County Must Act Now Or Harnalsn


Lose Ambulance Service
coe.b .a


,After several months hav-
ing passed by with no
mention of the matter, it
appeared the problem of
providing gn ambulance ser-:
vice for the County qualifying
under new state regulations
had gone away. But, like the
prodigal child, it came home
again Tuesday night, when
the County learned it had
only days to file a notice. of
intent to do better and must
be making plans for im-
provements by January
True,. the County -does- not
have tdo get into the ambu-.
lance service, nor are they
required to secure or subsi-
"dize private operators to
'.furnish the service.. As it was
explained to the County-


Commission by Bob Smith of
the Department of Commun-
ity Affairs, Emergency Pre-
paredness Division the pre-
sent operators of ambulance
must comply with new
regulations or discontinue
offering the -service.
At present, Comforter Fun-
eral Home is providing the,
only ambulance service in
the County, but- he has said
he will do so only so. long as
he can under past regula-
tions. He has said .he cannot
realize enough. out of the
"service to offer it under new
regulations. The new regula-
tions call for. certain size
vehicles', equipped with spec-.
ified equipment and manned
by a driver and a trained

Collecting

Old Cars

for Reef

A campaign began' in
earnest this week to locate
all, old automobiles in the
county and get permission
from the owners to remove to
a loading spot for transpor-
tation out into the Gulf of
Mexico.
The project is being pushed
by. the Port St. Joe Kiwanis
Club to construct an artificial
fishing reef out in the Gulf of
Mexico. They are being aided
in their efforts by Jthe
County-wide Beautification
Committee of the Gulf County
Golden Anniversary Commit-
tee. The latter committee is
being headed up by Mrs. Bob
Faliski., Mrs. Charles Burch
and Mrs. Bobby Jackson.'
The Committee and all
,members of the Kiwanis Club
are armed -with consent
forms, hunting down the junk
cars. The people attempt to
locate the owner of junk cars.
get their signature on the
forms allowing the car to be
towed away and later remove
the vehicle for transportation
to the fishing reef.
The Beautification Com-
mittee has already secured
the .services of the City of
Port St. Joe and Gulf County
to pick up fhe cars.
The project is scheduled to
get into high gear over the
next two weeks. with a
complete' canvass of every
street in'the area anticipated.

Redeeming Bonds
The Port St. Joe Quarter-
back Club will redeem 15
stadium bonds at the football
game here in Port St. Joe
Friday night.
The Club will also be
selling bonds at the game to.
finance further 'improve-
ments to the stadium.


SEmergency Medical Techni-
cian.
In the words of Smith, "In.
an ambulance approved by.
the state, a 'patient can be
liesurely transported to a
hospital and will be receiving
-medical aid all the way to the
hospital via radio from a
technician advised by a
doctor at a hospital."
But the cost is .another
thing. As Commissioner Wal-
ter Graham brought out, a
minimum program for Gulf
County would require eight
men full time. You're talking
about at least $60,000 per
year" .,, he said.
Smith had the ambulance
coordinator of his department

How does that. nippy air grab you in the
mornings these days;? I'll tell you right now, if
a person just must get up in the morning, it's
great to get up to a bracing cool morning
rather than have to drag out of bed into
another sweltering day. I'm all in favor of
these fall days we're having.
I notice, too, some of the leaves are
beginning to turn and fall off some of the trees.
Too, the turnip greens are becoming plentiful
on the markets and in the back yard gardens.
Spring has its tomatoes, peas, butter beans,
sweet corn and other goodies of the land, but
Fall has its fine eating too. There's sweet
potatoes with flavor, the various greens,
rutabagas, and the fruits, apples, oranges,
grapefruit, tangerines and the like. Like so
many vegetables and fruits synonymous ,with
spring, we have them all year in Florida, but
the taste is there only in the proper season.

The big hews of the week--out-
side the Sharks beating Chipley and
.Alabama laying one on Tennes-
see--had to be the President's
firing of Watergate prosecutor
Archibald Cox. The subsequent
firing of Mr. Ruckelshaus and
resignation of Attorney General
Richardson added spice to an
.already juicy story.
Now the big "wonder" comes
up to try and figure out why the
president made such a move.
There is no doubt but what
Nixon's latest play in the game of
impeach the President will add fuel
to the desire of his enemies to have
him impeached. It will also
probably earn Mr. Nixon a few
more unbelievers for his key chain.
The President, however, goes
merrily along his way, "doing his
Thing" and seeming to dare those
ivho oppose him to do anything
about it.
Whether the President was
right or wrong in his latest
maneuver, we won't hazard to say.
-It does seem natural to assume the
'President should have people in his
cabinet and on his team who are
concerned with making his policies
work. It was hardly any secret that


LETTERS


To The Editor


Dear Wesley:
There were so many people
involved in the recent James
Robison Crusade that it
would be an impossible task
to thank everyone individual-
ly for their efforts, so I would
like to usethis method, to
thank them collectively.
I1 feel Ihe Crusade was good


Mr. Cox seemed more concerned
with getting the President's scalp
than he was in getting to the
bottom of Watergate as he was
ordered to do. In this respect,
Nixon was right in firing the man,
although it may not have been the
expedient move to make at this
particular time.
When we consider Mr. Nixon's
"guts" in this particular maneu-
ver, its hard to believe he was
afraid enough of Mr. McGovern
and the fight he might give to do
the things he is accused of doing.
On the other hand, we believe his
exceptionally loyal followers have
been over-zealous in his behalf.
We believe Mr. Nixon didn't
Know of the dirty tricks until after
they had been done. We believe he
knew about them before the
Washington Post and that he tried
to sweep it under the rug while
putting a stop to such practices at
the same time.
We remember Mr. Nixon's first
coming into office when he said he
wanted to be a President this
nation would not forget. Regardless
of whether he is impeached
tomorrow or continues to serve out
his term, there is no doubt he has
reached his goal.


come. It was great to see
over 500 people come making
a profession of faith in Jesus
as their Saviour.
Words are completely
inadequate to express my
appreciation to everyone who
was involved in the work of
the Crusade and I know the
blessings they received will
go with them forever.
Prayerfully yours.

per Week but we did. It was here
and gone before we knew it. It's no
big sweat, though,' since every
week is National Newspaper Week
with us. Isn't it for everybody?
Just to let you know we aren't
entirely asleep in such important
matters, we want you to know this
is National Cranberry Harvest
Month and International Country
Music Month. So, harvest your
cranberries and cry with your
country music. '
While National Newspaper
Week is already gone, we saw a
fine editorial on the subject, we
wish to pass on to you. It was
written in the Anniston, Ala. Star,
and we know you will like it.

Newspapermen have been up to
a lot lately.
They have been digging busily
into the Watergate affair and
probing police performance in New
York City, looking into the financial
details of Boys Town out in
Nebraska and checking the purity
of the municipal water supply down
in Miami. And a number of them
have been going to jail.
Oh, you know about that?
About Watergate and The Wash-
ington Post's Bob Woodward and
Carl Bernstein?
Sure, a notable piece of
reportage they did, and the Pulitzer
Prize board agreed.
e Journalism is proud of them, as
9 it is always proud of hard-working,
unafraid reporters and editors who
dare to peel the wraps off a
difficult story.
0 But the "big story" is just part
of the story of America's mews-
papers and the people who devote
their lives to the public interest
these days.
Prizes and honors please
newspaper people as much as
anyone else. They highlight the
journalistic homerun, reward extra'
T effort and recognize exceptional
performance and professional
competence.

But, as we said, they only tel
part of the whole story. WhilE
Bernstein and Woodward of the big
Washington Post were winning
Pulitzer for reporting, did yoi
notice that the Pulitzer for editoria
writing went to the tiny Berkshir
Eagle of Pittsfield, Mass., or that
the prize for feature photography
went to Brian Lanker out in
Topeka, Kans.?
The point is that in almost
every corner of America dedicated
men and women, working on
papers ranging in -size from' the
Nashville, Indiana, Brown County
Democrat to the powerful Chicago
Tribune, labor earnestly for their
communities and in a variety of
ways.
From the printer who volun-
teers his time to coach a Little
League team to the advertising
solicitor who gives one evening a
week to advising a Junior
Achievement company, from the
publisher who rejects the ease of
the popular view to back a
controversial editorial stand to the
reporter who puts his personal
freedom on the line to protect his
sources, newspaper people partici-
pate-personally as well as profes-
sionally-in the community life that
is the bedrock of America's
strength.
And very few of them do it for
the occasional prizes; indeed, we're
more accustomed to brickbats.
We do it because we believe.
We believe in the Constitution and
the First Amendment and "free-
dom of the press". We believe that
freedom of the press is not our
freedom but your freedom, and if
we lose it none of us will be free for
long.
But we do it also because we
believe .that professional commit-
ment alone is not enough. For
America's newspapers, large and
small, and for America's thousands
of newspaper people, ours is a
personal commitment of both work
and service.
Newspaper Week 1973 is the
occasion we use to renew and
reemphasize that commitment.

Wewahitchka for a 'little whil-e: On the way'-
back I decided to take a short trip down to 'theb'
Chipola River in the Land's Lake area and
through the Dalkeith Road. These must be the
fastest growing spots in Gulf County.
It has been about five or six years since I
went down in the Land's Lake area and I didn't
e recognize it. A few years back I would go to the
g Chipola River down this road at times to go
a fishing. There wasn't a house on the road then,
1 just a few years back. Now it is built up solid.
1 The same is true for the Dalkeith Road.
e People are moving to this area to get away
from the crowded cities and are fast making
y that area a crowded city in itself. There are
a some fine homes in the area, built from the
paved road all the way through the woods to
t Burgess Creek.

First the Koreans thumbed their small
noses at us. Then the Vietnamese did it. Now
it's the Arabs turn.
The Arab nations have told us they will not
sell us our oil as long as we give aid to the
Jews in the war the Arabs started. I say "our
oil" since American companies have developed
the Arab fields and still operate them-or did
until the Arabs decided to just take them over.
Fifty years ago the United States wouldn't
have stood for this. By now U. S. Marines
would have been on Arab soil protecting
American interests. Now, even Americans
wouldn't stand for the Marines protecting what
is ours.
I know the oil is under Arab land and they
have the right to do with it what they wish. It
seems wrong to me though that the United
States should be the target of the wrath of the
Arabs when we were the ones who developed
the fields which made the current Arab
"muscle" possible in the first place.
Personally, from what I read in the Bible
concerning the Jews, I think our safest bet is to
aid them regardless of what happens to the
Arab oil.


Leaflet Gives Tips


A leaflet that explains how
to apply for medical insur-
ance payments from Medi-
care is available at the
Panama City social security
office.
Called "What Your Medical
Insurance Pays," the leaflet
explains how to submit
claims, when and where to
send bills for doctors' ser-
vices, and how much Medi-
care pays.
The medical insurance part
of Medicare helps pay the
doctor bills and many other
medical expenses of people 65
and over and severely


disabled people under 65 who
have been eligible for month-
ly social security disability
payments for two years or
more.
Single copies of "What
Your Medical Insurance
Pays" are free on request at
the Panama City social
security office, according to
Robert Latta, Social Security
Representative for Gulf
County.
Medicare is administered
by the Social Security Admin-
istration of the U. S. Depart-
ment of Health, Education
and Welfare.

Gulf County has the largest

operating in the State of

tion, director James McInnis
told the Rotary Club last
Thursday.
McInnis said from 60 to 80
students each year graduate
with a high schooldiploma
from the classes offered at
various centers throughout
the county. In addition to the
high school subjects, the
program offers elementary
education as well as various
vocational subjects and spe-
cial courses requested by
groups. On a regular basis,
the Institute offers general

education, sewing, auto me-
chanics, basic electronics,
carpentry, drivers' ed., typ-
ing, bookkeeping, shorthand
and art.
The speaker said that
throughout the State of
Florida the adult education
program is curing illiteracy.
-"But a strange thing is
happening," McInnis said.
"In the past the larger
percentage of our illiterates
have been non-white. This
isn't so any more. The
largest percentage is now
found among the whites. The
non-whites are taking more
advantage of the opportunity
being offered."
McInnis said currently 320
are enrolled in the adult
education courses throughout
the county, with 79 of these


enrolled in one or more of the
vocational classes.

PANAMA CITY-Game
management personnel of
the Game and Fresh Water
Fish Commission currently
are planting winter food plots
for deer and turkey on eight
wildlife management areas in
Northwest Florida, Charles J.
Turner, regional game biolo-
gist, said last week.
He explained that game
birds and animals require
good natural foods and pro-
tective cover at all times in
order to survive, but that
natural wild foods are supple-
mented with plantings where
possible when natural foods
are scarce. This frequently
occurs in winter in some
areas, he said.


Twenty-five acres already
have been planted to wheat
on the Aucilla Wildlife
Management Area, and pre-
paration of 50 acres of wheat
seed bed is in progress on the
Apalachicola Area, it was
said. Plantings on these two
areas are along existing
power line rights-of-way.
Turner further stated that
planting of 40 acres of plots
to oats began on Tuesday of
the Edward Ball Area.
Plantings there will be on
winding six-foot-wide strips
through the forest and
natural habitat area, and the
40-acre total will be the
equivalent of a 55-mile long
six foot strip, of the distance


from Panama City to Bristol.
Benefit of the strip planting
within the habitat area is that
the supplemental food is
readily available to game
without necessity to "travel"
to and from set-aside areas.
He also said that 30 acres
of plots will be planted, also
to oats, on the Gaskin Area,
20 acres on the Robert Brent
Area, 10 acres on the G. U.
Parker Area, 30 acres on the
Point Washington Area, and
80 acres on the Blackwater
Area. Planting of all plots
will be completed prior to the
opening of the regular
hunting season on November
10, weather permitting,
according to Turner.

Carbon

Monoxide

Killer

TALLAHASSEE .- Carbon
monoxide lurks as an unseen
killer in the exhaust systems
of vehicles warned the
Florida Highway Patrol'
today and motorists w2re
urged to have their exhausts
checked for leaks.
Colonel Eldrige Beach,
director of the Patrol said,
"At this time of the year, car
heaters are being turned on
and windows rolled up. When
-the exhaust system of a
vehicle is faulty,. there is
danger of carbon monoxide
gas escaping into the passen-
ger compartment. Replace
all faulty or damaged ex-
haust system parts immedi-
ately."
Carbon monoxide is a
colorless and odorless poison-
ous gas which can cause.
unconsciousness and death.
Leaking mufflers and tail
pipes release their gases
directly under a vehicle.
According to the Patrol, a
vehicle with an exhaust leak
which is stopped with the
engine running and the
windows rolled up for a
period of time can be
extremely dangerous. Avoid
following another vehicle
close enough to draw its
fumes into your vehicle
through the heater or ventila-

birds with
g seasons
ning dove,
woodcock,


snipe, duck, coot and crow.
According to Dr. 0. E.
Frye, Director of the Florida
Commission, the crow has
recently been added to the
list of migratory .brds
because of a treaty between
the United States and Mexico
covering the family to which
the crow belongs.
Frye said, "Prior to the
new classification, crows
were considered unprotected
birds and could be hunted at


Tm
Air


I Il


any time. f'he new migratory
bird treaty act protects the
crow as a migratory bird;
however, an open hunting
season may be established
by 'the states within a
framework provided by the
Federal agency."'
The Federal framework
provides that a state season
not exceed a total of 124 days
and that hunting not be
allowed during the peak crow
nesting season.


The crow hunting season as
established by the Florida
Commission provides daily
hunting from November 10
through January 13 nd
weekend hunting on Satur-
days and. .Sundays from
January 19 through Februaryz
24 and from. June 1 through
November 3 The season will
be closed from February 25
through May. 30.
In recognition of the
destructive habits of crows,


'In


Si'I


both Federal and state
regulations provide that,
"crows may be taken when
committing or about to
commit depredation upon
ornamental trees, agricultur-
al crops, livestock or wild-
life."
According to Frye, there is
no daily bag of possession
limit; however, hunters will
be required to possess a valid
hunting license. Legal hunt-
ing hours are one-half hour


before sunrise to one-half
hour after sunset, and the use
of recorded crow calls or
sounds is prohibited.
"We feel", Frye said, "that
the season as set by the
Commission, which allows
daily crow hunting during a
general open season of 65
days plus a total of 29
weekend hunts, allows sports-
men a maximum crow
hunting opportunity within
the Federal guidelines."

.'with him at the meeting and
:the coordinator, Whiting An-
drews told the Board the
:State would help the County
-purchase the vehicles to get
-into the program. Andrews
:and Smith said that as the
result of a recent survey
made by their department,
:citizens of the county sug-
gested the County offer the
service in cooperation with
--the cities in the county.
: Their recommendation
_:was to ask the City of Port
:-St. Joe to cooperate to the
-:extent of hiring several full
time firemen and use them
jointly in the ambulance
:service. They suggested the
A City -of Wewahitchka utilize
,tfie same system through

.the Volunteer Fire Depart-
:-ment.
Andrews said the County
:must apply a letter of intent
to the State by November 1 to
-be considered for financial
help and should file a plan of
operation around November


THURSDAY, OCT. 25, 1973


15.
The Board agreed to file
the letter of intent and to set
up a meeting with the City
Commissions of Port St. Joe
and Wewahitchka for next
Tuesday night at 7:30 to work
out a plan for the service
provided the communities
wished to launch off into the
venture.
The alternative is no
ambulance service for Gulf
County after January 1
unless some steps for im-
provements are made. An-
drews said it would be a year
at least before a service
could be put into operation,
but as long as progress was
being made the present
ambulance service could
continue to operate in the
meantime.

government filed financial

returning excess money back
to the county.
Clerk Core reminded the
Board all divisions of the
County government were
required to file the reports by
October but so far only
reports from. his office and
that of Sheriff Raymond
Lawrence had been filed.
Core's office returned $17,-
460.92 to the County and
Sheriff Lawrence returned
$7,488.06.
PETITION
A petition .;as presented
the Board from residents in
the St. Joe Beach area
Tuesday night.
The petition, signed by 128
residents requested the speed
limit in the Beach area be set
at 45 miles per hour. This has
been the speed limit on the
Beach during the fall and
winter in years past, but this-
year the Department of
Transportation set the speed
limit at 65 miles per hour.
The Board agreed to
request the State to revert
back to the 45 miles per hour
limit.

the Sharks were again in
Chipley territory on their 39
yard line.
Two passes to Chason and
the Sharks were on the 18.
Dickens then plunged through
the line for nine yards from
the 11. Then Owens tossed to
Tankersley who broke two
tackles to score.
The Sharks tried to get two
extra points but were stopped
cold.
. Both teams threatened to
score again, but both were
stopped.
With four minutes left in
the game the Sharks were on
the Tiger four with a first
down. The Tigers held,
though on their one foot line.
The action which gave
everybody palpitations was
the last possession, of the
Tigers. Chipley had worked
the ball to the Shark four
with less than .three. minutes
to play. But Eddie Rich, who
likes quarterbacks, grabbed
Webb for a four yard loss.
Then Webb was caught for an
eight yard loss while trying
to pass by Rich, Ronnie
Kirkland and Carl Bailey. On
his fourth down, Webb had
his receiver on the goal line,
but Russell Chason leaped up
and deflected the Tiger's last
play of the game.

Port St. Joe In Line To Receive $2.5

Million Dollars In Federal Grant Money


TALLAHASEE-Some 140
Florida cities and counties
will receive a $60 million
federal "windfall" for sew-
age treatment plants already
built, state Pollution Control
Director Peter Baljet said
Friday.
Baljet said the local
governments could receive
checks from Washington in
two weeks as a result of a
new funding formula adopted
by the Federal Environmen-
tal Protection Agency (EPA).
"As they say, there is some
good news and some bad
news," Baljet told a news
conference.
"First, we have learned
that more Florida cities will
be eligible for reimbursement
grants than we had originally
thought. However, the origi-
nal nationwide appropriation
of only $1.9 billion for this
purpose had not changed," he
said.
But Baljet said the changed'
federal regulation would
increase Florida's slice of the
pie from about $10 million to
an estimated $60 million, with
another $20 million possible if
a bill pending in Congress
passes.
Baljet said the EPA bowed
to pressure from Florida and
other states in scrapping a
priority system which would


Baljet said his staff had to
scramble to submit the list of
140 projects from 300 applica-
tions in time to. meet a
Thursday deadline. He said
the EPA advised Florida
about the new funding
formula Oct. 11.
Baljet said he had high
hopes that Congress would
pass pending legislation
allowing cities and counties
to. finance sewage plant
construction with local
money and still qualify for
federal reimbursements.
Present law requires cities
to use federal funds for sewer
construction to be eligible for
reimbursement.


"We are confident that we
now have submitted all
potential reimbursement
grant recipients to the EPA,
and even amid the changing
regulations, have met the
deadline," he said.
If the bill passes, Baljet
said Florida would receive an
additional $10 million to $20
million in reimbursement for
projects constructed after
1956.
But the deadline for apply:
irng for reimbursement
would be extended until the
end of 1973, delaying receipt
of federal money by cities
now scheduled for reimburse-
ment, he said.


Receives ROTC Proficiency Award.


FT. BRAGG, N.C.-Cadet
Gregory B. Bozeman, 20, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Willie C.
Bozeman, Route 1, Wewa-
hitchka, was awarded the
physical proficiency. award
upon his recent completion of
six weeks of reserve officers


training corps advanced
summer camp at Ft. Bragg,
N.C.
The award was presented
in recognition of his being
among the top five percent of
all cadets in physical profi-
ciency at the camp.


have funneled the reimburse-
ment grants to cities with
extreme pollution.
A threatened Florida suit
challenging the priority sys-
tem, prompted by angry
cities left off the first
reimbursement list, helped to
"finally penetrate the line of
thinking in Washington,"
Baljet said.
He said the pollution
control department hoped to
"honor prior commitments"
to the four Florida cities
scheduled to receive the
original $10 million in grants.
Those cities are Jacksonville,
Port St. Joe, Atlantic Beach
and Neptune Beach.
The new EPA formula will
reimburse cities up to 30
percent for sewage treatment
facilities completed between
1956 and 1966 and up to 55
percent for projects finished
between 1966 and 1972, Baljet
said.
The amount actually
received by local govern-
ments would be based on the
reimbursement percentage a
city qualified for, along with
the amount it already had
received and the total funds
available, to Florida.
Baljet said cities could use
the reimbursement funds for
any municipal purpose like
"building parks or schools."

- adventure, but for some it
can turn into a night of
tragedy and sorrow.
Each year, far too many
children are injured and killed
Halloween Eve by motorists
unable to see them darting
unexpectedly into the street.
Others are badly burned as
their costumes are ignited by
flames from lighted candles
and lanterns. These tragic
situations could be avoided if
parents would observe rules
of good sense and safety,
such as the following suggest-
ed by Liberty Mutual Insur-
ance Companies.
Use 'only bright costumes.
A white-sheeted ghost is
more easily seen by a
passing motorist than a
black-clad witch. But even
brightly clothed children may
be hard to distinguish as the
evening darkens so florescent
strips which would make
them,, even more visible, is
suggested.
Do not allow children to
carry lighted candles, or
lanterns, or any type of open
flame. Many children have
been burned in past years
when their costumes, often
made of extremely flam-


mable material, caught fire.
A flash-light would be easier
to carry, and would also
make crossing the* street
safer.
Be sure to chaperone all
children who would not
normally be allowed outside
alone at night. Younger
children should be out only in
the early evenings. The
discreet presence of an adult
can stop a problem situation
from developing.
A major problem each
Halloween is children who
have been cut, drugged, or
poisoned. Apples and cup
cakes can have razors hidden
in them. Any kind of
non-commercially packaged
edible can have drugs or
other poisonous ingredients
added to them. Be very
careful that gum, candy, and
other snacks are securely
wrapped, and that the
wrapping has not been
opened and resealed. It is
best to trick or treat in your
neighborhood.
Keep a light on in-front of
your house so that there is no
danger of children being
injured by walking into


PAGE ELEVEN


objects or holes they cannot
see in the dark. If there is a
pet in the household, keep it
away from the door.
Children enjoy putting on
make-up as part of their
costume but be careful of
what they use. Cheap make-
up can in many instances
cause complexion problems
for youngsters-or hurt their
eyes.

Finally, when your child
goes out for the evening,
make sure you know where
he or she is going and when
he or she should return.
Halloween can be a real
treat for everyone. One way
to ensure it is to follow these
simple rules of safety. The
result will be an enjoyable
and safe evening for children
and parents alike.
Safety on Halloween is not
a magic act.

On December 31, a barrel of oil

cost us $1.68. Today it costs us $3.45.

We don't know about tomorrow.



The wildly escalating

price of foreign fuel oil
is causing us problems,.

and costing you money.

But price isn't the

only concern with fuel

today.

While we do have
oil contracts with repu-

,table companies through

1977, these contracts are only as good as

these companies' ability to deliver.

And available world supplies are

dwindling.

That's why we all need to use the fuel we

have as conservatively as we can.

And that's why your electric bill, as

hard as we've been working to keep it down,

has been going up and will .

continue to go up.)
