Committee Recommends Rules


Gulf County's Planning Commission
adopted a set of subdivision regulations in a
meeting at the Courthouse Thursday eve-
ning. The local group of citizens, appointed:
a year ago by the Gulf County Commission
to make recommendations were aided in
their task of preparing the list of regulations
by the Northwest Florida Planning and
Advisory Council.
Four members of the Gulf County
Commission, Silas Player, Everett Owens,
Eldridge Money and chairman Otis Davis,
Jr., were present at the meeting and gave
their tentative approval to the new set of
-- regulations--- "
The regulations are designed to protect
the county and its citizens from real estate


developers who will develop subdivisions
under false pretenses. The regulations!set
out stipulations which must be followed by
developers in creating new subdivisions to
keep the areas from becoming a burden to
the taxpayers and to make sure all services
and claims offered in the new areas are
provided for.:
The new regulations also require a
public hearing before any new subdivision is
" accepted by the county.
For .\ears, the county has been accept-
ing subdivisions without requirements with
Sthe- esult that thecounty has-had to foot the
bill for building roads, and providing certain
services. Subdividers have had to bear only


the costs of surveying and mapping out a
subdivision, with no restrictions made as to
lot size, water, sewage, garbage, etc. This
will no longer be the case after the county
adopts the set of regulations hext month as
they are expected to do.
.The regulations were presented to the
Board by Planning Council chairman Hugh
White and Max W. Kilbourn.
Also at Thursday's meeting, the Plan-
ning Council and the County Commission
was alerted by the Northwest Florida
Planning and Advisory Council that certain
federal funds ..ould be available over the
next three years for use in various commun-
ity and countyy projects. .
The Board members, ,representatives rof
the cities of Port St. Joe and Wewahitchka
and the Planning Commission sat down for a
look at the projects available to be funded
under the program and set as their main
priority the funding for planning and con-

they must make other arrangements for

City Sends Out .



Call for Bids On 0



Sewer Project


The City Commission told
Bob Gehrig, a representa-
tive of Smith and Gillespie,
Engineers, of Jacksonville to
proceed with calling for bids
on the .first phase of a pro-
posed $2.8 million overhaul of
the City's Water and sewer
system Tuesday night.
Gehrig presented plans for
replacing and rebuilding the
City's three sewage lift sta-
tions as.the IirsL phase of the
re-hab program. Gehrig said
he needed only a government
stipulation of acceptable con-
struction'wages' on the pro-
ject before he could go out
for bids. The Commission
asked that the bids be sent
out immediately with the sal-
ary adendum to follow later.
Gehilg told the Board he
would have the bids returned
by April 22. The Board
agreed to change their regu-
lar meeting of April 15 to that
date in order to receive the
bids.
The first phase of the pro-
gram calls for the replace-
ment of the lift station at the
corner of Long and 16th. This
facility will be underground
with a dwelling-like structure
above ground as a service
building. Gehrig said the fa-
cility would be in keeping
with the dwelling houses in
the area. All utility services
will be placed underground.


The program will also in-

Local Residents Oppose and Non-Residents


Approve State Purchase of Peninsula


Local residents opposed
and out-of-town visitorss fav-
ored state purchase of a 1750
acre section of St. Joseph
Peninsula at a public hearing
here Monday night -which
lasted for nearly four,hours.
The pattern was set at the
hearing in the courthouse
attended by an.estimated 150
people, about evenly divided
between visitors and resi-
dents.
Of those who voiced their
opinions on the matter, 19
were Gulf county residents
and 14 were from out of the
county. Two of the Gulf coun-
ty speakers favored the pur-
S chase and three of the visi-
tors opposed the purchase.


The hearing, set by the
Florida Division of Recrea-
tion Parks, is a preliminary
step to presenting the pur-
chase of the property to the
Florida Cabinet for a final
decision.
Lt. Tom Frances, park dis-
trict naturalist from Panama
City, ard William Jernigan,
assistant director of the
Parks Division of Tallahas-
see, presided. Frances,.in his
opening remarks compared
the uniqueness of St. Joseph's
Bay and the Peninsula with


Grand Canyon, Smokey
Mountains and Yellowstone
National Park. Jernigan
merely explained the purpose
of the endangered lands pro-,
gram and explained he was-
only here to listen to the
opinions of the citizens to-
ward this particular item.
Speakers like Stephen Sted-
man. ,Bay County' Audubon
Society: Mary Ellen Chas-
tain. Panacea Woman's Club
and Helen Griffin. Apalachee
Audubon Society. favored the
purchase under the State En-
vironmentally Endangered
Land Program to preserve
'the waters and marine life of
St. Joseph Bay.
Speakers such as Tom Col-
dewey, E. F. Gunn, George
Tapper and B. M. Janowski
claimed proper development
would do no harm to the Bay
or the Peninsula. Tom Col-
dewey said the project didn't
meet the requirements of the
Endangered Land acquisition
program,
County Commission Chair-
man Otis Davis, Jr., started
the line of protesters by
presenting resolutions from
the County Commission and
the Port St. Joe City Com-
mission opposing the pur-


chase.
The environmentalists con-
tended that builders and peo-
ple drawn to the cape as one
of the last undeveloped off-
shore islands would even-
tually pollute the bay.
Jack Rudloe, owner of Gulf
Specimen Co., of Panacea,
and one of the most V6cal of
the proponents for state pur-
chase, said the cape was one
of the few remaining pristine
beach -wilderness areas left in
Florida and should be saved
for future generations.
He compared the develop-
ment movement under way
in Gulf County to put people
on the cape with Alligator
Harbor in Franklin County
which, he said, has been
destroyed by homes and
apartments on Alligator
Point.
Local speakers, such as H.
A. Hendry, Jesse Stone, W. C.
Roche, James T. McNeill,
and Bob Moore claimed the
state already had enough zon-
ing and setback regulations
to protect the bay from de-
velopment on the cape.
"We don't want to destroy
our fish and seafood either,"
said George Tapper, a for-
mer state senator and land-


owner on the cape.
"But that really isn't the
question here." He said .ero-
sion was probably the long
run enemy of the cape and
pointed out that the light-
house there now is the third
one built as the sea slowly
changes the strip of land in
the Gulf. 'The first light
was a mile out in the Gulf
from the present one", he
said.
County officials have said
the land the state wants to
purchase is-now assessed at
$1.2 million and that, if sold,
it would take $40,000 a year
away from the local tax take.
It was pointed out at the
hearing that a parcel which
comprises about half of the
acreage under consideration
currently is mortgaged for $4
million.
E. F. Gunn, who owns
property on the cape, said he
didn't agree with Rudloe's
assessment that the bay
would be destroyed "like Al-
ligator Harbor". "I was over
there over the week end
checking out the fishing in
that area", Gunn said. "I
talked to fishermen from
Panacea to Apalachicola and

Set Clock Back An

Hour Saturday Nite
Just in case you didn't know it already, the
nation, including Port St. Joe, goes off standard time
Saturday night of this week. This means we will
lose an hour of sleep Saturday night and cannot
recover it until fall.
Saturday night, you may set your clock ahead by
an hour and go to bed early to get your customary
eight hours Or, it .ou want to be adventurous, stay
up until 2-0. a m., when the time officially changes
and do it the hard \way
Whichever a.a\ you choose to do it, be sure to
change .our clock sometime before Sunday morning
or Sunday School will be over before Nou get there.
The time normally changes in April, but the
nation is changing early this year in order to
conserve energy by burning the night lights an hour
less each night. Or, at least that is what the plan is
supposed to accomplish.

Timely Action


We think it is to the credit of
the County Commission and the
School Board that they should
undertake to pare their budgets
this early in the year before they
get into trouble with diminishing
income later in the year.
Our county Road Department
is one place where we can get into
trouble if some planning isn't done
right now. Much of the Road
Department operation is financed
with gasoline taxes from the state.
Already these taxes have slowed
down and planned energy conser-
vation actions on a national level
are subject to reduce this income
even more. If the county doesn't
take steps, this particular fund
could be in deep trouble before
October rolls around when a new
budget will go into effect.

Sea Life

Abounds

In Bay
Jack Rudloe, president of
Gulf Specimens in Panacea
spoke to the Port St. Joe
Rotary Club last Thursday
telling them of the unique,
marine life which abounds in
St. Joseph Bay.
Rudloe said the bay was
unique in this area as it had
more species and greater
numbers of marine life than
any other-estuary'in this"area
': ol the Gulf"coast.. "St :Josqph
Bay is one of the last areas
left with such a variety of life
supported by its waters",
Rudloe said.
The speaker presented sev-
eral slides of the area around
St. Joseph's Peninsula show-
ing the botanical life and the
"living sand" as he termed
it. Rudloe said the sand
dunes are continually shift-
ing, losing sand and building
back again in storms, winds,
etc. He pointed out that the
environment on the peninsula
exists along the shore only
and does not exist inland.
St. Joseph's Bay, especially
the south end of the bay is a
breeding grounds for many
kinds of marine life'; includ-
ing shrimp, conehs, clams,
horseshoe crabs, mullet, and
various other kinds of fish
and shellfish. In addition,
rare birds such as the peli-

We need to make something clear for the
ambulance service being provided here in Gulf
County:
I understand several people have called on
the ambulance service for transporting patients
,from hospital to hospital or transporting people
to hospitals out of town orina non emergency
basis. These people had to be turned down and
some may feel a little hard at the ambulance
service for this reason,
The service has been provided for emer-
gency use only. If a patient is picked up in an
emergency situation and take to the hospital
only to be advised the patient needs to be taken
to where there are more .facilities, the ambu-
lance service will do so. If it is merely a matter
of transporting and not a matter of life or
death; the ambulance service can't do this.
The service has provided one vehicle in
each end of the county operated by volunteers
who leave their jobs or whatever they might be
doing to make an ambulance run. If the
transportation is not an emergency, the vehicle
cannot leave the county since it may be needed
at any time for an emergency situation. Too,
the operators can hardly be +expected to leave
their jobs to transfer a patient to another
hospital if it is not a case of an emergency
situation. They drop what: they are doing in
case of an emergency but can't be expected to
do so in an elective situation.
Another word-the ambulance service op-
erates on donations from patients and a small
amount of, money provided by county tax
Dollars. The county purchased the vehicles and
probably will continue to do so as well as
provide a place for their housing. The service
Swas set up to provide supplies from free will
donations and possibly finance the entire
operation from donations from those using the
service in the future.
So don't feel hard at the ambulance
operators if they tell you they can't do
something. It's in their by-laws of operation in
order to provide the service as much as

approximately 5:00 a.m. at
his residence in Bayou
George on the indictment by
agents of the State Attorney's
Office, Bay County Sheriff's
Office and Florida Depart-

viction of five others.
This investigation is con-

rests are expected to follow
as the probe continues into
the drug traffic throughout
Florida.


possible for emergency situations. The board of
directors suggest calling an ambulance in the
city to which you may wish to go in case of a
desired transfer.

I guess there is something to the ground
hog legend after all. Old Punratawney Phil
didn't see his shadow on ground hog day which
predicted that spring was upon us.
After two or three days of :chilly weather
for the few days following ground hog day we
have had nothing but spring weather here in
the Panhandle.
The redbuds have taken on their smoky
look with their delicate pink blossoms. Some
even by-passed the blooming stage, figuring
they were late, and went ahead and put out
leaves before they bloomed. The pear trees are
in bloom and the azaleas are just beginning to
put forth with their burst of spring color.
The pecan trees don't believe it, though,
and are still waiting for a later signal before
they begin to bud out.
The only thing I haven't seen is somebody
in swimming at the beach. I expect it any day
though.

Chauncey Costin was on pins and needles
the other day just before the cold snap which
went through our part of the state. Chauncey
looked like a nervous expectant father worry-
ing over whether or not the cold snap was
going to get his orange tree. Chauncey has an
orange tree in his back yard fixing to put on its
first crop of blooms. The tree is covered with
buds and Chauncey was worried they might get
bit by the cold before they bloomed out. It looks
like the tree is safe now and Chauncey has
taken on a more calm demeanor these past few
days.
I understand Chauncey quit smoking about
a -month ago and the worry over his orange
' tree made him start again.
Life is full of these crises Chauncey; don't
let it get you down.

COMMENTS ON THE.OUTDOORS


SDr. O. E. Frye, Jr.
Director

GAME AND FRESH WATER FISH COMMISSION


TALLAHASSEE-For
more than thirty years, the
Florida Game and Fresh
Water Fish Commission has
been on the receiving end of
the question,"Wh'ere can we
hunt?"
During that ensuing time
period, a record five million
acres of land has been ac-
cumulated under the Wildlife
Management Area program
in a continued and concerted
drive to provide licensed
sportsmen that elusive
"Quality outdoor ex-
perience", be it hunting,
fishing or simply the oppor-
tunity to step quietly across
the grass carpet of a wooded
glade or paddle languidly
across a quiet pond.
These areas consist of
state-owned tracts including
the Cecil Webb or J. W. Cor-
bett Wildlife Management
Areas in the southern end of
the state, national forests
such;-as the Ocala, Osoeola,.?
oi Apalachicola in central
arid north Florida, and
massive holdings leased from
timber, pulpwood and re-
lated industries such as the
St. Joe Paper Company,
Buckeye Cellulose, Lykes
Brothers, Container Corpora-
tion of America and other
owners of large and small
holdings too numerous to
list.
In the mysterious land of
the Everglades, the Central
and Southern Flood Control
District flowage easements
coincide with the wildlife
management activities of the
Game and Fresh Water Fish
Commission on the 175,000
square mile water conserva-
tion areas sprawling their
marshlands and sawgrass
savannas over much of Palm
Beach, Broward and Dade
Counties.
Scattered throughout the


state are other greater and
lesser pieces of private and
public owned acreage leased
or loaned to the Commission
for Wildlife Management pur-
poses.
In the future, the Coin-
mission may no longer boast
of actually controlling f've
million acres but, in fact, the
sportsmen who searched for
available hunting lands will
have more acres open
through a new cooperative
system where landowners
will open their lands to the
public at fees commensurate
with those charged by the
state and will handle much
of their own game manage-
ment and law enforcement.
While' the Commission
naturally retains constitu-
tional responsibility for all
nonjudicial authority over
wild animal life and fresh
water aquatic life, this new
program will provide more
lard' to the hunter and other
outdoor-oriented sportsmen.
Coupled with the pos-
sibility of this largesse of
land becoming available for
hunting and fishing, the
Commission is researching
methods by which more out-
doorsmen will not only have
more area to enjoy but,
through such programs as
quota systems to limit any
specific area to a lesser num-
ber of hunters, the quality
of the outdoor experience
will obviously be on the in-
crease.
Couple these innovations,
which will provide more
hunting and outdoor oppor-
tunities, with an enriched
fish and wildlife management
program, and Florida will re-
tain the title of one of the
leading states in outdoor
recreation activities through-
out the nation.

A Few Quotes
to Think About


From -George Blanda--on changes he has seen
in his 26 years in the pros. "I haven't noticed many.
The players are bigger, faster, smarter and more-
disloyal to owners. That's about it."

From Burn Phillips, new Houston.Oiler head
football coach, when asked if he had played college-
football: "I though I did, until I looked at some old
game films."

From Paul Wiggin, who replaced Hank Stram as
head coach at Kansas City: "It's fine with me, if the" "
defensive huddle wants to hold hands, as long as all :
of them do, not just two."

From an unknown college basketball coach; ",
explaining the pressures of recruiting: "Sometime" '
it's frightening when you see a 19-year-old kid:'
running down the floor with your paycheck in his-'
mouth."

From Bob Wolf, agent, on the new trend in -,
sports: "These days it's not as important to know':"
the difference between a Veer offense and a..
Wishbone as to know the difference between a.;,:
preliminary hearing and a temporary injunction."

ST. PETERSBURG, Fl. -
Here are tips said W. B.
Mackall, Director, of
Florida's Division of
Veterans Affairs of the De-
partment of Community
Affairs on federal income
taxes for veterans filing
returns.
In general, veterans bene-
fits are exempt from federal
income tax, and need not be
reported as income.


This income tax exemption
applies to dividends and
proceeds from government
life insurance -policies, but
federal estate tax does apply
to insurance proceeds. Also,
interest earned on govern-
ment life insurance
dividends left on deposit or
credit with the Veterans Ad-
ministration is considered
income and must be reported
on federal income tax
returns.


Among major tax exempt
veterans benefits are com-
pensation, pension, GI Bill
and other educational assis-
tance, including subsistence
payments to vocational re-
habilitation trainees.

Also exempt Mackall
stated, are grants to service
disabled veterans eligible for
specially adapted homes and
cars, and clothing allow-
ances for veterans whose
prosthetic devices tend to
wear out or tear their'
clothing.

If you have any questions
regarding the above or any
veteran matter, contact
either your local County
Veteran Service Office, any
office of the Veterans Ad-
ministration or write
Mackall at Post Office Box

FLORIDA


Area Information Centers


The Port St. Joe-Gulf Coun-
ty Chamber of Commerce
has undertaken a tremendous
job for the Gulf County Gol-
den Anniversary Celebration
next year. The Chamber has
agreed to provide informa-
tion centers in Port St. Joe,
Wewahitchka and Mexico
Beach.
Another big job to be han-
dled by this industrious group
will be to serve as a com-
munication center for the
entire celebration area. It is
expected that this operation
will be housed in the same
facilities as the information
centers.
Also, to take care of a very


important service, the Cham-
ber of Commerce will make
arrangements for handling
any emergencies that may
occur during the nine day
birthday party June 6-14. It is
expected that they will work
with the Gulf County Civil
Defense Unit and whatever
ambulance service available
in the County at that time.
The Port St. Joe-Gulf Coun-
ty Chamber of Commerce
will try to have available at
each of its information cen-
ters all information needed
by the general public per-
taining to all aspects of the
celebration, including what is
happening when, places to


ii"-- -.--- ---- "c~-'-- -"'L -"----- i-~


eat, and making arrange-
ments for accommodations.
The Port St. Joe-Gulf Coun-
ty. Chamber of Commerce
will have its hands full during
the fantastic festival, but
they are in capable hands.

CARD OF THANKS
We wish to thank the ,staff
of Municipal Hospital, the
doctors, nurses and friends
for their courtesy to us
during our recent stay in theq:

Financial Assistance


for Students Available


There are many financial
assistance plans available for
students attending college
(four year, community, pri-
vate and public). Many of
these programs are funded
by the state or Federal
government. Each college
also has special grants, scho-
larships, loan programs and
work study programs admini-
stered by the financial aid
director of each college.
The Florida legislature has
established and funded a pro-
gram providing for financial
assistance to qualified Flori-
da students who attend Flor-
ida colleges. This program is
known as the Florida Student


Assistance .Grant Program
and is administered by the
Florida Department of Edu-
catioq. Th deadline for filing
this application is March 1.
The Basic Education Op-
portunity Grant program
(BEOG) is a Federal Govern-
ment financial aid program.
The BEOG program has been
funded for approximately one
billion dollars for the 1975-76
school term.
Almost all colleges use fi-
nancial need as a basis for
awarding scholarships and
grants. Very few scholarships
based on academic achieve-
ment are awarded. However,
the family income which de-


termines financial aid eligi-
bility has increased and mid-
dle income families now have
a better chance of receiving
financial assistance for col-
lege.
Applications for financial
aid are available in the gui-
dance office of Port St. Joe
Jr.-Sr. High School. All
.seniors who have expressed
an interest in attending col-
lege should have received a
package of financial aid in-
formation and applications.
Any parents who would like
additional information may
call Miss Rita Sanders at
227-8962 or visit the guidance
office of Port St. Joe High.

Dangers

in SmallI

Cars Told
The small car is becoming
more and more popular these
days mostly because they are
cheaper to buy and operate;,
however, there are some in-
herent dangers which drivers
need to learn said the Florida
Highway Patrol this week.
"Studies have shown that
when a compact car collides
with a larger car or truck,
the smaller car sustains by
far the most damage and re-
sults in more serious injur-
ies," said Colonel Eldrige
Beach, director of the Patrol.
Some smaller cars cannot
be seen readily by oncoming
traffic which may be passing
on a slight rise that does not
require no-passing solid lines.
Drivers of small cars were
warned to take care when
passing other vehicles be-
cause their own car is more
difficult to see in a rear view
mirror than a full size ve-
hicle.
'.'Drivers of small cars,
which are often low-powered,
tend to drive at a faster rate
in city traffic. This greatly
increases their chances of
becoming involved in a traf-
fic crash. One major reason
for driving faster is that dri-
vers won't have to shift into a
lower gear," Beach said.
"Should you become in-
volved in an accident, your
chances of arriving alive are
greatly reduced when you are
in a small, lighter automo-
bile, so allow that extra mar-
gin of safe space between you
andg other vehicles," con-
cluded Colonel Beach.


Smokey Says:


Fire prevention affects
all of us!


the team captains.
In his address, Gaither de-
veloped his theme of wanting
his football players to be
agile, hostile and mobile. He
said his motto during all his
years of coaching was to put
out blood, sweat and tears in
football or any other endea-
vor worthy of attention..,
"Football has meant rtAlch
to me". Gaither said. "It has
helped me to meet many
good people and to influence
the lives of many young nin.
My greatest satisfaction in
life is to see one of 'my boys'
make good".
.The speaker said that any-.
thing one gets in life that is
worth while has to be worked
for. "The team or 'he.indi-
vidual who wins is the team
or the individual who worked
the hardest", he said.
Gaither said he alwaysex-
pected his players to get their
lessons, stay out of trouble
and "give me all you've got."
He philosophized that' it
wasn't how you played'-the
game that was impqrtaiit% but
winning was important. "I
know you can't win all the
time", he said, "but you can
expect to win all the time."
He urged young men to win
modestly, lose with .dignity
when you have to lose,' 2ith
no apology for either. .

general cleanup hand pruning
shears are used, loopers may
be used for branches up to
one inch, a pruning saw can
be used for larger branches
and hedge shears should be
used to trim closely clipped
hedges only. All tools should
be kept sharp. Sharp tools not
only cut easier but will not
bruise the plant tissue. Bruis-
ing the plant causes slower
healing of the wound and
causes an increase in the pro-
bability of disease.
A clean cut should be
made. This means the cut
surface should have a smooth
surface not a rough one that
looks as if the tissue has been
torn or pulled. Care should be
taken not to injure the plant
around the cut, or rip or tear
the bark above or below the
cut. The cambium layer, a
thin layer of cells just below
the bark which is important


in wound healing, is easily
injured. Do not twist or turn
the shears as you cut because
you will injure the plant as.
well as your shears. A wound
compound should be applied
to cuts over one inch in dia-
meter to prevent insects and
disease from entering the
cut.
Clipped hedges require a
specialized type of pruning
and may become a continu-
ous job during the growing
season. There are two impor-
tant factors .to remember
about clipped hedges. The
hedge should be clipped while
the new growth is green and
succulent. Also. the plant
should be trimmed so that
the base of the hedge is. wider
than the top so that light can
reach the lower leaves.


Unless a shrub is a topiary,
espalier, or part of a formal
hedge it should not be close-
ly clipped but allowed to
develop into a naturalistic
form. This does not mean
that the plant should be left
alone, but that pruning is
done to enhance the natural
beauty of the plant. The first
step in pruning is to remove
all dead, diseased, or injured
branches: Once this is done it
may be necessary to thin out
the plant. Remove branches
that cross each other or they
will obviously become entan-
gled. If the shrub still looks
too thick remove some of the
older branches. Remove any
branches that are distinctly
different from the rest of the
shrub. Cut back excessively
long growth to a bud that is


four to six inches below the
average branch length. If you
wish to reduce the size of the
shrub cut back each branch
four to six inches to a new
bud. Do not use hedge shears
but cut each branch separate-
ly. This will provide a neat,
informal shrub, that retains
its naturalistic shape.
A properly pruned shrub is

Late 'winter and early
spring is the time to prune
many shrubs and small trees
in the yard. Shrubs that
bloom in summer and fall
generally develop flowers on
current seasons growth and
should be pruned before the
first flush of growth in the
spring. Shrubs that bloom in
the spring or winter should
be pruned immediately after
flowering has finished. Prun-
ing is practiced to maintain
plant health, control plant
growth, and encourage flo-
wering and fruiting. These
objectives should be remem-
bered as.you prune.
Pruning should encourage
plant health, not plant di-
sease. Therefore, it is import-
ant to prune properly using
the correct pruning tools. For

People who had low net

security credit if they report
their earnings by an optional
method, according to. David

' County.
: Instead of reporting their
Snet earnings for the year."
Robinson said. "people can
,report two-thirds of their
-:gross earnings from self-em-
ployment for social security
credit-if the two-thirds is
$400 or more and not more
than $1,60e. provided these
amounts are not less than
,their actual net earnings.
S"They can get social secur-

The optional method of re-

people who had net self-em-

more for at least two out of
the previous three years. Un-
der the law. the option may
be used only five times.
Eligility for social security
benefits depends on credits
earned by people who work in
jobs covered by social secur-

based on the worker's aver-

flect that Ordinance No. 4,

ed as an emergency ordi-

ida Planning and Advisory

tions. The Board requested

-in the Red Bull Island area.
The Board directed the Clerk
to return three right of way
deeds that were heretofore

quest from the Comprehen-
sive Health Planning Board

services and contribute $1.400
towards the costs of this pro-
gram. The Board stated they

the program.

ing machine. The Board

ment.
The Board received a copy
of the local health depart-
ment budget. 'Comm. Money
stated that since the health

had ended. Mr. Maddox
stated that his attorney had
reported this was illegal, but
he was hot going to contest it.
However, he urged the Board

rates are getting to be more
than the people can stand.
There being no'further bus-

afternoons and week ends getting the Scouting facilities on Tenth Street ready
for use again.

kits. To the left, adult helper James Parker is putting some mullet in the
smoker to sort of head off some health appetites built up by all the work going
on.

CONSTANT

ADVERTISING



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,

S 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!
