1 .....r.- t er.--S&Tln ,~A bInAI 4 AO Industry Deep Water Port Fine People Safest Beaches in Florida PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1974 Jaycees Urge You to Port St. Joe Jaycees will be doing their bit to reduce the estimated 21 highway fatalities forecast for the Labor Day holidays by the Florida Highway Patrol. The Jaycees will be conducting their annual "Arrive Alive" display and refreshment station for tired drivers beginning at 8:00 Saturday and continuing on a round-the-clock basis until 12:00 Midnight, Monday. The refreshment station, to be located near the Florida First National Bank on Highway 98, will offer coffee and refresh- ments to motorists who stop for a breather in their travels. In addition to their Arrive Alive pro- gram, the Jaycees will also be receiving telephone pledges in the .Muscular Dys- trophy telethon. The Jaycees will have a phone at their station to receive the do- nations. Those wishing to give to the worthy cause and give credit to Gulf County, may call the Jaycees' special number 229-6521. In addition to offering refreshments to tired motorists, the Jaycees will have a realistic display set up, reminding motorists, visually, what can happen on the highways during a busy week end. Jim -White, chairman of this year's Arrive Alive program, said, "There has been a reduction in traffic fatalities in the past few years during Labor Day. We like to think that a percentage of this was due to efforts of Jaycees road stops throughout the state. If only one life is saved it will be worth all the work involved in this project." SIn addition to the Jaycee Arrive Alive program, the Highway Patrol will have every available trooper and auxiliaryman on Planning For New Directory Preparation for publication of the new telephone direc- tory gets underway this week as eight representatives of the St. Joseph Telephone & Telegraph Co. begin a two week canvass of the area. During the past 12 months, the number of telephones ser- ving this area has increased by more than seven per cent and as a result, the new tele- phone directory will be larger than ever before. Telephone activity in the Port St. Joe area has in- creased to a point where there is an average of 32,428 local calls made every day, .5,254 outgoing long distance calls per day, and 1,317 calls to information each day. All this telephone activity, adds up to an even more important role for the telephone direc- tofy serving the commun- ity. The new directory will close September 6, and any- one wishing to make addi- tions, deletions, or changes should contact their local business office George G. Tapper Co., Inc. of Port St. Joe was the appa- rent low bidder for .386 miles of work on SR 30 in bids opened Thursday in Talla- hassee by the Florida Depart- ment of Transportation. Tapper's bid of $666,296.75 was for the removal of exist- ing bridges and construction of two new single bridges at Simmons Bayou and Money Bayou; .386 mile of light grading and small drainage structures. Applications Being Received for County Recreation Director The recreational needs of Gulf County citizens took a step forward recently in plans formulated in a govern- mental agencies meeting. Agencies represented were the Gulf County Board of Commissioners, Gulf County School Board, City of Port St. Joe and City of Wewahitchka. On July 11 they met to dis- cuss a proposal for increas- ing and coordinating educa- tional and recreational ser- vices for all citizens of, the county. At a subsequent meeting, a tentative program and Advis- ory Committee were esta- blished to set 'policy and make major decisions in the implementation of the pro- gram. The Gulf County School Board was designated as the administering agency, and is now ready to accept City Planning Open House The City is planning open house at the new fire station, Monday, September 9. The City Commission and the Fire Department will host the event when citizens are invited to come by and in- spect the new facility. The reception and open house will begin at 6:00 p.m. applications for a director of the program. Applications for the post will be accepted through noon, September 23, at the School Board's office in the Courthouse. Under the direction, and in cooperation with the Advi- sory Committee, the primary function of the director will be to organize and implement a program of desirable com- munity activities which meets the cultural and recre- ational needs of Gulf County citizens. A detailed job description and applications are availa- ble at the School Board of- fice.

Star photo Is Park off Limits for People? Is St. Joseph's State' Park for the use of the people, or is it going to just sit there for people to look at if they can get a permit to set foot on the property? This, in effect, was a ques- tion posed to the Gulf County Commission Tuesday night by Dave Maddox, a life-time resident of Port St. Joe. Maddox said he recognized the need to preserve the area for recreation and agreed with this use, but he expres- sed a concern that in recent days, the status of the end of the peninsula had been changed so as to vuttually rule out any use of the 1,600 acres by the public for rec- reation. 0 "For years," Maddox said, "My family has used the peninsula for a recreation area where we would go by boat, picnic, fish, swim and enjoy the day. It's my under- standing I am now breaking the law".,. Maddox was referring to the fact that the northern five miles of the peninsula has been designated a "Wilder- ness Reserve" by the Florida Park Service. "Under this designation", Maddox said, "I find I can no longer go on the premises without a per- mit from the main gate of the park and then I must walk into the area.'I also find that Call 227-2311 for Ambulance Service Gulf County's new volunteer ambulance service gets into ser- vice a little before it had planned to, as the result of a registered letter received this week from the Division of Health by Com- forter Funeral Home. Comforter had been operat- ing a. service in the county under a special permit from the State of Florida until' the County could get into the business or contract with a service. The letter, however, said Comforter must get out of the business by midnight, August 31, which is Saturday :night. As a result of the turn of events, the Gulf County Volun- teer Ambulance Service will be- gin operation that same day, with ambulance vehicles station- ed in Wewahitchka and Port St. Joe, at the fire stations in both cities. Those desiring the service, which will be offered strictly on an emergency basis only, may get help by calling the Sheriff's office. The Sheriff's office will receive and dispatch all ambu- lance calls. The Sheriff's office number is 227-2311. The volunteer service isn't really 100 percent ready to begin their operation on Saturday, but most of the requirements for preparation have been accom- plished. Nineteen graduated from the basic first aid course offered the volunteers Friday of last week. A defensive driving course is to be offered the corps- men on September 12 and 13. In lieu of the course, the volunteers will be meeting all this week for practice driving sessions, getting familiar with the vehicles and the equipment on board. At a meeting of the volun- teers Monday night, H. L. "An- dy" Anderson was elected crew chief. Anderson said the service can still use some additional volunteers. The prospective vol- unteers may join the group by calling the Sheriff's office and offering your services. Sheriff Raymond Lawrence says about 25 have already sign- ed up. He pointed out that several members already were certified in first aid and didn't take the course offered' last week. McCrary Takes LIVE IUD LET LIVE ARRIVE ALIVE #t &$i~wyZee 83A-t~yt Measures to Area Map Reduce Fines . Considered Circuit Judge Robert L. McCrary, Jr., of Marianna, Chief Judge of the six-county 14th Judicial Circuit, has ta- ken under advisement propo- sals to amend assessment of court costs in minor traffic and criminal cases. At the specific request of Gulf County Judge Robert Moore, Judge McCrary is studying .plans to reduce mandatory costs set forth last year by administrative order. The original order es- tablished costs to be levied against defendants convicted of traffic and misdemeanor offenses. One problem arising from the assessment of costs has been an equitable distribution of fines and costs to cities whose city courts have been abolished and counties whose county courts now hear those cases. Now, with new statutes ap- plying, the Chief Judge is considering costs in the new light to arrive at a system fair to the defendants, the cities, and the counties, and consistent with the adminis- tration of justice. Chamber of Commerce President Robert M. (Bob) Moore announced that the Chamber of Commerce Board is investigating the production of an Area Activi- ties Map. The map would depict the many recreational areas from Mexico Beach to Apalachicola. It would also identify many of the busines- ses provided services to visi- tors to the area. The cooperation of area businesses is needed for the success of this project. Busi- nesses will have an opportu- nity to advertise on the map. and to obtain copies for dis- tribution as souvenirs. Representatives of area businesses are cordially in- vited to meet with the Cham- ber of Commerce Board at its next meeting on Wednesday, September 4, 1974, at 5:30 p.m.,E.D.T. The meeting will be held at the Municipal Building in Port St. Joe, A representative of Great Ame- rican Publishing Company will be present to discuss the specific details for producing the map. 15 Cents Per Copy Tapper Company Apparent Low Bidder for SR 30 Renovations THITY-EVETH EAH NUABFK 4 r 01 ri no more than 10 people are allowed into the area at any given time", Maddox said. "If this is so, we should begin working hard to get the de- signation changed. People around here worked hard to get that park and I think we should be able to use it." Maddox asked the Board if they had been notified of the Wilderness Reserve designa- tion and the Board said they had not. Maddox said he had contacted Representative William J. Rish and it was a surprise to him also. Maddox also pointed out that the end of the peninsula has been used for years as' a spoil area to dump sand dredged from the harbor en- trance at this point. "This new designation will stop that too and could possibly have an effect on shipping into the local harbor. The County Board has had dealings with unfavorable practices at the park in the past. They have been con- cerned with the fact that so few spaces are left open for people to use on a first come basis. It was the practice of the park to leave many of the camp sites open-for' possible reservations. Maddox and the Board was concerned with the new rul- ings being made without con- sulting anyone, apparently, and seemed to want to do something to put the park back in the business of serv- ing the recreational needs of the people. Commissioner Walter Gra- ham said many of the picnic facilities have been removed making it inconvenient for people of the area to go to the park for a day's outing and a picnic. Mosquito Control Supervi- sor C. E. Daniell said the park people had also stopped his people from spraying along the shore for dog flies. "Those flies breeding over there come over here on this side of the bay and make our work over here useless." Daniell said his department had been spraying the area for 18 years. As a result of the several complaints, the Board decid- ed to write to the Park Board of their concern and to re- quest Representative William J. Rish to use his influence in the matter. Rish was away on vacation Tuesday night. AG T. T S. U -THE STAR- SPubtlshed Every ThI rday mat s WJtient Avenw, Fert St. Joe. FlorIa Secoon-cassB P0stf*a Pi Ofort St. JoE FIrC e m u Wms(y R.

CARD OF THANKS I want to take this means to thank the doctors, nurses and the 'hospital staff for their concern and care shown me during my recent stay at the Municipal Hospital. S. J. Taylor Lyles to - Promote ETAOIN SHRDLU O'Ma Illey by WESLEY R. RAMSEY Bill Lyles, Mexico Beach, motel man, is heading Tho- ----- mas D. O'Malley's re-election bid in south Gulf County. . O'Malley is seeking a. second term as State Trea- surer and Insurance Commis- sioner. In announcing Lyles' ap- pointment, O'Malley said, "We welcome a man of such experience and integrity into our re-election group." Lyles, a Mexico Beach resi- dent for more than a decade, for several years was mana-, ger of Radio Station WJOE, in addition to his duties as a beach innkeeper. The graying businessman also served one hitch as mayor in his own community and for years has been deep- ly involved in Gulf and Bay County mental retardation work. In accepting the south Gulf County post, Lyles spoke highly of "Commissioner 0'- Malley's effort to both reduce the cost of insurance and proper handling the state's idle money to generate the largest possible return of in- terest." O'Malley has earned more money forLthe state by, nvest' ing idleoperating funds that n f! .. f- anh treasurer in the state's history. Lyles said he "doesn't know if Commissioner O'Mal- ley will be able to visit Gulf County before the September 10 primary, but plans now are for him to attend a Jaycee-Chamber of Com- merce rally in Panama City Saturday afternoon. Look for It First In Port St. Joe I :l In this day of rising prices,. inflation, divorce, permis-, siveness, war and general unhappiness, it is refreshing! to hear there is such a thing as a truly happy person. The lucky lady is 40ish, has. a houseful of kids and the, most effervescent personal- ity you ever saw, a trait which has followed her from four until past 40. - Following a long standing theory that stealing someone else's thoughtful words is better than your own not-so- good words, let her tell it: (She admits she stole some of it too.) "I am a housewife, mother of six children. I am middle- aged, overweight and my husband says 'attractive.' I hold no college degrees. I would be lost in the fast moving world of business. But, I am not frustrated and I do not take tranquilizers. "How can I be happy when I have none of the things I'm told are necessary for me to lead a ,full life, to know myself and, .to become, a whole eloe Well, I feel. duty ao'be * -i Van :obligation ,to'. myself, as. well as to those around me. ."Happiness does not in any, measure depend upon' material possessions. I've never owned a Renoir, but I've walked with my children to the top of a high hill to look FIFTEEN YEARS AGO, Dr. Wayne Hen- drix told me, "Wes, you're going to have to have that appendix out or you're going to be in trouble one of these days." :. Since that time, on three or four other occasions, both Doctors Wayne and Joe Hen- drix have told me ... "They've got to come out or you're going to have problems one day." Back then, however, six' kids in school and college, hungry, barefoot, bareback and one of the finest mortgages around wouldn't let me go get the job done. FRIDAY, THE OLD FAMILIAR pain came back but Dr. Wayne wasn't 100 per cent sure it was the appendix. Things got worse Saturday evening, but I hated to interfere with Wayne's weekend time off. I know h w-it is to have your week ends and evenings at.home interrupted, so I was going to tough, :things out until Monday. Sunday morning, I rationalized between the pain in my belly and'allowingg Wayne all Satur- day off. He had rested enough. So I called his home and told him things were going on inside my stomach I didn't approve of. Wayne .. ,e I the BbspitaAin .|A hour n t-.me thtre.., . For once, I was early to a meeting. After about 30 minutes of tests, Wayne came back to the emergency room and said, "It's the appendix, we're going to take it out." "When," I asked, admittedly a little apprehensive. "Right now," he said. "The nurse is coming to put you to bed so you can be prepped." "But," I asked, "don't I even get time to go home and get a pair of pj's and a toothbrush? And, too, I'm double parked:out front." "You're not going to need anything except 'een 'N Grassy Mike Beaudoin down a breathtaking scene below and the splendor of a summer sunset. "I've never been to the opera, but I've listened the song of birds, the laughter of children and the chirping of the crickets. I've never been applauded, but I've shared with God the wonderful miracle of creation and I've had the thrill of hearing a tiny, lisping voice, whisper- ing 'You are the bestest muvver.' "I have the ability to greet each morning with a smile. I have the intelligence to approach my work, even the monotonous chores, with willing hands. I can face the night with a tiredness of body that woos me to sleep.. "Life has not been easy for me. I've weathered several major illnesses. I've held a sick baby in yiy arms all night, not just ne night, but many, expecting every breath to be h*r last. "I early learned to use my hands and make my children clothes. Often it seemed to me that I was spending years in sewing, washing and ironing..But my clothesline was an inspiration. Little girl dresses became rainbows and little boy/trousers were wind-filled balloons. "Certainly my part in the great drama of life is small, like a pebble carelessly tossed into a whirling pool, one of our special sexy hospital gowns and someone willimove your car." So, in a time slot on Sunday morning, when Wayne is usually seated with his wife, Ruth, on the third pew from the rear in Long Avenue Baptist Church and I'm leading him in a song or two, he was directing me toward dreamland in the Municipal Hospital operating room, and a painless belly. IT WASN'T WITHOUT a struggle though. Rune Lilquist, hospital anesthetist, was on vacation and had come home only the night before. So he was called back to work early. Mrs. Betty Sue Wright, surgical nurse and Mrs. Pearlie Fields, her assistant, were on the way to church and had to be called in, along with Dr. Wayne's medical assistant, William Holten. I made Sunday dinner late for at least five families, but, honestly, I wasn't caring at all. All wasn't a loss, though. I found out why the Hospital hired Rune Lilquist as its anesthe- tist. It's because he has the voice to penetrate the fog of gas, ether,; and sodium pentathol and ou to wake up I "can"te`tify- fpomr experi- you can heir him while thoroughly "under," calling, "OK, OK, you've been asleep long enough. Time to wake up and help me clean up this mess." IT'S ALL OVER NOW. The only thing I was particularly worried about was getting out last week's paper. Since it got out, on time, with a creditable job of make-up, reporting, photography, advertising, etc., I can see I'm not as indispensable as I thought I was. The only problem now is, the next time I want a week off, I don't have another appendix to give up to get it. Teachers in Workshop A' "Reading Competencies for Teachers" workshop was held in the Kindergarten Cen- ter :at 'Port St. Joe Elemen- tary.School on August 19 and 20. Mrs. Anne McCarty, read- but I had not lived in vain. I will ''ave behind children and grandchildren with a deep and sincere faith in God: I know that when they see a lovely sunset, or a hi- biscus bush, or touch a rose, they -_yill pause and say: 'Mother loved this so.' And for a moment, I'll live again. "I'm just a housewife and mother, but if I had my life to live over, I would choose no other way." ing consultant from Duval County conducted the work- shop for Gulf County teach- ers, grades K-3; reading tea- chers, grades 1-6; all excep- tional education teachers, grades 1-6 and administra- tors. The workshop was con- cerned with establishing min- imum reading objectives for grades K-6; techniques to use in diagnosing, prescribing and teaching to meet individ- ual needs; steps in man- aging a reading system and techniques of teaching com- prehension, vocabulary and word analysis. After attending the work- shop, teachers of reading are better prepared to meet the needs of the individual child.

The book os Isai- ah the prophet was handed to him. and he opened it to the place where it says: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me: he has appointed me to preach Good News to the poor: he has sent me to heal the brokenhearted and t o an- nounce that captives shall be released and the blind shall see, that the downtrodden shall be freed.

Library Director Says an Increase In Money Needed Mrs. Jane Patton, director of the Northwest Florida Re- gional Library system, told V' County Commission \ .esday night that some of the County's library services may have to be curtailed if the county cannot add more money to their share of the library budget. ' Mrs. Patton pointed out that the county had not' in- creased their annual contri- bution of $20,000 in three years.' "With everything go- ing up in price, the library can't.be expected to continue offering the same services at the same price". Mrs. Patton was asking for $24,300 from Gulf County for the new budget year. She indicated that any possible reduction in library services would prob- ably be abandonment of the bookmobile service or closing of the Wewahitchka branch. The Board said they must. hear from the Tax Assessor before they would know how much money they had avail- able. WANTS EQUIPMENT - Frances Kirkland, repre- senting the Civil Defense, made a request to the County Commission for some Civil Defense disaster supplies. "The hurricane season is here and we still do not have many of the items recom- mended at the end of last year's season," he said. Kirk- land said many of the items needed could be obtained on a matching basis with the state Civil Defense. In view of budget uncer- tainties, the Board delayed Legal Ad REGISTRATION OF FICTITIOUS NAMES We the undersigned, being duly sworn, do hereby declare under oath that the names of all persons interested in the business or profession carried on under the name of READY ARTS & CRAFTS, and the extent of the interest of each, is as follows: Maxine M.

WATER COMMISSION A group of Highland View citizens were present at the meeting Tuesday requesting two members be named to the Highland View Water Dis- trict Board. Two of the mem- bers are no longer residents of Highland View, leaving only three members on the Board. These members, Emory Bailey, Curtis Griffin and Earl Peak, felt they could no longer legally oper- ate because of their number. The Board said they would take the steps necessary to get two additional members appointed. The group present recom- mended that Rita Brown and Jackie Ragan be named to the Board. BUILDING CODE The matter of a building code came up again Tues- day night, with the State of .Florida informing the county that all counties would fall under the requirements of the state code if an interim code isn't adopted by January 1, 1975. J The-County has faced this matter before, but failed to adopt a code because they were reluctant to put restric- tions oh what a person did with his property. According to the letter from the state, it is no longer elective whether the county has a building code or i t. All types of construction will fall under the requirements Paid for by Louis Dooner, Campaign Treasurer of the state code if the county does not adopt one of its own by the January 1 deadline. OTHER BUSINESS In other business, the Board: -Agreed to purchase a truck for use by the Court- house maintenance crew. -Heard Road Supt.

JOHN PAUL HOWARD Judge, First District Court of Appeal SUBJECT TO FIRST PRIMARY, SEPTEMBER I -~ , Lack of Care Is fLandscape Downfall The downfall of most home '%ndscapes is the lack of maintenance. It is practically impossible to maintain an attractive lot. without a few hours of care each week. A garden which requires unne- cessary and expensive ma,in- tenance can become a real burden to the average home- owner, but this is where minimum-maintenance land- scaping comes in. It is possible to have an attractive and functional landscape which meets the needs of the family while at the same time requires mini- mum maintenance. But, a minimum maintenance land- scape requires careful plan- ning. Maintenance' should be considered in the planning stages of landscaping rather than as an afterthought. Work out in advance any additions or alterations to your home grounds and have a definite purpose and place for every plant, tree, shrub or other feature. Here are some do's and don't to think about in estab- lishing a low-maintenance garden. Do eliminate as many 'frills" as possible. A good design is based on simplicity, so use only those things that do a definite job in the landscape, and don't just plant for the sake of variety. Many homeowners achieve simplicity by over-planting and then eliminating what is not absolutely necessary. This is an expensive route to take. Do keep the yard free of ornaments arid even trees and shrubs except for those absolutely needed. Do avoid a scattered arrangement of flower beds and garden ac- cessories. A cluttered yard requiring a lot of hand edging and clipping is a mainten- (Continued on Page 6) THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla.

Don't try to grow grasses in areas too shady, too dry or wet or too steep to be mowed safely.. Do use ground cover plants in these areas and select plants requiring little or no maintenance. Don't line walks and drive- ways with unnecessary plant- ings or place foundation plants.so close to the building that they can't be main- tained. Do select plants carefully, considering their ultimate height and width. Don't use plants which require constant pruning. Do consider the use of native plants since they are obviously adapted to the climate and soils of the area and usually have few pest problems. Do use mowing strips or edges along walks, flower beds and around trees and 'shrubs. These will reduce mowing and edging problems and create a much neater landscape. Do use mulches to mini- mize watering and reduce weeds in flower and shrub beds. Don't overfertilize. Keep plants at minimum fertiliza- tion levels and mowing and pruning will be minimized. And last but not least, don't confuse low maintenance with no maintenance. Plants will sooner or later need water, fertilizer and care and grass must be mowed. Do plan with maintenance in mind and you'll work less but enjoy it more!

"At the same time, we don't endorse any non-government Hunt Season Starts Sunday The first official gun of the 1974-75 Florida hunting sea- son. will sound on Sunday, September 1, with the open- ing of the season for hunting migratory marsh hen and Florida gallinule. According to an announce- ment by the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission the season, shooting hours and bag limits for rails (marsh hens) and gallinule are as follows: Open season -- September 1 through November 9. Legal hours -- One-half hour before sunrise to sunset. Bag limits -- Clapper and King rails, 15 singly or in aggregate. Sora and Virginia rails, 25 singly or in aggre- gate. Florida gallinule, 15 daily. Sportsmen are reminded that the purple gallinule is protected and may not be taken at any time.

France and Look for It First In Port St. Joe publication. People can get free, accurate, up-to-date publications and other infor- mation about social security be contacting any social se- curity office." Social security information is organized and illustrated in a different way in some com- mercial books, according to Robinson. "Some of them are well done," he said. "But the information in them isn't 'se- cret' or 'inside.' If advertis- ing suggests it is, the adver- tising is false." Some advertising hints that a publisher has an official connection with the Social Security Administration and has access to social security records, according to Robin- son. "This is never true," he said. "No advertiser has ac- cess to other people's social security records. These re- cords are confidential under the law." "Dramatic" claims for books can be misleading, Robinson said. "For exam- ple: an advertisement says readers will learn 'how to collect $300 a month from social security at age 30 while you are working full time.' The book tells you what any social security of- fice will tell you without charge: if a young father and mother are both working un- dec social security and one dies, their children may get monthly social security pay- ments." People can call, write, or visit any social security of- fice for information about the retirement, disability, survi- vors, Medicare, and supple- mental security income pro- grams, Robinson said.

This does not mean that all recipients of Supplemental Security In- come (SSI), are automatical- ly eligible for food stamps. SSI recipients eligible for food stamps June 30, 1974 shall have their certification period administratively ex- tended until March 31, 1975. From August 1, 1974 through March 31, 1975, these SSI recipients must be recertified in order to be eligible for food stamps until June 30, 1975. The local Food Stamp Office will set up appointments and notify the SSI recipients when to appear for certification. For the future of Gulf County...
