NO BINGO There will be no bingo games at the St. Joseph Bay County Club until after *Christmas, it was announced this week. The games will resume after the holidays. State Withholding Funds From County for Indigent Payments Clerk George Y. Core told the County Commission. Tuesday the State of Florida has started withholding funds from the County in order to extract payment of $18,000 the. State has billed the otiunty for indigent patients in rest homes over the State. , .The County has refused to pay the monthly amounts over the past two or three years because they didn't authorize the expenditures,, didn't sign up for such a program and have no au- thority to approve or disap- prove patients receiving the Medicare. benefits. The Coun- ty has entered suit against the State in order to prevent the collection, but apparently the State is ignoring the suit.' The County received a new billing Tuesday for $275.12 due the program for the month of November, which was also,' refused by the County Board. Clerk Core said the State' wanted to withhold' the' money from the County's race track payments, but since the first $240,000 of this money went to the School Board they have resorted to withholding other money due the County. Commission Inspects Mural' County Commissioners took a break in their meeting Tuesday to' look over a mural which had been painted on the wall of the office of' Superintendent of Schools David Bidwefl. The mural, showing attractions and colorful names of locations in Gulf County, Core said the County has received no revenue sharing funds from the State for the past two months. He said, "I know this is the reason, because usually you can set your calendar by the receipt of the State check." The State has not notified the County this is what 'they are doing. The Board is merely drawing the .conclu- sion since they have not received the due funds. TAX ADJUSTMENTS Tax Assessor Samuel A. Patrick, presented a list of about 50 tax adjustments to the Board for approval was painted by art students in Gulf County high schools. In the photo above, Clerk George Y. Core, Ed Bandjough, editor, of the Gulf County Breeze, art instructor, Mrs. Lila Brouilette and Commissioners Walter Graham and Eldridge Money inspect the mural. December 20 Deadline For Judge Applications Attorney Julian Bennett Panama City, chairman of the Judicial Committee tak- ing and processing applica- tions for the position of Gulf County Judge announced this week that a deadline has been set for receiving appli- cations for the post. Bennett said anyone desir- ing to file an application should have it in his office by December 20. "We plan to convene the selection com- mittee in Gulf County for personal interviews with all applicants", Bennett said, Write Santa Today Next week will be the Christmas edition of The Star. As usual, we will. print all letters to Santa Claus received in our office by Monday of next week. All letters will be printed if they are received in time to be set up in type for the next issue. The Star has received good response from this feature in the past and good cooperation in receiving the letters in plenty of time. The more letters we receive the better. So, get busy kids, right now, and get your letter in to Santa Claus. "and plan to make our selections to the Governor by January 1". Bennett said the committee would make three sugges- tions to Governor Askew from which the final selection will be made. Bennett said four applica- tions have been received to date. These applications have been submitted by Dr. David C. Taunton, James B. Fen- som, Robert M. Moore and A. L. Hargraves. Applications should be sent to Bennett, P. 0. Box '70, Panama City, Florida. Jaycees Host Children The Port St. Joe Jaycees were hosts to a Christmas party for underprivileged chil- dren in Gulf County following the Christmas Parade Saturday morning. The party was Tuesday, but the Board refused to grant the adjust- ments until the amount was stipulated on the request and the reasons given for the request for adjustment. Commissioner Walter Gra- ham pointed out the time for granting adjustments had passed and no adjustments could legally be made unless they were errors on the part of the Assessor. He also pointed out the Board needs to know how much money' is being removed so their spending can be adjusted accordingly. It was explained to the Board by Patrick's secretary, Mrs. Joyce Lister, who presented the list that Pat- rick's office was given the list by the State Department of Revenue and was a list .of double assessments, failure to grant homestead exemp- tion and errors. She said the. Revenue Office didn't 'spell out the amount of taxes involved ant she would have to go to the Tax Assessors records to get the amount. The Board asked that she do so before they would grant the requested changes. AIR CONDITIONING Heating and air condition- ing took up a large portion of Tuesday's meeting. The Board is in the process of purchasing new heating and air conditioning systems for both County Health Depart- ment buildings and they are having problems with the system in the Courthouse. The Health Department has offered to buy"its systems, but need the County to make the purchase since they are going into County buildings& After considerable discussion on what type system to install, the Board finally agreed to go with electric air conditioning and gas heating in a split system for both buildings.' Wes Thompson, Florida Power Corp., manager, of- fered to have the buildings sized by the firm's engineers and recommendations made from which bids could be received. The Board took Thompson up on his offer with the understanding the work would be done within a week so bid forms could be worked up as soon as possible. At the Courthouse, the Board is plagued with an, excessive use of gas in the system there. The amount of gas used has more than doubled in the past three months and no one knows (Continued on Page 6) held in the St. James Episcopal Parish House with 16 children present, visiting with Santa Claus.

Big Gas Users An article published in the area ' dailies over the seek end pointed - out the fact that up to four times as much gasoline, per capital, is purchased in North Florida as in the State's southern urban areas. Of course, the article was written along with the theme of needs in the current energy crisis. But, for years, the people of South Florida have coveted the major share of the gasoline taxes for their roads, since they claimed the bulk of the traffic was in their portion of the state. They're right. The bulk of the traffic is in South Florida, but the information published last week end points out graphically that the. people must buy their gasoline in North Florida in order to get to South Florida. If we don't have the gasoline to sell, or the roads Sto t ravT;el o,- piurcha 'K f wit H gasoline taxes, the people of South .. Florida will have their cash Arabs Hav The Arabs still have not relented in their .oil boycott of the United States. Nor is there any indication they plan to in the very near future., We do not seem to be getting any help, in this matter by the ( Jews, either. Relenting on the boycott depends on the Jews retreating from captured Arab linds in the Sinai desert. Last week iu his visit to the United States, AIraeli Defense Minister Moshe Biyan said, in answer to the ;: U.S.-Arab -il problem and its :. solution so far as the Arabs are concerned, "'That's your problem". 7 Dayan intimated it was the U.S.' decision on whether or not to push for the Israeli withdrawal.

' 14 It's now semi-official. The speed limit in the State of Florida has been set at 55 miles per hour to conserve energy. The change is now being made on the State's highways at the order of the Governor. S State Attorney General Robert Shevin, in keeping with his habits of late, of legislating on every question to be made public, has said the Governor is on firm ground with his pronouncement. Shevin says he is within bounds to lower the speed limits. In view of a statement made by Representative William J. Rish, to me, Shevin and the Governor may be in for a rough time when the Legislators get back to Tallahassee in session. Rish said the Governor had no legal right to lower the speed limit and said a battery of lawyers told Attorney General Shevin his ruling on the matter was off base. With Shevin and the Governor usurping the power of the Legislators right and left of late, the next session, called or regular, should be one of clearing the air as to just who can do what. Also, I feel the Governor and Attorney General will catch some flak on this matter for another reason. Did you ever see William J. drive down the highway? He can't even walk as slow as 55 miles per hour, so it doesn't seem natural he will sit still (another activity which he can't do) for a 55 miles per hour speed limit. William J. likes to get where he is, going since he is usually 15 minutes late for arrival when he starts. I think I will abide by the Governor's speed limit, regardless of whether or not Bill and his fellow Legislators are successful in making the Governor back down. The point of the lower speed limit is to save gas. What with gasoline costing 50 cents per gallon now, I'm ready to slow down if it will give me a little more mileage. This is not my nature, however. I, too, am ready to be where I am going when' I get started...

Bible Truths A $1,000 reward is offered for anyone that-can find the scriptures where anyone was ever baptized in the titles of the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost. Before you look I can give you the answer, it is not in the Bible. With this amazing statement I chal- lenge, you to search your soul and the Bible for the truth. The truth is that every time there was a Baptismal service they were baptized in the name of Jesus. Acts 2:38 Acts 8:16, Acts 10:48, Acts 19:5. Some people would say that either way is alright, but I challenge this. In Acts the 19th chapter, Paul came upon those that had been baptized by John, and told them that they would have to be baptized again, and they were, in the name of Jesus. Some people would even have the gall to say, whose words should we believe. The words of Jesus in Matt. 28:19 or the words of Peter in Acts 2:38. This is an absurd statement. The Bible does not contradict itself. It does seem to contradict with something we believe then our interpre- tation must be wrong. The disciples of Jesus interpreted Matt. 28:19 to be in the name of Jesus. Also Jesus told Peter that he would give him the keys to the kingdom of Heaven, and the gates of hell would not prevail against it. Acts 16:18-19. Peter used the key' to unlock the door to full Bible salvation three times. The first time was in Acts 2:38 to the Jews. The second time was in Acts 8:16 to"the Samaritans. The third time was to the Gentiles in Acts 10:48. This is to let us know that it is for the whole world. If you have never been baptized in the name of Jesus I would admonish you to do so quickly. For the Bible says in Acts 4:12 "Neither is there salvation in any other: For there is none other name under heaven given among men. whereby we must be saved." If you would like to be baptized in the name of Jesus, or would like for someone to talk to you about it, please call 229-2482 or write Bible Truths, P.O. Box X. Port St. Joe, Fla.

City Sets Largest Budget Port St. Joe has probably the largest municipal budget of any city its size in Florida, City Clerk Charles Brock told the Rotary Club last Thurs- day. "Of course, our budget is made large by the Wastewater Ttreatment plant operation", he said. Brock outlined the city's $2,230,690 budget for the coming year to the Rotarians explaining that $654,364 is set aside for the General Fund, $260,230 for the Water and Sewer Department and $1,- 316,098 for the Wastewater. Treatment plant. Brock said the City receiv- ed a break this year in its finances by having the Water Treatment plant paid off. "This gave us an extra $20,000 to operate Qn." In addition, the City has raised water, sewer and garbage rates to the point where these services will be self support- ing and will not need- cash contributions from the Gen- eral Fund to .operate. I "Income is up $164,000", Brock said, "but expenses are up- also." What Brock' meant was that expected expenses are up. This year the City has included $119,000 in the budget for contribu- tions to the Municipal Hospi- tal. "We didn't have anything budgeted for this purpose last year and it got us in trouble''" Brock said. He pointed out the Hospital is doing better now, and this contribution item may not be needed. Other expense increases are in salaries and additional personnel. " Brock pointed out a need for increasing the size of the water treatment plant. "We doubled the capacity of the plant five years ago and are now operating at capacity. "Now, we must increase its size again", Brock said. The City plans to- spend $70,801 in water and sewer improvements during the coming year, which will mostly be taken up by rebuilding two sewer lift stations. Other capital outlay items include a new police car and a new garbage truck in the coming year. The City Clerk pointed out the City has the cash for these purchases which have been put away in a depreciation account. In the expense of operating the Wastewater Treatment plant, Brock said it is estimated this operation will cost the City $26,049 for its share, Sylvachem Corpora- tion $22,071 and St. Joe Paper Company $1,267,978.

Roche Rambles By W. C. Roche Maybe we were better off when politicians tried to make history, rather than the 11 o'clock news. If it's such a small world, why does it cost so much to run it? Middle age: when you can do just as much as ever but would rather not. You don't hear about someone eating humble pie anymore-maybe because it doesn't come frozen.

Since the Board had already issued a purchase order for and received the machine, they decided to give the striper a try and see if it would do the job before making payment. If they decide to keep it, they felt a letter of apology was due the other bidder for their con- fusion in the matter. The machine received cost $8,832.71 and the other bidder 'had a price of $11,000 on his striper. DRAIN WORK Commissioner Eldridge .Money asked Mosquito Con- trol Supervisor Emmett Dan- iell when to expect work completion on the George Washington Branch drain project, which carries off surface water from' the entire East side of Port St. Joe. Money said he, and those living in the area affected felt the work should be progres- sing now while the weather is dry and the water table low. Daniell said he is right in the middle of garbage land fill 'work now and this took precedent over ditch digging. "Even so", Daniell said, "if we could start digging right now it would mean some time before the ditch could be finished since our easement calls for work to begin at the other end and work toward the City of Port St. Joe. We dig about seven miles of ditch a year and this ditch is four miles long. Since we have other ditch work we must do also and a limited number of draglines to work with, it will probably be at least three years before the project is completely fin- ished." SDaniell went on to say the construction time could be cut some if the County could make a dragline available to help, but he recognized the County also had other work it must do in addition to the. ditch in question. "Be assured we are digging the ditch just as fast as we can and still keep up with our other necessary work", Daniell said.

Simmons .I Troop Exercise GERMANY Army Spec. Four William B. Simmons III, son of Mr. and Mrs. Williams B. Simmons, 1023 McClellan Ave., Port St. Joe, participated with other American and Allied troops in Exercise Ref0oger V in Germany, Oct. 10-16. The military airlift com- mand flew approximately 11,000 U.S.-based soldiers and more than 1,000 tons of equipment to three different airfields in Germany in preparation for the event. Immediately after arriving overseas, the redeployed units drew combat gear and vehicles from propositioned storage sites in Germany and moved to the exercise area to begin the seven-day field maneuver. Pitted against the airlifted forces were Europe-based elements of NATO forces of the U.S., Germany and Canada. The exercise, conducted by the joint chiefs of staff and NATO, focused on the proce- dures and techniques for receiving, equipping, assem- bling and employing units after they arrive, rather than on rapid deployment of troops from the U.S. Spec. Simmons is regularly assigned as a maintenance specialist in Battery B, 2nd Battalion, 33rd Field Artillery of the 1st Infantry Division in Germany. SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE STAR!

THE STAR Telephone 227-3161 TALLAHASSEE The statewide season for hunting ducks and coots closed at sundown, Sunday, December 9 for a ten day period. "'he season will reopen one-half hour before sunrise on Thursday, December 20 and remain open through January 20. The gap in the duck season allowed sportsmen to start the annual waterfowl season on Thanksgiving Day, the traditional opening of the season in Florida, yet permit hunters to enjoy the final shooting period which gen- erally coincides with a late influx of ducks into Florida. According to the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commis- sion,'the ten day waterfowl hunting break will fall during the full moon period which generally is not considered the best time for hunting wild fowl. The break provides a maximum number of hunting days during the best hunting periods. Sportsmen are also remind- ed that the -third and final phase of the season for hunting mourning dove will open at 12:00 noon on Satur- day, December 15 and continue with afternoon hunt- ing through January 7.
