THIRr-IGfTH YEAR. NIUMBER 47 d7 FEE STA Industry Deep Water Port Fine People Safest Beaches in Florida PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA THURSDAY, JULY 24, 1975 Civil Defense Head Objects to Says Can't Operate On Amount Suggested by Commission Civil- war nearly erupted Tuesday night between Civil Defense Director Richard Lancaster and County Com- mission chairman Otis Davis, Jr., over just how much money was necessary to oper- ate the agency in the proper manner.. Relations even de- generated to the point where Davis was wondering whether ' Civil Defense was even neces- sary for the county. . In a budget workshop last Wednesday afternoon, the Commission had reduced Lan- caster's budget request from $20,250.20 to $15,606. The Civil Defense director had asked for a $714.00 increase in face of a request by the Board to cut all operating budgets by 10 percent. - Tuesday night, Lancaster presented an amended budget to the Board and asked for its consideration, rather than the $15,606, which he said wasn't enough to keep the department operating for a year. Lancaster's new request was for $18,609.40. Lancaster said it reflected a 16 percent reduction of last year's op- erating budget and complain- ed that the Commission had reduced his budget by 60 percent in making their cuts last Wednesday. * Chairman Davis remarked he would like- to 'see 'the- Sheriff's Department assume the duties of the Civil Defense Department: That started the "discussion". Lancaster then remarked, "You don't have to have Civil Defense at all". Davis shot back, "You mean we could just abolish Civil Defense?" Lancaster retorted, "You won't be representing me as a tax payer if you abolish Civil Defense or transfer it to another department." The tone of the meeting then spilled over to Commissioners Everette Owens and Eldridge Money. Money said, "We've cut all budgets; some hard,- like Civil Defense. I'd like to see us as County Commission- ers take a cut. I'd like to see us give up our $125.00 a month travel expense. I keep up with mine diligently and don't use that much each month any- Owens hopped on Money's how.

Plans Made for 90 Acre Development The third real estate devel- opment of the year in the Port St. Joe area was announced when Panama City business- man Charles Whitehead told of plans to develop 90 acres of land on Cape San Bias. Earlier in the year, a New York developer announced the platting and planned devel- ,opment of "Christie's Beach" in the Indian Pass area. This development' has currently filed plats on the first section of their development which consists of around 400 home sites. Tuesday night, St. Joseph Bay Estates filed the first plat of a proposed 2,000 home development in the area around St. Joseph's Bay Coun- try Club. The first phase of the development is about 45 acres, and is located at the south end of the country club golf ' Commission Officially Adopts Subdivision Code Fishing Rodeo Winners This proud group of youngsters showed off their ribbons they were presented last Friday in the Annual Kid's Fishing Rodeo.

Star Photo In a special session last Wednesday afternoon, the SGulf County Commission of- ficially adopted their subdivi- sion regulations as they were amended Wednesday. The Board took the set of regulations under tentative agreement two weeks ago, but several needed changes were .pointed out in language and requirements by Robert B. Nations, owner of Florida Engineering Associates. Nations pointed out that requirements in the regula- tions called for a 100 foot radius circle at the end of each dead end street. "That's a circle measuring 200 feet- across", Nations said. "I'm sure you meant to use the: word 'circumference' instead of 'radius', but since all engin- eering descriptions refer to radius rather than circumfer- ence, it would be less confus- ing to change the measure- ment requirements to 50 feet radius". The requirements also cal- led for 80 feet "Radius" of paving at the end of the dead ends and Nations pointed out this should be 40 feet radius. In another change, the Com- mission voted to require all (Continued on Page 6) course. In a hearing in Panama City Tuesday, for environmental purposes, Whitehead an- nounced his plans to develop a $3.5 million vacation resort on Cape San Blas. Whithead revealed plans for, a development on the penin- sula that will include a marina and both single and multiple family residential units. Touching both St. Joseph's Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, the development will cover nearly 90 acres of cape land plus another 35 acres of bay that will be used in developing the marina. The site of the planned complex is about a half mile south of St. Joseph State Park. The marina will be put in St. Joseph's Bay on land deeded by the Internal Improvement Fund to George G. Tapper of Port St. Joe in 1959. , Whitehead says he plans 33 single family sites, 216 multi- family units and 900 boat slips in the marina. In addition, 230,000 square feet of com- mercial floor space will be constructed, along with 1,265 parking spaces. Whitehead said construction would begin as soon as the necessary environmental permits are obtained. ding to local police reports. Monday morning at about 10:30, I. C. Nedley and his automobile were involved in a freak accident at Skip's Gulf Service Station on Monument Avenue. 'Police reports show that Nedley parked his car in front of the Jr. Food Store and was getting out when the vehicle started to roll backward. Ned- ley attempted to stop the car, and was knocked to the ground, suffering painful bruises and scrapes. The car continued rolling backward. and struck a gasoline pump in front of Skip's-station, knock- ing it completely over. Nedley was taken to Muni- cipal Hospital for treatment of his bruises and abrasions. Tuesday at 12:10, cars driv- en by Jack Craft of White City and William Howard Lee of Apalachicola collided at the intersection of First Street and Highway 98. Police reports show that Craft was travelling south on Highway 98 and that Lee pulled out into the highway from the First Street intersec- tion, into the path of Craft's car. The impact knocked Lee's car completely around in the middle of the road. 'Officer James Graves in- vestigated both accidents. Sgt. W. J. Rabon Died Tuesday In Portsmouth Sgt. William J.

They set out to reduce their budget by 10 .percent and, in two workshop ses- sions Wednesday and Thursday Afternoons of last week, they did just ;-lhat. Not to be misleading, we must point out there were no reductions in salaries paid to the several county employees; as a matter of fact, there will probably be some in- creases in this area before the budget is finalized. Cuts in opera- tional budgets were reduced as planned and should mean a slight saving for the taxpayer for the coming year. As we wrote last wee, cutting a eiidget isn't easy. It resembles crab ri'ass in that it grows much easier than it is controlled. The County commission did their juggling job fiowever, and we feel they are coming up with a financial program Which will adequately finance the necessaryy services without causing i situation which will require a sharp increase next year to catch up in items neglected by a reduced budget in the coming year. It wasn't easy. Many of the department heads screamed, beat their breast and shed a tear or two for their departments and the neces- sity of providing more money than $250 Million The $250 million handshake and picnic in the-sky is.over now and the American and Russian astronauts are back on the earth. It was without a doubt the most expensive hand- shake and picnic in history and served a purpose which is still being dreamed up by the writers in both countries. The feat of two nations pooling their space efforts in a joint venture was an accomplishment probably as complicated as the U.S. walk on the moon, but received scant attention from the people here in the United States, who have become jaded to space feats following the several trips to the moon. With the completion of the meeting in the sky, the American space program winds down to just a dribble. It has been an exciting two 'PAGE TWO THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY, JULY 24, 1975 I EDITORIALS * *0 * the Commission -eemed necessary. The Commission members stood fast, though, and did their cutting as they said they would. This took determination and they met the test. In several areas, budgets are drawn on anticipation since the need can't be anticipated to any certain degree. In these instances the Board assured the department heads that if an emergency arises, they will do some shifting and provide money to meet any emergency. The County will have two sources to get this emergency money from the mandatory five percent contingency fund they are forced by law to levy and from the Federal Revenue Sharing Funds which are in the county's possession, designated for, other projects in the future. In an emergency, these funds can be utilized. The Board was firm in the matter of not extracting dollars _from the taxpayer and letting it lie in the bank just in case it is needed. The cut was a paring job and not drastic surgery. The county can provide practically all the services as in the past with the money being provided, with careful management. We commend them in their earnest efforts to relieve the burden of the taxpayer. Handshake decades as our great nation has displayed its expertise in conquering what has been unconquerable for the entire history of mankind. We don't think the space effort was wasted nor merely a display of our compe- tence at building highly complex machines. Space and its mastery will prove valuable to mankind in the future, we believe. Now that we have this largely behind us, our nation is starting development of a vehicle which can go into space and return. We'll not see much of the space effort until testing of this capability starts. When it is done, it, like the last space shot, will probably not engender enough interest to pre-empt the Tuesday Night at the Movies to let the people see it happening first hand. Other Editors Say: The beauty within the human voice could be the most beautiful and powerful of all personal beauty. Many won- derful people are dedicating their lives to the profession of voice' therapy, so that all-.. people some day will know the beauty and joy within voice communication. Often there are discussions on the subject of unseen voices. My only experience with such voices came through a water barrel on top of the railroad depot. The reason for the water barrel was that we did not have a fire department and if you did not have some water barreled up some- where, should a building catch afire, about all that you could do was to back up under a good shade tree and watch "her go up in smoke," while squirrel-sized rats sailed through the air from the ceil- ing rafters of the burning building, right in to a mess of yellow tom-cats on the ground. One night during a traveling ventriloquist show on the load- ing platform of the depot and using the water barrel as a prop, the ventriloquist's quo- tations from Shakespeare did not go over very well with the audience, because his voice sounded flat after apparently coming through the water barrel. Maybe the water in the barrel was not deep enough, then too, our knowledge of Shakespeare could have been a little shallow. His voice in rendering the beautiful bray- ing sounds of an imaginary mule in a barn through the barrel came in clear and strong, and we knew what he was talking about. Even the kicking sounds of the mule against the side of the barn sounded as if the mule was in the water barrel on top of the depot. Perhaps the voice of kind- ness is the most beautiful of all voices. The voice of kindness comes in clear and strong and people understand and will love you. The spontaneity of life within the wonders of kind- ness could cause one to stand tall and beautiful, against what could be the great killer lowness and ugliness of un- of all personal beauty-the kindness. .Green,, 'N... Grassy m By Mike Beaudoin One remedy suggested for bolstering America's economy and at the same time prolonging the lives of people is to adopt the siesta. For you non-Spanish speaking people, the siesta is a prolonged nap taken in the middle of the day in many Spanish countries. It is so popular that all stores and businesses close for the three hour period to allow all employees nap time. Siesta hours vary, but .usually they are from noon to 3 p.m. or 1 to 4 p.m. Naturally the stores and offices which close for three hours stay open late in the evening to make up for lost time. Today's Americans sel- dom even take a one-hour break at lunch time. Mostly they grab a quick sandwich and spend 45 minutes shopping. This is an in- vitation to any early heart attack. NO SUBSTITUTE People have forgotten what it's like to take a mid- day nap. It is a lost art. Some try to make up for it by taking a nap when they get home in the afternoon but this isn't as good. In the first place, you've got the kids to contend with and secondly it ruins your nightly sleep. But a mid-day nap rests you from your morning labors and refreshes you for the late afternoon chores. The Green and Grassy Research Foundation last week interviewed local businessmen and State Officials to get their reaction concerning the siesta plan. Their reactions can be divided into two classes: "No," and "- -no." One said: "We let them off for an hour at lunch now and they take two. If we let them off for three hours, we'd never get them back." Another said: "Most of mine already have their siestas in the office." UNION PROBLEMS One interjected a different note: "Our people belong to labor unions. If we split the day up with a siesta they'd want overtime for the 'af- ternoon hours." A. traffic policeman begged: "Please, no. If we had to go through that 5 o'clock rush hour twice a day we couldn't survive." One man (the married type) shouted, "What? Go home in the afternoon, and we men would be put to work right away doing all those things that need doing around, the house that we always manage not to do on weekends." Another employer rejected the suggestion with this comment: "Siesta? You're way behind the times. We have two or three siestas a day here. They've just changed the name from siesta to coffee break." THESE ARE THE LAST -BAIRS City Service Employees Benefit Without Union Smokey Says: Some 600 City of Tallahas- see service employees, pon- dering whether to vote Thurs- day for bargaining represen- tation by one of two rival unions, or none, are entitled to inquire "what's in it for me?" So, they will be told by labor organizers wooing their affi- liation and vote: We can bargain with the City to get you sick leave, annual leave, uniforms, pay- ment of sick benefits upon re- tirement, payment of vacation time upon separation or re- tirement, revision of the pen- sion plan for survivor's, bene- fits, training classes to up- grade you on your jobs, educa- tional benefits, cost of living wage raises, enforcement of wage and hour rules which are not required by law, contin- uing sick and annual leave time with workmen's compen- sation so you are not required to lose pay but can continue to draw your full salary, paid time off for jury duty, paid time off for a death in the family, eight paid holidays a year. Sounds good, but look: All those things are given now by the City of Tallahassee with- out bargaining by a union. Every one of them-plus the chance to advance in pay and grade according to individual diligence and initiative. Em- ployees concerned can check back and find their cost of living pay raises have been given without bargaining and threats of strike for each of the past five years. So what else will they get by voting to have a union do all the bargaining for them with the City for wages and fringe benefits? Well, they'll get the privi- lege of paying dues of several dollars a month (deducted from their paychecks) to sup- port professional union organ- izers and negotiators here and elsewhere and to help support union garbage men and others on strike in such places as New York City. Another thing: If their union leaders are aggressive at all, members will get involved eventually in decisions of how far they should go in following union orders to strike or set up picket lines in defiance' of Florida's constitution. and laws which provide they can lose their jobs and be fined if they do. Considering what they have without unionization, and what they will be letting themselves in for by affilia- tion, the choice should seem pretty clear-a vote for "no" union." -Tallahassee Democrat Safety is a family affair.

While I hesitate to do so, in the off chance He might forget to turn it on again when we need it, I would ask God to let us have a little respite from the daily showers we have experienced for the past three weeks. Not only is the rain making the grass grow faster than we can cut it, it is also keeping the river above the good fishing stage and I have the fever to go. I have been on pins and needles, now, for the past month waiting on the river to get down to eight feet so I could take a trip up there and catch a mess of bream and catfish. Too much rain, too much water and too much mud in the water is keeping me at home. If we can manage to have the rain stopped for not more than two weeks, I'm all for it. It's ironic that Panama City is trying like the mischief to get their harbor deepened while we are sitting here with a harbor already deep enough with very little traffic to put in it. If Panama City has the traffic committed they claim for their harbor facilities we should have our backside kicked for sitting here on that self-same backside and letting this business slip away from us. It's a sure thing the handling facilities aren't going to build themselves, nor is anybody going to come in and build them for us. It seems to me that if we put half_ the attention to Gulf County as we did in our seeming determination to do our business in Bay County, Gulf County and Port St. Joe would be at least half again as big as it is now and have a few jobs available for times like these when jobs are in short supply. I don't expect anything to come from this little blurb except maybe some agreement and little to no action. The new St. Joseph Telephone Company building is rapidly taking shape and will be one of the most beautiful buildings in Port St. Joe. ...Whatever size or direction Port St. Joe happens .,,4o-take intheifuture,jthetbuilding:will %be an asset "'to the town. We're glad to see it; Such a construction tells us the firm has faith in the future and since their big man is prone to be correct about these things, we can expect nothing but good from the future. We have another barometer for the future shown in the statement of condition published by Citizens' Federal last week. During a time when the housing market is in a drastic slump over the -nation, Citizens' Federal showed over a quarter million increase during the past six months. Their assets don't increase unless people are saving and building homes. While the Associa- tion serves a three county area, most of that growth must be right here in Port St. Joe. A drive about town will show anybody that there's hardly a two block area in which there isn't some home construction or home enlarging activity. People eat the strangest things. In Africa, they dine royally off raw elephant liver and in the Philippines they force feed rice into a dog, kill the dog and roast him then cut him open and eat the rice. There's no end to what people will eat throughout this world. Even right here in the United States, we go the full spectrum from possum to chittlins. I noticed in the "Staff Stuff" sentences in the Tallahassee Democrat where someone who signed himself, "MJ" was all elated over the "Daily rains have brought some huge puffballs out of the ground for delectable eating". I remember the late B. B. Conklin use to stroll about a grassy area and stoop occasionally and pluck what looked like a toadstool, pop it into his mouth and drool over the unusual taste. No doubt B. B. knew just what to look for since his demise wasn't brought about by toad stool poisoning. To go about looking for puff balls to eat like "MJ" evidently does seems to be stretching the gourmet bit a little far. It seems to me that a lip full of "Old Railroad" snuff would serve the same purpose as a puffball or two. I'm game to try anything good to eat, but I'm drawing the line at the puffballs and "Old Railroad". THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY, JULY 24, 1975 PAGE THREE .o MlArIu. -In R.o.n, eoAnnounces A Money Married In Royston, Georgia Engagement The sanctuary of the Roys- ton United Methodist Church was the setting Saturday even- ing, June 14, at eight p.m. for the impressive candlelight ceremony which united- in marriage Miss Pamela Jean Brown, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Edwin Brown of Royston, Ga. and Carl Thomas Money, son of Mr. and Mrs. Eldridge Money of Port St: Joe.

Bridesmaids were Miss Cin- dy Brown of Louisville, Ken- tucky; Miss Vicki Roberts and Miss Sandra White of La- vonia, Ga.; Misses Lisa Crowe, Susan Veal and Robin Leard of Royston. They were attired in gowns identical to the honor attendant and car- ried long-stemmed roses. Little Miss Mandy Leard of Royston was flower girl. Her long dress of yellow and orange printed cotton featured a high neckline and short puffed sleeves with dainty lace trim. She carried a bas- ket filled with yellow rose petals. , Eldridge Money, father of the groom, served as best man. Ushers were Mike Brown, brother of the bride, of Roys- ton; Glenn Collins of Newnan, Ga.; Mike Presley of Ander- son, S.C.; David Price of Blountstown, Kevin Carter of West Palm Beach and Jerry Brown of Port St. Joe. Master Scotty Gosnell of Port St. Joe was the ring- bearer. For her daughter's wedding, Mrs. Brown chose a gown of aqua chiffon over satin. Her corsage was an off-white or- chid. The bridegroom's mother was attired in a gown of apricot quiana with chiffon sleeves. She wore an off-white orchid corsage. RECEPTION Immediately following the ceremony, the bride's parents entertained at a reception in the church fellowship hall. Guests were greeted by Mrs. Allen Green and Mrs. Wayne Leard.

Money then made a motion that the Board members re- linquish their expense money and that Lancaster's" new version of the Civil Defense budget be adopted tentatively. His motion died for lack of a second. In other budget matters, the Board tentatively accepted an operating budget of $16,419 from the Port St. Joe ambu- lance squad and $6,750 from the Wewahitchka squad. The Port St. Joe budget was considerably higher since it reflected expense of a third ambulance, utilities'and sup- plies for a proposed ambu- lance headquarters to be built in Port St. Joe and for several training aids which would be used by both squads.

ROemember Many years ago Froude said: "Of all the evil spirits abroad at this hour in the world, insincerity is 'the most dangerous..." We see so many people who are not sincere. They fill posi- tions from governmental spheres down to person-to-per- son levels. Someone has said that if you are too sincere you are regarded as weak, and you can be exploited'and maneu- vered by the hardcore indivi- duals in the world. We don't agree with this thinking. It is still a good feeling to' meet people who are sincerely good and honest. It is through the "holding-on" of the sincere people in this world that the destiny of man can and will be reshaped. It is through the efforts of sincere people that we can say-"God has truly blessed our land." - OUR THOUGHT TO RE- MEMBER: "THROUGH YOUR OWN SINCERITY- YOU CAN CONTROL YOUR INFLUENCE."

But Pitts and Lee, who are black, were convicted in a March 1972 retrial after Adams re- fused on the grounds of self- incrimination to answer ques- tions about his 1966 confes- sions. Pitts and Lee have been confined 12 years for the slaying. The pair spent nine years on death row before the U.S. Supreme Court banned capital punishment as it then applied. Askew has been reviewing the Pitts-Lee case for at least nine months. He could ask the Cabinet as Pardon Board to pardon them if he decides to move for their release. 2 National Cash Registers.

This insect attacks ail species of pines in Florida, killing more timber than any other single pest. They attack trees weakened by natural or man-made causes such as over-mature or crowded stands, lightning, fire drought, flooding, wind, logging or con- struction. These black or dark reddish- brown beetles vary in size from 3-16 to /4 inch in length. The adults not fully mature are found under the bark and are usually yellowish to light brown. The eggs are very small and white in color. More to be feared than the Ips beetle is the Southern pine beetle, considered the most destructive forest insect in the South. However, the host trees it prefers are loblolly and shortleaf pines, and few out- breaks have been recorded in Florida. The adult Southern pine beetle is approximately %/ inch long, and dark brown. One species of Ips has a scoop- ed out rear end, surrounded by spines. The first indication of beetle IN THE CIRCUIT COORT OF THE FOURTEENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT IN AND FOR GULF COUNTY, FLA. IN PROBATE.

Please mark your bid envelope "SEALED BID-PEST CONTROL". J. David Bidwell, Superintendent At 7-10 IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE FOURTEENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT OF FLORIDA, IN AND FOR GULF COUNTY. USLIFE CREDIT CORPORATION attack, aside from the tree needles turning yellow or brown, is the presence of small masses of pitch on the bark. (If it's unusually dry weather, only reddish-brown boring dust may be present.) Examination of infested trees by removal of the bark will show the beetle's "auto- graph." For the Southern pine beetle, the autograph will be a distinctive "S" shaped gallery pattern. The pattern is very distinc- tive from the "Y" or "H" shaped gallery of Ips beetles Sand is a good identification characteristic if no adult beetles are present. An attack by either type of forest pest may kill only one or a few trees in any area; how- ever, if conditions are satis- factory and no control is forth- coming, they may destroy many hundreds of valuable trees. If the tree under attack is obviously dying and adult beetles have not emerged, it might be well to cut and spray or burn the tree to help prevent further spread of the infestation. This is especially true if the presence of South- ern pine beetles is detected. Gators Are Getting Brave Checks Weather Forest Ranger Claude C.

Children Flying Missiles Small children often become flying missiles during an auto- mobile crash if they are un- restrained said the Florida Highway Patrol this week. "When they are standing in the front seat, there is only one place for them to go and that is into or through the front wind- shield when involved in a frontal collision," said Colonel Eldrige Beach, Patrol direc- tor. "Safety experts have agreed for years that any occupant of a motor vehicle who is wearing a restraint device during a collision is by far safer and less apt to re- ceive severe injuries or be killed than the occupant who is unrestrained," said the Direc- tor. Patrol records indicate that of Florida's 1974 crashes, 123,266 were wearing seat belts and- of those, 138 were killed while 383,965 crashes where seat belts were not in use, 1,327 were killed. This in- dicates that with an increase of about three times as many crashes, there were almost 10 times as many people killed restraint system installed in who were not wearing, seat the vehicle, the child should be belts. in the rear seat in a sitting "Small children should be position, not standing where properly restrained when rid- they will fly forward during a ing in a car and if there is no frontal crash. Also, never let a small child sit in the driver's lap as' even a minor crash could crush the child between the steering wheel and the driver," concluded Colonel Beach. Short Course On Roses The "Most Outstanding Con- sulting Rosarian for 1975", Dr. Hal Bennett, of Graceville, will be presenting a short course at Gulf Coast Com- munity College entitled "How to Grow Roses" beginning July 29 at 6:30 p.m. In addition to teaching such courses in several colleges in Alabama, Dr. Bennett is a fre- quent exhibitor and judge in rose shows and maintains 275 rose bushes at his home in Graceville, which draw many visitors during the blooming season from late April to November. The course to be held at Gulf Coast will meet each Tuesday evening from 6:30 until 8:30 CDT in Room 111 of the Science Building. Fee for the course is $10.00 which covers the five nights of instruction. The book for the course costs approximately $2.00. Topics to be included during the course are preparing the soil, choosing good bushes, proper planting, fertilizing, spraying for fungus and living pests, pruning and exhibiting. Persons interested in the course should call the Office of Continuing Education at 769- 1551, extension 265 for infor- mation and registration. One of the'1973 attacks was fatal. The Commission records in- dicate that only during recent years has there been an in- crease of unprovoked attacks. In almost every instance, the alligators involved in attacks are individuals that have ap- parently lost their natural fear of man. "A large alligator is quite capable of injuring a person, but unless cornered or pro- voked, it will usually retreat," Frye said. "The exception is an alligator which has lot its fear of man through constant exposure to humans. Feeding alligators is probably the most common cause of this pro- blem." The Commission makes - sincere effort to capture and relocate large nuisance alli- gators; however, such capture is not always easy as large alligators learn to escape the normal capture techni- ques. According to Frye, the alli- gator has made a strong re- covery and approaches maxi- mum density in certain areas. The alligator is classed as a threatened species of wildlife and is protected by both state and federal laws. Citizens are reminded that it is a violation to kill or molest an alligator or possess live alligators. Comforter Funeral Home The veteran in meeting your needs in trying times.

Frye, director of the Game and Fresh Water. Fish Commission, doubts that the Florida alligator has read the book or viewed the film that focuses attention on the activities of a man-eating shark but he does report an increase in the number of alligator attacks over pre- vious years. Frye stated that the Com- mission has recorded a total of five alligator attacks during 1975. The highest number on record prior to this year was four each during 1972 and 1973.

FLORIDA WILDLIFE COMMENTS ON THE OUTDOORS 6. 1 l By Dr. 0. E. Frye. Jr. Director ( GAME AND FRESH WATER FISH COMMISSION S"I don't agree with every- thing you guys from the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commis- sion do all the time,"said the young hunter as he paused to pass the time of day with me recently, "but I sure would hate to think of Florida wild- life without you doing the job you've been doing for tle past 30 years." Of course that hunter, while complimenting the Commis- sion on their work, had no conception of how true a statement he made. He probab- ly never heard of the fish and game wardens of 1905 who faced a mish-mash of local rules and regulations for two dollars per day. He didn't live underthe first Game Com- mission, a two-year experi- ment begun in 1913, which disbanded and let fish and game regulations revert to lo- cad counties, which led to. more than 160 local hunting and fishing regulations hitting the books with the following ten years. For the next 30 years, the legislature passed and repealed state and local game and fish laws with a regularity which confused and confounded not only the sportsmen. but the county level conservation of- ficers who had the task of en- forcing them. My questioner wouldn't re- member the late 1930's when hunters and fishermen them- selves finally raised a hue and cry concerning 39 different deer hunting dates, and eight general laws and 60 local laws supposedly policing game and fish in Florida. But in 1941. perhaps a few years before his time, the Flo- -rida legislature proposed a con- stitutional amendment which in 1943, led to the adoption of Article IV, Section 30 of the State Constitution, vesting in the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission, all non-judicial powers over wild animal life and fresh water aquatic life in the-state, which was the bare bones beginning ..f .the wildlife bounly .aval- abie' Mo Florida 41ortsriltei to-, day. Twice reaffirmed by the voters, as outside interests attempted to take this power away from the sportsmen, to- day's outsdoorsman can look at the largest Whitetail Deer herd in history, an ever-grow- ing Turkey population and harvest, five million acres un- der the Wildlife Management program, and a fishery second to none, thanks to sound management program and re- search. I welcome the man who doesn't agree with everything the Commission does, because he is the man to whom we re- spond. He's the man who wants to know why, and lie's the man who, while question- ing the motives for what we do, in the long run discovers our motives are the same as his, greater and richer outdoor experience for the citizens of Florida. I'm proud of the accom- plishments of the Commis- sion over the .past 30 years, and feel free to admit that without sound organization and solid public support. these accomplishments would have been greatly reduced. I'll go along with. his idea of not agreeing with our every move, but 1 too would hate to think of Florida wildlife without the job that's been done. Disability Benefits Available Social Security can make about $101 million available for vocational rehabilitation services for people getting monthly disability benefits in fiscal 1976, according to David P. Robinson, Social Security Field Representative for Gulf County. "That's about $18 million more than was available in ,fiscal 1975," Robinson said. "It means more disabled peo- ple can get rehabilitation training to help them return to jobs." Social security pays month- ly benefits to eligible workers and their families when the worker is severely disabled and not expected to work for a year or more. In selected cases, social security helps pay for vocational rehabilita- tion services provided by state and local agencies. In fiscal 1974, over 60,000 people in the U. S. got voca- tional rehabilitation services that social security helped pay for. Over 13,000 were success- fully rehabilitated. The Social Security Admin- istration is an agency of the U. S. Department of Health, Edu- cation and Welfare The Pan- ama City social security office is located at 1316 Harrison Avenue. The phone number is 769-4871. THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY, JULY 24, 1975 PAGE NINE Alcoholics Responsible for Production Slowdowns Treating the alcoholic has taken on a new look, according to Roger D. Mahoney, director of occupational personnel ad- visory with the Panhandle Alcoholic Council. ' In speaking to the Rotary Club last Thursday,, Mahoney said 97 percent of all alcohol- ics have jobs and "when they are drinking their job per- formance suffers, costing the employer money and produc- tion", Mahoney said. "The alcoholic must have his job to earn money to buy booze", the speaker said, "and he's very susceptible to any suggestions from his office suggesting his income may be cut off. Mahoney said 40, to 50 per- cent of an employees' prob- lems directly or indirectly are related to alcohol or drugs.
