If the Senator judged his support in Gulf County by the crowd which didn't show up Monday mor- ning, he has written off Gulf County as a lost cause for support. Funeral services for Mrs. Sophronia Bishop, age 91, of Wewahitchka, were held Wed- nesday at 11:00 a.m. Central time in the United Pentecostal Church in Wewahitchka with Rev. 0. C. Crabtree and Rev.

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.

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. I The Department of Edu- cation says Gulf County is number 17 from the bottom of the pile of 67 counties in. providing an effective edu- ,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 was at the statewide aver- age would receive a rating of 1.0, under the study's grading system. The grading was based oh amount of money spent in the school systems and the results of third grade Drs. Poonai Visit Doctors Parmanand Vijay and Anila Poonai are shown above, talking with City Commissioner Gerald Sullivan last Tuesday evening at a reception held, for the doctors here in Port St. Joe. The doctors were in town to finalize plans for their move to Port St. Joe on July 1 when they will open a practice in an office suite located in the Municipal Hospital. tests on math and commu- nications and predictions of pupils' likelihood of learn- ing. The prediction of learn- ing was based on factors 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. Calhoun County Superin- tend Howard Johnson said he was uncertain of the Dr. Vijay Poonai is a surgeon and physician and Doctor Anila Poonai is an obstretician and gynecologist as well as a general practitioner. Both doctors received their training in'England and Scotland and are currently taking advanced study in Cleveland, Ohio, where Dr. Vijay Poonai is the resident surgeon at St. Francis Hospital. The Poonais will occupy the office in the Hospital for their first year of practice here.' Star photo 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. 15 Cents Per Copy Last Rites Held for Mrs. Sophronia Bishop Im PAGE TWO THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla.

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." Recently fifth grade science students of Mrs. Ela Sutton of Port St. Joe Elementary were assigned the project of build- ing their own musical instru- Killer "K" Waxes Poetic "BIG TWO" I.made a trip on the ship Big Two It was quite a voyage I'm tell- in' you.

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. Jim Roberts STAR Student Maybe in a few hours, he would be back on the job. Often it was a few days, arid sometimes even a week, but he always came back to finish the fireplace masterpiece.. Garrison lived and died without receiving much com- pensation for his wonderful craftsmanship. Perhaps he beautiful freedom of his imag- ination was more prized than the money he received. His was an imagination not shackled with the coldness and poverty of hostility, but a free imagination that helped direct the wonderful hands in creating warmth and rich beauty for his friends cluster- ed happily around the fire- places during the cold winters of long ago.

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.

Every week letters of praise and thanks were mailed to this man. His ministry was a great success-and his fol- lowers were many.

Among the trees recom- mended for gully control are the loblolly pine and slash pine, both of which are found in Florida. Brush dams and grasses can help hold the soil until the pine seedlings can get a start. The trees help hold the gul- lies with their pine straw and litter which traps moving soil and makes a spongy layer to hold the water that ordinarily helps carve the hole. The trees' and grasses' roots also bind the soil into place and the tree tops break the force of the raindrops and reduce "splash erosion".

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 Softball Tournament Next Week A 12-team men's softball tournament will be held in Port St. Joe next weekend, April 30, May 1 and 2.

Director for the tourney is Harry Lowry, who may be contacted at 305 Reid Avenue or by calling 229-9111. 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. MUUEL HK-4UW Cooking with an Amana Radarange Microwave Oven takes only 1/4 of the usual time.

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. THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla.

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.

The Sharks and Owensboro fought it out for nine innings with neither team able to score. The Sharks stranded six runners on second base and a key hit would have won the game.

Shark bats were silenced by the Owensboro left-hander. Ricky Hatcher' and Keef Pettis collected the only Shark hits. St. Joe played Florida High on Saturday aid came away with a 13-9 win.

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. Eleanor Williams (sub) bowl- ed a 162 game and 502 series for Swingers.
