Additional Street Paving Promised


Charles Dunn, a representa-
tive of the Department of
Transportation told the Guilf
""County Commission Tuesday
morning that it's time to again
assess their secondary road
program for the future and
told them he would meet with
them at the area hearing in
Apalachicola on March 17 to
confer with them on their
future plans.
The County has a five year
paving program laid out, but
changes are made periodic-
ally according to need.
Dunn pointed out to the
Commission that work is cur-
rently underway on several
projects which are nearing

ed.
Dunn said the DOT is get-
ting ready to let contracts on
several other streets through-
out the county.
First on the list for next
August letting is Niles Road,
in the Port St. Joe area, fiom
Highway 98 to Garrison Ave-
nue.
In the St. Joe Beach area,
four streets will be paved.
They include: Santa Anna St.,

duled for widening and re-
surfacing.
Port St. Joe is not due any
more secondary paving until

City Employees


Endorse Local 1306


City employees voted 40-34
last Wednesday to be affiliat-
ed with Local 1306 Laborers
Local, under the new Florida
Public Employees Relations
Commission law..
Affected by the vote are,
employees of the City in every
phase of service with the
exception of the Municipal
Hospital and the Police De-
partment.
Balloting was conducted at
the Fire Station Wednesday
morning from 7:30 to 8:30 and
from 2:45 to 4:30 P.M.
Virtually every employee
affected by the outcome of the
election cast his ballot during
the day. There were 78 em-
ployees eligible to vote and 74
cast ballots.


The measure was approved
by a narrow margin, since a
tie vote- would have turned
down the union proposal.
The City Commission had
until Wednesday of this week
to contest the election but the
Commission decided not to do
so.
The next step in the union
organization process, which
has now been going on for the
better part of a year,. is to
negotiate a contract between
the representing union and the
City. The negotiations will be
conducted by the PERC rep-
resentative for this area.
There is no indication as yet as
to when the negotiations will
begin.

Planning

Revival

The Pentecostal Holiness
Church, Garrison Avenue, will
begin revival services, 'Sun-
day, February 15. The, ser-
vices will be each evening at
7:00 p.m., and will continue
through February 22.' The
guest speaker will be Rev.
Walter- E. Poole, Jr. of
Toccoa, Georgia.
. Pastor James Gosnell ex-
tends a special'invitation to
everyone to attend these re-
vival services and hear this
widely known evangelist.


Insurance is made to protect
the property owner from hav-
ing a catastrophic loss. Insur-
ance is threatening to cause
the County to have a catastro-
phic dent in its financial flow
with the payment of threaten-
ed premiums on policies
which are in the process of
being renewed.
Frank Graddy, who is the
County's insurance comptrol-
ler (he manages the County's
insurance and places the busi-
; ness with various agencies
throughout the county). Grad-
dy warned the Commission
that policies on the Courthouse
and Jail and their contents
was now due and the compan-
ies writing the business want
to increase the value of the
buildings.
Graddy said the building is
,still being insured for the
same amount it was the first
year after construction, at
which time it was put on the
insurance rolls at the cost of
construction. He said the in-
surance firms want to raise
this amount of value which
will cause the premium pay-
'ment to go higher.
The Commission had al-
ready been slapped in the face
with extra insurance prem-,
iums before Graddy arrived at
the meeting, and his news only
added to the leaping insurance
costs.
The Commission had been
notified by county finance
officer Jerry Gates that the
workman's compensation in-
surance is being increased by
$10,195 per year. The County
was already paying $32,718 for
this coverage.
In the matter of insurance
for the buildings here in Port
St. Joe, Graddy told the Board
that insurance companies
were up-dating all their cov-
erage to "get more realistic
values on the face of the
policy" in Graddy's words. He
said the reason for the move
was to make it easier to settle
partial losses. "They know it's
almost impossible for the
entire building to burn, at
which time you would be paid


the face amount of the policy,
but a partial loss is another
matter".
The insurance agent said
the county presently has cov-
erage of $760,000 on the Court-
house and contents and $261,-
000 on the Jail and its contents.
Graddy suggested the insur-
ance companies may want to
hike the coverage by as much
as 50 percent, but he suggest-
ed the County attempt to
increase by only 25 percent.
One of the solutions for the
growing insurance problem
discussed by the Commission
was the possiblility of becom-
ing self-insured. Another solu-
tion was to try and purchase
policies with larger deducti-
bles.

Mrs. Griffin

Taken by Death

Saturday

Funeral services for Mrs.
Lucille Griffin, age 62, of
Highland View were held Sun-
day at 2:00 p.m. in the High-
land View Church of God, with
Rev. Howard Goins offici-
ating, assisted by Rev. Wil-
liam Stephens. Burial was in
the Holly Hill Cemetery. Mrs.
Griffin died Saturday morning
at the home of her daughter in
Callaway.
Mrs. Griffin was a native of
Altha and had been a resident
of Port St. Joe for the past 35
years. She was a member of
the Church of God.
Survivors include her hus-
band, Curtis Griffin of High-
land View; one daughter, Mrs.
Betty Suggs of Callaway; two
sons, Jimmy P. Griffin and
Jack C. Griffin, both of Fort
Myers; two sisters, Mrs.
Lovie Curlee of Blountstown
and Mrs. Vorna Parrish of
Hollywood; two brothers, Har-
vey Whitfield and George
Whitfield, both of Altha; and
nine grandchildren.
St. Clair Funeral Home of
Port St. Joe was in charge of
all arrangements.


Gates said the County is now
paying insurance premiums
totaling $90,000 to $100,000 a
year. "That's a full mill of
taxes". Gates observed. He
said. "The County could go a
long way toward being self
insured with this much money
each year".
Rish pointed out that the
City of Port St. Joe was
considering higher deducti-

bles and seeking an expert to
set up an insurance program
using deductibles of up to
$5,000 to bring their insurance
premiums into line. "Perhaps
if the County would ask for
policies with deductibles of
$1,000 to $5,000, depending on
the coverage, you could get
much lower rates. After all,
most of your needs for insur-

Girl Scout Cookie Sale Starts Friday


Friday the 13th maybe an
inauspicious day for some, but
for Girl Scouts in the Big Bend
area, it's a lucky day indeed.
Friday, February 13th, will
mark the first day of the 1976
Cookie Sale for the Girl Scout
Council of the Apalachee
Bend.
Girl Scouts from Holmes to
Taylor counties will begin
ringing doorbells at 3:00 p.m.
Friday and continue selling
cookies through February
28th. They will have five
delicious varieties of cookies
for sale: the popular mint
cookies, shorties, peanut but-
ter, sandwich cremes and the
new peanut butter patties
which promise to be a favorite
with Girl Scout cookie cus-
tomers. Cookies will sell for
$1.25 a box, the same price as
last year.

The 1976 sale will not be
operated by the pre-order
method. When girls arrive at
customer's doors, they will
have the cookies in hand. In
addition to door-to-door sales,
girls will be selling cookies- in
booths at local shopping cen-
ters and in other high-traffic
areas.

When customers buy Girl
Scout cookies, they not only
are receiving a delicious pro-
duct, but are also supporting
Girl Scouting in their -com-
munity. Profits from the
Cookie Sale directly benefit
girls' in a variety of ways.
Each troop receives 12"2 cents


per box of cookies sold for
troop program supplies, pro-
jects or camp-outs. Girls may
also pay their own way to resi-
dence camp by earning Cookie
. Certificates which are award-
ed on the basis of how many
cases of cookies a girl sells.


Last year, 24 girls earned full
Cookie Certificates which en-
titled them to a full week at
residence camp.

Cookie profits realized by
the Council go directly into the
camping program. A Camp


For All Seasons, the new resi-
dence facility located on Lake
Talquin, could never have
been built without the profits
from several year's sales.
Camp Eleanor, on St. Andrews
Bay in Panama City, is main-
tained by cookie money. The


Mayor Frank Pate purchases the first box of Girl Scout
cookies from left to right: Christine Batson, Sheila Lucas. Hope


tents, canoes and cooking
equipment used by girls for
weekend camping are all .paid
for with cookie money.

It doesn't seem possible that
the price of one box of cookies
could do very much, but when


that box is combined with all
the other boxes sold across the
Council, it adds up to quality
program for girls. Buying Girl
Scout cookies is a smart
investment in the future and a
delicious way to support the
Girl Scout Program.

Let's Make Plans to


DoIt Our Way


A recent article in the Florida
rimes-Union, published in Jackson-
ville, pointed out that as recently as
l938, there were only 35,000 register-
ed Republicans in the State of
Florida. These, like Topsy, have
grown in recent years until now,
'there are over a million registered
:Republicans in the state. They are so
affluent that Florida has not cast its
,vote for a Democratic president
:since 1952: that's 24 years ago.
* This isn't to say we should round
;all the Republicans up and ship them
;off somewhere in order that our
;state return to the "solid Democra-
;tic South" of years ago. We person-
.ally like the two party system and
the checks and balances it offers.
What caught our attention in the
;article was the fact that nearly all of
These million-plus Republicans liv-
:ing in Florida came from other
;states: particularly the northern
;states. -,: ,,,,
* Just as the welcome emigrants
ito our state are changing our
politics, they are also having a
:significant affect on the way we do
things and the way we live.
What does concern us is that we
will not be alert to our future and


expansion or improvements as we
who have built this state of Florida
want it; This takes planning. In Gulf
County we have, been averse to
planning to a great extent because
"we don't want somebody telling us
we have to do it".
The state and national govern-
ment is insisting on planning for the
future by governmental subdivi-
sions. We must have a reason for
making some of the requests we now
go to the state and national govern-
ment with so often. This is designed
to keep from spending money in the
future to correct the mistakes of the
past, mostly made through lack of
planning.
If the federal government and
the state ever gets on to the idea that
planning by our people will make
things go like we wish them to, they
may change their rules and regula-
- tions -. ... ,; o;
SWhafwe're trying to say is that',
indications are that we are import-
ing a lot of help to aid us in our
planning and life-style in the future.
If we wish it to maintain that
"Cracker" Florida flavor, we would
do well to get on with our planning
and make things hanren like we
want them to.


The St. Joseph Historical Soci-
ety is another year older and has
seen many projects accomplished
Byr its members in the scant few
years it has been in operation.
The Historical Society probably
gets more done per man than any
t her organization in the County.
There are only 20 permanent mem-
birs and they pay $2.00 per year in
ues.
" The Historical Society works,
lods others, cajoles and pleads for
imose who can to preserve our
story and revive that part which.
,serves to b9 remembered.
They have been largely respon-
sible for resurrecting a dead and
neglected cemetery which contains
history of the State of Florida as well
as the City of Port St. Joe and old St.
Jos6ph. They have almost single-
handedly been responsible for the

you have $5,000 damage to a
building, you can pay that out

premiums".
: GARBAGE DISPOSAL
Insurance and its rising
c6sts are only one of the sticky
problems facing the Commis-
sion these days. The matter of
doing something in their gar-
bage land-fill program by next
year is also staring the Board
in the face.
Emmette Daniell, Mosquito
::Control supervisor advised the
- 6ard that the land-fill area


now serving the south end of
the county has space for about
six more months at the pres-
ent rate of use. "In face of the
new laws requiring garbage to
be buried five feet above the
water table by July of next
year should be taken into
consideration. At any rate we
need some more land-fill area
in the very near future",
Daniell said.
The Board decided to ap-
proach the St. Joe Paper
Company, owners of the pro-
perty where the present land-
fill is located, for permission


ers throughout the county marking
important historic events.
Some tease them by referring to
them as the "Hysterical Society",
and they are almost hysterical about
forcing us to remember from where
we came. We suspect the teasing is a
sign of respect, as it is in so many
cases.
Some say history, isn't import-
ant; it's the future that counts. Yet,
everything we do is based on
precedent of what has been done
before. If the Historical Society did
nothing except keep the first Consti-
tution of the State of Florida (signed
here in Port St. Joe) before us, they
would have performed an important
task.
For those of you who think
historical societies aren't important,
remember, it was some historical
society or its equivalent, who pre-
served the "historic moments" we
see and appreciate on TV each night
during this Bicentennial Year.


to extend the operation to'
adjoining property.
Attorney William J. Rish
advised the Board that he felt
the Legislature would extend
the deadline beyond next year
to solve the pending problem
for the time being. "Too many
other places have our problem
and there is no way they can
get ready to comply with the
new guidelines by next year. I
feel thetrequest for extension
will be granted within the next
60 days, relieving some of the
pressure".
This was the only good news
of the day.

ETAOIN SHRDLU

By WESLEY R. RAMSEY


We all get in the act at some time or other in
stressing safety in various activities. Most of us
never think these acts can endanger us or one of
our loved ones and in most cases we are never
actively involved..
Last week our family was involved in such
an instance when our little six-year-old grandson
was shot in the eye with a pellet gun. He came
within a sliver of losing the sight in one eye.
Luckily, the pellet gun was loaded with the end of
a color crayon rather than a pellet or the eye
would have surely been gone.
The boys, including two of our grandsons
were playing and there was the pellet gun in the
crowd. The accident all us adults preach about
happened.
Stephen made the most of it, as is his nature.


The Carrier:


SPrveyor of More


K 1 Than Just News

By CHARLIE WEBB


I should be a good friend to
my newspaper carrier for he
is often the only live guardian
of my home in the early
mornings when the streets are
deserted.
Kindly communication with
the carrier would also give the
opportunity to share his know-
ledge of the goodness of neigh-
bors. I am isolated from
neighbors through infrequent
visits to their homes, while the
carrier makes daily visits.
Winter is a beautiful season
of the year for neighbors.


Children often return for a
visit, and grandpa and grand-
ma stop by for a rare visit.
How refreshing is the humility
and wisdom of a grandpa and
grandma. To share this
.through the newspaper car-
rier could create a sunshine
that would eliminate the fog of
prejudice that often covers my
heart toward the goodness of
neighbors.
I have thought about prepar-
ing a cup of hot chocolate on a
cold morning for the carrier,
but have been unable to pull

prison of excess slumber in
the mornings to get the job
done.
The moments over the
chocolate could be great
moments. To listen to and
understand the fresh goodness
of the newspaper carrier could
make my own seem old and
spotty. It takes lots of good-
ness for the carrier to get out
of a warm bed and deliver a
newspaper through the cold-
ness and loneliness of a vacant
street, while I am still in the
ease and stupor of sleep.
In the rich, reflective

I could become what I should
become-a simple man with
appreciation of all newspaper

happiness and success and all
those living down in the deso-

* SEEDS FROM

THE SOWER
By Michael A. Guido, Metter, Georgia
S


Some time ago, the body
of a man was found by the
police. He left this note: "I'm
nobody. Nobody cares for
me. I'm like a peanut in Yan-
kee Stadium. I decided to
step on myself once and for
all."
There is no condition so
acute, so universal as lone-
liness the feeling of being
uncared for and unloved.
A man who had been run-
ning for his life wrote in
Psalm 142:4, "I looked on
my right hand, and beheld,
but there was no man that
would know me: refuge failed
me; nfo man cared for my
soul."
This man looked around.
But he did not look up. For


there is Someone who cares
for our souls. He not only
cares, but He has done some-
thing about it.
The Bible says, "Since God
did not even spare His own
Son for us but gave Him up
for us all, won't He also sure-
ly give us everything else?"
He who cared for Noah in
the ark, Job in the ashes, Mo-
ses in the basket, Jonah in the
fish and Daniel in the lion's
den, cares for you watch-
fully.
So let the Lord have your
wants and worries all of
them. You are His personal
concern. He is always think-
ing about you. He loves you
very much.


There he was laid out flat of his back in the
hospital where he wasn't supposed to move, with
both eyes bandaged shut, unable to see even
light. For Stephen that should have been a
catastrophe in itself, since Stephen even moves
in his sleep. He is never still.
As he began to recover somewhat in the
hospital he began to worry. He didn't worry
about his eye, though. His concern was that he
didn't have any pants on and Stephen is very
modest. He sent word back to Port St. Joe from
his bed in Bay Memorial Hospital that he wanted
his pants or his pajamas. That little old hospital
gown just didn't do it for him.
Thursday of last week, he was allowed to
move about some and the time was drawing near
for him to be released and come home. He was
happy, too: not because he was coming home,
but because so many people had brought him so
many things that he now had more of these
valuable things such as color books, candy, fruit,
toys, etc., than his brother did. To top it all off, he
had,a fine new pair of colored glasses to wear,
which his brother didn't have. .
So, while us adults in the family worry about
whether Stephen's eye gets back to normal, he is
nothing but elated that he has hit such a bonanza.
In fact, he's so happy about it, I'm fearful he
might go out and invite someone to shoot him in
the eye again so he can go back to the hospital
and gather in some more loot.

I am. embarrassed!
Last week, I had to make a long distance
telephone call, collect, to one of our suppliers and
I set out to play it cool and use the direct dial
system, set up last week by the telephone
company.
I dialed my number and the operator asked
which special service I needed and I told her.
The call was completed and I received a
recorded message. I dialed again, went through
the same procedure and got the recording again.
The operator came again and asked, "Did
you dial 0, then 1, then your number?"
Real professional like, I assured her I did.
"Just dial 0 plus the number and you will get
your party leave out the 1."
Then it hit me. Here we had printed 55,000
notices for the phone company to mail out in its
bills over the next four months telling people how
to use the system. I had gone through the plant
for pictures and a story of the event and had even
drawn up an ad for the paper explaining how the
new system should be used.
Then, on my first experience with the new
system, I, used it wrong.
I hope you have better luck and read the
directions first.

Two of our children live at White City, where
they keep horses, grow gardens and raise
chickens. For the most part, they keep Frenchie
and I supplied with fresh eggs. Now we seldom
have to buy any eggs for our morning breakfast.
I say "now", because we didn't always eat
the eggs the kids brought in. They had a funny -
color and Frenchie thought they were duck or
turkey eggs. These she used in her cooking and
. bought our breakfast eggs at the super market.
Recently, Catherine, our daughter, asked'
Frenchie how she liked the low cholesterol eggs
she had been bringing in. Frenchie, thinking
Catherine was joking said she didn't use those
duck and turkey eggs to eat; she cooked with
them.
Catherine said, "Don't do that. Those eggs
are from special chickens bred to lay low
cholesterol eggs for eating."
I think Catherine has been fooled by
someone. An egg is an egg. However, we now eat
the pale gray eggs every morning. They no
longer are saved for the cakes and other cooking.
Is there really a chicken that lays low

Mrs. Swatts Installed As



Historic Society President


Stepping down from what he
said would be his last term as
president of the St. Joseph
Historical Society, Jesse Stone
gave a short history of the
Society as he ended his eighth
term as president last Friday
night.
The historians met for their
annual installation banquet
with about 75 guests and
members present in the Port
St. Joe Garden Center on
Eighth Street.
Stone noted that the Society


has only 20 members, with
dues of $2.00 per year for each
member. "We organized in
1959 with only seven mem-
bers", Stone said. He recog-
nized the original members,
Mrs. R. H. Brinson, Mrs.
Charles Brown, Mrs. Zola
Maddox, Mrs. Ruth Soule,
.Mrs. Chauncey Costin and
Mrs. Louise Porter.
Stone pointed to several
projects accomplished by the
Society during the 17 years
they have been 'formed.

Stone, outgoing president of the society. Star Photo

Mrs. Paul Fensom, Mrs. Ralph Swatts, Sr., Mrs. R. H.


Among the most notable ac-
complishments were restora-
tion of the old St. Joseph
Cemetery, St. Joseph State
Park, discovery of several
historical sites and causing
appropriate markers to be
erected at each site, preserva-
tion of a section of the old St.
Joseph and Iola Railroad bed,
collection of a number of
historic relics and publication
of a history of Gulf County as
-well as a number of other
pamphlets and books.
Stone noted, "We don't have
the money to do all these
things. We must rely on others
who are concerned with pre-
serving our history and they
have been most generous dur-
ing the past."
The past president calculat-
ed the Society had caused over
$5 million to be spent for
historic purposes during the
past years.
He especially thanked gov-
ernment, business and indus-
try for their interest in the
Gulf County heritage and their
financial aid given to the
Society.
Senator George Tapper in-
troduced the speaker for the
evening, George Adkins of
Blountstown who gave an in-
teresting talk of the past
history of Gulf and Calhoun
counties. "They used to be all
the same county", Adkins
noted.
He pointed out that some
famous people were interested
in this area. "As a matter of
fact many of the settlement


George Adkins, Speaker
names came from famous
people and their former home
places", Adkins noted. He said
Dalkeith was the home of a
nobleman in Scotland who
named the settlement after his
home town. Iola and Kentucky
Landing received their names
from their former ownership
by the State of Kentucky.
His most interesting obser-
vation was concerning the
area north of Iola. "This area
was one of the richest cotton
growing areas in the world
before the Civil War", Adkins
said. "You have heard of the
'gold rush', it was nothing
compared to the 'cotton
rush' .". Adkins pointed out
that periodic flooding of the.
Apalachicola River basin
made it one of the few cotton

growing areas in the world
which the growing of cotton
didn't kill. '"The river would
keep putting rich soil back to
replenish what cotton had
drained", Adkins said. This
made the area attractive to
cotton planters and as a
consequence the area produc-
ed more cotton to the acre
than any other place in the
world.
MRS. SWATTS INSTALLED
AS PRESIDENT
Following Adkins' address,
Mrs. Ralph Swatts was instal-
led as the new president of the
Society.
Mrs. Swatts introduced her


fellow officers and named
committees for the coming
year.

In fact, during the past few weeks, our
customers used about 21% more elec-
tricity than they did last year at this time.
And like everything else, electricity costs
more than it did last year.
So try to keep up your conservation
efforts. Save energy wherever you can.
Here are some tips to help you save more
electric dollars in the chilly days ahead.


8. Let the sun shine in dur-
ing the day. At night, close
the draperies to minimize
heat loss.
9. Be sure the damper is
closed when fireplace is not
in use. Don't use fireplace on
cold days when regular heat-
ing system is in use because
more heat goes up chimney
than fireplace can provide.
10. There's still cold weather
ahead. So, for additional
energy saving tips, stop by
our nearest office and pick up
a free copy of our booklet,
"How To Conserve Your Elec-
tric Dollar." It can help keep
your electric bills as low as
possible.

January brought more cold weather than
we had all last year. And frigid tempera-
tures probably mean you're using more
electricity than you realize.
During extremely cold weather, it's pos-
sible to use up to twice as much energy
for heating as you would use in a normal
winter month. Your water heater h9 to
work harder, too.

1. Set the temperature at the
lowest comfortable temper-
ature. A setting of 68 70 is
recommended for maximum
: efficiency. Operate the fan onh
"auto" to conserve energy., '
2. Insulation more is less.
Make sure you have enough
insulation. It will cut both heat-
ing and air conditioning costs.
3. Keep the heat inside.
Weatherstrip doors and calk
air leaks around windows.
Put plastic shields over loose
fitting jalousies.


4. Inspect the filters. Replace
filters frequently. Clogged
filters' make your heating sys-
tem work harder use more
electricity.
5. Maintain an even temper-
ature in all rooms with a
ducted system. If you shut
off registers in various rooms
you will unbalance the system
make the heating system
work inefficiently. Unless you
prefer a cooler temperature
for sleeping comfort, you will
save little by setting the ther-
mostat lower at night.
6. Set Individual room units
for comfort. If you have
thermostats in each room, set
Ste#rMperatures,.at theowest
S. stablee levels,. or, example,
bedrooms 50 cooler than liv-
ing areas. Bathrooms, 5
warmer. If you are not using
the room shut the unit off.
Close the door between rooms
with different temperatures.
7. Let the air circulate. Make
sure furniture and draperies
don't block the return air grills.
Outside, keep the exhaust
clear of plants and any other
obstructions.

Help for the Fisherman


The Extension Service has
extended its 'interests from
agriculture to include harvest-
ing the sea, Jeff Fisher told
the Rotary Club last Thurs-
day. Fisher is a Marine Fish-
eries Specialist with the Ex-
tension Service serving fisher-
men of this area and stationed
at Panama City.
Fisher told the Rotary 'Club
his branch offers a similar
service, to the fishing industry
as is offered to farmers by the
agricultural extension ser-
vice. "We offer advice and aid
in boat maintenance, financ-
ing and operation which helps


the fisherman to operate more
economically", he said. In
addition the agency offers
advice on financing new boats
and equipment as well as
research and study the mar-
ket for the producer. "We
have been of help in advising
the fishermen where he can go
to ply his trade when his
specialty is in short supply or
out of season at the time".
In addition, the service,
which operates with financing
from the extension depart-
ment and government sea
grant funds, also conducts
research projects in finding


uses for seafood products
which have previously been
considered as trash.
Fisher said the agency has
conducted numerous work-
shops in various phases of
marine operations in this
area.
Guests of the club Thursday
were Whiting Andrews of Pen-
sacola and Wheelettes Cindy
Adkins and Karen Gosnell.

By Joe St. Clair
Most everyone you see
has a job, they go to work
and do this job the great-
est part of their Aives.
Most of their lives!
That is a pretty big state-
ment. If you are going to
be doing something most
of your life, it should be
something you love and
enjoy.
I'm sorry for the boy or
girl who picks a job
simply for its monetary
rewards. Pay is certainly
important, but the job will.
eventually make the per-
son. A person who finds
the job that lets him feel
he is doing something
that gives him satisfac-
tion will be a happier and
better individual.
If you are spending
your days wondering
about your "vocation,"
then very likely you have
the wrong one.

REMEMBER: "Not only
life but abundance.. .this
is everyone's need."

An area planned for'outdoor
living and recreation is a.vital
part ofa well-designed land-
scape.
Whether it be for the active
,games engaged in by small
children 7or for the- passive
type r-dereationi forr-; most
adults, some provisions should
be made so that all members
of the nmily, their'heighbors,
and friends may sometimes
play together and enjoy the
outdoor environment.'An out-
door living area designed to fit
the needs of a family provides
such apspAce, and should be
developed as a definite and
important part of every home-
grounds.
Patios should be large
enough to be useful. Small
concrete slabs near the house
are often cold and uninviting.
Keep in. mind the kinds' of
activities that will take place
on your patio. The patio should
be large enough to accommo-
date family and friends when
entertaining. Ample room
should) Iek allowed for game
tables .,and for children's
wheeled toys.
However, the patio can be
made son large that it takes onn


out the .entire yard.
In selecting trees. for the
outdoor living area, choose
'small trees with interesting
trunks, branching and leaf
shape. Avoid trees with ob-
jectionable or large fruit,

effect on the agency's pro-

Many of the people in the

have spent most of their lives
in institutions. They have no
conception of what it takes to
hold a job, earn a living, or
manage their own affairs.
Exposure to the world of work
is a necessary element in
preparing them for a job with
a private employer.
Goodwill is structured to
provide instruction and coun--

U.S. Bond Sales Reach High In State


Sales of U. S. Series E and H
Savings Bonds in Florida
reached an all time high in
1975 with total sales of $179.4
million. Florida Savings
Bonds sales in 1975 exceeded
1974 sales by $21.8 million. The
state achieved 113.5 percent of
its 1975 sales goal December
31.
J. Ted Cannon, Gulf County
Volunteer Savings Bonds
Chairman reported Bond sales
in the county totaled $106,393
during 1975. The county
achieved 85.1 percent of its
1975 sales goal the end of


December.
The County, Chairman re-
ported that Savings Bonds
sales hit a record high nation-
ally during 1975 with sales of
more than $7 billion. He noted
that Americans now hold a
record $67.5 billion in U. S.
Savings Bonds.

flowers or seeds that will
create a maintenance pro-
blem.
Place the outdoor living
area so it can be seen from the
living room or dining room
area. An extension of the in-
door function to a similar out-
door use is desirable. It should
not interfere with the service
areas or driveway. The area
should be enclosed to insure
complete privacy for the fam-
ily dressed in casual wear.
Plants are important in out-
door living areas. Interesting
specimens that give a variety
of seasonal effects will elim-
inate the monotony often as-
sociated with many plants
used in the landscape. Be-
cause the family will be close
to the living material, use
those plants that are striking
from the standpoint of color,
form and texture.
Color is a must in the
activity area and should be
planned for year round in such
a key area of the landscape.
Flowering annuals in masses
in the patio area are easy to
establish and due to the great
variety of flowering annuals
we have an excellent choice
for adding color to the land-
scape. Many small trees have
colorful blooms, seed pods or
fruit. Colorful shrubs with per.
-marent'folage-dclbr can be%,
realasset to the living ared
with not only blooms, but fol-
iage as well.
However, remember, that a
hodge-podge of many plants
which entangle and become
lost in a mass of green is
undesirable. Work out the
vital planting schemes in your
yard just as you would select

It's Only


Your


MONEY


But That's Not My Signature!
By GERALD A. LEWIS
Comlitroller of Florida


Forgery can be a costly
experience, regardless of
which end you find yourself
on.
It's a crime, of course, to
forge someone else's name'
on a check or any other docu-
ment, and it can result in five.
years in prison.
If you're the victim of a
forgery, however, the loss
can be painful if you don't
know what to do.
The first and best precau-
tion is to safeguard your
checkbook, so that it never
falls into the hands of a po-
tential forger.
All the safeguards in the
world, however, may not
prevent you from falling vic-
tim to a forger. It's essential
that you take every precau-
tion to discover forgeries as
soon as possible, and know
what to do if you do find
someone has forged your
name.
Here are some tips which
might' be helpful:
,1) Examine each check in
your monthly statement


Bowling


I


carefully, including the sig-
natures.
2) Make it a point to ac-
count for each check by
number, so that a misplaced
check doesn't fall into the
wrong hands. If you find you
are missing checks, notify
your bank.
3). If you get a cancelled
check which you are sure
you didn't sign, take it to
your bank immediately. You
will be asked to sign a notor-
ized statement that the sig-
nature on the check is false.
Most banks will then credit
the amount of the check to
your account.
4) Once a forgery is re-
turned to the bank, the next
step is to report it to local
law enforcement authorities.
Remember, it is your re-
sponsibility not the
bank s, to detect and re-
port any unauthorized or
forged checks. Only by re-
porting these things to your
bank immediately can you
recover your money.

Thomas added, "The Com-
