Drawing from the theme of
the Diversified Cooperative
Training class for their an-

'Representative William J.
Rish, guest speaker for the
evening, said,. "Our nation

has 'ust begun; we 'have
much to do."
Rish stressed the point that
the peo e and business haye
worked, nd in hand in miak-
ing this iPtion great, and its
continuing greatness would
rest with 'e continued coop-
eration .a protection of the
rights of 'jth business and
the people
The efirrg'etic lawmaker
pointed o68t that power to
keep our n tion great comes
ultimately om the people.
"We can c 'tinue to work
hard, defend our nation and
champion fre.lom or we can
surrender so'e of our free-
doms for secuitty. In the end,
though, it is' te decision of
the people wheiper our nation
remains' great Vrr 'becomes a
second class cjontry."
He urged tl support'of
business. It ha'been proven
that business is more suc-
cessful at management than
government. 'It stands to
reason, then, that business
has played an important part
in making our nation strong."
He went on to say that both
government and business has
their problems at the present
time, "But the signs show
that both are coming out of
their troubles and they will
be stronger for the exper-
ience."
Rish said that while the
nation' relies on the people
and business for its strength,
the home and church come in
for a giant share in defending
our way of life.

another week, according to
information from Tom S. C1o-
dewey, vice-president in
charge of operations;.
Coldewey told The Star
Wednesday morning, "We're
shooting for a start-up date of
April 7. There's no way we
can start up next week."
Coldewey said the date of
April 7 seemed to be a
realistic date for.-the mill to
begin operations again after
being shut down since March
8 due to a slow order situa-
tion.


County Gets




New Fill Site


After several years of
searching for a suitable site
which could be made avail-
able for a garbage land fill
site in the Wewahitchka area,
the Board received permis-
sion Tuesday night from St.
Joe Paper Company to use 40
acres of their property. The
site will replace the present
'land fill serving Wewahitchka
which is filled up and must
be abandoned.
The new site will be one of
two in the County now which
meets the new standard' set
by the, state for land fills.
GIFT HORSES
The Board is beginning to
get weary .of gift horses
which seem to be appearing
with regularity at each and
every meeting lately.
The latest government man
to come bearing potential
gifts was E. W. Ervine, rep-
resenting the North Florida.
Housing and Development
Corporation. He wanted the
Board to take part of gov-
ernment funds now being
used to furnish employment
for those who have been out
of work for 30 days or more
and hire a housing represen-
tative who would spend his
time recruiting people who
want housing but who cannot
afford to buy it.
Irvine said Farmers Home
Administration has made 10
loans in Gulf County in the


past eight months totaling
$190,000. "They have the
money to make more but
need to locate families who
have good credit and cannot
afford to buy a home. He
pointed out that under the
program a family with good
credit earning around $5,000
a year can purchase'a $20,000
home for around $60.00 a
month under the payment
supplement plan offered by
FHA.
Since FHA already has a
man coming into the county
one day a week, the Board
decided to let this opportunity
slip by for the time being.
WANTS CLEAN ROAD
Paul Sewell told the Board
a picture published recently
in The Star of garbage on the
shoulders of SR 71 was no
"select shot". "He could
have taken that picture any-
where from St. Joe to Wewa
with the same results. The
road is a disgrace, and peo-
ple are a disgrace who would
mess it up that way."
Sewell advised the Board
that the Department of
Transportation had cleaned
the shoulders up that day and
he hoped an extra effort
would be made to keep it that
way.
County attorney William J.
it..ih noted it cost the State of

they take over the operation
of the system; that a new
Water District Board be ap-
pointed and that vacancies on
the Board be filled.
The citizens had several
complaints, but seemed unit-
ed in their contentions that
the water wasn't up to par
and that they disagreed with
the waN the present Water
District Board W'as handling
things One citizen present,
'Billy Branch said. "The met-
ers are not working and they
have begun charging a flat
water use charge. Now they
say they need more money to
operate on and we want to
see where the money is being
spent." Branch went on to
say the Water Board refused
to let citizens see the books.
"They may need the money",
Branch said, "But we want to
see where it is going. If it is
needed, I feel.sure the people
will go along with an increase
in rates."
From the gist of the con-
versation which was preva-
lent throughout the meeting.
people of the Highland View
area would not go along with
continued discolored and
hard water from the system.
Branch said, "We in High-
lanld View are concerned over
the condition of our water
system. We think we have a
'right to be. The petition
presented you tonight asks
you to take over the system
and be responsible for its
operation. We feel we could
be assured of a continuing
quality operation as well as
have someone responsible to
talk to when we have prob-
lems in the future."
Albert Whittington, who
had presented the petition re-
ported: "The people have
asked me to request the
Board be removed and a new
one appointed.
Ernest C. Bryan, one of two
men suggested, to fill one of
the vacancies on the Board at

owners fail to declare their
personal property before that
date, a penalty will be levied;
against the owner", Patrick
said. The penalty is 10 per-
cent of the value.
Forms for the property -
declarations have been mail-
ed out by the Appraiser's
office to property owners

erything happens in its own season
and for a definite purpose.
Even the Resurrection of Jesus
from the dead happens in the
proper season. Spring is the time of
year for the beginning of new life
for things controlled by nature
(nature being the hand of God). In
the spring the plants put forth new
life; the earth begins to bring forth
fruit which is necessary to sustain
life in man, thus bringing new life
to man also.
Easter, the time of the year in
which the Cricifixion and the Re-
surrection took place, is set in this
season of new beginning .... of new
life for the Christian.
Jesus has said in his many
ministries, "I have come to bring
life and to bring it more abundant-
ly". It's fting -that his act -of
guaranteeing this '"new life" by
believing in him, should happen at
the "new life" time of the year.
See you in church Sunday
where we can all join together in
study of this new life and the one
who offers it freely.

the economy. Too, 'we would like to
see explained how the additional
$2.5 billion in taxes to be levied
against the oil companies will help
the consumer. We have come to
understand this $2.5 billion will
come from thogs who buy oil
products. This means Americans
will pay $2.5 billion more for oil
products next year.
We're not betig facitious, nor
are we trying to belittle Mr. Sikes'
claim that the tax reductions and
the extra taxes oil will better
our economy. Our-knowledge of
mathematics (limited as it is) tells
us this will only ivorsen the situa-
tion and we would truly appreciate
knowing where our logic is wrong.
Could you do this for us, Mr.

Organ Grinder

Monkey Always


Drew A Crowd

by CHARLIE WEBB


Pioneer days were some-
times enlivened by the visits
of such people as the little
scissor sharpener with his'
bag of bolts and nuts, and the
magazine salesman wearing
a silk striped shirt, his pokets
filledwith-penny pencils.
The most popular visitor
was the monkey belonging to
the organ grinder. Where the
visitors came from and
where they would go after
leaving town we never knew,
but each visitor would walk
into town and each would
walk out of town.
I never understood why we
were so enthused over the
monkey. We were familiar.
with animals, being blessed
with all kind of dogs and
cats-dogs that slept under
both the front and back
porch, and dogs that pulled
small blocks of wood attach-
ed to their necks by a chain
to prevent escape through the
wood picket fence. Some qf:
us even kept pet, squirrels,
and baby coons in cages
made from cypress shingles
criss-crossed under drawn
bamboo vine strings, under a
tree in the back yard.
In the wonderful quiet of
the country side, one could
hear the organ grinder long
before he came into,view. By
the time he reached the cen-;
ter of town, there was a large
crowd following and an:equal-
ly large crowd coming from
the opposite direction to meet
the monkey and organ grind-'
er.
We 'would ask the organ
grinder the name of his mon-
key and whether there were
many more monkeys left in


the monkey world. He never
said a word, just kept grind-
ing the little square shaped
organ, while the monkey took
up collection in a tin cup.
In those days for some rea-
Pon most collection plates:.
and cups when used wild
show a shoe button.and may-
be a long shanked fish hook,


but not so with the 'monkey.
Anything except coin dropped
intothe collection cup was
immediately rejected by the
m9onkey.
He was alert, and maybe
that's why we all loved him.
Perhaps orfe of the mnny
irasons that yoir friends ad-
mire you is because you are
humble, but very alert.

There was even some ques-
tion as to just 'ho.w many
eligible members are pres-
ently on the Board. A letter
was read at the meeting in
which the office of Governor
Reubin Askew, who has the
power to appoint and remove
the Board, saying the Cobnty
Commission needed to secure
two more members of the
Board for consideration.
Commissioner Silas Player
contended there was' only one
.vacancy. "We recommended
and sent in the bond for John
Dady two months ago, leav-
ing only one .vacancy."
Attorney Rish suggested
the Board write the Governor
for a clarification of the
eligible membership, "Since
some of those now serving
may have unwittingly let
their terms expire and are no
longer eligible members."
As a result of.all the
charges and complaints being
aired the Board finally mov-


" Much Slippage Standards

Too Much Slippage In Standards


SA back-to-basics emphasis
.is being increasingly felt in
SAmerican education circles.
. Of course, even while
. school practices shifted in
"liberal" directions in the
past decade or so, a number
,of parents and educators
were worried about the edu-
;cational implications of less
-structured classrooms, re-
Sduced emphasis on grades,
the "new math" and so on.
',But. they were overruled by
the widespread impulse to
,alter the excesses of tradi-
,tional methods-the rote
IleaTning, the too narrow cur-
tricudum, and what was taken
to be an intellectually and
"emotionally stunting empha-
"~*s'on imposed, rather than
self-imposed, discipline.
What is now occurring is


probably a counter correction
of the excesses of the recent
reforms. Parents and educa-
tors are concerned that stu-
dent performance in basic
skills like reading and writ-
ing has fallen too low. Laxity
in school discipline has left
them impatient with school
administrations. Recession
and inflation have revived a
regard for job-winning, bread
and butter values.
Unfortunately, it appears
that some of the stress on
educational fundamentalism
may be itself an overreac-
tion. It is promoted by some
school administrations less
for purely educational rea-
sons than to blunt community
demands for accountability,
or to broaden taxpayer and
voter support for school sys-


teams troubled by -racial or
financial' problems. A renew-
ed emphasis on grades and
competition in colleges paral-
lels the partial swing back to
traditional attitudes in the
public schools. However, the
swing back to competition
and grades is being criticized
has having already gone too
far. The preoccupation with
marks, "the make-or-break
pressures for gaining' en-
trance to professional or
graduate schools, is said to
be "deforming" on some
campuses.
Nonetheless, it is fair to
say that there has been far
too much slippage in learning
and attitudinal standards in
American schools. Television
is partly responsible for the
drop in basic writing and


reading skills, though it has,
also greatly widened the
awareness of youth in com-
pensation. An educational
emphasis geared to the heady
economic and cultural expan-,
siveness of the sixties may
well need adjustment for the
economically contracting.
seventies,
There can never be a re-
turn to rote learning, or an
educational system which
views students and Iteachers
as automatons. The libera-
ting progress made toward
recognizing the individuality
of students should not be re-
versed. But there must be a
return to a high regard for
the academic skills which
provide- the essential struc-
ture for further education, of
objective rather than more


generalized and subjective
standards for achievement.-

ed to follow Rish's suggestion
and also agreed to enter the
names of Ernest C. Bryan
and Albert Whittington for
nomination to the Board by
the Governor.
As to the question of the
Board taking over the opera-
tion of the system, it was
pointed out the Board could
not take such, action without
special action of the legisla-
ture. "You can't tell them
what to do", attorney Rish
said, "Any more than you
could tell the City of Port St.
Joe what to do. They are a
constitutional governing body
created by the Governor".
It appeared the Board was'
happy to leave it that way.

Sheriff Raymoi& Lawrence
said catching .' those' who

problem. "The problem lies
after you get them into court
and try to get a conviction",
he said.
HAVE PROBLEMS
Two residents of White
City, Roy Harper and Curtis
Hardy came ro the Board
with problemlg
Harper said water eroding
his property Ws his problem.
He said a former ditch had
been filled and the resulting
re-routing of the water was
steadily eroding the property
of Jim Goodman and Harper.
The Board agreed to examine
the situation Friday morning
and try to come up with a
solution.
Hardy, fire chief at White
City asked the Board to con-
sider preparation of a place
on the canal to fill the fire
truck water tank. Two places
were recommended and the
Board will inspect both Fri-
day morning.
BIDS RECEIVED
The Board accepted the bid
,1 Burford Equipment Com-
pany for a low boy trailer for
the Mosquito Control Bur-
ford's bid was $163.00 higher


Everybody has the hots for the Apalachi-
cola River. Of course, the people who live here
within its basin would like to keep a little water
running down-the river so we could do a little
fishing now and then, regardless of what else
those who would cause changes to be made
accomplish.
Secondly, the people of Georgia and Ala-
bama would have drastic changes made in the
river so as to support a growing water freight
business up and down its length. To begin with,
they wanted the Corps of Engineers to.install a
series of four dams, flooding great areas of
land and causing dramatic changes in the
lower river. We all joined in putting the stopper
on that, since we felt it would seriously impair
our use of the river, expressed in the first
paragraph above.
Now, the thirsty millions of South Florida
are looking greedily at the Apalachicola and
have dreamed up a project of piping it to South
Florida for drinking water. They want to put in
a huge pipeline and divert some of the river
water southward to be used for drinking water.
It seems the south Floridians have' put such a
demand on their underground water that salt
water is getting into the underground aquafier,
endangering the drinking water supply.
Personally, I have been in favor of the
Corps of Engineers' latest proposal to put a
tumbler dam north of Blountstown, to maintain
a nine foot channel above this point. Such a
.measure wouldn't affect the flow of water down
here and would mean a little revenue could be
derived from the river. I don't think we can sit
here on such an asset, and keep it all for our
own private use much longer. I would rather
see us pick and choose how we share it with
others. I feel the tumbler dam would be the
minimum damage we could inflict to do our
duty by our, brother to share.
This matter of funneling the water down
state is another new can of worms. With the
tumbler dam, we can keep the water here to
use. With a pipeline carrying the water out of
the area, we could neither use it for fishing in
or floating barges upon. Neither would it get to
S:lApalachie6la ,tOnosurish .the Bay ad-nd-uce-the
oysters, crabs,' shrimp and-fish to propagate in'
numbers sufficient to have enough to eat and a
few left over to sell.
Whatever is done with the river, the Penin-
sula or with the swamps, it should be our
decision to make, since these area belong to us.
However, we can easily see where the decision
will be taken from our hands, if our steward-
ship is not wise and if it tends to waste the
valuable natural resource in question.

I had a lady call the other night to discuss
some of the articles in the paper of last week.
She wanted to talk about a few of the opinions
on the editorial page and I don't think she was
particularly in approval of some of the ideas
expressed there.
Even though she might have objected, I
would have discussed the matters- with her,
satisfied in the fact that she was at least
interested in what was going on around our
county. The thing which turned me off,
however, was that she waited until around 2:00
A.M. to call and she was obviously in her cups
to more than a small extent; neither would she
give me her name.
I'd like to tell the lady that if she will call
at a decent hour, give me her name and try
and be sober at the next call, I will discuss
Anything, she wants to. As I said last week, last
Thursday was my birthday, and, although I
will not admit to beginning to get old, I have
reached an age to where I can't afford to be
awakened in the middle of the night, after the
schedule we must go through every day to keep
this newspaper operating.


Now to. end on a bright note: Friday the
first day of Spring was so' obviously the first
day of Srping it didn't even need to be so noted
on the calendar. After we have our customary
chilly day on Easter Sunday, it should be all
downhill for the warm weather buffs. It'll be
back to the beaches, the gardens, the river and
the picnic grounds. We haven't had a particu-
larly cold winter, but the week end weather has
been miserable for one reason or another.
Some "weather to play in" will be a welcome
diversion. You find the most of, this kind of
weather right here in Northwest Florida.

said already, competition and
activities have been provided
in basketball, cheer leader
clinics, ceramics, exercise
classes, volleyball, ,quilting,
baseball, guitar lessons, ten-
nis and several other activi-/
ties. The department is mak-
ing arrangements now to
show Saturday movies begin-

see the program branch out
into gymnastics, but that
money wasn't available at
the present time.
He said that over 1,000
people had been involved in
the program in the short time
it has been operative.
The program is financed
jointly by Gulf County, The

Christ Cared for Others


Rev. Dewitt: Mathews pre-
sented an Easter message to
the regular meeting of the
Kiwanis Club Tuesday, using
the first saying of Christ on
the cross as his subject.
Mathews developed the
theme of forgiveness of our
enemies and praying for
others, using Jesus' example
on the cross as the pattern by-
which men should pray. "Je-
sus practiced what he
preached", Mathews said,

"In that his first concern was
always for others, even while
dying on the cross."
Mathews posed the ques-
tion, "If you were to be
arrested for being a Christian
as Christ was, would there be
enough evidence to convict
you?"
Guests of the club were
Key Clubbers Bill Norton,
Sandy Sanborn, Janet Mur-

Congressmen Told River




Can Bring Jobs to Area


"Jobs, jobs, jobs."
That's what is on the minds
of Floridians living along the
Apalachicola River, a spokes-
man for the area told con-
gressional representatives
from Northwest Florida,
Southwest Georgia and South-
east Alabama at a luncheon
meeting in the Capitol Wed-
nesday, March 19.
J. C. Gissendaner, Chatta-
hoochee businessman, said
dependable year-round navi-
gation on the Apalachicola-
Chattahoochee-Flint water-'
way would bring more jobs.
He noted that average per
capital income in the six river
counties of Florida ranged
from $1,469 to $2,117 in 1970,
in contrast to the state aver-
age of $2,720 and the national
average of $3,876.
Gissendaner said he was
convinced a proposed low-
level navigation dam near
Blountstown would also help
oyster production in Apalach-
icola Bay..
He quoted oyster statistics
before and after the construc-
tion of Jim Woodruff dam.
Prior to completion of the

Rivers Membership Grows


Twenty-one organizations
and individuals in four states
have joined Tri-Rivers Water-
way Development Associa-
tion as dues-paying members
since January 1.
R. H. McSwean of Abbe-
ville, Ala., newly-elected
president, said the new mem-
berships came mainly as a
result of contacts by associa-
tion directors and letters
written last year. He noted,
also, that demand was grow-
ing for year-round navigation
f


on the Apalachicola, Chatta-
hoochee, Flint waterway.
Tri-Rivers, a non-profit
association with its office in
Dothan, Alabama, promotes
planned development of the
river system for transporta-
tion, recreation, flood control
and other public uses. Mem-
bership now totals 116 groups
and individuals.

Girl Scouts Have



Grown Since '58


Girl Scouting began in Gulf
County in 1958 and has grown
to a registration of 180 girls
in the Port St. Joe area, Mrs.
Sally MAlone told the Rotary
Club last Thursday, during
Girl Scout Week.
GirlS96uting has grown in
the council since it was form-
ed in 1962, Mrs. Malone said.
Since this time, a Girl Scout
camp, Camp Elinor, has been
established near St: Andrews
State Park in Bay County and
a second- camp on Lake Tal-
quin is scheduled to open in
May. .,
"The"'ite at Camp Elinor
was donated by Mrs. Mac
Lewis", Mrs. Malone said,
"and we have been using it
regularly. The Council has
since financed and had the
camp at Lake Talquin con-
structed and we expect to be
using it too", she said.
Mrs. Malone is presently

ing, Port St. Joe, Florida.

City Auditor and Clerk 3t 3.13


the Neighborhood Chairman
for the Wetappo area, which
includes Guld County and
Mexico Beach. She has held
the position since the Council
was formed in 1962.
Mrs. Malone thanked the
Rotary Club for their sup-
port in the past, both moral
and financial.
Visiting the club with Mrs.
Malone were Girl Scouts No-
ra Thomas, Ann Ward, Julie
Sherlin and Robin Leckie. All
four of the girls briefly told
what they liked about Girl
Scouting.
Williain H. Lyles was in-
ducted into the club as a new
member. David Carl Gaskin"
of Wewahitchka was a guest.

dam, he said, the smallest
annual oyster harvest was
451,000 pounds and the larg-
est was 3,764,000 pounds.
Since 1961, the harvest has
ranged from 2,252,000 to
4,826,000 pounds.
"We need the oysters, and
we need agricultural and in-
dustrial jobs to keep our
young people in the area,"
Gissendaner said.
Homer Hirt, Jr., manager
of the Jackson County Port,
reported that approximately
two million bushels of soy-
beans are produced within a
50 mile radius of the new $2.2
million port at Sneads. Ship-
ping the soybeans by water,
he said, would save farmers
as much as 50 cents a bushel.
He said the port authority is
negotiating with a fertilizer
company to bring in around
160,000 tons of fertilizer com-
ponents a year.
Gissendaner and Hirt were
part of a three-state, 11-mem-
ber delegation which also in-
cluded George Tapper of Port
St. Joe, Lamar Massey of
Chattahoocheee and Jack
Brannon of Donalsonville,
Ga.
William P. Walker of Do-
than, Ala., immediate past
president of the Tri-Rivers
Waterway Development As-
sociation, moderated the ses-
sion. He told the senators,
congressmen and aides pre-
sent that, "The colors (of the
states) may be pink and
green and yellow on the map,
but we are tied together by
this river system."
Brannon also urged leaders

of the three states to join
hands to complete the nayi-
gation project authorized by
the Rivers and Harbors Acts
of 1945-46. He said he felt
Georgia leaders had not fully
recognized the potential of
the river system.
Florida Congressman Don
Fuqua of Altha told the group
they were "preaching to the
choir," since it was the Flor-
ida Cabinet and not the con-
gressional delegation which
had opposed the proposal.
"Educate the local people,"
Fuqua advised.
Senator James Allen of
Alabama praised waterway
development as "an invest-
ment of the taxpayers'
money that yields widespread
returns."
Reid Smith, transportation
manager of Great Southern
Paper Company, Cedar
Springs, Ga., cited his com-
pany as an example of how
economic gains in one state


benefit people in adjoining
states.
"We now employ 85 people
residing in the State of Flori-
da out of 1,500 people, pre-
sently in our employment,"
Smith said. "Incidentally, our
annual payroll is $20 mil-
lion."
He reported that the com-
pany paid $3,850,000 for pulp-
wood and chips from Florida
in 1974 and that harvesting
the wood employed 230 Flor-
ida men. He said products
from the Georgia plant made
up 55 per cent of the tonnage
shipped out of the Port of
Panama City in 1974.
"I doubt very seriously that
the port could even exist if it
were not for our tonnage,"
Smith said.
He noted that the Port of
Panama City employs 250
people directly and that
steamship agencies and other
related concerns employ
many more.

COMMENTS ON THE OUTDOORS
By
Dr. 0. E. Frye, Jr.
Director

) GAME AND FRESH WATER FISH COMMISSION


A


TALLAHASSEE-Hunters
and conservationists won an-
other battle in the U.S. Court
in New Jersey recently when
several groups tried to get an
injunction to prevent the U.S.
Department of Interior from
having a public deer hunt in
the Great Swamp National
Wildlife Refuge in New Jer-
sey.
The plaintiffs were Deer,
Ecology, Environment and
Resources, Inc., The Fund for
Animals, Inc., The Friends of
Animals Inc., and The. Socie-
ty for Animals Rights Inc.
Approximately one year
before, Judge Lacey heard
another similar case brought
about by the same groups,
and issued the injunction. He
gave the reason as failure of
the bureau to make an en-
vironmental impact state-
ment. The groups stated they
were opposed to deer hunting
on the area because they
wanted to make use of the
area and enjoy the natural
state of the region.
In the case of the Great
Swamp National Wildlife Re-
fuge an environmental impact
Statement has been made.
Judge Lacey said in his order,
"I have carefully reviewed all
of the materials submitted. I
have given particular atten-
_Stion to the detailed findings
and conclusions embodied in
the EIS, which is, I find, a
product of what was a
thoughtful, exhaustive and
sophisticated analysis of the
obvious overpopulation of
deer in the Great Swamp
area. I must and I do have
regard for and pay deference
to the administrative ex-
pertise so strikingly manifest
therein; and note paren-
thetically that plaintiffs
neither challenge nor assail its


contents. Accordingly, I have
no difficulty in concluding
that the proposed hunt is not
only desirable, but necessary.
in advancing the public in-
terest and should proceed,
unless plaintiffs' legal argu-
ments, founded upon certain
alleged procedural failures of
the defendants, mandate
otherwise."
According to the EIS. the
deer herd had increased from
120 animals in 1964 to 590
animals in 1974. The carrying
capacity of the area was es-
timated at 250 deer. The
natural browse had been
damaged by overbrowsing.
The deer had decreased in
body weight and the fawn
crop had declined. Deer had
died of starvation and mal-
nutrition.
Judge Lacey also stated,
"Public hunting is a form of
public recreation for which
the National Wildlife Refuges
were established. The court
cannot overlook, and in fact
takes judicial notice of, the
great amount of money spent
by hunters in pursuit of their
quarry."
We are fortunate in Flor-
ida at this time. The courts
have held that all fish and
wildlife belong to the people
and the Game and Fresh
.Water Fish Commission es-
tablishes seasons, bag limits
and methods of taking wild-
life and freshwater aquatic
life.
Environmental impact
statements are a way of life
.for us now. The investigation
and research that goes into
the statement permits us to
be on top of projects that
might effect our environ-
ment.

Lanier Chairs

Committee
Members of ten 1975 Flor-
ida Farm Bureau Federation
advisory committees have
been named by Walter J.
Kautz, president of the 60,500
member agricultural organi-
-,zatio-" .
These groups meet at var-
ious times during the year to
recommend commodity acti-
vities and help 'determine
policy affecting various Flor-
ida commodities and agricul-
tural issues to the FFBF's
22-member state board of
directors.
Chairmen and various com-
mittees include L. L. Lanier,
Jr, of Wewahitchka, chair-
man of the Honey Committee.

Fresh Water Fish Commission
is. the first to become con-
cerned when a species is .in
stress. We have demonstrated
this with the alligator, Eier-
glades mink, bear, panther
and many others. We have
also taken action on many-
non-game 'species such as the
okaloosa darter, the pine bar-
rens tree frog and the gopher
turtle.
The New Jersey court
cases may be an indication of
what is in store for other
states and agencies.


SBy Ralph J. Edenfield
County Forester
A beautiful girl is slim and
willowy. In conversation, we
talk about "laureled brows,"
"palms of victory," and the
"oak of strength."
Trees bring to mind many
associations. Throughout his-
tory, they have been a part of
mythology and folklore. The
Bible, too, is full of refer-
ences to trees ("He shall be
like a tree planted 'by the
rivers of water" and "for the
tree of the field is man's
life.")
ASH
According to Norse legend,
man was created from the
twig of an ash tree. The
name "ash" was thus derived
from the Norse aska, mean-
ing man. The clubs of early
warfare were often of ash,
because they thought it had
some potency other woods
did not have. Later, Cupid's
arrows were made of wood of
the ash tree. .there it had
potency, too, supposedly.
(Today, ash is prized as a
wood for baseball bats and
sledgehammer handles, not
because of any magic it has,
but because of its brute
strength.
CEDAR,
Cedar is a tree that has
been used to symbolize eter-
nity and good fortune. It was
sought for making hand-car-
ved idols, for adorning tombs
and for the wood structural
units of the Temple of Solo-
mon. Egyptian mummy'
cases were lined with cedar.
Carved figures from cedar
have been taken from burial
places 3,000 years old. In the
i crypts, cedar oil was used to
repel insects.
JUNIPER
The green roots of juniper
were smoked as incense
(frankincense) and the
Greeks burned juniper ber-
ries at funerals to keep off
demons. There grew up a
superstition that the juniper
tree was the only tree that
opened its arms to Mary and
Jesus on their flight to Egypt.
It has come to be thought of
as a refuge for the weak or
hunted. In some areas, the
superstition prevails that rab-
bits hiding from hounds will
be safe underneath a juniper
tree.
LINDEN
The linden tree came to be
known as the "tree of judge-
ment" from the practice of
magistrates sitting under it
in Germany. But to some, it
was a "fairy tree", and un-
der its shade fairies and dra-
gons reposed.
OAK
Almost all people look upon
the oak as a symbol of
strength. Early people notic-
ed that oaks were more often
struck by lightning that were
most other trees. It was
assumed that the god Jupiter
was hurling arrows at the
human race, 'but the oaks
were warding them off be-
cause they were worthier and
Stronger than other objects.

PINE
The pine tree, in mythol-
ogy, was thought to have got-
ten its permanent greenness
from Jove. He couldn't stand
to see a lady weep at the site
of her lost love, so to console
her, he caused the nearest
tree to be green at all sea-
sons as a memorial.
In Bohemia, even today,
thieves eat pine seeds, be-
cause they think the oily nut
makes them "shot-proof."
And yet, in many levels of
society today, the 'notion that
trees protect and harbor men
from evil has apparently
been abandoned, suggests the
Division of Forestry, Florida
Department of Agriculture
and Consumer Services.
But perhaps the ghost of
Morris' oak in New York City
(of which he wrote "Wood-,
man, spare that tree.") still
haunts the courtyard of St.
Paul's Church.
The ringing cry, however,
apparently fell on deaf ears.
All that stands in adjoining
community is roaring Broad-
way!

In addition Mackall said,
the law provides job protect-
ion and anti-discrimination
protection to the employees
who leave their position to
perform training duty with
the Reserves or National
Guard.
Now, veterans who worked
for state or local govern-
ments and who were separa-
ted from the armed services
on-or after December 3, 1974,


can take up the reemploy-
ment right problems with the
Office of Veterans Reem-
ployment Rights in the La-

Administration. If
necessary, the Office can at
the request of the veteran,
through the Department of
Justice, seek court action to
enforce reemployment
rights.
If you have any questions
regarding the above or any
veteran matter, contact
either your local County Vet-
eran Service Office, any

ministration or write
