Spring!


It's definitely springtime here on the
shores of St. Joseph Bay in the Panhandle of
Florida, in spite of the cool snap which swept
through the area Tuesday night.
Spring means different things to different
things. The azaleas, flowering crabapples,
Japanese Magnolia and Redbuds are all in
full bloom.
To man, spring has the effect shown in the
photo, left. This man, who was part of a
crew building a house here in Port St. Joe,
decided to use his dinner hour to catch a nap
in the warm sunshine while reclining on the
roof of his labors. He has the spring fever.
In the photo, right, the insect world has
an entirely contrasting use for spring. The
bumble bee is busily at work extracting
nectar from a flowering crabapple tree, doing
his thing in the spring. Star photos

Oak Grove Water, Sewer



May Cost Slightly More


It appears as if the county
will guarantee payments or
the people of Oak Grove will
have to pay a slightly higher
base utility bill to get water
and sewer services, following
a survey of the area by the
County Commission during
the past two weeks.
At a .recent appearance
before the Gulf County Com-
mission, Eugene Pittman,
area representative for Far-
mer's Home Administration,
said the people of Oak Grove
would be faced with a mini-
mum bill of about $10.50 per
month. Pittman's estimate
was based on a system of 170
customers.
Sinde the survey has been
made by the Commissioners,
it was found that only 140 to
150 potential customers live in
the area. Since about half of
the estimated minimum bill
was for debt service, the
reduction in potential custo-


mers would mean a slightly
higher debt service amount
for each customer served.
Attorney William J. Rish,
who has been dealing with
Farmer's Home said he has
been told by the Federal
agency that they will require
assurance by the county that
revenue will be provided for,
payment of the loan against
the system whether it is from
taxes or increased debt ser-
vice payments by each of the
existing potential customers.
Rish said he felt the larger
amount would apply for only a
short time. "I know of several
homes which will be built in
the area in a short period of
time if water and sewer is
available", Rish said.
In the meantime, the ser-
vice expects to purchase treat-
ed water from the City of Port
St. Joe and transport its
sewage to theCity's treatment
plant for handling.


Winding Down

Work is winding down on a project underway in the City
to improve the sewage collection system. In the photo below
a project enlarging and improving one of the lift stations, this
one located at the corner of Long Avenue and 16th Street, is
rapidly nearing completion. Sheet piling has been driven
into the ground and the hole dug to set the lift station,
shown behind the hole. A decorative cover will be placed over
the installation to give the site an aesthetic appearance for
the residential area surrounding the installation. Star Photo


Tuesday night, the City
Commission studied several
various options for providing
the services to the commun-

Library

Progresses

The Library Committee be-
came active again last Thurs-
day night, and has since
accomplished more than has
been accomplished since the
committee was formed last
December.
The committee is in the
process of making plans to
build a new library building
here in Port St. Joe to take
advantage of a substantial
donation pledged by a local
person toward its construc-
tion.
At the meeting Tuesday,
committee chairman Eldridge
Money stepped down due to
pressing duties elsewhere in
his role as County Commis-
sioner and named Bill Sim-
mons as his successor.
In the past week, the com-
mittee has explored possible
sources of federal matching
funds and have already made
application for the govern-
ment money and have begun a
diligent search for property on
which to construct the build-
ing.


Four-Year Term Proposed




for City Commissioners


Voters of Port St. Joe will
decide, at the next municipal
election, on the question of
expanding the terms of City
Commissioners from the pres-
ent two year terms to a four
year tenure in office.
Mayor Frank Pate suggest-
ed to the Board Tuesday night,
that the Commission initiate
action to make the change in
city government.


Pate said, "It isn't fair to
the man who is trying to serve
the City to limit his term to
only two years. At the end of
his term, he is just beginning
to learn how the City operates
and become effective in his
post when he must face re-
election. A man can't show the
people what is capable of
doing in our city government
in just two years", Pate said.


Beautification of Fifth


Street Median Moves

A project of the Port St. Joe Kiwanis Club gained
more headway last week, with the installation of plants
and shrubs in the median of Fifth Street.
Last year, the Kiwanis Club undertook the project
of prodding the City Commission into installing a
sprinkler system in the median, then they purchased
the shrubs and helped set them out in the area. The
Club plans to extend their beautification program all
the way to the Gulf County Courthouse.
Last year, the median was planted from Monu-
ment to Woodward Avenues in the first phase of the
project. Last week, the Club purchased and helped
plant the area from Woodward to east of Garrison
Avenue.
As soon as the sprinkler system is extended for the
remainder of the median, it will be planted also.
The Kiwanis Club is spending a little over $1,000 for
plants and shrubs to carry out their project.


If the people approve the
longer term of office, none of
the present commissioners
will be affected in their pres-
ent terms, more than likely.
All will probably have to stand
for re-election at the end of
two years and'seek a four year
term. In order to make the
change, the City Charter will
have to be changed by a vote
of the people and approval by
the Florida Lesiglature.
Representative William J.
Rish will be asked to pose the
question to the Legislature in
the session beginning next
month and the question will be
on the city election ballot in
May of this year.
Commissioner Gerald Sulli-
van suggested the Commis-
sion should also take a look at
the $25.00 per month salary of


the Commissioners, with a
raise in pay to be considered.
Commissioner Tom Colde-
wey opposed the raise in pay.
"As it is now, we get good men
to serve who are seeking
election to serve the people
rather than having a race for
the salary which comes with
the job".
Coldewey's thinking, was
sustained by the Commission.
NEW EQUIPMENT BARN
The Commission started the
procedure Tuesday night to
construct its new equipment
depot building on a 17 acre plot
purchased recently near the
Florida Power Corporation
sub-station.
The City has decided to use
the same plans used in con-
struction of the county's mos-
quito control building with


some modifications.
Tuesday the Board decided
to employ architect Charles
Arthur Gaskin of Wewahitch-
ka to make the changes.
Gaskin designed the original
building.
POSTING MACHINE
Representatives from Na-
tional Cash Register company
presented a sales pitch to the
Board Tuesday night, to sell
the City a new posting ma-
chine. The representatives,
Charles Smith and Ron Dix
suggested a machine which
would do the city bookeeping
chores, figure and make out
utility bills, make payroll
checks and do various other
chores now done by hand.
Clerk Charles Brock has
approached the Commission

Two Expensive Watches


Taken from Jewelry Store


Two men are suspected of
robbing Thames Jewelry of
two expensive watches Tues-
day afternoon, according to
Gulf County Sheriff Raymond
Lawrence.
Mrs. Albert Thames, opera-
tor of the store, said two
expensive digital watches
were found missing Tuesday
afternoon, following a routine
visit by a customer.
Sheriff Lawrence said two
black men came into the store
during the afternoon; one
having a watch he wanted
repaired. The clerk, Mrs.
Lloyd Rudd, went to the rear
of the store with the one man


while the other stayed at the
front.
After the men left, Mrs.
Rudd told the watchmaker at
the store, in casual conversa-
tion that her watch wasn't
keeping good time. The watch-
maker went to the front of the
store to get one of the digital
time-pieces they sometimes
used to check other watches
by and discovered two of them
were gone.
The Sheriff's office and
Police Department were then
called on the scene to investi-
gate the suspected theft.
Then came the suspicious
part.


Sheriff Lawrence decided to
trace the two male customers
who had left the store shortly
before and lifted the name off
the watch repair card. On
investigation, the man who
owns the name on the card
was found to be in Wewahitch-
ka working for the county road
department. His foreman said
he was at the road department
shop working at the time of.the
suspected robbery.
Working with vague des-
criptions, the Sheriff's De-
partment and Port St. Joe
Police are now in the process
of trying to track down the two
customers for questioning.

EDITORIALS:




Nation Seems to be


Thinking Conservative


Looking at the results of the
Presidential Primaries thus far, it
appears as if the nation it swinging
,to a more conservative attitude.
Of course, Florida has always
been moderate to conservative on a
national scale and Gulf County can
be counted on to cast its conserva-
.tive vote. We believe in fiscal
responsibility and as little interfer-
ance as possible from the central
government.
When we get down to the local
government, however, that's a horse
'of a different color.
When it comes to our local
government and what it can do for
us, we're just as liberal as the next
Yankee. Attending most all the
government meetings in the county,
we are amazed at just how often
people come to the government
asking that something be done for
them things they could just as
easily do for themselves.


As a county, we demand our
federal subsidies, our hand-outs and
our gifts from big daddy govern-
ment and all the while we are giving
him the devil and demanding a
change in federal government's
insistence on going deeper and
deeper into debt to furnish us with
this pocket money.
This past week the Democratic
majority in Congress insisted Presi-
dent Ford wasn't trying to go far
enough into debt with his new budget
year. They felt the deficit ought to be
higher.
'In these parts, Mr. Ford will
gain points if he holds the debt down
and the Democrats will gain the ire
of the average North Floridian.
We will all be in line asking for
our federal hand-outs, financed
through deficit spending.
We may be conservative, but
our record shows we are inconsis-
tant conservatives.


About 99 percent of the time, we
put our own thoughts down here,
with an occasional piece copied
from somewhere else which expres-
ses a thought with which we heartily
agree. This piece is like that. We
didn't write it, but thought you
would like to read it.

"As the United States of Amer-
ica approaches its 200th Birthday a
'Crisis of Confidence' exists due to
constant emphasis on what's wrong.
Here are a few things that are
right."
Professor Walt Seifert, who
teaches journalism at Ohio State
University, has spent a good part of
his career telling about what's right
with America. One of the Seifert's
approaches to telling the good news
is to list a few common charges -
and then refute them. For instance:
C: "Inflation is killing us."
A: "The average American
family is better off now than ever
,before because wages have risen
higher than prices. Inflation is much
worse in Europe."
C: "Unemployment is at intol-
erable levels."
A: "Not true. It's 8.3 percent
today. Many of us remember when it
was over 30 percent in the Depres-
sion, and America came through."
C: "America neglects its old
people."
A: "Twenty years ago they had
slim social security, no medicare or
medicaid, and very few rest or
nursing homes."
C: "We are being taxed to
death."
A: "Our total taxes are far
lower than any country in Europe
today."
C: "American workers get
cheated."


A: "Since 1960 union wages have
risen 50 percent faster than our
national average; 22 percent of our
blue collar workers now make over
$15,000."
C: "Americans can't afford
private homes."
A: "In 1960 we had 33 million
private homes. Today we're over 38
million."
C: "Americans have lost reli-
gious faith."
A: "Between 1950 and 1970 our
church membership rose 46 percent
- more than the rise in population."
C: "Americans are getting fat
and soft."
A: "There are 67 Olympic
events with world records. Ameri-
cans hold 35 of these. Today over 10
million Americans jog or run."


Other Message

The little wire service item out
of Lincoln, Neb., the other day was
designed, no doubt, to counter
attacks on technology as wasteful of
our resources.
A fluorescent lamp today, ac-
cording to the release, produces 100
times more light than one of the
kerosene lamps once commonly
used in American homes.
But, the article went on, the
amount of fuel required to generate
electricity for the fluorescent lamp
is no more than was necessary for
the old-fashioned kerosene variety.
It's not that we're unapprecia-
tive of the benefits of technological
achievement, but, remembering our
recent electric bills, we are more
staggered by the sudden realization
of what must have happened to the
price of a gallon of kerosene.

There's more to getting a
bag of sugar than picking it up
off the shelf at the super
market.
The Port St. Joe Rotary
Club was shown a film on the
manufacturing and process
used in Florida to produce
seven percent of the nation's
refined sugar.
Sugar country in Florida is
around the shores of Lake
Okeechobee near Clewiston,
Belle Glade and Pohokee.
Some 400 square miles of the
lake shore country is planted
in sugar cane each year.
Most of the harvest work is


done with imported labor and
machines. Americans won't
work in the cane fields. Each
year, the cane industry adver-
tises for labor forces to har-
vest the crop with little to no
takers.
The 8,500 imported workers
harvest from 25 to 100 tons of
cane per acre per year. Cane
fields yield up to four harvests
from each planting.
Guests of the club Thursday
were Chuck Peacore of Co-
lumbus, Ga., Ben Krause of
Tallahassee and Wheelettes
Katrina Pippin and Dena El-
lis.


w I SEEDS FROM

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


A little girl asked a man,
"Will you please pick that
flower for me?" He handed
it to her, and after smelling
it, she said, "Now put it
back."
As the flower cannot be
returned to the stem, neither
can a spoken word be re-
turned to the mouth. Once
the word leaves the mouth, it
can never be recalled. Well
should we pray, "Let the
words of my mouth be ac-
ceptable in Thy sight, Oh
Lord"--Psalm 19:14.
Everything that is done
in the world, whether it be
good or bad, is done by the
words of our mouths. If our
words are pleasing to God,
they will be profitable to
man.
What we talk about is a


good barometer of what we
think about. Our Lord said,
"Out of the abundance of the
heart the mouth speaketh."
If a vat of dye is red, every-
thing that is drawn from it
will be red. If a coat is black,
every thread that is pulled
from it is -black. So, if the
meditation of our heart is
wrong, our words and our
ways will be wrong. No won-
der the Psalmist prayed, "Let
the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in Thy sight,
Oh Lord."
When Sir Walter Raleigh
was led to the block, the
executioner asked whether his
head lay right. "It matters
little, my friend," he said,
"how the head lies, provided
the heart be right." Is your
heart right?

Letters

to the


Editor

Dear Mr. Ramsey,
There's no doubt about it,
Gulf County is Wallace coun-
try, but Florida is not.
The basic idea is to let the
people choose. Do the people
choose in a primary when only
36 percent of the eligible
voters cast ballots? There are
so many candidates in the
race that the winner winds up
with the endorsement of a
minority. So it is hard for me
to say what primaries mean.
Sincerely,
Nathan Peters, Jr.


Mr. Rube was in earnest

looked to be a story-book
character. He was the spittin'
image of Kit Stokes except
that he wore faded old jeans
which plainly showed the red
flannels underneath. Winter
or summer that was his garb.
"Well Gib, we'll meet you at
Parker's well in the morn-
ing".
"All right Rube, be there
early."
I knew I was included in the
plans for I went with Mr. Rube
a lot of places and even kissed
his daughter Helen on occa-

We arrived at the flowing
well just after dawn. Just as
we were getting out of my
pickup Mr. Swanson skulled
up in an old bateau and joined


We took Mr. Gib in the truck
with us and he showed me the
right road. In about 10 minutes
he held up his hand and said,
"This is it-the eastern boun-
dary of Tate's Hell."
Tate's Hell. The mere sound
of that name makes the hair
rise. There are many tales
about it not the least of which
is the story of Tate himself
and the hell he had getting
through this evil swamp.
Most of the tales tell of con-
frontation with a big rattler.
One version is that the snake
bit Tate and after four days of
sickness and agonizing pain he
stumbled out of Tate's Hell on
the road to Carrabelle.

ETAOIN SHRDLU

By WESLEY R. RAMSEY


For several years, now, Frenchie and I have
had most of our children married off and they
have presented us with a respectable number of
grandchildren.
They have tried diligently at their task, but,
through inexperience or not trying hard enough,
they have failed to produce any progeny other
than the hard-headed male variety. Out of six
presentations, all were boys.
The boys are all right and we're not
considering sending any of them back or giving
them away. We will keep them all. As boys go,
they are pretty good boys.
Now, after a long wait one of our offspring
has sprung a granddaughter on us. Last Friday
afternoon, Shelly Oliver came up with a six and a


Coffin Builder A

Truly Different

Kind of Man


By CHARLIE WEBB


A truly different kind of man
was found in the coffin builder
of Yellow River Valley during
pioneer days. His show of
emotion was rather taciturn,
but under such stoic qualities


he possessed a warm heart of
generosity and seldom
charged for building a coffin.
For some reason much of
the coffin building was carried
out at night on the deceased's


back porch. Small boys would
consider it a high honor to hold
old kerosene lanterns for the
coffin builder to work by, and
each boy seemed to admire
the quietness, the simplicity
and thorough workmanship of
the old coffin builder.
The coffin builder after nail-
ing a board to the coffin would
step back a few feet and ob-
serve the coffin for a long
time, repeating this operation
after each board was nailed to
the coffin. If there was ever a
man to arrive at perfection
through the physical work of
the wonderful hands, the cof-
fin builder was that kind of
man.
Inside the house, the de-
ceased was being prepared to
be laid out on the cooling
board. This board was often a
door removed from its hinges
in the home and placed over
the back of two cowhide-bot-
tomed chairs. The body was
then placed upon the cooling
board and covered with a
white sheet.
The term cooling board
could have come from the fact
that there were no under-
takers and the body after
being dressed for burial had to
be laid out in a straight posi-
tion on a flat surface, so that
on becoming cold and stiff, the
body would fit down into the
coffin that had not been finish-
ed. Hence came the name
cooling board.
Most all the people of the
valley were profound respec-
tors of death and the entire
community would come by the
home to help the bereaved
family.
The night before burial the
quietness in the home, broken
only by the occasional sound
of the coffin builders' hammer
from the back porch and with
the dim shadows coming and
going from slow burning wood
embers in the stick and mud
chimney fireplace, reflecting
against the sheet-covered
corpse on the cooling board
created a deep sadness, but it
was not a sadness of despair,
as most everyone felt that
death could not be the end, but
perhaps, a beautiful new'be-
ginning.


half pound girl for her nine month effort. That
little girl, being the only one in the grandchild
level of the family, will no doubt be spoiled by
her brothers, cousins, uncles, aunts and possibly
by her grandparents.

Senator Dick Stone's office called me last
Friday and apologized for their paragraph
printed in the newsletter of last week which
stated that the time would change to Daylight
Savings Time last Saturday night. We had to
report it here, since if the time was going to
change, people should know about it and I hadn't
seen it reported anywhere else.
What Senator Stone's news letter failed to
point out was that only the Senate had approved
the March 13 time change. The Senate approved
it, but the House didn't. The news letter didn't
say that.
Senator Stone's representative apologized
for the misunderstanding and said it wouldn't
happen again.
t told him that was all right, the mistake
gave us something exciting to talk about here for
a day or two. It helped us get our money's worth
for our telephone on Thursday and Friday since
it rang off the hook both days with people
wanting to know if the time really did change
Saturday night.
We found out Thursday, officially, that the
time did not change until April, when it changes
on the third Saturday night of the month.
This time, the news is for real. You can say
you first learned about the time change here.

We had another boo-boo last week, too.
We reported on the possible closing of the
Overstreet Post Office on information given out
by a Post Office official.
Thursday, Mrs. Roland Hardy, the Postmis-
tress at Overstreet called to say the figures were
all wrong. She said she didn't make anything like
the salary which the Post Office Department
said she did. She wishes she had, but the salary
amount was an error of the Post Office
Department.
The Department gave out the proper
information, I think, when they said they were
considering closing the Overstreet office.

The cry of "Save your Confederate money
boys, the South will rise again", is becoming
more than a piece of nostalgic dreaming.
According to a column written by Kevin Phillips,
the national columnist last week, the Sunbelt
(Florida across the lower part of the United
States to California) will elect the majority in the
.House of Representatives by 1980. With this
event will come the plurality of electoral votes
and take it away from our Yankee cousins who
have had this distinction since we became a
nation.
Already, according to Phillips, San Antonio
and San Diego have replaced Cleveland and
Washington as the nation's ninth and tenth
largest cities. Phoenix, Arizona will make the
top ten in 1980. The nation's fastest growing area
lies right here in Florida. Orlando and Fort
Meyers hold this distinction with Tucson,
Arizona close behind.
Arizona was the fastest-growing state in the
years of 1970-75 with 25 per cent growth. Florida
was right behind in second place with a growth of
21 per cent over the same period.
Practice your Rebel yell, people, because
the South is getting into the driver's seat in this
nation and it looks as if Florida will be leading
the way.

Spring starts Sunday and the flowers, trees
and bushes in the city are taking on a spring-like
appearance. Spring is a pretty time of year.
Some like fall with its colors, but spring green
and the spring flowers can out-do fall any time,
in my opinion.
The day before Spring is my birthday. I'm
too modest to draw any comparisons there.

family's Easter celebration.
But you could get an awful
bellyache from food that's
gone bad unless you take some
common sense precautions in
preparing food for these occa-
sions.
To help you avoid salmonel-
la and other food-borne ill-
nesses, the U. S. Department
of Agriculture has published
Keeping Food Safe to Eat. You
can get a copy for 30 cents
from Consumer Information
Center, Dept. 1, Pueblo, Colo.
81009.
Here are some ways to keep
food safe:
-Don't let food stand at
room temperature for more
than two hours. This includes
preparation time. So, be care-
ful with the kids' Easter eggs
-refrigerate them after dying
them and don't let them hide
too long. And, if you pack your
lunch, don't pack something
perishable unless you can
keep it refrigerated until you
eat.
-If you've decided to make
some favorite desserts for
Easter, perhaps coconut cus-.
tard pie or eclairs, be careful.
Right after they have cooled


slightly put them in the re-
frigerator. And, if you happen
to take this kind of dessert on
your picnics, make sure it's
packed in a cooler with ice.
Follow these same precau-
tions for salads made with
salad dressings containing
eggs or milk products.
-And, when you're doing
your actual food preparation,
be very careful to thoroughly
clean all dishes, utensils, work
surfaces and your hands with
soap and water after each use.
It's especially important to
clean up between handling
raw food and cooked food.
This prevents the cooked food
from becoming contaminated
with bacteria that may have
been present in the raw food.

Presentation of


Drama Set by


Pentecostals


The family of Jesus of Naza-
reth is the setting for a power-
ful, evangelistic drama which
is to be presented in the Port
St. Joe Pentecostal Holiness
Church on Monday evening,
March 22, at 7:30 p.m. The
church is located on Garrison
Avenue, at the intersection of
20th Street.
The host pastor, Rev. James
L. Gosnell, has invited for this
special service the Emmanuel
Players, a group of 19 young
people from Emmanuel Col-
lege, Franklin Springs, Geor-
gia. Their presentation is one
of three within Florida, one of
the five states in which they
are visiting.
"The Brother" written by
Dorothy Clark Wilson, is an
account of the family relation-
ships in the Nazarene family
of Jesus. The play focuses on
the struggles of the brother,
James, to accept the fact that
his brother could be the Mes-
siah. The presentation climax-

Time, Say Garden Specialists


It is now time once more to
spray your roses and don't
forget to fertilize them at the

Frost damage from earlier
cold weather must be removed

Always select an area for

He was asked by a friend
why he had not made more

"It is true I have not
made much money," he
replied. "but I have made
a lotl of good carts."
It is no wonder that this

Some amaryllis may have

hybridizing, it is advisable to
remove the tall stem on which
the flowers were borne. An
application of a bulb mix on

Easter lilies growing in the

One of the early spring pests
on many ornamentals is the
whitefly. These snow-white
insects lay their eggs on the
underneath side of the leaf.
After a short period of time
the egg hatches and the larvae
begins to feed. The result is a
heavy covering of sooty mold
will develop on the leaves of
ornamental plants. Control
the whitefly, says Florida

freedom of training children
from the parents," wrote an
Edinboro, Pa.. couple.
"Why should Congress pass
such an absurd bill? Aren't
most the Congressmen family
men?" asked a Lincoln, Ark.
couple.
What these and most of the
letters now swamping House
and Senate offices have in
common.is a total misconcep-
tion of the legislation they are
protesting.
The bill which has generated
all the uproar is the proposed
Child and Family Services
Act, sponsored by Mondale
and Rep. John Brademas,
D-Ind. It is a revised version
of legislation approved by
Congress in 1971 but vetoed by
then President Richard M.
Nixon.
Except for the fact that it
does, indeed, deal with social
services for children and their
families, the measure bears
no resemblance whatever to
the catalog of horrors which
produced the mail attack now
inundating Capitol Hill.
Furthermore, the legisla-
tion is going nowhere in the,
current Congress, so the op-
ponents are beating a horse
already dead on its feet:
Although 12 days of joint
House-Senate hearings were
held on the bill last year, Mon-
dale and Brademas both con-
cede that tight budgetary con-
straints virtually preclude
adoption of an expensive new
social program at this time.
What has apparently touch-
ed off the deluge of protest
mail is the wide-spread dis-
tribution, in chain-letter fas-
hion, of anonymous mimeo-
graphed scare literature pur-
porting to describe the con-
tents of the Mondale Brade-
mas bill.
Both the literature and the
resulting mail, began surfac-
ing last fall, and the campaign
has accelerated in recent
weeks. Mondale's office alone
is receiving about 1,600 letters
a week on the child and
family services act, nearly all
of it furiously criticizing non-
existekit provisions of the bill.
Brademas said no one in
Congress has been able to pin-
point responsibility for the in-
flammatory literature most
parents seem to be relying on
as they write to protest the
bill. "We think some of it is
originating in McLean, Va.
and in Washington, but we


can't identify the sponsors.
yet," he said.
The principal document
angry constituents seem to be
accepting as gospel is a two-
page. unsigned mimeograph-
ed flyer entitled. "Raising
Children Government's or
Parent's Right?"
This anonymous circular,
which urges readers to write
to President Ford and their
Coingressmen, asserts the
Mondale-Brademas bill.
"'would take the responsibility
of the parents to raise their
children .and give it to the
government."
Quoting from the Congres-
sional Record, without identi-
fying the source of the
material cited nor the date it
appeared, the flyer claims the
"charter of children's rights
of the National Council on
Civil Liberties" has been
made "a part of" the pending
legislation.
It then proceeds to quote ex-
cerpts from this charter and to
embellish the citations with
explanatory comments.
"All children have the right
to protection from, and com-
pensation for, the conse-
quences of any inadequacies
in their homes and back-
grounds," the flyer quotes the
charter as saying.
"In other words," the liter-
ature explains, "never punish
your child because he may
come back on you with a civil
suit."
Another charter excerpt
reads: "Children have the
right to protection from any
excessive claims made on
them by their parents or
authority."
The circular interprets this
"right" to mean that "if the
mother or father asked the
child to take the garbage out
and the child doesn't want to,
the parents have no right to
insist on it."
"Children have the right to
freedom from religious or
political indoctrination," the
next alleged charter excerpt
states.
S"Thatr meats,s;" the II)er
helpfully explains, "that you
have no right to insist on tak-
ing them to church, if they do
not wish to go. This also
means they have the freedom
to insist that they be taught
nothing, nor any ideas, about
God."
The only difficulty with all
this is that it is a pure fabri-


cation, at least as far as the
actual legislation now before
Congress is concerned.
"It's a complete fraud,"
Mondale said. "None of it is in
our bill, but people think it's
fact. There's so much cynic-
ism and frustration about
government, they're ready to
believe anything."
After extensive research,
backers of the Child and
Family Services Act have
tracted the Congressional Re-
cord quotations cited in the
anonymous scare literature
back to the 1971 Senate debate
on the predecessor legislation
which Nixon vetoed.
The quotations, they have
discovered, were drawn from
extraneous material inserted
into the record by Sen. Carl
Curtis, R-Neb., none of which
had anything to do with the bill
then under consideration-
let alone the existing proposal.
The "Charter of Children's
Rights," which the scare
pamphlet contends has been
incorporated into the Moil-
dale Brademas bill, was
actually the product of a
British organization and has
never received any considera-
tion in this country.
The problem, Brademas
said, is that "once you tell the
big lie, it's very difficult to
correct. I don't mind criticism
of the bill, and I don't mind
opposition-there's plenty of
room for disagreement.
"What I do object to is this


deliberate falsification of the
contents of the legislation,"
Brademas said.
There is plenty of legitimate
opposition to the bill, which
would provide up to $1.8 billion
over the next few years for
day care, maternal and child
health programs, food and
nutritional services and aid
for handicapped children.
The Ford administration,
like the Nixon White House
before it, opposes the legisla-
tion for both fiscal and philo-
sophical reasons.
Party in response to cri-
ticism of the 1971 bill, the
sponsors have stressed paren-,
tal participation and super-
vision in most of the programs
outlined in the current legisla-
tion.
The measure repeatedly '
emphasizes that all services
provided are available on a
purely voluntary basis, and
that the underlying objective
of the bill is to strengthensn
family life," rather than des-
troy it, as critics fear.
"I've got a lot of respect for
the good judgment and
honesty of the American peo-
ple," Mondale said. "This
smear campaign may very
well backfire on those who are
conducting it.
"It may take time, but the
need for child and family ser-
vices legislation has been well
documented. Sooner or later,
we'll succeed in passing it,"
he said.

League

Try-Outs


Monday

All youngsters who are eight
or nine years old and plan to
play Little League ball should
attend tryouts on March 22, 23,
and 24 at the Little League
field.
Try-out sessions will begin
each day at five p.m. In order
to play, youngsters must at-
tend at least two of the ses-
sions.


City

to purchase a new machine.
The present machine is about
20 years old and is constantly
giving trouble. Brock says he
is having trouble finding parts
to repair the present machine.
The Commission will adver-
tise for bids for a new machine
in the near future, to be paid
for out of the depreciation
account.
OTHER BUSINESS
In other items of business,
the Board:
-Acted on a request from
State Employees Union Local
1306 to begin negotiations as
soon as an agreeable date
could be arrived at.
-Agreed to make a final
decision at the next meeting
on contracting with an insur-
-ance firm to draw up specifi-
cations for the city's insur-
ance needs.
-Gave permission to the
Wewahitchka College Park
Church of God to hold an area
outdoor youth rally in the City
Park at the west end of Fifth
Street on March 27.
-Received what appears to
be the brush-off for applica-.
tion for a federal grant on the
City's Wastewater Treatment
Plant. EPA had promised a
grant before the system was
built but seems to have to
changed its mind since.
-Received five bids on the
purchase of 150 new parking
meters, which will be approv-
ed after the lowest and best
bid is ascertained.
-Agreed to donate $200.00
to the budget of the Florida
State Science Fair which will
be held in this area this year.


Water

ity. Cost estimates worked up
by Clerk Charles Brock show-
ed the City's charges are
running the system to the
border line of being in the red.
The Commission is getting
ready to do considerable ex-
pansion and improvements
work to the system which
should lower the cost of pro-
viding the services slightly.
"As it is right now," Brock
said, "The City would go just
slightly in the red charging the
prices outlined by FHA." He
suggested, and the Commis-
sion felt the charges may need
to be increased just barely
over FHA's suggested mini-
mum in order to serve the
area without a loss in revenue.
FHA also wants the city to
do the maintenance and bil-
ling necessary to keep the
system operating, all of which
is being considered in arriving
at the rate to be charged.
The County Commission will
be faced with the guaranteed
payment for the loan at their
meeting Tuesday night and
will make the final decision on
the fate of the system.
The County has been warn-
ed that in the next couple of
years, t.he EPA will require a
taxing district of the area to
finance its own system if one
isn't in operation by that time.

derness preserve at T. H.

as approved by the State De-

Herman Ard, Chairman
J. David Bidwell, Supt.


naturalist of the Department
of Natural Resources' Divi-
sion of Recreation and Parks,
said the huge wilderness
tract occupies the northern
five miles of St. Joseph Penin-
sula, which serves as a geo-
logical barrier, protecting the
mainland of Gulf County.
The naturalist said the wil-
derness area, noted for the
high dunes, has been opened
for the use of small groups to
hike, enjoy primitive camping
and nature study. Fishing and
swimming are permitted in
conjunction with hiking, he
added.
Stevenson said the carrying
capacity of the preserve is 10
persons a day, or one group of
up to 20 persons a day.
Campers must take every-
thing they need on their back.
When leaving, they must car-


ry out their trash. Sites may
be set up in any part of the
preserve except on sand dunes
and in sand pine scrub. Only
fallen wood may be used for
fires. Fee for overnight camp-
ing is 50 cents a person.
The 1,650 preserve offers
hiking routes along the center
of the peninsula, bayshore and
beach. The shore trails pro-
vide easiest walking. Sand
pine scrub, slash pine flat-
woods and small fresh water
marshes are types of plant
communities seen. The scrub
occupies the old sand dunes
east of the Gulf beach, and
lower areas have flatwoods
and marsh vegetation.
The peninsula attracts bird
migrations in the spring and
fall. Warblers and hawks are
in evidence currently, stop-
ping off en route to northerly


destinations. Pelicans can be
seen year round.
Users of the wilderness pre-
serve are advised to register
at the park office, when enter-
ing the state park. Upon de-
parting, they must checkout
with the park superintendent.
Also, potential users would be
wise to call the park in ad-
vance to make reservations.
Besides St. Joseph, back-
pack camping may be enjoyed
at Torreya State Park, near
Bristol and Myakka River
State Park, near Sarasota.
