Pilot taxied plane into Port St. Joe after forced landing


Not Your Normal Landing Field


Last Wednesday night you
may have noticed a plane
taxi down SR-71, and wonder-
ed if your sight was failing
you. Be assured that all is
well with your sight, because
two young men from the
Tampa Bay area made an
emergency landing on the
highway, just south of the
White City Bridge.


Gary Coe, a flying instruc-
tor from St. Petersburg, and
a friend, John Alley of Tam-
pa, planned a trip from St.
Petersburg to Panama City.
About 7:30 p.m. Coe noticed
that he was fast losing engine
power, and did the first thing
he teaches his students to do;
namely, find a place to land.
Coe reported to the Sher-


iff's Department that he con-
templated setting it down in
the Intercoastal Waterway,
since it was the only place he
could find which did not con-
tain large trees. Getting
down to within a few hundred
feet of the ground, Coe
noticed a set of automobile
headlights in the darkness,
and landed the plane on


SR-71, narrowly missing the
car he used as a guide to the
pavement.
Coe safely took off late
Thursday afternoon about
three miles north of Port St.
Joe on SR-71, and at last
report was on his way back
to Tampa, probably wishing
he had never left.

Treatment Plant

Nears Its Goal

Bob Simon, manager of the City's multi-million
dollar Wastewater Treatment plant reported to the
City Commission Tuesday night, the plant is now
reaching a purity of 89.05 per cent toward its goal of
90 percent purity in treatment. The 90 percent goal is
the one required by the State Department of
Pollution Control.
Simon said, "We are now up to 89.05 percent
'BOD removal'." That 'BOD' means, Biochemical
Oxygen Demand. This is the amount of oxygen
particles in the water which is being used to support
impurities and microbes which are in the sewage and
waste effluent.
Simon said the effluent enters the plant contain-
ing a rating of 270 BOD; that is, 270 parts of oxygen
per million gallons are being used to support the
impurities in the water. Drinking water has a BOD
count of:zero. The Wastewater Plant's effluent now
has a count of 10.5 and will ultimately reach a count
of five.

Last Thursday night, the
largest number of persons in
Gulf County history were ar-
rested in a massive narcotics
raid, which focused its atten-
tion on those persons either
handing out or selling mari-
juana, reported Sheriff Ray-
.mond Lawrence.
The Sheriff stated that the
investigation, .which has been
conducted over the past 10
weeks, has netted 15 arrests
so far, with a few' warrants
not yet served because the
persons are not readily avail-
able.
Arrested were the follow-
ing: Robert "Bobby" Gibson,
age 20; Jimmy Gathers, 19;
Richard "Rickey" Hamm,
19; Howard "Steve" Wom-
bles, 23; Allen Lee Home-
wood, 19; Clyde Chambers,


22; Dale Addison, 18; Wel-
lington Farmer, 21; and Jeff
Dixon, 18. In addition, six
juveniles were arrested, but
their names cannot be pub-
lished.
All of those arrested have
been charged with Sale and-
or Delivery of Marijuana.
Bond on all subjects was set
at $1,000 each, and all of
those arrested have been re-
leased on bond.
"Contrary to a widespread
misconception, even handing
,a marijuana cigarette to a
friend constitutes a felony,"
reported the Sheriff, "There
does not have to be a money
transaction to fall under the
'Sale' statute.
"This is only the beginning
of a continuing investiga-

The City Commission en-
tertainied a suggestion Tues-
day night made by Clerk
Charles Brock to extend the
city limits of the City of Port
St. Joe.
Brock recommended the
city limits be extended ap-
proximately one section line
to the North, East and South.
He recommended the limits
be extended to the Gulf Coun-
ty Canal on the North; to a
point near the Lions Club
horse arena on the East and
to Highway 98 on the South.
Brock pointed out that al-
most all of the useable prop-
erty within the present city
limits is being utilized and
there is a need to expand.
'A similar action was con-
templated by the City Com-
mission several years ago but
was never accomplished be-
cause several property own-
ers objected due to the fact
they would be taxed by the
City and would receive no
additional government ser-
vices. Brock's plan, present-
ed Tuesday night, would
declare a tax moratorium on
the newly annexed property
until such time as it started
being developed.
The Board took Brock's
plan under advisement for
consideration.
The suggested move would
have the City of Port St. Joe


Property Valuations Pegged at $97,358,583


State Revenue Department Accepts Roll


Gulf County's property val-
uation roll has finally been
approved and returned by the
State Department of Reve-
nue, according to Mrs. Joyce
Price, an assistant in the
office of the Assessor.
Mrs. Price said the Reve-
nue Department approved a
roll of $97,358,583. Mrs. Price


said the property valuation
figure will probably be re-
duced two to three million
dollars after the hearings
which have yet to be set.
Last year's property valua-
tions were set at $63,867,087.
Mrs. Price said- letters of
notification will go out next
week advising those protest-


ing their valuations of a date
for them to appear before the
equalization board for possi-
ble adjustments. The date of
the hearing has not been
decided as yet, but will prob-
ably be agreed upon by the
equalization board members
before the end of the we.-k.
Mrs. Price said 86 petitions


for relief were filed but 20 to
25 have been withdrawn.
Both the County and the
School Board seem to be
protected on their projected
millage and valuation for the
present budget year. The
County has tentatively set
their millage at 6.7 based on
a valuation of $80,000,000. The


School Board has tentatively
set a rate of eight mills based
on a valuation of $79,000,000.
If Mrs. Price's prediction
holds true, both governing
bodies will be able to reduce
their millage. Neither gov-
erning body can raise their
millage without re-advertis-
ing their budget.


surrounding Ward Ridge, an
incorporated municipality
and Oak Grove, which is
unincorporated.
WATER PLANT
Another subject being con-
sidered by the Board is estab-
lishment of a second water
treatment plant in the vicin-
ity of the Port St. Joe High
School.
The City presently has an


engineering firm drawing up
recommendations for expan-
sion of the water treatment
plant and the sewer and
water distribution and collec-
tion systems.
Since there is a need for
increased water treatment
facilities and since the City
can expand only in this area,
the Board will approach the

The big story in Gulf Coun-
Sty for the general election is
that only 2,533 of 5,661 eligi-
ble voters cast their ballots.
Only a little more than 44 per
cent went to the polls in an
election which was expected
to draw only 20 percent of the
voters state-wide,
According to Supervisor of
Elections, Mrs. Dessie Lee
Parker, there are 65 absentee
ballots to be counted in Gulf
County.
In other races, Gulf Coun-
ty, like the rest of the state-
and virtually the rest of the
nation-went along with the
Democratic ticket in casting
its vote. All Democratic can-
didates won handily in Gulf
County with one exception.
Richard (Dick) Stone, a big
vote getter in the first pri-
mary in Gulf, barely squeak-
ed by a surprisingly strong
Dr. John Grady. Dr. Grady,
unheard of in Gulf County 30
days ago, racked up 1,021
votes while the well-known
Stone had to settle for a bare
majority of 1,110.
Gulf County approved the
candidacy of young Bruce
Smathers as Secretary of
State, giving him 1,585 votes
to onl) 543 fdr his opponent.
James Sebesta.
Democrat Jerry Lewis,
who made a very weak show-
ing in the first primary in
September came back strong
in the general election to
overwhelm Republican W. H.
Muntzing, 1,860 to 472.
Thomas D. O'Malley, run-
ning under the cloud of a
Grand Jury investigation,
overwhelmed his opposition,
Jeffrey Latham two to one,'
polling 1,564 to only 791 for
Latham.
Commissioner of Education
Ralph Turlington rolled over
Carl Kuttler, 1,707 to 502 in
his bid for-his first full term
in office after being appoint-
ed by Governor Askew.
Doyle Conner, a perennial
favorite in Gulf County polled
1,692 votes to 613 for his
opponent Donald Webb for
the Commissioner of Agricul-
ture seat.
William H. Bevis was ap-
proved by the county to serve
another term a a Public
Service Commissioner. Bevis
racked up the largest major-
ity in Gulf County, collecting
1,814 votes to only 426 for his
opponent, Noel R. Bacon.
AMENDMENTS FAIL.
Gulf County would have
nothing to do with the Consti-
tutional Amendments: County
voters turned thumbs down
on all but one of the special
acts and approved that one-
the provision to give equal
opportunity to handicapped
persons seeking employment.

Bananas Ripening


Port St. Joe doesn't lie in the tropics, but it's close
enough to grow some tropical fruits and flowers. Mrs.

Minnie Fennell brought this fine stalk of bananas by The
Star office over the week end, to show us what her tree is
doing this year. Mrs. Fennell says the tree bears quite a
number of plump, sweet bananas nearly every year. Some
of the fruit had ripened on the stalk and the sample she left
in the office proved the fruit to be plump, sweet and
delicious even if it didn't prove this event happens each
year. Star photo

area would like to go to the

Your Service Can


Save Tax Money


It seems as if every tax payer
.in Gulf County is interested in
saving tax. dollars for now at
:least. When the shock of having to
pay wears off or becomes more
acceptable, the desire to spend
again may come surging forward.
It appears to us that if those
:wvho have expressed a desire to cut
'down on tax spending and collec-
l.ion really mean wv riht liey say.:
they can put their .'ord and
'desires into action. in a vf-:-y r:eal
*way.
It has come to our attention
.:from Andy Anderson that our vol-
:unteer ambulance service needs
-some more volunteers. Anderson
.says the service especially needs
-someone who can be on call during
.the day. Although ample volun-
teers are now signed up to take
:care of the afternoon and night
iuns, the service could even use a
few more people to volunteer to
serve during these hours. Anderson
says the evening volunteers need
some relief and lee-way. The num-
ber now serving is ample, but it
-would be easier on everyone if the
burden were spread thinner.
Volunteering your services for


the ambulance service will make it
work and save your county an
approximate $150,000 each year -
that's $150,000 tax dollars which
would come from your pocket to
pay the people hired to perform
this service if such was necessary.
Fortunately, the volunteer ser-
vice is taking care of our needs
very well. Training has been ar-
ranged for all votluitleris. past and
future, with even further training
to comoe.
The ambulance service is un-
der the supervision of the County
Commission and must be operated
in a specific manner under state
regulations to operate at all in the
county. If people are not willing to
report in sufficient 'numbers to
keep the volunteer operation going
in an acceptable manner, the coun-
ty will have only the options of
hiring attendants or doing without
the service.
So, you see, you can put feet
under your objections to more
spending feet which will help
hold up a needed county service at
a minimum of cost, thus saving
many of those hard earned dollars
being paid in to taxes.


Later to Rise


You just can't please all of the
people.
For, the better part of a year
now, we have heard people com-
plaining about Daylight Saving
Time. With the advent of the
.shorter day here in the fall, the old
argument about objecting to school
kids going to school in the dark
cropped up again, and people were
giving the Daylight Saving Time a
fit.
Now that the time has reverted
back to Standard Time, we hear-
complaint after complaint about, "I
don't like this slow time. It's dark
when I get home or so near to
being dark I can't get anything
done outside."
We confess we fall in the latter
Category. To those of us who work
in a service business, getting off at
53:00, 4:00, 4:30 or 5:00 in the

afternoon just isn't done. By 8:00
it's dark.


We'll confess, too, that we had
rather go to work by Standard
Time and get off by Daylight
Saving Time, but time payment
time will not allow us this luxury.

Maybe it's a good thing to have
two time schemes for the year:
move up the clock in the Spring
and move it back in the Fall. This
way, some time during the year,
everybody will be pleased, unless
they happen to like neither of the
time schemes. You have to admit,
it's a unique thing which has at
least half of the American people
pleased at one time or another.
When you consider there is a
healthy number of people who just
don't care one way or another what
time plan is in effect, you can count
on at least 60 to 70 percent of the
people being pleased at a given
time. That's something akin to a
miracle.


Economic


Indicator

At a meeting recently, a dis-
cussion raged -about where Gulf
County stood in the state as to the
amount of money earned per cap-
ita. Some claimed it was near the
top and others claimed it was just
above average.
The kids of Gulf County offer a
pretty good argument that the
economy of Gulf County is pretty
good.
With the price of toilet tissue
today, it takes a good of deal of
spending money to pursue the
passtime of "rolling" yards unless
one has a sufficiency of cash.
The "rolling" doesn't seem to
have slacked up appreciably with
the increased cost of the raw
ingredient.

HVFD Answers
Two Fire Alarms

The Highland Fire Depart-
ment was called out twice
this week, Wednesday and
Sunday night. Both calls in-
volved fires in abandoned
junk cars on Third St. in
Highland View.
Damage from the fires was
confined to the cars.


I have waited with bated breath for this
day ever since the political campaigns began
back during July.
Like everybody else, I have been hounded
by inflation, bugged by the high interest rate,
made nervous by the increasing unemployment
rate, turned sour over the rising price of sugar,
had my disposition clabber over the price of
milk, I'm shocked by my electric bill, and
staggering under the load of high taxes.
Today, at the latest, all these things which
are displeasing me and everyone else so much
have come to an end. Everything is as it should
be again.
I know it is, because new public officials
have been elected since this time last week and
each and every candidate for the various
offices claimed to have a formula for ridding
us of our peeves. With the election of some of
them, we expect them to deliver.
Although I voted Tuesday, it was a chore. I
couldn't in good conscious cast my vote for any
of the candidates running, if I had been voting
on the strength of their claims for a solution to
the nation's problems. The only one who we
heard failing to have the cure-all answer
available was Senate candidate Richard Stone;
who merely promised to work with those in
office who felt as he did about the various
troubling matters. This is all anyone can do.
S I felt it an insult to my admittedly limited
intellect for a candidate to tell me he was going
to see that the fuel adjustment was erased
from my electric bill. Others were going to stop
inflation and still others were going to see that
the farmer received a mint of money for what
he produced and the housewife would in the
future, pay only pennies for her foodstuffs.
Anybody who believes that garbage is, to
put it mildly, naive.

I read in the papers Sunday where a child
was given a candy straw with cyanide poison
inside it for trick or treat on Hallowe'en night.


A few years back, the newspapers carried
stories of kooks putting pieces of glass, razor
blades, straight pins and other dangerous items
inside pieces of candy to give to the kids on
Hallowe'en. These stories were missing this
year and I'm glad, since their absence surely
failed to plant the idea into the head of some
who were just crazy enough to do it. The
cyanide incident'seems to be sort of an isolated
happening. Still, it's certain the one who did it
will be able to thank the police for keeping him
from being lynched once he is found out.

Everything from the fur on the wooly bear,
to the almanac, to thim moss on the tree says it
is going to be a hard winter.
Gordon Wimsatt of Cloudcroft, N.M., has
confirmed the prognostications with the exam-
ination of his jars of fat.
Mr. Wimsatt has jars of fat from bears,
South American snapper turtles, Alaskan fur
seals, turkeys and even humans sitting on his
window sill congealing into patterns. By the
patterns developed, Wimsatt clams to be able
to forecast the severity of the winter.
He claims the Indians used this method for
centuries and he has been using the barometer
for 40 years.
Wimsatt may be right. The coming winter
may be harsh. Here in Florida, the word
"harsh" can mean we will have a few
mornings when it will freeze. There may even
be a drop or two of snow somewhere in the
Southland, but our mean temperature will
probably remain mild.
I don't rely on these long range predictions.
I take it a day at a time. Each morning, I'll put
my big toe up on the window next to the bed. If
it sticks to the window, I'll just stay in bed. If it
comes back cool, I'll put on a coat. If it comes
back comfortable as it usually does, I'll just go
on doing what I do everyday dress for the
occasion.

Florida Can Expect Greater Growth


in Population During Next 25 Years


: While some South Florida
residents complain about re-
cent rampant growth and its
problems, the U. S. Depart-
ment of Commerce predicts
an even greater population
'Boom in the next 25 years.
: A Department of Com-
merce study forecasts Flor-
ida gaining more new resi-
dents during that time span
than any other state. And,
*says the study, Floridians
;will enjoy the nation's highest
:increases in personal income.
The study, which assumes
continued peace and healthy


investment levels, says the
Sarasota metropolitan area
will have the largest growth
rate of any city in the nation.
It predicted that 12 South-
eastern states will lead the
nation in growth, and that
Florida will lead the South-
east.
Making financial forecasts
in terms of 1967 dollars, the
study said the national per
capital income will rise from
$3,544 in 1971 to $4,780.in 1980
and $6,166 in 1990, with much
of that wealth shifting south.
Florida's expected popula-


tion and level of income in
1990 were not given as a
whole, but here are projec-
tions for major metropolitan
areas listed in the study:
Jacksonville Population
592,000 in 1969 to 730,000 in
1990, an annual growth rate

Miami An increase of
population from 1,250,000 in
1969 to 2,330,000 in 1990, an
annual growth rate of 3 per
cent. Per capital income in-
creasing from $3,705 in 1969


to $6,531 in 1990.

wood Population growing
from 596,000 in 1969 to

Municipal Hospital admin-

the Rotary Club last Thurs-

hospitals is to break even in
their operations. "This is get-
ting harder and harder to do
in the face of rapidly increas-
ing costs in supplies, labor
and equipment", he said.
He pointed out the com-

including the laboratory. "We
have been sending most of
our analysis off for testing",-
the speaker said, "but now
we do most of them in our
own laboratory, which gives
the patient better service."
In concluding his talk, the
administrator said he hopes
to see improvements in pa-
tient care, provide services to


sustain life in every emer-
gency and determine the
acute care needs of the com-
munity. "I know we can't
provide every need of the
community, but our goal is to

can be transported to proper
facilities in extreme cases",
the speaker concluded.

The Gators are going bowling.
SNot the one I expected, but the
Sugar Bowl. Their opponent is
SNebraska, who will probably have
at least one more loss; to Okla-
homa. Hopefully, Florida will not
lose another game, although Geor-
gia, Kentucky and Miami are all
capable of an upset. If they con-
tinue to play as they did against
Auburn they should get to New Or-
leans with only one loss. That one
to Vanderbilt.
And what about the Seminoles for the rest of the year?
It's doubtful if they can salvage a game. Two years in a
row without a win will surely make it tough to recruit
quality players. Coach Mudra has a real project on his
hands, if he expects to rebuild their program in the near
future. But football teams tend to run in cycles and
maybe the worst is over. Let's hope so.
We have an NCAA doubleheader scheduled Saturday.
Where TV is concerned the season is just starting.
Between now and Superbowl time there should be


enough for everyone.

POLICE RETIREMENT
The Commission is consid-
ering placing the police force
under the state retirement
program, along with the re-
mainder of the City force.
The Police retirement pro-
gram is presently funded by
the City and the police offi-
cers in a City operated pro-
gram. Clerk Brock reported
that at a recent meeting he
attended, he had learned that
it would be more to the
advantage of the police offi-
cers and the City to adopt the
state retirement program for
the officers.
Tuesday night, the Com-
mission appointed a police
retirement committee com-
posed of Chief H. W. Griffin,
assistant chief Roy Robinson,
patrolman Bobby Lightfoot,
Mayor Frank Pate and Bob
Fox. The Board agreed to let
the new committee make its
recommendations of the
change in the retirement pro-
gram before making the
move.
Brock said only Chief Grif-
fin, with over 30 years ser-
vice would be adversly af-
fected by the change but the
City could provide for special
compensation to avoid penal-
izing Griffin.
OTHER BUSINESS
In other business, tne Com-
mission:
-Considered insurance
coverage for the expensive
electrical system at the new
Wastewater Treatment plant.
-Agreed to consider em-
ployment of seven trainees
under a federal program
which provides for the train-
ees' salaries for the first
year.
-Made the final payment
of $9,067.17 on the new Fire
Station.
-Received bids on pur-
chase of a crawler loader
machine.
-Received notification
from the Department of Pol-
lution Control that St. Joe
Paper Company was putting
too much effluent into the
treatment plant. The firm
has notified DPC that they
are reducing their flow as
new equipment comes on the
line as anticipated when the
treatment plant was design-
ed.

Sharks Gigged,



by Blountstown T


Port St. Joe's Sharks pas-
sed up three golden opportun-
ities to score and were burn-
ed by three long passes from
Hub Chason to Rose Garrett
in their 27-6 loss to Blounts-
town Friday night.
The Sharks completely
dominated the Tigers in the
first quarter and had the ball
inside the 12 yard line twice
in the first period. In fact, it
was with only a minute left in
the period before the defend-
ing state champions managed
their initial first down.
The Tigers received the
opening kick-off deep in their
own territory and on the third
play, Carl Whittle intercepted
a Hub Chason pass, bringing
it back to the Tiger 20 in the
Sharks' first threat. Robert
Farmer picked up five yards
and Whittle three and it
looked as if the Sharks were
going to put a quick score on
the board. On fourth down,
quarterback Bruce May was
chased out of bounds and
slammed his head into a
fence post on the edge of the
field and May was lost for the
night.
The Tigers then had the
ball on their own 12 and,
after losing two yards in
three downs punted the ball
away. The Sharks took over


on the Tiger 41 and on a key
26 yard pass from John Ow-
ens to Bill Norton, the Sharks
were right back on the 17 and
threatening again. Norton
ran to the four yard line on
the first down. Bonnie Gar-
land lost the ball on the next
play and another threat was
snuffed.
With about two minutes left
in the first half, the Sharks
fumbled again on the Shark
44, with the Tigers getting the
ball. A pass from Chason to
Garrett put the Tigers on the
Shark 16. Then Chason hit
Darit Godwin in the end zone
for the first score of the
game. Fernando Jackson's
kick was good, and the Tigers
owned a 7-0 lead with 1:32
left in the half.
The Sharks then started
from their own 41 and receiv-
ed help from a face mask
penalty, but the drive sput-
tered and died on the Tiger 34
with 44 seconds left. Hub
Chason then hit Rose Garrett
on his second long pass for a
66 yard score. Jackson's kick
was wide and the Tigers had
a 13-0 margin at the half
time.
Early in the third period,
Bill Norton's only punt of the
night put the Tigers back on
their own four yard line.


After working the ball out to
the'"4 yard line, Calvin Wat-
son recovered a Tiger fum-
ble. Robert Farmer then
went to work and advanced
the ball 22 yards and Bonnie
Garland bulled for two before
the drive died on the Tiger
13, and a third scoring oppor-
tunity faded.
The Tigers J. D. Baker
then ripped off 25 and 15 yard
runs and Chason kept the ball
on a 15 yard gainer. With the
Tigers on the Shark eight,
Chason hit Garrett in the end
zone for another TD. Godwin
passed to Garrett for the two
extra points and the Sharks
were in the hole 21-0 with 1:03
left in the third period.
The Sharks generated their
only scoring drive in the
opening minutes of the fourth
quarter. Starting from their
own 34 yard line, Bonnie
Garland and John Owens
each ripped off 11 yard runs.
Then, from four yards out,
Owens hit Danny Tankersley
with a little pop pass over the


27-6



igers
middle for the score. The
Sharks tried for two extra
points, but the run failed.
The Tigers took the Shark
kick on their own 11 yard
line. On the second play of
the series, Chason unloaded
to Garrett again and the
Tigers had an 85 yard scoring
play to their credit. The extra
point failed and the Tigers
wound up with a 27-6 win.
The loss was the Sharks'
third in a row, leaving them
with a 4-3 Season thus far.

Many Die At


Rail Crossings


Many people die each year
in railway crossing crashes
who could be saved if they
would obey a few simple
safety rules said the Florida
Highway Patrol today.
Patrol records show that 78
persons were.killed last year
in collisions between motor
vehicles and trains, which
was an increase of six over
the preceding year. Injuries
increased from 296 to 364.
Colonel Eldrige Beach,
Patrol Director, says, "When
you realize that almost every-
one of those killed in railway
crossing crashes could be
alive today if they'had used a
little caution, it makes one
wonder just how much value
people place on their lives."
Beach continued,. "There
are some simple steps you
can take when nearing rail-
way crossings which may
possibly save your life. Read
the ones listed below to see
how your driving habits mea-
sure up."
-At every crossing, includ-
ing those equipped with lights
or barriers, reduce your
speed enough that you can
stop if a train is approaching
even if the warning devices
are not activated.
-If you see a train coming,

stop, because it is difficult
to judge the speed of any-
thing coming directly at you.
-Be especially careful
when there is more than one
track as there could be a
train approaching behind the
one you may see.
-Be prepared when follow-
ing such vehicles as buses
and trucks carrying inflam-
ables or explosives as they
are required by law to stop at
railway crossings.
-If traffic ahead of you
stops on the other side of the
track due to other traffic or
stop lights, don't stop directly
on the tracks.
-If you must stop on the
tracks due to other traffic
ahead, or your vehicle stalls
while a train is coming, get
out of the vehicle and run
away from the tracks. A
heavily loaded train may not
be able to stop for hundreds
of yards.
-Don't be a "me too"
when cars ahead of you take
a chance to beat the oncom-
ing train across the intersec-
tion.
-As you approach a cros-
sing, even those with auto-
matic warning signals, re-
duce your speed, turn down
loud radios or tape players


Bill Norton, Mike Todd block for Robert Farmer, but he's all tied up (left)


and roll down your window
slightly in order that you
may hear a train whistle and
look both ways. This is es-
pecially true at night and in
bad weather.
-Never drive around other
cars stopped or any barri-
cade lowered. This can be
costly by having to pay a fine
or you may pay the supreme
penalty-your life!
Colonel Beach concluded by
saying, "When you realize
that counting all types of
traffic crashes, one person in
every 122 crashes was killed,
but in car-versus-train acci-
dents, one person in every
seven was killed. This means
that your chances of being
killed when involved with a
train is 17 times greater than
it is in other type crashes.

to the figure and rich in flavor, charcoal grilled snapper is
guaranteed to make any gathering a success. Invite your
friends and create a slimmer gathering soon featuring Florida
seafood over the coals.

2 pounds snapper fillets or 1/2 teaspoon WorceStershire
other fish fillets, fresh sauce
or frozen i teaspoon white pepper
/2 cup melted fat or oil Dash liquid hot pepper
1/4 cup lemon juice sauce
2 teaspoons salt Paprika
Thaw frozen fillets. Cut into serving-size portions and place
in well-greased, hinged wire grills. Combine remaining ingre-
dients except paprika. Baste fish with sauce and sprinkle with
paprika. Cook about 4 inches from.moderately hot coals for
8 minutes. Baste with sauce and sprinkle with paprika. Turn
and cook for 7 to 10 minutes longer or until fish flakes easily
when tested with a fork. Serves 6.

Penalty
People who don't report
changes in circumstances
that affect their supplemental
security income payments
may have a penalty deducted
from future payments, ac-
cording to David P. Robin-
son, Social Security Field
Representative for Gulf
County.
The supplemental security
income program makes
monthly payments to people
with little or no income and
limited resources who are 65
and over or blind or disabled.
Eligibility for payments and
payment amounts can be af-
fected by change in income,
place of residence, marital
status, and other circum-
stances.
"People have 30 days to
report such changes to any
social security office," Robin-
son said. "Under the law,
failure to report changes-or
delay in reporting changes-
can mean reductions in sup-
plemental security income
payments."
The penalty is $25 for the
first failure or delay, $50 for
the second, and $100 for each
subsequent failure or delay.
"The penalty isn't applied
if people couldn't help report-
ing late or weren't at fault
for not reporting changes in
their circumstances," he
said.
"Also, people who make a
false statement that causes
them to get money not right-
fully due may be prosecuted
for fraud," he said.

Trees purify the air. And
while people and animals
consume oxygen and emit
carbon dioxide, growing trees
convert carbon dioxide to
wood and give off oxygen.
Trees also cool and humid-

may tell you. that you need
trees to help reduce this ex-
pense.
Trees purify water, protect
watersheds (the areas drain-
ed by a river or river sys-
tem), control erosion, and
conserve soil. Three-fourths
of the nation's water comes
from the forested third of the
country. Trees, cushioning
the impact of rainfall on
forest floors, regulate water
flow, so provide a vital link in
the earth's water system.
Worldwide, nearly half of
all living organic materials is
in the forests, one-third is in
the oceans, the rest on grass
and croplands. Half of all
photosynthesis-the basis of
the world's food-take place
in the forest. Trees are re-
newed by solar energy; their
re-creation does not deplete
other resources.
Trees reduce highway
noise. Solid belts of trees,
with shrub row plantings
may produce up to 50 per
cent more quiet along high-
ways and in residential
areas.
