New Hospital Administrator Hired


After being without an ad-
ministrator for the past six
months, the Municipal Hospi-
tal Board of Directors hired
David Stanley Dunham of
Richmond, Virginia as admin-
istrator for the local medical
facility.


Dunham, age 29, is a grad-
uate of the University .of
Virginia with a master's de-
gree in hospital administra-
tion. He also has a bachelor of
science degree in Biology and
English education from the
University of Tennessee.


Dunham is a native of
Greensburg, Pennsylvania.
He will be reporting for duty
here in Port St. Joe on June 14.
The new administrator re-
ceived his hospital adminis-
trative residency at the Mc-


S. L. Barke Died Monday


Strafford L. Barke, a resi-
dent of 521 10th St., died sud-
denly from a heart attack
Monday afternoon. Mr. Barke
was born in Philadelphia, Pa.
and moved to Florida when he


was very young.
He was in the banking busi-
ness in Tampa, Lakeland and
Frostproof before coming to
Port St. Joe in January, 1940,
when the Florida National


Bank was opened. He was
president of the bank until his
retirement in 1959.
Mr. Barke was a veteran of
WWI, a member of the Ameri-
can Legion, a director of the
Florida First National Bank of
Port St. Joe, and an honorary
director of Florida First
National Bank at Chipley.
Survivors include his wife,
Mrs. Hazel G. Barke of Port
St. Joe; a step-daughter, Mrs.
Hazel B. Glidden; two grand-
sons, Douglas and David Glid-
den of Greenville, S. C.; a
sister, Mrs. W. L. Barnhart of
Tampa.
Graveside funeral services
.were held at 11:30 a.m. Wed-
nesday in the family plot. of
Oakland Cemetery, Tallahas-
see, conducted by the Rev.
Lee Graham.
Comforter Funeral Home of
Port St. Joe was in charge of
all local arrangements.


Guire Veterans Administra-
tion Hospital in Richmond,
Virginia. He has served as a
Squadron Commander in the
U.S. Air Force and taught
science in the Oak Ridge,
Tennessee public schools. He
is married and has no chil-
dren.
The Hospital Board has
been putting off hiring a new
administrator to save money
in the institution. Mrs. Jean
Atchison, auditor of the hbspi-
tal. has been- sharing the
administrative duties with the
Board of Directors in the
interim.
Since the resignation of Dr.
John Philpot last fall, the
hospital has lost $44,529.34 in
its operations. The hospital
had accrued some savings
during the past two and a half
years, however, and were able
to meet all expenses without
calling on the City of Port St.
Joe for cash donations.
Mrs. Atchison said the hos-
pital still has enough savings
to continue the present style of
operations for three or four
more months. By that time,
the new Doctors, Vijay and
Anila Poonai will be in Port St.
Joe. The new doctors are
expected to again put the
hospital on a pay-its-own-way
basis.


A state field biologist, J. A.
Craft, with the Department of
Environmental Regulation,
attempted to put a halt to the
digging out of George Wash-
ington Branch to provide
drainage to a great part of the
City of Port St. Joe, it was
learned Tuesday at the regu-
lar meeting of the Gulf County
Commission.
Silas Player, Commissioner
in charge of the Mosquito
Control Department, who is
charged with digging out the
ditch, said Craft came upon
his crews last week and
demanded that the project be
stopped until a permit can be
secured from the State of
Florida. The project involves
digging of about a seven mile
ditch to Depot Creek to re-
move drainage water from the
entire eastern section of the
City of Port St. Joe.
Player said he told Craft he
would not stop the digging
until his department gave him
a written order to do so.
Player said he pointed out that
the project has been underway
for 12 years and was started
prior to requirements from
the State for a permit.
Player said, "I asked him
where the water would go if
the ditch isn't dug, and he
couldn't tell me". Player said,
"The young fellow just didn't
think about that".
Player said Craft informed
him he would be filing a report
with the Department of En-
vironmental Regulation and
"you'll be hearing from us".
Player said he informed the
man to do what he had to do
but the County would not stop
*the project until they were
made to do so with an official
order. He said he informed the
biologist the county was not

COURTHOUSE REPAIRS
Several weeks ago the Com-
mission authorized a contract
with Griffin Construction
Company of Blountstown to
remove all the aggregate dec-
orative panels from the Court-
house, waterproof the walls
and replace the panels to stop
water seepage into the build-
ing. Since shortly after the
building was completed, com-
plaints have been issued of
leaking through the walls.
Chief of these complaints
came from Clerk of the Court
George Y. Core who said
water was leaking through the
walls of the vault which would
adversely affect permanent
records stored there.
At Tuesday's meeting, the
architect overseeing the work,
Charles Arthur Gaskin of We-
wahitchka changed his plans
for stopping the leaks in
mid-stream. Gaskin had re-
commended all the panels be
removed and water-proofed.
Tuesday he said a closer
inspection revealed the panels
on the top story did not need
removing. "They're built to

Members of the Port St. Joe Library ad hoc
planning committee and the Gulf County .
Commission accepted preliminary drawings for -
the new Port St. Joe public library in a special
meeting with architect Charles Arthur Gaskin
Tuesday afternoon. Gaskin presented prelimi-
nary sketches for a building of 8,500 square feet;
using the design lines of the Gulf Courthouse as a..
pattern for design of the new building.

APPROVE CONTRACT
In an earlier meeting Tuesday morning, the
County Commission had approved a contract
with the Department of State, Division of:
Library Services to provide up to $124,000 ifnl
grant money toward construction of the new_-
building. The County is expected to match the.-
grant money, dollar for dollar, up to the $124,000 -
limit. If the construction cost is less than-
$280,000, the grant will be reduced on a pro-rata
share. One stipulation of the contract is that the
county must have a construction contract signed.
and the project going within nine months after-
the grant application, which was made on March.
17 of this year.
The County had applied for a grant of
$176,500, with the lesser amount being approved.
DR. TOM GIBSON DONOR
In addition to the state grant and some
county money going into the project, Dr. Tom
Gibson, of Port St. Joe has pledged a donation of
$26,500 toward construction of the building as
well as a specified amount of annual expense
money for a period of ten years. Gibson's offer of
the donation was the key to getting the project
underway.
At the meeting Tuesday afternoon, Gibson
"sweetened the pot" by offering to donate a
large lot on the corner of 16th Street and
Monument Avenue for the building to be located
on. The Commission had earlier decided to put
the building on the Courthouse property, to keep
from laying out a sizeable chunk of money for
property.

ACCEPT OFFER
The County Commission and the library
committee agreed to accept Gibson's offer of the
new location, free of charge, provided it didn't
interfere with the library grant from the state
and met all other criteria of the Regional
Library system. The Port St. Joe Library is a
part of the Northwest Regional Library, with
headquarters in Panama City. The library
committee wishes to remain affiliated with the
Regional Library for the advantages the larger
body can offer the people of this area.
After the committee and Commission ac-
cepted Gaskin's preliminary drawings, he said
he would "get right on the project and get plans
drawn up as quickly as possible." Gaskin said he
would be meeting with Mrs. Jane Patton,
Regional Librarian, in the next few days to begin
putting the facility on paper.

EDITORIALS:




Tax Returns Need


Simplification


Nicholas Von Hoffman, a writer
for the Washington Post and also
author of a syndicated column, has
come up with some statistics which
shows that even the professionals do
not make a passing grade when it
comes to filling out income tax
forms.
According to Hoffman's re-
search, reports filled out by profes-
sional tax reporters show an inci-
dence of errors which runs as high
as 74 percent. These errors are
made by people who make a living
taking care of tax matters and call
:themselves keeping up with the
changes in the tax laws.
; Even those people who are hired
,by .the Department .f...f Internal
.Revenue to assist people. with their~,
tax returns have been found to make
mistakes 79 percent of the time.
Members of the IRS staff hre no
better than the accountants, profes-
sionals and attorneys.
Such errors made by people who
are supposed to be able to under-
stand what the IRS wants and
demands in tax returns would
suggest that the tax laws are too
complex and need a thorough over-
haul. How is the average John Doe


ever to hope to be able to file his
return correctly if the majority of
the professionals can't do it?
It seems to us it wouldn't be too
hard to come up with a simple tax
law which would allow everyone to
file his own return and do it with a
reasonable amount of accuracy. It
would require reducing the number
of "tax breaks" and using a little.
simplicity in the requirements for
paying our taxes.
We can't see what harm would
come from re-writing the tax laws to
allow deductions only in such in-
stances as the present personal
deduction for every member of the
tax payers family and possibly a
very few other deductions such as
catastrophic -medical expenses and:
require the Wage earner ft pay a flat
percentage on what is left.
There would be no more fudging
on deductions to put a taxpayer in a
lower bracket. There would be no
misunderstanding about what is
acceptable and not acceptable as a
deduction.
Too, we can see where a flat tax
rate would encourage more people
to better their situations and would
result in an economic boost for our
nation and its productivity.


There are about 20,000 citizens
murdered each year in the United
States-more Americans than were
killed in any year of fighting in
Vietnam. The U.S. murder rate,
according to the FBI, rose an
incredible 42 percent from 1968
through 1973.
A not-unrelated fact: the last
execution of a murderer in this
'Country was in 1967.
The issue of capital punishment
is again before the country-in the
form of a re-examination of the
.'question by the Supreme Court. The
high court ruled in 1972 that capital
punishment, as then practiced by
the 50 states, was uneven in its
consequences and hence a violation
of the Eighth Amendment's phohibi-
tion against "cruel and unusual"
punishment. A test case again has
reached the court, however, which is
expected to rule on it before the
'court recesses in June.
The high tribunal, in 1972, barely
:reached its decision, by a 5-4 vote.
Since then, Justice William 0.
.Douglas, who voted with the major-
ity, has been replaced by Justice
John Paul Stevens. Proponents of a
ruling favoring capital punishment
are now hopeful that Stevens will
provide the margin of victory this
time around.


Letters

to the


Editor


Americans themselves increas-
ingly have come to believe that a
punishment stronger than prison is
essential if the spiraling rate of
violent crime in this country is ever
to be coped with. In 1972, for
example, 50 percent of our citizens
favored capital punishment in a
Gallup poll. Just two years later-in
1974--64 percent told Gallup they
favored it.
State governments likewise
have shown their strong belief that
capital punishment is an essential
tool of law enforcement. Since the
1972 Supreme Court action, 35
states have passed new capital
punishment laws to countermand
the high court.
Bleeding hearts continue to
worry more about the rights of the
some 500 prisoners now on death row
than about the rights of their
innocent, and already dead, victims.
Those favoring capital punish-
ment, by and large, are neither
bloodthirsty nor necessarily even
vengeful. Rather, they echo the view
of U.S. Solicitor General Robert H.
Bork. Arguing before the Court in
favor of capital punishment, Bork
said recently: "There are some
criminals who can't be deterred any
other way."

Patches of Love


Illusion of the So-Called Poverty Era


BY: CHARLIE WEBB


During the so-called era of
poverty of pioneers much
beauty and care was shown in
the clothes worn.
One luxury item worn by
men were trade-marked Ivory
sock garters. If there has ever
been any such thing as a nice-
looking man's leg, the adver-
tisers of the garter showed a
picture of such a leg wearing a
non-metal sock supporter.
Most men at one time or
another owned at least one
pair of Ivory garters that
guaranteed no metal fastners
would every touch and rust
stain the white calf of the leg.
The mother's love in taking
care of the family's wardrobe
was magnificent. Every item
was often sunned on the front
porch and yard fence. No cloth
rag was thrown away, even
empty flour sacks were saved
to be used as cloth patches.
This was during the time of
large families, and much-
walking. Often families could
be seen walking together to:
Sunday School, and one
church bulletin read: "All
walking trails lead to church


on Sunday."
7 Walking tails were the pig
and cow trails that criss-cross-
ed the area in all directions. A
father and mother walking
along the frost-covered trails


in the winter with may be a
dozen children stringing along
behind with each little tyke's
Sunday best showing a new
white patch over an old red
one was not a picture of


poverty and sadness, but a
scene of the bountiful love and
care of parents and happy in-
nocent smiles of children
along the narrow pig and cow
trails toward Sunday School.


Perhaps one of the erro-
neous illusions within the
powerful fantasies of man
could be the thoughts about
poverty within the wonderful
and simple riches of Creation.


ETAOIN SHRDLU

By WESLEY R. RAMSEY


A lady wrote us a letter last Week, disturbed
in the belief that the Municipal Hospital here in
Port St. Joe would turn somebody out who
needed medical attention.
If the lady had stopped to analyze the
situation, she would have realized her informa-
tion was incorrect. Too often, we are prone to
believe the worst about a situation without
realizing that such a problem in all likelihood
doesn't exist.
The letter concerned me as a citizen of Port
St. Joe. I didn't want to believe our hospital
would be so calloused as to turn somebody out
who had suffered a stroke and needed medical
attention.
I CHECKED
I checked the matter out with the parties


involved. The patient mentioned in the lady's
letter was brought to the hospital by the local
ambulance squad Tuesday, April 27, suffering
from acute alcoholism. Reports to the ambu-
lance crew were that the man had been drunk
several days and he had laid out in his yard
drunk all the night before he was brought to the
hospital' at 10:00 in the morning.
The man was examined by medical person-
nel at the hospital and a local doctor was"
consulted in the case. The diagnosis was still
acute alcoholism and he was sent to the area
De-Tox center in Panama City by the doctor. It is
routine that patients referred to the center check
in by way of Bay Memorial Hospital in Panama
City. The stroke the letter writer tells about
happened after the man was placed in the
De-Tox center.
NOBODY REFUSED
The letter writer also had the mistaken
notion that only VIP's can get into the hospital
without going through a hassle. The hospital has
signed a letter of intent with the Federal Govern-
ment to the affect that nobody will be turned
away who asks for admittance, regardless of
ability to pay.


To substantuate this, read
letter received this past week at


the following
the hospital:


Administrator
Port St. Joe Hospital
Port St. Joe, Fla.
Attention: Emergency Room
I would like to take this opportunity to
thank the Emergency Room Staff on duty
..Friday .night, April 23,. and Dr. Hendrix for
.: : theekindness.,caQursy.and efficiency sown
me, when rushed-my son in after being
burnt from a bonfire at Mexico Beach.
It was late at night and we looked like
vagabonds but I couldn't have asked for a
nicer crew. Thank you so much for your
prompt attention and kindness.
Sincerely,
Judy T. Barber
1108 Morningside Dr.
Bainbridge, Ga.

This sort of letter is received regularly. They
would never come if the hospital maintained a
policy of turning away those who could not pay.
If this were the policy, the hospital would not now
have on its records, $22,000 in debts which were
incurred last year from patients admitted to the
facility, knowing the patient could not pay. Those
who will not pay, even though they could, run up
a much larger total in the debit side of the ledger.
OPERATED BY CITY
Municipal Hospital is operated solely by the
City of Port St. Joe and its people. There is not a
dollar put into the institution which does not
come from patient charges or from the tax
payers within the City. Even the tax payers are
called on very seldom. In the last 20 or so years,
the tax payers have been called on to supplement
the hospital operation for about two years.
Currently, the hospital is losing a small amount
of money each month. Frugal practices in the
past have made a small amount of money
'available in a savings account and the tax payers
are not being called on at present to supplement
income. -It is thought that the hospital can
continue to pay its own way until July when the
new doctors will be here which will give the
patient load a shot in the arm, and, subsequently,
the income.
You see, Mrs. Letter Writer, the people of
Port St. Joe have furnished this treatment
station single-handedly for about 36 years, with
no help from anybody. We think they've done a
pretty good job.
DOCTORS HUMAN
As for your opinion of our doctors and their
services, remember they are only human. There
is only one other doctor along Highway 98,
outside of Port St. Joe, between Panama City
and Tallahassee. There's a lot of people in
between who need medical attention. Many of
them depend on our Port St. Joe doctors for this
care. There are no doctors between here
and Blountstown, a distance of 51 miles. Again ,
there are many people depending upon our three
doctors here, who are already responsible for the
health care of the 5,000 plus people who live in the
city and the couple of thousand who are in the
near vicinity.
They have their hands full in addition to
suffering the human frailties of tiredness, illness
and the need of a few hours sleep at times.

Killer "K"


In 1933, I built a small house
on a hill in Carrabelle. It was
sandy land so I made a road
with oyster shells in the ruts
and was able to drive my
pick-up up to the house. Paul
and Dollar Bill were working
for me and they did most of
the labor. Joe and William
Brannon helped to design and
build the house and we wound
up with no closets so I built
some in the corners.
We had a board walk which
was usually in a bad state of
repair but served to keep the
sand out of our shoes. When
my older two boys were six
and four years old, I gave
them a tricycle for Christmas
and of course, they coasted
down hill on the board walk.


One day, Max, the six year
old, was going down hill like a
bat out of hades when the front
wheel hit a hole and sent him
over the handlebars and into a
patch of sandspurs and
prickly pears.
I was on the front porch and
hearing his cries, I ran down
to him and gently picked him
up. Pierre, the younger bro-
ther, was there and trying to
comfort Max, he said, "Bubba
you'll be all right. You ain't
even gonna say (unprintable
expletive) are you?"
More about these two and
one that arrived after the war
later.
Yours,
KILLER "K"

Metric System


Would Affect

Land Records


The coming conversion of
America to the metric system
may eventually affect land
measurement and property
records in the United Stated,
in the opinion of Thomas S.
McDonald, President of the
Florida Land Title Associa-
tion.
McDonald, who also is Pres-
ident of The Abstract Corpor-
ation with offices in Sanford,
DeLand and Daytona, ex-
pressed the belief that the
transition .would be made in.
such fashion that it would not
cause any disruption in exist-
ing records or any abridge-
ment of rights in real proper-
ty.
"Over the years, there have
been many changes in mea-
surement standards," he said.
"The real estate industry, title
companies and others. con-
cerned with the orderly trans-
fer of property have always
been able to cope with them
'and protect all the parties
involved. The expertise of
these groups will be equally
effective in adapting to the
metric system or any varia-
tion of it."
McDonald said that, in re-
searching land measurements
recently, he .found that our
present system of inches, feet,
yards and miles have their
roots in antiquity. The meri-
dian mile, a unit still used
throughout the world, was
established by 4,000 B.C. as
400 cubits or 1,000 Egyptian
fathoms.
Even so, McDonald's re-,
search uncovered 'many
whimsical and imprecise bits
of history on land measure-
ments which have been in
effect at times. For instance,
there is a direct relationship
between the ground your
home is built upon and- 16 men
coming out of church one Sun-
day morning 400 years ago.
The length of the left feet of
the first 16 men emerging
from that church established'
the length of the rod as we
know it today. It takes 160 of
those rods, -squared, to: makd
an acre, now one of'the more;
common measuring units.
Other early measuring units
were just as imprecise. One of
the first known standards,
established about 6,000 B.C.
along the Nile and on the
plains of Chaldea was the
cubit which is referred to fre-
quently in the Bible. The cubit
was the length of the bent
forearm from the point of the
elbow to the tip of the middle
finger of the outstretched
hand-about 18 to 19 inches. It
was the unit used in building
the pyrainids, each side of
which measures 500 cubits.


By Joe St. Clair
"... and there is nothing
new under the sun." The
above quote is a tragic
statement, yet many peo-
ple seem to be constantly
making it.
If a person is living in
such monotony that every-
thing that happens is old
and "routine," then their
life must be most miser-
able.
If we were living in the
period of history of a thou-
sand years ago, this state-
ment would have had some
meaning. .
Man's greatest achieve-
ment.of a thousand years
ago was the wheel, and his
greatest achievement 500
years later was still the
wheel. But, within the last
2( years there have been
thousands of new and use-
ful inventions. And every
single one of them has been
greater than the wheel.
A person today has at his
beckoning more new and
exciting things to see and
experience than he can
possibly perform.
Someone said: "Digest
every day-break it apart
in tiny bits--enjoy every
moment."

St. Clair

Funeral Home
227-2671


Egyptians also used the span,
about half a cubit, which was
the length between the tips of
the thumb and the little finger
of the outstretched hand.
Other measurements used
during the same time were the
palm, the digit and the foot.
The palm was the breadth of
four fingers (about three
inches); the digit, one twenty-
fourth of a cubit (three quar-
ters of an inch); the foot was
two-thirds of a cubit or four
palms, and measured about
12.16 inches.
"The ancients' knowledge of
astronomy and land measure-
ment was so accurate that
even modern science cannot
improve it too much,"-Mc-
Donald continues. "Today's
meridian mile equals 1,000
Eqyptian fathoms. The
fathom, equivalent to the
length of the outstretched
arms or about six feet, is still
used internationally in nauti-
cal measurement."
The inch, invented by the
ancient Romans, was origi-
nally called the "thumb
breadth" and divided the foot
int2 12 units. Later .measure-
ments-changed the definition
of the inch, without actually
changing its length very
much, McDonald found. For
instance, David I of Scotland,
in 1150 decreed that it should
be the mean measure of the'
thumbs of three men. Edward
II of England, in 1324, ruled
that three barley corns-taken
from the middle of the ear and
placed end to end-equalled
an inch.
Things got so confused in
13th century England that all
land measurements were
made in accordance with the
foot measure stored in old St.
Paul's church and the iron ell
in the king's palace. Even to-
day, standard measurements
of length can be found em-
bedded in many ancient Eng-
lish public buildings and are
still used as a means of set-
tling land boundary disputes.
"Another measurement
-oddity "1McDrbald'said, "con-
cerns thec'poppyseed. In' the`,
1700's, the barleycorn (one-
third of an inch) was declared
equal to four poppyseeds and
each poppyseed was equiva-
lent to 12 .human hairs.
"While units of measure-
ment today are far more uni-
form," McDonald continued,
"certain imprecisions contin-
ue in recorded dimensions so
home buyers and other inves-
tors in real estate can best
.protect themselves by order-
ing a title search and purchas-
ing title insurance against un-
known defects in title. What
many people don't know is
that a title.underwriter will
pay for the defense of any
claim against their equity in
addition to satisfying those
claims which may be upheld
by the courts".
The Florida .Land Title As-
sociation's membership in-
cludes virtually every title
underwriter, abstracting com-
pany and commercial agent
licensed to do business in the
state.

A Fire Razes Home of Jimmy Wilder Sunday


Fire of undetermined origin razed the home and business .,
of Jimmy Wilder Sunday afternoon at Simmons Bayou. -
Wilder operated a marine repair center from the
building, which burned to the ground.
Fire fighters from Port St. Joe and Highland View .
answered the alarm in mid-afternoon Sunday, but lack of
water kept the fire fighters from saving the dwelling. When
firemen arrived on the scene, the entire building was
belching smoke as can be seen in the top photo as firemen set .
up to fight the blaze. It wasn't but just a short while before
the water supply gave out on both trucks on the scene and
while the trucks were re-filling their tanks in Port St. Joe at
the nearest water supply, the blaze burst through the walls "
and roof as can be seen in the photo at right
The firemen were able to keep the blaze from spreading
to olher dwellings in the vicinity, but the building and most of
its contents were totally destroyed Star photos

Insects Can Make Your




Gardening A Big Pain


Insects vie with man for
survival says Florida Nur-
serymen and Growers Asso-
ciation (FNGA). Facing up to
life and the reality of tremen-
dous populations of insects
can almost persuade you to
quit gardening. However, with
the proper amount of spraying
and the right insecticide you
can cope with the insect pro-
blem.
There are a number of
insects found in almost every
home planting says FNGA.
They are the whitefly, aphids,
scale and red spider.
The whitefly population is
enormous two or three times
during the year. The insect is
not particular for it will attack
almost any plant. It is related
to the scale insects. The fe-
male fly deposits the eggs on
the underneath side of the
leaf. These hatch out and pro-
duce a green shield-like struc-
ture. Now is the time when you
should spray to control the


insect.
Red spiders are classified as
an insect, but they have eight
legs. Red spider is only oie
type that attacks plants.
There are six-spotted mites,
two-spotted mites, and cycla-


men mites. These insects have
a sucking mouthpart. Their
presence is indicated by either
small, tiny webs, or a discolor-
ation of the foliage. On some
plants this discoloration may
appear as a grayish cast.


Other plants indicate damage
by a chlorotic appearance.
Spider mites are more popu-
lous during a dry period than
during a wet period. In order
to control this insect miticides
such as Kelthane should be

some question as to the legal-
ity of making the payment.
The County Finance Officer,
Jerry Gates, pointed out there
was no contract with the
Council and the state auditors
had advised him the County
could not join any association
or council without receiving
certain benefits for the pay-
ment of such dues.
Clerk George Y. Core read a
letter from the Council stating
the Council had been instru-
mental in assisting in the
search for a doctor for Wewa-
hitchka under a federal pay-
ment subsidy plan. They
claimed, also, to have assist-
ed Gulf County Ambulance
squad chief Dick Lamberson
in securing an emergency
communications plan for the
service, and had also held
public hearings to identify the
health needs of the county.
The Commission decided to
continue to hold up payment of
the annual dues until a con-
tract of some sort could be
negotiated with the Council.
OTHER BUSINESS
In other business, the Com-
mission:
--Received a request from
the City of Wewahitchka to
maintain 18 streets in the Red
Bull Island Subdivision.
-Received a request from
the Food Stamp people to
furnish a clerk typist II from
the CETA program. Finance
officer Jerry Gates said the
CETA money was used up for

-Received 12 applications
for employment as director of
the Mosquito Control Depart-
ment. ,
-Agreed to put up street
signs in White City, Oak Grove

-Heard a request from Tax
Collector Harland Pridgeon to
pass an ordinance requiring
taxes be paid before a permit
is issued to move a house from
one piece of property to an-
other.
-Heard a request from
Mrs. Monica Stone for re-
imbursement of $327.57 for

Aphids are another in-
sect frequently found on
plants. These insects may be
variously colored. Some are
green, others are blue, while
still others are black. The
aphid feeds on young tender
growth says FNGA. Aphids
multiply rapidly. They need
. not mate as they produce par-
thenogentically. One aphid
can produce several thousand
tiny aphids in a month. The
young are born alive and at
the very tender age of three or
four weeks they too can begin


producing offspring. Mala-
thion is still one of the better
.controls.

Scale insects are very num-
erous on Florida plants says
FNGA. Many types are diffi-
cult to see because they take
on the appearance of certain
parts of the plant. Scale in-
sects move only once during
their life and this is when they
hatch from the egg. Stunting
of plants and discoloration of
leaves may indicate heavy
scale infestation. Use Mala-
thion for control.

discussion as to proceeding
with its application for a grant
and loan from FHA to be used

issue. After being advised by
the Attorney there was a

that no county-wide tax funds
would be expended for this
project.

visor informed the Board that
his front-end loader requires
emergency repairs on the
steering clutch system; the
machine is urgently needed

After discussion, the Board
declared this required main-
tenance as an emergency and
directed the Supervisor to se-
cure quotations from those
firms dealing in the repairs of
Caterpillar equipment and to
have the equipment repaired
by the firm offering the lowest,


and best price.
C. E. Daniell announced
that he is retiring from his
position of Mosquito Control
Supervisor effective April 30.
The Board expressed concern
over this decision.
The Board authorized the
Mosquito Control Department
to purchase a new adding
machine; to trade the present
machine if acceptable.

for employment were review-
ed and ordered filed: Tonya

MacArthur Was



the Greatest


Col. Bobby Howell of Apala-
chicola and commanding offi-
cer of the area troop of the
National Guard spoke to the
Rotary Club last Thursday,
telling the club of the life of
General Douslas MacArthur.
MacArthur, described by
Howell as America's greatest
soldier, was born in Little
Rock, Arkansas. He and his
father, General Arthur Mac-
Arthur, are the only father son
team to receive the Congres-
sional Medal of Honor.
The General graduated
from West Point in 1903 at the
top of his class and served in
many areas during his mili-
tary career-principally in the
Orient-and served a term as
commandant of West Point.
