t Library Site Selection Made


Committee Recommending Corner of Courthouse Property


Gulf County's ad hoc library committee
will recommend to the County Commission at
their meeting on Tuesday, April 13 that a new
libi-ary for Port St. Joe .be built on county
property near the Gulf County Courthouse
here in Port St. Joe.
The committee has been at work for
several months getting the preliminary steps
out of the way for construction of a new
library building at the request of the County
Commission.
The committee will also recommend that
architect Charles A. Gaskin of Wewahitchka
be instructed to begin working up preliminary
plans for a building of at least 10,000 square
feet, to serve the needs of the citizens in the
Port St. Joe area.
For the past several months, the commit-


tee has been investigating possible sites to put
the facility, but prices asked for the property
which the committee felt would be acceptable
was too high in price, according to their
thinking. The cheapest price quoted on
property, which happened to be located on
Long Avenue in the vicinity of Third to Fifth
Street was $6,000 per lot. Since the facility
would need several of the 30 foot lots in the
area, the committee felt the price was too
high.
In a meeting Tuesday night, the commit-
tee asked -County Commissioners Eldridge
Money, Silas Player and Otis Davis, Jr., if the
library could have part of the Courthouse
property. The Commissioners gave their
assurances the land was available at no cost,
since the County owns more than 40 acres at
the Courthouse site.


Tentatively, the committee and the three
Commissioners present are looking at a two
acre plot of land at the intersection of Fifth
Street and Knowles Avenue.
GRANT APPLIED FOR
County Clerk George Y. Core reported to
the committee he had learned a state agency,
the Department of State, Division of Library
Services, rpay have some funds available for
grant. Core reported, "It was one of those
things where an application had to be turned
in immediately", so Core said he filed an
application for the County in the amount of
$150,000.
The County has a gift of a sizeable sum
from a private citizen here in Port St. Joe to
construct a new library building here in Port
St. Joe. The gift isn't enough to foot the entire


bill, but it will make a sizeable dent in the
cost. The County has some federal revenue
sharing money set aside for library buildings,
but there is a possibility that with the local
gift and a possible grant, the trust fund which
has been set aside may not have to be touched
for the new building.
Committee Chairman Bill Simmons, said
he was gratified with the progress made thus
far in the working up of recommendations to
make to the County Commission. "We can
already recommend the place, the size and
the possible financing of the building", said
Simmons. "Now we hope we can recommend
that bids be taken in July and the facility
completed by the first of the year".
Simmons may be rushing his "wishes"
just a bit.

Witten Speaks



to DCT Club


Drawing from the theme of
the Diversified Cooperative
Training class, Fred Witten,
guest speaker for the evening,
stressed the importance of the
Bicentennial year and our
responsibilities to the nation
as citizens. Witten was speak-
ing to the students at their
annual. banquet. held, in, the
Commons Area of the High
School Friday night of last
week.
Witten stressed the point
that the people need to use the
Bicentennial celebration as a
means to get back to some of
the "old ways". He pointed out
that power to keep our nation
great comes ultimately from
the people. "We must re-dis-
cover what patriotism means .
. We need to put country
above individual principals."
The local attorney said it is
important that the nation rely
on its people and that they
exercise their rights properly,
be aware of what government
is doing and express their
opinions.
During the evening, the DCT
students honored their em-
ployers with a steak dinner,
prepared by the students.

Environmental People Call for


Meeting Friday with Commission


Officials from the state De-
partment of Environmental
Regulation will meet with the
City Commission and contrib-
uting members to the Waste-
water Treatment Plant Fri-
day afternoon, to discuss whe-
ther or not to issue an operat-
ing permit for the treatment
facility here.
The DER is reportedly dis-
turbed over an analysis report
turned in for the month of
February, which wasn't as
good as it should be. Plant
manager Bob Simon said a


number of things contributed
to the bad report including
start up of St. Joe Paper
Company, an increase in flow
and overhaul of the areators in
the system.
Simon said the aereators
were being taken out of the
settling pond and overhauled
and could have been a great
factor in the report. The firm
which made the components
are re-working the machines
after they proved to be too
light for the job.
Simon said the DER was


just about ready to give the
plant an operating permit
after nearly a year of monitor-
ing output and checking its
chemical content. "Normally,
they give a temporary operat-
ing permit first for a period of
time, but we were going to get
our permanent permit if this
bad report hadn't showed up",
Simon said.
Since the plant went on the
has operated on the construc-
tion permit until it was found
if it would meet state require-
ments for treatment.


At the meeting Friday af-
ternoon will be representa-
tives from the DER office in
Gulf Breeze, City Commis-
sion, St. Joe Paper Company
and Sylvachem Corporation.
Simon said the plant could
take care of what it was
designed to do but in times of
unusual circumstances such
as happened in February, the
report will not be what it
should be. The influx of a high
load of material to be treated
with part of the plant down
resulted in the bad report.


Debbie Kelly Wins Spelling Contest


Fred Witten
gave the welcome, followed by
the invocation, said by Scotty
White. Dennis gave the DCT
creed and Archie Shackleford
gave the closing remarks.
Cindy and Janet Murphy
provided entertainment for
the evening as they sang
several songs of patriotic ori-
gin.
The class presented their
director, Lamar Faison, with
a gift at the close of the
program.


After nearly a two hour
struggle with 26 other contes-
tants, Debbie Kelly won the
seventh and eighth grade spel-
ling bee at Port St. Joe High
School Friday morning by
spelling "supersonic" and
"lingo".
Debbie, an eighth grade
student and Joanne Freeman,
the last speller left standing
from the seventh grade, spell-
ed it out in the finals, after a
lengthy elimination contest.
Joanne missed the word "sup-
ersonic" and Debbie spelled
it. She had to spell an addi-
tional word correctly to win
the match. When Marion
Craig, who was calling out the
word to the contestants, gave
her the word "lingo", Debbie


spelled it correctly to win the
match.
She will now represent Port
St. Joe Junior High School in ,
the county spell-off.
Joanne didn't give up easily.
In the seventh grade elimina-
tion contest, her final foe,
Donna Bailey, had missed the
word, "zoological". Joanne
spelled it correctly and then
spelled illuminablee" to get
the chance at Miss Kelly, the
eighth grade champ.
Debbie Kelly and Ray Pence
were the finalists in the eighth
grade contest and fought it out
for nearly 30 minutes before
Ray missed the word "orbi-
tal". Debbie spelled the word
correctly then spelled "dob-
bin" to win the contest. On


four occasions, Pence missed
his words, giving Debbie the
chance to win, but she, too,
missed the words and the


contest proceeded. Pence mis-
sed "armadillo", "glutton",
"scapegoat" and finally "or-
bital", before Debbie could


capitalize on his mistakes.
Both grades had a total of 27
contestants when the match
started, but after the first


Another Ambulance Delivered


Gulf County received deliv-
ery of its third vehicle this
week with receipt of a modu-
lar type ambulance mounted
on a one ton vehicle chassis.
The new vehicle will be
stationed here in Port St. Joe


and will serve as a back-up
car for the entire county.
The county has been served
for the east year and a half
with two vehicles, one station-
ed here in Port St. Joe and one
in Wewahitchka.


Local squad chief, Dick
Lamberson went to Orlando
Tuesday to take delivery on
the new vehicle from Starline
Enterprises and drove the car
to Port St. Joe Tuesday afte-
noon.


The new vehicle has several
advantages over the present
machines. The ambulance pod
is a separate urit from the
truck and can be removed and
placed on a new truck when
the present one wears out. It is
a heavier vehicle, making it
safer to operate and able to
carry more equipment.
According to Lamberson,
the new emergency machine
will be equipped with a port-
able suction unit, an air chisel,
AC inverter and extrication
equipment.
The new machine is the
latest thing in ambulance
equipment and brings Gulf
County to a par with any
county in the state as far as
equipment goes.
The new ambulance was
purchased on a bid price of
$17.725.50. It was financed
with a $10,000 state grant and
federal revenue sharing
funds.
Lamberson said the new
piece of equipment will free
the present ambulance for
back-up duty and for transfer-
ring patients.
Plans are already in process
to place equipment on the new
unit to furnish field monitor-
ing of heart, vascular or
respiratory patients.


Gulf County's new ambulance is shown in Tuesday afternoon from Orlando. The new vehicle willgo into
the picture above. The vehicle was delivered -Star photo service immediately.

Sheriff will be Arraigned


Sheriff Raymond Lawrence
has been charged by the
Federal Wildlife Service with
wilfully and unlawfully taking
an alligator and will appear in
federal court in Marianna
Monday morning for arraign-
ment.
The arraignment and
charges stem from an incident
which happened nearly two
years ago at the Gulf County
Courthouse.
At the time, news media
made much of the case which
was later dropped by the
Florida Fresh Water Fish and
Game Commission.
At the time Lawrence and
several witnesses to the act,
said the alligator had been
snagged on a large hook in a


drain ditch adjacent to the
'Courthouse and was injured
and bleeding internally. Law-
rence said he shot the gator to
keep him from dying a slow
death from the internal injur-
ies. He then reported the
incident to the Game Commis-
sion chairman in Tallahassee


and no charges were filed.
Lawrence said, "I thought I
did the right thing for the
gator at the time and I still
think so."
The gator was hooked by a
trustee who had large hooks in
the drain canal fishing for
turtles.


Revival Services Set


The Highland View Church
of God will conduct revival
services beginning Wednes-
day night, March 31, and con-
tinuing through Sunday, April
4.

to attend. A children's church
will also be conducted Wed-
nesday through Saturday
nights.


round of words, including

words like "filibuster", "en-

vironment", "innovate" and
"ulterior", only six seventh
graders and two eighth grad-
ers were left in contention.
Last year's champion, and
the student termed the best
speller in Port St. Joe High
School, Sherri Raffield, slipp-
ed up on her first word and
missed the word "abhor" by
putting an "e" on the end.
This was the second year of

cipating in a state-wide con-
test sponsored by the Florida
Times-Union of Jacksonville.

Students

Study

Twenty-three high school
students from Norcross, Geor-
gia are shown in this picture,
as they gathered here in the
Port St. Joe area last week
end to study marine life as
part of their high school
biology curriculum.
The class is taught by Henry
Janowski, son of Mr. and Mrs.
B. M. Janowski of Indian
Pass. The class stayed at the
Janowski's beach camp
grounds during the week end.
During their stay here, they
were honored with a fish fry
Friday night and spent the day
Saturday combing the beach
and studying the various ma-
rine life which abounds in the
Indian Pass area.

What this country needs -
--most emphatically is exactly
:what Secretary of State Kissinger
-,says we shouldn't have: an election
year debate on U.S. foreign and
defense policy.
Recently, in a speech in Boston,
-Kissinger complained about U.S.
-domestic divisions which, he says,
-are frustrating his carrot and stick
approach to the Soviet Union. His
: approach has reminded us more of
feeding a vicious dog a piece of
hamburger meat with one's bare
-:.hand.
To us, this seems yet another
- manifestation of Dr. Kissinger's
:oft-repeated private fear that the
*U.S. is in fact a declining world
-power, but one must never admit it
in public because to do so will only
make matters worse.
The recent Congressional re-
fusal to support Kissinger and Ford
in their requests for aid to the
anti-Soviet factions in Angola may
seem to be proof of a lack of U.S.
will. However, we would point out
that many negative votes were cast
as protests against the other side of
Kissinger's diplomacy his refusal
to let Soviet adventurism in Angola
interfere with the pursuit of detente.
It is, in short, the whole philoso-


America's famous Liberty Bell
now has a new home. For many
years it has been on display in
Independence Hall, in Philadel-
phia. But the space it was in was so
limited that Congress appropriated
a million dollars to erect a special
building for it, so that the thousands
of Bicentennial visitors who hope to
see it not only can see it but even
touch it-and have their pictures
taken beside it. Most of the visitors
who visit the bell will associate it
with the American Revolution. But
the truth is, is had nothing at all to do
;with our war for Independence. It
had been ringing for twenty years
-before anybody ever dreamed of
such a war!
In 1751, the Province of Penn-
.sylvania decided to build a State
--House that would add dignity to the
-:Provincial Assembly, whose memb-
.bers had heretofore been meeting
- casually in the homes of private
--citizens. They wanted to have a



There are some white peo-
ple who say that black people
don't participate in the Dixie
League, so why let little black
-children play in the Dixie
-League. I was the first black
man to be an assistant coach,
or I thought that I was an as-
sistant coach, and I believe
that the parents of the Vitro
Team believed that I was an
assistant coach, because I was
treated like an assistant
coach.
I joined the League to be-


phy of U.S. foreign policy which
must be debated and closely ex-
amined.
Whatever the administration
claims, the U.S.,is falling behind in
relation to the Soviet Union both
militarily and politically. It is ironic
that this can be perfectly obvious to
any school boy but can still escape a
few supposedly "sophisticated"
academicians. If there is any pre-
tending going on, it is on the part of
those who insist that all is well.
Dr. Kissinger maintains that
there is "no alternative" to his
policies. He can hold out no alterna-
tive to endless competition and
irreconcilable ideological differ-
ences between the U.S. and USSR.
Dr. Kissinger labels himself as a
fatalist by his maneuverings.
The Secretary repeats his warn-
ings to the Soviets and Cubans
against further adventurism. Sup-
posing that, next time around, he
can get congressional support for
U.S. counteraction, let him tell us
how, if present military trends
continue, the U.S. will still possess
the necessary power to act.
These are the kinds of funda-
mental questions which must be
faced and answered in this Bicen-
tennial year.

London to have a bell, which would
be about three feet high and weigh
about 2,000 pounds, made for them.

The Whitechapel Bell Foundry,
which had been making bells in
England for two centuries, was
given the order. In 1752 the bell was
finished and shipped to Philadel-
phia. It had a very stormy voyage
and, perhaps because of this, the
first time it was tested it developed a
crack which spoiled its tone. Two
local workmen were hired to recast
it but even though they recast it
twice it never sounded right. Al-
though the bell had no part in our
struggle for Independence it has
become for us a precious symbol of
the liberty for which our forefathers
fought-and an insistent reminder of
our obligation to protect and pre-
serve that liberty. -Copied


come a head coach someday
in the future, and to show
white people that black people
would participate if you give
them a chance. I was not
asked back as an assistant
coach. In my opinion, it was
because the head coach of the
Vitro Team -would not be a
minor league coach after this
year (1976), and that would
have made me head coach
automatically in 1977. I was
willing to contribute what was
necessary to be a part of the


league.
Are the standards of the
men who organize the Dixie
League too low to try to help a
fellow man who was willing to
participate as a man on equal
basis? There are blacks who
are willing to participate only
if they can feel like they are
wanted. We must work to-

The odors from air pollution
in our river town during pio-
neer times were refreshing.
The height of air pollution was
along about supper time and
was caused by wood-burning
stoves.
During some atmospheric
conditions there was also
much beauty in the smoke
slowly drifting up from the
different stove chimneys and
joining together to form a
round canopy of smoke on top
of the high swamp trees en-
circling the town. The canopy
seemed to form a white pro-
tective covering from the dark
evils that could attack the
river people at the close of
another day of work and love.
Pioneers had deep-set con-
victions about the kind of wood
to be used for cooking. The
wood used 'had something to
do with the way the wood
would smell. and within the
odor was much of the delicious
taste of the food.
Some pioneers desired

There's more to blowing a

Most of the tales tell of
confrontation with a big rat-
tler. 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.
Another is that the snake bit
the dog and Tate sucked out
the venom and saved his
hound at the cost of getting
sick and weak with hunger
and that the dog howled so
long and loud a turpentine
Negro came in and rescued
them both.
Well, so much for conjec-
ture. We entered in to the dark
swamp in single file, Gib in the
lead, then Mr. Rube and yours
truly brought up the rear. I
had old Sport on a leash.
That's Mr. Rube's hound dog
-a cold-nosed slow trailing
black and tan male who
wanted to be released and
start smelling something up.
After a 30-minute walk we
were about a mile and a half
from where we started.

you may get a shot. Mr. Swan-
son says if he comes this way,

he'll jump over that log over
there," said Mr. Rube.
"We'll go on up ahead a
piece and turn the dog
loosee"
I gave him the leash and
settled down to wait.
There was not a breath of
air stirring on the cold Novem-
ber morning. All was so peace-
ful and quiet, and I stretched
out on my back and was soon
asleep. I dreamed I was look-
ing down the barrel of my
12-gauge automatic at a big
10-point buck and all of a
sudden, all hell broke loose. ,
I heard a shot and moments
later old Sport opened up
coming toward me and I heard
the deer break through a cab-
bage palm. Reaching around
wildly for my gun, I kept my
eyes on where he should ap-
pear. Just as I got my hands
on it, the buck crashed into the
open heading for the big log.
Just as he went over the top I
took a snap at him holding the
gun with one hand, as his
white flag disappeared.
"Dad burn it," I said to my-
self, "Mr. Rube and Gib will
give me heck." Then I heard
the cabbage palm again and I


was ready for him. I put three
buck shot in the top of his head
and he fell in front of the log.
Well to wind things up, my
companions soon appeared.
Gib had a buck slung from his
shoulders and Mr. Rube had
Sport on a leash.
"How did you come out?"
asked Mr. Rube.
"Got one and missed one."
We walked over to my deer
and Gib unloosed and skinned
the legs to make a sling. Sport
sniffed around and opened up
with his front feet on the log,
and Mr. Rube looked over and
said, "You didn't miss him,
boy-here he is." We -all
packed a buck apiece back to
the truck.
Tate's Hell was a vast al-
most impenetrable swamp be-
tween Carrabelle and Suma-
tra.
Mr. Rube (my father-in-
law) was a peace officer for
iqany years.
Gib Swanson was a hardy
pioneer who everybody liked.
I was 18, just out of high
school, and as Mr. Rube said, I
was much of a man. All this
happened in 1924.
KILLER K.


To walk down a street under
a canopy of oak and fat pine
wood smoke from the cook
stoves was a journey of beauty
and refreshing odors. To pass
by a kitchen and get a whiff of
black pepper from a pot of
steaming fish chowder made
from blue channel catfish, just
out of the river, added light-
ness to the journey. The
aroma of rich black pepper
with a fish chowder back-


ground could. have always
been the great liberator of a
pent-up appetite.
Perhaps in the visible physi-"
cal beauty beheld by the eyes,
I often miss and ignore the
delicate beauty within the in-
visible attribute of pleasant
odors that if breathed deep
enough would free a beautiful
memory never before libe-
rated within the heart.


ETAOIN SHRDLU

By WESLEY R. RAMSEY


Education Commissioner Ralph Turlington
must still think he's in the Legislature on the one
hand and an education commissioner on the
other hand.
For the past month or so, Turlington has
been filling his news releases with a need for
more money for education. This makes him
sound like the Commissioner of Education. The
Commissioner is asking for a $1.64 billion
education budget for the coming year, which will
require about $150 million in additional state
funds.
Governor Reubin Askew is proposing a $1.5
billion education budget, calling for an addition-
al $60 million in state funds. It isn't hard to see
.the Governor's budget would call on the
individual counties for more participation, than
would Mr. Turlington's model.
Commissioner Turlington is acting like he
was still in the Legislature in that he has already
stipulated where the additional tax money he
wants would come from. He favors hiking the
cigarette tax by three cents a pack and
increasing liquor taxes by 22 cents a fifth.
Turlington is meeting resistance from
sources other than the Governor's office. Several
members of the Legislature are chopping at the
administration level of the education system
saying the needed money can be realized by
reducing the administration bodies.
I don't buy or use either cigarettes or liquor,
but it seems unfair to me to pick on these favorite
whipping boys in the taxation circles when the
same goal may be realized by reducing
expenditures elsewhere.


When we look at the private schools, we see
them operating on tuition from each student of
around $600 per student. The state operated
schools, meanwhile can do nothing but cry for
more money while expending close to $1,000 per
student. I know there are arguments, good and
justifiable for the need for more education
money. The schools exist for educating children
and the private schools seem to be doing a good
job of it at less expenditure per student. On the
other hand, we hear and read nothing but
criticism on whether or not "Johnnie" is
learning to read and write in the public schools.
If Turlington succeeds in getting his money,
I hope he also succeeds in putting it to good use
for education and not more administration.

Social Security and the Post Office are
catching their lumps in the news and editorials
these days. Social Security is going broke and the
Post Office is having its problems delivering the
mail and trying to make ends meet.
Columnist John Chamberlain said last week
that Ronald Reagan had raised a valid point
concerning Social Security in his campaign in
suggesting that Social Security funds be invested
in bonds as a source of interest revenue rather
than government manipulation of the funds
which has placed it far into the red.
Chamberlain also approves Reagan's sug-
gestion that a worker be allowed to keep his
retirement funds with a firm which invests in
productive investments rather than the Social
Security funds. He suggests the worker be
required to invest in one plan or another, but that
he be given a choice.
This corner thinks a person who pays in his
Social Security credits should be able to get them
back in payments upon retirement age, regard-
less of whether or not he retires completely. The
money belongs to the depositor or so they tell
us at Social Security.
The Post Office is another matter. I see
where there is now a proposal being aired to
abolish the public corporation now operating the
service and revert back to the old method of
operation. Which ever method of administration
is used, the service is still going to be faced with
the cost spiral which is knocking every other
company and corporation for a loop these days.
The other method of administration did seem to
offer better service.

Secretary of State Kissinger has issued
"ultimatums" to Russia and Cuba about their
military interventions in Africa. The United
Nations has been predictably quiet in this area.
As James Reston of the New York Times
Service puts it, "It would be helpful if he would
tell the country how he proposes to carry his
threats out."
Since Vietnam and our refusal to become
involved in the Angolan caper, the threats from
the United States no doubt have about as much
"scare" as a graveyard in the daylight.

On the question of legalized gambling for
Florida, Heywood Broun, he of the many-colored
coats says, "The urge to gamble is so universal
and its practice so pleasurable that I assume it
must be evil."
I "assume" right along with Heywood.

With Carpets, Yet!
This new fishing boat.arrived at Raffield's Fisheries
Thursday afternoon, after being brought here from Miami,
where it was made for the local firm. Made entirely of
fiberglass, the huge 63 foot boat changes the complexion of


the fisherman's life entirely. The new boat, which can carry
up to 60,000 pounds of fish is equipped with carpets on the
floor, television, and all the comforts of home for the six-man
crew which will operate the boat.
As the "Captain Carl" warps up to the Raffield dock for
the first time, Ronnie Raffield is at the wheel, with his wife
by his side. A deck hand prepares to throw a line to the dock.

By Joe St. Clair
Very few battles of life
are concluded with a once-
and-for-all victory. Most of
them have to be fought
again and again.
We shape our lives by
making choices and deci-
sions. We become crea-
tures of habit, and join the
throng that moves along in
a rut. Or we choose to be
creative and launch out
into new experiences and
feelings of accomplish-
ments.
The kind of person we
happen to be was largely
determined by the way we
have fought the battles of
life, either through habit-
or the adventures of crea-
tivity.
This is certain, too!
Each of us is deciding
today just the kind of per-
son we "'ill be tomorrow.
No person rises above
his ambitions and neither
does he sink below his
darkest defeats.

will be informed of this mat-
ter. The Chairman said that
one of the engineers has
already been notified and
that he promised to have the

ment. The Board discussed
