County Orders Two Vehicles The Gulf County Commis- sion met in special session *Friday morning to receive bids on the. purchase of two ambulance vehicles. The cars are being pur- chased to put the county in compliance with the state's new requirements for am- bulance service. Successful bidder for the vehicles was Miller Meteor Company of Orlando with a bid of $12,995.00 per vehicle. The County purchased two. .Miller had entered a lower bid of $12,885.00 for Chevrolet van-type cars, but the County decided on the two purchas- ed which were Dodge vans because they offered consid- erably more space in the patient area and because they could be delivered a month earlier than the Chev- rolets.. . One of the ambulances will be ,paid for out of state matching money furnished the County.

Sunland Park Receiving Its First Group of Campers On Monday After six -long years of planning, the Division of Re- tardation will open their park on St. Joseph's Peninsula Monday and receive their first group of campers. The facility was built es- pecially to provide beach camping and vacation facili- ties for patients of Florida's several Sunland Centers. According to Bob Mathews, who came to Port St. Joe Monday for a final inspection of the first building, which has been completed, said 12 Sunland patients from Mar- ianna will arrive at the camp Monday for a week's stay at the beach. At present, one building is completed and work is rapid- ly nearing completion on a second at the site. According to the contratcor, Wallace Hill of Apalachicola, the sec- ond building will be finished Station WJOE . Under New AS" Management Local radio station, WJOE, is now under new manage- ment, effective July 1. Ted Brannen is the new manager and co-owner of WJOE. He is the son of D. T. Brannen, owner of Channel 13,. WDTB-TV, in Panama City. Brannen comes to the local station from KCIL-FM Radio Station, located in Houma, La., where he has been the manager the last five years. He has been in the broadcast- ing field for the past 13 years. Ted was reared in and around Panama City and will soon relocate in Port St. Joe. Contractor Wallace Hill, Rep. William J.. Rish and Bob Mathews discuss what needs to be done. in preparation to opening of the Division of Retardation's new park on St. Joseph Peninsula Monday. They are show boardwalk which allows entrance to the cabins. Plan Presented for County Play Direc After'last %Xee-k's decision by the City Commission to put money in the new budget to hire a recreation director, a different method of ap- proaching the program has been introduced by the Gulf County. School Board accord- ing to a report made to the City Commission Tuesday night Pa'te" reported"d the School Board has access to $6,000 in state funds on a matching basis for this pur- pose and is proposing a joint School Board, City, County program for providing super- vised recreation for all ages all over the county. The plan would call for $6,06 contributions from the School board, the County and the City of Port St. Joe and a $2,000 contribution from We- wahitchka for financing. Un- der the plan, a budget of $26,000 a year would provide the necessary personnel and equipment for the .program. The City Commission gave its appro al of -the proposal- and pledged $6,000 as its part of the budget. If one of the other parties to be involved does not elect to do so, the Commission will probably go into the venture alone for the citizens of Port St. Joe. Commissioner James B. Roberts was named as the City's advisory the county recre which is being operate the recr MEET WITH E The Commissio up a meeting foi Tuesday of ne: discuss needed s (Continued on in about 45 days. The buildings are con- structed among the dunes at the park site without disturb- ing the site. They are made to accommodate patients in wheel chairs or ambulatory. Every facility is readily available to handicapped patients. According to Representa- tive William J. Rish, $78,000 has been spent thus far on the site, with nearly a half million dollars earmarked for further construction during the next year. At present, slanted walk- i ways give patients entrance to the dormitory-like cabins, which have room for 14 campers and two attendants. The cabins are completely self-contained with all facili- ties, including air condition- K ing. Plans for the coming year include one more cabin and a bath house, olympic swim- ming pool and two camp grounds across the road from the present development. An .underpass will be constructed under the road to allow ac- ** cess to both facilities without the danger of walking across n on the the road. Mathews said that after the Star photo next construction is complet- ed, the park will have most of the facilities originally plan- ned.

State Representatives Explain Purpose for Purchase of Big River Flood Plain Everyone in the packed Commission meeting room of the Gulf County Courthouse seemed agreeable to the State Department of Natural Resources purchasing the flood plain of the Apalachicola River to maintain in its natural state until the word "sanctuary" slipped out of the mouth of one of the state representatives, then the attitude changed. The plan, to purchase some 30,000 acres of swamp land on each side of the Apalachicola from the bay to Owl Creek, would preserve. what was described as a flood plain nurturing Apalachicola Bay to the Monday night audience who came to hear what the state's plans were. Representing the state were David Roddenberry of the DNR; Bill Jernigan, State Parks representative and Charlie Smith, Bureau of Land Development. Jernigan and Roddenberry did most of the talking and question answering concerning the planned purchase. Roddenberry said the state plans to buy the described acreage initially, then later, purchase all the way to Wewahitchka. DNR director, Harmon Shields has expressed a desire to purchase the river flood plain all the way to Blountstown. Roddenberry said the purpose of the purchase was to preserve the quality of the river and Apalachicola Bay. He pointed out that experts have examined the flood plain and find it to be the source of nourishment needed by Apalachicola Bay in order to maintain its high productivity of seafood, principally oysters. The DNR representative said studies show the hardwoods in the area shed leaves and other matter for decay and the spring floods cover the land, picking up the nutrients from decaying matter and carry it downstream to the bay where it is utilized to nourish animal life. The speaker said, "To the extent the river flood plain is diminished, so will the bay diminish." "SANCTUARY" CAUSES DITHER The word "sanctuary" got into the picture when Jernigan was questioned about the status of the sportsman in the area if and when the purchase was made. Jernigan replied that it would probably be a game management area or sanctuary. "I don't really know", he said, "since this decision will be made after the land is purchased." Major Tom Garrison of the Game Department was present and told Jernigan that since his department helps make the decision, it will be their position that hunting should continue as in the past in keeping with good game practices. Representative William J. Rish said he had supported the proposed purchase but would be against it if the area was closed to hunting and fishing. Rish said, "I'm sure your use of the word 'sanctuary' was an unfortunate choice of words and you wish you could have it back. But, if you use it one more time, I'll be opposed to the plan". Rish called on the state people to furnish some sort of public notice of intended public use before the deal is closed so the public can be informed. The state men said they felt they could do that, though these decisions were scheduled to be made after the purchase. Roddenberry said he felt the area could be used for hunting, fishing and primitive camping. "This should be part of our objective, even though our primary and main concern is merely for protecting the balance of nature in the bay." PLAN MEETS APPROVAL Reasonably assured of Use of the land by sportsmen, several resolutions, statements and letters were presented in favor of the purchase, primarily from Apalachicola. Dorothy Rallstead presented a resolution from the Apala- chicola City Commission; Cecil Varnes brought a letter from the Franklin County Commission and the Apalachi- cola Chamber of Commerce and S. C. Player reminded the representatives that Gulf County had previously filed a resolution with the various departments represented. It was projected that the land could be purchased for $.200 to $350 ner acre. "It will be a negotiated price between Rep. William J. Rish shows a display of plans for the Apalachicola River basin to Sportsmen's Club President the state and a willing seller" Charlie Smith said. Land- owners involved in the original purchase include the Porter family, MK Ranches, International Paper Company, Elberta Crate, John Teague, Ben Watkins, Buckeye Cellulose and St. Joe Paper Company. Before the project is finally approved it must meet one more examination by a state committee before being presented to the State Cabinet. The purchase is being made from a $200 million state bond issue to provide funds to purchase endangered lands from willing sellers. No condemnation proceedings will be used to get such lands. At present 280 parcels of land are under consideration for purchase. Of these, 37 tracts have been approved by the screening committee. This commit- tee is the next group to study the Apalachicola River purchase nlan Everett McFarland and Franklin County Commissioner Cecil Varnes. Star photo 15 Cents Per Copy --- L----- --- -.

Money Has the Right Idea County Commissioner Eldridge Money is probably correct in his evaluation of the possibilities which may arise from his stand toward the County's policy toward paving roads. Money believes developers of subdivisions should be required to clear and grade their own roads and allow the county to pave or improve them in the future under the natural order of road im- provements. Money believes this stand will defeat him two years from now when he must stand for re-election. Mr. Money may be right in his assessment of the situation. We certainly believe he is right in his stand. There is no precedent we can think of for the County to improve private property toenhance.its sale - value. They are strictly forbidden to haul in dirt, put down drain pipe, clear land or in any other way develop private property, so why should it be the proper thing to do for them to construct roads in order for a developer to sell his property and make a profit? The road program works this way though: the road will have homes built along side it and thus becomes a public responsibility. For this reason, the County has been clear- ing and building roads from scratch in the past, "because it is aiding taxable property to go on the tax rolls. It's evident when a property owner files a plat or subdivision "giving" the county roads, they expect them to be built at county expense. It's true, too that when the county wishes to build a road, the right of way is usually given; especially if it crosses St. Joe Paper Company property. The pro- perty given the county for a road has value and the county receives valuable acreage when any road is dedicated. But, without a road built the property in most instances would be considerably lower in value. The cost of road construction is higher, in most instances, than the gift of the land. Since we have tax paying citi- zens in the county who make their living and pay their taxes by doing work a-kin to road building, isn't the practice of building roads to develop subdivisions also cutting down, on the tax paying abilities of those whole make their, living, build- ing roads? ' Back in the mid-40's the County Commission went on record as requiring a new road filed in the Clerk's office to be, cleared and brought up to grade in a manner required for future paving before it was accepted. We don't know if this practice was ever legally changed. If it was, it would be the prudent and economical thing to do to revert to this procedure on the part of the County Commniission. It should be the Road Depart- ment's duties to maintain roads, build any arterial roads and take care ofi payng needs as they can be financed and leave the develop- ment of subdivisions up to the developers. Plain "Billy Joe" It would seem from this corner that our Representative, William J. Rish, will go back for another two year term in the Legislature unop- posed. Certainly, if someone were planning to run against him they should have been laying some ground work long before now. Serving a multi-county district as Bill does won't allow someone to make up their mind at the last minute and expect to experience any degree of success in the race. If anyone deserves an upoppos- ed crack at the Legislature, we think it is Rep. Rish. He has worked harder at serving other people for the last few years than most people work for a living. We think none of his constituents can honestly say they have not been served in an adequate manner by Rish. Frankly, we will be dismayed when he goes on to higher office as . he surely must with his record of service and accomplishment. , Some people like Rish's service record, but we appreciate most his unspoiled attitude even after three terms in the House. Such a record of longevity, with the lop-sided votes afforded Rish would tend to turn the heads of many as to the matter of their own self-import- ance. You can't say that about Rish. We always refer to him as "William J." in news articles, since this is his proper name. To every- one, though, he is still "Billy Joe". Perhaps this is the secret of his value to us as a Representative in our state government in Tallahas- see. 4 Rep. Rish Tells of Session Reveals Money 0or Sunland Park In speaking to the Port St. Joe Rotary Club Thursday at their regular noon meeting, Rep. William J.' Rish report- ed that several measures he bad supported had been ap- proved by the last session of the Legislature. He pointed specifically to the measure to increase the homestead exemption from $5,000 to $10,000 for the elder- ly and disabled. Another in- creased exemption was to hike the exemption for taxing purposes of intangibles own- ed by a couple to $50,000. Rish pointed out that it was no longer necessary to pur- chase tags for campers which slide onto the back of a truck. He pointed out that school tax millage limits have been cut to eight from the previous 10 and that a Constitutional Amendment will be proposed in the fall elections to lower the school mill limits to sev- en. Rish was most proud of his ability to secure $288,000 in additional funding for de- velopment of the Sunland Recreation Park on St. Jos- eph's Peninsula for retarded 6 -people. "This is something new in the nation", Rish said, and will serve a forgotten segment of our society. Rish said already significant pro- gress has been made at the camp and pointed out that the newest appropriation would make it an enjoyable facility for those eligible to use it. The Representative stated that the State spent "entirely too much money" in its new budget. "The Legislature will continue to spent it as long as it is there. It looks like our surplus will amount to about $500 million next year. One of the most pressing things fac- ing the next Legislature is a need to cut taxes and we can do it with no sacrifice in the services the state should of- fer." Rish was also pleased with the progress in removing the power, of the phantomi' gov- erinment" which' dret so, much attention in the last session. "These appointed de- partment heads had the pow- er to make rules without giving due notice and we put a stop to that." Rish said before any rules affecting the people are made now, ample notice must be given, allow- ing elected officials and citi- zens time to voice their oppo- sition if they have any. "This has already stopped some of these unpopular rulings," he said. Guest of the club was Jack Green of Birmingham, Ala. Herman Danford In Mediterranean Navy Fireman Herman E. Danford, whose wife Glenda, is the daughter of Lloyd E. Rudd of Port St. Joe, visited Athens while embarked aboard the destroyer escort USS Patterson in the Medi- terrean. He is participating in NATO and national defense training exercises, and also visited Spain, France and Italy while deployed. William Howard McGlock- ton, 132 Avenue D, Port St. Joe, has completed scholastic work for a master's degree in the Ball State University - Air Force sponsored gradu- ate program in Europe. He has been studying at the U. S. Air Force Base at Ramstein, Germany, and his major has been in counseling. Similar programs in this and other areas of graduate study are offered by Ball State at 19 Air Force bases located in England, Ger- many, The Netherlands, Greece and Spain. Among the current gradu- ates of the military and sup- porting personnel from 32 states who hold degrees from 68 different colleges and uni- versities. The aim of the Ball State - Air Force program is to aid students in current military assignments and to help them make the transition to civi- lian employment when they leave the military. Etaoin Shr . by WESLEY RIt. L PORT ST. JOE Duby Ausley, a Tallahassee attor- ney, businessman and civic leader, told the Port St. Joe Lion's Club last Wednesday that '"the residents of the 4th Senatorial District are out- raged about soaring legisla- tive. and government costs, particularly i- lin'li ,-'f run- away inflation when their own personal budgets are hard hit by rising prices and runaway living costs. "In the past 10 years the cost' of state government has gone up 270 per cent," he said.' "Worse than that, leg- islative expenses have gone up over 800 per cent." Ausley told the Lion's Club members that it cost them and the other tax payers of Florida an average of $22,000 for each of the 697 bills that passed the legislature this session. And he noted that the legislature's budget for next year :provides close to an additional $2 million in- rdl/ AMSEY There was something for every sports- minded person in Port St. Joe during the latter , part of last week ... all except the soccer fans, that is. The Pony League all-stars were in a 'play-off series to determine which team went to .,the district tournament; a big softball tourna- ment over the week end at the softball field and ,the second annual golf tournament at St. "Joseph Bay Country Club. To top it all off, the ,,WFL played its first game on TV. n We can't forget the tournaments under way in, the summer recreation program, which is 'featuring the fishing rodeo for the young kids. If summer is a time to play, most everyone who wanted to, could do so here in Port St. Joe last week. Port St. Joe has always been a sports- ,minded place and they have the facilities to ,prove it. If the City is successful in coming up f.with the funds to pay a full time recreation director in their new budget and if they are successful in finding a recreation director to employ after they find the funds, these many facilities should be used even more. If you are one of those who think our little {city offers nothing for its residents, last Thursday and Friday should have convinced 'you different. Not many cities in the nation 'furnishes its citizens a central sauna bath. Only those souls who were trapped in the confines of air conditioning on those :two days missed taking advantage of this fad which is sweeping the nation and which was provided for us, free ,.of charge. ", Well, Mr. Erlichman :and some of his 'henchmen were pronounce, guilty last week for stealing some records o i-Daniell Ellsberg ;from a doctor's office. In the meantime, old Daniell is still running free after stealing secret documents which belonged to the U. S.. Government. That's you and I, you know. Daniell's trial proved he did the deed, but the evidence showing he did it wasn't collected in PAGE TWO crease. "We can legislate ourselves into the poorhouse at this rate," he said. "The token two mill tax reduction grant- ed by the legislature for 1974 takes on a bitter taste in comparison, particularly since increases in valuation will probably eat it up in nnmst counties, and the tax payers will end up paying the same taxes as last year. Because of this there is a widespread and growing lack of confidence in government and in politicians among North Florida citizens." Ausley, a candidate for the 4th District State Senate seat, said he had talked to hun- dreds of citizens in recent weeks in towns throughout the 15-county district. "They feel the politicians in Tallahassee are so busy leg- islating and pushing their own personal projects that they never really make an effort to determine the needs of the public and respond to Watch Out for the Kids Playing TALLAHASSEE "Watch out when the kids are out" is the advice given by the Flor- ida Highway Patrol this week. "Children can hear safety rules in school and at home but still forget all about them when a ball rolls out into the street," said Colonel Eldrige Beach, director of the Patrol. He reminded drivers to keep a constant lookout for such situations and to be ready to act fast in an emer- gency. The only way to com- pensate for children's heed- lessness is by the use of extra caution and alertness on the part of every driver. Beach also cautioned motorists to give bike riders every break. Lack of skill handicaps many young riders while others suffer from overconfidence. The result of either can be disastrous if the driver does not act quickly' enough .to avoid an accident. "Be especially careful whenever you drive near playgrounds, in residential areas or any other place where youngsters are likely to be found.

Star photo them. "This disenchantment with professional politicians and a real concern over the failure of the system to respond to many difficult problems troubling our area citizens led me to enter the District Four race and it has inspired me to continue to go to the people, not the politicians for the answers." Ausley called for involve- ment by all citizens in gov- ernment saying "politics is too important to be left to the politicians." He said he planned to actively campaign in all parts of the sprawling, 15- county Fourth Senatorial Dis- trict to learn the problems and needs of all the citizens, and how he can help solve them in the legislature. Testing Students Is Continuing Testing of students for the specific learning disabilities class for the fall term at Port St. Joe Elementary School will continue on July 22 and 23. Parents of selected stu- dents will receive appoint- ments for their child through the mail. It is important that appointments be kept if at all possible. In the event that an appointment cannot be met the Gulf County Guidance Clinic should be notified. THOUGHTS From The Living Bible Everyone must make up his own mind as to how much he should give. Don't force anyone to give more than he really wants to, for cheerful givers are the ones God prizes. God is able to make it up to you by giving you everything you need and more, so' that there will not only be enough for your own needs, but plenty left over to give joyfully to others. It is as the Scriptures say: "The godly man gives generously to the poor. His good deeds will be an honor to him for- ever." II Corinthians 9:7-9 Religious Heritage of America CObmpletes ets" Aus ley i Hits Soaring Master Degree Costs In. Talk to Lions the proper manner, so the hunters and not the hunted got it in the end. That's life, The moral is, if you plan to steal some- thing, don't break into the doctor's office; try Fort Knox. That way you will be able to enjoy some of the fruits of your mis-guided labors. I see Jimmy Costin has his finger out of the wrappings. Friend Jimmy showed his grey matter recently when he reached under a running lawn mower to get some trash off the blade. He only succeeded'in getting blood all over the blade which is bad to rust things like lawn mower blades. As an extra added attraction, Jimmy nearly lost a finger. He said the mower was hard to start and he didn't want to shut it down to remove the trash for fear he couldn't get it started again. He wound up having to shut it down anyhow while he went to the hospital. Jimmy admits that was a real bright thing to do. Senate candidate Richard (Dick) Stone remarked Friday afternoon at his rally here that Mayor Frank Pate was his idea of a cool man after getting up in the broiling sun to introduce Stone all decked out in a coat, and, according to Stone, "Not sweating a drop". "That's my idea of a cool character in a hot situation," Stone quipped. Of course, Stone doesn't know our Mayor very well. Frank isn't what one would call an average speaker. He won't even class himself as a poor speaker. As a matter of fact, getting up in front of crowds un-nerves hizzonor to no end. So, the truth is, Mayor Pate wasn't keeping cool on a hot day; he was merely too scared to sweat. As usual, he got the job done, though. One of the unfamiliar and therefore frightening things to be introduced in the present political campaign is the new financial disclosure law. The law says a candidate or office holder or an appointed official must disclose any income he has which amounts to at least 10 percent of his total income. County Commissioner Lamar Davis was by the office the other day and observed, "You know that law is useless. A man could have an income of $10 million a year, all from the wrong places and from 11 different sources. If none of those sources amounted to 10 percent of his income he wouldn't have to declare it." That's politics, Lamar. - - Stone Opposes River Dam In Talk Here greeted by his campaign chairman. Tom Coldewey Richard (Dick) Stone made two definite promises to those who came to greet him here in Port St. Joe Friday after- noon. He promised to be available when he was need-. ed and to continue his oppo- sition to damming the Apa- lachicola River. Stone said. "As a member of the Florida Cabinet, I wrote and had passed by the Governor and Cabinet an of- ficial resolution, stating the firm opposition of the Gover- nor and Cabinet to any pro- posed damming of the Apala- chicola River. My resolution was approved unanimously and is now the official stand of the State of Florida. "I am unequivocably op- posed to the damming of the Apalachicola. The criticism of officials from Alabama and Georgia, who criticized me for writing the resolution and taking a position of op- position, does not bother me. In fact, it strengthens my resolve to oppose the dam- ming. "We must protect the ma- rine and natural resources of this river and not allow any- thing to happen to the river that would affect the econ- omic lives of so many people in Florida who are dependent upon this river. "I am seeking election to be your Florida Senator, not from Alabama and Georgia. If elected, my opposition will be applied on the federal level as well as state." Stone went on to say that he had always had an open door policy in his office in Tallahassee as Secretary of State and would continue this policy if he is sent to Wash- ington. "I intend to follow the philosophy of the late Charlie Johns, who said, 'If you need me, I'll be there' and 'I'll be there when you need me.' " It was announced at the rally that Tom S. Coldewey would be his campaign chair- man here in Port St. Joe. Approximately 150 people turned out to welcome Stone and eat a dinner of fried fish cooked and served up by the Port St. Joe Jaycees. An afternoon of music was furnished by Bob Davis and his band of Wewahithcka. Advertising Pays With Increased Sales Tapper Heads GC Board Webb Qualifies for State Senate Race The Gulf Coast Community College Board of Trustees re-elected George G. Tapper of Port St. Joe as Chairman of the Board at a' meeting held here in Port St. Joe Thursday afternoon of last week. Tapper has represent- ed Gulf County as a member of the Board since 1967 and has served as Chairman of the body for five years. The Board also elected Dr. Wil- liam Carter as Vice Chair- man for the 1974-75 period. Dr. Richard Morley, Presi- dent of Gulf Coast reported an overall 21 percent in- crease in summer enrollment over the 1972-1973 period. With many colleges exp r- iencing serious enrollment de- clines, Morley attributed the increase to "a truly dedicat- ed and sincere faculty and staff." He concluded saying, "as long as this institution continues to offer the best possible opportunities in edu- cation, and the community continues to see this in the young individuals who grad- George Tapper uate from Gulf Coast then we'll continue to grow". Sum- mer graduation is scheduled for'.if:00p pm August 7; in the Fine Arl- Auditorium at the College. Four new courses were given approval and are sche- duled to begin in the fall quarter. Courses include Ba- sic Law Enforcement. Fire Science Technology. Psychi- atric Nursing and Man and his Environment, a special course that will be offered to the community via television.

CEMETERY REQUEST A committee from the St. Joseph Historical Society consisting of Mrs. R. H. Brinson, Mrs. Charles Brown and Jesse Stone made a request of the Board for improvements to .the old cem- etery during the next budget year.

The Board met all afternoon Tuesday with rep- resentatives of the firm and Sverdrup and Parcel, engin- eers in regard to this matter. The Board is holding the funds until everything at the plant is finished, to the Board's satisfaction. Two Men Injured In Fall Two men were injured, one seriously, when they fell from a St. Joseph Telephone and Telegraph Company micro- wave tower near Overstreet last Wednesday afternoon. According to Al Cathey, safety director for the firm, Chester Payne and Joe Braugh were working on the tower for a contractor mak- ing repairs when a jim pole slipped 100 feet in the air causing the two men to fall to the top of a building adjacent to the tower.

Settlement Offered by Phone Company A proposed settlement has been offered in a racial dis- crimination suit filed by two black Port St. Joe women against the St. Joseph Tele- phone and Telegraph Co. Nether Lee Lowery and Faye Peters filed the suit after they were not hired by the company. It was alleged in the class- action suit filed in 1973 that the company hired virtually no "negroes" with only five black employees out of a work force of 175. Gulf Coun- ty is more than 23 per cent black, according to the 1970 census. The two women allege that they applied for employment, Mrs. Lowery in August 1971, September 1971 and twice afterwards. Mrs. Peters said she applied May 1972 and made several phone inquiries afterwards. Mrs. Lowery had previous experience as' an operator, the position for which she applied. Neither woman was hired. Their at- torney, Kent Spriggs, con- tended that many less quali- fied whites have been hired. Although the consent order filed in Federal Court in Tallahassee stipulates that the findings do not necessar- ily constitute adjudication of any illegal conduct, the com- pany has agreed to several adjustments in its policies. The settlement claim is $15,000, plus an additional $4,000 for the plaintiff's attor- ney. Included in the proposed ~-. 25 h.p. Buccaneer outboard motor.

JOE TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH A suit has been filed in the Federal Court alleging that the St. Joseph Tele- phone and Telegraph Company has dis- criminated against Negroes in hiring. This suit is a "class action." The class is all Negroes who applied for employ- ment to St. Joe Telephone and Tele. graph and were not hired. The Plaintiffs and St. Joe T & T have proposed a settlement of this suit. If you are a Negro who has applied for employment with St. Joe T & T, you have a right to inspect the Proposed Settlement and object to it in Federal Court if you feel that it is not fair. You may receive a copy of the Proposed Settlement by writing to the Clerk, United States District Court, Tallahas- see, Florida. The Proposed Settlement provides that St. Joseph telephone and Tele- graph will hire qualified applicants into certain positions at a two-for-one Negro-to-white ratio until 20 per cent of the employees in such positions are Negro. The Proposed Settlement also pro- vides that Negroes who applied for em- ployment on or after January 1, 1971, and before or including January 1, 1974, will share in the back pay award. If you are a Negro, applied during that period, and were not hired, you may send an affidavit stating that you applied to the Federal Court: Clerk, United States District Court, Tallahas- see, Florida. All written claims and objections must be received by the Federal Court by July 26, 1974. Later written claims and objections will be barred.
