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.

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.

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.

)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. Ordinary funeral home

u goui vex y much farther that this
w'iiuld be an expensive proposition.

tjis type service will be provided.

state to pass laws which would be

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.

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.

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.

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.

Did you ever wish you
could return to the good old
days, the days when lemon-
ade cooled your thirst and
song filled the air? The Port
St. Joe High -School Choir is
giving you a chance to hear
again the wonderful songs of
the'1950's through 1960's. The
choir will perform the muisi-
cal review of the last 20 years
on Tuesday, May 7, at 7:30
p.m. in the high school com-
mons area. Our sentimental
singers will illustrate a typi-
cal Glee Club of the 1950's.
The junior high choir will be
featured with guitars. If you
think today's fashions. are
weird, come out to the com-
mons area and try to recall
how funny you may have
looked, all you bobby sock-
ers!
One very important class
that trains young people to
meet and embrace the future
is Diversified Cooperative
Training. Recently, awards
were given in that class to
the most deserving students.
:Congratulations, Nancy
Noble, Mary Whittington and
Kevin Owens for receiving
this recognition.
Don't forget the Sadie Haw-
kins Dance Saturday night,
May 4, from 8:00 to 12:00.
Admission is $1.50 per per-
son. Music will emanate from
the instruments of Squeeze.
Anything could happen at this
dance. You can even get
married, if you want to!
Congratulations to the fol-
lowing students for being
named in the Port St. Joe
High School Hall of Fame:
Martin Adkison, Vic Adkison,
Ray Bolden, Jerry Brown,
Russell .Chason, Octavia Cop-
enhaver, Robert Dickens,
Joni Grace, Carl Guilford,
Eva Maddox, Eddie Rich and
Mary Whittington.
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
