Extremely Light Voter Turnout




. .'No' to Liquor Sales; Sullivan Elected

Car, Cycle Burned As


Result of Accident


"No, no, no" was the deci-
sion of Port St.: Joe voters
Tuesday to three questions which
would extend liquor sale hours in
the City of Port St. Joe.
In the balloting to select a
new City Commissioner, Gerald
Sullivan received the nod, polling
114 more votes than his oppo-
nent, Paul Edwin Ramsey.

Just a little more than one
fourth of the registered voters
went to the polls to cast their
ballots. Of 2,174 registered vot-
ers, only 680 cast a ballot, in


what was expected to be a light
voter turn-out.
In the Commission race, two
newcomers to City politics met
in a subdued race, which gener-
ated a subdued voter response.
Gerald Sullivan polled 376 ballots
over Ramsey, who garnered 262
in his first try in politics.
All three of the questions to
extend the hours of liquor sales
in the city met a resounding
defeat by nearly the same mar-
gin on each question.
Voters cast their opinion on
extending sale hours to 1:00


a.m., Monday through Saturday
by 428 votes against and 188 in
favor.
On the question to allow
grocery stores to sell beer and
wine on Sunday, the proposal
went down to a 463 to 144 defeat.
The largest opposition was
aimed at the question to allow
bars to open at 1:00 p.m. on
Sunday. This question was voted
down, 476 to 138.
The straw ballt on the li-
quor sale questions were not
binding on the City Commission,


but the Commission was expect-
ed to go along with the wishes of
the voters as expressed in the
ballot. It now seems certain the
bar hours will remain as they
have been in the past, requiring
closing at midnight and closed
all day on Sunday.
Gerald Sullivan will be
sworn into his two year term as
Commissioner on June 4. At this
same meeting, James B. Roberts
will also be sworn in for his
second term on the Board. His
name did not appear on the
ballot since he had no opposition.

Bike

Hike

W. Dania Holton, Physi-
ciah's Assistant, has been
named Chairman of the Gulf,
County 1974 National Bike-
Hike for the Retarded, it was
announced last week by Mil-
lie Lyles, president of the
Gulf Association for Retarded
Children..
Mr. Holton announced, "On
May 18, citizens of Gulf Coun-
.ty will have an opportunity to
take part in this worth while
event. We hope everyone who
can will join us in the "Bike-
Hike" either as participants
or sponsors."
He pointed out that the
National Association for Re-
tarded Citizens has named
Calvin Hill, star running back
of the Dallas Cowboys, as
National Chairman of the
1974 Bike-Hike for the Re-
tarded.
The Bike-Hike campaign
calls on volunteer citizens all
acrpss the country to bike for
the retarded, over a mea-
sured course. Businesses and
individuals are asked to
pledge so much per mile for
eacb mile ridden by partici-
pants. The ride will be held
on May 18, time as 'yet un-
announced.
Bikers will rally at the Port
St. 'Joe High School parking
lot to. begin and finish the
ridq. Checkpoints will be set
up at intervals along the
route, to accurately clock
miles ridden by participants.
"Walks and bike rides have
beep very successful in other
pares of the country," Mr.
Hol on' stated, "and have
raised thousands of dollars
for "the mentally retarded. I
# know we can count on the
citizens of Gulf County to
male the 'campaign here an
outstanding success."


bridge last Friday morning,
when the bridge again mal-
functioned.
According to Florida High-
way Patrolman Al Harrison,
the delinquent bridge was the
cause of an accident which
caused a car and motorcycle
to be burned. Harrison said
the car, driven by Robert
Manuel of Chattanooga, Ten-
nessee, was crossing the
bridge when the span began
to flap up and down. The
span flapped up as the car
crossed, causing two tires to
blow out, ripped the exhaust
system off the car and rup-
tured the gasoline tank which
caught fire from the sparks
of the tearing metal.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Manuel
were passengers in the car
and Mrs. Manuel was singed
as she escaped from the car'
just before it became engulf"-
ed in flames.
Trooper Harrison said the
accident was not caused by
the operator. "Several cars,
including a school bus had
crossed the bridge since it
had last been open", Harri-
son said.
The car was towing the mo-
torcycle which was totally
destroyed with the automo-
bile.
The fire was extinguished
by Port St. Joe and Highland
View fire departments.

tude of interesting subjects
for citizens of Gulf County.
One of the items of interest,
if not particularly welcome
news, was a letter from W. P.

Comforter Ambulance Ser-
vice that he would not con-
tinue in the ambulance ser-
vice beyond June, 30,,of this

Sheriff Breaks Up Crime Ring


Sheriff's Department inves-
tigators have broken up a,
major crime ring with the
arrest of four juvenile teen-
agers, reports Gulf County
Sheriff Raymond Lawrence.
The four, whose names are
being withheld because Flor-
ida statutes prohibit juvenile
names from being disclosed,
were arrested during the past
week mainly on breaking and
entering charges.
Follow-up investigation


.after the arrests have shown
that some or all of the young-
sters were involved in sev-
eral criminal activities which
included: two breaking and
entering of Scheffer's Groc-
ery on Beacon Hill; a break-
in at the bowling'alley; break
in of several drink boxes on
Mexico Beach; attempted
break in of the Surfside Res-
taurant and Motel on Mexico
Beach, as well as an attempt
on J&J's Grill in Oak Grove.


Larceny of a set of hub
cups from St. Joe Beach; a
breaking and entering of a
dwelling in Oak Grove; a
break in at Port St. Joe High
School; two local tire slash-
ings, one of which was owned
by A local school principal;
shoplifting at the Port St. Joe
Western Auto on numerous
occasions.
Destruction of a 1970 Chev-
rolet which was left abandon-
ed on the, Tyndall Reserva-


tion; larceny of an entire
telephone from a phone booth
in White City; and larceny of
a motorcycle in the Jones
Homestead area.
Sheriff Lawrence praised
the long hours and hard work
of Captain Bobby Nowell and
Deputy Mike White, as the
case began to unfold earlier
in the week.
All of the youngsters in-
volved were referred to the
Division of Youth Services


cal help to keep up with the
reports. Comforter is operat-
ing the service on a tempo-
rary permit until' such time
as the County can get into the
service meeting state re-
quirements.
In his letter, Comforter
suggested the Board hire
ABC Ambulance Service to
serve until the County can
put their program into oper-
ation.
Clerk Core noted to the
Board that a bill was present-
ly being presented to the
Legislature to relax the rules
and regulations for small
counties and possibly the
County can get into the busi-
ness at less cost than antici-
pated.
Sheriff Raymond Lawrence
suggested that since the new
wage and hour laws would
require he and the county tb
hire more men, possibly his
department and the County
could pool their efforts on
such a service and suggested
the two bodies get together to
discuss the matter.
The 'Board welcomed Sher-
iff Lawrence's. suggestion and
said they would like to meet
at an early date.
DISPUTED PROPERTY
Mrs. Elizabeth Barnes of
Marianna told the Board
there was evidently some
misunderstanding on owner-
ship of a piece of property at
Beacon Hill.
Last summer it was found
the County had claimed own-
ership of about two acres at
Beacon Hill for taxes which
hadn't been paid back in the
'30's.
Mrs. Barnes explained her
family had owned the proper-
ty since 1933 and had paid
taxes each year. She reported
the sale of the property was-
n't filed in the Courthouse
until two years later and
possibly the former owner


had been billed for the miss-
ing taxes and had failed to

Reorganizing
A reorganization meeting
of Boy Scout Troop 47 will be
held this evening at 7:30 p.m.
in the Scout Hut on Tenth

scoutmaster, Jimmy John-
son.
Johnson says all boys and
their parents interested in
becoming a Scout should be
at the meeting. The invitation
is also extended to boys who
are already members of
Troop 47.
The local Scout troop has
the distinction of being one of
the oldest troops in the Gulf
Coast Council but has been
inactive for the past year due
to the lack of a scoutmaster.
The new scoutmaster is a
former member of Troop 47
and is anxious to make Scout-

Revenue Department Says Patrick's Assessment


Rolls Do Not Comply With State's Standards


Gulf County Tax Assessor Samuel A.
Patrick has been notified by the State
Department of Revenue that his property
valuationseare not in substantial compliance
with the Department's administrative order,
dated February 27, 1974.
Patrick was one of several Assessors in
the state to receive such letters with the
warning that their new assessment roll
would not be accepted in the fall until the
necessary changes are made.
In the letter, Patrick was cited for six
inadequacies in the assessment roll include.
ing:
n 1. Square foot, improvement rated do
not reflect the current economic conditions
in Gulf Couhty.
2. Property record cards are not main-


trained for all parcels of improved real
property.
3. Sales maps are nonexistent.
4. Land value maps are nonexistent.
5. Many assessments that were calcu-
lated on the property record cards were not
transferred correctly to the 1973 Gulf County
tax roll.
6. No system has been developed or in
use for the evaluation of mobile homes.
Based on these items of complaint, the
Revenue Department served notice on Pat-
rick that they would not approve the 1974
tax roll for Gulf County unless they had
been corrected before filing for approval.
Needless to say, the news had the
County Commission disturbed at their, meet-
ing Tuesday for if the tax roll could not be


approved, no taxes for the coming budget
year could be levied and collected. The
Board asked Patrick to tell them what the
status of the complaints were to date and
Patrick said he had secured the services of
Howze and Company, professional assessors
to aid him with the problem and he had been
assured that if certain things were done
before the roll is presented it would be
accepted.
Commission Chairman Silas C. Player
asked Patrick if these things were going to
be done on time. He noted that if they
weren't, the County services would come to
a stand-still due to an inability to levy and
collect taxes,
Patrick reported that he would have an
acceptable roll ready by August 15.


Player then retorted that the roll should
be presented in writing and certified correct
"Since this doesn't give us much time if the
roll isn't accepted."
Commissioner Walter Graham said,
"How you run your office is your business,
but it's now beginning to affect our duties. I
feel, honestly, the state is trying to get your
tail in a crack, but we still have to operate
the county and we can do it.only if we can
levy taxes."
Clerk George Y. Core posed the ques-
tion, "Can the Board go ahead and set the
budget and collect taxes and not consider
anyiexecutive order?"
Attorney Fred Witten observed, "The
worst thing that could happen would be that
you would have to refund any taxes collect-
ed and do it all over again."

Politics Play Largest


Part in


Everybody has an, opinion
about the matter of impeachment
for the President of the United
States. In his Newsletter this past
week even Congressman Bob Sikes
devoted considerable space to the
problem and made the statement,
"I do not think it would be proper
to take a position until the evidence
and the recommendations of .the
Judiciary Committee are' before
us". We consider Congressman
Sikes' statement a fair position..
There are those on and off tahe
committee who have: already pas-
sed judgment on the ".President,
though. There are calls for his
resignation, in our opinion, from
those who want him out but know
the evidence is not there to legally
get him out. Vice President Gerald
Ford still backs the President and
with the opening of the hearings by
the Judiciary Committee last week':
great shouts went out calling for an
investigation based on law leaving'
all politics out of the matter.


That is to laugh. How
politics going to be left out,
purely political maneuver?


are
of a


Consider if you will, the time
table for the impeachment proceed-
ings. They culminate with the
matter going to the Senate just
before the fall elections. Leave
politics out? How can we be ex-
pected to believe such a thing?
The way we look' at it, the
Democrats don't want the Presi-
dent impeached, nor 'do they want
him to resign, regardless of what
they say. They want merely to


thoroughly embarrass the Presi-
dent and his political party to an
extent to guarantee election of the
democratic mule in 1976 even
should they be forced to resort to
putting their symbol on the ballot
in lieu of an acceptable candidate.
Should the- President resign,
Vice President Ford would move
into the White House. Then the
Democrats would be faced with an
acknowledged "Mr. Clean" hav-
ing two years in office to prove just
how honest and above-board he'
really was, giving him a definite
edge in the '76 elections.
The Republicans, on the other
hand, are beginning to call for the,
President to resign. (Note they still
dpn't s4y he is guilty as charged.
They say he has lost his effective-
ness aId his resignation would be
for the good of the country.)
President Nixon's resignation
would be for the good of the
ARepublican :party while it was
,upposedly serving the good will of
the nation*. Again, with Mr. Ford in
office, the Republicans would have
,tWoy yers to whitewash Watergate
and .maybe salvage another four
years of control of the White House.
.. ::ur: opinion, if Mr. Nixon
does resign 'in the future, we
believe it will be because it will
serve the Republican party as we
have stated here. The President is
.a politicalganimal too, and he' i
cognizant of the future of his party.
It's a pity we can't send men to
Washington who would have as
ipuch concern for the nation as
they. have for their party.

DOTHAN, ALA.-The pres-
ident of Tri-Rivers Waterway
Development Association has
accused the Florida Cabinet
and Governor Reubin Askew
of playing politics with the
destiny of more, than a mil-
lion people living along the
Chattahoochee and Flint
rivers in Alabama and Geor-
gia.
William P. Walker, Dothan
banker and elected head of
the three-state association,
said Florida had broken faith
with the neighboring states
on completion of the Apa-
lachicola, 'Chattahoochee and
Flint River navigation sys-
tem. He called on Alabama
and Georgia to assert their
rights.
The Florida Cabinet Tues-
day, May 7, adopted a resolu-
tion opposing construction of
a dam on the Apalachicola
River. The action came after
the Corps of Engineers had
submitted a proposal design-
ed to overcome objections of
Florida environmentalists
and state officials to earlier
plans.
The resolution was intro-
duced by Secretary of State
Richard Stone, a candidate of
U. S. Senate, on April 16
before the Corps submnitted
its proposal April 26. The
Cabinet at that time tabled
the resolution pending receipt
of the proposal.
The 'Cabinet resolution
states that the Corps project
"will produce great stress on
the ecology of the area" and
that "the resulting commer-
cialization of the Apalachi-
cola River will endanger the
water quality of the Apalach-
ic61la River and Bay."
In speeches around the
area, District Engineer
Drake Wilson has said the
proposed dam probably
wri-uld help the oyster indus-
I' in Apalachicola Bay. He'
chs called it feasible from
standpoints of engineering,
environment and economics.


Lives or Money


Back in the month of August of
last year, Governor Reubin Askew
.said there was no money to replace
the draw bridge across the Gulf
County Canal at HighlandView.
After the near tragic accident:
of this past week on the bridge,
maybe the Governor should reas-
sess the situation. Could the state
have found the money to pay off a
suit if the couple had been killed in
the accident of last Friday? Would
it have been just as cheap to
rebuild the bridge where it would
be dependable and safe? Can the
state find the money to pay off the
suit which is surely to come from
the accident as it happened?
Gulf County has been promised
by the State Department of Trans-
portation the bridge was repairable
and would be repaired to depend-
able working condition. The fact
that the bridge was stuck open for
nearly an hour on Thursday after-
noon and then caused a Tennessee


couple to be in danger of their lives
on the very next morning would
cause one to believe the bridge is
still an undependable, and now


unsafe,
No

structure.
doubt the bridge will have
someone before the State
to grind its slow moving
of action to get something


We hope that in the meantime
the one who has to be killed in
order to under.;core the condition of
the bridge on a main federal
highway, will not be one of those
who had the say so of providing the
money to fix it properly or replace
it.
When one considers the money
wasted every year for survey on
top of survey, salaries for needless
employees and projects which
didn't really need doing, it should-
n't be too hard to find the money
for accomplishing a task which
really needs doing.

The Corps "also has com-
missioned two independent
specialists to study and
report on the effect on the
oysters and on saltwater'fish
that swim upstream to
spawn. Those studies are still
outstanding.
"It is. interesting," Walker
commented, "That the resol-
ution the Cabinet adopted
,did not come from the De-
partment of Natural
Resources, but from the
Department of Administra-
tion, which could not be ex-
pected to know much about
marine life."
"It was pure politics .
nothing more," Walker char-
ged.
"This is a big election year
in Florida, and those men are
catering to special interest
groups to pick up a few votes.
They are ignoring the far-
mers and low wage earners
in Northwest Florida who
badly need the economic
benefits of a working water-
way.
Walker said sentiment in
the six Northwest Florida
counties that border the Apa-
lachicola is not unmixed on
the issue. He noted that a $4
million port is under con-
struction on the river in Jack-
son County and that a new
ship-building' industry at
Blountstown in Calhoun Coun-
ty now employs nearly 100
people. Boards of county
commissioners in three of the
six Florida counties are dues
paying members of the Tri-
Rivers organization.
Population of the six Flor-
ida counties was reported by
the 1970 census as 101,782.
The census shows 235,389
people in .six Alabama coun-
ties bordering the Chattahoo-
chee River and 721,281 in 31
Georgia counties in the river
Sbasin, not including the popu-
lotis Atlanta area.
Congress in 1945-46 author-
ized maintenance of a nine
foot deep channel in the Apa-


lachicola River, which con
nects the waterway to the
Gulf of Mexico. The Corps
has built dams on the Chatta-
hoochee River and one on the
upper Apalachicola to pro
vide a reliable channel from
Chattahoochee, Fla., to Bain-
bridge, Ga., on the Flint and
to Columbus on the Chatta,
hoochee, but the Apalachicola
below Jim Woodruff dam has
remained a bottleneck to
barge traffic.
"Alabama and Georgia
have spent millions of dollars
building ports on good faith
that the project would be
completed," Walker said. "It
has not been completed, and
now Florida officials say they
will not allow it to be com-
pleted. These seven men
would penalize the people of
a whole region of the country.
It's undemocratic, and it's
unjust."
Walker also charged repre-
sentatives of Florida a1ae
agencies with making "com-
pletely irresponsible and un-
founded" public statements.'
"Supposedly rational state
employees will say such
things as, 'If Georgia wants
an inland port, let them cut a
channel to Savannah," Walk-
er said. "One official ans-
wered a report that a dam
would eliminate 70 percent of
the dredging by saying -the
Corps should stop dredging
anyway."
"That's absurd. It's irres-
ponsible, and it has nothing
to do with anything except
self-serving, political motiva-
tion."
Walker said his organiza-
tion had tried to cooperate
with Florida officials when
their complaints about ear-
lier Corps plans had seemed
to have some logical merit.
"But Florida has drawn the
line now," Walker said. "It's
time for Alabama and Geor-
gia leaders to stand up for
their people."

...


Last week it became apparent most of the
charges being hurled at Cabinet members were
asinine.
We'll take the case of Fred 0. (Bud)
Dickinson. Mr. Dickinson is being raked over
the political coals because he borrowed money
from' banks. These particular banks had
business to do with Dickinson's office so
immediately the innuendo is that the Comptrol-
ler traded his influence for a loan.
If the "loan" had been a gift there might
be some cause for alarm, but for a loan?
Dickinson borrowed money to buy a house
and to" go .into the motel business. Everybody
borrows to buy a house unless he is indepen-
dently wealthy and where else would a person
wishing to borrow. turn in such an instance but
to a bank or a savings and loan?
Then again,, the Comptroller was suspect of
borrowing to go into the motel business. It's
just good business to take advantage of a good
investment if a person can swing it. Again,
where would Mr. Dickinson go for the borrowed
money if he didn't go to a bank? Isn't that
where most of us go to borrow money?
I don't see where the investigators have a
leg to stand on unless the way is being
paved for an opponent to come out against Mr.
Dickinson.
Then there is the case of Thomas O'Malley
borrowing $38,000 from a friend until his bank
loan could come through to buy his home.
That's really stretching things a bit far. I don't
know Mr. O'Malley. He could be the finest
person in the world or he could be the worst of
i- scoundrels as far as I know, but whichever, I
) can see no fault in his actions either.
You don't suppose the fact these two, along
l with Dick Stone voted for the hiring of Harmon
l Shields as director of the Department of
n Natural Resources against Governor Askew
, and Attorney General Robert Shevin could
have anything to do with these investigations,
h do you?
h It's interesting note it is the legal depart-
ment of the State of Florida doing the
investigating and since Shevin is Attorney
a General it stands to reason he has some small
part in them. One notices, also, that those who
voted against Shields are not being investigated
s .. and this includes Mr. Shevin.

The Sharks had their finest baseball season
this year, ending .up with 26 wins against only
four losses. It's a pity that one of those losses
was the one which kept them from going to the
state tournament.
It was gratifying to note that when the
Sharks were making their run for all the
marbles here Friday afternoon, the grandstand
was filled to overflowing with fans. I like that. I
like that, even if they are in a losing season.
Baseball has probably been the least
attended of the sports Port St. Joe High School
participates in, and is one of its more
successful athletic ventures. The Sharks have
had a winning season almost every season and
Shave usually figured heavy in the play-offs.

I lost considerable sleep last week. But I
did:it on an.enjoyable note. I caught all of the
Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks play-off
games for the NBA championship, and they
Were fine games.
The contest between Dave Cowens and
Kareem Jabbar were something to see. There
was the little midget, so to speak, going up
against the big giant and giving the giant all
kinds of trouble. I was impressed with Jabbar,
too. Not once did he lose his temper, even
though Cowens was as close as the shirt on his
back all the time, forever applying the
pressure. The giant went on doing what he does
best against some trying opposition.


Port St. Joe's merchants are beginning to
take a page out of the book of experience
purchased dearly by business districts in other
towns across the nation. They are beginning to
worry about parking in the future for downtown
Port St. Joe. It stands to reason their business
hinges on the ability of a customer to find a
spot to park his wheels. The parking in Port St.
Joe is beginning to reach a point where it will
be a problem. In the past, parking was no
problem with a selection of vacant lots only one
block off the main street, but slowly and surely
these lots are being filled up with buildings.
What will be the situation when they are gone?
Where will the people who work and shop in the
downtown stores park their cars?
It's a real problem.
The merchants are becoming concerned
about it and are making noises like they intend
to try and do something about the crisis before
it appears. We hope they continue with their
interest and that it bears the fruit of parking
lots in the vicinity of downtown. We surely

Writes



s Book

One of the main projects of
the Port St. Joe High School
creative writing class the
past several weeks has been
to compose a children's book.
The book must contain an
original story with original
Characters. Each individual
is also responsible for illus-
trations in their book, which
may vary from sketches by
the writer to cutouts from
I magazines.
The stories are to focus on
the young, their imagination
and understanding, although
some of the older readers
might enjoy reading a selec-
tion and reminiscing of days
when they, too, were young.
Everyone's ability as a
writer will surely be tested,
as each story will be exposed
to community children for
their reaction.
As you can see by the
photographs, everyone put
forth a great deal of effort on
this assignment. The stories

The observance of. Law
Week was highlighted by the
participation of students in a
mock "trial". Two attorneys
from Panama City, John
O'Brien and Tom Ingles,
participated in this "trial",
as attorneys for the prosecu-


tion and defense, respective-
ly. Additionally, Circuit
Judge, Larry G. Smith, and
Court Administrator, Bob
Brown, discussed topics re-
lated to Law Week with local
civic clubs. The coordination
of the Courthouse tours and
"trial" was made possible
through the assistance of
Mrs. Laura Geddie, Staff
Development Coordinator for
the Gulf County School
Board. Also, Mrs. Susan Big-

Our community is fortunate
that these individuals took

Chaplain Now Serving


Gulf Jail; First in Area


The Rev. Jack Jamison
assumed the duties of chap-
lain of the Gulf County Jail
recently, according to Sheriff
Raymond Lawrence.
The Sheriff stated that the
new position will have a two-
fold purpose: first, to main-
tain contact with the inmates
and to see that the Sheriff is
aware of the material and
physical needs of the inmates
in the jail. Second, to coordi-
nate the spiritual programs
within the jail.
The inmates will have
someone that they can con-


fide in, and will be given a
chance to improve them-
selves spiritually, education-
ally and psychologically dur-
ing their stay in the County
jail.
Rev. Jamison will need the
help of the community for
resource personnel, material
needs, and the prayers of all
to see this program through
successfully. Those who have
an interest in this ministry
should direct this interest to
the chaplain. Due to the
variety of religious denomi-


nations found within the jail
all religious activities will be
of a non-denominational
nature.
Sheriff Lawrence states
that he is really excited about
this new ministry, because in
his opinion, Christ is the only
answer for those men and
women, who have been re-
moved from our society be-
cause of their inability to
cope with life, and the situa-
tions they find themselves
caught up in.
It is the sincere hope of the
Sheriff's Department that all
of the churches in the com-
munity will find themselves
involved in this new ministry.
Through a coordinated effort
such as this, the churches
and the people of Oulf County
will have an opportunity to be
part of a rehabilitation pro-
gram, dedicated to the goal
of reducing the number of re-
peated offenders that con-
tinues to be a problem in our
society today.
Sheriff Lawrence states
that programs such as this
are widely used in South
Florida, but is a first in
Northwest Florida.

to wonder where the gentle
voices came from.
Perhaps the American In-
dians with their pantheon of
gods enjoyed communing
with nature to the point of
considering the woods and
waters as sacred places, where
they could talk wi their
ancestors and the anthropo-
morphic ghosts who sup-
posedly led, guided, and pro-
tected them..
.The early settlers of this
great country, specifically the
mountain men who carved a
civilization from a wilderness,
obviously, spent time listening
t9 the voicess from nowhere,
letting them know tlheywere
not trtly alone as, long: as
they would open their ears to
the sounds surrounding them.
It's a far cry from the da s
of the mountaineers arid the
early homesteaders who ihad
no' other sounds to hear, to
the outdoorsman of modern
times who canr onl' occaisionr
ally' spend a few hours
secluded ih a wooded glade
for the ,heer plasurL and
privilege of tir ing to compre-
hend the tales nature ha- to
relate.
Be it a brook sharing a
joyful song of existence as it
rambles and tumbles through*
a forest, or that gentle, soul-.
ful sighing of 'the wind
through a cypress thicket in
the deep southern reaches of
the Everglades, the' singing
and sighing and laughing and
talking are available -for the
ear of anyone properly
attuned to nature.:
Rejuvenation of one's per-
sonal life source is always
there for the taking, and
greater by far is the man or
woman who can listen, .njoy,
and understand the true call
of the great outdoors

pay since he had sold the
property. She said the ab-
stract showed no unpaid tax-
es against the property.
The Board said they were
sure there was a mistake
somewhere and offered to
present Mrs. Barnes with a
quit claim deed to the proper-
ty as soon as the attorney
could draw up a legal opin-
ion.
OPPOSE PLAN
The U.S. Army Corps sent
a detailed plan for a proposed
run of the river dam at
Sutton's Lake north of
Blountstown and asked for
the Board to respond their
feelings in the matter. The
Corps explained the dam
would be high enough only to
maintain a nine foot naviga-
tional channel and would
cause little to no flooding..
The: letter from the Corps
stated they were having sur-
veys made to possible dan-
gers to the ecology and to the
seafood industry in Apalachi-
cola Bay by an independent
expert on the matter for
presentation at a later date.
The Corps said the dam,
which would be under water

at regular flood times, would
eliminate about 70 percent of
the trouble spots on the Riv-
er. The proposal created a
new trouble spot however;
the Commission will not ap-
prove a dam on the River
and so informed the Corps of
Engineers.
PROTEST REGISTERED
Mrs. Beth Lawrence, man-
ager of Radio Station WJOE
registered a formal protest to
the Board Tuesday saying
employees of the Station
were being harassed by the
Sheriff's Department and
that she had filed a protest
also with the Attorney Gefi-
eral's office. Mrs. Lawrence
stated, "We will not be intinm-
idated, but will continue to do
our job of gathering and
reporting the news."
After making her protest,
Mrs. Lawrence left the meet-
ing.
The Sheriff told the Board
he had no knowledge of such
activities. He said, "I have
given no such orders and will
be willing to lay my job on
the line that such has not
occurred."
ASK FOR BRIDGE
The Board discussed the
recent accident caused by the
errant Highland View draw
bridge and agreed, unani-


mously to draw up a resolu-
tion requesting the Depart-
ment of Transportation to
construct a new high level
bridge over the Canal.

why the University of Florida
recommends the use of an
insoluble organic nitrogen
fertilizer, preferably a nat-
ural organic, for use 'on St.
Augustine grass during the
summer. Soluble nitrogen
materials, like ammonium
nitrate or ammonium sulfate,
should be applied after the
peak of the chinch bug sea-
son. During June and July, if
fertilizer is needed, use an
organic nitrogen material
such as sludge.
These recommendations
will not eliminate chinch bug
damage but they offer a
management tool which can
help in reducing the severity
of attack caused by the num-
ber one pest on St. Augustine
grass.

Chinch bug damage and
fertilization-is there a rela-
tionship?
The chinch bug is the most
damaging insect on St.
Augustine grass lawns and
sooner or later most home-
owners have to spray to
control this pest. Many peo-
ple have changed lawngrass-
es as a solution to the chinch
bug problem since the insect
only seriously attacks St.
Augustine grass. There is,
however, a way to reduce
turf injury, and this is by
proper summer fertilization.
Almost ten years ago it was
shown that the source and
rate of nitrogen fertilizer had
a tremendous effect on the
susceptibility of St. Augustine
k- grass to chinch bug injury.
,. ,As nitrogen fertilization in-
:' creased, chinch bug damage
increased. Grass receiving no
nitrogen fertilizer had the
least damage. The greatest
difference was between
sources of nitrogen. The
organic source of nitrogen at
all rates resulted in fewer
chinch bugs and less grass
damage.
Lawn spraymen and others
have thought for a long time
that the use of high rates of
fertilizers, especially nitro-
gen, resulted in heavier
chinch bug damage. For this
S reason, several turf special-
o n sts have recommended'little
o or no fertilization of St.
Augustine grass during the
hot summer months when
I chinch bugs are most active.
The experiment mentioned
earlier showed the validity of
this observation and this is


Evangelist James Robison
of Fort Worth, Texas, will be
preaching for a one-night
evangelistic rally at the Port
St. Joe High School Coliseum,
Friday, May 24, 7:30 p.m.
The rally sponsored by var-
ious area churches is expect-
ed to draw an attendance of
3,000 persons.


Count

Tips As

Wages
The tourist season has
started in this area and with
it many employers will have
workers receiving tips. Tips
amounting to $20 a month are
now included as wages for
social security purposes.
The worker is required by
law to report tips to his
employer by the 10th of the
following month. The employ-
er is responsible for reporting
the employees' regular wages
and tips to the Internal
Revenue Service at the end of
each calendar quarter.
Workers are required to
provide sufficient funds to the
employer so that the social
security tax on tips can be
paid. Only the employee's
share of the tax must be
paid. The employer does not
have to match the tax on tips
as he does for regular wages.
Everyone receiving tips
should keep a daily record of
the amount received. This
will allow an accurate report
of the tips to be made to the
employer.
For further information
about tips or any other mat-
ter concerning social security
or Medicare, call your social
security office. The telephone
number is 763-5331. The office
is located at 1316 Harrison
Avenue, Panama City. The
office is open Monday
through Friday from 9:00
a.m. to 4:30 p.m., except on
national holidays.


Craig Davis
Graduating
from Marion
Linard Craig Davis of Port
St. Joe, will graduate May 18
from Marion Institute,
Marion, Ala. He is a member
of the graduating sophomore
class.
Commencement activities
will begin on Friday, May 17
with the Awards Parade on
the front campus. Company
commanders will also feature
their mothers and company
Sweetheart at this time.
The graduation ceremony
will be held at 9:00 a.m. Sat-
urday in David J. Robinson
Memorial Stadium.
Craig is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. L. C. Davis, 132 2nd
Ave., Oak Grove.


The meeting is open to the
public and other churches,
according to Billy Norris,
chairman for the rally.
Sharing the program spot-
light with Robison will be
other members of his evange-
listic team including gospel
singer John McKay and
organist Richey Craig.
Guest soloist will be Mrs,
Jeanne Copeland Rogers, 24,
of Hurst, Texas. She is a reg-
ular performer on the evan-
gelist's weekly television pro-
gram, "James Robison Pre-
sents," as well as frequent
soloist for Robison's cru-
sades.
Robison's half-hour, syndi-
cated TV program, "James
Robison Presents," is carried
over WDTB, Channel 13, Pan-
ama City, Sundays at 8:30
a.m.
At 30, Robison has preach-
ed his simple gospel message
face-to-face to some six mil-
lion people, more than had
heard Billy Graham when he
was that age.
He has conducted more
than 350 crusades in some 30


states. At these evangelistic
meetings, usually held in
large auditoriums or football
stadiums, he often preaches
to crowds of 8,000 to 10,000
nightly.
Robison also speaks to
some 200,000 high school stu-
dents each year on such sub-
jects as personal responsibil-
ity, youth problems and
moral character.
More than 200,000 people
have made personal commit-
ments of their lives to Christ
in response to his ministry.
Of these, some 100,000 were
making their first decisions
for Christ, accepting Him as
Lord and Saviour.
In addition to his crusade
audiences, Robison reaches
thousands of people through
his television ministry.
The TV ministry consists of
two thrusts. One, a half-hour
syndicated program titled
"James Robison Presents,"
is aired each week over about
40 stations. The other is a
series of one-hour, prime
time specials carried in dif-
ferent communities across


the nation with the support of
local churches.
His background includes a
childhood of abject poverty in
Houston and Austin, Texas,
and a youth in which he was
shuttled back and forth bet-
ween his natural mother and
foster parents in Pasadena,
Tex.
He attended East Texas
Baptist College, Marshall,
Texas.
McKay, 40, a graduate of
North Texas University, Den-
ton, Tex., has been a member
of the Robison Evanglistic
team since 1965. He is also a
recording artist on the Sing-
cord label, a division of Zon-
dervan Publishing Co.
Mrs. Rogers, a former
junior high school music
teacher in Hurst, Tex., is also
well known in Fort Worth,
Tex. entertainment circles
for her leading role in vari-
ous professionally staged
musical productions, includ-
ing "West Side Story" and
"Show Boat." Her first com-
mitment is serving Christ
with her life and talents.

NOTES

from the

Port St. Joe


High School

CARL GUILFORD, JR.


Most of you will agree that
the United States is the most
progressive country in the
world today. America has
done more space research,
engaged in more peaceful
uses of nuclear energy, and
encouraged world peace
more than any other country
on the surface of the globe. In
doing so, this nation has been
subjected to intense criticism
from her friends and foes
alike. In fact, it's getting
hard to distinguish between
allies and enemies.
Outside criticism is only
one of America's problems.
Internal. strife and stress is
reflected more and more
brightly in contemporary


headlines. National network
news programs have been
obliged to add comedy rou-
tines, politely referred to as
"commentaries," to offset
the depressing impact of
world news. The populace is
accusing news reporters of
purposefully ripping up pub-
lic figures like piranha fish
attacking a piece of meat.
Speaking of meat, food prices
seem to be climbing a spiral
-staircase, with only dark at
the top of the stairs.
The government draws
most of the media's caustic
remarks. The President of
the United States must exe-
cute his duties while being
constantly questioned about

the Watergate incident. Re-
gardless of one's political
belief, one must admit that
the task undertaken by Presi-
dent Nixon is a monumental
one-a task that former Vice-
president Agnew could not
face. President Nixon refuses
to denounce that which he
believes is right, and he
continues to refuse with a
tenacity of spirit that I would
be pleased to have.
Another easy target for the
public's sarcasm and criti-
cism is the court system.
"The judges are turning
them loose faster than the
cops can catch them!" is a
statement commonly heard.
Now the energy crisis can
be added to America's
already long list of problems.
The oil companies are grip-
ing over profits, the govern-
ment is griping over inter-
national repercussions, and
the public is griping over
prices. Everyone is debating
tho question of ratin'inrg


country has always been
critical of herself, has always
held up her troubles for scru-
tiny. It is this, the ability to
examine our problems and
the determination to solve
them, that is America's
greatest strength.
This is a nation of indivi-
dual ideas and persuasions. It
is with the individual person
that progress continues. In
order to retain the reputation
of progress and free thought
to which we have become
accustomed, each single per-
son must strive to develop
himself fully. Each individual
must believe in himself and
his peers. We must all help
solve the problems we face.
You and I, retaining our indi-
vidual ideas and beliefs, must
become we. We must suc-
ceed. To be cliche, a nation is
only as good as its citizens.
