W- a THIRTY-EIGHTH YEAR, NUMBER 10 Industry Deep Water Port Fine People Safest Beaches in Florida PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1974 0 4 15 Cents Per Copy County Voters Cast A Democratic Ballot With One Notable Exception 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. .1 . ..

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. mm 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- (Continued on Page 6) 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 (Continued on Page 6) 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. Amendment 1 Amendment 2 Amendment 3 Amendment 4 Amendment 5 Amendment 6 Arfiendment 7 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.

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.

Editor The Star Port St. Joe, Florida Dear Mr. Ramsey: As you know.\ I have been working in Gull County as a Parole and Probation Super- visor since March 1970. It has been a great pleasure work- ing with you and the wonder- ful Gulf County people. As of November 1, 1974, I will no longer be working in Gulf County. My work will keep me in Bay County. It would be appreciated very much if you would express my sincere thanks to every-, body in Gulf County., Reading your newspaper has been enjoyable. Keep up the good work. Thanks to you and many other dedicated citizens in Gulf County, I shall have many pleasant memories as long as I live. My best wishes are extended to you and all the residents of Gulf County. Sincerely, Ernest Langford District Supervisor GAARC Meeting Tonight at 7:30 The Gulf County Associa- tion for Retarded Citizens will meet Thursday night, November 7 at 7:30 p.m. EST in the Parrish Hall of St. James Episopal Church on Sixth Street. 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 of 1.5 per cent. Income $3,133 in 1969 to $5,783 in 1990. 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. Fort Lauderdale, Holly- wood Population growing from 596,000 in 1969 to 1,205,000 in 1990 at 3.4 per cent annually. Income, $3,550 in 1969 to $5,959 in 1990. West Palm Beach Popu- lation 337,000 in 1969 to 563,000 in 1990, at 3.7 per cent a year. Income $3,550 in 1969 to $6,246 in 1990. Sarasota Population 115,000 in 1969 to 261,000 in 1990, at 3.9 per cent a year. Income $3,198 in 1969 to $5,861 in 1990. Tampa-St. Petersburg - Population 994,000 in 1969 to 1,703,000 in 1990, at 2.6 per cent. Income $2,956 in 1969 to. $5,653 in 1990. Orlando-Population 418,000 in 1969 to 673,000 in 1990, at 2.3 per cent. Income $3,092 in 1969 to $5,975 in 1990. Read the Classifieds Ends Railroad Career George C.

"I know we can't provide every need of the community, but our goal is to at least province facilities to maintain the patient until he can be transported to proper facilities in extreme cases", the speaker concluded. 323 REID AVENUE o' L St. S JOEe, 7o'ida 32456 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.

Civil cases are up 18 per cent and juvenile cases up 17 per cent in the first eight months of this year. The number of cases pro- cessed in the circuit, includ- ing Bay, Calhoun, Gulf, Holmes, Jackson and Wash- ington counties, rose by near- ly 20 per cent in the same period. In county courts throughout the circuit the number of cases filed was slightly below last year's level (down 7 per cent) but the number of cases .disposed of in county courts rose over 20 per cent, indicat- ing the courts were working off an accumulation of cases, notably civil matters, most of which were "small claims" procedures. So far this year the cases filed in courts of the 14th Cir- cuit include: Bay County-682 criminal, 1,456 civil and 486 juvenile, compared to 516 criminal, 1,354 civil and 387 juvenile last year. Calhoun County-71 crimi- nal, 114 civil and 39 juvenile compared to 38 criminal, 107 civil and 27 juvenile last year.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7. 1974 PAGE SEVEN 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.

Carl 'Whi le (31 returns inerct p Whittle (31) returns intercepted pass in first quarter 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, Robbie Sanborn has himself a Tiger DEPEND ON St. Joe Auto Parts Your NAPA Jobber for 18 Years FOR QUALITY AUTOMOTIVE PARTS EXPERT MACHINE SHOP SERVICE WE'RE o f HEAD- HUNTERS SPECIALISTS IN CYLINDER HEAD RECONDITIONING ENGINE BLOCK RECONDITIONING CYLINDER HEAD CRACK REPAIRS BRAKE SERVICE (Disc or Drum) and QUALITY PARTS "Press Work" Phone 227-2141 201 Long Ave. 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. THINK RADIAL...

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. S-t-r-e-t-c-h your dollars.

Your last electric bill 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. 1 403 MONUMENT A n~hN~r Eat - pow ." RKIK7! e HonorUS D.A 12 Oz.
