JOE, FLORIDA THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1976 County Insurance Goes Up Premiums Top $100,000 A Year State grapt money continues to come in for Gulf County's volunteer ambulance service. Tuesday the, County received a check for $15,350.00 from the Division of Health to purchase a second ambulance for the Port St. Joe area. Shown presenting the check to County Commission Chairman Eldridge Money is Rep. William J. Rish. Other Commissioners present for the presentation were Silas Player, left, T. D. (Doc) Whitfield, center, and Everett Owens, Jr., right. Star Photo Additional Street Paving Promised Charles Dunn, a representa- tive of the Department of Transportation told the Guilf ""County Commission Tuesday morning that it's time to again assess their secondary road program for the future and told them he would meet with them at the area hearing in Apalachicola on March 17 to confer with them on their future plans. The County has a five year paving program laid out, but changes are made periodic- ally according to need. Dunn pointed out to the Commission that work is cur- rently underway on several projects which are nearing Post officee to Close Monday Postmaster Chauncey Cos- tin announced this week that the local post office would be closed all day Monday, Feb- ruary 16, in observance of Washington's birthday. Costin said that there would be one mail in and one mail out on that day. The regular morning receipt of mail would be boxed for post office hold- ers, and all mail deposited in the post office drop or the out- going collection box in front of the office prior to five p.m. would be dispatched to all points. Costin stated that there would be no delivery of mail on Monday to city and star routes. completion. In Port'St. Joe;,the south end of Garrison Avenue, Wescott Circle. and several- short streets in North Port St. Joe are being surfaced. In, .addi- tion, several streets in St. Joe Beach and two streets in Wewahitchka are being pav- ed. Dunn said the DOT is get- ting ready to let contracts on several other streets through- out the county. First on the list for next August letting is Niles Road, in the Port St. Joe area, fiom Highway 98 to Garrison Ave- nue. In the St. Joe Beach area, four streets will be paved. They include: Santa Anna St., from Americus to' Alabama Ave.; Selma, Atlantic and Canal Streets from Americus to Georgia Ave. In the Wewahitchka area, Mitchell Road, Chipola Ave and SR22A from Highway 71 to the Dead Lakes Dam is sche- duled for widening and re- surfacing. Port St. Joe is not due any more secondary paving until the 1977-78 fiscal year when contracts are scheduled to be let in July of 1977 for seven streets in this vicinity. Streets to be paved in fiscal '77-'78 include: 16th Street from Garrison to Long: 8th Street from Garrison to Wood- ward: Broad St. from Avenue A to Clifford Sims Dr.: Harbor (Continued on Page 8) City Employees Endorse Local 1306 City employees voted 40-34 last Wednesday to be affiliat- ed with Local 1306 Laborers Local, under the new Florida Public Employees Relations Commission law.. Affected by the vote are, employees of the City in every phase of service with the exception of the Municipal Hospital and the Police De- partment. Balloting was conducted at the Fire Station Wednesday morning from 7:30 to 8:30 and from 2:45 to 4:30 P.M. Virtually every employee affected by the outcome of the election cast his ballot during the day. There were 78 em- ployees eligible to vote and 74 cast ballots. The measure was approved by a narrow margin, since a tie vote- would have turned down the union proposal. The City Commission had until Wednesday of this week to contest the election but the Commission decided not to do so. The next step in the union organization process, which has now been going on for the better part of a year,. is to negotiate a contract between the representing union and the City. The negotiations will be conducted by the PERC rep- resentative for this area. There is no indication as yet as to when the negotiations will begin. Rev. Walter E. Poole, Jr. Planning Revival The Pentecostal Holiness Church, Garrison Avenue, will begin revival services, 'Sun- day, February 15. The, ser- vices will be each evening at 7:00 p.m., and will continue through February 22.' The guest speaker will be Rev. Walter- E. Poole, Jr. of Toccoa, Georgia. . Pastor James Gosnell ex- tends a special'invitation to everyone to attend these re- vival services and hear this widely known evangelist. Insurance is made to protect the property owner from hav- ing a catastrophic loss. Insur- ance is threatening to cause the County to have a catastro- phic dent in its financial flow with the payment of threaten- ed premiums on policies which are in the process of being renewed. Frank Graddy, who is the County's insurance comptrol- ler (he manages the County's insurance and places the busi- ; ness with various agencies throughout the county). Grad- dy warned the Commission that policies on the Courthouse and Jail and their contents was now due and the compan- ies writing the business want to increase the value of the buildings. Graddy said the building is ,still being insured for the same amount it was the first year after construction, at which time it was put on the insurance rolls at the cost of construction. He said the in- surance firms want to raise this amount of value which will cause the premium pay- 'ment to go higher. The Commission had al- ready been slapped in the face with extra insurance prem-, iums before Graddy arrived at the meeting, and his news only added to the leaping insurance costs. The Commission had been notified by county finance officer Jerry Gates that the workman's compensation in- surance is being increased by $10,195 per year. The County was already paying $32,718 for this coverage. In the matter of insurance for the buildings here in Port St. Joe, Graddy told the Board that insurance companies were up-dating all their cov- erage to "get more realistic values on the face of the policy" in Graddy's words. He said the reason for the move was to make it easier to settle partial losses. "They know it's almost impossible for the entire building to burn, at which time you would be paid the face amount of the policy, but a partial loss is another matter". The insurance agent said the county presently has cov- erage of $760,000 on the Court- house and contents and $261,- 000 on the Jail and its contents. Graddy suggested the insur- ance companies may want to hike the coverage by as much as 50 percent, but he suggest- ed the County attempt to increase by only 25 percent. One of the solutions for the growing insurance problem discussed by the Commission was the possiblility of becom- ing self-insured. Another solu- tion was to try and purchase policies with larger deducti- bles. Mrs. Griffin Taken by Death Saturday Funeral services for Mrs. Lucille Griffin, age 62, of Highland View were held Sun- day at 2:00 p.m. in the High- land View Church of God, with Rev. Howard Goins offici- ating, assisted by Rev. Wil- liam Stephens. Burial was in the Holly Hill Cemetery. Mrs. Griffin died Saturday morning at the home of her daughter in Callaway. Mrs. Griffin was a native of Altha and had been a resident of Port St. Joe for the past 35 years. She was a member of the Church of God. Survivors include her hus- band, Curtis Griffin of High- land View; one daughter, Mrs. Betty Suggs of Callaway; two sons, Jimmy P. Griffin and Jack C. Griffin, both of Fort Myers; two sisters, Mrs. Lovie Curlee of Blountstown and Mrs. Vorna Parrish of Hollywood; two brothers, Har- vey Whitfield and George Whitfield, both of Altha; and nine grandchildren. St. Clair Funeral Home of Port St. Joe was in charge of all arrangements. Gates said the County is now paying insurance premiums totaling $90,000 to $100,000 a year. "That's a full mill of taxes". Gates observed. He said. "The County could go a long way toward being self insured with this much money each year". Rish pointed out that the City of Port St. Joe was considering higher deducti- Up! bles and seeking an expert to set up an insurance program using deductibles of up to $5,000 to bring their insurance premiums into line. "Perhaps if the County would ask for policies with deductibles of $1,000 to $5,000, depending on the coverage, you could get much lower rates. After all, most of your needs for insur- (Continued on Page 2) N- Mrs. Witten and Mr. Davis Heart Campaign Gets Underway Larry R.

Girl Scout Cookie Sale Starts Friday Friday the 13th maybe an inauspicious day for some, but for Girl Scouts in the Big Bend area, it's a lucky day indeed. Friday, February 13th, will mark the first day of the 1976 Cookie Sale for the Girl Scout Council of the Apalachee Bend. Girl Scouts from Holmes to Taylor counties will begin ringing doorbells at 3:00 p.m. Friday and continue selling cookies through February 28th. They will have five delicious varieties of cookies for sale: the popular mint cookies, shorties, peanut but- ter, sandwich cremes and the new peanut butter patties which promise to be a favorite with Girl Scout cookie cus- tomers. Cookies will sell for $1.25 a box, the same price as last year. The 1976 sale will not be operated by the pre-order method. When girls arrive at customer's doors, they will have the cookies in hand. In addition to door-to-door sales, girls will be selling cookies- in booths at local shopping cen- ters and in other high-traffic areas. When customers buy Girl Scout cookies, they not only are receiving a delicious pro- duct, but are also supporting Girl Scouting in their -com- munity. Profits from the Cookie Sale directly benefit girls' in a variety of ways. Each troop receives 12"2 cents per box of cookies sold for troop program supplies, pro- jects or camp-outs. Girls may also pay their own way to resi- dence camp by earning Cookie . Certificates which are award- ed on the basis of how many cases of cookies a girl sells. Last year, 24 girls earned full Cookie Certificates which en- titled them to a full week at residence camp. Cookie profits realized by the Council go directly into the camping program. A Camp For All Seasons, the new resi- dence facility located on Lake Talquin, could never have been built without the profits from several year's sales. Camp Eleanor, on St. Andrews Bay in Panama City, is main- tained by cookie money. The Mayor Frank Pate purchases the first box of Girl Scout cookies from left to right: Christine Batson, Sheila Lucas. Hope tents, canoes and cooking equipment used by girls for weekend camping are all .paid for with cookie money. It doesn't seem possible that the price of one box of cookies could do very much, but when that box is combined with all the other boxes sold across the Council, it adds up to quality program for girls. Buying Girl Scout cookies is a smart investment in the future and a delicious way to support the Girl Scout Program. Lane, Vicki Barlow and Cindy Cox. Cookie sales officially get underway Friday afternoon. Star Photo 15 Cents Per Copy I MK I -MIN 1 R T CAK, Rumorn A,- PAGE TWO THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla.

Let's Make Plans to DoIt Our Way A recent article in the Florida rimes-Union, published in Jackson- ville, pointed out that as recently as l938, there were only 35,000 register- ed Republicans in the State of Florida. These, like Topsy, have grown in recent years until now, 'there are over a million registered :Republicans in the state. They are so affluent that Florida has not cast its ,vote for a Democratic president :since 1952: that's 24 years ago. * This isn't to say we should round ;all the Republicans up and ship them ;off somewhere in order that our ;state return to the "solid Democra- ;tic South" of years ago. We person- .ally like the two party system and the checks and balances it offers. What caught our attention in the ;article was the fact that nearly all of These million-plus Republicans liv- :ing in Florida came from other ;states: particularly the northern ;states. -,: ,,,, * Just as the welcome emigrants ito our state are changing our politics, they are also having a :significant affect on the way we do things and the way we live. What does concern us is that we will not be alert to our future and expansion or improvements as we who have built this state of Florida want it; This takes planning. In Gulf County we have, been averse to planning to a great extent because "we don't want somebody telling us we have to do it". The state and national govern- ment is insisting on planning for the future by governmental subdivi- sions. We must have a reason for making some of the requests we now go to the state and national govern- ment with so often. This is designed to keep from spending money in the future to correct the mistakes of the past, mostly made through lack of planning. If the federal government and the state ever gets on to the idea that planning by our people will make things go like we wish them to, they may change their rules and regula- - tions -. ... ,; o; SWhafwe're trying to say is that', indications are that we are import- ing a lot of help to aid us in our planning and life-style in the future. If we wish it to maintain that "Cracker" Florida flavor, we would do well to get on with our planning and make things hanren like we want them to. The St. Joseph Historical Soci- ety is another year older and has seen many projects accomplished Byr its members in the scant few years it has been in operation. The Historical Society probably gets more done per man than any t her organization in the County. There are only 20 permanent mem- birs and they pay $2.00 per year in ues. " The Historical Society works, lods others, cajoles and pleads for imose who can to preserve our story and revive that part which. ,serves to b9 remembered. They have been largely respon- sible for resurrecting a dead and neglected cemetery which contains history of the State of Florida as well as the City of Port St. Joe and old St. Jos6ph. They have almost single- handedly been responsible for the construction of the Constitution Mu- seum here as well as many mark- (Continued from Page 1) Insurance Up! Up! aijce coverage are small. If you have $5,000 damage to a building, you can pay that out of: your budget and save premiums". : GARBAGE DISPOSAL Insurance and its rising c6sts are only one of the sticky problems facing the Commis- sion these days. The matter of doing something in their gar- bage land-fill program by next year is also staring the Board in the face. Emmette Daniell, Mosquito ::Control supervisor advised the - 6ard that the land-fill area now serving the south end of the county has space for about six more months at the pres- ent rate of use. "In face of the new laws requiring garbage to be buried five feet above the water table by July of next year should be taken into consideration. At any rate we need some more land-fill area in the very near future", Daniell said. The Board decided to ap- proach the St. Joe Paper Company, owners of the pro- perty where the present land- fill is located, for permission ers throughout the county marking important historic events. Some tease them by referring to them as the "Hysterical Society", and they are almost hysterical about forcing us to remember from where we came. We suspect the teasing is a sign of respect, as it is in so many cases. Some say history, isn't import- ant; it's the future that counts. Yet, everything we do is based on precedent of what has been done before. If the Historical Society did nothing except keep the first Consti- tution of the State of Florida (signed here in Port St. Joe) before us, they would have performed an important task. For those of you who think historical societies aren't important, remember, it was some historical society or its equivalent, who pre- served the "historic moments" we see and appreciate on TV each night during this Bicentennial Year. to extend the operation to' adjoining property. Attorney William J. Rish advised the Board that he felt the Legislature would extend the deadline beyond next year to solve the pending problem for the time being. "Too many other places have our problem and there is no way they can get ready to comply with the new guidelines by next year. I feel thetrequest for extension will be granted within the next 60 days, relieving some of the pressure". This was the only good news of the day.

RAMSEY We all get in the act at some time or other in stressing safety in various activities. Most of us never think these acts can endanger us or one of our loved ones and in most cases we are never actively involved.. Last week our family was involved in such an instance when our little six-year-old grandson was shot in the eye with a pellet gun. He came within a sliver of losing the sight in one eye. Luckily, the pellet gun was loaded with the end of a color crayon rather than a pellet or the eye would have surely been gone. The boys, including two of our grandsons were playing and there was the pellet gun in the crowd. The accident all us adults preach about happened. Stephen made the most of it, as is his nature. The Carrier: SPrveyor of More K 1 Than Just News By CHARLIE WEBB I should be a good friend to my newspaper carrier for he is often the only live guardian of my home in the early mornings when the streets are deserted. Kindly communication with the carrier would also give the opportunity to share his know- ledge of the goodness of neigh- bors. I am isolated from neighbors through infrequent visits to their homes, while the carrier makes daily visits. Winter is a beautiful season of the year for neighbors. Children often return for a visit, and grandpa and grand- ma stop by for a rare visit. How refreshing is the humility and wisdom of a grandpa and grandma. To share this .through the newspaper car- rier could create a sunshine that would eliminate the fog of prejudice that often covers my heart toward the goodness of neighbors. I have thought about prepar- ing a cup of hot chocolate on a cold morning for the carrier, but have been unable to pull Dixie Youth Organizing Dixie Youth baseball pro- grams will start their plan- ning for the spring season next week in an organizational Lawton Chiles pledging his, support on securing a grant for the installation of water and sewer in the Oak Grove community.

To listen to and understand the fresh goodness of the newspaper carrier could make my own seem old and spotty. It takes lots of good- ness for the carrier to get out of a warm bed and deliver a newspaper through the cold- ness and loneliness of a vacant street, while I am still in the ease and stupor of sleep. In the rich, reflective moments of the chocolate break I could even realize that I cannot ever become the man that I think that I am, but that I could become what I should become-a simple man with appreciation of all newspaper carriers and all neighbors living on top of the hills of happiness and success and all those living down in the deso- late and lonesome valleys of defeat. * SEEDS FROM THE SOWER By Michael A. Guido, Metter, Georgia S Some time ago, the body of a man was found by the police. He left this note: "I'm nobody. Nobody cares for me. I'm like a peanut in Yan- kee Stadium. I decided to step on myself once and for all." There is no condition so acute, so universal as lone- liness the feeling of being uncared for and unloved. A man who had been run- ning for his life wrote in Psalm 142:4, "I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; nfo man cared for my soul." This man looked around. But he did not look up. For there is Someone who cares for our souls. He not only cares, but He has done some- thing about it. The Bible says, "Since God did not even spare His own Son for us but gave Him up for us all, won't He also sure- ly give us everything else?" He who cared for Noah in the ark, Job in the ashes, Mo- ses in the basket, Jonah in the fish and Daniel in the lion's den, cares for you watch- fully. So let the Lord have your wants and worries all of them. You are His personal concern. He is always think- ing about you. He loves you very much. There he was laid out flat of his back in the hospital where he wasn't supposed to move, with both eyes bandaged shut, unable to see even light. For Stephen that should have been a catastrophe in itself, since Stephen even moves in his sleep. He is never still. As he began to recover somewhat in the hospital he began to worry. He didn't worry about his eye, though. His concern was that he didn't have any pants on and Stephen is very modest. He sent word back to Port St. Joe from his bed in Bay Memorial Hospital that he wanted his pants or his pajamas. That little old hospital gown just didn't do it for him. Thursday of last week, he was allowed to move about some and the time was drawing near for him to be released and come home. He was happy, too: not because he was coming home, but because so many people had brought him so many things that he now had more of these valuable things such as color books, candy, fruit, toys, etc., than his brother did. To top it all off, he had,a fine new pair of colored glasses to wear, which his brother didn't have. . So, while us adults in the family worry about whether Stephen's eye gets back to normal, he is nothing but elated that he has hit such a bonanza. In fact, he's so happy about it, I'm fearful he might go out and invite someone to shoot him in the eye again so he can go back to the hospital and gather in some more loot. I am. embarrassed! Last week, I had to make a long distance telephone call, collect, to one of our suppliers and I set out to play it cool and use the direct dial system, set up last week by the telephone company. I dialed my number and the operator asked which special service I needed and I told her. The call was completed and I received a recorded message. I dialed again, went through the same procedure and got the recording again. The operator came again and asked, "Did you dial 0, then 1, then your number?" Real professional like, I assured her I did. "Just dial 0 plus the number and you will get your party leave out the 1." Then it hit me. Here we had printed 55,000 notices for the phone company to mail out in its bills over the next four months telling people how to use the system. I had gone through the plant for pictures and a story of the event and had even drawn up an ad for the paper explaining how the new system should be used. Then, on my first experience with the new system, I, used it wrong. I hope you have better luck and read the directions first. Two of our children live at White City, where they keep horses, grow gardens and raise chickens. For the most part, they keep Frenchie and I supplied with fresh eggs. Now we seldom have to buy any eggs for our morning breakfast. I say "now", because we didn't always eat the eggs the kids brought in. They had a funny - color and Frenchie thought they were duck or turkey eggs. These she used in her cooking and . bought our breakfast eggs at the super market. Recently, Catherine, our daughter, asked' Frenchie how she liked the low cholesterol eggs she had been bringing in. Frenchie, thinking Catherine was joking said she didn't use those duck and turkey eggs to eat; she cooked with them. Catherine said, "Don't do that. Those eggs are from special chickens bred to lay low cholesterol eggs for eating." I think Catherine has been fooled by someone. An egg is an egg. However, we now eat the pale gray eggs every morning. They no longer are saved for the cakes and other cooking.

Mrs. Swatts Installed As Historic Society President Stepping down from what he said would be his last term as president of the St. Joseph Historical Society, Jesse Stone gave a short history of the Society as he ended his eighth term as president last Friday night. The historians met for their annual installation banquet with about 75 guests and members present in the Port St. Joe Garden Center on Eighth Street. Stone noted that the Society has only 20 members, with dues of $2.00 per year for each member. "We organized in 1959 with only seven mem- bers", Stone said. He recog- nized the original members, Mrs. R. H. Brinson, Mrs. Charles Brown, Mrs. Zola Maddox, Mrs. Ruth Soule, .Mrs. Chauncey Costin and Mrs. Louise Porter. Stone pointed to several projects accomplished by the Society during the 17 years they have been 'formed. Charles Smith presents a plaque of appreciation to Jesse Stone, outgoing president of the society.

Among the most notable ac- complishments were restora- tion of the old St. Joseph Cemetery, St. Joseph State Park, discovery of several historical sites and causing appropriate markers to be erected at each site, preserva- tion of a section of the old St. Joseph and Iola Railroad bed, collection of a number of historic relics and publication of a history of Gulf County as -well as a number of other pamphlets and books. Stone noted, "We don't have the money to do all these things. We must rely on others who are concerned with pre- serving our history and they have been most generous dur- ing the past." The past president calculat- ed the Society had caused over $5 million to be spent for historic purposes during the past years. He especially thanked gov- ernment, business and indus- try for their interest in the Gulf County heritage and their financial aid given to the Society. Senator George Tapper in- troduced the speaker for the evening, George Adkins of Blountstown who gave an in- teresting talk of the past history of Gulf and Calhoun counties. "They used to be all the same county", Adkins noted. He pointed out that some famous people were interested in this area. "As a matter of fact many of the settlement George Adkins, Speaker names came from famous people and their former home places", Adkins noted. He said Dalkeith was the home of a nobleman in Scotland who named the settlement after his home town. Iola and Kentucky Landing received their names from their former ownership by the State of Kentucky. His most interesting obser- vation was concerning the area north of Iola. "This area was one of the richest cotton growing areas in the world before the Civil War", Adkins said. "You have heard of the 'gold rush', it was nothing compared to the 'cotton rush' .". Adkins pointed out that periodic flooding of the. Apalachicola River basin made it one of the few cotton Brinson and Mrs. James McNeil. In the back are Charles 'Smith and Wayne Childers.

'"The river would keep putting rich soil back to replenish what cotton had drained", Adkins said. This made the area attractive to cotton planters and as a consequence the area produc- ed more cotton to the acre than any other place in the world. MRS.

And like everything else, electricity costs more than it did last year. So try to keep up your conservation efforts. Save energy wherever you can. Here are some tips to help you save more electric dollars in the chilly days ahead. 8. Let the sun shine in dur- ing the day. At night, close the draperies to minimize heat loss. 9. Be sure the damper is closed when fireplace is not in use. Don't use fireplace on cold days when regular heat- ing system is in use because more heat goes up chimney than fireplace can provide. 10. There's still cold weather ahead. So, for additional energy saving tips, stop by our nearest office and pick up a free copy of our booklet, "How To Conserve Your Elec- tric Dollar." It can help keep your electric bills as low as possible. Florida Power January brought more cold weather than we had all last year.

Pay is certainly important, but the job will. eventually make the per- son. A person who finds the job that lets him feel he is doing something that gives him satisfac- tion will be a happier and better individual. If you are spending your days wondering about your "vocation," then very likely you have the wrong one. OUR THOUGHT TO REMEMBER: "Not only life but abundance.. .this is everyone's need."

Whether it be for the active ,games engaged in by small children 7or for the- passive type r-dereationi forr-; most adults, some provisions should be made so that all members of the nmily, their'heighbors, and friends may sometimes play together and enjoy the outdoor environment.'An out- door living area designed to fit the needs of a family provides such apspAce, and should be developed as a definite and important part of every home- grounds. Patios should be large enough to be useful. Small concrete slabs near the house are often cold and uninviting. Keep in. mind the kinds' of activities that will take place on your patio. The patio should be large enough to accommo- date family and friends when entertaining. Ample room should) Iek allowed for game tables .,and for children's wheeled toys. However, the patio can be made son large that it takes onn out the .entire yard. In selecting trees. for the outdoor living area, choose 'small trees with interesting trunks, branching and leaf shape.

According to Bill Graham, Goodwill's faci- lity director, lack of materials has already had an adverse effect on the agency's pro- gram. Many of the people in the program are young adults who have spent most of their lives in institutions. They have no conception of what it takes to hold a job, earn a living, or manage their own affairs. Exposure to the world of work is a necessary element in preparing them for a job with a private employer. Goodwill is structured to provide instruction and coun-- seling on such basics as-get- ting to work on time. accep- tance of supervision. "and working with others, as well as on-the-job work skills.

Place the outdoor living area so it can be seen from the living room or dining room area. An extension of the in- door function to a similar out- door use is desirable. It should not interfere with the service areas or driveway. The area should be enclosed to insure complete privacy for the fam- ily dressed in casual wear. Plants are important in out- door living areas. Interesting specimens that give a variety of seasonal effects will elim- inate the monotony often as- sociated with many plants used in the landscape. Be- cause the family will be close to the living material, use those plants that are striking from the standpoint of color, form and texture. Color is a must in the activity area and should be planned for year round in such a key area of the landscape. Flowering annuals in masses in the patio area are easy to establish and due to the great variety of flowering annuals we have an excellent choice for adding color to the land- scape. Many small trees have colorful blooms, seed pods or fruit. Colorful shrubs with per. -marent'folage-dclbr can be%, realasset to the living ared with not only blooms, but fol- iage as well. However, remember, that a hodge-podge of many plants which entangle and become lost in a mass of green is undesirable.

LEWIS Comlitroller of Florida Forgery can be a costly experience, regardless of which end you find yourself on. It's a crime, of course, to forge someone else's name' on a check or any other docu- ment, and it can result in five. years in prison. If you're the victim of a forgery, however, the loss can be painful if you don't know what to do. The first and best precau- tion is to safeguard your checkbook, so that it never falls into the hands of a po- tential forger. All the safeguards in the world, however, may not prevent you from falling vic- tim to a forger. It's essential that you take every precau- tion to discover forgeries as soon as possible, and know what to do if you do find someone has forged your name. Here are some tips which might' be helpful: ,1) Examine each check in your monthly statement Bowling I carefully, including the sig- natures. 2) Make it a point to ac- count for each check by number, so that a misplaced check doesn't fall into the wrong hands. If you find you are missing checks, notify your bank. 3). If you get a cancelled check which you are sure you didn't sign, take it to your bank immediately. You will be asked to sign a notor- ized statement that the sig- nature on the check is false. Most banks will then credit the amount of the check to your account. 4) Once a forgery is re- turned to the bank, the next step is to report it to local law enforcement authorities. Remember, it is your re- sponsibility not the bank s, to detect and re- port any unauthorized or forged checks. Only by re- porting these things to your bank immediately can you recover your money. (AFNS) News Report Income Changes People getting supplemen- tal security income payments should promptly report changes in their other income and resources to social secur- ity, according to David Robin- son, Social Security Repre- sentative for Gulf County. The supplemental security income program makes monthly payments to people with little or no income and limited resources who are 65 or over or blind or disabled. "Increases or decreases in income may affect the amount of monthly supplemental security income payments," Robinson said. "People get- ting supplemental security in- come checks should report changes or expected changes in their wages, self-employ- ment earnings, pension pay- ments and other income from any source except general in- creases in social security benefits." Changes can be reported by contacting any social security office. People getting supplemen- tal security income checks should also promptly report increases in savings and any property they may own as well as change of address, mar- riage, separation, and any other circumstances that might affect their payments, I according to Robinson. - The Federal supplemental security income program is run by the Social Security SAdministration, an agency of I the U.
