Smith of Indian Rock Beach; Robert Smith of Clearwater and Monroe Smith of Monroe, Ga.; a step-daughter, Lovie McReynolds of Tallahassee; and a sister, Mrs. Lula Kelly of Pensacola.

The Dixie Youth Leaguers will play a 40 game schedule through June 4, with five teams involved in the .Major and Minor league programs. Nearly 200 boys are involved in the program which will see games being played every afternoon at 5:30 and each Friday night at 8:00 p.m. Each team will play a 16 game schedule Port St. Joe's Police De- partment was host to the annual meeting of the Third District Peace Officers Asso- ciation Saturday, with more than 100 peace officers in attendance from an area which stretches from Jeffer- son to Escambia county. Chief H. W. (Buck) Griffin was the host for the day which included pistol matches at the Gulf Rifle Range and various business meetings held throughout the day. In the evening a barbecue chicken banquet was held for the visitors and their wives in 'the Centennial Building. Mayor-Pro Tem Tom S. Coldewey welcomed the visi- tors to Port St. Joe and State Representative William J. Rish spoke to the gathering on the subject of "This Is My Country". Rish asked his audience, "What kind of citizen are we?" He pointedly asked if anyone present could be clas- sified as a pessimist. The speaker said the pessi- mists need to take encourage- ment in this year of the 200th birthday of our nation and look for ways to improve their potential as Americans. "Americans need to change their outlook", he said. Rish said everyone needs to register and vote or keep our mouths shut. He said, "We should be ashamed that at least 80 to 90 percent of our citizens do not cast their ballot in every election." The Representative said there are three common faults among 18 of the- 21 systems which have failed throughout the years. "These faults are alcoholism, atheism and soc- during the season in addition to the All-Star games which will be played during the week of May 31 through June 4. Action will be seen on each of the three Dixie-Youth fields each afternoon, Monday through Friiay in the Minor, Major and Pony League programs. In the photo above, the Major league kicked off the season Monday with the Ford- Western and Krafties playing the season's Ialism", he declared., Rev. Johnie McCurdy, pas- tor of the First United Metho- dist Church gave the invoca- tion and benediction for the banquet and Highway Patrol Trooper Ken Murphy acted as master of ceremonies. Man Arrested Sheriff Raymond Lawrence announced the arrest this week of Walter C. Andrews of Ozark, Alabama .for posses- sion of marijuana. The ac- cused man was stopped in Port St. Joe after a deputy ob- served him operating his car in an erratic manner. He was found to have a quantity of' marijuana on his person, and a search of the car produced more of the substance. An- drews is free on $1,000.00 bond awaiting trial. Revival At Hiland View Revival services will get underway Monday evening, April 19, and will continue through April 25. Services will be at 7:30 nightly. Dr. James K. Solomon, director of Associational Mis- sions, Northwest Coast and West Florida Baptist Associa- tions, will be the revival preacher. The pastor, William N. Step- hens, and the members of the church, are happy for this op- portunity to invite friends of the Port St. Joe area to join them for these evangelistic services. There will be special music provided each evening, and the nursery will be open. Great things are expected during these days of revival. The Gulf County Sheriff Department is also investigat- ing the burglary of three camps in the Chipola Cut-off area near Wewahitchka. The break-ins were discovered last Friday evening. Items taken included guns, televisions, radios, fishing tackle and food. Robert Jones Died April 8 Robert M. Jones, 67, a resi- dent of Port St. Joe, died Thursday in Municipal Hospi- tal. Mr. Jones had been a .railroad employee for 47 years, retiring in 1971. Survivors include one son, Oscar Jones and a daughter, Mary Ruth Jones, both of Port St. Joe; six brothers, Reuben Anthony of New York City, Isiah Anthony of Pensacola, James Wallace Anthony of Detroit, Michigan; S. W. An- thony and L. C. Anthony, both of Tampa, and E. L. Jones of Fort Lauderdale; his step- father, Mathew Anthony of Sneads, and seven grandchil- dren. Graveside funeral services were held at 11:30 a.m. Sun- day in Forest Hill Cemetery with the Rev. Luther Baker officiating. All services were under the direction of Com- forter Funeral Home of Port St. Joe. Check Foundation The State Department of Transportation engineers were in this vicinity this week making testing at the Highland View draw bridge. The crew was taking core sample borings under the direction of engineers, J. W. Cook and G. C. Donalson, shown in the photo above examining borings. Thp engineers told a Star photographer the tests were part of a five-year bridge program to check all bridges in the state for structural soundness. The local tests were stimulated by several malfunctions of bridges in South Florida. In local tests, the engineers are testing for bearing material under the bridge piling and foundation. Tests at Highland View showed no adequate foundation material under the bridge from 77 feet to 80 feet. The engineers said findings will probably determine whether future repairs will be attempted or the bridge replaced. -Star Photo The Gulf County Commis- sion agreed to place the proposed new library for Port St. Joe on County property and agreed to guarantee payment of bonds for the prospective Oak' Grove Water and Sewer District at their meeting Tues- day morning. Acting upon a request from library committee chairman, Bill Simmons, the Board agreed to. make space avail- able T6r the new'library-here in Port St. Joe on the corner of their property facing Fifth Street. The library committee asked for approximately two acres at the intersection of Knowles Avenue and Fifth Street, with the possibility of building the new facility on the east side of the canal which flows through the Courthouse site near this point. Simmons also asked the Board to authorize architect Charles Arthur Gaskin to pro-' ceed with preliminary plans for the building. The Board agreed unani- mously to both requests. OAK GROVE In the matter of the Oak Grove Water and Sewer Dis- trict, the County has been told they or someone must guaran- tee $3,700 per year for repay- ment of. a loan which FHA will advance for construction of the system When the Farmer's Home' Administration agreed to fur- nish a cash grant and loan for the project, they based their repayment requirements and estimated customer charges on a volumn of 170 customers. Tite community has only 140 potential customers, leaving it 30 short of the FHA revenue projections. The Board made it clear they do not expect to use county money to make any of the payments, but will pass the extra charge on to the Oak Grove residents. In order for FHA to provide the loan, however, some guaranteed source of revenue must be pledged to the bond payments. The County will, in effect, be endorsing a note for Oak Grove. At the meeting Tuesday, Eugene Pittman, area repre- sentative for FHA, told thb. Board that payment of the first bond would not be due until two years after the system is installed. "By this time, there is a good possibil- ity there will be more cuto- mers in Oak Grove and the surcharge will not have to be made to present customers". With the County Board's action, the system is now "on go". To give their guarantee of repayment, the Commission pledged a portion of their share of Race Track funds as collateral for the loan. OTHER BUSINESS In other business, the Board: -Approved the bond of A. H. Stafford as a member of the Highland View Water District. -Agreed to sign leases with St. Joe Paper Company for land being used as land QIL areas. Five of the six county land fill sites are on SJPC lan(f at no cost, except for this taxes. -Discussed a dog problen at Lands' Subdivision andt instructed the complaining citizens to file a complaint with the Sheriff's Departmentj -Agreed to let the Historic cal Society use the Count]E float for a Bicentennial Cele bration the week end of Julyj 4. -Gave Albert Thames and: his secretary permission tir attend a Veterans Service Officer conference in Daytoni Beach the week of May 7. E -Were given permission tj repair a bridge at Red Bull Island. -Received notification from Finance Officer Jerry Gates that the budget for the Supervisor of -Elections was depleted and some bills need- ed to be paid. The Board paid the bills and asked Gates to make the necessary arrange- ments to put the budget in order. Chiles Stumping Here Monday Sen. Lawton Chiles will be in Port St. Joe this Monday, April 19, to kick off his Gulf County re-election drive. Sen.

IThe Spring holiday comes in the ;midst of the season of the miracle of birth and re-birth following a -long period of dormancy and regression. Recently, we heard a preacher Has.j the question of his congregation, -:"What do think was the greatest .miracle of Jesus Christ?" To some, 'one of the greatest miracles was -healing a blind man with a handful -of mud. There have not been many 'men to do this either before or after ,Christ, so this could be termed a !great miracle. Then there was the 'time He healed a lame man by :merely telling him to get up and .walk. Again, the. men throughout :history who have accomplished this ,feat are missing. There are a.host pf people who -will give you a stiff- argument -that 'the feat of Christ, when he walked up ?to Lazarus' tomb and said, "Laza- rus, come forth!" When Lazarus, who had been dead long enough to be stinking, came forth from the tomb, that had to be the show stopper of that season in the land of the Jews. Nobody can lay claim to having pulled off a miracle such as this. Raising men from the dead has to be in the running for the title of "miracle of the age". In our opinion, Jesus' ability to raise men from the dead was only a sort of side affect to the real miracle. The first four books of the New-Testament tell us about what we believe is the greatest miracle- the miracle of providing salvation for sinful man. As we say, some other man in history may have made a blind man see; he may have made a cripple walk. Someday, a man may be brought back from the dead, even after he has started stinking. The Bible tells us, though, and we believe it, when it says, "No man cometh unto the father but by me."'' One way and one way only for -a - man to be in the family of God. One way makes it a miracle. Since man's only hope for the hereafter is to be in the family of God, then Jesus' sacrifice, noted on Easter morning, is the most important miracle for man ever performed. Republicans Select Officers At a recent meeting of Gulf County Republicans at the home of Mr. of Mrs. Stiles Brown of Monument Ave.,4he following officers were named to serve the Republican Party -and all of the people of Gulf County: Stiles Brown, Chair- man; Lynne J. Wells, Vice- chairman; Sue Weeks, ViKtg- chairman; Leonore Johnsen, secretary and Lloyd R. Ethe- ridge, Treasurer. A busy program of activities is being planned for the c9m- ing fall elections. Potential candidates for various Gulf County offices are being dis- cussed, so that it will be pos- sible for all of the people of Gulf County to really have a choice in the general election in November. All Republican candidates will clearly state their convic- tions on the issues. ETAOIN SHRDLU By WESLEY R. RAMSEY A person doesn't have to be a fisherman to know it's getting close to fish bedding time here in Gulf County. With the rivers flooded, the main attention is being given to Lake Wimico and Dead Lakes. Already I have heard of a bed being found and, I tell you, it sets me afire to go. I have never fished on a bed, but I still have hopes of getting on one some of these days. Even if I do happen to get on a bed, I don't think I could sit there and pull in fish by the ice box full. A mess is enough for me. The only reason I want to get on a bed is to go on one fishing trip where a fish bites just as fast as you put the hook in the water. With the warm weather we are now having it won't be long until the best thing a man can do is load up his poles and head for the water. Fire Burns Over' 450 Acres Sun. A woods fire, .believe inten- tionally set Saturday evening, four miles east of McNeil's Landing in Gulf County, con-' sumed over 450 acres of forest woodlands. Firefighters from Gulf, Bay and Franklin coun- ties finally contained the blaze late Sunday night. Inaccessible areas,. dense swamps, bogs and nightfall accounted for the large S amount of acreage lost. ,Forest investigators and local law enforcement agen- cies were at the scene and a complete investigation is now Sin progress. Pictured at left are James T. McNeill, land owner and Ranger Supervisor Bud Schmitt as they evaluate tim- Sber damage from the fire. McNeill said that since the fire was apparently deliber- ately set, there will be no fish baiting allowed in the burned ared. If you want to get in some fishing in your lifetime, you had better do it now. I read in the papers the other day where sometime Saturday, the four billionth person was born into this world. It will soon be too crowded to fish or do anything else. When they're biting in Gulf County one already has a hard time getting to an isolated spot where he can enjoy himself. As a matter of fact, one has a hard time getting to a place where he can unload his boat and park his car after the boat has been unloaded. You can't get on any body of water in Gulf County these days, when the fish are biting, without threading your way between the boats and people. I see where some of the people of Mexico Beach are going to "seceed" from the city. They claim the taxes they are being asked to pay are too high for the services they are getting. Isn't this true everywhere? -* : I feel for the people of Mexico Beach who are. trying to build a family type community with. the. services they need. One thing is for sure, there is no way to have the services unless you provide them yourself or get them with tax money. It has been my experience through the years, that the ones Who howl the loudest about the services they deserve are the ones who yell the loudest when they are asked for the taxes to pay for the services. It's an old and familiar cliche, but, "There's no free lunch". There's one thing for sure, unless the gripers at Mexico Beach (whichever side they are on) begin to-try to work out their differences without wanting their own way in everything, they will never grow and prosper. They will always be a little spot on the Gulf shore, out of the way and just getting by. People don't like to come where there is an eternal fight going on. It's easy to say these things about someone else, but they can easily be said about our own Gulf County, also. Ever since I have been here in Gulf County, both ends have fought with each other. There haven't been too many blows traded, but the verbal slugging has gone on incessantly. If one end gets something from government, the other end thinks it should have the same, whether they really need it or not. If something is put in one school, the other end raises sand for the same. If a service or facility is built with tax-payers money, the other end thinks it deserves the same. This just isn't so. The needs of each end of our county are different due to the number of people, the natural resources, the topography of the land and the economic stimuli. Just like Mexico Beach will never grow and reach its potential as long as it bickers, so will Gulf County never reach its potential so long as there is a "North Gulf County" and a "South Gulf County". And, at times, I am just as guilty of this attitude as anybody. Scientists say there is definitely a monster of Loch Ness. They say they have made underwater pictures of the "monster" and can now document the fact that it is definitely there. The last time I went to Lake Wimico, I saw a monster or two there, and given a few more years, he may be as big as the monster in Loch Ness. The Lake Wimico monster is an alligator and there isn't just one there are many. They aren't all small, either. Many are as large as the monsters we used to see in the Tarzan movies years ago. For several years now, we have protected the alligator. In a few more years, the people who invade the habitat of the alligator may be the endangered species rather than the scaly hide monster. The Leon County School Board Shs a program going which we think wIxuld be beneficial for the Gulf j County School Board to adopt. The B ard enlists a task force of Sblisinessmen from the community to 'seek a solution to the many prob- 4lems which can be-devil an opera- tibn of this size. o School Boards and other phases :of local government are operated by -elected officials and professionals :who, by and large, have no business 'experience and they can get into some pretty hairy situations through no' fault of their own. In- Leon County, the School SBoard has asked the Chamber of Commerce to set up a task force of businessmen who have expertise in various fields to study their system periodically and make recommen- dation's for improvements. A questionnaire is sent out directly to the teachers. The teach- ers are asked to respond anony- mously to such questions "as the repair of their classroom, supplies available, quality of supplies, effec- tiveness of the cleaning service and even the ability of management. All questionnaires are turned in un- signed,,to encourage the teachers to be perfectly candid in their observa- tions. This isn't an, experiment with Leon County this time around. They conducted such an investigation two years ago and had such good results, both in saving money and more effective use of the tools available, that it is being conducted again. The businessmen's committee inspects the effectiveness and costs of such items as inventory, transpor- tation, maintenance and the school lunch program. In the last survey, recommenda- tions by the committee saved the school program more than $1 million in the first year alone. We envision, that if such a program were tried here in Gulf County, we could possibly save several thousands of dollars in operations in spots which are not apparent to the school management. The same program might also prove effective in other govern- mental operations in the county. We'd like to see it given some thought. Speaks to Lions Club Salley Bond, unit chairman of the American Cancer Soci- ety, spoke to the Port St. Joe Lions Club Wednesday on the most common internal cancer among adult men and women; that being cancer of the colon and rectum. Mrs. Bond told the Lions that there will be 75,000 new cases of this type cancer this year and about 46,000 deaths. she went on to explain how most of these deaths are avoidable as are most of the suffering and handicaps caus- ed by the disease if all men and women in the US over the age of 40 had a procto regu- larly. Procto is short for an exam- ination with a protosigmoido- scope, a slim, lighted tube through which your doctor can look directly inside the rectum and lower bdwel. If this exam- ination was carried out on a regular yearly basis, the ma- jority of these cancers could be found early enough for cure. And, in many cases, the cure can be accomplished because the doctor can both see and remove localized can- cers through the scope before there are any symptoms. The Lions also received a film on the subject after which Mrs. Bond finished the pro- gram by explaining that there is only one other cancer as easily detected as rectum and lower bowel cancer because of the use of the procto, that being cancer of the uterus, once the leading cause of female cancer deaths in the US.

People, Natural Gas & Safety Natural gas supplies vitally needed energy to thousands of homes, businesses and indus- tries in Florida. Energy, whether it be in the form of gas, electricity, oil, water, etc., when un- controlled can be dangerous. Even though a record for safe operations has been established over the years by the regulated gas industry, knowledge of the information con- tained in this ad can assist you in recognizing a potentially hazardous condition and take appro- priate action to safeguard life and property. Q. What Are Some Of The. Characteristics Of Natural Gas A User Should Know? A. Natural gas is a mixture of hydrocarbons composed mainly of methane and exhibits the following characteristics: 1. Odorless--an odor is added to this gas. 2. It is lighter than air and if released will rise into the atmosphere unless trapped. 3. It is nontoxic. However, as with any burn- ing process, incomplete combustion will form carbon monoxide which is toxic. 4. It is colorless. " 5., It has a flammability range of from four percent to 14 percent (approximate values by volume of gas to air). Q. Is Natural Gas Dangerous? A. Gas, like all forms of energy, is capable of doing damage and must be used properly. However, the experience with natural gas use shows it to be more safe than other energy sources which you use in your home or busi- ness. Q. What Should You Know About Gas Odor? A. 1.

If a strong odor is detected in a building and-or a hissing sound is heard-do not operate electrical switches, lights or other devices; do evacuate the building leaving exit doors open on your way out, warn per- sons to stay clear of the building and call the fire department and gas company im- mediately from another location. 4. If the odor of gas is detected outside (in the. yard, at the sidewalk, etc.)-immediately call the gas company. SAFETY IS YOUR BUSINESS. Educate your family and.friends about the precautions to take when they believe they smell the odor of gas.

T. H. Stone Memorial Park, on St. Joseph Peninsula, is on the improvement list, with rest room facilities and a picnic area to be constructed at the boat ramp. Current projects are the cul- mination of almost two years of effort, according to Mike Bullock, parks design super- visor for DNR's Division of Recreation and Parks. "It takes about 18 to 20 months from the time funds are ap- proved until we complete con- struction. Land use planning and architectural design of the buildings are necessary steps before actual building takes place," he explained. Potatoes should be smooth and clean when bought. Do not buy any that show the slightest amount of green; they are likely to be bitter., Legal Ads NOTICE OF REGULAR ' MUNICIPAL ELECTION Notice is hereby given that the first primary of the election or the following will be held at the City Hall Fire Station in the City of Port St. Joe, Florida, on Tuesday, May 11, 1976: One Commis- sioner .Group.Three (111) and One Com. m 'ssoner Grodp Fo0r'(IV): The sPotts will open at 7:00 A.M. and will close at 7:00 P.M., E.D.T.

THURSDAY, APRIL 15, 1976 Jaycees Bringing Circus to Town Early on Circus Day, hun- dreds of senior citizens and youngsters normally rush to the circus grounds to witness a sight that is unusual in any city, the setting up of the big tent. Though the King Bros. Cir- cus that is coming to Port St. Joe next week on Thursday, April 22, has streamlined its physical might mechanically, the elephants yet play a major role in setting up and tearing down a circus. They pull up the giant center poles, then repeat the pulling job by doing the same to the vast spread of canvas. They push big circus vans and wild animal dens into their locations and do jobs that can be done more quickly by brute force than can be done mechanically. Lois, a four-ton East Indian elephant has the most unusual chore, feeding the elephants by carrying bales of hay to the elephant stakeline, breaking the haywire band and serving each its allowed share. It might also be said, "She never for- gets to take the lion's share for herself." Sponsored by the Port St. Joe Jaycees, the circus pro- mises to present a great array of acts and features ever as- sembled by the football sta- dium ,giving performances at 4:30 and 8:00 p.m. Miss Donna Dee will put tons of elephants through their paces when King long list of trained animal acts to highlight the under-canvas performance Bros.

Florida By Joe St. Clair They say all humans act or react in three different ways. We act as an adult, a child, or as a parent. The way we act is entirely up to us. These three courses are each important and neces- sary. But most important is that we act the right way, at the right time. In other words, we need to be adults at times and not children. There are times when we should act like children and we insist on playing the adult role. Think for a minute be- fore you act. Choose the kind of person you are going to be, and there will be less reasons for re- morse. OUR THOUGHT TO RE- MEMBER: Give us the wisdom to be what we should be, not what we' would like to be.

Abbot covers 16 counties in in the state of Florida is now a this area, instructing officers trained person who is equipp- on what they can and cannot ed with knowledge as well as a gun and baton to enforce the* law. Abbot said enforcement of Highway Fatality Rate Low Preliminary traffic accident statistics for 1975 show that for the first time, Florida's mile- age death rate is below the national average, the Florida Highway Patrol said this week. Colonel Eldrige Beach, pat- rol director said, "Not only is our state below the national average in deaths per 100 mil- lion vehicle miles, 3.2 against 3.5, but the 1975 state rate is the lowest on record. The rate dropped 13.5 percent under 1974." Patrol records show that in 1975 there were 1,822 fatal traffic accidents which killed 2,040 persons. Of those killed, 789 were killed in urban areas while 1,251 were killed on rural roads. There were 93,459 injured in the urban areas out of a total of 154,728. Higher speeds in the rural areas accounted for the fact that a larger percent of '"those killed were on out-of- town roads while the larger number of those injured were on urban streets. Totals generally dropped in 1975 compared to 1974 as fol- lows: Total accidents-down from 283,438 to 283,086; fatal accidents-down from 1,986 to 1,822; deaths-down from 2,270 to 2,040; injuries-up from 145,247 to 154,728. There were 477 pedestrians and 69 pedalcyclists killed in traffic crashes in 1975. More traffic accidents oc- curred in December than any other month with August hav- ing the fewest. More accidents occurred on Friday; however, more people were killed on Saturday. The statistics also pointed out that most traffic accidents occurred between 4:00 and 5:00 p.m. while more fatal accidents happened between 8:00 and 9:00 p.m. New Adventure In Writing!

"A professional criminal is the best con artist in the world", the speaker said. "He could convince almost any- body he was a changed person and deserved parole when in reality he is already scheming up some devilment to get into." Abbot said that in some areas, Sheriff and local police forces work hand in hand without jealousy and competi- tion. "This is as it should be", he said, "Both arms of the law are paid by the tax payers to, do the same job and they should try to give the tax payer his money's worth, rather than go after publicity for their departments." Abbot said it is now difficult to convict a criminal and send him to jail. "I can see where we are swinging toward the areas of responsibility, how- ever and possibly, in the near future, a person will have to pay for his acts once again." Abbot said the high rate of crime would never be solved until people began to get back more to the teachings of the Bible and Jesus Christ. "He had the only answer for keep- ing a person out of a life of .crime in the first place", Abbot'said in conclusion. Guests of the club were Port St. Joe Police Chief H. W.
