The city has been--receiving an- nual 'payments from 'the County of $3,000.00 for the past fifteen years. The 'payments were started when- the City of Wewahitchka could not produce enough revenue to run their .government and appealed to the County for help. The County Commission at the time listened with sympathetic ears to the po- 'sition of the County Seat and made funds available out of the race track fund ,payments made the County each year by the State out of re-' venue derived from the race track tax. Port St. Joe' began receiving the same amount due to the fact that. the County Commission felt it could not help Wewahitclhka wit y- out helping Port St. Joe to the same. -extent. The present County Commission in -drawing up their budget for the coming fiscal year, felt the County needed the money and ,ic te ,u suti, agai t ip _Liei' of POfrtL t Joe 'amd Wewahitbchka to keep, from hav- ing to 'make the annual payments,. Neither city could legally appeal the action since the distribution of the race track funds in this man- ner was contrary to state law. The Port St. Joe City Council had only recently 'set asid-e the fund 'received from the race track fund for the 'purpose of constructing and maintaining a cemetery here. The race track funds were to be sup- plemented by the local amusement tax in this venture. The Port St. Joe City Council has 'decided i-hot to- fight the suit since the payment of the funds j PAG TW TH STR. 3RTST.JOE GUF OUNY.

THEY'VE DONE IT AGAIN Yes sir, those County Commissioners have, done it again., This time they have sued the Cities of Port St. Joe and Wewahitchka for the $3,000.00 in race track funds which the County has been dispensing to the. said cities for the past 15 years. The boys are being right gener- ous though and are not asking for past payments back. They're just suing to keep from making any more such payments in the future. While this loss of funds does not concern the City of Port St. Joe too much, we pnder- stand the City of Wewahitchka is howling to high heaven since this was an important source of revenue to them. The City of Port St. Joe had allowed this fund along with their local amusement tax fund to secure a cemetery for the city. Whether this will mean the temporary "death" of the ceme- tery project or not, we don't know. We suspect the city will divert other funds for "luxuries" to the cemetery fund but the County Commissioners are messing up the, apple cart and making the City dads set down and do some more figuring. They 'were kind enough to take back the .$3,000 before the City had set their budget and includ- ed the $3,000 for the coming year. Congratu- lations Commissioners. Of course neither city has a leg to stand on to get the funds back since the distribution of the funds wasn't exactly legal in the first place. But that doesn't enter into the picture since it has been just as illegal since the payments first began 15 years ago. We wonder what brought about all this acting legal business anyway? We wonder what the County boys hope to do with this money since they get to keep only $3,000.00 of the $6,000.00 they are holding back. This is only a small drop in a big bucket of their present budget'and we,can't see how it'll do the inflated budget much good. If the County needs more money, they should go over their homestead exemption rolls and get some of those homestead exemptions that have been allowed rental properties down on the tax rolls and take the burden off of the few. LET'S KEEP IT We have heard that the County Commis- sioners are half-way thinking of taking the $7,500. for Pest Control out of the budget. We sincerely hope they don't, as we've seen the plan outlined by the state to use this money and another $1.75 of State money for each dollar of County mon- ey to carry on a permanent insect control pro- gram here in Gulf County to rid the county of insect breeding places. The program will re- quire all of the $7,500.00 and more too if it was available. The $7,500. is enough to get started on though and we hope they leave it in the bud- get. OLD-FASHIONED IDEA STREAMLINED If you doubt that there's a reason for every- thing, stop and reflect on this: While marriages have been declining, the birth-rate has been in- creasing! And the reason, of, purse, is that America is beginning to have big families again. A tre- mendous number of the new citizens comprising the record-breaking baby crops of the past two years were second, third, fourth or even fifth in the family. That race-suicide the intellectuals were so fearful of a few years ago, just isn't happening. America's young parents, who are so greatly to be admired, are reminding the world these days of the thing that made this nation great the devotion of this nation to its off- spring, and the urge to give them a better start in the world than their elders had. It should also be noted, however ,that the medical profession and American industry have rewoaded the su- perior courage of these young people, and Bring- ing up Baby just isn't the chore it used to be. In town or country .now-a-days, mothers have prenatal care, the babies are born in hospitals; and today's modern doctors, who are animated by the same practical humanitarianism as their horse-and-buggy forebears, can treat many more patients in the same long hours of devoted ser- vice The grocer too, looms large on the young .mother's horizon as a child-care specialist. -To- day, whether she lives in a big city, a smart su- burb, in a remote village or on a farm, her grocer has those scientifically-prepared strained foods and chopped "junior" foods the doctor order because baby-food specialists put them there. "Babies are our business", these people say, "opr only business". And, being of the soil themselves, they know that whatever the trend, rural families are always larger than urban families. - St. Augustine wrote: "Who would not trem- ble and rather choose to die than to be a baby again, if he were given such a choice?" But that , was back in the year Z27. Today, it's really not so bad. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Mr. Wesley R. Ramsey c/o The Star Port Sit.

RAMSEY Of course in our little epistle on the front page last week concern- -ing the special meeting of the city council failed to record, the high- light of the evening. About mid- way in ,the meeting which was around 12:20 last Saturday and well into the "eating hour", City Attorney Cecil Costin, Jr., excused himself from the meeting for a few moments to go "call home to ask Momma to reserve my dinner be- fore it is 'all eaten up". Now don't laugh. Cecil has a lot of brothers ,and sisters who happened to be at home visiting and coninig from a large family ourself we know you must take such precautions or you will find yourself opening' up a can 1of beans. While we are on city council meetings we will bring up a mat- ter that was discussed at the last meeting of the council Tuesday night. Two representatives from the trol area and to put their funds in State Board of Health were pres- with the' county to fight the pests ent.

The State men explained to the The councilmen flatly told the city council that certain mosquito ea.lth Department representatives and pest control areas could be that they were not interested in the declared all lover the state of a latter proposal unless Ithe county given territory. In other words, the commission, would ,frnth ,hem City of Pont St. Joe could declare the city proper 'a mosquito and pest 'control area and allot funds, to fight pests It was explained that the state matched any fund's raised by the district dollar for dollar for equip- ment and supplies to combat in- sects 'and also allowed 75 cents for each dollar raised by the district to be used for permanent control only. In other words, if the city allowed $5,000.00 in pest control funds, then the State would give the city $5,000.00 for equipment and supplies 'and $3,750.00 that could be used by the city only for per- manent pest control. Of course, th-e city allots nowhere near $5,000.00 for pest control. What the State men were urging the city ,to do was to declare them- with a definite plan for controlihg pests in Gulf County and would al- low a commission to be appointed to operate this ,work to see that each part of the county received their just share of .the protection. We'll go along with the commis- sion .on this decision. After all, the city now has their own temporary preventive 'set-up and they would be foolish to give it up unless they could be assured of at least as good protection as 'their have been able to furnish themselves. 3-D is coming 'to the Port Thea- tre.

This was the lowest highway death rate in the south, but con- siderably higher than the national ,average of 7.3.
