THIRTY-EIGHTH YEAR, NUMBER 27 Industry --Deep Water Port Fine People Safest Beaches in Florida PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA', THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 1975 Covetin City Employees c5 / y* City Agrees to Purchase ' Radar Gun' Mayor Frank Pate asked the City Commission to call for bids on the purchase of a "radar gun" at the City Commission meeting Tues- day night! Pate pointed out the City has had numerous complaints of speeding in various parts of the City and pointed out it was almost impossible to adequately clock speeders, and harder still to catch a speeder in the act when they see the police car coming. He pointed out that the device would allow a patrolman to stand beside the road, aim the "radar gun" at a vehicle and record its speed, thus having speeding. evidence. the practice of the. garbage men of collecting garbage so early in the morning. It seems the garbage men are as quiet as church mice in their collection duties, but when they come around in the wee hours of the morning, they disturb dogs and the resulting howl of the dogs causes consternation with those trying to sleep. The garbage men start work so early to get through early since they have made their day when they get through making their rounds. -' commission instructed Dorton Hadden, supervisor of this operation, to'request his men not to go into the resi- deantial area hobfrer 7:0nn a m Roy Robinson, assistant chief, said the device would The early pick-up will still be chief, said the device would all, ^ ^ be especially effective allowed in the business dis- be especially effective against the problem of speed- trict. ing pulpwood trucks which In other action the, Board: have been a source of com- < plaints recently.

The Board agreed to assist in finding .office space for a veterinarian who wishes to practice in Port St. Joe. Mayor Pate said a Dr. Robert S. Titus had contacted him with a request that the Commission aid him in find- ing a place to hold clinics during the week. The Board' agreed to assist the Doctor. COMPLAINTS A source of complaint was a mobile home at Third and Long to house a beauty shop. A City ordinance prohibits mobile homes in the City. -Discussed the drainage problem east of Garrison Avenue. Dot Hadden said the problem was that there was no drainage. The B6ard dis- cussed how drainage could be accomplished with no definite solution agreed'upon at this time. -Heard a report .by Com- missioner Benny Roberts that the sprinkler system was in place. on the Fifth Street median and that beautifica- tion was progressing.

Volunteers Taking EMT Training Course Port St. Joe's volunteer ambulance crewmen are now one third through with a 91 hour course in Emergency Medical Technician training.

Eighteen ambulance crew- men and one Licensed Prac- tical Nurse at the hospital are taking the course in this first EMT school. Holton says he expects another class will accident patients in EMT training procedures at the hospital. Star Photo follow soon after the present one is completed. The volunteers are taking the course since Florida law requires a registered EMT on each ambulance on an emer- gency call. At present there are none on Gulf County ambulances, but a special permit has waived the re- quirement for this year. Those taking the course must complete their 91 hours of instruction and training and spend eight hours in an emergency room situation and eight hours witnessing application of what they have learned. To get this training, students will spend eight hours in the Bay Memorial Hospital emergency room and eight hours with ABC Ambulance Service in Bay County. Some of the experience training must include witness of a baby delivery, suturing of lacerations, intravenous feedings, respirator use, ap- plication of splints, EKG use, Defabrillator use, use of suc- tion machine and many other procedures. Holton said the training will effectively prepare the 'students taking the course to be functional attendants, cap- able of taking care of an emergency situation until the patient can be delivered into the hands of a physician. The club is a member of the Southeast Alabama and Northwest Florida Horse- men's Association. The event is held under the auspices of the Association each year by the Lions Club for the pur- pose of financing the club's Sight Conservation Project. The Lions have gone through great efforts to make this one of their best shows ever, and will feature 30 events, (two more than last year). Five trophies will be awarded in each event as well as the senior and junior high point trophy.

Port St. Joe area schools announced this week they will alter the starting and dismissal times beginning Monday of next week. Beginning Monday and continuing through April li, the schools will take in and dismiss an hour later than usual. The move was taken because of the darkness at the beginning of the school day with Daylight Savings Time and the danger involved to children walking to and from school and waiting for school buses.

As a matter of fact, last month he said, "If this j country, can survive this Congress, I- it can survive anything." S Goldwater said many of the new members oppose military Spending at a time when this coun- try is becoming weaker in the in- Sternational field.. "They have no 'concept of what makes the econo- my run and they have no concept of -- how money is used to make mon- - ey." That's a pretty serious group Sof charges. Senator Goldwater could very -well be right in his assessment of Sthe Congress. Since they were - elected, by and large, as a back- .lash of Watergate, our nation's obsession with grasping at any Straw to get rid of President Nixon - may prove to be expensive rather Than. an asset, regardless of whose s yardstick" one uses to assess the results. One of the more objectionable -changes (to us) made by the 94th p Congress, was the re-establishment -:of proxy voting. What it means is - S Revive I .I What started out as an emo- tional outburst by Washington : County Sheriff Theron Cook, seems to be catching. fire-in Northwest SFlorida at least. ::, Cook said recently he advocat- ::;.ed the return to public hanging of i-convicted murderers as a means to '- deter the rapidly rising crime rate. Cook thinks the return to the old time method of dealing with mur- der and other, crimes punishable by death would cause those with an inclination to commit them to think ,t twice or maybe even more. Hanging seems sort of grue- *some, especially in public, but if it -vwill help to cut down on the rash of* :-major crimes which is afflicting our nation, it, deserves a trial. At a recent meeting, Ebro mayor Obie T. Morrell made a :statement that he favored public -horsewhipping as a means of pun- Jisbment for committing crimes. Morrell had a sympathetic au- dience in Senator Pat Thomas and representative Wayne Mixon when :he made his statement. If these treatments of criminals Seems to be unduly harsh in this enlightened day, it should be noted that many others feel the same way. They feel this way because Marshall Artellius, sales representative of the Whiting Corporation of Chicago, Ill., gave the Port St. Joe Rotary Clib a sneak preview of a new machine his firm has developed for sale to Amer- ica's railroads, last Thurs- day.

It also means that a powerful and persuasive committee chairman can walk into a commit- tee meeting and., by means of a pocketful of proxies which he holds in lieu of bodies, out-vote the number of Congiessmen actually in attendance.. We have enough "absentee rep- resentation" in government today with the folks at home able to see when their Congressman or Senator was absent when the vote was taken. With the installation of the proxy voting rule once again, it makes it easier for the Congress- men to pursue their choice of activity with their recorded vote cast by another. It's true one doesn't give up his proxy, as a rule, unless he gives it :to :one who, will vote as\ he, would have voted had he been present. It seems though, that we are paying our Congressmen enough to insist they remain on the job without making it easier for them to be absent. ranging they are tired of our streets not being safe; of life being taken and the murderer getting only a slap on the wrist for his sinful ways. The average person, we think, would sincerely like to see a criminal rehabilitated. A person who can be made to change his ways is far morj of an achieve- ment of the system and of society than another life taken. However, the record show this method of dealing with thdie who commit major crimes isn't Working. Since it was once saf,,.to leave home without locking the doors, and one could take a stroll at night without fear and theft was considered something one just didn't do, may- be Cook and Morrell have: some- thing. This certainly isn't the case now. We probably won't revert to the hanging and horsewhipping ever again. The fact that these forms of punishment were -.ttered by re- sponsible people before influential lawmakers may have the effect of some changes being made in our state, whereby the victim is no longer considered a pariah of so- ciety for daring to think those who committed a crime against him should be punished. motives use sheer weight to gain their traction for pul- ling. The Trackmobile hooks to a string of cars and by use of jacks transfers part of the weight of the cars to the machine to get its weight for pulling. ,'r, The machine was brought to Port St. Joe by Hannon and Bud Hannon, chairman of the board for Whiting and tested on the Apalachicola Northern tracks last week, to test its pulling ability on the AN's unique track situation. The Trackmobile pulled strings of 65 loaded cars at speeds up to '40 miles per hour. After the meeting Rota'- ians went to the AN switch- ing tracks for a demonstra- tion of the machine.

Letters to the Editor -/ February 27, 1975 Dear Mr. Ramsey, I am writing this letter to your paper in hopes of in- forming some of your readers of a serious drinking water/ problem existing in Highland' View. On February 19, 1975 a Laboratory Analysis was con- ducted from two water sam-, ples taken at random from: the Highland View Water De-, partment, the results showed bacteria, no chlorine whatso- ever, high alkalinity, exces- sive hardness, a low PH and as far as color I challenge anyone to fill a clear glassy, jar or anything clear with the water from your household which you drink .-and cook with and judge for yourself as to the color. To top this off, rumor has it that the Highland View Water Department plans to quit reading water meters and charge a basic flat rate which-will average out to be a lot higher than what you are presently paying. Ask a a friend who lives in Port St. Joe what his combined monthly water bill, sewer and garbage collection bill is.. and I think you will find it, cheaper than what you are, or will be paying for such .lousy water in Highland View. I don't know who is respori- sible for the condition of our drinking water and could. care less, but in my opinion it is high time we join together and write the State Board of Health, Mr. Billy Joe Rish, the County Commissioners, the bonding company which' holds the bonds on the water plant, or anyone else that can help us get state approved drinking water before it's too late. A Concerned Citizen, Roy L. Marshall 1- ETAOIN SHRDLU by WESLEY R. RAM5EY Nipsey Russell, the toothy Negro comedian philosophizes: "Old Mother Nature and Father Time can't get together is seems For by the time we learn how to play the game, we're too old to make the team." Back when I was young enough to make the team that little ditty would have been hilarious. I would have berated myself because I,didn't think of it before Russell did. But not any more. The legs have gone, the breath is short and the muscles are beginning to sag. One thing we would. remind Russell of, though: those who know how to play the game and are too old to make the team are the ones they select to be the coach. When things don't go as they should, they seldom fire the jocks; it's the coach who goes. The moral is: you may not be littering up the countryside, destroying beautiful and life- giving trees, committing crimes, spending the billions, of tax dollars, staying out of church, adding to the juvenile problem and wasting natural resources. We are still thh "coach" and we're responsible for the game. Chocolate covered fire ants. Doesn't that sound tasty? Fire ants 'are moving into our county in increasingly large -numbers these days. You see their hills everywhere now. A Louisiana state legislator by the name of Raymond LaBorde has come up with the solution for the fire ant problem. "People will eat most anything", he says so we should "chocolate cover them and call them a delicacy and people will eat them". That should do the trick, all right. Wouldn't, you know a Cajun would think of something like that? Chocolate covered fire ants should make a good dessert to follow a meal of fried grasshoppers. Last month we celebrated George Washing- ton's birthday and people were reminded once again of his honesty in telling his father he chopped down the cherry tree. If George Washington chopped down a cherry tree today, he'd be picketed by the foresters, attacked by the ecologists and arrested by the police for not having the proper license, but he'd be such a skillful liar ho one would know he did it. I read a piece by a columnist the other day which went thusly: Drugs are villians in any inquiry as to what went wrong with American youth. As I was growing up in the thirties and early forties, "pot" was a receptacle in which plants were kept or a prominent belly, and not something in which an appalling number of youngsters cynically indulged. Perhaps everything in life-with the pos- sible exception of computer errors-eventually adjusts but the downhill slide of morals, manners and family life has been tragic in so many homes. The kids who think the world owes them a living have already been vastly overpaid. Those small flakes you witnessed Monday morning around eleven o'clock were flakes of snow. One fellow thought they were the flying ash of fireplaces which were lit up to overcome the temperatures which fell to the 30's Monday morning, but they were genuine snow. It isn't normal for us to have "snow storms" just two years apart. Could it be that the weather is trying to keep up with mankind these days? Man isn't doing things in a way which has always been accepted as normal, you know. Snow in Florida is usually about 10 years apart. Too, March is supposed to come in like a lion, but it\ seldom does here in Northwest Florida. It usually takes about half the month of March before the "lion" tendencies show up. This year, however, March came in blowing a gale followed by our snow Monday. Cover up your sprouting irish potatoes - they may get a bite of frost. Green 'N "^"*Grassy- Azaleas Zapped Azaleas were in full bloom here in Port St. Joe this week showing off their reds, pinks and whites. Then along came Mother Nature S'"; Most all of the pioneer ladies were members of a group known as a quilting party. It seems that ladies of ages of time have enjoyed being a part of something that was free from the mild, but often touchy, dominance of man. The ladies would carry their scissors, threads and quilt patches in neat little baskets which were made from delicate reeds. The beautiful embroidered initials of the owners were found on the lid of the baskets. Some- times sewn under the lid was and let them know she wasn't through with her cold weather. The penalty for blooming so early was a frost-bitten petal. Azaleas that were perky Sunday are now droop- ing as a result-of the cold snap at the first of the week. Star Photo Quilting Parties Took Place of TV by CHARLIE WEBB an artistically hand-cut piece of red flannel with all types of quilting needles stuck neat- ly through the flannel. The quilt patches used in making the quilt were varied in colors and materials. Some patches were wool, while others were made from vel- vet and red cotton calico materials. Even broadcloth and silk patches were used sometimes. The beautiful, small, al- most invisible stitches, and the wonderful designs in the arrangements of the quilt patches of the completed quilt showed, in part, the delicate art and deep imagi- nation possessed by the won- derful pioneer ladies of years ago. The quilting party would make and give the warm and beautiful quilt to the lady of the home where the quilting party was held. While doing the delicate and artistic quilt work, the ladies would often discuss their own importance and goodness in a somewhat man-dominated land and country. Perhaps most all of the created beauty and goodness By Mike Beaudoin Herewith is a plan guar- anteed to stop inflation, kill the recession, solve the energy crisis and settle the U.S. debt without really hurting anyone! The main idea, taxing those who can afford it, was borrowed from Great Britain and embellished slightly by suggestions from the Green & Grassy Research Foun- dation Board of Directors. The British, operating on the assumption that people should be assessed taxes according to their ability to .pay, do such things as tax people for owning a TV set. The new rates are $43 for color TVs and $19 for black and white. (Even if they're in the red for their black and white!) We Americans go about it backwards. We collect most of our taxes from people living below the poverty level and give the rich guys enough loopholes to get in- come tax refunds. Other than the income tax, Americans rely most heavily on use taxes, such as a sales tax which obviously hurts the man with less the most. You can buy an auto license for a $10,000 sports model as cheaply as you can for a Volkswagen. If you plant some pine trees on your land, you can own 100 acres for about the same tax as 50-foot residential lot. Now, for some new taxes that should be painless to the taxee, easy to collect and monumental in total: First off, let's borrow from our English friends the TV tax. Even exempting each family one small black and white TV set, this tax alone should bring in enough to settle the national debt in a few years. Those people with more than one TV set should have to pay more than double because they're obviously well-to-do people. How about small tax, say $10 a year, on people with of the universe has felt the delicate touch in some way from the compassionate but independent heart of a lady. more than one telephone? Add another $15 for the third and fourth telephone. Since only well-to-do people, generally, can afford to hunt, fish, play golf, fly in an airplane or use riding lawn mowers, let's add a small tax to all of those activities. To take care of the poor people who occasionally do these things, they can get an exemption by showing their most current income tax return with an income of less than, say $8,000 a year. Memberships in country clubs, reducing salons and attendance at night clubs, supper clubs and go-go joints should chip in a few bucks tax too because they are expensive doings. If everyone paid a tax equivalent to the tips they must give in these places it would finance the printing bill for transcribing the Watergate tapes. To solve the energy crisis, the new tax plan should have exemptions for those people who ride the bus, bicycles, join a car pool or walk to work. The list is endless. These are just a few examples for starters. Of course, to make the new tax plan perfectly fair, certain select people should be exempt. This list would include those over age 92, children under 8, politicians, families eligible for food stamps, and newspaper editors and columnists. Save money ...

It prevents erosion, reduces glare, pro- tects the home from dust and dirt, lowers temperatures, and increases the value of your property. Everyone wants the perfect lawngrass, trouble-free and low in maintenance. There are thousands of grasses but only a few can take the harsh treatment a lawngrass must and still look presentable. A lawngrass must be adaptable to the climate and soil of the area, have good green color, fine texture, the ability to withstand frequent, close mowing, be tolerant to disease and insect attack, and be reasonably easy to maintain. There are six grasses that have enough of these qualities to make them useful in Flor- ida. In order of statewide popularity they are St. Augus- tinegrass, Bahiagrass, Centi- pedegrass, Bermudagrass, Zoysiagrass and Carpetgrass. Each grass has its own advan- tages and disadvantages which make it adaptable to a particular situation. Some of the things you should consider before you select your lawngrass is the amount of time and mainte- nance you wish to spend, its use, the soil and climate con- editions and personal prefer- ence. A tough grass is needed in areas where there is a lot of foot traffic or children play, If the grass is to be planted near the ocean salt tolerance is important. St. Augustinegrass is the most salt tol.-ant of the Florida lawngrasses. The amount of shade a grass re- ceives is also important. St. Augustinegrass and Bahia- grass are more tolerant of shade than other Florida lawngrasses. There are numerous other climatic and soil conditions which should also be considered. The grass that has the best combination for the location is the one that should be planted. Different grasses also have different maintenance levels. The neighbors Bahiagrass lawn may look consistently better than your Bermuda- grass, even though you spend twice the time and money. You may need to spend five or six times as much time and money on a Bermudagrass lawn. To summarize the "best" lawngrass is that variety which is well adapted to your particular site, has the color, texture and density you de- sire, and can be kept in a healthy and attractive condi- tion with the time, effort and money you are willing to spend.

Then Share Your Life with A Child Recently in Bay County a group of citi- zens sat in a tiny office discussing "Foster Children" of Bay, Gulf and surrounding counties. Social workers have long been graphi- cally aware of the plight of these young- sters. They've had the heartbreaking and almost impossible job of taking care of their needs. A foster child was described as being "a child that love forgot." He has a family but he cannot live with them. He cannot be adopted. There are several reasons why this "in- between" child cannot live with his or her own family. Most terrible and most common is that the child will be physically harmed by those who are supposed to love him. Over 180 of these children live in foster homes where people have opened their hearts to young ones in need. 'Scrutinized very carefully before being accepted as foster parents, the families receive a small amount for each larger child, a smaller amount for infants, on a monthly basis. At today's prices, these amounts will hardly feed a child, much less provide extras! Most homes have children from differ- ent families, and it is sad when one set of parents remember the birthday and Christ- mhs, and the others forget the child entirely! Foster parents do what little they can, but the great difference adds to the hurt of the forgotten child. I A set of foster parents grieve, because, though one of their children is a handsome little bdy, the other is badly in need of corrective mouth surgery. The malformed mouth is so bad that.the little fellow pleads to remain at home every time it is not necessary to go out in the public! There's no money to pay for an ortho- dontist. Homes and money are short! These children cannot participate on Thespians Entertain Kiwanians The high school drama class entertained the Kiwanis Club at their noon meeting Tuesday with some of the character skits they have been working up for presen- tation in a play at the school. The class is directed by Mrs. Marlene Whitfield. Serv- ing as narrator for the Tues- day presentation was Wanda Kirkland. Appearing in the program, in character, were: Dwana Lewis, Cindy Freeman, De- dee Gainous, Barbara Nel- son, Lindy Ambrose, Smiley Shackleford, Kathey Gray, Beth Ely and Susan Dupree. :Guests of the club were Keyettes, Debra Burns and Janet Murphy. :Advertising Pays with Results Christmas "Shopping sprees" by sponsoring civic organizations. They may be recognized and trouble ensue from parents. Whereabouts of most of these children have to be secret. Some are allowed to visit with their parents only when workers are, present. These children need help. Some only need a little help,.some need a lot. Some are lucky, enough to have foster parents who are financially able (and willing) to see that they don't need anything, but these are few. The small committee decided to put the plight of these youngsters before the public and ask for "sponsors" for each one. A sponsor would have to have more kindness and more CARING than money. It is not an expensive thing the committee is asking. Help out with clothes now and then. (Winter coats and quickly outgrown shoes eat into the foster parent's allowance for the children.) Remember the child at Easter, on birth- days and at Christmas. Several sponsors have asked for chil- dren a size or so smaller than their own children. This serves a double purpose, the child is given good used clothing, and the sponsor has a good idea the type of gifts, toys, etc. the child needs on proper occa- sions. SAnyone. in Gulf County who would like to sponsor a child is asked to contact the Welfare Office in Panama City, 769-6171, or drop them a note with an idea of the type of child desired, age, etc. The address is 3127 North Lisenby Ave. Gulf County residents will be assigned Gulf County children. All questions will be answered, but there are cases where the sponsor will not be able- to meet the child due to security measures. These are relatively few. BigK DANCE at Centennial Bldg.

There are no words to ex- press the gratitude that we feel in our hearts toward the many friends and loved ones that helped during the illness and death of our husband and father. We thank every church and all the people in the area for their prayers in his behalf. We appreciate the cards, the telephone calls, the visits that each one of you made over the last few months to say a kind word of encouragement to Paul. We would like to say a spe- cial 'thank you' to all his fel- low workers of St. Joe Paper Company and employers, Sheriff's Department, Auxili-, ary and St. Clair family for their concern and help during his illness and death. Thank you dear friends of White City and Gulf County area for the food you brought to our home and the flowers you sent. This made us aware of the love you had for him and his family. Here is a testimony he left unfinished that we would like,. to share with you. It is a challenge to do what you can while you have good health. I WAS ONCE RICH I was once rich and did not realize it until one day I lost it all. Now all I can do is lay in bed and pray to God that he will give it back to me, because he and he alone can do it. What I want to ask you, what are you doing with your wealth God gave you? Are your sharing it with your friends and neighbors and spreading it among your friends in the church, hospi- tal, .and wherever you, go? If not, I beg of you, stop, take an inventory of yourself and if you don't measure up, start it today because most of you PAGE FOUR THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 1975 THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla.

SIX Wind gusts on open high- ways can cause tricky steer- ing and loss of control for motorists the Florida High- way Patrol cautioned today. Colonel Eldrige Beach, director of the Patrol said, "Gusty winds which can be expected. this time of year are definite traffic hazards. Strong gusts of cross winds .on the open highway can :force a vehicle off the road- :way or across the center line, .especially small light-weight :automobiles, motorcycles ::and mobile home trailers. Drivers should be alert for -locations along the highway -which are possible danger spots where they might ex- :pect the effects of cross winds. Likely spots are bridges and heavily wooded areas which often block cross winds for a short distance -and add to the gusty effect of .strong winds. Sudden gusts :can also be expected when :passing or being passed by .large trucks or buses. SShula Heads :Fund Drive Don Shula, nationally :known coach of the twice :world champion Miami Dol- phins pro football team, has -agreed to serve as Volunteer State Chairman of the 1975 :Education and Fund-Raising 'Crusade of the Florida Divi- sion, American Cancer Soci- ety. The announcement was made to more than 300 volun- teers attending the state Cru- sade Kick-off meeting held recently at the Host Airport Hotel, Tampa. This particular meeting marks the turning point in this year's fund-raising ef- forts. Most counties have been in the Crusade organi- zational process since last year, and are now beginning to put the final touches on completing their respective Crusade structures. By mid- March, and through the month of April, these volun- teers will begin to solicit funds from the general pub- lic. Contributions raised during the 1975 Crusade will go to- ward the funding of the Soci- ety's three major programs ih research, education and service to cancer patients. This year's minimum Cru- sade Goal is $3,500,000, and with a Golden Goal of $3,- 600,000.

THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 1975 MINUTES Board of County Commissioners The simple driving mane- uver of turning right or left continues to cause numerous crashes when most could be eliminated if drivers would follow a few common, rules said the Florida Highway Patrol 'today. Colonel J. E. Beach, direc- tor of the Patrol said, "Each year over 10,000 accidents. which injure over 2,000 and kill nearly 50 people are at- tributed to making an impro- per turn. Follow the safety tips listed below if you want to keep out of trouble when making turns." Prepare for turns, don't make decisions to turn at the last moment. Look, then enter the pro- per lane well ahead of the turn. This telegraphs your in- tention to other drivers. ,-Signal at least 100 feet before turning. More than 100 feet when on open roads would be safer. This informs both pedestrians and other drivers of your desire to turn. Slow down before turn- ing-do not brake while turn- ing. Make sure it is safe to turn, check traffic to front and rear and watch for pede- strians. When turning left, al- ways yield to oncoming ve- hicles which are close enough secondary roads maintained by the county, and Federal Highway Safety Act funds available under Section 205, Safer Roads demonstration.

When waiting to turn left, do not turn wheels to the left. Otherwise a bump from the rear could push the ve- hicle into a head-on collision. Watch all signs and sig- nals. In some locations turns are permitted from more than one lane. When making a left turn and facing heavy oncoming traffic, pull far enough into the intersection so that traffic: behind you can get by, then complete your turn when the oncoming traffic clears or stops for the red light. Florida drivers may turn right on a red light after. coming to a full stop and yielding to all traffic and pedestrians unless there is a sign prohibiting such action at the intersection. Colonel Beach concluded by saying, "Turn properly so you won't turn into a statis- :tic." Touring with Bryan Choir George McLawhon, son of Mr. and Mrs. George B.

One word won't tell 'em who you are You've got to keep on talking. An inch won't make you very tall, You've got to keep on growing. One little ad won't do it all, You've got to keep them going. A constant drop of water Wears away the hardest stone; By constant gnawin', Towser Masticates the toughest bone. The constant, cooing lover Carries off the blushing maid.
