Government Delays Dock Repairs It's been nearly two months since Hurricane Agnes hit the Gulf Coast and damage-espe- cially docks-lie un-repaired. These pictures show docks at Indian Pass Seafood Company, which suffered extensive damage from high seas. James T. McNeill, owner of the firm said the Corps of En- gineers won't let him repair the damage until he gets a permit and the firm was unable to be eligible for disaster loans until this week. Franklin County was declared eligible for the loans. The Franklin county line is only 100 yards from these docks and still no relief was forthcoming. McNeill said this week he was made eligible for the disaster loans through the efforts of Con- gressman Bob Sikes and he is now able to apply for a permit to, repair the docks. McNeill said he couldn't understand the reluctance to allow repairs since the docks have been there for over 20 years. Dock still lies twisted and torn after Corps of Engineers refuses to allow repairs until per- Dr. Paul A.

Storm Sewer Planning, On Long Avenue Finalized DOT Says It's Ready to Proceed With the Work Charles Dunn with the Depart- ment of Transportation office in Chipley met with the County Commission Tuesday night to get their last-minute instruc- tions before the State embarks on a construction project of placing drain pipe along Long Avenue, South of 20th Street un- der the Secondary Road Pro- gram. Dunn said the DOT was ready to begin work on the project which was requested a little -over two years ago by both the .City. of'Port St. Joe and the County. The county's request, being checked at Tuesday's meeting would place pipe in the ditches of Long Avenue on the East side "between 19th and 20th Streets; on the west side from 21st Street to Allen Memorial Way and on the east side along with sidewalks from 22nd Street to Niles Road.; This is only the first phase of a project which will eventually see piping installed on both sides of Long Avenue in this area. Need for Harbor The Board discussed the need for better harbor facilities in Port St. Joe. Commissioner Leo Kennedy said a barge captain told him Port St. Joe had the best. harbor along the entire Gulf Coast requiring less main- tenance. He thought something should beinitiated to make use" of this. natural resource. The Board discussed at length what they could dd'-to develop the harbor facilities and finally decided to invite George Tapper and Billy Tapper, opera- tors of St. Joseph Stevedore Company, to a future meeting to discuss possibilities of the pro- ject. Booth to Address PTA Meeting The Port St. Joe Elementary PTA will have its first meeting Thursday night at 8:00 p.m. in the Elementary School auditor- ium. An outstanding program has been arranged with the help of the Gulf County Sheriff's De- partment. Special agent Willis Booth, Florida Department of Law Enforcement, will conduct a program on narcotics and drugs. Special agent Booth comes highly recommended for this program as he is very familiar with illegal drugs, drug abuse and its problems in the state.

Sharks Drop Braves In Defensive Battle Port St. Joe's Sharks won their second game of the young season last Friday night by de- feating the Walton County High Braves, 13-7 in a defensive strug- gle. Both teams presented a stout defensive game which saw a total of 10 punts in the first half. The Sharks initial first down (and the first one in the game) came with 2:24 left in the first period on an aerial from Whit- tle to Martin Adkison for an 18 yard gain to the Braves 32. Whittle ripped off one of his rambling runs for 19 yards; Rob- ert Dickens carried a screen pass for eight more and ran for three. Whittle then went over on a sneak play from the one for the Sharks first score with 11:16 left in the first halfoThe kick for the extra point was no good. Then it was punt, punt, punt Kiwanis officers, left to right: Past presi- dent William 4.

While their concern is to be applauded, the threat to the -earth is, we think, exaggerated. The DDT furor is a good example. It was thought that banning this insecticide would purify the earth. DDT, however, was effective against insects that spread malaria and destroyed crops. Now, with DDT spraying prohibited, people no longer have to fear chemical poisoning, just disease and starva- tion. A United Nations food report recently stated that this is happening in backward parts of the globe. More people and less food is another concern. Food scarcity, too, is exaggerated. Millions of acres lie unused in Brazil, Ethiopia and elsewhere. The U.S. has to worry about surpluses, not shortages. Research has -developed new strains of wheat that greatly increase yields. A century ago, it took 50 hours of work to produce one acre of corn. Today, mechan- ized farming can do it in two hours. Pollution and population fears are likewise overstated. There has been no change in the atmosphere's oxygen content for a half-century. Some noxious gases, such as sulphur dioxide, have actually declined. Charging that the United States will be overpopu- lated by the year 2000 is a little silly. If the present birth rate continues to decline, we will be underpopulated by the year 4000. Today's doomsayers are rather like those who doubted Columbus, pessimists whose only job is spreading their anxiety. Anything Can Cause Damage It must be fashionable these days to put out the big scare. Not only do we have people working overtime telling us we are going to make our world unfit to live in if we don't abandon pesticides, chemical fertilizers, etc., but everyday we have a new, somber announcement about how dangerous it is to eat this food; that preservative is a cancer-causing agent, or this cleanser can cause birth defects. No doubt pesticides upset the environment. We will not argue that point. Anything foreign introduced into a given area will upset the balance put there by nature. Here in Port St. Joe, we went through a building era a few years back and cut down all those beautiful pines which offered a home for the bear, the deer and the wild tur- key. We drained the surface water, so we would have a dry place, on which to build. We upset the environment of this area something terrible. Reading the other day, we see where the agent used to cure meats COULD cause cancer. Leaving out the cur- ing agent will most certainly allow a botulism to develop that will certainly kill you if you eat the uncured meat. Too Late To Classify By Russell Kay I've been reading Alvin Toff- ler's runaway best seller, "Fu- ture Shock" and, while I don't have much hair left, what little I do have struggled to stand on end. I knew, of course, that our world was changing at an ever faster clip. I had not stopped to reflect how all these changes have and are affecting our lives, health, welfare and future. I have never had any personal quarrel with "The Society". Ne- ver had any desire to rebel, pro- test or demonstrate against this or that. I have never screamed "Stop the world, I want to get off." With all its faults, I con- sidered it a pretty good world, and life was more or less what I made it. I was a high school drop out, not because I wanted to, but be- cause family and financial prob- lems made it imperative. Hora- tio Alger couldn't write books fast enough to satisfy me. I en- joyed every one and learned a lot from them. Maybe they were not true to life but they instilled a lot of worthwhile values in my life that paid off when in later life I put them into practice. I learned to work while in knee britches, bounced around from one job to another, mowed lawns, carried papers morning and afternoon. Then by accident became a bell hop. I saw an ad in the paper "Bus Boy Wanted". In those days ho- tels operated busses to the rail- road station to pick up custo- mers with their baggage and transport them to the hotel. I thought, "bus boy" meant a boy who rode the bus and handled the baggage. When I applied at the age of 14, I was about five feet tall and weighed around 90 pounds. The hotel manager looked at me and laughed. "Son, they pile the trays high in our restaurant. I don't think you could even lift one." When I explained the kind of job I thought I was seeking, he laughed again and asked if I -THE STAR- Published Every Thursday at 306 Williams Avenue, Port St. Joe.

Hexaclorophene is catching the devil from the environ- mentalists now because it CAN cause brain damage when used to sterilize new-born infants and their surroundings. The alternative is an infant mortality rate such as that , enjoyed by backward nations which do not labor under the dangers presented by hexachlorophene. Most anything, used improperly, can cause damage of some sort to the human body. Penicillin, the saviour of many ravaged by uncontrollable infection, can surely kill if administered in an improper dose. Arsenic, one of the most famous of poisons, also doubles as a valuable medicine. Drugs, mis-used by so many in the world to- day bring relief to many who are 'ravaged by pain and disease if used properly. A whole bottle of aspirin, taken at one time can kill you deader than a hammer. A couple of aspirin, tak- en sensibly, can stop a throbbing headache and make you feel fit once more.

That was the begin- ning of a course in public rela- tions. I learned how to make friends, please customers and found that politeness and atten- tativeness paid off. A dime was the usual tip, but I soon learned that a little unexpected service or consideration often brought a quarter. The harder I worked, the better service I gave, the more I made. I made enough to help out at home and still have money for personal things I wanted. What a real common sense, down-to- earth education I was getting. The world was changing then but not too rapidly to keep up with. Thanks to my parents I had been taught the value of honesty, the meaning of respon- sibility, industry and hard work along with discipline . I was too busy to get into bad company. Nobody ever heard of drugs or dope and the average kid managed to stay out of ser- ious trouble. I knew the cop on the beat, and admired the house detecitve who liked me and help- ed me. I wonder how I would have made out in the present day world and am thankful I came up when the change was slower and easier to cope with. u:: Room Penus Monday, October 2 Stew beef with mixed vegetables, spring salad, crackers, applesauce cake, cornbread and milk. Archery and Primitive Gun Hunts Are Set Two archery hunts and. one primitive gun hunt are scheduled on St. Vincent Island National Wildlife Refuge during the 1972- 73 hunting season.

THE EUGENE WIMBERLY FAMILY -9 CLASSIFIED ADS! ami4qe* Investments That Yield Giant Retural Etaoin Shrdhu by WESLEY R. RAMSEY The last gasp of the Democratic Primaries, which means election in Gulf County, is about to be heard and then, once again, we can all get back to normal. Next Tuesday, we all (I hope) will go to the polls to cast our ballots for the man we think will do the best job. I've seen a lot of interesting races here in Gulf Coun- ty during the past 20 years, but this one has probably seen the most opposition between candidates for various. offices; more discussion of the issues and more campaign- ing than any race has engendered in quite a while. About the nearest thing to it, was the first election after the State began to have its Representative and Senator dis- ricts gerymandered around by the Supreme Court, col- lege professors and computers. After all these candidates have worked so long and hard since the middle of July to get the chance to serve your governmental needs, we hope you will at least honor that effort by going to the polls and casting your ballot. To be sure, your ballot will be against some candidates, but at least they can rest in the realization that they were defeated (or elected) at the will of the people and not put out of the running or elected by "the few who bothered, to vote". Speaking of elections; I read in the paper the other day where a new campaign had been launched. It had nothing to do with County Commissioners, School Board members, Judges, Sheriffs, Presidents, etc. The newly initiated campaign has as its purpose the creation of a new, safer match. The National Safety Council says current, common matches are just too dangerous especially for children. So the search is on to find a match that will strike only when an adult strikes it. According to the article I read, it seems as if the goal is a match which 'strikes by a com- bination, similar to a lock. I won't argue with the fact that making a true safety match will be a boon for the safety of mankind. After all, a lot of people are burned each year by accidental fires -some of which are caused by the mis-use of matches-- but I can't help but regret the passing of another old American custom. With a new, safer match, with a built- in coml;nation for striking, I can see where the time- hono-ed practice of hiking a leg and drawing a kitchen match across the seat of one's britches to get a bit of fire will go the way of the buffalo a victim of progress. One ray of hope: if a safer match comes out of this planned research, can a better mouse trap be far behind? ** 1 0-r .r-immron has done its duty for the first time. It has p-oduced a persimmon crop. The tree is really too small to bear young-it's only 12. inches tall-but nut forth it did and presented us with a large plump per- simmon. One persimmon. Again, pursuing our'habit of lookino- on the bright side, one is better than none. That roor little persimmon tree just about killed itself trying to do what was expected of it. The lone persim- mon weighted down the one straight stem of the tree so much, it broke. But the remainder of the tree is still living and possibly, just possibly, next year it will produce trro persimmons! WE STARTED LOOKING AT -- MICHAEL AS A MAN 2 YEARS; BEFORE HE WAS BORN. .... It was back In 1966. ( That's when we started planning our new nuclear plant up at Crystal River. We knew Michael was coming. And more like him.

That's why Crystal River, and other plants to follow, are so Important. And why we just can't afford the delays and red tape, the unduly long time required for approvals, that we've experienced in the development of Crystal River.

Whereas, the State Constitution, as revised in 1968, prohibited the further issuance of revenue bonds pursuant to said Article IX, Section 17, of the .Constitution of 1885; and Whereas, the governmental reorganization act of 1969, chapter 69-106, laws of Florida, acts of 1969, abolished the former outdoor recreational development.council and transferred its duties and responsibilities to the 'department of natural resources, division of recreation and parks; and Whereas, it is found to be essential and in the public interest to reinstitute such program of capital outlay financing for the above-stated purposes, through the agencies created by law to issue bonds and carry out recreation, and conservation programs, now, therefore, Be It Resolved by the Legislature of the State of Florida: That the following amendment to Article XII, Section 9, Subsection (a), of the State Constitution is agreed to and shall be submitted to the electors of Florida for ratification or rejection at the general election to be held in November, 1972: SECTION 9.

(SEAL) Richard (DICK) STONE SECRETARY OF STATE L A , THE STAR. "ort St. Joe. Florida THURSDAY, SEPT. 28, 1972 PAGE NTNI Good HS Art Department Valuable The value of a good high 'school art department cannot be overrated. Recognizing this, Port St. Joe High School is working hard to offer an art program that will be of maximum benefit to the students, and consequently, to the community as well. It is felt that the art program for the '72-73 school year will be both realistic and challenging for the students. The art staff is comprised of two art teachers, Miss Claudia Pennington and James Brantley, both new to Port St. Joe. Miss Pennington is originally from Columbus, Mississippi and is a graduate of Mississippi State Col- lege for Women, where she ma- jored in art education. Mr. Brant- ley is from Montgomery, Ala- bama. He is a graduate of Au- burn University, where he ma- jored in visual design. The art curriculum is com- prised of three categories: 1. An 18 week enrichment course for junior high students. 2. Art I, a 36 week course for first year art students at the senior high lev- el. 3. Art II, a 36 week course for advanced art students at the senior high level. The enrichment course is re- quired of all junior high stu- dents, and will give students an introduction to the history of art, the basic art principles, principles in the form of art projects. Included in the art projects will be exercises in drawing, painting with tempera or water color, clay sculpture, IT'S OUR ANNUAL James Brantley instructs art students Comfortable and Durable If the lovable creatures of the world, notably children and sometimes pets, have found a place in your heart, then you should find a place in your home for warm, inviting, comfortable Early Amer- ican furnishings.

This course will include the use of new more advanced projects and media methods. Many of the same materials listed for Art Enrichment will be used, and in addition, lettering and practical experience in various forms of printing (graphics) will be cov- ered. Art II is open to older and more experienced art students who are ready for more advanc- ed, more complex art concepts and activities. The materials used will be similar to those used in Art I. Students' work will be shown at various intervals during the year at the high school. Also, a state-wide art exhibit for high schools will be held in Tampa later this fall and a county-wide art fair for all schools in Gulf County, elementary through high school, will be held in Port St. Joe next spring. The art de- partment is looking forward to the opportunity facing it this school year.

This was announced this week by Carl C. Ulsaker, Rqgional Postmaster General, Southern Postal Region, which covers the Southern United States from Texas to Florida. "The program is intended to speed the ultimate delivery of the mail and to gain maximum efficiency and economy through full utilization of Panama City's post office," Ulsaker said. "The Panama City Post Of- fice," Ulsaker pointed out, "is a Sectional Center Facility, and the new system will revolve en- tirely around that capacity and that; function." Area Mail Processing is a plan whereby virtually all mail origin- ating within a Sectional Center area, including any or all of the associate offices of the Sectional Center Facility, will be consoli- dated at the SCF for complete preparation and processing for outgoing dispatch. All mail deposited in street letter boxes or the out-of-town letter drops at the associate of- fices will be transferred to the SCF for processing and will bear the postmark designated for the, SCF area. Post offices affected by this program in the Panama City area are: Panama City, Alford, A It ha, Bascom, Blountstown,. Bonifay, Campbellton, Caryville, Chipley, Cottondale, DeFuniak Springs, Fo u ntain, Freeport, Graceville, Grand Ridge, Green- wood, Lynn Haven, Malone, Mar- ianna, Ponce De Leon, Port St. Joe, Santa Rosa Beach, Sneads, Sunnyside, V e r non Wausau, Westville, Wewahitchka and Youngstown.
