USPS 518-880 FORTY-EIGHTH YEAR, NUMBER 21 THDeep Water Port- S afest Beaches in Florida Industry-Deep Water Port-Fine People-Safest Beaches in Florida PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA 32456 THURSDAY, JANUARY 24, 1985 25C Per Copy _J It WAS Cold!! Mercury Reported Plunging to 50 Temperatures took a sudden and dramatic drop here in northwest Florida Sunday, placing the entire northern' two-thirds of the state in a deep-freeze. Temperatures here in Port St. Joe reached a record, when they dipped to around six or seven degrees, with a wind chill factor of minus 30 degrees. There is no official temperature kept in Port St. Joe, but reports have been received from serious weather watchers of' thermometer readings as low as five degrees early Monday morning. During the evening Monday, televi- sion stations in the area were interrupt- ing their programs to bring temperature readings which started at 17 degrees just after dark to around 10 degrees at 11:00 p.m. Frigid temperatures didn't catch residents of Port St. Joe unprepared. According to local law enforcement officials, the only damage caused by the extreme cold was a broken power line in the St. Joseph Peninsula area. .Here in the City,. sleet pelted the vicinity for about a half hour Sunday afternoon, beginning about 3:30. The frozen rain pellets gathered in small pockets on roof-tops, on cars, etc., but didn't cover the ground. Monday morning was a world of ice . here along the shores of St. Joseph Bay. The Star took the picture Of the Wewahitchka State Bank's sign at 8:30, after the sun had been out for nearly an hour and the sign still read 10 degrees. For Port St. Joe, that's cold! Seek Action on Single Member District Plan Wewahitchka Group Says It Doesn't Want to Go Into Court Action Charles Bostick of Wewahitchka, made his second pitch to the County Commission to change the county's voting procedure to a single member district type government Sto replace the present at-large method of voting on Commissioners. Although it was his second trip to the Commission and they still didn't turn over the county's voting system to comply with his request, Bostick stated he would be back. The Williamsburg community resident had appeared before the Commission back in August of last year and made the same request, just a few days 'before the primaries started. The Commission turned him down then because Florida law dictated the method of voting .for government representatives used by the county. At the time, Bostick wanted the local election delayed until a single-member district system could be put into place. In arguing for the need of a single member district system, Bostick asked what progress had been made toward changing over the county system. He said under the present system, "We sometimes. don't see our representatives in county government from one election to another". Bostick said his particular area is also plagued by drainage problems and other lack of services. Commissioner Billy Branch remarked that "There are plenty of mostly white areas in the county that have drainage problems 'just as bad as yours. There's nothing we can "dq about them.." Attorney William ,J. Rish advised the Board the law had been changed governing, voting procedures since Bostick was last before the Commission. "A Constitutional Amendment was approved in the last election which allows a county to go to the . single member district -method if it is appi'oved in a referendum by county voters." "It won't pass on a referendum", Bostick said. "You seem to be understand- ing, intelligent gentlemen. Would it benefit anyone to carry this thing through the courts'?" Bostick then went on to say he didn't wish to go to court with the matter, stressing the fact "It wouldn't benefit anyone" to force the county to spend all that money and effort. Commissioner Doug Birmingham made a motion, which was approved unanimously, that the county put: the question of single member districts on the ballot at the next election. "That's too far. off", Bostick said. "That's 20 months from now. Besides, a referendum would never pass in Gulf County. When can you let me know your decision. When will you consider the request?" Chairman Eldridge Money told the petitioner, "I have heard several white people say they approved a single member district type government, too. I think such a referdum would have a good chance of passing". The debate went on for several more minutes, with Bostick wanting the Commis- sion to take action on making the change themselves, and the Commission saying they would support putting the question on the ballot at the next election. "How many of you would vote in favor in such a.referendum?" Bostick asked. He received no direct answer, but Clerk Jerry Gates summed up the situation by saying, "I think the Commission is saying, they couldn't fulfill your request even if they wanted to. The law doesn't allow them to. All they can do is put the question on the ballot or react to any court action you of- anyone else may bring about." Bostick still insisted he didn't want to go to court, and left the meeting saying he would keep in touch with the Commission onft the matter. BEACH WATER Commissioner Owens advised the Board the beaches water system would begin serving at least some of its customers in "about 10 days or two weeks and we need to take some steps now to secure the services "of someone to read meters and make minor repairs" . Commissioner Branch said he would like to contract the Service out so "we can select someone who can do the work and wants to work only part time as we need. him". Branch said, "If you want to advertise for such a person rather than just contract for such services, it's all right with me, but we need to get it done." SThe Commission agreed to take bids for' the service at the February 12 meeting and in the meantime revue the estimated charges for the system to see if all services are being paid for by income. CHANGE PERMIT CHARGES Building inspector, Dewayne Manuel said he has felt all along the small single family builder is paying too much for permits and the large builder gets too much of a break on the present building permit and inspection fees. To rectify the situation, Manuel intro- duced a new schedule of fees and charges (Continued on Page 8) Strained Relations Surface Wewa New Gulf County Sheriff Al Harrison and Wewahitchka Police Chief Jonathan Glass tried to put rumors they were fueding to rest this week without really saying there was no cause for suspecting unrest between the two de- partments. Enmity between the two law enforcement officers was reported by area news media following a meeting by Sher- iff Harrison with the Wewa- hitchka City Commission last week in which Harrison says he merely stated his position What started out, as a racoon hunting trip for two friends, ended in tragedy for one and the other being lodged in Gulf County Jail on a charge of second degree murder. Saturday evening, Ricky Alan Harper, 30, of White City and Clyde Douglas Yeo- mans, 31, of Douglas Land- ing, left Kirkland's Landing at White City in the early evening, headed for the Lake Wimico vicinity to go rac- coon hunting. During the evening Harper and Yeo- mans visited with several Police Chief, in providing part of the law enforcement for the north Gulf County town. The media interpreted Harrison's state- ment as "throwing down the gauntlet" in law enforcement jurisdiction when he declar- ed to the Commission he would make the decision who would represent his depart- ment in the Wewahitchka area and he would make the decision as to their operation and investigation methods. In a telephone conversa- tion with both officers this week, both expressed a wil- acquaintenances and friends who were camping on a houseboat near Lake Wim-' ico. The friends said the two young men left the houseboat at about 10:30 p.m., headed back to Kirkland's Landing. Harper had expressed a need to return home to put anti- freeze in his vehicles. Apparently, between the time the two men left the houseboat and before they reached the landing, an argument started. As the argument progressed, Yeo- mans allegedly shot Harper Sheriff, Say They'll Do Their Job lingness to work with the "I just told the City of cooperation. other .and both saying they Wewahitchka I wanted to to know wha had a job to do and they were work with them to give good was so I cou going to do it. law enforcement but that I men when n The report of a fuss be- would make the decision complaint w tween the two law enforce- about who worked the Wewa- hitchka City ment officers erupted out of hitchka area and when they want to ke an apparent disagreement worked it.

Harper fell over the side of the boat into the Intracoastal Canal and Yeomans came on to the landing to get help. Members of the .Gulf Coun- ty Sheriff's Department, the Florida Marine Patrol, the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission, the State Attorney's office and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement converged on the site where Harper's body went into the water. Sunday morning, Harper's body was found floating near Lake Wimico by the search- ers. Monday, Yeomans was ar- raigned before Gulf County Judge David Taunton and charged with second degree murder. Second degree mur- der is the charge placed against a defendant when the act hasn't been deliberately planned. Yeomans is being held in Gulf County Jail without bail. According to Sheriff Al Harrison, the shooting is still under investigation by Chief Deputy Mike White. "I just wanted it their schedule ld fill in with my needed.

I nave my job to do and duty to perform and I'm going to do it." Glass admitted the situa- tion wasn't as good as it could be. He said in the past he has worked almost as another Deputy Sheriff, even though he is employed by the City of Wewahitchka. "When they needed me, I was there. Now, I'll confine myself solely to the City. Still, if the Sheriff needs me outside the City, all he has to do is call, and I'll be glad to respond." Glass said he would stay out of the way of the Sheriff's department until the current situation cools down. "I'm here to maintain law and order in the City of Wewa- hitchka. I'm not going to let anything get in the way of that", Glass said. Tree Seedlings Friday was no typical Florida day, but it was Arbor Day in Florida and the Florida Forest Service was selling tree seedlings for planting. Forest Ranger, Buddy Layfield, who held the seedling sale here in Port St. Joe reported the sale went "real well" in spite of the cold and windy day. "We sold 200 packets of seedlings by noon", he said. Layfield said the annual tree seedling sale is Popular Item always a successful project by the Forest Service here in Port St. Joe. In the photo above, Ranger Layfleld is shown writing out a receipt to Richard Logan and Major Sullivan, both of Beacon Hill, who have just made purchases of the seedling packets. "I was glad they sold fast", Layfield said, "so I could get in out of this cold wind." -Star photo -ookIs~ Yeomans Arraigned Monday Faces Second Degree Murder Charges In Rickv Harper Killing Editorials and Comments THE STAR THURSDAY, JAN. 24, 1985 Not O NAbout 7 Neither columnist James Kil- :patrick nor the Wall Street Journal seem very optimistic that the current effort at disarmament talks being engaged in by us and the Russians will pay very large dividends. Kilpatrick calls the story of the two super powers getting together to talk a "no story", meaning there might be a lot of bombast and rhetoric there, but there is no substance to it. The talks will amount to nothing, Kilpatrick feels. The Wall Street Journal is even more pessimistic than is Mr. Kilpatrick over the outcome of the talks. The Journal said, "Between 1925 and 1941, the U.S.S.R. signed 15 non-aggression or neutrality treaties. It broke, denounced or violated 11. Between 1950 and 1980, Moscow signed 18 alliances; it violated 15, among them the Helsinki agreements." - What the Journal is saying is, if the Russians and our negotiators were to agree wholeheartedly with ia set of do's and don't's which might be promulgated in the talks, there isn't much chance the Soviets ,will live up to the treaty. We suppose that is right. (The following interesting edi- :t.orial was in last week's Blounts- -town County Record. We're re- :-Zprinting it here to provoke your .thinking. -Ed) :: 'Not too long !ago- the only peoplee who could vote for a county: "commissioner from District One in -Calhoun County were those who lived in the district. This situation -continued long after some of the -districts had far less than' their 'share of the voters. (That was one 'fifth, of course.) "In plain English, this meant :'that a man elected by a very small percentage of the voters in our county could decide what. was going to happen to the majority. It clearly was unfair, and opened the way for many possibilities of bad government. "After, a long period of trying _ to right this situation, the people of :Calhoun County succeeded in divid- Sing the county into districts of.more Nearly the same population, and giving all the people a chance to vote for all the commissioners. timistic Talks Certainly, history has proven the Soviets have not been very reliable supporters of their word unless the word happened not to clash with whatever they wanted to do at the moment.. We also recognize that the Soviets would like for the talks to end on the note of allowing them to do what they 'want to do and regulate us. Right now, they are insisting we pull missiles out of eastern Europe while no mention is made of them pulling back theirs. We have no naivete toward them even hinting at an agreement which would be anything except beneficial to their desires at the expense of our own. The Soviets are interested in only one people- themselves. Their negotiators could care less about whether or not we are satisfied. For this reason, we will not think harshly of our negotiators when, after two days or two decades of talking-however long it takes--our people come home with nothing more written down on a piece of pretty paper than they had when they left Washington. At least, as long as they are talking, we're hot fighting. This change was looked on as a great change for the better. (It was, too.) "Currently we read a great deal about single member district voting. Essentially, this is the bad _ system we were able to' rid ourselves of many years ago. Were we wrong? Was our forward step a bad thing for us? "We do not think so. Since the decisions of the commission affect all, all should vote upon the commissioners. That does not seem arguable to us. "So, despite the fact that currently one is branded as back- ward and heartless to be against single member district voting, the new wave is wrong. Should it become general, a board member will nave only his constituency to satisfy. And what satisfies them may be wrong for the bulk of the people. It will not be good. "We admit that we are not too concerned about what is popular. We are concerned about what we consider right. We hope that you . are too. And Now By Kesley Colbert Sp far this trip wasn't ex- actly hitting on on all six-I'd come to the Smoky Mountains to interview these mountain folks about the early settlers in this little mountain valley area seem- ingly cut off from civilization for years and years. I never did even find out why it was named Cades Cove. I gues Mr. Cades was one of the first to settle here. Well, I have was enjoying the sightseeing that (except for the weather) but that the interviews weren't ex- adzes actly something you'd want plows to write home about. As a took a matter of fact I hadn't ac- and y tually talked to anyone who lived in this cove. To be per- ( fectly honest and not count- ing George who volunteered to drive.me up here, I'd been here for a half a day and hadn't seen anyone. I guess you could say that my prospects went from slim to none as I stepped out of the car in front of John Cable's grist mill. A hundred years ago this little com- munity of buildings was the center of activity in Cades Cove. One glance around the place on this bleak January day told me it was as deserted as all the other places me and ole George had stopped. Those thought- ful National Park folks had built a visitor center and comfort station adjacent to the mill site. Those same thoughtful folks had put a sign up on the visitor center saying that it was closed from November 1 through April 30. Now, if this story was un- folding in front of you on your T.V. screen in the form of a mini-series, we've now come to the part where the camera zooms in real close and as I pull my hat down over my ears and button the top button on my coat you can see the determined look on myface to carry out my assignment. Well this ain'ta mini-series and I didn't have a hat or a coat and deter- mination is not my long suit, so I took one look around and ran to the closest shelter I could find. As I ducked under the roof of an old blacksmith shop I could see George sit- ting patiently in the car. He had the engine running and the heater on high now ole George knew how to handle the snow and the cold. I looked at the big built-up fireplace in that blacksmith shop. Man, what a fireplace. It warmed me up just look- ing.at it. You know, I bet you that years ago the smitty that ran this shop had looked out from under that roof in the middle of a hot July af- ternoon with sweat running down his face and wished that it would start snowing just as it was this day. I'll also bet you that he was a big man. He would have had to K - the Conclusion Kesley been to have worked forge and hammered hot iron into axes, knives, bull tongue s, etc. You just know he a lot of pride in his work ou can also figure that he fully realized how vital his work was to this com- munity. As I stared at that fireplace I could feel the sweat running down my face as if half the cove ,was gathered around watching me forge a graceful candle- stick for Mrs. Cable. This spell was kind'a broken when I realized it wasn't sweat running down my face -the snow in my hair was starting to melt. " I ran down to the next building which was the barn and one look at that old barn and you knew this Cable fellow was a well-to-do gentleman. The barn was about 3 times the size of his house and I don't care where you hail from, that's one sure fire sign of prosperity. The loft in this one -would have held tons and tons of hay. I was tempted mighty strong to find me a stick gun and climb up in that loft I would have been Gary Cooper in "High Noon". But, shucks, ole George might have come looking for me and he already thought I was about two bricks shy a load anyway, so I gave the idea up. But I bet the Cable children had spent hours and hours up here. I wonder which one of them got to be Gary Cooper .... As I made my way over to the mill I could see the .wooden race built to bring the water to the giant water- wheel on the side of the building. I was a little dis- appointed to find the big wheel was not turning today. But as I examined that big wheel and how it was con- nected to the gears inside which in turn moved the. giant millstones that crush- ed the corn I could see the in- genuity of these people that we so often refer to as simple folks. I don't know how "sim- ple" this mill was, but I know it turned corn into meal which could be made into bread or grits or hominy (Continued on Page 8) When It Gets Really Cold In Florida, Strange Things Likely to WAS IT COLD DOWN at your So-called dumb animals, are re-~ The Star, with the temperature the cold weather would have been a stayed in by the fire where all sensible Pr place the first of the week?

I say, "former" because Houdini is now an "it" cat. Sunday night, either Houdini used his animal sixth sense and realized it was hovering near 10 degrees outside, or he stuck his nose out during one of those trips outside for another log to put in the fireplace. At any rate, Houdini let it be known in no uncertain terms he intended to use all the wiles at his command to stay indoors. I couldn't blame him. When I woke up the next morning, in a cool bedroom, there was Houdini snuggled up in the blanket between Frenchie and I, managing to keep warm. icebox, when I came to work, I not he was all that eager to get to work ETAOIN ySHRDLU L By: W( learned to re-assess the word "dumb" when applied to animals.

Anyhow, here he came, riding in on a bicycle after riding nearly a mile into the north wind. I don't know how he took it. I admit to being a creature of comfort, now. There was a time when degrees on that morning, too, but I was out making pictures, ignoring the cold. A few years later the snow and bitter cold came back and I was out again in the cold, doing my thing with a camera. This time. I left all that foolish- ness up to John Ford and Willie. They're both vigorous and young. I ALL DAY LONG Monday, people were arguing about how cold it got. Some said it was down as far as six degrees. A couple said they checked their thermometers before day Mon- day morning and at least two said theirs read eight degrees. Some reported temperatures as low as six. Officially, I believe it was about seven or eight. Whatever it was, I just had to take someone else's word for it. I did not go out to check a shivering thermometer before day Monday. To me, it doesn't matter how cold it was. After it gets below 20 degrees, it all feels the same to me. I can work up just a good a shiver at 19 degrees as I can at nine. My feet get just as cold at 25 degrees as they do at five. When the thermometer gets below 30, I spend my energies trying to keep warm. I read in the papers where the deg Happen resident's inauguration was held floors because it was too cold outside Washington, D.C., where the mperature was reported at eight agrees Monday.

I imagine the parade would still have felt a bit of a brisk breeze hitting them in the face, had they been marching up Reid Avenue Monday morning. THE UNUSUAL FLORIDA wea- ther even affected our Florida team at the Super Bowl. After receiving the reports of how cold it was getting Sunday evening and how cold it would be Sunday night, the Dolphins just started shivering from the thought and "froze". Even the thought of that shower of sleet we had Sunday afternoon is enough to make any true-blue Flori- dian huddle up for comfort and pray for the middle of July.to come at once.

PAGE TWO Are You Concerned? I .. S"Aunt Bell" Will be Honoree at Special Recognition Day Sunday THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY, JAN. 24, 1985 PAGE THREE * Racheal Arrie Bell DuBose was born in Tift County, Georgia about five miles from Tifton, Georgia to Ra- cheal and Thomas Jackson in the year 1910. She was the youngest of nine. children. Her father was a rice mill operator and unfortunately passed away at the age of 60 when Aunt Bell, as we know her today, was only eight. Her mother then moved the family from the farm and settled in Tifton, Georgia for about three years. Then the family moved to Savannah, Georgia where Aunt Bell grew up. She lost her mother when she was twenty years old. In 1937, she came to Port St. Joe- one reason was because her oldest sister and her family were living in St. Joe. Her sister was very ill at the time and Aunt Bell came to offer whatever assistance she could. She started work-. ing with Mr. and Mrs. Miles Hurlbut at this time. In 1945 Aunt Bell decided to go into business with the Hurlbut's in a clothing store known as IMiouchette's Style Shop. This ,was located next to the Port Theatre. In 1949 she opened her own private kindergarten on Eighth Street and worked -with children until 1974. There were approximately 1390 children who attended Jack and Jill Kindergarten, During this time she had - several helpers. Among them : were: Mrs. Eleanor Hoker, Mrs. Bob Fox, Mrs. Dot Elizey, and Lou .Ann Rowe. She and Mrs. Hoker also operated a kindergarten in Wewa. Because of her hus- band's illness (Uncle Em- mette) she had to close her kindergarten. But she con- tinued to help Mrs. Ida Ethel Brown with her kindergarten for a year and a half. In 1951 Aunt Bell and Uncle Emmette helped to organize the Highland View Baptist Church. This was begun as a Mission from the First Bap- tist Church. She joined the Pentecostal Holiness Church on Garrison Avenue in 1961, where her support to the church and dedication as a youth worker and children's church teacher has become invaluable. Her love of God and the people of our com- munity has been proven time and time again as she devotes her time, money and energy to helping others during times of tragedy and misfortune, no matter what the personal sacrifice. She has also worked as a volun- teer with the public school system for .312 years. We know she is one of the most loved ladies in our communi- ty, and hope each of you will come and help us celebrate "Aunt Bell Day" Sunday,. January 27 from 3 p.m.-5 p.m. in the social hall of the Pentecostal Holiness Church on Garrison Avenue, Please come join us in saying "Thanks Aunt Bell, We Love You".

FICO Farms Will Market Blueberries and Pecans Tom Stevenson, manager of FICO Farms here in Gulf County, told the Kiwanis Club Tuesday, of the com- pany and its operations. FICO, is the acronym for Farmers Investment Com- pany, which has operations in California and Arizona and headquarters in Tucson. In the western operations, the company. is heavy into pecans, growing some 5,000 acres of the nuts, producing some 10 million pounds a year. The company main- tains its own shelling and packing operations, selling their products mainly to Sara Lee, Bama and Plan- ters. Water is becoming a criti- cal commodity in Arizona with the growth of urban areas. "You don't grow any- thing in Arizona without irrigating it and it's becom- ing more and more expensive to irrigate and harder to get permits to dig wells". Originally, the Gulf County operation, which covers some 28,000 acres, was cen- tered in small grains. Chang- ing markets and other coun- tries getting into grains with cheaper labor and govern- ment subsidies has made this market too competitive for the marginal operations pos- .sible here in Gulf County. Here we have the problem of too much water for many: grains." Stevenson. said. another reason -lte market is no longer so attractive is that the United States can feed itself on one quarter of the wheat it is presently produc- ing. Presently FICO is shifting its operations from a small grain operation to a special- ized crop producer.

How do the eye muscles affect how one sees? A. There are six muscles at- tached to the outside of each eye. These muscles constantly move the eyes to determine what reaches the retina. The image formed on the retina is transmitted to the brain by the optic nerve. For accurate sight, the muscles of each eye must work as a well- coordinated team, so that the images received by the brain from each eye are coordinated. In mild cases of poor mus- cle control, a person usually compensates by exerting extra effort to force the eyes to see as. a team. This extra strain may cause headaches and fatigue. In more severe cases, the patient may experience double vision. Eventually the brain tires of seeing different images, or the same image twice, and shuts out the image received from one eye. Unless coordination of the eye muscles is improved with visual training, in- creased seeing dif- ficulties will interfere with occupational, educa- tional and recreational activities.

"You can freeze blueber- ries and keep them very successfully for up to two years", Stevenson said. Stevenson said that at present, the farm operation has 25 permanent employees, "but as we diversify more and get heavier into blueber- ries and pecans, our labor force should increase consid- erably."

THURSDAY, JAN. 24, 1985 e .M = I KEEP CHILD RESISTANT U CONTAINERS-CHILD O RESISTANT The purpose of dispensing medicines in what are called "child resistant" containers is to substantially cut down and try to prevent the ever increasing * number of accidents involving children and drugs. But, this purpose is defeated when a child is given an empty medicine container with which to play. W It does not take a child too long a time of experimentation to figure out how to get an empty container open. The next time it could be one that is full. Give your children a break and buy that extra time a child-proof container gives you when they I haven't had a chance to find out how it works.

Tues- day night, even though the entire Shark squad had a chance to play, the Franklin county team made a contest of it and lost to the Port St. Joe Sharks by only six points, 91-85. Apalachicola is making its capabilities on the hardwood court felt through their sche-" dule this year, but they still weren't enough for the im- proving Port St. Joe team. The Sharks out-scored Ap- alachicola both periods dur- ing the first half, but Apala- chicola came back in the second half to tie the Sharks in the third period and take a nine point bulge in the final Tips On Producing Good Crop of BY ROY LEE CARTER County Extension Director There are several species of American type grapes - native to the southeastern United States. These include the muscadine cultivars (varieties) and several other species -of slip-skinned grapes- so called because the entire ball of flesh slips from the skin when the fruit is squeezed. These grapes have tough skins and flesh, and are seedy. The tender- fleshed, seedless European type grapes are not adapted to the southeastern United States. Hybridizing pro- grams have resulted in Am- erican cultivars much better than the native types. My, information for this article was provided by Extension Fruit and Nut Specialist Dr. Tim Crocker, of the Univer- sity of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences. The grape produces on long branches- called cones of previous season's growth. A great many of these cones must be removed each year, and the others cut back rather severely. For com- mercial production, no fruit crop has such a demanding pruning requirement; how- ever, satisfactorily pro- ducing fruit.for the home or local market requires a much less exacting program. Grape arbors, often used to landscape an area, require .that canes be thinned out and cut back only occasionally to prevent too dense a growth. This is a good time to prune your grape vines if it is needed. A good rule of thumb is to prune everything off the vine less than '/s inch size. Adapted cultivars tolerate a wide range of soils. Cul- tural practices, such as fer- tilizing, irrigating and con- trolling pests, are not un- usually demanding. Grapes (bunch and musca- dine) should be fertilized at Rotary (Continued from Page 6) increased to $2,000 and other major changes in the tax picture, such as the introduc- tion of at least a modified version of the flat rate tax.
