PAOIE TWOO


I hate to keep harping on the subject, but it's
a traumatic thing when a young man such as my-
self has to take up reading glasses and gets pre-
sented with two grandsons all in the same month.
It's 'really ignore than a body should be ex-
pected to bear.
Earlier this month, Alford and Laura pre-
sented us with a grandson. Laura had to go to
the hospital one morning with "terrible gas pains"
which she had suffered from during the night.
An hourly later, she had a baby boy in her arms
and the "gas pains" were gone.
Early Friday morning, Willie and Shirley had
another grandson, making our grand total five
grandsons and' zero'granddaughters.
Shirley is the one who sets most of the type
for your newspaper on our computer typesetter
so we told her, she would have to have the baby
on Thursday and be ready to set type again on
Monday if she was to consider herself a true-
blue 'newspaper woman.
Shirley did her best. She waited for a holi-
day to come along Labor Day so she would
have an exta day in which to have her baby.
Something tells me she won't back to work-
Tuesday.
Regardess, though, the paper must go out
come floodt snow, hail, babies being born or no
newsprint. "

No do bt you have read of the newsprint
shortage aidk seen it on TV. Let me tell you now,
this shortage is real.
We're lucky, in a way, here at The Star. We
purchased a, truck-load of newsprint just last
month before the shortage got real critical and.
now have enough paper to print The Star on
until about March or April of next year.. If the
shortage isnt a little easier then, we just might
have to fall aack and punt.
We're lucky because we had the new Bay
County Tim% wanting us to print their twice a
week paper and we printed the first issue. A
search for tie paper to continue printing the pa-
per revealec not a single roll, so we had to tell
them to go somewhere else or we couldn't even
print The Sar in about three months.

I I Rambles
,By W. C. Roche


Best way to keep children aware of the value of
money is to borrow some from'them.

You open a window to let in fresh air. When the other
guy does it, he lets in a draft.

Ever notice how the same kids who are eating you
out of house and home are never there?

Wife at breakfast table to grumpy husband: "Look
on the bright side. In 16 hours, you'll be back in bed."

It's OK to be temperamental, but :sometimes it's
hard to tell where the temper ends, and the mental
begins.

Bidwell

Spells Out

Changes

Gulf County Superintendent
of Schools David Bidwell told
'the Rotary Club last Thurs-
day there are many changes
in the operation of the schools.
beginning with the current,
term.
State money is received 'on
the basis;'of enrollment now.
as opposed to the old method
of average daily attendance.
"Formerly, when a child was
absent due to illness or other
causes, it, cost us $3.00 per
day per child in state funds",
tne- -speaker said. "Now,
we get funds on the basis, of
enrollment, but we must drop
a child& f164t6i'e rolls aftersh eo
has been absent for six days
in succession."
Another 'change is the
duration-of the school day.
Students must be in school
for a -minimum of 300
minutes of classroom time
per day. "'This causes some
to get out earlier than in the
past and some to stay at,
school longer," Bidwell said.
Another, change is the
organizational structure on
the principal level. Bidwell
said duties have been .divided
up on the administrative
level, with County Supervisor
William Linton Director of
Instruction and Mrs. Laura
Geddie Director of Adminis-
tration. Locally, Ken Her-
ring, last year's high school
principal, is the Supervisor of
Principals and has as his
Duties seeing that all instruc-
tion is done on a professional
and effective manner. Under
him is Howard Blick, Princi-,
pal of Highland View Ele-
mentary School; Harry Her-
rington. Principal of Port St.
Joe Elementary School with
Allen Scott as his assistant;
Edwin Williams, Principal of
Port St. Joe High School with
Temple Watson as assistant.
"The school system is
.beginning a program of
preparing students to earn a
living when they leave the
classroom, Bidwell said, with
more emphasis being put on
'learning to read and spell as
well as provide a solid base
of mathematics. "We want to
get our elementary school
accredited also," the Superin-

preference in reading and
spelling methods, but no
more," Bidwell said. "The
school will set.ip a program
to be followed which we
believe will benmore effective
in teaching children the
basics in reading, writing and
mathematics'"`;he said.
In pointing out several
areas of concern, Bidwell told
the Rotarians, it, was costing
Gulf County .6354 per mile to
transport kids in the County.
"This is too much," Bidwell
said, "and we're going to find
out why we are :spending so
much." He also pointed to the
fact that 42 percent of the
students eating the cafeterias
in the county were receiving
free lunches which is causing
financial difficulties in this
area. Bidwell said he and the
Board is ashamed of the
appearance of the Port St.
Joe High School campus and
they are starting a program
this year of beautifying the
area.
Guest of the' Club was Dr.
Richard Morley of Panama

motorists to "help Florida's
school children complete
their education" by protect-
ing them from traffic acci-
dents as they return to
classes when schools open
throughout the state.
Colonel Eldrige Beach,
Patrol director said, "Dri-

for the .increase of pedestri-

Patrol accident records,

pedestrians between the ages
of 5-19 killed on Florida's

buses and for busy areas
surrounding schools. Many
children will be' attending
school for the first time and
may not always remember
the safety rules so drivers

2nd in a series


Glad you could join once
again for this week's series. Re-
member back when you were
responsible for your first car? If
you do, you'll recall that your
first concern might well have
been the legal requirements.
That is, the registration cer-
tificate, license plates, and
possible inspection for all safety
equipment. With boats it is very
nearly the same thing. Your
first concern should be the legal
requirements, for they are both
federal and state requirements
that must be met before you can
legally operate your boat. The
state requirements will vary
from state to state and we will
attempt to cover both state and
federal requirements. for
Florida.
Many of the things that we
must do, the types, and the
amount of equipment we must
carry on our boats are deter-
mined by one simple factor, the
class of our boat. The class is


request permission from St.
Joe Paper Company to
remove grass from the fresh
water canal as the grass
breeds dog flys. The Attorney
agreed, to seek permission
from St. Joe Paper Company.


determined by the overall
length. The length is deter-,
mined by measuring from the
extended portion of the bow, to
the stern. The motor is not in-
cluded in the measurements. If
a boat is less than 16 feet it is
said to be a class A boat. If the
overall length of a boat is
between 16 feet but less than 26
feet, it is a class 1-boat, on sail
boats, the bowsprit and the at-
tachment on the stern is not
included in the overall
measurements. If the overall
measurement of a boat is from
26 feet, but less than 40 feet it is
a class 2-boat. If the overall
length of a boat is from 40 feet to
65 feet, it is a class 3-boat. It is
suggested that you remember
the different class boats and
their lengths, for as this series
continues it will be very helpful,
as each requirement is differ-
ent for each class boat.

This handsome Italian Provincial adds a special look of

The distressed, grained pecan finish richly enhances the
refined, stately lines of this ensemble and each piece is
impressively ornamented with delicate carved effects. All
cases feature matching, high-pressure plastic tops, dove-
tailed and center-guided drawers. This exciting value
demands a second look. See for yourself.
