Burning Old City Bonds

and Tom Coldee.> and City Clerk Charles Brock enjoyed
themselves last week burning up several old bond issues the
City has been pa ing on for several years. Burned were


The question of ambulance
service for the County hasn't
gone away, even though it
hasn't been discussed for the
past couple of months.
The County Commission
was awakened to this fact
STuesday night when W. P.
Comforter, operator of the
county's ambulance service
/ at the moment told the Board
r his temporary permit expires
SJune 30. Comforter was
.J granted a temporary permit
by the State of Florida to
continue the service through
his funeral home while the
County decided on whether or
not to furnish the service.
State law requires stringent
rules and regulations for
ambulance service now
which make it prohibitive for
Comforter to continue in the
business.
Gulf County now faces two
alternatives: no ambulance
service at all, or the approv-
ed service provided by the
County at tax payer expense.
And expense is the key word
in the Commission's deliber-
ation over the matter. Esti-
mates are that the provision
of the service will cost any-
where from $50,000 to $100,000
a year to meet all rules and
regulations.
Comforter told the Board,
"You had better start think-
ing about this thing, because

after June 30 unless some
special permission is given. I

yond January 1 under, any

Commissioner Lamar Da-
vis suggested the County
place a question on the Sep-
tember primary ballot asking
voters to state whether they
want an ambulance service

special tax assessment to pay
for it. The Board feels it

Head-Knocking Session Clears

Up Some Plant Controversies


Pick Something Soft
If a person has to have an automobile
accident; he' shouldn't go around looking for
something like the City's big truck crane to
run into.


Last Thursday, Daisy Davis smashed
into the hanging bucket of the crane before
she could stop. The only damage was to the
windshield of Mrs. Davis' car and, natural-
ly, to her peace of; mind'. The accident.
occurred near the City warehouse on Fifth

FHA Officials Will Present


Explanation of Funding Act


Local citizens and elected
officials will have an oppor-
tunity to hear a firsthand
explanation of the Rural
Development Act of 1972 and
the various programs it
offers during the week of,
April 22, according to a
release from the office of
Congressman Bob Sikes.
FHA officials will be spend-
ing three days in the Pan-
handle to present the discus-
sion before the citizens of
nine communities in eight
counties. In addition to rural
housing, business -and indus-
trial loans and community


programs, other FHA pro-
grams of interest to our area
will be discussed.
One of the hearings will
be held in Port St. Joe to-
day, Thursday, April 25 at
3:30 p.m. at the Courthouse. 1
Claude L. Green, Jr., State
Director of 'FHA, and FHA
Chiefs John D. Carver, Jr.,
Rural Housing; Charles H.
Little, Business and Indus-
trial; and William W. Wea-
thers, Community Programs
will lead the discussions.
According to Sikes, the
Rural Development Act is


one of the most important
pieces of legislation to our
part of Florida which has
been enacted in recent years.
it provides for loans for
social, cultural and recrea-
tional facilities to public
bodies. Also, loans can be
made for the purpose of
improving, developing or
financing business, industry,
agribusiness and employ-
ment, and improving the
economic and environmental
climate in rural areas. "I
want to strongly urge all
interested citizens and public
officials to attend the meet-
ings," he said.


Strong discussion and fin-
ger pointing characterized a
meeting between the City
Commission and their en-
gineers and contractors con-
cerning the Wastewater
Treatment plant problems
Monday afternoon.
The City Commission has
been disturbed by recurring
troubles in the plant opera-
tion and have been, most
disturbed by a 'leaking eae-
thern dike around the 82
acre aereating pond. The
Commission is afraid the dike
won't hold since considerable
leaks and seepage showed. up
when the pond was partially
filled.
Inspection of the dike was
conducted by experts during
the past week, with the re-
port received at the meeting.
The Orofino Corp., of Tam-
pa reported the seepage was
normal for this type con-
struction and would gradual-
ly stop: The. Orofino report
stated most earthern dikes
usually include clay as part
of the fill, but in this case
only sand was used. Clay will
prevent seepage: sand won't,
the report showed. The. Oro-
fino report advised, filling the
lake with a constant monitor-
ing in case of unexpected
trouble.
Engineers Sverdrup, and
Parcel, Associates, told the
Board their firm would cor-
rect any design mistakes
they have made and will
provide the City a statement
in writing of deficiencies
caused by the contractors.
Upon receipt of the notice,
the Commission will issue a
48-hour ultimatum to the con-
tractor for correction.
The written report is what
the Commission has been
after for the past few weeks
and 'what was apparently
stalled off by the engineers.
The Commission wanted an

and budget needs now facing
the county.
In the meantime, the Board
was scheduled to meet last
night in a special session to
come up with a plan for
operation which would not
require the 16 men mentioned
earlier. Comforter pointed
out he has had about 20 calls
thus far this year, and- the
Board is reluctant to hire
that many men to make five
ambulance runs a month.
The alternative is to go
back to the days of carrying
the injured to the hospital in
cars.
FACE LOSS
The County faces a loss of
$90,000 a year in road repair
and construction revenues
from the State of Florida if
legislation currently before
the House and Senate is
passed changing the formula
for distribution of the seventh
cent gasoline tax.
Currently, the County is
receiving around $200,000
each year for secondary
maintenance and new con-
struction.
The County Commission
joined other counties in pas-
sing a resolution opposing the
legislation.
OTHER BUSINESS
In other items of business,
the Board:
-Agreed to support full
state funding of the Re-
gional Library system. Mrs.
Patton said the State approp-
riated $3.5 million for librar-
ies last year and spent only
$525,000. Gulf County receiv-
ed only $1,793 in state funds
last year.
-Accepted ,a bid of $265.00
from Robert Nobles to pur-
chase a surplus 115 horse
power outboard motor from
the Sheriff's Department.
-Accepted a bid of $15.00
from James McClellan *for
two walkie talkie radios con-
fiscated by the Sheriff's De-
partment.'
-Awarded a bid of $1,-
299.90 to Burford Equipment
Co., of Marianna to make
repairs to a Mosquito Control
tractor.
-Received bids on fire
equipment for the White City
Fire Department but delayed
award of the bid until they
can be studied.

-Gave Mosquito Control
supervisor Emmett Daniell
permission to advertise for a
tractor and bush hog.
-Agreed to pledge up to
$20,000 per year from the
Secondary Road fund to guar-
antee repayment of bonds to
build a toll bridge across the
Apalachicola River at the end
of State Road 22. The pledge
was made provided Liberty
County, across the River,.
would also pledge funds for
this reason.

Cradle to Grave


There's an interesting article in
the April issue of Readers' Digest
concerning the socialist .style of
living in Sweden. Sweden is the
most affluent of the European
nations and is second only to the
United States in gross national
product per capital.
Citizens of the nation enjoy
some of the largest government
subsidies of any- nation in the
world. A mother is paid a certain
amount when a child is born and so
much per day for a' period of time.
A person off work receives 90
percent of his salary for six months
until he can get back to work.
There are no slums. Everyone lives
in adequate and substantial hous-
ing. Nobody pays a hospital bill.
Social security is provided for
retirees and all is seemingly pea-
ches and cream.
SAll may seem like peaches and
cream, but the Swedes are rebell-
ing against this utopia. Does this
seem possible? Here you have a

Some Swedes are taxed at a
rate of up to 92 percent in direct
and hidden taxes. The lowest tax
rate is 45 percent, half again as

There 'is a moral here. We can

not a financial care to the world. It

The decision we must make is
whether we wish to spend all we
make on the type life we choose or
if we should spend all we make on
the type life the government choos-

hard a decision for independent
thinking Americans to make. Still,
there is a vocal corps of those who
would have us follow in the steps of

Holmes County Advertiser
One of the nice things about
being the editor of a small
town newspaper is that every
time a politician comes to
town, he feels a compulsion
to come in and say hello.
I was a bit startled Tues-
day morning, however, when
Lt. Gov. Tom Adams came
into The Advertiser office
and announced that he "Just


wanted to stop by and visit
with you good. folks for a
minute."
"This is the first time in
.3/2 years that I've been in a
newspaper office," Adams
said, apparently referring to
the fact that he had not been
on the political trail since he
ran on the -team with Gov.
Reubin Askew in 1970.
A lot of things have hap-


opened to Adams since 1970,
one of which is that Gov.
Askew has announced that
Adams will not be on the
team when he runs this year.
Adams may form a team of-
his own, though: and instead .
of running with Askew, he
may be running against him.
That is no doubt the reasb1i'

Ode to Wandell


Reubin Pierre Bradford
(1873 1946 A.D.)
Gather round friends and I will tell
About a man from Carrabelle.
He left the town of Sparta, which is in old Tennessee
And told his pair of mules just when they had to haw and
gee.
He always spoke in a cool calm .way
And never did holler what he had to say.
He crossed into Georgia and headed south
And hit St. Marks, near the river mouth.
He sold his team and I've heard him tell
Of the long walk west into Carrabelle.
He liked the town and there he stayed
In a fine old house with a fair young maid.
He packed a forty-five within the holster on his belt
And fought and served his time with Teddy Roosevelt.
And when they sunk the battleship named for the state of
Maine
He charged up on old Kettle Hill and rode back down
again..
The town folk always liked this man and he liked them all
too
They pinned a star 'upon his breast when he had fair said
"I do"
They knew they had a marshall who was fearless, fair and
clam.
And could, when necessary, hold a pistol in his palm.
And when he went a-huriting, he would use his ten gauge
gun
And share his game with all his friends and never killed for
fun.
He was'a friend of one and all; black, white and young and
old
The many favors tliat he did have never been told.
I'll bring this portion to an end, and on some later date
Will write some more about this man of destiny and fate.

LETTERS
to the

EDITOR

Dear Sir:
For nearly a year now,
since ,Watergate, we have
been treated to an expose of
sin and wrongdoing both pub-'
lic and private, and, had it
reviewed loudly and clearly
for us in minute detail by the
various media. On the other
hand, I wonder how many of
us are even aware, due to
lack of publicity, that our so
oft demeaned public servants
have issued a call for prayer
and reparation to God for
those very offenses and any
others for which we as a
nation are guilty. Where are
all the headlines, editorials
and other ballyhoo now,
when they might do some
good
good?
And yet, it's true. On
December 20, 1973, the
Senate. of the United Stiaes


ing Askew a landslide victory
over former Gov. Claude
Kirk.
Following their inaugura-
tion, Askew gave Adams a
very meaningful job as head
,of the Department of Com-
merce. Since that time how-
ever, Adams has come under
increasing fire for the way he
handled his personal political
finances and for using state
employees to work on his
farm, and Gov. Askew has
shunted him aside.
It may be that Askew
would welcome 'the Adams
candidacy in the' democratic
primary for governor this
year. A lot of people who
might agree with Adams poli-
tical philosophy would find it


I did something Wednesday I very rarely
do. I took the "afternoon off and went to
Tallahassee with Sheriff Raymond Lawrence--
as a willing guest-not the other type. Ray-
mond was going to Tallahassee to join with
other Sheriff's about the state to oppose several
bills which were coming up before the Legis-
lature. To oppose the bills they got the key
Legislators in a meeting room in one of the
Tallahassee motels and made their wishes
known. 'Then they fed them a huge seafood
supper out' at the Fairgrounds that evening;
which I helped to eat.
Raymond wanted company to Tallahapsee
and back so he took me, Tom Knox, Emmett
Daniell and Lavernon Lanieir of Wewahitchka.
With' Tom Knox and Lavernon Lanier in the
car, Raymond, nor anyone else had time to get
lonesome on the drive to the Capitol and back.
Those two can keep a conversation going.
We had the paper all made up, ready to go
to the dark room at 1:00 p.m., so I wrote the
heads for the stories and took off, leaving the
crew to finish the paper. They seemed right
glad to get rid of me.


While we were waiting in line for- the fish
supper out at the Fairgrounds Wednesday
evening, we started talking about Christian.
Emmett said it looked for certain as if he was
going 'to be indicted. When he made the
statement a tall elderly fellow standing beside
us remarked, "Yes, they indicted him just a
while ago on 19 counts." Somebody said, "It
couldn't happen to a nicer fellow" and this tall
elderly stranger countered with, "He is a fine
fellow. I taught him freshman football at the
University of Florida."
No matter what the question, you can
always get two opinions.


Also, while in Tallahassee, Tom Adams
introduced me to his child bride.
All the newspapers are buzzing with the
rumor that Adams may announce his candi-
dacy for Governor in the near future. One of
the favorite editorial subjects these days is
speculating what this decision will be.
You can say you are in the know about this
subject, now. You can say you saw it in The
Star first. Adams said at the fish fry last
Wednesday to any individual who would listen
that he is going to run for Governor.
Now, when the announcement is made, you
won't be surprised that Reubin has an oppo-
nent the same person who many credit with
electing Askew'.
Adams has crossed many spots of rough
water since that point in time four years ago. It
remains, to' be seen whether Athe old vote
magnet has gone dead or if it still attracts the
voters in necessary numbers.


passed a bill proposed by
Senator Mark Hatfield, nam-
ing Tuesday, April 30, 1974 as
a National Day of Humilia-
tion, Prayer and Fasting. The
resolution calls on citizens to
acknowledge their depend-
ence on the power of God, to
confess their sins, and stand
before their Lord knowing
that genuine repentance will
lead to mercy and pardon.
Shouldn't we as Christians
rise to the occasion? Here, is
a chance for all of us who
call ourselves Christians and

hard to vote for a man who
has been the recipient of so
much favorable publicity.
Askew could probably defeat
Adams without much trouble
in the Democratic primaries,
thus leaving himself in a
good position financially and
in terms of party harmony to
take on the Republican candi-
date in the general election.
When Reubin stops by, I'll
ask him if that is his plan.


who, perhaps, are wont to
stand around and wring our
hands at the terrible state of
things and perhaps, speculate
on the impending wrath of
God, to join together and turn
aside that wrath by our pray-
ers and reparation. What a
marvelous thing if from
churches and homes all over
this nation there were to
arise a massive chorus of
prayer imploring God's
mercy, forgiveness and guid-
ance for this great country of
ours!
Sincerely,

cent tax credit on the cash
wages paid to the employee
during the first 12 months of
employment. Offices and.
functions of local government
are offered other benefits for
public service employment.
One of the best opportuni-
ties available to qualified
young people is Job Corps.

available through the Em-
ployment Service, a school
dropout between the ages of

Reports
Are Due
Quarterly wage reportsand
social security contributions
for household workers are
due by April 30, according to
Robedit Latta, Social Security
Representative for Gulf
County.
"People who pay a- house-
hold worker $50 or more in
cash wages in any three-
month calendar quarter must
send a report of the wages,
along with the social security
contribution, to the Internal
Revenue Service within one
month after the end of the
quarter," Latta said.
- Quarters are January-Feb-
ruary-March, April-May-
June, July-August, Septem-.
ber, and October-November-
December. Wage reports and
social security contributions
for the first quarter of 1974
are due by April 30.
People who employ house-
hold workers may file the
wage report on a form avail-
able at any Internal Revenue
Service Office, "Employer's
Quarterly Tax Return for
Household Employees (for
Social Security)."
The 1974 social security
contribution for a household
employee is 5.85 per cent of
covered wages.: and the
employer pays a matching
amount. "some household
employers may prefer to pay
the full 11.7 per cent contribu-
tion," Latta said, "and this is
also acceptable."
Social security contribu-
tions help build retirement,
disability, survivors, and
Medicare protection for
workers and their families.
People who employ household
workers can get a free copy
of the leaflet, "Social Secur-
ity and Your Household Em-
ployee,"' at Panama City
social security office at 1316
Harrison Avenue, Latta said.

The Florida State Employ-
ment Service office, located
at 401 Long Avenue, is
designed to serve the employ-
ment needs of both employ-
ers and job applicants in Gulf
and Franklin Counties,
according to Wesley W. Ches-
nut, recently appointed to
operate the local office on a
full-time basis. He is assisted
by Miss Laverne Murray, a
Neighborhood Youth Corps.
enrolle.
The adapted mobile home
facility on Long Avenue
offers area residents the full
services of the State Employ-
ment Service as a branch of
the larger Panama City
office. Application intake, job
counseling, vocational apti-
tude and interest testing, and
job referral all are offered in
the local center, designed to
extend greater employment
opportunity to rural counties.
A micro-film viewer in the
office allows a job-seeker to
review all available listed
jobs in the area from Perry
to Pensacola, which are up-
dated daily. Additionally, an
applicant can consider posi-
tions which are advertised
state-wide. As a State
Government service, there is
no charge to either applicants
or employers for any service.
Chesnut stated that pre-
sently there are few job list-
ings. in the Gulf-Franklin
area, due partially to a tight

employment situation here.
"However,'' he added,
"local employers are begin-
ning to use the Employment
Service for its obvious bene-
fits to them, and this should
result in more local listings."
When there is a job open-
ing, an employer simply des-
cribes the job and the type
applicant he is seeking. The
Employment Service then
reviews the qualifications of
the applicants, giving them
standardized tests when
necessary to determine levels
of proficiency.
The office then refers only
the best qualified applicants
to the employer for his
review and selection. Natur-
ally, the employer is not
bound to accept any of the
referrals made by the
Employment Service but is
supplied by the office with
qualified applicants, which he
might not get merely by
placing a sign in the window
for "Help Wanted". Local
employers can call Mr. Ches-
nut for further information at
229-1812.
A special incentive to
employers is the Work Incen-
tive-Jobs Optional Program
(WIN-JOP), designed to ease
public assistance recipients
into good full-time jobs.
Under the program, an
employer is reimbursed up to
50 per cent of the starting
salary during the training

"Navy trdiining: Students like it.


Parents like it. I recommend it."

You know the student who needs a little more
time to mature.
Who isn't quite ready to choose a career or go
J to college. Who might benefit from a different kind
of challenge.
This is the youngster the Navy may be able
to help.
Miss Sanders told us, "I think the Navy offers
Ba young man some very fine job training in many
different areas. If he decides to go back into civilian
life, he can convert the Navy-learned skill into a
constructive civilian job:'
But don't get the impression just anyone can get into the Navy. Our new
standards are higher than ever, and every beginner
still has his share of housekeeping chores.
For your students who do qualify, there's a
choice of over 70 skill areas. From air traffic control,
computers and photography to jet mechanics,
construction and machine shop.
Miss Sanders also said, "I think that in the .
Navy a young person,'male or female, is presented B
with a fine opportunity to make the most of his or
her potential and ability."
We couldn't agree more. The Navy gives
your students a head start on a lifelong and satisfying'
career. Plus a chance
!to be someone special, to
; I see the world, to make good friends and
wonderful memories.
If you want some help in answering your
students' questions about the Navy, send for our
booklet, "Navy Training/Civilian Careers."
Just mail the attached postage-free card. Or
call, toll-free, 800-841-8000, and ask for the Guidance
Counselor Desk.
Or contact your local Navy Recruiter.
Recommend the Navy. Miss Sanders does.
S\', Your students and their parents will thank you for it.

Help your students be someone specially.

15. This year there are five
teams in the league: A&N
Railroad, Player's Supermar-
ket, Sears, St. Joe Telephone

The league is attempting to
make some improvements at
the ball park this year. A new
backstop has been erected
and new dug outs are under
construction. Also, the
bleachers are to be repaired
and painted and a score
board added. The city and its
maintenance crew has hauled
in sand and mixed it with the
clay on the infield,, which
should turn the rainwater to
keep the infield from becom-
ing boggy. d
The new president of the
league is Deomes Aplin, and
he extends a welcome to the
public to come out and enjoy
all the games. The concession
stand is open under the
supervision of Mrs. Nancy
Mock; .

begin at 7:00, and the second
at 8:30. There will be only

compost is used as the soil
surface as a mulch to control
weeds and conserve mois-

compost with soil and use it
for potting plants.,
"How do you build a com-
post pile?" Well, it's fairly
simple and summer is a good
time to begin because high
quality compost can be made
in a short time during hot
months. Here are a few sim-
ple steps to follow: (1) use
only organic materials such
as grass clippings, leaves,
kitchen wastes or light prun-
ing; woody materials are
very slow to rot; (2) if possi-
ble, shred materials, but it is
not, essential; (3) you may

Homeowners and garden-
ers can make a real contri-
bution to ecology by compost-
ing their garden residue,
grass clippings, leaves and
some household wastes.
Through composting, the
large volume-of organic trash
being handled by garbage
pickup could be reduced con-
siderably and, at the same'
time, a good source of
organic matter can be pro-
duced for the home land-
scape. -
Compost can be used sev-
eral ways. It provides usable
soil amendment for the gar-
den and is certainly much
less expensive than peat.
Incorporated into the soil or
' around plants it is beneficial
in improving soil tilth, friabi-
lity, waterhi0olding capacity

Join Millions of Americans
in Prayer on April 30
Our country faces crisis. Our nation
needs a moral and spiritual awakening.
If ever we need to pray it is now.
Support the U.S. Senate
call to prayer
"The Congress hereby proclaims that
April 30, 1974 be a National Day of
Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer; and
calls upon the people of our nation to
humble ourselves as we see fit, before
our Creator to acknowledge our final
dependence upon Him and to repent of
our national sins:'
This is the first time the United States
Senate has taken such a historic step
since confirming President Abraham
Lincoln's Call to Prayer in 1863.
Here is God's Promise!
"If my people who are called by my
name shall humble themselves and
pray, and seek my face and turn from
their wicked ways, then will I hear
from heaven, will forgive their sins,
and will heal their land" (II Chronicles
7:14).
God wants to change the hearts of men
and women. He wants to mend broken
families. He wants to turn suspicion,
hate, discord into love, forgiveness, har-
mony. God wants to give our nation
a new birth of faith and freedom!
God is able-if we will turn from our-
selves, look to Him and pray!
On April 30 millions will be joining
together to pray for change. Millions
will be praying for a moral and spirit-
ual awakening in our country and in
the world. You can join them!

presence in mind and heart. (I Timothy

love where we live, work, play and
worship (Colossians 1:9-12; Philip-
pians 4:6, 7).

Gates Arrive

for Installation

at Dead Lakes

Work should be completed within
a month on the $350,000 installation to
lower the water in the Dead Lakes at
Wewahitchka, according to the con-
tractor doing the job.
The gates were scheduled to be
completed last fall, but bad weather;
shortages of material and labor have
delayed the project time and again.
Recently, the gates which would
shut off the flow of water through the
spillway were delivered and were
nearly two inches too wide. They had
to be sent back for re-making. Now
the correct gates have been delivered
and. should be installed within the
next couple of weeks. The approach to
the gates will then be dug and the
Dead Lakes may be drawn down,
when the Apalachicola River allows,
exposing weeds and underwater
growth to the sunlight. The exposure
to the sun is supposed to kill the
weeds and their roots, keeping the
Lakes clear of the choking weeds
which have been multiplying since the
dam was built several years ago.
The top photo shown here, shows
the structure where the gates will be
installed. This installation runs under
the road which crosses the Lakes at
til dam site. The gates will cover the
huge holes shown. The lower photo
shows the approach to the gates,
which will be dug out after the gates
are installed..
The project is being financed
jointly by the Game aqd Fresh Water
Fish Commission, the Department of
Conservation and a loan from a
Federal agency, which will be repaid
with the sale of fishing permits for
the lakes.

NOTES

from the
Port St. Joe

High School

CARL GUILFORD, JR.


Post-spring vacation school
started on a good note with
the super Shark baseball
team bringing home the West
Coast Conference Champion-
ship for the second time in a
row. The deciding victory
was over Chipley, with a
score of 16-0. Congratulations
to the entire team, and espec-
ially to Kenneth Weimorts for
his grand slam.
While the baseball team
was playing games in Talla-
hassee, the Quiz Bowl team
was playing a game of "bat-
tling brains" in Panama City.
The Quiz Bowl competitors
from St. Joe didn't do quite
so well as our baseball team,
however. We suffered a 245-
105 defeat at the hands of
Bay High School's best, and
believe me, they are good.
Whether or not they are the
best will be decided in a
series of play-offs, which will
be televised.
Even though I keep telling
myself that it's not winning
or losing that counts, but how
one plays the game, I keep
coming back to the fact that
we lost. There is one consola-
tion: my Saturday schedule
isn't going to be messed up
anymore. But then, when you
consider my Saturday sche-
dule ...
Seniors who are planning to
continue their formal educa-
tion have a lot to do before
graduation. There are forms
to fill out, colleges and uni-
versities to contact, questions
to be asked and answers to
be found. It's like being
caught in a tidal wave of
papers! June fourth, that
light at the end of the pro-
verbial tunnel, it THE date
for Seniors. A time machine
would be nice right about
now.
Next week is Sadie Haw-
kins week. Activities have
been planned to celebrate


this annual school event and,
although nothing is final,
there will probably be at
least one unusual facet for
every day of the week. The
clincher is a dance to be held
May 4, admission $1.50 per
person, in the high school
commons area. The dance
will be sponsored by your
friendly neighborhood Stu-
dent Council. It will be from
8:00 p.m. to midnight, which
is a heavy workout if you
dance every dance.
Many congratulations,
Anita Mamoran, for achiev-
ing national recognition of
your poetry!
This week is National Lib-
rary Week. Everyone is en-
couraged .to travel and exper-
ience another life via books,
films, cassettes, and all kinds
of modern equipment avail-
able through the library. I
checked out a book once. I
think I'll do it again just to
celebrate National Library
Week.
The Senior .Class of Port St.
Joe High School is sponsoring
a dance Friday night, from
8:00 to 12:00 in the high
school commons area.
Admission will be $1.50 per
person. All proceeds are go-
ing for graduation expenses,
which are out of this world.


H.L. Cook

Is Taken

by Death
Herbert Lee (Hub) Cook,
74, of Carrabelle,. died April
11 in Carrabelle. He was a
lifetime resident of Carra-
belle and a Franklin County
Commissioner for 30 years.
He was';a member of the

and Florida Sheriff's Boys'
Ranch.
Survivors include one

The funeral was held April
14 at 3 p.m. in the Carrabelle
Baptist church and interment
followed in the Evergreen
Cemetery of Carrabelle with
the Rev. J. C. Doss officiat-
ing.

Everyone please come out
and enjoy yourself. Boogie
with your baby. Support the
Senior Class of '74 and have
fun doing it.
One correction of last
week's article: Danny Raf-
field is not in the Coast
Guard, but is an employee of
Raffield Fisheries. Inc.
Every week is a celebra-
tion. Every, week a star
shines on Port St. Joe-The
Star. I'll try to help it shine
with my own little candle-
power of notes. Read on and
see the light!

The U.S.A. adopted abor-

mously.
Comm. Davis reported that
Charles Gaskin, Architect, is
now making plans for a build-
ing to house the Civil Defense
generator; that he has
located 25,000 brick that
match the brick at the Court-
house and Jail that can be.
purchased at this t4ne for the
sum of $1,950.00, a savings of
$500.00 over the regular
price. He recommended that
the County purchase these
brick because they will be
needed in the new building;
that future delivery of special
order brick will require six to
eight months delivery. After
discussion and being advised
that brick people will not bid
to sell to counties because of
the great back-log of orders,
there was a motion by
Comm. Graham, seconded by
Comm. Whitfield and unani-

place an order for the brick,
to be paid for from Federal
Revenue Sharing Funds.
There being no'further bus-

adjourned.


Germany erected the first
gas-chambers. Pediatricians
first did away with defective
children. Later they put to
death children who were bed-
wetters, who had misshaped
ears, learning disabilities,
etc.
Later the old age homes
were cleaned out. Private
homes were invaded and
elderly people who were get-
ting a little forgetful were
taken away. All the WWI
amputees were also done
away with.
Then Hitler took over the
gas-chambers. He killed off
all the Gypsies on the Ger-
man countryside. And more
than six million Jews.
The U.S.A. sat in judgment
over the Germans at the
Nuremberg Trials. A con-
demned and anguished Nazi
judge said, "I never knew it
would come to this". The
American judge answered
simply, "It came to this the
first time you condemned an
innocent life."
Abortion came to Ger-
many. Now it is here. Do we
turn back? Or what country
will sit over us at the Wash-
ington Trials? But do not
worry. By then they will have
done away with you.
