Some See

Red Over
City Water

Has your water been red
lately?. .
This question rivaled.
"How areyou feeling?" as a
common greeting in Port St.
Joe during the past few days.
A check with Bob Simon,
the City's man at the water
treatment plant, said the
cause is due to the St; Joe
Paper Company mill being
shut down. "While they're
down, they are not putting in
their alum treatment in the
fresh water canal", Simon
said. This treatment settles
the dirt particles out of the
water before the city's treat-
ment plant gets it. The treat-
ment plant has no facilities
for removing dirt particles.
"The water is perfectly
safe", Simon said, "even
though it looks a bit cloudy".
So, drink on, neighbors.
Just consider this another
installment on the peck of
dirt you were supposed to eat
when you were a small kid
eating dirt out in the yard.

SChoose
ni
at The City of Port St.. Joe has been notified by the-
in Farmers' Home, Administration that;thae..agen~---"ill-
in finance a portion of planned water and sewer expansion
he and improvements and make a commitment for additional
eh .loan funds provided the City can come up with enough-
e, collateral to guarantee repayment to, the satisfaction of
h FHA.
iy The City has applied for a loan of $2.8 million for
extensive rehabilitation and extension of the systems, but
FHA says the City needs an extra $75,000 per year in
pledged funds to'be sure payments' will be made. The City
I has the money to make the loan, but it is not from sources
the FHA will approve as collateral. They have already
pledged income from utility taxes arid water and sewer
revenues for the project. Other money is available from
h, state revenue funds which took the place of cigarette and
id gasoline taxes, but FHA won't accept this as income which
ed could not be interrupted.
r- : FHA has now said they will loan up to $1,214,700 on the
ly present sources planned for repayment, which would
finance a good deal:of the work. They also pledged to make
e: the rest of the original request available if the City can
y, come with other acceptable income to pledge against the
;e- debt.
Ir. The Board agreed to go ahead with planning for
n- expenditures of the $1,214,700 Tuesday night, leaving out.
I's one of two major projects planned until more funds can' eW
of made available.
of During the next few days, the Board will consider
nd which of two major projects to scratch for the time being.
ne Two major water system projects hang in the balance.
ix, Alternate "A" calls for enlarging the water treatment
ol- plant and replacing the old 100,000 gallon storage tank on
hn Long Avenue with a new 500,000 gallon tank. In addition,
es the plan includes drilling of deep wells to provide more
nd supply. This project will cost in the neighborhood of
as $1,000,000. Alternate "C", also under consideration would
include a major overhaul of the distribution system in the
he City and running water service to Oak Grove.
r The delimma gets larger when the Board takes into
consideration the fact the City is drawing close to the limit
of water the St. Joe Paper Company says it can spare from,
their fresh water canal. Too, the water treatment plasi4tE
operating at capacity and needs additional filter bedsg:.-
aereator and additional chemical treatment facilities, Z3he
question is much like the question of which comes first, th
chicken or the egg. As Water Commissioner Benny-
on Roberts observed, "It would do no good to put downma =
ith better and larger distribution system and run water to Diaki
nd Grove if we had no treated water to run through it. By tihei
er same token, if we don't get an adequate distribution.
system, we have little need for increasing our treatment.
facilities."
The Commission will go ahead with plans to completelx;E
rehabilitate the sewage collection system at a cost 'of=
slightly over $300,000, which will include a major'overhaui-
and replacement of lift stations at First Street and on the
corner of Long Avenue and 16th Street.
WANT ALLEY CLOSED
B. Roy Gibson, Jr., Vice-President in charge of the St.
Joseph Telephone and Telegraph Company requested the
Commission to consider closing the alley behind their-
property on Fifth Street west of their property line, leaving
the remainder of the alley open from their property line:-to
Woodward Avenue.
Gibson said, we are going to do pretty extensive
'construction in this area and may have, to expand over to
the property facing Long Avenue in the future. Gibson said
closing the alley would allow the. fim to use more
flexibility in their future plans. The Company anticipates
installation near the alley in the future which they would
rather not be disturbed or endangered by traffic.
The Board took the request under advisement and
agreed to call for a public hearing on the matter. Attorney
Fred Witten said the City would have to give the public an

I Is the United States of America
Crying "surrender" to the com-
Smunists?
Next year the United States
celebrates its 200th year as a
nation. During this period of time,
Q. nation has always 'stood for.
what is right, with all it had to
stand with. Never in these two
S.hturies has the nation ever lost a
Ayar*. It has always stood by its
'jaiimitments and.came to the aid
those unfortunatee nations which
could not defend or support them-
selves. We believe this attitude of
going the extra mile for humanity
is,, hat has made this nation the
greatest in the world.
Now, it appears as if the United
States is going to assume the
' attitude of many of its people and
I refuse to get involved.
After Admiral Dewey defeated
the Spanish in Manilla Bay the
SUnited States has undertaken to
soft of protect the Asian continent
Until it could stand on its own two
*feet. This has not been without its
rifards, since the nation has reap-
ed harvests of tin, rubber, oil,
spices and friendship from the
Asians.
Of recent years, the commun-
ists have come to covet the Asian
people and are using a small nation
hardly the size of Florida as their
troops to take over in Asia. The
United States, the mightiest nation
iMthe world is now going to stand
,aside, bow in a. curtsy and let the
communists have their way. When
the 'job is completed, the United


subjects are dwealt on enough nor
required strongly enough. But even
a smattering of these basics is
better than none at all which has
been the case in some schools.
We must al1. recognize that
this and other:tea6hers should have
recognized this situation long be-
fore students rqach their senior
year. .
It's good t now that the
national pendulum swinging back
to the basics and recognize them as
just that basic knowledge upon
which to build an education. What
bothers us is those 17 graduating
classes which must now go through
life not being able to read, barely
able to write and hardly capable of
adding a string figures or mak-
ing change with their money.
Kids today have been exposed
to knowledge which has made them
i)nbrigjht;:and eager. It is to their
'credit and their, brightness that
they are capable of reading and
figuring as well as they do. If the
basics had been stressed along with
the education they are now getting
for the past 17 years, we would
have a nation of super brains today
and possibly some of our odd
thinking would be more subdued.
Again, we are happy to see the
pendulum swing. "t" can't be fast
enough to suit us.


States had just wi i cross the trade
routes to the Orient off their navi-
gational maps. Asia will belong to
the communists and the U.S. will
be persona non grata.
Our national leaders are also
cutting back on our defensive prep-
arations to the point of danger.
With our seemingly expressed,pur-
pose of handing the communists
Asia on a platter, it would seem
even more prudent that we remain
strong militarily. We have been put
on notice any number of times that
we are the ultimate prize of the
communists, and, unlike us, they
do not change their mind.
It causes us to agonize over the
future of our nation :when we see
the leaders of our country go back
on our word, vacillate on our duty
and give in to an enemy which we
can easily control with our might
and our know-how:
We don't know -how to handle
surrender. We have never had to.
Too, we don't think the nation and
its people fully realize how de-
meaning surrender is, since we
have neyer experienced it. Surren-
der is bad enough, but to give up
without~- a fight, when we have
everything in our hands to fight
with is unforgiveable.
We weep for Southeast Asia
and its future if our nation turns its
back on these people: If the com-
xnuists are convinced by us that
S 1iN back down and surrender
under pressure, we -are apprehen-
sive over the future of our own
nation.

ETAOIN SHRDLU
: by WESLE-RA. RAMSEY


I was right; our Mayor Frank Pate was
mis-quoted in a recent article about Port St.
Joe in the News-Herald. The article quoted
Pate as saying the town hadn't grown in the
past few years. Frank said he didn't say a
word about growth or lack of it in the
interview. The Mayor was in Tallahassee
spending his time and money attending a short
course on better city government when the
article was written in this spot last week. We
got together when he got back and counted 17
new businesses established on Highway 98
alone in the past 20 years. That's a pretty
healthy growth for a town this size.

Today js my birthday. Tomorrow spring is
upon us. For some time Readers Digest. has
been one of my favorite magazines. In the
March issue they have an article telling of the
bad month of March. It's windy, too cold to be
spring and too warm to be winter. RD had
March described as practically a useless
month, fit only to divide spring from winter.
But with my birthday and the first day of
spring all in one month, how can it help but be
classified as one of our better months?

A couple of weeks ago, I wag reading the
Bainbridge, Ga., Post-Searchlight and I came
upon an article by 'the editor, Marvin Griffin,
which dealt with how Estifanulga got its name.
Editor Griffin said the latest (and supposedly
correct) theory is that the word Estifanulga is
an Indian word which means "Where the river
turns East no more". That sounds authentic,
doesn't it?
Griffin went on to say he had always heard
that once a band of Indians were walking along
the river when they came to a brave lying dead
there on the bank. One of the braves looked
down and muttered, "Ugh! Ain't he stiff and
ugly!"
That explanation sounds plausible too.
While we're on the subject, do you know
how Port St. Joe got its name? Why wasn't the
resurrected city named St. Joseph, after the
first city founded here back in the 1830's?
The story I have heard is that the founders
of modern Port St. Joe wanted to name Port St.
Joe St. Joseph. The Post Office put a damper
-on the-planS, though,-since they "already had"a
"St. Joseph'post office in Florida at the time.
The name "Port St. Joe" was then chosen
because of the fine deep water port here. The
other "St. Joseph" has since had its post office


Letter. to the Editor


Dear Sir:
The Port St. Joe Lions Club-
would like to use this means
to express their gratitude to
the many merchants and bus-

supported our recent Horse
Show. This year's show turn-

shows ever for our organiza-
tion.
As you may know, Lions
Clubs throughout the world
have as their universal pro-
ject sight conservation, and
only through such means as
the horse show can such a
project be financed. The con-
sideration of the merchants
and businessmen coupled
with the proceeds from the
show and its contestants help-
ed the club reach a total
effort of $1,300.00, all of
which will go toward sight
conservation.

Dear Mr. Ramsey:
Thank you for your fine
article regarding our sand
mining facility in Wewahitch-

SI would like to take this
opportunity to point out an
error in the article, however.
No discharge from the plant,
either water or solid mater-
ial, is discharged into the
Dead Lakes. The system is
completely closed cycle; the
water is pumped from the
dredge pond through the pro-
cessing plant and then into a
series of three settling ponds.
The clean water is then al-
lowed to flow back into the
dredge pond completing the
cycle. All excess water used
is thus returned to the point
of origin. At no time of the
dredging operation does any
of its overflow come in con-
tact with the Dead Lakes
themselves. We do not plan to
dredge any closer than 400' to


the shore of the Dead Lakes.
We would also like to take
this opportunity to invite all
interested Gulf County resi-
dents to visit our plant, or if
anyone would like a repre-
sentative of our company as
a speaker to any business
groups we would be happy
to serve.
We look forward to a long
and happy relationship with
Gulf County and its fine
people.
Very truly yours,
Panhandle Mining & Develop-
ment, Inc.

Letter to the Editor
Open Letter to
Mayor Frank Pate


shut down.
We'll probably get all sorts of feed back
from this. No doubt there will be at least a
dozen other explanations come forth as to how
Port St. Joe got its name.

In a meeting the other week, the talk
around the table got real deep into the
engineering needed for solar heat. Bob Simon,
the city's head man out at the wastewater
treatment plant began to explain just how it
was done. He told of the square feet of exposed
panel necessary to get a BTU of heat from the
sun; just how the system operated -and how the
heat was utilized in a home or business. He had
the answers and seemed ready to build one for
himself. It was all very complex.
I had Bob all built up in my mind until
somebody paid him a debt with a $20.00 bill.
Bob computed his change by counting it on his
fingers! Imagine that! He was just sitting there
telling us just how to go about building a solar
heater, then counted.change on his fingers.

I told you a while 'back that Sidney the
poodle had come to live with us. Sidney still
isn't as big as a good size rabbit, nor will he
ever be. His resemblance to a rabbit doesn't
stop with size either. When he wants some-
thing, he can jump just as high as a rabbit.
Too, like a rabbit, he nibbles at everything,
though he hasn't cut his teeth on the first bit of
furniture-yet.
Sidney is a strange dog. He doesn't go
crazy over Alpo, Gainesburgers, or any of the
other dog foods dogs are supposed to pant
hungrily for. But let me get a handful of
parched peanuts to munch on and Sidney goes
into his rabbit act. He's crazy over parched'
peanuts. As a matter of fact, so am I and we
usually keep some in the house most of the
time.
Too, Sidney likes cats. He jumps again at
the opportunity to get outside and play with the
four tom cats which hang around our house for
a free handout twice a day.
It's a good thing Sidney isn't very big,
since his greatest pleasure is to get in my lap
late in the evening just before the 11:00 whistle
blows and relax from a very trying day. Sidney
- has,-it-rough 'with alt Ifis"-jumping,'runmin
checking out everything which walks through
the front door and checking on the cats daily.
He thinks he deserves his few peanuts and a
nap in my lap every evening.


Dear Mr. Pate:
I read with interest your
comments about Port St. Joe,
in the Panama News-Herald

QUOTE:-"I'd like to see
some improvement of busi-

to have an all-out clean-up

mighty fine time to do it."
QUOTE:-Holy Bible

Don't Cut

Corners

Drivers who cut corners to
avoid traffic lights and signs
are in violation of the State
Uniform Traffic Control Law
said the Florida Highway
Patrol today.
Colonel Eldrige Beach,
director of the Patrol said,
"Some drivers are tempted
during traffic rush hours to
drive through parking areas
or driveways to avoid traffic
control devices. This mane-
uver endangers pedestrians
and vehicular traffic alike."
Florida law provides that
vehicles shall not be driven
from a roadway to another
roadway to avoid the direc-
tions of a traffic sign or light.
Beach concluded by saying,
"Keep your pool in traffic
because this is one time when
being a conformist may allow
youfto Arrive Alive."


Security? Lightning


Rod Created Beauty


by CHARLIE WEBB


The lightning rod salesman
who came through the rural
areas a long time ago said
that he could make a sale ,to
anyone who had a love 'of
beauty and a little fear within
the heart; and he sold lots of
lightning rods.
Lightning rods were put on
top of a house for beauty and
the security from a stray bolt
of lightning that could hit and
destroy the house during a
thunderstorm. Whether the
rod would arrest the lightning
from the sky was a matter of
conjecture. Security from
powers of nature are difficult
to obtain, and about all there
is to physical security could
be one's own sense of secur-
ity.


The assembled lightning
rod was a beautiful creation,
being made from ornamental
iron and' brass, in a spear-
'shaped design with little re-
volving cups on the shaft that
would twirl around in the
slightest breeze. Between the
cups were brightly colored
transparent glass balls.
With the lightning rod in-
stalled on top of the home
and the late afternoon's sun
reflecting through the colored
glass balls on the. shaft point-
ing upward toward the
-.,iestic vastness of space,
...,id the background of the
readingig branches of green
pecan trees surrounding the
farm home, a beautiful pic-
ture was created that seemed


to blend into a sense of
security to the observer.
Beauty and security could be
entwined, and the beauty of
love within the heart could be
a true security.
There could be a revival of
the lightning rod industry.
Most people today have a
love and a deep yearning to
create the beautiful, and
some people have a few in-
visible fears. The great
beauty of many of the beauti-
ful homes of today would be
enchanted from the silhouette
of lightning rod on the roof
and would give to all passing
lovers of beauty a refreshing
glimpse of a beautiful art
lorg since regimented into
oblivion.

Even Fishing Records



Are Madeto be Broken


Well, it finally happened.
'er all the tales of the ones
,at got away, one finally
didn't. And is it a monster!
Must be a record, maybe
even a world's record, who
knows. But who's going to
believe you? Who will take
your word for it.
If you are ever faced with
that granddaddy of fish, one
that surely must break all the
records, hang onto it. Freeze
it and contact the nearest
Game and Fresh Water Fish
Commission office. A fish-
eries biologist will be there to
ve-ify your catch.
Although Florida maintains
no official records on fish;
either fresh or salt water, the
Florida. Wildlife Magazine
issues citations to its sub-
scribers and their immediate
families for fish which meet
certain size requirements.
Large fish listings are com-
piled, from. Fishing Citation
requests, newspaper clip-
pings and correspondence
files. But these only repre-
sent a small percentage of
Florida fishermen.
Currently, the largest
largemouth bass that, has
been caught in Florida was a
19 pounder taken from Lake
Tarpon in Pinellas County in
1961. A 21 and a half pounder
was removed from the shal-
low water of Orange. Lake in
1954 but not caught on rod
and reel.
In 1971, an eight pound
chain pickerel was taken in
Lake Talquin in Leon County.
This replaced. the previous
high of five pounds, 12 ounces
that had been recorded in
1968 from Lake Tohopekaliga.
Although there have been;
rumors of a four-plus pound-.
er taken from Merritts Mill
Pond in Marianna, the'larg-
est shellcracker that has


been verified was a four
pounder caught in 1950 in the
Dead Lakes.
The fishing citation issued
in 1967 for a three pound,
eight and a half ounce black
crappie taken from Clear
Lake in Pasco County. still
stands as the highest known
for that fish. And the three
pound, five and a half ou ice
bluegill taken in 1950 f om
Crystal Lake in Washington
County has yet to be topped.
The' largest known red-
breast caught in Florida is a
one pound, eight ouncer
caught in 1972 from Leon
.County's Lake ammonia.
The top warmouth verified
was a one pound, six and a
half ouncer pulled from Tiger


Lake in Polk County in 1970.
The Florida Wildlife issues
citations for seven species of
fish, recently adding the
striped bass to its list. There
is no current known Florida
record on that fighter.
Application blanks for the
citations, suitable for fram-
ing, are on the inside back
cover. of each issue of the
magazine. In addition to cer-
tain size requirements, all
catches must be from Florida
fresh waters, caught using
conventional fishing tackle,
artificial or live bait, and in
the presence of at least one
witness.
The catch must be weighed
and recorded at a 'fishing
camp or tackle shop within


the state by the owner, man-
ager or an authorized agent
of the establishment. All pro-
spective record.fish must be
preserved for verification.
And thisdoesn't mean mount-
ed-at least, until after it has
been verified.
The species and minimum
size requirements are: large-
mouth bass, eight pounds;
chain pickerel, four pounds;
bluegill (bream); one and a
half pounds; striped bass, 10
pounds; Shellcracker, two
pounds;, black crappie, two
pounds; and redbreast, one
pound.
Last year, 130 Florida an-
Sglers received fishing cita-
tions, a small number when
you consider the popularity of
the sport in Florida.

Prospective

Students


Tested
Prospective Gulf Coast
Community College students
are currently being tested in
their high schools to ease
entry into college life, ac-
cording to GCCC Director of
Testing, Pam Hooper.
"The student who com-
pletes his application proce-
dures, testing and advising
before May 1 will have the
advantage of early registra-
tion, privileges and will be
assured a smooth and per-
sonal introduction to col-
lege," Mrs. Hooper said.
"We found last year that
students appreciated the con-
venience of completing many
of the admission, require-
ments at their high schools
and so, this month, we are
repeating the process," she
added.
According to Mrs. Hooper,
specific objectives of the
GCCC testing and advising
program are to determine ap-
propriate entry levels in sev-
eral academic disciplines,
and to identify specific stu-
dent needs and interests such
as financial aid and extra-
curricular activities.
High school seniors who
miss being tested at their
schools may be tested on the
Gulf Coast Campus any Wed-
nesday, Thursday or Friday
at 1:00 p.m. throughout
March.
Students who fail to com-
plete all admission proce-
dures before May 1 will be
unable to meet with faculty
advisors before the middle of
August and face difficulties
S in scheduling first semester
classes, Mrs. Hooper warned.
Details concerning testing
may be obtained directly
from Mrs. Hooper or high
school counselors.

cations as advertised. Comm.
iWhitfield seconded the

.informed the Board that he
'was not in agreement with
Advertising to purchase this
equipment as previously
stated in the minutes. He said
.that all department heads
:and superintendents should
?cut spending and purchases
E;;of equipment. He added that
:in trying to save the tax-
Spayers money, he would op-
;pose the purchase.
:h Chairman Davis said that
:he also recommended cutting
;;the budgets, but in this case
^driving the motor graders jn
Sthe ditches had caused both
iof them to be in the shop for
expensive maintenance and
=this piece of equipment would


:eliminate the motor graders
o ^driving in the ditches.
SThe Road Superintendent
Said the equipment would
:save money in the long run
ion maintenance of equipment
^


and hauling of sand.
Comm. Owens said the
number one complaint he had
received had been drainage
problems and this equipment
would help in this area.
The Chairman then called
for a vote on the motion and
the motion carried as Com-
missioners Whitfield, Owens,
Money, and Davis voted Aye
and Comm. Player voted
Nay.
Chairman Davis then asked
F. E. Trammell, county san-
itarian, to step forward
.where he was presented with
a plaque and certificate of
accomplishment for this 30
years of service with the
Health Department. The
Board expressed gratitude to
Mr. Trammell and wished
him many happy years in. his
retirement.
Dr. Weathington, county
health department doctor,
:.said that in the 10 years he
has worked with Mr. Tram-
mell he could not have asked
for a more dedicated man
and he was very proud of
him. Mr. Trammell thanked
the Board for their support
and .commended the Board
for taking steps forward by
adopting building codes and
suggested they move even
farther forward by adopting
the Florida Administrative
Code.
Comm. Owens then told Dr.
Weathington he had received
several complaints from old-
er persons unable to receive
blood pressure checks from
the Port St. Joe Health Clinic
when they are being given at
the Health Clinic in Wewa-
hitchka. Dr. Weathington re-
plied the main reasons are
there are 2500 people in
Wewahitchka, with no doc-
tors and no hospitals, and
7500 people in Port St. Joe
with four doctors' and one
hospital. .In addition, the
main activities of the health
department are' immuniza-
tion and family planning.
Comm. Money said he was
concerned about the senior
citizens on fixed incomes who
could not: afford' the blood
pressure ieks.. jaU.it

a id Meicaid'-was" suppbsed
to be supplying these persons
with these services and if
they were not then the tax-
payers were. really getting
taken as thousands of dollars
were being spent for these. In
addition, he said his depart-
ment was one county agency
that had the same number of
personnel as they had 10
years ago and the additional
personnel required to make
blood pressure checks were
going to cost the county tax-
payers more when the tax-
payers were already paying.
state agencies to provide
these services.
Sheriff Lawrence then dis-
cussed the possibility of Dr.
Weathington having sick call
for county prisoners on a


weekly basis. After di 'ui-
sion, Dr. Weathington agreed
to see the prisoners whenever
possible.
Bill Vanlandingham, Divi--
sion of Communications, told
the Board the Florida Emer-
gency Telephone Act of 1974
mandates the emergency
number of 911 throughout
Florida by 1979. The Chair-
man agreed to appoint' a
committee to implement this
system.
E. F. Gunn, county building
inspector, asked the Board
what procedures he should
use in getting the buildiffg
permit program underway.
The Board asked Mr. Guin to
meet with the attorney fo de-
vise forms, a system of: in-
spections and a- beginning
date. .

mette Daniell for his work in

representing several .'bisi-
nessmen selling alcoholic
beverages in the south end of
the county, presented a peti-
tion for restoration of the
customary closing hour 0of
one o'clock for such esta-
blishments. After discussion,
the Board agreed that they
had thought adopting of the
state law had not changed the
old closing hour of one o'-
clock and Comm. 'Whitfield
moved the attorney prepare
an ordinance allowing sale of
alcoholic beverages until one
a.m. throughout.the unincor-
porated areas of the county.
Comm. Owens seconded, the

mously.

lop a plan for solid waste

green plants.
A few of the varieties dis-
played were: Boston fern,
asparagus fern, leatherleaf
fern, maidenhair fern, bird's
nest fern, fluffy ruffles fern,
staghorn fern, rabbit's foot
and others growing in hang-
ing baskets and containers
of assorted shapes and sizes.
Mrs. Nance stated that one
of the first plants on earth
was the fern and today in
certain parts of the. world
large tree ferns can be found
dating back many years. In
Sthe 20's and 30's, i~rmost
every home had a ferrflr in
the parlor consisting of a
wicker basket, filled with


some form of Boston fern.
SA revival of interest in
these graceful foliage plants
makes them seem almost
new and certainly interesting
and exciting to grow. Repot
infrequently because they are
sensitive to root disturbance.
Mrs. Bridges, president,
presided during the business
meeting and encouraged
members to participate in the
club's activities planned for
;he,coming months.
Members of' the '.Garden
Club want to thank everyone
who helped make the March
program a success by bring-
ing their lovely ferns to be
used for the program.

S Gibson also asked for permission to encroach on the
alley right of way with the foundation for their new

OTHER BUSINESS
In other items of business, the Commission:
-Received- a letter from the manufacturer of the
incinerator at the Wastewater Treatment plant telling-the
S:. Commission how the incinerator could be modified to take
the City's garbage up to 90 tons a day at a cost of
approximately $30,000. Plant operator Bob Simon says he
: thinks introduction of garbage into the incinerator would
S help it to burn and. consume the material it was purchased
to'burn. The incinerator manufacturer seems to agree with
Simon.
-The Board decided to place. signs at the traffic
: :' signals on Highway 98 indicating the business district'of the
Town is one block east of the highway.
S-The Commission agreed to ask E. F. Gunn to serve

Mexico Beach Annual Ling-Ding


Festival Beginning April First


Many fishing tournaments
are held in Florida through-
out the year-but few match
the flavor and fun of the
Ling-Ding Fiesta, presented
annually at Mexico Beach.
-This year the dates are April
1 to June 7, with Fiesta Day
. June 14.
This is the time of the year
for the annual run of ling or
cobia along the northwestern
portion of the Sunshine State.
And, in keeping with this
annual migration, Mexico
Beach is one of the first cities
to take advantage of the
bonanza.
Prizes totaling more than
$5,000 await anglers register-
ing the largest fish in the


various categories. Species
include ling, redfish, trout,
king and Spanish mackerel,
pompano, dolphin and sev-
eral others.
Rules are simple for the
Ling-Ding Tournament. All
fish to be entered must be
caught at Mexico Beach. Any
tackle may be used, and fish
may be caught from any
vantage point: boat, beach,
bridge or pier. Anglers inust
have at least one witness to
their catch.
Fiesta Day will provide
activities for everyone. An
arts apd crafts display will
be presented along the Coun-
ty Pier Road, and a flea
market is also slated. Con-
tests include a crab race for


No Substitutes Available


hMetal or plastic cards sold
by some manufacturers are
no substitute for official Med-
icare cards, according to
David P. Robinson, Social
Security Field Representa-
tive for Gulf County.
S"The Social Security Ad-
ministration mails official
Medicare cards to people who
have the protection," Robin-
.son said. "You should always
show your official card when
you receive services covered
by Medicare. It's a good
idea to carry your Medicare
card when you're away from
home. If you lose it, yol
should immediately ask the
people at any social security


office to get you a new one."
Medicare- helps pay the
health care expense of people
65 and over, of disabled peo-
ple who have been entitled to
social security disability
- benefits for 24 consecutive
months or more, ai.d ofimany
people with chronic kidney
disease.
The program is explained
in- detail in Your Medicare
Handbook, which is mailed to
people who have the protec-
tion. Copies are available at
any social security office.

If you won't be getting a

pension... read this...
Many people are not covered by a pension
program with their employer.
If you're one of them, there is now a tax-
deferred way for you to build toward your
own retirement fund.
With a Metropolitan Individual Retirement
Program you can defer taxes each year
on up to 15% of your income or $1,500,
whichever is less, by putting this income
to work to help assure your future
financial security.
A pension is nice to look forward to. But
if it's not in the cards for you, give me a
call and I'll[ show you what Metropolitan
can do to take its place.

By Ralph J. Edenfield
County Forester
Disposable goods from pulp
are agift of trees that make
life simpler and more care-
free.
Disposables are a billion
dollar industry in the U. .S.
alone. As might be expected;,
disposable diapers account
for -the bulk of the industry's
sales-$400 million last year,
followed by feminine pro-
ducts at $300 million and the
balance distributed among
medical and surgical pro-
ducts, wipes packaging and
headrests.
And remember paper
dresses?
Evening wear from pulp is
back again. Only the new
nonwoven materials are
more durable and are capa-
,ble of being stitched into
more elaborate styles.
Two frilly concoctions were
put to the test by Miss Amer-
ica, Shirley Cothran, who re-
cently modeled the floor-
length gowns at the Inter-
national Nonwoven Fabrics
and Disposables Expositihn
and Conference in New York
City.
Best of all, these paper en-
sembles could be washed or
dry-cleaned. ,
Durable nonwoven fabric's
are already approaching the
quality of woven fabrics, and
have been used in home fur-
nishings.
A product of wood cellulose,
such goods are just one of the
many end-use products from
Florida's forests.


Manufacturers of dispos-
ables purchase fluffing pulp
from pulp mills in continuous
rolls. They defiber the sheet
into a fluff which is put into
consumer products.
Disposables first came on
to the American scene in the
mid-late 1960's.
At least, this began the era
of toss-away hospital bed-
ding; gowns, diapers and
tablecloths.
Synthetics Also Important
It is said that there are
3,000 chemicals embodied in
trees. Ordinary wood pulp is
not itself a chemical but
when purified and treated
with chemicals, it becomes a
viscous cellulose solution.
This in turn is filtered to
remove impurities, then aged
and finally a liquid is added
that will cause coagulation. It
can then be spun into yarn,
and the technique for making
it was discovered in 1855 but
rayon did not become vital to
the textile industry until 1889.
However, neither rayon nor
acetate-both of which are
wood cellulose fibers-are
true synthetics.
In the truly synthetic
fibers, complex chemical
reactions occur that produce
changes in the original sub-
stance. Rayon is only modi-
fied wood cellulose. Nylon
patented in 1940, is a truly
synthetic fiber. '
Nylon, however, is a pro-
duct of petroleum-or coal. It
is dependent on materials of
the earth that are in short
supply.
