Eldridge Money Named Chairman Somebody Wants Us to Have An Airport County Commissioner Eldridge Money was selected by his fellow board members Tuesday morning to serve as chairman of the group for the coming fiscal year. Money is in the last year of his first four year term of office. The Board also employed all its employees for another year. Money succeeds Otis Davis, Jr., to the position of -', , chairman. Somebody in state govern- ment has decided Port St. Joe and Gulf County needs an airport. At Tuesday's County Com- mission meeting, Wilson Haw- thorn, a representative of : Associates, aviation consultant and ,i L .- i- ists, said they had been sent to: Gulf County by state organiza- tions to offer their services in ' making an airport master plan for the county. Hawthorn said he was advised by the Department of I r. .'.." .|.' ". i to approach the county and offer his services. Hawthorn said his firm, which ., .'- : -, in airport studies and ,.. -iet.,' reports 'would like to provide the county with a 20 year look at the needs of aviation in the county. "Our study would include financial -_..'ir,, environmental impact stu- dies, financial sources and facilities needed". The plan- ning representative said the .planning service was avail- able '.i.ri cooperative tur..''''I He said the Federal Aviation Agency would pay two-thirds of the cost for such a study while DOT would pay one-sixth, leaving the county responsible for one-sixth the cost. Hawthorn said the cost for such a study was hard' to determine, but would run in the neighborhood of $25,000. The representative went on to say airport construction could also be financed from the. same sources with the same percentages of partici- pation. 4 Since the representatives came to the Commission cold, the Board was hesitant to give the firm an answer and re- Commended the firm repre- sentatives meet with the county's airport committee and give their presentation and let the committee make a recommendation to the coun- ty. WORKMAN'S COMP PROBLEM The County continues to have problems with its Work- man's Comprehensive insur- ance. Nobody wants to sell the county the insurance without putting it into the assigned risk pool which makes the coverage almost prohibitive in price. Hannon Insurance Agency told the Board last month, his firm was cancelling the insur- ance and he could offer the coverage only on assigr '4 risk "in the future. The reasu. for the cancellation was due to the tremendous increase in claims against the insurance. v Hannon pointed out the claims had increased dramatically over the past few years. He said the firm he represented would not continue to absorb losses on the iP..' , Bids were received on the insurance coverage Tuesday, but no regular rate bids were received. Graddy Insurance r *.p.>, of Wewahitchka of- fered coverage at assigned risk for $33,378.00 .per year. Hannon said this would be the price for any firm to write the coverage under assigned risk-the same plan he had offered as .a replacement a month ago, Both Graddy and Hannon agreed what the county need- ed most to reduce its premium was a safety program. "You have three persons in your employ which are costing you $15,000 in extra premiums each year", .11+' said. The Board decided to get coverage under the assigned risk rating ** .C the Han- non Agency and take steps to inaugurate a safety education program in an effort to reduce the premiums. ROAD PROBLEMS The Board is still plagued with road problems as the result of -heavy rains and storms t,,- .. the year.

" They said "Cheer up, things could be worse". After all'the week's and months of gloomy news, there is one ray of sunshine to report this week: the M',,.:.ti Hospital re- ported a small profit at the end of its fiscal year, Septem- ber 30, after several years of deficit operation. 'Administrator Leon Winkler filed his final financial report with the Hospital Board at their .- .* '* Tuesday eve- ningwhich reported a modest ." of $9,451.03 for the previous year of operation. The i." is modest, since it came from $625,317.50 worth of business which went through the : last fiscal year. After three or'four years of deficits of up to $80,000, the t., i,,r) Board would have settled for $1.00 profit and been pr .a', satisfied. Winkler reported the finan- cial report, showed $31,874.00 which are considered bad debts. In addition to the *'*:, ... picture, the P... ' paid for $5,000 worth of reno- vation which included repairs to plaster walls, i,+.r.'r new drapes for rooms, new I -* '' -. S.. -., etc., which is giving the .;:- a brighter look inside. The Board has budget- ed $10,000 for this renovation program which is still in progress and about half com- pleted. The :H-.'. also paid out l.. i"'. for a new roof during the fiscal year. Helicopter Ambulance Available Id Gulf .-. A'. Volunteer Am- bulance Service, through the efforts of Port St. Joe squad : chief Dick Lamberson this week made arrangements to -provide for emergency trans- fer service from Gulf County to medical cen- ters. Lamberson has been in con- tact with the U. S. Army helicopter training center at W.Ma; ; ,4Dothan, Alabama, to provide "the emergency transfer ser- vice for Gulf County patients. The Army sent one of its helicopter ambulances here to Port St. Joe Monday of this -week to make the final ar- rangements with the county ambulance service and set up pick-up points. The air ambu- lance service will be offered free to the county and.- to patients served. Lamberson said Gulf Coun- ty falls just inside the opera- tions perimeter of the Dothan base, allowing them to offer the service through their training program. Also, ac- cording to Lamberson, the transfer service will be pro- vided on an emergency basis only. Under the new program, should the county have a patient needing special care Captain James Canik and Captain David Thompson show Rogers how to transfer patient from ambulance to on an emergency basis, the ambulance squad chief Dick Lamberson and EMT Bob helicopter.

Parents Object to Contents of Book Books which should be ban- ned from the High School Library drew attention of parents this past week, after being discussed at the regular meeting of the Gulf County School Board Tuesday night of last week. The book which drew all the attention was entitled, "Great American Plays" and con- trained the script of one "American play" they didn't think was so great. They wanted it removed because of its objectionable language. What the parents didn't know was that they were about 10 days too late.

I hope that we will not have to face another Eloise in the future, but if we do, I feel confident that we will get the same cooperation as we did on this storm. Raymond Lawrence, Gulf County Sheriff Dear Mr. Ramsey, Keep The Star flying. We look forward for it each week. The Star keeps my wife and me posted on all the events in and around our beloved town of Port St. Joe. Respectfully yours, H. F. Ayers Scottsdale, Arizona evenings and the darkness during the night. And there could have always been some kind of beauty in the shapes and fantastic images that pass ..,':'..,' by during the quiet- ness and softness of darkness. This remarkable beauty seen only at : .., and dark- ness could refresh the invisi- ble and silent permissible part of man that perhaps shuns the glamor and brightness of noonday. One day a man suggested that we needed street lights on Main Street. His opponent pointed out in rebuttal that the only use of the street at night was by an occasional bunch of dogs. The dogs weaving in and out, snapping and yelping at each other in a kind of drifting circular motion while flowing down the *street toward the depot, would remind one of a dry-land tidal wave-if there was ever such a wave. The street light opponent also said that the dogs knew what they were doing and did not need street lights. Later on progress won out, and we enjoyed the beauty of electric lights in the streets ,and homes. To enjoy the con- venience of light by just the flick of a switch gave one a wonderful feeling of achieve- ment. But perhaps this fine feeling did not replace the grand old feeling of carrying home from the commissary store a gallon can of kerosene with good sized Irish potato stuck over the pouring spout of the can to keep the kerosene from sloshing out on the legs. The fun of trimming-the lamp wick, exhaling through the glass lamp globe, and polish- ing the globe with a piece of old newspaper was lots of fun. How bright the, lamp seem- ed to shine, even through a drawn window shade when the young people would return home late at night from a social event. The lamp was kept burning by the wonderful and untiring love of mothers who wanted to know and see that their precious children were back home and safe on one more time through the sometimes friendly, but beau- tiful darkness of night. Fifth Street to the Florida First National Bank as anglers from Florida, ma and Georgia tried their luck. Most of the unusual influx of fishermen ortsmen was due to the channel at Mexico Beach being clogged and to allow boats to get into the Gulf from Mexico Beach.

I think it's time for Americans to demand that Congress live within OUR means. I really don't know who they think is paying the bills up there in Washington, but it ieels like it's you and I. Carry on Jerry; make those Congressmen toe the line and bring their spending in line with our income. Washington isn't the only place blessed with law-makers who have unusual ideas. Down in Miami, Florida Representative Alan Becker is proposing the State go in hock and buy all the electric utility firms in the state and operate them as public corporations. Rep. Becker says such a move would save utility users on their bill. I say Rep. Becker must have stuck his finger in an electric socket served by one of those utility firms and addled his thinker. In the first place, the utilities are worth too much money. Tallahassee Democrat editor Malcolm Johnson says it would take seven times the present amount of money owed by the state on all its capital investments to purchase the state's electric utilities. And with the track record of the state and federal government in running business operations, it would take at least half as much money again each month to pay the bills to the utility. Consider if you will: utilities are worth roughly twice the annual Florida budget. If you figure real close the taxes you pay for gasoline, sales tax, auto license tax, beverage tax, cigarette tax, corporate taxes charged to you, etc., you will see that it costs more than your power bill to operate a business half as large as your electric company. If you buy a car this year, you will pay more in sales tax on that automobile than your electric bill will run in three or four months; even if you have one of 1 those $100 a month monstrosities. No thanks, Rep. Becker: if you don't mind just let us struggle along with the fuel adjustment, the rate adjustment, the franchise j tax, and fight it out periodically with the Public Service Utility over our electric bills. We couldn't take the Legislature setting the rate. ~,,,,,,,,,,,,, ~,-Aa~aaPs~Pr~Rsu_~b~ACTVI'PYY-U .^wwtf^AIww- ^^^ -^ w THE ST"AR, Port St. Joe~, Fla.

Star Photo 45 years ago,we were the kind of banks that -----F Florida needed. r aF .. In 1930, when Florida and the nation were in the midst of a financial crisis, the new president of the Florida National Bank of Jacksonville believed that Florida lacked a sufficiently conservative banking system. In an interview with the press he said: "Banks are public trusteeships. Their primary object should be the safe custodianship of the money entrusted to them.... If all Florida banks had had this in mind there would have been no failures." That's what our founder, Alfred I. duPont, said 45 years ago. That's what the Florida National Banks believe today. No other banks in the billion-dollar class have as high a capital ratio as we do. And that's just one of the reasons that people call us "The Old Reliable".

If you are going to do what you say, then your friend might have to straighten you out! The liver is the organ which gets rid of most of the alcohol in your body. It removes the alcohol at a constant rate, no matter how much alcohol you consume. The rate of removal is about one (1) ounce per hour of alcohol. If your friend drinks less than an ounce of alcohol an hour, he may never become intoxicated at all. But you may become intoxicated because you will be drinking more than one (1) ounce of alcohol per hour. One more, is that this does vary from one individual to. another. f you have any _: please submit to Sum- merville, 321 Reid Ave., Port St Joe. 7- will be answered in this column.
