A sure sign that Port St. Joe

ly, "Joe Doaks, City". An address

Man lis the ablggest geological:

:ordingt to Dr. Ienriy P. Becker,
Florida State University Geography
departmentt head*.
,Speaking before an .,audience of.
lulf County foresters, committee
sen and "six grade 'teachers and


school officials last Thursday at
a fish 'dry sponsored by the Gulf
County Fire Prevention Committee
.the professor said that; man's abil-
ity to change the face of the world
could 'be his-greatest asset .br his
biggestliability.
"We haven't begun to realize our
possibilities',. the State Conserva-
tion comiltm.eeman. sal ...-
"A rjnt survey. shower," Dr.
Becker said, that -only one half of
one per cent of Gulf County's land
area is usedto produce harvestable
cropw."
The professor pointed out the
tremendous percentage of the coun-
ty's land which is in forest-89 per
cent according to 1948 figures.
He said that he had heard it said
that the pines of Florida are worth
more than the oils of Texas. Ho
qualified .this by saying that trees
could be grown over and* over
again, but once an oil supply is
depleted then that is it.
He quashed .growing concern
about the ,population increases by
pointing .out that many European
countries have many more times
the population .per 'square mile than
Florida, yet through conservation
-methods are able to keep their re-
sources plentiful and their citizens
prosperous.
To illustrate, .his point he com-
pared Florida with Denmark -
both countries with approximately
fi-ve million populations. Florida
has 91 persons per square mile
whereas Denmark carries three
times that number.
The conservationist said officials
are predicting that by the year
2,000 the United State's population
will have doubled from its present
180 .million, yet he sees no reason
for concern as long as the county's
resources are handled sensibly.
He pointed out .that Gulf 'County
has grown from a 3,182 population
since its beginning in 1925 to 9,935
according to the 1960 census. Be-
tween 1950 ani 1960 the county's
population rose 33 per cent.
Attributed to the local growth
is the paper industry established
here in Port .St. Joe, the doctor
brought out.
Pointing out an opposite trend,
Dr. Becker. said Liberty County's
population has ,been on tVe de-
cline for ithe past 40 years. ,
Dr. Becker used this as an illus-
tration -that the combined forces
of labor, water transport, and raw
materials, which usually mean
growth to a county, do not always

with Mrs. Terry Hinote, president,
,presiding. Thirty members and
guests were present.
A program of flower -arranging
was ably presented by Mrs. Roy
Hallman of Panama City. Since
there are very few flowers avail-
A'ble at this season, she used arti-
ficial flowers. She stated that 'this
type material is colorful and may
play a large part in the decorating
scheme of a room, but should not
take the place of real flowers from
one's .garden.
Mrs. Hallman demonstrated the
equipment needed for assembling
a satisfactory arrangement and the
types of containers available for
use in the home and flower shows.
Eighteen colorful arrangements,
each in a distinctive -design and
ranging from a centerpiece for the
dining room table to hanging bas-
kets and 'wall plaques, suitable for
porch or den. Outstanding among
'the arrangements was one of fruit
and flowers flanked by a pair of
ceramic bird's. This was designed
for use on -a buffet at Thanksgiv-
ing.
A door prize of a pottery contain-
er, was given by Mrs. Hallman to
SMrs. G. L. Kennington. The door
prize given by the club, also a con-
tainer, was drawn by Mrs. Milton,
Anderson.

A Coach Writes. .


(Several years ago Marty
Crowe football and basketball
coach at Pacell H. S. In Austin,
Minn., wrote' a simple, hard-hit-
ting letter that created quite a
stir after it appeared in the
"Austin Herald" and then was
reprinted in the "Minneapolis
Star." Everything in his letter Is
till highly pertinent to coaches
everywhere, and we feel sure
you'll appent a fervent amen af-
ter reading it.-Ed.)
Though I'm beginning my 17th
year as a high school coach, this
is the first time I've written a let-
ter of this kind. I write it now be-
cause I'd like to establish a vital
,point or two before the football

er won a game. But they all had
one thing In common-they were'
made up of pretty good kids.
During football season, those kids
practice and drill and scrimmage
in hot weather, cold weather, in
dust, and in rain. They get knocked
down often, they get hurt a little
sometimes, sometimes they get
bawled out, and sometimes they
lose. But the good ones never quit.
Even when the cause seems hope-
less they go on-wet, dirty, kicked
around, weary-but they go on.
And they deserve the praise and
never the raucous condemnations
of anyone worthy of the name of

pecially an easy one-but I like it.
I -work *at it hard, and that's the
way it should be because my kids
work hard, too.
But frankly, I'm fed up now--
and have been for some time-
with that breed of loud mouth who
doesn't work at it at all-who
wouldn't staiid in the mud at a
rainy practice for five minutes-;
but who has plenty to say and al-
ways says it 'with the volume turn-
ed on all the way.
He lays into the boys-or me-
or both. He isn't really interested
in the team. He's rooting for him-
self. He wants to seem smarter
than the coach. Maybe he is, too.
Anybody is smarter with the sec-
bnd guess. Even a coach can sec-
ond guess himself-in fact, all do.
But for the coach, the second
guess doesn't count.
por example, when a pass is in-
tercepted' few coaches 'ned the
strategist in the tlhrd row to tell
them they'd have been better off it
It ha dnot been thrown. But this
bright kind of lad will tell them
anyhow--very loudly-not because
it will help the team-the damage
is done--but ,because it makes
bright boy seem brighter still.
As far as that kiiid of fan goes,
I've, had it up to here. I think most
other coaches feel the same way.
I'm saying. it.
This Afternoon one of my players
came to see m. He: was almost in
tears. He ha&d a problem a good deal
more serious than how to gain
three yards off left -tackle. I didn't
know the solutiabn to -his problem.
I don't think the curibstone quarter-
backs would have klown -tit either.
But the point Is that. the boy
came to me as many others have-
and as they've come to coaches and
teachers throughout the land. He
came to .me for help, and it's my
job ,to try to help him and I shall
try.
That's the best part of my job
-although by far the hardest.
Any coach worthy of his position
is called upon to try to guide his
boys toward manhood. It isn't easy
and- it never was easy-but many
of the answers come harder rgiht
now than they ever did.
The point is .that it's a good deal
more important for the coach to
Guess right on this kind of thing
than .on a matter of whether to pass
or punt. The loud ones can argue
the point if they want to, but they
can't change it.
Any coach can do that pkrt of his
job best whn she has the respect
of his 'boys; and he can keep the
respect of his boys best when he
isn't assailed with the kind of bom-
bast which tries to picture him as
a simpleton or a fool.
We open our football season to-
night and I hope a large number
of the good people of Austin come
out to the game because we have,
once again, a mighty fine group of
boys who've worked hard getting
ready.
My boys will try to win. So will
I. We may do it. But it we don't I.
wish the wise ones would stay out
of what hair I have left.
My main job Is still to try o
make decent men out of good boys
-in a world where that outcome
is by no means guaranteed.
I'd like the chance to get at it.

A small army of amateur radio
operators is organized and ready
to .man an emergency statewide
communications network in the
event Florida is 'hit by a natural or
manmade disaster.
This amateur radio emergency
corps (AREC) functioned through-
out hurricane Donna's destructive
visit to Florida last year. Radio
furnished the only means of con-
tact with several south Florida ci-
ties which caught the full force of
the storm.
The Florida network, called the
best organized of its kind in the
country, has been re-organized and
greatly expanded since Donna
mainly by two amateur operators
i-George Thurston, a Tallahassee
:television newsman, and Andre'w
Clark, a Miami professional' radic
.operator.
It extends to every major com.
munity in the state. The system is
,due for a full scale test run this
Week, from October 2 through 8,
with 2,000 or more hams expected
to participate.
The emergency will be a simu-
lated hurricane blowing in from
the Atlantic with 150-mile winds.
For the test, the mock storm will
follow the path of an actual hurri-
cane in 1898 which cut across the
peninsula into the Gulf and then
went ashore again in western
Florida. The test will assume at
least gale winds in every county,
to give amateur operators every-
where a real workout.
Local ham operators, who have
assumed the operation of a Gulf

County Civil Defense mobile ra-
dio communications van with Its
Own power system will partici-
pate in the exercise from Friday
noon to Saturday night on a
round-the-clock basis. The Gulf
County hams will erect the port-
able system near the Florida Na-
tional Bank Thursday afternoon.
Hams taking part In the exer-
cise will be A. P. Jackson, Emer-
gency Coordinator for Gulf and
Franklin Counties, Dick Lamber-
son, Harry Brewton, Leo Bergen-
heir, Durel Brigman, Tom Also-
brook, Pope Fendley, Joe Alll-
good and Ken Murphy, along
with a host of citizens' band op-
e orators.
The hams will also have the
cooperation of Civil Defense and
Red Cross personnel in Gulf
County in their simulated emer-
gency.
Everything about the test will
be as near real conditions as pos.
seible. The Miami Weather Bureau
, will issue advisories to the ama-
teur network on the storm. Individ-
Slual operators were asked to run
their equipment for at least part
of the test on electricity from gas.
oline-powered generators, to test
the network's ability to operate
without commercial electricity.
Numerous agencies are joining
the hams in the test. The gover-
nor's office will originate some

municatIons gap left if a disaster
should knock out or overload regu-
lar telephone and telegraph lines.
The key to the system is a five-
channel radio ,tieup which links
six cities-Pensacola, Tallahassee,
Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa 4nd
Miami. In the test and during a
real emergency, each channel is to
be manned continuously by at
least one operator in each of the
six cities who would send and re-
ceive messages.
To illustrate the actual operation
of the system, suppose a hurircane
hit Apalachicola in northwest Flor-
ida and that 100 pints of blood were
needed for the victims. The Apala-
chicola ham could pass the word
along to any of the six key cities
where hams could relay it to some
point where the blood could 'be ob-
tained and sent in.
Actually, Thurston said, most
messages probably would be from
state civil defense and Red Cross
groups. The Red Cross, for exam-
ple, might be asked by persons
outside the disaster area to check
on the safety of relatives in the
* hit city. The Red Cross unit in the
t disaster city would receive the in-
quiry via the network.
Another channel is reserved
mainly for coordinating the net-
work itself and for high .priority
messages dealing with extreme
emergencies. Another is to be used
primarily for civil defense mnes-
sages and weather observer re-
ports. The fourth channel, operated
in. Morse code, would transmit
mostly Red Cross and state govern-
ment messages and weather obser-
vations, and the fifth, a radio tele-
type circuit, still experimental will
carry some Red Cross messages,
and other traffic.
Individual channels in the net-
work have been given warm-up
tests for weeks, but the Oct. 2-8
drill will be the first simultaneous
workout or all.
The amateurs themselves footed
the bill for the network, except
for a few hundred dollars -paid by
the American Radio Relay League,
the nationwide ham organization.
The network is so de-centralized
that it could be operated from vir-
tually anywhere in the state.

"GOD MAKES THE WEATHER CAPTAIN
By LOUISE M. PORTER
For forty-odd years he made them
He made them, fair weather and foul
He ploughed the mountainous Gulf swells
Rode down their unabating hells!
His hand never faltered
His purpose never swerved
His will engraved the furrows
As the gnashing waves rose and fell
Until unwillingly they gave way
To determined Steamer Tarpon's keel!

To the Florida Main from New England
She was old when first she came
Her propellers churned the Gulfstream
For two-score year and more
'Twix Carrabelle and Mobile Bay
She made all Ports of Call
That in the unpredictable crescent lay!
She indelibed her calendered schedule
And never a date skipped by
Captain Barrow's TARPON Whistle
Was more trusted than face of skyl

While other sea-craft were scurrying
For protection to a bronze-river's-arms
Nonchalant TARPON would invaribly be
Sea-heading to weather the storm!
Once, when the elements invaded her
(Lightening lacerated her forwardmast)
It shattered Captain Barrow's stateroom
Splitting it squarely in half
(Portending the lightening be
TARPON'S due
'Twould be her intrepid Master's too!)

Red pennants flying meant naught to him!
Red-pennant-below-red-flag-with-black-
center
Scarce caught this salty Barrow's whim!
Two flags (with-black-centers) flying
The worst storm warning of alll
"HURRICANE IN GULF! ALL SHIPS
TO PORT OF CALL!"
(To Barrow, "A squall men -
only a squall!"

Diversified cargo was her duty
Groceries, naval stores and the like
In olden days when pampered "Black Satin"
Clappety-clopped the promenades
with sound
Other brisk stallions staccatoed
The sharp-edged oyster shells down!
Golden bales of hay freighted the TARPON
To feed all the horses in town!
*- *
Time and the be-leaguered winds


BARROW MAKES THE TRIP'"


Blew ablast the blackened, battered stack
Until Miami, the 'Twenty-six" Hurricane,
rack'd
Then boomeranged across the
belligerent Gulfstream
That Stygian Sunday night Pensacola
assaulting
Slashing Steamer TARPON faithfully at dock
Alongside her plank-wharf afoot Palafox!

(One-hundred-and-sixty-mile,
(the cruel wind!)
Shattered and tattered and ravaged her!
A thousand maniacs screeching in the din!
Screaming in the pitch-night, to do her in!
At the black-fury's height her valiant Master
Steered her out to the mutinous-mid-Sea!
Each, in the other's faith, awaiting
abated weather
THEY RODE-OUT THE TERRIFYING
ELEMENTS TOGETHER!

So goes Steamer TARPON'S Story
Until her last call was history.
A few more years for her unfold
When her fatal Ship's Bell entoll'd
That Windlash that withered and slashed her
In the grey, grisley Gulf as she laboured
her way
From the murkily-churning-Apalachicola .
Off Saint Andrew's Light, t'wards
Mobile Bay -
Like a rapier-sickle it severed her
And left her to drownd neathh the wave
Her Valiant Master tenderly steering her
To harbor within the grieved Gulf's grave!

Her be-jeweled decks asparkle with
phosphorous
Captain Barrow haloed with glittering stars
Is piloting her onward, ever onward!
Have no doubt!
OLD STEAMER TARPON IS STILL -
"RIDING-IT-OUTI"
When the Gulf gives up its
dauntless Captains
And the Last Ship's Call on the wind is borne
Captain Barrow will answer that Summons
With gallant TARPON'S compelling
foghorn!

This is the stubborn TARPON'S saga
Hear it from the Mexican Gulf's
exultant lips!
"GOD MAKES THE WEATHER .
CAPTAIN BARROW MAKES
THE TRIP".
