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

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.

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.

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.

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..

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."

Christmas almost came too early for me,
even though I did have a 12 month warning it
was coming. 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. :

Florida's new fuel director, Homer G.
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.

Origin

Of Xmas

Is Told

Rev. 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."

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.

Your



electric bill could be



at least 50% higher


next year.


Here's why.
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.

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.

SAY YOU SAW IT
