TWELVE PAGES In This Week's Issue 10c PER COPY THE STAR "Port St. Joe-The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" THIRTY-FIRST YEAR PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, 32456 THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 1968 NUMBER 29 City Notified to Make Plans To Correct Pollution Problem The City of Port St. Joe receiv- ed a notice from the Florida Air and Water.Pollution, Commission this. week, stating that the City 'has not offered sufficient assur- ,rance that they will correct pol- lution caused by the City's sew- age disposal system. Port St. Joe, along with virtual-, .ly every city and industry in the State was notified in December that its sewage 'disposal system is cuttingg out pollutants in the 'form of solids. To correct this, the City plans to install a sec- ondary treatment system. The City now operates a primary sys- tem, the same as 90% of the ci- ties of the State. Commissioner. Bob Fox said that he was in Jacksonville last week (home base of the Air and Water Pollution Commission) 'and told.them the City had en- gaged an'engineering firmh to be- gin work on solving the problem. The December warning had given the City 90 days to begin taking steps toward coming up with a plan for solution. Fox said evidently the City's engineers, also of Jacksonville, apparently had not notified the Commission that they had been engaged by the City for solving of the pol- lution problem. The original citation to the City pointed out that the City was "disposing of primary ef- fluent which does not provide adequate waste treatment". The document also stated that "within 90 days of receipt of this notice, you shall furnish evi- dence of engineer retention and evidence of corrective procedure and schedule for construction of control measures." The City has complied with the first. portion of the "shall do's", but engineers have not yet had enough time to provide an acceptable corrective procedure. Plans of the City are to pro- ceed with construction of a pri- mary sewage disposal system. They had embarked on this pro- ject even before the notice from the State Committee came in December.

Brock Apprises Commission Of Changes In Tax Laws City Auditor and Clerk, Char- les Brock reported to the City Commission Tuesday night that the Comptroller of the State of Florida has made sweeping changes in the taxing procedure of cities in the State of Florida. Brock, along with other audi- tors and clerks in the State, was called to Orlando last week by Comptroller Fred Dickinson, to explain the new requiremerits, under new state laws. Brock said that one of the changes made is that cities must certify their tax rolls and pro-. posed budgets with the Comptrol- ler, just as the county must do, for acceptance or rejection. The reason for this new move, .is. to be certain that cities are properly assessing property at values approved by the-state, and to police the new 10. mill limit allowed cities. Brock reported that if the city doesn't put forth full effort un- der state guidelines to adequate- ly finance its own operations,' then penalties will be applied by withholding a portion of the city's share iji cigarette taxes. Brock said that he anticipates' no problems, since he has fol- loeved valuations set by thq coun- ty wherever he .could, and the county has met with no displea- sure from the Comptroller on its valuations. Another change in the tax law pertaining to the city, is that business houses must now de- clare their inventories and per- sonal 'property (fixtures, :equip- ment, etc.) In the past, both of these categories have been leump- ed under "personal property" for city taxing purposes. The rea- son for, the change, is that inven- tory taxing is now done at a dif- ferent rate than personal proper- ty. The Clerk said that he 'had hand delivered forms to local businesses to fill out for the new taxing program and has request- ed them back by April 1. INSURANCE PROGRAM Agents of the Life of Georgia Insurance Company presented a plan of insurance to the Commis- sion Tuesday night to give cover- age for all City employees and their families. T h e presentation provided for life insurance, hospital in- surance, disability payment and various other benefits. The Commission asked for time to study the plan and take it up with their employees. CHIEF TO MEETING It was unanimously voted, at the suggestion of Commissioner Tom Coldewey, that Chief of Po- lice H. W. Grifin be sent to Or- lando, April fourth, to learn the use of new police tools. The purpose of the police school is to train police in the use of new tools, approved by the Legislature in testing for drunkenness. Coldewey also read a letter of commendation to the Police De- partment for quick, effective ac- tion taken a few weeks ago, when the city suffered a power fail- ure. The letter, from Florida Power Corporation, lauded the Police for quick notification of the proper parties in the emer- gency. A run-away truck wheel hit the front end of this sedan last Thursday evening inflicting heavy damage. --Star photo Truck Wheel Hits Car Mrs. Roberta Harden narrowly escaped serious injury last Thursday evening, as she was traveling home after work. Mrs. Harden was driving to- ward Wewahitchka" about five miles north of White City when she met a pulpwood truck. As she was meeting the truck one of its rear wheels came off and struck the front of Mrs. Harden's 1965 sedan on the dri- very's side. Driver of the truck was Waitus Jones of Port St Joe. Mrs. Harden's vehicle traveled 127 feet before coming to a halt in the ditch. Florida Highway Patrolman Ken, Murphy, who investigated the accident estimated the dam- ages to the automobile at 800.00. No charges were filed. Military Burial for Local Man Killed In Vietnam Mrs. C. G. Rish Displays New Voting Machines Supervisor of Elections, Mrs. C. G.

Let's Protect Our "B One of the favorite subjects for worry these days is the condition' of tlhe dollar and how possible erosion of 'this monetary yardstick may affect us personally. One of the biggest tops' of conversation, is "how did we get in this fix and how do we correct'it?" The President has proposed several points of action designed to strengthen the dollar and stop the outward flow of U. S. currency to other nations. 'These are the dollars that are turning up 'at the London, Paris and Swiss gold exchange centers for redemption in gold. We have "bought foreign'" on credit and our creditors., are now collecting their debts. So, while we blame DeGaulle for starting the run on U. S. gold, we have nobody to blame but ourselves for ,al- lowing enough money to flow out of this country to gnaw away at, ard finally deplete our gold reserve. In a recent column by John Chamberlain he noted the puny measures 'to'conserve the dollar--notably the tax 'placed against tourists for traveling abroad and spending too much money. But Chamberlain goes on to quote in- stance after instance of government spending policies which have ;served to put us in this,mess. One contract for jet engines would cause us to lose more than $7 bil- lion on the balance of payments. And there were other instances of purchasing abroad, when there are tax-pay- ing American businesses ready and willing to provide the same services at no danger to the U. S. gold supply. , And it might also be pointed out that Americans can't buy the U. S. hoard of gold only foreigners. We can draw a parallel here and liken Port St. Joe to the United States. The positions are about the, same., .Th-re is a lIt of business here in Port St. Joe. People' Itake-and spend-,-a lot of' money. Yet, we hear talk inpally of an economy that isn't as live as it should .a'e money is being turned loose each week, yet we llt 'seem to feel the thriving atmosphere which we onld. , Then we face a week or two with the paper mill down. t,/ie -cognizant of the fact that Michigan Chemical s contemplatingg shutting down 'and selling the plant.

We face a period of belt tightening aild reassessing our posi- tion to insure that things go on as near normal as possible. This is possible. Port St. Joe still has d good economic basis. We must just stop ... assess our balance oi pay- ments ... try to stem our gold outflow. ... and consider the future of our own community over and above the econ- omy of our neighboring communities. In other words "if you'll try to buy in Port St. Joe first", we will maintain a vibrant economy. %M %t % % -'- .Y Too Late To Classify By RUSSELL KAY While so-called "civilized" man writing his memoirs at B is plagued with a variety of deadly Springs in Florida. diseases that have baffled medical' His travels into the hinter: science- for centuries, cancer, of South America brought hi heart disease, hookworm, malaria, these amazing areas of immu tooth decay and mental illness,- These areas were found in the tribes we would term savages, liv- gles of Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador Ing in filth and poverty in primi- Peru.

Port St. Joe enters a new era this spring and summer. The new position isn't entirely foreign to ourpeople, but thd range of "tourist center" is a-fixing to broaden to proportions not yet experienced by us. And the test will be whether we can cope with our new-found "industry" or not. r The weather is a-warming and we see advertisements for tents, campers, trailers, camping gear on the Dothan and Tallahassee TV stations. This means that our state :park here in Port St. Joe is' in for its first full season of operation. We are now open for the best camping part 'Of the year, and the park people say it will go beyond any expectations we may have. While we realize that ,Port St. Joe has a fine new state park nearby, we don't realize just how many people will be using it. We must realize, too, that the park has competition. If park visitors come to our town and see an unwelcome attitude a sour attitude we will not grow very fast as a state park center. If we are .cordial, ebullient, and interested, we will draw the same people back again and again. As we say, this is a new experience for us. Let us all rise to the occasion. FIREBUG IN THE BASEMENT Representative Thomas B. Curtis of Missouri put the tax and public debt problem in a nutshell when he said that it is "clearly a requirement of national policy to- day", to establish priorities among desirable expenditures, "even needed'expenditures, so as not to over-burden the tax and debt structures and weaken the economic base." To meet the cost of not planning public spending, the people are threatened with more taxes. Higher taxes would mean that all of us would.have less money to spend. Using this mthod to slpw inflation while government goes on' spending like an irresponsible drunk makes no more sense than pouring water oh the roof of a house on fire while pouring oil into the basement. As Representative Curtis points out, it is clearly a requirement today to es- tablish priorities on tax expenditures and bring spending' into line with income, instead of taxing the people and business to the point ,of diminishing returns. This is a cold-blooded, nonpartisan issue that must be faced.' Why? In ,other. areas natives had never experienced any form of heart trouble, cancer or malaria.

Little effort has been made so far to study these immune areas //LET US Etaoin Shrdlu By WESLEY R. RAMSEY ) Sales, Use Tax Take 17% Over Last Year Fred 0. (Bud) Dickinson, Jr., Comptroller of Florida, this week said sales and use tax collections last month totaled $30,175,175, a $4,407,810 increase over collections reported in February of last year. "Although it is a little early to report anything concrete, this 17 percent increase in February col- lections is an indication that the recent school crisis did not harm Florida's booming economy," Dick- inson said. "There is no doubt that there will be some long-range implica- tions brought on by the crisis, be- cause of the national publicity, but it is clear that the teacher walkout was not successful in stopping our economy. It is still growing and v;ill remain sound and prosperous,", he added. Fiscal year (July-February) col- lections currently amount to $213,- 559,683, representing an increase of $18,707,200, or 9.6 percent above the total collected during a like period of the 1966-67 fiscal year. Calendar year collections of the sales and use tax now amount to $62,386,125, for an increase of $5,- 467,046, or 9.6 percent over the same period last year, Comptroller Dickinson said reve- nue from the state's -gasoline tax is also experiencing, h e a 1 t hy growth. ! Gasoline tax collections for Feb- ruary totaled $15,890,168, exceed- ing collections made during the same month last year by $1,568,- 597, or 10.95 percent. Fiscal year collections of the gas- oline tax so far total $116,452,663, up $6,849,544 or 6.24 percent above amounts.collected during the same eight-month period in the 1966-67 fiscal year. Although the law for the 5 per- cent wholesale sporting goods tax ran out in January, Dickinson said $58,974 was collected from persons paying on assessments made last year. Collections for February of last year were $108,055. CLASSIFIED ADb Midget Investments with Giant Returml Bankruptcy Auction Sale MARCH 26, 1968 11:00 A.M., E.S.T. PORT ST.

We appreciated his warning to President Johnson to "either change the, tactics in the Vietnam war, or I'll be forced to offer myself as a candidate". This no doubt made Johnson shudder in his boots. So what do we have in Bobby. First we have a man who swore to stay out of the race until 1972. We have a man who has only recently pledged to support President Johnson in his war policy and his attempts at re-election. We also have a man who talked Senator McCarthy into tossing his hat in the ring and then jump- ing in after him to try and hog the toy donkey. All in all, we are expected to fall head over heels to place a man in the highest office in the land, who apparently has no integ- rity. a man whose word cannot be trusted. If he's elected, we might all feel, eventually, like Senator Mc- Carthy who no doubt now wonders how that cat Bobby talked him into raking the chestnuts out of the fire while Bobby remained unscorched. History was made this past week. Dr. Philip Blaiberg, the world's first successful heart transplant, went home to resume his daily life. And, I wonder if we realize how much of' a "giant step" this is. One out of six in this pioneer operation lived to enjoy it. Some of us think these are pretty slim odds. But, are they? Think of the hundreds who died in the experiment for the prevention of yellow fever. Think of the number of persons who died in perfecting a smallpox serum. Medical science today is pretty sure of the ground on which they walk before they take the giant step. Mr. Blaiberg is living proof of this. After the double pricing of gold over the week ehd, we noted in the papers Monday where the gold speculators who had set out to erode our dollar were hit by losses on the gold market. We just can't work up a feeling regret for their situation. Startling figures were released last week concerning crime in our nation. For instance crime increased 23% in one year in the big cities. But the increase is not limited to the metropolitan areas. Towns the size of Port St. Joe reflected a 13% increase. Larger urban areas are showing a 17% increase in crime. If, for instance, Port St. Joe had 20 crimes last year (This is a fairly accurate figure) and two more crimes are reported this year, we have had 4 10% increase. One of the major increases in petty crimes in our city is the crime of shoplifting-especially -by kids. This crime has reached alarming proportions right here in Port St. Joe. No merchant has been immune, and the problem is growing like wildfire. One merchant reported to me that he had caught nearly 20 cases of shoplifting in his store during the first two months of this 'year. He shuddered to think of how many cases he had not caught. Statistics say that less than a fourth of the shoplifters are caught, So if we want to do something about the rising national crime rate, we can. If your child shows up with something you don't recognize as being his, investigate to see where it came from. It may be stolen.

In 1967 there were 1,318 deaths from the disease. There were only 433 deaths in 1957 when it ranked 13th. ' "The exact causes of emphysema are not well understood," Dr. James E. Fulghum, director of the State'Board of Health's Bureau of Adult Health and Chronic Diseases, saifd. "But there are a number of factors that are strongly suspected of contributing to the disease." These are reported exposure to lung irritants, dust, molds, noxious fumes, allergic materials, air pol- lution, heredity and cigarette smok- ing., Other respiratory diseases, such ,as bronchitis, asthma, silico- sis and chronic pulmonary diseases are also caused by many of these factors. "Many people who are heavy smokers develop emphysema," Dr. 7Fulghum added, "and smoking ag- gravates emphysema." The disease is about 13 times more prevalent among cigarette smokers than among nonsmokers. It "has been determined that most sufferers are men over 40 years of age who have a medical history of repeated "colds" and lbronchial troubles and who are heavy smok- ers. Dr. Fulphuru said the disease does not strike its victims suddenly. It creeps up on them. Initially, pa- tienits have severe and repeated respiratory infections followed by long periods of not "feeling, up to par."

Infection,, part of the emphysema-bronchitis problem, can be combated with an- tibiotics. Drugs that produce dila- tion of the air passages are often used. Various hand instruments, or nebulizers, are available. Exercises to empty the bronchial secretions is helpful. All medicines and treat- ment should be given under a phy- sician's supervision, Dr. Fulghum added. April 1 May Be Important Date for Citizens Who Are 65 and Over April 1, 1968, may be an import- ant date in the lives of people who are 65 and older who live in this area, according to Jerry Myers, Acting District Manager of the Pan- ama City Social Security Office, It is important for two reasons: First, it is the last day for those STOP!0 If you can't stop,.. be ready to start paying. So, stop first at the brake service shop that displays the NAPA' Sign of Good Service and De- pendable Parts. You can be sure and not sorry with Brake Parts that bear the NAPA Seal be-. cause these are professional quality of triple-guaranteed de- pendability available only through the service-repair shoq that show the NAPA Sign.

Those who are already signed up need not be concerned, but Myers point- ed out that there, are about one and one-half million people in the ,U. S. 'over .65 who have never en- rolled for doctor bill or medical insurance. The-Soial Security Ad- ministration would like to see that all those who missed out on their first chance, to elect medical insur- once get another opportunity to enroll. Myers 'explained that just about everyone now over 65 is eligible for the voluntary part of medicare whether or not they have, ever worked under Social Security and whether retired or still working. He urged persons 65 and over and not signed up for the voluntary doctor bill insurance to get in touch with their Social Security office. The second reason that April 1 is an important date is, because this is the. last day that people can claim payment for doctor services received in July, August and Sep- tember 1966. Most medicare payments for doc- tor bills in 1966 have long since been completed,! Myers said. But if anyone has delayed filing a med- icare claim for expenses in July, August or September 1966, he should not let the April 1 deadline go by without taking some action. He can now file a claim even if the doctor bill is not paid. All that is necessary is an itemized bill and a completed claim form. The So- cial Security office will be glad to assist in completing the form or in answering any questions on this matter. The Social Security office for this area is located at 1135 Harri- son Ave., Panama City 32401. The telephone number is 763-5331. The office is open Monday through Fri- day from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. except on national holidays.

Among those on the Dean's List is Gilda Lee Gilbert, of Port St. Joe. /O" sion of plans for the new year. From the report given by Mrs. Porter, the group learned that fa room is now available in the City Hall for the use of the Historical Society. This was welcome news, because the society has long need- ed a place to store its valuables- records, maps, charts, pictures, logical Monitor irts April First Knowledge of the amount of nuclear radiation is important to all citizens for their protection. Trained monitors will be able to render a' valuable service to the county by measuring and report- ing radiation levels. The use of Civil Defense instruments will be taught and the methods of hand- ling' are easily learned. Monitors will learn of nuclear weapons ef- fects, protective measures, effects of /fallout and decontamination. Filmstrips and movies will illus- trate 'the talks. Both men and wo- men are urged to attend. M. L. Britt, Assistant Radiologi- cal Officer for Gulf Couny, will teach the course. Those wanting to, register should call Mrs. Dorothy Craig at the office of the Superin- tendent of Public Instruction, 229-6124. etc. It was also reported that through the courtesy of Roy Gib- son, Jr., and S. C. Pridgeon a sign is being made for the entrance "ate at the old cemetery. This at- tractive sign is being made of black wrought iron using the word- ing, "St. Joseph Cemetery". The Society is grateful to these two men for the sign and to the City for the promised room in the Mu- nicipal Building, and for continued cooperation in the projects of this group. The following shrubbery has been ordered for replacements in the old cemetery: blaze rose climbers, formasas azaleas, camel- lias, juniper plants, regular and low spreading and border grass. Donations for the cemetery and the avenue leading from Garrison Ave- nue to the cemetery include Chero- kee rose vines and quite a num- ber of pines and palms. Following the meeting the group honored Mrs. Chris Martin, who recently retired from the Flor- ida Park Service, with a seafood dinner at the Grill Restaurant in Apalachicola. This was a most en- joyable occasion for the members, the honoree and the visitors.

Patented inventions cov- ering these pine chemicals to date total 96 U.. S. Patents, plus over- seas counterparts in many coun- tries totaling 89 patents.- That's a lot of "protection", considering that these patents cost on the av- erage of $750.00( a piece." Why do Glidden chemists pro-. tect pine chemistry inventions with patents? Because these invenrt- tions have taken much expense and many years to develop. In a modern research facility in Jack-. sonville, Glidden Organic Chemists spend a half-million dollars per year discovering new secrets that have been locked inside the pine tree for thousands of years. Some of the results of these patented dis- coveries are: Aromatic oils made from pine turpentine, which are sold to perfumery producing firms world-wide; the market's lightest color Tall Oil Rosin which is also practically i odorless; Synthesized flavor oils of spearmint, pepper- mint, lemon, lime, grapefruit and nutmeg, blended frouii components produced out of pine-terpene and citrus-limonene oils. Those 96 U. S. Patents held b3 Glidden-Durkee chemists represent much knowledge that has been lab oriously gained in the past 3( years. Whatever happens to be "Patent Number 100" at Glidden Durkee's Florida research center will be heralded by the corpora tion-and "Milestone Patent Num ber 100' is expected by those chem ists to arrive this year. The colon ialist who viewed Florida's pines only as a source of lumber ani naval stores pitch would truly be amazed at thW fancy new chemical now gleaned from the same tree Glidden-Durkee administrators dug deep to discover those new cherm icals, and are protecting their dis coveries with .an enviable paten record.

Race Track Revenues Increase for March TAILAHASSEE-Comptroller of Florida Fred O. (Bud) Dickinson, Jr., this week reported that reve- nue from Florida's racing ., tax poured a record-setting $4.4 million into the state's 67 counties during March. "The previous record racing tax distribution to the counties was in April, 1965, when $3.9 million was divided, up," Dickinson said. SThe unusually large racing tax distribution, made possible by Feb- ruary gate receipts, netted each county $65,000, or an increase of $11,60'0 ,bove each county's share in March of last year. So far this racing -season, which started in November, 1967, the per-county. allocation has climbed to $199,000, as compared to $182,- 000 in the same period of 1966-S7.- a $17,000 increase for each county.

Ir has performed a vital and valuable act of public service. In few fields are the opportunities, the challens ges and the final rewards greater' than those encountered in your work as a Cancer Crusade volun- teer." Mr. Rish concluded by urgin* anyone willing to serve as a volun- teer to call Mrs. Naomi C. Brock, 1904 Monument Avenue, telephone 229-2142 right away. William J. Rish, Crusade Chair- man for the American Cancer So- ciety, Gulf County Unit, announces that Mrs. Naomi C. Brock has vol- unteered to serve as the house-to- house chairman for the 1968 Can- cer Crusade. Mrs. Brock is the wife of C. W. Brock, City Auditor for Port St. Joe and lives at 1904 Monument Avenue. A special appeal for additional volunteers to assist in the Ameri- can Cancer Society's 1968 Crusade was made yesterday by Mr. Rish, Crusade Chairman of the pGulf County Unit of the American Can- cer Society. The Society's educational and fund-raising Crusade begins March 28. ' Thanking those who have already signed up to fight cancer this year, Mr. Rish stated that additional vol- unteers were still urgently needed. This year, for the first time, lo- cal Unit Cancer Crusade volun- teers will have the opportunity to enjoy a new and highly original training kit, 'Mr. Rish said. It has been designed to permit all volun- teers to learn the basic facts about cancer. This educational kit is similar to a "monopoly" game. Any number of volunteers can participate, per- mitting an easy exchange of ideas pertaining to cancer with a view to imparting invaluable informa- Pine Trees Gaining More Importance Lumber is Florida's oldest indus- try. And forests within the state are said to be the only "renew- able" resource. As conservation becomes a more important topic nowadays with in- creasing dangers in air and water pollution, the forester finds he has more than a casual interest. Healthy forests are a key-not merely to lumber, pulp and paper production-but to conservation and anti-pollution. Three out of every five acres in the state are classed as forest land. And while nine other states in the nation surpass Florida in total forest area, Florida ranks sixth in the nation in-total com- mercial forest area-land capable of producing continuous crops of timber for commercial purposes. The forest and wood products in- dustry in Florida today ranks sec- ond only to tourism in annual dol- lar value. Actually forest industry within' the Sunshine State is now the largest single industry convert- ing a -natural resource. While tree farmers in Florida note a near 200 per cent increase during the past 20 years, it is es- timated the demand for forest raw materials will again double within the next two decades. With some four million cords of timber now removed from Florida forests annually, reforestation-- planting of more seedling trees- must not be relaxed. The 100 mil- lion new trees planted yearly in Florida are but a step toward three future needs, conservation, econ- omy and industry.

He pledges that if he is re-elected he will continue to work for all the citizens in an effort to make this a better county in which to work and live. Whitfield was the first person to pay his qualifying fee for a coun- ty office. In passing the candidate said, "I was the first one to quali- fy, and I hope that the people will help me be first when 'the votes in dollar return from their trees are counted." a PEOPLE PROTECTORS Did. you ever think of ads as guardians of your individuality?
