crew chief, H. L. Anderson,
said the new ambulance ser-
vice was manned around the
clock during the three-day


holiday and made five runs.
The ambulance service is
now operated on a call-out
basis, with the operators be-


ing on call at home. Anderson
said the service doesn't have
enough personnel to keep
people on duty at the station


around the clock without
working a hardship on those
volunteers who have signed
up for the program thus far.


The last of a series of
political rallies will be held
here in Port St. Joe Saturday
afternoon, winding up the
pre-election speaking oppor-
tunities for Gulf County cand-
didates.
Saturday's rally will be
held in downtown Port St. Joe
at the intersection of Reid
Avenue and Highway 71. All
candidates will be invited to


speak.
In addition to the speaking,
the Port St. Joe Jaycees will,
be selling fried fish dinners
during the afternoon. The
Jaycees fry up a batch of fish
for each local rally to raise
funds for their Toys for Tots
program and to help draw a
larger crowd to the rallies.
The rallies are sponsored
by the Gulf County Democra-
tic Executive Committee.

Cabinet Delays


River Purchase
/
A Department of Natural Resources recom-
mendation that $4.4 million of funds released
for the acquisition of environmental endanger-
ed lands be used to buy 16,171 acres in the
lower Apalachicola River flood plain was
deferred at the request of Agriculture Commis-
sioner Doyle Conner at the Tuesday meeting of
the Florida Cabinet. Conner said he wanted
more information about plans for acquiring
land farther up the river. \
The Department of Natural Resources
(DNR) has held meetings in Gulf County to
study the proposed buying of the lower
Apalachicola River flood plain. Gulf Countians
-hwe-expressed approval of the plan, providing
the area is not turned into a wildlife reserve
and will remain open to hunters and fishermen.


Taylor, the Sharks will have
very few players returning
from last year's squad which
lost only one game.
The Sharks didn't look too
impressive in the first spring
jamboree to be held in this
area.
Friday's jamboree teams
will consist of the five teams
in the Conference.
The Sharks will open up the
game with Marianna at 8:00
p.m., Port St. Joe time. The
Sharks will continue into the
second period against arch-
rival Chipley Tigers.
In the third period, it will
be Crestview and Marianna.
DeFuniak Springs will take
the field again in the fourth
period against Chipley. De-
Funiak Springs and Crest-
view will end the jamboree in
the fifth period.
Tickets are now on sale at
the Port St. Joe High School
office at $1.00 for students
and $2.00 for adults.
The West Coast Conference
is beginning its fourth year of
play. Of the past three years,
Port St. Joe has been con-
ference champions two times
and Chipley once.

On Drug

Counts
Three St. Joe Beach resi-
dents were arrested last Wed-
nesday, charged with illegal
possession of narcotics.
Vic Horton, age 19, Paul
Wormuth, 20 and Michael

marijuana plants growing in
their back yard.
. Investigation by Deputies
' T. White, Capt. Bob Now-

The Port St. Joe Lions Club
has planned another big
Associational horse show to
help finance its sight conser-
vation project. The show will
be Saturday, September 7,
beginning at 12:30 p.m., EDT
at the Lions Club Arena on
Hwy. 71 (northeast of Port St.
Joe).
Featuring 28 show classes,
the Lions will present five
trophies in each class plus a
Junior and Senior high point
trophy.
The concession stand will
begin serving at 11:30 a.m.
The Lions urge everyone to
use these facilities for their
dinner and-or supper ar-
rangements. Barbecue chic-
ken plates, hamburgers, hot
dogs, cold drinks and coffee
will be offered at reasonable
prices.
There will be an entry fee
of $2.00 per event.
If further information is
desired contact Ralph Rober-
son at 648-5185 or Rex Buzzett
at 227-5395.


The new fire station was
built with part of the City's
share of federal revenue
sharing funds and has been
equipped' to adequately pro-
vide all necessary facilities
for a full time fire depart-
ment should the City decide
in the future to employ a full
time department.
Charles Arthur Gaskin of
Wewahitchka is the architect
for the building and J. B.
Jinks Construction Company
was the builder.


voter apathy is anybody's
guess. Several hotly con-
tested local races will prob-
ably draw more than the
predicted 40 percent to the
polls in Gulf.
The voting polls will be
open state-wide from 7:00
A.M. to 7:00 P.M., local time.
In Gulf County, all pre-
cincts except one will use
voting machines. Only Over-
street, with about 60 voters;
will use paper ballots. The
Dalkeith precinct (Number 3)
has used paper ballots in the
past, but they are being
provided a voting machine
this year.

Gulf County will use the
following voting locations to
cast its ballots.

Here's Our Choice


of Candidates



who served on Governor Askew's
staff for several years. This isn't
a enough to convince us he would
make a good Secretary of State.


Next Tuesday is election day in
the-State of Florida and there have
been many warnings of a light
vote, due to apathy among the
citizens.
i We fail to see how any voter
can be apathetic in this day,
toward the selection of his govern-
~ment officials. After two years of
.-Watergate and an almost daily
Si-evelation of one public servant or
~another being caught in an indes-
cretion, it should make voters more
determined than ever to make an
intelligent choice at the polls Tues-
day.
We plan to cast our vote on
STuesday,. and ..we recommend the
Following .candidates to youi f;if
11your consideration.

ASKEW AGAIN
F". Our first "gut" reaction was to
:,ast our Gubernatorial vote for Ben
I-'1ll Griffin. We like what he says
She will do and he has considerable
- experience in state government.
While we dislike Governor As-
kew insulting our intelligence over
who will pay the Corporation taxes,
and we dislike his stand on busing
:aih:nd other matters, including con-
s ervation, we have to admit that on
ithe whole, he has done a good job
as governor of the fastest growing
State in the nation. We have to vote
Sfor a second term for the governor.
One has to admit he has man-
:aged state finances well. His ad-
Sministration has seen unprecedent-
ed state surpluses which weren't
squandered on frills or thrown into
Projects we didn't particularly
need. He was correct in dumping
Tom Adams as quickly as he did
After his actions in office became
highly suspect.
We won't be unhappy, though,
Sif Griffin gets the nod.

STONE FOR SENATOR


For U. S. Senator, we will vote
for Richard Stone. Of all those
,running, Stone has shown more
concern for Gulf County in the past
than any of the others. We have to
iook out for Gulf County first. Too,
:Stone has had a broader experience
:background in government than
ainy of the other candidates.
: We think we would not be hurt
as a state if several of the other
-candidates won including Mallory
Home, Congressman Bill Gunter
and Burton Young.
We will go for Stone, however.

S A VOTE FOR EXPERIENCE
S For Secretary of State, we're
going to go for Beverly Dozier,
Simply because she has had consid-
Serable experience in the office. We
hesitate to go for young Bruce
Smathers who seems to be cam-
Spaigning on the strength of his
i father's name. The others have had
Sno experience at all in government
with the exception of Don Pride


DICKINSON AGAIN
In the Comptroller contest, we
will go for Fred O. "Bud" Dickin-
son for re-election. An attempt has
been made in past months to tie
him in with illegal acts, but none
has been successful or even near to
convincing. We can't see where
Dickinson has done anything worth
denying him another term of office.
O'MALLEY OUR CHOICE
In the case of Thomas D.
O'Malley for State Treasurer,
again, we will go with the incum-
bent. O'Malley was another target
of an attempted smear, but even
his opponents could not make a
definite charge of any wrong doing.
~ feel that if there was anything
to the rumors, the opponents would
surely have dug it up.

TURLINGTON LOOKS GOOD
Ralph Turlington seems to
have done a good job in his short
tenure as Commissioner of Edu-
cation. We can see no advantage to
having a "school person" in the
job. As a matter of fact, we think
maybe Turlington's background as
a business man may serve the
state's school system better than a
person who has dealt in nothing but
schools could do.

NIX TO MAYO
The Florida Public Service
Commission is in a mess and we
can't vote for one who helped to
make that mess. We're speaking of
William T. Mayo. We hate to do it,
but our vote for Alcee T. Hastings
will be merely a vote against
Mayo. We may have to use the
same yardstick against Hastings
four years hence, if he is elected.
PAT IS OUR CHOICE
Pat Thomas will get our nod
for State Senator. This was a
difficult decision to make since this
race probably has the best men in
any race on the ballot. All three
seem to be fine young men with a
christian background and a con-
cern for the people in the district.
We know Thomas better, and
feel he will be more concerned for
the smaller counties because of his
small county background.
JUDICIAL SELECTIONS
In the Judicial races, we will
cast our ballot for Rivers Buford,
Ben F. Overton and Sam Spector
for Justices of the Supreme Court,
simply because we know their
performances in the past to be
sound and wise moves.
We'll vote for Wilson W. Wright
of Tallahassee for Judge of the
District Court of Appeals, again,
because we know more of him than
the others and know him to be a
man of thoughtful decisions based
on the law.

For local candidates, we will
cast our ballot for whom we please
and trust that you will do likewise.

Bob Bates

Speaks to

Rotary
Bob Bates, with the plan-
ning division of the North-
west Florida Development
Commission told fie Rotary
Club last Thurs that Gulf
County's PlannI Commis-
sion had drawn up a very
necessary document in a plan
for Gulf County.
Bates said the plan, which
shows probable growthlareas
and characteristics for the
county will be presented to
the County Board in the very
near future for their accept-
ance or rejection. Bates
showed some advance copies
of the report which uses
maps extensively in setting
out the growth pattern of
Gulf County.
Also included in the report
is detailed description of pos-
sible land use in the county.
The speaker stated that the
purpose of the plan is to put
down in writing the direction
the county wishes to go in the
way of growth for dwellings,
industry, farming, wood-
lands, etc. The plan points to
the Wewahitchka, Port St.
Joe and White City areas as
the major growth areas, with
the Beaches areas as second-
ary growth "nodes". This, of
course, is already the growth
pattern of the county and is
likely to be the pattern for
years to come unless some
unprecedented growth occurs
along the beach frontage in
the county. This was one of
the warnings Bates pointed
out in the report. "It will be
tragic if the beaches build up
into an area of 15-20,000 peo-
ple and then demand, by the
ballot, to be served with
sanitary services by the
county. This is the purpose of
the plan; to put the county in
a position of deciding how
these things will be done.
before they are needed,"
Bates said.
The land use portion of the
plan is necessary for'contin-
ued flood insurance, insured
housing loans, etc.
Of interest to many people
in Gulf County is the fact that
the report recommends the
relocation and 4-laning of U.
S. 98, North of the beaches-
and skirting around the City
of Port St. Joe.
Guest of the club was Da-
vid Bidwell of Wewahitchka.



Port .St.


Who can remember the magnificent sim-


In reporting on my appendix surgery last
week, I forgot to impart a very important piece
of information to you. It's something I learned
during my stay in the hospital that should
prove to be of inestimable value to you in days
to come.
I learned what the best feeling in the world
is.

Some people may argue with you or I as to
what this feeling is. Some think it is the feel of
the soft cheek of a woman or the soft cheek of a
baby, or a cool shower on a hot day, or a hot
shower on a cold day, or maybe a cool soft
breeze under a broad shade tree during the
middle of August. Some may claim that the
best feeling in the world is that feeling one gets
when he makes his last car payment or his last
house payment. Or the best feeling in the world
is when your last child graduates and goes to a
respectable job without having given you too
much trouble during his growing up years.
Your idea of the best feeling in the world may
even be different from this list. Mine is.
My little stay in the hospital taught me that
the best feeling in the world is the first time
one manages to expell a little wind, in a
discrete manner, of course, following that trip
to surgery and the waking up process. There is
just no feeling in the world to match that one.


Sam Griffin, Editor of the Post-
Searchlight in Bainbridge, Ga., had these
words to say recently in one of his columns ...
"There is a time and a place for every-
thing, not necessarily for order alone, but also
for effectiveness. There is a prime moment
when the peach reaches its absolute ripeness,
the peak beauty of an evening sunset and the
full splendor of an opening rose. There is also a
time of wonder and mystery in childhood, a

State's Representative


Port St. Joe's state slow
pitch softball champions
found themselves in pretty
fast company last week end,
when they entered the na-
tional championship tourna-
ment in Charlotte, N. C.,
along with 51 other top-flight
teams.
A champion from each of
the 50 states was there, plus
last year's champion, Pabst
Blue Ribbon, and the host
team of Charlotte. An esti-
mated 55,000 people saw the
games which were played
Friday through Monday. with
three games in progress at
all times.
Representing Florida was
the Raffield Fisheries team
from Port St. Joe, which had
copped the state title in Pen-
sacola the week before. The
team traveled to Charlotte by
chartered bus.
The Raffield team drew a
bye for the first round of
play and met a sharp Phillip
Morris team from West Vir-
ginia in their first trip to the
playing field. The Phillip
Morris team was number five


in the world last year, and
used their reputation and the
importance of the moment to
defeat the Raffield team 14-
12. This put the local team in
the losers bracket and made
it mandatory they win all
other games to stay in the
tournament.
Saturday, at 12:45, Raf-
field's took the field against
the Norfolk, Va.. Firefighters


and took a 13-9 victory.
Saturday night, Rhode Is-
land pricked the Raffield
bubble and sent them on their
way home with a 10-5 defeat.
The local squad wound up
placing 25th in a field of 52 in,
the nation.
Which wasn't bad for a
first time ever trip to the
national tournament.


Funeral Services Held Tuesday,

Funeral services for Mrs.
Annette H. Ellinburg, 62, of
St. Joe Beach, who died

pital, were held Tuesday at

eral Home Chapel in El
Dorado, Arkansas. Interment
was in the Rest Haven Ceme-
tery.

E. Helms, both of El Dorado,
Ark.; two brothers, Ray

Dear Wesley,
See someone does read
your paper! In fact the Hel-
len family reads every word
from the classified section to
the grocery ads just to have
some news from "home."
So sorry to hear about your
recent hospital trip. Hope you
used it to catch up on some
much needed rest which I am
sure you could use, being a
fellow newspaper man.
I have been working in the
newspaper business for five
years now and dearly love it.
Roy has been with Philco-
Ford at the Manned Space
Craft Center for the past
eight years. We all love this
area, we are only 19 miles
from Galveston, so we get a
taste of that old salt air that
reminds us of home.
We are real excited over
the celebration coming up


next year and have already
made vacation plans to be a
part of it. Can you suggest
any way I could get a class
re-union going by long dis-
tance. We will celebrate our
20th year out of school next
year and I sure would like to
see some of the class of '55 at
the celebration. Is Long Ave-
nue Baptist Church planning
any kind of special re-union
for church members next
year? If so keep up the good
work of keeping us long dis-
tance readers advised as to
what is going to take place.
The one thing I miss about
your paper is a good old
fashion "Gossip Column" to
keep us informed as to what
is really going on in Port St.
Joe.
Take care and get well
soon.

. And Now Skirts For Men!


It was bound to happen. A
New York designer has come
up with a plan to have men
wear skirts? Really.
It's not as far fetched as
you might think at first. We
men have let the women
wear pants, cut their hair
short and have let them take
over many of the jobs which
were once for men only. So,
why shouldn't they give us
something?
The younger generation
has already adopted one
formerly alt-girl style -
long hair.
Whether you like the idea
of skirts or not, men, this
should provide food for
thought. Men have for far too
long been slaves to tradition
when it comes to:dress.
Women, let's face it, are
smarter than men. They
wear long-sleeved wool
dresses in summer, But we
men continue to wear the
same, old thing, year in and
year out, coat and tie.
The women change with
the season, with any\ little
whim or suggestion, iif it
suits their purpose or to
keep up with someone Ie's
whim. They have lried
from long to short shirts,
tight pants and loose pants,
balloon dresses and tight
dresses, form fitting dresses
and tight dresses, fdrm
fitting dresses and tents {(or
shifts, as they call them).
But the pooor, ole ihen
continue to wear their qvoat
/


and tie. They did make one
change not too many years
ago when they switched from
double-breasted to single-
breasted coats and now
that's changed back.
If it takes skirts to start a
revolution in mens' styles,
I'm ready for skirts. In faj.t
it might be kind of fun.
Of course, there'll be some
problems. Where, for in-
stance, will we carry our
keys and credit cards? (Or,
do you suppose they'll also
come up with a manly
looking purse for men to
carry?)
And what about those
knock-knees, bow legs and
piano legs that men can now
conveniently hide with long
pants? And how will the big
executives be able to put
their feet on the desk white
they're dictating?
Some men wo ld have -o
have suspender buttons on
their skirts. Others would
want a hem in them so they'd
have some place to put their
cigarette ashes at a cocktail
party.
On second thought, men,
let's put up a fight on this
one. I'd like to get rid of
neckties and coats, but skirts
may be going a little too far.
And long pants can't be too
bad. After all, if there wasn't
something good about them,
the women wouldn't have
taken them over like they
did.

plicity of a ketchup and butter sandwich, of a
glass of "sweetnin' water"? Have you thought
of these things with an adult palate?, Better
yet, have you ventured so far as to try these
delicacies again?
What happens to the flavor of a ketchup
and butter on bread when a person grows up?
What changes it from a rare treat ,on a
Saturday morning to a most repugnant fare?
What happens to the combination of cane
-syrup and water mixed tb taste between the
age of four and the age of forty? How does this
indescribable flavor change from that of a
sweet nectar into a potion of nauseous, cloying
viscosity?
The ingredients do not change; therefore,
the difference must be in the mouth of the
beholder. The magic comes with the person
and departs with childhood. So many things
lose their bloom when reason and "comn,,
sense" take command."

A paper salesman brought me this little
story in the other day. I think you'll like it.
There were these three old ladies who
decided it would be a lark to "streak" through
the recreation room at the nursing home. They
shuffled swiftly past a group of old men
engrossed in a checker game, and in their
wake, one asked, "What in the world was
that?"
"I believe it was three ladies," a second
replied.
"What were they doing?" the first asked.
"Running, I believe," his companion
replied.
"What did they have on?" another asked.
"I don't know," the second old gentleman
pondered, "but whatever it was, it sure did
need ironing."

I sure hope you enjoyed your Labor Day
holiday, because that's the last holiday you're
going to get til Thanksgiving, which is nearly
three months away.

Joy Clubs, Inc. has announ-
ced that it is ready to begin a
new year of ministry with the
children of the area, with
clubs to begin meeting next
week. For the past eight
years, this non-denomination-

seven different clubs have
been organized so far.
Joy Clubs, with the motto,
"Jesus, Others and You," are
provided as opportunities for

meet together and enjoy
Bible stories and Bible verse
memorization as well as par-
ticipate in singing and con-
tests. The children are given


an opportunity to learn a cer-
tain number of verses, and
by doing so become eligible
for different awards, the final
goal being a free week at
Bible camp during the sum-
mer.
Each club meets in a home
and is conducted by a teacher
and a co-worker. This year
the seven clubs will meet in
the homes of the following
ladies, and at the times

MRS. PATTY GIBSON
"Mrs. Methodist Woman"
On a recent Sunday morn-
ing in late July, a beautiful
soul took its flight. The gates
of Heaven opened wide to re-
ceive her, and loving arms,
were held out in welcome.
Today there's a fresh new
voice in Heaven's Choir, and
Joy peals out with each new
note of her favorite hymn,
"Still, Still With Thee".
Our lovely Patty, Mrs. B.
Roy Gibson, Sr., has left a
void in the lives of many,
many people. She will long be
remembered-and missed-
not only in Port St. Joe and
Gulf County, but in other
areas of Florida and Georgia
as well. So gentle was she-
so sweet, so kind, so patient,
so understanding, so compas-
sionate, she continues to hold
a special place in the hearts
of Methodist people.
When the Gibsons moved to
Port St. Joe more than 50
years ago, they immediately
became affiliated with the
church, and soon Miss Patty
was teaching a group of
lively Juniors in the Sunday
School, and she continued to
teach for a number of years.
As time went on, she served
on various church commit-
tees, helping wherever she
was needed, ever an inspira-
tion to old and young alike.
Her lovely solo voice added
much to the chancel choir for
45 years, until she became ill
sometime ago. She became
one of the most active mem-
bers of the early Woman's
Missionary Society and con-
tinued in the women's work
through all the name
changes, including today's
"United Methodist Women",
holding most of the offices at
one time or another, teaching
Bible studies, conducting
Mission Studies, and other
study courses, and training
younger women in the work.
She served several terms
as president, and 15 years
as Communion Steward. She
was one of the first of the
Methodist Women to be pre-
sented with a Life Member-
ship in the organization, the
highest service award.
Miss Patty was well known
to school people, having
served in the public school
system as a regular teacher
for a number of years and
later as a substitute when
needed. She was also active
in PTA, and at the time of
her death, July 28 of this
year, was still a member of
the Order of Eastern Star, of
which she was a past Worthy
Matron. In earlier years, she
served the community thru
the Woman's Club and the
early Gulf County Historical
Society.
As a parent, a teacher, a
community worker, a Chris-
tian leader, a friend, our
beloved Patty was a true
Guiding Light. We miss her

"Couples Clubs"

Being Organized


Several couples from the
First United Methodist
Church met Thursday even-
ing, August 29 with Dr. and
Mrs. Thomas Gibson in their
home on Constitution Drive
,for the purpose of discussing
plans for organizing "Cou-
ples' Clubs" among the mem-
bership.
After a moving prayer by
Rev. Johnie McCurdy, Mrs.
Gibson explained to the group
the idea behind this move-to


foster Christian fellowship
among the adult members of
the church-and expressed
the hope that a number of
groups might be formed with'
five or six couples in each
one. She explained further
that each group would be a
separate unit, having its own
officers, setting its own date,
and formulating its own plans
for a once-a-month supper
meeting and entertainment.
It was suggested that at the
end of six months or a year
the groups be reshuffled to
allow for more extensive re-
lationships, and that once a
year all groups meet together
for a special occasion.
Reverend McCurdy offered
to send out a newsletter on
the September 4 explaining
the project and announcing a
general meeting in the Re-
creation Hall of the church,
Friday, September 13, at 7:30
p.m. Plans were made by the
group for this meeting.
The Gibsons served re-
freshments and provided en-
tertainment for their guests,
Reverend and Mrs. Johnie
McCurdy, Mr. and Mrs. Ed-
win Ramsey, Mr. and Mrs.
Hubert Brinson and Mr. and
Mrs. Ralph Swatts, Sr.


tive clown decorated in red
and yellow. The table was
covered with a lovely birth-
day cloth and the guests were
given party hats. Chris re-
ceived some very nice gifts.
Those helping to celebrate
the occasion were: Richard
and Stephen Coffey, Bill
Ramsey, Mrs. Wesley Ram-
sey, Mr. and Mrs. Tommy
Oliver, Mrs. Nell Smith, Mr.
and Mrs. Wesley R. Ramsey,
Sr., Cintel Rudd, Catherine
Ramsey, Mr. and Mrs. Rick

COMMENTS ON THE OUTDOORS

Dr. O. E. Frye, Jr.

'v *


TALLAHASSEE-Pollu-
tion, dredging and filling,
channelization and eutrophi-
cation are commonly di-
agnosed ills afflicting many of
the fresh water lakes and
streams in Florida. A lesser
known problem, but one that
can be particularly trying to
those of us in the business of
trying to manage your wild-
life natural resources is
aquatic weeds.
Aquatic plants are general-
ly beneficial and often essen-
tial to the maintenance of a
quality aquatic environment.
Through a complicated pro-
cess called photosynthesis,
plants perform a vital func-
tion in our environment.
In this process carbon di-
oxide is taken up by the
Plants and oxygen is'given
off. Oxygen and food, of
course, are the basic require-
ments for all animal life.
Plants serve admirably in
both respects and are there-
fore considered to be primary
producers in the aquatic as
well as terresterial environ-
ments.


County is shown receiving an insurance
award from John Minshew, awards chair-
man of the Panama City Life Underwriter's
Association.


other waterways (i.e. fishing,
boating, irrigation, aesthetic
and other values).
Further complications are
often caused by the introduc-
tion of aquatic plants from
other locations. Many times
these plants find their new
environment free of natural
enemies or control agents and
rampant growth is often the
result.
The objective in dealing
with aquatic weed problems
should not be to eliminate
the plants but to maintain
them at a level commensurate
with usage of the waterways.
The problem is not simple,
nor did it occur overnight and
solutions or methods of deal-
ing with the problem are not
going to be simple or im-
mediate. Very often control
methods are, by necessity,
directed toward treating
symptoms. While this is im-
portant we should also strive
to become aware of causes


Not only do plants make
available the basic require-
ments for animal life, but
they produce other benefits:
(1) Most plants provide
habitat for fish and other
aquatic organisms produced
in the environment. (2) They
also tie up nutrients and pol-
lutants that enter the aquatic
environment and thereby aid
in keeping water quality at a
high level.
In review of these benefits,
it would seem that plant like
could be nothing but helpful.
However, this is not always
the case..
Due to its geographical lo-
cation, Florida is blessed with
an abundance of sunshine and
temperatures that are con-
ducive to rapid plant growth.
Most water bodies inlFlorida
are also shallow and, natural-
ly or unnaturally nutrient
rich, conditions also helpful
to plant growth.
Given these circumstances,
plants often grow to such an
extent that they become
weeds by interfering with the
primary usage of lakes and


This year, as in the past,
Joy Clubs, Inc. will sponsor
Bible clubs for the teenagers
in the area. These clubs are
designed to give young people
an opportunity to study God's
word in relation to their lives.
This year the club for Jun-
ior High girls, grades seven
through nine, will meet in the
home of Mrs. Linda Wood,
1310 Garrison Avenue on
Tuesday at 3:00 p.m. Mrs.
Wood will be assisted by Mrs.
Pam Puckett.
As yet there is no club
organized for Junior High
boys. However, should
anyone be interested in one
being started, they should
call Mrs. Dawn Ford at 229-
2206 or Mrs. Jean Lamberson

and methods of dealing with
the basic problem sources.
Methods of dealing with
aquatic weed control general-
ly fall under four categories.
They include mechanical,
chemical, biological, and en-
vironmental munipulations.
Mother nature makes use
of all of these methods in
maintaining an ecologically
balanced system. Ideally a
good aquatic weed control
program would make use of
all of these tools using each
one as its advantages and dis-
advantages warrant, depend-
ing on the type of nuisance
plant and the body of water
effected.
The Commission now has
in each region an aquatic
botanist whose primary
duties are to promote aquatic
weed control programs that
are safe to people, fish, wild-
life and other natural re-
sources and to prevent the
misuse of any of the above
methods.
Obviously, dealing with
Florida's environmental
problems involves more than
checking hunting and fishing
licenses.

Those Who Have Cared Before!


Rep. Pat Thomas Year's

Top Downhome Legislator


Rep. Pat Thomas, D- an
Quincy, is this column's fo
choice for Downhome Legis- ol
lator of the Year, the man cc
who accomplished the most w
in the last session for the rur- al
al and small town folk of the E
Big Bend area of Florida.
The redhead from Gads- il
den County rates the award i
for his quick mastery in his
brief stint in the Florida I
House of the invaluable poli- 9
tical arts of compromise and
persuasion. That's a polite
way of saying by logic, s
threat, friendship and cooper:
ation he got a majority of his
colleagues in the House and
Senate to vote legislation his
people wanted and needed.
* The police school at Mid-
way was only one of Thomas
successes. His "water toting"
bill, the results of a survey he
made last summer, calls for
federal and state funds to
provide adequate water and
sewer services in rural areas
where a surprising number of
folk still carry water from the
creek for household use.
"I caught typhoid fever
from contaminated drinking
water when I was 12 years
old," Thomas said.
The bill which was passed
provides a $500,000 state ap-
propriation to match federal
funds to drill deep wells for


estimated 10,000 rural
,lk within a 100-mile radius
f Tallahassee. Rural electric
cooperatives will drill the
ells and install the pumps
nd pipes under the National
Demonstration Water Project.
Thomas was also effective
n committee, helping to pass
legislation tightening controls
on state agencies who he said
have become a "phantom
government." He also was in-
strumental in killing a bill
that would have required
small boat owners to be li-
censed.
He has used his past con-
nections as State Cnairman of
the Democratic Executive
Committee well since his elec-
tion to the House in 1972.
He has also stood up with
other small county legislators
on unpopular bills, not in the
Democratic leadership's game
plan, that small town and
rural residents favor.
He was a co-signer of Rep.
Wayne Mixson's seven mill
cap on school taxes, which
lost to Gov. Askew's eight
mill cap, and signed Rep.
Billy Joe Rish's bill which
would have required a vote of
the pepole on any future pay
raises for legislators. He also
aided Rep. Leon McDonald in
debate on his successful ef-
fort to pass the financial dis-
closure bill.

Exhibit for


Phi latelists


Port St. Joe area residents
are cordially invited to attend
the second annual PANPEX,
Panama Philatelic Exhibit,
to be held September 7-8 at
the American Legion Hall,
East Highway 98.
The exhibit is being shown
by the Bay County Stamp
Club, which meets every
second and fourth Wednesday
at Tom Haney Vocational
School, Lynn Haven at 7:30
p.m., and is happy to have
guests at any meeting.
If you are not a stamp col-
lector, you may think this
isn't very interesting-but
come on out and have a look
at the beautiful exhibits of
stamps, and the colorful
wares of the dealers who will
be present.
Did you know that stamp
collecting is the largest hob-
by in the world, people-wise?
It has a fascination for young
and old, is the hobby of kings
and cabbage growers, engi-
neers and educators, preach-
ers, poets and pilots, house-
wives and hotel owners,
cooks and cabdrivers, artists,
actors and acrobats--hilate-
ly knows no age limit and no
other limit either.
But however you do it,
whatever you choose, it's fas-
cinating. Come out to PanPex
and see for yourself.

The first oil well drilled on
a $212-million offshore tract
in the Gulf of Mexico off the
coast between Port St. Joe
and Panama City, was a dry
one, officials of the Exxon
Co., U.S.A. said Saturday.
The officials said the com-
pany plans immediate dril-
ling of a second well several
miles to the north on another
tract.
Exxon, Mobile Oil Co., and
Champlin Petroleum Co., a
subsidiary of Union Pacific
Corp., drilled the well 40
miles southwest of Panama
City on a tract from the
federal government.


They paid the government
$212 million in bonus money
for the tract.
Exxon said the well was
drilled to a depth of 10.930
feet before it was plugged
and abandoned after only
slight traces of oil and nat-
ural gas were found.
The company said it plans
additional wells in six tracts
in the same area they leased
in the 1973 sale.

The Federal Reserve Board
has approved the acquisition
of Merit Finance Corp. of
Mobile, Ala., by the First
National Holding Corp. of At-
lanta.
Merit Finance operates a
branch office at 326 Reid
Avenue in Port St. Joe, spe-
cializing in consumer and
real estate loans. Jimmy
Yawn is manager.
The application to acquire
Merit Finance, the Domestic
loan operation of Walter E.
Heller and Co., was made
through Dixie Finance Co.,
Inc., the consumer finance
subsidiary of First National
Holding- Corp. First National


Bank of Atlanta is the bank
ing subsidiary of First Nal
tional Holding Corp.
E. C. A. Forsberg, presi-
dent of Dixie Finance, said
the acquisition adds 56 offices
in seven states with outstand-
ings of $26 million.
The acquisition will expand
the Dixie Finance and affili-
ated Gulf Finance Corp. con-
sumer loan operations to 187
offices and total outstanding
to $82 million, Forsberg said.
First National Holding
Corp. consumer loan opera-
tions are extended into three
new states-Oklahoma, Ten-
nessee and Indiana by the ac-
quisition.


They were apprehended, dri-
ving a pick up truck with the
oats, by Florida Marine Pa-
trol officer Louis Livings and
Gulf County Deputy Sheriff
Tom Berlinger. A telephone
call from Gunn to Berlinger
alerted law enforcement offi-
cers to the trio's illegal har-
vesting of the sea oats.
They were freed from Gulf
County jail after posting a
$500.00 bond each.

Library

Schedule

Changed

The new bookmobile sche-
dule for Gulf County will see
the vehicle making its stops
at the same times but on
Tuesday, rather than Mon-
day.
The, Northwest Regional
Library System's bookmobile
stops every Tuesday at Gov-
ernor' Motel at Mexico Beach
from 9:30 10:30 CST, and
makes the rest of'its stops on
an alternating week basis.
Every other Tuesday, start-
ing September 3, the route
will be as follows:
Overstreet, (Hardy's Gro-
cery), 11:45 12:15 EST; St.
Joe Beach (Beach Grocery),
12:30 1:00 EST; Indian
Pass (McNeill's Grocery),
1:30 2:15 EST; Howard
Creek (Hwy 387), 2:45 3:45
EST and White City (Staf-
ford's Grocery) 4:10 5:10
EST.
Every other Tuesday, be-
ginning September 10, the
route will be as follows:
White City (Stafford's Gro-
cery), 12:00 1:00 EST;
Kinard (Old school & post
office) 12:45 1:45 CST;
Davis Point (Allenton), 3:00 -
3:30 CST and Cook's Bayou
(at bridge), 3:45 4:15 CST.


with recent funding by the
legislature, the Gulf County
School Board is able to offer
such a program, locally, for
the first time this year.
At the present time, Sara
Fite, the itinerant teacher
for this program, is screening
the list of students initially
nominated by the classroom
teachers last spring. The next
step will be further evalua-
tion by the Gulf County Gui-
dance Clinic for those stu-
dents not having necessary
standardized test scores with-
in the past two years. Final
recommendation will be
made by a local professional
staffing committee. Parents
will be notified and place-
ment will be subject to their
approval.
When implementation of
the program actually gets
under way, near the end' of
September, Mrs. Fite will be
spending time in each school
in the county, working indivi-
dually with identified stu-
dents on the average of two
hours a week. She will be
providing enrichment in ad-
vanced learning skills beyond
that available in' the tradi-
tional school program
through independent study
and experimentation in the
student's areas of interest, all
with the idea of stimulating
each student to display gifted
potentials and exceptional
abilities.

The common garden chry-t
santhemums, popularly cal-
led "mums" belong to a
large i'group of annual and
perennial herbs in the plant
family called Composite. The
cold-hardy, cultivated varie-
ties are used extensively as
garden and patio flowers: for
fall color.
The wide color range and
type and size of flowers tend
to increase the popularity of
this fine garden subject
especially noted for its excel-
lent show of color in Septem-
ber and October.
Flowering of mums can be
controlled by manipulating
day length, but most home
gardeners allow their plants
to flower in the normal fall
season. Controlled flower pro-
duction at other seasons is
best left to commercial cut
flower producers.
Chrysanthemums will grow
in any well-drained soil that
contains an abundance of
organic matter. If the soil is
very sandy, a three.to four
inch layer of peat or other
organic material should be
worked into the flower bed to
a six inch depth.
Mums are grown from cut-
tings or division of old parent
clumps. Rooted cuttings are
usually available from local
garden stores. Space the
plants a foot apart for a mass
effect or two feet apart to
emphasize individual plants.
After the plants are esta-
blished and at least six
inches tall break off the top
one or two inches of the stem.
This will encourage lateral
branching and produce lower,


bushier plants.
Two to three applications of
a 6-6-6 fertilizer at the rate of
one pound per. 100 square feet
during the growing season is
sufficient to grow a good crop
of flowers. When applying
fertilizers, keep the material
off the leaves. Water thor-
oughly to distribute the fer-
tilizer throughout the root
area.
Chrysanthemums may need
to be supported unless the
plants are the low, strong
growing types. Tall, weak
stemmed plants definitely
need some form of staking. If
a wooden stake is used, drive
it into the ground at planting
time. Staking after the plants
are established can cause
injuries to the roots.
By careful choice of vari-
eties, flowers of many types
and colors can be produced
from September until Christ-
mas, although an early frost
will injure some young buds
and thus reduce flowering.
So color it with Florida
mums!
