11 THIRTY-SEVENTH YEAR, NUMBER 45 Industry Deep Water Port Fine People Safest Beaches in Florida PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA THURSDAY, JULY 25, 1974 m a 15 Cents Per Copy Requests of County Hit All-Time High Grab Your Purse... It's Budget Time! Hang onto your pocketbooks; it's budget time and indications are that this year's budget will be a doozy. The County Commission started work on their fiscal 1975 budget Tuesday night in a marathon five hour session which was continued on into Wednesday morning. 'From indications of the requests for funds from County superintendents and officials Tuesday night, fiscal 1975 will be an expensive tax year, even with drastic cuts in the requests by the Commission. Only one depart- ment-the Mosquito Control Depart- ment-presented a budget with a reduction. Department superintendent Emmett Daniell gave the Board a budget request which was $7,380 less than last year, but a salary increase negotiated for the Road Department at the meeting was also applied to the Mosquito Control men cutting the department reduction to only $2,325. The big budget-Road and Bridge Department-came to the attention of the Board first. Superintendent Lloyd Whitfield told the Board he would need a whopping $600,364 for next fiscal year, even before the salary increases were granted. The Board set right into the job of cutting the request down to $463,013.08 before leaving this partic- ular request for the night. The Road Department had $367,666.48 in its budget for last year. Employees of the Road Department were present at the meeting making a pitch for more salary money in the next fiscal year. The Board had given the Road Department men an in- crease of 10c per hour three months ago as a cost of living raise, but the employees said it wasn't nearly enough with present day prices. After negotiating activities between the Board and the men of the Road Department, the Commission agreed to give the men another 25c per hour and assume their part of their retire- ment contributions on January 1. Florida Jaw would require the Board to assume this payment on October of next year. Taking over the retirement contributions would give the em- ployees an additional four percent increase in salary. The same wage increase was also applied to the Mosquito Control em- ployees. Tentative approval was also given to hire four more men in the Road Department. The. Department for- merly operated with a force of 23 men. Since assuming the responsibilities of making secondary road repairs, the Department has had to assign six men to this duty and are now operating with 25 men. The Road and Bridge Department was financed last fiscal year by race track money and Secondary Road maintenance money received from the State of Florida. Any increase in the budget will supposedly require more of the race track money which must be removed from other budgets and replaced with taxes. COLLECTOR'S BUDGET UP Harland Pridgeon asked the Board to increase his budget and let him finance through the county bookkeep- ing system rather than go through the state office. He said the move would simplify record keeping and also allow the county to retain several fees collected by his office and now sent to the State of Florida. The Tax Collector requested a budget of $62,000 for an increase of $18,000 over last year. Approximately $14,000 of the budget would be financed by fees collected by his office. Pridgeon listed increased salaries, higher supplies cost and the cost of computer rental as the reasons for his budget increase. SHERIFF NEEDS MORE Sheriff Raymond Lawrence also pre- sented his budget which reflected an increase of 25 percent over last fiscal year. Lawrence said the wage and hour law now required him to pay overtime and this item alone would increase his salary schedule considerably. To re- duce overtime, Sheriff Lawrence in- cluded provisions for another deputy .in his new budget. He stated that increased costs alone would make it mandatory that an additional $32,911 be levied to provide just the services which were provided last year. The Sheriff's budget last year was $184,866. He is asking for $231,240 in fiscal 1975. The Sheriff said that in addition to the additional man, salary increases, gasoline and automobile increases, he wishes to purchase an additional $2,- 200 in crime detection equipment in the next fiscal year. "We're going after the dope business next year, and this equipment is necessary in order for us to be successful." RECESS After the Sheriff's budget was pre- sented, the Board recessed until Wed-. nesday morning. Still to be heard was the Veteran's Service Officer, Civil Defense and the General Fund. No indication was given as to what these departments would ask for, but Civil Defense Director Richard Lan- caster told The Star he would ask for a 14 percent increase in his $19,000 budget. Salaries, supplies and fuel seem to be the vehicle all departments are using to justify their requests for more funds and none can deny these items are higher. What the County Board will do to meet the needs and still stay within their millage limits will prob- ably be the subject of several meet- ings in the next month. Sand Mining Operation Slated for Wewahitchka A builders' sand mining firm told the Gulf County Commission Tuesday night, they would begin mining a deposit of high quality sand near the Dead Lakes soon if financing of equipment could be arranged. Boi White-'and -Dave' La- tham of the Panhandle Min- ing Development Company of 'Tallahassee told the Board they had discovered the buil- ders' sand on about 200 acres of property they owned near 'the Dead Lakes and wanted to put in the mining opera- tion. White told the Board his firm wished the County Board to give them permis- sion to float industrial reve- nue bonds under the name of the county for the operation. White said the proposed financial arrangements were being used in several areas throughout the nation to al- low firms to borrow money at lower interest rates. The County would participate in the loan, but have no liability in the matter. In the plan, the firm would issue the indus- trial revenue bonds in the name of the county, securing them with the machinery purchased and the property on which the mining opera- tion is to take place. The firm representatives said they al- ready had a Tallahassee bank committed to loan the money under the proposed arrangement. Attorney William J. Rish assured the Board they would -have ndo hiabiit in' their mat- ter. Rish said, "It won't 'impair the County's credit or require any taxes. It's mere- ly a conduit for financing since it will allow lower in- terest rates due to the fact James L. Maddox, 83, a resident of 103 Hunter St., Oak Grove, died Tuesday, July 16 in Bay Memorial Hospital. Before his retire- ment he was employed by the turpentine industry. Survivors include: two sons, William Ralph Maddox, Panama City and Lucious J. Maddox of Savannah, Ga.; a step-son, Sam Bradley of Panama City; four daugh- ters, Mrs. Josephine Smith of Morgan City, La., Mrs. Kay Green of Lake City, Mrs. Videll Young, Henderson, interest on such bonds are tax free." Latham told the Board the firm was adhering strictly to environment control policies and there would be no chance of polluting the Dead Lakes. Latham said the mining operation would employ six to 10 people. The County Commission gave its approval for the financial arrangements. Tex. and Mrs. Addis Rhames, Grand Bay, Ala.; 19 grand- children, 44 great-grandchil- dren and six great-great- grandchildren. Funeral services were held Thursday, July 18 at 3 p.m. at the Comforter Funeral Home Chapel, conducted by the Rev. Roy Smith, pastor of the Nazarene Church or Port St. Joe. Interment followed in the family plot of Holly Hill Cemetery. All services were under the direction of Comforter Fun- eral Home..

We're Not Convinced All Damming Bad We haven't been that convinced that dating of the Apalachicola River was such a bad thing. While we opposed the previous plans of the Corps of Engineers for a series of dams above Blountstown, we would like to see more of their latest proposal.to construct a run of the river dam to be able to form an opinion based on facts rather than emotion. We believe, like Major Tom Garrison put it at the hearings on River land purchase last Monday, that wise use should be made of the river and its environs, rather than a prohibition of use. We think the plans to purchase the land on each side of the river by the state is wise use, since, apparently we will be able to retain recreational use of the lands. If such use isn't allowed, we will be opposed to the purchase. But back to the dam. ,According to the Corps of En- gineers'.- preliminary statement, they want to construct one dam above Blountstown just high enough to mairitain' a nine foot channel. The Engineers also say that a four foot reading at Blounts- town will give them a nine foot channel. Their description points to a low level dam much like the one at the end of the Dead Lakes, which would allow the River to run all the time, regardless of the reading at Blountstown and once the. channel back of the dam is filled, the water depth this side of its location would not be affected. Getting back to Monday's hear- ings,- the,.Department of Natural Resources':peopMle, in making their pitch for the purchase of the lower river lands, made the statement that their biological experts had examined the flood plain in the area planned for purchase and came up with thieinformation that nutrients from this flood plain fur- nishes all the food for seafood production in Apalachicola Bay and its estuary. Since this is the main emotional objection to the Corps' of Engineers' plans for a run of the river dam north of Blountstown, the DNR people have just about riddled the most effective argu- ment against the Corps' dam full of holes. Apalachicola interests have been opposing the dam on the basis that it would cut off the food supply for their oyster industry. Since the biologists say this food comes from the flood plains within 25 miles of Apalachicola and since the Corps of Engineers statements say their planned dam would not impede the flow of the River, what prgVrnent can we, ,se now against their request? : *'" . If the proposed dam would allow all lower river activities to proceed as they have for years and would also serve the purpose of allowing commerce on the upper river, we can see no harm in telling the Corps to go ahead. Not only would it help Florida economically, but it would also aid our neighbors. Who can tell when we might need their help in return? Again, we think the dam would help the sports aspects of the lower river. Now the Corps uses exten- sive dredging to keep their channel open. They say the proposed dam would cut this dredging need dras- tically. We feel that curtailed dredging would do far more to enhance fishing and hunting on the river than the dam may possibly impede. Expectation Worst Inflation is a startling thing. One never knows from one day to the next what he will have to pay for a given item. Governmental agencies in Gulf County, and else- where, are finding it hard to get bids on items they wish to pur- chase because vendors don't know what some items will cost when they are delivered. In many in- stances, it would be cheaper for the governments to buy without bid on the day an item is needed rather than go through the formalities and have their desired item increase in price before delivery is finally 'made. On the individual level the citizens are grumbling about their high electric bills, their high food bill, their high clothing bill, their high everything. But, even though things are high, there isn't a whole lot of indication that many people are doing without things they want merely because the price is high. drive around Port St. Joe, glancir in the yards of our citizens wi prove that. They have just aboi anything a person could wan several cars, nice boats, camper power tools, recreational equip ment, nice homes, etc. And, mo every home has the windows shu indicating the air conditioner insic is running, regardless of the hig electric bill. Inflation scares everybody: since most people have sens enough to know that things mu: eventually go in the opposite dire' tion. While inflation means hig prices, it also means the money available to buy these things w4 desire. We believe the worst thin about inflation is the expectation when the day will come when th prices-and wages-start falling from the present levels. --THE STAR- Published Every Thursday at 30 Williams Avenue, Port St. Joe, Florida By The Star Publishing Company Second-Class Postage Paid at Port St. Joe, Florida 32456 '..1.* Offshore Oil Platforms Withstand Bad Weather ig The major differences ill between onshore and un- dersea drilling are the ut facilities used 'to support the t: well-drilling equipment, S, These facilities may be of p_ several different types, st including: A floating vessel t, moored above the well site; le A semi-submersible Ih vessel floating above the sea bottom; Y, THOUGHT se st From The Living Bible C- "Who was this fellow?" the king demanded.

' II 'Kings i7-10 f SReligious Heritage of America A "jackup," where steel rigs are placed on the bottom and the drilling platform is jacked up above the waves; or A steel or concrete platform extending from the seabed to a height safely above the storm waves. Platforms of this latter type are designed to withstand storms of the greatest intensity recorded over the previous 100 years in the area of the rig. Such platforms are con- structed to withstand hurri- cane force winds, hurricane driven waves, strong cur- rents and floating ice where weather patterns warrant these extreme precautions. A number of separate wells may be drilled from a single large platform. Some of these wells are drilled into different earth formations. Others are drilled into the same structure but at dif- ,.',ferent- angles so that they .may '"bottom" at selected locations often as much as a mile laterally from the site of the platform itself. Drilling platforms at sea generally have fully e- quipped living quarters for the crews. They are also equipped with heliports, and complete sewage and waste treatment systems. If oil or gas or both - are found in commercially significant quantities, pre- parations are made to change the platform from drilling to production opera- tions. Once drilling is completed, production casing is placed in the hole and cemented into place. An additional, smaller pipe, called "tubing" - through which the petroleum is to flow is usually suspended within the in- nermost string of casing from an assemblage of valves and other equipment at the wellhead. The wellhead assembly - called a "Christmas tree" - is a series of valves, controls and connections designed to regulate the flow of fluids Trom the well. Downhole safety valves are installed in the tubing string below the ocean floor. These devices are designed to automatically shut off the well when flow pressures vary from predicted norms. Some of the valves are Guidance Clinic Growing Started 4 PatiqPnts In A Year -.'." Service by the Gulf County Guidance Clinic has grown from 24 patients the first year of its operation to a present 200 patients now be- ing treated, Dr. Wayne Con- ger, psychologist told the Ro- tary Club last Thursday. The clinic was started in 1967 on a part time basis, operating out of the Gulf County Health Department and now has its own quarters on Williams Avenue, which will soon be renovated to accommodate the Clinic. Presently, the clinic is locat- ed in a rented building on Reid Avenue. "One of our biggest prob- lems is removing the idea from the citizens that we treat only crazy people", Dr. Conger said. "These 'crazy' people are a minor part of our patient load", he said. "We help people with all sorts of problems; marital difficulties, people who feel things are not going right, disturbed people, students with parent and teacher prob- lems and many others which are far from driving a person crazy". As ,the Doctor des- cribed it, the clinic serves as sort of a pseudo mother or big brother for those who have problems they don't know how to handle. The speaker said that dur- ing the coming year, the clinic will strive to increase the present staff'which con- sists of Dr. Conger and two other psychologists working here out of the Bay County Mental Health Clinic along with two full time staff mem- bers. Dr. Conger said he hopes to secure the services of a full-time psychologist during the next year. The clinic also will try to estab- lish a day care center for patients released from the state's mental hospitals -. Treatment of alcohol and drug problems are also on the agenda for an increased service. The married couple which fights together stays together. Right. or wrong? If 'you guessed' wrong, you're wrong. Right is the right answer. Now if you're not confused enough, let's put it plainly: A good argument or fight now and then actually enhances a couple's relationship instead of hurting it. And don't take my word for it, that's the partial comments of a Florida State University Counselor, Dr. Tom Dowd. Here's part of what he says: "Conflict is inevitable in any kind of intimate relationship and if properly ' handled, it's natural and good not something to be swept under the rug." Now the kicker in that statement is the phrase "if properly handled." That's where most couples go wrong. They just don't know how to fight. Dowd also reinforces an argument advanced fre- quently by this column that couples tend to argue about peripheral things, not the main issues. Most common argument topics are the mother-in-law, cooking, tidiness of one or the other and whether or not they put the cap back on the toothpaste tube. Dowd says each couple should have an action plan. They should talk things out more often. And this is where designed to be operated from the surface. Other safety devices in- clude automatic and manually operated valves, alarms and monitoring and recording equipment. Navi- gational warnings and fire detection devices also are installed. Master switches, located at various places on the rig, are designed to shut down the entire operation if an e- mergency should occur that -ell 1._ Grassy Mike Beaudoin most couples go wrong - they either can't or won't communicate with one another. That argument you had last night over the grits being too lumpy actually had nothing to do with the grits - it was because he had gotten chewed out by his boss Friday afternoon and that was his way of taking it out on someone else. And when she made a federal case out of his leaving his dirty clothes in the bathroom, it was simply because her hair stylist put one too many fingaloos in her hairdo that morning. There is a real art to talking with husbands or wives. Oftentimes you find that one or the other simply tunes the other out. But, be careful, you never know for sure whether they're tuned in or not. Take this sample for an example: He: "Would you like to go out for dinner and dancing this weekend?" She: "Yes dear." He: "Don't you wish you were married to Rock Hudson?" She: "Yes dear." He: "Isn't it a shame that Liz and Richard finally got divorced?" She: "Yes dear." He: "I don't suppose ydu'd mind if I went out with the boys to play poker tonight?" She: "NO, dear." might endanger life or property, or cause an oil spill. The care taken to prevent blowouts and oil spills from undersea drilling and pro- duction operations has produced an exceptional safety record. During the drilling of the more than 17,000 such wells in U.S. waters, only a few have ex- perienced blowouts. Read and Use the Classifieds Etaoin A\ Shrdlu by WESLEY R. RAMSEY It looks like several tax payers agreed with us last week in our contention that subdivision developers -should be required to build their own roads before they are accepted by the county on plats. We had hardly opened the doors last Thursday morning before the phone started ringing with people saying they felt as we did about the matter. We'll probably hear more about this in the days to come. With the election campaign beginning to 'get in full swing, I see where some of the state-wide candidates are having trouble find- ing contributions to their election campaigns. What with the current open season on cam- paign contributors, its small wonder that those who are prone to contribute to a candidate they favor are reluctant to do so. Not only is the resulting publicity embarrassing to the contributor and contribute alike, it is also expensive hiring lawyers to prove that they did no wrong. 'Even legal contributions are tainted these days, what with the sensational stories being dredged up, mostly out of the garbage heap by garbage pickers. Everything isn't falling apart, though. We still see a sense of values floating around. For instance, I see by the papers where former Beatle John Lennon and his wife, Yoko Ono Lennon are being ushered out of the country as undesirables. The Lennons are being asked to leave because of a 1968 conviction for possessing marijuana in Britian. I may be hard-headed and unfair but I think there are plenty of other reasons to ask them to leave. We don't heed citizens like that in this country. We can raise all we need right here without importing them. So, goodbye and good riddance, John and Yoko. Frenchie and I slipped off and went to a movie Friday night. We went to see Papillon. The film was the story of a French criminal and his banishment to Devil's Island. Those French didn't play around with a criminal if the film was based on any figment of fact. Of course, the prison has since been abandoned and, evidently, the manner of treating prisoners which was practiced there. If anything could deter a criminal from repeating a crime, it would be a short stay on Devil's Island. The Turks and Greeks seem to be resuming their centuries-old feud over Cyprus. Ever since the beginning of recoroect history those two nations have been at each other's throat and while a delegation from the United States may pull them apart for the moment, the will to fight will still be there and they will probably resume their jousting at another day. Old Diz has flung his last fast ball and mangled his last word. I saw him on the Monday night baseball game a few weeks ago and he acted like he wasn't feeling too well then. He went out just like his famous pitch-fast. It's ironic, that while Dizzy Dean was one of the best baseball pitchers in history, he was probably better known for his colorful way of describing an event in the game he loved and by the way he enjoyed life. He just "slud" intp everything he did with a gusto. Tension didn't cause his heart attack. Did you ever look at the headlines of the daily papers? Last week, I picked up an issue of the Tallahassee Democrat and noticed these head- lines in the front section: "MEAT PRICES TO JUMP SOON" So what else is news? "RASH OF STRIKES IN U.S. CONTIN- UES" Everybody cries in their lemonade about the continuing inflation, but nobody seems to want to be the one to turn the reasons for inflation around. Labor wants more money and industry wants more profit so we have continued strikes for a slice of that profit and inflation continues. "TAXPAYERS LOSING CONTROL OF PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM" It's a toss-up now whether Tallahassee, Washington .or the students will eventually gain the contr l once held by the tax payer. And finally, "JUDICIARY TO HEAR LAST WITNESS" Does that mean we're finally going to wind up Watergate and begin to read about something else for a while?

NOW OPEN Omega International HAIR DESIGNING For Men & Women Formerly of The Razor's Edge 1501 North Mulberry - Suite No. 3 KEN DAVIS & FRED ENGLE Phone 769-4162, Panama City /-DEP TENT TRE__, The soft glow of candlelight filled the sanctuary of the First Baptist Church of Port St. Joe, as Miss Joyce Elaine Parker became the bride of Stephen Adams. The wedding was an event of Saturday, June 29, and was performed by the Reverend Dewitt Mat- hews, pastor of the church. 1The bride is the daughter of. Nr. andyMrs. Thomas Ed- Ward Parkerof -P6rt'St.'JOe-- Her grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Wilder, Sr. and Mrs.T. E. Parker, Sr. and the late Mr. Parker, all MRS. STEPHEN ADAMS of Port St. Joe. The groom's parents are Mr. and Mrs. Foy Adams of Port St. Joe. He is the grandson of Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Starling of White City. The impressive ceremony was performed before a sim- ple brass cross, background- ed by a large ivy-entwined fan-shaped candleholder flanked by candlebra extend- ing the' entire width of the choir loft, all holding burning white tapers. Grecian urns on pedestals placed on either side of the elevated nave held she ~ag "The Lord's Pray- er" at the conclusion df the ceremony as the young cou- ple knelt at the prie-dieu. Andy Namynanik, cousin of the bride of Panama City, sang "The Wedding Song" prior to the ceremony, ac- companied at the piano by Billy Rich of Port St. Joe. Given in marriage by her father, the bride was radiant in an Alfred Angelo original gown of peau de soie. The fitted bodice featured a yoke and collar of lace with dainty pearl buttons.

Championships for horseshoes, checkers, tennis, dominoes and "one-on-one" basketball were held today, with presentations and awards July 26. Fast and furious tennis tournaments were held July 18 and 19 at the 8th St. Courts. Trace Parker and Stuart Edwards, age group six to nine, put on a good example of Beginner Tennis play. Trace won out over Stuart 6-1. In tle 10-11 age group, Brent Scott defeated Tim Stutzman 6-3. In one of the better matches of the day, Stan Brant defeated- Mark Moore 6-4, 6-1. These two kids are really going to be tennis players. Bob Lang gave a good account of himself be- fore bowing out in the semi- finals. These boys played in the 12-13 age group. Then came the "Big Boys", Wade Stoutamire dumped De- wayne Brant in the 14-16 age bracket; 6-3, 6-3. Congratula- tions to the young fellows for a fine job. Mike Scott is due his share of credit for taking over the tennis program on such short notice. Check The Star for pictures of the tennis and fish rodeo winners from last week. According to Louise Park- TALLAHASSEE State and Federal law require that all boats display certain lights at night. These lights will tell others of your presence and what kind of boat you are. These - lights on other boats will tell you whether you're meeting, crossing, or overtaking another boai. Only three (3) colors are used: red, green, and white. A red light is displayed on the bow's left or port side. An easy way to remember is "Port Wine is red." A green light is displayed on the bow and in- dicates the right or starboard side. White lights are usually displayed on the back (stern) of boats but may be found on other parts of the boat, especially on larger vessels. In addition to the colors used and the position of the lights on a boat, lights are "shaded" so, that they cannot be seen from certain directions. This shaded light enables the viewer to know all he needs to know about the direction it is going, size and. type of boat it is. The amount of light that can be seen from a shaded light is measured in "Points." A point is equal to eleven and one quarter degrees (11%) of a circle, or 11 degrees and 15 minutes. For example an unshaded light that can be seen from any direction would be called a 32 point light, example er, the Stac House will re- main open through August 16 in order to accommodate youngsters until shortly before the opening date of school. The 16th St. Golf Course will be the scene of the Kids Golf Tournament due to begin today, with pre- sentations Friday, July 26. Mr. Barlow expressed his gratitude for the splendid cooperation of all the boys and girls 'who have helped make this a very successful and enjoyable program. Activities at the Port St. Joe Elementary School are still in full swing. Don't for- get the baton lessons and daily swimming at the beaches. Mr. Wood announces a trip to Wakulla Springs Friday, July 26. Students desiring to make this trip are asked to bring 50 cents, a bag lunch, drink and other monies if boat excursions are desired. A note signed by parents is also required if the person making the trip wishes to swim in the Springs. The Elementary School program will be carried through August 2. On behalf of the youth of Port St. Joe, grateful appre- ciation is given to the City Government, Police Chief Griffin, Emmett Daniell and the St. Joe Ice Company for their time and energy in making the Summer Recrea- tion Program a successful one. 32 x 11.25 equals 360 degrees, a complete circle. A ten (10) point light can be seen through an arc of 112% degrees (10 x 11.25), or 112 degrees and 30 minutes. Ten (10) point lights are always red or green. For twelve (12) and twenty 120 point lights multiply b) 11.25 for degrees of a circle. Twelve, twenty and thirty-two point lights are always white. All boats in Florida regardless of size or type are required by law to carry a white emergency light (a flashlight suffices) that can be shown in time to prevent a collision. The hand light is required in the event regular navigation lights fail. The requirements for navigation lights in this area are under Inland Rules, they are not legal offshore, but boats with International Rule lights are legal on inland waters anria many boats in Florida carry these lights because of offshore fishing parties. The same red-green running lights are used. But under In- ternational Rules, a 12-point white stern light is mounted aft, and is visible over a 135 degree arc aft. A white, 20-point bow light is installed forward, and is visible over a 225-degree arc forward. The 20-point bow light must be installed no less than 36 inches higher than the colored light.

Craig Weimorts tossed six innings for Port St. Joe, and Wade Stoutamire came on in relief in the seventh. In the night-cap, the .big Port St. Joe bats began to speak, and the All-Stars took the tournament with a 12-2 drubbing of Marianna. Wade Stoutamire hurled the first four innings of the game and Harlan Haddock came on in relief in the fifth. League Finds Tourney Rough 15 Qualified At Tuesday Deadline.

Upon motion by Comm. Graham, seconded by Comm. Whitfield and carried, said resolution was accepted and ordered filed. The Board did then enter into a discussion as to just what the policy of this Board was as to accepting subdi- vision plats and paving streets. Comm. Davis said he has reports that some people selling lots in areas of the County where there is no road are promising the buy- ers that the County will build them a road-. He suggested that the public be notified as to the policy of the Board. Comm. Graham stated that he took the position that it was the County Commission- ers responsibility to build roads anywhere in the County where the people lived, but only after the necessary ease- merits were received and the road approved for construc- tion by the Board. Comm. Whitfield said he was in favor of building a road anywhere that the County has right of way. Commissioner Graham ask- ed as to the status of the by-pass road for Simmons Bayou. The Attorney report- ed that bids will be adver- tised on July 23 and will be let in August. He then in- formed the Commission that in order to rush the paving at Sunland Recreation Center at St. Joseph'S' 'Peninsula, the County has been requested to help with some of the labor. The Board agreed to assist in this manner. George G. Tapper request- ed a non-exclusive franchise for cable-vision for Ward Ridge and the southern part of the County. The Board said this matter will be taken under advisement. The Mosquito Control Su- pervisor reminded the Board that aosanitary land fill site must be obtained for the Wewahitchka area. Comm. Whitfield said that progress is being made with one land owner for a site. Commissioner Money re- ported that Buddy Gay con- tinues to request that the pond near his place at Honey- ville be drained. The Mos- quito Control Supervisor ad- vised that this project has been turned down by the State on three previous appli- cations, but that he would apply again. Commissioner Graham ask- ed if the Department of Transportation has indicated whether or not the big ditch on the south boundary of Oak Grove is a state or county ditch. He was advised that Department of Transporta- tion does not claim this ditch. Whereupon, there was a motion by Comm. Money, seconded by Comm. Whit- field and carried that this project be turned over to the Mosquito Control Department and placed on its mainte- nance list. The Attorney reported that an engineer from the Depart- ment of Transportation will be at the Highland View bridge tomorrow to survey the bridge for repairs. There being no further bus- iness, the meeting adjourned. r I Consolidated Statement of Condition, June 30,1974 ASSETS Cash and Due from Banks Investment Securities: U.S. Treasury Securities U.S. Government Agency Obligations State and Municipal Bonds Other Securities Trading Account Securities Federal Funds Sold & Securities Purchased under Agreement to Resell Loans and Discounts Bank Premises and Equipment (Net) Other Real Estate Owned Interest and Income Earned - Not Collected Other Assets Total Assets LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Deposits: Demand Time and Savings Total Deposits Federal Funds Purchased and Securities Sold Under Agreement to Repurchase Interest and Income Collected - Not Earned Provision for Taxes, Interest, etc. Other Liabilities Total Liabilities Reserve for Losses on Loans Minority Interest in Subsidiary Banks Stockholders' Equity: Capital Stock, par value $12.50 Authorized 12,000,000 shares Outstanding 9,829,392 shares Undivided Profits Less Excess of Par Value of Stock Issued Over Underlying Equity in Subsidiary Banks Total Stockholders' Equity Total Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity $ 188,228,598 62,498,787 89,359,138 252,153,064 43,904,593 5,624,238 64,670,000 701,394,415 36,272,464 585,249 12,378,589 2,276,903 $ 1,459,346,038 $ 543,216,334 683,947,948 1,227,164,282 31,110,100 24,390,894 8,969,499 305,320 $ 1,291,940,095 7,556,063 369,575 $ 122,867,400 39,931,299 $ 162,798,699 (3,318,394) $ 159,480,305 $ 1,459,346,038 BOARD OF DIRECTORS R.

Trees to La By: Shannon Smith Home Grounds Specialist University of Florida Trees are an indispensable part of the landscape. They give a home, street or com- mercial site individuality, beauty and a restful quality. And, because of their long life, trees give the surround- ings' a sense of permanence, and stability. Trees are vital in combat- ing environmental pollution. Trees help keep our air sup- ply fresh by trapping and fil- tering ash, dust and pollen; removing carbon dioxide that we exhale and that factories and engines emit; and at the same time, trees are releas- ing oxygen needed for our existence. Trees camouflage harsh scenery and unsightly city dumps, auto graveyards and industrial sites. In addi- tion, trees reduce noise pol- lution by acting as barriers to sound; lower temperatures by shading and evaporation of water from their leaves, and reduce soil erosion. Last but certainly not least, trees beautify our gardens, streets and parks and please our senses with their shapes, pat- terns, colors, fragrance and seasonal changes. No homesite is too small that it couldn't accommodate at least one growing tree! Trees are adapted to many uses in landscape design be- cause of wide variation in growing habits. Proper selec- tion and use of trees is very important since they form the dominant part of the ndsca pe landscape. Trees are classi- fied into several types de- pending on how they are used in landscaping.. Shade trees should have moderate to dense foliage (size and-or number of leaves). They should not have a messy fruit, flower or seed. A good shade tree should have the ability to withstand high winds and be relatively free from insect and disease pests. Examples of good shade trees for Florida in- clude oaks, maples, magno- lia, elm, mahogany and black olive. Homes may need both deci- duous (shed leaves each year) and evergreen shade trees. Evergreen trees are useful where shade is desired year-round, but deciduous trees should be selected for areas where shade is de- sired during warm months and sun during cool months. Framing trees are used to soften corners and roof lines of the home and to form patterns against the sky. Trees used for. this purpose should not be so massive or spectacular that they attract attention to themselves rather than focus attention on the home. Trees used for framing include mimosa, orchid tree, black olive, red- bud, dogwood, hollies, pines and mahogany. Street trees are most com- monly used between side- walks and streets, along boul- evards and in parks. They are usually thought of as large trees but do not have to FSears Is The BIGGEST SHOPPING CENTER IN THE WORLD and in Port 'St. Joe. This merchandise giant is as close as your telephone.
