Industry Deep Water Port Fine People Safest Beaches in Florida PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA- THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1974 Gulf Property Values Increased by 33 pct. By now, almost every property owner in Gulf County has received the news of new valuations placed against their pro- perty for taxing purposes. In almost every instance the valuations are up, anywhere from 10 percent to over 100 percent. Tax Assessor Samuel A. Patrick has released figures on the total county valuation which reflects an average increase of nearly one third. After four months of going over all real and personal property in the County, with the aid of the Florida Revenue Department, Patrick's office has releas- ed a total property valuation of $97,358,- 830.00 for the county. A year ago, the property valuations were ,$63,441,312.00, for an increase of $33,917,428.00. The re-valuation of the entire county came at the orders of the State Revenue Department which has stated all proper- ty in the state must be on the tax rolls at 100 percent. Patrick has been under fire from the State of Florida for the past few years to bring Gulf's valuation up to state standards. Each year, he has increased valuations to a degree, but this year was forced to re-value all property in the county to the satisfaction of the Revenue Department. Patrick says he has filed the results of the re-valuation with the Revenue Department, but thus far has received no official approval. Patrick says he expects the work to be approved, however, since the re-valuation was done under the guidance of Department of Revenue agents. YARI)STICK USED Patrick says he expects a good deal of objections during the next two weeks, when property owners can legally object to the valuation placed against, their propertyv4,-tWe.used the same ,ardstick in arriving at the valuation of all property", Patrick said. "The state re- quired a present, day, market- value be placed against all property and im- provements", he pointed out. The assessors used the formula of location, size and improvements to arrive at their valuations.

PP&K is an annual event, co-sponsored by the National Football League and the Ford Dealers of America. First, second and third place winners of local compe- titioh in each of the six age .groups will receive a trophy. Additional trophies will be awarded to the first place winner in the Zone, District, Area, Divisional and National finals. PP&K finals will be held at the National Football Confer- ence championship game on December 29. Finalists will appear on national television and the winners in each age group will receive their trophies from Pete Rozelle, Commissioner of the National Football League.

Patrick said different types of construction called for different formulas at figuring worth. Patrick said his office tried to arrive at the resale value today of property in order to arrive at a valuation for the tax books. OWNERS MAY OBJECT Patrick said property owners may enter objections if they feel their assess- ments are too high. Property owners have two weeks after the receipt of their valuation cards in which to file their objections. Property owners then fill out a petition of objection and are assigned a hearing date before the equalization board. If objects aren't filed within the specified time limit, the objection must wait until next year to be heard. SHOULD LOWER MILEAGE The effect of the re-valuation will be to lower taxing millages in the county. This isn't to say the property owner will pay less tax. Since a mill will bring in 33 percent more tax revenue now than in the past, and since all governing bodies have the authority to levy from eight to ten mills, the tax take can increase. This year, in the Port St. Joe area. the City of Port St. Joe is the only taxing body to increase its tax dollar levy. The City budget shows taxes to be collected will be increased by about $20,000. County and School Board tax levies will be just slightly under last year. All governing bodies in the county have been delayed until receipt of the property valuation. Only the County Commission and the, City of Port St. Joe have set tentative millages The County expects to levy 6.3 nill- cis opposed to 8.7 for last year. The City of Port St. Joe has tentatively set a mill rate of 5.5 for a two mill reduction from last year. Since Patrick is still finding errors in the valuations and since several changes will be made in the equalization hearings the final figure cannot be given yet, by which a firm mill levy can be made. Crowd gathers at Jaycee "tote board" to await election results Tuesday night Voters Turn "Ins" Out 63 pct. Post Their Ballots Gulf County voters did a little better in second pri- mary balloting Tuesday, sending 63 percent of the electorate to the polls. In the process, every incumbent county candidate on the bal- lot was put out of office. In the Senate District election, the Countv voted for the- winner. Put Thomas, -in- th>. stale-wide contests. 'Gulf agreed with the rest of the state, with the exception of the Comptroller race. Gulf wanted to send Fred O. (Bud) Dickinson back to his job. The rest of Florida dis- agreed and over-tuled Gulf by voting for Gerald Lewis of Miami. Herring Leads Kiwanis Bill Moseley, right, out-going president of the Port St. Joe Kiwanis Club turns over records of the club to Ken Herring. who assumed the office of president Tuesday at the regular noon dinner meeting. Dr. Robert E. King, left. is vice president of the club for the coming year. Bob Simon, secretary- treasurer, was not present for the Tuesday meeting. Herring assigned committee responsi- bilities at the meeting and charged the club to seek a goal of 25 members for the coming year. Star Photo COUNTY RACES In the several races, Gulf county elected two new Coun- ty Commissioners and one new School Board member. For County Commissioner in District Two, Otis Davis, Jr.. captured the nomination hv defeating George L. Coo- ,. 1.720 to 1.334. Davis was ii, the liead'er in a three-' man race in the first pri- mary. In the District Four County Commission race. new-comer Everett Owens soundly de- feated veteran Commissioner Walter Graham, polling 1,901 votes to 1.375 for Graham. Graham had served three four-year terms on the Board. Fred Greer edged David Rich, 1,784 to 1,537 in the District 1 School Board con- test. Greer was the eventual winner in a field of five can- didates in the first primary. Probably the race with the most interest was that of Judge of the County Court. Judge Bob Moore, who was appointed to the office by Governor Reubin Askew back in February, was defeated by Dr. David Taunton. Taunton. a school teacher and part- time -minister polled 1,760 votes: Moore, a Port St. Joe attorney before his appoint- ment, was close behind with 1,598 votes. This race could be changed with the counting of the absentee votes, but according to Supervisor of Elections Dessie Lee Parker, most of the absentees were cast in the Wewahitchka area, Taunton's stronghold. SENATE RACE In the District Ten Senate race. Gulf County again went overwhelmingly for Gadsden County's Pat Thomas over Duby Ausley of Tallahassee. Gulf cast 2.126 votes for Thomas and 1.096 for Ausley. Throughout the district. Thomas topped Ausley by nearly 10.000 votes, capturing 37.804 to Ausley's 28.317. Aus- ley carried only his native Leon County.

Bruce Smathers was the favorite in Gulf over Beverly Dozier. Smathers had 1.806 Gulf County votes to add to his total while Ms. Dozier polled only 1,234. Gulf County wanted to send Fred O. "Bud" Dickinson back to office, but the others in the state didn't. Gulf gave Dickinson 1,651 votes and Gerald Lewis 1.473. Including absentee ballots, Gulf County sent 3,608 to the polls to cast their vote. City Tentatively Sets Millage Rate at 5.5 City Clerk Charles Brock told the City Commission Tuesday night that he had received a tentative valuation from Coun- ty Tax Assessor Samuel A. Patrick, but that nothing was firm enough as yet to peg a millage rate to the new budget. Brock said, that as it appears now, the City must levy approximately 5.5 mills to finance the proposed expenditures. The City levied 7.5 mills last year. Brock said final figures should be available by the next meeting date of. Tuesday, October 15, at which time, the Commission may officially set their millage rate. Brock also said the City is levying $20.000 more in taxes this year than they did last year, in financing the general Fund budget of $632.871.00. Attor- ney William J. Rish told the Commission they must advertise the fact they plan to raise taxes and have a public hearing before they can finally do so. WANT WAGE INCREASE . Employees of the Waste Water Teat- ment Plant have filed a letter with the City Commission to grant them a cost of living raise in salary. The Board took the request under advisement and study and will reach a decision on the request, probably at the next, meeting. Several of the plant employees were at the meeting Tuesday. stating they had not had a cost of living increase since starting work. The spokesman said he had began employment at the plant 15 months ago. PARK I)ISCUSSION Several citizens of North Port St. Joe were present Tuesday night, again seek- ing a final answer on their request for a park and playground in this section of Port St. Joe. In their first appearance two weeks ago, the delegation asked that the old Washington Elementary site on Main Street be developed with two tennis courts and playground equipment. Mayor Pate said it was the desire of the Board to secure the old Washington High School site and develop it. "We could have a first-clags recreation complex at this site while the site you're talking about is limited in size", Pate had told the delegation. Tuesday, Clarence Monette, acting as spokesman for the group said, "We would like to have the Washington High School site delevoped too, but attempts have been made for nearly five years to secure permission or title to the site for this purpose with no solution as yet. We need (Continued on Page 2) Mike Murphy Charged In A One Car Accident Saturday Mike Murphy was charged with speed too fast for condi- tions in a single car accident Saturday afternoon, when his car struck a tree in front of the Calvin Todd home on Long Avenue, totally destroy- ing his automobile. According to investigating officers, James Graves and Howard Rogers, it had been raining heavily before the accident and Murphy's vehi- cle hit a large puddle of water in the street, causing him to lose control. Murphy was travelling South at the time of the accident, and completely crossed thq road, striking the tree over on Todd's property. Murphy was taken to Mun- icipal Hospital by Gulf Coun- ty ambulance and treated for head and chest injuries. THIRTY-EIGHTH YEAR, NUMBER 5 15 Cents Per Copy r ~I I ; .. .I L- II II -I I Ir i .

New Property Values Stir Emotions The Bible says that during the last days there shall be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. Anybody who stirred about Gulf County the first part of this week kould have thought the last days had arrived, had he applied only this portion of prophecy to his observations. It wasn't the last days which caused the expressions of emotion here in Gulf County, though. The weeping was caused by the ex- tremely high property valuations mailed out this past week end. The wailing was due to the foreboding of things to come on the tax bill and the gnashing of teeth (along with a smattering of cussing) was at the Tax Assessor. Assessment of property took a dramatic jump, with almost every- one receiving a hike in the taxable value of his property. The State of Floridar said wemust dp this aWd the 'faxAssessor played it cobl; hiding behind the assessments of a team from the State Department of Revenue. We can't blame the Tax Asses- sor for not wanting the stigma hung on him for such huge increases in valuations in one year. From the grumbling we have heard since last Friday, the Assessor didn't escape much by calling, :on the State men to do the re-valuation work. Today, the Assessor's name is mud. To- morrow, it may be "Good Old Sammy" once again. Today, though, it is "Mud". It has been our observation that Sammy Patrick puts up one facade, but actually he is some- thing else. One thing he is, he is knowledgeable about the value of property. There has been grumb- ling in the pastgjout valuations, but usually only minor gripes. The valuation which came out last week caused king size gripes because few felt a fair valuation had been made against their property. It is our opinion that Patrick himself could have done a much better and more equitable job of ...re-valuing: ,the propenty-, of- the,, county' fdr tax purposes. At any. Rate, it was his job to do so. The apparent inequities between the values placed on like pieces of property throughout the county de- serves his concentration and ex- amination before the next tax year, in order to rectify what many claim to be unfair assessments of property. A Blessing?.. We hesitate to say this, but just possibly the new, high assessments of property here in Gulf County can Sbe a blessing in disguise, after the :'claimed inequities have been ironed out. S In the light of the recent pitiful turn-out of voters to select the men who will spend several millions of tax payer's money over the next four years, we can't help but :- believe the increased valuation will Help to create a greater interest in -who is sitting in Tallahassee, the County Court House and the City Hall.

We see the c.pabilll. of taxing to the point of hardship as being a deterrent to some of these pro- grams our local 'governments get into which will be "nice" to have for our people. Our people won't want so many "pork barrel" pro- jects, because they won't want to pay for them. As it is. we can clamor for everything, because, by and large, only a:-hand full of tax payers will pa. any appreciable amount of.the bill If the curreigt trend of high property valuations and high taxing powers continue t:) hold up. we are going to have to insist on better stewardship fron'" the voters, who select the money managers, and the managers themselves, to see that we don't wind up in a financial will destroy the tax bind which payer.

Reagan Rotarian Tom Ford pre- sented a very interesting tap- ed message delivered by Cali- fornia Governor Ronald Rea- gan at a recent meeting of the National Association of Manufacturers to the Port St. Joe Rotary Club last Thurs- day at their regular meeting. Reagan said that corpora- tions were so much responsi- ble for America's standard of living. "The jobs your plants provide give Americans the opportunity to earn the good life", he said. He pointed out that corporations and Labor weren't so far apart in their thinking. "Most of you are words apart and not worlds apart. Words can part us and words can bring us toget- her." Reagan hit hard at the socialistic aspects of Ameri- can life during the course of his talk. As an example of our condition, he told the story of the farm hand who borrowed a ham out of the smoke house of his employer. Reagan said, "The farm hand took the ham to the store and sold it for $27.00. Then he took $20.00 and bought $50.00 worth of food stamps. With the food stamps he purchased $50.00 worth of food, including'the ham. He then took the ham and put in back in the smoke house lnd the farm hand had a su'Wly of groceries and $7.00 in his pocket. The grocer had made money and the farmer had his ham back." Reagan then posed the question, "Who was hurt in this transaction?" Reagan, who is a champion of conservatism and capital- ism pointed out that each year four of ten Ameri- can corporations make no profits. He pointed out that corporate profits were never over 5.5 percent and are now down to an average of 4.3 percent. On taxes, Reagan said tax- es in America now take 43.1 percent of the income of the U.S. people. Guest of the club was Jack Greene of Birmingham.

Green 'N Grassy By Mike Beaudoin Those Arabs might be a bunch of ignorant nomads, roar ing the desert and living off clabbered goat's milk, but there's no denying the fact that they know how to make a civilized Yankee squirm. I wonder what it is about such a civilization that realizes that the Yankee giant, or the Japanese, or the English, or others won't come over, in force, and take over his oil fields in defiance to the Arab's pricing practices. It could be done, you know. But, the Yankees are patient, and spend their time trying to per- suade a reluctant Arab to take less money for something only he has. For a people who have spent their entire history trading, this will probably prove to be an impossible task. The Arabs may just be painting themselves into a corner, though. The free world nations use three fourths of the world's oil production. With the completion of the Alaskan pipeline and the discovery of the off-shore off Indo- china, the gold flow to the Arab nations may just dry up in a very few years. Just about the time the Arabs get used to all that money, it'll stop. President Gerald Ford may only think he got into trouble when he pardoned Nixon or proposed amnesty, if he goes along with the 0Oc increase in gasoline taxes. Some have even proposed increasing gas- oline taxes to the point where gas would cost up to $1.15 per gallon. I can't understand the reasoning of this, unless it is merely to discourage the purchase of gasoline. There's no denying, a $1.15 per gallon price tag would discourage the purchase of gasoline. It might even get so binding some people would start walking instead of driving. That's pretty serious in this mobile age. Anyhow, back to the President. Gerald Ford and the American people have their hands full if they hope to stem inflation in just a short period of time. (The short period of time being, before next Presidential election day.) With the entire world in the throes of inflation, it doesn't seem likely we will shake loose from the cheap money problem in the qA cra CD L L ^av Most business occasionally complete a "self study" but it isn't often that individuals follow suit. As a little quiz on the subject, see how many positive answers you can give to the following ques- tions: 1. When was the last time you gave in during an argu- ment? 2. When did you last buy your spouse a gift, or take home some flowers, for no reason at all? 3. Do you dress as neatly a- round the house now as you did when you were courting? Or do you keep the house neat, but not antispectic? 4. When was the last time very near future. The thing which really needs attention, though is shortages of many items it takes to do business with every day. In our business, for instance: it's almost impossible to buy a paper clip from the wholesaler. File folders are in short supply. Staples are growing as scarce as hen's teeth and many paper items (the more common, less expensive kinds) are almost non-existant. These are small items, but vital to doing business. Also, there's no excuse for their being short. The St. Joe Paper Company is having trouble getting chemicals. They are especially short of salt cake. I had a half-full box of salt at home which had gotten wet and formed into a cake, and I offered it for their use. They said it was the wrong kind of salt. Frenchie and I rode up to Macon Saturday afternoon to attend a silver wedding anniver- sary of a sister, and witnessed all the farmers between Bainbridge and Sylvester harvesting peanuts. There should be no shortage of peanuts this year, with all we saw being hauled to market on a Saturday afternoon and Sunday. SElection is .over npow and,chere in, ulf County, our :local offices have al.!'bee.ifilled. While Florida is getting 'to the position where it is sophisticated enough to have two strong parties, here in Gulf County, we have to contend with only one. So, the primaries elect our public servants. In all likelihood, all of my favorite candi- dates did not get elected. I did cast my vote for those I thought would do the best job. Now, I'll spend the remainder of the terms of office decided upon Tuesday doing what I can to help those in office. If they don't please me, I'll let them know. I think that is the proper relation- ship between public servant and citizen. Citi- zens failing to take an interest in public functions is what leads to politicians becoming convinced of the fact the office they hold is their particular private property rather than a trust of the people. (Continued from Page 1) City Sets New Mill Rate a recreation area for small kids now, and the site we propose is owned by the City and available now for development." The Commission agreed with the need .and are agreed to go ahead with a playground project, but they hesitate to *put the facility on such a small plot of ground. Mayor Pate asked the group to allow the Commission a few days to make a final attempt to reach agreement on the old High School site and if we can't get it, we will go ahead and develop the Main Street site." Mayor Pate went on to say that many residents of the area had contacted him over the past two weeks and urged the playground to be located at the old high school site. Pate pointed out that the City had already built a tennis court and little boys baseball field on the high school site. but hesitated to put more money on property they did not own or have a lease on. Monette stressed that his group did not oppose the development of the high school site. "It was just our thought the area was not available and we need the facilities." Pate cautioned that the City could not develop both sites at this time. "Which- ever site we end up developing; that will be it for the next few hears at least." OTHER BUSINESS In other business, the Commission: -Made a semi-annual payment of $229,090.71 on the Wastewater Treatment Plant bonds. -Agreed to a- request made by the Volunteer Fire Department to add two firemen to the roster. -Accepted a contract from Standard Oil Company to furnish the City with gasoline at a price of 31c per gallon for regular and 341,c per gallon for high test. -Agreed to write four pieces of equip- ment off the inventory which had been scrapped. - - 04% 0' - you turned the TV off and said "let's take a walk" or "let's just talk"? 5.

How long has it been, if ever, since you did some- thing nice for your mother- in-law? 7. Do you ever, anymore, ask his or her advice? And take it if it's worthwhile? 8. How often do you visit a sick friend, write a letter to some distant relatives, or dance with a homely girl or man? You can now add your own test questions if you really want too, and you should. If you don't think an occasional self-study is important, consider this story: A very young.lad walked into the corner grocery and Asked to use the telephone. The grocer overheard just this half of the conversation: "Mr. Jones, I'd like to apply for a job as your yard- boy ..... Oh, you've already got one? . Well is he doing a good job ..... well, thank you very much." The grocer, impressed with the youth's polite and positive approach to job hunting, said as he left: "I'm sorry you didn't get the job." To which the youngster replied: "Oh, I've already got the job, I was just checking up on myself." ETAOIN SHRDLU by WESLEY R. RAMSEY o.

GI Home Loans Must Be Paid Promptly Here is an important notice for you veterans who are pay- ing on a GI Home Loan says W. B. Mackall. Director of the State of Florida's Divi- sion of Veterans Affairs. Your Veterans Administra- tion home loan; contract-::re- quires that each monthly payment must be made by you on-or before the due date. There is no "grace period" for these payments. Your loan contract also pro- vides for a late charge of four per cent of any installment when paid more than fifteen' (15) days after the due date. While the Veterans Admini- stration has not invoked this provision of the loan contract in the past, effective August 1. 1974, installment payment will be assessed a late charge if paid more than fifteen (15) days after the due date. Late charges will appear on monthly billing notices one (1) month following the ac- cural of such charges. Please pay your monthly install- ments on time so that your monthly payments will not be subject to late charges. If you have any questions on the above or any veteran matter contact either your local County Veteran Service Office, any office of the Vet- erans Administration or write Mackall at Post Office Box 1437, St. Petersburg -33731 (including your Veterans Ad- ministration claim number, date of birth or serial num- ber.

They won't be allowed to accept a post-season bowl or even be considered in the ratings voted on by other college coaches. The reason is they were found to be in violation of NCAA recruiting practices. The guilty participants, coaches and players, are no longer with the team, so who is really paying the bill? We are in favor of penalties for those who violate the rules, but are opposed to punishing innocent people and the game itself. The shadow of professionalism will always hang over amateur sports. But some degree of credibility could be restored, if the "powers that be" on the various amateur committees, would adopt a more realistic approach in their disciplinary actions. Incidentally, the team is Oklahoma. ALABAMA MIAMI FLORIDA GEORGIA KENTUCKY MISSISSIPPI STATE TENNESSEE BAYLOR GA. TECH NOTRE DAME OLE MISS AUBURN UNIV.

WITNESS my hand and seal in this Court on September 4, 1974, GEORGE Y. CORE, Clerk of the Circuit Court 4t 9-12 About 40 per cent of mar- ried women now work in jobs covered by social security compared to 30 per cent in 1970, according to David P. Robinson, Social Security, Field Representative for Gulf County. Almost 19 million married women have jobs outside their homes compared to 1214 million in 1960, according to the U. S. Department of Labor. Nine out of 10 jobs are covered by social security. "Working women build social security disability, sur- vivors. retirement, and Medi- care protection for them- selves and their families," Robinson said. "More mar- ried women work now than in 1960 because families are smaller and there are more jobs for women and more day care facilities for children." Monthly social security benefits can be paid to a wife on her work record even if her husband keeps working, and if a woman has worked long enough under social security and retires, becomes disabled, or dies, her children can be paid benefits on her record until they're 18-or until 22 if they're full-time students and remain unmar- ried. Half of all retired women get monthly social security II . retirement payments on their nearest Social Security Of- own record,' according to fice. The Panama City Socia Robinson.

OCTOBER : 1.9)74 PAGE ELEVEN hunters, Don 't Discard Lifepensation SMMM DOT Will Seek Compensation Many boatmen extend their water sports season into the fall and winter hunting sea- sons. As they swap their rods and reels for rifles and shot- guns, they often make the mistake of abandoning life jackets for hunting coats. A boat is a boat, regardless of its use, and federal and state safety equipment require- ments remain the same, year round. Airman Ray C. Bolden, son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward L.

The new life vests are prob- similar in size and basic ending shape to the popular quilted uflage vests many hunters wear un- d only der their coats in nippy wea- ther. Besides the obvious ad- vantage of being able to save your life, they have several properties that often make them a better bargain than the combination of a tradi- tional-styled life vest or pre- server worn over a quilted vest for insulation. S The new life vests use either foam. or a fibrous filler for flotation. These buoyant fillers trap body heat as ef- fectively as many pieces of fabric clothing. As an added bonus. they can serve as built-in recoil pads, if and when you are lucky enough to get off a shot. U Since they are built along the same lines as a vest, they do not restrict the body's A C II E S ': movements and sh4a d""Is'~ .suits in the shouldering of a gun fa ay no problem. The life vests repel rather than absorb water and may keep you a bit less wet in the rain. If they do get wet, such as in a dunking, they dry completely and rapidly. Not so with bulky clothing. Life preservers, by federal law. must be bright orange in color but life vests may be any color, including camou- flage if you can find one. The most popular colors being manufactured, excluding trim. are green. blue and yellow. If you should capsize on a cold day, you will quickly become aware of the most important advantage the new life vests have over ordinary insulating undergarments. Bulky cloth insulation will most likely provide nothing but dead weight to a hunter in the water. This is some- thing he could do without. when wearing heavy boots. carrying a few boxes of shells and recovering from the shock of the cold water. A life vest will keep the hunter afloat.

As more hunters take to the water each year. boating-re- lated hunting accidents follow the rise. The common hunt- ing boat accident is capsizing (about 60 percent of the fata- lities) often due to the heav- ier equipment and clothing that cold weather hunting re- quires. Swamping is also a great problem in hunting from a boat. again due to excessive weight, Boating hunters may have even more reason to observe safety rules than summer boatmen, since the ele- ments-weather and water temperature most notable- are much more adverse.
