U" THIRTY-EIGHTH YEAR,,NUMBER28. , I Industry Deep Water Port Fine People Safest Beaches in Florida PORT ST. JOt, FLORIDA; THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 1975 Face 1979 Deadline County Told It Must Provide 911 Emergency Nuber Gulf County was notified Tuesday that it will be re- quired by the State of Florida to get into the "911 program'" of providing an emergency communications within the next four years. .Bill Vanlandifigham, with the state Division of Com- muntications said a state law would require the county to come up with a plan by the middle of June, 1976; order the necessary equipment by the first of 1977 and have the program into operation by 1979 .. The 911 communication system would provide one number for calling-any emer- gency service. Vanlanding- ham said the number would 'not replace present commu- nications systems of present emergency facilities but would provide a number, eas- ily remembered by persons in a situation where they were excited and couldn't remember which number to call. The 911 system would allow persons to call for law enforcement, fire depart- ments, ambulance or any other emergency service by the one number, 911. -Vanlandinghari said. he, would be glad to work with a local committee for setting up a system. He suggested -the natural- place -to- put the - 911 headquarters would be in the Sheriff's office since this office provides. 24-hour dis- patchers. The expense in- yolved would be in maintain- ing open lines from the cen- tral headquarters to each of the emergency stations in- volved. He said some coun- ties were providing the ser- vice for around $150.00 per month and one county was doing the job for about $30.00 a month. The state representative Mrs. Martin Died March 2 Mrs. Juanita Martin, 56, a resident of 317 Avenue C, died Sunday, March 2 in a Tailahassee hospital. Mrs. Martin has been a resident of Port St. Joe since 1938. She was a member of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, a member of the choir and Ushers Board. Survivors include two daughters, Annie R. Martin of Port St. Joe and Annie C. Martin of Panama City; three sons, Roy Neil, Jr. of Patterson, New Jersey, James D Martin of Moss Point, Miss. and Bobby C. Martin of Port St. Joe; a sister, Mrs. Nora Sapp of Panama City; a brother, Robert H. Henderson of Buf- falo, New York; three grand- children, two aunts, nieces and nepehews. Funeral services were held at 2:00 p.m. Saturday, Mar. 8 at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church with Rev. H. P. Pittman; pastor, officiating. Interment followed in the family plot of Forest Hill Cemetery. All services were under the direction of Comforter Fun- eral Home. Softball Tourney Saturday, Sunday There will be a Slow Pitch Softball Tournament held this Saturday and Sunday with actin beginning at 8:00 -a.m. Saturday at the softball field. Teams participating are from Dothan, Ala., Tallahas- see, Panama City, Wewahitchka, Blountstown and local teams Sears, Tele- phone Company and Indus- trial State Champs Raffield's Fisheries. The concession stand will be open serving hot dogs, barbecues, cokes, etc. said Florida will be com- pletely blanketed by the 911 service by' 1979 and that other states were following suit. He predicted' the number would *" *\ _. .. be in operation all over the nation in a short while. The Board didn't take too kindly to another instance of the state giving the county : . another mandate of services it would offer, even though they seemed to be in favor of the 911 concept. Commission chairman Otis ** ; Davis, Jr., said he would appoint a committee to work on the program in the near future and then contact Van- landingham for his help. **ki Beverage Dealers Want Old Hours St h County liquo: dealers came back to the County Commis- sion loaded for bear Tuesday morning.

After hearing that the close; ing hour had always been 1:00 a.m., until the state changed recently, the Board unanimously agreed to adopt a local ordinance allowing the dealers to remain open the extra hour. HEALTH DEPARTMENT For some time, the County Commission has been want- ing to question Dr. W. H. Weathington of the County Health Department as to what the duties of the De- partment consist of. The .county operates the Health Department' jointly with the State of Florida. The Board had that oppor- tunity Tuesday, when Dr. Weathington appeared at a meeting. Of prime concern to the Board was the fact that sen- ior and retired citizens in the Bural Clem( Bural Clemons, 64, a resi- dent of 323 Avenue A, Port St. Joe, died Saturday, March il. He was a long-time resident o0f Port St. Joe and was an enrployee of the City before his 'retirement.

There are 2,500 people in the Wewa- hitchka area, no doctors and no hospitals. There are 7,500 people in the Port St. Joe area, four doctors and a hospital. It's as simple as tliat." The doctor went on to say that the Department is operating with the same staff as it did 20 years ago and did not have the personnel to Scarry on more activities than They did at present. The Board requested the blood pressure checks to be made .in the Port St. Joe clinic and Weathingtori said that if a doctor requests checks of retired persons on a weekly or monthly basis they would offer the service. Sheriff Raymond Lawrence asked for medical care from the Department for prisoners (Continued on Page 8) F. E.

CD Will Simulate Emergency Frida Gulf County Civil Defense will conduct a simulated emergency here in Port St. Joe Friday, according to CD director, Richard Lancaster. The exercise will begin at 9:00 a.m., at the Port St. Joe Fire Station and continue to 11:00 a.m. Lancaster said state Civil Defense officials will be in Gulf County for the exercise which will include all personnel on the disaster team as well as govern- ment officials. The exercise will include an examina- tion of all disaster tools and equipment as well as a test of the preparedness of the personnel. Lancaster said the test is a periodic examination of the county pro- gram by state and federal officials to see if the county is properly utilizing furnished materials as well as maintaining an.- operative force. Two Arrested As Theft Suspects Two men--one from Port St. Joe and another from Apalachicola- have been charged as suspects in break- ing into the office of Dr.'Joe Hendrix here in Port St. Joe and Buzzett's Pharmacy in Apalachicola for the purpose of stealing drugs. Shortly before one a.m., Monday morning, Port St. Joe City Police discovered that the office of Dr. Joseph P. Hendrix on Williams Ave- Suspect Arson In Auto Fire Gulf County Sheriff's De- partment officials believe a late model sedan owned, by Chester Gant of 405 Main Street was deliberately set on fire Monday night. The car was parked at the St. Joe Bowling Lanes Mon- day night while Gant and some friends were bowling. At about 9:00 p.m., the sedan was seen burning furiously. Sheriff's investigators Frank McKeithen and Jim Buchanan said it appeared as if a flammable substance had been poured over the hood and trunk of the car and set fire. nue had been broken into. Meanwhile deputies were dispatched to search for a suspicious vehicle that had been observed in the vicinity earlier that evening. At three a.m., Deputy Jimmy Wil- liams discovered'the vehicle and two white males in a wooded area between Niles Road and Highway 98. Thomas Allen Humphrey of Port St. Joe and Richard Darrell Johnson of Apalachi- cola were arrested and charged with the burglary of Dr. Joe's office. A search of the area where the subjects were apprehended produced a large quantity of narcotics and drug paraphernalia which were traced to an ear- lier break-in of Buzzett's Drug Store in Apalachicola. The two subjects were sub- sequently charged with pos- session of Schedule II, III and IV narcotics and face addi- tional charges in Franklin County. Sheriff Raymond Lawrence noted-that a cooperative ef- fort between Port St. Joe police officers, Gulf County deputies, and Franklin Coun- ty deputies helped to wrap up this case in such a short period of time. J. Reginald Daniel Church Sets Revival Evangelist J. Reginald Daniel will conduct a revivl- crusade at the Highland'View Church of God, beginning March 14 through March 16. The young minister was a missionary in Germany for three years and he will be-re lating some of his experi- ences there. He will feature a few songs in the German lan- guage.

SHowAbout Tomorrow Proof that government doesn't know what to do about inflation or recession is being shown to us every day during these financially troubled times. While states, counties and ci- ties are paring their spending to come within the money available the U.S. government is merrily wheeling along trying to spend as much as they can whether they have it or not. A case in point is our local governments here in Gulf County, all of which have taken steps to cut spending and the State of Florida cutting back on its spending while the United States has set a goal of going into debt by $t2 billion and feverishly making plans to go even further into debt. Then we could ask the question, "What Lre you doing about reces- sion? Are you making plans to go A downstate legislator has proposed a bit of belt tighten- ing-and bullet biting for the Legislature itself. We like the idea Rep. John Clark, a Lake- laifdl Democrat, suggests shit sessions of about 30 dayi in even-numbered years to :consider only state appro- priitions and finance and taidtion to supply the funds. 'then, the Legislature wod6d meet in odd-numbered yekAs for the regular 60 days to consider all other state law matters. The idea itself is not new. Butf.975 is the time for legis- lative leaders to give it more tha; a casual glance, for this is aitime of cutbacks and re- trejihment in most state agencies. deeper into debt or are you trying your best to live within your means? What would you have your government do--go further into debt or do as you must do?" Either the local of national gov- ernments are goirg about this thing wrong. If deficit"`4pending is the answer, the state, the counties and cities must change their ways and get into the swing of things and help right our finihcial boat faster without depending on the federal government to t~ke care of the whole smelly canof worms. If the local governments are correct in their approach, the federal gov- ernment should qdit borrowing and spending as if there is no tomor- row. There is a tomorrow, you know, and tomorrow those borrowed bil- lions must be paid back. The Legislature, with 600 full-time employees and per- haps a hundred or so extra for the annual sessions, has been the fastest growing part of Florida's government. Its expenses for the current year will run near $30 million. State tax revenue, for the first time in more than a generation, is showing a de- cline from the previous year-a decline, not just the familiar lessening of rate of increase that came with prior recessions. The Askew ad- minsitration is preparing a budget recommendation for the 1975 session that-is. ex- pected to reflect this lack of increase in anticipated state revenue. That recommenda- tion will be made public before fore long. Rep. Clark points to num- erous savings in government work-some of which maybe can also be translated into actual savings of dollars-- if his plan for legislative ses- sions is adopted: Some of them have real merit. First, Florida would go back to a two-year budget which gave way in 1969 to annual budgets written by the annual regular sessions of the Legislature. In every big state agency there are staffs of workers who spend most or all their time preparing budget matters for legislative committees or members, or, particularly, for those large staffs of permanent employ- ees hired by most standing legislative committees. Even before one annual budget goes into effect each July 1, the agency workers are PAGE TWO POSTOF ICE BOX306 PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA 32 Bell-BottoyA i Pants Horn Herialded First b Curb Se vice by CIIARLIE WEBB, Our -first curb service busi- ness in town had its begin- ning at a drug store when a man curbed up.in front of the store in a new Model-T car and sounded his magneto horn for the store owner to com eout and see the beauty of the car. Later, most all car owners with their families would lark at the store. The Model-T ignition,sys- tem had a series, of little wood boxes, called units, which required frequent ad- justments of the working parts. Among the curbed cars at the drug store there was always an expert unit adjust- er and his only charge for,. such services was a free set-up from the drug stor e, consisting of a vanilla iilk gathering information fcjr the next. Clark commented, "This has been the greatest disad- vantage of annual sessions the loss of productivity (of state agencies) in o their areas to the budget processs" lie is correct in this. Second, a big 'saving would be the bobtailed; annual ses- sion on finance of 30 days instead of 60.

After all, "bureaucratic fat" creeps in- to legislative budgets just as it does all other public agency operations. House Speaker Don Tucker and Senate President Demp- sey Barron have already cut out a lot of this overstaffing. But they didn't eliminate all of it, and the eyes of other budget cutters could quickly discover non-essential costs still there. Clark's bill ought to get a fair and thorough examina- tion, for it has a lot to recom- mend it in this time of belt tightening. The ending of the curb parking each day was a walk around among the curbed cars. The men would ex- change bits of spark plug news, the ladies would enjoy looking at each others beau- tifiul, home-millered hats, while the young men would admire the young ladies in the popular V-cut white mid- die blouses, worn at that time period. The foung ladies would en- joy seeing the young men walking by in bell-bottom blue, sailor pants. There was much beauty seen during the curb parking at the drug store in the long ago. May we each observe the beauty in everyone that we meet today. The beauty that we see could be a glimpse of the warmth and reality of our own wonderful inward beauty, while the confusion that'we see in others could be the coldness of our own con- fusion.

Many Hospitals Affected Florida Recipient Of Released Federal Funds TALLAHASSEE More than forty hospitals, clinics, and other medical facilities throughout the state will soon receive a share .of the $12.5 million in federal funds for modernization, altera- tions and expansion that have been held up for about two years after impound- ment by former President Richard M. Nixon. Officials of Florida's De- partment of Health.and Re- habilifative Services (HRS) said the funds were already committed and would be made available to previously approved projects that range from $600,000 grants to the County Health Center in Rockledge, Jackson Memor- ial Hospital in Miami, and Florida Manor in Orlando to modest $12,420 grants to Soutel, Oceanway and Bald- win Clinics in Jacksonville. The list includes six grants for a half-million dollars each in areas throughout the state. Secretary O. J. Keller of HRS said the release of funds, formerly known as Hill-Burton grants, would spur building activity throughout the state and provide employment in related trades. "Many of these facilities' expansion and moderniza- tion plans have been una- voidably delayed awaiting release of these funds," Keller stated, "and in many areas the medical services to Floridians have suffered as a result" Bureau Chief Art Forehand of HRS' Commun- ity Medical Facilities said the grants were mostly for hospital modernization and for expansion of out-patient treatment capability since Florida already has enough in-patient hospital beds in most areas. Forehand's Bureau is responsible under federal and state laws for determin- ing needs and setting priori- ties for medical facilities in Florida. The Bureau also acts as a conduit in channel- ing funds to these projects under the Federal Health Planning Act. "Another aid to medical facilities that is channeled through the Bureau", Forehand stated, "is the guaranty loan and interest subsidy program. Our 1975 allocation has not been finalized but we will be announcing it when Congress acts on appropriations." For Ambulance Call 227-2311 I Fight Weeds With Animals Hydrilla, a plant introduced to Florida waters from Indo- nesia offers the worst threat to the state's waters and lakes, Dr. Alvah B'urkhalter told the Port St. Joe Rotary Club last Thursday. "The menace faced from the water hyacinth is minor compared to the hydrilla and the Eura- sian water milfoil", Burkhal- ter said. "The state of Florida has spent millions trying to com- bat these three weeds and to date only the water hyacinth has succumbed to manipula- tion", Burkhalter said. The other weeds are poisoned and mowed but they come right back. Water hyacinths are controllable by manipulation of water depths such as has recently begun at the Dead Lakes'in Wewahitchka. The speaker said the De- partment of Natural Resour- ces has recently focused its attention toward biological control of the milfoil and hydrilla. It has been found that no natural diseases or pests exists in the United States which attack these water weeds, since the weeds came from another continent. Recently a beetle has been found which attacks the hya- cinth. It attacks the root of the plant and destroys it. The much-publicized white amur seems to be the answer to controlling the hydrilla. The fish eats only the foliage of the plant and has been known to spawn in only two places in the world outside its native China. The fish grows to a weight of about 60 pounds over a period of nine to ten years and is used in some countries to control wa- ter weeds and for food after it matures. Burkhalter said the fish eats only the top of the plant which will grow again. But a continued population of the amur in the body of water' witl'ikeep the-weed'cicntrolled.,.g The'"tate executive sfid it is now costing the state around $200 to $300 per acre to mow the weeds and costs only $15 to $20 per acre to use the amur as a controlling measure. The club inducted Harold Quackenbush as a new mem- ber. Guests included Robert Montgomery, Tom Coldewey and Jerry Sullivan. Other Editors Say: Calls for Bullet Biting Port St. Joe received some publicity in the Panama City News-Herald Sunday morning. ,Both the history and the present state of things were explored by the article. By and large, the item was complimentary, but there were a few things we disagreed with. For instance, I must disagree with my friend, the Mayor; Frank Pate. -The article reported him as saying (and he could have been mis-quoted) that the town hadn't grown in 20 years that there was less business houses here now than 20 years ago. Twenty years ago, there -was only a scant half dozen houses south of 16th Street. Now half the population of the city lives south of Itth Street and there are no vacant houses for rent. This means substantial growth. As for the business population, Ican count at least 13 new business houses which have been built within the past 20 years, in addition to the expansions and improvements which have been made. Consider your plight, today, if you planned to go into business. Where would you put it in the business area of Port St. Joe? If it wouldn't be compatible with the old Wimberly Pontiac or Creech Laundry building, you would have to pitch a tent, since these are the only buildings vacant in the business district. There are two which are rented as storage which may be vacated, but they are not vacant. As usual, some of those interviewed took their slam at the town and asked that their names not be mentioned. One who had moved from here said her young sons would "go up the wall" for nothing to do here in Port St. Joe. She has been gone a long time. A kid who is hunting something constructive to do hardly has time to stay home if he participates in all which is available to him, We don't have a, movie theatre, which we desperately need, btrt we have playgrounds galore along with or- ganized and spontaneous activities which ',will keep anybody busy who wants to be. I go along with Chief "Buck" Griffin. It's a good place to live. We may not have the hustle and bustle of city life, but we can still '.valk on the sidewalks after dark. Padlocks aren't the hottest selling item in town nor are thc. jails full of murderers, rapists, perverts, etc. Port St:. TJ6he :is a clean town_, with well landscaped homes, beautiful ch'jrches, fine buildings, public buildings which would be the envy of larger places and the friendliest people on earth. And, too, the people of Port St. Joe get together and get things 'done when they want to see something acconr polished. Our. forrier Mayor, ..:J3e Sharit,. had a saying which I have adopted d. "There are three highways leading into Potf, St. Joe. If there are those who canit: stand it I lere, those roads also www% 0 ~-lCVown OW4 9%0*410~h ^<^ ETAOIN SHRDLU by WESLEY t. RAMSEY 1 - hjQ ~I ,P will accept travellers going in the opposite direction." Last Thursday, Mrs. Bob Ellzey came in the office and said, "Le'e (their son) picked up the paper today and said, 'What's happened to The Star?' ". No dou bt you asked the same question and if you didn't you're not very cognizant of changes being made around you. What happened was that we received delivery of a second computer photographic typesetter last week which had some new type faces on it. Our new machine sets larger type for the paper such as goes into the headlines and ad "guts". Since we changed to offset in our printing method two years ago we have had one computer typesetter, but its sizes of type were limited u'p to about three eighths inch in height. Too, changing type faces and sizes took a good bit of time and setting the larger type tied up our machine for setting the smaller "reading matter" type. Before/you say we are contradicting our editorial o' this week with making purchases in these trifing times, we must tell you the machine/was ordered seven months ago when times were good. We just received delivery two weeks ago today. Before we received the machine you wouldn't believe the way we were setting up the 'larger type which goes into the paper each we('k. In this offset business, you must have a proof of the type to be used. In the old hot rr etal system, we used the type slug itself to r~rint from. We have no slugs now. If we use slugs, we must put them on a letter press and pull a proof before it can be used. This is what we were doing before the new machine arrived. Our new machine sets type from a quarter inch to an inch in height. It saves us a good deal of time and gives us a better looking product. Newspapers printed from hot metal aren't the only thing which is bowing out to change. Recently I learned that there was no more linoleum being made. Most anyone 30 years of age, and many of a more tender age, can remember the linoleum rug which graced e ;every'-kitchen.floor, A few. years-baeky it was an unusual kitehe6Aivhi&h .didn^ liave, linolium on the floor. The vinyl floor material and tile have spelled the doom of the linoleum rug. Just last week I read that the last manufacturer of top hats has quit. No more top hats. What will politicians and entertainers do for a high silk hat now? I suppose, the demise of the linoleum rug and the top hat will make collectors' items of these two familiar parts of the past.

Edenfleld County Forester Don't laugh. The idea of using wood alcohol to power autos and supply home heat- Snooker Play Winners Named The Second Annual Snooker Pool Tournament was spon- sored by St. Joe Bar recently. .First place honors )which in- cluded a trophy and record player) went to Punk Ste- vens. Joe Britt won second place trophy. He also scored the highest, 76, and won a shirt for his efforts. Third place trophy went to Ed Wynn. The record player and shirt were donated by Sears Cata- log Store. The management of St. Joe Bar extends itst thanks for everyone's participation. ing fuel isn't exactly new-or unheard of. . Because wood alcohol (or methanol) is made from re- sin which comes from ordi- nary trees, it is encouraging to see that scientists are ex- ploring its worth as a serious energy source, at last. National television pro- grams and a host of news stories have recently touted resin fuel as a good energy solution. Iri Maine, the energy offi- cials are installing a pilot plant which would supply wood alcohol to be used in state-owned vehicles and for heating state buildings. Their idea, isn't original. Both the Japanese and Germans turn- ed to .methanol during World Waf II to divert pertroleum for use as aviation fuel. The source of Maine's wood alcohol would come from mil- lions of acres of diseased timberland. Florida is the home of the slash pine tree and the high- gum yield slash pine, as is Georgia. Discovery of a tech- nique to increase the produc- tionof resin in pines by 20 per cent was recently noted by scientists at the U. S. Forest Service's Southeast Forest Experiment Station at Olus- tee, Florida. The two findings, concur- rent with each other, could insure the American public of a "renewable source" of fuel that is both cheap and plenti-, ful. - How clean-burning is methyl alcohol? This question must have occurred to many readers and viewers, who feel they are being "hoaxed" by pub- licity on manure and sea- weed-powered contrivances. And now tar pine! The Division of Forestry, Florida Department of Agri- culture and Consumer Ser- vices, has been encouraged by reports they have received and intend to pursue the *:matter. Six automobiles owned by California's University of Santa Clara have been run- ning on methanol and gaso-- line for several months. In spite of claims by oil industry officials that methanol is in- efficient and corrosive to- auto engines, the six test cars are reported operating with improved efficiency. According to one news arti- cle,-Thomas B. Reed of MIT's energy laboratory, said he has driven 22,000 miles in his 1969 Toyota and 13,000 miles in a Ford subcompact using a 10 per cent methanol blend- gas. A 15 per cent blend of methanol with gasoline can be used in regular automo- biles. However, when more than 30 per cent methanol is used, the two fuels tend to separate. Fuel system modi- fications must be made to tolerate the added methanol. Several studiess have point- ed up one surprising fact- that normal engines can use a methanol-supplemented gas fuel. They get increased oc- tane, longer mileage ands lower smog emissions! Could you call that another tribute to man's arch-friend and provider, the tree! TO BUY? TO SELL? ;' RESULTS? b ., -A Outdoor Writers SMeeting In Gulf SA committee has outlined 21 activities for the enjoyment of the Southeastern Outdoor Press Association, who will hold their annual meeting here in GulfCounty in April. The outdoor writers' group has chosen Gulf County over a: number of southeastern locations which extended an invitation to the Writers whose works are published in the major daily newspapers and in numerous periodicals covering the region. Jesse Stone, chairman of the Gulf County Golden Anniversary Commission, the spon- soring organization, recently compiled a list of activities in. which the writers may participate. Activities include every activity which could appeal to outdoorsmen in this area, including even a deer hunt on the Box R SRanch, where deer are kept in a protected -.-environment. The outdoorsmen must use only cameras in their hunt, however. Other activities planned include deep sea fishing, a tour of the Peninsula, and a fish fry as well as many other activities. The writers will gather in Port St. Joe on April 24 and stay through April 27. They will not be bored as a tight schedule of activities has been arranged for every minute they are here. Even the nights are active, since a night-time trip aboard a working shrimp boat has been arranged. The Chamber of Commerce will host the writers Saturday night at a dinner. Activities arranged for the writers include fresh water fishing, deep sea fishing, a tour of the Peninsula, fish fries, shrimping, etc. In addition, arrangements have been made to make facilities available for the visitors to enjoy golf, tennis, bowling, swimming, scalloping, trap shooting and a dance while they are the guests of Gulf County. . The writers have been offered .the use of the boys camp on Black's Island as a place to hold their week end convention. in his jail. Dr. Weathington explained he was in Port St. Joe only a half day each week-hardly Seeking Contest' Beauties Any young lady who will be 18 years old or graduated from high school by June 6, but not more than 22 years old by that date, and is inter- ested in entering the "Miss Gulf County Beauty Page- ant," is requested to contact Patsy Cooley at 227-2416 be- fore five p.m. and 229-5241 after five p.m. You may also contact either Merlene Tra- wick at 229-6606 or Juawana Combs at 229-3356.

He'went on to point out that the primary purpose of the Health De- portment was the control of pestilence, not medical prac- tice. "A few years back we had problems from diphtheria, smallpox, polio, scarlet fever, etc. The Health Department is concerned with keeping these diseases a thing of the past and is our prime reason for existence", Dr. Weathing- ton said. More recently their duties have expanded into the fields of health education mostly involved with family planning and venereal di- seases. OTHER BUSINESS In other business the Com- mission: -Accepted a bid of $7,905 to furnish the Road Depart- ment with a sloping attach- ment for one of the county graders. Commissioner Silas Player opposed the purchase saying he thought this was a time to economize, not spend more money. -Told building inspector E. F. Gunn, the program of building inspection would be- gin just as soon as forms could be prepared to admin- ister the process of applica- tions and inspection. -Took under advisement a request by Roy Rowan to abandon two undeveloped roads in the Chipola Cut-Off Subdivision. -Heard words .of compli- ments from B. M. Janowski for their stand on opposing the purchase of St. Joseph's Peninsula by the State of Florida. Janowski also comp- plimented the Mosquito Con- trol Department, for their work in controlling dog flies on the beaches. -Agreed to call for bids on furnishing the county with liability comprehensive in- surance. |. n t LAWN MOWER SRON'S REPAIR SERVICE All Types Mowers 227-8716 J Jones Homestead Ward Ridge DRIVING RANGE Ward Ridge-Next to Radio Station 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. 2:00 to 5:30 p.m. SPECIAL LADIES DAY Mon., Wed., Fri. mornings Bucket of Balls 50c For Sale: Big Boy tomato and sweet banana pepper plants, complete planting in- structions given with each order.

More than nine out of ten jobs are covered by social security. People applying for a social security number for the first time may be asked to prove their age, identity and citizen- ship.

FLORIDA WILDLIFE \. COMMENTS ON THE OUTDOORS D Or. O. E. Fry.e Jr. Director GAME AND FRESH WATER FISH COMMISSION Omm*'- "They shoot anything that moves." You've heard that phrase before. It's a catch-all state- ment. By prodding.the un- suspecting non-hunter into believing a sportsman knows nothing about wildlife, another environmentally con-. scious person is cheated out of a rewarding outdoor ex- perience. Let's take a good look at the facts. A true hunter-sportsman, besides being a woodsman, is a successful part-time bio- logist. Take a dedicated duck hunter. To most people who dab- - ble with environmental issues a duck is, well, just a plain ole' duck. To duck hunters ducks come in approximately 17 species, most good hunt- , ing prospects. Each one has different characteristics dis- tinguishing it from another. Colorful patches or speculums on the wings, whether, he quacks or whistles or how the duck rides in water are all clues expert duck hunters must learn to bring the birds to the table, but the biology lesson doesn't stop here. Setting the blind is an- other skill practiced by the expert. You'll find him out before sunrise or in late after- noon scouting the area vegetation looking for the right foliage to blend with Natural surroundings. If it's puddle ducks he's after he'll build the blind near inland marshes. For diving ducks he knows the spot's in deeper waters, but wherever it is one cattail out of place or "a distracting move can send a flock of ducks whistling out of range. "But what about other sportsmen," you say. Sure, this goes for the deer hunter right on down to the week-end quail shooter. All sportsmen talk about "sure- fire" ways of bagging game, but it took outing after out- ing and a love for the out- doors before the sport paid off. That big buck hunter who spots tracks instantly when others would walk on by, or the turkey specialist who chooses td hit the woods on' Thanksgiving morning to stalk the big bird rather than buy one from the store; they're all biologists of a sort. ' Of course, we're not say- ing the hunter-sportsman is a scientist in the purest form, but what the sportsman does experience by sitting long .hours in a duck blind or stalking through the hard- woods on a cool fall morning is an education that can't be learned from an hour tele- vision special or an editorial news column. With valuable game habitat falling to development cor- porations and anti-hunting sentiment pressuring would- be sportsmen, maybe it's time to let the sportsman-hunter "speak his piece." He's heard ducks whistling overhead and seen the white- tailed deer flagging its way through slash pines. Let the sportsmen's experiences tell the real story.

PETERSBURG, FL. The Vietnam Era Veter- ans Readjustment Assistant Act of 1974, now extends re- employment rights to.veter- ans who held jobs with state or local governments as well as others says W. B. Mack- all, Director of the State of ,Florida's Division of Veter- ans Affairs under the De- partment of Community Af- fairs. Veterans who held state or local government jobs before military service, are now sure of federal assistance in obtaining their old jobs back. This Act gives the Labor De- partment authority to en- force those reemployment rights. In general, the em- ployer is required to rein- state veterans in the positions they would have occupied if they had stayed on their jobs rather than go into service. Reemployment rights also protect the veteran against loss of sen- iority due to military service and seniority or length of service often determine job assigAments, pay status, vacation or other benefits. In addition Mackall said, the law provides job protect- "ion and anti-discrimination protection to the employees who leave their position to perform training duty.with the Reserves or National Guard. Now, veterans who worked for state or local govern- ments and who were separated from the armed services on-or after December 3, 1974, can take up the reemployment rights problems with the Office of Veterans Reemployment Rights in the Labor Manage- ment Services Administra- tion: If necessary, the Office can at the request of the veteran, through the Depart- ment of Justice, seek court action to enforce reemploy- ment rights. If you have any.questions - regarding the above or any veteran matter, contact either your local County Vet- eran Service Office, any office of the Veterans Ad- ministration or write Mackall at Post Office Box 1437, St. Petersburg 33731 (including your Veterans Administration Claim number, Service Serial number or date of birth). .II I-I : N ews.

Many changes have been made to keep the Girl Scout program timely and avail- able to all girls through the years. But, the principles on which Girl Scouting is based-honesty, fairness, and respect for oneself and others have remained constant. From its beginning, Girl Scouting has helped millions of girls to grow into resource- ful women. To highlight this year's Girl Scout Week, March ,9-15, Girl Scouts across the country in- vited all citizens to "Grow With Us." They ask you to work in partnership with them as they prepare for leadership roles. They ask you to join their conservation efforts, their work with han- dicapped people, senior citi- zens, the migrant commun- ity, and hundreds of other co- operative community service projects. Whether six or 60, say the Girl Scouts, "Grow With Us" and have fun doing it. On this, the 63rd anniver- sary of their founding, the Girl Scouts and their leaders are today reaffirming the spiritual foundation upon which Girl Scouting is based. Get Recreation Vehicles In Shape for Summer Fim As signs of spring appear many fishermen and campers take to Florida's highways and the Florida Highway Patrol reminds drivers to give boat and camper trailers a close safety check before summer use. Patrol Commander Colonel Eldrige Beach said, "Boat and camper trailers that .have not been used for sev- eral months should be given special attention. Safety check all equipment to insure safe operation." The Patrol emphasized that the law requires trailers to have the following equipment in good working order: tail- lights and stop lights, two red reflectors, white license tag light, turn signals and safety chains connected to the tow- ing vehicle. While not re- quired, a spare tire and a jack can keep you from hav- ing to leave your boat and trailer on the side of the road if you have a flat tire. "When pulling a trailer, drivers should allow more room for turning, changing lanis. and passing. Following, distances should also be in- cre'ised game and 310 series.
