City Promised Temporary Plant Operating Permit The City of Port St. Joe needs two permits to properly operate its Wastewater Treat- ment Plant and it isn't meet- ing the criteria "to secure either of them, according to information relayed to the City Commission Friday af- ternoon by a team of four from the Gulf Breeze office of the Environmental Protection Agency. Phil Doherty, acting as spokesman for the group, said the City needs a Federal permit to discharge effluent into a body of water and a state permit testifying to dis- charge and treatment effi- ciency. Doherty said the City's dis- charge is not constant in quality. He pointed out that the discharge has been moni- tored since last January and could not meet specifications for three of the first four months of last year. Since that time, however, the discharge has been within the limits except for the month of Feb- ruary of this year, when the indicators "went off the charts" again. Plant manager Bob Simon said the adverse readings for February were caused by heavy flow of input due to St. Joe Paper Company operating its bleach plant, heavy rains causing water infiltration throughout the col- lection system and over- hauling of the aereators, cut- ting down on the treatment from the accepted standards facilities, could result in a fine to the Doherty said that after a city. permit is issued, any deviation (Continued on Page 8) Breakfast Will Kick-off Cancer Fund Activities Activities for fund-raising and to promote educational information for the American Cancer Society in Port St. Joe are listed below.

The breakfast is being given by a local citizen. ROADBLOCK The Wheelettes, a service organization of Port St. Joe Jr.-Sr. High School will be stationed at various intersec- tions this Saturday, as they extend a helping hand to the Gulf County Unit of the ACS. The public is urged to stop at one of the intersections and give to the ACS as the Wheel- ettes give of their time to help meet the $2,500.00 goal set for Port St. Joe. GCCC CHOIR HERE The Gulf Coast Community College Choir will present a concert in the Commons Area of Port St. Joe Jr.-Sr. High School Thursday night, April 22, at 7:30 p.m. Proceeds from the concert will go to the Can- cer Society's annual crusade fund.

Presently, the Commissioners are elected for two year terms. The Commission heard the first reading on an ordinance calling for the change. The ordinance will be read again at the next meeting on Tues- day, April 20 and then will be placed on the regular Munici- pal election ballot on May 11 for ratification by the voters. Mayor Frank Pate, who made the proposal several weeks ago, said he felt the four year terms were necessary. "A Commissioner is elected and spends his first two years finding out about the intrici- ties of the City operation, then he has to stand for re-elec- tion." Pate also contended that Commissioners serve "for practically nothing" and he felt it was asking too much for a person to serve for nothing and have to go through the expense and work of seeking re-election every two years. Pate said he felt the four year term would serve the City better in allowing a Commissioner to be better informed of the City's opera- tion, at least for the last half of his term. . The new ordinance would call for the Commissioners elected in.May to serve for two year terms. Those elected next year would serve for three years, then the election system would revert to four year terms with elections held every other year. Pate pointed out this would also be a saving for the City in eliminating election expense every year. FLOOD INSURANCE Mayor Pate told the Com- mission Tuesday that he had received communication from the federal flood insurance people during the past week and they had called for an- other meeting with the Com- Candidates May Now Sign Up City Clerk Charles Brook says books are now open for potential candidates to qualify to compete in the Municipal Election on Tuesday, May 11. Candidates have until Wed- nesday, April 21 to qualify. The Commission seats now occupied by Commissioners James B. Roberts and Gerald Sullivan will come up for election next month. Those who wish to qualify to seek election must .be citizens of Port St. Joe. Qualification fees are $35.00 for each post. mission on April 21 at 10:( A.M. Pate said the represer tative had told him he though they could offer Port St. Jo some relief from the stringer regulations proposed earlier by their representatives. The previous meeting wit the federal insurance peop] had said a 12 foot floor elevation above sea levi would be required for a buildings in the city, with tlh exception of commerciL buildings which would have I water-proof for the 12 feet elevation. Pate said he had been give no inkling of what the ne' Chiles Coming Monday requirements would be other than the statement that "some relief" had been worked out. SQUARE DANCERS The Sunshine Square Dance Club asked the Commission for permission to hold their dance sessions in the Stac House every Tuesday night. Michael Roche, in making the request, pledged to leave the building like they found it and asked for some schedule to be worked out so they could use the building. Commissioner James B. Roberts said he would get together with Roche and the operator of the youth recrea- Sen. Lawton Chiles will be in Port St. Joe this Monday, April 19, to kick off his Gulf County re-election 'drive. Sen. Chiles is scheduled to meet with supporters at the Gulf County organizational meeting at eight a.m. at the Port St. Joe High School cafe- teria. The dutch treat breakfast meeting is open to the public. Chiles has set a $10 limit on contributions to his re-election campaign, enabling each per- son to have an equal share in his representative to the United States Senate. tion program to work out a schedule. AUTHORIZE The Commission authorized a change order in its current water and sewage expansion program to Utilities Construc- tion Company Tuesday night, to complete the installation of sewer line under Clifford Sims Drive in North Port St. Joe before the street is paved. Sewer has already been plac- ed under part of the street, but 940 feet is without. Utilities Construction gave a price of $15,296.30 for the job. The street is due for paving under the County Secondary Road Program next year. The Lawtbn Chiles One Equal Share campaign has al- ready attracted more than 12,000 individual contributors, breaking the Florida state record of 7,800 contributions set by Gov. Reubin Askew in 1974. The senator will leave Port St. Joe for Apalachicola where he has a Franklin County or- ganizational meeting set for 11:30 a.m. Later Monday, the senator will be in Blountstown for the Liberty and Calhoun counties organizational meeting.

Rally Round held at the Brown's home on Monument Insurance, Schools, Are Main Concern People of Port St. Joe are concerned about several things in state government, but their main concern is for some relief on automobile and property insurance and a reduction in administrative personnel in the school system. Holding his regular public hearing before the Legislature convenes, Representative William J. Rish heard last Friday night in the Courthouse that people of Port St. Joe were concerned with the rapidly increasing auto- mobile insurance rates; especially the no-' fault liability insurance rates. Bill Simmons stated to Rish, "Auto insurance is getting entirely out of hand." He said he was fearful of present plans by the Senate for renovation of the no-fault program to increase the base from which the insurance would work. The Senate plans to increase the no contest damage limits from $1,000 to $3,500. Rish said the Legislature was going to take a good portion of the session discussing the insurance problem. "Other states are also dissatisfied with no-fault", Rish said. Hughey Williams told the law-maker he was concerned over the increase in taxes planned. "The new liquor tax could put the moonshiner back in business", Williams said. Rtsh pointed out that the talk of new taxes was to finance school operations and that opened another bag of conversation. Those present for the hearing then began to urge a trimming of what was termed the administration-heavy school system. "We feel there are too many people running the school and not enough people teaching," one citizen said. The main thrust at education by those present seemed to be that too much money was being spent for management and programs than was being spent for competent instructors to provide a better pupil-teacher ratio in the classroom. W. C. Roche asked how many teacher slots were abolished in Gulf County's school system economy move last year, and how many management positions were abolished. Rish said he didn't know, but that he would contact Superintendent David Bidwell and High School Principal Ken Herring the next day and discuss the concerns of the people. Rish said the concern of top-heavy management throughout the state in the school operations was a concern of the Legislators and would be getting a close inspection during the coming session. Local teachers Helen Ramsey and Rita Sanders were present asking about funding for education during the coming year. Rish said he felt some relief for educational funding would probably come out of the session, but that an investigation of how the money was being spent would probably accompany the allocation. Other items of concern for discussion were the Governor's proposed gasoline tax, which Rish said he felt would not pass, the need for additional prison facilities (Rish said five prisons were presently under construc- tion and the current trend was for punishment of prisoners) and an overhauling of the Myers Act. Last Rites Held Sunday for Mrs. Mary Seymour Mrs. Mary Alice Seymour, age 88, a resident of 308 16th St., died at 12:55 p.m. at her home last Thursday. Mrs. Seymour had been a resident of Apalachicola for more than 30 years, and had moved to Port St. Joe over a year ago. She was of the Bap- tist faith. Survivors include her hus- band, Joseph M. Seymour of Port St. Joe; a daughter, Mrs. Milford A. Duggar of Port St. Joe; four sons, A. J. Seymour of Cross City, Lowell Seymour of Sarasota, Leon (Bud) Sey- mour of Apalachicola and Lonnie Seymour of Valdosta, Ga.; 21 grandchildren and a number of great grandchil- dren; a half-brother, Frank Seymour of Graceville. Funeral services were held at 2:30 p.m. Sunday afternoon at the Long Avenue Baptist Church, with the Rev. J. C. Odum officiating. Interment followed in the family plot of Evergreen Memorial Gardens Cemetery of Panama City. All services were under the direction of Comforter Fpn- eral Home of Port St. Joe. Pallbearers were David Duggar, David Seymour, Noel Seymour, Phillip Seymour, Mark Collier, Troy Parrish, Marvin Lemieux and George McLawhon. THIRTY-NINTH YEAR.

EDITORIALS: Is It Now Sin for A President to Pray? t"910 William Safire wrote what we consider the best review on the new book by Woodward and Bernstein on the last days of President Nixon that we have seen. In the book, which started in serial form in Newsweek magazine last week, the authors ridicule the former President for calling on the Lord for help in his trying times, and even getting on his knees to pray. About the praying incident, Safire said, sarcastically, "How square. How cloyingly pious. How insufferably un-Georgetown. Can you imagine any person in his right mind, the target of more intense and extended abuse than any American in this century, turning to prayer?" Who could put the insinuation of Woodward and Bernstein in-better. perspective? - Safire goes on with, "And worst of all-to actually fall to ones knees. That's a bit thick, isn't it? You won't find Katherine Graham, or JFK's Ben Bradlee, or Woodward and Bernstein, getting down on their knees to pray they're not religious fanatics. To get down on one's knees when your world is coming apart must surely be a mark of mental instability." Safire's ridicule of the so-called piece of literature,'Woodward and Bernstein have cooked up should go down as a masterpiece of putting someone in their place who needs it. In all likelihood, had Woodward and Bernstein got down on their knees before they started the whole sorry mess, they may have done the nation a service rather than a dis-service. There's no getting around the fact that Nixon knew about the Watergate cover-up. He was neither stupid nor naive. He did wrong to cover it up. As his former aide, turned evangelist, Chuck Colson said in Family Weekly a week or two ago, neither he nor Nixon could figure out to this day why he made the blunder of denying knowledge of the cover-up and keeping the tapes. For two men,, who present themselves as journalists to ridicule a man for getting down on his knees to pray in time of. trouble is a worse faux pas in our estimation.

Good Samaritans Protected People who volunteer to ad- minister first aid to injured persons at the scene of a traf- fic crash are protected from civil action if acting as a "pru- dent" individual would the Florida Highway Patrol said this week. "Florida's Good Samaritan Act," says Colonel Eldrige Beach, Patrol director, "pro- tects anyone, including mem- bers of the medical profession, who gratuitously and in good faith renders emergency care or treatment at the scene of an emergency outside of a hospi- tal or doctor's office without objection of the victim, from civil action as a result of such, care or treatment. That Js," provided such individual of-. fering assistance acts as an ordinary reasonably prudent man would have acted under the same or similar circum- stances." Florida law makes it a felony if a driver who is in- volved in an accident in which peo' le are injured, flees the scene without offering assis- tance or reporting the crash to the nearest law enforcement agency. In addition, their drivers license will be re- voked. "More and more areas of our state are being served by well-trained emergency medi- cal teams with fully equipped ambulances: however, proper actions by others who arrive first can help save lives," concluded the director. For Ambulance Call 227-2311 Large farm owners rented land to share-croppers who owned no land. Why the land owners accumulated so much land was not known, also why the share-croppers had no land was unknown, but in their spirit of cooperation was an illustration of the delicate, sensitive dependence of one man upon another.for physical survival. The land owner usually fur- nished a farm house for the share-cropper, plus seed and fertilizer, while the share- cropper and family supplied the work. The profits during good and bad farm seasons were divided on a 50-50 basis. One land owner said that if a share-cropper maintained a neat and well-filled woodpile near the fireplace chimney, the man would make a good renter, but if he was lazy and allowed the woodpile to be Representative William J. Rish has said his main concern in the present session of the Florida Legis- lature is to see that no new taxes are passed. Rish said in several hearings over the past week, "People in state agencies just don't understand that the folks back home are getting tired of galloping government and bung- ling bureaucracy. The most effec- tive way that we have to cut big government back is through the budget." Rish went on to assure everyone who would listen that his efforts would be focused on seeing that "We squeeze out any waste and ineffi- ciency that we can possibly get to." Rish reads the people correctly. From the national down to the local level, it is our interpretation of the The House of Representatives of Florida faces a delimma. The House is in session now, having opened for business Tuesday, but they still don't know the proper way to address each other. In the past, a Representative has always been referred to as "Mr. So-and-So" on the House floor. Now there is a generous sprink- ling of ladies in the House, which makes for the delimma. What do you call the ladies, "Mr"? Certainly not. "Miss, Mrs. Ms."? The women's libbers won't -have it. Another delimma is the dress people who pay taxes in Port St. Joe that they don't mind paying for what they want and need, but they are sick to death of paying out $10.00 to get $2.00 worth of services and $40.00 worth of un-wanted regulation. If Rep. Rish can just hang in there and hold to his purpose for the full 60 days in face of the intense lobbying, threats, crying and plead- ing, he will have served the people of Gulf county and his district well. In the past there has been little to no resistance to the cry for "just a few dollars more" in taxes to carry off a program which "we can't do with- out". There are plenty of programs now on-going which we could well do without and we would like to see Mr. Rish aim his big guns at these, paring them down to provide more money for really needed purposes. code. In the past Representatives were admonished to wear a coat and tie. Now the ladies present another problem. Coats and ties are not proper attire for ladies. The dress code has now been changed to read, "All persons shall be dressed in proper business attire which, in the case of male persons, shall include coats and ties." We can see it now. A distinguish- ed Representative rises to his feet to refer to one of the lady Representa- tives nattily attired in a pants suit across the aisle, points his finger, and sonorously intones in his micro- phone, "Hey You"! Thinks Youth Deserve Praise March 31, 1976 Wesley Ramsey, Editor 306 Williams Avenue Port St. Joe, Florida 32456 Dear Wes: I noted with particular in- terest the fine article and pic- ture of the two Port St. Joe High School girls, Connie Red- mon and Cheryl Hatcher, who won two of the three first- place honors of the Bicenten- nial Youth Debates held at Florida State University in February. We all have been honored by the great athletic achieve- ments within our county over the past few years. The kind of honors won by these fine young people will let the world know that our young people are also exceptional in the academic arena. Thanks for giving this arti- cle such good coverage. I olpe in a few days you can report them as winners in the com- petition held in Atlanta. Very truly yours, William J. Rish, Representative, District 9 Want Change In Law Since its founding in 1945, concerned residents of Mexico Beach have enjoyed the atmo- sphere of a quiet beautiful area. As many as 35,000 guests have come to know and love our town because they know they can bring their family and enjoy good fishing, safe beautiful beaches and most of all a family-type atmosphere. The business people and residents have worked long and hard for this reputation and we are proud of it. On April 13, 7 p.m. CST at the town hall the City Council of Mexico Beach will deliberate a petition for and against the sale of liquor past midnight. Many of the residents that live in the west end of the town have suffered loss of rest and peace due to one establish- ment who now sells liquor and keeps a live band going until two a.m. The petition asks the City Council to pass an ordi- nance to stop the sale of liquor at midnight and the use of loud music, rather than at two a.m. as it now does. The peti- tion does not ask for the closing of the restaurant as many have been led to believe. It is our belief that the majority of residents would like to see Mexico Beach re- main a family-type resort area and not to be turned in to a honky-tonk town with all the side effects. We are without zoning-the next live band may be operating next door to anyone who lives here. Please attend the April 13 meeting and support the ordi- nance for a midnight closing for establishments who sell liquor and use live bands, in Mexico Beach. Or contact one of our councilmen and let your views be known. Councilmen are: E. 0. Little, 648-6913; Ray Hurst, 648-6787; Jim Long, 648- 6485; Eldon Miller, 648-5364 or Mayor C. E.

The first part of the house to go for wood was the fat, light- ered house blocks under the porches, split into firewood. The next action was a board ripping from the house walls and then axed into proper stove and fireplace length. Just before the share-crop- per would decide to move on to another farm and land owner, about all that was left of the first land owner's farm house was the bricks in the chimney and the hard-to-reach house- top rafters. Most land owners and share- croppers were good friends and often a land owner would make a gift of a farm to a faithful share-cropper. In the ironic and difficult- to-understand contradictions of man depending upon man for physical survival, the son of a former land owner would sometimes become the share- cropper for the former land renter who was now the land owner.

First, Harry Ford came in, as usual on his wash day Monday morning. Harry goes to the laundromat every Monday morning and comes in for a visit to pass the time while the washing machine works. Harry is in his 70's. Then, Tuesday, Jimmy Greer came in with my annual Spring ration of his tomato plant bed. Jimmy has been coming by each Spring, bearing a bunch of tomato plants for years. Jimmy, too is in his 70's. Then, Thursday, Herman Dean came by, wanting some forms printed for his business of repairing band instruments. Herman is in his 70's. There's three men, in their 70's, all three as spry as a spring chicken and still looking for ways to be active. I'll bet Harry Ford never washed clothes a day in his life before he retired. Now he does it to have something to do and keep active. Harry "checks" on at least a half dozen places of business each week, regularly. He says he's checking to see if they are keeping busy and not sitting around. Jimmy Greer usually tells me just how to plant the tomato plants he brings me. I follow his instructions and always get tomatoes. This year, Jimmy came in bearing about a half dozen nearly grown tomato plants and a fruit jar of pinkish liquid which he calls the magic fertilizer which produces tomatoes like I have never seen before. He wouldn't tell me what it was. He just told me to put a half teacup in the hole with each tomato plant. If Jimmy keeps getting more and more solicitous with what I do after he leaves his tomato plants here, I look for him to start taking the out to my house and planting them for me in another three or four years. Herman Dean is getting very close to 80 and still goes strong with his instrument repair business. He even drives to Panama City two days each week to repair instruments for a music store over there. He's making that trip twice a week when most men are considering giving up driving "because they are too old". Herman says he still feels fine and able to do anything. "My heart is getting old, though, and I know it", Dean says. This little blurb isn't to glorify these three remarkable old men, though they deserve it. This little piece is my way of crying in my soup because all three of these near-octogenarians can get around and do more, better, than I can at just a little over half their age. I'm jealous! I read in the papers where Governor Reubin Askew was expected to attend a fund raising party for Donald Tucker this past Tuesday, even though he ignored a similar party for Dempsey Barron earlier last month. The' writer of the story said Barron and the Governor are expected to say "Hello" to each other at Tucker's party, which Barron will also attend, but hardly anything else. The Governor says that is about all he and Barron have said to each other since last session. With Barron being president of the Senate and Tucker speaker of the House and Askew Governor over both, it seems that a gentleman of proper breeding would attend both receptions and thereby express his willingness to work with the men for the State of Florida even if he didn't like one or the other personally. That's a big man you have there for Governor, people! I see where the UN has condemned South Africa for its intervention in the Angolan war. A 15-member council adopted the resolution late last week with a nine-vote required majority. There was nothing said about the interven- tion of Cuba and Russia. The united Stated and China felt the resolution should have condemned all foreign intervention in the former Portugese territory. We can all expect such actions out of the various UN committees, based on past perform- ances. The thing which shakes us up is that the United States, which is a member of the voting committee, didn't cast a "nay" vote. A couple of weeks ago, our Representative, William J. Rish, held a public hearing to discuss items which would be introduced in the coming session of the Legislature in Panama City. A lady called me on the phone and asked, "Why can't Billy Joe hold a public hearing here in his own county? I would like to get an opportunity to attend such a meeting." I told the lady, "Billy Joe has held public hearings in Gulf County before every session since he has been in the Legislature and I feel sure he will do so this time before the session begins. Just watch the paper and we'll carry a news article when the hearing is scheduled. The hearing was held Friday night, and the lady wasn't there. Main Concern SLetter,. to the Editor Hey, You!

Sr. T~h~ ," Pruning Plants Is Best Learned from Experience and Observation tal reason for pruning. The second most important reason to prune is to balance the amount of top growth on a plant with the amount of root system at the time of trans- planting. A third reason to prune is to remove old stems and branch- es to encourage new vigorous growth. This can be done lightly [every year and is a good procedure to follow if the plant is "leggy" or growing out-of-bounds. The 'reason most people prune Is to maintain or deve- lop a desired size or form, to shape the plant and produce more dense growth.

Deciduous plants may be pruned late in their dormant season-for example mimosa, dogwood, jacaranda, oaks, crepe myrtle. Later winter or early spring is suitable for those plants which are late- flowering and fruiting varie- ties. Early flowering plants such as azaleas, spireas, jasmines, and camellias should be Miss Carolyn Marie Robinson pruned immediately after flowering. Plants that produce flowers on their new growth, such as abelia, hibiscus and allaman- da, usually are pruned during the dormant season or before the new flush of growth in the spring. If in doubt, a rule of thumb to follow for flowering trees and shrubs is to prune soon after the flowers have fallen. Engagement Announced Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Robin- son of Wewahitchka, formerly of Port St. Joe, have an- nounced the engagement of their daughter, Carolyn Marie, to James T. McNeill, III, son of Mr. and Mrs. James T.

Urban Horticulturist University of Florida Pruning of ornamental plants is an art best learned by experience. One way to learn the fundamentals is to study the mistakes of others. All of you have seen the once-a-year pruner who, armed with saw, shears and axe, attacks the garden and cuts all hedges 'and shrubs back to the ground. After clean-up the tools are put away until the following year. Most gardeners are just the opposite. The timid pruners are fearful to remove even a single leaf from a plant. His- (or her) hands-off policy often results in overgrown, leggy plants. In between the two extremes is the Shearerr".

Effective May 1 of this year, anyone in the united States who wishes to may operate their own telephone service. This means, on the level of the individual home owner, a person may own his own telephone apparatus and con- nect it to the main carrier which serves his area.

"It is tragic to realize that what was written to "unveil" the eternal pur- poses of God in Christ soon be- came the most veiled book in the New Testament. The rea- son for this lies not in the new- ness of its message but in the strangeness of its form," Bailey said. Those who participate in this study will have oppor- tunity to examine the four major methods of interpreta- tion recognized by scholars and then left to their own con- clusions. Classes will begin today, Thursday, April 8, at 1:00 p.m. and again at 6:30 p.m. and. interested persons may enroll at the time most convenient for them. The fee is $5.00 for the four sessions. A place in the class may be assured by calling the Office of Contin- uing Education: 769-1551, ext. 269, or enrollment procedures may be completed at the first class period. Revival Service at Oak Grove Revival services with the Coleman Family will begin at Oak Grove Assembly of God Wednesday night, April 7, and continue through Sunday night, April 11, of this week. Services begin at 7:15 nightly, and there will be special singing each night. Pastor David Fernandez ex- tends an invitation to the com- munity to attend. telephone bills. He said the hike in service rates would come about with larger con- cerns installing their own telephone systems and tying them into an existing carrier, rather than rent their facili- ties as they presently do. "We earn qnly .58 percent return from our local calls", Gibson said. The larger users carry a large chunk of the service costs because they make more long distance calls, which subsidize local call expenses. Gibson said as much as 41 percent of the use of their facilities is for local calls. The remainder is for intra and interstate calls. Gibson said the FCC has not said at this time whether an individual owning his own phone set will reduce his monthly bill or not. "We have not received any information on this." He intimated that if the rate is reduced, it would not be very much. much. Gibson said the new ruling of the FCC could cost the individual telephone owner as much as $16.00 per year on his phone bill by the year 1985. The phone company official pointed out that on the St. Joseph system, each tele- phone user called long dis- tance an average of 50 times a year 20 years ago. Today, they use the telephone for long distance calls an average of 120 times per year. "The increased use of long distance has been the thing which has kept telephone bills in line and also reduced the cost of long distance calling", Gibson said. Gibson warned that before anyone goes off and buys himself a telephone system to hook onto their lines they should be warned the equip- ment must meet FCC speci- fications and be operated to the federal,agency's rules and regulations. Guests of the club were David Carl Gaskin of Wewa- hitchka and Wheelettes Doro- thy Boykins and Arletha Hen- derison.

The Patrol strongly urges adults and children who ride bicycles to make use of all safety equipment available. Beach concluded by saying, "Preliminary figures for 1975 show that 68 pedacyclists died in traffic crashes as compared to 82 in 1974 and 71 in 1973. The drop in fatalities is encourag- ing but I feel that if everyone driving a motor vehicle would drive as if every child they see on a bicycle- in the. roadway. was their own child, we could expect a la ,er drop in deaths for 1976." the Port St. Joe High School varsity cheerleaders for girls in grades one through six.

The minutes of the meeting of February 10, were read, ap- proved and adopted. L. Frank Graddy, County Controlling Insurance Agent presented insurance plans a requested by this Board at its last meeting. Mr. Graddy stated that he had persuaded the insurance companies to agree to increase the values on the courthouse and.jail by 25 percent and decrease the company co-insurance from 90 percent to 80 percent to keep the rates at about the same level as previous years. Mr. Graddy presented three charts outlining the costs of insurance with different de- ductibles. Copy of the charts is on file in the Clerk's office. Commissioner Money stated that he was going to recom- mend the Board drop the con- tents coverage on the court- house and jail but savings did not amount to that much. After further discussion, Comm. Owens moved the policy with the $1,000 deducti- ble be purchased. Comm. Player seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Eugene Pittman and Ches- ter Smith, F. H. A. officials, appeared before the Board and presented a tentative commitment for the Oak Grove Community Water and Sewer project, pursuant to the county's recent re-application for a loan and grant to be used to provide water and sewer services to Oak Grove. Mr. Pittman informed the Board that F.H.A. has set aside $136,300.00 as a loan and $123,- 700.00 as a grant. He then explained the conditions as to repayment of the loan, interim financing, operational re- quirements, construction, ac- counting and other require- ments as to costs to the users. After much discussion, Mr. Pittman told the Board that special consideration has been given this application and had it not been for the efforts of Hon. William J. Rish, this ten- tative commitment would have gone to another appli- cant. Whereupon, there was a motion by Comm. Owens, seconded by Comm. Davis, and upon vote was unani- mously carried, that this Board issue its letter of intent to meet the conditions as set out in the proposal as pre- sented by Mr. Pittman and that the Chairman and the Clerk are authorized and directed to execute all neces- sary legal documents neces- sary in processing this loan and grant application.

The Finance Officer informed the Board that this insurance is now deducted on an annual basis; that it is being manu- ally. deducted because the computer has every deduction slot occupied and that the pre- sent computer programming cannot accommodate a new classification deduction. The Clerk reminded the Board that several local insurance agents have in the recent past requested payroll deductions and each of them were denied because of this same reason. Dick Lamberson, Port St. Joe Ambulance Squad Chief, informed the Board that if it intends to purchase the equip- ment already approved by the 'Division of Communications for a 50-50 grant, an order must be placed before the state contract price expires; that if the grant funds are not received, the order may be cancelled. After considera- tion, the Board voted to place an order for this equipment. Jim Hagan, Fish Hatchery State Park Superintendent, informed the Board as to the use of his park by the public. He said that many of the campers traveling SRi 71 in Gulf County do not. use the camp because the county road running from SR 71 to the camp is in such bad need, of repair. He said that a paved road would increase the use of the park. The Board said this road is in third priority to be paved by the county; that the Kemp Cemetery Road and Roberts Cemetery roads hold priority one and two, and they are now being worked on. The Chairman said the paving of this road would extend to the camp entrance and to the public boat landing. The Board also agreed to the use of' a. dozer or backhoe 'to dig around an artesian well to develop a wading pool to en- hance the use of the park.. Upon motion by Comnm. Player, second by Comm. Davis, and unanimous vote, the following two ditch ease- ments were accepted: 1) Don- ald W. Rarick, and 2) Martin Q. Gay, as recorded in O.R. Book 64, pages 666 and 667.

Mulren- nan, -Bureau of Entomology, Jacksonville, with reference to renting Mosquito Control. equipment to the county for the construction of the drain- age ditch at Simmons Bayou. He informed the Board that Dr. Mulrennan informed him by telephone that the County Judge :"of. Gulf County, was investigating this matter and that the judge had requested him to come to Gulf County concerning this matter. The Chairman 'said if the Judge had received a com- plaint about the ditch, he should bring the matter to this Board where the proper con- sideration will be given. The Sheriff notified the Board that Arnold Tolliver has been appointed Deputy Sher- iff. The City of Port St. Joe filed its resolution No. 483 request- ing that millage be levied up to 12 mill for the operation of the Municipal Hospital and that this question be placed on a referendum ballot in Novem- ber, 1976. Comm. Player moved this matter placed on the ballot. Comm. Davis seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. The Florida Power Corpora- tion requested a county permit to cross SRS-387 at a point six miles east of junction with SR 71 for the construction of a 250.000 volt aerial electric transmission line. Upon re- commendation of the Road Superintendent, the Board voted to grant the permit. A letter from David C. Gaskin authorized the county to place a drainage structure on the Rowell County Road. The following applications for employment were received: Betty B. Gainous, Gwendolyn Watson, Mitchell E. Montgomery, Thadus A. Russ, Jr., Annie Sue Fields, Winnie Ruth Hamilton, Turan Ikizleroglu, and Carl S. Mc- Clamma. Two letters from Sen. Law- Blackburn. Comm- Money reported that he had worked on a materials list for a generator shed and estimated the materials would cost $2,200. The Board dis- cussed this matter and agreed to consider taking action in the near future. :Comm. Davis reported the City of Wewahitchka had con- tacted him about rent for housing the county ambulance in the city fire station. Comm. Davis moved the Board pay the City of Wewahitchka rent for using this building, as it Golf Team Wins ton Chiles assured the Board that his office was doing everything it could to aid in the Oak Grove Water and Sewer project receiving favor- able results from F.H.A. .The Chairman called a spe- cial work-shop meeting for 6:00 p.m., March 8, for the purpose of considering a five- year road program. The Board received a letter from the Army Corps of Engi- neers stating that unauthor- ized work had been performed by the Board and J. T. Murff, Jr., in Browns Creek, Gulf County. The letter stated that the Army Corps of Engineers and State of Florida, Depart- ment of Environmental Regu- lations' mutually agreed that the Board should remove the fill material placed across Browns Creek, and replace the fill material with a 40 feet long, pile supported wooden bridge or comparable struc- ture restoring Browns Creek to its original width.

Permit Doherty said the plant's big problem was that the input load was varying from the original design. In other words, it was designed to treat one thing and another is being put into it. Doherty said Sylvachem is putting a sub- stance into the plant not accounted for in the design and St. Joe Paper Company is putting in more than the original design called for. He said there was a responsibility by large contributors to the system to bring their effluent to acceptable standards in order for the plant to operate properly. Doherty said he was re- commending a temporary permit for operation for a CARD OF THANKS . We would like to take this means to thank our neighbors and friends for the many acts of kindness shown us during the illness and death four mother.

Robinson, Social Security Field Representative for Gulf County. "The cards are mailed about three months before the end of the school year to stu- dents getting social security checks," Robinson said. "The information on the attendance. report helps us decide if the student can continue to get monthly payments. "Delay in returning the re- port can mean a delay in future payments," he said. Full-time students 18 and over who remain unmarried can get social security checks until they're 22 if a parent gets social security payments or has died after working long enough under social security. Over 700,000 students in col- leges, high schools, and trade schools get monthly social security checks. "Students who need help with the attendance report or information about social security benefits can call or .write any social security of- fice," Robinson said.
