County Hires Building inspector
on.hitcrprtan bok


The Gulf County Commis-
sion hired a building inspec-
tor Tuesday night to enforce
its new building code and
accepted a draft of a subdivi-
sion regulation document
from the county's planning
commission.
E. F. Gunn, former con-
tactor was retained to do the
building inspection chores to
see that all construction in
the county comes up to the
Southern Building Code, re-
cently adopted by the county.
Gunn will also' police and
inspect for building codes in
force in the cities of Port St.


Joe and Wewahitchka.
The County adopted the
Southern Code just before the
January 1 deadline set by the
State of Florida.-
Gunn asked the Board
Tuesday night when he was
supposed to go to work. At-
torney William. J. Rish said
the ordinance would be in
effect about the middle of
March, "after all the notices
and legal advertising have
been published and the wait-
ing period is over".
The county's code covers
all construction with the ex-
ception of farm out-buildings.


BEACH BUMS
E. F. Gunn was serious
Tuesday night, but the way
he described his plight with
"beach bums" was hilarious
to those in attendance at the
County Commission meeting.
Gunn was present asking
for relief from those "Yankee
hippies stopping traffic on the
**


road to our houses on Cape
San Blas Shores and parad-
ing around on the beach
drunk and naked."
Gunn said "They come
from everywhere but Flor-
ida; mostly from Michigan,
Illinois and California. They
park their cars in our road so
we can't get in and out then

,.camp on the beach in little
pup tents; get drunk on pot

guns all night long; parade
up and down the beach naked,
men and women alike, with
no respect for those of us who
live there". Gunn said the
intruders have even parked
in his drive, built cook fires


Wants Hours Extended


The County Commission was approach-
ed again Tuesday night to extend liquor
sales hours in the county outside the borders
of a municipality.
The Commission had fielded this prob-
lem just a few months ago and decided at
that time to follow the state law for open
hours rather than set their own hours. The
state law requires closing between the hours
of 12:00 midnight and 7:00 a.m.
Jim Austin, owner of The Wonder Bar
on St. Joe Beach said the county's position in
the matter was causing hardships on Gulf
county dealers. He pointed out that Franklin
and Bay county offers longer hours than
Gulf County. "This puts us at a disadvan-

adjoining counties.
Commissioner Silas Player said public
opinion was in favor of the present legal

to get the feeling of the general public

OTHER BUSINESS
In other items of business,
the Board:
-Contracted with the
Northwest Florida Planning
and Development Council to
file an application for the
County to secure federal
funds for financing several
public projects.
-Set a workshop for to-

BARRON SPEAKS
Representative William J. Rish introduc-
ed the speaker for the evening, Senate Presi-
dent Dempsey Barron of Panama City.
Barren started off by saying, "My inten-
tion, while I am President of the Senate is to
awaken the people of Florida and the nation.'
Something must be done about the growth of
government. In Florida, government is growing.
faster than national government and twice as:
fast as the gross national product." -
Barron hit hard at the fact that 10 years
ago the state budget for a two year period wasE
just slightly under a billion dollars. "This year:a
alone, the state budget will be $4.5 billion".
The speaker used the meeting as a
vehicle to again point to his contention that.the-
department of corrections should be divorce
from the Health and Rehabilitative Services~
department. "Old people, dependant children,;

What Makes A Person


Act Like A Slob?


What makes a person throw his
Sgarbage on the side of the road...
and. on the side; of one our main
highways at that?
SThose of us who live here in
Iort St. Joe seldom notice the trash
collecting on the shoulder of the
highway since we live here and we
pi from one place to another
withoutt glancing, to right or left.
Weve been there and seen the
s enery before.
'Thursday someone threw out a
b:sack full of garbage on High-
vy 71 near where the Industrial
Io~d comes into 71 and it scattered
a-ong the side of the road for 30 or
4i:, feet, making a general mess.
Affer seeing this we started keep-
ing an eye on the shoulder of the
road and it is.literally _eppered
with empty cans and debris.
:: What makes someone do this?
Would they do it in their own yard
orj in their own house? We think
n it; ;- .
i Since it costs all of us dearly in
tages each year- to clean up this
niess, it seems we would be a little
nt.re prudent about what we throw


out of our cars as we ride along.
There is a fine for such activi-,
ties, but before the fine can be
levied, the person has to be caught
littering up the couijtryside. There
is no need of a fine, especially for
home folks. We should have more
pride in the appearance of our
county than to litiA' the roadside
with all sorts of debris. It doesn't
take much effort to keep the litter
in the car until it can be deposited
in a garbage can. Who knows, if we
take a little more care in this area,
our taxes may even come down a
penny or two. Certainly our county
will look much better.
We have been told it costs the
State of Florida more to pick up a
case of beer cans than the case of
beer co-t ia..the. first place. In the
case of soft drink cans, the cost of
picking up the litter would be more
than the case of drinks.
Such slobbish actions (and
that's the only way it can properly
be described) does not speak very
well for our citizens. Take a little
more care with your empties if you
would. Please.

Highway No Garbage- :rQmp


This sack of garbage was tossed out on
Highway 71 about five miles east of Port St.
Joe sometime last week. The Star photog-
rapher saw it late Thursday evening and
photopraphed it Friday. In the meantime it had
become scattered and scavenger birds and
animals had made off with part of it. The road


side on Highway 71 is littered with bottles
cans tossed from cars. The small inset pic

Reports

Progress
Superintendent of Schools,
David Bidwell spoke to the
Rotary Club last Thursday,
outlining some of the com-
parisons of last year's school
year with the current year.
Bidwell also gave a "batting
average" of some of the
programs he and the School
Board hoped to see introduc-
ed into the school system
during the past year.
First, the Superintendent
said millage and tax dollars
collected had declined in the
past budget year. The 1974
budget called for a mill levy
of 11.595, producing $705,718
in local tax dollars. The
current budget is financed
with a 7.521 mill levy, produc-
ing $690,460 local tax dollars.
Bidwell said that all of the
projects he and the Board
hoped to accomplish had
been met or partially met
with the exception of one
project-setting up property
records. The goals set for the
system over the past year
included such programs as,
written district policies,
handbook for bus drivers, bus
S service to Gulf Coast Com-
munity College, vocational
school program, expansion of
the exceptional child pro-
gram and several others.
In addition, the Board,' over
the past year has, cut two
S people from the district staff,
*... introduced a career educa-
tion program, air conditioned
..," the elementary school, im-
proved the kindergarten pro-
gram and set up a school
advisory committee.
Improvements for the com-
. ing year, many of which have
-. already been started, in-
clude: a beefed-up reading
S program, elementary accre-
S ditation, re-roofing of the ele-
S mentary schools, elementary
music and art programs and
pm more attention to the disci-
pline problem.
Guests of the club Thurs-
day included Bill Latham of
Niagara Falls, N. Y., Bishop
Murray of Mobile, Ala., Scout
Master, Charles Stevens and
scouts Dwayne Woullard and
Tripp Barrier.

otos. R. C. Lupton


The hearing at the Courthouse
last Monday concerning whether or
not the people of this area favored
purchase of 1,750 ,acres of the
Peninsula by the State of Florida
had an ironic twist.
For years, the same people
who favored the.state purchase of
the Peninsula have been to the
forefront telling us how our indus-
try and city is ruining St. Joseph
Bay with their effluent. We have
heard this preached for so long that
we all believe it-those of us who
live here and those who make it
their career to look after the
environment.
These same environmentalists
were on hand at the hearings
urging .he state to purchase the
property to protect St. Joseph Bay
from pollution. These same people
described the Bay as the last one
on the coast with such. "pristine
beauty", such "an abundant incu-
bator of all types of fish and
shellfish", and "home of a greater
variety of sea. bird and animal life
than any other estuary in the
state."
SWe nearly dropped our teeth


Other Editors Say:
PI


when this argument came about.
We thought the bay was nearly
dead insofar as production of sea-
food was concerned based on past
performances of these same peo-
ple. Now we hear it is far from
dead. As a matter of fact it is
bursting with life.
One argument" or the other
must be wrong.
Those of us who live here know
it to be teeming with life. Shrimp
boats ply the bay the year around.
Fishermen take millions of pounds
of fish from the bay each year. The
bay is far from dead.
What really galded us was the
fact the visiting eiiironmentalists
thought we would be foolish enough
to allow the bay to be damaged. We
depend to a great extent on its
effect on our economy here, which
is considerable. We have no desire
or intention of letting it die.
If the environmentalists will
just stay home and mind their own
business, we will prove to be better
stewards of our natural resources
than they appear to have been of
theirs.


Stone Has Some Ideas


U. S. Sen. Dick Stone has
some ideas about lowering
and stabilizing oil, coal and
natural gas prices which
might solve some of the
nation's energy problems.
He has introduced a bill
which calls for the President
to set a ceiling and a floor for
prices of all oil and oil equi-
valents, domestic and for-
eign.
He says that would allow


prices to range freely be-
tween a suggested first-year
ceiling of $9.50 per barrel and
a floor to be dternrined after
hearings on the bill. The pur-
pose is to insure a fair profit
for the oil industry without
bankrupting the country and,
more important, to encour-
age them to step up their oil
exploration and production
with assurances that the pro-
fit rug won't be pulled from


under them if they do.
Domestic oil producers, for
instance, would know the ap-
proximate price they would
receive for oil and how much
could be put back into explor-
ation for new oil sources.
At the same time, Senator
Stone wants the President to
negotiate credit-purchase
agreements with the oil
supplying nations. Cash is


required at present. Stone
would tell the suppliers
that after we pay them for a
fair profit, they have to give
a little to keep us as a
customer.
We agree that negotiations
for credit terms are overdue.
However, we also recognize
that foreign oil producers
need the money we pay them
so they can buy our technical
know-how and industrial pro-
ducts. But there should be
some lee-way.
There is another aspect to
Stone's bill which makes
good sense. If the President
determines a foreign country
has acted to restrict or place
an embargo on oil exports to
the U. S., he must cancel for
the duration of the restriction
that country's eligibility for
grants, credits, loans, techno-
logical and military aid from
the U. S. government.
Most-favored-nation trade
status also would be suspend-
ed. There should be no reluc-
tance on the part of our
government to do these
things. We can't permit
somebody to kick us and con-
tinue to reward them with
special considerations.
Senator Stone has asked
the Senate Interior Commit-
tee to hold hearings on
energy prices. He suggests
that technical experts from
the Organizaton of Petrolem
Exporting countries be in-
vited to testify. That is a'
good idea.
Drastic reduction in our
use of oil is not the solution to
high prices or dependency on
foreign oil sources. We agree
with Stone that stringent cut-
backs will cause more infla-
tion, unemployment and re-
cession.
What he offers is a sensible
approach which allows the oil
producers to make a fair
profit, helps maintain an ade-
quate oil supply and gives the
American consumer a break.

Letters.o the Editor


LettefS to the Editor


2116 Long Avenue
Port St. Joe, Fla.
February 23, 1975
Letters to the Editor:
th-ar Mr. Ramsey:
We appreciate your letting
us have this space in The
Star to reach our friends.
We, Ricky and Dot Hamm
wish to thank the people who
have stood behind us in our
recent troubles. You will
never know how much your
phone calls, prayers, visits
and letters have meant to us
and our family. I, Ricky was
cleared of all charges involv-
ing my arrest in November
on a drug charge. The State
Attorney received no evi-
dence, or information on my
case so therefore it was dis-
missed and all records des-
troyed. I am attending Chi-
pola Jr. College where I
maintain a B+ average and
am living with my Aunt
Margaret and cousin, Mr.
and Mrs. Edward J. Woods in
their home in Marianna. Mr.
and Mrs. Woods are former
residents of Port St. Joe.
I do not know why Sheriff
Raymond Lawrence treated


my family the way he did
concerning my arrest as we
were good neighbors for over
11 years. He was like a
second Daddy to me, taking
me camping, fishing and
hunting along with his boys.
God works in mysterious
ways and following my ar-
rest, I found Jesus as my
personal Savior and now I
am very happy.
I, Dot Hamm was fired
from the News-Herald job at
the time my son was arrest-
ed. His warrant was signed
by Deputy Butch Leonard of
Wewahitchka and I was fired
by David McCalvin, my
superior, also from Wewa-
hitchka. Mr. Smith, both Mc-
Calvin's superior and mine,
told me and I quote: "Mr.
McCalvin came by here and
told me you had quit," un-
quote. The matter was solved
and McCalvin was not to
come back to Port St. Joe as
my superior. Things were
fine until Feb. 12 when for
reasons unknown" Mr. McCal-
vin and three men made a
survey on 65 out of 685
customers in Port St. Joe and


again I was fired. I quote
Gary Copeland for the reason
for my dismissal. "A survey
was taken on 65 customers
and we have 12 complaints
and believing in. figures
therefore we are releasing
you," unquote. I Have work-
ed for nine years with Port
St. Joe, Highland View, Oak
Grove and all the beach area
and I know in my heart how I
have tried to please the peo-
ple so therefore I decided to
do my own survey on the
same route they surveyed.
I have interviewed the
same number of people they
surveyed and only one person
filed a complaint. I do not
know why I am being treated
this way now after working
with the public nine years. To
all the 685 customers I was
serving, I want to say thank
you and to all the ones who
have stood behind me that
were old customers or just
concerned citizens I want to
say thanks to you too. May
God bless you all.
Sincerely yours,
Dot Hamm

TMR Unit
In Operation

At School
A Trainable Mentally Re-
tarded (TMR) unit went into
operation this school year at
Port St. Joe Elementary
School under the direction of
Mrs. Faye Wood. These stu-
dents are being helped to
develop self-help skills, social
skills, and elementary lang-
uage mastery in order that
they might look after them-
selves and perform simple
tasks about the home or the
immediate .neighborhood.
To carry out its goals, the
TMR unit badly needs some
equipment for teaching
housekeeping skills. Mrs.
Wood is asking the people in
the community to donate any
of the following items for
which they have no further
use: linens, dishes, pots and
pans, tableware, kitchen


utensils, couch, bed, and re-
frigerator.
Please contact the school if


you can donate any of the
above. Someone from the
school will pick them up.,,.

the Sharks up for 38 free
throw attempts Saturday
night in Quincy, and made 27
of them for the margin to win
the Class AA. District 3 bas-
ketball. championship from
the Sharks, 65-55.
The Tigers are usually the
Sharks biggest test when the
play-downs begin and this
one was no exception. The
Tigers barely squeaked by
Carter-Parramore Friday
night by a single point in an
overtime period.' The Sharks
had handled Carter-Parra-
more easily during the regu-
lar season, as had the Tigers.

Friday night, the Sharks
defeated the Chattahoochee
Yellow Jackets. 70-62 to earn
a shot at the finals Saturday.
The Sharks led the scoring in
every period except the third.
when the Jackets put on a
surge to threaten the Sharks


Shark baseballers opened
the season with a win over
Florida High of Tallahassee.
A young, inexperienced
Shark team traveled to Tal-
lahassee and came away with
a hard fought 6-4 win.
With the score tied 4-4 in
the top of the eighth inning,
Robbie Sanborn singled,
Bruce May doubled, and John
Owens tripled to push across
two go-ahead runs.
Mark Wimberly started for
the Sharks and went five inn-
ings. Jay Stevens came on in
the sixth and picked up his
first win of the season.
Leading hitters were: Rob-
bie Sanborn, John Owens and
Mark Wimberly with two hits
each.

The Sharks left last Thurs-
day to travel to Lakeland for
a three game series. On Fri-
day afternoon, the Sharks
played Class 4A Lakeland
Kathleen. In the first inning
the Sharks pushed across
three big runs, as Bruce May
tripled, John Owens singled,
Sandy Sanborn tripled, and
Mark Wimberly singled.
At the end of a little better
than 41' innings of play, the
game was called due to wet
grounds, with the Sharks
leading 4-1 behind the three
hit pitching of Keef Pettis.

Saturday, February 22, the
Sharks traveled to Frostproof
to play Frostproof and Se-
bring in a double header.
In the first game against
Frostproof, the Sharks down-
ed the single A power 12-2,
behind the two-hit, 10 strike-
out pitching of senior Mark
Wimberly; and the hitting of
sophomore Keef Pettis, who
had four hits, six RBI's, with
one of the hits a grand-slam
home run over the leftfield
wall.

Triple A Sebring downed


nine point half-time lead. The
Sharks roared back in the
final period to put 26 points
through the nets to head off
the Jackets.
Darrell Ward paced the
Sharks with 18 points. Johnny
Jenkins added 15 and Robert
Lewis 14.
Chattahoochee had four
players in the double figures,
led by Jimmy Duce with 16
points.
The Tigers and Carter-Par-
ramore fought to a 66-66 tie
at the end of the regulation
time. The Tigers put four
points through the hoop in
overtime while Carter-Par-
ramore managed only three.
Score by quarters:

Chatlahoochee18 10 20 14-62
PORT S'f JOE-Ward, 9-4-'
18: Jenkins. 6-3-15: Lewis.


the Sharks 1-0, as the Shark
bats were silenced by a hard
throwing left-hander. The
Sharks collected three hits,
two by pitcher Jay Stevens,
and one hit by second base-
man Bill Norton. Jay Stevens
pitched a fine game, giving
up only three hits.
The Sharks' record is 2-1,
playing Mosely Wednesday.
and they travel to Monticello
Saturday for a double header.

The Coaching staff and
each player would like to
thank the community for
'their great support of the fish
fry which made it possible to
make the trip:' Coach Lewter
said. "We would also like to
thank everyone, that helped
with the fish fry."

have nothing in common with criminals",
Barren said. He also was disturbed over the
fact that criminal care was so expensive.
"Criminals receive more for health care from
the state than the tax payer spends on
himself", he said.
The Senator observed that "rehabilitation
is a flop". He favored mandatory jail sentences
for those committing robbery with a dangerous
weapon and committing rape.
Barron took the halls of higher learning
to task by stating, "We're not getting what we
pay for in higher education. The hardest
learning years are in grades K through three .
and we spend $900 per child per year in this
area. By the same token, the first four years of
college are the easiest learning years and we
spend $1,200 a year in Junior Colleges and
$3,300 in four year universities." Barron
thought college professors should spend at least
15 hours a week in the classroom and take a
larger pupil load.
In the area of public lands, the speaker
said "No one knows how much land Florida
owns. The best estimate is around 10 percent
and 50 percent of our shorelines." He favored
and advocated a slowdown in public purchase
of lands.

At one time it was believed
that marigolds would reveal
a robber to his victim.


For every dollar spent by
the' federal:.government next
year, nearly four cents of -it
will come from Florida tax-
payers, the Florida Chamber
of Commerce reported today.
This estimate is based on
the record breaking $349.4
billion federal budget pro-
posed by President Ford for
the 1976 fiscal year beginning
July 1.
The Florida Chamber has
calculated that Florida tax-

GROW YOUR OWN -Barbie Barton, left, of Sopchoppy and Cathy Beck-
man of Grant, both attending Florida State University on the Southern
Scholarship and Research Foundation (SSRF) program, have found that
growing their own vegetables not only saves them money but is a lot of
fun. SSRF, Florida's most unique scholarship program, is a work-
scholarship program which takes the form of free housing, furnishings
and cooperative living. Outstanding students who need financial
assistance, collectively purchase groceries, plan and prepare meals and
-share housekeeping duties, saving more than $1,200 per year per student.
They receive no cash but work for what they receive. Since its founding
nearly 25 years ago, more than 3,000 students have graduated through
the help of this program. Currently underway is a project to build 15 new
homes for another 300 students. The first of these homes, Polk House, is
now being occupied. Presently there are 250 students living in 14 SSRF
houses. Donations, as well as inquiries for scholarship applications,
should be mailed to the Southern Scholarship and Research Foundation,
P.O. Box 2372, Tallahassee, Fla. 32304.

The age-old problem plagu-
ing commercial fishermen
and one which can turn a
hopefully profitable expedi-
tion into one of fruitless
searching is the problem of
locating the fish.
In an effort to solve this
problem a "fish scanning
device" is presently being
tested under the auspices of
the Florida .Sea Grant Prry
gram. Representatives from
the staff of the Marine Ex-
tensin Center, University of
Georgia, and M. Krishnamur-
thy, Hydraulics Laboratory,


Tested


College of Engineering, Uni-
versity of Florida, have in-
stalled the device on the boat
of Thomas Groover, Secre-
tary of the Florida Fisher-
men's Marketing Associatin,
who fishes out of Port Saler-
no.

The sonar scanning device,
manufactured by a Pacific
Coast firm, operates on the
same basic principle as a
radar.

"A sound signal is gene-
rated by a transducer,"
Krishnamurthy explained,
"and when the signal is
struck by an object it is re-


flected back towards the
transducer where it is ampli-
fied, processed and displayed
on a cathode ray tube giving
the bearing and range of the
object."

The sonar, -according to
Krishnamurthy, consists of a
transmitter and receiver,
both of which can be oper-
ated on a 12 to 32 volt electri-
cal system. Reports from
Groover indicate the instru-
ments are performing well
and that the initial trial tests
seem to have produced more
mackerel. The full testing
period will cover about six
weeks.


According to the state
chamber, the $13,347,080,000,
which will be Florida's share
of the federal budget, is more
than four times the amount of
state taxes collected last year
to finance Florida's state
government.
"Of course, Congress may
reduce or increase the
amount, but at this point the
budget is about $36 billion
higher than last year. This
has increased the Florida
taxpayers share by about $3
billion," noted 4Ronald S.
Spencer, Jr., Executive Vice
President of the Chamber.
