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.

days have encouraged the butterflies and

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.

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-

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

The Suffolk Resolves wer

It will take the same sort c

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.

Church Group Meets

Church met in the home of
Mrs. C. R. Krisher Sept. 17
with seven members and one

sent.
Mrs. Edwin Ramsey led in

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.

"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

"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."

"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

freshness. This clearly shows
that (chickens) cannot adjust
to laying different-size eggs.
We tamper with nature at our

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

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.

WILDLIFE \

COMMENTS ON THE OUTDOORS
By J
Dr. 0. E. 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.

Some try to point out that
game management is a selfish
tool of the hunting public
and helps only game species.
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.

"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.
Joining the Department of
Education screening commit-
tee for this week's in-the-
classroom interviews will be
Mrs. Page Haddock of Jack-
sonville, president of the
Florida Congress of Parents
and Teachers; Miss Cathe-
rine Luther of Tallahassee,
president of the Florida Edu-
cation Association; and
James Navitsky, Martin
County school superintendent
and president of the Florida
Association of District School
Superintendents.
Name of the Florida Teach-
er of the Year 1975 is expect-
ed tobe announced about ten
days after the committee
completes the interviews.

With Auburn riding just below Bama in the ratings,

hope they can hold it. Mitzi Jackson, who Shark fans

Smith Says Weather

Bureau Is Changing


Weatherman Robert L.
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.
Guest of the clulb was Ion
(Gr'egor of P lanamina City.

Salt Water Intrusion

SDamages State Nursery


Recently, one of the nur-
series operated by the Divi-
sion of Forestry, Florida De-
partment of Agriculture and
S Consumer Services, ran into
serious woes. 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.

Pot Charge
James Ray "Jimmy" El-
liott, age 19, of Port St. Joe
was arrested late Friday
evening and charged with
possession of less than 5
grams of marijuana, a mis-
demeanov, reports Sheriff
Raymond Lawrence.
Arresting Deputy Mike
White was on patrol in the
North Port St. Joe area when
he stopped a car being driven
in an erratic manner, and
arrested the driver for driv-
ing under the influence of al-
cohol. White noticed the
smell of burning marijuana
about the car when he first
spoke to the driver, so he
took Elliott, a passenger,
with him to the County Jail
where he was found to have
the marijuana in his posses-
sion.
Bond was set at $500 by
County Judge Robert M.
Moore, and Elliott was re-
leased on Sunday.

Is It Superman



or Supermouse? 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

Condition

Florida Power Corporation
'" regrets the decision of the
Public Service Commission to'
deny its petition for tempor-
ary rate relief.
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. This is detri-
mental to the best interest of


School driver education classes during the
coming year. St. Joe Motor Company and
the Ford Motor Company furnishes the
school with a new car to use for the classes
each year. 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.

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.
