dedication ceremonies to- George
and Amy Tapper ibr their dona-
tion of the 186 acres oh which
the facility is built 'and Tapper's
efforts in securing financing for
'construction of the project after
nearly three years of work.
President Bob Freeman pre-
sented Tapper v with a plaq-uee,
which wasiater mounted on the'
base of the flagpole in front of
the club house. Upon receiving
the bronze marker Tapper re-
marked, "This was the best kept
secret in Gulf County. It's a
complete' surprise. I thought I
was up here to introduce our
featured speaker, Bob Sikes."
Nearly 500 people gathered at'
the Country Club Saturday af-
ternoon to witness the formal
opening of a proejct which had
been worked for so long and
hard. They toured the spacious
and tastefully furnished club
house with its comfortable res-
taurant overlooking one of the
deep green fairways of the golf
course. They gathered around
the fine swimming and wading
pool which has seen so much
use since its opening in July
and walked down the now-car-
peted fairways of the first nine
holes of the golf course. Grass

applause from the audience.

34 Candidates Face Gulf


Electorate Next Tuesday


Gulf County voters will go to
the polls Tuesday to decide
their favorites among a group
of 34 candidates in 12 different
races on the Democratic Pri-
mary ballot. Voters also face a
non-partisan ballot for election
of judicial members to Supreme
,Court, Appellate Court, Circuit
Court and County Court judges.
Polls will open at 7:00 a.m.
and remain open through 7:00
p.m. in the evening.
The hottest race in Gulf Coun-
ty is the contest for Sheriff with
four opponents facing veteran
Sheriff B. E. Parker, who has
served the county since 1937.'
Opposing Parker are Jimmy
Barfield, a former deputy of
Parker; Raymond Lawrence,
J. B. (Jimmy) Stafford and Hugh-
ey Williams.
Another hotly-contested race
is the battle for Superintendent
of Public Schools, with the in-
cumbent, R. Marion Craig de-
ciding not to seek a third term.
Jf ier Port St. Joe High School
prr nipals C. Allen Scott and
Walter Wilder along with Da-
vid Bidwell, representative of an
educational coo perative, are
competing for the post.
The most heat has probably
been generated by the competi-
tion for Judge of the County
Court with veteran incumbent
Sam P. Husband being challeng-
ed by A. L. (Al) Hargraves and


Frank Pate.

The City Commission signed
the largest loan agreement Tues-
day night ever signed by a Gulf
County governing body. The
Board put its stamp of approval
on a resolution authorizing the
City to accept a loan of $7,475,-
000 from the State of Florida to
finance the new industry-City
Wastewater treatment plant un-
der construction here.
The money was made available
under a state law which allows
the state to provide money on a
loan basis to assist communities
in complying with strict anti-
pollution regulations.
The financial agreement sign-
ed Tuesday sets aside a portion
of the revenues from the opera-
tion of the plant to re-pay the
financial obligation. The state
contract also holds the City, the
St. Joe Paper Company and Glid-
den-Durkee Division of SCM re-
sponsible for the debt regardless
of what happens in the future.
The re-payment schedule runs
over a period of 30 years. Each
of the three parties involved
with the plant-the City, St. Joe
Paper and Glidden have signed
a cooperative agreement to use
the disposal system for a period
of 40 years.
The financial plan agreed to
this week will not completely fi-
nance the local venture. Costs
for construction and engineer-
ing services are expected to go
to $9.2 million. The state in their
loan agreement agreed to ac-
tively pursue a federal grant for
the remainder of the cost and,
if that fails, to loan the City the
remainder of the money need-
ed.
Water Coming
After nearly four years of try-
ing to get more water pressure
to Hunter Circle, the City Com-
mission signed an agreement
with John Robert Smith, a resi-
dent of Garrison Avenue, allow-
ing the City to run an addition-
al water main across his proper-


ty. The City already maintains
a shallow drain ditch at the edge
of Smith's property to drain the
Hunter Circle area and will put
the water main in the same vi-
cinity.


Smith would not give the City
an easement across his property
but agreed to allow the installa-
tion of the water main and per-
mit the City to do any mainten-
ance needed in the future.

Floating Bridge

Out for Repair

The Department of Transpor-
tation plans to make some major
repairs to the Overstreet Bridge
on State Road 386 in Gulf Coun-
ty it was announced tls week.
The repairs will take approx-
imately two weeks to complete.
This will necessitate closing the
bridge to all vehicular traffic.
Boat traffic will not be affected
by the bridge being out of op-
eration.
The repairs will begin on Sep-
tember 11 and be completed by
September 22, according to E.

Chase Ends In Holiday Accident


One automobile accident mar-
red the Labor Day holidays in
Gulf County, according\to High-
way Patrolman Ken Murphy.
The lone accident, involving
one car and one person resulted
in trying to avoid a speeding
ticket.
Johnny Mack Harrell of Port
St. Joe was spotted speeding by
City Patrolman Canty Jones Sun-
day afternoon near the overpass
on Highway 98. Jones started
after Harrell, who began to get
faster and headed for Apalachi-
cola with Jones in pursuit. Sev-
eral times Harrell reversed his
direction by turning around and
heading in the opposite direc-
tion trying to shake the pursuing
Jones.
Finally, Harrell headed for
White City. By this time, Jones
had used his radio to bring Dep-
uty Sheriff Oscar Jones and Flor-
ida Highway Patrolmen Ken
Murphy and Al Harrison in on
the chase.
Harrison was coming toward
Port St. Joe and met Harrell go-
ing in the other direction. He
turned around and gave chase
reporting that at one time Har-
rell was travelling 130 miles per
hour.
Harrison said he caught Har-
rell at the curve West of the
White City bridge and attempt-
ed to pull alongside. Harrison
said Harrell tried to force him
off the road and in so doing lost
control of his own car.
The Harrell vehicle left the
road on the right side, skidded
into the guard posts at the


bridge approach knocking down
nine of the concrete and steel
posts before his car flipped end
over end in the air and landed
in the deep ditch beside the
bridge approach.
Harrison said Harrell was
thrown from the car high into
the air. The car sailed under-
neath his body and landed in the


ditch. Harrell came down in a
pool of water, face down uncon-
scious. Harrison raced over and
pulled Harrell from the water.
He was taken to Municipal Hos-
pital for treatment of multiple
wounds.
Harrell was charged with reck-
less driving, driving with a re-
voked license and attempting to
escape a police officer.

Soviets "Dig" Rewards


Capitalism is our "thing" here in the United States.
With Capitalism comes our sense of competition; our
drive to excell and the promise that if we try harder we
will reap a greater harvest. In short, Capitalism makes
Americans tough competitors. They will try harder, lon-
ger than possibly any other people in the world because
of their method of living which heaps, rewards on the one
who keeps his nose hardest against the grindstone.
Russia, on the other hand is a nation of regimentation.
The people are given a job, they are provided for with
their basic needs. They are given a place to live and ex-
pected to work. Each Russian must work if he is to eat.
His advancement, however, comes with his coziness with
the Communist party and not particularly from his fine
work on the job or his extra hours put in training or pre-
paration for a better shake in his everyday living.
After watching the Russian athletes on the Olympic
presentation over television particularly the women
gymnasts, must we conclude that the desire to excell and
achieve is born in us rather than acquired? We particu-


larly point to the small Russian girl who stubbed her toe
while performing on the uneven bars. She cried due to
her failure when she got back to her seat. She wanted
to win. But where did she get her desire? Was it from
fear of what would happen if she didn't win?
We believe this "win" thing was personal with the
young,girl and shows a chink in the facade the Soviets
put before the world. They do, indeed, relate to compe-
tition and they lik the rewards.
The Soviets should be wary of such a condition in their
country. With this desire for the best, the Soviet govern-
ment will be in a pretty pickle if the women of that nation
ever learns that women in other nations have automatic
machines to wash their clothes; electric gadgets to open
their cans; clothing that can be washed, hung up to dry
and put on immediately to wear and various other tools
which provide the good life. Should the Russian woman
try as hard to obtain these gadgets as they do to excell
on the uneven bars, the nation's government is in trouble.


Ramsey Clark, the former attorney general is the
latest in the publicity-seeking parade of Americans visit-
ing Hanoi to investigate "U.S. war crimes".
Clark may have outdone Jane Fonda in a display of
stupidity.
Of course he had to work at it because Miss Fonda
pointed an anti-aircraft gun at the sky before beaming
North Vietnamese, compared Ho Chi Minh to Patrick
Henry and urged American pilots to stop bombing North
Vietnam.
Clark managed, though, with this statement:
"There is absolutely no excuse for bombing North
Vietnam and there never has been."
The excuse was' provided by North Vietnam, Mr.


If we were a County Commissioner, we would have
looked around long and hard Saturday afternoon at the
dedication of the St. Joseph Bay Country Club. It ap-
peared as if all the County Commissioners and those de-
siring to be County Commissioner were present at the
dedication, so they will be cognizant of what we are about
'to say.
Conservatively speaking, we would say there were 500
people at the dedication ceremony Saturday most all
tax payers and most all voters in Gulf County. This is
a sizeable chunk. of Gulf County's 4,500 registered voters
interested in one particular project. Granted, it's only
one ninth of the voters, but note we said "interested in
one project". That's a pretty big "minority bloc".
Nobody has formally asked for it yet, so the County
Commission cannot be held accountable for not providing
a paved road to the country club. But we're formally

asking for one now.
Already, there are very few fish landings with paved
access roads which get the activity the St. Joseph Bay
Country Club is generating and it's not even fully op-
erational yet. Think of what is to come when the golf
course gets in first class condition; when the tennis courts
are completed; the playgrounds usable and the restaurant
and club house operational. The present dirt road, even
though stabilized, is going to be woefully inadequate to
care for the steady stream of traffic to and from the
country club facility.
A County Commissioner with the interest of his
people at heart has probably already realized this situa-
tion which is building. But, in case he hasn't, it might
be to his future benefit and the benefit of the county to
consider a paved road to the country club. As Andy
Griffin used to say on the TV: "We'd appreciate it".


prove or preserve the various
aspects of public education. Whe-
ther or not the public school ad-
ministrator is a progressive or
conservative, he will agree that
improvement is a good thing and
he would not take the position
that improvement should be
solely by accident., Not everyone,
as we have seen however is in
favor of improvement. Some
public school administrators in
Gulf County, as elsewhere, are
still fighting their own person-
ality hangups, but most adminis-
trators of good will see improve-
ments in public education as a
goal, be he progressive or con-
servative. Both conservative and
reactionary are cautious if not
fearful of change, but not all
who oppose change are conserva-
tives.
For example, such a person
opposing change may be a con-
servative by accusation. He is
not cautious about change but
merely opposes a particular
change. His opposition may be
based upon his rational belief
that the proposed change would
not result in an improvement.
Those promoting the change
sidestep his reasonable argu-
ment by a character assassina-
tion in which he is charged a
"conservative".
There are other examples of

There are other examples of

his own programs being scraped
and with it the desecration of a
self-constructe. monument of
himself. His in erests may be po-
litically ideolo ical. For exam-
ple, he may be an integrationist
and a particular program would
tend to appeal to one race and
not another. His interests may be
educationally ideological. For
evample, he feels home-making
is not the educational responsi-
bility of the schools but of the
fiaily. Thus, lie opposes the
commitment of funds to expand
a home economics department.
He may have a community spirt
interest. As alumni committee
chairman, he is particularly
aware of the; general attention
given by the public to the schools
by its initial pride in its cham-
pionship winning basketball
team.
In short, in all, of these, exam-
ples the public school adminis-
trator is a "conservative" by
reason of his interest and not by
reason of his attitude toward the
ideology of change. Conserva-
tism is a robe he wears to get
what he wants and nothing more.
The public school administra-
tor may be of a number of legi-
timate conservatives; for exam-
ple, the conservative by accident.
He is not opposed to change. He
is opposed to change in absence
of godo reasons, even if the
change will obviously not work
any detriment. He is an object
at rest. The inertia of his posi-
tion requires gres great energy to ov-
ercome before any program can
begin; on the one hand, we see
him cause the loss of so much
energy in getting him moving
that there is all too often insuf-
ficient energy to successfully
implement the approved change,
on the other hand, he is a hurtle
that must,be overcome by every
wild-eyed progressive and radi-
cal who want change solely be-
cause they are bored with the
present and want the excitement
of watching their proposals im-
plemented without regard to ei-
ther the needs of education or
the will of the people.
Then there is the legitimate
conservative who feels that the
need for change never really
ariss, but if it does, then the
need for change should remain
until such an evil has been work-
ed that at least 51 per cent of
the people are demanding the
change. This conservative would
have us work out a solution only
in the midst of an angry mob.
The reactionary would imple-
ment radical changes to scrap a
decade or more of school admin-
istration policy and "go back to"
some point in the past that is
remembered as being a period
of peace, tranquility, and un-
changing Utopia.

Rev. Sidney Ellis llled a good one on Ted Cannon at
Rotary Club last Thursday. He said he had heard that
Ed Ball was the financial backer of the local bank and
that he was more or ils behind the operation. Now, he
figured, with the appointment of Ted as president of the
bank, they might possibly re-name it, "the Cannon-Ball
express".
Everybody though it was funny but Ted.

must feel like a tooth does when it quits hurting.


Mr. McGovern has changed his mind again. He has
abandoned his plan to give everyone $1,000 out of the
Government treasury when he is elected. I was kind of
looking forward to that $1,000, but to tell the truth, I
hadn't obligated it anywhere. That was one 1,000 bucks
I was going to get in my hand before I spent it.
What I'd like to see is George McGovern get 100 per-
cent behind something and see what happened to it. He
has proved that his "1,000 per cent backing" means it has
a short life.

I was born, raised and educated in Bay County, Florida. I am familiar with
the people of this circuit and their problems.
The law has been my life's work and as a practicing trial lawyer for the past,
24 years, I have tried cases in each county of our 14th Judicial Circuit. In doing
so, I have tried to treat everyone fairly and honestly.
Our judges, state and federal, have appointed me many times to represent
persons who had no counsel. This is a sacred trust which I carried out without
any hope of reward or applause.
My experience is now available to you as your new Circuit Judge.

All major tax collections showed
healthy gains, with an overall in-

Sales tax collections are not an
accurate barometer of Gulf Couni

by local industry in any one month 4
can completely distort the sales

If the power company ...
could store up energy, we could
afford to go to sleep too.
One of the facts of life is that there is no way li
the world we can store up large amounts of /
electricity. Someday maybe, but not yet.
So when is time for you to start cooking, or
turn on the air conditioning, it's time for us to
start producing. To generate the power you
need right then and there.
Now, it's another fact of life that Florida Is
growing. And that by 1980 our customers wil
be needing twice the electricity they're using
today.
Which means we'll be needing twice the
generating capacity. $880 million worth of new
plants, equipment, trucks and people over the
next five years alone. We're planning forthis
and are working to provide it, right now.
It's a big job. That's why none
of us, not Florida and not
Florida Power, can afford
to go to sleep on it.

Russell Kay

You would probably be start-
led and indignant if somebody
called you a slumlord. But you
are just that if you happen to
be an American taxpayer, for
the U.S. Government probably
owns more slum property than
anyone else.
There used to be a time when
"Landlord" was a dirty word.
Now, in major cities, landlords
have been going out of business
so fast it isn't funny.
During the last few years
owners have abandoned 105,000
housing units in New York City
alone, or enough to house the
population of Newark, N. J., if
they were occupied.


Celebrates Eighth Birthday


It is no longer profitable to
try and maintain rental property
in most metropolitan slum areas.
In fact, you can build new hous-
ing from the ground up cheaper
than you can rehabilitate the
old structures.
For example, a 36 apartment
building in Boston which was
structurally sound was purchas-
ed by an investor who borrowed
$456,000 from the Federal gov-
ernment to make it habitable
again. It was a sad experience.
Since he renovated the building
insurance rates have doubled,
heating costs have risen 60 per
cent and taxes have gone up 30
per cent. Rental rates sufficient
to meet actual operating costs
are beyond the means of under-
privileged families. The owner
can either default on his mort-
gage, walk away leaving the
white elephant to Uncle Sam, or
continue to operate and lose his
shirt.
Today in all major cities we
find block after block of aban-
doned buildings suitable for
housing that are ghost towns in


the middle of the city. Rat in-
fested with broken windows,
they serve as temporary shelter
for junkies. Many have been des-
troyed by fire of unknown ori-
gin.
People in dire need of housing
are afraid to rent in certain
areas. Vandalism and crime run
rampant. Tenants, particularly
the elderly, are mugged.
It appears that none of the
government's programs to pro-
vide low cost housing have met
with success. Bright young bu-
reaucrats of the numerous agen-
cies set up to solve the problem
have only developed more prob-
lems and more red tape.
In the meantime we continue
to conduct costly surveys, inves-
tigations and hearings to no
avail. Millions of federal funds
go down the drain and we are no
where nearer the answer. Con-
gress studies and ponders but
can't find an intelligent, work-
able answer. It is a pitiful sit-
uation that promises to get
worse before it gets better.

Drivers! Be Alert for Children


The future of many school chil-
dren will depend on the alertness
of drivers as schools open for stu-
dents returning to classes said
the Florida Highway Patrol this
week.


Colonel Eldrige Beach, director
of the Patrol said, "Parents should
set the proper example for other
motorists to follow when driving
in school zones. Drivers can make
a contribution to the education of


ELECT

Florida's school children by driv-
ing carefully."
Beach said the Patrol's accident
statistics show that during the
1971-72 school year in Florida
there were 74 pedestrians of school
age killed and 1,750 injured. There
were 29 school-age bicyclists killed
and 1,633 injured.
Motorists were cautioned by the
Patrol Commander to be especially
alert for groups of children along
buses and in busy areas surround-1
ing schools.


Beach concluded by saying,
"Keep in mind that young pedes.
trians and bicyclists don't always
remember their safety rules so
I drivers must remember theirs."

It's A Squash
It may look like a giant cu-

Wesley Ramsey grew it this sum-

DEMPSEY


THE VOICE OF COMMON SENSE


FOR NORTHWEST FLORIDA


While our country faces difficult times, we in
North Florida face great opportunities. The first
order of business is to use COMMON SENSE in
solving the problems. We must preserve at all costs
the individual freedom of each citizen to pursue his
or her profession, business, job or individual activi-
ty without unnecessary governmental interference.
Inflation must be halted.
Excessive taxation, which kills the initiative of


business and individuals must be stopped. The re-
alignment of the Legislature, leaving only 10 Sena-
tors North of Orlando, will cause by seniority in the
Senate to be most valuable to North Florida in the
next four years. I will use a common sense approach
in the Legislature, but I cannot do it without your
help. I need and deeply appreciate the support of
each citizen of District 3.

Division of Forestry Taking

Orders Now for Seedlings


From July 1 until October 1
each year, the Division of Forestry
accepts orders for seedlings for
sale at cost from state nurseries.
Last year, a record year for nur-
sey sales, the Division produced
and sold 63 million bare root and
potted tree seedlings for use by
landowners, civic groups and bus-
inesses interested in landscape or
reforestation projects.
Eighteen species and varieties
of trees are cultivated in Florida's
three nurseries, Andrews near
Chiefland, Munson near Milton
and Herren near Punta Gorda.
Each nursery stocks only species
which are suited to its area and
climate. /
While the seedlings brochure
lists subtropical varieties-Euca-
lyptus and South Florida slash
pine-such trees are only recom-
mended for areas below the Lake-
land to Tampa line.
As in years past, standard pine
varieties are offered. This includes
North Florida slash pine, high gum
yield slash, sand pine, loblolly
pine and longleaf pine, available
at $7.00 per thousand plus ship-

ping costs. Fastest-growing of the
pines is the North Florida slash.
This year, an improved slash pine
seedling is being offered for the
first time. It is a genetically su-
perior tree stock, which has been
tested to be 15 per cent hardier
and, of more rapid growth than
normal slash pines. There is a lim-
ited supply of the new improved
seedlings. They are priced at $10
per thousand,
A pine that has grown in favor
for street planting is the sand
pine. Its "native appearance" in
shape intrigues many, and it is
ideal for small areas.
Hardwoods available at all three
nurseries are: Arizona cypress,
($12.00 per M); catalpa, ($12.00 per
M); tupelo gum, ($18.00 per M);
sweet gum, ($18.00 per M); and
cottonwood cuttings, ($18.00 per
M). The available supply of red
cedar has been depleted, and
there are a very limited supply of
sycamores ($18.00 per M). Check
with your Division of Forestry of-
fice to make sure that there are
still seedlings in stock for hard-
wood species before ordering.
Potted stock is available all
year from Herren Nursery in Pun,
ta Gorda, the only nursery which
supplies ornamentals and tropical
commercial species. All species are
sold at $25.00 a hundred, plus de-
livery charge to the nearest Divi-

equally rewarding in this unique
kind of fishing.
There are two schools of thought
on these nocturnal trips according
to Commission Wildlife Officers.
In one, a gas lantern is used to
lure the fish to the fisherman. In
the other, the fisherman goes to
where he thinks the fish will be
feeding.
If you are not sure where that
"right spot" is, you can create,
your own. A strong light, a gas


If you are the aggressive type,
you can go find the fish. Best bet
is to scull, paddle, row, or drift
along the edge of the bonnets cast-
ing into the shallows where fish
are feeding.
Surface lures work best, espec-
ially those that make a commo-
tion when retrieved. These would
include poppers, chuggers, flut-
terers, and surface lures with spin-
ners. If you can, use a black pat-
tern as the bass will see the silhou-
ette of the lure against the sky.
Live bait is ,a good night time
technique for lanterning or walk-
ing. So if you haven't tried this
seductive fishing technique, go do
it! There is something about a
dark lake at night that makes the
trip worth while even if they are
not biting.
