Need Is Still There


It's still February .and still that time 'of year when a
cold snap can or will very probably numb us here in North-
west Florida for at least another month. Even though
warm balmy weather has blessed. us for the past several
days, the threat of cold still hangs over our heards.
But the warm, sunny weather also is "first notice"
that Spring is on the way very near -.- with Summer
not fa.r behind. Spring in this section of Florida brings
visitors. Tourists begin to flock to the beaches and to
our State Park on St. Joseph's Peninsula. Like most
of Florida, this area eagerly awaits the boost in business
these tourists bring with them.
A recent bulletin put out by the State Park Service
shows that the State Park continues to grow in popular-
ity. The bulletin showed nearly 2,000 more overnight
visitors than the year before. This was in a period when
the Park had only 35 camping spaces for most of the
time. Late in the year,' 30 new campsites were put into
, use. This is in the second year of operation for the
Park, when it's still hardly known among the campers of
South Georgia and Alabama and North Florida. It is
still for the most part, a pioneer operation.


In spite of the Park's "newness" and comparative
anonymity its use last year included 8,962 people who
camped out, buying in Port St. Joe, and boosting our
economy. A little- arithmetic will point out that nearly'
twice as many people were at the park during the sum-
mer as live in Port St. Joe. While they were not all there
at one, time, this is an average of 744 people extra per
week during the vacation season who must buy groceries,
gasoline, beach supplies and some' clothing here in our
city. "
With additional camp sites available- this year, there
is no reason but to believe that the over night camping
use should double during this year.'
The continued growing popularity of the park brings
to mind-along with the first blush of' Spring-that the
frenzied, crash' program of resurfacing the road from
State Road 30-A to the U. S. Coast Guard Station still
has not been accomplished. Its dangerous conditionwas
readily admitted last fall and the need for widening and
re-surfacing was considered mandatory. The prospects
for -a heavier traffic load this summer multiplies this'
need this need which still has not been filled.


Recorders of History


The St. Joseph Historical Society goes into its 11th
year this month still with a membership of only 12.,
This is a small organization, but who ,of our area
doesn't know about them?, Most of you are aware of
their existence. Why? Because they probably have
more activities and make more noise than any other or-
ganization in our county.
Sometime, we probably. think too lightly of the work
ofThisidozen 'zealots, who are concerned with where We
came- f~&n, and interested in preserving important hap-
penings of today-so that o.ur prpgey will be aware of
what we.-did; what we desired for our area.
How important is this work?; Is it merely satisfying
work for those interested in our background? Is it just
Sa hobby for these 12? We think not. While we tend to
gloss over the happenings of the day with not ,too much
thought about our everyday activities, someday, some-
where, someone will be asking why and what and how.
Probably the best example. of the importance of the
work of our Historical Society can be explained by
pointing to the birth of the father of our county Sunday.


Too Late To Classify
by RUSSELL KAY


Dr. Alberto Diaz Masvidal,
noted international economist
* and major stockholder of the Re-
public National Bank of Miami,
expressed the belief that the re-
cent action of the Federal Re-
Sserve Board, which authorized
banks to boost passbook savings
rates to bring them more into
line with yields available from
other securities, may bring an
increase in bank deposits from
Latin America.
For the past few years low
interest rates authorized by the
Board have handicapped Ameri-
can, banks seeking deposits from
abroad, especially Latin America.
For the past few years Latin
"America investors and institu-
tions have been directing their


business to other countries; Nas-
sau, Canada and Europe, where
their investment would earn
more.
"Now," states Masvidal, "we
'should expect to see a tremen-
dous influx of money from Latin
American countries, coming to'
Florida and Miami because this
has always been and always will.
.be one of the places in the Unit-
ed States where Latin American
businessmen feel at home since
it is the gateway to the count-
ries to the South. Through long
friendly dealings with Latins

interests have developed a mu-
tual understanding that their
Southern neighbors appreciate."

If people like the Historical Society hadn't meticulously
kept records Of Washington and what he did, Sunday
would be just another Sunday on the calendar.
Washington and his people weren't too interested in
keeping records of their every move. They were concerned
with making a living in a hard time; with wresting a new
nation from the hands of oppressors and, finally, with
bringing order out of'what was most surely chaos after
the independence was won. "Nobody had the time 'nor
the reason to keep up with everyday happenings that would
be interesting later on nobody but the Historical So-
ciety of that day. /
We're' in the same position. Important things are
happening every day. Things that our future generations
will be interested in and Want to know abbut. Today we
call it news; tomorrow it will be history.
We don't really pay too much attention to these
things today, but we believe that we: as ah area owe a
vote' of thanks to the Historical Society for recording
correctly how we began here on the shore of St. Joseph
Bay and correctly record what we are doing today.


Miami, known locally for cater-
ing to the growing Latin Com-
munity of South Florida, hailed
the Federal Reserve Board action
and announced immediately thatV
it would go "down the line" with
'the new Federal tReserve policy.
Louis Sisto, chairman of the
board of Republic, said the new
interest rates for the bank would
be 4.5 percent for small savers,
(passbook accounts), 5.5 per cent
for one yqar certificates of de-
posit and 5.75 for two year cer-
tificates, while deposits of $100,'
000 for one year or more would
receive up to 7.5 per cent inter-
est. Most banks in Florida are
adjusting their rates to conform
with the new Federal Reserve
authorization which show them
benefiting from substantial in-
creases in deposits.
In addition to serving both the
English-speaking American cus-
tomers and community and a
larger percentage of the Cubans
in Miami, the Republic Bank is
already in contact with leading
Central and South American in-
terests advising them of their
new policy and. soliciting their
patronage. -
Republic, one of Miami's fast-
est growing financial institutions,
was purchased by a group head-
ed by Dr.r Masvidal two'years.
ago. Since then the bank has
experienced a growth of 17 per-
cent in deposits. Over 90 per
cent of the bank's staff is bi-lin-
gual and the 'bank is popular
with the Latin residents of the
Miami area as well as with visi-
tors and business interests from
Central and South America.
Dr. Masvidal feels that cater-
ing especially to our local Latins
and those from South and Cen-
tral America will prove most
helpful in developing all Florida
in its trade relations and mu-
tual understanding and goodwill.

Wimberly Speaks

To Kiwanis Club

George Wimberly, manager at
the Glidden-Durkee plant here in
Port St. Joe spoke to the Kiwanis
Club Tuesday, telling the club of
the current operations of that in-
dustry, which makes naval stores
products, froin by-products from
paper mills.
Wimberly said plant production
had been increased nearly 20%
during the last year. This expan-
sion was met by 4 scarcity of the
raw product which the plant uses
and a slight softening in the mar-
ket for finished 'products. "Many
plants like us have been forced to
shut down several times during
the last few months while we have
kept operating".
Wimberly said the plant purchas-
es waste "soap" from paper mills
and removes tall oil and deriva-
tives from the "soap" recovering a
product which is used in paints,
rubber, plastics, tile, etc. "With
the depressed building market,
naturally our market is depressed,
too", Wimberly said.
The local 'plant uses roughly 10
million pounds of crude tall oil
per month in its manufacturing
process. About' three million
pounds of this raw product comes
from St: Joe Paper, Company. The
restfis bought from other mills.
Wimberly said, "We can sell all
the rosin we can make, but the
fatty acids and. distilled tall oil
sales have been slow. We hope
the sales pick up this year.
Guests off the club were 'Laura
Guilford and Kay Holland.

We ordinarily set this blurb on Saturday when there's nobody
around to disturb what little train of thought we possess. There*i
fore you will appreciate how we are going out on a limb to set up
type congratulating the Sharks-'for winning the Gulf Coast Con-
ference championship in basketball even before they win it.
If you know just how bad we hate to set type and then have to
throw it away without using it, you would realize the enormity of'
the faith we have in the Sharks winning Saturday night.
This gives the Sharks the Gulf Coast Conference championships
in both football and basketball.
Last year the Sharks lost out in the first game of conference
play in basketball, but went on to win the state championship.
"
Again we must' point to the pride the kids have in their school.
This pride has beei exemplified in the, brand of athletics they
have been supporting. We think the two go together winning
teams and pride in your school.
Don't for one minute think the pride is affecting only the ath-
letic program. The academic program is also improving by leaps
and bounds.
Probably the most valuable 'product of this pride is the lack
of trouble faced by our schools such as others are having. True,
we face the same reorganization problems as 'are faced by other
school districts, but thank heaven, we are not having the personal
animosities that are plaguing other areas. Again pride enters into
the picture. The kids are too proud to let this happen. If things
begin to get a little out of hand, the kids of both races band to-
gether to stop'it cold. We. appreciate this. As a result, the kids
are getting a better education rather than expend their energies
hating, wasting their time creating disturbances and bringing un-
told agony to their parents.
We appreciate this very much. It's much easier on our peace
of mind to write articles such as this rather than be forced to
write articles such 'as we have been reading in, the Panama City
newspapers. *
The Chinese say this is "the year of the dog".
They inust have had Port St. Joe in mind, way back thousands
of years ago, when they drew up the Chinese calendar. The dog
has his year, and his day, in Port St. Joe rightly enough. They're
everywhere. This must be a dog living town.
We're not down-grading dogs. We have a dog too, and he
is part of the family, just as we suspect your dog is also part of
your family.
We can be thankful that ouri dog can't read, because if he knew
that this is the year of the dog, along with his already considerable
feeling of importance, there would be no living with him at all.

Billy Tapper says he must be on every mailing list in the coun-
try. He said the other day he received a flyer advertising a book
for sale that taught one how to read minds. "I ordered'that one",
Billy said. Soon as Billy gets through with the book, I have first
borrowing rights. Then, again, reading other's minds may be a
might dangerous.

forStone, who was ill.
Harold Bell, professor of his-
tory at North Florida Junior Col-.
lege in Madison, spoke 'to the'
historians urging them to foster_
'a greater concern for things his,.
torical in this area.
"Some of Florida's greatest
_,Jgory occurred in this area be-
Ween Pensacola and 'Apalachi-
cola", ] ell said, "and should be
preserved for posterity".
Bell stressed a desire to see
Florida history made a manda-
tory subject in Junior and Senior
High Schools. "This would create
an interest for history as our
state background is very inter-
esting."
Bell pointed out that the Port


St. Joe area has had a part in
Florida history almost from the
discovery of the state. He cited
especially the Constitution Con-
vention held here and St. Jos-
eph's role in supplying the Con-
federate states with salt during
the Civil War.

533,000 of the previous year.;
Locally in Gulf County, the
death rate from cardiovascular
disease was 53.6% for 1969 asA
compared with 50.7% for 1967.z
This figure totals more than the
next three leadifig causes of
death combined-cancer,, acci-
dents and violent death, and res-
piratory diseases including em-
physema.
we may argue that Florida is
growing populatiomnwise, and
this is the reason for the rise.
However, there is enough statis-
tical evidence available to show
that Heart Disease has actually.
been reduced 20% since the start
of massive heart'Tesearch in 1949
and that people themselves can
reduce the percent toll through
sensible living habits.

Oak Grove


Water Due


More Talk

A copy of a letter written by
S. A. Berkowitz, Chief, Bureau
'of Sanitary Engineering for the
State of Florida, was received
here this week by the County
Commission concerning a Fed-
eral loan for construction of a
water and sewer service for the
Oak Grove community.
Berkowitz was writing Homer
E. Still, Department of Adminis-
tion, Bureau 'of Planning con-
cerning his opinion of the pro-.
ject. -
Berkowitz' letter stated that
the project vwas needed and that
"appropriate and favorable con-
sideration of the application for
federal fund assistance" be forth-
coming. The betterr went on to
state however,, that he, Berko-
-vif.z, felt the, Oak Grove needs
could better tie served by the
Cifyv f.Port,St. Joe.
The 'letter asked for another
considerhtion .of tying into the
Plit St. Joe systems before the
Fe'deal money is authorized.
Thhe letter stated, "We do, how-
evv\r feel that the long range
objective would best be met by
obtaining' service through the
utilities of the adjacent commun-
ity rather than the establish-
ment of totally separated utility
systems which might conceivably
-find it difficult to operate from
the fiscal as well as management
standpoint."

"Come and Worship God, With Us"

-- Say You Saw It In The Star -


TALLAHASSEE According
to firefighters of the Florida Di-
vision of Forestry, the year end-
ed December 31, 1969, was the
"coolest in a decade."
During 1969, a total 4,898 sep.
arate forest fire outbreaks in-
volved 63,839 forest acres state-
wide. Not only did this mean
fewer fires in a single year with
less Florida acreage burned, it
was the year when total protect-
ed acres-some 20,605,000-rep.
resented the largest surface area
ever entrusted to firefighters of
th Division of Forestry for pro-
tection.
Division of Forestry Director
John M. Bethea said that the 10-
year period represented, fire-
wise, the best ten years on rec-
ord, not only in the limited ac-
reage burned by forest fires but
in percentage-less than 3/1Oths
of one per cent-of total pro-


tected acreage.iricolved. "We had
fewer fires arid they were cool-
er than usuat," Bthea said. A
"cool fire" igsshop talk among
fire fighters which refers to com-
parative ease 0or difficulty with
which a wildfire is suppressed.
Fuel moisture'cohditions, winds,
and ground viter levels may
work together to promote a long
seige of "hot".fltes, difficult to
suppress, affeOdti.g wide areas.
"It was also' te decade," Be-
thea went on t6 say, "that the
major emphasis. n forest protec-
tion was shifted from a single
interest in comni*ercial timber by
timbermen to th broad use spec-
trum of popular recreation, anti-
pollution, preservation of wild-
life, and a more dedicated pro-
tection of the watershed.
The year 1969, from point of
volume of rainfadl statewide, was
the wettest yea .in ten, or near-


ly so.
Looking back through the dec-
ade, Bethea noted that 1967,
1968, and 1962 were significant
years of drought and unusually
large surface forestland burned.
In 1968, some 7,342 fires burned
137,674 Florida forest acres; in
the preceding year 7,474 separ-
ate wildfires seared a forest area
totaling 171,000 acres. Still show-
ing in the record of the decade
as a monumental year for fire-
fighters, and one of the most cri-
tical ever faced by the Division
of Forestry in 41 years, was 1962
when 8,608 forest wildfires hit
262,160 acres.
During the 10-year period end-
ed December 31, 1969, Division of
Forestry firefighters were com-
mitted to protect 3,400,000 addi-
tional acres, reaching a total pro-
tection commitment now stand-
ing at 20,605,972 acres. __

People Who Do Not Make Application

Is Concern of Social Security Office


Disabled -persons in this area
who do not file a chaim for social
security benefits when they be-
come disabled is of great concern
to.Jack E. Snipes, Manager of the
Panama City Social Security Of-
fice.
Many people wait months and
some even years filing a claim. By
not filing a claim soon after they
become disabled ,these individuals
are in many cases losing money
and delaying payment of benefits
the' are entitled to.
Snipes pointed out that a claim
should be filed just as soon as it
appears likely the disability will
last 12 months or more. Prompt
filling will help to insure prompt
payment to persons entitled to
benefits.
In addition to being unable to
engage in any substantial gainful
activity for 12 months or more, a
worker must have worked under
social security a certain amount of
time to be eligible for monthly
benefits. For most persons, five


years of work ifnder social security
out of the 10 ydars just before be-
coming disabled is needed.
Persons who become disabled be-
fore age 31 can qualify with less
than five years ,of work. These
young workers need credits for
half the time between age 21 and
the time their become disabled.
Workers who -are disabled before
age 24 can qualify with as little as
1% years of work credits.
Snipes urged anyone not I sure
whether he wodld meet the require-
ment for disability to get in touch
with the Social Security Office. If
you do meet the' requirements, a
claim should be filed immediately.
Monthly benefits are payable af-
ter a disability has lasted six full
calendar months.
The Social Security Office is
located at 1135 Harrisoi Ave.,Pana-
ma City 32401. The phone number
is 763-5331. The office is open Mon-
day through Friday from 8:30 a.m.
to 4:30 p.m., except on national
holidays.


tion or driver license examining
'office," said Keith, "but their re-
cord will be'checked and it must
be clear before a license will be
issued."
Keith reminded drivers that
Florida law requires that the De-
partment be notified of address
changes within ten days after a
move. He emphasized the import-
ance of having a correct address on
file by saying, "This central is-
suance program is dependent upon
drivers keeping the Department ad-
vised of address changes. An in-
correct address will cause delay
and inconvenience."
SDrivers, who have not notified
the Department of address changes
were urged to. send their complete
name, driver license number and
new address to Driver License Di-
vision, Department of Hifghw'ay
Safety and Motor Vehicles, Kirk-
man,Building, Tallahassee, Florida
32304. "Change of Address" forms
are available at Florida Highway
Patrol stations, driver license ex-
amination offices, and county jud-
ges' offices, according to Keith.
