THIRTY-EIGHTH YEAR, NUMBER 7 Industry Deep Water Port Fine People- Safest Beaches in Florida PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1974 Citizens Voice Objection to Budget The Gulf County Commission adopted its $2,309,793.73 budget last Thursday night, but not before a chorus of objections were heard concerning the amount of money being spent during the coming fiscal year. George G. Tapper, who did most of the talking, noted that assessments of property in the County had risen by as much'as "200, 300, 400 ... up to 500 percent"- and he was concerned with the $181,000 increase in the budget-over last year. Tapper was informed that local taxes had actually been reduced *but Tapper came right back with, "all money you spend is tax money. We're talking about total dollars spent here. We tax payers have to provide-every penny regardless of whether it is local money, federal or state." Tapper was concerned that the budget continued to climb year after year. "Gulf County's budget has gone up $847,955 in the past two years. That's a lot of money considering the State of Florida has taken over some of the expenses paid for by the Board just a couple of years ago." Clerk of the Court George Y. Core said .some of the increase is only a book figure. "We have $238,678.83 in federal revenue -funds which we haven't spent which. shows. up in that budget, plus a: considerable-cash carry-overt" Core later, pointed out that it was a fortunate thing the County had the excessive cash carryover, since failure to receive property assessments on time would delay income from the tax rolls consider- ably in the new fiscal year and the County 'would have to operate off the,cash on hand. Dr. Robert King suggested the County follow President Ford's advice and reduce the over-all budget then live within the limits-set. Dr. King suggested a 10 percent Tax Payers Meeting Called A meeting of interested citizens and tax payers will be held next Thursday night,. October,24 in the Port St. Joe High School to study Gulf County's tax program. The meeting will begin at 7:00 p.m. SAccording to the organizers of the gathering, every property owner and tax payer is invited and encouraged to attend. It is expected the program will consist of discussion concerning the recent property assessment increases and the various tax supported budgets in the County. reduction with each department cutting back where it could to affect the reduction. E. F. Gunn and Silas R. Stone were the only ones to question a specific portion of the budget and asked questions concerning Civil Defense and its budget of $19,000. CD director Richard Lancaster was present at the meeting and explained that half of the budget was furnished by the State of Florida. "The county is instructed by the state to have a Civil Defense organization", Lancaster said. He pointed out the service operates with a corps of 80 volunteers who give their time and the use of their equipment. Commissioner Walter Graham told the citizens present that the Board had reduced every budget request but one in the prepara- tion of the fiscal 1975 spending guide. "That one budget, the Mosquito Control budget, reduced his own spending". City Officially Adopts Millage Rate of 55 for Fiscal 1975 The City of: Port St. Joe officially adopted 5.5 mills as the taxing rate for the fiscal 1975 budget Tuesday night, even though they aon't know just how much money a mill will yield.: The. City has de- layed setting the millage un- til.a property valuation roll is finalized. The mill levy was two mills lower than last year and is expected to yield about $20,000 more due, to improvements to taxable property' during the past year. A Spring-like Fall The cool balmy weather these past few days have encouraged the butterflies and Attorney William J: Rish advised the Board they did not need to advertise their .tax income increase since the increase was more. than off- set by property :improve- ments. SUIT DROPPED bees to visit blooming flowers regularly, making one think it could possibly be spring here in the Panhandle. But the falling pinecones, bottom photo, is enough to convince a yard owner that fall is here and is making the point known Star photos Attorney William J. Rish informed the Commission Tuesday night that a suit filed against the Municipal hospital had been dropped. Rish said the evidence stated' in the suit was not sufficient to take the case to court. The 'Hospital had been named as a co-defendant in a suit brought by Mr. and Mrs. .Glenn Davis over the death of their baby at birth over a year ago. INVESTIGATE WELLS ... q_ Vo,.. o^.ls.i g_ .4 reed, Tuesday night to investigate the possibility of using old St. Joe Paper Compan3 water wells in the operation of the Waste Water Treatment plant. The wells !being in- vestigated were shut down by the mill several years ago when they dug the water canal. Considerable fresh wa- ter is needed in the waste treatment operation. CATCHING DOGS The Board was questioned concerning the position of the City in catching dogs on private, property. Commis- sioner Sullivan said they had a case of someone calling the City to come get a dog which was behind a fence in a yard. The problem was that the. property owner wasn't the. one who called and the dog catcher didn't know this fact: and took the dog. Attorney Rish said the dog' catcher could get a dog on private. property 'with per- mission of the owner, but could not trespass. OTHER ITEMS The Commission made pay- ment of $300 to the Chamber of Commerce for advertising the Port St. Joe area. Clerk Brock said the quar- terly federal revenue sharing payment was $27,206.00; $4,- 448.00 less than the same quarterly payment last year. The Commission agreed to purchase 19 new Christmas decoration pieces at a cost of $1,030. The Board sent a resolution to the Gulf County Commis- sion requesting streets in Hol- ly Hill Cemetery be paved. 50 File Petitions of Objection About 50 Gulf County pro- perty owners have filed peti- tions for a, hearing on valua- tions placed against their property for-taxing purposes, according to Mrs. Joyce Price who is operating the office during the illness of Assessor Samuel A. Patrick. Mrs. Price said the dead- line for.filing the hearing petitions was Tuesday and she received the last com- plaint Tuesday evening about 6:00 p.m. The property valuation 'rolls are on their way. to Tallahassee today for appro- val by the State Revenue Department. After this pro- cedure s date will be set for the hearings to begin on filed objections. Juveniles Charged In Three Local Crimes Sheriff Raymond Lawrence and Chief of Police "Buck" * Griffin, in a joint release, *lave reported the arrest of two juveniles this past week, which has cleared many un, solved felony cases commit- ted here and elsewhere. They stated that the arrest *of the two suspects has: '-recovered two stolen automobiles, including one : .tolen during a break-in at St. Joe Motors; --recovered property stolen from a break-in of Top Dol- lar 'Store last week which netted the thieves a "pile" of clothes; -recovered property stolen from Western Auto here in Port St. Joe, including many guns and a few cameras; -recovered property stolen during a break-in in Taylor Two persons made off with a tray containing approximately $3,- 000 worth of diamond rings from Thames Jewelry Tuesday after- noon, according to Port St. Joe Police patrolman Howard Rogers. Rogers said he received the. call to the store about 3:55 and was only a half block away when the call came to him. The pair had just left the business when Rogers arrived' according to the clerk, " Miss Debbie McKiernan. Rogers said Miss McKiernan told him the pair, a black man and woman, came in the store and began to look at rings. The man diverted her attention to the rear of Top Dollar Manager, Mrs. Vi Harrison. shows where door was broken open County; including rifles, a pistol and a camera. One of the juveniles, whose name must be withheld be- cause of his age, was an es- capee from the Criswell House, a half-way house..for juvenile offenders in Talla- hassee. Both youths were turned over to the Division of Youth Services. the show room while the Woman remained toward the front. Miss McKiernan said she heard a noise and glanced toward the front to see the woman drawing her hand back from the diamond case. She had knocked over a display card on top of the case. Miss McKiernan was then sus- picious and watched both carefully until they left the business. Mrs. Hulean Thames then came into the display room and both discovered the card of rings were gone. They called police immediately and the Sheriff's Department was notified. Within 30 minutes the theft had been placed on the state-wide littering problem on their school campus. Class Fights Litter They have provided a bin for old cans to be placed in for the recycling plant. Already Port St. Joe Elementary School's sixth the bin has several cans inside and is grade is doing something positive about the getting more full every day.

Rogers said he was parked 'on Third Street at the time of the call discussing a problem with Street Superintendent Dorton .Hadden, facing the Reid Avenue intersection and that he didn't notice- anybody coming from the store in a hurry. Mrs. Thames said the card of rings contained 12 bridal sets. Miss McKiernan said she had never seen the pair before and believed they were from out of town. Police believe the theft was accomplished by professionals. At press time yesterday no leads had turned up on the pair. Library Hosting Workshop The Northwest Regional.

Freedom Conceived If America was born in 1776, it Swas conceived sometime between September 1 and October 26, 1774, at the First Continental Congress in SPhiladelphia. It was here, in Car- a center's Hall, that the colonial fathers came to the agreement to Work -together, and fight if neces- sary, in united opposition to the tyranny of King George and Gen- eral Gage. Not that all of the great ideas which sprang from the Convention .were entirely new. The tide of rebellion had been swelling for a long time. The Stamp Act had been a bone of contention since 1665. British tea had been dumped into Boston harbor by the "Indians" in 1773. The slogan, "United we con- quer, divided we die" had been a watchword for more than six years; now it was simply updated S to:- "United we stand, divided we -fall". S They were all there; Patrick Henry, Peyton Randolph (who was elected President), Sam Adams -and his younger cousin, John: George Washington, and from New Hampshire, John Sullivan, who Sco~ld not have imagined then that Sli6was to be a major general under 'Washington in a bitter revolution- ary war; Samuel Ward of Rhode I$Iand, John Jay of New York, and Shristopher Gadsden of South Caro- lijma great men, all. .. Not that the Congress was easy sailing. Many grave problems had to be faced for the first time in history. There was debate over the matter of "one man, one vote." The issue was decided when Pat- rick Henry declared: "The distinc- lilt a catc is th irnin ssibl well fror )body ever ng to ildin nsaft nhea e fas e ca n an ghbor hts o own. ver going stat hire thei probe g th to thi ossibl tions between Virginians, Pennsy vanians, New Yorkers and NeA Englanders are no more. I am no a Virginian, but an American." I was one colony, one vote. Nor was it at tall easy for th delegates to turn against the mo their country, no matter how grief vous the provocations. Each step i that direction was taken reluctant ly, and not without agony of hear and conscience. -'The meeting dragged on, the debates were long Impetuous John Adams complain that the delegates were fearfulu timid, skittish .one-third Tory one-third Whig, 'She-third mon grel." If there was any one time i the convention that might b termed turning pint, it was whe Paul Revere arrived at a gallop having been delegated by Josepl Warren to rush fiom Boston t Philadelphia "with all speed" wit a copy of the Suffolk Resolves, jus adopted by the Sons of Liberty i Massachusetts. The; Resolves stall ed flatly "that no obedience is du from this Province to th recent acts of Parliament but tha they should be rejected I as th attempts of a wicked administra tion to enslave America." Further patriots were to "acquaint them selves with the art of war as soo as possible, and : appear unde arms at least once a week." The Suffolk Resolves wer unanimously adopted by the Conti nental Congress ofi'September 18 1774. The colonies were ready t bring forth a new nation. It will take the same sort c resolve to keep it a free nation.

At the risk of seeming to over-simplify, how about a governmentally-guaranteed right to have a picnic? That is, just as every American should have an opportunity to communicate his or her ideas, certainly we should all have .an opportunity to State Says Gulf Must Have Building Code Clerk George Y. Core in- formed the County Commis- sion last Thursday night the state has informed his office that the County must have a building code in effect Janu- ary 1, 1975. Core had warned the Board of this fact several times in the past. Financial officer Jerry Gates added the information that if the code isn't adopted by that date the state will apply its own code to the county, hire an inspector to enforce the code and bill the county for his expenses,and salary. The Board took no action on the matter. DEPUTY NAMED Mrs. Joyce Price, an as- sistant in the office of tax Assessor Samuel A. Patrick, was named by the Board to act for the Assessor while he is confined to the hospital with a serious illness. Mrs. Price said this week that Patrick would probably be out of the office for at least another three or four weeks. OTHER BUSINESS In other business, the Board: -Gave the VFW permis- sion to use the Commission meeting room for a re-organ- zational meeting on October 18. -Paid the City of Wewa- hitchka $300 from the Tupelo Fire District Fund for fire protection. -Received a refund from Tax Collector Harland O. Pridgeon in the amount of $4,223.75 in excess funds. -Paid the Forestry Service $9,660 for forest fire protec- tion service for the county for a year. -Agreed to pay Florida Engineers $18,857.88 for an engineering survey for water and sewer services in the Beach, White City and Oak Grove areas. The surveys were:made about three years ago. : -The Board was notified by the Department of Natural Resources that the DNR is now mapping the county with aerial, photos and copies will be available in the near fu- ture. Church Group Meets Mission Group I of the First United Methodist Church met in the home of Mrs. C. R. Krisher Sept. 17 with seven members and one guest, Mrs. Edith Stone, pre- sent. Mrs. Edwin Ramsey led in prayer and conducted the program. Mrs. Stone present- ed the program, "What Is The Church?" The meeting was closed with the benediction. picnic when we want to. And we can, without government having formalized this "right." You might not be able to find a picnic table available for your use just when and where you'd prefer. But if you look around, you can us- ually locate one that's empty, and if you can't find a table you can always spread a blanket on the ground. The same is true of the media. There are lots of ways to express yourself in the established media, and if they're all filled at the moment (which is most un- likely) you can always use some other means of getting your message out-from a bumper sticker to using the mails. You can write a letter to the editor. If you avoid libel- ing people, and don't lace your arguments with false in- formation, chances are very good yur letter will be print- ed. You can go to a public meeting, make a statement, and expect your comments to be reported. You can buy an ad. You can buy billboard space, or put up a sign in your front yard. If you pic- ket, you'll probably be inter- viewed and maybe even photographed. You can phone in to a radio talk show, or ask to be inter- viewed on a television news or public affairs show. You can ask your pastor to tell your story in the church bul- letin, or your union to make available space in the union newspaper, 1i There are many ways you can express yourself, not the least of which is to start your own newspaper (not recom- mended, but we'll defend to the death your right to do it). If government attempted to guarantee your access to either the picnic table of your choice or the news medium of your choice (there being others who'd inevitably want the same access at the same time) consider the chaos. It isn't necessary, or feasible, or even desirable. Monticello News "Here's one that ought to make you taxpayers burn! Amtrak will receive a $155 million federal subsidy this year to operate rail passen- ger in the nation. Of that amount, $600,000 is spent to buy airplane tickets so that employees of Amtrak can make business trips, trips they could have made free on Amtrak. Maybe they don't believe in their product." Barnesville, Minn, Record "What do we mean when we say that first of all we seek liberty? I often wonder whether we do not rest our hopes too much upon consti- tutions, upon laws and upon the courts. These are false hopes; believe me, these are false hopes. Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitu- tion, no law, no court can even do much to help it. While it lies there it needs no constitution, no law, no court, to save it." Frederick, S.D., Brown County News "You just know there are more liberals in Washington than there are conservatives when you take a look at the size of the national debt. Americans need hard-fought elections to remind us we are a 'democracy, just as a dog should have fleas to remind him he is a dog." Davison, Mich. Index "When Australia adopted the metric system a few years ago, the changeover was not without its unexpect- ed pitfalls. For example, one irate letter writer complained to an editor: 'Sinceeggs went metric they have been pale in yolk color and lacking in freshness. This clearly shows that (chickens) cannot adjust to laying different-size eggs. We tamper with nature at our peril.' " Somerset, Ky.

A few weeks ago I chronicled the leaving of the nest by the last young Ramsey, as number three daughter went off to college. I said things would be different around the house, and in that I was perfectly correct. The only thing I didn't know was just how different they would be. You see, I had no experience of having no kids in the house upon which to draw. Not all the changes are bad, and certainly not all of them are good. For instance, no longer do I get up to answer the phone in the evenings and'have some young voice ask if Carol is there, do you know where Alford is, or some other such question. When this was going on, they weren't at home, naturally, to answer the phone. I don't know where kids go when they go, but they manage to vanish and report "Oh, I haven't been anywhere, just around." That "around" must be the biggest place in the world, since it seems to be where all kids go when they leave the house. Back to the telephone, though. Just after reporting that the one called isn't home and I make it back to my chair and newspaper, the phone rings again, for the same person, only a different caller. This can happen for as many as a dozen times in a period of 15 minutes. I don't miss this. Then there is the matter of finding the particular shirt I want to -wear in the closet when the kids were at home. Forget it. One of them has it on, though they have umpteen shirts, all of which are too small for me to substitute for the one I'm missing. I could never find tools, fishing tackle, socks, ties, jackets, clean towels, soap, tooth paste, or a welcome dish of ice cream after supper. The shampoo was always upstairs, something cut out of the middle of the paper I hadn't read and the gas tank empty (when the car was at home). I now believe, sincerely that the empty tank was the reason for the car being at home. in the first place. Now that the kids are gone, we eat the same meal all week long. If it's roast on Sunday, it's roast at least until Wednesday and many weeks, up until Friday. Soup becomes a welcome diversion. The bread is always stale (at least now there is some). There's ice in the refrigerator, a''cold -drink- or-twb is- 'always present and the door doesn't slam every five minutes. I can now step out of the shower without peeking around the door to see if somebody is standing in the hall who doesn't live at our house. But worst of all is the monotony of the menu. It would seem that in our enlightened society there would be some central place where those whose children have left home could exchange left-overs, say about Monday evening or Tuesday. When Wednesday comes along, I would gladly exchange the remains of Sunday dinner for even a pot of cold turnip greens, even though they aren't my favorite food. I guess, if you ever get aclimated to the kids being gone, it can be a peaceful, meaningful time of life. But until the adjust- ments get made, it is a trying period; the adolescence of middle age. It doesn't take too long to civilize man to the point of no return. Last Sunday afternoon, I went to the Country Club late in the afternoon to take pictures of the golf tournament winners. While waiting on the championship flight to come in so the winner could be determined, I ran into Tom Knox, who had managed to win a first place prize in his flight. Tom said, I thought we were going to be last one in, even though we were one of the first to tee off this afternoon. Tom had Mickey Stone in his flight, and, according to Tom, Mickey made them late. Tom said (for whatever it's worth) that Mickey visited one of the comfort stations placed around the course during their round, and he stayed and stayed inside. After awhile Tom decided (again, according to him) to go to the door of the comfort station and called out to see if Mickey was all right. Mickey shouted back, "Yeah, yeah, I'm all right I just can't figure out where to flush this thing!" That's what Tom said happened. Although I have never played a game of golf in my life, I should have entered that tournament. One fellow from Panama City -shot a 379 for 18 holes and won a very nice radio for having the hig t,, score, J,clqhaye bettered that record with-no trouble at all and taken that nice prize. There's a big flap these days about "access to the media". This translates to: How easy is it for you to have your ideas disseminated to your fellow citizens through your local newspaper, radio or television station, or other on-going news medium? There are those who insist you should have a govern- mentally-guaranteed right to m I I - THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1974 PAGE THREE Monticello 20, Port St. Joe 6 Three Key Fumbles Cost Sharks A Victory Last Friday Night Two fumbles inside the five yard line and an off-side .nalty cost the Port St. Joe Sharks their fourth straight victory of the year in Monti- cello last Friday night. The Tigers, with their two fast backs dominated the statis- tics in their 20- victory, but the Sharks were definitely in the game all night. The Sharks fumbled three times during the game, and each slip cost the Sharks a score or set up a score for their opponents. In the first period the Sharks had driven to near the one yard line, before a fum- ble cost them a scoring chance. The defense evened things up, however, in the late seconds of the first stan- za by forcing a Tiger fumble on the three yard line. The Sharks put on their second threat early in the second period, when John Owens unloaded a long pass to Mike Todd which went from the Tiger 40 to the five yard line. On the first play from scrimmage, the Sharks fumbled and a second scoring opportunity was shut off. Later in the period, the Tigers intercepted an Owens pass on.their own 43. Nathan- iel Butler hauled in a long pass, which was good to the Shark 13. On the first play from scrimmage, speedy Woodrow Huggins scored. Quarterback Butch Barnes ran for the extra points. The Shark defense scored the only points for Port St. Joe's favorites early in the third period, when halfback Robbie Sanborn, picked off a Tiger pass at the Tiger 35 and carried it across for the score. Owens passed to Dan- ny Tankersley for the two extra points, but the play was called back by an off-side penalty. The second attempt failed, leaving the score 8-6. The Tigers collected their second TD with 3:13 left in the third quarter. Nathaniel Butler, who had kept the Tiger deive going with a key, pass reception, ran the 'final 32 yards on a reverse to put the Tigers on the board with six more points. The Tigers last points came shortly after they had kicked to the Sharks. Deep in Shark territory, the ball squirted loose and the Tigers recover- ed only 30 yards from the goal. Three plays later, Gar- rett Proctor scored from three yards out. Again, the extra point attempt was no good. Late in the fina) period, the Sharks drove to the Tiger 24 on a pass to Tankersley, the running of Farmer.and a friendly penalty or two against the Tigers. With time running out, Owens passed to Tankersley, only to have it intercepted at the 10 yard line to snuff out the threat. Sharks close middle up for running Tigers Hit that line!

Frye, Jr. H Director GAME AND FRESH WATER FISH COMMISSION 5";' 3.. TALLAHASSEE-It is rather ironic, you must ad-" mit, that the citizens who make the greatest contribu- tion to conservation are those who give their time and money because they enjoy harvesting the creatures in whose welfare they act. Say what you will about the lust of the hunter, he is the man to whom we owe a great' debt for saving many of the wild creatures which might otherwise have long since vanished. Each year, in Florida alone, hunters pay millions of dollars for the right to harvest the game crops. These dollars are used in many ways for the management of our wildlife species. The money is used for protection of game against wanton and illegal destruction, for research pro- grams to find better manage- ment practices, for planting, cutting and other wildlife food and cover manipulations to encourage greater produc- tion of wildlife crops, and for educational programs to create better public under- standing of game manage- ment problems and practices and to achieve greater appre- ciation of our wildlife re- sources. Yes, the hunting fraternity is a real conservation group which has probably done more for preserving the out- doors than any other. Hunting is never based on an intent to destroy a popula- tion of any wildlife species. Today, hunting regulations are flexible and hunting is allowed only if the species to be hunted offers a harvestable The mourning dove, a game bird which annually produces a large harvestable crop, is a good example. This bird is classified as a game species by international treaty and is hunted in 31 of the 50 states. Annually, population surveys are con- ducted and harvest regula- tions are based on the popula- tion trends determined from these surveys. Many people do not realize that most small game cannot be stockpiled and that a large portion of the population will be lost whether hunted or not. Re- cent studies have shown that of all the doves hatched in a given year, 70 per cent will not reach the age of one. They will be lost to a variety of causes-storms, disease, predators, etc. Birds har- vested by hunters are simply a segment of those which would be lost anyway. Under modern wildlife management concepts, no game population will ever be destroyed by the hunter. The disappearance of any species will most likely occur as the result of destruction of:its habitat or environment un- knowing or uncaring by some action of man. ---- ~- ------------ Pauline Mouchette's Halloween Costume DANCE SOct. 26-8:30 p.m. Centennial Bldg.

A casual look at game man- agement practices will reveal that efforts in behalf of tur- key, deer, quail, ducks or any species, can't help but have a lasting effect on songbirds, birds of prey, rodents, fur bearers and just about all forms of wildlife. With these thoughts in mind, it should not be dif- ficult to see that hunting and conservation go hand in hand. The licensed hunter himself has made a great contribution to the conservation cause through his desire for the challenge and excitement, health and pleasure of the act of hunting in the outdoors. the GCCC Foundation scho- larship fund.

"Thesefive teachers all have outstanding qualifica- tions," Turlington said, add- ing: "The purpose of the Teacher of the Year program is not to select a 'best' teach- er but to single out one as being representative of all good teachers everywhere." The major qualification be- ing sought is a superior abil- ity to inspire love of learning in children of all backgrounds and abilities. In selecting the five nomi- nees, the Department gave consideration to each teach- er's professional preparation, continued education, com- munity and school involve- ment, the teacher's self eva- luation and philosophy of teaching. In most school districts, nominees were selected by county-level screening com- mittees. Gulf County's candidate for Teacher of the Year is Jerry E. Kelley, 31, an art teacher in grades seven through 12 at Wewahitchka High School. He holds a B.S. in art educa- tion from Florida State Uni- versity and a master's in constructive design from FSU. His wife, Carol, also is a teacher.

Sthe safety, that cost the Seminoles, two points, remember the guy who made that decision is also the one. who had gotten them that close to.., winning.

Smith of the Apalachicola station told the Rotary Club last Thursday his operation will be moving to new quar- ters at the Apalachicola Air- port next summer. Smith said the move is being made necessary be- cause the weather station has taken on the responsibility for upper atmosphere daily tests with balloons and they need to get away from the congestion of downtown to make the tests. Smith said the balloon tests are made at selected stations around the world at specific times twice each day to ga- their wind velocity, lempera- ture and atmospheric pres- sure for weather forecas ing purposes. Smith said the new opera- tion of the station will require 12 people to man the station on a 24-hour )basis. The weather bureau has also installed a 24-hour con- tinuous weather broadcast station. with the transmitter located in Panama City. Smith said. He said the sta- tion puts out continuous wea- ther data on 162.55 Megahurts with a transmission power of 1.000 watts.

Almost 400,000 young eucalyptus seedlings- part of an important research project-began mysteriously to shrivel and die. S The cause of the disaster? S Not blight. Not virus or scale, or chemicals in the fer- tilizer. Analysis showed seepages of salt water into the nur- sery's fresh well water used in irrigating. There was little to do but move the plants that could be salvaged-lock, stock and barrel-to another nursery site at Chiefland. In south Florida, salt water intrusion is a threat from S underground deposits mil- lions of years old. As water is pumped more rapdily than fresh water aquifers can re- charge, salt water seeps into deep well supplies. The damage to the eucal- ,yptus project points out ser- ious problems that Florida may face in the future. Long-range solutions are, of course, being considered. The quality of water is vital I Several trees that seemed to do well under adverse wind an'd salt water wave conditions were the Austra- lain pine, sea grape, silver buttonwood, black and red mangrove. Jerusalem thorn, tropical -almond, native ma- hogany and black olive. Fig species, gumbo limbo, cat's claw and tree hibiscus, as well as-seaside mahoe and beauty leaf also stood their own against mighty Betsy. Conifers that "weather the elements" well are Norfolk Island pine, shore juniper and Monterrey cypress. Shrubs and small plants that might be considered for Home beach plantings include: Spanish bayonet, century plant, pencil tree, rubber plant, salt bush, wax myrtle, oleander and cocoa plum. Also pittosporum, sansevier- ia. bay cedar, hawthorn and lanthana do well on beach sites. Flowers such as day lilies, wedelia. morning glory, peri- winkle, African daisy and portulaca should be planted to brighten beaches, for they are very salt hardy, plus they make the Florida beaches blossom with color. Bahia. St. Augustine 'and Bermuda grass are good grasses for salt-exposed loca- tions. A complete listing of spe- cies for Zone I, II and III conditions can be found in the publication. "Salt Tolerant Trees and Shrubs for South to every element of Flori- dians' lives--from drinking water to agriculture produc- tion. Another problem, faced more frequently by plant growers is salt drift from the sea itself and from occasional hurricanes and lashing storms. Some of Florida's trees and shrubs are better equipped to withstand this kind of salt water bath than others. One good line of defense is to use these salt tolerant species for coastal plantings and else- where, too, where salt water intrusion may conceivably pose a threat. Such trees are classified as "Zone I" species. "Zone II" trees (live oak, slash pine) and "Zone II" shrubs and grasses can withstand salt drift, but not direct spray. (That means moist sea air, but not storms.) "Zone III" plants may be expected to hold up under light salt drift or mist, but cannot take as harsh treatment as other plants can. The classifications were based on observations made after the flooding damage of Hurricane Betsy in the 1960's. FALL TRADITIONAL OR COLONIAL Airman Marvin J. Davis, son of Mr. and Mrs. John H.

A M No, Supergrass! -l "Supergrass" may well have been the best name for a new variety of St. Augus- tine grass that not only ap- pears to resist chinch bugs, but actually fights back by killing many of the bugs that attack it. Instead of choosing this flamboyant name, however, researchers at the University of Florida and Texas A&M University named their new grass after their universities, "Floratam.' The new variety is being released jointly by the two universities, and it is now available in Florida through at least two certified sod pro- ducers, according to Dr. Al- bert E. Dudeck, associate professor with the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences at the University of Florida. And while Floratam's chinch bug resistance seems to be getting most of the at- tention from homeowners and sod producers, the new grass was actually developed for an entirely different reason. "The chinch bug resistance is really a fringe benefit. Floratam is the result of efforts to find an improved variety of St. Augustine grass to combat SAD (St. Augus- tine Decline), a virus disease which has destroyed lawns in Texas and is now spreading into other areas," Dudeck explains. It was feared that the SAD virus could move into Flori- da, causing extensive dam- age to thousands of acres of St. Augustine grass and pos- ing a serious threat to the state's sod industry. In the process of develop- ing Floratam, Dr. James A. Reinert, assistant professor at UF's Agricultural Re- search Center, Fort Lauder- dale, discovered the grass showed resistance to chinch bugs. Limited tests indicate chinch bugs will avoid feed- ing on Floratam if possible, choosing other varieties of St. Augustine grass instead. In confined tests, more Presents New Car James (Bo) Bray,. right, is shown turning over the keys to a new 1975 Ford LTD to Driver Education instructor, James Gunter, for use in the Port St. Joe High than half of those chinch bugs that did feed upon the Flora- tam died, but it is not known Legal Ad IN THE COUNTY COURT, IN AND- FOR GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA.

At the rate hearings held in St. Petersburg recently, the company offered extended S u. contradicted, sworn testi- o rntny describing in detail its grave financial condition and the effect that the lack of base rate relief will have on service to customers. The primary result of the Commission's denial will be a continued deterioration of electric service.

The car is equipped with power assists and air conditioning to simulate the average family automobile for students to learn proper driving techniques. Star photo what makes the grass unpal- atable to the pests. It is thought that Floratam inter- feres with the life processes of chinch bugs in some way. Despite these encouraging results, Dudeck is cautious about how long Floratam may be resistant to chinch bugs under all conditions in the field. Several years of field tests will be necessary to be 100 per cent certain. He added some chinch bugs may yet develop a resistance to Floratam, much like some insects develop a resistance to certain pesticides. Tommy Durrance of the Pursley Grass Company, Pal- metto, one of the two "certi- fied" producers in the state, says his firm has planted hundreds of acres of the grass and it continues to show resistance to chinch bugs. Ousley Sod Company, Pompano Beach, is the state's only other certified Floratam producer. Other researchers working on the new grass variety include Dr. Granville C. Horn, professor at the UF, and Dr. Robert W. Toler, professor at Texas A&M. Complete details on Floratam are available in Circular S-224, published by IFAS at the UF. Copies are available at your local County Coopera- tive Extension Office. Dudeck pointed out Floia- tam is well adapted to grow- ing conditions in Florida and it is fairly tolerant to gray leaf spot, the main disease problem of St. Augustine gras in the state. It's also tolerant to downy mildew, another new disease that has been found in Florida, Texas, Loui- siana and Arkansas. We don't have forests to burn. Think about it. Next time you burn anything. )wer Says Is Grave the electric customers. The company has no alter- native but to make further reductions in construction projects that have survived this long, only because of their critical priority. The company has no plans to pursue the Commission's decision through the courts since the matter could not be concluded before the end of the year, at which time the relief sought was to termi- nate. Florida Power Corporation must now pursue a perma- nent rate increase and press for prompt action.. Electric bills are high, but our base rates are among the lowest in the state and that's the source of the company's funds. It's a well know fact that the amount of the fuel adjustment clause, which is bleeding the electric custom- er, is the product of foreign oil-producing countries. It is assumed the Commis- sion's decision reflects the frustration of the electric customer in paying excessive amounts to these foreign countries, a frustration the company shares. Neverthe- less, the fact remains that denial of this increase can only result in continued deterioration of service. There should be no misunder- standing bn this point.
