Donor Wishes to Contribute to Construction


New Life Breathed Into




Construction of Library


A new library for Port St.
Joe gained new life Tuesday
when it was learned at the
County Commission that a
local man wished to make a
sizeable donation to its con-
struction.
' County Attorney William J.
Rish said he had been ap-
proached by an individual who
wished to make a sizeable
contribution if the County
Commission was in a recep-
tive mood with going ahead
with construction of a new
library building.
At present the county li-


brary here in Port St. Joe is in
cramped rented quarters near
the Post Office.
The Board received .the
news in an agreeable manner
and wished to meet with the
donor to see if a plan for
receiving the gift could be
worked and progress started
up once more on the project.
The County had been setting
aside federal revenue sharing
funds for the past few years
for the purpose of building a
new library building, but as
yet nothing had been started.
The County currently has on


hand and will receive through
this fiscal year, approxi-
mately $50,000 which could be
used for library construction.
One of the financial prob-
lems is that, although federal
matching money is available
for library construction, the
county cannot use the revenue
sharing funds for matching
money. It must be locally
generated funds to qualify for
the matching grants.
The Commission agreed to
go ahead with the planning
and Chairman Eldridge Mon-
ey appointed a committee


consisting of Rish, Money,
Clerk George Core, and Com-
missioners Silas Player and
Otis Davis to meet with the
possible donor to discuss the
program.
There js still no guarantee
that the library will be built
but with the new events com-
ing to light, the possibilities
are getting better than they
have been at any time in the
past.
Advocates of adequate li-
brary service in the county
have advocated construction


of a library building here
almost since the county
branch of the Northwest Re-
gional Library was .establish-
ed here several years ago.
Chief Librarian, Mrs. Jane
Patton has said the library
could offer far more services
than it does with practically
no additional cost if adequate
space was available.
The committee appointed by
Chairman Money 'will meet
with the donor in the very near
future to begin negotiations.


Now operates from this rented building


Purchase of Peninsula



Loses Favor with State


St. Joseph's Peninsula, a prime
source of coveting by the State's
Department of Natural Resources since
early this year, has apparently iost
favor with the state. According to
information released Tuesday from
state sources, the land parcel now
faces the possibility of being removed
from the state's priority list for
purchase as environmentally endan-
gered land.
The Interagency Planning Council
has asked Natural Resources Director
Harmon Shields to schedule a special
meeting Noveinber.24 to consider the
action
The peninsula property was a hot
prospect to receive the protection of the
state this year, by purchase to let it


remain in a "pristine" state. Environ-
mentalists and a sea specimen dealer
from Wakulla County, Jack Rudloe,
were trying to get the state to purchase
the property and let it lie dormant.
Local interests, largely, wanted the
property to remain in private owner-
ship.
Ney Landrum, director of the
endangered land program, says there
are too many areas already on the
priority list.
Most members of the, planning
council, which screens endangered land
proposals for Shields and makes rec-
ommendations to the governor and
cabinet, agree that projects cannot be
added to the list forever.
Of $200 million originally raised by


a bond issue to buy endangered land,
$105 million is left and council members
are concerned about the distribution of
the remaining money.
Says Landrum, "We can't keep
adding them in open-ended fashion. If
we're going to take on new ones and
start negotiations, then we've got to-'
stop negotiations on some already
there."
Before the state had backed down
because of changing priorities with the
money available, they had already
crawfished on their deal when it was
learned the land owners were wanting
about $1.3 million too much for the.
property. It had been offered to the
state for $5.1 million and was appraised
by the DNR appraisers at $3.8 million.

Red Bull Island Property



Owners Have Problems


Residents and property
owners of Red Bull Island
development thought they
were due some road mainte-
nance and bridge repair from
the county and approached the
County Commission with their
desires Tuesday morning.
The County Commission, on
the other hand thought it was
not their business to perform
the work, since the area is not
an accepted subdivision on the
county books.
In the words of veteran
County Commissioner Silas
Player, "We will have to have
a formal request from the City
of Wewahitchka before we
could proceed with any main-
tenance". The Red Bull Island
portion of the county is located
in the City of Wewahitchka.
John C. Barnes was the
spokesman for several Bay
County property owners in the
area and he spent about 10
minutes explaining to the
Commission that a bridge
which crosses a man-made
canal in the vicinity needs
repairs in order for property
owners to get to their proper-
ty.
Barnes explained that the
bridge had been built by the
developer of the property,
Charles Parker, Mexico
Beach developer, and heavy
rains and high water had
made it unsafe to cross. His
group wanted the bridge re-
paired or a detour built until
the bridge could be built.
Mrs. Beth Fuselier, spent
about 45 minutes telling the
Board she would oppose any
restriction in the canal to put
in a temporary culvert and
she was also wanting roads in
the vicinity maintained by the
county. "The roads.were built
by Mr. Parker and have been
worked only twice by, the


county", she charged. Mrs.
Fuselier estimated that ap-
proximately $14,000 in county
taxes was generated by the
property each year and she
felt they were due some road
work.
Clerk George Y. Core put
one problem on the table when
he explained that the County
had never accepted the sub-
division and would need the
request of the City of Wewa-
hitchka in order to work the
streets. He further explained
that no ad valorem taxes were
spent on road work. "All road
work is financed by gasoline
and racetrack taxes."
Attorney William J. Rish
then unloaded another prob-
lem on the matter when he
stated that the Federal Gov-
ernment had filed a suit
against the property for build-
ing the canal and putting fill
dirt in the Chipola River
without the proper permit. He
explained the federal suit
charged the county and ev-
eryone else not to touch "a
shovelful of dirt" on the land
until the suit could be taken
care of in the courts.
Rish said, "Under this rul-
ing we don't dare work any
roads or disturb in any man-
ner the banks of the Canal."
It was learned the County
had already started putting in
a culvert to give relief to the
people who needed to use the
damaged bridge.
Rish said the county should
remove all they had put into
the canal and back off. To
solve the property owners'
problem, he suggested the
county contact the necessary
federal agency to allow them
to repair the bridge.
Mrs. Fuselier then put in her
bid for road maintenance.
"You are working roads in


other subdivisions in the coun-
ty and we pay taxes too. We
deserve streets we can use.
Our streets are impassable on
any but a sun-shiny day."
Again the Commission re-
minded Mrs. Fuselier, they
couldn't touch the streets
without permission of the City
of Wewahitchka.
It was learned then that the
City of Wewahitchka had not
accepted the subdivision
either.
After the dust settled nearly
an hour and a half later, the
County agreed to service the
roads if the City of Wewa-
hitchka would request the
work in writing. They also
agreed to make emergency
repairs to the bridge provided
the Federal Government
would allow it in face of the
suit.
AMBULANCE PURCHASED
The County Commission
agreed to purchase a third
ambulance vehicle for the
county volunteer ambulance
service at Tuesday's meeting.
The county now operates two
vehicles in the county-one in
Wewahitchka and one in Port
St. Joe. The third vehicle
would provide back-up service
primarily for the Port St. Joe
area, but also for the entire
county in case of a break-down
in one of the present vehicles.
The machine was purcl-: sed
when local squad cihef R. D.
Lamberson recently told the
Board they were in a position
of getting caught on calls with
the present car out on call. He
also noted the advancing age
of the vehicles made break-
downs a threat.
The new vehicle, a modular
ambulance pod mounted on a
one-ton chassis. was purchas-
,ed from Starline of Sanford at
a cost of $17,893.00. The county


a cost of $17,893.00 The county
will receive $10,000 toward the

FSU "Flying High" Circus


Performing Two Shows


Saturday In Stadium


Saturday is circus day here
in Port St. Joe.
Florida State University's
famous "Flying High" Circus
will give two performances


Saturday afternoon and eve-
ning in the Port St. Joe High
School football stadium. The
two-hour shows will begin at
3:00 and 7:30 p.m.
According to Richard Brin-
son, manager of the circus,
the circus will bring between
18 and 20 acts to Port St. Joe to
perform in the three rings
which will be set up on the
football field. The show will
include trapeze artists, jug-
gling, acrobats, clowns, bal-
ancing acts, trick bicycle rid-
ing, roller skate acrobatics
and everything one would see
in any circus, except animal
acts.
The circus performers are
students of Florida State Uni-
versity, trained by artists with
Ringling Brothers Circus.
They have performed all over
the United States and on
television on numerous oc-
casions. The circus moves its


show to Callaway Gardens
each summer where they
perform daily.
The local show is being
sponsored jointly by the Ki-
wanis, Lions and Rotary
clubs. All members of each
club are involved in the plan-
ning and production of the
performance.
Admission to the big circus
will be: $2.00 for adults and
$1.25 for children 12 years and
under in advance and $2.50 for
adults and $1.50 for children at
the gate. Tickets are on sale
locally at the High School,
Elementary School, Florida
First National Bank, Rich's
IGA, The Star, Buzzett's Drug
Store, Smith's Pharmacy and
St. Joe Hardware and by a ll
members of all three service
clubs. ..'
The circus will be moving
into Port St. Joe early Satur-
day morning to set up their
rigging and sets for the acts.


'Sharks', 'Tigers'


GoingforBroke


Port St. Joe's Sharks
will put it all on the line
Friday night when they
meet the Blountstown Ti-
gers here in Shark sta-
dium at 8:00 p.m.
After a week of rest, the
Sharks will play the game
which will decide whether
or not they get a shot at
the state championship
this year. Blountstown is
a division foe and both the
Sharks and Tigers have
perfect records in their
division play. The winner


will represent this district
in the play-down system
for the state champion-
ship.
The Sharks enter the
game with a little better
record than the Tigers.
The Sharks are 7-1 and
the Tigers 6-2. Both teams
lost to powerful Chipley.
The Tigers defeated the
Sharks last year in
Blountstown and the
Sharks will be out for
revenge as well as the
league championship.


Trapeze artists will thrill crowd

Losing Good Men


We see where a state govern-
ment committee is proposing that
businessmen who. serve in a public
office be restrained from doing busi-
ness with that government agency,
even on a bid basis.
It seems to us that this is a bad
law, edict or proclamation, what-
ever the proposed ruling turns out to
be: bad for the government agencies
as well as bad for the businessman.
To be blunt about the matter, we
think there are ample safeguards
against those who would swindle the
government. Those who want to so
will find ways to do it, even if there
is a law against it. We think it is a far
more common occurance for a non-
businessman office holder to enter
into collusion with one who is to give
him preferential treatment for a
kickback. This would be compara-
tively easy to hide. By dealing direct
with the businessman, the transac-
tion is in the record and the guilt is
standing out for all the world to see,
if there is unfair practice or price
gouging going on. The matter of
taking bids for most goods provided
and services offered serves to dilute
the possibility of wrong-doing even
further.
Then there is the need for
businessmen to serve on our gov-


ernment boards and in our govern-
ment agencies. If a businessman
knows he is automatically reducing
his potential customers by a healthy
percentage if he is elected to office,
he is not going to run. It's that
simple. This leaves the operation of
our land's biggest businesses wide
open to those who have had no
experience in operating a business.
This isn't to say they could not do so.
This is to say they haven't had the
experience.
A good case in point can be
found right here in Port St. Joe. We
have always had at least two
businessmen on the Commission and
sometimes more. As a result, what
finances we had at our disposal have
always been prudently managed and
necessary services provided in an
adequate manner. In over 20 years
of watching local government, 'we
have not seen an instance of where a
local businessman, serving in office,
has taken advantage of his position.
We think this is the usual, rather
than the unusual.

We would like to see some
regulation of public officers doing
business with their particular agen-
cies, but to preclude them from
being eligible seems to go too far.


There has been a lot of
water under the bridge since
St. Joseph Telephone and
Telegraph Company started
up a one section switchboard
offering telephone service to
the people of Port St. Joe,
according to statistics given to
the Rotary Club last Thursday
by Bernard Pridgeon, who is
general manager of the local
utility.
The company began service


with one operator keeping the
switchboard in her home. The
operator personally handled
every call, local or long dis-
tance. Today, the firm main-
tains a staff of 58 operators
and-have local calls handled
by the dialing customer him-
self and over half the long
distance handled by direct
distance dialing.
Pridgeon said the firm now
has 19,000 phones in service


over their service area. The
company employs 211 people
and has $18 million invested in
their system.
The firm is just winding
down a'construction project
which will give the company
new office facilities and en-
large their switching equip-
ment space. The new building
construction will double the
size of the old facilities.

At Zone Meeting

Three hundred pounds of
succulent ribs were served up
to approximately 100 Lions
who assembled here last Tues-
day for a district zone meet-
ing. The six Lions clubs at-
tending represented Region
Three, Zone One, District 35-F
of Florida Lions. The clubs
were from Panama City, Lynn
Haven, Panama City Beach,
Parkway and Port St. Joe.
Zone Chairman Herman E.
Myers of Panama City pre-
sided over the meeting. Three
new members of the Port St.
Joe Lions Club were installed
by Deputy District Governor
Daun Crews of Marianna. The
new Lions were Dana Holton,
Mike Groos and Ron Bordelon.


What has happened to automobile horns? As
young as I am, I can remember when cars let out
a comical "ah-ooo-ga" or a plaintive "bleep,
bleep" when the horns were blown. Now, it's an
adventure trying to figure out how to blow a horn
and when you finally get it to blow, it doesn't
come out with an authoritative "blat! blat!", but
we get an aneamic "pap!, pap!".
, We have three cars in our family and none of
them has a horn blowing apparatus like..-the

emergency. At times I have nearly pushed the

Pridgeon said there are
changes coming in the phone
company operation. "Some
are already in service" he
said. Most of the changes are
in the Direct Distance Dialing
service. The firm has installed
an electronic selector for plac-
ing the calls to replace their
old mechanical system. Prid-
geon said the electronic is
faster and more dependable
than the mechanical equip-
ment.
Also, in the area of DDD, the
firm is putting in equipment
which will allow a patron to
dial a collect or person to

will go ahead and place the

the new set-up, the operator
must answer within eight
seconds. "She or he has no
choice", Pridgeon said, "since
the machine is right there in
her face and it opens up
automatically to the first op-
erator the selector finds free."
One of the biggest pieces of
business for the company is its
long distance business. "We
are growing in this area by
leaps and bounds", Pridgeon
said. He said the firm handled
1,113,633 long distance calls in
1971; 1,549,000 in 1973; 1,756,-
000 in 1974 and 1,311,000 thus
far this year.
New services now and soon
to be offered include, direct
dialing for credit card calls,
collect calls, person to person
calls and a paging service.
The firm already has in
operation marine and mobile
telephone service.


and even harder to spell, the
people in town were divided
into two groups. One wore
red tags (about the size of a
silver dollar) and the other
blue tags in a ticket selling
contest for the Chatauqua.
The losing captain of the red
and blue team in the contest
was to get up on the Chatau-
qua stage on opening night
and hand saw through the
toughest old lightning struck
tree butt that could be found.
Most of us enjoyed wearing
our blue and red tags and
would hang them over a bed
post knob at night and the next
morning put them back on for
another good day of wearing
and showing our tags.
Some had a love for wearing
tags and most any kind of
ornaments, even live lizards. I
don't know whatever became
of the lizards or the people
who wore them, but if one
wanted to wear a little lizard
with a delicate gold chain and
would keep the lizard fed and
watered there surely was no
harm done.
The Chatauqua tent arrived.
It was the largest tent we had
ever seen, but the tent itself
did not culturize us very much
because we had seen many
medicine show tents and a few
all-gi'l burlesque dance tents
that rambled around through
the country trying to spread a
little sunshine with their dar-
ing knee length dance
dresses and snare-drum-beat
music.
The red team lost the ticket
selling contest and had to saw
the lightning struck tree. We
all enjoyed the three days of
cultural advancement, and
after all, simple enjoyment
could be a high form of high
culture.

hub through the steering wheel to blow the horn.
The blowing mechanism is a ring which goes half
way around the wheel between the outside and
the hub. Hit it wrong and it won't blow, which is
what I usually do when I get into an emergency
situation.
We have two of those cussed two-door
sedans. Neither of the cars have a horn which
can be found instinctively, in an emergency. You 4
-- have to hunt them. But just let- the seat forward
to l't somebody. or puit somethinginto the b ack
Asset anid you get a "p-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-p!".
My daughter has a car which I have driven
on occasion. It's one of the newer models which
those'which stay at the house aren't: I drove that
car several times and had to use the horn on
occasion and could never make it blow. At times,
I would be driving down the road and all of a
sudden the horn would blow. I finally found out
that you blow the horn by squeezing the steering
wheel. Shift your position in the seat, and
pressure on the wheel blows the horn. Turn to4
talk to somebody in the car, and the horn blows.
It's disconcerting.
I'll be glad when we get back to the days
when all cars have a horn which will blow by
hitting the hub of the steering wheel. After all,
isn't that the natural thing to do when you want
to hurry the guy up in front of you?
Would you listen to Representative Don
Tucker! Old Don, of the harmonica playing
Tuckers over in Crawfordville is trying to get
designated as Speaker of the House next year
and he has opposition. In my opinion, he is also
trying to get in position to run for Governor.
Tucker has come out with both arms flying
saying the state should abolish programs we
can't afford rather than raise taxes. That's a
refreshing thought!
Don (he might just change his last name
from 'Tucker' to 'Quixote') seems to mean what,
he says when he says the tax payers are paying
too much money for programs we cannot afford.
That's the first time I ever heard a law maker
wonder whether or not we could afford anything. A
The first thing Tucker has to do in his
vendetta against programs we can't afford is to.
educate the people that they are paying for them
all out of their own personal pockets. He has to
dispell the notion which Governor Askew planted
several years ago that the people wouldn't 'be
called on to pay corporation taxes. V
If old Don can sell that idea, he might just
sell himself as Speaker of the House and as
Governor.

Commissioner of Education Ralph Turling-
ton who recently didn't make many friends by
saying the people of Florida should be taxed
more for education, came up with egg on his face
last week.
Turlington learned, to his dismay, that the
teacher his office designated as "Teacher of the
Year" was a participant in an illegal strike of
teachers in Broward County.
There's nothing which can be said against,
selection of a teacher for "Teacher of the Year"
designation who is active in matters pertaining
to the schools. When Florida law forbids strikes
by public employees, however, there is cause for
wonder at whether a law breaker should have,,
this distinction.

Big Daddy
IN MEMORY OF JOHN F. FORD, SR.
(By N. A. Coates)
There's no need to drive to White City.
He doesn't wait there anymore
to know when you turn the corner
down by Stafford's store.
No one waits at the vacant white cottage
sitting lonely with fond memories,
beneath the pines that support the sky
midst flowers and a balmy breeze.
No light shines from the windows.
No sounds from within for so long.
Even the frogs and the locusts
sing a melancholy song.
No straw hat hangs on the door knob.
No one to throw open the door.
No "Shore am glad to see ya-all."
It's not like it was before.
As he sometimes sat in solitude
relaxed, in his rocking chair,
who knows if his "Lord have mercy"
was an expression or a prayer?
He has gone to another White City
where he waits just over the ridge.
He will know that you are coming
when you cross the singing bridge.
WRITERS NOTE: About 13 years ago, the draw
bridge over the canal at White City, Florida was
named the "Singing Bridge" by a little blind girl
from Iowa visiting the Fords in Florida, with the
Coates family. Debbie knew where she was each
time she crossed the bridge by the sound of the
car tires on the steel mesh floor of the bridge.
Thus, the double meaning of "Singing Bridge"
in the above verse.

Mr. Ford passed away on September
19, 1975. He was proceeded in death by a
son, John Jr., who gave his life in an indus-
trial accident at Port St. Joe in September
of 1955.

The unexpected kindness

face.
A word of understanding
spoken in an hour of trial are
"unexpected miracles" that
make life more worthwhile.
w We know not how it happened
that in an hour of need
Somebody out of nowhere
proved to be a friend indeed-

Panama City-Game and
Fresh Water Fish Commission
officials today reminded Pan-
handle sportsmen that there is
no fall turkey season in the
majority of northwest Florida.
The two exceptions are Leon
and Jefferson counties.
Major T.L. Garrison issued
the reminder due to confusion
over confliction reports about
turkey season. "Only," he
said, "Leon and Jefferson
counties have a turkey popula-
tion sufficient to allow a fall
season. The other northwest
Florida counties will not have
a fall turkey season but will
have a spring gobbler sea-
son."
The Leon and Jefferson
county turkey season will
coincide with the general
hunting season opening No-


high series for No Names.

David Roche was top man for

Norman Hodges led Stems
and Seeds with a 510 series
and 204 game.
Lanes three and four had
Carr's Auto Sales taking three


vember 8th and running
through January 18th. Har-
vest is limited to gobblers
only. There is a daily harvest
limit of one with a season's
limit of two gobblers.
The spring gobbler season
will include all northwest
Florida counties and will open
March 20th and run through
April 11th.
Garrison pointed out that in
recent years, a number of
factors made it necessary to
limit turkey hunting in the
area. He cited land clearing,
development and loss of habi-
tat as primary factors. "How-
ever," he said, "the Commis-
sion has been developing sev-
eral programs to increase
turkey populations. We be-
lieve that with the cooperation
of the sportsmen there will be
marked improvement in tur-


games from Player's Super-
market. Leading Carr's was
Randy Weston with 506 series
and 197 game. Larry McNeel
was top man for Player's with

Man Is A creature who
lives not upon bread alone,
but principally by catch-
words.


Much has been written and said
lately about the violence of pro-
hockey. (What has this got to do with -I
football?) Well, I read the other day,
where a local policeman, in a 4
northern city, arrested a player for -
provoking a fight during a game.
Without going into the pros and cons
of the sport, the whole idea is
ridiculous. Pro sports have commis-
sioners, committees, officials,
unions, etc. enough to police their
own. If a player or players get out of -,
control, among themselves, let them handle it.
Why not arrest "Mean Joe" Green for trying to take
Fran Tarkington's head off-or Jim Palmer for hitting
Reggie Jackson with his fast ball? When is the last time
you read a sports page without part of it involving the
legality of something?
Nuts-and thank goodness for upsets.

Society to Visit Museum


The members of "The Jun-
ior Musetim" of Panama City
have invited the St. Joseph
Historical Society, as their
special guests for a group tour
on Sunday, November 16,
from two to four p.m. CST.
The public is also encouraged
to attend this group tour from
this area. The Museum is


located off U. S. 231, on the Old
Airport Road.

The theme of their displays
is based on "The Great Tide",
written by Rubylea Hall,
which is a historical novel,
telling true facts of a boom
town (St. Joseph) on Florida's
fabulous West Coast in the


1830's and 1840's. "The Great
Tide" is now -appearing in a
new sixth printing.
Mrs. Martha (Costin) Spiva,
formerly of Port St. Joe,
spearheaded the drive to
display "The Great Tide" ex-
hibit in the Junior Museum,
and spent many hours work-
ing toward this project. She is
to be commended by the area
for the excellent job she has
done.
Mrs. Spiva is the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Chauncey
Costin of Port St. Joe.
Mrs Spiva says these ex-
hibits will be on display until
after the Thanksgiving holi-
days followed by another dis-
play which will be announced
at a later date. .

-I~L


Retires from Container Div.


Mrs. Evelyn C. White re-
tired September 30 from the
Container Division, St. Joe
Paper Company. She began
her career with the Container
Division in May, 1957 as a
stenographer-clerk in the
Sales Service Department.
In July, 1965, she was trans-
ferred to the accounting de-


apartment where she worked
until her retirement. Mrs.
White will be missed by the
personnel of the Container
Division.

She is shown being present-
ed with a gift from Floye

The feasibility of expanding
the University of West Flor-
ida's Panama City extension
center is the subject of a
community-wide study curr-
ently being undertaken by the
University and Gulf Coast
Community College.
According to Mrs. Pam
Hooper, director of testing and
institutional research at
GCCC, issues under consider-
ation include the location of a
new UWF Panama City cam-
pus, wider curriculum offer-
ings and the pairing of educa-
tional resources between the
two institutions.
."Gulf Coast students were
surveyed this past week and
campus officials will soon
begin random telephone poll-
ing in the community at
large," said Mrs. Hooper.
Mrs. Hooper added that
anyone not contacted directly
who wished to complete the
brief questionnaire may pick
one up at the UWF Extension


Center, the GCCC Administra-
tion Building, the Bay County
Public Library., the Naval
Coastal Systems Laboratory,
Tyndall AFB, or the Interna-
tional Paper Company.
In reaction to the survey,
GCCC President, Dr. Richard
Morley said he was excited by
the possibility of an expanded
range of educational oppor-
tunities being made available
to residents in Bay and Gulf
Counties.
"This is something that we
have dreamed 'about for a
nriumber of years being able
to provide local students with
the opportunity of earning
degrees through the master's
level right here in Panama
City," Dr. Morley said.
"Of course we are still
looking into the future, but a
strong, favorable response
from the general public could
go a long way in making the
vision a reality," he con-
cluded.

SForest Industry Working Hard to



'Salvage Storm-Damaged Trees


The Forest Industry in
Northwest Florida is working
steadily to harvest timber
damaged by devastating


winds from Hurricane Eloise
which roared through the
Panhandle in late September.
The Division of Forestry


Workmen load timber taken from a
Northwest Florida stand of pine trees which
have been damaged by Hurricane. Eloise.
County Forester Ray Urban, left, and
Wallace Laird of Laird Timber Company,


(DOF) estimates damage
from the hurricane in Walton,
Holmes and Washington coun-
ties as affecting about 6,000


Panama city, supervise the loading. Pro-
ducers and dealers in the Panhandle counties
are concentrating on the salvage of damaged
timber before deterioration renders it non-
marketable.


woodland owners and amount-
ing to slightly over 700,000
cords of pine and hardwood.
This represents about a year's
harvest of timber in that area.
Foresters know the timber
must be removed froin the
ground within three months or
insects and breakdown in cell
structure of the damaged
wood will cause deterioration
and rotting of the fallen trees.
Immediately following the
hurricane, emergency meet-
ings of Florida Forestry Asso-
ciation (FFA) members .and
officials, DOF personnel and
other forest industry repre-
sentatives were held to assess
damage and plan salvage
strategy. The FFA worked in
cooperation with the Gover-
nor's office, the Department
of Transportation, and DOF to
provide timber haulers with a
special 30 day permit allowing
them to transport greater
timber loads during the sal-
vage period. This emergency
response has helped provide
the hauling capacity required
in order to salvage as much
timber as possible.
One of the Panhandle's lar-
gest dealers, Wallace Laird,
President of Laird Timber
Company in Panama City,
said, "I am making the har-
vest of damaged timber my


top priority. I'm telling all my
regular customers who suffer-
ed no ill effects of the hurri-
cane to wait until we can get
the damaged timber problem
under control before cutting
their timber."
Within two weeks of the di-
saster, Laird had already
been in touch and begun work
with 35 landowners in the af-
fected area.
"If the weather holds for
us," said Laird, "I think we
will probably be able to sal-
vage about 75 percent of the
pine that's damaged and may-
be 50 percent of the hardwood.
I know that other producers in
the area are making salvage
their priority, too." ,
The mills in the vicinity-St.
Joe Paper Company, Inter-
national Paper at Panama
City and St. Regis at Pensa-
cola-are all accepting timber
even though inventories had
built up during the economic
recession.
According to Laird, a direc-
tor of the FFA, "The mills I
deal with are taking every-
thing I can produce. I'm sure
the other dealers in the area
are having the same exper-
ience. With everyone's coop-
eration we will be able to
handle a very devastating
natural disaster by reducing
the loss to the timber land-
owner. That's .our goal."

Dear G.,H.,
Switching or mixing drinks
wont make; y6u drunker be-
cause -'he degree of drunken-
ness is determined by the total
amount of the alcohol your
body absorbs, not by the. fla-
vor of the beverage. It is the
content of alcohol in your
blood which makes you drunk.
' Many times switching
drinks is more likely to cause
nausea and vomiting, possibly
because of the different fla-
vorings and mixers used.
t'. Sincerely,
Clay
Dear Clay:
I would like to know why
different people can drink dif-
ferent amounts of alcohol and
not get the same effect?
Also, many times I can have
the same amount to drink and
it will effect me differently.
Why is this?.
Sincerely,
J. D.


Dear J. D.:
Reactions to alcohol vary
tremendously. Different peo-
ple react differently to the
same amount of alcohol. Even
the same person may react
differently to the same
amount of alcohol under dif-
ferent circumstances.
Reactions depend upon
many complex factors. A per-
son may be influenced by
physical factors: how fast
your drink; whether you have
o eaten; the types of beverage;


your body weight; your body
chemistry. You may also be
influenced by psychological
factors: the situation you are
in; your mood; your attitude
toward drinking; your drink-
ing experience.
If you want more informa-
tion, stop in at your local
Alcohol Counseling and Infor-
mation Center. They would be
glad to help,you.
Sincerely,
Clay
Dear Clay:

time to help you.
Sincerely,

45 years ago,we were





the kind of banks that





Florida -needed.





We still are.







In 1930, when Florida and the nation were in the midst of a

financial crisis, the new president of the Florida National Bank
of Jacksonville believed that Florida lacked a sufficiently conservative

banking system. In an interview with the press he said:

"Banks are public trusteeships. Their primary object should

be the safe custodianship of the money entrusted to them.... If all

Florida banks had had this in mind there would have been no failures."

That's what our founder, Alfred I. duPont, said 45 years ago.

That's what the Florida National Banks believe today. No other banks
in the billion-dollar class have as high a capital ratio as we do. And

that's just one of the reasons that people call us "The Old Reliable".
