Sharks Win Second Annual



Gulf Coast Cage Tournament


Belin Out Due

To Surgery

Port St. Joe's Eddie McFarland
and David Macomber sank five
free throws under tremendous
pressure Saturday night, in an ov-
ertime period to nip Quincy's Ti
gers, 64-63 and take their second
i-consecutive championship of the
Gulf Coast Conference.
David Macomber led the Sharks
flipping in 29 points during the
game even though he sat out parl
of the second, all of the third and
most of the fourth periods witt
four fouls to his credit.
The Sharks rolled up a 22-14
margin in the first period with
Macomber tossing in 13 points and
Richard Ray six. Ray's points came
on long passes down court by Ma
comber to Ray to break up a Quin.
cy full court press. Even though
the Sharks ended the first period
with their biggest lead, they also
were farther behind in the first
period than any other stanza.
Winster Chester kept the Tigers
in the game with 22 points.
The Sharks had a 34-26 half time
lead, but with tall Macomber out
of the game the Tigers began to
gain and had the Sharks tied 44-44
going into the fourth period. All
through the last period, neither
team had over a three point lead
and it was a see-saw battle. Shark
second stringer Eddie McFarland
saved the day for the Sharks, com,
ing into the game late in the fourth
period to score 12 points when
they needed them most.
As the regulation game drew to
6'a close, the score was tied, 57-57.
:Maetmber hit. two _'re thruow
and a basket in. the first 50 seconds
to give the Sharks a 61-57,lead.
The Sharks then added' another
point on a free throw by4JJim Cox
before a basket by QuincY's James
Abney and two free throws by
Gary Porch cut the lead to one
point.
,With 42 seconds left;'Eddie Mc-
Farland sank two free throws which
cinched the victory f6r the Sharks.
Quincy gained possession of the
ball with eight seconds to go, and
the Sharks let them go on down
court and make their basket rather
than risk.a foul shot.
The Sharks gained their shot at
the finals, by defeating Chipley
Friday night in their first game of
the year without the services of
their ace floor man, Jake Belin.
The Sharks defeated the Tigers
66-52 behind the 28 point shooting
of David Macomber and 20 points
of David Lee.

In addition to taking the sec-
ond Gulf Coast Conference cham-,
pionship, the Sharks placed three
of their team-mates on the All-
Conference team. These were
Jake Belin, David Macomber and
David Lee.
SCoach Bobby Brown was nam-
ed "Coach of the Year" for the
Conference.

Craig outlines Proposed


School Buiding Program


Superintendent of Public Instruc-
tion Marion Craig spoke before the
Kiwaiis Club Tuesday and made
public for the first time, the plans
of the School .Board for building
in Gulf County.
According to Craig, the School
Board plans to spend $2,100,000 of
a proposed revenue certificate is-
sue for $2,500,000 on new high
- schools for Port St. Joe and Wewa-
hitchka and renovation of exist-
ing buildings for elementary pur-
poses. The rest of the money will
be used for architect's fees, reve-
nue sale handling fees, etc., along
with construction of a bus barn
and maintenance shop for the
school system.
Craig 'said that the construction
money has been allocated to We-
wahitchka.and Port St. Joe on a
per pupil basis. $1,53q,671 will be
spent in Port St: Joe hnd $563,178
in Wewahitchka.
Priorities have been established
for. expenditure of the money with
$1,492,000 estimated to be used for
construction of a new 1,000 pupil
first class high school for Port St.
Joe. This is first priority construc-

County Decides On

Gas Air Condif.ning
The County Commission decided
Tuesday night to install gas heat-
ing and air conditioning in the new
Gulf County courthouse to be con-
structed in Port St. Joe.
Engineers for the architects, Paul
Donofro and Harold Odum had
suggested four different methods
of heating and cooling the building
and presented estimated costs and
operation costs. The engineers are
the Shaver and Zgouvas Construc-
tion Engineers.
Commissioner Leo Kennedy made
a motion that the county install
electric air conditioning in the
building with an air to air heat
exchange. Kennedy argued that
the electric installation would be
cheaper over the long haul and
argued that the air to air installa-
tion would present less of a main-
tenance problem than a cooling
tower installation.
Kennedy's move failed for lack
of a second.
Commissioner T. D. Whitfield
then moved that the county install
gas heating and air conditioning in
the courthouse. His motion was sec-
onded by Commissioner Horton and
upon a vote Commissioners Whit-
field, Horton, Graham and Mc-
Daniell voted for the gas installa-
tion. Commissioner Kennedy voted
no. The Board entered into a con-
tract with the St. Joe Natural Gas
Company to furnish gas and main-
tain the equipment.

SJPC Employees

Retire from Mill
Two employees of St. Joe Paper
Company have retired as of Feb-
ruary 1, 1966, it was announced
this week by the company.
The retirees are Charles L.
"Chuck" Gibson and Novel E.
"Nehi" Gore. Gibson, a native of
Seminole and Early County, Geor-
gia, came to St. Joe Paper Com-
pany on November 29, 1940 as a
counter clerk in the storeroom. His
job at the time of his retirement
was Receiving Clerk.
Gore, born in Inverness, Florida,
came. to the company on July 10,
'1942 as a carpenter. His job at the
time of his retirement was Mill-
wright First Class in the Mainten-
ance Department.
Nehi and Chuck have received

Senator Tapper Will Speak
Before Miami Kiwanians
State Senator George Tapper of
Port St. Joe will speak before the
Miami Kiwanis Club, the largest
civic club in the state.
Tapper will speak on his person-
al program for financing the
schools of the state.
Tapper's plan calls for levying
a four percent sales tax and using
all of the money for school pur-
poses. He would set up a minimum
teacher salary of $5,000 per year
and would have the state partici-
pate with 90 per cent of school
funds to each county as compared
with the present 75 percent.
The catch in Tapper's plan would
require any county receiving such
assistance to assess full valuation
on real estate.

St. Joe Paper Company Wins Award

Presentation for Best Safety Record


JACKSONVILLE-The St. Joe
Paper Company's plant at Port St.
Joe won the state's top safety
award for the paper industry for
1965.
State Industrial Commisison
Chairman J. D. Wright, Jr., pre-
sented the award to Charles W.
Norton, plant safety director, at
the final luncheon of the Fifth An-
nual Florida Industrial Commis-
sion Safety Conference here Tues-
day.
The St. Joe plant topped nine
other similar plants in the state
with the remarkable record of
only one disabling accident dur-
ing 1965.
The award instituted last year
by the State Industrial Commission
is given annually. It is based on a
formula combining the accident
frequency and severity rates. Any


plant winning the trophy three
years consecutively gets to keep it
permanently. The Rayonier plant
at Fernandina won it last year.
In making the presentation,
Wright told Norton:
"The Florida Industrial Commis-
sion is pleased to recognize an
outstanding achievement in acci-
dent control during 1965 by one of
our leading industrial firms. Last
year the St. Joe Paper Company,
experienced only one disabling in-
jury during the calendar year
which resulted in a time lost of
12 days, and best record of all nine
similar mills in Florida.
"So, to the management and em-
ployees of St. Joe Paper Company
go our congratulations for this fine
accomplishment together with this
trophy which it is my personal
pleasure to present to you."

Reading Program Started



For Deprived In Gulf County


By EDWARD A. BANDJOUGH
A reading and communications'
arts program got underway this
week at. the Wewahitchka schools,
in Wewahitchka, at Washington
High School in Port St. Joe and the
Highland View Elementary School,
according to William Linton, Coun-
ty Supervisor. Purpose of the pro-
gram is to provide economically de-
prived youngsters who need it with
special instruction in reading,
writing, speaking and other forms
of communication.
Cost of the program is being
borne by the, federal government
under terms of. the Elementary-
Secondary Education Act, this year
to the tune of $75.766 in Gulf
/County.
A basic guideline or qualification
of the program is that the money
can be spent only at schools where
there is a concentration of econ-
omically deprived children. A sur-
vey in Gulf showed this concentra-
tion (391 children of economically
deprived families( to be at above-
mentioned schools-though in les-
ser degree at the Highland View
school.


of 11 teacher aides-four at We- services normally offered, doing
wahitchka, three at Washington what the school system cannot do
and four at Highland View. or cannot afford to do. Therefore
(These aides do not teach as it means that the federal money
(These aides do not teach must be spent for this special pro-


such. Rather, they assume many of
the non-teaching tasks which bur-
den teachers and encroach sharply
upon a teacher's time in the class-
room. The aides will relieve the
non-teaching tasks which burden
teachers and encroach sharply up-
on a teacher's time in the class-
room. The aides will relieve the
teachers of such non-teaching du-
ties as "baby sitting," recess su-
pervision, lunchroom supervision,
collecting lunchroom money, etc.
Too, once a teacher has completed
a segment of instruction, the aides
help the teacher by helping .smal-
ler groups of youngsters carry out
-or practice-the instruction. Vir-
tue of the aide's assistance is that
it turns the teacher loose to do
more hard core teaching and plan-
ning. In the few days this program
has been in operation, teachers af-
fected are delighted with the re-
sults, according to Linton.)
Present scope of the program
includes only youngsters in grades
one through seven. Next year the
program will be extended into the
junior ano high schools.

NEW-BORN CHILD SHOULD BE
TESTED, SAYS DR. SOWDER
SJacksonville-Dr. Wilson T. Sow
der, state health officer, has sent a
letter to all Florida physicians and
hospital administrators asking them
to help carry out a legislative man-
date to promote testing of each
new-born child for a condition
which if not treated quickly -
causes life-long retardation.
Dr. 'Sowder reported to the five-
man governing board that this had
been done in conformance with the
law which directed the health
board to promote testing of all in-
fants for any mietabolic disorder
known to result in significant im-
pairment of health or intellect but
especially for phenylketonuria,
commonly called P K U.
PKU is an inherited disorder
and .can be quickly detected by
laboratory tests of one drop of the
infant's blood. It is treated simply
by feeding the baby a milk sub-
stitute.

specialty.
To enable.more teachers to cer-
tify themselves in this area, Lin.

State University professors. One
course, 3A, will begin in April.
Two other. courses, 3B, will be
taught in the county during the .

After August, to be qualified,
aspiring reading specialists will

WATER, WATER, E
Remember the grim and dreary
poem of the Ancient Mariner,
with "water, everywhere, and not
any drop to drink"? Remember
how you used to have to memor-
ize it, or even-horrors! re-
cite it?
Two thirds of the earth's sur-
face is covered with water, and
yet right now the 19th century
poetic fantasy is facing us as a
menacing truth. There is a grow-
ing shortage of fresh water in
many areas, including such pop-
ulous metropolitan centers as
New York, where you have to ask
fora drink in restaurant.
Worse, much of our water is
,poor in color, clarity, taste or
odor,, and some of it actually
contains chemical wastes, filth
: and bacterial growth. Among the
most serious of water pollutants
are the growing amounts of de-
tergents in use in home and
industry.
Water in Our Bodies
The human body is composed
of about two-thirds water, by
weight. This high water content
of the body has been called "the
sea within you." It is, literally,
salt water plus other essential

and tomatoes (93 percent) con-
tain a great deal.
Water is essential to all chemi-
cal processes in the body, which
must take place in solution. The
water used in our bodies daily
must be replaced as the used
water is excreted. The inter-
change represents several pints
a day by kidneys, bowels, perspi-
ration and exhaled breath. Vari-
ations occur depending on activ-
ity, temperature, salt balance,
illness, and drugs which may
cause increased loss through bow-
els, kidneys or skin.
Mineral Elements
Most drinking water contains
traces of minerals elements from
the soil through which it passed
on its way to your kitchen. Some
of these, like iodine which pre-
vents simple goiter or fluoride :
which lessons dental decay, are
important nutrients which must
be supplied in the total diet if
they are not naturally present in
proper quantities.
City Supplies Protected
City water supplies, as a rule,
are now adequately protected
against contamination; rural sup-
plies must be protected by the
owner's own initiative. It is im-
portant not to waste water, which
is no longer cheap and plentiful.
Dripping faucets and unmetered
supplies waste millions of gal-
lons annually.
You are lucky if you have a
reliable stream of cold, clean,
fresh and safe water when you
turn your kitchen faucet.

Make Tomorrow's Breakfast Today
"MR F7''. '- r -

... ". ...:. ....

Make tomorrow's pancake breakfast tonight? It's easy with
At one batter-making session, you can prepare enough pan-
cake or waffle batter to last (under refrigeration), for three
bountiful breakfasts. And the batter on the third day will be as
light and lively- as the day you made it!
The key is an unusual new phosphate leavening azent which
most mills, are incorporating in their already versatile self-rising
flours. The new leavening agent, from the food laboratories of
Monsanto Company, lies quietly until triggered by griddle heat,
then it releases.leavening power at just the right time to give
pancakes and waffles full and flavorful lightness.
For Delicious Pancakes
2 cups of self-rising flour % cup cooking oil or
2 tablespoons sugar melted butter,
2 eggs margarine, or
11/3 cups milk shortening
Put eggs and sugar in a mixing bowl and beat lightly with
rotary beater. Blend in milk and oil. Add flour. Blend together
and beat until batter is nearly smooth. Do not overbeat. Usual
batter for pancakes is cream-like in thickness.
Pour batter into a closable container, covered tightly to pre-
vent surface drying, and place in refrigerator. Before each fry-
ing, stir to eliminate any separation.
Pour batter on hot griddle or frying pan (about 400). Turn
when bubbles rise to surface in center. Griddle is not hot enough
if pancake is not brown When turned. It is too hot if bubbles
at. edge of pancake break before bubbles rise to surface at cen-
ter. It's not necessary to add more milk or water while frying
the pancakes.
For refrigerated batter to produce succulent waffles, use above
recipe with these changes: 1 tablespoon sugar; 13/ to 2 cups
milk and 1/ cup cooking oil, butter, margarine or shortening.
(Waffle batter is usually thinner than pancake batta.s

Birthmarks Are Common On Babies

But Usually Disappear In Childhood


Every mother remembers her
first inspection of her newborn
baby. And the held breath and
pounding heart that went with it.
Some of those mothers recall, too,
their sinking feeling at the discov-
ery of a red, raised area in a con-
spicuous spot.
Most of the unhappy mothers
found out later, though, that their
dismay was unnecessary. These
birthmarks are quite common in
infants. But, for the most part, they
disappear completely during child-
hood. So says Dr. Victor H. Witten
in a recent issue of "Today's
Health."
What are these vanishing birth-
marks? "Hemangiomas," as they
are called, are small masses of
blood vessels, reddish or purplish
in color. Nobody knows what
causes them; they serve no pur-
pose. They're benign-they are not
and do not become cancerous.


FAMOUS BRAND,
Woven Gingham
$1 YD. C C
VALUE yd
Finest quality, tightly wov-
en combed cotton

then woven. A colorful ar-
ray of plaids and checks.


The raised, soft strawberry mark
is one of three kinds of hemangio-
mas. It usually appears within the
first few months of life and grow
rather quickly for six months to a
year and a half. It may increase by
several times its size during this
period, then stay put for awhile,
then slowly begin to shrink and
fade. It disappears completely in 7
out of 10 cases by the age of seven.
And among those that don't disap-
pear completely, only about 6 per
cent are so unsightly as to call for
treatment.
If you or your child has a heman-
gioma, you should consult a doctor
of course. It it's close to the eye or
some vulnerable spot, treatment
may be necessary.
For the most part, though, na-
ture does the job unaided. Don't
be. frightened by a strawberry
mark. Like many other undesirable
things in life, it's probably on the
way out.

A. The theme "The Heartbeat of
the Nation".
On entering the building a sign
"Welcome to Heartville" greeted
each guest. They then entered the
banquet hall which was most at-
tractive in the Valentive motif. Cu-
pids and hearts were in abundance
throughout the room.
President of ,the Chamber of
Commerce, portrayed by John Pres-
nell, presented each one a key to
the city on arrival, after which
they were seated at the banquet
table.
Mayor and master of ceremonies
was portrayed by Bill Parker. The
invocation was the hymn, "Into My
Heart" and was sung as a prayer
by the entire group.
Introduced at this time was the
guest speaker, the Rev. John Mar-
tin, pastor of the First Baptist
Church in Chattahoochee.
Mayor Parker then assigned each
one his duty in the affairs of the


Faith Church Fetes

Youth At Dinner
The Youth Leaders for Christ of
Faith Bible Church and their
guests enjoyed a progressive din-
ner Monday evening.
The group began their Valentine
outing with a fruit appetizer ser-
ved at the Pastor's home at 513
Ninth Street. Next, they journeyed
over to the Godfrey's on 16th
Street where Mrs. Dick Lamber-
son and Mrs. Elmore Godfrey
treated them to a delicious main
course. To finish the meal, they
had a choice of three desserts at
'the home of Mrs. Martin Bowman
on Garrison Avenue.
The "nomads" then moved on
to the home of Mrs .Billy Quarles
for fun, fellowship and song. Here
they were joined by the Pastor in
the dress and role of "Mr. Will
Compromise". He portrayed to
them in a meaningful skit the pit-
falls and dangers of compromise
in the Christian's life. As "Mr.
Will Compromise", he showed how
he could take-the eyes of the Child
of God off his Lord and onto the
things of this world: finally lead-
ing that child into a life of sin
and uselessness. He used the lives
of Lot, Solomon and Samuel as
examples.

I U


Have You Asked Yourself


These Questions?


Why should you travel extra mile and use u|
extra hours to shop out of town?

ANSWER: You Shouldn't! You can save time,
gas and trouble by shopping right here in your
hometown stores. Furthermore, modern distribu-
tion brings the newest merchandise here as fast as
anywhere and lower overhead costs than 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 taxes paid.
and contributions made by our local business peo-
ple. Part of every dollar you spend helps build. a
better community for you.

Shrdlu

By WESLEY R. RAMSEY

You know about "those weeks"?
We have had one of "those weeks" at The Star this week .
and last week.
Last week, I had the flu the first three days of the week. The
latter part of the week we had the "Washington's Birthday" circu-
lar to print which you will receive Monday in your homes. This
week our linotype operator, Ed.Stokes, has the flu and had to stay
in bed and leave the linotype operating chores to "yours truly".
And now, it feels like I am trying to have a recurrence of the flu.
To top it all off, our printer, B. A. Collier has been trying to have
a baby all week or at least his wife has. I kept telling him the
matter was in good hands and he needn't worry about it, but some-
how his mind is not on getting out the paper.
So, if you get your paper this week, printed on every page,
all there, and delivered on time, it will be a miracle.

We want to congratulate the Sharks for winning their second
consecutive Gulf Coast Conference basketball title. Coach Bobby
Brown has done a wonderful job with the Sharks this year, and
the boys have put forth much work and long hours of practice
to become a championship team. It didn't "just happen".
They showed their ability by going into a championship
tournament, playing for the first game in three years, without the
services of their ace floor man, Jake Belin. Jake has also bees
instrumental all year in putting the points on the scoreboard
which on many occasions spelled victory for the Sharks.
You don't lose a valued man like Jake overnight and come
back the next day to whip two very good teams unless you have
a lot on the ball.
Congratulations, Sharks.

We want to tell you that' Ronald B. Ramsey, the Californian
who is producing antiwar propaganda: tape recordings for radio
Hanoi, is no kin to -s.
It irks us that networks will give 'so much time to these goons
who are trying as hard as they can to sow discontent in our country.
We think the country is great, and we would. not do anything to
harm its image, and can't understand 'how such garbage as Ronald
B. Ramsey can enjoy our benefits and at the same time, try to under-
mine our position.
Tucked away in a newspaper the other day, we read with satis-
faction the "operation appreciation", the 'students at the University
of Florida were producing to honor Vietnam veterans and to show
their appreciation for a great sacrifice made.
And you will note .this hasn't made Huntley Brinkley yet.

We join with the rest of the community in mourning the
death of our "working citizen" Harry Saunders. You just don't
find many "working citizens" any more. And Saunders stayed
right in there pitching for Port St. Joe, right up to the time of
his death.
We notice he never once said, "I've done my share, let some-
body else carry the ball a while."
He will be missed.

SAVE TIRES AND LIVES
In the' last two years, the
winning car in the Indianapolis'
500 has finished the race without
changing tires.
When tires will "stand up for
500 miles at 'a 150 mile-an-hour
average on the Speedway, it's
a real tribute to their staying
qualities.
If we stop to think about it,
we all know tires ard better
than ever. Flats' used to be
commonplace, but now many
drivers have never experienced
one and therein lies a danger.
Too many of us have become
complacent' about tires: But anr
under-inflated tire run at turn-
pike speeds is a prime candidate
for a blowout. We all know what
happens when tire blows out
at high speed, especially a front
tire.
Even if you avoid a blowout,
driving under-inflated tires takes
thousands of miles off their life.
Incidentally, contrary to a
popular i'otion, letting airf out
of your tires is no real help in
getting off ice. Sand or rock salt
works much better.
So, if you want to save tires
- and possibly -your life -
check tire pressures regularly.
Another good way to save
tires and lives is to replace
shock absorbers every 20 25,000
miles with .new' Monroe shock
absorbers or. front and rear
Load-Leveler stabilizing units.
Worn shock absorbers are
dangerous and can cost you as
much as 17% in tire life, roughly
about 5,000 miles of travel.

phasize the importance of scholas-
tic achievement, to honor the
teaching profession, and to por-
tray to teachers and students the
benefits of our American freedom
and of our free enterprise.
After Miss Fite was notified, she
was asked to select a teacher who
she felt had contributed most to
her scholastic achievement during
her high school career. The qualifi-
cations for Star Teacher are that
he be an active classroom teacher,
a resident of the state, and a teach-
er in an accredited high school.
Jo Anne chose as Star Teacher,
Herman Dean, under whom she has
studied for six years.
The Star Students from partici-
pating high schools are also eligi-
ble to compete for county, district
and state awards.


Soldier Writes of
Value of Scouting
We are indebted to the Gulf
Coast Council for permission to
reprint this letter from SP4 An-
drew K. Williams, serving in Viet-
nam to his former Scoutmaster,
Harry Sampley of Pensacola.
*

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Sampley,
I'm sure many of the boys you
led in your Scouting career have
returned to say "thank you" for
all you taught them during their
days as a Scout under your guid-
ance. But all too many, like my-
self, think it often, but never seem
to have or take the time to put it
into words. I want to correct this
error on my part. In a deeply
heartfelt way, Harry Sampley, I


The things you taught me have
not only increased my love of the
out-of-doors, but also, they've
meant the difference between
life and death to me.
Here in Vietnam, life is almost
without comfort. We have had to
make everything to sit or stand on,
or to hang a rifle or store clothing.
in. I've found the technique of
building with rope and small brush
you taught to the boys in Troop;
10 during a year-long emphasis on
pioneering over 15 years ago a day
to day necessity to me here in
Vietnam. Shelters made "Harry
Sampley's Way" don't break or
blow down in heavy wind. The im-
portance of "ditching a tent" as
soon as it's pitched made mine the
only dry one in the company.
As my parents have probably
told you, one particular skill your
influence brought me has meant
the difference between life and
death to a nameless merchant sea-
man and myself. All the hours I
spent earning the Boy Scout Swim-
ming badge and Life Saving in-
structions were well spent. I found
the steps flashed instinctively into
my mind when the accident hap-
pened, as if the classes at Camp
Big Heart had ended the day be-
fore.
So once again, Harry, thanks so
much for all the hours you spent
with a little green boy in a wrink-
led Scout uniform. Thanks to you
he has "been prepared". And
thanks to you Mrs. Sampley, for
those hours you spent alone while
Harry was "with his boys". Those
were not wasted hours, days and
years.
Love,
ANDY WILLIAMS

By REV. BILL GRAHAM
SChristian Prayer, article number
seven, "The Parts of Prayer".
Last week we shared the Bibli-
cal teaching on confession. Now
we shall look at the other parts of
prayer.
Adoration and Praise--This is
the child of God being occupied
with his Lord, adoring and prais-
ing Him for all that He is, giving.
to God the pre-eminence in his
thoughts and prayers. This is plac-
ing God in the highest pinnacle of
our hearts. Our Father, God, is the
God of creation, He is almighty, all
wise, holy, righteous and should
always be in the foremost place
and exalted place of our hearts
and lives.
__Thanksgiving-This is self ex-
planatory. It is the child of God
remembering to thank God for all
the blessings of needs met, guid-
ance and companionship of the
Lord, and the many blessings He
has poured out upon His child.
Intercession-This is the prayer
of the child of God for the needs
and care of others. It is the unload-
ing of the burdens of the heart for
others; our family, friends and
missionaries ,etc., presenting their
needs to the Lord and holding them
up in prayer.
Petition-This is presenting our
personal needs, desires, hopes,
etc., to the Lord. Putting ourselves
last in prayer is proper and good
discipline. God first, others second
and ourselves last. Let us remem-
ber that God has asked that we
bring all things to Him in prayer,
regardless of how small they may
seem. God wants to be Lord of all
of our life. The Christian has, for

his heavenly Father, a God that is
all wonderful and almighty. God
created the heavens and the earth
and all that is in them, visible and
invisible. Truly, He is a big God,
a mighty God, yet He is a God who
is personally interested in the fate
of a falling sparrow. "Be careful
for nothing; but in every thing by
prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be
made known unto God. And the
peace of God ,which passeth all un-
derstanding, shall keep your hearts
and minds 'through Christ Jesus."

You can bring out the paper
plates if you're hungry for art.
Children with crayons can do
more things with paper plates
than adults ever imagine.
Take small white paper plates
as a starter. Youngsters color
the rims to become frames. Then
in the center they may draw a
friend's portrait, or a tree or a
squirrel. The plates are a color-
ful gallery when hung up by
loops of yarn. The "primitives"
in your home may surprise you
with the bold, free work they do.
When weather permits -
brisk, windy days are ideal -
the plates can become' flying
saucers decorated with crayon.
Youngsters will want to get out
to spin them through the air in
mock battles and triumphant
soaring flights. There'll be no
need to scoot the family out for
exercise that day. One rule: all
flying saucers must be picked up
later and put in the wastebasket
for security reasons. The neigh-
bors will approve.
"Crayons may be a child's
most versatile tools," according
to Robert Haumersen, market-
ing vice president of Whitman
Publishing Company, Racine,
Wis., a firm which boxes rainbow
arrays priced from a dime to a
dollar. "Demand grows steadily.
Crayons are standard equipment
in nursery schools and kinder-
gartens. Head Start teachers use
them too. Home use, educators
say, helps a child grow
creatively."
Youngsters supplied with cray-
ons often like to do plate work
because they are unlimited by
lines or rules. Little girls may
turn plain plates into fancy party
plates. Little boys may draw the
sun or a boat or a smiling or
frowning face. All will sit back
highly pleased at their achieve-
ment, you'll notice.
Paper plates can make a child
feel festive any day.

Gulf County Gets $40,000
In Race Track Money
TALLAHASSEE State Comp-
troller Fred O. Dickinson this
week announced a record high
monthly distribution of $2,680,000
to Florida counties in state racing
tax funds.
Dickinson said the February
racing track fund distribution will
give each Florida county $40,000.,
That is an increase of $9,000 foi
each county above what was receiv-
ed for the same month of 1965.
By Florida law, the racing tax
receipts are divided equally among
Florida counties.
Dickinson reported that since the
start of the current fiscal period
for racing tax distribution in No-
vember, the Comptroller's Office
has sent checks totaling $124,000
to each of the state's 67 counties.
That is an increase of $22,000 for
each county above the amount re-
ceived during the same fiscal per-
iod a year ago.

Copies of the resolution have
een sent to Governor Haydon
urns, the State Budget Commis-
on and members of the Florida
congressional delegation in Wash-
igton.
The protest stemmed from a
ark Board contract with the Corps
SEngineers, in which the Corps
originally estimated at $75,000 the
)st of dredging a three-mile chan-
el from Largo Sound to deeper
ater in the Atlantic Ocean. Largo
found is in John Pennekamp Coral
eef State Park on Key Largo.
The Park Board agreed to pay
alf the cost as its share of the
project. In March of 1964, the
board pledged $38,000.
Subsequently ,the Corps revised
his estimate twice. The State's
lare rose to $56,000 by Feb. 11,
165 when the contract price was
et at $112,000. With each revision,
e State was asked to pledge pay-
ent before further steps were
ken.
Ten months later, and after
'edging was complete, the Corps

bmitted to the Park Board a bill
r an additional contribution of
0,716. The Corps said the total
st of the project was $173,432,
th the State's total assessed share

In the photo above, J. A. Fillingim is shown receiving the pin
for his grandson, Jake Belin, denoting his status as an all Gulf
Coast Conference basketball player.
Fillingim accepted the pin for Jake who was in a Pensacola
hospital at the time, undergoing head surgery.
Belin has been the valued floor leader and spark-plug of the
Sharks cage team for the past three years, and a flare-up of an
old head injury last week, sent him to the hospital for corrective
surgery on a plate which he wears in his head.
The Sharks talked to Jake by telephone prior to the Saturday
night game, and then went out on the floor to play their hearts out
and win their second straight Gulf Coast Conference title.

THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Florida THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1966

MINUTES of the

BOARD of PUBLIC INSTRUCTION


WEWAHITCHKA, FLORIDA
January 28, 1966
The Board of Public Instruction
of Gulf County, Florida, met in
special meeting at 5:00 o'clock
p.m., on the 28th day of January,
1966, the place ,hour and date duly
established for the holding of such
meeting.
The Vice Chairman, Eldridge
Money, called the meeting to or-
der, and on call of the roll, the
following answered present: W. J.
Ferrell, J. K. Whitfield, Eldridge
Money, vice chairman, and the fol-
lowing were absent: Billy Joe Rich
and William Roemer, Sr.
The vice chairman declared a
quorum present and stated that the
purpose of the meeting was to
direct Mr. Norman P. Gross, Who
had been previously hired by the
Board as Architect, to proceed to
prepare the initial plans and speci-
fications for certain projects which
were listed in the Resolution adopt-
ed on December 22, 1965, for, the
issuance of revenue certificates in
the amount of $2,500,000. The plans
and specifications, of course, would
be prepared contingent upon the
validation by theCourt of the rev-
enue certificates.
The Superintendent announced
that in accordance with the Board's
previous discussions on the amount
of money to be expended in Wewa-
hitchka and in Port St. Joe, that
such amounts were based on the
figure of $2,099,849, which figure
was arrived at as a result of deduct-
ing the reserve provided for in the
bond resolution ,the interest ac-
crued for one year, fiscal agent's
fee, estimated architect's fees and
cost of bus barn and maintenance
shop, the total of which amount to
$434,837 from the $2,500,000 bond


issue. To be added to this figure,
however, is the estimated accrued
interest which would be paid by
the purchasers of the revenue cer-
tificates up to the date of delivery,
and the figure arrived at for con-
struction costs would be based up-
on the estimates available for ex-
penditures for site acquisitions, ed-
ucational materials to be utilized
in the classrooms and total con-
struction costs would be $2,099,-
849, of which $563,178 would be
expended in Wewahitchka on a
per pupil allocation, and $1,536,-
671 in Port St. Joe and Highland
View on a per pupil allocation.
The Superintendent announced
that based upon consultations
with experts of the State Board of
Education and Architect Norman
P. Gross that estimated cost of a
new high school at Port St. Joe
for grades 7 through 12 to provide
for an initial pupil capacity of
1,000 would be as follows:
Site acquisition ----$ 30,000
Furn. equip &'
educ. materials ----- 137,804
Est. construction cost
of classrooms and
building 1,295,030
Total cost $1,462,834
Allowance of 2% for
contingencies -------- 29,256
Grand total --_ --_ $1,492,090
The Superintendent announced
that the County had $89,000 in re-
serve in Wewahitchka State Bank
from SBE moneys for which appli-
cation is being made for transfer
to be utilized on the construction
of Port St. Joe High School since
the same facilities which were ap-
proved by SBE would be used in
the new high school at Port St.
Joe. Therefore, this sum should be
deducted from the total cost of


construction of the new high school
facilities at Port St. Joe, leaving an
estimated balance of $1,402,490 of
moneys from the proposed revenue
certificates for Port St. Joe High
School.
The Superintendent further sta-
ted that the estimates of experts
of the State Board of Education
and Norman P. Gross, Architect,
for renovating the existing Port
St. Joe High School to transform
same into an elementary school
would be approximately $100,000,
and that the construction of a li-
brary facility for Highland View
was estimated at $24,310, and that
to expand the lunchroom facility
at Washington High School would
approximate $9,871, and that the
total estimated cost of these much-
needed facilities was $1,536,671, or
the total allocated for the Port
St. Joe area on the per pupil ba-
sis.
The Superintendent further sta-
ted that other much-needed facili-
ties may not be built from the pro-
ceeds of the revenue certificates
because it appeared that moneys
would not be available for these
projects. These facilities were: ex-
pand library at Washington High
School; construct an additional
classroom at proposed Washington
High School; construct an addition-
al classroom and expand adminis-
trative suite and add storage space
at Washington Elementary Schoo'
at an estimated cost of $13,225; and
that the administrative suite at
Highland View Elementary School
should be expanded and a first aid
room and faculty rest room should
be constructed at said school, and
an additional classroom should be
constructed at an estimated cost of
$33,605.
The Superintendent also stated
that based upon the expert advice
of State Board of Education per-
sonnel and Norman P. Gross, Ar-
chitect, that the cost of the new
high school at Wewahitchka for
grades 7 through 12 was estimated
as follows:
Site acquisition
and development ----$ 15,000
Additional furnishing
and equipment ___--- 20,000
Total estimated con
struction cost ----- 505,439
Total cost of const., equip.,
and site allowance of 2%
contingency for cost of const.
or other costs -------- 10,808
Grand Total _------- $551,247
He further stated that five class-
rooms were already available at
the site of the proposed high school
at Wewahitchka. He stated that the
estimated balance which would be
available for use at Wewahitchka
of the per pupil allocation was
$11,931, and should be used to re-
novate the existing school to be
used for an elementary school, and
that such renovation cost would
primarily require transforming a
portion of the school at Wewahitch.
ka which was used as a high school
for elementary purposes since
much of the school is already be-
ing used as an elementary school.
He stated that it would be desir-
able to construct additional class-
rooms and special purpose rooms
at the proposed new Wewahitchka
High School, but that these facili-
ties could not be constrActed from
the estimated money to be received
from the sale of the certificates of
indebtedness and allocated to We-
wahitchka.
Upon motion by Ferrell, second-
ed by Whitfield and unanimously
carried, it was resolved as follows:
That Norman P. Gross, Architect,
pursuant to the contract hereto-
fore entered with him by this
Board, be instructed to prepare
initial plans and specifications with
;he following priorities to be util-
zed from the sale of the proposed i
revenue certificates, to-wit:

The Board authorized the hiring of the Gulf Timberland Company,
told the Board that his company
is the largest land owner in the
proposed Watershed District, own-
ing about two-thirds of the land,
which means that he would pay
two-thirds of the total cost; that
his company is in favor of this
project because it is good for the
land owners and all of Gulf Coun-
ty; that anything that is good for
Gulf County is also good for his
company, and that anything good
for his company is also good for all
S of Gulf County. He then told of his
experience with Soil Conservation
Districts and explained how these
Districts benefit the land owners;
that every acre that his company
owns is under some sort of Conser
Station District. He then stated that
his company has had as fine coop-
eration from the Gulf County Com-
missioners as could have been ex-
pected in that all have tried to be
good neighbors and will continue
to do so. He said that he knew of
Public Law 566 when he purchased
the Gulf County tract; that several
years ago, he urged the Gulf Coun-
ty Commissioners to make an ap
plication under this law because he
thought it was good for all con-
cerned, especially Gulf County. He
then urged the Commission to ap-
prove this project so far as pre-
sented tonight, which would then
give all of the freeholders within
the District an opportunity to vote;
rice sticker. that he was in favor of the project
even though he knows it will cost
his company two-thirds of the total
bill.

Intra Coastal Canal. Mr. Stanley
said that he knew nothing about a
proposed canal, but assured all pre-
sent that the Watershed Project is
not connected to a canal project or
any other project; that a canal pro-

papers are altogether foreign to

dation procedure. The Attorney
advised that the Board should de-
cide on a maximum amount for the
bond issue at this time in order
that the necessary resolution be
adopted. He stated that it would
require 120 days from the date of
the resolution to complete the val-
idation procedure in the courts.
After much consideration, there
was a motion by Commissioner
Graham, seconded by Commission-
er Horton and upon vote was una-
nimously carried that the resolu-
tion concerning the erecting of the
courthouse building and jail in
Port St. Joe be adopted.
J. M. Whitfield appeared before
the Board on behalf of the Wewa-
hitchka Development Commission
and announced that said Commis-
sion has selected a name for the
road running from the Dam to the
Apalachicola River and a name for
the park and urged this Board to
take the proper steps to have this
road named "Iola Parkway" and to
have the park named ::Iola Park".
After consideration, the Board in-
structed the Attorney to prepare
the necessary resolution requesting
the State Road Department to
adopt said names.
There being no further business,
the meeting adjourned.

asked to aid in locating suitable
airfields in the far north.
Sailing with a crew of blue-
jackets, he led Navy supply ships
through the fog, among the dan-
gerous reefs, into the fjords suc-
cessfully and was responsible for
locating our strong base at Thule
in Greenland.
It was in recognition of his out-
standing service to his country
that Congress commissioned him a
Rear Admiral Ret. but his greatest
contribution has been to his fellow
man through years of rugged serv-
ice in bring the world greater
knowledge of the polar country.
Through his efforts over the years
thousands of specimens and a
wealth of knowledge of the far
north has been gained.
Florida is a far cry from the
Arctic regions but if its warmth
and sunshine can provide rest and
comfort to a great explorer in the
sunset of life we are honored to
have him with us.

VETERANS ADMINISTRATION
IS SENDING QUESTIONNAIRE
St. Petersburg-M. T, Dixon, of
the Florida Department of Veter-
ans. Affairs, announced today that
the Veterans Administration will
send a punch card questionnarie
with each such check in February.
It requests information concerning
children primarily because of the
change authorized by a recent law
permitting payments of benefits
for children to age 23. Even though
there are n1o children, the ques-
tionnaire should be returned to
provide the VA with Zip Code num-
bers and Social Security numbers.
After Jan. 1, 1966, Dixon said, the
Zip Code numbers must be part of
the address on all VA correspond-
ence.

management purposes. The survey,
conducted by airplane is consider-
ed to be an indicator of trends in
waterfowl populations. Copeland
pointed out that the increased num-
ber of birds observed in Florida
during this survey does not neces-
sarily mean duck populations are
on the rise nationally.
The grand total for Florida, in-
cluding all species was 1,605,066
birds. The 1965 total was 768,853
while the 1964 total was 1,153,300.
Although the 1965 figure showed a
decrease as compared to the 1964
figure, the 1966 count exceeds that
of 1964 and 1965. The increase was
made up principally of scaup, bald.
pate ,redhead and blue wing teal.
Canada geese showed a contin-
uing decline. The 1966 total on this
species is 6,000 geese and a de-
crease of 1,000 birds as the 1965
survey indicated 7,000 birds. Most
of the geese were observed in or
near Leon County and the St.
Marks Wildlife Refuge in Wakulla
County. The Game and Fresh Wat-

engaged in an accelerated study of
the Canada goose decline and work-
ing to return the former wintering
population to Florida.
