A new development of pro-

County, according ,to infor-
mation given ito the County
Commission Tuesday.
Robert B. Nations, operator
of Florida Engineering here
in Port St. Joe applied foi
permission to go ahead with
a plat for the first phase of a
3,500:acre development in the
Indian Lagoon area. Nations
told the Board he had in-
structions to begin surveying
the subdivision immediately


if the County approved the
plan.
Nations said each lot in the
new development would be
slightly more than an acre in
area. The developers had
plans to dredge canals in the
area, none of which would
empty into the Gulf or Bay;
build their own streets and
pave them and provide for
their own drainage.
The engineer said each of
the canals would be at least

Brownie Troop 248-Second Prize


Large Crowd Sees Santa Parade


A.huge crowd turned out in
Port St. Joe Saturday morn-
ing to witness the annual
Christmas Parade sponsored
jointly by the Port St. Joe
Retail Merchants and the
Jaycees. The weather didn't
cooperate, however, and the
,rain began to come down just
as the parade was about


three fourths completed.
In spite of the cold and
rainy weather, a large par-
ade had been assembled with
some of the better floats
which have been entered in
the parade in recent years.
In the float judging, Xi
Epsilon Kappa took first


prize money in the non-
commercial category. Brow-
nie Troop 248 won second
place and the Pentecostal
Holiness Church had the third
place entry.
The Star photographer was
unable to get a picture of the

Other Editors Are Saying:


Cities Depend On Utility Tax


Despite the popular appeal
of Gov. Reubin Askew's pro-
posal that municipal taxes on
utility bills be eliminated or
reduced, the fact that it
would merely trade one class
of tax for another, and pro-
bably create legal complica-
tions, appears to negate its
possible benefits.

Shortages Strike Even


Santa Claus..


It might be interesting for you
to know that the shortages which
have plagued our nation in the past
few months, threatened to dampen
the spirits of Port St. Joe's Christ-
mas parade even more than the
rain did.
~ At the -last minute :it was
learned that the order placed for
wrapped cahdyito be thrown out for
the kids by Santa Claus couldn't be
filled because: of a shortage of
either the wrapper, the candy, or
the people to do the wrapping. But
a substitute was found and every-
thing proceeded as it should.
In spite of the rain which
started falling just as the parade
was beginning to wind down, it was
one of the better efforts put on
tore. The floats may not have been
a' numerous as they were in

Following the overwhelming
Democratic sweep of national and
state offices, Sen. Hubert Humph-
rey noted that, "If we don't per-
form we're going to be in trouble.
The American people want per-
formance. We're on the spot."
That's true for any party as
Republicans who were swept out of
office over thecountry found out.
Now the burden of proof has
largely been placed on the Demo-
cratic Party.
The real question now is: can
the Democrats do any better?
The Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Carl Albert, said
the election was "a repudiation of
the administration's approach and
an endorsement of the Democratic
approach." Given the wide diver-
sity of philosophies, among Demo-
crats, however, can anyone, includ-
ing Albert, defile that "Democratic
approach'?"

day and employs 120 people.
Freeman said future ex-
pansion plans would be
tied. to a decision to go into
the production of chemical
grades of magnicite. At pre-
sent, the' entire production is
used ii the manufacture of
fire brick for steel mill fur-
naces. 'We are a valuable
plant to our company for this
purpose," Freeman said,
"Since we have the only
inexhaustible source of raw
material." The firm uses sea
water and dolomite lime rock
in its manufacturing process.
Freeman siad plans are
now under way to increase
capacity to 300 tons per day
which,would be the absolute
maximum without major con-
struction. "This would be the
capacity of our present facil-
ities", he said.


That revenue from this tax
-if considerable, and of im-
portance to the operation of
municipalities, is evidenced
by Pensacola's budget which
reflects a potential $1.4 mil-
lion income from the utility
tax this fiscal year. much of
which is pledged to redetip-
tion of bond issues.
And even though Ogden
proposes earmarking $40 mil-
lion for state replacement

may be insurmountable.-
Of the two proposals. Og-
den's strikes us as the most
reasonable. It offers some
relief to those homeowners
who must have basic heating
and lighting facilities, while
still placing most of the bur-
den on those who actually use
the service--the industries.
and those whose bills are
high because they continue to
overuse air-conditioning, tele-
vision and appliances which
are more luxury than
necessity.

We're having a ball every Monday night at
7:00 p.m., out at the high school.
In case you didn't know; about 25 adults
have enrolled into an adult band and we
practice every Monday night. Even though, for
some of us, it has been 25 years or more since
picking up a horn, it's coming back fast.
This isn't to say we are playing perfectly.
This isn't to say we are playing even close to
perfect. This is only to say that, in spots, one
may recognize the tune we are attempting to
play. But, we'll get better. ,
We have a patient and sympathetic band
master in Karl Able, who also directs the
school band. He spends his Monday evenings
with us and is molding the rag tag bunch which'
showed up to join the band, into a performing
group.
We intend to play some concerts in the
early spring of next year.
Too, we can find a place for you if you
were in the band in past years and think you
might like to try it once again.

Politicians have always been fair game for
every columnist and editorialist in the country.
After the hearings on Mr. Rockefeller's nom-
ination to the Vice Presidency, I have started
to adpot almost a tolerant attitude toward
politicians.
Rocky gave away millions of his money as
gifts to this public servant and that one. He
loaned to others. We see public officials here in
Florida in trouble because they invested money
and others because they borrowed from friends
and the bank in order to buy a home in which
to live. Mr. Nixon and some of his aides were
put out of office for accepting loans as well as a
host of other things which weren't quite so
ordinary.
The question we have come up with which
causes us to begin to have this tolerant attitude
is this: if a politician can't borrow money from
a bank or friends and can't accept a gift with
no strings attached, where is he going to go
when his mule gets in a ditch? I know most
politicians on a state and national level make
pretty good salaries, but even the best of
managers get into a tight now and then.

Therefore. if anything is to
be done. Ogden's proposal
would be best. But. in light of
legal difficulties certain to be

Old Rocky was just being a Santa Claus to
those unfortunates who couldn't make the week
last until pay day.

I was sitting next to Dave May at the
Merchants' meeting last Friday at noon when T
began to put pepper sauce on my spinach.
Dave screwed up that peach fuzz he now has
sprouting on his upper lip, looked pained and
exclaimed, "You don't put pepper sauce on
spinach you put butter and salt on it." I
said a few words to Dave in reply to the fact
that he hadn't been but of New York long
enough to know what to eat; he only knew how
to eat. Everybody knows you put pepper sauce
on all kind of greens be it spinach, poke,
dandelion, turnips or collards.
Dave further endorsed my opinion of his
tastes when he later noted that about the only
thing he didn't like was left over lamb. He said
it just didn't taste good to him.
You see! He doesn't know anything about
food. Everybody knows there isn't enough to
lamb to have any left overs!

I almost laughed out loud the other day at
the harsh words Mr. Simon had for the
Canadians on the day of their announcement
that the United States would begin getting less
Canadian oil. Here are the Canadians, our good
neighbors to the North ever since we have been
a nation. Never any trouble. Always the best of
friends with one of the most loosely policed
borders in the world. They announce a 100,000
barrel a month cut in oil exports and we say
harsh things about them.
The Arabs, on the other hand, who cut us
.off completely, and have since been using the
$8.00 per barrel over its worth we have been
paying them for oil to buy up control over
business here in the United States. The latest
raid is on the food producing industry to insure
exports to their nation.
And what do we have for them in return?
We ask another friend, Israel, to move out of
territory taken in a war the Arabs started, so
the Arabs will think highly of us and ship us
more oil.
That's the craziest thing I ever heard of.

tinue the regular monthly

that the. Road Department

opposed this motion because
those employees worked for

this county looked to the
Board for the actions of its
employees and does not hold
the Supervisors responsible.

Supervisors were 'the ones
that the Board looked to for
production they should have
the final word in who to hire
and when to. fire. It was

would alter the policy. After.
further discussion, the follow-
ing voted Aye: Whitfield,
Money and Owens; Nay:
Player and the Chairman.

policy may require updating

sary changes in the personnel

State of Florida, that due to
the confinement of Honorable

Assessor, that she was
charged with completing the
1974 Tax Roll; that Mr.

lieved of the responsibility of
the 1974 Tax Roll. The Board

efforts in completing the roll
during the absence of Mr.
Patrick and said she is now

Opposition to Big River Dam


Winter

Fishing

Unique
Florida sportsmen know
that fishing has special char-
acteristics during winter
months. Discovering where
the fish are running during
this season ensures a good
catch for alert fishermen in
the state or those coming for
a holiday.
Offshore fishing slows down
along the Northwest Gulf
Coast of Florida during the
winter. Speckled trout is the
most popular fish from
Panama City to Pensacola
this time of the year followed
by redfish (channel bass).
Trout are found in the la-
goons, river mouths and
bayous during the cooler
months, as are redfish. In the
surf are cobia, pompano and
whiting.
Sheepshead and drum con-
gregate during this time
period in the inlets and
around bridges and piers.
Party boats limit their trips
mostly to the weekends or, if
the weather is unusually
warm, when" they have.
enough anglers to make the
trip pay. Red snapper fishing
is usually very good in the
winter if the fisherman
doesn't object to cold winds
on the open water.
The area south of Talla-
hassee produces large
catches of sheepshead in the .
springs, which empty into the
Gulf during cooler weather.
There is good fishing in these
same streams for trout and
redfish at this time of year.
Surf fishing is confined to
catching whiting. Late in the
winter striped bass start to
move out of the Intracoastal
Waterway into Lake Wimico
and the Chipola River north
of Port St. Joe. Usually at the
same time the Alabama Shad
shows up in the Chipola and
Apalachicola Rivers. In the
early spring stripers are
numerous below the Jim
Woodruff Dam near Chatta-
hoochee.

CARD OF THANKS
I would like to thank all of
the people that were so kind
to my wife, Cathy and our
daughter, Donna, during
their stay in the Municipal
Hospital. The service and

U. S. Rep. Robert Sikes
Monday made opposition to a
proposed dam on the Apa-
lachicola River unanimous
with the area's delegation in
Congress where the issue will
be finally decided.
"There is no justification
for a dam proposed by the
Army Corps of Engineers for
the Apalachicola River,"
Sikes wrote Pollution Control
Baord member John Robert
Middlemas.
"Let me assure you that I
have never supported the
dam near Blountstown."
Florida's senior Congress-
man said he wrote the letter
to Middlemas, a staunch con-
servationist, in an effort to
end an "unfounded" rumor
that he backed the dam.

He joins U. S. Sen. Lawton
Chiles, D-Lakeland, and Sen.
Elect Richard Stone, D-Talla-
hassee, who are already on
record opposing the dam de-
signed to provide a year-
round channel on the Apa-
lachicola River for upriver
-barge traffic to Georgia and
Alabama.
At a hearing in Marianna
last spring on a plan to buidl
four dams, Sikes said in a
letter he supported the engi-
neers' efforts to improve
navigation, but he backed no
specific plan.
The same stance was taken
by Alabama Gov. George
Wallace in a letter in which
he backed the dam if it did
not damage the environment.
The Marianna showdown, a
public eharing called by the
engineers, brought solid op-
position to dam proposals on
the Apalachicola which con-
nects the Flint and Chatta-
hoochee Rivers with the Gulf
of Mexico.
The mildest opposition
came from Congressman
Sikes who apparently had not
tested public opinion before
.the meeting and State Rep.
Wayne Mixson, D-Marianna,
who had just been instrumen-
tal in opening Florida's only
upriver port at Sneads in
Jackson County.
Mixson said he could not
Support the dam proposals,as
they were then. : '
Gov. Reubin Askew and
members of the Florida Cab-
inet joined Florida's conser-
vation community, seafood
interests at Apalachicola,
timber interests and city and
county representatives from
Blountstwon in opposing the

dam.
"It's Florida's river, not
Georgia's or Alabama's,"
said Atty. Gen. Robert
Shevin. He promised to bring
suit if any efforts were made
to damage the free-flowing
river:
Since then the Tri Rivers
Waterway Development
Association hired a. fulltime
public relations woman and
mounted a concerted drive to
water down the adamant
Florida opposition.
Last week some success in
the drive which focused on
economic benefits were
realized when the Liberty
County Commission 'and the
Bristol town council backed a
proposal to complete plan-
ning for a single lw-level
navigational dam. near
Blountstown.
Corps Engineer Drake Wil-
son says opposition, from
Florida's governor and the
Cabinet virtually defeats the.
dam proposals.
He said Congress, which
votes'monies for the con-
struction; is always reluctant
to oppose a governor on a
project in his state.
The Tri Rivers group has
hired the University of Ala-
bama to conduct an economic
survey, to point up benefits to
Florida counties albng the
river.
The recently formed North-
west Florida Water Manage-
ment District, headed by Cal-


vin Winter of Tallahassee, is
attempting to get federal ap-
proval for a $250,000 study of


the three rivers to make re-
commendations on the dam
proposal.

New Medicare Handbook Being Mailed


A new edition of Your Med-
icare Handbook is being
mailed to 23.5 million people
across the nation, according
to David P.Robinson, Social
Security. Field Representa-
tive for Gulf County.
"The new 1974 handbook is
smaller and easier to handle
than previous editions," Rob-
inson said. "A copy should be
in the hands of everyone who
has Medicare health care in-
surance protection by the end
of Noirember."

The completely new edition
is a result of major amend-

program in the past two
years.
"The new handbook ex-
plains in detail how Medicare
hospital and medical insur-
ance work," Robinson said.
"It tells what kinds of care
Medicare covers and how
much-Medicare pays for each
kind of care. It also tells
what Medicare does not
cover."


An index in the new hand-
book will help people quickly
locate information about a
particular Medicare subject,
Robinson noted.
"When people get their new
Medicare handbook, they
should throw away any old
editions they have," he said.
"They should keep the new
1974 edition where they can
find it when they need infor-
'mation about Medicare."

WESTINGHOUSE EXTRA VALUE APPLIANCES


i Ii t t dloul-
323 REID AVENUE



SArchie Griffin, Ohio State run.
ning back, has been awarded the
Heisman Trophy this year; beating
out another running back, Athony
Davis of So. Cal.
This trophy is awarded annually
to the.player chosen as the most
outstanding collegiate football
player in the country. As far back
as I can remember, only once. has
the award been given to someone
other than a running back or quar-
terback. That, to Leon Hart, Notre Dame tight end,
many years ago.
Given a little-thought, this isn't really too surprise
ing. Running backs. score touchdowns. They attract
attention; as do quarterbacks because they handle the
ball. Offenses are designed that way, and logically so.
Everyone. can't carry the ball. Running backs are
assigned that position because they are usually fast and
have a natural ability to elude would-be tacklers or the
strength to run through them. Quarterbacks normally
are selected because of their ability to handle the ball,
pass, and generally accept the role of offensive leader
on the field. Thus, these positions are in the spotlight.
Spectators watch the ball or the man With it.
But one day-, maybe just once, the Heisman will go to
some man up front. One of the guys who open the holes
for the running back or give the quarterback time to
pass. Some guy who no one notices; except when he
doesn't do his job. Wouldn't it be something, to see ;t go
to some one who never got his name in the paper, never
scored a TD, or even caught a pass.
I still believe iri-Santa Claus, but I doubt if even the
little fella in the red suit could deliver on that.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1974 THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla.


Third 4-H Horse Show


Deemed Huge Success


Wooden Toys


Safe for Kids


A radio commentator re-
cently noted in one of his syn-
dicated talks that of all the
toys his young daughter got
for her birthday, her favorite
was a simple stuffed animal.
Toys are getting more com-
plicated and expensive every
year. Stores are now stocked
to the ceiling with a dazzling
array, making selection by
the parent difficult and'
costly.
Behavioral scientists now
tell us that, contrary to the
mass of advertising on TV
and in magazines, simple
toys are the best for children.
The simpler the toy, the more
imagination and ingenuity
the child is able to supply.
His attention is held and his
mind is put to work.
Fortunately, there is a
magic material for simple
toys-wood. Toys made from
this material ,are inexpen-
sive, creative and safe.
According to many be-
havorists, a set of'wooden
blocks'is the best all-round
educational toy. Wood blocks
teach space and number con-


County

(Continued from Page 1)
ded that the County would
have been broke long ago if
they had not had a 20 percent
cash carry-over left from last
year.
"In addition," Core said
"We have received notifica-
tion from the State of Florida
that revenue is down in
funds from which we derive a
share, so several of our funds
will be short." Core said the
County has budgeted $77,939'
from state funds and indica-
tions are this amount will be
reduced by at least $10,000.
"This doesn't include gaso-
line taxes which pays for a
large portion of our Road
Department work", the Clerk
warned.
In a related item, County
Service Officer Albert
Thames again pressed .for a
decision as to whether or not
to make his office full time,
with Thames being hired as a
ful: time Service Officer;
Thames said such a move
would hike his budget from
$11,117 to $18,249 for the year.
The Board told Thames
they couldn't make a decision
on the matter until they had
a clearer picture of the fi-
nancial situation for the com-
ing year.
BEVERAGE SALES
Attorney William J. Rish
advised the Board, the state
no longer sets business hours
for dealers in alcoholic bev-
erages. "It is now the re-
sponsibility of every county
to set its own business hours
or it will be legal for these
merchants to remain open 24
hours a day, seven days a
week, if they so desire", Rish
said.
The Board decided to adopt
another ordinance to add to
the three they have already
passed, and require alcoholic
beverage dealers to abide by
the closing hours formerly re-
quired by the state. The new
ordinance would require clos-
ing at 1:00 a.m., and all day
Sunday.


Three BR, 2 bath, DR,
kitchen & family room, laun-


cepts, as well as structural
relationships. They also are
practically indestructible, ob-
serves the Division of Fores-
try, Florida Department of
Agriculture and Consumer
Services.
Wooden toys'are about as
safe as any that can be
found. During -the past two
years.,, since toy safety has
been stressed by consumer
organizations and parents'
groups, many manufacturer's
have had to withdraw toys
from the stores because they
are unsafe.
But these toys represent
only a small part of the
potentially dangerous toys
still on: the market. Ironically
enough, a metal badge de-
signed to be worn to promote
safety in toys has just been
withdrawn from the market.
It had a sharp edge and a
clasp that were deemed
hazardous.

To6ys made of wood do not
have harp edges or pointed
(andBreakable) parts of the
more complicated toys. And
the smooth, grained finish is
psychi.ogically good for the
child to handle, according to
behaviorists.

Many imaginative toys are
made Hf wood, including
blocksEp'uzzles and trains.
"he childl-an play with these
long afer robots are rusted
away or-forgotten.
Wooden toys represent a
real: bargain. They provide
safe, challenging play for
children, they are easy on the
parent's pocketbook and they
encourage efficient use of our
resources.

60 feet wide and five feet
deep and would be stocked
with fresh water fish.
The new subdivision is lo-
cated adjacent to State Road

The Board took the request
under study and. will offer a
decision at the next meeting.

ty Board:

The Florida Highway
Patrol this -week warned
party-going drinking drivers
that alcoholic beverages can
mar the holiday season for
many motorists, because the
chance of being involved in a
fatal accident increases after
that first drink.
Colonel Eldrige Beach,
director of the Patrol said,
"In fatal accidents occurring
during the month of Decem-
ber last year, records indi-
cate that 73 drivers had been
drinking."
Some people have the mis-
taken idea that alcoholic bev-'
erages stimulate the drinker.
On the contrary, it depresses
the central nervous system
and retards a person's nor-
mal faculties. Only the body
processes can overcome the
effects of alcohol and that
takes time.
Florida's traffic law re-
quires drivers arrested for
driving while intoxicated to
submit to a chemical test for
sobriety or be subject to
license suspension for a
period of three months. Not
only does the drinking driver
increase his chances of being
'involved in an accident but
the Patrol warned he will
also lose his driving privi-
leges upon conviction.
In stressing the dangers of
drinking and driving, Colonel
Beach said, "If you are going
to drink, make arrangements
to let someone else who is not
drinking do the driving."

the future role of American

Plants A Cause of Canceri



Don't You Ever Believe It!


By: Pamela Marshall
Horticulture Writer
University of Florida
An article entitled "Plants
that Can Cause Cancer" was
recently published in the
"National Enquirer". Before
anyone becomes upset let me
say that none of the plants.,
listed are known to cause
cancer. The use "of sensation-
alism caused mary people to
believe false facts and be-
come unduly alarmed.
I asked Dr. Daniel B. Ward
of the University of Florida


Herbarium if he had heard-
anything about these plants
causing cancer. He said that
the plants mentioned all be-
longed to the Euphorbiaceae
family and one of the most
common weeds in Florida
gardens. Chamaesyce
(spurge), belongs to the same
family yet he has not heard
of a greater incidence of can-
cer among gardeners. He'
also noted that the so-called.
research as stated in the
article was invalid.
The article talks about 're-


search' with carcinogens. I
contacted Dr. Charles L. Cu-
sumano M. D., Head of Oco-
logy in the College of Medi-
cine at the University of Flor-
ida for his comments on the
article. He stated "No conclu-
sion can be derived concern-
ing the carcinogenic effect of
the plant substances in the
article. .There was no group
which -got the carcinogen
alone without the plant ex-
tract. .No conclusion can be
drawn since a proper control
using carcinogen alone was
not run."
"There are many sub-
stances including such mun-
dane materials as mineral-oil
and plastic sheeting that will
produce cancer in laboratory
animals under appropriate
circumstances. These cir-
cumstances or conditions are
very much different from the
conditions under which the
substances are ordinarily en-
countered."
The plants listed in the
article do cause skin irrita-
tion or a rash if the sap
comes in contact with the
skin of sensitive people. The
article said mice received
weekly applications for 13
weeks after the application of
a carcinogen. That means
people would first have to
coat their skin with a carci-


nogen- such as tar and nico-
tine then weekly 'rub'.the sap
into the same area on the
skin. It would be similar to
giving yourself poison ivy
every week for three months.
Not many people would in-
flict such jain on themselves.
Dr. Saffiotti of the Carcino-
genesis National Cancer In-
stitue who was 'quoted' in the
article as agreeing with the.


information has stated he
was misquoted. He has re-
leased the following state-
ment; "To our knowledge'
there do not exist at this time
any well documented studies'
which would allow us to conh-
clude that the normal eii'
vironmental contacts betweeti
man and the plants arouid'
him result in an increased
cancer incidence."


Dr. Wesley Grace, of Port
St. Joe, has been appointed
as liasion coordinator for this
area for the 52nd Annual
Southern Educational Con-
gress of Optometry to be held
in Atlanta, February 14-18.
The meeting registered
nearly 3,400 persons, largest
attendance ever reported at
an optometric meeting any-'
where, when held last Feb-
ruary. Some 45 states were
represented.
The local optometrist has
been appointed to represent
the Congress in this area in
helping provide information
and assistance in expediting
arrangements for those plan-
ning to attend.
