Bandmaster- James Clark said
this week that the" drive to pur-
chase new uniforms for the Port
St. Joe High School band is gain-
ing momentum, and the goal is
now over half way complete.
Clark saidflhat in addition to
* a uniform fund established by
'the Band Parents Association and
built up over the past three
years, many' parents and organi-
zations are getting into the act
* and donating all or part of a
new uniform. :
Many parents liave donated
uniforms. The Port St. Joe Ro-
tary Club has agreed to purchase
a uniform. Four clubs at the
High School have donated $20.00
each to the fund, which will buy
a complete uniform and part of
another. Band. students have
* earned nearly two uniforms

ternoons.
Several other projects are in
the planning stage for the next.
few weeks.
Cdark said plants are to call

estimates.
The tracking site at Vitro will
- be engaged in intensive .obser-
vation and probes of the atmos-
phere during the eclipse. A corps
of 80 scientists and technicians
from all over the United States
will be gathered at the site, with
its instrumentation, observing

nicians at the site will launch
15 rocket probes before, during
and after the eclipse.
Stay Clear
People are warned not .to--go-
down the park-road any farther
than the east edge of the Vitro
site during t he observation.
Those who wish to, watch the
scientific probes being launched
can best do so by going to the
highway or beach in the Money

areas. '
Vitro Services will have guards
posted to keep people away


from the danger zones.
Don't Stare
People are cautioned against--
staring directly;at the sun during.
the eclipse, even with protection,
over the eyes. Short glances will
not be too dangerous, but star-
ing for 15 seconds or more may
permanently damage the eye.
Several approved viewing de-
vices have been published by

television during, the past few
days and those desiring to look
at the sun during the eclipse are
cautioned, to use one of these
devices.

"We collect various fees", Prid-
geon said, "on license tags, boat
registration fees, and various
other, services rendered.- These

Florida Power Is

National Exception

The one exception to a nation-
al trend toward higher utility
rates is Florida Power Corpora-
tion, according to the February
23 issue of U. S. News and World
Report.
An article titled, "Trend of
American Business" states that,
during 1969, there was a "start-
ling change" nationwide in all
utilities, with scores of compan-
ies requesting rate hikes. Flor-
ida Power, it said, has reduced
its rates three times in the past
year.
Wes Thompson, local FPC dis-
trict manager, attributed the re-
ductions to greater sales volume
and operating economies. He
said, 'We are determined to pro-
vide the best service anywhere,
and at the lowest possible cost
to the customer."-

One would think by reading the papers lately that

We Ignore Some Dangers


'We are very much disturbed over our land about the
excessive and abusive use of drugs. Marijuana and its use
by the young people has brought down the righteous
"wrath of most of the people for.strong laws to prohibit
its use. We go along with that and with stiff penal-
' ties for the illegal use of any drug, including marijuana.
* Cigarettes also have been taking their lumps from
Sthe medical people, and we can find no argument against
their thinking or their claims that the white "coffin nails"
are dangerous to the user. The evidence is overwhelming.
We think it is a brave thing the government, the
health organizations and others are doing in bucking a
multi-million dollar business in the United States because
the health of people is at stake. Warnings of the danger
of cigarettes should be made public as with any product
used by thousands and millions of people, which is injur-
ious to health.
Drugs and cigarettes are becoming dirty words in
our society.


But what about alcohol? All we worry about is
whether the stuff is legal or not. Not a word (figureative-
ly speaking) has been said about the dangers of alcohol.
One small paragraph was published'in last week's is-
sue of Newsweek concerning the dangers of, alcohol. The
article, devoting three pages to the dangers of drugs and
cigarettes, had two short paragraphs about the dangers
of alcohol. A squeak compared to the shout of the other
two detriments to our health.
In this short article, it was stated that researchers
have determined that alcohol causes the chemistry in the
brain to manufacture a chemical which is the same chem-
ical found in the poppy plant, which manufactures opium,
from which morphine is derived. Morphine is considered
an illegal dope if used in the wrong way, but alcohol,
which manufactures a morphine-like substance in pour
brains is legal and accepted.
It's amazing how we can be so cognizant of :some
dangers and so blind to others.


Rotarians Elect

Three Members

Two young ladies, Jan Newsport
and Linda aowe, of Panama City,
demonstrated the "Inchmaster" to
the Rotary Club at their regular
meeting last Thursday. The ma-
chine is a home exerciser for build-
ing ul muscle tone.
Rotarians Bill Altstaetter, Dave'
May and Floye Brewton were in-
vited to try the machine.
Thursday was election day for
Rotarians, with directors chosen
for the new fiscal year which be-
gins on July 1, 1970. Elected to
serve as directors for a two year
period were Wesley R. Ramsey, W.
B. Simmons and Floye Brewton.

point the finger at any one in-
dividual or group. IWe have all
contributed and continue to do
so.
Government itself has been
guilty of polluting many of our
lakes and streams, probably as
much as has large industry. In-
dividual citizens: with their au-
tomobiles, airplanes and trash:
burning do their part to foul the.,
air. The situation has worsened
from year to year with nobody
doing anything about it, but
everybody pointing the finger at
the other fellow,
Now we have just about reach-
ed the "moment of truth." Either
we can take drastic steps to cor-
rect the situation and be prepar-
ed to meet the cost, or we can
expect to be wearing gas masks
and fighting a food shortage be-
fore the turn of the century.

Trees are very important to us. I Not only does it taken seven
trees to absorb the exhaust from one automobile, but it takes a

So, plant a tree: they'll keep you breathing and eating!

We haven't had the' opportunity to see much of the Sharks Y
basketball team in action this year. One thing or another prevent-
ed us from attending most of the games. But nothing could prevent
us from attending the tournament. Mostly because it is the end
of the season,' and the chance to see the team in action is rapidly
ending.
After seeing the Sharks crank up their well-oiled machine and
go into overdrive in the tournament action, we realized we had
missed much this year. With two strong teams making up their
roster, the Sharks seem a sure bet to go to Jacksonville for the
state finals again this year.
They are a delight to watch.
We had a preacher at our church last week conducting a
Bible study for the church. He made a statement that you might
like to think about. This preacher said that we wouldn't have
any trouble at all including war if we could control our.
tongues. /
; When you get to thinking about it, if one knew just when to
shut his mouth or when to change his phrasing, his lot would be
better. We wouldn't agree to do things we couldn't do. We
wouldn't hurt feelings that can't be repaired. We wouldn't talk
ourselves into situations we couldn't get out of.
But, I'm not about o have mine cut out, just td stay out of
trouble as bUssful as staying out of trouble would be.

Change Primary Time


Senator Mallory Horne has pre-filed a bill to change
the Florida primaries to July, rather than September.
lorme backs up his position by stating that the Septem-
ber primaries disenfranchises Florida service men over-
seas because there is not enough to time to mail them
absentee ballots in time for the general election in No-
yember. Also Florida's method of voting on Presidential
convention delegates would have to be changed, since
-Florida's elections now come after the Presidential con-
ventions are over.
The September election date was selected because
of the annual session in the spring. The annual session.
could not be changed because the South Florida legisla-
tors wanted to be home during the fall and winter sea-
sons to pick the "Yankee. green".


SToo Late To Classify
'by RUSSELL KAY


Considering the disagreeable
winter Florida has experienced
this season, along with' the al-
most constant severe weather in
the north and northwest, one
may well ask if our continent's
weather patterns are changing.


I have been a resident of Flor-
ida since 1914 and can't recall a
year when so many cold fronts
have entered the state bringing
heavy rains, high winds and
cold.

The easiest thing for the state at large, would be to'
change the session of the Legislature and leave the pri-
maries as they are. As far as that goes, why not change
the session of the legislature to July?
Most municipalities in the state have their elections
in the fall so as not to 'conflict with state elections. So
in changing the session of the state legislature to accom-
modate about 100 men, we have disrupted the entire
state.
While Mr. Horne's July primaries make more sense
than does September primaries, we still believe the best
interest of -the state would be served to leave the pri-
maries in May and change the session date of the legis-
lature.


canes in Florida, but not torna-
does. Now we have them fre-
quently and some quite severe.
I have lived in Florida many
years and cannot recall a tornado
hitting anywhere in the state,
until a decade or s& ago. Now it
seems we can expect them every-
time a cold front enters the area.
SIn the 20's, 30's and 40's we
expected three or four cold
spells during the winter season,
usually with frost and low tem-
peratures. But it would warm up
after three or four days and re-
main pleasant and warm for a
week or so.'
Scientists of some schools tell
us that the continent's weather
really is'changing and they pre-'
dict that we can expect colder
weather every year. Some blame


it on our upset of the balance of,
nature, others the testing of
bombs with attendant atmospher-
ic disturbances. I hope they are
wrong.and that in the decade to
'come we can look forward to
more normal weather patterns,
not only for Florida but the na-
tion .and the continent.
Conservationists tell us that
we have steadily fouled our at-
mosphere until we have reduced
ibe amount of sunshine reaching
the earth ,and consequently invite
older weather. I do not question
that we certainly have fouled the
air but whether or not it has con-
tributed to our present day
weather I could not say.
There is no question that pol-.'
lution has had a lot to' do with
our' problems today. We cannot

The tea tasters have to go!
This is a terrible thing!
President Nixon, in pruning his budget can find no money to
pay the tea tasters, so they must disband, leaving us at the mercy
of unscrupulous tea trees, which will now, revert to growing in-
ferior tea leaves. This also leaves the way wide open for tea
pickers to pick the tough bottom leaves for us peoxis, saving the
tender top leaves for favored customers. Some manufacturers of
instant tea may even become dispicable enough to throw a little
instant coffee into the instant tea, just to make it go farther.
This would get us right where it hurts.
But, we must console oursleves with the thought that when
the economy ax falls it knows no favorites except the salary
of the Congressman.

NO EXTRA COST! You pay no,
more for this convenience. You pay
the same amount each month. It elimi-
nates higher, seasonal bills. Allows
you to budget your payments on a
yearly basis.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS: We
add up your electric bills for the past


12 months to determine what your
total will be for the next 12 months.
We then divide by 12 and bill you for
the same amount each month.
At the end of that year, any difference
will be figured into the following year.

Fifty-Eight Scouts Turn Out for

Regular Troop Meeting Monday Night


" Fifty-eight Scouts were present
(or the troop meeting Monday night
Ibr Troop 47. The opening cere-
Jnony was led by the troop bugler,
fMike Hallinan.
. Scoutmaster Clyde Whitehead
tommended the Scouts on their
February campout and made the
Saetnouncement of the-appointment
of Billy Floyd as Senior Patrol
Leader and James McNeill, Assist-
ant. Senior Patrol Leader. The
meeting was then turned over to
Assistant Scoutmaster Tony Boyd.
Tony led the troop in Scouteraft
activities and games.
While the Thoop was being led
by Tony, the Scoutmaster held a


meeting -with his Patrol Leaders.
He discussed the size of the Troop
and size of the Patrols. Scouting
limits the number of Scouts in a
Patrol to eight. Some of the Pa-
trols had as many as 13. The Pa-
trol leaders were directed to pick
seven scouts for their patrols. As
a result, four new patrols were
formed Monday night, which brings
the total to ten patrols. Next Mon-
day, the new patrols will be nam-
ed and Patrol leaders elected. The
program next Monday' night will be
a compass course to a wiener roast.
Scouts are urged to bring their
compass to the meeting.
Due to the cookout the meeting
,will not be over until 10:00 p.m.

Courthouse Sub-Contractor



Files Suit Against County


, County Attorney William J.
Rish told the County Commission
Tuesday night that a sub-contrac-
tor on construction of the court
house is suing the, County for
payment. Rish said the suit has'
been filed in Pensacola, but that
a motion has been filed to trans-
fer the case' to Gulf County.
The County is still, holding

back approximately $8,000 due to
some items not being fixed as
the Board thought they should.
The Board has been in a con-
stant disagreement with the
prime contractor, Guin and Hunt
of Pensacola and the architect,
Paul Donofro of Marianna over
