JOE, FLORIDA, 32456THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1966 NUMBER 23 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. Port St. Joe Principal Wayne Saunders pre- sents the championship trophy to the Port St. Joe Sharks following Saturday night's game with Quincy. Receiving the trophy, from left to right 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- Championship. -Star photo 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.

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. Mrs. J. T.

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." Mrs. J. T. McNeill, Pioneer Resident, Is Taken By Death Last Saturday lZ 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. gram and not in areas of study 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.

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 THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1966 doctorr n the Kitchen y W.W. Bauer, M.D, consultant, National Dairy Council - VERYWHERE ? ? ? 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. r L~s ~~ Af 1. I U HOP THESE ST SPANGLED SAVINGS!

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 not printed, but yarn dyed. 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. FAMOUS DAN RIVER HOYA CLOTH IN MATCHING STRIPES AND SOLIDS $1 yd.

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.

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.

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. afl work done at the LOWEST PRICES ...and you can pay on easy budget terms FRONT END s ALIGNMENT Our expert mechanics adjust castercamber and toe-in vents| ra to car manufacturers original specifications using the Kie this-,- most accurate equipment available.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 6,716. FOR SALE: 20 acres of land, 1 mi., from Willis Landing on paved Dalkeith Road.

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 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 only thing that looks low-priced on a Pontiac Tempest is its p: And that's removable. - Take it off, and there's just a pure, unabridged Pontiac: practically everywhere.

Burkhalter, Vice President 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.

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.

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.

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.
