City Receiving




Bids On Sewer




Rehab Projects


The regular meeting of the
Port St. Joe City 'Commission
was not held Tuesday night, as
regularly scheduled for sev-
eral reasons. The main reason
for postponing the meeting,
which will be held next Tues-
day, night, was to receive
sealed bids for the first phase
of the planned sewer system
rehabilitation work.
The City's engineers, Smith
and Gellispie of Jacksonville,
have notified the Commission
that bids for the first phase of
the project are returnable.
next Tuesday.
Included in the bids to be
taken into consideration next
week, include the rehabilita-
tion of the three main lift
stations in the City as well as
construction of a new force-
main trunk line.
Included in the project will
be a complete new lift station
at the corner of 16th Street and
Long Avenue. This station
collects sewage from the most
populated section of the City,
pumping 'it through a large
main to the sewage treatment'
plant. The station is now some
30 years old and is inadequate
in size as well as being aged.
Plans call for an under-
ground lift station, with some
of the machinery involved
placed in a building above
ground Plans call for enlarg-
ing the station considerable to
take care of the additional
load which has been thrown on
the site in the past several
years. The building above
ground will be in keeping with
the neighborhood structures,
which are dwelling houses.
The engineers say their design
will make the plant look like
just another family dwelling.
The new force-main instal-
lation will be a 12-inch pres-
sure main from the 16th Street
lift station to Avenue A where
it will connect to the main
trunk line leading to the
disposal plant. The new line
will augment the inadequate
main which now serves the
area. Engineers blame the
small line, designed to serve
far less people than it is now
serving, as the cause of many
sewer problems in the area.
The lift stations at First


Street and at the hospital are
due for some extensive re-
building, which will be cover-


ed under the bid next Tuesday.
All lift stations will be sup-

30 Enter Jaycee Rodeo


Port St. Joe's Jaycees had
over 30 boys and girls show up
to compete in their annual
bicycle rodeo held at the
Elementary School Saturday
afternoon.
The Jaycees sponsor the
annual event to encourage
young boys and girls to learn
to handle their bikes better in
traffic situations and to pro-


mote bike safety. The several
exercises in the competition
require bike riding and hand-
ling skill, such as riding a bike
for 50 feet, between two lines
three feet apart, and taking up
to a minute or more to go the
distance.
The young cyclers are put
through their paces, given tips
on bike safety and treated to
refreshments after it's all


over.
Shown in the photo above

SSession I


[Need to I

By: Senator Pat Thomas
Senate President Dempsey
;J. Barron sounded the keynote
bfr the 1975 session of the
legislature when he called on
the legislature to reduce the
.insatiable spending desires of
:"he bureaucrats and provide
:{he people of Florida with
:better service at less cost.
; The drastically reduced
;tate revenue, which has been
,-ard hit by the national eco-
-nomic condition, has put the
:job of holding the spending
Iine to the funds available on
t.:he shoulders of the legisla-
'i:re, even to the point of pos-
'ibly cutting the proposed
: propriations bill of Gover-


boating accidents on nearby Chesa-
peake Bay.
The nurses, as well as the
doctors and back-up personnel, are
known as a special breed, and none
of them have any lack of horror
stories to tell. But, of all the horror
stories, the ones that bother the staff
most are the drunks.
Says one nurse: "I never knew
what a drunk driver was until I
came here. Now'I know; a drunk'
driver is a killer-drunk drivers are
legal killers."
The summer season is close by,
and thousands of vacationers and
tourists will soon be on the high-
ways. And of all, the dangers they
face, the most menacing of all will,
be the drunk driver.
One of the greatest favors the
police and courts can do for the
American people is to get the drunk
driver off the road, and keep him off.

Reduce Spending


s.r Akew.
There is no question that
Florida's dollars will be short,
however, that does not mean
the services being rendered
cannot be continued with pru-
dent spending and planning,
and with the elimination of
non-essential programs.
Strong priorities must be esta-
blished by the state agencies.
Furthermore, to accomplish
the required services in all
areas and meet the needs of
the people, each agency and
worker must put'forth a little
more effort and dedication.
Money and the reorganiza-
tion of major agencies are the
primary factors before the
legislature in addition to tak-


ing strong action to curb crime
in Florida. which is threaten-
ing the citizens of our state as
they walk the streets.
We must protect the people
from the criminal element.
The front line of that protec-
tion will be to bring a halt to
releasing criminals before
they have served only a few
months or years of their
terms. Stop coddling crimi-
nals and you will stop crime.

manner during last week. Ses-

Picture a bright-eyed youngster dartiig

happy and full of the enthusiasm that comes
especially to the very young. Suddenly, he
stops in his tracks-doubled over by vicious
coughing. He turns homeward, wheezing in
agonizing attempts for breath. Now you've

of the bill is to take the opera-
tion of the department to the

in their plea for assistance has

While the Senate was acting,
the House version of the reor-

to the Appropriations Com-
mittee of the lower chamber.
Another major piece of leg-

The legislature had one of

the advance planning and

I got into a discussion with a couple of school
teachers the other day about whether or not a
teacher should be eligible to receive unemploy-
ment compensation during the two months of the
summer when they are not working.
The teachers had their argument down pat
about how they were-only paid for 10 months of
the year and they reasoned, by this situation,
that their pay was for only 10 months work-and
they were eligible for the unemployment pay for
the other two months.
I disagreed with them.
In our viewpoint, a teacher is hired for a
year, since they work on an annual salary basis.
Teachers, in Gulf County at least, have the.
option of receiving their annual pay in,10 equal
payments, once each month, or 12 equal
payments on a monthly basis. Most choose the 12
month option so they will have income every:
month of the year.
Some teachers are on an annual contract,
which means they are re-hired on an annual
basis, with no guarantee of being re-hired for the
next year. These may have a little better case in
claiming they are unemployed for the two month
period even though they, too, are paid on the
basis of an annual salary. Those on an annual
contract know before the current school year is
completely over whether or not they will be
asked back the following year. If they are not i
asked back, they could have a legitimate claim:.
at unemployment compensation-
Those on a continuing contract can have no
possible claim to unemployment compensation,
the way we see it. They are employed, again, on
an annual salary basis, and they know they will
have a job the following year unless they commit
some of the reasons for a teacher being let go.
They all know what the reasons are which will
-result in their termination. They also know the
school board has to prove their case when a
teacher on continuing contract is terminated.
We're not arguing the point of whether or not
teachers are underpaid. We simply claim they
are not eligible for the unemployment compensa-
tion pay. This sum of money is made available
for those who are laid off from work for
for those who are laid off from work for reasons
I they are noQ-epoilbr'fodr':'In theseTifd; "th re i
is barely enough in the fund to pay legitiffte
claims to those workmen who have had
the money to those who are not in the
predicament they should be in to receive the
payments.
A case in point. In our own leading industry,
there are those who work on an annual salary.
When the year starts, they know they are going
to get so much money from their employer, St.
Joe Paper Company, for the number of days the
company requires them to work for thatsalary.
Some of these people have worked with the
company for 30 years and are now eligible for six
weeks vacation. This is nearly as much time off
as every school teacher gets each and every
summer. In our way of looking at it, if the school
teacher is eligible for unemployment compensa-
tion during the two months they are off from
work, the employee of St. Joe Paper Company,
on an annual salary, is also eligible during the:
six weeks he is off on vacation.
As I understand it, a loose interpretation of
the unemployment compensation law has opened
the door for school teachers to claim the
payments during their two months of vacation in
the summer time. We feel this loophole should be
examined and closed by the current session of
the legislature.
If a school teacher was paid on an hourly
schedule at a rate commensurate with industry,
they might have a claim for the payments. Since .
they sign a contract to work as much as required
during the school year for: an annual salary, we
feel they have no legitimate claim.
Some teachers may make a claim on the -
funds this summer. If I were a teacher, I might .
also. The fact remains, though, that the money
was made available for those out of a job and if a
teacher does not have his usual work schedule
interrupted with a lay-off, he is not out of a job
and has no legitimate claim.

ing gave endorsement to a
move by the rural electric
cooperative to consign its
transmission lines and sub-
stations to control by Alabama
Electric Cooperative.
Officials told the huge crowd
they would not lose anything
by the action, but rather they
would gain in continued. low
power bills and Gulf Coast
currently has the lowest rates
of any cooperative in the state,
they were told.
Alabama Electric, it was
explained,,is solely a power-
generating and transmission
cooperative, and the transfer
would'allow Gulf Coast sub-
scribers to take advantage of
lower rates than adjacent
*cooperatives and fewer rate
increases in the future.
Archie Gordon, a consulting
engineer for Gulf Coast,
warned that the Wewahitchka-


based cooperative would soon
need $3,638,000 for capital out-'
lay regarding the transmis-
sion and sub-station facilities
for which Alabama Electric
would assume responsibility if
the change is made.
SGulf Coast will continue its
role in retail distribution to its
members.
"You will not be missing one
thing," Gordon declared .con-
cerning the deal with Ala-
bama Electric.
Gulf Coast Manager Walter
V. Truitt, Jr. noted approval
of the change had already
been requested from the
national rural electrification
association.
