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

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-

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

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.

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. -

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.

cil.

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.

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

can't afford it. Even if we had the
natural resources, we just couldn't
raise the money to finance another

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.

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?

ment's fiscal foolishness too
difficult for most persons to
grasp.
It seems, however, to elude
the disorganized mob of poli-

wholesale changes in their
leaders when the 1976 elec-

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.

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.

Sheila Lemiux
Express
Thanks
The family of Marvin Lem-
iux would like to express their
deepest appreciation to all the
churches of Gulf County and
other areas for praying for
their daughter, Sheila, during


her serious illness.
On October the 10th, :they
were told of Sheila's condition,
and later it was diagnosed as a
malignant tumor. The doctor
advised surgery as soon as
possible. Becoming very; dis-
turbed by this report, -they
began to call on Christiahs to
pray. Prayer was made" and
the hand of God moved. 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.

By Joe St.Clair
Beauty is where you
are. 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.

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.

H. A. "Major" Norris, age
71, a resident of 104 Hunter
Street, Oak Grove, died sud-
denly at his residence Thurs-
day night. He was a long-time
resident of Oak Grove and a
former engineer of Apalachi-
cola Northern Railroad Co. for
many years. Prior to his death
.he was the custodian of Holly
Hill Cemetery.
Survivors include his wife,
Mrs. Stella Norris of Oak
Grove; two sons, Rev. Allen
Norris of Biloxi, Miss. and
James Norris of Thomasville,
Ga.; three daughters, Mrs.
Dorothy Mealer of Apalachi-
cola, Mrs. Helen Broome of

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.

City and Elaine Lowery of Port St. Joe.


Miller Is Available


Gulf Coast Community Col-
lege Minority Liaison Officer,
Leon Miller will be available
for counseling throughout the
College district, it was an-
nounced recently.
Miller said that his visits
stem for a revitalization of
Gulf Coast's long-standing
philosophy of making infor-
mation about the College's
educational opportunities


readily available t everyone.
"My task is really an enjoy-
able one," Miller said. "I have
spoken with dozens of citizens
from Port St. Joe, Apalachi-
cola and Wewahitchka as well.
as Panama City and have
found a lot-of interest in the
wide range of training a com-
munity college can provide."
Miller said that he has sent


informational material to
community leaders, churches,
and public buildings to supple-
ment his personal visits.
"My main objective is to
assist minority students but,
of course, the information I
have available is needed by
every person about to invest
time and money in a college
career," Miller said.

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-

vices filed a Certification of

ward these estimates to the

amendments and transfer of
funds within his budget, for

Superintendent for the emer-
gency road work performed in
the Indian Pass area during
the storm. 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 proposed ambulance and
generator building. There was
a motion by Comm. Owens,

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.
The Chairman made the fol-
lowing appointments:
Commissioner in charge of:
Ambulance, Welfare & Health
Department, Otis Davis, Jr.;

CONSTANT

ADVERTISING



One step won't take you very far,

You've got to keep on walking...

One word won't tell 'em who you are

You've got to keep on talking.

An inch won't make you very tall,

You've got to keep on growing.

One little ad won't do it all,

You've got to keep them going.

A constant drop of water
Wears away the hardest stone;


By constant gnawin', Towser

Masticates the toughest bone.

The constant, cooing lover

Carries off the blushing maid.


And the constant advertiser

is the one who gets the trade!


HARD TO BELIEVE?

MAKE US PROVE IT!
