M * THIRTY-SEVENJTH YEAR. NUMBER-34 Industry Deep Water Port Fine People-' Safest Beaches in Florida PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA. THURSDAY. MAY 2, 1974 Big Week End of Activity Looking for Something to Do? You'll Find It in Port St. Joe ... :. If a fellow was looking for some- thing to do, he should be able to find it. this -week end in Port St. Joe. Start a full week end of activity beginning today with the annual Side- walk Sale of Port St. Joe merchants. The annual event, first held in the area here in Port St. Joe, will be in progress today through Saturday, with many downtown merchants par- ticipating in the promotion.. Be sure to browse through the 12 page tabloid inserted in this week's issue of The Star to get the real deals being offered in the Sidewalk Sale Saturday will be the big day, though. Not only will the Sidewalk Sale be ,in its last and probably biggest day, but a number ,.f events will be taking place to allow most everyone to enjoy themselves be- tween shopping spurts. Beginning at 7:00 a.m., Saturday, .the Kiwanis Club will open their Pancake Store at the corner of Fifth Street and Reid Avenue and will be cooking up < pancakes and serving them with sausage, bacon, syrup, coffee and cold drinks until 7:00 p.m. In addition to the big pancake sales, entertainment will be provided by the Kiwanis. They have rented the facilities of Station WJOE and will be doing the broadcasting until 2:00 p.m. The "entertainment" will be attempts of some of the Kiwanians to be "radio personalities". More entertainment will be pro- vided by the Port St. Joe High School hand, elee club and junior high choir, which will begin furnishing music about 11:00 and continue through the noon hour. At the noon ,hour, a sky diver will do his thing, landing, hopefully, in the vacant lot across Fifth Street from the pancake sale site.. The entertainment schedule will be sort of crowded from 11:00 to 1:00, since the Lions Club begins its Spring Horse Show at:-11:00 a.m. and contin- ues through 28 big events, which should occupy most of the afternoon. The Lions offer their horse show twice each year, and attract huge crowds and some fine horsemanship from the North Florida, South Ala- bama and Georgia area. So if you're tired of the same old grind, just come to downtown Port St. Joe this week efid shop a while, eat pancakes, listen to the good music, thrill as the sky diver does his free- fall before pulling the ripcord at the last minute, and watch the trained horses carry their riders through intricate events. Jim McNeill receives check from Mrs. purchase of Guidance Clinic building. Purvis Howell and Dr. Wayne Conger for Gulf Co, Guidance- Clinic Purchases Building for Permanent Office Space I - . -i1 *l , Construction Started On Vocational School Construction work is well underway oh the Port St. Joe Hy S-r v ho.S i property on construc- .tion of the' first phase of a Vocational Educational complex. In the photo above, the floor has been poured and steel uprights placed into position. The work is being done by the Flagala Corporation at a total cost of $169,000 for the building structure. The construction is being paid for on a 50-50 basis by the State Education Department and Gulf County. According to Superintendent of Schools', David Bidwell, the program is expected to be in operation in its new building in September. Included in the program will be auto body repair and eibig instruction courses. Board to Put Ambulance Plan Before the People The Gulf County Commis- sion worked 'out a plan for ambulance service- a spe- cial meeting last Wednesday night and decided to put the issue before the people in the next primary election. The Board unanimously agreed to ask the people to make a choice in the Sep- tember 10 primary election at which time the voters will be asked to approve a special 1V/ mill assessment for the' service over and above the 10 mill cap limit set by the State of Florida. The Board is thinking in the terms of an ambulance budget service of approximately $100,000 per year, which will be produced by the 1% mill tax. Law Day Observance Set in Gulf Schools Students in American Gov- ernmentclasses, Port St. Joe High and Wewahitchka High,. will be observing Law Day on May 3 at the Gulf County Courthouse. During the morning the classes will tour the facility and learn the functions of the various offices housed in the courthouse complex. In the afternoon the state attorney and the public defender, as-, .sisted by students from each high school, will hold court and try a hypothetical crim- inal case. These activities have been arranged by Judge Robert M. Moore, who has planned Gulf's observance of Law Day, a state-wide event, and approximately 150 seniors and juniors will be participat- ing. Basically, the plan would set up fees to be 'charged to those using the ambulance service, with the county pick-. ing up the tab for those who cannot pay. The Commission's plan calls for the purchase of three ambulance vehicles which will cost in the neigh- borhood of $18,000 each, plac- ing one in Port St. Joe, one in Wewahitchka and one vehicle for stand-by. The Board plans to employ ambulance attend- ants or seek contract opera- tors. Art Classes Staging Show The Art classes of Port St. Joe High School will stage an outdoor show at the City Park behind Fla. First National Bank. The show will take place this Saturday, May 4, from 10:00 a.m. till four p.m. and will exhibit drawings, crafts and cera- mics. The Gulf County Gqidafice fironahii.d the purchase of a building on Tuesday of this week purchasirg, tlhe build- ing no%., occupied by the Sahlatr'n Army Stire- on' WiF liams Avenue. ' The new site for the mental health clinic was purchased from Indian Pass Develop- ment Company and renova- tion will be started as soon as bids are received and con- tracts awarded for the work. The Clinic has plans of open- ing up in the new site on September 1 of this year. Mrs. Purvis Howell, vice president of the. Guidance Clinic finalized the purchase of a building on Tuesday of this week, purchasing the building now occupied by the Clinic presented the check for resenting the owning firm, Tuesday atiternoon when the deal was official finalized. The Clinic has been nego- tiating for the building for some time, but ability to purchase hinged on receipt of a federal grant. The grant finally came through with the Federal Government paying 90 percent of the purchase price and renovation cost. The remainder is being fi- nanced by the Gulf County Commission and the Guid- ance Council. Bidwell said application has already been made for a second matching grant for another .building section. The prop,/sAd rw. jr, would house the present vocational subjects being taught in the high school. "Our plans are then to put the Junior High grades in the space now being used by .:,.a\\ .al education", Bidwell said. Body of King r Recovered front The body of King David Bruton, age 52, of Panama City was recovered from De- pot Creek early Sunday mor- ning, according to Gulf Coun- ty Sheriff Raymond Law- rence. Last Rites for Willie Wright Willie Wright, 72, of 406 Hodrick St., Port St. Joe, died Tuesday, April 23. He was a retired employee of St. Joe Paper Company and was a member of the New Bethel AME Church. Survivors include his wife, Mrs. Willie Ola Wright, Port St. Joe; a, son, Russell Wright, Los Angeles, Calif.; six step children and six grandchildren; his mother, Mrs. Mary Wright, Port St. Joe. Funeral services were held Saturday, April 27 at 2 p.m. at the New Bethel AME Church, with the Rev. S. Jones officiating. Interment followed in the family plot of Forest Hills Cemetery. )avid Bruton n Depot Creek Last Thursday the Sheriff's office was notified by Odena Tower that a man had come by and reported that he was on a small boat with Bruton and that they were both thrown into the water after an attempt was made to start the motor while it was in gear. The second man, Au- ther McCoy, age 45, also of Panama City managed to make it back to shore as Bruton went under for the last time. Members of the Sheriff's Department, Sheriff's Auxil- iary, Civil Defense and Ma- rine Patrol, as well as the Game and Fish Commission participated in patrol and dragging operations for 67 continuous hours. Bruton was finally brought to the surface from the dragging operation shortly after 9 a.m. Sunday. Sheriff Lawrence pointed out that many men worked long hours without pay in the operation to assist the limited manpower resources of the law enforcement staffs in the recovery operation.

Big Fire Scorches Acreage A sizeable forest fire cov- ered the Southern section of the City in a pall of wood smoke Saturday afternoon, late, and Sunday morning, as fire raged through a thick woods behind the Port St. Joe High School. According to Fire Chief Bascom Hamm, the blaze started alongside the Long Avenue extension, and raced east ahead of a stiff wind toward Ward Ridge. Progress of the fire was slowed some by the port St. Joe, Highland View and White City Fire Departments, and by a creek running through the area. Forestry service crews arrived and cut a fire line around the area to stop the progress of the fire. The smoke continued to smo- ther the area as the blaze worked itself into the mucky ground. The fire was still smoulder- ing Monday, but appeared to have gone out Tuesday.

SAmbulance Service Needs Studv The, County Commissioners have a real knotty problem in the question of ambulance service for t he County. 2 The state has set standards for a ambulances and operators which ; requires two-man trained crews on .. 24-hour basis to operate approved velhfcles with radio communica- S tions.

Ii ,rins to us the only.practi. tul a.i-ll;fien for Gulf County would be to work the program ihroiugh the shviiHi', Department, i" i, I.-y decide to -go into the S !igpi',orn at all. An extra man or two with a training lIrj.a,m111 for all Ieputies would put the service in mr the hands of a department already operated on a 24-hour basis. Too, emergency calls usually get to the Sheriff's Department about as quickly as they get anywhere. The department already has the radio equipment on hand to meet that criteria. In Port St. Joe, an earnest effort could be tried to. locate a vehicle at the Municipal Hospital .and let the trained personnel al- ready there man the service. W. P. Comforter, who is in the ambulance service now, but not for much longer, says he averages about five calls a month. No more activity. than this would not cause a hardship to personnel in the Sher- iff's Department or the Hospital. Tin.: big expense then would be to purchase the necessary vehicles.- vehicles. The Corrrission -is thinking along the lri;i of w need for three vehicles, but again, the limited use would cause a third or back-up vehicle, to atrophy with non-use and would be a waste of money. Whatever they do, we hope the County Commission gives the prob- lem some long hard thought and can come up a solution we can live with. Disclosure Bill It looks like the Governor's move to require those in public .rfirt.. to disclose their financial conections and worth will become law. ' We can go along .with the thinking behind the reason for wanting the bill, but it hardly st..i,, f.iri to us to require a person rtiiminig friii political office to bare his private business for the world E We feel that in this .day and time, there is a fairly effective watchdog capability for the public. servant who would err to insure fairly honest government. We do- not feel that any budding or vet- eian public servant who is deter- mfined to make a dishonest buck will be deterred by the public disclosure law. He will merely lie about it as all crooks do. We don't Ilunk there will be a single soul Who will declare .he is seeking The Firefighters Womans Auxiliary of Mexico Beach met recently at the Town HAll.

The bill, in our opinion, will not serve to remove any dishonesty from government but will serve as a very real deterrent to many ,;h0v. ,..,. fine public servants, to be reluctant to run simply because he doesn't want his business to be common knowledge of everyone. We think the harm the bill will do will far. ouiv .igh the good, Many businessmen who would make ex'ell'ent' government offi- cials. sriwplh dqn't want their conm- petition tg know what they are doing in business matters. Most men of government cali- ber are basically honest. If they're not, the voter has an uncanny way of casting suspicious. The Bay County Fireman's Association will hold their May meeting at the Mexico Beach fire house on May 23. The ladies have been asked to help sponsor a fish fry. Final plans will be made at the May 6 meeting. The Firefighters Auxiliary plans a white elephant sale for the Ling Ding Fiesta, June 8.

Say: Murder Rate Increases As Death Penalty Curbed This week in Ogden, Utah, five persons were tied up in a record shop by two robbers, The victims were forced to drink acid and one had a pen kicked into-his ear drum. All were shot in the head and three of the five died. That is not nice reading, It is also disturbing to read about young girls and boys being abused, and killed, at times with their bodies being thrown into garbage dumps. The victims of these parti- cularly heinous crimes are not organized. They became victims suddenly. They had no choice. The only associa- tion they have with each other after the fact is as common statistics in crime reports. These statistics have been growing alarmingly in the last ten years and the official response to the increase has-i-n some respects-been to decrease the protection available to potential victims. The perpetrators of the crimes, on the other hand, have society to blame and plenty of support for their Sociologists agonize over them and suggest new pro- grams to help them. Televis- ion ciews swarm about them to film "specials" on their plight. Millions of dollars of public funds are spent in attempts to help them. The courts are open to their pleadings. Free legal help is made available. Nothing can be done for the victims in their graves, it is reasoned, but something can be done for the perpetrators who survive. But the cold fact is society could have done something for at least some of 'the victims. It could have struc- tured a code of justice that takes heinous crime seriously enough to make potential perpetrators know that the consequences .can be awe- some. It could retain the death penalty as an ultimate wea- pon against heinous crime- not in a spirit of vengeance but rather as a protection against heinous crime. The argument that the death penalty is not a deter-' rent to cold-blooded, premed- itated murder flies in the face of common sense. And it also flies in the face of some impressive statistics. The murder rate in the United States remained remarkably constant through the 1930's, the 1940's, the 1950's and the first few years of the decade of the Sixties. From 1965 onward the mur- der curve has been .an up- ward spiral and has now more than doubled in the relatively short span of eight years. It was 9,280 in 1965 compared to about 19,500 in 1973. The death penalty was sparingly used in the years from 1960 through 1964 but it still existed as a credible deterrent. There was always a long shot chance that a person convicted of cold blooded murder, single or mass, would be executed. In 1960, there were 56 exe- cutions in the United States; in 1961, there were 42; in 1962 there were 47; in 1963. there were 21; in 1964 there were 15' and in 1965 there were seven. You'd hardly know it, but Port St. Joe is right in the middle of an election campaign. Tuesday, May 14, the voters will go the polls to elect a new City Commissioner. Hardly a word has been spoken on the street about the campaign, but there is one going on. ,'. er the past few years, there has been little enthusiasm generated in the Ctl elec- tions, which bears out the fact the people are 41tishied with the way the City is being run or i'- .don't care. The first reason is mine. I think the City's business is carried out in a very capable manner. This year we have one Cominnisioiier stepping down. George Wimberly, Jr., is not going to seek re-election. This prompted Paul Ramne and Gerald Sul1i\ an to qualify for the post. There is an important question to be voted on besides the choice of a Commissioner. The alcoholic beverage merchants want your opin- ion on three questions .li\ have posed to the OCity Commission. They want to know if you favor- Su i'.l Sales of' beer and wine by grocers; Sunday afternoon and night open-inig of bar rooms and the third question would pose the question of allowing bar rooms to stay open until 1.:00 a.m. Monday through Saturday as they are allowed to do outside the city limits. This doesn't mean the City Commission will vote as the straw ballot' is cast, but they will at least know your thline, about the three matters ltf'i rs.they do make their decision to leave the sales hours as they are, or allow one or more of the petitions for extra hours as posed by the bar operators. I thought you might like to know the champion tobacco juice spitter won the title in Arkansas last week with a squirt of 19 feet and two inches. It's a pity our champions couldn't enter the contest, but they were tied up in a baseball tournament here in Port St. Joe, which Port St. Joe won, defeating Carter-Parramore -and Chattahoochee. The umpire at the game called a Shark runner out rather than call a balk on the pitcher in an attempted double steal from first and third base and Kesley Cilbwrf. easily bested the 19 hi'--t wo inches with a spltter when the ump rkviJ that thumb up in the air. Maybe next year, we'll give those Arkan- sawyers come real competition to shoot at. It's funny how different events fall into place at times,- A couple of weeks ago, George Tapper made the prediction that Governor Reubin Askew would be the next president of the United States. Even with George's acknow- ledged knowledge of politics, hardly anyone believed him. After all, Askew would have to get the Democratic nomination first, and there is Teddy Kennedy standing in the wings with .his track shoes saying, "I won't run." (Ev- eryone knows the statement, "I won't run" is to be interpreted, "I won't run until the time comes.") Friday night, back on the umpteenth page of a daily newspaper I ran across an article which told the story of a poll taken among the Democratic party leaders and only 38 out of 102 polled gave the nod to Kennedy. The article went on to say the Democrats would be looking for a "Mr. Clean" this time around and memories of Chappaquiddick eliminated Mr. Kennedy from contention. This leaves Governor Askew as one of the mentioned possibilities and George's prediction doesn't liik so long-shottish any more. During these years there were about 51,000 murders and over 100,000 reported rapes,, plus other capital crimes such as kidnapping. Stacked up against that num- ber of victims was the total of 181 persons executed dur- ing those six years. Certainly, the death penal- ty was used seldom com- pared to the number of capi- tal crimes. The next two years saw the death penalty lose the great- er part of its credibility in the wake of court stays across the United States. There was one execution in 1966 and there were two in 1967. There have been none since. The murder rate started its alarming upward spiral just about this time, leaving the bounds of past experience and soaring. The six-year. period-1968 through 1973-saw 99,840 per- sons murdered as compared to about 51,000 in the first six years of the 1960's. It is true that most of them would have been murdered if the death penalty had hben in effect but it also seems likely that a substantial number of them would have been saved. There is too striking a parallel between the 'almost constant murder rate while the death penalty was in effect and the spectacular. upward spiral when it was removed, to pass it off as mere coincidence. The prevailing legal atmo- sphere now holds at least a strong presumption that the .U. S. Supreme Court's ambi- guous melange of expressions which outlawed the death penalty as it was formerly applied may result-if the court ever clarifies it-in a clear outlawing of the death penalty. This will mean that society's ultimate legal wea- pon against the murderer, the kidnaper, the rapist, will remain life imprisonment. This is true if the perpetrator kills one persons or a thou- sand. What seems to be a merci- ful decision may really be the death knell for uncounted and uncountable innocents whose fate is to die at the hands of a cold-blooded monster who finds the risk acceptable. -Florida Times-Union .Wstley R.

IJ May 7-9 imm Floridians A prime example of pre- ventive dentistry, it is harm- less ad relatively inexpensive and it will greatly limit new decay in Floridians' teeth. "Using fluorides to make teeth more resistnat is pre- ;---i. our best way to control ,:a .e. said Edward W. Farrell, D.D.S., chief of Health's Bureau of Dental Health. The effectiveness of fluor- ides has been shown by use in community water supplies, school water fluoridation, topical c .':. by den- tists, sodium fluoride mouth- rinse and dentifrices. , ."Dental caries or tooth decay is a disease which is a consequence of the combina- tion of a susceptible tooth, a diet conducive to caries and cariogenic bacteria. "Food, 5- '.-:.- ..... fer- mentable carbohydrates, plus this bacteria produces acid.' Acid plus a susceptible tooth effects tooth decay. "Without any one of these factors dental caries will not take place," said Dr. Farrell. "Since caries is a : -. .:, trial disease, we can pre- vent it by altering one or more of its prerequisites. For example, we can make the tooth more resistant, we can change the diet or environ- ment or we can alter the microbial flora," he said. "Theoretically, dental caries could be limited by decreasing dietary sucrose or other fermentable carbohy- drates," he said. "However, this approach is currently impractical. In- stead, since dental caries is an infectious disease, it seems logical to attach the responsible microorganism with our best weapon-fluor- ides," he said: Dr. Farrell said, "Fluoride, a food nutrient, "'-L.d decay resistance into the enamel of the tooth. For instance, one part of fluoride to one million parts of drinking water re- sults in up to 65 per cent less tooth decay for children who drink fluoridated water from birth. Research has also shown that relatively high levels of fluoride are effective in the prevention and treatment of degenerative diseases of the bone which particularly afflict older people. Fluoridation, scientists note, is no more harmful than and is very similar in princi- ple and method to chlorina- tion of drinking water which is widely accepted and done in the U.S. As to staining ti.', the level is ,.% lg te'r'lw that which would cause staining, he said.

This town is tremendously lucky to be able to boast one of the few remaining truly magnificent beaches in Flor- ida. Last Sunday, I went' to the beach with a friend to enjoy the sparkling clean water and pearl-white sand. While we were there, we filled a grocery bag with dis- carded soft drink cans, beer cabs and paper. In fact, we found the bag on the beach, too. Our beaches are very beautiful, but how long will this be true? Every year, more and more tourists are visiting St. Joe Beach. As a. result of their carelessness, and our own carelessness, -the beach is becoming very littered. The. crowded conditions of some portions of the beach would not be so bad if the other, less-crowded places were clean. But they, too, are littered. The water carries the trash left on. populated sections of the beach to other parts of the beach where people seldom go. The wind helps distribute the litter, also. Besides the annual flood of tourists 'to the beach, we are soon going to have to deal with a lot of new and perma- nent construction. Plans for' this area include condomin- iums to house thousands of people. People create waste, and waste, if not controlled properly, creates pollution. What will be the good of our beautiful beaches if the sand is gray and dead, and the water always murky and putrid? Could you bring your- self to swim in a cesspool the size of St. .Joseph Bay? Could you take your children to the beach, always afraid that they might pick up some disease? Progress is necessary; in- deed if we stop building, stop '.NOTES from the Port St. Joe ..
