First Break In Vandalism Case


The Gulf County Sheriff's Depart-
ment received its first real break in
the case of vandalism destruction at
Port St. Joe High School Thanksgiving
day.
A considerable amount of property
stolen from the school in the break-in
was recovered last Thursday. by the
Gulf County Sheriff's Department.
Rex Strickland, 14-year-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. Daryl Strickland found


the stolen articles while hunting in an
area south of Holly Hill Cemetery.
Rex went home after finding the items
and reported to his mother who called
the authorities.
Sheriff Raymond Lawrence noted
that it appeared as if the items had
been dumped, or thrown from a
vehicle. The recovered property in-
cluded the laboratory- balance, film
strip projectors, numerous tools and
school supplies. They are all being


processed for fingerprints and other
physical evidence.
The Sheriff commended young
Strickland for his help in locating the
property and promptly reporting it to
the Sheriff's Department.
Vandals broke into the local high
school during the week end of the
Thanksgiving holidays and caused
considerable damage to the building,
equipment and supplies, as well as


removed several items, including the
recovered cache, from the building.
Sheriff's Department and Port St. Joe
City Police officers have been inves-
tigating the case searching for proof
to tie in suspects ever since the-::
incident occurred.

A $600.00 reward for information
leading to apprehension and convic-;
tion of the guilty parties has been put-'
. up by a group of local citizens. :


Funds Will Finance Water Improvements


FHA Loan Approved


The City of Port St. Joe had
a Farmer's Home Adminis-
tration loan approved on Wed-
nesday of last week for $1.4
million. The notification was.
sent to the City Wednesday'
afternoon of last week by the
office of Congressman Bob
Sikes.
the loan was applied for
early last year to finance
extensive work and improve-
ments in the city's water
department.
Work to be accomplished
includes considerable rehabil-
itation of the water treatment
plant. The plant capacity will
also be doubled under the

plan. A new 500,000 gallon
water storage tank will be
erected in the vicinity of the
Port St. Joe High School and
the oldest tank at Long and
Tenth will be taken down. The
old tank is in bad shape from
age and needs replacing. The


city will also drill three water
wells to increase the water
supply. The city's supply from
the St. Joe Paper Company'
canal is limited and summer
usage now goes over the
limits. The water supply from
the canal is limited by the


size of the siphon pipe under
the Intracoastal Canal at
White City and increased
needs of the Paper Company
and the city has taxed this
source of supply.
The funds will also finance
installation of a 10-inch main


to the new storage tank near
the High School.
Smith and Gillespie Engin-
eers, of Jacksonville are' al-
ready at work designing the
projects and work will prob-
ably get underway the latter
part of the year.


Four Juveniles Arrested for School Bomb Threat


Port St. Joe High School had
its first bomb threat in its
history last week, when three
threats were phoned in during
the day Wednesday.
Four threats were phoned in
to the Gulf County Sheriff's


office, starting around 8:30
A.M.

The Sheriff's office manag-
ed to get a trace on the calls
and arrested four juveniles in
connection with the felony,


turning them over to the
Division of Youth Services.
Two of the juveniles were still
in custody at the Youth Deten-
tion Center in Panama City at
press time yesterday, await-
ing a hearing. The other two


have been released.' ,
According to information
from the Gulf County Sheriff's
office, the State's Attorney
will prefer charges for -the
action, which is both a .state
and federal felony.


The City Commission
agreed Tuesday night to re-
quest the County Commission.
to levy a county-wide tax to
help support the Municipal
Hospital during times of fi-
nancial crisis for the hospital.
.The Commissioners will ask
the County to approve a levy
of up to one-half mill per year,
ear-marked for the hospital.
While the hospital pays its
way most years, there are
times when it runs in the red
and puts a strain on the city's
treasury to pay the bills. It is
the opinion of the .Commission
that the tax should be levied
county-wide since the facili-
ties are used by people.from
all over the county. A census
count shows that about 30


In a time of uncertainty
throughout the nation, the
financial institutions of Port
St. Joe reported a good year
last year, with their financial
base growing.
During a time when housing
starts are depressed through-
out the nation, Citizens' Fed-
eral reported they let out
$850,000 for new housing starts
in their operational area. "It
was a good year for loans",
manager Charles Stevens
said.
Citizens' Federal also re-
ported increases in money
placed with them on savings.
The institution reported a gain
of $756,000 in new savings. The
firm paid out $423,166 in
interest on savings during the
year and increased their re-
serves and surplus by $82,576.


percent of the patients in the
hospital live outside the city
limits of Port St. Joe.
A half-mill levy would pro-
vide about $50,000 for the
hospital and would be levied
only when needed.
UNION VOTE
The City faces the prospect
of having its, staff of employ-
ees go union on February 4,
according to announcement
from the Public Employees
Relations Act (PERC) receiv-
ed last week. Employees of
the city will vote on Wednes-
day, February 4 on whether or
not to accept the services of a
union as their bargaining
agent.
Involved in the election will
be all city employees with the'


The Florida First National
Bank also reported a good
financial year, with president
Ted Cannon saying, "We had a
24 percent increase in deposits
for the year".
Cannon reported their indi-
vidual checking and saving
accotfnts had increased by 6.18
percent, reflecting a healthy
growth.
"Loans were down a frac-
tion", Cannon said, "But our
total assets were up $3 million
over the previous year, re-
flecting a healthy growth for
us".
Looking at the reports of the
two financial institutions, it
looks as if the people of the
Port St. Jpe area are saving
their money while others are
investing theirs in homes.

Pretty, Red-Headed Woman Will




Head Chamber of Commerce


Port St. Joe's Chamber of
Commerce set two records 'at
their installation banquet
Monday night at the Centen-
nial Building. For the first
time in history, the Chamber
installed a red-head as presi-
dent and for the first time in
history the Chamber installed
a woman as president.
Mrs. Wanda Brown, opera-
tor of a bookkeeping and tax
business here in Port St. Joe
was installed as president by
George Y. Core. Core also
installed David Roche as vice-
president; Higdon Swatts,
treasurer and John Miller,
Wendell Whitaker, Mrs. Jean
Atchison and Dickie Brown as
new directors.
In stepping down from the
presidency, L. L. Copenhaver
said the Chamber had exper-
ienced a good and a busy year.
"We had an increase in mem-
bership and a working group
of Directors", Copenhaver
told the 125 people who turned
out in the cold night for the
affair.
Copenhaver's report was
ultra condensed in 'deference
to the program which was
prepared for the night. He said
later that the Chamber had
several inquiries during the
year. "We were very active in
trying to attract new business
here and made several con-


tacts", the past president
said. Copenhaver was espe-
cially proud of the new cus-
tomer relations program set
up to try to solve grievances of
customers and local mer-
chants during the year. "We
feel this will serve to improve
the report between custom-
ers and merchants", Copen-
haver said.
The Chamber answered 446
inquiries during the year.
"That's nearly a record",
Copenhaver said. "We have
been very active in 1975 and
feel we accomplished a lot for
our city and county", he
concluded. .
Incoming president, Wanda
Brown congratulated Copen-
haver and vice-president, Bob
Moss for. their active year.
"We need more of this type
during the coming year", she
said, "in order to become even
more active and progressive".
SPEAKER
Guest speaker for the eve-
ning was A. P. Rollins, with
the Department of the Inter-
ior. Rollins told the audience
and showed slides of the
Alaska pipeline project.
"The $9 billion project is
being financed entirely by
private industry", Rollins
said. The project is being
financed and accomplished by


a group of American oil firms
to move the crude oil from
Prudhoe Bay on the Arctic
Ocean to Valdez, Alaska,
where it will be transported by
tanker to the American main-
land for distribution.
Rollins said there are 20,000
men involved in the project
which will start 1.2 million
barrels of crude per,day on its
way to the mainland by the
middle of 1977. He said the
pipeline itself was about half
completed, with pumping sta-
tions and support facilities to
be completed during the com-
ing year.
The pipeline construction
crews have built eight self-
supporting communities along
the line as operational bases.
The first phase of the line will
have eight pumping stations to
move the 1.2 million barrels a.
day and work will start im-
mediately on the installation
of four more pump stations to
increase the flow to 2 million
barrels a day.
Rollins said the Prudhoe
Bay will produce as much oil
as the states of Texas, Okla-
homa and Louisiana combin-
ed. It will replace one in eight
barrels of oil now being im-
ported.
It will require 430,000 horse-
power per day to operate the
line.

We 're Growing


The Department of Administra-
tion says Gulf County is growing at
a rate not seen here since the paper
company came to town with its
influx of people.
Normally, the census taken by
'the government at the beginning of
-every decade shows Gulf County has
grown by a few people. Rarely is the
:rate of growth more,than 10 percent
ifor the entire decade. The last
census indicated a growth of around
-90 people over a 10-year period.
: According to the Department of
'Administration, we have had a
:tremendous growth during the past
-'five years. Their figures show we
have increased our population by
-nine percent in the five years-a
irate more than twice our best


performance in the past.
The department's figures show
we now have a population of 10,920.
In 1970, the U.S.. census showed a
population of 10,096 for Gulf.
If these figures are true, and we
have no indication that they aren't,
then Gulf seems to be finally on the
way to a slow steady growth.
This growth 'indication should
pacify the County Commission who
thought all those zoning and plan-
ning documents they were required
to come up with was time wasted. It
seems as if we will be needing these
plans in the very near future.
As our population grows, so will
our problems. With planning, the
problems can be reduced.

Beauty: Deep


and Pure Desire



By CHARLIE WEBB


The hay rides of the Yellow
River Valley of long ago were
enjoyed by most all young
people. We had all kind of
rides, one-and-two-mile rides,
even an ox cart hay ride pulled
by a slow but sure-footed ox:
The one ride enjoyed the
most was the annual hayride
donated by the turpentine still
owners in a long, high-railed
wagon' pulled by four fat
mules. The polished brass
trim on the wide. leather mule
harni'ss. glistening in the
moonlight, added beauty and
glamor to the ride in the
excitement of our young
minds.
There was always an indivi-
dual on the ride who was full of
fun and mischief. When the
wagon was going down hill
through a kind of scary and
shaded spot under large trees
overhanging the wagon route.
the mischevious one would run
his hand under the hay and
pinch some beautiful young
lady.
The young lady pinched
would let out a scream that


Economy Should Expand


Florida's economy should
make great 'strides toward
recovering next year but it
would recover a lot more if
something could be done about
inflation and increased gov-
ernmental regulations, the


Florida Chamber of Com-
merce reported recently.
In releasing the Florida
Chamber's annual Economic
Profile of Florida Counties,
Ronald S. Spencer, Jr., exe-
cutive vice president of the


Florida Chamber, said infla-
tion and constantly expanding
governmental regulations are
causing the cost of doing busi-
ness to rise faster than some
companies are able to keep up
with it.


"Inflation is causing pro-
blems for the individual con-
sumer but it is a tremendous
problem for business as well.
The 30 percent increase in
postal rates will affect every
business in Florida and even-


would frighten the mules pull-
ing the wagon load of happy
young people sitting on top of
the soft and sweet-smelling
hay. They would break into a
fast trot down the road to the
chinquapin roast and picnic.

The beautiful young lady's
scream was loud but contain-
ed no retalliation. because-she
knew that she was beautiful
and that someone, sooner or
later, would pinch her.


tually all consumers will have
to pay through higher prices
which will be necessary to
compensate for the increased
mailing cost," Spencer noted.
Spencer said a recent sur-
vey of about 600 business peo-
ple around the state indicated
most feel the worst of our
economic times are behind us
but more than 50 percent said
inflation and governmental
encroachment are the biggest
obstacles to full economic re-
covery.
Spencer. in releasing the
Economic Profile publication,
said final statewide totals for
1975 are not in yet but figures
for 1974 provide a good back-
drop for this year's economic
recession.
For instance, the Economic
Profile reported single and
multi-family residential build-
ing permits in Florida totaled
114,823 in 1974, a 60 percent
drop from the 1973 figure of
289,480 and a good indication
of the reasons behind high un-


It seems that the desire to be
beautiful and the desire to
touch the beautiful is impor-
tant during youth. Also, to
always remain beautiful and
to touch the beautiful, not only
in the physical.but also in the
beauty of thoughts and actions
remains vital during the won-
derful sunset years of life.
Perhaps the desire to be
beautiful and to touch beauty
could be a deep and pure
desire.


employment in the construc-
tion field in 1975.
While the total annual pay-
roll increased from $19,353,957
in 1973 to $23,535,594 in the
state during 1974, the numbers
of employees dropped in con-
struction and manufacturing.
At the same time, the number
of employees in federal gov-
ernment employment more
than doubled, going from
73,672 two years ago to 463,-
192 in 1974.
Spencer said the bright star
in the state's economic sky is
the agricultural industry
which ranks 14th nationally in
cash receipts for farm com-
modities. Also, Florida topped
all other states in receipts
from the sale of oranges $433

Tuits that require at least a hundred acres to
store. Size not withstanding, a Tuit is a Tuit.
The size of a Tuit has no bearing on its
utility. It is the shape of certain Tuits that
determine their value.
There are square Tuits, rectangular Tuits,
pentagonal Tuits, and others too numerous to list
but it's the round Tuit which seems to be the
most helpful to mankind, even though it is
seldom sought with much enthusiasm.
Experts have shown statistically that if the
95 percent of the population who are not even
aware of the round Tuit were educated to its
existence and its possible application for the
betterment of society, it might well become one
Sof the most, ~ynvesilgy distributed and highly.
prized personal possessions.
It is this evidence which prompts us to
present the story of the Tuits.
some typical Tuits are shown in the
illustration at the head of this blurb. Ignore all
except the round one. Take a pair of scissors and
cut out the round Tuit along the dotted lines. Now
you have a round Tuit. How will it help you?
There are hundreds of things that you have
promised yourself that you would do when youth
got a round Tuit. Now that you have gotten a
round Tuit you can; repair that leak in the roof,
write that letter to your congressman, tell your
wife (or husband) that you love him or her, go to
church, pay your paper bill, and ... you name it.
Now that the round Tuit has become
available to the citizenry of Gulf County, it is
probable that we will shortly have the most
energetic and vibrantly alive community in ,the
world.

I ought to save this little item until the month
of March; but, if I know me, I would forget it.
I was reading the other day and picked up a
Readers Digest for the month of March, 1975
(that shows you how far I am behind with my
Readers Digest). An article on the index caught
my eye; "March: Who Needs It?" Turning to the
article, I saw one of my favorite months
described in all sorts of unkind ways. March
was accused of having a split personality just
because of its habits of alternately roaring and
baaing. That is the nature of the month, for
heaven's sake!
The author, Melvin Maddocks, said Febru-
ary can make a sunny day white and dazzling
and April promises green. But March? March is
mostly bare trees, cloudy skies and the ground
all mud-brown and tattletale gray.
March was described as one you wouldn't
hire for a job worth having if she were a person,
because she was so emotionally unstable.
The poor month was labeled as "the blank
space in nature... a time when the winds blow in
all directions and nothing seems to happen. It is
one of those slightly vexing transition periods
that everybody wishes would hurry up and
pass."
That's some pretty nasty things to say
about one of our months. They may not be much
sometimes, but they are all we have. We have to
make the best of them.
I particularly think we should keep our snide
remarks away from the month of March. If it
wasn't for March, I wouldn't be here. March is
OK as far as I'm concerned, since that's the
month in which I was born.

Judge Taunton


Wants Court Chi


County judge David Taun-
ton spoke to the Rotary Club
last Thursday, telling the club
members of some of the
changes made in the court
system during recent years.
Taunton said that prior to
1972, there were 14 various
court systems in Florida for
conducting trials. After court
revision, passed by the Legis-
lature, there are now only two
trial court systems in the
state-County and Circuit
courts.
Here in Port St. Joe, the city
still maintains a *city court,
but this will be phased out at
the end of the current year,
under mandate of, the new
state law.
At the beginning If last year,
there were changes in the laws
governing traffic violations.
"Many of the traffic violations
were de-criminalized", Taun-
ton said. "Many traffic viola-
tions are now punishable by

Chair Mother's March


The Mothers March against birth defects
takes place on January 29-30 to benefit
March of Dimes programs of research,
medical service, and professional and public
health education. All are directed at overcom-
ing the nation's most severe child health
problem.
Mrs. Helen Ramsey, chairman of the
drive, says the Mothers March this year will
stress the theme, "Happy Birth Day, Amer-
ica".
"We are opening 1976 with a declaration
of revolutionary war against infant disease
and infant mortality," she reports. "Physical
and mental birth defects strike more than


200,000 infants every year; low birthweight,
strongly associated with increased risk of
brain damage and death, affects another
200,000 babies. Our infant death rate is higher
than that of 17 other countries.
"Only through more research into the
causes of high-risk pregnancies and improv-.
ed prenatal care of mothers and infants can
these figures come down. With your help, the
March of Dimes can make progress in this
area."
If you are interested in participating in
the Mothers March, Mrs. Ramsey asks that
you call her home, 229-6962.

ATLANTA, GA.-A major
new economic survey, just
released by the Southern For-
est Institute, shows the pulp
and paper industry pumped
more than $3 billion into the
South's economy in 1974.
"The South's pulp and paper
industry's payroll alone total-
ed $1 billion, 474 million,"
according to SFI executive
Vice President Benton H. Box.
"Another $1.48 billion went for
the purchase of pulpwood in
the 13 Southern states". Box
added, "The significance of
the amount spent on pulpwood
is that most of the money went
to small wood dealers and to
private landowners who own
approximately 74 percent of
the forest lands in the South".
Payments for other goods and
services would raise the econ-
omic impact still higher.
The last "Economic Analy-
sis of the Pulp and Paper
Industry" was published by
SFI in 1972. In the interim, five
new mills were built in the
South, bringing the 1974 total
to 117 mills. Those mills, and
associated operations, employ
over 128,000 workers. The,
mills have a pulp and paper
manufacturing capacity of
more than 96,000 tons a day.
Dr. Box added, "Our two-
year survey also shows indus-
try's concern for the forest
resource. More than 2,000
foresters are on industry pay-
rolls to help manage some
32-million acres of industry
lands and work on smaller,
non-industry timberlands."
"In 1974, the number of
seedlings planted by industry
increased 138-million, or 47
percent". Box went on, "In-
dustry increased expenditures
for improving their forests.
They spent 57-million more
. dollars in 1974 than two years
prior.' That's a 99 percent
jump."
The forestry institute points
out that intensive forest man-
agement can help assure
enough wood fiber to meet
future consumfier demands.
With such management our
nation need not/worry about
running out of'wood because,
unlike coal, iron, aluminum,
and other materials, trees are
renewable.
"Our forests also provide
other benefits besides fiber for
products", Box said. "The
new survey shows over 24-mil-
lion acres of industry lands
open for public hunting, hik-
ing. fishing and other forms of
recreation. There are a total
of 247 areas designated as
recreation sites". Box added,
"Another three-and-a-half-
million acres of industry for-
est lands are being managed
in cooperation with various
state wildlife agencies as wild-
life management areas".
The veteran forester con-
cluded. "This survey and pre-


vious analyses show the econ-
omic impact the forest pro-
ducts industry has on the
South. As the jobs, payrolls,
and other benefits continue on
the upswing in the Southern
region, all forest land owners,
private, industrial and >gov-
ernmental, will benefit from
practicing intensive forest
management". 'Box conclud-
ed, "It's an industry that is

cording toW. B. Mackall, Di-

There are many occasions
when a veteran is called

vice in personnel files, and
the veteran must produce an
honorable discharge in order
to obtain admission to a Vet-

r MINUTES


of the


Gulf County Commission. j
L -dMI'w 01 ow agmp oww-amw 01m- mm -gow


The Board of County Com-
missioners of Gulf County met
on January 13, in regular ses-
sion with the following mem-
bers present: Eldridge
Money, Chairman; Everett
Owens, Jr.; Otis Davis, Jr.; T.
D. (Doc) Whitfield and S. C.
Player. Others present were:
George Y. Core, Clerk; Jerry
Gates, Financial Officer; C.
E. Daniell, Mosquito Control
Supervisor; Lloyd Whitfield,
Road Superintendent; Ric-
hard Lancaster, Civil Defense
Director; Albert Thames,
County Service Officer and
Raymond Lawrence, Sheriff.
The meeting came to order
at 9:00 a.m. The Clerk opened
the meeting with prayer fol-
lowed by the pledge to the
flag.
The minutes of December 9,
1975, were read, approved and
adopted.
Frank Graddy presented the
fleet policy for the Board of
County Commission covering
all county vehicles in the
amount of $11,300.00. Mr.
Graddy stated that the policy
covered 69 vehicles, less the
two fire trucks in Highland
View and White City. The
Board agreed to accept the
policy and requested the two
.fire trucks to be added. Fi-
nance Officer Jerry Gates
then reported that this policy
was double the amount paid
last year and was more than
budgeted. Mr. Graddy stated
that there had been an in-
crease due to the accidents the
road department were in-
volved in and the fact that all
companies had increased-
their premiums. In. addition,
Mr. Gates^presented a bill for
an additional $7,796.00 pre-
mium on the workmen's com-
pensation policy which
brought the total cost to
$41,433.00, $11,433.00 more
than was budgeted for work-
men's compensation. Comm.
Player moved the Board pay-
the additional premium as the
Board was required by law to
furnish workmen's compen-
sation. Comm. Whitfield
seconded the motion and it
passed unanimously.
Walter Wilder, County Re-
creation Director, presented a
report on the activities of that
program. The County Com-
mission thanked Mr. Wilder
and commended him on the
excellent job he is doing as
Director of the program.
E. F. Gunn, County Building
Inspector, appeared before
the board for a discussion of
his authority and duties and a
request for travel pay. After
discussion, Comm. Whitfield
moved the Board allow Mr.
Gunn travel pay in the amount
of 14 cents per mile, and that
Mr. Gunn use his own judg-
ment in inspecting according
to the ordinance adopted by
the Board. Comm. Player
seconded the motion and it
passed unanimously.
Mr. Gunn then told the
Board, as president of the St.
Joseph Bay Country Club, that
he felt there was a lack of
communication concerning
the Club's request for tax
relief. He stated that the club
was not asking to be exempted
from property taxes but only
that the land be put on an
acreage basis as has been
done under the Florida Sta-
tutes in other counties
throughout Florida. He said
this would not affect the taxa-
tion status of the buildings or
golf carts. He asked the Board
to reconsider this matter in
view of the misunderstanding
about what the Country Club
was actually asking for.
Mrs. Jean Arnold presented
a subdivision plat of Wetappo
Creek Estates for approval by
the Board. After discussion,
Comm. Whitfield moved the
Board tentatively accept the
plat. Comm. Player seconded
the motion and it passed un-
animously.
Mrs. Betty McNeill present-
ed a report covering the acti-
vities of the library commit-
tee.
Dave Maddox appeared be-
fore the Board to ask for
support in requesting the
Coast Guard to place passing
lights in the main commercial
Shipping channel in the bay to
improve boating safety.
Comm. Player moved the
Board write the Coast Guard
requesting these lights be in-
stalled. Comm. Whitfield


seconded the motion and it
passed unanimously.
Sheriff Raymond Lawrence


presented an application for
Law Enforcement Assistance
Administrative Funds to pur-
chase telecommunications
equipment, i.e. personal port-
able radios in the amount of
$4,448.00. He explained that
Gulf County would be required
to supply only $223.00 to obtain
this grant. After discussion,
Comm. Whitfield moved the
Board adopt Resolution 76-1,
and support the grant applica-
tion in the amount of $223.00.
Comm. Player seconded the
motion and it passed unani-
mously.
Copy of the resolution is on
file in the Clerk's office.
Calhoun County Commis-
sioner Gene Bailey and
George Atkins of Blountstowh
addressed the Board repre-
senting the people of Calhoun
County in opposition to a dam
on the Apalachicola River.
After discussion, the Chair-
man noted that this Board had
previously went on record as
being opposed to the dam. The
Commission stated that their
present position was still one
of opposition. In conjunction
with this matter the Board,
upon motion by Comm. Davis,
second by Comm. Whitfield,
and unanimous vote decided
to no longer pay dues in he
amount of $201.92 to the Tri-
Rivers Waterway Develop-
ment Association, an organi-
zation supporting the dam on
the Apalachicola River.
Board Attorney William J.
Rish asked Comm. Bailey's
help in obtaining support from
the Calhoun County Commis-
sion on the repaving of High-
way 71 from Marianna to Port
St. Joe. Mr. Bailey said he and
his Commission would support
any action taken to have this
road repaved.
Mr. Bailey said he would
also like to have the Gulf
County Commission support
efforts to, have the fifth and
sixth cent gasoline tax return-
ed to the counties. The Board
agreed to support these ef-
forts .
Ed Bandjough reported that
the City of Wewahitchka soon
will be forthcoming with a
.hold harmless clause protect-
ing the Board from any liabil- *
ity for work done on city
streets. He requested the
Board continue city projects
as soon as this letter is re-
ceived.
Leo Kennedy reported there
were several people in the
audience interested in the re-
ported consolidation of the
Veterans Service Office and
the Civil Defense Office.
Comm. Davis then moved that
the Board consolidate the two
offices and make it effective
within two weeks. Comm.
Owens seconded the motion.
After a long discussion on
both sides of the issue Comm.
Davis asked that the minutes
of Dec. 9, 1975, be corrected to
show that several people were
interested in the job, provided
the two offices were consoli-
dated, not one as might be
interpreted by the minutes.
Comm. Owens stated that he
is a veteran and has had com-
plaints about the service re-
ceived in the veterans office.
He said he had received no
complaints about the Civil De-
fense office. He said the Board
must look at both offices to-
ward providing better service
at a lower cost. He said
neither director or secretary
is overworked and one full-
time director and one full-time
secretary can do the job and
provide better service. Civil
Defense Director Richard
Lancaster said, "That for the
record if Civil Defense can't
stand on its own feet, then I
say close it down." Chairman
Money said he would like to
see the matter studied further
as he hadn't had time to in-
vestigate it fully. The Chair-
man then called for a vote on
the motion. The motion passed
as Commissioners Owens,
Davis and Whitfield voted
Aye. Commissioners Money
and Player voted Nay.
Comm. Player said that he
has studied the matter and the
most that could be saved is
$3,000.00. He said everyone is
doing a good job and he didn't
want to cut down on the ser-
vice. Civil Defense Director
Lancaster asked the Board to
direct him as to what to do.
Comm. Owens said that he
would like to offer the full time


job to Mr. Thames or Mr.
Lancaster according to senior-
ity. The Chairman requested


the Board take four weeks to
make the change, not two as
made in the motion. The
Board agreed that the present
operations should continue un-
til February 10.
Upon the request of Mos-
quito Control Supervisor Em-
mette Daniell, Comm. Davis
moved the Board advertise for
bids for repairs to the L578
LinkBelt dragline; bids to be
opened January 27. Comm.
Whitfield seconded the motion
and it passed unanimously.
Mr. Daniell reported that he
also received notification of
cancellation of the insurance
on the Mosquito Control Build-
ing. Insurance agent Mark
Tomblinson said that the in-
surance would be placed with
another company.
Mr. Daniell reported that he
had passed the state examina-
tion for Mosquito Control
Directors as required by the
new state law.
Upon motion by Comm.
Davis, second by Comm. Whit-
field and unanimous vote, the
Board voted to accept a ditch,
cleaning easement from Jim-
mie L. Sellers, Thomas G.
Sellers, Dora B. Sellers and
Fannie E. Sellers in Sec. 23,
T4S, R10W, as recorded on
Official Records Book 64, page
152.
Sheriff Raymond Lawrence
asked the Board the status of
his request for an office in the
old county courthouse in
Wewahitchka. Comm. Davis
reported the only available
space would be the food stamp
office which is now used only
once or twice a week. The
Sheriff said he was not sure it
would work as he would like to
have a permanent base but he
would try the arrangement.
Comm. Davis reported that
Leroy Stevens wants to pur-
chase the junk iron at the John
Land pit. The Board agreed to
sell it after the Road Superin-
tendent salvages all useable
material.
Attorney William J. Rish
presented a check for $4,538.00
for state aid grant for public
library.
Comm. Davis reported that
Fred Greer would like the
Board to cover a ditch running
by his home. The Board
agreed to cover the ditch pro-
vided Mr. Greer purchases the
pipe.
Comm. Davis reported that
the Herbert Whitfield ditch
needs maintenance.
Comm. Player reported that
the Board needs to discuss its
paid holiday policy as the
Road Department is now
working 10 hour days and the
holiday pay was set up on an
eight-hour day. Comm. Davis
added that the Board needed a
work session to revise the em-
ployee handbook. The Chair-
man set January 19, at 5:00
p.m. as the date for the work
session.
The Board received notifica-
tion that the Department of
'Administration had received
the Board's community block
grant application.
Emmette Daniell, Mosquito
Control Supervisor, was in-
structed by the Board to con-


tinue running the dragline five
days a week in a manner that
would best suit the overall
program. The Board also in-
formed Mr. Daniell that they
would stand by him in any
dispute with an employee as
he was the Supervisor and had
the power to replace any em-
ployee who was not satisfac-
tory.
The Board agreed to advertise
for a public hearing on Feb-
ruary 10, to consider the ad-
visability of closing, vacating,
and abandoning any interest
the County might have in and
to a road immediately west of
the Post Office of Overstreet,
in the vicinity of Highway 386.
Legal description of the road
is on file in the Clerk's office.

agency representative on the
District Advisory Board to the
State Manpower Council.

Supervisor of Elections, 'noti-
fied the Board that she had

223-225 Monument Ave.


THURSDAY, JAN. 22, 1976


He said that the financial
position of. the county has
declined since January, 1975.
This weakened position is pri-
marily caused by the general
fund obligations being $185,-
460.61 more than the receipts
in that fund. The road and
bridge fund used $54,864.34,
from its reserve for contin-
gencies, which would have
been carried forward had
these funds not been needed.
He reminded the Commission-
ers that the State Department
of Revenue has announced
that state revenue sharing
funds will be less in 1976 than
that received in 1975. All
operating budgets for the year
1975-76 were reduced by 10
percent to compensate for
these losses.
The county's remaining long
term obligations are the court-
house bonds and interest in the
amount of $2,143,113.50. Also
there is $42,275.00 remaining
to be paid for the Highland
View and White City Fire
Department buildings.
Upon motion by Comm.
Player, second by Comm.
Whitfield, and unanimous
vote, the Board adopted an
electrical ordinance, which is
on file in the Clerk's office in
the Ordinance Book, an offi-
cial record.
The Board approved pay-
ment to J & S Communica-
tions for work completed on
Comm. Davis' radio.
The Board approved an in-
crease from'.$50.00 to $75.00 in
the cost of publishing the
minutes.
Upon motion by Comm.
Owens, second by Comm.
Whitfield, and unanimous
vote, the Board'authorized the
down payment on the backhoe
in the amount of $26,152.00, to
be paid from Federal Revenue
Sharing, upon delivery from
Burford Equipment.

,Alcohol Questions


Dear Mr. Norwood,
You have written a lot about
drinking problems. I know a
lot of people who drink and
don't have problems.
Where does social drinking
end and problem drinking
begin
Sincerely,
Social Drinker
J. N.
Dear J. N.
I agree with your statement
that a lot of people do drink
and don't have any problem
with alcohol. What does hap-
pen though, is that if we look
At the picture in that way, we
blind ourselves to the fact that
there are an awful lot of
people who do have problems
with alcohol.
There is no simple answer to
the question of where social
drinking ends and problem
drinking begins, but here is a
,pretty good definition that you
mav hoave heard hfnre:


"If you need
social, that's no
ing."


a drink to be
ot social drink-

Sincerely,
Dex


Dear Mr. Norwood,
After New Year's Eve, I had
a hangover. I put my pillow
over my head and had my feet
on top of a blanket so they
would be higher than my head.
It seemed to work and my
hangover went away.
A friend told me that it
really doesn't work and that
he had a better cure. Is it true
that one cure is better than
another?
Sincerely,
Hungover,
T.I.
Dear T.I.,
It is true that no one cure is
better than another. There are
almost as many hangover
"cures" as there are hang-

overs. But nothing cures a
hangover except time. You
can do all the other things that
you want to make yourself
comfortable, but only "time"
will get rid of the hangover.
There is one way to avoid
getting a hangover, though.
Preventive medicine: if you
don't drink too much, you
won't get a hangover.
Sincerely,
Dex
Dear Mr. Norwood,
My boyfriend drinks a lot.
Everytime I try to talk to him
about his drinking, he just
says, "All the guys drink so
why not me?"
It seems like an endless bat-
tle with all his friends doing
the same thing. It'seems like I
am fighting not only him but
all of his friends as well, when
I ask him about his drinking.
Frustrated,
B. K.


Dear B. K.
I understand your problem.
Men and'adolescent boys in
America often have the head
that it's very manly and cool
to drink a lot. Somehow the
idea that "the more you can
drink, the more of a man you
are" became part of our folk-
lore. It's nonsense, yet this
feeling has caused a lot of
foolish behavior, a lot of drink-
ing problems, and a lot of
deaths on our highways.
It is no more masculine to
drink a lot than it is to eat a
lot, smoke a lot, or take an
overdose of any other drug..
Besides, a real man doesn't
have to keep trying to prove
his masculinity.
Sincerely,
Dex

McKiernan, Jr. entered the
Marine Corps last August on
the buddy system and arrived
on Parris Island for training.
Both are four-year enlistees
and William is guaranteed as-
signment to the mechanical-
electrical field; Robert will be
assigned to aviation techno-
logy and hopes for electrical
work.
Pride was the motivation for
both McKiernans to join the
Corps. Robert says, "Boot
camp has built up a lot of pride
in me," and William added,
"That's what I joined for-
the pride Marines have."
Eighteen-year-old William
is a 1975 graduate of Port St.
Joe High School. Robert grad-
uated from there in 1972 and
went on to attend Gulf Coast
Community College in Pan-
ama City, before working as a
construction electrician.
Earlier in training the Mc-
Kiernans fired marksmen's
scores on the rifle range with
the M-16 service rifle.
They are the sons of Mr. and
Mrs. Robert L. McKiernan of
Port St. Joe.
