The decision to rescind the ear- lier motion was made in order to entice .the teachers to come- back to work after three weeks-of being off the job in sympathy with :a walk-out called by the Florida Edu- cation Association. The Board told the teachers earlier last week they would rescind the. action if the tea- chers would come back to work. The lone dissent to the vote came from Board* Member Eldridge Mon- ey. Money read a prepared state- mcnt in which he advocated "putt- ing the teachers on probation for one year.. Should they leave their (Continued On Page 12) Mrs. Parker Candidate for Supervisor Mrs. Dessie Lee Parker announc- ed this week that she will be a can- didate for the office ofSupervisor of ElectioGs. The present Super- visor, Mrs. C. G. Rish, is retiring at the conclusion of her present term. Mrs. Parker has been a'resident of Port St. Joe' and Gulf County for 44 years. She 'resides at 229 Seventh Street where' she and her late husband reared eight children. *The late T. E. Parker worked 27 years with the Apalachicola North- ern Railroad. Mrs. Parker says she has been preparing for the position for which she will qualify, by attend- ing night school+ for a year, and -a half. The' candidate has worked part time in the office of the First Baptist Church for 10 years and is presently, employed in the cafe- teria of the Port St. Joe High School. Future of Michigan The future of Michigan Chemical Corporation, here in Port St. Joe remained uncertain this week. A visit during the week end by Dr. C. E. Schultz, Vice-President of Chicago Northwestern Railroad Company, in charge of the local division of that Corporation, offered no further light on the future of the plant. Scheduled for shut-down by the end of this month, the plant has gained temporary new life by negotiations of a firm wishing to that the proper location of the road was in doubt, and as soon as this was ascertained, work could: begin. In letting contracts to furnish pe- troleum products and tires to the County for the coming year, the Board decided to give the petro- leum needs business in the South end of the County to J. Lamar Mil- ler, Agent, Standard Oil Company and to Wewa Hardware Company at the North end of the County. Pate's Shell Service was awarded the tire business.

The accident occurred at about 8:20 'Tuesday morning, and ac- cording to investigating officers Police Chief H. W. Griffin and Officer James Graves, the fol- lowing is .a description of events, in the accident: Thomas Edward Haddock was the driver of one auto, headed toward Port St. Joe. Passengers in his machine were Kenneth Earl Haddock, Lynda Gail Had- dock and Raymond Holland. They were coming over the overpass in rain, smoke and fog, which made visibility bad. Haddock overtook a car on the overpass and was Last Rites Held for Mrs. Loula Bellows Mrs. Loula Carter Bellows, age 80, a long-time resident of Port St. Joe, passed away Saturday after- noon in a Pensacola Hospital. Funeral services were held Mon- day at 3:00 p.m. from St. James Episcopal Church with Rev. Henry Hoyt and Rev. Lee Graham officiat- ing. Interment followed in Holly Hill Cemetery. Mrs. Bellows was the widow of the late Robert E. Bellows, Sr., who was in the hardware business here in. Port St. Joe for many years. She was a member of St. James Episcopal Church. She had lived too close to stop. He attempted to go around the car and hit a 1967 sedan head-on, driven by Gillespie. Both vehicles were tra- veling about 25 miles per hour. A third car was. involved in the accident, belonging to 'Gerald Stinson Watkins, Jr., of Apala. cola. Watkins was going to worlg' at Glidden Company, and was following the Gillespie sedan. Watkins' car hit the back of Gil- lespie's sedan in the chain colli- sion. Watkins was not hurt. Estimated damages were $725 .to the Haddock vehicle, $1,200 to Gillespie's car and $425 to Wat- kins' compact. Holland to Tackle Ben C.

Williams of St. Joe Beach. A resident in this area for nine years, Holland is owner-operator of a Mexico Beach motel and a charter boat. "In this day of high taxes and immense governmental budgets our area needs representation by successful businessmen," Holland said in announcing his intention of seeking the job. Holland, born in Georgia and reared on a North Carolina farm, said, "I was raised on a farm, and have lived in urban as well as ru- ral communities. I am a successful businessman with 17 years exper- ience in operating my own busi- nesses and from time to time I also fish commercially.

How--Not To StopA Run To no one's particular surprise, the President's State of the Union message called for an end to the gold back- ing for U.S. currency. What continues to baffle us is that Mr. Johnson and a number of other people appear to believe that this move will show to the world the dollar is sound. The basic facts are not in dispute. Foreigners hold more than $30 billion in dollar claims which can, at their discretion, be exchanged for America's gold. At the mo- ment, though, the U.S. has only some $12.5 billion in gold, and all but $2 billion of this is committed to the cur- rency reserve. Fkom that point on, things get a bit murky. The of- ficial reasoning is that, if the U.S. assures everyone that '$12.5 billion, not $2 billion, is available to trade for dol- lars then, suddenly and miraculously, all will be well. That logic implies that the dollar has got in its pres- efit difficulties simply because there hasn't been enough gold in Fort Knox.' Actually, the reverse is true: The' bullion is disappearing because of the dollar's woes., And what has caused the dollar's difficulties? Well, one factor certainly has been the Federal Reserve's cease- less inflation- of the money supply. A number of Euro- pean bankers, who happen to hold some of those dollar claiips, have been saying so for some time. Inflation of the money supply is, of course, exactly, what the gold reserve) was set up to control. In practice the reserve has proved a weak curb; when it proved an annoyance it was: simply reduced. But the reduction did make it clear to all just what the money managers had been up to. ' So what happens when the reserve requirement is wiped out? Foreigners, along with everyone else, can see the easy money policy still exists, and an end to the gold '"cover" might well convince a good many people that the U.S. :has no intention whatever of tidying up its financial affairs. Elimination of the cover thus might only delay the day of:reckoning. The entire $12.5 billion, after all, is far 'from enough to meet all the potential claims. And what' happens after that is all gone? When a bank has been badly managed: for a long time, a run can't always be stopped merely by unlocking .another vault. . -- Wall Street Joiurnal WELCOME BACK TEACHERS It appears that Gulf County's school system is getting back to normal, after a three week lay-off by a majority of the teachers. All of the absent teachers reported for work Monday morning and resumed the business for which they are peculiarly suited that of teaching Susie and Johnnie. While some on both sides of the recent unpleasant- ness had bitter thoughts about the entire matter, it was 'to the credit of the School Board that they relaxed a lit- e and went as far as was'necessary to get the teacher back into the classroom with the least damage done. We think it was also to the credit of the teachers to heed the first call of the Florida Education Association to go, back to the classrooms and ignored the subsequent murmurs about the state which called for prolonged ab- sences from the schools by teachers. We are told that some good comes from everything. We hope and expect that some good will come from the recent strike. We expect that "good" to be a more in- tense interest in school affairs by parents, taxpayers and students; but we must also expect a re-newed dedication from the teachers to match this expected parent atten- tion. The two together should do more to give us true "quality education" than any amount of money the Legis- lature can provide. Personal interest and concern on: the part of parents and teachers can go most of the way THE STAR Published Every Thursday at 306 Williams Avenue, Port St. Joe, Florida, By The Star Publishing Company WESLEY R.

We would like to personally welcome the teachers ..back to the classroom and offer our support to, do anything we can which will be of constructive benefit to the Gulf County School System. HARD ON THE UNSKILLED A perfect illustration of the paradoxical irony of leg- islated minimum wage increases may be seen in the case of Goodwill Industries--a national organization dedicat- ed to employing handicapped persons., The 'organization may have to lay off some of the more severely handicapped people it employs because of the federal minimum wag increase from $1.25 to $1.40 last year and to $1.60 this 'year. Goodwill Industries is a 'nonprofit organization hir- ing marginal personnel who cannot compete in the mass labor market beca use of physical or other handicaps. A spokesman for Goodwill says, "These people came to Goodwill because they don't want public assistance. We're trying desperately to find some way to keep them independent." Countless jobs have been lost in industry, because em- ployers find they cannot pay the required minimum wage to unskilled and part-time.workers and still hold the line on 'prices in a competitive market. In short, the practical effect of the minimum wage' law is to create unemploy- ment and feed the fires of inflation. And, too, there is many a craftsman today who started off as a high school student, working after school and on week ends with a small business, alongside a skilled trades- man, learning a trade that was to serve him well through life. But this cannot be anymore. The small business and manufacturer not only depended on this type labor to compete with his larger counterpart, but also served as a "vocational school" for the youth of our land. But this practice cannot be continued under present law. .Letter to Editor. Mr. Wesley Ramsey, Editor The Star Port St. Joe, Florida Dear Wesley: Because you were so good to sup- port the Little. Theatre Group in our first effort, we wanted to let you know that we have finally been successful in arranging a perform- ance in Port St. Joe by the Florida State University's Studio Theatre. We've had so many inquiries from Port St. Joe people, both the local residents and those who've' moved out of town and apparently follow, local happenings through The Star, as to "What has happen- ed to the Little Theatre?" Unfortunately, we were not able to have another play because there were so few people who could give the time it requires to successfully ,bring a play to completion. How- ever, the entire community showed so much interest and supported our first production so enthusiastically that we do have adequate financ- ing available to sponsor the Studio Theatre of F.S.U. in coming to Port St. Joe. The .Port St. Joe Jayce- ettes will be our co-sponsors in this project and will handle all ticket sales, publicity, etc. If any mone- tary profits- are realized from this performance, they will be used by the Jayceettes to promote one of their community improvement pro- jects. Over a year ago, we made inquir- ies at Florida State University as to whether or not it would be possi- ble for them to come to us. Partly on the strength of our interest, they have' formed a touring com- pany and will be here on April 8th. They will perform "Afterwards at Glynn", a character suspense-type drama that is set in the South right after the Civil War. It will be pro- duced, directed and acted by ma- ture graduate students, all work- ing on advanced degrees in the .area of theatre. We think they will give an excellent and entertaining performance. We would urge community sup- port and hope that this will work into something we can do on an annual or semi-annual basis. Speaking for all the people who participated in our organization, we are gratefully appreciative of all the support we received from our community and very hopeful that you will come to see the Florida State University production of "Afterwards at Glynn". Sincerely, The Little Theatre Association of Port St. Joe Beth Lawrence, Pres. Comptroller's Comments By FRED 0. DICKINSON, Jr. State Comptroller TALAHASSEE Floridians can expect to see hoodlumism and other elements of street crime and lawlessness diminish sharply this year. Ordinarily, such a prediction as that which I have made would be viewed justifiably with consider- able skepticism. Florida, though, has two ele- ments working against crime which are sufficient to erase that skepticism. We have an aroused citizenry which no longer will tolerate the lawless whims of the beatniks, crooks and other enemies of our great democracy. Secondly, we have a brand new law enforcement arm with 'the skills, integrity, experience and desire' to throttle crime at all levels. ,I am 'proud that as a member of the elective State Cabinet which is responsive to the wishes of the majority of all Floridians, I am a member of this Florida Bureau of Law Enforcement. It is with tremendous enthusiasm that I have watched closely and counseled with the directors of this fledgling agency. Under the able direction of Commissioner Bill Reed, carrying !out the wishes of' the Burean of which I am a member, Floridians have given plain and unbending notice to the criminal element that its 'day of reckoning is at hand. ' ' Going underground will not be sufficient protection for the hoods. Going "straight" and following the laws of society, or going to jail are the only alternatives that our aroused citizenry and our capa- ble law enforcement agencies will allow. CLASSIFIED ADS Midget Investments ith Giant Returnsl Efaoin Shrdlu By WESLEY R. RAMSEY / 1- March truly "marched" in and has been stirring things up since the first day of the month. That "lion" has been truly restless. We have had rain, wind, cold weather, warm weather from freezing to air conditioning weather; already the gamut has been run with the month only 14 days old. If the old adage holds true, the month needs a bit of taming in the next two 'weeks to "go out like a lamb" into the period of "April showers". Politics is beginning to warm up in the area what with the time drawing near for candidates to put their money on the line and make their intentions known. There will probably be more offices to be filled during this election than at an other one time. So we get right out of the school crisis and get into another crisis .. that of deciding who is the best man for the jobs to be filled in May and November. There will be probably more attention paid to qualifications of candidates this election year than in any year in the past. This interest will be brought on by increased tax loads and increased complexity of government. In a way we hate to see the era pass in which the man down at the corner store is also our link to state and national\ government. Like everything else, govern- ment and governing people is getting to be "big busi- ness" and the little man is gradually losing his identity. But the "little man's" importance is still paramount. How long he can maintain this position is anybody's guess. * Come April 1 we will begin to pay the new sales tax bill voted& by the special session of the Legislature last month. We were reading in the papers the other day just what the individual tax load would be to pay for this tax increase. According to the U. S. Internal Revenue Service this increase in sales tax will cost $8.00 a year for a person earning $2,500; $13.00 for a $5,000 income; $18.00 for $8,000; $22.00 for $10,000; $25.00 for $12,- 000; $29,00 for $15,000; $34.00 for $18,000 and $36.00 for $20,000 and above.

So to spring your talents on an unsuspecting public, start the project in a hidden nook and trans- port it to thq front yard at the pro-. per time. If you decide on a discarded washingg machine part,- place it on a dolly for ease in transporting it later.

Boy Scouts Plan Camporee At Tyndall During the past two months the Boy Scouts,* Troop 47 of Port St. Joe, under the guidance of Dr. Rob- ert E. King, Scoutmaster, has been on several campouts. ' In the month of February, two campouts were held. A five mile hike was completed by the troop, and instructions Were given in mapping and trailing by Dr. King. Everyone had a good time on these outings. Our weekly meetings are held on Monday nights at 7:30 p.m. at the Scout House on 10th Street. During our meetings we were giv- en instructions in the use and the safety of firearms by our assistant Scoutmaster. I We are presently planning a Camporee at Tyndall Air Force Base on March 22 and 23. All scout members are practicing for the various events that will be held during the Camporee. -A Court of Honor will be held after the Camporee on April 1 at the Scout House and the general public will be invited. Anyone interested in becoming a Scout can do so by attending any weekly meeting at 7:30 p.m. on Monday. The-age limit is 11 years old. by DON JERNIGAN Troop Scribe Sgt. Gordon G.

Florida Power First 'in Safe Operations "Florida Power Corporation has won first-place honors in the 1967 Accident Prevention Contest' of the Southeastern Electric Exchange.-' announced A. iP. Pere., president and chief executive office r of Flor- ida Power. The first-phece award is in the Exchange's Group One category which includes companies having 2,501 employees or mora. Perez company surpassed the safety re- cords in nine other like-sizd elec- tric utility companies located in the southeastern Lnited States.' Covering the period of 12 months which ended on December 31, 1967, the award is bacd on the f-equency of occurrence of disabl- irag .' jury accidents; thus the com- pany recording the lowest frequen- cy of this type of accident is the winner. Perez said, "Florida Power's fre- quency rate for 1967 was .97 (less than one) accidents per million man-hours worked. By comparison, the latest national figures ',l66) of accidents frequency rates for elec- tric utility companies reveals an average of 5.36 accidents per mil- lion man-hours worked.

He say he is aware of the burden of ad valorem- taxes to the averagei -homeowner". "I feel that adequate homestea( exemption was a major'factor. i the fabulous growth of our state If we are not now to stagnate homestead exemption must be in creased, and this will be one o 'my prime objectives when I rep resent you in Tallahassee," Hol land declared in his statement.. 'As a motel owner and charter boat operator, both dependent on tourist .trade, Holland laid claim to "working long and hard toward promoting and developing our area and making it a better place tc live, work and play." Holland said, "I never got any. thing without working for it, and I expect to have to work to earn the right to represent our area in the Legislature. This I promise to do." Holland said that he would be glad to meet with any civic, reli- gious, labor or ladies organizations and explain his views on the var- ious problems of the area. He is married to the former Miss Louise Allen, and they live with their three children at Mexico Beach. They are active members of :the Long Avenue Baptist Church. He was elected to the first city council in his home community of Mexico Beach and is now serving that term. Kennedy Announces (Continued From Page 1) years to get this passed through the State Association of County Commisisoners. Last year it was; presented to the Legislature but it failed to pass by a small vote. Kennedy says that if he is re-elect- ed, he will continue to work for the passage of this bill. Kennedy says that he spearhead- ed the movement of the County Commissioners of Gulf County in obtaining water for Highland View and is presently working to secure water and sewer facilities for the Gulf County Beaches, White City and Oak Grove. He introduced to the county the soil-cement method of road paving that has reduced the cost of paving from approximately $50,000 per mile to approximately $13,000 per mile. Kennedy says he 'does not .claim credit for all of these advancements, as it was through the cooperation of the other members of the present board and those members of the past that these things were accom- plished. Kennedy says, "It is my policy 'to serve all of the people to the best of my ability and not just a favored, few. If I, am re-elected I will continue to work in this same manner".

The new road would begin at the Willis Landing Road and run due North to the Howard Creek road, intersecting the Howard Creek Road near the new Sauls Creek Road. Commissioner Kennedy asked that the Board ask the State Board of Parks to set aside a parcel of land on St. Joseph's Peninsula for a camp site for the State's retard- ed. children institutions. The par- cel is removed from the State Park site currently under construction on the Peninsula and separated from the main park by land which is privately owned. The Board agreed to make this request. School Teachers (Continued From Page 1) post again without permission they would be dismissed and their cer- tificates turned over to the, State Board off Education for removal". Money made a motion that the tea- chers be re-hired on an individual basis with his penalties spelled out. He also asked for a ban in the classrooms of any material except those provided for teaching pur- poses. His motion died for lack of a second. Board member Bill Rich said, "We told the teachers Tuesday the conditions under which they would be re-hired. We should stand by them." Member Kenneth Whitfield stat- ed, "My purpose is to get our schools back in order again as soon as possible I feel the teachers are adult enough to know to con- duct themselves in the classroom and we have laws to deal with any unauthorized walk-outs in the fu- ture." Zack Wuthrich of Port St. Joe High School had presented the Board a list of teachers who wished to be re-instated to their former positions with no punitive action taken against them. The list stated that the teachers "individually and collectively" asked for re-instate- ment." The list contained the Radiological Monitor Class Planned by Civil Defense A. P.

(Game Commission Photo) , There are few agencies which have a message to give like the "forest message." Essentially, the forest story be- gan to gain a little circulation back in the 20's. With Florida's forests then at the point of extinction from wildfire, incendiarism, and ruthless harvesting the message had a- small,' even humble begin- ning. Gradually it emerged and gain- ed a measure of acceptance. That message developed concurrently with the Florida Forest Service which today lists itf official duties as (1) prevention and suppression of forest fires, (2) giving informa- tion on forests their care and value, (3) enforcement of laws which pertain to forests and wood- lands, and (4) encouraging refores- tation and good forest -manage- ment. At first, fire fighting was the principal function of the Florida Forest Service. As time passed, re- * Florida SForest |Notes, by CHARLES REEVES o County Forester forestation .began also to take an important; place in the operation. Now the forest and wood pro- ducts industry is a major industry within the state. Giant mills work around the clock turning moun- tains of forest raw material into pulp, cellulose and paper. The jobs, -payrolls, and livelihood of many thousands of Floridians are involv- ed in the vital and growing enter- prise of converting raw forest ma- terial into useful products. Presiding over the Florida Forest Service is a five-man Board of For- estry. Individual appointments to the Board expire at varied inter- vals,' assuring continuous exper- ienced leadership. The Florida Forest Service is, as the name implies, a service agency to the citizens of Florida. Market demand for raw forest material is expected to double in the years just ahead. So foresters say, "Pines Stand Tall in Florida's future." Science Talent Search for Area Students A Science Talent Search, which- offers high school students in the area an opportunity to express their ideas and efforts via presen- tation of scientific papers before an audience of scientists, is a new feature of this year's Region H Science Fair to be held Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the-Navy iMine Defense Laboratory in Pan- ama City.

Admission to the dance will be $3.00 per couple,_ names of all teachers who had walked out. After voting to reconsider their earlier action placing punitive ac- tions against absent teachers, the Board then voted to re-hire, with- out prejudice, but with loss of pay while off the job, all the teachers of all Gulf County schools. The vote again was three to one, with Money again casting a "no" vote. The Talent Search is being held this year to bring science-oriented high school sophomores and jun- iors in contact with Florida col- leges and universities.
