Five people were injured in

According to Port St. Joe
police records, the driver of
S, the -car was Helen Knox
.. Sinclair of Apalachicola-Pas-
sengers were Ella Richard-
son, Sarah Sinclair and Henry
Rochelle, all of Apalachicola
.. and Bobby Clay Martin of Port
St. Joe. David Ambus Smith of
Apalachicola was the driver of
the parked truck.
Investigating officer, Bobby
Lightfoot, said the truck, .used
to haul wood chips to the St.
Joe Paper Company mill was
parked on the side of the road ,
in front of Troy Gay's Stan-
dard Station on Monument
Avenue when the Sinclair car
approached from the north,
striking the truck in,the rear.
All five of the occupants were.

Panama City.
The Sinclair automobile was
totally demolished.
Lightfoot said no charges


have been made at this time,
but that charges probably will
be made later on in the week.
Assisting in the investiga-


tion were officers M. A. Kel-
ley, Oscar Jones and Gulf
County Deputy Jim Bucha-
nan.


Mechanical and Chemical
Equipment Company of Bran-
don was the apparent low
bidder for the City's planned
rehabilitation of sewer lift
stations and force mains. Bids
were received Tuesday night
at the regular meeting of the
Commission and then turned
over to the engineers for,
inspection and recommenda-
tions. The engineers will have
their recommendations for the
Commission at their next reg-
ular meeting on Tuesday, May
6.
The project, which encom-
,passes considerable work on
the City's sewage collection
system, attracted a field of
eight bidders. The bids ranged
I from a low of $288,821 to
$451,675, before considering
any alternates or reductions to
the size oi the project planned.
START SECOND PHASE
The Board immediately in-
structed their engineer, Smith
and Gillespie of Jacksonville,
to begin working on the second
phase of the proposed $2.8 mil-
lion program of completely re-
habilitating and extending the
City's water and sewer ser-
vices. The project may even
expand to the point where it
will furnish water and sewer
services to Oak Grove.
Projects involved in the


second phase of the program
will be doubling the capacity
of the water treatment plant to
a two million gallon a day
plant, construction of a new
500,000. gallon storage at the
tank site on Long Avenue and
removing the oldest of the two
tanks now there and construc-
tion of a new 10 inch water,
main from the treatment plant
to the storage facilities.
Commissioner Tom S. Cold-
wey was charged with the
responsibility of making ap-
plication to the Farmer's
Home Administration to bor-
row the money needed to
finance the entire project.
POLICE RETIREMENT'
After several weeks of study
in the matter, the. City Com-
mission agreed Tuesday night
to transfer the police. depart-
ment retirement system over
to the state.operated system.
The retirement system for
police had been financed and
administered by the Commis-
sion and the police and had
been in effect for several
years.
On shifting the accumulated
funds to the state program, a
surplus .of $14,530.48 was left,
which the Commission decid-
ed to put in escrow-to make up
any differences which might
arise in the future in what


retirees would have received
under the old plan and what
they will receive under the
new program. Several of the
officers have in more years of
service than is being allowed
to their credit under the new
program.
OTHER BUSINESS
In other items of business,
the Commission:
-Agreed to install summer
water rates for the months of
May through August.
-Were'notified that police
patrolman Jack Davilla had
resigned and gone with the

Two More Seeking City

Commission Posts May 13


Two more have thrown their
hats in the race for the three
City Commission seats to be
decided upon May 13, since
last week.
Two candidates have quali-
fied to seek election in Group
SII for the City Commission;
the seat being vacated by
Commissioner Bob Holland.
James Hanlon paid his quali-
fying fee Tuesday of this week
and-Wesley R. Ramsey quali-
Sfied last Thursday to seek
election to the post.
In the other positions, in-


cumbents Mayor-Commis-
sioner Frank Pate and Com-
missioner Tom S. Coldewey
have decided to seek re-elec-
tion. Pate is opposed by Anais
Lilius and Robert Montgom-
ery. Coldewey has no opposi-
tion.
The qualification period
ended yesterday afternoon at
5:00 p.m., but the Star had
gone to press before the
deadline and it was not know if
there were any last minute
candidates to offer themselves
for election to the posts.


County Jail in lieu of $20,000.00
bond, and is charged with the
murder of'his wifeMeomia,
48. The incident apparently
took place sometime in the
early morning hours Sunday,
and at this time evidence indi-
cates that thevictim died as a
result of injuries caused from
being severely beaten with a
board.
SheriffLawrence, Chief De-
puty White, Sgt. Williams and
Investigator, Buchanan con-
ducted the investigation.
In the midst of the homicide
investigation a call was re-
ceived that the kindergarten
in Wewahitchka had been
broken into. Deputies immedi-
ately went to the scene and
apprehended two male juven-
iles. The two had used a poc-
ket knife to force the lock on
the back door. Their "loot"
consisted of two bags of candy
and a bag of cookies.
The Sheriff's Department
and Civil Defense personnel
have also been busy the past
week assisting people who
were having difficulties due to
the high water in the Wewa
area. They have also been
patrolling the camps in the
area.


It took the Gulf County
Commission two hours Tues-
day night to convince a dele-
gation from Highland View
that the county could not
legally take over the operation
of the Highland View water
department. Also during the
two hour session, which dom-
inated the Board's meeting,
the Commission said they
were not interested in taking
over the system, which seems
to be plagued with dissention
among the citizens of High-
land View. As a matter of fact,
the relationship between the
water department directors,
appointed by the Governor,
and some of the citizens seem
to be cloudier than the water
of which they are complain-
ing.
In two meetings in the past,
the group of citizens,. seem-
ingly headed up by Albert
Whitfield, 'Jackie Reagan and
Mr. and Mrs. Billy Branch,
has been that the water has
been cloudy and a little hard.
They wanted something done
and felt the board of directors
were not doing enough to
correct the situation. Now the
theme seems to be that the
same group wants the county
to take. over the operation or
aid them in replacing the
board of directors. Their first
choice Tuesday night seemed

Vera Kimmell
Funeral services for Mrs.
Vera Olive Kimmell, 74, of
Mexico Beach, who died Tues-
day, April 15, were held at
11:00 a.m. Thursday in the St.
Clair Funeral Home Chapel,
with Rev. James Gosnell, of
the Pentecostal Holiness
Church, officiating/
Interment was in the Na-
tional Cemetery at Wilming-
ton, North Carolina.
Mrs. Kimmell was a native
of Washington state, and had
been a resident of this area for
the past four years, moving
here from Wilmington, North
Carolina.
She is survived by two sons,
Ralph Kimmell of Mexico
Beach and Karl Kimmell of
Jacksonville; five grandchil-
dren and two great grandchil-
dren.
St. Clair Funeral Home of
Pot St. Joe was in charge of all

to be for the county to take
over the operation.
Attorney Fred Witten ad-
vised everyone present that
the Highland View Water Dis-
trict is' a constitutional body
created by the Legislature and
can be abolished, paving the
way for county take-over, by
the Legislature. He pointed
out that the directors were
appointed by the Governor
and could be removed and
replaced by the governor.
Emory Bailey, chairman of
the water district's board of
directors, asked the County
Commission to take over the
operation or leave the board
alone td'correct the problems
at the water system as they
can. "We have problems",
said Bailey, "but we're not
going to rush into fixing them
without getting expert advice
from the State Board of Health
as to just what we need. We
have been promised that a
man will be here in the next
few days to completely exam-
ine the system and make
recommendations for its re-
pair." Bailey went on to'say
they had been advised by the
Board of Health of certain
repairs which would probably
be needed and the directors
have made arrangements to
secure the money for the work
and made plans to repay the
borrowed money.
Still some of the citizens 'at
the meeting called for a new
board while others asked them
to be patient and let the
directors do what they had to
do in order to make repairs
before calling for their re-
placement.
The Board finally ended the
discussion on the note that
they would not take over the
operation, but would assist the
board of directors if they
asked for help in securing
financing or contacting the
proper -people to do the work
at the system which was
needed.
NEW SUBDIVISION
The County Commission ac-
cepted a plat for a new
subdivision in the County
Tuesday night. The subdivi-
sion, Christie's Beach, is lo-
cated near Indian Pass and
consists of nearly 4,000 acres.
Steve Nations of Florida
Engineers Associates pre-
sented the first phase of the
subdivision which consists of a
plot of 325 acres, divided up


into 196 lots. He said the
development would comply
with all Gulf County subdivi-
sion regulations and even
surpass them in some in-
stances. Nations said the de-
velopers were ready to let
contracts on clearing roads,
digging drain ditches 'and
canals and laying out the
subdivision.
The subdivision is being
developed by Shellbilt Con-
struction ,and Development
Company of Fishskill, New
York.
In presenting the first phase


of the development, Nations
pointed out that the develop-
ers had provided two five acre
plots for parks in the first
phase of development and had
plans for light industry and
business areas in the over-all
plan, which would, in effect,
create another city in Gulf
County.
The first phase of develop-
ment has pretty stiff restric-
tions, calling:for homes of at
least 1,000 square feet, with
only one single family dwel-
ling or one duplex dwelling
allowed to the lot.

Gadget Would Maintain


Open Channel at M. B.


Mexico Beach's new system
of jetting sand by the mouth of
their canal where it empties
into the Gulf of Mexico is a
completely new concept for
this type project, Charles
Guilford told the Rotary Club
.last Thursday. The system,
developed by the U. S. Corps
of Engineers was designed for
a completely different opera-
tion, but a test by the Engin-
eers has proven that it can do
the job Mexico Beach wants
done and cause no damage to
the ecology. "As a matter of
fact, the system helps nature
along by nourishing the bea-
ches below the canal", Guil-
ford said.
The system is placed in the
water at the level at which the
people at Mexico Beach want
the canal entrance to remain.
Two pumps jet water at the
sand which is drifting into the
mouth of the canal and create.
a vacuum around a second
hose which vacuums (thW'U-:'
wanted said out, suspeified in


water, and deposits it at the
water line below the canal
mouth. "This pump system
will maintain a certain depth
and cut itself off when the
sand has been removed.i It
takes the place of a dragline
operating full time", Guilford
said.
Cost of the installation is
expected to be in the neigh-
borhood of $70,000, "But that
will be cheap compared to
what we'have been spending",
Guilford said.
The problem at the canal
has been caused by the tides
moving the sand from east to
west and depositing it in the
mouth of the canal as it
washed by to the tune of
several hundred yards per
day. "This new pump system
will merely help the sand by
the canal mouth and deposit it
on the other side where it will
continue merrily on its way",
Guilford said.
Bids 'were ti be'recetved-Jast
week on the project which has


received a pledge of $25,000
from the State-of Florida and
$12,500 from the Bay County
Commission. The City of Mex-
ico Beach must come up with
the remainder of the money.
"We're going to do it some-
how", Guilford said.

S By: WESLEY R. RAMSEY


Once again the U. S. Supreme Court says
they won't make the death penalty constitutional
because there is the chance the penalty will be
abused by applying it to some and withholding it
from others, able and powerful enough to
conduct extensive hearings on their behalf.
In the meantime, the lack of the death
penalty continues to cause senseless murders
and killings such as the murder of the two
women in Panama City over the week end. The
murderer didn't even remember to take the
money he had stolen with him after committing
his second killing of the Lord's day.
We beg to differ with the attorney who
argued that there would be favoritism shown in
application of the death penalty that those who
could afford it would merely delay the penalty
year after year while making appeals in the
courts. There's no more familiar case to those of
us here in Gulf County than the tactics which
have kept Wilbert Lee and Freddie Pitts out of
that hot seat. They were not privileged citizens
just ordinary men who got caught for
committing a crime and yet untold'thousands
have been spent in keeping them from the
execution chamber.
Looking back on the application of the death
penalty we would have to come to the conclusion
that if there has been any wrong use of the
penalty, it would have to be that it wasn't used as
often as needed rather than with favoritism.

While we are on the subject of crime, I see
where Senator Pat Thomas has co-introduced a
bill in the current session of the Florida Senate
which would mandate at least a three year
sentence in jail for committing crimes with the
use of a gun. Thomas would skirt the present
practice of using the probation option extensive-
ly and decree a mandatory jail sentence when a
criminal uses a gun in committing his dirty deed.
It seems the sensible thing to do for law
makers to draft laws which would punish the
person who misuses the firearms rather than
dreaming up laws to take the firearms away
from those who own them for protection. Of
course the second law would be the easiest to
pass since that law-abiding person who bought
his gun for protection against kooks who are
allowedto,roam;arpund will surrender his gun
i,,,readilyisinaee;the law says to do so. The person
who has a gun to rip off some innocent citizen
will probably be prone to hide his gun and not
turn it in like the law says to do.

I can't see how I could have overlooked the
anniversary of Paul Revere's ride which warned
the Colonists that the British were coming.
Paul's parade through the New England
countryside was the introduction to the shot
which was heard around the world, sounding the
beginning of people wanting to govern them-
selves rather than being subject to the whims of
a king. Paul's ride and the decision by the
Colonists caught on and has been repeated time
after-time since that day, 200 years ago.
I read one paper the Washington County
News, which gave the "true" story of Paul's
ride. The editor, Maurice Pujol, said he had
letters handed down from an ancestor which
"proved" old Paul was a drunk and a
moonshiner. Pujol went on to say, his letters
said, Paul was at his still on the night in question,
sampling his wares along with some of the
British army, who were customers of his
distillery. The news version went on to say that
Paul looked up and saw two lights in the church
steeple when there was only one. Of course, the
signal was to warn the people if the British were
coming by land or sea. Paul started out telling
some of his friends the British were coming by
land when they were, in reality, coming by sea.
On the way, he met a friend and they started
drinking and spent the night in the woods passed
out.
Being a naive patriot, I'll go on believing the
version in the history books since there is more
evidence that Paul was an upstanding citizen
and a silversmith of quite some accomplishment
and' only the so-called authentic letters to a
relative to say he was a drunkard and no-good.

she finds time to work in a

As she enjoys lots of activity,
her leisure time involves
cheeringng, gymnastics and bike
riding. One interest she re-
serves for quieter moments,
however, is drawing.
College is in Pam's future
but she has not made definite
plans. She hopes to become a

characteristically, she defines
a dependable person as
"someone who is always

Film, 'The Invisible Child'

Shown to Kiwanis Club


A 'film, "The Invisible
Child", was shown to the Port ,
St. Joe Kiwanis Club at their
regular meeting Tuesday by
Clarence Monette, media cen-
ter specialist at Port St. Joe
High-School. The film dealt'
with the problem of juvenile
delinquency, what causes it
and how it is treated.
The film was made at the
Fairfield School for Boys in
Fairfield, Ohio where juve-
niles are rehabilitated.
Narrator, Joe Garagiola
said that when a child is
having trouble with his par-
ents through rejection or mis-
treatment, "He has two ways
to go-run away or fight
back".
Juveniles account for 750,-
000 cases in the courts each
year. Over two percent of
youths between the ages of
10-17 appeared in court last
year on one charge or another.
"Juveniles can be rehabili-
tated", Garagiola said, "But
he must want to be rehabili-
tated." The film pointed out
that it costs tax payers an
average of $2,500 a year to
furnish detention facilities for.


the juveniles.
Garagiola summed it all up
by saying "Prison systems
aren't particularly effective ..
. they never have been. It
takes the love of a parent and
the desire of a juvenile to have
him effectively rehabilitated
to society."
Guests of the Club were Key
Clubbers Becky Gable, Janet
Murphy, Eddie Creamer and
Steve Cloud.

June.
At that time they will board
a commercial airliner to
Lackland Air Force Base in
San Antonio where they will
undergo six weeks of basic
training. The Port St. Joe
natives have successfully
completed a series of tests
which qualified them to enter
the administrative and elec-

Both Airmen are 1975 grad-

Already 334 Panama City
high school students have par-

College counselors and
faculty will return to local
schools this month to advise
those students who have al-
ready been tested regarding
major study areas and career
goals.
Students still needing test-
ing may report to the Student
Services Building on any


school day at either 8:00 a.m.
or 1:00 p.m., CDT.
Students will receive tests
according to their needs, high
school grades and Florida

Up until May 1, students
completing these steps may
make appointments -to see
their faculty advisor regard-


ing the scheduling of fall
classes. Advisors will be un-

Mexico Beach Kicks off Festival


"Ling Ding" sounds like,
something a poet might say
while trying to establish a
rhyming scheme. "Spring
Ling-Ding" would almost
guarantee it.

That's not what it refers to,
though.

Actually, it describes the
annaul Mexico Beach fishing
tournament that is presently
underway, and which will end
the day before the Ling-Ding
-Fiesta winds the whole affair
up on June 14 with a fish fry,
sailboat races-and an awards
presentation. Previous to that,
there's a motorboat race on
June 11, and a water skiing


contest on June 13.

The Ling-Ding has gained
national attention in recent
years, and top tournament
anglers are participating in
the competition. The ling-a
common name for cobia-
is a strong fighter that ranges
in the 30-50 pound class, al-
though the world record
stands at 102 pounds, and it is
considered by many fisher-
men to be one of the best sport
fish found in Gulf of Mexico
waters.
This year's Ling-Ding festi-
val will coincide with Gulf
County Golden Anniversary
nine day celebration, June 6 to
June 14.

According to Director of

"Our first priority is to meet

Burch added that, although

admission after the June 1

This also established an on-

Because of the financial sup-

Sheriff Lawrence Says "Irish


Travelers" Bilking Area Residents


A group of "gypsy-type"
people are travelling through
Florida, most of them hailing
from South Carolina. They
have posed as painters, exter-
minators, social security
workers and as representa-
tives from large carpet and


Involuntary treatment is

yo'Wi itfh' 'aV'i6ui drihiRitig
problem. At last 300,000 people
in Florida are alcoholics. They
are not to be blamed for their
-P illness any more than the fat
person 'who suffers a heart
attack or the smoker who gets
cancer. Because alcoholism is
now officially recognized as
an illness, it, is easier for a
person to admit that he has a
serious drinking problem. But
:at the same time, it has also
.become easier for him to
rationalize doing nothing
about it.
Some alcoholcis are able to
recognize their problem early
and form a firm resolve to get
help frotn competent com-
_munity resources. This is the
ideal solution, of course. The
earlier a drinking problem is
detected and treated, the bet-
ter the chances of arresting
the condition before it takes a
heavy toll on a person's life. In
fact, two out of three alco-
holics who receive competent
help return to a life of mean-
ing without the regular use of
alcohol as a crutch.
Often, however, it is char-
acteristic for an alcoholic to
continue to deny his problem
long after it is obvious to
everyone around him. In fact,
it is this unwillingness to face
reality that may well have
Started him on the road to
drinking in the first place.
In this common situation, it
is imperative that family and
friends have access to a
method of introducing the
Reluctant alcoholic to treat-
mernt and rehabilitation before
he destroys himself and-or his
loved ones. This is now possi-
ble in Florida through court-
ordered Involuntary Treat-
ment.
A physician concludes that
the person you wish to receive
help is an alcoholic who has
lost the power of self-control
with respect to alcohol and,
(i) is likely to harm himself or
others unless he is treated, or
(2) the examining physician
determines that the person
needs treatment and care and
that by reason of chronic alco-
holism his judgment has been
impaired to the point that he is
not capable of making a
rational decision
"Persons who can begin the
process are a patient's spouse,
legal guardian, any next of
kin, a physician, the head of
any state treatment and re-
search center, the sheriff of
the county in which the patient
resdies or is found, or any
three Florida citizens may file
a Petition (DMH-MA-4) which
can be obtained, from the
Clerk of the Circuit Court.
The Petition must be duly

.and dp,6ie 'dis rbui.ed ttP the
patient, his guardian (if any)
and, if the patient is already
confined to an emergency
treatment resource, to the ad-
ministrator of that resource.
The petition must be accom-
panied by a Certificate (DMH-
MA-5) also available from the
Clerk of the Circuit Court,
signed by a licensed medical
or osteopathic physician who
has examined the person with-
in the previous 48 hours. No
Certificate is required if it is
noted in the Petition that the
patient has refused to submit.
to a medical examination.
The Court fixes a date for a
hearing no later than 10 days
after receiving the Petition.
Notice of the hearing is given
to the person who initiated the
Petition, the prospective pat-
ient, his next of kin other than
the petitioner, the patient's
parents or legal guardian (if
he is a minor), the head of the
facility if the patient is al-
ready confined, and any other
person the Court deems ap-
propriate;
If the patient has refused to
be examined by a licensed
physician, he. is offered that
opportunity by a court-ap-
pointed physician. If the
patient again refuses an
examination and there is suffi-
cient evidence that the allega-
tions in the Petition are true,
the Court may issue a Pre-
liminary Order committing
the patient to an appropriate
treatment resource for not
more than five days for a diag-
nostic examination. If the
Court then-determines that the
proof- is clear and convincing,
it will order the patient to a
treatment program at or
through an appropriate re-
source.
The Involuntary Treatment
Order entails an initial order
for 30 days, unless patient is
discharged earlier. After that
the patient is automatically
discharged unless the treat-
ment resource has filed a new
Petition and received a fur-
ther court order for an extra
period up to 90 days. Further
orders, each for six months,
may be obtained if the pat-
ient's condition warrants it.
By law alcohol abusers and
alcoholics may not be discri-
minated against by any pri-
vate or public hospital which
receives support in any form'
from any program supported
in whole or in part by funds
appropriated to any Federal
department or agency.
Information concerning in-
voluntary commitment can be
obtained from the Alcoholism
Information Center at 321
Reid Avenue, Port St. Joe.


GORMAN BROTHERS, 420
Luverne Avenue, Panama
City and McNALLY & SHER-
LOCK, 1221 Land Street Road,
Apt. 2252-54, Orlando.'
These travelling criminals
are known to law enforcement
agencies as "Irish Travelers"
because of their use of six
basic family names: Gorman,
Carrol, Sherlock, Riley, Mack
and O'Hara. They are white,
but will hire blacks to assist
them. They usually travel in
groups of three or four truck-
loads throughout the southern
states in late model pick-up
trucks (usually Ford or Chev-
rolet) mainly in rural areas.
The Irish Travelers usually
select elderly people as their
victims. They ask to be paid
for their.services in small bills
and I ifi take"the victim to the
bank if necessary.
Various schemes used are:
-The Irish Travelers pose
as electrical inspectors. After
an "inspection", the victim is
advised that .his wiring is
faulty. "Electricians", who
are also Irish Travelers, are
called in to correct the electri-
cal circuits. The same method
of operations is used by the
group posing as extermina-
tors.
*The Irish Travelers will
go into a victim's home, pos-
ing as social security workers.
When in the home, they sug-
gest that the victim be exa-
mined by the social security


doctor, whom they'have with
them (another Irish Travel-
er). The victim is led to
believe that the Irish Travel-
ers might be able to get the
victim more benefits on his
social security. The victim is
told to go into another room
and undress. While the "doc-
tor" examines the victim, the
rest of the Irish Travelers take
valuables from the victim's
house.
-The Irish Travelers pose
as representatives from a
large company selling high
quality carpets and tiles. The
materials are usually good
enough to last about a month,
by which time the IrishTrav-
elers are no longer in the area.
-The Irish Travelers do
paving work for victims, using
a cheap paring compound
which will not hold up under
an automobile's weight.

tags are known to be displayed

cles. The following is a list of
current Florida vehicle tag
