Gulf County Tax Assessor Samuel A.
Patrick said Tuesday taxable property in
the county will be assessed at a .higher
valuation in the tax year starting in October
of this year.
Patrick said that, at the direction of the
,'State Revenue Department, Gulf's property
valuation is being raised by about 18 percent
:over last year. Cards stating the higher
\aui:tAi .'.,f property have been sent out to
the property owners during the past week.

Dead Lakes are dying.
Even though the famous
lakes in North Gulf County
have been, known by that
slightly morbid name for as
long as the white man has
known of their existence its
name came from the many
thousands of cypress stumps
in the water which, according
to lore, died from flooding
centuries ago. But the lakes
are really dying now to
match their famous name. -
Weeds are killing the lakes
for anything except as a bed


Port St. Joe's Dixie Youth
All-Stars are the second best
Dixie Youth team in the State
of Florida.
The All-Stars lost their first
game in the State Tourna-
ment held in Pensacola last
week then had to win all the
way to stay in contention for
the State crown. They went
right down to the finals
before losing 5-1 to Ferry
Pass in the finals Friday.
Port St. Joe's first game
and loss was to West
Pensacola Monday of last
week. Thursday, the All-Stars
met West Pensacola and
squeezed out a 2-1 victory in
a thriller.
Pensacola's catcher, Tou-
art, gave his team a quick
lead in the second when he
singled and scored on an
error.
In the bottom of the second
Port St. Joe's left fielder,
Paul Mispell got on base
when he was hit by the
pitcher and scored on an
error. Duane McFarland,
shortstop, collected a single
and came home on a
sacrifice fly by the pitcher,
Craig Weimorts. for the last
and deciding run.


Patrick said the re-assessment of real
property was necessary before the State
would accept Gulf's tax rolls this' year. "I
feel sure they will 'accept our rolls as they
are presented because they made the
assessments", Patrick said.
Last year Gulf County taxable property
had a valuation, of $53 million. This year
Patrick said 'the valuation, will be around
$63.5 million. "A definite figure hasn't been
arrived at yet", Patrick said, "because
there were several errors on the rolls when
the' addition was done and ,all of these
-:oiri-t.:. haven't been made as yet.",
"Still Golf Counti is .rit o6 The rolh 'at
100 percent of value", Patrick said. The full
value is the target of the State Revenue
Department for every county in the state.


to grow more weeds. The
lakes have always had weeds
in the past, but just enough to
enhance 'the growth of the
shell cracker, bream and
bass which used them for a
hiding place in which to grow
and feed. Nothing like the-
choking mass of weeds that
are now choking the lakes,
making them unfit for the
game fish and certainly unfit
for running a motor and boat
through the water. I

from? Studies have been

outs when Chuck Pollock

Ferry Pass exploded for
four runs in the bottom of the
fourth off two hits, both

the fifth inning to earn their
5-1 victory and the state
championship.

made by the Florida Game
and Fresh Water Fish
Commission and. engineers
hir-ed by the Dead Lakes
Water Management Com-
mission. Their theory is that
the weeds have -always been
there, but periods of high
water have washed them on
down river before they could
gain hold and begin multi-
plying to the point where they
would completely choke the
stream which flows through
the lakes.'
With the installation of the
Dead Lakes Dam some years
back, .the weeds can no
longer wash down stream.
They are staying in the lake
and completely stopping it
up.
So what to do?
On the advice of those who
have made studies of the
Lakes problem, the Dead
Lakes Management have
borrowed money and re-
ceived grants from the
Federal Government and the
State of Florida to construct
a by-pass around the dam at
a cost of around a quarter
million dollars. The by-pass
will allow the lakes to be
drained periodically to allow
the sun to get to the weeds,
left high and dry by the
receding water. It seems the
pesky weeds can't stand
sunlight, like the vampire
they are proving to be.
Plans now are to, drain the
Lakes in the fall, when the
Chipola and Apalachicola
Rivers are at their lowest ebb
and fishing activity in the
Lakes also at a reduced rate.
The Lakes are fed directly by
the Chipola River and indi-
rectly by the Apalachicola
River during times of high
water.
Now under construction is
a giant drain with a gate at
.the lower end which will do
the job--of 'draining the
Lakes at least. The device

Gulf County Tax Collector
Harland Pridgeon said this
week, county motorists have
until 5:00 -p.m. Monday to
purchase their new 1974
license tags.
"Tags for cars, trucks,
trailers and mobile homes
must be purchased by this
date or owners will be in
violation of the law", Prid-
geon said.
"Some parts 'of the state
have not yet received their
tags", Pridgeon said, "but
this is not the case in Gulf


County. We have plenty of
tags". The Collector said he
knew of no extension of the
deadline for any reason,
including the tag shortage.
"Monday afternoon will be
it", he continued.
Tag buying purchases'were
brisk this week and Pridgeon
said, the pace would go from
brisk to hectic the latter part
of the week and on Monday.
"Those who wait until the
last minute will wait for
several more minutes, in all


Increase 18/o


Patrick pointed out that last year county
real property was assessed at approximate-
ly 76 percent of full value. This year it will
be assessed at about 85 percent.
The Tax Assessor pointed out that in the
assessing process, several homes were put
on the tax rolls which were not taxable in
years past because of homestead exemption,
"All home owners will still get the
advantage of the homestead exemption",
.Patrick said, "but the increasing valuations
makes all homes more valuable for taxing
purposes, thus increasing their values above
the $5,000.00 exemption limitil"
"" The increase- 'in' valuat' i ill be'
reflected in a reduction of millage, since
Florida law requires a reduction in millage
by the same percentage as the increase in



The Gulf County School
Board revealed their new
budget this week for fiscal
1974 which shows an increase
over last years total and a
very slight decrease in
millage levied.
The School Board will have
a total operating budget of
$2,462,218.80. Last year's op-
.erating budget was $2,351,-
227.00.
The millage levy will be
reduced by four tenths of a
mill in the new year.
A bigger tax bite will be
placed on County tax payers
in the new budget due to a
reduced contribution from
the state of Florida from
what was expected. Local
taxes will finance $608,640
this coming year as opposed
to $489,680 in the year just
completed.
Other sources of income
are: $108,776.90 cash on hand,
down $102,000 from last year;
State and Federal, $1,679,-
791.90. up $79,000 over last
year and $65,010 from other
sources.


valuation. While this doesn't ne':-io;.J.
mean a reduction in tax dollars collected,
the County Commission did accomplish that
feat in their budget for the new year by
reducing the millage and the amount of tax
dollars to be collected.
'The School Board, however, had to tax
the legal limit because of a reduction in
state funds because of a new "cost of ....
formula adopted by the State Department in.
their formula for distributing the state
funds.
An equalization has tentatively been set
for Thursday, Aug;ui ."R8 l. to.,e '.vho wish
''to protect their aiu iions to ,be he,r~
Makipg up the Equalization Board will be
three members of the County Commission
and two members of the School Board.


On the expenditure side of
the ledger, the Board will
spend $75,000 more for
instructional salaries in the
new year. This is due to an
increase in salary of about
five percent for instructional
salaries. Non-instructional
personnel also received a five
percent raise. The next
highest increase was in Food
Services which jumped $33,-
600 to $135,000. This, of
course, was due to an
increase in the price of food.
Administration was increased
$18,000 to a total of $111,-
534.82.
There were some reduc-
tions in the budget also.
Health Services were reduced
by $3,000 to $3,500 and
reserves were cut to $45,-
274.82 with $85,070 set .aside
for reserves last year.
The debt service budget is
about the same as last year.
This' fund is used to pay off
bonds sold to construct two
new high schools in the
county three years ago. All of
this fund is paid for with
Race Track funds plus a 1.595
levy of millage.


.Capital improvements will
take $162,916.01 to finance in
the new year. Last year an
additional $111,713 was plac-
ed in this budget item.
The Board will levy a
maximum 10 mills in the new
year for the operating budget
and 1.595 for Debt Service.
The 10 mill levy is the
maximum allowed by law
and the Debt Service millage
was voted on by the tax
payers during the school
construction.


likelihood" Pridgeon pointed
out. He also said tag
purchasers would face a
longer wait if they fail to
bring their pre-typed regis-
tration sent out in the mails
last month. "When you bring
this T. :i ,,'..,, with you, all
we have to do is take your
money and give you a tag",
Pridgeon said. If the slips are
left at home, the tag office
must write out a new one and
this holds up the line and
delays the purchaser.

has told the State to buy the
property or allow him to

The Board discussed this
project some time back but
never -ffk ih v requested the
state to make the move. As a
result of the petition jogging
their memory Tuesday they
agreed to petition the state to
purchase the property.
Commissioner Eldridge
Money also requested the
Board to ask the state to
purchase beach front proper-
ty in the St. Joe Beach-Bea-
con Hill area under the same
program. The Board agreed
to Money's -,,f^'..
A",iVf t-, William J. Rish
said he was doubtful if their
state would purchase the
beach property as Gulf
C.,.-dt. does have some
public beach and there are
.h.. 'areas of the state which
have none. He said he would
check on the mottr. how-

their official voice to the

money available for the

Attorney William J. Rish
told Money the Port St. Joe
City Commission had this
maneuver in mind and would
probably call on the County
Commission for support.
"Right now the city is just
sitting tight until more
organizations have time to
get their letters of concern to
the Governor before paying
him a visit", Rish said.

Mosquito Control Supervi-
sor Emmett Daniell told the
Board something should be
done about the St. Joe Paper
Company's freah water

faster than we can kill
them", Daniell said.
The Supervisor went on to
say grass cleaned out of the
canal by the Company is
being piled on the bank and is
"an 18 mile breeding ground
for the flies", Daniell said.
He went on to suggest the

Let's Try It!


We think it's time fo r a little les-
son in government.,
As an example, we'd like to cite
the people! of Apalachicola. For
many years they have depended on
Apalachicola Bay for the backbone
of their economy. The continued
good health of that economy, they
will tell you, depends on a delicate
balance of salt water flowing into the
bay from the Gulf of Mexico and
fresh silt-laden water flowing down
the Apalachicola River and meeting
with the salt water in the bay.
Those who make their living di-
rectly from harvesting: Apalachicola
Bay will tell you that harvest was
curtailed: some with the construction
of Jim Woodruff Dam. They say the
oyster beds have retreated due to a
lack of silt and nutrients, which they
claim is being trapped by the dam.
When the Corps.of Engineers re-
cently came up with a proposal to
Sput more dams on. the jlwer Apalai
Schicola River. the Ssurnras throirgh
past ex.pe'rnnrt. tit t- oysterr beda
and shrimp p',pui6-n.ar w~ridi retreat
even further.
Apalachicola probably has more
factions than any oith-r uw. ;l town
in this area, but wiiLen their bay was


threatened, they got together as one
body. It didn't matter that practi-
cally all of South Georgia 'and Ala-
bama wanted the dams to enhance
river shipping and industries in their
states along the river. Even over
this combined economic force, the
voice of Apalachieola was heard be-
cause they all shouted ri-ithir as
one voice.
The lesson is this.
We have a drawbridge on U. S.
Highway 98 at Highland View which
is causing a great inconvenience to
the people in the Southern half of
Gulf County. The State of Florida
says they have no money a; n;s,. lf
to make the substantial repairs ne-
,'.-.-r, to make the bridge depend-
able. So, we get patch-work repairs
which do not do the job.
It would seem to us, from the
experience of. Apalachicola, that if
the people of th.- Port St. Joe area
wudI go to. TaiBithan.-~ at least 200

From The Brooksville Sun-Journal


Florida Supreme Court



Rule Flouts Constitution


The Supr-T.r.e Court of the
state of Florida, with .:an
incredible burst of strained
logic, has rendered a decision
that flies in the face of the
First Amendment to the
Constitution and muzzles a
free press.
It is our hope i .t. the
court, in its infinte wisdom,,
-will reverse itself on motion
to rehear or-in the ;2'Tri
tive-the decision will :,be
overturned by the United
States Supreme Court. .
On the surface the Florida
court's 6-1 decision seems
fair and logical: Newspapers
must give candidates whom
they criticize in editorials; a
chance to reply.
It is only when one cuts
r.,".--d.., the surface is r-..r
realization that:
1. The court says news-
papers in Florida "must"
print .*.-..: which fair
and .'':*.-..; newspapers
p: -, rint, within reason:
Namely, both sides of a
controversy. (The Sun-Jour-
nal has a long-standing
J,,'o*..,, for instance, in
i15' rr full rl ..,i not
only from candidates criti-
cized but from any r,.u "n,
or citizen so i." :. -
2. The law, as 'r-,,.'.J
now -by the court, .,..,
compel a newspaper to
publish "any. : that 'a
candidate for office may
..make if the newspaper has
v: .'] statements of .,',.-r'
attacking the candidate. The
reply'would not have to be

responsive. The reply could
contain libelous and personal
and slanderous attacks-and
there would be no civil or
criminal protection afforded
the newspapers from legal
action.-
3. Some large newspapers
in metropolitan areas could
cra,:l publish during politi-
cal campaigns because they
would be taking up their
space ; r;n';.,; charges and
replies :from hundreds of
candidates, some of them
real candidates and others
just people who get their
names on the ballot with no
chance of winning or even
affecting the -1'>c:":n,.
THE RULING cameon an
old state law, long considered
,... '. .: -." -*": ; .: and
so ruled by two lower courts
when "a _.-';.- candidate
tested it in a lawsuit against
the M:. :,, Herald.
Too, the statute which the
court' upheld goes far beyond
mere replies to editorial
comment. The Florida stat-
/ ute says that if a :.,:..
' : another free space for
such purposes" *' is,
",p r.c a ...i' '.., or his
record-that politician must
be given equal space to reply.
S Thus, if, for instance, a
candidate for county com-
missioner attacks his oppo-
nents in a campaign speech,.
each opponent must be given
equal space to answer and
the answer must be displayed
exactly as the original story
was Ji 7Liai,' .


That's patently ridiculous
and is an alarming stand
aimed directly at freedom of
the press and the public's
right to know.
ALREADY TOO MANY
newspaper editors have been
cowed into submission and
timidity by the threat, of
expensive lawsuit, by the
fear of economical reprisal,
and by the failure of the
.i :!.,'1 system to protect the
news sources of reporters.
And without a free press,
Heaven'help this nation.
Of course r.,: k. p~ -' could
simply stay out of contro-'
versy, stop attacking politi-
cians, and "..' r... avoid
having anybody invoke the
force law ..,'ir them.
This already is happening
on television, as Gene Patter-
son, editor of the St.
Petersburg Times, so elo-
,u '.:' put it in his Monday
column.
But, like Mr. Patterson, we
hope the Florida court in
S-..-r ,. will go back and
read the '..i.; words, of
Thomas' i, ': ,
"I deplore... the putrid
state into which our news-
.q.' have passed, and the
1e -. --,., the iL: .,' '. and
the mendacious *.;wl of
'i..*. who write them
It is however, an evil for
which th,.r.. is no-remedy.
Our ,to'. depends on the
freedon of the press, and that
cannot, be limited without
1 -,, ost. "


A Good Deal


The State of Florida, through its
Pollution Control Board is giving
Hamilton Kenner fits in his efforts
to develop his property in the swamps
of central Gulf County. They say
his development of the property
through clearing of the land and
.turning it into pasture lands is en--
dangering the ecology of the, Bro-
thers and Apalachicola Rivers.
Kenner, on the other hand, pur-
chased the land :which was only a
liability to other owners ;and felt he
should be able to capitalize on his
investment through development.
Not wishing to appear, to. be a
person who didn't care what happen-
ed to the rivers, Kenner made a pro-
position to the State, He offered to
sell a portion of his property, along
the rivers to the State at the price of
his land purchase plus, clearing costs



-and let the State maintain it as a
watersh'-d for the rivers.
The' S.tltr c-ouldt it.h.'e the
land under its .ndang r.-d wetlands
program. In view of h i.-. we think
Kmrin-r's proposition is fair both for
him and for the Sut.t. of F lr,,i;
Since M K Ranches has made
the fair offer, the State should take
him up on his deal or leave the firm
alone.
If the rivers are going to be
maintained in their present state,
the State of Florida must do some-
thing such as this. The private pro-
perty owners cannot afford to just
continue to pay taxes on land which
can be ,;.i.rni in the eyes of the
Pollution Control Boaid as- .-Aul'.
land. With the price of land today
and the taxes levied, this is a luxury
no private land owner can afford.


Valuations Climb


Notices were put in the mail
last week notifying property owners
of their valuations for the coming
year. Many noticed increases in
their valuations.
In Gulf County, Assessor Sam-
uel A. Patrick has maintained a prac-
tice of assessing property at about
80% of cash value. This practice,
combined with State millage limits,
has maintained a reasonable tax
structure for property owners in the
county.
Recently, though, the State of
Florida has had assessors in Gulf
County changing Patrick's valuations
and bringing them up to their idea
of 100% in valuation.
There is a revival going on in
our country today to do away with
property taxes as unfair and, sup-.
posedly, coming up with a "painless"


method to pay in the same amount
of dollars in another way. This la-
test maneuver is no doubt a form of
squeeze play to pinch the property
tax payer and gain his support in
doing away with the property tax.

We think the property tax
should remain. If a person, pays out
a chunk of money at a certain time
each year, it's going to smart, sure,
but it's also going to make that tax-
payer be informed about where his
money is going.
Too, we can see where taxes by
the "painless" method could take
more of our money each year than
property taxes. At least with pro-
perty taxes we have the controls of
the property's value and mill limits
to sort of safeguard us from a tax
bite becoming a tax gobble.


Visit Old St. Marks Light


On less than a tank of gas,
Big Bend residents and
visitor-s may make the
roundtrip to one of the oldest
and most picturesque light-
houses in the southeastern
United States, situated 30
miles south of Tallahassee.
The St. Marks Lighthouse
was built in 1831 from
limestone blocks originally
used in construction of Fort
San Marcos de Apalache by
the Spanish.
During the War Between
the States, Union soldiers
landed at St. Marks Light in
an effort to capture Tallahas-


see, the only capital east of
the Mississippi that had not
surrendered to the north. The
Union forces were defeated in
the Battle of Natural Bridge
and Florida's capital was
saved.
Visitors may walk the
grounds of the lighthouse
and, during low tide, stroll
the sandy beach to the mouth
of the river.
The lighthouse is situated
in St. Marks National Wildlife
Refuge, one of Florida's most
beautiful natural settings.
Covering more than 67,000


acres, the subtropical virgin
marshlands contain many
species of oak, magnolia,
cabbage palmetto, sweet and
black gum, bald cypress and
Florida holly.
In the sawgrass ponds
throughout the refuge, Can-
ada geese, bald eagles,
anhingas, great blue herons
and many other waterfowl,
as well as alligators are seen.
The St. Marks Lighthouse
and National Wildlife Refuge
offer Big Bend visitors a
glimpse of history in the
setting of a wildlife sanc-
tuary.

BARE STEAK
A headline on the front page of the Talla-
hassee Democrat Friday night proclaimed, "Beef
Price Ceiling Termed Successful".
I'd say that was 100" correct I know, at
our house, we're spending less for beef now than
ever before. In the past our Friday night steak,
Sunday roast, and hamburger and stew beef
during the week has taken a good chunk of our
meat budget. This isn't the case anymore. We
spend hardly any mi:ne.y for beef any more. I
wasn't real sure what the reason was, but it must
be the beef price ceiling which is doing the trick.
Surely the fact that the markets have hardly
any beef to. sell has anything to do with our re-
duction in expenditures for beef. The point is,
we'd buy if it was there to buy and since we're
not spending as much, the price ceiling must be
working. .
One thing about the beef price ceiling and
its :,i nipa.mn'inig attributes, more people are
eating their steak rare these days.

'BLAME YOUR PARENTS
All you -bhubby people take heart. It's not
your fault you're on the portly side.
In a recent report which came out in the
papers last wc,.-k, scin.tiit. have found you have
*more fat cells than slender people. What's more,
tbiy .work better.
The report said every person is born with a
certain amount of fat cells, and he keeps all those
particular cells until the 'd ty he dies. Some peo-
ple hnve more than others. These are the chun-
ky <-,n"s. The fat..,.l-, are in the body for the
pui't ',.e of 4,-iin, up ..ir-,'-bhvda1i:it., for the body
tv ,..- when it needs food. Fat cells do a better
y.,b ,ft i,,ri,,.: in li,,.-- who have more of them.
,.,n.I.quiI ntiv. according to the article, if a
1,-ro'i who. tends to be chunky wants to be slim,
h.r- must diet for his *.-ir.- life. A chunky per-
son who is ,_huniky can lose weight by starvation
dl is I but he puts the blubber right back on the
imnutIa he- g't.-s tt tn,- diet all because of those
e'ticie-nt, h1jrd-vwri- kinf1, plentiful fat cells.
So,, you see, if you're chunky and can't seem,
to lh.-.- weight without -.Ji inr blame it on your
pt;j:nts. They sired you and gave you the genes
>ou hhve.

MADE OUR DAY
I saw Harry Babbitt in town last Thursday
on his annual v ,--ai,,fi from his labors in Thom-
asville, Georgia.
I always have the blahs on Thursday, after
the pressure of getting the paper out the first
three days of the week; but Harry cured them
Thursday. He came on strong with, "I'm always
glad to get the paper. It's such a relief to read
a good paper after a week of putting up with
the one that serves our town".
Talk about handing a starving fox hound a
biscuit!
Words like that can make my day any day
-regardless of the day. It's funny how a few
kind words will perk up our spirits while the det-
rimental mutterings only excite our defensive me-
chanism.
Things like what Harry told us and the fact
we have had to increase our press run over 200 1
in the past two months make life worth living.


Deputy Gives Tips On

Robbery Protection


Sgt. Tom Berlinger of the
Gulf County Sheriff's office
gave Rotarians tips on how to
discourage robberies in bus-
iness houses at their regular
meeting last Thursday.
First, one tries to discour-
age robberies with the install-
ation of alarms, lights, mir-
rors, cameras and other
deterrants of crime.
"If a robber knows he will
attract ,undue attention
through setting off alarms,
getting his picture taken or
having people seem him in
his act, he will likely stay
away", Berlinger said.
As suggestions on how to
discourage robbery, Berlin-
ger suggested the installation
of an alarm system with the
premises marked as being
protected. Installation of a
camera or mirrors in the
business will discourage rob-
beries and pilferage. Keep
the windows clean in the
business so people outside
can see inside and see what


is going on. "This will go a
long way toward discourag-
ing robbers," the Deputy
said.
Berlinger recommended
that if even after all these
precautions have been taken,
a business is still robbed,
"give the man what he wants
without resisting. This way
you minimize the chances of
your being hurt." The speak-
er cautioned those being
robbed to study the robber in
order to be able to give a
description. "Especially note
anything unusual about the
robber, such as an accent, a
scar, unusual markings or
appearances."
Next, call the police and let
them catch the robber after
you have given him a
complete description before
*you forget any details.
Guests of the club were
Harry Babbitt of Thomas-
ville, Ga.,Alfred W. Mack of
Jacksonville and Jim Fem-
som.

Signal

Device

Changed
(FPR)...New hand
signaling devices called Stop-
Slow paddles are being put in
use by the Florida Depart-
ment of Transportation to
replace the red flags
previously used in guiding
traffic around highway
construction, maintenance
and utility operations.
The new signs will be used
by DOT maintenance per-
sonnel and are required of any
other governmental authority
or contractor performing
work within public highway
-i,' of way.
The Stop-Slow paddle sign is
a 26 inch wide circle of
.-..i.i- rt durable plastic
attached to a six foot plastic.
pole.
One side displays a STOP
sign with white letters and
border on a red Octagon-
shaped background. The
reverse side says SLOW in
black letters and border on an
orange diamond-shaped
background.
Stop-Slow paddle signs
provide more warning and
guidance to the motorist. He
should have little cause for
confusion due to uncertain
hand signals or improper
usage of a flag. Paddle signs
spell out the message loud and
clear and are considered an
added safety factor for both
the motorist and the flagman.
Specifications for the signs
also are spelled out loud and
clear in the DOT Manual on
Traffic Controls and Safe
Practices for Street and High-
way Construction, Main-
tenance and Utility
Operations. This manual was
adopted by the Department
last year to establish uniform
traffic control measures and
standardize procedures
throughout the state,
The DOT's first 500 paddle
signs were shipped this week
to district maintenance offices
where they will be issued to
.,'iit-,, assigned to work
projects.
The signs were produced by
the DOT Sign Shop in Lake
City.
In the future, red flag will
be used only in emergency
situations.

Red Cross
Applauds New
Blood Policy
(FPR)...Washington, D.C. --
The American National Red
Cross will give its full support
to the Federal Government's
new national blood policy,
George M. Elsey, the
organization's president, said.
The new policy, aimed at
securing blood for tran-
sfusions from volunteer
donors instead of those who
sell their blood, was an-
rounced by Caspar W.
Wcinberger, Secretary of
Health. Education and
Welfare, at a July 10 White
House Symposium for science
writers.
Secretary Weinberger told'
reporters the new system will
help to reduce the threat of
liver disease hepatitis. which
is more apt to be transmitted
by donors "at the bottom rung
of our economic ladder" who
sell their blood. The new
policy also will provide a more
uniform system for blood
collection, the IIEW secretary
said. and will require more
complete federal regulation of
blood banks and processing
Cciitcis.
Mr. Elsey said today that.
for 2( years the Red ('ross has
advocated all-volunteer blood
supply for the nation based on
a regional pattern, but that its
efforts to achieve these goals
have met with vigorous op-
position during these years.
Stating that Red C('ross
welcomed secretary Wein-
berger's action in calling for
the "fullest possible
cooperation of the private
sector in implementing the
national blood policy." Mr.
l'lsey said the organization's
national board of governors


earlier this year approved
Iced Cross participation in the
formation of the American
Blood Resources Institute, a
proposed corporate agency
which could be -a beginning
point for such cooperative
action.

If all goes according to

it off the Florida coastline
south of Pensacola-Ft.. Wal-
ton, south of Apalachicola
and west of Tampa-St.

An estimated 925 to 1,490
wells will be drilled and in

.-.ir.;-,' as they are now ready
tq build homes on that

-Conmm. ihiffield said he
felt the Bo0rd should help
these people as the addition
of ,the homes would increase
the tax r.ll. Cornrn. Money
said in a previous meeting
that the Board had voted not
to bIild-anyn m')re streets in
ubdiivisJons until the CouP-
ty had developed' .. : ..
tions. ie added thaI in other
areas the developers or
buyers have ,t bring roads
up to spe(ificatio.ins ber[re
the ;Read is accepted. Comm.
Graham said t-he Board did
vote not to accept any
subdivision .roads until the
roads w.re of a cln"tain grade
and he ie't t nia miaion had
hurt the. little m-an and he
was against that.
Conni.' .Davis said he
opposed d.'evop.ieit of pri-

bu, a' 'hen 20 25 property
owners as, in Riverside
S: Estates n-e.ded a road he was
not opposed to building it as
the County would benefit in
the- lonigrun. After furliher

earlier acopted police on

the Board's (.io c:ncern-
ing this matter, of March 13,
1973 recorded on page 4604

rescinded. Connmi. Graham
seconded the motion. The
motion passed as Comm.
Whitfield, Graham, Davis,
and Player voted aye.
Comm. Money nay.
Comm. Whitfield then
moved the Board accept no
plants of new subdivisions
until the roads in that
subdivision are brought up to
County specifications. Comm.
Graham seconded the
motion. Comm. Money said
he feels all streets should be
brought up to grade where
the road department would
have nothing to do but grade
the road as it was needed.
After further discussion, the
motion passes unanimously.
Comm. Graham then moved
that :the road in Riverside
Estates be completed, pro-
vided. Mr. Charley Gaskin
supplies the needed fill dirt.
He added this road is needed
so the lot owners can begin
home construction. The mo-


tion passed as Comm. Whit-
field seconded the motion and
Comms. Graham, Davis,
Whitfield and Player voted


aye and Comm. Money voted
nay.
William- Linton, represent-
ing the School Board, pre-
sented a road work request
listing four items that needed
work at Port St. Joe High
" School. Comm. Player said
the work could.be handled by
the Road Department. Com-
missioner Graham moved
that the Board help on these
items,' provided the ,School
Board pursue some relief
from their .contractor on
patching holes in the parking
lot area. Comm. Player
seconded the motion and it
passed unanimously. -
John Dill, Wewahitchka,
appeared before the .Board,
requesting, the Board pave
the road to the old Stokes
Fish Camp. Comm. Whitfield
urged the Board to pave this
road as there -are 'a lot of
permanent residents living on
the road. Comm'.. Graham,
said the road was not on the
Board's priority list and
could not be paved presently.
Common. Graham then moved
the road be put on the
priority list so it could be
paved in the near future.
Comm. Whitfield seconded
the motion and it passed
unanimously.
Mrs. Marqueritte Brogdon
told the Board the present
diking project underway on
State Road 38, is going to
deprive her and perhaps
other property owners from
access to their property and
she wonders if the Board
intends to remedy this situa-
tion upon completion of the
project. Comnm. Graham said
the-Boprd has failed to act on,
this matter because they
were unaware there .were
other property owners -,! ...-o-
ing the dike. Comm. Player
said in the final analysis the.
Board would provide access
to the property but he
understood the Board's
:ig rr.nit with M K RPoiePS
"w.iu~d' noid that firn m :-..,
sible.
Commissioner Graham
then asked the Attorney if the
agreement calls for M K
Bandhes to provide access to
those property owners
affected by, the construction.
The Attorney answered that,
according to the agreement,
M K Ranches would have to
complete this project accord-
ing to the Board's specifica-
tions and' the Board could
hold, them responsible for
providing this access.
TheI Sheriff asked the
Boa'id who was ,'..* ,' -.!.:,
f9r acquiring a letter of
agreement with the cities of
P( ka concerning the chajr, .:. '
housing the municipal pri-
soners. The Attorney -replied
that in the past the Board
had left this matter up to the
Sheriff.
Commissioner Whitfield
told the PBoard several people
in White City had requested
.that street signs be placed on
the Whittc City streets. .The


Road Department Superin-
tendent said .his men are
working on -placing signs
throughout the County.
Commissioner Graham told
the Board 'the ditch around
Fourth or Fifth Streets in
Highland View needs clean-
ing. out. The Board granted
permission for this work to
be done.. / ,
The Board received a letter
from the Wist Florida
Resource Conservation and
Development Project
requesting the : '. pay
travel expenses of approxi-
mately $200.00 to send a
delegate to Washington, D.C.
Comm. Player moved that
the Board send a'. delegate
provided he or she was from
Gulf County. 'Comm. Graham
seconded the -r, 'm.:. 'and it
passed unanimously.'
Comm. Davis said Boyd
Brogdon has asked him what
to do .about an individual
ignoring re-: -'" :-'. in a
,subdivision platted by him.
The Attorney answered the
Board has no jurisdiction in
this matter as it involves
private ,,gait_' .
Pursuant 'tb the published
invitation to receive sealed,
bids to., sell to the .hes;
bidder one 196.6 Civil,' ,':..
jeep, the Board received six
bids. Bids are on file in the
Clerk's office. Comm. Gra-
ham moved the high bid of
$568.77 made 'by E. D.
Ramsey be accepted. Comm.
Whitfield seconded the
motion and it passed unani-
mously.
The Board received a letter
from Bob Moore, on behalf of
the Chamber of Commerce,
requesting that cdrrespon-
dence on planning and
development in the area be
forwarded to the Chamber
for evaluation. The Board
agreed to refer any such
correspondence to the Cham-
ber after it had first been
reviewed by the Board. ,
The- Board was notifiediby
Bob Brown" that r..un,
governments are now liable
for. the tortious' acts of its
er;n-...'eet and agents and
should consider insurance

quested the Clerk contact the

this protection.,
The Board received an
employment application from
Rhudini J. Jackson.
Commissioner Player ask-
ed the Board to send a
resolution to the. Governor
requesting that some action
be taken soon the .State
towards fixing the ?-w.i..-,,.
View bridge and keeping it in
workable order.. Attorney
Rish said he thought more
:could be ,- .'.. :-. --..-d if he,
and a large group of people,

said the people need the
meeting and the Attorney
said he would, get an appoint- s
ment.

sion to purchase a radio for
his new jeep., After discussion
Comm. Graham moved, and
Comm. Whitfield secofided ,a
motion, that the Civil defense
Director be allowed to
purchase said radio at tate
contract ,price, as the sale of

New Rules

for Boats,


PAGE TWELVE,


TALLAHASSEE-The dog
days of summer are upon us.
To many sportsmen, this is a
time for fishing and boating
or perhaps a camping trip or
so with the family. The bird
dogs or hounds are kenneled
up and aside from an occa-
sional exercise run are on
"vacation" too.
But the dog days are more
than just the -high tempera-
ture mark of the year ...
,;,:.' can be the source of
serious illness or even death
to a dog. The source of this is
heartworm. The heartworm is
a worm-a rr -.;--t,,- r lives
in the heart area of a dog and
causes damage to heartwii:u:..
blood vessels, and the liver,
Cats may also be ii,'ufc.d
with the heartworm as well as
foxes and other mammals.
As with many p.ii.i-t.
this one is th.u,,.r ., by an
insect, in this case the mos-
qia., An ,,diil female heart-
worm will be about ten to
twelve inches long and in a
dog will give birth to micro-
,..p. .t small worms which
are carried tiT ,ii;:hi..ll the
dog's blood stream.
When a mosquito bites
such 'a dog, some of. these
small worms may be drawn
into thd Uri,, a *.i where ilh...
continue to develop. In about
two weeks iH i., become in-
,. in-,. larvae, and when the
mosquito next ,bites another
dog, the tiny worms enter
that dog and migrate to the
heart. One dog may have sev-
eral worms at one time,
If your dog has been in-
fected six months or more, a
simple blood test p, rf.,rniwd
by your veterinarian will
S,..jidl. tell the .A.rv..If only


might not discover the para-
site. A second test six ninths
later would be recommended.
The effect of heartworm
on a dog will depend a great
deal on the life style of the
animal and the number of
worms being harbored. A
hunting dog, or other animal
used to plenty of exercise can
be rendered almost invalid by
heartworm. Dogs have died as
a result of the para*i#.', and
even a light case in any dogs
can cause irreversible damage
to heart and liver.
The first symptom of in-
fection may be a chronic
cough or tiring -a'd: during a
run. Your regular veterinarian
can make the blood test and
will prescribe the medicine.
In the case of an infected
animal the removal of heart-
worms is accomplished by a
series of shots over a short
term, normally two days,
with follow-up m If test indicate your dogs
don't have heartworm we'd
suggest preventive medicine is
cheap insurance for a valued
dog and companion. This pre-
ventive medicine is available
in pill or liquid form and is
administered every day. In
colder climes, it is necessary
only in warmer'weather but
here in i i.rnd, it's best to
continue the dosage year'
round. Pr. npr'.in must be
made by a veterinarian and
will vary d.-rp.'nd.i; upon the
i ,*' l, dog.
, A check-up now will as-
sure that your dogs will be fit
and ready for the field when
the season opens ... and save
a lot of personal grief for you
as well as pain and suffering
for a 'good hunting compan-
ion.
