Primary Hopefuls, Proposed Constitution

Amendments On Next Tuesday's Ballot


Florida and Gulf County
voters will take their first in
four trips to the ballot box this
year when they turn out to
vote next Tuesday in Florida's
Presidential Primaries.
Florida's primary will be
the third in the nation in the
1976 process of nomination by
Republicans and Democrats
to seek the presidency of the
United States.
Florida voters will also be
faced with a Constitutional
Amendment on the ballot. The
amendment would allow a
local ad valorem tax to be
levied for financing the state
water management board and
its regional committees. The
amendment provides for a one
mill limit to the levy. It also
provides that the districts can
levy up to three-tenths of a
mill on their own power and
must apply to the Legislature
for permission to levy more.
In the case of Gulf, the bill
provides for the levy of five
one-hundreths of a mill at the
present time.
The Democratic ballot is
loaded with 12 presidential
hopefuls and one slot where
the voter can pull a lever
showing he has no preference.
Democratic candidates on
the ballot, seeking Florida's
vote in the Democratic con-
vention are: Birch Bayh, Ar-
thur 0. Blessitt, Robert C.
Byrd, Jimmy Carter, Frank
-"Church, Fred R. Harris, Hen-
ry M. (Scoop) Jackson. Ellen
McCormack, Milton J. Shapp,
Sargent Shriver, Morris K.
Udall and George C. Wallace,
in that order.
Here in Gulf County, there
has been little to no interest in
any Democratic candidate,
with the possible exception of
George Wallace. When the
Alabama Governor had his
name on the ballot four years


Connie Redmon and Cheryl Hatc
medals. They will represent Fl


ago, there was a strong organ-
ization here in Gulf County
working diligently for their
candidate. This time around,
there has been virtually no,


activity on Wallace's behalf,
though he- is probably the
favorite of this part of the
country.
The Republican ballot is a

Drainage Problem

Drainage problems sprang up all over the CiL~ in
heavy rains late last year, not the least of which were in
the Chicken House Branch area, where two 36-inch drain
pipes buckled and filled with debris. Repair ol the pipes
was to be an expensive job and the City of Port St. Joe
undertook the project this week.
After a hole was opened over the two pipes, bolh
were found to be separated as shown in this photo near
the man with the shovel.
The break in the pipes will be repaired and a third.
48-inch drain pipe laid on top of the two existing pipes
which should take care of the problem.

Ambulance

Building

Going Up


Workmen moved onto the site
three weeks ago on the north side of
the Courthouse to begin construction
of the new Ambulance center here in
Port St. Joe. and already are making
substantial headway.
Griffin Construction of Blountstown


were the successful bidders on the
project, which has been in the
planning stage for nearly a year.
The facility will provide room to
house two ambulance vehicles and
will also have a meeting room for the
ambulance squad to store its records


and conduct regular meetings.
The building project is being fi-
nanced with government revenue
sharing funds.
The outside decor of the new
building will harmonize with that of
the Courthouse.

Rejection Recommended


for Amendment


When you go to the polls to vote
next Tuesday in the Presidential
Preferential Primary, there will be
a question on the ballot concerning a
Constitutional Amendment to be
approved or rejected. We hope
everyone will cast their vote Tues-
day and we would recommend that
all those who do vate, cast their
ballot against the Constitutional
Amendment.
The Constitutional Amendment
asks that the voters give their assent
to levying local millage to finance
the water management district. In
Gulf County, it will give permission
to levy .05 mill and will give
permission to levy up to one half mill
with the approval of the Legislature.
This levy will be made on local
property through county ad valorem
taxes.
The water management people
want the levy approved so they can
get their financing direct from local
governments without having to go to
Tallahassee, as other agencies do, to
get their financing. Presently, they
are financed through the State
General Fund.
We wish to have our water
resources protected and we believe
this should be the responsibility of


the state in order that a unified
yardstick be applied throughout the
state toward preserving our valued
supply. We feel, too, the opera-
tion of the bureau can better be
handled through the state govern-
ment.
With finances being provided
directly by the state, we feel .there
will be better control over the
agency. It can perform only so far as
its finances allow it, and reasoning
would have it that the water
management people expect to get
more money with the local levy of
taxes than they are getting from the
state. Otherwise, why would they go
to all the trouble to try and get a
Constitutional Amendment approv-
ed? It has been our experience here
in Gulf County that the more money
an agency has to spend, the larger it
grows and the more nit-picky regu-
lations it passes and attempts to
enforce.
We have enough mandatory
financing from the state as it is to
operate activities we didn't ask for
without having even more piled on
top of our present burden.
We can see no good reason for
agreeing to local taxation for the
financing of this state bureaucracy.


A professor by the name of
Denis Wood of North Carolina State
University has spent an entire
summer making a study of a kid's
propensity for mud pies.
Really.
He has spent an entire summer
studying kids and why they like mud
pies. He has come up with the
conclusion that a mud pie is a child's
favorite dish.
Wood said his study showed
that kids are intrigued with dirt;-
especially after they discover that it
can make things grow. He reported
from his study that he observed


some children burying another child
to make more like him grow.
It has been a long-accepted fact
that kids like to play in the dirt. They
even delight in making mud pies and
getting the ingredients all over
themselves and their clothes, thus
being partially responsible fo; the
glut of detergents which faces one
when he examines the grocery
shelves.
So far as the claim of professor
Wood that mud pies are a child's
favorite dish, we suspect that during
his study he didn't take peanut
butter into consideration.

Section Houses and


Railroad Men


By CHARLIE WEBB
I t "'.^ '""^ 'q


During pioneer times there
were many wonderful people
living in what was known as
railroad section houses in the
towns dotting the hills and
valleys alongside the shining
ribbons of railroad steel.
Inhabitants of section
houses were families of main-
tenance crews of certain sec-
tions of the railroad line,
hence the name section
houses. The houses were close
together for instant contact
with the crew for emergency
repair to the railroad tracks.
Once, the local crew re-
leased a pretty little sway-


Two Men

Arrested
Two Wewahitchka men
were arrested in connection
with the break-in of two
residences at Hall's Fish
Camp. announced Gulf County
Sheriff Raymond Lawrence
and Chief J. H. Glass of the
Wewahitchka Police Depart-
ment.
Robert T. Granger and
Michael E. Roberts were ar-
rested Sunday and charged
with burglary of a house and a
mobile home located at the
fish camp. Most of the stolen
property was recovered, and
included several TV sets,
stereo sets, radios and house-
hold appliances. Also recover-
ed were items taken in the
burglary of a Springfield
home, where the two men will
also face chargers.
Granger is free on $1,000
bond and Roberts is being held
in the Gulf County Jail in lieu
of bond in the same amount.
The arrests were the result
of information gathered by
Chief Glass, who worked on
the investigation in conjunc-
tion with the Gulf County
Sheriff's Department.

Transportation for the crew
was a hand-propelled vehicle
with no top. In returning from
work, the rhythmic up-and-

almost silent-running car and
the happy smiles of the men in
anticipation of being with
their loved ones again to enjoy
a delicious supper of soupy,

ful scene at the sunset of
another day of work and love.

one crew member said that he
was the best railroad spike
driver of the whole railroad
division.
A big day for the section
gang was the arrival of the
pay train. Money seems to
have always fascinated men,
especially gold and silver. The
local crew was often paid in
silver dollars and in a short
time everyone in town would
be jingling beautiful new sil-
ver dollars.
Changes seem to exact their
toll in most-all physical things.
The simple section houses that
once housed the laughter and
dreams of their people have
been bull-dozed into oblivion,
but the goodness of their
people lives on forever.


Good Nutrition Plays A

Major Role for Health


"Improving Nutrition for
the Nation" is the theme of
National Nutrition Week, be-
ing celebrated nationwide
March 7-13.
The goal of this week is to
educate Americans about nut-
rition and its role in keeping
one healthy.
Nutrition week this year
focuses on a "Nutrition Bill of
Rights" recommending that
every American have: the
right to health through im-
proved nutrition; the right to
choose a variety of foods that
provide optimum nutrition at
competitive prices; and the
right to be informed through
adequate nutrition education
as a protection against food
and nutrition misinformation.
Recent scientific literature
documents the benefit of diet
changes to prevent some of
the chronic diseases today.
Obesity is the biggest nu't-
ritional problem in America.


It is a mjor contributing factor
in heart disease, stroke, dia-
betes and arteriosclerosis.
Cardiovascular disease,
Florida's primary killer, can
be controlled by reducing
calories and fat in meals and
by decreasing the amount of
sugar, alcohol and salt each
uses. High blood pressure and
diabetes also respond to these
diet changes.
Cancer is the second leading
cause of death in Florida.
Recent studies show that can-
cer of the colon, which ac-
counts for 12 percent of these
deaths, may be the result of
the low fiber content in our
diets.
Dental caries, which affects
all of us, is effected by the
amount of sugar-rich foods
(candy, cookies, sugar-sweet-
ened drinks, etc.) which are
eaten. These are particularly
bad for the teeth when eaten
between meals.


and call. Her voice would start on a low note,
building up steam as it went until she would get
out a lusty, paw-HAUL-L-L-! Paul would act like
he was too far from home to hear and just
wouldn't come. His mother soon had her vocal
cords twisted just right so she could blare forth
his name where it would make the cat's fur stand
on end and the dogs howl, much like the fire siren
does here in Port St. Joe when it goes off at noon.
Paul worked that system to a science for a
good while until the "Concorde" was
introduced to our little town.
After she found out what Paul was doing, his
mother hit on a new tack which she knew would
erase the excuse, "I didn't hear you, momma".
His momma got hold of a big whistle that had
the loudest shrill you ever heard. From that day
on, when Paul's momma wanted him to come
home, she went out the door, put the whistle to
her lips and proceeded to raise the dead.
Wherever Paul was, if he pretended not to hear
the whistle, the people near him would send him
home so his mother would stop making all that
racket.
So, you see, there is experience to base the
threatened noise pollution of Concorde. We had it
when I was a kid and although it was unpleasant
it didn't cause any lasting damage. In fact it did
some good; it got Paul home once in a while.

I have found David Brinkley to be wrong
once again.
One day last week, before the New
Hampshire primary, Brinkley remarked on one
of his newscasts that "Hair and teeth are two of
the most important political attributes". Brink-
ley was saying that the one with hair came
across pretty well and made a good showing in
the political race. If a candidate had hair and
nice teeth, he nearly had it made.
New Hampshire proved that analogy wrong.
True, Jimmy Carter, the Georgian with a grin
like a Georgia mule eating briars and a shock of
hair which looks as if it was made in one of
Georgia's shag carpet mills, won his race
soundly. I suspect it was the lack of opponents
rather than the hair and teeth which won for him.
In the other race, President Ford won the
popular vote by a narrow margin and took a
whopping big majority of the delegate vote.
There's just no comparison between the hair and
teeth of Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford. Ford's
hair is thin to missing and his teeth are no
potential toothpaste ad. On the other hand,
Reagan still has all of his hair or a heck of a good
toupee and his teeth have that movie evenness
which you would expect from a romantic leading
man.
Brinkley, again you must eat your "idiot
card".

Speaking of presidents: I see where the late
John F. Kennedy is accused of having another
paramour. This time, it is reported a now-dead
female artist by the name of Mary Pinchot
Meyer was the President's girl friend from the
time of the Cuban crisis until he was shot in
Dallas. It seems the beautiful mature lady (she's
reported to have been in her 40's-a fine mellow
age) when she was coming to see the president
two or three nights a week.
This new revelation came right on the heels
of an earlier report that the president had
dalliance with a fine figure of a woman named
Judith Exner.
With Judith, Mary and Jacque all on the
string, and serving as a full time president of the
United States, Lee Harvey Oswald could have
saved his bullet. In just a short time, old John F.
would have died a natural death: or he would
have replaced Paul Bunyan as the legendary
strongest man in the world.

Sharks Rap Apalach



and Monticello, Now 5-2


Strong pitching and timely
hitting provided the Shark
baseballers with three wins
Friday and Saturday, running
their season record to 5-2.
Friday afternoon, Coach
Pop Wagoner brought his
Apalachicola team to Shark
stadium for their season open-
er and were dealt a 5-1 loss.
Sandy Sanborn, senior right-
hander, pitched a two-hitter,
striking out seven batters
while giving up five bases on
balls. Sandy now has a record
of two wins and one loss.
The Sharks pushed across
three runs in the first, one run
in both the fifth and sixth
innings, to win the outing.
The team was led at the
plate by sophomore Wade
Stoutamire, seniors Ricky
Hatcher and Steve Cloud, each
with two base hits.

The Monticello Tigers, with


a much improved team over
past years, came to the Port
Saturday for a double-header
and left empty handed. The
Tigers were completely hand-
cuffed by the pitching of
senior right-hander Ricky
Hatcher and junior right-
hander Keef Pettis. Ricky
took the mound for the opener
and allowed Monticello only
three base runners, two base
hits and one error. He struck
out eight batters, walking
none. Hatcher has pitched
three games and has not
allowed an earned run in 21
innings. His games have been
a three-hitter against Florida
High, a two-hitter against De-
land and a two-hitter against
Monticello.
Hatcher received hitting
support from R. D. Davis,
Wade Stoutamire and Craig
Weimorts. He aided his own
cause with a two-run single.

By Robert Black

Many of you have probably
planted fruit trees and have
been disappointed when they

Fruit trees generally bear
fruit when they become old
enough to blossom freely, pro-

Growers do have some con-

Even though trees blossom

at least one tree with male
flowers to serve as a pollina-
tor.
Trees with only staminate
flowers will normally pollinate
a number of trees with female
blossoms. The persimmon is a
good example of this type
fruit. Varieties that produce
male and female flower parts
on separate trees should not
be planted whenever other ac-
ceptable varieties are avail-
able.
Citrus, figs and peach trees
are usually "self-fruitful" and
require no other varieties for
pollination.
Most apples, pears and
plums are "self-unfruitful"
and require two or more vari-
eties in the planting. To assure
adequate pollination, the var-
ieties should have the same
bloom period.
Soil fertility has been found
to influence the ability of trees
to hold and mature their fruit.
Over-fertilization, especially
too much nitrogen causing
excessive vegetative growth,
can cause fruit to drop. During
extremely dry periods, fruit
that were not completely pol-


linated will generally drop be-
fore those that were adequate-
ly pollinated.
Most deciduous fruit trees
(peach, plum, etc.) require a
specific number of hours of
cold temperatures (chilling
requirement) during the win-
ter in order for the flower buds
to open in the spring. If they
fail to receive this needed
cold, the tree will not produce
fruit. The chilling require-
ment differs greatly among
varieties. Therefore, it is im-
portant when selecting fruit
trees to choose varieties with
low chilling requirements.
In some instances, insects
and diseases may cause fruit
drop. In other cases, deep cul-
tivation too close to trees has
been cited as the cause of fruit
"drop.
Adverse weather conditions
at time of bloom may interfere
with pollination and result in
fruit drop. Also, extremely
low temperatures during dor-
mancy can cause bud injury
and preverit fruit production.

It's Only Your




MONEY J


A "File" On You
By GERALD A. LEWIS
Comptroller of Florida


If you have a charge ac-
count, life insurance, a home
mortgage, or if you've ever
borrowed or applied for an
important job, you can as-
sume that somewhere there
is a "file" on you. It probably
shows how well you pay your
bills, whether you've been
sued or arrested, and may
even include how your neigh-
bors or friends feel about
your character and reputa-
tion.
At one time, many of these
"Consumer Reporting Agen-
cies" were notoriously inac-
curate and the consumer had
little or no recourse.
It was possible for inaccu-
rate reports to plague a per-
son's credit for years or even
a lifetime.
In 1971, Congress enacted
the Fair Credit Reporting
Act to protect consumers
against the circulation of in-
accurate or obsolete infor-
mation and to insure that re-
porting agencies treat con-
sumers fairly.
If you are denied credit,
insurance or employment
because of a consumer credit
report, there are steps you
can take to protect yourself.
1) While you are not enti-
tled to a copy of your file, you
are entitled to a personal in-
terview at the agency's of-


fice during regular business
hours. You have the right to
be told the nature and source
(except investigative sour-
ces) of all information.
2) You are entitled to
know who has received a
consumer report about you
within the last 6 months, or
the last two years if used for
employment purposes.
3) If information in the file
is incorrect or inaccurate,
you can insist that it be rein-
vestigated. If it's proven to
be incorrect, it must be re-
moved from the file.
4) The agency must in-
form any businesses who
have received incorrect in-
formation that it has been
deleted.
5) If a reinvestigation is
not settled in your favor, you
may demand that your ver-
sion of the facts be placed in
your file.
6) Should a Consumer Re-
porting Agency fail to adhere
to any part of this law, you
have the right to sue the
agency for damages.
Your performance in all
credit transactions deter-
mines the quality of your
personal credit file. Always
remember that your credit
rating will follow you the rest
of your life. (AFNS)


St. Vincents



Opens Fresh



Water Fishing

Refuge Manager Charles Noble reminds sports-
men that the fresh water fishing season opens again
March 1 on St. Vincent National Wildlife Refuge. The
season will be from March 1 through October 31, 1976.
St. Vincent National Wildlife Refuge is a 12,350
acre island nine miles southwest of Apalachicola.
Three hundred sixty acres of the island are fresh water
ponds, small lakes and connecting creeks this is the
area in which fresh water fishing is found. This is
considered primitive area fishing. Approaches to the
fishing area are on the east end of St. Vincent Island.
The use of boat motors is not permitted in the fresh -
water fishing area. Signs along the east end of St.
Vincent Island near West Pass direct one to the fishing
area. Small boats may get to'the fishing area through
an outlet creek from the lakes which drains into
Apalachicola Bay or a small boat may be carried
overland about :.4 of a mile along a jeep trail. Both
routes are marked with 'Entrance to Fishing Area'
signs. No permit is needed to enter the fishing area.
Florida license and fishing regulations apply except
that night fishing or live minnows are not allowed.
A leaflet providing information, regulations, and a
map of St. Vincent National Wildlife Refuge may be
obtained from the refuge office located at 44 Avenue E,
Apalachicola, or by writing the Refuge Manager, St.
Vincent National Wildlife Refuge, P. 0. Box 447,
Apalachicola, Florida 32320.

The Board discussed the
baseball complex at Port St.
Joe High School. On motion by
Greer, seconded by Guillot, all
voted Yes to apply for a

"If I had any money I'd take
the bus." says Harry Lacy,
who arrived in town last Wed-
nesday on his bicycle on his
way back to Long Beach,
California.
Most long distance bicy-
lists travel that way because
of the romance of the road, the
lure of adventure, but not
Harry. He was planning to
visit his daughter in Ft.
Myers. Lacy left home in
September with $500 in his
pocket; arrived in Ft. Myers in
December, but found that his
daughter had moved. Since
then he has pedaled his bike to
Tampa and Jacksonville, ap-
peared on TV, radio and in
newspapers looking for his
daughter, Joyce Miller.
The day this photo was
taken, Harry celebrated his
73rd birthday, he was broke,
and 3,000 miles from home.


But Lacy is no stranger to
long distances, two years ago
he rode his bicycle, the same
one, to New York, and stayed
for a week as a guest of one- of
the local TV stations. He re-
turned to California via his


bicycle.
Even though he is disap-
pointed at his failure to find
his daughter, he has no choice
but to push on to California, in
hopes his daughter might try
to reach him at home.

Mrs. Harper Decides to Go Fishing


On Thursday of last week,
Mrs. Verlie J. Harper of 1511
Monument Avenue, severed
her connection with the Port
St.. Joe Post Office via the
route of retirement.
Mrs. Harper began her pos-
tal career in the Wewahitchka
Post Office in May of 1959


where she served as a tem-
porary window and distribu-
tion clerk. In September, 1959,
she and her husband, Buel,
moved to Port St. Joe and in
May, 1960, she received an
appointment in the Port St.'
Joe Post Office as a tempor-
ary window and distribution
clerk. She was promoted to a


career employee in Septem-
ber, 1967, and .served in the
capacity of window and dis-
tribution clerk until her re-
tirement.
According to Mrs. Harper,
she plans to spend part of her
time at home on Monument
Ave., but most at her camp at


Kentuckey Landing on the'
Apalachicola River and visit-
ing her children and grand-
children.
Upon her retirement the
postal employees presented
her with a reel, rod and tackle
box which she said she could
put to good use.

By Joe St. Clair
It is told that a visitor
from a foreign country
made this comment about
America when he return-
ed home. "The saddest
thing about the United
States is everyone is try-
ing to run away from
themselves."
It does appear that in
our search for happiness,
adventure and pleasure-
we are in a constant race.
To find it-we run, and
many times we appear to
be running away from
ourselves.
The happiest people are
those who take time.
Time to enjoy-time to
plant a garden, time to
watch it grow. You are
then waiting-and you
can't run away from
yourself if you wait.
OUR THOUGHT TO
REMEMBER: The great-
est rewards come to those
who wait.

Oak Grove Church Scene of


Raffie

Saint Valentine's Day was
the date chosen by Anita Kay
Raffield and Richard Lamar
Hamm for repeating their
matrimonial vows. The dou-
ble-ring candlelight ceremony
was performed by Reverend
David Fernandez at seven
p.m. in the sanctuary of Oak
Grove Assembly of God
Church.
Parents of the couple are
Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Raffield
and Mr. and Mrs. Benton
Hamm of port St. Joe.
Torch lamps lit the entrance
to the foyer where the guests
were greeted by usher-door-
men Wayne Deason of Talla-
hassee and Eric Freeman.
Lisa and Launa Fernandez,
dressed in floor length dresses
of red and white, presented
each guest with a wedding
scroll. Liddon A. Woodard, Jr.
of Tallahassee and Jackie
Raffield, brother of the bride,
of Pascagoula, Miss. served
as ushers.
Organist Billy Rich, Jr. ac-
companied Mrs. Jo O'Barr,
soloist, as she sang "We've
Only Just Begun", "Walk
Hand in Hand", and "More".
Proceeding Rev. David Fer-
nandez down the aisle were
the groom, Richard Hamm,
and Benton Hamm, best man,
followed by Craig Burkett,
ring bearer. Following in
pairs were, the groomsmen,
Liddon Woodard, Jackie Raf-
field, Charles Lindsey, Mar-
shall Nelson, Steve Lawrence
and Eddie Summers.
The groom was attired in a
white tuxedo and white ac-
cessories. The best man and
groomsmen wore black tuxe-
dos. The ring bearer wore a
red Eaton suit. All had red
rose boutonnieres in their
lapels.
Debbie Lindsey, sister of the
groom, served as matron of
honor. Bridesmaids were
Carol Ramsey, Ida Garrett,
Becky White and Cindy Dea-
son of Tallahassee. Junior
bridesmaids were Kim
Dupree and Sonya Vause of
Tallahassee. Donna Raffield
of Pascagoula, Miss. served
her aunt as flower girl. All of
the attendants were attired in
floor length dresses of red
polyester, featuring empire
waistline, and long puffed
fitted sleeves. Both the sleeves
and neckline were accented
with white lace. Each carried
a bouquet of white carnations,
red rosebuds, baby's breath
with green fern and red and
white ribbon streamers. Their
hairpieces were circlets of red
ribbon and white lace enter-
twined with white mums and
green fern.'
The flower girl wore a long
dress of white with red flowers
and featured a red ribbon bow
flowing down the back. She
carried a dainty basket of red
rose petals.
The bride chose for her
wedding a formal gown of
scalloped Chantilly lace. Lace
fashioned the long fitted
sleeves and the sculptured
bodice was highlighted by a
band of lace roses and tiny
seedpearls at the sabrina
neckline. Cascading tiers of
lace ruffles fell from the
natural waistline, flowing into
a full cathedral train. Lace
roses and seedpearls edged
her finger-tip veil of imported
silk illusion. She carried a
bouquet of red and white
rosebuds and baby's breath
edged with lace and trimmed
with tiny pearl hearts, which
fell into a cascade of white
rosebuds.' Her only jewelry
was a dainty strand of pearls.
As the bride, escorted and
given in marriage by her
father, started down the aisle,
ushers Wayne Deeson and
Eric Freeman unrolled the
white carpet. Flowergirl Don-
na Raffield dropped red rose
petals preceding the bride. As
the bride and groom joined
hands at the altar, Benton
Hamm, father of the groom,
sang "Because of You."
The ceremony was under
the direction of Mrs. Virginia
Cannon.
The wedding scene was en-
hanced by a centered 15-
branch candelabra of burning
white tapers entwined with


green fern and large bow of
red and white ribbon. On
either side were seven-branch
candelabra identical to the
central one, and two large
baskets of beautiful arrange-
' ments of red and white carna-
tions, white gladioli and Fiji
mums nestled among fern and
polished greenery. Golden
cherubs holding an arrange-

ment of red and white carna-
tions with green fern adorned
the organ and piano. The
prayer bench and eternal
candelabra held a large bow of
red and white flowing ribbon
with tiny red and white hearts.
Family pews were designed


with small lighted hurricane
lamps with red and white
bows of long flowing ribbon
with red hearts. Frances and

So that the guests could

covered in white organdy and
enhanced by a white wedding

ed by a lighted red flowing
fountain of tiny red hearts.
Placed on either side of the
cake was a five-branch can-
delabrum entwined with green
ivy with burning red tapers.
Twin arrangements of red
carnations, white Fiji mums
and baby's breath, nestled
among green fern also graced

by Angie Raffield of Pasca-
goula, Miss., Edna Vause of

liams.
The groom's table, overlaid
with a white cloth, held a
beautiful cake baked by Mrs.
Wesley Ramsey. On top of the
cake was a horse-drawn car-
riage and groom entitled,
"Get Me to the Church on
Time." An arrangement of
red and white Fiji mums,
baby's breath and green fern
accented a silver plaque over-
laid with' a cross and two
wedding rings personally in-
scribed with their names and
wedding date, a gift to the


couple from Mr. and Mrs. Ed-
ward J. Woods of Marianna.
The refreshment table over-
laid with a white cloth and
centered with an arrangement
of red carnations, white Fiji
mums and baby's breath
nestled among green fern dis-
played a silver punchbowl,
tray and cups. A silver coffee
service graced the other end

Picture of Old St. Joseph




Salt Works Given Society


During the annual dinner
meeting of the St. Joseph
Historical Society held re-
cently, the organization was
the recipient of a large oil
painting depicting the destruc-
tion of the St. Joseph Bay salt
works.
The painting, framed in rare
black cypress from the Apa-
alachicola River was painted
and donated by local artist
Jonnia Sykes. The painting
was done from a sketch which
appeared in "Harper's Week-
ly", November 15, 1862.
The salt works, located in
the head of St. Joseph Bay,


was one of several in the area
operating during the War Be-
tween the States. Salt was pro-
duced by the evaporation of
sea water. When the war be-
gan the Confederate States of
America had a population of
nine million. Confederate offi-
cials stated that the popula-
tion required six million bus-
hels of salt per year or 300
million pounds. Even this
figure was reduced due to the
war. Ante-bellum consump-
tion was 50 pounds per capital
annually. Salt was a precious
commodity during the war.
After the Federal blockage of
Southern waters early in the


war, salt increased in price to
one dollar per pound in some
areas.

Salt was used to preserve
pork, beef, fish and butter.
Large amounts were also re-
quired for livestock consump-
tion. The Confederate Army
alone consumed 500,000 hogs
annually and the civilian pop-
ulation consumed several
times this figure. The old ac-
cepted rule for curing these
meats was two bushels of salt
to 1,000 pounds of pork and 1'4
bushels of salt to each 500
pound beef. Lesser amounts
were believed to endanger


preservation.
The U. S. bark "Kingfisher"
sent a party of 50 men with
loaded muskets and fixed
bayonets to destroy the un-
finished St. Joseph Saltworks,
September 15, 1862. It was
then producing 150 bushels of
salt per day with the capa-
bility of producing 500 bushels
when completed.
The U. S. bark "Pursuit"
landed two cutters with 20
armed men in the vicinity of
Cape San Bias April 18, 1864,
and again destroyed the
works. They indicated other
saltworks were in the vicinity.

According to Dr. Daniels,
"Tom is a devout Christian
who travels across the nation
to share how God has done the
impossible in his life by taking
him into the television and
motion picture industry, when
everybody said he was 'too
tall' and 'too thin' to be an.
actor." Tom also starred in
the movie "Benji", which has
been one of the great box-of-
fice attractions of its type in
recent years.
Thursday night will feature

Sharks Falter In Last



Round of Play-offs


Port St. Joe's Sharks roared
into the District Three 2-A
tournament with a thumping
win over the Carter-Parra-
more Lions then were blown
out of contention Saturday
night by Blountstown.
The Sharks humbled the
Lions Friday night, 84-57, with
virtually every man on the
squad shooting in the double
figures.
The Sharks jumped ahead
with a 17-6 lead in the first five
minutes of the game before
the Lions came back to keep
within contention during the
first half.
In the third period, the
Sharks pulled away, and com-
pletely dominated the remain-
der of the game.

Carey Daniels led the
Sharks with 19 points. Preston
Gant added 18, Johnny Jen-
kins 16, Wayne Thomas 12 and
Terry Larry 10. Gant ended up
with 17 rebounds and Jenkins


Aikins collected 24 of Car-
ter-Parramore's 57 points.

Saturday night, the Sharks
met the Blountstown Tigers in
the championship and bowed
60-46 for their third loss to the
Tigers this year.
Only Preston Gant was
pouring the points through the
basket in the usual manner,
but his efforts weren't enough.
The Sharks wound up with a
13-11 season.
Johnny Jenkins was off his


usual pace, but still put 14
points through the nets and
gathered in 12 rebounds for
the night. Gant, with his 25
points and Jenkins were the
only Sharks scoring in double
figures.
The Sharks had a dull first
period, scoring only nine
points and were out-scored by
the Tigers in every period of
the game. The Tigers went
ahead in the game after the
first five minutes of play and
were never behind the rest of
the way.
Hubby Chason paced the
Tigers with 23 points.
