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-

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

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.

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-

to the dormitory-like cabins,
which have room for 14
campers and two attendants.
The cabins are completely

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

" NOTICE TO NEGRO APPLICANTS
FOR EMPLOYMENT AT
ST. 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.
There will be a hearing in the United
States District Court in Tallahassee at
10:00 A.M. on July 29, 1974. At this
hearing the Court will consider all
objections and enter a final Order in
this case. You may appear in person or
by attorney at the hearing to raise any
objections to the terms of the proposed
settlement-
All claims not heard by or on the
date of the hearing will be barred.

"And we certainly don't

Ausley, a strong advocate

well as excessive legislation.
"Conservatism begins with

agreed to begin work on this
project.
Commissioner Graham re-
quested the Board notify M K
Ranches to discontinue plac-
ing dirt on the Sauls Creek
Road and. have the road
superintendent spread the
dirt now on the road for a
two-lane road. The Board
agreed with this action.
Commissioner Money told
the Board he felt they should
accept no subdivision lots not
large enough to meet Depart-
ment of Health specifications
for placing septic tanks and
wells on the lot.
Commissioner Money also
told the Board that areas in
St. Joe Beach and Oak Grove
have no garbage dumping
facilities and he feels the
County should develop a
county-wide garbage system.
The Mosquito Control Su-
pervisor reported the landfill
site at Wewahitchka is filled
and the Board needs to ac-
quire another site. Commis-
sioner Whitfield agreed to
consult with St. Joe Paper
Company about another loca-
tion at Wewahitchka.
Upon request by the Mos-
quito Control Supervisor, the
Board told him they would
back him on any project they
had authorized him to do.
The Road Superintendent
reported that his employees
request the Board consider a
4-day 10-hour work week. The
Board agreed to consider this
proposal.
