Star pi 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. WANT FIRE DEPT. A delegation of citizens from (Continued on Page 6) 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.

The public is urged to stop at one of the intersections and give to the ACS as the Wheel- ettes strive to help meet the Gulf County goal of $5,000.00. 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- Setting Station In Place and handles a major portion of the sewage collected in the city. The lift station boosts the flow to the First Street station, Construction workers Lou Baumgartner, Chuck Phillips where it is pumped on to the treatment plant. and Curtis Bristol guide a part of the new sewage lift station Many people in Port St. Joe are not even aware their tax into place, deep down in a hole in the ground. The lift station money is at work here, but those who live in the vicinity can is located at the corner of Sixteenth Street and Long Avenue tell you it is and will probably be glad to see it finished. 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.

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. , --- =- 0 * Le tte rs. to the Editor - March 22, 1976 Navy during the Spanish men were promoters and used Wesley Ramsey American War.

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- able. A good portion of our food came from the bay. My father and I would sail around the bay to catch fish, scallops and turtles. In those days they were all plentiful. Occasion- ally. when the moon was full we would sail to Six Mile Point. where Butler's Restau- rant is now located to get turtle eggs. Turtles used to lay their eggs along that beach. Our only neighbors were the Lupton family at Cape San Blas lighthouse. Occasionally we would visit them. On one of our visits to the light a U. S. Navy gun boat was chasing a boat running guns to the Spanish forces in Cuba. My father made us hide behind the sea hills to watch the chase to keep from getting hit from gunfire. I believe witnessing tftla battle influenced mv father to join the Navy. I have some fond memories of living on Black's Island and some not so fond.

When he came up I was screaming and looking up into the sky. He lifted the turtle and my foot over the side in the bay and he let go my foot. My father asked me why I was looking up in the sky and I told him that I had heard a turtle wouldn't turn loose until it thundered and I was looking for a cloud.

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. between the legs, and he was also a kind of an off-and-on philosopher when not looking down the open mouth of a gopher hole. There could be 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.

Urban Horticulturist 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.

Kohler 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. The following regular and substitute drivers attended the session: Jeannette Antley, Barbara Brown, Janice Brownell, Betty Cleckley, George Cooper, Betty Curlee, Bernice Fortner, Mae Ella Gant, Linda Green, Annie Hall, E.

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 ILt-- iss It is said that the first public library was founded in Athens in 540 B.C. 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 Tuesday. They travel to Graceville Saturday for a twi- light double-header. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Corner Third Street and Baltzell Avenue Rev.

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."

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, Actor will M.C. fashion show and local talent in effort to reach county goal. "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".

Till ilCl \V, MARCH 25, 197t PAGE NINE 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. Annual Golf Tourney Will Honor C. W.
