Sheriff


Asks for


Budget Increase


Gulf County Sheriff Ray-
mond Lawrence ran into un-
expected opposition to a re-
quest for a budget amend-
ment at the Tuesday meeting
of the Gulf County Commis-
sion.
The Sheriff made a request
for an additional $1,081.44 for
his budget to cover insur-
ance, jackets and incidentals
for the Sheriff's Auxiliary.


Lawrence said $101.40 was
needed for insurance prem-
iums, $750.00 for jackets and
the remainder for Sheriff's
stars for the jackets in his
request. The Sheriff said sev-
ral of the Board members
agreed previously to the ex-
penditures which were not in
his budget.
Commission Walter Gra-
ham had other ideas, though,

and wisdom frorh high prices
to declining personal values.
Of increasing prices, Ruby
explained how Capitalism
works. "Forty years ago,
they added lead to gasoline
and increased the price. For-
ty years later, they removed
lead from gasoline and raised
the price agail." ,. "We'
,\n egonefrom h Tiger in the.
,;ak to a ltiikle irn.theotank;."
. .. "Food is so expensive
anyone who burps is a liar."
Of high income taxes, the
speaker quipped that tax
time was here. "Taxes -
that's important to the Gov-
ernment of the United States.
It pays the expenses. It's also
important to Europe. Our
taxes, paid.by the everyday
fellow goes to pay their ex-
penses. too."
The little round man from
the French Quarter also
wondered about our values in
the United States, observing,
"We work like the devil to
increase our stockpile of
atom bombs while we are
frantically trying to make
firecrackers illegal. We
advocate free love and pay
toilets all at the same time."
Program Chairman, Fred
Witten introduced the speak-
er, in jest, as 'the "most
important man to come to
Port St. joe since T. H.
Stone."
(;GOOD1) YEAR
Outgoing Chambeir Presi-
dent. Floye Brewton reported
the Chamber had a good year
and called for continued sup-
port during the coming 12
months.
"You've made a good in-
vestment" Brewton said. in
referring to the Chamber's
activities with the small bud-
get it had to operate on.
Brewton said the Chamber
was active with large indus-
try seeking a location in. 1973
and was currently dealing
with several oil firms to
locate their off-shore drilling


headquarters here. "There is
keen competition for this type
of new citizen", he said, "But
your Chamber is working
.diligently to bring in new jobs
and new people who will be
an asset to the community."
The President reported the
Chamber office had been ex-
\trernely busy this past year
answering inquiries, sending
-out literature and "doing the
thousand and one things
which need doing. There was
no other organization to do
these things, but the Cham-
ber". Brewton reported the
Chamber would have an or-
ganization operating in a
short while which would try
to reconcile complaints of
purchasers toward sellers.
"We have the groundwork
laid. We -are in the process
now of appointing a commit-
tee to arbitrate complaints."
President Brewton offered
his thanks and praise to
Chamber secretary Janie
Zimmerman for her work in
the Chamber office during
the past year.

Man Killed on Shrimp Boat


Gulf County Sheriff Ray-
mond Lawrence reports that
at approximately 8:45 p.m.
EDT, Sunday, Feb. 24, his
office received a call that
there had been a serious
accident aboard The Selma
Kay, a shrimp boat.
Subsequent investigations
revealed that Gene Watson,
a deck hand, 18, of White City
was fatally injured when his
clothing was pulled into a
winch he was operating on
the stern of the boat. His
partner, Kenneth Hicks,
managed to throw the winch
out, of gear, thus, releasing
the victim from cables that


held him.
Another local shrimper was
called upon to carry Dr. Shir-
ley Simpson to a point right
inside St. Joseph's Peninsula,
to rendezvous with The
Selma Kay, and possibly give
aid to the victim. After
boarding The Selma Kay, the
doctor pronounced the victim
dead. It was later learned
from. Dr. Simpson, that the
victim died of a broken neck
and apparent head injuries.
The shrimp troller, The
Selma Kay, is owned by the
firm, Gulf Aquatic Producers
Inc. and is captained by
Ralph Shoemaker of St. Joe


Beach.
The accident took place in
the Gulf approximately one
mile offshore, between Cape
San Bias and St. Vincent
Island at Money Bayou.
Weather conditions were
reported to be clear with
heavy seas and strong winds.


Funeral services were held
at the United Pentecostal
Church in Highland View at
2:30 p.m. yesterday, Feb. 27.
Rev. Richard Collins offici-
ated at the services. Inter-
ment followed in the family


plot of Holly Hill Cemetery of
Port St. Joe.
He is survived by his
parents. Mr. and Mrs. Curtis
Watson of White City;: five
brothers. Tommy, David and
Terry, all of White City:
Donald Watson of Eustis:
Wayne Watson, White City:
maternal grandmother, Mrs.
Mary Moody. Eustis: pater-
nal grandparents, Mr. and
Mrs. Ike Watson, Highland
View: and nephew Bryan
Watson, Eustis.
All services were under the
direction of Comforter Fun-
eral Home of Port St. Joe.


Underway


that the minimum goal for
this year's drive would be a
total of $4,000 and that the
educational goal is to give
every person an information
pamphlet on "Cancer's Warn-
ing Signals", whether or not
a contribution is made.'
Mr. Versiga said that the
first phase of the campaign
would focus on advance con-
tributions from trades and
industries throughout the
area.
This year's crusade team
includes Billy Versiga.
Frances Chafin .Judy Whit-
aker. Jean Atchison, Polly
Sowers. Betty Sue Wright
and Larry Davis.
This group is request-
ing your help in this year's
fund-raising campaign. Men
and women are needed as
block workers' to help wipe.
out cancer in your lifetime.
Call any of the above team
members and volunteer your
services.
According to Chairman


Versiga it is the consensus of
his fellow workers, based on
last year's contributions, that
citizens in the Gulf County
area are capable of support-
ing their share of the fund to
an extent of more than $4,000,
a realistic goal.
Larry Davis is heading up
this year's business and
industrial crusade and has
set the dates of March 25-29
to solicit funds from the busi-
nessman.
The annual, over-all resi-
dential house-to-house cam-
paign will be held April 1-5.
The group who will head the
residential drive has
announced a need for volun-
teer men and women to join
in the march.

BAKE SALE
A bake sale will be held
Saturday beginning at 9:00
a.m. in front of Rich's IGA
and Smith's Pharmacy. All
proceeds from the sale will
go to the American Cancer
Society.


On Reef

A film, "How's the Water"
was shown to the Kiwanis
Club Tuesday by a group of
Kiwiaians from Chipley. The
film was based on the crea-
tion of underwater fishing
reefs and how they can be
blended into a program for
protection of the environment
and wildlife.
The reef shown in the film
was built off San Marco
Island and showed how fill
operations can be conducted
creating new land and still
maintain the environment.
The film showed how the fill
and dredge operation and
artificial reef were accom-
plished while allowing the
bird and fish population to
increase rather than disap-
pear.
Guests of the Club were
Paul LeBlanc, Howard Nae-
seth, Bob McDonald and
Gene Stewart of St. Andrew;
C. J. Porter, Cleveland So-
per, John Page and Deke
Wilder of dhipley and Key
Clubbors Joan Scheolles and
Cathey Carlster.


and said the money should
come out of the Sheriff's
Contengy fund rather than
amend his budget.
Graham pointed out "We
agreed to budget $2,500 for
the Auxiliary and we are
meeting unexpected expenses
in other areas this year."
Graham pointed specifically
to the $22,000 being extracted
by the state for hospitaliza-
tion of indigents which was
not budgeted.
Graham said he was not
opposed to the expenditures
but he was opposed to the
manner in which it was being
made. Graham was out-voted
in the matter as the Board
approved the request for a
budget amendment.
Graham also presented a
request from the White City
Fire Department to purchase
supplies for the Department
including fire hose, nozzles,
warning lights, etc. The
Board agreed to call for.bids.
Some discussion was held
by the Board concerning pur-
chase of an asphalt spreader
for the Road Department.
Department supervisor Lloyd
Whitfield said the machine
would cost approximately
$50,000.
The Board is considering
the purchase since the State
is trying to give all secondary
roads to the County for up-
keep. Before a decision is
made, the condition of the
Road Department equipment
budget will be studied by the
Commission.
County employees present-
ed a request for a cost-of-
living increase in salary. The
employees were given an in-
crease at the first of the
budget year, but claim price
increases have used up all
the increase.
The Board will study the
estimated cost of such an
increase and make a decision
at the next meeting.
The Board set a special
meeting for Thursday, March
7 to set road paving priorities
for the next five years.

Bank Gets
Approval on
New Facility
The Florida First National
Bank of Port St. Joe received
approval last week of an
application to construct a
drive-in banking facility at
the corner of Highway 98 and
First Street in Port St. Joe.
The application was ap-
proved by the Comptroller of
the Currency, provided the
facility is opened within one
year.
According to bank presi-
dent, Ted Cannon, plans are
now being prepared for the
facility and construction is
expected to get under way
within 90 days.
The drive-in facility will
.offer all services provided by
the parent bank with the
exception of loan services.

Not Very Popular


Congress seems to be disturbed
over the showing of confidence (or
lack of it) they have with the
American public.
If the Congressmen were as
astute as they purport to be about
the opinions and feelings of "the
people back home" they would
have known this without having to
depend on a poll. It would have
been no deep dark secret until it
was revealed about two weeks ago
by the pollsters.
We noted one daily newspaper
laid the discontent over the actions
of Congress to their preoccupation
with Watergate. We don't believe
this is the case.
When one considers that at this
time last year, service stations
were giving away glasses, dishes.
premiums. etc., to encourage trade
to stop at their service stations,
and today, it takes almost an act of
Congress to insure enough gasoline
to drive across the, county, it is
easy to see one of the reasons the
people are miffed at Congress.
When one considers that prices
have risen faster and higher in a
year of controlled prices than they
did under the free enterprise sys-
tem, it should take no special


genius to figure the people are
going to be displeased with Con-
gress.
When the people of the United
States had available almost every-
thing in abundance this time last
year and today cannot find even
the basics in adequate supply,
Congress can expect to draw the
suspicion of the "folks back home."
Congress does itself 'no favors
by trying to push the blame for
these things off on the President
alone. The people in this nation
have studied civics in school and
know the President cann'btdo these
things alone under our system.
. As long as Congress continues
to try and make points for them-
selves as individuals by looking for
new things to control and manipu-
late, thus creating havoc and hard-
ships in this nation which ,is, sup-
posed to have plenty, they can
expect their stock to fall faster
than on Wall Street. *
If the Congress will: stick to "
their duties of keeping this nation
strong. guaranteeing the. rights of
the people and protecting the in-
nocent rather than the guilty, they
will see their jobs protected and the
people satisfied with their work.


I was a pretty good sized
chunk at 15 and like most
boys I wanted to do some-
fhing different. I was tired of
pulling ice and delivering
groceries with a mule and
wagon or chopping snapper
heads in the fish house.
Charlie and Sedel Dykes
had an old Model T roadster
and were fixing to leave Car-
rabelle and drive to St. And-
rews to ship on a boat out of
there for a change. I hooked
up with them and told my
Daddy I wanted to go to St.
Joe and visit my cousin Jim-
mie. He gave me five dollars
and his blessing neither of
which I deserved and away
we went.
We crossed Carrabelle
River on the Long Point
ferry. Mr. Joe Brannon was
running it and had the first
kicker engine I had ever seen
fastened to the side of the
barge on a wooden bracket.
Instead of reversing it would
turn all the way around and
as the ferry was guided by a
heavy wire across the river it
worked pretty good. When we
got across Mr. Joe gave us
each a cigar and told us to
see how many counties we
could smoke it through.
We didn't take the New"
River Road as it went 'too
close to Tate's Hell and we
didn't want to risk breaking
down there where all them
bears and panther cats were
so we took the old county
road which followed the (ele-
phone line my granddaddy
and Frank Edwards ,had
strung up a few years before.
We got along fine till we got
to Robins Still and turned
north toward Sumatra. This
was low flat country and a

wamp Area


abandoned on the shoulder of,
the road.
The Sheriff requests that
anyone having knowledge of
the bomb's presence contact


the Sheriff's office. Lawrence
further states that persons
. finding such devices should
not touch them and notify the
Sheriff's Department at once.


I r-


'little rain could make that old
blue gum soil mighty slick.
When we got stuck it was my
job to pick up the wheels and
they would put chunks and
limbs under it. We passed
Buck's Siding and Coal Iron
Flats and after crossing
Tucker Creek and Whiskey
George and several more we
made it to Sumatra.
One of the Branches filled
our gas tank, fed us on fried
frog legs and sweet potatoes
and put us up for the night.
Next day we made it to
Bristol and crossed the Big
River on a ferry into Blounts-
town and headed south for
Wewahitchka.
They were fixing to build a
road from Wewa to St. Joe
and boy was it a mess-a
regular river of mud. Any-
how we tackled it and when
we got stuck the convicts
would push us out or hitch a
team of mules to us and drag
us on through. After we
crossed the floating bridge at
White City the roads were
better and we made it on into
St. Joe.
After staying with Uncle
Max a couple of days and
getting all cleaned up and fed
up. we headed for Panama
City. I remember the road
went by the Yellow Bluff
light house where the Lup-
tons lived but I can't remem-
ber how we got across East
Bay-maybe it was by ferry
from Farmdale. When we got
to St. Andrews all the
snapper boats were out
except one little ching that
had just iced up. They had
room for the Dykes boys but
not mne.
There I was a tired, broke.
hungry stranger in a strange


I


land who wished he was
home. I walked to Panama.
and when I got down to the
Tarpon dock, there she was
fixing to pull out for Carra-
belle. Captain Ira Mattair
happened to see me and said,
"Boy, where are you bound
for?"
"Carrabelle," I answered,
"But I'm broke and got no
money."
"Damn the money," he
said. "You get aboard and
we'll go home."
After a good supper I turn-
ed in in a nice little cabin and
crawled into my bunk and
passed out. Just before day I
heard a hell of an argument
out on deck and opened the
door to look and listen. Cap-
tain Ira told Captain Barrow
in no uncertain terms that he
knew that the bar and the
channel was close to the west
end of Dog Island and to let
him alone till he found it. The'
moon was just going down, it
was foggy as all getout. The
woman in the cabin next to
mine came out on deck to see
what was going on and Cap-
tain Barrow barked at her.
and said. "Get to hell back in
vour cabin and stay there."
She did.
Then Captain Barrow dis-
appeared and left the job to
Captain Ira. After a few
more soundings he found
deeper water and told the
helmsman to head her north.
Pretty soon the sun came up.
the fog lifted. the lady pass-
enger left my cabin she had.
entered by mistake and
everything was rosy.
I guessed the man was
right when he said. "All's
well that ends well." So long.

Other Editors Say:


It's Evident to Taxpayer Crime Doesn't Pay


The old adage 'crime does
not pay' certainly applies to
the law-abiding taxpayer.
Not only does the taxpayer
have to pay for the prosecu-
tion of criminals and deten-
tion of those found guilty, but
now we are saddled with the
bill for defending most of
those accused of committing a
crime.
The state has long assumed
the responsibility (and the


bill) for prosecuting and
detaining criminals. It has
only been in the past few
years, however, that the state
has assumed the responsibil-
ity for defending accused
criminals, and only then in
case the criminal is unable to
afford a private. lawyer. In
those cases the court is
required to assign a Public
Defender to the defense.
It would appear that almost


all of the accused criminals
in Holmes County are indi-
gent. Out of the 30 cases
appearing before Circuit
Judge W. L. Bailey here last
week for example. 27 of them
were deemed to be too poor
to provide their own defense.
Their cases were assigned to
the Public Defender.
Those statistics may not be
representative of the percent-
age of felony cases assigned


to the Public Defender on the
average, but we would bet it
is not too far off.
The statistics might indi-
cate several things: 1. Al-
most all of the crime in this
county is being committed by
poor people. 2. The Public
Defender system is being
abused.
We suspect that both state-
ments contain part of the
truth.


What can be done about the
situation? Frankly. we don't
know. We do know. however.
that giving folks something
for nothing does not tend to
solve the problem of crime
in Holmes County.
Maybe-our judges ought to
take a closer look at the
individual circumstances of
our defendants before asking
the taxpayers to foot the bill
for their defense. Or maybe


the defendants .should be
made to pay at least a mini-
mum fee for Public Defender
services. Anything would be
better than the system we
now have.

Willis S
Gulf County Sheriff Ray-
mond Lawrence stated Wed-
nesday. Feb. 20. that a citizen
had reported a bomb being
found in the lower Willis
Landing Area. An investiga-
tion of the report revealed a
military anti-tank 106 recoil-
less rifle round i sitting in an
up-right position located
approximately five miles
south of the lower Dalkeith
road on the north shoulder of
the Willis Landing Road.
The United States Army.
123rd Ordinance Disposal
Unit at Fort Rucker. Ala.
was notified immediately by.
Sheriff Lawrence that an ex-
plosive device had been found ,
and the area secured by ,
Sheriff's deputies. The army
officials sent a disposal team
to the area of the bomb near
Willis Landing. Army Cap-
tain Neal Eiland, officer in
charge of the disposal team,.
stated that three teenagers
were killed with the same,
type of device only a fewt
weeks ago. This explosive.
device is very deadly and
contains, 11 pounds of C-3'
explosive and can fragmen-
tate up to 500 yards.
The explosive projectile
was exploded in a wooded
area by the Explosive Ordi-
nance Disposal Unit at 12:05
P.M. EDT under the super-
.e vision of Army Captain
d- Eiland and Sheriff Raymond
it Lawrence.
n The most puzzling event
related to the bomb was that
a it had been shot -with a high
is powered rifle which pene-
trated the empty nose cone
on one side without detonat-
ing the device. The bomb was
g set in an upright position and'


That's enough of infringing on

I hear a lot of talk these days. Big talk!
Talk about how some people are going to sweat
this summer rather than pay the projected
prices for electricity to run the air conditioner.
It's easy during these balmy Florida days
of perfect weather-needing neither heat or air
conditioning-to brag about how defiant one
will be when the temperature gets up in the
90's during July, August and* September.
Leave that air conditioner off? More than
likely the air conditioner will stay on and the
griping over the large power bills will just
grow louder as the weather gets hotter and the
bill goes higher.
We've used the air conditioner too long to
cut it off, cold turkey, just because the electric
bill happens to get high.

If you think it's an adventure finding all the
gasoline you want to go where you want to
when you want to, you should try finding some
newsprint to buy.
I've been in touch with four different mills
in the past month trying to find one just one
- that would say, "We'll ship you a carload on
such and such a day. But no luck. I have found
two which say they will ship when or if they
happen to have an extra carload. None of then
will talk of any amount less than a carload,
which will last us for about a year and a half.
We now have about enough newsprint on
hand to print The Star for about another month
to six weeks, but don't you go making book that
you won't get your Star after that time. We'll
print each and every week on something.
Finding newsprint to buy isn't the thing
which really bothers us. The thing which does
is that we spent all this money changing over to
web offset printing because sheet newsprint
was unobtainable from any source.
I guess we all have troubles in these days
of shortages, don't we?

First the daughter of the San Francisco
Examiner gets kidnapped, then the editor of
the Atlanta Constitution is grabbed and held for
three days.
In each case huge ransom was required,
thinking the publishing firms were rolling in
money.
Cecil Curry told me Thursday I had better
watch out because I may be next to be
kidnapped, since these radicals are seeming to
pick on the publishing business. My daughter-in
law had the perfect solution for this possibility,
though. She said all I had to do was to just
stick a statement of financial condition on the
front door and they'd know the risk definitely
wasn't worth it for what they might get.

Remember back when kidnapping was a
capital offense, and death to the kidnappers
was almost automatic? Kidnapping was almost
unheard of then. But with the political kidnap-
pings in Argentina and other South American
countries, and the resulting successes without
punishment, it has encouraged the same thing
in the United States.
The only thing which will stop it is for some
of the. apprehended kidnappers to get zapped
themselves. When it gets dangerous to kidnap,
there will be no more kidnapping.

Have you planted your irish potatoes yet?
According to the experts, the time to do it
has come and passed. Calling on Otis Pyle last
week, he put in- to tell me about how to
garden-including planting irish potatoes. Otis
buried 500 pounds of fish in a plot of ground out
at the beach last year and raised a fine garden
where he had buried the fish. He admittedly
had never gardened before, and since he raised
this bumper crop, he thinks he is an expert
agronomer.
What Otis doesn't know is, that if a person
could bury 500 pounds of fish under the skin on
Bob Jackson's head, it would be rich enough to
grow hair.
Anyhow, back to planting potatoes. Expert
agronomer Otis said he took off on February
14, the day approved by the almanac to plant
potatoes, and planted his potatoes.
Then, talking with Joe Alligood last Thurs-
day, he had to tell me he had planted his
potatoes on the 14th "Just like it says to do in
the almanac."
Doug Baldwin, who was raised on the farm
and still hasn't managed to get very far away
from it, says the time to plant potatoes is when
you have the seed, the fertilizer, the ground
prepared and the time to do it all at the same
time.

Very few plants surpass
'bromeliads in ability to per-
sist under poor growing con-
ditions. They are adapted to
many indoor locations, offer
a wide variety in size. shape
and foliage as well as flower
color, require little care and
therefore make excellent
house plants.
Bromeliads are members
.' of the pineaple family, a
family native to American
Tropics. Two very common
members of this family are
the pineapple and Spanish
moss which hangs from so
many southern trees.
Most bromeliads are air
plants or epiphytes which in
nature grow on trees. They
attach themselves by special
roots but are not a parasite
ed in. like mistletoe.
One of the unique features
of most bromeliads is their
vase-like shape where cups
or wells are formed by the
sturdy plant leaves. This
vase effect makes these
plants not only attractive but
very easy to water. All you


have to do is pour water into
the 'vase' formed by the
rosette of overlapping leaf
bases. Just check the water
level every so often and refill
when low or empty.
The nearly 2000 species of
bromeliads provide plant
lovers with an unbelievable
selection of form. color, size
and blooming characteristics.
The leathery leaves may be
plain, variegated or. with a
saw-toothed edge. Size ranges
from very small grass-like
plants to enormous forms
which have leaves several
feet tall. Leaf color varies
from deep green and purple,
to gray, pink and even bril-
liant reds.
If you think the foliage is
spectacular, wait until you
see the flowers. Inflorescence
may arise from the vase or
be borne within it. Actual
flowers are often small but
colorful. However, the showy
part are the brilliantly color-
:ed bracts borne below each
flower.
Most bromeliads grow well


in a very porous organic
medium like chopped osmun-
da. bark or peat moss. They
also grow quite well if hooked
on a tree or wooden plank.
Most species cannot with-
stand temperatures much
below 40 degrees. Little fer-
tilizer is needed. You can use
your normal readily water-
soluble complete fertilizer.
Use it half-strength if poured
into the vase part of the
plant.
A few of the spectacular
species which are usually
available are as follows:
Aechmea fasciata-gray
foliage with a pink flower
head with pink to blue
flowers and very long lasting.
Vriesia splendens-known
as Flaming Sword. Has long
lasting, orange sword-like
flower head with orange to
apricot-colored flowers and
purple blotched foliage.
Neoregelia carolinae- Has
tricolor rosette of leaves of
green and yellow striped foi-
iage but brilliant red center.
Lavender flowers show


within the vase.
Pineapple-Large, spiny
leaves and lavender flowers.


And of course, the familiar
pineapple fruit-eventually!

Tax


Planning

by J. H. Fleming
What is tax planning? It is
one thing to look up the law
and find out whether, and to
what extent, tax liability has
been incurred on transactions
conducted during the year. It
is quite another to find out in
advance what tax liability
will result and then, conduct
transactions with a view
towards reducing taxes. For
example. after the year is
over, a taxpayer who has
sold an asset can determine

nearing.

the taxable gain or deductible
loss by 'looking at the rules
concerning basis, gains and
losses, etc. But by proper tax
planning, he can check the
tax angle before he makes a
sale. It may be better to
postpone the sale until the
following year and use the
gain to offset expected losses.
Or it may be more advanta-
geous. taxwise. to rent an
asset (with or without an
option to purchase) instead of
buying it, or vice versa. He
should compare the deducti-
ble rent with depreciation.
Usually it is just common
sense to handle business and
financial affairs during the
year in a way which will save
taxes. It is also legal to
handle financial affairs with
this intent. Wise tax planning
can hold to a minimum the
tax liability resulting from
many transactions.

"We're paying 130 more per pound

for this type of cable than we did

in 1973. If you don't think thafs a

lot, just multiply it by 4 million."

Compared to the higher prices you've been paying.to put a
pound of meat on the family table, 130 doesn't sound like much.
But multiply it by the 4 million pounds of-this cable we have
to.buy this year, and you get $520,000.
Over a half a million dollars extra for one size of wire
cable alone. ... .. ..
Now add the runaway costs of just about everything a
growing power company must have to serve its customers
reliably, and you have some idea of what inflation is
doing to us. ,
We've been working hard to hold the line
on costs. ,
But just as your family has to eat, our company
has to produce. .
And the simple fact is, when producing electricity Florida
costs more, rates have to go up. Power

Tips on job hunting


Here are a few tips on getting a job after
graduation. Upon leaving school, be sure to
seek an employer who can meet the following
conditions:

You should receive at least $326 per month
spending money after regular monthly ex-
penses and deductions have been paid.
Request regular promotions with increases in
pay for promotions and for length of employ-
ment. And, you should receive your first
promotion, and pay raise to $363 after four
months.

Request 30 days paid vacation per year
starting with your first year. You should also
have low rate or free world travel privileges
any time you are on vacation.

You should be able to continue your education
with the company paying 75 percent of the
cost. If you are selected for college, your
tuition should be paid and your normal salary
continued.

Ask your prospective employer for a clothing
.allowance of some $300 for initial outfitting for
your job and at least $4.50 per month to main-
tain or replace worn-out clothing. At the same
time, request a cost of living allowance and
quarters allowance for your wife and family.
This should be in the form of $105 to $200 per
month added to your regular salary.

Your new employershould provide swimming
pools, tennis courts, bowling alleys, boats,
fishing gear, golf courses, movie theaters,
libraries and craft or hobby shops including
photo labs. All this is for your leisure use.

The employer should also provide unlimited
sick leave with full pay for the entire sick


period. Any medical or dental care for
yourself should be free with additional free
medical care for your entire family.

The prospieclive company you wish to work
for should provide you with a grocery,
departmd'rrtand variety store plus laundries,
service stations, auto repair and restaurants
which reduce your cost of purchase or
expense up to 40 percent.

Make sure the company's retirement clause
states you may retire after 20 years with them
at 50 percent pay and 75 percent at 30 years,
plus continued free medical care for yourself
and dependents.

You should be able to relocate at your
request, travel anywhere in the United States
or the free world at the company's expense. If
you are married you should receive one
months housing allowance each time your
move is at the company's request.


After all this, inform
employer that you want
$10,000 in cash after four
stay another six years.


your prospective
a bonus of up to
years with him to


And then don't forget to let this employer
know that you are not experienced in the work
but would like to be sent to school at full pay
and receive all the company benefits right
from the start and through school.

Now, if your prospective employer can't meet
the requirements you have outlined to him, go
see your local Navy Recruiter, Jack L. Lott.
He is at the Port St. Joe Post Office every
Tuesday at 11:00 a.m. He works for an
employer who can offer you everything you
have asked for above!
