34 Will Die On Florida


Highways In Weekend


TALLAHASSEE---"Be a friend
first and then a good host," re-
minded the Florida Highway Pa-
trol this week as they predicted
that 34 persons will diei in traf-
fic accidents during the New
Year holiday period.
Patrol Director Reid Clifton
said, "As usual, alcohol will prob-
ably contribute to many of the
34 traffic deaths we are predict-
ing. If you plan a party, be a
friend first and then a good host.
Donrt let guests leave your home
to drive to their death because



Firemen NHeed

Wewa Alarm

Port St. Joe's volunteer fire
department was called to Wewa-
hitchka Monday night about 8:30
when fire was, discovered in the
Smith's Sundries building there.
The fire was discovered coming
through the roof of the building
and Port St. Joe was called due
to adjoining buildings being,
threatened. The fire was not as
bad as it was first thought, being
confined to the area where a
flue from a cooking unit goes
through the roof.
Wewahitchka's department had
the blaze out when Port St. Joe's
truck arrived.
Saturday night, two fires were
reported in the City in the vicin-
'ity of 15th to 16th Streets in the
alley between Constitution and
Monument. Two piles of pine
straw were burning-one at the
16th Street end of the alley and
one pear the 15th Street end.
No property damage was re-
ported.

Baptists Name

Area Missionary

The Southern Baptist churches
of this area have called the Rev-
erend James K. Solomon to serve
as their Associational Missionary.
His appointment will be effective
January 1, 1970. The new mis-
sionary will be available to assist
the Baptist churches of Washing-
ton, Bay, Gulf and Franklin coun-
ties when he is invited. His of-

you felt you had to be a good
host."
Clifton urged ,hosts to have
non-alcoholic beverages on hand
for drivers or help make ar-
rangements for transportation for
those who might have too much
to drink.
The New Year's holiday period
begins at 6:00 P.M., Wednesday,
December 31, and ends at mid-
night Sunday, January 3. If the
Patrol's prediction is correct, one
person will die every three hours
during the long 102-hour holiday
period.
To help curb the expected
.highway deaths Clifton said that
all available troopers and auxil-
iarymen will be assigned to traf-
fic duty and will be working
with aircraft, radar, VASCAR and
unmarked Patrol cars during the
entire holiday period.

Mrs. J. F. Mamoran of White
City talks to her son, James Ed-
ward, stationed in Vietnam, dur-
ing the Christmas holidays.
The call was arranged and paid'
for by the local Communications

Delegation Going
After Park Money

A Gulf County delegation will
attending a meeting in Tallahas-
see Monday of next week in an
attempt to get money released
to begin construction of the Sun-
land Training Center recreational
park on St. Joseph's Peninsula.
Money was appropriated in the
last session of the legislature to
start work on the facility, which
will serve all Sunland schools in
the State of Florida, but during
revamping of State government
the project has somehow become
sidetracked. The project is now
administered by the Department
of Health and Rehabilitative Ser-
vices, and must again win appro-
val of that department.
The old State Board of Health
and Park Board had previously
agreed on the project.
The meeting will be held at
2:30 p.m. with Representative Joe
Chapman, Hughey Williams, J. T.
McNeill and Charley Davis sche-
duled to appear in favor of go-
ing ahead with the project.

Postmaster Chauncey Costin in-
formed The Star this week that
the local post office will be clos-
ed for business all day Thursday,
January 1, New Year's Day.
There will be no delivery of

A snapper fishing boat owned
and operated by Blake Thomason.
and Gene Abrams' Dixie Seafood
Company, found a yacht Satur-
day.
The snapper boat, Aspaisa,
with Billy Watts as captain was
heading for the snapper fishing
grounds Saturday afternoon when
they spotted the half-sunk 40
foot Chris-Craft yacht flounder-
ing about 20 miles Southwest of
St. Joe sea buoy. The boat was
-up to its deck in the water, with
a hull full of sea water, but it
hadn't completely sunk.
Watts threw a line on the boat
and towed it back to the Dixie


,Seafood Company dock on the
Gulf County Canal.
Blake Thomason, one of the
operators of Dixie Seafood said
from what he can learn through
the U. S. Coast Guard, the boat
was being towed by a shrimp
boat to South Florida when rough
seas started it to sinking and the
tow line broke. The tow boat evi-
dently thought the boat was sink-
ing and left it.
Registration of the boat has
still not been ascertained, but a
radio registration on the boat is
issued to a George Brewer of St.
Louis, Mo. Officials are still at-
tempting to locate the owner.

had made every attempt to hire
the suggested six white teachers
for Washington High, but that
they were able to hire only five.
The Board has pointed out that
all transportation facilities have
been integrated as much as pos-
sible


The Board asked in its October
letter that the situation be left
as it is in Port St. Joe until.the
beginning of the 1970 school
year when proper facilities will
be available to adequately care
for the proper education of the
students.


The Gulf County School Board
received a dubious Christmas
present over the holidays in the
form of a letter from the De-
partment of Health, Education
and Welfare, calling them on the
carpet for riot meeting alleged
time-tables for removing any
sign of "racial identifiability" of
schools in Gulf County.
The letter gave the Board un-
til Wednesday, December 31 to
file their plan. The Board met
in a special session Tuesday af-
ternoon to reply to the letter,
but The Star went to press about
the time the meeting was to
start, and the results cannot be
reported here.
The Board has stated to HEW
in the past that they understand
the Civil Rights Law and intend
to adhere to it.
Wewahitchka's schools have
been completely integrated and
the same is scheduled for Port
St. Joe as soon as new facilities
are completed.
POINTS CITED
The letter cited the Board for
failing to:
9 Place six white teachers
at Washington High School. The
Board has five white teachers in
this school and has been unable
to hire a sixth, according to Sup-
erintendent Marion Craig.
0 File plans for the ,elimina-
tion of racial identifiability of
Washington High School.
0 No definite plans filed for
the actual organization of the
Gulf County school system for
September 1970.
The biggest complaint in the
letter, written by Dewey E.
Dodds, Chief, Education Branch,
Office for Civil Rights, seemed
to be the lack of a formal plan
plan filed by the School Board.
PLANS DISCUSSED
The letter noted several in-
stances where representatives
from HEW had visited the local
schools and discussed plans for
total integration of Gulf schools
and were fully aware of the Gulf
program, but they did not have
it in writing.
The letter complained that the
integration of Washington and
Port St. Joe High Schools, which
had been tentatively set for De-
cember, 1969, had been postpon-
ed to September 1970. This was
due to the building not being
completed.
NO DEADLINE SET
The letter did not apply the
February 1 deadline for complete
integration as has been applied-
to other school districts in the
area, but it said, in closing, "In
the event we do not receive the
requested reply, we shall have no
alternative but to recommend
that enforcement proceedings as
provided by law be initiated."
BOARD WRITES HEW
The Board wrote HEW in Oc-
tober that several steps toward
complete integration had been
taken by the School district. It
pointed out that already a con-
siderable number of Negro stu-
dents and teachers were in both
Port St. Joe High School and Port
St. Joe Elementary School. It was
also emphasized that the Board


Port St. Joe's Sharks entered
a Christmas tournament held in
Blountstown last week end, and
lost again to Rutherford in the
opening game of the Tournament
57-49. The Sharks went on to
d e f e at Blountstown Saturday
night to take the consolation vic-
tory, 70-64.
Rutherford built a 35-20 half-
time lead over the Sharks, but
then had to fight for their life
as the Sharks came roaring back
in the second half in their bid to
pull the game out of the fire.
The Sharks scored 18 points in
the third period while holding
the Rams to only nine points.
Norris Langston paced the
Sharks with 20 points and James
McGee added 14.
Mariel Rogers led the Rams
with 24 points.

Series of Petty
Thefts Are Reported

Port St. Joe Police reported a
series of petty thefts from break-
ing and entering during the
Christmas holidays.
Chief H. W. Griffin reported
that the Lewis Garage was brok-
en into the night of December 23
and some tools taken.
Also, on the night of the 23rd
the old Duren Super Market
building on Main Street was en-
tered and soft drinks taken.
Wednesday night, December
24, Duren's Economy Store on
Highway 98 was forced open and
several cans of motor oil stolen.
Police say they have some
leads on the three crimes but no
arrests have been made as yet,


Harvests Grapefruit

B. L. Presnell shows off the fruit crop on his three-year-old
grapefruit tree. Presnell has the tree planted in his back yard at

South Florida grove tree. Presnell has other bearing citrus trees
in his yard, also. -Star photo

March of Dimes Month


January is March of Dimes month. The older genera-
tion remembers when the March of Dimes "reached for
the moon" by setting the elimination-of polio as its goal.
Now that polio is rarer than typhoid, the March of Dimes
has set its sights on preventing birth defects.
In/medieval times, superstition had it that birth de-
fects were a form of punishment. Today, we live in an
enlightened age. Scientists are showing us, again and
again, the reasons why birth defects happen and how
some birth defects can be prevented. In medieval times,
children' born with crippling birth defects were shunned
and feared. Now, everyday, doctors are making strides
in treating children born with mental or physical handi-
caps, and helping them to live full and useful lives.
However, modern preventive or corrective measures
will never be fully effective unless the public is made more
aware that birth defects is a national health problem
which affects us all. The public must be made aware in
order for them to do something about the tragedy of
birth defects.;
One infant born with a birth defect is tragedy enough,
but there are over 250,000 children born with physical or
mental defects every year. Birth defects are not a tra-
gedy that happen to someone else .. to some other
community. It is a nationwide tragedy which has and is
happening here in Port St. Joe. Unless we citizens of
Port St. Joe do something about birth defects, the, prob-
lem will expand and affect more and more of us.
The March of Dimes is in the fight to prevent birth.
defects. This newspaper believes that fight is a worth-
while one and we urge you, the citizens, to help them
. give to the March of Dimes. Prevent birth defects.

Letters...
Dear Band and Mr. Clark,
Out of all my five years in the
High School Band, this has been
the most enjoyable year of them
all. I know I haven't been the best
of drum majors, but I have tried
my best to be a good one, and I
have tried to fulfill my duties as
your drum major.
This past Saturday (December 6)
was my last performance with you
as leading you in parades and half-
times. I ask you to look over my
mistakes I have made during this
year. I have enjoyed and found it
a great honor to be the drum ma-
jor of the Port St. Joe High School
Band, but only wish it hadn't pas-
sed by so quickly. Sure, I have the
rest of the year in concert band,
but even that couldn't take the
place of being out in front of you
and leading you as you play your
music and march. I will miss it in
the future.
This year, in marching contest,
we made a Superior. I was more
than happy to know that I was the
drum major who led you down
the field to and then past the judg-
es as they rated you with your
Superior. It let me know that all
the year of practice, and those
weeks before school, paid off and
we were now on our way to State.
I hope that I haven't failed in any
of my duties.
This note is written only for the
reason to say, "thank you" Band
and Mr. Clark, for letting me be
your drum major forthe 1969-70
school term. I will well remember
this last performance in leading
our band down the streets of Port
St. Joe for our annual Christmas
parade.

Christmas has come and gone, and by now, most of the left-
overs should be gone and things nearly back to /normal.
After all of that chicken, turkey, ham, dressing, cakes, pies,
fruitcake, candy, ambrosia, nuts, and general junk with which we
stuff ourselves at Christmastime gone, wouldn't a tall glass of milk
with a-chunk of cornbread crumbled up in it taste good right now?
Or maybe a pot of beans?
*
With the passing of Thursday, it will be back to the old
schedule with a long stretch ahead until the July 4 holiday the
next holiday when the work-a-day schedule comes to a halt for
a rest.

With the coming of a new year, we can't help but wonder what
it will bring especially in these uncertain times.
We understand that the paper mill officials have stated that
the mill will operate at least 350 days next year, which is good news
for people in this area. That leaves only 15 days for repair shut-
downs and holidays. This means that good business is) expected.
When the mill has good business, we can look for reasonably good
times in this area. I
Financial experts predict much the same kind of business for' ,
the entire nation next year a swing upward after a slight
downward trend this last quarter of the year.
*
Things point to a softening of the cold war next year, and,
maybe with a softening in this area, the war in Vietnam will begin
to cool down.
According to Congressman Bob Sikes news letter just before
Congress adjourned for Christmas, the United States and Red China
have just had .another informal talk in Warsaw, Poland. We have
also noticed in the past few days a trend to soften trade embargoes
with Red China and soften our line toward other nations trading
with the giant of the Orient.
Were the talks the instigator of the softer line? Will the soft-
er line result in China helping to bring an end to the Vietnam war?


Events of the past few days would point to the fact
that the South lost a great deal when Judge Clement
IHaynesworth was refused nomination to the Supreme
Court of the United States. Since that time, the Supreme
Court has taken over the prerogative of the President and
the Congress and has gone into the law making ahnd edict
passing business. It's real evident to everyone that most
of these acts are perpetrated against the South.
Last week the Supreme Court capped it all off with
its order that certain school, districts in the South would
end segregation and completely integrate by February 1.
We accept the Supreme Court's proclamation that the
schools should be integrated. We believe the Constitution
has adequately set forth equal opportunity for everyone
-especially should this be applied to children getting an
education to see that they are properly equipped to bet-
ter themselves, and by doing so, better the nation. The
Supreme Court defined the Constitution of the United
States, which is their sole responsibility, as we under-
stand it.
Nowhere in the Constitution will one find that the
schools of the South shall be fully integrated on February
1, 1970. So, we say, the Supreme Court is out of bounds
in its proclamation.
It hardly seems to us that the Court is being com-

pletely fair about this matter. All of this energy is de-
voted to the South. Why should our Northern and West-
ern brothers suffer from the lack of equal benefits for
everyone? If we're going to be treated equal, let's make
it equal all over the nation.
While we believe integration in schools to be neces-
a period of 100 years will take at least a generation to
a period of 100 years will take at least a generation to
change. As here in Port St. Joe, the Negro people want
to maintain their schools. They have a legitimate reason.
But, just as consolidation would have been best for Gulf
County, so will consolidation in our City be better for the
student and his learning opportunity. This should be
placed above_everything else desires or whatever.
The United States Congress said in 1965, "no steps
could be required to correct 'racial imbalance' in schools
free from official discrimination".
What could be less discriminate than our "Freedom
of Choice" plan -, letting a student go to school where
he pleases. This also allows for a gradual, virtually pain-
less change-over of a century-old habit.
In conclusion, we believe the Supreme Court should
either stick to its purpose and let us continue our orderly
integration or give their same golden opportunity to all
of the nation.


comes off the assembly line. Ser-
ious students of the problem
warn us that unless some drastic
effort is made to stop this air
pollution our larger cities will
become death traps for millions
within the next 10 to 15 years.
While cigarette lung pollution
effects primarily those who use
them, the automobile and other
IC motor vehicles affect all life,
including vegetation and live-
stock.
We have been led to believe
that most air pollution was caus-
ed by exhausts from industrial
plants, but surveys have shown
that 80 percent come primarily
from automobiles and planes.
Consider the fact that motorists
of the City of Los Angeles con-
sume 800,000 gallons of gasoline
a day and you begin to under-
stand what is happening. Cities
suffering from this type of pol-
lution include Tokyo, London,
New York, Chicago and countless
others.
California lawmakers have be-
come so alarmed over the situa-
tion that they are requiring that
all automobiles used in that state
be equipped with devices design-
ed to reduce pollution. Those on
the market today cost the motor-
ist about $200 to convert.
In the meantime scientists, in-
vestors and engineers are fran-
tically working to develop a prac-
tical steam operated automobile
that will effectively eliminate
most air pollution. Several con-


cerns are promising practical
steam operated cars within the
next few years.
In Los Angeles, the city po-
lice department will use 200
steam propelled cars as soon as
the manufacturer can deliver
them.
Detroit has so far shown little
desire to consider anything but
the manufacture of conventional
IC cars. This is understandable,
for to convert to steam cars
would prove to be a tremendous
engineering problem.
It is difficult to conceive the
chaos that would- result from a
sudden change from IC to any
other type of propulsion. It would
be extremely difficult to convert
present day service stations and
would disrupt the automobile and
oil industries to say nothing of
the public.
Yet it appears we cannot go
on much longer unless we take
steps to solve the vexing prob-
lem. The question is, can De-
troit come up with some sort of
a conversion answer or must we
completely revamp our transpor-
tation industries?


IV


PI


All of these things are mysterious in their happening, but one
can see things going on, and things happening later that cause
speculation about trades, agreements, etc.
Maybe the talks are a good sign for moving closer to peace
0 in 1970. We hope so. The entire world is wasting too much man-
power and money on war that could be better spent. Notice, we
' say "the whole world", not just the United States. And when the
* whole world is engaged in such practices, the United States can-
not very well do otherwise.
*
With signs of encouragement, with much optimism building
in our heart, and the faith that things will get better, we wish
you all a very Happy New Year.

FDIC Insurance

Hiked to $20,000

President Nixon this week sign-
ed the Interest Rate Control Act
w-hich carried an amendment in-
creasing maximum Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation insurance
coverage from $15,000 to $20,000.
Effective December 23, this means
customer deposits in Florida banks
will now be insured against loss up
to a maximum amount of $20,000
by the FDIC.
This is the fourth increase in the
FDIC's maximum coverage of bank
deposits during the Corporation's
,36 years of operation. The most re-
cent increase was from $10,000 to
$15,000 in October, 1966.
Julian Fant, president, F i r s t
Guaranty Bank and Trust Company,
Jacksonville, commented on the in-
crease this week, "The increase rec-
ognizes the growing affluence ofi
the American public. If also means'
that individuals and corporations
can maintain larger insured bal-
ances in banks. With only one ex-
ception, all of Florida's 474 banks
have FDIC insurance coverage on


their customers' deposits."

Medicare Beneficiaries Get Increase


In Their Share of Hospital Costs


Because of the tremendous in-
crease in the cost of the average
hospital stay, social security Medi-
care beneficiaries will have an in-
crease in their share of hospital
costs, according to Jack E. Snipes,
Manager of the Panama City So-
cial Security Office. Beginning Jan-
uary 1, 1970, the social security
beneficiary will pay the first $52.00
of their hospital costs rather than
$44.00 as in the past.
The increase of $8.00 that a Med-
icare beneficiary will pay in his
hospital bill effective in January is
a result of the long term trend to-
ward increasing. hospital costs. It
is also the result of the general in-
flation that, has been taking place.


Gulf Sales Tax

Collections Down
TALLAHASSEF-The steady in-
carcas inF Tlorida's sale in Cuse


tax collections continued for the
month of November, reaching a
new peak of more than $50.2 mil-
lion, Comptroller Fred 0. (Bud)
Dickinson, Jr., reported this week.
The increase in the collections
amounted to more than $7.5 mil-
lion, or 17.7 per cent over the col-
lections for November of 1968,
Dickinson said.
The increase in the November
collections brought the fiscal year
totals (July-November) to $251,286,-
129, showing an increase of nearly
$36 million, or 16.6 per cent, over
the 1968 fiscal year collections.
Gulf County sales and use tax
collections have been showing stea-
dy increases over the past few
months, but took a backward slide
during November. Last year, Gulf
County reported $42,723.93 in tax
collections. During November of
1969, $37,598.75 was collected, re-
flecting a 12% decrease. Gulf's
splurge of increase has probably
been due to construction purchases
by contractors building the new
Port St. Joe High School and in-
dustry improvements currently un-
der construction.
Gulf County reported a whop-
ping $79,469.11 collected during
the month of October.


The hospital deductible amount is
intended to make the Medicare
beneficiary responsible for expens-
es equivalent to the average cost of
one day of hospital care.
In the event the beneficiary stays
more than 60 days, then his share
of the cost will be $13.00 -per day
for all days over 60 days up to 90
days, Snipes advised. Before Jan-
uary 1, 1970, this was $11.00 per


day. -
For more information about this
increase in hospital payments or
any other questions about Medi-
care, call or write the social secur-
ity office at 1135 Harrison Avenue,
Panama City 32401. The telephone
number is 763-5331. The office is

Gulf Coast College

Constantly

Checks Program,

"Since we send students to every
college in the South plus many in
the rest of the nation, we must
maintain a high academic standard
and remain on an accredited sta-
tus" Dr. Richard Morley told the
Kiwanis Club Tuesday. Morley was
speaking of Gulf Coast Junior Col-
lege and its constant program to
maintain high academic standards.
Morley said that Gulf Coast be-
came an accredited school in 1962
-the earliest possible date it was
eligible to apply for accreditation-
and it has maintained this status
ever since. The spealter said that
Gulf Cbast's accre-itation- status
will come up a in for examination
in 1972 and already the school has
started a self-examination program
to make 'sure everything is as it
sl6iild be to assure 'reaffirmation
of'its statOs...
The college president pointed out
that the entire Gulf Coast faculty
is cognizant at all- times of the im-
portance of their task, and with a
working relationship with student
groups, full attention is given at
all times to maintainn a high acade-
mic standard. "'
Morley touched for a few mo-'
ments on the lack of disturbance
at the Gulf Coast campus and said
the credit goes to ,the fine homes
in the area served by Gulf Coast.

Airport facilities in Florida have
doubled in number and improved
appreciably in quality during the
past ten years, the Florida State
Chamber of Commerce stated in its
Weekly Business Review released
this-week.
There were 257 airports, 18 heli
ports and six seaplane bases in
Florida as of the first of last year
The total number, 281, ranked the
state eighth in this respect. Ten
years ago the number of airport
facilities came to 140, ranking the
state in 16th place.
"Improvement in aviation facili
ties has kept pace with the gain in
numbers," Ronald S. Spencer, Jr.
chamber executive vice president
said. "For example, there are now
18 airports in the state with run
ways of 7,000 feet or more, six o
which were constructed during thi
past ten years. Today 73 of Flor
ida's airports are both paved ani
lighted, twice, the 1958 figure,
Spencer said ,
The numbers of. registered air
craft and of active pilots in th
state have also gained. Active pi
lot certificates held by Floridian
reached 30,000 last year, compared
with 13,000 in 1958. Registered ail
craft moved from 2,000 in 1958 t
7,100 last year.
During the past 20 years a total
of $94 million has been spent in
Florida' under the federal aid pr
gram, with slightly over half thi
amount being supplied by local
sponsors. This sum was spent t
improve 60 of the airports in th
state.
Meanwhile, Port St. Joe still doe
not have an airport in the mids
of this tremendous growth in ai
traffic.

the parents present, listen to an inmate of Apala-
chee Correctional Institute tell how drugs, drink-


ing, running with the wrong crowd and defying
his parents nearly ruined his life and placed him
in ACI. Four inmates from the Correctional Insti-
