Preliminary Budget Work



Gives Indication of Increase


Two accidents occurred this past
week near Port St. Joe, according
to the Highway Patrol Trooper;
Ken Murphy. One of the accidents
occurred as a result of two cars
racing and the other, as a result of
rain slick highways during a down-
pour of rain Monday afternoon.
Sunday afternoon at 2:30 p.m.
a 1960 Chevrolet driven by Jason
Lewis, Jr.,, 170 Avenue D went in-
to a ditch and: hit a utility pole,
while racing with a second auto
driven by Lonnie Ashe of Wewa-
hitchka.
According to Murphy, the two
cars were racing side by side on
SR30 about 1.2 miles South of
Port St. Joe, when they met an
auto coming from the opposite di-
rection. Ashe passed Lewis, pulling
back into the proper lane too soon
forcing Lewis into the ditch. The
scrapped fenders forced Ashe into
the ditch also, .where he came to
rest against a dirt bank.
Three of those involved in the
accident were charged by the
Highway Patrol: Ashe with leaving
the scene and reckless driving;
Lewis with reckless driving and
George Wilson, a passenger, with
failing to give information.
ONE INJURED
Mrs. R. L. Holbrook of Panama
City received injuries when she
lost, control of her automobile


Monday afternoon in a driving rain
near the Palm Point curve on U.
S. 98. Mrs. Holbrook lost control
of her auto, causing it to roll over
and land up against a utility pole.
Mrs. Holbrook's two children,
passengers in the auto were treat-
ed for cuts and bruises at the Mu-
nicipal hospital and released. The
children were Michael E., age 11
and Ava, age 5.

Bids Asked for Work


On City's Water Tanks


Commissioner Bob Fox asked
the City Commission to call for,
bids for repairs to one of the. wa-
ter system storage tanks Tuesday,'
in a short meeting of the Board.
Fox asked for bids to make re-
paids to an overflow system on
one of the towers, which periodi-
cally empties water over residences
in the vicinity of the tanks. The
pipe system has rusted off near
its entrance to the tank, causing
a spray effect, instead of empty-
ing to ground level as it is design-
ed to do.
He said that none of the water
department crewmen were "elat-
ed" at the prospect of having to
climb the tank to make repairs
and asked that tank repair people
be called in.
Fox also asked that a cage be
built around the ladders of both
tanks with a locked gate at the
ground end to protect tank repair-


men and to keep children from
climbing the tanks.
The Board voted to go along with
Fox's request.

Lineman Injured

In Fall From Pole

Harry Falk, age 31, of Apalachi-.
cola, was injured seriously here in
Port St. Joe Monday afternoon-
when he fell 27 feet from a utility,
pole.
Falk, working with the Florida
Power Corporation line crews was
repairing damage to, electric ser-
vice lines in Highland View, fol-
lowing an electrical storm Mon-
'day afternoon -when the accident
occurred. Bill Buzzet.t, area repre-
sentative for Florida Power said
that Falk's safety belt apparently
came loose, causing the accident.
The belt came loose on the end
that normally is left attached to
its fastening hook. Nothing could
be found wrong with the belt on
examination after the accident.
No explanation could be given for
its having failed.
Falk fell to a grassy spot and
was quickly taken to the Port St.
Joe Hospital by Prevatt Funeral
Home ambulance. He was found
to have injuries to both legs and
was transferred to the Panama
City hospital where he is still hos-
pitalized.


School Board

Changes Meeting

Superintendent of Public In-
struction, Marion Craig stated
this week that the regular July
meeting of the Board has been
re-scheduled for Wednesday,
July 5 at 8:00 A.M., CST.
The meeting was regularly
scheduled for Tuesday, July 4,
but has been changed because of
the July 4 holiday.


The Gulf County Board of Com-
missioners held their first "Work
Shop" Tuesday night in prepara-
tion for compiling: a new budget
for the coming fi sal year. .
Tuesday night's -session was .
hear requests from departments
for funds for the new fiscal year
which begins October 1. Iri all like-
lihood, based on past experience,
the amounts to come out:of Tues-
day night's meeting will not be the
amounts to be advertised as the
budgets for the new year. The
pruning knife is usually put to the
new budget.
The item of the 'General Fund
was not discussed at great length
Tuesday night, because all of the
items of request have not been
turned in by the various depart-
ments funded by this item.
On a county-wide scale, the
Board granted all employees of the
County a seven percent raise in
salary for the coming year.
Fine and Forfeiture Fund
The "asking figure" in the Fine
and Forfeiture fund shows a 50%
increase over last year. This bud-


get includes the operation of the
Sheriff's Department, C o u nt y
Judge's office and Circuit Court.
Last year, this fund was budgeted
$69.,178. The asking budget for the
coming year is $94,330. Most of
this increase is in the Sheriff's De-
partment. Last year, the Sheriff
was budgeted $56,250. This year,
he is asking for $81,480.
Clerk George Core noted that
the law allowed only 5% increase
in taxes in a single year, and he
doesn't know what the outcome
will be in this and other portions
of the budget in which this in-
crease is exceeded.
Road and Bridge Fund
The Road and Bridge Fund is
asking for nearly $100,000 more
for the coming year than they had
budget in the past. During the past
year the Road Department bperat-
ed on $232,994. They are now ask-
ing for $317,073.00.
Most of the increase is reflected
in an increase of $25,000 in Road
Materials; $39,662 for new equip-
ment and $6,000 more for supplies.
The remainder of the increase is

Falcon Coach Speaks

Hal Herring, defensive coach for the Atlanta Falcons, profes-
sional football team spoke to the Kiwanis Club Tuesday at their
regular noon meeting. Herring said that the Falcons have a good
future and are building a strong football team that will be in con-
tention in its league.
The Falcons report for training on July 1 at East Tennessee
State University. They will open the season in Atlanta on Septem-
ber 10. Herring said the Falcons are currently selling season
tickets with only a few left. They will sell 50,000 season tickets,

in salary raises, shop expense, etc.
Capital Outlay
The County will be asked to levy
$138,600 to complete work on the
new Courthouse. This is less than
anticipated at the beginning of the
year. It was estimated that $200,-
000 would be needed for this item
in the new budget.
When the new budget takes ef-
fect on October 1, the County will
owe $5,000 to the contractor; $90,-
000 for furnishings and $3,700 to
the architect.
Interest and Sinking Fund
To pay off bonds and interest
due on the new Courthouse next
year, the County was asked to levy
$97,213.00. Of this amount, $17,000
will go to retire bonds, $52,955 for
interest and $13,220 into a reserve
fund.
Mill Value A Question
The millage to be levied for the
coming year is still in question. As
a matter of fact, the value of a
mill has still not been decided
upon by Tax Assessor Samuel A.
Patrick. Core said that Patrick has
tentatively reported that it looks
as it the mill will be about the
same value as last year, $38,000.00.

Kirk Vetoes Highland
View Gas District Bill

Gov. Claude Kirk, in his first
veto of a local bill, rejected a mea-
sure introduced by Rep. Ben C.
Williams of Port St. Joe. The veto
was handed down Monday of this
week on a measure to create a gas
district for Highland View.
In his veto message, Kirk said
Gulf County already had a gas
service from a private company
and "in any area where private in-
dustry is properly functioning, free
enterprise must preclude any mea.
sures for government control."
Kirk also said that the bill did
not show any necessity for the gas
district nor provide for a public
referendum on the issue and
though it proposed to issue bonds,
"there was no provision for a pub-
lic hearing as required by law."


Gulf Coast Gets Good Response to Questionnaire


More than 30 Gulf County citi-
zens have responded to a Gulf
Coast Junior College educational
questionnaire printed and distrib-
uted this month by. the Port St.
Joe Star and the Gulf County
Breeze.
The questionnaire is part of an
educational survey aimed at aid,
ing Gulf Coast officials in deter-
mining the number and type of
college courses to be offered in
Gulf County this fall.

courses that we thought would

The Great Experiment


The 4th of July is upon us again, and there should
be a firm redediqation to the principles and ideals that
brought forth the "great experiment" in human liberty
-the United States.
It is customary to recall with reverence an immortal
remark of one of the nation's founders on this most im-
portant of dates, but perhaps at this time in our history,
it would be more timely to quote a contemporary, an in-
structor in political science at Mercy College, New York.
The professor says, "the Constitution is just a piece of
paper which can be scrapped if it has outlived its useful-
ness. Just like anything else." According to his re-
marks, as reported in the Portland, Oregon, Journal, the
basic political and cultural system of the United States
must be revised even if it means a revolution culminating
in violence.
Fortunately, the professor is protected by the very
Constitution he belittles. Like any other citizen, he may
speak his mind without fear, which in itself shows that
we have kept faith with the founders of our nation. Be-,
cause of this faith, the professor may speak with intem-
perence. Our detractors notwithstanding, the 4th of
July has a deep meaning for most American citizens,
and it will be so comemmorated this year as it always has
been in the past.



OUR RESPONSIBILITY GROWS
Bills recently introduced to the Florida Legislature by'
Representative Ben C. Williams. would provide for salary
increases for Gulf County Commissioners and members of
the Board of Public Instruction.
The bill would :allow the County Commissioners to
be paid P200.O0 per month, plus $125.00 a month for ex-
pense money. The members of the Board of Public In-
struction would receive $200.00 per month, according to
the allowances in the bill.
Whether you are for or against this particular bill,
we can see with its passage increased responsibili-
ty for the voters of Gulf County. Voters are going to be
forced to cast their votes for the man who will best fill the


job. The ballot will no. longer be a popularity ppll in the
county. Our tax payers just won't be able to afford it.
Increases in salary will provide adequate compensa-
tion for competent men to fill the county posts. We have
been lucky in the 'past in that conscientious men have, for
the most part, been elected to our government posts .
in spite of our habits to cast a "popularity vote".
Nobody is more aware of this "popularity" style of
voting than those who have been elected. They recognize
the situation, and, mostly, they deplore the situation as
much as we do.
But, a man whose time is extremely valuable, cannot
be wasting it for $100.00 per month.

SERIOUS BUSINESS
Both of our county "businesses" have become serious
business. Both of these boards are boards of extreme re-
sponsibility. As a matter of fact, the county and School
Board businesses are both small industries in our county.
And, we foot the bill with our taxes Taxes that are
including more and more people as payees.
As a for instance, we will take the County Commis-
sioners. Each of the current crop of County Commission-
ers serving Gulf County will be responsible for the proper
expenditure of over $4 million during his term of office.
This is your money and my money. It is an awesome re-
sponsibility, since the money is supposed to be spent to
the best advantage of Gulf County as a whole, not for
personal likes and dislikes.
School Board members have even more responsibility.
Each of the present School Board members will spend
neatly $8 million during their respective terms 'of office.
How would you like to be charged with this responsi-
bility? Would you consider yourself competent?
The average person doesn't spend, or handle nearly
this much money in a lifetime. How can we expect the
average "Joe" to correctly handle it in our county business?
Added responsibilities of our Government officials is
placing a more awesome responsibility upon the shoulders
of the voters that of forgetting "favorites" and se-
lecting the man most capable of doing the job.

"Bold" they tell us gets things
not only clean and white, but goes
beyond that and gets them bright.
I don't know whether the BOLD
piece of legislation presented by
Representative Gerald Lewis of
Miami would advance our Legisla-
ture all the way to bright, but it
makes a lot of sense and is cer-
tainly worthy of serious considera-
tion.
Mr. Lewis has introduced a re-
solution which would reduce the
size of the Legislature, make it a
one house, lawmaking body and
save a million dollars or more 'a
year, and provide statesmeni rather
than politicians.
For a freshman legislator, I take
my hat off to Mr. Lewis for his
courage. While voters and taxpay-
ers would probably approve his
effort, it is doubtful if many leg-
islators would go for a plan that
might result in voting themselves
out of office.
Mr. Lewis' resolution would do
away with our present two house
legislature and provide for a uni-
cameral body similar to that oper-
atin gso successfully in Nebraska.
Mr. Lewis realizes that his pro-
posal is BOLD but he justifies it
by pointing out that Florida is in
a BOLD new era and BOLD action
is necessary to advance the welfare
of the state. His resolution would
have to be approved by a state-
wide referendum, probably along
with the constitutional revision if
the subject is taken up during
1967.
Despite this fact, Lewis, who co-
sponsored the resolution along
with Dade County Representatives
Sandy D'Alemberte and Carey
Matthews, says that there is some
interest being shown in the pro-
posal. A number of othe rlegisla-
tors have signed their names as co-
sponsors and these include both
Republicans and Democrats in the
house where the unicameral reso-
lution number 23-92 was offered.

All through this session of the Legislature, the talk has been
floating in and out of the Legislative halls in Tallahassee in regards
to moving the Capital of the State of Florida.
One week, Lee Weisenborn of Miami will be raising sand want-
the matter to come to a vote. The next week, the matter will have
died down to a point where it is given scant attention. Then at
times, the matter seems almost dead.
$ *
During all of this, the City of Orlando sits smugly by quietly
assuming that it will be designated the Capital City of Florida pro-
vided such a move should ever take place.
But Orlando should take a gander at who is trying to move
the ,State Seat. If they ever get it moving, by the time the Capi.
tal gets to Orlando, it will be moving too fast to stop and woufd
probably be in Miami before they could get it stopped And
the blooming thing is too heavy to push back uphill.
*
We don't believe the Capital will ever be moved. But if it is,
a sensible method must be found to select a new Capital one
that would be centrally located (The espoused reason for the move
in the first place).
*
We could hearken back to the days when Tallahassee was cho-
sen the State Capital and the legendary (or actual) method used
to select this site. At the timne, only the Northern portion of Flor-
ida was inhabited and the story, is that a man started walking in
Pensacola one from St. Augustine and they met in Talla-
hassee to centrally locate the seat of state government.
If you get a REAL map of the State of Florida (not one of those
bob-tailed jobs) you will see that the top of Florida is nearly as
long as the state is running North and South. So, if a man started
walking from the East, one from the North, one from the West, and
one from the South to fairly select the .center of the state where
would they meet? Like as not it would be in somewhere in China.
*
The Capital is pretty centrally located right now. Of course
it needs some fixing up. Possibly the State of Florida could get
donations from other States to help fix it up if Florida promises
not to move the Capital. After' all, think of the expenditure other
states would incur re-printing geography books, if the Capital is
changed. They ought to be glad to give us a donation of partial
value if we promise NOT to change.

that problem he asked if she would like him to make the
gourd into a dollhouse. Of course Cathy was delighted.'
She offered to paint the gourd first and Granddaddy agreed that
a painted dollhouse would be
prettier. So, when the paint Last he fastened the pieces

pMeasuring '
Your Mattress
Needs z


Most Americans are far taller
than their ancestors and getting
steadily taller. According to the
Sleep Information Bureau of the
National Association of Bedding
Manufacturers, we're all grow-
ing at the rate of an inch per
generation. At the turn of the
century, only one man in 25 was
over six feet tall. Today that
figure has increased to one in five.
i Even the Japanese, tradition-
ally a short people, are growing.
While no one is sure just why
-this change is taking place, the
chances are that increased diet-
'ary knowledge and an emphasis
,on balanced meals probably have
something to do with it. Another
factor is the widespread use of
vitamins, unknown to our fore-
fathers.
A simple rule for purchasors
of beds, says the Urethane Insti-
tute, if you want them to fit your
family, is to allow an extra ten
inches, five at each end, for sleep-
ing comfort. Since standard beds
are only 75 inches, it stands to
!reason that a single bed for a
man, as well as a double bed for
a married couple, should be ove6-
sized, if for this reason alone.
And while you're shopping for
new beds. investigate ure an
foam, advises the Institute. You'll
save a great deal of money over
conventional mattresses and get
many extras. Hospitals, hotels
and other institutions use urb*
thane foasm mattresses beeausti
of their. versatility as far' a
cleaning Is concerned. Although
light weight and very durable,
the matteses can be washed,
dry-,leaned, steamed and steril-
Ized withiit harm to the inner
construction.'
SOther advantages of this new
man-made material is that mat-
tresses made from urethane foam
are non-allergenic because they
contain no natural fibers such as
hair, rubber and cotton.

In the case of a worker, his en

self-employed person reports hi
earnings. yearly to Internal Reve

warded to the Social Security Ad
ministration, for crediting to th
individual's record.
Everyone should check-his Socia
Security record at least every
three years. The Social Security
Administration has a simple post
card form which may be used ir
requesting a record of earnings.
The individual is the person whc
loses when all his earnings are not
reported. The loss may amount tc
smaller Social Security benefits,
or, in some cases, no benefits at
all. This further emphasizes the
importance of having all earnings
credited to each individual's ac-
count.
The post card form mentioned
above may be obtained at the local
Social Security office. Also, if any-
one knows that his earnings are
not being reported, he should con-

It was an updating of old stand-

A
ed on a 1931 road mileage which
became outdated. The new formula
divides the seventh cent of state
r- gasoline taxes on a basis of 75 per

land area, plus federal money.
Gulf County loses in the total
1 of state and federal funds, from -
Y an old total for the '67 biennium
Y of $145,218 to the new distribu-
tion of $107,923, in the coming
1 fiscal year.
All other counties in this part
of Florida will get less than they
t would have had the old formula
been retained, with the exception
of Bay and Leon, which both re-
t ceive increases.
Gulf County uses this money in
their secondary road paving and
maintenance program and to pay
for various paving bond projects.
This amounts to nearly half of the
total money received each year
from the State for paving purposes.
