The Christmas spirit was displayed by a
group of Bradenton men last Thursday at they
gathered up food, toys, Christmas trees, candy
and fruit cake and brought it to Port St. Joe to
give to those who might not have a merry Christ-
mas.
The leader of the group, A. D. Phillips, said
members of his group,' the Suncoast Search and
Rescue Squadron, read in the papers of the bleak
Christngas faced by strikers of St. Joe Paper Com-
pany, sp they went to work, gathered up "Christ-
mas", loaded it into their trucks and headed for
Port St. Joe.


to Port St. Joe

The three truck loads of food and goodies_
were turned over to Police Chief H. W. Griffin
and Port St. Joe 'Jaycees President Milo Smith,
to see that it was distributed where it was needed
most. In addition, the good samaritans brought
along $100.00 as a gift to those wlho might need
it. i

Free Pap Smear Tests Being Offered


The Gulf County Chapter of
the American Cancer Society is
offering free Pap smears Tues-
day, January 11 to be conducted
in the Gulf County Health De-
partment on Long Avenue. The
tests will be available from 9:00
a.m. until noon and from 1:00
until 4:00 p.m.
Carcinoma of the cervix is
completely curable if caught and
treated in the early stages. This
disease is the most common
cause of cancer in women.


The Gulf County Health De-
partment in cooperation with the
Division of Health and the
American Cancer Society is hold-
ing an initial procedure clinic
for all women at the Health De-
partment in Port St. Joe on Tues-
day, January 11. Dr. Shirley
Simpson will conduct the clinic.
All women who have had ab-
normal Pap smears or those who
have not had a smear done in the
last year are urged to take ad-
vantage of this clinic.


County grand jury next month
for re-indictment after a Gulf
County indictment was thrown
out two weeks ago by Judge D.
R. Smith of Ocala, on a techni-
cality. If indicted, the pair face
trial for first degree murder
probably in February.
The two are charged with the
1963 murder of Grover Floyd
'and Jesse Burkett.
In another aspect of the long
drawn out case, Governor Reu-
bin Askew granted permission
last week allowing Dade County
Public Defender Phillip A. Hub-

End of Year


S- -With the end of another year, we are beginning to
see the usual resumes of last year and what it had to of-
fer us. Here in Port St. 'Joe it offered us an economic
kick in the pants with the crippling five-month-old strike
against St. Joe Paper Company. But all is not as bleak
as it. could be. Five months ago, if we had been asked,
"Can the economic community of Port St. Joe survive a
five month strike at St. Joe Paper and remain reasonably
intact?" we would have had to reply, "No way". But,
mostly, we are all here.
We are now reading in the dailies that the war on
:inflation is won, with credit given to President Nixon's
wage and. price freeze for slowing the rate of inflation to
the three percent which was logged' for 1971. This is
good news-the reduction in the rate of inflation-but it
doesn't necessarily mean that the war against inflation
has been won. It could possibly mean that only this partic-
ular battle has been won, with much of the war still to be
fought.


On the very next page one column, we read where
economists predict a boom year for 1972, with every
phase of the economy to pick up, again giving the credit
to the price, wage manipulation. This is good news to
all who must earn their living each week. On the other
hand, such predictions fortell of the greatest enemy to the
stabilization of inflation. Booms are caused by demand on
production; so is inflation.
Looking closer to home, we can see a boom year for
Port St. Joe, if we can only use a little common sense and
settle this nagging paper mill strike.
The 'St. Joe' Paper Company has committed itself to
a major construction program to cover a span of four or
five years. The City of Port St. Joe is embarking on an
.$8 million waste water treatment plant to serve the city
and industry within the next month. All of this construc-
tion means jobs. These extra jobs along with our regular
jobs can mean a banner year for Port St. Joe. We can
use it.


Introducing "Stoop"


Senator Henry M. Jackson, Democrat of Washington,
will visit in Port St. Joe next Wednesday evening, so we
thought. you might like to know a little about him and
what-his chances are in securing the Democratic nomi-
nation. -
The Senator has been known since childhood by the
nickname of Scoop. Like other nicknames, it was given
innocently enough by his older sister, Gertrude, because
her little brother reminded her of a character in a cartoon
strip that the bore the name Scoop-Cub Reporter.
The comic strip started its existence on the front page
of "The Everett Herald" in Washington on March 12, 1912,
two months before the Senator was born. His sister said
she thought that he had the same initiative and inquisitive
znatiure as Scoop, the Cub Reporter in the cartoon.
Henry M. Jackson has represented his State in Wash-


ington, D. C., for thirty years, 12 in the House of Repre-
sentatives and 18 in the Senate. His initiative this year
has emboldened him to plan to seek the Presidency of the
United States.
It would be an enormous scoop if he could bring it
off. Out in front of him in the Democratic race are Sen-
ator Edmund S. Muskie of Maine and Senator Edward M.
Kennedy of Massachusetts. Senator Jackson has given no
hostages to the left or right, but he does have some pow-
erful friends, including organized labor. He is very much
his own man. Management also thinks highly of him.
He has a wife and two children. His Wife, Helen, re-
minds people of race Kelly, Princess of Monaco. That
should be no hindrance to his chances. Senator, Jackson
also understands the need for a strong national defense,
and has no illusions about Communist intentions. That
should not hurt him with the silent majority.


Back to the Cave?


Human progress has been measured in many ways.
None is more striking than that of"N. W. Freeman, chief
executive of a large international business organization.
Referring t0- a popular book by Alvin' Toffler, Mr.-
Freeman, in the course of a recent address to an engineer-
ing group, notes that, "Ninety percent of all the scientists
who ever lived are alive now. If you divided man's latest
history into. 800 lifetimes, you'd find that the first 650
spent their lives in caves. Only the last six saw a printed

countless beaches. Palms waved
their constant welcome; a green
thumber's paradise where fruits,
flowers and vegetables could be
grown the year 'round. Where
almost every variety of fish a-
waited the sportsman. Whatever
your heart desired, Florida had
it in quantity.
Millions responded. The song
of the bulldozer was heard
throughout the land. To accom-
modate the advancing herd, pro-
moters and builders turned
thousands of acres of so-called
wastelands into thriving com-
munities. Tiny fishing villages
quickly became metropolitan
areas. Cities expanded so rapid-
ly that the construction of neces-
sary facilities and service was
dififcult to provide. Sewage be-
came a problem. Trash and gar-
bage became a problem. Roads
and highways became a problem.
Schools and hospitals became ,a
problem and taxes to finance
such rapid growth became a pro-
blem.
Older areas of towns and cities
became slums. Birds and other
forms of wild life fled in panic.
Erosion destroyed many beauti-
ful beaches and seawalls replac-
ed glistening white sand beaches.
Hotels and high-rise apartments
crowded ever closer to natural
water lines. Dredging destroyed
the breeding grounds of every
variety of sea life.
While the famous Gold Coast
was experiencing its growth and
development, residents of the
charming town of Naples on the
lower west coast watched in


ed of making Naples another
Miami Beach, a group of more
serious minded residents banded
together to save Naples from
such a fate.
They formed an active group
they named The Collier County
Conservancy. They were deter-
mined to save the natural beau-
ty and environment of Naples


Schools 'Receive

State Money

Florida's 67 county school sys-
tems will share $50.8 million this
month for transportation, teachers
salaries, educational improvement
and other expenses, Comptroller
Fred 0. (Bud) Dickinson said to-
day.
The monthly distribution is the
state's share of funds for operation
of public schools, grades kinder-
garten through twelfth.
The Comptroller said $48 mil-
lion of the support money is pro-
vided by the state Minimum Foun-
dation Program, the legislative
formula for funding the K-12 pro-
gram, and $2.7 million in sales tax
funds especially earmarked for
this purpose.
Gulf County will receive $112,

'Patrol Predicts

30 Fatalities

TALLAHASSEE The Florida
Highway Patrol predicted today
that 30 persons may die in traffic
crashes during the New Year's
Holiday period.
Patrol Director, Colonel Reid
Clifton said, "Alcohol and speed
action to these ends, has selected
are expected to contribute to
many of the traffic deaths. If you
plan to attend a New Year's party,
don't attempt to drive away if
you are under the influence of
intoxicants which could lead to
your death."
Clifton urged hosts to have non-
alcoholic beverages on hand for
drivers or help make arrangements
for transportation for those who
might be drinking.
The New Year's Holiday begins
Thursday, December 30, at 6:00
P.M., and ends Sunday, January 2,
at midnight. If the Patrol's predic-
tion, is correct, one person will die
every two and. one-half hours dur-
ing the 78-hour period.
The Patrol plans to use all avail-
able troopers, auxiliarymen, air-
craft ,radar, VASCAR, and un-
marked patrol cars in an effort to
combat the expected highway
deaths.
Colonel Clifton concluded by
urging drivers to "keep the bottle
and the throttle separated and AR-
RIVE ALIVE, as this is our last
stand to hold down traffic deaths
in 1971."

When it was learned that a
group of developers planned to
turn a local bay and rookery in-
to a giant subdivision and build
a city of 30,000 homes they got
busy. Residents of Naples raised
money enough to purchase the
site and keep it out of the hands
-of developers. They rescued
some 4,000 acres and invested
$450,000, but felt it was worth-
while. Tropical birds still roost

We read and observe where the long haired male
is going out of style. Slowly, but surely, the shorter
hair style is coming backs into being after a couple of
years (seems like more) of boys with long, scraggly hair.,
They say there is some good in everything, and after
tolerating the long hairs for this long, we find now there
was a practical use for the flowing locks. Scientists say
the long hair muffles noise pollution and has probably
kept many a young man from going deaf listening to the
blaring hard rock music which went along hand in hand
with the long hair.
They say squirrels grow a thicker coat in the win-
ter, the birds instinctively migrate to a warmer climate
and back to where they came from at the proper time.
Trees don't try to put out new growth before the last
cold weather is gone and a groundhog doesn't come out
of his burrow before winter is over.
Maybe the long hair was an instinct to protect the
precious ears. The hard rock music is on the way out
too, just a step ahead of the long hair.

Christmas has come and gone and I had a time buy-
ing toys for,the grandsons that were approved and safe
with no cutting or sharp edges to damage the recipients.
It's a hard job trying to find something'a kid can't get
hurt on.
Michael can surely fall out of his wagon. Richard
can poke a Lincoln Log down his throat or in his eye,
and Stephen could probably hurt himself on the smoking
diesel truck he received. There were other toys around
that can probably injure. About the only thing we know
to do in this dangerous toy proposition is to buy them each
a straight jacket and wrap them up in it. This is about
the only way we know of keeping an active young boy
(or girl) from getting hurt in anything he does.
Mothers might go along with that suggestion at
times.
.* *
My wife got a "dangerous toy" for Christmas. She
received a wheelbarrow under the Christmas tree. That's
a very dangerous toy 'and I plan to do my best to stay as
far away from that thing as I possibly can.
There's nothing more dangerous than something to
work with.

President Nixon called Prime Minister Heath of
Great Britain and wished him a "Merry Christmas" over
the holidays. That was a nice gesture after the Presi-
dent told him the week before that what the U. S. owed
him was worth nearly eight per cent less than the day
before.

Speaking of calling greetings Sunday afternoon,
Frenchie and I called sister and brother-in-law in St. Paul,
Minnesota to wish them well. Yankee brother-in-law an-
swered the phone and I said, "George,. do you know who
this is?" "No, I don't", he said, "But I know it's some-
body from down South". I didn't know' I had that much
of a drawl. We caught all of the Francours at home.

Howard P. Eells Retires As


President of Basic, Inc.


Basic Incorporated announced to-
day that Howard P. Eells, Jr., had
retired as Chairman of its Board of
Directors. He had served as its Pre-
sident and Chief Executive Officer
from 1919 to the end of 1965 and
as Chairman of its Board since that
time. He will continue as a Direc-
tor and as a Consultant to the Com-
pany.
The interest of the Eells family
in Basic dates from 1909, when Mr.
Eells' father acquired a substantial
interest in the business. Mr. Eells
himself has been continuously con-
nected with it since 1916, except
for his active military service on
the Mexican Border and overseas
in the American Expeditionary
Forces during the first World War.
During that period, Basic has
steadily progressed to a leading
position in refractories that it pre-
sently enjoys.
In behalf of the Government and
as its contribution to the country's
defense in 1962, the company pro-
jected, designed and brought into
successful production an $150,000,!

Port St., Joe has received. its.
share of fame during the past
year ,i the daily press about
Florida.
One of the most written about
"claims to fame" was the PittsW
Lee case which was ranked about
number 12 in importance as a
news stdry last year and which'
.provided the vehicle for writers
'over the state to imagine all
kinds of things about Port St.
Joe.- It was easy for 'us here to
see which writers hal visited in
Port St. Joe and which ones
hadn't. Most of them had not.'
Then there was the St. Joe Pa-;
per Company strike with the ma-,
gic words "Ed Ball" providing
grist for every 'kind of story
.imagineable.. You'd think ,Mr.
Ball was a seven foot, '250 pound
giant rather than' an average to
small size man by reading some
of the *.reports of lis maneuverss.
Some. of our, better- "ptir s'
didn't get the coverage we
thought !it was due in Port St..
Joe's -winning the state Class AA
football championship. However,
one of, the. rteleaseq reprinted
'here is a pleasant exceptioni.,

SThe. following. pa r a graphs.

'Press and didn't actually treat us
'bad, though it is 'plain to see, the'

The atricle is taking some oth !

picting Port St. Joe and reads as
:'follows:,
"The newspaper also contends f;
that the defense., (of Pitts .,and.
Lee) has depicted unfairly the
S10,096 inhabitants of Gulf Coun-
ty as "ignorant, 1ynch-happy

"This is hardly the'faet It is
fair, nonetheless, to depict Port

FOOTBALL BIGO
IN ST. JOE
by BILL BUCHALTER
'Assistant Spdrts Editor
On the road to' port St. Joe-
you can get there from here.
You "really can. .And /when you
get there, youi won't believe' ii
anyway.
Port St, Joe, which is the lar-
gest metropolis in Gulf Counts
which 'is bigger than ;only one
other among Florida's 67, rests
comfortably at"'the bottom of
the Panhandle in Northwest
Florida, nestled snugly against
the Gulf 'of Mexico.
Its prime industries are the
St. Joe Paper Co., which is cur.-
rentty ot operating over a la-
bor-Ed Ball impasse, and; com-
miercial fishing which is doing
very well. The majority of' the
land is owned by the paper dom-
pany estate 'which' is, of course,
watched ovpr by Ed Ball.
And its biggest entertainment
is the Port St. Joe High ,S cool
football and basketball teams
which have, been-making lead.
lines from Pengacola to Key
West for the past' several years.
In the pastJtwp', seasons; Port
St. Joe ..ha-elniated twoun-
beaten Central .lorida per-
houses .whb jus. hapl ne4 to
have been rike' .num en,]| in
their class--which. is AA thsec-
ond smallest category a ong
Florida. saioolsr:., This s ans
there. are ltss than 300 boys in
the uppeOr three grades'., ;
So to find:out whatnmakes'this
town -4ick thleti iy, ave
to get'there first. And tflatf'm
friend, takes some doi0g.,.-
Starting from Tallahasleeporit
St. Joe is only 100 mlces td'th|^
southwest via- State *ad.l 3'p
and the Gulf Highway which is
numbered 98. W a
You pass through Wakulla and
Franklin counties, through Gat-'
rabelle, Apalachicola, 'IMedart,
Lanark Villaea Fa st n^i.t.. _


I


I---~ ~.a.AUJUL~


St. James. You cross the Ochlock-
nee (his spelling) and Apalachi-
cola Rivers and on .one stretch
of road between Carrabelle and,
Apalachicola;' the: -gulf is' just a
first down away 'from, the high-
way. '
Florida's Last. Frontier
Just. off the main road are such
communitiess as Alligator Point,:
...Sopchopy. and' Sumatra. Signs'
tell pf, the countryside,
"Welcome .t6* Car-abelle, the
fisherman's paradise," reads one.
"Florida's Last Frontier," reads
another, advertising real estate'.
They' are not far,.wrong. Black
bears still roam Franklin Coun-
ty and nicknames for high school
teams in these parts are the
Sharks.
The bible belt. Baptist upbring-
ing is .evident in the names: St.
Teresa's Beach, St. James, St.
George Island. V
There's folksy humor, too. One
sign alongside highway 98 reads
"Carrabelle' Inteilational Air-
port, one mile." .
And then, finally, you are in
Port St. Joe. '
Wow! What a shocker.
A beautiful .new high school
recently completed, at a cost of
$1.1 million, (try' twice amount, Bill -e-d.) serves the
South end of the county. Wewa-
hitchka has a' -school 'to serve


the northern end on the Blounts-
town highway.
When Father Lopez of Day-
tona Beach and 'Eustis high
schools played in: the" football
playoffs, the past two years, they
saw as fine a high school fa-
cility as there is in the state.'
The Port St. Joe Quarterback
Club recently completed 2,500-
seat permanent concrete facility"
with press box at a minimal cost
of $243,000 (more like $23,000--
ed). Combined with another 2,000
temporaryy bleachers, ,the Sharks
have 'a comfortable capacity of-
4,500 which is usually overflow-
ing. Before games, a fish fry
keeps the air filled with the aro-
ma of the'area.
At the high- school sits a gym-
nasium facility which Orlando
would love to duplicate. It's a
rectangular-shaped (eirculdr --
ed.) building which is attached
to the' rest of .the school and has
a capacity for' seating 5,000 fans
should the need arise. When Gulf
Coast Sunior College at nearby
Paniama City 'played Vincennes
(Ind.~'last year, more than 3,000
flocked to watch. There are 2,500
permanent seats in the facility
now ,! .,: .. ..' .
With this type of ficality and
a winning tradition,. Prt St. Joe
is toigh to beat-eseecially at
home. Father Lopez learnui that,


20-15, last year and Eustis did
likewise two weeks ago, 14-0.
Port St. Joe points with pride
to the, Langston brothers, David
and Norris, and a passel of Qther
athletes. David Langston is' now
starting for' Drake University's
strong basketball team. Norris is
starting for Livinigston (Ala.)
College's NAA football cham-
pions.
Men Behind the Team
Key man behind Port St. Joe's .
new-found athletic energies are-
Gene Raffield, who owns, the.
largest commercial fishing busi- :
ness in the area and Wayne Tay-
lor, the clever coach of the;
Sharks:, Both. were.' teamniates on
the 1956 Port St. Joe team: and
have returned to :help the corn-
munity grow. "'
Raffield is also a leading
school board figure who was in-
strumental in getting the. facili-
ties built. Through his efforts,
those of the quarterback ,club
and the athletes themselveskwho
donated time and labor,;.Poit St.
Joe has something, unbel ving
to the city slicker.
The. Class AA A state football
championship will be held in'
ShArk Country' Friday uight
when Cross City invades thdP ort?!' i
:.St. Joe lair.,
* Win or lose,.Port St.. Joe has
made a believer out of me, :even
'f it takes 70 minutes 'to rive.
60. miles.,on these roads, irntead
ofl the usual 60 to drive 70 on:
the state's superhighways; even
fif I had to pass a swine show to
get there.
