The Gulf County School Board
met the deadline set by HEW
last Wednesday, filing a plan for
school integration in the county.
This is the first written plan
submitted by Gulf County, al-
though Health, Education and
Welfare Department representa-
tives have previously met with
the Board to discuss desegrega-
tion plans and were familiar with
what Gulf is doing and plan to
do.
Superintendent of Public In-
struction Marion Craig stated,

Set for Gulf


Teledyne Exploration of Hous-
ton, Texas is in the process of
moving a 30-man crew into Port
St. Joe to conduct seismograph
tests throughout the county, ac-
cording to Bob Spurgeon, who is
in charge of the team.
Spurgeon said the group will
be here for about a year and
will conduct tests throughout the
county on leases that have been
in effect for several years.
The group will go over areas
that have been tested before as
well as testing in some new
areas.
"In the past", Spurgeon said,
"tests were made only where a
truck could go, but we will have
tractor mounted equipment and
will do considerable testing in
the swamps and woods as well
as areas we can get to by road."
Spurgeon pointed out that the
areas are to be re-tested with new
techniques developed since the
last exploration team covered
Gulf County.
The testing will consist of seis-
mograph and drilling operations.
The firm is making its head-
quarters in the Wimberly build-
ing on the corner of Monument
and Second Street.

'"we have complied with the
wishes of HEW, but we feel it
is only a matter of time before
the plan will be turned down.
We hope that we can get by this
school term before any drastic
changes, such as shifting stu-
dents, will have to be made."
Chaig said, "We are not planning
to upset any student during the
middle of his year".
Basically, the plan which was
drafted in a special meeting Tues-
day night, is a proposal to zone
the county into elementary school
districts, with a fully integrated
high school operation in Port St.
Joe.
In addition to the move of all
high school students to Port St.

A program of covering up dit-
ches in the City with drain pipe
installed was inaugurated by the
City Commission Tuesday night.
The new program, designed to
eventually put drain pipe in all
open ditches in the city, is to
be undertaken on a piece-work
basis with a little being done each
year. It was pointed out that the
program will pay for itself in
savings of labor and material now
being expended to keep the dit-
ches open for: drainage as well
as giving a better appearance.
Nine projects were set up to
be accomplished during the re-
mainder of the current fiscal
year, which will include piping
and covering over 1,666 feet of
ditches during this period.
Ditches to be covered this year
are: South side of 10th St., from


Monument to Palm; North side
of Avenue F from Battle St.,
west; South side of 11th from
Palm to Monument; South side
of 8th St., from new tennis court;

Not Interested In Peace


We anxiously wait with bated breath to see just what
the liberal press and television commentators of our coun-
try, the so-called "doves" and the critical European press
will have to say over the refusal of North Vietnam to let
Texas billionaire Ross Perot bring Christmas gifts and
dinners to our American prisoners of war in North Viet-
nam. We can hardly wait to see how America has erred
in this venture; what dire threat this was to the peace-
loving Vietnamese and, world harmony.

For more than two weeks, Perot had a plane loaded
and waiting to bring a little Christmas cheer to what is
probably the most cheerless of situations. Plea after plea
was issued to every Communist government to let the de-
livery go through, but no dice.

But, let some Vietnamese "civilians" snipe on our
troops, harbor the enemy and feed him, set up crippling
and killing booby traps, shoot our troop laden helicopters
killing the men therein, and these same "civilians" get
themselves killed in the process, and the clap of doom is
sounded against those "blood-thirsty savages claiming to


be peace-loving Americans."
Perot seemed to us to exemplify the nature of Amer-
icans of trying in every way to bring a better life to those
who need it. Maybe we bungle at times; but our intentions
should be above question at least by our own people.
Perot's, lack of success in his mission should also
point out that the Vietnamese, the Red Chinese and, to a
certain extent the Russians, are not at all interested in our
welfare or the welfare of mankind, period. Their sole aim
is to promote suffering, unrest, turmoil and dissention
throughout the world, regardless of how many people are
made miserable. :
Perot should have expected only what reception he re-
ceived from those who live under the communist theme.
Perot's failure should also bolster the recently audi-
ble "silent majority" to back more fully our Nation's
resistance to Communist aggression, since it has been
spelled out emphatically that the Communists of what-
ever nation are not at all interested in peace on earth,
good will toward men.


With the end of the old year and the decade of the
'60's some of the bleeding heart columnists such as Max
Lerner and Sidney J. Harris took pen in hand and gladly
bid the '60's adieu, saying they would not be miissed. It
was evident that they felt the '60's were the worst of dec-
ades and man was better off now that they were gone.
They also saw no hope for the future.
These are learned men, even with their philosophies,
and one has to respect their knowledge. But to say that
the '60's was a bad decade is poppycock.
It's true our particular nation was marred by three
senseless assassinations, our country went further into
debt, we are still in Vietnam, etc., etc., etc. The '60's were
far from perfect. But what decade has been?
When one looks at the plus side of things, he sees a
terrific decade, one in which man made more progress to-
ward social harmony and the good life for individuals than
at any time in history.
In our nation alone, medical discoveries were made to
startle the imagination of man. More and better drugs
and medical discoveries keep man's lost time due to ill-
ness to a bare rniniinum Organ transplants made more
headway in the past decade than in all of previous history
combined. While we have no records to back it up, it


would seem to us that man's physical well being has been
bolstered more in the '60's than at any other time since
the discovery of the need for sterilization.

Science has taken enormous strides in the '60's. Not
the least of these accomplishments was man walking on
the moon, wide-spread use of computers, technological ad-
vancement in every field.

The achievements of the '60's have increased man's
living standards at an unbelievable pace. More people are
earning a good, decent living than at any time in history.
Even the poor (which are fewer in number than at any
time in history) have been provided for in a way never
before thought possible.

While the '60's brought the dubious "sex freedom"
thrown at us from every periodical now, it also brought
an awareness of the need for something better in our lives.
The "new morality" has focused more and keener attention
upon just how good and important the true morality really
is. While people are vacating churches that preach so-
cial and political change, they are flocking to the churches
that preach the need for a change in our lives.

The '60's a bad decade? Glad to see it gone? Only
because we can hardly wait for what the '70's will bring.

GARDEN CLUB WILL MEET
TODAY, JANUARY 8
The Port St. Joe Garden Club
will have its January meeting to-
day at the Garden Center. The
meeting will begin at 3:00 p.m.
How to use dry materials in ar-
rangements will be discussed dur-
ing the program.
Members are asked to bring dry
arrangements for display.
Guests are welcome.


It takes a holiday coming along every once in a while to, re-
mind us just how much we are creatures of habit.
We never look at a calendar or the top of the morning paper
to find out-or reassure ourself-of just what day of the week it
is. All we have to do is look at what we have to do on a certain
day and we can tell you what day it is. All of these days cen-
ter around Wednesday, the day we print the paper. The remainder
of the days we can tell by the progress made and the task being
performed on the paper. No calendar needed.
But these odd-ball press days get us all out of kilter. Too
many days left at the last of the week.
*
And speaking of habits it looks like the Ramsey family
is getting into the habit of some one of them going to the hospital
on the Christmas holidays. Last year, I went with a kidney stone.
The year before, I had a long-needed hernia operation.
This Christmas holiday, daughter Catherine went to Warner
Robins, Georgia, to visit with her grandparents before going back
to her last term of college at the University of West Florida, when
she came down with the miseries, had to be put in the hospital up
there and was operated on Monday.
But, looking back on it, I guess Frenchie and I have been very
lucky. We have been married 23 years, raised six children ando
that's only the fourth trip to the hospital by a member of our
family in those 23 years. There's a bright side to everything.
*
I want you people to help me look for a good job for Bob King,
our tooth dentist here in Port St. Joe. Looking over the papers
the other day, I read where the American Dental Society predicts
that within 10 years a serum will be developed to eliminate tooth
decay. They say the tooth decay is caused by a virus in the system
and that a serum will be developed to prevent tooth decay for life.
This has me worried. Bob is accustomed to living pretty good.
He's getting too old to learn a new trade. On top of that, he likes
his leisure time and if he worked for someone else, he might have
to put in longer hours and have less time off (everyone knows when
one works for himself, he can take off anytime he wants too).
You be on the look-out now, and help me out in this task, be-
cause if that serum is developed, Bob will just have to have an-
other job.
*
The laugh of the week was the French acting like they didn't
know those gunboats were sailing to Israel.
The French have made a habit for the past few years of selling
anything to anybody who wanted to buy. They have made a com-
fortable living selling armaments to both the Israelis and the Arabs
over the past decade as well as selling to our enemies and their
former enemies, the North Vietnamese.


-Dear Wesley and. Frenchie:
Received your lovely card to-
-day and was so very happy to
hear from you. Your thoughtful-
ness was certainly appreciated.
Wish you had written a note but
for people who write all day I
:guess writing is no pleasure. I can
certainly appreciate that.
Things are very quiet here. The
only exciting thing that has hap-
pened lately was the Bob Hope
show. He had an excellent troupe
this year. His show will be tele-
vised over NBC January 15. The
portion of the show filmed at
Camp Eagle is the part, I was
able to attend so when you see


Camp Eagle I'm somewhere in
the crowd of about 20,000. In his
cast this year was Connie Stev-
ens, Neil Armstrong, Suzanne
Carney, Miss World from Austria,
the Negro girl who is a star on
"Laugh In", an excellent juggling
team, the Gold Diggers and Les
Brown and his band. It was an
excellent production that you
won't want to miss. I recommend
it highly. This was the first year
he has brought his show this far
North. We are located just out-
side the famed city of Hue.
Hope everything at home is
fine. Give my regards to the good
people there. Their prayers for
our boys here are certainly felt

Woodlands Are Shrinking In Size

But Forest 'Demands Are Growing

Foresters and forest economists from wildlife; (3) introduction of
have long noted the trend toward genetically superior tree specimens;
shrinking acreage in 'woodlands, (4) better insect and disease con-
even as demand for forest products trol within the forest and (5) re-
increases.


Chances aie, in Florida we may
be sure there will never be more
forested acres than the 21,000,000
now in being, though more forest
use is indicated.
Foresters believe that the severe
shortages coming before the year
2000 can be alleviated by such ap-
proaches as: (1) more intense man-
agement of existing forest acerage;
(2) even more efficient protection

and appreciated.
Regardless of public opinion, I
feel very-strongly that the Viet-
namization of the war is making
progress. There is even a rumor
afoot that our tour length will be
reduced to ten months before
long.
It seems a shame that the boys
here are fighting for a freedom
the protected at home don't ap-
preciate. We are suffering from
combat fatigue while the folks
at home are suffering from "pro-
test" fatigue. It's a strange
world.
If you ever need a short space
filler you can print my address.
Cards and letters from home sure
mean a lot. All we get in the pa-
pers here are headlines about
those who are against our being
here. It would be nice to hear
from the "silent majority" who
are proud of what we are doing.
That is the news we enjoy best.
My regards to all.

It is research which is most dif-
ficult to put forward explicit. Yet,
here are several explanations of
forest research conducted by the
Division of Forestry or in coopera-
tion,with U. S. Forest Service, and
they may prove useful in solving
the problems of forest productivity.
The Division of Forestry is coop-
erating with the fire laboratory at
Macon, Georgia, in a study of igni-
tion of certain common fuels in
Florida. Testing is being done in a
series of studies involving wire-
grass, pine needles, oak leaves, and
other type "forest" fuels.
Research foresters also are as-
sisting in evaluating the present
accepted firespotting system and in-
vestigating other reporting systems
such as aerial detection with light
aircraft, or combination of tower
detection and aerial spotting.
A study is under way to analyze
suppression factors in wind and
humidity. Continuous readings from
three key points in the state -
Jacksonville, Ocala and Tallahassee
* will be injected into a study formu-
la to make more efficient the dis-
patch of suppression crews of fires.
In cooperation with the fire la-
boratory at Macon, the Division of
Forestry is interested in studies to
find the usefulness of polyphos-
pates against muck fires. Aerial
results are encouraging, especially
in halting perimeter increase of
such fires. Chemically-treated muck
may yield a much needed answer to
an unrelenting problem of central
and south Florida muck fires.

LETTERS

TO THE EDITOR






















Could it be that conservation-
ists have at last reached a point
of agreement?
If so, it's a new departure since
conservationists and naturalists
have long been at odds about
which particular approach should
be used if America's declining
natural bounty is to be preserv-
ed. Some felt only drastic mea-
sures, a virtual totalitarianism,
should be used if America's nat-
ural resources and the remnants
of her wildlife were to be saved.
Others thought that a compro-
mise approach with industry
would be useful, while others
'"F continued to debate the mean-
ings of terms.
The contest is not new. Some'
resources were being exploited
even before the first Europeans
moved inward from the beaboard.
Our forests-and the use of
those forests-might be describ-
ed as being at the mercy of the
public. If one looks back to the-
1500's and 1600's when Europeans
began to tread in numbers on
this continent, we see a night-
mare of resource destruction. The
forests were cut, burned, cleared,
exploited in the most wanton
ways. Apparently no thought was
given for the immediate genera-
tion following, and certainly no
thought was given to 10 or' 20
generations ahead. The top soil
of America was mined with cold
and defiant contempt for future
needs. Later, the marvelously
pure, clear streams of fresh wa-
ter were so abused and defiled
that now in many cases even the
scavenger species of fish cannot
live there.
Productive protected forests,
pure water, healthy watershed,
minimum erosion-each and all-
are impossible without public
and individual support.
The public at large, just as
surely as a given individual, will
not protect the resources of this
land if there is no sense of ap-
preciation for the natural heri-
tage.
There are clearly evident cas-
es of savages in the tropics who
are more devoted to conserving
the resources of the jungle than

Notes

by CHARLES REEVES
County Forester

are many of the so-called educat-
ed citizenry of our modern civ-
ilization their own natural re-
sources!
Apart from factors of bounti-
ful nature, is the more material
element of the economy. The har-
vest of raw forest materials from
crash of felled tree to the final
sale or use, totals some 1.2 bil-
lion dollars per year in our state.
Conservation is vital 'to the
continued growth and future of
the economy of Florida, and the
well-being of our citizenry. It is
not just a challenge, it is a call!
The need is so great, the field
so broad that no Floridian need
dismiss himself from it. Every
person must know where his in-
terests lie!

THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. 32456 THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1970 PAGE FIVI


The Camp family knew
about birth defects long be-
fore. their son David was
born. Although they had
four healthy daughters, the
life of one of their nephews
,had been claimed by a he-
i reditary disease seven years
earlier.,
Every father -wants a soni,
but Mr. Camp knew. that his
nephew's 'illness had been
"sex-linked"--that is, .girls
carry the gene but boys 'get
the illness-and that if his
wife bore. g son, -he would
irun a.,50-50 chance of being
afflicted.
When David was born on
March 19, 1968 in Wallingford,
Conn., his parents and doctor
were on the alert." At first,
David seemed a fine, healthy
looking 7 pound 10 ounce baby.
But Dr. Jerome L'Heureux did
r not relax." He knew that if
David was suffering from. the
same condition as his cousin,
the signs might not show up
initially.
Three months later, the in-
sidious illness was -discovered
in laboratory tests. As feared,
the diagnosis was sex-linked
- -. lymphopenic immunologic. de-'
Ificiency.
The prognosis was not good.
[Effects of this disease had al-
ways destroyed its -victims'
lives before their first birthday.
Years of Research
Agammaglobulinemia (AGG)
was first described in 1953.
;David's body lacked the nor-
;mal defense system-. which
helps us fight infections. Even
,a mild childhood illness could
cause his death because of the
deficiency in his ability to
produce antibodies.
As far as Dr. L'Heureux
knew, nothing effective could
*be done for David.
But when he consulted with
his colleagues about the case,
one called his attention to the
.AGG research work of Dr.
R'.obert A. Good at the Uni-
versity of Minnesota.
He contacted Dr. Good and
initiated a string of events
that led to the first successful
bone marrow transplant in his-
tory-giving life to one little
boy, and giving hope to many
others afflicted with immuno-
logic deficiencies. "
Dr. Good is one of the many
researchers whose work is sup-


HELPING HER BROTHER, David, is a habit with Doreen Camp.
She was the donor for albone marrow transplant that.corrected a
rare immunological birth defect in'the- Connecticut lad.-


ported by grants from. the Na-
tional Foundation-March of
Dimes. A professor of pediat-
rics and microbiology at the
University* of Minnesota, he
has been a National Founda-
tion grantee since 1960.
He and his associates have
been conducting a variety of
research projects related to
birth. defects of .the immunity
system and bodily. defenses.
To correct such defects, Dr.
Good wanted to transplant
healthy bone marrow into pa-
tients with such defects in
order to reconstitute their im-
munologic systems.
Other investigators had con-
sidered this line of treatment,
but previous attempts at trans-
plantation had failed because
of overwhelming, and ultimate-
ly fatal-graft-vs.-host reac-
tions.
Most people are familiar-
with the concept of the GVH
reaction -today because of the
publicity that heart transplants
have received. When foreign
material enters the body, anti-
bodies tend to build up and
attack or reject this material.
This is the "rejection reaction"
-the body rejects the donor
material.
The GVH reaction is essen-
tially the opposite of the re-
jection reaction. The antibody
cells of the graft or donor
material attack the host body
into which it is transplanted.
The reaction can be mini-
mized only by matching the
donor material as closely as
possible to that of the patient.


The well-known "process of
blood typing, i.e., assuring that.
a person with type A blood is
not transfused with type B
blood, is analagous to the
matching which must be done
before a transplant. But the
marrow-grafting procedure is
much more difficult.
Miracle in Minneapolis
This is where previous at-
tempts had failed and whereI
Dr. Good and his associates
succeeded.
By August 1968, the entire
Camp family "had journeyed
to the March .of Dimes Birth
Defects Research Center in
Mineapolis.
After extensive testing of
David's four sisters, nine-year-
old Doreen was chosen as the
donor. On August 24, the trans-
plant was performed. About
two ounces of marrow was
withdrawn through a hollow
needle from Doreen's hipbone
and injected into David's ab-
dominal cavity.
On September 2; Labor Day,
David began to take a turn for
the worse. But after an initial
bout with the dreaded GVH
reaction, his symptoms sub-
subsided and the donor cells
seemed to take hold. A sec-
ond transplant was required
in November and David began
to improve dramatically.
Christmas 1969 was a very
merry one for the Camp fam-
ily. David was home again-
a healthy little boy. The doc-
tors' instructions: "Treat him
like a normal boy."

Most of us are familiar with
sucl,'attractions as Silver Springs
andt Cypress Gardens and other
well promoted points of interest
in Florida. But few realize that
Florida can lay claim to many,
less publicized spots'that have a,
rich historical background.
We are urged to "Re-Discover
Florida" in an interesting book
carrying that title. Florida na-
tives and visitors would do well
to seek out these historic spots
described by a native Florida
"Cracker" with a background ;of
35 years as a journalist and tele-
vision news man.
My good friend Hampton Dunn,
now vice president and public
relations man -for Peninsula Mo;
tor Club of Tampa, authored the
"book for which Florida owes him
a monumental debt.
Dunn's book will tell you more
about Florida's history and tradi-
tions than any other book you
might read. Written in a breezy,
informal style, it carries you
from Fort Pickens in Pensacola to
historical Key West. Reading it,
you rub shoulders with Spanish
explorers, pirates and other his-
torical characters who played a
part in Florida's development.
and history.
Reading the book I was grati-
fied that, although not a native
Floridian, I had personally visit
ed most of the spots he describes;
Having come here some 65 years
ago, I seem-to have the -same'
love of the state as Hampton',
Dunn and I can understand his
enthusiasm.
Few, if any, states have more
historical points than Florida for'
we run the gamut from indians


to men in space. Somd of these
attractions may not be very spec-
tacular, but they are part of our
heritage and well worth visiting.
Each subject in "Rl-Discover"
Florida"' is a tangible' reminder
of an event, incident or little
known historical, site. that still
remains in spite of the develop-
er's bulldozer. It is my hope that
they will remain unspoiled and
kept up as state or national
shrines or monuments. We owe
that to posterity.
Dunn is no amateur. He has a
-background in newspaper work
that earned him many journalis-
tic honors including a "story of
the year" award from the Asso-
ciated Press. He was recently
named a member of the Pensa-
cola Historical Restoration and
Preservation Committee by Gov-
ernor Kirk. He is also a member
of the Florida Historical Society
and the Historical Association of
Southern Florida.
Author of a syndicated news-
paper column, "Photouring Flor-
ida," and a contributor to Florida
Trend ;Magazine, Dunn's book
was actually made up from the
most interesting of his many ar-
ticles appearing in many Florida
publications.
Orders for the book may be
sent to Re-Discover Florida, 1061
Carirollwood Drive, Tampa, 33618.
It is available in paperback for
$2.95 and'$5.95 for the cloth plus'
tax and 25 cents mailing fee. You
will find it a worthwhile addition
to your library if you are a Flor-.
ida "Cracker" or just a visitor in-
.lerested in the great historic
traditions of the state.

taking the prescription.
7. Refill information-for use by the pharmacist to facilitate service to the
