Drawing from the theme of the Diversified Cooperative Training class for their an- nual banquet Friday night, 'Representative William J. Rish, guest speaker for the evening, said,. "Our nation DCT Director Lamar Faison is presented gift by Robert Capps at Friday banquet. Star Photo 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. During the evening, the Representative Rish speaks DOT students honored their' employers with a steak din- ner, prepared by the stu- dents. In developing the program for the evening, Becky Gable gave the welcome, followed by the invocation, said by Rose Marie Noble. Carole Antley introduced Represen- tative Rish. Robert Capps gave the DCT Creed and Miss Gable gave the closing re- marks. Janet Murphy sang two songs to provide enter- tainment for the evening. The class presented their director, Lamar Faison with a gift at the close of the program. Highland View Water Works County Asked to Take Over enough for two years. Mrs. Taylor lily belonged to the amaryllis he giant bloom on the flower eight inches across. Star photo .Highland View people are in a stew about the condition of their water and treatment- system, if.the temper of the delegation which visited the County Commission meeting Tuesday' night is any indi- cation. The delegation had three requests of the Board: that Another Week of Down Time. St. Joe Paper Company mill will be down' for at least 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 florida .$70,000 a day to do (Continued on Page 2) 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 Saturday Films On Tap for Kids The Gulf County Recreation Department will present movies at the Port St. Joe Elementary Auditorium each Saturday afternoon in April and May beginning at one p.m. Each movie will be accompanied by a comedy. Some of the movies to be shown are: "Daring Dober- man," "Sad Sack," "The Three Stooges in Orbit," "Cockeyed Cowboys of Calico County," "Adventures of Tom Sawyer," and "Bridge. Over River Kwai." The com- edies will be the Chimps series, and will be shown with each movie. All ages are invited to see the movies. There will be an admission charge of 50 cents. Refreshments will be avail- able. the meeting, claimed that "The operator now at the (Continued on Page 2) School Kids Take Holiday Spring holidays for all school.age- hiklr-en in Gulf County will be from March 31 to April' 4. 'There will 'be no school on these days. Kids, get out and en- joy the spring sunshine and the beaches. Deadline for Filing Paper , Property Appraiser Samuel A. Patrick warned this week that property owners have only until March 30 to declare the value of their personal property for taxing purposes on the 1975 rolls. "If property 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 throughout the county. "If there is someone who didn't get a declaration form, we- have them here in our office"' Patrick said. New state laws require that the listing of taxable personal property be made by the deadline date. Last Round of Spelling Bee Friday Gulf County school students will be competing in the county finals of a spelling bee Friday morning at 10:00 a.m. in the Port St. Joe High School, to see who will rep- resent the school in the Re- gional Spelling Bee in Jack- sonville. The winner will be competing with winners from 24 other counties for the Regional championship. The regional winner will go to , Washington, D. C. in June to compete in the national con- test. Competing in Friday's con- test. will be winners from the fifth and sixth grades of Port St. Joe' and Highland View Elementary Schools and from the seventh and eighth grade competition in Port St. Joe and. Wewahitchka High Schools. The public is invited to attend the spelling bee which will be the first one held in Gulf County schools in sever- al years. TEN CENTS A COPY - -- I ) I I .

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.

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. Sikes? 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. (Continued from Page 1) County Gets Fill Site plant is in no shape&'to handle' the bags of lime which go .into the .treatment, so the. water just doesn't get the lime treatment." 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.- The Christian Science Moni- tor. Debra Hamm Is Guest of Askew Miss Debra Jean Hamm, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Benton Hamm of Port St. Joe, was the guest of Gov. Reubin O'D. Askew at the seventh annual State Award Luncheon held at the Florida State University Union Ball- room on Tuesday, March 25. Debbie is employed with the State of Florida, Division "of Mental Health. Other in- vited guests were all mem- bers of the Legislature. 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. (Continued from Page 1) Asked to Take Over what cleaning is dqne on road' shoulders. Sheriff Raymoi& Lawrence said catching .' those' who dump the debris' isn't the 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. than the low bid of Felts Trailer Company, but Bur- ford's bid of $8,710.00 was accepted as being the only one to meet the specifica- tions. The Board agreed to sell a surplus boat trailer used by the Sheriff's Department to Jack Pridgeon of Wewahitch- ka for $33.78.

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.

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.

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 Follow Smokey's advice- break your matches!

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. U now 4 8.00 MODEL EXDl9P r ST. JOE HARDWARE CO.

Star Photo FLORIDA WILDLIFE 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. Historically, the Game and 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. the members of the Church of Christ Invite you to meet with them: Sunday Morning Bible Study. 10:00' Sunday-Morning Worship.... 11:00 Sunday Night ................ 6:00 Wednesday Night............ 7:00 Corner 20th St. & Marvin Ave. James Brantley, Minister Phone 229-8153 Ward Ridge DRIVING RANGE Ward Ridge-Next to Radio Station 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. 2:00 to 5:30 p.m. SPECIAL LADIES DAY Mon., Wed., Fri. mornings 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.
