JOE, FLORIDA, 32456 .THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 1967 NUMBER 42 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.

A Certificate was also present- 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. Tax Equalization The Board- voted Tuesday ,to have their first meeting on the matter of tax equalization Mon- day night, July 3 at 7:00 p.m., in which meeting the Board will be- gin preparations for-the new bud- get to be decided on in early Au- gust.

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 Dixie Youth All-Star Games Begin Saturday At 5:00 P.M. The annual Dixie Youth All- Star games will be played on Saturday, July 1 with two games scheduled for -the evening, ac- cording to Merrill Sherrill, pres- ident of the league.

Pi 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, leaving approximately 8,000 tickets to be sold at each game. Herring is pictured above, center, with program chairman, Dr. Robert E. King, left, and Kiwanis President, Wayne White. 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. I ---- Supper Meeting for Sportsmen Saturday All persons interested in conser- vation of game and fresh water wild life in this area are urged to attend the monthly meeting of the Sportsman's Club, July 1 at 7:30 P.M., EDT at the American Legion Hall in Port St. Joe. Everyone is urged to- attend, as the business agenda will consist of many things such as club by-laws, food plots for game, and various other subjects of interest. There must be a greater number of per- sons present at this, particular meeting than ever before due to the agenda being presented. Food will be served prior to the meeting, consisting of chicken and rice, etc. If you are a member, or inter- ested in restocking this area with game and realize the necessity of this club, we will see you at this important meeting. 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. "Last year, we tried to select courses that we thought would serve Gulf County," Dr. Richard asking Gulf Countians to let us know what courses they want." The 1966-67 school year was the first in which Gulf County joined Bay County as a supporting county for Gulf Coast Junior College, which immediately began offering college-level courses at Port St. Joe and Wewahitchka Hig h Schools. More than 130 Gulf County citi- zens participated in the five cour- ses offered last fall and the four more offered during the spring se- mester of the last school year. The current survey is due to Morley, president at Gulf Coast, close June 30, Dr. Morley pointed said this week.

Woman Hospitalized As Result of Two Automobile Accidents During Past Week r PAGE "WO THE STAR, Port St. Jo., FlorIda THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 1967 Editorials 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. Too Late To Classify by RUSSELL KAY Florida News Service "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.

RAMSEY 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. what unicameral legislators would campaign to get the Legislature be called, senators or representa- to consider his resolution. tives, Lewis came up with the sug- Both Houses are on a one-man gestion that they be called vote basis now, Lewis points out.

As far back as stories handed down over the years ago, Old Joe had lived near the spring where all lookers could see and study his docile, slow-going ways. Although his age was not known he was by popular tradition the oldest inhab- itant in Wakulla County. Last July 31 some villain shot Old Joe. His body was found early after the vile deed was done, lying deep at the bottom of the clear waters of the world famous mammoth spring. He was removed from his watery grave by the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission, and his body frozen for safe-keeping. He measured out at eleven feet and weighed near half a ton.

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. CLASSIFIED ADS Midget Investments with Giant Retwmel Stacey Suzanne Watson, four month ol,,ldaughter of Eilene and Frances, 'Watson of. Tallahassee, was the youngest family member present.

It is the responsibility of each i: dividual to be sure that all h earnings, whether wages or sel employment income, are reported In the case of a worker, his en player reports his wages each ca endar quarter to Internal Revenu Service along with his withholdin and Social Security tax report. self-employed person reports hi earnings. yearly to Internal Reve nue Service. These reports are for 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- tact the Social Security office. The office for this area is located at 1135 Harrison Ave., Panama City, 32401.

The new formula divides the seventh cent of state r- gasoline taxes on a basis of 75 per e cent by road mileage, 25 per cent 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. Legal Adv.

After discussion there was a motion by Commissioner Horton, seconded by Commissioner Whitfield and duly carried, that the County tentatively approve these projects, subject to receiving the proper rights-of-way. Mrs. Pauline Sowers, manager of the Gulf County Health Depart- ment, presented a copy of the Gulf County Health Department's bud- get in the total sum of $47,226.00.

The Road Department was au- thorized to install a culvert for H. Y. Zipperer. There was a discussion with a request by Homer Coe for a road to his apiary. It was decided that this road should not be placed on the construction schedule until the right-of-way has been secured. Commissioner Kennedy said that he understood that the Bryant's Landing Road and the Meek's Sub- division Streets were scheduled for paving by the County during this budget year and requested infor- mation as to when these two pro- jects would be paved. The Chair- man said that the Bryant's Landing Road is next on the county paving list, but that the Meek's Subdivi- sion Streets are listed in the Sec- ondary Road budget. i The Mosquito Control Supervisor informed the Board that the Coop- er project has been completed; that the Board should inspect the work and then obtain a release from the owner. Commissioner Kennedy said that some of the fill dirt has caved in and should be corrected before a release is given. The Board agreed to make an in- spection of said project. Commissioner Kennedy inform- ed the Board, Claude England has requested the County to move the dirt placed in his pasture by the county; that the Board has here- tofore promised to do; this. After discussion, there was a motion by Commissioner Kennedy that the County move said dirt. This mo- tion received no second.
