JOE, FLORIDA 32456 THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1971 NUMBER 25 In two meetings during. the past 48 hours, the St. Joseph Bay Country. Club has tentatively agreed to acceptance of a con-, struction contract for the propos- eo 18-hole golf course here and' sent final papers, on their way to Washington, D. C. for final closing of the club's loan with j the Farmer's Home Administra-, - tion.- . * Tuesday night, club officers tentatively accepted a bid of ,the 'Chick Adams Constructioh'.1com- pany of St. Petersburg to butild the course. Final approval of the contract will probably' be made within the bext 30 days or so after approval of Adams firm and minor changes to the course 'plans by FHA. Acceptance will -, also be- delayed until FHA for- ,wards the loan money to, the Country Club. Adams' firm, which,.specializes 'in golf course constriction, has offered a bid for course construc- tion which is within funds allot- ed by the Country Club for this purpose. Wednesday morning club of- ficials met with W. W.Weathers a representative of FHA from Gainesville, to arrange for filing of final papers to close the loan. Weathers was made aware of changes from original plans the club is making and filed all final papers for closing out the loan. Weathers told club president Bob Freeman that he thought all changes would be allowed, but still the requests and-final pa- peras must make their, trip to Washington,, D. C. for final ap- proval. $260,000 has been approved by FHA for the country club project- as ar loan, but still all criteria must bemet before the money is forwarded on to the .club. During 'the waiting period, the Country Club will work on plans and receive bids on a club house and swimming pool. While these. County Planning Move Of Pest Headquarters items are part of the project and are included in the loan request, final approval of these plans does not have to come from Washington, D. C. Club officials sbem to think that the last word from Washing- ton and plans for the club house and swimming pool should all be finished at about the same time.' "Heart Sunday" February 28 will be "Heart Sunday" in Port St. Joe. S96embers of the Key Club and Keyette organizations of Port St. Joe High School will collect for the heart fund drive from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. in a house to house campaign.

Fitzpatrick. By press time yesterday, two of the cases had been dismissed and will not be prosecuted, one had entered a guilty plea and is now placed under pre-sentence investigation, two have been ac- quitted and two cases postponed. Murder Case The lone murder trial on the docket was the first to be tried Monday, and resulted in a direct- ed verdict of not guilty from Judge Fitzpatrick. Daniel Griffin of Highland View had been charged with the murder of Hilton Sewell of We- wahitchka, in Griffin's home last fall. Testimony at the trial report- ed that Sewell had come to Griffin's home ,on the night of the shooting drinking and carry- ing a pistol. Witnesses went on to say that Griffin had taken the gun from Sewell and had it in his possession. Early in the morning, Sewell went to leave and expressed his regrets to Griffin for intruding and asked to shake hands as a gesture of friendship. As they were shaking hands, Sewell snatched the gun from Griffin and it went off, killing Sewell. The judge then directed the not guilty verdict. Two Cases Continued The trial of George O'Neal, facing a charge of gross fraud was postponed' to the fall term of court when a death in the , family prevented his attorney from being present. The trial of V. Ross Nunery facing a charge df shooting into an unoccupied dwelling house, was postponed to the fall term. --Two cases were dismissed for lack of evidence. The cases of V. LeRoy Brake, charged with aggravated assault and V. Da- vid Barnes charged with forgery were both dismissed. Whitehurst Acquitted A second not guilty verdict was brought by the jury Tues- day in the case of George Frank- lin Whitehurst, charged with breaking and entering to commit a felony. Whitehurst was charged with stealing several guns, a cash register, tape recorder and sev- eral, cameras and other items (Continued On Page 10) County Commissioner Rud4y Pip- ,pin told the Bpard Tuesday night that the' County needs to begin making plans to move their mos- quito control headquarters from its location in the old St. Joe ..uimber .and.

He not- ed that there was $30,000 in the' current, year's budget for con- struction of a new mosquito con- trol headqiuarters. Max W. Kilbourn, consultant for the Board backed up Pippin's thoughts by pointing out that the new Port St. Joe sewage. treatment plant will "sit right on the spot now occupied by the mosquito department". The Board, who is thinking along the lines of a metal build- ing to be erected at the rear of the courthouse property decided to go on an inspection tour of such buildings in the area and decide on just what they want. Residents Request Residents of Long Avenue, South of 16th Street carried their request for sidewalks, curbs andf storm sewers for the street to the County Commission Tuesday night, to get their support along with that of the City's. Robert Davis, acting as spokes- man for the eight residents pres- ent outlined the speeds of. the Last Rites for D. C. Floyd, 42 Funeral services were held Sunday. afternoon in Walton County for D. C. Floyd, age 42. Floyd, a resident of St. Joe Beach, died unexpectedly last Friday in the Municipal Hospi- tal. Services were held from the Beach Grove Church of God with the Rev. Claude Sauls officiating assisted by Rev. Davis. Burial was in the family plot in Valley Cemetery in Walton County. Mr. Floyd was a native of Wal- ton County and had lived in the St. Joe Beach area for the past eight years. Survivors include an aunt, Mrs. Pollie Ann Rushing of Ponco de Le:on; two uncles, George Floyd of Ponce de Leon and Jim Floyd of Alabama; one cousin, Grover Floyd of St. Joe Beach. Prevatt Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements. street, pointing to the heavy 'traf- fic "of every kind--foot, bicycle, motorcycle and cars" of children going to and from school. Commissioner Walter Graham pointed out to Davis that the counityhidavailable only,.$.65,- 000 this 'year from secondary .funds for the entire county. "This will be an expensive pro-, ject", Graham said, "and we have. other needs just as important in 'the remainder of the county". Graham expressed the feelings of the Board by stating that he would favor building as much of the project as could be fi- nanced this year, and get more. next year and the next, until it is complete. Davis said, "We don't expect it all right now, but we would like for action to begin, and if work is started, we'll be satis- fied." Max Kilboirn then suggested to the Board that he be author- ized to contact the Department (Continued On Page 10) \ -spit.Road Now Under Construction A Flor ida Department, of Transportation road construction project is underway in Gulf County at a total cost of $165,- 847, District Engineer Bill Lee announced this week. Work consists of-2.651 miles of resurfacing St. Joe Spit Road from SR S-30 west approximately 2.7 miles. This $165,847 project is being constructed by Ward _Ridge Construction Company'of Port St. Joe and is scheduled for completion in May, 1971. For several months, interested sportsmen in the Port St. Joe area have been seeking official authority to build a fishing reef near the sea buoy in the Gulf of Mexico out of old abandoned car bodies. Through the aid of the North- west Florida Development Coun- cil, a course of action has been provided to seek the proper au- thority. The Council has been instrumental in furnishing the proper maps, charts and other data needed and has researched the necessary channels to con- tact for permission, Economics, Railroads Killed Old City -Unger d XHA l -C g g g The'advent of the railroads on the Eastern seaboard and econ- omic troubles, nwt tidal waves, yellow fever, etc4 was the cause of the demise of old St. Joseph. Ralph Unger, a professor of geography at Florida State'Uni- versity, disclaimed the old dra- matic folklore that the town died of exotic reasons Saturday night at a meeting of the St. Jo- seph Historical Society and their guests' at their annual "installa- tion banquet. ,Unger used slides of old maps. to illustrate' his talk which be- gan in history back when Florida territory stretched from the At- lantic Ocean to the Mississippi River. The Territory, then was known as "East Florida",. and *West Florida", with the Apala- .hicola River being the dividing line. This section of Florida began to settle when the old Forbes Company petitioned the Spanish for payment of debts incurred by Indians of the area. The Span- ish paid off the debt in two pay- ments, giving land as payment. Again .the Apalachicola River acted as a dividing line between the two payinents which stretch- ed from the Choctawhatchee Ri- ver to the St. Marks River. The ownership by Forbes, West of the Apalachicola River was ques- tioned by the -courts, and so set- tlement in this area was delayed for a while. Apalachicola was then founded by a Geargia man, named Mit- chell to capture the Georgia and Alabama cotton freight business .9n land where own rship, was thought tb be secure. PEOPLE LOOK WESTWARD In the early 1830's the owner- hip of the Eastern Forbes land area was in doubt-and people be- - gan to look Westward to. the St. Joseph Bay Area and in 1834, the first public land sale was held for the area. The St. Joseph and Iola Rail- road company formed a corpor- ation, sold stock and purchased most of the land, planning to re- tain the cotton shipping busi- ness for this area by building a canal from Lake Wimico to the Bay.. Three of the members had secretly bought up all the water front land on St. Joseph Bay, in- tending to speculate with it. FIRST STEAM RAILROAD But the canal was never dug. .About this time, steam railroads (Continued On Page 10)' Fish Fry Will Herald Opening of Sharks Baseball Season Here This Saturday Port St. Joe High School's baseball team will begin its sea- son Saturday afternoon at 1:00 p.m. with a game against Ru- therford at Centennial Field. The Sharks are starting the season short-handed until the basketball play-offs are over and several athletes can then join the squad. Starting the season on the roster will be: Steve Adams, Greg Goodman, Biff Quarles, Bubba Harmon, Steve Owens, Eddie Summers, Chuck Roberts, Mike Wimberly, Mike White, Ken Whittle, Curtis Little, Bar- ron Abrams, Johnny Goodman, Chris Davis and Jim Faison. Prior to the game, beginning at 11:00 A.M., the Quarterback Club will be selling fish dinners at the stadium and will sell up until game time at 1:00. The Quarterback Club will use the money in their drive to con- struct new permanent bleachers in the football stadium. Work has already begun on this pro- ject. The old bleachers have been moved from the home side to the visitors side of the field to make room for the new bleachers which are scheduled to be in place by the opening of next foot- ball season. This week application was made, by letter, to the state De- partment of Natural Resources. Two other letters will be sent before the week is over seeking permission from federal and marine agencies for dumping and charting the old car hulks. The group plans to prepare the junked cars to meet all specifi- cations, tie them together and dump them in deep water to at- tract gaine fish. Many car bodies have already been collected and prepared and tentative arrangements to haul the car bodies to the dump site. Sharks Begin Climb to State The Port St. Joe Sharks will take their first step toward the state Class "'B" basketball tour- nament Saturday night -when the. take on the winner of the Blountstown-Chattahoochee con- test to be played Friday night. Port St. Joe will be host this year for the District III, Class 'B' tournament, which will fea- ture the three teams. The winner will advance to the Region I, tournament, which the Port St. Joe High School officials have also invited to come here. Both the Friday and Saturday night games will begin at 8:00 p.m. Last year, the Sharks advanc- ed to the finals in the region play in the Region I tournament held in Crestview, but lost out to Baker. Baker went on to lose in the first round of the state tour- nament.

TU Y U Y EDITORIALS.... Still The Best Sometimes we get .to thinking our nation is going to the dogs in so far as personal liberty and freedoms are concerned. And, it's' true, we are more regimented than we have been in the past But, then, there is more peo- ple in the United States now, And more laws are needed in an attempt to protect the rights of everyone to as full San extent as possible. Freedom of the individual, too, is relative we suppose. For instance, one has only to talk to those who have vis- ited other nations to Jearn something of just how good we have it. 'The other day we were talking to Everett Lamber- son who is going back to Brazil in a short while as a mis- sionary. In his work there 'in Brazil, Everett operates Sa radio station. We' asked him if radio stations were regulated in Brazil as they are in the United States by the FCC. 'Everett began to open our eyes by telling us that -m Brazil a news media doesn't dare say anything derog- atory about the .government or any of its members. He said that co ime ts such as are common in the United States concerning leading figures like Nixon, Agnew, F bright, Kennedy, McGovern, etc., just wouldn't be to ated by the government in Brazil. And Brazil is c sidered to be a fairly "free" country. Lamberson went on to say that bad news could be reported without government approval. Should unemployment figures rise, as they have in the U. S. would be hushed up until the government said rele it. And so it goes., In another instance, we were questioning Dr. Joe H drfx whether or not the people of Nicaragua didn't h the doves which he found so plentiful in that country. Joe replied, "The people in that country aren't allowed own a gun ... not even'a hunting gun." But that w n't all. He went on to say that, the people couldn't o land, a house "they didn't eveni'own a flock of chick in the back yard", he said. 'Sometines it takes reports like that to make us lize that we still live in the best possible place on earth for a human being to live. - Listening to Representative William J. Rish recently in a talk to the Rotary Club, it is apparent that the auto- mobile insurance in our state is not only in a sorry state where rates are'concerned, but rather the entire structure by which rates are set need to be revamped. As he re- ports it, raising or lowering the rates is almost secondary to, othei needs in the industry as they are associated with the people of the state who pay for the policies. Rish stated that the rates aren't out of line consider- ing the way the coverage is set up. But he thought there could be some corrections made which would help the average auto owner and insurance customer. As a "for instance", Rish said that a study has shown -that 80% of all automobile accidents in the state total $600.00 and less per total claim. He pointed out that the large part of this was taken up in appraisals by adjus- ters, legal fees, and expenses involved in serving and pay- ing the claim. The other 20% of accidents are the ones who take the gigantic bite out. of the insurance dollar, but that 80% is draining off the policy owner's money faster than he can put it back. I I Too Late To Classify By Russell Kay In spite of the fact that many consumers are inclined, to blame, the farmer for high Prices, figures recently released by the Institute of 'Food and Agricultural Sciences of the University of Florida indicate ,that if business and industry were doing as good a job as the farmers, in, holding down prices, the cost of living would be a lot less for everyone. Consider the fact that five per cent of our population is called upon to feed 95 per cent of the people. Although the cost of everything the farmer needs has increased 48 per cent in the last 20 years, the farmer gets only 10 per cent more in income for - his labor and effort. An average meal that costs the consumer around $2.00 actually nets the farmer who pro- duced the food only about 33 cents. Is that gouging the house- wife? Costly transportation, high wages, expensive packaging, in- creased wholesaling and retail- ing, shoplifting and a lot of other things all go toward in- creasing what you pay for the farmers' products at the super markets. While output per man hour in non-agricultural industries has increased 31 per cent in the last! decade, output per man hour in agriculture has increased over twice as much or by an astound- ing 74 per cent. In the past 20 years agriculture's progress in output per man hour has been, -THE STAR- Published Every Thursday at 306 Williams Avenue, Port St Joe., Florida, By The Star Publishing Company WESLXY R.

The thinking is 1 that the average accident costs more in investigating claim, getting bids, and going through the proper cedure to get maybe $100.00 worth of repairs and is p ing a major role in high insurance costs. The.deduct would eliminate the "nuisance accidents" from requi attention by the insurance, companies and amount tremendous savings, to the auto owner in the long . especially in insurance premiums. There, must be a way for some sort of relief in area. We are frankly thankful that the legislature di rush in during the heat of the moment and looked at the surface of the problem. This has resulted in too m bad laws and unnecessary restrictions in the past. Maybe the sane and sober look the legislature sisted upon in the special session will eventually pay in lower insurance costs for the auto owner without timately eroding his protection.', even more impressive: non-farm up only 69 per cent, while farm output has rise 223 per cent. The poor farmer is also con- demned for the use of pesticides and fertilizers that have contri- buted to pollution. This is true. But in order to raise his crops and stay in business he has to use them. What is really needed is more money for research to develop insecticides and fertilizers that can do the job without polluting the environment. The record shows that every dollar this na- tion has spent on agricultural re- search has returned about 35 per cent per annum in increased productivity. H6w's that for an interest rate?

RAMSEY Dr. Joe Hendrix and B. Roy Gibson went to Nica- raugua week before last as the guests of a medical rep- resentative to shoot doves. Better yet to shoot at doves that have never been shot at before. This pros- pect would make any dove shoot-ater drool and go to any lengths to get a chance at attending such a shoot. They found the doves. Droves and droves of them that were no more skittish at the sound of a shotgun, than I am of a nice, medium rib eye steak and that's not very skittish, let me tell you. But back to the sun. Joe and B. Roy came back tell- ing tales of shooting at 10 pound ducks (they also had a duck, shoot, as well as doves) and having a fish fry one night while there, dining on a 25 pound "perch". Joe said they even had the skillet there to cook that 25 pound "perch". It had to be the sun. or maybe it was "dove fe- yer", something every dove hunter gets when he gets in that dreamed-of dove shoot. But we also heard some talk of the "Aztec Two-Step". That might be the culprit. There's something about that Central American sun it has to be the sun. Word has it that the beginning of our golf course is only a matter of days-or no more than a few weeks- in the future., This is good news. This reminds us of the trouble Spiro Agnew had get- ting a golf drive off the other day out in California. The Vice-President hit three spectators with golf balls and they didn't'even complain as much as some of those he aims at (with driven words). Spiro is going to have to learn a trade while he is Vice-Presidetit or begin to get his ducks in a row to be- come President one of these days. As we understand it, the Agnew wrist watch isn't exactly going great guns, and odds are he'll never get to first base endorsing golf clubs. * This item in the Bloomsburg, Pa., "Press":, "Just in case you find any mistakes, please remember they were put there for a purpose..

Sight obstructions at some crossings increase the danger. The Department of Transporta- tion program will add or improve controls at 160 crossings in the state. DOT has;' investigated every railroad crossing on the state sys- tem and a set of priorities has been established for revamping the cros- sings. , "This system of priorities will allow the railroads to program the work into their schedules," Muel- ler said. , In Florida, the railroad is the contractor for any reconstruction work to be done on rail crossings. Mueller said the railroads are co- operating enthusiastically in the program since it allows them to systematically improve those lo- cations which have been identified as most hazardous. ITop priority in the state has been assigned to a LeJeune Road cros- sing, in Miami. Of the first 20, six crossings are in either Dade orl Broward Counties, six are in Jack- sonville. and 'two in Tampa. Other crossings are located in 40 counties distributed throughout the state.

Graham Says New Road Tearing Up; Wants Repairs County Commissioner Walter Graham told the Board Tuesday night that the extension of Ave- nue 'A' was coming apart and suggested that the county put a coat of asphalt and slag on 'the road before the road bed is dam- aged beyond repair. Graham said, "we can make a good road here if we put a seal- er on top and put asphalt and slag down. We have a good road bed and I hate to see it damaged to the point .where we have to start over from scratch."

Conti dr Page Killed Old City ' (Continued From Page 1) began to make their appearance in the United States and devel- opers, hit on the idea of- build- ing a railroad from lola landing on the Apalachicola River -to St. Joseph to handle the shipments down. river. - The' firm brought to the ,St. Joseph area, the nation's third and Florida's 'first steam rail-. road. About the time St. Joseih was set up to do business, more rail- roads were being built in north and central Georgia and Alaba- ma which beganto get the cot- ton freight to the ports of Sa-. vannah and Charleston, saving the long trip around the Florida pensinsula on-the Way to North- ern cotton mills. This spelled the doom of the shipping center"of St. Joseph. Unger said < that a bankrupt sale was held In 1842 for the St. Joseph and Lake Wimico tRailroad Company, and the firm was out of business. TOWN LIVES ON This wasn't the end of 'the town which had-once had a pop- ulation of around 2,000. It was 1845 before the U. S. Post Office Department closed the Post Of fice in St. Joseph. The settlement continued to get mail service by packet boat however, with rec- ords showing the service still in existence as late as 1854; and possibilities are the service con- tinued even longer. Unger said he has seen tax receipts where taxes were being paid on homes in old St. Joseph as late as 1855. i The Confederates operated a salt works on the Bay during the Civil War which indicates' that the area was still inhabited up until 1870. "Records are very sketchy of that era", Unger said, -and no definite proof of habi- County Plans Head MContinued From Page 11 of Transportation for cost es-, timates of different phases of the job, then the county can select a phase of the work to be done as they have the money available. The Board agreed to do this and will make their first request at a meeting wtih DOT on March 11 which will'probably be instal- lation of all or part of the drain .pipe in the ditches. Citizens Protest A group of Highland View residents, with Howard Rogers as spokesman came before the SBoard about teen age dances be- iig held in the fire department_ building, which is near their home. RALPH UNGER station can be found after the salt: works era. Unger said these records plus signs of the old city still to be found repudiate the stories of destruction by disease and acts of nature. In the installation ceremony, Mrs. Charles Brown installed the new officer slate consisting of: R. H. Ellzey, president; Mrs. Ned Porter, vice-president; Mrs. W. H. Howell, Jr., recording sec- retary; Mrs. Charles Brown, cor- responding secretary; Mrs. Her- man Dean; treasurer; Jesse V. Stone, -publicity chairman; Mrs. Hubert Brinson, cemetery chair- man and Mrs. B. A. Pridgeon, telephone chairman. Jesse V. Stone, resiring presi- dent, presided over the meeting. Incoming president R. H. Ell- zey observed that recorded his- tory of the area was very sketchy and the Society had its work cut out for it, to put the pieces together of this important area in Florida's history. , quarters Move Rogers said, "We don't want to keep the kids from having a good time, and if it were just noise, we'd forget it. But", he said, "there are things going on besides noise we object to". Commissioner S i 1 as Player said he had heard complaints be- fore and he had contacted the Fire Department Auxiliary which is sponsoring the dances; He said he had heard no more complaints and thought the problem was solved. The Board agreed to try to work something out with the Auxiliary toward better control of the dances so the parties could continue to offer youth recreation without: unnecessarily disturbing residents of the area.
