A approval Given for
STitle I Program
,,, .- < ,' "
The office of federal-state re-
'lations, Florida Department of
.Edu9aton, has recently notified
School.Superintendent R. Marion
.Craig 'of its approval of Gulf's
'Title I, Elementary and.Second-'
cry Education Act, project appli-
cation in the amount of $67,283.
Initiated in the 1965-66 school
,year, Gulf County has offered
,under Title I, ESEA, a reitedial
reading program for education-
-ally disadvantaged children who
have reading problems. The' pro-
ject for 1971-72 proposes. to con-
tinue .this program; in substan-
'tially the same manner, and this
year expects to reachI on an, in-
dividualized basis about 225 stu-
dents who need remediation.
The funds' pay the. salaries of
"five reading specialists during
the regular school year and dur.
ing a six weeks summer sessioni.
Some funds are budgeted for
supplies, material and equip-'
Jment for the reading laborator-
ies. Teacher aides td'work with
'1the reading specialists are em-,
ployed during the summer ses-
sion.


ing costs come on instructional
salaries, up $50,000; plant oper-
ation, up $21,000; transportation
up $18,000; food services increa-
sed by $10,000; fixed charges up
$21,000 and other expenditures
for instructional, up $27,000.
In debt services, the Board an-
ticipates income of $418,261.46
and proposed expenditures of
$416,535.13.
Capital outlay reflects the big
decrease in the new budget from
a total of $426,884.00 last year
down to' $243,508.12 in the new
budget.


County Decides to Take Offered State Funds and Do

Its Own Maintenance of Second&ary Paved 'Road System


With most of the other coun-
ties in this area requesting the
Department of Transportation to
continue with' their road main-
tenance work, Gulf County' de-
cided last Friday night ;t9 take
the gasoline tax n.on.y now
available to them for this pur-
pose and do their own mainten-
ance
In the past, th6e DOT has
maintained Gulf's paved second-
ary roads. The ourify. will now
get approximately !$142,786 a
year to do the job. The Commis-
sion 'feels they can purcliae the
necessary equipment, hire the
necessary men and do the job

llenging Ownershipof Land Parcels


A class action was filed 1i the
Circuit Court here Weddesday
challenging claims of private
ownership of lands between the
Gulf of Mexico high water mark
apd U. S. 98 at Yon's Addition
to Beacon Hill.
The land owners in. the sub-
division claim they own ,all of
the beach property West of the
highway by virtue of their deed.
Defendants claim to own part
of the property which came from
extending streets in the subdi-
vision across the highway to the
water's edge. These street ends
are the parcels of property un-
der dispute,. .
The plaintiffs are owners of
lots in Yon's Addition and Port
St. Joe Beach Units one and two.
They also claim to be rec-
ord owners of the disputed pro-
perty in the extended streets.
They seek a declaratory judg-
ment to determine t xat the
plaintiffs acquired the rights to
use the beach area strip- br un-
obstructed' recreational and ae-
cess purposes when they acquir-
ed their lots' and that the deeds
of the defendants to parcels out
of the strip are void.
An apartment complex has
already been constructed on one
of the disputed parcels and an-
other site has been cleared re-
cently for construction soon to'
begin. The plaintiffs hope to

State Auditor Cites Board for "Improper Procedures"


State auditor F. E. Asbell,
scored the Gulf County School
Board in several areas in a re-
cent periodic audit of the Board's
bookkeeping procedures l a s t
week. J
Asbell's audit covers a period
from June 30, 1970 to June 30,
1971 and offered criticism for
failure to keep fixed assets ac-
counts and other record keeping
methods required under state
law; purchases in excess of
$1,000 from other than the low
bidder; payment of insurance
premiums for the superinten-
dent; overdrawn bank accounts;
lack of a central purchasing sys-
tem; fund transfers to correct
errors and failure to take ad-
vantage of prompt payment dis-
counts,
/


Superintendent of Public In-
struction Marion Craig told The
Star,, "We are aware of the
shortcomings. I respect the audi-
tors' right to criticize but do not
necessarily agree with his inter-
pretations. We have worked dili-
gently to conduct our school bus-
iness properly and our records
are available for public scrutiny
at any' and all times'."
Craig said that most of the er-
rors and criticisms came from
lack of a central purchasing sys-
tem, 'but, we're just not big
enough to warrant the expense
of such an operation just to
comply with the procedure of
record keeping as Mr. Asbell
desires". Craig pointed out that
all of the criticisms except two


were procedural matters. The
two exceptions were the pur-
chase of $1,000 or more with-
out bids and payment of the Sup-
erintendent's compensation in-
surance with public funds.
"Even these were procedural
to a point", Craig said. The bid
item which drew the auditor's
criticism was purchase of an air
compressor for the Wewahitchka
School. "The low bidder in this
instance didn't comply with the
specifications so we took the
next lowest bid. The auditor
wrote it up because we failed
to note the reason for not taking
the low bid in the minutes. This
was our fault". On the insur-
ance matter, Craig said he and
the school finance officer both


were unaware he was included
in the compensation insurance
grouping. "This money will be
paid back to the school board"
Craig said.,
Asbell's report stated that
:since the board did not use a
general fixed assets group of ac-
counts, he was unable to fix
amounts of the fixed assets such
as property, vehicles, furniture,
etc.
The Board was' also criticized
for failure to use an accrual ba-
sis of accounting for expendi-
tures, thus records of unpaid
invoices and liabilities could not
be determined.
Some 'expenditure vouchers
were not supported by itemized
bills or invoices and some did


not show receipt of goods or
services.
Asbell was especially critical
of loss of cash discounts offered
for prompt payment on in-
voices to take advantage of dis-
counts. He explained that this
was through lack of a central
purchasing system with purchas-
ing authority delegated to prin-
cipals which did not afford the
board the opportunity to always
obtain the best and lowest prices
or take advantage of discounts
since invoices were forwarded
to the board for payment.
Other inadequacies hit in-
clude salary schedules for non
instructional personnel, regular
payrolls were not prepared for
part-time employees or for ex-


tra compensation to regular em-
ployees or for extra compensa-
tion to regular employees, pay-
roll deductions were made for
which there were no authoriza-
tions on file and statements of
an average typical month's tra-
vel for the superintendent and
one employee were not on file.
Various other criticisms were
aimed at the board for failure
to have a comprehensive plan
for replacement of buses and
lack of a written policy govern-
ing the use of school buses for
student activity trips.
Craig said the board purchas-
es buses when they are need. He
also said, "We have only 12
buses and we know where they
are all the time".

World's Safest Beaches


Sometimes we wonder how all those catchy advertis-
ig phrase get !stared which so succinctly describe a
pdtct or an a The moat effective phrases re short,
atchy and easy to remember.
Just how do these phrases come about? Who thinks
them up? .
Last week, we witnessed the birth of just such a short,
catchy, easy to remember phrase which aptly describes
the Port St. Joe area. It was hard to realize that those
present were witnessing the birth of something that would
probably be used and remembered for years to come.
At a County C6mmission meeting on July 13, the
conversation got around to where Highway 98 would go
if.the time should ever come when it would be four-laned.
Mention was madeof Panama City's dilemma with Pana-
ma City beach and the traffic problem there. Someone
remarked (and we thoroughly agree with them) "We
don't want the mess Panama City Beach has; we're more
a, 'family atmosphere'. beach and we want it to stay reason-
ably open and accessible." What the speaker was gett-
ing at was that it was his opinion that Highway 98 should
be removed from the beach if it is ever four-laned and
prevent the traffic congestion Panama City is faced with


on its Beach artery.
Someone made a remark, facitiously, about "the
world's most beautiful beaches" during the period of time
when Panama City'% beaches were recording nearly a
drowning a day. William J. Rish, County Attorney, al-
ways ready with a quip, piped up and said: "At least
we have the-- world's safest beaches" and a. slogan.
was born.
That's how it happens... by accident.
Now the City and the Chamber of Commerce has
taken up the slogan. Our enviable record of very few
drownings and no undertow. (except during storms) has
/given our beaches a safety record enjoyed by very few if
any seaside resort areas. The Chamber and the City are
going to capitalize on this slogan. It's a good one. It's
short, concise, to the point, easy to remember and packs
a message you can't beat.
In the future you should hear more about the "World's
Safest Beaches" and if people are looking for a place to
come and enjoy themselves without fear of dangerous
undertow, it should do our beach business some good in
attracting more of that lucrative summer business.


The cause of the soaring welfare rate of expenditure
by our collective governments is not due to an increase in
poverty. Polls show that the number of people living at
the poverty level has decreased 50 per cent in the last 12
years.
The blame for increasing welfare costs lies with the
Federal government's HEW and with court decisions.
HEW is blackmailing states to accept more costly wel-
fare programs. -For real reform, HEW should be stripped
of its power to dictate these programs. -States need fed-
eral assistance, but they should have the power to deter-
mine how that assistance can best be used in their state.
Two .good instances of HEW's high-handed tactics
have come to light recently, right here in Port St.- Joe.
It was just a few months ago that Gulf County receiv-
ed several bills from the State Welfare department de-
manding the county pay several .thousand dollars in hospi-
tal bills for Gulf County indigents in hospitals all over
the state. The County had no warning of the charges
to be made against the Gulf treasury.' At first; the Coun-
ty didn't even know who was in the hospital or what hos-
pital they were in. This practice has continued this year
with the County refusing to make payments they had not
been consulted with before the debt was incurred. The
County had not even joined up with such a program. They

were just billed. :
- Only recently has the office of the Clerk of the Court,
George Y. Core, been able to get the names of those who
the County is expected to pay bills for. This is a joint
program where the HEW. pays -half, and the state and
county share the other half; we repeat, a program the
County hadn't even joined. Clerk Core said that he knew
one of those people for whom the County is expected to
bear hospital expenses. He noted that one son of this
particular person made $23,000 per year; nearly enough
to pay his parent's hospital bill!
Another instance was brought to lightby "Mickey"
Stone, who just recently made a trip to Alaska. "Mick-t
ey" was telling of -his trip to the Rotary Club last week.
He was reminding Rotarians of how Eskimos formerly
taught their sons to hunt, and the daughters to make
needed items out of-the fruit of the hunt. "But, no more",
he said. "The youth grow to adulthood and receive the
dole from the U. S. Government so they won't have to
hunt for their subsistence anymore".
Forcing a governmental body to adopt a welfare pro-
gram and discouraging young people from working to
make a living isn't the role of welfare in our estimation.
The role of welfare should rightly be the helping of those
who cannot (not will not) help themselves. That, we are
in favor of. The other, we are not.


wife and I seldom eat out any-
more. We find that no matter
how hungry we think we are, we
can seldom eat half of what .is
served to us. Most restaurants
serve generous portions and we
sit there and watch the waiter
carry off half or more of our .ex-
pensive meal, simply because we
don't have room for it.
The menu Informs us that if
desired you can order a "child's
plate" if you are a ,child or are
sponsoring one,. But we are
grownups. Since we are in the
age bracket known as "our sec-
ond childhood" it occurred to
me that restaurants could stim-
ulate patronage from senior ci-
tizens if they would offer a "sen-
ior citizen's plate." The same de-
licious food but a much smaller
portion and at a lower price.
Since most oldsters have limit-
ed incomes, as much as they
might like to dine out they feel
they just can't afford to with
meals in good restaurants run-
ning from $2 to $5 a serving.
Top this with a cocktail before
dinner and a reasonable tip and
they are sunk. If you get any
change from a $10 bill you are
lucky.
The other day Mama and I
went to a good restaurant and
ordered a chicken dinner. We
each were served a half chicken
along with a huge stack of
french fries two vegetables, a
large bowl of salad and a tasty
dessert.
I got away with one drum-
stick, a couple of spoons full of
vegetables, a half dozen french
fries and simply glared at the
dessert. The waiter carried off
most of the food and brought
us a sizeable check. We had a
sickening feeling as we watch-
ed the surplus food being car-


tried out as we thought of the
millions who would go to bed
hungry throughout the world.
I am eagerly awaiting, the day
when some enterprising first-
class restaurant will offer a "sen-
ior Citizen's Plate" as well as
a Child's Plate". I honestly be-
lieve it would attract a great
many new and regular customers
and prove both popular and pro-
fitable in the long run,
I am not quarreling about the
quality of the food or the price
but only the amount.


Florida Gets $4

Million for

FHA Financing

It-was announced this week by
William T. Shaddick, Florida
State Director of the Farmers
Home Administration that Flor-
ida has been allocated $4,000,000
for the fiscal year beginning
July 1, 1971 for the making of
Farm Ownership loans. The
Farmers Home Administration is
an agency of the United States
Department of Agriculture.
The Florida allocation of loan
funds for the year ending June
30, 1971 was $2,00,000.
Farm Ownership loans can be.
made to eligible applicants for
the purchase of farm land, farm
development, including needed
buildings, fencing, land clearing,
land treatment and refinancing
debts where necessary.
Farmers Home Administration
recently entered into an agree-
ment with Federal Land Bank
Association whereby a portion
of the loan needed could be
made by Federal Land Bank.
Farmers Home Administration
can furnish the balance of the
fund needed. The Federal Land
Bank loan portion is secured by
a first lien on the farm and the
Farmers Home Administration

Letter to


the Editor


Dear Mr. Ramsey,
This year, June 1st. marks the
20th year since we moved from
St. Joe and have been taking
The Star by mail.
Each copy is almost like a visit
"back home".
Your editorials are good.
Every now and then I show them
to people here who are used to
reading our big daily Wash. Pa-
pers. Your political opinions are
better than many that we read
. in the larger papers.
Sincerely,
Adalyn N. LeHardy

It's now common knowledge about how the State 1bud-
get swelled, and the tax take swelled and the cost of even
operating the Legislative session swelled during the recent
70 days spent in Tallahassee.
Nothing seemed to escape the swelling process, wit-
ness how the 70 days built Billy's belly Billy Rish we're
talking about. What was once a slim, bouyant energetic
young man, is now a bouncy; round young man of larger
proportions than when he left us back in April.
Really, if you think about it, we the people are re-
sponsible for Billy's bulge. Ever since he has practiced
law in Port St. Joe, he has continually galloped at a gait
which reminded us of those professional walkers in "walk-
ing contests", one sees on the sporting news every once
in a while. He moved about fast enough and regularly
enough to keep his middle middlin'. But, we sent him to
Tallahassee and set him behind a desk for 70 days and
Billy just .. bloated!
Bill is a gentleman about the whole thing though. He
is willing to withstand the fate of being fat every sum-
mer. As a matter of fact, he has expressed a willingness
to go back again next election for a two year term and
risk rotundance for you and I.
Bill keeps a stiff upper lip in explaining away his
present predicament. He says it's just one more sacrifi-
fice for his constituents.- He was busy trying to keep
the "fat cats" from selling us small counties down the
river and his roundness helped him to blend among the
other "fat cats" and eavesdrop on their planning sessions
unnoticed.
When you see Bill, try and pretend you don't notice
his protruding paunch and just remember the sacrifices
a good legislator' must make for his people.

The three astronauts were scheduled to take off for
the moon Monday. Since this is written prior to Monday,
we can only assume they are safely on the way by now.
"Lunar 15" is the name of this trip. That means 15
trips by a vehicle from the United States to the moon.
Joe Parrott was telling a group of us the other day
about his recent vacation trip in which he went by Kitty
Hawk, where the first airplane was flown; that first flight
being in the neighborhood of 150 feet in length and only
a few feet high.
It's hard to believe that a little over 60 years ago, peo-
ple were considering the Wright brothers were out of their
tree for thinking a contraption built by man with a heavy
motor in its nose could ever get off the ground. Today,*
we are so'jaded by moon trips that many of us groan with"
the announcement of a new trip because we know that all
we will be able to get on TV will be that "boring" trip to
the moon.
It's still a marvel to us how that giant sky rocket
at Cape Kennedy can lift 90 tons straight up into the air
and give it a push hard enough to send it 280,000 miles.

Former president Woodrow Wilson's vice president,
Thomas Marshall coined the phrase, "What this country
needs is a good five-cent cigar". This is no longer in
vogue. The country has a good five-cent cigar now .
it costs a quarter.
What the country needs now and you can mark
this down is a good five-cent nickel.

As one newspaper article put it,
at the base of this Island is Mexico
Beach, called by its residents, "the
safest beach on Florida' Gulf
Coast". "The sloping beach ex-
tends into the Gulf for hundreds
of feet, with the added protection
of two offshore reefs. While break-
ing the wave action and prevent-
ing undertow, the reefs do not
seem to seriously affect the 'wash-

some 2,000 acres, much of which
still remains in pine woods and

THE STAR


Chinch bug damage and ferti-
lization is there a relationship?
The chinch bug is the most da-
maging insect on St. Augustine
grass lawns and sooner or later
most homeowners have to spray to
control this pest. Many people
have changed lawngrases as a
solution to the chinch bug .pro-
blem since the insect only serious-
ly attacks St. Augustine grass.
There is, however, a way to reduce
turf injury, and this is by proper
summer fertilization.
Almost ten years ago it was
shown that the source and rate of
nitrogen fertilizer had a tremen-
dous effect on the susceptibility of
St. Augustine grass to chinch bug
injury. As nitrogen fertilization in-
creased, chinch bug damage in-
creased. Grass receiving no nitro-
gen fertilizer had the least damage.
The greatest difference was be-


tween sources of nitrogen. The or-
ganic source of nitrogen at all
rates resulted in fewer chinch bugs
and less grass damage.
Lawn spraymen and others have
thought for a long time the use of
high rates of fertilizers, especially
nitrogen, resulted in heavier
chinch bug damage. For this rea-
son, several turf specialists have
recommended little or no fertiliza-
toin for St. Augustine grass during
the hot summer months when
chinch bugs are most active. The
experiment mentioned earlier
showed the validity of this obser-
vation and this is why the Univer-
sity of Florida recommends t h e
use of an insoluble organic nitro-
gen fertilizer ,perferably a natural
organic, for use on St. Augustine
grass during the summer. Soluble
nitrogen materials, like ammonium
nitrate o r ammonium sulfate,


I-r ~ -


~ -- .I~ -. -


//


should be applied after the peak
of the chinch bug season. During
June and July, if fertilizer is need-
ed, use an organic nitrogen mater-
ial such as sludge.
These recommendations will not
'eliminate chinch bug damage but
they offer a management tool
which can help in reducing the
severity of attack caused by the
number one pest on St. Augustine
grass.

About 40 percent of the men
who "retire" on social security
continue to work at least part time,
according to David Robinson, So-
cial Security Field Representative
for Gulf County.
That estimate is based on a
survey of men who had just begun
to collect monthly social security
retirement benefits. Eligible work-
ers can claim full social security
retirement benefits at 65 or reduc-
ed benefits at 62.
"The survey indicated that 20
percent of the men starting to get
social security retirement benefits
are self-employed," Robinson said.
"About 7 out of 10 of them keep
working possibly because they
can adjust their hours and work
pace more easily than payroll em-
ployees."
Of those who don't continue to
work after they begin receiving
social security benefits, many are
retired workers from businesses
and industries with pension plans.
"About 14 percent of those who
have worked in manufacturing
keep working," Robinson said. "A-
bout 24 percent keep working in
transportation, communica-
tion, real estate, and insurance; 25
percent in public administration,
and 30 percent in mining."
But two-thirds of all workers in
farming, forestry, and fisheries
keep working after they're first
entitled to social security retire-
ment benefits, the study indicates.
"Because of their generally low-
er wages, farm workers may find
it easier to continue working and
stay within the social security re-
tirement earnings test," Robinson
concluded.
A retired worker may collect his
full benefits unless he earns more
than $1,680 a year. He may collect
his full benefit ainount for any
month in which he earns $140 or
less.
For further information concern-
ing social security and Medicare,
call your social security office. Re-
sidents of this area should dial "0"
ask for WX-4444. The social securi-
ty office is located at 1316 Har-
rison Ave., Panama City, and is
open Monday through Friday from
8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., except on
national holidays.

ico Beach Business Center. Work

CARD OF THANKS
I would like to take this op-
portunity to thank the staff at Mu-
nicipal Hospital and Dr. Wayne
Hendrix for the wonderful treat-
ment I received during my recent
confinement. We have some nice

The students receive $1.60 per
hour, and work at school sites
for five hours each day, Monday
through Friday. They began
their jobs on June 21 and have
already received their second
pay check.
Charles Osborne, Supervisor
for Gulf County, is very pleased
with the students' attitude and
behavior, and he believes that,
the program has been beneficial'
to the community as well as to
the youth.
Plans are underway so that
the program will not be limit-
ed to providing youth with sum-
mer jobs but will be continued
during the regular school year.
