w * THIRTY-SEVENTH YEAR, NUMBER 16 Industry Deep Water Port- Fine People- Safest Beaches in Florida PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA THURSDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1973 *W TEN CENTS A COPI Said To Be Largest Haul In Nation Big Pot Cache Uncovered Near Overstreet Gulf County Sheriff Ray- mond Lawrence and Deputy Tom Berlinger saw six weeks of investigation and surveil- lance bear fruit Christmas Eve, when they were part of a combined law enforcement force which was successful in arresting a marijuana dis- tribution ring and captur- ing what has been described as the largest single haul of the weed ever confiscated in the United States. Federal, state and local law enforcement officers seized the "pot" and several vehicles in Gulf, Leon, Jefferson and Madison coun- ties and Quittman, Ga., arresting 13 persons in the process. At the Overstreet depot for the "pot" shipments, some 15 tons of the weed was confiscated, valued at around $10 million. In all, 22 tons were collected by the offi- cers, valued at $20 million. Seven trucks, including several horse trailers and campers were also seized. At the Overstreet site, two trucks and two trailers were seized. All were loaded with the illicit weed.. Arrested at Overstreet was Lavel "Sparky" Raffield. States Attorney Leo Jones, who was present for the raid set Raffield's bail at $150,000. Also arrested were Theo George Fotianos, 24, William E. Northrup, 25, Jorge Enrique Soto, 24 and Charles L. Martin in Tallahassee. All are being held without bond. Arrested in Jefferson County was Ernest Eugene Williams, 25, in possession of 2,200 pounds of marijuana. In Madison County, David Ronald Bateman, 31, Ray- mond Hawkins, 29 and his wife Karen Margaret Haw- kins, 19 and Kenneth Earl Taylor, 36. All were charged- with conspiracy and narco- tics violations. Thomas Michael-Patton, 25, of St. Petersburg.was arrest-. ed in Suwannee County and seized approximately one ton of marijuana. According to Florida D apartment of Law Enforc ment spokesman,. Jack Da kins, surveillance had be conducted for more than fi weeks of a tin barn Raffield's farm at Ove street. They observed t] illegal drug being moved o Sunday and at first decidE to follow it to try andcatr others. Early in the mornir Christmas Eve, the office decided to move in and h the storage barn and picked up the loads in.transit. Law officials theorize th marijuana was brought Overstreet from either C lumbia or Jamaica by bo, up the Gulf County can where it was. unloaded an stored in the barn. Sheriff Lawrence said off cials felt they had broken u the distribution center for th entire southeastern Unite States. Raffield told a Star reprE sentative, "It's getting ha: der every day to make buck.

Bales Are Marked by Weight and Grade Sikes Favors Recreation Fuel Congressman Bob Sikes of Florida has called attention to the fact that restrictions placed on the uses of gasoline and other sources of energy for recreational purposes have been eliminated in the conference version of the energy bill. Floridians have a vital interest in tourism and recreation which could have been badly hampered under the language in the version of the bill which passed the Senate. The House bill did not contain such a proviso and instead had language which recognized the essentiality of recreational uses of fuel. The Accident Damage Considerable conference version elimi- nated the Senate language and the conference report spells out the fact that undue restrictions on gasoline and other energy sources for recreational purposes could harm activities on which many cities and towns are dependent. Two Cars Tota led In Wreck Twd\people were taken to Municipal Hospital for obser- vation following an automo- bile accident Saturday, just after noon. The accident occurred at the intersection of Garrison Avenue and Fifth Street, where the two automobiles collided. Mrs. Roy Taylor of 605 Marvin Avenue and Jerald Donald Leedom were both examined for possible injur- ies following the mishap. According to City Police Patrolman Bobby Lightfoot, Mrs. Taylor was traveling South on Garrison when she crossed the intersection in the path of the second car, driven by Leedom. Mrs. Taylor's auto was struck in the driver's side and the. other vehicle was hit on the front and spun around to strike the Taylor car with its rear end. Leedom is a resident of 8800 Thomas Drive, Panama City. Both cars were determined to be total losses. R -- .., I PAGE TWO .THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla..THURSDAY, DEC. 27. 1973 .. U.

Nixon Vindicated S It took a lawyer to vindicate the stubborness of President Nixon in his reluctance to release any of .his 'tapes and. records for the Watergate investigating commit- tee. Attorney William Dobrovir proved last week that Nixon's claims the tapes would no longer remain confidential and privileged information would be jeopardized should the tapes leave his hands. -Attorney Dobrov'ir, attending a -cocktail party, let the cocktail do the talking, evidently, and had to brag a little by playing the tapes. whi'fh had .beerin subpoenaed' bi; the,' Ralph ;,aN a P. grpup. Wie don't 'know. what right Mr. Nadar has to have a ,, ,s:,ubpoena grant tfM","' ffg'etW"- access to the Preftihp f t other editorial ( One would '-xI- fln wouldd have had better sense than co do what he did, since a lawyer's busirtess with his cliens is also Year of Ui We will begin a new ear in. Florida' and Gulf County in six more days which is beginning to take on an air of uncertainty. There is no doubt that the State of Florida is justified in visioning an uncertain year, since the bulk of our tax structure is based on the tourist business and good times. If' the tourist can't travel to and from Florida, there is no doubt the sales tax"base will suffer. -; 'Of course, the state is in pretty good shape for a while, since we have run large surpluses -in the. state budget for the past two years. But in a state which. has a budget of over two billion 'doI'f9, a surplus of several hundred, million dollars will not be a very secure cushion. ' Locally, things should t'be as _ uncertain. Our base. is' industry, confidential, i just like the Presi- dent's private conversations. v Dobrovir's excuse for playing the tapes- was that nobody had asked him to keep them secret, This shouldn't have been necessary since his group gained access only after going through the courts. The errant lawyer apologized for his indescretion, but this doesn't "un-play" the tapes. Dobrovir was stupid in his actions He was only one of .the Ralph Nadar group and possibly the onl, one \ho would rnake a slip like-this But the slip was made. .pointing .out graphically .that the PF idit, ,' fears 'his' 'confidential :com\ersation- might. reach. ears with .tourism as a sidelihe-al- though a substantial sideline-and we should fare better than the state as a whole. We will, probably see some power shortages, some gasoline shortages, which could .xery 'well affect our industry. Right now, our industries are :-able, to sell 'more than they cdn make, but if they canr get no fuel, they can't make anything. If we can get a reasonable amount of fuel, we should 'fare pretty- well even though there is little doubt we will see a slackening ofn the economy as we have come to know it in the past few years., If we can go through an eight month -*strike of the backbone industry of our county without losing everything, we should be able to tighten our belt without too much discomfort.. "-I' s Kutie There is more than one way to relax. People do it in levels. I had an Uncle Dick who relaxed every chance he got but mostly after five o'clock and all day Saturday and Sunday and the first part of Blue Monday. He didn't mean any harm and' really loved everybody but once in a while he seemed to get a little over exuberant-what- ever that means. We didn't have any straight jackets in those days so we tied him in a rocking chair after cutting a hole in the seat and let him relax and rock. Ernie Ford keeps talking about a bucket under a bull so who not a bucket under Uncle Dick? He couldn't maneuver very far but one time he did manage to rock across the front porch and tumbled head over tea kettle down the steps and on to the brick walk. liHe didn't break any bones but demol- ished the chair, rockers and all, and' escaped in the process. Staggering out into the street, bad luck overtook him: He came up into the wind trying to decide on what course to take and fell backward to spreadeagle into a thick patch of sandspurs which securely pinhedi him,. down. He looked so pitiful I had to go back in the house and take a big drink to keep from crying. "Uncle Dick", I said, when I got back out, "Do you want me to pick you up?". "Yes son", he replied, after thinking it over, "You can pick me up. But pick me straight up. Don't drop me a ?&+(! inch." KILLER K...

I didn't get at my gift buying until Saturday. What with a large paper last week, and Christmas falling on the day we normally put most of this one together, we had to do a schedule re-arranging in order to take Christmas off and still get out a paper at the regular time. But, we made it, by writing this coulmn on Saturday afternoon, and I'm sure we'll all have a wonderful time on Christmas Eve and Christmas day. Christmas was probably a pleasure for everyone everyone except the garbage man, that is. He is probably wishing the custom would change somehow since his Wednesday and Thursday following Christmas is probably rivaled only by a warm week end in- the middle of the watermelon season so far as his load of work is concerned. Part of the duties of being an editor is to attend all those dinners given for .special occasions. It's evident I try not to miss too many of them either. Friday night, I attended a fish fry given for the law enforcement people in the County. I sat right across the table from Robert Wilson and his wife Lula. Robert is a disgrace', to all married men. He and his wife walked up to the table and he hustled over and drug out Mrs. Wilson's chair for her and saw that she was seated comfortably, asking if. there was anything he could get for her. Husbands just don't-do that sort of thing . and Robert is just trying to make trouble for us " other husbands. : S. w wuld ave ljust drawn; the, natural-!,- OI u9,US0ib4hat Ro,ert had done something 'he-.

Hutchinson made the news last week- when he refused a hefty salary for his services. Hutchinson had been offered $25,000 to $30,Qp0 for the job and he refused it by saying the job wasn't worth that much. All Hutchinson would.'. take was $18,500.00, which he had been making at another state job. I didn't know 'they made that kind anymore. The oil companies must know something. A combine of companies paid the federal government $1.491 billion for the right to explore for oil on the floor of the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Florida, Alabama and Mississippi last Thursday. That's a lot of money. Evidently, the oil companies don't go along with Attorney General Robert Shevin's crystal ball which says there is no appreciable amount of oil in the Gulf. Anybody that would pay that- fiuch for the privilege to look believes otherwise, it would be natural to assume. While this a windfall for the federal government, it is the user of oil who will pay for it in the long run, so don't crow too soon. As it now stands, we will revert to Daylight Savings Time on January 6. This is what Congress says. Florida' is in a different position, though. The law leaves some loopholes for states having two time zones in its borders. It stands to reason the Florida Legislature will consider this question when it convenes in special session in a few days to make an attempt to ease up on Florida's oil spill law. I If the Legislature doesn't rule to the contrary, you can get set to turn your clock up a i(c' .ch on January 6. - Bowling, News , Ladies' Winter League The Ladies Winter League met December 13 with Basic taking three from Jimmy's.

Sidney Ellis told the Port St. Joe Rotary Club last Thursday,. in a Christmas message, that it was nearly the end of the fourth century before Christianity adopted the observance of Christmas. Rev. Ellis said the- custom is derived from a Roman holiday which celebrated the birthday of the sun. Chris- tians decided to expand the observance by celebrating the birthday of the Son of Light. The date of the birthday of Jesus isn't known. so in the beginning, different -,: -. : - philosophies observed differ- ent dates. The Orthodox churches. which included the Greek Orthodox churches of :,, observed Christmas on January 6 and still do. Churches breaking off from the Orthodox and denomina- tions which have sprang up since that time, observe the on December 25. "This is where the '12 Days of Christmas' comes from", Ellis said, "The 12 days between I)ecember 25 and January 6."

THURSDAY, DEC. 27, 1973 Care for Your "Living Gift" If you were the lucky recepient of a dish garden, potted flower or foliage plant this Christmas you are probably wondering how you should care for your "living" gift. Most homeowners kill their plants with kindness- literally that is! Over-watering and over- fertiliiing often cause more problems than a lack of these essentials for plant growth. Keep the following ideas in mind and your plants will be with you for many years to . come. First of All, there is no such thing as a, house plant-a plant intended to grow inside a home, office or other building. When plants are grown indoors several restrictions are imposed upon them. Lack of sufficient light .and low humidity are pro- bably the most 'severe restrictions but temperatures can also be a problem. Many foliage plants prefer a relatively strong, filtered or diffused light. Places near windows or light fixtures are usually suitable but avoid direct sunlight or very dark areas of the home. Flowering plants such as mums and poinsettias will stand more light than foliage plants and should be placed in bright areas. Watering is one of the chief caused of failure with plants in. the home especially for containers which don't have drainage holes. Generally speaking, most house plants will require a thorough soaking once a week. Water only when necessary and don't let the pots stand in saucers of water unless the plants are very tolerant to excess water. Overwatering can kill the plant roots and increase chance of disease and eventually kill the entire plant. Most plants grow well. in temperatures of 60 to 70 -degrees. Don't place the plants in drafty locations where sudden changes in temperature occur and don't place plants close to radia- tors or a heat or air conditioner grill. r Proper fertilization is another important part of growing healthy plants. Fol- low all the directions on the container so that you don't overfertilize your plants. Too much fertilizer can eventual- ly kill your plants. Watch for the common symptoms of foliage plant troubles which are as fol- lows: Brown tips or burned margins of leaves--caused by too much fertilizer, plants dried out temporarily or wind burn. Yellowing and dropping of leaves-can be caused by gas fumes, chilling, overwater- ing, poor drainage and poor aeration. Weak growth 'or light green or yellow leaves-indi- cates too intense light, lack of fertilizer or a poor root system. Wilting-too ntuch heat, lack of water or root injury. Spindly growth 'and small leaves-too little light or too high temperatures.

Flu~ ' In spite of the fact that you are being asked to conserve energy, and thankfully many of you are, your electric bill is going to continue to go up each month in the year ahead. The cost of oil to make the electricity you use has tripled this year alone. It will continue to rise in 1974. We pass along this increase through an adjustment on your monthly bill. None of this cost adjustment remains at Florida ,4 Power. Just as we collect utility ,., Fi Pc taxes for many cities and give the money to those cities, the money -we collect for the continually increasing cost of oil passes on to foreign interests. What we are saying is that in spite of all you do to conserve energy, you still could be getting a higher bill every month because of the skyrocketing cost of oil. So, in the interest of the fuel shortage and your electric bill, please conserve wherever you can and as often as you can. orida )wer distance and cooperation his Department has received from the Auxiliary and -offered his support in the year to come. Farming Is Big Business The late Pope John is credited with the remark that 'there are three w asol losing money. quickly\ -%omen, gambling, and larming-and that farming is the dullest of allthree It is really\ too bad -that , Pope J6hn is not.-.' rouid . today to see hot' things have changed While the econo- mnicsof romance may ha\e changed %er' little-and the hazards ol gambling not at all-agriculture has become front page headlines across the country. Our agricultural trade has played a significant part in garnering more of the public's attention on farming in this country. People want to know about our trade, what products we are sending overseas, what we are getting in return for these sales, and what it really means to them. First, it might be a good idea to put agriculture into perspective as an industry in America. For some people accustomed to thinking of agriculture in terms of the foreclosures and farm sales of the Depression, it comes as a surprise to learn that agriculture is not only the leading industry in the United States, it is the leading growth industry. The production segment of agriculture along represents an investment of over $343 billion-equal to 44 percent of the market value of all corporation stocks listed on the New York Stock Ex- change. About three-fifths of the land in the United States 1.3 billion acres-is used to produce crops and graze livestock. Agriculture is also the leading employer in the United States, with about one-third of the labor force involved in production, pro- cessing or marketing of farm and food products. Farmers and farm workers total about five million, while off-farm workers whose jobs are related to agriculture another 19 million. And, it's not so hard for farmers to make money this year. Net realized income from farming in 1973 will approach $24 billion-about a fifth over last year. Agricultural production accounts for 16 percent o. the gross national product. The export of our agricul- tural products has become a significant industry, with a growth rate even higher than that of agriculture in total- about 12 per cent annual growth, not counting in last year's tremendous rise.
