FHA Office Makes Loan Money



Available Again for Oak Grove-


FHA State Director Claude
L. Green, Jr., of Gainesville
informed the County Com-
mission Tuesday night by
letter that loan money is once
again available for financing
of a water and sewer district
for, Oak Grove if the people
still express a desire for the
systems. The loan offer had
been withdrawn last year due
to the fact the District
couldn't sign..up enough cus-
tomers to adequately guaran-
te: the loan .under FHA
guidelines.
chairman S. C. Player not-
ed; that the City of Port St.


Joe is planning to survey the
area to include Oak Grove in
its water system under an
expansion program, if the
move is feasible, and he felt
the County should sit tight
untU the results of this sur-
vey is known. "We must
depend on Port St. Joe for a
water supply, anyhow, and
for disposal of sewage, so we
should wait and see what
they find out before answer-
ing FHA," he said.
Commissioner Walter, Gra-
ham stated, "The people of
Oak Grove have been built up
too many times in this matter


and I don't want them to be
slapped down again. I won't
agree to any plan until I see
it in writing."
Graham said he didn't fa-
vor the Board getting involv-
ed in any promises which
could not be kept in the
matter.
After a considerable dis-
cussion, the Board decided to
wait on the City survey be-
fore answering. FHA as to


whether or not they were
interested in the loan.
DEBT PAID
A letter from the Comptrol-
ler's office informed the
County its $21,000 debt for
payment of indigent Medicaid
payments had been withheld
from November through Feb-
ruary revenue sharing pay-
ments. The funds withheld
are being held in escrow by

Motorcycles Create A


Touchy Problem


The City Police and the City
Commission have a touchy problem
here in Port St._Joe.
The motorcycle craze has hit
Port St. Joe, just like is has
everywhere else. Police and City
Commissioners are not desirable of
being a "Scrooge" and forbidding
their operation in the City. Rather,
both bodies have encouraged their
< operation off the City streets by
those inelligible to ride on the
streets.
A big problem has arisen. The
kids of all ages on all size of bike
can barely be avoided at times on
any street in the City anyone
wishes to travel. The Police and
Commission are concerned about
this because it is illegal. It is
illegal because it is dangerous.
The Police DepRa
urally hesitant a.ou.L %" W
young children, even though they,
are disobeying the law and creating
a danger to themselves. Already,
they have taken steps on several
occasions to get the kids and their
cycles off the streets, only to meet


indignation from the parents.
As it appears to us, parents of
children with these motorized bikes
should supervise their operation by
the children or make sure they stay
parked. In many cases, where the
parent is not directly supervising,
the machines are gradually worked
to the roads, where the riding is
smoother. Either this is the case,
or parents are deliberately allow-
ing and encouraging their children
to break the law.
When some child of a tender
age becomes mangled or killed in a
cycle accident here in Port St. Joe,
the first howl which will be heard
will be, "Why hasn't the Police or
the City done something about this
before an accident happened?" The
answer is, of course, that the Police
and City can do nothing very
effective unless they have the co'*
operatiii of,T-ith i, parents, ,jp thj
matter. We know the kids get a
thrill out of riding the bikes. We get
no thrill at all out of writing stories
where they have been mangled up
or killed in a collision with an
automobile.


"Watergate"


Not to be upstaged by national
politics, Florida now has its own'
"Watergate"
Commissioner of Education,
Floyd Christian is being investigat-
ed by the State for allegedly giving
purchasing favors to his friends,
former business partners.
Mr. Christian has been in
trouble with the people almost.
since he first took office. Now an
investigating grand jury is search-
ing for a reason behind some of his
activities.
There is a great difference
between the alleged acts pf Mr.
Christian and those 'charges being
hurled in Watergate. Those charg-
ed in the Watergate affair, to a
man, testify to the fact they did
what, they did to prevent a m;an
they felt was unfit to serve from
being elected to the Presidency of
the United States. However mis-
guided, they were at least concern-
ed with the welfare of the nation.
In the charges against Chris-

Planning for 'Re-Organize
Pancake Days Troop 47


The Port St. joe Kiwanis
saw an interesting film pro-
duced by the Ford Motor Co.,
on the manufacturing of steel
at their regular meeting
Tuesday at noon. The film
showed the entire steel mak-
ing process from mine to
finished product.
The Kiwanians also made

May 4. Tickets are now on
sale for $1.25.

theft.


sees the common old
spectre of greed and


Maybe one of the reasons Wa-
tergate commands so much of our
attention is the *unusual motive
behind the crime. We're not ac-
customed to crimes being perpe-
trated "for the good of the nation".
We are more than accustomed to
crimes. being committed for the
good of the individual involved.
In Mr. Christian's case, he has
already decided he will not seek
another term. This is just as well
since even the hint of a crime being
committed in connection with a
public official leaves a bad taste in
the mouth of the voter, even though
the official be proven innocent.
Our school system in the State
of Florida has enough adverse
publicity to overcome without being
burdened with a Commissioner who
has had scandal linked with his'
name.


At Last
We Have Our
Own Streaker

Port St. Joe is now in the
swim of things. We have had
our streaker.
Two boys made an unsuc-
cessful attempt to "streak"
around the high school last
Friday afternoon, but were
caught with their-pants down
before they made the safety
of a hiding place.
Principal Ken Herring said
both boys received their just
rewards for their brief exhi-
bitionalism.


Parents interested in their
boys becoming active in the
Boy Scouts should meet at
the Scout Hut on 10th Street
JIonday ,night at 7:30 p.m.,
according to Sheriff Ray-
mond Lawrence, Scout repre-
sentative for the sponsoring
organization, the Rotary
Club.
Lawrence said a Scout-
master has been secured and
Troop 47 will be re-activated.
Monday's meeting is for
parents only.

Postal Clerk Examinations
Scheduled According to Costin


Postmaster Chauncey Cos-
tin announced this week the
opening of an examination to
provide a list of eligibles for
future hires in the Postal
Service.
According to the Postmas-
ter, applicants who take the
examination and receive a
passing grade will be placed
on a hiring register according


One fine summer morning
in 1922, me and Jimmie were
playing catch down by Mr.
Owens' store; A young man
who had caught a ride on the
Charocola truck from Apa-
lach came: over and intro-
duced himself as Tiny Tony
Farentina and asked Jimmie
if we could get up a team to
play against his club. I was a
visitor here in those days and
Jimmie did all the negotiat-
ing and t was decided that
Tiny's teAm would come over
the following Saturday.
Our line-up turned out to be
the following, known as the
St. Joe second team. The
catcher was Stetson Prid-
geon; Chalk McKeithen was
pitcher, Norton Kilbourn,
first base, Buck Montgomery,
second, Jimmie Kilbourn,
short stop; Tommy Owens,
third base; Ed Pridgeon in
left; Chauncey Costin in cen-
ter and Orin Miller in right
field. Buster Owens was the
utility man on the bench and
could play any position.
I won't go into details about
the game but we were pretty
evenly matched until Acey
McKeithen got to teasing our
pitcher and when Chalk got
mad that left foot would go
up a little higher and when it
came down the ball he threw
would look like an aspirin
tablet and pop into Stetson's

County

the State pending the out-
come of a suit by the County
against the State for the
funds.
The County received a
check for $1,720.75 in Febru-
ary for revenue sharing funds
due.
In another report from the
State, the County was shown
to have a credit of $198.80 in
the Medicaid fund.
OTHER BUSINESS
In other business items the
County:
-Made $600.00 available
for use by the Panhandle
Alcoholism Council. John
White gave a report of last
year's activities by the Coun-
cil in Gulf County with 37
'persons treated resulting in
progress in 17 cases.
-Received a report from
the Department of Pollution
control regarding the Coiuni


to grade for selection when
vacancies occur in the Clerk-
Carrier complement of the
Post Office.
The examination is written
and will require approxi-
mately three hours for com-
pletion including filling out
forms. Persons 18 years of
age or older, 16 if a high'
school graduate, are eligible


mit and fry.
We had them eleven to ten
after eight innings and the
first two in the ninth struck
out. The next man up knock-
ed a grass burner through me
at first and went on down to
second. I was mad with my-
self and the batter and every-
body else.
Next man up hit a hot
grounder to short stop and
Jimmie scooped it up apd
instead of throwing it to pie
he caught the runner in the
traces (trap) between second
and third. I ran over there to
help and when the rupper
tried to get back to second I
caught the ball and ran him
down and hit him so hard
when I tagged him he went
down and couldn't get pp.
After a little fight that lBob
Nedley and Pop West stop-
ped, we all shook hands and
made plans for a game in
Apalach the following Satur-
day.
Most of the first nine al-
ways watched us play and
never failed to give us helpful
criticism. They were a good
team and while I'n on' the
subject, the following was
their usual line-up: catcher,-
Henry Haven; pitcher, Hen-
ry Drake and Tom Smith;
first base, Bob Nedley; sec-
ond base, Alton McKeithen;


ty's land fill sites which
acknowledged the County's
progress in planning for elim-
inating the practice of using
areas where garbage was
buried in water and burning
at the pits.
-Received notice from the
Corps of Engineers that the
Gulf County Canal is present-.
ly receiving dredging main-
tenance. The fill material will
be placed along the seawall
at Highland View to replace
sand washed out by storms.
-IDecided to have the
Game Commission remove
an alligator in the stream
beside the Courthouse. The
Board members felt the gni-
mal would bite some child.
-Received a query frPm
the Emergency Medical Ser-
vice as to what had' I~n
done with the $10,000 given
the County to purchase- an
ambulance. The Board wr.ot
the Service that the county
needed two ambulances and
the money was being 1eld
until funds were available to
purchase two vehicles. ;,?'


to take the :examination.
The starting salary for a
clerk or, carrier is $4.65 per.
hour with periodic increases.
Civil Service retirement, sick
and annual leave, uniform
allowance, life insurance and
sick and health insurance are
some of the fringe benefits.
The closing date to make
application for the examina-
tion is April 10, 1974, accord-
ing to the Postmaster. Appli-
cation forms are available at
the local Post Office.


third, George "Pop" West;
left field, Frank Martini; cen-
ter, Acey McKeithen .and
right, Mike Smith. They took
pn all comers and beat most
of them.
The old ball park was
where the Colored field is
now. Saturday night after we
beat Apalach, me and Jim-
mie were celebrating and
swiped one of Uncle Max's
old International trucks and,
as it was bright moonlight,
we didn't bother to light the
carbide headlights.
We drove it to the ball park
and run it around the bases
about a dozen times. The
following Monday we were
shooting a game of pool and
Mr. West, who was deputy
sheriff of- calhoun County and
t. Joe town marshall told us
to get the hell out of there if
we weren't twenty-one and
jf we were, he'd "take us
down thar" and lock us up if
we didn't pay two dollars
street tax.
Needless to say, he won
that argument. "And one
more thing, boys," he said as
we were going out, "if you
buggars, had missed home
plate one time with that
damn truck the other night,
I'd a locked both of you up in
the callaboose."
We took off.
-KILLER K.


-The leak which has
plagued the Courthouse for
the past several years was
discussed again with no ac-
tion. The Board has agreed to
the fact the leak is coming
from the second story wall
where it joins the ground
floor and needs caulking, but
no order has been given to
have it fixed.

File Now For
Exemption
Gulf County Tax Assessor
Samuel A. Patrick said this
Week that Sunday, March 31
is' the last day for filing for
homestead exemption on real
property located in the coun-
ty. Patrick said all persons
#,is thing to file for homestead
exemption for their property
should come by his office
during regular office hours' or
mail' in their application.
The mailed applications
must be postmarked no later
than March 31 or the applica-
-tion will be denied.


Watching a special on TV the other night, I
saw James Whitmore come on with his famous
imitation of Will Rogers. I only caught it by
accident, since it has been my experience that
most of the "specials" are nothing more than a
filler to fill up some time on TV which there
was nothing else to fill.
To be fair, we in the newspaper business do
that too. There are times when there is an
empty space in a column or on a page which
there is nothing to fill. We can't leave the space
empty, no more than TV can just let the.
network run blank. So we reach for a filler.
As I said, it was by accident I caught
Whitmore, and as usual, I enjoyed it, since I
enjoy all of the sayings and writings of Will
Rogers.
At the end of his monologue, Whitmore
quoted a favorite saying of Rogers' where he
says he has talked with, poked fun at and
mocked nearly all of the big shots and:
politicians of his time but he never met a
man he didn't like.
The point I'm getting at is this. Do you
suppose Rogers could make this same claim
about our breed of Washington politicians of
today?
It would be a hard thing to do. It would
take some working at.

Speaking of politicians, I was involved with
one of Gulf County's best last Friday afternoon
for a little while.
George Tapper called me out to the
Country Club to take a few publicity pictures
for a kids fishing rodeo the Country Club is
going* to sponsor next month. George brought
one of the little fishermen, his daughter, Trish
and Bill Barlow, George's helper in the project
had brought another fisherman, his daughter,
Vicki, the poles and the worms.
George baited up Trish's hook and Bill
baited Vicki's. After a while, George tried to
deepen Trish's hook in the water by running
the cork up on the line. The cork was too loose
to stay where he put it, so George asked, "Does
anybody have a match?"
I know that you, like me, thought George
..only knew how. to make-.money.andjmane. vei
in the political world. I didn't think' lhereaiy
knew anything useful like how to stop a fishing
cork from slipping up the line, nor how to bait
a hook, or go deeper if the fish weren't biting
shallow. But, he surprised me. He knew all of
this. To show the vast scope of his knowledge,
he knew that a match stem was the proper
thing to reach for if the cork was slipping.
I'll never sell George short again.

We finally. got that shower we have needed
for so long. My luck must be turning, too, since
I had just put my tomatoes in the ground two
days before. Of course, I had also planned to
make my first trip after the shellcrackers
Saturday afternoon, too. It'll be easier to go
after the shellcrackers later than it will be to
either haul water to the tomato plants or plant
them over.

I saw a little article and picture in the
Milton Press-Gazette last Thursday of publish-
er Jim Martin holding an eight pound bass he
had caught. Martin said he had caught the bass
on an apple flavored salamander.
Willie worked at the P-G for a year while
he was going to college, and, among other
things, he described Martin as being sort of
crazy. Never having met the Milton mentor I
couldn't verify Willie's description. But reading
where he described the flavor of his bass bait, I
accept Willie's description. After all, when was
the last time you tasted your bass bait?
I use a sexy Yellow Sally or a colorful
Hawaiian Wiggler, myself when fishing for
bass, and so far as I know they are tasteless.

i Rambles
By W. C. Roche



One advantage of small cars is that you can squeeze
twice as many of them into a traffic jam.

The best some of us can expect on the day of
judgment is a suspended sentence.

Engineers are trying to build a car that will stop
smoking. While they're at it why don't they come up
with one that will stop drinking, too?

Diplomacy is telling your wife that her beauty
makes time stand still, instead of advising her that her
face would stop a clock.

A flea circus may be a good act, but it takes
termites to bring down the house.

Try shopping at Roche's. You'll be
glad you did.

Two More Wins


Port St. Joe entertained
conference foe Crestview last
Tuesday and came away with
a hard-fought 2-0 win over a
good Crestview team. Port
St. Joe was held scoreless the
first four innings, but pushed
across the go-ahead run in
the fifth.
Russell Chason led off the
inning with a single. He ad-
vanced to third base on a
passed ball by the catcher.
Kenneth Weimorts followed
with a base on balls. With
men on first and third, Cha-
son and Wei46rts executed a
forced balk play. When the
pitcher took his stretch,
Weimorts broke from first
base. The pitcher stepped off
and threw to second and
Chason scored from third.
This was the only run Reg-
gie Gilbert needed as he shut
Crestview out on five scratch
hits, while fanning 11 and
giving up two bases on balls.
The Sharks scored again
when Luke Weimorts reached
first on an error. Mark Wim-
berly ran for Weimorts, steal-
ing second, advancing to
third on a passed ball and
scoring on an error by the
Bulldog shortstop.
Leading hitters for the
Sharks were Russell Chason
with two hits and Kenny
Weimorts with one. The
Sharks had only the three
hits.
Gilbert picked up his third
win and has not given up an
earned run all season while
pitching 26 innings.

BLAST APALACH
Port St. Joe traveled to
Apalachicola Friday and
came away with a 16-6 win
after a chance to play many

and three RBI's, Denzil Wei-
morts with two singles and a
home run and two RBI's.

son each had two base hits

Reports

Being

Mailed

Students 18 and over get-
ting monthly social security
checks will soon get an atten-
dance reporting card that
should be filled out and re-
turned to social security as
soon as possible, according tp
Robert Latta, Social Security
Representative for Gulf
County.
Social security reporting
cards are mailed to students
getting social security pay-
ments about three months
before the end of the school
year. "The information on
the attendance report helps
us decide if the student can
continue to get monthly
checks," Latta said.
Delay in returning the
reporting card can mean a
delay in future social security
payments, he said.
Full-time students 18 and
over who remain unmarried
can get monthly social secur-
ity checks'until they're 22 if a
parent gets social security
payments or if a parent has
died after working long
enough under social security.
"A college student who
hasn't earned an undergrad-
uate degree can continue to
get social security payments
through the end of the semes-
ter or quarter year in which
he reaches 22," Latta said.
"If the school doesn't use the
semester or quarter system,
students can continue to get
social security payments
until their course is com-
pleted-or until two months
after they reach 22, which-
ever is earlier."
About 650,000 students in
colleges, high schools, and
trade schools get monthly
social security payments.
"Any student in this area
who needs help with the
attendance report or informa-
tion about social security
benefits can call,. write, or
visit any social security
office," Latta said.
The office for this area is
located at 1316 Harrison Ave.,
Panama City.

tury was gone. "This was to
be the century of utopia for
the American people. Instead
it has been a century which
introduced rioting, assassi-
nations, declining morals,
drug abuse, economic prob-
lems, government crisis. It
has become a century in
which we begin to ask, 'Can
Democracy even survive?' "
The speaker suggested that
maybe the American way-
free enterprise, representa-
tive government, and other
goodies have something to be
thankful for in the energy

crisis. "We have received a
warning that our natural re-
sources aren't forever. They
have their limits. It should
tell us something, when we
consider that the United
States, with six percent of the
world's population, consumes
35 percent of all the world's
production. We are entering a
new age-the age of short-
ages of natural resources."
Rev. Murray observed that if
the environmentalists did
cause the energy crisis as so
many claim. "I think they
did this nation a favor."
The big regret of the
speaker was that scores of

very least. But things hav6
changed and now a whole
class of students is decorat-

competition with singing as
her talent. She won district
competition earlier in the
year. We all have great con-
fidence in you, so get out
there and do it, Janet!
Everybody knows that the
Senior Class of '74 is the
greatest ever, so why not
help us have the best gradu-
ation ever? The Senior Class
is in desperate need of funds,
so we're sponsoring a basket-
ball game between the senior
girls and the women faculty
of PSJHS. The game is guar-
anteed to be a million laughs.
and the admission is a mere
$1.00 for adults and 50 cents
for students. Come on out to
the gym and see all the
thrills and excitement of a
lifetime packed' into one bas-
ketball game. :.The Senior
Class of 1974 needs your
support, and so do those poor
teachers that are going to be
battling it out with the senior
girls at the high school gym
tonight at 8:00. Everybody
come!
If a child comes up to you
and says, "Will you sponsor
me?", he's talking about the
March of Dimes Walkathon
to be held this Saturday.
Prizes will be given to the
children who get the most
sponsors and collect the most
money for the March of
Dimes. The cause is very
noble and the children are

sponsor a child, if only for a
penny a mile? So little does
so much.
The students in Diversified
Cooperative Training are
holding their annual employ-
er-employee banquet this Fri-
day night in the high school
commons area at 7:30. The
theme for the banquet is "An
American Dream." The Hon-
orable Billy Joe Rish will be
the guest speaker. The ban-
quet is strictly a student
project, which is probably
why it is always such a great
success.
The Port St. Joe High
School Band is having a fish
fry to raise funds for their
banquet. The fish fry will be
held in the commons area on
April 1 from 5:30 7:30.
Plates are only $1.00, and the
band will deliver them to
your home. Just think of the
fuel you can save: you don't
even have to pick up your
dinner.
Students from Florida A&M
University will be here Wed-
nesday. April 3. to present to
the school a concert choir
with a jazz feature. The con-
cert will be in the morning at
10:00. I'm sure that the hour-
long Concert Choir and Jazz
Lab will be a very interesting
musical experience. Sure
beats singing in the shower!
Speaking of jazz music, the
Key Club is co-sponsoring a
square dance to be held in
the commons area on April 4.
The Sunshiners, a local dance
group, is helping out. Admis-
sion is $1.50. When was the

In case your feet are reck-

starts at 7:30 p.m. Don't be
late.
Our track team deserves a
standing ovation for its per-.
formance in DeFuniak last
Thursday. The team came in
first place with 85 points
defeating DeFuniak, Crest-'
view, Chipley and Marianna.
Not only that, but the meet
was a conference meet. Con-
gratulations and good luck,
trackers! Maybe someday
you'll get to go Greyhound!
Well, we had a chance at
fame, but we blew it. Per-
haps this school could have
been the only one to refuse to
succumb to the now old-hat
fad of streaking (there's
something distinctly Indian
about that). Now those hopes
have been dashed. Anyway,
we've had our quota. Encore
performances could be not
only embarrassing. but also
boring. Like the old saying I
just made up, "Two is
humorous, three is a drag."
But then, perhaps streaking.
is the answer to the fuel
shortage!
There will be a Parent-
Teacher night at the high
school on April 8. Parents of
students in grades seven
through nine should come
between 7:30 and 8:30. Par-
ents of students in grades ten
through 12 should come bet-
ween 8:45 and 9:45. You'd be
surprised what you can learn
about your child from just a
ten minute talk with the
teacher.
Students will be glad to

Jimmy's Phillips' "66"'
I L---l^i--iii-i--i----


TALLAHASSEE-It might
well have begun in Genesis, or
maybe even before. But the
simple fact is that snakes have
never had a decent break in
the press.
This is not to say that the
average snake is particularly
appealing, and it almost goes
without saying that most of
us would find a close relation-
ship with one of these crea-
tures beyond the realm of
probability.
But it is, nonetheless, a
fact that most of us harbor
many untrue notions and
many unreasoning prejudices
against one of the most useful
of Nature's creatures.
Exothermal is a ten dollar
word meaning "taking heat,
or losing it, to the environ-
ment". It is the scientific
word that describes those
creatures the layman usually
classifies as "coldblooded". It
is interesting to note that
Florida may have more ver-
tebrate exotherms than any
other equal area in ithe world,
with 333 kinds of reptiles,
amphibians, and fish.
But while there are no
poisonous lizards in Florida,
and no poisonous am-
phibians, our state does host
four poisonous reptiles, and
all four are snakes. These are
the rattlesnakes (three kinds),
the copperhead, the cotton-
mouth, and the coral snake.
Yet, while the words "poi-
sonous snake" generally
r. strike fear into the hearts of
most of us, it is a fact that, of
the 2,400 different kinds of
snakes known, only some 200
are dangerously poisonous to


man.
Yet, most of us with any
good sense would like to
avoid being snake bit if at all
possible. But consider this:
during one four-year period
of study, 215 people in the
United States died as a result
of bites and stings. Of that
number, 86 died as the result
of bee and wasp stings, and
71 died from the bites of
venomous snakes.
The question seems to be,
is being bit by a snake as
terrible as time and legend
have made it? Your answer
might well be different if you
were talking objectively
about snake bite, or if you
had just gone through the
agony that is usually a part of
any venomous bite. But, in
either case, you would recog-
niz/e that your chances of
dying are not nearly what
folklore have made them.
For example, it has been
estimated that probably over
75' of bites by poisonous
snakes are not fatal in any
case, and that perhaps 98% or
more cases recover if ade-
quate treatment is given:
So what does all this
prove.' Just that once again,
mankind has turned a jaun-
diced eye toward an un-
deserving object of scorn.
When the good is weighed
against the harm factor,
snakes deserve to be con-
sidered as a valuable natural
resource, and not the devil's
advocate. It isn't easy to
recognize personal prejudice,
and it seems almost im-
possible at times to change it.
But it can be done.

Coal.

Remember when it was

a dirty word?


Several years ago we
converted our Crystal River
plant from coal to oil for
economic and environmental
reasons.
Then came the
international oil crisis. Less
and less oil available, at
higher and higher prices.
And the higher those
prices go, the more practical
coal becomes as a fuel to
generate power.
The problem is, with so
many utilities having
converted to oil, mining


companies cut back in their
operations.
We are now engaged in
a far reaching search for low
sulphur coal. When we have
located an assured supply
and arranged for its
transportation, we'll
convert Crystal River
back to coal.


Whatever we
can do to lessen
our costs and
reduce your bills,
we will do.

ging from the sunburn cases
around school, I'd say that a

There will be a Jesus

With the end of school

Blue Denim In Hot Demand; Makes Strong Bid for Market


GAINESVILLE Blue

Miss Nadine Hackler,.cloth-
ing specialist, Florida Coop-
erative Extension Service,
Institute of Food and Agri-
cultural Sciences, says blue
denim is one of the most
unique fabrics on the market
today.
"Produced primarily in the
United Srates, it. was origi-
nally manufactured as a low-
cost, durable fabric for work
clothes. Now it is in hot
demand around the world for
high fashion garments and
accessories. It has become
the universal fabric of our
times," says Miss Hackler.
In the U.S., demand for
denim far exceeds supply. An
estimated 450 million yards
are produced each year. The
fashion industry demands
more, but manufacturers
have no plans to increase
production.
The cost of denim has also
*remained stable throughout
the years. Top grade denim
can be purchased for 76 cents
a yard wholesale. This is a
price that few if any compar-
able fabrics can meet, Miss
Hackler points out.

GREEN GROW THE FLOWERS


Green is one of the least common colors in the flower kingdom,
and yet it is one of the most popular colors with flower gardeners.
Green as a color is uncommon because most flowers must contrast
with green foliage in order to catch the attention of insects for
pollination. For this reason blue is an uncommon color because
