng interest, While I have read many books about the fained statesman, none of them to hy memory had any- thing to say on the subject and I was delighted to find a heart-warm- ing account of "Why Lincoln Grew a Beard" in the February issue of the Reader's Digest. I doubt if you will find mention of Grace Bedell of upstate New York, an 11 year old admirer, who. was directly responsible for the President's decision to adorn him- self yith whiskers, in any book about Lincoln, but it was a letter from this youthful little lady that caused Lincoln to consider a beard. Studying the first photograph she had ever 'seen, a picture of Abraham Lincoln brought home from the fair by her father, she be- came distressed by the hollow cheeks and gaunt appearance of her hero. She visioned the face adorned with whiskers that would hide such features. Chewing her pencil she sat in her attic room and write a letter to Mr. A. B. Lincoln telling him that in her opinion if he were to grow a beard it would improve his ap- pearance, assuring him that his looks would be much improved and since all ladies of that day admired whiskers it would endear him to them, causing them to urge their husbands to vote for him. When Grace's letter arrived at Lincoln's campaign headquarters secretaries sorting the mail were about to throw it in the waste basket when Lincoin himself en- tered the room and asked to see the bothersome letter from some un- known little girl. Both amused and impressed, the great man instructed his secretary to write the yound lady express- ing his appreciation for her inter- est and suggestion which he would give careful consideration. Governor Launches Series of "Town Meetings" Today TALLAHASSEE Governor Claude R. Kirk, Jr. will launch a series of "Town Meetings" in Panama City today. The Governor plans to spend the day in each of fourteen Florida cities during February and March. On each day, the Governor will schedule meetings with business and civic leaders, and he will con- tinue the series of five-minute in- terviews with the public. Governor Kirk will block out a period of time for these five-minute meetings, which will, be held in a mobile "home located near the central core of each city. The Governor will hold a news conference ,in each city, and he 'will also be available for individual news interviews as time permits. Each day will conclude with a "Family Night with the Governor" fish-fry or barbeque, which will be open to the public. The cities and dates scheduled for February and March are: Panama City, February 1; Fort Pierce, February 9; Naples, Febru- ary 13; Fort Lauderdale, Febru- ary 14; Jacksonville, February 2'; Cocoa Beach, February 23;' Lake- land, February 27; Tampa March 6; Ocala, March 7; Daytona Beach, March 18; Pensacola, March 21; St. Petersburg, March 26; Orlando - Leesburg, February 28. Sometime later, a special train carrying the newly elected Lincoln o write the young lady express- Westfield and the Bedell family in- cluding little Grace were on hand to get a glimpse of the new Chief Executive. The President stated that he had no speech to make and no time to make one "but it seems I have a special admirer in this communi- ty, a Miss Grace Bedell, and if she is in the crowd I would appreciate it if she would come forward ,to re- ceive my thanks for her suggestion that I grow a beard." Her parents promptly brought her proudly to the trair platform where Lincoln was waiting. Reach- ing down he lifted the little girl and permitted her to' feel the growth of whiskers he was deve- loping. ' If you visit the Lincoln Memorial house in Springfield, you will find displayed there thle original letter written by Grace Bedell, and the President's carefully worded reply remained in the Bedell family until it was sold two years ago to movie producer David Wolper for $20,000. By the .time you read this, the special session of the Florida Legislature will be under way .attempting to solve the "crisis in education in Florida". It is our hope that both sides of the matter will go into the program with an open mind and interest ONLY in the schools and school children of the State of Florida, keeping in mind what the taxpayer can afford to pay. It is time now to forget the agrandizement of any person, par- ty or group in the state. Grown men should act like grown men and not like the children we hope to educate. This is not aimed at anyone in particular, but to everybody involved from Gov- ernor Kirk to the Florida Education Association. Both have been far too adamant in their wants and wishes. And speaking of wants and wishes It is our hope that our "wants"; and those of the FEA and the Governor also; will be put in the background and the "needs" of the educational-and we stress the word educational-progress of our children be upper- ' most in our planning. As someone said this week, there is a big, big difference in what we need and what we must have. But, without trying to be pessimistic, we fear that both sides will get to feuding and fussing again before the session is over, about some inconsequential thing that has nothing at all to do with providing facilities for a student to learn. * We saw a report the other day that Gulf County is one of two counties in the State of Florida that is losing population. If memory serves me correctly, I believe the other county was Liberty. We are accustomed to seeing reports of Northwest Florida counties losing population. But in the past these reports have listed only such counties as Calhoun, Washington and Holmes, along with Liberty. These counties were not listed in the recent study made by a division of the University of Florida. We are wondering where Gulf is losing population. More and more houses are being built in Port St. Joe every year. City records show that approximately $100,000 was spent last year in new homes in the City Limits of Port St. Joe alone. And yet, there are very few housing vacancies in the City. Wewahitchka seems to maintain its population, with a few new homes being built there each year also. So where is the population exodus centered in Gulf? We think these reported facts are based on school enrollment which has, indeed, shown a small decrease in enrollment over last year. -But, we must remember that the last of the bumper crop of "war babies" graduated: last year and was the major reason-for school enrollment showing the very slight decrease that it has. ': ' ; The only proper" way to determine population is to count.,' noses, and we believe. that a head count will show that Gulf County is not losing population maybe not gaining but not losing either. i * Did the Jaycees call on you last week for you to fill out an. "opinion sheet" as to the quality of services offered in Port St. Joe along xitHi your suggestions for improvements? We think this type survey is a good thing. 1A will serve to point out the short- comings of our city. Deficiencies are so hard to see if we look at them everyday. We more or less come to accept them at face value without any thought for corrections. ) We plan to look at the Jaycee report on this project and do a .little reporting to you. The results of the survey should prove interesting, to say the least. i Efaoin Shrdlu By WESLEY R. RAMSEY .? . -.

Shark Notes by SHARON DAVIS IC, The 7-11 grades took the Chipola tests this week. They were tested ,on achievements and grades 9-11 were also given intelligence tests, The purpose of these tests is to let the student know where he is and also to help teachers improve instructional work. The seventh grade geography classes invited Mrs. George Tap-. per to talk to them about Russia which hey .re beginning to stu- dy. Included in her talk was the fact that there are n0o taxes in Russia because the .-government owns everything. She said the buildings were poorly construct- ed because they were so hastily built. Russians love literature and art and enjoy opera. Mrs. Tapper's visit was very much en- joyed by all classes present. The National Aeronautics and Space Association will present an assembly program on Monday, Feb- ruary 5. Southeast School Assem- blies will present a Shakespearian play on February 6.

Traffic Deaths Lower In 1967 TALLAHASSEE The first reduction of highway deaths for Florida in six years was an- nounced today by the Florida Highway Patrol after totaling the fatalities for 1967. Colonel H. N. Kirkman, direc- tor of the Department of Public Safety, said, "There were 1,773 traffic deaths in 1967 compared with 1,819 persons killed in 1966. This is the first year since 1961 that the fatality count has been lower than in a previous year." The reduction occurred while the miles traveled and the num- ber of licensed drivers increased. The Department's records for the past 20 years show there have been a total of 23,658 lives lost and 880,922 persons injured in traffic crashes. Colonel Kirkman, said, "These figures would indicate that while we have managed a reduction in fatalities in 1967, the tragic toll from these wrecks shows that safe driving is still a major con- cern for every citizen in our State, and unless we drive de- fenslvely any of us might be next.'" scribed burn as it's called by some tree farmer decides but a forester can be a. very valuable forest can help bring it off successfully. by CHARLES REEVES County Fthe forester's reoster- A controlled burn or pre- burn should contact a forester..The scribed burn as it's called by some tree farmer decides, but a forester - can be a. very valuable forest can help bring it off successfully.

His wife and children had been killed by the Nazis: his was now a life, of indifference, lovelessness and bitterness. His efforts inclined, late in life, toward finding a new purpose for living. Trying devel- oped hope, hope brought compas- sion for others and, having re- lieved the sufferings of another hu- man being, Gideon became a well man. "The Last of the Levanos" by Maurits -Wertheim is found in your public library. Isom Dart, freed from the bond- age of slavery, obeyed his former master's advice to seek a better life "across the river". He wanted to go where one man's skin was as good as another. The search was long and hard. The final episode occurred on the banks of the Pur- gatoire River where he faced his enemy at last and found that final freedom that had been promised him. "One More River to Cross" is written by Will Henry and is in your public library. "The Peach Stone" is the lead story of a collection by Paul Gal- lico. The arrangement of the book features stories of childhood, -youth, maturity and old age. The settings, backgrounds and subject matter of these stories are varied through there is action in each one. From the pen of a master, this book can be found at your public library.: S4 Jimmy L. Robinson Begins Field Training HOHENFELS, GER. (AHTNC) - Army Specialist Four Jimmy L.
