City Formally Adopts
$620,130.00 Budget

The City Commission formally
adopted a new budget of $620,-
130.00 for fiscal year 1967-68 Tues-
day night and levied nine mills to
finance the budget. -
The third and final reading of
both the Appropriation Ordinance
and the Ad Valorem Tax Millage
Ordinance was heard by the Board
and the budget and millage una-
nimously adopted.
The new budget calls for a $64,-
606.00 increase over the current
fiscal year and a millage reduc-
tion of 3.2 mills. The reduction in
village was brought about by re-
valuation of taxable property and
additional taxable property going
on the rolls. The largest increases
in valuation were brought about
by the St. Joe Paper Company ex-
pansion and the new Florida First
National Bank building being plac-
ed on the tax rolls.


The City of Port St. Joe was presented a
plaque by the Florida Highway Patrol Friday of
last week for going an entire year with no traffic
deaths. The plaque was for the calendar year
of 1966. Shown above at the presentation, left to


around a second possible site for
the facility.
'In earlier discussion, Commis-
sioner Tom Coldewey reported that
a site near White City had been
offered by the St. Joe Paper Com-
pany several years ago and would
probably still be available .for this
purpose.
The new, proposed site is located
near the Holly Hill Cemetery on
Niles Road extension. The newly
proposed site lies east of the cem-
etery and parallells the dirt road
road which extends east from Niles
Road.
In a discussion of how much
land to request, Commissioner Tom
Coldewey said that he thought the
City would have more success in
their request, if they would make
it a "reasonable" request -and a
"reasonable" offer for rental. He
said the land would be available
on long term lease, if the request is
granted.
Commissioner Bob Holland, who
is spearheading the airport pro-
ject said, "I don't think we, need
over 600 to 700 acres of land. But
we should get. all we need now and
in the future time while we are
getting land".
It was pointed out that the Pan-
ama City Municipal Airport is only
slightly over 600 acres.
Commissioner Bob Fox said that
he had been in contact with the
Florida Development Commission
concerning the airport-and that the
City can expect some help from
this agency. Fox said the Commis-
sion will get with the City in the
near future to help--with drawing
up plans and specifications for an
airport here.
Holland said that before the next

Police Chief H. W. Griffin this
week called attention to the fact
that school will open ih Port St.
Joe next week. and this will mean

the school areas.
Griffin warned that speeders'

offenders.
Griffin stated that already one

killed on the streets of Port St.
Joe, and the Police Department
will be taking steps to see that

pen.


Three Applications
For Negro Policeman

City Clerk Charles Brock report-
ed to the City Commission Tues-
day night that the City has receiv-
ed three applications for the job
of police patrolman for North Port
St. Joe.

to try to secure an acceptable Ne-
gro policeman for this area upon

fice of the State of Florida has ac-
cepted Gulf County's new budget
with two small changes, which re-
sulted in a shift of millage from
one fund to the other.
The County Commission was
concerned about State acceptance.
of the budget since it exceeded the
allowable 10 percent millage in-
crease.
The millage could be legally set
at 13.53, barring an emergency,
which would allow it to be increas-
ed an extra five percent to 14.2
mills. The new budget calls for
15.66 mills or 2.13 over the legal
limit and 1.46 over the emergency
limit.
In an attempt to trim to the
limit, the County Board trimmed
1.6 mills from the Capital Outlay
fund and replaced it with $65,000
in race track funds. This budget
was hand carried last week to Tal-
lahassee by Clerk Core to explain
the budget being too high due to
completion of the new Courthouse
and moving expense.
Core said that the Comptroller's
office suggested putting the extra i
race track funds in the Road and
Bridge Fund and removing 1.6

School Opens, Keep A Watchful Eye


School' is scheduled to start in Gulf County next
Thursday. In addition to getting the kids out from under
foot for a good part of every day, the beginning of 'school
also means problems.
Primary among these problems is the influx of kids
in and around the streets during certain hours of the day.
In many cases it means that kids will be traveling to and
from home on the streets and sidewalks that have never
been out of the yard by themselves or without the watch-
ful eye of a parent watching over them.
On occasion, they will meet with incidents they do not
know how to handle. In these instances, they will dart in
front of your car, or close to the side of the road, causing
you to mutter under your breath, "why don't those crazy
kids look out what they're doing?"
Of course the reason they don't "look out" is because
they are not cognizant of "the danger they are placing
themselves in. So it is the responsibility of you and I to
do their thinking for them and try to eliminate their dan-
ger from our end and not depend upon them too much, at
an early age, to behave reasonably and responsibly at all
times.
We're going to have to be a little more careful with
our driving habits in and around Port St. Joe after next
Thursday.
Especially on Long Avenue.
With two of Port St. Joe's largest schools on Long
Avenue, the danger of pedestrian and motorist meeting in'
an uncompromising position becomes magnified all out of
normal proportion Already Long Avenue is a main ave-
nue of traffic ingress and egress between residential areas,
and Port St. Joe's industrial and business areas. The
danger was already there before the kids hit the scene.
Part of the danger on this thoroughfare will be elim-
inated in the near future, according to Mayor Frank Pate,
who says the State Road Department has promised a red
light for the 16th Street 'and Long Avenue intersection.
This will help. But nothing will help like our motorists
taking .a little extra precaution on this and all streets, es-
pecially after school opens.



We Add Our Congratulations
We believe the County Commission hit a telling lick
for cleaning up the practice of selling intoxicants to teen-
agers and the purveying of pornographic literature in and
around Port St. Joe and throughout the County, last Tues-
day, when they called for a Grand Jury investigation into
the matters.

The Star had some unpopular words to say on these
subjects about a year or so ago, with only temporary
effect.
On the surface, it appears to the average citizen that
this year or so of ignoring the fact that these things are
going on, had little or no effect on the escalation of these
things that erode the morals and minds of our fine young
people.
But, we're not so sure about that. We have had re-
cent reports that a few youngsters have been able to buy
drugs in the vicinity of Port St. Joe. We want to make
clear that this is. just a report, not a certainty insofar as
we are-concerned. But something as serious as this should
be investigated even on the basis of rumor or second
hand report.
There's no denying that most kids will try anything
once. Mine and yours included.
If a Grand Jury investigation can bring to light the
small cancer that is feeding on the bright, minds of our
young people at this early stage of the game, maybe a
future ,scandal can be avoided.
We add our congratulations to their move.



A Strength of Freedom
'Although there are no two individuals alike in all the
world, the human animal does have some common charac-
teristics, both good and bad. One of the better ones seems
to be that the greater a person's education and awareness
of current events, the more anxious he is to express his
opinion on issues affecting his life or his nation.-
Judging by all the uproar that various minorities are
raising in the United States about everything from the
personal integrity of our highest public officials to birth
control, civil rights and the Vietnamese war, it would ap.
pear that this' country must be succeeding in educating
and sparking the intellectual involvement of a good share
of its citizens. Admittedly, not all of this protesting makes
good sense and some may border on the downright illegal
But, short of offending public decency or endangering the
national security, the right of free expression of opinion
is fundamental in our governmental system,
It seems likely that as the Soviets achieve their purpose
of raising the educational level of their people, more Rus
sians will want to think for themselves, and, what is works
from 'the Kremlin point of view, express their opinion
freely. In the age of mass education and communications
the human urge to express an opinion may gradually mak
inoperative the machinery of oppression.

A teacher is someone who may
very well 'be doing the most im-
portant job in the world. And
today, a difficult job, because the
world is more complex, know-
ledge is more complex. How much
simpler it must have been one
hundred years or so ago to be a
teacher, when you taught the
same thing in the same way that
had been used for centuries .
when a slate, a primer, and a
dunce cap were the main teach-
ing tools. But how many fewer
children went to school, and how
much less they learned! Today's
teachers, on the other hand, keep
up with the changing world. If
you are a parent, you are well


aware of this. You need a book
on the new math to understand
what your children are learning.
364 days a year, we take our
teachers for granted. Today, how-
ever, with school opening next
week, is a good time for us to re-
member, and by this word, to hon-
or teachers today's, tomor-
row's and yesterday's teachers.
Florida First National would like
to say thank you to all of the
teachers of Gulf County. We
would like to say thank you for
ourselves as a part of this great
area of Florida. Thanks to each
of you for the wonderful job you
are doing.


Brock Outlines City
Budget To Rotary

City Auditor and Clerk Charles
W. Brock outlined the new city
budget to the Port St. Joe Rotary
Club at their regular meeting last
Thursday, in the Motel St. Joe din-
ing room.
Brock explained that the City
had accepted the new, higher valua-
tions of the County in making up
the new tax rolls for the coming
year which broadened the tax
base in the City and reduced the
millage from last year.
Brock explained that the budget
for the coming year, is some $68,-
000 higher than last year. Most of
this is due to more contributions to
the Municipal Hospital, pay raises
for City employees and expanded
capital outlay.
Guest of the club was Bill Mad-
dox of Hattiesburg, Miss.

Governor Claude Kirk "caught it" from all sides by officials of
the State of Florida for his appearance at a Black Power rally in
Jacksonville last week. "Showmanship" said some "Sensation-
alism" said others. Chiel of the protagonists were Comptroller
"Bud" Dickinson and of course Secretary of State Tom
Adams.
Criticism, of course, was leveled because of differences of
party affiliation or narrow-mindedness in plain words. Re-
gardless of whether you were a Kirk supporter or not; regardless
of what your politics, you can't argue with success. The whole
point is, violence didn't erupt in Jacksonville. Who among you
will believe that Rap Brown was in Jacksonville for other causes
than to foment another shameful riot in our nation?
Whether Kirk's appearance at the rally had any effect in
keeping sanity in what is now Florida's largest city or not, we can't
say. But this we know: Kirk intervened in a Tampa riot and it
ended overnight. Kirk intervened in Jacksonville and a riot
didn't develop. Coincidences such as these two in a row are
not to be made light of.

Both Dickinson and Adams have accused Kirk of trying to run
the government or be the government of Florida. May-
be Mr. Adams and Mr. Dickinson have forgotten that by far the
majority of the people of Florida elected Kirk to be the governor
or government .'. of Florida.
By the same token, the majority of the voters of Florida elect-
ed Mr. Dickinson to be the Comptroller of Florida not the
Governor. The majority of the voters of Florida elected Mr. Adams
to be Secretary of State not Governor. These two jobs are
so interrelated to one another, possibly Florida could lump these
two offices into one and save some salaries. These two apparently

self into the position to run for Governor. If Adams has to have
his way now, in order to play the game how insufferable
would he be as Governor? If his present attitude toward coop-
eration were to elevate with elevation to the office of the chief
executive, he would make Kirk's attempts at trying to be the
chief executive look like that of a bashful schoolboy.

Considering the so-called "patriotic" Democrats standing around
looking for some action by the Governor to "be agin", we think he
ip doing a good job of bringing authority back to the Governor's
office where it belongs. At' least one can't say the office is being
run by hangers-on.
We can't go along with everything he does but then we
don't feel it proper to condemn the program 100% for two or three
mistakes. We think he is wrong in education, but we feel it is bet-
ter to try and understand what he is taking about and look and see
before trying to predict the outcome. The predicting business is
pretty bad these days.

Area Population Survey Being Made

To Begin Development Program


Population changes in the 10-
county Northwest Florida Devel-
opment Council are being mea-
sured as a beginning to a devel-
opment program, the Florida De-
velopment Commission has an-
nounced.
An economics major from
Florida State University, Leo-
nard Elzie, will carry out the,
population research project. As-
sisting in this phase of the Coun-
cil's research program is the
Southern Regional Education
Board.
By involving faculty members
at nearby universities in an ad-
visory capacity, the SRED pro-
gram fosters cooperation be-


tween local development agen-
cies and institutions of high
education, the Commission said.
The general purpose of the
Council is to provide collective
consideration of common prob-
lems, carry out research and
evolve an area development pro.
gram. The counties in the Coun-
cil are Bay, Calhoun, Franklin,
Gulf, Holmes, Jackson, Liberty,
Wakulla, Walton and Washing-
ton.
The Council was organized
early this year with the guidance
and assistance of the Commis-
sion. DeVane Williams of Boni-
fay is president.

"Living Doll" Is

Theme of New

Hair Fashions
Every girl will be a living doll
this fall with one of the new liv-
ing doll hair fashions, reports Hel-
ene Ferris, Fourth Vice-President,
F. C. A., for the State of Florida,
who met recently with several
thousand cosmetologists from all
parts of the nation in Atlanta for
the 47th annual convention of the
National Hairdressers and Cosme-
tologists Association. The new
styles were premiered by the of-
ficial hair fashion committee of
the association, the hair fashion
authority, of the beauty profession.
Unmistakably feminine and alive
the new, styles are a combination
of curve: and curl. However, the
curves dominate only one area of
the head, the front, while curls
take, over the -back crown area.
This gives a split, or two-way look
that does wonders for you with
the lighthearted fashions in cloth-
ing.
There is an understated elegance
in the simplicity of the curves up
front, which give a lot of play to
the eyes and help form a face-on
silhouette that resembles a slender
oval. Bangs appear in most of the
collection ,and usually have a sassy
flip-up over one eye. Ears are gen-
erally revealed, and nape areas are
closely fitted.
SThe curls in the back crown
area run a gamut of forms, either
kicky,ringlets, flippy curlicues, or
spiralled baby doll locks. If yo U
don't have your own curls, fiair
pieces are ideal, or even, single'
locks 'individually pinned "ifito
place as dance all night curls.
The design of the new, styles
must be custom cut for your hair
and facial 'proportions. t nportant,
too, is a dual permanent wave that
gives support to a the curves up
front and' a cu -ly wave. tb the
cr6 n. Big news in' hair coloring
is multichromatic usage of color'
with frosting splahinig the top
sections, or streaks accenting the
curves of the design.

Larry Bryant, the starter for
Port St. Joe was pitching a good
Same and was leading 6 to 3, when

trouble. Stanley McIntyre, the re-
Sthelief pitcher, was tagged for four
works runs and was charged with the
s loss.
Kloskia Lowery led the losers in
hits with three. George Williams
added two. Larry Bryant, Charles

Dear Mr. Williams:
I have received your letter of
May 19 concerning the status of
pupil and teacher desegregation'
in the Gulf County School Sys-
tem. Since receiving your let-
ter, Mr. Dewey Dodds and Miss
Edna Ellicot of your staff have

was made to your representa-
tives. We are well aware of the
requirements of the Civil Rights
law arid are working toward ac-
complishing them.
I have discussed the teacher
integration requirements with
every civic club in Gulf Coun-
ty. The radio arid newspaper me-
dia has helped acquaint the citi-
S zens of this county with the fact
that our faculties will be inte-
grated for the ensuing school
year. The faculties and student
bodies of the schools within the

to teach in Port .St.,,Jo igh
School in integrated class rooms.
These teachers were; contacted
by the administration' an d
agreed to teach in the schools
named, whose student bodies are
predominately of the opposite
race.
All PTA functions in the
schools of this county are de-
segregated. The sports ,pro-
grams, the band programs, and
all extra-curricular activities in
the schools in the county that
have integrated student bodies
are also desegregated.
The Gulf County Education
Association was desegregated
before the beginning of the
1966-67 school year. County
meetings were held as regularly
as before the: merger. A social-
izing and -refreshment period
was included in all the county
meetings.
The county is in the prelimi-
nary planning stage by the
Board Architect to build two
new high schools. The money to
construct these buildings is on
hand and the target date for
their becoming available for
use is the beginning of the 1968-
69 school year. All students in
grades 7-12 now attending Wash-
ington High School in Port St.
Joe, which is all colored, will
be integrated with the student
body of Port St. Joe High
School, which is now integrated-
on a Freedom of Choice basis,
in the new facility.
The four classes of elementary
students at the all colored Car-
ver site (a satellite of Wewa-
hitchka High School) will be in-
tegrated at the Wewahitchka
High School site (1-12) upon
completion of the. new high
school in Wewahitchka. The tar-
get date for this facility is the
beginning of the 1968-69 school
year.
Every student in Gulf County
was assigned to the school of
his choice for the 1967-68 school


year.,
I hope that these teacher as-
signments, our Freedom of
Choice plan (which was handled
in a manner beyond reproach),
and our construction plan, our
County Association being inte-
S.grated, and, the ultimate total
integration at the new Port St.
Joe High School and the new
Wewahitchka High School will
meet the requirements for de-
segregation in this county for
the school year 1967-68.
The citizens of this county.
are going along with the deseg-
regation of our schools at the
present rate of desegregation. I
hope that you will see fit to al-
low us to continue in the man-
ner stated here as we are far,
advanced in our desegregation
program to many counties in our
area. Our citizens are also re-
conciled to our approach and
timetable. This is not to infer
that they' are pleased or that
they are supporting me or the
school board as we seek to obey
the laws of the United States.
Sincerely yours,
R. Marion Craig,
Superintendent

GARDENING IN FLORIDA

Pinching Brings Blushes


by HERVEY SHARPE
University of Florida
Pinching poinsettias and maid-
ens produce the same results-both
may make you see red.
The slap from the lady produces
an instant red face while pinching
-)oinsettias will produce red bracts
this fall.
If you are adept at penny-pinch-
:ng a budget, then pinching poinm
settia buds will come naturally.
. The why's of nipping unwise
,pending in the bud are many. The
iogic for pinching plants is for a'
'arger display of "flowers".
Debudding a poinsettia shoot
*vhen it reaches six inches in
ength will cause the plant to
,row more compactly and to pro-
luce more branches on which to
,et color this fall.
If you have let a number of
poinsettiaa shoots become long and
3ggy, it is not too late to remove
he wayward shoots. The trimmed'
'anes can be rooted easily under
constantt mist and forced to set
tolor by fall.
Be sure to call a halt to bud
-inching during late August. This
7ill give the plant time to mature
*.ts color tips before frost.
Insect Control
Whiteflies, if they reproduce
-ccording to schedule, will soon be-
iome a problem on gardenias, li-V
"ustrums and other ornamentals.
."ne way of checking for an infes-
ition build-up is to shake a limb
Sf a suspected plant. If a cloud of
'hiteflies rises from the leaves,
he answer is obvious.
For whitefly control, Entomolo-
ist James Brogdon with the Agri-
multural Extension Service says
se a malathion or -Dimethoate
,pray.
Sooty mold on leaves of orna-
nentals is associated with white-

from immature whiteflies, aphids,
mealybugs and soft scales. Control-
ling the insects usually prevents
the black mold.
Keep an eye peeled for hopping
insects such as .Georgia thumpers
(grasshoppers), katydids and field
crickets. These pests are leaf chew-
ers. Some of them are night eaters
which hide in the ground-mulch by
day and rasp away on the ornamen-
tals by night.
Chlordane will kill the hoppers
as well as several kinds of beetles.
Spray the ground as well as the
plant for complete control.


Summer is lay-by-time for many
gardeners-they allow part of the
garden area to rest. However, as
the sun may bleach the bare soil
into a sand dune, it is better to
plant the plot to a cover crop.
A legume cover will increase the
nitrogen supply in the soil. Crota-
laria or cowpeas are two excellent
summer green-manure crops which
will check weed growth and give
the garden a neat appearance. The
crotalaria will produce a yellow
canopy of blossoms this fall.
If you plant cowpeas, be sure to
choose a nematode-resistant variety
such as Iron or Brabham.
Summer Chores
A chore that cannot'be avoided
during hot weather is shearing the
hedge.
Sheared hedges which are allow-
ed to become shaggy before being
clipped must be pruned extensive-
ly: large stems are cut and bare
areas show on the hedge surface.
The best answer to trimming hed-
ges is to tackle the job often, and
trim a little at a time.
Broad-leaved evergreen shrubs
and trees need a summer shot of
fertilizer. Oranges, mangos, azaleas,
camellias, and many other orna-
mentals come in this class. .

St. oJseph's Peninsula State Park
told the Kiwanis Club Tuesday that
the new park will be dedicated on
Wednesday, September 6 as the
"T. H. Stone Memorial State Park".
The new Park will officially open
on this date after about 10 to 12
years of working and planning on
the project.
It will be the newest and largest
of Florida's State Parks.
Stone said that two bands have
been invited to take part in the
dedication. Both the Port St. Joe
High and Chapman High bands
have been asked to participate in
the program, which will get under-
way at 12:30 p.m.
Secretary of State Tom Adams
will be the main speaker for the
affair. Mrs. T. H. Stone will unveil
the plaque which designates the
park as being named for her late
husband, a pioneer settler of this
area,
Following the dedication cere-
monies, a free fish fry will be ser-
ved to everyone, attending.
The program is being sponsored
by the Port St. Joe-Gulf County
Chamber of Commerce and the
Florida Park Service. All Port St.
Joe civic clubs are playing a part
in the dedication ceremonies.
The new State Park will be op-
ened with two boat basins, 60
camping sites, swiniming areas,
bath houses and showers, pienic
areas and three playgrounds fiil-
ished for public use.
Stone said that already work is
underway to secure State funds
for future expansion of the new
park.
In a business session, the Ki-
wanians began to take steps to re-
habilitate their tennis court on the
Port St. Joe High School property.
Their first project is to make
needed repairs to the court. A com-
mittee was set up to begin taking
steps to secure lighting facilities
for the court, which was built by
the club four years ago.
Guests-of the club were Harold
Douglas of Panama City and Mike
White of Port St. Joe.

eer of the SRD. A letter from
3r-annon to this effect was read to

The letter stipulated that since
Long Avenue has been designated
as a State Secondary Road the for-
mal request for the light must be
made by resolution from the Gulf


and heavy traffic periods were ob-
served by SRD officials.
Brannon's letter said that a third
survey would be made after school
starts,- when traffic on Long Ave-
nue is at its heaviest.
Ask for Line Work
In addition to the signal light
survey, the City called on the State
Road Department to place center
lines and parking lines on the new
paving work that has recently been
completed in Port St. Joe-under
the secondary road program.
Commissioner Holland said that
