Here to. present Patrick with a plaque, a medal and a, pin %were Col. Peter P. Pierce Jr., State Director of Selec- tive Service and R. C. Dove. A citation presented Pat- rick said, in part, "Samuel A. Patrick has served the Selec- tive Service System with honor and distinction from January 17,' 1941 'titil' the- present time. His loyal and unselfish service in the ad- ministration of the Military Selective Service Act has ma- terially assisted the System in achieving the equity and uniformity envisioned by the Commission Sets Hearing The Gulf County Planning Commission will present the fruits of their several months of labor in a public hearing tonight in the Gulf County Courthouse. According to Hugh W. White, chairman of the Board, they have finished their work in conjunction with the Northwest Florida Development Council and have their plan ready for presentation to the County Commission. The plan contains sugges- tions for future county growth and suggests ways to plan for the future and sug- gests regulations which should be put into effect to relieve the pressures which are applied to the tax payer in uncontrolled growth and land use. The public is invited to attend the meeting. Congress of the United States." Patrick has served con- tinuously as an Advisor to Registrants for Local Board No. 9, Apalachicola and as a volunteer Registrar. Escapee Passes Through S,.An,,esohped prisoner',fromr' ' the Bay County Mental Health Unit was apprehended Monday night after he caught a bus from the Trailways Station in Port St. Joe Mon- day morning, reports Sheriff Raymond Lawrence. David Lockwood, alias Kim S. King, 27, was arrested May 21 for breaking into Car- swell Drugs in Panama City. At that time he was appre- hended with about $10,000 worth of narcotics and dan- gerous drugs. He was placed in the Bay County Mental Health Unit a short time later, as his heavy use of narcotics had affected his mental abilities. Last Thursday night, Lock- wood escaped from the men- tal health unit, and Carswell Drugs was entered again on Friday. Shortly after noon Monday, Sgt. Tom Berlinger received information that Lockwood and a companion caught a bus from Port St. Joe and headed to South Florida. Mrs. Frank Pate was questioned about the pair, and verified that the two persons fitting the des- cription bought two tickets to Bradenton. The bus was stopped by Marion County Sheriff's deputies in Ocala, and Lock- wood was apprehended. Hugh W. White, represent- ing the Gulf County Planning Commission asked the Coun- ty Commission Tuesday if the Board wished for his commit- tee to continue their planning activities and expand into the areas of setting up require- ments for future subdivisions in the County. White called attention of the Board to the fact that the county makes no require- ments of subdivisions at the present time except that they "bring streets up to, grade and establish corner posts." "I see now where this can get the county in all kinds of trouble", White said. "For instance", he said, "you have a group making plans to put 10,000 apartments on the Pe- ninsula now. This will mean 20,000 people. If you have no requirements now for roads, water and sewer the develop- ers must install with their development we can wake up one morning to find a com- munity with 20,000 votes which can vote to require the tax payers to put in these services." White pointed to two other large land sales in the county with intentions of subdividing and said the same danger exists in these instances also. Strikes Pole This automobile, driven by Robert Lee Watson, 17, of Port St. Joe skidded on wet pavement Monday afternoon, striking a The Board admitted to White they had no controls over subdivisions but they preferred county citizens set up these regulations to suit .the county and asked the committee to work with the Board to set up guidelines, excluding the Northwest De- velopment Council in this plan. White said his committee would be glad to assist the Board in this matter and urged that the matter not be put off. Allen Bates, present rep- resenting the NWFDC said such a plan should be the decision of the local people and also urged the County to get at the problem. "Gulf county is now in a situation where the tax payers may be penalized in the future if they aren't protected now with regulations," he said. AMBULANCE SERVICE The cloudy ambulance ser- vice picture for Gulf County brightened somewhat at Tuesday's meeting with Rep- resentative William J. Rish announcing he had been suc- cessful in the Legislature in securing exemption for small *communities in the need of providing Emergency Medi- cal Technicians being kept on a ready basis 24 hours a day for ambulance service. "We can now operate a service with volunteers, much the same way we operate our fire departments". he said. The Representative em- phasized the County would have to purchase at least two approved vehicles for the service and should begin making plans to do this as soon as possible. He suggest- ed that W. P. Comforter, who presently provides ambu- lance service from his funer- Port St. Joe and Gulf Coun- ty will have driver license renewal service available five days a week begin- ning around July 1 according to Dave Corbin, Driver Li- cense Officer for this area, Corbin told the County Commission Tuesday the Div- sion of Public Safety has ordered a portable office to place on the Courthouse pro- perty for delivery around utility pole at the corner of Eighth Street and Monument Avenue. The impact of the crash broke the pole off just above the ground. Watson wasn't hurt. He was charged by Port St. Joe Police with failure to have his vehicle under control. al home be requested to continue the service for 30 to 60 days until the County can buy vehicles. Comforter has said he is dropping the ser- vice after June 30 of this year because of the great amount of paper work required by the State. Comforter is work- ing on a special permit, now, until the County could come up with a plan. His permit expires June 30. Telephone contact with Comforter verified the fact he would continue since the July 1. The service will even- tually be housed in a building the Commission plans, to build on their property. Cor- bin wasn't more definite about when the service would be available full time be- cause, as he said, "paper work has to be done first and the completion date of this operation isn't that certain." Corbin asked for and re- ceived permission to use the office he now uses if the service is approved before the temporary office arrives. The examiner said Mrs. Debbie Berlinger ofPort S.t,, Joe has been employed to maintain the office full time. Obtaining a drivers' license has presented a problem in the past since the office has been open only on Tuesday's, resulting in long waits for many applicants. Corbin gave Rep. William J. Rish credit for securing the service for Gulf County. Officials of Port St. Joe High School announced that report cards will be mailed Thursday, June 13, if a stu- dent brought a stamped enve- lope. If he did not, his report card may be picked up at the school Friday, June 14. Summer school begins Monday, June 17. The courses to be offered are: English, Social studies, math, home economics, driver's educa- tion, physical education (boys and girls), industrial arts, auto mechanics and art. The courses will be avail- able to all students in grades 7-12. Any student who needs help in these areas is encour- aged to come. All courses are free. County is beginning to take steps to relieve him of this responsibility. In the mean- time, chairman S. C. Player is in the process of appointing a committee of citizens to work with the Board and Sheriff Raymond Lawrence to come up with a program of volunteer operated service. The County now has funds on hand to purchase one vehicle, provided by state funds and must fund the other with county money. RISH REPORTS Rep. William J. Rish also reported the County will not be receiving ownership of 47 miles of primary roads to county ownership in the near future. The state has an- nounced they are turning SR 22, the Overstreet Road, the extension of Garrison Avenue and several other short roads over to county owner- ship for the county to main- tain. Rish said the problem is the Department of Transpor- tation -has a limit to the mileage of primary roads they will own and with growth in South Florida at a rapid rate, they are divesting themselves of primary roads not travelled extensively to allow more mileage to be built in populous areas. He pointed out this reason- ing has been dented and in -any event, the DOT has pro- mised to put all roads in first class shape before deeding them to the county. "Do you have any idea of how much it will cost to re-work all the primary roads north of Gainesville?" he asked: "The DOT can't .possibly do it in less than five years and I feel we can do some more good in that length of time." Rish said he also felt the DOT would need additional legislation to enable them to turn roads back to counties. OTHER BUSINESS In other business, the Board: -Agreed to pay delinquent dues of $1,110.56 for member- ship to the Northwest Florida Development Council. The dues have not been paid in two years. -Received a letter from Samuel A. Patrick reducing his $108,952.00 previous bud- get request by $50,000.00. Pat- rick's budget was $35,000.00 last year. -Started work on selecting pollholders for the September 10, October 1 and November 5 elections. -Heard a report that Real- track, Inc., has complied with requirements of the Bu- reau of Planning for their planned development on St. Joseph's Peninsula. Allen Questions Curriculum Ferrell Allen, Jr., appeared before the Gulf County School Board last week and expres- sed a concern for what he believed to be a deterioration or relaxing of academic stan- dards in the high school curriculum in favor of a stronger emphasis on voca- tional education. Allen expressed a concern that no science courses were presently being offered on the ninth grade level in Port St. Joe High School for the next school term. He also expres- sed concern that only seven of the 15 credits needed for graduation were required subjects. He specifically pointed to the fact that only two credits in English and only one in mathematics were required in the top three grades. Allen said, "It seems to me the school is relaxing its requirements for a student to get through school". Superintendent of Schools, David Bidwell said the school has previously required more subjects than the state for graduation but pointed to the fact that only one English credit had been dropped from past requirements. "The state stipulates two years of English in the last three grades and we have been requiring three", Bidwell said. Bidwell went on to say the ninth grade science had not been offered for lack of an instructor but went on to say the School Board hoped to have this position filled be- fore school begins in the fall. He defended the emphasis on vocational subjects "to en- courage more students to finish high school rather than drop out". Bidwell said, "We don't intend to abandon or dilute our academic program but are offering another avenue for those students who prefer to learn a trade rather than major on academics." Allen said he felt the School Board should review its aca- demic program and examine the curriculum further. He pointed out '"Last year 56 percent of the graduates en- tered college. In 1971 only 30 percent enrolled in institu- tions of higher learning." In Allen's opinion this called for providing a strong academic program to prepare the stu- dents to cope with college subjects. He didn't feel the .school should neglect the vo- cational program but felt it shouldn't be emphasized at the expense of academic sub- jects. Bidwell stated the number of required subjects were relaxed only to give the stu- dent desiring vocational sub- jects time in his class sche- dule to take them. He said, "The responsibility for guid- ing the student into more academics should be that of the parent. We intend to continue offering them". Allen pointed out that of the 15 credits required to grad- uate, subjects required in- cluded, for the top three grades, two credits of lan- guage arts, one credit in math, one credit in physical education, one credit in science and two in social studies. The remainder are elective. Allen said he intended to pursue the matter further until he was satisfied a well balanced academic curricu- lum was being offered. Bidwell said he welcomed Allen's concern and felt more parents should be just as concerned over the quality of their child's education. o r r .1F See Disney World Port St. Joe High School Seniors left from the school Friday afternoon, headed for Disney World in two school buses. The seniors enjoyed a night at the popular attraction Friday night with other seniors in the state until 5:00 in the morning. After the tour, they loaded back on the buses and arrived home Saturday afternoon about 4:00 p.m. A rough trip, but the night of fun was worth it, the Seniors said.

Recreation Equipment Needlessly Destroyed What has become an annual recreation program will begin Mon- day of next week for the youngsters of the Port St. Joe area. The City and the School Board spend con- siderable money each year to pro- vide supervised recreation for the kids. Most people appreciate it. At last week's City Commission meeting, Clerk Charles Brock told the Commissioners of a need for a good deal of work which needed to be done to the nine hole pitch and putt golf course before it could be used in the program. Brock report- ed that while some of the work was due to a natural growth of weeds and erosion to parts of the course, an unreal amount of repairs was due to vandalism of the facility. Brock said the same thing held true of other facilities in the City in- cluding the tennis courts and ball diamonds. It seems flags, bases, markers and other material needs in the game areas are maliciously des- troyed, stolen or damaged. Again, let us remind you that the City taxpayers pay for these things. The purchase price, and repairs comes out of your pocket. Too, the facilities are provided for those who apparently cause the damage. We shake our heads in, wonder at the stupid bird which fouls its own nest, but aren't we humans doing the same thing when we allow things to be destroyed which are purchased with our money for our use? We don't labor under the dillu- sion that all of the mischief can be stopped and things remain in use- able order until they wear out from use and time. We do feel that parents and adults could be very instrumental in seeing that those things provided are left alone for use as it was intended. As a 'taxpayer, we.,would. ap- preciate a little more care being' 'taken with 'these items. We're just as sure those who use the recrea- tion facilities would appreciate the game aids being available and useable when they are needed. Etaoin Shrdlu by WESLEY R.

Star p Flag Day Nearly two centuries ago, on June 14, 1777, the Continental Con- gress adopted the Stars and Stripes as the gof.fciial United States flag. Tomorrow, officially designated by law as Flag Day," Americans, can appropriately celebrate the anni- versary of that historic event by flying the flag. Although the Stars and Stripes was the first truly national flag, it was based on a number of earlier colonial and Revolutionary War flags which bore such resolute inscriptions as "Conquer or Die", "Liberty", "An Appeal to Heaver", and the famous "Don't Tread on Me." General George Washington explained the evolution and sym- bolism of the Stars and Stripes in these words: "We take the star from Heaven, the red from. our mother country, separating it by white stripes, thus showing that we have separated from her, and the white stripes shall go down to posterity representing liberty." Early versions of the nation's official flag continued to lack uni- formity. Some bore stars in a circle, others in columns. In 1794, the flag even gained two additional stripes. Then, in 1818, the flag reverted back to 13 stripes repre- senting the original colonies, and it was decided that each new state would be represented by a ster on the union of the flag. Each time we recite the Pledge of Allegiance, we do so to two things: a symbol, "The Flag", and what that symbol stands for, "The Republic". This is perhaps unique in the world. Elsewhere, citizens swear loyalty to a country their homeland. An American, however, swears his loyalty to a nation with a particular form of government: a Republic, with "liberty and justice for all". Although the United States is still a junior among the family of nations, that form of government, embedded in our Constitution, is now the oldest on earth. Let's show our pride in this priceless heritage by pulling that flag out of the closet on Friday and flying it. School Board Getting Into Summer Program The School Board will be able to sponsor their share of the summer recreation pro- gram as it has in previous years. When we went to press last week, it was unknown as to whether the School Board could sponsor the recreation under the new F.T.E. Fund- ing Law that went into effect this year. The program this year will be another joint venture of the City and schools. The major change this year is that the Port St. Joe High School will open academic programs only and not recre- ation. The academic program will begin June 17 and run from eight to 12 each day. The students who wish to sign up to enter these courses need to sign up at the high school this week or on Mon- day. The courses to be offered if enough students sign up are: physical education, home economics, art, wood work and shop, auto mechanics, social studies, English and math. A summer band program will be held at the high school, but plans are incom- plete on this program, and the beginning date will be announced later. Hold Still! This dog didn't want to hold still for his rabies innoculation Saturday afternoon at The Port St. Joe Elemen- tary School will offer a re- creation program from 8:30 - 12 and 1:00 to 3:30 each day.

Atlanta is going to have to raise the price of tickets, since they are already selling out every seat in the stadium every year and IL still are on the brink of just breaking even. In the face of the new football league planning to go into operation, the National Football League has decided to expand to 22 Steams.

Those re-appointed to regu- lar four-year terms are Board Chairman George Tapper, Vice-Chairman Wil- liam Welliver, and Dr. Wil- liam Carter. Each was originally ap- pointed in 1969 to fill unex- pired terms, and was re- appointed the following year when former state senator Tapper of Port St. Joe, and Welliver accepted their pre- sent positions. ~i Once again the lowly copper penny has become an item of scarcity. The metal which goes into making the coin is worth more than the purchasing power of the coin. *- I remember, back in the "big war" when the copper penny began to disappear. It wasn't because of the value as opposed to the purchasing power back then. It was a matter of saving the scarce copper for defense purposes. Back then pennies were made of zinc for a period of time and served their purpose very well. Truly now, a penny has reached its low ebb S in life. Hardly anything can be purchased for a penny; though a few things can be purchased for two or three, such as a box of matches, a Merrill Sherrill on June 1. piece of peppermint candy and a handful of Evans was employed for 36 years and piece of peppermint candy and a handful of Carr for 23 years by St. Joe Paper other things. The word is that penny candy is Company. Evans displays his feelings about going the way of the gooney bird and bubble St. Joe Paper Company with the sign he is gum probably won't be far behind. When this holding and carried on the back of his car happens, the only use for a penny then will be for several days. to feed a parking meter and make change. There's some talk about the different 'business houses printing penny scrip to pass 'out in place of the real thing. But from first S .' hand experience, I can tell you that if the price 4. of paper continues to go up and the availability continues to deteriorate, a paper penny is no long-term substitute for a copper penny. ~cJnr r THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla.

At any given time, one Ameri- can in six is planning to move from one residence to another according to census estimates. That's about 36 million people on the move. If you expect to move and are one of the almost 27 mil- lion people who get social security checks every month, you should notify your social security office. Prompt notice of a move will assure deli- very of your social security check to your new address without delay or interruption. When you contact the social security office, be able to furnish the social security claim number that appears on your check-as well as your complete old address and complete new address with ZIP code.

"I would sit-and watch' the football games on television and I'd hear them call out some player's weight. I'd think, 'Oh, my God, I weight -more then he does'." Peggy Whitfield of Port St.. Joe can talk all she wants to about having been built like a football player, but you'll never believe it. This trim brunette fifth grade teacher looks never to have had a weight problem.. But she did. And she has the photos to prove it, al- though it's hard to recognize her under those disguising layers of flesh. A little less than three years ago, this young teach- By Shannon Smith Home Grounds Specialist University of Florida For you do-it-yourself gar- deners, here are a few simple ideas you can use at home for propagation of your orna- mentals. The beds, benches and seedflats used for commer- cial plant propagation are too large for home use but many small units can be set-up using materials you probably have hidden in your garage. Aquariums make ideal pro- pagation units. Place at least an inch of gravel in the tank bottom for drainage of water from the overlying media. A three to four inch layer of coarse sand, sphagnum moss or a half and half mixture of peat and perlite or other pro- pagation medium is placed on top of the gravel. Moisten the medium and insert your cuttings or sow seed. A glass or plastic cover on top of the 01 .0 S.

"But in the long run, you lose weight for yourself, no matter what any- one says." The event which triggered her into losing weight, how- ever, was a visit from her mother, whose home is in West Palm Beach. ."Mother had lost 52 pounds," Peggy said, "and I was impressed." Then she added, "When I found out she was going to Weight Watch- ers, I decided to try it, too." "I struggled for three months on my own because there was no Weight Watch- aquarium will keep the hum- idity high within the contain- er and prevent wilting of cut- tings. Plastic or polyethylene bags can also be used as pro- pagating units. Wrap damp sphagnum moss around the base of cuttings, insert into the plastic bag and tie the top. A few small holes in the bag will insure air exchange. Don't disturb until the cut- tings are rooted. The plastic bag can also be used to enclose an ordinary clay flower pot in which cuttings have been stuck. A couple of sticks in the-pot will keep the bag from collapsing on the cuttings. Almost any type of large container can become a pro-. pagating unit. A one-gallon or five-quart oil can is a good choice. Remove the top and wash out any oil residue.

She is sitting in her home overlooking the blue waters of the Gulf. Occasion- ally she is interrupted by Laurel, three or David, five, who just have come in from a swim. She continues, "Finally I got up the courage to go into Panama City to a. class. It was easier to lose weight then because every week I had to face that monster." (Describing the scale, not her lecturer.) "The second week I was joined' by my friend Mary Lou Eaker (Mrs. Burt Eaker) of Port St. Joe. She went with me and she lost 451/2 pounds to reach her goal and has kept the weight off ever since." Mrs. Whitfield lost the re- mainder of the 83 extra pounds she carried, in five months of Panama City Weight Watchers classes. Port St. Joe women, how- ever, no longer have to travel to Panama City to attend classes. Mrs. Whitfield holds a class at 7 p.m. each Tues- day, with an average 35 per- sons attending. What causes a person to gain too much weight? Well, in Mrs. Whitfield's case, she said, "I moved here from West Palm Beach. when I was 17. I started to eat fried chicken and fried shrimp and vegetables cooked with pork. I put on about 10 pounds a year." When she went to Florida State University, Peggy said, "I would starve and lose, then splurge on meatball sandwiches. I did pretty well, anyway, and stayed a size 16. Then I got married." (to Robert Whitfield.) Like many other women, Peggy Whitfield found that her marriage heralded a re- newed struggle with obesity. "I ate when I was happy and I ate when I was un- happy," she declared. My husband never harassed me, but I had zero-minus self- confidence." Then she found that she was to have a child. "My doctor weighed me and al- most had a nervous break- down," the vivacious young woman laughed. "But I lost 22 pounds and had a nine pound baby, so I guess that should have given me the confidence to know I could lose weight if I really tried." Later, she said, she deve- loped a kidney stone and had to be taken to the hospital in great pain. "I was the kind/of fat person who always tries' to keep herself up, to dress neatly, be clean, keep my hair and nails done," she re- marked, "but sick like that, I know I didn't look too: good, and, when the orderly wheel- ed me upstairs, I could tell by the look on his face that he was disgusted." Her "zero-minus self-confi- dence" again. Of course, her self-confi- dence wasn't increased by things like the chalk incident at school. "I had a thing about 'Hot Tamales'," she related. "It was the only candy which still cost five cents, so I had a habit of sending one of the school children to the store across the street to bring me several packages." Well, one afternoon, she continued, she and several other teachers were holding a meeting in her room after school. "I was doing some figures tween top and bottom. Fill the can with small pea gravel to within Vz inch of 'the holes then cover the gravel with a one inch layer of sphagnum moss and fill the remainder of the can with sand. Wet the mix until water drains from the holes in the side of the can. This unit has a built-in water reservoir. Moisture will evaporate from the sur- face sand but water from the lower reservoir will move upward by capillarity like oil up a wick. Under normal conditions this unit will re- quire water every 10 to 14 days. Such a unit will hold about 20 three to. four inch cuttings of azalea, holly, hibi- scus or similar plants.. This unit can be covered with polyethylene to reduce mois- ture loss but keep the unit out of full sun because it can become extremely hot ynder the plastic. Numerous other containers such as pans, boxes or bas- kets can be used similarly to the units described. Make sure the containers have suf- ficient drainage so that the mix is not continually satu- rated with water. All of these units should be placed in par- tial shade. The cuttings must be prevented from drying out as would quickly occur in direct sunlight. Also, if cut- tings are enclosed in plastic, temperatures in full sun will become so high that scalding will occur and cuttings can die. Experiment with these and other propagating units ydu make up yourself. You will be rewarded with plants to use around your home and they will cost you nothing except for the materials needed to build the propaga- tion units. S- CADILLAC PONTIAC LEMANS FIREBIRD .

Ugh! What a terrible taste!" She makes a face, remem- bering. "Suddenly," she con- tinued, "it occurred to me I had put a piece of chalk in my mouth." Embarrassed that, as she said, "I was such a glutton I didn't even notice I was popping chalk into my mouth," she said she was determined to "eat the whole thing if it killed me. So I crunched and crunched, smil- ing, thinking 'If you die, you're going to swallow that chalk'." She said, "I promised God then that if he'd let me live, I'd never eat another 'Hot Tamale'. And I haven't." Fat people, however, have a built-in mechanism for helping them forget embar- rassing incidents, the attrac- tive Weight Watcher contend- ed, so even .after the chalk incident it took her a while to decide to do something about her overweight. AFTER "I like food too much to starve," she explained at one time. And continued, "When I saw how much food you get to eat on the Weight Watcher program, that's when I decided it was for me." After starvation diets and diet pills ("I had taken every kind of diet pill ever made.") she said she found the Weight Watchers program "amaz- ingly easy to follow." "When I finally got ready to lose weight," she said, "nothing was going to stop me. I was determined." And, she continued, ."Peo- ple encourage you every step of the way. My husband was encouraging and so were my children." As a matter of fact, she said, "Weight Watchers be- came a familiar byword at our house. Even now my son will say "Why do you have to keep going to Weight Watch- ers, Mommy? You're not fat anymore'." And her students help her to maintain her weight, she added. She has an average of 35 students in her fifth grade The Office of Dr. John V. Philpot Located in Port St. Joe Will Be CLOSED June 16 - July class, she said, and teaches social studies to others in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades. "The children at school are so careful of me," she smiled. "If I even eat a cup- cake (and that's legal now that she's reached her goal weight) they get all upset." Peggy Whitfield said she got fat "because I enjoyed eating everything." (except chalk, that is.) But she is keeping her weight down now because of determination. That is obvious to anyone who meets her and gets her talking about Weight Watch-' ing. "I will never again go into a room and know I'm the biggest one there," she says resolutely. But maybe another reason she is so resolved is that she is an inspiration and example to others who depend on her a guidance at the Tuesday night Weight Watchers class. And her success is measured, In the one year and eight months Mrs. Whitfield has lectured there, more than 300 Port St. Joe men and women, boys and girls have lost 3,031'2 pounds. You can learn to lose weight without losing your privacy. ST.

Florida sent 20 re- presentatives. About-60 state winners this month will go on to national competition next year where about 3,500 individuals will compete. "Many of these kids have never left home before," says Bill Crutchfield of Tallahas- see, Special Olympics direc-. tor. "They have never had the opportunity to -see a col- lege campus, eat in a cafe- teria-the things we take for granted." You should just see the reactions of these kids when you take them to a football stadium" says the one-time assistant football coach at Florida State University. "Believe me, their eyes will really goggle when they look up at the towering stadium at Sthe University of Florida's Florida Field." Crutchfield says athletics is one of the best ways for men- tally handicapped persons to develop themselves. "The retarded individual develops his coordination with an increase in physical activity and he also gains confidence in himself. "We want to give these people a chance to experience success and the program is designed so that everyone wins something," said Crutchfield who left the State Division of Mental Retarda- tion in April to become Direc- tor of Special Olympics. "In a lot of cases, this is the only thing they do. Many of them have worked all year to get ready for the competi- tion. The mentally retarded person has a limited oppor- Stunity to do things and this is just one way to get to the outside world." Crutchfield said many par- ents are apprehensive at first about letting their children participate in the competi- tion, but added, "Once they realize the child's capability, they become very enthusias- tic. "In the four years we've been running the Special Oly- mpics and with more than 12,000 participants, this year alone, there have been only three accidents during com- petition. One boy chipped his tooth when he fell on the track and two others got their thumbs stuck in bowling balls." Parents and volunteers will chaperone the athletic com- petitors during their stay' with one chaperone for every four athletes. Divided into boy and girl categories, the competition includes activity in track and field, swimming, bowling, gymnastics and wheelchair events. There will be eight age groups, beginning with eight and nine year olds and ending with all ages above 30. Each group will be divided according to ability. Crutchfield said Florida is one of the few states in which the state agency for the re- tarded and private orgamniza- The activities will be held tions work together to spon- the same weekend as the sor the Special Olympics. Special Olympics National AAU Track and Field Junior Championships where such athletic stars as 19-year old, Bill Jankunis, a seven foot, three and a half inch high jumper from Staten Island, N.Y. and 19-year. old Wimpy Alexander, a 1:49.8 half miler from Monticello will be competing. Jimmy Carnes, Florida Track coach and games dir- ector for the Special Olym- pics said he hopes partici- pants from both the Special Olympics and AAU will watch each other and see how they compare. He said this is a good opportunity for the mental handicapped ath- letes to see how good they really are. According to Crutchfield, some of the times are equally competitive with the Florida High School activities and many participants move right into high school compe- tition. Rules, however, forbid competition in both. Olympic participants and chaperones will be admitted free to the AAU meet. Sponsored nationally by the Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Foun- dation, the Florida Special Olympics program is spon- sored by the Florida Associa- tion for Retarded Citizens and the Division of Retarda- tion. Take A Chance TALLAHASSEE Motor- ists who become involved in accidents or have to stop on the paved portion of the roadway, in addition to other good Samaritans who- stop to assist, are sometimes struck and killed by other vehicles said the Florida Highway Patrol today. Patrol Director Colonel El- drige Beach said, "If you must stop on the roadway at night, do not stand in front of an onrushing car or truck with a small flashlight and expect them to stop. Waving the flashlight -is alright if you stand on the edge of the pave- ment and are prepared to run to the ditch should they not be able to stop." Patrol cars are sometimes struck at accident scenes even when they have their emergency blue lights flash- ing, so a small hand light would be difficult to see, es- pecially with other. vehicle e lights in the background. The Patrol recommends that all drivers carry emer- gency warning devices. The bright red burning fusee is one of the most visible warn- ing signals, both day and night. Colonel Beach concluded by saying, "If there is no way of moving your car to the side of the road, even by pushing, leave your emergency flash- ers on and get yourself and all passengers out of the dis- abled vehicle and clear of the roadway. This is especially true when there is a curve or a hill obstructing the view of the oncoming motorists."
