Three R's of Education Monday, the Gulf County Board of Public Instruction applied its own interpretation of the Three "R's" of edu- cation when they said to the missing school teachers, in effect: Resign, Return to your classrooms or face Ret- ribution. It was with reluctance that the School Board had to arrive at this ultimatum, but-it is in keeping with the laws of the State of Florida regarding this situation. And certainly it is with reluctance that the people of Gulf County-have to agree with the action against their friends and fellow citizens. It is a distasteful situation from whatever angle you happen to be viewing the man- euvers. Above all, no one wants the teachers to resign. We know that the teachers we have are experienced. There is no guarantee that their replacements will be. We know and like our corps of teachers. They are friends to many of us. They are neighbors to many of us. They have their roots here. In short, we are accustomed to the teachers we have, and we are loathe to see them leave or threaten to leave. Gulf County has lost some good teachers in the past because odf the County's lack of efforts to provide as they should. The County has now provided; not because the people are crazy about paying taxes, but because we recog- nize that we have a good staff here and we thought we' were insuring this situation. Everyone jin Gulf County wants the teachers back in the classrooms. We believe Gulf County has demonstrat- ed in the past that we will stand by our people. The last demonstration of this was in December of last year, when the voters defied pressures put against them by outside forces and voted 10 extra mills on ourselves to head off the bitterness and unrest that was sweeping the rest of the state. Regardless of what the remainder of the state ;was planning to do, we were protecting our own. After we took steps to protect our own, it just doesn't it,"ight with many of us to have that effort betrayed. .And the longer this absence from thie'classrooms goes on, the mote people are going to begin to wonder. The more they will grow antagonistic. The more they will harbo3l411 feelings toward people they considered friends two w&eks ago. This will only engender a situation from, whicp Ibohody-least of all the teachers-will profit. Application of retribution is not to be construed as a task that, the School Board or anyone in this county will e y.. But, by the same token, it is not a task that will be ,neglected. Application of retribution is tasteless enough-when it must be applied to a total stranger, let alone to friends and neighbors. Don't force us into this situation. We don't enjoy it, but we cannot shirk the duty. ,We must point out that nothing Gulf County can do Etao'in y W. Shrdlu By WESLEY R. RAMSEY .4 :";`"~~"'~ We read, heartening news in Grit the other day for those U. S. Navy men who go to the Antarctic each and every Arctic summer to observe; take measurements and explore. This duty has been, in the past, a long, cold, dry spell in which they saw nobody but each other. But, according to this article1 in Grit, help is on the way. A team of Swedish women, ages 24 to 34 are going to the Antarctic during the coming Arctic summer to try and climb a mountain. This should spur up volunteers for the Antarctic job. But, it may also swell the ranks of the service wives who say, "You tell them you can't go!" We were going into the postoffice the other day, when Ralph Swatts met us at the door and said, "Where's Your Cadillac?" We turned around to see who was following us that might drive a Cadillac, but saw nobody there. "Are you talking to me?" I asked. - "Yeah", said Ralph. "Where's your Cadillac?" We went along with the game and told him the chauffeur had it. "No, seriously," said Ralph.

And conversely, no action taken by the teachers of Gulf County affect the rest of the state. If Gulf County teachers were. the only ones in the state who had walked out, we doubt whether or not it would rate more than third page news more than 50 miles from home. We have our own lives to live ... with our own peo- ple. Just as we will be hurting only our own people by application of retributions; so you will only hurt us here in Gulf County by continuing this course of action upon which you have embarked. It must be pointed out that you are employed by the people of Gulf County; not the FEA; not the NEA; not even the State of Florida. It would seem the reasonable thing to us for you to take up any complaints with the people of Gulf County and let us settle our own problems. South Florida has expressed, many times, an unwill- ingness to fight our battles for us. Why should we fight theirs for, them? We would like to call to your attention the story of the prodigal son in the Bible. Not that we are referring to the absent teachers of our county as prodigal sons and daughters, but we would like to call to your attention the plight the prodigal son found himself in. He thought he was doing what was best for him. He bonded himself to what re thought would be a fair master. But the master wound up making him eat with the pigs. We ask the tea- chers not to allign themselves to a master who will wind up feeding them the husks. We realize that many of you teachers are nodding your heads and saying, "that's exactly the situation we are in with the State of Florida as our master". But it isn't so. The State of Florida is taking giant steps to- ward improving education, and this pause brought about by' a teacher walkout will not halt that progress. Nor will it help it along. No other state in the union is tak- ing steps as large, as Florida to improve its school'system. It is the failing of our system that nothing happens over- night. But it is to the credit of our: system, -that when we arrive at a goal we are on solid ground, not flounder- ing around trying to tuck a foundation under a skyscrap- er we have built in our haste. We must agree with the School Board in their ulti- matum, however reluctant we do so. We must abide by the rules and in so doing, we earnestly hope that not one' teacher in Gulf County causes the retribution that lies amoig the. ruls, to necessarily| be applied to them. Gulf County and the teachers of Gulf County can best be served by an exodus'of the teachers-from the meet- ing room back to the classroom. someone else had already won a Cadillac .. if our number matched!" Doggone, the first chance I've ever had to own a Cadillac and I threw the silly thing in the trash basket thinking- it was just another gimmick to make me buy some books. (But, I had another chance the other day but this time it was a purchase of records that got my "winning number" con- sidered. Suspicious soul that I am, I threw that "chanceP' away too.) * Maybe a break in the teacher strike is on the way. The Legis- latie leaders have finally taught Phil Constans, high duck of the ..., some matheriatics. Constans has now admitted that his fig- ures concerning the amount of money allocated for education K-12 passed in the Legislature was in reality, $162 million rather than the $92 million he told the FEA. We: don't know whether he has made this admission known to all the FEA members or not, but it was in all the newspapers. It might seem out of step for the Legislature to be teaching a School man how to add and subtract, but the House rose to the occa- sion by letting its school teacher member, Ralph Turlington, do the job. Also, of this total amount for the State, Gulf County will re- .ceive a gross amount of $407,690.00 in new funds, according to funds released by the State Department of Education. This same department says we will lose $127,068.00 of this money in millage rollbacks. In this increase in funds will be $133,058 for local teach- er salary increases. We contend that our net will be greater than the $286,022.00 according to state figures. To begin with we will roll back our millage only 3.3 mills rather than the 4.11 computed by the state. This is because we have .81 mills tied up by a bond issue which will not be affected by the roll-back law., Secondly, state funds will re- place local money now being used to hike teacher salaries, and this local money will now be available for other purposes. * What happened to all you skeptics who didn't believe in the groundhog a few weeks back?

Stephens, USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. Emory L. Stephens of 1308 McClellan Ave., Port St. Joe, Fla., and husband of the former Miss Melody J. Gamble of 17 Aintree Ave., North Charleston, S. C., participated in the rescue pf a U. S. Army utility landing craft off the coast of North Vietnam as a crewmember aboard the U. S. Seventh Fleet destroyer USS Bordelon. During one of its patrols the destroyer picked up a vessel on its radar screen about 20 miles north of the Demilitarized Zone. In company with the Australian destroyer HMAS Perth, the Bordelon approached the craft. Learning that the craft was a United States Army vessel and that it had strayed off course due to faulty equipment and weather con- dition, the Bordelon escorted the craft seaward. the instructor, plus the use of teaching aids and a sufficient quantity of textbooks which are easy to read. So, many words have been written, and uttered, within the past several months about bet- ter educational facilities, more tools to work with, fewer students per teacher, etc., but will these things truly bring about the desir- ed result, better education for our children? I think it time that we who are parents ask ourselves and' our edu- cators this question. \What do I understand of the goals, the objec- tives of our schools? What is meant by the phrase "quality edu- "cation"? What do I expect the schools to teach my children? In answer to these questions the Ed- ucational Policies Commission of the NEA has suggested objectives such as: respect for individual dig- nity, personal liberty, responsible citizenship, instilling moral-habits and building upright character. These are high sounding ideals, but how are they to be reached? They are especially thoughtworthy at a time when we see a lack of respect on the part of our citizens for others and their property, a steady decline of moral habits, and an "I don't care" attitude to- ward character building on the pait of many adults. We no longer feel that good character and a high degree- of personal integrity is a prime factor in the choosing of our public officials, leaders in :industry arid school teachers. Nor do many parents seen to feel a personal responsibility for instill- ing a respect for law and order, honesty and personal integrity in children, by the example and the discipline that is set within the home. This past week the Florida Legis- lature has presented a plan'thru which schools in our state would receive additional monies which would buy textbooks and other teaching materials, build schools and increase salaries. My question as a parent and taxpayer asks, will these monies for "quality edu- cation" help to bring about the re- sults outlined above? Are our schools really intent on teaching students, or are a number of our teachers merely teaching a., sub- ject? And if we are teaching stu- dents, and not just subjects, what are we dedicated to teaching them? One of the promised results of the confusion that has reigned in our school system, is better teachers. We have been told that in order to draw "the best teachers avail- able" we must raise the salary of those in the profession. This sounds logical. However it is obvious that there are teachers in our schools who are either physically or mor- ally unsuited to present a teaching situation that would tend to build honesty or personal integrity in the student. These teachers are out of the classroom, protesting, right along with the rest. What assur- ance do we as parents have that they will not be rehired? I have not lived in this area long, enough to know of specific situa- tions that may exist in the schools here, but I worked in a large cen- tral Florida school system for three and a half years prior to coming here in August, and I witnessed there, immorality, dishonesty, pro- fanity, and simple lack of ability to develop a situation in which learning could take place. Happily, these instances were few, but they existed. We are now at a place in the progress of our educational system where teachers and administrators are demanding the tools that they need in order to teach uroductive- ly. I feel it is the duty of every parent to, first set the example of personal inte'ritv in our everyday living, and then to demand that this same example be highly con- sidered along with the application Receives Award At the recent Third Annual IGA Awards Night held in Marianna, by the Higdon Grocery Co., Quincy, supplier for the IGA Food Stores, outstanding IGA Stores and personnel were recognized and presented an award in 28 different categories. Miss Doris Perna, an employee of Rich's IGA here in Port St. Joe, received the IGA meat wrapper award. of the prospective teacher or ad- ministrator. Again I refer to the county from which I came when I say that no character reference is requested, nor wanted, when a teacher application is filled out. Let me say on behalf of the tea- chers in this county, that from what I have seen and heard you are working under much less de- sirable conditions than those in the county from which we came, yet they have been much more vo- cal in their protest, both ir and out of the classroom. Too, when my son had a difficult time adjust- ing to a new life in a new area all but one of his teachers did everything possible to make life easier for him. We as his parents deeply appreciated this. In closing I would like to make one request of all parents. Teach- J1g children can be difficult un- less the students show a desire to cooperate. Insist that your student show courtesy and respect for his classroom instructors and associ- ates, or take him (or her) out of the public school system and put him in a private school where the-' are more at liberty to require dis- cipline and attention. And insist on' teachers who are not only cap- able of teaching a student, but are capable of presenting a healthy attitude of personal liberty and' responsible citizenship.

C. Byron Smith, pastor of the First Baptist Church told the Rotary Club Thursday that great nations have privileges and the privileges place a responsibility on that nation in direct proportion to its privileges. He pointed out that other nations in the past have had many privileges but they have fad- ed from the scene due to the fact that they didn't meet their respon- sibilities. Smith said that America faces the same choice made by Patrick Henry when he chose liberty em- phatically as against a life of slav- ery. "Our strength of freedom and responsibilities must be based on the teachings of God if we are to survive", the pastor said. The speaker said that God is right and if we are on His side, we will be right. We are not immune from punishment, just because we are a great nation, if we refuse to do what is right in God's sight". Guests of the club were Joe King and Dr. Richard Morley of Pana- mna City and Marion Craig. The Xi Ensilon Kqnna Exemplar Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi met February 20 in the home of Mrs. Gordon Farris with the Dresident, Mrs. Bob Freeman presiding.

When this statement is taken in content with the existing law, it requires every owner of agricul- tural land to make a return every year stating the use, character, and the owner's estimate of the value of the property. I understand that County Agent Cubie Laird has mailed forms to most of Gulf Coun- ty's landowners for this- purpose. If you have not received one, you may call Mr. Laird or me and we will see that one is mailed to you. The forms are also available at the County Tax Assessor's office. Re- member, you must file the return on your land by April 1 in order to have your land zoned agricul- tural for 1968. The zoning board consists of the County Commissioners as voting members, plus the County Agent and County Tax Assessor as non- voting members, members. It is the duty of this board to zone all land in the county as either agricul- tural or non-agricultural. In assessing land that has been zoned agricultural, the County Tax Assessor may consider only suc% factors as relate to agricultural use. He may not consider potential values for sub-division, industrial, or commercial use. However, the revised law provides that the zon. ing board may re-zone agricultural land as non-agricultural when there is contiguous urban development on two or more sides and when the continued use of such land for agri- cultural, purposes will interfere with the timely and orderly expan- sion of the community. Uses that qualify as agricultural under the present zoning law in- clude horticulture, floricuture, vi- ticulture, forestry, dairying, live- stock or poultry production, bee- keeping, pisciculture, and all forms of farm production.
