"How's the weather there in Port St. Joe?"
"It's raining."
A lot of people have speculated about how Noah felt
when commanded by the Lord to build an ark out in the
desert in an area where it had never rained. The people
along the Gulf Coast began to realize this week how the
people felt who were shut out of Noah's ark when the doors
were closed. Water backing up in storm sewer pushes. m

St. Joe Paper Company; 8.4 inches of rain has fallen here
on the low Gulf coastal plain since Sunday. It was easy to
see the bulk of that rain-six inches-fell on Tuesday. The
rain was.still coming down Wednesday in considerable
amounts after Simmons checked his Tuesday accumula-
tion of precipitation at 7:00 A.M. Wednesday morning.
-All of that rain,-.along. with--higl+i-ide Wednesday
morning, caused considerable flooding around the city.
Long Avenue was tinder water in spots, as was Monument
Avenue. Parts of the business district was flooded out,
with underground storm sewers filled to capacity, heavy
water concentration on the surface and high tides.
One of the biggest trouble spots, as far as flooding was
concerned, was on Highway 98.between the Apalachicola
.Northern Railroad tracks and the overpass. This stretch .
of road was flooded with traffic proceeding either very
cautiously or under tow. .
Reports were also. received of considerable damage
from winds on Constitution Drive which runs right next to
the bay. Trees were blown down and considerable debris
was blown and washed up into yards along the street.:

FSU Circus, Navy Band, Being Brought Here


Two quality events of enter-
tainment are being arranged
for the people of Port. St. Joe
by the civic organizations of
the community. Both pro-
grams have been tentatively
confirmed and dates set.
The Rotary, Kiwanis and
Lions clubs are banding their
efforts together to bring the
famous Florida State Univer-


sity Flying High Circus for
two performances in the foot-
ball stadium in November.
The tentative, date has been
set at Saturday, November 15
On March 1, the Kiwanis
Club has arranged for the
official United States Navy
Band to play a concert here in
Port St. Joe.

Fire Destroys Beach Home


Fire of undetermined origin
completely 'destroyed the
home of Mrs. T. G. Alsobrook
at St. Joe Beach early Wed-
nesday morning.
Gulf County Sheriff's office


log shows the alarm was
phoned in at 5:55 Wednesday
morning.
Fire departments from Port
St. Joe and Highland View
answered the alarm,


If indications from teacher
and school leaders are near
correct, Gulf County teachers
and school officials will reach
a working agreement under
the new collective bargaining
program of the Public Em-
ployees union before school
starts next month.
The Star talked to Winston
Wells, president of the Gulf
County Classroom Teachers
Association and David Bid-
well, Superintendent of Gulf
County Schools concerning
progress being made by the
negotiators.
TALKS AMICABLE
*Both.educators and repre-
sentatives of educators said
the talks have been amicable
for the most part, with finan-
cial arrangements the only
major decision still to be
made.
Bothwells and Bidwell said
they fully expected complete
agreement before teachers
report for duty the middle of
'August to begin pre-school
planning.
Wells said Gulf County
hasn't had the problems
neighboringcounties have had
in reaching agreement. "Our
sessions have been reasonably
cooperative", Wells said and
we have managed to take care
of all matters except salary,
payroll deductions, insurance
and supplemental pay since
our negotiating sessions were
started on June 2.
Negotiations on money mat-
ters should begin in the next
few-days. "We couldn't reach
-agreement on this item be-
cause neither side knew just
how much or how little money
would be available", Wells
said. "We won't .even start
work in this area until the
Property Appraiser, Sammy
Patrick, gives us a figure".
Neither Bidwell nor Wells
said, but the impression they
left was that agreement on
money matters was expected
to take less than a day once
the proposed income was
made known. Both agreed'
there were no major points of
contention at this time.
AGREE ON POINTS
Wells said agreement had
been reached on:
Recognition of the Gulf
County Classroom Teachers
Association as the bargaining
agent. He said the organiza-
tion has 104 of 145 teachers as
members and has signed per-
mission from 125 teachers to
act as their bargaining agents.
Adopted a list of teacher
rights, set up negotiating pro-
cedures, set up a grievance
procedure, set out teaching
conditions, class load and


specialized instruction, pro-
vided teacher authority pro-
tection,. set up general em-
ployment practices. and set up
a process of transfers and
re-assignments.


Gulf County, and most, especially the
coastal portion of the county has the light,
balmy summer breezes, the sunny skies, the
crystal clear waters and the white sandy
beaches similar to those of Hawaii. One can
even find the pretty girls which Hawaii is so
famous for. There you might think the
similarity ends, but it doesn't.
Gulf County can also grow pineapples and
here is a picture to verify that claim.
Donna and Eddie Bobbins of Beacon
Hill, show off a pineapple forming in a plant
being grown in the front yard of their parents'
home. The plant was grown from the top of a
fresh pineapple, planted, nourished and


In other areas, the bargain-
ing committees have agreed
on vacations and promotion
procedures, reduction in per-
sonnel, paid leaves and unpaid
leaves.


MONEY QUESTION

the School Board still didn't
know how much it was going
to be able to put into salaries.

petted-by the Bobbins for several years. Mrs.
Bobbins said the plant is seven years old, and
according to horticulturists is supposed to
begin bearing fruit now. The plant is right on
time, putting out its first fruit right in the
center of the top of the plant. Mrs. Bobbins
said she didn't know how long it would take
the fruit to ripen, but it will also receive
loving care until it does.
The plant has been dug up and brought
indoors when a freeze threatened and has also
been moved from one location to another
when the Bobbins moved. The most recent
move was from Howard's Creek to Beacon
Hill. Star photo


Bidwell Says County Must


Increase Responsibilities


A William R. Tapper Memorial Scholarship
Fund was established here this week for' two
students each year to attend Gulf Coast Community
College. The scholarship was established by George
G. Tapper to provide financing for two students
each year to attend the college with all matricula-
tion expenses paid. The scholarship is for children
of members of Longshoremen's Association Union,
Locals 1713 and 1564.


The incorporation papers for the fund provide
that the scholars will be selected each year by a
committee of instructors at the Port St. Joe High
School and from the union.
The scholarship will be funded by interest
earned by $10,006 worth of Georgia Power Company
preferred stock, which will make the fund self
perpetuating each year. The stock was given, in
trust, to the scholarship committee, administered.

Superintendent of Schools
David Bidwell told the Port St.
Joe Kiwanis Club Tuesday
that Gulf County taxpayers
will be required by the' State of
Florida to assume more of the
financial responsibility for op-
erating county schools during
the coming year. Bidwell said
Gulf County was required to
provide $567,709 in, the past
year and will be called upon to
provide $632,414 in the 1975-76
school year.
Bidwell said the state will
reduce its contribution by
$3,405, providing $1,941,401 for
the coming year. "The total
money required by the state
for the county system will be
slightly higher", Bidwell said,
stating "The total operating
fund has been set at $2,573,415
for the coming school year, as
opposed to $2,512,675 for the
past school year".
Bidwell said the school sys-
tem is showing a reduction in
pupils. He said the school
system expects 2,617 pupils
when school opens in August.
"Last year, we had a census of
2,680 and in 1970-.71, we had
2,807 pupils" the Superinten-
dent said.
Bidwell said the only pupil


growth projected in the county
is in the Wewahitchka schools,
and this is 'a very slim
increase. Wewahitchka Ele-
mentary expects an increase
of two pupils to 483 and
Wewahitchka High School is
projecting an increase of four
students, to a total of 385.
In the Port St. Joe area, the
school personnel expect re-
ductions in all schools. Port St.
Joe High School is expected to
lose 14 students, down to a


total of 823. Highland View
Elementary is expecting an
enrollment of 160, a loss of 10
students from last year. Port
St. Joe Elementary School is
expecting the largest loss~of
all the schools. They .are
projecting an enrollment of
720, for a decrease of 18.: :.
"We can't figure out what's
causing the loss", Bidwell
said, "But the downward
trend has been there for the
past four years."

Happy



S:;.- We were beginning to wonder
if Gulf County was going to get
involved in any -way with the
S Bicentennial celebration. It didn't
seem right to us that Gulf County
should let the Bicentennial pass by
un-noticed; while Port St. Joe was
begun just 60 ,years after the
American Revolution and where
Soneof the most important of the
United States was founded.
' With the appointment of George
Y. Core to the Supreme Court's
Bicentennial Committee, we can
now be assured Gulf county will in
some way observe the birthday of


In Recent years, the. small-
est whiff of American scandal
has elicited tremendous de-
nticiation by the country's
liberal intellectuals. The agon-
izing years of Vietnam and
Watergate, alleged excesses
by the CIA, and our current
economic problems all have
given them a field day.
Today, however, the major
scandals facing the world
cone not from the United
States and its allies, but rather
from leftist forces who have
seized power or are in the
piFo&ess of doing so in various
countries. An entire Cambo-
dian population was herded,
like cattle, into a desolate
sedBtryside, where many
thousands perished. A leftist
junta in Portugal wiped out
civil liberties wholesale. Citi-


Possibly some of these planned
developments will'never get off the
ground. The two we mention here
have the potential and the backing to
amount to sizeable developments
and need the restraints of regula-
tions to see that they are developed
properly.
Back when the planning first
began some even some Commis-
sioners asked the question, "Why
does a small county such as Gulf
need building restraints?" If a
subvision such as is planned near the
country club meets any success at
all, there will be another community
in the county the size of Port St. Joe.
Such a development needs some
restraints and guidelih.ne'
Another person asked, the, other
day, "Where are all those people
going to work?"
So, you see, there is a need for
some guidelines. Problems brought
about by substantial building hasn't
been felt in Gulf County as yet and
we approach the problems in a naive
manner. Luckily, we aren't com-
pletely unprepared or we could wind
up with more problems than we
could ever solve.

shut everything dow n for a week or
two just to mediate on the fact
America is now 260 years old, but
neither should we here in Gulf
County let the event slip by with
barely a second glince.
There are those 'who shake their
head and say the old nation is dying.
We say it is barely-beginning. It has
treated us well in the past and
deserves a pause now, to mark its
anniversary in a proper manner.
We're glad to see Gulf County will
not be left out of the opportunity to
wish America a "Happy Birthday".


zens of India, formerly the
world's largest democracy,
lost their freedoms practically
overnight under the goading of
Indira Gandhi by the Soviet
Union.
The response to these ex-
cesses by America's liberals
can best be described as a
deafening silence. Where are
our liberal intellectuals-
those self-proclaimed purve-
yors of the public conscience-
now, when we really need
them? Where are the news-
paper pundits and network
Commentators, and where are
the full-page ads signed by all
those professors?
Jeffrey Hart, who writes a
syndicated column for King
Features, recently noted the
absence of liberal protest over
the situation in Portugal and


asked what'would have hap-
pened if the suppression had
been perpetrated instead by a
right-wing military regime.
"There would be editorials,
conferences and demands for
boycott," answers Hart. "The
halls of Congress and the
United Nations would resound
with speeches. Amnesty Inter-
national would issue indignant
statements. Movies on the
order of 'Z' would be pro-
duced. Heartrending accounts
of torture would appear every-
where."

Regarding the barbarity of
the Khmer Rouge communist
regime, in Cambodia, Hart
adds: "Once again, where is
the fabled 'international con-
science?' Where have all the
ad hoc committees gone?.. .


Over A Million Boats


Registered In Florida


Boats are becoming nearly
as common as automobiles in
Florida, Gene Griffin of the
Florida Marine Patrol told the
Rotary Club last Thursday.
"Over one million boats are
registered in the state and this
is causing a need for even
more careful use of the plea-
sure craft", Griffin said. He'
pointed out that all boats in
Florida, operated by machin-
ery, must be registered and
display the proper markings.
"The number of boats now
operating in Florida waters
also calls for common-sense
,precautions", the Marine Pa-
trol officer said. "Boaters who
transport their craft on trail-
ers should always check little
things such as the tires on the
trailer, tie down straps, see.


that the motor is tight, etc."
he said. "Most boats represent
a considerable investment'and
should be secure when they
are being transported to pre-
vent damage."
The officer said all boats are
required to have an approved
life preserver for every pas-
senger on board, an anchor
and line on boats up to 16 feet
and a throwable life preserver
on boats over 16 feet.
The officer pointed out that
83 percent of the persons who
fall from moving boats drown.
"It takes only a teaspoon of
water to drown you", he said.
The officer pointed out that by
the time a moving boat can
turn around and come back
for someone who has fallen out
he can drown.


Water skiing is another
enjoyable sport which needs
extreme caution the officer
pointed out. "It takes three to
ski safely-a boat driver, an
observer and the skiier."
The officer stressed the fact
that all boats should be equip-
ped with adequate life-saving
and safety devices for the
protection of those on board.
Some of the devices he
deemed necessary are fire
extinguisher, flares, proper
life preservers, first-aid kit,
tools anrd plenty of common
sense.
Guests of the club were
Charles Pekor of Columbus,
Ga., Dr. Richard Morley and
Dr. Lawrence Tyree of Pan-
ama City.


Cow-HornedrA


Return to


Simple Happiness

by CHARLIE WEIBB


The first places that sold
gasoline to motorists in our
area had no other services
except two grades of motor
oil-light and heavy.
A few years later a radius-
rod service was offered to
automobile owners. Most all
roads were sandy and the deep
sand ruts kept a constant
pressure and wear on the
radius rod. The rod would
often drop down and allow the
front wheels to flop aroulid
and render the car unsafe.
A filling-station operator
that could take a pair of old,
slick, stub-nosed, finger-
pinching pliers and with a
handful of rusty hay wire and
do a fair job on wiring up the
radius rod had a good busi-
ness.
Later, another service offer-
ed was the repair of damages
to a cow-horned radiator,
caused by a collision with a set
of long, sharp horns on a live
cow.
The cow-horning accident
occurred on a dark night when
a fellow was returning in a
some what groggy condition
from a shindig dance.
On curving around from
behind the hog pen in the dim


magneto lights of the car, he
failed to see his old milk cow
laying down in the bend of the
narrow lane leading up to his
home.
In recent years no other
business offered its customers
more courteous and intelligent
services than filling-station
operators in the. technical
complexes of their services to
modern, cars, including the
filling stations costly, but free,
services to motorists.
Today for many reasons


-


some filling stations are re-
verting to just selling gasoline
and oil to motorists. One
reason could be a simpler and
cheaper economy desired by
some motorists. It seems that
most all endings, end in the
simplicity of their beginnings.
Perhaps in the fantasy of the
mind the dreams of the beauty
and happiness that never
came true today could just be
the ending leading to the sim-
plicity of the beauty and
happiness of tomorrow.


Defensive Driving


More Than Slogan


"Defensive driving" is more
than just a safety slogan, it is
the positive action based upon
the driver's respect for his
own life and the lives of those
riding with him said the
Florida Highway Patrol this
week.
"In other words," said Colo-
nel Eldrige Beach, Patrol
director, "the defensive
driver is prepared at all times,
in the city and in the county, to
avoid injury and death result-
ing from the action of another
motorist."
"The defensive driver pro-
tects himself and his passen-
gers by thinking not only of
himself but of the other fellow,
too. It means more than mere
compliance with the law; it
means watching for those who
don't comply. In brief, drive
for the other fellow as well as
for yourself."
"Even good drivers are
guilty once in a while of an
error in judgement or a
thoughtless act," Beach ex-
plained. "For instance, how
many drivers can honestly say
they have never inadvertently
run a stop sign or made a turn
from the wrong lane? The de-
fensive driver is prepared to
cope with the motorist who
fails to see the stop sign, or
starts a turn from the wrong
lane."
He concluded by pointing


out that defensive driving is
more than just good motoring
manners, it's a life-saving at-
titude that will almost guar-
antee that you and your pas-
sengers will Arrive (Alive.

The truth is that (the liberals)
seem to be capable of indigna-
tion only over outrages perpe-
trated by the right, and numb
to outrages by the left. This
bias is so pervasive that by
now it is taken for granted and
has become invisible to those
who participated in it."
We could not agree more
with Professor Hart. The dup-
licity and double standard of
these liberal influence-ped-
dlers has been convincingly
unmasked by their silence.
It's a lesson we can't afford to
forget the next time their
poisonous pens are again un-
leashed on America.-H. A.

Mommas do strange things sometimes.
I left home in 1946 and since that time I don't
remember our family all being in the same place
at the same time but once. That. one time was
when my brother, Jim, came back from South
America in 1966. Shortly after I left home, Will
went into the army, then Jim and Bob went off to
school and to the service and lastly Edward went
to college for a couple of years before getting
married and leaving home.
Since I took that first step away from home,
we've all been mostly in the vicinity, but still we
were scattered over the southeast.
Getting back to momma's doing funny
things-I think my momma decided she wanted
to see her five boys all in a huddle at one time
_.again. So, to get.her wish, she just, went into
insulin shock ',forh- her diabetic condition last
Thursday, then had herself a small heart attack
and stopped the action of her kidneys all in one
day. If anybody could do all this, at will, it would
have to be a momma.


Anyhow, the strategy worked. Friday and
Saturday, the whole family was together all at
one time for the second time in nearly 30 years.
I advised momma not to go to such lengths
again just to see us all at once. We could arrange
for such a happening without the drastic
measures. Momma gets too wrapped up in these
projects she undertakes and, as Thursday, she
nearly gets carried away.

The preoccupation with "Jaws" has fisher-
men all over the Panhandle tossing out their
lines, fishing for sharks. Every time you pick up
the paper, a fisherman or group of fishermen
have landed a huge shark. It would seem the
anglers are trying to rid the ocean of the fish
which has been put up on the throne as the king of
terror by the current movie. Marine biologists
say they are too plentiful to eradicate and not
harmful enough to be preoccupied with in our
search for fun in the sun and on the shore.
I read the other day of a man out on the West
coast who was attacked by a shark. I'll bet he
was embarrassed, too. The picture in the paper
showed him laying up in the bed with his leg all
bandaged up. He said the shark came up,
grabbed him, and spit him out.
While he was certainly lucky, you have to
consider that an old shark will eat anything.
When he spit that man out of his mouth, he must
have suffered terribly from an inferiority
complex since even a shark wouldn't eat him.

A British doctor by the name of Dr. Roger
Wyburn-Mason has come up with what he thinks
is a treatment and cure for rheumatoid arthritis.
He says his experiments indicate the disease is
caused by an amoeba-type one-cell animal.
Experiments thus far have proved effective in
treating the disease.
If Dr. Wyburn-Mason really has something
here, it will be the greatest boon to aching men
since instant grits.

Advocates of "The Hustle" claim they have
something new!
"The Hustle" is described as a shuffle of the
left foot, a shuffle of the right foot, then two steps
forward by two people of the opposite sex, facing
each other. "The Hustle" is a dance and is
described as a revolution which will bring
dancers together. It would appear to me that
"The Hustle" will catch on like wild-fire, taking
the place of the wriggles dancers perform today
while standing a respectable distance away from
his or her partner.
"The Hustle" reminds me of the virus. In
the old days it was dysentery. In the old days
"The Hustle" was the "Belly-Rub".

Speaker

Coming to

Assembly
The Rev. R. Paul Wood,
newly approved Assemblies of
God missionary to Belgium,
will be guest speaker Sunday,
August 3, at 6:15 p.m. at the
Oak Grove Assembly of God
Church, the Rev. David Fer-
nandez, pastor, has an-
nounced.
During their first term of
missionary service, Dr. Wood
and his wife, Dene, will be
working at Continental Bible
College in Brussels, Belgium.
Dr. Wood will serve as. a pro-
fessor of Bible and theology.
"Continental Bible College
was founded in 1969 expressly
for the training of Pentecostal
leadership for Eurasia,"
states Charles E. Greenlaway,
founder of CBC and field sec-
retary for Eurasia., Si~dents
come from more than 20 coun-
tries of the world to attend
Continental. I
Prior to his missionary ap-
proval, Dr. Wood pastored
churches in Florida and ser-
ved on the staff of two church-
es in Texas. Since 1968, he has
served as professor and is
currently chairman of the
Division of Philosophy, Bible
and Theology at South-East-
ern Bible College in Lakeland.
He was also chaplain for the
U. S. Army Reserves for six
years.
Dr. Wood will share his
plans for future ministry at
CBC in Brussels, Belgium, at
his special missions rally.
The public is invited to attend.


Aluminum

Unit In

Vicinity
During August, the Rey-
nolds Aluminum Mobile Recy-
cling Unit will have three
scheduled stops in Apalachi- 4
cola. '
Area residents will receive
15 cents per pound for all-
aluminum cans and other
clean household aluminum on 4
Sunday, August 3, 17 and 31
from 10 a.m. to one p.m. at the
County Dock Boat Base, Ave-
nue "E" and Waters St.
5,834 pounds of aluminum
were collected in Apalachicola
during June, for which -the,
citizens received $875:1.
Adults and children alike
have found aluminum recy-
cling to be an ideal method of
earning extra money accord-
ng to Paul Hayden, Reynolds
Regional Recycling Manhger.
"It's surprising how quickly
used household aluminum,
such as all-aluminum beve-
rage cans, is accumulated,
especially when a separate
:ontainer is kept in the kitchen
for aluminum only," explain-
ed Hayden.
The volume of recycle alum-
num is steadily increasing as
the public becomes more con-
scious of the economical, as
well as the ecological benefits,
Hayden added.


That's the thing
to remember if
you're ina fire and
the air's hard to


breathe. Get on all

deadly gases rise. It's

The 1974-75 tree planting
season established another re-
cord for the forest products
industry in Florida. According
to the Southern Forest Insti-
tute, 86,509,707 seedlings were
planted as a result of industry
efforts.
The annual SFI survey re-
vealed that of the total figure,
86,505,007 were pine seedlings,
and the remaining 4,700 were
hardwood species. Over 82-
million of the new trees were
planted on industry-owned or
leased lands. The remaining
three-million trees were don-
ated or sold by industry to
private, non-industrial land-
owners.
A significant number of the
newly planted trees, 37,103,000
to be exact, were what's re-
ferred to as "Supertrees."
These, are genetically im-
proved seedlings that grow up
to 20-per cent faster, taller,
straighter, and healthier than
ordinary trees.


Benton H. Box, Executive
Vice President of the Southern
Forest Institute, says, "The
over 86-million trees planted
in Florida represent over 13-
per cent of all new trees
planted as a result of industry
efforts in the 13 Southern
states. Across the South, the
forest products industry help-
ed plant a record 657-million
new trees." Box added, "The
Southwide figure represents
11 trees planted for every,
man, woman and child in the
South."
Box went on, "We congratu-
late Florida's forest industry
for its efforts in seeing that a
very valuable resource is re-
newed."
Box continued, "There are
more than 204-million acres of
commercial forest lands in the
South. These lands not only
provide raw material for wood
and paper products, but also
recreation, wildlife habitat
and control of erosion.


"It is essential that indus-
try, government, and private
landowners continue to co-
operate in seeing that har-
vested trees are replaced with
new seedlings," Box added.
Since SFI began its annual
tree planting survey in 1947,
the South's forest products in-
dustry has helped plant eight-
billion seedlings. We are for-

He said the Board will meet
.with the budget committee
today to discuss this matter
: and can possibly come to -an
approximate figure before the
:day is over.
Bidwell said, "We're going
-to have to make cuts just like
everybody else. We don't anti-
cipate much 'money being
available for a salary raise.
Since our budget is already
providing 80 percent of the
,total for profession salaries,
c: uts made in the other 20
percent don't leave much for
increasing salaries". Bidwell
said, that of the approximate
$2.5 -million budget, $1.5 goes`
for salaries of teachers and
other professional personnel.
The Superintendent said
preliminary figures have been
received from the State De-
partment of Education and
Gulf County Property Ap-
praiser on money available
and the proposed tax base.
"The state has told us we're
-. going to have to provide
approximately' $42,000 more
in local funds this year and we
can expect about $3,000 less
from the state treasury". All
of Bidwell's figures were
given as "approximately"
since he was giving them in
round figures.
The local tax picture is
pretty nebulous, according to
Bidwell. "Mr. Patrick says
our valuation will be $107
million while the State office
says it will be $102 million.
This leaves quite a gap when
.you start talking about mak-
ing a budget", Bidwell said.
The Property Appraiser has
told the School Board they will
need to levy 6.54 mills to
provide the same income as
last year. The state has in-
formed the Board they must
levy at least 6.2931 mills to
participate in the state educa-
tion financing program. The
Board can legally levy up to
eight mills.
While Wells left no indica-
tion the teachers would accept
just whatever the School
Board offered in money with
no argument he did give the
impression of a willingness to
cooperate by the teachers.
t'We want to see what the
School Board's attitude to-
ward money will be", he said.
"We need to know what money
is available and what the
Board is willing to do before
we make a decision."
Attitude on the part of both
parties seems to be the magic
potion which has brought the
negotiating process-the first
in Gulf County-this far this
quick.

Sub-District tournament held
here last week, defeating Mar-
ianna 10-5 Wednesday and
Blountstown 9-1 Thursday
night.
Port St. Joe was scheduled
to play in-the Region play-offs
-this week in Chattahoochee, in'
a double elimination play-off,
but as of Wednesday, not a
game had been played in the
competition due to heavy
rains.,
The Region play-offs will be
held somehow between now
and Sunday, with Port St. Joe,
Chattahoochee, Marianna,
and Graceville teams compet-
ing to see who goes to the state
tournament in Myrtle Grove,
near Pensacola, Monday.
According to league repre-
sentative, Benny Roberts,
"Somebody's got to be in
Myrtle Grove Monday for the
state tournament."
The four teams will play
their double elimination tour-
nament on the first field which
becomes dry enough to play
on.
In last week's tournament,
Port St. Joe defeated Marian-
na Wednesday night, 10-5,
behind the three hit pitching of
Steve Hughes.- Ronald Miller
and Steve Mork stroked back-
fo-back homers in the fourth
inning to give Port St. joe its
big punch.

Winners


In BB Gun


Shoot-Out

The Gulf County Recreation
Department at the Port St. Joe
Elementary Recreation site
has announced the top shoot-
ers in the BB gun shooting
gallery.
Winners in the boys' division
were Harold Mathis and Eu-
gene Raffield. Cindy Ethe-
ridge and Donna Powell were
the winners in the girls' divi-
sion.


In the championship game
Thursday night, Port St. Joe
easily defeated Blountstown,
9-1, with Buddy Brown on the
mound. Brown gave up three
hits. -
In a big first inning, Steve
Hughes hit the first ball
pitched out of the park for a
homer. Also in the first, Steve
Mork doubled and Freddie
Woullard homered for a big
five run first."


By: Joe St. Clair .
There was a quote in a paper
the other day: "Trivial mat-
ters take up more time for
discussion because some of us
know more about them than
we do about important mat-
ters."
When we read this, we start-
ed thinking. It's ,true that
about 75 per cent of all con-
versations are about trivial
and unimportant matters.
Few people have the time to
get into deep and important
discussions any more, Is this
good--or is it bad? What are
important matters? Someone
has said-"It's important if it
helps you-your neighbor-
your country or the world."
Think back over the matters
you have discussed this week.
Were there many that were
important, or were the major-
ity of your discussions trivial?
OUR THOUGHT TO RE-
MEMBER:'. "IF TT TS HELT.P-


FUL-TAKE TIME TO DIq
CUSS IT."

Open Your



Home for A



Foster Child


Foster care is a service for
children who must live apart
from their families for rea-
sons of neglect, abandonment,
abuse, sickness and others.
This care may be provided in
a foster family or other types
of group facilities, depending
on the specific needs of the
child and may be either time
limited, long term, or perma-
nent.
It is the goal of the Division
of Family Services to have
homes available to meet the
specific needs of foster chil-
dren. At present, there is a
need for foster homes for
teenagers. These teenagers
often need a great deal of at-
tention and understanding.
The foster parents must be
willing to give of themselves
as well as of their time to en-
hance a positive relationship
in their home. This can be a
rewarding experience for fos-
ter parents and the good that
can be accomplished is unbe-'
lievable. '
Also, there is 'a strong need
for black foster homes, for
both young children and es-
pecially teenagers. The Divi-
sion is having to place more
and more black children and it
can be very traumatic to move
a child from one county to
another due to the lack of
homes,
Still another area of need is
foster homes for younger chil-
dren with special problems.
Problems such as physical
handicaps, learning disabili-
ties, behavioral problems, and
psychological hangups. These
areas require a lot of time and
consideration on the part of
foster parents as well as ex-
perience.
All foster parents, whether
for teenagers, blacks, or chil-
dren with special needs, are
engaged in the supreme task
of bringing up other people's
children. Therefore, the
agency wants the best foster
parents for foster children.
Those parents who are ear-
nest, sincere, genuine and
honest, who are able to com-
municate and hear what foster
children are saying and to
know their needs.
To be a foster parent, then,
is to experience dissatisfac-
tions and then again, satisfac-
tions. To see a child begin to
be able to love, what would be
more satisfying? To see a


child gradually lose his fear,
what could be greater? To see
a child gain confidence with
other children, what could
mean more? To give love and
accept love.
Children are real people
with real personalities. They
are even like you and me-
with feelings, worries and
fears. They need what you and
I need, only more so, love,
approval and a feeling of
belonging and having a place;
They need these things over
and over again and for a long
time. Foster parents and
workers who recognize these
human needs of children and
really bring them to pass have
made it possible for, children
to grow up and that is prob-
ably the most anyone can do
for anybody.
Consider your home situa-
tion and ask yourself these
questions:
1. Do I have 'room for
another child?
2. Do I have the time to give
to another child?
3. Can I cope with pro-
blems?
4. Can I do more good than
harm?
5. Do I have enough love to
spread around?
If your answers are yes and
you would like additional in-
formation about the foster
care program, contact the
Division of Family Services at
769-6171 or 639-5276 and ask for
Child Welfare.

For Your Tire


Dollars.


These days we all like to make
sure we're getting the most for
our money. That's why we'd like
-you to know the facts about why we
believe the Michelin 'X' to be your
z best tire buy.

Every Michelin 'X' tire is backed by a

40,000 mile warranty for tread wear on
domestic cars. That's just about twice
the mileage you'd expect from a conven-
tional tire under the same driving conditions.

Also, because of its radial design the Michelin
'X' rolls with less road resistance than
conventional tires, and that means you can save
up to 10% on your present gas consumption (pretty
good considering today's fuel crisis). Plus, every
Michelin 'X' tire gives you all the distinctive radial tire
advantages over conventional bias-ply tires: smoother
ride, easier handling, better traction and firmer road
holding. And, they add up to a lot of comfort and safety.

=st in better driving. Stop in and have a set of Michelin 'X'
radials installed today.

Think radial... and

) look to the leader

TENNIS TOURNAMENT
This year's city recreational
tennis tournament was far
more successful than in the
past few years. There were a
total of 39 entrants; divided
into five categories: 10 years
and under; 11-12 year olds;
13-14 year olds; 15-16 year olds
and the girls.
In, the 10 year and under
division, Tres Parker won in
the finals over Rodney "Spi-
der" Hamm, 6-1, 6-1. It was


the second year in a row that
these two boys have fought it
out in the finals.
In the 11 and 12 year old
division, Jay Hanlon won over
Marty Hamm in the finals, 7-5,
6-1. Perhaps the best match in
this division was between
Tommy Hudson of Apalachi-
cola and Tim Stutzman. Tim
won the first set 7-6 and-won in
sudden death 5-4. Tommy then
came back to win the match
7-6 (5-2), and 6-1. Tommy was
later eliminated by Hanlon
6-1, 6-2.
In the 13-14 year group, Stan
Brant defeated Rodney Her-
ring 6-3, 6-4. This was Rod-
ney's second year of playing
tennis.and he has come a long
way. He advanced to the finals
by beating Bob Lang 7-6 (5-4)
and 6-2; also Mark Kilbourn,
6-2, 6-2 and Matt Groom 6-1,
1-6, 6-2, which saw a match of
changing momentum. Brant
advanced by defeating Woody
Jones 6-2, 6-2; Danny Dewitt
6-2, 6-4 and David Sullivan 6-1,
6-1. This was the fourth conse-
cutive year Brant has placed
in the tournament, three of

In the oldest boys' tourna-
ment, Tom Robinson ad-
vanced to the finals and beat
Wade Stoutamire 7-6, (5-3)
and 6-2. Robinson reached the
finals by defeating Ewell Har-
rison 6-4, 6-1 and Dewayne
Brant, 6-1, 6-1.
Perhaps the most interest-
ing of all divisions was the
talent of the girls' tourna-
ment. Marion Costin beat
Connie Stoutamire in the
finals 7-6 (5-0) and 6-3. Connie
reached the finals by defeat-
ing Phoebe Barlow 6-0, 6-1 and


Nancy Knox 6-4, 6-1. On th
other court, Marion gained tl-
finals by beating Debbie
Hamm, in the most tight)
contested match of the yea;
7-6 (5-4), 3-6, 7-6 (5-3). Both < :
these girls deserved to win.
The tennis program hr-
been a great success this yea ,
and the tournament was t'r
best way to end a fine season
It really takes fortitude to E
out in the 90 to 100 degrc
weather and play matches a-
the youth did in the past week:
The tennis potential in tb.-,
community in the years t)
come should be great.
