judged his support in Gulf

didn't show up Monday mor-
ning, he has written off Gulf
County as a lost cause for
support.

Sheriff

Arrests -

Investigates

Sheriff Raymond Lawrence
announced the arrest of Den-
nis Joe Fugatt, who is wanted
by U. S. Army authorities for
desertion. Fugatt was located
at his sister's home in High-
land View last Friday after-
noon.
Gulf County deputies took
the subject into custody and
notified the F.B.I: He. is cur-
rently in the county jail await-
ing pickup by federal authori-
ties.
SHRIMP THEFT
The Sheriff's Department is
also investigating the theft of
400 pounds of shrimp from
Wood's Fishery. The burglary
took place sometime during
the night of Tuesday, April 13.
Value of the shrimp was
placed at $1,567.00 by M. C.
Wood, owner of the seafood
house.


Port St. Joe was granted a
two foot relief Wednesday and
will ask for more. Robert D.
Cassell of Atlanta and John F.
Miller of Washington, D.C.,
charged with the responsibil-
ity of establishing building
elevations for compliance
with flood insurance regula-
tions told the City Commission
yesterday morning the two
feet of relief had been approv-
ed. i
At the first meeting with the
team several months ago, the,
City Commission was told a 12.
foot elevation would be re-
quired, causing builders on
property .west of Long Avenue
to have to build on stilts with
the floor level from four to
eight feet in the air.
The new regulations, de-
livered yesterday by Cassell
and Miller would'require a 10
foot elevation and move the
stilted area over to a line
which runs roughly between
Monument Avenue and the
shoreline.
Mayor Pro-tem Tom S. Col-
dewey told Cassell the City
would in all probability appeal
the decision and ask for even
more relief.
Cassell said, "You can ap-
peal, but the City must pro-
vide evidence to show that the
government figures on flood
possibilities are wrong
The government figures are
predicated on a one percent
chance there will be a fl'oodin
the area of up to 10 feet above
sea levels.
Cassell said elevations ap-
plied to other communities in
the area had a 12 foot re-
* quirement on St 'Joseph Pe-
ninsula, 12 feet at St. Joe
Beach, 11 feet at Mexico
Beach and 10 feet at Panama
City Beach.
Cassell said the elevation
requirements will be imple-
mented by City ordinances.
He pointed out variances can
be given by the City, but all
variances will require a high-
er insurance rate. "In many
cases, the variances will be

Circus In

Town Today
The color, pageantry, ex-
citement and sounds of the
traditional American Circus
will be here today, Thursday,
April 22, as the King Bros.
Three Ring Circus pitches its
mammoth big top by Shark
stadium.
The local appearance of the
circus is being sponsored by
the Port St. Joe Jaycees as a
fund-raising event.
Performances are sche-
duled this afternoon and to-
night at 4:30 and 8:00.


economically prohibitive",
Cassell said.
Presently, all existing struc-
tures will be insured at 25c per
$100 value. New structures
will be charged rates from 25c
to 50c per $100 valuation,


considering the risk involved.
NINE MONTHS
Cassell said that all proce-
dure should be out of the way
and the program into effect in
Port St. Joe within nine
months.


He said their changes an-
nounced Wednesday will be
finalized in about a month and
about two months will be spent
in applying the law to the
community and hearing any
objections. After final ap-


proval, the law will become
effective in six months.
Every new home which is
built after the law goes into
effect will require flood insur-
ance before government in-
sured financing is available.


Schools Get Passing Mark


The State Department of
Education gave the Gulf
County school system a
barely passing grade in its
use of money available- to
educate students in kinder-
garten through third grade
in a news release this week.

cation says Gulf County is

of the pile of 67 counties in.

,cation for the money spent
in these early formative
years of schooling. Accord-
ing to the report, the Coun-
ty is barely above the state
average at a rating of 1.02


on the scale drawn up for
comparing the different
county systems.
The release also stated
that the schools of Calhoun
County were at the top of
the class, making a 1.56 on
their testing. .
A county whose pupils
scored at the predicted
level and whose spending

grading system.

Commissioner Gerald Sullivan last Tuesday

office suite located in the Municipal Hospital.

The prediction of learn-

such as numbers of poor
and minority students.
Gulf County School Sup-
erintendent David Bidwell
was not in town to give his
views on the report. His
office said he would be out
of town for the remainder
of the week when The Star
called for his reactions.

he was uncertain of the

reliability of the factors in
the study and would not
claim his school was far
above others in the state.
Education Commissioner
Ralph Turlington made the
same point in sending to
the legislature the report it
ordered.
"This is still an experi-
mental program which will
be refined and perfected as
we move -with the pro-
, gram',, he said. "In this
first year, the results
should be used most care-
fully and cautiously in
making decisions about
relative standings."


Incumbents

Draw No

Opposition

As things stood at press time
yesterday at 3:00 P.M., City
Commissioners James B.
Roberts and Gerald Sullivan
will go back into office for two
year terms with no opposition.
The deadline for candidates
to qualify for the May 11
Commission election came at
5:00 P.M., yesterday after-
noon, two hours after The Star
had gone to press.
Both Roberts and Sullivan
qualified for re-election.
While it is evident there will
be no candidates listed on the
May 11 ballot, the election will
still be held. A question was to
be placed on the ballot to learn
the will of the people to having
their Commissioners serve
four year terms rather than
the two year terms they have
held in the past.
The question was placed on
the ballot by the unanimous
vote of the Commission. May-
or Frank Pate suggested the
action to allow Commissioners
to serve better and with less
sacrifice to them.
Mayor Pate reasoned that
now a Commissioner needs
practically his full term of
office to fully become aware of
the needs of the City and the
duties and responsibilities of a
Commissioner.


Pine Tree Epidemic Shows Up In Gulf County


A mysterious disease with no known cure
has reached epidemic proportions in the
slash-pine forests of Franklin and Liberty
counties and could pose.a catastrophic threat
to the Big Bend's pulpwood industry.
The disease, known as pine pitch canker,
has attacked an estimated 30,000 acres in the
two counties deep in the heart of the North-
west Florida piney woods, Florida Division of
Forestry officials say.
It has also been reported on an epidemic
scale in Volusia and Flagler counties along
the state's central east coast.
And, according to Charlie Chellman, the
division's chief entomologist, it is present in
every county in the Big Bend and state
although Leon and Holmes counties in North-
west Florida did not show samples of the
infestation in a survey conducted for the U. S.
Forest Service.
"We were told to not look where we knew
the fungus-infected trees were located to keep
the survey unbiased," said Chellman, "but I
have seen it in _the backyards of homes in
Tallahassee.


Gulf County lies right in the middle of an
area which is said to be slightly affected by
the disease. Hugh White, head forester for St.
Joe Paper Company told The Star the disease
has been found in scattered areas throughout.
the county for the past two or three years, but
not to any great extent as yet. White said,
"The disease seems to be found in our county
mostly in planted and fertilized areas. No
wild growth seems to be affected in the county
at yet". White added that the disease doesn't
seem to be spreading in .Gulf.
Forestry Division Director John Bethea,
with more than 30 years experience with the
disease, believes pitch canker represents the
most serious disease ever to strike Florida's
$506 million forest industry.
"Something new has been added," he
said. "It was viewed as a minor pest when it
was first discovered in 1945. But in 1974 it
began spreading and didn't arrest itself and
really exploded last year."
The survey begun in March to show the
extent of the disease in Florida will be avail-
able in May. It is now going through


computers at the U. S. 'Forest Service's
research lab at Durham, N.C.
Chellman said evidence of the disease
was found "just about everywhere we look-
ed."
"It's just something that is quite new in
its present form and we don't know anything
about it," Chellman said. "We don't know its
cause or how it spreads, although we suspect
insects transmit it from tree to tree."
He estimated the disease has infected
350,000 acres of slash-pine stands in central
and north Florida the past two years. It also
poses a threat to the pine tree industries of
Georgia and throughout the South.
Bill Helm, Division Chief of Forest Man-
agement, said Friday the disease poses a
staggering threat to the pine tree economies
of North and Northwest Florida.
He said big timnber companies like Buck-
eye Cellulose and St. Joe Paper as well as the
small private woodland owners who have 55
percent of the state's timber lands are
"praying" that the researchers come up with
a cure.


"That may come in a year or maybe five
years," he said. "And we're talking about $87
million in damages this year by the disease in
Volusia and Flagler counties alone."
Once pitch canker infects a stand of trees,
Chellman said, the mortality rate is at least 10
percent, and another 20 to 25 percent suffer
severe damage.
Although the disease attacks natural
stands of trees, it appears to prefer planted
trees from the fourth year of growth on.
Slash pines usually are allowed to grow
for at least 25 years before they are harvest-
ed.
"One of the first things you notice is the
dying terminal, the uppermost stem at the
extreme top of the tree," said Chellman, "and
then upper lateral branches die back and
there's a copious flow of pitch on the outside
of the tree."
"The disease itself is under the bark.
When you strip the bark away, the wood will
be soaked with pitch."
Besides the death toll to the trees, the
pitch-loaded diseased trees present a fire


hazard, like dripping match sticks just
waiting for a spark.
Chellman said that Monday he intends to
begin a survey of the division's seed
orchards-selected plantings of seedlings
shot down from outstanding pine trees, graft-
ed and raised until they produce pine cone
seeds that form the basis for a superior pine
forest.
"They're really our high value product,"
he said. "Last year the division sold nearly
two million and this year expects to sell 10
million of the improved seedlings. If some-
thing happens to that crop it'll be a serious
loss."
The Flbrida Legislature has a bill in com-
mittee that would appropriate $100,000 to fund
research to discover a cure for the disease.
Helm said Friday another $100,000 has
been requested from the U. S. Forest Service
and the Regional Coastal Coordinating Coun-
cil is to consider a request for quick funds to
get the program started at its meeting May
10.

EDITORIALS:




Legislature Has A


Knotty Problem


The Florida Legislature is being
charged by the people of the state to
do something about the increasing
rates for automobile insurance. The
rates are jumping by leaps and
bounds each year, with increased
charges being added to various
policies for various reasons, such as
minor "fender-bending" accidents.
We cannot see where the Legis-
lature can do very much about the
problem, just as they are in a bind
about reducing taxes. Automobile
rates and taxes are high because of
the demands of the people for
coverage and services which must
be paid for.
In past years, an automobile
accident has almost become a lucky
thing for' the victim. Juries have
rendered payments which were all
out of,, proportion ,to the...damage
suffered. This, of.course,-is what has
caused rates to sky-rocket just as
much as the increased costs involv-
ed in repairs to our automobiles.
Insurance companies do not


have bottomless coffers of money
with which to pay claims just as
government does not have an end-
less supply of money. The money
for payment must come from the
people.
In our view of the matter, the
only thing the Legislature can do to
lower insurance costs is to set
certain limits of compensation for
different kinds of accidents. If a
certain injury will compensate the
victim only so much money, the
rates should be lowered.
We do not believe the current
trend of increasing the base under
which a victim is not able to sue may
help some, but the high costs of
protection will still be with us.
In our opinion, the only hope for
lower insurance posts lies in sensible
damage.verdicts by juries. Until we
demand such, even if it must come
from the instruction of a judge, our
rates will be more than the average
,man can comfortably pay.


The Justice Department is now
urging the Supreme Court to outlaw
segregated private schools that for
years have allowed white parents to
avoid sending their children into
integrated public classrooms.
We think the Justice Depart-
ment is overstepping its bounds in
this area.
Public schools are another mat-
ter: they are paid for with public
funds and the public should be
allowed their use. Private schools
are operated by the people involved
for their own purposes and these
purposes should be respected.
Personally, the only reason we
would ever send our children to a
private school is if they could not get
what they needed in the public
schools or did not have the initiative
to get what they needed out of a
public school situation.
We fail to see where the gov-
ernment has any say-so in a school
situation where they are not called
on to pay part of the bill. If a group of
whites or blacks feel they wish to


send.their children to a school which
is populated by their own race, we
feel it is their business and none of
the Government's.
In our part of the world, most of
the private schools are already
integrated. They are private be-
cause they usually require a student
to behave himself, honestly try to
meet the educational standards and
study. Here in Port St. Joe, the main
criticism of public schools seems to
be the lack of stern discipline and
lack of assigned home work. On the
other hand, the school people decry
the lack of instilled discipline in the
home, which is reflected in the
school, and the lack of guidance in
the home which would make a
homework assignment useless.
So private schools, for the most
part, have valid reasons other than
separation of races for Operating.
We think the government should
leave them alone as long as they are
meeting educational standards and
not abusing the students.


Mason Built

Masterpieces


By CHARLIE WEBB
One of our pioneer brick-
masons was a black man
named Garrison, whose spe-
cialty was brick fireplaces
and chimneys.
The chimneys "draft"-air
currents flowing from the fire-
place up through the chim-
ney-was produced by the
delicate fineness of the brick-
mason's construction ability.


Little heat would escape with
the air currents going up in the
chimney, but very little smoke
would back-draft from the
fireplace into the living room.
A Garrison constructed chim-
ney has an almost perfectly
balanced draft.
Pioneers loved beautiful
fireplaces. Garrison, without
the aid of blueprints, would
.. score a brick with the mason
trowel, then with quick blows
with the trowel upon the irreg-
ularly grained' brick, would
cut artistic shapes to build the
beautiful designs of the fire-
places and hearths. Every


fireplace was different. Every
fireplace was a masterpiece.
Like most men who possess
the beauty and freedom of
imagination, Garrison was a
completely independent man.
Sometimes he would leave a
job, and when located, would
be resting in a homemade
barrel stave hammock
stretched between two trees in
his shady back yard.
His only explanation was,
"the body containing action is
of short duration, and with-
out rest, the brilliant beauty
within the imagination is often
dimmed forever."

students of Mrs. Ela Sutton of
Port St. Joe Elementary were

ETAOIN SHRDLU

By WESLEY R. RAMSEY


Talk about your poetic justice-In the paper
one day last week was a big headline which read,
"Candidates Going Broke". The presidential
candidates were running out of federal money
and were having to get out of the race, use their
own money or shut down their campaigns.
The campaigns up to this point were
financed with federal money and the fund had
run out. The wonder to me is that some
bureaucrat didn't suggest deficit financing and
borrow some money to get the candidates to
running again. They could borrow on presiden-
tial primaries all the way up to the year 2000 and
pay it back at some given time in the future after
that. After all, that's the way the government is
financing revenue sharing to the cities, counties
and states.
,I was glad to see' theeandidates go broke. It
has been a good experience for them. Now they
know what a person is supposed to do when he
runs out of money: he's supposed to quit
spending.
Americans haven't learned much from the
current campaign except that Jimmy Carter has
good teeth, Ronald Reagan still has that old


silver screen magnetism, Gerald Ford still punts
on fourth down and Scoop Jackson is still a blah
speaker in spite of his acting coach who has been
hired to improve his oratory.
That's where your dollar went which you
designated on your income tax return last year.
How'd you like the way it was used?

Editor Malcolm Johnson of the Tallahassee
Democrat was writing the other day about how
powerful unions were becoming.
Johnson was telling about a meeting of
newsmen in Washington, D.C., and a press
conference the editors had for the candidates.
NBC was going to televise the session, but since a
union in the NBC organization was on strike, the
unions advised the candidates not to cross their
picket lines. Before the program began a federal
judge ordered the picket lines removed, charging
the unions with staging an illegal secondary
boycott. The candidates were notified of the
judge's action, but still they failed to come.
When any organization gets so powerful a
presidential candidate will not take a chance on .
incurring its wrath when there's some free,
national exposure involved, the organization is
too powerful.


The $2.00 bill began to circulate again this
past week, with their release by the Treasury
Department on Tuesday of last week. The
"Jeffersons" were put in circulation for some
reason which I haven't been able to fathom as
yet. I remember when the "Jeffersons" were
popular around here. One of the manufacturing
plants used to pay off in the bills every once in a
while to demonstrate their impact on the
community.
Port St. Joe wasn't the last place in the
nation to get the newly released bills. We
collected one here in The Star on Wednesday,
after their release Tuesday. They began to
circulate pretty fast.
But that's the way with money it goes!

The new 200 mile limit at sea for the United
States should have some interesting repercus-
sions in the months and years to come.
Fishermen from all over the world have come to
our shores for years to catch fish. Now they can't
-do it. Gene Raffield tells me. that the waters
surrounding the United States have a greater
fish population than any other nation or island in
the world. He also tells me we import over 70
percent of our canned and processed seafood
products.
The thing which puzzles me is why do we
have such a huge fish population when we are
reported to be killing the sea with our pollution?
The environmentalists say we dump industrial
wastes, sewage wastes, pesticides, fertilizers
and all types of gunk into the oceans which is
killing them. Yet we have the fish population.
How do you figure that?

We now have it from an official scientific
study and observation: woodpeckers don't get
headaches from pounding on trees with their
beaks.
It seems the bird has special equipment for
his pecky job and he suffers no after effects.
This leads me to believe man wasn't created
to work, since he suffers so many pains and
stresses from the activity.

Now it's official. The time changes Saturday
night. We goofed, with a little help, back in
March by telling you the time changed then, but
you can set your clock up an hour Saturday and
be in time with the rest of the nation Sunday
morning.

Control Erosion with Pines


By: Ralph J. Edenfield,
County Forester
One of the best ways to con-
trol erosion in gullies is by
planting trees, the Florida
Division of Forestry, Depart-
ment of Agriculture and Con-.
sumer Service, recommends.
Trees can thrive in the dan-
gerous and unsightly gully
sites and planting cost are low
especially compared with the


benefits derived from them in
holding the escaping soil.
The local office of the Divi-
sion of Forestry can advise the
landowner how he best can put
these trees to work combating
his erosion problems.
In addition, the U. S. Forest
Service has produced a short
guide called "Three Steps in
Planting Trees for Gully Con-

B-r-r-r! Some Hobby!


Recently over 150 students
at the'Port St. Joe Jr.-Sr. High
School Library in a day-long
hobby session listened and
responded enthusiastically to
herpetologist, Robert Jack
Tanner, as they learned about


the evolution of the snake, its
physical structure, its contri-
butions to man, its enemies,
how to recognize the various
species in Florida, and what to
do if bitten by a poisonous
snake.

Many years ago in Maine
there lived an invalid mini-
ster who conducted a
weekly radio program. He
had many listeners. Every
week letters of praise and
thanks were mailed to this
man. His ministry was a
great success-and his fol-
lowers were many.
Very few of his hearers
knew of this minister's per-
sonal predicament. He was
blind, and had been bedrid-
den for 14 years. Yet,
SyNery; .wek hji:,'.messages
.stirred his audiences.
This invalid minister
was able to practice the
fine art of "appreciation".
He appreciated people,
had a concern for others-
and didn't let his own infir-
mities stand in the way.
Those with lack of grati-
tude are ill-and a thankful
person is the healthful per-
son. Appreciation and
thankfulness made this
bedridden man more
healthy than many of his
"well" listeners.

Wheelettes show off cake baked for Rotary. -Star Photo


Rotarians Surprised With


Act of Appreciation


Port St. Joe's Rotarians
were surprised by the Wheel-
ettes, a group, of female
students at Port St. Joe High
School, at their luncheon
meeting last Thursday. The
Wheelettes appeared at the
meeting bearing a huge cake
they had baked for the mem-
bers of the club to top off their
noon day meal.
Cheryl Hatcher acted as
spokesman for the Wheeleftes,
telling the club the cake was a
token of appreciation for the
club's sponsorship and inter-
est during the past school
year.
Gene Raffield, local seafood
producer spoke to the Rotar-
ians at the meeting, telling
them of the scallop operation
which has been a shot in the
arm to the seafood industry on
the Gulf coast during the past
several months.
Raffield said producers
from Carrabelle to Port St.
Joe are using their shrimping
equipment to produce around
$200,000 worth of scallops
weekly. Raffield said produ-
cers are taking advantage of
the bonanza by utilizing mech-
anized shucking equipment
which will shuck out 100

gallons of meat per hour.
"We're talking about taking
care of catches which run up
to 1,000 bushels per day per
boat", Raffield said.
The scallop find seems to be
about 40 miles long off-shore
in the Gulf and appears to be
capable of producing the huge
catches for a long time. "The
find came at a good time",
Raffield said. "The shrimping
is poor at this time of year,
and catchers can use their
same equipment for their
scalloping operations."
"It's hard work", the speak-
er said "and despite the big
money, some shrimpers are
abandoning the operation in


favor of shrimping because
the work is so hard".
Raffield said the $1.75 per
bushel now being paid for the
scallops is attracting boats
from as far away as Steinhat-
chee to this area. "The future
looks good in this product", he
said.
Raffield said the booming
scallop- production has al-
ready instigated an invest-
ment of more than $1 million
in new equipment in Apala-
chicola and Port St. Joe alone,
to harvest and prepare the
scallops for market.
Guest of the club was Dr.
Richard Morley of Gulf Coast
Community College.

Sheriff Speaks

to Merchants


Gulf County Sheriff -Ray-
mond Lawrence presented a
slide program to the Retail
Merchants Division at their
meeting last Friday on shop-
lifting and its tremendous cost
to merchants all "over the
nation.
Information presented by
the program said that over $5
billion in merchandise is lost
eachyear to shoplifters. The
program also pointed out that
merchandise must be marked
up to take this loss into
*consideration, passing the
'cost of theft on to the paying
Customer.
Most shoplifting is done by
teenagers, with the young-
sters accounting for 53 percent
of what is- taken without pay.
Girls make' up 58 percent of
the teen age thiefs. House-
, wives lift the next biggest
percentage of stolen mer-


chandise with professional
shoplifters accounting for only
10 percent.
The narrator of the film said
most shoplifting takes place
between 2:30 and 4:30 in the
afternoon, with self service
supermarkets, variety stores,
jewelry and clothing stores
the favorite targets.
Citizens can help prevent
shoplifting by reporting *any
incident they observe to a
store manager or clerk. The
manager or clerk know how to
proceed from there.
The program pointed out
that penalties range from a
jail term of up to one year for
thefts of under $100 in value
and up to five years for thefts
over $100 in value. A surprise
to everyone present was that a
shoplifter can get a one year
sentence in jail for resisting
after he is caught in the act.

Repairs Being Made


The manufacturer of the aerators in the
settling pond of the Wastewater Treatment plant
has been hard at work for the past three weeks
repairing the components which have begun to
show signs of failure in the superstructure.
The aerators have been hoisted out of the
settling pond, one by one, and stronger base
plates welded into place. In the top photo, one of
the aerators is hoisted on the shore for repairs.
In the bottom photo, Gary Blackman of Hanson's
Welding Service of Mobile, Alabama, welds the
base plate in place.

Annual flowers that provide
bloom soon after planting
offer the Florida gardener an
inexpensive source of garden
color for the summer months.
Some can be planted right
where you want them to bloom
for rich displays of color.
Florida's hot and rainy sum-
mers are tough on many vari-
eties of annuals but others
seem to thrive on the heat. So,
with this important considera-
. tion in mind, here's a selection
of three colorful and relatively
carefree summer annuals.
Marigolds. The wide selec-
tion of marigolds offers the
gardener a real treat. Culture
is very easy, as heat, drought
!and pests are tolerated well by
these flowers. Plants thrive in

By: Dr. Robert J. Black
Ext. Urban Horticulturist
Weeds are common to all
lawngrasses. They increase
the maintenance cost of a
lawn, reduce the land value
and in some cases contribute
to allergies and poisonings.
Weeds compete with all
desirable plants for water,
-utrients and sunlight. They
also harbor insects and di-
seases that might strike lawn-
grasses, trees and shrubs.
Lawns which are properly
maintained are less apt to be
plaqued with weeds. A vigor-
ous growing lawn provides
little area for weed seed to
germinate and will usually
smother out those that do ger-
minate.
The use of chemicals to con-
trol weeds in parks, recrea-
tional and public areas is a
relatively common practice.
Herbicides (weed-killers) are
rapidly being accepted and
there are chemicals available


to control broadleaf weeds and
grasses in lawngrasses,
around trees, ornamental
plants, along ditches and
fence lines, in areas difficult
to maintain with mechanical
equipment and in annual
flowering plant beds.
Before one can effectively
control weeds and grasses he
must first be able to recognize
his weed problem. Weeds can
be classified into three broad
categories. First, there are
the annuals which complete
their life cycle in less than one
year, and they are usually the
easiest to control. There are
the summer annuals, such as
crabgrass, goosegrass and
pigweed. A few common win-
ter annuals are Poa annua,
common chickweed and hen-
bit.
The second category is the
biennials, which require more
than one year, but less than
two years, to complete a life
cycle. Wild carrot and bull


gence herbicides, in combina-
tion with mechanical equip-
ment, are needed for a good
weed control program. Ask
your local county agent about
the proper chemicals to use on
specific weeds.
Calibration of equipment is
an important part of any herb-
icide application. This is sim-
ply making the necessary ad-
justments to the sprayer so
that the proper amount of


thistle are examples of this
group.
The third and most difficult
group to control are the peren-
nials. They live for more than
two years and may possibly
last indefinitely.
Perennials are classified ac-
cording to their method of
reproduction. There are two
types, the simple and the
creeping perennials. Simple
perennials reproduce by seed
only arid examples are dande-
lion, dock, broadleaf plantain
and poke weed. Creeping per-
ennials reproduce by both
seed and vegetative parts and
are the most troublesome to
control. Examples of this
group are wild strawberry,
mouse-ear chickweed, ground
ivy, bermudagrass, nutgrass
and johnsongrass. -
Herbicides can be useful if
applied properly and incor-
porated into the overall weed
control program. Both pre-
emergence and post-emer-


chemical will be applied to a
specific area.
Regardless of the herbicide
used, care should be exer-
cised and the chemical must
be applied in accordance with
instructions on manufactur-
er's label. Also be sure that
the herbicide you buy states
on the label that it can be used
on your particular lawngrass.
Using the incorrect herbicide
on your lawn can seriously
damage it.


while they're most curable.
If you're over 40, make sure
your doctor gives you
a procto as part of your
health.checkup.

Don't Turn

Into An

Accident
Listing some tips on turning,
the Florida Highway Patrol
this week warned drivers not'
to let their actions at intersec-
tions."turn" into an accident.
".Totorfel Eldrige Beach, dir-
ector of the Florida Highway
Patrol said, "The simple act
of turning gets many drivers
into trouble. In making a turn,
as with everything, there is a
right way and a wrong way.
Do it the wrong way and it
may 'turn' into an accident."
1 A major cause of accidents
and "near misses," is that
drivers decide too late that
they want to make a turn.
"Always be prepared to turn
before you get there," he said.
Other errors which get
motorists into trouble are fail-
ing to signal before the turn
and turning from the wrong
lane.
Beach concluded by saying,
"Don't let bad turning habits
turn other drivers against you.

ed a 162 game and 502 series
