New 3-Year License Tags Now On Sale You wo0 1 be just another number ir. e Motor Vehicles Department with your license plates which went on sale Monday. Registration this year will be made according to names rather than automobiles because of a new law which went into effect July 1. Tax Collector Harland Pridgeon said the new plates are available in his office. They will be sold until August 20. The new law extends the life of the auto tags from one to three years. However, the difference probably won't be noticed until the second and third year when a validation sticker will be placed on the upper right hand corner of the plate. A spokesman for the Motor Vehicles Department said the lew system is expected to save the state about $4 mil- lion a year and will "place the burden of responsibility for the tag on the owner." The state now pays 50 cents each for the plates, and that figure may rise with the cost of living and the cost of pro- duction of the plates. The (Continued on Page 6) Fire Consumes Mobile Home Wednesday Two fire alarms last Wed- nesday called the Port St. Joe Fire Department to action, according .to Chief Bascom Hamm. The first alarm sounded at 12:45 p.m., caused by a pan of burning grease in the Buddy Wood home on Garri- son Avenue. Hamm said only smoke damage resulted from the blaze. Wednesday afternoon at 5:30 p.m., a second alarm called the Department to Howard Creek, where a mo- bile home home was on fire. Chief Hamm said Jimmy Hutchison of Panama City was filling his gasoline lan- tern inside the mobile home in preparation for a night .of cat fishing. Hutchison said he spilled a little of the gas on the table while filling the. lantern and when he went to light it, the table blazed up. Hutchison said he barely had time to get out of the mobile home. THE HARDSTARS, pictured above, won the Major League championship for the second year in a row. They were awarded the first place trophy Friday night by league president Bill Brown in an awards ceremony following the All-Star games. The team is, front row, left to right: Gerald Shearer, Tim Stutzman, Parion Mims, John The big $350,000 experiment here in Gulf County will begin its acid test Friday morning when the big gates are opened and the process begins of drastically lowering the water level in the Dead Lakes at Wewahitchka. Three huge gates, adjacent to the Dead Lakes tumbler dam will be opened, allowing the Dead Lakes water to be lowered considerably. The reason for the drainage pro- gram is to expose water weeds and plants to the sun- light in the hopes it will kill the weeds. Plans are to drain the lakes periodically to con- trol the weeds in the future, should the plan work as it is expected to. 31 Will Die Over Holidays An estimated 31 persons may not survive the traffic crashes occurring on Flori- da's streets and highways during the 102 hour Fourth of July holiday period the Flor- ida Highway'Patrol said this week. The official traffic count begins at 6:00 p.m., Wednes- day, July 3 and ends at midnight, Sunday, July 7. Colonel Eldrige Beach, di- rector of the Florida High- way Patrol said, "Because our experience shows that intensive- .-raffic law en-, forcement efforts have a sub- staritial impact on drivers, the Patrol will be putting forth every effort to help reduce traffic crashes during the holidays." With a saving of almost 50 lives each month in 1974, mostly due to drivers volun- tarily obeying the 55 maxi- mum speed limit imposed due to the fuel shortage, the Patrol asks for continued co- operation from the driving public. Drinking drivers and dri- vers with the heavy foot will be a special target for troop- ers during the holiday period. "Lives can also be saved if motorists will use safety belts at all times and exercise caution by driving defensive- ly to avoid the errors of others," concluded Colonel Beach.

Star photos Representative William J. Rish said this week, "Tri- County permits which are required by salt-water fisher- men are useless and worth absolutely nothing." He fur- ther said, "Even though it does not cost anything on the part of the fishermen, it causes confusion and aggra- vation. I have discussed this matter with officials of the Department of Natural Re- sources, and they have sug- gested that the law dealing with this permit should be done away with." Rish has requested that the Department of Natural Re- sources prepare the neces- sary amendment to repeal the law in the next session. Weeds have been choking up the lakes and drastically affecting the fishing for. the past few years. The weeds are thought to have started growing in the lakes because of the dam which was instal- led several years ago to maintain a constant water level. Engineers claim exposing the roots of the plants to the sunlight will kill them off, at least for a while. The Dead Lakes Water Management District has gambled $350,000 on the engineers' opinion, by constructing a set of gates below the dam level to lower the level of the lakes by up to nine feet. The amount of water level reduction, of course, will be determined by the depth of the Apalachicola River. At present, the River is five feet on the Blounts- town gauge, so the drain program conditions are ideal at this time. Plans are to leave the gates open until fall, with the Game and Fresh Water Fish Com- mission making the decision as to when they will be closed again. A short ceremony Friday morning at the water level control site will mark the beginning of the experiment and will be attended by gov- ernment, Game Department and FHA officials. The pro- ject was financed jointly by the Game Department, the Dead Lakes Commission and the Farmers' Home Adminis- tration. The FHA participa- tion was a loan to the Dead Lakes Commission for half the cost of the project. The group of officials will meet at the Wewahitchka High School at 7:30 CST for a breakfast and then proceed to the dam for a final inspection of the project and opening of the gates. According to George Y. Core, who is in charge of the ceremony, .those in attend- ance will include Representa- tive William J. Rish, Senator Dempsey Barron, Harmon Shields, Department of Nat- ural Resources Director, Robert C. Lazor, state botan- ist, Earl Frye and Joe Blan- chard of the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission, members of the Gulf and Calhoun County Commissions and FHA officials. L. Davis First to Announce Lamar Davis became the first Gulf County candidate this week to announce his intentions to seek office in the September primaries. Davis, completing his first four year term as a County Commissioner said he intends to pay his qualification fee to seek re-election. Others on the County scene who have their terms of office expire this year, and who will probably seek re- election include County Com- missioner Walter Graham and School Board members Gene Raffield, William Roe- mer and Kenneth Whitfield. In addition to the local offices, members of the Leg- islature, the Cabinet and the Governor must face the vot- ers. The City-School Board sponsored recreation pro- gram is in full swing; now beginning the third week.

This facility is open Monday through Friday from 2:00 p.m. till 9:00 p.m. Ping pong, billiards, checkers, card (Continued on Page 6) Kids' Annual The new minimum wage law, enacted by Congress earlier this year, went into effect on May 1. Predictably, the law, for all its good intents, already is causing significant unemployment among some groups that need employ- ment the most. For the first time, domestic workers are included in the minim- mum wage provisions. There is no doubt that these low-income work- ers will find it increasingly difficult to find employment at the $1.90- minimum that must be paid them. And, as summer approaches, the Labor Department reports that, from all indications, teenagers find it very difficult to find jobs. One- key reason for low earnings among the young in the past has been that their employment has included a considerable element of on-the-job training. Now, however, they must be paid the same as adults and many employers will opt for exper- ienced workers rather than these youthful, inexperienced job seek- ers. Unemployment rates for the young are already far too high and PAGE TWO THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. WEDNESDAY, JULY 4, 1974 EDITORIALS.... Did Inflation Breed Hitler? It is probably safe to say that without inflation there would have been no Adolph Hitler. That sober- ing assessment of what runaway inflation can bring lends a special urgency to the recent warning of Federal Reserve Board Chairman Arthur F. Burns that "if the past . is any guide, the future of our country is in jeopardy" from infla- tion. Following Germany's defeat in World War I, and up to 1923, money became virtually worthless in that country. The professional classes, having no other source of income, turned to salesmen, workmen, or speculators. The entire middle class dependent upon small fixed incomes was virtually wiped out. Enter Adolph Hitler, the "sav- ior" who promised to avenge Ger- many's humiliation and restore its prosperity. The rest is tragic his- tory. Could such a thing happen in the United States? Listen to Arthur Burns, a man not known for over- statement: "The gravity of our current inflationary problems can hardly be overestimated. Except for a brief period at the end of World War II, prices in the United States have of late been rising faster than in any other peacetime period of our history. . "No country I know of has been able to maintain widespread econ- omic prosperity once inflation got out of hand. AAnd the unhappy consequences are by no means solely of an economic nature. If long continued, inflation at any- thing like the present rate would threaten the very foundation of our society." Although it is true that there have been contributing factors such as the energy crisis,, the primary blame for high inflation must be laid firmly on the steps of Con- gress. In the long run, members of Congress must be told in no uncer- tain terms that no longer will we stand for high-priced programs we cannot afford. When those messages finally hit home on Capitol Hill, perhaps a new day minus the danger of galloping inflation will begin to dawn in America. last year averaged three to four times the overall national unem- ployment rate. President Nixon warned last fall in vetoing the first minimum wage bill passed by Congress that,, unless a special exemption was made for hiring the young, a minimim wage bill would "delay-or even prevent-their start toward economic improve- ment and create greater demorali- zation for the age group which should be most enthusiastically involved in America's world of work." Employers face their own spe- cial problems from the new law. Farm workers' Wages, at a mini- mum of $1.30 prior to May 1, will go up more than one-third, to $1.80, by January 1, 1975. Their minimum will reach $2.30 by 1978. Workers in most other categories must be paid $2.10 by next January and will be paid $2.30 by January 1, 1976. The minimum. wage law must be respected and obeyed. At the same time, however, we urge Con- gress to take a hard look at its potential negative effects with a view toward altering the law in the near future if it appears necessary. Letters to the Editor Dear Mr. Ramsey: On Friday morning, June 28, I1 parked my car on the lot west of the Post Office at 9:10. I went to work, and at 5:20 came out and found some one in a blue car had hit my car and did about $200.00 damage to it. Doing that much damage to mine, they had to know they hit my car and I am sure they have yellow paint on theirs and some damage. If the driver would report the accident the damage to both cars would be covered by the Florida No Fault Insurance clause of the lia- bility policy. If the other driver does not report the accident, we both must pay the damage to our own auto- mobiles. Please, whoever struck my car, will you report the acci- dent? You might rest better tonight.

Thank you, Mrs. Bessie Goff Gulf Tax Roll Not Equitable -I-ierring Gulf County's tax roll is full of inequities according to Rodney Herring, who is a Staff Appraiser for the Flor- ida Revenue Department, in a speech to the Port St. Joe Rotary Club last Thursday. Herring said the State has recommended to Tax Asses- sor Samuel A. Patrick that he bring in professional apprais- ers to perform an appraisal of all Gulf County property on an equitable basis. "Pat- rick has refused to do this," Herring said, "and, instead, has elected to call on the Revenue Department for help to equalize the assessments through his own office. The Revenue Department is re- luctant to do this because it has gotten into too much trouble and received too much flack from this practice in the past," he said. Herring said the Revenue. Department was going to as- sist Patrick's office, reluc,- tantly, in making his re- appraisal. "Anyone who is familiar with Gulf County's tax roll can testify toits its inequities," Herring said. "A reappraisal is going to raise some taxes and cut others, but everyone will be paying on an equal basis", he said. The Revenue Department will use two crit- eria in arriving at a fair assessment of property, he said. The criteria to be used will be location .and value of property and the replacement costs of any improvements. He explained a depreciation scale which was used for older buildings. Herring pointed out that if anybody was hurt by the re-assessment, it would be the ones who are holding real property for speculation. "This type property will be assessed on a lot basis and not on acreage", he pointed out. Bob Fox was a guest of the club. Rolling Library Changes Its Hours The Northwest Li- brary System has add- ed some new bookmo- bile stops and has changed the times for some of the old stops this summer. What does that mean for Gulf County? It means that every other Monday (July 1, 15, 29; August 12, 26) a bookmobile will stop at Hardy's Grocery in Overstreet, 11:45 12:15 EST; at Beach Grocery in St. Joe Beach, 12:30 - 1:00 EST; at McNeill's Grocery in Indian Pass, 1:30 2:15 EST; at Howard's Creek on SR 387, 2:45 3:45 EST; and at Stafford's Gro- cery in White City, 4:10 5:10 EST. On alternating Mon- days (July 8, 22; Aug- ust 5, 19) the bookmo- bile will be at Staf- ford's Grocery in White City from 12:00 1:00 EST.

RAMSEY Frenchie and I took the week end off and went to Warner Robins, Georgia to help her parents mark their Golden Anniversary of marriage. I never knew I had so many relatives by marriage. It was sort of like attending a Shark football game and trying to get a cold drink at half time at a Wewahitchka game, trying to get to the refreshment table at the reception. And most of the crowd was relatives. It seems to me there is an epidemic of Golden Wedding Anniversaries here lately. I attended the reception given for the Temples recently to make a picture and counted at least four couples who had observed or were right close to marking their fiftieth year together. And I went late, after most of the crowd had already come and gone. Fifty years is a long time to live in the same house with one person. It takes more than a long life to make it, too. I remember the time when it was an oddity for a couple to celebrate 50 years of marriage. What with the current trend to have two or three mates in a life time, it may once again become an oddity, even though people are living longer. We're being invaded in the business district of Port St. Joe by Roy Smiths. First John Blount secured a Roy Smith to work in his furniture store, then Frank Hannon, not to be out-done by John, secured his own Roy Smith, provided, conveniently by his daughter, Fran, who married one. This might not seem much like an invasion to you, but when you consider that four years ago we didn't have any, you can see it will only be a matter of a few years until everybody in downtown Port St. Joe will be named Roy Smith if the present trend continues. You must remember, too it is just this type projection which decides trends in many things, such as who will vote Republican, who will live on a certain street, how many kids will be in school and so on. We managed to beat the Harris Poll to this bit of prediction and our projection is worth Magic Kingdom highlights festivities July 4, 5, and 6 by expanded firework shows each night at 10 p.m. The sparkling aerial bonanza can be seen from all. sections of the Vacation Kingdom. Copyright Walt Disney Productions. If you've noticed its easier to get gasoline in Gulf County these days, when and where you want to, thank your Representative, William J. Rish. Some how or other he managed to get us a sizeable increase in allotment at a time when the bulk of the state's allocation was going to South Florida to alleviate the long lines which plagued that part of the state during the Winter and early Spring. If old Bill could only'be as effective in bringing the price back down to where it was he could make many points. I got an invite from George Core the other day to attend a breakfast in Wewahitchka Friday morning and attend the formal opening of the gates which will start the draw-down of the Dead Lakes. George asked what I wanted for breakfast. I told him I was accustomed to eating broiled pork chops, two soft boiled eggs, a dab of tupelo honey and hot home-made biscuits. George said, "I'll put that down and remember it." I'll tell you if he delivers. It looks like this will be the last Fourth of July where fireworks will be sold. Of course, their sale in Florida has been banned for many years, but some parts of the U. S. can still buy the pyrotechnics. It's a funny thing. My grandsons, young though they are, know what fireworks are and have a desire to see them set off. It seems a pity it's found necessary to outlaw the manufacture and sale of fireworks in the U. S. I know they're dangerous. I know they will blow your hand off. Cars are dangerous, too. So are step ladders, hammers, sewing needles, glass, tin cans, bath tubs, loose carpets, careless fly fishermen, garden hoes and rakes, and any number of things you can mention. Life is dangerous, but nobody in his right mind would suggest cutting off the practice of having children as a means of protecting the people from accidents, hurts or misfortune. Personally, I would like to see the manu- facture of fireworks continue but limit the powder load so kids could enjoy them on the holidays they have become associated with. Then, maybe Florida would reconsider its law prohibiting the sale in the state. It seems a shame to outlaw,-0something which gives kids so much enjoyment. If we're thinking of the kids and possible damage to them in this *thing, let's outlaw mini-bikes. They do just as much, if not more, damage.

Those Yankees Like That Florida Living Who moves to Florida and where do they come from? According to the Florida Chamber of Commerce, more * than 65 per cent of Florida's population moved to the state from somewhere else, and in the latest tally-the 1.1 mil- lion persons moving here in the 'five years prior to the '1970 census-the largest group still comes from north of the Mason-Dixon line. The Chamber's Weekly Business Review, released last week, said recent census reports show 388,704 persons, 33 per cent of all newcomers to Florida during that five year period, were from New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl- vania and the New England states. In fact, the Review said, New York sent more people to Florida than any other area, 183,000 persons. Ohio sent the second highest num- ber of new residents to Flor- ida, 81,000, and along with other midwestern states pro- vided a total of 315,149, or 27 per cent of the migrants to the state, during the five year span. Persons from Georgia, Vir- ginia, Texas and other states south of the Mason-Dixon numbered 363,852, or 31 per cent of the 1.1 million. Geor- gia supplied more than any other southern state with 68,- 000 former residents who moved to Florida. The Review said that 50,000 Californians became Flori- dians between 1965 and 1970, more than any other western state. The total for all the western states was 91,000, or 8 per cent. Has Poem Published Anita Mamoran of White City recently received word from the Chairman of the Board of Judges of the Amer- ican Poetry Press that one of her poems has been selected to be reprinted in an addi- tional anthology. The poem, "Life and I", was originally published in the national anthology Young America Sings in the spring of this year. Anita entered the poem as one of her pro- jects in the Creative Writing class taught by Mrs. Mar- garet Biggs at Port St. Joe High School. This additional anthology contains the best of the best and is a singular honor for any poet. Mrs. Thomas S.

Art Show Planned for '75 The Gulf Art Association will provide art lovers in the area an opportunity to parti- cipate in the activities of the Gulf County Golden Anniver- sary Celebration June 6-14, 1975. Early indications are that those who are interested in arts and crafts will not only be able to enjoy the works of others, but will also be able to display their own artistic creations. For those who love art but are lacking in talent, many works of art are ex- pected to be placed on sale. Preliminary planning calls for three different types of art shows. One type of show will be in Wewahitchka, a different type will be in Port St. Joe and a third classifica- tion of art show will be dis- played in Mexico Beach. The Gulf Art Association expects to offer a sidewalk art show in one location, a show where artists will be able to sell their individual creations, and a show where entries will be judged. As plans for the various shows are finalized, more details will be publicized.

Robin- son, Social Security Field Representative for Gulf County, said this week. "This is true even though domestic worker's earnings were first covered by social security more than 20 years ago." Domestic or household workers include maids, cooks cleaning women, gardeners, handymen, etc., who do household work in or about a private home. These em- ployees' earnings 'must be reported for social security coverage if they are paid $50 or more in cash wages in a calendar quarter. The employee and employ- er have no choice about this. The wages must be reported Sf just as any other type of earnings. The employer may deduct 5.85 per cent from the t worker's cash wages in 1974, or he may want to pay the household worker's part of the tax. himself. The employ- er pays an equal amount. Form 942 is used to report the wages to Internal Reve- nue Service.

Under the new system owners will not get different plates each time they get another car or trade their old one.. However, the cars must be of the same comparable size and weight in order to keep the same tag. The transfer fee for this type of trans- action is $4.50 plus a 50 cents service charge.

Passing Can be A Deadly Act The simple act of overtak- ing and passing another mo- tor vehicle often leads to deadly consequences said the Florida Highway Patrol to- day. Colonel Eldrige Beach, Pa- trol director said, "There are very few things as frighten- ing as suddenly seeing ano- ther vehicle coming directly at you on your side of the road." Patrol records only indi- cate the instances in which a collision occurred; however, there are countless thousands of times where the drivers managed to avoid an acci- dent. While it happens more often in the hilly areas of the state, many occur on straight' level highways where the offending drivers have unli- mited vision. When you see a vehicle coming at you on your side of the road, the Patrol recom- mends that you never drive to the left shoulder of the roadway because the oncom- ing driver-will probably cut back to his right as soon as he reAlizes that he is about to have a head-on collision. You 'should use your brakes, blow your horn, if you have time in case he may be sleepy, and attempt to move to your right. Even on a multi-lane highway with traffic on your right, it is better to dent a fender of the car in the outside right lane than to have a head-on collision. Colonel Beach concluded by saying, "Don't be guilty of trying to pass other vehicles when there is not enough space or time. Always be prepared to take evasive ac- tion when you see an oncom- ing vehicle cross the center line into your lane., Don't take it for granted that he will pull back into his lane becauseshe could be drunk, sleepy, have poor depth per- ception, be ill or just be a plain road hog." z*-4 ---- --. m - S'< Some people believe that if a hen runs into the house it presages a visitor--other than the hen!

Dick Stone Is Coming Here U. S. Senate candidate Richard (Dick) Stone will be in Port St. Joe next Thursday afternoon for a old fashioned .fish fry and campaigning, according to Stone's cam- paign manager, Jesse V. Several Little League, coaches and officials discus- sed with the Woody Woodruff Baseball Clir.:c managers last Sunday the possibility of holding, a baseball clinic in Port St. Joe by the Woodruff Organization. The clinics are held in Tallahassee at Levy Park each week at present. The Woodruff Organization told the local league coaches that a clinic could be held in Port St. Joe in early August if enough parents were inter- ested in sending their boys to the Clinic. The Clinic would be held from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. each day for five days in the local city baseball complex between 8th and 10th Streets for ages eight to 13. The next step in organizing the clinic will be for parents to indicate their interest in the boy's attendance. Cost of the clinic would be $25.00 per week per boy. Any parents who are interested should contact Mike Scott at the STAC House on 8th St. any day from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 Stone. The fish fry will be free, according to Stone, and will be open for all to attend. p.m. Parents will be asked to pay a $5.00 deposit to indi- cate willingness when they sign up. If the clinic is not held, the money will be re- funded to the parents. Port St St. Joe would have to have in the neighborhood of 50 boys in order to bring the clinic here. The Little League coaches are interested in the clinic- as not all coaches are able to teach the best fundamentals of baseball due to lack of experience in the field. The League believes that any boy should learn as many funda- mentals as possible to secure his greatest opportunity to enjoy baseball. If you are interested in your child receiving instruc- tion, sign up as soon as possible.

Frye, Jr. Director ,-i GAME AND FRESH WATER FISH COMMISSION TALLAHASSEE-Remem- ber those plaintive words, woodsman spare that tree? Remember those plaintive .words, woodsman spare that tree? In these days of rapidly diminishing forests and wild lands those words seem to have a hauntingly prophetic ring to them. But recently an example of unexpected preservation of wildlife habitat was passed on to me, and I believe the story is worth repeating. This friend of mine, the one who related the story, claims to have more than his share of the ability to pro- crastinate. For years an old dead tree had stood near the beach on the two acres of earth that, he calls home. He knew there was no life left in the tree, but despite countless urgings from his better half he had put off cutting down the old behemoth. But finally one day, in what he described as an un- usual burst of enthusiasm, he decided the time had come to fell the lifeless giant. With chain saw, axe, ropes and ladder he set out to bring the dead tree down. But he emphasized that although the tree was dead, it was still sturdy and strong and provided no threat to anyone around. And this, he had said to himself, was the reason he had.put off cutting it down for so long. Well, as he tells it, he had no more than set the ladder against the tree, ready to go up and fell some of the bigger branches, than a hen wood duck poked her head out of a previously unnoticed hole far above, surveyed the situation, and flew away. My friend is one of those many who have a profound respect for the natural world, and he considers his passage through life to be a privilege, rather than a right to pillage his heritage. So carefully he climbed to the spot where the wood duck had appeared, looked in and saw that she had established a home in the still strong heart of the dead old tree. It took him only a moment to retreat, his mind made up to the. fact that as long as it was sturdy, the old tree would stand. But that was only the beginning of his story. He said that that experience had awakened him to the fact that he was missing the world that was going on all around him. So he started looking, and he tried to get his wife .and young ones to see the things that he was finding. Together, as a family, they learned that what may not be aesthetically pleasing to urban man, may provide home and breeding ground to some wild neighbors. A brush pile, out of the' way and unobtrusive was home to a family of rabbits. And a hedge row, a little thicker than a good yard man might have trimmed it, provided nesting area for a BID NO. 161 The City of Port St. Joe, Florida, invites bids on-the following described pipe: 600' of 2" galvanized pipe Bids shall be sealed in an envelope and plainly marked "Bid No. 161".

A section of beach left in its natural state was a haven for many unseen, but frequently heard creatures. And the fallen tree branch that had come to rest just off shore was excellent habitat for breeding and spawning fish. And so, according to my friend, his home might not have qualified for what some would have considered the best .kept place in the neigh- borhood.

Renfro, Owner. -s- Willie W. Renfro Florida Extension Home- makers have rallied to the cause of the Energy Crisis. Since the first of the year, they have prepared and dis- tributed booklets containing energy saving ideas on cool- ing, heating, lighting, laun- dry, cooking, cleaning, water heating, gardening, insula- tion and how to dress for warm weather and cool weather, says Miss Lora Ki- ser, home economist, Florida Cooperative Extension Ser- vice. The booklets have been placed in doctors' and den- tists' offices, beauty shops, libraries, and chambers of commerce. Each booklet con- tains a cover letter signed by the State President of the Florida Extension Home- makers, the State Citizenship Chairman urging people to practice good citizenship by conserving energy. Cards on how to conserve energy have been supplied to hotel and motel managers. These 3" X 5" cards are attractively designed with the National Extension Home- maker emblem and Energy 'Crisis emblem in the top corners. Originally the cards were planned for small, fam- ily-style motels, but some of the larger motels learned, about the cards and asked to have some also. More than 35,000 cards have been sent out for distribution, with 10,000 of these in both English and Spanish. The booklets and cards have met with great success. In Brevard County, when the Homemakers had placed a booklet in the community college library, they had a request for seven more cop- ies. These booklets were used by 93 college students for their research on the energy crisis. A Jacksonville doctor has asked for extra copies. In Pensacola, one large manu- factured requested a copy for each of his 200 or more employees. Miami hotels were delighted with the cards, which were printed in Spanish and English, because they hosted so many South American conventions. The demand for the cards and booklets has been so great that counties are still assembling and distributing these materials. More than 200 programs on the Energy Crisis have also been given to some 5,500 people. The Shawnee Indians used to dip a buffalo tail' in water and shake it gently to produce rain.
