SIMS Lamar Davis Says He Will Be In Race Lamar Davis of Wewahitchka this week announced that he will seek election to the Gulf County Commission from District 2 in the 1970 election. This post is held by James G. McDaniel who has said he will not seek re-election. Davis is an employee of St. Joe Paper Companyand also operates a dry cleaning establishment in Wewahitchka.

The bridge which is a steel barge floating bridge, will be dry-docked for painting during this period of time. Say "Nix' to Central Standard Time Residents of the Port St. Joe area emphatically turned thumbs down on a proposal to change to Central Standard Ti m e last Thursday night. The opposition was .voiced at a regular meeting of the Cham- ber of Commerce when letters;. petitions and personal objections were presented opposing the time change. - Letters from civic groups, la- bor organizations and petitions signed by 281 people were pre- sented against the measure. One vote was cast in favor of the Jaycees Preparing For Shopping Spree The Port St. Joe Jaycees are now in the process of preparing for their annual "Christmas Shopping Spree" for the under- priviledged children. The Jay-, cees no longer collect toys for repair but instead they. give each child approximately $10.00 each and take them on a shopping tour and let the kids purchase what- ever they want. The kids are also given a party. Anyone wanting to sponsor a child or children may do so by contacting any Jaycee or mailing contributions to the Jaycees, P. 0. Box 158, City. To sponsor a child costs $10.00. change. The question of changing the Port St. Joe area to Central Stan- dard Time was brought up at a November meeting of the Cham- ber's board of directors. The board has publicized the request during the past month and asked for the teelig of the public. The public said "no'" em- phatically last Thursday. Chamber President R. H. Ell- zey said that he didn't really feel the time change would pass but it was brought up at a for- mer meeting of the chamber and since North Gulf County is in the central zone he felt it would merit examination. The chamber has abandoned any further attempt to seek a new time zone status .for this area. Sharks Win Opener The Port St. Joe Sharks started their 1969-70 basketball schedule out with a bang Tuesday night, hanging up a 79-49 victory over the Wewahitchka Gators in the local gym. The Sharks are a week late getting started with play-offs in the football program taking up the time of some of the cage players. James McGee paced the Sharks scoring, attack with 22 points. Norris Langston and George Williams each added 12 points and Ronald Gaffney added 10. Joe Jackson led the Gators with 19 points.. The Sharks jumped off to a three point lead in the first per- iod and kept adding to it. After the half-time rest, the Sharks burned the nets for 29 points.

Second Look Taken Before Placing Radio Base Station After previously coming to an agreement to put the base station for a new radio installation here in Port St. Joe, the County Com- mission has now had second thoughts; about the matter and have decided to take another look at the situation. In a meeting about a month ago the Board 'purchased a base station and. mobile units to go in vehicles .operated by the Coun- ty's Road and Mosquito Control Departments. The thinking then was to locate the base station in the Courthouse and let the system double for ,use by Civil Defense in an emergency. Now, thoughts have come up that CD and the Sheriff's.Depart- ment already operate radio sys- tems in this end of the county and should a blow be bad enough to blow down the base station tower, all communications would be gone. Location of the new base station in Wewahitchka would give an auxiliary base sta- tion for these operations. Too, the operator at the Road Department office in Wewahitch- ka would be more familiar with road operations, location of equipment and location of var- ious roads throughout the coun- ty and would be more valuable operating the station than would an operator at this end less fa- miliar with county roads. The matter has been tabled, un- decided, until more thought can be given to it. Proposed Paving County Commissioner Walter Three Chosen for Chamber Board Three new members of the Board of Directors were select- ed by the Port St. Joe Chamber of Commerce last Thursday night 'to serve for three year terms. Elected were Wes Thompson, Charles W. Brock and Wesley R. Ramsey. The three were picked from six nominees presented to the Chamber by a nominating committee. The three directors will be installed at the annual meeting of the Chamber in February of next year to replace retiring di- rectors S. R. Stone, W. C. Roche, and B. G. Buzzett. Other members of the Board are R. H. Ellzey John Robert Smith, Robert B. Fox, Robert Freeman, Jimmy Prevatt and Frank McDonald. The chairman of the Retail Merchants Division is also a member of the Board. Tom Culpepper is serving in this capacity during the current year. Graham reported to the Board that the City of Port-St. Joe has expressed a willingness to fur- nish all material, some equip; ment anrid some labor in a joint venture to pave the extension of Avenue A to Highway 71. The City and County joined to- gether earlier this year in a unit- ed effort to open the road bed and stabilize the surface. No further action was taken bn this matter. Other Business In other business, the County: Temporarily abandoned the possibility of securing an aerial photo map of Gulf County as be- ing too costly at this time. Cancelled the regular Decem- ber 23 meeting because of the holidays. Told the School Board that they should begin pqving work at the two new school sites with- in a few days barring any heavy rains. Heard an agreement by land 'Sharks Stump Toe In State Play-off Opening Game After playing tough defense on both sides Friday night, the Sharks went into the half-time rest period, behind 8-0 in the first rounds of the play-offs for the State Class B football cham- pionship. The Baker Gators came back on the field in the second half, loaded up a shotgun style offense with a hard-running 190 pound bullet, named Donald Ray Rob- inson and shot holes in the Shark defense which has been so su- perb all season long. Baker scored first in the sec- ond period after recovering their own punt on the Sharks two yard line. The Gators big quarterback, 210 pound Clint Griffin, carried the ball over for the score and Robinson ran the two points. As the half was ending, Budy Boyette electrified the Port St. Joe fans by pulling in a long pass from Chuck Roberts and wormed his way through Gators for a 56 yard gain which put the Sharks in scoring position. An intercepted pass killed the oppor- tunity. Roberts had five passes intercepted during the game. He had had only six interceptions all season long. As the half was ending, the Sharks recovered a Gator fum- ble on the Gator's 45 and again (Continued On Page 10) owners in Dalkeith expressing their willingness to provide ne- cessary right of way for proper drainage.

The Star Will Print Letters To Santa Claus The Star will again print letters to Santa Claus this year in it's Christmas edition. In the past, many young children have sent in letters to Santa Claus and had them printqd,in the paper. The Star expects a large number of letters again this year, so children are urged to write early, so the letters can be set up in type early with- out having to wait for the. hectic week that usually re- suits from Christmas week. Get the letters in early and they will all be printed, then. forwarded on to Santa Claus. The Star's Christmas edition this year will, be put in the mail on Tuesday morning, De- 1 cember 23.

They Tried The Sharks failed to bring home all the apples this year, but the accomplishments they did manage have made everybody in Port St. Joe and Gulf County proud of them. When you place those 10 big wins this past sea- son alongside the 10 big losses of two years ago, progress and determination is very evident. The Sharks have .learned to cooperate, play together and function as a team. They have also made the name of Port St. Joe known throughout the State of Florida as they earned the reputation of being the fourth ranked football team in the entire State in the Class B classifica- tion during their regular season, Naturally everybody -- including every man on the team is disappointed that the Sharks are not now in contention for the State Championship, but. their accom- plishments are so. great compared to just two years ago, that one can confidently say, "wait til next year". While it was a long ride home from Baker last Fri- day night, and the hour of getting to bed was in the wee hours of the morning, it was worth it all to witness the fact that the Sharks never gave up even though the odds were insurmountable. This a valuable lesson and trait among those young men. It was painfully evident in the last quarter of Friday night's game that the Sharks could not pull this one out of the fire. They were on their way to defeat for the first time this year. But not a one gave up. They still hit just as hard as thei comparatively diminutive size would allow; they still tried just as hard to score; they still played like the game had just begun and their chance was still there to win. Though they will not now be number one in the State, their effort, their dedication and their pursuit of full success all this season has made them definitely number one in this neck of the woods and even that takes in a lot of territory. Too many people do a lot of work in our city and never get any praise or recognition for it. One such person is Higdon Swatts. Higdon is the quiet sort. He never says much. You hardly even know he is around. But for the last four ' years, Higdon has almost single-handedly guided the Port St. Joe Christmas parade into a huge success. Higdon has had some. good ideas. He hasn't failed to go after the big events. Most of them don't come, but he still tries and each year manages to capture a major attraction to the parade, which helps to make it a fine attraction and something to be anticipated. It's a man-size job to line up the Christmas parade each year. The correspondence, telephone calls, personal At least one question has been definitely settled for Port St. Joe. The citizens of this area wish to remain on Eastern Standard Time. tWhile the stated desires to remain on EST were nu- merous, the written statements were also indicative of the desires of the people, especially in view of the fact no sides were drawn, no organized efforts put forth on either side of the question. Over 280 people signed statements to the Tact that they desired to remain on EST. One signed a statement that he wished to change to Central Standard Time. It was' surprising to see so much interest in so short a time over a matter that one would suspect would be sort of immaterial. S Somebody said that since we have now settled this question of how the people feel, maybe we should try and find out if the entire county wishes to change to Eastern Standard Time, so that we would be uniform. While this was only idle conversation, we feel that should the question be formally posed, the same empha- tic sentiment would be expressed to "leave it like it is". I Too Late To Classify by RUSSELL KAY I have just been reading State Comptroller Fred 0. (Bud) Dick- inson's report on state income and was amazed to note the amount spent on education com- pared with all other expenditures of state government. It appears that we are spending 75 per cent of our income on ed- ucation, while we only spend 4% per cent on welfare, 7 per cent on health, 4% per cent on gener- al government and 8% per cent on all other state activities. Still our educators are screaming for more money for more school con- struction, higher teachers salaries and other mounting educational costs.

It takes at least a full month to line up the events for the parade and schedule things so that they come off without a hitch. As Higdon can testify, those floats and events don't just get in line on the morning of the parade and march up Reid Avenue. Higdon is going to be one of the first to call us this week and tell us that he didn't do it by himself. He had a corps of willing workers in the Jaycees. All of them work at producing the parade, and work hard. But, Hig- don is the ramrod even though he doesn't appear to be the ramrod type. We wish to commend Higdon Swatts and his fellow Jaycees for this annual event which has come to mean so much to Port St. Joe and the surrounding area. tance of education, it seems to me in the face of the above fi- gures we have gone stark staring mad on the subject. The question is, are we getting our money's worth for the tre- mendous sums we are spending on education? Is the investment really worth while when we make it at the expense of numerous other needs that are crying for our attention? Over the years educators and the intelligentsia have sold us on the idea that an education is jusf about the only concern we have today. They have sold us the idea that unless a. youngster goes to college he will turn out a total loss with no hope for the future. History of this country dis- putes this reasoning. Our par- ents and grandparents did not enjoy such educational advanta- ges as we are told are necessary today. Still the country has progres- sed and accomplished more than any other country on earth led and guided by men and women who at today's values should have been ignorant bums. Many of them did not even finish high school. Few enjoyed the advanta- ges of a college education, but they were long on ingenuity and common sense. They learned early in life to take care of them- selves, meet their problem head on, exercise sensible judgment and solve them- with their God given intelligence. They were disciplined by their parents, taught-to work, respect authority and assume responsi- bility. They learned trades, found ways to do things better and.used their brains to advance and im- prove their situation, unconcern- ed over their so called rights. If everybody in this country was college educated and went out to face the world seeking a top slot, demanding that the world recognize their educational advantages, refusing to consider anything but a high salaried job with an executive title, as they shake a college degree in the face of their employer, where would we wind up? With our college students lead- ing protest marches, our pro- fessors urging them on and the government voting more and more money for education, isn't it time we stopped to count o0r change and see what we are real- ly getting for our educational dol- lar? UT Don't Hunt Dogs After Dark With Gun In Possession PANAMA CITY Major T. L. Garrison, region manager, Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission, has warned hunters to leave all guns at home when they go on wild- life management areas at night to look for lost dogs or they could face arrest on multiple charges. Possession of any gun on a man- agement area after designated hunt* ing hours is prohibited, he said, whether in hand or in a vehicle. Possession of a gun while dis- playing or using a light either on private lands or wildlife manage- ment areas is also prohibited, and is an additional violation. Garrison explained that hunters frequently lose dogs during the day's hunting and return at night to recover them without first re- moving their guns from hunting ve- hicles. He also said that some hunt- ers are illegally entering imanage- ment areas in early morning hours far in advance of shooting hours, one half hour before sunrise. He emphasized that the law pro- hibits these actions and said that, "If hunters aren't familiar with the law, or do not observe it, they'er going to be in trouble". Girl Scouts Meet With Mrs. Parker Girl Scout Troop 48 met at Mrs. Inky Parker's house Tuesday, Nov. 25. Officers were elected for the Patrol. The officers are Nan Parker, Asst. Patrol Leader; Marcia Big- gins, Scribe; Joy Miles, Treasures; Camella Brown and Robin Bailey, Activities. The Girl Scouts have decided to march in the Christmas parade in Port St. Joe Dec. 6, Saturday at 10:00. The Girl Scouts have also de- ceided to work on various badges, outdoor cook, neddle craft, skater, gypsy, indian lore, cyclist, and sew- ing. MARCIA BIGGINS TROOP SCRIBE Efaoin Shrdlu by WESLEY R. RAMSEY REPENTANCE You never know what makes a person take something that does- n't belong to them nor what makes them repent afterwards. But Mrs. Braxton Ward is glad some at least do repent. Two weeks ago somebody took all of the stereo tapes out of her car while it was parked downtown. Wednesday night of last week, the person or persons who took the tapes brought them back and left them on her front porch, where she found them Thursday morning. Of course, Mrs. Ward appreciates getting her tapes back. What made them bring the tapes back? Maybe they didn't like the music. LUXURIES or NECESSITIES? Speaking of car tapes in automobiles; isn't it funny how things "catch on" and become necessities, rather than luxuries? It wasn't too long ago that one had to order his new car with a heater in it. Now you have to special order one without a heater. Not too many years back, a radio in an automobile was a fine extra. Along with white sidewall tires, a radio in a car was the "ulti- mate" a, far as the kids were concerned. Even later on, automatic. transmissions began to catch on among the lazy who didn't want to shift gears, now there are many drivers who have never driven a manual shift car. Of course, air conditioning has to be right up high on the list of things that were ultra luxuries just a few years ago, but now can be found in the greater majority of auto- mobiles. Now the stereo tape player is growing by leaps and bounds in popularity by automobile owners. And we wonder why the family bus costs so much! It's that thousand dollars worth of extras that are now necessities that is mostly to blame. * IT TAKES A MAN It would seem to us that when one becomes a man he should act like a man and not like a spoiled child. While we respect the abilities of Senate President John Mat- thews of Jacksonville, we can't speak highly of how he conducted himself last week. Senator Matthews insulted the Governorship of the' state of Florida and, in effect, ejected the chief executive from the Senate chamber all because Matthews didn't agree with the Governor's policies and because he was of another party. Maybe Mr. Matthews doesn't agree with Kirk. The same holds true for a lot of people. But nevertheless, Kirk is the Governor of the State of Florida, and while he holds that office is due the courtesy of the office. It doesn't seem to us that Mr. Matthew's childish behaviour will earn him very many "Brownie Points" in his quest for the Governor's seat. By the same token, if and when he gets there, he will expect the respect deserving of the position. As senator Beth Johnson so aptly put it, Senator Matthews was not only disrespectful of the office of Governor, he was rude. Senator Matthews is going to have to assume man-like decorum if he expects to capture the most man-size job in the State of Florida. * ~~.;~i.I.f**) ~ VV _- -----! ---- -- . -, -MlAVERICK ...

New addition part of company's 460-million-dollar, 5-year construction program. A giant step in strengthening your electrical reliability has been realized as Florida Power's big new 510,000-kwh turbine generator is now in operation at the company's Crystal River Plant. New appliances, including a vastly increased usage of air conditioning, have resulted in almost everyone's using more and more electricity every year. In fact, the aver- age kwh usage per customer increased over 14% in 1968 over 1967, and about-the same increase will occur in 1969. Such skyrocketing demand for electricity is why Florida Power has added the new unit at Crystal, River and will spend over 460 million dollars in the next five years to make sure you, have the power you want when you flip the. switch. When the Crystal River Plant is completed in 1972, it will have a generating capability equivalent to the entire 8-plant system-in 1968. This is progress. This is increased capacity to serve and enhance Florida's great growth potential. helping build better communities.

A Green Bar meeting will soon be held to determine this month's activities. Sharks Stump Toe (Continued From- Paqe 1) began a scoring drive. George Williams caught a Roberts pass which took the Sharks to the Ga- tor eight. Four successive passes failed to connect. With the Gators scoring on a Shark mistake and the Sharks making two threats to score, not too much apprehension was felt until the Gators' shotgun went into action after the half time. , The Gators pushed over 16 points in the third period and six in the last stanza, all on the hard running of Robinson. -" Although the Gators out-gained the Sharks by only 44 yards, the yardage came for the Gators in bunches which gave them scores. The Sharks had drive after drive broken by pass interceptions and two fumbles lost. Friday's game was the third loss for the Sharks in 21 games played over the past two seasons. The Sharks were tough on de- fense in the first half, with Ad- rian Gant, Larry McFarland and sophomore Steve Bass sticking out as Baker could muster only 28 yards rushing. But the lar- ger Gators were able to prevail in the'second half.
