Hand In Th<

Like the young boy caught with his hand in the cookie
;*' jar, the members of the Legislature screamed with right-
Seonusness indignation last Thursday when Governor Claude
Kirk reprimanded them for their actions and slapped their
Swristswith a veto. Of course, the lawmakers quickly over-
iode the Governor's veto and .began to shout phrases of
,"unfair," at being denied a healthy pay increase.
Rep.. Ken Smith of Perry said he "never considered
S'Irk a man of -sincerity" but he admitted the Governor
v. eads the public pulse real well".
' .In'a. speech before a combined session of the House
Snd enate, Governor .irk said, "As governor, I can have
e.. aternative but to respond to the people -when the peo-
., pole's cause, is both right and ju|st ... I veto this bill".
o Rep. Smith echoed the Governor's concern for the
W jucs will' and the public's goo
: earlier Governor Kirk- had stated that he would go
f along with the raise, according to conversations by var-
i.us Republican legislators. 'When he turned around and
vetoed .he measure, the law-malkers were hopping mad.
Frankly we applaud the Governor's actions ... not
:i t f vetoing the bill 'alone, -but for being so cognizant of
i.e Wilof the' pebple. It.wa nio grdat secret that the pay
-,i" .a'was unpopular throughout the State; especially was
't i-npopular in Northwest Florida, '
It was to the Governor's credit that he was able to
i' put the wishes of the people above what he had previously
said he would do. He might have gone a jot farther with
his. reprimand and reminded the legislators that they are

SD Purpose Is To Disrupt


The SDS continues. to make life miserable in the uni-
versities across' ou)r land.. Hardly a university which is a;
common name on the tongues of Americans has missed the
"opportunity" of being host to the SDS and their so-called,
student emancipation in these various universities. Now
the SDS radicals are beginning to arm themselves and a,
creeping -true revolution is being born.
What is puzzling to the average person is how can
universities allow these "demonstrations" to go on. The
chant of the SDS is "racist policies", "protest the Viet-
nam War", "end military recruitment and ROTC activi-
ties". What in heavens name do these things have to,do0
with college education and college regulations? A college
is a place of learning. Most all universities of the land are
totally integrated (and in these integrated universities,
the SDS is using the Negro,to call for segregation).'
The SDS mis/openly Communistic. But this isn't
# against the law any more. Ygu remember the Supreme
'Court has ruled that Communists do not have to register
as enemy agents any more which in effect ',offers ap-,
proval of the group. ,.


In almost every instance of college trouble, the

are professional agitators. There are Federal la
Stake care of these people who cross state lines f
purpose of starting trouble. There are local law
university rules and regulations to take care of the
folks. We think it is high time these laws are pu

One of the best ways we can think of for br
local laws into play to curb university disturbance
the taxpayers who are footing the bill for these univc
to write their representatives and express their dis
val. As long as we pay the bill, we should get th
university program we pay for and not have to bow
to a definite minority desiring their own methods c

The Communists have boasted they would co
us without firing a shot. The definite Communist p
of radical demands at our universities are clear indi
that this boast is being put into action. 'Now is th

He had retired from a career
that saw him head of a success-
ful Miami insurance business
and later president of a New'
York recording studio. He had-
sold- his beloved "Pipe Dream"
and replaced it with his real
dream yacht "Volantis". '
But then-almost by accident
-he began another career that
nipped his retirement plans in
the bud.,Before he knew it,he
was launched on' another busi-
ness career. .This time, however,)
it had 'to do with yachting and
Ihe sea.-
It began when he invited en-
gineer Howland Jones 'to join
him, on a Bahama cruise in 1964.
Jones brought along a. gift for
his host, a new invention he had
I been tinkering with that he call-
ed a tide-clock. "
This amazing one-handed in-
strument not only indicated high
and low tide but also the hours
before and after., A brand new
marine accessory, guests aboard
the "Volantis" were entranced
with and asked why someone
didn't develop the thing for gen-
eral use.
So Colquitt organized a new
enterprise which he called "Time
and Tide" to market the device.
Colquitt served as president;
Jones, the inventor, director and
design developer; and his wife
Jean, vice president in charge of
sales. Headquarters of the new
firm was Boca Raton.
The business prospered from
the start and now the company
is manufacturing riot only the
new tide-time clock but a variety
| of other -specialized items for


yachtsmen, e iInc lu d i ng ships
clocks, barometers and other
precision marine instruments.
Latest development is an ap-
parent wind-indicator suitable
for all classes of sail boats. They
are also working on'new.types of
all weather outdoor clocks called
S"Golf Time" and "Marine Time".
A national network of author-
ized dealers are now handling
their products including, such
names as Abercrombie and
.Fitch, Marshall field and Cama-
lier and Buckley.,
) The prospering business at-
tr a cted Castleton Industries,.

terests in th6e ared and they ac-
quired it as a subsidiary last.

One can tell that Spring is now officially here. Everywhere
you go you can hear the phfft phfft phfft of lawn sprinklers. The
water bill is going up, the electric bill is going up from the air con-
ditioners and the red-headed woodpecker has returned to our back
yard.
Add to these sure signs the fact that the fishermen are brag-
ging .about their shellcracker catches at Lake Wimico and the
mosquitoes began to take their measure of blood Saturday evening
late while I was cleaning my catch" in the back yard. Ralph Wal-
ton and I caught about 30 Saturday afternoon, but they were
mostly bream very few shellcrackers. Reports are that the
really big catches of really big fish were made Saturday morning
. .naturally.
Another sure sign of spring is that all of the Baptist churches
in this area are having their Spring revivals. It happens every year
and is just as sure a sign of the beginning of a new Summer sea-
son as that red-headed woodpecker returning to the back yard..
I even still remember when way baci when we wereo a boy,
living in a small town in Oklahoma before moving to Florida when
the Spring revival was held outside. The men of the church, built
a platform for the preacher and "platform peoplee, moved the pi-
ano outside, set up a loud-speaker and the song leader urged the A
people to sing, "Saved, Sayed, Saved" so they could "hear it down at
the bar-room." And they probably did! "
Now, if the song leader even hears the people singing, you have
a good singing congregation.
All of this was back before air-conditioning when it wasn't a ,
sin to sweat.
Another,sure sign of Spring is to see all the surf-boards once
again being hauled around on top od cars.
Some of the kids were real hardy, and never completely put
their boards up. All winter long, between cold spells, some of
those fool kids would :grab their boards and head for the beach.
It's a wonder they didn't die of ,pneumonia. Surf boarding
must be more of toxic than fishing or playing golf.
Speaking of' Spring, two or three chided me this week about,
telling you to set your clock one hour earlier last week. One of
these-Joe Dowd-said, "You're supposed to set your clock one hour
later, since the official Daylight Savings Time goes into effect at
2:00 in the A.M. and one hour earlier would be setting your clock
back instead of ahead. .
Joe's absolutely right. But, I'm going to wiggle out of that one
by saying that I figured everybody would be like me and set their
clock before the mid-night hour in which case you would still,
set it one hour later, wouldn't you Oh well, rlljtry again next
year to get it right. ,
It's confusing, to say the least and still so simple.
While we're still straight, we'll pass the word along now to
set your clock BACK one hour in October. Then, you will regain I
the hour of sleep you lost Saturday night.

When the need for greater
conservation efforts is stressed,
the line is often heard, "Don't
take your Florida forests for

Although paper is but one 'of

factured from forest material it

duiction of paper from wood is
a comparatively recent develop-

- What could be so important
about a product with such,'a brief
existence? Until a- century and
a half ago.paper was a pretty
dear commodity. It was made .by
hand,.a sheet' at',''.tiu1,, by. a
craftsman who pattdntly iOpped.

most of the water, and finally,
was hung sheet-by-sheet to dry
in a loft.
Then came two; inventions that
made possible the mass educa-
tion that makes democracy work.
The first was the invention of
the paper machine that turned
out a continuous sheet of paper.
The other was the steam press.
Together these two, thru mass
production of material, made
the printed word cheap enough
to bring education and informa-
tion within the reach of every-
ohe.
'Paper making in the United
States is0one of the oldest indus-
.tries.. The first recorded attempt
ht- paper making dates back to
1690. when apmill was construct-
ed near, Germantown, .Pennsyl-
vania.. '.
A paper mill was established
at Williamsburg, Virginia, in
1744, and a second mill was
erected two years later at Salem,
North Carolina-both using rags.
Probably the first successful
attempt to manufacture paper
from- southern pine wood pulp
took place in 1878 near Atlanta,
Georgia. The pulp was made
from shortleaf and loblolly pine
ground wood mixed with rags.
The first continuous production
of sulphite pulp from southern
pine on a commercial basis was
accomplished in 1891 by the
Carolina Fib re Company of
Hartsville, South Carolina.

Since this a time-distance ral-;
ly the instructions provide the.
appropriate speeds for the var-
ious segments of the route. Also,
since the judges have determin-
ed the exact time it should take
to complete the rally, anyone.
whose time is faster than that
previously computed will be pen-
alized (although they may never
exceed the posted speed limits.)
In anticipation of good wea-
ther, the finish line will be somp
where on the beaches with free
refreshments served. For those
who have never participated in
a car rally, this should provide
a great deal of enjoyment as
well as demonstrate the skill
and quick thinking of the good
young driver.

Iwelfare piogra ,:
Child' welfare services are de-
signed for the protection of Flor-
ida's children. These. services are
vyailabIl to. any chilgd.who-is in
need of care, guidance, or protec-
tion., The services provided range
from turning run away chi1areh
to arranging foster'card and- adop-
tions.
Funding comes primarily from
state and local funds. Gulf County
is. alloted $96.00 a month from
state. funds which is based on'
schoolipopulation. This district is
corbposed lof 'nine counties rang-
ing,fro6i Gulf to Jefferson County.
'Five.,of these counties contribute
local funds toward child welfare
services. 'Gulf County does not
contribute and thus the local of-
fice depends primarily on their
state allotment as well as' local
civic and individual donations.-
Gulf's state funds have been re-
duced one-third for the final quar-
ter in the current fiscal year. The
Gulf County office is therefore re.
questing any donations however
large or small from the citizens of
the county.
If you would like to help with
this important program contact
any welfare worker or Andrew F.
Thomas at the old courthouse in
Wewahitchka.

Costin said he had been advis.
ed by Postmaster General Win-
ton M. Blount- in'Washington, D.
C. that the record $1.2 billion
1970 deficit compelled Presidept
Nixon to P seek postage rate ip-.,
crbases. Without higher, rates lhe
Department will. jbe: left w,,ith; a''
staggering deficit,.that, would be-
come an,added public' taxt bur-
den. C' "" '
in addition to increasing letter.
mail from 6 to 7 cents, as pro-
posed by the Johnson Adminis-
tration,' President: "Nixon also
asked 'that the second.and-third-.
.class mailers help reduce' the
large postal deficit which h would.
.,otherwise be: paid by taxpayers;
the postmaster.'said. .',
Fr'bulk third-class mail and
* most magazines and newspapers,
the rates would be increased 16
il6 20 percent -above' today's lev-
els. he noted.' These percentages
include rate hikes already sche-
duled by preyious action of Con-
gress.
The Presidp rt's recommendedd
increases will reduce the 1970
postal deficit by more than $600
million. ,.
The postmaster listed these
other details on the proposed in-
creases: .'
First class mail: letters and
post cards would be increased
one cent, to 7 cents an ounce and
6 cents a piece, respectively, on
July 1,' 1969. Airmail postage
would remain at. 10 cents. This
will yield $557.2 million in new
revenue.
Second class mail:,A handling
charge of 3/10 of a cent per
piece for circulation outside
home counties would become ef-
fective July 1, 1969. This would
yield $15.3 million annually and
would represent a 12 percent
increase in addition to the 8
percent fise scheduled to take
effect January:, 1, 1970.
Third class mail: for single
pieces, rates would be increased
one cent per piece. This would
yield $12.4 million. For' regular
bulk third class, the minimum
would be increased to a uniform
rate of 4.2 reDts'January 1, 1970,
as. contrasted with the present
rate of 3.6 cents. The 1970 in-
crease would' lift revenues by
$46.8 million: annually.

Two Cases Tried in Spring Term of

Circuit Court; Five Cases Postponed


The Gulf County Spring term
of Circuit Court ended last
Thursday, with only two of 'the
seven cases on the docket com-
ing up for trial. The remaining
five cases were continued to a,
later term.
Last Tuesday, a jury ruled
that the Apalachicola Northern
Railroad was not guilty of neg-
ligence of crossing safety in a
damage suit filed by F. E. Brog-.
den as the result of a crossing
accident in November of 1967.
Thursday, after parts of three
days taken up in arguments, a
. jury brought forth a directed
verdict by Judge W. L. Fitzpat-
rick in a case involving a pro-
"perty dispute between Gulf Coun.
ty and Mrs. Jean Arnold.
M-s. Arnold had bought some
Gulf-side property right at the
Bay-Gulf County line and was
planning to build a real estate
office on the land.
The Gulf County Commission
stopped her plans claiming the
county owned the land.
Although there..was.some con-
fusion about, the actual boun-


daries of the property in dis--
pute, the County built its case-
around the fact that' the land
had been considered county pro-
perty for many years.
Judge Fitzpatrick charged the
jury that such understandings
over long periods of time had
precedence over any other claim.
and directed the jury to rule in-
favor of the County.
