15 Cents Per Copy


The largest cash judgment
ever rendered in Gulf County
for personal injury was
handed down last week by
U. S. District Judge David
Middlebrooks in favor of
John A. Bell of Port St. Joe,

for Bridge

Work Bids

Representative William J.
Rish told The Star this week
that bids will be returned
August 22 on two major high-
way improvement projects on,
State Road 30-A.
Rish said the Department,
of Transportation has adver-
tised for replacement of the
old wooden bridges on the.
highway at Simmons Bayou
and Money Bayou with con-
crete structures. The project
has been in the making for
better than a year, but right-
of-way problems have delay-
ed the improvements until
now.
Construction on the two
bridges should begin shortly
after the bids are returned
two weeks from today.


in the amount of $129,618.48.
Judge Middlebrooks ruled
against the United States of
America in the suit which
involved an automobile ac-
cident July 18, 1969 in which
Bell was totally paralyzed
,from the waist down.
Bell received his injuries
on the Cape San Bias Road
while he was on'the way to
work at the Coast Guard
Station. His car hit pot holes
in the road and overturned,
severing his spinal cord. The
suit was filed against the
State of Florida and the
United States, but the State
of Florida was immune from
suit.
In the course of the trial
it was determined that Bell
was driving at about 50 miles
per hour when the accident
occurred, but that condition
of the road would not allow
safe speeds of up to 50 miles
per hour. The ruling was that
responsibility was equally di-
vided between the State of
Florida, the United States
and Bell. Since the State
could not be sued, Bell re-
covered only one third of the
damages which were set at
$388,855.45.
The case was tried in U. S.
District Court in Marianna.
Local attorney Cecil G. Cos-
tin, Jr., represented, Bell.

Adopts

New Bus

Rulings
The Gulf County School
Board adopted its first set of
riles and regulations govern-
ing operation and use of the
school buses Tuesday morn-
ing. Set out in the new set of
rules and regulations are pay
schedules for drivers, ap-
proved use of the buses and
qualification of the drivers.
The Board also set up a
system of approving bus dri-
vers after certain examina-
tions, tests and qualifications
are met. Only these drivers
will be approved by the
Board for operation of the
buses.
The plan was presented to
the Board by Shoupe Howell,

Half Million More for Schools


Local Tax Bill


Sees Reduction


School Board Ponders Half Million Dollar Budget Increase
Herman Ard, William Roemer, Kenneth Whitfield, David Bidwell, Cecil Costin, Jr. and Gene Raffield.


The Gulf County School
Board tentatively set their
new budget Tuesday morning
which reflects a decrease in
local tax dollars to finance,
but which is $578,000 more
than last year's budget.
In fiscal 1974-74, the School
Board is planning a total
/ budget of ,$3,278,000.00. Last
- year's total budget was $2,-
700,000.00. Most of the in-
crease is in the lunch room
item. Last year, the Board
was notrequired to_ include
.\j. all lunch room income or
expense in its budget. This
year they must include every
dollar used in the operation.
The lunch room budget is
$305,000.00; $250,000 more
. than was required to be re-
m ported in the budget last
year. This amounts to nearly
half of the total increase

City Starts Search for Financing to



Improve Its Water and Sewer Services


The City of Port St. Joe
took the second step Tuesday
night, toward improving and
expanding its water distribu-
tion and treatment system
and its sewage collection sys-
tem. The Board plans to
replace all troublesome sew-
age collection mains, replace,
repair and add to the present
lift stations, and expand sew-
er collection service-per-
haps even into Oak Grove, if
they can get proper financ-
ing. Tentative plans are also
to extend water service to,
Oak Grove. This plan hinges
on whether or not the County
will permit, if Oak Grove
citizens will subscribe in suf-
ficient numbers and if the
City can afford the bill.
The second step taken
Tuesday was to begin ar-
rangements for the financing.
Two representatives of the
farmers' Home Administra-
tion, Bill Weathers and Gene
Pittman, were at the meeting
to explain what the City
.would have to do in order to
qualify for a five percent loan
with the Government agency.
Weathers, who acted as
spokesman for the FHA offi-
cials, said three things are
necessary for a city to quali-
fy for the loan: it must be
less than 10,000 in population,
unable to get adequate credit
from private lending agenc-
ies and the project must,be
feasible.
Of course, the community
receiving the loan must be
able to repay, too. The City is
in such a position since it
owes only one bond issue-
that against the Municipal
Hospital expansion which is
nearly paid off.
Weathers said it was prac-
tically impossible to get
one of the highest paid areas
in Florida. "You're too rich
to receive a grant" he said.
Weathers told the City to


get their engineers' reports
on the project and make an
application. He said it could
be approved or rejected in no
more than 30 days time.
The Board will meet Mon-
day afternoon next week to
go over the engineers' report
and will then make an appli-
cation for financing.
PETITION
The Board was presented
with a petition containing 553
names Tuesday night, re-.
questing clean-up work at
Holly Hill Cemetery. The pe-
tition asked for shrubbery
planting, cleaning up the
area and keeping the grass
cut.
The Board felt it had no
right to bother occupied lots,
even to clean them up, but
realized they had a respon-
sibility to keep the vacant
spaces and the area around
the fence clean and present-
able. They agreed to pay
more attention to the appear-
ance of the cemetery in the
future.
LEASH LAW
The proposed leash law
hasn't been .forgotten, with a
draft presented to the meet-
ing to amend the present
ordinance to require animals
to be kept up by their owners.

The change in the law, will
require all animals to be kept


up or they will be impounded.
If impounded, an attempt will
be made to locate the owner.
If the animal isn't claimed in
five days he will be destroy-
ed. Owners must pay $2.00
for each day of impoundment
to retrieve their animals.
The ordinance will also be
changed to make provisions
for animals which haven't
been immunized for rabies.
Even if a pet is kept up, he
will be required to have the
rabies vaccination under the


new plan..
OTHER ACTION
In other action of the
Board, they:
-Heard' a report from
Clerk Charles Brock that it
was budget time and receiv-
ed a rough draft from Brock
to begin work on. The budget
will be tentatively drawn up
Monday afternoon. Clerk
Brock said it appeared as if
there would be an additional
$15 million in valuation of


taxable property on the rolls
and that approximately 5.3
mills would be needed for
financing-a reduction of
nearly two mills from last
year's budget.
-Agreed to send out no-
tices to those owning proper-
ty covered with debris and
put them on notice to clean
up. If the notice is ignored,
the City will perform the
clean up chores and take out
a lien against the property.
involved.


Volunteers Asked to Step


Forth for Ambulance Service


Gulf County will be getting into the
ambulance service within the next two
months, in order to satisfy state require-
ments now in effect for these emergency
services.
Gulf County has chosen to operate their
two ambulance vehicles with a volunteer
force and are in the process of setting up
training schools for those who volunteer to
help with the activity. Basic first aid will be
the first course offered, along with defensive
driving instruction. Following this course,
advanced first aid will be provided and then
Emergency Medical Technician training. All
levels of training can be used in the service.
Now the county is in the process of
recruiting the volunteer force which will


man the vehicles. Both males and females
can be utilized in the volunteer corps. There
will be no expense and no pay involved for
the volunteers. Those wishing to become a
part of this emergency service may sign up
now with the office of George Y. Core, Clerk
of the Court or the office of Sheriff Raymond
Lawrence.
Announcement will be made, probably
next week, as to when and where the first
aid course will be taught.
Under the new law, the county must
maintain ambulance vehicles and crews in
both Port St. Joe and Wewahitchka. It's
anticipated that about 60 volunteers will be
needed for the project.


* Overall, an increase of a
little more than 10 percent is
reflected in the new budget
over the old. The largest
increase is in salaries. Ad-
ministration costs are up $9,-
000.00 over last year to $120,-
624.51. Instructional salaries
have been increased lby $211,-
000.00 to $1,655,000.00. Other
expenditures for instruction
were increased by $75,400.00
to $270,038.00. Pupil transpor-
tation costs went up $40,500.00
to $125,000.00. Fixed charges
are up $115,000 to $298,500.00.
Other budget items include
$4,000 for health services,
$39,000 for capital outlay and
$64,553.07 for reserves. The
budget for servicing the
school's bonded indebtedness
was increased by $7,000.00 to
$614,265.98. A little over a
third of this budget is main-
tained as a balance year
after year under the terms of
the bonding agreement.
Capital improvements ex-
penditures were increased
from $157,147 last year to
$320,063.71.
TAXES DOWN
There's. no way of knowing
what the millage rate will be
for the year coming up. Pro-
.,perty valuations following a
sweeping re-evaluation of the
county have not yet been
released from the office of
Tax Assessor, Samuel A.
Patrick. While no official fig-
ure has been released, Pat-
rick has given a "ball park"
figure to the county govern-
ing bodies from which the
School Board has concluded
they will have an eight mill
levy for their proposed bud-
get. The thinking of the
Board is that it will be even
lower than that with the 1.2
debt service millage tacked
on top.
On the money side-income
which will be collected from
Gulf County tax payers-
there is slight relief in sight
for the tax payer. The tax
revenues needed for the new
budget are down $7,000.00
fronr last year.
The School Board's new
budget will require $600,-
400.00 in local taxes for fi-
nancing. The remainder will
come from the following
sources: State and Federal
receipts, $2,399,246.11, up
$720,000 over last year; $177,-
520.00 from other sources, up
$111,500 over last year and
cash carry-over of $101,689.-
93, $7,000.00 less than last
year.
PUBLIC HEARING
A public hearing will be
held on the new budget on
Friday, August 16 at. 1:00
p.m., in the Board meeting
room in the Gulf'. County
Courthouse. The School bud-
get runs from July 1 to June
30.


Local Port Tonnage Shows A
Slight Increase Over Last Year


The 1973 preliminary ton-
nage statistics for waterborne
commerce in the Mobile Dis-
trict of the U. S. Army Corps
of Engineers have been re-
leased. The statistics cover
traffic movements at ports
and the Gulf Intracoastal
Waterway.
Most ports in the Mobile
District showed an increase


in tonnage figures during
1973.
Figures released by the
Army Corps of Engineers
show that the harbor of Port
St. Joe had 669,131 tons in
1973; 530 tons over 1972's
668,601. Tonnage for the Gulf
County Canal decreased in
1973; 279,643 from the pre-
vious year's figure of 317,955.

Drinking F


The newly released Federal
report on alcohol and health is full
of bad news for America: heavy
drinkers are much more likely to
get cancer of the mouth or throat;
alcohol costs the country more than
$25 billion annually in the form of
lost work, auto accidents and med-
ical bills: and heavy drinking is
alarmingly on the rise among teen-
agers.
Citing a random sample of
10,000 junior and senior high school
.students-the largest sample ever
taken-the report says both the
frequency of drinking and the
amount consumed has skyrocketed
during the past three years, from
1970 to 1973. Usage among boys
increased from 50 to 77 percent:
among girls from 38 to 67 percent.
Dr. Morris E. Chafetz, Director
of the National Institute on Alcohol
Abuse and Alcoholism which re-
leased the report, noted that some
nations in which the populations
use alcohol widely do not exper-
ience similar alcoholic problems.
"In these societies, alcohol is typ-
ically consumed under clear, well-
defined guidelines, in a family or
relaxed social environment that
stands in sharp contrast to the

he Board scored what it
termed "sloppy block work"
on the new Vocational Educa-
tional center here in Port St.
Joe. The contractor had vol-
untarily painted the blocks in
order to improve their ap-
pearance, but still the Board
wasn't satisfied. They have
now required that he plaster
the block wall in order to
hide the un-even mortar
joints in the wall.
Superintendent David Bid-
well said he thought the
.center would be ready for use
by the time school started. A
small amount of wiring work
is still to be completed and
installation of equipment.

DENY REQUEST
The Board denied a request
of Margaret Biggs for extra
sick leave pay in her claim
she contracted a disease, in-
fluenza, while on the job
teaching. Mrs. Biggs, who
had used all her allowed sick
leave, had suffered from the
influenza during a local epi-
demic last February, missing
seven days of school. Her
claim was that she was ex-
posed at school where many
students were ill at the time,
and should be paid sick leave
for this reason. The Board
turned down the request be-
cause of the precedent it may
set.
The Board also denied a
request from Sylvia Costin
for reimbursement when the
principal of her school failed
to place her on tenure the
year it was due. She went on
tenure the following year.
The Board said it couldn't go
back and make the reim-
bursement.
In other business, the
Board:
-Allowed the transfer of
four children from Highland
View Elementary School to
Port St. Joe Elementary
School.
-Raised the travel al-
lowance from 10c per mile to
14c per mile.
-Provided for sick leave
for administrative personnel.


One of the big problems faced by Gulf
County from the standpoint of ecology and
services to people of the county, is the
continuation of the garbage land fill service as
they have conducted in the past. The land fill
method of getting rid of garbage has worked
very well for Gulf County and is probably
responsible for the decrease in pesky insects
bothering us in the summer time. Flies aren't
as bad as they once were and mosquitoes are
not quite so numerous.
But the day is coming when Gulf County
will have to eat its garbage or, haul it into the
ocean and dump it if they can get a permit to
do so. The state says the county must now use
pits which are above the mean water table- in
the area to be used for the pits or the perimeter
of the pit must be ringed with a ditch and the
seeping water pumped out by well point pumps
to keep the water table from picking up
impurities from our garbage. The alternative is
either do it or quit getting rid of garbage in
this manner.
WHAT ARE WE TO DO with our garbage?
Get an incinerator at a cost of nearly a half
million dollars just to burn our garbage and
trash? Surely the county:could afford only one
of these, if they can afford one. It will mean
that all garbage collected or disposed of in the
county would have to be hauled to the
incinerator. Too, the incinerator must have
large amounts of fuel to burn the trash and
garbage and the ash then hauled away and
buried.
This could prove to be very expensive.
I SAW IN the papers where Jasper, Indiana
has made garbage illegal. This might be an
answer for Gulf County. The Indiana city made
it illegal to put table scraps or food stuffs in the
garbage. Only trash, such as paper, household
debris, etc., is picked up by the city trash
collectors. If there is any garbage in the trash,
the collector refuses to pick it up.
How then, you ask, do they get rid of their


garbage. Simple;. nearly every home in town
has an under the sink garbage disposal unit
and the garbage is put in the disposal and goes
into the sewage collection system.
Jasper's unique garbage disposal system
started several years ago when an epidemic of
cholera swept through area hog pens. Jasper is
hog growing country, and farmers had con-
tracts with the city to get the garbage to feed
hogs. The cholera was traced to the household
garbage fed the hogs, so the law was passed
outlawing garbage.
A side.effect of the law is there is hardly a
house fly to be found in Jasper.
IT MAY BE a little drastic to outlaw
garbage as a means of solving a vexing
problem and off the top of our head, we may
say that outlawing garbage won't get rid of it.
But it did in Jasper and the people are happy
about the situation.
I don't know if such a solution would satisfy
the rulings of the Department of Pollution
Control insofar as operation of landfills is
concerned. If there is no garbage going into the*
dump,'could present land fill operations con-
tinue or must the new guidelines still be
applied?
In this part of the country where the water
table is just a couple of feet under the surface
of the ground, it may seem impossible to
secure acceptable land fill sites, and, indeed,
the County is having a vexing time of finding
land they can use for such purposes and also be
acceptable by the Department of Pollution
Control.
IT SEEMS SORT of inconsistent to us to
allow crowded building on the beaches with
their resultant crowded septic tank service in
an area of restricted drainage and not allow
disposal of garbage out in the middle of
nowhere with thousands of acres for the
underground water to purify itself before it
comes into contact with human beings again.
Either one allowance is wrong or the other is
not.

Keys In Car Foolish


Gulf County Sheriff Ray-
mond Lawrence stated thLs
week that automobiles with
keys left in them is becom-
ing a problem in Gulf County.
On the evening of July 24.
the Gulf County Jail experi-
enced a jail break. Blood-
hounds led law enforcement
men to the drainage ditch
that runs adjacent to the
courthouse property and
eventually to the area of Bel-
lamy Circle. While in the

deputies checked 15 cars and


SUBSCRIBE TO THE STAR


found three vehicles with
keys in the ignition.
It was later learned that
the escapee who was recap-
tured was the one who had
entered that area. Lawrence
stated. "that if this escaped
prisoner had found one of the
vehicles with keys lie would
have been long gone. and
someone missing a car".
The Sheriff urges that the
people of Gulf County remove
the keys from ignitions each
time they leave their car.

ents of the bride, lighted by
candles and flanked by bou-
quets of lovely old-fashioned
daisies, yellow chrysanthe-
mums and white pom-poms.
Miss Pam Reeves, soloist,
sang "If", accompanied by
Mrs. Janice Cox, organist,
whose music enhanced the
entire service.

street length dress of pink
double knit, with a bodice
and long sleeves of flower
print pink chiffon and a white
cymbidim orchid corsage.

the guests and serving as
floor hostess was Mrs. Annie
B. Davis.

Raffield Speaks
to Kiwanians
School Board member
Gene Raffield spoke to the
Kiwanis Club Tuesday, ex-
plaining some items in the
new school budget which was
tentatively approved Tues-
day.
Raffield said the budget
would be about 10 percent
larger than last year, which
was in keeping with the av-
erage rise in prices during
the past year. The Board
member said school teachers
would receive an 11.5 in-
crease in salary.
Raffield felt confident the
proposed budget would fall
within the new eight mill
limit set'by the state, though
no definite valuation figures
have yet been released by the
office of Tax Assessor Sam-
uel A. Patrick. He pointed out
that there would be no addi-
tiotal local tax dollars levied
for the new budget and that
expected increase in property
valuations would reduce the
millage from last year.
He pointed that new pro-
grams going into the school
system this year included bus
service to Gulf Coast Com-
munity College from both
Port St. Joe and Wewahitch-
ka. Port St. Joe High School
will also introduce a foreign
language, Spanish, a fifth
year of math and expanded
vocational education subjects
in the new curriculum.
Guests of the club were
Board members Kenneth
Whitfield, Herman Ard and
William Roemer, Supt. David
Bidwell, Shoupe Howell of
Bonifay and David Rich of
Wewahitchka.


E. L. Antley, Mrs. James
Horton, Mrs. Murdic Harcus,
Mrs. Eric Hammond, Mrs. G.
G. Harper, Mrs. J. 0. Ogle,
Mrs. Angus Peterson and,
Mrs. Q. P. Wise.
Miss Burke, wearing a light
green two piece knit dress,
was presented a corsage of
white daisies for the occa-
sion. Her mother, Mrs. Clo-
teal Burke, wore a tan knit
dress, and Mrs. Eva Weston,
mother of the groom-elect,
wore a black and white pants
suit.
The room was decorated
with the honoree's chosen
colors of green, yellow and
white.
, The refreshment table fea-
tured miniature bridal bou-
quets of yellow daisies, with
green and yellow streamers.
Sheet cake, punch, coffee,
nuts and mints were served
to the guests.
Miss Burke received many
lovely gifts, including a mix-
er and electric can opener
from the hostesses.

THOUGHTS
From The Living Bible
Let us stop going over the
same old ground again and
again, always teaching those
first lessons about Christ.
Let us go on instead to other
things and become mature in
our understanding, as strong
Christians ought to be.
Surely we don't need to
speak further about the fool-
ishness of trying to be saved
by being good, or about the
necessity of faith in God;
you don't' need further in-
struction about baptism and
spiritual gifts and the resur-
rection of the dead and
eternal judgment.

TALLAHASSEE-The Flor-
ida Highway Patrol recom-
mended this week that any-
one thinking about purchas-
ing a motor vehicle which
makes excessive noise or
spending money to modify
their present motor vehicle to
make more noise should
think twice before doing so as
they may well be wasting
their money.
Colonel Eldrige Beach,
director of the Patrol re-
minds drivers that, "Effec-
tive January 1, 1975, the
'Florida Motor Vehicle Noise
Prevention and Control Act of
1974' goes into effect. The
Highway Patrol and the De-
partment of Pollution Control
are in the process at this
time of setting up operating
procedures."
He continued, "The legisla-
ture set the maximum noise
levels and we expect to have
men trained with the proper
equipment necessary to en-
force this new law by Janu-
ary 1, 1975. Under the old
law, 'excessive noise' had to
be determined by the offic-
er's hearing; however, the
new law sets maximums
which will be measured by
sensitive instruments."
Race cars competing on the
race track, emergency ve-
hicles, construction or agri-
cultural equipment and man-
ufacturers testing their motor
vehicle are the only excep-
tions.
Colonel Beach concluded by
saying, "Now is a good time
to start making plans to meet
the new law which becomes
effective January 1, 1975 if
your motor vehicle makes too
much noise."

THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY. AUGUST 8. 1974


Conrad


Serving

Thomas Speaks1n C. G.


to


PSJ


Representative Pat
Thomas, candidate for the
State Senate, in a meeting
'with the Port St. Joe Jaycees
criticized a growing state
government and asked that
the brakes be applied to help
fight inflation.
Claiming that "we're pay-
ing more for gasoline and
government and getting less
mileage from both," Rep.
Thomas (D-Quincy) pledged
he will seek realistic solu-
tions to real problems when
elected to the State Senate.
Thomas is campaigning for
the State Senate District
Four seat, which was vacated
by former Senate President
Mallory Horne who is seeking
the Democratic U. S. Senate
nomination.
"There may not be much I
can do to increase the mile-
age you get from a gallon of
gas," Thomas said, "but I
sure can see that you get a
dollars' worth of service for a
dollar spent in state govern-
ment."
Thomas also pledged to
make himself available, at
any time, to the people in the
15 county Senate district.
"It disturbs me that reap-
portionment made this such a
large district. Many of the
people I've talked to during
my campaign feel isolated
from their government.
"If I'm their State Senator,
I can assure you that I'll be
available to hear their pro-
blems and thoughts on how
,our state government should
serve them.
"I have prided myself in
the two years that I have
served in the House on my
ability to respond to the


Jaycees


needs of the people in my
district when called upon,"
he said.
Thomas said his accom-
plishments while a member
of the Florida House of Re-
presentatives include:
-a water distribution pro-
gram for the rural areas of
North Florida.
-property tax relief
-urging early completion
of Interstate 10.
-upgrading benefits for
career public employees.
Thomas also said that if
elected State Senator, he
would continue his efforts at
tax reform.
"We have a surplus in the
State Treasury of almost $300
million," he said. "That
means the people of this state
have been overtaxed. I intend
to see that the taxpayers get
some of that money back, so
they can afford to buy the
necessities for their families
during these inflated times."
Thomas said one of the
beginning steps to reduce
taxes would be to place a
seven mil cap on school
taxes. This would have to be
accomplished by a constitu-
tional amendment, he ex-
plained.
Thomas also said he would
work to see that the environ-
ment of the North Florida
area is maintained, but
stated that he was not in
favor of condemnation of pri-
vate property without just
compensation.
"Another area which we
should be concentrating on in
state government is a plan to
shift the growth which we
have experienced in some of
the South Florida areas into

Safe Boating




No Accident


those areas of North Florida
where growth is still desired.
"If it's properly planned
and regulated, new growth in
many of our small counties
could stimulate the economy
of these counties."
Thomas has been active in
government for several
years, as well as being a suc-
cuessful businessman and
owner of a small Gadsden
County farm.
He was Chairman of the
Florida Democratic Party for
four years and then elected
by a wide majority as State
Representative for District
10, a position he has held for
the past two years.

HARMON SHIELDS
Executive Director

TALLAHASSEE There
are several things the
skipper of a boat should keep
in mind before leaving the
dock. It must be clearly
understood that he is defi-
nitely in command and re-
sponsible for the safety of his
boat, his passengers and the
lawful operation of the vessel
while afloat.
Statistics reveal that the
greatest single, cause of
boating accidents is the fault
of the operator. The most
common operator fault is the
overloading and improper
loading of pleasure craft.
Records further illustrate
that the majority of fatal
accidents involve boats less
than 26 feet in length, of
which approximately one-
half have no engines or are
powered by engines of 10
horsepower or less.
We must remember that
the number of seats, or how
they are arranged, is not in-
dicative of the number of
passengers the boat can
carry sately. A safe load
capacity depends on the
individual boals construc-
tion and characteristics.
Weather and sea conditions
must also he considered.
'When loading the boat do not
let any passengers aboard
until you have loaded your
cargo and distributed I;
evenly. Always keep Ihe load
as low as possible. and never
allow iAVyOnIe to sand up in :
small h i'at. Small ('; ca;,
he verv unstahle wliit jhus


S:e pi.-S-, i s!, x di ll '."


h r.i a lie t i i n w' ill
,-'se!Si:at:i'. :ien keep low

i; is ver' easy in overhead
vour bi)oal. so ii i. much
easier to be safe than
sorry When y..i bloa;li is
0o erloaded ii will easily
swamp or capsize because it
cannot react to wa.es and
other actions properly. Many
boat manufacturers install a
capacity plate showing the
recommended weight ca-
pacity. usually in numbers
of persons as well as number
of pounds per person, motor,
fuel and gear. Many states
now require new boats to
have this plate. We must also
remember without equivo-
calitn. the recommenda-
tions inscribed on the plates
are for fair weather con-
ditions only and do not
relieve the skipper of the
responsibility for good
judgment. If weather and
water conditions are ad-
verse, the load should be
reduced accordingly.

We realize how unfair il
seems to be to leave thai
extra person at home. or to
fish from the dock. But. we
also realize how unfair and
thoughtless it could be if a
tragedy should happen and
you would be left them
completely.

Planned on


Two archery hunts and
one muzzle gun hunt for
white-tailed deer, wild pigs,
raccoon and opossum are

land during the 1974 fall hunt-
ing season. According to in-
formation released from the
St. Vincent National Wildlife
Refuge headquarters in Apa-
lachicola, the dates set are

16-19 for the two bow hunts,
and December 12-15 for the
muzzle loading rifle hunt.

archers will be allowed to
hunt on the Island at any one
time. Three hundred permits
for the primitive gun hunt
will be issued to those appli-
cants whose names are
drawn at a public drawing to
be held at the Apalachicola


Shrimp Into Summer
What could be more refreshing and appetizing than fresh Florida
shrimp-stuffed pears? Not many food items, when you think in
terms of nutrition, ease of preparation and availability. At a time
when many food items are scarce the Florida Department of Nat-
ural Resources reports that shrimp are in plentiful supply in all
forms fresh, frozen and breaded. Refresh your family and add
sparkle to -nealtime this summer with Florida shrimp.

Is from parents around the

n response not only to
se killings, and subsequent
.stions from worried par-
s, the Governor of Texas,
ph Briscoe, announced
t September the initiation
a national hotline for run-
ays. Operation Peace of
id, as it is called, was set
to be liason between the
away youth and his or her

Return


have us contact for you?"
"Do you need or want help?"
Should the answer to the
last question be affirmative,
Peace of Mind. upon ascer-
taining the runaway's loca-
tion, will be able to refer him
to service organizations with-
in the area.
To date POM has handled
over 2,000 calls from run-
aways around the nation.

The Peace of Mind toll free
number is 1-800-231-6946. .

This comes as no surprise
to law enforcement personnel
or the Division of Youth Ser-
vices staff who have been
familiar with the problem for
years. The Florida climate
and beaches have long at-
tracted runaways and last
year 9,465 out-of-state run-
aways were apprehended in
this state.
Recognizing the extent of
the runaway problem the
Florida Legislature has allo-
cated $20,000 to be used in
publicizing the Peace of Mind
project. The major responsi-
bility for implementing this


effort has, fallen on the Divi-
sion of Youth Service's Infor-
mation Office. Under the
direction of Bill Paddon, the
Information Office intends to
mount a massive multi-media
publicity dirve for the Hous-
ton based Peace of Mind pro-
gram. In addition to thou-
sands of phone booth stickers.
billboard and bench adver-
tisements, the Information
Office is attempting to secure.
public service time on tele-
vision and radio stations
throughout the state.
An effort is also being
made to secure newspaper
space, articles and advertise-
ments on the runaway hotline
project. The main objective is
to get the Peace of Mind toll
free number to the runaways
in Florida. This will at least
enable them to get in touch
with their parents, though in-
directly.
Yet the Division of Youth
Services sees its function as
going beyond the publicity of
Peace of Mind. Paddon's of-
fice is in the process of com-
piling an extensive list of
community service'organiza-
tions in every city in the


Home


state. By making this list
available to Houston, Peace
of Mind would, if requested,
be able to refer the runaway
calling from Florida to a
number of help giving agen-
cies in the immediate area.
DYS Intake has consented to
make the phone numbers of
its local offices available to
POM. This would allow the
runaway to turn himself in
and arrangements would be
made to get .him back home.
But the Intake option is up tO
the runaway and the ramifi-
cations of such a contact
would be fully explained to
hin by POM.
The Division sees the pub-
licity of the Peace of Mind
project as only a first step in
an attempt to deal with the
runaway situation in Floridfi.
The bulk of the work is yet to
come in terms of legislation,
community support, and faci-
lity and manpower organiza-
tion. The Information Office
of the Division of Youth Ser-
vices will do everything in its
power to insure the Florida
public gets the most complete
information on the runaway
situation available.


Hunts


Refuge


office on October 31.
The designated permit ap-
plication form must be re-
ceived before October 31 to
apply for the 1974 primitive
gun hunt on St. Vincent Is-
land. No charge is made for
the permits issued by the
Refuge. The permit system is
intended to provide high qua-
lity controlled hunts and
avoid excessive overcrowd-
ing.
The applicable Florida
Game and Fresh Water Fish
Commission .unt-irng license
is required for all hunts at St.
Vincent National Wildlife Re-
fuge. Also, a Florida Archery
Season Permit is required for
the October 18-21 bow hunt.
St. Vincent National Wild-
life Refuge consists primarily
of a 12,358 acre island near
Apalachicola in Franklin
County. Hunting will be per-
mitted on the entire island
during the 1974 hunts. No
bridge or causeway connects
St. Vincent Island with the


mainland. No public trans-
portation facilities are avail-
able. Participants must ar-
range for or provide their
own transportation across
coastal water to the island.
This service may be obtained
from some of the Indian Pass
or Apalachicola commercial
boat operators. Two rough,
unimproved campsites, one
on either end of St. Vincent
Island, have been designated
for those sportsmen who wish
to remain on the island. For
those. not planning to. camp,
on the island, motel and rest-
aurant facilities are available
in Port St. Joe, Apalachicola,
East Point and Carrabelle.
Leaflets providing informa-
tion, hunting regulations, and
a letter-size map of St. Vin-
cent Wildlife Refuge and the
primitive gun hunt applica-
tion form may be obtained by
