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.
Nearly every meeting since
the roll was presented in
December has brought a

The Southeastern Outdoor

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

ing for recreational and busi-

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

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

Hearing to Feel County Pulse On Point Purchase


The Florida Department of Natural
Resources will begin hearings in the Gulf
County Courthouse Monday night at 7:30 to
decide whether or not to pursue a plan to
buy the southern portion of St. Joseph
Peninsula.
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.

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

The few we have seen who

experience we have had with the

virtually the same as it was when it

Dear Se


The other day Senator Richard

Highway.
I Next, we need Highway 98
1ur-laned. There are only two
iajor arteries across the top of the
tate-U.S. 98 and U.S. 90. With the
fening of 1-10, traffic will be.

Tluestion.-If recre,' facilities are

people to have a place of enjoy-
ment. If homes are built, we can
still have the use of the beaches.
'Too, if the state of Florida
purchases this valuable property, it
will come off the tax rolls. This
:means each' home'.-owner will have
to pay a little more taxes to make
up for what is lost off the rolls by
state ownership. The tax bill on this
property is substantial.
We feel the-.State of Florida
owns enough land in Gulf County,
what with 'the sfAt% park and the
property along :the Apalachicola
River they are currently commit-
ted to:,hly.~!We need out landt-fS.

see no, percentage: in letting the
state move in an4 buy up property
and then just sit and look at it.
The state of Florida reminds us
of the steward in the Bible who
took his talents and buried them so
he could return therh to the master
when he returned: The master was
vexed that the talents hadn't been
put to use. We can't see where the
state has proved itself a good
enough steward 'of our valuable
land to let them have even more.

of our nation is clustered along the
coast, serviced by U.S. 98. 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'.! You can't legis-
late that, Senator, but we need
them possibly worse than the other
things mentioned. ,.

Tax Collector Harland O.
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.
Guest of the club was 'Bill
Lyles.


Terrariums Are Growing In Popularity

and all notes and written The variety in shapes and
material will be kept by the sizes of terrariums iu fantas-
taxpayer. tic. 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

...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.

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.

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

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. Mrs.
Smith told of the fueds, duels
and murders which were part

Johnny Miller Appears to
Be Golfer of the Future

Last year he won eight out of 16 tournaments
entered, was the leading money winner, well over
$300,000 and had reporters calling him the successor
to Jack Nicklaus. 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.

TALLAHASSEE-"... and
how could you shoot and
kill that pretty bird?" said
the little girl. "Why didn't
you let him live?"
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

Presents $100,000 for


Chair of American History


American financier Ed-
ward Ball, two weeks ago
presented a check for $100,000
to the President of University
College Dublin, Dr. Thomas
. 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-

When a veteran dies, his

-When there is no widow, a

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-

individuals who use thel-faci-.

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.
