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 Bryan of St. Petersburg and Mrs. Amy Tapper of Port St. Joe; four grandchildren and four great grandchildren. A brother, J. B.

His name cannot be released because of his age. "We believe Neal has left .almost immediately leaves the scene of his escape," Sheriff Lawrence stated.

Raffield Arrested Again On Grand Jury Action Leveral "Sparky" Raffied, convicted in Gulf County Cir- cuit Court recently in con- nection with the millions of dollars worth of marijuana confiscated at his farm at Overstreet on Christmas Eve has been arrested again. He and his wife, Madeline were arrested on additional charges of felony possession of marijuana and conspiracy to possess marijuana, accord- ing to Gulf County Sheriff Raymond Lawrence. Last Thursday night, the Statewide Grand Jury return- ed sealed indictments in Tampa, and Raffield and his wife were two of the dozen named. Friday afternoon, Special McCall, Rock Hill, S.C., Mrs. Georgia Thorne, Charlotte, N. C. -and Mrs. Emily Rae Brown, Atlanta, Ga. Services were held Tues- day, July 30 at 10:00 a.m. at the First United Methodist Church with Rev. Johnie W. McCurdy officiating, assisted by Rev. Millard Spikes. Inter- ment followed in the family plot at Holly Hill Cemetery. All funeral arrangements were under the direction of Comforter Funeral Home of Port St. Joe. 18-Year-Olds Must Still Sign Up Sammy Patrick, registra- tion officer, reminds all young men who have just turned 18 and will be 18 soon, that they must register 30 days before or after their 18th birthday. You may register at Mr. Patrjck's office in the Gulf Couf!ty Courthouse, Monday through Friday. Agent Dallas Herring of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and Sgt. Tom Berlinger of the Sheriff's Of- fice arrested the pair at their home. Mrs. Raffield was im- mediately released after posting a $5,000 surety bond. Mr. Raffield chose not to make bond, as he is coming up for sentencing today, Aug- ust 1, before Judge Larry Smith on his two prior charges. He is currently held in the Gulf County Jail under $25,000 bond.

"It all depends on the outcome of the Sheriff's budget," Gates said. "This IS isn't to say nobody will pay S more taxes next year. With revaluation presently in S progress, some may pay U more and others less, but the total tax collection r fIn M should be about the same I lrm as last year."

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.

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. Driver License Office Open 5 Days Weekly The Division of Driver's Licenses local office in the Gulf County Courthouse is now open five days a week, Monday through Friday, from nine a.m. to five p.m., announced K. D. Corbin, Supervisor for this area. Those who need to renew their drivers' license are urged not to wait until the last day of their birth month to come in. The examiner assigned to the Gulf County office is Mrs. Debbie Berlinger. For more information concerning the new hours call 229-6213. ACI Escapee Surrenders Here A prisoner who escaped from the Apalachee Correc- tional Institute in Sneads last December, turned himself in to Sheriff Raymond Law- rence Mondp4 at noontime. Jerry Gay, age 28, was convicted of armed robbery, after he held up the Down- town Theater in Panama City last year, was serving a six month to five year sentence. Species ETAOIN SHRDLU- by WESLEY R. RAMSEY 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.

Varsity players may take their physical at the Health Clinic on August 1, 8 or 15 at 8:30 a.m., or see a private physician. Junior high players, 7th, 8th and 9th graders may take their physical August 15, 22 or 29 at 8:30 a.m. at the Health Clinic,, or see a pri- vate physician. Turner Sets Visit Here Glenn W. Turner, Demo- cratic candidate for the U. S. Senate, will be in Port St. Joe Saturday for a hand shaking tour. Turner will be in downtown Port St. Joe from 10:00 to 10:30 a.m. The candidate is swinging through the state in his red, white and blue motor home, equipped especially for his campaign. He believes that his harelip and eighth grade education are assets instead of handicaps, apd ,t at it's time we elected men who . want the people to run our country instead of a mass of bureaucrats who care only for themselves. Turner invites everyone to meet him and let him hear their views. Letters .. to the Editor W. R. Ramsey, Publisher Port St. Joe Star Port St. Joe. Florida 32456 July 22. 1974 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 THOUGHT From The Living Bible This being so, 1I want to re. mind you to stir into flame the strength and boldness that is in you. that entered into you when I laid my' hands upon your head and blessed you. For the Holy Spirit, God's gift. does not want you to be afraid of people, but to be wise and str6hi.:an.d tov'lc'e them and enifj b ieri g wtit Ii' 1''1. If yO I w ill r 'tr up l) hner power, ou will never be afraid to'telf others about our. Lord,. or to let them know thai I anm your friend even though I am here in jail for Christ's sake. I/ Tinithl" 1.6--8 Rctliiious Heritac oft' Aimerica 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, CLYDE M. MELVIN P. 0. Box 824 Port St. Joe, Fla. 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. ir The Port St. Joe High School Sharkettes recently participated in the Valdosta State College Twirling Camp in Valdosta, Ga.

HARGRAVES At L. "A-l" Hargraves-has again qualified with the Sec- retary of State in Tallahassee to run for Judge of the Gulf 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 Governor's local campaign manager. Hargraves believes one of the most pressing concerns of 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 Contest. Mary Dell Adkison, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clio "Cannonball" Adkison, placed in the top ten; and Angela Harvey, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clennis Harvey placed in the top five.

PHONE 227-3201 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." Creamer Taking Training Midshipman Robert L. Creamer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. Creamer, Sr. of Port St. Joe, is one of 600 Naval Academy midshipmen taking part in a special eight- week summer training pro- gram aboard the U. S.

The purpose of the training is to give students practical shipboard experience relating directly to their regular classes in naval command and management. Exercises and competitions are being conducted between Atlantic Fleet ships for the benefit of the midshipmen. He will begin his sopho- more year at the Academy in September.

Suitable plants are practi- cally unlimited. Foliage plants such as palms, bam- boo and philodendrons, etc. make excellent container plants but don't omit flower- ing plants like annuals, per- ennials and bulbs. Herbs, hanging .basket plants, ferns and fruit trees are other choices. Also try flowering shrubs and trees like azaleas, bougainvillea, crepe myrtle, gardenias, roses and others.

C. 29201 Ph. 803-252-9734 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.

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 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 come to the children of the 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.

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.

BROCK, City Auditor and Clerk 2t 7-25 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- In Summer Play Program 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.

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 FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Corner Third Street and Baltzell Avenue REV.

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- dent David Bidwell at the Gulf County School Board or Dean Frank Eiseman at Gulf Coast Community College.
