The6 copter took' the officials on a swing over the county to, inspect the damage. The inspection tour followed an announcement by Gover- nor Reubin Askew Thursday that the area has been declar- ed eligible for disaster gov- ernment loans to repair dam- age. Congressman Bob Sikes had announced last Tuesday that he was making disaster loan funds available should the Governor make his dec- laration. Road Superintendent Whit- field said the helicopter enabl- them in shape again. "Some bf our dirt roads are completely gone as well as many paved roads", Whitfield said. The flight inspection was arranged by area Civil De- fense' coordinator Bob Jones. L "' ** Disaster Loan Funds Available In Gulf Co. The Gulf County Commission was notified Tuesday that Gulf County has been declared a disaster area by Governor Reubin Askew as a result of, damages caused by torrential rains during the month of July. The action by the Governor makes the county and its residents eligible for federal disaster loans in order to repair damages caused by the water. , Earlier, Congressman Bob Sikes had agreed to take steps to make federal money available should the Governor' declare a disaster area. Congressman Sikes said his request' had been filed with the proper authorities. Civil Defense Director Richard '.Lancaster said any request for such aid should be made through his office in order to expedite any requests more quickly. Lancaster said his office has been set up to handle the claims and applications for the disaster loans.1 The Civil Defense Director said any such claims can 'be handled quicker through his office than through individual efforts of a property owner or governmental agency. Although the expected crowd of people didn't show up at the County Commission meeting Tuesday morning to complain of drainage prob- lems, the Board took concrete steps to alleviate the problems anyhow; at least in the City of Port St. Joe. -For several years, the Coun- ty has been attempting to open a huge drain canal from Fifth Street near the Courthouse to Depot Creek to take care of s6me of the worst drainage' problems in the city. Tuesday, the Board instructed Mosquito Control Supervisor, Emmett Daniell, to proceed with drag- line operations at least 50 Hours a week until the project is finished. Daniell's former instruc- tions were to work on the project as he could afford the time and to dig the ditch from S Depot Creek toward Port St. S Joe. Now, the Board has instructed the department to Begin work at Highway 98 and Sdig toward the creek. The orders to dig from the creek toward the city were at the, request of the land owner and Daniell said his engineers said this was the proper way S. ... .to dig the canal. The latest Pri dgeon Victim ofOR..at Mishap, The body of Earl Tom (Tommy) Pridgeon, Jr,, age 39, of Tallahassee was recov- ered Tuesday morning around 9:00, after ,a 60 hour search by Gulf County Sheriff's De- partment and many volun- teers. According to Sheriff Raymond Lawrence, Prid- geon's body was found in shallow water near St. Joseph Point by a Raffield Fisheries boat which had been taking part in the search. Pridgeon disappeared after falling from a boat in which he and three other companions were fishing Saturday evening about 9:00 P.M. He reportedly fell from the rear of the boat in Sad-faced rescue workers are shown above at the Fifth bringing in the body of Tommy Pridgeon following a 60-hour Street boat launching ramp as they perform the grim task of search.

The body was taken from the water by a Sheriff's De- partment boat and brought back to Port St. Joe. According to Sheriff Law- rence and Deputy Jimmy Williams many boats, both private and commercial, were involved in. the round-the- clock search. Pridgeon was a member of the Methodist Church. He was a former resident of Port St. Joe and a former choir direc- tor of the First United Metho- dist Church here. He was a graduate of Blountstown High School and was associated with Bacon Insurance Agency of Tallahassee. Survivors include his wife, Mrs. Fay Pridgeon; one daughter, Phyllis Pridgeon; two' sons, Kim and Michael Pridgeon, all of Tallahassee; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. T.

Daniell said engineering showed there would be plenty df fall to allow relief from incoming tides in times of hard rains. He said tide water would run in a southerly direction rather than toward Port St. Joe. In his words, he stated, "If tide water comes into Port St. Joe from this direction, everything else will be under water already and a drain ditch won't do much good." BUDGET Finance Officer Jerry Gates told the Board he had com- munication from Property Appraiser Sammy Patrick that the County must levy 4.873 mills in order to bring in the same tax dollars as last year's levy of 5.13 mills did. Gates went on. to say, "Mr. Patrick still doesn't have a definite figure on taxable pro- perty valuation, but he says the figure will run about $106,294,543." Last year's tax- able property valuation was $94,310,319. This means a mill levied for the new budget will bring in $106,294.54. Gates went on to say that even though the Board has cut the tentative budget consider- ably, they still will'not be able to finance it without a slight (Continued on Page 8) Teachers, School Board Agree to One Year Pact The Guff County Classroom Teachers Association, bar- gaining agent for county school personnel and the .School Board will sign a one year working agreement this afternoon. According to Win- ston Wells, chairman of the teacher negotiating team and David Bidwell, School Super- intendent, the agreement will be signed at a special school board meeting this afternoon at 3:30. Both Wells and Bidwell said the agreement was negotiated and ratified with no impasse being reached during the ne- gotiating period. As Wells puts it, the contract provides pretty much the same work rules as the teachers have worked under in the past, but they-are spelled out on paper where everybody can see what is expected. No extra money is involved in the new working agree- ment. Teachers will get only their regular increment 'in- creases this coming school year, if they are eligible for the increases. The cloudy financial picture at the pre- sent time kept the teachers: from insisting on a pay in- crease anrid the School Board from offering one. O-ne of the most valuable, portions of the new contract, where the teachers are con- cerned is the installation of'a grievance procedure. There are four steps in the procedui.e with the final step being binding arbitration by a local arbitrator. Other points of the!contract reduce the work year from 200 days to 190 days, with the same number of classroom' days in a school year as in the past; a 7% hour teacher work day; payroll deductions of dues, insurance, credit union shares, etc., and a duty-free lunch period for the teacher as proyided.'by a duty schedule.'; Sheriff's Deputy Jim Buchanan dusts for Bobby Lightfoot watch the investigation fingerprints following break-in of Rich's IGA. process. Star Photo Owner Bill Rich, left, and City patrolman Police Solve Two Local Thefts In Record Time Port St. Joe's Police De- partment suffered from some of the same .problems as the people of Port St. Joe this past week. It rained crime for two days and kept the Department busy trying to cover 'the trouble spots. The Police De- partment had better luck with their crime wave than the City and County had with their water problems however. Early Friday morning, State Proceeding With Point Purchase Even with the majority of the people in Gulf County opposing it at public hearings, the State of Florida is moving ahead with plans to purchasenearly 1,000 acres of land on St. Joseph Peninsula, according to a story released in the Tallahassee Democrat Tues- day of this week. The news release reported that purchase of the property would be recommended to the Florida Cabinet and negotiations are under way to bring the rest of the land. under the Environmentally Endan- geed Land Act. TheInteragency Advisory Committee approved the purchase of 920 acres, which are now privately owned, for $5.105 million. The sale can only be finalized by Governor Reubin Askew and the Cabinet. The state already owns the northern half of the narrow peninsula on the Gulf of Mexico, with a small portion of the land developed into a state park. ' Coming to terms with the IAC is Cape San Blas Joint Venture,' an Atlanta, Georgia group, which had planned a resort develop- ment there. It has agreed 'to sell its 870.31 acres to th e for $4.7 million. The $5,400 price per acre is the lower of two appraisals. The highest was $5,754. Partnership, Inc., of Florida, which owns 50 acres spanning, the narrow strip of land, has said it will accept $8,100 an acre, just $100 under the lower of the two appraisals. The committee was told that Troy M. Deal, Jr., who owns 233.4 acres with appraised values of $5,300 and $5,977, will trade some 199 acres at $6,000 an acre. No recommendation was made on the proposal. No recommendation was made on an- other 44.2 acres, owned by William E. Harris, who has dropped his price from $750,000 to $600,000 and offered to sell the bayside half for $285,000. Appraised prices were less than half the original asking price. George 'G. Tapper Co., owns 31 acres. appraised at $6,450 and $6,703 per acre, but no sale price has been discussed because they are under option to Charles Whitehead of Panama City who plans a housing develop- ment there. The option, IAC was told, is subject to the granting of a dredge and fill permit for a marina and Whitehead, a Panama City businessman, has not made a decision as to what he will do. thieves broke into Rich's IGA and took several cartons of cigarettes and broke into four drink machines, emptying the coin boxes. Police Chief H. W. Griffin and patrolman Bobby Light- foot said the thieves gained entrance to the store through the rear, then found the key to the drink boxes to aid their aim of getting at the money inside. Lightfoot reported late Fri- day afternoon that two arrests had been made in connection with the theft. Johnny Mac Harrell was arrested as an accessory after the fact and is currently in jail. A juvenile male was also arrested and charged with the actual theft. Lightfoot said the juvenile is charged with entering the super market and Harrell is charged with helping him carry off the loot. Lightfoot said the arrest of the juvenile has cleared up two more cases of robbery of vending machines in the Port St. Joe area. The juvenile was turned over to the Division of Youth Services in Panama City. Police recovered 75 cartons of cigarettes and about $30.00 in change which is said to have been taken from the drink machines. Police were aided in ,their investigation by Deputy Sher- iffs Jim Buchanan, Raymond Watson and Frank' McKie- then. Wednesday night, police were notified that an automo- bile owned by Charles Wall was stolen from his front yard. The car was recovered and two men charged with the theft Saturday morning in Fort Myers. Arrested were Roger Lee Wheeler, 19, and Sidney Carr Gilman, 26. The two were escapees from Lake Butler. The pair was arrested in Immokalee on a charge of drug possession. After the arrest they admitted to the car theft and told where the vehicle had been left. Wheeler and Gilman are being held in the Immokalee jail and will be brought back to Port St. Joe this week for arraignment on the car theft charge. .' w.,w *** *-.C~ ~.~.fl4'tfl.4'fl'fl 4~.tfltfl %4 Sfl Ofl~fl -.4-4 44 "4 -.~..

'. Years ago my Mother was robbed on the highway of Gulf County. The "highway rob- ber" was apprehended, pro- per charges were filed, and the case was never tried. Several years ago my mobile home at Howard Creek was broken into and cleaned out. The burglar was appre- hended in another county with items taken from my place. Proper charges were filed and again the criminal was never tried. Four months later my place was broken into again. A quickie investigation was made with no effort made to apprehend the criminal. Recently I filed a case in Small Claims Court to attempt to collect a long overdue debt. I had to make three trips to the court house (the third trip with the assistance of an At- torney) before I could get the case filed. On the day the County Judge was to hear the case, all he did was grant a change of venue in order to prevent being bothered with the case. Is this the type of justice the people of Gulf County want? Sincerely, Clyde M. Melvin Green 'N Grassy By Mike Beaudoin Who Wants 'Good Old Days'? Today's generation is al- ways complaining of high prices. They keep referring back to the days when prices were lower as "the good old days." But were they really "good old days?" Most people tend to forget thattheqi salary.tqday.(nMgt of them-t has'rii6n, at 'least in proportion 4ith'- price L in- creases. They also forget the luxuries, which cost money, that they have today but didn't have, say 20 years ago. Just for a minute let's pretend that today is exactly 30 years ago. A fellow making $150 a week today was probably making $33 at that time, maybe even less depending on occupation. He could buy cigarettes for 15 cents a pack, sugar was five pounds for 22 cents, gasoline-for 27 cents a gallon and a good suit for $35. These prices today are double, or triple what they were then. But look at that salary again. It is about three times higher! But for the sake of argument, let's assume that incomes have not kept pace with prices today. You might say that your parents were better off with their $33 a week than you are today with $100. Let's see if that's true. Most $150 a week couples (even if the wife doesn't work) can afford a new car every three or four years. Do you remember your dad doing that? Nearly all $150. a week couples (and some making far less) today own their own homes. Think for a minute to 1945 and try to remember how many working people you'\knew then owned their home. - Then 'there's the five day week, which was practically unheard of in 1945. It gives you more time to relax, which is fine, but it also gives you more time to go places - and to spend money. Just for fun, stop and figure up how much money you would have in a bank account if you had saved all the money you've spent just on buying TV sets and TV repair. Bet it'll surprise you. Also to help you enjoy those leisure hours you have air conditioning, power lawnmowers, dish washers, clothes washers and dryers, central heating, more ex- pensive cars which use more gasoline. All of these things are fairly commonplace items today. They were practically unheard of in 1940. The list of real luxury items could go on and on. Such things as electric can openers, automobile air con- ditioners, golfing carts, color TV, extension telephones, etc. ` Still want to go back to the "good old days?" Axe Handle Justice: Wrong Man Locked In Tonight by CHARLIE WEBB The two partners- in a pio- neer commissary store could Stone stated he was worried that the sales, coupled with speculation :in grain futures and a short fall in the domestic corn production would drive up grain and all derivative food prices. Arthur Burns, Federal Re- serve System Chairman, stated "I don't see any escape from the conclusion that the grain sales will bring on new inflation." Santa Rosans should write their senators and represent- atives and request them to take action to stop all grain sales to the Soviet Union. The time to act is before the fact. Write that letter or send that wire now! -Milton Press-Gazette not remember the name of a customer who had purchased a red-handled house broom. After days of worry about the loss, the partners began to tinker around with the idea of charging all their customers for a broom. The commissary owners were sensible men and rea- lized that to charge all cus- tomers with a broom would cause the store to make a tre- mendous profit on just one broom. This they did not want to do, but in order for justice to be delt to the unknown broom purchaser, the partners bal- anced off their consciences with the justice idea and de- cided to charge all customers with a broom and let the pro- fits on the broom be what they might be. One man angrily challenged their decision to charge him with a broom that he did not purchase. This was during the time when buggy whips and axe handles were a great motivating factor for justice. One partner told the other one to go outside and lock the door that he was going to buggy whip the man for 'ar- guing about being charged for the broom. When the door locked, the inside partner reached for a buggy whip from a barrel of whips, but the angry man grabbed arr axe handle from a nearby barrel of axe handles and reversed the procedure by pursuing the store owner. On one of his runs around inside the store-over sacks of sweet feed for mules scattered on the floor and under low horse collars from the store THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY, AUGUST 14, 1975 ceiling, with the pursuing axe- handle swinging man going full speed on each rise over the bags of feed and on every dodge of the horse collars, the store owner edged close to the locked door and hollered out to his partner: "The next time I run by unlock the door and let me out. We have the wrong man locked in tonight." Perhaps the consciences that has little affinity towards axe handle justice will never be confronted with the wrong physical images, destroying the beautiful freedom of the heart.

After we printed last week's paper, our unofficial official weather man, Bill Winters gave me another statistic to describe our July rains here in Gulf County. If the figure of 25.2 inches of rain in a 30 day period wasn't enough to impress you, here's another figure: Gulf County has had an average rainfall of 55 inches for the past five years. What fell during July was nearly half our average annual rainfall. And two-thirds of this fell within a week. Now, imagine, if you can, how one is going to drain property which is four feet above sea level in a downpour like that? As one paper we exchange with put it, our wet season is now over and Dog Days have begun. Isn't that a happy thought? After seeing the advertisements on TV of the Jim Stafford Show, I have been on pins and needles waiting to be home one night when the show was on, to see the new offering cooked up by the networks. I didn't miss anything, I find. Thursday's show, Stafford opened with a little ditty entitled, "I Got Stoned and I Missed It". He must have still been stoned, since he missed the idea of the show which is to entertain the audience. He missed that, too. I have another song title to give .Stafford which would make his program better "I Got' Sick, So I Turned It off". I no more than got my mother out of the hospital than son-in-law, Tommy Oliver called me up Thursday afternoon about 5:30 and casually asked, "Wes, which side is your -appendix on?" I told him mine was now on the outside but when I had it, it was on the right side. "Doggone it," he said, "That's right where I'm hurting", he said. I told him to go to the doctor and he did, only to wind up getting the thing snatched out Thursday night about 9:30. The beautiful part of it all is that I have grandsons Richard and Steven down here with me this Saturday while this is being written -while their mother is ministering to.herhusband at.

"Papaw, saw this board for me, it's too long" ... "Papaw, give me a quarter to get me a drink with". and on and on. Did you ever try to start a train of thought with all this going on? Did you ever try to maintain a spark of an idea with two active grandsons in the same room? If this column gets written in some semblence of order, it's going to be a miracle. All Tommy is complaining of is a belly-ache. The headache is here with me. Former Senator Edward Gurney has been judged not guilty by a jury after a lengthy trial and publicity which forced the Senator to abandon plans for re-election to his senate seat. While we are perfectly pleased with Richard Stone as our United States Senator, it seems to be a terrible waste of talent and abilities to have Senator Gurney on the sidelines when our nation needs men of leadership ability so badly. Our nation seems to be obsessed at the present with the waste of energy, but our biggest sin is our wastt -f manpower from Senator Gurney on down to the forced retirement of our 65-year-olds who still have so much to offer, both in service and know-how. I see where the seafood people are still hammering at the flow of the river dam proposed by the Corps of Engineers near Blountstown. The Engineers say the tumbler dam, which will allow the unencumbered river to flow freely will also maintain sufficient water over the main trouble spot in the river. The seafood people say it will damage the oyster production. Records show. the oyster production has increased five times since the Apalachicola River flow was first managed in 1958. In face of this fact, which are their own figures, how can they support an argument that a flow of the river dam will damage seafood production? Deputies Make Two Arrests Oh Robberies The Sheriff's Department made two outstanding arrests this past week according to Sheriff Raymond Lawrence. Last Thursday at 11 p.m. a deputy on routine patrol called the dispatcher for a check on a car carrying a Kentucky li- ceqse plate. Within minutes the com- puter came back with infor- mation that the vehicle was' stolen from Louisville, Ky., and the driver of the car was wanted. The car was stopped and the' driver, George Park- er, Jr. of Louisville, was ar- rested for possession of stolen property. The FBI had charges against him for Inter- state transportation of a stolen vehicle. Federal marshals from Tal- lahassee picked the prisoner up Friday afternoon for trans- portation back to Louisville to answer charges there. Friday afternoon Larry Childs of 174 Avenue F, Port St. Joe, was arrested for pos- session of stolen property.. Childs subsequently confessed to numerous burglaries and larcenies over the past three months and led officers to the location of much of the stolen goods. This arrest clears up *many cases in Gulf County and Bay County. Childs is currently lodged in the Gulf County Hail in lieu of $5,000.bond.

Colonel Eldrige Beach, Pat- rol director said, "These fig- ures represent a 10 per cent drop in fatalities from the same period in 1974 and a 26 per cent reduction from 1973, which was the year before the WAM ,0 fuel shortage and the 55 miles No O per hour speed limit." P M -- He continued, "When you ^ realize that over five people every day or almost one per- son every five hours is being killed in traffic crashes in Florida, it should bother dri- vers enough to make them take stock of their driving habits." Patrol records show that for 1974, careless driving was the. leading factor in 630 total. r | crashes and drinking ran a close second with 566. These em: two factors were involved in almost half of the total fatal crashes. ... 10:00 He concluded by saying, 11: 00 "Almost everyone is aware by now that just obeying the 55 6:00 miles per hour speed law can ... 7: 00 save a considerable amount of money in fuel costs. Just be- a rvin cause some drivers are ignor- ing the speed limit and pass- e.r ing you, don't complain. Be glad that you are protecting your life and saving money at the same time."

GERALD A. LEWIS As Administrator 2t 8-14 houghtf Lto Remember By Joe St. Clair / The story is told about the farmer who had taken an old, run-down, grown-up piece of land and through many months of sun-'til- sun labor had made it into a beautiful farm. A man riding by in a buggy one day, seeing the farmer working in a field, pulled up and called out: "You and the Lord sure do have a nice farm here." "Yes," the farmer replied. "You should have seen it -when the Lord had it by himself!" There is a great deal of "truth in this story. We ac- 'complish many things only through our own efforts. God helps us by supplying health.and strength, know- how and, intelligence, but the fields are made beauti- ful with an axe, a grubbing hoe, and a lot of hard work. The same is true with all phases of life. OUR THOUGHT TO RE- MEMBER: "GOD HELPS HIM WHO HELPS HIM- SELF."

Mulch Can Reduce Need for Weeding By: Dr. Robert Black Extension Horticulture Writer University of Florida . Most homeowners are look- ing for ways of reducing main- !tenance in their yards and gardens. The use of a mulch around plants can greatly re- duce the time spent mowing and weeding. A mulch consists of any kind of material applied to the soil surface around plants to con- itrol weeds, conserve mois- ture, and moderate soil tem- perature. The mulch material 'may be organic such as com- post, bark, leaves,, grass clip- pings or similar materials; or inert such as gravel, pebbles or polyethylene film. Mulches suppress weeds when the mulch material itself is weed- free and is applied deeply enough to prevent weed ger- mination or smother existing smaller weeds. An occasional weed may poke through the mulch, but it can be easily pulled out. Mulch materials have many beneficial effects upon the soil and plants. They prevent loss of water from the soil by eva- poration. Moisture moves by capillary action to the surface and evaporates if not covered by a mulch. Mulching will prevent crusting of the soil surface, thus improving ab- sorption and percolation of water into the soil and at the same time, eliminating ero- sion. Maintenance of a more uni- form soil temperature can be obtained by mulching. The mulch acts as an insulator that keeps the soil cool under intense sunlight and warm during cold spells. Organic materials used as a mulch can improve soil struc- ture and tilth. As it decays the material works down into the topsoil. Decaying mulch also adds nutrients to the soil. Mulches also add to the beauty of the landscape by providing a cover of uniform color and interesting texture to an otherwise drab surface. Dark colored mulches widen the pupil of the eye, allowing more of the sensible light from flowers to enter the eye. Con- sequently, those dark mulches give plantings a more attrac- tive appearance. The time to apply a mulch on most established ornamen- tal plants is in the spring. When applying a mulch to newly set vegetables or orna- mental plants, do so after they are put into place and tho- roughly watered. For best results, apply mulch at least two to four inches deep over the whole area; but avoid covering the crowns of low-growing orna- mental plants, Keeping the layer deep enough to do the job is important. This means that more mulching material should be added to the older layers to get the maximum benefits of mulching. Many organic materials, such as straw, wood chips, and sawdust are rich in carbohy- drates and low in nitrogen. Usually, you will find it bene- ficial to add nitrogen fertilizer to the material before apply- ing it as a mulch. One or two cups of fertilizer high in nitro- gen (ammonium nitrate, sodium nitrate or ammonium, sulfate) 'for each bushel of organic material will supply the needed nitrogen. When plastic film or alumi- num foil is used as a mulch, it is essential that fertilizer be applied before placing the mulch material on the soil. Broadcast and incorporate - into the top two to three inches of soil a complete fertilizer at the rate of two pounds per 100 square feet of garden area. The mulch material reduces the leaching of fertilizer from the arBp-here the roots will develop, hence larger amounts of fertilizer are not required Mulching may be your most valuable,.garden practice. A good mulch will reduce the amount of cultivating, weed- ing and watering and increase your chances of growing a healthy and vigorous plant.

Gates said, "You have an increase of $92,000 over last year's expenditures, even with all the cuts you have' made". The Finance Officer went on to say the increase was due to salary increases, retirement pay requirements, increased utilities, and new programs which the County is required to operate in the new year. Gates recomir rnded the Board advertise their inten- tion to raise the millage and consider a .75 mill hike. "The time is running out, and if you decide to cut more rather than raise taxes to meet proposed expenditures, you can still do so without going through sev- eral mandatory steps."

After a long pause, Commission Silas Player seconded the motion. On the vote Chairman Otis Davis, Jr., cast the only "nay" vote. The other Commission- ers voted for the motion rather than face the only alternative of shutting down one or more of the county operations. During the budget discus- sion, School Board chairman Wallace Guillot and Superin- tendent David Bidwell asked the County to share some of their revenue sharing funds with them so they wouldn't have to raise taxes. "We're $200,000 short", Bidwell said. Commissioner Player ex- plained that the revenue shar- ing money could not be used for lowering millage and sug- gestions from the federal gov- ernment were that they not be committed for on-going pro- grams.

Winter said Northern Flor- ida is wasting too much sur-. face water. "The water users in the Panhandle rely too heavily on underground water for their source of supply". Displaying a chart of water availability and useage, the speaker showed that most of the Panhandle is in the same situation as Gulf:, they ~use only a fraction of the water available. "You have ample water for expansion", he said: * The plentiful water supply didn't mean the area couldn't get into trouble. He pointed out that most of the coastal areas are committing the same error as Fort Walton Beach: they are relying too heavily on well water which in time could lower the water table to the extent where we would experience salt water intrusion.

Robinson, Social Security Field Representative for Gulf County. "We're generally busiest on Monday and Tuesdays and during the first two weeks of the month," Robinson said. "For prompter service, call or visit us on Wednesday, Thurs- day or Friday during the second half of the month." And it's a good idea to call the social security office ahead of time, according to Rbbinson. "A lot of social security business can be han- dled by phone, and a call may save you a trip," he said.

During each maintenance operation, only those portions of a channel that have re- ceived significant shoaling since the previous mainte- nance are dredged. An aver- age annual quantity of 100,000 cubic yards of material is ac- cumulated in the channel. The channels are currently dredged on a 40-month main- tenance schedule. Shoaled material from the inner har- bor channels is removed by hydraulic pipeline dredge. One disposal area is bayward of Highway 98 and north of the Gulf County Canal. The Flor- ida Department of Transpor- tation has requested dredged material compatible to exist- ing beach material to be placed in this area to protect the seawall and highway em- bankment. During 1974, 548,797 tons of commerce were transported on the channel by 188 vessel trips. Local traffic includes commercial fishermen and sports fishermen.

Max Muller, president, said, "The high levels of sales and earnings'achieved by the com- pany last year and in the first quarter of 1975 did not extend into the second quarter. For the second quarter, income was 20 cents per share com- pared to 99 cents in 1974. For the first' half, earnings were $1.07 per share compared to $1.23 in 1974. '"The significant drop, in steelproduction considerably reduced sales of our sthel- making refractories; and sales of our electronic pro- ducts continued downward, reflecting the severely de- pressed conditions prevailing in the electronics industry. On the other hand, chemicals sales and earnings held up relatively well. "Indications are that the re- cession has bottomed out and that it is only a matter of time before a meaningful recovery develops. We are continuing our long-term expansion pro- gram in anticipation of future growth 'in the industries we serve." Basic Incorporated is a diversified producer of steel- making refractories and of chemical and electronic pro- ducts. Hurricanes Pose Threat For Southern Shorelines The Great Florida Hurricane is the biggest U.S. killer storm on record. It came howling out of the Florida Straits on the morning of September 16, 1928. When the big storm returned to the Atlantic two days later, it had forced the water out of Lake Okeechobee, flooding the Miami area under a 20 foot surge driven by' 100-mile-an-hour winds. The hurricane drowned 1,836 Floridians and inundated much of south Florida for weeks. The greatest property damage on record, over $3 billion, was caused in June, /1972, by Hurricane Agnes. Agnes caused most of her grief when she ran into a , storm front over Virginia and dumped torrential rains on 13 states. The Insurance Information Institute says that a big hurricane striking anywhere from Cape Fear to the Mississippi Delta would endanger the lives and property of millions of southern coast dwellers. Many are not aware of the danger posed by the big winds. They could be caught unprepared and uninsured against nature's fury. The Institute says drowning from flood-produ- cing rain and wind-driven storm surges causes 75 per cent of hurricane deaths. Hurricane induced flooding and high winds cause most of the heavy property damage associated with the big storms. Conventional homeowners and auto insurance won't protect coast dwellers against storm losses. The National Flood Insurance Program is a joint federal/private- industry insurance plan to sell inexpensive flood insurance that will protect consumers from hurricane flood losses. Flood insurance is available fimrom'- ariny -indepehdent home/auto insurance agent. If you live in. a hurricane-prone area, here are some suggestions that could save your life and help alleviate property damage should the big winds strike this summer. DURING THE STORM -- Stay inside of your shelter. Keep pets and children inside and away from windows and doors. Listen to the radio for emergency information. Keep, an eye on the weather. Watch for flooding and falling trees that could endanger your shelter. -- Beware of the storm's "eye," the period of relative calm and clearing skies that marks the hurricane's center. Don't be fooled into thinking the danger has passed. High winds will shortly .return from a different direction. The "second act", of a hurricane is often the worst part. AFTER THE STORM Special disaster relief plans will go into effect as soon as it's safe to begin emergency operations. You can help by staying out of the way of relief operations, keeping off the telephone and staying indoors, away from "the danger of fallen trees and broken power lines. -- Take an inventory of your personal loss as soon as possible. Seek medical assistance for injured family members. If there's been heavy flooding, boil any tap water or purify it with chemicals. Dispose of spoiled food and other waste to prevent_ disease. Avoid striking matches or smoking until you're sure that gas mains are intact. If your home or business has been damaged, make temporary repairs to prevent further loss. Store fronts should be boarded up to prevent looting. Windows and doors can be covered with plastic sheeting or boarded up. Temporary repair costs are covered by your insurance or are tax deductible. Keep receipts and make a record of repair costs. -- Make an inventory of your property loss. Provide this information. to your insurance agent: Photographs of damaged property also can be useful in determining your loss. -- Contact your insurance agent. But be patient. Hurricanes exact a heavy toll in life and property damage, and the most serious claims must be settled first. Extra claims adjusters and company personnel will be brought in to your community and payment of claims will be expedited as much as possible. The Insurance Information Institute says, remember! June through November is hurricane season throughout the tropics and southern coastal states. Taking a few moments now to plan for the big winds can do a lot to reduce suffering and speed recovery if a hurricane strikes. And listening to weather advisories regularly during the summer months could save your life!
