The'Gulf County Board of Public Instruction came out smelling like a rose in a hassle. with. the U. S. Department of Health, 'Education and Welfare this week when they were notified by HEW that the Board is complying in a satisfac- 'tory manner with HEW, guidelines for integration. The Board was notified earlier this school year that Gulf County would receive no further Govern- ment funds because of some 23 violations of the Civil Rights Act charged against the system by HEW. Most of th6 charges stemmed from a lack of percentage of inte- grated pupils and teachers in the public schools, particularly in Port St. Joe.

Sunday afternoon at 6:00 p.m., fire broke out in the closet of the Robert Montgomery home at 1607 Garrison Avenue. The fire was apparently caused by the Montgomery's four-year-old son playing with matches in the closet. Firemen confined the blaze to the immediate area of the closet which was located in a bedroom.

Those interested .in enrolling in the school should fill out the blanks and mail in the self addres- sed envelope which will accompany the enrollment blank. The purpose of the blanks is to ascertain what facilities will be needed to start the school. Plans are to open Port St. Joe Christian Schools next school term with grades one through three. Board Accepts new. Gulf Courthouse I With Reservations The Gulf County Commission conditionally accepted the new' Gulf County Courthouse here in Port St. Joe Tuesday, when they paid the prime contractor, Guin and Hunt of Pensacola, $40,000.00 on his last estimate of payment. The County retained $8,642 un- til differences are agreed upon for days beyond the construction time and some work to be done to tile in the entrance to the new building. Architect Paul Donofro said that by his records, the County owed Guin and Hunt 133 days extension' time--time brought about by incle- ment weather, grand jury actions, failure of materials to arrive on time and other accumulated rea- sons. The Board deferred allowing the extra'time without penalty un- til they could meet with the con- tractor and discuss the matter. Donofro filed documents with the County to -corroborate his claims for the extra days of exten- sion. ,But, other than these two items, the Courthouse has been approved and accepted by the Board. Architect Paul Donofro also re- ceivedhis final payment of $6,594 as his final payment for services rendered on Tuesday. Donofro will still be responsible for giving solutions to problems that may arise in the new Court- house during the next year at no, extra cost to the County. -. -c -- -*-- -- of Port St. Joe.

First Step Taken for Water Districts At White City, Beaches The Gulf County Commission took the first step to provide a wa- ter treatment and distribution sys- tem for the Beaches area and White City, Tuesday, when two committees were appointed to act as liaison between the engineers and the county and to work out de- tails for systems in these areas. Named to a committee to serve the Beaches area were: P. L. Ad- kinson, Chairman, C a.r s o n A. Shores, Ralph. Ward, George W. Hull and Mrs. Jean Arnold. To serve as a committee for the White City area are: B. G. Harper, .chairman, Mrs. B. G. Harper, E. L. Antley, Foy Adams and Jim Good- man. "' As another step in expediting a system for Oak Grove, the County received two letters from the City Bob Jones, the County's Clerk of the Works at the new Gulf County Courthouse construction project inspects one of the witness chairs that will be installed in the Court room, upstairs in the building. Behind Jones are tables to be used by attorneys ahd recorders in the court room.

We noted in the papers this past week that the FEA references to a strike are listed "if an ACCEPTABLE pro- grain is not forthcoming ." But last week their strikes conditions were.based on passage of the package as pre- sented by the Committee. There is a difference. And we could no go along with last week's statement. In making a judgement on the FEA's move, you must first be familiar with what the Committee on Quality Edu- cation is presenting. We have not read it word for word but we have read the weekly bulletins of a condensed na- ture put out by the Committee. We go along with the FEA in-endorsing the program as outlined. But we would like to know a little more about some of the programs the appointive "Super Board" and appointive district super- intendents, for instance, before we could go along complete- ly with these two measures. Then there is the matter of financing. Financing methods are not outlined in the Com- mittee's presentation. We think the FEA should look at these items too. If they are unacceptable for better education, then they should be changed. But the FEA has already committed itself on the package as'presented. Their mind is made up be- fore, all of the ramifications are discussed by state-wide representatives. As a "for instance", we call to your attention an ar- ticle in Sunday's paper based on statements made by Sen. Tom Slade of Jacksonville. In this article it was brought out that changes recommended by the Committee will call for changes in the Constitution. This calls for advertising for four weeks, calling an election, and holding an election. It stands to reason that this couldn't be done by the March 1 deadline ... even if the Legislature started off at a dead gallop on this matter. But the FEA has already commit- ted itself to strike if the package isn't accepted by March 1. Would the .FEA advocate abandoning due process of law in this matter? We can't. As we said, by and large we agree that the plan is good; we agree with the PEA that it should be adopted, but only;, after discussion and changes where necessary; We agree with. the FEA that changes are needed. We don't agree with the FEA's call for a strike at a certain date if the plan as it now reads isn't accepted - even though the 'Florida Constitution will prohibit such a -plan from being adopted by the March 1 deadline. We would join the FEA in endorsing the plan. We would join the FEA in promoting the plan. We would join the FEA in improving the plan. But we cannot join the FEA in demanding impossible things. A HERITAGE FOR THE WORTHY Above all else, 1967 appeared to be a year when the verities were questioned-in politics, in economics, in re- ligion and in virtually very other element of the structure of present-day society. What does it all mean? No one really seems to know. Some claim the tearing down of old standards reflects what might be called a healthy renais- sance of advanced thought. Others view with foreboding a trend they feel is leading to a moral breakdown and - aP&&~, a" i1 Al II~O~e~OO~l~d ,........... ,h,& ,,x --.----.----- - SToo Late 1 by RUSSEI Nobody knows h6w many zany laws we have. in the fifty states, dealing with just about every sub- ject under the sun, but there are thousands of them, never repealed and still on the books.

The spoken word is given scant attention- the printed word is thoughtfully weighed. The spoken word barely asserts; he printed word thoroughly con- vices. The spoken word is lost; the printed word remains. anarchy. The experts are the most confused lot of all. Sometimes their judgments of coming events are ludi- crous. Typical of their inability to assess the future was the recent statement of one of this country's leading fi- nancial authorities that devaluation of the British pound was unlikely because the English program of austerity was so fundamentally reassuring as to make a crisis im- probable. By the time this particular forecast was in print, the British pound had been devalued, and no one knows what the future holds for the monetary systems of the world. Out of all the confusion of 1967, one fact has become clearly obvious self-government itself is on trial. This is so because the very truths which are the mainstay of self-government are being altered or swept away one after another-truths that were once called "self-evident". These truths have to do with financial responsibility, the integrity of the family, the inviolate rights of persons and property under the law and concepts of individual self-reliance and initiative that are inseparable from freedom under represen- tative government. A gradual decline in respect for these prerequisites of liberty was never more, apparent in the observation of many people than during the crucial months of 1967. Outwardly, the United States is invincible. But, the founding fathers warned nearly 200 years ago that the greatest danger to the American experiment in free govern- ment could well come from within. A debauched currency, a weakening pride in individual independence and the gradual ascendancy of state authority are undeniably changing the outlook for constitutional government as we have known it in the United States. Few now living have the capacity to view the present era as it will, be recorded in the history books at some distant timne in the future. Our present civi- lization, and more specifically our own country, measured by material progress and the potential for future progress, opens a vista that staggers the imagination. The precepts under which civilization has advanced to this point, and which have brought a greater measure of well-being to more people than has ever been known in the world before, must have a validity that the hippies, the malcontents and the anti-American demonstrations have failed to perceive. No political party, no single group of citizens is solely to blame for the dismal drift that (has put self-government on trial, and as the elections of 1968 approach, we should expect no miracles from our elected representatives. They but reflect the temper and, attitudes of the electorate. The signs became abundant during 1967 that a turning point has been reached in the affairs of the world and 'of our country. As we enter 1968, everyone of us should resolve to be worthy of the heritage of self-government a heritage for which 500,000 men in Viet Nam are laying their lives on the line. create chaos. Most of them were enacted in the early days of the automobile and were intended to protect and safe- guard the public from the dan- gerous motor, vehicles that were appearing on our highways at the turn of the century. Vehicles that traveled at breakneck speeds of 15 to 20 miles an hour endangered pedestrians and livestock. It appears that just about every community or state had its own ideas about necessary legislation to regulate automotive transporta- tion. For example, a law student in Miami discovered that it is illegal to proceed down Flagler Street at night in a motor vehicle. unless proceeded by a lighted lantern, at least eight feet in front of the vehicle. The motorist apparently had a choice of either hiring some- one to walk ahead with a lighted lantern or attach a 10 foot pole to his car with a lighted lantern attached. In Lakeland it is against 'the law for a motor vehicle to be left standing on the highway unless it is substantially fastened. In Eureka, Kans. an old law sti- pulates that before anyone can en- ter the city limits in an automo- bile, he must telephone the sheriff and warn him so that people's horses may be properly restrained. In Oxnard, Cal. the driver would have to wait for a police escort be- fore entering the city and while driving through the city a bell, horn or siren would have to be con- stinually sounded. A Tennessee law required every motorist planning a drive to take an advertisement in local news- papers at least one week in ad- vance giving the route he proposed to travel. In Pennsylvania the Farmer's Anti-Automobile Society high pres- sured the legislature into passing the following regulations: (1) Au- tomobiles traveling on country roads at night must send up a rocket every mile, then wait 10 minutes for the road to clear. (2) If a driver sees a team of horses, he is to pull over to the side of the road and cover his machine with a blanket or duct cover that Demanding Impossible Things NOTES FROM THE GULF COUNTY LIBRARY "A Glimpse of Canaan" concerns a man who because of combat in World War TI is forced to look deeply into himself to find mean- ing in his life. Jim Ferris left his home in Canaan, Vermont, and re- turned many many years later with a young son and a failed mar- riage. It is then that the moment of truth comes to him after an act of violence.

New Hampshire produced the most hilarious regulation of all with a ruling that read, "When two motor vehicles meet at an in- tersection, each one shall come to a full stop and neither shall pro- ceed until the other has gone." There are plenty of others, not only concerning traffic but many other subjects. Wouldn't it be a good idea to review all laws and eliminate those that are outmoded and not enforcable?

Etaoin Shrdlu By WESLEY R. RAMSEY ' It was with much interest we read a feature article by Clarence Bizell in Sunday's Tallahassee Democrat. The article featured the small town of Havana and extolled the virtues offered by this and all small towns. The article was written with the theme in mind that Havana was quickly becoming Tallahassee's "bedroom" with the uncrowded living, the small town atmosphere, the many attri- butes of having "neighbors". Havana is only 15 minutes from Tal- lahassee and is growing because of this fact. The article made one statement that would apply to Port St. Joe. It stated that even though Havana and other small towns were growing, more and more stores on the main street were being boarded up because of the lure of big city shopping. And, even though the writer was from the big city that was strangling Ha- vana's business, we noted a tinge of regret that this was so. It's also so in Port St. Joe. There isn't a business in Port St. Joe --- The Star included but what would show stupendous growth in size and offerings of merchandise, if it weren't for the "pull of the city". Why does this pull exist? We frankly don't know. It isn't because of price, since a little shopping around will bring to light bargains just as good as the large city. It could be selection, but the "pull of the city" is the reason for that. A mer- chant isn't going to stock items he doesn't have regular calls for. He would be foolish if he did. Really, we believe the blame could be laid at the feet of both the merchants and the purchaser. The merchant for not doing enough promoting and the purchaser for not being more loyal to his home town. Port St. Joe needs both the merchants and the people. The City feeds for business of its citizens to be carried on here. We have a nice town here and nothing will preserve it except the loyalty of its people. Maybe all of us should adopt the slogan, "Did you try Port St. Joe first?" * It looks like we are going to pay the price now for the Spring. like Winter we have been having. For weeks we have looked at weather forecasts that have said, "fair, with temperatures above normal". Now the forecasts read, "Cold to partly cloudy, with temperatures BELOW normal". But one consolation, they will not get to the minus zero cold we Pead about in the North and even in the northern sections of the states just north of us. *' * We all belly-ache about the high cost of doctors, hospitals and medicine. It -gets so that we think it is just unfair that we should be forced to pay so much money to stay well. But now, it seems like everytime we pick up the papers the last few weeks, another doctor has performed a heart transplant. True, a patient hasn't lived very long yet. But the fact that the doctors have the operation down pat enough to do now and have the patient live at all should be cause enough for us to be thankf4 for the abundant medical knowledge available at our fingertips dur- ing this day and time. It's comforting to know that there are men in almost every state of the union who can make drastic repairs to the human body with reasonable success. Now, if we could just find a cure for the un-common cold. THE STAR Port St. Jo., Florida THURSDAY, JANUARY 11, 1968 PAGE THREE RICH'S IGA AT PORT ST.

Jeo lr"id THURSDAY, JANUARY 11, 1W96 Social Security Changes 16 Million Dollars In Ou The 1967 Social Security changes signed by President Johnson on January 2 will bring Social Securi- ty benefit payments to more than 16 million dollars during 1968 in this district, John V. Carey, District 3Manager of, the Panama City So- cial Security Office, said today. The increased checks are due for February and will arrive on March 2 automatically. No action is re- quired and, in fact, individuals should not contact Social Security about the increase. The benefits increase will aver- age about 13 percent, Carey con- tinued. However, the increase for many people in our district will be ifar more than 13 percent because minimum benefits have been raised from $44 to $55.

The Social Security tax rate re- mains the same for 1968 for salar- ied people as well as self-employ- ed individuals, Carey added. How- ever, all workers beginning in 1968 will pay Social Security taxes on the first $7800 of their earnings. The cost of the doctor's part of medicare will go up to $4 per month on April 1, 1968. The $4 rate will. apply through June 30, 1969. The Federal Treasury will al- so begin paying $4 beginning April 1, 1968 for everyone enrolled in the doctor's part of medicare. The 1967 changes provide addition- al protection under the doctor's part of medicare which in part re- quired the increase to $4. Actually, far more than 16 mil- lion dollars will be paid during 1968 in this district office area be- cause the changes in the law pro- vide benefits to many individuals who do not receive Social Security checks, Carey declared. Social Se- curity benefits may now be payable in the following situations: Disabled widows or widowers and disabled divorced wives of a deceased worker may qualify for a Social Security check on the re- cord of their deceased spouse when they reach age 50. Individuals disabled before age 31 can now qualify with less Social Security credit. In some cases, dis- ability benefits can be paid on as little as one and one-half years of work credits. Many dependents of women workers will now qualify for bene- fits where none could be paid be- fore. Under the changes if a female worker'is insured or was insured, benefits are available to all cate- gories of dependents such as minor children, dependent husbands, or dependent widowers. Monthly benefits can now be paid to the worker's spouse if the marriage has existed for nine months. In cases of accidental death or death while on active duty in the military service, the nine months requirement is presumed A.M. A.M. P.M. P.M. P.M. to have Ieen met if the marriage had existed for three months. A new claim must be filed in order to receive benefits under these provisions even through a claim had previously been filed that has been disallowed. The retirement test which ap- plies to all nondisability benefici- aries under age 72 has been changed but does not take effect until January 1968, Carey stressed. Under the new retirement test for 1968, an individual may earn up to $1680 a year without losing any of his Social Security benefits. Further, an-individual can be paid benefits under the change for any months that he does not earn more than $140- per month and is not self-employed, regardless of his total earnings for the year. Earn- ings above $1680 per year in the future will cause the loss of $1 in benefits for each $2 of earnings up to $2880 per year. Earnings above $2880. per year will cause loss of $1 in benefits for each $1 in earnings. Many individuals age 62 and over in the seven county Panama City district area should file retirement claims under this new provision. There are many people in this area who do not earn more than $1680 per year. Individuals who have failed to enroll under the doctor's part of medicare have only until April 1, 1968 to accomplish this, Carey em- phasized. Failure of those individ- uals age 65 and over to enroll be- fore April 1 will mean that they cannot sign up for the doctor's part of medicare until January 1968. Of course, individuals who have not reached age 65 should en- roll for the doctor's part of medi- care in the three month period be- fore their 65th birth month. The 1967 changes have made a number of improvements in the protection afforded under medi- care, and have provided another method of receiving reimbursement from medicare under the doctor's part. Payment from medicare may be received as before the changes if the doctor accepts. assignment and receives his money directly from medicare. Now, however, if your doctor does not agree to ac- cept assignment, you may claim paid your doctor or not. If you have not paid your bill, medicare will send you a check and it will be up to you to make settlement with your doctor. This new method for settling claims under the doc- tor's part of-medicare can be used for any medical service that you received after June 1966 or after you reached age .65, if later, that are still unsettled. Claims for medi- care services rendered during July 1966 through September 1966 must be filed by March 31, 1968. A new medicare handbook describing the changes in medicare will be mailed to all medicare beneficiaries in April or May, of this year. The 1967 amendments made sev- eral changes in Social Security coverage provisions, Carey pointed out. Military personnel will .begin to receive more Social Security credit effective this month. for active duty after December 1967. An additional $100 to $300 per ca- lendar quarter will be credited t your record above the amount of your base pay, but you will not pay Social Security taxes on this additional credit. All ministers who have not taken the vow of poverty will be under Social Se- curity as self-employed people af- ter December 31, 1967, unless they object to this cevorage. Individ- uals who are ministers now must file a statement of their objection with the Internal Revenue Service by April 15, 1970 to be exempt. In- dividuals who become ministers in 1969 or later will have until April 15 of the second year after the year in which he became a minister to request exemption. Ministers who Wanted:- Social Security coverage and have been paying as self-em- ployed people are not affected in any way by this change. Parents may now receive Social Security credits as domestic employees in the private home of their children. Social 'Security credits, however, from this type of work are availa- ble 1on a very restrictive basis only. Special circumstances, must exist in the home if a parent is, to receive Social Security credit.

Shoulder Roast 49c Lamb Legs B 79c by HERVEY SHARPE Try shell gardening. It is a safer bet than the shell game.. Prerequisites of the project in- clude trips to the beach to collect the ocean-made flower pots. Many gardeners won't have to make the trip. Often there is a pri- vate midden of shells from pre- vious trips waiting to be turned into something useful. The size of the shell depends on the size of the plant you plan to grow. The giant-sized conchs are ideal substitutes for the average size pot. Conchs filled with geraniums or coleus will add beauty and a nau- tical setting to a patio or a den. Cone-shaped shells placed in a test tube-type rack will give the project a scientific look. By mem- orizing the scientific names of shells and plants you can fool visi- tors into thinking that you are an expert on both land and sea. By adding an air plant to the col- lection, you can become an expert in space, too. Try miniature shells and petite plants if you desire to stimulate small talk. Most beaches are scattered with midget-size shells. If you can't find Christmas is a time for family suitable miniature plants for the get-togethers and New Year's Day smaller shells, try a safari to the week end is a time for football; edge of a sandy-flatwood pond. and hunters in Northwest Florida Here you may find dwarfed took the cut and stayed out of the plants-even with flowers so small woods.

For a real conversation piece, try planting one of the several "in- sect eating" plants. Most likely the garden supply store won't carry carnivorous plants, so you may have to. look elsewhere. First check a' botany book for a picture of a plant called Sarra- cenia. Then check with the owners of sand-soaked low flatwood land. They may give you permission to hunt for the plants on their pro- perty. Some of the picture plants, are said to munch on insects. This could be billed as a feature attrac- tion during a patio party. Shell gardening is only as limit- ed as your imagination. But it's best to stick to the more conven- tional plant-growing ideas if neigh- bors begin to take measurements for a straight-jacket or threaten to call the paddy-wagon.
