The Bar Hours Extension Being Left Up to Peop If the people of Port St. Joe have longer bar hours; they will have to vote for it in the next Municipal election. This was the final decision of the City Commission last Tuesday in taking action on a' request for an extra hour of. open time at night, made by bar room operators in the City. The Commission had put off their decision for two weeks in order to hear any' objections, but all members of the Board said they had been presented with very little opposition to the 1:00 a.m. closing time. Nobody was present at the meeting to protest the request. Commissioner George Wimberly sized the situation up by saying, "The big .objection will come after we give approval to this thing." Commissioner Benny Rob- erts was fearful that allowing the extension of hours would "Bring on some other re- quests.'

The en- gineering study will make recommendations as to just what needs to be done to make the collection of sewage efficient and effec- tive. Four Cc Week E Gulf County did, its part by not adding to the estimated 34 who would die on the highways of Florida during the Thanksgiving holiday week end. Gulf wasn't without its accidents though, as four cars were involved in a chain smasli-up Saturday morning at Beacon JHil. Acco rding to Florida High- way Trooper, Ken Murphy, four car' were involved in an accident 'shortly after noon near Van Horn's at Beacon Hill. Murphy :said a 1966 Olds- irs Involved In :nd Smash-Up mobile, driven by Octavia Copenhaver, 17 of Port St. Joe backed out of a parking. lot in the area into the path of a .1969 Camero driven by George E. Hiller of Tyndall AFB , Hiller's car struck the Copenhaver vehicle in the rear, knocked it 49 feet, then struck a 1970 VW van, owned by Prentice Forrester, ,which was parked beside the road. The, Camero then crossed the highway and struck a fourth car, a 1972 Chevrolet, owned by .Robert B. Baxley of. Port St. Joe. Murphy estimated total damages at $3,000.00. Both Hiller and Miss Copenhaver were taken to Municipal Hospital by Com- forter ambulance, treated and released. Hiller was charged with driving while intoxicated and Miss Copenhaver was char- ged with improper backing. Murphy was assisted in his investigation by Sheriff's Deputies Tom Berlinger and Oscar Jones and Auxiliary- men Richard Lancaster and W. C. Robinson.

It's Week ... to Mail Postmaster Chauncey Costin announced this week that December 3-8 will be "Christmas Mail Early I Week" in Port St. Joe. The Sfuel energy crisis is a cause of great concern to the Postal Service as it affects the timely movement of Christ- .. mas mail. The curtailment in the numfiber of air flights as well as the 50-mile-an-hour speed limit for vehicles makes Mail Early We&k more important this year than ever before according to Costin. "We are handling more mail this Christmas than in any previous year", the Postmaster said. "In order to get this mail to its destination by December 25, we need you your cooperation in mailing early."

The Sharks meet the always tough Rutherford Rams on the Rams home court. Coach Bill Dickson said he is without a veteran starter on' this year's team. "We don't even have the number one substitution on the team", Dickson stated. As a matter of fact, only three of this year's squad traveled with the varsity team last year. Of the 14-man roster only Martin Adkison, Eddy Rich and Robert Dickens played with last year's Sharks. Dickson said "We have the height and we can be as good as the boys want to be". Dickson isn't given to speak- ing idly and he wasn't this time either. The Sharks nave eight of their squad measur- ing in at six feet or over. "All of the smaller boys are extremely quick", Dickson said. In addition to the three returning from last year's squad, the Sharks have Jerry Brown and Ricky Hamm, Seniors, up from the Junior Varsity of two years ago. Neither played last year. Senior Steve Davis and Junior Mike Daniels are out for the first time. The squad is rounded out with Ernest Pittman, Willie Quinn, Danny Thomas, Mike Scott, Mike Todd, John Shackleford and Smiley Shackleford moving up from last year's Junior Varsity. Games coming up for the week include: December 1, Rutherford, away. Dec. 4, Wewahitchka at home. Jones Found Guilty of 3rd Degree Murder Willie E. Jones of Port St. Joe was found guilty of third degree murder last week in Circuit Court in the May 19 shooting of James Williams, also of Port St. Joe. Williams was shot in front of Georgia Boy's Cafe on Main Street following an argument between Williams and Jones. The jury received the case Tuesday afternoon last week and deliberated up into the night before rendering the third degree verdict. A pre-sentence investiga- tion is currently being conducted before sentence is pronounced. PLEAD GUILTY Byron Welch entered a plea of guilty to his charge of Breaking and Entering of Campbell's Drug Store. He was sentenced to six months to two years in jail. Leonard H. Slater, also involved in the case was given 60 days in the county jail for trespassing. Slater testified that he was outside the store and was called in by Welch. Slater said he came in and sat down and went to sleep. He was under the influence of drugs at the time. A charge of possession of drugs against Michael David Segers, was postponed for trial until a later date. A charge of aggravated battery against Sammy Por- ter, Jr., of Wewahitchka was dismissed.

They watch the battles; the cease fires and, the truces for answers to many questions. Will they lead to peace? Will the Jewish nation survive? Will it expand? Will the surrounding nations combine to wipe it out entirely? Will Russia take an aggressive stand? What will result from the United States role? To find these answers those familiar with the Scriptures are -showing renewed interest in various prophecies in the Old Testament which are interpreted as foretelling the world shaking events occurring in Palestine and Jerusa- lem. AiAong the ancients Wh' spole and wrote about the great and final war of Armageddon waged against SIsrael, after it had established itself on the land of its origin, are Joel, Ezekial, Isaiah, Jeremiah and John in Revelations., Looking through these books in the Old Testament one can find several prophecies pertaining to the return of the Jewish race to the land of its origin--its growth and the subsequent attack by the surrounding nations. The cause of the wa" is blamed on Israel's economic struggle to survive and protect the wealth that has poured int oth the Joe dis( nat ago tan rea Y. Has Salt In His Blood "Killfer K's" Kuties When I retired a year os so back I jumped from shipping cler to seine fishing in Carra- belle on the beach at Pickett's fishery. I got along fine till one day they left me all by myself at noon time. A pretty good run of mullet was moving down the beach to the west'ard so I jumped in the skiff and jobbed an oar in the bottom and turned the fish back. When mullet decide to move they are going to do just that and after I'd turned them two or three times they went on by. I drug in the anchor and cranked up the kicker and went out around them. By running back and forth in front of them I managed to slow them down. Then I saw., the skipper on the beach and: run in and picked him up. He took over then and went on down a piece then ashore. I got out and took one end of the seine on the beach and sat down on it and when the bunch of fish got just right he gunned the motor and took them in. About that time one man showed up to help the skipper and an old Yankee tourist helped me and we worked the seine on in and dumped nine thousand pounds of mullet in the boat. During all the excitement I was bare headed and bare footed and had no shirt on and burned to a `crisp. The doctor in Carrabelle said I had too much salt 'in my blood so I came back to St. Joe to get it out. My doctor sent me to the hospital and that's where I met Big John. I've heard tell of enemas all my life, but it took him to show me. He had a garden hose with, a half inch nipple six inches long on the end of it and when he opened the valve and turned on the pressure he really meant business, frgot seven of them that night and the next morning,4 A-young doctor just out of the navy put me under a fluoroscope and made me turn my body as I was getting- the last one. We cussed each other out but parted friends. Next time I saw John he was in"' the floor cleaning business. If he -can clean floors like he cleaned me believe I'll hire him to fix our kitchen tile.

Kohoutek's Visit It is not too early to start sounding warnings that the event of the "greatest show on earth" to be coming soon, will bring with it certain serious' dangers. We speak . of the forthcoming spectacular "Comet Kohoutek," due to appear to the naked eye around December first, and to remain visible until the end of January. The new comet, which has already "arrived" for those who have access to tele- scopes, will be the most dramatic heavenly display since the famous Halley's comet, which last ap- peared for earth people in 1910. Comet Kohoutek became first known to us last March when Dr. Lubos Kohoutek, a Czechoslovakian astronomer working at the Ham- burg Observatory in West Ger- many, found a bright spot on his photographic plates where nothing had appeared before. Watching the tiny glob of light grow on his telescope day by day, Kohoutek recognized that an enormous comet was hurtling towards our solar system at a speed of better than 100,000 miles an hour. Further calculations showed that should the big comet hit the earth, it would wipe out a city larger than Los Angeles and blast a crater more than 50 miles in diameter. There will be no danger of collision, however; at the nearest point of approach, around the middle of January, Comet Kohou- tek, (named for its discoverer) will be some 75 million miles from earth. Nevertheless, in... terms of stellar distances, that is "close". Furthermore, as it zips around the sun like a boomerang land heads back into out into space, Comet Kohoutek will be brighter than any star in our heavens, except for the sun. Furthermore, it will have a bright blue and yellow "tail" trailing behind. What is the danger? Simply this: in late December, when the Comet will be at its ,'brightest during late afternoon hours, it will be very close to the sun. There is the danger that some people, especially smail children, may be tempted to turn their telescopes or binoculars to take a look directly at the sun itself. If one should do that, however, there is the grave danger that the sun will literally burn a hole in the retina of the eye, causing a permanent blind spot. So, pass the word: enjoy the "greatest show on earth"'as Comet Kohoutek pays us a visit, and watch for it in the skies; but never, never look directly at-the sun. one's personality and mental world of color and color outlook. experts at the National Since colors play such Bureau of Standards have important roles in everyday discovered, that under ideal life, it is important that we conditions, a sensitive human learn what colors can be eye can discern more than depended upon to look well as ten million different hues. a home decoration, or in any Since color exerts both a other practical ways. psychological and physiologi- In working with "color, we cal influence upon people,, a should learn which ones. clash knowledge, of color and color and which ones harmonize combinations seems a most with each other, valuable asset.

'Gbe, I'm glad we live in Port St. Joe - CHAMBER SHOPPING -. of Commerce Etaoin Shrdlu by WESLEY R. RAMSEY Thanksgiving is over and with it, part of my annual vacation, taken two days at Thanksgiving and a few more days at Christmas. Thanksgiving day we took our annual trek to Mother-in-law's house for a second holiday lunch after stuffing at noon at Mother's house here in Port St. Joe. While up in Georgia we ran across some people making some cane syrup and stopped to buy some. Two of the grandsons were with us n and got to see something which is rapidly going r the way of the Gooney Bird. The ecologists talk about the disappearing Woods which are being gobbled up for man to live in but they say not a word about the disappearing crafts which turned out such serviceable goods and delectable things to eat. Where can you find a man today who knows how to cane a chair, make shingles, make lumber, smoke meat, make syrup, use an adz or even sharpen a saw? True, we have machines to do those things now, but somehow the machine-made item loses all of its sense of accomplishment, its color and a lot of its service. Maybe if the crafts were preserved, retired people would have something to do. The machines have taken over because we do not have the time nor the manpower to produce merchandise as quickly as it is needed these days. Too, manpower is too expensive to spend whittling out shingles one at a time, or any of the other skills which use to be so common. I really don't know how those people we came upon making syrup can grow the cane, pay the four or five men who were busy at the task, pay for the set-up to grind and boil the cane juice and sell their syrup for $2.50 a half gallon. I got to wet a line in Brother-in-law's man-made lake and caught a nice string of bream and bass. Even that loses something in the old-fashioned way of fishing; tying a boat up under a shade tree and waiting for a bite. In the dug and stocked lake, is was merely a matter of baiting a hook and dropping it in. The fish were there waiting to bite. No boat to unload, no trip to the river, po getting things together. The tackle was tlebes bde thelake- and it was mfierely a matter of getting some bait, walking down the steps from the air-conditioned house to the lake edge and getting to it. It's handy and I enjoyed it and look forward to going back, but that kind of fishing loses something in the transition. We got back home Sunday evening in time to hear the President's message on the energy crisis and what faces us in the weeks and months to come. Sunday afternoon, I was sort of glad there is a gasoline shortage. If there was no shortage and everyone who wanted to travel but didn't because of gasoline shortages had been on the road, I don't believe I could have gotten up on 1-75 til yet. It was that crowded. The only evidence of a gasoline shortage was when you began to run low in the tank and try to find a station open. They were scarce. The thing which surprises me was the stations which were open. Remember back a few months ago when it was publicized that the major oil firms were manufacturing the gasoline shortage to squeeze the independents. out of business? The independents were open Thanksgiving day and Sunday but the major oil stations were not. Some of the President's recommendations for conserving energy are going to hurt a little. After listening to his suggestions and digesting them in the paper Monday morning, they appear to be suggestions which were well thought out. No doubt the 50 mile per hour speed limit will rankle a bit when one starts on a long trip, but the new limit probably won't delay the traveler very much. It'll save him money as well as gasoline and will more than likely do more than 50 Governor's "Arrive Alive" programs to cut down on traffic accidents. I'm a 70 mile per hour man myself out on the highways and slower if traffic situations call for it, but I'm going to slow it down, save my money and gasoline and arrive 10 minutes later. It's downright funny how all the politicians are getting on the conserve energy bandwagon. Representative Carl Albert made the headlines by saying President Nixon's conservation plan wouldn't work even before he publicized it. A few months ago, it was the "in" thing to shout for the ecology. Even before that, a man was elected to the Governor's chair on the favorite song of tax reform. He was elected, taxes were reformed and now we pay more. Maybe we had better quit listening, to the politician who jumps on these bandwagons. ? l EDWARD BALL 'WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA .

The Military Airlift Com- mand flew approximately 11,000 U.S.-based soliders and more 'than 1,000 tons of equipment to- three. different: -airfields in Gema_.y.--in preparation for the event.

Roche A well-adjusted person is one who can play golf and bridge as if they were games. Once a fool and his money were soon parted. Now the government doesn't make any distinction.

Should you fail to file a claim Should you or should you not fertilize shade trees? A great many people will go to any length to fertilize their lawns butj ever give a thought to wher the trees on their lawn get any nutrients at all. Their reason- ing seems to be that since forests make out fine without any artificial feeding, why' shouldn't residential type trees? Application of fertilizers can improve the general health of shade trees, in most cases, visibly. A healthy tree is much more able to resist insects and diseases. And has herein directed, judgment will be entered 'herein against you in due course. Persons not personally served with process may obtain a copy of the Petition for forfeiture filed herein from the undersigned Clerk of Court.

Florida. chemists make a synthetic geraniol oil. Its source? Florida pine. A good perfume .will To some people, the slash pine is an overrated symbol of Florida's forest resource. Beside the splendor of trees that glisten with color in fall, pine plantations are indeed monotonous to some. However, if there were but one slash pine standing anywhere, scientists, chem- ists, and researchers would probably stand before it in awe. The fact that so much of the Florida forest is in slash pine in no way lessens the marvel of the tree itself. From "essence of pepper- mint" to "essence of 'My Sin' perfume," it is a great synthesizer of magical sun- dries. From the very first when "Americans" came to this land they found massive and diverse forests which have never ceased to be useful. Yet Americans are surely not alone in drawing from their wooded resources., Italians squeeze an oil from the rind of a tiny citrus called bergamot and sell it world- wide to perfume' blending houses. In Florida, chemists make a synthetic bergamot oil from the "perfumery" tree. Brazilians distill the wood of a tree to derive rosewood oil for use in perfumes and cosmetics. In Florida chem- ists make a synthetic rose- wood oil from the"niagic tree. Natives of India aiid Ceylon distill grasses to yield citron- ella and citral oils, both very heavy lemony aromas, for use in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. In Florida chem- ists make these oils syntheti- cally from pine. contain over 100 ingredients and less than a dozen perfumery oils are now produced by research cheln- ists; these are often, how- ever, the larger components in a fine perfume. Today's perfume may have as much .as 40 percent of its volume synthesized from Florida's forests. Chemists hope some day soon to make it better than 75 percent. The secrets of the pine tree have been much exposed and utilized the past 20 years, and are yielding perfumery oils which are superior to the myrrh and frankincense available only to kings and queens 100 years ago.

Star photo TALLAHASSEE-rSome years ago, Donald Hamilton, creator of the Matt Helm adventure series of paper- backs, put together a book of outdoor-oriented stories titled, "On Guns and Hunt- ing." While the book is long out of print, a treasured, yet dog-eared copy, remains on my bookshelf, often to be taken down and re-read for the sheer pleasure of vicari- Sously enjoying a day or a week afield, shooting strange named birds on the Irish moors, or seeing a non- descript water dog retrieve ducks while working the At- lantic flyway. And as a final piece, the author offers a commentary, on the anti-gun movement, in which Hamilton clearly and concisely sweeps aside those routine rebuttals long offered to those of the anti-gun, anti-hunting faction. He grants this "anti" group the right to turn veg- ,etarian rather than sanction the slaughter of a pen-raised hereford steer for the dinner table. He doesn't kneel before the arguments of the "right to keep and bear arms" groups. He acknowledges a need for the harvest of a renewable resource -via the hunt route. And he puts into words the fact that he enjoys shoot- ing. Not, he argues, that he has a right to hunt, or that our forefathers tamed the coun- try while hunting, or any of the normal and accepted ar- guments in this vein. He simply states that he loves to fire his guns. He speaks with love of the feel of a good riflestockl fac- ing his cheek, the delicacy of squeezing off a round from a properly tuned target weapon, and the sheer pleas- ure derived as a mark appears in the center of an un- blemished square of target- board. And he smiles at the old argument of the gun haters, "If we prevent one tragic accident, it's worth removing all guns from the hands ..of:, individuals ..." In response he asks if we shall confiscate all boats, water skis, fishing tackle and swim trunks, since statistics show double the drownings occur than do shooting fatalities. And while he gently de- stroys the arguments of the more rabid factions of the antiss", he admits the gun hater will not be swayed from his rigid stance, and the anti- hunters will likely not join him on his next foray afield. But he does ask how these people have the right to tell him what he can or cannot do with his property, and his time, and his well-earned guns? Mr. Hamilton is a writer, and through his word use, well balanced with reason, he writes a piece about owning, using and enjoying guns. I'm sorry everyone can't read his article, since it says all the things the hunter and gun enthusiast would like to say. And it's a real pleasure to see, enjoy and re-read his words over again. Thank you, Donald Hamilton. KITCHEN CHATTER Let your electric oven with controlled heat by your helper today-saves time and energy for you.

"Come and Worship God With Us" Day Care Center, Tuesday and Thursday : :30-11:30 Color Up Your Home With Poinsettias Highly prized throughout Florida and widely beloved as a symbol of the Christmas season is the poinsettia. No other flower can make such a brilliant show of bright red throughout the festive weeks of December and January. The poinsettia, Euphorbia pulcherrima, is a member of the spurge family which includes common ornamen- tals like crown-of-thorns,. copper-leaf, castor-bean and Florida's colorful crotons. The naming of the poinsettia is a story in itself. The common name, poin- settia, honors Joel R. Poin- sett of Charleston, South Carolina who as United States Minister to Mexico introduced this plant from Mexico about 1830. The genus name, Euphorbia, comes from the Greek physician Euphorbus and includes many herbs and' shrubs having acrid milky juice. The species name, pulcherrima, is from the .Latin adjective pulcher-meaning beautiful or handsome. The Romans used intensifiers which they tacked on to their adjectives. Thus when the old botanist Karl Ludwig Willdenow was searching for a suitable name for the new Mexican plant he described about 15b years ago, he couldn't avoid calling it "the very beautiful Eup- horbia", or Euphorbia pul- cherrima. This example of how a plant is named points out the importance and significance of the scientific naming of all plants. The descriptive nature of the name is obvious when we learn the Latin meaning and the name is the same for all people since it is in Latin or a Latinized form of Greek. Another interesting point about poinsettias is their "flowers". The true flowers are small, green and yellow and inconspicuous. The showy red parts, often called flowers, are not parts of the flower; instead, they are highly. modified petal-like leaves, which the botanist calls bracts. The so-called white flowers of the dogwdod are also bracts. Poinsettias are predomi- nately greenhouse grown as pot plants for Christmas in most of the United States, but in Florida they .can be utilized as colorful landscape shrubs. In north Florida they can be frozen to the ground before flowering so are best used as pot plants. Varieties having red, white and pink bracts are available. Another excellent use of poinsettias is as cut flowers. The bracts need to be treated to coagulate the milky sap and reduce wilting. Immerse the cut end of the stem in hot water for one minute and then place immediately in cold water. An alternate method is to singe the cut end of the stem over a flame for a second or two and then place in cold water. Cut the flowers at least 18 to 24 hours before they are to be used and store in a cool place. If you're given a potted poinsettia for Christmas, don't ,throw it away after the holidays. Save the plant until there is no danger of a freeze and plant it in your home landscape. By next Christ- mas you can have a very large plant which will add a great deal of "spirit" and color to your home-inside and out!
