Hieber, age 17, was arrest- ed a short time later -by Sgt. Tom Berlinger, and the suspect signed a written confession to the charge. * Hieber entered a guilty plea before Hon. Sam P.

Property owners may be heard. But first there is a procedure they must go through. In order to have their objections heard, they must file a petition with the Tax Assessor before August 28. The petitions are avail- able- in, the Tax Colleetor's office. In order for property owners to be heard ,they must first file a petition. The petition is available in the Tax Collector's office. The document must be filled out and returned to the Clerk of the Circuit Court. After the tax roll has been certified by the Department of Revenue, a public hearing date will be set. This date will probably be some time in September. At the public, hearing, the Tax Adjustment Board, con- sistOing---of (hru" County' Commissioners and two school Bpard members, will consider the petitions for changes. If a property owner has not filed a petition by the proper date (August 28) his complaint will. not be heard.

Commissioner G'.O'r.eo' Wim- berly, who now is in charge of the Hospital said he expected the City would have to contribute po-.'.it vh another $9,000 to the operation of the facility before the fiscal year ends S,.pirmbei 30. BRIGHT SIDE The picture wasn't all black Tuesday night as Commissioner Bob Holland announced the new Waste- water Treatment plant should begin operation on September 15. The new plant is now about five months past its comple- tion date and the Commission is beginning to sigh from' relief that their running battle with their contractor is about over. The Commission and the contractor have been at odds for nearly a year with the City claiming the con-. tractor is dragging its feet and the contractor- claiming delays are beyond their control. Resident engineer Bob Da- vis said the plant should be energized the last of this week and the checking ..p. r 'cr. beginning. In other business, the Board: -Agreed to wi t,.ivs- to get Third Street paved from Monument Avenue to Baltzell Avenue while the paving contractor is in the vicinity. -Emphasized a need to take concrete steps to 'get unsightly lots cleaned up and hurni j nut building removed from lots. -Agreed to ask the De- partment of transportation to survey -the intersection of U.S. 98 and Industrial Road to install safety devices. Heavy industrial traffic and log trucks are creating a traffic hazard at the inter- Youth Revival The Beach Baptist Chapel *will be in revival services this week end, with the emphasis on youth. Leaders of the special services will be Charles Brannon and Denny Dawson, a team sponsored by the Florida Baptist Convention. Brannon is a ministerial student and Dawson a student of church music. Pastor of the Chapel, Rev. William Smith, said the week end will begin with a youth fellowship tonight at 7:30 P.M. with the revival team present to meet with the youth of the area. Revival services will begin Friday night and continue through the Sunday morning services. Night services are at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 11:00 a.m. The Chapel is located at the corner of Columbus and Alabama Streets on St. Joe Beach. Everyone is invited to attend. Water, Sewer, Garbage Rates Going Up Customers of the City sanitary services will see, an increase in their bills for water, sewage and garbage collection services beginning with the November billing as the result of action taken by the City Commission Tuesday night. An increase in the water rates has been needed for sometime, Commissioners say. Last year Commissioner George Wimberly who was in charge of the Water and Sewer services at the time admonished the Board for continuing to sell water and collect sewage at less than it cost the City. Under the old rates treated water was sold to'City customers on a sliding scale from a high of 75c per thousand gallons to 25c per thousand gallons for large users., Clerk Charles Brock told The Star Tuesday night that the average home user of water is now paying from 60c to 75c, depending on how much water was used. The minimum water bill is now $3.00 with a maximum of 4,000 gallons being allowed. NEW RATES Under the new rates every water user will pay 70c per thousand gallons, regardless of how much water he uses. The minimum bill will be $2.80 per month. According to Brock, "The people who are using the water will now be paying for it, with the minimum user receiving a nominal increase in rates." The City has ascertained it costs 70c per gallon to buy water, treat it to state specifications and maintain treatment and distribution systems. Sewer charges will still be based on the amount of water used. The new rates will be set at 60 percent of the water bill with a minimum of $1.68 per month being charged. Currently sewer is billed at 40 percent of the water charges. The new rate ordinance was introduced for a first reading Tuesday night, with a second and final reading due on' the September 4 meeting. GARBAGE RATES In a companion measure, the Commission also intro- duced an ordinance to increase the garbage collec- tion fees. Should the ordinance pass on the second reading at the next meeting, the new rates will go into effect on November 1. Single family dwellings are being raised from $2.00 to $2.50 per month with twice a week pick-up. Multiple family dwellings will be charged the same rate per family. The service will also include trash pick-up twice a week. Any special pick-up will be- billed extra at $1.00 a trip. Business establishments receiving service three times a week will have their bill increased from $3.00 to $4.00 per month. Special users such as hotels, motels and eating places will receive four pick-ups a week and will have their charge increased from $6.00 to $7.50. Wholesale users of garbage and trash pick-up, including super markets will be char- ged at the rate of $20.00 per month for pick-up five days a week. The rate for this category has been $15.00 per month. TEN CENTS A COPY - omoomoowM THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY, AUGUST 23, 1973 min- Wesley. R. Ramsey William H. Ramsev Frenchie L.

Back to School It's back to school Monday for the students of Gulf County. It seems like only a short while ago that school let out for the summer. After Monday, the summer will still be with 'us but the children. won't. School opening this, year- can- not help but start on a note of opti- mism. Nearing the end of .last year's session,, things got sticky at the local high school, but they rapidly improv- ed before school was let out for the summer. It would seem to stand to reason, the new school year will open on a good note and offer an oppor- tunity for our students to get their education in a peaceful and pleasing atmosphere. Each year since integration, the school system has become progres- sively more peaceful as the years went by. Even then, Port St. Joe and Gulf County has hardly suffered the throes of anarchy which has been in- :. It has been long recognized that if our republic is to remain strong ,- and secure, educational iapp..rtlianvty must be within the reach of all. The American ideal has been that the de- Ssire for education, should be reward- I ed on the basis of ability and ambi- , tion, and not upon 1.--, economic privilege, national origin or color. However, many young people with a desire to go on to .I.h ,'., ,,I1 or 'college study have found that econ- omic factors often block ,further progress. to A giant step in the right direc- Stion Was taken by Congress in 1972, when, as part of. the Higher .Educa- :' tion Act, provision was made for the establishment of a ,i.Io.'IunL>-!I" spon- sored private corporation, known as the "Student Loan Marketing Assoc- iation" which has been dubbed "Sallie Mae". The new corporation-similar in concept to those in the fields of.hous- I'ng. (Fannie Mae) and outer space (Comsat)-is being financed by lend- ing institutions such as banks, sav- Slings and educational institutions, through the sale of an initial 700,000 shares of common stock. The funds thus obtained, starting this Fall of .vt1973, will be available to lending in- stitutions dealing in student loans. flicted on the other schools of the Northwest Florida area. We can see no reason why the situation should not continue to improve. The real heart-breaking part of the whole matter is the fact that the students are being cheated of part of the best years of their lives. Most every fond inr..' ,,ry an adult of any age has is concerning his school days and the good things, the funny iiri.'.: and the adventurous things which happened to him during Ih<.. : years. The opening of school offers dif- ferent h i ,!'. to different people. To ,us it mean the first school year in nearly 20 years we haven't had a child in 'ir..', t .'1 school. Only time 'will tell whether that is a good or a bad feeling. To those still in.school, we wish luck during the ensuing year. Relax,, enjoy yourself and do your best to learn what is offered y'.,i .

"Sallie Mae" is a bona-fide in- vestment in America's future. It will open the way for thousands of qual- ified students to achieve what would otherwise be an impossible dream. Who Do You Believe?

Much, of what we. have ."-".' .4.:;- in the past century- has made life more *,, more secure and richer than it has ever been. Before America was indus- trialized and its waters were crystal clear, the lakes and rivers of .our country were .* -..t.r thousand with chol- era, ,. .'1V., fever and typh- oid. Still in the case of Solomon, a little "righteous indigna- tion" by, a present day forester would not be out of place. 'The fanious cedars that were borrowed form Lebanon to build the Temple were never replaced. Today, the once-green mountains of Lebanon are bare and eroded, barely supporting poor mineral soils and sparse scrub *i'e.e'tVi The econo- my is largely a nomadic form of agriculture. Lebanon's is the story of a wholesale destruction of a forest environment, and it is typical of the Mediterranean region as a whole. From an area richly covered with deciduous and evergreen forests, now lie barren slopes, ifs organic topsoil long ago pushed into the sea, every other shred or blade of grass nibbled away by goats. King Hiram was kind to help Solomon build such a magnificent structure. His neighborliness is remember- ed throughout history. But he Kindergarten Teachers Are Enthusiastic Mrs. Lois Cadwell, Mrs. Carolyn Davis, Mrs. Char- lotte Nedley, and Mrs. Helen Kilbourn, the kindergarten staff at Port St. Joe Elemen- tary School are bubbling with enthusiasm with their plans to launch a new. open concept program. They met with Mrs. Pat Desmond, Early Childhood Specialist from Escambia County, and Mrs. Johann Chancey, Early Childhodd Specialist from the State Department of Education. In the two days spent 'with these consultants, areas previously designated as self-contained classrooms were reorganized into one open classroom utilizing all available space as learning centers. These centers- will not only serve the needs of groups of children, but will serve the individual child as well. It is the philosophy of this open-concept program to create an atmosphere that encourages children to deve- lop their own individual ideas and responses. The teaching staff is there, to help-to establish a climate that will foster the child's desire to learn and to create an environment in which the child is assured of his own self-worth. The public is urged to visit the kindergarten and paitici- pate in this new approach to serving children. Volunteer help will be needed and welcomed. From The Living Bible In the end, those who survive the plague will go up to Jerusalem each year to worship the King, the Lord of Hosts, to celebrate a time of thanksgiving. And any nation anywhere in all the world that refuses to come to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of Hosts, will have no rain. But if Egypt re- fuses to come, God will punish her with some other plague. And so Egypt and the other nations will all be pun- ished if they refuse to come. Zechariah 14:16-18 Religious Heritage of America Etaoin Shrdlu by WESLEY R. RAMSEY -THE STA R- Published Every Thursday at 30 Williams Avenue, Port St. Joe, Florida, By The Star Publishing Company Setond-Class Postage Paid at Port St. Joe, Florida 32456 _ _ Now Vice-President Spiro Agnew has felt the numbing blow of accusation. We join with the Tallahassee Democrat's editor, Malcolm Johnson, in standing appalled at our recent practice of convicting public figures in the news media. Without a shred of evidence, a Grand Jury is on the verge of in..i.i-ting Aglew on the l-.'-'.',n. that he took kickbacks. He may have. I :oui.tir,'t say one way or another. We will not s V he did on the evidence (or lack of it) which has been presented thus far. To .\,-.:',v's credit, he offered all his records for the scrutiny of the U. S. pr.ri.;-cutr< Would an in- nocent man be so open? Mr. A.;\iwW is not undercutting President Nixon's p,.-it .n "i I .ff'ri,' his own records. Ag- new is li.,rini only those records which had to do with his years in the -vr,-nt of the State of Maryland. His Vice-Presidential records will remain closed. It's .r-.' to me that people like Daniel Eili.,11r Pitts and Lee and others can get the .,;'i(. ~t}:;y of. the nation and the courts when tt..--r mis-deeds are widely publicized and en- I; ', upon. A President and Vice-President, ii '.'. v. r. are the targets of increased activity to prove thier guilt when derogatory statements : m[-..r" concerning their conduct. One must n.:-ibnir that a person has to be pretty ..tr giIt to get the two top jobs in the nation in the first place. Their backgrounds are .-*..~ii.h.t with a'close eye. If .-11,0t1itLt Li as ob- vious as the h. t-c.-' against Mr. Agnew are there, they would ii rdlly i %h.- i i.i. the ...- nihini eye of those seeking something with which' to .1i.. r. .1o the candidate bf..-',- he is *.,, ,l DECISIONS, ( I0 TIONS I saw Harry Reasoner i ntrvi* wing folk singer Pete .::',r on the TV; ?"i ia -inU,. -.'..1r in ,i1.l.iir, his decision to be a singer '. .1 in.- 1,'"I ThIik I made the right decision, how- ever, you don't know decisions are important un- Jioieebi ; .-s'ak'Hi(.r '"'" 4" i' ,i -' til ,a,' "A ... ... ... . ..... ....,.

They don't think it's too iuipiri,,tit th:Ji they waste a year or two bumming around trying to "find themselves". It doesn't hurt if they experiment with all these exotic drug experiences everyone is t, l.!kin about. It isn't io r,, l:nrit if they decide to ignore the ad- vice of their parents or elders;' they can correct any mistakes later. But these things are important and many times mistakes cannot be corrected in their en- tirety. I think every decision should be considered important and no chances should be taken with our future which might jeopardize especially the reputation or the future of the individual or his family. Playing with things known to. be harm- ful is one of these foolish decisions. They deserve to be considered important in one's life. * "BRENDA" UNDECIDED Hurricane Brenda is floundering around in the Gulf of Mexico trying to make up her mind whether or not she wants to make the scene as a full-fledged hurricane. Isn't that just like a woman? Now, we know why hurricanes are given female names. Brenda is only the second weak blow of the hurricane season which is now practically over. blew it when he and other kings cut the finest cedars in the world-without thought to reforesting or conservation. Conscience and hindsight are returning to Lebanon to implement its "Green Plan" and make amends for bygone environmental mismanage- ment. . r :"::'"~: A,:,!,Dream,' Gilbert-Sheffield Vows Exchanged Mrs. W.

For County School Lunch Rooms Almost onethird ofthe by social security if she is r County School Lunch Rooms nation's household workers paid as much as $3.85 per could be eligible for social security retirement benefits in seven years. or less, according to David Robinson, Social Security Representa- tive for Gulf County. "Most women household workers are in their 40's, but. 29 percent are over 55. These . are the workers who could start getting retirement bene- fits in seven years or less," Robinson said. A household worker can get reduced monthly social security retirement .checks beginning. at 62-or full benefits begin- ning at 65-if she has worked long enough in jobs covered by social security. There are nearly 1.7 million household workers in the nation, and 1.5 million are women, Robinson said. A household worker's cash wages count for social security if she is paid $50 or more in a 3-month calendar quarter from one employer. "This means," Robinson said, "that a household worker's wages are covered week in cash for 13 consecu- tive weeks in a calendar quarter. "To get the proper social security credit for her earnings," Robinson said, "a household worker should be sure to give her employer her correct social security num- ber. The employer is respon- sible for sending a quarterly report of wages paid and the social security contributions to the Internal Revenue Service. Single copies of a leaflet, "Social Security and Your Household Employee," are available free on request at any social security office, Robinson said. jZRE LEGAL TE ER u.

Local school officials have adopted the family size income criteria for use in determining eligibility, shown in the table at right. For each additional family member, add $510 per year to the' income. Note: Reduced prices for lunches should be 20 cents or less, and for breakfasts, 10 cents or less. Children from families who whose income .is at, or below those shown are sJ.vi[!A:e for meals free or at reduced prices. In addition, families not r.ee'r -. this criteria but with unusual expenses due to unusually high' medical expenses, shelter costs in excess of 30 percent of income, special education expenses due to the mental or physical condition of a child, and disaster or .:.. losses are urged to apply. They may do so by filling in the t...: .-~:r, forms sent home in a letter to i .i ;-.'' Additional copies are avail- able at the, principal's office in each school.

St. Joe Hardware Co. Propagation Tip For you do-i :,.;,rielf gardeners, here are a few simple ideas you can use at home for propagation of your ornamentals. The beds, benches and seedflats used for commer- cial plant i. .. .i 'r, are too large for home use but many small units can be set up using materials you probably have hidden in your garage. Aquariums make ideal ,,i.:.;. ;;.': units. Place at least an inch of gravel in the tank bottom for drainage of water from the *o ,:r.;,. . -.- 11 A three to four inch layer of coarse sand, sphag- num moss or a half and half mixture of peat and r.- *. ": or other ri. -' medium is , ..; on, top of the gravel. Moisten the medium and insert your .'. _.- or.sow seed. A glass or : cover on top of the .:,.,., '. will keep the i. ,.. r' ,. high within the container and prevent ': of ',' - Plastic or polyethylene bags can also be used as propagating units. Wrap damp sphagnum,r mos, around the base of r.~~.wn insert into the plastic bag and tie the top. A few small holes in "the, bag will insure air exchange. Don't disturb until the cuttings are rooted. The plastic bag can also be used to enclose an ordinary clay flower pot in which cuttings have been stuck. A couple of sticks in the pot will keep the bag from collapsing on the *:'. ;r.i. Almost any type of 'large container can become a propagating Unit. A. one-gal- lon or five- mu. "' 1 can is a good choice. Remove the top and wash out any oil residue. Punch a ring of 6-8 holes in the side .' i -, between top and bottom. Fill the can with small pea gravel to within/ V inch of the holes then cover the gravel with a one-inch' layer of sphagnum moss and fill the remainder of the can with sand. Wet the mix until the water drains from 'the holes in the side of the can. This unit has a t ,. .r. water reservoir. Moisture eva- porate from the surface sand but water from the lower reservoir will move upward by : .' -.r '. like oil up a wick. Under normal condi- tions this unit will require water every 10-14 days. Such a unit will hold about twenty, 3-4 inch "-v-,.-:- of azalea, holly, hibiscus or similar plants. This unit can be covered with ... *:' L -.'- to reduce moisture loss but keep the unit out of full sun because it can become extremely hot under the Numerous other containers such as pans, boxes or baskets can be used similarly to the units described. Make sure .the containers have sufficient drainage so that the mix is not *.:' '.' saturated with water. All of these units should be placed in partial shade. The cuttings must be prevented from drying out as would quickly occur in direct sunlight. Also, if cuttings are enclosed in plastic, temperatures in full sun will become so high that scalding will occur and cuttings can die. Experiment with these and other propagating units you make up yourself. You will be rewarded with plants to use around your home and they will cost you nothing except for the materials needed to build the propaga- tion units.

Telephone number: 229-6125 Veterans Service Office After 5:00 p.m. on holidays and weekends, and fn case of emergency: Call 227-7311 or 229-6816 or Albert T. Thames At 9:30 A.M. on August 28 Florida Power will ask for *help. At that time, a hearing will be held in St. Petersburg. Florida Power will ask for a change in the way customers pay for the cost of the fuel oil the company burns to make electricity. Today, the cost that the customer pays is based on an average of what oil cost over the past six months. An average is fine when costs go up and down. But, when they just keep on going up, it's another story. Here is what has happened to oil prices so far this year: December 31,1972 $1.68 per barrel January 3,1973 $2.56 per barrel March 24,1973 $2.75 per barrel July 1, 1973 $2.86 per barrel August 5, 1973 $3.07 per barrel The average cost per barrel over the past six months is considerably less than the actual cost today. Florida Power cannot continue to buy oil at a high price while receiving payment at a much lower average price. The company will ask the, Public Service Commission for a change that will reduce to 60 days the lag between the time the company pays for the oil and it is reflected in the customer's bill. We don't like these rising costs any more than you do. However, the spread between the time we must pay for oil and the time this cost is reflected in your A . bill is too great. We simply cannot buy oil without the money to pay for it. And %*\. we must have oil, if you are to have electricity. That's why we're Florida asking for help.

Stroller Deaths Up TALLAHASSEE Pedes- trian deaths in Florida for the first half of 1973 increased 28 percent over the same period last year said the Florida Highway Patrol today. Colonel Eldrige Beach, Patrol director said, "The factors most likely to be present when a pedestrian is killed by an automobile are: male, 75 or older, i..- : i in dark clothes, in good weather, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., on Friday in January." Patrol figures show that 221 of the 281 pedestrians killed were mostly at fault, usually trying to cross the roadway when there was insufficient time. The next most dangerous age bracket was five to nine and many of these children were playing in the roadway or darting out from behind a parked car. The Patrol urges pedes- trians to cross at intersec- tions with traffic signals when possible and to always wear something white when walking after dark. When crossing the road and you have the slightest doubt that you can make it safely before an approaching car reaches you, wait until it passes and live longer. Colonel Beach concluded, "While it is true that most pedestrian deaths were caused by their own care- lessness, drivers can help pedestrians live longer by being more careful in con- gested areas." THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY, AUGUST 23, 1973 PAGE NINE Archers, Muzzle Gun Hunters, Getting Early Shot At St. Vincent Reserve Game Two archery hunts and one muzzle gun hunt for white- tailed deer, wild pigs, rac- coon,, and oppossum are scheduled on St. Vincent Island during the- 1973 fall hunting season. According to information released from the St. Vincent National Wildlife Refuge headquarters in Apalachicola, the dates set are October 18-21 and Novem- ber 22-25 for the two bow hunts, and December 13-16 -for the muzzle loading rifle hunt. "The opening of school presents the motorist once again with a safe driving Buck or doe white-tailed deer may be taken during both bow hunts; only legal bucks will be permitted on the muzzle gun hunt. The white-tailed deer limit will be one per day and two per season. There will be no limit on wild pigs, raccoons and opossums. Guns permitted for. the December hunt are muzzle loading percussion cap of flint lock rifles with single or double rifled barrels of a minimum .40 caliber and maximum .58 caliber with a challenge," said Robert Sharp, Motor Club Executive, as he introduced the annual e'-:., .l -s Open traffic safety campaign of Peninsula Motor Club. Sharp pointed out that ',motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death for children ages five through 14 years. This fact alone should make us stop and consider our own driving habits. "Youngsters five to eight years old, including first year students, are at the most critical age when it comes to coping with traffic." Sharp explained that the daily routine of going to and from school, as well as inexperi- ence in traffic situations, were key factors in making children vulnerable to motor t-tni.-: accidents. The AAA ,''. .il] then emphasized the need for alertness and obser- vance of safe driving proce- dures in, the vicinity of schools and -school bus loading areas. Sharp concluded: "Remember that every park- ed car may be o :.,.,, a ..t:* ready to dart out after some stray school papers. Beyond all else remember: S'-.r.\- Open-Drive Carefully."

A hunting permit issued by St. Vincent National Wildlife Refuge will be required to participate in these hunts. Permits for the two archery hunts will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis to each hunter as he checks in on the island. No applica- tion is needed to obtain an archery hunt permit this year. A maximum of 750 archers will be allowed to hunt on the Island at any one time. Two hundred and fifty permits for the primitive gun hunt will be issued to those applicants whose names are drawn at a public drawing to be held at the Apalachicola office on October 31. The designated permit application form must be received before October 31 to apply for the 1973 primitive gun hunt on St. Vincent Island. No charge is made for the permits issued by the Refuge. The permit system is intended to provide high quality controlled hunts and avoid excessive over- crowding.

Archery Season permit is required for the October 18-21 bow hunt. St. Vincent National Wild- life Refuge consists primarily of a 12,358 acre island near Apalachicola in Franklin County. Hunting will be permitted on the entire island during the 1973 hunts. No bridge nor causeway con- nects St. Vincent Island with the mainland. No public transportation facilities are available. Participants must arrange for or provide their own transportation across coastal water to the island.

Two rough, unimproved campsites, one on either end of St. Vincent Island, have been designated for those sportsmen who wish to remain on the island. For those not planning to camp on the island, motel and restaurant facilities are available in Apalachicola, Port St. Joe, East Point and Carrabelle.
