Gulf County Superintendent
'--of Schools released a state-
ment this week indicating that
county schools -have achieved
a classroom teacher-student
ratio of slightly more than 19
to one. 'The figures were
compiled in the office of the
Superintendent, according to
Bidwell's statement.
The ratio at Wewahitchka
High School shows an average
of 19.2 students per regular
classroom teacher, as com-
'pared to 19.1 students per
classroom teacher at Port St.
Joe.High School.
Wewahitchka High School
had 19 classroom teachers and
364 students at the time .the
calculations were made. Port
St. Joe. High School at the
same time had 820 students
and 43 classroom teachers'.
Bidwell explained, however,
that the ratio changes frac-
tionally from week-to-week
because of'. enrollment
changes. He said the school
board has. worked conscien-
tiously to provide students,
regardless of which school


they attend, an equal chance
at an.education.
"To show how nearly they
have accomplished this elu-
sive goal, there was one time
recently when the student-
teacher ratios for the two
schools were exactly the
same," Bidwell said. "At that
time each of the two schools
had a ratio of 19.3 students per.
teacher."'
He said, "that kind of equal-
ity is a. goal that is seldom
achieved in any county."
He said the, Port St. Joe,
School sustained an enroll-
ment loss of 50 students during
the- 1974-75 school year,
prompting the superintendent
to recommend a reduction of
two teachers and one admini-
strator. He said no new'per-
sonnel, has been added at the
Wewahitchka school.
Bidwell said the compari-
sons were prompted by ratio
calculatiQn that apparently
was based on totals that in-
cluded non-regular. classroom
teachers. "That result was not
a true teacher-student ratio,"


he explained. "To get a true
teacher-student ratio, one
should just count the class-
room teachers and the stu-
dents." he said.
He explained that such per-
sonnel as principals, guidance
counselors and librarians are
not classroom teachers and
shouldn't be used in calculat-
ing teacher-student ratios.
The use of such non-regular
teachers in the calculations
would distort the result, since
a larger school can often be
operated with about the same
size administrative staff as a
smaller one.
"Each school would have a
principal," for example, "giv-
ing the Wewahitchka school a
principal-student ratio of 364
tol, as compared to 820 to 2, or
410 to 1, for Port St. Joe.'
Bidwell said the distortion
can be intensified by adding
other non-regular teachers,
such as librarians, and gui-
dance counselors, at least one
of which is required in each
school,. regardless of size.

Fire Destroys I

A dwelling house and a mobile home were destroyed at
Beacon Hill Beach early Tuesday morning by fire from
undetermined origin. The blaze started about I:00 A.M.
Tuesday morning in a small rental cottage, owned by Mrs.
Marguerite Scheffer and spread to the mobile home which
was also owned by Mrs. Scheffer. Both were totally
destroyed. An automobile parked outside the house was
damaged extensively.
Easterly winds kept the fire from destroying several
mobile homes which were close to the dwellings which were


Two Dwellings

ablaze.. Action by neighbors with garden hoses kept the.
mobile homes from getting hot enough to catch fire Their-
efforts were aided by the wind which was blowing the heat
and smoke in the opposite direction.
Fire departments from Port St. Joe, Highland View,
White City and Mexico Beach answered the alarm. Port St.,
Joe and Highland View did most of the fire fighting with the
other departments furnishing water in the area, which has no
fire hydrants or water systems sufficient for fighting fires.

The Port St. Joe City Com-
mission decided to curb some
of its services at their regu-
lar meeting Tuesday night--
services the Commission felt
the City shouldn't offer in the
first place.
Mayor Frank Pate asked -
that the City discontinue to
practice of removing trees,
stumps, and heavy under-
brush and trash removed from
new building lots and accum-
ulated from the construction
of houses or buildings..
Commissioner Jerry Sulli-
van said he felt the prohibition
should also extend to instances
in which property owners
clear trees from already esta-
blished homesites.
Street Superintendent Dor-
ton Hadden told the Commis-
slop he really didn't have the
personnel nor the equipment
to perform these services, but
that he had done so in the past.
Hadden said such activities tie'
up his crews, dragline and a.
truck or two for 'sometimes
days at a time.
Clerk Charles Brock told the
Commission, upon question-
ing, that the City had not been
sending' bills for this service,
even though a price of $5.00'
per truck load had been esta-
blished some years ago. Had-

President At Banquet Friday


Gibson Will Lead Rotary


Dr. Tom Gibson will assume the presi-
dency of the Port St. Joe Rotary Club today,

Al Cathey was presented the
Lion of the Year award at the
annual installation banquet of
the Port St. Joe Lions Club
held Friday evening at the,
Harbour House.
Lion of the Year is a coveted
award among Lions, which is
voted upon by the member-
ship to select the Lion most
displaying such qualities as
.outstanding service both to the
club and to the community.
The Lions Club sponsored
three money-making projects
during the past year, which
netted $1,939.97 for Sight Con-
servation. Two horse shows,
in the fall and spring, and a
softball tournament were held.
The Club paid for 11 eye
examinations and purchased
11 pairs of glasses at a cost of
$374, for persons unable to buy
them. Four hundred dollars
($10 per local member) was
donated to the Florida Lions
Eye Bank Foundation. The
state foundation presented the
local club with an award in
recognition' of their contribu-
tion.
The local club also spon-
sored two boys to the Woody
Woodward Baseball Clinic and


two to the Northwest Florida
Basketball Clinic. These boys
would have been. unable to
attend if the Lions Club had
not sponsored them.,
Other special awards went
to Charlie Norton and John
Howard as 15 Year Monarchs,
having given 15 years to the
Club. Otho Whittle and Leo-.
nard Belin received special
recognition as 20 Year Charter
Monarchs, enabling them to
wear a chevron commem-
orating their service.
Tom P. Haney, installing of-
ficer and guest speaker, in-
stalled the following officers
for the new year: President,
Wendell Whitaker; 1st Vice
President, Rex Buzzett; 2nd
Vice President, Robert
Moore; Milo Smith; Secre-
tary-Treasurer, Al Cathey;
Lion Tamer, Quin Lowery;
Tail Twister, Tom Knox; Bob
Phillips and William Ramsey,
two-year Directors; and Leo-
nard Belin and Roy Smith, one
year directors.
In appreciation for their
support and consideration in
the past year, wives of -the
attending Lions were present-
ed with corsages.

den said this was not nearly
enough to pay for the expense
of clearing away such heavy
debris.
A short discussion was held
with respect to increasing the
charge to $10.00 or $15.00 per
truck load until Hadden said
the only way he had of effec-
tively removing such sub-
stances was by manpower and
"We just don't have the men to
do the job along with our other
duties," Hadden said.
As a result of discussions on
increased charges, limited
pick-ups and other matters
pertaining to the subject, it
was decided to discontinue
picking up such debris and
charging the property owner
with the responsibility of its
removal.
SPEEDERS CAUGHT
Assistant Police Chief
Roy Robinson told the:,.
Commission Tuesday night-
the Police Department had'
made 17 arrests for speed-
ing during the past week,-
levying $25.00 fines against
each of those caught and
charged.
Robinson said the arrests
were made with evidence
secured by the new "Radar*
Gun" which the Depart-
ment put into service last
week. Robinson said sev-
eral warnings were also
given in the program to
stop speeding on City thor-
oughfares.
Robinson told the Com-
mission the device is being

Patrol Says*

23 to Die

In Traffic

The traffic fatality predic-
tion for this year's Fourth of
July weekend is 23 persons
with the holiday period begin-
ning at 6:00 p.m., Thursday,
July 3, and ending at mid-
night, Sunday, July 6 said the
Florida Highway Patrol this
week.
Colonel Eldrige Beach, Pat-
rol Director said, "The com-
ing Fourth of July holiday will
be Independence Day for most
of us; however, for the fami-
lies of those killed in traffic
crashes, it will be a Memorial
Day."
Patrol records show that
last year, 26 persons lost
their lives on the state's
streets and highways during
the 78-hour Fourth of July
holiday period.
Beach urged every driver to
start his trip with the deter-
mination to follow common
sense rules to protect himself
and his family in highway
traffic. Failure to consider the
hazards of highway travel can
change a holiday to a night-
mare.
For those drivers who turn
deaf ears to appeals for safe,
courteous driving, Beach of-
fers the reminder that "every
available trooper will be on
patrol duty over the holiday
with orders to maintain strict
and impartial enforcement of
the state's motor vehicle
code."
"Fasten your seat belts
each time you ride in a car and
drive with courtesy and cau-
tion," concluded Colonel
Beach.

Bowling Alley

Suffers Theft
Gulf County Sheriff's office
said Tuesday thieves'had en-
tered the St. Joe Bowling
Lanes, taking money and pos-
sibly some items from the
snack bar stock.
Investigating officer, Depu-
ty Frank McKiethen said the
building was entered some-
time Monday night. The Dep-
uty said the Sheriff's Depart-
ment had gathered several
items of evidence at the scene
of the crime and are currently
investigating the incident.
No arrests had been made at
press time Wednesday.

The Department of Pollution
Control hardly seems to be playing
fair with Gulf County as we see it.
For two years, the county has been
working under guidelines to estab-
lish an adequate garbage disposal
pit in the north end of the county.
After they have done so, the DPC
changes its rules on the county.
For years, and even at the
present, the Department has sung
praises of our garbage handling pro-
gram. They have had only one com-
plaint: the garbage is buried too
near the surface water table. In Gulf
county that can't be helped since the
water table in most spots is just a
few feet below the surface. The
method in which the land-fill sites
were run were approved, however.
Now, with the location of a site
with sufficient elevation to cope with
the water table problem, the state
changes its rules. It is no longer
sufficient to maintain a good opera-
tion with regular covering of the
garbage. It is now necessary to


cover each day the dump is ope
use and a man must be station
the site to se'"that garbage
dumped in the right place.

Since Gulf county maintain

a man on the spot could get to
expensive item. Gulf and
smaller counties halve had to se
now to make ends meet in this
of service. It is expensive en
without the addition of more pe
nel and his needed services.
It seems to us that the DP4
made these regulations to fi
needs of the larger cities wi
taking the situation of the sm
counties into consideration. It s
to us this "servant of the pe

by applying rules which ca

,7 Sylvachem

Is World's

Largest
Jerry Sullivan told the 'ftot-
her ? ary Club about the local
ipt. Sylvachem plant at their regu-
ger lar meeting Thursday oPiast
ons week. Using a short talk and
slide presentation, Sullivan
outlined the history of the
local plant from its construc-
tion in 1956, to the present day.
The local plant started as
one of two plants operated by
the Glidden Company in Flor-
ida. The first plant was con-
7.50 structed in Jacksonville in
7. 1911. Both utilize by-products
of the forestry industry to
ble manufacture naval stores and
e chemicals used in many-pro-
ducts from food flavorings to
paper sizing, printing inks and
rely insecticides.
Recently, the local plant
became jointly owned by St.
Regis Paper Company and the
Glidden-Durkee Division of
SCM Corporation. The merger
with St. Regis was to secure a
larger supply of raw products,
which, in the case of the Port
St. Joe plant, is waste prlo-
ducts from the manufacture of
paper. Sullivan said that the
local plant was originally built
to use by-products from St.
Joe Paper Company. Growth
in recent years has been such
that the plant now depends on
St. Joe Paper for only seven
percent of its raw product.
The rest comes from as. far
away as Canada.
Mn for The main product of the
led at Sylvachem plant is tall oil, a
ge is, derivative from the pine.tree.
This The tall oil is then refined into
many products with values of
es for from 4c to $20.00 per pound.
The Port St. Joe plant is the
ns at world's largest single tall oil
times, fractionating facility, and is
designed to refine over 100,000
be an tons of crude tall oil a year.
other Tall oil derivatives include
crape fatty acids, rosins and distil-
area led tall oils. The products have
over 200 industrial and con-
ough summer, product applications
Trson- throughout the world.
The Jacksonville and Port
C has St. Joe plants hold over 128
U.S. patents dealing with or-
t the ganic chemicals, some of
without which are patented in as many
caller as 26 different countries.

the local plant's production is

ETAOIN SHRDLU
by WESLEY R. RAMSEY


Looking at the papers this past week, I see
where the stock market got all excited over the
movie issues and enjoyed a mild rally over the
film stocks. They were the vehicle which
provided the pressure for a spurt upward by the
market.
The story I read said the reason for the
interest in the movie stocks was because of the
success of such movies as "Jaws" and "The
Towering Inferno". As the story said, "The
market got excited ." Those who saw the
movies suffered the same ailment. I haven't seen
"Jaws" but I did go to see "The Towering
Inferno" and I can testify, it is exciting, from
beginning to end.

The Washington County News, up in Chipley
featured a story this past week that they had just
finished printing a "Possum Cook Book",
written by E. W. Carswell of Chipley.
Having read some of the writings of
Carswell, I can very well see how it would take
him an entire book to explain how to place the
possum in the pan, surround it with sweet
potatoes and bake it till it is done. Carswell is a
wordy gentleman.
I'm not being sarcastic of Carswell. I wish I
could do the same. It takes me hours of
searching, thinking and day-dreaming just to
come up with these few words each week.
Carswell can rattle on for columns at the time
over how to peel a grape:
I remember eating possum when I was just a
wee lad. The only way Momma ever fixed them
was, as we said; baked, with sweet potatoes
around the edge of the pan. If my memory serves
me correctly, possum wasn't a dish I'd walk a
mile for not even a half mile. Back then,
though, it was eat possum or rabbit until the
chickens got big enough to eat. The second
choice was to do without meat.
If Carswell's recipes on how to fix possum
taste as his swords read on occasion, I might
break a life-long vow and eat a possum again,
even though I don't have it to do or do without. A
fellow who will try chitterlings, as I have done on
occasion, would surely be adventureous enough
to try a possum fixed in a different way.
.I believe I'd like to get ,my hands on one of
those cook books and see what it looks like.


Circuit Judge Erwin Fleet of Fort Walton
Beach said last Tuesday he would not convene a
special Grand Jury to investigate the mat-
ter of Congressman Bob Sikes and the charges
against him by the New York Times and others
that he has indulged in a conflict of interest.
Later on in the week, the Judge said the
regularly scheduled session of the Grand Jury
could look into the matter if they wanted to.
Last Thursday, in a meeting of the
Panhandle League of Cities, I talked with my
friend Jerry Melvin, Representative of Okaloosa
County, about the matter. Jerry, who was a
former administrative assistant of Cong. Sikes
said the controversial bill on which the charges
were based was introduced at the request of the
Okaloosa Island Authority at the time, and that
Sikes had no interest in the Island at the time.
There'll probably be more about this matter
in the papers perhaps more than you would
care to read before it is ended.

In a related issue, I see where Senator
Hubert Humphrey's campaign chairman has
been sent to prison for illegally accepting
contributions for the Senator.
Meanwhile here in Florida, former Senator
Ed Gurney is on trial for the exact same thing.
I thought the Civil War and the day of the
Carpetbagger was over and done with.

I see where Pope Paul has gotten himself in
trouble with some of his churchmen for daring to
declare that there is a Devil and that he is alive
and active.
Us Baptists have said that all along, even
though some of us don't live like it. I take that
last statement back: many of us are living proof
that the Devil is alive and active today. As a
matter of fact, Pope Paul might point to the
churchmen who disclaim his statement as proof
that the Devil is alive and well and going strong.
Who stands to gain more than the Devil if we can
be convinced he is dead?
Keep at 'em Pope Paul, and if they give you
too much trouble, just join the ranks of some of
your former churchmen and nail a paper to the
door of the church then come join us Baptists. We
-believe what you say; Before I get.too far in, the
dog house, I know there are millions of Catholics
who believe him too.


Writing Teacher,


Kind Words


Release Hostilities


Tomorrow marks the 199th an-
niversary of the Independence of the
United States of America. As far as
we can see, the nation is still very
much alive and doing well, in spite of
the pessimists who foretell the doom
of our country.
A look backward over our
history should convince anyone that
the odds have never been in our
favor. As a matter of fact, during the
days of the fight for independence,
the few Colonies here on this side
of the Atlantic were up against the
largest military establishment in the
world at that time. Our tackling
Great Britian at the time would be
much .the same odds as Cuba
deciding to take on the United States
today. They -were badly out-num-
bered and faced an army and navy
which was the best equipped in the
world while the Colonists had one
rifle for 20 men. Too, in those days,
history tells us that fully 20 percent
of the Colonists were sympathetic to
the Crown and had no heart for the
revolution.
Coming on down through his-
tory, we have seen this nation
overcome adversity after adversity,
which everthrows stronger nations
today.
In the midst of settling this great
land, we were faced with a debilitat-
ing Civil War. Look at the nations
today which are floundering in the
doldrums because of past civil wars,


such as Spain, once the pride of the
oceans, Portugal, another former
giant, Greece, Italy, India: all had
the power and lost it because they
could not overcome adversity.
Some say good times will be the
downfall of the United States, But
even this past week, the columnists
-were writing of how the American
people are adjusting to a lesser
supply of energy, wealth and luxur-
ies. Americans are saving more and
buying less on credit today than they
have in the past 15 years.
Americans are resillient. They
have always been so. They are a
people who can get a sock on the
jaw, get up and think, "What should
I do now". Then they get busy and do
it.
We're not fearful of the future of
our nation. We see tough times
ahead: we have too many who want
what we have for it to be otherwise.
We also see a determination to. keep
this country strong, even though we
have our dissidents just as the
Colonists had when the nation first
was born. They will always be so.
The panacea for this and other ills,
though, is that we have a strong core
of people who are willing to do what
is necessary to see that America
remains the "Land of the free and
the home of the brave".
The brave will keep it so, in spite
of the cowering of the timid.

there's visible beauty in them.
The teacher of the writing
school would usually walk into
town, carrying all of his pos-
sessions in a cardboard suit-
case. He was a man of great
mental refinement. His hands
had a feminine beauty with
long delicate fingers that
could hold and stroke an ink
pen into a beautiful portrayal
of art in the handwriting
flowing from his thin fingers.
His only charge for the
school was a small cash dona-
tion and a place to eat and
sleep during the tenure of the
school. One adult student
would keep the instructor in
their home for one week and
another student the following
week. The hospitality of the
kindly pioneers left nothing
amiss in taking care of the
professor.
The teacher was given the
front bedroom which was re-
served'-for special occasions.
The feather mattress and pil-
lows on the bed were carried
outside and sunned each day
and brought back inside at
night for a downey-soft slum-
ber experience for the instruc-
tor.
Also, the home grown rice
prepared into a rich, vanilla
flavored pudding made it dif-
ficult for the teacher to back
away from the table at the
finish of the evening meal.
What was a man of this
ability and background trying
to escape by going around
through the country almost
barefooted, teaching writing
schools?
Perhaps he was not trying to
escape; maybe he had found a
freedom in recognizing and
releasing the beauty of people
through handwriting, a beauty
that could have remained dor-
mant forever.
A kind word could release in
someone a warmth that has

July 8, 1775: Congress petitions King George.
Representatives of New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay,
Rhode Island and Providence, Connecticut, New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia,
North Carolina and South Carolina made a final attempt
in the Second Continental Congress to avoid a complete
break with England by signing a petition from the Con-

failed and exactly one year later, July 8, 1776, the

have initiated an aerial spray-
ing program for control of dog
flies on Gulf beaches 'and
shores in the West Florida
area. Airplanes being used in
this program will be flown'
parallel to and a short dis-
tance behind the beaches.
All aircraft are properly li-
censed and operated in com-
pliance with rules and regula-'
tions of the Federal Aviation
Administration. There is no'-
danger to persons or property'-
by the spray being applied. ;
Dog flies become concen-,
trated on beaches in this area'
only when north winds bring'
them from breeding sites in
agricultural areas to the north'
and from piles of seaweeds
along bayshores. The flies are
known to fly at least 70 miles.


They leave the beaches
promptly when the wind blows
from the Gulf; therefore, to be


effective the spray must be
applied quickly while the flies
on concentrated on the beach-


es.
This is a safe program
which offers effective control'


of this important pest for the
first time in the West Florida
area.

Herald Admires Florida Bank Group


They used to be known as Ed
* Ball's banks and, for all prac-
tical purposes, they were-al-
though he didn't really own
them.
Thirty-one banks spreading
from Pensacola east to Jack-
sonville and south to Key West
constituted what once was the
largest banking combine in
Florida and Ed Ball, the Jack-
sonville industrialist-finan-
cier, ran them with a firm
hand.
Ball's competitors insisted
that none of the banks in the
Florida National group could
make a loan of more than
$5,000 without first consulting
him. With his brother-in-law,
the late Alfred I. duPont, Ball
: had successfully steered the
Florida National banks
through the stormiest finan-
cial period in U. S. history, the
depression of the 1930's.
Banks were failing all over
the place but the duPont insti-
S'tutions were still intact when
the economic tempest sub-
sided. For the Florida Nation-
al*banks, those difficult times
bred conservative lending
policies that persisted into
Florida's great boom era of
-the 1960's and 1970's.
So hard-nosed was Ed Ball

were needed to awaken that
"sleeping giant."
Ed Ball's firm grip on the
banks has been considerably
loosened in recent years, by
order of Congress and the
Federal Reserve Board, but
many of his cautious lending
practices linger on.
In today's economic cli-
mate, that reluctance to lend
money to borrowers with
questionable_ or marginal
credit credentials is paying off
nicely on the' balance sheets
and profit-loss statements of
Florida National Banks- of
Florida Inc.
While the group "charged
off" as uncollectible $1.5 mil-
lion in loans last year, the five
largest competitor holding
companies in Florida were
saying goodby to sums five,
six or seven times that
amount. Their aggressive
lending policies had stood
them well in times of growth
,and prosperity but they be-
came liabilities with the ad-
vent of the national recession
and the great construction
slump.
OQf the half-dozen largest
among Florida's 30 bank hold-
ing companies, Florida
National achieved the best
profit performance in 1974 and
again in the first quarter of
1975. Profits were lower but by
a much smaller percentage
than those of the other bank-
ing giants in the state.


The main reason for this, of
course, was that the banks Ed
Ball built did not get stuck
with a pile of bad loans.
"Furthermore," says
Chauncey W. Lever, Ball's
chosen president and chair-
man of the group, "our hold-
ing company declined to join
those, which rushed to es-
tablish a variety of nonbank-
ing businesses.
"... Today's climate makes
it obvious that Florida Nation-
al has acted with commend-
able restraint."
More objective observers of
the banking industry support
Chauncey Lever's conclu-
sions, although they still con-


tend the group needs more
"depth" in its top manage-
ment ranks.
"Without question," com-
ments analyst Larry Chaitt of
First Equity Corp., "Florida
National's expenses are under
good control and there can be
no question of its solvency qr
capital strength..
"While the race may not
always go to the swift, in
banking, victory seems to
belong to the strong.'.'
Chaitt thinks Florida
National is the only one of the
major Florida holding com-
panies that's in a position to
expand rapidly by buying up
existing banks or chartering

new ones. Presently, accord-
ing to the company's annual
report to stockholders, eight
banks are targets for acquisi-
tion and one prospective new
bank is in the works.
Some of the group's expan-
sion activities have been sty-
mied while the duPont estate,
under Ball's direction, moved
ever so slowly to sell its
controlling interest to satisfy
demands of the Federal Re-
serve.
Eventually, the duPont
shares are to be sold to a new
corporation that will be owned
mainly by Florida National
officers and employees.


In addition to the stock
owned by .the duPont estate,
which Ed Ball runs, the 85-
year-old financier personally
owns a large block of stock in
the holding company.
But Chaitt concludes what-
ever influence Ball has is
beneficial, as evidenced by the
group's performance in the
current tough times.
The investment community,
the analyst says, has long con-
sidered Florida National "the
ugly duckling" of Florida
banking, "forgetting that the
story is supposed to end with
the veiling of a swan."

City Curbs

used every day on various
City streets and is proving
to be an effective tool
against speeding drivers.
COMPLAINT
The Commission faced a
complaint Tuesday night-, over
its method of impounding dogs
found running the City streets.
City Ordinance provides that
dogs or other pets will be kept
under control by the owner at
all times or they will be picked
up by the impounding officer
and shut, up for a period of
time. The pets are subsequent-
ly destroyed if they are not
claimed.
The- complaint stemmed
from a dog being shut up
several days,. running -up a
$24.00 fine. The owner felt he
should have been notified his
* dog was in the pound.
The Commission instructed
the Clerk's Office to telephone
owners of pets which have
been picked up in the future, if
the owner is known..
ANOTHER PROBLEM
Wastewater Treatment
Plant manager, Bob Simon,
came up with still another
problem Tuesday night.
Simon said a ventilating
system at the'plant was not
installed properly and was not

asked for permission to get it
done. Simon told the Commis-
sion, "The person who did the
work in the first place said he
told the engineers their design
wouldn't work, but they insist-
ed he follow their design". An
estimate for, correcting the
problem has been set at $2,500.

OTHER BUSINESS
In other business, the Com-
mission accepted two bids and
tabled a third for further
study.
A low bid of Sarlo Power
Mowers, Inc., was accepted
for two high wheel self-propel-
led lawn mowers for use on the
City streets. The bid price was
$219.95 for each mower.
Allied Products Company of
Birmingham, Ala., was
awarded a bid of $36.75 per ton
for 40 tons of lime for the
water treating plant. The bid
also stipulated the City would
be charged $16.74 per ton for
delivery.
A third 'bid was tabled.
Panama Machinery and Sup-
ply bid $35.81 each for 36
manhole covers while other
bidders entered prices of
$93.15, $80.00 and $82.00. Street
Superintendent Dorton Had-
den will examine the cover
which PM&S offered for $35.81
before the bid. is let.
The Commission agreed to
'inform Zurn Industries they
expected to begin taking legal
action unless the firm made
the necessary repairs to get
the $250,000 incinerator oper-
ating at the Wastewater
treatment plant;


Day. "These are operated
under permits issued from
local authorities and are care-
fully supervised by fire and
police departments."
Safety tips released by the
State Fire Marshal included:
1) Tourists and visitors
should be made aware that
fireworks may be purchased
in neighboring states, but they
are illegal if used in Florida.
2) Violations of Florida fire-
works laws are punishable by
one year in jail and $1,000 fine.
3) Fireworks may be a ,
source of ignition for acciden-
tal fires which can result in
death and injury as well as
property damage. The U. S.
Consumer Products Safety
Commission reports that in
1974 there were 4,555 victims


treated in hospital emergency
rooms for firework related in-
juries.
4) Fireworks .are not toys
for children.
5) Do not allow children to
use sparklers without close
adult supervision. Sparklers,
even though considered by
many to be a "safe" firework,
that may be legally bought
and used, burn at a very high
temperature and can easily
ignite clothing.
6) Do not play around with
fireworks. See your fireworks
at a supervised public display.

When you shop in Port St.
Joe you save precious energy
and expensive gasoline.

Insurance Commissioner-
State Fire Marshal Phil Ash-

legal to sell fireworks in
Florida. "It is also illegal," he
said, "to set off firecrackers,
cherry bombs, Roman candles
and skyrockets in the state."
"It has been recognized for
many years that fireworks,
'for all their patriotic connota-
tions, present serious safety
hazards, particularly for chil-
dren. Deaths, blindings, am-
putations, severe burns, and
costly property, damage have
too often been the results of
- Fourth of July celebrations,"
Ashler said.
He urged Floridians to see
fireworks at supervised public
.displays on Independence

The Board of County Com-
missioners of Gulf County,
Florida met on June 10, 1975 in
regular session with the fol-
-lowing members present: Otis
Davis, Jr., Chairman; T. D.
(Doc). Whitfield; Evereft
'. Owens, Jr.; S, C. Player and,
Eldridge Money. Others pre-
sent were: George Y.' Core,
Clerk; Jerry Gates, Financial
-" Officer; Raymond Lawrence,
Sheriff; C. R. Laird, County
Agent; Richard Lancaster,
Civil Defense Director; C. E.
SDaniell,. Mosquito Control
Supervisor and William J.
Rish, County Attorney.
The meeting came to order
at 9:00 a.m. Attorney William
J. Rish opened the meeting
with prayer and led in the
pledge to the flag:
The minutes of the meeting
of May 27, 1975, were read,
approved and adopted.
Cubic Laird, County Agent,
requested the Board assume
S$2050 of his secretary's salary
that the state is now paying:
.and the state will assume
$2,050 of his salary that the.
county is now paying due to a
change in state payroll policy.
Comm. Player, asked if this
was a salary increase and Mr.
; Laird said it was not. Comm.
Owens then moved the Board
assume $2,050 of the County
Agent's secretary's salary in
exchange for the state assum-
ing $2,050 of the County
Agent's salary, effective July
1, 1975, and-also assume the
annual leave of 13 days and
sick leave of 11 days that the
-, secretary, Mrs. Mildred
Jones, has accumulated.
'Comm. Whitfield seconded the
motion and it passed unani-
mously.
Mr. Laird also requested the,
Board attend an exhibit fea-
turing his 25 years of work
with pine trees.
Emmette Daniell, Mosquito
Control Supervisor, presented
a letter authorizing dog fly
spraying which the Board
executed. He also presented a
checklist concerning the
Buckhorn landfill which the
Board completed.
Harland Pridgeon, Tax Col-
ledfor, asked the Board's as-
sistance in resolving the dis-
pute over property taxes of
five taxpayers who would not
accept. the tax equilization
board's decision. The Attor-
ney reported a compromise
proposal is now being worked
out.
Comm. Player reported that
several persons are interested
in seeing the Sunnyland pro-
ject completed. The Road
Superintendent reported that
some work has been done and
the rest should be completed
soon.
Comm. Player reported
grass alongside county roads
needs cutting bad. The Road
Superintendent reported that
he is cutting some grass but-
the mowers are. so old they
require a lot of maintenance.
He suggested the Board pur-
chase a spare. mower.
Comm. Money asked about
the new road given by St. Joe
Paper Co. at Howard Creek.
The Attorney agreed to check
into this matter.
Comm. Money urged the
Board to write a letter of
appreciation to the Industrial
Arts Class at Port St. Joe High
School commending their
work on the Gulf County Float.
He also requested the Board
write O'Neal McDaniel and
his staff a letter of apprecia-
tion for their work in decor-
ating the courthouses and
grounds._
Comm. Money told the
Boarl he thought it would
save the county money if the
county truck would remain in
the area they are working in
instead of driving back and
forth each night. The Board
agreed to encourage this idea.
Comm. Money reported that
Renfro Auto Parts and Ste-
vens Machinery in Port St. Joe
are not receiving any county
business and he feels they
should receive consideration.
Comm. Money asked the
Board about the status of the
flood insurance. The Attoruey
reported that he is working on
this-matter.
The Board received a letter
from Max Kilbourn requesting
the Board remain a member
of the Northwest Florida Plan-
ning and Advisory Council,
will be considered at the next
meeting of June 24 and the
Board needs to study them
thoroughly before adoption.
Comm. Money reported that
the :City of Port St. Joe is
plarifiing to go down Long

Avenue and Highway 98 with
water and sewer and will
maintain meters and collect
sewage provided the county
.will pass an ordinance re-
quiring all eligible users to
hook up to the system and
other problems are worked
out.
Comm..Owens said he would
like to see the city, county,
. Chamber of Commerce and
.Port Authority get behind the
local port and rejuvenate the
port activity in Port St. Joe.
After -discussion, Comm.
Owens moved the Boaid adopt
the 10-hour, four-day work
week as a permanent proce-'
dure for the Road Department
and Mosquito Control Depart-
ment. Comm. Whitfield
.seconded the motion. Comm.
Player stated that there might
be days in the winter when
there weren't enough daylight
hours for this procedure. The
Road Superintendent reported
that the sthte road department
had been on this system for
some time and this would not
be a problem. Comm. Money
said that his discussions with
Emmette Daniell, Mosquito
'Control Supervisor, in which
he stated to Mr. Daniell that
he was the Mosquito Control
Supervisor and knew what
was best for the public, might
have led to a misunderstand-
ing which caused Mr. Daniell
to put his men on a five-day,
eight-hour work week. Mr.
Daniell stated that he vould-
like to- apologize to the Board
for taking this action, without
permission, but he had only
done it to spray for mosquitos
in the north end of the county
on Friday nights and he felt he.
was acting in the public
interest.
Comm. Owens stated that
Mr Daniell is doing a good job,
but expenses were $9,190.81
the last full month the Mos-
quito Cdntrol was on a five-
day work week and $6,114.62 in
May the first full month under
the four-day work week, a
savings of over $3,000 to the
county, per month. Upon vote
the motion to adopt a four-day
work week passed unanimous-
ly. Chairman. Davis stated
that for benefit of the full
Board he had a conference on
June 2, with Mr. Daniell about
changing to a five-day work'
week on his own. He said he.
ordered Mr. Daniell to return
to a four-day work week be-
cause, as Chairman, he had
requested this not be consider-
ed at the special meeting 'of
May 28, and had asked that .it
wait until the next regular
meeting for consideration by
the full Board.
S After discussion with Attor-
ney William J. Rish, the Board
agreed to back him all the way
in his attempts to keep Gov.
Reubin Askew from vetoing
the one-half acre septic tank
bill.
Upon motion by Comm.
Whitfield, second by Comm.
Owens, and unanimous vote,
the Board accepted an ease-
ment for road right-of-way
from Sammy Patrick in Sec-
tion 32, Township 5 South,
Range 11 West as recorded in
O.R. Book 61, page 688.
Upon motion by Comm.
Player, second by Comm.

vote, the Board accepted cor-
rection of the Tax Roll on
Parcel No. 2683, Jake Hy-
smith, initial value, $5,000
value -0-; Parcel No. 4546, Ben
Gay, initial value $2,000, cor-
rect'value -0-.
Upon question by Wewa-
hitchka City Commissioner
Ed Bandjough about the soil-
cement paving program, the
Road Superintendent stated
that the Honeyville Cemetery
Road was being prepared for
paving and the Kemp Ceme-
tery Road and State Park
Road were next in line.
Upon notice to receive seal-
ed bids to purchase four eco-
nomy trucks for the Road
Department,, the following
bids were received:
St. Joe Motor Company (no
trade-in), $11,992.00; Cook-
Whitehead Ford (with trade-in
of three county trucks), $11,-
488.00.
After conclusion that the
three trucks to be traded in
were worth more than $504, .
Comm. Money moved the'
Board accept the bid of St. Joe
Motor Co. as-the best bid and
the Board would keep the
three trucks offered for trade-
in. Comm. Owens seconded
the motion and it passed unan-
imously.

DRUG ABUSE -






WILL THERE EVER BE





A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM?


There was an interesting interview in
the U. S. News & World Report recently
with John R. Bartels Jr., administrator of
Dirug Enforcement, Department of Jus-
tice-.
This article was condensed in the July
issue of Reader's Digest. One of the last
questions put to Bartels was, "Will the
narcotics problem ever end?"
His answer was, "There will always be
people who can be pressured by their
friends into experimenting, with whatever
is floating aroupd. Our job, as I see it, is to,
make sure that drugs are. not readily
available. I think that is the best form of
drug-abuse prevention. In addition, we
have to motivate people to stay off drugs,
especially when they're young. There's no
chemical solution to life."
There is no material solution of any
sort to the problems of life. Other genera-
tions should have found that out long
before. Money, position,, prestige and
power have brought more misery than
relief. It is an age-old lesson hard to be
understood that you cannot buy. or steal
genuine peace.
People on drugs are like so many
others in society. They are trying to
alleviate the dullness or pain of life. Like
the alcoholic, they are trying to obliviate .
all that is real and find themselves in some
dream-like world of fantasy and pleasure.
They are trying to escape what they do not
like.
Even some in religious circles have
sought to get away from the world of
reality by going into a secluded life of the
hermit or recluse. There they can medi-
tate and pray and be unmolested by the
distasteful sins of the world. But what good
are they doing? Life is measured in what

you do for others, not in what you do for
yourself. '
The mis-use of drugs is another
sinister form of escape into an imagined
utopia of peace and tranquility. The
well-known, tragedy of the whole thing,
though, is the deceit of it all. Like other
artificial avenues of escape, drugs give
finally the opposite of what they promise.
Instead of peace, there is the compounding
misery, and eventually utter despair and
chaos.
Yes, someone needs to give the proper
motivation.for the finding of real solutions
in this hectice life. There is but one sure
answer to the problem. It was given by a
simple, direct message from 2,000 years
ago. It had been taught before this by'wise
men and prophets, but none taught it more
beautifully or more complete than the man
known as Jesus.
"Peace I leave with you, my peace I
give unto you: not as the world giveth,
give I 'unto you. Let not your heart
be troubled, neither let it be afraid." John
14--27.
The simple life of morality and good-
ness.to others as practiced by Jesus is the
guiding principle that leads to a full
measure oflatisfaction:in.this lifo. Peace-;
is found not n trying to satisfy one's own
selfish desires, but in losing one's self in
the needs and problems of others. It is
amazing how the extended hand of help
and fellowship will act as a healing balm to
one's own need. It cannot be explained.
But centuries of unheralded men and
women have found it to be so.
The way of the material world is to
heap up treasures for self. But the promise
of peace is misleading. The way of Jesus is
to be willing to spend and to be spent for


others. This produces real satisfaction. His
life is the epitome of His teachings. He
gave in life and even in death. On the
cross, His message concerning His ene-
mies was, "Father, forgive them, for they
know not what they do."
Even in the midst of cruel suffering
(as.far as the flesh was concerned) there
was an inner peace that caused Him to
shout in victory, "It is finished!" He died
with peace and satisfaction with the know-
ledge that He had accomplished what He
set out to do. He was satisfied!
The world of materialism cannot pro-
duce such satisfaction. The words of Jesus
mean more than all the gold and silver in
the world. "These things have I spoken
unto you, that in me ye might have peace.
In the world ye shall have tribulation: but
be of good cheer; I have overcome the
world." John 16:33. This is the greatest
motivation we can offer to those who are
searching for the answers.
The church in the world is the best
refuge for searching souls. It is true that
the churches have, in some measure,
failed their responsibilities. Young people
in particular, have been quick to point out
these failures as good reasons for not
trusting in Christ's teaching.But remem-
ber this: the church is nimade of weak
human beings just like yourself. Yes, the
churches are not what they could be.
But with all the faults, with all the
failings, with all, the inconsistent lives
within church memberships, with all these
shortcomings, there are churches where
the simple message of Jesus is still promi-
nently presented. For every hypocrite in
Christianity you will find dozens of sincere
saints. And more than that, look beyond
the failures of the people-look to the


founder of the Church. He is no failure! His
message has not changed.
Jesus is the real answer-for the world
and the world to come.
R. L. Mitchell, Jr.

-August came in May


thisyear-


and your electric bill


will prove it.

Hot Florida weather. It came early this year. And due to this hot weather, you're
probably using more electricity than you realize.
In fact, our records show that in spite of efforts to conserve energy our cus-
tomers are actually using 12% more electricity this year than in the same period
last year. And that electricity is more expensive than it was last year.
So, try to be especially careful about your use of energy. Conserve wherever
you can. It's never been more important to you.
Here are some tips to help get your electric dollar through the hot days ahead:

Cost of keeping room temperatures
aboVb and be/ow 78'


SSet your air conditioning
thermostat at the highest
comfortable temperature. If you
can get along on a setting of 78
or 800, you'll really cut operating
costs.
When you're away from
home, set the thermostat 5 to
.10 above the normal setting
with the fan on "auto."
2 A clogged air conditioning
filter will cost you money.
Gtheck filters frequently and re-
place when dirty.


3 When you use your range,
dishwasher or laundry
appliances, you're adding heat
and moisture to your home.
This puts an extra load on your
air conditioner, particularly be-'
tween 4 pm and 8 pm when the
temperature in your home is the
highest. So cut your electric
usage between 4 pm and 8 pm
as much as possible. Your air
conditioner will operate more
efficiently.
Conserve energy by reducing appliance
usage between 4 PM and 8 PM

4 Plan ahead so you wash
and dry a full load each
time you do the laundry. You'll
save energy and water, too.
Don't overdry clothes. And be
sure to clean the lint filter after
each load.


5 Make certain
your hot wa-
ter heater ther-
mostat is not set
too high. If you
don't have a dish-
washer, the ther-
mostat can be
set at 1200. With
a dishwasher,
the thermostat
may need to be
set higher.

largest of each specie. First
and second place ribbons will
be awarded to winners and
runners-up for both boys and
girls. Look for more details in

dance at some of the sites.
-However, the Stac House is
"alive" with its activities

Parker has reported no drop
in participation. As a matter
of fact, an even larger in-
