Car Wash Set for Saturday The Highland View Metho- dist Church is sponsoring a car wash to be held Saturday, Feb. 9, beginning at 9:30 a.m. on the lot next to the St. Joe Auto Parts on First St. Proceeds from the car wash will be used in repair- ing the church building. The price is $2.00 per car. Second Street Sic Not Justified Say The City of Port St. Joe was told by the Department of Transportation this week that a signal -light at the intersection of Second Street and Highway 98 is not justi- fied and the City has no permission to place the signal light in this location. -The matter was originated recently when a truck hit the present light, damaging it. The City learned of a delay in securing a- new light and asked the DOT for the loan of a signal until a new one could be obtained. The DOT then made a count of the intersec- tion, resulting in the com- munication. The City still plans to re- place the light as soon as one can be obtained. The Commission agreed Tuesday to replace the roof on the grandstand at .the baseball stadium, Transfer of the Gulf Ca- blevision ownership to pros- pective purchaser R. H. Four run-away Kansas teen agers were caught in Port- St. Joe Friday morning by Pa- trolman James McGee in two stolen cars. McGee spotted the two cars .at Tomlinson's Gulf .Service- and when he attempted to make the arrest, the boys took off in opposite direc- tions. McGee caught one of the cars near the Municipal Hospital. In the meantime, the other car, with two of the boys inside, turned around at Highland View and came back toward Port St. Joe to check on their buddies. Mc- Gee stopped the other car on its way back to town. The four had stolen a 1965 sedan in Kansas and a 1973 compact in Mobile, Ala. They still had possession of both autos. According to Officer McGee, they had left a trial of thefts through five states. McGee said both cars con- tained stolen articles. All four boys had run away from home. The three 16-year-olds and the 15-year-old boy were turned over to the Juvenile sion of Youth Services in Panama City.' Gospel Sing at Dalkeith The Dalke)th Baptist Church is sponsoring a gospel sing Saturday, Feb. 9 at 7 p.m. The featured group will be The Waylighters Quartet of Samson, Ala. Rev. Tommy White, pas- .tor of the church, cordially invites everyone to come and hear Christ proclaimed through song." Tie Dalkeith Church is coated in the Dalkeith Com- munity on Rt. 1, Hwy 381, Wewahitchka. ;nal Is s DOT Newman was approved after proof of financial responsi- bility was furnished. The Board considered the application of Paul Ramsey to become Administrator of the Municipal Hospital. Bids were received on a new police car; a boat for testing sewage outfall in the Gulf County Canal and ma- terial for installing water in the Fifth Street median were received but were tabled for study before purchase orders are issued. both Wewahitchka High School and Port St. Joe High School. Proceeds from the sales will go to the respective art departments. The sewage really hit the fan over the City Commis- sion's dissatisfaction over the new. Wastewater Treatment Plant Tuesday night, when the Commission met with the engineers and the contractors to let it be known they wanted a working, depend- able plant before final pay- ment could be expected for the plant. The Engineers, Sverdrup and Parcel, admitted to sev- eral faulty designs and said they were now in the process of correcting the designs and making the necessary changes at the expense of the engineers. Dr. David B. Smith, rep- resenting the engineers, said work would start today to correct deficiencies in the huge 42 inch force main which carries material from the collection station to the treatment plant. This line has ruptured four times near the collection station in the start- up process. Commissioner George Wimberly expressed his fears the line was not strong enough where it was placed above ground. He noted the movement of the line while the plant was in operation and feared it would not prove substantial. He suggested more bracing. Dr. Smith said the line was made of steel where it was above ground and it was not uncommon for steel lines to haVe some movement. He declared the line was ade- quate. Both Wimberly and Mayor Pate pressed ,Dr. Smith for some kind of guarantee be- fore the City accepted the job that the line would perform. Smith replied his firm would stand back of the design through the statute of limi- tations which was for a per- iod of 10 years. Wimberly said, "I appre- ciate that, but we can't afford to have that line breaking in the midst of full-scale opera- tions. The Board also expressed their, displeasure at having to pay $18,000 for an operations manual for the plant, too, after they had been told the manual would cost no more than $13,000. Dr. Smith replied the firm had no experience in' pre- paring a manual of this size and missed their estimate. Dr. Smith also said the City needs to approach the St. Joe Paper Company about screening out bark and grit not designed for treatment in the plant. "This was in the original design", Smith said. Smith pointed out the only remaining problem was that of eroding dikes around the 80-acre settling basin. "We have made tests of this and the results should be in by the end of the week. CONTRACTOR Malcolm Moye, represent- ing Peabody-Petersen, the prime contractor, then re- quested the Board to pay them at least a portion of the half million dollars being held back and suggest a final price for the change orders in the job. City Attorney William J. Rish interjected at this point to say he wished to sbe the figures first, "since we're evidently going to court over this matter." Rish pointed out the contractor had en- tered suit against the City when the City was threaten- ing penalties for overtime on the job. "Evidently they want the court to set the final price and I want to see any en- gineering estimates of money owed before it goes to the contractor." Moye declared the firm was "Ninety-nine and 99- l00ths complete with the job and we should be paid at least a part of the hold-back funds." Rish said, "We're willing to sit down at any time and negotiate, but you have us in a position where we can't." With the project winding down, it appears the City will meet with the contractor and engineer almost daily now in an attempt to reach a final price owed by the City. "if we have to go to court, we're ready,, but if settlement can be arranged without legal process, we are ready for. that, too."

SPEAKER Guest speaker for the eve- ning was Bobby Hurst of Panama City, who has writ- ten and had published in the Florida Historian, a history Busy of the old St. Joseph Rail- road. Hurst showed old maps of the road and the City of St. Joseph. He said the railroad ran out into the Bay on a wharf which measured six feet by 150 feet in the vicinity of Madison Street in Oak Grove. Hurst is one of a group of students who located a set of wheels from one of the old locomotives several years ago in the Bay. The wheels are now standing in front of the Constitution Mu- seum. The speaker said the old road initially ran over what is now the Apalachicola Northern roadbed to Depot Creek where a terminal was located to take on cotton from river steamers sailing through Lake Wimico and up Year Depot Creek. He said some of the old depot is still there just up-stream from Odena Landing. Shallow water in Depot Creek made a change ne- , cessary and the road was extended to Iola Landing on the Apalachicola River. The road bed of Highway 71 was the original railroad bed to Wewahitchka. It then fol- lowed State Road 22 across the Dead Lakes and then Northeast to Iola Landing. Hurst said signs of the old road bed are still there. He showed aerial photographs which faintly show the route of the ancient railroad. At the conclusion of his talk, Hurst presented Society President Stone with a bound copy of his history of the old radmroad.

He and Tonto would ride off into the night to protect the people of the old West with their sih er bullets and on their trusty steeds Silver and Scout. The Lone Ranger doesn't ride the range any more, even though he might be needed in some places. The people just have to make out as best ihey can under their own power. We on Allen Memorial Way, however, can rest day and night, secure in the knowledge that we have our own "Lone Ranger". He doesn't ride Silver or any other four-footed steed. Instead, he sits astride a mini-bike and patrols the street'morning and night, provided it isn't too cold or raining. (The real Lone Ranger would go about his good deeds rain or shine). Our "Lone Ranger" is armed only with a back brace and in place of the familiar 10-gallon hat and white britches, braided shirt and fancy boots, he is clad in his pajamas and house slippers. * * Little to Fear Most of the "expert" talk one gets is from people who are offer- ing an opinion based on theory or from what a textbook says about a certain matter. We don't intend in the least to smear textbooks, but one has to realize the entire story can't be put into a textbook, .on any given matter. There are variables. Too, textbooks tend to teach us to get ready to learn rather, than cram- ming knowledge into our heads. Take 'the case of oil spills from offshore rigs and its desecration of the beaches. We read where one oil exploration outfit is getting ready to exercise its option on the off- shore sites West of Port St. Joe and in the Gulf of Mexico. There are { those still offering the "expert" opinion that we face danger to the tourist (money) ecology by offshore Drilling -gdoil production:;. ; Port-St. Joe stands to gt'Fthe lion's share of the revenue from such drilling, since the local port has been designated as the most likely site for the onshore support Areass, This will mean, a consider- able amount to Port St. Joe and Gulf County. But the question still nags the environmentalists of what danger lurks in the wings for our small but valuable tourist trade through possible oil spills. Straight. from the horses' mouth we leArn that- w~have little to fear from this avenue. The "horse" in this instance is Chief King out at the Coast Guard sta- tion. Chief King spoke to the Rotary Club recently and told'the story of the Coast Guard. During a question and answer period it' was learned he was last stationed in Louisiana in the offshore oil field area. The question was posed to him, "Is the danger from offshore oil drilling and operations as real as we have been led to believe by'some." Chief King responded, "I know of only one oil spill while I was In Louisiana and the oil company came in immediately and cleaned up the beach in short order, leaving it in much better condition than it was before the spill." King went on to say, "With controls required on wells today, there is no reason to 'A av'ran oilt spill. Some of the older,,wells still don't have the controls on them and this is one of the wells which had the spill I referred to." So, you see, we can listen to the theory of the environmentalists, and their fear is our. fear. We do not want the beaches to become ruined by oil. But, taking into consideration safeguas required and the economic boost oil produc- tion could have on our area, we see no reason to do anything but welcome the new jobs, with open arms. Making Problems Senator Henry Jackson is de- pending on the continuation of the oil crisis and the ignorance of the American people to snare the De- mocratic nomination for President in 1976 it seems. Jackson is playing on the oil theme hot and heavy these days with no signs of letting up, apparently trying to recruit followers to his cause. The Senator doesn't tell us what he would do to cure the situation, which is what we 'are all interested in. Jackson and his men point to the "huge profits" of the oil com- panies as being something nasty or un-American. He points to the companies making up to 50 percent more profit than they made last year-some even up to 75 and 100 percent. All of these figures are given to' us in such a manner as to try and make us believe the firms are making profits of 50 to 75 percent. All one has to do is look at the LETTER To The Edito Greg Herring Gen. Del. Overstreet, Fla. 32453 Wesley Ramsey, Editor Dear Mr. Rams( The Presiden switching back Savings Time v figures showing profits of two, three or even five percent, then add the publicized profits of this year and we come up with profits of something like five to seven per- cent. Most banks and savings and loan houses are paying more inter- est than that these days, We don't like the high prices being charged for oil and gasoline, nor do we particularly relish the predictions of higher1,,prices yet to come. Yet it is not a secret that part of the oil problems we are experiencing is due to' inadequate profits which encourage expansion and exploration for more petro- leum. We like even less, politicians keeping our economy in a turmoil by failing to do what is necessary to cure our problems merely be- cause it is expedient to their election plans or pique against the President to do nothing. energy. Well' I just don't SS ^ agree. First, people will be getting up as early or as late, and using energy. Second, people who go to work will use as much energy as r before, at work and home, Finally, chalgifig back won't save money on gas in cars,., Being an energy consumer I. ey, feel that I am qualified to it says that write this letter. to Daylight Very truly yours, vill conserve Grog Herring - TM Five or six years ago I had a half finished twelve foot bateau on two saw horses in the back yard.

I had just calculated that the square root of four was 1.999 when Little Nort walked up. He listened respectfully. When Igot through explain- ing my problem, he said, "Daddy, you move back a little and I'll see what I can do." He picked up the boat and swung it around and care- fully set it back on the saw horses and smiled at me. I said, "Here son, take bot of these. I don't need there right now." He accepted the rule bu nokt, he scotch and told me t relax but not too much, which was pretty good advice. They called us in to suppe about. then and that endei that. Science sure is wonderful! -KILLER K He rides the street night, while everyone inside, keeping the bad faithfully morning and else is safely tucked 'uns at bay. We, the residents of Allen Memorial Way wish to thank Dave May for this service. You see, our "Lone Ranger" isn'f shy about his identity, he leaves off his mask. The day he leaves off his pajamas we're going to start referring to him as our answer to Lady Godiva. A good example of the large metropolitan press managing the news was brought home to us in black and white last week. We no longer have to rely on generalities or the word of others. We have seen it personally and from a source we never expected to. Brother Will came a visiting Saturday from up Chattahoochee way. He had with him a copy of the "Christian Science Monitor" with a piece of managed news on the front page. There on the top of the page was a picture of a crowd taken in Quincy with Will and "Hutch" Hutchinson, editor of the Gadsden County "Times" in Quincy along with several other people looking all somber and concerned. The ,icapjto under4the p rtp~i4lude,to th, serious attitude, of theipeople-,over the actions of our President, Richard Nixon. Will said the picture was taken two years ago when Henry "Scoop" Jackson made a stop in Quincy on his fruitless search for the Democratic nomination for the Presidency. Shadows in the picture suggest the "somber- ness" of expression was caused by the sun shining in their faces. We never expected such from the "Mon- itor". The groundhog in Punxsutawney, Pa., saw his shadow Sunday, and, lo and behold, winter struck Sunday night here in the Panhandle of Florida. It was a marvel to me how we were experiencing beautiful spring days; the red buds were budding, the azaleas beginning to put out blooms and the trees and shrubs beginning to bud out with the warm balmy days we have been having. Now, along comes this little beast and sees his shadow and winter descends. How do you account for that? The Groundhog Club of Punxautawney say the little animal doesn't make mistakes about these things, but with the weather we have been experiencing, I would have put my money on his being wrong this time. But, he wasn't. President Nixon said in his State of the Union address last Wednesday night that one year of Watergate was enough. We don't agree with him. I think a year of Watergate is too much. There are those who marveled that the President would even show up before a hostile Congress for his address looking so chipper and appearing ready to fight for his programs. A President has no business being afraid of a hostile Congress. We admire the President for sticking to his job and charging Congress to get to work. I second the motion. Wes Thompson, down at Florida Power h says we are going to feel the fuel crisis in our n pocketbooks this year. Word he has received t from St. Petersburg says our power bills will o be about twice what they were last year, solely h from the increase in oil prices charged the firm by Venezuela. d It looks like the luxury of staying cool this summer is going to make us hot under the collar about the first of every month.

High School Wants Substitute Teachers Anyone interested in substi- tute teaching should notify Principal Ken Herring at Port St. Joe High. School. Substitutes should have at "Idht two' eas''of college. Honor Band Students Students from Port St. Joe High School will participate in a District Honor Band this year. Students participating are: Jan Hammock, flute; Bill Wall, oboe; Janet Sutton, bassoon; Sandra Tootle, Eb clarinet;-'Sarah Roberts, Eb clarinet; Carol Barton, Bb clarinet; Sandy Ward, bass clarinet; Donna Richards, Eb alto saxophone; Scotty White, trombone; and Mark Lam- berson, tuba. The District Honor Band is the answer to the dilemma of how to provide an all-state type band experience for stu- dents from smaller schools. These students don't usually have the advantage of pri- vate instruction and larger band experiences; and, there- fore, have difficulty qualify- ing for the All-State Bands. The District Honor Band fills this void for the better players from the smaller schools. This band is com- posed of students from Class "C" thru Class "B" bands who have been recommended for participation by their directors. Final selection of the Honor Band is based upon honors earned and director rankings. This year the Band is using the facilities of Florida A & M University, with Dr. Fes- tdr and his staff serving as hosts. Clinician for the band will be Earl Paluzzi, educa- tional representative for .the LeBlanc Corporation. Last year, Art's Music Shop in Dothan, Ala. provided the services of Lucine Calliet, reknowed composer-arranger as Director of Honor Band. The schools participating this year are Marianna, Tay- lor County High, Shanks High, Wakulla High, Port St. Joe High, Chipley High, Graceville High, Sneads High, Chattahoochee High, Florida High, Carter-Parra- more High, Vernon High, FAMU High, Madison High and Wewahitchka High. .11 0, Men's and Young Men's SoDRESS SLAC KS II .i and BAGGIES II25% off 'I i Fancies and solids, 29 .l thru 44 waist. uCv Ban Lon or Orion Stretch SOCKS 69c pr.

Star photo Sheriff's Auxiliary Finish 80 hr. The 17 member Gulf Coun- ty Sheriff's Auxiliary recent- ly completed their 80 hour training course, reports ,Sheriff Raymond Lawrence. The Sheriff has nothing but praise for the volunteer force, which has served in many capacities since its inception in early 1973. Among the tasks which the Auxiliarymen have served have been to assist the Deputies in acting as a second man in the patrol car, traffic control at automobile accident scenes, and patrol of the outlying areas of the County such as fish camps; to assist in acting as a deterrent to the break-ins which plague these areas. Another project taken on by the members of the Aux- iliary was acting as a secur- ity force during the Gulf County Crusade for Christ, which was recently held at Port St. Joe High School. "A Course team of men showed up each night, spending valuable time and effort, at the expense of their family time. This sin- cere sacrifice on the part of each and every man through- :out the year, has made the men a united and dedicated team who are more than willing to help when they are needed," said Sheriff Law- rence, ..."just short of 2,000 man hours have been volun- teered since the Auxiliary was formed." The 80 hour training course is required by the Florida Police Standards Board in Tallahassee. Coursework includes First Aid, traffic control, juvenile procedures, arrest procedures and other phases of the law enforce- ment task. "It is very similar to the 280 hour training required of all deputies, but compacted into a -shorter time period", stated Sheriff Lawrence. An Open Letter to Parents of 'School Age Children: Do you know the name of your child's teacher? If so, do you know the follow- ing facts about that teacher? 1. He is a 'day laborer.' He is paid for .180 ,days with students and 20 additional planning days. Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter and Labor Day are not paid holidays. Neither is summer a paid vacation. Those three months are in reality an "automatic lay-off." Is there any other group of workers which does not receive money for these National holidays. 2. The average beginning teacher's salary in Florida is $6806 after four years of college preparation. He must prove his teaching profi- ciency by taking an examina- tion in his teaching field. 3. After 15 years of employ- ment, the teacher might receive the top state salary of $12,420 paid in Dade County. No further increase in salary is given unless he returns to college for a higher degree. 4. In many counties he must pay for his own medical insurance. In most counties, he receives ten days of sick leave each year. These are cumulative; however, if there is an extended illness, the cost must be borne by his .,rs.nadii. acquired hospital and medical insurance. 5. Likewise, he has no income protection insurance, unless he has invested in such with his' own money. 6. Every few years he must take college courses to main- tain his certificate, some- times paid by the school sys- tem, but in the majority of cases, out of his own funds 7. No lunch hour is prf vided. The teacher eats with his students. 8. He receives no cost-of- living esclations clause in his contract, although school L U Lt. Pate Promoted Frank Wayne Pate, son of Mayor and Mrs. Frank Pate of Port St. Joe, has been pro- moted to First Lieutenant in the United States Air Force. Commissioned through Offi- cer's Training School at Lackland AFB. Texas, Lt. Pate was stationed at Mather AFB, Calif., before returning to the Air Defense Weapons Center at Tyndall in Septem- ber 1972. He is presently serving with the Tactical Air Com- mand Control Squadron at Nakom Phanom. Thailand as a weapons controller. His wife, Jae, resides in Panama City where she expects to finish Gulf Coast Community College this sum- mer. Their daughter, Mere- dith Anne, age 3'1, is a student at "Choo Choo Col- lege", a pre-kindergarten program sponsored by the Campus. Lt. Pate is a graduate of Port St. Joe High School and holds a B.S. degree in Anthro- pology from Florida State University. His return to the United States is expected in November 1974. t r boards like to call the meager yearly salary incre- ments '"cost-of-living"'' increases. 9. He usually carries a bul- ging briefcase of "home- work" when he departs each afternoon, plus a bulging brain of "worries." 10. When he retires at age 65. his average income will be $300 per month from the State Retirement Fund. 11. He is a substitute mother or father nine months a year, five days a week, eight hours a day, with lunch Florida is producing onl half the wood it is capable c producing on its commercial forestlands. This may not seem like serious charge unless yo think of all of our present wood needs and shortages In the coming year, th Division of Forestry, Florid Florida Is Producing Wood at V2 Speed by Ralph J. Edenfield FLORIDA 'DEPARTMENT of AGRICULTURE and CONSUMER SERVICES Y Department of Agriculture )f and Consumer Services. l notes that construction will be off 20 percent. a "And yet, even with the u nation's energy problems, it there will be little reduction s. in the demand for wood here, e as compared with the rest of a the nation," says John N. Bethea, Director of the Divi- sion of Forestry. Florida, he thinks, can'look for a swing upward in con- dominium and apartment building and a slowing down of single unit housing pro- jects. During 1972, 167,000 single family dwellings were built in Florida, according to the Florida Homebuilder's Asso- ciation. Another 42,500 multi-family unit dwellings were begun. The wood used in these building endeavors consumed 1.4 billion board feet of lum- ber. In the average home, this meant 7,000 board feet of lumber, another 200 square feet of decorative panelling, 12 doors and 3 squares of wood shingles. In 1971, the furniture indus- try in Florida utilized 47.4 million board feet of southern hardwoods, plus 13.9 million board feet of southern pine. "All of this 'wood hunger' does not include modular and mobile home construction, treated poles and pilings, ply- wood and miscellaneous wood products....from Southern woods," said Ralph Mona- han. Forest Products Spec- ialist with the Division of Forestry. "Although more Southern wood for housing could be grown here, we pre- sently rely on Western and tropical woods to fill the breach." In 1972, Southern forests produced approximately 67 percent of the nation's pulp- wood supply. .As the USDA points out, the South is also the main source of European high-quality kraft paper and liner board. Resource Specialist for the Division of Forestry.- "Paper mills there can operate with lower-cost labor and lower taxes," he says, "It is being reflected to the American consumer in the form of paper products shortages." A wood famine? Today, almost one-half of our state is forested with land classified as commerical forest. But this land is either poorly stocked (except for federal, state and forestry industry lands). That in small, private holdings is only producing .2 cord per acre on the average -exactly half its capability. Tomorrow, a lot of the timber acreage will have been swallowed up in urban development, roads and agri- cultural uses. But at present management levels, even our present acreage would not supply the needs of Flori- dians in the year 2000. A gloomy picture? What is to be done to prevent a future deficit for Florida? Look for the following efforts to be the new theme of forestry\ in Florida in the 70's: Saller, but better managed woodlands (in 15 years, almost all forest indus- tries' woodlands will be stocked with superior trees): hardwood emphasis (142 per- cent increase in hardwood harvested): less tree waste both in logging and in mill use.: furniture designs veer- ing away from ornate Medi- terrean and Spanish back to simple Scandinavian lines; more incentives for farmers and private businessmen to grow well-managed forests.

Frye, Jr Director os rI GAME AND FRESH WATER FISH COMMISSION TALLAHASSEE-A few days ago; a simple ceremony wag held in the Commission Auditorium in Tallahassee. This ceremony, celebrated an- nually, was the occasion of the swearing in of a new member of the Game and Fresh Water Fish Com- mission. In taking the oath, these men, private citizens and businessmen, pledge to minimize their own pleasure and recreation for the benefit of every other Florida sports- man. For five years, they are not only spokesmen, but 'more important, stewards of Florida's wildlife resources. Their guidance and leadership will determine whether your son or your grandson will enjoy the benefits of Flor- ida's natural resources. Theirs is a job of no little responsi- bility. It requires much time and much effort. It is a position of great responsi- bilities, high vulnerability to public sentiment, and of no material rewards. It is a job which pays in salary. .in fact, requires considerable financial sacrifice. Yet, 'the position is a re- warding one. Rewarding :n ways that are not easy to define, that cannot be held and examined, nor bartered. They are'in the satisfaction of knowing that they had a hand in preserving, or perhaps even bettering, a segment of Flor- ida's natural environment. It is in the sight of a youngster's first buck, or the small plaque from the Monroe Country Coon Club. It is in the quiet respect of the .wildlife pro- fessionals. In 1943, the first five Commissioners were sworn into office, Since then, appointments have been on a rotating basis, with one man's term expiring every year. In this manner, each member serves a five-year term, and at no one time is the board without a majority of ex- perienced members. Under this system, the Commission remains relative- ly free from political involve- ment. A given Governor will appoint four members to the board during his tenure, but he would not normally have a majority of the Commission until his third year.

A Commissioner can only be what the Conservationists of Florida want him to be. If they do not counsel with him, do not show him their problems, if they do not suggest possible solutions, if they do not get in- CARD OF THANKS Words are inadequate to describe my appreciation for the kindness and help shown me during my illness in the Municipal Hospital. God made it possible for me to have a very fine Dr. Wayne Hendrix arrd his able assistant, Mr. Holten. My heart felt thanks for the hospital staff, the able nurses and the beautiful flowers and cards. May God bless you all. Mrs. Ted Frary evolved .he cannot be effec- tive. If he is to lead, he must have guidance! It is not only his grandson's hunting which is in the balance. .it is yours as well! PAGE TEN Tomlin Completes Basic Private James L.
