Commission Moves to "Improve Services"


Defense,Veterans Offices Combined
Chaire s maMoewocsa'ny


Just as they promised back in
December, the County Commission gave
a decision on whether or not to combine
their Civil Defense and Veterans' Service
offices. at their meeting Tuesday mor-
ning. The decision, on a split decision,
was to combine the offices under a
full-time director, in spite of the lengthy
verbal opposition of about a half dozen
people in the audience.
In the December 9 meeting, Commis-
sioner Otis Davis, Jr., suggested that the
Board consider employment of one man
and one secretary full time to take care
of the duties of both offices and offer a
full-time service. In the past, the County
has staffed both offices with a full time
secretary and operated with part-time
directors..
Davis made the motion Tuesday to


go to the full-time operation with one
man in charge of both operations.
Everett Owens, Jr., seconded the motion
and on a vote, Commissioners Davis,
Owens and T. D. Whitfield voted in favor.
Commissioner Silas Player and Chari-
man Eldridge Money voted against.

But in between the making of the
motion and the vote, there was about an
hour of at times heated controversy over
whether the countyshould do this thing
or not. Chief spokesmen for the opposi-
tion were former County Commissioner
Leo Kennedy, William Hall and Earl
Burrows. Kennedy and Burrows seemed
to be concerned that the county was
eroding the Veterans' Service Office
service and Hall was concerned that the
Civil Defense department would fade
away into nothing and would penalize the


County in federal matching funds. Ken-
nedy seemed to fear loss of federal funds
also and exclaimed at one point that the'
County would lose $50,000 in matching
money.
Both Davis and Owens tried to ex-
plain that the county was hot doing away
with any service, but was in fact, improv-
ing it by giving full time counseling for
veterans with problems and also for Civil
Defense purposes. Owens explained,
"We will lose only $7,000 in matching
money we receive to pay part of the
.salaries of the director and secretary".
He went on to explain that the proposed
move would save about as many Gulf
County tax dollars as the county would
lose in matching money.
One citizen in the audience, Myrus
Boring of Wewahitchka said he felt


veterans would be better served with the
change. "I am a veteran", he explained.
"I have just-retired and moved to
Wewahitchka and have found it next to
impossible to see the Veterans Service
officer at my convenience. If he were in
the Courthouse at regular business
hours, I feel I and others could have our
needs met better".
Present Civil Defense Richard Lan-
caster then got into the conversation and
asked what "the real reason was" for
this maneuver. "If you shut down the
Civil Defense office completely, .you
would save only $7,316.00 in ad valorem
taxes", Lancaster said. "If this is a
personal thing, I'd die before I would
quit. If you're unhappy with my service,
I'll be glad to step aside".
Commissioner Owens then assured
Lancaster the Commission was perfectly


satisfied with Lancaster's service but felt
the County could be better served, more
economically under the new plan.- "It's
merely a matter of better service as well
as the secondary plus of saving a few
dollars", Owens stated.
Davis said it was his thoughts the
County could hire a full-time man for
what is presently being paid the two
part-time men, along with a full-time
secretary would, give the people better
service at less cost. "Service is the
thing", Davis said.
Herbert Burge asked what prompted
the suggestion in the first place and
asked if the Commission shouldn't give
the matter some more consideration
before making their move. "If an
examination shows it's the best thing to
do, then do it. If not, then we should keep
the two men we have".


Chairman Money, who cast a 'nay'
vote, said, "I didn't look into the situation
because I didn't believe the same service
could be given at less' cost". Owens and
Davis said they had studied the matter
thoroughly, already.
After the Commission cast their
votes in favor of the change in opera-
tions, Lancaster then said, "I didn't say
this earlier because I didn't want it to
sound like a threat, but I feel your actions
will cause about half of the Civil Defense
volunteers to quit"'.
Nevertheless, the Commission ma-
jority stood by their decision and, as of
now, are looking for a man to fill the
position.
In the meantime, both Lancaster and
VA officer, Albert Thames agreed to stay
on their jobs until the new director is
* hired.


Doctor Couple Coming July 1


A husband and wife team,
both of whom are doctors will
be moving to Port St. Joe on
July 1 of this year, as the
result of efforts of the Port St.
Joe City Commission it was
learned early this week.
Dr. Parmanand Vijay Poo-
nai and his wife, Dr. Anila
Poonai will be setting up a
practice here in Port St. Joe to


fill a need for medical services
left by the departure of Dr. J.
V. Philpot who moved to Lake
City recently.
Dr. Poonai is 40 years of age
and is a physician and surgeon
with most of his training in
surgery. He received his MD
degree in Bombay, India and
studied, taught and trained in
surgery in London, England


and Edinburgh, Scotland for
nine years. He was a lecturer
in surgery and chief of sur-
gery at the University of .the
West Indies in Kingston, Ja-
maica for three years and is
*presently chief general surgi-
cal resident at St. Alexis
Hospital, in Cleveland, Ohio.
Dr. Poonai's surgical ex-
perience is extensive covering


fields in orthopedics and car-
dio-vascular as well as gener-
al surgery.
Mrs. Poonai has majored in
obstetrics and gynecology and
studied in Bombay and Lon-
don also. At present, she is
house physician in obstetrics
and gynecology at St. Alexis
Hospital in Cleveland.
The City Commission is
offering the wing in the Muni-
cipal Hospital for the Poonai's
to begin practice in. The wing
will be completely refurbished
to provide modern office facil-
ities for the new doctors.
The.Doctors Poonai were in
Port St. Joe Sunday morning,
looking over the hospital and
*meeting with members of the
City Commission prior to'
making their decision to come
here.
Dr. Poonai said he liked
what he saw and expressed his
intention to come here just as
soon as he qualifies for ac-
ceptance in the American
College of Surgeons. He is
already a member of the
Royal College of Surgeons in
Great Britian, but U.S. law
requires him to serve two
years of residency in the
United States before he can be
accepted for membership


here. The two years will be
completed in June of this year.

Death Takes J. Earl


Creel Sunday Morning


J. Earl Creel, 61, a resident
of 122 Hunter Circle, died
early Sunday morning at his
residence following a lengthy
illness. Mr. Creel was born in
Apalachicola and had resided
in Port St. Joe since 1955. He
was a retired master of Apa-
lachicola Northern Railroad
Co. and a World War II veter-
an.
Survivors include his wife,
Mrs. Erma Creel of Port St.
Joe; his mother, Mrs. Agnes
Creel of Lake City, S. C.; a
brother, George Creel of Lake
City, S.C.; two sisters, Mrs.
Ola Bazen of Pamyslice, S.C.
and Mrs. Mary' Heffron of
Charleston, S.C.
Funeral services were held
Tuesday at 2:00 p.m. at the
First Baptist Church with the


Rev. George H. Gay, pastor,
officiating, assisted by the
Rev. J. C. Odum, pastor of the
Long Avenue Baptist Church.
Interment followed in the
family plot of Magnolia Ceme-
tery of Apalachicola.
Active pallbearers were:
John Lee, Troy Parrish, Fred
Perry, W. E. Schoelles, W. H.
Scott and Troy McMillan.
Honorary pallbearers were:
Roy Gibson, Jr., B. A. Prid-
geon, Jr., Wesley Grace, S. C.

and operators of St. Joseph

as the result of a collision
between his pick-up truck and
a sedan parked beside High-
way 98. The accident occurred
near the bridge over Patton's
Bayou about 9:30 P.M., Fri-
day night.

According to Port St. Joe
Police Patrolman B. G. Light-
foot, Creamer was travelling
south on 98, when he left the
shoulder of the road on the
right side and crashed into the
.rear of the sedan, which was
parked beside the road unoc-
cupied. The sedan was owned
by James Robert Dykes of 402
Iola Street.
Creamer had to be pried
from the cab of his pick-up and
was then taken to Municipal
Hospital for treatment by Gulf
County Volunteer Ambulance.

Patrolman Lightfoot said
charges in the accident are
pending further investigation.

Damages to both vehicles
were estimated at $1,800.


Whether or not to dam the
Apalachicola River caused
some emotional rhetoric at the
County Commission meeting
Tuesday, with Calhoun County
Commissioner Gene Bailey
and George Adkins of Blounts-
town asking the Board to
stand firm in their opposition
to any more dams on the
River.
The Corps of Engineers are
now in the process of trying to
seek approval for a low-level
run-of-the-river dam just be-
low Blountstown to maintain a
nine foot shipping channel for
barge traffic.
Bailey said the people of
Calhoun County are opposed
to the dam. "We feel the dam
would be detrimental to the
environment of our county",
he said. He felt such a dam
would lower the water level in
the lower river and would
adversely affect the sports
fishing and could affect the
fresh water supply to Port St.
Joe.
Adkins likened himself to
Paul in the Bible. "Before he
was Paul he was Saul", Adkins
said. "And like Saul I did
what I thought was right years
ago when I worked actively
for the River channel, the dam
at Chattahoochee and even the
dam at the end of the Dead
Lakes. I worked diligently for
them. But like Paul, I have
come to see the error of my


ways and now will spend the
rest of my life doing pennance
by striving to see that no more
dams are placed on the Riv-
er".
Adkins said, that in his
opinion, both the dams at
Chattahoochee and on the
Dead Lakes had damaged,
rather than helped the areas,
especially for sports fishing.
He urged the Commission
study what affects further
dams would have.
The Calhoun duo could have
saved their breath, since the
Gulf County Commission gave
them assurances that they
stood strong against any more
dams on the Apalachicola
River.
Adkins said he and Bailey
had come before the Commis-
sion since it was their infor-
rnation the Tri-Rivers Author-
ity would be at Tuesday's
meeting to try and sell the
idea.
Chairman Money said the
delegation was scheduled to
be there, but had postponed
their appearance until the
January 20 meeting.
COUNTRY CLUB
The Country Club and its tax
status came to the attention of
the Commission again.
E. F. Gunn said there was a
lack of communication about
what the Country Club wanted
and deserved. "In the first
place", Gunn said, "It isn't a


country club. It's a coopera-
tive of Gulf County citizens
who are paying their share of
supporting an outdoor recrea-
tional complex and anyone
who is willing to pay their fair
share are welcome to become
members and use it."
Gunn went on to explain that
the Club was eligible for
Green Belt assessment of its
property under a state law
which provides for this as-
sessment for areas used as
outdoor recreation. "We don't
expect to be free of paying
taxes. Under the green belt
classification the acreage
values would be reduced on
the tax rolls but would still pay
some taxes. Also, the build-
ings and machinery would still
be subject to taxes.
Gunn explained the Club
was being operated more
economically than any coun-
try club but needed every'bit
of help which it could receive.
Gunn asked the Commission
to think about what he had
said, research the law and
reconsider at a future date
placing the Club property
under the green belt law.
"This will save us from $600 to
$800 a year and, although this
isn't much money, it will
mean a lot to us".
The Board agreed to recon-
sider the matter.
OTHER ACTION
In other actions, the Board:


-Heard a report from Rec-
reation Director Walter Wil-
der that his department had
provided supervised recrea-
tion to over 2,000 participants
during the past year at a cost
of $30,315.59 during the past
year. Tax money made up
$26,000 of this budget and was
contributed by the County,
School Board and the cities of
Port St. Joe and Wewahitch-
ka.
-Instructed building in-
spector E. F. Gunn to check
contractors and sub-contrac-
tors for licenses and permits.
-Tentatively accepted a'

N Have you ever watched one
of those news conferences on
television, and wished that you
Should be there to ask the ques-
tion nobody else dared to ask?
Bill Norton and Philip Davis,
students at Port St. Joe High
School, will have that oppor-
tunity next week. They have,
been selected to go to Wash-
ington, D.C., joining other
high school students from all
parts of the country, to attend
the week-long Class One of A
Presidential Classroom for
Young Americans.
Bill and Philip will attend
classes Jan. 17 through 24 in
Washington. Bill is the son of
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Norton
of Port-St. Joe, and Philip isg
the son of Mr. and Mrs. Olin
Davis of Mexico Beach.
Since its inception in 1968,

BIM Norton
hosted over 11,000 students in
the nation's capital. The
Classroom program is design-
ed to promote a greater under-
standing of the Federal


government through personal
contact with its institutions
and leaders. Students live in a
Washington-area hotel, and
attend seminars and discus%
sion groups led by key Wash-
ington officials. Past speakers
have included Senators, Con-
gressmen, Supreme Court
Justices, Cabinet Secretaries,
members of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, White House staff mem-
bers, foreign ambassadors,
members of the news media,
and representatives from
many different Federal agen-
cies.
Bill and Philip will have the
opportunity to study all three
branches of the Federal gov-
ernment, in depth, and to gain
an increased understanding of
the issues and personalities
which directly influence the
conduct of political affairs on


Philfp Davis
the national level.
But, says Presidential
Classroom Executive Director
Angie Whitaker, that's not all:
"The meetings with promi-


nent people in the Washington
community are only part of
the Classroom experience. Ac-
cording to the students them-
selves, equally important is
the opportunity to exchange
ideas and points of view with
their peers form distant areas
of the country."

Ms. Whitaker also stresses
that a student's participation
will often involve not only the
student and his school, but the
entire community as well.
Upon their return home, many
students are asked to be guest
speakers before local com-
munity organizations, and
share their Washington exper-
ience with others. A signifi-
cant percentage of Classroom
students are sponsored by
local citizens' groups, such as
the Rotary Club, Lions, Ki-
wanis and Civitan.

Deserved A Veto


We think President Gerald Ford
did the proper thing when he vetoed
the bill which would have expanded
'Oicketing rights for construction
unions. The President said the bill
" ould create "greater, not lesser
conflicts in the construction indus-
try".
The bill would allow for shutting
down an entire job due to what could
be a minor dispute between a
sub-contractor and his employees,
who might number only one of a
force of thousands working on a
project.
Admittedly we haven't examin-
ed this portion of the bill closely but
we feel the bill could adversely
affect us here in Port St. Joe, too,
with our unionized industries.
There has hardly been a time in
the past 10 to 15 years when some
firm or other hasn't been working at
either St. Joe Paper, Sylvachem or


Basic. In most instances they are
union. And just as sure'as the sun
comes up in the'6"morning, the
contractors, performing repairs or
installing work at one or the other
industries, will suffer a strike before
their job is over. It's conceivable,
under the bill vetoed by Ford, that
any of these three local industries
could be shut dowh by a strike from
construction laborers. '
Many gave Ford some verbal
action for his signing the veto but,
according to the news accounts of
the action, Mr. Ford had great input
from the everyday citizen to oppose
the bill. If we can believe what we
say, such attention to the average
citizen and his wishes is what we
have been callingdor on the part of
our government for many years
now.
Striking is the leverage of labor,
but putting people out of work not
involved in a dispute is unnecessary.


Dwindling British Treasury


Sparked American Revolution


Ironically, it was money
problems in Great Britain
which led to the American
solutionn in 1776, Charles
Slith, local historian, told the
Rotary Club last Thursday.
= Back in the late 1760's and
iarly 1770's, England was just
getting over the Seven Years'
w*Ar on the continent and
England was broke. The na-
tion tried to recoup parts of its
.finances with oppressive taxes
. : their colonies here in
Aierica.
oN with excessive taxes
levied against molasses, tea,
navigation and most all im-
ports as well as a ruling
handed down that the colonies
:2lJd not import goods from
'ifny nation except England,


the Revolutionary War
seeds were sown.
Also, money problems caus-
ed King George to cut his
armed forces in the colonies
down to only 6,000 men, in an
effort to save money at home.
These oppressive taxes
along with the Boston Massa-
.cre in which English soldiers
killed rioting colonists who
were protesting the excessive
taxes and the war was on its
way.
Smith said George Washing-
ton was chosen to lead the
colonial army because he was
an experienced military man,
he was rich and he was a
moderate. The colonial lead-
ers felt the selection of Wash-
ington would attract more


colonists to the cause since
they would have a leader who
was not a hot-head. Many of
the colonists were still loyal to
the King, despite the oppres-
sive taxes.
Of the 2.5 million people who
lived in the colonies at the
beginning:of the revolution, at
least 40 percent were c insid-
ered still loyal to the Crown, 25
percent were lukewarm to the
idea of a'revolution and the
remainder were staunch sup-
porters of succeeding from the
King..
"It wasn't much to start a
revolution with", Smith ob-
served.
Guests of the club were
Wheelettes Pam Smith and
Sandra Varnum and Bill Gib-
son of Huntsville, Ala.


Most pioneers had a deep
sense of humor and could find
laughter in simple things. A
grown man being chased up a
low-limbed persimmon tree
by a small but fast biting dog,


I don't know what I'm going to do with my
wife.
For a little over seven years, now, Frenchie
has been a grandmother. It hasn't affected her
very much, noticeably. About the only change I
have discerned is that when we go somewhere
we have to look for something to bring back to
the grandchildren. Too, on occasion, we have the
little darlings cast on our doorstep by their
parents, after which they run like mad to get
away before we see them. In this manner, we
become grandchildren sitters.
But back to Frenchie.
She has borne up under the burden of being a

seemed to know what made a
mule balk, nor a sure method
of getting a balky mule in
motion again.
One of the most stubborn
balking mule incidents occur-
red when a man from the river
area came driving into town
with a small Georgia mule
hitched to a new green and red
wagon.
The man was going to do a
little grocery shopping after
hitching his mule. Also, he
would go by the courthouse to
pay poll tax, then stop by the
dirt-floored pool hall for a
game of eight-ball. He said
that he was not looking for our
one-armed distributor of pint-
bottled moonshine from a corn
sack, as he had his own dis-
tillation layout within the
river swamp.
The stores were built around
the railroad depot and the
hitching post was behind the
depot, so the mules would not
see the steam escaping from
the train engines. The sight
would excite some mules into
a runaway and, when located
by the owner, about all that
was left of the once proud
transportation was a harness
stripped mule and a wagon
busted down to the axle hubs.
Before reaching the hitching
post the Georgia mule balked.
Coaxing and force would not
budge the animal. Finally, a
fire was built under the mule,
the mule moved two steps and
balked again, causing the
wagon to catch fire.
Sad was the wagon loss, but
laughable was the mule out-
witting his tormentors and re-
maining a balked mule.
It seems to take so little for
a laugh. Yet it seems one
cannot laugh against his or
her will to laugh.
The will to laugh could be
one of the most invisible and
refreshing of human attri:
butes.


Occasionally, she'll jerk up and watch or read
for another minute or so, then, it's back to sleep
again. It gets right comical. Occasionally she
will wake up and look at me and ask; "What did
you say?" "I didn't say anything", I answer, "I
was just sitting here watching you sleep." "I
wasn't asleep", she counters, "You said some-
thing and I didn't hear it".
Even this wasn't too bad. It gets right
entertaining, at times, figuring just how far she
will lean over in the chair before she wakes up.
The thing that bothers me is, the other night
she stirred in her chair and said, "Plug up my
heating pad for me".
That begins to sound to me like she is
wearing out. What do I do, buy her some Geritol
or trade her in on a new one?

A dress designer out in California by the
name of "Mr. Blackwell" has come out with his
annual list of the 10 worst dressed women of the
year this past week. According to "Mr.
Blackwell", Caroline Kennedy, the daughter of
the late President, has gained the number one
spot onfhis parade oMtoe worst dressed.Caroline,
.he says, looks like a shaggy dogin panis
"Mr. Blackwell" adds Nancy Kissinger and
Britain's Princess Anne to his list.
But get this at the tail end of his list of
"worst dressed women" is the entertainer (to
use the word loosely) Elton John! I always
thought old Elton was a man, though you can
hardly tell from seeing him on television.
Let me know something: is Elton John really
a woman or is "Mr. Blackwell" using poetic
license in his list of the worst dressed?

I read in the papers the other day where the
president (a lady) of a nudist society out in
Oregon is allergic to the sun. She can't
participate in the nudist version of fraternization
because the sun makes her sick.
And you thought you had troubles!'
I guess the only thing worse than a nudist
who can't nude in the sun is a non-nudist who
found out later that he (or she) had an audience
when they sneaked an all-together sun bath in
secret.
I can't see what makes a person become a
nudist in the first place. Personally, I'm going to
keep right on keeping my clothes on to cover up
all my attributes or short-comings. That way,
those around me will never know just what
mysteries they are missing. And, I'm sure not
going to show!

I got my annual Christmas letter from my
little niece, Brigid Francour, up in St. Paul,
Minnesota last week. She was telling me about
the 12 degree below temperature in St. Paul. I
couldn't feel too sorry for her, though, since the
letter arrived on the day we had temperatures
only 30 degrees warmer here in Florida. And the
next day, there was ice everywhere there was a
water puddle from the rains the day before.

So far, I like what I see of the Bicentennial
Year. People everywhere are high on America;
and that's good!
Television, radio and newspapers.are all full
of good things about our nation and seem
actually proud of our heritage.
That's a refreshing change after a steady
diet of what's wrong with our nation and it's
system. True, it isn't perfect. In our opinion it is
so far above what is next that what is next isn't.;
even in the running.
We'll take America above everything else in
spite of the CIA, the national debt, the FBI,
Eldridge Cleaver, George McGovern and Jane
Fonda. America with these is so much better
than Russia, even if they had Nureyev back, or
China if Chou En Lai was still alive.
What gives us a thrill about the Bicentennial
is that Americans are now talking more about
America than Texans do Texas and that's
quite an accomplishment.

Beach

Church
"Survival", a new color
film, will be shown at the
Mexico Beach First Methodist
Church on Sunday, January 25
at six p.m., CST.
"Survival" has been pro-
duced and is being released by
Mark IV Pictures, Inc., of Des
Moines, Iowa. This company
specializes in making feature-
length Christian films. Their
two previous productions are
"Blood on the Mountain"' and
"A Thief in the Night."
Their third picture, "Sur-
vival", was filmed in the Coco-
nino National Forest in Ari,
zona. It is the story of two
menacing situations which en-
gulf the Ryan family. Their
small aircraft makes an emer-
gency landing in the high
desert country. Physical sur-
vival becomes their primary
concern:
In an effort to get hedp, 12-
year old Mike Ryan takes his
"survival manual" and sets
out alone across the beautiful,
but potentially dangerous,
Arizona countryside. The
perils of the desert-hunger,
heat, rattlesnakes-oppose his
efforts and threaten his life.
Everyone involved in this
life-changing, desert saga has
the same goal. .. survival!

both to the hospital during
Jack's stay there and to our
home at the time of his death;

housekeeping departments of
the Municipal Hospital and to
the nurses and orderlies for
their extra acts of kindness
that made Jack's long stay
there as comfortable as possi-


ble.
A special thanks to Slim

Harper, James Horton and
Roy Harper who stayed with
him during the last nights; to
the choir of the White City

hospital. These people will
always be a part of our
memories of him.
May God bless each one
of you in His special way. -

By Dr. Robert Black
Ext. Urban Horticulturist
One hundred and four years
ago, in Nebraska, Arbor Day
had its beginning. On January
4, 1872, J. Sterling Morton, a
member of the State Board of
Agriculture, and later Gover-
nor, introduced and secured
the adoption of the following
resolution:. .. "that Wednes-
day, the tenth day of April,
:1872, be especially set apart
and consecrated to tree plant-
ing in the state of Nebraska
and the State Board of Agri-
.culture hereby name it 'Arbor
'Day' "
Statewide publicity was
iven the occasion, and more
han a million trees were
planted on the first Arbor Day.
Thereafter, the Arbor Day
tradition spread until approxi-
mately two-thirds of the states
have passed laws or resolu-
tions providing for the obser-
_vance of Arbor Day. The citi-
zens of Florida had their first
Arbor Day celebration in 1886.
In 1945, the Florida Legisla-
ture adopted the third Friday
-in January as Florida's offi-
cial Arbor Day. On January
16, why don't you join the 90th
Arbor Day celebration by
planting a tree.
Trees, not buildings, are the
best measure of a civilized
landscape. A sense of time,
history and continuity are
demonstrated in a community
in which trees survive and
more are regularly planted.
Those sections of our com-
munities where old trees do
survive-the better residen-
tial districts, parks and cam-
puses-are the pride of our
towns and cities. These are the
areas we quickly point out to
visitors and tourists: Cities
that are rich in trees have a
character all their own of
which the citizens may be
justly proud.
Most structures can become
visually acceptable in the
landscape with the proper use
of trees to frame and balance
them. It is rare to. find a
structure that is self-sufficient
without the proper use of
natural vegetation. An envi-
.ronment that is good for trees
may also be said to be good for
people.
In addition to these esthetic
reasons for having trees there
are also some very practical
ones. Trees may be referred to
as nature's air conditioners.
They moderate the climate by
protecting areas from ex-
tremes of wind, heat, cold,
glare and drought.
Trees also purify the air.
While humans and animals
consume oxygen and emit car-
bon dioxide, growing trees
:convert carbon dioxide into
food and give off oxygen.
Trees also cool and humid-
:ify the air through trans-
piration, the .process of re-
leasing moisture through
leaves and needles into sur-
rounding air. On a hot day a
young tree can transpire sev-
eral tons of water. That eva-
poration can produce the
same cooling effect as 10 air
conditioners running 20 hours,


causing the air to be as much plant good trees is to increase
as 20 degrees cooler under the the value and sales appeal of
trees. our homes.

Mini-Bike


.Riders

The Florida Highway Patrol,
this week reminded parents
and riders of Christmas mini-
bikes and go-carts that these
vehicles are regulated the
same as any other motor
vehicle.
Colonel Eldrige Beach, dir-
ector of the Patrol urged
parents to, "Impress upon
young mini-bike and go-cart
operators of the dangers of
improper maneuvers, such as
turning without signalling,
-driving without lights or fail-
ing to stop for stop signs."
Operators of any motor
driven vehicle must be at least
15 years of age and have a
license. Until. the operator
becomes 16 years of age, he
will have a restricted license
requiring daylight operation
and he may not ride a motor
driven bike rated more than
five brake horsepower.
In order to operate on public
roadways, these vehicles must'
be equipped with headlights, a
tail light, tag light, stop light,
horn, rear view mirror and
adequate brakes. As with all
other motor vehicles, they
must have a current motor
vehicle inspection sticker and
license tag.

By Joe St. Clair
There is an *old proverb
that has been in existence
for centuries. It goes this
way-"For a swift arrow
pull hard on the string."
Actually there is no other
way to shoot a swift
arrow.
There are few things of
real importance in life
that are not accomplished
without the "hard pull."
The geologist will tell
you that it takes a million
years to make a ruby.
Imagine-a million years
this beautiful gem is in
the formative stage.
If a ruby could be made
overnight it would have
little value. So it is true
with most everything we
do. The real and sincere
efforts of people are most
always recognized. The
"hard pull" of accom-
plishments is what makes
them important!
OUR THOUGHT TO
REMEMBER: Our great-
est rewards come from
the difficult tasks we ac-
complish.
