Jail Escapee Recaptured HDmea
CS*!


Port St. Joe and the sur-
rounding area has been the
scene-.oL an intensive search
since last Wednesday night,
when two prisoners over-
powered a jailer at the Gulf
County Jail and escaped'.
Sheriff Raymond Lawrence
reports that on Wednesday
night, July 24, about 9 p.m., a
cell containing five inmates
who were being held for the
state prison, became flooded
to such an extent that the
inmates had to be moved to
another area.
Bill Zagorski, jailer-dis-
patcher went back to move
the group so that they would
not have to spend the night in
a flooded cell. In moving
them to an adjoining cell one
at a time, one of the inmates
viciously attacked Zagorski,
beating him in the face and
head and then kicking him
after he fell to the ground.
Two inmates ran down the
hall and out the back door of
the jail. The inmate who beat
Zagorski then ran down the
hall but could not find his
way out of the building, and
subsequently ran back into
his cell.
James William Neal, age
20, and Sherman Henry Fos-
ter, age 33, were the two
inmates who successfully es-
caped. Foster was recaptured


Iftrs. Pattie G. Gibson, 81,
of 202 16th St., died Sunday
morning, July 28.
She was a member of the
First United Methodist
Church in which she was a
communion steward for 15
years, a life member of the
Missionary Society and a
member of the choir for 45
years. She also was a Past
Worthy Matron of the Order
of Eastern Star, a member of
the teaching profession of
Port St. Joe where she taught
for many years. In later
years she served as a substi-
tute teacher when the need
arose.
She is survived by her hus-
band, B. Roy Gibson Sr. of
Port St. Joe; a son B. Roy
Gibson Jr. of Port St. Joe;
two daughters, Mrs. Alice

Triplets Born Here Last Thursday


Port St. Joe's Municipal Hospital
saw its third set of triplets born in the
institution last Thursday afternoon.
This was the third set of triplets. boyn
in the hospital in its 34 year history.

The three baby boys, identical
triplets, were born to Cynthia Rames
of Port St. Joe and were delivered by


Damon Holton, Medical Assistant to
Dr. Wayne Hendrix.
According to Dr. Shirley Simpson,
the doctor of record in the birth, the
triplets were two months premature
and weighed about two to three
pounds each. They were not weighed
at birth because of their delicate


condition. The babies were transferred
to Pensacola later Thursday evening
for hospitalization in a special unit for
premature babies.
In spite of the extra precautions,
one of the baby boys, Eric Kendall
died Monday. The other two, Derick
Marvell and Sedrick Tredell, seem to
be doing as well as can be expected.


be returned to the County.
The same situation exists
with the Tax Collector, with
the County contributing $30,-
000 last year and a budget of
$62,036.30 requested for 1975,
with all fees returnable to the
County.
The Veterans' Service Of-
ficer's budget has been in-
creased from $9,776.00 to $11,-
117.00.
The Clerk of the Circuit
Court office will receive $98,-
475.00 in fiscal '75 as compar-
ed with $86,746.00 during the
present budget year.
The Extension Director of-
fice (County Farm Agent)
will have a county budget of
$14,425 for the new year. A


total of $13,580 was budgeted
last year.
Civil Defense will come in
for an increase from $18,-
412.00 in the present budget
to $19,475.00 next year.
The Sheriff's budget is still
hanging' fire. Sheriff Ray-
mond Lawrence had present-
ed what he described as a
"no fat" budget of $230,748
for an increase of $45,196.11
over last year. The County
Board has offered to com-
promise with the Sheriff for
$200,756.00 but Lawrence said
that isn't enough to do the job
necessary and has elected to
take his request to the State
Department of Administra-
tion for approval.


Sheriff Taking His


Budget Request to


State for Approval

Gulf County Sheriff Raymond Lawrence has said
he intends to take his budget requests to the
Department of Administration in Tallahassee for
approval. Lawrence's decision was announced this
week in the face of resistance of the Gulf County
Commission toward funding of the budget he
presented and termed a "no fat" document.
Thd Commission has agreed to allow Lawrence a
$15,000 increase in his proposed fiscal 1975 budget,
but Lawrence says it will take an additional
$45,196.11. In his budget request last Tuesday night,
the Sheriff said it would take an additional $32,911
just to provide the same service his department
provided last year. Lawrence said the increase in
fuel, supplies, repairs, etc, has made a dramatic
increase in the money needs of his department.
"In addition to the increased costs of our present
operation, new wage and hour laws require us to pay
our men more and make employment of another man
necessary": The Sheriff says he presently has six
men on his force and he needs seven. He told The
Star, the only reason his budget didn't go in the red
last year was due to the fact he had turnover in
personnel and at times had only four and five men on
his staff, saving several thousand dollars in salaries.
Lawrence operates the only county service which
has a recourse to State decisions on the amount of
money he will be provided with to operate. The
Sheriff says he has fully itemized his new budget and
can justify every penny he is asking for. The County
Commission doesn't doubt the Sheriff's need, they
are just reluctant to give such-a large increase in one
year.
Lawrence said he will probably present his case
to Tallahassee this week, along with a detailed
description of his planned budget, for their decision
on his request.
Should the State agree with Lawrence's conten-
tion that his budget is necessary, the County has no
alternative but to provide the funds. If the State turns
the Sheriff's request down, he must then come back
and deal with the County Board.




Dixie Youth Team


Advances In Tourney


Port St. Joe's entry in the
Dixie Youth play-offs are still
in the running and have
advanced to the District
Tournament after winning
the Sub-District in Marianna
last week.
The Port St. Joe team rode
the home run ball to the
tournament victory, hitting
nine homers in four games.
After winning last Monday
night (reported in last week's
Star) they went on to defeat
Marianna, -5-3 Wednesday
night on eight hits. One of the
hits was a homer by Danny
DeWitt, who wound up blast-
ing four out of the park in the
series. The Saints nailed the
game down in the fourth
inning with four runs.
Buddy Brown started on
the mound for Port St. Joe,
giving up three hits and
striking out seven and issuing


three walks. Chuck Pollock
came on in the fifth inning
and struck out two while
giving up three hits and
allowing one walk. Port St.
Joe had eight hits and com-
mitted two errors.
Saturday, Port St. Joe met
Marianna again in a double
header for the championship.
In the first game, the
Saints lost 9-2. Tim Beard
pitched three innings, Chuck
Pollock .two and Mark Scott
one, giving up nine hits and
allowing two walks. Port St.
Joe could manage only five
hits and committed three er-
rors.
In the second game, things
turned around and the Saints
banged out five homers in
posting their 12-3 win. Tim
Beard homered in the first
with two men on. Danny

County Budget Increase


Is Inevitable'


Anybody who thinks the County
can continue to give the same
services as last year without an
increase in money- from the tax
payers also, in all likelihood, be-
lieves the world is flat.
Nobody will argue with the
need for an increase, in money to
run the various County services if
the increase is reasonable. In our
opinion, "reasonable" would be
something like 10, percent. From
preliminary appearances, the in-
crease will- be much more than
that. As a matter of fact, the last
figures we had, had the budget
flirting dangerously close to the
point where the County would be
forced by law to hold a public
hearing and justify the increase.
That point is a 25 percent increase
in tax money over the previous
year.
In faii e..,dori'tget th
idea the County Commnissioners like
the situation any better than the
other taxI payers. Rising prices
over the past few months dictates
action be taken to provide more
money, however..


On top of the huge increases
being asked for by department
heads (and we feel some of them
are entirely out of line for their
requests and should be reprimand-
ed by their employers for making
such requests) there is the matter
of ambulance service which must
be financed by the, County during
the coming budget year. Let us
clarify this statement--the County
must finance it or the County must
do without ambulance service.
.Each member' of the County
Commission asked for their job
and, along with it, the duty to see
that a fair budget is drawn up, so
we won't try to do it for them.
However, it seems to us it would be
the prudent thing to do to combine
some of the smalleirs'ffices, such as
Civil Defense and Veterans Service
Office in order to reduce expenses.
These, ar,-.only' examples., of
course" t.ihere,- are. other areas
where a cutting back could be put
into.force with no ill effects on the
county.
Again, we can recognize the
need for an increase, but please,
boys, keep it as small as possible.


Women Candidates


At least there's something dif-
ferent about this. year's election
campaign. For the first time we
can remember, women have be-
come candidates for offices nor-
mally held by men.
The last time we can remem-
ber more than one woman in a
campaign was when Mrs. C. G.
Rish retired from her Supervisor of
Elections job and two women ran
for the office. Of course, that was
back when the job paid about $3,000


a year. Now that it pays $12,000,
there will probably be a man or
two in that race next time.
Ladies serving in office in Gulf
County is-nothing new. We had that
experience before Women's Lib
was even a gleam in the eye of
Germaine Greer, but it isn't the
usual thing for us to have two
women seeking election during the
same campaign.
It should make things interest-
ing.


Impartial Decision


"Voices Low, Eyes Damp After
Impeachment Vote", said a head-
line in the daily press Sunday.
They well should be. While we
recognize that the Judiciary Com-
mittee findings are merely a find-
ing that, in their opinion, there is
cause enough to look further, it
seems sort of undemocratic to
charge a person-even a President
of the United States-with general-
ities. The Government should have
been as stern with Al Capone when
he was engaged in criminal activi-


ties, rather than wait until he had
cheated on his income tax on a
specific year.
Chairman Rodiri: tried to justi-
fy the tone of the hearing by
pointing out it was entirely un-
biased, with several Republicans
voting against the President. Had
several of the Democrats voted in
favor of the president, we may
have been inclined to believe
Chairman Rodino in his claim that
the decision was entirely impartial
and non-political.

Cool It

for Safe

Driving

'. TALLAHASSEE-A c :eel
' engine and a cool head can
mean safer driving in sum-
mer heat the Florida High-
way Patrol told motorists to-
day.
Colonel Eldrige Beach,
director of the Florida High-
way Patrol said, "Hot sum-
mer weather combined with
a defective cooling system
can cause many problems.
An over-heated car engine
can stall easily in heavy traf-
fic and might result in an
accident."
The Patrol Commander
urged drivers to have radia-
tors, radiator hoses and con-
nections checked frequently
for leaks by a qualified
mechanic. Unless your car is
almost new or these parts
have been replaced recently,
it would be advisable to in-
stall all new water hoses,
belts for fan, alternator,
power steering,, air condition-
ing, etc., before leaving on a
long trip. These parts have a
habit of breaking down when
you are a long way from
help.
"Hot weather can also
cause tempers to explode,"
said Beach and he warned
motorists to take rest stops
when they feel irritated or
tired.

Port St. Joe. Florida 32456

Dear Mr. Ramsey:
Your June 27 editorial
queried "What Is the DOT
Doing?" This is a question I
would like to answer.
The DOT is doing what no
householder or businessman
would attempt to do in this
period of skyrocketing infla-
tion. We are being forced to
perform increased services
on a 1942 income.
Our sole major source of
revenue remains.the same as

mind you to stir into flame

it was in 1942, the primary
gas tax, the first four cents of
the eight cent state gas tax
on each gallon of gasoline.
Other things have changed
greatly since 1942. Florida's
population has more than
tripled: large urban areas
have developed /with their
many traffic problems; an
interstate system has been
created: environmental, eco-
logical and social considera-
tions have increased the cost
of constructing and maintain-
ing transportation facilities.
Wages have increased in all
segments of our economy;
DOT now is responsible for
mass transit facilities.
The fuel shortage has de-
creased gas tax collections
far below projections based
on the state's historical level
of increases. The same short-
age of gasoline has resulted
in shortages and skyrocket-
ing prices of other petro-
chemicals, many of them
vital to highway construction
and maintenance.
All these many factors
place severe financial pres-
sures on the Department,
financial pressures which
have forced us to prioritorize
all our work, to attempt less
expensive solutions to pro-
blems, to delay work not nec-
essary for the actual safety
of Florida's travelling public.
Repairs on the Highland
View Bridge were attempted
before a major overhaul of
the electrical system was
authorized in an economy


measure. Roadside mainte-
nance has been greatly de-
creased in an effort to save
both money and gasoline.
None of that "very hefty
tax bill" which Floridians
pay annually is received by
this Department, with the ex-
ceptionr of one-half the state
gasoline tax paid by each
citizenv7'
'And- this is a very small
part oofthe operating cost for
his automobile. The latest
figures., released by the Fed-
eral Highway Administration,
say the average cost of oper-
ating a standard automobile
is 15.9 cents per mile. Of that
total," 1.5 cents represents
state and federal taxes. Of
these taxes,, the Florida DOT
receives less than one-third.
On a compact size car, total
federal and state taxes are
1.2 cents of an average oper-
ating cost per mile of 12.9
cents.
"What Is the DOT Doing?"
Frankly, sir, each of us in
DOT, working together as a
team, is attempting to pro-
vide the vital services for the
travelling public on a tax
base which is woefully inade-
quate to perform the job.
We're trying to meet 1974's
transportation needs on a
1942 funding base.
The efforts of your City of
Port St. Joe in helping us to
perform this task by assisting
in maintaining sidewalks
adjacent to U. S. 98 are
greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,


We all like to read things we can identify
with and the other day Sidney J. Harris had a
column entitled, "Trivia Sticks In His Mind"
which brought to me painfully a full realization
of my own problem (or, at least one of them).
Harris was miffed with himself because he
could remember such things as the name of
Elmo Tanner who did the whistling for the old
Ted Weems Orchestra years back and couldn't
remember where he parked his car yesterday.

THAT'S MY PROBLEM (one of them). I
can't remember things--especially names. It
gets downright embarrassing to walk down the
street and meet someone I have known and had
regular contact with for the past 20 years and
not be able to recall their name until I have
passed them by. It bothers me.
It bothered me so much I even spent
$165.00 to take a Dale Carnegie course in order
to improve my memory and succeeded only in
remembering that the course cost me $165.00
and that Floyd Folkner of Tallahassee was the
franchise operator of the course. See, I can
remember his name and will probably never
have need for that name again. On the other
hand, recently at Rotary Club I introduced a
guest I had taken to the club to Bill Simmons
and I introduced Bill Simmons as Bill Winters.
I have known Bill (and his name) for 20 years,
but that darn memory wouldn't allow me to
call his name properly. On the other hand Bill
Winters has not lived in Port St. Joe for several
years.

ANOTHER AREA in which my memory
pays me off with embarrassment is in remem-
bering my automobile tag number. When I get
gas, I like to get out of the car and go in the
station to see who's there saying what and to
keep the attendant from having to bring the
credit card back out to the car to be signed.
This makes it easier on the attendant who has
to walk enough each day as it is, without me


Green 'N

"M 'Grassy


By Mike Beaudoin


The biggest booming
business in America today is
the credit card hysteria
which is growing so fast the
card makers can hardly
keep up with it.
Instead of diminishing as
once predicted, the credit
card business is going great
guns.
For those of you who don't
know what they are (silly
statement) credit cards are
those little plastic, wallet-
sized things which you use
instead of cash. You can use
them to pay for just about
anything from a meal to a
trip around the world.
Actually there are cards
which you can use to send
telegrams, make telephone
calls, fly anywhere, rent a
car and buy gas from 19
different stations.
One of the cards allows
charges at any one of more
than 100 stores and another
is good for charges at night
clubs, restaurants and
hotels.
There's another card with
a magnetic key which opens
the door to a private club in
which all you have to do is
sign again for root beer and
whatever.
Soon, according to
predictions, there will be
credit cards for little things,
like a package of cigarettes
or a soft drink. They'll
operate on the magnetic
principle when inserted in
the coin slot and a computer


Mrs. Terry B. Graham
Information Office

Dear Editor:
I am very much disappoint-
ed in our Sheriff inasmuch as
he has been very negligent in
his duty to the public.
He allowed a desperate
criminal to escape his cus-
tody. It was rumored that a
house was broken into and
guns and some clothing were
taken. This happened shortly
after the escape.
He has failed to inform the
public that the criminal was
considered armed and dan-
gerous. There was nothing on
the local radio station to


inside will charge it to your
account.
Grocery stores, which are
so old-fashioned they still
take cash, are going to have
to get into the swing of
things. I predict the day will
come when they'll just total
up the tally by computer as
you take the items from the
shelf and you can walk on
without going through a
checkout line.
Finally the monthly
paycheck will soon by passe.
Why bother anyway? Just
have the company you work
for give you a card with a
bunch of little holes punched
in it. You take this card
home with you, run it
through your home com-
puter and it automatically
pays all the bills you've run
up on the other credit cards.
It sounds so simple it's
surprising that no one has
thought of it before.
Oh, yes, if by chance
things go wrong and you
must have some cash,
there's another credit card
which allows you to cash a
check anywhere.
And, if you get in a
financial bind, there's still
another card with which you
can automatically get a bank
loan up to $5,000.
What happens when your
bills pile up and you've used
your maximum credit on
loans? Simple. By that time,
surely someone will devise
still another credit card to
handle the situation.


indicate the criminal was
armed and dangerous.
I called WJOE and was
informed that the Sheriff's
office would not release the
information to the radio sta-
tion.
I called the Sheriff's office
for information on the subject
and was informed that he
was considered armed and
dangerous.
Why doesn't the Sheriff
report this type of informa-
tion to WJOE so the public
can be informed?
Sincerely,

adding to those miles he trods.
It's easier, that is, until he asks me'the
question, "Do you happen to know your tag
number?" Of course I didn't so the attendant
has to go outside to get the number and I
haven't saved him a step or two after all.
I set about to remedy that by taking a
crash course of memorizing my tag number.
After about six months of arduous schooling of
my brain, I had 66WW106 committed to
unforgettable posterity. I have trouble remem-
bering if my post office box number is 308 and
the office address 306 Williams Avenue, or is it
the other way around? After nearly 22 years of
coming to work at the same place, I have
learned the way to the office well enough not to
need the address to find the right door and I
get the mail only occasionally.
Last week, I bought my new automobile
tag and it had a new number. I was
apprehensive about having to go through the
process of memorizing the new number again,
when, lo and behold, an examination of the new
tag showed my number to be 66WW107! Just
one more digit than the old one. How's that for
convenience? Now I just have to remember the
old number already memorized and just
remember to add one number for the extra
year and I'm in business.
That problem's solved.

ANOTHER MEMORY PROBLEM is re-
membering the age of each of my six kids and'
when their birthday comes around. At times I
forget my own birthday and each year for the'
last 15 years, that auspicious day has been
harder and harder to remember. The people
over at the Guidance Clinic would probably tell
me I was unconsciously trying to forget that
another year had rolled around.
They say confession is good for the soul
and I must admit that they would probably be
right.

retary of State in Tallahassee

County Court.
Hargraves was a candidate
for the office in the 1972
primary along with Frank
Pate and the late Sam P.
Husband. After the untimely
death of Judge Husband,
Hargraves also applied for
the interim .appointment to
the office but the appoint-
ment was given to a Port St.
Joe lawyer who had been the

our people today is for good
law and order and for fair


and equal recourse to the
Courts. He pledges that, if
elected, he will do everything
within the power of the office
to insure good law and order
and fair and equal justice for
everyone. He also pledges
that the doors of his office
will always be open to render
any assistance which he can
provide.
Hargraves, 50, came to
Port St. Joe in 1955 as Chief
Chemist "for St. Joe Paper
Company. He resides at St.
Joe Beach with his wife,
Charline, and son, Charles.
He was reared in Ware Coun-
ty, Georgia, and attended
public schools there. He is a
member of the Methodist
,Church, the Masons, arid var-
iou. other organizations.
During World War II he
served three years in the
Army Air Force. Prior to
World War II he attended
Martha Berry College, Rome,
Ga. After the War, he attend-
ed and received a B.S. De-
gree in Chemical Engineer-
ing from Georgia Institute of
Technology, Atlanta, Ga.
His main hobbies are hunt-
ing and fishing and he is a
staunch supporter of legal
conservation of wildlife and
preservation of natural re-
sources.
He says that even though
he trained as an engineer, he
has always loved the study of
law and took every available

Working people under 72
who are getting social secur-
ity payments should report
any changes in their 1974
earnings estimates as soon as
possible, according to David
P. Robinson. Social Security
Field Representative for Gulf
County.
"Social security payments
to people 72 and over aren't
affected by their earnings,"
Robinson noted. "But earn-
ings can affect payments to
people under 72. They should
report any change in their
work or earnings on the post
card sent to all people-who
work and get social security
checks."
If the post card is lost, the
report can be taken care of
by a visit or phone call to any
social security office, he said.
The Panama City social
security office is located at
1316 Harrison Avenue. The
phone number is 769-4871.
People who find they are
earning less than they origi-
nally estimated may get ad-
ditional social security pay-
ments during 1974 if they
report the change, according
to Robinson. "But people
earning more than they ori-
ginally estimated who don't
report the. change may get
social security payments not
due them and have to pay
back some money at the end
of the year." he said.
Social security payments
are not affected by earnings
of $2,400 or less for the year.


Payments are reduced $1 for
each $2 earned over $2,400.

"But no matter how much
people earn in a year," Rob-
inson said, "they can get
their full social security pay-
ment for any month they
neither earn over $200 nor do
substantial work in their own
business."

DeWitt then came to bat and
hit his first of three homers
in the game. Chuck Pollock
slammed the Saints' fifth
homer of the game.
Port St. Joe had a'total of
13 hits.
Gordon Brown started on
the mound and gave up one
hit. He walked thrqe men in
succession in the second and
was lifted for Chuck Pollock
who finished the game. Pol-
lock gave up two hits, four
walks and struck out five.
DISTRICT PLAY
This week, the Saints are in
Gaceville in the District
Tournament. They won their
opener Monday night, defeat-
ing Graceville, 8-7.
Again it was the big home
run ball which made the
difference. Steve Hughes,
Mark Scott, Charles Gaithers
and Gordon Brown each hit a
round tripper. The Saints
combined their 13 hits with
Pollock's pitching to take the
game from Graceville.

The Saints were scheduled
to play again last night, when
they were to meet the winner
of the Grace-ville-Vernon
game played Tuesday night.

to Save On Expenses


The grass is not only green-
er-but longer--on the side of
the road.
Florida motorists may
notice a decrease in roadside
mowing this year as the
Florida Department of Trans-


portation reduces routine
maintenance tasks, in an
effort to save fuel, manpower
and money.
Following the direction of
Governor Reubin Askew tha:
all state agencies reduce


energy consumption by 20 per
cent. DOT Crews have set a
goal of 80 per cent fuel usage
compared to use in the pre-
vious year.
Actual reductions have
ranged from less than
one per cent to more than 34
per cent. depending on area
variations in weather condi-
tions. growth, etc.
DOT crews will continue
mowing to prevent potential
hazards where roads-ide
growth could interfere with
driver vision. However, in
areas where no such problem
exists, minimum mowing will
be performed.
The minimal mowing pol-
icy is in keeping with new
D)OT policy encouraging nat-
ural revegetation of roadside
areas with decreased road-
side maintenance operations.
In addition to saving gaso-


line. reduction in mowing
also permits DOT mainte-
nance crews to perform work
of higher priority.
Performing maintenance
and construction work on a
strictly priority basis will
become more essential for
DOT as material and labor
costs continue to mount while
gas tax collections fail far
below revenue projections.

Wewa Methodists
Plan Box Supper

The First United Methodist
Church of Wewahitchka will
conduct a boxed lunch auc-
tion at 8 p.m.. E.S.T.. Satur-

Vacation Bible School at
Faith Bible Church has been
set for the week of August 5 -
9. The classes will be held
between 9:00 and 11:30 a.m.
on each morning, and will
involve children who have
just completed kindergarten
through sixth grade in school.
The theme for this year's
V.B.S. is "Lost and Found."
The children will enjoy a
time of Bible lessons, singing,
missionary emphasis, hand-
craft activity, refreshments
and recreation. An offering
will be taken each day which
will be applied in its entirety
toward the work of Mr. and
Mrs. Chuck Burton in West
Pakistan. The weed will end
on Friday with a picnic for
the children on the church
grounds.

TALLAHASSEE Thus
far we have only described
the can buoy, and what types
of can buoys you will be
seeing. The three can buoys
are very important to
navigation as. you will
probably see more of this
type buoy than of the nun,
spar, or lighted buoy. Keep
in mind the can buoy always
has uneven numbers, when
numbered, and usually
marks the left side of the
channel, as you return from
sea; except the can buoy
painted red and black. This
buoy will mark the junction
of two channels.
The nun buoy is next, and
so called because of its
shape. Further description
would be similar in shape to
an ice cream cone cup
turned open end down on top
of a beverage can. Most of
these buoys will be solid red
and have white even num-
bers on them, example, 2, 4,
6, 8, 10 and etc. Nun buoys
are almost always used to
mark the right side of a
channel, as you return from
sea. Other nun buoys may be
painted with red and black
stripes. Like striped can
buoys, these buoys also
mark channel junctions.
The lighted buoy may have
any of the aforementioned
colorings, which define its
meaning. It has a light at the
uppermost point, most often
a radar reflector, and either
a bell, gong, or a whistle.
The sound, light and radar
reflector, makes this buoy
more easily located in time
of low visibility. The lighted
buoy can either be built of

area to come and enjoy this
week of V.B.S. If one should
desire further information,
please call 229-6707.



Pony

League

Loses

Port St. Joe's Pony League
lost out in their bid for a
state championship last Wed-
nesday night in Lakeland.
Port St. Joe lost, 13-7 to
Winter Haven in the double
elimination tournament. They
had lost last Monday night to
Pensacola.
Craig Weimorts and Wade
Stoutamire were on the
mound for Port St. Joe giving
up six hits and eight walks.
Port St. Joe committed five
errors and had seven hits.


Natural Resources


steel shafting on a float
anchored to the bottom by
chain, or stationary on
erected pilings. This depends
upon 'he depth of the water
at the needed location, but at
all times the lighted buoy
extends several feet above
mean high water. Lighted
buoy solid black with an odd
number, marks the left side
of a channel -. red and
black, center, and red with
even numbers are on the
right side of a channel.
Next we have the Spar
buoy. Its shape is similar to
an ice cream cone inverted
with the pointed end cut
approximately one third off
down the cone from the
point. The spar buoy is
always red with even
numbers, or black with odd
numbers. These buoys are
used to mark the'middle of a
channel and are sometimes
found marking obstructions.
You may wonder why it is
necessary to mark the
middle of a channel when it
is marked on each side. The
answer; some channels are
miles wide.
Now that we have learned
buoys are, in effect floating
sign posts for the boatman,
we must learn to recognize
their appearance and identi-
fication immediately, if we
are to be a safe boatman.
Another very important
point toq remember is, a buoy
is placed and its identifying
characteristics are chosen to
mark the safe channel as if
entering from the sea. Many
skippers remember this rule
by memorizing the three R's,
or red right return.

TALLAHASSEE-The
Seminoles call it Pa-hay-okee.
French, Spanish and Por-
tuguese explorers treked
through it during Florida's
early history. And it is the
only one of its kind in the
world. Pa-hay-okee is, of
course, the Everglades, that
unique piece of nature's work
encompassing the entire
southern end of this peninsu-
la.
The Everglades is not a
thick swamp of trees covered
with moss and climbing vines
as commonly believed, but an
endless spanse of shoulder-
high grass through which
millions of gallons of fresh
water flow southward daily
from Lake Okeechobee to the
sea. Dotted throughout this

clear, shallow marsh land are
palm tree and cypress ham-
mocks, high ground islands
where early Indians planted
their crops and where today
many of America's .vanishing
species find home. It is a
wilderness that can only be
appreciated in the crucible of
experience.
It is a place where a
carefully appraising eye will
spot the Everglades Mink
rummaging near a 'gator hole'
for a quick drink and perhaps
a tasty morsel or two for
dinner. It is a place where a
somewhat sharp and incisive
eat" will hear the shrill call of
the Everglades Kite bringing
home a delicately plump snail
for its hungry young. It is an
untamed place where hunters,
fishermen, campers, bird
watchers and school kids on
field trips can come and en-
joy a bit of the outdoors.
Yet, for all its beauty, it is
a place over which a prevail-
ing sentiment of uneasy dis-
content looms. There are
many sections of south Flor-
ida sore beset by the
pressures of temptation to
make a buck now and let
someone else worry what
happens later. That pressure
lies squarely on the un-
developed areas west of
metropolitan Miami-the
Everglades. We cannot stand
by and see wildlife sacrificed
to that futile sort of tread-
mill. Nor can we permit Flor-
ida to be startled into
perilous activity when it
wakes up one morning to find
its wilderness vanishing into
the gray reflections of con-
crete.
For many years, this re-
mote area of Florida was
accessible only by the airboat
or halftrack or swamp buggy.
It was a natural resource used
only by the frogger and deer
hunter and bass fisherman.
But, as south Florida's
growth mushroomed and the
demand for space edged ever
'westward,. the Everglades
soon took on a more mean-

ingful value as prime develop-
ment land. However, sports-
men, legislators, and con-
cerned citizens alike saw a
different potential in this
one-of-a-kind territory, as a
multi-use recreational area, a
much-needed ingredient in
the melting pot of the Gold
Coast with its million-plus
residents.
This grass-roots movement
soon developed into force
and helped to create the
Everglades Recreational Plan-
ning Board. Their re-
sponsibility is to plan, pro-
vide, and supervise the multi-
use recreational activities
within a 900-square mile area
of the "River of Grass."
Campsites, boat ramps,, and
nature trails are all part of the
five-year plan to bring the
people closer to the outdoors
and provide new oppor-
tunities for them to see a part
of Florida unlike anywhere
else.
Creation of this Board em-
phasizes one important fact.
Faced with a growing short-
age of land for recreational
use, the people of south Flor-
ida realized their problem and
did something constructive
about it.

Dr. Richard Morley an-
nounced this week that an
agreement had been reached
with the Gulf County School
Board to provide for the oper-
ation of school buses from
Port St. Joe and Wewahitch-
ka to Gulf Coast Community
College this fall. A 30-passen-
ger bus will service Wewa-
hitchka and a 66-passenger
bus will service Port St. Joe.
The bus from Port St. Joe
will leave Port St. Joe High
School each morning at 8:30
a.m. (CST) and the bus from
Wewahitchka will leave the
Wewahitchka High School at
8:00 a.m. The buses will
arrive in time for the 9:00
a.m. (CST) class on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday and
for the 9:30 classes on Tues-
day and Thursday.
The buses will depart the
Gulf Coast campus at 3:15
p.m. each day. A bus driver
will be needed for each bus.
The student selected as
driver will receive free tui-
tion. Students interested in
applying for the job should
make application at the Gulf
County School Board in the
Gulf County Courthouse.
Dr. Morley stated that the
buses will answer a long felt
need and will enable many
more students to take advan-
tage of the opportunities at

Gulf Coast. He said Stiperin-
tendent of Schools David Bid-
well and other School Board
members have worked long
and hard to bring about the
realization of this dream.
It is h6ped that a majority
of students from Gulf County
will ride the buses. In addi-
tion to saving thousands of
gallons of gas it will enable
the students to get to college
in the safest possible manner.
Both buses will make stops at
points along the way into the
college. The exact schedule
of stops will be published in
the near future.
Anyone desiring additional
information on the buses
should contact Superinten-
