Industry Deep Water Port Fine People Safest Beaches in Florida PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 1974 I a 15 Cents Per Copy SHospital Receives Accreditation .7. II eceiesn Port St. Joe's Municipal Hospital has again received full accreditation of two years by the Joint Commission on Ac- creditation of HIospitals accord- ing to Miss Minerva McLane, Administrator. As a condition of the two- year accreditation, the hospital will be required to conduct an interim self-survey on or about the first anniversary of the recent survey. The Joint Commission com- *mended the Hospital and its Administrator for maintaining standards deserving of accredi- tation and for the constant effort to improve the quality of patient care rendered at the Hospital. The Joint Commission's surveys are voluntary. It is not legally necessary for the hospi- tal to be accredited, but health care facilities have sought ac- creditation. because it repre- sents a benchmark of quality that is higher than governmen- tal licensure alone. The Munici- pal Hospital has been accred- ited for for the past several years.

The City's first. school building, formerly located on the same site was razed last year. Star photo For the third time since its. completion, the City's huge $9.6 million Waste Water Treatment plant will crank up this week and try to stay on-stream, supervisor Bob Simon and engineer repre- sentative Bob Davis told the City Commission Tuesday night. The plant first started after Thanksgiving, but failure of water wells caused it to shut down again. The plant was again started the first .of the year, but a huge 42 inch pipe burst and buckled, forcing another shut down. Other problems have pre- sented themselves also, in- cluding problems with the incinerator and some erosion on the huge settling pond dike. Engineers have completed repairs on the 42 inch pipe by replacing 94 feet with a heav- ier guage pipe and installing more supports. The pipe burst near the collection sta- tion where it runs above ground. Simon said the new wells are ready to go and the Sheriff "Moonlights" VWith Ja il Services Car Destroyed ...

He said Wood was travel- ling toward Panama City when he attempted to pass another car. The wheels of his vehicle dropped off the shoulder of the road causing him to lose control. The Woods car skidded for 195 feet, then turned over. Woods was charged with driving while intoxicated by Murphy. The Highway Patrol Troop- er was assisted in his investi- gation by Sheriff's Auxil- iarymen W. C. Robinson and Homer Adkins. Teenagers Charged On B&E Three local teenagers were arrested for breaking and entering the St. Joseph Bay Country Club Saturday night, March 2, stated Gulf County Sheriff Raymond Lawrence. Lawrence responded to the call as the breaking and entering was discovered ear- ly Sunday morning. The Sher- iff apprehended one of the suspects at the scene and the other two suspects fled into the wooded area west of the Country Club. The area was closed off and Sheriff's Deputies closed in, to end the search as Deputy Jimmy Williams caught the last of the three. The property which had been removed from the Coun- try Club was recovered by the Sheriff's Department. The Gulf County Sheriff's office, under the direction of Sheriff Raymond Lawrence, has taken on a new job of housing prisoners for federal, state and other county agen- cies. The Sheriff states that due to the increased over crowd- ed conditions of the prisons and jails in Florida, he has agreed to house prisoners to help alleviate the prison crisis and also to help the citizens of Gulf County to pay for the new jail. The Sheriff states that since the inception of the new program, in the middle of the 1973, he has collected and turned over to the county a sum of $11,070.60. Lawrence says that to house these pri- soners has caused his already short handed staff to work harder, but that each of them have accepted the extra duties with a smile. The Sheriff also stated that the Sheriff's Auxiliary has helped to make the new pro- gram a success. Outside prisoners are nor- mally left in our jail no long- er than 30 days. Lawrence further states that if a person has to stay in any jail, the Gulf County jail is the one to be in, because it is rated by the State Correctional Sys- tem, as being one of the few small jails in the state as being excellent. * incinerator is due to be fired up before the end of the week. Simon said the plant would be cranked up on a limited basis yesterday and gradually increase its opera- tion during the week until full operation is achieved. The City. Commission is meeting. with the contractor and engineers today to talk about the situation and try and expedite the'final work on the installation. REQUEST DENIED Usually requests for devia- tion from the City's zoning ordinance are handled with no opposition, but the recent request of Dr. Tom Gibson for deviation at the corner of 16th Street and Monument Avenue to construct a .duplex apartment, -met considerable. resistance Tuesday night. Clerk Charles Brock re- ported he had received five written epistles opposing the change and 10 people were present voicing their dis- pleasure at the suggestion. The Board voted unani- mously to deny the request. In other zoning changes, the Board agreed to a change in Millview Addition, Unit 3, broad Street, upgrading its zone status to R-1A, better single family dwellings. OTHER BUSINESS In other business, the Board: -Studied a new gas con- tract for the Waste Water Treatment plant, raising the price from 10.3 to 12.3c per therm. The new contract price called for a firm gas contract and the Board wants an interruptible gas contract which is cheaper. The gas company claims all its allot- ted interruptible gas is al- ready under contract. -Received a low bid of $18,362.82 for a hydraulic sewer cleaning machine. The Board delayed final decision on the matter until all the Commission could study the proposal. -Accepted the low bid of Dixie Dodge to furnish the City with a police patrol car. -Agreed to install four mercury vapor lights on Third Street and three on Fourth Street at the sugges- tion of Florida Power Corp., manager, Wes Thompson. Food Stamp Unit Changes Location The Division of Family Ser- vices, Food Stamp Unit 86, has moved the Port St. Joe food stamp office to a new location at 607 Highway 98, Highland View. The facility will be located next door to the Roberson Supermarket. Plenty of parking space is available at the new location. The office will continue to be open for certification on Tuesday and Wednesdays of each week, and will issue stamps on Thursdays as usual, announces Mrs. Juan- ita Melvin, Food Stamp Supervisor. Gaskin, Core, Linton Receive Bonds and Check from Pittman Dead Lakes Dist. Receives Loan Dead Lakes Water Man- agement District was $100,000 richer, momentarily, Thurs- day, when they received a loan from the Farmer's Home Administration. Eugene Pittman, Assistant County Supervisor of the Farmer's Home Administra- tion, USDA, delivered the check to District chairman William Linton, attorney Da- vid Carl Gaskin and Clerk of the Court George Y. Core to help finance work on the Dead Lakes project currently nearing completion. The project, a water lower- ing device, will allow the lakes to be drained periodi- cally and allow sunshine to shine on the weeds now chok- ing the lake. The sun, shining on the roots of the plants, is to control the growth of the noxious weeds in the popular fishing grounds. The District has spent and is spending approximately $350,000 on the project which includes grants of $100,000 each from the Department of Natural Resources and the Florida Game and Fresh Wa- ter Fish Commission. The FHA loan is at 3.649 percent interest over a period of 20 years. The loan will be repaid by revenue from sales of Dead Lakes fishing permits. Completion of the water lowering device is expected to be complete this spring. THIRTY-SEVENTH YEAR, N BER 26 Old School Building Being Razed 0 I .

Wallace, Governor of Alabama, is becoming more popu- lar than a double dip ice cream cone on a hot day in July. From a posture of being des- pised by the leaders of both major political parties in 1968 when he stoodd in the door of the University 6f Alabama, Wallace has advanced to the position of the, most sought after proponent by both parties. First it was Teddy Kennedy trying to strike up a rapport with Wallace back in the summer. Then 'Senator Scoop Jackson, who is campaigning as hard as he can for the Democratic nomination has publicly stated Wallace is "emi- nently qualified" to be either vice- president or president. Of course, Jackson hopes he will strive to be vice-president on a ticket with Senator Jackson, of course. The latest in the parade to Wallace's door has been president Richard Millhouse Nixon. Why Nixon is seeking the favor of Wallace isn't known, since Nixon cannot run in the next presidential race. Maybe he was merely seek- ing the support of Wallace4for the Republican party. There is no denying that the support of Wallace helped Nixon immensely in 1972.' At any rate, Wallace has made a complete about-face in his pop- ularity among the professional poli- ticians. One has to wonder if- Wallace is basking in the thought that it's nice to be loved or is he asking himself where he has gone wrong to attract the adoration of those he once flayed with his tongue at every opportunity. Tournament Planned The St. Joseph Bay Country Club will host a first class golf tournament or invitation- al to be staged as a feature Ovent of the mammoth Gulf County Golden Anniversary Celebration being planned for June 6-14, 1975. Although the St. Joseph Bay Country Club is a young organization, it 'iX rapidly placing its mark .upon the community and the surround- ing area. Its new modern ckub "house with its recrea- tional facilities is something of which Gulf Countians can well be proud. Its 18 hole golf course, greens, and fairways encompass many lakes and is a place of beauty. Its location in the natural surroundings of Gulf County's pine woods and on the shores of the beauti- ful St. Joseph Bay only en- hances its lovely setting. Bob Jackson will serve as special project chairman for the club in presenting this golf tournament. Bob is well known throughout the area as a man who gets things done in the best possible way. Under his leadership, an ex- cellent and enjoyable pro- gram is assured. The Gulf County Golden Anniversary Commission has planned more than 40 extra- vagant events over a period of nine days that will surely tickle the fancy of residents and visitors alike.

Nort had a big powerful outboard rig and we were soon out in deep water riding the swells. Instead of towing us around a while he gave us the high ball and cut the tow line so all we could do was anchor or sail and I told Pierre to put on the jib. This gave us steerage way and she acted so good I decided to put. her through her paces and we put the mainsail up. Boy she kicked up her heels and we scudded along in high gear for a mile or so and everything looked pretty. I was at the tiller and Pierre was up forward and he pointed ahead and yelled something.

I f" 'Etaoin Shrdlu by WESLEY RAMSBY From swallowing live gold fish to rolling beds to stuffing telephone booths, to panty raids, to streaking. Streaking is taking over as the daring thing to do by the college kids. It all started at FSU in Tallahassee and is now spreading across the nation. It started with boys doing the streaking and is now getting to be co-educational. A girl in Michigan streaked across the stage of a Shakespearean production and in the process lost her boy friend and caught a cold. As with all college hijinks, the older people are shaking their heads and wondering what possesses the kids to undertake such a pass time. If you don't know, streaking is running in the buff with only a pair of socks or tennis shoes on for protection against the elements. Nothing is provideti to prevent the stares. The kid races across a public place into a waiting vehicle and is whisked away before he (or she) can be arrested. Now back to the cause of the streaking craze. I have a theory and I would like for Dr. Susan Conley, our pretty, petite psychologist with the Gulf County Guidance Clinic to study. My theory certainly isn't based on any psychological research or accepted theory. Streaking is a natural urge of man. I believe the urge to "streak" started several years ago. I remember, I use to "streak". I didn't do it in college or even in high school. Nor do I remember streaking in elementary school. But, I did streak as did many other Americans who lived in this land, in the country, several years ago. Streaking as we knew it then has largely disappeared from the scene. I streaked across about 50 feet of the back yard each and every morning, when the frost was on the pumpkin and the seat was cold. I streaked back again to the house, after my short visit to the nether ends of the back yard. On a cold morning, just getting out of a warm bed, one. streaked, since there was not the warm comfortA of-; a. -comfort,,station, inpthe.- ; hous. The iold tAtised the streaking,- though,- not the adventure of doing it trying to keep from getting caught. Too, our streaking was more sedate than the modern day variety. We had on more than shoes and a smile. This is probably the first generation to come along in which hardly anyone makes that cold, lonely dash in the morning. But the urge continues. The inbred habit of generation after generation cannot be discarded overnight. The urge to streak is still there though the necessity has been removed by modern day convenien- ces. So, before you condemn these college kids as being wholly immoral, we should remember our own streaking days and the urges that caused us to make such sacrifices. Then we will find it easier to see why the college kids succumb to forces greater than they are. I just hope they come to realize what is causing their natural discomfort by not streaking before the discomfort which accompanied our streaking days are made manifest to them. I don't think we should let Ashley Costin go to Orlando any more to represent Port St. Joe in the Citrus Open golf tournament. Ashley goes every year as the guest of his father-in- law and he hasn't won anything. I noticed in the papers Saturday that Ashley was still letting golfers like old Arnold Palmer get up in the leaders bracket. I looked the list over to the bottom and no Ashley. He's going to have to start doing better or we'll just be forced to find ourselves another representa- tive. Speaking of golf; I understand Tom Ely made a hole in one at the Country Club the other day. Tom is very subtle about his good fortune. He will break into any conversation regardless of the subject or import of said conversation to casually say, "I made a hole in one the other day". Several golfers have put their name on a list agreeing to pay $5.00 to any of their number who makes a hole in one. I understand Tom is going ,to use his prize money, after he has it collected, to place a full PAGE THREE THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla.

DATED February 27, 1974 -s-William Bruce Weeks Co-Executors -s-Merle Jordan MacArthur Co-Executors 4t 3-7 More About Shell Sheriff Raymond Lawrence reports that his office has received '-a response t o the plea for information concern- ing the anti ,tank projectile found and destroyed in the Willis Landing area on Feb- ruary 19. Deway Harrison of Dal- keith, called and advised the Sheriff that he had reported seeing the projectile and that Mr. and Mrs. Max Wilson who reside in the Willis Land- ing found the weapon last fall in the ditch-like construction next to M & K Ranches. A talk with Mrs. Wilson revealed that her husband had carried the shell from the woods to the road and that she and others had han- dled it without giving a thought to the possibility of it being a live round. Mrs. Wilson stated that since there was a bullet hole in the nose of the projectile she and her husband assumed it must be a dud. The Sheriff wishes to thanK Mr. Harrison and Mrs. Wil- son for the prompt response to the plea for information. The mystery still remains how a 106 anti-tank projectile happened to be in this area when there is no Army in- stallation or knowledge of any in the past in this neck of the woods.

Fleming When to Incorporate A Business: When a partner- ship is incorporated the part- ners should decide in ad- vance whether or not there will be a gain or loss and whether or not they would prefer to have the gain or loss "recognized. Whether or not there is a gain or loss depends generally on whether or not the partnership assets have appreciated or depre- ciated in value while in the. hands of the partnership. The dissolution of the partnership itself orinarily does not result in realization of a recogniza- ble gain or loss. However, it is possible that 'gain or loss may be recognized on trans- fer of the partnership, assets to the corporation. This depends upon whether the transferor-partners are in control of the corporation, that is, whether they own at least 80 percent of the corpor- ate stock. If they do, the transfer will be tax-free under Code Sec. 351. It may not always be desir- able to avoid the recognition of gain on incorporation of a' partnership. If the gain is recognized, the corporation will have a higher basis for its assets and, therefore, increased depreciation allow- ances. But in order to have this gain recognized and to provide the, corporation with a stepped-up basis, it is usu- ally necessary for the part- ners to take in an, outsider so that the partners will own less than 80 percent of the stock. Considerations similar to those discussed above may be pertinent in determining whether or not to incorporate a proprietorship. Chief Griffin Attends Meeting Port St. Joe Police Chief H. W.

C. Player; Eldridge Money; Walter Graham; A. Lamar Davis and T. D. (Doc) Whit- field. The Clerk, Sheriff and Attorney were also present. The Sheriff called the meet- ing to order at 7:30 p.m.. Attorney Rish opened the meeting with prayer and led the pledge of allegiance. The minutes of the Feb- ruary 12 meeting were read, approved, and adopted. R. H. Ellzey, representing St. Joe Historical Society, requested that, upon con- struction of a library in Gulf County, space be provided for storage of records, meeting rooms and pictorial displays for the society. The Board agreed to consider this pro- posal when, and if, library plans are drawn up. Attorney Rish informed Jesse Stone that he has been informed matching funds will be available to the 50th Anni- versary Commission for per- manent construction in Gulf County. Claude Lister appeared before the Board requesting that a verbal agreement to furnish a garbage pit on his property at Howard Creek be terminated. The Board agreed to furnish Mr. Lister a letter declaring termination of the agreement and clean- up of the site within ten days. David Roche told the Board he would like to go on record as opposing the selling of a 30 foot street right of way in the Oak Grove area as it could be possibly needed if future growth occurs in the area. The Board felt it would have no use for the right of way in the future because of its loca- tion, however, the Board has the right to refuse any and all bids if it so desires. R. H. Ellzey, on behalf of the Apalachicola Northern Railroad, informed the Board of a forthcoming request for flashing signals at Avenue A. The cost is expected to be $12,000 with the Railroad and the Board sharing the cost on a 50-50 basis. In addition, the Clerk read a letter from the Department of Transportation requesting 1Sears Is The. BIGGEST SHOPPING CENTER IN THE : WORLD and in Port St. Joe.

The estimated cost is $18,000 each. Lamar Davis requested James Hurd be nominated to the Regional Manpower Plan- ning Board. The Board con- curred with the recdmmenda- tion. The Clerk notified the Board that the annual 5-year secondary road meeting will be held March 27 at 9:00 p.m. in the County Commission room of the Franklin County Courthouse. Upon motion by Comm. Money, second by Comm. Whitfield, and unanimous vote, the Board approved a contract with Gulf Oil to furnish gasoline to the Board. The Board received a bill for $161.70 for Medicaid pur- poses. The Clerk was in- structed to file this bill. The Board received a copy of the 20th annual Mosquito Control Financial Report, presented by Emmette Dan- iell, Supervisor. Upon request of the Mos- quito Control Supervisor, the Clerk was instructed to write Wiley Garrett, district con- servationist, asking for his help on March 18 and 19 in locating suitable landfill sites. Upon motion by Comm. Graham, second by Comm. Whitfield, and unanimous vote, the Board approved payment of '$108.00 for Dec- ember and $378.00 for Janu- ary as billed for detention of Gulf County youth. The Board received employment applications from Barbara Ann Buchanan, Yolonda F. Strange and Eliz- abeth Cumbie. The Board received a request from Sheriff Ray- mond Lawrence for an increase. of $1,081,44 in his budggte~to cover& expenses in providing the Gulf County Sheriff's Auxiliary with insur- ance, jackets and the stars to wear upon the jackets. After discussion, Comm. Whitfield moved the Board tentatively adopt the follow- ing budget amendment and advertise for a public hearing on March 26, 1974. Fine and Forfeiture Fund: Receipts: 1422,. Other Gov. Agencies STate Prisoners, original budget, $1943.78; people I Controlled Burn Helps Pine Trees to Thrive Rudy Gaskin of Wewahitch- ka, center, discusses with Forest Ranger Milton Strength, left, and Charles Gregg, right, the low inten- sity prescribed burn applied to his 13 year old slash pine plantation.

Comms. Player, Davis, Money and Whitfield voted Aye. Comm. Graham voted No. Comm. Graham added that he had no objec- tion to the insurance or jackets, however, he felt the budget should be amended at the end of the year by de- creasing the contingencies. Instead, by amending the budget in the middle of the year, the Board has to depend upon additional revenue and possibly place an additional burden on the taxpayer if such reveltUe does not materialize. Comm. Money asked the Attorney if any progress had been made on the proposed park at Dead Man's Curve. Attorney Rish said the Department of Natural Re- sources had been informed the project was hung up on a federal level. The Board received the 1973 Annual Report of the Medical Examiners Commis- sion of the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services. Upon motion by Comm. Graham, second by Comm. Whitfield, and unanimous vote, the Board agreed to advertise for bids to be open- ed April 9, 1974, on the following equipment, as per specs on file in the Clerk's office, for the White City Fire Department.

Graham, the Board discussed the purchase of a Barber- called for a fire to back' through the stand, eliminate much of the underbrush, and reduce the hazard of a possi- ble wildfire. This type of prescribed fire is done only during ideal burning conditions, and with green resurfacing machine and requested the Clerk fur- nish the unexpended balance in the Road and Bridge's equipment account at the next meeting. Comm. Graham said a spokesman for the County employees had contacted him about a cost of living raise and asked him to raise the issue at the meeting. The remaining Commissioners answered they were unaware of desire for such a raise. Comm. Davis moved the matter be tabled until the next meeting for further study until the expected costs and means of financing could be presented to the Commis- sioners. Comm. Whitfield secondeded the motion and it passed "unanimously. ''" . Upon question by Comm. Whitfield, the Road Superin- tendent answered that stop signs are being installed on all county roads. Comm. Player told the Board that Robert L. Howard is requesting the Board lengthen Bonita Street in St. Joe Beach about 250 yards to his home-building site. The Road Commissioner agreed to investigate the situation. Upon question by Ed Band- jough, the Chairman announ- ced the work session for the 5-year Secondary Road Pro- gram would be Thursday, March 7, 1974, at 7:30 p.m. Rune Lillquist appeared before the Board requesting the Board loan first aid kits from the Civil Defense Department for use in Wewa- hitchka and St. Joe ambu- lances. In addition, he sug- gested the Board consider following a state timetable for providing ambulances in Gulf County. The Board agreed to consider these pro- posals. SThe Board approved the attendance of the Mosquito Control Supervisor, the Road Department Superintendent, the Clerk, and his Deputy at the State Association of County Commissioners meet- ing in Panama City beginning March 3, 1974. There being no further business, the meeting ad- journed. S. C. PLAYER, Chairman ATTEST: George Y. Core, Clerk well trained and experienced fire control crews. Ideal burning conditions usually exist immediately fol- lowing a heavy cold front with a significant amount of rain during the winter time. As the cold front passes the wind shifts and will usually blow steadily from the north- west or north for a day or so. With a wet humus layer, a reasonable amount of ground fuel, cold temperature, and a steady wind blowing from a common direction, it is possi- ble to back a straight line of fire against the wind under a tall stand of slash pines with- out doing significant damage. Prior to this type burning one must obtain a permit. This can be accomplished by contacting the local head- quarters of the Division of Forestry. Anyone planning this type burn should become familiar with the fire laws of Florida. These laws require notification of neighbors and stipulate any person setting a fire:. is- responsible for any damages 'that might occur to any adjoining property if the fire escapes.

A terrarium is a mini-gar- den enclosed in a glass con- tainer like a round glass globe, aquarium, large-mouth bottle or another type of glass container. Terrariums are ideal for growing plants indoors since they create a near ideal atmosphere for Plants which normally, could not stand the dry conditions in most homes. The glass enclosure produces an atmo- sphere of high humidity, pro- tects delicate foliage and allows you to grow many plants which would normally not do well indoors. Terrariums are simple to make and once planted are easy to maintain. The plants will usually thrive with only minimum care. Choose a con- tainer suitable to the interior decor. Second, select a con- tainer which is easy to plant. A bottle terrarium is cer- tainly a conversation piece but it is difficult to plant unless the opening is large. After selecting the contain- er, place at least one inch of small pea gravel in the bot- tom of the unit. This pro- duces a water reservoir in the bottom but allows water drainage from the media above. The gravel prevents overwatering problems.. On top of the gravel place three to four inches of a good organic soil mixture. One part peat and one part sand is a good mix. The soil mixture can be -leveled .or foldedd: intoslos , and depressions of various shapes to produce a natural looking miniatrue landscape. Select plants which are of suitable size for the container and ones which will not grow so fast that they have to be removed too quickly. Small foliage plants and ferns are ideal but flowers like African violets add color and interest. Set the plants at the same depth they were growing in the wild or pot. A glass cover for the terra- rium top is used to keep the humidity high and to prevent it from drying out too rapid- ly.
