This week, Bo Boyette, manager of the firm, said his plant is recalling all employees to report to work on Monday morning of next week. "We're going to start up with a full operation", Boyette said. Basic, which manufactures, a product used primarily in fire brick used to line blast furnaces inrsteel mills, has been in the heavy doldrums just like the steel industry has been. Boyette said the firm. had 90 employees back in June, when it started cutting back on its operations. "We got down to only 19 employees at one time", Boyette said. "We hop that doesn't happen again". During the past six months, the.lpcal plant has averaged 30 to 40 employees at work. By November the number was down to 19 and in December, the plant started to recall their .employees. "We're calling back 80 to report for work on Monday", Boyette said. PRODUCTION DOWN During the past six months, the plant has operated only one of five kilns used to make their periclase product. At one time in November, there were no kilns operating. "We're going to fire up all five of our kilns on Monday", Boyette said. "We're going for full production. I don't know how long it will last, but we're hopeful it will continue for the ,remainder of the year. It will all depend on the how the economic situation in the nation gets along". n gets' The economic situation with Basic employees has been tough during the past six months. Hopefully it will improve in the next 12 months. City Objects to EPA's WWP Plant Limits Asks for Same Emission Levels As Others After being on the receiving end of demands and objections from Environmental Protec- tion Agency and Department of Environmental Regulation ever since its Wastewater Treatment Plant started op-. eration, the City Commission decided "enough was enough" this week and decid- ed to do some objecting and * demanding on its own. The City's second five year . permit from EPA is up for ,re-newal this month and EPA -'waits to re-new it. with' the same limitations which have given the plant troubles ever since it opened some eight years ago. In' a 'letter to John T. Marlar, Chief Facilities Per- formance Branch of .EPA, Mayor Frank. Pate officially expressed the decision of the Commission when he signed a letter stating the permit limi- tations "are not, justified". In the-meantime, the City agreed Tuesday evening to send out bids on January 15 to get prices on the remov- al of accumulated sludge in the 70-acre settling pond at the plant, in an effort to reduce the suspended sol- ids emission from the plant. The dredging project would take some six to nine. months to complete at a cost of nearly $1 million.- The sludge will be pumped under the Gulf County canal to a field where it will be spread out for drying and plowing under. The Commission has felt the lirhitations are too stringent for some time, now, ever since they learned about four or five years ago that other similar plants have less restrictive limitations than the Port St. Joe plant has. As a matter of fact, plant manager Bob Si- mon says, "If we had their set of limitations, we would be in compliance every day, even now with our lagoon in need of removal of settled solids". Board I The Gulf County School Board called a halt, Tuesday, to trying to get prime contrac- tor, Kolmetz Construction Company, to complete its punch list on the new Wewa- Port Authority Changes Meeting The, Port St. Joe Port Authority has cancelled their regular meeting of January 10 and re-scheduled it for Mon- day, January 24,; according to' chairman, George Tapper. . The January 10 meeting was. re-scheduled because the prime engineer for the port design project has said the plans would not be complete in time for the January 10 meeting. The engineers, PRC Harris, will have the plans for the port for presentation to the Port Authority on January 24. The meeting will be held at the fire station at 5:00 p.m. As it is, the local plant' has operated under a temporary state permit ever since it first cranked up because it has so much trouble meeting state. limitations. The EPA permit, (federal agency) is a five year permit, but still contains the effluent limitations set by the state.. WHY THE TOUGH LIMITS? The City wanted to know, recently, why their limitations were so confining while other plants with almost identical loading had must less re- straining limitations. When the City hired the engineering firm of Jones and Edmunds this year to design .several changes to the plant required by DER to come within their set limitations of effluent, one (Continued On Page 3) ERef uses Payment hitchka Elementary School. plaster, and finishing of a few In action at a regular board areas around entry ways. meeting Tuesday, the mpem- "We know the problems' bers agreed to deny payment. aren't serious", Wilder said, of $10,000 still owed Kolmetz "But we paid to have the because of the problems his building operating right, and firm has not yet taken care of. we expect that."

One of 'four tracts of coastal property in north Florida, the Peninsula property is presently nuniber eight on: the list of some 25 possible purchases. The information sheet which released this "information Tuesday didn't specify what property on the Peninsula was being considered, nor. did it specify how much property was under study by the State Cabinet for purchase. This does not mean the Peninsula property will -be purchased, nor even survive the cut when selections for definite purchase' are made. Those 25 pieces of property currently on the list, will be, considered by the State Cabinet in its regular meeting on Tuesday; January 11, to sort out the definites from the .probables. One of the biggest controversies in the land purchases is whether or not to go after expensive south Florida lands and spend al1 the available $200 million on a little bit 'o land, or go after the larger parcels available at a lesser price in north Florida, where quantities of acres can be obtained with the same money. If the emphasis is placed on the south Florida property, there is a good possilibity the St. 'Joseph Peninsula won't even survive the cut by the cabinet even though it is number eight on the list. Other coastal lands of interest to the state in northwest Florida include; Shell Island in Bay County (number 9 on the list); Grayton Beach, in Walton County (6); and Dog Island in Franklin County, (12). Today. d all aip=ed, apparently, at n, discouraging the, City from s- having the light in operation at al the corner of Secoid Street it and Monument Avenue s, Recently, the DOT outlined a list of improvements' they wanted the City to make to the light, at a price tag of approximately $7,000, which the City has ignored, In an earlier interview, Mayor Frank Pate told an area newspaper, "We have the light in operation so people can walk across the highway e to the postoffice with some amount of safety". When Pate announced to the City Commission Tuesday 1 night that DOT had been in f 'touch with him asking for a 5 meeting, Commissioner ' James Roberts quipped, "Maybe when they get here, we can tell them, face to face, to direct their attention to the Rough railroad crossings on t Highway 98 where they can do some good." Mayor Pate said the repre- sentative will be here today to meet with the Commission at 11:00 a.m. In' all likelihood, the DOT In Showdown Over Light man is going to insist, again, that the City remove the light ;_._., which has been in operation ever since the post office was built at its present site nearly 30' years ago. DOT keeps pointing out that the traffic count on the street at this point is not enough to warrant installation of a traffic control signal. The Commission keeps in- sisting right back, that the light is necessary for the safety of pedestrians who cross 'the street at this point many times a day. In effect, the light is in position and in operation primarily for the pedestrians and not for the convenience of vehicular traf- fic, which is a bother to DOT. With DOT expected to con- tinue their insistence that the light be removed or either up-graded to specifications set out by DOT, the City is expected to be just as ada- mant that the light remain in its present operation, blinking out its signal during the day and being shut down by City police as the day draws to an end. The light is usually turned off in the afternoon A po when the post office closes, the futui IA *ssible showdown could happen over re of this signal light which has been much in the news lately. The light is located at Second Street and Monument Avenue. On Wewahitchka School S ^ " r Editoria Is and Comments THE STAR PAGE TWO THURSDAY, JAN. 6, 1983 People of Gulf Want -No More of That With the record the State of :Florida has here in Gulf County in "their stewardship of public lands in .our area, we think they will find little e support in their announced plan to possibly purchase even more Gulf County land. ,The State has announced it will consider purchase of acreage on St. $ Joseph Peninsula "to preserve it for , the public" in their Save Our Coasts - program. How much land was being considered for purchase wasn't K announced. It really doesn't matter, * we don't think the people of Gulf SCounty would support any more 7 purchase of land which was of any use whatever. SIn years past, the State of Florida purchased a large parcel of ,E land on the Peninsula for the E purpose of construction of a state park. The park was built all right, and the people can go use it `by paying a small fee. We don't knock that. The state has put up some nice facilities at the park and those who Suse it should pay some small fee for S the privilege. When you consider it, -I the fee probably isn't enough to - cover expenses of those who use the - park facilities. Then, the state purchased many more acres of land beyond the park and placed it off limits to people. Things may have changed re- cently, but in years past, the number uf.- peoplee who went on that piece of p-_kid were limited each day.

For all practical pur- poses the Peninsula was inaccess- ible to even those of us here in Gulf County. In years past, the Peninsula was a favorite spot for adventurers in four-wheel drive vehicles who want-: ed a secluded and new place to surf fish. No more. Put a motorized vehicle on that land now and you're breaking state law. It's ours to use, but don't you dare get on it unless you meet certain criteria, which many people can't meet. Then the state purchased the& land along the river, all the while swearing sportsmen could use the property as they.had in years past and enjoy it. What was the first thing which happened? The 'state told those people who had leased the land for years, to clear their camps off the property, later amending the deadline to 10 years hence. Even though the grace period was given, the order to move was not lifted.., People will not be able to use the river swamp land as they have in the past, as was promised. These are only two instances. In every other instance of state pur- chase, use of the land by the people of Gulf County has been prohibited or severely restricted.

D PHANTRY i-~~~ fly ** ' Golf is a game that takes years of practice before one can become proficient at it. It is a time consuming game, to say the least, but a person that doesn't practice will never enjoy the benefit of being a winner. It is unfortunate, but, there are those who will never excel at golf no matter how much they practice. That is, unless a miracle occurs. , The following example is a case in point. This is the story of'a man who loved the game of golf but could never seem to ,become even reasonably good at it. It seemed that the more he practiced and the more he played, the worse his score was. He took lessons and practiced more but when he hit the'"links" it seemed his game fell apart. Although he started playing relatively late in life (at about .age thirty), he was an instant addict and played often. Like most golfers, he. had his "group" he played regularly with and they would play, on. the average, three times a week. More 'often than not, however, he would play or practice two more times dur- ing the week because he wanted, more than anything, -to be known as a "good golfer." For years he played and practiced and practiced and played but he never won. He took lessons and practiced more but the results were the same. He could not get his handicap below a twenty-one and it was extremely frustrat- ing. It was also embarrassing because the group he played with had an average handicap of about twelve. One day while he was playing and having one of his most frustrating rounds, he happened to hit a drive that hooked into an extremely dense thicket of pine trees and high foliage. When he found his ball he was not surprised to find that he had an unplayable lie. He would have to take a penalty stroke, drop his ball and hope he could get through the trees and brush. It was at this point in his golf career that he seriously consi- dered, for the first time, giving up the game. As he reached down to pick up his ball, a little man, about six inches tall, suddenly materi- alized and perched on his right shoulder. It was the "Golf Fairy!" "Having trouble?" the Golf Fairy asked. "Why, ya-ya-a, yes, I am!" was his startled reply. "Would you like to play good golf?" the Golf Fairy asked, "I mean real good golf?" "Yes, I would," he answer- ed, "more than anything, I want to be able to play good golf." -"Well,, I can .help you, play. .goodigolf," the Fairy continu- ed, "but you must sacrifice! something in return for my helping you." "Anything," he quickly agreed, "I'll sacrifice any- thing to be able to play good golf!" "All right," the Golf Fairy continued, "your sacrifice will be related to your sex life. Are you agreeable to that?"' "Yes," he quickly agreed,' "if that's what it takes, it's O.K. with me." From that day on his golf game was like coasting down- hill on a ten-speed. He could do' no wrong. His handicap soon dropped to eighteen, then to fourteen and soon he had surpassed the members of his group and was playing at a very respectable handicap of four. In less than a year he had won the club championship. He was seriously considering .trying out for the P.G.A. tour. It was at about this time that the "Golf Fairy" made his next appearance. He had just finished a spectacular round and was riding home when the "Golf Fairy" suddenly ap- peared on the dash of his car. "How is your golf game going?" the Fairy asked. "Great!" was his enthusias- tic reply.-7 "I have done my part," the Fairy continued, "do you remember the rest of the agreement?" "Yes, I remember," he replied, showing no emotion. "Well," the Golf Fairy said, with a smile on his little face, "tell me, how has your sex life been, say, for the last six months?" "Not that great," he an- swered, "but considering I'm a Catholic Priest in a small, Protestant town, it hasn't been that bad either!" Some people are just born lucky..... Keep unpopped corn. in the freezer. It stays fresh and makes the best.popcorn ever. As We Go THURSDAY, JANUARY 6,, 1983- l:How about that? The first time out, I wrote it 1983 and not 1982. There's no end to what you can do if Syou concentrate, is there? I. HOW MANY OF. YOU reading this Spice today, ever expected you would live-to see the year 1983? How many of _ you ever expected the year 1983 to even get here, way back when you were a dZhild?' Now that it's here, how many of you made a resolution or two? How many of them are you still keeping, even though. the year is only six days old? I J decided not to make a New Year's resolutionn this year. Every year that rolls around I make New Year resolutions. I think and plan and add to Sn eliminate from the list as it grows from day to day. By .the time the new :year gets here, I have an impressive list of resolutions- which would make a Sbtter person out of me if I could keep them. - ..The big problem with New Year resolutions is that if we could keep the ; resolutions we would never have to Tipping Off Into 1983, We Should Prepare for Good Things make them in the first place. Most New Year resolutions come from something in our life which we want changed but which we have never had the strength to change on our own. So, we make a There won't be any elections in 1983:, except for the City of Port St. Joe municipal, election, which usually pas- ses by pretty tamely. There will be none of. that name-calling, house-to-house, worth looking at sometime this year. Election years are good for those of us in the advertising business, but even those who make money from elections need a respite from them every other A e pic of l su Almost every piece of land south of the County Club area is either sold or for sale. There are subdivisions spring- ing up everywhere. I counted at least three new ones being put in south of Dead Man's Curve the other day when I took a trip down to the Indian Lagoon area to take a few pictures. In the other direction, west, proper- ty is beginning to move in the Gulf Aire ,and Mexico Beach areas. The real estate people in that area are getting itchy for the spring to come and they can get into a gallop again, after walking along at a slow gait ever since' the interest rate hit the 20's this past year. Industrially, Basic, Sylvachem and the paper company are all bullish on the future of the new year here in Gulf County. All of them see a future of increased activity for their concerns. From what I have learned in the last few days, the Material Transfer operation could conceivably become a gigantic operation; even as early as this coming year. With the cranking up of Seminole Electric in Palatka, it will mean at least a trainload of coal a day going out of here. That means men working on the railroad, as well as MTI. On top of that at least three large cities of central and north Florida are looking at the possibility of switching their power plants to coal and using the if cility here to import it from the coal fields and ship it by rail to their plants. That would step up the coal 'transportation through here consider- ably. All of this is speculation and may never come to be. But we all have to be alerted to what might be and possibly could be and get ourselves ready to meet the future. I DON'T REALLY KNOW what 1983 has in store for us, but I do know that by the time the year ends, things will have changed. Whether we plan to act or react, we need to get prepared to do one or the other. One wish I have for you for 1983 is simple: may the best you have had this year, be the worst you have to experience in 1983. resolution at the beginning of the new year that you want to happen in your life arid never has in the past. So, a resolution is born and in just a few days it is broken. +L +++ AS WE GO TIPPING off into a new year, I'm expectant that some good things are going to come out of 1983. I know it's an odd year, but sometimes odd things turn (out all right. choosing up sides kind of election. There will be no Democrat and Republican battle. We will all be able to come home after a hard day and turn on the TV and expect to see something entertaining. There will be no political candidates grinning at us and trying to tell all of us what a good guy he is. You can do this, that is, if TV happens to come up with something year. IN 1983 WE SHOULD all be able to see some progress in several areas in and around Port St. Joe and throughout Gulf County. Things are getting active in the real estate business again, particularly down in the Indian Pass and Money Bayou areas. Tales told by wandering minstrels of the Middle Ages were called "romances" because they were told in one of the romance languages. v". --W ETAOIN SHRDLU L By: Wesley R.

Kuhlmanrn, 6 8th St., passed away Bernice Benton Tillman Twelve Cases On County Court Docket for Monday City Objects (Continued from Page 1) 'of the jobs given the engineers by-the City Commission was to find out if there was a possibility of getting the emis- sion requirements low ered Frank Darabi, an engineer with the Jones and Edmunds firm has sinte reported that the local limits were set because the designing engin- eer had said the plant could achieve these emission num- bers when he was designing it. Darabi said the .local re- quirements are not based on EPA orDER requirements. "'I think you have a good chance to get the limitations eased some", Darabi said. With the engineering report- ing good success on a project to monitor water and bay bottom qualities, the City decided Tuesday to oppose its, limitations and ask for a relaxing of. their requirements to meet the standards set for other plants. "If you: don't do this now, you will have to live with these same restrictions for another five years i the duration of the new permit) and maybe from now on after that." In closing out his letter to DER, Mayor Pate stated, "We hereby request a hearing to consider a more appropriate permit limitation for this facility.", Only one of two things can happen. The City can be stuck with the same discharge limi- tations as it has had in the past, or, it could just accom- plish with a letter and a 20 cent stamp what several hundreds of thousands of dollars of engineering work and millions in plant changes have failed to do in the past. a minimum $250.00 fine, six months suspension of their drivers' license and 50 hours of community service work along with mandatory attendance to a drunken driver course. Florida law is now. tough on drinking drivers. If Gulf's defendants have been up in court on this same charge before, the sentence could. be much harsher than this minimum penalty, including mandatory time in jail. .In addition to the two'DWI charges, the County Court has two cases of unauthorized use of a boat and motor, and one case each of: disposing of mortgaged property, battery, posses- sion of a controlled substance, giving alcoholic beverages to a minor, care- less driving, battery, worthless check, and possession of a controlled' sub- stance.. Gulf County's County Court will convene Monday morning at 10:00 a.m., with 12 cases on the docket to appear before County Judge David L. Taunton. The docket will feature two cases of driving .while intoxicated to be tried under Florida's new tough, drunken driver law. Provided this is a first offense for both defendants, they face a mandatory sentence under state law of College Courses In Port St. Joe Registration for all.

Plantin Not only is this the season wat for pecan harvest in Florida, it vals is also time to establish new irril trees in your yard or home So orchard. Pecan trees can be plan planted from now until Febru- nuti ary. hav Before planting trees, you gen should first select the appro- 10-1 private variety. While there are aroi many varieties available, only after a few are recommended' for Jun backyard planting. This is Feb because most homeowners do of 1 not have the necessary equip- trunk ment to spray for the control foot of destructive diseases, parti- cularly scab. There are scab resistant varieties available, which have good production levels and produce high quali- ty kernels. . Many pecan trees may be unfruitful unless they receive pollen from another tree. Plant at least two varieties, especially in areas where few trees exist, to provide suffici- Se n t' p o lle n .I ' The following varieties have been recommended for the homeowners: Stuart, large size, excellent kernel quality, scab resistant; Elliott, small size, good kernel quality, very scab resistant; Curtis, small size, excellent kernel quality, very scab resistant; and De- sirable, large size, good kernel quality, very scab resistant. Purchase your trees from a- reputable nursery or garden center. Make sure that the transplants roots have moist- ure from the time of digging" until planting. If possible, plant your trees the day they are obtained from the nur- sery. Many trees are purchas- ed through mail order firms and garden centers and may have been out of the ground for several days. However, if they have been stored and handled with proper care they should survive, . Drying before planting is one of the major causes of the tree's failure to thrive and grow. If the roots of your trees have dried out, soak them in water for several hours to freshen them.. : -Remove broken roots before s setting trees. Dig a hole deep enough to accommodate the root system without bending it. Because of the pecan's long tap root, it is not unusual for'a hole to be at least three feet deep and from 12 to 24 inches wide. . Place enough topsoil in the bottom of the hole so that the, tree stands at the same depth 'or a little deeper than it was in the nursery. Mix organic, matter with the remaining topsoil and add it in the hole in layers so that lateral roots can be spread horizontally. Firm each layer of soil after it is added to prevent settling. Never add fertilizer in the planting hole- it may damage the root system. Build a water holding basin around the tree from leftover subsoil. The reservoir should be 24 to. 36 inches deep and hold 10 to 15 gallons of water. Apply a six inch mulch of straw, leaves or old sawdust to help conserve moisture and reduce weed and grass compe- tition. It is important to prune one half of the top of the new tree immediately after transplant- ing to bring top growth in balance with the root system. Young trees require more attention than older establish- ed trees. Watering is the major chore for the first two . or three years. Make sure trees receive 10 to 15 gallons of * PAGE FIVE BY ROY LEE CARTER g Pecans er at regu. ar weekly inter\- not put fertilizer c s either by rainfall o.r' inches to the tru nation.

On Sex Charges The City Commission is considering purchase of a large insurance umbrella premium and re-fiewing an electric franchise to Flo.'ida Power Corporation three years early. The City thought it was limited to $100,000 liability by state law enacted some five years ago. Cases in Florida since that time indicates that municipalities may not be so exempt from liability after all. One such., case is being experienced right now by the City of Port St. Joe in which the fire truck was involved in. an accident which resulted in seriousinjury to a small child and death to a man., . Prior, to passage of the state law,' the City maintained a large umbrella policy. to take care of costly suits resulting from liability to the city. Either Sex Deer Hunt Jan. 9 .Hunters throughout Florida are allowed to harvest "either sex" deer throughout most of the state on January 9. The hunt will be allowed on .all private lands within the state except for the area of the Everglades south of the Tami- ,ami Trail (U.S. Highway. 41) lying east of the Everglades National Park. Hunters using land other than their own should seek prior permission from the property owner. State wildlife management areas are closed to the "either sex" deer day in the Ever- glades, Central, South and Northeast Regions. In the Northwest Region,. a' limited number of management areas will feature the hunt and sportsmen are asked to con- sult management area regula- tions for details. The 'daily bag limit for the ,deer (not including spotted fawn) is, two, not more than one of which may be an antlerless deer or doe. "The statewide antlerless deer day is planned primarily for people who do not have access to antlerless deer per- mits either because they have small landholdings or cannot for some reason hunt where such permits are available,"i said Dr. Allan Egbert, assist- ant director of the Division of Wildlife of the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commis- sion. "The Commission already has an antlerless deer pro- gram. that deals with land- owners 'who own or lease in, excess of 150 acres," Egbert said. He explained that the special one-day hunt will be allowed on any private land- holdings without requiring a permit. He cautioned that sportsmen must obtain a landowner's permission be- fore going hunting. The either-sex deer day is scheduled January 9 as that is the end of the white-tailed deer season in the Everglades, Central, South and Northeast Regions of the state. Egbert said that even though .deer season will end January 30 in the Northwest Region, the either-sex deer day will be held onh January 9 in that region. This is the first year the Commission has sanctioned a statewide "either sex" deer day and it was important to coordinate it with the date that the season closed in most areas of the state, the wildlife official said: Legally Drive Carts The Florida Highway Patrol' has expressed concern for underage drivers who will be illegally and unsafely operat- ing their newly acquired Christmas, presents of. go- carts, mini-bikes, mopeds or motor scooters. Robert A. Butterworth, Exe- cutive Director of the Florida Department of Highway Safe-' ty and Motor Vehicles said; "Florida traffic laws prohibit the operation of such vehicles unless both the driver and motor vehicle meets all the. legal requirements. This means that your child cannot legally drive a go-cart, mini- bike, moped or motor scooter on any road, parking lot or other place open to motor: vehicle traffic unless both the, driver and. motor vehicle comply with all traffic regula- tions.". To be legal, the go-cart would have to be licensed and equipped just as if it were a full-sized car. The moped must be licensed and meet all the other requirements per- taining to bicycles. The mini- bike or motor sqootei must be licensed and equipped .the same as a full-sized motorcy- cle and the driver of any motorized vehicle must have a driver's license. "Parents or legal guardians who knowingly permit their child to operate a motor vehicle illegally could be charged with a misdemean- or," said Butterworth, "but worse than that, parents who permit this may unknowingly be contributing to the serious injury or death of their child in the event of a traffic accident while the child is operating a motor vehicle contrary to traffic regulations which dre designed to save lives ahd prevent injuries."

He was able to give the cost of the premiums, but he could not give all the requirements the City must meet in order to purchase the policy. ELECTRIC FRANCHISE Jim Cox, manager of Flor- ida Power Corporation office here in Port St. Joe, asked the Commission to consider re- newing the utility's franchise at a higher franchise tax rate to the City. "Cox said most of the fran- ,chises are now earning cities six percent, while the Port St. Joe franchise pays the city only four percent. Cox said the present franchise will expire in 1986. Mayor Frank Pate told Cox the Commission would be glad to hear the presentation by Florida Power and consider : placing the question on the May municipal election ballot for the people to express an opinion on the new franchise. Cox said he could have the full package ready for presen- tation at the February 15 meeting, which would give the firm and the City Commission time to ron out any problems which may arise in plenty of MTIPlant Important Happening In a poll of local Rotary members last Thursday, the opening of the Material Trans- fer, Inc., plant here in Port St. Joe was determined to be the most important happening in the county during the past year. . George Core, Mark Tomlin- s"n, Bo Boyette and George Tapper all said the coming of the firm could mean consider- able industrial activity for the area in the years to come. "At least three other large cities -,who generate their own elec-- tricity are considering the. switch to coal and using the Port St. Joe facilities to' ship their fuel into the state", Tapper said. Ohn the money side, Florida Bank President, Ted Cannon, said the interest picture for 1983 was just as uncertain at 'this' time, as it:was in 1982. "Nobody knows' what it will do: go up or down or both", .Cannon said. Dave May, the owner of a new gray beard prophesied, that we .would have a hard winter, but his face would stay warm. : Guests of the club were Judge Larry Bodiford of Pan- ama City and, Buck Fernan- dez of Port St. Joe.
