Deadline Is
Near for
Candidates

As usual; the City of Port
St. Joe has an election com-
ing up on May 14, with little
or no concern expressed.
Two Commission seats will
come up for election on the
second Tuesday after the
first Monday in May, as the
Charter stipulates, with qual-
ification books for candidates
closing next Wednesday. No
opposition has been offered to
incumbents, Benny Roberts
and George Wimberly, Jr.
This has been the norm for
the City of Port St. Joe in the
last few elections. The last
two elections weren't even
held because the people
seemed satisfied with the
Board serving and offered no
opposition.

City Commission Calls for Straw Ballot



On Expansion of Liquor Sales Hours


The City Commission took
the necessary step Tuesday
night to ask the people if they
wish to see some changes
made in the sale hours for
alcoholic beverages in the
City of Port St. Joe. The
question will be put to the
people on the regular election
date of May 14.
The question will be posed
in the form of a straw ballot
or poll, however; and will not
be a referendum. City attor-
ney William J. Rish said the
Board could not call for a
referendum (which would de-
mand that its results be

New Fire Station Taking Shape


Port 'St. Joe's new fire station is beginning to take
shape now, as this photo shows. The project lay idle for
nearly two months while waiting on the delivery of steel for
the building. When finished, the fire station will have space
for three trucks, office space and a lounge for the firemen.


The building was designed by architect Charl
Gaskin of Wewahitchka and is being built by J
Construction Company. The station is located o01
Avenue to the rear of the City Hall.

followed) on a question which
is given to them by law to
decide. In effect, the May 14
decision by the people will
only let the Commission know
how those who bother to vote
feel about the matter. It will
still be the decision of the
Board to make any changes
if any are made.
Last fall City bar room
operators asked for an hour,
extension of their open hours
to 1:00 a.m., if business on a
particular night warranted.
Later, convenience stores got
into the act and asked for
permission to sell beer and
wine on Sunday through their
outlets. Then, still later, the
bar operators came back re-
questing a third alternative
for the ballot, that of allowing
them to open Sundays at 1:00
*p.m.
These are the three ques-
tions which will be on the
straw ballot or poll on May
14. Bar room operators, who
have made the requests, are
to bear the expenses of the
poll or ballot.
TO BURN BONDS
The City Commission voted
Tuesday night to burn sever-
al bonds which have been
paid off by the City over a
period of years.
City Auditor and Clerk
Charles Brock said recent
payment of the last of the,
refunding bonds of 1952 left
the City owing only the bonds
against the hospital expan-
sion. The City isn't bonded
for the new Wastewater
Treatment plant, which is
secured by revenues the plant
will receive for treatment of
wastes.
Brock told The Star that
only five years of payments
are still owed on the hospital
before the City will be entire-
ly debt free. This situation
probably won't last for very
long, however, since the
Commission is now consider-

Successive No-


Hitters Thrown


Senior right hander Bubba
Harmon, who has been the
ace of the Port St. Joe High
School pitching staff for the
past three years, pitched two
consecutive no hit, no run
games during the past week
of play by the Sharks.
On April 6, Harmon fired a
no hit game against confer-.
ence foe, DeFuniak Springs,
fanning nine batters in five
innings.
The Sharks traveled to
Blounstown last Thursday-
and Harmon allowed the Ti-
gers no hits and no runs for
seven innings. He struck out
the first nine hitters to come
to the plate and ended the
game with 15 strike outs.


The fire-balling right han-
der now has a season record
of 7-0. He allowed five hits
against Tampa Jesuit on Feb-
ruary 23 and has not allowed
over three hits in any game
he has pitched since that
date.
This season, Harmon has
hurled 52 2-3 innings, allow-
ing 18 hits, three earned runs,
four total runs and has struck
out' 69 batters. His ERA is an
unbelievable .040.
Harmon said, "A great
deal of the credit goes to the
Shark defense. We have the
best defensive team this year
we have had in many sea-
sons. They don't let much get
by."

Time Is

Changed

Time for the beginn-
ing of school in Port St.
Joe will be changed
back to the old starting
time Monday, April 22,
according to an an-
nouncement released
by the Gulf County
School Board this week.
Port St. Joe Schools
had their starting time
set up an hour after the
Christmas holiday
break because of the
nationwide Daylight
Saving Time change by
the President. The time
change caused school
to start before daylight
under the old schedule.
Bus schedules will be
adjusted accordingly.

Stone Stumps the Saints


Secretary of State Richard
(Dick) Stone brought his un-
official campaign for the U.
S. Senate to Port St. Joe last
Thursday morning, in a
"meet the people" type re-
ception at the Motel St. Joe.
Stone's stop here was one of
several in a swing through
the Panhandle last week end.
While here, Stone hit at
three areas of concern to him
in national government to-
day.
He thought the United
States was being a "sucker"
to give low interest credit to
Russia and China while peo-
ple here at home were paying
interest in the area of 10


percent for borrowed money.
(The interest rate climbed
over 10 percent in two banks
before the week was out).
Stone also didn't like the
SALT agreement being nego-
tiated with Russia. He de-
clared the agreement propos-
ed would put the U. S. at a
disadvantage since, "We're
militarily weaker than Rus-
sia now. The agreement as
proposed would further wea-
ken our atomic strike ratio
with the Soviets." Stone quip-
ped, "If there was a Cuban
missile today, we'd be the
ones to blink because we
aren't strong enough. to do
anything about it."


Stone opposed the give
away of the Panama Canal
and the selling of large
amounts of phosphates to
Russia on long term credit.
"We should maintain -our
ownership of the canal", he
said. The unannounced can-
didate also said we face a
real shortage of phosphates
here at home for fertilizers at
the same time we are selling
it off in great quantities to
Russia on easy credit
terms."
The Secretary of State
spent an hour here in Port St.
Joe, talking with anyone who
would listen and listening to
anyone who would talk.

Campaign Season Is


S Officially Open


The primaries may be four
months away, but the election
season has officially been opened in
^ulf County.
We usually open the campaign,
eason earlier than other counties
because we are small. The candi-
-4ates usually pay their visit here
and save the high-powered last-
minute campaign emphasis for the
larger counties. Hence, we begin
our political season a little early.
t Secretary of State' 'Richard
(Dick) Stone opened our season
last Thursday with his visit to Port
St. Joe and a swing through many
of the small towns of the Panhan-
dle. Stone is an unofficial candidate
for, the U. S. Senate in hopes of
replacing Senator Gurney.
Hunters try 'to get into the
goods first on the first day of the
Aon-.-n.heI opeA of getting his;
haire'of gfar before t f'shot at
and scared away. Fishermen try to
get in the water first and get the
choice spots. We suppose politi-
cians try to get into virgin territory
to inake the first impression on the
voters, since first impressions are


important. We have rarely heard a
politician of the local or state
variety, tell us anything except
what we wanted to hear, so it
stands to reason the first one to do
that has the inside track.
We don't know yet, who all will
be in the U. S. Senate race,
although we suspect their numbers-
will be legion. Mr. Stone strikes us
as a fine man who is honest, as the
others probably are too. There's no
denying the fact that Stoneshas that
certain charisma which makes peo-
ple like him, so he may have struck
a big blow in the Panhandle by
being here first to get in his licks
and make the people like him first.
So, hold your hats, you will be
seeing more and more of the "little.
man's friend" in the days to come.
There will be no end of strangers
=.,t' ing to seem like old lost buddies-
in the space of an hour or: so over
the next four months. *
The political season may just
be beginning, but it will get sort of
crowded before the balloting is
done.


Why Pay Taxes?


Monday was tax day for Amer-
icans, and as usual, there were
those who belly-ached about giving
all that hard earned money to the
Government; especially when we
can think of so many ways we
could use the money and the many
ways we all" consider the Govern-
ment is wasting our money.
' At a time like April 15, we can
Probably legitimately ask the ques-
tion, "Why pay taxes"?
oWe read a fine reason the other
day,' written by a West Virginia
theologian, Rev. Nevin E. Kendell,
which made us ashamed of grudg-
,ing the few paltry dollars we added
to the $300 billions being 'collected
for the new budget year.
Th'e author quotes from the
13th chapter of Romans, where
Paul states flatly that government
is ordained of God and that those
who govern are serving as minis-
ters of God. Paul, speaking of a
Roman government not remem-
bered for its compassion, nonethe-
less adds that "for the sarp. reason
you also pay taxes, for the authori-
ties are ministers',of God .' Pay all
of them their due, taxes to whom.

Rev. Kendall adds, "I certainly
do not question our right and even
our duty to object if we believe that
taxes are excessive or unfair, or
used for a purpose that is improper
or unnecessary.
"At the same time, I suggest
that Paul's words should not be
dismissed too lightly. When we
object to taxes we may have good
reasons, but I suggest there is also
involved a failure to recognize how
much the quality of life that we
enjoy, and even our opportunities
to earn money, are dependent upon
the effective functioning of gov-
ernment. And I suspect there may
also be an element of plain old-
fashioned selfishness, a reluctance
to let our money be used to help
meet the needs of others who are
less fortunate."
Personally we had rather pay
the taxes than to be in a position
where we didn't make enough to
pay. In such a case, we hope you
pay plenty, so there will be enough
to help us exist, should the time
ever arise when we do not have
them to pay.

After a considerable search

the City Commission voted to

used to be, unofficially, tMe
ambassador for the Cuban
:fishermen who came into the
port out of bad weather. If
they stayed over 24 hours
they had to enter and clear
the vessel through the Cus-
tom House. Philip Wathen
was the man.
We got one boat all cleared
to leave the next day and
instead of leaving the captain
sailed into town from inside
Dog Island where they were
anchored, in his little dinghy
and told me he had a dead
man aboard. That did it. We
took one of my father's seine

Dr. Dykes went out to see if
he was really dead. He was. I

FINANCES GOOD
With half of the budget
year now gone,' the commis-
sion took a close look at their
financial statements Tuesday
night. In nearly every case,
the funds are being depleted
on an even basis, with most
.funds just shy of half de-
pleted.
Clerk Brock said the finan-,
cial picture looks good for the
remainder of the year and
reported revenues were about
up to expectations.


Edward Ball, chief trustee of
the Alfred I. duPont estate, said
Wednesday the estate will sell all
its stock in the Florida National
Banks of Florida Inc. to a new
corporation, Florida National Asso-
ciation Inc.
The sale represents the second
step in a plan by duPont trustees to
divest the estate of control of the
chain of 30 banks in compliance
with a 1971 federal law, which
stripped the estate's exemption
from the Federal Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956.
Ball previously resigned as
chief executive officer and director
of the bank chain and the duPont
estate sold ten per cent of the sub-
sidiary banks to their directors and
employees.

H. C. Brown Dies in Albany, Ga.


Friends received word that
Herbert C. Brown of Albany,
Ga., passed away Wednesday
morning.
Funeral services will be
held Friday morning-at 10:00
a.m. in the St. Marks' Epis-


and the owner wired me to
give the fisherman a. pau-
per's burial. I went to Apa-
lach in my pickup and the
County gave me a home
made coffin and Jim Putnal
and me took it out to the
Cuban smack on the Norma
May and put the man in it
and took him and the whole
crew back to town for the
funeral.
On the way we went
aground and damn near let
the box slide overboard off
the top of the cabin but we
finally got off and went on in.
The Cubans were all Catho-
lic and I couldn't get a priest
but a Methodist agreed to
preach the funeral. Philip
had hired Will Gray to dig
the grave of the side of a


copal Church.'
Brown was formerly man-
ager of the Southeastern
Pipeline terminal here in
Port St. Joe. He was trans-
ferred to Albany when the
terminal was shut down


sand hill in the cemetery and
when we all got there Philip
looked it over and told Mr.
Gray they just wanted to
bury one man and not the
whole crew. All Mr. Will said
was, "He, he."
It was quite a sad occasion
because the Cubans couldn't
understand English and we
couldn't speak Spanish ex-
cept a little bit I had learned
in high school. I don't
remember if we had any
singing or not. When it was
all over the Cubans all cross-
ed themselves and Philip told
me to come on back down to
the White Kitchen and we
would have another drink. I,
of course, refused.
See you next time.

cent of its total issue.
Ball said the shares will be sold
to Florida National Associates, Inc.
The purchaser, he said, has
three years to pay for the stock,
interest-free.
DuPont trustees wfll lose all
title to and voting rights in -the
stock upon approval of the plan by
the federal reserve system, Ball
said. Title to the stock will be
vested at that time in trustees
chosen by the purchasers.
Under the amendment to the
Bank Holding Company Act, the
Florida duPont estate had to divest
itself of the banks or of all its other
holdings, including the St. Joe
Paper Co., Florida East Coast
Railway and more than a million
acres of real estate.
Since trustees chose to give up
the bank chain, they must strip the
estate of its stock by Dec. 31, 1974.
Ball called the sale in the

public interest.
"The stock market generally is
depressed," he said. "The market
price of Florida National's stock is
depressed far below average as a
result of the board's order requir-
ing the trust to dump more than
two million shares of stock of
Florida National on the market
prior to Dec. 31, 1974.
"This plan will take those.
shares off the market and thereby
benefit immeasurably two deserv-
ing segments of the public: first
those persons who have invested
institutional and trust funds in
Florida National, and second, the
officers, employees and directors of
Florida National and their asso-
ciates who own almost one-tenth of
that corporation's outstanding
stock who will be protected from an
unrealistic drop in the value of
their investment."

How did things go at your house for the
Easter- week end? We managed to get along
quite well, in spite of the jelly bean shortage.
You didn't know there was a jelly bean
shortage?
Oh yeah about a week before Easter
rolled around, it was announced they would be
in short supply this Easter. I have it on good
authority they waited so late to make the
announcement, to prevent any scare buying or
, hoarding of jelly beans. Nothing aggravates a
small shortage (such as the recent gasoline
shortage) quite so much as scare buying and
hoarding.
I remember back in World War II a person
could barely find a piece of meat, a pair of
shoes, a pound of sugar or gasoline to buy -
caused partially by people scare buying and
hoarding. I know of a couple who wore out a set
of brand new tires riding over the countryside
trying to find some new tires' to buy because
they were going on the short list.
I hated to see jelly beans get the treatment.

I guess chocolate candy bars will get the
attention of the hoarders next. I learned last
week they are going to be increased in price up
to as high as 25c. Imagine, a nickle candy bar
selling for a quarter. According to my informa-
tion, the increase in price is because the price
of cocoa beans went sky high.
Already, a nickle Coke is 20c in many
places. I think it's all a conspiracy against
kids. The zero population people are so
determined to cut the birth rate, they are
making it too expensive for parents to have
kids. When you go to shelling out 20c for a Coke
and 25c for a candy bar, both necessities for
kids, that kind of smarts.

It's Spring. In fact, it's right smack dab in
the middle of Spring. Spring has changed.
I have been looking around for the past
week or so and I haven't seen a single kid
playing marbles or spinning a top. This is
customary spring fare, and to have it com-
pletely absent from the scene is shocking and
unbelievable.
When I wasg-a kid,, which wasn't all that
long ago, every kid had a sack full or cigar box
full of marbles he carried around under his
arm from game to game; A lively business
atmosphere prevailed with the trading of
marbles for aggies to have on hand for a
"shooting tall". An aggie was tough and
wouldn't break when you really squeezed the
pressure to it in trying to knock more than
one marble out of the ring at a time. A marble
which would hit another, knocking it from the
ring and just stop dead still, spinning around,
was much desired for a shooting marble.
And tops! I'll bet not one out of every 20
kids today know how to spin a top. Another
lively practice of Spring was to get in the top
competition. The unfortunate who had his top
stop spinning in the ring, left it there at a
target for the other top throwers, until it
was either broken or knocked from the ring.
Yes sir, the only thing which hasn't
changed about Spring is the show Mother
Nature puts on.

Changes Made


by Mrs. Ralph Swatts, Sr.
Since the Florida Museum
at Port St. Joe first opened it
its shiny new doors to Mr.
and Mrs. Public, December
16, 1955, nearly 19 years ago,
chags have been made
-renovations and additions-


inspired and promoted by
the St. Joseph Historical Soc-
iety. During these 19 years
The Star has carried many
such stories, including two or
three within the past year.
The Museum was founded
for the purpose of depicting

State Museum puts the final touches on a
new display at the Constitution Museum
here in Port St. Joe. Mrs. Ehrbar and her,


Mrs. Hunert srinson, long-time booster
of the Constitution Museum sits at the table
which displays a replica of Florida's first.


An old spinning wheel, such as may have been found in
Old St. St Joseph is shown in the Museum.


Program on Japan

Given by Raffield


A farmer owning two and a
half acres in Japan is a rich
man, Gene Raffield told the
Port St. Joe Rotary Club last
Thursday, in giving a report
on his recent to the Land of
the Rising Sun.
Raffield went to Japan on a
marketing trip sponsored by
the Japanese seafood indus-
try. While his main purpose
was to study seafood needs
and production of the nation,
he also studied the way of
living of the people.


"The Japanese ride the
train when they want to go
somewhere," Raffield said.
He said the Tokyo railroad
station sold 2,700,000 tickets a
day. "The trains are fast and
they run on time," he said.
In addition to his observa-
tions of the nation, Raffield
showed several slides he
made on his trip including,
Tokyo street scenes, temples,
parades, farms, and, of
course, seafood harvesting
and preparation methods.

lives of thousands of people
from all of Florida, from all
of America, and from many
other areas of the world.
According to Mrs. R. H.
Brinson, who worked at the
Museum at the time of its
opening and retired only
recently, registrations have
totaled 16,015, and many
visited the city for the sole
purpose of seeing the
museum and the old ceme-
tery.
The old city was founded in
1835 and flourished for a few
years. It was due largely to
the efforts of Peter Gautier,
whose picture hangs in the
building, that the convention
was brought to the city in
1838, at which time Florida's
first constitution was written
and signed. The Constitution
Hall was erected for this
event, as well as a number of
large hotels and other facili-
ties. Among the churches in
the area was a. Methodist
Church whose pastor, Peter
Haskew, kept a day-by-day
diary of his service to this
city and to Apalachicola, and
a copy of his diary is now in
the hands of the St. Joseph
Historical Society.
The city faced tragedy in
1841 when yellow fever enter-
ed from a ship commanded
by Captain Kupfer, who is
buried in the St. Joseph
Cemetery, and whose original
marker now stands in the
Museum enclosed in a lovely
glass cabinet.
The Museum today, in
addition to office space, a
reception area, and a large
storage room, has a sizeable
entrance, and area devoted to
early history dating back to
Indian, English, Spanish, and
French occupation, a Period
Room, a Constitution-Conven-
tion Room, a porch area, and
a Transportation Room. Here
we find the "Boom Town"
and life as it was lived in that
day by the well-to-do people
who occupied it.'Here we find

wall boards displaying photo-
graphs of some of the Signers
of theConstitution, Benjamin
Wright, John McGehee,
Thomas Baltzell,. Jack Mor-
ton, Robert Raymond Rldd,
William P. Duval (Florida's'
governor at that time) and
Peter Gautier.
We find a copy of the con-
stition in its entirety, and
another written on silk, hand
sewn and leather bound,
which was presented by the
late Joe Sharit. We find a
miniature of the Convention
Hall with the delegates in
action. We find a ship model
of that period and a 3 scale
model of an engine used on
Florida's first railroad, and
we learn the story of the

maps, charts, pictures, coins
and all sorts of artifacts,
many of them found in this
area and donated by local
people.
Yes, the Museum has had
another face-lifting, including
new signs, a new paint job,
quite a few new display
cases, boards, and tables,
and additional furnishings. In
the entrance is a lovely new
counter with glass top and a
beautiful matching desk and


chair of rich mahogany and
brass and the desk handsome
brass candelabra and ink-
well.' Above the desk is a'
scroll with the beginning of
the constitution. Many of the
56 signers may have worked
in just such a setting as this.
In the porch area is a rail-
road piling donated by the
late Sheriff Byrd Parker and
on cypress panelings are
mounted tools, kitchen uten-
sils, pots and other hardware
found in Depot Creek by dif-


ferent people. Here too is a
large cooking pot which may
have been used by one of the
hotels or in a private home,
and part of an ornate stove
which had been used in this
area.
Most of the furnishings in
the Period Room are new to
the Museum, a tea caddy
table, a muffin stand, a writ-
ing desk of Burl walnut and
mahogay, a Queen Anne table
and chair, a folding table,
another parlor.chair, and two


oriental rugs. The lady seat-
ed at the table wears a scarf:
which is over 100 years old,
the gift of Mrs. Horace Soule.
According to Mrs. Eliza-
beth Ehrbar, of Tallahassee,
the lady of Florida museums,
the Museum is now ready for
the 1975 Anniversary Celebra-
tion of Gulf County... Much
credit is due Mrs. Ehrbar
and her artist assistant, Miss
Jennifer Dyer, also of Talla-
hassee, for a job beautifully
done.

One boy looked up from the
banks of the Gulf County
Canal last Friday and said.
"look ma. it's snowing."
It wasn't snowing here in
balmy Florida. though. High
winds were making an imita-
tion dust storm in the vicinity
of the City's Wastewater
Treatment plant in the Canal
and Highland View area. But.
the material wasn't dust ei-
ther. It was a foam whipped
off the surface of the 80 acre
aereating pond, stirred up
by the extremely high winds
during the week end.


JR


__


LI _


City fathers received num-
erous calls about the blowing
foam, which was especially
bad in the vicinity of the
plant.
Plant manager. Bob Simon
said ordinarily the plant
would dissolve any such foam
before it got out. but in this
case, the pond, with its sus-
pected weak dikes, wasn't
full enough to operate the
system which eliminates the
foam.
Simon said the foam was
harmless. while admitting it
sure was a nuisance.

gers, french fries, and shakes
from those neon-flashing fast
food drive-in restaurants
have been called "junk
foods" or "empty calories"

sight of pimply-faced teen-
agers gobbling up greasy
foods makes their criticism
more believable. But new
research at the University of
Florida indicates these foods
aren't so bad after all.

"Our findings contradict
the popular belief that fast
foods are not good for you.
They're a lot more nutritious
than most people think," says
Dr. Howard Appledorf, assis-
tant professor with the Insti-
tute of Foods and Agricultur-
al Sciences at the UF.
He said a teenager ingest-
ing a "meal" consisting of a
hamburger, french fries, and
a vanilla shake can obtain
more than one-third' of the
daily recommended dietary
allowance (RDA) for most
nutrients as established by
the U.S. government.
His endorsement of bur-
gers, fries, and shakes is
based on laboratory tests
comparing the nutritional
content of these foods with
the RDA for various age
groups. The foods were pur-
chased from three national
fast food outlets in the
Gainesville area (Burger
Chef, Burger King and Mc-
Donald's.).
The foods were analyzed
for energy, water, fat, pro-
tein, carbohydrates, vita-
mins and minerals by stan-
dard laboratory procedures.
The foods were homogenized
and food value components
were measured individually,


Appledorf explained.
Appledorf's analyses show-
ed that a cheeseburger with
lettuce and tomato, fries, and
a vanilla shake should pro-
vide a teenager with about 30
percent of his daily calories,
81 percent of his protein
needs, 46 percent of his cal-
cium, 63 percent of his phos-
phorous, 49 percent of his
zinc, and 42 percent of his
daily copper requirements.
He noted, however, that
this so-called meal was mar-
ginal in iron. To overcome
this deficiency, he suggested
that the government double
the required iron enrichment
level in bread.
Appledorf, who holds a PhD
in nutritional biochemistry
and metabolism from Massa-
chusetts Institute of Techno-
logy, believes nutrition should
be measured in terms of how
well foods supply the body
with needed vitamins, min-
erals, and other chemicals.
For example, the body needs
amino acids from proteins,
but it doesn't matter if those
proteins come from meat,
poultry, fish or soybeans, he
said.
While burgers, fries, and
shakes can offer a "surpris-
ingly large amount of nutri-


tion," Appledorf points out
that such meals do not pro-
vide all the nutrients the
body needs.
"I'm not suggesting that
we make burgers, fries and
shakes the only mainstay of
our daily diet. You still need
to strike a balance. For ex-
ample, fruits and vegetables
will prevent vitamin A and C
deficiencies." he exnlained:
"It would be foolish-if not
illegal-for a chain to deter-
mine nutritional value from
one unit and then publicize
these projections for all units.

acceptable," he said.
Hfie said the fast food rest-.
aurant business has grown
rapidly in the U.S. during the
past 20 years, but little is
known about the nutritional
values of these foods.
"As more and more meals
are consumed away from
home, the need to document
nutrient values of typical
limited menu restaurant
meals is becoming increas-
ingly important, particularly
now that some of the national
chains are making advertis-
ing claims about nutrition."
The food dollar spent away
from home now accounts for
about 39 percent of the Amer-
ican food bill, and this
amount is expected to in-
crease to 50 percent of more
by 1985.










NOTES

High School
CARL GUILFORD, JR.


"Look! Up in the sky! It's
a flying saucer! It's an avant-
garde streaker! No It's
some nut jumping out of an
airplane with his suit on
fire!" And then Tex Flahrity,.
of the U. S. Coast Guard,
landed in Shark Stadium. His
suit was not on fire, though
the smoke flares that he
jumps with made it appear
so. The spectators of the St.
Joe-Apalachicola baseball
game rubbed their eyes in
disbelief at the unusual sight
of a paratrooper landing in.4h
middle of the field.
The man behind the scenes,
the pilot of the plane from
which Tex jumped, was Dan-
ny Raffield, also of the Coast
Guard. The two certainly
made an impression at the
game-so much of an impres-
sion that St. Joe won 14-0.
Maybe we should have a
jumper at every game Any
volunteers?
Gulf Coast Community Col-
lege is offering students
interested in environmental
studies a chance to work on
research projects. The pro-
jects will include collecting
information and making it
available to the community.
The course has quite a name-
Environmental Studies:
Phase II-Gulf County Hydro-
graphy. It will require after
school and weekend hours, as
well as at least one hour
during school. The course


will take a great deal of
enthusiasm and determina-
tion to succeed. It will be
opened to tenth, eleventh and
twelfth graders who have the
knowledge, and maturity, to
take it.. The course will be
offered only if enough stu-
dents are interested in it. If I
weren't receiving that plastic
sheepskin shortly, I'd be
awfully tempted to sign up.
Early to bed and early to
rise means that you stand a
better chance of getting to
school after the Easter holi-
days. Beginning, Monday,
April 22, school will start at
8:25 a.m. Now let's see-what
did I do with that alarm
clock?
The P.S.J.H.S. Quiz Bowl
Team will pit its combined
brain-power against that of
Bay High School's team at
2:00 p.m., Saturday, April 20.

seen on WJHG-TV, Channel
7, Panama City. St. Joe's
team members are Lila Gun-
ter, Rose Noble, Tavia Copen-
haver and myself, Carl Guil-
ford, Jr.
These are the last Easter
holidays for Seniors. Almost
everything is ready for grad-
uation: announcements are
in; caps and gowns are here;
pictures have been taken; but
there is really still much
more to do. Join me next
week when I'll bring you
more notes from your school.
Happy Spring!

Wave of Incendiarism

Sweeping State Forests


A wave of incendiarism,
reminiscent of the 40's and
50's, is occurring in certain
areas of Florida.
This fact is borne out by
recent forest fire statistics
.which show that 881 wildfires
burned 44,172 acres in widely
scattered areas across the
state during a two-week
period in February. Many of
the fires have been located in
areas where deliberate fire-
setting has not been a pro-
blem in years.
A fire deliberately set to
destroy trees and their bene-
fits is hard to understand.
Used in a spirit of destruc-
tion, fire is the forest's dead-
liest enemy,
Wildfires often don't stop
with woods but go on to
destroy property and even
homes. It is well worthwhile
to note the contrast between
malicious fires. and useful
fires called "prescribed
burns."
The important difference is
that one kind of planned fire
aids the forest. The other
kind viciously destroys it.
Under the right circum-
stances, fire is a friend of the
environment. The Division of
Forestry is aware of its bene-
ficial aspects. Skilled forest
rangers, with the proper tools
and weather conditions, can
conduct a "prescribed fire"'


to remove heavy buildup of
hazardous undergrowth, and
prevent a disastrous fire at a
later time. It is especially
effective in controlling
disease in young stands of
longleaf pine, in making
more palatable food sources
for many kinds of wildlife, in
making seeds available to
quail who are otherwise.
"weak scratchers" and in
improving the recreational
values of the forest. Pre-
scribed burns leave park-like
openness and can add to the
appearance of the forest:
Prescribed fires also aid in
natural regeneration of a
forest after the majority of
the trees have been cut. And
before young seedlings are
planted, prescribed burns are
a helpful silvicultural prac-
tice.
Even some fires produced
in nature (lightning-initiated
blazes) have been known to
have positive environmental
effects. For instance, sum-
mer fires that sweep through
the remote sawgrass of the
Everglades help to prevent a
dangerous fire condition the
next spring during long
droughts. Foresters in that
area have attempted to imi-
tate the work of Mother
Nature-only choosing the
time to set the fires under
their own terms and condi-


- tions.
Arsonists work against
Mother Nature, choosing the
times of high wind and lowest
humidity, in a purposefiUT
effort to destroy trees. For-
esters seek winds that will
help the fire move in calm,
low, rolling billows-fires
that will not harm pines or
reach,their crowns.
It depends on whether fire
is used by trained foresters
or deliberate arsonists as to
whether this great force is a
broom of tidiness or a sickle
of spite.
Families whose homes
have almost burned during.
the past few weeks due to
