Industry Deep Water Port Fine People Safest Beaches in Florida PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA THURSDAY, AUGUST 28, 1975 15 Cents Per Copy TlIRTY7-;IEIf lT H YEAR uum Un. 5 Says Cut Would Curtail Services Library Asks for Increase In Budget Members of the Gulf County Library Board and District Library director, warned the Gulf County Commission that several services of the local library will have to be curtail- ed if the County continues with plans to cut their contribution to the district by $2,000.in next year's budget. The Library Committee, with Emmett Daniell and Mrs. James T. McNeill as spokes- men, advised the Board the county had not increased their annual $20,000 contribution during the past several years, "While our expenses, like everyone else's has soared". Mrs. Patton said the library had already cut some services in the past due to lack of local funds and faced a drastic cut in the coming year if an increase is not provided. She said the library was open less hours in the week now and one trip of the bookmobile had been cancelled due to lack of operating funds. "We face a curtailment of the bookmobile and only part time operation of the permanent facilities", Mrs. Patton said. She said Bay County has subsidized a por- tion of the operation in the past but will not continue to do so. Mrs. McNeill said the need for an increase was brought about by increases in expen- ses over which they had no control. She listed items as increased Social Security, util- ity bills, retirement and trans- portation costs. The Library Board is asking that the county contribute $27,393.60 in the new budget. The county proposes -to con- tribute $18,000. They have paid $20,000. per year into the district for the past several years, Mrs. McNeill, said,the Li- brary's only options were to receive more money, cut ser- vices .drastically or close the doors entirely. Commissioners Otis davis, Jr., and- Silas Player both pointed to the county's pros- pect of having to increase taxes by some $90,000 even after a 10 percent reduction has been made in all operation budgets. Both Davis and Player and Commissioner Owens, the only ones present Tuesday night, agreed to con- sider the request before the final decision is made on the new budget. INSURANCE DROPPED The County was notified Tuesday night that their in- surance, carriers for work- man's compensation and in- surance on the Courthouse were dropping the county as a customer. The workman's compensation was refusing to .renew their policy because of the high claim experience. The Courthouse insurance carrier bowed out of the picture because the carrier is closing down its operations in Florida. Port St. Joe agent Frank Hannon, gave the Board a letter Tuesday night stating his company, Continental In- surance was dropping the workman's compensation cov- erage when the present policy expires in November. Hannon said the firm had carried the policy since 1958, but that claim experience over the past five years had been greater than the average county this size over the state. He said the firm was losing money on the business and was pulling out. Hannon said the county was paying the highest premium allowed by state insurance laws on the coverage and was presently paying 59 percent more than the average county in Florida. Hannon said, "The policy has been used too much. The claims are too numerous, therefore the com- pany is bowing out of ,the picture." Hannon said this action by Continental would also keep other firms from writing the business. "The only way you Promoting A Safe Holiday The Port St. Joe Jaycees will again this year conduct their annual "Arrive Alive" refreshment station for tired drivers during the *Labor Day weekend. The station will open Saturday morning at 8 o'clock and continue on a round-the- clock basis through Labor Day. The refreshment station to be located near the Florida First National Bank building on Highway 98 will have available hot coffee and cool refresh- Sments for those who stop for a breather in their travels. Rotary District Governor Bob Shircliff, left and Dr. Tom Gibson, president of the Port St. Joe Club chat after the meeting here by the club last Thursday. District. Governor Shircliff paid his annual official visit to the Club and held an assembly at the Country Club Wednesday night and spoke to the club at their weekly meeting in the Motel St. Joe Thursday at noon. In his address, Governor Shircliff expres- sed his dismay over the erosion of respect and can get the required coverage now is through the Florida rating bureau. This will cost the county eight percent more in premiums", he said. The Board decided to adver- tise for coverage to try to get another firm to pick up their policy before going the route Hannon suggested. The second policy dropped was coverage on the Court- house. The county was in- formed by their agent, M. P. Tomlinson of Port St. Joe that Proyidence Wasington, who carries the insurance was moving out of Florida and cancelling its policies.

The team will be representing Port St. Joe, Gulf County, the State of Florida, South Alabama' and Georgia in the tournament, which' will feature the best 32 slow pitch teams in the United Statep. The team won the state championship in Pensacola on August 9 and' 10 then took the regional tournament in Orlando on August 16 and 17. Last year, the team went to Charlotte, North Carolina to compete with 52 teams for the national 'championship. They ended up in 25th 'place in the double elimination event, This year, the national tournament has been reduced to 32 teams due to the regional play-offs. The tournament begins Friday and continues through Monday morning, when the finals will be played. Raffield's plays its first game on Saturday morning. Expenses for the team to travel to York will run in the neighborhood of $4,500.

Jackson Not Guilty of Murder Charge Circuit Court in Gulf County disposed of 14 cases in a four day session last week and would have been a very ho- hum session had it not been for Gulf County's first murder trial in over two years. Of the 14 cases, only two went to jury trials, both of whom were found not guilty; two had their 'charges nol . pressed and were released; Gulf Schools Open Tuesday When school bells ring at 8:10 Tuesday morning, sum- mer vacations will be over for over 2,650 Gulf County kids,,as the classrooms take over where the beach left off and another year of study begins. Attendance projections by the office of Superintendent of Schools, David Bidwell, indi- cate the student load will be changed very little for the coming year. Some reductions are anticipated in the elemen- tary grades while the high schools in the county expect slight increases in student load. "All our figures are estimates", Bidwell said. "We won't really know how many kids we will have until school begins Tuesday". All schools in the county are beginning this year's session Death Takes J. F. Davis John F.

As a matter of fact, the system has releas- ed a few of the personnel who served last year; principally teacher aides. Port St. Joe High School principal Ken Herring says pre-school registration and transfers indicate the institu- tion will begin operation Tues- day with 886 pupils. "This is a slight increase over the end of school last' year", Herring said. The' principal said clas- ses will begin at 8:20 and school will be out at 2:15. The school day will feature six 50-minute sessions with a half hour for lunch. About the only change in curriculum this year will be a continued swing toward more emphasis on teaching of the basics of education. "We plan to continue our emphasis on teaching a student to read", Herring said. Lunches in the cafeteria will sell for 50c for students and $1.00 for adults. ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS The two elementary schools of the Port St. Joe area will begin operations with a reduc- ed pupil load according to the principals, Harry Herrington and Howard Blick. Blick said pre-school registration shows a deficit of about six pupils from last-year's load. Blick (Continued on Page 8) six cases were continued and four entered pleas of guilty. In the murder case, John Henry Jackson of the "Metho- dist Hill" section of Wewa- hitchka section of Wewahitch- hitchka was charged with the second degree murder of his wife, Naomi Jackson. Jackson was charged with beating his wife to death on a road leading to their home. . Jackson testified he came home in the early evening and his wife was gone. "I thought she was still at work", he testified. A short time later, Mrs. Jackson was brought hpme by Charlie Edward Gray and Gray's girl friend. Gray testified Jackson was mad and hit the victim several times after she returned home. She was reported in- toxicated at the time. Jackson said a short while later he went to bed and was watching a movie on TV. Later he realized his wife had left the house. He dressed and went looking for her; inquir- ing of several people as torher whereabouts. A neighbor of the Jacksons testified she heard a fight in the road between the two homes a short time later and called Deputy Sheriff Jimmy Williams. Williams testified that when he arrived at the scene he found Jackson kneeling over the victim who had passed out, slapping her and punching her, exhorting her to wake up and get up. Williams testified Jackson told him he came. upon a group of people fussing and thrashing about in the road. When he approached, they all ran, leaving his wife on the ground unconscious and naked below the waist. Wil- liams testified Jackson said he was trying to wake up his wife and get her home. Williams went on to say that (Continued on Page 8) confidence in America's capitalism. "Our nation was raised from an unorganized group of revolutionaries into the strongest and best nation in the world. It has been our eagerness to work and build which has made this nation the envy ,of the world", Shircliff said. The Rotary executive said the United States is :fast approaching a time when the very young do not appreciate what free enterprise has made possible. He declared that the "filth" of profit has made possible the good life here in America and the capability to send foreign aid abroad. Star photo Flood Insurance Available Otis Davis, Jr., chair- man of the Board of County Commissioners informed The Star this week that the U. S. De- partment of Housing and Urban Development an- nounced that effective August 7, 1975, Gulf Coun- ty has been accepted into the National Flood Insur- ance program. Davis said the Commis- sion and its attorney, William J. Rish, have been working towards the approval of the flood in- surance program for the past seven months. The last obstacle standing in the way of approval was the adoption of the South- ern Standard Building Code by the County, which was accomplished on February 11, 1975. This means, said Acting Federal Insurance Ad- ministrator, J. Robert Hunter, that individual property owners here are now eligible to buy flood insurance protection at affordable federally-sub- sidized rates, offering more extensive coverage under the expanded pro- gram authorized by the 1975 Flood Disaster Pro- tection Act.

Mffdly declared that the re- .fuees would become a drag on the local economy and tax bill for those who have been paying taxes in years past should have been reduced slightly or at least remained stable. In our situa- tion, we have seen the taxes paid by veteran tax payers increase drama- tically, even though the taxing agencies are levying virtually no more than they did (in dollars). four years ago. This sales tax thing looks pretty good on the surface. At least, everyone who is receiving govern- ment services would be paying for some of them. ft would also make more people more aware that these services are costing somebody some money. The main thing we don't like about the proposal is that the state Should be collecting it and returning "the money to the counties. The counties themselves could collect that money far more economically than the state could., We firmly believe local people should pay for local services and everyone should pay his fair share. We're just not 'overly enthusiastic over a sales tax. It's too easy to raise taxes when it's "'only a penny." of Duty prices. It costs school teachers the same for a loaf of bread as it does a millwright. It costs teachers as much for a house payment as it does' a chemist. It costs teachers as much for transportation as it does an accountant. We think our aptness to vilify the teachers for asking for what every- one else has should take a quick about face and we should congratu- late our teachers, face to face, for their sacrifice. Like as not, those who are not teaching school will not let their contract negotiations pass by this year without asking for more pay. We're not willing to do what they are doing, since few of us would volunteer to teach school and even fewer will willingly forego a pay increase. WE WISH TO HONOR THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO COMPOSE THE LABOR FORCE OF AMERICA... The United States is a land of unlimited opportunities for people from every ethnic background. It is these hard-working individ- uals who have built this country into a great nation. We salute the working force of America, past and present; the people who have made equal employment opportunities for everyone a reality. Suitcases - Cardboard and Fancy by CHARLIE WEBB During pioneer days suit- cases were a way of life. Most everyone had a suitcase or could borrow one. The afflu- ence of some people was shown by their beautiful leather suit- cases with brightly polished brass trim. Some families would leave their suitcases on a table in the hallway of the home, under a carbide or kero- sene lamp for convenience in showing to friends and visitors the beautiful silk compar- ments of the suitcase's inter- ior. Then there was the cheap cardboard constructed suit- case, used mostly by us pea- '< sants. This was all right since we did not have a chance to make long and highfalutin' journeys with our suitcases anyway. About the only trips we ever made were what you could call short overnight ar- rangements. A young newspaper adver- tising executive, realizing the fun in the routine of packing and unpacking suitcases dur- ing this time, figured if he could combine humor with the suitcase, he would have a good advertising idea. He came up with an idea for a company that manufactured ventriloguist gadgets. His for- Library Announces New Winter Bookmobile Hour The Northwest Regional Library System has annou- nced its winter bookmobile schedule. In Gulf County bookmobile stops are scheduled for every other Tuesday, beginning Sep- tember 2. The schedule is as follows: Overstreet (Hardy's Gro- cery), 11:45 12:00 EDT; St. Joe Beach (Beach Grocery), 12:10- 12:40 EDT; Indian Pass (McNeill's Grocery), 1:30 - 2:00 EDT; Gulf County Jail (Highway 71), 3:00 4:00 EDT; Howard Creek (Hwy. 387), 3:00 4:00 EDT; and White City (Stafford's Gro- cery, Hwy. 71). 4:25 5:00 EDT. mat was the picture of a man carrying a suitcase with a voice trailing out from the suitcase saying, "Hey, let me out of here." The advertising copy was a success and thousands of boys, including myself, sent for one of the ventriloquist marvels, thinking it would be fun to throw our voices into some of the many suitcases seen each day. The interesting and beauti- ful advertisement layout could be one of the newspaper's great features from the stand- point of many readers. Per- haps our attraction to the beauty and wonder of news- paper advertisements of today is because today might be the most beautiful and wonderful day of our life. Gunter Attends Conference James A. Gunter of Port St. Joe, was a participant in the annual American Driver and Traffic Safety Education As- sociation (ADTSEA) confer- ence held at Central Missouri State University, Warrens- burg, Missouri, August 18-21. The conference, which im- mediately followed the first national conference of the College and University Safety Educators Association (CUSEA) conference at CMSU August 16-17, investi- gated a variety of topics in- cluding the critical issue of driver education vehicle pro- curement, dealer participa- tion at the local level, the state of the Association, and over 35 other areas of traffic and driver safety education. General host chairman for the conference was N. W. Pat- terson, Missouri Safety Cen- ter. Dr. Robert A. Ulrich, Head of the Department of Safety and Associate Profes- sor of Safety at CMSU, serves as ADTSEA president. Speakers for the conference included Jack Neal, Director of Public Relations, National Automobile Dealer's Associa- tion, Washington, D. C.; Ted Lenger, President, Lenger Chevrolet-Cadillac, Inc., War- rensburg, Missouri, would be here for years to come. Many predicted that the idea of attaining sponsors for each refugee family would be a disaster, that only a few Americans would be willing to make such a commitment. The problems which pro- voked the criticism, unavoid- able in an operation so huge and so hastily put together, were ironed'out during the succeeding weeks. As officials worked out a system, they began to function efficiently in accomplishing their dual goals; providing the best care possible for the refugees during their stay at the center, and making that stay as short as possible by facilitating sponsorships. The cynics who said the sponsorship program would break down because of lack of interest have been proven wrong.' Almost 7,000 of the 10,075 refugees sent to Eglin have been relocated through the program. The remaining 3,089 in the center are mostly fishermen and laborers with large fami- lies, and will obviously pose the most difficult problem for workers in charge of finding sponsors. But that is not to say sponsors won't be found; new, aggressive efforts are being made to gain group sponsor- ships for the remaining fami- lies. Those who still lack spon- sors in September will be moved to another refugee center, and Eglin's tent city will be permanently closed. There hasn't been much news from the center in the past recent weeks, and that's because it's running smoothly. In fact, in spite of all the doubts raised when the re- fugees first began to arrive, the entire program has been a success. It's a fact which won't get the widespread attention a failure of the program would have achieved. That, perhaps, will be the only reward for those who have worked diligently to make the transition smooth- the golden silence of critical stories which were never writ- ten or broadcast. It isn't much acknowledgement for a job well done.-The Pensacola Journal. For Ambulance Call 227-2311 2 AGE:TWO I think what Governor Shircliff was trying to tell us was that this nation started as much on the bottom as possibly Angola is today. It's hard to imagine there is anyone who is aware of his surroundings today who would argue with the fact that it has been our productivity, our desire for something better, our ambition to get ahead, our ability to produce which has built us a nation which is the envy of the world. This very envy is what makes our nation the target of every other "ism" in the world. There can be no world movement of any sort with the example of what free men can do for themselves staring the world in the face. That's why we are so vulnerable. )f Criticism Small Reward '- 1. I - THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY, AUGUST 28, 1975 f) Etaoin S Shrdlu ^^'' By: WESLEY R. RAMSEY Is Senator Richard Stone getting his way in the government? A week or two ago, the junior Senator from Florida advocated in a speech here in his state and ours that the United States should be trading its grain for oil. "If they want to eat, they should pay for the orivilege by selling us oil at the bargain prices they want to pay us for our wheat", stone was telling all who/would listen. Now, I see in the papers where the government is considering just such a move with Soviet Russia, who is now credited with having the largest oil reserves in the world. I can't believe all of our trouble with high prices is because some two-bit head of a miniscule country is socking it to us on the price of oil. It isn't natural in a time when things aren't being sold as fast as they can be manufactured, for prices to be climbing. One has only to look at the highways, though, to see that the high price of gasoline hasn't taken too many cars off the road. But, back to Senator Stone: I don't think the urge to ride is quite so strong as the urge to eat. If our nation can maintain its ability to grow food, we still sit in the drivers' seat as I see it. How about that guy who wanted to go across the Atlantic in a balloon bad enough to hang on to a tie-down rope when the craft took off? Some kook by the name of G. Hadden Wood held on to a tie-down rope when Bob Sparks took off for Europe the other night. He said he intended to hold on and board the craft, he wanted to go along for the ride. My stomach begins to turn flip-flops when I look out a second story window. There's no way I could psyche myself up to where I wanted to go to Europe bad enough to hold on to a rope dangling from a balloon. Both men ended up in the drink after a day of flying. I'm glad to see our country is getting the drop on somebody. For years, we have been horrified with stories, movies, novels, scientific conjecture and fruits of an over-active imagina- tion that the Martians were coming to earth and on arrival would proceed to gobble everyone alive, burn down the cities, plant unknown exotic diseases and release their hordes of monsters against us poor defenseless earthlings. Thie word "Mars" has come to be syno- nymous with such words of horror as, castor oil, the James gang, psoriasis, the old one-two and athletes foot. These were tortures and plagues from which mankind is afforded no relief. Most science fiction dwelt with the "invasion from Mars" from which there was no defense. The United States which for years has assumed the creed of the boys in the white hats-they hit back only after they have been hit-and refused to strike the first blow. We've gone through several wars here on earth with mere earth mortals, fighting back from a stunning first blow in several cases. Now, we're going to invade Mars before Martians invade us. The first space ship is now on the way to Mars and is expected to land on the planet about the date of our nations birth, on the Bicentennial anniversary. The space ship is supposed to take samples on the planet and radio back informa- tion which will tell whether or not life could exist on Mars. Then again, maybe the United States isn't striking the first blow this time, either. We may be just looking for a new place to send foreign aid. Rotary District Governor Bob Shircliff of Jacksonville visited the Port St. Joe Rotary Club last Thursday and gave the local club a few thoughts to chew on. Governor Shircliff didn't have the usual dry prattle most District Governors have. He stimulated rather than stultified his audience with his observations. One I particularly took notice of was his comments on free enterprise and how it had built this nation. Shircliff began his few remarks on the subject by noting, "This nation has come in a period of 200 years from a rag-tag bunch of revolutionaries to the strongest, best nation in the world". Had you ever thought of America as "A bunch of rag-tag revolutionaries?"

It contained the usual beautiful little prayers for children, and they were all well done-striking illus- trations, and in general good taste throughout the book. There was one prayer in this book, however, that was outstanding! It was il- lustrated with the picture of a little boy lying on the grass with his puppy dog beside him. The puppy had one of his forepaws ban- daged, and here is the prayer: "My pet does not feel well today, God. He does- n't want to play with me. Please help me to take care of him ..." A child's prayer? Yes, but isn't that the true prayer that all people should pray? "Help me to care ..." Here we find no selfishness-just a petition for guidance in service.

They're ready when they turn an ash-grey color: An adjustable grill will help you control the heat for just the right intensity. Prevent sticking by brushing the grill with a little vegetable oil mixed with a season- ing of your choice. Steaks are excellent for grilling when cut :V4 to.1 inch thick or more. Round, chuck, and flank steaks should be tenderized before grilling for best results. Chickens halved or quartered are excellent on the grill. Baste them with a little lemon butter to keep them moist and tender while cooking. Seafood is delicious charcoal-grilled. Baste often to keep moist.

Representing Gulf County was Clerk George Y. Core, Commissioners Otis Davis, Jr., and Everett Owens and Civil Defense Director Rich- ard Lancaster. Representing the City of Port St. Joe was Clerk Charles Brock. The county presented a request for aid in repairing 17 road wash-outs throughout the county. Included in the dam- ages were several bridge wash-outs and severe road damages. Road Superinten- dent Lloyd Whitfield told the Board Tuesday night there are several county roads which are still impassable due to the .rain damages. Clerk Brock applied for aid in repairing and enlarging a drainage program which runs -through Forest Park. The drain goes underground in two .40-inch pipes in the park and was not large enough to carry off the rain water. The City plans to place still another 40-inch pipe in the area and make extensive repairs to the headwalls. The meeting was to imple- ment the announcement last Thursday that federal funds- were being made available for this purpose. / safeguards against CANCER elf-Exam )nce a Year >ke Cigarettes ess Sun nually Especially gularly whelps and bruises over her body.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 28, 1975 PAC Conducts Workshop for PSJ School Staffs The Panhandle Alcoholism Council gave a workshop for the teachers of Port St. Joe Junior-Senior High School on August 21, from 10:00 to 12 poon. The members df the Panhandle Alcoholism Coun- cil in attendance were: Dr. William Finlaw, Director of the Council; Sharrbn Mc- Kay, Director of Treatment FOr Ambulance Call 227-2311 Services; Karen Baruch, Dir- ector of Community Services; SRoger Mahoney, Occupational Consultant; Chuck Barfield, Alcoholism Specialist; and Roy Smith, Educational Con- sultant. The workshop began with an activity to discover attitudes about some words relating to alcohol and alcoholism. This was followed by a speech pre- sented by Karen Baruch on "Alcoholism as a Disease": Ms. Baruch stated that alco- holism is an illness with very recognizable symptoms and is a treatable disease. The youth of today are confronted with the question, "To drink or not to drink?". They must have the opportunity to be able to make a rational, intel- ligent and personal decision on their own use or non-use of alcohol. The last hour of the work- shop was devoted to small group activities where Ehe theme was, "Dealing crea- tively with alcohol-related problems in my classroom". The teachers had the oppor- tunity to discuss some pro- blems they have run into in their- classrooms. Some sug- gestions were made as how to deal with their problems. It is the hope of the Panhandle Al- coholism Council that they can begin to work even more closely with Port St. Joe Junipr-Senior High School in the future.

However, an accident can quickly turn recreation time into recuperation time. If you heed safety rules and use proper equipment, you can avoid a case of the summer- time blues. Personal flotation devices (PFD's), which include vests, jackets, ring buoys, and cush- ions, are an essential part of marine safety. Underwriters Laboratories Inc. reminds you that no one can recuperate from drowning, and urges you to use PFD's for your protec- tion in the marine environ- ment. UL offers the following information for your consid- eration when purchasing a PFD. An important thing to con- sider is whether the UL label appears on the device. UL List- ed, Coast Guard approved PFD's have been subjected to the tests of UL Standard 1123 or 1175, and the U.S. Coast Guard safety regulations. The UL label assures you that the design and construction of the device has been tested with re- gard to buoyancy, strength, fire resistance, and other relevant factors. There are various types of personal flotation devices. You should purchase the type that best suits your needs. Type II devices are designed to turn an unconscious wearer from a face-down to a face-up posi- tion in the water. Type III de- vices, such as jackets and vests, are especially designed for comfort, and should allow a conscious person to maintain a position either on their back, or near vertical in the water. Type IV devices (buoyant cushions and ring life buoys) may be thrown into the water to assist a person who has fall- en overboard. You should never wear a buoyant cushion on your back, like a pack-it might turn your face under- water. , meets in the Fine Arts Build- ing Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons from 1:00 - 1:50. "We are particularly excited by the focus the Bi- centennial celebrations have given our musical program planning this year," Melder said, "and we hope the entire community will join with us in rekindling the foundifig spirit by, either, participating in, or attending, our community concerts." Buoyant Vest Ring Life Buoy The size requirement of a PFD is dependent upon wheth- er the person using the device is a child or an adult. Chil- dren's vests (pictured) come in two weight categories: (1) for persons weighing un der 50 pounds, and (2) for persons weighing 50 to 90 pounds. Spe- cial purpose buoyant devices (pictured) now come in three sizes for children: under 30 pounds; between 30 an d 50 pounds; and between 50 and 90 pounds. A child should be provided with a size that will fit snugly enough to pre- vent him or her from slipping out. An adult should never try to get by with a child's device. Also, the type of clothing that is to be worn under the device should be considered in choos- ing the correct size. * Remember that no personal flotation device is a substitute for adult supervision. * UL engineers recommend that you make sure your PFD's Buoyant Cushion Special Purpose* are thoroughly dry and that you store them in a well-venti- lated area. Never store the de- vices near heat, in direct sun- light, in the bottom of.a locker, or in deck storage boxes where moisture could accumulate. Avoid abusing the equipment., For example: don't use your PFD as a boat bumper. If the device has been immersed in salt water, wash the metal parts in fresh water before drying and storing. If the de- vice shows-evidence of being rotten or defective, cut it up and bumrn it to, be sure no one will use it. Underwriters Laboratories reminds you that safety is not a halfway proposition. Statis- tically, the greatest number of drownings has taken place among good swimmers. Wear your personal flotation device whenever you are in or near the water. WEAR IT, DON'T STOW IT!!!

Joe truly have a heart when it comes to helping the handi- capped., * During the past six months, they have contributed 1,433 bags of donations via the bright yellow Goodwill deposit boxes that stand in the park- ing lots of so many shopping centers and markets. Each and every bag of donations means an hour's work, an hour's pay to one of the 800 handicapped or disad- vantaged workers at Good- will. It enables those workers to earn a livelihood, and gives them an opportunity to be- come productive citizens, in- stead of a burden to society. Goodwill trucks pick up the donations at the deposit boxes and transport them to the Goodwill rehabilitation cen-, ter. There the materials are - sorted-, cleaned, repaired 6r- renovated as necessary for sale in Goodwill thrift stores. The workers are paid for per- forming the tasks. Thus, your generous donations become the means of livelihood for many who are handicapped, disabled, or disadvantaged.
