Gulf County's financial respon-
sibility in the recent Pitts-Lee
murder is making it necessary
to supplement the Fine and For-
feiture Budget, Clerk George Y.
Core told the County Board at
their regular meeting Tuesday
night.
Core i told the Commissioners,
"We've ,already over spent the
1i4le;' ad Forfeiture budget by
S,0o00 and all: of the bills are
not in yet", he said. Core went
on -to point out that the court.
reporter has .estimated an ex-
pense ofi around $6i000 'r. pro-
viding transript of the hear-
ings and trial. "We als6 have
.several other items outstanding
in the case", he said.
Core told The Star the county
has spent $8,670.14 in the cur-
rent budget on the Pitts-Let case.
The Fine and Forfeiture Fund
for the present budget year was
set at $153,238.55 when the bud-
get was drawn last fall. Core
asked Tuesday night that the'
Board supplement the budget up
to $167,930.11 to take care of
the additional expense of the
highly publicized trial.

and Mrs. Charles Gable, a mem-
ber of the Board appeared before
the County Commission Tuesday
night to get a firm commitment,
from the Board as to the future
of water and sewer services for
the community.
Hanlon said the system was
drawn up and financing figured
on 186 customers, but the fact
is there are only 134 potential
customers in Oak Grove and not
enough to finance the system un-
der present plans.
County Engineer Steve Nations
saidb the 186 customers came
about by counting vacant lots as
potentiall customers" when the
idea of the system was first ori-
ginated over four years ago.
Since that time Farmers' Home
Administration changed its re-
quirements for obtaining gov-
ernment loans to include only
using customers and nobody .
thought of re-counting the poten-
tial customers.
Hanlon suggested that the
Board write each Oak Grove res-
ident who has signed up for the
system and explain their posi-
tion and plans for installation of
water and sewer.
Chairman Rudy Pippin said
the Board had several alterna-
tives. They can go ahead with
the system as planned with in-
creased rates. They. can put in
water now and apply for a fed-
eral grant for funds to intsall
the sewer later.
Commissioner Leo Kennedy
said information he obtained at
a recent meeting of the Associa-
tion of County Commissioners
was -Ithat .-the beteral -Govern-
ment in the very near future
would require' the counties to
levy necessary taxes. in:-a ,coi.-
munity ef any size and put in
sewer. He- also- reported a-75%
Federal grant was being made
ready .for such instances.
As a result of all the discus-
sion, the Board finally agreed to
apply immediately to FHA for
loan funds to install the water
system and apply for a- grant to



County Employee

Accident Victim

Hurtis Conley, a 27-year-old
employee of the Gulf County
Road Department was killed in-
stantly Friday afternoon in a
freak accident at the Road De-
partment headquarters in We-
wahitchka.
Road Superintendent Lloyd
Whitfield said Conley climbed
up on the mixer while it was op-
erating, apparently to see how
his mixture of cement was doing
inside the revolving mixing bar-
rel. Whitfield said Conley vi-
dently brushed his foot against
a lever on the npachine causing
it to go into its dumping dpera-
tion. A metal dhute swung into
position, crushing Conley's head
against the mixing barrel and
killing hinm instantly.


put in sewer. The thinking is
that both applications will be
funded at about the same time.
Chairman Pippin said that con-
versation with FHA representa-
tive Charles Snell was that the
government agency could fund
the water system with 100 cus-
tomers without a 'storage tank
and with 120 customers if a
storage, tank is necessary.
Attorney William J. Rish noted
that Snell also said "If you don't
get quite that many come see me
anyhow and let's see what we
can work out". That's what the
County will do.
The Oak Grove District say
they have 90 customers signed
up and deposits paid. The County
Commissioners are going to
make a personal effort to get up
to 120 signed customers during
the next two weeks while the re-
quest for funds is being made to
FHA.
OTHER BUSINESS
In other business the Board:
Received a billing from the
state for $679.89 for medicaid
payments owed.
Took under advisement a
suggestion to require-' mobile
home anchors for parked vehi-
cles.
Adopted a resolution of
condolences to the family of
county employee Hurtis Conley,
who was killed in an accident
last Friday.
Approved a motion by Com-
missioner Walter Graham to re-
stock therdrain -ditch -beside the
courthouse with fish and limit
its use to kids.

Saturday, May 6, people will
be walking here in Port St. Joe
-on a 20 mile course-to raise
funds for the March of Dimes in

The Tigers jumped ahead 4-0'
in the second inning. Jim Belin
slammed a two run homer in the
third and Jim Faison slapped a
two run homer in the sixth to
tie the score. The game, went
into extra innings with the Ti-
gers taking the lead again in the
eighth. The Sharks tied it up in
their half of the eighth.
The Tigers were scoreless in
the ninth. Ken Whittle singled
with his third hit of the game
in the bottom of the ninth and
advanced to second on a passed
ball. Ken Weimorts rapped a sin-
gle, scoring Whittle from second
with the winning run.
Senior left-hander R o b e r t
Hughes was very effective. He
worked seven innings, giving up
eight hits and two earned runs.
Bubla Harmon got credit for the
win, coming on in relief in the
eighth.

The Sharks now own a 12-7 re-


stead, down Highway 98 to the

cepted. A campaign for the spon-
sorships will -be conducted be-
tween now and May 6.

No matter how much power is concentrated in the
Federal Government in Washington, there are always
those who wish to see the Federal Government remain a
servant of the people, rather than a nursing mother to
a conglomeration of people fast reaching the point ,where
they want to be babies rather than do things for them-
selves. This time a small but very vocal "super-con-
sumer Protection Agency". The legislation is now in the
Senate Government Operations Committee. The measure
would establish a new government bureau (yes, another
..; oner) with sweeping authority that makes the powers
of the FBI, the CIA, the IRS and the Treasury Depart-
ment seem pale by comparison-in a country that has, up
tod now, avoided becoming a police state.

If this seems an exaggeration, hear this: under the
"proposed "Consumer Protection Agency" measure, the
head of the new bureau (with the innocuous title of
,"Consumer Advocate") would be granted:
-authority to intervene as a full-fledged party in all
Formal proceedings of existing government regulatory
-a agencies;
-sweeping subpoena powers that would enable him
'to force other government agencies to turn confidential
"files over to him;


, -similar power to force
individuals and companies;


information from private,


-unlimited authority to release such information
(whether true, or proven, or not) at his whim and will;
, -authority to take any existing agency to court as
a full party to a case, whether or not he had participated
in previous proceedings;
-and much more.
Great pressure is being brought upon members of
the Congress and Senate by aggressive lobbyists for the
"super-consumer" movement. Representatives are being
told that to vote for a strong bill will count them as "pro-
consumer"; to vote against it, or to vote to limit the
Consumer Advocate's authority, will mark him as "anti-
consumer". And members of Congress, faced with the
prospect of having to vote on the "protection agency"
bill on the eve of the election, when millions of consumers
will go to the polls to elect a new. Congress, could very
well be panicked into passing the measure.
Passage of the proposed "Consumer Protection Agen-
cy" bill would constitute a dangerous breakdown of the
American idea of limited, restricted government. Con-
sumer "protection" is fine-but as for a Super Spy agen-
cy, this we can do without.


If 'a person wanted to buy a gallon of. "pure" water
at any time in our past, he ,had to purchase distilled r
water. This was ,true even during the period of time t
when our streams were supposedly.unpolluted. But, even n
distilled water is not pure, even though it costs consider- v
ably more than ordinary tap water. It still ,contains a T
small amount of dissolved solids .and probably is not as i
palatable as ordinary tap water and would not support e
* aquatic life.
.Our national manufacturing operations discharge c
more than 14 trillion gallons of water per year. If these a
-14 trillion gallons had to be upgraded from their original t
state as river water to "pure" water of some degree, it s
could cost anywhere from $7 billion per year to $7 tril- t
lion per year, depending on the "purity" required. Too, b
we must remember, that in days gone by, when our streams c
were supposedly pure, they caused some of, the worst
typhoid epidemics our nation has ever, known. w

Too Late To Classify


By Russell Kay


I am not trying to belittle the
small time operator. He is do-
ing all right in his field, thanks'
to the concern of the law for the
rights and protection of the cri-
minal. Considering the ultra i-
berals, the do gooders and the
leniency of our courts, it appears
we are far more concerned about
protecting lawbreakers than we
are with safeguarding the victim.
Crime is like the weather. We
talk about it but we don't do
much about it. Thanks to the ac-
tion of our Supreme Court a law
officer can't arrest a criminal
even if he just witnessed him

murder someone until his rights
are explained and he is assured
he need not talk unless his law-
yer is present. If he cannot af-
ford a lawyer, the court will ap-


Our criminals are thinking big
today. They reason that it is
just as easy to hijack a plane or
rob a bank as it -is to mug some-
one on the street.
Why settle for peanuts when
you can. do a job and make a
million or more. Take over a
jet with a couple of hundred
men, women and children/aboard
Sand you have it made. There are
no patrol cars roaming the skies.
Sure, you might be caught or
killed. But with a million dollar
plane, plus hostages, you are in
a better bargaining position than
you would be robbing a liquor
store. The proprietor might have
a gun handy or a policeman may
be waiting for you when you try
.your getaway.


The City of Port St. Joe has run upon this problem
recently, of how pure is pure. The Environmental Protec-
oin Agency was giving the City a hard time about its
new Wastewater Treatment Plant effluent-which, by the
ray, will be 90% pure when it is discharged into the bay.
The EPA was "disturbed" about the future of marine life
n St. Joseph Bay and the clam population in the South
nd of the bay in particular. The EPA men were worried.
But, lo and behold, one of them happened to think
if the fact that for many years, St. Joe Paper Company
nd the City has dumped its partially treated water into,
he Bay and still the clam population thrives, along with
shrimp and 'many species of fish. It dawned upon him,
hat the discharge of 90% pure liquids could be nothing
)ut an improvement of the past and shouldn't offer any
langer to marine life.
It's nice to see a practical thought every once in a
while.
i *


point one for him.
But what about the rights of
the victim? Will the courts do
anything at all for him? Will
they pay his burial expenses,
care for his bereaved family? No.
He was a nobody, putting temp-
tation in the path of the criminal.
Everybody is sorry for the
poor taxpayer. It was a tough
break. But ask a person to serve
as a witness and he will tell you
he didn't see a thing. He doesn't
want to get involved, forgetting
he, himself, might be the next,
victim.
The do gooders cry over the
fate of the criminal and rush
to some civic meeting where.
their favorite candidate will


orate on the subject of "law and
order." Put the criminal in jail
and the liberals will march,
carrying banners denouncing the
"pigs" and demanding the cri-
minal's release.
In the meantime, crime and
disorder continues to increase.
Dope peddlers continue to ply
their trade. If they are juveniles
they are let off with a warning
and returned to the custody of
their parents. If older, they may
go to jail, but. will be out on
parole before long. The FBI says
75 per cent of our serious crimes
are committed by repeaters.
They say justice is blind. In
my book she is deaf, dumb and
suffering from a mental disorder.

Congress Should Kill This One

Free Food

Recipients

Up Slightly

ATLANTA, GA. There were
2169 low-income Gulf County peo-
ple on the U. S. Department of
Agriculture's Donated Food pro-
gram in January as compared to
2153 the previous month, Russell
H. James, Southeast regional ad-
ministrator of USDA's Food and
Nutrition Service, reports.
Taking the state as a whole,
James noted, there was a slight
decrease of 5,825 in the number
receiving food assistance in Jan-
uary down from 401,247 to 395,
422.
Most of the decrease, he point-
ed out was in the food stamp pro-
gram operating in 20 Florida coun-
ties in January. During the month,
163,693 people were issued over
$4 million in food coupons. Of this
amount, close to $3 million was in
free or bonus stamps. This was
.4,692 fewer than the number is-
sued stamps in December.
Florida is scheduled to have all
of its 67 counties on the food
stamp program by May 1, James
added.
In the food distribution program,
231,729 persons were given more
than 6:5 million pounds of USDA
donated food. This was a slight
drop of 1,133 from the number on
the program in December.



50 Farms Are

Listed In Gulf

Gulf county showed a total' of
50 farms in the 1969 Census of Ag-
riculture, according to figures re-
leased by the U. S. Department of
Commerce's Bureau of the Census,
a part of the Department's Social
and. Economic Statistics Adminis-
tration.
In the last previous Census of
Agriculture (1964) the number of
farms reported in the county was
63.
Of the county's total farms in
1969, 17. are reported as selling
$2,500 or more of agricultural pro-
ducts in the year, as compared
with 12 in 1964.
The .report 'also shows average
farm size in the .county was 282.1
acres, and average value of these
farms (land and buildings) was
$46,300.
Other figures from the report
are: 0
1. Value of all farm products
sold in 1969, $258,121; in 1964,
$109.555.
2. Value of all crops sold in
1969, $177,625; in 1964, $9,234.
3. Value of all livestock, poul-
try, and their products sold in
1969, $72,551; in 1964, $86,959.
Reported for the first time in an
agricultural census is information
on the extent to which the corpor-
ate structure is being used by op-
erators of farms from which agri-
cultural products totaling $2,500
and over were sold. Including fam-
ily farms using this type of busi-
ness structure, one of the county's
$2,500-and-over farms is incorpor-
ated.

Dear Editor:
I thought you might be inter-
ested to know what an outstand-
ing job the Northwest Flordia's
Regional Development .Council
has been doing for the people in
this area. This week the Director,
Barry Boswell, accompanied by
Connalley Martin, Tillman Pip-
pin, Richard V. Dunn, Herbert
Gregory, J. D. Turner, Wilmont
Pete Edwards, and Moody Pearce
were here in Washington when
they made a tremendous impres-
sion with their presentation to a
Congressional subcommittee. In
addition, they visited with many
of us here in Washington and
very skillfully outlined what the
Council has been doing for
Northwest Florida.
The efforts of this Council
truely typify what can be ac-
complished when local people
are allowed to determine their
own economic well being. While
those of us here in Washington


in particular, Congressman Bob
Sikes and Congressman Don
Fuqua, have been most helpful
in achieving federal cooperation,
without strong local determina-
tion and leadership the federal
would not have accomplished the
desiredresults.
In the last four years these
public spirited individuals have
have successfully developed over
37 community programs rang-
ing from $1,000 studies to over
a $2,000,000, grant loan for a
port construction project. But
even more important is the fact
that through their efforts over
4700 jobs have been created.
In closing, I just want to say
that all of us can be extremely
proud of what this dedicated
group of public servants is doing
on behalf of their respective
communities.
Sincerely,
Ed J. Gurney
United States Senator

Great news!
For those of you' who have been waiting for it, the
Cow Chip tossing contest held annually in Beaver, Okla-
homa is due for this week end. This is the event of the
year for some people.
While the people at Beaver select a certain type of
Cow Chip for tossing preferablyy dried and mixed with
buffalo grass) most of Port St. Joe's tosserss" are not
quite so select as to the quality of chips to be tossed. As
a matter of fact they don't even have to be dried in some
spots here in Port St. Joe nor mixed with buffalo
grass.
We do have some experts in Gulf County. Except
down here in the deep South we call it "bull shooting".
Maybe we could get up a collection and send Charlie
Wall, Sid Brown and Tom Knox out to Oklahoma to rep-
resent Port St. Joe in the Cow Chip tossing contest. We'd
have a national championship to go along with our state
football and basketball crowns.
We're blessed with athletes of all sorts here in Port
St. Joe.

If you like parlor games, there's one up in Tennessee
this week end also. The Ramp eaters will go on a ram-
page in Cosby, Tennessee.
How is this related to parlor games?
The Ramp is a wild onion and the hunters go out
over the countryside searching for and eating the wild
scallion. The parlor games follow. Needless to say after
a day, of eating Ramp, spin the bottle or post office is
not on the agenda. So, the parlor games are limited to
pinochle.

John W. Gardner, former Secretary of Health, Edu-
cation and Welfare, writing in The Reader's Digest, asks,
"Suppose that you could offer one word of advice to a
young person living in the year 2000. One word! What
would it be?" Mr. Gardner has posed this question to
many friends over the past several years. He found the
most frequently mentioned word was "Live". Live rank-
ed among the three words most often mentioned for first
place. The other two words were "Love" and "Learn".
After these first three words, Mr. Gardner found
that agreement breaks down for choice of a fourth, a fifth
and so on. However, after much searching and meditat-
ing, he arrived at what he calls, "Seven Words to Live
By." 'He placed them in the following order: "Live, love,
learn, think, give, laugh, try." As a final observation he A
asked: "Can you pack better advice into seven words?"

The Darlington, Wise., "Lafayette County News"
editor says: "A member of the older generation stated,
'I survived WW II, three auto accidents, 2 bad marriages,
4 grandchildren, 2 depressions, 13 company strikes, 3
mortgages, and a bankruptcy-and some fresh teen-ager
tells me: You don't know-what life is all about."

before going in person," Robinson
stated.
You will be told what proofs are
necessary in connection with your
claim. In many instances the en-
tire claim can'be completed by tele-
phone. This will result in your re-
ceiving benefits much sooner. Use'
the telephone. Call your social se-

Statue Presented
To Garden Club

Mrs. J. W. Clemons has pre-
sented the Port St. Joe Garden
Club with a statue of St. Fran-
cis of Assissi. The statue was
made by her husband.
St. Francis is known as the
patron saint of birds and wild-
life. All garden clubs work to
preserve birds since birds live
mostly on insects which would
otherwise destroy plants.
A saint is a person who devot-
ed his life to worshipping God
and serving man.
St. Francis was born in Assisi
of wealthy parents and was a
very flighty youth. Taking part
in street battles and frivolous,
selfish living finally landed him
in jail. While. imprisoned for
many months, he realized that
life should be lived for a pur-
pose.
He accepted the teaching of
the Gospels literally and tried to
live as near like Jesus as pos-
sible. He preached purity of
heart and peace to all. He loved
God and all Gld's creatures for
love of Him. Hle lived in poverty
with the animals and birds. He
worked with his hands and cared
for lepers in his life of unselfish
service.

THE CROSS CHEST

CARRY,
The Red Cross Life Saving program may just seem ,
like a lot of young people splashing a lot of water at
thelocal"Y".
Until it comes down to cases.
Cases of real lives saved from drowning. Lives
like young Tom's. Hundreds of lives, every summer
No youngster ever got a nickel for the enormous
gift of time, effort, energy and caring that goes into
passing a Red Cross Life Saving test. It's tough.
And it's voluntary.
Like hundreds upon hundreds of Red Cross pro-
grams, all across the country. Volunteers who teach
baby care to deaf mothers. Who help unwed mothers
Drug addicts.The aged.The blind.The distressed.
Being a Red Cross Volunteer -one of America's
best neighbors-isn't always easy. It means giving time.
It means giving yourself.
Maybe you don't have a lot of hours to give to the
Red Cross this month.
But think.Where do you fit in?
The American Red Cross.
PEOPLE LIKE YOU HELPING PEOPLE LIKE YOU.T

Ellis Tells obf the
Call to Serve God

Rev. Sidney Ellis told the Rotary
Club last Thursday, that getting
into the ministry is a combination
of receiving a call to serve and a
period of examination and prepar-
ation. "I can only speak of the
preparation for service in the Epis-
copal, but I think every church is:
similar", he said.
Ellis said the most important
step for going'into the ministry'
is to receive the call of God to 1
serve. "Everything else is exam-
ination by leaders of the church
and' concentrated2study to prepare
oneself,for the business of serving
as a pastor". Ellis listed courses a
budding minister takes in study of I
the old and new, Testament verse
by verse in English and Greek, a
study of theology, music, how to
organize and how to preach. "All
of these things merely prepare
one academically-the rest is go-
ing on experience, good judgment
and faith.", .
"The ministry is a 244hour-a-
l"* --' h whichh gets him involv-
ed in all kinds of happiness, sor-
row and tragedy. .One must defin-
itely have the call .of God in or-
der to be happy in, such a profes-
sion."

of each branch is a terminal or tip

appear at intervals along the

New Traffic Manual Developed


A new Uniform Traffic Safe-
ty Manual, setting up minimum
standards for all roads in the
state, is being developed by the
Florida Department of Trans-
portation following legislation
which makes Florida the first
state in the nation to adopt and
require state-wide road safety
standards.
The new manual, which will
include standards for design,
construction and maintenance of
all roads, is being developed by
a team of engineering special-


ists at the University of Miami
under a $20,000 grant from Flor-
ida DOT and the Governor's
Highway Safety Commission.
First step in development of
the manual, slated for comple-
tion by March 1, 1973, is a re-
search of all available federal,
state and local standards relat-
ing to highway safety.
Included in this study will be
engineering safety features, pe-
destrian sidewalks, pavement de-
sign and construction, railroad
crossings, maintenance of roads


and right of way, identification
and removal of roadside hazards
of obstacles, breakaway pole sup-
ports, design of bridge railings,
special hazard guardrails, safety
on detours or at construction
sites, parked vehicles, location
of traffic signals, roadway lights
ing and pedestrian bridge design.

One In Six

Moving

"If you plan to move soon you've
got a lot of company," David Ro
binson, Social Security Field Re
presentative for Gulf County, saic
today. At any given time, one
American in six is planning tc
move from one residence to an
other according to census esti
*mates. That's about 36 million peo
ple on the move.
If you expect to move and are
one.of the almost 27 million people
who get social security checks
every month, you should notify
your social security office. Prompi
notice of a move will assure de
livery of your social security checl
to your new address without dela5
or interruption.
When you contact the social se
curity office, be able to furnish
the social Security claim number
that appears on your check-as wel'
as your complete old address anc
complete new address with ZII
code.
The easiest way to change yomt
address is by telephone. Some
times additional information ib
needed to change your address
!For this reason, a phone call t<
your social security office is better
than a letter. "You should als(
notify the post office of your add
ress change," Robinson said.
For more information, contact
your local social security office iz
