Most of the criti- 'cisms of Ellison were for the first two years in office for Lawrence and were answered as mostly due to a mis-under- standing of the proper way to keep the required records. Ellison's report stated the Sheriff's office showed no glaring deficiencies but had several instances in which records and reports were fil- led out improperly or incom- plete. The biggest complaint of J. P. Fleishe Resident, Di J. Percy Fleishel, 72, a resi- dent of Mexico Beach, died at 6:00 a.m. Friday in Bay Memorial Hospital. Mr. Fleishel was a member of the Presbyterian Church, a graduate of Syracuse Univer- sity, a former Rotarian and had resided in Port St. Joe for 25 years. Survivors include his wife, M;s. Gladys M. Fleishel of Mexico Beach; a daughter, Mrs. Fay Pridgeon and three grandchildren, Phyllis, Tim and Michael Pridgeon, all of Tallahassee,; -a sister, Mrs. Bette Maltby of Syracuse, New York; and three stepchil- dren, John Zeb Felder of Bay St. Louis, Miss., Mrs. W.

Sheriff Lawrence defended the action by replying that the purchase was for specialized radio equipment required of the department which was delay- ed in installation. The equip- ment was ordered and paid for in fiscal 1973-74 and delivered in Decemer, 1974, three months into the following fis- cal year. The Sheriff was criticised for paying his wife $341.40 for work performed in the depart- ment. The Sheriff said the pay "was for some part time work and no one else was available 1, Long-Time ed Friday ama City. Funeral services were held at 3:00 p.m. Sunday at the Presbyterian Church of Port St. Joe, with the Rev. Robert. M. Bay, pastor officiating. Interment followed in the family plot of Holly Hill Cemetery. Active pallbearers were Bill Terrace, Jimmy Costin, Bruce Hinson, Charles Smith, Joe Mira and J. Lamar Miller. Honorary pallbearers were J. B. Harris, John Robert Smith, Henry Campbell, Sam Mor- gan, Basil Kenney, Jr., C. H. Belvin, Charles R.

The Sheriff said he has since repaid the money to the county after learning the fam- ily of an official cannot work in his office by Florida Sta- tute. Other criticisms<'were of incomplete record keeping, according to state require- ments. The deficiencies were in the areas of petty cash account, gasoline inventory records, and automobile ex- penses being kept on each individual auto. The Sheriff said his depart- ment has since adopted the state method of keeping these records. The Sheriff was criticized for using his 'car and the Department gasoline credit card for a personal trip, but the report showed Lawrence had reimbursed the county for the travel expenses after his trip. The Sheriff defended his use of the car by saying he felt he should'have adequate and immediate transportation should he be called back to duty by an emergency. Lawrence was also written up for providing, at Depart- ment expense, insurance cov- erage for members of the Sheriff's Auxiliary. Ellison said there was no precedent in Florida law to cover this expenditure. ' Lawrence stated the Auxili- ary members served without pay, facing danger, in their duties, and he felt the least the Department could do was to adequately insure them against injury. Ellison found that, due to a bookeeping error, Sheriff Lawrence was overpaid $31.03 in fiscal 1973, which has since been repaid the county. The County Commission were still playing "catch up" on their business Tuesday night, after missing both meetings in the month of September. The five hour meeting saw such activities as taking 30 minutes on deciding whether or not to supply the Civil Defense Director, Rich- ard Lancaster with a master key to the building and taking five minutes to spend $5,000 on repairs for tractors and drag- lines. The Board received working drawings on the new ambu- lance headquarters which will be built adjacent.to the Court iHouse from architect Charles Arthur Gaskin and instructed him to send out for bids on the dence address, home tele- phone number, place of em- H carry B r ployment, sex, date of birth, height, and race to be written on the check.

If the check is returned marked "NO ACCOUNT", then such notice is waived. Forms for presenting the 20 day notice are available at the Sheriff's office. The new law aids prosecu- tion and also helps located the maker of the worthless check. The certified or registered let- ter is not required but is recommended. Any party holding a worthless check and giving the maker notice by registered or certified mail, will be entitled to the $5.00 or five percent, and shall be im- mune from civil liability for criminal prosecution of the maker.

Over 7,000 students were nominated last February by their English teachers for NCTE Achievement Awards in Writing. Each nominee submitted a sample of her best writing and an impromptu essay. These compositions were evaluated by state judg- ing teams of both high school and college English teachers. The approximately 850 win- ners selected each year repre- sent high schools in all 50 states, the District of Colum- bia and American schools abroad. The number of possi- ble winners for each state is keyed to state population. The Council recommends communicate with the hospi- tal for emergency treatment in the field. Many of the treatments which EMT's are trained to give must be ap- proved by a doctor before they can be administered. Lamberson estimated the cost of the communications material to be about $30,000. He said Health and Rehabili-' tative Services had matching money for half the cost and possibly the Governor's High- way Safety Program would contribute 25 percent of the cost. Otto Collinsworth and Ervin Scovill complained to the Board that contractors paving roads in the St. Joe Beach. area had dug a ditch and opened a culvert which was draining Kenny Lake and flooding the downhill residents below the lake. The Board said the contrac- tor or the State Department of Transportation had no permis- sion from the Board to drain the lake. Collinsworth asked the Board to take measures to close the hole in the lake side preventing future drainage and allowing the lake to fill up again. Collinsworth said the lake never overflowed and was no problem to anyone. The Board said they would take necessary steps to repair the damage caused, by the contractor.

NUMBER 9 Lawrence Explains Law On Issuing Bad Checks atcher First Local Student national Award In Writing I imI -m n4 o - - PAGE TWO THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY, OCT. 30, 1975 In the past we have found very little in which we could agree with Governor Reubin Askew. This has been particularly true with actions of the Governor which directly -affected Gulf County. We find no trouble at all in agreeing with a statement the 'Governor made last week in a speech before the governor's confer- ence in which he 'said, "Legalized casino gambling would destroy the tourist industry iq Florida". We couldn't agree with the Governor more. The Governor claims many tourists come to Florida because, they can bring their families to beaches, parks, and decent and wholesome family attractions. In his presentation to the governors, As- kew pointed out that the average stay of a tourist in Florida is 18 days"; compared to four days in Las Vegas where prices are lower. "Surely this must mean that Florida has some- thing more to offer people than roulette wheels", he said. The Governor missed one good point to illustrate that Florida's tourists are seeking good clean entertainment. A visit to Disney World near Orlando should convince any skeptic that the bulk of the tourists go where their children can enjoy themselves. In the case of Disney World, the adults seem to flock to the attraction to get good, clean entertainment for themselves as well. It might also be noted that Disney World has caused to be built in Orlando the world's largest concentration of tourist rooms. These are currently enjoying an upsurge of business. This means people are flocking to clean enter- tainment in Orlando more so than they are to the gambling-attractions of Las Vegas. The Governor has good argu- ments on his side and we think he has chosen the: proper side in this matter. There is a unified effort by :-ah organized group to see that. Florida adopts the practice of allowing the operation of casino gambling in those counties which want it. We hope the Governor will stand firm in his opposition and that private citizens who feel in a like manner will be just as vocal as the proponents of casino gambling. We saw something Monday night on the way home from the : office we wanted t& see and didn't want to see. We didn't want to see the man :. lying on the pavement on Fifth Street with an apparent heart at- tack; no heartbeat and no breathing. He had been struck down while driving his car, which swerved into a post and stopped. We did want to see the efficient way in which the Gulf County Volunteer Ambulance Squad were handling the situation. They were efficient and they were obviously doing what they knew how to do. They had the man stretched out and were applying heart massage and mouth to mouth resuscitation in an efficient manner. The emergency treatment continued on the transfer into the ambulance and the trip to the hospital. The man didn't revive but it wasn't because he didn't receive the proper attention soon enough. The new ambulance squad may be young and likely they will make mistakes in the future, but their performance Monday night showed they have been ushered intp adulthood in the emergency treatment business. -THE STAR- Published Every Thursday at 306 Williams Avenue, Port St. Joe, Florida By The Star Publishing Company Second-Class Postage Paid at Port St. Joe, Florida 32456 Wesley R.

Florida Doesn't Need Casino Gambling New Law Tough On Drinking Drivers A longtime problem for citi- zens of Gulf County has been that of drunken drivers on the highways. Effective January 1, 1975 new laws in this area have been passed by the State Legislature. Essentially these laws are addressed to punishment-for DWI violators. For first conviction, a mini- mum fine of $25.00 and maxi- mum of $500.00 may be assess- ed or up to six months in jail. Also the driver's license is suspended for a minimum of 90 days. For a second conviction, a maximum fine of $500.00 may be imposed along with a mini- mum of 10 days and up to six months in jail. The driver's .license is suspended for a minimum of six months. For. a third conviction, a maximum fine of $1,000.00 may be imposed with a mini- mum of 30 days and up to 12 months in jail and the license suspended for a minimum of one year and up to five years. County Court Judge, David Taunton, wishes to advise the public that the problem pre- sented to the safety of Gulf County citizens by drunken drivers is of primary concern as one of his responsibilities. Presently three individuals are serving 90 day sentences for this offense. It is recognized that many of those who drive while drink- ETAOIN SHRDLU By ESLEY R. RAMSEY Frenchie and I took off Thursday morning and went to Orlando for the remainder of the week to attend the annual meeting of the Florida League of Cities. While there, it would have been a crime against nature if we didn't go to Disney World, or, "The land of the Big Mouse" as they call it in Orlando. So we spent nearly half a day there Friday evening. They were right in the middle of their slack season when we were there. It looked as if only about 100,000 people were there. The parking lot had more cars in it than we have ever seen at a Gator Bowl game or at a Florida-FSU football game in either Tallahassee or Gainesville. If you were to pin me down, I would have to say I believe my estimate of 100,000 people was conservative. ,- .

Sooner or later this pen would bring sadness to Other Editors Say: Other Cheek Turned Long Enough It's time to ring down the curtain on the anti-American orgy which this country and its citizens have been subject- ed to for the-last 15 years. The idea of citizens of the *- most powerful nation on earth forced to cringe under the barbs of lesser countries makes no sense. This is espec- ially true when one considers that nine out of 10 of the in- sulters are on our dole. The most recent incident was at the Pan American Games in Mexico City. Here the cream of America's youngsters and athletes were insulted, spat on, kicked and slugged. The Cubans, who are out for victory for propaganda pur- poses, cannot even understand the principles of sportsman- ship, since they cannot abide losing. The attitude of the Mexican fans cannot be excused. But it can be understood when one considers the hypocrisy of the president of the nation at our southern border who seems to be looking for a niche in the history books at our expense. To claim that Mexican fans' driving a U.S. girl diver to tears by the violence of their protest is attributable to Gen. Pershing's chase of bandit Pancho Villa is ridiculous. It may .come as a shock to the dedicated one-world liber- als, but the reason the Cubans and Mexicans are angry at the American teams is because our players are better than theirs. Consistently, the U.S. takes most of the gold medals. And they are attained by win- ning, not violence. But this is only a microcosm of the problem with a goodly number of the nations of the world. Matter of fact, the Pan American games incident is analagous with the motley hash called the Third World, the underdeveloped nations. The pattern persists also in the behavior of the Organiza- tion of Petroleum Exporting Countries in its oil embargo and subsequent fixing of oil prices. It appears the time for quiet, patient tolerance of the loudmouth lands is nearing an end. The Dr. Spock permissive approach is doing little for our national esteem and welfare. Hopefully, the posture of Ambassador Daniel Patrick Moynihan at the United Nations signals a departure from the turn-the-other-cheek school of diplomacy. It was comforting to hear of him telling the U.N. it was "none of its business" what our troops were doing in South Korea and his terming Gen. Amin "a racist murderer". If we are to draw the line somewhere perhaps it should be at the U.N. and because of its blatant anti-Semitic resolu- tion backed by the Communist and right wing nations. As Moynihan stated: "There can- not since the 1930s in Germany have been as much anti-Semi- tism spoken in one chamber." There was a time, just before World War II, to dis- avow the conciliatory policy of Neville Chamberlain and adopt the stand-firm policies of Winston Churchill and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Somehow, the Vietnam era boys that owned oxen. The pen was an economic necessity during this time period as the rugged and wonderful cattlemen who had cattle on the free-grazing land in the forks of two rivers - would drive the cattle to the pen and sell to cattle buyers. The love and friendship between a boy and his ox was a beautiful thing during pio- neer times. We would cut and peel a small pine sapling tree for the construction of an ox sleigh to be pulled by the ox. Names of some of our oxen were One Spot, Little Red, and Midnight. One of the times that a boy and his ox were close friends was on a group camping trip to the nearby river. At the camp site we would prop the ox sleighs end to end around some sturdy sweetgum trees. Inside this circle, the oxen were tied to the sleighs, and inside the circle of oxen we would make our own bed for seduced us back into the Chamberlain view toward the rest of the world, especially the smaller nations. It's time for a change. -Orlando Sentinel Star the night. The low sounds coming from the breathing of the oxen, sleeping almost within arm's reach of each boy, produced a feeling of true security to our boyish imagination of move- ments seen within the dark- ness of the river swamp. There could have always been some kind of protection sig- nals emitting from all types of living life for all life. The cattle buyers would sometimes need a few more cattle to make up a shipment. Our oxen were the next to go. Watching our friend the ox go up the cattle loading-chute and disappear into the rail- road car, filled with wild and excited range cattle with their painful goring horns, was a moment of true sadness. Sure, there were to be many more wholesome loves and wonderful friends later on in life, but in this dark moment a little hostility could have covered our hearts for- ever. Perhaps love to all small boys should always be outgo- ing and never restrained. The love we restrain today could have something to do with the- almost inescapable hostility often found in our tomorrows. either the parade or Disney World. Both had left no detail uncovered in furnishing entertainment both pleasing to the eye and titillating to the senses. We bought an $8.00 book of tickets for each of us and used only one of them out of each book to see the Country Bears, but still thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon going into free attraction after free attraction. The best thing I saw was the Parade of Presidents. After the introduction is over, the curtain rises and there are all of our presidents sitting and standing on the stage. All are animated, but they move, blink their eyes, squirm in their chairs and whisper to their neighbor. It takes a while before you realize they are not real people in disguise.

Before and after our visit to see the "Big Mouse", we spent our time in discussions and meetings trying to get a solution to the many , problems which face Port St. Joe and all cities of Florida. I confess, I thought these meetings were just excuses to get away from home, relax and enjoy * yourself. I was wrong. This particular meeting had sessions starting at 8:30 every morning and we stayed with it until 11:00 Thursday night and 10:00 in the final meeting Saturday night. Cities in Florida face an uncertain future, as, I'm sure cities from all over the nation face. Here we face a future within the next two years of having to come up with a plan to dispose of our solid waste (garbage) in a manner other than what we are now doing. The garbage must not be allowed to pollute the ground water. We learned at the meeting that there, is no reasonably economical way to do this at the present time for cities the size of Port St. Joe. Large cities such as Miami, Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa and St. Petersburg can install reclamation units which will meet the standards. Small cities cannot. So, Port St. Joe has the problem of coming up with a plan to dispose of its solid waste in two years when there is no way available at this time. That should keep us busy a while. Cities also face problems from declining revenues, increasingly complex state require- ments and regulations, especially in the areas of pollution. The main thrust of the meeting was to try to * arrive at a solution to the financial problem and settle on methods to persuade the Florida Legislature to quit strangling cities with their requirements. Senator Lawton Chiles spoke to us at noon Saturday and said he would cast his vote to continue Revenue Sharing but he would hold his nose while he did it. I personally oppose revenue sharing. Too many cities are using the money to pay their bills instead of using it to put into capital improve- ments which will not require dependance on revenue sharing for their operation. Even Gulf County has placed a portion of its revenue sharing funds into their budget for next year. Cities from all over the state admitted at the convention that they were paying salaries and buying supplies with the federal money. This I isn't what it was designed for and one has to do some finagling to use it in this manner. If Senator Chiles will offer some amend- ments restricting further the use of the funds, he may not have to pinch his nose quite so hard A when he casts his vote in favor of the money bill.

When the first down was exe- cuted, Mike Etheridge carried the ball for 14 yards, setting up second down and six, with Farmer running the b6ll for no gain. On third down, the Sharks picked up .another illegal procedure and'finally on fourth down from the 27, Rick Hatcher mishandled the snap on an attempted punt and was trapped behind the line for a 12 yard loss. The defeat leaves the Sharks with a 6-1 record and Chipley 7-0 thus far in the season. Both Chipley and St. Joe are tied for first place in their respective districts and could conceiva- bly meet again in the second game of District play-offs. St. Joe will have to beat Blountstown to take the play- off berth in District Three and Chipley will have to defeat Graceville, also 7-0. The win- ner of District Three would play the winner of District Four (Blountstown or St. Joe against Santa Fe). The winner of District one and two (prob- ably Chipley and Pace) would also compete with the winners of each pair for the next ad- vancement to the state playp offs.

The team, headed by Lovett Williams of the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commis- sion, will be working under the auspices of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service as it seeks to find answers to the dramatic decline of the eastern brown pelican. One of North America's most familiar water birds, these pelicans used to be a common sight around docks. and piers, waiting for a hand- out from a fisherman or dramatically diving in to the waves to catch their own. But, since 1960, the birds have gone into a sudden and mysterious decline, vanishing almost entirely from Louisi- ana and Texas and becoming seriously reduced in South Carolina. Only in Florida do they appear to be successfully breeding and maintaining their former abundance. The pelicans',decline was so rapid that the exact cause is still unknown. It now appears that pesticides such as DDT and endrin could have been responsible with. both chemi- cals known to be the cause of heavy mortality in adults and young today. The team will first assemble all the data so far gathered in NOTICE TO RECEIVE SEALED BIDS The Board of County Commissioners. of Gulf County will receive sealed bids from any person, company, or corpora- tion interested in purchasing the fol. lowing described personal property.

Be sure and see it soon S Remember By Joe St. Clair The thinking of people is in a constant evolution- ary struggle. The evolve- ment of higher ideals is being brought forth in generation after genera- tion. For this we are thankful. It was just a hundred and fifty years ago that the English stopped exe- cuting women for "witch- craft". More than 300,000 women were put to death in England in a period of 300 years-their only criow was that they were "witches." A foolish practice? Yes, we all agree! But at the time of the executions people actually believed in witches and wizards. There were many who practiced the art of witch- craft, and believed them- selves to be witches. So, we look back over4A the past hundred or so years and we see an achievement of greatness through our progressive ideals. What about a hundred years from now? Will the things we accept today as "human nature" be in the dark ages of yesterday? Will prejudices and hate some day go the way of witchcraft? This, of course, depends on us. We make our world-we set the sails to our destiny. Whether we know it or not, we are doing just that every day of our lives.

Clergymen of several de- nominations will participate in the Blessing of the Fleet at the Apalachicola River front in Battery Park at 3:30 p.m., when some 30 shrimp boats, ranging in size up to 80 feet, will steam by gaily decorated with flags and pennants of many hues. Visitors are urged to bring movie and other cameras to record the centuries-old ritual observed in Mediterrean and other countries of Europe. Each nation has-a patron marine saint, and on that -/ aint's day, or at the start of The fishing season, a church service is held. Then the priest Mother of Local *omen Dies Mrs. Catherine Loette Childs Marler Wise, 77, of Saf- e ite Beach, died Sunday, Oct. 19. She is survived by four daughters, Mrs. Ruth Sadler of Crystal River, Mrs. Fran- ces Chafin and Mrs. Peggy McFarland, both of Port St. Joe, and Mrs. June Trapp of New Orleans, La.; three sons, Charles Wise of La Marque, Texas, James Wise of Collins, Miss., and Donald Wise of Eau Gallie; 18 grandchildren; two sisters, Mrs. Minnie Smith of Florence, Ala. and Mrs. Annie Lou Guest of Sarasota; a bro- ther, Horace Childs of Ospery.

He blesses the boats and calls on God to protect the men, their boats and reward them with successful catches. As various ethnic groups migrated to America, this ritual was brought here. Other Florida cities in which the custom is observed are Fer- nandina Beach, Mayport, St. Augustine and Tarpon Springs, as well as Biloxi in Mississippi and Morgan City in Louisiana. At most blessings, one or two priests of different denom- inatins participate, but in Apalachicola the ritual will be performed by those of three major faiths. Following the invocation by the Reverend David Day of the United Methodist Church, the Rev. Father Edward Kir- by of St. Patricks Catholic Church will speak on the significance of the blessing, then as the boats move down the river and pass in review, the priests will alternate in blessing them. Participating in this year's blessing in addi- tion to Father Kirby, will be Sidney Ellis of Trinity Epis- copal Church and a priest of the Greek Orthodox Church. This ceremony is part of a full program during the Festi- val. Other events and attrac- tions include a parade, sea- food dinner, oyster shucking contest, oyster eating contest, a crab race, gospel sing, street dance and grand ball. An art sale and flea market will be busy on the downtown streets, a carnival for the kiddies, free historic tours leaving from the marina area of the park, and open house at Gorrie Museum, which contains memorabilia of the inventor of artificial ice and air conditioning. Whether you choose to plunge headlong into the festi- vities, or simply wish for a quiet day on the coast and a seafood feast, the place to be Apalachicola and the Florida on Saturday, November 1, is Seafood Festival. The Career Development Center of Gulf County has completed plans for career in- service for Gulf County teach- ers. On Monday, November 3 and again on Monday, Decem- ber 8, schools will be dismiss- ed at 1:00 p.m. so that teach- ers may visit local businesses and industries cooperating in the program. Each year two half-day in- service sessions are provided for teachers to participate in a "Know Your Community Re- sources" activity. The pur- pose of this inservice provides an opportunity for teachers to visit the various businesses and industries of the school community. Through these visits teach- ers acquire first hand know- ledge about the world or work in the community, learn what the business world expects of education, and gather occupa- tional information that will help them adapt their classes to the goals and opportunities of students. In commenting on last year's activity, Mrs. Peggy Whitfield, a teacher at High- land View Elementary School, said, "It was a great learning experience for me! I want my students to learn useful infor- mation and be able to USE what they learn. Through these visitations we are able to work cooperatively with the entire community toward helping students become suc- cessful in adult life." Gene Raffield, Vice Presi- dent and General Manager of Raffield Fisheries, said, "This type activity is long past due and I am glad the educational community has come to busi- ness and industry to become familiar with the way we can work together to prepare our future labor market for em- ployment at home."
