Chairman Stone Introduces Dignitaries Gulf County's Golden Anni- versary celebration got off to a wet start Saturday as rain drenched Wewahitchka but ended here in time for an afternoon parade. The steady downpour pre- vented marchers from taking to the streets in Wewahitchka at nine a.m. By 1:30 p.m., the weather cleared here and U. S. Sen. Richard Stone dedi- cated a new courthouse mark- r. . Celebration chairman, Jesse Stone, presided over the .program and introduced the many public figures present *:for the occasion. Senator Rich- ard (Dick) Stone gave the main address of the morning, dedicating a marker placed in -front of the Courthouse, desig- ,nating it the "New Court- house" in Gulf County, and the county's second official seat of government. Gulf County's Representa- tive William J. Rish.introduc- ed Senator Stone as a man "Always concerned about the problems of all areas of our state. He served with distinc- tion as a State Senator, and Secretary of State and now as our United States Senator in Washington." Stone had kind words to say for the Florida Legislature. and the people of Gulf County. Of the Legislature he said, "1 am proud to tell my colleagues I was a part of the Florida Legislature which is recogniz- ed as one of the finest in the nation Florida government has set the pattern for many of the stat-go.ernments to fol- low and they have initiated many practices which are now used even by the United States Congress." Of Gulf County, Stone said, "You are one of the original areas of Florida and the nation. Our state was born here and you have maintained t, the hQritage of hard-working. honest and God-fearing people which has made this nation strong over the years E Of the state of the nation, the Senator said. "This country is not about to weaken itself in anx \ ay. We will continue to pay the price to maintain armed forces second to none - in the .world." U. S. Sen. Lawton Chiles of Lakeland put in an appear- ance, walking the streets and chatting with those who came to this northwest 'Florida county on the Gulf of .Mexico. An estimated 5,000'to 6,000 persons turned out for the parade here. It began at 3 p.m. and lasted for about 45 min- utes. Several military units, in- cluding a Marine drum and bugle corps, an Army color guard and an. Air Force band, participated in the parade. A Marine 50-ton tank was fea- tured in the parade which fol- (Continued on Page 8) r t . Sen.

DavisCalls for Budget Cut 'Requests A 10% Reduction In Fiscal 1976 Budget County Commission Chair- man Otis Davis asked the Board to approve Tuesday morning, instructions -to all departments of the county to begin preparing their budgets for the new year. Davis also asked that 'each department head be instructed to reduce his last year's budget by 10 percent. Davis asked that all department heads be written a letter instructing the budget '.- reduction, giving each phase of county government an op- portunity to make the choice where the cut would be made. Davis, who goes directly to the point, and doesn't embroi- der his remarks with a lot of extra language said he thought a cut in spending was necessary and doing it this way would allow the people most familiar with money needs in each department to decide where the cuts would be made. Davis stressed sal- aries should not be included in the cut of expenses, but that no wage increases should be included in the several budget requests to be sent to the Board. Earlier in the current bud- get year, Davis had asked that each department head reduce his spending from the, budget- ed items due to a decrease in income because of the reces- sion. With the request Tuesday, it. will now be the County Board's responsibility at bud- get. time to take care that enough money is provided to adequately fund necessary services rather than be faced Woman Treated Tuesday for Gunshot Wound Mrs. Clara Gardner, 55, of 203 Main Street, was treated ,At Municipal Hospital Tues- day evening for a gunshot wound in the arm. Police arrested Mrs. Gard- ner's husband, Steve Gardner, r in connection with the shoot- ing which, police said, result- ed from a family argument. The shooting was reported about 6:15 p.m., Tuesday by City Patrolman Oscar Jones, '" who investigated the incident along with Patrolman James Graves and Gulf County Depu- ty Sheriff Mike White. Mrs. Gardner was shot in the left forearm with a .32 caliber pistol. She was releas- ed after treatment of the wound at the Municipal Hospi- tal. No charges had been filed against Gardner Tuesday night, but charges were ex- pected to be filed yesterday. with the job of reducing requests to meet the income. CONTINUE 4-DAY WEEK The Commission voted Tuesday to continue with the 10-hour four day work week for its Road and Mosquito Control Departments after having undergone a 60 day trial period. Mosquito Control supervisor C. E. Daniell had returned his department to the five day week with an eight hour work day the first of the month when the trial period expired, but he has since returned his department to the new plan. Daniell said he met problems with spraying operations five days a week and garbage disposal schedules. Daniell told the Board he could stag- ger his duty rosters and still maintain' the service while working his employees on the new plan. Commissioner Everette Owens said the Mosquito Con- trol Department alone had showed savings of $1,000 a month in operation costs un- der the new plan. FLOOD INSURANCE In a matter of a few weeks, Gulf County landowners will be eligible to purchase flood insurance. County Attorney William Rish answered the question of Commission El- dridge Money, "What do we need to do to become eligible", by saying that adoption of an ordinance would make the county eligible for the insur- ance. Rish said the County must adopt its subdivision regula-. tions to become eligible for the special insurance which will soon be required by all lending' agencies to finance new home* construction. Rish said the. regulations are complete and the Board needed to study them carefully before the next meeting when they will be presented for adoption. The regulations were drawn up largely by the Gulf County Planning Committee, under the guidance of the North'vest Florida Planning and Devel- opment Council. PRIDGEON SAYS Tax Collector Harland Prid- geon told the Commission he was, still holding up on collec- tion of five tax bills which were disputed due to assess- ments. Pridgeon said it was time for him to close out his tax rolls and these five cases still hadn't been decided by the courts. "I can't collect until they are decided", Prid- geon said, "and I can't close my books until they have been disposed of". Attorney William J. Riush said the cases would be com- pleted and an agreement reached within.a week, after which collection could be made. Pridgeon said he had been notified he would receive the new stickers for automobile tags in time for them to go on sale Jul.\ 1 "Under the new program, a person should buy his tag under the name on his driver's license", Pridgeon said. "When we sell the new tags, we must now find out the birthday and sex of those buying a tag." "How are you going to check those things out?" Financial Officer Jerry Gates asked. OTHER BUSINESS In other items of business, the Commission: -Agreed to a request by (Continued on Page 8) Local Boys Rescue Pilot from Bay Eight local boys and a visitor from Niceville, rescued the Air Force pilot who para- chuted to safety in St. Joseph's Bay early Friday morning.

The boys were in the vicinity where the pilot came down, water skiing. They watched him descend on his parachute and plucked him out of the water almost immediately and took him to the shore where he was picked up by an Air Force helicopter.

Moynihan, as his further testimony made clear, was not taking sides with Israel per se, but was seeking to uphold the usefulness of the United Nations. He pointed out that settle- ment of the Arab-Israeli dis- pute was being sought on the basis of UN resolutions and that if Israel were expelled from the UN, it would have no obligation to comply with the UN resolutions and no com- mitments to the world organi- zation to seek a peaceful solu- tion.

All of you that can recall being awakened before *daylight each morning by the soft grinding' vibrations of a hand coffee mill on the kitchen wall and later on to experience the aroma of coffee steaming from a tin pot on the back eye of a slow-burning wood stove know the importance that coffee played in the start of each day of most pioneers. The great aroma of the coffee was intensified by the warm delicious air from fat buttermilk biscuits in the oven of the stove and the good smell of home cured ham and thick patties of sage-seasoned sau- sage, slowly frying in an iron skillet on top of the stove. Early settlers would walk miles, often on dim trails and foot logs over swollen creeks, to borrow a cup of coffee beans from a neighbor. Some- times they stayed overnight and helped with the farm chores. Pioneers had a humble and deep pride in the number'of against Israel; it would no longer serve as an intervening force separating the combat- ants while grounds for peace- ful resolution of the conflict are being sought.

To Share Costs of Timber Stands By Ralph J. Edenfield, County Forester The Federal Government will share the cost of esta- blishing or improving com- mercial stands of timber with private landowners under the Forestry Incentive Program. This is .for tree seedlings. planted 'during December,',. January and February, or for timber stand improvement work during other times of the year. To qualify for payments under this program, landown- ers in Bay and Gulf Counties must first apply'through Les- lie Cobb, Director of the ASCS Office, P. O. Box. 1818, Pan- ama City, 32401. This office is located in the Bay County Courthouse Annex. Cost share payments for es- tablishing stands of timber run at five specified payments from $18.00 per acre to $70.50 per acre. The amount of each payment is dependent upon the cost required for prepar- ing and planting trees on a specified site. These payments are based on paying 75 per cent of this cost. There are six different levels of payment under the practice for improving exist- ing stands of timber. Each of these payments under this practice is designed to im- prove a specified condition in a partial stand of timber. They too will pay approximately 75 percent of the cost of work n heded under each practice. Landowners in Bay and Gulf Counties can obtain help in growing timber by contacting the County Forester, 715 West 15th Street, Panama City 32401. Adult Summer Classes Start The Gulf County Adult School will begin summer classes Monday, June 16. The following classes will be offered: High school comple- tion .at the Centennial Build- ing; woodworking and adult drivers ed. at Port St. Joe High School and general edu- cation at Beacon Hill.

Letters.. to the Editor Open Letter to the Editor: Dear Mr. Ramsey,, The Kiwanians wlbicto take this opporttVjtyg.fderI being, recognized by the Editor re- cently to inform interested persons the six objects of Kiwanis. 1. To give primacy to the human and spiritual, rather than to the material values of life, 2. To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relationships. 3. To promote the adoption and the applications of higher social, business, and profes- sional standards. 4. To develop, by precept and example, a more intelli- gent, aggressive, and service- able citizenship. 5. To provide, through Ki- wanis Clubs, a practical means to form enduring friendships, to render altruis- tic service and to build better communities. 6. To cooperate in creating and maintaining that sound public opinion and high ideal- ism which make possible the increase of righteousness, jus- tice, patriotism and good will. The primary purpose of the Editor and the Newspaper is to gather news, sell advertis- ing, and relate facts so people Etaoin Shrdlu By: WESLEY R. RAMSEY I was highly disappointed at the crowd (or lack of it) which appeared at the Courthouse Saturday afternoon to hear an address by Senator Richard (Dick) Stone. Senator Stone didn't express any disappointment, but I'm sure he felt it. Not only was Stone there, but so was Senator Lawton Chiles, walking through the sparse crowd, shaking hands and talking with -the people. There were many other state and local officials present for the occasion. If an actual count was taken, the dignitaries probably ran a close race with the citizens for attendance. Somebody asked me what it took to get a crowd together in Gulf County. "Feed them burned mullet and raw hushpuppies and you'll fill the stadium", I said. George Core added that a noisy, off-tune country band would do the trick also. Don't expect a visit from the men who are voting to spend the billions of dollars of Federal money to get any attention. We had rather spend our time griping at what they do, rather than waste 30 minutes 'to talk to them eyeball to eyeball and tell them what we think. Those who were not present also missed a good performance by the Marine drum and bugle corps as they raised the flag and played several numbers for the program. It's hard to imagine men with the timing and discipline these men had in their show of raising the flag and playing. After you think of it for a while, one has to get up a little enthusiasm for that proposal a while back by a city official over around Chipley who advocated bringing back the public hanging. At least we could get a crowd together for a spectacle such as that. It was interesting to hear the program George Tapper put on at the Rotary Club last Thursday. George was in charge of the program and, for some reason or other, his program didn't show. So George rose to the occasion by asking each lotarian who they would favor for the Presidendy of the United States in the 1976 elections. President 'Gbrald Ford was the odds on favorite of mos RAotarians. In fact if he polls the percentage of the'vote in the election as he did in the Rotary Club,. he will win and be:our .next. four-year 'President. Next in line was Ronald' Reagan, but Reagan received only half the votes Ford did. "Scoop" Jackson and George Wallace came in a poor third and fourth in the straw poll. Senator Teddy .Kennedy didn't receive the first vote. i In his speech Saturday afternoon, Senator Stone said he voted with the majority in defeating the attempt to reduce the defense budget by $1.2 billion. I'm glad the' Senator recognized the real need to keep our nation strong so we can continue to observe anniver- saries which tell the story of our free nation. It would have been a tragic thing if the Congress watered down our defense capability at this time when we are getting ready to celebrate our bicentennial as a free nation-an experiment which has meant more to the people of the United States and the world than any other form of government in history. As almost a direct opposite of Senator Stone we read in the paper this past week end of Senator Frank Church. You know Senator Church: he's chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Talk about your mis-casting! Senator Church claims the CIA is guilty of ordering the murder of world leaders because of their politics of enslaving people. It's hard to condone murder, but we have executed men in the United States for less heinous crimes than Fidel Castro, Chou En Lai and Mao Tse Tung are guilty of. We also have a sizeable number in our population who would go back to executing people for high crimes. Senator Church is one of those who would have us dis-arm, bring home all our troops and disregard what happens in the world outside of our own borders. He forgets the CIA's purpose is to provide this nation with the intelligence and try to make things go our way over the world. You don't get these kind of results by walking up to a world leader and saying "please". may be well informed. Often folks do not realize the fact that the Editor gives of himself long and tiring hours and of his newspaper free ad- vertising pertaining to not only functions of Kiwanis, but Chamber of Commerce, Jay- cees, Rotarians, Lions Clubs and others. Many of us realize that without his help, the fullfill- ment of most of the communi- ties projects would meet with tragic end. Oft times we over- look and take for granted those whose diligent work and quiet manners make our soci- ety a much better and happier place to live. We take this opportuntiy, long past due, to say Thank-You! But men must know That in this theatre of man's life, It is reserved only for God and Angels To be lookers on. The primary goal for each Kiwanian is not be "lookers on." Sincerely, Members of the Kiwanis Club of Port St. Joe.

SSafe Canning, Fr :1 CHICAGO-Making fruit preserves at home-even with a today's higher sugar prices- can mean savings over com- ? mercially prepared preserves 4 which may cost more than a n dollar a pound, says Dr. Ruth ,Patrick of the Louisiana Co- operative Extension Service. *' But, she adds, the safe and successful home canning of fruits .nd, vegetables requires the use ofl re.bmmended equipment, proper methods and tested recipes. Interest in canning and freezing has increased greatly 'due to high food costs and- growing enthusiasm for gar- dening. As a result, more than 88,000 young people across Sthe country are currently en- rolled in the 4-H food preser- vation program sponsored by kerr Glass Manufacturing Corporation and conducted by the Cooperative Extension Service. 4-H members from 9 to 19 are "learning by doing" that : the safe and economical pre- servation of foods at home is both a creative art and a science. Safe preservation Since improperly preserv- ed foods mean wasted pro- duce and lost time spent in preparation, plus the possibil- ity of serious illness, 4-H'ers are encouraged' to study and apply the basic scientific prin- ciples necessary for safe food handling and processing. Projects stress the use of seasonal produce-especially locally or home grown fruits and vegetables. The benefits are better nutrition, more var- iety in meals, and a well- stocked pantry and freezer at lower cost. For the 47th year, Kerr is her sisters; Mrs. Joe Mira; Mrs. Steve Adams; Mrs. Sid- ney Ellis and Mrs. Clyde Fite. Miss Weeks and her mother were presented corsages. A centerpiece arrangement of spring flowers enhanced the table and tiny baskets of flowers with the. place card settings added a festive note to the table.

Fresh flowers and greenery among the silver appointments containing dainty sandwiches, nuts, mints and orange balls en- hanced the setting. Mrs. Chris Earley presided at the silver coffee service.

Bottle Show Display Draws Huge Crowds The Northwest Florida Reg- ional Bottle Club held its first show June 7th and 8th in the Centennial Building. Exhibits of. rare bottles and artifacts were from Alabama, Georgia, and other parts of Florida, as well assome fine local collec- tions. Planning for this show had begun over a year ago, and much work was involved pre- paring displays and exhibits. Praise must be given to the David Barfields, the Billy Lesters, the "Bo" Boyetts, the Tootles, and other club mem- bers, who worked hard to make the show a success. The club really appreciates the many comments of praise, etc., that came from the hundreds of visitors, both local and out-of-town people. "Fantastic," "Great," "I can't believe this could hap- pen here", "Why don't you keep it open all the week?" were repeated many times. The Carl Meares family of Ft. Payne, Alabama, had four displays that all took ribbons. Mr:rMeares Drug Store Bottle- 'Iisplay was given the "Old Bottle Magazine" award for "Best Showmanship". The Billy Lesters' "Jenny Lind" display won a blue ribbon and "Best of the Show" award. There were 20 other exhibits that included Inks, Black Glass, Indian Artifacts, Kit- chen Displays, Nursing Bot- tles, and Sea Shells, with many ribbons. The bottle club members - spend much of their time doing, research in the early history of this area. Some have traveled to Tallahassee- to read the micro-filmed docu- ments, and newspapers of the early days. The club publishes its own newsletter which covers research in glass-mak- ing, glass-blowers, history of this area, and other 'related activities. The club invites anyone who is interested in bottles to join them so that they may share in these acti- vities. Due to the good response from local people and visitors, plans are being made now for another show. The club would like to express its gratitude to the City of Port St. Joe, to Jesse Stone, and the Golden Anniversary Commission for helping to make the show a success. "Gabriel" Coming to L.A. Church The Long Avenue Baptist Church of Port St. Joe an- nounces the coming of a gospel singing group known as "Gabriel" to visit their church on Tuesday evening, June 17, at 8:00 p.m., eastern daylight time. This group, from the Parkview Baptist Church in Baton -Rouge, Louisiana, is composed of five young peo- ple. They are all students at Louisiana State University. Many people think of a trumpet when Gabriel is men- tioned. In the Bible, however, Gabriel is always bearing a momentous message for the Lord. These five young people have come together with one purpose in mind-to bring the message of Jesus Christ. Their music ranges from ban- jo picking blue-grass to old Gospel to contemporary. The Long Avenue Baptist Church in Port St. Joe extends an invitation to all to attend. There is no admission charge.

Frye, Jr. Director COMMENTS ON THE OUTDOORS GAME AND FRESH WATER FISH COMMISSION While most of Florida's sportsmen are talking about the newly installed quota sys- tem for the upcoming hunting season, the tales of the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commis- sion "Hybrid Hawg", a cross -between White and Striped Bass, are attracting the atten- tion of quite a few fishermen throughout the state. For example. when our Fisheries Division workers eased almost 12,000 finger- lings into Lakes Ida. Osborne and Catherine in Palm Beach County alone, and: matched this stocking activity in many other- areas across the state, 'fishermen were hardly apa- thetic about our efforts. They know enough about fish and fishing to spend a little patient waiting for the four and five pounders they can look for- ward to in a few short years. Speaking of stocking, did you note the surplus Deer moved from such. areas as the non-hunted Cape Kennedy missile site, onto Wildlife Management Areas across the state? The hunter who missed the news stories about the ac- tivities of the Game Manage- ment personnel will certainly notice an improvement in herd size in the coming season. Wild hogs have been trans- planted, food plots increased in numbers and size. con- i [rolled burning improved huin. dreds olacre- of wildIie habi- tat, boat ramps were built,. and in general, the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission has done another outstanding job of working year around for the sportsmen of Florida. Not to be outdone, the Law Enforcement division, in its expanded state, has trained, equipped and fielded a highly trained crew of professional state law enforcement officers who have shown their ability to get their own type of work done in the proper manner. Although most governmen- tal agencies tend to boast on what they have done for the citizens of their .own baliwick, the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission simply stood back a step, advised the license buyers and general public that the "Men in Green" were on the job as they have been for more than 30 years, and re- turned to the immense task of providing the most in quality outdoor experiences for the greatest number of outdoor- oriented sportsmen. The old saw about, "What have you done for us lately?" isn't .thrown at the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission. Florida sportsmen know what we have done, are doing right now, and will try our best to continue to do in the future.

America Is in the midst of what Is possibly the worst epidemic in its history. This is an epidemic that has spread to every city, town, village and community. I refer to the indiscriminate abuse of drugs dangerous drugs which can and have killed hundreds of young people in the country. These are drugs which are both legitimate from a medical standpoint and illegitimate and Illegal medically and legally. They are used to attempt to get a "high" and escape from reality, but in doing so they distort the mind In such a fashion that the user many times is not re- sponsible or aware of his actions. They cause distortion of the senses and werld hallucinations which can have serious consequences both from their effect on the senses and upon the physical well-being of the body. This epidemic has progressed to the state where young people are sniffing glue, cleaning fluid, gasoline and other petroleum products totally unaware, apparently, of the serious: and permanent damage which they can do to certain Important body organs such as the kidneys, liver and brain itself. They are smoking "pot" and taking LSD both of which can be found wihtin hours if you go. looking for it, so the law enforcement officials tell me. Now organized crime, the Cosa Nostra, is entering the picture to an ever increasing extent. Briefly, what are these drugs we keep hearing about? First of all, are the amphetamines, the central nervous system stimulants, the "pep pills". They are commonly used medically for appetite suppression, and are familiar to us as dexadrine, benzadrine, dexamyl, etc. These cause tremors, rapid heart rate, elevated blood pressure, pal- pitation and an overdose, may cause convulsions and death. Methamphetamine or "Soeed" Is included in this group. ', :- Second are the barbiturates, the central nervous system depressants, the "sleeping pills" used medically to induce sleep and relieve agitation and hyperactivity states. Some of their more common names are secondal, nembutal, tuinal, etc. They. produce depression of the senses, decreased heart and respiratory rate, and in overdose, coma and death. A synergistic effect exists when mixed with alcohol producing grave emergency situations to sustain life. Third are the hallucinagenic drugs such as LSD, mesca- line, psilocybin And peyote. These drugs have no medical value and are taken exclusively to produce hallucinations and the "trip". LSD Is the most commonly used and can be made in any well equipped laboratory. It is so powerful that. one ounce Is enough to send 250,000 people on a "trip" and when mixed with water, the amount that will cling to the head of a pin can send one person on a "trip" when placed on a piece of candy or the back of a postage stamp. "Bad trips" from the use of this drug are common and can occur from the first use and last for several years aq psychotic episodes with terrifying "flash backs." Medical research has also discovered a chromosomal derrangement which can effect future offspring of the user. There may also be a connection with the use of the drug and leukemia. Research continues with this most dangerous drug. Marijuana is the "gray" area in drugs at the present time since we as yet have not found any dangerous physical effects from its use. We do know that a "rflarijuana psychosis" can occur as 'reported In the Journal of the American Medical Association. We also know that it is a mind expanding drug which distorts the senses of time, sound and space, and causes people to do things under a non-inhibited state that they would not do normally. Operation of a motor vehicle can be extremely dangerous to the user and the innocent motorist. Narcotics such as heroin, morphine, demerol. etc. are physically addicting drugs with severe and agonizing withdrawal symptoms which will cause the addict to do anything to support a habit which must be gratified every four hours. He must steal, murder and prostitute himself to support this habit which will cost him $20 to $30 every four hours. For more information about these drugs, I suggest that you write the National Institute of Mental Health. Wash- ington, D.C. A responsible and educated parent is the best single means of immunizing the community against the further spread .of..our epidemic ... First of .all educate yourself on the drugs..and the problem so you can intelligently discuss the problem with your children and give them guidance. pon't evade the problem, but be prepared to meet it head on- They are looking to you for answers. Be ready to give them the right ones. Re-establish the family as a unit. Spend time with your children and above all listen to them and talk to them. They have some very different ideas and questions and want tp talk about them and seek answers. Please don't turn them off. The family that talks together lives together. Don't be afraid to discipline, they are asking for it many times and expect it, and when it doesn't come they lose respect and become confused. Be careful of the double standard which has crept into our society and says that what is a yes-yes for the parents Is a no-no for the young people. If you don't mold the mind in,your image then don't hold the young people responsible for their mis- givings.

THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 1975 PAGE ELEVEN Law Forbids Buggies On Dunes In Areas Under New Setback Law "'The newly passed law for- bidding the driving of buggies or other vehicles on sand dunes in counties where the coastal setback lines has been set is now being strictly en- forced," Harmon Shields, exe- cutive director of the Depart- ment of Natural Resources, warned today. Shields stated, "We are edn- forcing the law according to the statute with cooperation of the local sheriffs, Law En- forcement Officers from the Marine. Patrol and officials from the Department's Bu- reau of Beaches and Shores." The director said signs waning dune buggy drivers that it is against the law to drive on the .coastal "areas have been prominently placed in the counties being patrol- led. He named Franklin, St. Johns, Flagler and Volusia counties as the chief areas where violations have been- the heaviest and where a con- centrated effort of enforcing the law is being made. "But all other counties where the setback lines are established also are being patrolled," he added. Gulf County has had coastal set- back lines established for it. Personnel from the Bureau of Beaches and Shores, work- ing with the Marine Patrol, made two arrests and gave' five warning tickets last week- Little Girl Lands Huge Fish end to offenders on St. George Islandin Franklin County. They are continuing patrol duty on the island in coopera- tion with and assistance from: the local sheriff's office -and the Marine Patrol. Other personnel from the Bureau of Beaches and Shores have been assigned to Flagler, St. Johns and Volusia coun- ties, where they will be assist- ed by the Marine Patrol and local law enforcement agen- cies.

Star Photo New Stickers On Sale July 1 to Update License Plates Validation stickers that automobile and truck owners will begin buying July 1 have already been successfully manufactured and delivered to all county tax collectors. according to the Florida Divi- sion of Corrections. The stickers will be pur- chased this year instead of license plates. The stickers come individually sealed in plastic envelopes on which are printed instructions on how and where to attach them to the license plate. Delivery to individual counties was com- pleted May 30. The sticker will make the license plate valid for another year. Another sticker will be purchased nextyear. A total of 7.1 million stickers were printed this year. The stickers were manufac- tured at Apalachee Correc- tional Institution, Sneads. in Northwest Florida. License plates are, still made at Union Correctional Institution, Raiford, but few are needed in years in which motorist buy stickers. New license plates are still needed for new auto owners in Florida and for those who trade cars and find they need a different type of license plate for their new vehicle. While the de- mand for license plates is down, improvements are being made in the production equipment, according to Cor- rections Industries Operations Bureau Chief William H. Kel- ley. The 7.1 million stickers were printed in six months by a crew of about 20 inmates supervised by two staff mem- bers. Making a full set of license plates takes a year for two shifts of 80 men. Kelley said. The stickers are consecu- tively numbered for account- ing purposes. Once properly attached to a license plate they cannot be removed in one piece. Kelley said. The State Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles pays the Division of Corrections five cents per stickers and 60 cents per license plate. Kelley said.
