County Commission some two years ago and to recover public expenses, Tapper said the Judge had made and paid for with public money in making- his accusations. This time around, it is the Judge sueing Tapper for "malicious prosecution"'. Taunton contends Tappet "filed his earlier suit against Taunton for publicity and "to cause me undue expense and duress," . Tapper says he dropped his Tapper suit "after- leaving it in the courts for nearly a year. Taunton says the case was Thrown out of court. "We simply didn't answer at a given time and the suit died", said one of Tapper's attorneys Robert M. Moore. Moore said he has since asked for a re-hearing of the case. There is no' dollar 'amount listed in the suit papers which have been filed here in Circuit Court at the Courthouse in Port St. Joe.

A lack of wood will in all likelihood shut down the operations of St. Joe Paper Company within the next few days according to Robert Nedley and Hugh White, paper company executives. Nedley told The Star Tuesday the mill would. operate at least through this week end and "as far into the week as we can". Nedley said the mill management would take another look at the situation early next week and make a. decision. "We're operating from day to day now", Nedley said. As the photograph above shows, there is now not one stick of wood on the mill's huge wood lot. SDliveries early through the night'and earlyinrrthe' day make a small pile, but it is all gone by mid-day, with nothing left in wood storage except the huge pile of wood chips shown in the background, which isn't all that. huge, with the mill running full capacity as it has been doing most of this year. What's the problem? Why is there no wood? Hugh White, wood procurement agent for the Paper Company, says it is due to a shortage of wood cutters. "We're getting 25 percent more wood now than we did last year", White said, "and still, it can't keep up with our present demands. We're running wide-out and so is every other mnill in this area. Tley are having the same problems as we are. We're all in the same boat Many have shut, down foi periods of time because of lack of wood." '"It isn't a matter of price," White said. "There has been an increase in the price of wood paid, but still there is more demand than there is supply. The wood is available, but there are not enough men available to cut it." . White said wood deliveries to the local mill have been constant, even above last year, but production is also up; even.';more than the wood supply. White said, "I feel we'll have to shut down soon for'a lack of wood. Other mills are having to do it and it seems we have no alternative." White said the paper market is very good at this time and all mills are running at capacity. "That situation puts a terrible strain on the current wood suppliers", White said. White pointed out that for the -past two years, the local mill has run. at two-thirds of capacity and the wood procurement was geared to supply this need. Now, the need is greater. "The wood is there, but we can't get it cut; it's as simple as that", White said. Are Arabs Coming?. Making Plans for Complete New City In South Gulf County Tom Sawyer Tom Sawyer became the idol of millions of boys throughout the world with his expertise in getting his friends to do his chore .4f painting "Aunt Polly's" fence while -making the boys think he was doing them a favor to let them do his work for him. Moulton * *. > ,,.. ._- *- -. Freeman pulled a "Tom Sawyer" this week by "letting" his wife paint the fence around their house on Seventh Street. Moulton kept his wife entertained by talking to her while she painted. He did go far enough to make her comfortable by providing her with a stool to sit on. You will notice that Moulton has a cushion on his stool. We can't but wonder who would be sitting down if the Freeman's had only one stool. -Star photo There will be a new city of 10,000 housing units south of Port St. Joe, here in Gulf County, if a project revealed to the County Commission by Florida Engineers' president Robert Nations comes true. Nations revealed to the Commission that "99 percent of the deal has been complet- ed" to sell the property in the Indian Pass area, owned by Shellbilt Development Com- pany of New York to Arab developers. Nations said the Arab company says they have plans to build a complete new city in the south Gulf County area. According to Nations, his firm has been retained to work on the project and lay it out. Nations' reason for com- ing before the Commission with the project Tuesday night was to receive their approval of the concept. This means the County doesn't mind if the developers plan a city on the site. All restrictions will have to be adherred to in the design. Nations said the city would encompass some 4,000 acres and contain 10,000 housing units, school sites, sewage and water treatment facilities, solid waste compaction, hospi- tal, recreation, 4,000 foot air- strip and a complete business community. "This won't be a subdivi- sion", Nations stressed, "It will be A complete new city." The engineer told the Com- mission the land deal is still in the bargaining stage, but a contract has been tentatively approved by the parties. "The contract is due for closing on January 2", Nations said. NEW BUILDING Wewahitchka will get a new t ambulance service building in the near future. Tuesday night, the County Commission accepted the bid of Griffin Construction Company of Blountstown to build the three bay building at a total cost of $54,353, on a piece of land donated to the county for this purpose, near David Rich's IGA in Wewahitchka. The- new building will be built of concrete block and brick on the outside. Inside will be the three ambulance bays and a meeting room. Kolmetz Construction Com- pany of Panama City was the low bidder by $63.00, but .the only thing left to do was to secure approval of Farmer's Home Administration, who has financed the project. After their approval, the project can be wrapped up as complete. PARKS, BOAT RAMPS The Department of Trans- portation 'was successful in giving the County a gift Tues- The Board of County Commission, in its regular meeting Tuesday night, officially 'adopted a resolution opposing the adoption of Proposition 9 on the November ballot. Proposition 9 would allow casino gambling on the Gold Coast of Florida in the Miami, Miami Beach and Hollywood areas. The Commission was unanimous in its adoption of the resolution which cites the unsavory character which would come to Florida if the Proposition, a Constitutional Amendment, was voted in. The Proposition is being introduced at the request of the large hotel owners in the Gold Coast area and they are waging an extensive campaign for its adoption. Governor Reubin Askew is waging a campaign to defeat the Proposi- tion. Commission took the Griffin bid because, in their words, "We have had a better work- ing relationship with Griffin in projects he has built for the county." In other real estate develop- ment matters currently un- derway in the county, Nations reported that equipment would be moving onto the site late this week to begin instal- lation of a water and sewer system in the new Gulf Aire Subdivision near Beacon Hill. Following the sanitary instal- lations, power'and telephone people will follow with their installations. "Plans are to have the utilities in and the streets paved by the end of. Febru- ary", Nations said. He went on to say there would be no building started until this work is completed. Nations presented his final approval of the Oak Grove Water and Sewer project to the County and pointed out the day night. The DOT sent a letter to the Commission stat- ing they would either give the boat ramp at the White City bridge and the wayside park at West Arm bridge on the Dead Lakes to the county or shut them down. The Commission was unani- mous in its desires to see both these recreation facilities re- main in operation and so agreed to accept responsibil- ity for their operation and maintenance. OTHER BUSINESS In other business matters, the Board: -Advised a delegation from Cypress Avenue to approach the City of Port St. Joe concerning the paving of their street. Commissioner Billy Branch suggested the County would pave the street if the City would purchase the oil and slag to do the job. -Announced that insurance was now available for ambu- lance squad members and White City, Beaches and High- land View volunteer firemen. The insurance provides $20,- 000 for accidental death, $15,- 000 for accidental medical care, $100 a month for life for disability and $50 a month for life for partial disability. -The Board agreed to sign 7 with the Apalachee Develop- ment Council to work up the County's comprehensive plan. Represents The Nation About the time The Star was rolling its presses with last Hallowe'en Carny Saturday The Port St. Joe Elemen- tary School will hold their annual Halloween Carnival this Saturday, Oct. 28 from 1:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. This year a lot of new fun things to do have been added including a Haunted House and a parade. The parade begins down- town in front of the St. Joe Paper Co. office building at 12:30 p.m., so please come out and enjoy the fun. week's edition on Wednesday afternoon, George G. Tapper of Port St. Joe was answering the telephone. On the other end of the telephone was President Jim- my Carter, asking Tapper to be one of his special represen- tatives to attend the corona- tion of Pope John Paul II in Rome, Italy Sunday. Tapper, a Gulf County in- dustrial leader and a former Florida senator, was selected by the President as one of five representatives from the Uni- ted States to represent the nation at the coronation. Also named to the delega- tion were Senator Edmuiind Muskie, House Speaker Tho- mas (Tip) O'Neill, former New York Mayor Robert Wag- ner and National Defense official Zbigniew Brzezinski. Tapper left Port St. Joe last Friday morning to fly to Washington, D.C., where he would join the others in the group and be flown to Rome in Air Force I, the President's personal plane. He was to return to Port St. Joe Tuesday. Tapper has been an active lay leader in the St. Joseph Catholic church for several years and has been active iV Diocese activities. In 1959 he was granted an audience by then Pope John 22nd and was knighted in the Order of St. Gregory by the Pope. L - - Editorials... Florida Power You Need Us -I Since we learned that there is a possibility Florida Power Corpora- tion may build a huge power plant in the Port St. Joe area, everyone has *been on pins and needles wondering just where this decision stands. Evidently, Florida Power has not yet made a decision and so, must still be weighing the pros and cons of Sthe places they have under consid- eration. We would like to help them 'come to a conclusion by giving several reasons why the plant should be located here in the Port St. Joe 'vicinity. v Foremost in our reasoning is that we would like to have the plant ;here because we could use the jobs. : Other reasons, which Florida SPower will most surely consider in :making their decisions are that we have the land available, we have the water needed to use in the power making process, we have the harbor to offload their fuel (coal), we have .an abundant labor supply in this area and we are the end of the line in i their power system,- which would give this end of the system a more dependable power supply. There are acres and acres of land available in the area along the .FGrulf County Canal where rumor has it, Florida Power is making a study. There are no nearby obstructions in the way of their planned construc- tion. The land in question is right on the banks of a nation-wide inland YouMt While we feel better now about F the ultimate failure of the casino Gambling question at the polls in' Florida in November, we are by no : means confident of its failure. We 'feel more confident after attending the annual meeting of the I Florida League of Cities in Holly- E wood last weekend and seeing our local City Commission join 'with many other City representatives 7 from across the state vote over- whelmingly to oppose Proposition 9 in the State of Florida. This was : done on the home grounds of those- who are so vehemently in favor of passage of the Proposition. We still have apprehension be- Imitation Every time someone comes up with an idea, there is bound to be others to make cheaper copies and sell them for less. Last week, The Star had an article about the enterprising young man from out in Seattle, Washington, who had hit upon the idea of marketing the "Pet Cow Chip" and we Need You waterway, giving them cheap trans- portation to the entire middle sec- tion of the United States. Gulf County is blessed with a plentiful water supply, which should be more than adequate to meet Florida Power's needs. This in- cludes water for shipping and for use in their power making process. We have the best harbor in the South right here in Port St. Joe available to take care of their fuel shipment needs with little modifica- tion. There would be no scrambling around for shipping space or facili- ties. We have an adequate labor supply leaving Gulf County every year to hunt jobs elsewhere to fill the needs of any manufacturing facility as has been described. We have numerous bright young people who would be a credit to any manufactur- ing concern who would fill their needs capably. Their considerable talents are now being scattered to the four winds. A power plant "here would be within easy access to the southern power grid which would tie the Florida Power system into the entire southeastern United States and give the utility a more dependable power system as well as providing ade- quate power for the growth of this area. We need you, Florida Power, and we like to think you need us. ist Vote cause there'is the definite possibility that apathy among those who wish to see its'def6at could very well mean its passage. . Have no doubts that the people of the Gold Coast are highly in favor of approval of casino gambling for their part of the state. They are spending considerable time and money to see that it is approved if those who do not wish to see it -defeated do not go out and vote their convictions. If those opposed vote, it will fail miserably. If they do not vote, it just may squeak through, since there is a considerable block in south Florida who wish to see it approved. making a fortune to compare with the pet rock craze of a few years ago. Ralph Kimmel is the culprit, this time, who has cashed in on the Seattle man's idea with a cheap imitation of the Pet Cow Chip. He has come up with this imitation Pet Cow Chip, made with a piece of drift wood. It would have to be someone like Ralph who would come up so quickly with this gimmick. He might even get rich with it. Wants Signatures to Oppose Casinos Dear Wesley: As you know, a number of us in Gulf County and surround- ing areas are very much opposed to Casino Gambling. Therefore, we are opposed to Revision 9 which will be on the ballot as an amendment to the Constitution. As I discussed with you a few days ago, we would like to buy a one page ad in the next issue. of The Star and list names of any. people in this area who want to go on record as being opposed, to Revision 9 which is Casino Gambling. The Star invites letters for its "Letters to the Editor" column from anyone who wishes to express him- self on any /subject. Just keep it to the point, no libelous statements and sign your name. . The purpose of this letter is to let the people know that they may go on record as opposed to this if they will call my office (229-8211) and give us a name. There will be no charge to those who wish to have their' name included in the advertisement but, a con- tribution of up to one dollar ($1) will be accepted until we raise the necessary funds to cover the expenses of this ad. I hope all of the people will back us in this endeavor and our County has the highest "NO" vote in this State re- garding Casino Gambling. Very truly yours, William J. Rish Says We Didn't Perform As Promised Dear Mr. Wesley Ramsey; I read in the Star last week Thursday Edition (October known since they work toge- ther." Mr. Ramsey, I knew that LETTERS ... to the Editor >. ''*- 19, 1978) where you said that the Hospital Board did not meet because Commissioner James B. Roberts was in Tennessee on Vacation, "which Peters should have Commissioner James Roberts was going on vacation three weeks before he left for Ten- nessee, because I make it my business to communicate with a man that I work with. Claims He Was Robbed Mr. Ramsey I am glad to see that you read other newspapers not just your own and always print the whole story on any issue. Ha Ha It has not been- told that in the case of the State of Florida vs. Richard Zyskie that I asked Mr. Zyskie if that wasn't a little high ($26.00) and that I talked to the Mayor (Frank Pate) about the high charge on Public Records. Nor has it been told that Mt. Zyskie is refunding part of my money. This should tell the public something. This if the second time I have been over charged by the city or city owned facilities for Public Records. There is no telling how many people have been over- charged as I have. In. my opinion there is something is wrong when the complaining witness in a clear cut violation of the law is Layman's View Bible Notes By: BILLY NORRIS Psalm 105:f-4 (KJV) Key Word: Desire the Lord (Verse 1) "0, Give thanks unto the Lord; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people. (Verse 2) Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of his wondrous works. (Verse 3) Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord. (Verse 4) Seek the Lord, and his strength: seek his face evermore." The error of apathy toward God may be the Christian's greatest fault. It only takes a few minutes reading in God's work to know He desires (yes, even requires) our praise, our thanksgiving, our attention. But what does the Christian talk about? What do we do with our time? We talk about the weather, yesterday's ball- games, tomorrow's trips, any- thing and everything except God and His Glory and Deeds. God's word says we are to give thanks to the Lord and call upon Him! Talk about Him! Sing songs of praise. We are to Glory in His name (literally to boast). The Chris- tian's heart should jump with joy when we seek God (come to Him in praise). And this we should do continually. A good theme for the Chris- tian is SEEK, SING and SAY the Glory of the Lord.

I never heard of a .person who was robbed having to go to the robber and ask for his property or money back or prove the law breaker's intent for him to be prosecuted, but this seems to be the case in this area anytime anyone bucks the system or the ruling few. My understanding of the law (Chapter 119 Public Records law as amended by the 1975 legislative) is that the new rules set by our so called public servants, the City Commissioners is also illegal or the law as interpreted by the Attorney General says "In absence of specific fees being set by the legislature then the actual cost of duplicating these records is all'that can be charged. I just thought the- people should be told the whole story. That is if you print this letter Mr. Ramsey since you are a member of the City Commis- sion. I doubt it. Thank you, Charles E. Carroll (Ed Note: Charles, yo.u don't have to use that old ploy "that is if you print this letter . ." with us. We have printed letters from you before, even though almost without excep- tion you never write us with- out insulting our integrity. We are not afraid to put our integrity to the test of your words, since we think the past 26 years have proven our position. We intend to stand on our record and feel it adequate to meet any defense we might need in future actions. -Ed) Commissioner Roberts and I communicate just about everyday that we work to- gether. Mr. Ramsey the Sunshine Laws require that only three members are needed to make up a quorum, or to meet efficiently, yourself, Mayor Pate, and Commissioner J.R. Smith, all who were in town October 10, and Mr. Smith called in ill 30 minutes before the Hospital Board Meeting was supposed to start. Mr. Ramsey, If you would stop and think, the Hospital Board has not had a meeting since August 8, and I would like to know how the Hospital is conducting its business? Mr. Ramsey you also said at the August 8, meeting that you would print the next meeting date of the Hospital Board meeting, which you did not. I as well as everyone else interested in the meeting had to read about the Regular Scheduled Meeting in the Tal- lahassee Democrate, a news paper that comes from 100 miles away, to inform me of local information. Mr. Ramsey, and to all of the Hospital Board Members, The citizens of Port St. Joe and Gulf County are concern- ed about the problems we are having at the Municipal Hos- pital, and like myself the citizens of this county would like to have a government "OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, AND FOR THE PEOPLE.", and this we in- tend to do. Sincerely, Nathan Peters, Jr. (Ed note: Nathan, if you will read the minutes of the August 8 meeting to which you refer, you will note that it was said there would be a notice on the front page of The Star when the Commission calls for an- other public hospital meeting, which it still intends to do as soon as all Commissioners can be present at one time. There was no mention made of public notices being given for regular meetings of the Board which are held on the second Tuesday of each month, when the Board is allowed to meet for business, that is. For the past two months it has been virtually impossible for the Board to attend to regular business matters through no fault of the Board. -Ed) SALTY SALLY There seems to be a continuing tendency for people to seek safety in numbers to better protect them- selves from each other. ETAOIN SHRDLU By: Wesley R, Ramsey This past week end I went to Hollywood and the diplomat Hotel to attend the annual meeting of the Florida League of Cities along with other city officials, including Mayor Frank Pate, Commissioners John Robert Smith, Tom Colde- wey, attorney Billy Joe Rish and Clerk Charles Brock. It started out to be a slow meeting, which we wished we hadn't wasted the time or money to attend, but wound up a real hum-dinger, which I'm proud Port St. Joe had a voice in. Thursday and Friday, there were sessions for city attorneys, city clerks and various forums for Commissioners telling them how others had solved various municipal problems such as solid waste, (a problem which faces Port St. Joe very shortly) self insurance and other matters which could cost a large amount of money to municipalities uninformed about the avenues open to them. But Saturday was another matter. The general sessions were held Saturday which included addresses by Governor Reubin Askew, Speaker of the House Hyatt Brown and gubernatorial hopefuls Jack Eckerd and Bob Graham. Governor Reubin Askew stole the day with his hour-long attack on casino gambling for the State of Florida. He was agin it. While at the meeting, John Robert Smith and I were among a group which took a tour through a prototype solid waste disposal system. The plant, built by the government and operated by a private concern, received solid waste, shredded it and used a part of the refuse in an experimental process to manufacture methane gas a very small amount of gas.' We traveled up Atlantic Boulevard, across to A1A to 1-95 and up to Pompano. The trip took some 30 to 45 minutes by bus. The tour through the disposal plant gave us some ideas which could be used here, but the operation as a whole was a typical government operation about 30 white shirt and tie types in a waste disposal plant who didn't know how the thing worked. You could tell that by the answers many of the questions didn't get. When we went to the airport, we traveled up Atlantic until it ran into Collins Ave., then up International Boulevard to 1-95 and on to the airport. This was another trip of about 30-45 minutes by airport limo. The point I'm trying to make with all these distances and traveling times it to tell you that we covered some 20 miles in both directions and there was nothing but wall to wall major hotels on both sides of the road. There was curb to curb traffic, even on 12-lane 1-95. Along all these routes of travel, I never saw the first church. Along all these travels, I never saw the first parking place. If the Miami area gets casino gambling to increase their crowds, where are they going to park the extra cars? How will they get these - extra cars on the already-crowded streets? If there was a church or two interspersed in this canyon of hotels, I wonder if the cry for casinos in Miami would be as unanimous as it is today? Saturday is the day we've all been waiting for since Spring. Saturday night is the night you set your clock back an hour before you go to bed. Relax and enjoy the extra hour of sleep you will get. Maybe the extra hour will give you enough rest in order for you to be able to get up early enough to make it to Sunday School on time. I was talking to Doctor Wayne Hendrix and his wife, Ruth, the other day about Wayne's involvement in the St. Jude's Hospital fund raising program here in Gulf County. Ruth said she was given Highland View business area to canvass by her husband. She went into Wood's Fisheries to see M. C. Wood about a donation and ran upon a man standing at the door. She asked, "Where is the office, please?" The man said, "I don't know lady, I'm here to buy a load of shrimp. By the way, what part of Alabama are you from?" Ruth assured him she was from Cartersville, Georgia. "Cartersville!" the man exclaimed, "I'm from there, too. What's your name?" Ruth said her name was Mrs. Wayne Hendrix and he was from Cartersville, too. "I went to school with a Wayne Hendrix, but we went to Martha Berry Schools where we had to work our way through school on the Berry Farm". Ruth said her Wayne did just that, also. Anyhow, to make a long story fit into this space, the man questioned Ruth until he found out the Wayne Hendrix he went to high school with and the Wayne Hendrix Ruth had married were the same person. "What threw me", the man said, "was that the Wayne Hendrix I knew use to be known as 'Stud' Hendrix." How time changes things.

Two passes to Chuck Pollock, one for the touch- down,and a 24-yard charge by Kevin Watts capped the drive. The extra point attempt failed with 8:26 left in the half and the point difference had been reduced to 13-6. But Chipley was still game and with 2:31 left in the half a 19-yard pass play moved the Tigers ahead once again by 13 points as the extra point failed, making the score 19-6. .But, the Sharks weren't ready to go to the locker room yet, as they went to the air with just over two minutes left' in the half. Taylor hit Pickett for 11 yards, then Pollock for 22 yards, and Kevin Watts for 32 yards and the score. With 36 seconds left on the clock, the Sharks once again cut the lead to six, as the Tigers carried a 19-12 lead into the half. After a good kick return starting the third quarter, the Sharks had the ball on their own 42. But, the first play from scrimmage, the Sharks coughed up. the ball and Chipley took over on the Sharks' 48-yard line. The Tigers failed to convert, but set the Sharks back deep in their own territory, down- ing their punt on the nine-yard line. The teams then traded punts as the Sharks bettered their field position through- out the third quarter. Early in the fourth period, the Chipley punter mis- handled a snap and Mike Cassani covered the ball on the Chipley 14-yard line. A Taylor pass to Kevin Watts moved the ball to the three, where Michael Harris took the ball in for the score. The kick was good for the first time in the ball game, with. 10:13 left in the game, the Sharks were even on the board with a 19-19 tie. Two plays later, Chipley had the ball on their own 25, where a Chipley fumble was picked up by Joey Fontaine who scampered 24 yards for a Shark touchdown. The extra point was good and for the, first time in the game, the Sharks lead by seven, 26-19, with 8:13 left to play. But the Tigers were still alive as they took the kickoff and drove 90 yards, capped off by an eight-yard touchdown run by Mark Brown. The Chip- ley try for two, which would have given them the lead, failed. So, with 1:30 left in the game, the Sharks held their lead and killed the remaining time on the clock preserving a 26-25 lead to win the game. Defensively for the Sharks, once again, Vic Gilbert led the attack with seven tackles and 13 assists. Other standouts were: Chuck Pollock with eight tackles and five assists; Dusty May with seven tackles and eight assists; Blane Cox with five tackles and five assists and Joey Fontaine with two tackles and seven assists.

The educator said he was opposed to the changes be- cause of its effect on education and its upper echelon man- agement procedures. "Adop- tion of the new Constitution will convert 500 positions now elected by the people to ap- pointive positions. Govern- ment needs to be more ac- countable, not less account- able to the people", Tyree said. In the Board of education in particular, the proposed changes would make the Com- missioner of Education and the Board of Education ap- pointive" by the Governor. "Can'we solve our educational problems by reducing the people's voice in education?" Tyree asked. He also said the new document would make the Board of Regents appoin- tive and protected by the Constitution. "There will be no checks and balances", he said.

Manry, Jr., Presi- dent and Chief Executive Of- ficer of Florida National Banks of Florida, Inc., today announced that Florida Na- tional's net income for the quarter ended September 30, 1978 was $3,872,000 or $0.52 per share as compared to $3,257,000 or $0.33 per share in the quarter ended September 30, 1977. This represents a 58 per cent increase in net in- come per share over the same period a year earlier. Net income for the nine months period ended September 30, 1978 was $10,565,000 or $1.41 per share as compared to the income, before the cumulative effect, of a change in account- ing method, of $9,990,000 or $1.02 per share for the same period a year earlier. Manry stated that the cur- rent earnings continued to run ahead of the Company's 1978 profit plan and that many of the new branches opened by Florida National are beginn- ing to absorb their own operat- ing expenses at a much faster rate than originally expected. Manry also stated that the $0 52 per share earning for the third quarter represents the highest earnings per share ever recorded by Florida Na- tional in a three month period. Total deposits as of Septem- ber 30, 1978 were $1,385,312,000 as compared to $1,298,617,000 a year earlier. The largest portion of the deposit growth has come in the form of retail checking accounts gained by the statewide branching net- works being installed by Flor- ida National: Florida National also con- tinues to experience good loan demand especially in the con- sumer and mortgage areas. Consumer loans were $208,609,000 at September 30, 1978 as compared to $141,915,000 at September 30, 1977, an increase of 47 per cent. Mortgage loans were at $265,206,000 and $208,526,000 at September 30, 1978 and 1977 respectively. This represents an increase of 27 percent in mortgage loans. Although the loan demand in the commer- cial area has not been as great as the consumer and mort- gage loan areas, it has begun to firm up and has shown a slight increase from a year- earlier. Commercial loans'- were $259,415,000 as of Sep- tember 30, 1978, up from $256,425,000 at September 30, 1977. Say You Saw It In The Star Like many Americans, the Dutch are fond of desserts, , particularly .fruit desserts. Although the Dutch Boy is actually an American ver- sion of a German pancake, we're sure the Dutch would approve! You will, too, when,you discover how quick and easy it is to pre- pare. This unusual pancake is baked in the oven. All you need to do is beat together the batter ingredients and pour them into a pie plate. The scrumptious fruit top- ping takes only a minute or two. Donot limit this great recipe to dessert time, though. Fruited Dutch Boy would also be great as a late night snack or hearty brunch. FRUITED DUTCH BOY I to 2 servings 2 small bananas, sliced .
