The only accident reported over the week end in Gulf ._gnnVhtywasia.slight accident_ . at Indian-Pass, where a car skidded into a ditch. One area accident occurred at Mexico Beach when a car and motorcycle were involv- ed in a collision According to Mexico Beach Police Chief, Bill Thornton, iMilan James Kruse, station- ed at McDill AFB received multiple. fractures of the right leg when his motorcycle crashed into the rear of a car driven by Scott Larson Mob- ley of Thomasville, Ga. According to Chief Thorn- ton, Mobley was following a, vehicle on Highway 98 on a rain slick road when the car in front stopped. Kruse was following Mobley and could not stop in time, crashing 'fhto the rear of the Mobley vehicle.. Kruse was taken to Port St. Joe Municipal Hospital by Gulf County ambulance and was later transferred to Tyn- dall AFB hospital. FIVE RUNS Gulf County ambulance ,Port St. Joe's Sharks enter the West Coast Conference totball jamboree in DeFun- iak Springs tomorrow night 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. City Dedicating New Fire Station Monday at Open House The City of Port St. Joe will dedicate its new $75,000 fire station Monday afternoon, with an open house and re- ception for the general pub- lic. The City Commission and the Volunteer Fire Depart- ment will be hosts for the event and provide tours of the new building, showing off all its modern facilities. The reception and open house will begin at '6:0 p.m. Jaycees do their part to promote safe driving in the season's first test of what is ahead for the Sharks this season. According to coach Wayne 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. Lions Fall Horse Show Set Saturda Arrested 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 McFall, age 21, were arrest- ed after information was re- ceived that the group had marijuana plants growing in their back yard. . Investigation by Deputies ' T. White, Capt. Bob Now- ell and Trooper Ken Murphy of the Florida Highway Pat- rol uncovered the cache late Wednesday afternoon. A subsequent search of the suspects' house trailer un- coveried a quantity of narco-- tic paraphernalia and a num- ber of suspected THC tablets. All three are presently in the Gulf County jail under $2,000 bond. 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. VOTING PLACES Gulf County will use the following voting locations to cast its ballots. Precinct 1 (Wewahitchka, East of Highway 71) Wewa- hitchka City Hall. Precinct 2 (Wewahitchka west of Highway 71) White building, located behind the dentist's office. Precinct 3, Honeyville, in the Crutchfield Building on Highway 71.

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. ,PAGE TWO 't~! ,i "-' .. . 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 Joe Team Is Green'N l- J. .--<*-S-" ^ '~~ K. 'I --<. 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, for Mrs. Annette H. Ellinburg Funeral services for Mrs. Annette H. Ellinburg, 62, of St. Joe Beach, who died Friday in the Municipal Hos- pital, were held Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. in the Bailey Fun- eral Home Chapel in El Dorado, Arkansas. Interment was in the Rest Haven Ceme- tery. Mrs. Elliniburg was a native of Arkansas, and had been a resident of this area for the past six years. She is survived by her hus- band, A'lbray J. Ellinburg of St. Joe Beach; a daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Ann Arron and her mother, Mrs. Annie E. Helms, both of El Dorado, Ark.; two brothers, Ray Helms of El Dorado and Roy Helms of Norphelete, Ark.; and two sisters, Mrs. Racheal Harris and Mrs. Mary Elliott, both of El Dorado, Ark. St. Clair Funeral Home was in charge of all local arrangements.

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. Carolyn and Roy Hellen League City, Texas . 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.

RAMSEY ''-I ' *, I~ I -- 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."

For the past eight years, this non-denomination- al, Bible oriented ministry with children and young peo- ple has organized "Joy Clubs" in Port St. Joe and the outlying areas. This year seven different clubs have been organized so far. Joy Clubs, with the motto, "Jesus, Others and You," are provided as opportunities for elementary school-aged chil- dren (grades one to six) to meet together and enjoy Bible stories and Bible verse memorization as well as par- ticipate in singing and con- tests.

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 A NOTE FROM ROBERT M.

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.

E. Frye, Jr. r' Director GAME AND FRESH WATER FISH COMMISSION '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. Who cares about our small counties? 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. oanocrat -Sun., June 30, 1974 Down Home By Jack Harper Pat Thomas . a. all star PAT THOMAS Puts You First! lease vote fr PAT THOMAS-Democrat Senate District 4. _Please vote for lPAT THPd.

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 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.

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. Say You Saw It In The Star! 0 I I .- ... - 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. Livings was assisted in his arrest by the Gulf County Sheriff's office and officers from the St. Joseph State Park. The oats will be sold by the Marine Patrol after re- ceiving three sealed bids.

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.

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! KEEP Justice Ben F. OVERTON on the Florida SUPREME COURT Vote Sept. 10 Pd. Political Advtg. Pd. for by Ben F.
