County Commission Expresses Its




| Displeasure On Several Proposals


Barge Grounded

High winds Sunday night, caused this
barge to break loose from its moorings at St.
Joe Paper Company's dock and end up in


shallow water at the foot of Allen Memorial
Way. The barge had just had its cargo of salt
cake unloaded and was awaiting a tow. Now it
needs a real tow to get it off the shallow sandy
bottom where it is resting near Highway 98.
Two local fishing boats tried to free the barge
Monday, but they couldn't move it. Star photo


In what was probably the
shortest County Commission
meeting on record in modern
times, the County expressed a
concern over several bills and
resolutions before the Florida
Legislature in their regular
meeting Tuesday night.


Acquittal Verdict Directed In


Charge Against Sheriff Lawrence


After a full day trial on
Monday in Tallahassee, U.
S. District Judge Allgood
from Birmingham, Ala-
bama, granted a motion for
a directed verdict of ac-
quittal on the charges
against Sheriff Raymond
...Lawrence,4or. t.king an
American alligator in vio-
lation of a United States
Statute.
The Game and Fresh


Water Fish Commission of
the State of Florida had
investigated the charges
against Sheriff Lawrence
in May of 1974, when the act
allegedly occurred but
found no reason to charge
the Sheriff' of any crime.
It seenied that the ShLeriff
had expressed a desire to
have an alligator mounted
and placed in the trophy


case at Wewahitchka High
School for the' Wewahitch-
ka Gators, and after one
was caught by a trustee at
the jail, a permit was
issued for this purpose by
the Director of the Florida
Game Commission. It ap-
pears that there was -evi-'
dence that this gator would
have died if he had been


cause he had swallowed a
hook which the trustee had
used for turtle fishing.
After many witnesses for
the United States Govern-
ment were questioned,
Judge Allgood announced
that there was insufficient
evid.ce 6f any guilt oi the
part of the Sheriff to submit,
the case to a jury for their


replaced in the water be- decision.


Fire Destroys Restaurant


Fire destroyed the Surf
Restaurant at Mexico Beach
late Sunday night.
Port St. Joe's Volunteer
Fire Department was called to


assist the Mexico Beach De-
partment at 11:30 p.m., and
worked for riearly two hours
putting the blaze out.
Fire Chief Bascom Hamm


said he had no indication as to
how the fire started, which
burned the building to the
ground.

Mrs. Abbie Daughtry Dies


Mrs. Abbie Daughtry,_ a
resident of 508 Fourth St., died
Saturday night in Municipal
Hospital, following a lengthy
illness. Mrs. Daughtry was a
long-time resident of Port St.
Joe, and was the oldest char-
ter member of the First Bap-
tist Church of Port St. Joe.
She is survived by two
granddaughters: Miss Louise
Daughtry of Port St. Joe and
Mrs. Carolyn Ford of Mari-


anna;, a sister, Mrs. Molly
Plair of Port St. Joe; three
half-brothers, Buel Griffin of
Blountstown, J. D. Griffin of
Lake City and Clifford Griffin
of Sneads; a half-sister, Mrs.
Pat Kinard of Sneads and five
great grandchildren.
Funeral services were held
at 3:00 p.m. Monday at the
First Baptist Church, with the
Rev. C. Byron Smith officiat-
ing, assisted by Rev.,George
Gay and Rev. J: C. Odum.


Interment followed in the
family plot of Holly Hill Ceme-
tery.
Active pallbearers were:
Jeff Plair, James Plair,
Grady Player, Bobby Plair,
David Player and Henry Rai-
ford. Honorary pallbearers
were deacons of the First
Baptist Church.
Comforter Funeral 'Home of
Port St. Joe was in charge of
all arrangements.


water hampered the two fire
departments in their fire fight-
ing operations which was
mostly aimed at keeping the
fire from spreading in the high
winds.
Two fires Tuesday postpon-
ed meals for two families,
when burning food on a cook-
ing range caught fire.
The first alarm was sounded
about 11:15 at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. James Ward at 504
Ninth Street, where food was
blazing on the stove. The fire
was quickly extinguished with
only smoke and minor fire
damage.
In the afternoon, an alarm
for the same reason was
sounded at Sixth Street in
Highland View, but the fire
was already out when the Fire
Department arrived.


The Commission was es-
pecially concerned over Sen-
ate Bill 22 which would refor-
mulate the gas tax distribu-
tion and cost Gulf County
'around $108,505 it presently
.receives from the state for
road work.
The, bill would also give the
county the responsibility for
maintaining 41.765 miles of
roads now maintained by the
SState Dejartment of Trans-
portation.
The Commission rejected a
measure which would require
the Supervisor of Elections to
take sole charge of all matters
-pertaining to elections, even to
the point of selecting the poll
holders. The Board also re-
'jected measures which would
,make changes in the Property
,.Appraisers office which would
be costly to the county and
,rejected a bill requiring the
;rQounty,.t assume the -respon-r,,
sibility and expense of housing
and caring for work release
prisoners with less than five
year sentences.
DANIELL RETIRING
Emmett Daniell, the Coun-
ty's 18 year veteran as head of
the Mosquito Control Depart-
ment, is stepping down and
the County Board is faced with
the problem of finding a
replacement for him.
When Daniell was hired, it
was only necessary the County
find a director who had good
common sense, be able to keep
records and manage the work-
ing schedule of the several
men in the department. Now,
state requirements for the
position make the problem of
replacing Daniell a more com-
plex problem than it was
already.
Daniell had planned to re-
tire on May 1, but in face of
state requirements for his
successor, he has agreed to
stay on an additional 30 days
.to allow time to find someone
else. He also agreed to be
available on a part-time basis
after June 1 if a new director
is still unavailable.
Daniell said, "The county
has been good to me and I'm
willing to do anything I can to

ROAD REQUESTED
John Dill asked the Board
for some indication as to when
the Bud Brockett Road in
north Gulf county would be
paved. "I was told it was in the
program four years ago", Dill
said, "and it still isn't paved."
Dill was also complaining
about a neighbor who had dug
three ditches across the road
to slow down traffic and the

ard.
The Board agreed to grade
the damaged road, notify the
neighbor not to dig up the road
again and told Dill his road
would be worked on as soon as
the county finished paving two
cemetery roads, now in pro-
gress.
REJECT CHANGES
The Board rejected several
property valuation requests of
Property Appraiser Samuel A.


daily at 7:00 a.m. and 7:30
p.m.
- The Rev. Harrison received
his B.S. degree from Florida
Stale University and his B.D.
degree and Master of Divinity
from New Orleans Baptist
Seminary. He has held pastor-
ates in both Florida and Ala-
bama. He has served on
various boards of his denomi-
nation as well as in civic and
community affairs in Dothan.

Minister of Music at Myrtle
Grove Baptist Church in Pen-
sacola. He is a cousin to the
preaching evangelist Kenneth
Harrison. Cordelle is an ex-
cellent choir director and an
accomplished soloist on the
trumpet.
The early morning services
will begin at 7:00 a.m. and
dismiss at 7:30. Coffee and
doughnuts will be served in
the church fellowship hall
each morning following the
worship service.


Patrick. Chairman Money

ed because the request forms
were not properly filled out.,
Patrick had requested a
reduction of $3,000 to a total of
$2,000. on property owned by
Willie and Dorothy Floyd o0
Wewahitchka; reduction .of

Not Telling All of


the Story


: In our estimation, the ecologists
are going to have to come up with
some reasons other than their
hysterical cry that a run of the river
dam near Blountstown would de-
stroy the "ecology" and would
condemn the seafood production of
Apalachicola Bay.
We don't believe.it, and even if
we did, we couldn't depend upon that
as the only criteria for supporting or
opposing a dam.
The big problem is that neither
the "pros" nor the "cons" have data
to baclk up their, claims with. The
"pros" have figures from past
records to support their case for the
dam and the "cons" have the word
of the professors that a change in the
system will cause an effect. That
stands to reason; there is no cause
without an effect. :,. .
Dr. Robert vingtp, the chief
authority for a dam "destroying"
(his word) Apalachicola Bay had a
letter in the Tallahassee Democrat
last week which said, "A recent
report for the.National Commission
on Water Quality has shown that by

Make 'em Prove It


We liked Senator Lawton Chiles
proposal for periodic zero budgets
for federal agencies, which he
presented in his visit here Monday
morning of last week: a visit which
was attended by a pitifully small
group of local citizens, we might add.
Chiles would require the agen-
cies to be cut back to a zero budget
periodically and be called on to
justify every dollar they get for the
coming year. He figures this would
save many millions of dollars and
cut out some of the budget padding
now going on.
For years, it has been the
practice of federal and state agen-
cies alike to ask for more than they
received the year before in financ-
ing. If, during the course of the year,
they see they are, going to have
rioney left at the end of the budget
z:.term, they get busy and find things
to spend their money for, so they will
not be cut in funding the next year.


Senator Chilbs' suggested law
would require the agencies to be
called on the carpet before a Senate
committee every four or five years
and give justification for every
dollar they are requesting. There
would be no more of the practice of
asking for a percentage increase
over the past year simply because
the cost of living index went up so
many percentage points.
The Senator, and many others,
feel that the agencies waste much of
their money since they feel they
would have a harder time getting
needed money allocated at a later
date than they would have in getting
rid of what they had and give the
impression of neding that much.
Every agency should be called
on to justify their expenditures
every year, butithat would open up,
an operation too.unwieldly to handle.
We feel Chiles' suggestion would go
a long way to bringing about some
economy in government.


home with retaraea "citizens
of this state. ,
As a result of this opposition
these questions, along with
responses were raised in my
mind. Will the Gants be dic-
tated as to whom they can
share their home with? My
immediate response is no.
Is there a written law stat-
ing the mental capacity one
should have to live in a given
community? If there is, I wish
to be informed. Are they op-
posing because the citizens
who will be living there are
retarded? I hope not. Are they
aware of the bill of right
passed. to protect retarded
citizens? Maybe not. Do they
know what retardation is and


Beautiful

Amaryllis

S. J. Taylor had that
"look what I grew" look
on his face when he
brought this huge
amaryllis in The Star
last Friday. In reality,
his wife grew the beauti-
ful seven blossom
flower.
Last year, the bulb did
its thing and produced a
beautiful exhibition of
blossoms, but this year,
it just seemed to outdo
itself, with its gorgeous

Dear Editor:
In the upcoming County
Commissioners race there are
some very important issues
that should be brought to the
attention of the candidates.
1) A much needed water
and sewer system for St. Joe
Beach.
2) A playground for .t
little fellows at St. Joe Bea h'.
3) A channel to run parallel
with US 98 at Highland View,
with the spoilage dumped sea-
ward to form an island. Said
island will break the sea
swells that are presently un-
dermining the highway that is
costing the taxpayers thou-
sands of dollars each year to
repair. Presently all cars tra-
velling this route gets a salt
water bath on each high tide.
4) There is entirely to mucW-
tax money wasted in each
years budget. Over a million
dollars a year can be trimmed
from the budget and never be
missed from the operation. To
much money goes for travel
expenses, radios that are use-
less and many other items.
There are to many people on
the payroll.
5) A law should be passed to
prohibit camping on the
Beaches and to keep animals
nff the beaches. This is a tre-


There are weeks when nothing goes right
and then there are weeks worse than that.
Last week was one of those weeks here at
The Star.
I suppose, during our history, everything
that can happen around a printing shop has
happened here in ours. Back in the old hot type,
letter press days, we had full page forms fly off
the press and land in the floor, when the operator
forgot to fasten the forms on the press bed and
started it up; we had type fly out of a form during
the printing process and land in the middle of
the page, ruining a section (usually this
happened in the middle of a picture or a special
piece of engraving); we had pictures get in the
wrong place; ads get in upside down, and most
everything which has happened in every printing
.


is not"
Mental retardation is not a
sickness, neither is it a di-
sease. It is an impairment of
the mind or intellect.
The term "mentally retard-
ed" does not mean "mentally
ill". When an individual is
mentally ill his mind is sick,
whereas a mentally retarded
person has subnormal intel-
lectual development, which
causes him to learn much
slower than the normal indivi-
dual.
Many retarded persons who
could make a good adjustment.
to life are denied that oppor-
tunity. Some are virtually
ostracized and kept out of
sight. Too many of them are
still denied association with
normal people, an important
factor in the normalization
process. Too many of them
still have no chance to work
with normal adults, and too
many are being locked away


in an institution to spend their
lives.
The mentally retarded per
son is in great need of what the
Gants wish to give; love
understanding and accept
ance.
Many lives can be salvaged
that are now being wasted or
destined to be wasted. This
can be done only if we take a
more enlightened attitude to
ward the mentally retarded
and their problems.

Gerde Bends Fuqua's Ear


,' Recently a public hearing
^Vwas publicized in area news
media to discuss the highly
controversial proposed dam
on the Apalachicola River.
The hearing was conducted by
Hugh McClellan of the United
_:States Corps of Engineers
- recently in front of the Miracle
Strip Bass Club.
* Sportsmen are debating the
effect the dam on the Apalach-
icola River would have on the
:river from an ecological
standpoint.
J. W. Gerde, a.prominent
'Panama City attorney, has
been an active adversary of


the dam; wanting to keep the
river in its natural state.
In connection with his fight
against the dam, he wrote the
following letter to Congress-
man Fuqua in Washington.
Dear Congressman Fuqua:
Thank you for your letter of
March 25th, advising of your
feelings that a "de-authoriza-
tion bill" regarding the pro-
posed dams'on the Apalachi-
cola River is not necessary,
since the dams have never
been authorized.
It is a shame that the Corps
of Engineers continues to
lobby for this project, and this


is doubly true in view of the
fact that the proposed dams on
the River have never been
authorized.
Enclosed is a news article
from today's Panama City
"News-Herald," that is typi-
cal of the constant efforts by
the Mobile District of the
Corps to convince the local
citizens that we really "need"
the dams on the River.
Ini view of the lack of
authorization of the dams, and
in view of the opposition to the
dam by every elected public
official that I am aware of in
Florida, it is exasperating-


at times, terrifying-to watch
this constant lobbying effort
by this nation's greatest
bureaucracy-the Corps. Can-
not something be done to stop
this constant drain on the U. S.
taxpayer?
Perhaps you can understand
how so many of us are con-
vinced that our government in
Washington has "gotten out of
control," when a dam that is
not authorized by Congress.
and is not sponsored by any
elected officials, is still being
pushed by non-elected bureau-
crats. Thank you.
-s- Jerry W. Gerde


sessing anything physical that
was not shared with another
person. This element was
compensated for by the oppor-
tunity of meeting some of the
truly great men from all over
the world in the close quarters
of a boarding house.
During this time, there
seemed to be more great men
just rambling around through
the country than there were
great men who were working.
This perhaps could have al-
ways been true, and perhaps it
could be true today.
One boarding house guest
was a wood carving artist. He
could take a cypress or a red
cedar wood house shingle, and
through the wonders of his
hands and the beauty of his
imagination, carve with a
simple pocket knife, beautiful
images of any subject desired
lJy the customer.
During this time there was
much talk and many books
were published about the sink-
ing of the great ship Titanic.
Duplicating the sinking of the


Titanic was this artist's mas-
terpiece of wood carving-
exact in every detail, even to
the portholes of the ship,
which were made from Cher-
ri-Cola soft drink bottle caps.
The caps were inverted and
sunk into the wood carved ship
along the water lines.
The artist had a method for
preserving wood carvings
which could have been the
forerunner of plastic cover-
ings. If one would bring along
to his studio, located on the
side porch of the boarding
house, a small hunk of the then
plentiful cat-face rosin from a
turpentine tree, he would mix
the rosin with some kind of
chemical and coat the pretty
red wood shingle with a beau-
tiful glossy sheen of rosin
pitch. He was truly a great
man.

Perhaps all men are great
men because each man is part
of the greatness of Creation.
Yet, each ma;js insignificant
and almost invisible because
of the greatness of Creation.


plant. Since we have been offset, the gremlins
continue to show up occasionally, just as they do
in every plant. We even had a full page A&P get
burned on a plate one time and ran the entire
paper before it was noticed the ad was printed in
a mirror image. If it's happened, it's happened
here.
Last week, we set a first for every printing
plant in the world, I believe.
We had a roll of negatives taken up (20
pictures) with shots on the, roll including a
shower given for the pretty young thing which is
going to marry Eddie Holland; we had pictures
made of Senator Lawton Chiles here last Monday
and several others.
Willie was getting ready to develop the roll
and was on his way to the dark room, when he
-- -decided he needed to stop off in the rest reooron
'way. He smack:-thg' l of'fTJrl in his
r- -pocket and "went int6othe1rest room. When iie
leaned over to flush the commode, plop went the
roll of negatives into the commode and was
e flushed down the tube.
- Some of the pictures we were able to make
over again, but the ones of the shower and the
Senator were just gone forever.
We have had our share of gremlins with
pictures, too. We've pulled tricks like leaving the
lens cover on the camera, putting the wrong
chemical on the film out of sequence in the
developing process, started film developing and
became busy with something else while waiting
out the allotted time in the processing and had it
over-develop, started *the developing without
checking the chemical temperature and had film
under-develop and myriad other things. I
remember one time, I had a roll of film out of its
package, fixing to load it into the developing tank
and someone opened the darkroom door and
asked, "What are you doing?"
I think we came up with a new problem with
this latest "happening" and I'm certain we're
the first newspaper in the world to flush a
Senator down the commode.

I can't figure out how women can hide things
so effectively.
Last Friday evening, I came home and
Frenchie had arrived a short while earlier with a
bag of groceries. She had the bag sitting on the
table in the kitchen and I noticed she had two of
those quart bottles of soft drinks in her groceries.
Saturday, I went home from the office about
5:00, hot, tired and thirsty. There was nobody at
home and I set out to get me a tall, frosty glass of
that Pepsi-Cola I had seen in the grocery bag the
day before.
I opened the refrigerator and couldn't find
it. I looked in the kitchen cabinets and it wasn't
there. I opened the pantry closet and couldn't
find it anywhere, Then I settled for a glass of ice
water.
After a little while Frenchie came home and
asked, "Do you want something cold to drink?"
"I sure do", I replied, "but we don't have
anything to drink except ice water, orange juice
and milk."
Then she hit me with, "We have some
Pepsi-Cola and RC Cola I bought yesterday".
"No we don't," I answered, "I looked for it a
while ago and couldn't find it anywhere".
She snatched open the pantry door, then and
said, "Here it is, right here on the shelf; which do
you want?"
I looked on that shelf and all the others. I am
still wondering where it was and how it could be
so effectively hidden in a closet which isn't all
that big to begin with.
How women can tuck these things away .to
where us men can't find them will forever be a
mystery to me.

I'm so easy to operate.
Pick the operations you want it to perform by touching
the numbers and cycle instructions on the smooth,
clean face of the control panel. It's that simple. Then
push the start button. Solid state reliability.
As you make your selections by touching the con-
trol panel, the solid state "brain" records your instruc-

your cooking program. It's that easy.
Of course, you can interrupt the cooking at any time
to season, baste, or whatever. The Touchmatic system
remembers exactly where it was and resumes cooking
as soon as you press the Start Switch.

Vegetables (from frozen to serving) take 5 or 6
minutes;
a baked potato 4 minutes.

At State Democratic Meet

White City attended the State
Democratic Committee meet-
ing Saturday in Tallahassee,
where they cast their votes for
national committee delegates
from Florida, and for dele-
gates at large for Carter, Wal-
lace and Jackson to the nation-
al convention. Even though
Gulf County's two votes did
not change the outcome, Gulf
County was there to be count-
ed. This was the first time for
Rodney and Jeanette to attend
such a meeting, so they did a
lot of observing.

old Miamian and Cuban re-
fugee, who promised he will
not ignore small counties dur-
ing the four years he will hold
office, was elected State
Chairman.
"This party is going to be an
open party. .where the small
counties and the big counties
are going to be active partici-
pants in its affairs," Duran
told the party's executive
committee which met at the
Capitol in the House chamber.
Nathalie Gray of Bay Coun-
ty was elected Vice-Chairman
and William Marshall of Oka-


loosa County was re-elected
Secretary-Treasurer. Both
won by acclamation.

The St. Joseph Bay Chapter
of the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution met at the
Garden Center Wednesday,
April 21.
Mrs. Tom Owens, Vice-
Regent, opened the meeting
by asking the Chaplain, Mrs.
George Suber, to conduct the
DAR ritual including the
pledge of allegiance to the
flag, the American's Creed
and the DAR prayers and
blessing.
Mrs. Paul Fensom, Regent,
is in Washington, D.C. at-
tending the Continental Con-
gress, and other patriotic
events taking place in the
capitol city during the Bicen-
tennial year.
Mrs. Nobie Stone, chairman
of National Defense gave an
informative talk on "A De-
claration of Interdependence"
proposed by the World Affairs
Council. A number of mem-
bers of Congress were invited
to sign this document, but
Rep. Majorie S. Holt from
Maryland says that it calls for
surrender of our national
sovereignty to international
organizations; and that we
should enter a new world
order that would redistribute
the wealth created by the
American people. Mrs. Holt
went on record as a strong op-
ponent to this Declaration of
Interdependence stating that
it is an obscenity that defiles
our Declaration of Independ-
ence and that proposes that we
participate in a World Social-
ist Order.
Mrs. James T. McNeill, in-
troduced by her former tbach-
er, Mrs. Charles Brown, gave,
in detail, the historic events
leading to the flying of the
"Flags of Freedom". These
flags are authentic reproduc-
tions of some of the more
prominent banners of the
Colonial, Revolutionary War
and early Federal Period.
The "Flag of the Green
Mountain Boys" depicts rough
woodmen from New England
under the leadership of Ethan
Allen in 1775. They captured
Fort Ticonderoga without fir-.
ing a shot The "Flag of. Btn-
ker Hill 1775" was' planted the
night before the battle of
Bunker Hill and it was then
and there that the British first
realized that the Americans
could and did intend to fight.
The "Gadsden Flag" with
the motto-"Don't Tread on
Me" was represented by a
coiled rattlesnake. The rattler
is strictly American-not to be
found anywhere else in the
world. As early as 1751 it was
suggested that we send a
cargo of rattlesnakes and put
them in London's St. James
Park in reprisal for England's
having sent prisoners to


America who became high-
way robbers, house-
breakers, shoplifters and
murderers.
The "Flag of Fort Moultrie"
waved over Sullivan's Island
near Charleston, S.C. The Bri-
tish demanded food and sup-
plies and if refused, frigates
stood offshore and shelled the
town; destroying property and
citizens indiscriminately. The
fort, composed of soft earth
and palmetto logs, resisted the
attack and the frigate "Thun-
der Bomb" was crippled and
left the Charleston area.
The Battle of Bennington,
Vermont produced the "Ben-
nington Flag." Bennington
was a depot for livestock and
supplies, and the Hessians
were sent to raid the depot.
The Hessians were hired Ger-
man soldiers from Hesse,
Germany; numbers in 30,000.
The. Americans carried the
day. The enemy retreated
leaving four brass cannon,
ammunition, wagons, 900
swords and 1,000 stands of
arms.
The "13 Star Betsy Ross
Flag" was made in 1777, and
"Fort William McHenry
Flag" made history as Fran-
cis Scott Key wrote the "Star
Spangled Banner", our nation-
al anthem, during the War of
1812. As legend has it, it was
written on the back of an en-
velope as he watched the
development of the battle.
All of these banners which
were saluted and fought under
had one thing -in common.
They generated response!
DAR members feel that as the
Bicentennial is approached,
that response and responsi-
bility are worthy characteris-
tics of both individual and cor-
porate citizens. It is hoped
that this collection will convey
that thought.
After a short business ses-
sion the meeting was adjourn-
ed.

Special Meeting
of Commission
The Port St. Joe will meet in
a special session Friday morn-
ing at 10:00 a.m.
The meeting is for the
purpose of conducting a mat-
ter of business, but, like all
City meetings, is open to the
public.


St. Joseph Telephone &
Telegraph Company, on April
13, installed the company's
20,000th telephone in the resi-
dence of Mr. and Mrs. A. G.
Patterson of Wewahitchka.
Mr. and Mrs. Patterson re-
cently moved to Wewahitchka
from Parker, where they had
lived for a number of years.
To commemorate this occa-
sion, the Pattersons were al-
lowed to choose the type and
color telephone to be installed.
The telephone was presented
by H. Higdon Swatts, Com-
mercial Manager and Milo
Smith, Service Supervisor and
installed by local installer,
Sherrill Hartley.
When St. Joseph Telephone
& Telegraph Company was
established in 1924, the only
facility it had was one line in
Port St. Joe with a total of 16
telephones on it. The same
year a new exchange was es-
tablished in Chattahoochee
with one long distance toll
circuit being constructed in
Port St. Joe. At that time, toll
calls were placed from Port
St. Joe and Chattahoochee
through the Bainbridge, Geor-
gia exchange over lines owned
by Southern Bell Telephone &
Telegraph Company.
Other exchanges added

Don Watson of Ellijay, Georgia, is shown paddling his Saturday morning. Watson was on his way to Key West and
canoe to the dock at Kirkland's Landing in White City the Bahama Islands in the frail craft. Star photo



9,000 Miles In A Canoe


People retire from business
every day, but not many of
them retire then set out on an
18,000 mile journey through
the nation's waterways in a
canoe after they step down
from the active life in busi-
ness.
Don Watson of Ellijay,
Georgia is one retiree who
took off on such an odyssey in
his specially rigged canoe and
had travelled half of that
estimated 18,000 miles when
he pulled into Kirkland's
landing at White City last
Friday evening. Watson said
he started from Chattanooga,
Tennessee in his craft back in
July of last year. He travelled
to Minneapolis, back to Tulsa,
back to Chattanooga, then to
Mexico before he stopped in
October to wait for warmer
weather.
When spring peeked its
green out from under the bare
brown of winter, Watson took
off again from Mexico and
- arrived at White City, on his
way -to- Key West and the-
kahimas. Watson said he as
in the Gulf of Mexico when the
storm hit recently which cap-
sized the oil rig. "I thought I
might be gone in that one",
Watson said, "But I tied up to
r -an old oil rig piling and rode it
out".
Watson said he will look for


a calm day just after a front
has gone through to go from
Key West to the Bahamas. "I
can make it there and back in
a day", he said.
After the Bahamas trip,
Watson will travel the inland
waterway up as far as Savan-
nah and then head inland by
way of waterways and rivers,
traveling all the way to the
Continental Divide. Then he
will trail his boat over the-
Divide and start a westward
trip to Juneau, Alaska and
back.
Watson said the world's re-
cord for a canoe journey was
7,000 miles, but he isn't sure if
the craft was motor powered
or not. His boat is powered by
a 20 h.p. Mercury motor.
The craft isn't your ordinary
canoe, though it started out
that way. It is equipped with a
radio, public address system,
compass, built. in soft seats,
windshield and many other
comforts of home.
Watson said he is retired
from the puMkhIshng-business.-
(It would take someone crazy
enough to get into the publish-
ing business to try such a trip
by canoe). He said he had a
heart attack a few years back
and his doctor advised him to
get away from, the tension.
Watson took the doctor at his
word and suffers no tension at
all as he glides over the


waters, seeing the northern phere, stopping along the way
part of the eastern hemis- to meet new people.

For over 5,000 years, RX has sym-

disease. The ancient Egyptians
used the magic eye of Horus,
God of Day, as a charm to guard
them. against ills and suffering.
Centuries later, the eye reap-
peared in a form similar to our

its present RX. But your doctor

the job of his organization in The speaker said his agency
planning for future water has to be concerned with the


River

volume from the River system
because they are beginning to
get pressure for water from
power plants, industry, the
Tri-Rivers organization, the
Corps of Engineers and trans-
portation companies. "En-
vironmentalists are also pres-
suring, sincere they want to
keep the River as it is now",
McWilliams said.
He went on to say there is a
good possibility the River will
change despite what Florida
does with their little 10 per-
cent of the system. He said the
City of Atlanta is already
drawing 90 percent of its
drinking water from the Chat-


tahoochee, a tributary of the
Apalachicola. "By the year
2000, Atlanta will need 30
percent more water than is
currently flowing down the
Chattahoochee", he said.
"This poses a definite danger
to the future of the Apalachi-
cola", he said.
McWilliams said it is im-
perative that Florida, Georgia
and Alabama get together and
decide the future of the system
to the bests interests of all
three states. "One state being
selfish with the water in the
system can do vast harm to
the other states", he pointed
out.
McWilliams pointed out also
that the water sources for all
Northwest Florida at present
is adequate. "We are using
about a billion gallons a day
from a supply of two and a half
billion gallons a day, and most
of the used water is put back
into the system", he said. "We

NOTE OF APPRECIATION
The clients of the Adult
Activity Center for Retarded
Citizens would like to express
their appreciation to the Port
St. Joe Jaycees for providing
tickets for their trip to the
King. Bros. Circus on April 22.


By Joe St. Clair
There is a -story told
about a man riding down
the beach on a bicycle and
he saw a young man out in
the water calling for help.
Immediately the man
jumped from his bicycle
and swam to the boy's res-
cue.
"Thanks, mister, for
saving my life," said the
boy. "That's all right, son;
just prove that your life
was worth saving."
You may feel that the
man made a rather crude
remark, and in a sense it is
rather a hard way of look-
ing at the situation. Or is
it? There are so many
blessings in the lives of all
of us that we take for
granted. The cost and sac-
rifices that have been
made for us are so often
forgotten.-
Our freedom was won by
others-and by looking to-
day at many of our actions,
they could easily say,
"Were they worth it?"
It was Goethe who said:
".. each generation must
win anew its' basic free-
doms." In a sense, we
must start from scratch,
and that is a great respon-
sibility.

Minutes .


of the Gulf

County Commission ,


The Board of County Com-
missioners of Gulf County,
met on March 9, in regular
session with the following
members present: Eldridge
Money, Chairman, S. C.
Player, T. D. (Doc) Whitfield
and Otis Davis, Jr. Others
present were: George Y. Core,
Clerk; Jerry Gates, Finance
Officer; C. E. Daniell, Mos-
quito Control Supervisor;
Marvin Bass, Deputy Sheriff
and Hon. William J. Rish,
Attorney.
The meeting came to order
at 9:00 a.m. The Clerk opened
the meeting -with prayer fol-
lowed by the pledge to the
flag.
The minutes of February
24th were read, approved and
adopted.
Dick Lamberson, Port St.
Joe Ambulance Chief, appear
ed before the Board and filed a
report as to the equipment
now on order under the agree.
ment between the state and
county, wherein .the state has
paid the county $15,350.00,
which must be matched by the
county. He said he has $2,-
127.09 that has not been obli-
gated and requested the pur-
chase of a cardio-resuscitation
system at $4,000.00. After dis-
cussion, the Board tabled this
request for study.
Mrs. Lynne Wells, St. Joe
Beach, and James Little,
Highland View, told the Board
about serious drainage pro-
blems near their homes. After
discussion the Board said that
these problems will be taken
care of.
The Mosquito Control Super-
visor informed the Board that
his budget will be overspent if
he maintains the present sche-
dule of covering garbage five
days per week and digging
George Washington Branch
project five days per week. He
said his budget contains only
40 hours per week for each of
these jobs. After discussion,
the Board directed that the
Geroge Washington Branch
project be cut back to 40 hours
per week.
Comm. Player discussed a
street problem in White City.
He said the county put lime on
the first street off SR 71 run-
ning west for stabilization;
however, it has turned into a
dust hazard for those living in
that area. The Road Depart-
ment was instructed to place.
dirt over the lime to cure this
problem and to take care of
the drainage problem.
The Board then discussed
the work at the Sunland Re-
creation Park on St. Joseph's
* Peninsula. The Road Depart-
ment was directed to complete
this work as soon as possible.
The Board directed its At-
torney to call the State De-
partment of Transportation
and urge them to complete the
bridges on SR 30 at the earliest
date possible.
The Board discussed the
roads and drainage in the Max
Fleming development. It was
decided to contact the lot
owners in an effort to obtain
an additional 10 feet road
easement. A ditch system was
agreed upon that would take
care of this property and the
property lying immediately
north of this development.
The Board discussed the
need to increase the pollhold-
ers pay. It was decided that an
increase cannot be granted at
this time.
Preston C. Simpson appear-
ed and asked what had been
done about digging the ditches
to drain the Butler Bay area
Where he lives. The Mosquito
Control Supervisor said that
the State had approved this
drainage project, but is wait-
ing on the necessary ease-
ments; that Charley Gaskin
has given an easement across
his property and others have
indicated they would give their
easements, but have not done
so. He said that one land
owner that promised an ease-
ment has now changed his
Mind and another owner said
he has no problem and does
not want a ditch on his land.
The Board took time out to
check a Department of Trans-
portation easement that may
be used in this project, but
found that the state easement
is about 1,400 feet north of the
required site. After lengthy-.
discussion, the Board request-
ed Mr. Simpson contact
Carlous Harbuck in an effort


to secure an easement across
his property. It was also dis-


cussed that the main ditch
may be constructed to carry
the water west across SR 71
and on across the Fleming
property to intersect with one
of the Circle "J" Ranch's
ditches. This possibility will
be investigated.
The Chairman announced
that the Oak Grove Water arid
Sewer Committee has not
completed its survey of each
home owner's desire as to the
recent proposal; that this
survey will be completed with-
in a short time.
The Sheriff presented a
blanket bond on all of his
deputies with the Safeco In-
surance Company of America
and the same was duly ap-
proved.
Hannon Insurance Agency
notified the Board that the
State of Florida has now in-
cluded the county health cen-
ter buildings in a state cover-
age, therefore, he has cancell-
ed the policy written by his
company. The Board executed
the required cancellation re-
lease.
The following applications
for employment were re-
ceived: Ben Morning III,
James Dady, David Lee Smith
and Richard Earl Sims.
Charles A. Gaskin, AIA,
Architect, presented request
for payment to Griffin Con-
struction Company,- contract
for the ambulance build-
ing, in the amount of $16,296.
Upon motion by Comm. Play-
er, seconded by Comm. Whit-
field and unanimously car-
ried, the Clerk was directed to
pay said amount.
The Architect then present-
ed his invoices two and three
for his services on the ambu-
lance building in the amount
of $998.18 and $216.65. Upon
motion by Comm. Davis,
seconded by Comm. Player,
and unanimously carried,
these two bills were ordered
paid.
The Board entered into
lengthy discussion with refer-
ence to Brown's Creek. The
Attorney advised that the.
creek is navigable waters as
described under the law and
the same law says that such
streams cannot be closed
without a -permit. Comm.
Player suggested that the
Board meet with the land
owner before a decision is
made, to determine whether
or not a bridge will be nec-
essary after the creek is open-
ed. He said that the county
does not have the funds to re-
build the-bridge; that if, the
land owner requires a bridge,
he may be in a position to build
the type he needs. Comm.
Davis suggested that the coun-
ty do nothing about opening
the creek. After further dis-
cussion, the Board decided it
would meet with the land
owner before a decision is
made.
The Board voted to pay its
annual dues for its member-
ship in the Northwest Florida
Planning and Advisory Coun-
cil in the amount of $1,176.67.
Hon. Tom R. Hayward, at-
torney for the owners, pre-
sented a subdivision plat of the
Nook, located in the city of
Wewahitchka. Said plat hav-
ing been approved by the City
Commission of the city of
Wewahitchka. There was a
motion by Comm. Davis,
seconded by Comm. Player,
and unanimously carried, that
said plat be approved.
Mr. Hayward then present-
ed a modification agreement
pertaining to the Gulf Land
and Minerals, Ltd. bond issue.
After being advised, there was
a motion by Comm. Davis,
seconded by Conmm. Player,
and unanimously carried, that
said agreement be executed.
Upon motion by Comm.
Davis, second by Comm. Whit-
field, and unanimous vote, the
Board voted to pay an invoice
to Selig Chemical in the
amount of $394.91 that had
been misplaced. The Board
requested the Clerk notify all
departments that invoices
must be paid currently and
should be audited for payment
as soon as possible.
The Board discussed a letter
from- Dr. Mulrennan, State
Mosquito Control Director,
concerning reimbursement to
the local state mosquito con-
trol fund for a ditch dug by the
local county mosquito control


using machinery rented from
the state mosquito control
inventory. It was pointed out


Cuckoo Koukoulis
Herpetologist and curator of Silver Springs Reptile
Institute, Andy Koukoulis, displays 6'3", 15 pounds two
ounces diamond back rattlesnake; one of the largest ever
displayed at Florida's Silver Springs. Koukoulis must be
cuckoo to try a stunt like this.


that the letter was written as a
result of an inquiry by County
Judge David, L. Taunton. The
letter stated that the rental for
this equipment had not been
paid.
The Finance Officer ex-
plained that transfer of these
funds from one account to
another could be handled at
any time, upon direction of the
Board, and would involve no
loss of money to the county in
any way, as the budget could
be amended to spend the
money under the local state
mosquito control budget;
whereas, it had been budgeted
to be spent under the local
county mosquito control bud-
get. The Board could not
understand this inquiry and
questioned phone calls made
by the Judge and charged to
the county concerning this
matter. The Board felt if this
.was a personal inquiry then
the county should not have to
pay for the phone calls con-
cerning this matter. The
Board felt if there was more to
this than a simple bookkeep-
ing error, then the county
could be justified in paying the
bills upon explanation of the
Judge. After discussion with
the Judge, the Judge notified
the Board that he would
address specific questions of
the Board upon written in-
quiry into their nature.
Upon motion by Comm.
Player, second by Comm.
Davis, and unanimous vote,
the Board approved a five-
year secondary road pro-
gram. Copy of the program is
on file in the Clerk's office.
Upon motion by Comm.
Davis, second by Comm. Play-
er, and unanimous vote, the
Board agreed to disregard
amendments to the employee
handbook made on January
27, and adopt the following


amendments. Additions, cor-
rections and deletions were
made in the handbook, and
copy of such is on file in the
Clerk's office.
Upon motion by Comm.
Player, second by Comm.
Davis and unanimous vote,
the Board adopted the follow-
ing Resolution 76-3, to-wit:

County Commissioners of Gulf
County, Florida, has deter-
mined that it is necessary
