made her way to East Point
where she allegedly took an
auto belonging to Earnest
Stancill and headed back to-
ward Port St. Joe. As she
was passing through Port St.
Joe on Highway 98, Patrol-
man Bobby Lightfoot pulled
alongside the car and mo-
tioned the girl to pull over. It
was raining and she became
excited and lost control of the
station wagon on the wet
street and slammed into a
pine tree near Duren's Econ-

The young girl was turned
over to Franklin County au-
thorities who had her charg-

Now, It's the City Law;


Pets Must be Controlled


After October 10, it will be
against the law in the City of
Port St. Joe to allow pets to
roam the streets.
The City Commission had
the final reading of their
leash law Tuesday night, and
voted unanimously to adopt
the measure which requires
all pets to be restrained from
roaming free in the city. The
city will pick up all pets
found running loose and keep
them impounded for five
days before they are sold or
destroyed, under provisions
of the ordinance.
Although the measure was


approved Tuesday night, it
cannot go into effect for' 30
days.
In the meeting, shortened
by the Commission's eager-
ness to get out and get some
election results, the Board
also paid Smith and Gillespie,
Engineers, $7,000 for their
preliminary survey of needs
for repairs, replacement and
extension of the City's sewer
and water facilities.
The firm agreed to do the
work for $7,000 and incurred
costs of $11,000. However, the
firm agreed to charge the
City their original estimate.


The City will take the re-
port and decide which parts
of the recommended program
they will go into. Part of the
program is furnishing water
and sewer for Oak Grove if
the project is feasible and the
City can finance it.
Commissioner James B.
Roberts brought up a concern
for playground facilities in
North Port St. Joe, Roberts
said the people in the area
desired some tennis courts,
ball fields and playground
equipment for the younger
children.

Whitfield won over Betty
Denton Martin, 1,329 to 877.
Incumbent Judge Robert
M. Moore, was the only other
incumbent who led in his

votes, while his run-off part-
ner of October 1, Dr. David
Taunton gathered 954 votes

mar Davis was defeated in
his three-man race for re-
election. Otis Davis, Jr., led

Cooper, who pulled in 945
ballots. Davis was a close
third with 896.

incumbent Walter Graham
was second high to Everett

results, were not known at

Ecology Fight Adds


to Inflation


Someone has had the temerity
to say publicly that our over-reac-
tion to the problems of the ecology
is a major cause of our current
:iigh rate of inflation. We thought
Wvie'd never see the day this sacred
cow would ever be blamed for
Anything except something good.

Economist Milton Friedman, in
a recent article in Newsweek mag-
azine said the extreme expendi-
tures for ecology protection has
been a major factor in creating our
run-away inflation. Friedman said
this situation came about because
of the billions of dollars plowed into
the program which would normally
be spent for improvements and
expansion of facilities to produce
more and provide more jobs. Thus,
as Friedman puts it, we have put
too many dollars, too fast, into non-
productive places. These unproduc-
tive dollars spent are adding to our
inflation.

Our habit here in America is to
see a need and want to correct it
right now, not as we can at a
reasonable pace. This is what has
happened in the area of ecology
protection. Everyone knew the
ecology was in trouble so we must
take every step to protect it right
now. We're do-gooders by nature
and we couldn't stand to see our
heritage go down the drain from
over-use or improper controls.
It would seem to us that we
would not be in as much trouble
and do even a more efficient job of
protecting our environment if more
thought was given to the matter
and effective steps taken rather
than just throwing dollar bills at
the problem in the hopes that the
paper green would stop the deter-
ioration of our resources. It makes
More sense to us to figure out what
our GNP is for a year, set up a


certain percentage of that for pro-
tection of the ecology and spend
that amount each year. This would
get the job done and maintain our
economic stability. It should be no
hard task, for instance, to figure
out how much it would take to
bring every sewage disposal sys-
tem in the nation up to its proper
effectiveness. If the amount allow-
ed for environmental protection
would provide this money in five
years, allow five years for the job
to be accomplished, then move on
to another phase, such as cleaning
up the air. Then we could move on
to solid waste disposal; then clean
up our streams.
It doesn't seem unreasonable to
do this important job on a pro-
grammed basis. As we are doing
now, with the shotgun method of
shooting at every problem all at
once, nothing gets done properly
and we waste a lot of money and
resources.
In our present methods it is
becoming more apparent every day
that much of what we have done is
ineffective because it was done too
quickly with improper planning.

The catalytic converter for new
automobiles is a case in point. We
see now where the converter will
emit more poisonous substances
than the unprotected auto exhaust
system.
We'd like our current preoccu-
pation with protecting the environ-
ment to have a more sensible
approach. The environment wasn't
endangered in a year or two and
can't be cleaned up in such a short
period of time. We think we should
shade the gleaming eyes of our
staunch ecologists so they can see
the effect as well as the cause of
their desire, and ours, to clean up
our environment.


Pertinent Question


: After a recent article in this
newspaper concerning the severely
restricted use of the park on the tip
vf St. Joseph's Peninsula by the
public, someone remarked, "How
can we be sure the same thing
Won't happen to the Apalachicola
River swamp if it is purchased by
the State of Florida?"
SThat's a pertinent and timely
question. For years, the people of
this area have.used this swamp as
-One of their main sources of rec-
reation through hunting and fish-
.ing. Since the park was purchased
rtiy the state for a public playground
-and now the public has all sorts of
:restrictions to using the "play-
-ground", many can see the same
-thing happening to the river
:SWamp.
SAt a recent hearing held here-
regarding the purchase, this very
Subject was raised and no definite
answer was given. The only satis-


faction we received was that the
state people could see no reason for
restricting hunting and fishing in
the area but this decision would not
be definitely made until the land
was purchased. It has been stated
that the Game and Fresh Water
Fish Commission would have the
job of managing the area and an
official of that body has said they
will be interested in using the land
for hunting and fishing.

We still don't know for sure if
the-people will have free access to

matter and use their influence to

Sanitary


Plans for


Beaches
Gulf County twas asked by
the Northwest Florida De
velopment Council this week
to join in a request by Mexico
Beach and Bay County to gel
matching grant to furnish
engineering for a sewer and
water system for the beaches
area. The NWFDC pointed
out in their request that the
Department of Pollution Con
trol had recommended the
grant-75 percent govern-
ment money and 25 percent
local-to furnish the sanitary
services for all the beaches
area. The Council felt the
grant would not be made
unless this entire beach area
is included in the program
and intimated there would be
no federal money available
for any segment which failed
to enter the planning pro-
gram now.
The county has already had
some engineering work done
and plans made for the bea-
ches area in Gulf County but
had not gone ahead with
construction since federal
grants had been cut off after
the survey was made.
The county agreed Tuesday
to file an application of inter-
est in the project and will
meet with Bay County and
Department of Pollution Con-
trol officials in the next few
days to have the program
further explained.
It appears the Pollution
Control people are favoring
one system to serve the en-
tire area from St. Joe Beach
through Mexico Beach.
ASK FOR FIGURES
The County Commission
agreed to ask Tax Assessor
Samuel A. Patrick for some
figures by which a millage
rate may be set for the new
fiscal budget which goes into
effect next month, so tax bills
may be made out for mailing.
To date, Patrick has given
the Commission no figures,
since the State of Florida has
been assisting him in re-valu-
ing real estate and personal
property in the county to
comply with Florida law.
Patrick says they have given
him no figures yet, by which
he may make a valuation.
The Board has asked that
Patrick furnish them with a
millage rate for at least the
same value as the 1973-74
rate and provide an assessed
value of new construction and
improvements and the
amount of increased exemp-
tions granted.
Patrick asked for the re-
turn of $6,246.26 his office
returned to the County the
first of the year as excessive
operating money. Patrick
says the state has changed
his fiscal year, and he needs
at least some of the money to
finish out his fiscal year.
Finance Officer Jerry Gates
said Patrick had only one
month to go to his new fiscal
year, so the County should
get a good bit of the $6,246
back. The Board agreed to
furnish Patrick with the
funds.
PARK PROBLEMS
Commissioner Walter Gra-
ham said the County had
problems at the St. Joseph
State Park. "The ambulance,
Civil Defense or Sheriff
can't get into the park after
about 5:00 p.m., in case of
emergency", he said. He
went on to say that picnic
tables had been removed,
preventing local people from
going to the park for a picnic,
"even if they could get in".
The entire Board is con-
cerned with the limited use
offered local people at the
park and agreed to invite
state and local park officials
to the next meeting to discuss
the matter.
RESOLUTIONS SENT
The Board sent two resolu-
tions of concern to the proper
authorities as the result of
discussions held at Tuesday's
meeting.
The Board protested high
foreign fuel costs which are
driving electricity costs out
of reach. The resolution cal-

Si ETAOIN SHRDLU
by WESLEY Rf. RAMiSYi


The article we printed in this space last
week, written by editor Sam Griffin of the
Post-Searchlight of Bainbridge, Ga., set me to
thinking about several thinks akin to the
ketchup and butter sandwiches he recalled so
deliciously.
I wonder how many of you ever had the
unique experience of eating fried potato and
mustard sandwiches? They went right well
when I was a boy. That was my noon fare when
I went to the cotton field to pluck a few bolls to
earn 50c. I wasn't much of a cotton Dicker. The
grower paid 50c a hundred pounds and it took
me all day to earn 50c. But I could hold my
own eating the fried potato and mustard
sandwiches.
I still like a good sandwich, but a fried
potato and mustard sandwich may riot go down
so good these days.
I remember, too, I saved up 40 Post Bran
Flakes box tops one time to get me a pair of
roller skates. You hardly ever see a kid on a
pair of roller skates any more, much less see
one who wants a pair bad enough to save up 40
cereal box tops. I can't understand it, either.
Roller skating use to be great fun when I was a
kid.
I remember well the day those skates came
in the mail. I put them on and spent the day
learning to skate. By the time the day was
over, I could go all over town and not fall
down. I was a stubborn cuss, even as a kid.
One thing which encouraged roller skating
when I was a kid was the fact that the little
town we lived in had sidewalks over much of
the town. We didn't have any roads fit for
travel, but we had sidewalks. We didn't have
an operating water system, except in the
summer time, when the well didn't dry up due
to the drought, but we had sidewalks. It seems
that in the little oil boom town where we lived
they built the sidewalks first, then ran out of
money or else the boom began to sort of burp.
Anyhow, we had only sidewalks.
I remember, we didn't even have a sewage
system of any sort. Several homes had indoor
bathrooms, but most used them for an extra
closet. All our bathrooms were outside. Some
people had what was called "sanitary" privies.
The Government was in the sewage business
then, too. They sent men wiround and tried to
encourage everyone to put in the "sanitary"
privies rather than the open back variety. They
helped, too. When the boys would turn them
over on Hallowe'en, there was no danger of
stepping in something nobody had any desire to
step in. Those "sanitary" privies were popular
for turning over.
Anyhow, back to fried potato and mustard


sandwiches. I'll bet editor Griffin never went
out into the woods to pick "poke" greens for
eating. Those went well with corn bread, but I
would hate to eat them now. Too, I've heard
Otis Pyle talk about "frying" mullet in water
back in those "good old days". How one can
"fry" a mullet in water, I don't know, but in
those "good old days" if a thing could be done,
someone did it.

While we're on this nostalgia bit, I have,to
report on an article I read the other day which
said people still use a front porch for sitting oh
up in Maine. After reading' the article, I tried to
remember when was the last time I saw
anyone sitting on the front porch. When was the
last time you sat on the front porch? I did it
about three or four weeks ago for about 15
minutes or so and felt strange. Several people
went by in their cars while I was sitting on the
front porch and I went inside before they
arrived at the conclusion that I was stranger
than I really am.
What happened to sitting on the front
porch? The only thing I can figure is that air
conditioning did away with that favorite pass-
time. We still build front porches, of sorts, on
houses, but nobody uses them. We have a
bench on our front porch, but it gets little use.
According to this article I read, everyone
in Northern Maine sits on the front porch of an
evening to take advantage of the cool breeze
and watch the people go by.
It sounds like fun and I think I'll try it,
some more at least until my air conditioffir
is fixed.

Carmen pulled up her skirts last week,
showing her legs, and started for our 4rea. But,
part way here, the lusty lady had a/change of
heart and decided she wanted nothing to do
with us, leaving us strictly alone. Thank you,
Carmen, we appreciate it.

Frenchie and I are alone at home now. The
last bird has flown the nest (sort of) and for the
first time in 26 years, there's only us in the
house now.
The last one has left home to go to school,
but still depends on momma and daddy for that
necessary cash. The transition has left us with
a private bathroom apiece and a half gallon of
milk now lasts nearly a week. The telephone
rings only half as much as it formerly did and
for thd first time in years, I can find all of my
shirts in my closet.
I'm not saying it's a pleasure having all the
kids gone from home. I'm only saying it's
different much different.

Dam thrown across ditch keeps oil from getting into bay


Sylvachem Suffers Oil Spill


6000 Gals.

Bunker C

Dumped
Sylvachem Corporation's
plant here in Port St. Joe
narrowly averted an oil spill
into St. Joseph's Bay Friday
by quick and decisive action
when a truck load of bunker
C oil was spilled out on the
ground while unloading at the
plant. Over 6,000 gallons of
the fuel oil was spilled in the
accident.
The problem was com-
pounded by the heavy rains
being experienced in the area
at the time, according to
plant manager George Wim-
ber,ly. "If the heavy rains
had not been falling, we could
have contained and cleaned
up the oil with no problem",
Wimberly said. "As it was,
the rains caused heavy water
run-off into a ditch which led
to the bay and the oil went
with the water."
The plant management
quickly called for help from a
construction firm working in
the area and threw a dam
across the ditch in which the
oil was draining, just west of
the old city sewage treatment
plant. Then the long arduous
task of collecting the oil
began, with operations going
through Friday, Friday night,
all day Saturday and even
part of the day Sunday.
"We had state people in
here soon after the spill",
Wimberly said 'and we were
able to collect all of the
material to the complete sat-
isfaction of the Department
of Pollution Control and the
Marine Patrol."
The firm used an inert
aggregate to soak up much of
the oil by using bull dozers to
spread the aggregate and
pick up the oil soaked mater-
ial and haul it off for burying.
The oil floating on the rain
water in the drain ditch was
sucked up into tank trucks
and hauled off to the same
burying site.
Wimberly said the cause of
the spill was still under in-
vestigation by plant officials.

:September is the beginning
Sof the fall gardening season.
It's time to do. just about
everything in your Florida
garden. Things' to consider
are seedbed preparation and
planting of a vegetable gar-
den and annual flowers, gen-
eral clean-up of the home
grounds, planting hardy
shrubs and preparation for
overseeding your lawn. Also
keep a watchful eye out for
insects and diseases of lawns
and ornamentals.
If you want a fall garden
for vegetables and flowers,
start preparing a good plant-
ing bed. Locate the plot in an
area which receives full sun
at lest half a day and stay
away from large trees. Tree
roots are strong competitors
for fertilizer and water so
plant your vegetables or an-
nauls in a spot where trees
won't compete. It's a good
idea to amend the seedbed
with colloidal phosphate and
peat. Colloidal phosphate is a
very finely divided clay-like
material which will improve
the properties of our sandy
soils. It helps hold moisture
and fertilizers in the soil. Any
type of organic matter from
peat moss to compost is also
beneficial. Apply 100-200
pounds of colloidal phosphate
and about 100-200 pounds of
organic matter for each 100
square feet of bed and rototill
into the soil to a six inch
depth. Level the plot and
allow it to settle.
Then get ready to plant
seed or small plants which
can be purchased at garden
stores. Hardy annuals, which
will survive cold weather,


you can plant in late Septem-
ber include alyssum, calen-
dula, candytuft, cleome, dian-
thus, gaillardia, gerbers,
babys breath, nasturtium,
pansies, petunias, phlox,
snapdragons, statice, sweet
peas, verbena and violas. The
list of vegetables is equally
long. Try beets, broccoli, cab-
bage, carrot, cauliflower, let-
tuce, onions, radish, spinach,
turnips, etc. These are just a
few of the plants which can
be started now. Your garden
shops will have many more.
Watch your lawn and orna-
mental plants for pests. It's
still warm enough for insects
like scales, white flies, mites,
aphids and caterpillars to be
damaging shrubs. Sod web-
worms and armyworms are
ravaging many lawns and
brown patch disease is a pro-
blem. Watch out for these
problems and start control
measures as soon as you
notice damage.
Don't delay your fall gar-
dening activities. There's a
lot to be done now, and even
more next month.

We-don't

have

forests

to burn


described area submitted by the Coas-
tal and Oceanographic Engineering
Laboratory of the University of Flor-
ida's College of Engineering (herein-
after referred to as the Laboratory)
through James A. Purpura, Professor
of the Department of Civil and Coastal
Engineering.
At the hearings, which were well
attended, the opinions of affected pro-
perty owners and of Interested persons
ram the gamut from establishing the
coastal construction setback line at the
vegetation line to immediately behind
the primary dune to having it establish-
ed as recommended by the Laboratory.
The public hearings showed that
from Ranges 1 through 30 (along the
mainland from the western boundary
east some 30,000 feet) a dune existed
approximately 200 feet landward of the
mean high water line at an elevation of
+10 feet to +12 feet mean sea level.
From Ranges 35 through 80 (state park
property) the dunes were much higher,
ranging from +15 feet mean sea level
to +35 feet mean sea level.
Easterly from Range 81 they gener-
ally decrease in height until Range 126
where the elevation is +12 feet mean
sea level.
From Range 126 to the eastern end of
the county, with minimum exception,
the elevation was less than 10 feet
mean sea level.
It should be noted that from Ranges
110 through 120, around Cape San Bias,
the elevations were extremely low with
a longer, low profile going into the
Gulf.
The Laboratory's report showed that
the shore history indicates that St.
Joseph Spit is migrating at St. Josedh
Point and at Cape San Bias, but most
of the Gulf side of the Spit is eroding;
further, that east from the northern


end of St. Joseph Spit the mainland to
the north and west has undergone
accretion over a period of time.
The Spit, in general, has a line of
dunes facing the Gulf; however, these
dunes show severe scarp erosion. As
pointed out earlier, the topography is
very low north and east of Cepe San
Bias, and the hearings further pointed
out that because of this condition,
flooding from the Gulf and Bay, would
occur as a result of a severe storm or
hurricane. Also, in the areas where the
Spit is migrating and accreting there
also shows a very low topography and
these areas would be subject to over-
topping and flooding in a severe storm
or hurricane.
The hearings and the Laboratory's
report further brought out that the
beaches of Gulf County are virtually
free of destructive development and
further brought out the fact that with
destruction of the dune system, an
acceleration of the Spit erosion pro-
blem is imminent. Destruction of the
dunes will take away the buffer pro-
tection and sand.supply that is neces.
sary during storm conditions.
The Laboratory placed a permanent
monumented baseline along the shore
from the west to the east end of the
county; that monumented stations were
placed approximately 1,000 feet apart
and were monumented in relation to
the State Plane Coordinate System.
Profiles were taken from behind the
dune line, where existing, to a wading
depth. This was done during the
months of July through September
1973.
An automatic tide recorder was
placed in operation at the Mexico
Beach pier and recorded during the file
field survey periods.

a depth of about 9 to 32 feet (about 3000
feet offshore) were finished during the
period of August 14-22, 1973. A total of
54 sounding lines were completed. An
offshore profile was run at every third
monument on the baseline.
The Laboratory's report stated that
while there is little available historic
sounding data of the study area, ero-
sion rates do not always indicate the
short term fluctuations that occur on
the beach. These fluctuations can be
quite large in magnitude over a short
term as a result of certain tide-wave
conditions. A shoreline which may have
an apparent long term trend of stability
can suffer quite severe erosion with
subsequent accretion, then erosion, and
that during these cycles severe damage
may occur.
The Laboratory's repo. t showed that
tide records in this area recorded in
previous study and during the present
study by a tide recorder at Mexico
Beach peier showed that the tides are
chiefly diurnal. Tide tables of the U. S.
Coast and Geodetic Survey show the
mean diurnal tidal range at Port Saint
Joe as 1.4 feet; further, that the most
frequent wind speeds are between 7
and 16 knots.
In the analysis recommending the
location of the coastal construction set-
back line, the Laboratory used the fol-
lowing criteria:
1. A still water level storm tide of 8.2
feet was used for computing wave
uprush. The storm tide level is the
vertical rise in the still water level
near the coast caused by wind stresses
on the water surface. Wave setup is the
superelevation of the water surface
over normal surge elevation due to
onshore mass transportation of the
water by wave action alone. During
Hurricane Audrey, the Laboratory esti-

mated the wave setup to 1.5 feet In the
study-area. This 1.5 feet is included in
the still water level storm tide of 8.2
feet. This 8.2 feet stillwater elevation
wa' based on a predictable storm tide
levdi for a 100 year period, or a storm
tidewhich has,,a 10 per cent probability
for occurring i( the next 10 years.
To compute the wave uprush, the
Laboratory used the composite slope
-method for each of the profiles taken
under storm conditions and added a
wind wave of 6.0 feet in height and 12
second in period. This information was
computerized and the result was how
far landward the uprush would reach.
One property owner owning property
between Ranges 102 and 106, in addition
to other areas, has indicated a desire to
move the proposed setback. line sea-
ward a distance of 75 feet based on
placing of record restrictive covenants
binding itself, its successors and
assigns to certain uses and certain
types of construction in the area men-
tioned. which uses and construction
would not interfere with the vegetation
or dune system and would be of
sufficient elevation to be above the 100
year flood line.
These restrictions would apply to all
construction taking place between the
Laboratory's recommended line and a
line 75 feet seaward between Ranges
102 and 106. (A copy of these restric-
tions are attached hereto and labeled
Exhibit 'A')
FINDINGS
After a personal inspection of the
entire beach area of Gulf County and
from the evidence at the public hear
ings, and from the numerous letters
received and the land use plan, as
mentioned above, from the owner of
property between Ranges 102 and 106, I
find that for the protection of upland

properties and forthe control of beach
erosion along the Gulf coast, It Is
necessary that a setback line be esta- /
blished as follows:
1. That the proposed coastal
struction setback line-as recommend..
by the Laboratory be approved with ti
exception of that area between Rang
102 and 106.
2. That the coastal construction se,
back line between Ranges 102 and 106 b
moved seaward as set forth above ande
.the restrictive covenants mentioned
above be filed of record.
3. That part of Gulf County lying
between Ranges 159 and the eastern
county line faces Indian Pass and,
therefore is exempt from the provisions
of Section 161.053, Florida Statutes.
4. That in recommending the setback
line, the Laboratory considered, among
other things mentioned in this report,
the measured topographic factors, dune
elevations, foreshore slopes, offshore
slopes, adjacent profiles, upland deve-
lopment and vegetation-bluff lines and
erosion trends.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that:
1. A coastal construction setback line
be established in Gulf County in
accordance with findings above.
2. That every consideration be given
to property owners for a variance upon
a showing that the proposed construc-
tion will not contribute to beach erosion
or be detrimental to their own or to
adjoining or adjacent properties; in the
event existing structures are destroyed
by fire or acts of God; and, in the tase
of,new construction.
Respectfully submitted this 4th day of
September, 1974;

The Board of County Com-
missioners met on August 27
in regular session with the
Chairman S. C. Player, Wal-
ter Graham, T. D. (Doc)
Whitfield and Lamar Davis
present. Also present were
Deputy Sheriff Tom Berlin-
ger, Clerk George Y. Core,
Finance Officer Jerry Gates,
Mosquito Control Superinten-
dent Emmette Daniell, Road.
Superintendent Lloyd Whit-
field and Attorney Fred Wit-
ten.
The meeting came to order
at 7:30 p.m. The Clerk offer-
ed a prayer and led in the
pledge of allegiance.
The minutes from the
meeting of August 13, 1974,
were read, approved and
adopted.
Miss Jane Patton, Regional
Librarian, presented to the
Board a summary of the new
services and facilities of the
Gulf County libraries. In ad-
dition, she requested the
Board reconsider the $20,000
allocated to the libraries by
the Board at its budget hear-
ings and, instead, allocate
$24,326 as originally request-
ed. She added the big in-
crease, percentage-wise, was
needed since Gulf County had
not raised its allocation in
two to three years and every-
thing had increased in price.
The Board explained that
since all budgets had been
adopted property taxes would
have to be increased, or other
items in the budget cut, in
order to meet this increase.
The Board agreed to consider
this budget increase once the
total tax assessment is com-
pleted by the Tax Assessor.
Frances T. Kirkland told
the Board he had presented a
list of materials needed for
shelter management to the
Civil Defense Director at
least six months ago and he
urged the Board to assist the
Director in obtaining this
needed equipment.
Mrs. Dorothy Myers report-
ed that a group of citizens at
Highland View had appointed
two members to serve on the
Highland View Water District
and the names were supposed
to have been submitted to the
Board. The Board, unaware
of this action, agreed to take
the names of Rita Brown and
Jackie Ragans under consi-
deration pending investiga-
tion of the district's charter
by the Board's attorney.
Bob Smith asked the Board
to help in obtaining a 1l'2 mile
easement for electrical ser-
vice to four camps on the
Brothers River. Comm. Whit-
field suggested he and Mr.
Smith meet with the property
owners to obtain this ease-
ment. In addition, the Chair-
man directed the Clerk to
write a letter to the owners of
M K Ranches stressing the
need for electrical service in
this area.
The Board received the fol-
lowing employment applica-
tions, Danny Kirkland (in
person), Bobby W. Hitchcock.
Margie L. Paukstis, Larry
Lewis, Joel Adams, Rhonda
Gainous and Hartford Lamar
Causey.
Dave Maddox reported to
the Board on a conversation
with a park ranger and the
subsequent study of regula-
tions adopted after conver-
sion of St. Joseph's Peninsula
into a wilderness preserve.
He reported that in order to
enter the preserve one must
register, upon entering. and
departing, with the park
superintendent. In addition,
they will not allow any more
than 10 individual persons, or
one group of 20 persons per
day, on the 1600 acres. He
stressed that preservation
can surely occur without such
stringent regulations.
Emmett Daniell then report-
ed that the County had been
spraying this area for dog
flies for 18 years, but had
been stopped on the last
attempt to spray. The Board,
unaware of these rules, felt
they could be relaxed with
the help of Representative
Rish.
Comm. Graham said he
was alarmed at the erosion of
human rights in this County
and he moved the Board's
attorney prepare a resolution
to send to the Park Service
asking for a reorganization of
these rules so that the people
can use this area, that the
County be allowed to spray
for dog flies in this area at
their will, and, in addition,
that this Board be notified
before any rules are passed


effecting any property in this

County.
Commissioner Whitfield se-
conded the motion and it pas-
sed unanimously.
The Clerk reported that the
beach voting precinct would
be located on the corner of
Highway 98 and Magellan in
St. Joe Beach. Comm. Davis
then reported that Precinct
Two voting station would be
in the red barn on Louie Sir-
mons property adjacent to
the Wewahitchka Bank. The
Road Superintendent was in-
structed to erect signs at
these two locations to fami-
liarize the public with the
new voting stations.
The Clerk reminded the
Board of the next regular
County Commission meeting
being held at 9:00 A.M. Mon-
day, September 9, one day
earlier than usual. In addi-
tion, there will be an organ-
izational meeting of the Tax
Adjustment Board at 4:30

1974.
The Clerk then presented
quit-claim deeds for ease-
ments on county streets from
the following people:
1. Charley Gaskin and wife
Rosselle Gaskin; Alfred Whit-
field and Angeline Whitfield,
street in Weweahitchka.
2. Charles Cleckley and
wife Betty Cleckley; C. M.
Parker; City Commissioners
of Wewahitchka, street in

3. C. M. Parker and wife

conded the motion and it
passed unanimously.
The Clerk reported that
Pete Comforter had received
notice his temporary ambu-
lance. license will expire
August 31, 1974.
Comm. Player reported
that H. L. Anderson had been
elected squad leader for the
ambulance service and ser-
vice is expected to begin.
August 31, 1974. Mr. Ander-
son reported that they will
need certain supplies and
incur other expenses that will
need to be paid by the Board.
The Board authorized Mr.
Anderson to be in charge of
these expenditures, sign all
invoices for payment, and
present these invoices to the
Board for payment.
The Clerk reported that
since ordering 10' of fill hose
5" in diameter in August the
price had increased from the
bid price of April by $132.70.
The Board authorized the
purchase at the new price.
The Board received notice
that by January 1, 1975, local
governments shall adopt an
interim building code which
covers all types of construc-
tion. There are seven choices
available. The Board agreed
to study this matter further.
The Clerk reported that
several people have com-
plained about the ballot for
the September 10 election,
now on exhibit in several
places. He said that for the
public's general information.
the ballot was not prepared
by anyone in this County as
the names were sent to the
Secretary of State by the
Clerk for the Board of County
Commissioners. The ballot
was then prepared by the


American Voting Machine
Company and approved by
the Secretary of State.
Comm. Davis asked the
Road Superintendent when
junk cars in Wewahitchka
could be picked up and was
notified that the landfill site
has no room for them at the
present time.
Upon question by Comm.
Davis, about a new landfill
site at Wewahitchka, the
Mosquito Control Supeririten-
dent reported that Paul
Grooms is writing a letter to
St. Joe Paper Company on
behalf of the Woodlands Divi-
sion, concurring with the
selection of the site.
Comm. Davis reported that
Mr. Kendrick in Wewahitch-
ka is requesting a ditch ad-
joining his property be back-
filled. Comm. Whitfield

led. Comm. Davis seconded
the motion and it passed
unanimously.
Comm. Davis reported that
he doesn't believe the truck
now in use by O'Neal McDan-
iel to haul the voting mac-
hines will hold up for the
present election. Comm. Gra-
ham moved the Board adver-
tise for bids to be opened on
September 9, 1974 at 9:00
A.M. on one 1974, short-wheel
base, standard pick-up truck,
as per specifications on file in
the Clerk's Office. Comm.
Whitfield seconded the
motion and it passed unani-
mously. In addition, the
Board directed the Road
Superintendent to furnish a
truck for use in transporting
the voting machines, until the
new vehicle arrives.
Comm. Davis reported that
the Willis Landing launching
ramp needs a load of sand to
be mixed with the clay. The
Road Superintendent agreed
to attend to this matter as
soon as the rain slacks up.
Comm. Graham reported
that the courthouse in Wewa-
hitchka needs more mainte-

agreed.

ing on beautification of Holly

assist in paving the streets in
the cemetery. The Board
agreed to work with the City
on this project.

the Board inquire about fur-
nishing insurance for the vol-

Report Changes In Earnings


Students 18-22 getting social
security checks should report
changes in their earnings,


school enrollment and mari-
tajMliatps, to social security,
S according o Dav,-iP.9eRpIbin-
son, Social Security Field Re--
presentative for Gulf County.
Over 650,000 students 18
and over get monthly social
- security payments because a
parent gets disability or re-
tirement benefits or has died.
Students can continue to get
payments to age 22-or
slightly beyond for under-
graduates-as long as they
remain full-time students and
unmarried.
"Students getting checks
should notify social security
immediately if they marry,
leave school, or start attend-
ing on a part-time basis so
we can stop their monthly
Payments as required by
law," Robinson said.
Changes in total yearly


earnings from part-time or
temporary jobs can also af-
fect social security payments
to students.
"If you're a student getting
payments and know your
earnings for 1974 will, be over
$2,400, you should report that
to social security," he said.
"Otherwise, you might get
benefits you'll have to pay
back later."
Social security payments
are reduced by $1 for every
$2 earned over $2,400 in a
year. No matter how much
they earn for the year, people
can get their full social' secur-
ity payment for any month in
which they neither earn $20
nor do substantial work 1i

to another should also be re-
ported to social security by

ity payments, according to
Robinson.
"If you have questions
about social security pay-


ments to students 18 an(;
over, you can get answers b
writing, visiting or calling;
any social security office,
he said.
The Panama City social
security office is located t: -
