PATRIOTIC THEME S Gulf County's Golden Anniversary Celebration hAs been : planned to promote a new love for the good ole USA, to revive a new spirit of patriotism, and make all who come, to have Great pride in this nation and hope for the future, faith in our democraticway of life, faith in our heritage as a promise for our tomorrows, and trust in our ability to protect ourselves and to grow into a more fruitful life. In addit ion to the many pieces of military equipment that will participate in the two giant parades, there will be several fixed displays by the U. S. Marines, the U. S. Army, the U.S. Air Force, the U. S. Coast Guard and the U. S. Navy. All of the military services are really going all out to put on a big show. In addition to several military bands and honor guards, the U. S. Marines will feature their world famous 50 State Flag Pageant. The two parades will feature in addition to the many military entries and the national and state VIP's, many beauty queens, Shrine units, beautiful floats, antique cars and many more interesting and worthwhile exhibits. The patriotic theme for the nine day Gulf County Golden Anniversary Celebration is sponsored by the Willis V. Rowan Post 116 American Legion. So come one and all.. see it all, hear it all, do it all, enjoy it all. Two parades will be staged, one in the north end and one in the southern end, including six units of Shriners, digni-. taries, five military bands and.numerous local floats. ''- *r teachers and a former School Board member at the begin- -niog of their regular meeting Tuesday afternoon 'Superintendent of Schools David Bidwell presented plaques of appreciation to. retiring teachers Sara Fite Sand' Daisy Johnson and to .,former 'Aoard Member Bill 'Roemer for their years of service to the school system and students. Things got sticky a little later on in the meeting, as Superintendent Bidwell came up with a recommendation to reduce the staffs at Port St. Joe High School and Port St. Joe Elementary School next year. Bidwell recommended the high school staff be reduc- ed by three people and the elementary staff by two. "There was a slight reduction in pupils this. year. at these schools and we project a further reduction next year", Bidwell said as the basis for his suggestion. The lone dissenter in the move, which would leave the staffs at Highland View ind Wewahitchka as they are at present, wasBoard members Gene Raffield. Raffield cast the only "nay" vote to the suggestion after noting that Wewahitchka had a ratio of 14 pupils per instructor while Port St. Joe had 17, "If there's any fat in personnel, it's in Wewahitchka", Raffield said. The personnel affected by the proposed cut are instructional and supervisory people. Bidwell recommended an- additional one or two person- nel for Wewahitchka. The matter will gain further exposure when the Board gets around to deciding which members of:the staff are to be cut. INTERVIEWS The School Board inter- viewed three architects Tues- day, in preparation for secur- ing the services for design of a new gymnasium at Wewa- hitchka and phase' two of the vocational complex at Port St. Joe High School. Interviewed at Tuesday's meeting were Charles Arthur Gaskin of Wewahitchka, Chet Parker and Norman Gross of Panama City. The Board had applications from four other architects for the job, but they (Continued on Page 6) A new slate of City officers were sworn into office b City Clerk Charles Brock at the'City Commission meeting this past Tuesday night.

New Board Sets Si On Ambitious Progr The City Commission had as its first item of new business, Tuesday night, the swearing in of newly-elected Commis- sioners and Mayor-Commis- sioner. Clerk Charles Brock administered the oath of office to Mayor-Commissioner Frank Pate, and Commission- ers Tom Coldewey and Wesley R. Ramsey, each of whom started two year terms on the Board Tuesday. Mayor Frank Pate called for several activities to be accomplished by the City Commission during the next two years, as the Board re-organized Tuesday night after installation of three Kenneth Herring, Supervising Principal, left and Edwin Williams, Principal, right, members'. Pate called for the. Commis- sion to extend itself in a search for new industry for Port St. Joe and orderly growth along with it. "We need additional, clean industry," Pate said "and we need to keep on top of growth to our City to see that it doesn't cause undue prob- present the STAR Student Award to Regina Ellis, a student at Port St. Joe High School. Regina Ellis STAR Student Kenneth Herring, Supervis- ing Principal, and Edwin G. Williams, Principal, congratu- late Regina Ellis for her selection as the School's STAR .student. The STAR Student Award is given in "apprecia- tion of exemplary dedication to the pursuit of knowledge and superior performance in the schools of Florida and in recognition of those admirable qualities of future ,business leadership that will help to shape the destiny of our state and nation." Regina was also chosen as one of five semi-finalists in competition for the District STAR Student Award. Regina, a junior at Port St. Joe Jr.-Sr. High School, was the secretary of the National Junior Honor Society. Pre- sently Regina is a member of the National Honor Society, Concert Choir, Journalism staff and representative for the Junior Etecutive Board. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Ellis, who reside at 1008 Woodward Ave- nue. Yhts 'am lems.."- The Mlayor put the strongest emphasis on the need for the Commission to pursue devel- opment of the Port here. "We need to get the Port Authority on the ball and acquire pro- perty, construct warehouse facilities and utilize our fine harbor. This is one of the biggest sources of wages in our City and needs further development". Also on his list of priorities, the Mayor called for estab- lishment of a perpetual care cemetery in addition to the regular cemeteries already in operation; obtain land and build an adequate shop and warehouse for City vehicles and materials; completion of the Wastewater Treatment plant and get the facility running smoothly; enlarging the water treatment facilities and additional water supply obtained. DEVELOPMENT The new Commission was faced with an important de- cision right at the start of their new year of duty. At the request of Ray Os- borne, representing Ben Dic- kens, president of St. Joseph Bay Estates, Inc., a request was made to make the sale of water and sewer services available to the real estate development which is getting underway just South of the City. In a written request to the Board, the developers asked if the services would be avail- able to the subdivision at the expense of the developers. They made a request .for services for 150 dwelling units by the end of 1976, 350 at, the end of 1977 and on up to 2,000 by the end of 1980. The subdivision is in the vicinity of the St. Joseph Bay Country Club. The Commission .told the (Continued on Page 6) 4 Mil PAGE TWO THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla.

EDITORIALS * * Gulf County Has Madelts Mark - .. '14"** A*~ '* SThis month Gulf County reaches its 50th anniversary as'a county and .the people here in the county are going to mark the occasion with I:gusto as they celebrate for a full nine c days. There are several people still -around who remember every day of that 50 years and of the events which sp~vned the county off Calhoun ;back in 1925. '' Being 50 years of age has Different meanings for different people. A couple who has been married for 50 years savour the past ,t years and realize it is the twilight of - their existence together. A man reaching his 50th birthday is an old man to a teen-ager, a middle-ager to himself and just reaching maturity .to others. A home 50 years of age has ,: been paid for at least once. A chair S50 years old is an antique. A county 50: yrs of age is just begiriYrig to get i6to history. S What does being 50 years of age S mean to, Gulf County?

We read in the papers where a company in Wisconsin is making a pile of money selling bras for milk cows. The president of the company explains that a large cow udder can weigh up to 80 pounds, and, is supported only by skin and a few ligaments: The reason for the bra is that the cow may damage its udder by stepping on it. Too, an uncovered udder gets cold and hard, making it uncomfortable for the cow. Bras for cows had to be invented just at the time when female homo sapiens were doffing theirs.

Other Editors Are Saying: One of the sorriest chapters in the history of our system of justice was written this week when our elected offi- cials in Tallahassee allowed Supreme Court Justice David McCain to resign his office effective August 31, 1975 rather than face an almost certain vote of impeachment by the House of Representa- -ives. I cannot for the life of me see how we can allow a man , who is under such an enor- S-mous cloud of suspicion sit on our highest court for four Aiore months and pass judg- ment on his fellow citizens. Everything that he.does will -be tainted and subject to sus- picion. SThe only way in the world to handle a case like this 'is to allow the Constitution to work in the prescribed manner. If the House thinks he is guilty, , then articles of impeachment should be voted and he should be suspended from office until he can be tried in the Senate. Our legislators and others claim a Senate trial would cost $200,000, and the way those fellows operate I don't doubt that it would. That cost has to be weighed against the cost of paying McCain, to sit on the Suggerie Cdiirt for an additional ':outil--months and the cost of not knowing for sure whether he is guilty or not. We have a right to know whether he is guilty or inno- cent and a Senate trial is the only way to find out. This business of "plea bargain- ing" with an elected public official is a good way for them to get off the hook without having to face the indignation of impeachment. -Holmes County Advertiser Langston On AU-Star Team Norris Langston of Port St. Joe was named to the N.A.I.A.

RAMSEY If a person can't find anything to do for the next nine days, he is just not looking or just plain hard to please. With Gulf County's Golden Anniversary celebration starting tomorrow, Gulf County citizens and guests will have a full agenda of entertainment such as softball tournaments, displays of antique cars, arts, crafts, patriotic exhibits, agriculture, industry, seafood and old homes, fishing rodeos, golf tournament, helicop- ter display, motorcycle and boat races, youth baseball tournament,water skiing contest, a grande ball to wind up events and speaking by dignitaries. Sunday afternoon, a religious rally will be held in the High School Commons area. There is something for everyone. According to the agenda, there will be visits and addresses by Senators Lawton Chiles and Richard (Dick) Stone, Rep. Bob Sikes, State Comptroller Gerald Lewis, Senators Pat Thomas and Dempsey Barron, former Senate President Mallory Horne and Representatives Earl utto and WayneMixon ' All of this is the result of two years planning by a committee of citizens, considerable expense on the part of Gulf County government, industry and merchants and the efforts of Jesse Stone who has lost about 30 pounds in seeing the whole thing coordinated and set up properly. I've said it before and I'll say it again,, Jesse has done a job nobody else in the county would take the time to do in planning this event.and he is due a vote of thanks from the entire county. He probably won't get much more out of it, but he surely deserves that vote' of thanks. I. hope you participate in as many of the events as you possibly can and take advantage of what many people have worked long and hard to prepare for our enjoyment. Since most of our industry happens to be "on vacation" this week, you should have plenty of time to take in most of the happenings. It's 'too bad nobody thought of holding a "hollering" contest as one of the Anniversary Celebration events. I sawin the paper last week where a man in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania took the championship for being able to holler the loudest. The ladies were right in there, pitching, and a lady from Philadelphia took the honors for being able to holler, the longest. I think we have a few here in Gulf County who could probably qualify for this contest, had we only known it was going to be held. Bob Ellzey or Bo Bouington could certainly hold their own in such a competition. There are others who would Simplicity Eroded Fireplace Once Knew Love by CHARLIE WEBB Old brick fireplaces found occasionally along back-coun- try roads bring a nostalgia of the beautiful simplicity of a living era that colld never happen again, : The chimneys. o jhe fire- places ar9tei -gAone, with their artistic Brifk work around the chimney top. The beautiful handiwork of some wonderful pioneer brickmason is no more. Only the sagging fireplace remains, guarded by a bramble patch and rattle- snakes. The old fireplace could have warmed the home of a rich man or a sharecropper. What difference do either riches or poverty make to the old, weed- covered and snake infested fireplace today? What difference did the presence or absence of wealth make when it was new, warm and cheerful? If the fireplace could have a common denominator, it might not be found in the fan- tasy of riches nor the night- mares of poverty, but found in the warm hearts of the people sitting in a semi-circle around the sunken hearth of the fire- place during the cold winters of long ago. The simple wood mantel had a pretty, hand-crocheted cover. In the center was a clock that only father was allowed to wind and set. On one end there was a family picture and on the other a photo of grandpa and grand- ma. Around the mantel edge there were nail holes from the possible 10 to 14 children almost certainly place in the top three such as C. F. Gautreaux or Paul Sewell. As for the ladies, I remember going to a football game in Chipley a year or two ago and I was walking the sidelines, taking pictures when a young man carrying the yard marker chain said, "Mrs. Sanborn is here isn't she?" I remarked that I didn't know since I hadn't seen her. I allowed as how she probably was, though, since she usually supported the kids' activities. The young man then said, "I've never met her, but I recognize her voice from hearing her shut atthe Little League games when I was playing a few years ago". This isn't to say Mrs. Sanborn could actively participate in a hollering contest, but that young man "recog- nized her voice" above the roar of a football crowd. As I say, we have all kinds of talent here in Port St. Joe. There is usually an expert in most any field if you want to hunt him or her out. That goes for entrants in "hollering contests", too. I saw in the paper where Ed Ball was released from the hospital after having a cataract removed and a lens implant performed on his right eye. I knew those dime store glasses were going to ruin his eyes sooner or later. As the Legislature wound down last week with its law-making activities, it was learned the compulsory age for attending school would be lowered to 14 from the former 16, if Governor Reubin Askew allowed it to become law. If the compulsory attendance law isn't enforced anywhere in the state any, more than it is irGulf County, they could just1-ei*fv: thie-law from the books entirely and make room for another one. My wife is a fine cook and I'm a living advertisement to the tastiness of her dishes. Sometimes, however, she goofs. Sunday at dinner, I sat down to the meal and was served a bowl of what she called seafood gumbo. She had made the gumbo with an extra generous portion of crab meat and shrimp. Then, to give it a more tomatoe-y appearance, she put a dash of red food coloring into the pot. Presto! We had pink seafood gumbo, about the color of pink lemonade. It didn't look good at all. Frenchie put the evil eye on me and said, * "You've got to eat it; there's $10.00 worth of shrimp and crab in that pot." After the spoon passed out of sight on its way into the mouth the stuff was good. Funeral Services Held for Troy M. Price, 39 Funeral services for Troy Mollison Price, 39, of 514 Fourth Street, were held Sun- day afternoon at three p.m. in the First Baptist Church of Port St. Joe. Burial was in the family plot in Holly Hill Cemetery. Mr. Price was a native of Ludowici, Georgia,. and had been a resident of this area for the past 11 years. He was an employee of the Apalachicola Northern Railroad, and a member of the First Baptist Church. hanging stockings at Christ- mas to receive an apple. Above the clock on the mantel was a faded but hum- ble plea which read, "Bless Our Home." The home was blessed with simplicity. Perhaps simplicity could be the only true factor within most all goodness and beauty: Some families before retir- ing for the night would get down on their knees and with heads resting in the chairs would give thanks for the priviledge of being alive in the warmth of the fireplace. This noble fixture, now erod- ing away forever in a lonely briar patch, was once sur- rounded by the wonders and loves of beautiful people like you. Survivors include his wife, Mrs. Betty K. Price; three children, Troy Stacy Price,, Karl Stanford Price and Deb- ra Ann Price, all of Port St. Joe; his mother, Mrs. Pearl- Griffis of Darien, Ga.; and six sisters, Mrs. Lila Pruitt and Mrs. Florence Rowe, both of Darien, Ga.; Mrs. Minnie Hearn and Mrs. Dorthy Cain of Hinesville, Ga., Mrs. Ferris Brodgon of Jacksonville, and Mrs. Elvie Jackson of Savan- nah, Ga.

This was the case recently when Mrs. David (Myrna) Fernandez- left, and her sister, Brenda Weech of Orlando were re- united with their father, Jos- eph E.

From its beginning in 1907 until 1936 the fortunes of the line were anything but specta- cular. The property went into receivership for the second. time on May 28, 1914 where it remained until February 21, 1916. In 1932 the operating ratio was 136.10; this, of course, meant that for every dollar taken in a dollar and 36 cents was going out. So, back into receivership for the third time. In fact, things got so bad S at one point that the Receiver S recommended to' the Federal ng Courts that the Railroad, its right-of-way and other proper- ty be sold for $60,000, as junk. But better days were com- 1, ing. In 1937 the Alfred I. duPont Estate, in the person of Edward Ball, acquired and assumed the operations of the Apalachicola Northern Rail- road.

Some 19,050 feet of mostly green, untreated structure was replaced by 17,353 feet of mostly steam pressured, creo- soted structure. Today, the principle inbound commodity is pulpwood, to' supply the huge St. Joe Paper Company. This traffic alone may run as high as 80 carloads per day. In addition, limestone is received in 10-car lots to supply Basic Magnesia, Inc. Various other commodities used in the manufacture of paper and paper products, such as chlorine, aluminum sulphate, etc., are also re- ceived. Outbound products consist of primarily paper products, viz: pulp, ranging up to 120,000 pounds per car; and boxes manufactured by the nearby Container Division of St.' Joe Paper Company. Syl- vachem Chemical Company produces tall oil, fatty acids and resins which are used in everything from paint to arti- ficial flavoring and which are shipped all over the United States and to Canada. From a fleet of five steam locomotives in 1937 the rail- road rolling ,stock has now grown to consist of eight SW- 1500 and three SW-9 diesel locomotives, manufactured by the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors, as well as one hundred pulpwood racks, the last 50 of which began to arrive in January, 1973. The operating ratio has shown considerable improvement too, dropping from 137.89 in 1937 to a consistently low ratio of expense to income, making the Apalachicola Northern one of the most successful rail- roads in the United States.

Post Office Opened In 1906 was dismantled in 1965. In November of 1920 the post office as moved to the Masonic Hall building on North Reid Avenue. The post office once again moved before its pre- sent location on Highway 98. Much correspondence is contained in the early files of the Apalachicola Northern Railroad relating to the esta- blishment of the post office in Port St: Joe and to the esta- blishment of regular mail service. One interesting letter dated October 12. 1910, from R. B. Coleman, General Manager of the railroad to S. H. McPhaul and B. H. Graves, conductors, instructed them to refrain from handling any U. S. Mail on the train out of Port St. Joe except that delivered in the mail sack by Postmaster Stone. This step was taken to force cancellation through the post office in order that suffi- cient cancellations would jus- tify a regular daily post office , and regular mail service to Port St. Joe must be given primarily to the Apalachicola Northern Railroad. A small post office was esta- blished, about one mile south- east of the present business district of Port St. Joe on May 18. 1906. Port St. Joe had not been named and the post -office was called Indian Pass. Henry D. Collins was the first postmaster of the Indian Pass : office. Fourteen months later on July 25. 1907. T. H. Stone was appointed postmaster and served until March 16. 1917, thus Mr. Stone was the second postmaster of Indian Pass and the first postmaster of Port St. Joe. Many years later Mr. Stone stated that the Indian Pass post office had no regular mail delivery and that he trans- ported the mail to and from Apalachicola twice monthly via horse and buggy. The first train came to Apalachicola on April 30, 1907. In the fall of 1909 the railroad was extended to Port St. Joe. This was a mile- stone in the postal service of Port St. Joe as the train as- sured the residents of a'regu- lar mail service. In 1910. the people who re- ceived their mail at Indian Pass post office petitioned the postal department to abolish that office and establish a post office in Port St. Joe. Later in 1910, Mr. Stone moved her mercantile business to the present Reid Avenue which was only a short distance from the Apalachicola Northern de- pot. With Mr. Stone's business, move. the post office was also moved. The first name sub- mitted for the post office was St. Joseph due to its historical significance. The second choice was St. Joe. Both of these names were rejected by the postal authorities in Wash- ington due to an already exist- ing post office in Pasco County named St. Joseph. The name of Port St. Joe was submittedthrough U. S. Senator J. F. Taliaferro who sen this name on to Washing- ton, June 20, 1910. The name Port St. Joe was approved by postal authorities and the town and post office received its official name August 3, 1910. The first post ol ice building in Port St. Joe was a small frame building located on the east of the present center of Reid Avenue. This building YOUR HOME from light fin- gers.

Excerpt from Gulf County History-Program Gulf County, with its cattle and 'its bee apiaries a veritable "land of milk and honey", was created out of Calhoun County, June 6, 1925, which in turn had been carved out of Franklin County. According to Dr. Mode L. Stone, long associated with Florida State University in Tallahassee, Gulf County, located in the Pan- handle of the Northwest Florida, is a county which has had at least three names and seven county seats. When Gulf was a part of Franklin County, Apalachicola was the county seat. In 1836 or 1837, 'Peter Gautier, Jr., a member of the Legislative Council of the Territory of Florida, proposed that the county seat be moved from Apalachicola to St. Joseph. Approved by this body, the move was denied by Congress and it was not until 1838 when Calhoun was created that St. Joseph became the county seat. Withthe decease of St. Joseph the county seat was moved to Abe Springs. Later it was moved to River Landing near Blountstown and still later to Blountstown proper. The creation of Gulf County necessitated another move, and Wewahitchka was the selection. Forty years later it was moved to its present location in Port St. Joe. Gulf County was the 66th to be created (just six months prior to Gilchrist), and it was named for the Gulf of Mexico,'on which the county borders on the south. The name "Satsuma" had been proposed and the vote was actually being taken when T. H. Stone suddenly jumped to his feet with a "Hey! Wait a minute! You know and I know that a freeze could come and destroy every one of those satsumas, but that Gulf will never run dry. Let's name it "Gulf"! "Gulf" it was-and "Gulf" it is! In 1925 the Honorable Theo D. Levins, Representative from Calhoun County and the Honorable W. Riley McDaniel, Senator, intro- duced the same bill in the House and in the Senate, and on June 6, 1925, 369,920 acres of Calhoun County became Gulf County-a happy occasion for the people of this area. For quite a while there had been a move to divide Calhoun County, mainly because of the distance to the county seat in Blounts- town, and the difficulty of receiving.recogni- tion for this area. Among those promoting the project were B. W. Eels, George Patton, A. M. Jones, Henry Drake, Joe Hunter, Dave Gaskin, Judge Chafin, James A. Kelley, Charles Morgan, and Ed Pridgeon, but there was no one who desired this move more, or was in a better position to realize the need than T. H. Stone. As Commissioner of Calhoun' for a number of years, he had made those long treks by horse and buggy to Blountstown month after month, and so excited was he when the deed was finally done that he went that same day to a photographer and'had his picture made. The first officers of Gulf County were as follows: County Judge, E. Clay Lewis, Jr.; Sheriff, W. J. McDaniel, followed by J. E. Pridgeon; Clerk of Circuit Court, J. R. Hunter; Tax Assessor, G. W. Hinsey, followed by S. L. Stone; Tax Collector, Theo D. Levins; Superintendent of public Instruction, B. W. Spear; Supervisor of Registration, J. A. Whitfield. The first County Commissioners included: J. J. McDaniel, Chairman; H. E. Rish; S. F. VanHorn; A. D. Lawson and G. A. Patton. E. Clay Lewis, the first Judge, served in this capacity for a year. He then resigned and was elected the first Representative. B. W. Eells was Representative and J. L. Sharit Senator at the time of the Centennial Cele- bration of Old St. Joseph in 1938. The Wewahitchka Court House, still a handsome building in 1975, was built in 1926 and dedicated in 1927, the home of the county's business until the county seat was re-located in Port St. Joe. It is interesting that while this building was being constructed the county business was carried on in the homes of the new officers, especially that. of the Clerk of the Circuit Court, J. L. Hunter, and that after comple- tion, it was used as a "play-house" by some of the children of.the county officers, especially the children of Tax -Collector Theo Levins, who had recently lost his wife. His daughter, Millie, even tells of hiding under the desk of the Judge (and with his knowledge) while court was in session. It is also interesting to note that the chairman of county commis- sioners, J. G. McDaniel, at the time of.the dedication of the new courthouse, is the grandson of the earliest chairman, J. J. McDaniel. The new courthouse in Port St. Joe, a .large modern building, is elaborate in every detail. It was dedicated on February 23, 1968, and in this spacious setting, the work of the county goes forward. As a result of damage sus- tained from flooding on or about april 11, 1975, in the State of Florida,, the Small Business Administration de- clared on May 23, Gulf County and adjacent affected areas, as disaster areas, making Disaster Loan Assistance available.
