Inspection has been made 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. of the ponds at the Club and all ponds are loaded. All club members' children and their invited guest will start fish- ing at 9:00 a.m. Saturday. The committee is expecting over 100 kids. Four trophies for the girls, and four for the boys will be given away, for the largest fish and also the largest number. The committee is expecting, to feed 450 people at noon with a free shrimp and 'fish dinner served next to the club house on the course. Serving as chairman of the Rodeo is Jimmy Herring, with Billy Barlow as vice- chairman. C. W. Roberts is heading up the cooking com- mittee, Mrs: Mary Wall the serving committee, and Jerry Daniels is serving as chair- man of the cleanup commit- tee: Special appreciation is given to the news media of Gulf and Bay counties for giving such excellent publi- city, and special thanks to Jbok Patrenos, who is fur- nishing the shrimp, and Gene Raffield who is furnishing the fish. 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 Mrs. Pate Is Taken by Death Mrs. Eva L. Pate, resident of 626 Madison Street, Oak Grove, age 72, died at 12:10 p.m. April 13 at Municipal Hospital. 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.

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- (Continued on Page 2) High School Honor Roll Students for 4th Period Bubba ilarmon lets fly with one of his fast balls, which even the camera, taking the picture at 1-1000th of a second was unable to freeze. Star photo 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."

School 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. Secretary of State Richard Stone talks Stone is Jesse V. Stone, of Port St. Joe, who with the people who came to greet him tO arranged the visit and Mrs. Myrtle Childers. Port St. Joe last Thursday morning. With Star photo 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. taxes are due, revenUe .to whom 200 March In 20 Mile Hike -ver 200 walkers were ready to give their time and feet for the 20 mile Walk-A- Thon. One hundred and nine- ty tired weary and worn out Walkers, paced across the finish line. Dot Williams served as a capable chairman of the Walk and put much devotion revenue is due." 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. into the task. Others contri- buting to the Walk's success are members of the Garden Club for making sandwiches for lunch; both Beta Sigma Phi sororities for making sandwiches and for manning the rest stops. Others instru- mental in promoting the Walk were Donna Ray for her continuous help in all areas of the Walk, and the organizations and merchants which contributed donations. Walkers are urged not to turn in any cash. A collection box is at the Florida First National Bank, and cash must be converted into money orders. If checks are made out by the sponsor, be sure it is made payable to the March of Dimes. Winners will be announced at a later date. - I I 11 `; 4JU Miss (Cathey Carlsten, president of the Key Club presents a check to Mrs. Bobby Lightfoot. left, for the Heart Fund.

ADMINISTRATOR HIRED After a considerable search and interviews held with at least a half dozen applicants, the City Commission voted to employ Richard A.

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 boats and me and Philip and Dr. Dykes went out to see if he was really dead. He was. I sent a cablegram to Havana 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. "'The newly announced sale in- volves 2,330,638 shares of bank holding company stock, 24.7 per 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. -KILLER K. 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 Heart Crusade Is Success 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." .I:I.-~ Notes From Ambassador duPont Estate Is Selling Florida Bank Shares to New Corporation THE'STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla.

RAMSEY 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.

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. the brief but momentous his- tory of Florida's Constitution City, St. Joseph, located on the St. Joseph Bay about one mile from the present city of Port St. Joe. It has served this area well, and during this time has touched the staff have been getting the Museum ready for Gulf County's Golden Anniversary cele- bration next year. Constitution, recently placed in the museum. With Mrs. Brinson is Dick Boyer, curator at the Museum. STHE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 1974 PAGE SEVEN At ConstitutiorrMuseum 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 Miss Jennifer Dyer puts the finishing touches to a new display at the Museum. Star photos Last Rites Held for W. D. Richardson William David Richardson, 82, of Jacksonville, died Friday morning, April 5, fol- lowing a brief illness. Mr. Richardson, formerly of Live Oak, was a veteran and a member of the Ameri- can Legion. He is survived by three sons: R. B. Richardson of Port St. Joe; Franklin D. Richardson, Gainesville; and James C. Richardson of Jacksonville; a daughter, Jo Ann Brady of Lakeland; a brother, Linton A. Richard- son, Hawthorne; four sisters: Mrs. Bertha Hunt, Jackson- ville, Mrs. Virgie Bonar, Jacksonville, Mrs. Pearl Martin, Hawthorne and Mrs. Erma Townsend, Bell; and six grandchildren. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon in. Live Oak with interment in the Live Oak, Cemetery. i St. Clair Funeral Home was in charge of all local arrangements. early railroads. Here we find 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. EI A1f']isoeII Priced as shown at Firestone Stores.

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. quantity rightsreserved A S VA,), ~Lt4 IMEATE Tender Beef Sirloin Tender Round Tender Rump Sausage Bacon Spare Steal Steal Roas 59c 59c 69c Ribs 89c $1.29 k $1.69 ( $1.69 t $1.59 Kotex Reg. or Super Sanitary I 12 pado ll^ NAPKINS Apkgs.98 Personal Size 4 bar pkg. , IVORY SOAP ,:, pkg.I Blue Bonnet Whipped STICK MARGARINE Peak TOOTHPASTE 4 I lb. pkg.: 594 oz. tube64< Downy Fabric SOFTENER Parade Bluelake or French Style Green BEANS ,,.I 96 oz. $ 08 Parade Grad'A' Sweet 88 Parade Fancy size A Peas 3 cansOQ0' ASAUCE 3 ..:o 3'~~ Af Parade WK or CS ,Corn GA.

But new research at the University of Florida indicates these foods aren't so bad after all. by Laura Geddie, Director of Instruction.

There being no further bus- iness, the Board adjourned to meet again April 2, 1974 at 5:30 p.m., EDT. ATTEST: J. David Bidwell, Superintendent J. K. Whitfield, Chairman. "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.

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 from the Port St. Joe 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.

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. 'The mental warfare can be 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! WY - 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.

Anderson serves with the 8th Communication Battalion at . the Marine Corps Base here. incendiarism may very likely agree.
