Not To Gc Into Effect Until Present

Construction Work Is Completed

The City Commission of Port St. Joe laid the groundwork for
passing an ordinance Tuesday night to require residences within the
City Limits to use the city sewage disposal system. The City has
been doing some sewer construction work throughout the city and is
now attempting to pass the ordinance requiring its use.


Dr. Booker Talks

To Rotary Club

Dr. Ted Booker, president of the
Gulf Coast Community College in
Panama City gave the Rotary Club
a little insight on the place of the
Junior or Community College in the
State's 'University system last
Thursday noon.
Dr. Booker gave a short history
of the Junior College. The idea is
fairly new, the first college being
established in Joliet, Ill about 50
years ago to relieve crowded con-
ditions at the University of Chi-
cago. As a result of this successful
venture the Junior College move-
ment has spread across the nation.
Dr. Booker declared that Junior
College students get the same cour-
ses as University students do in
their first two years. "They get
better teaching than at a univer-
sity," Dr. Booker said, "because the
teachers are hired on their ability
to teach and not their ability or


The Ordinance was presented for
its reading Tuesday night and was
passed unanimously by all those
present.
While the Ordinance will not go
into effect for some six months it
is deisgned to go into operation
just as soon as current sewer ex-
pansion work by the City has been
completed.
The sewer expansion system by
the city has seen sewer facilities
go into the Long Avenue section
from 16th Street to the High
School; along Monument Avenue to
the Municipal Hospital; Marvin
Avenue from 16th Street to 18th
Street; Garrison Avenue from 1%th
Street to 20th Street and all of
Wescott Circle and current sewer
work now under construction in
the Colored section of the city.
As soon as the sewer project in
the Colored section is completed in
approximately two months, the Or-
dinance will go 'into effect, provid-
ed it passes the required number
of readings.
The Ordinance requires that all
residences in the City limits will

Booker declared that the tuition
and expense of attending Junior
College is about one third that of
attending the university while the
net results from subjects offered
were the same.
Guests of the club were Buck
Ganley of Baltimore, Md., Bill Buz-
zett of Apalachicola, Dr. Bruce Wil-
son of Panama City and Ernest
Wimberly.

"Best Medicine In

The World"-Core

George Core gave the Kiwanis
Club an intimate insight of his
hobby-turkey hunting- at their
regular meeting Tuesday. George
called his hobby "The best medicine
on earth".
Core was speaking relatively of
everybody's hobby, no matter what
it might be, when he was giving
the requirements of a good turkey
hunter. "Know your subject, stu-
,dy its habits and pursue with un-
dying patience" was Core's recipe
for a successful and relaxing hobby.
!It is well known in Gulf County
that George is one of the county's
best turkey hunters. He gave the
club a little insight on some of the
living habits of the game bird and
told of some of its ways that a
hunter must learn before he can
have any luck on its game.
He displayed some of his turkey
callers-a piece of bone, a leave
and a horseshoe-shaped piece of
lead with a piece of rubber band
stretched across it. "They look like
junk", he said, 'but they will call
a turkey".
His humorous account of some
of his hunting experiences and of
his envied success with the bird
kept the club entertained.
Dave May was taken into the
club as a new member.
Guests of the club were Steve
Whealton, Leo Punt, Larry Porter
and Don Gardner.

Florida Operators
Run 941 Shrimp Boats
According to a list just compiled
by the State Board of Conservation,
Florida has 941 shrimp boats in
operation. The boat roster comes
from shrimp landing permits which
every shrimper is required to carry
before he can sell his catch.
The boats, registered with the
Conservation agency in Tallahas-
-see, have such names as Campeche
Gal, Col. Lindbergh, and Snafu. As
might be expected, girls names are
in the majority with 68 boats be-
ginning with "Miss." Elizabeth is
the most popular girl's name, five
boats given this title; and George
is painted on five other boats to
lead boy's names. Names like
Myrna Loy, Old Crow, and Pequod
give some clue as to the interest
of their owners.
Almost half of the shrimp boats
list home ports in other states,
North Carolina being in the major-
ity. There are a number from New
York and Louisiana.
The State Board of Conservation
responsible for salt water fishing
practices, says that shrimp are the
most important product of Florida
waters, a $22 million a year busi-
ness. Most of the shrimp off these
coasts come from the Dry Tortugas,
near Key West. The conservation
agency has been directed by the
legislature to close this area when-
ever the catch averages fewer than
50 beheaded shrimp to the pound.

Miami Editor Recognizes Northwest
Florida As A Part of The State
(One of the favorite complaints of the people of the
formerly "strictly piney woods' section of Northwest Florida
is that the Southern part of the State doesn't realize that we
are quickly coming of age. In the minds of many and of
actual fact in many cases Northwest Florida is more or
less crossed off the State by many South Florida people as
being a liability of the State. Recently, Bill Baggs, in his
column in the Miami News, recognized Northwest Florida
for what it is a hustling, bustling section of an equally
active State. We reprint his comments below.)
Some of these days, perhaps in this century, a great dis-
covery is going to be made in Florida.
The people of South Florida are going to find out that the
people of North Florida are not selfish rubes.
And, the people of North Florida are going to find out the
people of South Florida are not greedy city slickers.
Thus will end, upon this discovery, the bearded myth that
Florida is composed of two parts, one being North Florida and
the other South Florida.
Nearer the truth would be that the two parts of Florida
are the "large counties" and the "small counties". This, however,
is being changed by time. Counties which were small are now
becoming large. They are being introduced to the problems which
visit the larger, urban counties.
Brevard County, for instance. /:
HUNGRY POLITICIANS .
Ten years ago, one might expect Brevard to suspect large
applications tf state road money to build roads in Dade County.
Not today. The road problem in Brevard is as tedious as the
road problem of Dade. Perhaps more so.
The same is true of the growth of many other counties
in this state.
With more than a little accuracy, one could say that the
makers of this myth of North and South Florida were mostly
politicians. Of a certain breed. In some cases, the politicians
were hungry for an issue, and this one came down the drain as
if from Heaven. Out in a small, rural county, the politician could
wiggle a finger in the general direction of Dade and bellow:
"Those city people from New York who live down there are
trying to take over this state."
This sentiment made its im B ression

It's like getting back 15 on every gas dollar!


Here's the biggest savings story of the
year And here's why.
It all starts with Ford's new dream of a
drive called Cruise-O-Matic ... the newest,
most versatile, most automatic of them alll
Two new driving ranges let you choose your
starts for the road conditions that exist. For
example, in most of the driving you'll do,
you can take off lively as a spring lamb if
you wish. And on snow, ice or any slippery
road surface, with the extra driving range
you can get sure-footed starts that are
steady and silky-smooth.
Now, team this all-new automatic with
Ford's new Thunderbird-powered V-8


(with up to 300 hp) and you get as much
as 15% better gas mileage, too! That's be-
cause a special gas-saving rear axle ratio
is used to give you all the savings of "built-
in" overdrive economy.
And based on factory suggested retail
delivered prices, a Cruise-O-Matic Ford is
priced lowest of the low-price three with
comparable equipment.
So, with Thunderbird go .. down-to-
earth gas savings plus Ford's tradition-
ally low prices and high resale return .
you have the best reasons in the world to
make yourself a deal on a beautiful new
Cruise-O-Matic Fordl

State Pays Big
"Lawn Mowing" Bill

If you think it costs a lot to keep
your lawn trimmed regularly, just
think what it cost the State Road
Department 'to keep the grass along
our highways mowed.
ILast year it cost almost $800,000
to keep the rights of way along
more than 14,000 miles of primary
and secondary highways neatly
mowed, according to records of the
Road Department's maintenance
division, directed by assistant Sftate
Highway Engineer R. C. Banner-
man, Jr.
This tremendous job of grass
cutting took 194 mowing units a
distance equivalent to about 26
times around the earth.
'Maintenance engineers estimated
that 150,000 square acres of grass
adjacent to state highways was
mowed an average of three times-
or the equivalent of a 6 ft. wide
strip of grass 650,000 miles long.

National Institutes of Health
Bethesda, Md.
Dear Sunshiners:
This is a second try for this col-
umn first one: quote: "under
par too metabolic". Name of my cri-


R. G. BOYLES


tic is being with-
held for economic
reasons doubt
if another one
could be had for
the same money
. in fact quite
impossible, a nd
sometimes its bet-
ter to eat crow
ind keep on writ-
ing! So, here I sit,
pulling my thin-


ning hair for a non-metabolic, up to
par production, and asking who,
,what when and where! Anyway, I
ran across a formula for achieving
happiness suggested by William
Henry Channing, Chaplain of the
House of Representatives in the
middle of the 19th century:
"To live content with small
means; to seek elegance rather
than luxury, and refinement ra-
ther than fashion; to be worthy
to study hard, think quietly,
talk gently, act frankly; to listen
to the stars and birds, to babes
and sages with open heart; to
bear all cheerfully, do all bravely,
await occasions, hurry never; in
a word to let the spiritual, unbid-
den and unconscious, grow up
'through the common."
Sometimes I wonder if we are
disregarding some of the older for-
mulas in these days of jets and
satellites. Is speed might and pow-
er the real answer for our security
and happiness as a nation? If that
be true would it not apply to the
individual also? Do you think it
possible that we could be barking
up the wrong tree? Do you think
we hav ea need to conquer the
moon, planets, and stars? Will the
winner of this race actually be the
most powerful and dominating force
in this world. Will man made ma-
chines and weapons decide the fu-
ture course of this world? Is it any
small wonder that the inhabitants
of this wonderful world are anx-
ious and jittery? Does our hope for
peace, security and happiness burn
brightly and rest easy in scientific
discovery and accomplishment? Can
these questions be answered with
a yes or no, or will it take pages
and pages to explain and qualify
the answer?
Now, I'm wondering how I got
so serious all at once maybe
the need to answer these questions
for me? Well, friends in Northwest
Florida how about giving me a lift?
For every answer you'll receive a
three cent stamped envelope plus
this writer's thanks. Your answer
might be published with your
permission.
Let me also call your attention
to the fact you'll discover some of
the most exhilirating styles and
buys of the season at Boyles, the
Happy Cash Store (my wife reports
she has never seen merchandise
roll in so fast). Heard you had a
little extra rest last week and it's
pleasing to hear over the grapevine
that many took advantage of this
breathing spell to Cash In at Boyles
. giving us some of the BEST
days of the year. Thanks again, for
your loyalty and patronage! The
old adage: "It's an ill wind that
blows nobody good" is still at work.
Things may get a little tough at
times but I'll make a bet we'll all
keep on eating, wearing clothes,
*buying and selling and just doing
the things that come naturally. Any-
way you take it, it's sort of an up
and down proposition that aver-
ages out well over a period of time.
And it's my time to close this
rambling. S'long until next time.

A group collected pictures of mo-

work to find out how each machine
works since we are not familiar

Our librarian, Mrs. Geddie, has
helped us plan an exhibit of books

We are becoming more interested

NEWS FROM SPANISH CLASS
Something new is happening in
the Port St. Joe Elementary School.
We have started a course in :Span-
ish with Mrs. Helen Burkett as
teacher.
Our reading teacher, Mrs. Bur-
kett told us back in December hat
there was a surprise in store for
us beginning the sceond semester.
Of course we could hardly wait to
find out what it was. Some even
thought it might be a test. In fact,
we didn't know what to think. One
day before our Christmas holidays,
she told us what the surprise would
be-that we would have a Spanish
class instead of a reading class for
the remainder of the year. Oh, we
looked forward to this new exper-
ience.
"Buenos dias muchachos (Good
morning boys and 'girls). We repy
"Buenos dias Senora". (Good morn-
ing teacher). This is the way we
start our Spanish class each morn-
ing. We use recordings in connec-
tion with the translations in order
to get the correct pronunciations.
This way we are learning to speak
like real Spaniards. "Adios hasta
la vista ('Goodbye, until I see you
again).


Garden Notes

[Don't forget to water trees and
shrubs that are still alive. Aza-
eas, camellias and other orna-
mentals are suffering as much from
broughtt as from cold, so run the
lose at their roots until the earth
s saturated all the way down.
In planting shrubs, get water to
oots. Newly planted shrubs need
ample water to get established.
Sprinkling the top of the ground is
lot helping. Place hose at roots and
et it run gently for a long time or
.ntil soil is thoroughly soaked. A
soil soaker hose is useful for this
ype watering.
