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 'and whiskey; shout and shoot 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- Dalkeith Man Found Dead. James C.

Commissioner Silas Player said public opinion was in favor of the present legal hours when they were set and he would like to get the feeling of the general public before they were changed. He suggested the Board table the matter until the March 11 meeting to give the public a chance to express themselves. When the state hours were adopted, the Board voted unanimously to accept the state rules. on, his carport and broke windows out in his house. "We want some relief", Gunn said. The Board instructed the Road Department to erect "no parking" signs on the road in question and instruct- ed Gunn to call the Sheriff's office when and if the objec- tionable people appear. 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- night at 5:00 p.m., to work out a revised five year road program for presentation to the State of Florida.

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.

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. S- - SS% 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 atthie top was made by walking directly ac the highway from the garbage deposit and pointing the camera to the ground. photographer didn't have to 'pick his spot the-most impact'. Star ph Bidwell 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.

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. -Tallahassee Democrat For Ambulance Call 227-2311 ETAOIN SHRDLU r\ by WESLEY R.

TIE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1975 PAGE THREE 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 Recreation Cage Leagues Winding Down Season The Biddy League Basket- ball program completed play on Thursday and Friday with a single elimination tourney.

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. 3 Motorcycle helmets, children, large, med., baby play pen, swing, car seat, back pack, in good condition. 229-6097.

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- payers will bear 3.82 per cent of the proposed spending, the ninth highest percentage bur- den of the 50 states. 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. Gadget By: Cubie Laird Gulf County Extension Agent 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.
