Cabinet will be Advised Tuesday to Buy Peninsula





Committee Recommends Purchase


notice received this week from
the Department of Natural Resources
by the Gulf County Commission says
the State of Florida will consider
tpvrchase of most of the remaining
privatelyy owned land on St. Joseph's
peninsula at the regular meeting of the
cabinet on Tuesday of next week.
According to the DNR letter, a
favorable staff recommendation will
be made to the Cabinet to purchase the
land at'.their Tuesday meeting.
A committee 'o DNR which has
studied the proposal and held public
-hearings here in Port St. Joe will


request the.Cabinet release $5,105,000
from the Environmentally Endanger-
ed Larids bond proceeds account for
purchase of approximately 910 acres
on St. Joseph Peninsula.

The property consists of two
ownerships with a combined appraised
value ranging from $5,105,000 (the
negotiated price with the present land
owners) to S.' .,00 These two own-
erships make up most of the remaining
non-public portion of Ste. ,;,-p; '1.
Acquisition would provide needed pro-
tection to the ecologically valuable
lower St. Joseph Bay, as well. as


priser.-ring four and one-half miles of
frontage on the Gulf of Mexico,
according to the DNR committee.
Acquisition of the property is
recommended by the Interagency
Advisory Committee on Environmen-
tally Endangered Lands by unanimous
vote of the committee at a meeting
held on August 11 of this year.
Local citizens offered their objec-
ut.in- to the plan at a public hearing
held here in Port St. Joe February 17,
with all governmental subdivisions of
the county as well as several civic
clubs going on record as opposing the


purchase. Twenty-one private citizens
also expressed their opposition.

purchase, furnished-with the letter of
intent to seek the purchase lists. 48

as being in Gulf County.
Recently, the County Commission
and the Port St. Joe City Commission
also offered further .e-hi, tioni that
should the State pursue their plans for
the p.ar h,-, the m'n-e hi ngi offered
was too much. They objected to the
price being paid.
Involved in the purchase are land


owners, Cap:- San Bias Joint Venture,
an Atlanta, Georgia group, which had
planned a resort development there.
Their land parcel consists of 870.31
acres. The other land owner is Part-
iiership, Inc:, of Florida, which owns 50
acres spanning the narrow strip of
land.
The state already owns the north-
crn lIilf of lih pliim.Tii01; on the Gulf of
txh.'-'c. with a small portion of the
land developed into a state park,

Accreditation Approved for Gulf Elementary Schools


Gulf County Elementary Schools have been recommend-
for accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges
and Schools.
A visiting committee from SACS has bMen in the district
since Sunday evening at work evaluating and examining
each school center and the district office to determine if the
schools meet the standards set by this organization which
would permit their accreditation.
On Tuesday of this week, at a meeting in the
Wewahitchka Elementary School auditorium, the committee


chairman, Dr. Milton Acton, Bay County school..system,
announced to the school faculties, county staff, school board
members and parents that the SACS committee would
recommend accreditation for the three schools in Gulf
County: Highland View, Port St. Joe Elementary and
Wewahitchka Elementary.
The committee provided a list of recommendations that
the schools will use as a basis for further improvement.
While the items cited will not prevent accreditation, they
were deemed desirable in an accredited school. The list of
improvements suggested included such items as: im-


provements in the physical plant and furnishings, improve-
ments to the lunch room facilities, continue some of the
programs already underway and encourage more involve-
ment of parents with the school operation.
The school system was especially commended for its
efforts in providing individual instruction; for its attitudes of
both students and teachers; on the excellent program of
instruction which is being put together and on the effective
use of facilities available.
Superintendent David Bidwell, with school board


approval, initiated the process leading to initial accreditation
three years ago. During the period, the schools were under
the capable direction of a SACS approved consultant, Ms.
Beatrice Williamson, former director of elementary educa-
tion Broward County.
Accreditation of the elementary schools assures parents,
mostly, that the students are receiving the things necessary
to provide a good substantial education. In short,
accreditation approval means the schools are using the
proper tools and doing the proper things with trained people
to effectively teach children.

We would like to take this
.-6pportunity to inform certain
,'elements of the press in Cen-
- tral and South Florida that we
,rednecks in the Panhandle are
capable of con .1.,ui'g an im-
partial trial.

We aren't narrow-minded
bigots who convict a man for a
crime just because he is black.
This may come as a surprise
to some hotshots' down south,
but Panhandle juries are just
like other juries-they issue
verdicts after hearing all the
evidence. Many of -the jurors
have gone to school, and they
can even read and write.


This is very difficult for us
to say. We hate to shatter our
image in Miami.
Two of our redneck juries
heard evidence presented in
the murder trials of Freddie
Pitts apd Wilbert Lee. Two
different juries returned
guilty verdicts.
Then, on the basis of a con-
fession from an inmate in
Starke, Gov. Reubn Askew
(who doesn't like us rednecks
either because we didn't vote
for him) began a campaign to
pardon Pitts and Lee.
I He finally got the consent of
the three required Cabinet


members, who admitted they
hadn't reviewed the case tho-
roughly. One even went so far
as to say Pitts and Lee had
already served 12 years, so
whether or not they were
guilty, they should be re-
leased.
Gov. Askew, basking in the
applause from the liberals in
search of a cause, took the
sideshow one step further. He
proposed paying the two men
for the years they spent in
prison.
To make the whole affair
more ludicrous, the inmate in
Starke who reportedly confes-

ders later refused to confess

Commissioner Doyle Conner.
The worst aspect of the inci-
dent is the irresponsibility of
some members of our own
profession. A journalist must
maintain his objectivity by
reporting all the facts, Opi-
nions should be limited to the
editorial page.
Many reports on the Pitts-
Lee case from other parts of
the state were, at best, slant-
ed. Some journalists have vio-
lated one of the basic tenets of
our' profession by assuming


the innocence of the accused
and by painting them as
martyrs to juries of hard-boil-
ed racists. Moreover, the
other side of the story--evi-
dence against Pitts and Lee-
was often deliberately sup-
pressed.
We won't attempt to pass
judgment on the two men. Two
juries have already done that.
We do charge the guilty
journalists, Cabinet members
and the governor for acting on
the basis of partial facts. We
seriously question their
motives-it appears the whole
group acted on behalf of them-

Does orange juice fight colds? Ask any
orange grower from central and south Florida
and they will answer, "Definitely". Ask anybody
else and they will probably divide their answer
between "definitely" and "maybe", to'"I don't
know" and "ridiculous!"
This question has now been researched and
the researchers have decided they can't tell. You
would think that people who know how to go
about testing such things would be able to com*
to some definite conclusion. The researchers sa ,
the fact people believe to some extent that
orange juice will prevent colds does as much as
the juice itself toward preventing the cold.
One thing about it, whether you believe I
orange juice will fight colds or not, it won't help,
unless you drink it. That's according to the
research.

Rotarians Hear of Seminole Booster Work


Officials of the Seminole
Boosters of Tallahassee and
an assistant coach: with the
FSU football coaching squad
spoke to the Rotary Club last
Tiart-I.Ay describing the op-,
erations of the Boosters and
the prospects for the football
season.
Claude Thigpen, ticket man-
ager for FSU introduced the


two ..p, akcr : and told Rotar-
ians tickets were available for
all home games for the com-
ing season. "The only excep-
tion will probably be the
Auburn game", Thigpen said.
"You should get ,tickets for
that game in advance."
Charlie Hill told the club the
Seminole Boosters have un-
derway a working program


for ..i 'l's people to the
t. iiL- m, ,.- .:. -:.. the Sem -
inoles. "We have pushed a
successful project of season
ticket sales" he said "and we
work on c~r.1I phases of
FSU. The program not phly
simply good business for the
town and the school for us to


promote school activities."
Hill said the over-all athletic
program at FSU is outstand-
ing pointing to the usual habit
,of having a good football
program as well as :. :
. ,. .... baseball and bas-
ketball.
Frank Vaughan, an assist-
ant coach at FSU admitted
that the -,, team has


been losing for the past two
years, but said ?.a -: were
changing. "Our kids have
character", he said, "ane ,
are going to show that charac-
ter this year by playing some

Vaughan pointed out that
the school has good support
and said this is what is needed
to get back on top.


A Nationwide- Consumer
Service Program designed to
improve and broaden the qua-
lity of mail service was an-
nounced this week by Post-
master Chauncey Costin.
On October 1, the U. S.
Postal Service introduced a
program at the Port St. Joe
Post Office and other offices
across the nation to encourage
mail users to register pro-
blems ,rn..* may have with
their mail service.
Atthecore.TI 'l r'- pr i li is
a consumer service card,
....0 which problems are
identified and which postal
managers --rf.' to i-,.-5
tiously resolve.
The Consumer Service Pro-
gram reflects Postmaster
General Benjamin F, Bailer's
determination that mail ser
vice to the i;'L -will be
r courteous and ef-
: as well as i" and

"Good service is :.a far
broader concept that just fast
mail ll'.'i''l' as important
as that is," the Postmaster
General says. "It is also built
on employee courtesy, our
responsiveness to customer
needs, the ..1-.!I- and un-
l. *I w w :., e bring to your
.... .. ..... -....' what good
postal service is allabout.
Postmaster .< urged
customers in Port St. Joe and
S...' .area to, bring their
ha' i 't and ,' 'i to
the attention of postal man-


agers. And if people feel their
problems have not been pro-
perly handled, the Postmaster
said, they should see him per-
sonally.
To make it easier for a cus-
tomer to make a ze, --.'nor
... .'l', about postal ser-
:.:. the new consumer ser-
vice card will be available
from carriers and at post
offices.
1i_ l: 1^ I to Postmaster
v..-.o. the card is two 0.';*..
cards with a carbon paper
between them. "One copy
goes to me so work can begin
on the problem," he said.
"The other goes to the Postal
Service ?1*..'r* in

analysis. The cards will help
management spot problem
areas and trends and take
corrective action if neces-
sary."


The Consumer Service Pro-
gram was tested earlier this.

m a n av mman awa s


By Joe St. Clair
It was Emerson who said
in 1871: "If a man can write
a better book, preach a
better sermon or make a
better mouse trap than his
" .i-t&tl-i the world will
make a beaten path to his
door."
Ot -l s. f i ll it you hear
the portion of this quote
about the mouse trap. We
very seldom hear it in its
full content. The book. .
the sermon. these are
both important and in all
probability the most impor-
tant part of the statement.
If everyone set out to
tll_',1 l';*'.k r mouse traps--
the world would soon be
depleted of mice, and the
new traps would not exist.
Better books? Better ser-
mons? We believe there
will always be a demand
for these. These are the es-
sentials that make better
people, and not fewer mice.
Be sure and quote Emer-
son in full context. I'm sure
he was more interested in
better' books and sermons
that mouse traps. We all
should be, too.
OUR THOUGHT TO RE-
MEMBER: IF IT HELPS
OTHERS, IT IS A GREAT
ACCOMPLISHMENT.

Sharks Bomb Favored Walton Braves, 28-6


After struggling to a 6-6 tie
with Defuniak Springs Walton
High here Saturday night, the
Sharks bounded back in the
second half to take a 28-6 win
over the favored Braves.
, The Braves scored first,
with 1:56 remaining in, the
first quarter on a 10 yard run
by Donhie Johnson. The
Braves had received a Shark
punt on their own 26 yard line
and in nine plays Johnson had


Rick -Hatcher jumps for
pass interception in Satur-
day's game. The pass was
intended for Walton's Dexter
Barge. Star Photo


scored.
Capitalizing on two breaks
which came late in the second
period, the Sharks put six
points on the board to end the
first half with a 6-6 tie. The
first break came late in the
second period when the
Sharks jumped on a Brave
fumble on their 23 yard line.
A John Owens pass was.
intercepted by Aubrey Camp-
bell. Three plays later, Tim
Hatcher had intercepted a
Brave pass and the Sharks
started toward the goal again
from their foes' 37.
Rick Hatcher, running from
the halfback slot, took the
.hand-off from Owens and pas-
sed on the option to Ronald
Daniels on the Brave 16.
Owens then hit Preston Gant
in the end zone with a 16 yard
aerial to tie the score. The
kick for the extra point was
blocked by Walton.
In the third period, Ronald
Daniels recovered a Brave
fumble in enemy territory on
the 41 yard line. In eight plays,
the Sharks had worked the
ball to the Brave seven when
they were socked with a 15
yard penalty. On the first
play after the penalty, Dan-
iels whipped around end and
ran 21 yards for the score.
Hatcher then hit Greg Abrams
in the end zone with a pass for
two extra points, giving the
Sharks a 14-6 lead.
The Braves threatened to'
close the gap late in the third
period when they scooped up a
Shark fumble on the Shark 23.
They moved to the 10 before-
Chester Fennell caught the
Braves' Lance Stewart on the
seven. On the next play, Steve
Cloud and Daniels put the
Braves' quarterback on his
back on the 10 with u..'.r ,.
down coming up. An .t'.-T".;.


.ed field goal on fourth down
went wide and ended the last
Brave chance at a score for
the night.
The. Sharks climaxed a 69
yard drive in the final period
with 3:49 left on the clock
when Robert Farmer plunged
over from the one.
On the first play by the
Braves after the kick, Steve
Cloud sacked Brave quarter-
back Richard Stafford and
forced a fumble. Preston Gant
was right on top of the action
and scooped up the ball run-
ning, untouched, for 33 yards
to wind up the scoring for the
night.
The Shark offense was
sparked by the usual good
performance of Robert Far-
mer who had 91 yards for the
night. Exciting Ronald Dan-
iels had 44 yards in six carries
and had two long runs for
touchdowns called back by
:. r,:,-: New addition Rick
Hatcher added punch to the
'.':.re ,'. his pin-point pas-
sing from the halfback slot.
Defense was again the long
suit for the Sharks, scooping
up five Brave fumbles and
intercepting two passes in
eight attempts by the Walton
eleven.
Chester Fennel chalked up
seven tackles, .Tim Hatcher,
another new player had six
tackles and an ;*,,r '..- !,-..i
Greg Abrams and "J, ..- Eth-
ridge each had six tackles.
Fennell and ..tr.',,'- each
added four assists.

Have you taken a look at Miami's
schedule? If they can come out of it
alive, it's a tribute to the players and
coaches. The past weekend had several
surprises, but none more so than the
Hurricanes holding Oklahoma to a
20-17 win. Imagine opening with Geor-
gia Tech, Oklahoma,, Nebraska, Colo-
rado and Houston. Five rated teams in /
a row. Then they get a break with j
Boston College, Navy and Florida
State. These three should seem like
vacations after the first five. Then t
finishing with Notre Dame and Florida.
I realize schedules are made yeats in advance and it's
admirable to want to play the best, but to say this schedule
is ambitious is putting it more than a little mildly.

again with these:

study in order to determine
Show much dirt they would
have to move".
Gehrig said his firm would
completely survey the city to
determine which way drain
water would have to be. routed
on-each street and outline the
complete project.
The estimated price for the
study would be in the neigh-
borhood of $25,000.
The reason for taking the
move toward seeking profes-
sional help in the drain pro-
gram is that too many. pro-
jects have been installed to
take care of surface water in
the past, which did not work.
Gehrigs proposal will hbe
considered by the City Com-
mission at their next meeting,
next Tuesday night.

Having a high deer popu-
lation can be good for a hunt-
er, but the free-roaming spir-
its also can mean trouble for
farmers. Florida, like most
states, has a problem with
deer and the large amount of
damage they can inflict upon a


farmer's crop.
But one ambitious farmer in
Missouri has come up with an
innovative way to solve that
problem, according to the
Missouri Department of Con-
servation.
The farmer didn't want the


deer browsing in his orchard,
so, the Department reported,
he made a trip to the St. Louis
Zoo and got some lion and
tiger manure.

The farmer made a paste of
the manure, smeared it on his


trees, and presto-no more
deer.
Farmers wishing to repeat
this procedure are advised not
to contact the Game and
Fresh Water Fish Commis-
sion, but the local zoo for the
address of the nearest lion.

|Alcohol Questions,


Saturday Is Punt, Pass, Kick Day


Dear Clay,
My mother is hiding bottles
of liquor in the house. What
can I do when I find them?
What I think I should do is
dump them out.
Sincerely,
L. B.
Dear L. B.
We know from experience
that breaking the bottles,
pouring out the whiskey and
filling the bottle with water, or
getting rid of them doesn't
help much. The alcoholic will
just get angry and buy more
with money that is needed for
other things.
Don't play games with your
mother about hidden bottles.
Let her know that you are
aware that they are there.
This at least puts a stop t9 the
.con. act and may even open
the door for atrap session with
your mother about how you
feel about her drinking.
r.Another suggestion would
be instead of dumping bottles,
go to youi local Alcohol Coun-
seling and Information Cen-
ter. Those people may be able
t47 help you with the problem
ydu are having with your
neither's drinking.
Sincerely,
;, Clay
Dear Clay,
:Is it harmful to drink alcohol
yhen using medication?
Sincerely,
SA. G.
Dear. A.G.,
:"YES", excessive drinking
with prescribed drugs can
lead to an accidental over-
d.se. No one can accurately
pr-edict what's going to happen
when two or more drugs are
-mixed. Another factor is that
yn1ivi" udb


Dear Clay,
In my opinion, using drugs
is worse than the use of alco-
-hol. I would much rather see
my son come home high on
alcohol instead of drugs.
Sincerely,
G. G.
Dear G.G.
One important point that I
think you have missed is that
alcohol is a drug. It is the
number one drug problem in
our country today. This is'true
for teeangers as well as
-adults.
A high on alcohol, like any
other drug, .is showing some
kind of. need that your son


can't express or show in any
other way. If your child turns
out to be an alcoholic, the
physical and mental damage
from alcohol is just as severe
or worse than with "hard
drugs".
One thing more, withdrawal
from alcohol is medically
more dangerous than with so-
called "hard drugs".
Clay

This is a weighted average based on a comparison of projected
1975 and 1976 sales of all models of Mercury cars and our
computation of EPA test results for combined city "tih.i ,
testing mix. While most of our cars improved for 1976
on the EPA Cityf/Highway basis, some 1976 nI,. ;,, improve-
ments were not as dramatic as this average since their big
improvements were made in 1975 models-like our MPG cars
introduced in June. Note: California cars have different results.
