Group of Parents Blast Lack of I





Discipline In PSJ High School "E:-":


Discipline-principally the
lack of it-was the concern of
about a dozen parents at the
Gulf County School Board,
meeting 'Tuesday afternoon.
The parents seemed to be
more ,concerned about chil-
dren not being disciplined
sternly and severely, enough
rather than complaining of
discipline which. was too
harsh:
The discipline problem
seemed to be centered in
Port St. Joe High School.
where parents ang teachers
alike clailhed students were
allowed to roam the halls and
grounds at all hours of. the
day and many seemed never
to be in class where they
should be.
.Board member Kenneth
Whitfield stated he knew of
the, discipline problem and
was concerned. "Some. tea-
chers lead a hairy life"',
Whitfield said. -
Chairman Wallace Guillot
stated, "Every Board Mem-

ber is very much disappoint-
ed with the discipline at Port
St. Joe High School."
One parent, Mrs. John Kra-
mer, was up in arms because
her child hadn't been disci-
plined strongly enough when
he found himself in trouble
with the school officials re-
cently. "He did something
which" was bad enough the
Principal decided he needed
suspending for a few days
and another principal came
along and lifted the suspen-
sidn. That wasn't right; if he
deserved suspending, the sus-
pension order should have
stuck," she said. "Rather
than. suspending, he was giv-
en an extra hour at school
doing something he dearly
loves to do. That's, punish-
ment and discipline?" she
asked.
A teacher, Mrs. Jacque
Price.told .of discipline prob-
l9ms in the school telling of
noise in the halls during class
periods, disrespect and class.


Proceeds from the project
will be used to finance a ball
trip to Lakeland for the base-

disturbance.' "Parents will
take care of discipline if they
are told what their child is
doing, but this isn't done in so
many instances," she said.
After the discussion of
nearly ah hour, the School
Board felt the parents wanted
something done to maintain
'discipline at the school so
their children could get an
'education. The Board said
they would take the neces-
sary steps to see that it was
maintained..
SCHOOLS ACCREDITED

Gulf County's classroom teachers are
now represented by a bargaining organiza-
tion, following action by the Gulf County
School Board Tuesday afternoon.
.Winston Wells/representing the Gulf
County Classroom Teachers Association

with all state regulations to represent the'
county teachers in, bargaining situations
under the new Publit Employees Relations
Commission law. Wells said the group had
Been approved under PERC regulations
and asked for recognition by the School
Board.
Wells said CTA had 104 members in
Gulf County, but 125 of the 145 teachers in
the county had requested the organization
to represent them in collective bargaining.
PERC rules say a ..organization must
hWe _at least '51 percent of the personnel'
involved agreeable before any organiza-
tion can be recognized as a bargaining
agent.'
All school instructional personnel will
be affected by the collective bargaining
right except supervisory personnel who
spend all or most of their time in
administrative duties.
Wells said no other groups have
applied for or expressed a desire to be the

County. '
The Board accepted CTA's petition
and collective bargaining for public em-
ployees has come to Gulf County.

The Port St. Joe City Com-
mission were told Tuesday
night they may expect a
further reduction ,in their
Revenue Sharing Funds from
the State of Florida during
the current fiscal year.
The City had been notified
back in November there
would be a reduction of $2,-
200.000.in the state fund used
for sharing with municipali-
ties due to a decrease in the
eight cent motor fuel tax
receipts. The latest reduction
was for $800.000 to be equally
divided among all cities re-
ceiving Revenue Sharing
Funds in the state.
Clerk Charles Brock said
the reduced revenue sharing
funds have already affected
the City's payments by about
10 percent and he looks for
even greater cuts in the
months to come.
At its last meeting, the
Board had decided to assess
property on a front footage
basis for two blocks on Cy-
press and Juniper Avenues
east of 20th street for instal-
lation of water and sewer
services. At the meeting
Tuesday night, the Board
decided to extend the system
on Cypress for another block,
extending the street behind
the Elementary School to
within a block of Niles Road.
There is no right of way for
the street beyond this point.
The City Commission was
anxious to close out a land
swap deal with the Gulf
County School Board Tuesday


night, and get started with
construction of a recreation
center on the old Washington
High School site. Several
members of the School Board
said they wanted to look at
the map and description the
City had given on the base-
ball park site being swapped
to the School Board to see
just what they are getting
before signing the deal. The
School Board is expected to
inspect the papers .and sign
the trade agreement next
Tuesday.
Attorney William J. Rish
alerted the Board of pending
regulations by 'the Depart-
ment of Pollution Control re-
garding run-off of storm
water and its treatment.
Rish remarked, "Now they


are going to get into the
business of regulating God
and how much rain water he
can allow to fall at any one
given time. Let's see how far
they get with that one."

The Board received three
bids for the purchase of a
crawler-loader machine but
put off awarding the bids
until they could be studied for
compliance with specifica-
tions and determine which
would be the cheapest and
best deal for the City.
The Board tabled a request
of Bob Simon of the Waste
Water Treatment Plant to
buy an oil purifier for $3,425.
Simon said the purifier would
pay for itself within three
years as well as conserve
considerable oil.

No doubt the Soviets and Chinese were
unaware of the good their refusal of a wheat
purchase will do for our nation or they surely
would have taken delivery and demanded
more.

The President's foreign oil tax went into
effect on Sunday morning. This, along with a
predicted glut of oil on the market as a result
of the crash exploration program should make
the price of foreign oil come down since the
supply and the price will surely reduce the
willingness to purchase at the price the Arabs
are asking.
The President's program naturally met
opposition. It would have met opposition if he
had proposed demanding the Arabs send us oil
in repayment of their lend-lease debt they owe
us. There's no pleasing everyone.

Even though the price of gasoline may go
up, that is more acceptable than gas rationing.
I remember the gas rationing during World
War II and it was anything but pleasant. If it
had not been war time, the gasoline rationing
program'alone' would have probably sparked
intense unrest in our nation. As it is, if a person
wants to go somewhere he can, if he wants to
spend the money on gasoline. Even those who
can afford it will be discouraged from traveling
to a certain extent, resulting in savings of fuel.

Marlon Brando is taking that old Indian
saw literally which says one should walk in the

criticizing what he does or says. Brando has

Governor Reubin Askew told a group of
Blacks who went to the Capital on Friday of
last week that there was nothing illegal about
the shooting of a man in Pensacola recently by
an Escambia County Sheriff's Deputy. He
pointed to the investigation by the Grand Jury
which failed to find any dereliction of duty on
the part of the Deputy.
This must mean the Grand Jury is satisfied
the Deputy shot in the line of duty and for a
justifiable reason.
The Blacks, however countered with
threats of people walking in blood in Pensacola
and of more shootings to come if the Deputy is
not released.
Such a threat in itself seems illegal to us.
Certainly no person interested in justice or
seeing the law properly applied would threaten
such action. But, if one isn't interested in law
and order-only in chaos and confusion-he will
foment civil disorder and protest the shooting
of criminals by law officers when the circum-
stances demand it.
Law officers carry guns to protect them-
selves and the public. When criminals come to
realize the public is going to demand this gun
be used when necessary, then the streets will
once again be safe to walk on after dark.

Sharks Make Serious Bid for Conference



SChampionship but Settle for Runner-Up


Port St. Joe's Sharks had to
settle for the runner-up slot
iu i West Coast Conference
last week end, as the Sharks
lost in the final game, 55-59 to
Crestview.
The Sharks won in the
opening round here in Port
St. Joe last Thursday eve-
ning, defeating Marianna, 58-
54. Then in DeFuniak Springs'
Friday night, the Sharks ad-
vanced to the finals by down-
ing a tough Walton' High
team, 57-50. Walton had de-
feated the Sharks twice dur-
ing the regular season. Sat-
urday night, Crestview took
the championship from the
grasp of the Sharks.


.'e '


Darrell Ward, with 18
points, led the Shark charge
against Marianna, aided by
Ernest Pittman's 15 points
and Johnny Jenkins' 12 re-
bounds, Ronnie Myrick paced
the Bulldogs with 29 points.
The Sharks jumped off to a
substantial 17-8 lead in the
first period and then held off
a Bulldog charge in the last
half to win.

Friday night, the Sharks
traveled to DeFuniak Sprii.gs
to test themselves against a
Walton High team which had
already defeated them twice
during the regular season.
But the past record didn't
make any difference to the
Sharks as they started off
behind, 22-8 after the first
period was over. A 22 point
spurt in the second period put
the Sharks right back into the


game and a 17 point fourth
period iced the victory for the
local five.
Ernest Pittman hit for 27
points in the game, with
Robert Lewis adding 13 and
Darrel Ward, 10. Gibson was
the big man for the Braves
with 22 points.

Saturday night, the Sharks
fell behind six points in the
first period and could never
make up the difference, as
Crestview took the Confer-,
ence championship. The Bull-
dogs had also defeated the
Sharks twice during the regu-
lar season.
The Sharks made their only


play for the lead in the last
period 'when they out-scored
the Bulldogs. 20-17. but it
wasn't enough to deny Crest-
view a 59-55 win and the
Conference title.
Ernest Pittman was again
the leading score maker for
the Sharks with 23 points.

entertain Apalachicola.

Better Freshmen


Until recently college freshmen were allowed to
participate in baseball, track andewhat are consider-
ed the "minor sports". It was thought that they were
not experienced or mature enough to move right into
football or basketball at the varsity level.
It's been three years and no one questions it now.
The idea of an 18 year old, starting for Notre Dame,
Ohio State, Alabama or Oklahoma was ridiculous, v
until it happened. They not only started, but excelled.
Certainly a tribute to their individual talent but also
an indication of other factors. Namely, better high
school programs which resulted from the increased
standard of living for the average family.

This year the pros took a page from the college
rule book and drafted a high school senior. His name
is Moses Malone and he joined Utah of the ABA right
out of high school. Plenty of eyebrows were raised
and much was made over his by-passing college. But
he can still go to college and if a kid gets the chance
at that kind of money, all things considered, who can
blame him. There won't be many Malone's to come
along, but when they do we're for them. At last
report he was holding his own in the pro ranks. We
wish him nothing but good luck.

An Open Letter To The Public From


Henry Block Of H&R Block


Regarding Income Tax Rebates.

Following the announcement of President Ford's proposed income tax rebate
plan for individuals, I recommended an alternate plan to both the President
and Congressional leaders. I believe my plan is more equitable and would
maximize the economic impact. Here's how I compare the two plans:


THE FORD PLAN:
1. Would give flat 12 percent rebates
totaling $12 billion.


2. Would give a maximum $1,000 rebate to
those with an income tax of $8,333.
(Most taxpayers with incomes of $40,000
or more would receive a $1,000 rebate.)

3. Would give the largest rebates to those
who are least likely to spend the money.



4. Would base the tax rebate on the
amount of the 1974 tax paid.


THE BLOCK PLAN:
1. Would give graduated declining percent-
age rebates totaling an amount to be
determined by Congress.

2. Would give a maximum 40% tax rebate
at lowest income levels declining to zero
for those with an Adjusted Gross In-
come in excess of $40,000.

3. Would give the largest rebates to low
and middle income persons most in need
of tax relief and most likely to spend
Sthe money.

4. Would base the tax rebate percentage
on Adjusted Gross Income and then
apply it to the tax...eliminating addi-
tional tax advantage to those already
benefiting from tax shelters.


WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?

WRITE THE PRESIDENT, YOUR REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATORS Make your
views known, whichever plan you prefer. They are the ones who will pass and approve
such legislation.

FILE EARLY The Internal Revenue Service is urging taxpayers to file their returns early.
It is likely that the sooner the return is filed the sooner the taxpayer will receive any rebate
permitted by new legislation. And, if you are entitled to a regular tax refund the sooner
you file, the sooner you will receive it.

If you have any questions about your income taxes visit or call any
one of our more than 7,000 offices nationwide. There is never a charge for
tax information or for answering your questions.

Studies

Shirley Simpson, M.D., of
Port St. Joe, has completed
continuing education require-
Sments to retain active mem-
bership in the American Aca-
demy of Family Physicians,
the national association of
family doctors. The Academy
formerly was called the
American Academy of Gen-
eral Practice.
The requirements call for
members to complete a mini-
mum of 150 hours of accred-
ited continuing medical study
every three years. Members
become eligible for re-elec-
tion at the. end of the third
year following their election
to membership. The
Academy, the country's
second largest national medi-
cal association, is the only
national medical gruop that
requires members to keep up
with medical progress
through continuing education.
The Academy, founded in
1947 and headquartered in
Kansas City, Mo., was instru-
mental in the establishment
of a new primary specialty in
family practice in 1969. The
new specialty is expected to
increase the numbers of fam-
ily physicians available to
,. serve the public in the future.
The. Academy's continuing
education program is the
foundation of eligibility for
family doctors now in prac-
tice who apply for certifica-
tion in the new specialty.

One step won't take you very far,
You've got to keep on walking.

One word won't tell 'em who you are
You've got to keep on talking.

An inch won't make you very tall,
You've got to keep on growing.

One little ad won't do it all,
You've got to keep them going.

A constant drop of water
Wears away the hardest stone;

By constant gnawin', Towser
Masticates the toughest bone.

The constant, cooing lover
Carries off the blushing maid.

And the constant advertiser
Is the one who gets the trade!
