THIRTY-EIGHTH YEAR, NUMBER 43 Industry Deep Water Port Fine People Safest Beaches in Florida PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, THURSDAY, JUNE 26, 1975 _ 0 Pollution Control People Fail to Approve New Land-FillOperation 'e e w^**..' ...."*-- Trooper Murphy, Chief Griffin, Patrolman Lightfoot and Assft Chief Robinson check out radar gun WIen He, Ae o.ha! H, eA`i S If you happen to be riding down a Port St. Joe street just a little too fast and happen to notice: a police car parked, there is no heed to just slow down: you had just, as well stop and get your ticket. It's no longer possible to just slow down to the legal limit 'and escape a ticket (which will cost you $27.00) because the policeman knows how fast you were travelling before you. ever see him.,The big thing is, he can prove how fast you were going by using a device whose readings will stand up in court. The policeman has sighted you in his: Traffic Radar Gun' and clocked your speed', locking it in the ma- chine and writing it down on a ticket. "Port St. Joe's Police De- partment *is now equipped with just such a device. It allows the patrolman to park his car, stick the device out the window or focus it into his rear view mirror and clock the speed .of your car up to a half mile away-accurately. The- device will measure speeds of automobiles travelling to- ward, away or sideways to the "focusing Radar Gun. The speed is recorded in a light scope on the rear of the'gun and the operator knows in- stantld how fast the suspected car is going. DEVICE SHOULD( CHECK SPEEDERS According to Police Chief H. W. Griffin, the new piece of equipment will be the answer to the many complaints of people speeding down the long avenues which run north and south in Port St. Joe.- "In the past we have been required to follow a speeder and clock his speed before we could make a case of speeding' against a driver", Griffin' said. "Nat- urally, people slow down when they see a police car coming up to their rear and many times' we know a car is speeding but we're unable to prove it". The Chief also said that kids who decide to do a little drag racing set up look- outs while they race or know the police car is not in the vicinity because they don't see it. "That's all behind us now:; We can sight in a speeding car' from a half mile' away and clock his speed without his ever knowing it." Ouch! Some people cringe at the thought of getting a shot and dogs apparently do too. When the veterinarian came to town Saturday afternoon the dogs lined up to get their rabies shots, even though some of them expressed the desire to be somewhere else at that particular time. In the photo at right, these dogs looked the other way as some of their "brothers" were stuck with the long needle. The dog on the table in the bottom ,photo hunches up as the sharp needle strikes home. The good part of it was that the innocula- tion was over in just a second, after which every dog happily jumped off the table, glad the ordeal was o% er. Star Photos Patrolman Bobby Lightfoot said one :of the biggest ad- vantages is that it will all but eliminate high speed chases. "Those chases are dangerous for everyone", he said, "but now we don't have to chase him down". Inall likelihood, the gun will be used to deter only a small number of drivers in .Port St. Joe. Demonstrating the gun Tuesday afternoon, for the purpose of taking the picture with this article, the device was set up on Fifth Street and operated for about thirty min- utes. in moderately heavy traffic up and down the street. Only one car was clocked as speeding and it was exceeding the speed limit by only one mile per hour. VERSATILE Assistant Police Chief Roy Robinson said one of the handiest things about the de- vice is that it's completely portable. Hardly larger than a target pistol,,the speed indica- tor is operated by the power which comes from the cigar- ette lighter in an, automobile and can even be powered by a ' battery. "It's not big and bulky like earlier radar units, Robinson said. "We can carry it with us at all times and use it anywhere, anytime, day- light or dark." Trooper Ken Murphy of the Florida Highway Patrol said the Patol has used a similar device for some time and that it has increased their ability to detect speeders and make binding cases against them. The new device is in use today on Port St. Joe streets and will continue to be used in order to control traffic in the city, Chief Griffin said. Names Left Off Honor Roll Two names were inadver- tently left off the honor roll published in last week's issue. Susan Quarles, an eleventh grader, made the semester "A and B" honor roll. Phyllis Cumbie, a seventh grader, made both the six week and the semester "A and B" honor roll. The Gulf County Commis- sion received the shock of its life Tuesday night when John- ny Williams, representing the Department of Pollution Con- trol told the Board it had to revise its intentions of opera- tion procedures of the new garbage land-fill area north of Wewahitchka. For two years, the Board sought a site which would meet the DPC guide- lines for an acceptable land- fill operation. They finally found it and secured a lease -from St. Joe Paper Company, the land owner and had start- ed work on its development. Mosquito Control .supervisor C. E. Daniell applied for his permit, as a matter of routine and Williams delivered the shocker Tuesday that DPC would not approve the permit under the proposed plan of operation. .The County had planned to operate the new garbage site as they did their others in the county-leave it open at all times and cover up the debris four times a week. Williams* said the DPC would not ap- prove this plan. Regulations call for the county to cover the debris every day the land-fill site is open and a person must be on the site at all times. :Williams said regulations say an attendant must be on hand at the site to direct the ,dumping of garbage and it must be covered each day withlat leastsixinches of dirt., This news, of course, made 'the Commission and their attorney, William J. Rish indignant. "We're improving the garbage disposal program and you turn it down?" Com- mission Chairman Otis Davis, Jr., asked. Williams was quick to point' out that he wasn't turning the site down. "It's a site which meets all our requirements", he said, "but new regulations say an attendant must be on hand at all times when a site is in operation". He went on to say that the only way the requirements could be chang- ed would be for the county to apply for a variance from the Department of Pollution Con- trol. "No one person, includ- ing the director, can give you a variance", he pointed out. Williams volunteered to go with the Commission to Talla- hassee to appear before the Board to ask for the variance. Rish said he would be making plans to. go Friday, "loaded for bear" with possibly help from Senator Dempsey Bar- ron to ak' for the variance. "It's too stiff a requirement for a county this size", Rish said, "and I think we can get it changed". The Department of Pollu- Stion Control has condemned every one of the county's land-fill sites as being too near the ground water table for proper burial of garbage. A recently opened site at Hon-, eyville meets the require-_ ments, but is a small land area. BUDGET TALK County Finance Officer Jer- ry Gates said it was time to start working on the new budget and.he would like to have some figures from all department heads at the next meeting, which will be on July 8. The Commission went. on record as requesting all de- partments to cut their budgets by 10 percent for the coming year. Emmett Daniell presented his tentative budget Tuesday night, which he said was re- duced 13.4 percent from the present year's budget. Daniell said he had saved in the new financial work plan by requesting no new equipment, reducing his reserve money and cutting his chemical pur- chase in half. "I have enough chemical on hand to go through the first six months of 15 Cents Per Copy Subdivision Regulations Developed What is a subdivision? The county's new proposed subdivision regulations define a subdivision as any parcel of land divided up into five or more lots which have an area of less than five acres each. How much less than five acres a lot in a subdivision may be is defined later in the document by saying that all lots must be at least 75' by 150' or its equivalent. The Board, in a work session prior to the regular meeting, went through the new requirements, worked up by the Gulf County Planning Commission and made the changes they desired before the final document is approved by the Board. The changed set of regulations is to be brought up at the next meeting on July 8 at which time they will probably be adopted a s they were changed Tuesday night. WOULD REMOVE SOME TAXPAYER EXPENSE In the new regulations, the Board has tried to make some regulations which will require subdivision developers to have some pattern to their developments and also remove from the. tax payers, the expense of providing some of the things necessary for a subdivision. The largest expense the county has had in the past is providing roads and drainage. In past years, a developer has presented his plat, drawn out and with provisions made for streets, which were accepted by the county.; Then,, as the areas developed, the county was saddled with the expense of building the streets, "because tax payers had built homes on them". Also, in the past, the county has run into the problem of subdivision developers leaving varying widths for streets-anywhere from 20 to 100 feet. The new regulations require streets at least 66 feet in width. The Board felt this was necessary in order to have proper space to put down a road, build drain ditches and possibly install sidewalks and utilities. DEVELOPER MUST PROVIDE ROADS One of the biggest changes over practices in the past was that developers must provide passable roads before a subdivision will be accepted. The roads must meet county specifications in construction and width. The original draft required developers to maintain the roads for a period of a year. at their own expense. The . Commission struck thi4 clause, since they felt very few developers could or would buy or rent a road grader often enough to keep roads in .proper repair. "We grade. other roads", Chairman Davis, "We should maintain - new subdivision roads, also, since they will serve tax payers who deserve the service." Another big change is that a developer'must present a preliminary plan to the County Commission (who established themselves as the official Planning Commis- sion for such matters) before the final document is presented. This will allow the Board to offer any objections they have to the plan before it is.put down on paper in its final form or any money spent doing the things the county will now require.. The final subdivision plat must be presented, along with four copies on a permanent material in ink which is reproduceable. The scale must be one inch to each 100 feet' 'The final plat should give location of the subdivision, dimensions, drainage, streets, utilities, elevation chart and must be prepared by a licensed engineer. Developers must also post a bond sufficient to insure completion of all requirements. FILING FEES ESTABLISHED Fees for filing of new subdivision plats will be $25.00 for up to 25 lots and 50c per lot for all lots in the area over 25. This fee will cover the costs of filing the document. One of the reasons for the requirements is to make sure developers plan for the future of their buyers. They must provide a 20 foot alley space, a 20 foot set-back building line as well as meet other requirements which may be placed on an area by the Commission. These other requirements could be to require curbs, gutters and sidewalks where they would be necessary. An adequate area must also be set aside for recreational areas in all acreage subdivided which is 20 acres or more. After going over the document, the Commission agreed the plan would protect the county, the buyer and the tax payer without causing too heavy a burden on the developer. With Tuesday's meeting, it was evident there would be no more bringing in a few lines scratched on the side of a paper sack and calling it a subdivision plan. Things must now be done right, or the request will be turned down. The new document also provides penalties for selling lots in an area which would qualify as -a subdivision without first filing the plan and meeting the requirements. next year", Daniell said. Dan- iell said his proposed budget reflected a reduction of $20,268 from the current figure. Sheriff Raymond Lawrence had stated in a talk before a Port St. Joe civic club last week that he would reduce his budget for the coming year. Tuesday night, however, he had a letter addressed to the Commission which took ex- ception to the Commission's call for a 10 percent reduction. "Each department head knows better than the Com- mission what it- will take to operate his department to adequately serve the public's needs", Lawrence said in his letter. The Sheriff said his budget would reflect enough money needed to adequately protect and provide competent law enforcement services for the county. "The budget will be drawn to fit the county's needs", Lawrence said in hi$ letter. The Commission and. the Sheriff were at odds at the last budget session over his re- quests and finally reached a - compromise. OTHER BUSINESS In other business, the Com- mission: -Agreed to county em- ployees working a four day week to take off next Thurs- day for the July Fourth holi- day. Five day a week em- ployees and the Courthouse will be off on Friday. -Heard a report from at- torney William J.

Sheriff Lawrence said the department had four deputies qi.duty 24 hours.a day with no aWcations and no days off in 1973. The agency now .has seen deputies, working two shifts, with provisions made for days off. "In addition, we have the Sheriff's Auxiliary which gives us broader cover- age and allows us to offer more services", Lawrence Lawrence stressed that the department now has certified people filling every job in the service, from search and res- cue to crime investigation. "As a result, we have been commended by the Florida Law Enforcement Agency for our method in presenting evi- dence in a case and the accuracy of the evidence pre- sented in a case". Lawrence said the department has also earned the praise of the State's Attorney's office in this same area.... The depart 6has an- swered 2.458 c64 ints in the past 15 months.. I don't know how many we answered be- fore this", Lawrence, "be- cause the department never kept files on its cases as we do now." The Sheriff also said the Gulf County agency has con- victed more drug peddlers in the past year than any other county in Florida. "This isn't because we have more", Law- fence said, "We have just worked hard a.t taking the drug source, chiefly mari- juana, out of the reach of our children". In finances, Sheriff Law- rence said the department has increased its budget $53,000 over the past three years, largely because of the addition. of three more men and three more vehicles and increased services. "We realize money, especially tax money, is tight and we are going to cut our Wewa Plans 4th Celebration An old-fashioned Fourth of. July celebration is being plan- ned for the City of Wewahitch- ka on the Friday holiday. The. activities which will last from four p.m. to 11 p.m. will include pony rides, horse shoe pitching, greased pole climb- ing, sack races, volley ball and softball competition, and will culminate in a street dance that evening. Beef and pork barbecue din- ners in addition to tasty treats offered by other concession stands may be purchased. Area residents are cordially invited to join the townspeople in what promises to be a safe, sane and wholesome day of merriment in celebration of America's birthday. E Etaoin Shrdlu By: WESLEY R.

There was often a pretty and soft new-born calf to be loved and caressed by a young family that was rich in humil- ity and kindness, and who never had a thought about milk in tin cans, or a cattle- dipping vat that was contribu- ting to the sudden changes in their unknown physical to- morrows. Green 'N SGrassy By Mike Beaudoin The Perfect (Almost) Every married couple dreams about (but none believes there is such a thing as) the perfect marriage. Actually, there is no such thing, although there lives not a married who at one time or another has not been told that he (or. she). is' ih- ferior to "Susie's husband"' The Green.& Grassy .Re- search Foundation. has- ust completed a 20-year study of the problem. Its main fin- ding is that there is no perfect marriage, but it also says it's a good thing there isn't because-.then married couples would never know the fun of making up after a good fight. On the other hand, the G & G survey found that most marriages would be happier (and many more would stay married) if the principals would employ certain means of making their marriages better than average. Whether you're a new- lywed or a veteran at this marriage business you can benefit from im- provement. Here are the recommendations made by the G & G Foundation. First and foremost it must be clearly understood that the honeymoon won't last forever. In a few months you'll find out who this person you married really is - and it may surprise you! When children come, he must realize that she won't have as much time for him. Marriage She should, however, not forget him completely. Money arguments,. a common complaint should never occur. Both should share in the spending decisions and each MUST have his own little fund to spend as he sees fit. The non- working wife must never be made to feel that he's "giving her money" and the working wife should never use that "it's my money" expression. Never, never argue in .front of the kids, especially on matters of discipline. Have it out in private but present a united front before the youngsters. Spend a few days apart once a year. This is im- portant because it shows him how much work around the house isn't done by elec- tricity and it shows her that he does do a few chores around the house oc- casionally. Each should have a night ouit'with the boys, or girls, once every two weeks at least. (If for no other reason so you won't get in a rut, or get tired of looking at one another.) Finally, the whole sit- uation would be helped if they would amend the marriage vows to read "promise to love, honor, obey and never say an ugly word about my mother-in- law." DIT-ORIALS DIT RIALS been interesting with John in there. I see where the Federal Communications Commission is going. to put a stop to these famous people endorsing certain products unless they do, in fact, use them for a period of time, at least. I'don't see where this is going to cut down on the endorsements or the lucrative source of revenue for actors, athletes, former astronauts, etc. For a few thousand dollars, they can be persuaded to use, drink, or eat those things they put their name on in TV commercials. It will cause problems, however. Just watch Joe Namath this fall, playing football while wearing the panty-hose he has endorsed. He appeared on TV decked out in a pair of the sheerest .panty-hose. I can just see it now: Namath will fade back to pass and the linebacker will charge.&Down will go Joe in a could of dust and a chorus of grunts and the referee will drop his handkerchief. "Fifteen yards penalty on the linebacker for tearing a run in Joe's panty-hose!" Or, it could be Joe will fade back to pass and the referee will drop his little red flag and penalize Joe for 15 yards for being out of uniform. Failure to have the mouthpiece in place draws 15 yards; failure to put on the panty-hose should bear the same penalty. ... ,Then, there's that cutie who advertises a certain shave cream. Somehow, she just doesn't strike me as the type who would have any use fdt shave cream. If the FCC goes ahead and makes its new proposed ruling stick, there will be problems. Just because the Golden Anniversary Cele- bration is over doesn't mean there is nothing to do in Port St. Joe; especially on the week ends. Last week, for example, there was a hotly-contested ladies' softball tournament going at the Dixie Youth League parks, along with a tennis tournament on the Eighth Street courts. Both these tournaments involved players from out of town as well as our own local products. They had the crowds, too. The parking area in the recreation complex was filled and the bleachers around the ball parks were crowded with spectators. The only strange part about the whole thing was hearing the cheer leading being done in a bass voice rather than the clear, tinkling soprano of the fair sex. The ladies playing softball were serious about their game. I saw one lady from Kinard hit a home run with two on base and you would have thought it was Hank Aaron hitting his number 715 all over again. If you didn't care for tennis or ladies softball, you could go down to the Fire Station and watch the dogs get vaccinated. Don't make fun of this show. Every time a new dog would arrive, there would be a near fight, with half a dozen of the more rowdy dogs greeting the new arrival with a chorus of barks, growls and a straining at the leash. When the one holding the belligerent dog failed to have a grip strong enough, things did get interesting. It's a show worth catching next time the veterinarian comes to town. I saw a quotation in a paper the other day which fully explained the state of the economy in layman's language where even I could under- stand it. Here it is: "In order to clarify the cautious terminology of the experts, it should be noted that a slowing down of the slowdown is not as good as an upturn in the down curve, but it is a good deal better than either a speedup of the slowdown or a deepening of the down curve; and it does suggest ,that the climate is about right for an adjustment to the readjustment." "Turning to the unemployment, we find a definite decrease in the rate of increase, which clearly shows that there is a letting up of the letdown. Of course, if the slowdown should speed up, the decrease in the rate of increase of unemployment would turn into an increase in the rate of decrease of unemployment. In other words, the deceleration would be accelerated." Now that you understand that, fully, I'll just sign off for this week. The cattle dipping act dur- ing the 1920's for the eradica- tion of cattle ticks. was diffi- cult at times, but never reach- ed the brass-knucks and shot- gun stage of action in our area. A friend made the comment during the height of the dip- ping season that some men should be vat treated at least once a month. This was his own personal idea and nothing was ever done about. the sug- gestion of dipping a few men, just for the fun. Two men did accidently stumble into the vat one night. They were believed to be the same two who were noticed coming and going from a nearby homebrew joint all afternoon before the accident. Both were rescued without injury after sloshing around in the brick and cement vat for awhile, but the water and the chemicals in the vat had tobe changed the next day, before the cattle could enter the vat and swim to the other side. Another change in the en- vironment at this time was the plentiful supply of five-cent cans of milk in the stores. The cheap milk and the dipping vat, in a short time, just about eliminated the old time cow- lots and milk cows. In the wonders and intense, suddenness found in most all, forms of change for physical survival, the heart with its warm sentimental reserva- tions often keeps beautiful pictures of the apparent sud- Area Women Get FSU Degrees TALLAHASSEE Florida State University conferred de- grees upon approximately 5,863 students at the June 14 commencement exercises in Doak Campbell Stadium.

Congressman Sikes congratulates Raffield Raffield Installed As President of Fisheries Association June 14 Gene Raffield, general manager of Raf- field Fisheries in Port St. Joe, was installed as President of the Southeastern Fisheries Association by Congressman Bob Sikes at the group's convention in St. Petersburg June 14. .Raffield .is a, sixth generation Floridiana and will be the 24th President of one of the country's largest regional fisheries Associa- tions. ,Southeastern Fisheries has over 400 members that employ over 12,000 persons in the commercial fishing industry and is recog- nized nationwide for its conservation efforts and pollution abatement stands. Sikes was selected as the outstanding Florida Congressman for his efforts during the past year in getting some badly needed consumer education dollars disimpounded from the office of management and budget. During the convention, Harmon Shields brought the association up to date on all the legislation that was passed in the recent session in Tallahassee. Shields has long been recognized as a true friend of'the industry by member's of Southeastern Fisheries. Representative A. H. Craig of St. Augus- tine was recognized as the outstanding Florida legislator during the gathering. The commercial fishing industry, faces many hardships during'the'toming year with the price, of diesel fuel being one of the gravest. The Florida legislature recognized the dilemma of fuel prices and passed legislation that would have rebated the four per cent sales tax commercial fishermen pay on diesel fuel, but Governor Askew vetoed the mea- sure. A strenuous attempt will be made during the next session of the Florida legisla- ture to override the Governor's veto but chances are always slim according to Bob Jones, Executive Director of the Association. The commercial fishermen in Florida harvested over 171 million pounds of seafood in 1974 which is still below the record harvest of 241 million pounds harvested,in 1938. "Overwhelming" Response to Girl Scout Camping The response to the resident camp program in the Girl Scout Council of the Apa- lachee Bend has been over- whelming. Applications have been pouring in, particularly from the Junior age girls. Several of the Junior sessions filled almost immediately. As a result, the Council has de- cided to open up two more Junior sessions. They are as follows: Session 18-July 20 through 26, Artists. Session 19-August 3 thru 9, Thespian and Terpsichorean. There are still some open- ings in Cadette Session 12 (Beachcombers Camp Elea- nor) slated for July 27 through August 2. Brownie sessions which still have spaces are: Session 5-July 6 through 12, Brownie Special. Session 7-July 13 through 19, Brownie Special. Persons who wish to send their daughters to any of the above-mentioned sessions may either use the application attached to the camp folder if they have one or may request a folder from: The Girl Scout Council of the Apalachee Bend, P. 0.

"These guys are plenty good", Brady said, "but there are three or four more guys entered who could beat these four if they are playing their good game." Checking Licenses Florida wildlife officers will begin a strict check for fishing licenses on July 1, and, if you plan to go fishing on or after this date, be sure to have the new 1975-76 license, otherwise you may be subject to arrest for fishing without a license. According to Dr. 0. E. Frye, director, Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission, the new licenses have been on sale since June 2 and are valid until June 30, 1976. Fishing and hunting licenses are avail- able at the offices of all tax collectors and their license agents. Frye said, "Buying a fishing license is a matter of obeying a state law as well as a method of helping raise money to pro- vide better fishing. All funds from the sale of licenses are used to improve hunting and fishing conditions." One dollar from the sale of each three dollar fishing license is set aside in a fishing improvement fund and can be used only to improve the state's fresh water fishing. , A resident fishing license costs $3.00, or a sportsman may purchase a combination hunting and fishing license for $10.50.

Ballet, Executive Director Roses produce the maxi- mum amount of flowers avail- able on any flowering plant says'Florida Nurserymen and Growers Association (FNGA). Rose bushes require more care than many of our other plants but the reward is great- er. Care of rose bushes during the summer months can be a problem, The plant is growing rapidly and unless it is pruned Help On Insurance Offered State Treasurer and Insur- ance Commissioner Philip F. Ashler announced this week that his local service office located in Panama City which provides service for Port st. Joe assisted in the recovery of $26,732.75 which was returned to the policyholders. This re- fund resulted from questoins being asked by individual citizens who took the. time to contact the Commissioner's representative who visits Port St. Joe on first and third Thursday at 10:00 a.m. in the County 'Judge's office. Did you know that by simply calling or writing the Com- missioner's service office located in Panama City at 231 E. Fourth St., telephone 763- 4601 and making an appoint- ment to meet his representa- tive during his visit to your city, the following valuable services are available to you? -Assistance in receiving payment of valid claims. -Answers to questions re- lating to all lines of insurance. -Assistance in complying with Compulsory Automobile Insurance Law and Financial Responsibility Law. Answers to questions re- lating to insurance agents and insurance companies sales activities. So the next time you or any of your friends have a question relating to insurance, we sug- gest that you use the services provided by Commissioner Ashler. You may find it both educational and monetarily rewarding. at the time the flowers are cut you may need a stepladder to reach those gorgeous blos- soms. Rose like other plants need fertilizer. Use a special rose fertilizer for best results. This should be applied at least every three or four weeks. Insects and diseases never take a vacation. They are con- stantly plaguing your fast growing rose. Continue throughout this period in applying Fore or Dithane M-45 for the control of black spot. Spider mites can be a pro-, blem, but during heavy rainy seasons they will be at a mini- mum. Should they become a problem apply a weekly appli- cation of Kelthane. Frequent rain showers bring about excessive vegeta- tive growth on hedges says Florida Nurserymen and Growers Association. Extre- neous long growth can provide an unsightly appearance in an 'otherwise well trimmed hedge. Carry a pair of pruning shears with you if you walk around the grounds. Remove these long shoots. Hedges need to be clipped more fre- quently if they are formal. Dead palm fronds should be removed to prevent damage from strong blowing winds. It is not unusual for certain types of palms to have heavy seed sets. These too should be removed before the seed drops. The green carpet you call a lawn needs attention. If you have St. Augustine it must be sprayed every 60 days to pre- vent chinch ,bug damage. At. the time you spray for chinch bugs use a material to control sod webworms. Bahia grass lawns are pro- ducing an abundance of seed heads. Frequent mowing will be necessary. Do not forget that Bahia is exceptionally tough. In order to prevent a brownish cast to your lawn sharpen the mower blade very frequently. Now is an excel- lent time to establish a new lawn says Florida Nursery- men and Growers Association. The hot, humid weather with lots of rain can provide quick establishment. Do not be left, with a ragged Unsightly lawn. Renovate it now. NO. 1 DRIVE-IN THEATRE Apalachicola, Fla.

CoI.nel Etdrige; Beach,-. direcor of the Patrol said, "Bicyclists and pedestrians have specific duties and re- sponsibilities spelled out in Florida statutes. They should know and. obey these laws. which were made for their protection." eBeach said the law calls for pedestrians to use sidewalks where available or if not to walk on the left side of the roadway facing traffic. Streets should be crossed at crosswalks where available. Never leave the curb and walk or run into the street and always obey the pedestrian control signals. It is unlawful for pedestrians to stand on the paved portion of the roadway to "hitchhike" a ride. According to Beach bicy- clists must obey traffic control devices and right-of-way pre- ferences because they have the same rights and.duties as the driver of a vehicle. In addition no more persons may ride on a bicycle than it was THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. MINUTES of the Gulf County School Board 1,_ ________^ ^ The Gulf County School Board met in regular session on May 6, 1975. The following members were present: Wal' lace Guillot, Chairman; Her- man *Ard; J. K. Whitfield; Gene Raffield and Fred Greer. The .Superintendent was present. The meeting was opened with the invocation by Guillot. This was followed by the pledge of allegiance. On motion by Greer, second- ed by Whitfield, all voted Yes to approve the minutes of April 8, 1975 with one change in the lunchroom equipment bids, and to approve the min- utes of April 25, 1975. The Superintendent present- ed correspondence received during April. No action was required. A group representing the Wewahitchka Elementary School P.T.A. met with the Board to discuss the lunch- room at this school center. The group inquired as to whether the lunchroom at this site could be operated as a separate entity, rather than as a satellite. The Board inform- ed the group that the satellite arrangement was the recom- mendation of the State De- partment of Education, and that new equipment was on order for the Wewahitchka Elementary School lunch- room. The Board received a re- quest from Nan Parker, a student at port St. Joe High School, that she be allowed to attend the summer session at Gulf Coast Community Col- lege. On motion by Raffield, seconded by Ard, all voted Yes to approve this request. The Board received'letters of suspension from Temple Watson, Assistant Principal, Port St. Joe High School, and Harrell Holloway, Principal, . Wewahitchka High School, re- garding violation of the rules by students. On motion by Greer, seconded by Ard, all voted Yes to approve these suspensions. The Superintendent present- ed a list of administrative per- sonnel to serve on the Super- intendent's negotiation team. Those to serve are Harrell Holloway, Barbara Shirley, William Linton, Temple Wat- son and Edwin Williams. The matter was tabled. On motion by Ard, seconded by Greer, all voted Yes to accept the lowest and best bid of Walter Duren on two used school buses. Copies of all bids are on file in the Superinten- dent's office. On moton by Whitfield, seconded by Greer, the Board agreed unanimously to adver- tise for bids on architectural services for the Phase II of the vocational program, and a gymnasium at Wewahitchka High School. The Superintendent present- ed the District Procedures for Exceptional Children On intended to carry. Never "hitch" a ride on a car or truck. Bike riders should ride as near to the right side as Possible .andLn't" more than two abreast. Where bicycle I paths are provided they must"" be used. Beach concluded by saying, "In 1974 there were 106 pede- strians and 48 bicyclists of school age killed in Florida. Many of these deaths could have been prevented by fol- lowing the rules of safe walk- ing and riding."

Copies are on file in the Superintendent's office. On motion by Raffield, sec- onded by Greer, the Board un- animously approved a budget amendment, Resolution Four to Part IV. This reflects a transfer of funds. The parents of a student at Port St. Joe High School met with the Board to request that an investigation be made re- garding the student having lost a textbook. The Board agreed to meet with the ad- ministrative staff at Port St. Joe High School in an effort to reach a satisfactory agree- ment. A representative of the Thuro-Clean Systems met with the Board to outline their program for organized custo- dial services. Otis Pyle, manager, St. Joe Motor Company, met with the Board regarding outstanding invoices under the Port St. Joe High School account. The Board assured Mr. Pyle that these invoices would be check- ,ed out and prompt payment rendered. The Gulf County School Board met in special session on May 20, 1975, with the fol- lowing members present': Wallace Guillot. Chairman; Herman Ard: Fred Greer and Gene Raffield. Board member -Whitfield was absent. The Superintendent was present. Requests were received from Susan Quarles and Toni Mathews, students at Port St. Joe High School, that they be allowed to enter Gulf Coast Community College on early admissions basis. On motion by Raffield. seconded by Greer, all voted Yes to ap- prove these requests. The Superintendent present- ed a report relative to the monies expended toward travel for Inservice Educa- tion. The Thuro-Clean Company of Port St. Joe presented a proposal covering contracted services for custodial and maintenance work on all schools in the system. The Board will study this proposal and meet with the Thuro- Clean Company at a later date.; . There being no further busi- ness, the Board adjourned to meet again in regular session on June 3, 1975 at 5:30 p.m., EDT. Attest: J.

On motion by Raffield, seconded by Greer, all voted Yes to ap- prove this position. Applica- tions will be accepted for this position. On motion by Greer, second- ed by Raffield, all voted Yes to approve the following as the Superintendent's negotiating team: Harrell Holloway, Bar- bara Shirley, William Linton, Temple Watson and Edwin Williams. This appointment is effective until June 30, 1975. There being no further busi- ness,-the Board adjourned to meet again in regular session on June 3, 1975 at 5:30 p.m., EDT. Attest: J. David Bidwell, Supt. Herman Ard, Vice Chairman DRUG ABUSE- A REAL PROBLEM FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF A PHARMACIST -Since WWII science has produced mahy "miracle drugs.," that have saved thousands of lives. Many of you reading this article are alive because of drugs developed by modern medical science. Tlihse miracle drugs, are very powerful. They must be used with great caution. When prescribed by a physician and dis- pensed by a pharmacist, these drugs can save lives-when misused they can ruin lives: When properly used, they can ease pain-when misused they can cause pain. Drugs can cure illness or cause illness, depending on how we use them. We must regain respect for drugs. T'-6day, it has almost reached the point that when we see the word "Drugs" our first thought is narcotics, marijuana, LSD, pep pills, etc. We think of drugs as a means of getting high, or of so-called expanding the -id, or a means of getting an illicit thrill. As a pharmacist, I have been alarmed over the misuse and' abuse of drugs for many years. Traditionally, drug abuse has always been a low-class habit. It has al- ways been a problem in the slums and ghettos. Paregoric was one of their favor- ites, it was cheap, legal, easily obtained and produced to some degree the feeling ti ('e5 de'sired:-'l hthi any pharmacist will agree with me when I say, "We could spot them when they walked in the door." The ethical pharmacist refused to sell to them and tried to discourage their return. Today paregoric is dispensed on a doctor's pre- scription only. Drug abuse is no longer a low-class habit. This is what has alarmed our society today. This is what has increased my con- cern. When it was confined to the lower classes and used by "dope fiends" instead of "drug abusers," we ignored it, turned our backs on it and so to speak, "swept it under the 'rug." This attitude was one of our greatest mistakes. Since the early 1960's there has been a spiraling increase in the use of hallucino- genic drugs by teenagers and young adults. Today it has the image of being the "in" thing, it's cool, it's glamorous. Edu- cation must destroy this image. I have had young people ask me if I thought mari- juana would be tomorrow's alcohol. To me it sounded ridiculous, to them it sounded reasonable. This brings up another point that as adults we must face. We adults are just as guilty of drug abuse as any teenager. Every time we point one finger at teenagers, we can point another finger at ourselves. The major difference I have observed is that adults tend to abuse' drugs that are legal when obtained by prescription such as sleeping pills and pep pills; whereas teenagers tend to abuse illegal drugs, drugs that have no legiti- mate medicinal use such as marijuana, LSD and heroin. The busy executive who takes tran- quilizers four to five times daily, to relax, the housewife who stays a bit high on diet pills, the many adults who have totake sedatives uto go eto sleep-are guilty of,, abusing drugs."Where theblame lies anp how extensive his "sickness" is can be a mattero.f debate. That people, other than addicts' and hippies, are drug abusers is a fact. And every drug abuser has long hair. In 1 965 the Federal Government passed the Drug Abuse Control Amend- ments. The purpose of the amendments was to prevent the misuse of, and illicit traffic in depressants, stimulants, hallu- cinogens and other non-narcotic drugs that have a potential for abuse because of their effect on the central nervous system. Stimulants and depressants,, and other central nervous system drugs which have proven therapeutic value, may be sold legally with a physician's prescription. The. hallucinogens have no proven thera- peptic value at this time arid are not legally available. Prescriptions for the "controlled" drugs mentioned above, may not be filled or refilled more than six months after the date of issue or refilled more than five times. However, the physician may authorize a new prescription with its necessary refills if more of the medication is needed after the first six months. These amendments have added lots of additional work for the pharmacists across the nation, but we feel that they are needed and the good they do offsets the extra work required of us. Today, we are required to keep the same inventory con- trols on depressants, stimulants and tran- quilizers as we do on narcotics. .q Every time I talk on drug abuse, some parent asks what they can do if their child is 'taking unprescribed drugs. This is completely out of my field. However, I would like to offer a few very basic con- crete suggestions to parents. AVOID PANIC. A panic reaction can serve onl. 0o alienate the personj further and to confuse what should' t6nstraight-for- ward and objective. KEEP THE LINES OF COMMUNICA- TION OPEN. Encouraging an atmosphere in which the teenager feels free to confide in you and to discuss his problems is an important first step. Many parents, how- ever, feel uncomfortable and defensive about discussing drugs with their teen- agers. This is sometimes due to the aware- ness of our own inconsistencies in the use of everyday substances like alcohol and tobacco. AVOID SCARE TACTICS. This method is usually ineffective because the teenager's knowledge frequently contra- dicts them. Given the facts, youngsters often quickly respond. AVOID CREATING AN ATMO- SPHERE OF DISTRUST AND SUSPI- CION. An attitude of suspicion and con- stant surveillance will not eliminate the problem. It would, however, almost cer- tainly destroy the feeling of trust and con- fidence that is so essential between child and parent. It is impossible to eliminate or legis- late away all possible substances of drug abuse. The individual must decide for himself whether or not to misuse drugs. BE WELL INFORMED YOURSELF ABOUT DRUGS. As a parent you must in- form yourself about drugs. You must be able to talk with them (this also keeps the lines of communication open). Chances are, your child already knows much more about drugs than you do-so get busy, you've got lots to catching up to do. Drug abuse is one of the most complex problems this country has ever faced. Each time a person abuses drugs he creates a health problem, a legal problem, a social problem, a moral problem-the * list could go on and on. What the solution to this problem is no one seems to know. If there is a single group of people that can solve this complex problem, I would say that is the teenagers better than anyone else. In closing, let me say, from a pharma- cist's viewpoint, drugs still have a legiti- mate, respectable place in our society. We must, however, put them back and keep them in their proper perspective. Taht of helping mankind-not hurting mankind.

Photosynthesis is the food manufacturing process car- ried on by plants whereby water absorbed by the roots and carbon dioxide taken from the air are combined to form a simple sugar. As the word "photo" implies, light sup- plies the energy. Oxygen is given off as a by-product. And how much oxygen do trees produce? Scientists have estimated that for every pound of wood a tree pro- duces, it consumes almost two pounds of carbon dioxide and releases 'abiut a poun anfid a half of oxygen into the'atmo- sphere to be breathed by man and animals. This becomes important, he adds, when one considers that the average man consumes about one pound of.oxygen daily. These same scientists have also esti- mated that an acre of healthy, well-managed trees can sup- ply the daily oxygen needs of 18 humans. However, only- young and U--------- vigorously, growing trees can produce this amount of oxy- gen, Jensen points out. As: a forest matures, it becomes less efficient as a producer of excess oxygen, as more and more is used by decaying vegetative matter and in- creased respiration. Mature trees and old-growth forests may consume as much or more oxygen than they pro- duce. Thus, harvesting and use of mature trees not only keeps our forests young and vigorous but also keeps the environment in a healthy con- dition. Therefore, the planting of trees and the natural esta- blishment of new forests is doubly important. Trees and plants, also ab- so0,b some ozone and sulphur' dioxide from the air, but over- doses of these pollutants will kill them. Jensen says. All this should be reason and encouragement enough for homeowners and landowners to plant a tree or establish a patch of woods on their pre- mises. Developers of parks, subways and subdivisions will also do well to include trees in their plants, not only for the amount of precious oxygen they can manufacture, but also because they can make any area more beautiful, liva- ble and desirable, Jensen says. In the battle to clean up the atmosphere, trees have been proven to be an ally. They help make the environment healthy and our world in gen- eral a much more pleasant place. With these being facts instead ofr fancies,- everyone should take a greater interest in trees and, whenever pos- sible, plant one. LEDGER SHEETS LEDGER INDEXES lesser cornstalk borer and nematodes. Nematodes have always been a limiting factor in achieving higher yields and the problem has become even more difficult in the past few years as a result of heavy cornstalk borer infestations. These infestations, he ex- plained. may be linked to the area's unusually dry growing season as well as cropping sequences. Rye. for example, -is very susceptible to the- cornstalk borer and many growers plant field corn in the same field that was used for rye earlier in the season. The corn-stalk borer enters the stalk below ground level, which complicates the pro- Florida motorists who now carry the minimum auto lia- bility insurance required" by the Financial Responsibility law must increase their cover- age from $10,000-20,000 to $15,000-30,000 beginning July 1., , Passed by the 1973 Legisla- ture, the law raises the mini- mum liability coverage to 15-30 ($15,000 per person for bodily injury or death and $30,000 per accident). The present property damage lia- bility limit of $5,000 will re- main the same. When the higher limits be- come effective in July, there will be a 12 per cent average increase statewide in auto in- surance costs. The premium hikes will vary depending on where the vehicle is garaged, how it is used, the age and driving record of the driver and the particular insurance cQmpany's rating plan. Insurance Commissioner - Treasurer Philip F. Ashler said the increase from 10-20 to 15-30 will also affect pre- miums for uninsured motorist Coverage unless the policyhol- der previously rejected this coverage or now carries 15-30 or higher limits of uninsured motorist coverage. - Insurance companies will notify their policyholders who carry bodily injury liability blem of getting materials to the pest. Similarly, the sting nematode and stubby root nematode are capable of cut- ting yields as much as 100 percent. Furthermore, there is no reliable method of pre- dicting the severity of the cornstalk borer from one sea- son to the next, hence the need for preventive treatments at planting time. There .are no known biological control agents to control this pest at the present time. Growers have achieved "fairly good" control of these pests using currently register- ed materials such as Mocap, Furadan, and Dasanit. But, he emphasized, a new insecticide insurance or uninsured motor- ist coverage below the new 15-30 limit of the cost of the increased coverage. Ashler said, "I urge auto insurance consumers who re- ceive renewal notices from their companies to read them carefully to make sure they understand how the law will affect their coverage. Policy- holders having any questions or problems should contact their agent or the local De- partment of Insurance Service Office for assistance." Deadline for Boat Registration A check with a number of tax collectors around the state revealed many pleasure boat owners have not re-registered their boats to date, Harmon Shields, executive director of the Department of Natural Resources, stated today. Since June 30 is the deadline to have boat registrations renewed and falls on a Mon- day, Shields reminded boaters to be sure and register before that date. The director urged boaters to avoid a last minute rush by stopping by their county tax collector's office now to re- register their boats. material called "Counter" (manufactured by American Cyanamid) is providing "out- standing" control of lesser cornstalk borer and stubby- root nematodes in tests at Matthews' farm. Counter is presently cleared for use on corn rootworms in the Mid- west and labeling is expected for lesser cornstalk borer in Florida by next year. Good results were also achieved with another new (American Cyanamid) com- pound-presently numbered 64475-and-Thimet, a product already on the market and registered for field corn. He said the tests are designed to measure the usefulness of various materials to control both soil-borne insects and nematodes. Lesser cornstalk borer dam- age was noticed just 12 days after planting in April, Dick- son said. An average of 2.4 per cent of the plants were affect- ed in the treated beds whereas 14.5 per cent were affected by the pest in untreated rows. Nineteen days after planting, 7.1 per cent of the treated plants were affected versus nearly .55 per cent in the un- treated rows. These figures, he said, are averages for all materials tested. Data for Counter, the new product, were most dramatic. In one test, less than five per cent of the plants treated with this material showed any damage whereas 56.1 per cent of the plants in a nearby un- treated plot were damaged by the lesser cornstalk borer. Dickson said most of "the materials could be applied in liquid or granular formula- tions, but the latter was used in the Matthews' farm tests. The materials were applied at planting time in a seven-inch band in the row. Looking for office supplies? Come see what we have in stock.
