Ambulance Servic



Gets State Grants


Gulf County Volunteer Am-
bulance Squad Chief Dick
Lamberson advised the Coun-
ty Commission Tuesday night
that he had arranged for state
grants to finance a communi-
cations and tele-communica-
tions of cardio resuscitation
equipment for the ambulance
vehicles and asked the Board
to sign an application for the
grants, which would total
$34,200.
Lamberson said the state
would require the systems of
the county in a short period of
time and the installations


would greatly facilitate the
effectiveness of the ambu-
lance squad in their work.
Lamberson had Whiting An-
drews, area representative of
the Emergency Medical Ser-
vice of the Division of Health
with him at the meeting
Tuesday night. Andrews hand-
ed the Board a check for
$17,200 to be used for the
system. Lamberson also had
an application for an addition-
al $17,000 grant from the
Governor's Highway Safety
Commission, which the Board
filed to receive the grant.


Sen. Stone Listens


to Local Citizens


Senator Richard (Dick)
Stone made a whirlwind "lis-
tening", trip through Port St.
Joe last Saturday afternoon.
About 50 local citizens met
with the Senator at the St.
Joseph's Bay Country Club for
a conference with the fresh-
man law-maker before he took
off for Tallahassee and Wash-
ington.
One of the biggest items on
the agenda was asking for
relief from the stringent pro-
posed flood insurance re-
quirements especially the
elevation requirements for
ground floor levels.
Flood insurance people have
told the Port St. Joe City
Commission that a 12 foot
floor elevation level will be
established for Port St. Joe.
Stone was asked to see what
he could do to get this re-
quirement modified.
The Senator assured local
interests he would do what he
could to get the requirement


lowered to six feet, which
would be more in keeping with
the building practices already
in existence here in the city.
Another big problem was
the absence of a federal grant
as promised for partial pay-
ment for the City's $9 million
wastewater treatment plant.
Representative William J.
Rish told Stone the City had
been promised from 30 to 60
percent grants, prior to con-
struction, as partial payment
for the system. The promises
had been made by various
levels of the Environmental
Protection Agency. The per-
centages promised varied
from official to official.
At present no grant money
has been seen and the City has
been told by EPA not to expect
it. According to City Clerk
Charles Brock, "They may not
have been firm on their prom-
ise to give the grant, but they
seem to be firm on their
statement not to give it".


Lamberson and Andrews
said the installation of the
equipment would give the
ambulance service the capa-
bility of immediately trans-
mitting electro cardiogram
scans to the hospital for
instant interpretation for
emergency treatment of heart
failure and respiratory ail-
ments.
Lamberson also announced
he expected delivery of the
new ambulance for the Port
St. Joe area within the next
two weeks.
ASSESSMENT PROBLEMS
Baynard Malone and Al
Hargraves presented the
Commission with the com-
plaint that their property as-
sessment values had been
increased without their prior
notification by the Property
Appraiser. Board Attorney
William J. Rish advised the
Board that prior advice of-
valuation increase was re-
quired by law before the
increase could go into effect.
Malone and Hargraves were
short-stopped in their presen-
tation by papers filed with the
Board by Samuel A. Patrick,
Appraiser, reducing their val-
uations and values of three
other tax payers.
Patrick reduced the valua-
tion of Hargraves' property
from $21,200 to $18,000; Ma-
lone's from $4,000 to $3,500 and
$22,100 to $20,100, which both
said seemed to be in line with
the previous year's assess-
ment.
Other reductions filed by
Patrick was property owned
by Monica L. Stone from
$52,000 to $45,500 and property
owned jointly by Frank Han-
non and David May from
$52,000 to $45,500.

For at least two administra-
tions, the Gulf County Com-
mission has been plagued by
at least two water problems:
trying to get it for Oak Grove
and trying to keep it out of the
new Gulf County Courthouse.
For the past eight years, the
Commission has been striving
to get water and sewer service
for the Oak Grove community
and has even spent around
$12,000 for engineering of the
system. Their main stumbling
block in this area was financ-,
ing lack of financing, that
is.
Last month the Farmers
Home Administration, a gov-
ernment agency, solved that
problem by coming up with a
grant and loan. FHA area
director, Ernest Pittman, ap-
peared at the board meeting of
S; February 24 and offered a loan
of $136,300 and a grant of
$123,000 to get the services
installed.
Pittman said, that based on
a customerr load of 170 a.
minimum bill of $10.30 should
pay for the services, secured
from the City of Port St. Joe,
and pay off the loan over a 40
year period.
Since that time, a survey
has revealed only 143 potential
customers and FHA came
back for an annual "guarantee
of $3,700 to assure the loan
being paid for.
Tuesday night, the Board
tthe had to decide if they wanted to
the guarantee this amount with
county funds and after con-
new
work siderable discussion agreed to
bork do so. This doesn't mean the
county will subsidize the sys-
tem by this amount of money
land each year. It means, they will
sign Oak Grove's note and
increase the base rate a
couple of dollars each month
to meet the expense. As the
customer load grows from
new construction of homes,
the required payment will be
reduced.
After a wait of eight years,
the people of Oak Grove are
going to receive water and


sewer service.
The only. thing which will
stop the installation now is the
possibility that construction
may cost more -than the
money available.
COURTHOUSE LEAKS
The second water problem
was leaks in the new court-
house.
Since practically the first
rain after the new courthouse
was finished, the building has
leaked. The water comes in
from what the Commission
has claimed was an improper-
ly installed roof and from
decorative panels placed on
the outside of the building.
Architect Charles Arthur Gas-
kin says water is getting in
behind some of the panels,
which are warped, and com-
ing through concrete- block
walls: ":
Tuesday night, the Commis-
sion let a bid to Griffin
Construction Company of
Blountstown to replace the
ro6of'.arid reniove alb lthe 'de-
orative panels to water-proof
the walls and re-caulk the
panels. The amount of the bid
was $29,878 plus $36.00 for
removing each of the panels.
There are. approximately 90
panels on the building,
Gaskin said his .inspection .
showed that 25 to 30 of the
panels were warped and need-
ed attention.

Gulf County School Board
faced a room full of irate lunch
room workers, teachers aides
and custodians last week. All
of the ire was brought on by a
foul-up in minimum wages
and what the rate would be for
the schools.,
The problem was that the
School Superintendent had au-
thorized a wage increase on
the basis of a directive from
Washington concerning the


minimum wage and the School
-Board came along and re-
scinded part of Bidwell's ac-
tions and called for restitution
of the wage increase from part
of the people who-had received
it.
To put it mildly, that "pay
back" bi' caused some frayed
tempers and a good deal of
emotionalism at a special
meeting for the purpose of
discussion last Wednesday af-

ternoon.
The situation evolved from
actions which started at the
budget session last July.
The Board had been told by
the Department of Labor that
minimum wage for the Board
would be $2.10 per hour. This
was set up in the budget and
payment was started to those
who weren't getting more
already.
Then, in January, Bidwell
says he was notified that the
Board must pay $2.20 as a
minimum wage. This meant
raising some of the lower paid
employees. Since the directive
came down as law, Bidwell
went ahead and authorized a
loc per hour raise for all
employees involved in the
wage bracket,
The School Board met again
in a few weeks, discovered the
pay increase and changed
Bidwell's mind in granting
wage increases to those who
were already receiving pay
above the new minimum
wage. As a matter of fact, they
asked Bidwell to get the
money paid out in wage
increases back, since the
wage increase was not in the
budget and others had not
received increases.
This "take it back" direc-
tive was the main cause for
the displeasure of the people
involved.
Bidwell told The Star, "It
was an unfortunate chain of
events for which I take the
blame. I goofed!"
As a result of the Wednes-
day meeting, the people re-
ceiving less than $2.10 prior to
January 1 have a pay in-
crease; those who were mak-
ing more are paying back
about $20.00 each and are
decidedly unhappy about it.

EDITORIALS:




Mr. Shevin Changes


His Mind


Florida's Attorney General Rob-
ert Shevin has undoubtedly quit
reading the Miami Herald and
started reading the grassroots press
of Florida if his statement of last
week is any indication.
Shevin, that former champion of
the accused, has now come out in a
press conference favoring "swift
and sure" punishment for criminals.
We thought we would read where
President Gerald Ford had chosen
Nelson Rockefeller as his vice-pres-
ident for another term before we
would have the pleasure of reading.
where our Attorney General was in
favor ,of punishing those who de-
served it.
Shevin, making noises like a
Gubernatorial candidate for 1978,
said last Monday that the "swift-and
sure" punishment for breaking the
law is "ong ayto deliver ,that
message is to abolish plea bargain-
ing and parole". Lordy mercy! Is
this the same Robert Shevin who
advocated freedom for our famous
Freddie Pitts and Wilbert Lee a
few years ago? It couldn't be!
The Attorney General even
went so far as to say, "Plea


bargaining has become a mockery
of the intent of the system of
justice". Mr. Shevin is now toutiflg
something new by claiming that our
system of "justice" "frustrates law
enforcement officers". It has dawn-
ed on someone in power that the
arrested criminal is beating the
arresting officer back out onto the
street.
Mr. Shevin's theme now is, "We
should not allow offenders to plead
guilty to a lesser offense and receive
a very light sentence or probation
for their crime". Mr. Shevin thinks
the Legislature should consider
alternatives that will speed up our
criminal justice system for those
who commit violent crimes.
The Attorney General also fa-
vors flat time sentencing which
would prescribe, by law, sentences
to be levied against criminals for
-committing certain crimes,; rather.,
than leave the sentence time up to
the courts.
We never thought we would see
the day when such statements would
be made by our Attorney General
but we're glad to see the tide of
officialdom finally turning in the
favor of the victim for a change.


News AboutAmerica


: Here's another chapter to the
editorial we ran last week about
'!Good News for America". Walt
Seifert, professor of journalism at
Ohio State University wrote the good
things about America and should be
required reading in every class-
room.
If you can imagine this entire
world as a village of just 1,000 people
... you'd find: only 56 of them are
Americans. but they enjoy more
freedom than any others and have
half the total income. The life
expectancy of these Americans is 71
years today, while the other 944
people have expectancy under 50
years.
Professor Seifert was born in the
slums of Cleveland and has never
forgotten his debt to America, which
gave him the freedom and opportun-
ity to rise above his humble begin-
tiings. After painstaking research,
the patriotic professor suggests
these answers to doomsayers who
charge America is heading down-
liill:
: Charge: "Our poor get poorer."
: Answer: in 1970 we had .14
ilillion fewer poor people than in
i960. By OEO standards the percent


of poor dropped from 22 to 12 in 10
years."
C: "Our small towns are dying."
A: "Today we have 30 percent
more small rural towns than 50
years ago."
C: "The American farmer is
going broke."
A: "Our average net income per
farm increased from $3,024 in 1964 to
$9,271 in 1974 and farm assets more
than doubled."
C: "The arts are dying in
America."
A: "Today we support 1,500
symphony orchestras and 5,000 com-
munity theaters."
C: "Our air is filthy today."
A: "Facts are it's much
cleaner than 50 years ago, when
every Ohio home belched coal
smoke all winter and every street
had clouds of flies all summer."
C: "Blacks aren't getting edu-
cated."
A: "More blacks go to college
here today than anywhere else in the
world. The total has doubled since
1960 and keeps increasing."
There you have it some of the
reasons why America, by any rea-
sonable yardstick, remains the
greatest country on earth.

neatly to the side of a pretty
leather suitcase. He said that
he was an organizer, special-


the materials that the govern-
ment had assembled to build a
lighthouse but had abandoned
the plan. When we moved to
the island there were some
wild chickens and a house cat
that had been left by a Mr.
Kent that had lived there
earlier. We had to catch rain
water for our use and store it
in a cistern because there was
not a fresh water supply avail-

bay to catch fish, scallops and
turtles. In those days they

Ever since the weather started warming up
a little bit I've been having a fit to get up to Lake
Wimico to try out the bass on a shiner or two.
Last week, I was talking to my friend, Bob
Phillips, and we were talking about going bass
fishing. Bob said, "The water's too high up there
right now. Those bass, are out in the woods
feeding on crawfish rather than forage for what
they can get in the lake and you can't blame
them."
Then Bob went on to explain that it seems
like every time the water gets down right to fish
over the week end, it appears as if they open the
gates on the dam at Chattahoochee on purpose to
improve the fishing on the lake at the expense of
us here down river."
I didn't take too much stock in what Bob
said even though it seemed as if he was right. As
a matter of fact, it seemed so all last' year.'
Thursday afternoon, Frenchie and I took off for a
week end in Warner Robins, Ga., for the first


time since last July 4 and as we were crossing
the river at Chattahoochee, lo and behold, every
gate on the dam was open. When we came back
Sunday afternoon, they were still open.
Coincidence?
I'll let you know next week when we get the
letters of explanation of just why the dam gates
were open from the people around Chattahoo-
chee after they get wind of this blurb.

It never fails when we go off for a week
end like that, we miss a lot right here at home.
For instance, we missed the meeting at the
Country Club last Saturday morning with
Senator Dick Stone. A delegation from the City
was going to put the sqeeze on Senator Stone to
get us some relief in our flood insurance
,requirements,,with which we are about to be
stuck with. The rules and regulations would re-
quire homes in Port St. Joe to be built with the
ground floor at least 12 feet above sea level.
My understanding is that the Senator
promised to do what he could to get that
specification lowered to six feet. If he succeeds
in getting this done, he will have saved the day
for us here along St. Joseph's Bay.
Too, I would have liked to hear the Senator
play his harmonica one more time.

One thing I didn't miss while I was away was
the piece in the paper about what an all-Ameri-
can kid Carolyn Kennedy was. It seems that
Carolyn at just 18 years of age won't turn down a
slug of booze but she won't touch pot or dope
' "unless it's just to take a puff or two just to be
sociable."
It does me good to know we have kids around
like Carolyn with their heads screwed on right.
I'd hate to think she would rather get stoned on
pot than drunk on booze. It just wouldn't seem
right for a former president's daughter to let
herself go to that extent.
I'll admit, freely to being a teetotal-er and a
might prejudiced in the matter, but I can't see a
whale of a lot of difference in being stoned on
dope or bombed on juice.

I see where the people who advocate
legalized gambling for Florida (in addition to
what we already have) are circulating petitions
to get the question on the ballot. Some
newspapers are even running ballots for filling
out and mailing in as a public service. You will
not find such a ballot in The Star as any public
service, I can assure you of that.
I don't know how successful they are at
getting their signatures, but it would suit me all
right if they don't get another one. Florida needs
to remain as near to the image of being a family
playground as possible and you can't tell me the
entire family can join in at the one-armed bandit
or have a meaningful relationship over a game of
craps.

This one from Dr. Tom Gibson:
He says Jimmy Hicks got a degree from the
School of Journalism at the University of
Alabama and considered himself adequately
trained to serve on anyone's journalism staff.
This was back in the 30's and young Hicks was
having a hard time hitching his talents to any
newspaper in the South.
His uncle knew Irvin S. Cobb on the New
York Times and sent Jimmy off with a letter of
introduction, to get a job.
At the interview, Mr. Cobb looked at the
letter and said, "Hicks ... do you know what we
do with 'hicks' up here in New York?
Young Hicks thought the question over for a
few minutes, then thoughtfully replied, "No, but
I know what we do with 'cobs' in Alabama.

something that sharpens a
man's wit on squatting in front
of a gopher hole day after day
on a lonely sand ridge with
only a corn sack of gophers for
companions.
The old philosopher
theorized the man would en-
counter some difficulty in or-
ganizing our town as the
people were already enjoying
an organization that was sim-
ple and human. We attended
the week long tent revival with
its sweet smelling sawdust
floor. The birth rate was gain-
ing on the deaths by children
wearing asafetida bags
around the neck during the
sickly winter season. For ex-
citement, a run-away mule
team down Main Street would
be hard to organize.
This was during the wet
season and after a week's
frogging up and down the
streets under the pronged ribs
of his gold-bandled parasol the
organizer presented to the
town's improvement commit-
tee a survey that showed
several groups of people that
should be doing anything be-
sides what they were doing.
The groups named in the
report accepted the inevitable
work program and there pass-
ed from the local scene the
beautiful physical actions of
some wonderful people who
found leisure and simplicity in
meeting the trains, playing
checkers and whittling. Each
member seemed to realize
that leisure and simplicity are
fleeting, but leisure and sim-
plicity are always within the
soft embrace of everyone.

Both color and dimension
can be added to the home
flower garden with the selec-
tive use of caladiums.
Caladiums are tropical foli-
age plants and are tropical
American in origin, with' a
large portion of them coming
from the Amazon basin in
Brazil.
Two different types of cala-
diums are available. These
include the fancy and lance
leafed types: The most popu-
lar and familiar is the fancy
leaved caladium. Large some-
what rounded, leaves are
characteristic of this type.
The distinguishing character-
istic of the lance leaved type of
is a narrow, elongated leaf.
The length of the leaves is
similar to the fancy leafed
type but the plants are usually
more dwarf in stature.
Caladiums add a cool look to
the summer garden and are
easy to grow, providing the
gardener observes a few basic
growth guidelines. Plant the
caladium tuber in moderately
rich well-prepared soil in a
shaded or partly-shaded loca-
tion. Soils for caladiums
should be porous and contain
organic matter. These condi-
tions insure aeration, drain-
age, and sufficient water-hold-
ing capacity for proper
growth. To obtain these soil
conditions it is generally nec-
essary to amend either clay or
sandy soils with organic mat-
ter. Sources of organic matter
include coarse peat moss, well
rotted manure, or well rotted
leaf mold.
The caladium is rugged, but
it will not tolerate the full
summer sun. For best results,
plant caladiums in a semi-
shaded location. From 40 to 60
percent shade is considered
ideal. The fancy leaved vari-
eties can be used in areas
exposed to full sun for one to
two hours per day, preferably
in the cooler morning hours.
Lo' ger exposure destroys the
chlorophyll in the leaves and
limits growth. Overexposure
to full sun may cause foliage
bleaching or even burning of
the thinner leafed varieties.
The caladium prefers a
moist soil but not a soggy or
poorly drained one. Over-
watering in poorly drained soil
will cause decay of the fleshy
tubers or roots. Mulching
plants and maintaining a high


relative humidity are bene-
ficial in maintaining healthy,
turgid foliage. If soils are
allowed to dry, wilting occurs
rapidly. Foliage loss is likely
if plants remain wilted for any
considerable length of time.
Caladiums respond to pro-
per fertilization. A complete
fertilizer should be mixed with
the soil and organic matter at
planting time. A minimum of
two pounds of a garden fer-
tilizer (8-8-8) per 100 square
feet (2 teaspoons per square
foot) is suggested. Thereafter,
apply one teaspoon per square
foot each month during the
growing season.
Wait until all danger of frost
is past to plant out in the open.
Tubers should be planted two
inches deep and about 18
inches apart. Pack the soil
firmly around them when
planting.
If caladiums are started
early indoors or purchased in
pots, they should be hardened
to outdoor conditions by grad-
ually exposing them to out-
door light and heat. For early
plants, sprout the tubers in
moist peat moss, sand or loose
soil. Place in larger pots or in
garden beds as soon as the
roots begin to spread. If a
bloom shoots up, pinch it off
or the plant will be robbed of
food needed for leaf pro-
duction.
There is a wide choice of
colors in selecting caladiums
for the yard. The popular
candidium and White Christ-
mas varieties are white with
strongly. contrasting green
;veins. These varieties bright-
en shaded areas and are
particularly handsome when
interspersed with white ger-
aniums, white petunias, vari-
egated vinca or hydrangea.
Popular pink or rose colored
leaves appear on such varie-
ties as Lord Derby, Pink
Cloud, Kathleen, Rosebud,
Carolyn Wharton and others.
Crimson Wave has a showy
crimson crinkled center. Red
is found in the Blaze, John
Peed, Red Flair and Freda
Hemple varieties. Dark green
veins and borders give added
accent to the red leaves.
Spangled Banner has red
glowing leaves with pink
spots.
Caladiums are also easy to
grow in- a pot or tub for a
shaded spot on the patio or in
an entrance area.

On Friday, March 19, school
bus drivers from Port St. Joe
and .Wewahitchka partici-
pated in an inservice program
designed to update their skills.
Highlighting the activities
were presentations by Dr.
Wayne Conger, Director of the
Gulf County Guidance Clinic,
Squad Chief Dick Lamberson,
Jim Gregg and Mrs. Rita
Brown of the Gulf County Vol-
unteer Ambulance Squad.
Dr. Conger's topic of discus-
sion covered the broad area of
driver-pupil relationships. In-
formation, procedures, and
techniques were presented en-
abling each participant to
consider a variety of ways to
handle situations arising from-
the performance of their jobs.
Dr. Conger's expertise in the
area of pupil transportation
problems was evident as he
responded freely to questions
and hypothetical situations.
Squad Chief Lamberson,
Mrs. Brown and Mr. Gregg
focused their attention on six
topics-fainting, seizures, ob-
ject in eye, nosebleed, choking
and shock. Most school bus
drivers in Gulf County have
participated in a first aid
school, but the drivers them-
selves felt updating of skills
was needed. The presentation


covered the various situations
which are common and must
be handled by the school bus
driver.

substitute drivers attended
the session: Jeannette Antley,
Barbara Brown, Janice
Brownell, Betty Cleckley,

Sharks Bump Tigers,



Then Lose to Bay High


The Sharks only played two
games last week, and came
away with a 5-0 win over
Blountstown, and lost to Bay
High 3-2 in a 10-inning game.
Keef Pettis, a junior right-
hander, completely handcuff-
ed the Blountstown Tigers as
he pitched a near-perfect
game. One Tiger player got on
base by means of a fourth-
inning hit; all other players
who came to bat were retired.
Pettis fanned eight hitters,
walked none and gave up one
lone hit. He was in complete
control as he struck out six of
the first nine men to come to
the plate. The Sharks were
held to three base hits, but
pushed across five runs, with
the help of five Blountstown
errors.
Getting hits were Ricky
Hatcher, Wade Stoutamire
and Duane McFarland, and

each had one RBI.

The Sharks traveled to Pan-
ama City Friday to play a
very good Bay High team, and
almost pulled off a big win.
The Sharks pushed across two
runs in the third inning and it
appeared that this would be
enough runs, as Ricky Hat-
cher was in complete control
of the- game for Port St. Joe.
Hatcher had held the Bay
team to only three hits through
five innings. The Sharks led
2-1 entering the sixth inning.
The Sharks committed
several costly mistakes and
the Tornadoes pushed across
the tying run in the sixth.
Port St. Joe loaded the bases
in.the eighth, but could not get
the needed run. Harlon Had-
dock led off the ninth with a
double, but was stranded at
second base.
Ricky Hatcher held the Tor-
nadoes in check the seventh
through ninth innings. In the
10th, the Bay pitcher led off
with a single, stole second and
scored on an error. Ricky Hat-
cher, the hard-throwing senior


right-handerr scattered nine
hits, while striking out eight
batters and walking none.
The Sharks collected eight
hits, led by R. D. Davis and
Craig Weimorts, both sopho-
mores, with two hits each. Bill
Norton had a two-run single,
Ricky Hatcher had a double,


Harlon Haddock had a big
double in the ninth inning, and
Duane McFarland had a sin-
gle.
St. Joe now has a 9-4 record
with a game in Wewahitchka

Graceville Saturday for a twi-
light double-header.

DOUBLE-BELTED

DELUXE CHAMPION


By Joe St. Clair
The ancient story of the
three blind men approach-
ing an elephant for the first
time offers a great lesson
in understanding.
The first blind man feel-
ing the elephant's trunk de-
clared: "It is like a
snake." The second feeling
the massive leg said: "It
is the same as a tree." The
third holding the tail said:
"Ah, it is only as a rope."
Each wrong yet each
correct. The two and three
sides of arguments and
differences, each and all
have their points, this we
need to remember. Consi-
der the other side, and
there is always another
side.
When there is opposition
to change, try to under-
stand just what the opposi-
tion thinks. The fears and
the anguish that they, feel
could result from change.
This is really what people
are fighting.
What appears as a sim-
ple rope to some, looms as
big as a tree to others.
The greatest attainment
of man is when he can say:
"Friend, I want to under-
stand your problem."

said. "Applications must be
screened against central files
in Baltimore to make sure that
a second number isn't issued
to that same person. Screen-

More than nine out of 10 jobs
are covered by social security.
"Your social security num-
ber is yours alone and remains
the same for life." Robinson
said. "A worker builds retire-
ment, disability, survivors,
and Medicare protection by
work and earnings credited to
his social security number. So
when you get a job covered by
social security, be sure your
employer copies your name
and number correctly from
your social security card to his
recordss"
People can get information
about applying for a social


security number by calling,
writing, or visiting any social
security office. People apply-
ing for a social security num-
ber for the first time may be
asked to prove their age,
identity and citizenship.
"If you've lost your social
security card, you can get a
duplicate by contacting any
social security office," Robin-
son said. "You can get a dup-
licate faster if you've kept the
stub that came with your
social security card."
The Panama City social
security office is located at
1316 Harrison Avenue. The
phone number is 769-4871..

PAGE EIGHT Tll STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY, MARCH 25, 1976


Joe St. Clair and Leif Erickson


Leif Erickson Promoting



Cancer Donations In Wewa


Leif Erickson, star of stage,
screen and television, chats
with Joe St. Clair from the
Port St. Joe Unit of the Ameri-
can Cancer Society during the
Society's statewide kick-off
held recently in Tampa.
During the upcoming
months, Mr. St. Clair will lead
local Cancer Society volun-
teers toward a goal of
$2,500.00.
The Wewahitchka Chapter
of the American Cancer Cru-
sade is sponsoring a fashion
show featuring fashions of
men, women and children,
and Leif Erickson will model
in the show and will also serve
as master of ceremonies.
Fashions will celebrate our


nation's 200th anniversary and
will be modeled by profes-
sionals as well as local talent.
Tickets may be ordered by
contacting Mrs. Ed Band-
jough at the Wewahitchka
State Bank.
Three kinds of tickets may
be purchased: a single ticket,
$10.00.; couple's ticket, $15.00;
or a patron couple's ticket for
$25.00. Those purchasing a
patron ticket will be invited to
attend a free reception after


the fashion show at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Larry White,
which Mr. Erickson will at-
tend. Each ticket is a donation
to the American Cancer Soci-
ety, the organization dedi-
cated to eradicating this
dreaded disease in the future.
Leif Erickson's career has
included plays on Broadway,
radio programs, a number of
important motion pictures and
numerous top television shows
(perhaps his best known,

"High Chaparrel"). Some of
his film roles have been
played alongside such greats
as James Stewart, Robert
Young, Susan Haywood, Bar-
bara Stanwyck, Ingrid Berg-
man, Rosaline Russell, Rock
Hudson and Elvis Presley.
This is an event you can't
afford to miss because you
will be privileged to see
fashions modeled, meet Leif
Erickson and contribute to
such a worthy cause as the
Cancer Crusade-all in a sin-
gle evening. Plan now to be a
. part of this event and thereby
become a living example of
the theme of the 1976 Cancer
Crusade, "Living is Beautiful;
Giving is Beautiful".

Responsible for Safety of



80,000 Acres of Woodland


For 20 years, forest ranger
John Redmon has kept the
responsibility for over 80,000
acres of Gulf-County's wood-
lands. The Division of Fores-
try boasts that if Bear Bryant
can walk on water, then John
Redmon can do it with a trac-
tor and plow! That's how good
a firefighter he is!,
Raised on a small farm near
Graceville, he served five
years with the U. S. Army in
the Pacific theater. Upon dis-
charge, some 30 years ago, he
married the former Frances
Paulk, from Campbellton. The
couple have six children and
two grandchildren.
When asked what he liked
most about the forest service,
Redmon replied, "it's steady
work-dependable-no lay-
offs, and Frances and I have
always been able to figure a


budget to live by".
Proof of this is that the
Redmons put all six children
through school, four of whcih




T7l


completed college. one with
a masters degree. A tribute to
the Division of Forestry and
Gulf County is John Redmon.

Roberts Invitational Tournament" will be the
fourth annual invitational tourney sponsored

Mr. Roberts was one of those individuals
whose contributions and services to the com-


munity earned for him the honor and devotion
of everyone.
The Board of Directors in making the
announcement cited Roberts' substantial
contribution of his time and efforts to the
original organization of the Country Club, and
of the many improvements contributed to the'
golf course and related facilities at his own
expense. He was continuously devoted to the
objectives of developing the recreational
facilities for the use and enjoyment of the
citizens of this area.

ney will be Monday, May 3.
