Rashof Wrecks


SNorthwest Florida has been
plagued (or blessed) with
Several hard rains during:the
past few weeks, with hardly
any repercussions from it
here in Port St. Joe other
than some sloppy weather
and its discomforts.
Tuesday, a small drizzling
"shower-came"nup and a differ-
ern story resulted. Three
automobile crashes within a
span of an hour and 15
minutes on Monument Ave-
nue, kept- police hopping
making accident investiga-
tions for most of the after-
noon. Two of the accidents
occurred at the intersection
of Third Street and Monu-
ment, and the ,third Was at
the Fifth Street intersection
on Monument.
The first smash-up hap-
pened at 3:25 p.m.; when
Mrs. Agnes Marie Davis of
Oak Grove pulled out into the
intersection in the path of an
automobile driven by Mrs.
Eara Bouie of 301 Avenue A,
according to police records.
Patrolinan Howard Rogers
said Mrs. Davis stopped at
the stop sign, then pulled into
the intersection. Officer Rog-
ers estimated damages at
$650.00 to both vehicles.
Exactly 30 minutes later, in
the same location, just as the
officers were putting up-their
investigating paraphernalia,
two more cars smacked to-
gether, causing an estimated
$350.00 damages.
Assistant police chief Roy


Robinson said Debra Rene
Lee of 105 Second Street was
.travelling South on Monu-
ment.. followed by- David
Richard Walker of Mexico
Beach. Mrs. Lee came to a
stop for, oncoming traffic
while signalling a left turn.
Walker's brakes- skidded' on
the -'et pavement and 'his--
vehicle plowed into the rear

It's election time in the
City of Port .St. Joe, with
three seats on the City Com-
mission to be decided on May
13. Commission seats now
held by Tom S. Coldewey,
Bob Holland and Mayor
Frank Pate will be on the
ballot.
According to City Clerk
Charles Brock, candidates for
the'positions have until April
23 to pay their qualification
fees to seek election. Candi-


dates must be free-holders in
the City.
/
Brock said only one candi-
'date has qualified to date to
seek office. Robert Mont-
gomery has filed his papers
to seek election to the office
of Mayor-Commissioner.
No indication has been
given by any of the incum-
bents as to whether or not
they intend to seek re-elec-
tion.


Three Burglary Cases Are Solved


Three burglary cases under
investigation by the Gulf
County Sheriff's Department.
were solved recently result-
ing in the arrest of two per-
sons. Sheriff Raymond Law-.
renqe noted that these cases
were solved by using the lat-
est scientific police methods'
and plain old leg work and
perserverance.
'Timothy Morning of Port
St. Joe is lodged in the Gulf


county Jail and charged with
the breaking: and entering of
a pickup truck in, the Apa-.
lachicola Northern Railroad's
employees' parking lot and
taking a shotgun from the
vehicle.
'A male juvenile of Ft. Wal-
ton was arrested and has
been released on bond for the
breaking and entering of the
Wewahitchka Drugstore on
the third of December last


year and again on the 18th of
January this year.
Fingerprints and other phy-
sical evidence gathered at
the scenes of these crimes
was processed by Sheriff's
Department investigator Jim
Buchanan and in conjunction
with the laboratories and
identification section of the
Florida Division of Law En-
forcement made it possible to
bring the cases to a conclu-


sion and arrest of the sub-
jects charged.
The recent addition of a full
time crime scene technician
and the mobile crime scene
unit to the Sheriff's Depart-
ment is expected to produce
more in the way of positive
solutions and detection of any
criminal activity in the coun-
ty. Other cases now -uhder
investigation are expected to
be concluded at any time.


Sherri Raffield Winner


In Gulfs First Spelling Bee


SPELLING BEE CONTESTANTS-left to
right, Sherri Raffield, Chris Helms, Donna


Bailey, Debbie Walburn, Laurie Smith. Coor-
dinator, Marion Craig is in the rear.


Sherri Raffield spelled "pious", then
went on to spell "knuckle" to win the first
annual Gulf County Spelling Bee, held last
Friday morning at the Port St. Joe High
School.
Participants in the bee were the five
winners from sixth grade and combined
seventh and eighth grade classes in the five
schools in the County.
Miss Raffield, a seventh grader at Port
St. Joe High, and Chris Helms, an eighth
grader of Wewahitchka High, spelled word
after word for about 20 minutes, before
Helms stumbled on the word "pious". Sherri
had to spell the work correctly and then
spell another word correctly before .taking
the championship. The other word was
"knuckle".
Sherri will now go to Jacksonville to
compete in the District meet. The winner of
the District will go to Washington,. D.C. to
compete in the national spelling bee. The
spelling competition is being sponsored in
North Florida by the Florida Times-Union of
Jacksonville.
FIVE COMPETING.
The contest started at 10:15 with five
contestants. Donna Bailey represented High-
land View sixth grade and finished third in


the competition. Debbie Walburh represent-
ed Wewahitchka sixth graders and Laurie
Smith represented Port St. Joe sixth grad-
ers. The words were called out by Marion
Craig, seventh grade instructor at Port St.
Joe' High and coordinator for the spelling
bee.
HARD WORDS
Although the match was won with a
comparatively simple word, the spellers
were given some rough words for sixth,
seventh and eighth graders to spell. Some of
the words were: "adversity", "fractious",
"elasticity", "behest", "ambulance", etc.
While, the match started at 10:15, it
wasn't over until nearly 11:00 a.m. Both the
finalists were at each other for nearly a half
hour, with each missing a couple words
each. While they spelled the harder words,
they had trouble with such words as
"loam". The contest was prolonged by the
rule that the winner had to spell the word
his opponent missed, plus another word.
While the bee wasn't like a game of
football or basketball, the spectators felt the
excitement and tension as a speller missed a
word, or spelled a particularly difficult word
correctly.
According to the coordinator of the
program, Marion Craig, the bee Friday was
the first of what is to be an annual event.


In a letter to the Commis-
sion, read at the regular City
Commission meeting Tues-
day night, EPA says the City.
must construct an outfall line'
from the plant into St. Joseph
Bay, rather than turn the'
plant's outfall, which is 90
percent pure water, into the
Gulf County Canal. The out- -
fall is presently going into the'
Canal approximately a half-:
mile from where the Canalf
empties into St. Joseph Bay.
The Atlanta, Ga., office of
EPA says the City must
make other arrangements
since, "periodic depressed-
oxygen levels are below re-
quirements."
Anticipating such a move
by EPA, the City has been-
making, and .keeping a log of
daily water samples, above
and below the outfall line, for"
the past two years, in order'
to back up their claim that"
the plant effluent does not
adversly affect the water and'
its purity.
Commissioner Tom Colde:
wey said, "Samples taken"
regularly show the quality of::
water below the outfall is
better than that above the
line coming into the Canal."
Coldewey said the water
from the plant is more pure
than the brackish water com-
ing down the canal to. the
Gulf.
., Plant. manager ,Bob.,SimQon
told th-e Commissios n i hi oit--
fice has extensive records of'
tests made over the months
and years, even before the
plant started operation.
"We have found only two
instances when the oxygen
content was low, and it was
barely below standards set
by EPA at-those times",
Simon said. "The low oxygen
count was found before the
plant went into operation, so
it couldn't have been caused
.by the plant effluent. The
oxygen count has been right
up where it should be since
operation began", Simon
said.
EPA's charges are based-
.on records kept the City and

sent to the Florida'Depart-
ment of Pollution Control.
Simon said the adverse
sample taken before the plant
began operation could very
well be a bad sample or an
incorrect analysis, since it
occurred on only one day;
two at the most.
The estimated cost of ex-
tending the outfall line into
the Bay was in the neighbor-
hood of a million to 1/2
million dollars two years ago.
"No telling what it would be
today", Mayor Frank Pate
said.
The City Commission de-
cided Tuesday night to get its
records together and oppose
the order of EPA, claiming
they have spent enough mon-
ey on the project which is
doing what it should do to
protect the environment.
WANTS MONEY
In related action, David B.
Smith, engineer for the plant
project is asking the City for
an additional $17,000 in fees
he says were incurred by his
firm in extra work on cor-
recting several deficiencies
at the plant. The Commission
is reluctant to pay the
charges since they feel some
of the extra work was caused
by improper design.
The Commission appointed
a committee of Mayor Frank
Pate, attorney William J.
Rish and Clerk Charles Brock
to meet with Smith arn re-
solve the reason for some of
the extra charges made be-
fore payment is made.
Plant manager Bob Simon
reported in another related
item that a deep well pump
had gone out at the plant,
"We took the pump to the
manufacturer's representa-
tive in Orlando and were told
it was the wrong pump for
the volume of water being

Erosion of (


.. First Step (


.:: Again this week we go to the
: weekly newsletter published by
S;Congressman Bob Sikes for our
.e.ieditorial material.
SSikes, in his most current' epis-
.le, had a good .deal to say about
.-how the communists are rooting, us
='ibut of every hemisphere but our
.| wn and are beginning to make
,tLheir presence known even here.
5'A As the veteran lawmaker put
Rtt, the dispute over Cyprus will:
=i;irobably rob us of bases in Turkey
island Greece and weaken our al-
r.-.&eady deteriorating position in the
IjMediterranean; communist activity
FEi:n troubled Portugal will more than
iiikely cause us to be kicked off the
lflAzores; the communists have man-
-Iaged to hang on longer than we and
oot us ou outheast Asia.
Now our presence in our own
partt of the globe is being threaten-
Lped in Cuba and Panama.
SIn Cuba, of course, we see a
':movement emerging to recognize
the Castro government. Sikes says
:. this is the dream of some Congress-
:".mnen and some citizens even though
:-'Castro took over all American
-: interests in Cuba without a penny
-. being paid their owners. Sikes sur-
"mises the price of recognition will
Sbe the surrender of Guantanamo.
Already the Russians are prevalent
:;in, the Caribbean, and with the loss
::of Guantanamo the Caribbean
'?":would no longer be an American
: lake.

Confidence


of Defeat


SIn Panama, it seems as if the
theme is to give the Panamanians
the Panama Canal. Sikes says,
"This, in spite of the fact that
Communist'sympathizers are very
active in the Zone." Most everyone
remembers what happened to the
Suez Canal once the British relin-
quished ownership to the Egyp-
tians.
Now the point of this disserta-
tion. In order for-ie communists to
become so influential in these vital
areas they had to have people there
with the avowed intention of cap-
turing these facilities and areas for
the communists,,The only way they
could do it was to use every means
at their command' to erode public
confidence in the United States.
-The ".4dterrent we h ,e for
such clanestine operationriis the
CIA. Now do you get it? Here we
are in the United States trying to
whip up a movement to disband the
CIA which would dissolve the only
organization we" have which can
counteract the' special kind of
warfare the communists are wag-
ing foiS the strategic spots of the
world.
Would it be too far out to
assume that the communists are
also working ini this country to
undermine the confidence of the
public in the CIA just as they
undermined confidence in the U.S.
in other nations?


7I Ar


Hope to See More


It seems as if the Gulf County
School system is also making the
turn toward the emphasis of the
"Three R's" just as school districts
-all over the nation are doing.
-:Evidence of this was the spelling
-bee conducted here in Port St. Joe
-Friday among elementary and jun-
ior high students.
The competition won't stop
there. The winner of the bee,
Sherri Raffield, will go to Jackson-
ville to -compete in a state meet,
with the winner to go to Washing-
ton, D.C., to try for the national
championship.
To our knowledge, this has
never -been done in Gulf County
before. We applaud it now as being
one of the basics upon which
education is built. One has to be
Sable to spell, in order to be able to
-read and vice versa. A competent
speller and reader can read and
pronounce words they have never
seen or heard before. This, of
course, encourages the pupil to look
up the meaning of the new word
where he might just cast it aside as


being useless to his purpose, other-
wise. :4 .
Three of the five contestants
were sat down on mispelled words
pretty rapidly at the bee. It was to
their credit that they could spell as
well as they did in an era which
de-emphasized such basics. It was
also to the credit of the school that
sixth, seventh and eighth graders
could spell words as difficult as
those given in:' the competition
Friday. The evidence was there
that with a little more emphasis on
the basics, that we can have some
first class spellers and readers
coming out of Gulf County schools.
In our way of thinking, this will far
more prepare them to meet the
rigors of the future than will
allowing a student to pass from
grade to grade "because he is
adjusting".
We hope to see more of the
spelling bees in the future with
possibly a state or national cham-
pionship in the future. It isn't too
far-fetched to expect with the foun-
dation the youngsters showed Fri-
day.

Gas Pump Pioneer,


Post Masters


Important

by CHARLIE WEBB


Pioneer postmasters played
an important role in the comr;
munities And were respected
by all people. One of our first
gasoline pumps wasperated
by the postmasterfit'front of
the post office, which he
operated just like he did the
postage stamp business--
strictly for cash.
It was years later, before
we realized that gasoline
could be bought on credit,
when someone opened up a
station, equipped with a tin
turpentine cup for. dipping
water from a .wood tub for
the car radiator and a double
barreled,hand pump for in-
flating clincher rim tires.
Plus an expert for polishing
and bringing out'the beauty
in the finish of a car with a
home made mixture of gaso-
line and cylinder oil from a
soft drink bottle.
While waiting in the lobby
for the postmaster to sort out
the mail we would read the
year old government bulle-
tins, spotted around on the
lobby, wall..., Perhaps we
should have been interestedd
in the foreign excise tax bul-


letins, but our interest was


Collecting

Aluminum
Reynolds Aluminum will
bring its popular mobile
aluminum recycling unit to
the Fire' Station,' Ave. E
and Waters St. in Apalachi-
cola on Sundays, April 13 and
27 from 10 a.m. to one p.m.,
where the public will be paid
15 cents a pound for all-alum-
inum household scrap.
Paul Hayden, Reynolds'
regional recycling manager,
said the unit will operate at
that location to accept all-
aluminum scrap only. Hay-
den explained that Reynolds
is not equipped to handle
other metals.
Once the aluminum scrap
is collected, it is shredded
into chips. The chips are then
loaded onto boxcars and ship-
ped.to one of Reynolds smelt-
ing plants. Here the chips are
melted down and east into
aluminum ingots. Most of the
recycled aluminum is used in
the production of new bever-
age cans.
'Many 'ioups, clubs,
churches schools have
found aluminum recycling
programs excellefit methods
of raising funds and per-
forming a community service
through the anti-litter bene-
-fits," Hayden said.
One pounce of aluminum is
equivalent to approximately
23 cans.

America's high standard
of living today is making it
tough for people who are
status seekers.
Not too many years ago,
status' s'ymbols..were fairly
simple to define. For adults,
membership in the country
club and ownership of any
car above the "low priced
three" field, gave them auto-
matic status.
For the youngster up
through college age, owner-
ship of a 20 year old battered
car was his status symbol. In
high school, ownership of a
fairly new bicycle was his
symbol. The high school
juniors and seniors acquired
status if they were able to
borrow the family car once
or twice during the school
year.
But these status symbols
of former years are gone
today. Many middle class
families have membership
in the country club, or in
clubs with equal status. And
to get into medium price car
range, all you need is "$1,150
and 36' months."
On the college campuses,
cars by students have been
practically outlawed
because they were creating
such a problem. Even in high
school, the kids without a car
nowadays are almost social
outcasts.
The status symbols of
today are much more com-
plicated and varied than
those of yesteryear. A boat,
for instance, is not a status
symbol per se. It has to be so


feelings was to stand in the
lobby with good friends, en-
joying an occasional whiff of
good smelling train smoke,
and have the postmaster~icall
-.your natrie from a letteri-con-
taining a check from a fur
and hide company in pay-
ment for your last batch of
beeswax and hides. Perhaps
you may never hear a won-
derful pioneer postmaster
call your name within the en-
vironment of a small and
smoke filled lobby, but who-
ever calls your name does
you a great honor, because
your name is honorable and
is always you, regardless of
the environment.


large that a trailer won't
handle it. (Boats on trailers
can be found in every third
yard.)
:Swimming pools, once the
status symbols among even
the status seekers, today are
found in the backyards of
many subdivision homes.
About the only status at-
tached to a swimming pool
any more is having one
shaped like a kidney or one
with a high and low diving
board.
Ownership of a house isn't
worth anything in the status
department these days,.
unless you have one with 25
rooms built on a high hill. It
takes at least 3'2 bathrooms
(one with a sunken tub) to
put status in this category.
Not too many years ago
you acquired some status by
announcing matter-of-factly
that you had a phone call
from your tax accountant.
But today, anyone who
makes over $75 a week has to
have an accountant or he'll
wind up in the federal pen.
Time was when men who
wore neckties to work could
claim job status. Not any
more. State employes once
enjoyed status just because
they worked for the state.
Not any more.
This just isn't the era for
the status seeker. In fact,
things may be working in
reverse. The people who
seem to have more status
nowadays are the people who
don't have any status
symbols.


So Gerald Ford went ahead and signed the
tax rebate law. That means the Government is
going to send all of us a check this year with
money the government doesn't have. This also
means the government will have an even
larger balance in that account in which it
,doesn't have any money.
Everybody will then be happy. The gov-
ernment will be broker and we will be deluded
into thinking that we are not for a short time:
as long as the couple of hundred dollars lasts in
our pockets, anyhow.
What are you going to do with your rebate?
There isn't hardly enough to go on a trip. There
.is too much involved just to send the check
back,, even' though I had just as soon the
government keep mine. That way, I would not
have the agonizing decision of where to put a
couple of hundred dollars when there are so
many places it needs to go.
Since the government is going into debt to
send me my rebate, I hate to spend it
frivolously. Too, I don't know where I could
spend it to good advantage. It isn't hardly
enough to even start any serious buying
projects. That tax rebate is going to cause me
more problems trying to decide where to spend
it than it will cause the government in figuring
out how to pay it back or get it back out of
me next year.

Our preacher has been seriously ill for the
last two months. Sunday, he was back at the
church presiding, even though he wasn't doing
the preaching. His son brought the Easter
message at our church.
The preacher said he was going to have a
fine Easter since he had all his children, his
three in-laws and eight grandchildren at his
home for the week end.
Eight grandchildren in one house for the
week end. I don't have eight, but I have enough
to know that having all the grandchildren in the
house over a week end is no way to recuperate
from a serious illness.
Grandchildren are the best kind of children
ever. They are just as welcome as a rain after
a seven year drought, but they can be sent
,"home after a while when their boisterousness
overcomes your patience. ..
Poor preacher. Either the experience of all
his grandchildren will perk him up or will bring
on a relapse. In all likelihood, however, he will
probably have to get stirring in order to get
away from the racket for a few moments.
Come to think about it, maybe the visit from all
the grandchildren at one time will cause him to
get well and ambulatory in self defense.

The term, "smells like a goat" wasn't
unjustly thought up. It does the goat no
injustice at all. He is inclined to smell.
We found this out over the week end.
Saturday afternoon, I ran out to White City to
get something from my son, Willie, and he and
his father-in-law were butchering a goat. They
gave me a strip of the backbone and loin to
bring home. Fresh meat, for free!
When I came in the house and laid it on the
table, Frenchie cut her eyes partly sideways
and sort of defensively asked, "What's that".
"Goat", I said.
"I'm not going to cook that.stuff in my
house!". "What's the matter with it?" I asked.
Anyhow, I finally talked her into cooking it,
then wished I hadn't. A goat smells worse
cooking than he does on the hoof. The only
similar smell by which I can describe it would
be to tell you it smells something like
chitterlings cooking. During the course of the
stewing process, Frenchie managed to have
several errands she had to run and several
things she had to do outside.
After the goat had been boiled and put in
the oven with some barbecue sauce, I tried it.
It tasted pretty good, but the smell lingered on.
I don't really know if I will ever get it eaten or
not. One thing I do know; I'm not going to have
any help in this chore from the distaff side of
the house..

Sharks Win,


5-1 Over Wewa

Port St. :Joe's Sharks coasted to a 5-1 decision over
county rival Wewahitchka here last Thursday afternoon,
for their fifteenth win of the season against only two losses.
Sandy Sanborn started on the mound for the Sharks
and went four innings before he was relieved by Keef
Pettis.
The Gators picked up a scattered six hits and never
were a scoring threat after the first inning when they
pushed across their lone run. The Sharks, however, started
off slow and didn't hit one out of the infield until the their.
inning when Keef Pettis stroked a double with the bass
loaded, driving in two runs. The Sharks also scored in-the
first inning on a long sacrifice fly by Harland Haddock and
again in the fourth inning when a runner was walked in and
Wade Stoutamire hit a sacrifice fly. to score the Sharks'
fifth and final run.
Gortman started on the mound for Wewahitchka but
couldn't find his control. He was relieved in the third by
Ward.

For over 5,000 years, RX has sym-
bolized man's weapons against
disease. The ancient Egyptiahs
used the magic eye of Horus,
S God of Day, as a charm to guard
them against ills and suffering.
Centuries later, the eye reap-
peared in a form similar to our
"4" and evolved gradually into
its present RX. But your doctor
doesn't depend on Horus or
Jupiter...he relies on your Rexall
Pharmacist and the improved
drug products your pharmacist
stocks. You, too, can rely on
Rexall brand products.

company had lost subscribers

reason for the decline was
"the local newspaper in Apa-

who seems to take pleasure
in berating and abusing any
business interest in his com-
munity ."
The-speech was later mail-

A Franklin County juty ori-

NOTICE
Notice is hereby given that
the Board of County Com-
missioners of Gulf County,
Florida, will" consider the
adoption of an o ordinance with
,the following title, on the 8th
day of April, 1975, at its reg-
ular meeting at 9:00 o'clock
A.M., E.D.T. in the County
Commissioners Meeting
Room in the Courthouse in
Port St. Joe, Florida: An
Ordinance regulating the
hours of sale of alcoholic

tion programs, but we don't
need another costly federal
bureaucracy. With this bill
Congress is providing a pro-
cedure by which our country
can immediately start energy
conservation plans without
granting uncontrolled policy-
making powers to the Presi-
dent."
Under the provisions of
Title II of the bill, S. 622,
governors would have four
months from the effective
date of the act -to submit
proposed energy conservation
programs that would suit uni-
que local conditions as well
as meet national standards.
The Federal Energy Admini-
stration would have three
months to develop national
standards and guidelines.
In the meantime, the Presi-


dent would have authority to
initiate emergency measures.
Only if a state fails to pro-
pose, implement, or enforce
an acceptable state program
would the Federal Energy
Administration adopt a pro-
gram for that state.
"The bill proposes energy
conservation programs that
are appropriate for the very
different conditions which
prevail from one part of the
country to another," Sen.
Stone said. "This is a sensi-
ble approach which recog-
nizes the diversity of our
nation and the varying needs
of different states. I believe
this is a policy which will be
supported by the American
people."
The legislation also would
act to reduce reliance on


high-priced oil imported from
insecure sources, implement
U. S. obligations under inter-
national agreements to deal
with shortage conditions, and
give the President power to
take emergency actions in
case of a severe energy
crisis.

Pennants Flying On Bicycles
Can be A Life Saver Says FHP


Brightly colored flags or
pennants mounted atop poles
on bicycles can be a life saver
said the Florida Highway
Patrol this week.
Colonel Eldrige Beach,
Patrol director says. "With
the greatly increased, use of
bicycles, there is sure to be a
large increase in riders being
killed or injured unless
everything possible is done to
make bicycles safer."
The Patrol strongly urges
adults and children who ride
bicvles to make use of all
safety equipment available.
This includes flags, reflectors
for front, rear and sides,
pedal reflectors, headlights
and taillights.
Beach concluded by saying.
"With more bicyclists riding
in early morning darkness
due to the time change, the
chances of becoming involved
in a crash increases tremen-
dously. My advice to drivers
