Ford Presents the

Case for 4 Lanes

Tom Ford presented the case for
the proposed $300 million road
bond constitutional amendment to
be voted on in November, to the
Rotary Club last Thursday.
Ford .said that .the program will
four lane 1,241 miles of primary
roads throughout the State. At
present there are 10,600 miles of
primary roads in the state now
and they carry 61% of all traffic
in the .state.
Money to finance the primary
system comes Ifrom the first four
cents of the gasoline tax, plus Fed-
eralfunds. Ford said that a recent:
survey stated that 43% of Florida's
primary roads are in critical to
poor condition. The four-lane pro-
gram is designed to alleviate some
of this problem and leave $40,-
000,000 each year in regular in-
come to upgrade remaining primary
roads.
Ford said the program is being
pushed to upgrade the system, im-
prove safety, aid traffic flow and
provide vital links between other
four lane highways and access to
metropolitan areas from existing
interstate highways. '
Ford pointed out that as now
planned, and which will remain the
plan if the amendment is voted in
during the November elections, the
four lane projects .are scattered
throughout with the most mileage
located in central and south Flor-
ida where the greater traffic vol-
ume is located.

.
Our preacher, Rev. J. C. Odum came back to his pulpit Sunday
after ah absence of four weeks while he 'was having a cataract re-
moved from 'one ,of his eyes.
The preacher says that he has been blind in that one eye for
the past two years. Now he is trying to get the orb used to seeing
- once again.
One thing worries us ,though. As much as he was able to see of
our shortcomings with only one eye, it's going to be tough living with
him now that he can see out of both eyes. No more sneaking up
on his blind side.
SHe's even turned back his braille steering wheel.

A headline in one of the leading dailies of the area Tuesday
blared the iews that the Dodgers would take the World Series in
Four straight games by virtue of their peerless pitching and racy
runners.
But, they'll have to wait now until next year to perform this
feat.
The Twins murdered them Wednesday, 8-2, peerless pitching
and all.
The Twins big bats will beat the pants off. the Dodgers hurl-
ing dandies. Won't they?

This one takes the cake.
.A lady came by the other day and asked us how much more
s6he owed on her subscription.
SWe told her she was paid up, and when it was time to renew
'the price was still $3.00 per year in the county.
She retorted, "Oh, I knew I was paid up, but I figured I owed
more money now, since you have two sections to the paper."
She was referring to last week's issue of 16 pages and now
again this week.
This will probably be the last of these hurculean efforts for a
while, 'we expect, so her conscious can rest easy.

He: "I don't like to complain but my paycheck is five dollars
short."
Him: "Yeah, but we overpaid you ten dollars last month."
He. "Ar occasional mistake I can overlook but not two in a

Jaycees Tell of

Plans for Annual

Candy Sale
The Port St. Joe Jaycees are
happy to announce they have
just received their shipment of
Hallowe'en candy. The Hallo-
we'en candy drive will begin
October 11 and last through Oc-
tober 30.
Jaycee president, John Howard,
asks everyone in the community
to support this project, for the
funds received will be combined
with other funds to finance pro-
jects such as the Toys for Tots,
food baskets and many other
very worthwhile projects that
the Jaycees carry out.
The project chairman Ruel R.
Whitehurst, and other members
of the Jaycees will be calling on
the homes in Port St. Joe, Oak
Grove and Highland View so ev-
eryone will have a chance to pur-
chase their Hallowe'en candy
from the Jaycees. There is also
a plan to put a sales booth on
Reid Avenue every Saturday for
persons who may not be home
when the Jaycees call. Price of
the candy is $1.00 per bag.


Sharks Lose to

Rickards; Host

Bristol Friday
Port St. Joe's Sharks showed
still more improvement last Fri-
day 'in both their defense and of-
fense, but in spite of improvement
fell' victim to Rickards of Tallahas-
see, 32-0.
The Sharks offense, which has
been virtually at a standstill in the
first two games, began to move last
Friday night, but the punch was
still lacking to push the ball over
the goal line,
The Shark defense showed their
mettle in the first quarter by hold-
ing the Redskins yardless and
scoreless. In fact, neither team
scored a first down until late in the
second period when the Redskins
Peppy Cash began to find his way
around the end and picked up a
TD on a 13 yard run. After Cash
scored, the Redskins exploded for
25 points before the period was
over. One of the Redskins TD's
came on a Shark miscue after Rick-
ard's first touchdown. The Sharks
had received the kickoff and on the
first play fumbled. Cash picked up
the loose ball and carried it over
the goal line.
For the entire last half the
Shark defense kept the Redskins
on their reservation, allowing only
one TD in the last period.
The Sharks Larry Branch gath-
ered up most of their yardage for
the night. Branch was switched
from the line to the fullback po-
sition in the Marianna game and
is rapidly learning his way through
the stout defenses set up by the
Shark opponents thus far.
The Sharks ground out 83 yards
and completed two passes for an-
other 13 yards.
Three fumbles during the night
added to the Sharks troubles. They
continue to be stingy with penalty
yardage however, giving up only 10
to Rickards while getting 93.
BRISTOL TOMORROW
Tomorrow night ,the Sharks will
be looking for their first win of
the season against Bristol in the
home park. Bristol has a pretty
good season going for them and
promise to make it tough going
in their part of the football field.
Game time is 8:00 p.m. Be there.

Commission Preparing for Vote In



Move to Enlarge City's Boundaries


Ordinance Is

Up for Study

An attempt to expand the City
Limits of the City of Port St. Joe
came a step closer Tuesday night,
as the Commission discussed at
some length the advantages and
disadvantages of expansion.
The area of expansion that is
causing the Commission to explore
the matter carefully, is the inclu-
sion of Oak Grove in their plans.
Present expansion plans call, for
going one section line beyond the
present City Limits to the North,
East and South. This would take in
all of Oak Grove. The only area in
these bounds not included in the
expansion plans is Ward Ridge.
Commissioner John Robert Smith
noted that taking Oak Grove into
the City would cost the City a good
deal of money in furnishing sewer
and water facilities, with the sys-
tem just breaking even throughout
the city at present. He said that
the installation with no profit in-
volved would be a. liability to the
City.
Attorney Costin noted that in-
cluding Oak Grove in its plans
would make the City eligible for
Federal grants for expansion of
service lines and of facilities to
handle the area. Costin noted that
in this area, cost to the City would
be very small, but the elimination
of danger from septic tanks and
well water supplies in the area as
a health hazard would be to the ad-
vantage to the City and Oak Grove
as well.
Mayor Frank usnnen noted also
that property owners in the Oak
Grove area would get reductions
in their fire insurance rates of
about 50% by coming into the
City as well as receive better fire
protection, police protection and
garbage collection service.
ORDINANCE PRESENTED
Attorney Costin had an ordin-
ance prepared on the expansion
procedure at the meeting Tuesday.
The ordinance would provide for
an election, as the law requires, to
determine two questions: 1. does
the City of Port.St. Joe want to in-
corporate Oak Grove to be voted
on by Port St. Joe voters and 2. if
Oak Grove wants to be incorpor-
ated into Port St. Joe to be voted
on by Oak Grove citizens. If either
question fails to carry by a major-
ity, the Oak Grove area could not
be included in the City Limits.
A copy of this ordinance was
given to each of the Commission-
ers to study and they will probably
take further steps at the next meet-
ing which is October 18.

Jaycee Bicycle

Rodeo October 16

The Port St. Joe Junior Chamber
of Commecre, with the cooperation
of the police department and the
school board, will stage a bicycle
rodeo on October 16th in front of
the Port St. Joe Elementary School
on Long Avenue, the chairman of
the event announced today.
Open to all Port St. Joe area
youngsters, the competition will
feature a riding course designed to
test a bike rider's skill in maneuv-
ering his vehicle while following
the rules for bicycle safety. In ad-
dition, the Jaycees offer each en-
trant a free bicycle safety inspec-
tion during which they will apply
reflective markings to the bicycle
for night time safety.
The Port St. Joe Bicycle Rodeo
is part of a nationwide "lite-a-bike"
program of bicycle safety being
conducted by the U. S. Junior
Chamber of Commerce, Raymond
Lawrence, committee chairman,
said.
For youngsters who cannot par-
ticipate in the rodeo on October
16th, the Jaycees plan to establish
inspection stations where bike rid-
ers can have their bikes inspected
and marked with reflective tape,
Mr. Lawrence said.

E. F. Gunn Says Hospital


Roof Can Be Repaired


Will Present Specs
For Repairs Monday

Local contractor E. F. Gunn re-
ported to the City Commission
Tuesday night that he had exam-
ined the Municipal Hospital roof
thoroughly and was of the, opinion
that all of the roof leaks at the
hospital were coming from where
the old building and the new build-
ing were joined. He estimated that
proper repairs could be made for
$300 to $500.
Gunn said that on his inspection
of the roof that no serious damage
to the roof as a whole was appar-
ent. He reported that in one place,
flashing had separated which could
be easily repaired. He told the
Board that the leak was coming
from a separation of the aggregate
slabs adjoining where the two sec-
tions of the building meet and that
repair to a strip of roof along the
joint will stop the leaks.
Gunn offered his services to
draw up specifications for the job
stating, "I'm as "much concerned
with the condition of the hospital
as anyone because I built it and
want it to be a good job. I'm sorry
the roof leaks, but it is just one of
those things that happen sometime
when you try to join two separate
pours of concrete aggregate." He
said the roof itself was not crack-
ed, but the crack was in the aggre-
gate decking and water was com-
ing in through a sliding expansion
joint at this point.
The Board asked Gunn to pre-
sent them with the repair specifi-
cations Monday, so that they could
get on with getting the roof fixed.
Gunn said he would have the
drawings ready.

Alumni Meeting Friday
There will be an Alumni meeting
October 8 at 7:00 p.m. before the
football game in the library at the
Port St. Joe High School.
All graduates of Port St. Joe
High and interested persons are
urged to be present.


Building Permit Needed

For Home Enlargement
Commissioner John Robert
Smith noted to the City Commis-
sion Tuesday night that some
residents of the City do not rea-
lize that it is now the law requir-
ing citizens to obtain building
permits to add on to homes.
Smith said that some undue
hard feelings are resulting to-
ward the City Auditor and Clerk
J. B. Williams when he attempts
to enforce the ordinance requir-
ing this procedure.
Smith noted that for the most
part, the misunderstandings are
brought about by requests for ad-
ditions which would violate the
City's zoning ordinance.
Smith pointed out that Wil-
liams has been instructed to stop
any violations of the ordinance
until the Commission can exam-
ine the situation and he should
not be the brunt of hard feelings
for carrying out his instructions.

There have undoubtedly been cases of brutality, but veri-
fied instances are being lost in a sea of inaccurate or trivial
accounts of mishandling by police. Senate Democrat leader
Mike Mansfield has decried the "loose charge of police bru-
tality," and added, "The police are not privileged to take
sides or discriminate as among laws. Their job is to uphold
all laws and, on the whole, they do an excellent job of it."
The question is what is brutality?' As defined by some of
the rioters, it becomes a grotesque insult to the intelligence
of law-abiding citizens. One case cited by U. S. News tells
of a brutality complaint to the Department of Justice from a
Negro woman in the South who said her son had been abused
for merely stealing a bag of peanuts. Inquiries showed that
what her son stole was a huge burlap bag full of peanuts in
a trailer truck-and that he had stolen the truck too. Then
there was a stout lady who, with demonstrators, lay down
in the street to resist arrest. Her complaint: "The police had
not picked her up 'gracefully' in taking her to the van."
Then there are also charges bf "verbal brutality" in
which police officers are accused of using rough language.
In Berkeley, California, in 1964, student demonstrators at the
University of California staged disorders in defiance of uni-
versity authorities and police. A student "Police Brutality
Committee" began grinding out propaganda before the first
arrest, and students were primed to start chanting brutality
as soon as the police appeared on the scene. Berkeley police
captain William Beall said: "Brutality is the first thing that
occurs to people to yell when they are trying to undermine
:authority.... A policeman dreads the moment when someone
will yell 'brutality.' That charge robs him of his dignity. It
takes away everything he's trying to do-what'he believes
in."
An official of the International Association of Chiefs of
'Police, Charles E. Moore, told the Senate Internal Security
Subcommittee that the demonstrations at Berkeley were a
classic example of techniques used by communists to "de-
stroy the public confidence in the police-when you destroy
the symbol of authority and of the laws you bring about
anarchy."
The career of a policeman is hazardous at best. Unless
he has the support of all law-abiding citizens, his job becomes
virtually impossible as well as hazardous. sFBI figures on
police brutality cases that come into federal courts tell a
story in themselves. Between mid-1964 and mid-1965, 1,700
complaints of police brutality were referred to the Federal
Bureau of Investigation. Forty seven such cases were pre-
sented to federal grand juries. Five cases led to conviction
in federal courts. On the other hand, the FBI records, as
published by U. S. News, indicated that 57 policemen were
murdered by criminals in 1964 alone; 197; in the last four
years. The number of policemen murdered annually in line
of duty has doubled since 1960. There were 18,000 police
officers assaulted in 1964. That was one out of every 10
policemen in the ,country. In 1964, 7,738 were injured in
assaults, or one out of every 24. These are figures for city,
county and state police.
The trained, legally constituted police officer is our first
line of defense against crime and violence. In many ways,
the police force provides a rewarding career for young dedi-
cated officers. But it is no sinecure and as U. S. News con-
cludes, "Prospects are that conditions for the policemen are
not likely to show much improvement in times ahead."

aco Club is again fortunate in hav-
ing the LeMoyne Art Foundation
of Tallahassee sponsor a free art
exhibit at this year's "Seafood Fes-
tival" day, Oct. 23. A considerable
number of professional and non-
professional artists will be partici-
pating ,and the work displayed will
be in many mediums. Some art
will be for sale, beginning at nom-
inal to moderate prices.
The president of the Apalachi-
cola Woman's Philaco Club, Mrs.
J. J. Nichols, recently announced
the donation to the Club by Clyde
N. King of Eastpoint, Florida, of
two original oil paintings to be
used for fund-raising purposes.
These paintings will be awarded to
contributors at the drawing, which
will take place at the Festival Ball
the evening of Oct. 23. One of
these paintings is now on display
at Lilius Jewelers, where additional
information may be obtained re-
garding tickets.
It is hoped that Port St. Joe's
citizens will come and bring their
families ,for there will be a free
seafood dinner served at noon.

This week has been a busy one
for most of us. Friday will mark
the end of the first six weeks and-
this calls for six weeks tests. This
week end will probably be an es-
pecially welcome one.
Last Wednesday the student
body attended an assembly in the
auditorium. Jake Belin, Andy
Trammell, and Sherry White spoke
on their activities at Boys State
and Girls State. This was an im-
pressive assembly since the
speeches centered around prepar-
ing ourselves to be better citizens.
The first edition of the "Purple
Wave" rolled off the presses Wed-
nesday night. This paper was sold
for 10c on Thursday. It contained
news of the first four weeks of
school.
Friday the annual staff had a
busy day as senior portraits were
made. These and other important
pictures were made during the day
from early morning until late af-
ternoon. The senior portraits
should be back within the month.
Friday night after the football
game, the Methodist Church held
a hamburger supper for the stu-
dent body. Many students attended
during the evening.
This week's game against Bris-
tol will be the last before Home-

Gulf Cablevison Announces


S Cable TV Has Started

The cable has been placed from Ist Street to the Centennial Building in the
City of Port St. Joe, and it is anticipated that when a sufficient number of sub-
scribers can be obtained from 1st Street to Avenue G, the cable will be placed
in this area, and when a sufficient number of subscribers can be obtained, the
cable will be extended to Oak Grove. A sales campaign will be started in the
very near future in these areas to obtain the necessary number of subscribers.

At this time, reliable television signals are provided on Channel 4, Chan-
nel 6 and Channel 7. The television signals received for Channel 3 and Chan-
nel 10 are reliable approximately 40% of the time; however, work is in
progress, and it is hoped that these signals will be improved in the future.
Channel 3 will be received as Channel 2 on your television set and Channel
10 will be received as Channel 9 because of technical arrangements which
had to be made at the receiving antenna site.

Gulf Cablevision Company has arranged with St. Joseph Telephone and
Telegraph Company for the telephone company to handle applications, serv-
ice connections, answer service calls, and perform all the collections for the
Cable TV service in Port St. Joe.

Applications for service will be handled in the same manner as applica-
tions for telephone service. That is, you may apply at the local telephone
business office or call 227-5141 if you desire to have a Cable TV connection
made at your home. The charge for the Cable TV service is $5.00 per month
payable in advance with the charge beginning October 15th, 1965. This means
you will receive the first bill for Cable TV service November 15th, 1965 and on
the 15th of the month thereafter.

There is no connection charge being assessed at this time; however, it is
anticipated that after January 1st, 1966, a service connection charge will apply.

The telephone company will handle repair service for Cable TV in the same
manner as it handles repair service for the telephone company. If you have
an occasion to report a trouble with your Cable TV service, you should call
227-8911 between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M., Monday through Fri-
day, and if the trouble occurs outside of the above hours, then you should re-
port the trouble to the telephone operator.

Gulf Cablevision will attempt :to provide the best service possible and so-
licits any additional subscribers that might like to have the Cable TV service
into their homes. 2t

MERCHANT'S LEAGUE
By Robert Montgomery
Lanes 1 and 2 saw Vitro I take
four points from St. Joe Lanes
Monday night, and I do believe St.
Joe Lanes had a curse on them as
all members bowled poorly. Bill
Grape had a 477 for Vitro I while
a new bowler, Bob Colson, was
high for St. Joe Lanes with a mere
374. 4- 1
On lanes 3 and 4, Costins' out-
lasted St. Joe Tel. & Tel. by taking
3 of 4 points. Ashley Costin took
over tops for Costins' with a 505.
Virgil Daniels is still going for the
Telephone Co. as he had a high of
475.
Glidden remained on top as they
took 3 from their closest contend-
er, Cooper Chevrolet (formerly
Richard's Raiders). Ed Palagyi
won't let anyone on Glidden's
team top him as he had a high
of 528. Joe Richards of Coopers
matched Ed's 528 as he was high
for Cooper.
On lanes 7 and 8, 13-Mile Oyster
Co., is still having trouble getting
started as they dropped three to
Vitro II. Joe Padgett took honors
for 13-Mile with a 444. Charles Wil-
liamson was high for Vitro II with
468. The only 200 bowler this week
was Jimmy Costin with 208.

In the September 30th issue of The
Star an article written by Silas R. Stone ap-
peared in support of the contention of cer-
tain parties that the 1747 acres of surplus
property on St. Joseph's Peninsula be sold
to private interests. The principal argu-
'ment suggested in favor of private purchase
and development of said acreage was its
value to Gulf County on the tax rolls. This
argument may appear sound at first glance,
but an investigation will reveal to any in-
terested party that it is completely false.
In the September' 30th issue of The
Star, Mr. Silas R. Stone made the following
statement, which we quote:
"EXISTING PRIVATE HOLDINGS
DUE TO BE REVALUED
Mention has been made of the ap-
proximately 1500 acres of peninsula land
owned by Mr. Ed C. Wright, lying on the
southern half of the peninsula, which
has not been developed, and which is on
the tax roll at a low figure. We have no
control over Mr. Wright's affairs, nor,
his land, but think carefully for a mo-
ment. If the land lying to the north of
the park is purchased at $750 per acre
and placed on the tax roll at such an ap-
proximate figure under the present policy
of 100% valuation that Tax Assessor
Sammy Patrick has announced will be ef-
fective in 1966, doesn't it stand to reason
that under the new 100% policy, Wright's
land must be assessed on the same basis
as other private property located on the
peninsula? This means that we will be
collecting practically new taxes on ap-
proximately 3250 acres assessed at a total
value of over.$2,400,000. At the present
Spillage rate of 51.8 mills, this property
would have brought in $122,880 this year
in taxes to Gulf County, over $50,000 of
which would have gone to the schools for
possible raises in teacher's salaries."
Mr. Stone's argument that 3250 acres
would be assessed at a valuation of $2,400,-
000 and at the present millage rate of 51.8
mills would produce $122,880 in taxes to
Gulf County is absolutely unsound and mis-
leading for the following reasons:
1. The following facts were obtained
from Tax Collector's Office of Gulf County
relating to acreage presently .in private
hands on the Peninsula and its present tax
value to the County:


;Owner
Ed Wright
Glenn J.
Henning
Troy M.
Deal, Jr.
George G.


Val. for
No. of Tax
Acres Purposes


Tax Rec.
by Gulf
County


1,637 $19,425.00 $ 775.06

44 2,640.00 105.34

225.7 5,550.00 221.46


Tapper Co. 73.24 1,120.00 44.69
Total 1,979.94 $28,735.00 $1,146.55
The total of the above acreage is
1979.94, with the total assessed valuation
for tax purposes of $28,735.00, which pro-
duced $1,146.55 in taxes to Gulf County in
1964, or about 58c per acre. The average
assessed value per acre is $14.51.
2. Mr. Stone's average valuation per
acre of $738.46 would presume that the Tax
Assessor of Gulf County would increase the
valuation of all property on the Peninsula
as well as similar type property in the
county at more than five thousand per cent
(5000%) of its present valuation for tax
purposes.
3. Section 193.03, Florida Statutes 1965
provides in part that the County Tax -As-
sessor shall reduce the millage in propor-
tion to the increase of the general level of
assessed value over the preceding year;
thus, the village of 51.8 mills would be de-
creased by the percentage of increase in
valuation, which in this case would be ap-
iproximately 5000%.
4. The Tax Assessor under the Just
Valuation Statute must take into consider-
ation seven (7) factors to determine the
value of property for tax purposes, two
of which we mention will be applicable in
this case, i.e., the present use of the pro-
perty and the income produced from the


property. (Mr. Wright purchased his pro-
perty almost 18 years ago, in 1948, and
there is no apparent income fro mthis pro-
perty).
5. Our Florida Constitution requires
that there must be a uniform and equal
rate of taxation without discrimination for
similar type property; and, therefore, all
property along the beach on Highway 98
in acreage, or otherwise, in Gulf County
would necessarily require a 5000% increase
in valuation by the Tax Assessor (Such ac-
reage is presently assessed at approximate-
ly $6.00 to $9.00 per acre and produces ap-
proximately 35c per acre in taxes to the
county).
6. The Tax Assessor would have to
take into consideration the fact that there
is no paved road extending into the Penin-
sula, unless the County should decide to
build one for private interests which
would cost the county from secondary road
funds approximately $40,000 per mile for
a minimum of six. (6) miles from the exist-
ing park development.
Let us assume that the Tax Assessor
plans to double or triple the valuation of
similar property for the next tax year. He
would, of course, have to reduce the mill-
age proportionately under Section 193.03,
Florida Statutes. However, even if he were
allowed to maintain the present tax mill-
age, the additional 1747 acres at a doubled
valuation (2 x 58c per acre) would produce
approximately $2,026.52; and at a tripled
valuation (3 x 58c per acre) approximately
$3,039.78. This amount, may be sufficient
to pay one bus driver's salary for the Gulf
County school system for one year if the
school system received the additinoal taxes.
(It receives less than one-half on a 20 mill
basis).
APPARENTLY MR. STONE DID NOT
CHECK OUT OTHER FACTS VERY
CAREFULLY PRIOR TO HIS ARTICLE
IN THE SEPTEMBER 30th ISSUE OF
THE STAR SINCE THE OFFICIAL RE-
CORDS OF THE FLORIDA PARK SER-
VICE ARE NOT CONSISTENT WITH
HIS STATEMENTS.
St. Andrews State Park -
1. Notwithstanding his statement in
The Star, there are preliminary develop-
ment plans for developing the Northern
area of St. Joseph's Peninsula. These plans
will be placed in several downtown store
windows during the week.
2. His statement relating to St. An-
drews State Park, which we quote:
"Investigation of St. Andrews State
Park has shown that; it has 1022 acres,
of which only 300 acres can be utilized as
camping ground. Nevertheless, only 150
acres have actually been developed, and
there are no immediate plans for further
development. The vast majority of visi-
tors to the park are local people and visi-
tors to the beaches who enjoy the fishing
along the jetties."
is misleading since there are only 565 acres
in St. Andrews' State Park accessible to the
public. 457 acres are across the channel and
are presently inaccessible to the public. Of-
ficial records of the Park Service which tab-
ulate state and out of state visitors to this
park reflect that a vast majority of the
visitors to S. Andrews State Park were
out of state. These records reveal that be-
tween July i, 1964 and June 30, 1965, 281,-
583 out of state cars, representing all 50
,states and many foreign countries visited
St. Andrews State Park. During the month
of July, 1965, there were 132,806 out of
state cars visiting St. Andrews State Park.
During the mopthsof May through August
of 1965, the records of the Park Service re-
veal that 45,125 campers were turned
away from this park because of inadequate
space. We are advised by the Florida Park
Service that much of the park will remain
in its natural state since natural, unspoiled
seashore properties provide the best camp-
ing areas.
3. The statement that the Chamber of
Commerce and its Board of Directors en-
dorsed action requesting the State of Flor-
ida to refrain from purchasing the addi-
tional 1747 acres of surplus land on the St.


Joseph's Peninsula is partially true. Ac-
cording to the minutes of the Gulf County
Commission, the President of the Port St.
Joe-Gulf County Chamber of Commerce ap-
peared before this Board on September 14,
1965, and presented a proposed resolution
which had already been prepared request-
ing the State of Florida to refrain from
purchasing the additional acreage and
asked that the County Commission adopt
this resolution. The resolution was deferred
until September 16, 1965, two days later,
at which time it was adopted with three
County Commissioners voting favorably
and two opposing. It was explained to the
County, Commission that it was urgent that
this resolution be adopted immediately so
that it could be presented to the .Cabinet
ini Tallahassee the following Tuesday, Sep-
tember 21, 1965. The action of the Board
of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce
ana the three members of the County
Commission caught many people by sur-
prise and when the acting Chairman of the
Cabinet, Hon. Doyle Conner, was contacted,
he advised that there was nothing on the
agenda for the meeting of September 21st
relating to St. Joseph's Park and that Cab-
inet action had already been taken approv-
ing this purchase. With only three days
available to oppose this, action, interested
people secured the signatures of more than
1100 persons on petitions, and a special pe- /
tition by the membership of the Port St.
Joe-Gulf County Chamber of Commerce
was signed by 62.4% of the paid. member-
ship opposing the action, of the Board of
Directors of the Chamber of Commerce.
In addition, the Retail Merchants Division
of the Chamber of Commerce adopted a
resolution opposing this action. Practically
all of the businessmen and their employees
in, the City of Port St. Joe signed a petition
opposing this action by the Directors of
the Chamber of Commerce. It is our con-
tention that the vital interest of the public
in this peninsula for, park and recreational
purposes as evidenced by many resolutions
adopted during the past few years by civic
organizations! the County Commission and
the City of Port St. Joe would dictate that
the Board of Directors of the Chamber of
Commerce should have secured a vote of
the membership on this question prior to
its presentation to the County Commission.
This is more apparent from the reaction
of the membership and its Retail Merchants
Division in opposition to the action of the
Board of Directors.
4. We must take issue with the state-
ment in the September 30th issue of The
Star that the Cabinet directed that the
question of purchasing the 1747 acres be
set aside until the staff of the Park Board
could re-analyze and re-appraise the situa-
tion in view of the facts presented. The
Cabinet in fact stated that the Outdoor
Recreational Council would make its rec-
ommendations on the purchase of this pro-
perty and.until then the action of the Cab-
inet in approving the purchase would stand.
IT IS OF VITAL INTEREST TO THE
PEOPLE OF THIS AREA THAT THE
CABINET PROCEED WITH THE PUR-
CHASE OF THIS LAND FOR FUTURE
DEVELOPMENT AS A STATE PARK
AND RECREATIONAL AREA FOR
THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1. The State of Florida can purchase
the land for park and recreational pur-
poses at a price to the State of one-half the
current market value of the land.
2. It is extremely important that the
state preserve. land for future develop-
ment for state park and recreational pur-
poses when such land can be obtained at a
so that more and more people have a
greater amount of time that they can spend
in recreation. (3) Desire for a change of
pace. With the urbanization of our ,popula-
tion, a greater portion of our population is
subjected to the hustle and bustle of city
life. These people long for the serenity of
the unspoiled beauty of our state parks.
5. The 1954-55 Seashore Report by the
reasonable price. For example, at the meet-
ing of the Outdoor Recreational Planning
Committee, consisting of members of the


Florida Cabinet, on Monday, September 27
1965, a 120 acre tract in Fort Myers as a
proposed outdoor recreational project was
offered to the State for $1,200,000 and 72
acres in Northeast Florida was offered for
approximately $100,000. The cost of the
land may be prohibitive in the future if not
purchased at this time.
3. The historical significance of the
Peninsula is of extreme importance to this
area of Florida. In the summer of 1965 ex-
cavations made by Dr. Hale G. Smith of the
Department of Anthropology and Archaeo-
logy at Florida State University yielded
hundreds of historic artifaats of the colo-
nial Spanish period of 1700-1720. Other
findings indicate a Spanish outpost on St.
Joseph's Peninsula as early as 1701. Fu-
ture excavations are planned in this area
and it is anticipated that findings will be
made of prime national historical import-
ance. The rehabilitation of certain of these
sites by the State Park Service would be in
itself an important tourist attraction.
4. According to the Florida Park sur-
vey from 1952 to 1962 our state park at-
tendance increased more than 500%, with
an increase in over-nite camping of more
than 1000%. The factors to which this was
attributed were: (1) increased mobility of
the public. There are more people who can
afford automobiles, camping vehicles and
camping equipment. (2) More leisure time.
,Our work week has shortened considerably
National Park Service says this about St.
Joseph's Peninsula, which we quote:
"There are few remaining undeveloped
and accessible seashore areas along the
Atlantic and Gulf coasts which possess
recreation qualities .superior to those of
St. Joseph's Spit Among all Gulf
Coast areas investigated by this survey,
from the Florida Keys to the Mississippi
Delta, St. Joseph's Spit has been selected
as the outstanding area for recreational
purposes. Consequently, this area has
such high recreational value, and also
such great public inspirational magne-
tism as a wild unspoiled seashore and
bay environment, that.it should never be
permitted to change from public to pri-
vate ownership. The public has an inher-
ent right to enjoy a public sea, or a pub-
li: camp or trail along a public shore. The
general public benefit can be understood
when ten miles of developed private
shbre, sold off or leased in 100 foot lots
for the personal use of only 530 families,
is compared to a similar ten miles of
beach dedicated in perpetuity for the en-
joyment of countless millions who have
a prior claim which they hold as Amer-
ican citizens."
The above report was prepared more
than 10 years ago, and the population of
Florida has almost doubled in this period
of time. With the rapid growth of Florida
has almost doubled in this period of time.
With the rapid growth of Florida in pop'
ulation and its immense popularity as an
outdoor recreation state, the facts quoted
in the above report become self-evident,
and it is of vital importance to our area that
the 1747 acres on St. Joseph Peninsula ne-
ver be permitted to change from public to
private ownership.
We believe no one will question the im-
pact of the tourist dollar on the economy
of our state, nor on the economy of the
community to which tourists are attractel.
According to a report of the Florida De-
velopment Commission, the expenditure of
tourists in 1964 added almost 2.6 billion
dollars in sales for various retail and ser-
vice establishments at their destination as
well as along the routes they traveled.

Band Parents Thank Residents For

Response To Birthday Calendar Sale


The band parents responsible for
the Community Birthday Calendars
wish to express their thanks to the
people of Port St. Joe and the sur-
rounding area for their patronage
and cooperation in helping with
this, the main project each year
that supports the local band.
From last year's calendars and
smaller projects the amount of over
$2,000 has been spent" over and
above the amount contributed by
the county school board. This in-
cluded the purchase of several sec.
ond hand instruments to provide
for those musically inclined stu-
dents who couldn't afford to buy
their own- It also included repair
(of instruments over and above the


many repair jobs Mr. Dean was
able to do.
But a goodly portion of it paid
for materials needed to enlarge
the music department in the high
school curriculum. Instruments and
music amounting to over $500 were
bought for the Junior High School
Enrichment classes. More than $100
was used for the purchase of rec-
ords and other materials used in
the Senior High School Music Ap-
preciation class.
For a good number of years a
small nucleus from the potential
of every father and .mother of
every band student, has given their
time and effort to support this
band which is such an asset to the


301 Monument Avenue


school and the community. They
have helped purchase over $7,000
worth of uniforms, and replaced all
the bass horns with two new sets:
one, light weight for marching, and
the other set of a quality to be used
for concerts. Twice it was necessary
for this small group to sign a note
at the bank because the amounts
needed were too large to be raised
in one year.
No small amount of credit goes
to the band director for the past
12 years, Herman Dean. He built
the band from a meager beginning
to a 100 piece band at one time.
Rumor has it that Mr. Dean will be
retiring soon.
These band parents wish to thank
Mr. Dean, too. Perhaps all the band
parents over the years, the band
members, and the community
would like to thank Mr. Dean.

Tyndall AFB, Fla.-Several of the nation's best aerial
acts will be featured at this Air Defense Command base dur-
ing the big Project William Tell air show scheduled at Tyn-
dall AFB Saturday, October 9th. =


Starting at 1 p. m. the big aerial
demonstration will climax the 1965
USAF World-Wide Fighter Inter-
ceptor Weapons Meet being held
Oct 1-9. Sixteen teams will compete
in the meet conducted every two
years at the Panama City, Fla.
area base and hosted by the Air
Defense Command.
Headlining the star-studded line-
up of talent will be the world fam-
ous USAF Thunderbirds. The pre-
cision aerial demonstration team
has thrilled millions of spectators
the world over with its jet flying
techniques and brilliant maneuv-
ers.
On hand will be the Pipe Band
of the Royal Canadian Air Force.
Bob Hoover, noted test pilot for
North American Aircraft Company,
is on the schedule to present a
heart-stopping low altitude aero-
batics demonstration in his spe-
cially modified P-51 propeller
driven fighter aircraft. His special-
ty is rolls and split-precision fly-
ing at extremely low altitudes.
A special attraction for the
World War I veterans will be a
flyby by the SPAD, an old World
War I fighter aircraft. This early
aircraft will be followed by. to
day's supersonic F-101, F-102, F-104,
and F-106 fighters.
The Golden Knights, a world-
champion parachute competition
team of skydivers from Fort Bragg,
N. C., will stake a breath-taking
show of parachute jumps Their


precision maneuvers in free-fall
and spot parachute landings have
repeatedly earned these jumpers
world titles in international com-
petition.
A new attraction for air shows
will be a demonstration of the
parasail life-support program.
This is a method used at Tyn-
dall to teach life saving techni-
ques to student pilots attending
pilot training at Tyndall.
Primarily, the purpose of the
training gives the student the
same feeling of parachuting
from an aircraft. With an open
parachute strapped on, the pilot
is towed by a track until he is
lifted high into the air. There
he will cut the rope and drop by
parachute.
On the schedule again this year
is a model aircraft stunt demon-
stration ,an act that proved ex-
tremely popular with the 35,600
spectators who viewed the 1963
William Tell air show.
Tyndall authorities have invited
the public to attend the show sched-
uled to begin at 1 p. m., one hour
after the base is opened for Open
House. Special parking and traffic
handling arrangements by Tyndall
Air Police will enable spectators
to take full advantage of the air
show without inconvenience.
Prior to the ai rshow the base
will offer for public view many
displays and exhibits will be lo-
cated in a flightline hangar.


Women Spend Twice As Much As

Men For Clothing, Survey Shows


For every dollar spent in Florida
during 1963 for men's and boys'
clothing, $2.17 was spent for wom-
en's and girls' apparel.
Food purchases in the State dur-
ing the same year took more than
27 cents of every dollar spent in
retail trade-21.5 cents for grocer-
ies to be consumed at home and
5.8 cents for meals and snacks
eaten out
Automobiles and trucks, with the
fuel and accessories to keep them
running ,accounted for 26.8 per
cent of all the money spent at re-
tail in the State during 1963.
These statistics are taken from a
new report on the 1963 Census of
Business, Retail Trade Merchan-
dise Lines, just issued by the U. S.
Department of Commerce, Bureau
of the Census.

dise lines for the entire South At-
lantic States area, consisting of

Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia
and West Virginia; for each Stand-
ard Metrolopitan Statistical Area
and for the part of each State
which is not licated in any Stand-
ard Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Figures are listed for 25 classes
of items in more than 100 kinds of
retail establishments in each State
and for the South Atlantic States
area as a whole, providing an in-
dex to sales of various merchan-
dise lines and the percentages ac-
counted for by those lines in total

The tiger scores again L

It's dramatically fresh and new, but still very, very Pontiac. That's written all over it, from the no-doubt-about-it new front end to the
trimly tailored rear. (Did you think for one minute'that we'd leave out the unique Pontiac styling character you like so well? Never!)
Another nice thing about the '66 Pontiacs is that other Pontiac lovers we've got a bright new Grand quick handling. But you'll discover those things
there are more of them-3 new super-sumptuous Prix, new Catalinas, new Star Chief Executives- when you slip behind the wheel and turn a new

each student, with the remaining half to be sent as soon as
the student completes a semester's work and enrolls for a
second semester. Governor Burns announced that the replica
balls held in various cities to raise money for the Scholarship
Foundation will be repeated next year.

You're looking at the newest thing In tigers. Sleek, lean-muscled new style. New power that starts with a revolutionary new kind of six

Pontiac's revolutionary overhead cam six acts buy sixes for. Delivers 165 hp (or you can specify Tempest Customs and Le Mans. V-8's? Up to
more like a V-8, looks like no six you ever saw, the sports package which includes the 207-hp 360 hp in the GTO. See all the '66 tigers in

Timken tapered roller bearings had
to meet all specifications demanded by
both NASA and Westinghouse engi-
neers, Timken bearings are located in
the mounting on the armature shaft
in the thrust position and at the base
,of the'shaft for radial stability. The
Timken thrust bearing withstands a
constant thrust load of 700,000 pounds
during both static and dynamic opera-
tion. The entire weight of the giant
vertical shaft, arm, cupola and counter
weight is supported on the Timken bear-
ings. The standard Type TS Timken
bearing must take radial loads to main-
tain vital armature alignment.
The simulator is the second of its
kind and the first of its size used at
the Manned Spacecraft Center in Hous-
ton, Texas.

NEW CHEVELLE



New 300's. New 300 Deluxe models. New Malibus.And two
new Super Sport 396's-coupe and convertible-with en-
gines that tell you exactly what kind of Chevelles they are.
Both are available with 396-cu.-in.Turbo-Jet V8's, either
325 hp or. 360 hp. And both come with special hood,
grille, suspension, emblems, red stripe tires, floor-mounted
shift. Twelve beautiful new Chevelles in all-and all as
new inside as they' are outside, headlamps to taillights.


ALL NEW CHEVY WE
It's so different, we should really call it the Chevy III. Roofs are swept
way back on coupes. Fenders, grille, hood, taillights and bumpers are
new on all seven models. Interiors are richer. Power available up to a
350-hp Turbo-Fire V8. You can even order headrests for the front seats
and Mag-style wheel covers. What's the economical, dependable Chevy
II coming to? A lot of smart '06 car buyers, we figure.


'66 CORVAIR U QU
Still America's only rear-engine-car, And with the spec-al
steering and suspension you:can add, there's no better
way to rid yourself of prematuYely gray driving. Lots new.
Corvair, like all the '66 ChevFtlets, has a padded dash,
seat belts front and back, new fully synchronized 3-speed.
Corsas, Monzas, 500's. Get one. Stay young.

by Christmas.
Plant sweet pe seeds in trenches
of rich, organic soil that has been
sterilized and treated against damp-
ing-off. Frequent cutting of the
blooms is necessary to prevent for-
mation of seedpods which will re-
duce the flowering period.
As a border plant for azaleas, try
strawberry plants. The berry bushes
like the acid azalea soil and will
thrive. The dark green leaves,
white blossoms with cream-colored
eyes, and tart red berries will pay
you for your efforts of growing the
plants.
