Fire claimed the life of Johnnie L. Mims, 69,

The alarmwas phoned in to the Port St. Joe
Fire Department at 8:45 P.M., Thursday and they
assisted the Highland View Department. Firemen
were not'aware-Mims was in the house until after
the flames were brought under control His body

Last Year In Gulf County Had A Little Bit of Every Kind of News


It was a year of progress, a 'year
of tragedy and a year of sensational
news in Port St. Joe and Gulf County
during the past year.
The most sensational story of the
year happened just as Father Time
was packing up his gear in prepara-
tion to moving out and leaving every-
thing to the New Year. Christmas
Eve, law enforecement agencies ap-
prehended approximately 18 tons of
marijuana on a farm near Overstreet,
which made the news over the entire
nation. Officials said the haul was the
largest ever made in the nation.
Tragedy stalked the highways of
Gulf County in 1973 as six people met
death on the 'roads. Records show
only four died on the County's high-


ways the previous year.
Sad news, for those who revere
the past, was the tearing down of
two landmarks in Port St. Joe. The
City's first school building, a two
story brick structure on Long Avenue
was razed. The building was con-
structed in 1916 and served the School
system continuously until the new
High School was built five years ago.
A second building, the old First
Baptist Church, was also torn down
during the year.
On the political front, the County
acquired its fourth Sheriff in 1973 as
Raymond Lawrence was sworn into
office, nosing out veteran Sheriff
Byrd E. Parker, who had served in
the office for 36 years. David Bidwell
became the County's fourth Superin-


tendent of Schools during the year.
Gulf County received its regular
decade snow in 1973 as the white
flakes barely covered the ground on
the morning of Saturday, February
10.
Things didn't always run smooth
in the County during the past year.
The County Commission was notified
during the year that the present
system of providing ambulance ser-
vice was no longer acceptable under
new state regulations. The Commis-
sion has been wrestling with the
problem all year and has decided to
tip-toe into the ambulance service
with state aid.
The gasoline shortage, which has
plagued the nation for most of the


,year arrived in Gulf County in June of
last year. But Gulf County immed-
iately did its part in solving the
problem when a genuine attempt was
made to find oil in the Odena area.
The attempt didn't meet with success
however.
An effort was started this past
year to try and combat the weed
problem which entomologists say is
killing the Dead Lakes in Wewa-
hitchka. Construction was started on
a structure to drain the Lakes per-
iodically and let the sun kill the
noxious weeds.
Pocketbooks of City dwellers
were hit this past year when the City
increased the amount to be charged
for water, sewer and garbage ser-


vices. The City Commission said the
new rate structure would make the
services self supporting.
The good news? Well, there was
some. St. Joe Paper Company and its
operating unions signed a new three
year contract without reverting to a
strike. A developer announced he had
purchased nearly 1,000 acres on St.
Joseph Peninsula and had plans to
construct 10,000 condominium apart-
ments on the property. A new charter
was applied for to secure a State
Bank in Port St. Joe. Port St. Joe
High School graduated 109 seniors.
The-Star changed over to the offset
method of printing. The new $9.2
million Wastewater Treatment plant
was finally finished and should now
be trying to start operations.

Schools Changing


Hours As DST Time

Begins Over Nation

Sunday morning, Gulf County and the
rest of the nation springs ahead to
Daylight Savings Time. This means we
must set the clock ahead Saturday night
by one hour.
This is four months earlier than the
usual switch to the early time, but has
been decreed by the Government in an
effort to conserve energy.
The new time also has prompted the
Gulf County School Board to juggle the
starting time for school here in the Port
St. Joe area.
When school starts again Monday
after the two week holiday vacation,
classes will get underway at 9:10 A.M. at
the Elementary schools and 9:30 A.M. at
the High School.
According to Supervising Principal,
Ken Herring, the new starting time will
not shorten the school day as the time for
releasing the students has also been set up
an hour. "We'll be starting school at the
same time as always by the sun", Herring
said, "But the clock will read an hour
later when the classes start."
Classes in Wewahitchka will start at
the same time by the clock as they have in
the past.


Workmen got started last week on the
construction of Port St. Joe's modern new fire
station, to be located behind the City Hall,
facing Williams Avenue.
J. B. Jinks Construction Company of
Panama City was the successful bidder on the

already. It's an adiiorabl.,h tliihe if
person can make resolutions and'
?tianage to keep them, but this isn't
usually the case. We all subscribe
to the cliche that resolutions are
made to be broken.
* We are in a ,|u;i.dr.,i a to what
we can resolve at the beginintii. of
-this fiew year andmnmnage In keep
.our resolve.
" We could resolve to look for or
?wish for the opportunity ,to better
jur financial standing in the new
'!ear This would be a popular and
.sought after position. -Everybody'
wants to pile up more financial
'goods. As a rule; though, this only
makes us impatient to earn and
collectt more.
We could resolve in 'the new
,year to go to the other extreme and
,slacken up in our work. taking
more 'days off and playing more.
This, though, would !only bring on
,.the desire 'to take more time to
play and would only sharpen -our
eagerness to have the time pass
faster so our days of play would get
-ground more often.
t: A new year could bring the
resolve to spend more time with
dur grandchildren, but they are so


lively an hour or two with those
wild horses makes our nerves get
edgy la,.,ir' we are ic.,d. l,,'..
Ohwtvi go home or turn IhIr i,,.,"r to
Grandma for a while.
It would be nice if we could
resolve .and iks k by a determina-
tion to go on a diet and maybe shed'
ten pounds or so, but if we were
successful, we might want to lose
more and :!i..n that would call for a
new wardrobe, which '** can't
afford. "J'ooA ,.i,,i a righ it takes too
much time and we all get impatient
to have the job done before -we even
get started.
We could resolve not to gripe
too much when things don't move
along as fast as we think they
should. This is a very nasty habit
and we know it. .
Looking over the list, it seems
the only thing we could resolved
which would be worthwhile would
be to resolve to be more patient.
This. would take care of all the
other resolves we probably couldn't
keep. All are dependent upon that
virtue of patience-a virtue which
we have so little of and need so
badly.
We'll resolve it, but we don't
think it's going to work.

The talk of the town in Port St. Joe this
past week, naturally, has been the big
marijuana haul at Overstreet. These things
always happen somewhere else, don't they?
We are so prone to ignore the warnings and
the list of things to look for in preventing crime
put out by the police, the FBI and other law
enforcement because this type of thing never
happens here. It always happens to other
people".
It was almost unbelievable that this much
marijuana could be brought to-iet her in .one
:pAt That's probably the reason this particular
spot was selected-because it was out of the
way.
One thing we noticed, though; Overstreet
was listed by the wire services as being near
Port St. Joe, not Panama City, as is usually the
case.

We made:, our usual Christmas telephone
calls to the in-laws in Minnii '~,l and soittle.
Washington last week. It hurt us to sit in the
bedroom at the telephone with our shoes off
and our s:tocki-eed feet perched up on the
window sill where the cool breezes could blow
between our toes while talking to relatives
buried under the snow.
It was near zero in St. Paul and freezing
in W iii( ,,' .

Who said the patent medicine show was
dead?
Have you watched television lately? The
medicine show is alive and kicking.
iniuldi you ,-',,"n n fi',,1iip. ,i. TV i,,-t the

the TV for the solution to your problem. Do you
hurt? There's no end of niili.i-.,iiais being

ailment. Dandruff? TV has the answer. Smell
bad? Again TV can solve your problem. Eye..
tired or ",\-r 40"? '"Th, TV "medicine shmw"
even has the answer for that one.
Bilious? I have the solution for that one.
Turn off the TV.

Think prices are high today? I ran across

oi:.' :.ways. In 1864, Bacon was .: i- a pound.
Today, it is advertised in The Star for 99c.
Butter was $4.50 in 1864 and today it is
$1.00 a pound. 0 'i,.f-,, in 1864 was $10.50 a pound
and today is around 80c.
The beautiful part about it all is that today
we have the price of the commodity. In 1864
they didn't and didn't have any hopes of getting
it. If they did luck up on a .little money, it
wasn't any good because the people had lost
faith in its valub.
Just thought I'd throw in that little piece of
information to sort of let you know we are
starting a new year in pretty good shape after
all.

Usually I write this piece on Saturday
afternoon after everyone has gone home and
there's nobody around to disturb what little
thoughts I may have. This week, with the
holidays, the thoughts didn't come Saturday, so
the writing was put off until Monday, when the
thoughts still didn't show up.
Last week, I picked up the Tallahassee
Democrat and saw that Editor Malcolm
Johnson filled up one of his columns on just
such an occasion by going on for a full column
about how a columnist should be prepared for
those moment when the words just won't
come. He did al pretty good job of it too.
I'm not going to do that, though, I'm just
going to turn everything off and go home to
watdh Alabama win the Sugar Bowl.
TUESDAY-H-m-m-m-m! They didn't do it
did they! The easiest thing to do would be to
just throw away the paragraph above and let it
go at that. On second thought, though, I'll just
leave it there and give Padre David O'Shea
something to gloat over start his new year
off right.

Getting back to TV. I'm amazed at the
Wisk commercial and its cure for "ring around
the collar"., My Momma used to tell me she
knew best and she used to call it "dirty collar".
She would tell me to wash my neck better
and I wouldn't have dirty collar. The question
now comes to my mind as to whether "ring
around the collar" and "dirty collar" are one
and the same thing. If so, does Wisk clean
one's neck as well as the shirt collar, or is this
just another case for an examination of "truth


in advertising"?
I'm sure Momma was right because she
said she was. To give her the benefit of the
doubt, there was no such thing as Wisk then.
We had to make do with Oxydol and Octagon
and elbow grease.

A'


New Strain of



Grass Grown for



Florida Lawns


What's new in lawn
grasses? Well, if you're
looking for a grass for that
npw 1974 hemp or a repl.areL
r ,..-w ipr E ii..o old,. '. -. ..*'f
,-w., ,Ph., uP.ere's a brand
new variety *~,,. ,r you should
know about.
Its name is 'Floratam'. It's
fast growing, dark green,
broad leafed and in several
ways, superior to several
older lawn varieties. If you're
interested, read on.
'Floratam' is a L,. ,,:.
released variety of St.
Augustine grass for Florida
lawns. This new addition was
released ...,.i.E,. by the
University of'. Florida and
Teax A & M l,.-' *'., thus
the name 'Floratam', which
denotes Florida .l(..r..' and
Texas A & M (Tam).
But, why all the excitement
about another lawngrass,
-especially St. ,r i,
S'f -' First of all, .,. are
St. u'-' grasses so
popular in Florida?
St. Augustine grasses are
the most versatile of Flori-
da's lawngrasses. i ,..
thrive quite well on acid or
alkaline soils, in soils very
low in organic matter or on
pure organic *-',i. in full sun
or r...,:,'f'.,. shade, and on'
Poorly drained or well
drained soils. St. ., w i,; .'.
grasses are. the most salt
tolerant of our lawngrasses
and have r,'i.,i' fewer
disease and nematode prob-
lems. As a result, they have a
rather low maintenance
requirement in comparison to
many other types 6f lawn-
grasses. All of these advan-
tages have made St. August-
ine grass the most commonly
planted turf for home lawns
in Florida and along the Gulf
Coast area.
Why is this new variety
'Floratam' any better than
older ( ',,:,'. like common
'Bitter Blue' or 'Floratine'?
First of all, 'Floratam' shows
resistance to a disease
called SAD virus and also has
resistance to an insect called
the chinch, bug. Of less
importance, 'Floratam' is
very vigorous, covering the
ground rapidly, has -good
color, fair tolerance to downy
mildew and gray leaf spot
diseases, and is well adapted
to growing conditions in
Florida. Perhaps the first two
advantages need some ex-
planation.
St. Augustine Decline,
abbreviated SAD, is a new
mosaic Virus disease of St.
Augustine grass first ob-
served in Texas in 1966. It
has caused extensive damage
to lawns in Texas. SAD virus


has not been found in Florida
to date, but it has spread
throughout southern Texas,
.Ji,' f.' "J'i .,,, v. I. ,i '. ., .. ... .

are very good. All of the
older varieties of St. Augus-
,..", are .. ..* ', ', to the
SAD virus, however, Flora-
tam' shows resistance to St.
',...... '.. Decline. For this
.reason alone, 'Floratam'
becomes an extremely
important .."-,.," *'. to the St.
i,& .:.., 1n.1.. grasses commer-
- ..r. available I.... -: now
has.a strain of St. -\.'.>',-,r....
resistant to 'r.- virus should
it ever be introduced ..-' -
state. A resistant variety is
* r'..-:il' important because
there is no- other way to
control this virus disease:
At the present time, the
biggest problem with St.
Ar>,>.iir grass lawns in
Florida is the chinch bug.
These bugs cause severe
damage .to .many lawns
N '.[...,.-,a Florida and per-
.- .- require expensive
chemical control using insect-
icides. Independent labora-
tory and greenhouse trials in
Florida and' Texas have
shown 'Floratam' to be
resistant to chinch bug
injury. If this resistance
holds true in p.i-. .
[t,'..,r.' .,.wt the state, 'Flora-
tam''will play-a major role in
..1 ; ...-1i.i or ,, -r ._ this
insect pest which is the
biggest problem on St.
.. i..' .-a r.e lawns.
'Floratam' does have sev-
eral problems as do many
other St. A,,'.,. grasses
so don't think it is the
"cure-all" for all your lawn
problems. It has broad leaves
and a coarse texture; its
color is not as blue-green as
the varieties 'Bitterblue' or
'Floratine'; it grows 4 *e'
rapidly and needs frequent
mowing and possibly control
of thatch; and it is suscepti-
ble to damage by lawn
caterpillars and gray leaf
spot and brown patch
disease, as are all St. August-
ine grasses.
If you are considering
planting St. Augustine grass-
es, the new 'Floratam'
variety should at least be
considered. It has advantages
and disadvantages like all
lawngrasses, but its resist-
ance to SAD virus and resist-
ance or high tolerance to
chinch bug damage should
make it an extremely import-
ant addition to the St. August-
ine grasses presently avail-
able.

Vision plays a more impor-
tant role in driving than most
people realize said the Florida
Highway Patrol this week.
Patrol Director Colonel El-
drige Beach offered the follow-
ing tips to improve seeing
habits even though a driver has


excellent eyesight:
-People in the northern part
of Florida should clean the frost
from their windows each mor
ning before leaving home.
-Do not wear colored, tinted
or polarized glasses and face
shields while driving at night


as this positively restricts your
vision. However, they may
lessen eye strain when dri' i"n
in bright sunlight.
-Keep'headlights and tail-
lights clear of mud and bugs as
this can cut illumination in half.
When driving at night and
meeting another car, do not
look at its headlights; try to
look at the rightside of the road.
-Replace windshieldwipers
as soon as they appear to be


deteriorating enough to reduce
vision
-When leaving a brightly lit
restaurant or service station at
night, remember that it takes
your eyes several minutes to
get their night vision back so
drive accordingly.
-If you have less than 20-20
vision, driveata reduced speed
because you may not recognize
stop signs or dangerous situa-
tions in time to take action.

GAME AND FRESH WATER FISH COMMISSION


TALLAHASSEE-Ask any
fisherman and he will tell you
that Florida bass grow big. In
.the past, anglers from all
points north, east, and west
traveled to the Sunshine State
with high hopes of catching
the buglemouth tackle-buster
that would erase the world
record of 22 pounds, four
ounces, caught in a Georgia
lake in 1932,
Today, it appears as
thl.;-ih;t a Florida black -bass
will, sometime during 1974,
c.iI.'b i' a new world record.
. While the bass will be Florida,
the body of water will be far
removed from the mocking-
birds and orange trees and
pf-'b.ibly be situated as a
water supply reservoir near
the City of San Ti, :'.: in
Southern California.
While the world record
black bass has not been
seriously challenged in some
forty years, the record book
has reported hearing foot-
steps during the past few
years and these footsteps
were caused by a number of
Florida black bass that were
released in a certain Califor-
nia lake in San Diego C'..unt,
beginning in 1960.
On June 23, 1973, a
young gentleman of Clare-
mont, California, caught a
bass in Lake Miramar and the
angler got so excited that he
forgot to pull in his anchor
before heading back to the
boat dock. He dragged anchor
and line all the way across the
lake in his haste to weigh his
monster Florida-strain bass.
He did have good reason to
be excited.
The fish was verified by
California fish biologist as a
20-pound, 15-ounce bass, the
largest ever taken in Califor-
nia and, quite possibly, one
of the second or third largest
bass ever caught in th' United
States. The Florida-strain
California bass fell only one
pound and five ounces short
of the world record.


The footsteps being heard
by the record keepers is the
progression of big Florida
bass being -: ,r.,; in the
California lake. In 1968, it
was 14 pounds, ?:' ..'.:,+ In
1969. (15 pounds, four
ounces), 1970 (not official
since a pbacher caught a
15-pound, seven and three-
quarter ounce bass out of
season), 1971 (16 pounds, 11
ounces), and 1972 (17
pounds, 14 r,'o '.
The Florida fish released
in the Ca..: .. 'lake grow
short and stocky and feed
heavily on the planted
catchable-size rainbow trout.
The 20-pound, 15-ounce
catch was described as an
overstuffed grotesque beadh
ball with two eyes and a tail
Not to be outdone, Okla-
homa- anglers have started
licking their chops, in an-
:-. .'r .of some real
tackle-bustin' experiences in a
few years, as I1 ,\:) Florida
black bass between four and
eight inches long were recent-
ly stocked in nine Oklahoma
impoundments.
The Florida bass has been
widely acclaimed as a strain
that achieves larger body size
and weight than the large-
mouth bass native to Okla-
homa and it is expected that
the Florida bass may live
longer than native fish, con-
tributing to the possibility
the fish may obtain a heavier
and larger body size during its
life span.
Yes, there is no doubt that
the record largehnouth bass
will soon tumble and the
cause of the fall will be a
Florida bass. The big question
in the minds of Florida
anglers-will it be a Florida
bass, or a Florida-California
bass, or perhaps a Flcrida-
Oklahomc bass. Regcrdiess cf
strain o r ocation, we don:t
anticipate Florida anglers
giving up the quest for the
new record, as the real goal is
in the fun of trying.

Motorists Must



Show Proof of



Responsibility


Motorists in Gulf bounty
and elsewhere in Florida are
-reminded that after January
1 they cannot pass auto
inspections unless they show
proof, of liability insurance
Coverage.
If motorists don't have
such insurance they'll just
have to go back and get it.
The -state no-fault insur-
ance law makes liability
insurance mandatory after
January I and the job of
enforcing the law has been
turned over to the Highway
Patrol.
The patrol will make an
insurance check a routine
,part of every vehicle inspec-
tion. Unless the motorist
shows acceptable proof of
insurance, he' cannot get a
sticker.
There is no penalty for
drivers who fail to get
insurance before they have
their cars inspected, unless
they are involved in an
accident. Then they can lose
their tag and driver's license.
Auto inspection stations


will accept four documents as
proof of insurance:
An insurance policy;
An insurance policy binder;
Certificate of insurance,
usually issued to self-insured
drivers or vehicles covered
by fleet insurance;
A uniform identification
card issued by the insurance
company and approved by
the Department of Insurance.
Mandatory liability insur-
ance must provide coverage
of at least $10,000 for death or
injury to one person, $20,000
for death or injury to two or
more persons and $5,000 for
property damage.
Highway Patrol figures
show 14 percent of all drivers
involved in accidents do not
have insurance.

Plowing


Ruling Is


Muddy

Representative Billy Joe
Rish announced that there
was some confusion in recent
news releases regarding the
policy of plowing fire lines by
the State Division of. For-
estry, A recent release had
indicated that all plowing for
small landowners would be
discontinued.
Rep. Rish stated, "I have
visited 'with John Bethea and
others in the Dep.ir';e:.' of
'-.- j.'.ur-.' and tb"'. have
advised ":me that they will
continue' to perform ; k-.:n
services for small land-
owners with small jobs at no
cost to the landowner if the
job has some connection with
burning or fire 'r '.*er!...n
After the first few minutes of
plowing the landowner will
then be required to pay for
the services as has been
customary in the past."
"This is one of the finest
services .'provided for our
small landowners and I am
grateful that the Department
of Agriculture can readily see
the value of this service."
Rish was high in his praise of
the work and ..;.ow "'.-.*.
which the Division of For-
estry had given in clearing
up this problem.

DOTHAN, ALA.-The
Coast Guard will install new
navigational aids on the
Apalachicola -Chattahoochee -
Flint river system, beginning
in about two weeks.
Chief Warrant Officer Wil-
laim L. Demetropoulos of the
Mobile station told river
users at a 'meeting here Fri-
'day, Dec. 28, that new mar-
kers requested by the Tri-
Rivers Waterway Develop-
ment' Association are 'being
manufactured. He said he
would begin installing them
in about two weeks, starting
at the mouth of the Apalach-
icola River, continuing up the
Chattahoochee to Columbus,
and then moving to the Flint.
.He expects the change-over
to take, about 30 days.
Congress recently author-
ized $17,500 for the project, at


the request of Tri-Rive-s.
Demetropoulos designed
the new "day marks" and
bouys after meeting with cap-
tains and touring the river
with working tug. boats to
observe problems in the
existing marker system.
With the new system,
Demetropoulos said, Coast
SGuardsmen will be able to
mQve a bouy immediately
after a hazard is reported.
Demetropoulos' said this
would be the first trial for the
new steering guides -but that
another waterway system
already had asked to be next
-in line for them. '

the Tri-Rivers :-'*: r1.., rr:'.-

contact your local county service officer for a summary,
of benefits which you and your dependents may be,
entitled.


One of the latest demon-
strations of environmental
concern by a major agricul-
tifral firm is the Asgrow Seed
Company's decision to mini-
mize the placement of their
signs along public roads and
highways.
The company will place
signs only to mark test plot
locations, and .to identify
dealers in the future, accord-
ing to Bill Schapaugh, gen-
eral manager of the firmn's
agronomic division.
Previously, salesmen! and
dealers often placed signs
where crops were planted
with the company's seed
along well-traveled thorough-
fares, Schapaughl says. This
amounted to thousands of
signs around the country.
"Although some states are
taking, action to prohibit or
limit placement of signs along
public roads, such signs re-
main legal in many areas,"
Schapaugh explains. "How-
ever, we feel that the trend
to scenic beautification is
clear and we plan to help
lead in supporting this cause
on a voluntary basis."
In the past`; Asgrow has
used three types of signs, in-
cluding Aealer identification
signs, small signs for crop
variety identification, and
larger (40" x 48") road signs
containing the familiar-com-
pany trademark; In the fu-
ture, these road signs and
crop identification signs will
be limited to educational crop
demonstration locations. Only

I'll never see a tree at all.
