County Must Make Drastic Waste Disposal Change


Gulf County must make some
drastic and probably expensive chan-
ges in its method of disposing of
garbage and other solid wastes ac-
cording to Emmette Daniell, Super-
intendent of the County Mosquito
Control Department.
ONLY ONE APPROVED
Daniell, told the Board Tuesday
the Air and Water Pollution Control
Board has inspected the six land fill
sites now operated by the County and
have given their approval of only one
for continued use. Daniell said John
Williams of the Gulf Breeze office of
the Air and Water Pollution Control
department was in the County last
week making an inspection tour of the
land fill operation and said five of the
six must be shut down 'or some
extensive renovations made. The only
land fill area acceptable by the
Pollution Control people is the one in
the Honeyville area.


Daniell told the Board Williams
said the land fill operation was
conducted in the proper manner and
congratulated the County on its pro-
gram, but the water table is too high
in most of the Couwrty for the land fill
operations to meet state guidelines.
NEW GUIDELINES
Daniell pointed out that new state
guidelines called for burying garbage
and solid wastes at least five feet
above the surface water line. Of
course, the surface water line in most
of Gulf County isn't even five feet
underground.
The only way the County can
continue to operate all of its land fill
sites is to install extensive de-water-
ing operations at the sites or bury on
top of the ground and haul in dirt for
covering up the debris.
HAVE TIME
The County isn't faced with im-
mediate closure of the operations,


however, provided they begin making
plans immediately to come up with an
acceptable solution to the disposal
problem. If the County begins making
plans, the Pollution control people
will give Gulf County until 1976 to
phase out the present operations and
go into an acceptable operation. If
they do not begin making plans, the
Pollution Control people can come in
at any time and say, "Shut it down".
"This would force us to haul all solid
waste to the Honeyville site to come
in compliance with the state law",
Daniell said.
The big problem is, the State
Pollution people don't want water
leaching through the garbage and
waste and going directly into the
ground surface water stream or into
creeks or streams. They want the
garbage buried where it will stay dry.
GOING TO COST
What the County will do about the


problem is uncertain, since very few
locations in the County afford land
high enough to meet state demands.
Presently, this leaves only the pump-
ing, burying on top of the ground,
incineration or hauling to the area
approved in the Honeyville vicinity.
"Either way we go, it is going to
cost thousands and thousands of dol-
lars to comply with the ruling, es-
pecially in the South end of the
County," Daniell said.
The Supervisor also pointed out
that the state wants daily coverage of
wastes. "We could probably do this,"
Daniell said, "But we will do little
else in our department if we give this
kind of service right now", he said.
SHOULD THINK AHEAD
Clerk George Core pointed out
that tracts of land were being sold in
Gulf County regularly now by devel-
opers. "Eventually someone is going
to develop these sites and this will


increase the garbage problem. We
should begin thinking now about
requiring developers to make provi-
sions for garbage in developing areas
or we will be in real trouble in the
future."
The Board has created a planning
committee to work with the North-
west Florida Development Council to
draw up a land use proposal in the
County and it was the thinking, on
first blush, to have the planning board
consider this problem in their delib-
erations, hoping this group could
come up with some area in the
County in which the present method
of garbage disposal would be accept-
able and handy.
Bay County recently had to close
all but one of its land fill operations
because of this same surface water
problem and the Gulf County Board
isn't eager to be forced into adopting
this same solution.


Two Sizeable Land



Deals Made In Gulf


Two large land sales were
consummated in Gulf County
during the. past few days
according to records in the
office of Clerk George Y.
Core.
The largest transaction was
for over a million dollars and
involved 1,200 acres South of
Port St. Joe. The property
......-i vedhstretches from Gau-
Stier Hammock to Dead
MIan's Curve.
Hiltoh .and Associates. of
Bay County sold the land to
Lawrence E. Cooper of At-
lanta, Ga., for $1,150,000.
Another transaction,' com-
pleted Tuesday, conveyed 301
acres in the Wewahitchka
area near the Dead Lakes
Dam to a Tallahassee group.
George G. Tapper sold 190
acres and the Gaskin bro-
thers sold an -adjoining 111
acres for an estimated $460,
000.
The property, including
what is known locally as
"The Nook",. was sold to a
Tallahassee group including,
Robert A. White, Donald W.
Carraway, E. T. Pridgeon,


Jr., David B. Wingate and
Coastal States Consultants,
Inc.

In a third transaction,
George G. Tapper gave an
option on eight acres in the
Ward Ridge area to Melvin


E: Sembler, Fred E. Be-
shara, Albert A. Dangler and
Nicholas Manos. No address
was given )in the official
records for the ,prospective
purchasers, but the agree-

Girl Scouts Selling Cookies


These Girl Scouts are
shown as they prepare to
begin their annual cookie
drive tomorrow, February 15.
"This annual cookie sale is


the most important single
project of the girls in the Girl
Scout Council of the Apala-
chee Bend," said Jack Shoe-
maker, president of the Coun-


cil that covers a 15 county
area.
The girls earn money for

Council, repair and purchase
of additional camping equip-
ment, and this year will be
used for the new Girl Scout
camp, "A Camp For All Sea-
sons", being constructed at
Lake Talquin.
This year the cookie boxes
are larger and contain more
cookies. The price has been
increased from 60 cents to $1
per box.'
"We are using the same
high-quality cookies and, and
has always been the case, the
Girl Scouts themselves will
conduct the drive. This sale
is important because it gives
these wonderful girls the
opportunity to learn self-
reliance, how to handle
money and to meet people in
a businesslike way with both
poise, courtesy and safety,"
Shoemaker said.
"This cookie sale has
always been well accepted by
the public because it is not a
hand-out program, and it is
intended to not only provide
support for a worthy pro-
gram but is also intended to
benefit our young people,"
Shoemaker said.
Each county has a coordin-
ator for the cookie sale. The
coordinator for Gulf County
is Mrs. Baynard Malone who
may be contacted at 227-5536.
Mrs. Jim Miller is another
local contact and may be
reached at 229-5967.


Commissioner Graham Offers



Plan for Bridge Across River


County Commissioner Wal-
ter Graham said Tuesday at
the regular meeting of the
Board he hated to drop a
bombshell right in the middle
of the meeting; but he had
what he considered a solution
to the continuing problem of
getting a bridge across the
Apalachicola River at the end
of State Road 22.
The County had tried for
years to get the State to
construct a bridge across the
River at this point and con-
tinue SR 22 on toward Tal-
lahassee. As Graham pointed


Post Office to
Close Monday

Postmaster Chauncey Cos-
tin announced this week that
the local post office would be
closed all day Monday, Feb.
18, 1974 in observance of
Washington's Birthday.
According to. Costin, the
morning receipt of mail will
be boxed for post office box
holders and there will be a
five o'clock dispatch of out-
going mail. The 'Postmaster
said that there would be no
window service on Monday,
nor would there be any city
carrier delivery or Star
Route box delivery.


out, every candidate for Gov-
ernor for years has promised
to build the bridge, but it still
isn't built. "Let's face it", he
said, "We will never get the
bridge built from primary
funds because there just isn't
enough primary money spent.
in this part of the state to
spare enough for the bridge".
TOLL BRIDGE
Graham's proposal was to
sell bonds for the bridge
construction and make a toll
span of the bridge to repay
the bonds. He pointed out
that he had been in touch
with the Liberty County Com-
mission and the majority
seemed to be in favor of the
suggestion. Liberty County is
just across the River at the
point where SR 22 dead ends
at the River bank, which is
about two. and a half miles
East of the Dead Lakes Dam.
Graham said he wanted the
Gulf County Board to get
with the. Liberty County
Board and see how suscepti-
ble they would be to the idea
of constructing 22 West to the
River bank. At present, the
nearest paved road in Liberty
County is about two and a
half miles from the River
bank.
"If they will build the road,
I think we can get the bridge
across", Graham said. He


felt support could be gained
from people living in Liberty
County and working in Port
St. Joe, since it would shorten
their drive to and from work
considerably.
The Board favored Gra-
ham's proposal if all the
"ifs" could be resolved.
OTHER ACTION
In other action, the Board:
-Inspected the new com-
puter bookkeeping machine
installed in the Clerk's office
recently.
-Awarded a bid on new air
conditioners for the County
Health Department buildings
to Gulf County Heating and
Air Conditioning Co., at a
price of $6,941.74 with the old
units going to the firm in
trade. Ernie Gorham, owner
of the firm, said installation
would require about 60 days.
-Accepted a bid of $1,-
069.50 from West Florida
Equipment Company to fur-
nish the County Road De-
partment with an electric
welder.
-Accepted a recommen-
dation of Civil Defense Di-
rector Richard Lancaster to
form an Emergency Service
Council in the County.
-Received $6,264.26 from
Tax Assessor Sammy Patrick
in excess funds. Patrick also
returned $471.50 to the School
Board.


Energy Crisis
Hits County

The energy and gas-
oline crisis has struck
full force -against the
Gulf County Road De-
partment.
Standard Oil Com-
pany notified the Coun-
ty this past week they
could no longer furnish
the Road Department
with gasoline.
Standard Oil didn't
furnish the County gas
in 1972, on which allot-
ments are based, and
so could not furnish
them now.
During this period of
time, the County had
awarded Gulf Oil the
gasoline bid. Clerk
Core said he had con-
tacted Gulf Oil and was
told they could supply
80 percent of the
amount of gasoline
purchased by the Coun-
ty -in 1972 until July.
Standard has said
they can once again
begin selling the Coun-
ty gasoline at that
time.

Desecration


When most of us, 210 million
Americans, think about the Amer-
ican Revolution and the Spirit of
1776, we recall such patriots as
Washington, Jefferson, Ben Frank-
lin and Tom Paine, who, collec-
tively, probably did more for the
freedom of man than any group
that ever lived.
However, when a huckster-
artist named H. H. Booker, II
recently was hired to think about
the Spirit of '76, he recalled-in a
mural no less-Karl Marx, Fried-
rich Engels, Joseph Stalin and Mao
Tse-tung who, collectively, have
done more to enslave man than any
group that ever lived. Booker's
sponsor was the Washington, D.C.
Bicentennial Committee.
Now, Booker is free to think
and create what he will in America
-a freedom, ironically, that he
would be denied under the very
men he idolizes. However, when his
"creativity" ends up on the walls of
the Bicentennial Building in the
Nation's capital it is more than a
bad joke. It is a desecration.

Apparently for more fun, Book-

mural: President Nixon wearing a

ster, Tricia Nixon Cox in an Afro
hairdo- standing next to Angela
Davis.
An official of the D.C. Bicen-
tennial Commission explained
weakly, in a published interview,
that the Communist figures were
included because, "All were in-

is right to this degree: all- have

T"HE.STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY ,1,P, 19 74


The City Commission has served notice on
the e, gineers and the contractors who are
responsible for construction of the new Waste-
water Treatment Plant, they do not intend to
be responsible for the City having to pay for
any errors or mistakes either or both may have
made in the construction of the plant. We, as a
tax payer appreciate this.
The City has spent a lot of money for
technical advice and construction in the plant
and its magnitude is far too large for the City
to undertake to rebuild any portion of the plant
which might not work as well in reality as it
does on paper. This happens with many big
projects and with problems cropping up in the
starting up period of this plant, the City
Commission is on firm ground to take steps to
see it doesn't happen with this one.
It's almost unthinkable a City the size of
Port St. Joe could or would undertake a project
this expensive and it is imperative that it be
done right to start with.
The Mayor and Commission members
didn't mince any words last Tuesday when they
told both parties involved they would be
responsible for seeing that the plant works
properly.
Of course the individual members of the
Commission must take the word of the engin-
eers and the contractor that the job is properly
constructed. They, however, have taken a
further step and told those giving the advice
they will not be paid until the plant operates
properly.
If more public projects had this proviso
attached, there would be far less waste of
public money.

Speaking of public projects, whatever
happened to the new library buildings the
County was going to construct with a portion of
Revenue Sharing money?
It's been over six months now since the
County Board said they intended to construct
the buildings from this fund, but we have seen
no progress as yet. We don't feel the County
Commission has. forgotten the project and we
know they have had their hands full recently
with this ambulance service thing, but it seems
; ^ tart something "

I see where the Governor has thrown his
support behind the reduction of the mill cap on
the school taxes and, presumably, letting the
State assume a larger load of this financial
burden.
We reprinted an editorial by Oren Smith,
Publisher of the Holmes County Advertiser two
or three weeks ago taking Representative
Mixon of Jackson County to task for just such a
proposal. Smith wanted the burden and the
responsibility for operation of the schools left
with the local people rather than -push this
responsibility off on Tallahassee. We agree
with him.
We have little enough to say about how we
operate now, without allowing more power and
responsibility to slip through our fingers.
If the State is able, financially, to assume
this financial responsibility, let the State
reduce some of its taxes (maybe a cent on the
sales tax). Reduction of State taxes would help
more people on the local level than reduction of
the cap on the property taxes.
We have seen in the past where placing a
cap on local taxing power merely pushes the
v luation up to collect the same amount or
more taxes. With the State assuming more
financial responsibility we can see an excuse to
hike these taxes also. This would result in a
double increase in taxes.
Leave the present 10 mill cap and let us
dicker with our local people if the taxes get too
high. Having to deal with Tallahassee to reduce
taxes is an almost impossible task since both
parties are so far removed from each other.

These days are tough times.
We have to live with Washington being in a
turmoil, unemployment going up, inflation
f rising, prices going up, our world popularity
going down, Arabs hogging the oil and jacking
Sup the price, our oil running out, rumors of
$1.00 a loaf bread in the future, shortages of
everything, truckers acting up, British coal
Miners striking, TV getting more risque every
day, barely enough wheat to last to the new
harvest and a host of other things.
But, what the heck. We've got our health,
and when you've got your health you've got
about everything.
And if you don't have your health, pray you
will hurry and get old enough for Medicare.

NEW DIANTHUS
COLORS CREATED


& ".f County Sheriff Ray-
mond Lawrence has reported
that a 15 year old girl from
Highland View has been
missing from home since
February 4.
Dora Lee Taylor, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Chester
Adams of .111 7th Street,
Highland View was last seen'
at Port St. Joe High School
on the morning of the 4th,
and has not been heard from
since that time.
The girl, who is described
as being about five feet tall,
e r: about 90 pounds,
with blue eyes and long
blonde hair, is believed to
still be in the area, as there
have been reports of her
being seen in Wewafitchka
and in Highland Nieie since
she las reported mi sing.
"We feel certain that there
ard a few friends &f Dora's
whio know where she is, but
in most cases bf runaway
jvewiles we have had in the
"past, friends will tend to help
hide the''rnaways, to hope-
fully keep them from getting
into trouble," reported Sgt.
Tom Berlinger. "More oft9h
than. not, the friends will, say
the. knaw. nothing or" will
give ralse- uarmation as to
the whereabouts?'"
Anyone knowing Dora's
whereabouts is requested to
contact the Sheriff's Depart-
.ment. or the girl's parents
immediately.


New dianthus called "Magic
Charms" is the first hybrid
dianthus mixture. An All-Am-
erica winner'for 1974, the color
range includes crimson, scarlet,
pink, white and two "speckled"
bi-colors.
The most widely available
new flower this season will be
a new dianthus called Magic
Charms that has already cap-
tured the hearts of the seed in-
dustry. Look for it in your fav-
orite catalog and store display.
Winner of an' All-America
Award for 1974, it is the first
hybrid dianthus mixture ever
introduced and what a mag-
nificent mixture it is! Flower
colors include scarlet, crim-
son, white, pink, salmon and
two unique "speckled" bicolors
never before seen in a dianthus.
Magic Charms is early flow-
ering for a dianthus, requiring
less than 12 weeks from sowing
the seed to bloom. In most lo-
cations the plants will survive
the winter for a repeat display
the following spring.
Although seed can be direct-
sown into the garden as soon
as the ground can be worked in
the spring, best results are as-
sured if the seeds are started
early indoors and transplanted.
The lovely flower display
begins in early summer and
continues through until late fall
when the best color effect is
often produced. Plants grow
6 in. high and they are covered

When America's-leading seedsmen, meeting in Atlanta, Georgia,
were asked to name a "Flower of the Year" based on popularity
among homeowners across the country, American marigolds won
the vote. The picture above shows a container planting on a patio.
One of the most popular flowers in American home gardens is
the American (or African) marigold, and when leading seedsmen
meeting at Atlanta, Georgia voted on naming a "Flower of
the Year," the American marigold won the title. It won for
several good reasons, apart from its popularity.
First, American marigolds are very easy to grow, and the large,
easy-to-handle seeds can be directly sown straight into the garden
after danger of frost. Alternatively, the seed can be started in-
doors for transplanting to get earlier blooms.
Second, the flowers last a long time ihi' the garden starting to
bloom in early August and continuing non-stop until hard frost.
Third, they make a spectacular cut flower, growing long stems
easy to arrange, and they mix well with other good cut flowers
such as celosias and zinnias.
Largest flowered of the American marigolds are the Jubilees,'
the Crackerjacks and the Climax series all available in a beau-
tiful mixture of colors, including primrose, yellow, gold and
orange.

Many Florida gardeners
will be buying plants during
the next few months as they
start their spring gardening.
So let's try to answer their
common question. What do I
look for when buying a plant?
Plants, like all goods and
services, come in many
sizes, shapes and qualities. It
is just as important to eval-
uate a plant before purchase
as it is to.carefully inspect a
garment or home appliance.
A cheap plant, in most
instances, is exactly what the
name implies. You may pay
very little but you will prob-
ably get little in return. Nur-
series will. periodically have
sales where they offer top
quality at a minimum price.
But, this is an exception to
the rule, not a common oc-
curience. In most cases the
best plants will be the most
expensive. But how do you
determine best?
First of all, patronize a
reputable nurseryman who.
has a neat and presentable
place. A sloppy nursery often
indicates poorly maintained
plants.
Secondly, inspect each
plant individually. Don't fall
for the "hard sell" where
you are not allowed to see all
your plants.
If your plants are tagged
according to grades and stan-
dards as established by the
Florida Division of Plant In-
dustry, your selection is
much easier. A plant graded
as a Florida Fancy is an
exceptionally healthy and
vigorous plant which is very
well shaped, heavily bran-
ched and densely foliated. A
Florida No. I grade is a
healthy vigorous plant which
is well shaped, well branched
and well foliated. The Florida
No. 2 is healthy, vogorous,
fairly well shaped, with fair
branching and fair foliage.
Any plant not meeting the
above standards is a Florida
No. 3. This last grade is for
culls. The lower the grade at
the beginning, the less
chance the plant has of being
a good one at marutity.
If the plants are not tagged
as to grade, then you must
inspect them closely. Here
are some guidelines along a
negative approach. Down-
grade any plant having the
following characteristicsc:
Lack of health and vigor or
excessive succulence. An un-
healthy plant is apparent in
most cases. Look for weak,
poorly formed, scarred,
cracked or peeling trunks or
branches. Poorly distributed
branches usually lead to
"leggy" plants and should be
avoided. A compact plant is
usually more desirable.
Avoid plants having leaves of
improper shape, size or color.
Excessive yellowing of leaves
is an indication of a problem.
Examine leaves for insect,
disease and mechanical
damage.
For container grown
plants, make sure the root
system is well established but
not root-bound or growing out
of the containers. Roots
should be firmly incorporated

throughout the soil, but not
protruding outside or pene-

Also make sure the plant is
adapted to your area. Will
the plant survive the low or
high temperatures in your
area? Will it flower and or
fruit properly? Is it tolerent

to salt spray if you live in
such an area? And, is it

Chatter


The news media is con-
stantly reminding us of the
country's critical energy
shortage. Therefore, as con-
sumers, we can help by
adopting a conservation ethic
of "wise use and no waste of
electrical energy". This is
possible by using the inherent
efficiencies that our appli-
ances are designed to offer.
These efficiencies trans-
lated into wise cooking habits
do;, conserve much energy.
1. Plan meal cookery in one
area if possible-oven, sur-
face or broiler.
2. Preheat oven only when


vital to a recipe-many
meats and casseroles do not
require preheated ovens.
3. Devote careful attention
to length of recipe cooking.
time and do not "peek" un-
necessarily.
4. For surface cooking, be
sure utensils are correct size,
flat bottoms, straight sides
and tight-fitting lids. Begin
cooking process on high set-
ting and reduce to lower
temperature as soon as poss-
ible.
5. Use small appliances for
specialized, foods-especially
for small quantities.
Now for a recipe indicating
energy conservation...roast,
rice and vegetable casserole
are all prepared in oven at'


powder. Bring to boil on high
heat and reduce to low. and
simmer for two minutes.
Brush on roast and cover
with corn chips and continue
cooking 10-15 minutes or until
thermometer registers 170
degrees.
HINT: Save energy by
cleaning dryer filter after
drying each load of clothes.

Drivers Should Take


Care Passing Children


TALLAHASSEE Drivers
should not relax their vigi-
lance when passing school
children standing or walking
on the roadway whether it be
dark or. daylight says the
Florida Highway Patrol this
week.,
"With several children
already killed or injured dur-
ing January, the year 1974
has started out badly for
pedestrians. There were 550
pedestrian deaths in 1973,
which was an increase over
the previous year of almost
80 percent," said Patrol
Director Colonel Eldrige
Beach
Records indicate that most
pedestriafis are killed
through carelessness on their
part; however, Beach sug-
gested that no driver invol-
ved in a fatal pedestrian
crash, wants to look back and
wonder if there was anything
that he, as a driver, could
have done 'to prevent it.
To make themselves more
visible while walking at night
or during poor visibility
hours, the director urges that
all pedestrians wear light or
bright clothing. He also sug-
gested that reflectorized
tape, available at most hard-
ware or automobile stores, be
attached to other clothing,
lunch boxes, books or brief-
cases.
Bicyclists are reminded
that during darkness hours, a
white light visible from a dis-
tance of 500 feet is required
by law to be on the front and
a red light or reflector must
be on the rear visible from
the same distance. Reflector-

Our nation's energy_
demands are higher now than
they have ever been. Our
resources are strained and
our supply of some forms of
energy is short. It may or not
be a crisis, but certainly we
have the responsibility as
Americans to use our energy
wisely.
It has been estimated..that
nearly 20 percent of electrical
energy supply is used in the
f" home. Major home' appli-
ances are precision engineer-
ed to be highly efficient, so
let's plan and use all electri-
cal appliances as wisely as
possible.
Consider these facts about
the wise use of your electric
refrigerators.
1) Before opening refriger-
ator door, know what is want-
ed and remove and quickly
close the door.
2) Open refrigerator door
as little as possible. (Many
refrigerators now have water
and ice outside conveniences.
3) Choose a refrigerator-
freezer based on real capa-
city needs of your family.
(An overfilled refrigerator
increases energy needs!)
-4) For refrigerators that
are not self-defrosting, never
allow the frost to become
more than %/4 inch thick.

I Causing

Accidents
TALLAHASSEE- Accident
records for the year 1973
indicate that driving while
drinking was the leading con-
tributing circumstance for
fatal traffic accidents said
the Florida Highway Patrol
this week.
Patrol Director Colonel
Eldrige Beach said, "Records
w ^ ^indicate that 625 fatal acci-
dents occurred 'infiwhich the
driver had been drinking
while careless driving, the
second highest fhtal accident
cause, was responsible for
557 fatal accidents."
Records show that failure
to yield the :.-'. -.f ,' was
third with 387 and speed too
fast for conditions was fourth
with 342. Careless driving
was the leading' cause for all
accidents, 82,746 with 28,257
injuries and failure to yield
right-of-way was second with
25,605 injuries.
Safety experts estimate
that more than half of the
10,000 pedestrians killed each
year had been drinking. A
study by the American Auto-
mobile Association in Wash-
ington, D.C., revealed that 71
percent of pedestrians killed
on weekends had been drink-
S'ing.
Colonel Beach concluded by
saying, "If the drinking pede-
S strian and driver are using
O the same streets and high-
N 4M ways, a most deadly combin-
e A ation is formed." He contin-
ued, "If you must use the
highways while drinking,
know your limit for alcohol
or you may reach your limit
in life."

Race Cash
TALLAHASSEE-The third
monthly payment of the 1973-
74' racing tax revenue for
Florida counties has .been
mailed, according to Comp-
troller Fred 0. (Bud) Dick-
inson.
These warrants were cut
for $46,000, a $1500 increase
over last year's third distri-
bution and makes the total
amount sent to each county
$234,500. This is a $50,500
increase over the same per-
iod last year.
Dickinson said, "If we con-
tinue sending out racing rev-
enue at this rate, the counties
should receive their $446,500
a month earlier than usual.
"The larger payments are
generally higher collections
of pari-mutuel taxes."
