v a THIRTY-NINTH YEAR, NUMBER 12 Industry Deep Water Port Fine People Safest Beaches in Florida PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1975 15 Cents Per Copy City Insurance Costs Take A Giant Leap Toward Ionosphere Park Plans On Display First Contract Satisfied Band Rated "Superior" by Contest Judges Port St. Joe High School'sband travelled to Panama City Saturday afternoon to participate in the Florida State Bandmaster's Association marching contest. The band competed in the event in Tommy Oliver. Field, along with other bands of the Northwest Florida area. For the first time in several years, the band received a unanimous "Superior" rating from the judges for the event. The band was judged for their playing ability, marching expertise and the general effect of the band. The band will enter the second phase of the area judging in March of next year when they compete in the concert judging. A "Superior" rating in this competition would make the group eligible to participate in the state contest. It has been awhile since a local band has qualified for this opportunity. ,. The band is under the direction of Ray Smith, who is in his first year here at Port St. Joe High. His assistant is Miss Ann Aldridge. The band is shown in the photograph above as they appeared in Tommy Oliver Field Saturday afternoon. Star photo The County Commission- appointed committee met last Thursday morning with rep- resentatives of the prospec- tive donor for a new library building to get the donor's proposal. As a result of the meeting, the committee will recom- mend to the Gulf County Commission that they proceed with consideration of accept- ing the offer. Cub Pack Gets Active Again Port St. Joe Cub Scout Pack 47 will have its monthly meet- ing Tuesday night, November 25 at 7:30 in the St. Joe Ele- mentary cafeteria. Several awards are to be presented at this meeting.. It is important that each Cub Scout's parent or guard- ian be present. Also, anyone is interested in working in the Cub Scout program is urged to attend or contact any Den mother or the Cubmaster. Volunteers are desperately needed before a membership drive can be started, or any new Scouts added to the Pack. Early Paper Next Week The Star will be printed and delivered a day early next week due to the Thanksgiving holidays. The Star will be printed on Tuesday afternoon and be distributed through the mails on Wednesday. The publishers of the newspaper will close next weeks paper to advertis- ing and news copy next Monday afternoon at 5:00 p.m. The donor would give a, specified amount of cash and make annual payments of a stated sum for ten years for operation purposes if the coun- ty would furnish the remain- der of the money needed to build and operate the facility. No details are being made public at this time until the agreement can be worked out. Commission chairman El- dridge Money appointed a committee composed of Mon- ey, Otis Davis, Jr., Silas Player, Charles W. Brock, Tom S. Coldewey, Charles Smith, W. B. Simmons and Mrs. James T. Mceill, with William J. Rish and Mrs. Jane Patton, District Librarian to serve as ex-officio members. Money charged the commit- tee to make a study for a complete library for Port St. Joe and Wewahitchka, sug- gesting a location, building proposal, financial require- ments and operational plans. This committee is expected to begin their deliberations immediately. I Insurance, principally its cost, shook the City Commis- sion Tuesday night, when the agent writing the City busi- ness at the present, Tomlinson Insurance Agency, notified the Board their insurance coverage for the new fiscal year would run $63,479.00. This didn't include malpractice in- surance for the Municipal Hospital which will run an additional $10,000. This amounts to almost a full mill in taxes at the present valua- tion of city property. Tomlinson said rate in- creases, increased coverage on more personnel and the wastewater Treatment plant has jumped the insurance bill dramatically from the ori- ginal .three-year bid which was let two years ago. Tomlinson pointed to the difficulty of securing mal- practice insurance for the hospital but said he could offer the coverage. Tomlinson said, that in view of the present insurance mar- ket, it might be to the City's advantage to re-bid the busi- ness, even though his firm has another year to go on his contract. The Commission asked Tomlinson to come up with mal-practice figures at the next meeting and at that time, the Board would make a decision on the matter. PLAN PRESENTED Richard Barrett, of the De- partment of Community Af- fairs, presented the Board ** 10 Cases City Ends Fiscal Year In the Black Tried In Court_... Gulf County Circuit Court disposed of ten criminal cases on Monday and Tuesday of this week. Judge Larry G. Smith presided over the ses- sion. , On Monday, the case of David Phillip Graves, charged with aggravated assault, was continued to the February 16 session. .A jury ruled that Ronnie Kenneth Wood was not guilty on a charge of aggravated assault. Tuesday, a jury ruled that Willie Lee Butler was not guilty of a count of burglary and dismissed a case of break- ing and entering ..against- Johnny Mack Harrell, both of whom were charged with breaking into Rich's IGA. A case of grand larceny against Raymond and Martha Smit lwas continued to a later session of court. They are charged with moving mort- gaged furniture. Donald Earl Stark's case on a charge of three counts pertaining to narcotics was continued. Donald Dewey Brake will be sentenced today as the result of a. charge of carrying a concealed weapon, A state grand jury charge against Madaline Raffield, Sigrid Geissler and Hans Geissler for trafficking in nar- , c6tics was continued. Steve Gardner entered a guilty plea to a count of aggravated assault and was given two,. years probation. Charles Wayne Gable, charged with buying and rec- ceiving stolen goods had his case continued. Ard to Chair School Board The School Board met Tues- day evening in special session to appoint officers for the new fiscal year. The appointment sessionn was held all over the state by the various school boards in keeping with Florida law. The Gulf County Board se- lected Herman Ard of Port St. Joe to serve as their chairman for the coming year. Ard is in his first term as a school board member. Veteran board member, Kenneth Whiifield,. was nam- ed to thp post of Vice-Chair- man b, the Board.' 'V The City ended its fiscal year on October 1 and Clerk Charles Brock presented the Commission Tuesday night, with a year-end financialstatement which - showed the City ended the year with money in the bank not much, but still, money in the bank. Brock's report showed the general operating budget en4ed its fiscal year.with $55,134.25 in its operational account. This was a little less than was left last year and Brock warned that it may be more than will be left at the end of the present fiscal year if spending isn't carefully watched. - The City spent less than it had budgeted and took in :.more. .than- ;it. anticipated. Budgeted expenses for the general operation for fiscal 1974-75 was $632,871.00 The City spent $577,736.15. The City collected $709,803.64 from its various sources of revenue for the year; $76,932.64 more than anticipated. A sum of $24,944.85 was 'transferred to the Water and Sewer Department for capital expen- ditures. This doesn't mean the, City is $55,000 this side of being broke. Squirreled away , savings accounts and investments is some $337,702.79 in money set aside for replacing property and equipment, police retirement and bond sinking funds. Most of the unbudgeted income came from cigarette taxes, property taxes, miscellaneous income, interest earned on invested money and federal revenue sharing funds. Although spending was within the budget, several areas went over the anticipated needs. Repairs to streets, parks and cemeteries from adverse wea- ther conditions this year ran these budgets in the red. The storms cost the City $17,000 more than it expected to spend in these areas. The City Water and Sewer Depart- ment worked its financial program out almost even. The Department took in $1,200 more than it spent for operations. Committee Takes Its First Rotary Charity Ball Scheduled The-Port St JeRtr maeIn. advance-by-c Allng-- A The Port St. Joe Rotary Club is now making plans for their thirteenth annual charity ball, according to Chauncey Costin, chairman of the event. Costin said the ball will be held Saturday, December 6 in the Centennial Building with the Bay High School Dance Band providing the music. The Bay High Band scored a hit with those attending the ball for the Golden Anniver- sary Celebration and they are being brought back for the December affair. Tickets are now on sale by all members of the Rotary Club at $10.00 per couple. Table reservations may be made in advance by calling Ted Cannon at the Florida First National Bank at Port St. Joe. f< tl p All proceeds irom mthe ban are used each year by the Club for charitable work in the county.

Barrett had cost estimates for the job which ran to an estimated $80,000. The money for the development will be made available from a gov- ernment block grant arranged by the Northwest Florida Planning and Advisory Coun- cil. The plans are on display at the City Hall for those who are- interested to make an inspec- tion and possible recommen- dations for changes. PAY ZURN The City closed out the first phase of the various contracts which were made to construct the Wastewater Treatment plant this week, when they paid Zurn Industries $29,000 as the final payment on the incinerator for the plant. The City had been holding the money until the furnace was made operational. Zurn had signed documents signifying that the problem of the fur- nace was in a design area approved by the plant engin- eer, so the City had no recourse but to pay the bill. Variuos other portions of the plant project are still being negotiated by the City due' to problems in operation and alleged errors in the construc- tion process. OTHER BUSINESS In other matters, the Com- mission: -Received a letter from the Department of Environmental Regulation praising the City's efforts with the Wastewater Treatment plant and the de- gree of treatment being per- formed at the lant. The letter especially lauded plant man- ager Bob Simon for his efforts in making changes in the plant to make it operate properly. -Ordered the Police De- partment to survey City streets in preparation to es- tablishing a more realistic speed limit. -Instructed assistant police chief Leroy Roberson to con- tinue with his efforts recently inaugurated to collect parking fines. Roberson said he had the .unpaid tickets filed ac- cording to license numbers and is sending notices for payment. He said the system was resulting in a higher percentage of collections. Juvenile Returned On Charge A male juvenile was return- ed to Port St. Joe and charged with aggravated battery and burglary with intent to com- mitt an offense. Sheriff Raymond Lawrence stated that the juvenile appar- ently several weeks ago 'en- tered a house in Overstreet, took some money, and attack- ed a young housewife who re- turned home and surprised the intruder. The suspect fled to Georgia where he was arrested for an offense committed there. A Gulf County deputy and a Division of Youth Services counselor picked him up and brought him back to Gulf County. The juvenile is pre- sently in the DYS Dententidn Center in Panama City. Gulf County deputies inves- tigating the incidents esta- blished the identity of the sus- pect by photographs and later on in a line-up. The arrest was the result of several days' investigation by the Sheriff's office. Step In Library Projecf I~ I- C--- 0- t-1 .-aGE> TWO THE S. TRPotS. Joe.la.

We 've Started Digging e arte^ Several years ago Russian ;, Premiere Nikita Krusehev an- nounced, "We will bury you". We believe that we here in the United States will beat him to the draw. In our opinion, we took up the shovel to start digging the grave last week, when the House passed legislation raising the federal debt limit to $959 billion. We now owe $561 billion and : will take in an estimated $350 billion ;:this year. It takes no whiz at mathematics to see that our debt will have the .capability of going to three times oui annual revenue if the Senate ap- ... proves the bill. That's dangerous ground for you and I and we believe it's dangerous ground for the Fed- eral Government as well. There is no doubt in our mind -but what the Russians are chortling With glee over this news.

With the coming of the SALT treaty, neither could we wage an atomic war.- Now, all the Russians have to do, when they get ready, is to engage us in a conventional war. Even if we win the war, we will be so bankrupt after it is over, the Russians will just have. to start up their oil wells and their mines and move in and take us over. Maybe we just don't understand the situation, but it doesn't seem to be far-fetched to us. If we are going to tell New York City they were stupid in spending themselves into: bankruptcy and they need to get their financial house in order, what's wrong with applying. the same advice to the United States of America? The Port St. Joe Lions Club entertained at a zone meeting last week, and, as usual, served up their famous barbecued ribs to the members and guests who came out for the event. In the photo above, left, Lion Bob Moore shows new member Dana Holton what it means to be blind by feeding him a plate of barbecues ribs while blindfolded. Sight conservation is the national project of Drive with Care During Holiday Unless all drivers exert ex- tra care for accident preven- tion, 28 persons may be killed in traffic crashes in Florida during the Thanksgiving holi- day period said the Florida Highway Patrol this week. "The traffic watch begins at 6:00 p.m., Wednesday, Nov- ember 26, and ends at mid- night, Sunday, November 30," according to Colonel Eldrige Beach, director of the Patrol. This year's estimate is based on fatality experience observed during the past three Thanksgiving holidays along with an 11 percent decrease in traffic fatalities observed dur- ing the first 10 months of this year. "Let's demonstrate our thanks for the many blessings of this life by protecting each other from holiday accidents for what is more important than life itself," the Lions clubs. In the photo at right, chief chef Milo Smith turns a "hand" of ribs to make sure it gets done just right for delicious eating. Milo did his job well. The Lions and their guests consumed 130 pounds of barbecued ribs during the evening. Star photos ETAOIN SHRDLU By WESLEY R. RAMSEY It's funny how dogs and people are alike in so many ways. For instance, we have two poodles, at our house. There's Pierre, who is big enough to take care of himself and then there's Sidney, who would fit nicely inside Pierre's mouth if Pierre was to take a notion to put him there. Pierre and Sidney get along well together as long as things are going normal. Pierre will protect Sidney with a low, menacing growl if he thinks someone is trying to harm Sidney. They will roll and play and tumble. When Pierre gets into a chair or in his corner to sleep, Sidney will curl up in Pierre's front paws and sleep right there between his legs. They go outside together and usually stay pretty close wherever they are. .Hoboes Tested N Jail Facilities By CHARLIE WEBB When we finished our first pretty courthouse and jail, there was for a long time very little business in either one, especially the jail. Tle railroad ran through town and the freight trains would stop at a water tank to tak eon water for the train's steam engine. Some of the empty box cars would often contain young hoboes going South for the winter. Someone suggested this was a real op- portunity to exercise our own experiments in the wonderful and ageless aspects of law and order by pulling the young hoboes out of the box cars for a filler for the new jail. Even during this time the fast combat between punish- ment and freedom was close to the physical emotions of some people, so we began to say hello to the guilty and punishable hoboes at the water tank, put them in jail, then say good-bye 'to the cleansed and free hoboes be- ing shipped out in just 30 days at the same water tank and in the same kind of freight box cars. The population of the jail was constant and growing, Other Editors Say: Congress Has Missed the Red ,Ink Message Congress is wildly out of step with the people of the nation in the matter of big public spending with borrowed money. If any point emerged clearly around the country in many separate votes Nov. 4, it was the feeling almost everywhere that governments have piled up enough debt already. Bond issues and borrowing *--proposals were defeated in state after state. .Observers generally attributed the atti- tudes of the people to the spec- tacle of New York City about to collapse financially and damage its creditors and its citizens because of its fiscally irresponsible spending beyond its means for many years. Staggering debts have been piled up by the city, and now it can no longer borrow in nor- mal markets to continue living beyond its means. There is a national debate about whether the federal government can. or should, help it obtain new credit. With all these events on the front pages, voters in all parts of the nation turned the:nbs down on nearly all new local government spending schemes, not just those that would have been financed with borrowed money but also those which would have been paid for by new taxes. In short, voters appear to have decided it is time for the nation to clamp on the brakes against more borrowing and spending by governments. To most people, that ines- sage was made nearly two weeks ago in those widely separated votes by people against spending schemes. But did it get through to members of Congress? Well. on Wednesday. the House of Representatives authorized a level of federal spending for the current year that would drive the nation $73 billion or more deeper into debt. A move. sponsored by some Republicans, to reduce the overall spending ceiling by due to the equilibrium of the incoming guilty and the out- going of the cleansed. Most all things have perfect equili- brium on close observation, regardless of the topsy-turvey appearances. Some of us would gather around the jail in the evenings to hear the hoboes sing and play the harmonica. Some hoboes were good crayon artists, and we would put their beautiful sketches on the wall of our homes above the mantel clock. In return for the hoboes giving us 30 days of their valuable young lives in art and just $5 billion-just a few meager percentage points of the total-was voted down. The next major moves on spending will come in the Senate, where the starting point will be a proposed ceil- ing that would create an even larger deficit-more than $74 billion instead of $73 billion. President Ford is on record urging Congress to slow down national spending. But Wash- ington reports indicate neither the President nor the Con- gress is likely to do much except talk. The national debt now is $577 billion. Interest payments alone on that mountain of debts total $36 billion this year-the third largest cate- gory of federal spending-and will rise to $45 billion next year. Much of that money is owed to private individuals, and to privately owned institutions. They invested in federal securities on faith that the debts would be repaid. But sooner or later, the federal debt may grow so heavy that no prudent investor could have that confidence. When that day arrives and the federal government itself becomes a bad risk, the nation will face a crisis of a kind it might not survive. New York City overspent itself into just such shape. The people of the nation seem to have little trouble understand- ing that, nor is the parallel be- tween the city's mismanage- songs, we would give the hoboes syrup buckets of cook- ed fresh vegetables and fried chicken. The hoboes were happy, and we were happy too. It seems that generous giving often brings a happy thought of forgiveness, re- gardless of the guilt and inno- cence complex. What fate was ahead for the once pursued and ignoble hoboes? Have they today, through some quirk of the imagination and emotion become the noble pursuer of the ignoble guilty in the won- derful and ageless reality of guilt and innocence? White City will Hear Rev. James The White City Baptist Church will welcome Rev. Gerald James as guest speak- er on Sunday, Nov. 23. Rev. James is being considered for pastor of the church and will fill the pulpit for both morning and evening services. Plans for the day include food and fellowship at lunch- time. Everyone is invited to come and share basket lunch together. Rev. James is presently pastor at Mount Pleasant Bap- tist Church in Milton. He is a native of Gulfport, Miss., hav- ing graduated from William Carey College. Hattiesburg, Miss. He received his Mas- ter's degree in Theology at New Orleans Baptist Semi- nary. He and his wife Cecelia have one son, Mike, age 15. Everyone is invited to parti- cipate in the services of the day. Morning worship hour is at 11:00. and evening services begin at 7:00 p.m. meant and the federal govern- ment's fiscal foolishness too difficult for most persons to grasp. It seems, however, to elude the disorganized mob of poli- ticians in Congress and the White House. Perhaps the voters will step in and make wholesale changes in their leaders when the 1976 elec- tions arrive. -Tallahassee Democrat Things go along well: that is, until one gets something the other wants. One of the main bones of contention is a bone. A bone starts a fight among two fast and loyal friends which nothing else can. When there is only one bone between the two dogs, there is some teeth baring going on. It doesn't matter that Pierre is 10 times the size of Sidney, Sidney will bare his teeth, raise his hackles and let go with a threatening a growl as he can manage with his high tenor voice. Pierre lets him have it right back if Sidney, who is faster, happens to.get the bone and take off. Right now, there is a clean, well gnawed bone on the window sill where Pierre put it out of the reach of Sidney. I've noticed it there for several days. Pierre never goes to get it for a few minutes of delicious gnawing. He doesn't want it. He just has it there where Sidney can't get at it. Still, they play, sleep and eat together. Doesn't that sound just like a human being? 7- Even with the cold weathersltiverfng'down on us over the week end, many people turned out to enjoy the FSU Flying High Circus. The weather was so cold that even the fire built behind the concessions stand was looking for a coat, but the youngsters from Florida State went through their act and those present were appreciative. I saw some Florida State alumni, who shall remain nameless in deferrence to their team's record, at the Circus when they had been called to Tallahassee Saturday night for Homecoming. One FSU alumnus said, "I'd rather watch this circus here than drive to Tallahassee to see the one there". One guess as to who said it. I learned Saturday night that Port St. Joe's band made a "Superior" rating in their contest Saturday afternoon in Panama City. That's the first time a Port St. Joe band has made above zero in quite some time. I've been telling you here how good they are this year, and now those who judge such things for a living have said so. Come out and see them Friday night at the football game. Kenneth Creech came by the office last Thursday, after Veterans Day, and brought two newspapers which were announcing some of the reasons for the celebration of Veterans' Day. Kenneth had an old Dothan Eagle, printed in 1918, which was headlined, "PEACE, War Ends In Europe". The paper gave the full details of the signing of the Armistice and of the abdication by the Kaiser. Another paper, printed in Texas in 1928 was announcing the death of former President Woodrow Wilson. The story went on to detail how Wilson didn't die before he saw the establishment of his dream, The League of Nations, which was founded to ward off any World Wars in the future. We know Wilson's League of Nations didn't deter World War II, and by reading the papers in recent days, it looks as if the United Nations is not going to have much better luck with World War III. With the small left-leaning nations joining in a block to pass an necessary resolution opposing Zionism, the UN met on shaky ground last week. The United States even threatened withdrawal of its financial support of the organization if the resolution wasn't quashed. This, alone, is a precedent since the United States has been calmly shelling out the money to keep the circus on the Hudson operating while it seems as if the main order of business is to villify" our nation through the guise of championing peace. We have been paying the bill for these same nations to propagandize to the world about what ogres we are. You could tell it was getting close to a presidential election year. Senators Henry Jackson, Clifford Case and even Edward Kennedy stood up for the United States by saying the resolution was "irresponsible". Maybe some good will come out of that resolution after all. ___ .-PAGE TWO THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY, NOV. 20, 1975 ;~~$--I THE STAR. Port St. Joe. Fla.

Observe Classrooms Four teachers from Lucille Moore Elementary School in Panama City spent the day at Port St. Joe Elementary School on Tuesday, November 11, observing in classrooms using the Individually Paced Instruction (IPI) Reading Program. Milton Acton, principal of Lucille Moore and chairman of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Visiting Committee which recently ac- credited the local school, was impressed 'with IPI and re- quested permission for his teachers to observe it in oper- ation. The Bay County teach- ers are considering adoption of the reading system in their classrooms. Local teachers whose class- rooms were observed were: Barbara Whitfield, second grade; Sylvia Costin and Avaryee Martin, third grade; Ruth Phillips, fourth grade; Virginia Blick, fifth grade; Martha Sanborn, sixth grade; and Lula Wilson and Madeline Wynn, Reading Lab. In addition to those classes listed above, IPI reading is also used in the Port St. Joe Elemental y School kindergar- ten. These beginning students undergo a thorough and ex- tensive readiness program which leads to the mastery of the 46 skills necessary to begin formal reading. The acquisi- tion of these skills before en- tering formal reading is of prime importance since stu- dies have shown that placing -pressure on children to read too early can result in learning disabilities and poor attitudes later on in school. IPI is a continuous progress program which stresses giv- ing the student a mastery of basic skills and allowing him to work at his own level of competency. All learning styles are provided for through the use of a variety of teaching materials. Interested parents are invited to contact the school for more informa- tion on this program.

On November 7th, when Sheila was again operated on, there was no trace, not even a scar, of any tumor. They praise God for this miracle, and for the Christians that prayed. Thank you. For Ambulance.

The story is told of the man walking through a Scottish moor, examin- ing flowers and blades of grass through lis pocket lens. A shepherd, moved by curiosity, drew near and watched with .inter- est. "Wouid you like to view this moss cup through my lens?" the man inquired of the shepherd. He eager- ly assented. He looked, his eyes filled with as- lonishment, and asked: "Can this be a ,moss cup?" Assured that it was, he looked again at .. the tiny flower through Sthe lens. "Sir, I wish you had never shown this to me." "Why?" the man asked in surprise. "Because." was the reply, "I tread on thousands of them every day of my life." Like the shepherd-so many people fail to see the beauty of life that sur- rounds us all.

RENFRO AU-T-O-PARTS 401 Williams Ave. 229-6013 Win Puts Team In Play-offs Port St. Joe's Sharks did their thing Friday night and rode to the District Champion- ship by a 26-14 win over the Blountstown Tigers. The Sharks came from be- hind twice in the game on big defensive plays by Steve Cloud, Ray Lawrence, Marcus Manning, Calvin Watson and Ronald Daniels and the hard running of Robert Farmer to trip the Tigers in an almost perfect game for the Sharks. The Sharks didn't lose the first fumble, had one pass inter- cepted and only 15 yards in penalties in what was prob- ably their best game of the season. The Tigers took the kick-off and in two and a half minutes they had put six points on the board on a 22 yard run by their premiere runner, J. D. Baker. The Sharks then took the ball and used up six and a half minutes of the clock marching 80 yards to score on an 18 yard pass from John Owens to Sandy Sanborn in the end zone to knot the score. Bill Norton's kick was good but was nulli- fied by an off-side penalty. The second attempt at the point after failed. The Sharks had another chance to score in the first half when Steve Cloud recovered a Tiger fumble on the Tiger 14. A Steve Owens pass to Sandy Sanborn was picked off in the end zone by Curt Garrett. The Tigers threatened as the half was winding down and drove to the Shark four yard line where Ray Lawrence and Marcus Manning stopped Bak- er on the four yard line to end the threat. The Sharks took the kick-off. in the second half on their own 33 yard line. On the first-play from scrimmage, Robert Far- mer picked his way through both lines and rambled. 67 yards to put the Sharks ahead, with Norton's kick, 13-6. The Tigers roared right back and drove 72 yards to score on a 35 yard run by Hubby Chason, who faked a pass and skirted right end for his touchdown. The Tigers attempted a kick, but the ball was blocked and bounded into the air. Baker caught the ball as it fell and ran to the left corner of the end zone for two points, which again put the Tigers in the lead, 14-13. Then Mr. Farmer went to work again and once again worked his way through the middle for a 63 yard scoring run. The Sharks tried for two points and failed, leaving the score at 19-14 with 6:42 left in the third period. The Sharks were back in business with four minutes left in the game when Kelly Faulk was jarred loose from a Shark punt by Calvin Watson. Wat- The Russian National Basketball '- ' team, currently touring the U. S. has, at last look a 2-4 record, Losing to Marquette, Indiana, North Caro- T'1 lina, and Maryland. Winning from I St. .Louis and Dayton. This is the same team that won the 1972 Olym- pics and most all of the other inter- f I national meets since then. Coach 7 Sean Smith, of No. Car., comment- ed, that maybe we should send the NCAA winner, rather than pick I individual outstanding players. I agree, but would suggest the winner of the NBA instead. The Olympic committee, in its definition of profession- alism, apparently is willing to accept each countries' definition. I.E., there are no professional athletes in Russia, East Germany, etc. The fact that they are paid and subsidized by their government apparently doesn't count. We, on the other hand, maintain a tight rein on our amateurs. If the Russian and East German international athletes are soldiers, teachers, etc. who just happen to practice and their their specialty, then Joe Namath is just a "panty-hose" salesman who happens to play football. The Russians are pros in every since of the word.

Holiday Money Can Cut Pay i Earnings from holiday jobs can affect the monthly pay- ments of students, house- wives, and other people get- ting social security benefits, according to David Robinson, Social Security Representa- tive for Gulf County. The amount people earn from holiday jobs will cause a reduction in their social security checks if their total' earnings for 1975 are over $2,520. "For every $2 you earn over $2,520, $1 in social security benefits is withheld," Robin- son said. "But no matter how much you earn for the year, you can get your full social security payment for any month in which you neither earn over $210 nor do substan- tial work in your own busi- ness." "Refunding overpayments to social security could cAuse hardship," he said. Phone 229-6803 Curtis O'Brian, 66, I)ied Sunday In Hospital Funeral services for Curtis T.

Abundant Natural Resources By Audrey Barr Dept. of Natural Resources Dead Lakes State Recrea- tion Area, at the doorsteps of Wewahitchka in the famed fishing and tupelo honey region of north Florida, has an abundance of natural re- sources. Each season offers its bounty to the outdoorsman. In the fall and winter, three game preserves in the area open for the hunting season. Although hunting is not per- mitted in the park, hunters can camp within the recrea- tion area and bag their limits in nearby preserves. Deer are plentiful, as are wild turkeys and doves. In spring, fishing for the big bass draws. sportsmen near and far. Old logs and stumps, the aftermath of flooding caused by building a weir in 1962, make natural habitats for the fish. Shellcrackers attract those who like panfish. In April and May the fish beds in the lake bottom sometimes cover three acres. The fish grow to two pounds, thriving on tiny tree snails, which they crack with their teeth. Hence their name. When mayflies spread their wings in the swampy Dead Lakes-Flats, wily fishermen use replicas to lure bluegills, another delectable panfish. The flies breed in May and June, sometimes July.. Wild fruits are a bonus fac- tor, being plentiful almost all year. In the fall, juicy grapes burst forth from vines. Lus- cious blueberries appear in spring and early summer, followed by tempting black- berries. Many a campfire repast of fish and game is en- livened by the tart taste of fruit pies or jellies picked from the land. Living off the bounty of nature has paid off for the people of Wewahitchka. The "Land of Watery Eyes," as named by Indians, is one of the largest producers of tupelo honey, a pure form which doesn't granulate and is high- ly desired for medicines. Many natives are wealthy. Among the 4,000 inhabitants are 10 millionaires. Perhaps because they live the good life, the citizens have no caste distinctions like so many small towns.

The Board having adver- tised to receive bids for work- men's compensation insur- ance for county employees, received the following bids: Gaskin-Graddy Insurance Agency and American Mutual Insurance Company. The Attorney advised that each bid being offered was under the assigned risk plan and did not state a firm pre- mium. Frank Hannon reminded the Commission that he has here- tofore made the same offer to place the coverage under the assigned risk plan; that he did not enter a written bid be- cause he understood that the invitation for bids was for a firm price. He requested the Commission to consider his dral bid to place the coverage under the assigned risk plan. After consideration, there was a motion by Comm. Player seconded by Comm. Whitfield to continue the coverage with Hannon Insurance Agency under the assigned risk plan. The Clerk presented the annual financial reports on the following offices: Clerk Cir- cuit Court, Sheriff, Tax Col- lector. The Division of Family Ser- vices filed a Certification of Residency as to Perry Elliott. James McGee reported that a county road department vehicle ran into his auto- mobile causing damage. He presented two estimates for repairs of his vehicle. The Clerk was instructed to for- ward these estimates to the insurance agent.

He said Commis- sioner Davis and Road Super- intendent Whitfield answered the distress call from the citi- zens living at Indian Pass. He then asked when the road that was cut to allow the relief of the backed up water would be repaired. He said large trucks will get stuck in this washout. The Road Superintendent was instructed to take care of this repair as soon as possible. B. M. Janowski told the Board that the Port St. Joe Ambulance Squad did a pro- fessional job in picking up at his home on SR 30 and deliver- ing him to the hospital. He highly commended the ambu- lance squad for its work. Mr. Dick Lamberson, St. Joe Ambulance Squad Chief, told the Board that he has made arrangements to use the services of the military assis- tance safety and traffic squad at Fort Rucker, Alabama, as to its medical evacuation mis- sion. He said that one heli- copter with its medical eva- cuation crew have flown in to Port St. Joe for an orientation meeting; that the helicopter first landed across Fifth St. at the A&P Store and later landed at the Municipal Hos- pital doors in a trial run. He explained how this' valuable service will be used at no cost to Gulf County. Mr. Lamberson then in- formed the Board that he has filed an application for match- ing funds for a new ambu- lance, educational 'and train- ing equipment as directed by the Board. The Board author- ized the advertisement to re- ceive bids for an ambulance and equipment after the appli- cation is approved. The Board then discussed the proposed ambulance and generator building. There was a motion by Comm. Owens, seconded by Comm. Player, and carried, that the architect present his plans for this 'building at the next meeting. The Wewa Ambulance re- quested a telephone for its headquarters located at the City Hall. The Board directed the Clerk to have a semi-pub- lic telephone installed. The Board discussed a re- quest from Mrs. Betty Martin for the county to adopt an ordi- nance with reference to "hog pens". The Board said it un- derstood this problem; how- ever, it could not adopt such an ordinance without includ- ing all animals and including all areas outside of munici- palities.
