Wallace, Reagan, Carry Gulf County



State Preferred Ford and Carter


There's no doubt about it.
This is Wallace Country.
With George Corley Wal-
lace, Governor of Alabama,
coming in second state-wide in
the Presidential Preference
Primary, former Georgia
Governor Jimmy Carter, who
carried the state in the Dem-
ocratic contest, wasn't even
close enough to be called
second in the contest here in
Gulf County.
Wallace gleaned 1,368 of the
2,059 Democratic votes cast,
to completely out-class all his
opposition. Carter came in a
far, far distant second with
only 320 votes.
It was a light vote which was
cast Tuesday, with only 36
percent of the 5,709 registered
Democrats bothering to cast
their ballots for the covey of 12
candidates listed on the voting
machine.
The only precinct carried by
Carter was Precinct Eight
here in Port St. Jo'e, and even
there, Wallace was breathing
on Carter's coattails as Carter
collected 70 ballots and Wal-
lace 59.
Wallace carried every other
precinct in the County by huge
majorities.
REPUBLICANS
Republicans in the county
were better stewards of their
voting privilege, with 71 of the
115 registered Republicans go-
ing to the polls and voting at a
61 percent rate. .
The Gulf County Republi-
cans, like the Democrats,
didn't see eye to eye with the
rest of the state. While the
State of Florida was giving a
majority to President Gerald
Ford, Gulf County Republi-
cans were expressing their
desire to see Ronald Reagan
as their next president. Rea-
gan carried the county han-
dily, 55 to 16.
AMENDMENT
Gulf Countians continued to
remain a suspicious lot when
it comes to voting Constitu-
tional Amendments upon
themselves. They.have a rec-
ord of turning down amend-
ments and they did it again
Tuesday.
The water tax Constitutional
Amendment failed here in
Gulf County, 1,337 to 374, but


managed to squeak by with
approval over the state when
the populous south Florida
counties reported in. 'These
counties were already paying


The City of Port St. Joe
received its first request for a
meeting to begin negotiations
with the State Employees
Union Local 1306 Tuesday
night. The union wanted to
meet with the Board to begin
negotiations on March 22, but
the Commission has asked for


the tax and evidently wished
the remainder of the state to
join them in their revelry.
While a small minority of
the registered voters went to


another date.
City employees recently
voted by a slim majority to
become affiliated with the
union under the new state
Public Employees Relations
Act. Every city employee with
the exception of hospital and
police department employees


the polls here in Gulf County,
there is little doubt but what
they expressed the opinions of
the majority, in the way they
voted.

Board Investigating Investigation


The Gulf County Commis-
sion looked further, Tuesday,
into the matter of an investi-
gation being conducted by
. County Judge David Taunton
into some ditch digging which
was done in the St. Joseph Bay
Country Club area prior to the
construction of the golf
course.
The Commission wants to
know why the investigation is
going on because they feel


everything which was done,
was done on a legal basis, they
have been audited many times
since the work was done and
have not been criticized by the
state auditors.
Chairman Money sent to the
Judge's office to have him
come and explain his investi-
gation and explain just what
he was looking for. Judge
Taunton said he would not
come to the Cbmmission


chambers at this time but may
appear before them in a future
meeting.
The Commission then de-
cided they would go see the
Judge and question his actions
and motives.
In the judge's chambers,
Taunton explained he was
looking for nothing in particu-
lar. He said he just wanted to
find out what was going on and
he was exercising his right as


a private citizen to search the
public records. He said when
his investigation was com-
pleted he would approach the
Commission with what he had
found.
Taunton was then asked if.
he was making the investiga-
tion as a private citizen or
under his official title of Judge
of the county. Taunton studied
the question a moment then
replied it was a matter of


interpretation as to which
capacity he was operating
under.
When that question was
disposed of, Chairman Money
hit him with several long
distance telephone bills char-
ged to the Judge's office which
evidently were made in con-
nection with the investigation.
"Should the county pay these

Paper Mill

Going Down
St. Joe Paper Company will
cease operations on Saturday,
March 13 for a two to three
week period, according to
Tom S. Coldewey, vice-presi-
dent in charge of operations.
Coldewey said the mill
would be down for at least two
weeks and possibly three as
the firm adjusts its inventory
on hand.

The Post Office has three alternatives: shut the

At Overstreet, the postal service operates for four
hours a day, six days a week. The Postmaster salary
for the office is $8,000 a year and rent on the building an
additional $1,200. Other similar areas have contracted
the service for around $3,000 a year.

to name another date.
Several months ago, the
Commission was asked to

facilities almost exclusively
said the bleachers are in
dangerous condition and need
replacing.

Heavy Rains, Winds, Bring Damage


Heavy rains lashed the Port St. Joe area
Monday night and early Tuesday morning,
bringing with it hail and a small tornado
which inflicted considerable damage in the
southern portion of the city and Ward Ridge.
According to "unofficial official" wea-
therman Bill Simmons of St. Joe Paper
Company, the area received 4.8 inches of rain
during the night. The heavy rains caused
some flooding which quickly ran off.
The tornado roared in from the bay about
5:00 A.M. Tuesday morning and seemed to
have a special taste for TV antennas.


The twister, which brought the hail with
it, touched down in the Cypress Avenue area,
twisting TV antennas and laying them down
and picked up a small utility shed from the
back yard of Joel Gainous and placed it on top
of his home. The contents of the shed were
still in place, just as they had been placed in
the shelter. Several pine trees in the area had
been broken or twisted off and limbs were
strewn over the area.
In Ward Ridge, the TV antennas were
again the chiof victim of the twister, but a
green house and car port roof also resisted the


twisting winds to no avail.
A tall TV tower at the home of Harry
Hallinan was blown to the ground, a green
house at the home of John Rich was blown
into the street and the roof from the carport of
Daryl Strickland was picked up and laid in
the driveway at the home.
Power was out in the entire southern
section of the city but was quickly restored by
Florida Power. Lack of power hampered the
opening of schools Tuesday morning. Power
was restored to the schools just before classes
were to begin.


In dollar value, the Port St. Joe High
School probably suffered the most intense
damage. The twister blew the roof off one of
the classroom-pods, causing intensive flood-
ing inside the building. Roof damage was also
reported to the new vocational education
building at the rear of the high school
complex.
In checking on the rainfall with Simmons,
he said the deluge was the sixth largest in
volume over a period of time in the 12 years
he has been keeping up with rain measure-
ments.

Reagan Has Some


( ood Ideas


Whether or not R onald Reagan
wins the Republica .n nomination
and-or election as p resident of the
United States, every tone must agree
that he has hit u pon some valid
points in his car npaign which it
would seem all leaders of our
country should c' consider.
Reagan has hit hard at Ameri-
ca's foreign po] .icy which seems to
be that we have assumed the
position of is( (lationists and could
care less what ; happens in the rest of
the world. RE Jagan didn't say this in
so^many wor Ads, but he said it in his
allegations that the United States
ha placed too much faith in the
so-called detente agreement with
the Russi ans.
:Dete' ate, along with our folding
up: our t ent and coming home from
Virtnar a seems to have given the
Rtissia ns an engraved invitation to
walk into any small undeveloped
natio' i in the world they wish with no
threr. 't from the United States.
Our failure to mount an offen-
siv' e in Vietnam, even our gathering
up. our toys and coming home gave
tl- 'iat unfortunate nation to the Com-.


munists, backed principally by the
Russians.
Earlier this year, we handed the
Russians and their poor cousins, the
Cubans, the unfortunate nation of
Angola and its wealth of natural
resources.
Early this month, the Russian-
backed mini-nation of Mozambique
gathered its army on the borders of
Rhodesia and now threatens to
overrun that small nation with a
standing army of 10,000.
Already our vital chromium ore
supply comes from Rhodesia, after
being bought by Russia and a
"reasonable profit" added thereto.
If a Russian-backed nation takes
over Rhodesia, there will be no
reason for the Russians to sell us the
.chromium ore since we couldn't then
.; buy it directly from. Rhodesia
Ronald Reagan rnmay not be
elected: he may not even make it all
the way through the primaries, since
he has yet to win one (unless he won
Florida Tuesday), but what he says
makes sense and should be taken
into consideration in our future
plans.


After nearly three months of
inactivity, we see where our com-
mittee here in Port St. Joe is getting
back to work on a new library for the
city. Port St. Joe has had a donor
pledge a substantial sum of money
for the building of the library if the
county will come up with the other
arrangements. A committee was
named to work out the details and
they got. right to work. With the
holidays, their work was halted and
they are now getting back to work.
We hesitate to rush someone
who is donating their time and effort
ih such public endeavors. Those who


will do such work are so few and
hard to find. We do sincerely hope
the committee makes such headway
in the next few weeks that visible
work may soon get started on a new
library. By visible work, we mean
things like plans being drawn,
property prepared, bids let, etc.
We think it would be a fine
gesture in this Bicentennial year if
our community could at least break
ground on a new library building on
July 4, our nation's birthday.
What better way could we
celebrate the birthday of our nation
than providing a center to perpetu-
ate one of its basic freedoms?


I Letters. to the Editor


Dear Mr. Ramsey,
1I would like to thank the
citizens of Port St. Joe for so
generously supporting the 1976
Girl Scout Cookie Sale. Every
person who bought a box of
cookies was expressing his be-
lief in the value of the Girl
Scout program as well as in-
dulging his sweet tooth.
: Girl Scouts around the Apa-
lachcee Bend Council sold
sme 100,000 boxes of cookies
this'year. Many girls who sold
200 or more boxes of cookies
are entitled to a week of sum-
mer camp, fee paid. All girls
wlio sold at least 36 boxes of
cookies will receive a cookie
palch.
Profits earned by the Coun-
ciI will go directly toward out-
door program. A Camp For
All Seasons on Lake Talquin
and Camp Eleanor on St. An-
drews Bay are maintained
with cookie money. The camp-
ing equipment the girls use for


their troop camping is paid for
with cookie money. Cookies do
mean camping for the 4,500
girls in the Council.
Again, may I express my
heartfelt thanks for all the
support people who bought
Girl Scout cookies this year.


Our girls will benefit immea-
surably from the funds gene-
rated by this sale.

Sincerely.
Mrs. Willia~p C. Smith,
President. The Girl Scout
Council of The Apalachee

Select Proper Time to Burn


With thousands of acres of
Florida's forests and grass-
lands now facing wildfire
threats, residents should use
caution in'outdoor burning.
A cold winter with heavy
frosts has left grasses and
underbrush tinderbox dry-
and ripe for wildfires which
often spark major forest fires.
What can be done to reduce
the dangers of fire? The Flor-
ida Division of Forestry, De-
partment of Agriculture and
Consumer Services, points out
the first and most important
thing is to be careful in burn-
ing.
-Don't leave a brush pile to
burn unattended.
-Put cigarettes out, don't
just throw them away.
-Landowners should consi-
der in burning their woodland
to reduce the fire hazard.
If controlled burning must
be done, landowners should be
sure to have enough men and
equipment on hand to keep the
fire under control and on their
own property.
Florida law requires neigh-
boring landowners must be
notified on burning one to 10
days ahead of time. In addi-
tion, landowners must obtain
permission from the local of-
fice of the Division of Forestry
before burning.
The Division has prepared a
pamphlet, "Using Fire Wise-
ly", which is available to the
landowner outlining how safe,
effective controlled burning
can be used to improve forest
resources.
Landowners can contact
their local forestry unit for
additional advice on pres-
cribed burning and how it best
can be used to suit their parti-
cular woodland needs.
Remember only a few days
in each year are just right for
prescribed burning and land-
owners are advised to wait
until the best conditions possi-
ble before attempting a burn.
For example, one require-
ment is a steady five to 10
miles an hour wind just strong
enough to sway the tree tops.
A stronger breeze may whip
the flames out of control while
a weaker one might let the fire
scorch the tree crowns.
. The ideal burning day will
have a cold steady wind from
the north-usually after a
winter rain-and fuel will be
moist enough to keep the fire's
heat down.
The colder the day, the less
fire damage and don't burn
unless there is a steady wind.


The occupation of a detec-
tive is honorable and a detec-
tive should have deep percep-
tion and a good reading abili-
ty. Why a group of young men
in a pioneer town decided to
take a three-months corre-
spondence course on how to
become a detective is difficult
to resolve by logic.
The detective advertise-
ment read: "Get out of your:
overalls, use your perception
and reading ability 'to catch,
the really big crooks." The
business of getting out of your,
overalls we understood and
could unfasten the galluses
without help, but the depth of
our perception was shallow
and our reading ability was
slow and difficult.
Our perception: on a cloudy
day a few drops of rain in, the
face allowed us to perceive
that it was going to rain, but
we were never sure. Our read-
ing ability depended upon
many things. One member of

It's interesting to read some of the
comments by the Presidential. hopefuls which
cover the face of our land like the crab grass
these days.
I was reading some of the statements of
Georgian Jimmy Carter the other day where he
was commenting on his failure to best Scoop
Jackson in the Massachusetts primaries. Carter
made a statement to the effect that he thought
Jackson made such a good showing because he
was more cognizant of just how important the
bussing issue was to the people of Massachu-
setts. Carter said he wasn't aware they felt so
strongly about the matter.
If Jimmy Carter is to stand a chance of
becoming the first true southerner to sit in the
White House, it would seem'rto me that he had-
better cock at least one of his ears to what the
people are saying. They're displeased about a lot
of things: bussing is just one of them.
Carter has been catching it from the national
TV networks. They picture him as a dictator sort
who does what he wants regardless of what his


the class said that he could red
enough to tell the time of day,
if the face of the clock was
large and marked with plain
American numbers, instead of
Roman numerals. He also
claimed that it helped if he
was allowed to point one
finger at the clock's hour
hand, while he figured where
the minute hand pointed.

After finishing the last in-
stallment of the course, which
was a lesson on, "How to pre-
sent your detective creden-
tials to anyone of the land," a
letter was received stating
that the school had a few


pewter and a limited number
of silver detective badges for
sale, with a quote that the
silver ones were best, because
a sophisticated international
crook would thumb his nose at
anything less than a silver
badge in a leather case.
The pretty little detective
diploma arrived and was fold-
ed neatly into our empty poc-
ketbooks to become the first
physical token of many more
frustrated dreams down the
wondrous ego journey side of
life-the impossible egos that
seem to give beauty and light
within the often recurring
darkness of life's reality.


To Help Residents

Find State Positions


A representative of a new
program to aid residents of
rural areas find jobs in State
Government will be in Port St.
Joe on March 10 and 11 to take
applications.
Ann Esner, a rural equal
opportunity specialist for the
Florida Department of Com-
merce's Rural Equal Oppor-
tunity Program, will be at the
Employment Service office on
Long Avenue. The Employ-
ment Service office is located
in the mobile home next to the
Gulf County Health Clinic on
Long Avenue.
Ms. Esner will be at the
office March 10 from 10 a.m.
to two p.m., and March 11,
from 9:30 a.m. till one p.m. to
answer questions and take ap-
plications for State employ-
ment.


REL, a program funded
under the Comprehensive Ed-
ucation and Training Act
(CETA) was established to
ensure that job applicants
from rural counties receive
equal treatment in State hir-
ing with urban applicants. The
program is set up in 12 North
Florida counties, including
Gulf, Franklin, Wakulla,
Liberty, Jackson, Calhoun,
Holmes, Walton, Gadsden,
Jefferson, Madison and Wash-
ington.

"We can't guarantee anyone
a job," says Program Direc-
tor Wayne R. Malaney. "We
can guarantee that applicants
will receive equal considera-
tion with those 'from other
areas. The State of Florida is
an equal opportunity employ-
er."


constituents wish. They also show him as saying
one thing in one state and changing his mind or
saying the opposite in another. I don't know
whether Carter is this type of man or not. I do
know the networks are good at this sort of
tactic.


One hardly ever hears of a case of smallpox,
diptheria, polio, scarlet fever or any of the other
dreaded diseases of the past any more. History is
full of the feared epidemics of the plague and
other killers of thousands of people.
Here in Port St. Joe, we have two epidemics
raging at this time, which science has not
seemed to be able to curb. The flu has hit a large
portion of our people and the kids are currently
going through a rage of chicken pox. Hardly a
family has escaped the flu these past few weeks
and the chicken pox is running through the
children like a dose of castor oil.
Both are more or less "nuisance" diseases,
but they account for a lot of lost days about this.
time of the year.


I had never been to south Florida during
"the season" before. Last week end, I took a trip
to Tampa, via one of those National Airlines 727
taxis for a couple of days at the Florida League
of Cities meeting and found out what they mean
by "seasonal" prices.

We were there with Mayor Frank Pate and
Clerk Charkes Brock, but didn't stay long. None
of us were that flush.
A hotel room was $30.00 a day and up and a
steak in the restaurant didn't leave much out of a
$10.00 bill. Even the hamburger we had for lunch
Monday was $2.75. That's a little too rich for my
blood.
Even so, the place was crowded with
tourists. I don't see how they afford it. I know I'm
not going to work hard all year for what little bit
of money I make and take it down there and give
it away like that unless it's a matter of necessity.
We all left Tuesday morning just as soon as
we could get away.

We received quite a bit of comment about
our picture and article on the "Burr-heads" a
couple of weeks ago. The word I get now is that
there are about 50 boys in the Elementary School
with the butch haircuts.
When we printed the article, our information
was that Frankie Williams Was the first brave
soul to flaunt tradition and get a short haircut.
Since that time, more accurate information has
been furnished us that the first to get sheared of
his long locks was Danny McDermott.
The way things have been going since Danny
followed the example of his sixth grade teacher,
Bill Barlow, I'm predicting that the boys in the
sixth grade are setting a new nation-wide hair
style trend. Just you wait: about six to 12 months
from now, when all the boys are wearing their
hair cut short, all over the nation, you can
proudly say, it started in Port St. Joe.
Short hair will be our claim to fame.


A letter from Senator Dick Stone's office this
week had a short paragraph about Daylight
Saving Time. Stone's letter said Daylight Saving
Time begins Sunday morning at 2:00 A.M. Get
ready to turn those clocks ahead one hour and go
fo bed early Saturday night, or you will be sleepy
all day Sunday.

Investigating Investigation


bills?" Money asked.
Judge Taunton said after
the investigation is complete
and his position clarified, he
will reimburse the county for
the phone bills if he is ruled to
have been acting in a private
capacity.
The Judge turned down any
offer of help or information by
members of the Commission
at the meeting stating he was
getting along very well by
himself.
He never said what he was
looking for.and even refused to
say definitely what he sus-
pected. Appearances are that
he is investigating digging of a
ditch by the Mosquito Control
Department which had been
turned down as a drainage
project by the State Pest
Control Department head, J.
A. Mulrennan. The County, at
the time, hired the Mosquito
Control equipment and men to
do the job at county expense,
which was perfectly legal.
The whole problem seems to
be that the county may not
have paid the Mosquito Con-
trol some $1,600 for the work.
County finance Officer said
the question was moot since
the Mosquito Control returned
$5,000 in un-used county funds
that year. "It's just a matter
of whether they returned $5,-
000 or $6,600", Gates said.
That little problem contin-
ues to be with us until Judge
Taunton decides his "inves-
tigation" is complete.
OTHER BUSINESS
In other business, the Com-
mission:
-Was notified by C. E.
Daniell that the Mosquito
Control budget was getting


short due to extra work put on
his department. He asked for
and received permission to
reduce digging on the Wash-
ington Branch drainage pro-
ject from five to four days a
week to conserve money.
-Discussed increasing poll
holders salaries which now
stand at $2.00 per hour. While
they were sympathetic with
the request, the money wasn't


in the budget this year and
Clerk George Core said it was
too tight to get the money from'
other sources.
-Paid their annual dues of
$1,167.67 to Northwest Florida
Planning and Development
Council.
-Instructed supervisors not
to order supplies with billing
to be done in the following
year.


Union Calls Meeting


repair the bleachers but City
Street Superintendent Dorton
Hadden reported the structure
was beyond repair.
Tuesday night, the Commis-
sion decided to install a steel
frame bleacher section at the
ball park with a steel shed
overhead. The bleachers
would have wooden seats in-
stalled. The cost of the project
is expected to run $16,315.00.
Some good news was on tap
for the Commission. Clerk
Charles Brock said the City
had been refunded $13,652.00
on its Fire and Extended
Coverage insurance premium
paid recently. The City had
paid an estimated premium of
$20,884.00 and the premium
has since been established at
$7,232.00. This was a welcome
surprise in an era of sky-
rocketing insurance costs.
OTHER ITEMS
Other of items of business
before the Board included:
-Receipt of a letter from
the U.S. Environmental Pro-
tection Agency giving its ap-
proval to the city's water


supply.

Historical Society Now Planning Activities


for Bicentennial Year Celebration


The St. Joseph Historical
Society was off to a good start
in its first meeting of the new
year, held March 6, in the
City's new fire station, where
future meetings will be held
until the society can make ar-
rangements for a permanent
home.
In the chair was the new
president, Mrs. Ralph Swatts,
Sr., and others in attendance
were Wayne Childers, Mrs.
Charles Browne, Mrs. Ber-
nard Pridgeon, Sr., Mrs.


James McNeill. Mrs. R. H.
Brinson. Mrs. Nobie Stone,
Mrs. George Suber, Mrs. John
Robert Smith, Miss Netta Ni-
black and Jesse Stone. junior
past president.
The meeting opened with
prayer by Mrs. Pridgeon and
was followed by the pledge of
allegiance to the flag, led by
Mrs. McNeill, who will also be
supplying "bits of history" at
each meeting throughout the
year. The society will be in-
volved in Bicentennial pro-


jects during the year, under
the leadership of Mrs. Mc-
Neill.
Mrs. Swatts presented to the
society an original cover of a
copy of the earliest edition of
"The Great Tide", a gift of
Mrs. Walter Cassel of St.
George's Island. The cover
was from Mrs. Cassel's per-
sonal copy of the book. Each
member was given a copy of
-"The Romance is Legend", a
story of Torreya State Park
written by George Atkins of


Blountstown, and an early
map of Calhoun County, list-
ing families who were promi-
nent in the history of the
county. These materials were
used by Mr. Atkins at the
annual dinner meeting in Feb-
ruary when he was guest
speaker.
Members also received
copies of the original by-laws
of the society, courtesy of Mrs.
Brinson. Revision of the by-
laws is one of the early pro-
jects for the new year. Mrs..
Nobie Stone is heading this
project.
The society will try to locate
all missing minutes and make
copies of the original minutes
of the early years for perma-
nent filing, and is asking that
anyone, past secretary, past
president, or member (past or
present) having any of these
minutes to turn them in to
Mrs. Charles Browne or to
Mrs. Ralph Swatts, Sr. The
society will be most grateful.


The society will display the
painting, "The Old Salt-
works", by Jonnia Sykes, in'
the lobby of Florida First
National Bank. The display
case, donated by Mrs. H. S.
Lilius, will be placed in the
City Hall, so that the public
might enjoy them.
Possible projects for 1976 in-
clude: Locating and listing all
the old cemeteries in Gulf and
Calhoun counties and listing
all the tombstones for perma-
nent record; placing markers
at the sites of the other old
cemeteries in the Port St. Joe
area; restoration of the old-
saltworks; securing lola land
for a park project. The group
may also revive the diving
project, which had been well
under way, but had to be
dropped because of the direc-
tor's health. Another effort
will be made to secure the
original copy of the first state
Constitution for the local
museum.

her it is in the north, central or
south will need power raking.
This process requires spec-
ialized equipment. It also re-
quires a lot of work. After the
lawn has been power raked do
not let the garbage man haul
off the material removed. Use
it to your advantage and make
a compost pile. In most areas
of Florida the compost will be
most welcomed when planting
trees, shrubs or flowers.
After power raking most
lawn specialists will apply an
application of a pre-emer-
gence herbicide. This will pre-
vent summer weeds from tak-
ing over since the lawn will be
a little thin. You will need to
give the established grass
all of the advantages avail-
able.
Power raking Bahia stimu-
lates growth. Once the grass
begins to grow you may want
to apply an application of fer-
tilizer.
St. Augustine will resume
growth more quickly than the
Bahia. This is not the time to
remove excessive thatch.
Wait until the grass begins to
grow vigorously.
A big problem that you may
encounter on all types of
grasses at this time is heavy
infections of fungus. The
warm days and the cool nights
with heavy dew are ideal for
fungus invasion. The most
common disease encountered,
particularly in St. Augustine;
is brown patch. Learn to re-
cognize this disease immedi-
ately says FNGA before it
completely engulfs the lawn.
Brown patch is indigenous
to most of the soils in Florida.
It begins feeding on the lower

and complete deterioration of
the leaf. The disease generally
works in a circle. At first,
brownpatch is difficult to re-
cognize. Once the circle ap-
pears then the disease is well
on its way. There may be
some green grass within the
area of the circle. The outside
circle will be a cocoa-brown
color and this is the area of
greatest activity. Use one of
the recommended fungicides
according to directions for

BOSTON IS WON FOR THE COLONIES


March 17, 1776...
The important harbor city of Boston, held by
British troops under Gen. Howe, was put to
siege with heavy cannonade fire from Gen.
Henry Knox's 2,000 man artillery force. Heavy
rains and continuing fierce attack forced
Howe to gather his men and evacuate Boston,
a decisive victory for the colonists.

The Board of County Com-
missioners met on January 28

uation of the meeting of
January 27, which was re-
cessed until 5:00 p.m. Jan. 28.
The following members were
present: Chairman Eldridge
Money; Otis Davis, Jr.; Ever-
ett Owens, Jr. and Silas
Player. Also present were
Clerk George Y. Core, Fi-
nance Officer Jerry Gates,
Deputy Sheriff Jimmy Wil-
liams, Attorney Fred Witten,
and Mosquito Control Super-
visor Emmette Daniell.
Comm. Davis opened the
meeting with prayer and led
the pledge of allegiance to the
flag.
Troy Gay appeared before
the Board to request the Board
change. its alcoholic beverage
ordinance regulating package
sales of beer. He said that the
1,000 feet limitation from a
church or school would not
allow anyone in Highland.
View to get a license and he
wishes to sell package beer at
the Temko Station. Comm.
Owens moved the Board table
the discussion until Feb. 10.
Comm. Davis seconded the
motion and it passed unani-
mously.
Jimmy Burke appeared be-
fore the Board to discuss
drainage problems near his
property. The Board agreed to
have Emmette Daniell shoot
the grade to see how much the
drainage pipes could be lower-
oed.
' The Road Superintendent
reported that Willie F. Bass
would like clarification on the
Board's vacation policy. The
Board replied that he would
qualify for one week's vaca-
lion after one year of continu-
ous employment.
The Clerk presented the
changes made in the employee
handbook at the work session.
After discussion and correc-
tion, Comm. Owens moved the
handbook be amended to in-
clude the following. Comm.
Davis seconded the motion
q#4tpanssed-uranimously --i
R The additions, corrections
and deletions made in the
handbook are on file in Clerk's
office.
The Board received a letter
from the Department of
transportation concerning
wayside parks at West Arm
Creek and White City. The
Board agreed to study this
patter further.
Comm. Player reported that


he and the Clerk had attended
a meeting of federal officials
in Bonifay on January 23. He
said that HUD officials had
reported no money for new
construction which could hin-
der the application made
through HUD for Oak Grove
Water and Sewer. He said the
FHA reported that the option
for the Oak Grove water and
sewer was still available pro-
vided the residents could af-
ford the user fees. Comm.
Money reported that Mr. Bar-
rett, Department of Commun-
ity Affairs, had reported to
him that the Oak Grove-HUD
application looked real good,
but they needed more infor-
mation concerning the econo-
mic status and minority hous-
ing in Oak Grove.
Upon motion by Comm.
Player, second by Comm.
Davis, and unanimous vote,
the Board approved payment
of dues in the Florida Asso-
ciation of Emergency Medical
Technicians, Inc. for 12 EMTs
in Port St. Joe and 18 EMTs in
Wewahitchka.
Dick Lamberson reported
that the consensus of the 911
Communicatoins Committee
had been to use the call relay
system as it would be the most
economical. He requested that
the Board write Allen A. Eh-
lert, Dept. of General Ser-
vices, of this decision so that
the Board might be included in
the state plan for 911. The
Board discussed this matter
and informed Mr. Lamberson
that they would rather be left
out of this plan as Gulf County
just did not have the money
nor the need for this plan and
would notify Mr. Ehlert of this
matter. Mr. Lamberson
agreed and told the Board his
Committee had acted in the
face of state law and persis-
tent phone calls from Mr.
Ehlert. Mr. Lamberson then
requested the Board notify
Mr. Ehlert that he was no
longer chairman of the 911
Committee, that the commit-
tee had been disbanded and
.any other.correspondence cons-.
cerning this matter should be
directed to the Board. In line
with this matter, Comm. Play-
er moved Resolution 76-2 be
adopted. Comm. Davis
seconded the motion and it
passed unanimously.
The Resolution requested
that State government assist
local governments in imple-
menting the 911 Emergency
Telephone systems, since the
state had mandated its im-
plementation. but not pro-
vided for its funding. Copy of
said resolution is on file in the
Clerk's office.
Comm. Owens asked Mr.
Lamberson the status of the
new ambulance. Mr. Lamber-
son replied that the Board
should receive a check shortly
for the state's share of the cost
of the ambulance and that he

is presently able to hold the

Mr. Lamberson then pre-

What is the price of vic-
tory? Now, there is an
age-old question for us to
ponder.
It is said that Robert
Louis Stevenson became
a master of Ehglish by
writing some of his pieces
nine times over. The man-
uscript pages of Tenny-
son's poems sometimes
have 50 corrections on a
single sheet. Goethe took
a lifetime to write
"Faust" and half a life-
time to write Wilhelm
Meister.
To be aware of the ef-
forts of these men in
achieving their greatness
teaches us one thing-
everything has a price on
it,
Without patience-it
can't be accomplished.
The life that spurns effort
is without results and ac-
complishments. In other
words-if you will pay the
price you may have it.
The skillful surgeon be-
came so because he paid
the price of preparation.
The artist paints because
he painfully learned
draftmanship .. .on and
on we could go-they all
:paid the price.

REMEMBER: "Victory
is never won by the slug-

Outlines New


Tag Laws


Tax Collector Harland
Pridgeon told the Rotary Club
Thursday that important
changes have been made in
the license tag laws which
become effective this year.
One of the most important
changes is that all boats
require registration now, re-
gardless of the size motor used
for power. "If it is propelled
by machinery it must be
registered", Pridgeon said.
Another important change
is that beginning this year, the
state is initiating a new pro-
gram for tag purchases. Now,
license tags, like drivers' li-
censes, will be issued in the
owner's birth month. This first
year will be a little confusing
in that some people will be
required to buy 18 month tags,
while others will be able to
purchase six month tags. It all
depends upon what month a
person's birth falls in.
The new tags will be sold in
moved the Board hire extra
help in the Road Department
for 30 days to fix the bridge
using approved Federal funds
received as a result of .the July
floods. Comm. Owens second-
ed the motion and it passed
unanimously.
Chairman Money told the
Board that the Mayor of
Wewahitchka has completed
the necessary work to present
the streets in Red Bull Island
to the Board. He also remind-
ed the Board to be ready to
discuss the five-year second-
ary road program at the
meeting of February 10.
Comm. Davis requested the
Mosquito Control Superinten-
dent run a cost factor on con-
tracting the ditch work at But-
ler Bay. Comm. Davis said the
Board had several projects
that needed to be completed
as soon as possible before
rainy weather set in. The
Board directed Emmette
Daniell to run this cost analy-
sis.
Comm. Davis said the old
WPA ditches on the Kemp
Cemetery Road need cleaning
before the road is paved.
Comm. Davis said a culvert
on the Rowell Fish camp road
is stopped up and David Gas-
kin is willing to allow the
Board to drain across his pro-
perty into a pond to alleviate
the problem.


July. Thus, if a person is born
in October, he must purchase
a 16 month tag.
Pridgeonsaid the Associa-
tion of County Tax Collectors
are now making an effort to
simplify the tag classifica-
tions. "We now have 56 differ-
ent series of tags", he said,
"and we believe it would be
much simpler to have only
four classifications."
Another new requirement
for automobile ownership is
that the owner must have the
license tag registration slip in
the vehicle at all times. "Don't
put your title in the car",
Pridgeon cautioned. "You
need only a copy of your tag
registration".
While he was talking about
licensing, Pridgeon threw in a,
tidbit of information, saying
his office had sold 18,005
hunting and fishing licenses
and 329 business licenses dur-
ing the past year. This proves
Gulf Countians had rather fish
and hunt than conduct busi-
ness.

ettes Karen Gosnell and Kar-

"Tax Facts"
By GERALD A. LEWIS
Comptroller of Florida


It is some consolation to know what your taxes are all:
about.
For that very reason, the Comptroller's Office publishes an:
annual "Taxpayer's Almanac," a 10-page brochure which:
explains each of the 21 taxes levied by the State of Florida.;
It's a particularly handy reference for new residents of the.
state.
The "Almanac" explains, the rates levied as well as the:
history and purpose of each tax. This includes such items as
state sales tax, tobacco and alcoholic beverage taxes, cor-
porate income taxes, auto license fees and more than a dozen
other taxes which you might not even know you are paying.:
The "Almanac" is recommended reading for all Floridians
and for banks and financial institutions who frequently deal:
with new residents who have questions about the tax:
structure of their new home state.
Twenty copies or less are available free of charge upon:
request. There is a charge of six cents per copy for orders in
excess of 20 to cover the cost of preparing and printing the-
Almanac. (AFNS)

home and the Dalkeith Baptist
Church. Simpson lives near
what is described as the
Butler Bay area, which has
been a problem of the Board
for years.
That was the way it went.
Too much water in too short a
time with nothing but a flat
table for it to lie .on spells
problems. In each case, the
County Board said they would
do what they could to alleviate
the problem. In fact, their
Road Superintendent, Lloyd
Whitfield was not at the

was out working on water
problems.

GARC

Issues

Invitation
It has been discovered that
many citizens are not aware of
the existence of the Gulf
Association for Retarded Citi-
zens (GARC) and the Activity
Center for retarded citizens.
Neither do some understand
what the organization and
center is all about or the main
cause for which it is in opera-
tion.
Therefore, the GARC and
the staff of the Activity Center
extends an invitation to all the
citizens of Port St. Joe to
attend its next meeting so that
they can become more in-
formed about the plight of the
GARC.
The next GARC meeting will
be held April 1, at 7:00 p.m. at
the Activity Center in North
Port St. Joe. 113 Main St., next
door to the American Legion
Hall.

completed his section and the
two reported the people of Oak
Grove are almost unanimous
in their approval of a financ-
ing program offered by Far-
mer's Home Administration
two weeks ago for financing
installation of a water and
sewer system in the commun-
ity.
Oak Grove has wanted a'
system for some time, but
population in the area has
made it too expensive. FHA
came up two weeks ago.
offering a grant and loan to
finance the project which


brings it into the reach of the
potential customers.
Even before making their
poll, the County Commission-
ers applied for the grant and
loan to tie the money down,
with the provision they could
cancel the application if the
Oak Grove people turned the
deal down.
At their meeting Tuesday,
the Commission said all indi-
cations that they would give
their final approval .of the
project tomorrow, which is the
deadline set by FHA for filing
the application.

This means it will be only a
matter of months before Oak
Grove will have water and
sewer service. -
In the meantime, much
work has to be done. FHA
wants the City of Port St. Joe
to service, bill, maintain and
provide treated water and
collect sewage from the sys-
tem. This agreement still has
to be worked out. The City has
already taken steps to put
service mains to the edge of
the City Limits where Oak
Grove can tie on at some time
in the future.

blood and it also helps my
uncle who has diabetes.
in school the other day, I
was told that alcohol is not
good for the blood and that
alcohol could. hurt someone
with diabetes. Is this true?

Dear A. F.,
What you heard in school is
correct. There is no scientific
evidence that alcohol is help-
ful for your blood. Alcohol
may make you feel like it is
doing you good, but in reality,
it isn't.
The use of alcohol by a dia-
betic is dangerous. A diabetic
needs insulin to keep their
blood sugar down. The use of
alcohol can interfere with the
insulin doing its job and that


person can go into a diabetic
coma.
Alcohol is a drug that can be
used as a sedative, but there
are other alternatives to alco-
hol which do not interfere with
body functions. Most doctors
who are up-to-date about the
dangers of alcohol, will tell
you that the use of alcohol for
medical reasons is not a good
idea.
Sincerely,
Mr. Norwood

Lawrence Tyree Named





President of Gulf Coast


Dear Mr. Norwood,
I'm not sure, but I think that
my parents are alcoholics.
They party all week-end and
during the week when my
father comes home from
work, the first thing he does is
have a drink. My mom works
part-time and she always hps
a drink or two in the after-
noon. They don't fight too
much when they are drunk but
they usually drink until they
pass out and I have to take
care of my little brother. Do
you think it would be okay for
me to say something to them?
I worry in case something
might go wrong while they're
passed out.
Sincerely,
C. W.
Dear C. W.,
Let me state that an alco-
holic is a person who, when
using alcohol, lets that use
interfere with his family, eco-
nomic, and-or physical well-
being. Also, if a person loses
control over the use of alcohol,
he is considered to be an al-
coholic.
It seems to me that your
parent's drinking is interfer-
ing with your family and phy-
sical well-being. I know that it
would be difficult for you to
tell them directly that they
have a problem, but what you
could do is get help from other
parenA that you know. Maybe
with their help yob can con-
front your parents. Also, it
would be helpful to have the
phone number of a friend you
can call who would be helpful
when your parents drink too
much. Don't try to solve the
problem all alone.
I strongly suggest that you
give the Alcohol Counseling
and Information Center in
your area a call. They are
there to help and they won't
give out your name if you are
afraid of getting into trouble.
Reach out for help, people do
care and would like to help.
Sincerely,
Mr. Norwood

If you have any questions
concerning alcoholism, con-
tact Dexter Norwood at 321
Reid Ave., Port St. Joe, phone
229-3515.

1976 session of the Florida
Legislature will be 1-800-
342-1827, the same as last
session. It will be opera-
tive from March 29 thru
June 18.
The line is available to
all citizens throughout the
state and the widespread
interest in legislative act-
ivities, as shown through
this service, has been
gratifying. It was initi-
ated, on a trial basis,
during the 1972 session
when over 4,000 calls
were received. There
were close to 8,000 calls
on the one line during the
1975 session.
The WATS line is oper-
ated by staff in the Legis-
lative Information Divi-
sion whose primary func-
tion is to record, through
a computer, actions on all
bills, as they occur on the
floor of the House and
Senate. The on-line sys-
tem is current at all
times, and the WATS
operator has a video ter-

Colonel Peter P. Pierce, Jr.,
the State Director of Selective
Service for Florida has an-
nounced the closing of all draft
board offices at the end of
February, 1976.
Colonel Pierce said this is a
result of a drastically reduced
budget recommendation for
the Selective Service System,
and will cause what the
National Director, Byron V.
Pepitone, recently termed "a
dramatically altered struc-
ture" of the agency.
In Florida, 52 employees
were terminated on February
28, and another 3 will be termi-
nated on May 8. Throughout
the entire Selective Service
System, 1,400 employees will
leave the agency in February
and another 200 in May. By the
end of fiscal year 1977, the
entire agency will employ only
approximately 100 people.
This reduction in the work
force of the draft agency made
necessary the termination of
all registrant processing on
January 27. State Director
Pierce said: "This means
