GUEST SPEAKER
Guest speaker for the event
was Dan Henning, assistant
coach at Florida State Uni-
versity, who gave an inspir-
ing -address on the value of
self discipline.
Henning told those present,
"You have arrived when you
can set your own values and
adhere to them rather than
being led by the crowd".
The speaker admonished


the young people that it is not
so important where you are
as which direction you are
headed.
Mothers of the football
squad had decorated the
Commons area for the oc-
casion with small footballs,
football helmets and a center
piece consisting of a magnifi-
cent cake frosted with small
footballs, each containing the
number of one of the mem-
bers of the team.


Washington's Birthday Event


Port St. Joe merchants are featur-
ing their annual Washington's Birthday
sale promotion beginning this morning,
with city-wide participation in the big
sale event.
Local merchants are offering their
last big clearance sale before the Spring
season begins and are offering their fall
and winter merchandise at drastic.
reductions to their customers in order to
get ready for the new season.
The Washington's Birthday event
has become a popular sales vehicle with
the merchants and people of the Port St.


Joe area and has become. known as
probably one of the most popular events
for those who wish to buy at a bargain.
As an added attraction in this year's
merchants are conducting a little guess-
ing game. They have had a gallon jar
filled with change and are offering
$75.00 to the person who can guess how
much money is in the jar. The jar will
be in a new location eveyr hour of all
three sale days. It can be seen in all of
the locations participating in the sale
promotion. Anyone who wishes may
play the game. In the case of a tie, the


prize money will be divided between the
people making the correct guesses.
Free parking in downtown Port St.
Joe will also make shopping easier
during the week end spectacular. Park-
ing meters will be hooded and no
parking fees are being charged.
For a peek at some of the bargains
being offered by local merchants during
the week end, just thumb through the
12-page supplement to this week's issue
of The Star, then hurry downtown
before the supplies of sale merchandise
are gone.

Gehrig, representative of eers Tuesday night, the City




Sharks Are Hosting


District Tournament

It was two years ago that a Port St.
Joe basketball team walked into the end of
the year play-offs with a little less than a
so-so record for the season and come out
,of the dust state champions in Class AA.
Tomorrow night, a Shark squad with
almost an identical record will play host to
the District 3, Class AA tournament, and
will try again and equal their feat of two
years ago.
Last year, the Sharks went into the
tournament with a 22-4 record and lost
their bid for state honors.
Starting off the tournament play to-
morrow night at 7:00 p.m. will be Chatta-
hoochee and Carter-Paramore of Quincy.
In the night-cap at 8:30, old cage rivals
Blountstown and Port St. Joewill go at it
tooth and nail. The two teams have traded
victories (both close games) in the regular
season play.
The championship game will be played
Saturday night at 8:00 p.m., earning one
team the opportunity to continue on the
road to the state championship.
Admission for the tournament nights
will be $1.50 for adults and $1.00 for
students.


Commission asked for a sur-
vey of the feasibility of ex-
tending water and sewer ser-
vices to the community of
Oak Grove.
The City awarded a con-
tract to the firm to make a
survey of sewer collection
and water distribution sys-
tems in the City as a prelude
to an extensive project de-
signed to make both services
more effective and to plan for
the future.
In his project plans, Geh-
rig said his firm would
charge the city expenses and
overhead not to exceed $7,000
to make recommendations on
several areas of improve-
ments 'to the sanitary sys-
tems.
Among the areas to be
studied by the engineers are:
-A' study of the water
treatment and supply facili-
ties and suggested rehabili-
tation and expansion of the
system.
-Plans for providing water
and sewer trunk lines to Oak
Grove. (The Commission
expanded this to include a
distribution system in the
area later in the meeting.)
-Replace the lift station at
16th Street and Long Avenue.
-Make recommendations
for improvements to the lift
station on First Street and
make recommendations for
additional lift stations in the
city.
-Inspect all sewer lines for
sand and water infiltration
and make recommendations
for repair or replacement.
Mayor Frank Pate asked
the Commission members if


they had any objections to
extending water and sewer to
Oak. Grove if the services
could be provided on a self
sustaining basis without cost-
ing the city tax payers for
installation or maintenance.
The Board agreed with
Pate the services were need-
ed and the city was in the
best position to provide them
at a reasonable cost to the
customers.
Attorney William J. Rish
said the county had already
paid for extensive engineer-
ing of this area and possibly
the city should approach the
county and reach an agree-
ment on the plan and utilize
engineering the county has in
its possession.
Oak Grove has wanted wa-
ter and sewer for some time,
but the number of potential
customers was not-enough to
guarantee repayment of bor-
rowed money for the instal-
lation.
The City Commission feels
it can provide the service at
a smaller installation cost.
GARBAGE DISPOSAL
Mayor Pate told the Board
it seems as if the city must
begin making plans for dis-
posal of garbage after read-
ing last week's headlines in
The Star.
The Mayor suggested con-
tacting Zurn Industries, the
firm who'furnished the incin-
erator for the Wastewater
Treatment plant and see if
the incinerator could be mo-
dified to take care of city
garbage as well as solids
from the plant.
Plant foreman, Bob Simon


said the incinerator could be
used in his opinion, but mod-
ification would be a major
undertaking.
Pate said wheh dealing
with Zurn for purchase of the
incinerator, this possible use
was discussed and the city

Another Large Land


Transaction in County


Right on the heels of two
large land transactions in
Gulf County last week, a
third huge sale of property
has been reported this week.
In the largest single sale-
of property in modern history
in Gulf County, 24,100 acres
was sold the first of this week
for a reported $8.5 million.
The property sold is located
in Western Gulf County and
is known locally as the Mit-
chell tract. The land is locat-
ed from SR 22 on the North to
the Intracoastal Waterway on
the South and from the Bay-
Gulf County line on the West
to Wetappo Creek on the
East.


Fifth Graders Study News
Members of the fifth grade under the direction of Mrs.
Kay Parrott visited The Star Tuesday afternoon, to


Seller of the tract was
Hamilton G. Kenner of Pan-
ama City and G. A. Robinson,
Jr., of Memphis, Tenn.
Purchasers are Major-Gulf,
Inc., a subsidiary of Major
Realty of Orlando and Tim-
ber Development, Inc., a
subsidiary of Timber Devel-
opment, Inc., of Lakeland.
The property has been im-
proved in recent years by
former owners and contains a
network of private roads,
drainage ditches, and creeks
and features frontage on the
Intracoastal Waterway and
East Bay. Part of the acre-
age has previously been put
in planted pines and part in
agriculture.


The acreage was first pur-
chased by the Mitchell estate
in the 40's and sold in the 50's
to Bernard Meyer of Chicago.
It was sold again in the early
60's to the J. W. Whitney Co.,
of New York and the T. L.
James Co., of Ruston, La.,
who formed the corporation
known as Gulf Timberlands:
In early 1973, the T. L. James
Co., sold the North and West
half property, in excess of
25,000 acres to Kenner and
Robinson.

The remainder of the huge
tract was purchased by the
T. L. James Co., who now
operates as the Circle J
Farms.

EDITORIALS...


Washington's Strength


In the Prayer Room of the U.
S. Capitol is a beautiful' stained
glass window whose central figure
is a kneeling George Washington.
behind Washington this prayer,
from the 16th Psalm, is etched:
"Preserve me, 0 God, for In Thee
do I put my trust."
As Americans pause this month
to celebrate the 242nd birthday of
the Father of out country, it is
fitting that we contemplate the
source of this great man's strength
and wisdom. Although many histor-
ians skirt the issue, there is no
doubt that Washington himself-as
.depicted in the Prayer Room-gave
the credit to his Father in Heaven.
Washington, who was initiated
a Mason when he was 20, remained
throughout his life the most deeply
religious President to have served
our nation. Both .his state papers
and his private correspondence are
sprinkled with scores of references
Deity;,JgAb.y prayers written in
his hariduwive. :i t
- Washington had ample reason
to believe devoutly in God. He had
miraculously escaped death at
least six times-five of them com-
ing in quick succession beginning in
1754 when he was only 22.
After one terrible battle during


this period, when British-American
troops were ambushed by French
soldiers and Indians, Washington
sat down that evening and recorded
the following "I have had four
bullets through my coat today and
two horses shot from under me.
Yet I have escaped unhurt. I have
been protected beyond all human
probability by a powerful dispen-
sation of providence."
More than 30 years later, in
1788, after he had led his beloved
young country throughout its birth
pangs, Washington wrote to his
friend and comrade Marquis de
Lafayette regarding the Constitu-
tion he had helped fashion. "It will
be so much beyond anything we
had a right to imagine or expect,"
wrote Washington, "that it will
demonstrate as visibly the finger of
Providence as any possible event in
the course of human affairs can
ever designate it."
SaWashig.ohli`nost certainly ai-
cepted -.the...wisdom ..of the.,.127th
Psalm, wisdom that our country
and its leaders would do well to
heed today: "Except the Lord build
the house, they labour in' vain that
build it; except the Lord keep the
city, the watchman waketh but in
vain."


Shortages


Americans have been sort of
put out by the shortages which face
us from avery direction these days.
What really stirred a contro-
versy in recent days was the report
of the possibility of $1.00 a loaf
bread, brought on by the impending
shortage of wheat, in the face of
the recent grain deal which sent.
most of our, grain surpluses to
Russia and China. But what really
set Americans off was the jesting
remark by Russia's Vladimir S.'
Alkhimov that his nation would be
willing to sell wheat to the U.S.A.
It is becoming more apparent
to most people that our shortages
are being caused to a large part by
our exports. American companies
are selling their goods abroad
rather than at home simply be-
cause they can get more money for
their products and make larger
profits in the process.
While this seems kind of
heartless for our manufacturing
concerns to sell their goods abroad
while we are experiencing short-
ages of almost everything imagine-
able, we can hardly blame them for
doing so.
This practice seems no more
wrong to us than it is for Ameri-
cans to buy radios and TV's made
in Japan, autos made in Japan and
Germany, shoes made in Italy and
Hong Kong and meat from Aigen-


tina, simply because it is cheaper.
Part of our oil shortage is caused
by Americans depending on cheap
foreign oil rather than developing
its own resources. It was cheaper
that way. Now, oil prices have gone
out of reason because of the short-
age of development and resulting
shortage of supply.
Americans have got to become
concerned about their own town,
their own, state and their own
nation when they make their pur-
chases if we hope to turn this
shortage thing around. For years
we have hounded everyone in Port
St. Joe about trading at home. The
same principle applies to those
things made in this nation. Other
nations can buy our natural re-
sources, chemicals, etc., and man-
ufacture goods then resell them to
Americans at a reduced price, it's
true. But Americans who make a
practice of buying the foreign
goods because they may be
cheaper only add to our shortages
by discouraging expansion at
home.
We became the most affluent
nation in the world by paying our
workers decent wages. Those de-
cent wages can only be maintained
by Americans buying American
goods and keeping that pay scale
up there where it should be.


Middle American Indians try to cure the effects of the evil eye by rubbing the victim with
an egg and burying it under a stream. It seems as effective as anything else!

More Time to Gi



Drivers' Licenses


If adequate, secure space is
allocated in the new court-
house by the County Commis-
sion, Dave Corbin, district,
chief of the state licensing
department, told the Board
last Tuesday that the service
will be extended to two days
a week instead of one. Even-
tually, he said, the office will
be open five days a week
from 8 til 5.
Two-day -endce igphe-

Wednesday, Feb. 26-27, and
each Tuesday and Wednes-
day thereafter. Temporarily,
the license examiner will con-
tinue to occupy a portion of

space.
In the meantime, the com-
mission is exploring the pos-
sibility of walling off space in
the voting machine storage
area. Another suggestion was
to enlarge the planned stand-
by generator building, move
the machines there, and con-
vert the present storage area
to office space.
Corbin said that because of
,the computer and now the
color camera equipment,,his,
-people need a locked area not
shared with anyone else. At
the present time, his people
must load and unload about
200 lbs. of camera equipment

Its been better than a week now since
Americans returned from space after spending
more time whirling about the earth than any
other man or men has. After spending nearly a
quarter of a year in space, they returned to
earth unharmed, uneventfully and almost un-
noticed.
How many of you can recall their names?
How many recall the name of the first
American in space? Almost everyone. Who
- recalls the name of the first Ameri-
can to orbit the earth? Again, almost
everyone. Many may even recall the name of
" the first American on the moon. But the
second, and the third? That's a different story.
The names of the men who returned from
nearly three months spent in space are, Carr,
Gibson and Pogue. Don't ask me the other
names. You should know them without me
telling you.

Ralph Schreiber, a University of South
Florida graduate student, says the last habitat
of the pelican is endangered. This last habitat,
according to Schreiber is Florida. He says the
state is rapidly approaching a population of 10
million people and predicts this population will
be attained by 1980. When that time comes, he
says, the breeding of the pelican will be so
drastically affected by encroachment, the bird
will disappear.
Schreiber had studied the birds for only
five years. Those of us who have lived here for
any length of- time know the birds are
increasing in number here. For the past 15
years there have been virtually no pelicans
but now they can be seen almost daily. The
pelican seems to be increasing with the
population in this part of Florida.

Alexander I. Solzhenitsyn has been deport-
ed by his country for disagreeing with his
nation's politics.
We have looked the papers over daily since
that event but not one mention have we seen of
Jane Fonda, Abbie Hoffman, or any of the
other self-proclaimed champion of the rights of
man taking Russia to task for the shabby
treatment given to one of their native sons.
Nor have we seen a word of apology from
them since they have had more harsh words to
say about their country than Solzhenitsyn had
for his. The Fonda's and the Hoffman's are still
with us; able to enjoy the good things of this
country without the worry of having a cordon
of police come to their room some night and
saying, "Come on. We don't want your kind
here anymore. You're going to leave the
country, now!"
I suspect, though, they are secretly ap-
plauding the Russian government for getting
rid of someone who would say bad things about
so wonderful a country.

Jim Bozeman, Division of
Youth Services field office
representative this week
announced that the Division
will initiate a volunteer pro-
gram in Gulf County. Boze-
man said that after consulta-
tion with Gulf County Judge
Bob Moore it was felt that a
volunteer program would
provide more benefits and
services for children in Gulf
County.
An organizational meeting
will be held tonight, Feb. 21,
at 7:30 EDT in the main
court room of the Gulf Coun-
ty Court House. At that time
a Youth Services Council will
be formed as a governing
body to help guide the vdlun-
teer program.
Mr. Bozeman stated that
due to his high work require-
ments that it is impossible
for him to ever effectively
reach juvenile offenders in a
,meaningful manner.
Statistics reveal that some
75 to 95 percent of, our future
felonies will be committed by


those who first commit a
juvenile offense or misde-
meanor such as the posses-
sion of alcoholic beverages
and drugs, fighting or shop-
lifting.
Our courts must reach an
understanding of the pro-
blems of today's youth. With
the help of community volun-
teers we can begin to cope
with them. Violators must be
penalized for their offenses,
but an attempt must be made
to rehabilitate and make bet-
ter citizens of those who
appear in court.
Some of the programs to be
discussed are: Volunteer
Friend to work on a one-to-
one basis with a youth in
trouble; Volunteer Discussion
Group Leader to help lead
youth discussion groups; Vol-
unteer Parental Discussion
Group Leaders to work with


groups of parent

NOTES

High School

CARL GUILFORD, JR.


Nothing new under the sun?
Perhaps-but there is some-
thing new in The Star! Begin-
ning this week, this article
will tell you what is hap-
pening at Port St. Joe High
School. It is the belief of the
author that what the younger
generation is doing now
reflects what it will do in the
future.
My name is Carl Alton
Guilford, Jr. I feel that I am
qualified to write about stu-
dents because I am a senior
at St. Joe High. Also, I am an
adult that must deal with the
nation's problems at the
polls, being 18 years old.
School activities concern me


greatly, and here are the
more recent ones:
The Vocational Office Edu-
cation Club held open house
Thursday, Feb. 14, in room
C-1. Mrs. Temple Watson,
teacher of VOE, said that the
reason for the open house
was to inform businessmen,
parents, and students of the
opportunities that lie in the
club. The purpose of VOE is
to teach students modern
business techniques. During
the open house students
demonstrated their ability to
work with machines ranging
from typewriters to calcula-
tors. Mrs. Watson said that
the project was the most
successful since the first one
three years ago. All of the
students interviewed agreed
that they had benefited from
the course.

The school underwent a
revolution on Friday, Feb. 15,
with students manning the
-posts usually occupied by the
faculty. Student Government
Day gave the seniors a small
taste of what their teachers
endure the rest of the year.
Mrs. Gant, Special Educa-
tion teacher, coordinated the
event. John Rich, Jr., who
acted as principal, and all the
seniors are to be commended
for the fine manner in which
they handles the responsibili-
ties of Student Government
Day.
The Student Council plans a
dating game modeled after
the successful television pro-
gram for Wednesday, Feb.
20.

So that's what's been hap-
pening-but there is more to
come. I hope that I can tell

Building

Center
The Mexico Beach Cham-
ber of Commerce has under-
taken to erect a recreational
community center at Mexico
Beach. The facility will be
needed to facilitate the
many activities to be held at
Mexico Beach as a part of
the gala Gulf County Golden
Anniversary Celebration,
June 6-14, 1975.
The Chamber will attempt
to have this much needed
facility ready for use for
the gigantic birthday party.
The recreational complex
will serve for many years as
a community center for civic
and recreational programs
for the youth and the adults
of the area.
This is one of 11 projects
that are underway in the
area of Mexico Beach and
Gulf County as a result of the
plans being made for the nine
days of festivity. While all
these development programs
will serve during the Cele-
bration, they will all have
long lasting value for resi-
dents of the area. These
facilities will enable the
natives and visitors to better
utilize the natural abundance
of recreational resources
found in the area.

VOE Holds
Open House
The Vocational Office Edu-
cation class of Port St. Joe
High School held an open
house Feb. 14 for business-
men, students and parents of
VOE students.
The girls demonstrated
office machines such as
simulated key punch, trans-
cription machines, adding
and calculating machines,
duplicating machines and
typewriters.
Students taking other busi-
ness courses were invited to
the Open House.

Judge Bob Moore Outlines Changes

He Plans for County Judge Court


Newly installed County
Judge Bob Moore told the
Rotary Club last Thursday he
is going about the task of
setting up three programs of
service in the Judge's office
here in Gulf County.
Moore said he is establish-
ing a regular calendar for
court, trying to keep the
calendar where citizens can
get prompt convenient ser-


vice and working around the
Circuit Court schedule so as
not to make a hardship for
prospective jurors. "We have
held our first court this past
week", Moore said, "clearing
out all cases which have been
pending since the death of
former Judge Sam Husband.
Judge Moore said he is also
setting up a uniform traffic
violation system which will


allow traffic violators-to take
care of minor cases quickly
and with the least inconven-
ience. "Also we are already
beginning to gear up to ac-
commodate City courts which
will be in our jurisdiction in
the near future."
The juvenile duties of the
Judge's Court is also receiv-
ing attention. Judge Moore
said, "We are trying to get


the 'Big Brother' system op-
erating in Gulf County which
will go a long way toward
solving our juvenile prob-
lems. Juvenile offenders are
a growing problem and, we
hope to meet the matter
effectively."
Guests of the Club were
Glenn Couch and John
Humphries of Tallahassee.


Tallahassee Response to
the new law which became
effective January 1, 1974,
requiring motorists to bring,
proof of insurance when hav-
ing their motor vehicles in-
spected annually has been
excellent said the Florida
Highway Patrol today.
Patrol Director Colonel
Eldrige Beach said, "We are
pleased that the public has
cooperted so well in bringing
their proof of insurance with
them to the inspection
stations."
Records indicate that


inspection stations are reject'-
ing about two percent of
vehicles for failure to bring
proof of insurance and nearly
half of these have insurance
but just forget to bring proof.
The leading cause for
rejection is still headlights
with 18.18 percent. Other
rejection causes are tires, 7.5
percent; tag, side and clear-
ance lights, 5.95 percent; foot
brakes, 5.7 percent; tail and
stop lights, 4.58 percent; turn
signals, 4.03 percent; wind-
shield wipers, 3.71 percent;
and steering, 2.25 percent.


Exhaust systems which have
only been inspected since
August 15, 1972, are esti-
mated to be responsible for
six to seven percent of total
rejections.
Colonel Beach concluded by
saying, "If motorists will
check their vehicles for
defective lights, tires and
other items easily detected
before going the inspection
station, it would save a lot of
wasted trips."

"We're paying 130 more per pound

for this type of cable than we did

in 1973. If you don't think that's a

lot, just multiply it by 4 million."

Compared to the higher prices you've been paying to put a
pound of meat on the family table, 130 doesn't sound like much.
But multiply it by the 4 million pounds of this cable we have
to buy this year, and you get $520,000.
Over a half a million dollars extra for one size of wire
cable alone.
.. Now add the runaway costs,of just aboyt, everything -
growing power-company miJst have to serve ifs customers
-reliably, and you have some idea of what inflation is
doing to us.
We've been working hard to hold the line
on costs.
But just as your family has to eat, our company
has to produce.
And the simple fact is, when producing electricity FOmda
costs more, rates have to go up. POwer

Plant Trees On High


campus In Work Program


.5,y-5 5.-


I


Bill Dickson, who heads up
the work experience program
at Port St. Joe High School,
arranged for some of the
ninth and tenth grade stu-
dents to participate in loca-
ting, digging up, and trans-
planting red maple, sweet-
gum and cottonwood on the
school grounds. The purpose
of this was to give some of'
the interested students train-
ing in planting ornamental
trees as well as to add to the
beautification of the school
grounds. Shown in the picture
with .Bill is some of his
students while they were in
the process of planting these
trees.
This work experience pro-
gram is new, and its purpose
is to better prepare students
to work at jobs with which
they are familiar after they
finish school. Also of import-
ance is the fact that they can
earn some money while they
are going to school which will
enable some of them to
remain in school.
Ninth graders in the pro-
gram attend two periods on
their job oriented classes and
spend one period a day on the
job working. The other three
periods are devoted to Eng..
lish and social studies in the
classroom.
Tenth graders also attend
two periods of their job
oriented classes but also
spend two periods on the job
working. The remaining two
periods are spent in the study
of English and social studies
in the class room.
At this time 19 students are
participating in this program.
Ralph Edenfield, County
Forester for Gulf and Bay
Counties, also participated in
this tree planting project.


Thursday, Feb. 14, several
members of the St. Joseph
Historical Society, Mrs.
Charles Browne, Mrs. R. H.
Brinson, Mrs. Ralph Swatts,
Sr., and Jesse Stone, presi-
dent, enjoyed a field trip to
the Junior Museum of Pan-
ama City.

Mrs. Mack Lewis, presi-
dent of -the Museum, Bob
Crouder, director and a num-
ber of rnembers of the Bay
County Historical Society
welcomed the visitors. -Mrs.
Martha Spiva, formerly of
Port St. Joe and initiating a
move for:another printing of
"The Great Tide" also greet-


ed the visitors.
The museum is planning to
depict "The Great Tide" and
the history of old St. Joseph
during Gulf County's 50th
Anniversary Celebration in
1975 and are hoping to have
copies of the book on sale at
that time.
Mrs. R. H. Brison and Mrs.
Charles Browne -have been
appointed from the St. Joseph
society to work with Mrs.
Spiva on this project, and the
society will cooperate in set-
ting up the exhibit.
The Junior Musuem is cur-
rently depicting the history
and culture of Japan. Among


the attractions are a Japan-
ese tea garden, a temple,: a
Japanese room authentic cos-
tuming, murals, hangings,
dolls, lighted lanterns and
historical figures.
Here is found the six steps
of woodblock printing, mar-
tial arts, and the arts of
Kirigami (paper cutting) and
Origami (paper folding) to
make birds, animals, fish,
plants, butterflies, flowers,
etc.
The Junior Museum always
has interesting exhibits, and
the people of Port St. Joe
should visit it. Maybe some-
one will be inspired to begin
such a project in our city.

Ruling On
Canal Draws
Much Interest

TAMPA Reaction to the
news of Judge Harvey John-
sen's ruling on the Cross
Florida Barge Canal was
hailed by water resources
interest as "tremendous."
Judge Johnsen's ruling
declared it illegal to stop
construction on the Cross
Florida Barge Canal.
His ruling overturned Pres-
ident Nixon's injunction
against further construction
on the canal by declaringi
that only Congress had the
right to halt it.
