IE STA Industry Deep Water Port Fine People Safest Beaches in Florida PORT ST. JOE" FLORIDA THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1975 I * 15 Cents Per Copy I mix i-nsn in a ti ,J*V*IC j -* - 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. the list of those proposing the purchase, furnished-with the letter of intent to seek the purchase lists. 48 ;.ar".e.? 16 of which list their residence 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, Local interests fit the remainder' of the fpr-.ilbpr should remain in private ownership for d~w.-,)opmtnnt as a vacation or recreation area.

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 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- State Wants This Area I .1 i I t I .1 i 2 i I I I I ST JOSEPH B.

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- Now that the storm is over and a cold air mass seemed destined to cause two others to fizzle out (at least this was the outlook last :turd,~i we can all sit back and relax and enjoy our unaccustomed fall season.

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.

"Come and Worship God With Us" 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.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1975 PAGE SEVEN 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.

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. Since we had a pretty good week last week we'll try it again with these: Alabama Auburn LSU Georgia Mississippi State Penn State Vandy Georgia Tech Ohio State Michigan State Ole Miss Virginia Tech Florida Clemson So.

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. WART.,, TO BUY? TO SELL?

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.
