Shar The Bulletin ' z^3 PAGE TWO THE STAR, Port St. Joe Fla. 32456THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1970 Editorials... 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 over, the years, Miami business interests have developed a mu- tual understanding that their Southern neighbors appreciate."

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.

Mike mounted up a tot4l of 32 points. a Etaoin Shrdlu by WESLEY R. RAMSEY r \ 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. *5 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.

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."

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.

"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. __ NOW...YOUCA BUDGET YOUR ELECTRIC LLS WITH OUR NEW EQUAL PAYMENT PLAN City Lays Drainage.

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.
