121 Port St. Joe High Seniors Graduating


The County Commission
agreed to a new insurance
program for its employees;
agreed to actively support a
Jaycee move to replace the
Highland View bridge and
bought a tractor in its meet-
., ing Tuesday night.
It was insurance renewal
time this month for county
employees- and an announced-
sharp rate increase by the
.carrier sent the Board hunt-
t ing for like protection,
cheaper.
Their insurance agent,
Frank Graddy, said their
main problem was that the
program was voluntary and
did not offer broad enough
protection. Graddy suggested
the County pay the hospital
and life premium for their
employees, spreading the lia-
bility over a larger base, and
leave the family protection
up to the employee.
The Board agreed to pay
for a major medical policy
and $5,000 in life insurance
for all their employees at a
price of $21.55 per month.
Employees may include their
families on the hospital pol-
icy at $32.03 per month at the
employees' expense.


ed to $53.55.
The new rates go into effect
on June 1.
BACK JAYCEES
A delegation of 11 Port St.
Joe Jaycees came before the
Board with a request for
support in their move to get
sympathy for a new bridge
over the Gulf County Canal at
SHighland View. "
The Board stated they had
already adopted a resolution
and forwarded it to Gov-
ernor Askew and the De-
partment of Transporation.
The Board said they would
furnish the 'Jaycees with a
copy of the Resolution for
their files.
Project Chairman, Robert
Montgomery asked the Board
to accompany a delegation to
Tallahassee in June to pre-
sent their desires in person.
The Board agreed to join in
the effort.
Montgomery said the Jay-
cees had already collected
over 1200 signatures on their
petition.
Jaycee James White ex-'
pressed a concern that the
county did not have regula-
tions governing water apd
sewer services.


The former premium was White was informed the
$42.00 and was being advanc- county had a committee-


working now with the North-

DOT Stipulates Roads


Presented to County


In a hearing held last Wed-
nesday evening, the State
Department of Transporta-
tion warned the Gulf County
Commission they would soon
become the owners of five
stretches of primary roads in
the County, with the duty to
keep them maintained.
Roads to be presented to
the county for ownership in-
clude SR382, SR30, SR22, SR
386 and SR30E. The roads
include a total of about 47
miles.
The county was notified
that all roads in the state
which carry primarily local
traffic are being given over
to county ownership.
The County Board figures
the "gift" will cost the county
some $40,000 per year in
maintenance.
It may be two to three
years before the transfer is
accomplished since DOT
plans to put the roads in
first-class shape before they
are given to Gulf County.
The County Board, of
course, is opposing this
move, especially in the areas
of the Overstreet Road and
SR22. They claim they are
definitely primary roads,
even with the new definition.
Commissioner Walter Gra-
ham suggested the Board
make a count of cars, giving
their place or origin by tag


numbers and use it to oppose
the move by the state. The
Board agreed to Graham's
suggestion.

Richard Zyski has assumed
his duties as administrator of
Port St. Joe's Municipal Hos-
pital. This week is Zyski's

already very pleased with the
community and the potential
of the hospital.

Jury Returns
Guilty Verdict'
On Raffield
A jury returned a guilty
verdict against Lavel "Spar-
ky" Raffield on two counts
Friday.
Raffield, who was arrested
on Christmas Eve in what
was described as the largest
mari juana "bust" in the na-
tion, was charged with con-
spiracy and possession of
marijuana.
Presently Raffield is free
on $125,000 bond awaiting a
pre-sentence investigation,
before sentence is pronounc-
ed by Circuit Judge Larry
Smith.


moved to Port St. Joe.
Zyski said he is impressed
with the hospital and its
potential. "You don't usually
find the facilities offered here
in a community the size of.
Port St. Joe". he said. "I feel
we will be able to offer an
adequate and efficient medi-
cal service to the people of
this area, and, of course, this
will be our purpose."


Arrested

For Theft

of TV Set
Two men were arrested
Monday for stealing a tele-
vision set from the home of
Monroe Beck, Fifth St., High-
land View, reports Sheriff
Raymond Lawrence.
Investigating Deputy Mike
White arrested Homer Goff,
of Hayes Ave. in Highland
View, and Ralph Coatney of
Panama City and charged
the two with petty larceny.
The television, along with
some foodstuffs were taken
from Beck's home on Sunday,
and were allegedly sold to
someone who was unaware of
it having been stolen. All the
property taken in the larceny
has been recovered, and late
Tuesday the pair was lodged
in the Gulf County Jail in lieu
of $250 bond each.
A check of the local law
enforcement agencies in
Northwest Florida also show
that Coatney is wanted on
other charges in both Bay
and Franklin counties.


Bishop was dazed and pulled
over to. the. shoulder of the
road to turn around. As he
attempted to turn around, his
car fell into a deep ditch,
causing him to strike his
head on the roof and sustain
neck injuries.
Bishop was taken to Muni-
cipal Hospital by Comforter
Ambulance for treatment
then transferred to Tallahas-
see.
Murphy was assisted in his
investigation by Deputy Sher-
iff Oscar Jones.

Vulgarity Is Still


Not Acceptable


It's distressing to us to see blue
language becoming the normal
mode of conversation in our nation,
rather than the language reserved
for those who were not in the
acceptable swim of a gentele so-
ciety.
Friday night we wasted one of
the precious hours God gives us to
live by watching the Dean Martin
show-something it is not our habit
to do. It was repulsive. Dean has
always had a show which bordered
on being risque, but the one Friday
was more of a stag party type
rather than being a show which
should be aired into American
homes.
Dean Martin's show isn't the
only one which is working overtime
to bring down the high plane of
civilized language. It's getting
harder and harder to tune into a
show which isn't offensive, in. some
part-or other. i, r; 1, .*:
Why is it necessary to allow
language in our newspapers and on
our television which we would give
our children a whipping for repeat-
ing? While we were administering
the necessary chastisement would
come the repeated question,
"Where did you hear talk like
that?"
Representative Earl Hutto of
Panama City became concerned





A Disma


It was disheartening to read in
the news this past week where five
young people in the prime of life
decided to die in an inferno rather
than to live in the United States
today.
It was commendable that they
could believe in something enough
to die for it, but it was a dismal
waste in that their ideals were iot
of such to make a good, peaceful,
happy life. It's a pity.they couldn't
have adopted right ideals as fer-
vently as they- held to their warped
ones. ,
In a sense, the graduates of
next week will face a similar
decision as these who made up the
SLA in California.
Just within the last few days
we voted to give them $19 billion
more dollars to pay off for us in
increasing the national debt. This
was added to the $475 billion they
already owed-which we spent.
Then, too, there is the ever sky-
rocketing of prices they must con-
tend with. At a time in life when
they are starting with nothing, they
must pay the highest prices in


over the language used in a televi-
sion show aired by FSU recently.
The station manager defended the
language by asserting it was neces-
sary to present the story they
wished presented in the manner to
gain the most impact.
We'll concede there are times
where the language would give
more impact to the scene and in
this particular instance the mana-
ger may have been right, since the
purpose was to show the agony
accompanying the use of drugs.
But, the point we're getting at is an
apparent attempt to make the blue
language an accepted part of our
conversation.
This is an indictment against
all Americans. If we have degraded
to the point where we cannot use
acceptable language to express
ourselves adequately we should' be
: mortalJy ashamed of our ignorance
as well as being ashamed of
what emanates from out of our
mouth.
We hope the people of this
country become ashamed enough of
the trend toward vulgarity in
speech to oppose it vigorously.
Free speech, yes. Clean speech,
yes. Vulgarity may be free but is it
constructive toward building good
citizens? We think not.


Waste


history for the things they need and
want.
Too, there is a deterioration of
the moral fibre of our people to
contend, with. It s natural for young
people to want adventure, ease, a
good time; all without the respon-
sibility of paying for it. In our
society today we have let the false
impression breed that one can live
as he wants with no responsibility
to anyone but ourselves, but failed
to mention or make common know-
ledge, the terrible penalty one must
pay for attempting such a life.
They must still learn they have to
pay the price and meet the respon-"
sibility and this is a hard and
painful thing to learn.
We believe they will make it.
They may even get tired of that
awful debt hanging over their na-
tion and begin to take steps to
repay it. They may see that it isn't
utopia to do as one wants and
reincarnate morality and responsi-
bility to our nation. Let's hope they
do. If they don't, there may not be
the good life for their children to
graduate into.

Ever wonder why so many
women nowadays work (for
pay, that is)?
It's a most interesting
question. The answers you
get are even more interest-
ing.
The most interesting fact is
that only 0.3 per cent of
working women (outside the
home, that is) work because
they need the money!
-. To listen to women, you'd
think they don't even accept
(their pay checks.. --
The working women gen-
erally fall into one of these
classes:
DRAFTED (By far the
most numerous). They are
more numerous in the State
offices. To hear them tell it,
the Governor, members of
his Cabinet and big wheel
department heads just
couldn't run this state unless
they were there to dust off
the filing cabinets.
WANT TO This type just
naturally doesn't want to
work-at home, that is.
They'd rather have a job re-
moving the ink from carbon
paper than stay home and do
dishes. )this type usually lets
husbands get their own
breakfast-they find time to
slip out to the snack bar on
the first of four morning cof-
fee breaks.)
PRESTIGE Not too
many in this category, but
more than you'd think. They
work simply so they can pro-

claim at a cocktail party:
"I'm secretary to Mr. Gota-
lot. He's worth millions and
millions." (The truth is, she
was "drafted.")
REALLY NE-EDED -
Another minority group. Usu-
ally consists of wives who
help their husbands when the
hired hands get "sick," sel-
dom gets paid. Are usually
ready to answer the call to
the colors and leave the
housework to others.
Husbands will argue eter-
nally over which type of wife
is more of a compatible mate
-the one who works for pay
or the one who works at
home.
The working wife usually
argues that she's too tired to
cook, she takes more of an
active hand in spending the
family money (all of hers,
most of yours) and is already
with the familiar quip: "Re-
member, I work just as hard
as you do."
The non-working (for pay)
wife who stays home has a
ready-made argument which
goes something like this:
"You've been in the air con-
ditioned office all day. You
see and meet new things and
people. You have fun. (You'd
think they had girlie shows in
every office). And all I do all
day long is look at these four
walls."

Face it men, in either case
-you lose.


New Fire

Report

System

TALLAHASSEE Insur-
ance Commissioner-Treas-
urer-State Fire Marshal
Thomas D. O'Malley an-
nounced this week that a new
system of monthly fire re-
porting from fire depart-
ments to the Division of the
State Fire Marshal will go
into effect July 1. The new
system, he said, will give a
more accurate picture as to
causes of fires so that pro-
grams can be immediately
directed toward preventing
similar fires in similar situa-
tions' "
He said the single page
summary report covers, for
example, cause of fire
whether arson or accidental,
injuries, fatalities, the type of
property involved such as
educational, residential or
business, and the estimated
dollar losses.
The advantages for month-
ly reports, O'Malley said, is
that it gives complete, finger-
tip records to the smaller fire
departments and to supply
accurate statistics to the cen-
tral file maintained by the
State Fire Marshal.
He also said that fire de-
partments and the State Fire
Marshal would be able to
detect immediate trends and
pinpoint problem areas so
that further life and property
losses could be prevented.
The State Fire Marshal is
the Stale's chief officer for
the prevention and investiga-
tion, and enforces safety laws
on liquefied petroleum gas,
explosives and fire extin-
guishing equipment.


Hutto Calls for Stop of


Profane Language on TV


Representative Earl Hutto
(D-Panama City) has called
on Commissioner of Educa-
tion Ralph Turlington to stop
what he called "profane, in-
decent, and obscene mater-
ial" from being broadcast on
the state's educational sta-
tions.
In a letter to Turlington,
Hutto praised the public
broadcasting stations for
generally doing a good job,
but he objected to a portion
of last Monday night's
"Prime Time" program on
WFSU-TV which he said was
shocking.
The program in question


was a documentary on DISC
village in Tallahassee, a resi-
dential center for the treat-
ment of drug addicts. A seg-
ment of the program showed
a group therapy session, and
Hutto said the four letter
words used by the partici-
pants can not be tolerated on
the public air waves. He said
those responsible for letting it
get on the pir must be held
accountable'
Hutto, who has been a
newscaster and sportscaster
on commercial television for
many years, said there has
been a distressing lowering of
standards in broadcast mat-


erials in recent years, but he
does not believe the tax-
payers of Florida are willing
to pay for obscene and objec-
tionable material going out
over their stations and into
their homes.
Calling the American home
"sacred", Hutto said there
must not be a recurrence of
the raw, gutter-type language
such as that aired on the
Tallahassee station. He
stated that the broadcasting
of such material may place
the station's FCC license in
jeopardy if there is a continu-
ation.

Contributions to political
candidates by the big milk
producers of America remind
us of the story of the preach-
er who visited a saloon bar
every morning promptly at 11
o'clock.
The preacher's presence
there, when he ordered a
glass of milk, shamed the
topers, and sales of the "hard
stuff" began to decline.


The bartender decided he
would discourage the preach-
er from coming, so the next
time the parson came in and
ordered a glass of milk, the
bartender put about three
ounces of good sour mash
bourbon in the glass and
filled it up with cold milk.
The preacher drank the
potion down, and then said in
a loud voice, "my, what a


cow."
The milk felds have had
quite a cow. They contributed
to Nixon, Hubert Humphrey
and others, including per-
haps, Senator George Mc-
Govern. Thpy financed Re-
presentativeq Mills to the tune
of over a quarter of a million
dollars, and latest reports
have it that John Conally got
a tidy sum.


We do not see how folks
such as Wilbur Mills and
others can sit in the Congress
in judgment of Richard Nixon
on campaign contributions
with milk foam on their
faces. Contributions from the
tycoon, Howard Hughes,,
don't smell quite as bad as
money from milk producers.
Children and sick folks must
have milk, and what the milk


folks have done certainly in-
creases the price of the
necessary commodity.
We have about decided that
President Nixon ain't no
smarter than the fellow who
invented the two-piece gravy
boat.
When the first word about
tapes of private conversa-
tions made the news, Presi-
dent Nixon should have burn-


ed all the tapes. There is
nothing in the law to make a
President keep a record of
his private conversations.
Not to destroy them was an
act of stupidity on the part of
the President.
We believe that Harry Tru-
man could have sworn more
convincingly than President

Before I forget it for. the third week in a
row, let me identify those two young boys in
the picture published three weeks ago. They
were Cecil Costin, Jr., and Dave Maddox.
The picture came from Dave who said it
was made on one of Cecil's trips to Oak Grove
to ride Dave's pony. That was quite a walk.
The Costin's lived in the same location as the
present Costin home and Dave and his parents
lived in the old Patton place in Oak Grove. As
Dave says, "That was out in the country in
those days."

John Rutherford won the Indianapolis
"500" Sunday afternoon by driving that 1500
pound car for an average of 180 miles per hour.
Driving 70 to 75 on the freeway gives me
the jitters. How could a man of Rutherford's
age drive over 200 miles per hour for over
three hours? As bad as I need the money,
Rutherford can have my part of it one has to
get in that manner.
I read where one writer described the race
as a contest which was controlled by rationing.
The racers were allowed only 280 gallons of
fuel to drive the 500 miles. On the TV Sunday
night, it was pointed out the manned bullets
managed only 1.8 miles per gallon. That,' less
mileage than one of those huge highway van
trucks.
They said over 300,000 paid to see the race.
Personally, I can get far more thrills in other
ways. I get far more kick out of watching a
sizeable bream make circles in the water at the
end of a limber cane pole.

The Legislature is supposed to close up
shop at the end of this week and go home. Our
Representative William J. Rish, tells me he
doesn't see any need nor any inclination for an
extended session. The men will all go home on
schedule.
An editorial writer in the Tallahassee
Democrat says it has been a ho-hum session
with the biggest piece of legislation to come
forth is the one allowing collective bargaining
by public employees.
Already the firemen over in Panama City
have been taking advantage of the proposed
bill by picketing the City Hall for a raise in
salary. Of course, the public workers cannot
strike under the law, so one has misgiving'
about just how effective the bill will be in
meeting the needs of the workers. It may cause
so much frustration among workers and
employers alike it may cause more confusion
than good.


It's nearly a month still, by the calendar,
until summer time. The 90 degree weather we
had over the week end sort of rushed things up
a little. It may not be summer yet, but we have
all the ingredients already on hand for the time
when summer officially arrives.

Walter Wilson, editor and publisher of the
Chiefland Citizen, and an employee of The Star
back in the days of the asafetida bag, wrote the
other day, "The Good Lord put a lot of fittin
vittles on this earth, but when he put down
mullet, swamp cabbage and grits, he rested on
the summit."

Look again Walter; right here in the
middle of .the: "season", you can't afford to
leave out'fresh butter beans, tomatoes, corn on
the cob and fresh tender squash.


Florida Power Corp., is in the process of
changing managers here in Port St. Joe, and
there is a group of business men and private
citizens who feel the utility should place Jim
Cox of Port St. Joe in the position.
We go along with that thinking. I know
FPC has more or less adopted a policy of
placing graduate engineers in the position of
manager, but this hasn't always worked out to 'E
the best advantage of the utility nor to the
satisfaction of the people in their service area.

We feel Jim has been with the firm long
enough to know a watt from an ohm. He
certainly knows the local distribution system.
Better yet, he knows the local people and gets
along with them well. Like I say, FPC may
stick with their policy of placing a graduate
engineer here, but we feel they would be well
served along with their customers if they place
Cox in the position. As we see it, satisfying
customers is what it's all about.

Want A

Letter

The Port St. Joe Jaycees
and Robert Montgomery, pro-
ject chairman, are asking
everyone to write a letter to
their senators and represent-
atives requesting something
to be done about the Highland',
View bridge. The, feel that
with letters p6uririg'in to the'1
legislature and petitions be-
ing signed for delivery to the
governor's office there will
be a very' good possibility of
getting something done.
The Jaycees' push to get
something done on the bridge
project has met with good
results .and people are
responding in great numbers
to the petitions being circu-
lated by the Jaycees.
Montgomery said that the
club has felt all along that
the bridge should not be re-
paired but rather replaced
with an overpass.

last Thursday of the con-
struction of the new wood
yard at the mill. Wood ar-
rives in the familiar short
lengths, long logs and the
newer chips. All are handled
with machinery.
The new, wood yard has
been renovated to give the
wood feeding process a
straight line to the digesters.
Wood is pulled off rail cars
and trucks by a special ma-
chine into the flume, which
transports it to the barking
drums, continuing in a
straight line to the chippers.
The wood formerly made sev-
eral turns in the feeding
process.


The new wood yard has two
new barking drums, and a
huge machine which tips an
entire truck load or rail car
load of chips up into the air
shaking the chips out the
back.

The program was shown to
the Rotarians by Bob Smith
and Don Carson, president
and vice president of R. S.
Noonan Company, the firm
which installed the wood

Bids were received on a

the county. On motion by
Raffield, seconded by Ard, all
voted Yes to accept the low-
est and best bid of Anders

amount of $6,166.00. Only one
bid was received. A copy of

Among points of evidence, he
cites the confluence of three
rivers (the Apalachicola,
Chattahoochee and Flint) and
the presence of certain rare

'ATTEST: J. David Bidwell,
Superintendent


Alum Bluff area, north of
Bristol and a few miles up-
stream from where the Corps
of Engineers has proposed
building a low level dam to
aid navigation.,
Callaway says the proposed
dam and levee would not
harm the Garden of Eden or
the oysters in Apalachicola
Bay. Rather, he says, it
would bring needed com-
merce to an impoverished
area.
He has written a letter to
the Jaycees of Apalachicola,
as follows:
"Dear Young Men:
"Neither you, nor anyone
else, can explain. how the
building of a low water dam
across the Apalachicola
River 75 or 80 miles north of
Apalachicola could possiblyy
hurt the oyster business.
"But when I drive around
Apalachicola and see the
poverty which your own lead-
ers caused to exist there, and
the empty and -lilapidated
bug and rat infested buildings


along your waterfront, I think
that I would be willing to
exchange the oyster business
for a modern, thriving com-
mercial and industrial com-
munity. You need to visit the
port cities around the country
and see what the develop-
ment of navigation on the
river from the mineral dis-,
tricts of North Alabama and
Georgia would bring to you
young people and your chil-
dren.
"Selfish propaganda is one
of the most powerful red
lights in the face of the young
people of this country today.
There are a half dozen men
in the Blountstown area who
are the most active in oppos-
ing the development of the
river. But not one of them
has ever done anything to
develop a better life for the
people of Calhoun County.
Every one of them has had
his hands in the taxpayers'
pockets for years in order to
eat. They do not build fac-


stories, create wealth, have
payrolls to help other people.
What land they own, they in-
herited from ancestors who
got it for practically nothing.
They are afraid that a few
acres of their inherited lands
might be covered with water,
even though the U. S. Govern-
ment would pay them twice
what it is actually worth. But
so long as they can get
checks from Tallahassee or
Washington to operate their
schools and County govern-
ment, and to feed the victims
of antiquated ignorance, they
will oppose the development
of the river. Their pride and
joy is the mold which has
gathered on their laziness for
a 100 years.-
"Think it over, boys, and
then get up, wake up and
live."

For over 5,000 years, RX has sym-

used the magic eye of Horus,
God of Day, as a charm to guard
them against ills and suffering.
Centuries later, the eye reap-
peared in a form similar to our

its present RX. But your doctor

state of repair of the Stokes

ing the Board of the increas-
ed amount of paper work

that in view of recent deve-
lopments in the legislature

department. The Board
agreed to consider such pro-
posal along with other alter-
natives to be discussed.

der surveillance by the Sher-
iff's Department, simply be-
cause they are trying to do a
job reporting the news.

ment, there have been no

was true.

ment of Revenue, addressed

strative Order 073-33 is com-
plied with, the 1974 Gulf
County Tax Roll will be dis-
approved. Commissioner
Graham asked that Mr.
Patrick be called to the meet-
ing. Upon Mr. Patrick's ar-
rival, Comm. Graham asked
him if he would be able to
comply with this order. Mr.
Patrick stated that three of

pleted. Comm. Graham said
that all six items had to be
completed and the County
needed assurance it would
have a 1974 Tax Roll to sup-
port County government. The

pared by the Department of

Commissioner Player told
the Board of a request from
two property owners to have
dirt hauled to their property.
He said he had been unable
to convince these people that
dirt recently hauled on a
county road, and removed by
a property owner to private
property, was not county
policy. In the future, the
Road Superintendent agreed
to try and spread dirt as soon
as possible to prevent a
recurrence of the removal of
dirt.
The Mosquito Control Sup-
ervisor informed the Board of
the problems in keeping
adults from fishing in the

dren's fishing rodeo. After

inate a children's fishing
rodeo on Saturday, May 25,

ervisor discussed the need for
a land fill site in the Wewa-
hitchka area. He stated he

serited a map, with a possible
site, provided the easement
could be obtained. The Board
agreed to L," to the property
owners upon approval of the
location by the proper state
authorities.

Whitfield moved the Board
tentatively adopt the follow-
ing budget amendment and
advertise for a public hearing

There being no further bus-
iness, the meeting was ad-
journed.


TALLAHASSEE Secre-
tary of State Richard (Dick)
Stone, by law Florida's chief
elections official, said he
hopes that citizens who are
not registered to vote "plan
to change their status soon
and in great numbers so we
can turn the tide 'against
voter apathy."
"This is a critical election
year. They all are important,
but 1974 needs a show of
citizen turnout and participa-
tion that will turn this state
and country around," Secre-
tary Stone said.
"The time to register to

be put off. We still have thou-

The Department of Trans-
portation notified the Board
that paving of Chipola Ave-
nue would be held in abey-
ance until road right of way

man requested City Commis-
sioner Ed Bandjough of

this matter.
Upon motion by Comm.
Graham, seconded by Comm.

Commissioner Money pre-
sented work projects for the
Road Department and Mos-

plaints about location of bee
hives near persons that were
allergic to bee stings. The
Board concurred that this
was a civil matter for the
courts to decide.
After discussion, the Clerk
was instructed to write a
strong resolution informing
the Department of Transpor-
tation, Governor Askew and
Legislators of the recent acci-
dent at Highland View Bridge
and the need to replace the
bridge.
The Chairman directed the
Mosquito Control Supervisor
to repair that part of a fence

tered," the Secretary of State
said.
In 1972, Secretary Stone
conducted a study on voting
in Florida and concluded that
voter apathy was increasing-1
ly prevalent, and that one big
reason was that the average
citizen "feels what's the
use?"
"There is plenty the citizen
can do. And this is done with
participation and showing up
at the ballot box. I hope our
voter registration offices are
very busy these coming
months," he said.

NOTES

from the

Port St. Joe


High School

CARL GUILFORD, JR.


The Senior Class of 1974 is
very proud to announce grad-
uation ceremonies to begin at
8:00 P.M., Tuesday, June 4.
This is my last article, and
I would to like to say every-
thing that I should have said
but haven't.
This area has the most
beautiful beaches "I have ever
seen. When some cousins of
mine that live in south Flor-
ida began telling me of the
beaches at Fort Lauderdale,
I couldn't believe it. I got
nauseated as they told of
dune-to-dune people, huge
condominiums built right
down to the water's edge, and
garbage beyond imagination.
Please, don't let that happen
here.
Even now, in the quiet
before the storm, small cot-
tages are springing" up all
along the beach. I realize
that there are certain legal
policies that allow these pro-
jects, but I can't help feeling
that some of my rights are
being denied. It disgusts me
that I can be within 20 yards
of those sparkling waves, and
yet not see them for a few
grotesque houses. Please
don't let a lust for money
blind you to beauty. After all,
you can't take it with you, so
leave something for us.
The world is changing
quickly-very quickly. The
United States is now a super-
industrial nation. This coun-
try has a great need for tech-
nicians: people highly versed
in mathematics and science.
During my stay at this high
school, I have not seen these
skills emphasized. If any-
thing, they have been
de-emphasized.
In the future-no, right now
-more and more jobs are
being performed by mach-
ines. Mechanization is here.
The best way to prepare for
it is to outwit it. The best way
to outwit it is to educate
yourself for a position of con-
trol over these machines.
This requires a knowledge of
mathematics, science, mach-
inery and many, many other
things.
What I am trying to say is
this: if Port St. Joe High
School doesn't do something
to upgrade its educational
standards and policies, the
students are going to suffer
the consequences. A pretty,
ultra-modern building is just
so much dust if it does not
house a good educational pro-
gram.
I would like to say that I

Social security has about
$69.7 million available in this
fiscal year for vocational re-
habilitation services for peo-
ple getting monthly disability
benefits, according to Robert
Latta, Social Security Repre-
sentative for Gulf County.

"That's over $24 million
more than was available in
fiscal 1973," Latta said. "The
additional money means
more disabled people can get
training through their State
vocational rehabilitation
agencies that will help them
return to jobs."

Social security pays month-

and their families if the

Marvin Adkins


Snakebite in Florida is a
rarity.
Nevertheless, it's a good
idea to know something about
snakes, especially if you ex-
pect to spend much time in
the woods, advises the Divi-
sion of Forestry, Florida De-
partment of Agriculture and
Consumer Services.
At the very least, know that
Florida has six species of
poisonous snakes
Could you identify those
dangerous fellows on a mom-
ent's notice?
Meet the coral snake. He's
a shy, introverted snake-not
very likely to attack unless
he's startled, tormented or
cornered. There is a strong
resemblance between the

Dean's

List

Marvin Adkins, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Thomas J. Adkins,
121 Hunter Circle, was placed
on the Dean's List for the
spring semester at Gulf Coast
Community College.
He maintained a 3.50 aver-
age for the semester.


coral snake and the harmless
scarlet king snake. Both have
red, yellow and black mark,
ings. Almost the only. way to
distinguish the two quickly is
that on the coral snake, the
red and yellow bands touch.
On the king snake, the red
and black bands are touch-
ing. Put to rhyme, here's a
simple expedient for remem-
bering that: "Red and. yel-
low, kill a fellow. Red and
black, can't kill Jack."
The Cottonmouth mocca-
sin: his color varies. He may
be olive, brownish or bhlack-
.,ish. When disturbed, 'the
snake goes into a loose coil,
cocks the head and opens his
mouth to reveal a cottony
white fining.
The Eastern diamond-back
strikes generally from a coil
and generally sounds a warn-
ing. But not always. He can
deliver a strike from any
position and in any direction.
Some remain quiet and strike
without warning. A'diamond-
back strike is always a ser-
ious matter. But with. prompt
treatment, most people
recover.
Florida's ground rattler or
pygmy rattlesnake habitats
in palmetto flatwoods, but
can be found in almost any
locality, actually. It has a
quicktrigger disposition but
its bite has rarely been found
fatal.
The canebrake rattlesnake
prefers north Florida living.
To many, he's known 'as .the


timber rattler. He is pinkish
or grayish in color, distin-
guished by dark cross-bands
and an orange stripe down
the middle of his back. This
rattlesnake is slenderer than
the diamond-back. He hangs
out around abandoned fields


and farms until hot weather,
when he might glide off
toward low swampy areas.
Least common of Florida
.poisonous snakes is the cop-
,perhead. He's virtually un-
Iknown except in a few- coun-
ties of northwest Florida.
