a 4 * a THIRTY-EIGHTH YEAR, NUMBER 18 Industry Deep Water Port Fine People Safest Beaches in Florida 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.

During the meeting, a re- port was given on the first County Tax Rolls Are Now Open for Payment Tax Collector Harland 0. Pridgeon said Tuesday tax rolls are now open in his office for payment of taxes by any who care to do so. Pridgeon said it will still be several days before the tax bills are mailed out, but that those wishing to pay taxes now may do so at his office in the Courthouse. Pridgeon said the roll was ratified Monday afternoon with the following millage rates being officially levied: County, 5.130 mills. School Board, 7.521 Mills. City of Port St. Joe, 5.280 Mills. City of Wewahitchka, 4.104 Mills. Tupelo Fire Control District, 0.110 Mills. St. Joseph Fire Control Dist., 0.2000 Mills. Pridgeon said discounts of 4 percent will be allowed during the month of January. One percent discount will be allowed for payment in February with the net tax bill being due in March and becoming delin- quent in April. The bills are expected to be mailed within two weeks. quarter year of ambulance operation. The service has been active for 120 days and has an- swered 45 calls in that period of time, carrying 52 patients for treatment.. The, Port St. Joe unit has travelled 1,631 miles, with crewmen being on call duty 5,760 man hours. The report showed 12 persons had made 90 percent of the * call outs, working an average 460 man hours per person, while on call duty. Mrs.Washington Taken by Death Trudie Mae Washington, 64, died Christmas Eve in the Municipal Hospital. She was a long time resident of Port St. Joe and a member of the First Born Church of the Living God. Survivors include her hus- band, Charlie Washington of Port St. Joe; and a godchild, Carolyn Kalenthia Williams. Funeral services were held Saturday, December 28 at 1:00 p.m. at the First Born Church of the Living God, conducted by Bishop R. B. Thompson. All services were under the direction of Comforter Fun- eral Home. Two cases of breaking and entering were reported in the vicinity of Port St. Joe during 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. School Board Agenda As of January 1, 1975, the Gulf County School Board along with other school dis- tricts and some other govern- mental agencies come under the auspices of the Admini- strative Procedure Act pas- sed in the last legislative session. On provision of that act is to advertise the Board agenda at least seven days prior to the meeting date. Further, the Act states that the agenda must be followed as presented with no devia- tions, additions or deletions.

Port St. Joe Has Florida Christmas Northern visitors were glad they were in the Port St. Joe area for Christmas and its balmy temperatures, while snow blanketed the north. Jesse Turner and'his fam- ily of Coloma, Michigan, were visiting in Port St. Joe Christmas day and donned their bathing suits to enjoy the 83 degree weather (see thermometer in top'left). Be- fore going to the beach, they grabbed a few rays of Flor- ida sunshine while picking a mess of turnip greens in a friend's garden. Star photo EDITORIALS .

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- ind Started for ny Mayhann was learned this week a fund is being establish- to aid in defraying the rmous hospital expenses fare and 10,000,000 unemployed." 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. being incurred in the treat- ment of Tony Mayhann, age 13 of Wewahitchka. Tony was accidentally wounded December 10. His condition remains most criti- cal.

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. Leaders Show Inability When it comes to dealing with the nation's economic problems, our governmental leaders in Washington demonstrate rather forcefully they don't know what they are doing. On the one hand, the Joint Economic Committee of Con- gress recommends a 30-cent tax increase on gasoline as a means of decreasing our de- 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. -Tallahassee Democrat Fu To It that edLt ' no] -- o.

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.

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. THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla.

"Start the first holiday of the New Year with a resolu- tion to put safety first when behind the wheel or on foot, It takes only a little effort," said Colonel Eldrige Beach, director of the Patrol. The 30-hour holiday period begins at 6:00 p.m., Tuesday, December 31, 1974, and ends at midnight, Wednesday, January 1, 1975. During the 102-hour period in 1973, 23 fatalities were recorded in Florida. S"A long list of traffic safety resolutions could be made, but the most important one for motorists to make wotild be to resolve to improve their knowledge of road rules and practice them every day. of the coming new year," con- cluded Colonel Beach.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 2, 1975 PAGE NINE 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 Journal Gulf Coast Community Col- lege will offer three regular college courses in Gulf Coun- ty for the spring semester, it was announced last week, with two of the offerings in Port St. Joe and one in Wewahitchka.
