* * THIRTY-SEVENTH YEAR, NUMBER 44 I Industry Deep Water Port Fine People Safest Beaches in Florida PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA THURSDAY, JULY 11, 1974 a m 15 Cents Per Copy Board Suffers - Road Agonies F Hearing Monday On River Purchase Plan A public meeting to hear comments on possible purchase by the state of approxi- mately 29,000 acres along the lower Apala- chicola River floodplain in Gulf and Franklin Counties will be held Monday, July 15, at 7 p.m. in the county commission meeting room of the Gulf County Courthouse here in Port St. Joe. "The proposed property is a valuable buffer, filter area and nutrient source for vast marine resources of Apalachicola Bay", said Harmon Shields, executive director of the Department of Natural Resources, in announcing the public meeting. He said the state is interested in acquiring the property, known as the Lower Apalachicola River Tracts, as environmentally endan- gered lands under the Land Conservation Act of 1972. Stressing the importance, of the flood- plain, Shields said the tracts help protect the valuable fishing industry of Apalachicola Bay. "The low-lying marshlands and hard- wood forests periodically flooded by the Apalachicola River support a diverse and important abundance of fish and wildlife, the director emphasized. He explained the nat- ural drying and flooding of the plains enable the fish population to expand- by allowing access to new feeding and nursery grounds during high waters. Written statements on the proposed acquisition will be received at the July 15 meeting and also not later than Saturday,, July 20, at the Department of Natural Resources, Room 680, Larson Building, Tal- lahassee 32304. Several candidates are shown qualifying for office at the Gulf County Davis, Jr., George Cooper, Sr., Walter Graham, Clerk George Y. Core, Courthouse Tuesday, July 9. From left are: Everitt "Skull" Owens, Otis Lamar Davis and Mrs. George Cooper. Star Photo Candidates File On First Day Five candidates were on hand in the Clerk's office Tuesday at noon to file qualification papers as the bell sounded to begin the race for the several government seats up for elec- :'-tion'in the Sieptember primaries. On hand to pay their fees on the opening minute were incumbent 1 County Commissioners Lamar Davis and Walter Graham. Davis will be going for his second term on the Board and Graham will try for his fourth term. No Gulf County Com- missioner has ever served for four consecutive four-year terms in the County's history. Opposing the incumbents on the first day were Everitt "Skull" Owens who will oppose Graham for District Four and George Cooper, Jr., and Otis Davis, Jr., both going for the District 2 seat now held by Davis. Before the opening day was over, Thomas H. McDaniel of Wewahitch- ka had qualified to seek election to the School Board in District 1. This position is now held by William Roemer. A second candidate, Mrs. Dorothy R. Forehand of Honeyville,. filed for this post on Wednesday morning. S** Recreation Director In Next City Budget It was a more or less duty meeting of the City Commis- sion last Tuesday, as the Board was interested in dis- posing with its business and then get down to the business of enjoying the holidays with -everyone else. Clerk Brock warned the Commissioners it was budget making time again and they should get their wishes in so financing could be figured out for the coming fiscal year. Commissioner James B. Roberts jumped right up at Brock's suggestion and said he would like to see a full time recreation director hir- ed by the city in the new year. He agreed, such a person was hard to find, but he felt the City should make the attempt in order to fully utilize the many play facili- ties Port St. Joe maintains. The Board agreed to the item being placed in the budget and an attempt made to hire a competent director. The Commission's proposed leash law came up again for discussion. Commissioner Tom Colde- wey observed that "All we need to do is change Section 4 (Continued on Page 8) R. C. LEWIS R. C. Lewis to Seek Election R. C.

Accord- ing to tournament manager, Gene Raffield, 16 teams from Florida, Georgia, Alabama,, and Mississippi will be here for the event which starts with the first game Friday night. Thirty ball games will be played Friday night, all day Saturday and the champion- ship contest, which begins at 1:00 Sunday afternoon. The Port St. Joe tourna- ment is one of the oldest continuous tournaments in Florida. Last year's cham- pion, which will be back this year, was Clark's Seafood of Pascagoula, Miss. The year before, Raffield's of Port St. Joe won and in 1971, Brun- dige, Ala., was the champion. Admission to all the games is free for spectators. The Quarterback Club will oper- ate a concessions stand dur- ing the entire event. through Friday. She also maintains a deputy in Wewa- hitchka. Mrs. C. W. Norton at Lakeside Florist serves in this capacity. For the past year, at least, the Gulf County Commission has been suffering the agony of deciding whether or not to continue building roads for developers of real estate. On the one hand, the Board knows the county is getting too large for the Board to assume all road building re- sponsibilities and on the other hand, some of the Board feel the practice is one of their normal services for the tax payers. Tuesday's meeting seemed to be a special meeting for hashing out this problem, But the problem was not com- pletely solved. The discussion started when a request was present- ed from a developer of some acreage near Overstreet, re- questing the County to accept title for some new roads in the area, with the idea that they would construct the roads in the future. A request was made for immediate con- struction of two short streets in the plat, as several lots had been sold and people wanted to build. Commission Chairman Si- las Player said it was his understanding the people had been sold the property on the promise that the County would build the roads. The promise was allegedly made by the seller and not by the Board. This also disturbed the Board as they build roads when and where they see fit. As Commissioner Walter Graham pointed out, "We have plats which have been on file for 20 years and the roads still haven't been built." Commissioner Eldridge Money stuck by his previous Conviction that the property owner desiring to develop a subdivision should bring the road up to grade on county specifications before the Board would accept any plats or road deeds. Money said, "I don't feel the County should be in the business of building roads for the profit of a subdivision developer at the expense of the tax payer. I know this attitude may very well defeat me two years from now, but I intend to stick by this conviction." MAfter considerable discus- sion as to whether or not the county should continue its practice of building roads in subdivisions from the begin- ning to the end of construc- tion (even though this con- (Continued on Page 8) Port St. Joe's Dixie Youth Pony League All Stars are manager, Keith Neal, Greg Chason, Jim Roberts, Chip front row kneeling, left to right, DeWayne McFarland, Pollock, Bascom Roberts, Wade Stoutamire, Harlan Had- Craig Weimorts, Jay Fleming, Ewell Harrison, Buddy dock, Kevin Watts, Craig Besore, Rex Strickland and Daryl Whitehead, and R.

That is what was spent on the water gates installed on the Dead Lakes which went into service last week, to control the depth of water on the Lakes. In controlling the water depth, the structure will also control the growth of water weeds which are choking up the Lakes. In talking with some of those who make their living on the Lakes (and there are more than just a few doing so) it's our opinion the return from the Lakes will more than pay for the gates in less than a year from revenue coming into the county from fishermen and sportsmen. In. Wewahitchka, sport fishing is a big business. Of course; it's no paper hill, but the revenue from this national pastime seems to be at least as great as from one of the smaller industries here in Port St. Joe. In last week's paper, we refer- red to the gates as an "experi- ment". Director of the Department of Natural Resources, Harmon Shields says this isn't so. The practice of lowering water to let sunshine kill water weeds has worked in numerous places and will work here, too. He evidently has faith in the project since his department and the .Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission dropped nearly $225,0004;into the structure.. They aren't known to throw money around recklessly. While many think this was done for Wewahitchka, let us point out the entire county will benefit from a healthy fishing condition for the Dead Lakes, as will Calhoun Coun- ty. That lucrative "fishing money" Making Tour f ^tri3h a TALLAHASSEE There's only one way to tell the people about how you stand on issues and to hear how they feel, and that's by meet- ing them face-to-face," Unit- ed States Senate candidate Richard (Dick) Stone said.

Stone will be in Port St. Joe today from 4:15 to 6:15 p.m., EDT for a political rally and free fish fry next to the City Hall.

Verdict Without Trial The Watergate Investigation Committee has been busy for a year and a half now trying to come up with the evidence and the public opinion to impeach President Rich- ard Nixon. According to the daily press, which for the most part appeared to. approve the impeach- ment of the President, the "spirit of impeachment" is growing weak- er. Many who would have voted for impeachment six months ago now would not. As a matter of fact investigation committee chairman Peter Rodino has been quoted as saying he would not cast an aye vote even though he publicly denies making such a statement. While the will to impeach the . President seems to be lagging, we have another candidate for im- peachment: Senator Lowell. P. Weiker, Jr., R-Conn. On taking his oath office, Sena- tor Weiker swore on a Bible to uphold the Constitution of the Unit- ed States. Last week, in our opin- ion, Senator Weiker violated that oath in a public statement he made, which was dutifully repeated in the press. Weiker made a positive state- ment that the President had violat- ed the Constitution 170 times. He said, "Evidence presented to this committee can and will demon- strate every major substantive part of the Constitution was violated, abused and undermined during the Watergate period." One of the primary(reasons for the founding of this nation and one of the freedoms written into the Constitution is the trial by jury- not trial by Senator Weiker. In his statement, Senator Weiker has stat- ed the President is guilty of violat- ing the Constitution before he is even tried. A newspaper or other news media cannot make such a state- ment without being open for libel. The news media must, in reporting charges, leave the door open to the fact that one charged is possibly innocent. Had Senator Weiker stated his charges as his opinion 'rather than a statement of fact, he would merely be one of the other hound dogs chasing after the hare and his statements would be taken as such. In stating that the President is guilty before he has been tried, we believe Senator Weiker, himself, has violated a very vital section of the Constitution. This section protects the Dan- iell Ellsbergs: why shouldn't it also protect the Richard Nixons?

Letters to the Editor To Whom It May Concern: Howard Creek used to be a nice place to fish, but now you have to pay $2.50 to rent a nasty boat, it isn't. Dead fish, dead earthworms and water (unless you want to dip it out yourself) are in the boats offered you. No one helps you launch the boat, and when you get back to the landing, you have to unload the boat yourself with no help. When you finish the big man walks up, and says, "$2.50 please," but is looking at you all the time making jokes if you are black. Once you leave, all you think of is the nasty, smelly boat. It is enough to make you sick. Won't someone ,please help? Mrs. F. R. Taylor Dear Editor: It has, ,taken. me .three weeks.o decide to writ this letter. First let me say it is very refreshing to know, from reading The Star, the past two weeks that you can still give lovely coverage to weddings, which in these days of "shocking" and "free love", I think a Christian wedding is good news. Now getting back to why I am writing this letter in the first place. "The Graham - Rowan write-up." Mr. Ram- sey, I spent a great deal of time getting some of the de- tails together, like an accur- ate list of the out-of-town guests, an accurate descrip- tion of the floral arrange- ments, bride's cake and all the other things that make a wedding, which is important to those involved and I, think every bride wants a detailed account of her wedding pub- lished at least in her home- town newspaper, but you didn't choose to print about three-fourths of those details. I am not much of a journa- list and I can understand cutting, but if the bride only wore a bodice and veil, heaven only knows what the maid of honor and other. attendants wore, not to men- tion the mothers and grand- mothers. So please, Mr. Ramsey continue to give detailed coverage to all weddings as you have for the past two weeks, and if you don't have room, wait until the next week, I am sure the bride's. would appreciate it (and the mothers). Since you are a Christian man, I know you wouldn't show partiality. Really, Mr. Ramsey, I am not jealous, just disgusted. Frustrately yours, Mrs. Walter Graham P.S. By the way what ever happened to Nellis Johnson and Panhandle Parade? He could have had a field day with this wedding. Mrs. Graham, We understand your con- sternation and, believe me, we feel just as bad as you about having to cut down on wedding write-ups (although we have done some cutting on other things each and every week also; though you wouldn't know about this since you are not personally involved in every item). Over the years, we have made it a practice to print every word of wedding reports sent into our office though some were overly long and contained unnecessary wording. We felt, like you, that the young bride would want "the whole thing" to remember the event by. We're glad you wrote about this problem, since we have been getting several com- plaints along this line recent- ly and it allows us to explain why it has to be. You see, there is a news- print shortage. It's in shorter supply Lhan beef was about this time last year. There have been several weeks this PAGE TWO Green 'N Grassy By Mike' Bea4oin , After all these years, it now comes to light that women - not men.- are natural born gamblers. The only difference is that men don't try to hide their tendencies to gamble. They play poker, bet on football games and even on horses and dogs. Women, as usual, are more subversive about the whole thing. Now get this: they gamble by going shopping! Don't take my word for it, this theory is the brainchild of Dr. Jeffrey A. Barach, assistant professor of marketing in the Tulane Graduate School of Business Administration. Dr. Barach said most women enjoy shopping, even if they do grumble about it. He goes further and says they enjoy it because consciously or sub- consciously they are gambling or "playing games" the whole while. Some of the games they play, according to Dr. Barach, are: Willingness to gamble on a new product rather than miss out on something good. Deciding whether the ad- vertised performance of a product is more, or less, im- portant than the social satisfaction of using it. Responding emotionally to one's self-confidence, or timidity, in judging the merit of a particular kind of mer- chandise. The University professor also says that he has evidence that year when we didn't know where the newsprint was coming from to print the next week's paper with. As a consequence, we have had to save in every way we could. The only way we can save is not to print the number of pages we would under or- dinary circumstances. The only way we can do this is cut back on the number of pages printed and the num- ber of papers printed. Several weeks we could print more pages (the week your daughter's wedding was in the paper was one of those) but we just didn't have the paper. We print 2,400 papers each week and could easily sell 300 to 400 more if we had the paper to 'print them on. Too, most newspapers don't like to print history. They prefer news .and news will win out over history for col- umn space in every news- more than twice as many women with a "positive risk- style" (that's the gamblers) are willing to switch products after watching a television com- mercial than those who lack the gambler's instinct. Studies by the Green and Grassy Research Foundation goes Dr. Barach one further and finds that women also gamble on these possibilities while shopping: When they buy a new dress, they're gambling that there's not another like it in town, or at least that it won't be worn at the same function they're going to. Many of them, when they buy anything, are gambling that there's enough money in the bank to cover the check they write. Some of them gamble that (a) the children will .like to eat it; (b) it will fit; or (c) her husband won't look at the price tag. (That last one is the worst gamble of all.) Dr. Barach's findings also* show that shy, timid women, regardless of financial ability, will gamble (spend) less than women who are moderately self-confident. The self- confident women, he says will gamble (spend) in order not to miss something good. All of this can best be sum- med up in the comment of a sage who was complaining about his wife's bad shopping habits. _ Asked what they were, he said simply: "She shops." paper in the land. Many papers will not print wed- dings if the event is more than two weeks old. These number more than just a few. We don't do that. We print the wedding, even if it is a month old, though we don't like to. In the event an article is over a month old and something has to be cut, the older article will be cut in favor of up-to-date news. This isn't just our practice; it is the practice of all newspa- pers. We didn't cut your article on purpose. We have had to cut many lately even though we don't like to. It's a situa- tion we can't help at this particular time. I know this doesn't satisfy your hurt, but maybe you can at least see that we have a problem we can't do much, about and some have to suf- fer for it. You aren't the only one who has had to. K& 'S? : SEftoin SShrdlu s by WESLEY R. RAMSEY I'm glad the holidays are over. Even though I.enjoyed the time off, the pace was a little more hectic than I like to be involved in. Last week end it was a trip to Macon to attend the golden anniversary of our in-laws. Then Wednesday we went back for a big family barbecue attended by the whole family. Rela- tives were in Macon from Minnesota and Washington state which we hadn't seen in nearly 10 years, so we felt we had to go. The fact that there was a barbecued pig anld a barbecued goat to be devoured had nothing to do with it. Although it was pleasure to socialize with those we hadn't Zeen in a long while and even though the barbecue was delicious, it was a relief for visitors and visited alike when it was all over. Everyone was pooped. There didn't seem to be the traffic on the road during the Fourth holiday in the vicinity of 1-75 there usually is during a holiday. On our way home Thursday afternoon, we stopped for gas and the station attendant said business wasn't near what he thought it would be. Going up Wednesday the Interstate was hardly crowded at all. Maybe people stayed at home and relaxed. While that may seem the sensible thing to do, it doesn't help those traveller oriented places at all. This week marks the beginning of that even-numbered year madness called campaign- ing. The politicians began to sign up Tuesday getting ready for the big race to be culminated for some in September and others in Novem- ber. I told you I would let you know if George Core came through on his promise to see that I got my regular breakfast of broiled pork chops and two soft boiled eggs for breakfast in Wewahitchka Friday morning at the dedication of the Dead Lakes water gates. He didn't. He substituted scrambled eggs, ham, biscuits and honey. I thought that was a pretty good substitute. George said the only eggs they had were already scrambled so there wasn't anything he could do about it. 'You're forgiven, George. You know by now that the Department of Natural Resources is planning to purchase a mile wide strip on each side of the Apalachi- cola River and maintain it in its natural state. DNR Director Harmon Shields says plans are to buy from Owl Creek, south, and eventually purchase all the river bank all the way to Blountstown to maintain a hunting and fishing area for this part of the state. My concern was for the camps built on the River and Shields told me Friday that these would be "grand-fathered" and allowed to remain as they are. What's with the big league pitchers these days? In past years, watching them on television, when a reliever would come to the mound, he would amble along, taking his own sweet time. Now they actually run to the mound. Too, when an inning was over, the pitcher would saunter to the dug out like he was out for an evening stroll. Now, they run to the dug out. Can anyone tell me why? I understand the dug outs are now air conditioned and after being out on the hot mound for an inning, he might be in a hurry to get in where it's cool. Most likely, though, the relievers and the pitchers are probably running because of the rash of incidents where fans toss cans, bottles, ice or anything they can get their hands on at the pitchers this year. The reliever is just getting out of throwing distance in a hurry and the pitcher is getting into the protection of the dug out before he gets hit. A moving target is harder to hit. %liw Daniel H.

People Out of Work Longer TALLAHASSEE -Floridians who lose their jobs are :suf- fering longer periods of un- employment this year than they did last year, according to unemployment compensa- tion figures released this week. The number of weeks for which claimants filed for un- employment compensation in Florida jumped 89 per cent during the first five months of the year compared with' the same period in 1973, John Wesley White, Employment Security director, said 'today. "This figure indicates that some people who have al- ways been viable members of the working force have suf- fered periods of unemploy- ment for the first time and that others have been unem- ployed Jonger or more often than they would have been last year in the same months. It's accurate to say that we are in a period of economic decline," White said. May's continued unemploy- ment compensation claims increased 86 per cent over the same month in 1973 and represent a 3.9 per cent in- crease over April's claims, according to Florida Depart- ment of Commerce figures. The construction industry was hardest hit with layoffs and shutdowns resulting in a 230 per cent increase over the year in initial claims from construction workers. Tallahassee area initial claims increased by 151.6 per cent in May, the highest per- centage increase in the state for that month. The total number of claims was 322. The most significant de- cline in claims was in Jack- sonville, where a cigar fac- tory strike was settled. Initial claims dropped by 41.2 per cent.

Air Conditioner Change The "air conditioner age" has created a wasteful man- ner of building homes, apart- ment complexes and public buildings. Too much glass, concrete and steel--too little insulation. One-fifth of the total energy used in the United States is expended in heating and cool- ing stores, homes, hospitals, factories, offices and hotels. Forest researchers of the USDA Forest Products La- boratory, Madison, Wiscon- sin, say that a two-story Colonial home in Chicago can operate on 360 gallons less fuel every winter.' Likewise, a wood-frame home in St. Petersburg or Panama City, Florida can cut air conditioning usage by up to 50 per cent, -say forest- ers of the Division of Forest- ry, Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The secret? Trees and shrubs on the outside, insula- In tion on the inside. And wood throughout. When outdoor temperatures are about 90 degrees, the roof surface of a house may have a temperature of 150 degrees or higher. Heat from the attic or roof space transmits to the rooms below. Attic spaces often remain at a high temperature long after the sun has set and supply heat that makes the rooms below uncomfortable all night. This naturally means a heavier load for the central or room-sized air condition- ing. Insulation between the oc- cupied rooms and the attic 'W roof space retards the heat flow and adds to the comfort of the occupants of the rooms. Side wall insulation, particularly on those sides exposed to the direct rays of the sun is also helpful in reducing room temperatures. Insulation comes in a vari- ety of materials. Wood is a natural insulator that is Save! Men's Sandals 10% off Keep comfortable and cool PAGE THREE Age Needs Building many times more effective when pulverized and recons- tituted as fiberboard. These rigid insulation boards can be used to underlay carpets and flooring or as ornamental ceiling squares to muffle sounds as well as heat. Insulation fiberboard, while principally made of wood, also contains refined fiber from bagasse (a plant like cane), waste paper, straw, licorice roote and cornstalks. Binding agents may be added to increase the board's strength and its resistance to fire, decay, insects and mois- ture. You can best appreciate the job that insulation does by remembering that it is a form of fiberboard that insu- lates refrigerated railway cars and trucks! It's also the basis for soundproofing insu- lation systems. Blanket insulation, an ef- fective wall-type insulation, comes in fibrous bales made of cane or wood. This mater- ial usually includes tabs to make the homeowner's job simple. All he has to do is to attach this flexible insulation to the studs. In older houses, insulation may be installed with a com- mercial blower. Loose-fill in- sulation is usually a fluffy substance such as glass or rice "wool". Insulating con- tractors also use shredded redwood bark, gypsum, slag, vermiculite and perlite. If properly processed, wood shavings and sawdust make habits line insusaiou. Naturally, the best time to insulate a house or building is when it is being built. Every home is more or less an individual case. Standards and requirements for insula- tion thicknesses also vary by region. But whatever the require- ment in making the places we live more comfortable, insulation is a bargain. And by using wood, the bargain is even better. Sport Coats IJ 15% off Models for short, aver- i ge and tall. Solids and -f fancies. Men and Young Men's . IFlares&Jeans 25 pct. off Plaids and solids.

People watch hyacinths float downstream as water begins to flow through water gates. n, FHA. After numerous delays which included delays in getting approval, finding financing, getting plans drawn, finding a construction firm to build within the money available and shipment of wrong components, the opening of the draw down gates at Dead Lakes met still another delay Friday morning. A downpour of rain just as the speakers were finishing their remarks and officials were to open the gates put off the event another hour. As the rains stopped, however, Representative William J. Rish, Dead Lakes Water Management Commission chairman Wil- liam Linton; Farmers' Home Administration official Eugene Pittman; Major Tom Garrison of the Department of Natural Resources and Joe Blanchard of the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission, did the honors. Star Photo Friday's ceremony was the culmination of several years of work by officials of the Dead Lakes Water Manage- ment Commission, headed by William Linton and Repre- sentative William J. Rish. The purpose of the project is to enable the lakes to be _. drained periodically in order to expose the roots of noxious water weeds to the sunlight, in an effort to kill them. Department of Natural Re- sources Director Harmon Shields said the method of water weed control has worked very well in other similar cases. The day started with a breakfast for visiting digni- taries which included Shields, Dr. Earl 0. Frye of the Game and Fresh Water Fish Com- mission and other state and government officials. David Carl Gaskin, Wewahitchka attorney, hosted the meeting and served as Master of < Ceremonies at the dedication site. S- Gaskin drew the "Groan of .**. the day when.he said he was loathe to.call the structure a "dam" control and he hesi- tated to call it what it ac- Star Photo tually was: a Water Gate. Linton introduced the mem- bers of the Management Commission, which includes Charlie Anders and Brooks Hayes of Blountstown; Char- lie Sexton, Bobby Rish, and George Core of Gulf County. Harland Pridgeon has served the Commission as liaison officer. Gaskin, Dr. Frye and Shields all gave the lion's share of the credit for secur- ing the "water gate" to Rep- resentative William J. Rish, who was determined and suc- cessful in seeing that the proper funding was arranged. Gaskin referred to Rish as "our 'Congressman' in Talla- hassee". Dr. Frye said "Rish is really the person who 'got this thing going. He stayed with it and pushed where pushing was necessary con- tinuously". Shields ,referred to Rish as "The hardest working member of the House I know of. He's always pushing." With the opening of the gates Friday morning, follow- ing an hour's delay by a downpour of rain, the lakes will be lowered just as much as the level of the Apalachi- cola River will allow, where they will remain until fall. .This will allow the sun's rays to kill underwater weeds and will allow the hyacinths to either be killed by the sun or take root in the lake bottom where they will be drowned when the lake is refilled. Plans were to lower the .lakes by six inches a day, but according to Jerry Gates, who works in the Clerk's office and owns a fish camp on the lakes, the water had gone down only 11 inches Monday, which is consider- ably slower than desired. Gates said the gates had not been opened all the way in order to see what effect the rushing water would have before they were fully open- 'ed. Biologists have estimated that between 50 and 60 per- cent of the Dead Lakes bot- tom will be exposed to the sun's rays. The water gates are locat- ed under the road bed in the approach to the Dead Lakes Dam. The dam was built in the early '60's in order to maintain a constant level in the Lakes.

The Board members wound up their discussion with Money still "tired of our building roads at the expense of the tax payer; Commissioner Da- vis "wanting to serve the people; Commissioner Whit- field "ready to build roads anywhere" and Commission- er Graham, "a man's home should be served by a good road." The Board did agree to instruct people selling lots not to make promises for the Board to keep. The Board also voted to build the two blocks of street requested in Overstreet with Commissioner Money voting "no". IN OTHER BUSINESS -The Board instructed the Road Department to put up a temproary fence around the Dead Lakes water gates, as the turbulent waters from the lakes draw down were dan- gerous. -Took a request of George G. Tapper under advisement. Tapper requested a "non- exclusive franchise to serve the South end of the County with a cable TV service. -It was announced that Rep. William J. Rish had been successful in securing an extra 100,000 gallon gaso- line allotment for Gulf Coun- ty during the month of June. -Attorney Rish said there was now $400,000 in trust for construction at Sunland Rec- reation Center on St. Joseph's Point. Rish said the state requested the county to join forces in some paving work in the area, so there would be enough money to completely finance the second phase of the work there. The state is to -furnish all materials and the County will do the work of installation. -Rish also announced that structural engineers would be on the job at the Highland View bridge Wednesday and Thursday to draw up specifi- cations of repairs necessary in order to call for bids for repair. He said electrical re- pairs were already under- way. (Continued from Page 1) City of the present Ordinance and we can have the safeguards we are wanting over roaming dogs and pesky pets." Attorney William J. Rish observed that this was true. He said the present pet or- dinance covered all areas the City wanted incorporated in the new one except that it required only that dogs in heat be prevented from run- ning at large. "It would be a simple matter to change this section to require that all dogs and pets be kept under restraints and not be allowed to run loose." The Commission isn't abandoning the idea of pas- sing some sort of law to prevent the indiscriminate roaming of pets, but they are going to study the most re- cent proposal a while before going any further. Expect Nematode Problems in Summer By: Michael Ruffner Graduate Assistant University of Florida Floridai homeowners can expect increased problems with their lawns during the hot summer months ahead. These problems range from the effects of severe heat to nematode infestation. Thanks to Dr. V. G. Perry, professor of nematology at the University of Florida. the In Ring for Senate State Representative Pat Thomas, Democrat of Quin- cy filed his qualifying papers for the State Senate seat being vacated by Senate President Mallory Home. Because of his effective- ness in battling for his con- stituents, Thomas was named "Down Home Legislator of the Year" by the Tallahassee Democrat's Area Editor, Jack Harper. The Democrat described Thomas as "the man who accomplished the most in the last session for the rural and small town folks of the Big Bend area of Florida. He was one of the leaders of tax reduction and tax re- form in the past session of the Legislature. Thomas, a Quincy, busi- Moore Sits On Bench In Holmes Case County Court Judge Robert M. Moore was recently ap- pointed by Chief Circuit Judge Robert L. McCrary, Jr. to serve in the controver- sial Josie Riley case in Holmes County. Holmes Coun County Judge Robert Brown was disqualified from presid- ing in the case. Judge Moore will continue to reside until the case is concluded. Pre- sently, Judge Moore is con- sidering whether or not to transfer the case from Holmes County to another County. A decision should be reached on this matter in the near future. Judge Moore is also serv- ing as presiding Circuit Judge in the absence of Cir- cuit Judge Larry G. Smith. Judge Moore has assumed all Circuit Court responsibilities for Judge Smith in Gulf Coun- ty since June. Additionally, Judge Moore served as Cir- cuit Judge in Bay County this entire week. Since Judge Moore is a qualified attorney, he is eli- gible for assignment of Cir- cuit Court responsibilities. An attorney must have been a practicing lawyer for at least five (5) years in order to be qualified for such appoint- ment. In Gulf County, Judge Moore serves as full-time County Court Judge and assists with Circuit Court assignments.

When these parasites feed on the host plant, the roots are destroyed and theL water and nutrient uptake is severely limited." Symptoms of nematode in- festation are wilting, thin- ning, weed encroachment, increased susceptability to fungi and a yellowish tint. The grass will initially lose much of its vigor and become thin. This is followed by an invasion of annual weeds, crabgrass and "milk grass." Weed seeds abound in the soil, and when turf becomes thin the seeds germinate and the weeds become more plen- tiful than grass. Weeds don't have a chance to grow if the turf is thick and vigorous. "These annual weeds have more resistance to nema- todes than the normal variety of lawn grasses," Dr. Perry says. "We are currently working on this problem at IFAS (Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences), but we do know that unless these nematodes are controlled you will have a lawn full of weeds in two or three years." Nematodes prefer the finer texture grasses such as ber- muda and centipede. St. Augustine and bahia grasses are coarser and have more resistance to nematodes.

Through the research work of Dr. Perry at the Univer- sity of Florida, an environ- mentally safe nematicide has been developed for lawn care. It is called DBCP and is sold under the trade name of Nemagon. When used proper- ly it has proven most effec- tive in combatting nema- todes. The homeowner can apply Nemagon to his lawn by drenching the grass with it, or it can be applied by spe- cialists who inject the chemi- cal directly into the soil with the use of a specially design- ed tractor. Dr. perry said that his re- search has indicated that in- jection is by far the most efficient method of combat- ting nematodes. Some pest control operators in Florida can inject Nemagon into lawns for approximately one cent per foot of lawn. R.A.M.-Regular convoca- tion on St., Joseph Chapter No. 56.

Cabinet had voted unani- mously to oppose conTstruc- tion of a low level navigation dam .near Blountstown. Harmon Shields, director of the Florida Department of Natual Resources, was quoted as saying, "I think this purchase will further insure there will be no dam." Walker pointed out that Congress has eminent domain over state-owned as well as private lands. "As far as the dam goes," Walker said, "It will make no difference who owns the land. But it will make a difference in whether Northwest Florida people benefit from the waterway once the dam is built. If there is no private land available, private enter- prise can't build there." DOTHAN, ALA. Is Northwest Florida in danger of becoming a "reservation," where visitors may observe the descendants of the pio- neers at work and play?

Walker, presi- dent of the Tri-Rivers Water- way Development Associa- tion, has sounded a warning about the latest stop-develop- ment proposal-a plan for the state to buy up land along the length of the Apalachicola River with "endangered lands" funds.

Griffin, Chief of Police City of Port St. Joe, Florida 4t 6-27 * Walker noted than approxi- mately one-third of the popu- lation of the six Florida coun- ties along the Apalachicola have incomes below the poverty level. While state leaders have opposed construction of a dam to provide a nine foot channel to the gulf from ports on the Chattahoochee, Flint and Apalachicola rivers, Walker said investiga- tions by the tri-state associa- tion indicate that mostresi- dents of at least three of the six Florida counties want the dam. He said they cite bene- fits to fishing as well as to economic development. "The people of Northwest Florida are simply being sold out for South and Certral Florida votes," Walker charged. The -waterway spokesman said the Apalachicola-Chatta- hoochee-Flint river basin is the first great region of the country to begin its develop- ment under private enter- prise since technology has made environmental protec- tion practices feasible. He predicted the valley would become a showplace of indus- trial efficiency and good liv- ing. Walker expressed hope that Northwest Florida would have a chance to share in the anticipated prosperity. "Our association doesn't look at state lines," Walker said. "Kinship and friendship don't stop at political boun- daries. We want the same good things for the people of Northwest Florida that we want for Southeast Alabama and Southwest Georgia.

THURSDAY, JULY 11, 1974 PAGE ELEVEN Nation Faces Energy Gaps Reality The United States is by far the largest energy user of any nation on earth. It consumes more energy than the Soviet Union, Japan, Great Britain and West Ger- many combined and six times as much per man, woman and child as the world average. In fact, each American on the average uses three gallons of oil and 300 cubic feet of natural gas every day of the year. Today, petroleum crude oil Parked Car Dangerous TALLAHASSEE-A parked car can often turn into a terrible tragedy under cer- tain circumstances said the Florida Highway Patrol -this week. Colonel Eldrige Beach, Patrol Director asks drivers not to be guilty of the follow- ing: -Leaving children unat- tended in a parked vehicle on an incline as they might re- lease the parking brake or place the shift lever into neu- tral. And always take the keys with you. -Leaving children or ani- mals in the hot sun with the windows closed as tempera- tures in a closed car often exceed 120 degrees. -Leaving your keys in your unattended car; this is *Me M0,. 0) (a) 0M C U cE~ U - not only a violation of state law but you stand a chance of having your car stolen. -Leaving your car unlock- ed while you shop, especially at night. You mayreturn to your car and have someone hiding in the back seat who may rob or assault you. -Parking small cars, motorcycles or bicycles be- hind a large truck which may have to back up when it leaves. -Parking in. front of fire hydrants, mail boxes, drive- ways or anywhere else you may cause inconvenience to others. Colonel Beach concluded by saying, "We recommend that each time you park your ve- En 00 3: 0. hicle, you should place it in 'park' or a low. gear for trucks, apply the emergency brake, remove the ignition key, lock the doors and of course, take children and pets with you." and natural gas provides over three-quarters of all U.S. mechanical energy energy to heat and cool homes and offices, run trains, trucks and cars, turn the wheels of industry, and generate 40 percent of the electricity Americans use. Indeed, U.S. industrialized civilization has been built, to a large extent, on a past abun- dance of secure, low-cost energy, must of it supplied by domestic crude oil and natural gas. In recent years, however, the nation has been using its reserves of petroleum faster than it has been finding new ones. Consequently, the United States if facing a period of petroleum shortfall. Demand is outstripping supply. Yet the nation's energy requirements, which have doubled over the past 20 years, are expected, to almost double again by 1985. And oil and gas are expected to continue to provide the largest portion of that energy. However, with diminishing domestic pe- troleum supplies, the United ,States is becoming increasingly - and, perhaps, dangerously -- dependent on foreign sources to meet its petroleum needs. Virtually since its founding, the United States has benefited from a seemingly inexhaustible supply of cheap energy - energy from wood, coal, water power and petroleum. Unfortunately, the nation is now faced with the reality of how finite these energy sources are. For environmental rea- sons, the nation has restricted the use of coal once the chief supplier of energy in the United States and has slowed the construction of both hydroelec- tric and nuclear gene. ating plants. As a result, the petroleum industry has been called upon to provide a greater share of America's fuels. In 1972, for example, the United States consumed more. than 5.9 billion barrels of refined products (there are 42 gallons to the barrel), and 22.5 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. The major products made were gasoline, over 2.3 billion barrels, and fuel oils, nearly 2 billion, barrels. Jet fuel ac- counted for 384 million barrels, and kerosine for 84 million. barrels. The remaining 1.1 billion barrels were consumed as liquefied petroleum gas, asphalt, lubricating oils and greases, and other products. That is a lot of petroleum. Yet the quantity consumed is ex- pected to continue to rise, and the discovery of new domestic oil and gas reserves is not keeping pace with the growing rate of consumption. Most of the readily-located onshore oil and gas fields have already been found and are in production. Oil companies have had to search increasingly in more inaccessible locations - in Alaska, in deeper formations of the earth, and beneath the ocean floor. It is the third area under the nation's Outer Continental Shelf that offers the best potential for meeting the nation's near-term petrol- eum needs. The U.S. Geological Survey estimates that recoverable quantities of petroleum under the U.S. Continental Shelf may range from 65 to 130 billion barrels of crude oil, and from 395 to 790 trillion cubic feet of. natural gas. Based on anticipated annual growth and demand for oil of six percent and for natural gas of two percent, these potential reserves would amount to a 15- 20 year supply of crude oil and a 30-35 year supply of natural gas. Future imnpro'. rinents in technology and economics could, of course, increase the recoverable amounts of petroleum. If the full potential of the Outer Continental Shelf were realized in the near future, petroleum from that source could go a long way toward meeting the nation's energy needs. But it takes from three to 10 years to bring an oil or gas field into full production once it has been located. Carol White Receives Degree Carole S. White of Port St. Joe received her B.
