The ed new Gulf County library County had filed a hasty building here in Port St. Joe, it application for $176,000 when it was learned there was a was learned late last week. possibility the money was Meeting on April 13 in available and there was only a Tallahassee, the State Library few days left to make applica- tion. Notification of the grant approval was sent to County Commission chairman El- dridge Money by Cecil P. Beach, State Librarian. The new building is expect- ed to cost nearly twice the 0 amount of the grant, but a local citizen has expressed a desire to make a sizeable contribution to the building, which will reduce the amount of money still needed to finance construction. The re- mainder of the money is expected to come from county * revenue sharing funds. The County Commission has already instructed architect Charles Arthur Gaskin of We- wahitchka to proceed with preliminary drawings of the building for inspection and approval by the Board prior to producing working drawings. * 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. High winds and lack of 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 Firemen hose down burning embers from the remains of the Surf volunteer firemen cooperated in their efforts to keep the fire from spreading Restaurant which burned late Sunday night.

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 Revival services will begin at the Long Avenue Baptist Church on Sunday, May 2, at 7:30 p.m. The Rev. Kenneth Harrison. pastor of Southside Baptist Church in Dothan will be the preaching evangelist. Services will be held twice S/ . v.t // Rev. Kenneth Harrison ditches' were causing a haz- 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.

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 said the changes were reject- 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 $2,500 to a total of $5,000 on property of Charlie Jenkins in Port St. Joe and reduction from $8,413 to $200 on Wewa- hitchka property owned by Mid-State Homes of Tampa..

THIRTY-NINTH YEAR, NUMBER 35 Library Gets State Grant Revival Services Start Sunday, at Long Avenue Baptist Church :PAGE TWO I EDITORIALS: 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 1971, 3,297,991 acres of shellfish 1976 ' ILetters. . | j to the Editor I April 19, 1976 -----------:-3 -- f r ^ ^ ^ ^ .> -* ^- - -THE STAR.- Published Every Thursday at 306 Williams Avenue, Port St. Joe, Florida By The Star Publishing Company Second-Class Postage Paid at Port St. Joe, Florida 32456 Wesley R.

The reason for Both sides damage their case this is the Gants have chosen with us by telling only part of the to share their love, lives, and story. 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 red petals. * 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.

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. THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY, APRIL 29, ETAOIN SHRDLU By WESLEY R.

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. Alfredo Duran, a 39 year- 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. Sponsoring Bake Sale The ninth grade Florida History class of Port St. Joe High School is sponsoring a bake sale, Saturday, May 1, at the corner of Smith's Phar- macy. In conjunction with the bake sale, there will also be a bottle drive. The students will be collecting any returnable bot- tles from around town. Proceeds from these activi- ties will help finance the class' trip to St. Augustine. Support from the public will be appre- ciated.

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 were Apalachicola in 1926, Blountstown, Carrabelle and Wewahitchka in 1942, Altha in 1950, Bristol in 1964, Hosford in 1970, Alligator Point in 1974 and Wakulla Springs in 1975. The company now serves a total of 13 exchanges located in Bay, Calhoun, Franklin, Gadsden, Gulf, Jackson, Liberty and Wakulla counties. In 1942 St. Joseph Telephone & Telegraph Company began operating its own toll center in Apalachicola for the trans- mission of long distance tele- phone calls and was establish- ed as part of the National Intertoll Dial Network. In 1954 the toll center was moved to Port St. Joe.

Free Estimates Ph. 265-9443 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. | Equipment'I For the Summer Randall Brady Is back from his stay in the hospital and is ready to serve you.

The speaker said water to the system", he said. 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 have to" keep an eye on it and protect it in order to insure out' supply for the future", he said. I TO BUY? TO SELL? RESULTS?

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.

THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 1976 PAGE EIEVIEN 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: WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Gulf County, Florida, has deter- mined that it is necessary and of the best interest for the citizens of this county to esta- blish a library facility to serve the entire population, and WHEREAS, the Board of, County Commissioners have budgeted the sum of $150,000. in its present budget for the purpose of the construction of the library facility, and WHEREAS, an additional $26,500.00 has been authorized to be included in the budget for the next fiscal year, and WHEREAS, the estimated cost for the construction of the required library facility is $353,000 making it necessary for the county to apply for a state grant in the amount of $176,500.00 from the Depart- ment of State, Division of Lib- rary Services. BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commission- ers: 1.
