There's hardly a one of us adults who don't envy the 109 seniors grad- uating from Port St. Joe High School Tuesday night of next week, as well as the thousands of other seniors who are receiving their diplomas all -over the nation. We don't particularly envy them their youth, although that would bp 'nice to recapture. We do envy them their opportunity. It's almost a trite expression each year to pump the . -graduates up with the opportunity Which awaits them in our world to- .- day. We can see, however, that the S',tatement is not so trite anymore. Even in this day of automation, the space age, the age of machines 'doing the work supposedly, it will ' ' still be necessary for the graduates ato put forth an effort to grasp the -t y , No Neu We don't know whether to pinch ourself to see if we're dreaming or don't do it and live on in bliss. The Legislature-both houses-- have come up with state budgets which show no new taxes and even a surplus at the end of the year. SThe unbelievable part is the propos- ed budgets have plenty of "whipped cream" in them to go along with the beans and bread The present financial condition of the state is so good, the Legisla- tors are even apologizing for not cut- ting taxes in this budget year of plen- ty. I we can believe what we read about our Legislators, though, a tax cut is in the wind next year. Not all the Legislators think -, '* S Well, it looks like the Russians, did it to us again. First they carted off all of our wheat, at' bargain prices some say. And now it devel- 'ops that they apparently hoodwinked us at the bargaining table on the mat- ter of arms limitations.. Columnist Joseph Alsop ob- seryes that the U.S. agreed to, limit itself to 600 submarine-launched nuclear missiles. The Soviet Union will be permitted to have 950 such missiles, because at the time of the talks the Soviet missiles were said to .be shorter-ranged. This presumedly made them less effective. After this agreement was reached, the Soviet plums offered them by our changing technology and way of life., Pe ole say it's impossible for a person to become a millionaire in our day. They say taxes prevent this. But there's so many more ex- citing things to do and accomplish in our time and our future, that be- commin a 'millionaire is almost an anticlimax. " SWhen one stops to, think that the average citizen right here 'in our present hour has so many /more lux- uries than even millionaires had 20 or 30 years ago, it really gives us a sense of excitement to imagine what's ahead. / And today's graduates will be right in the midst of a good part of these exciting things.

With the budget, which will range somewhere from the $2.275 billion planned by the House' to the $2.65 billion advocated.by the Senate, will finance the state's needs, give pay raises to employees, provide for more employees, give more money for the schools, provide a large chunk of money for Interstate highways and several other "one shot" capital expenditures and leave a little in the kitty for the following year. That's the way it ought to be. While we have the money build what we need, then when money gets tight give us a little tax break boys. We'll appreciate it. Union tested a submarine-launched nuclear' missile with a range of 4,500 miles-longer than .ny in the U.S. arsenal. It doesn't look like Uncle Sam is a very good poker player, and the stakes ate about as high as they can get. Add to this\the powerful congres- sional opposition to proposed levels of defense expenditures, which in- clude the development of such things, as a new and more effective nuclear striking force at sea, and you've got a worsened combination of foolish- ness. It is time we got .our heads screwed on straight while we still have them. After the launching of the first Russian satellite', our schools began to gear up to provide, a newer emphasis on 'scholarship. However, in the rush to provide- special instruction for the gifted, some schools have not bothered to make certain, necessary distinctions. Actually: there are all types of "gifted" children. Roughly speaking, their talents fall into three cate- gories: academic aptitudes, ,creativity, and leadership. Although some fortunate %youngsters excel in all three areas, a great number are outstanding, in only one. It is a halfway measure, there- fore, to set up one program for all talented children. The budding musician who has no proclivity whatsoever toward science needs a different type of handling from the mathematical genius '/with a high I.Q. And the well-liked boy who is running for president of the student council, but is not particularly brilliant or crea- tive, needs another kind of program to suit his talents. To underscore this point,' many business executives confess that they hated school and some even proudly declare that they never finished high school. A study by Dr.1 V. H. Goetzel former president of the National Associaiton for. Gifted Children, bears this out. With the assistance of his wife,' Dr. Goetzel has been looking into the childhood adjustments of 500 celebri- ties. He notes that such gifted people as Mark Twain, Grover Cleveland, Winston - Churchill, and scores' of others disliked school and misbehaved in the classroom. -Obviously there has always been a problem in meeting the' peculiar needs of the talented nonconformist. But many believe that the schools can do so, if they overhaul their conventional programs and set up chal- lenges for creative thinkers. It is claimed, for instance, that educators put too much store 'on I.Q. tests, thus depreciating the truly crea- tive child who becomes so bored by these examinations that he does poorly 'on them. J. O'Conner the well-known specialist in aptitude testing, has some interesting observa- tions on the "brilliant fail- ure." In studies conducted at the, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he and his aides discovered that student' success increased as the number of strong aptitudes went up, until a maximum of four or five was reached. 'After that, they had increas- ing difficulty.' The theory is that the seeds of later failure are planted early in school when "the child who suc- ceeds easily at everything is highly praised and never learns to work." Perhaps, too, the difficulty is due to the pull of so many interests in so many different direc- "tions on tlhe proverbial jack-of-all-trades. Thus, the problem of providing special education for the gifted is most complicated. Very few public school systems have ever met this challenge adequate- ly. At best, they have settled for either of two broad answers-acceleration or enrichment. In actual prac- tice neither method has ever been completely satisfactory; but more on this subject, in next week's column.

The beds, benches anc seedflats used for commer cial plant propagation are too large for home use but man3 small units can be set-up using materials you probably have hidden in your garage. Aquariums make' idea propagation units. Place al least an inch of gravel in th( tank bottom for "drainage 0o water from the overlying media. A 3-4 inch layer ol coarse sand, sphagnum moss or a half and half mixture ol peat and perlite or othei propagating. ;medium is placed on top of the gravel Moisten the medium and insert your, cuttings or sew seed. A glass or plastic covei on top of the aquarium will keep the' humidity higlI within. the container and prevent wilting of cuttings., Plastic, of polyethylene bags can also be used as pro- pagating units. Wrap damp sphagnum moss 'around the base of cuttings, insert into the plastic bag and tie the top. A few small holes in the bag will insure air exchange. Don't disturb until the cut- tings are rooted. The plastic bag can also be used to enclose an ordinary clay flower pot in which cuttings have been stuck. A couple of sticks in the pot will keep,the bag from collapsing on the cuttings. Almost any type of large container can become a propagating unit. A 1-gallon or 5-quart oil can is a good choice. Remove the top and wash out any oil residue. Punch a ring of 6-8 holes in the side halfway between top and bottom. Fill the can with small pea gravel to within 1 inch of the holes then cover the gravel with a 1-inch layer of sphagnum moss and fill the remainder of the can with sand. Wet the mix until water drains from the holes in the side of the can. This unit has a built-in water reservoir. Moisture will evaporate from the surface sand but water from the lower reservoir will Rep. Hutto Urges Approval of Bama Turnpike State Rep. Earl Hutto of Panama City has urged Gov. Reubin Askew to meet with Alabama officials concerning their plans for a proposed turnpike which would run from Northwest Alabama to somewhere in Southeast Ala- bama. Hutto, after meeting with Askew, said the Governor promised that the Depart- ment of Transportation would be in close consultation with Alabama authorities. Alabama Gov. George Wallace said recently that his state is losing millions of dollars annually because it does not have a major traffic artery from Northwest Ala- bama southward to Birming- ham and from Montgomery through Southeast Alabama to the Florida line. State Sen. Larry Register of Dothan, Ala., chairman of the Alabama Turnpike Authority, was quoted as saying the north-south route could intersect the Florida line anywhere from the Chattahoochee River to Bonifay. While the .exact routes of the proposed new toll roads have not been determined, a corridor has been planned which would parallel High- way 231 from Montgomery to Dothan and Highway 80 from the Mississippi line to Mont- gomery. Hutto said it is incumbent upon the state of Florida to work in cooperation with Alabafna to see that the traffic is channeled into Northwest Florida instead of heading tourists in the direction of central and south Florida. ' "We want. to be brought into the mainstream of the sunshine state and it is mandatory that we take steps now to see that we are not bypassed," Hutto said. "The spot where the proposed Alabama turnpike intersects the Florida -line is of utmost importance to our section of the state." It was right interesting to note a statement by County Commissioner Walter Graham at the regular meeting of the County Commission last Tuesday night. In discussing the financing of ambulance service for the county, Graham made the state- ment that if public funding is needed to perpet- uate ambulance service, he thought the municipal- ities in the county should pay a share since peo- ple who reside in the cities would be using the service. To Graham's credit, he thought the ci- ties should not pay a' full share, since county tax- es paid also by city dwellers would go into the county's payment, as well as taxes paid on rural property. The Commissioner felt (at Commis- sioner Player's suggestion) that a per-capita figure should be arrived at for ambulance costs with the cities being responsible for only a half share for each person in their limits. What was so interesting about Graham's rea- soning was the fact it wasn't too long ago that Port St. Joe City Commissioners appeared before the County Commission and used Graham's same argument in trying to convince the County Board they had an obligation to help finance hospital deficits since approximately half the hospital patients live outside the city. The City Commis- sion argument got nowhere, except to get the promise of a loan from the County. What's the difference, is what we'd like to know! a a Jerry Thomas, former president of the Flor- ida Senate, was in town Thursday meeting people. Mr. Thomas seems to be an unusual fellow. Not pnly did he have the convictions to change his registration from that of Democrat to Repub- lican (and he can give you definite reasons why he did), but he made no bones about why he was here. "I'mi trying to meet people and d6 a little politicking so I can run for Governor next year", he said. e Most politicians, when they start out this r early come up with an explanation 'like, just vis- iting friends over the state, or, getting a first hand report from the people or some other such - excuse., Few ever come right out and say, I'm running for such and such an office. Y Thomas said the state is tdo big to wait uh- P til next year to begin his politicking. So he has started early. it Our good friend Walter Dodson, former Flor- f ida Bank president. here, and now president of the Florida Bank in Titusville, sent me a gift last f week. Walter attended a Chamber of Commerce s, meeting where the Gannett Newspapers (The f Star of Central Florida) passed out. favors of cuff links and key chains made from an old lino- type. matrix, 'all polished up and gold plated. d Walter sent me a set.

Take it from one who knows. h move upward by capillarity like oil up a wick. Under normal conditions this unit will require water every 10-14' days. Such a unit will hold about twenty, 3-4 inch cut- tings of azalea, holly, hibis- cus or similar plants. This unit can be covered with polyethylene to reduce mois- ture loss but keep the unit out of full sun because it .can become extremely hot under the plastic. Numerous other containers such as pans, boxes or baskets can be used similarly to the units described. Make sure the containers have sufficient drainage so that the mix is not continually saturated with water. All of these units should be placed in partial shade. The cuttings must be prevented from drying out as would quickly occur in direct sunlight. Also, if cuttings are enclosed in plastic, temperatures in full sun will become so high that scalding will occur and. cuttings can die. Experiment with these and other propagating units you make-up yourself. You will be rewarded with plants to use around your home and they will cost you nothing except for the materials needed to build the propaga- tion units'. Langston Graduates From Drake Univ. Among the 900 persons receiving undergraduate degrees at Drake Universi-, ty's 92nd commencement, was David Langston, of Port St. Joe. David received his Bache- lor of Arts degree in Journalism at Drake. From The Living Bible I will praise you, my God and Iing, and bless your name each day and forever. Great is Jehovah! Greatly praise him! His greatness is beyond discovery! Let each generation tell its chil- dren what glorious things he 'does. I will meditate about your glory, splendor, majesty and miracles. Your awe-inspiring deeds shall be on every tongue; I will proclaim your greatness. Everyone will tell about how good you are, and sing about your, righteousness.

Bond Sa les Increase In Gulf Sales of Series E & H United States Savings Bonds in Florida during April were $13.2; million-up 3.8 per cent over April 1972. Florida residents pur- chased $54.6 million in Bonds the first four months of this year-an increase of $6.6 million over the same period last year. The state attained 41.2 per cent of its 1973 sales goal April 30. J. Ted Cannon, Gulf' County Volunteer Savings Bonds Chairman reported Bond sales in the county during April were $2,166. The county reached 21.9 per cent of its 1973 sales goal ,the end of April. The County Chairman noted that as of April 30 Americans held $59.3 billion in U.S. Savings Bonds, which is an increase of $3.4 billion over April of last year. - ) rages over the issue of big government v. individual rights-usually about once a day-there is inevitably a cluster of whispering legisla- tors surrounding the desk of Rep. William Rish, Democrat from Port St. Joe.- "A few of the boys, both Democrats and Republicans, come by wanting to know if I will support their view," Rish says. "My vote's worth only one like everybody else's but if they think it's worth more then I feel flattered," .Bandmaster Thomas Odadzin tells his banquet given band mnebers Saturday. Senior band members "Goodbye" at a (Star photo) When the 40-year-old Meth- odist lay preacher rises to speak for the cause, oppo- nents often have found, to their dismay, his- one vote carries quite a few others. One reason Rish speaks with such convincing convic- tion is he knows his constituents in the Panhandle counties of Gulf and Bay are applauding every word. "My constituents are just hard-working, honest people who don't want the govern- ment regulating every min- ute of their lives," he says. "They want to make a living, raise a family and worship God or not worship God as they see fit in their own way-and be left alone." A former milkman who Worked his way through the University of Florida 'Law School at the age of 30, Rish first won election to the House in 1970. "I suppose I decided I wanted to be a state representative when I was a little bitty boy," he says. His easy re-election last year was apparent proof his constituents like his stand for the little man. "If I can ascertain the wishes of a majority of my' people on a very important issue, then I try to adopt that position as mine," he ex- plains. "But I usually don't have to adopt it because usually it's mine already." Rish says he had' no trouble determining his people's pulse on "gut issues" like the Equal Rights Amendments and 18-year-old drinking. He voted against both. "We don't always know what thh people are wanting on small matters but we usually know what their general philosophy of life is," he adds. Although the representa- tives of a metropolis like Miami might find it difficult to glean one philosophy of life in their districts, in Port St. Joe life is not so complex. It's a "Company town", with more than half of the work force employed by the huge Port St., Joe Paper Company. In neighboring Panama City, which also falls partial- ly in Rish's district, the largest industry is Internat- ional Paper Co. "In a small community like mine, we don't have a caste system," says Rish. "The richest man in town takes his kid to the same park to play ball with the kid whose daddy works at the other end of the machine." Rish won the devotion of many of his constituents, in 1971 when he insisted 4he state Commerce Department try to settle a community- stifling eight-month strike at Port St. Joe Paper Co., owned by Ed Ball's Dupont estate. "The state came in and did more good in a week or two than the federal mediation service had done in months," recalls Rish. The strike was soon over and mill workers who had been forced to commute as far as Biloxi, Miss., to find work could return to their jobs and homes. Law and order are import- ant to the people of Port St. Joe, Rish says, and he makes sure their concern is voiced in Tallahassee.

Principals employed for the coming year include: Howard Blick, Highland View Ele- mentary School; Harry Her- rington and assistant Allen Scott, Port St. Joe Elemen- tary School; Ken Herring and assistant- Edwin Williams, Port St. Joe High School; Hugh Semmes, Wewahitchka Elementary School and Har- rell, Holloway, Wewahitchka High School. Another move made by the Board was the elimination of 12 teaching positions thruout the system. Supervisor of Schools David Bidwell said the county was employing 117 percent of its teacher alloda- tion as prescribed by the State Department of Educa-' tion. "This meant Gulf County was paying the entire salary of some 25 teachers with no state money to help carry the load. State allocation for each teacher amounts to around $13,000 per year, so this will lighten the county's financial load considerably". The Superintendent pointed out the county system will still have 12-13 teachers over the quota set by the state.

Right Foods Can Help Your Heart In the spring of life, a young persons fancy should be turned towards foods that will help his heart later on, says Florida Heart 'Associ- ation. In,a springtime message to mothers and young people, -your Heart : Association advises setting a table that serves less fatty foods with an eye to calorie intake so that overweight is prevented. While this is good advice for every member of the family, it is' particularly important for young' people, many of whom have high levels, of fatty substances in their blood, or who have one or both parents with this condi- tion. Atherosclerosis-a disease of the arteries that is closely -linked with heart attack and stroke-is caused by deposits of cholesterol and other fats found so abundantly in snacks favored, by -young people-hot dogs, fatty ham- burgers, oil-soaked French fries and potato chips, ice cream and other rich des- serts. Every year, heart attack is reaching, down to, younger age groups, says your Heart. Association. Many studies have shown that this disease can start early in life, so a sound eating pattern developed in the early days can do, a great deal to lower the risk of dying from coronary artery disease irn the prime of life. in most cases, moderate changes in food serving can achieve the goal of helping young hearts. Generally, these are the points for young people and homemakers to follow, says Florida Heart: Eat more meals with fish, chicken, turkey and veal. If beef, pork, ham or lamb are served, make sure that they. are lean, and the portions moderate. / Most hot dogs have a high percentage of fat. You can continue to eat hamburgers, if they're made from lean ground meat and broiled so the melted fat drips out. (Hamburgers fried or done on a griddle cook in-and absorb-their own fat.) Avoid fried foods, except those made with a little polyunsaturated oil or mar- garine. Substitute margarine for butter as a spread and in other, uses, including baking. Be sure to use a margarine that lists liquid oil as its major ingredient. This would be the first item mentioned oh the label and should be corn, sunflower or safflower oil. Avoid coconut oil; it is high in saturated fat. Cut back on use of luncheon meats, sausages and salami. These, like hot dogs, are high in saturated fats, the kinds CARD OF THANKS I would like to take this- means to thank the people of the Long Avenue Baptist Church -and the other churches of our community for their prayers, flowers, kindness and concert during the illness and death of my father.

Navy Has A New Program WASHINGTON, D.C.- The Navy has. implemented a pilot program wherein cer- tain Navy veterans who reenlist under broken-ser- vice conditions, can- be guaranteed duty assignments 3 of their choice. The program, known as PRISE, recognized the advantages of' gaining R) trained and experienced manpower from the commun- ity of former servicemen. Under the Prise Pilot Program, guaranteed assign- ments will be offered to broken service Naval vet- erans who reenlist in the Regular Navy for 4;. 5 or 6 years. Applicants opting for 4 or 5 years will go to sea and will be given a choice of geographic location (such as port, country or coast) as well as type of ship. Those reenlisting for 6 years will have the additional option of an initial tour of shore duty in the i geographic area of their choice. All applicants S riust be ready to reenlist 9C within 48 hours once the availability of a billet match- ing their preferences is p onfirpmed. To qualify for the program, Naval. veterans must have Sc been separated from active 9C duty for more than 3 months but not more than 4 years, must be eligible to reenlist as i petty officers or designated C strikers, and must have reenlistment code RE-R1 or ars) RE-1. They must also be 00n reenlisting in a rating and paygrade CREO category A er or B of the current Open Rates-Skills list. Another new reenlistment option is the PRISE II (Second Chance) Program. The PRISE II program is essentially an extension of the Navy's School Guarantee Program to broken-service ex-navy reenlistees or enlistees from other services. Those signing up under PRISE I' program enter at -paygrade E-3 and attend "A" school in a rate other than that held during their last period of active duty. The PRISE programs are an attempt to offer a broad package of reenlistment incentives to both Navy and other armed service vete- rans, as the Navy continues to seek highly qualified personnel to man its highly sophisticated and complex ships 'and stations. 4-H Club Members Take Win S BY Lessie M.

(Star photo) Paroled Prisoners Perform The increasing tendency to release prisoners on parole 'and probation in the State of Florida is swelling the' number of people being released from prison, under supervision by nearly 8,000 people a year, Ernest Lang- ford, Parole Officer for this area told the Rotary Club Thursday. Of the 38,492 prisoners on parole and probation thruout the state, Gulf County has eight out on parole and 21 on probation. * "Actually, the program saves the tax-payers money" Langford said, "As well as giving the released prisoner a, chance to go, straight and support his. family". The speaker went ,on to say "It costs about $11,000 a year to keep a man in prison, Prisoners on parole last year paid enough taxes from their earnings to pay .for his super- vision costs while he is being rehabilitated". Supervising, parolees and probationers isn't the only jobof the parole officer. Thbev also conduct pre-sentence investigations, pardon board investigations and post-seri- tence investigations. Every person sentenced by the courts receives either a post/ ,or pre-sentence investigation. As, an interesting side- light, Langford. said that over half of his "clients" are between the ages of 17 and 22 and have less than a high school education.

The terms of the contract for the club's third-round draft choice *were nqt dis- closed. ' "David's quickness is very impressive?" Tamns Coach Bob Bass said. "He has very good anticipation on defense. He has the ability to sense loose balls and cause turn- overs by harassing the oppo- sition. And his outside shooting was good in the games in which I scouted him." Langston played at Port St. Joe High School, where he led the Sharks to.a State Class B Championship. He played at Gulf :Coast Junior College on an athletic Yscho- larship before transferring to Drake."

Pridgeon, begin- ning June 1, Florida sports- men will have 30 days to obtain new hunting and fishing licenses for the 1973-74 seasons-whereas, heretofore such licenses were not available until about mid- June.

E. Frye. In prior years, the licenses were sold by county judges and were available around mid-June. The new setup gives .sportsmen 30 days to obtain their licenses before expiration deadline on the old. The Game Commis- sion sells the commercial licenses. Licenses available to sportsmen include the follow- ing: Resident -statewide, com- bination hunting and fishing, $10.50; resident statewide fishing, $3.00; resident state- wide, hunting, $7.50; resident, home county, $2.00; resident other than home county, $4.50; resident or non-resi- dent for hunting presqve, $5.50.

The volume of Florida's catch was 168 million pounds, only' slightly higher than 1971's 165 million pounds which had been the lowest volume, for the state's com- mercial fish catch in fourteen years. "However, the state's com- mercial fishermen did land a greater volume of :,*,-.,r- spiny lobster and other of the more valuable p-.;: last year. And, at the same time, there was an increase in the -market price of most species of finfish in response to increased consumer demands," said Ronald S., *- Jr., Executive Vice ;. -. 1..- t of the Florida State of Commerce.

Depart- ment of Commerce report, shrimp was, the most valu- able catch, $21 million for 27 million :.,. .n2 This repre- sented -an increase of one million ; ..- -: and $4 million over 1971's catch. Florida spiny lobster landings amounted to, 11 million pounds, valued at .'.'. over $11 million .last year, increasing by three million pounds, and $4 million in one year. Other than shrimp and spiny lobster, Florida crabs, oysters and other shell fish came to $5 million for 23 million pounds. This was a loss in volume of 4 million pounds, but an/ increase of $105,000 in value. Florida finfish-pompano, mullet mdehaden and others came to $16 million for a total of 106 million pounds.
