At Monday night's meeting, County Commissioner Everett Owens, Jr., was named tem- porary chairman., The new Board of Directors is: made up of representatives of organi- zations throughout the county. One of the items of business for the new directors will be' to consider increasing the size of the Board of Directors; or maybe reducing its size to get a better cross-section representation' on the -'governing board. Another thing to. be taken up \ ill be the length of service of directors, which has been suggested' at tiwo years. At present, there are eight on the Board with two more members to be named: one each by the Jaycees and the Ministerial Association. The pres- ent members include: Richard Zyski, Frank Hannon, Jerry Sullivan, Everett Owens, Jr., Wesley R. Ramsey, Otis Walker, Bobby Jackson and W. B. McCroan.

A short memorial service was.held in St. Clair Funeral Home Chapel Saturday even- ing conducted by the Rev. J. C. Odum. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at 2:00 p.m. in.the Harwell Funeral Home Chapel in Covington, Georgia with the Rev. J. C. Odum officiating. Burial was in the Starrsville, Georgia cemetery. Survivors include his wife, Mrs. Jewell Walton of Port St. Joe; two sons, Thomas W. Walton of Covington, Ga. and Ralph W..Walton of Port St. Joe; six grandchildren and two great grandchildren. All local arrangements were under the direction of the St. Clair Funeral Home. Acting on instructions from the City Commission, Clerk Charles Brock and City At- torney William J. Rish had figures to show the Board Monday night, as to how much money will be avail- able under a revised utility tax ordinance. The reason for the investi- gation is that the City lacks about $75,000 a year income from the utility tax fund to support a $2.8 million bond issue for sewer and water improvements. The City wishes to pledge the utility tax income for repayment of the bonds, along with revenue profits from the water and sewer services. At present, there is a $6.00 maximum on utility taxes. The tax is applied to the utility bill. at a rate of 10 per cent until the $6.00 maximim is reached. Any utility ser- vice used in excess of $60.00 per month is tax free. In their investigation,' the Clerk and Attorney reported the City could increase their income in utility taxes charg- ed against electricity by $32,- 000 a year if the lid, is lifted. St. Joe Natural Gas Company reported an additional $68,000 could be counted on from gas Utsae No report was made on telephone service or fuel oil. . SCommissioner Gerald Sul- : iivan suggested the Board look further for their financ- ing stating that Sylvachem and St. Joe Paper Company would be paying for the wa- ter and sewer improvements, due to their heavy usage of natural gas as a fuel. Mayor Frank Pate urged the Board members to con- tinue to give the question some study so a decision could be made in the near future. VARIANCE GRANTED Reluctantly, the Commis- sion granted a variance in the building code for a home being built in Block 1021 in North Port St. Joe. But the variance wasn't granted be- fore some changes were made in the method of grant- ing building permits. The variance was made because the City made an error in granting the permit Sin the first place. Clerk Brock admitted he made the mis- take by hastily examining the plans to see if they met specifications. An error was made in adding up the square footage of the home. Now, as a result of the variance, the City will re- quire blueprints for new homes to remain in the Clerk's office for 48 hours,. allowing plenty of time to adequately inspect the pa- pers. Brock said the zoning or- dinance called for this prac- tice, but he had been waiving the procedure since most peo- ple are in a hurry for ap- proval when they bring the plans to him. "No more," Brock said. "We'll keep the plans for the specified time to try and see this doesn't hap- pen again." Contractor Wade Barrier was present at the meeting to object to the zoning variance, but the Commission granted it over the objection since they felt they were at fault for the builder starting his construction with the wrong permit. PROPERTY ASSESSMENTS Procedures. got underway Tuesday night for placing assessments againts .lots on Juniper and Cypress Avenues between 20th and 22nd Streets to install water and sewer services. Estimates are that the in- stallation would cost approx- imately $38,000 for installa- tions to the 48 lots involved. 'Each lot would be assessed approximately $625 each.. A hearing will be held at the regular meeting of Feb- ruary 4 in preparation to selling the debentures. Liens against the property will guarantee repayment. POT POURRI In other items 6f business, the Commission: Again postponed a request for final payment on the incinerator at the Wastewa- ter Treatment Plant. The payment was refused be- cause the incinerator still isn't operating properly. Op- erator Curtis Lane said the incinerator had been working for about a week and "had just started -to burn" when the fire bricks fell out. Commissioners Coldewey and Roberts and Mayor Pate, along with Clerk Brock made arrangements to attend the Pre-Legislative Conference of the Florida League of Cities in Tallahassee March 10 and 11. Attorney Rish reported the deed had been drawn -up conveying the baseball sta- dium over to ownership by the Gulf County School Board. He said he expected to receive a deed for the old Washington High School pro- perty within the next two weeks.

They Smelled Something Hot The ladies smelled some- thing burning and saw, smoke, 'so they called the Fire Department Tuesday af- ternoon. The ladies were in Aliene's Beauty' Salon getting their hair fixed up and the smoke and smell came from a burned out ballast in a neon light fixture. The burned out' ballast smells just like a serious fire and they can smoke up a room in a hurry. The ladies did what they should-called the fire department and let them find out it was a smol- dering light fixture rather than a serious fire.

Pat- irick is circulating a petition asking ".for a $10,000 homestead exemption in order to provide tax relief for the property owner. It's to Patrick's credit that he is at least trying to, do something to ease the tax burden, but it will be to no avail. The tax burden will still be there a:nd must be paid. Therefore, it doesn't matter what the property f. i ax exemption is, the dollars must come from the tax payer. ; A good example of this can be : found in the revaluation of property o, br taxing purposes this past year. Taxing governments in Gulf S.County made much over the fact that they were collecting no addi- SIional local tax dollars this year. W n the other hand, the, property S 'aluations, for the;nmost part; were Increased, making the property . more susceptible to taxing. While Swe haven't examined the tax rolls, we suspect that there are very few Instances where valuations were reduced in the equalization process. Taking all this into considera- tion, the average tax bill should have dropped since there was a wider base from" which to collect the same number of dollars. Yet tax bills went upi. Eplain that one if you can. We feel the same' situation would apply with increased exemp- tions. While it would sound good for a while to think that the first $10,000 value of' our homes were exempt, when the tax bills came in, it would be the same old story-in- creased billing. The tax dollar must come to finance the. programs to which we have become committed. The only way to reduce the tax bill is to reduce the tax utilization or spending. Since every tax sup- ported service touches some size- able segment of;our society in an intimate way, itv will be almost i impossible to easily ctt'any present spending. So, let's not fool ourselves about this tax bit. There is no easy way to have what we demand. It must be paid for and, as Edward Ball says, "Nobody pays taxes but the people." Ancient Athens More Like Us Although it is more fashionable to compare the decline of U.S. power and influence in the world with the prolonged decline and fall of Rome, a better comparison may perhaps be found in ancient Athens. SAuthor-journalist William Gill drew the analogy in a recent radio program by the American Security Council. Gill pointed out that America has never really resembled Rome because we are not a militant, - imperialist power bent on world conquest. We are more like Athens, which was a mercantile state and which became the most prosperous country in the world of its day and the envy of all other nations. Its SGolden Age, under Pericles, came after it led the Greeks in defeating the Persian invaders': Then came the Peloponnesian War with Sparta. Sparta attacked first. The Athenian fleet prevailed at sea, but every time Athens won an advantage, the Spartans called a peace conference while they con- tinued to build up their own navy. The athenians ,were defeated at Syracuse, and the Spartans sailed their new fleet boldly against Ath- ens' client cities, capturing one after the other until they ultimately forced the surrender of Athens itself. "It is not difficult," says Gill, "To pinpoint the similarities in Athens vs. Sparti and America vs. the Soviet Union. The three dec- ades since World War II have been our Peloponnesian War, and you can take your pick as to whether Korea or Vietnam was our Syra- cuse. While America focused on these two sideshows, Russia built a powerful navy and the world's most formidable nuclear striking force. Fortunately, the final act has not yet been played out in the tragedy. There is still tremendous energy in our country. America may never be another Rome, but it need not repeat the folly of Athens, either." Other Editors Say: Continue Marijuana Sanctions Last November the Depart- Sment of Health, Education Sand Welfare said in a lengthy Report on marijuana that the Drug has "serious implica- tions" for a user's physical Sand psychological health. This week a group of scien- Stists, convened by the non- -government Drug Abuse :Council, discussed these .health aspects of marijuana and their implications for .public drug policy. The scien- tists shied from, taking a black-and-white position link- ing the drug's health hazard potential and penalties for its use. They indicated it would take another four or five years to make a reliable as- sessment of the impact of marijuana on health and be- havior. They suggested the public, in the meantime, rely on its own judgment in deter- mining marijuana use policy. Significantly, this week's Drug Abuse Council session did not effectively allay the concerns raised by the HEW study about marijuana's potential dangers. It seems only prudent, then, if several years" study are needed, to continue sanctions against the spread of marijuana use. This is not to suggest that there need be no change in current laws affecting mari- juana possession and sale. A .realistic national policy has yet to be set by Congress. In general, such policy should remain tough on the sellers and movers of marijuana. But consistency and a sense of proportion need to be PAGE TWO If the latest legislative ail- ment of Rep. Billy Joe Rish of Port St. Joe should happen to prove contagious, it just might be that Florida could get back to a Legislaturf of and legislation by legislators rather than by staff. Rish. who is serving! as, chairman of the House Judi- ciary Committee, announced last week he plans to reduce the staff to just two persons brought to the often dracon- ian. largely unenforceable, and widely varying penalties against users. President Ford's chief adviser on drugs. Robert DuPont, has expressed interest in Ore- gon's marijuana approach. The state has continued its official disapproval of mari- juana use by making pos- session a civil rather than criminal violation, carrying a fine instead of a prison penalty. Dr. DuPont holds that "il- legality is clearly a deterrent to large numbers of potential for the months the Legisla- ture is not in session. Under the permanent staff- ing concept that started when annual sessions became the vogue in 1969, committee staffs have been growing. Some of the employees have had enough work to keep them reasonably busy from June to March, but too many of them have had little more to do than socialize. users." Despite estimates that one in 10 Americans has tried marijuana: its use is not so widespread that attempts to contain it are of no avail. The growth curve of cigarette use in America, for instance, has been signifi- cantly checked by public ef- forts to curb smoking. It could be injurious to millions of individuals to cast aside the possible benefits of public forms of disapproval of mari- juana use, and the public should ease such restraints only warily. -Christian Science Monitor. ETAOIN SHRDLU by WESLEY R. RAMSEY JC's In the Training Business The Jaycee organization is unique, in that it is the only civic organization in the world that offers any young man, between the ages of 18 and 35, leadership training through community develop- ment. The Jaycee movement is different from other organi- zations. In the Jaycees there are no occupational classifi- cations to determine mem- bership, the membership is not limited to size, and 100 per cent attendance is not required. This means that there can be no questions of a man's eligibility in the Jaycees, re- gardless of how he makes his living. - Young men ranging in their work from presidents of cor- porations to service station attendants can, and do, work side by side in the -organiza- tion. As a result all learn and benefit from it. No other civic group in the world has purposed as broad as the Jaycees. A Jaycee chapter exists for two pri- mary reasons, to serve com- munity, state and nation and to offer leadership training to its members. Any activity which can help further either or both of these ends is appropriate for the Jaycees. The broad purpose of the Jaycees, along with its dis- tinctive 18-35 year age limita- tions, have led to the develop- ment of a bold approach to service. As young men, Jaycees oc- casionally make mistakes by attempting more than they can finish. Usually, however, they surprise the leaders of other civic clubs by actually doing those tasks that others are reluctant to try. The reason so many Jaycee chapters embark upon con- troversial projects, ones which other organizations pass by, is because Jaycees would rather rock the boat than miss it. Human Factors 75% 832% Causes Of 507% Auto Accidents 2570 Environment / 16.4% Vehicle F4.276 DRIVER ERRORS cause the vast majority of automobile accidents-83.2%-according to a new study made for the U.S. Department of Transportation by an Indiana Uni- versity research group. Environmental factors, such as slick roads, cause 16.4%. Vehicular factors, such as faulty brakes, under- inflated or bald tires, account for only 4.2%. Properly maintained tires did not cause a single one of the 1.305 accidents investigated by the Institute for Re- search in Public Safety. The above figures total over 100% because some acci- dents had more than one cause. Mr- MC J ,lrI br1.vnllr n Inc Division of Parks Aims Its Interest At Our Peninsula Jim Pierce, Chief of the Bureau' of Plans, Programs and Services for the Division of Parks, told the Port St. Joe Rotary Club last Thursday it would only be a matter of time before the finalization of the purchase of the Apalachicola River basin. He said also, hearings would begin in lFebruary on arriving at the decision of whether or not the State of Florida will begin negotiations to purchase the Southern part, of St. Joseph's Peninsula. Pierce pointed out that the State has issued $200 million worth of bonds to purchase what they consider endangered lands, for environmental protection. Already over $90 million has been authorized for purchase, including the purchase of the Apalachicola River flood plain of some 16,000 acres. .,.Of the Apalachicola purchase, Pierce said, "We don't know yet how much of the Apalachicola Valley will be needed to protect the seafood industry at Apalachi- cola. We're trying to determine that fact now and feel this initial purchase will give us.more information in this matter", Pierce said. "One thing I do know," he said, "I am opposed to any more dams on the River". Pierce pointed out that the river was responsible for preserving the delicate nu- trient balance in the Bay to preserve the seafood cycle which abounds there. He said the Bay was unique in its source of food for sea animals. Pierce said the purchase would be consummated as soon as a survey is complete to see if the State already owns part of the River lands. INTERESTED IN PENINSULA Pierce went on to say his department was now considering the purchase of the southern portion of St. Joseph's Peninsula to maintain the balance of nature in that vicinity both in St. Joseph's Bay and the Peninsula itself as a breakwater for the mainland. "The shoreline is constantly changing and very delicate", Pierce said, "and we feel if anything is done to seriously disturb it, disaster will result." The speaker said purchase of the Penin- sula had been initiated by the State and that several of the landowners had already approached the State to sell. He said there had been no support for the purchase from the Port St. Joe area. A hearing will be held in the Gulf Countyourthouse on this matter, Monday, February 17 to get local feeling on the matter. Guest of the club was Carl Pettaway of Apalachicola. There also has been a great deal of impermanency among some of the committees, a situation that has changed since the economic situation has radically reduced the ease with which a secretary or aide could move from one job to another. A couple of years ago I went to a House committee office to see if a report of a study made for the past ses- sion of the Legislature was available. No one on the staff had been there eight months earlier, knew a study had been made, or was familiar enough with the files to know where to look. A visit to the offices of a second House committee was equally productive. Ditto for a Senate commit- tee. where all staffers also were new. A secretary who had moved from that committee to another recalled having seen the report. Though she tried, she was of no help because the filing system had been changed. Still the Legislature con- tinued to function, as it al- ways will. Rish, in his announcement, said he believed it was an un- necessary expenditure of tax dollars to have excess staff members employed year- round. It sounded like Jason Arch- imedes, the retired scuba diver, had volunteered his services as a consultant and Rish had accepted. "When things start gearing up, then is the time to fill out the staff," said the legislator. "Full staff year-round is not a sound practice, especially when a full staff is needed only two or three months out of a year. .When we go home, the staff goes home." If such an attitude is catch- ing, it could prove of great benefit. Employees who have had nothing better to do than to think up weird legislative proposals while passing the time will not be as promi- nent. Legislators might get back to what they are elected and paid to do-legislate. In re- cent years, particularly in the House, power has become so concentrated in a few members and their staffs that a great many represen- tatives were along just for the ride. And it wasn't really their fault-it was the sys- tem. The number of foul-ups in laws which came out of the 1974 session are a pretty good indication of how little atten- tion was given to business by all concerned. The Organization of State Governments and other national outfits that have been trying to make all legis- latures alike, tailoring them to a uniformity that doesn't necessarily fit the individual state, probably will look upon Rish as a reactionary-and Rish probably will agree, but his ailment should be ,pur- sued. Everette Williard Florida Times-Union I read in the paper a couple of weeks ago where one of the Democratic Congressmen was quoted as saying he felt the Democrats had a mandate from the people, since so many Democrats were elected to office. The Congressman may have been right. It's just possible the people. of the United"States gave the Democrats a mandate. Then, again, it's just possible the people (the minority who voted) may have been casting a "nay" vote when they gave the Democrats a "yea" vote. It seems to me it would be the prudent thing for the Democrats to do to remember what happened to the last people who felt they had a mandate from the people. This would be especially good to remember at this time when they are drawing up their priorities to fight inflation and recession. The mail brought an 'annual report from the Florida Heart Association the other day. I was sitting at the desk Saturday morning idly thumbing through the report when I came across an item which showed the percentage of deaths in each county caused by cardio-vascu- lar reasons. Did you know that 49.5 per cent of the deaths in Gulf County in 1973 were caused from heart disease? That's just a tad under half. It was also interesting to note that 28 of the 67 counties in the state had even greater percentages of heart disease deaths than did Gulf. Flagler county had the highest score with 69.1 per cent of their deaths related to heart disease. Most every county in: this area has around the same incidence of heart disease related deaths with the exception 'of Washington county which has .a .whopping 64.8 per cent of its deaths caused by this reason. When I got home from church Sunday night, there was old Frank Sinatra and Gene Move by Bill Rish Would Put Legislators Back in the Business of Legislating Says T. U. Columnist Williard Kelley dancing on the TV just like they were still quite a few years in front of their sixties rather than being nearly in the middle. It recalled to my mind about 12 years ago, when the Port St. Joe Kiwanis Club was planning one of the minstrel shows they used to produce. The Kiwanians asked Hubert Rich- ards to do one of his tap dances for the show and Hubert declined with the excuse, "I'm getting too old for that sort of stuff". Hubert just may have been getting too old back then, but if someone should offer him as much money right now to bring his tap dance act out of the mothballs as they paid Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelley last Sunday evening, I'm sure he could reactivate those old tired muscles and tap dance up a storm. I've never tap danced a day in my life, but I believe I could learn for that kind of scratch. As a matter of fact, when you come right down to it, I believe I would crawl into the ring with either-or Muhammad Ali or George Foreman for the kind of money they drew out of their Zaire fight. I might even take on both at once. I can't really see President Ford's plan to mail the tax payers of the nation a tax refund this year in order to prime the economic pump. In the first place the rebate isn't going to be enough to help to much of a degree. In the second place, Uncle Sugar has to borrow the money to give the rebate which we will all repay in taxes in the future. After interest and handling charges, we will probably have to repay $2.00 for every $1.00 we get. There's no percentage in that. It would make more sense if the budget were cut by that amount if the treasury can stand it and let the people keep, the money rather than sending it back. Also a crash effort to balance the federal budget seems more important for curing our economic problems than does going further into debt. ;s' Ly; . a PACE THREE THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla.

The match was won by Basic-Sylvachem team with 448 points over St. Joe Paper Company's 446 points. The winning team members ex- pressed a good team effort. High man for Basic-Sylva- chem was Ed Creamer with 58 points. Bill Whaley was high for St. Joe Paper with 50 points. $20,000 Exemption On Intangibles Florida intangible taxpay- ers will receive a substantial tax break this year, accord- ing to the Department of Re- venue, and the 1975 Intangi- ble tax is due now. Each person filing may claim a $20,000 exemption. A husband and wife filing joint- ly may claim $40,000 even if only one of them actually owns the intangibles. Only individuals are entitled to the exemption. Businesses and fi- duciaries may not claim this exemption. The Department has mail- ed returns to approximately 280,000 individual taxpayers. They are instructed to list and value their intangible property using December 31st stock market prices, then deduct the exemption. The tax is due at the rate of $1.00 per $1,000 on the re- maining assets. No payment is required if the individual's tax computes to $5.00 or less. 72 PINTO 72 CHEVROLI The Sharks continue to give a good account of themselves on the hardwood court, but, again this week, it was a * losing battle, as the local five lost twice in three outings.

North Carolina State, who upset (?) the Bruins in the finals of the NCAA tourney last year was the early leader. But after losing to Wake' Forest and Maryland, have been replaced by Indiana. The talent through the colleges, seems to be more balanced, at this time, than in the past. There doesn't seem to be any one team, that is so obviously superior to the others. True, the teams with the tradition behind them are still there; and in all probability the ACC still has the best all around conference, but this year I have a feeling any one of several could finish on top. Not .since Adolph Rupp's prime years at Kentucky has an SEC team been given even an outside chance of seriously challenging for the NCAA title. And maybe the experts don't think so this year either. But the Alabama club is maturing fast and could just surprise some people before the season ends. Though Rupp is gone, Kentucky is still here and has a fine team as usual. But if you want to have someone to "root" for, pull for Auburn with its predominantly freshman squad. They could be a lot of fun.

Those Eligible Can Sign Up for Medicare's Medical Insurance Plan thru March 31 People who didn't sign up for Medicare medical insur- ance when they first became eligible or who have cancel- led the protection once can enroll now through March 31 at any social security office, according to David P. Robin- son, Social Security Fie)d Representative, for Gulf County. Medicare medical insur- ance is offered automatically to people who reach 65 and are eligible for social secur- 'ity benefits-and to disabled people under 65 who have been' entitled to monthly social security, disability benefits for 24 consecutive months or more. Nine out of 10 people are enrolled in the program, according to Robin- son. "But some people decline the protection when they're first eligible," he said. "And some sign up once and cancel later: They can enroll in the first three months of any year." The medical insurance helps pay doctor bills and - other medical expenses and is the voluntary part of Medi- carei funded by individual- premiums and Federal gen- eral revenues. The basic pre- miurn is $6.70 a month through June -1975. "People who decline Medi- care: medical insurance and delay signing up for more than'a year pay a higher pre- miumn," Robinson noted. "People who sign up and cancel later can re-enroll only once." The medical insurance sup- plements Medicare hospital insurance. Hospital insurance is funded by social security contributions from workers, employers and self-employed -people. "People 65 and over who are not eligible for social security benefits can apply at any social security office and get Medicare hospital insur- ance by paying a premium," Robinson said. "The basic premium is $36 a month through June 1975-and they must also sign up for the medical insurance," he said. People who have worked long enough under social security can get Medicare hospital and medical insur- ance for themselves and their family if they have chronic kidney disease and need a kidney transplant or dialysis. Medicare is administered by the Social Security Admin- istration, an agency of the U. S. Department of Health, .Education and Welfare. The Panama City social security office is located at 1316 Har- rison Avenue. The phone number is 769-4871. uc Sarah Herring Bowlg Dean's List Miss Sarah Claire Herrin I I of Port St. Joe, has bee |I named to the 1974 Dean's Lis | 3 for the fall quarter at Baude Fashion College of Atlants Georgia.

Edenfield County Forester Valuable as they are, Flor- ida's pines have many ene- mies. Last year, roughly two per cent of each acre of pines in Florida died from insects or blight. The greatest damage is done by small blackish beetles known as Ips bark beetles or Ips engraver bee- tles. Usually, the first indica- *tions 'of Ips attacks are masses of pitch and boring dust on the trunk of the tree. The pitch masses at the entry holes are about the size of a nickel, and these invaders tool networks of tunnels and galleries in the tree's cam- bium. All ages and sizes of pines _,,are subject to -attacks by these insects. Infestations oc- cur more frequently, though, in overmature trees, or trees that have been injured by lightening, ice, storm and -flooding. It is wise to cut such trees and utilize them or spray or burn them to pre- vent fullscale epidemics in a stand of trees or in a neigh- borhood. The black turpentine bee- tle, which is attracted to resin, often does damage where there have been naval stores operations or where- fires or fresh tree wounds have made trees exude gum. In recent years, this' insect has been becoming more pre- valent in Florida. Control is with spraying of wounds, ex- cept directly on active naval stores tree faces. The Southern pine beetle has caused considerable damage in the other Southern states, but has caused very little damage to Florida's pine trees, according to Char- les W. Chellman, Forest En- tomologist for the Division of Forestry, Florida Depart- ment of Agriculture and Con- sumer Services. . A list of threats to pine. trees would have to include the pine tip moth (which causes severe damage to ter- minal buds and leaders), pine cone moth, twig and am- brosia beetles, turpentine borer and the pine needle scale. The Southern pine saw- yer is always a threat to cut logs held in storage..While it doesn't amount to very much danger in living trees, the pine saywer may cause ser- ious degrade to lumber cut from infested trees. (Rapid utilization of dead and dying trees and green logs v.ill reduce deterioration and' losses from this beetle.) Your County Forester will be glad to help you if you suspect a pine insect pro- blem, or need forestry infor- mation. He can be contacted. at Division of.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 1975 PAGE NINE Too Much Water Can Cause Your Favorite Potted Plant Foliage to Wilt and Droop By: Pamela Marshall Horticultural Writer University of Florida "My plant looks wilted but I water it everyday." This is a common problem and is the result of overwatering. Watering is one of the most important cultural practices in growing foliage plants and many factors effect how much and how often to water a plant. Water is not the only im-, portant substance supplied by the soil media: The roots also require oxygen to breathe. It is the balance between these two substances that is im- portant in the soil. If there is only air and no water, the roots dry out and the plant dies., If there is only water and no air the roots drown. Lack of oxygen effects the chemical processes in the cell which effects the ability of the cell to take up water and the plant absorbs less 'water. Therefore, if the soil remains too wet the plant will look Smokey Says: TANKS FOR HELPING PREVENT FOREST FIRES TAIS PAST YEAR /_., Help keep up Smokey's good report. wilted. Plants can survive brief periods of water satu- rated soil without injury. However, if the soil remains too wet for too long the roots are injured and often the plant becomes -diseased. Even if the plant does not become diseased, if it re- mains waterlogged it :will suffocate. Never allow soils to be- come completely dry between watering, but do not let them remain completely, saturated. Water thoroughly when you water, be sure excess water can drain from the pot. The amount of water you use and how often you water will depend on the temperature, humidity, air movement, soil, containers, plant size, ';nd light intensity. If the temper- ature is high, the air dry, the light intensity high; and the plant large enough compared to the pot, you will have to water more frequently than if the reverse is true. The container and potting media greatly effect water- ing. Good drainage. is im- portant so that the roots do not remain in water. A porous soil such as two parts peat, one part perlite, one part sand is best. It is also advantageous to pot in a con- tainer that has drainage, holes. If you wish to use a decorative container that does not have drainage you should layer gravel in the bottom under the soil to allow for drainage. A better solu- tion is to pot the plant in a pot with drainage and place this pot on a layer of gravel inside the. decorative contain- er. You can then remove the smaller pot to water and let it drain before replacing it. The quality of water is also important. Wate. that has been run through a water softening unit often is high in sodium and should not be used to water plants. Fluo- ride will cause the leaf tips of many plants to turn brown. Many Florida water supplies are either high in natural floride or are fluorinated. Dracaenas, maranta, spider plant and ti plant are very sensitive to fluoride injury and should be watered with rain water or distilled water to prevent browning of leaf tips and edges.

Copter Rides Being Made Available Many people have viewed. the beauty and wonders 'ofi Gulf County from the high- ways and country lanes tht . traverse the area and many, have viewed the splendors:f:: its natural environment fr6m' the rivers, streams and lakes,. but how many have had the opportunity to view all thiiS wonderland from the air. If the Port St. Joe Kiwanis Club has its say, everyone. will be given the opportunity' to "look down" on this great display of God's grace and. man's progress during Gulf. County's Golden Anniversary celebration June 6-14 this.. year. This industrious and: civic minded group of menii will sponsor helicopter rideS. over the area during the gigantic 50th anniversary party. While it is nice to be able to look up, sometimes it is just as interesting to look down, and view the frontier coast with its beautiful blue water and white sandy beach- es, and see the network of rivers and lakes that make up the Apalachicola River system. The Port St. Joe Kiwanis membership will also sponsor a circus and a motorcycle contest during the nine day affair. This active group is to be commended, not only for their grand support of this celebration, but also for their many civic contributions to the community, each year.
