a * Industry - THIRTY-SEVENTH YEAR, NUMBER 9 Deep Water Port Fine People Safest Beaches in Florida PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1973 TEN CENTS A COPY LI -. - Odum Opens Congress :i I offering the open- -ing prayer before the opening session of the 03rd Congress last Thursday morning, SRev. J. C. Odum, pastor of the Long Avenue Baptist Church here in Port St. Joe, ,.prayed these words, which were recorded in the -Congressional Re- cord along with the Sday's proceedings: Almighty God, accept Sour grateful thanks- giving for the heritage of faith and freedom that is ours. We ask for.:Your, blessings to continue Supon our Nation. Help us to be true to those great ideals that have made our Nation great, We ask for providen- tial guidance not only for our Nation, but for all nations and' people of this world which You ave created. Deliver us from all bitterness and misunderstanding. Especially do we beseech Thee in behalf of those to whom You have committed the authority of govern- ment. Grant unto them the wisdom of Your counsel in their work today. This 'we ask in the name of our Saviour and Lord, Jesus the Christ. Amen. In introducing Rev. Odum to the Congress, Congressmian-Bob Sikes described him as a man .,who "has an enviable reputation for sound and constructive service in God's work over a period of many years." . Signs Wrong Name A Highland View man was arrested Tuesday in Ana- hauc, Texas by local officers and charged with four counts of passing forged checks, according to Gulf County Sheriff Raymond Lawrence. Sgt. Tom Berlinger and Deputy Richard Lancaster extradited Donall Holland, age 22, after he was released from jail in Texas charged in a similar offense. Holland is alleged to have* -passed four checks on his step-father's account and cashed them at local busi- nesses about a month ago, before fleeing local officials and being arrested in Texas. Holland is presently being held .in the Gulf County jail under $4,008 bond. Heads Up Children's Campaign Mrs. Tom (Dawne) Ford of Port St. Joe has been selected to serve as Chair- man of the 1973 Retarded Children's Friendship Cam- paign in Gulf County. The Friendship Campaign, spon- sored.by the Florida Associa- tion for Retarded Children, will be conducted Tuesday, November 27, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. "A Friendship Campaign," states Dawne, "is a tremen- dously effective way of having entire communities focus their attention on the problem of mental retarda- tion. Just recently the Special Olympics for retarded child- ren were held and created a great deal of interest in retardation in our towns throughout this area. We need to keep that interest high, and I feel a Friendship Campaign is the most effec- tive way to do this. The money raised will be used to develop programs and ser- vices in Gulf County. "Gulf County participated in the Friendship Campaign for the first time last year under the direction of Mrs. Beth Lawrence and approxi- mately $1,190.00 was raised. Only 15 percent of these monies were retained for use in Gulf County. This year "all of the monies received will be (Continued-on Page 6) Developer Tell s of Plans For Peninsula Building Harlan G., Allen, Jr., President of Realtract, Inc., ,of Atlanta, Georgia, Georgia, told The Star on Monday of this week his firm has purchased and has plans to develop a portion of St. Joseph Peninsula:' Allen, who was in Port St. Joe Monday to meet with several local people concerning his plans, also used the visit to assure local citizens his interests in the Peninsula 'was one of preserving as much as possible of the natural beauty of the area, while constructing condominiums, individual dwellings and recreational facilities such as a golf course, swimming pools and other game courts. "We do not plan to construct a concrete jungle", Allen said. "We will leave the sand dunes as they are as nearly as possible and will strive to be good stewards of the beaches area." Allen gave no date for his development to begin, but he said it would' be within the next few months. "We plan to announce our intentions and outline our plans to the public before we get started so they will know what we plan to do in the area," Allen said. The developer stressed the fact everyone in his firm came from small.towns and were interested in preserving the small town atmosphere in their development. "We're selling a return to the open spaces," he said, "and cannot afford to make our area crowded." The firm owns approximately 1,000 acres on St. Joseph Peninsula in the Pig Bayou area. Energy Crisis Strikes Oil Shortage Knocks Out Christmas Lights "When The Lights Go On Again All Over the World" was a hit tune back during the days of World War II and may become a familiar pop tune again in the very near future with the request made by Florida Power Corporation at the City Commission meeting Tuesday night. The firm made the request of the City that it not burn Christmas lights this year. The firm said it is making the same request of all cities on its lines. The utility made the request due to the fuel shortage for generating power. Shut-off of oil deliveries to the U.S. by the Arab nations has created a shortage of fuel and diesel oils. The request came at the time when the City had its crews busily engaged in putting up Christmas decorations all over the City in anticipation of turning them on the week end of Thanksgiving.' Florida Power didn't -say it would refuse to furnish power for the lights, but they requested the City to voluntarily refrain from using the energy. "We can generate .the power", Florida Power said, "We have the facilities, but we don't know if we will have the oil." The Commission was reluctant to abandon what has become a tradition in. Port St. Joe and decided not to leave the lights ,off entirely. After consideration of the request by Florida Power, the Board agreed to turn the lights on during the week before Christmas, and leave them, off the remainder of the time they ordinarily burn. In the meantime, City crews are continuing with their project of putting the lights and decorations up. Most of the City's lights are included in decorative pieces, so some of the color and beauty of Christmas will still be seen in Port St. Joe, even if the lights will remain off most of the month of December. City crews shown at left putting up Christmas trimmings. Three Arrested on Charge of Vandalism The Gulf County Sheriff's Office has arrested three juvenile minales, and charged them with malicious damage to private property, accord- ing to Sheriff Raymond Lawrence. In an investigation conduct- ed by Lt. David Rogers, Sgt. Tom Berlinger and Jim Buchanan of the Sheriff's Office, it was found that some heavy equipment which. was left on, the road between White City and Overstreet had been vandalized. Hyd- raulic lines were cut, lights were broken out, and dirt was placed in the mechanism to such an extent, that the expense to the owners in repairs and "down time" will exceed $10,000. The equipment was owned by St. Joe Paper Company and two other firms from outside the county. "In dollars and cents, this has been the most expensive vandalism our office has investigated this year", Sheriff Lawrence stated. "We were most fortunate in being able to apprehend the van- dals." The three boys were referred to the Division of Youth Services for court action. Want Bar Opening Hours Extended City bar room operators petitioned the City Commis- sion Tuesday night to allow them the option of staying open until 1: a.m. at night rather than being forced by law to close at midnight. Charles Lowry, acting as spokesman for the group, told the Commission, "It's very, unlikely any bar will be open at night beyond 12:00 as a regular thing. There just aren't any people out and about in Port St. Joe at that ' time of night arid we usually close around 11:30." Lowery went on to explain the request was being made mainly for the times there are ships docked in the harbor. "These men have nowhere else to go and, frankly, it would mean a little extra business for us to help with rising expenses", Lowry said. Also present and making the request were Lowry and Harry Lowry operators of St. Joe Bar; E. M. Walker, operator of Little Red's Bar and Nathan Peters, operator of the Cozy Bar. It was pointed out by the operators that county law allows bars operating outside the city to stay open to 1:00 a.m. The City Commission was reluctant to give a definite answer on the request at Tuesday's meeting, prefering to wait until the next meeting on November 20 in order to give time for any objections to be voiced if there were any. Mayor Frank Pate told the delegation they would have their answer at that meeting. The change in operating hours would necessitate changing a city ordinance. Lowry also asked that the City pass an ordinance or amend the present liquor ordinance making it illegal to purchase and open a bottle of liquor inside a bar. The Board instructed At- torney William J. Rish to look into the legality of such a law. Deputy David Rogers checks for fingerprints. Health Department Sees A Need for Plant Expansion It has been so long since the City has received any- thing but glowing reports .from the Division of Health, that it was with alarm the Board received word last week that the water treat- ment plant is becoming inadequate for the City's needs. Several years ago this situation was becoming a possibility and the City then constructed a 100,000 gallon storage tank to allow the treatment plant to run 24 hours a day and fill up storage during the night for use during the day when the demand was heavy. The State has told the City expansion of the treatment facilities are now needed and suggests engineering on the project get underway in the very near future-within six months. The report also suggested some changes in the filter beds of the existing facilities. Sharks Muzzle Dogs Carl Bailey picks up long yardage through heavy traffic in Friday night's football game against the Marianna Bulldogs. (Star Photo) The Port St. Joe Sharks rolled up 198 yards rushing and 131 through the air last Friday night as they chalked up victory number spven against the Marianna Bull- dogs. The Sharks have only one loss for the year. against only one loss for the- season. The win dropped the Sharks from number six in the state to number 10. The Shark offense racked up 17 first downs as they scored in every period except the third. The Bulldogs took the opening kick-off, but couldn't move against the home town team. The Sharks took the Dogs punt on the 41 yard line and in six plays Robert Dickens was galloping across the goal line from 13 yards out. Jim Moore then kicked the first of three extra points to put the Sharks ahead, 7-0 with 6:43 left in the first stanza. But the Sharks didn't have the Dogs tied to a post yet. Quarterback Larry Hill un- loaded a 32 yard pass to Larry Basford who suddenly found themselves on the Shark 31 yard line with a first down. A 15 yard pass to Willie Mack and the Dogs were close enough to smell the goal line. Six plays later, Mack plunged over from the four then kicked the extra point to tie the score. But the score didn't remain tied long. The Sharks took the Dog kick on their own 32 and after three runs of six, five and 11 yards by Robert Dickens and a 41 yard pass from Steve Owens to Martin Adkison, the Sharks had scored again in the opening seconds of the second quar- ter. Jim Moore kicked the extra point and the Sharks had their winning points on the board. The Sharks second TD in the second period started after two big defensive plays gave them the possession of the football. The Bulldogs' Larry Hill had faded back to pass when Bruce Nixon decked him for an eight yard loss. The Dogs were set back four more yards and they then had to go for the long pass. John Shackleford picked it off and the Sharks were pointed for me goal line once again. Owens and Carl Bailey Renee Costin and Nancy Nobles show difficult fire baton routine at half-time Friday night. -.

I- ; - Just prior to the beginning of the current season, c.-one paper company with large holdings in the favorite hunting grounds in Gulf County announced they would require a permit for hunters to use their lands. The permits cost money. Another land owner, also a paper company said hunters could ,_,use, their unposted lands for ,, hunting. There is a hitch to the -,offer, however. The firm, St. Joe Paper Company said in their ,,statement allowing use of their .land, "no new requirements or restrictions will be imposed this season, as long as protection of the company's lands and timber are nhsprvpd. . Property the proviso placed in SJPC's offer' of use of their land. Hunters are a peculiar breed. Some of them have no thought of the fact they are using property owned by other people when they hunt. They are also prone to be some of the most damaging creatures on earth (some of them). We hear stories of livestock shot, fences torn down, forest fires set, etc., all by careless or not caring hunters. A few years back, dove hunters of this area had a ready-made field provided for them north of Port St. Joe with the huge farming operations going on there, but some foolish hunters ruined the oppor- tunity for everyone. Reports are that some hunters hunted the grey birds over cultivated fields in *I -:. P'ii .,-- 'i,;1ourw'wheel drive vehicles, tearing fMlany. i'irs g-rumble, about -'i down'the crops and cut deep ruts in recent land clearing in,Gulf County the fields. As a consequence, there and how it is taking hunting lands is no more dove hunting on these away from use of the sportsman. fields without special permits. There isn't really aniy complaints What we're trying to6say is, valid; though, since th- land is hunters, have a little respect when being, used by' its owriner. Regard- you venture forth Saturda#Fso more less of this, we feelfar more land is of us may have a place- to hunt being denied use by hunters due to another day. Cotmmunis As we see it, the Rutssians and Chinese are probably most happy over our internal problems here in, the United States today. : True, they don't like Richard Nixon and his declining popularity id threatening disgrace probably Stakes them as happy as anyone.. :. As pleased as the Communists must be over the situation, they are probably more pleased about the inevitable long-range results fromny the situation. Richard Nixon was the best hope the: conservatives of this nation have had in quite some time. While the true conservative would ;ts Happy have preferred someone a little more to their line of thinking, at least President Nixon ,started a swing away from the ,impaging socialistic trend being let in our nation. With the disgrace of President Nixon, it will probably be next to' impossible to get a conservative- maybe even a moderate-elected to the Presidency for some 'time to come. This means a steady diet of liberals and their philosophy of providing utopia for everyone in the world. : The Communists should be happy about this. ODD USES FOR "NON-SKID" v' "Killer K s Kut tes SERENADE I don't know just what a toilet paper serenade is or means-but we've been having, Suite a few of them in St. Joe Lately. The-first time I ever saw it used for banners or 'streamers was at the depot in Tallahassee several years Back. A bunch .of convention . bound Elks had it stringing put of all the Pullman car -windows and were singing there are no:wives with us. Now don't..get me wrong. Toilet paper is all right in its' place and is no doubt used by both princes and paupers but, Sit's hard to figure out just how it could be used. in the top of a tall pine. I could go on and on about it but I don't want to be ,tiresome or boring but here's a few facts on the subject. The best brand is Non Skid and the best substitute is Spanish moss-never try sawgrass. I believe Chic Sales said the Sears catalog worked fine till you got over in the harness section and run into those slick pages. A few days ago they Craig Davis Gets Promotion MARION, ALA.

RANDOLPH HODGES Executive Director TALLAHASSEE (AFNS) - Last week we noted that no completely foolproof ventilation system has yet been developed. However, some form of adequate ventilation is required by law, and we explained a type of ventilation that is most frequently used. Another type used, and principally on larger boats is the wind activated Rotary Exhaust Head. This type exhaust system is similar to the other system except the rotary is stationary on top of the cabin. The intake cowl on the side of the boat forces air into the lower compartments of the boat, and the rotary exhaust head draws it out. Again this system depends on forward motion of the boat or a good breeze blowing from bow to stern. All flexible pipes should be, at least two inches in diameter. Special vapor and Florida Department of Natural Resources I " explosion-proof electric fans can also be used. If you choose a power blower, or decide to switch to a power blower make sure you select a spark-proof electric switch to turn it on. A well ventilated boat is a safer boat, because gasoline vapor is heavier than air and it will flow into pockets in the bilge of your boat. This vapor must be drawn out or forced out, for a very small amount of gasoline vapor when ignited by a spark can cause a deadly ex- plosion. Always operate your blowers, open engine hatches or boxes, before starting an in- board or stern driven engine. Make sure to check all gasoline connections frequently, since vibration caused by the engine or rough weather can loosen connections. The entire fuel system must be free from leaks: PAGEE TWO Timber Owners Should Study Purchase Offers A recent study by the Florida Division of Forestry showed that most people who have timber to sell do so almost on the spur of the moment-usually consulting only one buyer, and seldom setting "Do's" and don'tt" as to the manner of cutting. Most every timber land owner desires to receive full value for his timber. And most every landowner under- stands that such value has to do with immediate return from harvest and sale of forest material as well as repeated returns on the long term... .later harvests, ,*. County foresters w iththe "b)ivision of Forestry suggest a series of guidelines useful to the landowner and tree farmer: Determine need for cutting. As with other agricultural crops your timber should be harvested at the right time. Cutting too soon will reduce future income and cutting too late may result in an unnecessary growth loss. Designate area of timber sale. Maps or aerial photos are good tools for helping the seller and buyer to clearly understand the boundaries and limitations of the area involved in the timber sale. If an individual selection of trees is to -be made, then the individual trees should be clearly marked for cutting. All boundaries should be clear. Know what you have to sell. The seller should have a good idea of what he has to sell. Study the local timber market. Tree size and quality are of prime consideration also at -selling time. Will a little delay in cutting mean greatly increased returns? Know the standards of measurement -. - Select type of sae'. Timber is, generally sold in two wars- (1) lump sum of (2Y. product scale of the buyer. In lump sum sale the seller should get sealed bids and the seller should receive a cash settle- ment in advance on measure- ment after the trees have been cut for a specific product. Use a contract. A written contract should be used in any type of timber sale. A contract will protect both buyer and seller. Making the sale. Secure a list of buyers of the various products for which you have a sale. Notify buyers of the availability of your timber and solicit bids. Make the timber sale area available to the inspection of all prospec- tive buyers. From The Living Bible So Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naama- thite did as the Lord com- manded. them, and the Lord accepted Job's pray- et on their behalf. Tht, when Job prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his wealth and happiness! In fact, the Lord gave him twice as much as before! Then all of his brothers, sisters, and former friends arrived and feasted with him in his home, consoling him for all his sorrow, and comforting him because of all the trials the Lord had brought upon him. And each of them brought him a gift of money. Job 42:9-11 Religious Heritage of America Green 'N Grassy A Research Report By Mike Beaudoin An article in The Tallahassee Democrat quotes a woman junior executive who says, in effect, that many working women use sex as a means to promotions and pay raises. A few days later several local people, men and women, are quoted as disagreeing with the woman junior executive It was a ridiculous , thought to begin with. Imagine women using k > their sex appeal, what- L ever that is, to influ- ence a man's thinking? To further refute the unfounded charges about women, the Green and Grassy Research Foundation began a crash survey of major offices in the Capital City which completely disapproved the theory. In one state office there were 12 women who appeared to be doing essentially the same thing. Eleven of the 12 were what would be classified as "attractive" while the 12th bore a close resemblance (face and figure) to Phyllis Diller. Upon checking salaries it was found that Phyllis was the lowest paid of the bunch and her desk, stuck away in a corner, was the fartherest from the water cooler. Oddly, she seemed to be typing much faster, and:. more accurately than the other 11, but the personnel director assured us that all the women were rated strictly on ability. In another office it was found that many of the girls frequently come in late in the morning and or leave for home early in the afternoon without penalty. Upon checking their looks, it was found that any one of them could pass for a movie starlet. Then there was the wife of a corporation executive who married her husband while working as his secretary. She is quick to stress, however, that "we would probably have met anyway. We were destined for one another." In a survey of women who held the highest paying and most prestigious jobs, it was found that: 99 percent of them had on more than one occasion had lunch with the boss; 97 percent had worked after 5. p.m. on "several" -occasions; 98 percent did personal things for the boss, like balancing his bank statement and the like. Of course, all of them denied anything more than a working relationship. They even took their steno pads with them to lunch. A few complained of having to hire baby sitters (at their own expense) to make bothersome out-of-town trips with their bosses. But, don't fret ladies, or Ms's or whatever you are called this week, this trumped up charge isn't anything new. It's been around for awhile, in fact the first chauvinistic male to make that charge was some guy named Adam! Etaoin Shrdlu by WESLEY R. RAMSEY - ..- .. Accidents High In Darkness TALLAHASSEE-With the time having changed October 28 from Daylight Saving time i back to Eastern Standard. automobile crashes are likely . to increase said the Florida Highway Patrol today. Patrol Director- Colonel Eldrige 'Beach said, "The period of time from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. has almost twice as mahnyrashes as the 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. period. The accident rate is higher during darkness hours and with the time changing, there will be more hours of darkness when traffic is heavy." Beach suggested clean headlights and windshields to improve night driving as dirty windshields can distort motorists' vision, which is already reduced at night. Dirty headlights cut down on night vision and it is also harder for approaching motorists and pedestrians to see the car. Taillights should also be kept clean. Colonel Beach concluded by saying, "Since your home- ward trip may be made during darkness and you will possibly be tired and irrita- ble, make a determined effort to drive safely and Arrive Alive." Cr Monday, November 12, is Parent-Teacher Night at Port St. Joe High School. All parents are urged to attend this affair and observe the following time limits: All parents of children enrolled in grades seven through nine are to visit teachers from 7:30-8:30 p.m. Following a 15 minute break, all parents of children enrolled in grades ten through twelve are to visit with teachers from 8:45-9:45. All parents are asked to please come out and visit with teachers concerning your children's progress. 'I SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE- STAR! Brother Will came down from Chattahoo- chee Saturday and came by the office for a short visit. Brother Will was making foolish noises like Chattahoochee was all set and primed to beat Port St.. Joe in football tomorrow night. Something like that has never happened before and is not likely to happen in the future. We make this rash statement even in the face of Florida defeating Auburn in Cliff Haire Stadium for the first time in history Saturday. The statement of Brother Will was made in a moment of vertigo or something, I think. He is supposed to know something about football. He knows what to look for other than what shows on the down marker, the score board and the distance being made by the lad who happens to be carrying the ball. I can't lay claim to such knowledge. I only know what shows up in the aforementioned obvious results. But I know better than Brother Will what is going to happen Friday night, even if I know from nothing about the fine points of the popular game. Brother Will has been in Chattahoochee for about nine years now. All this time he has fooled those people into believing he truly belongs on the outside. Should he keep on making such foolish statements as the one last Saturday they will surely cart him off into the free room and board section. BIG BELLIES AND BIG FANNIES I read the other day where most women are most concerned about their big fannies and the men are most concerned about their big bellies. The article was a reporting of a poll taken to see what part of their bodies people were most worried about that part they would change if they could. Personally, I thought it was the other way around the men were worried about the women's big fannies and the women were worried about their husband's big bellies (notice I didn't say the men were worried about their WIFE'S big fanny). i'm -glad 'these'poil people didn't ask-me ab p by, pdy.and,. what part I was most concerned with. I couldn't really give them an answer. I'm concerned about my own fanny to an extent. I'm concerned about the infrequency it gets to come into contact with my, big chair at home and just cool it. Then I'm worried about my feet, which get to aching something fierce along about 4:00 or 5:00 in the afternoon and get to asking me to take my shoes off and prop them up. That's a legitimate worry since my feet don't get their way in that respect and this worries me as much as it does my feet. I'm not particularly worried about my belly. It serves me in good stead. It will accept almost anything I like to eat without growling back. The only problem I have with my belly is sometimes I will get to tasting something real good and it says it has had enough before I get enough. I'm not regular, I guess, since my belly doesn't bulge enough to worry me. Not saying it doesn't bulge a tad, mind you, but not enough to worry me. I didn't pursue this piece in the paper further than to just make my own conclusions. I didn't take the poll further and ask my wife if her hips were too big. Nor did I ask her if. my belly was too big. I just didn't feel like listening to the obvious answer. A BRIGHT FUTURE If I know my pastor very well-and after a 20 year association, I think I do-when he opened the session of Congress with prayer last Thursday, he prayed that the members of that body'would let God guide them in these trying times in our government. I know, also, that he prayed for God's hand to be upon the members and give them the wisdom to do what is necessary to once again to establish faith in the government of our nation. There is no doubt in my mind but what God will answer that prayer if the individual members of Congress will be more concerned with seeking the guidance of God than they are concerned with making points for one of the two political parties. If the Congress becomes concerned with the future of America, primarily, the future of America will be bright. Parent-Teacher Night Set for Monday at High School HEADED FOR THE INSIDE I I Over 32 million women are earning social security pro- tection for themselves and their families through their own work, according to Robert Latta, Social Security Representative for Gulf County. "The working woman has both disability and survivors protection," Latta said. If she becomes unable to work for a year or longer because of a disabling accident..or severe illness, she, and her depen- Garden Club Meets The Port St. Joe Garden Club will meet at the Garden Center today at 2:00 p.m. Hostesses will' 'be Mrs. Kenneth Bateman and Mrs. Durel Sykes.

Each arrangement should contain some fresh plant material.

If a working woman dies prematurely, monthly cash payments from social secur- ity can help her children through school (until they're 22, if they remain full-time students and unmarried). "If a working woman's husband is, 62 or older_ and dependent upon her for his support, he also can be eligible for monthly social 'security payments on her work record," Latta said. Even though her husband may be working at a full-time job, her children are still eligible for benefits on her work record. On her own work record, the working woman can retire at 62 with reduced monthly cash payments. Or she can wait until she's 65 and get full monthly cash benefits, Latta stated. But, if she could collect higher benefits as a wife on her husband's record, she will collect the higher benefit.

People can eat their raw oysters and raw scallops with confidence, according to in- formation given to the Rotary Club last Thursday by John Taylor, chief of the Marine Laboratory of Apa- lachicola. The duties of the Labora- tory, are to inspect the water in which shell fish are harvested for human con- sumption and to test waters used for public bathing. Taylor said half of the oysters harvested in the states of Alabama, Georgia and Florida 'come from Apalachicola Bay. "It's our ) job to ,see that,.those oysters are safe to eat", he said. Taylor ,said an oyster will eat anything and waters, where human waste is expelled and run-off from organic farming is found is subject to carry Coloform, from which the disease of cholera comes.

IN MEMORIUM In sad but loving memory of our beloved mother, grand- mother, and great grand- mother, Mrs. Floyd Dickens, who entered upon this earth on Feb., 21. 1889, and kindly answered her masters call on Nov. 9. 1970 at her home. Loving Memories Mother, you were so beautiful in o'so many ways. You were a cheer and solemn comfort sent down to share my days' (17 yrs. Oct. 14). With every question asked, Mom. you had the key, and within your sunny smile Mother stars seemed to dance for me. They say Time heals all sorrows and helps us to forget. But Time so far has only proved how much you really meant. Your 'gentle face and patient smile with sadness we recall: you had a kindlyword for each and died beloved by all. If we had our life to give. we'll give it yes and more, to hear your voice, to see your smile. and greet you at the door. From now until the days of 'i iiy. 1 say to you.

Iminediately after arriving overseas, the redeployed units drew combat gear and vehicles from propositioned storage sites in Germany and moved to the exercise area to begin the seven-day, field maneuvers. Pitted against the airlifted forces were Europe-based elements of NATO forces of the U.S., Germany / and Canada. The exercise, conducted by the joint chiefs of staff and NATO, focused on the pro- cedures and techniques for receiving, equipping, assem- bling and employing units after they arrive, rather than on rapid deployment of troops from the U.S. Sgt.

Keep Your Ornamentals Warm Heating is still the most widely used means of pre- venting cold injury in com- merical plantings- of 'orna- mentals. Most of these methods of protecting .plants growing in the open or around the home are too expensive and inconvenient to set up and operate. A simple method of heating ornamental plants around the home is to use a light bulb under an opaque cover such as a sheet, black plastic or similar covering. Covering plants with an opaque cover without the addition of heat is more a protection against frost than against extreme cold. Proper use of covers for plants usually reduces cold injury by reducing heat loss from the plant by-;raoiation and. can be protected agait cotserves gr'undf heat pro--'6texnperat.res-r, low as 20 vided the cover extends to degrees byb sprinklers deliver- the ground.

Sprinkling for'. coed amount of damage resulting protection utilizes latent heat from cold. -p released when water changes Shrubs and srhall plants fromni a liquid to ice, This method can maintain a leaf at a temperature about 31 or 32 degrees. This process is effective as long as the water is applied and the ice formation continues. If for any reason the supply of water is cut off or if too little water is applied freeze injury may be increased. It is very important to continue the sprinkler application until thawing occurs. The value of watering plants before a freeze is debatable. A wet soil is a THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY, November 8, 1973 better conductor of heat than warm the plants. Of course, a a dry soil, thus a wet soil heavy mulch may insulate loses stored .heat faster than the roots of the plant and a dry soil. e'p it from winterkilling A mulch around ornamen- tal plant can increase the- amount "cold damage to the tops of the plants. A mulch may insulate the tops from the ground heat. Cold injury to mulched plants can usually be reduced by pulling the, mulch ba. during the winter to permit the ground heat to even when the leaves are frozen down. High winds associated with cold weather may cause scorch and browning of leaves at the tip and along the margin of the leaf. This is due to excessive water loss during high and dry winter winds. Winter watering is PAGE FIVE essential on ornamentals during dry periods. Plants use less water during the cool months but they still need some water. Again, the best way to avoid severe winter damage is to have your plants in the best possible health. This means they should be well watered. fertilized and other- wise cared for during the entire year. A healthy plant is always more cold hardy. m m mm mm- m m mm m -mn I A&P NON -FAT DxZM&10691 ** , ---- ------ ---- v i A&P FROZEN CONCENTRATED *I 100% u e cc 4 FROM FLORIDA Fresh Cauliflower.....

Moore again kicked the extra point to give the Sharks a 21-7 lead at half time. The third period and the first portion of the last saw the Sharks lose the ball four times due to errors and the Dogs once from a fumble. The Dogs Frank Bondurant intercepted two Owens passes and recovered two fumbles to stop drives. Bruce Nixon fell on the Marianna fumble and then did himself a little running for the first time this year, returning the ball for 12 yards. The Sharks last scoring drive started on a Shark fumble. Owens lost the ball in the hand-off deep in Shark territory. The Dogs could manage only four yards, though, and the Sharks took over almost where they had lost the ball in the exchange. Carl Bailey then ripped off gainers of 10, 10, seven, .seven, four and eight yards to put the Sharks on the four. yard line. Robert Dickens ran right through 'the middle of the line to get the Sharks last score of the game. With only- 47 yards rushing and 97 yards passing, it was easy to see the tough Shark defense was in high gear John Travis Graves Is Taken by Death John Travis Graves, 87, of 201 Iola Street, Oak Grove died Sunday at 4:25 p.m. in the Municipal Hospital.

The rest are in their local communities. The value of an ARC, such as now in Gulf County, is that it serves people in the local community.

Those who participate will work by' helping in their own neighborhood. Mrs. Ford may be reached at 229-2006 during the day or in the evening.

Meat makes the meal, so plan your menu with appetizing cuts of meat and remainder of menus comes easy with variety in color, texture, and flavor. The fame of each cut of meat depends upn the way you cook it. For instance, a Porterhouse steak would be quite tasteless if it were braised and a low grade round steak would be un- chewable if it were broiled. ROAST OF BEEF 4 lb.

CORE THURSDAY, November 8, 1973 PAGE NINE Increase Given In Food Stamps Low-income people on the food stamp program will be given increases in their allot- ments beginning January 1, according to the U. S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service (FNS). The hikes will be made in accordance with the amend- ments of the Food Stamp Act in the Agriculture and Consumer Protection Act of 1973. The amendments required that coupon allot- ments be adjusted semi- annually to reflect changes in prices of food as published by the Bureau of Labor Statis- tics. At the same time, USDA officials said, most families or demand must be in writing and must state the place of residence and post office address of the claimant and must be sworn to by the claimant, his agent, or his attorney, or it will become void according to law.
