Board Hikes SchoolLune



Prices In Action Tuesda)


The Gulf County School
:Board met in' a six hour
-session Tuesday afternoon
and on into the night, with the


bulk of the meeting being
taken up with examining bids
for services for the coming
year and personnel matters.


Rustlers Active


Cattle rustlers are active on Gulf County cattle ranches,
according to Sheriff Raymond Lawrence. In the photo above,
Sheriff Lawrence and Vann Maraman, foreman of MK
Ranches examine what was left of a steer somebody
butchered near the ranch. The Sheriff's Department is
investigating the theft.


In personnel matters,
George Cooper, Jr., of Wewa-
hitchka asked the Board for
some clarification of his posi-
tion with the system since
Thuro-Clean, Inc., has taken
over the custodial duties in the
system. Cooper was a main-
tenance man and bus driver
for the schools in Wewahitch-'
ka. His job had been abolished
in an economy move prior to
the contract with Thuro-Clean
and he is presently working
with the firm. Cooper's ques-
tion was what his position was
with the Board if the firm's
contract is not re-newed next
year. Cooper wanted clarifica-
tion of his seven years senior-
ity with the system.
The Board told Cooper he
would be considered for re-
employment in the event the
contract is not re-newed, just
as the other former mainten-
ance and custodial personnel.
In another personnel mat-
ter, James Wood an instructor
in the industrial arts program
at Port St. Joe High School,
asked for employment under
continuing contract status.
Woods has worked in the
system for a year. Gulf County
normally doesn't grant a con-
tinuing contract to an instruc-
tor until he has served in the
system for three years. Woods
said he had the continuing
status in his former service in
Wakulla and felt he should be
eligible here.
The Board decided against
offering this type contract to
Woods at the present time.
The Board decided to in-
crease the prices of milk,


lunch and breakfast d
the coming school year.
All inches were hike
increasing. K-6 lunches t
and 7-12 lunches to 50c
adults will pay $1.00 for
dinner, an increase of
Breakfast, which is offer


the Wewahitchka school only,
will be increased from 25c to
30c.

Students purchasing milk to
drink with their meals this
coming year will pay 10c for a'
half pint carton.
Walter Wilder, director of
the county recreation depart-
ment reported to the Board
that in its six' months of
operation, the recreation de-
partment has provided activi-
ties for 1,200 people. "This
doesn't include mass activi-
ties such as softball, movies,
special olympics and related
activities", Wilder said.
He pointed out the program
would be within its annual
$26,000 budget when the year
ends, "with the help of organi-
zations which have cooperated
with us during the past few
months". He pointed to a need
for an area in which to give
swimming instruction and ad-
ditional softball facilities in
Port St. Joe. "At present,
there are 18 softball teams
trying to use one softball field
in Port St. Joe", Wilder said.

The School Board was sche-
duled to begin work on its new
budget in the Tuesday session,
but delayed the matter to a
special session Thursday, Au-
gust 14, due to the length of
Tuesday's meeting.

Water, WaterEverywhere


Last week's torrential rains
showed up some need for drainage,
that's for sure. To be fair about the
situation, we feel no drain system
which could be constructed in the
Port St. Joe area would have
prevented some flooding in such a
deluge. We do feel that some
attention given to a few key areas
might reduce some of the water
back-up in future floods.
Port St. Joe is in the position
"that when the tide is in during such
,downpours we can expect flooding
conditions. Our drainage goes into
Sthe Bay and when the tide 'is higher
Ethan much of the elevation here in
.the City, the water will not drain off.
;z It was evident also that several
s main drains serving the city had
\: bottlenecks which wouldn't allow the
water to run off as fast as ,it could,
had the drains been adequate..

A few weeks ago, one of the'
pipes carrying drainage through
Forrest Park collapsed and should
be repaired. It was evident'that one
drain pipe in the area isn't enough to
carry off the water.
Too, several existing drainage
facilities in the city and area were
stopped up. Only periodic inspection
will keep this from really becoming
a problem in time of excessive
rainfall. Since most of our heavy
rains occur in the same seasons each
year, perhaps a routine inspection
just before this season begins would
help.
At any rate, even though we had
more rain than any drain system
could handle, we feel some relief can
be- given which- will even further,

We hope cessation of the rains
doesn't also cause cessation of
concern over drainage problems we
have in severatl;areas.

s of the Atlanta Public Li- Gulf County could possibly use the
adopted a resolution aimed at bicentennial and its reminding us of

Gulf County, the Port St. Joe making a lasting contribution to the
Club has said it wants to bicentennial, the people of Port St.

mission to proceed with its Club in its efforts, we could truly
build a new library building give a nation a lasting monument of
St. Joe ..We feel, that as this one of the concepts of freedom.


Hands Across the Nation


A Chicago attorney, Marvin J.
Rosenblum, had a unique idea for
next July 4: a human chain of
millions of Americans holding hands
:- from sea to sea.
Nothing like this has ever been
; done in this nation before. We have
seen the building of a trans-conti-
nental railroad being used as a
symbol of a united nation; the
- crossing of the nation by telegraph
wires, then telephone communica-
tions, for the sake of drawing the
country closer together.
-* With the idea being born to cross
.the nation with Americans joining.
S.hands, we now have our best idea yet
of the symbol of a nation pulling
together to further the freedom of
,; mankind.
-.:: Attorney Rosenblum compares
the idea with a Mt. Rushmore, a


Great Wall of China, in expressing
the concept of hands across the
nation.
Rosenblum figures it will take
about four million persons, or rough-
ly two percent of the nation's
population, with. 1,320 persons per
mile, each standing four feet apart
to form the chain.,
Even though such a project
faces formidable obstacles, such as
getting around natural barriers such
as the Rocky Mountains, deserts and
great bodies of water, it can be done.
Just getting the people into position
could be a monumental organiza-
tional problem.
There is no doubt that, despite
the problems involved, such a
human chain would be a sight to see.
We feel its impact would be well
worth the effort.

Keep Kids

In School
William Smith explained
how a program operated by
the Gulf County schools keeps
kids in school last Thursday.
In speaking to the Rotary
Club, Smith said approximate-
ly 30 kids were kept in school
last year, who otherwise
might have dropped out. "We
teach employable skills, help
the kid find a part time job and
help him with his studies",
Smith said.
The instructor. said there
are two factors which cause a
kid to drop out of school: not
able to keep up scholastically
and not able to keep up with
the other kids financially.
"If a kid can meet the
normal standard with his
grades and feel he can com-
pete with the others, he will
usually stay in school", Smith
said.
The speaker asked for the
help of the club members in
locating jobs for his charges.
"We need jobs for boys and
girls", he said, pointing out
that'his present students had
good work records.

Hurricane

It's That Time of Year!
By GULF COUNTY CIVIL DEFENSE
The best way to get ready for hurricanes is know what
they are, the weather conditions associated with them, how
often they occur, and the safety precautions to take.
To put it simply, they're a lot of wind, waves, and rain
and this is probably good enough for most folks who have
weathered many a big blow. But, in a hurricane watch or
hurricane warning, area, especially in coastal areas, a hurri-
cane can be a threat to human life if preparations are not
made before one strikes.
Thanks to modern detection and tracking devices, the
National Weather Service can usually provide plenty of ad-
vance warning so residents can batten down their hatches.
Hurricanes are born in the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of
Mexico, and the tropical Atlantic Ocean. About two-thirds
of them form during August and September but they
strike Florida and Gulf States most frequently in September
and October. Hurricane season officially begins June 1 and
ends November 30.
Most tropical storms form in existing disturbances called
easterly waves.
A squally easterly wave can develop into a storm if
conditions are right, and wind velocity increases as it
intensifies.
The winds spiral inward in a counterclockwise direction
toward a relatively calm eye about 5 to 25 miles in
diameter.
A tropical tempest officially reaches hurricane status
when its sustained surface winds are 74 miles an hour or
more. Winds of 90 to 100 miles an hour are fairly common
in mature hurricanes.
It is estimated that sustained winds in a few of the most
severe hurricanes have exceeded 200 miles per hour,
although such extreme velocities are rare.
Generally, heavy rainfall accompanies a hurricane. The
average amount varies from 5 to 10 inches, but rates in ex-
cess of 20 inches over a 24-hour period have been observed.
The "Cedar Key" hurricane of September, 1950, poured
nearly 39 inches of rain in a day and night on Yankeetown,
a community located on Florida's Gulf Coast.
The coastal land fromin Yankeetown to Tampa was
flooded-for several weeks. This was the greatest 24-hour
rainfall on a small area ever known in the U.S.
The most dangerous single element of a hurricane is the
accompanying high tides and rough seas as the storm moves
across a coastal area. Tides from 3 to 10 feet above normal
are common. In some cases, tides may rise even higher and
flood low-lying inland areas.
The climatologists remind us that hurricanes can cover a
large area. Roughly circular in shape, the storms may
generate dangerous squalls as much as 500 miles from the
center. Winds in these squalls can be very destructive.
A hurricane has two types of motions: one is the rapid
rotation around the center where strongest winds blow; the
other is the forward motion of the entire system, usually at
about 12 to 15 miles an hour. The combination of the two
will usually produce the strongest winds in the storm's right
front quadrant with respect to its direction of motion. The
weakest winds are usually found directly opposite this zone
in the left rear quadrant.
Hurricanes initially move on a west to northwest course
from their birth place in the tropical seas north of the
equator. In this area of the world, their direction is toward
North America. Frequently, they veer northeastward before
encountering any land mass. If this curvature is delayed or
deflected by a high pressure area, the hurricane may roll
inland along the U.S.' eastern seaboard or Gulf Coast.


back up.The voyage took
,about four: ;weeks....
It wasn't until several years
later that steam -boats began
to make trips to Geneva from
Milton, Pensacola and Mobile.
Some of the early boats were
the Julia, the Eight of Janu-
ary, the Boston and the Mary
Clifton.
The Eight of January was
sunk about four miles above
what is now called Caryville,
then called Half-Moon Bluff.
The location of the sinking has
been referred to as The Eight
of January Cut-Off. The owner
of the boat at the time of
sinking was David H. Keith.
The Boston was sunk on a
place on the river known as
Boston Cove, which is three
miles above Cerro Gordo.
In the 1880's, five boats are
best remembered. The five
boats were not on the river at
the same time, but one began
to run as the others wore out
or left the river. The captains
of the boats were: CoonS, Kol-
metz, Phelps, William Bar-
row, and Bob Martin. The
boats were: The Sunflower,
The Dove, The Little Annie,
,and The Falcon.
The Clerk of the Peerless,
that' famous steamboat that
carried 600 bales of cotton on
one trip, was George H. Ste-
wart, referred to by old-time
rivermen as Amos. Another of
the early boats was The
Brooklyn, a stern-wheeler, 100
ton boat built in Geneva in
1848, registered in Pensacola.
It was on the river until 1854.
The G. G. Little was wreck-
ed in a storm in New Orleans
and her hull has never been
found. The boat was built in
1887, registered in Mobile and
at one time carried the name
Niobrara.
The last of the steamboats
on the river included the
Mary. This boat was one of the
last to carry freight and pas-
sengers and was owned by the
riverboat captain J. D. F.
Ray. The Lena C. was another
of the last boats to ply -the
river and was run by Captain
Z. T. Morris, Sr. who spent
some 20 years on the Chocta-
whatchee and Pea Rivers.
Captain Morris died in 1898.

Webb returned home after a
visit to Colorado and Nebras-
ka. While visiting in Nebras-
ka, she attended a 1943 class
reunion at Fairbury. She visit-
ed with friends and relatives
she hadn't seen in many
years.


Generation, had little hair and overwhelming
guilt feelings.
He also had a son named Irwin. Like most
members of The Younger Generation, Irwin had
lots of hair and an overwhelming contempt for
anybody over 30. "Man, what a mess your
generation made of things," Irwin was fond of
saying. "Because of your bumbling, we face a
society that's racist, militaristic, polluted,
overpopulated and terrorized by the hydrogen
bomb. Thanks a lot."
"I guess we're about the worst generation
that ever lived," Ben Adam would say, nodding
guiltily., "I'm sorry, Irwin." And Irwin would
shrug and go off with his friends to smoke pot.
Ben Adam couldn't help feeling that he was
,,Jnfor a~ bit of. divine wrath in return for his sins.
He was therefore somewhat shaken on-swaken-
ing one night to find an Angel at the foot of his
bed writing in a golden book. e
"I have come, Ben Adam," said the Angel,
"to grant you one wish."
"Me?" asked Ben Adam with surprise.
"Why me?"
."You have been selected by the Heavenly
Computer as typical of your generation," said
the Angel. "And your generation is to be
rewarded for its magnificence."
"There must be some mistake," said Ben
Adam with a frown. "We've been awful. We
created a racist society ."
"But mankind has always been racist,"
interrupted the Angel. "You were the first to
admit it and attempt a remedy."
"And we militarized our democracy. Why,
when I was a boy, we had an army of only 134,000
men."
"You built an army of four million men in
hopes of bringing freedom and democracy to all
the world," said the Angel. "Truly, a noble
goal."
"Well, maybe," said Ben Adam. "But you
can't deny that we polluted the water and the air
and scattered garbage far and wide."
"That is so," said the Angel. "But the
environment is polluted solely because you
constructed the most affluent society the world
has ever seen."
"I guess that's right," said Ben Adam. "Yet
look at the population explosion. Famine 'and
pestilence thi'eaten mankind."
"Only because your generation cured
diseases, increased the food supply and thereby
lengthened man's life-span," said the Angel. "A
tremendous achievement."
"And we live in terror of the hydrogen
bomb," said Ben Adam gloomily. "What a
legacy."
"Only because your generation unlocked the
secrets of the atom in its search for wisdom,"
said the Angel. "What a glorious triumph."
"You really think so?" said Ben Adam,
sitting straighter and smiling tentatively.
"Yes," said the Angel, reading from the
golden book. "Your motives were excellent, your
goals ideal, your energies boundless and your
achievements tremendous. In the eons of
mankind, the names of your generation lead all
the rest. And therefore, Ben Adam, by the
authority vested in me, I grant you one wish.
What shall it be?"
"I wish," sighed Ben Adam, the heavenly
chosen representative of The Older Generation,
"that you'd have a little talk with Irwin."

Change


In Child


Labor


Rules
Florida minors may work a
larger variety of jobs and may
work additional hours as a re-
sult of amendments to the
child labor law which became
effective July 1.
The bill;
-Realigns the language of
the law.
-Authorizes 14 and 15 year
olds to operate farm tractors
in the course of farm work if
they have completed a recog-
nized training course 'in trac-
tor operation. Such recognized
courses are those offered by a
recognized agricultural or
vocational agency.
-Removes provisions
which discriminate on the
basis of sex for minors who
wish to engage in "street
trades"-selling newspapers,
magazines, periodicals or
peanuts, or polishing shoes in
a public place or from house to
house. The only controlling
factor for such minors is hours
during which the work may be
performed.
-Requires that each minor
of compulsory school atten-
dance age working on a farm
during school hours must have
a work permit. This provision
requires *hat migrants .and
crew chiefs get work permits
for all workers under 18.
-Provides that minors 15
years or younger may work
until nine p.m. and 14 and 15
yearl olds may work until 11
p.m. on nights 'preceding a
non-school day. Minors 15
years or younger are still re.-
stricted to a 40-hour, six-day
week. Sixteen and 17 year olds
may work until 11 p.m. and
one a.m. on nights preceding a
non-school day.
-Lifts restrictions on work
certificates and hours for
married minors 16 and 17
years old. However, proof of
marriage is required.
-The bill passed the House
by a 110-2 margin and in the
Senate 35-1. Supporters point-
ed out that, with many of
Florida's schools operating on
split shifts, many youngsters
have more spare time that
could be used to work if de-
sirable or necessary.

Parents of a child who be-
comes six years old between
the dates of January 2 and
June 30 of the 1975-1976 school
year may enter the child in the
first grade at the beginning of
the term if the child can
-demonstrate his readiness for
a first grade program.
Under most circumstances
Florida Statutes require regu-
lar school attendance between
ages of 7 and 16; permitted at
age six. In addition Section
232.01 (1) (g) establishes early
,entrance to first grade as fol-
lows:
"Any child who will attain
the age. of six years subse-
quent to January 1st and
during the school fiscal year of
any school year or at any time
during the first month of the
school year to the first grade
in accordance with uniform
Scriteria,as established by the
jStlae Board of Education
'8ch'ol districts are required
to follow the Florida Depart-
ment of Education procedure
for evaluating the readiness of
children whose parents re-
quest early admittance for
them. Steps to accomplish
*actual enrollment include fil-
ing with the school principal
.completed application and
medical forms-these are pre-
requisites to preliminary
screening; the school admini-
sters a standardized test on
which the child must make an
acceptable score, as well as
school evaluations of the child
in the areas of physical deve-
iopment, social maturation
and perceptual-motor coordo-
nation.
Parents whose children
qualify according to age and
who want their children to go
through the evaluation proce-
dure should see an elementary
-school principal immediately
for application forms and
other details.
DOE guidelines state, "All
early admissions evaluations
shall occur within one month

this means between August 1

because of the time it takes to
administer the individual
readiness evaluations to chil-
dren who pass the preliminary
screening measure and since
all evaluations must be com-

be filed with the school princi-
pals on or before September 8.
To help parents make the
best decision for. their chil-
dren, the Department of Edu-
cation points out that early
entrance is intended only for
those children who can show


that they are ready for first
grade and should not be pre-
vented from doing so just
because they are "too young."
However, DOE feels that most
children entering first grade
should be six years old on or
before January 1 of the school
year-a requirement that has
been in effect for many years.
Further, it suggests that for
the child who will be six after
January 1, a kindergarten
program will foster his educa-
tional progress and address
his learning needs more ap-
propriately than placement in
a program for which he is not
sufficiently mature.

Know Your Onions
Onioh may hold the distinction of being
the only vegetable capable of making
anyone cry at any time despite their
mood. But there are a few other onion
"personality traits" grandma may have
never revealed.
For instance, did you know that tin
objects can be polished to a bright sparkle
by rubbing with a raw onion? Or that
brass ornaments will glow when polished
with a soft cloth dipped in the juice of a
boiled onion?
Whether or not you try these tips, there
are some important onion-facts-you should
know: Pungency of flavor is not entirely
related to variety; growing locations and
soils make'the difference. Dry storage is
desirable since humidity encourages root
growth and decay. Don t store onions near
potatoes. The onions will absorb moisture
from the potatoes. Nutrition facts: One
raw onion 2 1." in diameter provides 50
calories, and acts as a good detergent food
for dental health. One cup of cooked
onions equals approximately one-fourth of
the daily recommended allowance of
Vitamin C.

Two archery hunts and one
muzzle gun hunt for white-tail-
ed deer, wild pigs, raccoon
and opossum are scheduled
on St. Vincent Island during
the 1975 .fall hunting season.
According to information re-
leased from the St. Vincent
National Wildlife Refuge
headquarters in Apalachicola,
the dates set are October 30 -
November 2 and November 20
- 23 for.the two bow hunts, and
December 11-14 for the muzzle
loading rifle hunt.
Buck or doe white-tailed
deer may be taken during both
bow hunts; only legal bucks
will be permitted on the
muzzle gun hunt. The white-
tailed deer limit will be one
per day and two per season.
There will be no limit on wild
pigs, raccoons and opossums.
Guns permitted for the De-
cember hunt are muzzle load-
ing percussion cap or flint lock
rifles with single or double
rifled barrels of a minimum
.40 caliber and maximum .58
caliber *ith a minimum bar-
rel length of 20 inches.
A hunting permit issued by


St. Vincent National Wildlife
Refuge will be required to
participate in these hunts.
Permits for the two archery
hunts will be issued on a first-
come, first-served basis to
each hunter as he checks-in on
the Island. No application is
needed to obtain an archery
permit this year. A maximum
of 650 archers will be allowed
to hunt on the Island at any
one time. Three hundred per-
mits for the primitive gun
hunt will be issued those appli-
cants whose names are drawn
at a public drawing to be held
at the Apalachicola office on
November 5. The designated
permit application form must
be received before Noyember
5 to apply for the 1975 primi-
tive gun hunt on St. Vincent
Island. No charge is made for
the permits issued by the Re-
fuge. The permit system is in-
tended to provide high quality
controlled hunts and avoid ex-
cessive overcrowding.
The applicable Florida
Game and Fresh Water Fish-
ing Commission hunting li-
cense is required for all hunts


at St. Vincent National Wild-
life Refuge. Also, a Florida
Archery Season Permit is re-
quired for the October 30-
November 2 bow hunt.
St. Vincent National Wildlife
Refuge consists primarily of a
12,358 acre island near Apa-
lachicola in Franklin County.
Hunting will be permitted on
the entire island during the
1975 hunts. No bridge or cause-
way connects St. Vincent Is-
land with the mainland. No
public transportation facilities
are available. Participants
must arrange for or provide.
their own transportation
across, coastal water to the
Island. This service may be
obtained from some of the
Indian Pass or Apalachicola
commercial boat operators.
Two rough, unimproved
campsites, one on either end
of the Island, have been desig-


nated for those sportsmen who
wish to remain on the Island.
For those not planning to
camp on the Island, motel and
restaurant facilities are avail-
able in Port St. Joe, Apalachi-
cola, East Point and Carra-
belle.
Leaflets providing informa-
tion, hunting regulations and a
letter-size map of St. Vincent
National Wildlife Refuge and
the primitive gun application
form may be obtained by
writing the Refuge Manager,
St. Vincent National Wildlife
Refuge, P. 0. Box 447, Apa-
lachicola 32320.

Doug Locke, President of
the Association of Bay County
Educators and Chairman of
Miracle Strip Uniserv, last
week announced the employ-
ment of Frank T. Buress, Jr.
as the new Executive Director
of the five teacher associa-
tions in Gulf, Bay, Holmes,
Jackson and Washington
Counties.
The Miracle Strip Uniserv is
a cooperative project of the
Association of Bay County
Educators, Gulf County Class-
room Teachers Association,
Holmes County Teachers As-
sociation,. Jackson County
Education Association and the
Washingtbn County Education
Association. All five of the
Associations are local affi-
liates of the Florida Teaching
Profession and the National
Education Association. The


combined membership in the
five local affiliates is approxi-
mately 1,200.
Buress, a native of Califor-
nia, graduated from Califor-
nia State University Sacra-
mento. A former President of
the Student National Educa-
tion Association, he has
served as the Executive Di-
rector of the Henrico Educa-
tion Association in Richmond,
Virginia,' for the past two
years.
Chosen from more than 20
applicants, Buress ,will make
his home in Panama City.
Locke stated that "Our new
Executive Director is a highly
trained 'individual, who will
provide the necessary support
for teachers negotiations and
other Association programs."
Buress is 33.


VV- -.-- ----Wednesday Morn ing Is


.ecoras show that there are
fewer traffic accidents be-
tween the hours of four and six
a.m. on Wednesday than at
any other time said the Flor-
ida Highway Patrol this week.
Colonel Eldrige Beach, Pat-
rol director said, "While some
people are unable to plan their
starting time for trips due to
other circumstances, knowing
the most dangerous hours and
days may help drivers plan
their driving schedules for
maximum safety." -
The records also show that
the four to six p.m. period has
the greatest number of traffic
crashes, with Friday leading
the way. However, the hours
between seven and nine p.m.
are the most deadly. With less
than half as many traffic
crashes than the four to six
p.m. period, there were al-
most one-third more people
killed from seven to nine p.m.
He continued, "While Sun-
day has the least number of
traffic crashes by far, the


number of people killed is
almost as many as Friday and
Saturday. The. periods bet-
ween 10 p.m. and three a.m. o
on Friday and Saturday nights
have more fatal crashes than
any other nights.
"Even if you could plan your


driving time," concluded Col.
Beach, "drive extra carefully
late in the afternoon and es-
pecially around midnight on'
Friday and Saturdays if you
want to continue to Arrive
Alive."

There is a story told
on the light side, that
goes something like
this:
A young man was
writing to his girl friend,
"Darling, there is no-
thing I would not do for
z you. I'd swim the widest
Ocean. I'd climb 'the
highest mountain. I'll
see you Saturday night,
-if it doesn't rain!"
'-,'It's remarkable how
sometimes inconveni-
ence chan change a per-
"`son's attitude. Some
people will do anything
as long as it is conven-
Ilent. The great people of
rthe world are those who
:are helpful and consi-
derate regardless of
conveniences. The
world becomes a better
wiworld because of such
people. A community
becomes a better place
to live when .you have
considerate neighbors.
Nothing stands in the
way of people who are
determined to be help-
ful. And for these people
-we breathe a prayer
of thanks.
OUR THOUGHT TO
REMEMBER: "CON-
SIDERATE PEOPLE
ARE THOSE WHO ARE
MOST LOVED."

of Jacksonville believed that Florida lacked a sufficiently conservative

banking system. In an interview with the press he said:

"Banks are public trusteeships. Their primary object should

be the safe custodianship of the money entrusted to them.... If all

Florida banks had had this in mind there would have been no failures."

That's what our founder, Alfred I. duPont, said 45 years ago.

That's what the Florida National Banks believe today. No other banks

in the billion-dollar class have as high a capital ratio as we do. And

that's just one of the reasons that people call us "The Old Reliable".

Only A Sample

Water was everywhere following the
heavy rains during the first of last week. The
photo above shows water completely covering
a yard on 10th Street. This was only a sample


of many throughout the City. The bottom
photo is not the Chipola River. It is languid
little Chicken House Branch which ordinarily
trickles through Forrest Park. The rains
turned the small stream into a river in just a
matter of a few minutes. Star photos
