According to a Sheriff'sg Department spokesman, the incident occurred on Main Street at Avenue C at about, 7:15 following an argument. Dunn had reportedly been aggravating the boy for most of the day. The boy went home and secured a knife for protection and stabbed Dunn in the neck when he began picking at the boy again that evening. . Dunn was taken to Munici- pal, Hospital by the Gulf County Volunteer Ambulance Service for treatment. Dunn is still in the hospital suffer- ing from a huge loss of blood. The incident was investi- gated by Deputy Johnnie Byrd and Port St. Joe Police Patrolman James McGee.

Says 10% Should be Pared from County Funds County Commission Chair- man Otis Davis, Jr., called for the Board of Commission- ers to reduce all county bud- gets by 10 percent at the regular meeting of the Board Tuesday morning Davis cited the current economic conditions as .the reason for his recommenda- tion stating that the count' - was experiencing a reduction in income from nearly every source. The budget was set when the economy) was boom- ing along and revenues a.e hot coming up to expecta- tions. An example of what Davis das talking about was exper- ienced b\ the Board Tuesday when Tax Assessor Sammy Patrick presented a list of errors on the assessment rolls which reduced the tax take by nearly $9,000. Most of the errors were due to com- puter print-outs which had placed property on the tax rolls which was not supposed to be there. TuesdaN's list of errors included property owned by the county, the Cit. of Port St. Joe and the School Board as well as two pieces of property owned by chur- ches. "These pieces of pro- perty are not taxable, but the computer put them in the taxable property category". Patrick said.

Outdoor Writers Meeting Here t- o r, s, Ralph GloIer, President of the Southeastern: Outdoor Writers Association, has ad- vised Jesse V. Stone, Presi- dent of the Gulf County Gol- den Anniversary Celebration, That his group will hold their annual :convention in this area April 24, 25, 26 and 27 of this year.. The Southeastern Outdoor Writers Association is com- prised of approximately 100 members that are writers for newspapers, periodicals, TV and radio mediums. They cover 13 southeastern states and many of the members are syndicated writers for many papers. Some are free lance writers whose articles appear in national periodi- cals. The Gulf County Golden Anniversary Commission and the Port St. Joe-Gulf County Chamber of Commerce will handle all local arrange- ments for the group of wri- ters. The Commission has been trying to secure this convention for several months and is gratified that an affirmative 'decision has been"made to hold the meet- ing in this area. The Port St. Joe-Gulf County Chamber of' Commerce will treat the Con- vention to a banquet on Sat- urday night, April 26 as well as play a big part in arrang- ing for recreational and busi- ness programs for the group. The Anniversary Commis- sion and the Chamber hopes that everyone will do their part to make these visitors feel welcome. The area will receive a tremendous amount of publicity as a result of this 'convention. You can help to assure that this publicity will be good for our area. Many of the writers are interested in a tour of the St. Joseph Point. It is requested that people having four-wheel vehicles that would be willing to take some of these writers on a tour of the point on Friday or Saturday, April 25 or 26, please contact Jesse Stone, 229-4461, or P. O. Box 1009. Several vehicles will be needed. Your help will be a great contribution to this area. Many of the writers will want to go fresh water fish- ing. Local fishermen who are willing to take one or two of these writers fishing on April 25 or 26 are urged to contact Jesse Stone, giving him the type of fishing you do, i.e. pole, fly rod, bass, etc. Also, ling fishing will be good at that time. Ling fishermen are asked to volunteer their ser- vices. Free Tax Service Is Offered to Retirees The Bay County Chapters of the Florida Retired Teach- ers Association and the American Association of Re- tired Persons are 'jointly sponsoring a tax aid program to assist senior citizens in preparing their Federal In- come Tax returns. During the remainder of the month of February and through March, tax-assistance cen- ters will be manned in Pan- ama City, Port St. Joe, Wewahitchka, Blountstown, Green Hills and DeFuniak Springs, where senior citizens (55 years of age and older) may bring their information and tax forms and receive advice and help in preparing their 1974 tax returns, and for which there is no charge. The group will be in Port St. Joe at the Gulf County Courthouse February 20 from nine a.m. to three p.m. They will be in Wewahitch- ka February 20 at the First United Methodist Church in the afternoon at three p.m. It was to offer the elderly citizens sorie help that the Federal Government sponsor- ed the VITA (Volunteer In- come Tax Assistance) pro- gram.

The DNR is now eyeing the property and will make a decision on whether to buy the land under its program of endangered lands purchases. Their purpose is to pur- chase the land-some 1,750 acres-as a landbreak for the mainland. According to Jim Pierce, chief of the Bureau of Plans, Programs and Services for the Division of Parks, a division of the DNR, the shoreline is constantly changing. "We feel if anything is done to seriously disturb it, environmental disaster will re- sult", Pierce said. The prospective purchase has been initiated by the state and a marine biologist, Jack Rudloe of Panacea, who says he sees the area as "What Florida is", and he wants it preserved as it is for people to look at. Several landowners have already ap- proached the department to negotiate a sale, according to Pierce. Monday's hearing will get the feeling of people in Gulf County to see how they feel toward the plan. Pierce said Florida has issued $200. million in bonds to purchase what are considered endangered lands for environ- mental protection. Already more than $90 million has been authorized for purchases,' including some 16,000 acres of the lower Apalachicola flood plain. COMMISSION OPPOSES The Gulf County Commission has gone on record as opposing the purchase of the property by the state and re-affirmed their opposition Tuesday at their regular meeting. The county opposes the purchase since they feel the state owns enough property in Gulf County. They are also displeased with the manner in which the state has handled its present property on the Peninsula-St. Joseph's Peninsula State Park. Only a small fraction of the park property has been developed and the County Commission feels the remainder has been put under too heavy restrictions for use by the public. THIRTY-EIGHTH YEAR, NUMBER 24 Jonas Martin, 58 Drowns In Canal i I~ I L number of such errors which are playing havoc with the' county budget which was based on the taxable property figure presented by the As- sessor. Commissioner Silas Player agreed that a reduction need- ed to be made across the board, but asked' that the decision. be delayed until the next meeting when a 'closer study of the needs can be made. The Board agreed with Player and put off its deci- sion in the matter. AMBULANCE SHELTER For some time, the Board has been discussing the need for a permanent shelter fdt' the volunteer ambulance ser- vice and took some concrete steps to meet the need Tiles- day. ' The Board took an inspec- tion tour of the courthouse grounds and decided to build an addition to the east side of the courthouse to house the ambulance and emergency generators, which the county has to provide' power fr. emergency services whenri they are needed. ' The Board decided to call architect Charles Arthur Gas- kin to the site'and tell hili what they want 'so he -can come up with a set of plans for the shelter type construc- tion. The Board also approved payment of $1,701.00 to Gulf Coast Junior College to pay for providing Emergency Technician Training for 19 ambulance service volunteers in Port St Joe and 23 in Wewahitchka. The course is being taught in three hour classes, two nights; a week at Municipal Hospital. ASKS FOR MILEAGE Chairman Davis recom- mended that the Board re- quire mileage reports before paying mileage to the county employees who receive such payments. Davis said, "The auditors desire this type report and I think we ought to have it for our own inspection as well". The Board agreed with Da- vis' suggestion and agreed not to issue mileage expense payments unless the claims are properly verified. Mileage payments have been made by paying one twelfth of the amount set out for this purpose each month. OTHER BUSINESS In other business the Com- mission took the following actions. -Instructed attorney Rish to notify the DOT the by-pass road near the Country Club was coming, to pieces. -Refused to accept a 25 foot road right of way on the Bud Brockett Road.

In a time of emergency, a four lane highway would be indispensable. :A third thing we need here in the Panhandle and the rest of the nation is a law passed by the Congress which wouldd require the federal government to operate within its means. Like state and local government, federal govern- ment should be required to spend no more than it takes in by taxes. Other governmetital subdivisions do all right with this rule; the. federal government could, too. In the process, it would help us here in Gulf County.' :'. The last two things we need you can't do anything about, Sena- tor. Here in Gulf County we need a sense of loyalty to bur county and a sense of cooperation and unity among our people'.!

Pridgeon told the Rotary Club last Thursday that the State Association pf .Ta~ C0ol7-, lectors has started':a6 move- " ment to have the number of classifications of automobile tags reduced to possibly four categories. Pridgeon said that at pres- ent there are 45 classifica- tions of tags. "This costs the state a tremendous amount of money each year due to the different tags which must be made and the left-overs from each classification". The Col- lector said the Tax Assessors are asking for one tag for automobiles at an approxi- mate cost of $24.50; a second tag for small trucks; another for large trucks and still another tag for mobile homes. "This would simplify matters considerably and' eliminate so much waste," Pridgeon said.. Pridgeon told the Rotarians that 83 percent.of Gulf Coun- ty taxes had been collected as of last Thursday.

Glass, plexiglass, and : .plastic containers may be SuPp b cG.overnrnejq used if they are transparent so that light may reach the plants. It is bes to plant your Sifirst terrarium In a container that has a wide top for easier planting, such as a brandy snifter, fish bowl, aquarium, or purchased terrarium bowl. Before long you will be plant- ing narrow necked jars, lamp bases, and perhaps even a glass table base. Whatever the container used it should match the decor of the area in which it is to be used. After you have selected the container place a one inch layer of gravel, pebbles, or broken crockery i n.te bot- tom. This provides 'ainage .... ~ o e ; for the excess water and helps prevent overwatering problems. Cover the gravel with three to four inches of good organic soil. A soil that has equal amounts of peat and sand is fine. Form mounds and depressions in the soil. These will add in- terest to plantings as they re- present the miniature hills and "valleys in your mini- landscape. The plants used should complement each other as well as the container. They should require the samrq growing conditions. Do no'tlace cacti in your ter- rarium with foliage plants. Try to choose small plants that will grow slowly. This way you will not have to replant the terrarium as fre- quently. Use healthy, insect free plants to help prevent disease and insect problems from developing. Ferns and small woodland plants may be used for a naturalistic effect while small foliage plants and seedling palms provide the atmosphere of a tropical rain forest. African violets and their miniature, flowering relatives may be used to add color. Cacti are not suitable terrarium plants unles they are planted with other cacti, no cover is used and water is carefully regu- lated. Plant the plants at the same depth they were grow- ing in their pots and far enough apart to allow for growth. A glass cover is' used to .prevent terrariums from dry- ing out too rapidly, however the cover should be removed to ventilate the terrarium when excess moisture col- lects on the inside of the glass. Water only when the top of the soil becomes dry, then water lightly. ETA' I was looking back through some back issues of the paper last Thitrsday, looking for a *: specific article to get a' peson's name when I : ran across a "little paragraph in this column .wi:hich said, "It's uncertain now who is running .our schools; the county, the state, the federal government or~the students ..." SJudging from the attitude of the parents at Aifthe school board meeting -last Tuesday after- -noon, it appears as if at least some of the parents are convinced the students are the one in the drivers' seat. The parents didn't like it a ,:: bit, either. When parents start complaining because their children aren't punished severely enoughg, it's time for a cflR'"ge; or at least an Investigation isto the cause of the attitude. In ,,most cases; parents complain because their child is being treated too harshly in the opinion 'iof the parent.. The parents at the board meeting advocat- Sed a good strong dose of what my Momma used J to call "hicklor tea". That, of course, is a good 'strong application of a h+Wry switch on the netherr portion of the ana*bay. S' School people are quick to point out, though, that state law severely limits applica- Stion of punishment. In the base of a whipping, if San individuif teacher deci'd s he or she should punish one of his students ith a whipping, he Must call inma second teacher as an observer to witness to the fact that the beating wasn't administer in too har-a manner. Other ...restrictio.ns.i.the law makespunishment of the student less than potent. As a matter of fact, you might say the allowable punishment is negligible. I remember when I as back in grammar school, we L' a man her named Roy McKeown. kwas .~:b. big as a cedar fence post about a-' n. He was bald- headed andgl. He m ined discipline in l.- 4 ~a.;a ,, t : ~::; '~ ': .b. -,, : ..; -V' i' 'r :, : ~ .;. i OIN SHRDLU by WESLEY R. RAMSEY the classroom. He carried a yard stick with him all the time. If he thought you were loafing in the classroom, as he thought I was on occasion, he would come up behind you and rap you smartly across the shoulders with that yard stick and growl, "What are ,you doing Ramsey?" "Nothing", I would reply, Another whack across the shoulders and another growl, "Well get to doing something." Most of the time, though, Mr. McKeown just walked about the room during his teaching duties slapping his pants leg with that yard stick on occasion just to remind you he had it in his possession, setting on ready. There was no problem of discipline. Discipline in the school and class room shouldn't be such a problem. If, however, the teacher has his hands tied with a book full of "don't's" in regards to inflicting punishment, the teacher had just as well forget keeping discipline and train himself to ignore the noise, the insults, the insolence, the disrespect. The kids know what the teacher is allowed and what he is not allowed to do. I don't know what the answer to keeping discipline in school in this day and time will entail. There's no doubt it needs to be done or the kids will waste most of their time in school; Not only can,they not learn their subject with a general hubbub going on all the time, but they will also learn the bad habit of not respecting the position of others. Maybe the biggest problem is that this particular problem has been tolerated too long rather than disturb somebody by trying to go against the rules. When the parents get involved, it is time to get our heads together and come to an agreement about what can be done and see that it is done to maintain discipline. In school, discipline is just as necessary as books. We wouldn't burn our text books. Let's not ignore the discipline problem. ] ' Women Bowler Set Tourney Date The Port St. Joe Women's Bowling Association have set dates for their annual city tournament to be held on March 7 and 8 for all team events and March 15 and 16 for singles and doubles.

Star Photo Stone Claims A "Banner Year" for Local Historians St. Joseph Historical Socie- ty president Jesse Stone re- ported that 1973 had been a "banner year" for the Socie- ty at the annual meeting of the group and their guests 'last Friday night. The Society met at the St. Joseph Bay Country Club for their annual dinner and meeting. Stone pointed to the Socie- ty's success in securing three historical markers for the county marking the site of the old courthouse, the new courthouse and marking the' 100th anniversary of the City of Wewahitchka. The Society has also made arrangements for "The Great Tide to be re-printed and for publication of a book of Gulf County history written by the late Mrs. Louise Porter. Stone announced at the meeting that he had received confirmation that the South- east Outdoor Writers Asso- ciation would hold their an- ntal meeting here in Port.St. ,Joe during the month of April. He said over 100 syndi- cated and magazine writers from 13 southeastern states would be here for the event. In announcing the new slate of officers to serve during 1974, Stone said he would serve his last year as president of the Socety this year. Other officers will be: Mrs. Charles Brown, vice- president; Miss 'Netta Nib- lack, Recording Secretary; Mrs. Tom Gibson, assistant secretary; Mrs. Herman Dean, treasurer; Mrs. Paul Fensom, corresponding sec- retary; Mrs. Ralph Swatts, publicity chairman; Cecil G. Costin, Jr., legal advisor; Mrs. Edith Stone and Mrs.' George Suber, telephone committee, and Mrs. Hubert Brinson, Mrs. Herman De n and Mrs. Horace Soule, )ld cemetery committee. J. C. Belin, program chair- man for the evening present- ed Mrs. Elizabeth Smith of Crawfordville, editor of the "Magnolia Monthly" as the guest speaker of the evening. .Mrs. Smith gave some in- teresting stories of area his- tory including the sinking of the "Lamplighter" off the coast of Dog Island in 1841 and the history of "South- wood" plantation near Talla- hassee and its part in Florida history. SMrs. Smith said the sinking of the "Lamplighter" was the only case ev4r recorded of a vessel refusing to cqme to the aid of another fn disdtiss She also reported it was the only known sinking of a vessel in which the women and chil- dren weren't first to get into the lifeboats. Only 17 of 33 persons on the ship survived the sinking and only eight of these lived through the or- deal. Southwood was founded by the Chaires family who play- ed such a huge role in the history of Florida.

This in itself isn't so unusual. Other young golfers have had exceptional years, only to fade and become good but not great. The unusual thing about Johnny Miller, is that he's started this year by winning three out of his first four. To become one of the greats or superstars, in any sport, requires'more than just one or even two years. The tour has just started this year, so anything can happen. His convincing wins over the past 14 months indicate he can continue, though certainly not at this pace. The important thing is; can his pride and competitive nature remain strong enough to endure the long practice sessions and the. constant pressure, over a period of time? The financial security he's acquiring now, plus other personal factors may diminish his desire for competition. We'll see. For someone like me, who can kick a golf ball farther than he can hit it, to even comment on the game is ridiculous.. But as someone once said, "You don't have to be a pilot to know the difference between a jet and a Piper Cub." Aeronautically speaking-Johnny Miller is a 747. of the Chaires family history, as well as their part in forming the state and defend- ing the South in the War Between the States. She said 18 Chairs men went to war during this time. The quilt is on display at Florida First National Bank this week and will be at St. Joe Furniture next week. The bowlers will appreciate your support in helping to make their city tournament a suc- .cess. Assets Cash and Due from Banks. Investment Securities: U.S. Treasury Securities. ,..

And I stood' there with a green-head mallard drake in ,my hand and a tow-headed youngster staring into my eyes, and tried to decide hoiw best to answer. Can an eight-year-old un- derstand what "wetlands habitat" means to a duck, even if the words themselves are comprehensible? )oes the figure of $11 million worth of Duck Sta~pps for conservation of wetlands within the United States actually tell this youngster what allowed this duck to even have a place to be. hatched? Can I explain thi benefits our waterfowl derive from the hunters who purchase these Migratory Waterfowl Stamps, and who cotribute to Ducks Un- limited? js that child plays with hbd dolls and pet kitten, can yqu explain to her why it's tlh hunter who has managed tot save game and fish over the years as the "Progress" of: expansion threatens the veyy woods and waters in Switch they thrive? Those are a lot of ques- tions, but the youngster of today who may determine the path of America in the future, needs an answer to each and every one of them, and only you and I can supply those answers. When a lad or lassie is old enough to understand the difference between the con- servationist and the preserva- tionist, there's a good chance he may already have his mind turned in the direction anti-gun, anti-hunting extre- mists want it to go. After all, it's easy to con- vince the unlearned how "evil" it is to drop a fast rising quail when that little mind has yet to be taught what "renewable resource" means, or the difference be- tween slaughter and harvest of a game crop. Take a few moments to explain this to the small fry and you won't have as much defending to do to a poten- tial legislator or member of the "anti" element in a few tary effective Jan. 4: appoint Nancy Wilson as Secretary effective Jan. 6; appoint Gail Nunnery as Teacher Aide effective Jan. 7.

J.

Murphy, to be used to endow a Chair of American History at i.iversity College Dublin. Mr. Ball made the presen- tation on behalf of the Alfred I. duPont Foundation, of .f which he is a director. The Chair is to be known as "The Mary Ball Washington Chair of American History" in honor of the mother of the United States' First Presi- dent, -George Washington. Edward Ball is a descendant of Mary Ball Washington. The donor's purpose is to make a gift in trust to create a capital fund, the income of Benefits Legislation enacted by the 93rd Congress immediately before adjournment in December, 1974, will permit a large number of veterans. widows, children and depen- dent parents to continue re ceiving disability or death benefits from the VA during 1975. According to W. B Mackall, Director of Flor- Sida's Division of Veterans Af fairs, if this legislation hac not passed,, many claimants would have suffered reduc- tion or discontinuance .ol I their VA payments at the end of 1974 because their annual income would have exceeded the amounts previously al- lowed by law. The*new law increases the annual income limits which are used to determine VA pension eligibility. Prior to 1974, a single veteran wh( was permanently and totally disabled because of injury o0 disease not caused by service was entitled to pension if his annual income was not mor than'$2,600. If he had a wife or children, the income limi was $3,800 a year. Effective January 1, 1975, the annua income limits are $3,000 for which, in perpetuity, will be used for the maintenance of The Mary Ball Washington Chair. The United States' Ambassador, John Moore, played a major role in ar- 'ranging- this gift. Edward Ball, who is 86 and unmarried, has no Irish heri- tage. However, he has long been keenly interested in Ire- land and the Irish people. He has, over the years, invested heavily in Irish business en- terprises because of his fond- ness for, and high esteem of the Irish people. He stated that years ago he was "struck by the fine qualities of the Irish people, their forthrightness, their court- esy, their humor, their kind- In Force Single veteran and $4,200 for a veteran with dependents.

He added that the Irish -people began playing a major. role in every facet of Ameri- can life more than 200 years ago and are still doing so. :.Mr. Ball said that for these '"reasdns"'iid m'an\ more he' is "both delighted and proud to participate, in the name of the Alfred I. duPont Founda- tion, in the establishment of a Ghair of American History as a fitting monument to Irish and American relations.

The Port St. Joe Elemen- tary School gymnasium is one of the most widely-used facilities in the city. School officials are well pleased with the cooperation of the Church Basketball League and, the Recreational Department in caring for the gym and in taking responsibility for leav- ing it in good condition..Most individuals who use thel-faci-. lity also shpw respect for public property. There is an element however, that is very destructive, resulting .in a great deal of unnecessary ex- pense for the school system. Instances of vandalism after school hours are on the in- crease. Bicycles and motorcycles are being taken into the gym and ridden on the floor. Arti-, cles of clothing have 'been forced down commodes, clog- ging them, and light bulbs have been stolen from the rest rooms. Doors have been forcibly removed to gain en- trance to the equipment room where many items haie been pilfered. Lights have been 'left on when the gym is/ not in use, causing increases in already swollen utility bills. ",Beer cans, whiskey bottles, and other unsightly litter to which young children should not be exposed clutter the entrance.
