In a. game of musical
chairs Port St. Joe's new city
commissioners took their
offices Tuesday afternoon to
begin new two year terms.
Commissioner Frank 'Pate
and Mayor Tom Coldewey
exchanged seats, installing
Pate as Mayor and Coldewey
as Commissioner. Robert L.
Holland was re-seated as
Commissioner. The oath of
office was administered by
City Auditor' and Clerk
Charles Brock.
As his first official duty,
Mayor Pate assigned various
departments of city services
to the charge of the various,
commissioners. Commis-
sioner Coldewey was put in
charge of Public Works;
Commissioner Holland,
Wastewater treatment plant
a.nd recreation; Commis-
sioner George Wimberly in
charge of the Hospital,
'Commissioner Benny Roberts
in charge of, the Water and
Sewer Departments. The.
Mayor took the duties of the
"Police and Fire Departments
and the City Hall under his
own supervision.
Pate made several obser-
vations in taking over his
new duties. He asked the
Commission to think over the
possibility of appointing a
Hospital Board apart from
the Commission. He noted
that the Hospital is in
considerably better condition
than it was two weeks ago
with the patient census
growing. The Mayor also
recommended a Work Order
system be installed to better
correllate the various pro-
jects undertaken by City
,:crews: 'Hl-also recommended
a card file be set up to keep
up with costs of every vehicle"
operated by the City.
CHARGES FLY
Commissioner Benny Rob'-
erts upset the usual calm and
amiable atmosphere of the
Commission meeting Tues-
day afternoon when he asked
the City's policy for renting
City. heavy equipment. Rob-
erts pointedly asked Com-
missioner Holland about his
use of the equipment on
occasion and how it was
handled.
Holland replied, "When I
have used the equipment I
have instructed the Superin-
tendent to keep time on the
use and turn it in for billing
and I have paid every
invoice." Holland went on to
say he only used the
equipment when he had a
need which he couldn't fill
with his own machines. He
also pointed out he furnished
the use of his equipment- to
the City at .no charge when
they needed it.
Commissioner Colde-


wey and Mayor Pate both
defended the practice saying
the City hak Always made it
a practice of renting the
heavy equipment to those
who needed it in an'
emergency.
Commissioner Wimberly
said, "I know there has been
no wrong doing, but, you're
right.... it just doesn't look
right for Commissioners to be
using City equipment, even
when it's paid for."
Coldewey interjected with,
"It's wrong for us as
Commissioners to do it, but if
we were just private indi-
viduals, taxpayers, then it
would be alright."
Holland, who was the sub-
ject of the discussion in the
first place then suggested
there be no rental at all of
the equipment except to
priv-ate cjti7.ns
Mayor Pate asked the
Board not to reach a decision
at this time, but to think
about it until the -next
meeting so a fair and
equitable policy regarding
the matter, could be arrived


Thieves Take Money


For the second week in a
row, the Gulf County Sheriff's
Department has been faced
with a breaking and entering
case.
According to information
released by the office of
Sheriff Raymond Lawrence,
thieves entered the office of
the Wood's Fisheries com-
pany onr the Gulf County
Canal some time Sunday
night and took about $60.00 in
cash.
Indications were that the
thieves broke open the door
lock with a pair of ice tongs
to gain entry. Woods said
the tongs did not belong to
their place of business and
must have been brought to
the scene of the crime by
the burglars.
Sheriff's Department offi-
cials say they have some
leads on the case but are not
ready to make an arrest at
this time.

EDITORIALS
Man. '


World "Patsy'


el: John Chamberlain put it very
^well in his syndicated column last
:week when he asked,"Why should
'the United States be the patsy nation,
of, the World?"
Chamberlain pointed out the' ex-
perience of our nation in flooding the
world with gift machinery in' our
'"Lend-Lease" program (which has
'has turned into a "give away" in-
stead of a, "lend"); our free dollars
>Ithrough the Marshall Plan and let
our grain sfirplus dribble away and
shoot the prices of, foodstuffs sky
'high here 'in our nation -in order to
"'help our neighbor nations.
The result has been obvious. We
Snmeet criticism from every angle and
'have our economy eroded by what
appears to: be a deliberate attempt
to make our dollar worthless.
Chamberlain says we are again
becoming the patsy in the energy
situation. We try to preserve the
!eqology by heavily regulatingg our
.ieiergy -indufstries,.-'-Meanwhile, our'


chief competitors' are building nuc
lear power, plants right 'ad left ir
order to compete with us and as
result will produce -mqr, nuclear
power than we in just a few shor
years and hang the damage to th
environment.
While Chamberlain didn't say i
what he intimated was, we may hav
to take a back seat tc'psome of ou
stiffest competitors because of ou
largess in trying to "develop" then
as nations. In the meantime the;
stand a very good chance of taking
over our position as the richest na
'tion in the world, then the next ste]
is to take us over. This they wil
have -to do, since we will have the
only unpolluted water and air on
earth.
Maybe some sort of cure for our
'position as "patsy" will come out of
the President's talks with French
President Pompideau and a probably
" conference with .the rest -dfathi
,d iworld's leaders?- u


Smart Move Men


The Gulf County Commission
Deserves a great big bouquet of or-
Schids for their decision to build a
new library in the County, using the
lion's share of their Federal, Revenue
Sharing Funds to do it.
It's ironic that Gulf County, here
long enough for the state, to have its
beginning here, isn't mature enough
as yet fo have a public library 'build-
ing. Every mature, established area
should 'have a library building--as
well as their city halls, court, houses,
/' etc. r .
A new library building will offer
more than satisifed pride to the
county. The Northwest Florida Re-
gional Library system has many val-
uable programs and services which
would be of a benefit to Gulf County


and its citizens, if only a place .were
available to utilize these services.
The construction of a handsome and
serviceable library building will
move the present facilities from their
cramped rented quarters into a per-
manent location with ample room to
provide every service offered' by the
parent and state libraries as they are
nedeed or requested in the county.
Again we are reminded that
Gulf County has a reputation of hav-
ing the good things of life. If the
county finds it needs something, it
just goes out and gets it. We are
the envy of other counties in this re-
spect. The building of modern li-
brary facilities can strengthen the
pride of the county's citizens as well
as provide needed services.


Jollies
/


Watching the Indianapolis 500.
on television during the three starts
and ultimate finish made in the race
turned our blood cold.
The numeral "500" may be de-
rived from the number of miles tra-
veled in the race, but they could just
as well denote the number of ways
'a fellow could get himself killed by
participating in the event.
The money and lives wasted in
this so-called sporting event was ap-
palling. Two killed and two seriously
injured for the entertainment of 300,-
000 people is too high a price to pay
for meriment. People can get just as
many jollies going to Vietnam or
Cambodia and watch the men get kil-
led in the battles for Hue or Pnom
Phen. We understand during the


Civil War, the gentry of Washington,
D. C., use to ride out to the hill top
and watch the battle going on in the
low lands below.
Some people's idea of "entertain-
ment" is just short of morbid.
It takes some kind of special
fool in the first place to drive an
automobile around a circle .up to 200
miles per hour. Just because he's
inclined to self destruction or else
doesn't care, doesn't meanriwe should-
n't care.
We get no particular charge out
of seeing two or three expensive cars
run together in a flaming ball of fire
and flying wheels, barbecuing the
men strapped inside. But, let a 250
pound tackle grab a 180 pound quar-
terback and break his leg . .

Perspective

on


by DR. BOB N. THORNTON
Professor of Education
University of West Florida


f In! our last-column we dis-
h cussed the impact the launch-
. ing of the first 'Russian
SateJlite had,on the education
e' 6f gifted ) children in ] this
country During the late
1950's Vice-Admiral H.. G.
Rickover recommended early
segregation of the "talented
child from the average and a
much tougher curriculum.
Deriding the schools for their
courses in "'cooking and
canasta," he warned 'that
Russia's real threat to the
.United States 'would come
"through their educational
and not through their mili-'
1 tary processes".." In his
attacks on, the "Education-
ists" he was supported by the
Council for Basic Education,
a group with headquarters at
Washington, D.C. Our schools
were too soft, the C.B.E.
claimed;, life adjustment
programs and "frills and'
fads" should be eliminated.
As the controversy raged
through the nation, certain
facts emerged. Only one of
every seven high school
students was studying a
modern language. Worse yet,
about 40 per cent of those
who entered college never
finished. On the latter subject
your writer reiterated an old
charge that study skills
should be taught in the high
school but they aren't.
Some private prep schools
have courses in how to study, \
but you will find them in only
a handful of public schools.
At least half the college
drop-outs possessed the tools-
intelligence and ambition-but
had never been taught how to
use them.
Meanwhile, the schools


From The Living Bible

And ,remember, that your
heavenly Father to whom
you pray has no favorites
when he judges. He will "
judge you with perfect jus-
tice for everything you dq;
so act in reverent fear o'f
him from now on until you
get to heaven. God, paid a
ransom to save you from
the impossible road to
heaven which your fathers
tried to take, and the ran-
som he paid was not mere
gold or silver, as you very
well know. But he paid for
you with the precious life-
blood of Christ, the sinless,
spotless Lamb of God.

were making .a concerted
drive to. atone for their sins.
At first, the rush was toward
bigger- and, better programs
in science and mathematics,
but the proponents ot.. the
humanities protested, immed-
iately that, a well-rounded
person needed to be versed in
literature, languages, and the
like. Early in the 1960's the
Ford Foundation backed
their ca use by awarding. a
ten-year grant of approxi-
mately six million dollars to
aid scholars working in non-
scientific fields. Eventually
most schoolmen agreed that
it 'was not an either-or
situation; training in both the
sciences and the humanities
was essential for the gifted.

To The Editor


Dear Editor:
I agree with your editorial
comment about the pollution
problem that is being created
at St. Joe Beach.,
This is a very serious
problem which could contam-
inate the Gulf waters to the
extent, that the entire Bay
could be closed to fishing and
swimming. Think what this
could do to the economy of
this portion of the county.
So far the County Commis-
sioners have shown very little
interest to this area of the
county. The children do not
have a playground, a ball
park or anything. Groups of


citizens have begged the
Commissioners for a ball
park and all they ever get is
a promise. Empty promise.
Drainage. ditches are a
disgrace& to the County.
Nothing is being done to
correct this problem.
. Before anything else is
done, the 'County Commis-
sioners should pass a zoning
code to prohibit any further
building between the highway
and the Gulf water at St. Joe
Beach until such time as a
water and sewerage system
can be established, to prevent
contamination of the waters.
This is a serious problem that

Now we're in the hurricane season. That's
good, because now we can quit worrying'about
the, tornadoes.
Tornadoes usually aren't our "storm" since
all we ever see of the destructive funnels is a
small one or two after a hurricane passes. At
that, they are mild ones as tornadoes go.
The first hurricane will be named Alice.
What ever happened to the resolve to be-
gin naming some of the hurricanes after men?
The coming of hurricane season also means
summer is here. Anybody who thinks otherwise
after the past few days should get out of the air
conditioning for a while.
With the lazy days of summer here; school
out; hurricane season here and the prospective
contestants named, it's time to go fishing. Now
if we can just get the river down to fishing depth.
*
Speaking of the river depth that was a
smart move by the County Commission recently
to become a member of the Tri-River Develop-
ment Association. Gulf County has been a mem-
ber for years, but it has been left to private indi-
viduals, companies and organizations to keep the
membership alive and active. This -has all been
done by volunteers and they have performed a
great service for the county and its welfare.
We feel membership in this organization is
too important to leave to volunteers. The Apala-
chicola River system and its shipping means a
great deal to the future of Port St. Joe as a major
seaport, and we should have a part in seeing it
come about.

Vice President Spiro Agnew says the United
States should get to the ultimate bottom of Wa-
tergate as quickly as possible and do with it what
deserves to be done. He says we should quit
dragging this dirty wash through the papers day
after day and get it over with.
We agree with the Vice President on this
point but disagree with him on another. The
Gallop Polls show the average American isn't
much interested in Watergate, but he is concerned
with rising prices and the criminal getting a bet-
ter shake from the law than the ,victim.
Mr. Agnew says thisjsntcp/t The Vice-Pres-
ident has been pretty adept- at discerning the
feeling of the people in the past. How has he
missed so badly now? Most people we talk to,
down ih our neck of the woods are sick and tired
of reading about Watergate and will be more than
happy when it disappears. I don't think we are
too different from the average American.
*
Last week the dollar was still declining on
the European markets and the price of gold going
up. After the mad scramble the Europeans had
in getting their hands on a pile of American dol-
lars it just doesn't seem consistent to try and run
down their value, while all the while seeking even
more.
I can't get too disturbed 'about the Europeans
having their dollars decline in value, though.
They're no better than we are to own a batch
of money getting less valuable each passing day.

Pollution

Progress
,Harold Quackenbush,
chief .chemist of St. Joe
Paper Company told the
Rotary Club last Thursday,
there has been tremendous
progress in controlling pollu-
tion here in Port St. Joe
during the past two years. He
specifically cited as exam-
ples, steps taken by St. Joe
Paper to clean up air and
water emissions and the
construction of the new
Wastewater Treatment plant.
Rules. and regulations are
tough, Quackenbush said
pointing out the fact the U. S.
Corps of Engineers now
require a permit be obtained
for dumping if any foreign
matter into navigable waters.
The speaker hit at the
"hurry up" tactics of the
environmentalists which have
resulted in laws being passed
which stifle instead of help
the control of. pollution. "No-
body wants to pollute the
world" Quackenbush said,
"but by the same token we
cannot stifle normal growth".
The speaker predicted that
with technology studying the
problem, there will be
virtually no pollutants being
dumped in the nation's
waterways by 1985 with the
development of new treat-.
ment techniques. "The- tools

Mother to guests at small son's birthday party:
"Remember, children, there will be a special prize
for the boy who goes home first."


Some folks spend so much time watching their
health, they don't have time to enjoy it.

A good salesman is someone who has found a cure
for the common cold shoulder.

A lot of books could be improved if their covers were
moved closer together.

When we were borrowing customs from older
cultures, who was the idiot who passed up the siesta?

Power Gets Degree


More than 1850 candidates
received degrees at the
University of Denver's com-
mencement ceremonies at 10
a.m., Saturday, June 2 in


Stadium Field.
Among the candidates
receiving degrees was John
Power of Port St. Joe, who
resides at Gulf Sands Motel.


Take a closer look at a



Frigidaire Room Air Conditioner...


10. Metal-to-metal contact
is minimized throughout.
Modern man-made ma-
terials are used to insulate,
-isolate vibration and in
many models, eliminate
the need for noisy, bolted
together, sheet metal
construction.


11. Styrofoam cushion under
cooling coil acts as both an
insulator and sound reducer.





V^


12. Solid Front Panel (most
models) isn't just for decora-
tion. It's actually a sound
baffle. Room air is pulled
around, not through the panel.
AJ .-*. .-.* -i-.


Floating Suspension
suspends entire mechanism
on shock absorbing springs
(some models).
Mufflerjin the cooling unit
quiets noise o ,, ,paErding
gas much like the muffler
on a car (some models).


Powerful, yes. Noisy, no. Here's
why. There are three basic
things to cause noise
in an air conditioner.
1 ihe compressor -
2. the fan motor
3. rushing sounds of air.
Frigidaire combats these three
noise sources with many engi-
neering features.
For example:
1. Cushioned air channels are
lined with asbestos neoprene
or fibrous glass to absorb the
sound of rushing air (most
models).
2. Compressor is sealed in
steel and is cushion mounted
to cut down the vibration of
moving parts.
3. Cooling coil, condenser and
compressor are balanced to
work together with utmost effi-
ciency. This allows quieter fan
speeds without sacrificing
cooling or moisture removal
capabilities.
4. Air passages are cut at pre-
cise angles to minimize air
sound.
5. Insides of scroll are silk-
smooth so the air flows freely
with less'drag on the motor
(most models).
6. Compartment divider and
fan scroll is lined with insu-
lating material; air discharge
opening is isolated with poly-
urethane foam. These materials
baffle sound and absorb vibra-
tion (most models).
7. Centrifugal. cooling fan is
used to provide a low noise
level (most models).
8. Condenser propeller fan is
attached to the drive hub with
a rubber mounting. This iso-
lates fan motor vibration from
the fan blades.
9. Fan motor is mounted on
neoprene to absorb virbration.

Dredging
MOBILE, ALA. Colonel
Harry A. Griffith, U. S. Army
District Engineer at Mobile,
said this week that a draft
environmental statement for
performing continuing main-
tenance dredging of Port St.
Joe Harbor, has been trans-
mitted to the President's
Council on Environmental
Quality (CEQ) and that
copies have been forwarded
to Federal, State, and local
government agencies and to
conservation and other inter-
ests for review and comment.
Comments and recommenda-
tions received by the Mobile
Engineer District from
reviewing agencies and indi-
viduals will be incorporated
in a final environmental
statement, which will be
transmitted to CEQ by the
Corps of Engineers, accord-
ing to Colonel Griffith.
The National Environmen-
tal Policy Act of 1969 requires
that statements setting out
the environmental effects of
Federal projects be submit-
ted by the responsible agen-
cies to CEQ.
The action involves dredg-
ing to maintain the author-
ized depths in the entrance
channel and the inner harbor
channels in St. Joseph Bay.
All spoil material will be
placed in diked areas on
land.
Colonel Griffith said that
r comments on the environ-
mental effect of the mainte-
Snance dredging operations
are solicited. Interested indi-
viduals and groups can
obtain a copy of the draft
environmental statement by
writing or telephoning the
Army Corps of Engineers
District Office at Mobile.
Written requests should be
-addressed to the U.S.Army
Engineer District, P.O. Box
2288, Mobile, Ala 36628;
telephone requests should be
made to (205) 473-0311, Ext.

The Gulf County School
Boad met in regular session
6n May 8, 1973. The
following members were
present: Gene Raffield,
Chairman; Herman Ard;
Wallace Guillot; J. K. Whit-
field and William Roemer,
Sr.
The Superintendent and
Attorney were present.
The minutes of the regular
meeting of April 3, special
meetings of April 5, April 9,
and April 17, were read and
approved as read. Motion by
Whitfield, and seconded by
Roemer. Motion was unani-
mously carried.
On motion by Whitfield
and seconded by Roemer,
bills in the amount of
$56,984.38 were examined and
ordered paid.
Due to hearings concerning
expulsion of students, motion
was made by Whitfield and
seconded by Roemer, to
postpone the agenda until a
meeting held on May 15, 1973
at 9:00 a.m., EDT. The
motion was unanimously


10, 1973 to consider the'
evidence, and therupon made
the following findings of fact:
1. On April 8, 1973 a group
of black students entered the
commons area of Port St. Joe
High School among whom the
identity of Anthony Jackson,
Archie Shackleford, Mitchell
Gainer and Bernard Wilson
was established, and did pick

up chairs and throw them at
tables where white students
were seated for lunch during
the 4A period. Additionally,
Anthony Jackson, Archie,
Shackleford and Bernard'
Wilson were in violation of
the rules at Port St. Joe High
School by their presence in
4A during that period and
obviously came to such area in
support of a plan to create a
disturbance.
2. The evidence reflected
that after the law enforce-
ment officers arrived at the
scene and separated the
students, black and white, in
separate areas, that Calvin
Julius picked up a stick and
waved it in a threatening
manner in the air after being
warned to disperse and
prepare to load in a bus by
law enforcement officers, and

Information on the amount
of private investment in
project-related structures and
industries which have been
attracted to the area by
reason of low-cost water
transportation is not present-
ly available, but it is known
to be substantial. If the 9-foot
project depth is not provided
and reliably maintained for
at least 95 percent of the
time, the adverse effect on
river traffic can be expected
to result in serious deprecia-
tion or loss of the above
investments.
PLAN A
Complete Canalization-
Four locks and dams would
be constructed to canalize
about 90 miles of the river to
provide the total lift of 44 feet
from tidewater to tailwater
at Jim Woodruff. This plan,
with its slackwater pools,
would provide, a dependable
9-foot channel throughout the
low water season. A channel
width of more than 150 feet
would be provided for most of
the pool lengths and the
minimum 9-foot depth would
be exceeded for long reaches
in the lower ends of the pools.
However, reconnaissance
field surveys revealed that in
the lower half of the reach
which was considered for
canalization, the banks were
so low that extremely long
dearth dams would be requir-
ed and the pools behind these.
dams woula spread out over
the wide flood plains. These
broad shallow pools would'
require extensive land acqui-
sition and clearing, and
would present a serious and
continuing problem in aqua-
tic plant and mosquito
control. It was concluded that
the two lower dams would not
be desirable economically or
-environmentally.
PLAN B
Two Dams with Dredging-


THE STAR. Port St. Joe. Fla.


This plan would retain the
two upstream dams, at
Suttons Lake, about 1 mile
downstream from the Cal-
houn Bridge at Blountstowin
and at Muscogee Lake, about
3 miles downstream of
Estiffanulga. The reservoirs
formed by these dams during
low flow season would be 27
and 17 miles long, respective-
ly, with average widths of 680
and 600 feet. They would be
confined between the river's
natural banks, except at
tributary entrances and the
lowermost reaches of the
reservoir. These two dams
would eliminate 45 miles of
natural stream and the
anadromous fish, particularly
sturgeon and striped bass,
would be drastically reduced
or eliminated in the same
reach. A significant archeo-
logical site would be affected
by the Suttons Lake Dam as
the site is presently laid out.
Wildlife habitat in the
amount of 4,500 acres would
be eliminated, as would 500
acres of freshwater marsh.'
Intense control of mosquitoes
and aquatic plants would be
required in the reservoirs.
The reach between the
Muscogee Lake Dam and
.tidewater would be maintain-
ed by dredging. In the past
this reach has required only
about 30 percent of the
maintenance dredging per-
formed. Preliminary work
indicated that if the same
amount of dredging was
continued, project depth
would be available about 88
percent of the time. A
greater intensity of dredging
would provide that depth for
longer periods. Studies are
continuing on the dredging
plan.

PLAN C
Two Dams with Canaliza-
tion of the Lower Chipola
River- This plan would
retain the same two up-
stream dams discussed under
Plan B. In addition, that


THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 1973


reach of the Chipola River
below Dead Lake, including
the Chipola Cutoff and
Brothers River, would be
canalized by a series of rip-
rapped earth dikes with
spillways and overflow sec-
tions which would provide a
narrow pool about 14 miles
long. Traffic Would enter this
pool through a lock at its
lower end reached through a
channel dredged between the
lock and the mouth of
Brothers River. In addition to
those effects discussed for
Plan B, 18 more miles of
natural stream, 10,000 acres
of freshwater marsh, and
10,000 acres of wildlife
habitat would be lost, and
additional archeological sites
affected.
PLAN D
Two Dams with a Canal
between Apalachicola River
and the Gulf Intracoastal
Waterway (GIWW)- This
plan retains the two up-
stream dams discussed under
Plan B. A canal would begin
at the Chipola Cutoff and run
generally southwest for '18


PAGE NINE'


miles to join the GIWW at
mile 321.2, about 5 miles
east-northeast of Mexico
Beach, and 31 waterway
miles east of Panama City.
The canal crosses Chipola
River, but does not effect it
nearly to the extent Plan C.
does. A fixed crest spillway
would be' provided across
Chipola River downstream of
the crossing to control the
low water surface and
prevent diversion of the
Apalachicola River through
the canal section into the
Chipola. A low dike would
paralled the canal through
the flood plain for 'same
reasons. A lock would be
provided in the land cut
portion of the canal, with the
last 6 miles of the canal being
at the same level (tidewater)
as the GIWW. Besides
providing a dependable, year-
round channel, this canal
would reduce the distance
between ports on the river
and ports west of the GIWW
intersection by 42 miles. This
canal would affect about 4,000
acres, some consisting of
freshwater marsh.


County Receives Last

Race Track Payment


Tallahassee- High yields
have allowed Florida's 67
counties to receive their full
share of racing tax revenue a
month early this fiscal year,
Comptroller Fred 0. (Bud)
Dickinson announced today.
Dickinson mailed state
warrants of $32,000 to all
counties, bringing each to the
statutory limit of $446,500 for
the year from this source.
Ordinarily, counties would
not receive the full distribu-
tion until June.
Each county in Florida
shares equally of the racing
pie. When the tax is
collected, approximately half


is deposited in the state's
general fund. The rest is
channeled into a trust
account.
Distribution to each county
is made by Dickinson at
'monthly intervals from the
trust fund. The cost of
operating and collecting the
racing tax is also paid from
the trust fund. Any surplus at
the end of the fiscal year is
placed in general revenue.
The 1971 Legislature im-
posed a cap of $446,500 as the
limit each county can be
given in a fiscal year. The
total distribution to all
counties totals a bit over
$29.8 million.

Ways to Maintain




9 Foot River Channel


The Corps of Engineers is
studying the 107-mile long
Apalachicola River of its
entire length from Jim
Woodruff Lock and Dam to
Apalachicola Bay to deter-
mine what steps, if any, can
be justifiably taken to pro-
vide the authorized 9-foot
project depth throughout the.
year. The study was request-
ed by the U. S. Congress in a
resolution adopted by the
House Public Works Commit-
.tee on June 23, 1971..
In order that the study may
be responsive to the desires
and needs of everyone
affected, a public meeting
will be held at 7:00 p.m.,
C.D.T., cn June 27 in the
meeting room 'of the Holiday
Inn, Marianna.
Ecological and environ-


mental conditions and prob-
lems in the study area will be
discussed.
Generally, the problem is
the lack of a dependable
9-foot navigation channel in
the Apalachicola River which
is a deterrent to development
and utilization of the water-
way and to industrial and
economic expansion in the
tributary area. Recent im-
provements, including dredg-
ing, .cut-offs, dikes, and
revetments, have improved
.the situation somewhat,. bqt
the problem is stiil critical.:
Interests all along the Apa-
lachicola, Chattahoochee, and
Flint Rivers have expended
considerable funds on plant
and dock facilities and desire
assurance that the 9-foot
authorized channel will be

Full. consideration will be
given to the views presented

dation to higher 'authority.
However, this cannot be
taken as an indication that
the Federal Government will
undertake any improvements
or programs. Although the
study may result in recom-
mendations for undertakings
by. the Federal Govewnment,
their accomplishment would
depend' upon subsequent
authorization and funding
by the Congress.
Possible Alternatives

1. If no action is taken
under the authorization for
this study, additional contrac-
tion works may be provided
from the operation and main-
tenance funds for the existing
project which may produce
some further improvement in
navigation depths, however,
it presently appears that
dredging, dikes, and revet-
ments will not provide a
dependable 9-foot channel. A
minimum flow of 13,000 c.f.s.
is now needed for a 9-foot
channel and this flow rate is
equaled or exceeded only
about 75 percent of the time.
For the years 1970-72, project
depth was equaled or exceed-
ed for time percentages
ranging from 51 to 79
percent. Extensive mainite-
nance dredging will still be
required.
In addition to the Federal

Thank you!






For a few days, recently, we lived with the definite threat
of a power shortage. It'didn't happen. One reason it didn't
was because you helped. You turned off air conditioners
- or raised the temperature to 80 degrees. You prepared
the evening meal in the morning. Did the laundry when
you might have been watching the late show.
When the need was greatest particularly between
4 and 8 p.m. you came through by cutting back on the
use of electricity in hundreds of ways.
You helped save the day. And the lights.
We would like to be able to say that we won't need
your help in this way again. If the weather is reasonable
and there is no major power plant breakdown, perhaps we
won't. But if we do, it is comforting to know that we can
count on you. And that you can count on each other.
Our sincere gratitude is one thing. But, beyond that,
there's the pride that you can share in knowing that you
helped avert a power failure.
Thank you.
