TrIDTY-NINTm YEAR. NUMBER 41 [KE STA Industry Deep Water Port Fine People Safest Beaches in Florida PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA THURSDAY, JUNE 10, 1976 New City Clerk Comes On the Scene Roberts, Sullivan Begin New Terms One new face and two - re-treads, were added to the City Commission meeting Tuesday night as Commis- sioners James B, Roberts and A , tV I ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ H ^ ^ Gerald Sullivan were sworn in to ,office for new two-year terms on the board and new City Clerk Mike Wright was present for his first meeting of SMike Wright, the new City Clerk, is shown at his desk this week as he assumed the duties of former City Clerk, Charles Brock, iwho is stepping down in retirement. Wright comes to this area from Tallahassee where he served as Administra- tive Assistant to Leon County Sheriff Raymond Hamlin. Registration Books Open for Primaries Ip * the Board. Wright is presently working with Clerk Charles Brock, who will be retiring in about two months, getting accustomed to the job and seeing how the City operates. Sullivan and Roberts were sworn in by Brock after all old business had been taken care of. CABLEVISION Robert Newnan, owner of Gulf Cable TV, which serves the Port St. Joe area, was present asking for a change in the ordinance governing his company to be changed grant- ing him an increase in rates. The rates have not been changed since the firm first began to do business here nearly 10 years ago. There was nobody present to protest the increase, which basically was a $1.00 per month increase in service rental and initiation of a late charge. As Newnan advised the Board, he was asking for maximum amounts he could charge, but was not necessar- ily going to charge the allowed rates at this time. He did say he would begin charging the service charge increase if it is granted. Newnan was asking for an installation fee of $25.00; a monthly fee of $6.50, $2.00 for each additional outlet in a home, a $1 50 late charge after 30 days and a $6.00 re-connect charge. The Commission granted the rate structure, which will go into effect after final reading of the ordinance in July. NEW PIER Plans were received and bids will be called for in the next few days for re-construc- tion of the City Pier, which was destroyed last fall by Clerk Charles Brock administers oath of office to Gerald Sullivan and J. B. Roberts Hurricane Eloise. Construction plans were presented to the Board Tues- day, but specifications still must be written before bids can be called for. SNow plans call for the pier to be 30 x 34 feet, with guard rails all around the sides, seats on two sides, a diving board, steps to the water and a fancy little cupola on the top of the four-sided pitched roof. The pier was a popular spot for kids down through the years and the new one will provide, once again, this popu- lar spot for kids to spend their leisure hours. HIRE FOUR The Commission voted to hire four people Tuesday night. '-WWT-. T Mosley, retired re- . cently from St. Joe Paper Company, was hired for three months to work up a cost control program for the Wastewater Treatment Plant. Mosley will also work up a system for determining how charges for services of the plant will be divided, more equitably, between the prime customers, St. Joe Paper, Sylvachen and the City. Three more employees were authorized to work with the Elementary School recreation program this summer. High School graduates will be util- ized in, these, positions,, , WWP PERMIT At a recent meeting the Department of Environmental Regulation scored the City for still not complying with their requirements for operation of the Wastewater Treatment Plant. Their main concern was that there were materials going into the plant which it was not designed to take care of and the water load was (Continued on Page 8) SJPC Employees In Satisfactory Condition Two employees of St. Joe are Robert Charles Larry," Paper Company were age 39 and Terrel Eugene rushed to Municipal Hos- Beard, age 22. pital Saturday morning Their condition is listed about'9:30 and later trans- as satisfactory at press ferred to Bay Memorial time yesterday.

Registration books for the coming primaries are now open at the office of the Supervisor; of Elections, Mrs. Dessie Lee Parker, in the Gulf County Court- house. The books will remain open through July 24.

Principal Ken Herring presented 128 gradu- ating seniors to a capacity house of spectators and par- ents, who received their diplo- mas from Superintendent of Schools, David Bidwell. Students in past years may have distinguished them- selves as champion castiga- tors 'of America, but. the current crop of graduates are proud of America and expres- sed themselves as the high honor graduates extolled the evident virtues of our nation by developing their theme of "Our American Heritage". Speakers were Regina Ellis, Cindy Atkins, Bill Wall, Tam- my Rushing, Janis Schwei- kert, Lisa Melton, Nan Par- ker, Gail Rodgers, Stephen Cloud and Cheryl Hatcher who told those assembled just what was "right" about the United States. Regina Ellis thought that America's freedom lay in the preservation of the four free- tember 28. The non-parti- san judicial primary will be held September 28. The general election is scheduled for November 2. There are presently about 5,500 registered vot- ers in Gulf County. Those who are not now registered may do so while the books are open. doms and the Constitution. "No other nation guarantees all these freedoms", she said. Cindy Atkins spoke of the greatness of three great men, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jeffer- son. "Their example has been reproduced by many leaders over the years", she stated. Bill Wall was particularly proud of our freedom. "We must work to keep it alive", he said. Tammy Rushing felt the spirit of America such as was present at the Alamo and other trying times in our history was what has made America "the greatest coun- try on earth". Gail Rodgers said Ameri- ca's greatness has earned her many friends, allies and sup- porters. "Other countries are concerned over what we do and what happens to us, since our future affects them too". Steve Cloud felt faith in God had been one of the things which has made and kept u.s strong. "Faith in ourselves arid God will preserve our way of life", he stated. Orders Oak Grove Bonds Validated The Gulf County Commis- sion is expected to go out for bids for construction of the Oak Grove Water and Sewer system within the next four to six weeks, with bids to be opened within 90 days accord- ing to the present time sche- dule on the project. Tuesday, the Board receiv- ed official notification in writ- ing that the grant and loan money of $260,000 is now available and the County can begin to move in the project. Their first move was to in- struct attorney William J. Rish to validate the bonds which must be sold under the loan guarantee of $136,300. Rish said he would get on the matter immediately and pre- dicted the project would be at bid within the 90 day schedule. In the meantime, the County will have Florida Engineering Associates at work up-dating their plans, which have al- ready been drawn and paid for and going through the formal-' ity of officially guaranteeing up to $3,700 in county funds each year to back the bonds. The County does not plan to pay out the money: they will merely sign the note for the utility district. The back-up money will be pledged from state revenue sharing money coming into the county. PEST CONTROL BUDGET C. E. Daniell, superinten- dent of the Gulf County Mos- quito Control Department presented his 'budget for the coming year Tuesday, for tentative approval by the Board. Daniell must have a tentative budget into the state office in Jacksonville by June 30 Daniell presented a budget of $125,438.52, which is the same figure as .the current year. Daniell said he is operat- ing within his budget. The Board authorized Daniell to prepare a new financial guide for fiscal'1976-77 not to exceed $132,500. Daniell said he would have the document for the next meeting on June 22 for the Board's tentative appro- val.. DIG! DIG! DIG! Daniell reported further he had been advised by a Depart- ment of Environmental Regu- lations representative to con- tinue digging the drain ditch following George Washington Branch for one more mile. "If we dig any further", Daniell said, "we must get a permit." Daniell said original plans were to dig an additional two and a half miles beyond the limits set by the representa- tive. The drain project is contin- uation of the big ditch on the eastern boundary of the City of Port St. Joe, which is the main drainage outlet for that half of the City. Attorney William J. Rish interjected into the meeting that Ney. Landrum of the Department of Environmental Regulations had said, "keep digging until you hear from me." While all this is going on, 'the county is continuing to dig the ditch. Janis Schweikert, speaking on the flag said, "The flag is just a piece of cloth, but it's the heart, soul and life of America." Lisa Melton pointed to the Statue of Liberty as a symbol to the world that America's goal in the world is to defend liberty. Nan Parker pointed out that the principals of America has withstood -the rigors of 200 years. She felt the greatest asset of the nation's vitality were the deposits made daily to its account by the lives of its people. Cheryl Hatcher closed out the talks by summarizing that the future lies in young people. "Our parents have been good to us", she said. "They have taught us, raised us and loved us. Now it is our responsibility to make sure America will see a good tomorrow through our. lives and the lives of our chil- dren." AWARDS Awards. were presented to several members of the grad- eating class, with five schol- arships to institutions of high- er learning topping the list of awards. Scholarships went to: Scotty White and Aletha Henderson, the W. R. Tapper scholarship award to Gulf Coast Commun- ity College; GCCC scholarship to Lisa Melton and Bill Wall; Kiwanis Club scholarship to Sheila Harper; Jaycee award to Cheryl Hatcher and Navy ROTC scholarship to Eddie Creamer.

Seniors elected to the Stu- dent Hall of Fame were: Nan Parker, Janis Scheikert, Con- nie Redmon, Joni Shores, Andy May, Eddie Creamer, Regina Ellis, Robert Farmer, Ronald Daniels, Sandy San- born, Steve Cloud, Bill Norton and Cheryl Hatcher. This is a familiar scene at graduations as tears are shed for the days that are no more. 15 Cents Per Copy Graduation Speakers Are "Bullish" On America' 1-11" 1rl PAGE TWO THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla.

The spoken word barely asserts; the printed word thoroughly convinces. The spoken word is lost; the printed word remains. 'EDITORIALS: Choosing Is Not the Same As Banning There are thoughts which run through a man's head every mor- ning while shaving other than the usual ones of why not grow a beard and quit this every morning drud- gery of scraping the face, while gingerly trying not to cut the chin or neck. One of these thoughts includ- ed: Is it logical to accuse concerned parents of "banning" or "Burning" school textbooks that are found objectionable? During the past year, parents in West Virginia made the news for objecting to textbooks their children were expected to use in school which dealt too explicitly with sex and other objectionable matters. They were accused of stifling free speech and burning books with their objec- tions to the reading matter their children would be required to read. We think it. was a -matter of selection of books, not the burning of books or banning of literature. We naturally shy away from this prac- tice of censorship. Our Constitution protects our freedom of speech and we defend that. However, what is to prevent this same freedom of'Speech as protect- ing our rights to choose what we read or have our children to read? Is it a freedom of others to force objectionable literature upon us or is it our freedom .not, to read what is objectionable if' we don't want to?. We believe the latter precept holds true. We believe the people in West Virginia and those of us here in Port St. Joe and Gulf bounty are perfect- ly within our rights given by the Constitution to object to literature offered for the .ingestion of our children. If we donft like it, or feel it is not in proper taste or beneficial, we have the perfect right to object, without fear of being accused of going against the tenents of our Constitution. We think the Constitution was written to allow a person the tools necessary to become free, right thinking, responsible citizens of our country. Those pieces of literature which would undermine our morals certainly don't meet this aim. Hubert Humphrey has all but announced his expected candidacy for the Democratic nomination to seek the Presidency of this nation. Late last week he said he .would "reassess" his position against ac- tively campaigning for the Demo- cratic nomination if the front-run- ner, Jimmy Carter, didn't make a strong showing in the Ohio, Califor- nia and New Jersey primaries, scheduled for this past Tuesday. Mr. Humphrey says he thinks Carter should come out of the primaries with from 1,200 to 1,300 delegates to convince him Carter can't be beat for the nomination. Since slightly more than 1,500 dele- gates is all that is needed to win, Humphrey has done as so many of us do. He has assessed the situation so he will arrive at the answer he wants to hear. In the three contests on tap for this week, California is the key state, with its huge number of delegates and its winner-take-all practice. With California's Jerry Brown in the race, it sort of stands to reason Carter will take a back seat to the popular governor. With California in Brown's pocket,' it is almost impos- sible for Carter to come up with the delegates to keep, Humphrey out of the race. Hubert knows this. He also knows that if CArter wins in Brown territory, he had just as well content himself to remaining in the Senate and go back to his Minnesota home periodically and, roll himself a tranquilizer pill in his drug store to forget what might have been. Senator Pat Thomas Is 'Most Effective' Fresh m an Quincy State Senator Pat Thomas was selected by his colleagues of the Florida Sen- ate, prior to adjournment last week, as the "Most Effective First Term Member" of the Florida Senate. The coveted Allen Morris Award, named after the noted journalist and historian, was begun in 1945, when Mr. Morris thought it appropriate that the membership publicly identify their own leadership through secret ballot. In re- cent years, the Awards Pro- gram has been conducted under the auspices of the Florida Publishing Company and continues to convey with it the prestige that its author intended. =?" In response to this high award, Senator Thomas sta- ted, "I atn humbled and grateful that those with whom I serve have .selected me as the "Most Effective First Term Member", but I am continually reminded that without the help of a dedicated College Courses Gulf Coast Community Col- lege has added 28 courses to its original summer schedule. The final summer session, which lasts for six weeks, begins June. 21 but students may register any weekday from 8:30 a.m. 2:30 p.m. in the Registrar's Office. Earl Cochran, vice-presi- dent of Instructional Affairs, noted that the schedule had Been revised "to include many staff and many friends who have helped me so long, nothing could be accomplish- ed.

Additional courses to be taught at the Port St. Joe High School include: "Business and Organizational Manage- ment," (6:30 10 p.m., MW); "Beginning Typing" (6:30 10 p.m., MW); and, "Fundamen- tals of Speech" (6:30 10 p.m., T. Th.). Dr. Lee G. Henderson, Di- rector of the Florida Division of Community Colleges, salut- ed retiring Gulf Coast Com- munity College President, Dr. Richard Morley for 'contribut- ing significantly to the high esteem in which the State's community college system is held nationwide. Dr. Henderson paid this tribute during his visit to the College's District Board of Trustees' regular June meet- ing held at the Gulf County Courthouse, Thursday. "Dr. Morley has been re- sponsible for developing a true feeling of community." Dr. Henderson said, "in both the College and the district it serves." Dr. Henderson also praised the Board for their selection of Dr. Larry W. Tyree, Who will succeed the president of six- teen years July 1, and announ- ced Dr. Tyree's appointment to a statewide educational television advisory commis- sion. Action taken by the Board included the declaration that GCCC presently holds "ade- quate funds' to grant merito- rious service awards this year to College personnel. Any such awards will not be made, however, until after the governor has signed the.1976- 77 State Appropriations Bill into law. Following a report by We- wahitchka Architect, Charles Gaskin, the Board awarded the contract for renovating the. present College Library into a Language Arts Building to Kolmetz Construction Co. of Panama City. Work on the $236,000 project S will be started, although the Board anticipates the possibi- t lity of some delays pending t the acceptable completion of the new Learning Resource Center. The Board voted to approve the appointment of David B. Krause as Director of Student Activities and Counselor, and Sto retain Roy. L. Turner as Clerk-of-the Works for future f College building and renova- tion projects. -The next'regular meeting,:of Sthe Board has been scheduled for July 1' in the College's Gardner Seminar Room.

Woodie Smith, Attorney, Trustees; Dr. Lee G. Henderson, Community College System ETAOIN SHRDLU By WESLEY R. RAMSEY The Florida Legislature has folded its tent and gone home finally. Perhaps they didn't do us too much damage, but they certainly occupied the newspaper columns for the past 90 days and caused periods of discomfort for one group or other at times. Possibly the most unsettled people during the session were the education people who faced serious cut-backs and budget cuts if Senate President Dempsey Barron had prevailed in his suggestions and if he was really serious about what he said. One consensus of opinion is that he was only blowing smoke at Education Commissioner Ralph Tur- lington and flexing his own muscles. Time will tell. It will be a political year here in Florida virtually all year long. Early in the year we had the presidential primaries, which occupied our attention for the first three months of the year; then the Legislative session and now we have Coming up the senii-annual state and county election races which will continue on 'up in to November, when the biggie faces us all t he election for the President of the nation. If anybody thinks summer is a boring time with nothing do except try, vainly, to keep cool, they have another think coming this summer. Too, there will be no chance of keeping cool with the politics heating up to a fever pitch gradually from July to November. Locally, things have already started: they didn't wait until July. Those who think (and we use this word advisedly) they will be qualifying in July are already making contacts, letting it be known they are considering the race for one office or another. The Sheriff's race will probably be a hot one here in Gulf County, with those who don't agree with Sheriff Raymond Lawrence taking their best opportunity-the end of his first term in office-to beat him. Lawrence will be trying just as hard to stay in office. There are rumors that Sammy Patrick, a fixture in the Courthouse, will have opposition this year. It has been many a day since Sammy has had an opponent. His advancing age and his illness of last year has put the hounds on his track, however and there hre those who have the fever to try him. The others in the Courthouse seem safe from opposition with the exception of County Judge David Taunton, who is completing his first stint in office, even though it was an abbreviated term. There is a cloudy spot in the law about whether he will have to run again. His opponents say he has to run; he claims he doesn't. If he doesn't, and he is indeed eligible to serve a full four years, after his election two years ago in an off year for judges, he will be the only judge in the state, running for a four year term in the "small" election year. There are those who are pressing for a decision from the Attorney General on this question, and even that little item should cause some stir in Gulf County during this already-crowded year of election events. In the past, a county officer who ran in an off-year election to fulfill an unexpired term was elected for just that. When the regular term for his office to go before the people for selection rolled around, he had to run for a full term, whether he had served three years or three days. Judge Taunton claims he was elected for four years, which would give him two more years to serve. Three School Board and two County Com- .'. mission members will have to face the voters this year and they are expected to have to face the "turn the rascals out" syndrome which comes up each election year. As editor Orren B. Smith up in Bonifay pointed out about one of his county commissioners this week, those in office may have been elected on the "throw the rascals out" syndrome, but they are now the "rascals" and must face the voters and ask for reinstate- ment on their record of accomplishments. It's a ticklish process. While most of this column got filled up with the coming election, we couldn't let this little tid-bit pass by unnoticed. The Legislature, in its wisdom, for a change, passed a law which okays spanking of an errant student by school teachers. It also spells out how a student is expected to behave in school and draws a line beyond which he cannot transgress without being subject to punishment. I like that. Ids A person should have limits. He has them as an olsF |adult, and a student should begin to learn in school they are there. It's for sure, if he has no limits at home, he will observe none in school -ruit and probably doesn't know limits exist. 1u It The new law also allows schools to assign work to a problem student as punishment.

Commander David Hum- phreys spent Monday and Tuesday of this week measur- ing students for uniforms and . registering them for next year's classes. Approximately 60 students were registered for the program, but admin- istrators are shooting for a mimimum of 100 students for the course. The program will consist of three days of regular class - work and two days of drills .and NJROTC related pro- grams, such as Naval history and customs, military regula- tions, navigation, etc. Any student who wishes to . be registered and measured for uniforms should contact the school office for further -. information.

Around one p.m. last Saturday a report was re- ceived that a table saw had been taken from the Sunny- land Recreation Center on St. Joseph Peninsula. A deputy was still on the scene making inquiries when a passing motorist called the Sheriff's office and reported seeing what looked like a new table saw in the woods near Simmons Bayou. A deputy was dispatched to the scene and the saw, valued at $150.00, wap recovered. It was return- ed to the owner and deputies are continuing their investiga- tion for the persons responsi- ble. MAN RESCUED Sheriff Raymond Lawrence and his department conducted a successful search mission Monday night. At 11:45 p.m., Mrs. J. L. Williams called and reported that her husband was due to return from a fishing trip at 5:00 p.m. and was still not home. Mr. Williams was found around 12:30 a.m. Tues- day morning with a disabled outboard motor. His boat was towed in to the landing and he returned home safely. SMUGGLING WINE The Sheriff also announce the recent arrest of two per- sons for attempting to deliver a bottle of wine to one of the prisoners in the county jail. Lex Allen Lake, of Midland City, Alabama, and a juvenile from Highland View, were charged with delivery of con- traband articles to a county detention facility. This offense is a felony and is punishable by a term in state prison, or a fine, or both. Lake is free on $750 00 bond and the juvenile was released to the Division of Youth Ser- vices. GCCC Students May Register Students may register now for Gulf Coast Community College's second summer ses- sion which begins June 21. Registration is being held in the Registrar's Office week- days from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. for both day and evening students. A special registration ses- sion for evening students will be held Thursday, June 17, from 6:00 8:30 p.m., also in the Registrar's Office. All times are central daylight. According to College Regis- trar, Harold Conrad, "We want to make it as easy as possible for recent high school graduates to transfer smooth- ly into their program of higher education." "Also," he continued, "these extended registration periods should be more con- venient for our many older students who plan to further their formal education while working." The six-week summer ses- sion will conclude July 30 with the last of three commence- ment ceremonies held by the College each year.

It-is in these mar- shes by the sea that the first plantations took form, when landowners discovered that the marshy lowlands along the banks of the Ashley and Cooper Rivers were ideal for growing rice. Few foods seem so fit- ting to South Carolina as pilaus. No doubt, the idea of this rice dish came to South Carolina by early traders from India in the days when Charleston be- came a great seaport. South- erh cooks changed the in- gredients from oil to toma- toes, and cooked it so that the dish came out dry and grehseless. Rice, of course, is the main ingredient in a Pilau- pronounced pelos in Charleston. From there the ingredients vary. greatly. There are pilaus with squab or okra, with tomatoes or eggs, with shrimp or chicken. This version of Charles- ton's Chicken Pilau is a hearty, economical meal-in- itself. The chicken and rice, cooked in chicken broth, are flavored with celery, onion, green pepper, toma- toes, cayenne pepper and bay leaf. Versatile stick Blue Bonnet Margarine is used for sauteing the vegetables and adding rich flavor to this tempting rice dish. Accompanied by a hot bread such as corn bread, Chicken Pilau is ideal for family meals.. mim CHICKEN PILAU 1-1/2 cups sliced celery 3/4 cup coarsely chopped onion 3/4 cup diced green pepper 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) Blue Bonnet Margarine 2 cups chicken broth 1 can (1-pound) tomatoes, undrained 2 teaspoons salt 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 bay leaf 1 (2-1/2-pound) broiler-fryer, cut in serving pieces 1-1/2 cups uncooked rice Chopped parsley Saute celery, onion and green pepper lightly in margarine in Dutch oven for about 5 minutes. Stir in chicken broth, tomatoes, salt, cayenne pepper and bay leaf. Add chicken'. Cover; cook over medium heat until chicken is par- tially cooked, about 20 min- utes. Stir in rice. Cover; cook over low heat for about 25 minutes. Remove cover; cook until'rice and chicken are tender and liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Arrange chicken and rice in large serving dish. Garnish with chopped parsley.

St. Joe Paper" Company is responsible for most of the volume overage and some of the improper solids getting into the system, according to the DER. At times St. Joe Paper has volume of over 42 million gallons per day, with lime and fiber getting into the system. DER says this shouldn't be. The problem is also concerning St. Joe Paper Company, since such losses costs them money. DER representative P. J. Doherty, advised the St. Joe Paper Company to write them and the City and tell of plans to come in compliance and how they planned to do so. .This past month, the paper firm got off a letter to DER saying they were installing additional flow meters to pro- perly measure their effluent, were taking measures to pre- vent the fiber and lime from getting into the system, outlin- ing what their plans were. They also said they were working on a system to re- cover more of the water from their bleach plant, which is causing all the trouble with volume. The problem was that the paper company's estimate for accomplishment of these cor- rections was estimated as April 30, 1977. The DER wrote back this week and said the compliance date should be set at January 1. In addition, they advised installation of flow meters by St. Joe Paper to measure their flows accurately. The City Commission will meet with representatives of St. Joe Paper and Sylvachem Monday afternoon to discuss the difficulty and discuss par- celling out of charge percent- ages.

County Agent Will Check Your Soil; Advise On Needs By Dr. Robert J. Black Ext. Urban Horticulturist Soil tests serve as a valuable guide for fertilization prac- tices. Such tests generally in- dicate the amounts of avail- able phosphorous, potassium, calcium and magnesium in a soil. In addition, the pH (acid- ity or alkalinity) of a soil is also determined. Trained soil technologist interpret results of soil tests and recommend what fertilization practices are necessary to produce a desired effect. At times, a soil may be too alkaline, and it is necessary that an acidifying agent be added to the soil. Such acidify- ing agents are sulfur, iron sulfate, aluminum sulfate and others. In many instances only a slight reduction in reaction is needed. In such cases, the use of an acid peat in the soil .and adding acid-forming ferti- lizers will usually do the trick. Agricultural lime or dolo- mite is used to increase the pH, or "sweeten" the soil. The only way to know what should be added to a soil to change the pH is to have a soil test conducted. It is a mistake to try to adjust the pH without knowing what is needed and in what quantity. We often hear of gardeners who add lime to their soil almost every year. .in most cases, the lime is not needed and an undesirably high degree of alkalinity is reached. Thinking that they have not added enough lime, they heap more onto the soil making a bad situation even worse. This practice is like adding gasoline to a fire to put it out. All we are really trying to point out is this-don't guess-soil test. Your guess may be wrong or completely out of proportion as to the amount of material you really ned. Many gardeners are desir- ous of soil tests when suddenly a plant dies or seems to be on the brink of doing so. After growing well for a period of years a plant will not suddenly wilt and die due to malnutri- tion. More often the reverse is ,rue, that is, too much fertili- zer has been placed about the plant resulting in death of the root system. It is rare indeed, to find a garden soil so low in nutrients as to cause the death 14 of a plant. Some things soil tests do not *tell you are the presence of insect or disease organisms and lack of water or too much water. In many instances, the sudden death of a plant can be attributed to one of these fac- tors. Poor drainage, particu- larly during wet weather, is one of the major causes of plant decline or death. We often forget that oxygen is needed in greater amounts than other elements such .as nitrogen, phosphorus, potas- sium, etc. Wet soils contain little oxygen which is avail- able to the roots. When this condition exists, the plant's root system ceases to perform its vital function of absorbing water and nutrients from the soil. If this water-logged con- dition persists the root system will due, resulting in death of the entire plant. Another thing not ordinarily revealed is the presence of herbicides or weed killers. The indiscriminate use of these chemicals .often results in sudden death of plants. The presence of nematodes in the soil will not be revealed by ordinary soil testing. These microscopic worm-like ani- mals damage plants by feed- ing on their root systems. Af- fected roots appear shriveled, blackened and stubby and there generally will be an ab- sence of white feeder roots.

If none of these problems exist, then have your soil tested. Cubie Laird, local County Extension Agent will conduct soil tests for anyone desiring them.

Colonel Eldrige Beach, Pat- rol director said, "A study of traffic crashes for the month of January over the last three years indicates that drivers had been drinking in 1,862 crashes in 1974; 2,111 crashes in 1975 and 2,228 crashes in 1976." The records also indicate that speeding too fast for con- ditions which for many years was one of the leading causes of traffic crashes was listed as contributing to 1,121 in Jan- uary 1974; 1,087 in January 1975 and 1,138 in January 1976. This is about one-half of the totals listed for drinking and driving. Other totals pointed out in the special January study were total crashes 1974 (22,- 354); 1975 (24,640) and 1976 (23,397). Fatal accidents in January were 1974 (162); 1975 (142) and 1976 (150). Beach concluded by advis- ing drivers that speeding is bad enough but mixing alcohol with speed usually is cause for one to become one of the above statistics. THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla.
