Kilbourn Named to Steering Committee ,George N. Kilbourn of Port' St. Joe has been named Chairman of the Gulf County Action '76 Bicentennial Steer- ing Committee. The announcement of Kil- bourn's appointment was made this week by Lt. Gov. Tom Adams and is effective immediately. Adams is state chairman of the Bicentennial Commission of Florida which is developing a program to mark-along with all other states-the 200th anniversary of America's. founding in 1776. He was engaged in con- struction and boat building before his association with St. Joe Paper Company in 1957. He retired in 1972. Chairman Kilbourn Chairman Kilbourn explain- ed that the purpose of the Bicentennial observance is to honor American and its great heritage. Gulf County's Action Com- mittee, activated with Kil- KILBOURN bourn's appointment as chairman, is one of 49 now functioning in the state. He is active in church and community affairs, writes a weekly column for The Star, and is a member of the Vet- erans of Foreign Wars, American Legion and Masons. Kilbourn and wife, the for- mer Helen Elizabeth Brad- ford, have three sons. County Court. Judge Moore. pointed out that state law requires the phasing out of the City court by January 1, 1977 and allows them the choice of keeping their court or turning it over to the. county prior to that time. Judge Moore pointed out that any fines resulting from the court would go to the City less any court costs which would be incurred. He pointed out that fines were not a substantial source of revenue anyhow, and the fines weren't designed as a source of revenue in the first place. "They are merely to discourage an offender from repeating his mis-deeds", Moore said. Moore said the benefits of the central court would be to establish a unified court sys- tem with uniform fines, charges, etc. The City court is now op- erated by Municipal Judge M. P. Tomlinson who has said he would not oppose the shift to the County court. The Commission, however, decid- ed that since their court was operating effectively, they would maintain it for the time being at least. Judge Moore said that was perfectly agreeable to him and pointed out the City had the opportunity to close down the City court at any time they choose up to the January 1, 1977 date. , of State Sets Visit TALLAHASSEE-Secretary of State Richard (Dick) Stone will be touring the Gulf and Calhoun County. areas April 11. Secretary Stone who is a member of the State Cabinet, chief Election Offi- cer and the chief Corporate Officer of the state will be attending several public gatherings during the day. The primary purpose of this. gathering is to gain informa- tion and recommendations from the local citizens con- cerning ways to improve Cabinet, elections and corpor- ate procedures in Florida. "It is important to know how the people want their government run," said Sec- retary Stone. Secretary Stone will attend an open house in the recrea- tion room in the Motel St. Joe in Port St. Joe, Florida from 9 a.m. (EDT) to 10 a.m. April 11. From 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. Secretary Stone will be tour- ing the Port St. Joe business area and the Gulf County Courthouse. At 10:30 CDT the Secretary will visit 'Wewahitchka.

Minerva McLane Steps Down as Administrator Miss Minerva McLane, who has served as Administrator for Municipal Hospital since 1957, retired Friday from her position. Miss McLane was eligible for retirement in January of this year but has continued to serve through the month of March while the City Commission searched for another ad- ministrator. When Miss McLane came to Municipal Simon says -the problem the differences in a con screw, in the hopper an one inside the incinerate Pate remarked, 5,It's , we put our foot. down a something toward placi responsibility and gettir thing on the line.

Pate pointed out tor. thai what corrections had s time been made 'the operating nd -did. crew had made hbenr ;'while' ng the the engineers and contractors ig this sat back and drew payment e been for them". The Mayor said, "We need to tell the engineer and con- tractor to get it operating. The Paper Company is pay- ing the giant's share of the bills out there and. they haven't said a word yet. If it was me, I would be right here every meeting night wanting to know what the delay is." All. of the Commission was in agreement with Pate and are ready to "talk plain" to both the engineer and con- tractor. A meeting was scheduled between the Com- mission and the engineer yes- terday afternoon at which time they meant to press the engineer to set out their explanation as to where the fault lies in writing to the Commission. In the case of the dike, the engineers say it is designed properly and the contractor says it is not. The engineer has verbally told the City not to fill the 83 acre pond, but if they do fill it, do. it slowly. The City doesn't want the responsibility of filling the pond and have the dike break, flooding the country- side. The pond is partially full now, and seepage has shown up around the sides, in addi- tion to the erosion to the inside walls. Attorney Rish pointed out to the Board that once the City gets in writing, the en- ition. gineer's opinion on the sever- to 50 al matters causing trouble; the City can move to take said concrete steps to get them ayed corrected, whether by the adding engineers or the contractor. At any rate, the Commis- at a sion has started putting spital themselves in a position to Miss get an operating plant and o is seeing that the City'does not f the have to pay for any modifi- )hoto cations which might. be needed. Judge Moore Creates Traffic Violation Bureau Gulf County Judge Robert M. Moore announced this week that his office has created a Traffic Violations Bureau for Gulf County which is being put into use immediately. Judge Moore said the Bu- reau was formed to set up a table of uniform traffic vio- lation fines and make it more convenient for citizens to ap- pear in court on any possible traffic violation. "Some violations don't even require an appearance in court," Judge Moore said. "In this case, the fine can be paid at the office of the Sheriff, the Clerk of the Court or the County Judge's office within a given time span. Some fines can even be mail- ed in," the Judge said. The Traffic Violations Bu- reau cannot process certain traffic 'violations which will require an appearance in County Court. "The need for an appearance in court will be marked on the traffic ticket", Judge Moore said. When an offender must come to court, even that necessity has been changed to make it more convenient for the peo- ple. County traffic court ses- sions will be held at night 'in the future on the first Thurs- day night of'each month. Those wishing to pleau not guilty to any traffic charge must appear in court. Certain violations, listed by the Judge in his new order, must also appear in court. These in- clude such cases as drunken driving, violations which re- sult in an accident, speeding in excess of 15 miles per hour over the limit, violations which may involve a felony, etc. "The 'serious' cases must appear in court," Moore said. Traffic violations will carry a uniform fine for -each charge. The fine charges have been posted in the Judge's office.

The photo above shows half of the pre-constructed three bedroom home being lifted to its foundation by a huge crane. The home, in two sections, was. set on the foundation, ready for the roof to be put in placed and utilities connected, in 30 minutes. Otherwise, the home was complete with carpets, flooring, plumbing, appliances and light fixtures. If I was a camper, I would not pass up the new state park just opened in Wewahitchka last Saturday. I went to Wewahitchka Saturday at noon for the fish fry which opened the new state recreation area, along with Ted Cannon, and found it a secluded, peaceful, place in which one could really relax and enjoy the scenery. Located right on a small lake, with access to the Dead Lakes only a stone's throw, the park is located in a setting of tall pines on a gentle hillside, with all the comforts of any of Florida's many state parks. I'm not a camping nut, but, as I said, if I were, I certainly would not pass up the new park at Wewahitchka this summer for a restful week end. Courthouse Roof Leak Needs Repairs It would seem that after nearly three years of a leaking roof in the Gulf County Courthouse, the County Commission would have had it fixed by now. At nearly every County Com- mission meeting for the past three years, discussion has come up about a leak in the Courthouse which is damaging the inside of the vault in the Clerk's office and the" Swells inside the County Agent's office. The Board has been told where the leak is coming from and they seem to agree that the water is getting inside the building where the second story wall juts upward from the ground floor roof. One of the Commissioners has testified that, there are cracks where the wall joins which comes from ex-. pansion and contraction of the two sections of the building: But to this date, so far as we know, there have. been no orders given to fix the leak. It isn't unnatural to have a leak in this location, it seems, but the LETTERS To The Editor: April 1, 1974 leak is there, leaking away at Dear Sir: every rain.

Last Chance S County Commissioner Walt( Graham seemed to be skeptical last meeting, at the news the Cit of Port St. Joe was going to surve Oak Grove for the possibility installing water and sewer in th: vicinity. We asked Walter if ot impression was true and he said w read him right. "To be fair, I think the City i run now as well as it has eve been", Graham told us, "But won't believe' they intend to pt water and sewer in Oak Grove unt I see it in writing." To set the record straight, th City never said at any time the were going to put water and sewe in Oak Grove; They did say the were going to instruct their eng neers to survey the area and see the services could be supplied at n cost to the City tax payers. If so and the customers were availabi to make the system self-supporting the indication was the City would go ahead with the project. It's true the FHA backed o0 loaning the Oak Grove Water an Other Editors Solving The Florida Times-Union Congress' favorite way to "solve" today's problems, especially in an election year as this is, is to simply post- pone them, preferably as far into the future as possible. The report of the Democra- tic majority of the congres- sional Joint Economic' Com- mittee, calling for a $10 bil- lion tax cut to "ease the bite of inflation" and "'stimulate the economy" is one more example of passing the buck er Sewer District money for the ser- al, vices because they felt the potential ty customers were not there to guar- ey antee the lean. But the systems of could be installed at less cost by is the City and an official governmen- ur tal body would be in charge of the ve operation. Since the City is definitely is going to undertake a huge program er of repair and improvements on I their own system, it would be less ut expensive to make the Oak Grove til project a part of the City's plans which would save considerable in he construction costs. Dy Commissioner Graham prob- er ably had cause to be skeptical with ey his past experience of trying to, i- secure the services for. Oak Grove if and seeing the huge expense in- no volved. We think he can be assur- o, ed, though, that if the system can le be built in a self-sustaining man- g, ner, it will be built. If it is Id unfeasible in this try, we feel the people of Oak Grove cannot expect ff to get piped water and sewer id collection in the foreseeable future. Say: When I received my i "Greetings" from the draft .1 board a few years back along with a bus load of other honored citizens I felt that the trip to Camp Blanding was a mere formality. I had been turned down in Jackson- ville a month previous trying to volunteer in the Seabees on account of wearing glasses. Doctor Moroe in Apalach told me he was sorry but there was nothing wrong with me. I shucked off with the rest of them and passed every- thing fine up to the eye test. There was a sign propped up in the middle of the floor and they told me to take my glasses off and walk toward it till I could read it. I ran into it and knocked it down and somebody said, "O.K., next man." The last doctor to interview me after I had dressed looked me over and told me I looked pretty good ,to be from Car- rabelle and that "corrected vision" took care of the eye problem. I was given a choice of Army or Navy and when I said Navy there I was national seashore? Surely its pristine beauty is worth saving! I don't know who owns the property, but from the Eglin test site and the lighthouse there are for sale signs al- most continuous in both directions. It's very Ameri- can to start a business ven- ture to make money, but why do we have to exploit these lovely gifts from God to such an end? The dunes, shrubs, palms and wildlife were scraped into nonexistence last summer about half a mile south of the State Park entrance so that someone could improve the land by building a house on the beach. Is this really improve- meqt? Can man improve on the artwork of God? Help us save our beaches! Sincerely yours, Felix D. Long CC: Gov. Reubin Askew in the Seabees with an apprentice seaman's rate in- stead of electrician's mate first class. They took me to Jackson- ville to be sworn in and the officer said, "you are now a member of the greatest fight- ing force ever assembled in the history of the world:" I was given seven days leave and headed for Carrabelle. I was 37 and had a wife and two little boys whom I loved very much and hated to leave, but in war time it makes everything different. I arrived in Camp Peary, Vir- ginia, one cold Thanksgiving Day and got off the train and into a truck just as it started snowing and the boys inside the fence sang that old re- frain, "You'll be sorry." They were right. I'll try to tell you just how sorry later on. -KILLER K. My apologies to Cecil G. Costin, Sr. for leaving his name off the baseball team Today's Problems to the future. It is true that inflation is "biting." February's 1.3 per cent increase in the cost of living pushed consumer prices 10 per cent higher than a year ago, the first double- digit inflation for a 12-month period since 1948. It is also true that tax reductions characteristically do stimulate the economy, and would probably "bright- en the current gloomy out- look for consumer demand in 1974." This could save jobs. But-the crux of the matter is-any move to lower gov- ernmental income, without correspondingly reducing governmental spending, can only furnish the fuel for even more uncontrollable inflation in the future. Several specifics of the ma- jority report's extended re- commendations evidence the familiar fallacy of seeking to treat the symptoms, not the disease. For one example consider the proposal to temporarily reduce the Social Security tax, for 18 months, to the level in effect two years ago. Now that automatic cost-of- living hikes are built into the Social Security payment schedule, it's difficult to see how the payments coming in can be cut while the pay- ments going out rise, without further mortgaging future generations. Again, the majority re- port's recommendations to create a "permanent public service employment program (to operate) whenever unem- ployment exceeds 4.5 per cent" is treating only the symptom. The answer to fuller em-. ployment is a healthy econo- my, wherein virile consumer purchasing power spins the mercantile wheels to keep factory production lines hum- ming and expanding.

Phone 648-3940 roster last week. He was a fine shortstop.t, long term answer. The brightest ray of light even more to the point than the Republican minority's dissent, was the separate statement by Sen.. William Proxmire, who went a differ ent path from. his fellow Democrats. In a separate statement he called for "austerity, nol stimulation" as the prescrip- tion for the economy. His logic ran thinner where it came to specifics-the Defense budget (of which he is a constant critic) is deter- mined by conditions beyond Washington's control and cannot be arbitrarily cut without a risk which is intol- erable. But congress can indeed control those, expenditures- the many frills and niceties and programs which, rate low in cost-effectiveness-which annually account for such massive slices of the federal budget pie. To offer a tax cut-in bal ance with reduced expendi tures, could indeed achieve the goals which the commit tee majority ineptly seeks. Can the housewife, who cannot now afford the beef she used to buy, who cannot now afford to drive as much at today's gas prices, still afford the lavish extrava- gance of federal programs which would be of question able return-per-dollar even were there (wild thought) a federal budget surplus? If the overwhelming major- ity of 200 million-plus Ameri- cans have had to seriously "cut down" in their persona] budgets, why cannot Con- gress also adapt its spending habits to today's conditions? e I read an article the other day which said there are now 131,606,000 telephones in the 8 United States. That's more than one telephone for every two people in the nation. The national average is 62.7 telephones for every 100 people. Japan is in second place with the number of phones, but even this highly mechanized nation has only 34,021,155-just one fourth the number - of phones found in the U.S. t Now, is it any wonder you occasionally get e a wrong number when you dial one number and the mechanism has to select your particular r number from a choice of 131,606,000?

Ted, like everybody else, had been reading the stories recently of bankers and their wives being kidnapped. It seems Ted came to work early one morning and started to open the back door of the bank when he noticed a movement to his right in the shadow of the bank wall. Two people started crawling out from under a blanket in the shadows and the first thing Ted thought of was, "kidnap". It didn't work out that way. His "kidnap- pers" turned out to be a couple of the long- haired hitch-hiking kids one sees on the highways regularly now. They had spent the night sleeping under a blanket up against the warm wall of the bank? Ted didn't admit that he had misgivings about whether or not the bank would pay his ransom if he had been kidnapped, but I'll bet the thought crossed his mind. If you thought last year went by fast do you realize Easter is only a little more than a week away? V The word is out that the gasoline shortage has been alleviated to the point where gas is now available almost everywhere in plentiful t supply. A check of Port St. Joe service stations toward the last of the week showed several local stations out, one rationing the amount he would sell and another, who has managed to scrounge up gasoline all through the shortage from one source or another, reported he had the hardest time securing gas last week end he has 'had during the entire shortage.

To qualify for FBI employment, an appli- cant must be a United States citizen, ,a high school gradu- ate, be in reasonable good health, and pass a back- ground investigation.'

Racing Checks Mai led , TALLAHASSEE The March racing tax checks have been mailed to each of the 67 Florida counties, Comptroller Fred 0. (Bud) Dickinson reported today. This month's checks are for $95.000, only $5,000 above the same time last year but still $79,500 ahead of last year's total distributions. The total amount mailed to each coun- ty is now $414,000.. Under Florida law each county gets an equal share of the racing revenue A ceiling of $446,500 is im- posed by the statutes. Dickin- :son said, "with only $32,500 remaining before this year's allocations are filled, we should be able to complete the program when the next' warrants (checks) are mail- ed out." After expenses and other costs of operating the pari- mutuel trust fund, any extra collections are transferred into the general revenue funds. SWe dont have forests to burn.

The option is available for the first time to people re- porting non-farm self-employ- ment earnings for 1973, according to Robert Latta, Social Security Representa- tive for Gulf County. "Instead of reporting their net earnings for the year," Latta said, "people can report up to two-thirds of their gross earnings from self employment for social secur- ity credit-if two-thirds is $400 or more but less than $1,600." Previously, people who worked in non-farm self employment received no social security credit if their net earnings for a year were under $400. "Now they can get credit if their net is under $400 but their gross is from $600 to $2,400 and they report their earnings by the optional method," Latta said. Earnings reports and social security contributions should be sent with income tax returns to the Internal Reve- nue Service by April 15. Eligibility for social secur- ity benefits is based on the worker's average earnings over a period of years. "The new non-farm option may be used only by people who had net self-employment earnings of $400 or more for at least two out of the three previous years," Latta said. Under the law, the option may be used only five times. "For more information, call, write, or visit any social security office," Latta said. The social security office for this area is located at 1316 Harrison Avenue, Panama City.

By growing a fine lawn, beautiful shrubs and majestic trees you can fight many types of pollution and have fun doing it. A healthy lawn reportedly produces enough oxygen dur- ing the day to support an adult human being. This' same lawn reduces glare and. heat; reduces dust,. prevents erosion and provides a beau- tiful background which accentuates your home and ornamentals. Thus, your lawn reduces thermal, air; water and visual pollution. All you have to do is keep this marvelous anti-pollution device alive and growing well. Flowers, woody ornamen- tals, trees and. turfgrasses have been used for years to improve and beautify un- attractive surroundings, thus reducing visual pollution. These same plantings when properly used as screens and groundcovers significantly reduce noise pollution and air pollution since they control dust by limiting wind erosion. Turfgrasses for home lawns, commerical sites, roadsides, pastures and native range- grasses help minimize water pollution associated with soil erosion. Plants absorb and thus immobilize large quantities of nutrients and some pesti- cides and, therefore, reduce soil and water pollution by such materials. In urban areas and the asphalt shop- ping-centers, plants can be used for shading and greatly lower temperatures-reduc- ing thermal pollution. Ornamental horticulture industries have reduced pol- lution by using waste or by- products to enhance plant growth. Numerous organic wastes are used as fertilizers, soil amendments and mulches. Several chemical by-products are used to im- prove plant ,nutrition. Fiber products from paper indus- tries have found use as media for plant propagation and as mulches which also control weeds. Manures are used for fertilizers and soil amend- ments, for nursery stock. Also, the nursery industry in Florida is, no doubt the lar- gest user of used cans from restaurants and provides a large outlet for used oil cans. Ornamental horticulturists and the ornamental industry has been for many years and will certainly continue to be vitally interested in stopping all types of pollution. Horti- culturists, including you as a home gardener, should con- tinually strive to improve environmental quality by use of plants. These plants are your lawns, flower gardens, parks, roadsides, recreation areas and golf courses. Our objective should be to enhance the beauty and plea- sure people find in their jobs and leisure time while at the same time improve the utili- tarian value of our land- scapes. This objective will inherently deter the deterior- ation of our environment, increase beauty and pleasure for man and generally en- hance our total environment. Plant a plant and prevent pollution.

Parent Night is scheduled for April 8 here at the high school. Parents of students in grades seven 'through nine should come to the school. between 7:30 and 8:30. If you are a parent of a student in grades ten through 12, come between 8:45 and 9:45. Talk- ing with your.child's teacher not only provides you with a good picture of what happens in the classroom, it also shows the child that you care that he receives the best edu- cation possible. Education responsibilities must be shared betweerf parents and teachers. Come on out and see what you can do for your child. ' I am sorry to 'report that the Super Seniors of Seventy- Four ate the dust of the Flabbeigasting. Faculty in the. basketball game last Thursday. The" final score was 26 to 27. So close, yet so far away. Holidays are looming on the horizon of happy events: Spring holidays encompass April 13 through April 21.. I can just feel the sun turning me to a nice shade of scarlet. The prom is this coming weekend-that tradition-filled evening that signifies to, the Senior a passing from stupid kids stuff to stupid young- adult stuff. It's amazing how, similar the two are. I went to the Centennial Building to survey the work- on the decorations last Satur-* day, and I think I can safely say that the Junior Class will have no lack of things to do before 8:30 p.m. on April 6. I have faith in the juniors, though. With Bruce May at the helm of the prom, what have they to fear? Better yet, what have they to lose? The theme of this year's prom is "Moonlight and Roses". It has a rather mel- ancholy ring to it which, ,-despite all the denials of any self-respecting senior, coin- cides with the feeling all of us ihat are about to fly the pro- verbial nest have, "Moonlight and Roses" signifies the end of wine and roses, and the beginning of fulfillment. Janet Murphy won third place in the statewide talent competition at the Future Business Leaders of America state, convention. Congratula- tions, Janet. We're proud of you! There will not be a public "square dance on -April 4. Sorry about that, folks. I just 'got the wrong information last week. Even though spring fever is beginning to make itself felt, there is still another two months of school. That means I get to keep this job for only eight more editions of The Star. iTurn on and tune in next week for more about what's happening in your local halls of learning!! Even A Little Vegetable Garden Can Help Fight Food Costs Want to help to reduce the rising cost of food? Plant a garden, even a small one. Even if your space is limit- ed, a well-tended garden can provide your family with a plentiful supply of tomatoes, corn, pepper, cucumbers, okra, squash, potatoes, and lettuce, says Vegetable Crops Specialist Jim Stephens, with the Florida Cooperative Ex- tension Service. Choose a location for your garden that has full exposure to the sun. For small areas, pick vegetables you like best and those that produce an adequate supply on a few plants, Stephens says. If possible, arrange with your County Extension office for a soil test to determine lime and fertilizer needs.. If the pH is low (acid soil.), apply the recommended amount of lime before pre- paring the soil. It should be mixed in during land prepar- ation.
