Miami Herald Is



Still "Interested"


In Gulf C

It would appear the Miami Herald is
angry with Gulf County or perhaps jealous of
the small northwest Florida answer ,to
Miami's crowded cement jungle. For the past
several years, the Miami newspaper has used
happenings in Gulf County for its sensational-
ism, being instrumental in the release of two
convicted on murder charges, fostered the
state purchase of Gulf county coastal
property, (which fell through) and now is
accusing public officials of some sort of
wrong-doing in purchasing Gulf County wood-
lands for development and re-sale.
The latest charge is that Agriculture
Commissioner Doyle Connor, along with
Representative William J. Rish of Port St.
Joe and Senator Dempsey Barron of Panama
City-have somehow committed a wrong in
purchasing 2,969 acres in the Dalkeith area
for development. The purchasers, which
included Rish's mother-in-law, Mrs. Eliza-
beth Thompson of Mexico Beach, recently
sold, the property to a Panama City man who
is developing the site into five acre homesites.
The law makers had originally intended to
develop the tract into a cattle rahch, but when
the econoniy changed, they sold at a modest
profit to the present 'owners.
The Miami Herald is presently charging
Connor with failure to list his partial
ownership of the property on his net worth
statement to the State of Florida. Charges
have also been leveled at Senator Barron for
the same reason. Rish listed his interest in the
property on his statement.
;Both Connor and Barron stated publicly
their interest in the property didn't amount to
15 per cent of their,net worth and therefore,
was not required by law to be included in their
assets.
The most recent event in the matter was
the calling of the Ethics Commission into the
picture to irresiigate--Connor's actions,.or


county

lack of action. Talbot (Sandy) D'Alemberte,
member of the Ethics Commission and a
former Representative has said he is consi-
dering asking Governor Askew to excuse him
from this chore due to a possible conflict of
interest. D'Alemberte, himself, has suc-
cumbed to the attractions of'Gulf County and
is part owner of a 91.81 acre tract adjoining
St. Joseph's Bay Country Club, which is
presently being developed into home sites.
D'Alemberte, along with nine other
Tallahassee men, have purchased the tract
from George G. Tapper for $1,125,000 to.
develop as a recreation and sports commun-
ity.
Clerk of the Court George Y. Core pointed
out to the Tallahassee Democrat, which has
also been carrying stories of the Miami
Herald's charges; that the property pur-
chased by Connors, Barron and Rish had a
"For Sale" sign out for several months before
the officials got together to make the pur-
chase. "Several local people considered
buying the property but could not raise the
money", Core said.'
Core expressed the long-held opinion of
people of Gulf County when he told the
Democrat, the Herald should be "whipped'-'
for the news treatment it .has-given the issue.
While Connor, Barron and Rish made a
modest profit when they sold their land,
D'Alemberte said his group has not realized a
profit from their land buy.
The latest development in the case has
been a request by Connor that the Ethics
Commission go ahead with its investigation to
clear the air. Ethics Commission E. Harris
Drew has set a hearing on Connor's request
.for. December. 3.
In the meantime, the Miami Herald must
surely be working its staff overtime to find
something else in Gulf County about which
they can write another sensational story
about nothing:

season, from not even being
mentioned to their present
sixth ranked position.

Santa Fe Raiders here in Port
St. Joe Friday night at 8:60
p.m., to see who advances in
the state play-off system to the
next step in the climb toward
state championship.

offs with a 9-1 record. Santa
Fe has been in the top ten
rankings for the entire year.

Sheriff Arrests Escaped Criminal


Forty-three year old James
Kenneth Chandler, an escapee
from Washington State Peni-
tentiary at Walla Walla,
Washington, was captured
last week by Gulf County
Sheriff's deputies.
. According to Sheriff Ray-
mond Lawrence, the man had
been in the Port St. Joe area
for about two weeks and was
posing as a retired Air Force
doctor. Someone became sus-
picious of his story and asked
the Sheriff's Office to check on
him.
Investigation revealed that
Chandler was using the identi-


fiction of a San Antonio,
Texas man whose wallet had
been stolen several weeks ago.
The subject was picked up for
investigation and a computer
check revealed that he was
wanted for escape from Wash-
ington and also by the state of
Kansas for offenses commit-
ted there.
He escaped the 21st of
March of this year and has
traveled all the way across the
country before being appre-
hended in Port St. Joe.
Chandler is in the Gulf
County Jail and will be picked
up by Washington State Pen-


itentiary authorities within
the next couple of days.

Firemen battle blaze which consumed two houses


Man Badly Burned In Saturday House Fire


One man received second
and third degree burns about
the hands and face and two
homes were destroyed in a
late afternoon fire here in Port
St. Joe last Saturday after-
noon.
Fire broke out in the home
of Mrs. Flossie Braxton at
about 5:30 and quickly engulf-
ed the home, spreading to the
next door dwelling of John


Bess. Fire Chief Bascom
Hamm said there has been no
determination made as yet
as to how the blaze started.
"There was apparently no-
body at home except the man
who was burned", Hamm
said. "At least, according to
our questions, none of the
family was at home when the
fire started", Hamm said. He
stated investigation was con-


tinuing into the cause of the
blaze.
Joe Dasher. 72, a semi-
invalid being cared for in the
Braxton home received ser-
ious burns about the hands
and'head in the blaze. He was
removed from the burning
house by neighbors and taken
to the Municipal Hospital for
treatment by the Gulf County
Volunteer Ambulance Ser-


vice.
Fire Chief Hamm said. "It
appears as if the neighbors
removed Dasher from the
house and called the ambu-
lance service before they cal-
led the Fire Department".
Hamm said the Braxton house
was almost ready to fall in and
the Bess home was on fire
when they arrived at the scene
only minutes after the alarm


was sounded. "We were also
hampered by low water pres-
sure in this area," Hamm
said. caused by the distance of
the home from a fire plug.
High winds also hampered
fire fighting operations, ac-
cording to Hamm. He said the
department was called back
twice after high winds had
fanned small sparks to life in
the remains of the two homes.


A little nip in the air,
and the smell of turkey
roasting in the kitchen
may mean it's Thanksgiv-
ing time to most people.
To the Port St, Joe Jay-
cees and the Merchant's
Division, it means it's
only a week until time to
bring Santa Claus to town
for his annual visit and
sponsor the annual Christ.
mas parade.
The parade is schedul-
ed to be held next Satur-
day in downtown Port St.
Joe when Santa will pay
his annual visit, riding the
City fire truck, while
being escorted in a huge
parade.
Parade chairman, Jim
Cooley, of the Jaycees
says the event will get
under way at 10:30 Satur-
day morning and travel
up Reid Avenue. Cooley


said he is now taking
entries from groups or
organizations which de-
sire to enter a float in the
parade. "We have room
for even more". Cooley
said. He pointed out that
the Jaycees have not
given much emphasis to
the parade until this time,
since they have been busy
with the annual Junior
Miss program. "We in-
tend to get real busy now
with producing a good
parade", he said.
The Jaycees produce
the parade each year.
Cooley said big cash
prizes will be presented
the three top winners in
the float judging competi-
tion immediately follow-
ing the parade. The float
prize money is provided
by the Port St. Joe retail
merchants. Prizes of


$100.00, $50.00 and $25.00
are awarded the top three
floats.
To be eligible for prize
money, a float must be
entered by a non-profit
organization. No mer-
chant or industry is eligi-
ble for prize money.
Cooley said Santa Claus
will again be tossing can-
dy to the children as he
makes his way up Reid
Avenue and the Jaycees
will be carrying their,
huge blanket with the

much-patched bottom to
collect coins and bills to
finance their annual Toys
for Tots shopping spree
for underprivileged chil-
dren at Christmas time..
The Jaycees and mer-,
chants hope you begin
making your plans to be
with them next Saturday,
December 6.

- I like spring, but it is too
young. I like summer, but it is too
proud. So I like best of all autumn,
because its leaves are a little yellow,
.ts tone mellower, its colors richer,
and it is tinged a little with
sorrow.. .Its golden richness speaks
iot of the innocence of spring, nor of
the power of summer, but of the
mellowness and kindly wisdom of
approaching age. It knows the
limitations of life and is content."

As we celebrate Thanksgiving
this year, perhaps this reflective
thought by Oriental philosopher Lin
Yutang may help us appreciate our
blessings our country from
which many of them flow. For
America, like autumn, is no longer
either too young, or too proud.
Rather, we have come to know
better, if not accept, our limitations
as a nation. And, after nearly 200
years, we continue to enjoy some
of the innocence of spring,
he power of summer, and perhaps even a
rowing degree of autumnal wisdom.
The first. Thanksgiving Day, of
course, predates the birth of our country.
following a winter of tremendous hard-
hip, Pilgrim Gov. William Bradford in
he autumn of 1621 ordered a three-day
estival to celebrate a life-sustaining
harvest. "Our harvest being gotten in,"
rote Edward Winslow in a letter of
ecember 11, 1621, "our Governor sent
our men on fowling, that so we might
after a more special manner rejoice to-
ether, after we had gathered the fruit of
ur labours."
Despite this early beginning, shared
,ith some 90 neighboring Indians,
hanksgiving Day was not celebrated
troughout the United States as a regular
national holiday until it was so pro-
laimed by President Lincoln on Nov. 26,
863. Since that time, it has been cele-
rated annually and has become a
perished American tradition.
Our hope this year Ri- that you will
Din with us in thanking a generous and
merciful Creator for the&blessings of
berty and abundance in which we con-
nue to share. And may you have a
appy Thanksgiving!

Member of Bryan Team


Biff Quarles, son of Mr. and
Mrs. W. S. Quarles, Jr., Ninth
Street, Port St. Joe, is a
member of the Bryan College
national championship soccer
team. The Lions won the
NCCAA title November 14-15
in Harrisonburg, Virginia.
Earlier that week, running
at Winona Lake, Indiana, the
Lions crosscountry team
topped off a fantastic season
by winning'their NCCAA title.
Byran thus became the first
Christian College in the United
States ever to win national
championships in two differ-
ent sports. They accomplished
this feat in the same year, and
what is even more amazing, in
the same week.
The soccer team won an
exciting 2-1, four-overtime
victory over Eastern Men-,
nonite in the semi-final con-
test, making it the longest
game in the history of the
college. The 2-1 victory in the
championship event the next
day over Judson College en-
abled the Lions to claim num-
ber-one billing.


Their final season record of
13-4-1 was accomplished in
spite of the fact that the squad
was hit hard by injuries. .
Nine seniors were members
of this year's team. In their
combined college career they
compiled a 38-30-1 record.


Ngugi Githuka of Kenya led
the Lions'in scoring this fall
with eight goals and four
assists for a total of 12 points.

ETAOIN SHRDLU

By WESLEY R. RAMSEY


A Harvard University sociologist has said
the traditional American belief that schooling
can help eliminate differences among people and
guarantee equal access to higher education and
a job is not necessarily true.
The sociologist, Christopher Jenck, says the
"quality" of a high school has little effect on its
students. In private conversations with school
people here in Gulf County I have received the


The Eccentrics


Breathed Freedomt



By CHARLIE WEBB


During pioneer times we.
had sidewalk checker cham-
pions,- also individuals who
could forecast weather condi-
tions simply by the way the
wind was blowing, and people
who just loved the solitude and
quietness of the river swamp
in their soft and almost invisi-
ble pursuit of art in the dis-
tilling of liquid spirits.
We had only one bully in
town. He was rugged and
would fight anyone that he
thought was an oppressor of
the weak. Some of the more
sensitive people in town look-
ed down on the bully, but to the
- weaklings whose only notice-
able physical characteristics"
was our shoulder blades that
stuck out in a flap-like' ap-
pearance that gave one the
impression that ,we were
built for light flying, the bully
was truly our hero. With our
high-rise shoulder blades and
short bow-legs, it was com-
forting to just know someone
as strong and powerful as the
bully of the town.


The old time checker cham-


pion is gone from the sidewalk
and will never again slide a
rusty soft drink cap on the top
of an apple crate checker
board in the beautiful demon-
stration of his wonderful
imagination that amazed both
the old and young checker
spectators.
The grand old weather fore-
caster will never again crum-
ble and toss a fistful -and dry
grapevine leaves into the face

It's Only Your


I MONEY


Shop for More than Merchandise

by GERALD A. LEWIS
Comptroller of Florida


It's a simple enough mat-
ter to compare the prices of
washing machines, and most
shoppers would.
But how about the cost of
financing it?
The fact is that while you
might easily save $15 or $20
by shopping around for a
new 'washing machine, or
anything else, you can just
as easily be taken to the
cleaners when you sign up to
pay for it on credit.
Financing, no matter how
obscure and complicated it
might seem, is not a subject
you can safely leave to weal-
thy bankers and Wall Street
tycoons. Especially today,'
with interest rates crowding
the usury ceilings, finance -
or credit, if you will has
become one of the most in-
flationary items in every
household budget.
Despite the toll it takes on
every pocketbook, however,
precious few of us take the;
time to shop for the best deal
when it comes to financing
our purchases.
How many of us ever think
about, for example, that a
mere $3-a-month difference
in car payments, over 36
months, actually adds $108 to
the price of the car; or that a
relatively easy $10-a-month
difference in a 30-year mort-
gage will tack $3,600 to the
price of a house.
As the agency that regu-
lates virtually every type of


financial institution and
transaction in Florida, from
state banks and savings and
loans to credit unions and fi-
nance companies, we in the
Comptroller's Office feel a
responsibility for helping to
protect Floridians in the fi-
nancial market place, whe-
ther you're financing a new
TV set or a $50,000 home.
We have a philosophy
about regulation that its
single and solitary purpose is
to protect the people dealing
with the business that is reg-
ulated.
We also know that all the
laws and rules and regula-
tions in the world won't get
the job done.
Ultimately, there's no sub-
stitute for self-protection,
and unless every financial
consumer knows the rules of
thegame, as well as his legal
,rights, he can never be fully
protected.
That's why today we are
initiating this column, "It's
Only Your Money," which in
the weeks and months ahead
will deal with a broad range
of topics which we hope will
help Floridians to better un-
derstand their own financial
interests and accordingly,
better protect themselves.
We hope "It's Only Your
Money" will serve Floridi-
ans, and I personally wel-
come any suggestions or
questions you might have.

Duties

The Florida Marine Patrol
officer wears many hats. Gene
Griffin, Information Officer of
the Marine Patrol spoke to the
Rotary Club last Thursday,
outlining mahny of'tlie duties of
the force which ranges from
law enforcement to conserva-
tion.
In the law enforcement area
of their duties, the Marine
Patrol checks the. catches of
shrimp, oysters, stone crabs,
pompano, snook and other
game fish. They have full
arrest powers and often assist
law enforcement officers in
their duties.
The Patrol checks licenses
for seafood dealers, boats,
pleasure boats; police closed
waters and patrol fishing wa-
ters.
In their conservation duties,
the Patrol oversees dredge
and fill permits and opera-
tions and conduct public rela-
tions work with sportsmen
among other things.
Guests of the club last
Thursday were John Brock of
Pensacola and David Carl
Gaskin of Wewahitchka. Other
guests included Wheelettes
Sue Creamer and Cynthia
Addison.

Reeves

Enlists

In Marines
Lester N. Reeves, son of
Mrs. Mary Reeves, of 1704
Garrison Avenue, was enlisted
in the Marine Corps Novem-
ber 20, his recruiter, Staff Sgt.
Calvin Barth, announced.
He joined the Marine Corps
under the Aviation Technolo-
gy Program and will be as-
signed to school training on
completion of recruit training
at Parris Island, South Caro-
lina.
Prior to joining the Marine
Corps he attended Gulf Coast
Community College in Pan-
ama City. Since he had suc-
cessfully completed at least
one semester with a G.P.A. of
2.5 or better, Lester was auto-
matically advanced to the
rank of Private First Class.
More than 20 Marine Avia-
tion schools are open to him, a
few of which are: Telecom-
munications maintenance,
data systems, electronics
radar repair, aircraft mainte-
nance, avionics and aero-
graphy.
The new Marine will leave
for recruit training on Nov-
ember 28 and is expected to
return home on leave in about
11 weeks.

statement that accreditation of schools does
nothing more than say the school is meeting
prescribed standards and the student is receiy-
ing approved material for study.
"As a whole", Jenck has said, "high schools
scarcely change the educational performance of
students on tests, have little influence on
whether they go on to college and have scarcely
any bearing on the jobs they get after
graduation".
Even so, today one going into the field of
work finds he must have at least a high school
diploma for the better jobs. In this respect,
Jenck's pronouncement doesn't hold water. To
be fair, though, he is probably talking about
performance ability and not the mere fact that
the new adult has matriculated from a high
'school or university.
The sociologist went on to say that spending
more money, requiring teachers to take more
graduate courses, establishing small classes, do
not improve student performance.
Jenck says the reasons for the difference in
the ability of students after graduation "remain
obscure".
How do you like those apples?

BUILDING IN NAME OF PROGRESS
The nation has undergone and is still
undergoing probably the largest school im-
provement program in the history of the world
based on the presumption that the program
would better equip children to become adults.
Now, here is a Harvard professor saying it isn't
necessarily so. It's hard to imagine such a
proclamation from a Harvard person.
I'm not saying I particularly agree with him
at least not fully. I do see some instances
-where Jenck's position might be justified. There
are plenty oepeople getting along just fine who'
didn't go to school in buildings which were
air-conditioned, centrally heated, a textbook for
everystudent in every subject, numerous frills
and an athletic program which would compare
with that of most colleges, based on a per capital
scale.
I REMEMBER
Reading the article made me think. I thought
of all the people I went to school with here in Port
St. Joe several years ago. For the most part they
are contributors and not dependents on society.
There are professional people in the lot as well as
merchants, mechanics, and a few who didn't do
so well.
I remember also, when I went to school, the
class size was dictated by the number of students
who had passed the year before (and not all of
them were advanced to the next highest class at
the end of the year); the textbooks were
hand-me-downs three or four times removed,
with a few new books scattered about. The
teachers were competent even most didn't have
a doctorate degree and only a smattering of
master's degrees could be claimed.
When we went to school the first day of
school, we couldn't expect air-conditioning and
the only "central heat" was provided by a
pot-bellied wood-burning stove in the middle of
the room. One received his comfort by selecting
a desk a fair distance from the stove if he was hot
natured; near a window if he desired to be cool
and took his turn carrying in wood for the
"central heat" (in the middle of the room).

When I went to school, we stayed in the
classroom for the full duration of the class. The
halls were as bare as Mother Hubbard's
cupboard during class. There was no "sound
conditioning" in the walls, but each class
respected the other and all could study in a
learning atmosphere. We weren't accredited, so
far as I know, but all the students seemed to have
done right well with what they received.
LET'S BE CANDID
I'm not saying we should go back to this type
school. I'm merely observing that what we had
seemed to be sufficient. Today I must have my
air-conditioning when it is hot and my heat when
it is cold: I wouldn't have students in school have
any less. I like room to move about in comfort: I
wouldn't have the students in school to have any
less. I like nice things and comfort around me: I
wouldn't have students in school have any less.
I guess the point of all this is to say we should
quit building our schools into palaces in the name
of bettering education and go ahead and do it for
the reason that we like it this way.

Have a good week end, Thanksgiving!

are. With this in mind, he would like to take this opportunity
to speak with you about one thing in particular.. .and that's
forest fires!
"Last year, you helped me set a record in my Panama
district area that I'm very proud of. As you probably know,
this area includes Bay, Gulf, Calhoun, Liberty and Franklin
counties. Again, I am asking for your help and support, and I

Dolores M. (Dee) Batey.
teacher, professional seam-
stress and lecturer, will be
here in port St. Joe to intro-
duce the newly developed
Sunburst Pattern Making Sys-
tem.
Many seamstresses, being
self-taught, are always con-
scious of a "homemade" ap-
pearance in their garments.
Too often professional sewing
and pattern alteration instruc-
tion of a highly technical
nature is needed to give the
home sewer the tailored look.
Dee has sewn professionally
since she was 16 (for the past
20 years).
Having managed the pat-
tern department of Sheeans
Department Store in Elmira,
New York, some time ago,
Dee is -familiar with the same
kind of patterns that most
homemakers work with and is
well qualified as a profession-
al fitter. Her teaching back-
ground has included special
sewing classes for teenagers

Stac House to
Close for Holidays
The'Gulf County Recreation'
Department is discontinuing

gram from Nov. 29 through

program will begin again

the Christmas holidays.

professionally for John Car-
roll's wife and secretary, did
alterations for Jim Brown,
and worked for the "Cadillac"
set in St. Petersburg. A rather
versatile person, she also
spent seven years in banking
and managed a motel.
Dee has always been aware
that too much time has to be
spent on altering a pattern,
yet without a good fit, the most
professional sewn garment is
nothing better than an ill-
fitting readymade. It was for
this reason she was so im-

pressed with the Sunburst
Pattern Making System when
it was first presented to her by
a professional designer.
Suddenly, she felt, this was
a way that was easier for the
home seamstress to follow.
She decided to leave Gaines-
ville, .Ga.. where she has
resided for many years with
her husband and children, and
pursue a career of teaching
pattern making and fitting.
Dee has been traveling the

months with her husband,

New Rulings

for '75 Duck
Regulations pertaining to
the special Redhead and Can-
vasback duck hunts were clar-
ified this week by the Florida.
Game and'Fresh-.Water FishV
Commission. The ruling was
announced following a joint
meeting of Commission offi-
cers and personnel of the U. S.
Fish and Wildlife Service.
According to Major T. L.
Garrison, Regional Manager
for the Commission, there was
confusion as to whether cer-
tain bays and inlets were legal
shooting areas for the two
species..
Under the ruling, the two
ducks may be taken all along
the Gulf Coast except in those
bays and rivers inland of
Highway 98. Specifically, this
means that hunting will be
permitted only on those parts
of Escambia Bay, Chocta-
whatchee Bay, West Bay and
St. Andrews Bay, East Bay
and Ochlocknee Bay on the
Gulf side of the Highway 98
bridge.
This restriction applies only
to Redhead and Canvasback
ducks. All other species may
be taken throughout the area
on any waters except those
closed by local rulings or on
refuge areas.


of the game as the team
coasted to a 14-0 win over
a tough Bonifay Blue Devil
eleven. The Devils are one of
the stronger teams of this area
and put up a stout defense
against the Sharks, who
played their usual game
of rugged, heads-up defense
and mistake-riddled play.
The Sharks had 100 yards in
penalties after earning only 15
the week before.
Robert Farmer piled up 153
yards rushing against a stub-
born -line Friday night, to run
his season's total to 1,396.
Bonifay received the kick-
off in the final regular season
tilt but couldn't move and had
to punt. Ronald Daniels field-
ed the punt on the 30 yard line
and ran all the way across the
field and had fans thinking of
his performance in WakUlla
when he ran such a punt all the
way for a touchdown. He got
back to the Shark 41 where the
ball was put in play. On the
first play from scimmage,
Farmer slipped behind blocks
thrown by Ray Lawrence and
Jay Fleming, then out-ran the
secondary to score. Bitl'Nor-
ton kicked the extra point
right between the uprightsand
the Sharks had enough to win.
The remainder of the game
was a see-saw defensive affair
with neither team offering a
real threat to the other. There
was only one first down earn-
ed in the second period.
The Sharks allowed the Blue
Devils to cross the 50 yard line

10U1, VdtA
Advice to winterize your car
may seem strange in Florida,
but the Highway Patrol said
this week it is time to safety
check your car for winter
weather-even in Florida.
Colonel J. E. Beach, direc-
tor of the Patrol said, "Many
people do not realize that even
though the Sunshine State
does not have severe cold
weather with snow and ice,
there are still a number of im-
portant items to check on
every vehicle before winter
arrives."
The Patrol commander sug-
gested to car owners that tkeir.
auto exhaust systems should
be checked for leaks to ayoid
the possibility of carbon mono-
oxide poison as a result of ex-
haust fumes seeping into *e
closed passenger compart-
ments when the windows are
shut.
Beach also suggested that
heaters and defrosters sholh
be put into top working order,
and it may be time for a new
set of windshield wiper blades.


Hurricane Makes People


Choose Trees to Plant


By Ralph J. Edenfield,
County Forester
The recent battering of Flor-
ida and Alabama trees by
Hurricane Eloise has caused
many homeowners to be con-
cerned about what kind of
trees to plant that won't blow
over on their houses if a tor-
nado or hurricane strikes.
Following Hurricane Ca-
mille in August, 1969, a storm
which did even more damage
to forest and lawn trees than
Eloise, the U. S. Forest Ser-
vice did a study to find out
something about the wind re-
sistance of trees.
Their findings were pub- *
lished widely, but bear repeat-
ing. They found that while no
species of tree is totally wind-
firm, three species-live oak,
pond cypress and bald cypress
-seem to withstand forceful
winds better than most.
Trees that 'survive usually *
have deep, well-established
lateral roots, strong taproots
and buttressed (or flared)
trunks..And, as in the case of
live oak, the wood itself is
exceedingly strong and resi-
lient.
Some simple, but obvious
facts that can be seen even in
the aftermath of Eloise (the
damage of which has just
recently been evaluated): the
taller the tree, the greater the
chances of breaking, espec-
ially if the trunk has little
taper.
Also. shallow rooted trees,
such as pecans, are easily up-
rooted particularly if the soil
has been saturated by heavy
rains recently. Trees growing
in sandy soil are deeper-
rooted (and thus more pro-
tected) than trees growing in
clay soil.'
Trees with limber foliage
and open crowns offer less
resistance to the wind. ..a
good feature, because trees
that can spring and give with
the wind won't break. Cy-
press, with its small crown,
and mimosa, with its light,
lacy crown, are windfirm
species.
According to the U. S.
Forest Service survey, the 10
species that incurred the less
breakage were (in descending
order): live oak, palm, bald
cypress, pond cypress, sweet-
gum, tupelo gum, mimosa,


dogwood, magnolia and sweet-
bay. The 10 species that suf-
fered less from being uprooted
were: live oak, palm, bald
cypress, pond cypress, tupelo
gum, red cedar, sweetgum,
sycamore, longleaf pine arid
mimosa.
Pecan, red maple, hickory
and loblolly pine (also slash


pine, because of its height and
slimness, as well as its fast
growth) are susceptible to
breakages and uprooting.
Those who live in tornado or
hurricane risk areas should
consider these factors.
Another rule is to keep trees
that you prize fertilized well
and deeply.

Environmentalists should
find little to quarrel with in the
first draft environmental
statement on operation and
maintenance of the Apalachi-
cola, Chattahoochee, Flint
river system, says R. H. Mc-
Swean, president of the Tri-
River Waterway Development
Association.
The draft was made public
by the Mobile District, U. S.
Army Corps of Engineers in
October. It is the first such
assessment of the waterway
as a whole, though much of the
content has been released in
segments. According to the
preface, comments have been
requested from 42 individuals,
including representatives of
eight chapters of the Sierra
Club and four chapters of the
Audubon Society. Both organ-
izations usually oppose water-
way development.
"The law is negative," a
spokesman in the Corps plan-
ning office said. "We have to
seek out objections."
McSwean said, however,
that facts presented in the
thick report, "show clearly
that Corps projects on the
waterway have improved-the
environment and contributed
to the economy of the area."
"Spme of the alternatives to
continued maintenance and
operation are what should
frighten, anyone concerned
with environment," McSwean
said.
An Abbeville, Ala., retail
merchant, McSwean is serv-
ing his second term as presi-
dent of the Tri-Rivers group.
He has been active in promot-
ing navigation on the water-
way snice 1946.
The Corps statement, as
required by law, describes
possible alternatives to con-
tinued operation of locks and
dams on the Chattahoochee
river and dredging and snag-
ging on. the Apalachicola.
They range from minor
changes to complete abandon:
ment, in which case, ". .un-
sightly mud banks would be
exposed to erosion until forest
and other cover were reesta-
blished. the lakes' fish pop-
ulations would be lost and the
stream would again support a
stream fishery. the invest-
ment in services and support
facilities would be lost and the
local area economy would suf-
fer."'
A recent Corps proposal for
a navigation dam on the Apa-
lachicola river is listed as one
possible choice. Along with the
observation that the structure
would "restrict the migration
of anadromous fish," the
paper states that, "In addition
to alleviating some of the









By Joe St. Clair
From the land of Am-
brym we hear of a beauti-
ful word, the native word
for love. Literally trans-
lated it means: "The
heart keeps calling, call-
ing for me."
This is very likely the
best of all translations of
the word "love."
Think of young lovers-
their hearts are calling
out to each other, that's
love. A child has the same
call going out for a par-
ent, and a parent's heart
calls to a child.
Friendships based on
love are moulded through
the staying in touch by
way of the heart.
If the hearts of mankind
kept calling, calling for
one another, what a dif-
ferent world it would be.
There would be no room .
for envy, hate and pre- ;
judices.
Wars would be elimi-
nated if all people prac-
ticed the natives of Am-
brym's description of
love.

navigational problems, it
would improve the habitat for
aquatic organisms and pro-
vide a greater fish production
than currently exists on the
river."
McSwean noted that the
proposed dam between Bristol
and Blountstown, would flood
604 acres not already in river
bottom.
"Ironically," he said, "the
most environmentally desir-
able method of disposing of
sand dredged from the Apa-
lachicola river would take 900
acres."
The report shows a benefit:


The Board of County Com-
missioners of Gulf County,
Florida, met on October 28,
1975 in regular session with
teh following members pre-
sent: Eldridge Money, Chair-
man; Everett Owens, Jr.; Otis
Davis, Jr.; T. D. (Doc) Whit-
field and S. C. Player. Others
present were: George Y. Core,
Clerk; Jerry Gates, Financial
Officer; Raymond Lawrence,
Sheriff; C. E. Daniell, Mos-
quito Control Supervisor;
Lloyd Whitfield, Road Super-
intendent; Richard Lancas-
ter, Civil Defense Director;
Dick Lamberson, Port St. Joe
Ambulance Chief and Honor-
able Fred N. Witten, Attorney.
The meeting came to order
at 7:30 p.m. The Clerk opened
the meeting with prayer, fol-
lowed by the pledge to the
flag.
The minutes of October 14,
were read, approved and
adopted.
Pursuant to invitation to re-
ceive bids for the sale of one
(1) 17/2'. Thunderbird -boat
owned by the Sheriff's depart-
ment, the following bids were
received:
R. Larry Wells, $126.52;
Ralph E. Plair, $250.00; and
David H. Barfield, $51.95.
The Board voted to reject
all bids and readvertise re-
quiring a minimum bid of.
$300.00.
Otto Collingsworth and Irvin
Scoville of St. Joe Beach ap-
peared before the Board and
discussed a recent draining of
Kenny Lake in St. Joe Beach.
Mr. Collinsworth told the
Board that it appears to be
another attempt to draw down
the lake; that this same prob-
lem arose back in 1969, at
which time the county com-
mission stopped the State De-
partment of Transportation
from draining the lake. He
said that the draining of the
lake will help no one, but will
hurt all of the land owners in
that area of the beach. He then
requested this Board to abide
by the decision made October
10, 1969, to discontinue any
further attempts to drain this


cost ratio of 2.21:1 for Corps
activities on the waterway.
"During the 10-year period
-1964 to 1973-the volume of
waterborne commerce in the
project area increased at an
average rate of 64,000 tons per
year," the document states.
"In 1973, 1,024,900 tons of com-
modities were moved over the

lake. He then inquired as to
why a new ditch has been dug
adjacent to his property. He
said that it was not an ordi-
nary drainage ditch;, that it is
much too deep and wide and is
an eyesore to the people living
in this area. He presented pic-
tures of'this new ditch.
The Board advised that the
C&G Construction Company
has the contract on the paving
project now in progress in this
.area and that apparently the
contractor dug. this new ditch.
The Board had no knowledge
of who opened the culvert
between the lake and the
western side of Alabama Ave-
nue, but assured Mr. Collins-
worth that this Commission,
nor the county road depart-
ment had anything to do with
it. The Board promised to
close the culvert and cover the
new ditch.

telephone be installed in the
Sheriff's office to be used by
the ambulance squad between

hospital. The cost to be $6.75
per month. The Board voted to
have this telephone installed.
A discussion was, then had
with reference to the present

Apalachicola and Chipola
rivers is of good quality.
"Prior to construction of
Jim Woodruff Lock and
Dam," it says, "the Florida
State Board of Health found
that the Apalachicola River
was grossly polluted through-
out its entire length. The main
sources of domestic and in-
dustrial pollution were from
the Chattahoochee and Flint
rivers."
Downstream fishing in the
Apalachicola has not been as
good as in the past, the docu-


require a complete new radio
complex which will cost about
$30,000.00. Mr. Lamberson
said the state has indicated
that matching funds will be
available for this new required
radio equipment and recom-
mended that the Board con-
sider making application for a
grant and that if the Board
acts favorably on this request
application should be 'made
immediately because it will
take at least 12 months for the
application to receive ap-

was a motion by Comm.
Owens, seconded by Comm.
Whitfield, and unanimously
carried, to proceed with filing
this application. Mr. Lamber-
son was requested to attend to
this matter.

The Chairman called Jesse
V. Stone to come before the
Board and did then present
him with a plaque for his out-
standing work in planning and
producing the nine-day Golden
Anniversary Celebration held
this past June 6-14. After
photographs were made of
this presentation, Mr. Stone
thanked-the Board and accept-
ed the honor on behalf of all of

people that assisted in the
planning and work.of the cele-
bration.
The Civil Defense Director
requested that he be furnished

posed resolution whereby the

Comm. Davis told the Board
that the Industrial Road (Sr

state of repairs, that several
accidents have occurred
there. He said the Department
of Transportation should re-
surface this portion of the
road. The Attorney was re-
quested to contact the Depart-
ment of Transportation and
request this work.
Comm. Davis informed the
Board that the State Depart-
ment of Natural Resources
have promised funds for the
construction of boat "landing

second ramp be constructed at
the east end of SR 22 on the
