Star photo Forty members of the South Eastern Outdoor Press Asso- ciation, were meeting here in convention last week end, being the guests of the Gulf County Golden Anniversary Commission and the Port St. Joe Chamber of Commerce. The writers were members of an organization composed of syndicated columnists, na- tional publications, television and radio. Their president was Ralph Glovier of television station WMAZ and the Macon Telegraph and News in Ma- con, Georgia. While here, the writers had a full two days of activities L.. .* Dr. John Grady warns of the perils to America. \which included fishing trips, a shrimping trip. visits to the nature sanctuaries atthe Box R Ranch and on St. Joseph's Peninsula. Friday night, the Mexico Beach Chamber of Commerce entertained the writers at a fish fry where they served grouper and all the trim- mings. Saturday night.' the Port St. Joe Chamber of Commerce served the visitors a steak dinner at the Centen- nial Building. which was pre- pared by the Lions Club. Glovier said he felt every- one who came for the conven- tion enjoyed themselves and had nothing but praise for the recreational areas and facili- ties available in the Gulf County vicinity. "You're ,lucky to have so much to enjoy right here in such a small area", he said. Glovier said the bathing, fishing and hunt- ing facilities would be the envy of any vacation resort. . The writers also expressed their delight and amazement at the many natural resources the area has to offer the traveling public. Following the dinner meet- ing Saturday night, Dr. John Grady of Melbourne, former candidate for the U.S. Senate on the American Party ticket, was the featured speak- er. Dr. Grady gave the con- servative's view of the state of the country today. Dr. Grady started his talk on the same note he was to follow during the entire 45 minute period it took him to' deliver it. He said, "Our nation is a business, made strong by business. If we don't take an interest in the nation, its business and its govern- ment, we won't have any business in just a very few more years." The speaker went on to observe, "I didn't come to entertain you I don't do anything for fun anymore." Dr. Grady listed five areas in which the nation was declin- ing and faced danger because of that decline: 1) undermin- ing of the sanctity of the home; 2) higher taxes, spend-. ing public money to provide for those who \ would not do for themselves: 3) demand for pleasure; 4) building of great armaments; and 5) decline of religion. The speaker observed, "These same five things caus- ed the downfall of the Roman Empire, one of the greatest civilizations ever known, and it can cause the downfall of the United States, the last hope of free men in the entire world."

Could it be that the communists have done their vork well while we were sleeping? While we were waiting for them to send rockets, planes and ships, have they sneaked in the back door and taken over our entertainment industry where their theories can be fed to us in a painless sugar-coated dose called "enter- tainment"? The incident made us believe our so-called entertainment is de- clining in morals by design. The communists point..to the decadence of American society as a sign that we are collapsing-from within. Could it be that they are aiding their claim by winning over many of those who appear before us day after day and become the idols of the impres- sionistic? Actors have always been idolized in this nation. They have an audience of millions, many of whom could be swayed by the wrong ideas. Theatre people are a good target for any ism to aim at. *: 14 g v uir dr too Happy 3V: f~1it troopers Patrol Director said, 'While it drivers in the may e inconvenient to be if they are stopped and asked to present vehiclee regis- proof of vehicle registration or red by law. your operator's license, these ridge Beach, laws were passed by the legis- When Do You Reach Middle Age?

They pay so much attention to us when there are so many other cities in the state for them to be interested in I' just naturally drew the conclusion they admire us. At least once a year, the St. Pete Times S carries a feature article on Port St. Joe. It's rarely complimentary or factual, but they write ^ about us all the same. The latest effort by the Times' feature' writers was published in that paper, on April 6, just about the time the pinch was really being felt by St. Joe Paper Company's four week shutdown. It made no difference that there was not a single paper mill running in the state at that time, Port St. Joe was the only towt feeling any effects from having a goodly portion of its citizens out of work; or so one would gather from the tone of the Times article. The article did get to the point of telling the story that the people of Port St. Joe can take care of themselves and are proud of the fact. Also, it pointed out that many people in the area work here since the best jobs in north Florida are to be found right here in Port St. Joe. After reading the article, I definitely take exception to the air of the latest article which intimates people here are living in a state of Drive Nets hopelessness.

Now it seems to us that the Patrol has better things to do.

Sincerely, Vera Lowry April 27, 1975 'Dear Mr. Ramsey: I read your articles every week in The Star and enjoy them; I like the way you print your candid opinion of things. In your article where Mr. Norton said the best way to eat goat is don't do it, I disagree with him. Steak from a young goat is delicious. But the trick to it is to kill it while it's young and the liver of a young goat is really good. My Dad has been raising goats in Calhoun Coun- ty for 40 years and anyone that hasn't eaten steak from a young goat is missing some good eating, if it's killed while it's young and cooked right. Sometime when you happen to be going through Clarks- ville, stop by Alire Newsome's and talk to him about it. They just might have some cooked and you could try it. Sincerely, Mrs. Edna Laramore Howards Creek The City, the Garden Club and John Robert Smith and his wife have the median between the traffic lanes on Fifth Street looking the best they have in years. John Robert took it upon himself, personally, a couple of years back, to pester everyone who could do anything about it until the street was a fitting entrance into the town. He held his ground and he prevailed. Fifth Street has always been one of our prettier streets, but the work which has been done in the past few months is turning the street into one any metropolis could be proud of. And here we are, a small town, having one of the most beautiful streets in the state. While I'm in an expansive mood, I must do something which has been needed doing for some time. Some say we're doing the right thing and some say we are shooting too high for our celebration of Gulf County's Golden Anniversary next month. I don't know which school you subscribe to, but one, thing for sure; the chairman, Jesse Stone, has done a job in the planning few people could or would do. You can't deny that.

During this time there were faraway companies that spe- cialized in drama productions. For a small fee they would send a director to stage a play with the local talent. A direc- tor. was ordered to bring along a play wherein some charac- ters could just sit around on the stage during the night of production and not say any- thing to anyone. This was for myself and a few more indivi- duals who were bashful and could not talk in public. Our timidness was natural, because our only public ap- pearance was the Sunday afternoon that we were mar- ried on the door steps of our in-laws house. We knew that 'lie people crowded into the front yard for the mulberry- tree-shaded ceremony were just waiting for the vows to be concluded so they could begin : series of old time shivaree actions, the first being to ride us on a fence rail down the cow-lot lane. Due to the beauty and sin- cerity of the lady director, the dramatic play was a success. We never forgot what could be called imported drama.

Registration for summer camping opportunities in the Apalachee Bend Girl Scout Council officially opens on May 1, 1975. Residence camping will be available at the two Council- owned sites: A Camp For All Seasons, located on Lake Tal- quin.and Camp Eleanor, loc- ated on St. Andrews Bay in Panama City. Day camping will also be offered at four sites located in various parts of the Council. Residence camping is an opportunity for girls to live in a natural environment for one week, to learn various skills and to make new friends. A Camp For All Seasons will be offering sessions which emphasize the arts: dance, drama, painting, drawing and handcrafts. Sealife and water sports will be the focus of the sessions at Camp Eleanor. Girls will be able to improve their swimming skills, learn how to sail and learn about creatures that inhabit the waters. In addition to the specific programs offered in each session, there will be an emphasis on basic camp acti- vities such as hiking, swim- ming, nature study and out- door cooking. Day camping is a summer happening which takes place on several Council-approved sites. Girls camp together with a volunteer staff in groups about the size of a troop. Many of the activities are the same as those in resi- dence camp. Older day camp- ers may even choose to camp overnight during the day camp session. Day camps will be held in Apalachicola, Mar- ianna, Panama City and Tal- lahassee. Girls in the Brownie through Senior Girl Scout levels may attend any of the various camping activities offered. Non-scouts may also attend for a small additional. fee. Persons desiring further infor- mation about camp registra- tion may call 1-223-6123 or write to: Girl Scout Council of the Apalachee Bend, P.

Otis Davis, Jr. 2t 5-1 Barbara Ford, soprano and David Wingate, baritone, three faculty members of the FSU School of Music will re- new your acquaintanceship with Gershwin's musical gen- ius. These concert artists pos- sess diversified and impres- sive credentials. Wright, a Professor of Music at FSU has performed in leading concert halls throughout the U. S. and ap- peared as soloist with many symphony orchestras. He has been featured on several net- works, has appeared as fea- tured artist on three radio net- works and has done musical work with the motion picture industry in Hollywood. His name is synonymous with the skillful execution of Gersh- win's works. At an early age, Ms. Ford, on the voice faculty at FSU entered the musical arena with a flute and piano, not be- coming interested in voice until high school. She won first ratings in state and local con- tests; as well as winning a solo spot with the Interlochen Sym- phony Orchestra. She then went on to major in voice at the University of Michigan. While there she was a member of the University Chamber choir which traveled to Spo- leto, Italy, as choir-in-resi- dence at the Festival of Two Worlds. She also traveled to the Soviet Union as a member of a tour choir and last season she gave a successful recital in New York City in Carnegie Recital Hall. David Wingate, also on the voice faculty at FSU has per- formed frequently as a soloist in the New York metropolitan area. He has been a soloist with the West Point Cadet Choir and Orchestra, the Uni- versity of Connecticutt Sym- phony, the Vassar College Choir and the Julliard Orch- estra. He has also sung with the Bach Aria Group, the American Opera Society, and has toured extensively with the Robert Shaw Chorale. He is presently a soloist with Richard Tucker during High Holy Day Celebrations in Chi- cago. Included in the program for Friday evening's perform- ance are "An American in Paris", "Rhapsody in Blue", selections from "Porgy and Bess", apd a medley of Gershi- win ,music from Broadway and Hollywood musicals. Admission is free and the public is cordially invited to attend what promises to be an enjoyable and culturally stim- ulating evening of musical en- tertainment.

Witten, Attorney., The meeting came to order at 9:00 a.m. The Clerk opened the meeting with prayer, fol- lowed by the pledge to the flag. Minutes of March 25, were read, approved and adopted. Comm. Money corrected the minutes of March 25, page 166 as to the last line on the page to read as follows: Comm. Money said the bill for the survey should be paid for by whomever requested the road to be moved. Pursuant to a call for bids to furnish Gulf County compre- hensive general liability in- surance, the Clerk announced that only one bid has been received and that being from Fisher-Brown, Pensacola. Frank Graddy appeared be- fore the Board and said that he was going to submit a bid through the Hartford Com- pany but found that Hartford had already worked up a bid for another agent and would not give him the information necessary; that he is now working through another in- surance company in an effort to submit a bid, but that he does riot have the final figures at this time. He requested the Board to reject the bids at this time -and re-advertise to re- ceive bids at a later date. Whereupon, there was a motion by Comm. Player, seconded by Comm. Owens, and upon vote was unanimous- ly carried, that-all bids be re- jected unopened) and the Board advertise to receive bids for this insurance cover- age on May 13, 1975 at 9:00 a.m. Bob Mathews, Division of .Retardation, presented a state warrant in the amount of $19,- 334.44. In a letter attached to said warrant, Francis P. Kel- ley, Director, informed the Board that said funds repre- sents the advance payment for the Gulf County Road Depart- ment to construct nature trails and roadways at the Division of Retardation's Sunland Re- creation Park on St. Joseph's Peninsula according to the plans and specifications approved by Charles J. Ben- da, A.I.A. and heretofore agreed upon by this Board. Upon motion by Comm. Whit- field, seconded by Comm. Owens, and upon vote was unanimously carried, that the County accept the $19,334.44 and the Road Department perform the construction as per previous oral agreement and plans herein mentioned. Lewis Gardner appeared before the Board and petition- ed (oral) the County to close the north 100 feet of Fourth Street in Beacon Hill, which is a dead end street abutting his property. and lying between blocks 20 and 21. He said that four other dead end streets aubtted-his property within the same subdivision. After lookirfi at a copy of the plat of Beacon Hill, there was a motion. by Comm. Player, seconded by Comm. Owens, and unanimously carried, that this request be tabled until all members of this Board had time to inspect this site. Comm. Player then stated that he opposed the county closing a public road that has been dedicated by a subdivi- der for the use and benefit of the public. L. Frank Graddy asked if this Board has done anything to qualify Gulf County for flood insurance. He was in- formed that the Board's At- torney has been working on this; that one of the holdups has been the lack of subdivi- sion regulations. Honorable William J. Rish reported that pursuant to a request by this Board to deter- mine the names and expira- tion dates of the Commission- ers of the Highland View Water District, the following hold commissions with the expiration dates being June 22, 1977, to-wit: John W. Dady, Jr., Curtis Griffin and Robert Peak. The Board heretofore re- quested Mr. Rish to submit the names of Ernest Bryan and Albert Whittington as nomi- nees for the two vacancies. Mr. Rish advised that Comm. Player has been informed that Emery Bailey thought he had already qualified with the Sec- retary of State as a member and that Jerry Tuttle had re- quested appointment to this water district. Under these circumstances there are four applicants for two vacancies. Jerry Tuttle presented his appointment papers from the Office of the Secretary of State, showing he has been ap- pointed as a member of the district, with his term begin- ning April 7, 1975 and ending April 7, 1979. He then present- ed his bond written by the Continental Insurance Com- -pany of New York, and the same was duly approved. After a discussion with re- ference to more and more reg- ulations being placed on coun- ties by the state in (he matter of land use and the taking of private owned lands by the state, Comm. Whitfield offer- ed Resolution 75-4 and moved for its adoption, seconded by. Comm. Owens, and uanimous- adopted, which stated the feeling of the commission that local government can best serve local interest and broad state interest in the regulatoin of land use. Copy of said resolution is on file in the Clerk's office. The following reports were received and ordered filed: Health Department, Agricul- tural.Agent and Service Offi- cer. The following applications for employment were re- ceived: Steven Mario Davis, James Samual Peters, Pat- ricia Louise Jamison, Robert Lee Sanborn, Denzil Allen Weimorts, Ernest H. Weeks and Marvin Lee Laurimore. Ther Clerk reported that inventory item no. 10-155, Court reporting machine, serial no. 7001914 has been transferred and assigned to the Circuit Court, to be used by Jerry Edwards, Court Re- porter. The Clerk reported that Eu- gene Pittman, F.H.A., Chip- ley, requested the Board to re- consider his request for office space other than the space now being used by him in the County Agent's office and to provide him with a secretary to assist all applicants for F.H.A. loans and other mat- ters that fall under the juris- diction of F.H.A. The Chair- man said that Mr. Pittman must continue to use the space now being used until such time another building can be con- structed that will include of-; fice space now needed by a number of county and state offices; that the Board cannot provide funds for a secretary at this time. The Chairman announced that the meeting is now open as a public hearing on the question of establishing a bulkhead at the Highland View bridge on Highway U.S. 98, as per notice published ac- cording to law. The Chairman called for objections, if any. He said that the bulkhead is a project of the State Depart- ment of Transportation, Sec- tion No. 51010, Intracoastal, Waterway Bridge at Highland View, necessary to properly perform the necessary main- tenance on said bridge. The Clerk then read the biological and hydrographic assessment. Copy of the assessments are on file in the Clerk's office. There being no objections, Comm. Player introduced Re- solution 75-5 and moved for its adoption, seconded by Comm. Money, and upon vote was un- animously adopted. The Re- solution approved the bulk- head line as described in legal notices, subject to the appro- val of the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund. Copy of the resol- ution is on file in the Clerk's -office. L. E. Browder presented a plat of Central Landing in Sec- tion 36, T-3-S, R-10-W for ap- proval and filing. After exa- mination of" this' plat, the Board voted to table the ap- proval of this plat until after the Attorney makes his re- commendations. Comm. Money discussed the proposed Gulf County subdivi- sion regulations as prepared by the Northwest Florida Planning and Advisory Coun- cil under the directions of the Gulf County Planning Com- .mittee. Upon motion by Comm. Money, seconded by Comm. Owens, and unani- mously carried, that the sub- division regulations are here- by tentatively approved; that a public hearing be set. The Attorney was instructed to prepare the notice of hearing and the ordinance to be adopt- ed after the hearing. The Board discussed the 911 emergency communications project. The Chairman said a committee has not been selected at this time. The Mosquito Control Super- visor reported on the new sanitary landfill site located near SR22. He said it now is ready for state inspector to give his approval for the first operational phase, which will be done in the near future. The Board authorized the Super- visor and his secretary to at- tend the next State conference to be held in Ft. Myers on SApril 13, 1975. Comm. Money discussed the urgent need for a third traffic lane on U.S. 98 at First Street and at the overpass. The mat- ter will be reported to the City and Department of Transpor- tation. Mr. Money then dis- cussed the volunteer ambul- ance operations and suggested that a dinner meeting be set up for all members of the two squads. Comm. Owens report- .ed that the Board of Directors have already planned such a meeting, but are waiting until the EMT school is completed. He then reported that the Board of Directors have elect- ed E. A. Bandjough and Otis Davis, Jr. to the Board. Comm. Owens told of the need for a sidewalk along Niles Road from Oak Grove to the high school. The Board directed the Road Department to add this project to the work list and to complete it as soon as possible by using the tem- porary CETA employees. The City of Wewahitchka and Port St. Joe requested a;that certain work wilhi! theef- two municipalities be per- formed by the County using CETA employees. The Board agreed to allow the work to be done under the supervision of the Road Department and Mosquito Control Depart- ment. The Board discussed the proposed ambulance building for the Port St. Joe area. After looking at work plans pre- pared by Charles A. Gaskin, A.I.A., it was decided that each Comm. make a personal study of this proposal to select the most advantageous site for -the building and to consider whether or not additional space for this operation will be required. SThe Clerk informed the Board that it may be the ap- propriate time to review the space requirements for each branch of county government now located in the courthouse. He said that storage space for each office has been needed since the date the building was occupied; that the county commissioners bookkeeping and record room is over crowded and required an addi- tional 1,000 square"feet; that the driver's license office, F.H.A. office, and the employ- ment office are all calling for 1 refunds for 1974 or whose re- funds are already in process. at IRS. Another 11 million taxpay- ers will receive checks com- bining their refund with. the rebate. These check's will show how much is refund and how much is rebate, Mr. DeWitt said. Under the new legislation the maximum rebate is 10 per cent of the tax liability up to a maximum rebate of $200, reduced by one per cent of adjusted gross income in ex- ( < ) ) The first of nearly three million tax rebate checks going to Florida taxpayers will be mailed on May 9, Charles 0. DeWitt, IRS Dis- trict Director for Florida, said last' week. The bulk of the mailings should be com- pleted by the end of June. Mr. DeWitt said taxpayers who filed returns the earliest will receive rebate checks first. The payments stem from enactment of the Tax Reduction Act of 1975 which provides for a rebate on 1974 taxes of between $100 and $200 for most taxpayers, De- Witt added. The IRS will automatically compute all rebates. Any, rebate adjustment made by the taxpayer on a return fill only serve to delay processing and issu- ance of the rebate, Mr. De- Witt said. Such adjustments could also delay any refund due. Nationwide, approximately 67 million taxpayers, Mr. De- Witt said, will receive checks reflecting the rebate only. These include taxpayers who have already received their State Park Sets 25c Entry Fee Seven state parks in north and northwest Florida will begin charging a 25-cent sum- mer entrance fee for each person beginning May 15, Harmond Shields, executive director of the Department of Natural Resources, an- nounced this week: Parks beginning the sum- mer fee are Fred Gannon Rocky Bayou State Recrea- tion Area at Niceville; Gray- ton Beach- State Recreation Area on Santa Rosa Beach; T. H. Stone Memorial St. Joseph Peninsula -State Park near Port St. Joe; Falling Waters State Recreation Area near Chipley; Ponce de Leon State Recreation Area near DeFun- iak Springs; -Ochlockonee River State Park at Sopchop. -py; and Thlre 'Rivers State Recreation Area near Sneads. larger quarters. The Chair- man said the Board is fully aware of the overcrowded con- ditions in certain depart- ments. The Board authorized Sen. Lawton Chiles to hold a public hearing in the County Com- missioners room on April 15, at 1:30 p.m. "The Attorney reported that efforts are being made to pur- chase a four-wheel drive government surplus ambu- lance as requested by the Civil Defense Director. After discussion of the high cost of the employee medical insurance policy for the em- ployee and the employer, Comm. Owens moved the Board advertise for bids on the hospitalization and life insurance policy for the coun- ty employees, bid to be accept- ed May 13, 1975. Comm. Whit- field seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. The Board approved pay- ment of the expenses for White City Fire Chief Lamar Hardy and county employee Jake Hy- smith incurred while taking the White City fire truck to Mobile, Alabama for repairs.

Patrol to Check for Titles The Florida Highway Pat- rol announced this week that troopers will be checking dri- vers in the future to see if they are carrying their ve- hicle registration as required by Florida law. Colonel Eldrige Beach, Patrol Director said, "While it may be inconvenient to be stopped and asked to present proof of vehicle registration or your operators license, these laws were passed by the legislature to protect the public." The Director continued, "By carrying your registra- tion while operating your ve- hicle, drivers can reduce time lost trying to convince police officers that the ve- hicle they are driving is legally in their possession. The law greatly assists law enforcement officers in the recovery of stolen motor ve- hicles. He concluded by saying, "If charged for not having your registration with you, you can have the charges dropped by proving to the court that your vehicle was properly registered at the time of your arrest."

Co-sponsored by the Florida Forestry and Bankers Asso- ciations, the day long event featured a morning panel dis- cussion, with representatives of both industries explaining the current economic situation of their respective businesses. along with an outlook for the future. James A. Edson, President of the Forestry group and John C. Wulbern, Vice Presi- dent of the bankers organiza- tion made opening remarks. Speaking for the* bankers c were P. C. Crapps III. First Vice President, First rational Bank of Live Oak; Lamar Roberts, President of the Dixie County State Bank at Cross.City; and J. Ted Can- non, President of the Florida First National Bank at Port St. Joe. The Forestry Industry posi- tion was represented by Jos- eph S. Jones, Manager of Forest Resources. St. Regis Paper Company, Jackson- ville: Wallace Laird, Jr., President, Laird Timber Company, Panama City: and by Michael Flannery, Mana- ger of Special Projects, Allied Timber Company, Jackson- ville. After a steak cook-out lunch- eon at the Suwannee River home of former State Senator Etter Usher, the group visited the Georgia-Pacific Chip 'N Saw plant at Cross City for a look at a typical forestry manufacturing operation. Next stop was a trip to the woods to see' representative forest lands as' managed. by the Brunswick Pulp Land Company in Chiefland. Highlight of the afternoon tour was a live demonstration of Morbark Industries "Total Chiparvester." a machine which transforms whole trees up to 22 inches in diameter into wood chips in a matter of seconds. According to Forestry Asso- ciation Executive Vice Pres- ident William Carroll Lamb. future meetings are planned between the two groups to keep both organizations up _to date on changes within the two industries.
