Chairman James McDaniel, when, the Board members agreed unanimously to have, the Road Department begin work immediately on clearing the site for building. The Board members reminded Kennedy of this fact, but he still offered his objections, but gave no opinion as to what part of the County government should pay for the clearing. The Board, after an hour's dis- cussion of the matter, agreed to sell pulpwood on the property, by a bid basis, to help pay for the cost of the clearing. It was estimated that some 200 units could be sold from the site. Kennedy also objected to work he said was being performed on the Sauls Creek Road. He said that earlier in the year the Board had Senator George G.

RAMSEY Jim Cooper, Chairman of the Ad. vertising and Promotion Committee of the Port St. Joe'-Gulf County Chamber of Commerce, told the Port St. Joe Rotary Club last Thurs- day that the Chamber is in the proc- A tentative budget for Gulf County was presented to the Board in its regular meeting Tuesday night by Clerk George Y. Core for study by the Board. Core said that the draft was very rough, as he had no requests from any of the County departments for funds and he had to estimate most funds by past experience, since the law states that he must present a budget for study by the Board. The preliminary budget reflected a rise in taxes for the com- ing tax year of 7.9 mills. Core said that the reason for most of this rise in millage will be due to elimination of the Race Track funds as a source of revenue by the County as a result of 'a local bill passed in the last session of the Florida Legislature, giving the first $230,000/of Race Track Funds accruing to Gulf County to the Gulf County School Board. In his budget presentation, Core had estimated' $228,219 for the General Fund budget. This would require 8.8 mills. Fine and For- feiture Fund,-,which includes the Sheriff's Department and -County.

These were the major items in the new budget ... . Other items in the budget included: Capital Outlay (new Court- house) $115,062.51, five mills. This item also includes funds to finish paying off a note for the Courthouse property site. The Gulf County free library program will continue for another year with $33,003 provided, using one mill. Gulf County Fire Control Dis- trict and Dead Lakes Water Management District will receive one half mill each and the Health Department will need 1.5 mills for its budget. Last year's budget required 17.9 mills to finance.1 This year's budget will require 25.8 as it now stands. One new item in the budget this year is the Capital Outlay Fund which will be used to pay off the indebtedness incurred by construction of a new Courthouse. This is one avenue of financ- ing available to the Commission. The law allows them to levy up to five mills by this avenue. The budget calls for the full five mills. The tentative budget millage reflects the loss of some $115,000 by the special bill giving Race Track money to the School Board. This item will require roughly seven mills to replace. The Board didn't take kindly to the loss of their Race Track Funds, apparently, as they instructed their attorney, William J. Rish to enter suit to test the validity of the bill and try to prove it unconstitutional. If successful, this would give the Race Track money back to the county -as it was prior to, the passage of the local bill. The Board adjourned the budget portion of its meeting Tuesday night until yesterday afternoon, but no results liad bey -i arrived at'' by press time for The Star yesterday afternoon. Ward Ridge Is Low Bidder On Park Road The Ward Ridge Construction Company of Port St. Joe was the apparent low bidder for construc- tion of the new St. Joseph's Penin- sula State Park road. Ward Ridge's bid of $398,213 was declared the low bid at the meeting of the State Road Board Tuesday of this week. Construction on the road will begin August 18 immediately after planned ground breaking ceremon- ies. It will take approximately eight months to complete construc- tion.

High School Will Register New Students Wayne Saunders, principal of the Port St. Joe High School said the school will be registering new students to the community today and tomorrow. Saunders said that several new- comers have already registered for the coming school year but several have not. Those wishing to register for grades seven through 12 should report to the school office today and tomorrow between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. But after 22 months on the job, the church congregation now over twice its original size-moved into new quarters last Sunday morning. The new building is complete with sanctuary, educational rooms, a kitchen and social hall. All in all, the building has nearly 4,000 square School Board Makes Bid for More Property Marion Craig, Superinten- dent of Public Instruction and Cecil G. Costin, School Board' Attorney, met with Edward Ball, chairman of the duPont Estate in Jacksonville last Thursday, asking for addition- al land for the Port St. Joe schools. The School Board is partic- ularly looking at the adjoining property to the Port St. Joe High School on Long Avenue. Long range planning of the School Board at the present time is to center the entire Port St. Joe school program in this area. In preparation for this planning, Craig requested, for the School Board, that a price be given the Board on all the property from 20th St. to Niles Road and from Juni- per Avenue on the West to Forest Park Avenue on the East. The property request would give the school area approxi- mately eight more blocks than it now has and would provide ample room for elementary, junior high and school high facilities with athletic fields and parking areas. Craig said that Ball was re- ceptive to the Board's request and asked him to get the Board together, formulate their long range plans and then contact the local agent for land pur- chases for any land needs the School has. The local agent is L. S. Bissett. The property asked for by the School Board has been platted on the City records, but has not yet been opened for building with no streets, or other city services provid- ed as yet.

Construction of the road is a necessary first step to make possible building of facili- ties which are expected to make the park one of the most popular in the state system. Following talks by Governor Haydon Burns and Congressman Bob Sikes, there will be a free fish fry for the big crowd ex- pected to attend. Besides Gov- ernor Burns and Congressman Sikes, four members of the Cab- inet and numerous members of the Little Cabinet and Road and Park Boards have accepted invi- tations to attend. Senator George Tapper is general chairman of the celebration. Civic groups, business firms and governmental agencies at state, county and city levels are joining to sponsor the observance. Port St. Joe organizations par- ticipating are the Port St. Joe-Gulf County Chamber of Commerce, the Junior Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary, Lions and Kiwanis clubs and the Retail Merchants' Associ- ation. The Rotary club of Wewa- hitchka, the Apalachicola Rotary and Lions Clubs and the Apalachi- cola Chamber of Commerce also are helping stage the celebration. State agencies taking part are the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission, the Board of Conser- vation, the Park Service, the Flor- ida Forest Service and the Florida Development Commission. At the local level, the Gulf Coun- ty Commission, the Wewahitchka Development Commission and the city governments of Port St. Joe, Apalachicola and Wewahitchka also are supporting the program. Business firms assisting are the Glidden Company, Port St. Joe Pa- per Company, Michigan Chemical Company, St. Joe Telephone and Telegraph Company and Ward Ridge Construction Company. Following construction of the access road, work will begin on minimum facilities expected to cost about $100,000. These in- clude an entrance station and entranceway picnic area and rest- rooms, necessary fencing, ranger residences, boat docks and ma- rina concession building, showers and restrooms at marina, 60-site camping area, water systems and communications. Initially, the park will occupy a 671-acre multiple-recreation area which has eight and a half miles of white sand beach. Long frontages on the Gulf and on St. Joseph's Bay afford excellent opportunities for shore fishing. Some of Florida's deepest inshore water is found near the Peninsula, giving fishing opportunities for some deep-sea specits within minutes from land. In adidtion to the 671 acres now in the park, the state is attempting to acquire the additional 1,728 acres between the present site and the northern tip of the peninsula. This tract now is owned by the federal government but has been declared surplus. If this could be added to the park, it then would have 14 miles of Gulf frontage and another 14 on St. Joseph's Bay.

ANNE JOINES Tallahassee-A word of caution about avoiding some outdoor haz- ards was issued today as an aid to sportsmen and outdoor enthusiasts by,Brantley Goodson, law enforce- ment chief of the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission. Goodson said, "precaution against hazards in the out of doors should start well before the trip begins. A complete physical may provide warning against excessive activity and a tetanus shot is the best in- surance against infection from as- sorted causes." He said, "fishermen are exposed to many wounds, such as being pricked by fish fins, snagged on an artificial bait or nicked by a knife while cleaning fish.'Fishermen, are also advised to include a small pair of snippers in their tackle box for use on location should someone be- come hooked in a fleshy area where the barb can be pushed through and cut off." The law enforcement chief said, "folks moving about fishing camps, especially those bare footed, might occasionally step on a fish bone which are highly infectious." A standard first aid kit should definitely be included among sportsmens' equipment to bulwark anti-infection precautions through a tetanus shot. Goodson said, wildlife officers patrolling fishing and wilderness areas are frequently called on to provide first aid and are trained to assist the summer outdoor trade under proper circumstances.

She is using sunflower and red kidney bean seeds which make a red and black and white necklace for her white blouse. There are many different kinds of seeds that (an be strung ihto necklaces. Watermelon seeds make a pretty black necklace and pumpkin seeds a cream colored one. But Chris is using sunflower seeds and kidney beans because it is winter time and both of these are easy to buy from a store. The only trouble is that they are so dry they have to be soaked in water to soften them in order to stick a needle through them. This soak- ing isn't needed when seeds are freshly gathered from the garden. Chris soaks a few at a time of each kind of.seed in a saucer and meanwhile strings those already soaked. She is using ordinary sewing thread, such as you'll find in Mother's work basket, and has doubled it for greater strength after threading it through her needle. First Chris threads on 20 sunflower seeds, sticking the needle through the middle of a flat side of each seed. Then she threads on one red kidney bean seed, but with this seed she flushes the needle through from one end to the other. . You'll see a completed necklace using the same two kinds of seeds around Chris' neck.

N. Kirkman re- vealed today a new enforcement technique aimed at curbing a dan. gerously rising highway death toll in Florida. "Eight hundred and ninety seven people have died in traffic acci- dents thus far in '65 and every ef- fort must be made to stop these tragic and unnecessary deaths on Florida's highways," stated Colonel Kirkman. In hopes of controlling this awe- some problem, Kirkman has order- ed each of the various troop com- manders throughout the state to pre-select those roads in their areas where the greater number of wrecks have occurred in the past and assign additional person- nel over and above those normally assigned with specific instructions Ito rigidly enforce the law.- Troopers will pay particular at- tention in these accident hazardous areas to the motorist who follows too closely; violates stop signs or signals; fails to yield the right of way; drives over the center line;' improperly changes lanes; and drives at a rate of speed which is unlawful or unsafe for the condi- tions. Colonel Kirkman stated, "Our en- forcement efforts this year are bet- ter than 7 percent over the same period in 1964 and 13 percent bet- ter than our 1963 efforts, yet Flor- ida traffic fatalities for the first 61/2 months of '65 have increased to 61 highway deaths over the same t period last year."

"Super-Right" Heavy Western Beef CHUCK ROAST Bone In LB. 39c Waterborne Cargo Shows Sharp Drop Vigorous commercial activity was shown by west Florida ports in 1964 with the exception of Port St. Joe, which was adversely affected by a petroleum pipeline handling commodities- formerly moved by water. Official waterborne freight statistics were released July 26 by Colonel R. C. Marshall, District En- gineer for the Army Engineers at Mobile, who is responsible for the development and maintenance of "panhandle" ports and inland waterways. Panama City showed an overall increase of 8 per cent. A sharp drop in waterborne ton- nage handled at Port St. Joe-135,- 820 tons in 1964 compared to 1,580,- 893 tons in 1963-was due mainly to use of a pipeline to transport petroleum products formerly mov- ed by water.' The Gulf County Canal connect- ing Port St. Joe with the Gulf Intra- coastal Waterway, which traverses an inland land cut in this area, also showed a decrease. Pensacola showed a decrease of 9 per cent. Smaller west Florida ports show- ing increases are Carrabelle, from 39,607 tons in 1963 to 40,962 tons in 1964; Apalachicola Bay, from 18,006 tons in 1963 to 46,294 tons in 1964. Shellfish and related prod- ucts accounted for a large portion of the tonnage except at Carrabelle, THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY, JULY 29, 1965' DoZ ol Know ? ' ^ '.

These vicious looking little in- sects may startle you.' However, the conspicuous pair of hooks at the end of their abdomen belies their looks. Earwigge do not live up to the superstition of attacking people in the ear. Dr. A. N. Tissot, University of Florida Agricultural Experiment Station entomologist,. says earwigs are harmless to humans and are not apt to damage lawns. He says they are commonly found beneath boards, in wood piles, un- der leaves and in other plant ma- terial. They become numerous in well kept lawns. Earwigs are large- ly scavengers feeding on dead and delaying organic matter. They rare- ly damage plants. In the event you find earwigs are becoming a nuisance, you can try chlordane or toxaphene. Many of the earwigs will survive the insecti- cide application. However, the feel- ing that you are getting revenge will give you a moral victory even if the earwigs remain as unwanted guests. Watch out for army worms in the lawn. They can ruin Bermuda and St. Augustine grass in a hurry. Sevin or toxaphene will control this pest if used according to the manufacturers recommendations. DDT, an old stand-by chemical, will kill the worms in some sections of the state. Annuals Get ready for fall annuals. Re- member, most of the choice an- nuals are planted during August and September. For best results, University orna- mental specialists recommend sow ing the seeds in a flat.

And too, with our prior experience with the State Park Board in securing the property now owned for the Park we are taking for granted that the State will also purchase the 1,747 acres now for sale by the, Government to enlarge this park. All of this, we believe, the people are taking for granted -because this extra land is of the same type being used for the park and because it is adjacent to the present park site. But we do not believe we can take any such thing for granted. And proof of our supposition is the statement made by Governor Burns last week to the fact that he "hates to talk about spending $125 per acre for park property in iso- lated, sparsely populated areas of Florida when parks are needed in population centers." We 'should keep this statement in mind during the next few months, especially until this government property is purchased by the State to enlarge upon our state park. We should use every means at our disposal to remind the Governor that it would probably take all of his planned road bond money to purchase the type property available on St. Joseph's Peninsula in these "developed" areas of Florida. We should also use our voices to remind the Governor that such action as removing the small portion of Northwest Florida Highway 98 from his proposed four-laning project is one of the reasons this area is "isolated." But the Governor should also be reminded that more and more people are finding their way to this "isolated" region to spend their leisure time. The "developed" areas offer too much in hustle and bustle for one to relax and enjoy himself. This type of relaxation is the type that St. Joseph Park will provide-even for those citizens of the "developed" areas. SWhile beachfront property in these "developed" areas is scarce and dear, there will come a day in the not too far dis- tant future when we in this area will cast our covetous glance at St. Joseph Peninsula State Park and with the cataract of the dollar mark over our eye we will, in all likelihood, remark, "isn't it a shame to waste all of that valuable land for a -park?" But by that time it will be a park to protect a small portion of this earth for enjoying the beauties of nature. We -will have the "wasted" land ever before us to remind us of what a natural piece of beach looks like ... what an unmani- cured wilderness looks like ... what an uncultured tree looks like ,. These things are vanishing from the scene and have vanished in the "developed" areas of the State of Florida as well as in other states. Instead of bemoaning the expenditure of money in an "undeveloped" section of Florida, the Governor had better thank his lucky stars that Florida still has such areas to adequately provide for those who come to Florida every year to enjoy such facilities, as it won't be long before such areas will be impossible to find. So, let's be on our toes and use our influence to see that the park is duly constructed in a manner to provide the utmost in park facilities and help the Governor be far sighted in his planning in spite of himself.

Senate action was completed last week on a similar bill. The Senate bill carries author- ization for an improved channel and jettying for East Pass at Des- tin. I am appearing before the House Committee in support of this project, and I will also ask for the inclusion of the Gulf County Canal. The latter will be more difficult since a favorable report from the Engineers has not yet reached the Congress, but is anticipated shortly.

This was the message John V. Carey, Social Security District Manager in Panama City, had to- day for the 17,000 persons in the Panama City area now receiving Social Security checks. The re- minder is being released because of the number of people who are overpaid Social Security benefits each year and must make refunds after the end of the year. This oc- curs when the "retired" benefici- ary's yearly earnings exceed the original estimates given to the So- cial Security Administration. Under the Social Security law, the test of whether or not a bene- ficiary under 72 is "retired" is based on his annual earnings Carey stated. If his earnings are $1,200 or less, he will get all bene- fit checks. For annual earnings be- tween $1,200 and $1,700, one dol- lar is deducted from benefit pay- ments for every two dollars earn- ed. For example: if yearly earn- ings were $1,700 ,there would be a deduction of $250 from the total benefit payments for the year. For ings were $1,700, there would be a dollar is deducted for every dollar earned. Since the test is a yearly test, the correct amount of benefits due a beneficiary is not determined un- til the year is over and the bene- ficiary files an annual report with ithe Social Sepurity Administra- tion, Carey continued. Yet timely receipt of checks is very important to one who is supplementing his So- cial Security check by employment, so the Social Security Administra- Empire and is today well on the road to the destruction of the United States." "Gus had the Political Itch just as does LBJ' today; Gu's was a card no less than LBJ proved to be 2,000 years later. Gus levied taxes that the populace could eat at the to eat of the bounteous bread that good old Gus gave them and to see the free circuses. There were not enough farm- ers left to raise the wheat needed to make the free loaves, but Gus, like LBJ, was never perplexed; he sent the Roman expense of the Roman Government. 'Just like today, the people flocked to the big towns Legions to Africa to make the Sahara blossom like a rose with wheat. "The stay-at-homes waxed fatter and fatter until none were left that could wield the short Roman sword and shield with which Rome had mastered the world, or that known part that was considered the effort. It became a snap for a roughneck barbarian like Attila to move out of the northern forest and put his heel to the neck of Rome .." "The stay-at-homes waxed fatter and fatter until none tainment in which "Unhappy Christians were thrown to the lions in the amphitheatre. It was fight the lion or have the lion eat the Christian." Emphasizing the unevenness of the contest, he says: "About 100 percent of the tossed Christians were eaten. Who would expect a Christian to eat a lion?" No more,, we suppose, than one would expect a steady, wage-earning modernday Christian without a deduction to his name to eat an Internal Revenue agent. And Mr. Harp concludes: "Too much credit has been dished up to Karl Marx for starting the Cancer of Socialism. The credit should be given to ole Augustus Caesar and a meed should be scooped to LBJ. "Watch your step, America." but of the beneficiary knows his earnings are due to increase, his estimate should reflect this fact. Also, if during the year wages or profits rise, a revised estimate of earnings should be filed with the Social Security office to prevent benefits from exceeding the total amount due, Carey concluded. Any beneficiary who is in doubt about how his work will affect his benefit payments may get addi- tional information or assistance from the local office, at 1135 Har- rison Ave. (Telephone 763-5331).

ANSWER: You Shouldn't! You can save time, hometown stores. Furthermore, modern distribu- tion brings the newest merchandise here as fast as anywhere and lower overhead costs that in larger places helps keep prices DOWN. How can this community grow and prosper, provide career opportunities for our young people, unless hometown folks spend most of their money here at home? ANSWER: It can't! Dollars spent away are gone forever. Dollars spent here stimulate local trade activity, finance business expansion and increase employment. Where is the money coming from to maintain and improve our schools,,civic services, our churches hospital, and other community facilities? ANSWER: Much of it must. come from 'xes paid and contributions made by our local business peo- ple. Part, of every dollar you spend helps build a better community for you. BY THE SEA, BY THE SEA by Margie Blake, Carnation Teen Committee The best of summer parties is the beach party, starting early in the blazing sun, winding up with songs after dusk. The best is the easiest, too: a nice crowd, a good pic- nic packed by you. At the beach there's something for everybody to do, from the most fervent athlete to the languidest sunbather. Even the chaperones love it; no noise problem with the whole sky the ceiling! While the sun is high, you'll swim, beachcomb for shells or pebbles, and flop on the sand (br the grassy bank) for sunbaths. And volleyball, softball, or touch football were never like this in P. E. class! At sunset it's time to eat, and you were a genius to pack such a fine supper and pack it so well. You made a list of the things you'd need (even salt and -napkins and beverage can openers); you packed and wrapped so that cold things stayed cold, nothing got crushed, and sand didn't seep into the food. (Tip: to keep. perishables cold, stack the well-chilled soft drinks against them.) The classic picnic menu may be old-hat, but it's still good: weiners to roast if you're permitted to build a fire, do-it-yourself cold cut sandwiches if you're not; potato salad, devilled eggs, little tomatoes.

Most of the .300 deaths a year in the U.S. due to lightning might have been avoided. Light- ning deaths are four times as frequent among males as among females because men are more exposed through outdoor work. and recreation. The chance of being fatally injured by lightning is higher in rural areas than in cities.. People in the city are some- what protected by tall build- ings. wh:ch conduct lightning- into the around. When a sud- den thunderstorm occurs, shelter is near at hand in the city. while in the country a person may be caught at some dist-, ance fronm.a comparatively safe. place of refuge. At least one out of four per- sons killed by lightning has, sought shelter undcr a tree or: near a tree. Because of their height. trees attract lightning, especially solitary trees. After- striking a tree. a bolt of light-. ning may flash sideways or it: may run along the ground and, kill the person in its path. A large proportion of deaths' by lightning occurs to people engaged in agriculture or other outdoor activity. Golfers with: metal clubs in their hands are in danger during an electrical storm. Lightning is a danger during day or night. although most deaths by lightning occur, in the afternoon. Upon the approach of a thunderstorm. golfers and farm- ers would be well advised to abandon their pursuits and seek the nearest shelter the lower, the better.
