Star photo Men Honored by Resolution Former Mayor Joe L. "Sharit and John Robert Smith were honored by way of a Resolution at the City Commission meeting , Tuesday night. The Resolution, drawn up and presented, to the. Commission by the Port St. Joe Kiwanis Club called for recognition of the late Mayor Sharit for his work in planning and establish- ing the median on Fifth Street from Monument Avenue to the City Limits. The late Joe Sharit plan- ned the decorative en- trance and was largely responsible for persuading the State Road Depart- ment to build it. He was also active in seeing that it was maintained in an eye- pleasing state. John Robert Smith has since taken up the project and has almost single- handedly persuaded var- ious groups to help with making it beautiful. As the Resolution stated, Sharit's plan was "to es- tablish a median on Fifth Street for permanent beautification for this en- trance into the City of Port St. Joe". Smith's purpose has been to see that this purpose is continued. Recently, Smith has per- suaded the City to install a sprinkler system in the median and to assist the Kiwanis Club in planting and maintaining flowers and shrubs in the area. The Kiwanis Club purchased the plants. A copy of the Resolution was ordered sent to the survivors of Sharit and to John Robert Smith and his wife. More Marijuana Found This past week was a good one for the Gulf County Sher- iff's Department in relation to the amount of marijuana re- moved from availability. On Wednesday, Sheriff Ray- mond Lawrence discovered a bed of 136 young plants. They were in a wooded area off the old Apalachicola Highway, s6uth of Oak Grove. Had these plants been allowed to grow to harvestable size, they could have yielded as much as 100 pounds of marijuana. Last Thursday, the Sheriff and his deputies seized ap- proximately 100 pounds of marijuana and arrested two local men for possession. Information was received that a car parked at the Gulf- Franklin County line had a large quantity of marijuana in the trunk. The car was put under surveillance and a short time later was approached by one of the subjects. Upon questioning by officers, he ad- mitted that the car was his and there was marijuana in the car. A large amount of the drug was found in plastic gar- bage bags in the trunk of the vehicle. Later on the same day another man was arrested and another 36 pounds was re- covered from a house in High- land View. Arrested in the case were John Anthony Wood, age 23, and John Roland Wood, age 21, both of Highland View. Sheriff Lawrence also noted that several seed beds and patches of marijuana have been located around the coun- ty and these areas are under surveillance. "We do not intend to let this stuff reach the hands of the young people of our county," he said. He and his wife will be moving to Port St. Joe within the next few weeks. REVENUE SHARING According to Clerk Brock, the City will begetting' its last payment from revenue shar- ing within the next six months unless Congress decides to extend the program for a period of time. According to Brock, the City will receive around $50,000 from the revenue source. Tuesday night, the Commis- sion made plans on how to spend the money. The largest share, $30,000, will be used to- pay for an engineering plan for a complete drainage pro- gram for the City. The plan was authorized about six months ago and is due for delivery from the engineers in June or July. The plan would give the City some guidelines from which to work in provid- ing effective drainage work throughout the City. Eleva- tions have been shot through- out the City and the program is currently being mapped out. The Commission felt past efforts in drainage on an "eyeball basis" was proving ineffective, with some instal- lations even hindering others in their drainage work. After the plan is delivered, all drainage work will be guided by the master plan and its design. The second largest amount, ;:,.$12,000 was set aside for purchase of a new fire truck. A new fire truck will cost the City in the neighborhood of $35,000, but the $12,000 reve- nue sharing funds will make a dent in the purchase price. An additional $4,000 was set aside to operate the summer recrea- tion program in the City. WANTS RATE INCREASE Gulf Cable TV made a request from the Commission Tuesday to increase its rates in the City. The firm has been operatiQg in the City since 1964 with no increase in rates or installation charges. The owner, Robert H. Neu- man, would increase his rates from $5.00 per month to $6.50. He would also increase instal- lation fees from $5.00 to $15.00. Neuman also. was asked if he plans to extend his system into north Port St. Joe, which is not now being served by the facility. Neuman said his only hold-up in this move is lack of a pole attachment agreement with Florida Power Corpora- tion, but he was presently negotiating an agreement with the firm. He said as soon as the contract is signed, he will be extending the service. Since the cable TV service operates on a franchise from the City, Neuman was told the City must go through a 30 day waiting period and hold public bearings before the rate in- crease can be granted. The hearing was tentatively set for the June 15 meeting of the Commission. CUT OFF GAS The City received a letter from the St. Joe Natural Gas (Continued on Page 8) A Day Off Local druggist John Robert Smith has solved that problem which plagues us all at times: time off and nothing to do. Saturday, Smith usually takes the day off from his pill-rolling duties and goes fishing. John Robert is a Bay fisherman and Saturday the wind was blowing too hard for him to venture too far from shore. Dr. Ernest S. Owens, Jr., pastor of First Baptist Church of Marianna will be the guest preacher in revival services at First Baptist Church, begin- ning Sunday, May 23. Dr. Owens is a graduate of Stetson University and of the New Orleans Baptist Theo- logical Seminary. He holds the Bachelor of Divinity and the Doctor of Theology degrees from that seminary. In addi- tion to pastorates in Lousiana, Alabama and Tennessee, he has traveled for the Southern Baptist Home Mission Board and the SBC Foreign Mission Board in South America, Europe and Asia, in evange- listic preaching. He has made five trips to the Holy Land and one 16-day tour of Russia, in the interest of Bible study and Baptist work. He is now pastor of the large and influential First Baptist Church of Marianna. Wally Owens of Marianna will be the song leader and singer for the revival. He is a young man of talent and dedi- cation. He was Minister of VI4 Band Giving P 1 Spring Concert Deputy Jim Buchanan, Sheriff Lawrence and Deputy Arnold Toliver with the hundred pounds of marijuana siezed on Thursday of last week. Monday, May 24, the Port St. Joe Symphonic Band will present its annual Spring con- cert. Featured in the concert will be selections by the Junior High band and a special ap- pearance by Herman Dean, who will conduct John Philip Sousa's "El Capitan March". The Port St. Joe band has enjoyed great success this year, having been rated superior -at'; the' District II Florida Band Masters Associ- ation Marching Contest. They were the only class "CC" band to receive all superior in this district. They also received an Excellent rating in Concert contest, receiving the second highest rating of the day. The band will be performing a varied concert of Bicenten- nial music as well as classic from the modern band reper- toire. There will be no ad- mission charge for Monday night's concert, which will be held in the Port St. Joe Jr.-Sr. High School Commons Area... The Junior Band will begin at 7:30 p.m. and the senior band at 8:00. Everyone is-invited to attend. So, in order that the day not be a total loss, Smith grabbed up his hedge shears, came downtown and started trimming the hedges on the boulevard. This wasn't an entirely spur of the moment decision on Smith's part, since he has been a prime mover in getting the median beautified with shrubs and flowers and he has a vested interest in seeing that it is kept looking good. If more people followed Smith's example, the area would be kept in tip-top shape with hardly any effort on the part of the City. Star photo Music for four years in the Balmoral Baptist Church of Memphis, Tenn. He is pre- sently teaching in the Middle School in Marianna. Young people of First Bap- tist Church, and other youth, will enjoy worshiping as he leads them during the four days of revival services. Dr. Ernest S. Owens, Jr. Revival Speaker Services will begin Sunday, May 23 and close with the Wednesday evening service following. Services will be at 7:00 7:30 a.m and at 7:30 p.m. Monday through Wed- nesday. Leading the singing, and bringing special music will be Dr. Owens' son, Wally Owens. Wally Owens Song Director FIA Agrees to Take A Second Look Representative Billy Joe Rish announced this week that the Federal Insurance Administration has agreed to review the flood insurance level for the City of Port St. Joe. The review will take into account the most current methods of determining coastal flood elevations and could lead to a lowering of the elevational requirement for obtaining flood insurance. The original proposal requirement by the Federal Government was 12 feet above sea level. The Government, after considerable work by local officials, got this reduced to 10 feet. Rish said, "This still is an impossible position for our city and county and one which cannot go unchallenged." The review will utilize a method for determining flood insurance rJtes which. has been used in Pacific coastal-greas. and has resulted d in"'a lowere i risurale leveli; The F:I .' is welcoming submission of technical data by Port St. Joe officials in an effort to assist the review.

EDITORIALS: Religion Is Viable Part of Candidate James Reston wrote a column last week about religion being an issue in the present presidential campaign. Reston seemed to think questions are now being asked candidates which should be shared only in the privacy of a confessional, whether to a priest or directly to God. Although Reston seems to think some of this emphasis on a candi- date's religion is out of bounds, we think it proper to ascertain a candidates philosophy about God and whether or not he is a nominal or practicing christian. There is a vast -difference. The instigator of this emphasis on religion is Georgia's Jimmy Carter, the front-runner for the- Democratic nomination. Carter un- abahsiedly says' he is a practicing christian with a knowledge of the will of God in his life. We can see nothing wrong with that. As a matter of fact, we think this ingredient in a president's life has been too long ignored and not even considered. At least, if a person is a practicing christian and unashamedly claims to be a christian, odds are he will be an honest man who will spare the nation the embarrassment of a compromising president. We have had enough of that. Carter was recently asked on Public television, "What drives you?". Another question posed to Carter was, "How do you know God's will?" Both are fair questions and the answer can tell the people a lot about a man. President Ford has not escaped these intimate questions concerning his relationship to God. In Texas recently he was asked "Do you believe the Bible is the inspired word of God and it is the truth when He says that Jesus Christ is King of Kings and lord of Lords? Are you personally committed to Jesus Christ as king of your life to make Christ, the prince, the standard for all your decisions, whether judicial, legislative, executive or personal?" President Ford answered, "The answer, without getting into details, is yes". With Madelyn Murray O'Hair on the prowl again, we think such information is needed' from the presidential candidates. Back in the good old days, the Legislature played politics with roads, jobs, local projects, state buildings, parks and playgrounds. Now they are playing politics with schools and their funding. We don't like this. In our opinion, schools and their functions are too vital to our present and future to be toyed with by vengeful Legislators or those seek- ing to have their way in educational matters. One of the biggest fights in the Legislature this session is just how much funding local schools will receive. Different versions of the money bills to come before the Legislature and committees have each carried different cuts in school financing. We don't think schools ask for a realistic budget any more than any The people of Port St. Joe allowed 133 people in the City to determine that their representatives of city government would continue to serve two year terms, as opposed to four year terms. Possibly the other 2,414 regis- tered voters felt this way too. It would seem to us that at least half of these remaining voters should have expressed themselves at the ballot box on this matter. The number who voted is hardly a mandate from the people which expresses their wishes in the matter. We're not belaboring the matter of whether the question should have passed or not. That's not important. other state agency. Each request has historically had a built in cut in the money to be received and the ,schools are no different. They don't expect to get all they ask for. We think it hardly fair for our children, however, for the members of the Legislature to hold cuts to educa- tional financing as a cleaver over the necks of education to get certain things done. It would seem to us the Legislature has the power to get needed reforms carried out without threatening the entire system with budget cuts. If the Legislators think as many others do, that education needs to make some changes to get a good basic education for our children, why don't they just do it? There are many schools which are doing a good job and do not deserve to suffer from money shortages to satisfy the pique of a Legislator or two. What is important is that a matter has been decided for the people of Port St. Joe by only 133 people. That is terrible. Suppose the question had been a bond issue, tax rate, improvement of services, a new municipal building or some other important question. We subscribe to the theory that citizens should exercise their opin- ion at the polls or keep their mouths shut about how things are run. Such a miniscule vote alsa.puts the City Commission in a position of not really knowing if the people want what was voted for or not. They deserve a better expression from the people when it is asked for. Reference Material Given Library.

ETAOIN SHRDLU By WESLEY R. RAMSEY The biggest news story and topic of conversation around. these part this past week was whether or not our P )resentative, Billy Joe Rish, took a swing at a newsman in Tallahassee and the reasons for being accused of taking the swing. , Billy Joe will no doubt absorb a lot of ribbing when he comes home for this incident. Most of us don't blame him if he did take the swing. A lot of us are a little chagrined that he missed, if he did take the poke at the Gannett News Service writer. . Already the nicknames are making the rounds for our Representative. A speaker at the Port St. Joe Lions Club last Wednesday, Larry Tyree, president designate of Gulf Coast Community College, said that henceforth, Billy Joe will not be known as Billy Joe; he will be called Jersey Joe. Most of us around here know Billy Joe well enough that we wouldn't believe what the Gannett reporter wrote about him in the first place. I think Billy Joe knows that too, but he's Spring Court Docket Light The Spring session of Circuit Court here in Gulf County had the smallest'docket it has seen in several years, with only six cases on tap to come before the judge and jury. Only three cases made it for Jerry F. McWaters Succumbs Jerry Frank McWaters, 31, a resident of 159 N. Nichols St., Pratville, Ala. passed away Monday evening in Municipal Hospital. He was a graduate of Ocala High School, Ocala, and Troy State University, Troy, Alabama. He worked as a bank cashier in Prattville prior to his death. Survivors include his wife, Mrs. Caroline Taylor Mc- Waters and a son, Mark Thomas McWaters, both of Pratville, Ala.; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Mc- Waters of Ocala; a grand- mother, Mrs. Mattie Moore of Enterprise, Ala.; mother and father-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Bobby G. Taylor of Port St. Joe; grandparents, Rev. and Mrs. W. F. Taylor of East- point. Funeral services were held at 3:00 p.m. Wednesday at the Oak Grove Assembly of God Church, with the Rev. David Fernandez officiating, assist- ed by the Rev. Steven Wesson. Interment followed in the family plot of Holly Hill Cemetery. All services were under the direction of Comforter Fun- eral Home of Port St. Joe. trial, with two being continued to a later term of court and a third being dismissed when the complaint was withdrawn. A fourth case failed to come before the jury, when the defendant entered a guilty plea. Raymond and Martha Smith were found not guilty by the jury in a case of grand larceny. The Smiths were charged with taking household items from the home of J. L. Rhodes of Route 1, Wewa- hitchka. Johnnie Odom Houston of Wewahitchka entered a guilty plea to a lesser charge when he came before the court on a charge of aggravated battery Monday. Houston enter a plea of guilty to simple battery. He is now awaiting a pre-sentence investigation. A second charge of aggra- vated battery against Robert Burl Davis of Wewahitchka was dismissed when charges were dropped. Robert Terrell Granger en- tered a guilty plea before the court on a charge of burglary of a dwelling and is currently awaiting a pre-sentence inves- tigation before his penalty is assessed. Granger is charged with the burglary of Hall's Fish Camp, north of Wewa- hitchka. The two continued cases were a charge of aggravated battery against Falmer Fore- hand and a charge of attempt- ed arson against Edward Earl Williams. LETTERS. * * to the Editor May 3,1976 Dear Mr. Ramsey, My husband really enjoys The Star and has a surge of homesickness every time an issue arrives. I've never been to Port Saint Joe, but find your editorial page quite interest- ing. The column on newspaper mishaps reminded me of a few of my own-one of which was defying a CHP roadblock, which discriminated against newspaperwomen, and at the risk of going to jail, making- photos of a train wreck-only to find, when I returned to the newsroom, that the camera was empty, the previous user having failed to reload it. (He will never live through all the -curses I wished upon his hap- less head!) Your column is one of the most interesting I've read during my 20 years of news- work-I like the humorous slant of your commentaries. Sincerely, Merry Harris (Mrs. John Banks Harris, Jr.) Ocotillo, California (ED. NOTE-Mrs. Harris, the morning I received your letter I had raisin bran for breakfast. After taking a few bites, I noticed what looked like a dead fly floating in the bowl of milk. Upon closer examination, the dead fly turned out to be merely a raisin husk. That made my day. Then, when I got to work, there was your letter, and reading it made my entire week. Thanks. -ED) not real anxious to get such a reputation among those who do not know him better. George Tapper reported to the Rotary Club Thursday that he interviewed eye witnesses to the alleged event and learned the true story. George said the Gannett reporter was at The Trailers with another Legislator. Neither of them knew Billy Joe on sight. There were two Legislators having a high old time at The Trailers and the reporter asked his Legislator friend, "Who's that over there enjoying himself so much?" The Legislator replied, "That's the chairmafi of the judiciary committee". The reporter jumped to the conclusion that the man in question was Billy Joe. The kicker in the story is that there are two chairmen of judiciary committees; judiciary committee, criminal and judiciary committee, civil. The Legislator at The Trailers was the other chairman. Billy Joe has asked for a public retraction of the story and the reporter said he will stand by the story. Billy Joe says he will sue Gannett if the retraction isn't printed, which leads us to believe that we haven't heard the last of this episode yet. I saw Billy Joe Sunday and he said, "I didn't hit that guy, but I sure wanted to. He had no business saying I was at The Trailers when I haven't been there for the entire session. It was merely a matter of him making a mistake and now he doesn't want to correct it". One thing for sure: if such an occurence happens again and Billy Joe is called on to defend his honor and is felt led to take a swing at the offender, he had better not come back to Gulf County if he misses. I was looking back through a 1959 issue for something the other day. You remember 1959: that was the year of 29c ham, 25c picnics, 49c bacon and 89c New York strip steak. I saw that back in 1959 George Tapper and his wife, Amy, went to Russia for a tour. Too, that year, Cecil Costin was fishing with his wife, Margaret, with Margaret running the boat. They were just before tying up to bush when Cecil saw a snake, in the bush. He jumped up and headed for the rear of the boat instructing Margaret to "get out of here". Margaret gunned the boat and Cecil went over the side. Also back in 1959, Michigan Chemical Corporation was operating and the St. Joe Natural Gas Company was just coming into being. It doesn't seem like it's been that long, does it. I'm always behind everyone else. Things get to be "old hat" before I get into the swing with the new gadgets. Right now, I must be the only person in the United States who doesn't have a CB radio. Not only that, but I'm not even making arrange- ments to get one. Trooper Ken Murphy says the CB operators think they are out-foxing the Highway Patrol by warning others of the presence of "Smokey Bear" at such and such a place. "They're doing us a favor", Ken says. The Patrolman can just park his car and even catch a snooze or catch up on his reading while the CB operators slow down more cars than the sight of their patrol car ever could. "I'm all for them"', Murphy says. I'm still not going to get one. Playing Politics Vote No Mandate The March of Dimes Walka- thon held May 8 has already netted over $1,000.00 in contri- butions. More are expected to come in, as walkers collect late pledges. Despite the fre- quent thundershowers and poor weather that day, many youngsters braved the ele- ments for the benefit of the March of Dimes. Kelly Johnson won the coveted prize of a 10-speed bike, donated by Western Auto, for collecting the most money, $200.10. Tim Ard col- lected the second largest amount, $130.00, and was awarded a $25.00 savings ac- count by Florida First Nation- al Bank. David Miller, as the youngest walker, was award- ed a $10.00 savings account by Citizen's Federal Savings and Loan. The oldest walker this year, Carolyn Nettles, was only.19,,and was presented a $10.00 gift certificate by The Sugar Plum Tree Gift Shoppe. According to Mrs. Helen Ramsey, Walkathon coordi- nator, the entire community joined in together in support- ing these courageous young people who walked 20 miles to aid the less fortunate afflicted by birth defects. Special thanks are extended to Saveway Food Store, Piggly Wiggly, Rich's IGA and Flor- ida Boy Seafood for food and supplies for the walkers' lun- ches. Members of the Key Club and Keyettes donated their time in manning lemon- ade stands for the tired walk- ers. Fifteen people each don- ated two dozen sandwiches to feed the walkers at lunch. Personnel of the Port St. Joe Police Department and Gulf County Sheriff's Department supervised the 20-mile route to insure the youngsters safety. The Star and WJOE promoted the Walkathon through free publicity. The St. Joseph Tele- phone and Telegraph Com- pany loaned water kegs for the five scheduled rest stops for the walkers: Everyone should be com- mended for the fine job they did in supporting the annual March of Dimes Walkathon, and contributing to its great success this year. Named to Dean's List A Port St. Joe student has been named to the Dean's List at Tallahassee Community College for the recently con- cluded winter semester. Mariann B. (Mitzi) Hendrix maintained grades of "B" or better in 12 or more semester hours of academic work in achieving the honor. In announcnig the list, re- tiring TCC Dean of Instruction Howard Crews said, "On this occasion, my last opportunity, I would like to extend a special word of congratulations to these and other students through past years who have demonstrated an awareness of the worth and value of attain- ing and maintaining high stan- dards of scholastic achieve- ment. It is a mark of excep- ,tional achievement and is re- cognized as a solid investment in the future. The College and their communities are proud of them." Mitzi is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Joseph P. Hendrix of Port St. Joe. NAMES OMITTED The honor roll for the Port St. Joe Jr.-Sr. High School was reported in last week's issue of The Star, however, three names were committed. Making "All A's" in the tenth grade were Julane Mc- Farland and Teresa Sweet. Lisa Melton, a senior, made the "A and B" honor roll. We don't have forests to burn. Think about it.

It is a time when Christian people try to be and do what God wants them to be and do. It is also a time when they seek to share the joy they have in Christ with others, that they too may find peace with God. WHY SHOULD I ATTEND REVIVAL SERVICES? Because you will meet a wonderful group of friendly people. You will also hear the message of God's love for all men. You will be invited to commit your life to Jesus Christ, and to believe in Him. An invitation at the close of each evening service will give opportunity to receive Jesus into your heart, to repent of sin and to unite with the church.

Williams Construction Com- pany of Quincy is the apparent low bidder for construction of a new gymnasium at Wewa- hitchka High School, with a base bid of $466,990. Williams entered the low bid in a field of 12 bidders last Friday after- noon at a special session of the School Board. Final decision on the bids will be made in another special meeting Fri- day afternoon at 4:00 p.m., in the 'offices of the School Board. Williams' base bid covered only the building construction. The School Board is vitally interested in two alternate bids which would air condition the new building and place seating for 1,500 people in the gymnasium auditorium. This would add another $47,000 to the bid, running the total to around $513,000. Architects' fees of approximately $30,000 must also be added to the project. One of the big reasons for the meeting Friday is that the School Board is under the impression they have only about $450,000 to do the project with.

MAY 20, 1976 Port St. Joe Men Graduate After Four Years at Bryan NJROTC Coming to School NJROTC is the abbreviated form for Naval Junior Re- serve Officer's Training Corps. This is an instructional program designed to present to a select group of high school students the opportunity to embark on an interesting and rewarding experience as naval cadets. The NJROTC program seeks to develop informed leaders with a strong sense of self-reliance, a personal know- ledge of the responsibilities of citizenship in a democratic society, and an appreciation of the Navy's role in national defense. David Bidwell, Superinten- dent of Schools and the Gulf County School Board working cooperatively with legislators and federal agencies were able to secure this program for Port St. Joe Jr.-Sr. High School. This instructional pro- gram will begin in August, 1976. Students in grades nine through 12 may qualify and seek admission to this pro- gram. In order to provide informa- tion for interested students and parents, the Superinten- dent and Board members in cooperation with The Star will present a two-part article of frequently asked questions concerning NJROTC. Addi- tional information may be ob- tained by contacting Port St. Joe Jr.-Sr. High School. MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q. What students are eligible to enroll? A. All students, both male and female citizens, 14 years of age or older, en- rolled in Port St. Joe Jr.- Sr. High School, of good moral character, and phy- sically fit to participate in the host school's physical education program, are eligible to enroll. They will be selected by the naval science instructor with the approval of the school principal or his re- presentative. Q. Who will serve as instruc- tors? A. The Superintendent has recommended and the Board hAs approved the appointment of Captain SHenry Cassani as Naval :Science Instructor and :Commander D. W. Hum- -phreys as Asst.
