The need to come up with
money to become affiliated
with the Comprehensive
Health organization of North-
west Florida brought on some-
thing more than a search for
$1,400 at the County Commis-
sion meeting Tuesday morn-
ing. As the need.for the money
arose and the search for
where, it could be found
brought forth a problem, Com-
missioner Otis Davis offered a
suggestion which could pro-
vide the money and give the
county a little lee-way in its
budget.
Davis' suggestion was also
prompted by a notice from the
State Department of Revenue
which notified the county
Tuesday it could expect $5,000
less than they had budgeted
from the state this year.


VA, CD Offices


Davis then took the floor and
pointing to the "bare bones"
budget the Commission ham-
mered out earlier this year in
order to hold the line in taxes,
that the County should consi-
der abolishing some services
to save money.
Davis then recommended
the County combine the Vet-
erans' Service office and the
Civil Defense and hire one
person full time to administer
both offices and furnish him
with a part time secretary for
clerical duties.
Davis said, "We would save
considerable money in this
manner and still be offering
all the services we are now
offering with part time man-
agement. This will tighten up
our expenditures".


Fire Guts Oak Grove Home


Fire completely destroyed
the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Ricky Wood on Huniter Street
in Oak Grove last Wednesday
evening.
The alarm was sounded at
10:45 p.m., and was answered
by the Port St. Joe Volunteer
Fire Department and later by
the Highland View Fire De-
partment.
When firemen arrived the,::!
-house Was billowing smoke
from every window and door
but the flame could not be
found. Firemen were not able
to enter the house because of
the dense smoke.
As usual in areas outside the
city, lack of water kept the
firemen from keeping fire
damage to a minimum. Fire-
men had the smoke clearing
out and the fire pretty well
whipped down when they ran
out of water. Shortly after
they left to get another load of
water, Highland View arrived
on the scene and started
battling the flames which had
started engulfing the home by
this time.
Fire Chief Bascom .Hamm
said firemen were hampered
in their fire fighting opera-
tions because the home had
been added to several times
and the solid walls of the
previous construction pre-
vented normal fire fighting
procedures.
After both departments had
hauled several loads of water
to the home, the fire was
finally put out.
This wasn't the end of the
matter, as the fire caught up
again about 6:30 Thursday
morning and had to be put out
again.
The Wood family was not at
home at the time and were
unable to save any of their
clothes or furniture.


Commissioner Everette
Owens, Jr., added to Davis'
argument by observing that
the county was paying $8,200
for the two directors on a
part time basis and $11,164.40
for secretarial help for the two
offices.
Davis and Owens both con-
tended the county could hire a
full time person to administer
both offices for less than the
two part time directors are
now receiving and hire part
time clerical help for a third of
what is now being paid.
Commissioner Silas Player
suggested the Board members
think about the matter until
the next meeting and examine
the operation of both offices
during that time before mak-
ing a binding decision. "We
need a little time to look into
the operations and make an
informed decision", Player
said.

The Board seemed to re-
ceive Davis' suggestion with
merit but decided to follow
Player's advice which will
probably set up a doozy of a
meeting for Tuesday, January


ADOPT RESOLUTION
After this discussion was
over, the Board adopted a
resolution announcing their
intentions to join the Compre-
hensive Medical Planning or-
ganization.
George Tapper had spoken
to the Commission earlier in
the meeting urging them to
become a member.
Tapper said, "In 10 years,
the Community Health Plan-
ning organization will be larg-
er than Health, Education and
Welfare. Right now, they are
the deciding body to building
hospitals, enlarging hospitals
or hospital care, attracting
doctors, and the entire medi-
cal treatment field. This or-'
ganization has also located a
doctor for Wewahitchka", he
said.
Tapper pointed out that:
membership in the organiza--
tion is mandatory for 'receiv-
ing any federal medical aid
which includes financing for
hospitals, Medicaide and Med-
icare payments."


A group of local citizens
have banded together to offer
a reward for information lead-
ing to the arrest and convic-
tion of the person or persons
responsible for the vandalism.
at Port St.'Joe High School
during the Thanksgiving hol-
idays. .
Sheriff Raymond Lawience
said the citizens have offered
the reward "because they
want to stop this type vandal-
ism in our public facilities.
They want to see law and
order prevail".


Lawrence said that anyone
having any information in
regards to this case should
contact either him or Port St.
Joe Police Chief H. W. Griffin.
Lawrence said the law en-
forcement had some leads on
the case but one lead ran into a
dead end. "We are still work-
ing on the case full time",
Lawrence said.
Gulf County School officials
estimate the damages and
thefts from the incident will
amount to around $5,000 in
damages.

last minute lines.


Group Approves River Dam


Amos Sumner, right, welcomes Silas Player to
Waterway Develonment meeting.


The Florida Ports and Water Resour-
ces Association, in a Monday meeting held
in Tallahassee, put their stamp of appro-
val on a new Corps of Engineers' plah to
place a dam on the Apalachicola River
near Blountstown.
The Corps' proposal would place one
low level dam in the river and had
abandoned the two-dam proposal which
they made a few years ago. According to
the Engineers, the dam would give
an all-year barge channel to serve the
Flint-Chattahoochee-Apalachicola rivers
waterway system.
"We backed it in the Marianna
hearing two years ago and we're for it
again," the organization's new president,
Raymond Bunton of Palatka, said. He also
pointed out that J. C. Gissendaner, of
Chattahoochee, was named to the associa-
tion's board of directors this year.


Gissendaner is also an advocate of the one
dam system.
Lt. Col. Donald R. Pope, Mobile
Deputy District engineer, said Congress
will make the decision on the Blountstown
dam.
"It is a new project", he said, "and the
ball is strictly in the hands of state and
local officials and Congress."
Pope said he understood there was a
break in the solid Florida opposition to the
dam on the Apalachicola River, although
most of its support is coming from Georgia
and Alabama.
Representatives of the Tri-Rivers
Waterway Development Association
showed a film entitled, "Dawn on the
River" at the association meeting depict-
ing the economic benefits to Florida
counties which would result from the dam.
The opening scene had Mark Twain


describing the beauties of the river and an
artist's drawing of the low-level dam was
shown with an explanation that its beauty
would not be damaged.
The film also promised no damage to
oyster production in Apalachicola Bay and
improved sport fishing upriver.
Harry N. Cook, executive vice presi-
dent of the National Waterways Confer-
ence, in the featured luncheon speech
Monday told delegates that waterways are
the least disruptive to the natural environ-
ment of all modes of transportation.
"When environmental organizations
attack waterways," he ,said, "they are
attacking nature's premier system of
transportation which is superior to any
alternate overland route."
He said waterways score high in fuel
economy, environmental cleanliness, effi-
cient use of resources and consumer


savings.

APPROVE BARGE CANAL
The Association also re-newed its
support of the controversial cross-Florida
barge canal. President Bunton said,
"We're also going to go to bat for all the
worthwhile waterway projects, including
marking the 'missing link' section of the
Intracoastal Waterway across the open
Gulf from St. Marks to Anclote near
Tampa.
At present, the cross-Florida barge
canal project is dormant, but the Tri-Riv-
ers Association and the Florida Ports and
Water Resources Association have pledg-
ed themselves to work for its revival.

ed Gulf County at the Water Resources
meeting.

seems the people of Oak Grove have
%:two options to get the services of
piped water and a sewage collection
system: to come into the City of Port
St. Joe or vote a tax upon themselves
to pay for the facilities.
A couple of years back, some of
the people put up the stupendous
:sum of $10.00 for each dwelling to
:express their "good faith" for the
financing of a water and sewer
system. We sort of scoff at the $10.00
deposit since it takes in the neigh-
borhood of $1,000 to finance these
services to each customer.
If the people of Oak Grove were
to vote to come into the City of Port
St. Joe, the City would have to
borrow the money to put in the
services. This money would be
repaid in one of two ways: the


system users (all 1300 of them)
would pay for the installation
through their water and sewer
charges, or the people in the area
would have liens placed against
their property for the costs, repay-
able over a 10 year or so period. This
is how many sections of Port St. Joe
itself were paid for.
What we're saying is that the
people of Oak Grove have expressed
a desire for the services but have
seemed reluctant to be agreeable to
pay for it. Perhaps, with this season
of the year, and its syndrome of Santa
Claus bringing wanted items to
those who ask has invaded the minds
of some people and made them think
a "Santa Claus" could be counted on
to pay for the expensive water and
sewer services for the area.

We hope Oak Grove gets their
water and sewer. It is a hard thing to
do to stand helplessly by and see a
person's home being destroyed by
fire, when water is so close, yet still
so far away. We can't say we are
particularly interested in seeing
them get it for nothing, when others
have to pay for their services.

ETAOIN SHRDLU

By WESLEY R. RAMSEY


President Gerald Ford and I have something
in common. Of course, we have more in which we
are different, than we have in common.
We both can claim a parallel happening,
though. Both of us received a Christmas tree
Friday of last week.
The similarity ends there. President Ford's
Christmas tree was delivered to his door. It was
an 18-foot Douglas fir which was planted on the
White House lawn.
My tree was a 6-foot Scotch pine which I
bought and hauled home in the back of my
station wagon, where it was "planted" in a
bucket of water in the garage until I get around
to "planting" it in the Christmas tree stand and
depositing it in the family room where our


oStorm Pits Once

A Common Sight



' k By CHARLIE WEBB
sw--- -----we


Storm pits were once a com-
mon environmental protection
device around pioneer homes.
A companion to the storm pit
was called a flower pit.
Ladies, in their wonderful
love to protect the beautiful,
created dirt pits to shield
flowers during winter. The ar-
rangements by the ladies of
the potted flowers, within the


flower pit, often represented a
beautiful scene of a miniature
sunken flower garden, even
during the cold frosts of win-
ter.
Another type of pit concern-
ed chickens. It was whispered
in some circles that groups
would slip off during the long
Sunday afternoons to a river
hammock in the swamp to


December Bad Month

for Drinking Drivers


The Florida Highway Patrol
this week warned party-going
drinking drivers that alcoholic
beverages can mar the holi-
day season for many motor-
ists, because the chance of
being involved in a fatal acci-
dent increases after that first
drink.
Colonel Eldrige Beach,
director of the Patrol said, "In
fatal accidents occurring dur-
ing the month of December
last year, records indicate
that 69 drivers and 14 pedes-
trians had been drinking."
Some people have the mis-
taken idea that alcoholic bev-
erages stimulate the drinker.
On the contrary, it depresses
the central nervous system
and retards a person's normal


faculties. Only the body pro-
cesses can overcome the ef-
fects of alcohol and that takes
time.
Florida's traffic law re-
quires drivers arrested for
driving while intoxicated to
submit to a chemical test for
sobriety or be subject to
license suspension for a period
of three months. Not only does
the drinking driver increase
his chances of being involved
in an accident but the Patrol
warned he will also lose his
driving privilege upon tonvic-
tion.
In stressing the dangers of
drinking and driving, Colonel
Beach said, "If you are going
to drink, make arrangements
to let someone else who is not
drinking do the driving."


PSC Denies Phone Rate Increase


The Public Service Com-
mission Monday of this week
denied St. Joseph Telephone
and Telegraph Company a
rate increase, stating the com-
pany dealt at "less than arm
length" with the Florida First
National Bank.
PSC Chairman Billy Mayo
said it was the first time in
five years the commission re-
jected a telephone company's
request to raise rates.
The PSC also found that St.
Joe Tel. & Tel. would receive


all the additional money it re-
quired, $320,000, from an in-
crease in intrastate long-dis-
tance rates granted last month
in the Southern Bell case.
The local phone company
sought a $541,000 increase,
having last received a rate
boost in 1962.
The PSC stated that the
telephone company was at-
tempting to pass on part of the
bank's costs for a new building
to the 12,000 telephone cus-
tomers.
The commission ordered a


$141,000 cut in the firm's rate
base because of the purchase
of the building of the Fl-ida
First National Bank. The
smaller rate base meant lower
company income requirement
because customer charges are
based on the base multiplied
by a PSC-set rate of profit.
"The bank building trans-
action is considered less than
an arm-length's transaction
because the president of the
telephone company was a
stockholder of the bank chain


and the vice president of the
telephone company was on the
bank's board of directors at
the time of the transaction,"
the PSC accounting staff said
in a report adopted by the
commission.
The telephone company
operated on the second floor of
the bank building until 10
years ego when it decided it
needed more room.
According to findings stated
by the PSC, the phone com-
pany built a new building for


$535,000, then exchanged it
with the bank for the old
building worth $36,000 and
$260,000 cash. St. Joseph Tele-
phone and Telegraph then
spent $16,000 to remodel the
bank building and is in the
midst of another $460,000 ex-
pansion.

"The old building will even-
tually cost the telephone com-
pany an estimated $735,000...
which is approximately
$200,000 above the cost of the
new building," the report said.


enjoy a little fun with a breed
of cock-fighting chickens. This
could have been just a country
rumor, because all our chic-
kens were simple tree and
fence roosting laying hens
with no desire to fight, even
when one hen was disguised as
a stranger to the others by
being coated black with chim-
ney smut and a dab or two of
lard-grease.
One type of storm pit was a
hole dug into the ground and a
storm door attached for en-
trance and exit. Small chil-
dren had little fear of a storm,
but girls would not enter with-
out their play dolls, and boys
were reluctant to leave their
cur dogs outside in the rain
and wind.
Storm pits could be on the
way out. Few of the wonderful
and beautiful country homes
of today have pits. After
development of the atomic
bomb there was an upsurge in
the construction of private
fall-out shelters. In compar-
ison with the old time storm
pit with its damp wall, grass-
hopper insects, and even
coach whip snakes, the bomb
shelters were complex and
beautiful in design.
Could this be a lax time
period within environmental
protection? Perhaps many
people have found a deeper
confidence of faith and love
within the beauty and hum-
bleness of the heart that gives
a feeling of safety against the
once fearful thoughts of being
a casualty of natural environ-
ment.

Christmas trees stand each and every year.
We have trouble with our Christmas trees
every year. If we put those pretty candy
ornaments on the tree, which are so popular, it is
a mad foot race through the house to see who
eats them first; the grandsons or the poodles.
Usually candy ornaments won't last out the
day, if they are put on the tree as late as noon on
any given day. If we can put them on the. tree
about bedtime at night, they will last at least
through the night.
One thing I do have in my favor in putting up
the Christmas tree, is plenty of help in its
erection and decoration. For the past 20 years,
our own kids have been more than willing to
pitch in and help with this little chore. Now it is
the grandchildren. When you get right down to it,
I guess putting up the Christmas tree is about the
easiest task to get done around a house where
there are kids. Getting it taken down and hauled
out of the house after Christmas is over is an
entirely different matter.

I 'understand the Lions Club had one of their
rare 100 percent meetings last Wednesday at
noon.
The word got around that the Lions were
going to have the local belly dancing instructor
as their program and she was going to give a
demonstration of belly dancing to the club
members. Needless to say, most of the Lions
Club members are interested in culture and
showed up to see how thev could utilize this
unique exercise to better their own physical
condition. It's amazing how serious-minded
these Lions can get at times.
I even heard the Lions gave up their entire
meeting and its program time to bring this bit of
culture to help one member. The Lions felt Phil
Barton could use some belly dancing exercises to
slim down a bit before the summer beach-going
season, so they sacrificed their meeting for
Phil's good. He would look so good slimmed
down and strolling the beach in a bikini.
Too, we understand that program chairman,
Bob Moore, was to be named "Lion of the Year"
by the club for performing this public service
duty for one of their prized members.
The sacrifices some people will make
continue to amaze me.

Daniel Patrick Moynihan is making all of us
proud to be Americans again. Moynihan, our
ambassador to the United Nations is standing up
on his tip-toes and telling the world just like it is.
Moynihan has the philosophy that the United
States should quit standing passively by and let
the reckless dictators and despots of the world
rant and rave about the big, bad United States
and never say a word. It has been "not in the best
political interest of the United States" to rebut
these things with which we disagree, in the past.
Moynihan has changed all that.
True, name calling doesn't cause people to
change their mind about what they wish to see
accomplished nor does it make them love the
United States. However, they didn't love the
United States in the first place and had no idea of
changing. Their sole purpose is to embarras the
United States and Moynihan is going to have
none of that.
As a matter of fact, he embarrassed right
back at them the other day by callifig for all
nations to release their political prisoners from
jail. It wasn't hard to figure out which nations
had the political prisoners locked up when the
furor started over that suggestion.
Rave on, Patrick!

J. B. Priestly said: "We should behave
toward our country as women behave toward the
men they love. A loving wife will do anything for
her husband except stop criticizing and trying, to
improve him. We should cast the same 4
affectionate but sharp glance at our country."

REFUSES IMMUNITY
The question of whether or
not the. Board had granted tax
immunity to the St. Joseph's
Bay Country Club at their last
meeting came up for discus-
sion with several of the Board
members claiming they had
not understood their vote in
that manner.
Commissioner Silas Player
said it was his understanding
the vote was to accept the
Country Club's resolution ask-
ing for the immunity for study
by the Commission.
The Country Club asked for
the inimunity under a state
statute which gives the coun-
ties the power to waive the
taxes of non-profit organiza-
tions which offers outdoor
recreation facilities for the
public use. The Country Club's
resolution stated they met that
criteria and were not making
a profit on their operation.
Player then made a motion
that the county refuse to waive
the taxes for the organization
and the Board voted unani-
mously in favor of Player's
motion.

If parades and Christmas were meant for anyone special, it
has to be the kids who are the target of the two festive
occasions. Saturday's Christmas parade in downtown Port St.
Joe attracted the kids in droves who lined the streets for a half
hour before parade time to be sure they got a glimpse of old
Santa Claus.
When Santa came into view, riding on Port st. Joe's big fire
truck the kids came to life and got where they could get a close
look at their favorite man. In the photo at left, Santa is shown
keeping up with the times a little more than usual. His beard
seems to be fuller and more luxurient than in the past. Santa is
caught in the act by the Star cameraman as he tosses a handful
of candy to the many children who came to see him. In the photo
above, droves of kids follow the fire truck up the street to get an
extra piece of candy and shout their wants and wishes to Santa
as he rides by.
The Christmas parade is sponsored each year in Port St.
Joe by the Retail Merchants' Association, as a public service to
the area. Star photos

tionary War and Early Feder-
al period of our history. The
Gadsden flag, a coiled rattle-
snake on yellow ground with
"Don't Tread on Me"; the
Betsy Ross flag, the first


official national banner with
13 stars and stripes; and the
Fort William McHenry flag,
inspiration for the national
anthem and the country's flag
from 1795-1918, are included in
the collection.
The flags have been on dis-
play in the local library and
will be the subject of the DAR
program for February, which
is history month.
They will also be displayed
at the Christmas meeting of
St. Joseph Bay Chapter on
December 17, at the home of

Beauty to Home but


Can Present Problems


By Dr. Robert Black
Ext. Urban Horticulturist
Exterior planters which
flank many contemporary
homes may represent a thing
of beauty or a problem of poor
plant choice and poor plant
health.
Perhaps the best solution in
choosing the best plantings for
planters is to plant permanent
dwarf evergreen plants which
provide year-round attractive-
ness, then supplement the
planting with seasonal flower-
ing or foliage plants for a
seasonal accent.
The home gardener will
often miss a planting date,
thus the area which is to be
accented remains void for the
season. Without permanent
plantings, the winter season,
too presents a time of void for
the planter.
Over the past several years
plant breeders have developed
outstanding dwarf plants
which are very adaptable to
limited planting areas, such
as the planter. The home-
owner has a wide selection
from which to choose, yet his
or her choice must be made
with regard to the growth
conditions of the planter, such
as whether the planter is well
drained, is it deep or shallow
or is it in sun or shade?
Do not overplant. Allow
ample room for ultimate plant
size and eliminate later prun-
ing or removal of plants. Keep
the planting simple, neat and
attractive, yet avoid mono-
tony.
Due to location, some plant-
ers are not conducive to opti-
mum plant production.
Those beneath overhangs of
the home receive little rainfall
and must be watered by hand.
Planters against west brick
walls absorb much summer
heat. Many planters have poor
drainage and others have very
poor soil.
The springtime gardener
who prefers an air conditioned
home to summer gardening
should choose plants which
demand very little care and
attention such as.' dwarf nan-
dina, yucca, dward yaupon
holly, lantana, daylilies,
dwarf bamboo, confederate
jasmine, liriope, coontie and


aspidistra.
The sunny planter may in-
clude: yucca, dwarf pyracan-
tha, dwarf nandina, dwarf
yaupon holly, dwarf junipers,
liriope, daylilies, dwarf pome-
granate, confederate jasmine,
coontie or Japanese purple
honeysuckle.
Planters in the shade may
be enhanced with aucuba,
fatsia, fatshedra, Indian haw-
thorne, dward azalea, ajuga,
coontie or holly fern.
For the planter which re-
ceives part sun and part


shade, -the gardener may
choose from dwarf yaupon,
dwarf hollies, Indian haw-
thorne, liriope, vinca, confed-
erate jasmine, dwarf gar-
denia, japanese black pine,
dward sasanqua or japanese
purple honeysuckle.
Plant choices for the planter
are numerous, yet its success
depends upon selecting the
proper plant for the existing
growing conditions. Every
planter should be attractively
planted so as to require low
maintenance

Lozwly Pogey Fish May


be What Attracted the


duPonts to Port St. Joe


Belly dancing is not only popular with the ladies of Port St.
Joe; the men seem to enjoy the art as a passing fancy also. Last
week the local instructor, Theba Gibson, demonstrated the
"exercise" to the Port St. Joe Lions Club who provided an
appreciative audience. In the photo at left, Theba does her
thing. In the photo at right, Charlie Norton, Bobby Jackson and
Bill Altsteatter s'em to approve of what she is doing.

3elly Dancing Becoming Popular



Exercise for Women and Men


There are many stereotyped
:.,deas about the art of belly
*. :ncing, however it is rapidly
h.-ecking its tarnished aura.
Thousands of women of all
j.ages in every part of the
country are participating and
,Aljoying themselves in belly
dancing classes, as they slim'
;i-:.wn. Belly dancing is an
ancientnt art reborn, has come
oa age. Most women who join
the dance classes are usually
motivated by the idea of the.
:dance as fun, exotic and. a
.,feminine form of exercise. It
.'is also very therapeutic for
,-stiff muscles. Your torso firms
Up if you're flabby and rounds
,-out in the right places if you.
.are thin.
- The belly dancing origins
are as shrouded in mystery as


the veiled, dancer tries to
convey. There are Egyptian,
Etruscan and East Indian
tomb paintings and sculptures
that resemble Middle Eastern
dancers from the First Cen-
tury *B. C. to the Fourth
Century A.D.. .
Throughout the. years, the,
dance has been abused by the
cabaret world and too. often
the cabaret dancers exceed
the boundaries of good taste.
But the high level of artistic
discipline gives the dance the
classical image it deserves.
Why have so many barriers
been broken so that so many
Westerners embraced .the
belly dance? Maybe our in-
creasingly smaller world and
our eagerness to understand.
the peoples of other cultures.


Whatever the answer, the
dance has become virtuous
and respectable. It has
emerged from its early begin-
ning, and is admired in our
modern settings as the beauti-
ful form of art that it is.
Everything about the dance
adds to the fun, the tinkling
coins, the exotic music and
costumes.
When one is dancing, it
seems as though you've step-
ped out of your everyday hum-
.drum life into a marvelous
fantasy of your mind. It is
a tremendous discipline of
mind and body though. One
must learn to control different
parts of their body and have
them moving independently of
one another. There is usually
quite more to the dance than


most ladies think, but if they ures will definitely reflect the
continue to practice their fig- results of their effort.

Would you be surprised to
know. that an unusual run of
pogey fish here in St. Joseph's
Bay was probably responsible
for the St. Joe Paper Company
being here?
George Tapper spoke to the
Rotary Club. last Thursday,
outlining some of the things
which happened here in Port
St. Joe years ago, and it was
the pogey which brought his
father, Captain Robert Tapper
here in 1918. E. I. duPont was
interested in forming a men-
haden operation in Florida at
that time and his group hired
Tapper as their production
manager. Tapper scouted the
Gulf coast for concentrations
of the fish they needed and
found his best supply here at
Port St. Joe, along with the
railroad for shipment. So, the
duPonts got into business here
looking for fish to convert to
fish oil and fertilizer.
Tapper said the firm started
a fish factory here, which was
located about where the barge
basin to St. Joe Paper Com-
pany is now located. The firm
operated a fleet of five fishing
boats with "The Alfred I.
duPont" as their flagship. The
fish processing operation
started up in 1920.
Tapper said the old Park-
wood Lumber Company was
in operation here at that time.
The dry kiln for the lumber
operation was located in the
building which now stands on
the east side of the Highway 98
overpass and is occupied by
the M. G. Lewis & Sons
Garage.
Back in those days, Port St.
Joe was a sort of spa for south
Georgia and Alabama and
north Florida, The Apalachi-
cola Northern Railroad ran
special excursion trips on the
week ends and visitors would
flock to what is now the city
park at the end of Fifth Street
for a week end of bathing,
picnicing and playing on the
beach.
Port St. Joe's first brick
building was built in 1914 by R
A Costin, father of Cecil and
Chauncey Costin. The building
was located where the Post
Office now sits and the Post


Office, Piggly Wiggly, Li-
brary and Phillip's 66 build-
ings are all built with the same
brick as were used in the first
brick building.
Tapper had some old school
programs which his mother
had saved of vintage 1920's
and '30's which listed casts of
characters which included
such people as Chauncey Cos-
tin, Elizabeth Jones (Tomlin-


Using Jump(

Can be Dan;
The common practice of
using jumper cables to start a
stalled car can be dangerous
said the Florida Highway
Patrol this week.
Colonel Eldrige Beach,
director of the Patrol urges
drivers to follow these safety
tips:
-Refrain from smoking
during jumping process.
Sparks could cause an explo-
sion.
-Be sure the dead battery
and the booster are of the
same voltage-either six or 12
volts.
-Be sure lights, radio, heat-
er, and other accessories are
turned off, and parking brake
is set. Put gear lever in
neutral or park.
-Remove the vent caps of
both batteries to release hy-
drogen gas and cover vents
with cloth.
-Attach jumper cables as:

others.
Guests of the club were

Va., Leon Pollock of Port St.
Joe and Wheelettes Katrina
Pippin and Arlethea Hender-
son.


2r Cables a

gerous
The positive (+) terminal of
the booster must be attached
to the positive terminal of the
dead battery. (Positive termi-
nals are marked with a "P" or
"+"). The negative terminal
of the booster should be at-
tached to the engine block of
the stalled car or other ground
connection at least one foot
from the dead battery. DC.;
NOT connect the negative ter-
minals of the two batteries.
Foreign cars may have a posi-
tive ground, so check with a
dealer before attempting the
jumping procedure.
-Start the stalled car.
-Reversele attachment
procedure.
-Remove and dispose of
cloths covering vent, replace
vent caps.
Beach concluded by saying,
"The best course is to replace
your battery near the end of
its' guaranteed life

Search Rescue Important




Activity of Sheriff's Squad
C' V 0/ er ua-


One of the less known, but
. anore' important duties of the
., .ulf County'. Sheriff's De-
.,:,artment, is that of its search
-and rescue operations.
During the hunting season in
particulara, hardly a week goes
S'., without 'a call to try and
cate a missing hunter, or

people coming into Gulf .Coun-
from out of the area, and
Lt of state, are especially
.. x'


prone. to become lost in
swamps and sloughs of the
Chipola and Apalachicola
River. systems. Fortunately,
nearly all of them are found
within a few hours of their
being reported missing, with
little harm other than being
forced to spend the night in the
open. However, there is the
occasional case where some-
one has fallen from a boat, or
has a heart attack or stroke


while in the woods.
Sheriff Raymond Lawrence
recognized the need for a well
equipped and efficient search
and rescue team and has been
working toward that goal. His
efforts have paid off and the
county.now has one of the best
teams in this area.
So far this year, the de-
.partment had located 34 mis-
sing hunters and fishermen,
recovered the bodies of five


Sheriff's Department rescue vehicles.


drowning victims and three
victims of apparent heart
attacks while in the woods or
on the water. The successful
conclusion of all these search
efforts are the result of many
hundreds of man hours on the
scenes.
The department has exper-
ienced personnel and equip-
ment ready to go into opera-
tion on a moment's notice.
Several deputies have spent
most of their lives in Gulf
County, and are familiar with
the areas where people most
often become lost. There is
also a registered Emergency
Medical Technician on hand in
case he is needed.
The department has two
boats, a large one for use in
the bay or river and a smaller
one for the river and sloughs.
Both are radio equipped,
there is a four wheel drive
vehicle and much other spec-
ialized equipment for use in
search and rescue work.
If necessary, additional per-
sonnel of the Sheriff's Auxil-
iary, Civil Defense, Game and
Fresh Water Fish Commis-
sion, Coast Guard and Marine
Patrol may be called in.
The entire rescue team
stands ready and able to do
the job when they are called
upon.

Ronald Daniels ran 75
yards for a touchdown, with
10:12 left in the last period, to
give the Sharks a 14-7 win over
the Chipley Tigers last Friday
night. The win gave the
Sharks a shot at the semi-
finals in the Class 2A football
play-offs, and ended Chipley's
hopes for their first state
crown. *
The game started at 9:00,
Port St. Joe time, but the con-
test could just as well have
gotten under way at 8:00 be-
cause everyone was there, in-
cluding about as many Port
St. Joe fans as there were
from Chipley.
To make matters more fin-
ger-nail chewing than the
ganlmewould ha've.been odin-
ariry, .'totert warmer, l(|e
Sharks big man with the run,
had his ankle injured on the
first play of the game and
could only hobble for the few
times he came onto the field
during the night.
With Farmer's injury, Dan-
iels, the Shark threat around
end and on returns, sucked it
lin alnna with thp nnorvh


defensive play of Preston
Gant, Calvin Watson, Marcus
Manning, Ray Lawrence, Jo-
dy Taylor, Steve Cloud, Ches-
ter Fennell, Greg Abrams,
Bill Norton and Tim Hatcher
and did what it took to win the
game.
John Owens, who had been
out a few games with an
injured knee had the knee hit
again in the last period, but
went on to finish the game
after sitting on the sidelines
for a few plays.
The tough defense put the
Tigers deep in their territory
to set up the first touchdown
by the Sharks which stood
until the last period as the only
scoring in the game.
"The Sharks' punter, Rick
Hatcher, backed the Tigers all
the way to their own seven
yard line by putting one out of
bounds. The Tigers were able
to get only to their own 33
before they ran out of downs,
but Tiger penalties put them
back on their own 13 before
they finally got rid of the ball.
The Sharks took the ball on
the Chipley 35, and after two
plays for only five yards,
Owens hit Preston Gant with a
seven yard pass and a first
down from the Tiger 23. Two
more plays and Daniels had
the ball on the six. Daniels
then picked up two more yards
before the injured Farmer
cracked through the middle,
breaking two tackles on the
way, for the score. Norton's
kick for the extra point was
good.
About the middle of the
second period, the Tigers were
on their own 44 yard line with
a fourth and one and they
gambled. The entire Shark
line stopped the run and the
Sharks had the ball in Tiger
territory again.
The Sharks couldn't move
and had to punt, with eight
seconds left in the half. The
Tigers fumbled the ball on
their own 21 and Preston Gant
fell on the ball. With two
seconds left on the clock


Owens hit Gant just short of
the goal line, but Gan'couldn't
get across.
It was breaks as much as
anything else which gave the
Tigers their only score of the
game. Early in the second
half, with a third-'and long
situation, Dilly Webb went to
the air, and Daniels slipped
and fell into the' intended
receiver, earning a pass inter-
ference call. Theodis Lee then
squirted around left end and
went 38 yards to the Shark 16
before he was knocked out of
bounds by Calvin Watson.
Watson drew a personal foul
penalty and the ball was
moved to the Shark eight yard
line. On the second down,
Jimmy Williams took the
-pitch-out' ..frpomr Webbi .who
barely got the togs bff-before
he was scrambled by Gant,
and Williams scored with
11:09 left in the period.
Daniels said he felt respon-
sible for the touchdown, so on
the second down after the
kick, he made it through the
Tiger line, then out-ran the
secondary for 75 yards and the
Sharks winning score.
Bill Norton put his kick for
the extra point squarely
through the uprights and the
defensive battle started in
earnest from that point on.
The Tigers owned the foot-
ball twice during the re-
mainder of the game, but were
forced into a fumble on their
first possession on their own 25
yard line by Steve Cloud and
Chester Fennell, with James
Ward covering the loose ball
for the Sharks.
The Sharks nearly made it
21-7 on this possession, Robert
Farmer hobbled for an 11 yard
gain, Sanborn, who went in for
the injured Owens, hit Greg
Abrams with a pass at the goal
line, but a Tiger interferred.
The Sharks got the ball on the
nine from the penalty and in
three carries, Daniels put the
ball on the two. On fourth
down, Robert Farmer tried to
go through the middle of the


line for the score, but was
stopped about six inches short.
The Tigers'-Dilly Webb then
really started passing in ear-
nest. Ray Lawrence, Ches-
ter Fennell and Preston Gant
each sacked Webb good on
pass attempts before his
fourth down pass went wide
and the Sharks sat on the ball
to run out the game clock.
There were no outstanding
defensive players for the
Sharks.>All played their hearts
out and made life miserable
for quarterback Dilly Webb
and the Tiger runners during
the entire game. Fennell,
Cloud, Manning, Gant and
Lawrence stayed in the Chip-
ley backfield about as much as
they stayed in their own
9 4urifi" "th tire gm!" f'n-
nell, "Daniels and Gant each
had seven tackles and one
assist to their credit; followed


by Lawrence with five tackles
and four assists, Manning with
five tackles, Sanborn with four
and four, and Cloud with four
tackles and three assists. Fen-
nell and Ward each recovered
a fumble.
Robert Farmer, hobbled
with his first play injury, still
got into the game enough to
gain 50 yards and managed to
push his total for the year to
1,546. Daniels, who had a
superb night in his unaccus-
tomed role as the main ball
carrier, ripped off 149.

SApalachee Bend Girl Scout Council Officially

S-1. ... A ANWF Water Management Group


The Girl Scout Council of
the Apalachee Bend officially


dedicated their Camp For All blessing of the house cere- were held at two p.m. Public
.Season on December 6th. A mony and formal dedication Service Commissioner Billy


Mayo, who chaired the cam-
paign to raise funds for the
camp, made a few opening
remarks. Persons for whom
various buildings in the camp
complex have been named
were given special recognition
for their support. The Girl
Scout choir, directed by Mar-
tha (Mrs. George) Bishop,
presented the Blessing of the
House ceremony.
A Camp For All Seasons is
located on Lake Talquin just
off Highway 20, about 15 miles
west of Tallahassee. It is
easily accessible to all of the
15 counties in the Apalachee
Bend Council. Built at a cost of
$375,000.00, A Camp For All
Seasons took approximately
one and a half years to
complete.
A Camp For All Seasons is
the culmination of the dreams
and hard work of many girls
and adults. For years, girls
have sold cookies to provide a
starting fund for the camp.
Many generous people contri-
buted to a capital campaign
which provided the remaining
funds for the construction of
the camp. On December 6th,
hundreds of girls and adults
saw the beautiful results of
their hard work. '


Small Business Administration Extends Loan


Deadline to December 31 for Disaster Aid


Douglas McAllister, District
Director, Small Business Ad-
ministration, Jacksonville,
announced this week that the
Small Business Administra-
tion has extended the deadline
for filing Disaster Loan appli-
cations for loans to repair,
restore or replace damage
resulting from Hurricane
Eloise to December 31, 1975.
McAllister said that this


action became necessary be-
cause of reports that it is
taking longer than anticipated
for a number of property
owners on the beaches to
determine whether or not they
could rebuilt on the present
locations, having plans and
specifications drawn, and, in
some instances, compiling fi-
nancial data to support loan
applications.


McAllister also stated that
the extended deadline of Dec-
ember 31, was firm and that
individuals, home owners,
property owners or business
owners who do not file an
application on or before Dec-
ember 31, will not be consider-
ed for disaster loan assist-
ance.

Applications should be filed


as soon as possible, regardless
of whether or not insurance
claims have been settled or
waivers or permits obtained.
Long-term loans for the pur-
pose of repairing, restoring or
replacing tangible losses as a
result of Hurricane Eloise,
less insurance proceeds, are
available.

Disaster Field Offices are


located at the Wayside Shop-
pign Center. 16006 West High-
way 98, Panama City Beach,
32401, telephone 234-8856, at

One highlight of the meeting
will be a presentation of the U.
S. Geological Survey film en-
titled "Flood Plain Manage-
ment" which shows the detri-
mental effects of flood plain
encroachment. Many flooding
problems in northwest Florida
are a result of construction
within the flood plains of the
surface water courses of the
District. These problems can
best be controlled through
proper flood -plain manage-
ment before construction oc-
curs in these areas.
The District staff will pre-
sent a report on the damage
resulting from the spring and
summer flooding throughout
the northwest Florida district
and the Chotawhatchee River
Flood Prevention Program
will be discussed.
Discussion of a proposal for
a study of the Apalachicola-
Chattahoochee-Flint Rivers is
on the agenda. This study will
provide necessary informa-
tion about these river basins
and facilitate intelligent man-
agement of this great river
system in conjunction with the
states of Alabama and Geor-
gia.
The Gulf Power Company
Site application for the power
plant at Caryville will also be
discussed.

By Joe St. Clair
There have been many
inspiring words about
overcoming our handi-
caps. The pages of history
are filled with the stories
of men and women who,
despite handicaps, have
achieved greatness.
Judges inithe Bible tells
of an interesting event
which relates to the or-
ganization of an army. It
says there were 700
chosen left-handed men.
The interesting fact a-
bout this great army is
that these men had not
always been left-handed.
They were likely seasqn-
ed soldiers who had been
in battle and been incap--
acitated of the use of their
right hands-their sword
hands.
They had learned to be
fighters with their left
hands.
We all feel handicaps in
our own lives. But the-
greatness in a person:
comes through when they
overcome. :
The 700 left-handed sol-:
diers won their battle-so
can we. Everyone has a:
strategic reserve of phy.--
sical and spiritual energy .
and adaptability which-
we rarely use.
