S U TumIDTY-INTH YEAR. NUMBER 16 4 Industry Deep Water Port Fine People Safest Beaches in Florida PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA THURSDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1975 15 Cents Per Copy Board Promises to Repair Baseball and Football Stadiums Bob Moore outlines stadium needs to School Board. "Plush" Is the Only ord Commission Approves Cemetery In provements The City Commission may not make much money ($25.00 a month) but they sure do have a nice place in which to meet. The Commission occu- _pied. its newly refurbished meeting rooms Tuesday night for the first time. The meeting room has had a new podium installed for the Commission to preside from. Carpet has been placed on the floor, new furniture installed and the room completely re- novated and redecorated. The redecorating was done by Bob Simon, superintendent of the Wastewater Treatment Plant and the work was done by his crew of craftsmen. The first action by the Board in their new quarters was to agree to cooperate with the St. Joseph Historical Society to install a sprinkler system at County Accepts Tractor Bid of $72,644 from Burford Company' The Gulf County Commis- sion voted Tuesday afternoon to pay Burford Tractor Com- Commercial Fishermen to Talk with Rish Gulf County's commercial fishermen will be meeting with Representative William J. Rish Monday night in the Highland View Elementary School. The fishermen will discuss needed legislation with Rish to be considered in the coming session of the Legislature. The meeting will begin at 7:00 p.m., in the school cafe- teria. pany of Marianna, $72,644.00 for a track mounted back-hoe. Burford was one of 10 con- cerns entering bids on the machine last week, but the Commission had turned the bids over to Road Superinten- dent Lloyd Whitfield to ascer- tain which bids met the speci- fications called for. Whitfield reported at the meeting Tuesday that, in his opinion, the Burford bid on a Caterpillar machine was the best bid offered. Al Gunter, a representative of Bear Equipment Company of Panama City pointed out his bid on a John Deere machine was $19,644 less than the Burford bid, but the Commis- sion disallowed his bid be- cause the machine was con- siderably smaller than the one called for in the bids. Whitfield also recommend- ed the county keep their old drag-line which is being replaced. "The trade-in price is not enough", Whitfield said. "We can still use the machine for light work and it will be worth more to us than we are being offered in trade." While Tuesday's session was a recess of last Tuesday's bid for the purpose of consi- dering the bid, the Board was also confronted with a group of about 15 people who wanted to protest a suggestion that the Veterans' Service officer and the Civil Defense offices be combined with one full time man to administer both. The Commission made no definite decision on the mat- ter, since they had said they would make up their minds at their first meeting in January. County Gets $20,000 In Disaster Aid Gulf County has received a check for $20,000 in disaster funds from the Department of Community Affairs to repair county roads damaged by Hurricane Eloise. The check was sent to the County by the state agency after application had been made for payment by Gulf County Civil Defense at the direction of the County Com- mission. the Old St. Joseph Cemetery. The Historical Society agreed to put up $1,800 in cash toward the job immediately and agreed to share the other expense involved on a dollar for dollar basis. Wayne Childers acted as spokesman for the Historical Society and outlined the pro- ject. He said the Society wished to see an underground sprinkler system installed, with a deep well dug to provide necessary water to operate the system. The Society presented the Commission with a set of plans for the project. Estimated cost for the over- all job is expected to run about $5-6,000. The Commission agreed to accept the Historical Society's offer if a reasonable price could be obtained to do the work. The Commission agreed to call for bids on the project to get a definite cost before giving their final approval of the request, ORDINANCE At their last meeting, the Board considered Commis- sioner Roberts' suggestion for a more realistic charge for* delinquent water customers and arrive at-a definite policy for curtailing water service to those who do not pay their bills on time. An ordinance was intro- duced Tuesday night which would make all bills delin- quent and subject to a $1.00 late charge after the 10th of the month. If the bill was still unpaid by the 20th the service would be cut off and a $5.00 charge levied for turning the water back on. The new ordinance will go into effect with the February 1976 billing. Roberts said the new plan would cut down on the chronic large number of late bills the City office must handle each (Continued on Page 8) The Port St. Joe Quarter- back Club cornered the Gulf County School Board Tuesday evening and brought to their attention the deplorable atten- tion of the baseball stadium and needs for maintenance at the football stadium. After an on-sight inspection of the facilities, Bob Moore, acting as spokesman for the Quarterback Club outlined the club members' feelings on the matter. .Moore said, "You have to admit, the facilities are in poor shape. There are4eaks in the gyms, problems at the football stadium and playing field. The worst example is the baseball stadium. It is an eyesore and potential liabil- ity to the school board." Moore said the Quarterback Club was recommending the baseball field have a new roof put on the bleacher section with repairs made to the seating, fencing and lighting. He estimated the repairs would cost in the neighbor- hood of $14,000. Moore went on to explain that the advantages which would result would naturally be a better baseball program, allow more support of the team by the community by allowing night games to be played, thus increasing the. income from the sport. "It would also make the facility available for year-round use',, Moore said. School Board member Fred Greer asked for priorities on the work requested as the School Board did not have the money to make the requested repairs at this time. Moore replied that of course safety measures had priority but that all requests were just as important as the other. Board member Gene Raf- field said he favored placing the baseball stadium in first- class condition and also mak- ing necessary repairs to the rest rooms at the football stadium. He went on to say he favored borrowing the money to pay for the work and repay it over a period of time. "This will enable us to get the facilities usable and allow us to enjoy the games while providing our children a safe and adequate place for year- round recreation. Quarterback Club president Raymond Lawrence said he felt it wasn't the responsibility of the club to maintain the facilities. "The club has built the field, lighted it and con- structed the teachers. "Our purpose has been to purchase those items the School Board (Continued on Page 8) Early Star Will Print Letters to Santa Claus The Star will be printed early next week, in order to go through the mails prior to the Christmas holidays.

Carter Ward, Veteran of School Board, Dies at 96 Carter' Brown' Ward, 96, a resident of 1521 North Baylen St., Pensacola, died Saturday night in a Pensacola nursing home. He was a native of Bruce, but had resided in Pen- sacola for the past four years, moving there from Port St. Joe. Mr. Ward was a long-time resident of Gulf County, had served on the Gulf County School Board for 28 years, was a retired employee of St. Joe Lumber and Export and a member of the Bruce Metho- dist Church. Survivors include three daughters, Mrs. Anita Bran- don and Mrs. Della Spotts, both of Pensacola, and Mrs. Hazel Stafford of White City; two sisters, Mrs. Laura Mc- Cook of Bruce and Mrs. Ola Karmondyl of Freeport; six grandchildren, four great- grandchildren.

Entire County Sclhool System VNow Meets Criteria Accreditation Approved for All Gulf County Elementary Schools The Gulf County School Board has received official notification that the three ele- mentary schools, Port St. Joe Elementary School, Highland View Elementary, and Wewa- hitchka Elementary School, are now fully accredited with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. This is a regional educational agency which accredits public and private schools in 11 southern states. The attainment of accredi- tation status certifies that the institution has met the policies and standards established by the Commission of Elemen- tary Schools of the Associa- tion. The official action concern- ing the Gulf County schools was taken during the 80th annual meeting of the Asso- ciation during the week of December 7, in Atlanta, Ga. The Gulf County schools were further recognized by a request from the Association to make available their writ- ten program as models to be used throughout the area as they were one of the first sys- tems to use the new criteria now the official standards for the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. This written program was a result of a two-year study by the schools' administration, facul- ty, students and parents with an outline of the present program and a plan for an improved school. In receiving this informa- tion, Superintendent Bidwell stated, "This is one of the long range goals as defined in the school l board policy that we have been striving for in Gulf County. We believe this pro- gram will provide improved educational programs for all our youth. This is the first time all schools in Gulf County have been completely ac- credited by a nationally recognized educational agen- cy. I know the people join the school board in being proud to say that all of Gulf County schools have been fully ac- credited." *1 Commissioners' new desk and plush chairs.

The.Sharks Are ."State Champs" To Us The season ended abruptly here Friday night, after a prolonged stay in. the minds and hopes of our citi- zens. The abrupt ending meant the Sharks would not go to the state play-off finals this year. We can't be too disappointed over the fact. The Sharks had a fine Season, bringing the fans some of the better football games they have ever -witnessed with a Port St. Joe team. The Blountstown game, both Chipley Games, the Monticello, DeFuniak Springs and Santa Fe games were as .gdod as any the Sharks have ever Splayed. The team went farther and had a bIetter season than most of their ,loyal fans thought they would. They Sdid it by sheer determination, which ,.is- one of the valuable lessons a .inwg man learns playing football., We're proud of the Sharks. They. :climbed from the unranked the last quarter of the season to the third 'best football team in the state-so sfar as the records go. .. Unofficially, and in our opi- nion, the Sharks deserve to be the state champions, based on their ability to use their talents -and play together as a team. With no stars on the team, save possibly Robert Farmer and his running, the Sharks definitely were the best team in the semi- finals here Friday night. They were just banged up too bad from the regular season to com- pete with a team which had depth. In our opinion the Sharks show- ed their championship caliber by putting up the fight they did Friday night. They were hurt. Farmer couldn't run even as much as he did in Chipley; Etheridge couldn't block for him; Owens was in pain; Daniels was hurting bad by the middle of the third quarter. That's the ball movers out of action. But they didn't quit. They didn't go sit down and beg off. They still tridd as hard as they could. - It isn't everybody, these days, who will go ahead and shoulder their responsibility when they don't par- ticularly feel like it. The thing to do these days is to go plead "sick" and take advantage of your benefits. We congratulate the Sharks ,on learning to keep on trying even after others would .quit. That's the sign of a champion. Doctors Deserve Thanks I p The people of Port St. Joe and Gulf County owe our local doctors a vote of appreciation. : The county faced the loss of emergency room service at the IMunicipal Hospital, but the doctors figured out a plan where the service can still be offered to treat emer- gencies here at home. All of you have read of the .unrealistic charges being made for malpractice insurance these days. In: the case of how it would affect ' Port St. Joe citizens, the emergency room situation was a prime exam- ple. The City was being faced with hiring doctors to staff the emergen- cy:room at a minimum of $40,000 per year for each doctor, and furnish them malpractice insurance, or ejose down the emergency room. : In the past, local physicians have staffed the emergency room, but their new malpractice insurance rates make it mandatory that they quit, since the portion of their policy ivtiich covered them in offering emergency room treatment was just riore than they could stand finan- cially. The problem is that there is not enough emergency room business to FHP Estimat< ift is estimated that 31 per- crease in traffic so~s will die in Florida traffic served during accidents during the 102-hour months of this Ch.istmas holiday period said The official thd Florida Highway Patrol gins at 6:00 P.MI t h is w e e k .D e m b r 2 a this estimate is based on December 24 facility experience during the night, sunday, pl.st three Christmas holidays "Drivers facE al6ng with an 11 percent de- gers of vehicle pay the doctor for his exhorbitant insurance premiums or recoup even a small amount of what the City might have to lay out for hiring emergency room doctors. Faced with this problem, the local doctors got their heads toge- ther and arranged a schedule where they could have their emergency room duties classified as a part time service and drastically reduce their malpractice insurance rate (even though it is still a considerable amount). After months of corresponding with insurance companies and num- erous conferences, the doctors have been able to come up with their plan which will allow emergency room service to continue. We feel the periodic need of the emergency room by local citizens prompted the doctors to go to extreme lengths to ,provide it. They felt it was their civic duty to try to arrange this coverage for the pro- tection of our citizens. We feel they are due a vote of thanks from John Q. Public for their actions. CAPTAIN OF THE SHIP Contact With The Outside World By CHARLIE WEBB Whether farmers or not, al- most everyone in town sub- scribed to a farm paper that was called the Southern Ruralist. The paper was one of our few contacts with the out- side world in purchasing things that we thought would make our lives better. Coon and fox hunters would order new breeds of dogs. One fellow, in a kind of status sym- bol act, ordered a monkey. (The date of the monkey's ar- rival was a big day in town and we all went down to the express office to meet the monkey, but on arrival it was dead.) We could always- tell from the" peppermint aoiors around the express office in the railroad depot when some- one had ordered a sack of herbs and roots to brew teas and make poultices in the everlasting pursuit of curing pain. Subscriptions to the paper were sold by a man wearing a silk striped shirt with the shirt pocket jammed with penny pencils. Just standing on Main Street, he was able to contact everyone in town because we all had pride in our town and loved to walk and visit around with each other on the street and in the stores on Saturdays. The storekeepers were good to us and always had a little surprise gift to perk -up our trading ego In retui" f6r the favors from the merchants we would give them later on, brown speckled yard eggs neatly rounded up in a bucket of cotton seed hulls and wood dasher churned buttermilk in quart fruit jars. We all seemed to be happy and proud to just be alive. The salesman's successful pitch in selling subscriptions to the paper was, "if you have pride you need the Southern Ruralist." Perhaps pride is deeper than the elements of arro- gance and vanity. Maybe it is part of the beautiful glow of humility within the heart that often seemss to .say, "it's great to hbathuman individual within the wonders and beauty of creation." Florida Opposition to River Dam Is Diluted by Jackson The Jackson County Com- missioners last Tuesday en- dorsed a proposed navigation dam on the Apalachicola River. The endorsement came after announcement that the new Florida West Port at Sneads had reached tentative agreement with a major ferti- lizer manufacturer for con- struction of a million dollar distribution facility at the port. Commission Chairman Nor- wood Jackson of Cottondale said the agreement was a big boost for the county and for area farmers who are being called on to provide food and fiber for more and more people. Jackson said the only way the port can handle the ferti- lizer efficiently is to have a dependable navigation chan- nel from Sneads to the Gulf of Mexico. The Corps of Engineers, charged with the responsibil- ity of providing the shipping channel authorized by Con- gress, has. offered several proposals for solving low- water problems in the river, the latest of which calls for a small dam flooding 604 acres between Bristol and Blounts- town. Of six Florida counties bor- dering the river, two others, Libery and Gadsden, also have approved the single-dam proposal. The Jackson County en- dorsement came on a motion by Fred Williams of Grand Ridge, seconded by M. A. Schack of Greenwood. It was passed unanimously, with Chairman Jackson and Com- missioners Elton Andreasen of Marianna and Clarence Price of Graceville also voting in favor of the'resolution. J. C. Gissendaner, Chatta- hoochee businessman, spoke to the Board in behalf of the resolution. He was joined by Homer Hirt, Jr., director of the Florida-West port. Hirt said construction would begin soon on the 25,000 ton fertilizer storage facility. He said a 20-year lease would pay for the facility and that fees for unloading materials should be sufficient to meet semi-annual bond payments of $60,000 on the port itself.

"Enjoy the yuletide season, but when you are in your auto- mobile, take every precau- tion. Leave early, avoid heavy traffic whenever possible, keep a watchful eye for pede- strians and above all, if you drink, don't drive," concluded Colonel Beach. I'M SOMEBODY'S SANTA Safety is a family affair. FLORI DA-O GOVERNOR' ARRIVE AL HIGHWAY SAFETY .SUNSHINE STATE. COMMISSION Florida Departm. nt of Adrr.nt,,tr.aton SEtaoin S Shrdlu T 'W-Ij By: WESLEY R. RAMSEY A Ford In Our Future? I see by the papers where former California Governor and movie actor Ronald Reagan is off and running for the Republican nomination for the presidency. Reagan seems to be getting plenty of encouragement to try his hand at earning the seat in the White House. He appeals to a lot of people with his conservative views. -1 think Mr. Reagan will fall just a mite short of his goal, if President Gerald Ford continues to come up with a timely veto of the babblings of Congress every once in a while. The Democratic controlled Congress seems to have gone wild in their obsession at unseating the Republican occupant of the White House. The papers are full of investigation after investigation, aimed primarily at embarrassing the Republican head of state more so than trying to reach any truth or change which might make right any. wrong which might have been committed. It's no secret that any government agency with the power of the FBI or the CIA usurps their power once in a while. A prime example is the Internal Revenue Service which exercises powers at time comparable with those found only in a police state. Let the IRS suspect you are guilty of income tax infractions and you must prove. you are innocent, rather than the IRS having to prove you are guilty. It is prudent that we point out here that most of the Florida delegation to Congress has backed the Republican president's position in demanding spending cuts commensurate with any tax cuts which might be offered to the people next year. Congressmen Bafalis, Bennett, Chappell, Frey, Fuqua, Gibbons, Ha- ley, Kelly, Rogers, Sikes and Young back the President in his contention that a spending ceiling should be placed on next year's bud- get. Congressmen Fascell, Lehman and Pep- per feel no budget ceiling is necessary. Personally, I feel the Democratic Congress is demanding an open-ended budget simply 'because a Republican president wants to impose a ceiling. If the Republican president wanted an open-end budget, I feel the Democratic Congress would demand a ceiling. We had a straw ballot of presidential preference at the Rotary Club meeting last Thursday. Program chairman George Tapper posed the question: "If the presidential election were to be held tomorrow, who would you vote for?" Tapper gave each member present an opportunity to answer and all but one gave him an answer. It was interesting to note that every member of the club preferred a Republican candidate. There was only one registered Republican in the meeting that day. The remainder were register- ed Democrats. Of the votes cast, 10 voted for President Ford and eight cast their votes for Ronald Reagan., Tapper conducted a similar poll some eight months ago, and the majority cast their preference for Governor George Wallace of Alabama. Thursday, even though Wallace is one of the myriad of Democratic candidates, he did not gain one vote of preference. To be sure, the members of the Rotary club do not represent the majority of voting Gulf County. Based on the manner in which national polls are conducted, however, the sampling of preferences by Tapper gives as good an indication as the national polls. As a matter of fact, the percentage of those asked as against the total population of the county was not as low in Tapper's poll as it is in the national polls. If more local organizations would make similar polls from the man in the street, the small businessman, the blue collar worker, the tax payer; and the results made public; I feel we could make some changes in the Democratic party. If the people who are in power under the Democratic flag could see they no longer have' the confidence of the person who places the ballot in the box, we may see some changes made in our nation for the better. Who knows, we may even see a cap placed on the national budget, or, more remotely, we may even see a balanced national budget. One of the things we would surely see is the public's chagrin at the hypocritic actions of Congress in demanding that the City of New York put it's financial house in order and all the while plunging the nation along the same path as that followed by New York.

THURSDAY, DEC. 18, 1975 PAGE FIVE 'Tis the Season to be Stealing. 0 0 "I. only did it because the other kids dared me to." "The store can afford it." "Nobody told me it .was against the law." These were the excuses given last year by more than 35,000 criminals (Florida De- partment of Criminal Law Enforcement 1974 Annual Re- port) when asked why they had broken the law. They were not the hardened crime prone hoodlums so common to tele- vision shows, but they now Have a criminal record. These criminals were usu- ally teenage girls, housewives who were stretching the bud- get and elderly people strug- gling to make a living on a fixed income. Most had spot- less criminal records but they made the mistake of stealing from a retail establishment and now they will always be known as ... .a shoplifter. With the Christmas buying season in full swing, the pro- blem becomes all too apparent to merchants. Florida Retail Federation estimates that 65. percent of a merchant's year- ly theft losses will occur be- tween October 1 and January 1. Although violent crime gets the headlines, retail theft is more costly to merchants and consumers. In 1974 all crimes against business, including armed robber and business burglary, accounted for only 148 million dollars worth of losses, compared to retail theft losses of 253 million dol- lars. Law enforcement officials discount the old heart rending theory that Christmas brings shoplifters into stores to steal presents they cannot afford. Most shoplifters steal during Christmas because of the large crowds, inexperienced part-time Christmas em- ployees and the large volume of goods flowing onto the shelves. The average theft is worth 28 dollars and most shoplifters have more than enough money to pay for the stolen items. AVERAGE OFFENDER WHITE, YOUNG Arrest figures show the average offender in Florida is white and young. Fifty-three (53) percent of those arrested are under 18 years of age. Most are female from middle class families. Housewives ac- count for the second largest arrested group and the elderly are rapidly becoming a major third class. While the professional shop- lifter is a problem, it is esti- mated that he only makes up 10 percent of all shoplifters. The professionals concentrate on items they can quickly re- sell such as televisions and appliances, while the amateur frequently steals items for his own personal use such as records, food, watches, etc. Although merchants spent over four billion dollars nationwide last year on secur- ity measures such as concave mirrors, cameras, plain- clothes detectives, the most effective crime deterrent re- mains stringent enforcement of the law and prosecution of shoplifters. Once "the word" circulates that a store is hard line on thieves, shoplifters tend to stay away rather than risk apprehension. GOVERNOR'S GROUP HELPING The Governor's Crime Pre- vention Committee (Help Stop Crime!) is helping the state's police and sheriff depart- ments combat the problem by distributing shoplifting films, a merchant's guide to shop- lifting techniques using a slide show, placards proclaiming arrest for stealing and a series of print ads to newspapers that urge merchants to prose- cute. A contest has also been established with the Florida Retail Federation that urges audio and visual media to submit scripts for the most creative message against shoplifting. Florida's shoplifting sta- tute, 811.022, was recently amended to give merchants more legal rights in stopping suspected thieves. The law al- lows a merchant to detain either on or off the premises without a warrant any person that he has "reasonable cause" to believe is stealing. "Probable cause" is the most important element of a court case, because it protects the merchant from false arrest and is the motivation for ar- rest within the store. If a merchant notices that an item is missing from a display immediately after a customer left that area, he may detain the customer even though he may not actually witness the theft. However, a merchant cannot take the word of a customer that some- one stole something, as this would be "hearsay evidence" and is not admissible in court. A customer may warn a clerk and the clerk can then observe the suspected shoplifter and look for any movements or evidence of stealing. Merchants who observe a shoplifter and successfully de- tain him, should follow several procedures. First of all, get the suspect to a private part of the store with another clerk as witness (if the shoplifter is female, be sure the clerk is female). This will eliminate any later charges by the suspect that, you subjected him to "public embarrass- ment." Call the police immediately. Write down a report of the in- cident. Include every detail you can think of, including time, description of the sus- pect, items taken, etc. Give a copy to the police officer and make several copies for all witnesses. This report should be reviewed several times before the case comes to trial because missed details in chant's attempt to detain him, ployees also saves money for Putting merchandise under be devised.

Merchants simply jail. By Joe St. Clair We read a bit of good, sound logic the other day. Someone had simply writ- ten these words: "A smooth sea never makes a skillful mariner."' There is much truth in this statement. A sailor becomes skilled only as he guides his ship through raging seas and stormy voyages. Anyone can plot a course through a calm- but only the best can face a storm, weather it-and bring the ship safely to harbor. It is through the storms of experience that the mariner becomes skillful. Isn't that true with life? The hard and difficult days tend to make each of us a better person-better fitted for life. Everyone's life will be filled with many calm voyages, but there are sure to be storms and gales, because they are part of life, too. OUR THOUGHT TO REMEMBER: Life is a sea--both calm and stormy.

TURDAY DE. 1, 975 PAG SEEI Sharks Bounced Out of Play-offs A football season which started with expectations of having a fair or good record ended here Friday night, with the Sharks making an unex- pected serious run at the state 2A crown.. A proud Shark team limped onto the field Friday in the state semi-finals, then limped off again after 48 minutes of play ,with their dreams of glory smashed, 20-0 by a Hamilton County team which -.he Sharks could have beaten on any day of its regular season. The Sharks were still a proud team. The Sharks started the sea- tson with no depth at all and in. the end, it was the lack of depth which kept them home this week end. Injuries, which started with John Owens in- jury in the DeFuniak game kept plaguing the Sharks until the last half of the game here Friday night, when the Sharks ran out of running backs and couldn't move. "You just don't pick up anyone and send them in to run in a championship football game", Coach Wayne Taylor said. "There is more to running the football than meets the eye." Crippled and hurting with many of the team's members barely over a week's bout with the flu and running back -I Greg Abrams (22) is tackled immediately by a Trojan after catching a pass, but holds on to the ball.

Ice Furnished, No Set-Ups 'i ..-^'a j.A< 'A i i ^ i ca C> >.i Robert Farmer out of the line-up with a bad ankle and fullback Mike Etheridge side- lined with a broken collar bone, the Sharks just couldn't put their offensive punch to- gether. The punch has been considerable during their games this year. The Sharks gave up the only three turn-overs in the game and Hamilton County scored on all three. An intercepted pass, a bad snap of the ball from center on a punt and a fumble all resulted in Trojan touchdowns. A fan said the Sharks beat themselves, but any team which beat the Sharks this year could say they had a hand in it. Another fan saw the bright side by remarking, "I'm not disappointed. This team has played exciting football this year and went farther than I, thought they would." The Trojans scored more points on the Sharks than any other team has this year in a- single game. As a matter of fact, the Sharks gave up only 39 points during the entire regular season and 22 in the play-off games prior to Fri- day. It was only the second game this year in which the Sharks failed to score. In the other game, against Monti- cello, the Sharks won 1-0 in overtime. While' the Sharks has fea- tured the finest, defensive outfit in this part of the country this season, it was, ironically, another team's de- fense which defeated them, Friday night. For the first half, 11 minutes and 35 seconds of the third quarter, it looked as if Fri- day's semi-final game would go the overtime route. Then the roof fell in. Quarterback John Owens was hit as he passed on first down from his own 31 yard line with 25 seconds left in the third period. Stan McLeod inter- cepted the floundering pass at his shoe tops and scored for the Trojans. Quarterback Ken Anderson passed to'McClddd in the right corner of the end zone for the two extra points. Three plays into the last period, the Sharks were hav- ing to punt from deep in their own territory on their own 27 yard line. The snap from center .sailed over punter Rick Hatcher's head and bob- bled into the end zone where it was covered by the Trojan's Leroy Raiford for the touch- down. The extra point kick was no good and the Sharks were behind, 14-0. In the last third of the final period, the Sharks began put- ting together a shaky drive, sparked by a 28 yard pass from Steve Owens to Sandy Sanborn, then suddenly the ball squirted loose from Ow- ens on the hand-off and Calvin Paul scooped it up and ran for a third Trojan TD. The extra point kick was no good. The Sharks had their oppor- tunity back in the second period, when a bad punt from - the Trojans put the Sharks in possession of the ball on the Trojan 23. Ronald Daniels was still able to run at this time and moved the ball to the Trojan six yard line, where on second and five, the Sharks drew a delay of game penalty and that was it. On second and ten, Sanborn was thrown for a two yard loss. On third and 13, Daniells ran for four. On the final down, Fred Claridy in- tercepted Sanborn's pass on the four yard line. If this scoring opportunity had materialized, there is a good chance the score would have ended up 7-0 in favor of the Sharks. Ronald Daniels, the Sharks spot break-away runner, wasn't accustomed to the carrying every play role he had to assume Friday night. By the middle of the third period he had gone about as . far as he could go and farther than most would be expected to go. By half time he had gained 94 yards, but in the second half he could limp for only 20 more. The stout Shark defense held Hamilton to only 93 yards gained for the game in one of their more stellar perform- ances. The stout defense was led by Marcus Manning with six tackles and three assists, Chester Fennell with five tack- les and four assists, Steve Cloud and Ray Lawrence with four and four each and Pres- ton Gant with three tackles and one assist.

The ancient Egyptians used the magic eye of Horus, God of Day, as a charm to guard them against ills and suffering. Centuries later, the eye reap- peared in a form similar to our "4" and evolved gradually into its present RX.

Traina, chairman of the U. S. Environ- mental, Protection Agency (EPA). Traina took that stand fol- lowing a public hearing last Wednesday. Public interest was sparked from 100 people from.Gulf, Wakulla, Franklin and Leon counties. Numerous objections were raised to the issuance of the permit to the M &'K Ranches 32,500-acre operation before the state purchased part of the land, on the upper Apalachi- cola River.

We feel the School Board should assume the responsibility of keeping it in good condition". School Board members Wal- lace Guillot, Kenneth Whit- field and chairman Herman Ard echoes Raffield's senti- ments and chairman Ard ask- ed Superintendent David Bid- well if the Board could legally borrow the money for the needed repairs. Bidwell said it may not be necessary to borrow. "We have some capital outlay mo- ney from the state which may be left over from the Wewa- hitchka gymnasium and Port St. Joe vocation additions." Raffield interrupted him "to say, "Let's not kid ourselves. The Wewa gym will cost around $500,000 and the voca- tional classrooms will cost around $181,000. We won't have any money left." Bidwell insisted the bids may be less than this and some money may be left. "However", he said, "In view of the fact that these repairs need to be made now, we could request permission to borrow and repay it with capital outlay money if there is any left." The Board then instructed Bidwell to contact the State Department of Education for permission to borrow money for the repairs and use capital outlay money to repay the loan. Bidwell said he .would take care of the matter the next day.I In the meantime, a commit- tee composed of School Board members Wallace Guillot and Fred Greer along with Quar- terback Club members Walter Wilder, Cliff Sanborn, Ollie Stutzman, David Stoutamire and Paul Ramsey will conduct a survey' and arrive at an estimated cost for the repairs which need to be done. Tapper Seminar At Gulf Coast The George Tapper Govern- mental Seminar, honoring George G. Tapper of Port St. Joe, will be held at Gulf Coast Community College all day, Monday, January 26. Theme for the seminar is Presidential Politics '76. De- tails for the seminar will be published at a later date. raising cattle and crops. The various agencies that advised the EPA and favored issuing the permit suggested that the permit would be a means of regulating the dis- charge. None of them agreed that the discharge was harm- less. Thomas S. Talley stated on behalf of Regional Director Kenneth E. Black of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, "Clearing and draining swamps and marshes has eliminated significant areas of valuable habitat. High vol- ume, turbid discharges from drainage pumps have caused siltation and erosion resulting in significant degration of aquatic resources in receiv- ing waters. Discharged con- taminants from agricultural operations jeopardize aquatic resources of receiving waters, and especially threaten the economically valuable popu- lations of Apalachicola Bay. We believe that issuance of the discharge permit could facilitate the conservation of the area's resources and should therefore be issued by the Environmental Protection Agency provided that the drainage of ecologically val- uable wetlands which were historically inundated on a regular basis by riverine water are excluded from the project plans and the dis- charges are carefully regu- lated to maintain acceptable levels of suspended solids, coliform bacteria, nutrient loads, pesticides and flow volumes. The service believes that, inr addition to issuance of the permit, all Federal and State agencies should make a re- newed concerted effort to re- solve remaining legal ques- tions where valuable wetlands may be involved. Jerry Gerde, a Panama City attorney, personally speaking and representing Bay County Save Our Shores, stated his objection to the issuance of the permit. To grant this permit would reward misconduct. "In short, to grant this application would be an invitation to every developer and every land speculator to dike and drain the wetlands of America until caught, and then to apply to E.P.A. for a permit."

INSURANCE The City's insurance prem- iums keep going up with each premium billing. In order to save on insur- ance premiums, the Commis- sion decided Tuesday night to employ an independent insur- ance man who would not bid on the City's business, to survey the needs for adequate coverage and draw up a specific coverage bid so bids could be received on specific items. The Commission also plans to utilize larger deductibles in their premiums to reduce premiums and also consider areas in which it can be self insured, rather than pay premiums for low-risk cover- age. PAVING PLANS The City has money avail- able from federal funds to pave streets in the Millville Addition, Unit 3, in North,Port St. Joe. There is a need for considerable preparation be- fore the paving can be done. At the suggestion of Clerk Brock, the Commission agreed to use all City trucks on a crash program to fill in .where necessary on the streets to be paved. The program will be carried on a one day a week basis until the necessary fill is hauled in.

Duck season will re-open at noon, ,Wednesday, December 17. The third and final phase of dove season will commence at noon Saturday, Dec. 20. Major T. L. Garrison, Re- gional Manager for the Com- mission cautioned sportsmen to be careful of the legal shooting hours. "For exam- ple," he said, "normal duck shooting hours are from one- half hour before sunrise to sunset. In dove shooting, the legal shooting hours are from noon to sunset daily. The dove season will be open until it closes statewide at sunset on January 12. Duck and coot season will close at sunset on Jan. 20. Daily harvest limits of dove are 12 with a possession limit of 24 birds. The possession limit of ducks and mergansers is two legal daily bag limits, except that the daily and pos- session limit of canvasback and redhead is one. Coots have no assigned point value but have a daily limit of 15 and a possession limit of 30. Garrison pointed out that for the first time in some years, sportsmen may harvest red- head and canvasback ducks. These are limited to specific areas, however. The, two species may be taken along the Gulf Coast and in those bays and rivermouths sea- ward of Highway 98 bridges.

THURSDAY, DEC. 18, 1975 PAGE NINE Proper Care A Can Make Christmas Plants A Thing of Beauty for Months In Future By: Dr. Robert Black Ext. Urban Horticulturist Christmas is just a few days away and this is the time for giving and receiving flowering potted plants. A bright, color- ful azalea, Christmas begonia, chrysanthemum or. a gaily decorated poinsettia, cycla- men or Christmas pepper added to the other decorations in the home give the holiday season a festive air. These Christmps plants can 'be enjoyed not only during the holidays but will remain at- tractive far into January and even February if properly cared for. Care of Christmas plants, whether a colorful cy- clamen, a long-lasting kalan- choe or a cheerful Christmas begonia, is easy. Faithful at- tention will add days and even weeks of life to any of these popular Christmas plants. Temperature has an impor- tant influence on the length of time a flowering house plant will remain attractive. The Girl Scout Troop 247 of Port St. Joe spent the past weekend camping at "A Camp for All Seasons", area camp for the Apalachee Bend-. The girls participated in numerous activities and learned to pitch tents, make pot hangers, and learned many new songs, games and dances. They went on several CYPRESS GARDENS-Pretty Cypress Gardens Southern belle Kathy Crowell enjoys the beautiful azaleas. These magnificent flowers are just coming into bloom at Cypress Gardens and will be injfull glory during the next two months.

The Scouts extend their thanks to all the parents who furnished transportation. hikes and participated in a scavenger hunt. All of the young Scouts were amazed at the beauty of the camp, in a woodland setting. Participating in the camp- ing expedition were: Sonja Levins,. Monica Bergeron, Staci Angerer, Sherry Cooley, Trish Tapper, Vicki Barlow, Sonia Boswell, Tina Sisk, DEFEAT AT QUEBEC December 1775: A Bitter Loss In one of the first disastrous defeats suffered by the newly formed colonists' forces, the combined strategies of Gen. Montgomery and Col. Benedict Arnold failed to subdue the British at Quebec. A harsh winter and the ultimate death of Gen. Montgomery in battle, forced the retreat of the remaining American forces. Out of this defeat, Canada remained in British control for the duration of the war. This Bicentennial Message Sponsored by St. Joseph Tel. & Tel. Co. poinsettia is especially sensi- tive to chilling, and a pro- longed chill will cause it to lose its leaves. The plant should be placed in the coolest part of the room, but not in a cold draft. This means away from radiators and other sources of heat. A temper- ature of 65 degrees at night is satisfactory but 60 degrees is still better for most of the flowering potted plants. In fact, cyclamen like a 50- degree night temperature. The method of watering many times determines the life of a plant. Many people drown their plants by water- ing at regular intervals, not considering whether the plant needs it. Plant roots need air as well as water, and exces- sive amounts of water do not allow a place for air in the soil. Overwatering literally smothers the plant roots. Pro- per watering calls for a little thoughtfulness and often the exercise of restraint. Water should be applied in sufficient quantities to thoroughly soak the soil in the pot and no more given until the soil approaches dryness again. Plants should be checked for dryness daily but not watered if the soil is still moist. Remember that most holi- day plants have been out of a greenhouse a short period. The difference between a greenhouse environment and a typical indoor room is usually considerable. In the home provide as much natural light as possible. A dark bed- room, hall, entrance foyer on living room does not have op- timum growing conditions. Place your plants where they receive the morning sun. Poor light will cause leaf drop. Although the humidity in a house is not easily altered, plants will do best in an area of the house where the humid- ity is the greatest. This is usually in the cooking area. It often helps if plants are set on pebble-filled saucers with water maintained at a level just below the base of the pot so that it does not touch the water. By giving your Christmas pot plants the best environ- mental conditions of proper temperature, adequate water, and good light, they will fur- nish an attractive display for a longer time.

LEWIS Comptroller of Florida In recent weeks we've had a growing number of com- plaints and inquiries about companies offering to assist people in laying claim to abandoned bank accounts. This particular scheme is designed to extract from $15 to $19 from an individual as a "process and research fee." The money is requested in a mailed solicitation, hinting that you may be the legal heir to an abandoned bank account, simply because you have the same last name as the one on the account. A typical letter begins like this: "We are very pleased to inform you that our research into State records has re- vealed that a sum of money pertaining to an unclaimed bank account.." After capturing the indi- vidual's attention, the letter continues: "The depositor co record bears the same ge- neric surname as yours (Smith, Jones, etc.). By vir- tue of this, you may be the owner or legal heir to this unclaimed money." The letters stress that it is COMPLETE Machine Shop Now Operating In Port St. Joe Machine Repairs Fabricating Welding All Types EMORY STEPHENS ST. JOE Machine Company 506 First St. Phone 229-6803 urgent that you respond im- mediately, and enclose the specified amount of money, so that research on your case can begin at once. Don't fall for it. In the first place, these companies make their money primarily by collect- ing the relatively nominal "research fees" from as many people as possible, not by finding heirs Information on abandoned bank accounts is a matter of public record in our office, and if you have reason to be- lieve that you might be a rightful heir to any such ac- count, let us know and we'll check it out. (AFNS) units, one representing each branch of service, will present the theme "The History of the American Armed Forces and Their Contributions to the Nation." It is not a recruiting effort. The Army, Navy and Marine Corps vans are walk- through displays while the Air Force van is a mini-theater. The Army van will cover that service's wartime role; contributions during periods of military government; com- munity assistance; science, medicine and technology; ex- ploration; and current achievements. Display techni- ques used in this van include a short filmstrip, backlit trans- parencies, a multi-media slide show and an electronic ques- tion and answer board. Exhibits in the Marine Corps van will depict the "Heritage of the Corps" in five sections: Revolutionary War, the Century of 1798 to 1898, the Marine Corps Band, the Twentieth Century and Marines today. Utilized in the display are short movies, paintings and models of Marine Corps aircraft. The Navy exhibit will por- tray that service's role in America's first 200 years with emphasis on the Navy's con- tributions to knowledge and Navy-developed products and processes which have im- proved the life of the average American. Included in the dis- play are: a short-wave radio tuned to the time signal trans- mitted from Fort Collins, Col- orado (approximately 1-1000th of a second accurate), an operational radar system and a display demonstrating the principles of sonar. The Air Force, though only 28 years old, has been an es- sential factor in military his- tory. In its mini-theater, 15 slide projectors, five screens anda stereo sound-system are used to present a 17-minute, multi-media program. Over 700 slides will be shown. These unique exhibits are expansible from eight to 14 feet wide to provide additional exhibit space. Employing the most modern audio-visual techniques, the automated ex- hibitry makes the displays en- tertaining as well as educa- tional. For this project, the nation has been divided into four sections, roughly resembling the time zones. Within each of these areas, identical cara- vans will be on tour from July 4, 1975 through December 1976. This Bicentennial tribute is a major, part of the Depart- ment of Defense's participa- tion in the celebration of the nation's 200th birthday. God wants you to celebrate America's bicentennial... by helping others. Practice what you pray.
