JOE, FLORIDA 32456 THURSDAY, SEPT EMBER 7, 1972 Tapper Hono Speaks at D, Of SJB Cou St. Joseph's Bay Country Club paid special tribute Saturday in 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 Corporation Files Papers With Secretary of State Secretary of State Richard (Dick) Stone announced the char- tering of a new corporation in .Port St. Joe this week. N. H. P., Incorporated, doing business at 408 Reid Avenue in Port St. Joe was listed with the Secretary as a new corporation with 500 shares authorized. The petition for charter was filed August 22 and allows the incorporators to deal in any law- ful business. The incorporators listed on the petition ,are Rob- ert B. Nations, Sr., Robert B.

Cigressman Bob Sikes, who Tapr said was solely responsi- blear reviving the project af- ter ie Government had turned do- a request for financing, de- lived the main address of the aftooon. Ses had only good things to say bout the "community en- Sterjse" which was responsible for ie club becoming a reality. TD Congressman also noted ' Por St. Joe's lead in combatt- 'ing pollution in Northwest Flor- i'qa. e especially mentioned the nowvastewater treatment plant whi is the first of its kind in Flora and the lead local indus- try .is taken in cleaning up the envinment. "People want clean watd and air", Sikes said, "and you re taking the steps to get then .. Tt Congressman also took the oppctunity to add his support to Plsident Nixon's actions to- warcthe Vietnam War. "For the first time, the Air Force has beentold to hit targets that need hitting and the North Vietna- mese are feeling it", he said. This remark drew a round of applause from the audience. The awmaker said we cannot abandon our war prisoners in Vietnm. "If we pull out trust- ing tem to return the prisoners they vill only use them for fur- ther olackmail dagairsi. us." He advooted pulling out only when we cld bring the prisoners of war ong. Inr is closing remarks the Cong ssman said, "We must stay irong enough militarily to make our enemies back down. Platform guests for the dedi- catiop were Tapper, Senator Mallo I Horne of Tallahassee, Rev. JeWitt Mathews who pro- nouncd the invocation, Mayor FrankiPate, County Commission Chairman F. R.

It was later mounted on the base of the flagpole in front of the club house. 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 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. Tuesday's Precinct 'Polling Places Tuesday, September 12, Gulf County voters will go to the fol- lowing locations to cast their vote in the first primary. Precinct 1, Wewahitchka - City Hall.

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. E. Farris, Maintenance Engineer with the Department of Trans- portation. The Overtstreet bridge will be open for vehicle traffic on Tues- day, September 12 so people may get to and from the voting polls. 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. Precinct 6, White City-Fire Station.

THIRTY-SlITI YEAR I MWO I-M ri- THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Florida THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1972 Editorials 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 Perspective On Education by DR. BOB M. THORNTON Professor of Education University of West Florida We have seen that political rhetoric; i.e., radical, progres- sive, conservative, and reaction- ary, if accurately used, says more about the public school adminis- trator's personality than it does about his politics.

It can halt the bombing and the suffering and the death any time by agreeing to a cease-frire to discuss terms. -Syracuse (N.Y.) Herald Journal 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 an "illegitimate conservative", There are other examples of an "illegitimate conservative", for instance, conservative be- cause of interest. His job may be at stake, or the proposed change may require additional abilities or skills, for example, the elimination of arithmetic for "new math". He may see one of PAGETW The public school administra- tor who is progressive by action but conservative by accident can issue an administration which solves problems effectively with necessary changes while leaving unmoved the "cornerstone of our public school system." 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.

Whichever way t vote goes, I can just imagine those running wilf heave a igh of relief come Tuesday night about 7:00 p.m. and tiey can once again go back to liv- ing normal lives and 1he pressure of having to see "that last person before I uit for the day" will be over. It 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.

RICHARD (Dick) STONE SECRETARY of STATE (SEAL) Wy s FRED TURNER Yo-r estce or rcut ude A Experienced 24 years as trial lawyer * Married 27 years, 3 children * Lifetime Resident of Bay County 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. Elect W. FRED TURNER CIRCUIT JUDGE GROUP 4 inson reported. All major tax collections showed healthy gains, with an overall in- crease of 38 per cent over July - 1971. Sales tax collections are not an accurate barometer of Gulf Couni ty business since heavy purchases, by local industry in any one month 4 can completely distort the sales tax as a guide to business activity.

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.

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.

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." ^ ^ ^l II I "66" Station iP F'78-15 (7;75-16) 078-15 (825-16) H78-16 (856-151 J7845 5375 41" 58m7 4360 640 4640 71nn A nae 2.54 2.53 2.74 -Vt It's A Squash It may look like a giant cu- cumber or a long guord or may- be a string bean from the valley of the jolly green giant, but ac- tually it's a long, slender squash.

SENATOR 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. -DEMPSEY J.

(Paid Political Advertisement) 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- Major Peter D. Hidalgo Major Hidalgo In Charge of Arsenal 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.

Marion Craig William Roemer Superintendent Chairman 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. Re-Elet --- F. R.
