w THIRTY-NINTH YEAR, N MBER 25 Industry Deep Water Port Fine People Safest Beaches in Florida PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1976 Flood Insurance Requirements Ultra Constrictive Cure May be Worse 4 Than Disease Port St. Joe may have flood insurance protection in the future, but the City will prob- ably have less new buildings because of the regulations involved than would be de- stroyed by any possible future flood, also because of the new regulations. Government representa- tives of the 'program, Bob Cassel, Everett Ramey and John Miller came to Port St. Joe last Thursday afternoon to explain the new regulations to the City Commission. Port St. Joe has qualified for flood insurance since the pro- gram went into effect in 1968, but only on an emergency basis. No guidelines for com-' plying for the coverage have been furnished as yet. Now that the guidelines are coming out, it looks as if the flood -insurance requirements will be more destructive to build- ing than the flood itself., In other words, the cure will be worse than the disease.' According to Cassel, Ramey and Miller,. the area enclosed in the city limits of Port St. Joe will be divided into four areas. All, of the ,areas will require structures to be built with the ground floor at least 12 feet above sea level. The different areas set out in the city are drawn up from eleva- tion. the only reasons for the different areas is that differ- ent areas will be required to reach their 12 foot elevation in different manners. Along theN waterfront area, 'where the elevation 'funs about four 'to six feet, new buildings or dwellings will be required to build on stilts. If the owner desires to enclose the bottom story of his two-story house (two-story because of the.ele- vation requirements) he must enclose it' with break-away panels, which will wash away in a flood. Miller explained that the elevations were drawn up from the 100 year flood exper- ience in any given area. When he was told the area. had .never been flooded until this past year, and then, not to an elevation of 12 feet, Miller replied, "According to the off-shore shelf, depth of the Gulf water and the elevation of shore property, you are susceptible to a flood of such dimensions. Since you haven't had a flood in 100 years, you are now due to experience one". Based on such scientific information, the 12 building elevation was arrived at. There is a choice to be made. The City can reject the flood insurance, making it unavailable for its citizens. But the fly in that ointment is that all lending agencies in- sured by a government agen- Club Gets to Work cy (now virtually all of them) require flood insurance in their financing programs. After the flood insurance program is finalized for the area, the coverage would still be available for buildings in existence now, but their rate would be based on their sea level elevation. "In. no in- stance will the rate go above 50c for each $100 of valua- tion", Cassel said. Limits would still be $35,000.on dwel- lings and $100,000 on commer- cial buildings. According to the map pro- vided by the visitors, most of the Port St. Joe area now developed would require some extent of elevation to be eligible for the coverage, though buildings now built would be exempt from the elevation requirements. The only section of the city which would not be affected by unusual requirements is that area in the vicinity of Garri- son Avenue. The City Commission is fearful that the regulations if applied within six months as the visitors said they would be, would completely halt construction in the city. "No- body could afford to build", Mayor Frank Pate said, "since these restrictions would double the price of construction of a new home." Since the major portion of Port St. Joe lies from four to (Continued On Page 2) Deadline Near for Filing Exemptions Homeowners are rapidly reaching the point when it will be too late to file for homestead exemption for tax paying purposes, County Appraiser Samuel A. Patrick said this week. Patrick said the Florida law sets March 1 of each year as the deadline for property owners to file homestead exemptions for the following tax year. The exemptions give the homeowner a tax break on the first $5,000 value of his home. Any value above $5,000 is taxable. "Homestead exemption is not an automatic thing for those who own their dwellings", Patrick said, "Those 'who wish the exemption must file for it. Otherwise, homeowners will be assessed taxes \ against the entire value of their dwelling", Patrick said it is. illegal for. Patrick to grant .the exemption- unless it is requested by the property owner. Securing the exempt status costs the property owner nothing. Special Olympics Friday Annual special olympics for the mentally retarded will be held in the football stadium Friday morning, according to Mrs. Bill Lyles, coordinator for the event here in Gulf County. *Mrs. Lyles said Walter Wil- der, director of the Gulf County Recreation Depart- ment will conduct the activi- ties, which will begin at 10:30 A.M. Special bowling activities in the olympic competition will be held on February 27 at the St. Joe Bowling Lanes. Mrs. Lyles said there will be eight events in Friday's pro- gram, with 30 young people participating. The winner in the, various events will go to Tyndall Air Force Base on April 17 to compete in the regional meet. Transfe'read Helicopter Gulf County Ambulance service made the, first use of their helicopter ambulance service Monday morning of this week, when City Police -'Patrolman Howard Rogers was transferred to. Tallahassee Memorial Hospital with an artery blockage. Rogers was a patient in Municipal Hospital but his serious condition demanded the transfer to Tallahassee. The helicopter was furnished by the U. S. Army at Ft. Rucker, Alabama. In the photo above, Rogers is loaded aboard the helicopter for the flight by ambulance crewmen Ronnie Cox, C. L. Sylvester, Mrs. Norma Wall (partially hidden) Patrolman Bobby Lightfoot, Dick Lamberson, Dana Holton, an air ambulance crewman and Jim Gregg. At last report, Rogers was recovering and doing better. Star photo Fund Drive Plans Made The Board of Directors of the Port St. Joe Unit of the American Cancer Society met last Thursday to make and complete plans for their 1976 drive. Mrs. Sally Bond, Executive Director from Panama City, will meet with all Crusade workers tonight in the Fellow- ship Hall of the First United Methodist Church to conduct a training session. The session will begin at 7:00 p.m. Coffee Day will be observed at Jimmy's Restaurant on next Tuesday, Feb. 24. All proceeds from coffee sales this day will go to the Cancer Fund. Anyone interested in helping with the house-to-house cru- sade or in any phase of the Cancer Society work is asked to please attend the training session being conducted to- night. Volunteers are urgently needed for the house-to-house -campaign. Please call Rev. McCurdy at 227-5361 for infor- mation as to how you can help. City Takes Step to Cut Insurance Payments V k -Al f i' i iii iT- Ii.uJ I..

As is their nature, the Port St. Joe Quarterback Club grew impatient waiting for the wheels of government to turn and set to work themselves to re-build the baseball stadium before the new baseball season begins next month.

The stadium is shown above. The, only things left to do is to put the sheeting on the roof and to paint the bleacher seats. Star Photo The City Commission took the first step in what is hoped will be a means in reducing rapidly climbing insurance premiums Tuesday night. Payne Midyette, Jr., and Walter Kenkel of Midyette- Moor Insurance Agency of Tallahassee were present for the regular Commission meet- ing at the request of the Commission to consider an investigation of the City's insurance needs and consider a program which will ade- quately cover liabilities. The agency is being con- sidered on a consulting basis to provide a plan which would protect the City and -yet be economical from the premium standpoint. At present the, City's insur- ance premiums are going out of sight and it is thought by the Commission that several items now insured would be better left uninsured and some items might bear cheaper premiums if the deductibles were higher than they are now. For example, some buildings are now insured with $100 deductibles. It is thought a considerable amount in premiums may be saved if the deductibles are raised to $1,000 or even $5,000 in some instances and insure for catas- trophic losses only. Midyette advised the Board Tuesday night his firm did a great deal of this type of work and had access to the informa- tion available from several other large insurance firms which might be of benefit to the City's needs. He proposed his firm would assess the City's needs, pre- pare specifications for bids and examine .the bids when they are returned, selecting the best deal for the City for a fee of $3,00G0. Midyette said the job would take several months to com- plete, and since the City insurance premiums bear an October anniversary date, a decision on which way to go should be made in the very near future. "If we are to do this work, we need to get to work next month in order to call for bids in July", Midyette said. After receiving the propo- sal, the Commission told Mid- yette they would make their decision by the next meeting, (Continued On Page 2) Mrs. Delie G. Hatcher Taken by Death Friday Mrs. Delie G.

Great Discovery - Kids Can't Read A Florida House Education Committee has reported that despite increased emphasis on basic skills in recent years, the major concern of Florida teachers is that their pupils have not learned reading, writing and arithmetic. Do tell! From what little read- ing we find time to do, it's our opinion that others have had this .knowledge for years. The report goes on to say that at every grade level teachers expres- sed concern and even anger that they were being forced to try to help students operating at far below the nominal grade level. We're happy the teachers and -educators have realized this fact and are "concerned" and "angered" over the situation. The only sad thing about the situation is that it came a generation too late. We now have a generation trying to make their way in the world, barely able to write their name and spell all the -words correctly and college gradu- ates who stumble over even the most - elementary paragraph while trying to read. It's a sad commentary for the best financed educational system in the world. While it elates us to *see the teachers concerned about the situa- tion, it dismays us that they only talk about the situation rather than sit their pupils down for a part of each day and attempt to correct the problem. They have the expertise and the tools. Now they say they have the concern. The next genera- tion should be a generation of readers and spellers. In defense of the teachers, though, we have become a push-but- ton nation. If something is too hard to accomplish other than by pushing a button or programming a comput- er, it is beyond our energies. There is no short cut to learning to spell, reqd and figure. It comes through practice, just like playing football or basketball-subjects which we don't seem to mind the effort or work to -become skilled at: Let's teach our children to read, spell, and do arithmetic. Who knows: in so doing, we may teach them to think to the point where they may become even better at the games of football, basketball and baseball. - Recommends Reduction The average American will not be able to live a full or rich life unless the population is reduced by 60 million persons, Dr. Linus Paul- ing says. Dr. Pauling, the Nobel prize winning egghead says the optimum population for the United States should be about 150 million. It now stands at 214 million. Dr. Pauling goes on to say "The people in the United States do not have the happiness that comes from drinking good natural water; in- stead they drink diluted sewage containing chlorine and organic and industrial contaminants. "They breathe air contaminated with oxides of nitrogen and sulfur, with hydrocarbons and aldehydes, with lead and carbon monoxide and soot " We can't help but wonder where Dr. Pauling has been getting his drinking water. It tastes pretty good to us here in Port St. Joe. It tastes a site better than the natural water out of the pristine Chipola or Apalachi- cola Rivers. And, to be honest, we're glad to have our water chlorinated and by-pass the.pleasure of typhoid fever which Americans enjoyed back when everyone depended on that "natural water" for drinking purposes. Dr. Pauling may have a point about the air we breathe. We might be better off with breathing clean, fresh air while we hunted our meat or grew our vegetables, since there would be no manufacturing plants to package our foods. Concerning the over-population, Dr. Pauling goes on to suggest Congress study this problem, agree on an optimum population and take steps to achieve this goal. There's only two ways to do this, Dr. Pauling, keep the people .from being born or kill them off. Either way seems too drastic a measure to us merely to arrive at a population which some professor thinks is ideal. Continued from Page 1. Flood Ins. eight feet above sea level, it is easy to see the extreme con- sequences the new regulations have for the future of the community. The main point of contention toward the new regulations brought up by the Commission was that the Panama City Beach area, which suffered such devastating damage from the recent hurricane, is required to build only 10 feet .above sea level. The visitors admitted that the Peninsula across from Port St. Joe had protected it from undue damage over the years and would probably continue to do.so. As the only ray of hope, the flood insurance representa- tives said the City had the opportunity to appeal the de- cision as they had outlined, but left little doubt that the appeal would do less than no good at all. Nevertheless, the City Com- mission has decided to leave no stone unturned to get the requirements softened to something the people can live with. C4ty Takes Mareh,9. WANT BALL PARK REPAIRED A delegation of citizens from ,the North Port St. Joe area, requested the Commission to make substantial repairs to the. baseball stadium on Ave- nue A before the season starts on Palm Sunday. Robert Bryant, acting as spokesman noted the Com- mission agreed to make sub- stantial repairs last Septem- ber, but they have not been Letters to the Editor Dear Wesley: I've heard numbers of fav- orable comments about your write-up of our annual dinner meeting of the St. Joseph Historical Society. It. was a nice write-up and the pictures were good. The Society thanks you and I thank you, person- ally. While I'm about it, I would like to express my apprecia- tion to you and Frenchie for all the nice things you've done for us through the years of Society history and especially for your cooperation in the pub- lishing, of our Celebration History program last year. We really do appreciate both of you and feel that you are a part of our program. May God bless you as you continue to serve our com- munity as Editor of The Star. Most sincerely, Maybel Swatts, P... resident Last Thursday evening I had a call from John Rich to attend a dinner the Electrical Union members at the Paper Mill were giving for retiring B. C. Gaillard and Bill Quarles. I attended and was fed some fine select raw oysters laced with "Possum" Lynn's own private stock of pepper sauce. (I should have spelled that word "pepper" in all cap letters). The oysters were good and the fellowship. better. I go to these retirement parties pretty often now, with the original employees at the paper mill all getting on toward the retirement age. The thing which struck me at, this particular retirement party which I hadn't realized before was the quality of the talent St. Joe Paper Company has managed to attract over the years to keep their operation going smoothly. They have men at the Paper Mill I think could do .everything anyone -might want done except A Dollar Down: The Bootlegger vs. the Revenoor By CHARLIE WEBB L- --- -- --By During prohibition our sup- plier of bottled spirits had a reputation of always deliver- ing his home-made product and was never caught in the act. His simple philosophy made. Parks Commission James B. Roberts told Bryant the City had made new bleachers for the stadium and were told they were not acceptable. Roberts said the Commission was told the people of the area wanted the stadium as it was and would prefer it be rebuilt on the same style. Roberts said repairs were made to the stadium last year and that financing has been applied for to replace the entire complex this year but the financing hasn't come through as yet. Roberts said he would meet with Bryant and see what repairs could be made "to make the facility usable until the bleacher section could be re-built. The Commission also agreed to provide softball facilities for the area by re-working a little boys base- ball field which is not now being used for that purpose. LIGHTS APPROVED The City was notified this past week by the U. S. Coast Guard that the Coast Guard had approved a request for all-directional lights to be placed on navigational aids in St. Joseph Bay. It had been pointed out to the Commission, and then to the Coast Guard, by David Maddox, that the navigational aids "offered a night time boating hazard to those not familiar with the Bay. The Coast Guard letter said the lights would be installed at the earliest date possible. was, "alertness today is free- dom tomorrow." Most people in town were abstainers, with only a few of us suffering effects of the "shakes" from pulling on a NEW PARKING METERS At the meeting two weeks ago, it was brought to the attention of the Commission that many parking meters were not operating properly and needed replacing. As a result of the informa- tion, the- Police Department was instructed to' survey the meters and see how many were old and giving trouble. As a result of the survey, the Commission authorized Clerk Charles Brock to call for bids for the purchase of 150 new meters at Tuesday's meeting. The meters will replace all of the older meters in the city and place meters at spots where they are needed. Drive to Aid Guatemalans The Port St. Joe Garden Club is spearheading a drive for Gulf County folks to con- tribute funds to aid the earth- quake victims in Guatemala. A special Guatemala ac- count has been set up at Florida First National Bank, with tellers depositing all cash donations to the account. All funds will be sent directly to the needy. The Port St. Joe Garden Club assures all con- tributors there will be no ad- ministration charge. For Ambulance Call 227-2311 pint bottle day and night. Folks desiring a nip during winter would rig up an old lard can and run off a gallon or two on top of the cook stove after the evening meal. Then in the summer there were blueber- ries to make a sparkling wine drink. During fall the nubbin ears of corn with a syrup . additive would sour off, a tasty and easy-drinking corn beer, just for filling up all the empty clay jugs under the back porch. The bootlegger said that in order to keep from starving to death under such dry condi- tions he would meet the train down at the depot to peddle his product to anyone who would stick his head out of a train window and yell, "pint." A law agent attempted to trap the distributor by order- ing a pint of joy through a train window. Delivery agree- ment between the two was for the agent to pay one dollar in advance, and also hold the shoe box that the bootlegger carried under one arm, until the bootlegger returned. The agent then began to chuckle over how easy it was going to be to get the evidence and the bootlegger at the same time, but the bootlegger never re- turned. As the train pulled away, the agent realized he had been outwitted, and was-out one dollar for a battered shoe box, but at least the heroic image of the bootlegger always de- livering his product was des- troyed. Curiously opening the shoe box, he found inside a pint of 100 proof yellow river swamp juice. Perhaps the bootlegger was now reviewing his philosophy of alertness as he carefully shoe-boxed another pint for the dangerous advent into the freedom of his tomorrow in always delivering the product. maybe brain surgery and do a top-notch job at it. Here at The Star we have always had some, pretty complicated and sophisticated equip- ment; especially in the electrical part of the machinery. At times we have been in trouble with breakdowns. We've called on the late Harry ' Brewton, Bob Jackson and Braxton Ward, along with many others over the years and they diagnosed and corrected our problems in nothing flat, even though they knew nothing at all about the particular machine they were working on. In the past we have had parts break on our complicated type setter and on presses, with another part no closer than maybe Chicago or New York and a machine which needed to run. On occasion, we have called, again, on the paper mill craftsmen and on occasion, they have made us parts when they were not available anywhere -"else. There are men there who can do just about anything with a piece of machinery and do it as well or better than the original part. Emory Stephens is another one who has bailed us out of trouble time and time again. Emory has since retired from the mill and now operates his own machine shop. How they managed to attract all this talent I don't know, but they have a corps of some pretty sharp men out there. I guess if a group of men have the expertise to keep a paper mill running smoothly, they can keep anything running. I saw this little paragraph in an area weekly a couple of weeks ago, just after George Wallace was dropped while being unloaded from an airplane in Pensacola. The paragraph said: "I'm sure Governor Wallace hopes he has a firmer hold on his followers than his aide had on him." Did the groundhog really see his shadow? The old wives tale has it that if he does see his shadow, it's an indication of six more weeks of winter. ; If this is winter, I'll take it 12 months out of the year. IThe weather has been just beautiful here in the Panhandle the past week. I hope this bragging doesn't cause the groundhog to act up and point his finger at us, conjuring up an icy blast to back up his reputation. Have you been watching the Winter Olym- pics at night? I've seen several of the telecasts and I continue to be amazed at how those people stand up on those skiis and ice skates, much less perform acrobatics on them. I'm afraid I would be sort of like Pierre Salinger was the other night, when he was introduced to a pair of skiis. About the time he thought he had it licked and could stand up unaided, his feet went out from under him and he was flat of his back in the .snow. As a contrast, it was pure magic the way those pretty girls performed in the figure skating on ice. The best thing about the television broad- casts of the Olympics was that television had some entertainment on.the tube for a few nights and didn't have to rely on some of the sick situations they label "comedy" or "entertain- ment". As I was coming to work Saturday morning, I noticed some azaleas are beginning to bloom. The red buds are next, then it's fishing time! .Isn't that a happy thought on which to end this effort?

FBLA Members Celebrate Business Week with Visits Course In Indian Artifacts Begins T A course in Collecting and Identifying Florida Indian Artifacts will begin tonight, Feb. 19, at Port St. Joe High School. The course will last from seven to nine p.m. The instructor will be Jim Haisten of the Florida Anthropological Society. The course will consist of in- struction in locating, collect- ing and identifying local In- dian artifacts found in North- west Florida. Detailed infor- mation will be given in search- ing for Indian sites, such as campgrounds, villages, shell middens and burial mounds. Three methods of collecting artifacts will be discussed. This will include surface col- lecting, digging test holes and trenches with use of the sifter, UMW Group Met Last Night Mission Group 3 of the United Methodist Women met in the home of Mrs. Lindsey Temple for a program and business meeting, Tuesday night, with Mrs. Paul Edwin Ramsey presiding. Mrs. Ramsey led the group in prayer, then conducted the business session, urging the group to be in prayer for the revival to be held at the church, February 29 through March 5. Following the business, Mrs. Sidney Anchors present- ed the program, "Message In Song", with scripture' from Matthew 21:12-16. Each mem- ber read and discussed a favorite hymn. At the conclu- sion, refreshments were serv- ed to 12 members and one visitor. night at and skin diving in local springs and rivers. A great deal of time will be spent on identifying projectile points using "A Guide to the Identification of Florida Pro- jectile Points", by R. P. Bullen of the Florida State Museum at Gainesville. The above book will be used for the text of the course and will be free. Other artifacts will be iden- tified by using "Sun Circles and Human Hands-The Southeastern Indians-Art and Industry." This will be a reference book used by the instructor, however students may want to purchase this book. The September 1974 issue of the Florida Anthropologist has three very good articles on four Indian sites found on St. Andrews Bay in Panama City, with two of the sites found,by Jim Haisten, instructor for this course. Dr. Dan F. Morrse School of FSU in his article stated that ancient man has lived in this area and around this bay for over 10,000 years. Collec- tors each week are picking up hundreds of artifacts from around the bay, but many thousands are left behind for lack of proper identification. The course will consist of 12 hours of class room instruc- tion with actual local artifacts being displayed and examined by the class, and a four-hour field trip to one of the many Indian sites on the bay for collecting man's ancient past.

Major Tom Garrison Speaks to Rotarians Major Tom Garrison of the Florida Fish and Game Com- mission told the Rotary Club last Thursday the state organ- ization is working under a handicap. "We still have just as much to do, but the wage and hour law is causing us to curtail some of our working hours", he said. Major Garri- son said in the past, the officers have worked as they were needed. "Now we don't go beyond 40 hours or we have to pay overtime and there are no provisions in the state budget for overtime pay". Major Garrison said that as a result of the situation, the Commissions is depending on getting help from citizens. "We're getting a lot of help", Garrison said. He' told the Club that many citizens are now watching for and report- ing violations. "This is the only way we can be effective until our budget is increased -enough to~ hire more person- nel", the officer said. Garrison touched for a few minutes on the gun handling safety program the Commis- sion is teaching over the state. Garrison said the course was teaching many children and adults to have a safer attitude toward guns. "We want people to know the safe way to handle a gun when they go hunting" GCARC Will Meet Tonight The Gulf County Association of Retarded Citizens is holding its monthly meeting February 19, at 7:00 p.m. The meeting will be held at the Wee Folks Cener on Main Street in North Port St. Joe.

Legal Advertising By Joe St. Clair I believe it was the late Will Rogers who said, "I neyer met a man I didn't like." If this is true then you would have a difficult time finding someone who didn't like Will Rogers. That is the way it is! Love people, and you will be loved. Find a person who is constantly mad at others, and you will find a man with few friends. In this great compli- cated world of ours love is the one item that is shared. Share for share in almost 100 percent of the cases. OUR THOUGHT TO REMEMBER: "To be a friend one must be friendly."

THURSDAY, FEB. 19, 1976 PAGE SEVEN Navy Band will Have Music for Everyone An afternoon and evening of musical entertainment second to none is in store for North- *west Florida citizens on Mon- day, March 1, when the famous U. S. Navy Band and the Sea Chanters will be heard in concert at the Port St. Joe High School coliseum. A great and stirring musical organization, known world- wide for its magnificent reper- toire, the U. S. Navy Band, along with the Sea Chanters choral group, will perform at one p.m. and again at seven p.m. The band's library of great band and orchestra music is one of the largest to be found anywhere. In the vast library can be found anything from a "hard rock tune" of today's generation, and pop tunes, to an invaluable first edition concert and symphony work that is yellow with age. The Sea Chanters, the Navy Band's all male choral group, sings all types of choral music. As the name implies, much of its repertoire is the traditional chanties or folk songs of the sea; but, the Chanters also use material from the shows of Broadway and Hollywood, as well as operatic and classical pieces. The matinee program is planned mainly for the youth of America and the evening concert is attuned to the dis- criminating taste of the adult audience. The afternoon show is made up of popular music, classic presentations and novelties guaranteed to de- light the student audience. The night performance is selected with the view of pleasing genuine music lovers of all ages. Counting support personnel, approximately 175 carefully selected musicians make up the Navy musical organiza- tion. Thi tour band is made up of 55 of the finest instru- mentalists available. The Sea Chanters is comprised of some 12 Carefully selected singers, including "six tenors, three baritones and three basses.

With intense preparation and a fantastic memory, Muff- ley conducts any one of the 25,000 selections in the Navy Band music library. He start- ed directing band at an early age, directing high school band concerts, and in June 1973 by personal invitation of Arthur Fiedler, 'Commander Muffley appeared as guest conductor of the renowned Boston Pops Orchestra, with- out a score, of course. Seilor :Chief Musician Bob Sissidh is the director of the Sea Chanters choral group. He attributes the success of the group to its quality and profes- sionalism. Before the chorus accepts a new member, the musician, must qualify for duty through auditions, and must possess flexibility in various styles of music. Steep- ed in illustrious history of America and its Navy, the Sea Chanters group is an exciting, colorful and highly profes- sional chorus. slice, cornbread, cinnamon rolls, milk.

"The Postal Service pro- vides safeguards in the trans- portation of mail, against mail fraud and false representa- tion, and provides assistance with mail-order and service problems," the Postmaster continued. "Our consumer protection program works through the Inspection 'Ser.- vice, Consumer Protection Of-" fice of the Law Department, the Judicial Office and the Consumer Advocate." Working together these four departments resolve com- plaints of alleged mail-order swindles when postal cus- tomers fail to receive mer- chandise ordered, refunds promised or find that the ser- vice or product purchase is not as advertised. When a complaint is made, the Postal Service decides whether to investigate for possible commerical decep- tion or to handle it informally as in cases where poor busi- ness practices are found to be the problem. Whatever action, the customer is notified. In cases where it is believed that false representation by mail exists, the Consumer Protection Office working with information obtained from postal inspectors initi- ates administrative proce- dures to stop the mail in response to the alleged false representation. If it is found following ad- ministrative proceedings that the mails are being used to promote schemes to obtain Sign Up for Softball Play An Open Softball Tourna- ment will be held in Port St. Joe on March 12, 13 and 14.

Fonrerly Frosty Morn Meats Millage Question On March Ballot On March 9, Florida votes will vote in the Presidential Primary, but included on the ballot will be a Constitutional Amendment seeking to authorize an ad valorem tax to finance the management and development of the State's vital . water resources. The amendment would limit local taxes for water management purposed to not more than one (1) mill. The Northwest Florida Water Management Authority is urging passage of this amendment. If the referendum passes, they contend that control of water management programs and water resources development will remain at the local level, and not in Tallahassee. Also the water resources problems and programs will not have to compete for funds with other critical state programs. With the state divided in to five essentially self-supporting Water Management Districts, those persons who stand to benefit most from the programs of water management will bear the costs of their benefits. Because of the statutory limitation on taxing authority, each water management district would be required to seek legislative approval for millage levies of more than 0.3 mills. The water management boards are composed of local people residing within their district and if the referendum fails, state assumption of funding responsibilities for water management will result in the assertion of state authority over water management districts. This could eventually result in staggered fees, based on the amount of water used, and could be assessed against all persons who withdraw water from ground or surface waters.
