Long-Delayed E

Sidewalk Work

Is Performed

The City of Port St. Joe used some of its
summer hire young men this past week to ,.-
clean up some sidewalks in te City ,which ."
apparent hadn't seen much attention in -
quite some time.
The sidewalks on Highway 98 are the
responsibility of the Department of Trans- '
portation, but the DOT has been neglecting :'" r.
their work in this area of late. :
The photo to the right shows the state of
the walks before cleaning began. They were .
completely covered over with dirt and
grass. In the photo above, Michael Daniel,
Charles Nettles, Lee Griffin and Napoleon
Hill make them presentable once again.

The County Commission ac-
cepted the recommendations
of a committee appointed to
recommend a plan for am-
bulance service for the coun-
ty Tuesday night, which
would involve purchase of
two new ambulance vehicles
and creation of a volunteer
service for their operation.
Tom Coldewey, chairman
,, of the seven man committee
composed of William J. Rish,
.: Ed Bandjough, Wesley R,


Ramsey, Sheriff Raymond
Lawrence, Joe St. Clair and
. Richard Zyski, gave the re-
port of the Committee's rec-
ommendations.
Coldewey reported the
committee recommended the
county send out bids immed-
iately for two van type am-
bulance vehicles equipped to
new state specifications, with
one vehicle to be stationed in
Port St. Joe and one in
Wewahitchka.


Women Operating


Dozers? Could Be!

Shades of Gloria Steinheim and Germaine Greer!
The Women's Lib movement has struck with full force,
here in Gulf County, the small conservative county where
women work hard at being women and men let them.
Three pretty young ladies appeared before the County
Commission Tuesday night and put in their applications for
jobs with the County Road Department. When Commission
Chairman Silas C. Player asked them what kind of job they
had in mind with the Road Department, they replied, "Just
anything. We can do anything."
Commissioner Walter Graham thought he had the
ladies in a box when he asked, "Have any of you ever had
any experience driving' heavy equipment?" One of the
young ladies piped up and said, "I have been driving a
dump truck hauling dirt for a few months."
Graham, hard-headed as he is, lowered his head and
came right back with,. "'.'You have to have a chauffeurs
license to work for the County, you kiiow." "We can get
'em" was the immediate reply.
The young ladies weren't kidding. They filed their.
applications with the Board for employment with the Road
Department, stating they wanted a full time job doing-
anything a RoadDepartment employee was expected to do.
Chairman Player, acting as though he did it every day,
took the applications and gave the routine reply of, "We're
not hiring anyone right now, but when we have an opening,
your applications will certainly be considered."
So, hang loose, Gulf Countians. You may see a shapely
young lady grading your roads or even shoveling out a
ditch in the near future.

Play Program Draws Record Attendance


The City recreation pro-
gram entered its second week
of the six week program last
Monday with record atten-
dance on most sites as the
School Board sponsored pro-
;ram fired off at Port St. Joe
and Highland View schools.
In the city program the 8th
St. tennis courts hosted a


record total of 100 partici-
pants with 40 of these never
shaking hands with a racquet
before Monday. For three
days there were more balls
hit into the canal and across
the retaining fence than onto
the courts. But the beginners
are learning at a fast clip.
The tennis courts are at


present, reserved for beginn-
ing instruction from 8:30 a.m.
to 10 a.m. each day with
more experienced players re-
ceiving instruction from 10:00
a.m. to 12:00 noon and 2:00
p.m. to 5:00 p.m. The sche-
dule for night instructions for
adults will be announced next
week.


The 16th St. golf course has
70 young golfers registered
with approximately half of
these -beginners. New poles,
flags and cups were installed
this week and the course,
after much work, is in fair
condition. The instructors
and taxpayers ask for the
cooperation of parents -and


pupils in caring for the faci-
lities, as both have been
vandalized in the past. The
facilities are for instruction
.and play of all local persons.
The golf course will be
opened from 1:00 to 4:00 D.m..

Decision Favors School Board


U. S. District Judge David
Middlebrooks has ruled in
favor of the Gulf County
School Board in a case which
has been pending since April
14 of last year.
In the action, which charg-
ed the Board with racial
discrimination, eight students
charged with disturbances at
the school claimed they were
dealt with unfairly.
The eight students claimed
punishment was meted out to
blacks but whites went un-
punished.
The students, in question
.*had been dismissed from
school as the result of a day


of violence at the school on
April 5, 1973. The students
claimed they had been dis-
missed without benefit of a
disciplinary hearing in viola-
tion of their constitutional
rights.
On May 4 of last year, the
cuuiLs granted the plaintiffs a
preliminary injunction re-
quiring the students to be
reinstated and remedial in-
struction provided for time
missed in the class room.
The School Board then held
an administrative hearing be-
fore the School board on May
7, 1973, at which time two
days of testimony was taken.


In issuing his order to
dismiss the complaint, Judge
Middlebrooks based his opin-
ion on the fact the persons
involved in' the disturbance
had been given the choice of
corporal punishment or dis-
missal. His findings showed
most white students chose the
corporal punishment while
the black students elected
dismissal. He also noted that
law enforcement officials ar-
rested some but not all of the
students involved, based on
the testimony of adult em-
ployees of the school.
There were no students
arrested or charged who took


part in the altercation. Char-
ges were made only against
those who instigated the af-
fair.
The judge stated there
were two matters for deter-
mination by the court: whe-
ther or not the lack of a
disciplinary hearing violated
due process and whether or
not defendants exercised ra-
cially discriminatory disci-
plinary procedures.
The judge ruled that the
evidence showed the majority
of black students chose sus-
pension rather than corporal
punishment and that the
School Board had dealt in a


like manner to the white
students in matters of disci-
pline.
The judge felt that had the
defendants investigated fur-
ther, they could have discov-
ered that more white stu-
dents were involved but that
this was not a systematic
practice of racial discrimi-
nation. Middlebrooks said, in
examining the procedures,
"This court finds as a matter
of law that no racially dis-
criminatory practice or pro-
cedure existed in the disci-
plinary actions taken by the
defendants."


the crimes was a 16-year-old
juvenile, who was appre-
hended about 6 a.m. yes-
terday morning on Highway
98 by Deputy Mike White.
White stopped the car on 98
after it failed to dim its
lights. Noticing the boy was
very nervous, he let the youth
head for home and followed
him back to Port St. Joe.

The Deputy noticed the boy
was having trouble with the
standard transmission drive
and routinely checked the tag
registration while enroute
back to town. The 'car was
registered to Nathaniel Rob-
erson, 268 Avenue B. Know-
ing the owner was a black
male, White again 'stopped
the car and asked the boy


where he had bought the car.
The youth replied he had
purchased,it "from a guy on
Mexico Beach for $300".
Since the car was only a
year old, White then took the
youth to the Sheriff's office
for questioning where it was
revealed the St. Joe Motor
Company had been broken
into. The car, locked in the
repair department, was ap-
parently taken.'
The Sheriff's office said the
juvenile has had five prior
arrests for the same offense
and has served three differ-
ent terms in the Okeechobee
School for Boys in South
Florida.
He has been turned over to
the Division of Youth Ser-
vices authorities.


Lowering of Lakes


To Begin On July 5


A short ceremony which
will be attended by govern-
ment, Game Department and
-FHA officials in Wewahitch-
ka Friday, July 5, will mark
the opening of the recently
constructed water level con-
trol gates at the Dead Lakes.
The gates, constructed by
the Dead Lakes Water Man-
agement Commission, will
lower the water in the lakes,
allowing sunshine to kill nox-
ious weeds which have threa-
tened the fishing paradise.
The group will meet at the
Wewahitchka High School in
Wewahitchka at 7:30 CST for
breakfast and then proceed to
the dam for a final inspection
of the project and opening the
gates.


According to George Y.
Core, who is in charge of the
ceremony, those in attend-
ance will include Representa-
tive William J. Rish, Senator
Dempsey Barron, Harmon
Shields, Department of Nat-
ural Resources Director,
Robert C. Lazor, state botan-
ist, Earl Frye and Joe Blan-
chard of the Game and Fresh
Water Fish Commission,
members of the Gulf and
Calhoun County Commissions
and FHA officials.
Plans are to lower the
Dead Lakes level by four to
five feet and leave ,the water
level low as long as possible.
The Game and Fresh Water
Fish Commission will be in
charge of opening and closing
the gates of the by-pass.


Coldewey's report went on
to say the committee was
recommending a volunteer
type service working on
much the same order as the
fire departments in the coun-
ty. It was the thinking of the
committee to furnish training
for the volunteers after they
are recruited.
The committee chairman
reported that a committee
out of his group will go
inspect other volunteer am-
bulance operations in the
state before coming up with a
final recommendation as to
how the volunteer service
should be handled. The com-
mittee to inspect the other
services, is Commission
Chairman S. C. Player, Sher-
iff Raymond Lawrence, Ed
Bandjough and Wesley R.
Ramsey.
Coldewey said the commit-
tee still has to develop plans
as to where to house the
vehicles and to recommend
just what service will be
offered. He said it was the
thinking of the committee at
this time to offer only emer-
gency service with transport
of patients from one hospital
to another to be done by
other services in the area and
state.
Commissioner Eldridge
Money made the motion to
advertise for the vehicles
after the Board decided they
could borrow the money from
their capital outlay fund for.
one of the vehicles. The coun-
ty has received a grant from
the state which should pay
for one car.
W. P. Comforter, who is
presently operating the ser-
vice in the county on a
special state permit until the
county can get into its opera-
tion wanted to know when the
county could get started as
he wanted to get out.
Comforter said he was ap-
prehensive about his position
since he said he keeps getting
requests from Jacksonville
for certain reports he can't fill
out and has been assured
there was no need for him to
file. "You've told me I have a
temporary permit," Comfor.
ter said, "but T have nothing
in writing saying its OK by
the state for me to operate.
Since my son and I are the
'crew' of the Comforter am-
bulance service, we are anx-
ious to get out of the busi-
ness."
The Board asked Comforter
to continue operation for at
least another 30 days, but
Comforter was reluctant. At-
torney Rish said he had been
assured by the state's rep-
resentative for ambulance
service affairs that Comfor-
ter would receive a tempor-
ary permit and there would
be no need for him to file the
voluminous reports he is re-
ceiving.
Comforter said if he can
receive something in writing
to this effect he will continue
to serve for the requested 30
days. Rish said he would see
Comforter's wishes were
granted.
HEARING
The Board was notified by
the Department of Natural
Resources that a public hear-
ing would be held in the
Commission meeting room on
July 15 from 7 to 9 p.m., in
regards to the DNR purchas-
ing property adjacent to. the
Apalachicola River from the
Brothers River south. The
property would be maintain-
ed for public use in its
natural state.

What Is the DOT


Doing?


If the Department of Transpor-
tation is performing its mainten-
ance tasks in every county as they
are in -Gulf County, we wonder
what they are doing with their
time.
This past week, the City of Port
St. Joe put its men to work
cleaning off the sidewalks along
highway 98--a task which is the
normal activity of the DOT main-
tenance crews. It had been some
time since the DOT had performed
this task, too. In many places the
sidewalks were completely invisi-
ble due to the fact they were
completely covered over with grass
and dirt.
Having to go to extreme action
to get the bridge repaired at
Highland View also seems to be
unnecessary in our opinion. This
should have been done without the
citizens having to get up petitions,
contact Tallahassee, make threats
and get our Legislators to intervene
in our behalf.
The people of this state pay a


pretty hefty tax bill each year to
furnish the necessities, which in-
cludes proper road maintenance
and certainly bridge maintenance.
Then, too, the DOT is attempt-
ing to give the County ownership of
several roads in Gulf County and
every county in the state, which
have been owned and maintained
by the DOT ever since they were
built. This would further remove
responsibility of the DOT for main-
tenance.
It seems to us, if the DOT is to
continue to, give less and less
maintenance, they should disband,
give the gasoline tax to each county
and ,let them be responsible for the
roads in their boundaries. This, of
course, wouldn't work, since it
would result in a hodge-podge, road
system which wouldn't be accept-
able to the traveling public.
SMaybe we're .expecting :oo'
"much of the DOT. But if expecting
the service to be rendered we are
paying for is too much, then we are.
expecting too much.


Summer Time


In the good old summer time .
in the good old summer time. .
That's the way the song goes, but
the tune these days seems to be to
answer that phrase with the lyrics,
"while basking under the air con-
ditioner, remember the electric
bill".
The first of the electric bills
containing air conditioning charges
and that promised sizeable fuel
allowance charge has hit Port St.
Joe this past week and the weather
isn't the only thing that's hot as a
result.
We don't wish the power com-
pany to furnish us power at a price
less than it cost them to produce
and deliver it. We also understand
they arc powerless to do anything
about the high power bills. Still, the
bills are not the most welcome
sight a body would expect to see.
With the Venezuelans hiking
their oil bills every day and threat-
'ening stronger every day to take
over the American-developed


Other Editors Say:



Country


What this country needs is
not necessarily a good five
cents cigar, but more pen-
nies,, coppers-placed back
into circulation to help re-
lieve the Great Penny Short-
age-now about to engulf us.
The penny, not worth much
in this day of galloping infla-
tion, is still being sought by
the financial houses of the
country to aid in the ex-
change of coins down to the
smallest increment.
But, suddenly there is a
shortage of these tan-colored
clinkers, and the increase in
the world-wide price of cop-
per has not done much to


fields, it seems we can expect only
more of the same unless Florida
Power Corporation, who supplies
our power, elects to look for an oil
source elsewhere. Then, who's to
say the oil bill and the resulting oil
allowance wouldn't go even higher?
We predicted here on this page
lack in March that the people of
Port St. Joe would get the promised
higher bills; gripe about them, and
continue to run those electricity-
gobbling air conditioners to cool
down their consternation .at having
to pay higher electric bills.
The higher bills are here. The
griping has begun in earnest. Now
let's see if the third part of our
predictions will come true. Will you
turn off that air conditioner to save
on the monthly bill or will you go
right on cooling it and griping?
We're gonna go on griping,
since we would gripe even more if
the air conditioner couldn't or
wouldn't be turned on.

School Offers Well


Rounded Curriculum


Mrs. Laura Geddie, Direc-
tor of Instruction for Gulf
County Schools, told the Port
St. Joe Rotary Club last
Thursday that Port St. Joe
High School offers a well
rounded curriculum for its
students, but that some of the
subjects were never taught
because students didn't sign
up for them.
Mrs. Geddie said the school
officials had elected to follow
,the state.requirements of 15
credits for graduation to al-
low students more classroom
opportunities to take some of
the courses they would like to
take but now can't find time
for with the number of re-
quired subjects of the school
system.,
The speaker said students
in grades 10 through 12 now
have the classroom time to
take six and a half elective
credits in grades 10 through
12. "We used to require 20
credits in grades 9 through
12", Mrs. Geddie said.
The Director went on to say
the school offered 21 subjects
in language arts and had
class time set up for 19
periods of English each day.
The school offers eight dif-
ferent science courses on a
high school level and a full
choice of mathematics. She
pointed out that while calcu-
lus wasn't offered in, the
regular school curriculum, it
was offered as a summer
school course free of charge
if at least 15 students want
the course.
"We are getting more and
more into vocational sub-
jects," the speaker "said,
"and we must also make
time available for those stu-
dents' who wish to take ad-
vantage of these subjects."
In addition to the academic
and vocational courses, the
school offers instruction in
business education, band,
arts, home economics anQ
physical education. In voca-
tional education, the school
offers DCT (on the job train-
ing), auto mechanics, radio-


TV, building trades, paint
and body work and welding.
"The market place offers
greater opportunities for
craftsmen than it does for
physicists," Mrs. Geddie
said, "and we' must offer
training for those who elect
to follow the crafts.
"We also see that the stu-
dent who wishes to and is
capable of attending college
gets the proper training", she

"The student needs oppor-
tunity, guidance and parental
encouragement", the speaker
said. "There is no excuse in
Gulf County for a student
coming to the llth and 12th
grades unprepared."

. The matter of curricuJuni at Port St. Joe
J6 High School has taken on a point of interest
among many people here in Port St. Joe. Some
parents say they are disturbed over the
apparent erosion of the standards in the matter
of the curriculum offered by the school and the
student's apparent lack of preparation for
i, college after he graduates.
The school administration and teachers, on
the other hand say the curriculum is available
but- the students don't elect to take the harder
subjects in sufficient numbers to offer them. I
believe 15 pupils to take any one subject is the
magic number for offering.
Mrs. Laura Geddie was the latest school
official to defend the curriculum offered at the
school in an address to the Rotary Club last
Thursday. She said the school offers everything
I from Business Math to Calculus in mathema-
tics and everything from remedial reading to
college preparatory English in language arts, ,
along with many science and chemistry cours-
as es, "The students must elect to take them,
to however," Mrs. Geddie said.
an in all likelihood, any lack of standards in
the curriculum can be blamed on both the
LA school and the parents, with each sharing an
he
gh equal blame. We're not trying to point a finger
nd here, but we are trying to bring the problem
ay, into the open so both parents and teachers can
of pool their interests and efforts in seeing that
m- the students take full advantage of the best
ion they can handle scholastically.
ito
ia. One of the big flaps talked over on the
of
er- street is the removal of one required subject
from the graduation requirements. The parents
au feel this is encouraging the students to get by
rt- as easily as possible. The teachers on the other
dy
er- hand say the relaxing of the number of
nd required subjects was necessary to allow
ler students wishing to take advantage of the
;of advanced courses time in the school day in
07- which to do so. Each has an argument, and we
ire feel, each is concerned with the ultimate
welfare of the student.

for There's no getting around the fact that if
d. college preparatory English, for'instance, were
a placed, qn tbhe required. list of .subjects, the
average student could not pass; it or would
at. have a hard time meeting the grade require-
de ments. The same goes for advanced mathema-4.

Needs More Pennies


alleviate the embarrassing
situation.
Banks are being limited to
a specific number of the
"Lincolns" they receive each
month and this has caused a
small calamity in the count-
ing houses around the coun-
try.
Because of the communist
scare tactics in the days of
good ole Senator McCarthy,
the phrase "not worth a red
cent" was changed to "not
worth a cent," but this fam-
ous assault on the value of
the now-precious penny may
have to be changed again to
something like "not


worth a continental" but,
on second thought I believe
that sassy slogan has been
down the pike before-way
back there in the pages of
American history with the
Cross of Gold speech, J. P.
Morgan and William Jen-
nings Bryan. .i
But the Federal. Rd?"
serve System is blaming the'
"bright penny" shortage on
price of copper climbing in
world markets and the hoard-
ing of copper coins by "spec-
ulators" who are under the
mistaken belief that they will
somehow be allowed to vio-
late the law and melt down


the coins for their coppery
content.
The U. S. Mint is increas-
ing the penny output from the
approximately 62 billion pen-
-nies produced in the last 15
ypars.
At present the mint makes
145 million "coppers" a day-
almost twice as many as last
years, so there should be suf-
ficient supply of pennies to
meet normal demands, but
the public continues to hold
the coins, in their "hot little
hands", somehow believing
that this action will soon
.make them rich.
Banks are asking hoarders


to bring in the coins and re-
store them to circulation to
help relieve the shortage. In
Pensacola recently a depart-
ment store offered $1.15 in
exchange for every dollars'
worth of pennies brought in-
this resulted in restoring
many of the "worthless
cents" back into circulation.
Unless the public cooper-
ates with the mint, then the
government will be forced to
spend more of your tax
money to buy copper at high-
er prices to make still more
coins.
Copper is a valuable min-
eral and should not be


wasted. One billion pennies
returned to circulation would
save the taxpayers $10 mil-
lion dollars.
Many years ago there was
,,.a song that went-"A Penny
A Kiss" "A Penny A
Hug" ... "I'm putting all my
pennies in a Little Brown
Jug." Please get your pen-
nies out of your jugs-Amer-
icans Your Country
Needs Them.

As we see it, the school is making the
curriculum flexible so the student may get in
as much advanced training or other needed
subjects as he possibly can.
Likewise, the relaxed standards allow the
average student to work in a few more "crip"
subjects and, consequently, lower the stan-
dards bf his high school experience.
We have no quarrel with the reduction in
the number of required subjects in the high
school years if diligent guidance is directed to
every student to prevent his "floating" through
the last three school years in the lives of many
students. There are enough people in this
nation now who cannot put together an
intelligent sentence or even make proper
change simply because they don't know the
rudiments of the English language or enough
math to add and- subtract properly.
If the curriculum requirements are allowed
to stand as they are now, they will work to the
advantage of the student, regardless of his
goals in education, if the parent takes a
stronger hand in guiding the subject choice of
his or her children. Of course, they should have
been doing this all along.
Too, we think the teacher should take a
stronger part in helping the student choose
what he can handle rather than let him get by
with the easy courses merely to get his high
school diploma in the easiest way possible. We
feel the teacher knows more than anyone else
what the student is capable of handling.

If the school relaxes its requirements to
pass any given subject, we can properly object.
If the school fails to offer the subjects needed
to properly prepare our children for the future.
we can, again, object. If the student fails to
take advantage of what is offered, we have
only ourselves to blame and have no room to
object.

Florida Gardening


Many Grasses


Do Very Well


In Florida


By: Shannon Smith
Home Grounds Specialist
University of Florida
This will be the first of
several articles covering all
the lawngrasses in Florida.
Watch for the week your
particular lawngrass is cov-
ered.
Bahiagrasses have become
increasingly more popular
for Florida lawns for several
reasons. They can be planted
from seed or sod, have good
drought tolerance, good
shade tolerance, and have
fewer pest problems than
other Florida lawngrasses.
However, don't forget their


limitations. Bahias produce a
relatively open turf, are
coarse textured, very suscep-
tible to yellowing chlorosiss),
very tough to mow, and pro-
duce unsightly seedbeads
from May to November. They
are not well adapted to salt-
spray areas or deep shade,
and are seriously damaged
by mole crickets.
Bahiagrasses have been in
Florida since 1914. The first,'
bahias were used for pas-
tures but through selection
and breeding, newer lawn
types have been developed.
Three varieties of bahiagrass
seed or sod are on the market
in quantity for home lawns.


These are 'Argentine', 'Pen-
sacola', and 'Paraguayan'
bahia. The best variety for
lawn use is 'Argentine'. This
variety forms the best sod, is
the least susceptible to dis-
ease, is least damaged by
frost, and has the most de-
sireable green color. Yellow-
ing is less of a problem with
'Argentine' than with other
varieties.
Bahiagrasses can be estab-
lished by seed or sod. Sod-
ding provides that 'instant
lawn' but is initially more
expensive. For best results
demand good quality weed--
free sod. Seeding is less
expensive but slower than
establishment from sod.
Seeding can be done anytime
between April and October,
however, establishment will
be slower in later plantings
due to cooler weather. Buy
scarified, fungicide treated
seed and apply at the rate of
5-10 pounds per thousand
square feet. Apply half the
seed in one direction and the
remainder at right angles to
the first. Cover the seed with
%-' inch of soil or rake into


the soil to a similar depth.
Seed or sod must be watered
frequently until well estab-
lished. Seeded areas should
be watered 2-3 times a day
until seedlings are well estab-
lished. Failure to cover seed
and letting the seeded area
dry out are the two most
common reasons why people
fail to establish bahia from
seed.
Once the lawn is estab-
lished, a good maintenance
program is needed. This in-
cludes proper mowing, water-
ing, fertilizing and pest con-
trol.
Mow bahias at approxi-
mately 3 inches every 7-10
days for best appearance.
Seedbeads may require more
frequent mowing. A sharp
rotary mower with grass
catcher is best.
Irrigation on an 'as needed'
basis is an excellent way to
water any grass but don't
delay if wilted spots appear.'
Water to apply 'z-I inch of
water. (620 gallons per 1000
sq. ft.). Don't lightly sprinkle


the lawn. This encourages
shallow root systems.
Fertilization is necessary
for best growth and color of
bahiagrasses. A minimum
program would be a complete
fertilizer applied in spring
and Fall. A maximum would
be the above plus supple-
mental nitrogen applications
each month between com-
plete fertilizations excluding
the winter months.
Diseases and insects are
only minor problems on ba-
hiagrasses. Dollarspot is the
principle disease affecting
bahiagrasses. This disease
will seldom be seen on well
fertilized bahia. The most
serious insect problem of
bahiagrasses is mole crick-
ets. These pests can be tem-
porarily controlled with spe-
cial mole-cricket baits. For
specific pest control recom-
mendations contact your
County Cooperative Exten-
sion office.

23 million Americans have high
blood pressure.
Half of them don't know it. You
can feel healthy, be active and
still have it, because it has no
special symptoms.
Untreated, it can lead to stroke
or heart attack. It's easily de-
tected, and can usually be con-
trolled.
Don't take chances. Have your
blood pressure checked, and
follow your doctor's orders.

new pupils.
At Highland View Elemen-
tary, Wayne Stevens reported

Mr. Scott expressed his ap-
preciation to the City and

ing one of the best summer
recreation programs in the

other city in Florida where
children can learn to play
golf and tennis at no cost to
their parents for instruction,
and the program even fur-
nishes the equipment for
teaching these skills.

named as tennis instructor
for the City. Billy Barlow will

nator at present, and all
programs will continue on the
present schedule.

Aerial Spraying for


Dogflies on Beaches


The State Division of
Health in cooperation with
the county Mosquito Control
Districts have initiated an
aerial spraying program for
control of dog flies on Gulf
beaches and shores in the
West Florida area. Airplanes
being used in this program
will be flown parallel to and a
short distance behind the
beaches.
All aircraft are properly


licensed and operated in com-
pliance with rules and regula-
tions of the Federal Aviation
Administration. There is no
danger to persons or property
by the spray being applied.
Dog flies become concen-
trated on beaches in this area
only when north winds bring
them from breeding sites in
agricultural areas to the
north and from piles of sea-
weeds along bayshores. The


flies are known to fly at least
70 miles. They leave the
beaches promptly when the
wind blows from the Gulf;
therefore, to be effective the
spray must be applied quick-
ly while the flies are concen-
trated on the beaches.
This is a safe program
which offers effective control
of this important pest for the
first time in the West Florida
area.


Children

Receive

Checks

About four million children
receive social security checks
every month according to
David P. Robinson, Social
Security Field Representa-
tive for Gulf Countyv.
These children are eligible
for payments because a par-
ent--either mother or father
with work under social se-
curity has retired, become
disabled, or died, Robinson
said.
The largest number--over
2.7 million receive payments
because a parent has died.
Nearly 1 million collect bene-
fits as dependents of a dis-
abled parent. And, over 1/2
million'get checks as children
of retired workers, the repre-
sentative said.
"Eligible children can get
benefits until they're 18. And,
if they continue in school
full-time and are single, they
can get monthly checks until
they're 22," Robinson said.
Today, there are over one-
half million "student" bene-
ficiaries between 18 and 22.


Office

Plans to

Close

The Port St. Joe Food
Stamp Office has an-
nounced that house-
holds which include re-
cipients of Supplemen-
tal Security Income

month of July 1974.
It will not be neces-
sary for the SSI reci-
pients to be recertified,
as their period of certi-
fication will be extend-
ed through July 1974.
The Food Stamp Of-
fice will be closed July
4, but will be open July
5 to issue stamps.

WILDLIFE

COMMENTS ON THE OUTDOORS '..

Dr O E. Frye, Jr.

/ GAME AND FRESH WATER FISH COMMISSION
y-, s-


TALLAHASSEE-June for
lots of folks is a time for
berry picking, trips into the
outdoors for various fun pur-
poses, or nostalgic recollec-
tions of Nelson Eddy singing
to Jeanette McDonald.
To many Wildlife Officers,
June can be a big pain. It's
painful to have to pick up
baby wildlife that well mean-
ing but misguided people
have taken in to raise. Baby
wildlife, which begin appear-
ing in early spring and will
turn up until autumn, is al-
most always appealing. Be-
sides the winsome quality of
all young animals, possessing
a wild creature like a raccoon,
skunk or even a deer or fox
pup, has special appeal. It's
sort of one-upmanship.
It takes varying lengths of
time for people to find out
that we don't keep raccoons
as common housepets be-
cause they either don't have
traits like dogs and cats, or
else have additional traits that
we find annoying. At any
rate, over the centuries, we
have established some animals
as desirable pets and others as
not so desirable. Dogs and
cats get along pretty well
with humans, but other
animals do not. Wild animals
belong in the wild.
They belong there for
more reasons than their
annoying us humans. A fox
glimpsed in an oak hammock
is a thing of swift and furtive
beauty. The same fox tied to
a clothesline in someone's
back yard is a travesty on
nature. The very thing that
makes wild creatures appeal-
ing is their wildness which we
destroy when we try to make
domestic pets of them. It is
degrading to a wild animal to
try to tame it.


An old colleague used to
take what he called "a tragic
view of history of the human
race." He meant that the
human lot is almost always
tragic. If this is true, it is
doubly true for wild animals.
Their lives are usually short
and their ends violent. But
there is a splendid nobility in
that tragic way of life and
death. To bring a wild
creature indoors, expose it to
diseases and malnutrition it
might not otherwise face,
does it no good. Ultimately,
the fate of any animal that
crosses man's path is par-
ticularly tragic.
Wildlife Officers pick up
kidnapped wildlife by the
hundreds and then the pain
begins. Officers love wild
creatures, which is why they
are in their jobs. But a deer,
or raccoon or skunk that has
been captured as a baby and
half-reared in captivity loses
many of the things that might
have meant survival in the
wild, and possibly gained
some attributes which makes
its continued existence
dangerous such as a lack of
fear of mankind.
The Officer can do one of
two things: find a zoo that
needs such an animal, or
destroy it. Neither are very
attractive choices, which is
painful to both officer and
animal. It is painful to con-
fiscate illegal wildlife babies,
and painful to' have to
destroy so many of them.
June can be tragic all-round:
to the person who unwisely
tried to make a pet of a wild
animal, to the Wildlife Officer
whose job requires that he
take such babies away, and to
the babies themselves who
have been denied their right
to a wild, free existence.
Wildlife belongs in the wild.

FPC Asks for


Cut In Price


Representatives of Florida
Power Corporation and Ex-
xon Corporation met in St.
Petersburg Monday morning
to discuss the oil company's
recent 39 cent a barrel price
increase for residual fuel oil.
Information supporting and
opposing the increase was
.discussed and reviewed. The
two parties were unable to
reach any agreement.
No further meetings are
scheduled at this time. Flor-
ida Power officers said that
the matter of the price rise
will be appealed to federal
officials, although they ex-
pect further contacts with
Exxon.
Florida Power president,
Andrew H. Hines, Jr., said
that the recent series of
increases in the price of oil
have had a highly detrimen-
tal effect both on the finan-
cial structure of the company
he heads and on the lives of
the customers served by the
electric utility. He had asked
that the price hike be res-
cinded by Exxon. The price
rise boosted Florida Power's
residual oil cost to $9.80 a
barrel. The price was $2.53 in
January, 1973. The new in-
crease went into effect May
25.


time of highly profitable oil
company operations.
Florida Power said that it
would send representatives to
Washington in the very near
future to meet with the Fede-
ral Energy Administration to
determine if the price in-
crease meets with national
guidelines. Contacts are also
being made with the Florida
Congressional Delegation.
