Mr. Harrell was a native of Cairo, Ga., and had lived in this area since 1943. He was an employee of the City of Port St. Joe. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Hazel Harrell of Port St. Joe, a daughter, Mrs. Sue Peacock of Panama City; two sons, Johnny Mack and Terry, both of Port St. Joe; a son-in- law, Stony Peacock of Pan- ama City; a sister, Mrs. Emely Yon of Scotts Ferry and a brother, J.

The exhibits will be made more entertaining as well as educational and patriotic, us- ing slides, film strips, exhibits backlit transparencies and an electronic question and an- swer board. The vans will portray the history of each branch of the service during the nation's history. 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. The St. Joseph Historical Society will have a booth set up in the vicinity, with several publications on sale which tell the story of the history of .this area. Port St. Joe had a total of 82 inches of rainfall during 1975, according to Bill Simmons our "offi- cial" unofficial weather man at the St. Joe Paper Company. According to Simmons' figures, rainfall average *per day during 1975 was slightly over .22 inches per day. That's a pretty good shower for every day of the year. Over the past 10 years, Simmons' records show the average rainfall to be 58.2 inches per year. According to these fig- ures, Port St. Joe receiv- ed a full measure. of rainfall and borrowed a half year from some other year in 1975. It was a wet year which brought the water table back up to -mormal and, drowned everything above the ground in the process. Actions by the City Commis- sion at its regular meeting Tuesday-night, made the City of Port St. Joe larger. The boundaries of the City remain the same, but bids accepted by the City will place water and sewer on 11 streets, opening them for building. The bid for the project went to Utilities Construction Com- pany of Orlando for a total of $109,389.30. The project will be financed by revenue certifi- cates levied against the pro- perty to be served by the utilities plus a portion of the City's federal revenue sharing funds. The liens against the property pays for most of the project. Installation of the water and sewer services is scheduled to get underway within two weeks. When the construction is completed, Cypress and Juni- per Streets will be opened between 20th and 22nd Streets and 22nd Street from Juniper to Long in St. Joseph's Addi- tion. In North Port St. Joe, the program will open Bay, Har- bor, Royal, Clifford Sims Streets and Avenue A from Royal Street to North Garri- son Avenue in Millview Addi- tion, Unit 3. WANTS HARBOR IMPROVEMENTS Dave Maddox, local bar pilot, appeared before the Commission requesting the City's support in securing improved navigational aids in St. Joseph Bay. Maddox said the range lights in the bay are not visible to boaters for 330 degrees. "These range lights are on permanent structures in the bay which boaters could run into in the dark", he said. Maddox asked the City to request the United States Coast Guard to install "pas- sing lights" on the range lights so boaters could be aware of the structures and avoid them. "The Coast Guard has al'- ready been requested to in- stall the lights", Maddox said, "but, so far, we have heard nothing from them", he sta- ted. The Commission agreed to support the project and make a formal request to the Coast Guard to install the safety feature. ORDINANCE The Commission adopted an ordinance affecting the me- thod of payment of water bills at its session Tuesday. Effec- tive with the bills to be received on March 1, water and sewer customers will havq 10 days to pay bills before they become delin- quent. A $1.00 delinquent charge will be assessed after the 10th -and service- discon- tinued, if not paid by the 20th. There will be a $5.00 charge to turn the service back on once it has been discontinued. The new ordinance was introduced and passed at the request of Water Commis- sioner, James B. Roberts. "The new" ordinance is al- ready having its effect on the way bills are paid even though it doesn't officially go into effect until March 1", Roberts said. FIRE DEPARTMENT REQUESTS Fire Chief Bascom Hamm made a request of the City Commission that the Depart- ment be provided with an emergency radio in the fire truck, tuned to the City Police frequency. "There are many times when such communica- tions would be a big help", Hamm said. Mayor Pate asked Clerk Charles Brock to check and see if the Fire Department could get into the police net before any decision was made about purchasing a radio. The Police Department is tied into the state-wide Sheriff's net- work, even though they oper- ate on a separate frequency. The Commission also ap- proved the purchase of new coats, 100 feet of wash-up hose and a set of bolt cutters for the Fire Department. OTHER ACTION Other actions by the Board -Approved a bid of $1,774 made by Carter & Verplanck of Tampa to furnish a new water heater for Municipal Hospital. -Approved payment of an invoice for $1,684.03 to the Northwest Florida Planning and Advisory Council for their work in securing a $240,000 government Block Grant. -Agreed to advertise for bids for a water well to be dug at the Old St. Joseph Ceme- tery. The St. Joseph HistoricaL Society is to pay for half of the costs involved. -Applied for a matchiig grant to purchase equipment for the Police Department. Four Male Juveniles Are Arrested for River Thefts Four male juveniles were arrested last Saturday by the Gulf County Sheriff's Depart- ment and charged with burg- lary. The four are alleged to have broken into five camps in the Brothers River area and taken over $200.00 worth of camp equipment and food. They had set up a camp of their own using some of the stolen goods. Sheriff Raymond Lawrence and deputies investigating;the break-ins found the four sub- jects in camp with some of the stolen items in their posses- sion. All of the juveniles were turned over to the Division of Youth Services. Four New Directors Chosen by Chamber of Commerce- The Port St. Joe-Gulf Coun- ty Chamber of Commerce recently elected four new - directors. Elected to serve three year terms were John L.

New Hampshire-ites Balk at Conservatism It's ironic that the very qualities which make Ronald Reagan attrac- 'tive to the conservatives are now ;making him unattractive to the voters of New Hampshire, a state 'where he has been reported to be -very strong. c Reagan is proposing a $90 billion cut in the national budget by shifting :some of the responsibilities now -being paid for by the national government over to the state gov- ernment for financing. Reagan *-would make each state responsible .for financing its own welfare, food stamps, social services, education, -health, etc., and leave the federal .,treasury free of this responsibility. The people of New Hampshire, :'who invented conservatism are con- :cerned about this turn of events since it would probably raise their taxes by some. $100 milliodi. New -lHampshire at present does not have ,either a withholding or sales tax. It is also ironic that the financ- ing of these programs by the federal ,government is what got our nation into its present financial condition. The states refused to take the responsibility of financing these programs as being too expensive, so the federal goVernment took them on and drew up the regulations as to how they would function. These regulations have, made us more rebellious as a people toward our government than has the exhorbi- tant cost. What Reagan and other conser- vatives say sounds good. When you start applying the points of pressure to bring the relief everyone knows we need and the pressure strikes old number one, the mood changes. We believe some of these re- sponsibilities belong to the state and if they are shifted, we know they will affect us personally. We are still in favor of the move. .Reagah knows, and we know,' that when the bill is paid for out of our pocket first hand, we will decide we don't need near as much as we thought we -did. The state cannot provide the services on credit. Another year has passed and still little to nothing has been done to improve our capability toward offer- ing a port facility here in Port St. Joe to utilize our natural harbor. In making our search of last year's files of the happenings of last year, we came across a statement by Mayor Frank Pate that he wished 'to see the Port Authority begin to take steps toward planning a port facility for Port St. Joe. Mayor Pate stated a developed port here would provide a number of jobs for local people and be equivalent to a major .industry moving in. We concur with the Mayor's statements and point to the cities along the Gulf coast which grew from having an active and operating "port. There's Mobile, Pensacola, New Orleans, Biloxi, Galveston and others. All started by serving water "traffic with not as much to begin :-with as we have here. Increasing transportation costs -and increasing demand for the :movement of goods can do nothing .but enhance the shipment of goods By water. They have to be unloaded .and loaded somewhere. Why can't it "be here? -. Our Port Authority has no :authority to create such a port. All ithe blame for not having something .going cannot be laid at their "Killer K" By Killer K. One time many years ago me and Jimmie Kilbourn were visiting in Apalach with our aunt Ethel and Uncle Frank Wakefield who had a big old two-story home there. After having stayed there for two =weeks we were ready to go home back to Carrabelle. Aunt doorstep. We as citizens must take the blame. We haye not demanded some changes be made where a movement could be started to bring a first class port operation into being. As we understand it, it would take either a Legislative act or an ordinance by the County Commis- sion to get things started. We hope this year doesn't slip by without some step being taken to bring a, port operation -into being here in Port St. Joe. It would benefit the entire county. No More Football The football games are over. on TV. With the passing of the bowl games on New Year Day, television can get back down to its steady diet of cops and robbers and soap operas. Television .gave the football freak a slight break this year. They had one of the bowl games on New Year's Eve (when The Bear finally won a bowl) and had only three games on New Year's day. We watched them all to the bitter end. Along with the bowl games came a New Year's resolution on our part. We vowed not to watch another football game until next season . right after the Super Bowl. ..i back! John had a.bat and a large softball which we three were playing with and Jimmie soon tired of the game and unbe- knowings to John he found a big flat rock and pounded it (the ball) flat with the bat. He then handed the ball to John. That wound up the old ball Ethel had four sons and one daughter aged from 24 to eight years. The youngest boy John was about thd same size of me and Jimmie. He was very smart and bright and a little on the sissy side As this is two tales in one I'd better get on with one or the other so as not to confuse my readers (if Guided Tours Offered Guides will be posted in each of the armed services Bicentennial display vans to visit here this week end. In this photo, Petty Officer Se- cond Class Rhonda McGee greets a visitor to the Navy van. Included in this display are a radio tuned to the time signal transmitted from Col- orado (1-1000th of a second accurate and used by navi- gators around the world) and an operational radar scanning the area around the van. Bicycle Deaths Decrease Preliminary reports for the first 11 months of 1975 indicate that bicycle deaths are down over 18 percent said the Florida Highway Patrol this week. According to Patrol records, 61 bicyclists were killed as of December 1st compared to 75 for the same period in 1974. Colonel Eldrige Beach, director of the Patrol said, "It is extremely encouraging to us that' such a reduction is being made in our state." He continued, "We hope this downward trend will continue and offered these safety tips to bike riders, especially those who have just received new bicycles for Christmas." -Bicycle riders are subject to the same traffic rules as automobiles. -Give arm signals and stop completely at stop signs. -After sundown, have a white light on the front and a red light or reflector on the rear that can be seen from a distance of 500 feet. -Use a bright pennant mounted on a pole which can be seen over'obstacles such as hedges nd other traffic Beach concluded by saying, "Bicycle accidents are largely preventable if riders follow bicycle rules." Wedon't have forests to burn ETAOIN SHRDLU By WESLEY R. RAMSEY By golly, I did have' turkey during the Christmas season, too. I bragged last week that I had slipped by without it, but my daughter, Catherine, told me I ate turkey in turkey salad out at her house Monday before Christmas. I'm sorry, Catherine, I didn't know. I'm accustomed to eating turkey salad after Christ- mas, not before. It was good, though! I see where the Congressmen are off on their year-end junkets. It seems most of the Congress- men find their "official business" trips lead them overseas. The article I read said that former presidential candidate George McGovern was off to Hanoi. That figures. Most of the lady Congressmen were going to China. I guess that includes Bella Abzug, though her name wasn't mentioned specifically. Bella and her big mouth should go over good in China and build us everlasting friendship with the Chinese if only we would promise not to let her come back. I guess it's necessary that a congressman broaden his base of knowledge ,with Athese junkets. Itseems to me-that many of then iedl to take a 'few ]junkts arourjdf ite united Sti'tes and get their knowledge broadened about the opinion of John Q. Public toward their actions in Washington. The biggest thing I don't like about the junkets is the government having to borrow the money to send them. Charlie Wall has a sure way to get rid of wasps in your carport or garage. Wasps can be a nuisance; especially in the summer time. Charlie says all you have to do is rub your hand under your armpit and then rub the same hand across the wasp nest. He -says the wasps No Return from the Long Journey By CHARLIE WEBB In old Yellow River Valley days there came through the area a walking salesman with a unique method of selling his wares. He pitched camp out- side of town and at night built a large fire. The fire caused people to rush down to see what was going on. We lived way back in the woods, but we had sense enough to know that in a fire there was something going on that would not be going on very long. On our arrival each lady was presented by a game. ITale Two). John's mother didn't seem to be too pleased with the aforementioned and decided to get even with us. She had nine cats she didn't want and put them in a heavy wooden crate and told me and Jimmie to carry it about a half mile down to the old side wheeler "Crescent City" early next morning and take them to. our families in Carrabelle. Well to shorten up a long story we missed the boat. The crate was so heavy we turned cats loose and didn't go back to the house till late that evening arid told Aunt Ethel the cats got away. She got the ,whole darn family to go and kindly old salesman her choice of a free brass sewing thimble or a pack of slope- eyed needles for easy thread- ing. Hanging from a low-limbed persimmon tree and neatly spaced around the fire were items desired by pioneers. After each sale the proud old salesman would spray the fire with a fistful of turpentine dross for a quick brightner. Draped and laced tightly around a pine tree stump was a genuine whale-bone corset. look all over. under and beyond the Tarpon wharf and we finally found four of them but didn't find the crate as we had thrown it in the river.The next morning me and Jimmie got up at dawn and shipped out and hauled it down to the "Crescent City" and got aboard about an hour before they cast off. See you later. Killer K. P.S. Next time I compose a masterpiece as good as this one I might mail to the Florida Times Union and enclose a self addressed stamped en- velope. There goes 13 cents down the drain. As ever. Killer K. and stuck in the fork of a squatty tree bush was a bolt of the prettiest red-and-blue checkered oil cloth table covering that we had ever seen. A best-seller was a collapsi- ble metal drinking cup that would compact down" almost to the size of a silver dollar. To possess a drinking cup of this type was the dream of most all river people. Another good seller was called a China-egg, which a glass imitation of a nest egg to be used in the hen house of the back yard. The white-frosted China egg was so beautiful and light to the touch that we put it beside the clock and other pretty things on the fire- place mantel. On departure for another town and another firelight sale. the old salesman was bent almost to the ground from the merchandise strap- ped to his back. We all waved goodbye and asked him to return, but deep within we knew he would never return because his burden was too heavy and his journey too long. Perhaps to one.passing by vitlh a Ihurd(fn '.e should always be soft aid kind for it seems there is no return if the" burden is heavy and the jour- ney long. will then leave. It might work for Charlie. I'm afraid to try it because I might not stink as much in my armpits as Charlie does in his. I might just make the wasps mad. I can see where the system might work with some people. Right Guard has made a pile of money off those people who can get rid of people merely by hiking their arm in the air: no need to rub their hand under the armpit and wave it in the air. The kooks have bombed New York's LaGuardia Airport and killed several innocent people in the process. With people who would do such as that in New York, who wants to save it? I'm surprised at the murderers picking on LaGuardia. I remember when the newspapers in New York were on one of their strikes and former Mayor LaGuardia read the kids the funny papers over the radio so they could keep up with what was going on. Some of those-kids may have been the parents of the bombers or even.he 'bombers themselves. : ^ ,:- MboersI. ,et.1'how brave .hey were. They set off abomb in secret, giving the victims no chance to protect themselves; then kept secret the names of those who did it. I'd say they were brave enough to pull the wings off a house fly if someone would hold him down. Now it costs 13c to buy a three cent stamp. That probably means a penny postcard now costs a dime. I don't know for sure, since I haven't bought one. It's now probably only a matter of time before a penny gumball starts' costing a nickel. I see where there was a frantic mailing just before midnight on the 30th to beat the mail increase deadline. Too, the news has been full of the problems the new rate presents for those who do the bulk of their business by mail. The mail rate increase affects everyone, unlike some price increases, and will be a major factor in increasing inflation. As if inflation needed any help from the Postal Service or anyone else. I see where it cost us $110,000 to move the Liberty Bell a hundred yards to a better resting place. According to the news I read, the move took 10 minutes to accomplish. I wish they had let us know they wanted it moved. I believe we have some people here in Port St. Joe who would have moved it for much less. Walter Duren would have been glad to send Junior King to Philadelphia to move the bell or M. L. Lindsey would have taken his truck up there and made the move for a little less than $110,000. F SEEDS FROM THE SOWER By Michael A. Guido, Metter, Georgia Last week I visited a den- tist. As I sat in his chair, he said, "Open your mouth!" To keep my mind off the pain, I thought on the Psalms. In the days of the Psalm- ist, when a king wanted to ex- tend a favor to a visitor, he would sometimes say, "Open your mouth wide." Then he would fill it full of sweets or gems. The King of kings, whose love is limitless, whose might is measureless, whose capital is countless, says in Psalm 91:10, "Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it." What an encouragement to pray! And prayer is just as natural and simple as the opening of the mouth. When our mouths are open in ear- nest and expectant prayer, the Lord fills to the full our needs. There is not a want for our health or happiness, in our bodies or souls; a want per- taining to this life or the life to come; a want for our fam- ilies or friends, our church or country, which God is not able and anxious to meet. Try God! If you "open your mouth wide," you can be sure God will "fill it" with every benefit and bless- ing you can use.

For ArAmbulance Call 227-2311 AMERICA'S HERITAGE HIGHLIGHTS OF AMERICAN HISTORY GEkIERAL STARK AT THE BATTLE OF BENNINGTON .<* / / . When a body of untrain- ed American volunteers con- quered an army of British regulars at the Battle of Bennington, new enthusi- asm and hope was sparked in the American Revolution-- ary cause. "This single victory filled all true American hearts with joy," .remarked orator Frederick J. Jennings, of ;Bennington, Vermont, al- most a hundred years later. The events leading to the .key battle began when Gen- eral John Burgoyne sent a British detachment to cap- ture the stores at Benning- ton and to disperse the Patriots collecting there. Vermont, the new-born state, was indeed gathering force along with pledges of military support from a score of New England states in the event of British at- tack. New Hampshire was the first state to answer Vermont's call by sending a militia under General John Stark. II LWO DEATMN STORE. kfiTr 222 Reid Avenue Phone 227-4261 On August 14th, 1777, General Stark's militia, rein- forced by the Vermont ,farmers, marched out to meet the enemy at Benning- ton. On the 16th, after having skillfully mapped out a strategic plan of attack, General Stark voiced his memorable "win the fight or die upon the enemy" speech... The spirited men rushed bravely into the battle grounds that day and pound- ed the entrenched British with relentless fury, seizing the smoking guns and turn- ing them upon the bewilder- ed enemy.. The Red Coats retreated. Frederick, Coffay .Yohn, an American artist known for his carefully-researched battle scenes, captures a mo- ment of the battle in one of his paintings entitled "Gen- eral Stark at the Battle of Bennington."

Tax Law Changes Make Short Form Popular Many of the state's tax- payers are receiving the Short Form 1040A this year from the Internal Revenue Service, al- though they filed the lon'.er Form 1040 in the past, Charles 0. DeWitt, IRS Director for Florida, said this week. Nearly one-half of Florida's 3.1 million individual tax- payers are receiving the short form this year. "Due to the changes brought about by the Tax Reduction Act, many more people are able to use the short form. Also, we have reviewed our records of Form 1040 filed in the past and found that many taxpayers who filed the long form could have been using the shortform." accord- ing to Mr. DeWitt. "As a re- sult". the IRS official explain- ed, "658,000 Floridians who filed the long .form last year are now receiving the short form which can be completed quicker and easier and en- ables us to process the return more rapidly." Mr. DeWitt cautioned that all taxpayers should still check to see if they can reduce their taxes by itemizing their deductions on the long Form 1040. He suggested that tax- payers read the information in the Form 1040-A tax package which provides a simple test on whether it is advantageous to itemize deductions. The IRS noted that the stan- dard deduction is now 16 per- cent, with a maximum of $2,600 for married persons filing jointly ($1,300 for mar- ried persons filing separate- ly), and $2,300 for single per- sons. When itemized deduc- tions total more than the stan- dard deductions, itemizing de- ductions on the long form will usually result in a lower tax. *1 *- * * *- 3* *( *^ * * * * * * * * *^ ,,* . *^ *( *- *^ *- * 3* *- * * * 3* *< *^ 1* *- * *- Men's Sport Coats Our Entire Selection Reg. to $59.99 $11 76 to $1376 Knit Pants Our Entire Selection Reg. to $27.99 $1776to $1976 Men's SUITS Men's JACKETS Every Suit in Stock Plenty of cool weather ahead Reg. to $120.00 Reg.to$19.99 $3976 $7976 $376 $1276 Men's . eLei-sire Shirts _ 'Unbeatable savings, by Campus-and Manhattan Valuesto $13.99 $ 76 $ 1076 Select Group Men's Shoes Latest styles'by Rand and Thorn McAn-Values to $23.99. $9.76 i^ Boy's Shoes .f Select Group Values to $18." 996.7 Reg 59c Pair Boys' Sox 2 pr. 76' Boy's Dress Boys' PANTS Sport Coats Wide Selection.

Urban Horticulturist The home gardener can make more of a contribution than he thinks to the fight against pollution. Plantings- of trees and shrubs contribute to reducing pollution around the home. When plantings are properly used as screens and ground covers, they significantly re- duce noise, pollution and air pollution since they control dust by limiting wind erosion. Plants also help purify the air by producing oxygen. Flowers, woody ornamen- tals, trees and, turfgrasses have 'been used for years to improve and beautify unat- tractive surroundings; thus reducing visual pollution. The home gardener can also make his contribution by fol- lowing these guidelines: -Don't over irrigate. Too much water floods an area and promotes run-off of soil minerals and top soil. Apply water at a rate than can be, absorbed by the soil. Watering with a garden hose is one of the poorest methods of supply- ing water to plants. The fast flowing water from a hose '? runs off quickly, carrying soil and exposing roots. Sprinklers and soaker hoses apply water at a slow rate and therefore more water is absorbed and very little soil is. lost by run off. -Don't over fertilize. A soil sampling of yard and garden soils should be a guide to how much fertilizer to add. Exces- sive applications is wasteful and usually ends up in the storm drain and adds to stream pollution. Avoid throw- ing fertilizer on walks and driveways. That's money down the drain, too. -Use mulches. Mulches of all types maintain soil mois- ture and prevent soil erosion. Mulches protect the soil from the pounding of rain droplets which loosen soil particles and promotes their loss in run-off water. Mulches also prevent crusting of soil which in- creases the absorptive capa- city of soils resulting in less soil loss in run-off water. Good mulching materials include lawn clippings, leaves, pine bark, pine needles and others. -Cover bare spots of soil. This prevents erosion by wind and water. In areas where growing grass is difficult, try growing various ground covers. Some of the more' popular ground covers are: liriope, mondo grass, ajuga and English ivy. In areas where even ground covers will not survive use some inert materials such as gravel or marble chips. -Use garden chemicals .only as directed on the label and don't add more than re- commended, even for "good measure". Excess chemicals may injure plants and cause unnecessary pollution. Do not spray pesticides on windy days. It is very likely that spray droplets will be carried to your neighbor's yard by high winds. Be extremely careful when applying herbi- cides (weed-killers) along fence rows. Many of these herbicides can be carried in surface run-off water to your neighbor's trees and shrubs. -Utilize plant residues. Grass clippings, leaves and other dead plant materials make good mulches. Compost- ed for awhile, they return nutrients to the soil and add to the overall quality of the grow- ing medium.

THURSDAY, JAN. 8, 1975 PAGE FIVE Down Those First in a series of five .articles on 1975 income taxes distributed as a public service by the Florida Institute of Certified Public Accountants. How can you hold down your income tax bill this year? The same way you can, and should, do it every year- make full use of the four basic, tools for reducing the income subject to taxes, for lowering the rate at which the tax is levied and, in some cases, for having part of the tax for- given. The four tools are ad- justments, deductions, exem- ptions and tax credits. Adjustments such as sick pay and interest paid are at- tractive because they reduce gross income, leaving adjust- ed gross income, a much smaller target, for the tax collector to aim at. Deductions-for taxes and interest paid, contributions, medical costs, etc.-are nice, too. They, and the exemptions '* we get for ourselves and our dependents, reduce adjusted gross income still further- to taxable income. Tax credits-on low in- comes, new home purchases, retirement income, political contributions, etc.-are best of all because they can be deducted, dollar for dollar, from the taxes owed. In subsequent articles, each of these four basic tax-reduc- ing devices will be taken up in some detail to help readers avoid paying a penny more in taxes than is required. In the meantime, what new tax-saving opportunities are available this year? The big changes over the 1974 tax picture are: -If you use the standard deduction instead of itemi- zing, you can now deduct 16 percent of adjusted gross in- come, with a $2,300 maximum for single persons and a $2,600 maximum for surviving spouses or couples filing joint returns. For a married person filing a separate return the maximum is $1,300. -There's also a new mini- mum standard deduction of $1,600 for single persons and $1,900 for married couples, but you don't have to compute it because it's built into the tax table. -The level of gross income below which you don't even have to file a tax return has been raised to $2,350 for single persons, $3,400 for joint filers, $2,650 for a surviving spouse and $750 if married and filing separately. -Because of efforts last summer to stimulate the lag- ging economy, all taxpayers, regardless of their tax bill, can subtract $30 from What -they owe, plus another $30 for each dependent. -Qualified low-income tax- payers with adjusted gross Pesty l income under $8,000 get a credit of 10 percent of earned income, up to a maximum credit of $400 on $4,000 of earned income. They lose the credit at the same 10 percent rate as their income rises above $4,000, so the credit is lost when income hits $8,000. If the credit exceeds taxes owed the excess is paid to the,tax- payer like a refund. To quali- fy, you must have maintained a household in this country with at least one dependent child. -If in order to hold a job you had to pay for the care of a dependent who is under 15 or A local rule has been ap- proved by circuit judges of the six-county 14th Judicial Cir- cuit clarifying an apparent ambiguity in the new Florida .Probate -Code, according to Chief Judge Robert L. Mc- Crary, Jr. of Marianna. The new code calls for all proceedings in matters of estates of persons who have died to be completed within 12 months of the date letters of Pax Payments disabled or your spouse, you may be able to claim up to $4,800 a year of such expense, if your combined incomes did not exceed $18,000. -If you bought a new home in 1975, under certain condi- tions you may be eligible for a tax credit of five percent of the purchase price, up to $2,000. -If you sold a home, you have 18 months, rather than 12, to defer any capital gain tax by reinvesting in another home costing at least as much. You have 24 months if you build a new home as the replacement. In the second article in this series, we'll take up tax ad- justments that can save money for most taxpayers.

Smokey Says: Another attempt to place the purchase of Cape San. Blas property back in top priority with the State of Florida met with failure Monday of this week. A state committee postpon- ed action on a recommenda- tion that the Gulf County property replace Big Pine Key in Monroe County at top priority in the state's endan- gered lands program. Department of Natural Re- sources staff made the recom- mendation to the state Inter- agency Advisory Committee on Endangered Lands.. The Cabinet withdrew an offer to purchase Cape San Blas for $5.1 million after a new appraisal said the proper- ty was worth only $3.8 million. The IAC had been asked to consider changing the empha- sis of the endangered lands program from wetland areas to uplands, which are attrac- tive to commercial develop- ers. The state so far has commit- ted $100 million of a $200 million bond issue to projects 1 4p, in the program. The IAC. which supervises the program says that before the rest of the money is spent, priorities may need to be shifted. Wetlands, which were "Pri- ority One" in the first half of the program, may already be protected well enough by in- creased federal, state and local regulations without Flor- ida buying them, the panel said, "Originally, the whole pro- gram was designed to protect wetlands," said Parks Direc- tor Ney Landrum. "While it still may be necessary to acquire some of the wetlands to preserve them, we may be able to protect them longer than some of the prime, developable uplands." Natural Resources Director Harmon Shields said that some Cabinet members have made it clear they want to give priority to wetlands. "But if we made it clear we have controls,, they may change," Shields said.

LEWIS Comptroller of Florida Credit is easy to obtain these days so easy, in fact, that many people take it for granted. Gone are the days when credit referred only to loans from banks, finance com- panies and credit unions for the purpose of buying a house, taking a vacation or paying medical bills. Today we charge every- thing from gasoline to tooth- paste, and from furniture to meals in restaurants. But credit costs the con- sumer money. Before signing any- credit contract or applying for a credit card, check out the details. In' 1974, Congress passed the Truth in Lending Law, which provided the con- sumer with protection by re- quiring creditors to state the full and exact credit charge. Unfortunately, however, no one can legislate good judgment, so the rest is up to you. If you are financing a purchase, shop around for credit as you would for any- thing else. Ask about the fi- nance charges and look for the lowest annual percen- .tage rate (APR). A $2,000 purchase financed for two years at an APR of 4 percent would cost you $127 in credit charges. If the APR THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY, JAN. 8, 1975 PAGE SEVEN Sister of0 | Immm Mrs. CarrollI ROWI in Died Fri. 'ws Mrs. Cora Ezella Murphy, I age 67, a resident of Kinard, I died Friday morning'following a lengthy illness. Mrs. Murphy was a |lo-,ntlr ,es~idenot ne f rIIiini oa is 30 percent, that charge would rise to $684. APR's vary considerably depending on who the lender is and how much money you have to borrow. Borrowing money from your credit union to pay for a purchase will probably cost you about 12 percent. A revolving charge account has an APR of 18 percent and a loan from a consumer finance com- pany may have an APR of from 16 percent to 30 per- cent. Using credit is a con- venient way to shop. It often allows us to purchase items we couldn't otherwise afford. But use caution and shop around, and to avoid trouble, remember: (1) Compare credit charges and look for the lowest APR. (2) Know what the credit is costing you on both the total purchase and the unpaid monthly balance. (3) Read the terms of the contract before you sign. Consumer credit is a. powerful economic force in our society. The consumer should use it with care and good judgment and learn to recognize its advantages, disadvantages and responsi- bilities. (AFNS) Crack Shots Amidst a drizzling rain, when forest fire danger was at. its lowest, the Panama Divi- sion of Forestry held its annual Division Turkey Shoot. Three of the five turkeys were won by Gulf Countians: top from left, Daniel Hanlon and Archie Marshall, both forest rangers from Overstreet and lower left, Milton Strength, ranger at Wetappo. The Division was well aware of the trio's many talents as firefighters, but little did they know of their sharpshooting abilities. Kinard.

How many people had watched a boiling kettle on a stove, with the lid being lifted by steam pressure? One day the bright-eyed Watt saw this and began thinking about a steam engine What ability did New- ton and Watt have that millions before them did not possess? Did they just use the ability they had? Little ability does not mean little opportunity. Many great services to mankind have been ren- dered by persons of little ability. No gift is synall if we make good use of it. No opportunity is insigni- ficant if we use it signifi- cantly. OUR THOUGHT TO REMEMBER: "No mat- ter how little we have, triumph follows its sin- cere use."
