(Star Photo) Osteopath Hospital F The City Commission, Tuesday night, agreed to give hospital privileges to Dr. Dareld Morris, an Osteopath, to operate in the Municipal Hospital. Dr. Morris, formerly of Carrabelle, is moving his of- fices to Port St. Joe if he could be ganted the hospital privileges. His use of the hospital has been approved by the medical staff and the City Commission. Dr. Morris formerly op- erated from the Carrabelle Hospital which was closed recently due to an inability to hire enough registered nur- ses... The Commission also set up a special meeting for Mon- day, March 25 at 6:00 p.m. to discuss management of the Municipal Hospital in the in- terim while the Board se- cures a new manager for the institution. Miss Minerva McLane, Hospital Administrator for the past several years is retiring April MOTORCYCLE PROBLEM Motorcycles and under age riders were a concern of the Commission Tuesday night. The Board had complaints of noisy cycles in the vicinity of Municipal Hospital disturb- ing patients. Commissioner George Wimberly reported the young cyclists had made a regular obstacle course in the vacant woods near the hospital and rode it regular- ly, creating a noise problem at the hospital. The biggest concern of the board is the increasing num- ber of under age riders being allowed to ride the cycles throughout the City. None of the Board members seemed to want to keep the kids from having fun, but they were concerned with the danger from the young riders getting out on the streets. . Assistant Police Chief Roy Robinson told the Commis- sion a child must be at least 15 years old and have at least a driver learner's.permit to ride the cycles on the street. In view of the complaints and the danger involved, the Commission instructed Rob- inson to enforce the law in the matter. Other traffic concerns was the dangerous intersection at Highway 98 and Industrial Road. The Board instructed attorney William J. Rish to contact the Department of Transportation. in regards to a traffic signal at the inter- section. PURCHASE EQUIPMENT The Commission purchased -and agreed to seek bids on two pieces of equipment for use in the streets and to clean out sewer mains. Both ma- chines are designed to give faster service with less man- ual labor. A hydraulic sewer main cleaning machine was pur- chased from Nay!or Supply Co., of Baton. Rouge, La., for $18,362.82. Other bids for the machine went as high as $21,000. The machine will al- low the City to keep its mains cleaner and do a better job of cleaning in trouble spots.' The Board agreed to call for bids for a chipper and vacuum to clean limbs, trash, debris from yard cleaning, etc., from the side of the City streets. Current practice is to use manpower to load the debris on an open truck and haul it to the dump. The new machine will chip up limbs, reducing the number of trips to the dump and vacuum up How does a six foot, five, 270 pound fisherman from Highland View get along in Japan where the entire na- tion is designed for little people? "Not very well", said Gene Raffield, of Raffield Fisheries who made a trip to the Land of the Rising Sun recently with 30 other seafood producers and processors from the United States, Can- ada and Mexico. Raffield and his wife spent two weeks in Japan with seafood producers from Flor- *ida, Mexico, Canada, Alaska, Prince Edward Island and England as the guests of the Japanese government and Japanese Air Lines. Raffield said the trip was engineered to acquaint the producers with Japan's need for sea food and encourage more trade with the nation. "The Japanese eat an aver- age of 467 pounds of seafood per person per year," Raf- field said. "That figures to over a pound a day per person." Raffield said the Japanese use fish for many of their foods. "They make 'ham' and *sausage' out of fish and disguise it in many ways." He pointed out that where Americans use about 40 per- cent of a fish, the Japanese use it all. "They clean the fish much as we do, then make a fish cake out of some of the residue, then grind the remainder in a food pellet for animals. Nothing is wasted." Raffield said the party vis- ited the Tokyo seafood mar- ket where 10 to 12 million pounds bf,. af" iis sold daily. "This is more than our entire production for two years," he said. "And it isn't cheap, either. Most of the fish Is Gene Revival services will begin at the Church of the Naza- rene Tuesday, March 26 and continue through Sunday, March 31, according to the pastor, Rev. Roy Smith. Ser- vices will be held each night at 7:30 p.m., with nursery facilities provided. " Guest speaker for the _pec- ial series of meetings will be Rev. Clark Langford, pastor of the Panama City First Church of the Nazarene. Rev. Langford attended school at Given rivi leges other debris, reducing the need for manpower. Purchase of this machine will eliminate the need for one new dump truck and allow better cleaning service with the present labor force. DELAY CHANGE A proposed change in the zoning of Broad Street in Unit 3 of Millville Subdivision was delayed until all property owners affected could be notified. The change would require R-1A construction on the street which calls for 15 foot setback lines and at least 1,200 square feet in each dwelling. Commissioner Tom Coldewey noted the lots in this area. are only 75 feet and the new ruling would leave only 45 feet in which to build. Students from Port St. Joe Elementary and Highland View Elementary schools enjoyed an unusual experience last Thursday as they toured a U.S. Army helicopter. The helicopter, based in Ft.

Got Our Man Gulf County Sheriff Ray- mond Lawrence says, "We're clearing crime in Gulf Coun- ty." Recently the breaking and entering of Butler's Restaurant and Lounge, Scheffer's Grocery and the St. Joe Bay Country Club have been cleared and most all of the property taken has been recovered by Sheriff's Deputies. Sheriff Lawrence stated the clearance rate of crimes in Gulf County is very good, and contributes this to a well trained staff and the concern- ed citizens of the county. Lawrence further stated that the good citizens of this county are usually our best source of information to com- bat the criminal element, and requested that citizens con- tinue to be concerned and report unlawful activity. Dixie Youth Must Register This year all boys who wish to play Little League baseball will have to register. This includes those who have play- ed on teams before as well as those who would like to play for the first time. Registration for old ball players as well as tryouts for new ballplayers will be held at the Little League field on Tenth St. at 5:30 on March 25, 26 and 27 for eight and nine year olds. Four points must be car- ried out, by. those, wishing to play. 1) Regfster on ti~ ay:. of tryouts; 2) be present two of the three days of tryouts; 3) bring his birth certificate; and 4) bring $2.00 for umpire fees. Friday, March 8, 1974, at 10:00 p.m., Gulf County Sher- iff Raymond Lawrence stated: "We got our man" as deputies recaptured William Eugene Whitehurst, escaped prisoner, at Mexico Beach near the county line. Whitehurst escaped from the Gulf County Jail March 4, 1974, while serving time for breaking and entering. He was a trustee prisoner at the time of the escape and sur- prised jail personnel when he failed to return after routine chores around the jail. Sheriff Lawrence added that he had received assist- ance from the Mexico Beach Police Department and the Bay County Sheriff's Dept., in apprehending the escaped prisoner. Week End Laymen Revival at Long Ave. The Long Avenue Baptist Church is having a layman- led revival meeting this week end. A group of Baptist lay- men from various churches will be here to assist the local lay members in a program of outreach. The visiting laymen will conduct services in the church on Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 7:30 p.m. They will also be in charge of the Sunday morning worship ser- vice. The services will consist of gospel music, testimonies and an evangelistic message. Joe Wilkie of Wakulla Springs is the coordinator of this group of laymen. The church extends a cor- dial invitation to everyone to attend the series of revival services and hear the testi- monies of the visiting lay- men. The church nursery will be open each evening at 7:15 for babies and pre-school children. The brotherhood of the local church, under the lead- ership of Neil Arnold and Wendell Whitaker, will host a prayer breakfast at the church on Saturday morning at 7:30 a.m. One of the visiting laymen will speak after the meal. An all male choir will provide special music at the Sunday night worship. Cancer Society Plans Mailing The Gulf County Unit of the American Cancer Society announced this week that letters and literature have been prepared to be mailed to Gulf County businessmen asking their support in the fight against the nation's number two killer. The busi- ness crusade will be held March 25 March 29.

One thing for sure, it has now become uncommon .to find., Watching "The Waltons" on TV the other night, the family was appalled and at the same time dismayed that a man should fail his end of a bargain with.John-Boy. It was unthinkable in that day for a Season to go back on his word. It's an indictment to our morals and ,honesty that we no longer enter into an agreement without the services of an attorney to make an agreement binding so that it will be a breach of law if one person fails to meet his agreement. Too, we are plagued with theft. Almost every week we hear of cases of theft even around small, sedate and quiet Port St. Joe. True most of the thefts are small and termed petty. They add. up, ;howl- ever. -*"Tl er was-ai-tnfirrio too long ago when The Star rarely had a theft which prompted an arrest to report. Now hardly a month goes by that several aren't reported. When we first began this en- deavor, several years ago, we never locked the back door of our establishment. We didn't have a way to lock- the -door. Money was left lying around to use for change the next day, and nothing ever went missing. Today, we don't even dare walk across the street without locking the door. We don't dare leave money in the office at night to attract burglars. For years, we never took the keys out of our car around town. Even at night, the car stayed parked out front of the house with the keys in it. It makes us skittish .now to leave the keys in the car. We have never had anything taken from us other than what kids will normally pick up to plaX,..with and forget to put back where they found it, until just the last- few years. Now things disappear regu- larly. Nothing big, yet, you under- stand, but things it costs a few dollars to replace. We've hhad fish- ing tackle disappear out of our garage; tapes disappear out_ of the car; a pocketbook stolen from the -car-all within the'lasLfive-years- They tell us. that overseas,..one,, doesn't dare leave anything unat- tended. If you do, you can kiss it goodbye. The store keepers here in Port St. Joe say you can kiss some things goodbye here in our town even while you are looking at them. Turn your back and you're cleaned out. We don't know what has" hap- pened to the urge to be honest, but we hope it becomes fashionable again. Working Overtime It seems as if the offensive to impeach President Nixon is shifting, into high gear. The committee investigating the possible charges for impeachment seem to be work- ing overtime to come up with something or other they can legit- imately claim to be an illegal act performed by the President. Political writer James Kilpat-: rick pointed out in one of his columns last week that, as usual,.. the bureaucrats aren't cognizant of what the people are thinking. Kilpatrick says his mail is running heavily in favor of the" President being left alone to do the job he was elected and is being paid to do. Kilpatrick says his; mail is flavored with the opinion, ex- pressed by a gentleman from Ohio, who wrote: "Any clear-thinking person will recognize Watergate for Other Editors S The Grit Newspaper Profit is as American as apple pie and much more essential. Yet it is a "rip-off, something that the bad guys steal from the good guys," as the opinion of many Ameri- cans, as Vice President Ger- what it. is, to wit, a liberal media vendetta against Mr. Nixon, whom they have always hated, because he has -done much to frustrate their desires." The point is, if those wishing to impeach the President are doing so to gain points with their constit- uents, and what politician doesn't gauge every move on its,, vote appeal, they are barking ,up the, wrong tree.: All us "little people" demand that the President be left alone tQ finish his job. Then, if he doesn't please us-or his party doesn't please us-we will change. As long as the committee can charge the President only with "crimes" which have to do with political expediency, they can forget that avenue to gain popularity for them- selves. ay: American ald Ford has observed. Americans generally need more thorough instruction in economics. Our citizens need to know that profit is the lub- ricant which keeps the mach- inery of free enterprise in good repair and running smoothly. For example, it is the profit motive which has kept Grit in business more than 90 years. Each salesperson buy" a weekly supply of papers ,' resell to his customers at a healthy profit.

We realize that no one person should, be singled out when so many gave so unself- ishly of their time and talent; however. Mike Meckley, Sup- erintendent for Noohan Con- struction Company was so instrumental in organizing the project that we would be remiss in not acknowledging ._his contribution. There are so many who deserve to have their names listed for our heartfelt thanks that we would surely miss one.

One fine sunny day a few years back my son Pierre, his beautiful little wife Etta Marie and me went on a little cruise in his,sloop the "Big Bazoo". We made pretty good time across the bay to Eagle Harbor with the daily afternoon sou'wester. There was only one king size Budweiser on board and I ate that on they way over, counting on buying a couple of six packs when we got there. Lo and behold there was none to be had. I tried to get Little Nort on the phone and failing in that decided the only thing to do was sail back home. It was late in the evening and the, wind died out a few minutes after we cast off and the kicker wouldn't start. Well. there we were in the doldrums becalmed with PAGE TWO Beetle Bailey By Mort Walker s09H b THIS NIC .WEATHER MAk'ES YOU THINK OF ALl THE FOLKS WHO ARE SICKAND CAN'T BE OUT.

After two or three hours we noticed three different squalls making up. One was to the east dead ahead, one in the north and the other in the south. The one in the east hit first and it wasn't bad as squalls go, but built up a steady little breeze which we of course had to tack into. You know tacking is like taking two steps forward and one backward. I sat back there at the tiller smoking my pipe, Pierre helped with the boom when we came about and Little Eta sat on her hands and, as I found out later, prayed that I wouldn't give out of Prince Albert. We beat op into the wind for quite a while and had made it to within a half mile of the little dock when a big high-bowed shrimp boat loomed up on our port beam and hailed us. Miss Helen had called Otis Pyle and he had got Dave Maddox and his pilot boat to come rescue us. They offered to tow us in but me and Pierre figured we might as well beat it on in and we thanked them and parted friends. We made it in to the dock just as the squall from the south hit us with high winds and rain and by the time we got everything battened down and made fast we were wet and cold and thirsty. Now the moral to this story is don't ever set out in a sail boat with a broke down kick- er without laying in a supply of king size Budweisers and ice. 'It shore makes a lot of difference. -KILLER K. King Features Syndicate, Gulf Co. Cancer Unit Gives Aid to Patients LETTERS To The Editor Notes from "Killer K" Beca Ilmed ,. i Etaoin Shrdlu by WESLEY R. RAMSEY r After reading the newspapers for the week end, it shouldn't be too hard for anyone to write a newspaper column. When there is plenty happening, there is plenty to express an opinion about. For instance, President Nixon made an- other speech over the week end to an exclusive club in Chicago. During the course of the speech, he had the gall to say the United States wasn't going to furnish its nuclear umbrella any longer for nations in the European Market if they persisted in trying to bankrupt the United States or took unfair advantage of the nation in their economic dealings. Nixon said, "We are not going to be faced with the situation where the nine European nations are ganged up against the United States." All I can say to that is, "Hallelujah!" The relationship between the United States. and Europe has been, as the President described it, "A one way street" long enough. The energy crisis drags on and on with the exporting oil nations sounding more and more like the Americans every day in their attempts to make a decision. Before the Arabs decide whether or not they are going to resume selling oil to the U.S. they must first decide if they wish to raise the price any more. Already their price has been tripled. Inflation is still with us, but, according to the newspapers over the week end, it is more severe almost anywhere else in the world than it is here in the United States. I read where the typical night out on the town, including dinner out, can cost $100 per person in Japan. Prices are predicted to go higher during the year, but not as rapidly as in the past. That won't be so bad if the goods we buy will just hold together and operate until we get them paid for. I got my latest issue of Newsweek the other day and found out why I had been missing Joseph Alsop lately. I subscribed to Newsweek to read Alsop and I have been missing him lately The reason, I found out, is because he has ,,.eukewia!and hasbeen intthe hspitalabout to die.

Every vacant field which isn't covered with cattle and hogs is being plowed or planted. In many places, land was being cleared and prepared for the planting. Farmers appear to be leaving nothing fallow. Now to close it out, we want to call your attention to the latest bid by the draft dodgers to gain amnesty and return to the country. Amnesty has been a bone of contention ever since youth began to cross the border to avoid their military obligation. About the 'oilr 'light I can shed on the situation is to observe that nobody asked them to leave. PAGE THREE THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY, MARCH 21. 1974 FLORIDA WILDLIFE COMMENTS ON THE OUTDOORS Dr. 0. E. Frye. Jr. Director 0 Dr."- G E O MS 'SO GAME AND FRESH WATER FISH COMMISSION TALLAHASSEE-By the time you readers see' this column the 1973-74 general hunting season will be over. Opening day, that elusive date for which so many of us anxiously await with great anticipation, will have come "and gone. Perhaps you were one of the lucky hunters that man- aged to bring that trophy buck into your sights just as the first rays of sunlight be- gan to burn away the early morning fog. If so, no doubt your season will be counted as successful regardless of your luck the remaining sea- son. But, what if you were not one of ,the lucky ones on opening morning and- what if you hunted like the devil and have not even seen a buck? And what .if the season drew to a close and you still didn't get a shot? Will you join the ranks of that detestable minority of hunters who take the attitude that "well, it's almost 'over and I'm damn sure going to kill something even if it is a butt-head." Or will you adopt an op- timistic .attitude and say "maybe next year". We sure hope you are among the latter. But, for the sake of dis- cussion, how do you measure the season as to good or bad? I'd like to share a. few thoughts with you that might make your "non-productive"' season,, if that's the case, a little more enjoyable. Maybe this was your year for that new shotgun or rifle you've been really wanting. How many catalogs did you leaf through and how many guns did you handle and look at in how many, sporting goods stores? How many-dis-' cussions with friends aboiit ; gauges and calibers, auto- matic or pump and so on? And then the clincher when"a friend of a friend was able to pick one up for you at a discount. Surely the thoughts and memories" involved here contributed to a good season. Or maybe it was that proud feeling you had the, day you took that old, secondhand pickup you've been working on every week- end out for .a shake down run.! You could hardly;, tell that hand brushed paint job from the factory finish.: Aqd didn't those split rims.and big. tires you saved for so loring really do the job in that sand bed. Surely this was another plus for a good season. How about the times you got together with your bud- dies to go scout some new territory, or build starids r look for game sign. And the weekend you all went down' to6; clean up the camp and patch up the dog pen and get everything in shape. Sure, it was work, but, what abotit fellowship? There is no way you; can't count that, as part of a good season. And what about the day- your son graduated from the hunter safety course? Boy, wasn't he proud of that taqrgt he brought home with a pef- fect'score. And then 'the day he was so excited he could hardly talk when he showed you where that "great big doe" walked right under his stand, and he said, "but :I wouldn't shoot it, Daddy. II knew it wasn't a buck." I could go on and on buit these are a few of the things that make my season a real. pleasure and maybe it will work for you.

S. Postal Service; now therefore, I call upon all residents of Port St. Joe, Florida to ob- serve March 25 to March 30 as Student' Postal Week, which I do hereby declare. During this week our children will participate, in their classrooms, in a comprehen- sive study of how our country moves the mail. In this way, they will better understand the key roll this nation's pos- tal system has played in the dissemination of ideas and information, a roll essential to the knowledge and effec- tive participation by a free people in their government.

Version Pocohantas Soon afterwards, Milly and her family left with other Indians for resettlement in Arkansas. Years later, in 1842, Lt. Col. E. A. Hitchcock of the U.S. Army was on an official mission in the Indian terri- tory and heard Milly was living near the Arkansas River in the vicinity of pre- sent day Muscogee, Okla. He sent for her. Although now 40 years old, Milly was described as still being a good-looking woman by Col. Hitchcock in his diary.

The special medal also was authorized, ". .the Secre- tary of War is authorized to procure and transmit to the said Milly, a medal with appropriate devices impress- ed thereon, of the value not exceeding 20 dollars, as an additional testimonial of the gratitude of the United States." It was three years before the acts could be carried out. During this period Milly struggled for existence and became ill with tuberculosis. James Logan, the Creek agent, reported: "I had the honor to receive. .your com- munication relating to the, Act ofL Congress, .granting Milly, daughter of the Pro- phet Francis, a pension for her generosity in saving the (Blondie ft4ww c AMKU - ~ mm b~W~*CL life of a white man. That same day I received the information that she was ly- ing dangerously ill;!

I immed- iately procured medical aid, and done all that was possi- ble to alleviate her suffer- ings. I: read your letter to her, at which she was so highly elated, that I flattered myself that she was recover- ing. But my hopes were falla- cious, her disease was con- sumption. She died on the 19th, being about 50 years old. She died a Christian, a devout member of the Baptist Church. ." "She informed me that at the time the act was ren- dered which saved the life of Capt. McKrimmon, she never expected any pecuniary re- ward. Her family was rich, she did not require it. She had, however, become very poor, and she was very grate- ful for the notice taken of her by the Government."

Last Tuesday, Quincy's Carter Paramore scored one ' of the runs, while the Shark batters were pounding them for 14 runs to win 14-1 in the fifth inning. Mark Wimberly chalked up his third win of the season, giving up two hits and col- lecting seven strike-outs. Wimberly was backed by eight hits; one, a three-run homer by Steve Owens. It was Owens' first round trip- per of the season. Jim Moore had a triple and single with two RBI's. SQUEEZE BY RICKARDS The Sharks barely preser- ved their good record for the season Saturday afternoon, defeating Rickards of Talla- hassee, 3-2, in the fifth in- ning. Bubba Harmon started on the mound for Port St. Joe and picked up his fifth win of the season. In a shaky first inning, Harmon gave up two of the three hits he allowed in four innings worked and walked two to allow Rickards to get their two runs. The Sharks came back in the second to score when Denzil Weimorts reached first on an error and scored on a fielder's choice. In the fifth inning, Russell Chason led off with a single through the middle and Kenneth Weimorts followed with a single. Both scored when Harmon singled to right field. Reggie Gilbert came on in relief in the fifth and held Rickards scoreless the rest of the way. Gilbert 'gave up two hits while fanning six batters. Rickards threatened in the seventh, when a single and two Shark errors put three men on base with only one out. Gilbert struck out the final two batters to win the REGISTRATION OF FICTITIOUS NAME We the undersigned, being duly sworn, do hereby declare under oath that, the names of all persons interested in the business or profession carried on under the name of SUB SHOP, at 401 Monument Avenue, P.O.

With a little planning, the son can fund the exercise of his future option by taking out insurance on his father's life. The proceeds of the life insurance will be paid by the son to the executor and then be available for distribution to other legatees. But there are the son's income taxes to consider, too. What does a bargain option mean to him? Example: The controlling owner of a company wills his son an option to buy his stock in the company at $100 a share and makes cash bequests to his three daugh- ters. At the owner's death, the stock has a fair market value of $200.

Carl Guilford may have decided to take his vacation early because-tragedy of tragedies-he was absent from school Monday, the day ,.,. By.Jack Harper Tallahassee Democrat Col. Drake Wilson says the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers has an economical and "ecologically sound" plan to provide a year- round navigational channel on the Apalach- icola River. Wilsornchief of the Mobile District of the Corps, said the new plan calls for one damn at Sutton's Lake near Blountstown with dikes to, keep the river from flooding. He also said' that present dredging of the river to maintain a navigational channel does more damage to the seafood industry at Apalachicola than a "run-of-the-river" dam would do. The new. information came in a speech Wilson made before the Chattahoochee Rotary Club, last week. IT FOLLOWS an apparent pattern the corps has of slowly releasing information on its new 'plan to control the free-flowing Apalachicola before a full-fledged public hearing. Florida environmentalists, including Atty. Gen, Robert Shevin, who once threat- ened a suit to stop the damming of the river, have written the corps for its new plan for the river but so far it has not been made public. Col. Wilson told Chattahoochee Rotar- ians a public meeting would be held in Blountstown to tell the people there of the new plan. Chattahoochee, incidentally, is across the river from the new port of Sneads, which is cranking up to enter the shipping business. Many of its residents, recognizing its economic importance, already fayor damming of the river down- stream. . Wilson released the first information on the new n' irp" plan for the river at the annual meeting of the Tri-Rivers Waterway Development Association at Abbeville, Ala. in February. That association represents the farflung shipping interests of Georgia, Alabama and Florida. It recently retained a fulltime pub- licity secretary to present the association's story to the public. THE FIRST PLAN, presented at a meeting in Marianna last June, invoked widespread opposition from Florida environ- mentalists including Gov. Reubin Askew. The engineers were sent baqk to -the ." drawing board to devise a plan t;o prbVide ' the nine-foot year round channel without damaging the environment or forget it. Those alternate plans called for from two to four dams on the river with a series of dikes and canals entailing the flooding of thousands of acres of lowlying woodlands this column is due.

Wilson said at Chattahoochee the new plan to be submitted soon would elimi- nate the need for such widespread flooding. He said the problems created from dredging, which the corps does now to maintain the channel, are more serious than those created by the proposed dam. Two dredges are working fulltime to keep the river channel open now, he said, due to the 47-foot downfall of the river from Chattahoochee to the Gulf. "One dam at Blountstown would serve as a breakwater," he said. "It would allow the channel to stay open longer with about half the dredging problems." He said the new corps studies will show that a dam at Blountstown would help and not hinder the oyster industry on Apalachi- cola Bay where more than 85 per cent of Florida's oysters are grown. "The dredges are much more harmful- to the oyster beds than a dam would be," he said. WILSON SAID the only problem of the environment the corps has not successfully worked out is the spawning of the striped bass that come up the river each year. "We're still working on it," he said, "but so far we have not been able to devise a way to get. them upriver over a dam." Although it was little noticed in the furor of opposition to the corps damming plans at the Marianna meeting, several representa- tives of Florida government and commerce qualified their opposition to the dams. U. S. Rep. Don Fuqua, State Rep. Wayne Mixson, and several chamber of commerce spokesmen said they could not approve the engineers' plans as they were then, but they wanted them to go back and devise one that would compromise between economic needs and damage to the environ- ment. Alabama Gov. George Wallace, in a statement, embraced that philosophy also. THE APALACHICOLA RIVER, lying entirely in Florida, connects the Chattahoo- chee, Flint and Columbia Rivers of Georgia and Alabama to the Gulf of Mexico. The only major Florida upriver port on the Apalachicola is the new one at Sneads, just below Jim Woodruff Dam. Georgia and Alabama have long had a network of major dams on their rivers. "'7' Ajiare'htly,a hlbthe r'fajor ilifronfation between :"Fibrdaf envliobmealists : and Georgia and Alabama shipping 'interests is in the offing. And with the noticeable relaxation of environmental controls in the face of the energy crisis, the outcome is no longer certain. I i FOR Size A78-13.

This week's article will tell how home- owners can control these plant parasites. Most parasitic nematodes of lawns can be effectively controlled through the appli- cation of nematicidal chemi- cals. Good lawn maintenance will help overcome nematode damage but eventually chem- ical control becomes a neces- sity in areas where nematode infestations are severe. Two chemicals are avail- able to homeowners which will effectively control lawn nematodes. The first chemi- cal is dibromocholorpropane (DBCP) which is marketed for homeowners under the trade name Nemagon. It is prepared as a water emulsion and applied as a surface drench. The second nemati- cide is called Sarolex. This material is a liquid nemati- cide formulation of the in- secticide called diazinon. It is also applied as a surface drench. For effectiveness of these materials proper application is essential. The soil should not be too dry or too wet. A moist soil absorbs the chemi- cals more readily and evenly. The lawn should be mowed, thatch removed' if possible and aerified to allow better penetration of the chemical Nematodes into the root zone. The liquid nematicides should be applied exactly as the rate recommended on the container label in about 50 gallons of water per thousand square feet of lawn surface. Another 50 gallons of water per one thousand square feet is next applied to wash the chemical into the soil. This step is necessary for proper control and means that one- half to one inch of irrigation must be applied to drench the chemical into the ground. If the entire area cannot be irrigated at once, treat small sections at a time so that water can be applied pro- perly. An annual treatment is usually necessary for good nematode control. The mater- ials may be successfully applied in the spring, sum- mer or fall. Response from fall treatment will not be obvious until the next spring. If nematode infested turf is treated, it will generally withstand stress conditions such as drought, low fertility, and cold weather better than untreated turf. A final word of caution. When using chemicals, read the label completely and fol- low all directions exactly as written, especially heeding cautions and warnings.
