THIRTY-EIGHTH YEAR, NUMBER 18

PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA' THURSDAY, JANUARY 2, 1975


1974 Had ALittle Something for Most Everybody


The past year has had something for
everybody. There has been tragedy, good
news, frustration, nostalgia, changes for the
better and worse, adventure and intrigue.
Tragedy'reared its head last year as six
persons were killed on the highways. Five of
the six were 19 years of age and younger.
While the record wasn't any worse than the,
year before, it wasn't any better, either,
since six were killed on the highways the
year before.
In contrast, the city of Port St. Joe
received a commendation from the Florida
Highway Patrol.for having no traffic fatali-
ties within the City during the fiscal year
1972-73.
'Tragedy also reared its: head during the
year with one young boy killed in a hunting
accident, and, another wounded. Another
young boy was wounded seriously in a gun
accident as. the year faded out.
So, tragedy was present, in these and.
many other instances.
Probably the biggest "attention getter"
was the program of property re-assessment
which was forced upon the county during
the year by the state Revenue Department.
Not only did-the re-assessment cause
mixed emotions: and complaints by the
dozens, but it also spawned important
related stories, such-as a sudden attention to
the money being spent .by county political
subdivisions.
Tax Assessor Samuel A. Patrick said the
assessment program had increased the total,'
value of taxable property in the county by 33
percent. Some were raising sand. because
they claimed their assessments jumped as
high as 300 percent in some instances
The re-assessment program made the,
Various taxing bodies late in compiling their
budgets and as the year ended, all were
virtually broke, with little to no cash on


hand with which to pay bills:. A9sthe year
ended, the tax bills were on their way to
completion for mailing during early Jan-
uary. The School Board had to resort to
borrowing to pay its December bills, due to
the fact it had received: no county tax,
money.
LAND CHANGES
Another significant event during the
past year was the unusual news (for Gulf
County) that a person couldn't count on
doing what he pleased with his property
anymore-especially if it was located on the
seashore.
The State of Florida took virtually the
entire year to impose setback lines on all
Gulf front property, setting .a line beyond
which nothing could be built without special
state permission and under state regula-
tions.
The State Department of Natural Re-
sources went through the process of public
hearings in Gulf County and Tallahassee to
see if their plans met with objections. The
Sobjections.were legion and local landowners
Save voluminous reasons why the lines as
.outlined shouldn't be applied. As the year
ended, however, the lines were established
as the state had planned.
Other land owners were forewarned that
',the state was in the process of applying
some sort of land use plan on each county in
the state and the first overtures were made
to Gulf County to make its own, before the
state stepped in. A planning commission
was formed of local people in February and
:a plan presented to the County Commission
for their study and approval.
S :WASTE DISPOSAL
Another drastic change in the.way of
doing things was introduced in, the past
year, when the State of Florida said after
today, the county could operate its land fill"
garbage disposal operations only by special
permission. The county has been notified


that by 1977 it must have a solid waste
disposal system in operation which doesn't
put pollutants in the ground water system..
The County has been told by the State of
Florida that none of its present land fill
operations can qualify under new, state
regulations.
BIG LAND SALES
Expectations of things to come con-
tinued to tantalize citizens of the county, as'
four big land sales were recorded during the
past year. The largest of these sales was the
24,000 acre "Mitchell tract" in the north end
of the county. Other land sales of lesser size
were reported in the north end of the county
and in the Indian Pass area.
Continued land speculation leaves an air
of anticipation in the county as to just what
will be the outcome of the increasing prices
being asked and paid!for acreage. Rumors
of development on a,'large scale are tied to
each sale.
IMPROVEMENTS PLANNED
In the City of Port St Joe, the past year
saw a beginning by the City Commission to
a program of extensive improvements to the
water and sewer systems. While the City
just this past year got its $9.5 million waste
water treatment plant into operation, it is
now diverting its attention to vast improve-
ments in the sewage collection 'system and
the water treatment and distribution sys-
'tem. The engineering .firm of Smith and
Gillespie of Jacksonville has been employed
to survey the City and recommend needs to
both systems. .
Plans now are to double the size of the
water treatment plant, increase' the raw
water supply and upgrade the pipe distribu-
tion :system.
Sewage work will include' a visual
inspection of every sewer main:in the city,
and replacing or repairing any main which
is found to be sub-standard. Also included in


the program are a new system of lhtt
stations throughout the city to replace the
system which'has been in operation for up to
40 years.
The City has applied for financing to the
Farmers Home Administration and has been
told the city is too rich on the one hand to
-receive a grant and not rich enough on the
other hand to borrow the amount of money
they want to do the job properly.
AMBULANCE SERVICE
The year of 1974 saw the County get into
the ambulance service business. The state
has come out with new regulations govern-
ing ambulance service- attendants and
vehicles which, in effect. forced the
funeral homes out of the business.
In Gulf County's case, a volunteer
service was set up and the first trained
volunteers took over the service on Labor
Day week end.,
Early in the new year, the volunteers
will be receiving training as Emergency
Medical Technicians, which is required by
the State of Florida.
ELECTIONS
Election of public servants occupied the
attention of Gulf Countians during the late
summer. Their attention was so occupied by
the matter that they .sent all of the
incumbents except two to the showers when
they cast their ballots in September and
October.
In state-wide balloting, the County voted
a straight Democratic ticket.
HIGHLAND VIEW BRIDGE
The Highland View bridge and its erratic
behaviour kept cropping up in the news
again last year. Petitions and personal visits
were made to the State Department of
Transportation and the Governor's office for
relief. As a result two bids were let to make
repairs and one has been implemented as
the year ended. The other is yet to be
started


RECREATION
Recreation for the people of the county,
young and old, took the attention of city,
county and school governing bodies during
the year and an agreement was ironed out
to go into a joint recreation venture, hiring a
director with the beginning of the new
budget year. Since tax collections were late,
the program has never gotten off the ground
as the year ended, but it will probably get
the attention of all governing agencies as
taxes begin to roll in.
In the area of recreation, the past year
also saw the opening of the Sunland
Recreation Center on St. Joseph's Peninsula
with the first cottage opened to visitors in
September. Representative William 'J. Rish
was successful in getting more appropria-
tions from the Florida Legislature to con-
struct more phases of the master plan for
the facility.
Too, the recreational outlook in the
county was improved with the draining of
the Dead Lakes in Ndrth Gulf County to kill
water weeds which had infested the. lakes. A
system of drainage locks were installed to
allow the Lakes to be drained periodically to
keep the weeds under control which is
believed'will improve the sports fishing in
the popular lakes.
OUTLOOK FOR THE YEAR AHEAD.
If the year 1974 taught the people of Gulf
County anything, it taught them they would
have to be more vigilant in the future for the
good of their own future. Government
concern with proper growth, pollution con-
trol, most effective use of lands available:
for development, and rising costs of goverh-
ment services began to nudge the private
land owner and tax payer. Property owners
in the County had a minor jolt or two of
what can happen if they don't keep aware of
what is happening and should make 1975 a
year of looking over the shoulder of govern-
ment as never before.

Tax Collector Harland 0. Pridgeon said
Tuesday tax rolls are now open in his office

Break In

Ha rdwa re

Burglary
Gulf County Sheriff's Dept.
received a break Monday in
the burglary against St. Joe
Hardware Company 10 days
ago according to Deputy Tom
Berlinger.
Berlinger said one man
was in custody in Brewton,
Alabama and two more were
scheduled to be arrested
Tuesday in the case which
saw several hand guns and
two stereo speakers stolen
from the local hardware.
Berlinger said Chief of Po-
lice Holt of Brewton called
the Sheriff's office Monday
asking if such a crime had
occurred. He had arrested
one man in possession of one
of the stolen guns and re-
covered three others from a
creek on the tip on a man in
Brewton. Berlinger said the
informer notified the police of
the illegal contraband when
one of the gang of three
bragged about their haul in
his presence. Chief Holt pick-
ed up one of the men,, who
informed on the other two
and. told police where. the
guns had been dumped into a
creek. Three of the guns were
recovered with magnets.
Deputy Berlinger said war-
rants were to be secured
Tuesday for the man in cus-
tody and the two remaining
free. One of the suspects is in
Fort Walton Beach. Okaloosa
County authorities will be
asked to make the arrest.
Sheriff's Deputies left for
Brewton yesterday with war-
rants for the arrest of two
men there and to attempt to
get them to waive extradi-
tion.
No names of the suspects
were released by the Sheriffs
Department pending the ser-
vice of the warrants.


the holiday period by local
police.
Monday morning, it was
discovered that someone had
:broken into the library of the
1Port St. Joe Elementary
school.
According to City Patrol-
man Howard Rogers, the cus-
todian of the building had
discovered a window broken
in a back door last. week.
Since the door was closed,
still, he merely replaced the
window and went about his
business. Monday, his busi-
ness took him to the library
area, where the door had
been taken off the hinges.
Police were called and an
investigation made, where it
was discovered a sound sys-
tem was missing. Patrolman
Rogers said nothing else in
the room was missing or
disturbed.
Sheriff's Deputy Tom Ber-
linger said that during the
holidays, a thief entered
through a rear window to one
of the units at Gulf Sands
Motel and took a new com-
bination color TV and radio.
Berlinger said that apparent-
ly the thief merely opened
the front door from the inside
and left the premises with his
new color TV as a Christmas
present.

LonTrolling inTlaTIon


Columnist Alice Widener hit the
nail on the head in a column last
week when she wrote that "The
Government can't prevent it (infla-
tion and recession). The most it
ever could do without ruining our
,-currency was to fulfill its rightful
function which is to take care of
:those who simply cannot take care
of themselves, the crippled, blind,
mentally ill and the aged infirm."
Miss Widener was saying in her
column that the powers that be in
Washington are just breaking their
heads over how to control inflation.
"They don't need to", she said,
"The free market is already taking
care of it. Soon there will be an
unwanted glut of merchandise and
fantastically cheap bargains avail-
able."
The cloumnist went on to say,
"The more money the Government
spends, the less the dollar will buy.,
Soaking the rich even if all their
wealth were confiscated would-
n't provide 1-1000th of what would
be required for our government to
support 20,000,000 families on wel-

Miss Widener; has the same
opinion as most of us. She feels the
Government is helpless in the face
of anything so bfi as recession or
inflation when supply and demand
is the deciding factor in both cases.
Planned government deficits of
king-size proportions which are
being predicted for next year to
"manage" the economy will be
only a waste of money and re-
sources in an age when the watch-
word is to consege our resources.
We hope, th New Year will
bring a sensible approach to our
fiscal needs. Where the government
can be effective in these matters if
they wish to do something, is to use
a little of our weight in the world in
managing the price of our imports
such as sugar, coffee, and of
course, oil. Do without, if necessary
to maintain a decent price on these
products. The law of supply and
demand will take care of these
areas too. They're no good to the
producers if nobody will buy. You
can bet the price will come down
.then.

Farmers.

to Play

Big Part
By: Doyle Conner,
Commissioner of Agriculture
American agriculture will
play a major role in the
easing of inflation in this new
year. Farmers have demon-
strated that they will do their
part in increasing production
to meet demand, and this is
the best way to ease the food
cost spiral.
America's farmers just
missed producing record
crops in 1974, and will be
back again this year produc-
ing all they can, if the wea-
ther is normal and not a
repeat of 1974. High prices
last year stimulated the
planting of 30 million acres of
crops more than the previous
year. Bad weather hampered
plans for larger plantings.
The-short feed crop last
year put U. S. dairymen and
other livestock producers in a
terrible squeeze, with feed
prices rising much faster
than prices for milk, meat
and eggs. Producers are los-
ing money and having to cut
production. As.aj.esqlt, short-j
run profit prospects are poor.
For the longer t9rm, those
who can hold out against
rising costs have' a brighter
prospect. Farmers will be
called upon t6 meet the
world's growing appetite for
food and farny',products. The
world's population is still
growing, and more and more
people have enough income
to improve their diets. Pro-
viding the/quality and variety
of food that most people want
is going to present chal-
lenges.
Agricultural exports are
vital to our balance of trade.
Exports have zoomed from $6
billion ten years ago to more
than $21 billion last year, and
the U. S. has become depen-
dent on agriculture to
balance the trade picture.
America's farmers have a
growing market opportunity
overseas in the years ahead.
As we head into a new
year, I am confident that
American agriculture will
play a major role in improv-
ing our level of living. I am
sure farmers and others in
agribusiness will provide still
more production with still
greater efficiency, as they
have been doing for so many
years.

ETAOIN SHRDLU
by WESLEY R. RAMSEY


I'm still full!
Christmas always puts me in the position of
trying to at least sample everything there is
good to eat, and I just can't do it. This year
there were chocolate, date nut, fruit, red velvet
and pound cakes; pecan, mince and pumpkin
pies; smoked fresh hams and turkey and all
the rest of the good food which normally
compliment such delectible viands and I just
couldn't do justice to all of it. I tried though.
With a mighty effort, I did my part. The
blackeye peas and hog jowl will taste mighty
good Wednesday, after a week of doing away
with the Christmas goodies.
I got everything I wanted for Christmas,
including three days off. Three days off in the
middle of a week is something I don't normally
have. In this business, every minute of every
day is filled from daylight to after dark with
something which needed doing yesterday, and
three days* with nothing to do is, indeed a
luxury:; .
A .holiday messes you up. Friday was
Monday to me, but the regular Monday chores
weren't there to do.
I'm already looking forward to next Christ-
mas when I can get my regular schedule
messed up again.

The holidays weren't all good news and
lightheartedness, however. We were notified
during the week that the Times-Union was no
longer going to come to Port St. Joe after the
first of the year. The Jacksonville paper
announced it was cutting off all its distribution
west of Tallahassee.
For 22 years, I have spent nearly an hour
each morning poring over the pages of the
Times-Union, seeing what:is going on over the
state as well as the nation and the world.
Something is going to be missing each morning
now. To cap it all off, how are we going to keep
up with Buzz Sawyer and Snuffy Smith?
We can understand it, though. Rising costs
of newsprint doesn't even allow the T-U to
recover the price of the paper which goes into
each issue with its subscription price and the
price of transportation is getting prohibitive.
We can understand their predicament, but


Other Editors Are Saying:


pendence on costly oil im-
ports.
Totally ignored in this re-
commendation is the immed-
iate inflationary effect a tax
hike would have on virtually
every product and service in
this country. Business would
immediately pass on the tax
increase to consumers. The
price of food would soar
again because the farmer,
the middleman, the retailer
would be socked with higher
costs.
Then, the Committee comes
up with a proposal with a
federal income tax reduction
which would give an extra
$300 in spending power to a


family of four earning $10,000
a year. Incomes taxes would
be eliminated altogether for
families making under $6,773.
Regardless of what excuses
may be given for a tax cut,
the purpose is economic
pump priming, pure and
simple. Instead of offsetting
the loss of buying power
caused by inflation, the tax
cut would fuel more inflation
by giving people more money
to spend.
Only a couple of months
ago President Ford was pro-
posing a tax increase as one
way government could deal
with inflation. He didn't get
far with that and is said to be


hope they can see their way clear to start
sending our morning paper back again in the
near future.

Sidney has come to live at our house.
Sidney is a small Poodle about the size of a
half grown rabbit, who thinks he is half the size
of a Great Dane. When he came to our house to
live, he was a ball of fur which measured about
the same dimensions in either direction. He
looked like a ball rolling across the floor when
he would run and you could find his head only
by looking to see which end came to the dinner
plate to eat.
Since coming to our house, Sidney has had
his first hair cut to make him look like a
Poodle rather than a furry house slipper. When
he first came home, he was embarrassed at
having so much of his covering removed. He
hid his face and wouldn't look his people in the
Face. That didn't.last long.,however. He began
to take notice of the fuss which was made over
the "cute little puppy", and the face came out
into the open, the tail went up, and the head
was held at a regal angle as he pranced across
the floor of "his" house.
Sidney is just four months old, but he has
learned that a throw rug makes a snug place to
curl up in for a nap, a sock is for dragging and
a shoe for chewing. He has learned that if he
stands up and dances on his hind legs, he can
expect a morsel of meat at the dinner table and
he puts on his performance regularly.
Sidney tries to lead Pierre, the full size
Poodle by the leash. He grabs on to the end of
the leash and digs in with all four feet. Pierre,
of course, just keeps on going, and Sidney lays
down for more traction, still holding fast to the
leash. Pierre still keeps going and Sidney keeps
on "leading".
Sidney has been at our house a little more
than three weeks now and he just about has his
people trained the way he wants them. He
thinks this will be a fine place to live from now
on.
He has a habit of nipping at my stocking
toes when 'I kick my shoes off at night to let
my feet laugh a while; a habit which may get
his place of living changed if he doesn't at least
bite a little easier.


backing away from that ap-
proach.
Strong efforts are being
directed at the President and
his people to convince them
the federal government ought
to be directing its efforts at
staving off a recession. There
is talk that inflation already
is beginning to decline, but
the evidence isn't very re-
assuring.
Big labor and demagogic
politicians want to fight a
recession. There is no glory
to be gained from inflation
measures because that
means gearing down exces-
sive governmental spending
and taking pay cuts. Our
prediction is that Washington
will battle a recession (real
or imagined) and watch in-


flation go higher and higher.
We are not sure anybody
really wants to fight inflation.
To do so requires austerity,
some recession, perhaps real
hard times for some people.
The American people can't
rely on government to bring
them out of this economic
mess. Government is likely to
make it much worse, yet.we
keep hearing people ask why
the President and Congress
don't do something.
What this country needs is
some sort of extra-sensible
Moses to lead it out of our
bewilderment. It does no
good to look for him to arise
in Washington where contra-
diction and confusion rule
amid politics as usual.

Most Plant Problems


Stem from Light, Water


SBy: Pamela A. Marshall
Extension Horticulture Writer
University of Florida
If you have just received
some foliage plants or al-
ready have a few that are not
in .excellent condition you
may be interested in how to
properly care for them. Most
maintenance problems are
related to light and water.
This week I will discuss light
requirements and next week
I will reserve for a discussion
on watering.
L' Light is important in photo-
r: jsynthbsis,, the.' chemical pro-'
cess by which plants manu-
facture their food. Generally,


the 'brighter the light the
more food is produced. How-
.ever most foliage plants are
native to rain forests and
cannot withstand full sun-
light. This does not mean
they prefer a dark corner.
Few plants can stand light
intensities lower than 100
foot-candles or can be placed
more than'eight feet from a
window without added light.
Cast-iron plant, Chinese ever-
green, Aglanoema, Snake
plant, English ivy and jade
'plant ire a' few plants that
cnh stand low light intensi-
ties.

pine, croton, coffee, African
violet and Ti plant require
light intensities over 200 foot-
candles or should be placed
within four feet of a large
south, east, or west facing
window. Most plants will
grow in average, well lighted
areas that have from 100 to
200 foot-candles of light or in
areas from four to eight feet
from a well lighted window.
Begonias, differbanchia, dra-
caena, maranta, rubber
plant, philodendron, pepe-
romia, pothos, Christmas
cactus, and nepthytis are a
few of the plants.that prefer
this light range.

Artificial lighting can be
used to increase light inten-
sity and to highlight plants.
Either incandescent or fluor-
escent lights may be used to
supplement natural light but
they must be used together if
there is no natural lighting.
Certain commercial specialty
lights may be used instead of
the combination. A combina-
ation of incandescent and
fluorescent lights is needed
so that the plant will receive
the proper combination of red
and blue wavelengths of
light.
Light duration is also im-
portant. When plants are
grown in low light areas they
should be lighted longer. This
is because the amount of food
produced depends on both the
amount of light and the
length of time a plant re-
ceives this amount. The total
amount of light reaching the
plant should be over 200 foot-
candles for longer than 12
hours daily to keep the plant
'growing and in good condi-
tion over long periods of
time.
The amount of light a plant
receives is important and will
greatly effect growth, be sure
your plant receives enough of
the right kind of light.

Chaplain of Bourbon St.

Coming for Celebration


Rev. Bob Harringtod, the
famed "Chaplain of Bourbon
Street," will be among the
many celebrated personali-
ties who will participate in
the June 6-14 activities spon-
sored by the Gulf County
Golden Anniversary Commis-
sion.
'The colorful minister, who
gained worldwide attention
'for carrying the Gospel into
the brothels and bars of'New
Orleans, will lend an excit-
ing spiritual tone to the
events marking the 50th year
of Gulf County's existence.
Harrington, whose trade-
marks are a red Bible, red
necktie and red socks signi-
fying the blood of Christ,
calls himself a 'cheerleader
for God," and his crusades
have'been carried to all parts
of the nation.
Boasting a congregation of
approximately 11 million via
television each Sunday morn-
ing, the self-proclaimed "pro-
phet of God" has been boldly
critical of the moral decay in
government, as well as in
other walks of human life.
Harrington, who travels in
a mobile, home bus, may in-
clude appearances at area
churches during his visit.

"Start the first holiday of

It takes only a little effort,"
said Colonel Eldrige Beach,

Florida.
S"A long list of traffic safety
resolutions could be made,

Youth Services Crackirig Down Two College Courses Offered

"
possible remedy for increas- the division's mission will be


'under criticism in mthe past
for being too lenient toward
juvenile law offenders, coun-
selors fbr Florida's Youth
Services Division are crack-
ing down.
Operating under a philoso-
phy that should have pre-
vailed earlier,'they are send-
ing more delinquents to the
division's training schools.
Both police and judges
have been critical of past
operations of the division,
with law enforcement officers
complaining that when a
youthful offender was turned
over to the counselor, quite
often the youth beat the offi-
cer back on the streets.
Now. Guy Revell, chief of
the division's Field Services
,Bureau, said:
"Thy youth is going to get
the mBssage he has a respon-
sibility to us as well as we
have to him. This program is
one which protects the public
Sand keeps young people from
..going into the criminal jus-
tice system last as adults."
Perhaps Revell's key word


is. responsibility, a Iharac -
teristic that is lacking in too
many today, and, without this
sense of duty towards parents
and school officials as repre-
sentatives of authority, it is
unreasonable to assume that
-youths will have regard for
society.
Revell said the division's
staff hopes that a short
period in one of the division's
training schools,. for two
weeks to a month, will stop
budding careers in crime.
In the past, Revell said,
counselors have been reluc-
tant to crack down on first
offenders' guilty of petty
crimes when they felt that a
six-month sentence was not
justified, but that this will not
be the case with a short-term
sentence available as an
option.
This is a reasonable assum-
ption. We are against too
much leniency and permis-
siveness, and we now wel-
come this new program as a


f ---*--- -- -, -- -
ing juvenile crime.
If a sense of responsibility
can be instilled in the youths,


well on its way to accom-
plishment. -The Pensacola

A orda National Sais Account


Unlike so many investments that a year from now may not look as good as

they do today...a Florida National savings account looks better everyday. And

it's an investment that anyone can afford to make, one that prepares you for

emergencies or just for getting the things you want as they come along.

So make a good investment. Start putting a little of each paycheck away in

a Florida National savings account. It pays good interest, it can be drawn from

at any time, and...the older it gets, the better it looks.



Florida First National Bankat Port St.Joe
504 M(onument Avenue Telephone: 227-2551

And don 't-forget. Your savings at Florida National are now insured up to $40,000 by the F.D.I. C. Memb,,.rD.I.c.
