School Teachers

Back At Work
Gulf, County's Board of Public
Instruction, in a special meeting
Friday afternoon, voted three to
one to rescind'earlier action which
removed tenure from all absent
Gulf County teachers who did not
report for work by Monday of last
week.
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-

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

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

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

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.

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.

doyou use?

It really doesn't matter.
Any coffeemaker can give you a good oup ofeoffee, -
providing you use a fine fresh coffee
that is ground exactly right for your coffeemaker.
We've always known that the correct grind
is important to coffee flavor.
That's why, years ago, we developed Custom-Grinding.
That's why we don't have just one or two grinds
but seven different grinds... to fit any coffeemaker,
including electric percolators, of course,
(Ask for medium-fine grind for electrics).
C stom-Grinding means a little extra work for us
and a little extra time for you.
(It takes 15 seconds to grind a pound).

You know, there's only one reason we insist
on selling custom-ground bean coffees... WE CARE.

Perez said that Florida Power has
won this first-place safety award
three times in the past in 1961,

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.

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.
Officials of the Southeastern,

cannot, offer "a tax paying busi
nessman's solution for". 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.

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".

for right of way for a new road
to be constructed in Willis Swamp.
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.

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

five more to be placed there later in the spring. He stated that a

, 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-

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."

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.
Scheduled to be held Friday eve-
ning at 7:00 p.m. in the auditorium

Gulf, Holmes, Jackson and Wash-
ington counties, are eligible to par-
ticipate in the Talent Search por-
