Vandals

Slash

59 Tires
Gidulf County Sheriff Ray-
mond Lawrence stated that
on# arrest has been made,
and another is anticipated in
the near future, in what can
be best described As the
worst tire slashing incident
Gulf County has ever wit-
nessed.
The. vandals struck the City
of Wewahitchka on Thursday
night, and began cutting tires
all around town. By the time
it was over, a total of 59 tires
had. been slashed, including
the tires of school buses, log
trucks and the city garbage
truck, ;
Wewahitchka Police Chief
J. H. "Preacher" Glass trail-
ed the suspects in and around
town, knowing they were the
"right ones", but could never
catch them in the act.
-On Friday, Chief Glass and
Sgt. Tom Berlinger of the
Sheriff's Office gathered
enough data to obtain arrest
warrants on the suspects.
The investigation will be
continuing, until all suspects
have been thoroughly investi-
gated, said the Sheriff.

Port St. Joe High School's
baseball team started prac-
tice this week in preparation
for their 23 game schedule
which gets underway on Feb-
ruary'22 in Tampa.
Coach Gerald Lewter has
16 candidates out for the
team already with the expec-


station of a few more report-
ing after the basketball sea-
son.
"We have a large number
of Seniors this year," Lewter
said, "and all of them have a
lot of experience with the
team." Lewter said the
Sharks should have a good


year.
TRIP SCHEDULED
The team is'in for a treat
this year as they will start
their season with a week end
baseball schedule in Tampa
with Jesuit High. While in
Tampa the team will visit
some of the big league train-
ing camps in the area.

Continued trouble with the
bridge spurred the Port St.

matter last year which re-
sulted in an extensive survey
by the DOT to pinpoint the
source of the problems. It


was found the wiring was
obsolete and inadequate with
controls being widely sep-
arated causing problems with
repairs. The DOT decided to
solve the problem by com-
pletely renovating the wiring
in the bridge mechanism.


Judge Smith Places Robe on Moore as Mrs. Moore Helps



Judge Moore Receives Robes


All the Circuit Judges of

fect, .-'r :.r,'eJ Moore as an
acting *.l .:u" Judge here in
Gulf County.
Chief Judge Robert M. Mc-
Crary of Marianna pointed
out the appointment would
provide a much needed ser-
vice for the County and re-
lieve the load on the five
judges now serving in the six
county district. McCrary said
the position is conferred only
on County Judges who have
at least five years' exper-
ience in the practice of law.

Jr., spoke for .it'~-r..h:.g at-
torneys of the District de-
clared he felt Moore was
well qualified for the post and
would prove to be .fair in his
decisions.
Judge Smith said Moore
would now have jurisdiction
over County judicial matters
and some Circuit Court jur-
isdiction matters as well as
serve in the Circuit Judge
capacity on all matters in an
emergency.
In his response, Moore re-.
called he came to Gulf Coun-
ty at the urging of David Carl
Gaskin, "to practice in the


leisurely fashion of the small
town. Then I became associ-
ated with Cecil G. Costin and
found I was wasting eight
good hours a day-I was
sleeping regular. Cecil cured
me of that habit."
Moore said he considered
himself lucky to be in Gulf
County "where the Reople are
so wonderful and -patient to
someone who is learning and
making mistakes."
Rev. DeWitt Matthews
opened the program with
prayer and Rev. Sidney Ellis
gave the benediction.

Ideas Differ on


Landscape Plans


Landscaping means differ-,
ent things to different people,
but a simple definition is
"planning and developing
your exterior environment to
make the best use of space
available in the most attrac-
tive way". Your home
deserves the best setting you
can give it and your family
the maximum use and enjoy-
ment of their surroundings.
Most everyone considers
their family's comfort and
convenience when buying a
home, but it is equally
important to develop the out-
door living areas with the
same considerations.
Proper planning is the key
to landscaping. Every square
foot of space and every dollar


should be used to produce
maximum returns, .In many
cases, the skilled landscape
architect should be contact-
ed. But, if an architect is out
of the question or you want a
do-it-yourself .plan, consider
the following points.
Always keep in mind the
limitations you will face in
developing your landscape. If
time and-or money are limit-
ed, consider a minimum
maintenance type of design.
Remember, a simple but well
maintained lot is almost
always more useful and
attractive than a complex
arrangement which does not
receive proper maintenance.
.Secondly, inventory all the
features-good and bad--of

your lot. What existing trees
can -be used as part of the
design? Are there good vistas
you need to keep open and
unattractive views which
should be screened?' Will
utility areas need to be
hidden?. What type of soil do
you have and does it need to
be amended with organic
matter, fertilizer, etc. You
can think of many other
points to keep in, mind.
Next, inventory your
family activities, presently
and in the future. List all the
recreational and personal
needs of the entire family, so'
that as many of these as


possible, can be included and
realized in the development
of the landscape.
A final point to consider in
the initial planning is the
time it will take to complete
your plan. You don't have to
complete your design all' at
once. Have a plan which can
be done over a several year
period, then, as money and
rmre'-permits fit these sec-
" io'i into the total picture.
The next job is to put on
paper what your design will
be. This most important step
will be covered in next
week's article.

the only source of revenue

am of the opinion that the

which is closest to the people,
so I do not believe that we
should allow our schools and
roads to be completely fund-

ment business in a "town
meeting." It is the most
democratic form of all, but in
practice it is an extremely"
cumbersome way to operate.
Experience has shown that
more progress can be made
by conducting the affairs of
government through elected
representatives, such as our
school boards and county
commissioner.
There are a lot of problems
and a lot of confusion exists
in the property tax area just
now.
I do not think that Rep.
Mixson's proposals, .however,
really deal with the problems
nor alleviate the confusion.

Road Danger


Ater ARain,


TALLAHASSEE-The first
few minutes of Florida's fre-
quent ',showers creates an
"invisible danger" and
increases driving hazards the
Florida Highway Patrol said
today.
Colonel. Eldrige Beach,
director of the Patrol said,
"The first few minutes of
rain showers are the most
hazardous for driving. It is
during this period that, the
grease, rubber and oil com-
bine with water to create an
'invisible danger.' You should
immediately reduce your
speed and double your follow-
ing distances when the rain
begins."

The friend had been chris-

him Swabbie as he had

called him Radio so you can
draw your own conclusions..

The boys were supposed to
build a fire with two matches
as quick as they could. I,
never did know exactly how
it happened, but Clarence
Jackson won that contest
beyond the shadow of a rea-
sonable doubt. He had an old
oil can filled with oily rags
and me and Swabbie swiped
a little high test gas and told
Clarence it was kerosene. He
struck a match to it to see if
it would, burn and that was
the damndest explosion
since the ammunition dumps
blew up on Tinian.

The Scoutmaster gave him
hell, so me and Austin had to
confess. They kept us in jail

water during first moments
of a shower making a very
slick and dangerous road sur-
face. "As the rain continues,
this build-up is washed off the
road and actually becomes
safer in respect to the degree
of slipperiness," said Beach.
Beach concluded, "Last
year one out of five of the
state's accidents occurred on
slippery highways. This sta-
tistic alone should indicate
that driving in the rain is
hazardous and should be
incentive enough for motor-
ists to take additional safety
precautions when the rain

He came back in about 30

We were broke so we went

Killer K.


One of the big mysteries of the Southeast
over the past years has been to find out what
or who was making outsized footprints in the
North Georgia-Tennessee area. The people who
live there had labeled the owner of the
overgrown appendage "Bigfoot".
It seems "Bigfoot's" occupation is leaving
footprints all over the place for people to find
and wonder about.
I've only read about "Bigfoot"- and the
figments of imagination used to ascertain what
kind of creature this "Bigfoot" was. Recently, I
saw a picture of "Bigfoot's" footprint in the
paper and, now I can offer a solution to who
"Bigfoot" is.
"Bigfoot" is my son Willie, the operator of
the press that prints your Star each and every
week. For proof, see the picture above which
shows "Bigfoot's" foot, shod in a pair of
sneakers.
I can explain the bare- prints found, also.
Ever since he was old enough to walk, Willie
has shunned shoes, evtn in the fr:t:,,zing
we-'ther His foot is so big he finds it.hard lo
-fiind comfortable pair' of hard shoes to wear.
So he goes barefoot or else wears a pair of
sneakers most of the time.
I'm glad I could solve this mystery and let
these people trying to unravel the mystery of
"Bigfoot" go on to other pursuits.

I read where the exhorcists, the new "in"
fad today, have come up with the revelation
that insanity and disturbances of the mind are
the presence of the devil in a person.
No kidding!
It seems I read that same thing several
years ago. In this story I read, some "cat"
named Jesus along and told those devils to go
dwell in a herd of swine instead of disturbing
the tranquility of the man they were bugging.
Learn something new every day!

I see where the price of beef is climbing.
So what else is new?
It has some good company. So is the price
climbing on bread, beans, rice, gas, electricity,
pork, chicken, clothing, paper, steel, automo-
biles, candy bars, soft drinks, hard drinks,
sugar, and, you name it.
It would be a cruel world indeed, if beef
alone was standing still in price.

Tennessee flirted for a while with making it
illegal to hunt coons, the state animal. A coon
to a Tennessee Hillbilly is a necessary thing
just as it was to their ancestor, Daniell Boone.
One Tennessee lawmaker has moved to
once again make the coon fair game for
hunting, declaring, "Watergate, fudge! You
don't know what political trouble is until you
try to outlaw coon hunting in Tennessee!"
I would imagine it would run a close second
to girl watching.

Rep. Georgia B. Peters of Salt Lake City,
Utah has introduced what she sees as some of
the most important legislation to this nation-
the banning of public pay toilets.
She says she is serious in her endeavor
since everyone doesn't have a dime when the
need arises and only a pay toilet is readily
available. The practice of requiring a dime for
use of a toilet in some public establishments
also invades the rights of some. "Not everyone
is small enough to crawl under the door", she
explains.
I hope the lady is successful in her fight in
this matter. If I ever get caught in the position
of needing a pay toilet and the nearest dime is
in the cash register of the establishment being
visited, I hope the door either has a flimsy lock
or there are some understanding people
around.

OLD-FASHIONED FRUIT DESSERT FOR MODERNS
Cobblers are a tradition-
al American dessert similar
to a deep-dish fruit pie. ,
Instead of the pastry crust,
however, cobblers are usu-
ally topped by a rich bis-
cuit dough.
S The, origin of the word 4
:cobbler is unknown, but it '
may have come from the V
expression to "cobble up,"
that is, to put together
quickly, since these desserts
are easy to make. Cobblers -
can be made with any num-
ber of fruits, but Cherry u
Cobbler is a particular
favorite.
.This easy modern-day
version of Cherry Cobbler '
starts with canned red sour
pitted cherries, the syrup
from which is thickened
aniid flavored with -almond.
Topped with drop biscuits
made with skim milk and
Fleischmann's Corn Oil Mar-
garine, this recipe is suitable
for lo*-saturated fat menus.
Although niost vegetable oils "
are beneficial in a low-satu- .
rated fat diet, scientific .. "
studies over a ten year period .
show that none is more ef- :
fective than corn oil in low- VC
ring blood cholesterol. .Designed for low-saturated-fat diets is this Cherry Cobbler.

Learn How to BIBLE
Decorate Cakes


Gulf Coast Community Col-
lege will be bringing Gulf
County residents one of its
most popular non-credit short
courses in the coming week,

Beginning cake decorating

Port St. Joe High School.
"A tuition fee of $12 will be

approximately $11 for sup-
plies, however, these supplies
may be used in advanced'

I IX ^ I I It

To believe only salvation is
not enough! There are
preachers that are telling
their congregations to accept
the Lord as their personal
Saviour and everything is all
right. Some would even go as
far as to say all you have to
do is come to the altar and
except the right hand of faith.
Don't be deceived. The
Bible says to search out your
own salvation with fear and
trembling. Some of the pro-
moters of this doctrine that
sells the full truth of Gods
word short quote Acts 16:31
as full salvation. They fail to
read vs. 33 which says that
they went out the same night
and was baptized.
Some would say that bap-
tism is just an outward show-
ing that you believe and has
no bearing on salvation. Mk.
16:16 tells us that He that
believeth and is baptized
shall be saved; but he that
believeth not shall be


damned.
John 3:5 says except a man
is born of water and spirit he
cannot enter the kingdom of
God. Luke 7:30 says but the
Pharisees and lawyers reject-
ed the counsel of God against
themselves, being not bap-
tized of him. Gal. 3:27 says
For as many of you as have
been baptized into Christ
have put on Christ. 1, Peter
3:21 states The like figure
whereunto even baptism doth
also now save us.
Romans 6:4 Therefore we
are buried with him by bap-
tism into death. Baptism is
for the remissin of sins. Mk.
1:4 Lk. 1:76 and 77 Luke 3:3
Acts 2:38 and Acts 22:16. The
full truth of Gods word is
baptized every one of you in
the name of Jesus Christ for
the remission of sins, and ye
shall receive the gift of the
Holy Ghost." Salvation is still
found the same way that it
was found on the Day of
Pentecost.

Berlinger told the Rotar-

taking simple steps to dis-
courage thieves. Berlinger

elimination of shadows inside
the building and precaution

Funeral Services Held for Mrs. Mary M. Weeks


Corn Meal Fried Chicken
Corn Ma e C


Funeral services for Mrs.
Mary Middleton-Weeks were
held Friday afternoon Jan-
uary 18, at 2:00 p.m., in the
Highland View United Metho-
S dist Church by Rev. James
Morris and Rev. John Harvey
Klein in charge of the devo-
tional service. Mrs. J. D.
Jamison sang "Sweet Peace,
The Gift of God's Love,"
accompanied at the piano by
sister Rebekah, Mrs.
S Emmett Daniell.
*' Mrs. Weeks, 76, was a
". charter member of Highland
View Methodist Church and


Melody Rebekah Lodge; both
in which she held responsible
official positions since their
organizations, in addition to
teaching the adult Sunday
school class until the past
year. Although she had given
up teaching and reading, she
attended all church services
until she was stricken ill.
Mary Weeks was the oldest
,of four children of Frank
Middleton and Shirley Jen-
kins Middleton of Larue
County, Kentucky. She
attended Larue County
schools and went on to gradu-


ate from the University of
Cincinnati. For a number of
years, she taught school in
Covington, Kentucky and
during that time she was
elected State President of the
Business and Professional
Women's Club for one year.
Her desire to travel was
fulfilled during the late
1930's, when, with a group of
her friends went on an auto-
mobile tour through practi-
cally all the states. They
finally ended their journey in
Tampa, where she and Wil-
liam Howell Weeks met and


on March 17, 1941, were mar-
ried in Perry.
After looking over several
prospective sites to settle and
start business, they chose
Highland View. and by the
latter part of June, had erect-
ed and stocked a two-story
general merchandise store.
Mrs. Weeks was .later
appointed postmistress; a
position she held for many
years. She was loved and
held in high esteem by every-
one who was priviledged to
know her. Her philosophy
was "love; mercy and grace"


and her aim in life was to
serve and help others.
Mrs. Weeks is survived by
one sister, Mrs. Curtis Spen-
cer of Hodgenville, Ky: two
neices. Mrs. Rosemarie Guy
of Hodgenville: Mrs. Hubert
Gregory of Glascow. Ky; one
nephew, Earl Middleton of
New Orleans. La: step-
daughter, Mrs. Merle
MacArthur of New Orleans
and a step-son, Bruce Weeks
of Chattahoochee.

Must Be

More

Alert

TALLAHASSEE Pedes-
trians must increase their
alertness, even with the
reduced maximum speed
limit for motor vehicles,
before the extremely high
fatality rate is to be reduced
said the Florida Highway
Patrol today.
Patrol director Colonel
Eldrige Beach said, "With
550 pedestrians being killed
in 1973, which is an increase
of 17 percent over 1972,
everyone, both drivers and
pedestrians must do their
part to help stop these need-
less deaths."
Accident records indicate.
that the pedestrian, by far, is
usually at fault; however,
drivers can help by reducing
speed and keeping a sharp
lookout in congested areas.
About half of the pedestrians
killed in 1973 were in urban
areas and most were killed
while crossing without the
benefit of a traffic control
device' or stepping into the
roadway.
Colonel Beach concluded by
saying, "While records for
the first two weeks of 1974
indicate a substantial
decrease in traffic fatalities,
including pedestrian deaths,
pedestrians can increase
their margin of safety by
walking off the roadway,
crossing at .crosswalks, and
at night wear white or reflec-
torized" clothing and carry a
light."


A Day In History
Feb. 2 is a very function-
al date.
It's Ground-Hog Day and
Candlemas Day, and the two
may be linked, says World
Book Encyclopedia.
As for the ground hog,
that's the day when the
lurry critter sticks his head
out of his hole, and if he
sees his shadow, goes back
inside to wait out six more


weeks of winter weather.
If it's cloudy and he sees
no shadow, spring is on its
way--or so it's believed.
In the Roman Catholic
Church, it's the day on which
candles are blessed to mark
, the purification of the Virgin
Mary, mother of Christ.
The Virgin, in accord-
ance with the Jewish cus-
tom, went to the synagogue
to be purified on the 40th
day after giving birth. To-
day, to commemorate that
event candles blessed by the
Pope or a priest are given to
the poor, symbolizing the
words of Simon to Mary
that Jesus would be "a light
to lighten the Gentiles, and
the glory of thy people."
In ancient times there
were many pagan ceremo-
nies at this time of year,
says World Book, that in-
volved purification--after a
long winter. In fact, the
Latin word from which
"February" is derived means
"purification."
Ground-Hog Day comes
to the United States from
Great Britain and Germany,
where for some reason the
"ground hog" was a badger.
And just to make it of-
ficial, the state of Missouri
established Feb. 2 as Ground
Hog Day by legislation which
doesn't explain why all
America looks to Punxsu-
Lawney, Pa., to get the
ground hog's verdict.

W.. Royce Pitts and Bill
Phillips, representing the
State, Department of Trans-
portation, addressed the
Board about Senate Bill 367
and the authority it gives the
Department to delete roads
from the primary road '~ys-
tem. A map presentation
showed that all roads in Gulf
County would be deleted from
the primary system except
Highways 98 and 71. The
Board, and Attorney Rish,
- went on record ,as opposing
such action, as Highway 22,
between. Wewahitchka and
Panama City, and the Over-
street Road are both heavily
traveled by outsiders. more
than local people and the
Gulf County .taxpayers would
be hit with an unfair mainte-
nance burden.
Charles Dunn, State
Department of Transporta-
tion, reported to the Board
that a, new five-year second-
ary road program is needed
for the March meeting in
Apalachicola. He ,said that
sne .worki('bad be"doponQ'.
( te li..t 30 pioidies of last

ed the Board consider paving

sky high. Comm. Davis sug-
gested that City Commission-
ers be present when the
Board has a road priority
meeting. i
Dunn also reported that
Bridges 14 and 17, Money
Bayou and Simmons Bayou,

able. The Attorney remarked
that Mr. Lee, District Engi-
neer, had faithfully promised
him this project would be let.

tion is on file in the County

The Clerk told the Board
that he had the bid specifica-
tions for the air conditioning
at the Health Center. He
added the architect had

Davis agreed to check into
the matter and get the notice
for bids into the paper as
soon as possible.

The Clerk reported that the
state contract price on the
two radios ordered at the last
meeting had increased from

.approved the purchase since
these radios were still half as
expensive as any other com-
parable radios ,available to
the Board.

bers to the Planning Commis-
sion for Gulf County: Max

The Board refused to grant
the monthly lease requested
instead of the usual' yearly
lease.
The Clerk reported that the
Ben Barnes family is request-
ing a Quit-Claim Deed from

suggested Mr. Barnes pre-
sent a legal history of the
property and the Board
would then make a decision
on the deed.

merce requesting the Board

Enroll for



Medicare


January 1 through March
31 is an important period for
many persons in this area,
Robert Latta, Social Security
representative for Gulf
County, said today.
The first three months of
the -year are known as the
General Enrollment Period
for the medical insurance
plan (Part B) of Medicare.
Most persons apply for medi-
cal insurance during their
initial enrollment period,
since there is a slight
increase in premiums at later
dates. Your initial enrollment
period consists of seven
months-the month you
become 65, three months


before and three months
after.
Medicare Part. B is the
supplemental insurance com-
monly referred to as the
"doctor" part of Medicare
because it helps pay doctor
bills and medical services.
Sometimes, for various rea-
sons, a person will neglect to
apply for Medicare Part B
during his initial.enrollment
period, Latta said. When this
occurs, the social security
law provides for general
enrollment periods during the
first three months of each
year.
Anyone wishing to enroll
should get in touch with the
social security office.

saving their big guns for the
Conference Tournament this
week end when they went
into last week's scheduled
play. They lost to Marianna,
Mosley of Panama City and
defeated perenially hapless
Apalachicola by only 11
points.
The Dogs nor the Dolphins
ran over the Sharks. Last
Friday night, the Bulldogs of
Marianna, tough this year,
edged out a 60-57 victory on
their home grounds.
. It was all even during the
first period with the Sharks
taking a three point lead at
half time. Again, the two
teams scored evenly in the
third period, then the Dogs
came up with a six point
bulge in the final period to
take the victory.

found the scoring range the

ment of English to compete

regard to the .effect his ac-.

: If you have, likely you will
agree that he stalked out on
you when you disagreed with
him, or else he banged down
the telephone with a dramatic
claim to the effect that, "I
love wildlife and the outdoors
as much as you do."


I have my full share of
such confrontations and tele-
phone calls by petions con-
testing the sound manage-
ment, conservation and en-.
vironmental safeguards
espoused by the Game and
Fresh Water Fish Commission
for the protection and man-
agement of our lands, water,
and fish and wildlife. Too
often, the unresolved dis-
cussions end with that ex-
plosive outburst about
"loving wildlife arid the out-
doors as much as you do."
It might be well here to
get this empty-sounding asser-
tion out in the open and
examine it r._. :*. more
particularly since some well-
meaning folks also are tossing
it around, mistakenly.
At the risk of sounding.

preachy, I confess to having a
hangup about this word
"love." I go all the way with
love of country, love for the
family and, the like. But I
raise an eyebrow at in-
dividuals who, by merely first.
avowing their "love of wild-
life and the outdoors",
appear to believe that they
have a license to do as they
please, even though their
planned action would destroy
the very thing they profess to
"love."
*Trouble is, too few people
look either for the fallacy of
the statement, or else the
error of those who are mis-
guided or ill-advised in the,
matter.
Hopefully, to contribute
constructively to our mass
thinking, I offer my defini-
tion of "love", making the
key word "concern." I've,
applied it in many facets of


out properly weighing these
values; when one's hunting
style disregards seasons, the
rearing time of young wild-
life, or the rights of others to
use and enjoy the outdoors
equally in their favored way.
4To continue would be-
come tiresome. The gist of
this whole matter is that


my personal. life and, among
other discoveries, found these
to be true:
That my love for, pride in,
and respect for my country is
matched by a "concern" and
dedication to preserve its
freedoms, bounty, happiness
and opportunities.
That, along with my affec-
tion for my wife and chil-
dren, I have a "concern" for
their health and welfare, and
for their security in the
future.
That I can even live with
the "love your enemies" bit,
since (if I have an enemy) I
am- :.'- "concerned"
that he and I may yet see
eye-to-eye.
When an individual would
pollute, misuse, destroy, and
undeservedly commercialize
habitat in which wildlife
exists and reproduces itself, I
will openly challenge his

to "love", or else their

ability long ago with true

claim of "loving wildlife and

have my brand of "concern:
about these things."
Facts prove that nature
lavishly produces wildlife un-
der favorable conditions.
When touted "animal lovers"'

surplus wildlife (no faster
than it is able to reproduce
itself), I will challenge either

IN MEMORIAL
In memory of the late
Lugie Spann who died one
year ago when God saw fit to
call away the one we love.
The blow was sudden, the
shock severe to lose the one
we loved so dear. You are
sadly missed by your wife,
Mrs. Mattie Spann and chil-
dren, sister, nieces, nephews
and friends.
