on their agenda include: Some
increase in salary (the tea-

to maintain discipline in the
classroom and a better pupil-

School Board, students will

graduate and earn the desig-
nation of honor students in
Gulf County schools beginning
with the 1977-78 school year.
The committee presented
their recommendations to the
regular meeting of the Board
last Tuesday night and asked
that curriculum requirements


be enlarged to provide more
language arts, mathematics
and social, studies for gradua-
tion. They recommended at
least three years of language
arts in grades 10-12. Require-
ments are now two subjects in
this field. New stipulations
would have a student earn two
credits in math rather than
one.as is now the case. Gradu-
ates would also be required to
take at least two credits of
social studies for graduation.


Graduating seniors would
still be required to earn 15

The City Commission took
an unusual step Tuesday night
in their regular meeting, when
an ordinance was introduced
for a first reading, requiring
all employees of the munici-
pality to live within the city
limits.
The new ordinance, of
course, applies to new hires.
Any employees who may now
live outside the city will not be
affected by the new ordinance,
but any new hires will be
required to live within the
city.
The new ruling calls for new
employees to be hired from
within the city limits, except
for specialists, who may not
be available at the time they
are needed. These specialists,
when hired, will be expected

to move to Port St. Joe as soon
as possible.
The Commission felt that, if
a person is to be paid a salary
from city tax money, the
community should receive the
benefits of his residence.
The new ordinance will be
read again and adopted at the
meeting of July 6.
GRANT INCREASE
After considering a change
to an ordinance for the past
month, the Commission al-
lowed an alteration, Tuesday
night, in an ordinance which
would dictate changes in the
ruling governing the Gulf
Cable TV franchise within the
City. The change allows the
service to increase its service
rates by $1.00 a month, and
allows the firm to assess an
installation fee of up to $25.00.
The firm says it does not plan
to make the $25.00 charge
except in extreme cases.
As a condition for granting
the rate increase, the Com-
mission wanted the service
extended to North Port St.
Joe. The owner, Robert New-
man, said he was already
making plans to do so when he
can reach a pole agreement
with Florida Power Corpora-
tion for attaching his cables to
their poles.
HOUSING UNITS
The City was advised by
HUD, a government agency,
this week, that as a condition
of receiving any future Block
-Grant money from their de-
partment, the City would have
to get into or authorize some-
one else to furnish low rent
housing, under the Housing
Assistance Plan.
Mike Wright, new City
Clerk, said he had checked the
edict out with the Northwest
Florida Planning and Advi-
sory Council and learned HUD

HUD has already approved
approximately $90,000 for im-
provements of recreational
facilities in minority pand un-
derprivileged areas, but that
the funds would be held up
until some positive action is
taken on the housing matter.
In December, the Commis-
sion named its clerk, Charles
Brock as Housing Director,
when told by HUD such a
director was needed, but the
Board had no intentions their
of getting into the housing
business.
Attorney William J. RisIk

AbilityAlone Should



be Criteria


S Jimmy Carter got where he is by
doing things others hadn't tried to do
before in his campaign. In the first
-place, he tried to secure the nomina-
*tion, even though he was a south-
"erner. This hadn't been done before;
but Jimmy did it.
Carter must be pretty sure of
himself now that he has enough
delegate votes and pledges under his
arm to secure his nomination in the
convention next month. With the
winning vote in your pocket, we
suppose a person can afford to be a
little independent.
With Hubert Humphrey and
Teddy Kennedy in the wings, we
think Carter should continue to
'deport hiniief just at if he were
looking for that first vote.,
Evidently he thinks this, too.
It appears to us to be the move of
a politician to publicly make the
statement he would consider a
woman or a black as his running
mate. When he mentions the name of
a couple of black women, he has
displayed a stroke of genius; to
some people not to us.
Mind you, we don't oppose a
woman or a black being vice
president. We just deplore the fact


that a candidate may be chosen by
the miracle of birth which decided
his or her color or sex.
We think Mr. Carter should look
for the best possible man or woman
for the position. We know it just isn't
done in political circles to disgard all
other criteria other than ability
when choosing a candidate. The vote
attraction is the magic ingredient
which causes a running mate to be
selected. We don't like that. The
office of vice president is too
important to our nation to be filled
by a popularity poll.
Carter's thoughts in selection of
a running mate will no doubt draw
approval from both the blacks and
women. However, if we perpetuate
this method of selecting a vice
presidential candidate ye will take
turns. Next term, it will be the
Indian's time; next it will be the
Mexican-American's time, and so on
until all the minorities and ethnic
groups have had their turn.
This type of selection is akin to
the method by which this part of
Florida formerly selected its State
Senator, with each county in the
district having its turn in Tallahas-
see. The Supreme Court ruled this
was illegal.

People around here like to do
things for other people. We all know
one another and are interested in the
welfare of each other. We like to see
our neighbor enjoy- a good life and
achieve happiness and success. To
this end, we all do what we can to
help our neighbor and protect his
rights.
That is to say, most of us feel
this way.
We also have our element who
aren't concerned with anything ex-
cept destruction. The more they can
tear down, the better. The more
people who want what they decide to
tear 'down, the greater the thrill.
These people have been toller-
ated too long around here. We have
let it go, gritted our teeth and
replaced what has been damaged or
destroyed and uttered unkind things
about those who did the dirty deed.
Just within the past few weeks,
the City of Port St. Joe has launched
upon an ambitious plan to construct


a fine recreational complex in North
Port St. Joe on the old Washington
High School site. Work got underway
a few days ago, with rehabilitation
of the old gymnasium as the first
project. This would give the kids a
place to play with a fine basketball
court and a building repaired to
upgrade the neighborhood and give
a center for other games and
activities.
Know what has already happen-
ed? The contractor had barely got to
work when someone knocked a hole
in the wall of the old gym, gained
entrance to the building, stole all the
contractors tools and defecated all
over the floor.
There is something like $80,000
going into this project. If it is
allowed to become the victim of
vandals, it will probably be a cold
day in August before anyone can be
found who will be willing to go
through the expense of building it
back.

year term. This commission I
have in my possession.
As I see it, my concern
presently in regards to the
state of my term of office
depends upon whether I be-
lieve the Governor of the State
of Florida, the Secretary of
State, my official commission
bearing the seal of the State of
Florida on the one hand or the
editor of the Star and street
gossip on the other.
Mr. Ramsey, I respectfully
request that you print a re-
traction for those statements
appearing in your recent edi-
torial that were obviously
incorrect. May you, in the
future, exert the high degree
of diligence required of one in
such a responsible position to
assure that no one is inten-
tionally misled or unnecessar-
ily slandered.
Sincerely,
David L. Taunton

(EDITOR'S NOTE-Judge,
you evidently read something
in our article (not an editorial)
of last week which we didn't
intend to impart. After re-
reading the article, we still
cannot find basis for any
objection on your part. Our
article clearly stated that
what was written was conjec-
ture.
We admit to the mistake of
saying you were the only
judge to run in the "small"
election, if your statements
concerning the other three
judges are correct. All judges
we have heard of seeking
election, did so in the "big"
election year.
You intimate in your letter
(paragraph 4) that the editor
of The Star says you do not
have four years to serve. The
editor of The Star did not, nor
has not said that, either in
private conversation or in an
article in this newspaper. We
said "There is a cloudy spot in
the law about whether he will
have to run again. HIS OP-
PONENTS SAY he has to run;


Mr. Wesley Ramsey, Editor
The Star
Port St. Joe, Florida 32456

Dear Mr. Ramsey:

In a recent editorial (6-10-
76), you apparently were ill
Sadvised as 'to certain facts
about which you wrote. Being
the editor of a newspaper is a
tremendous- responsibility.
Readers depend to a great
extent upon our newspapers to
be enlightened. For the two
hundred years of our nation's
history, newspapers have ad-
mirably served the vital func-
tion of searching out and
revealing the truth to the
American public. Editors dur-
ing this time have set high
standards for themselves in
order to earn and retain the
confidence and respect of
their readers.
Your statement in a recent
editorial that I would be the
only County Judge within the
State to run in the "small"
election year is totally without
merit. The fact is that Judge
Flack of Wakulla County,
Judge Nichols of Santa Rosa
County, Judge Hunt and Judge
MacCalla of Polk County, to
name a few, will be running
two years from now. Judge
Hunt has been running in the
"small" election year for over
20 years.
As to your statement that I
am claiming that I have been
elected for a four year term,
please be advised that when I
paid a full qualifying fee in
1974, the Secretary of State
informed me that I was run-
ning for a four year term.
Upon being elected by the
good people of Gulf County, I
received a letter from the
Chief Election Officer of this
State, verifying that I was
elected for a four year term. I
then received my official com-
mission from the Governor's
Office bearing the Governor's
signature and the signature of
the Secretary of State, stating
that I was elected for a four


A week ago this past Sunday, all us Ramsey
boys got together and gave our parents a
reception for the occasion of their Golden
Wedding Anniversary. Usually, it's the ladies of
the family who get together and give the
receptions, plan all the doings, make the little
sandwiches and come up with the punch recipe.
They say who will stand where and who will do
what and just how the room will be arranged and
etc., etc.
We had a problem in our family. All our girls
turned out to be boys five of us. I don't think
there is two ounces of reception planning
technique in all five of us. You consider that
along with the fact that we had never given our
parents a golden wedding anniversary reception
before and you come up with the un-popped
kernel in the box of crackerjacks. We didn't
know what to do, so we just did it.
All the brothers came down from "Hot-Lan-
ta" and from Chattahoochee, along with their
wives and offspring. The brothers put on their -
coats and ties in the hot weather and the girls put
on their long dresses (saving the short ones for
the chilling days of winter) and we had a
reception doing what none of us do naturally and
trying to appear as if we were..
Momma and Daddy were in the same boat.
They weren't use to having us boys do things like
this for them, but they tried to act as if it were an
everyday occurance and did a pretty good job of
it.


Vho's going The thing which was surprising to me wasn't
ey begin to that Momma and Daddy have actually been
Star photo married for 50 years, but that my brothers have
aged so in the past few years. They're beginning
,w *--. to look definitely middle-aged. Maybe they
should have stayed in Port St. Joe, like me,
rather than roam all over the South.


he claims he doesn't".
Since there is doubt enough
about your position for those
wishing to seek election to
your office to question the
Attorney General about it,
asking for an official opinion,
we .think we are on firm
ground when wesay "There is
a cloudy spot in the law "
As for 'gossip on the street"
deciding whether or not you
have to run, that "gossip" is
very real and is the very
reason the paragraph was
written in the first place. If
you would go back again and
read the first three words in
the paragraph which alludes
to your position, you will find
the words, "There are rumors
. ." If you aren't aware of
these questions of the people,
we would suggest you just put
your ear to the ground.
We know we err on occa-
sion; everybody does. We are
glad to correct ours. So if you
will forgive our error con-
cerning judges being elected
in "small" election years,
we'll forgive yours for insin-
uating that we would inten-
tionally mislead anybody.)



On Tour In

Mediterranean

Navy Personnelman Second
Class Graham S. Ellis, 30, son
of Rev. and Mrs. Sidney G.
Ellis of Port St. Joe, has de-
parted Norfolk, Va., for an
extended deployment to the
Mediterranean as a member
of Attack Squadron 176, em-
barked aboard the aircraft
carrier USS America.
His squadron, homeported
at the Naval Air Station,
Oceana, Va., will operate as a
unit of the U. S. Sixth Fleet
during this deployment.
A 1964 graduate of Hillwood
High School, Nashville, Tenn.,
he joined the Navy in July,
1964.


I told you I would report to you about how
Jimmy Greer's "secret formula" did in the
growing of the tomatoes he gave me earlier in
the spring.
I couldn't swear that what he gave me did
the trick, but the trick was certainly done. I have
tomato bushes with up to 50 tomatoes to the
bush. and still putting out.. Several of the plants
are just killing-themselves,- putting out so many
tomatoes, they are breaking off the limbs. Those
tomatoes are bearing fruit in clusters like grapes
and causing untold anguish for the vines. I have
taken to propping up the clusters rather than
resort to the usual practice of tying up the limbs.
I don't know what the main ingredient was in
Jimmy's miracle fertilizer he gave me with the
plants, but I have an idea.
I know you have read stories of these couples
who seemingly cannot have babies and the
doctor puts the woman on fertility pills? The first
thing you know she is pregnant with three, four
and five babies being commomplace after using
the fertility pills. I think this is what Jimmy put
in his miracle tomato fertilizer fertility pills!

We print the Weekly Spokesman of Lynn
Haven each week in addition to our own paper
and others. Last Wednesday morning, the editor,
Jim Rogers came in with his copy, looking wrung
out and about ready to fall on his face. I asked
him what was wrong and he replied, "Oh, you
know how hard it is to come up with a subject for
a column each week. This week I couldn't
generate a subject until about 10:00 last night
and by the time I got it written and made up in
the page, it was late-thirty when I finally got to
bed".
I gave him the benefit of my sage advice and
told him he just had to stare at the wall all that
much harder when the subject wouldn't come.
He said, "Man, I even considered writing a
column about staring at a blank wall trying to
think of something to write, but I thought I better.
save that one until I really get desperate."
Then I became jealous. If you would look at
the wall I have to stare at while trying to come up
with something to fill this column each week, I
haven't even got enough there to make it a
standby to fall back on. My blank wall just
wouldn't be good grist for a column. It was made
only to stare at.


Does "Big Business" Really Run America?


(Reprint from
Santa Ana Register)


"Big business runs Ameri-
ca."
It's an oft-repeated charge,
seldom challenged.
But it should be challenged.
Richard L. Lesher, president
of the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States, tells how.
Lesher suggests that you
ask yourself the following
questions. If you were running
America would you:
-Allow consumerists to call
you nasty names?


-Allow the environmen-
talists to hold up your con-
struction projects?
-Allow politicians to legis-
late against you?
-Submit meekly to needless
investigations by the Federal
Trade Commission, the Sec-
urity and Exchange Commis-
sion, the Internal Revenue
Service and others?
-Put up with instructors
actively hostile to capitalism?
-Allow wild charges


against you to be spread
across front pages and TV
screens?
-Capitulate time after time
to the demands of labor
unions?
Not if you were "Running
America" you wouldn't.
Lesher acknowledges that
American business does have
economic power, "and it is en-
tirely legitimate for society to
inquire whether it is being
used wisely."


The principal problem, he
says, is that people are con-
fused about what they want
out of business-as a social in-
stitution.
Lesher suggests we consi-
der, for example, only one
segment of business, the big
companies that operate in
more than one country, usual-
ly called "multinational cor-
porations."
These are some of the spe-
cial problems confronting the


multinationals:
-If a U. S. multinational
builds a factory overseas in
more than one country and
provides jobs for the people in
the host country, that's good.
But when it does so, it is ac-
cused of "exporting" jobs
from the United States and
that's bad. (It's also untrue.
Overseas operations tend to
expand employment here
too.)
-If a multinational pays


workers in the host country
the prevailing local wage
(low), it is accused of "ex-
ploiting" the foreign workers.
But if it pays the foreign
workers more than prevailing
local wages, it is accused of
competing unfairly with the
other local employers.
-If a multinational obeys
local laws and customs when
operating in a foreign country,
it may engage in some prac-
tices there that are not per-


mitted in the United States. On
the other hand, if it tries to
impose U. S. values on the host
country it is accused of arro-
gance and "cultural imperial-
ism."
As a simple test for a "Big
Business" hater, Lesher sug-
gests asking, "Which big busi-
ness is running America?"
And "How is it running Amer-
ica?" and last, "And how did
it get all the other big busi-
nesses to sit still for that?"


You may be astonished to
find that the haters are very
emotional people.

Unfortunately for your budget, the firmer
most mattresses get, the more expensive
they get.
Which could lead you to believe that
you've got to choose between supporting
your back and supporting yourself.


- But, fortunately for your back, there's
another choice. The Kingsdown Spinal Aid.
A mattress designed to give your back the
kind of support it needs while you sleep.
The Spinal Aid has 288 heavy-duty coils,
a heavy-gauge wire flexolator and an extra-
firm bonded Insulo Pad. The
special foundation has extra-
heavy-duty wire coils and a
Rigi Firm platform top.
It's just about as firm as a
mattress can be. And right now
it's about half as expensive as
most firm mattresses. Because.
r. / the Spinal Aid mattress and
matching foundation are on
sale for just $49.50 each. So
you'll save $40 per set over
the regular price.
The Kingsdown Spinal Aid.
S\ You can't buy a firmer mattress
Sy. anywhere for this price.
You can just spend more
money for one.

BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT
Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Sellers
announce the birth of their
son, Victor Love born on June
7, weighing 10 lbs. and 3'/4
ounces. Proud grandparents
are Mr. and Mrs. Thomas
Seers... of Wewahitchka,
GraceWeeks of Port St. Joe
and Bruce Weeks of Chatta-
hoochee.


George looked to the Colonies
to pay for a major portion of
the debt. England inflicted the
Navigation Act, Molasses Act
and numerous acts forbidding
manufacturing in the Colonies
in an effort to foster the sale of.
British goods and collect bur-
densome taxes from their
colony in the new world.
Most of the taxes were
abolished by the early 1770's,
but the Tea Tax remained so
King George could assert his
right to assess taxes in his
colony. The Americans felt
they were taxed unjustly with-
out representation and so re-
sorted to smuggling, sabo-
tage and acts of rebellion
against the King, which even-


tually erupted into the Revolu-
tionary War.
Smith said that, while the
war lasted for eight years, it
might have been over in a
short few months if more of
the colonists were sympathe-
tic to the cause of revolution.
More than 40 percent of the
Americans were still loyal to
the king when the war began
and seriously' hampered the
revolutionists in their efforts.
George Washington, a Vir-
ginia southerner, was selected
to lead the army made up
largely of northern colonists
because of his reputation as a
soldier, a gentleman of means
and a moderate. The leaders
of the revolution wanted to


avoid the reputation of a mob
of zealots led by still another
radical. Washington's army
was small throughout the war
and never numbered more
than 25,000 men. When the war
began there were only three
cities in the colonies with
populations of 25,000. It was 37
years after the revolution
before New York City attained
a population of 100,000.
Florida's part in the revolu-
tion was largely one of provid-
ing sanctuary. for the Tories
who were hounded by the
patriots who wanted freedom.
Florida had been turned over
to England by Spain during
the Seven Years War and did
not revolt.

people who protect them also
play a major role in the life of
the Sunshine State.
The ;6 million acres of
productive forest lands make
major contributions to the
state's economic, social and
recreational well being.
An estimated $1.9 billion is
contributed annually to Flor-
ida's economy from the har-
vesting, primary and secon-
dary manufacturing, trans-
portation and marketing of
timber, according to the Flor-
ida Division of Forestry, De-
partment of Agriculture and
Consumer Services.
The Division is charged by
the Florida Legislature with
the protection, .promotion of.
proper management and utili-
zation of forest resources.
In carrying out that man-
date, the local county forester
stands ready to assist private
and public users with help on
their forest questions. Land-
owners in Gulf County can
contact him at 715 West 15th.
Street, Panama City, Florida
32401.
More than 1,000 Division
employees with a variety of
skills are dedicated to the
single goal of obtaining the
'maximum use of the forests
for the good of Florida's
residents.
They handle such diverse
duties as fighting wildfires
and forest pests, growing tree
seedlings at three state nur-
series, .managing four state
forests and providing informa-
tion to Florida's citizens and
timber processors.
In addition, foresters assist
in urban areas with city
developmental planning. They
often make tree canopy analy-
ses, street tree surveys aind
help promote community
beautification programs.
There are 17 district offices
with personnel ready to serve
the public located throughout
the state. A check of the
telephone book under State of
Florida will list the number
and address of the office
nearest you.
Pamphlets, booklets and
films dealing with forest and
environmental subjects are
also available to the public
from the Division's headquar-
ters in the Collins Building in
Tallahassee or your *local
county forester.

Dear Mr. Ramsey,
I have just spent several
days at Sunland in Marianna
as part of my nurse's training.
I think the public needs to be
aware of, and in support of the
fine work being done there.
I have felt impressed to
write this report of my obser-
vations, by no means com-
plete.
Carolyn Roney,
Student Nurse,
GCCC
"Although our children are
the victims of their fate, they
must not be the victims of our
neglect."-John F. Kennedy,
1961.
WHAT IS SUNLAND .
TRAINING CENTER
For 13 years, it is a facility
for care of mentally retarded
citizens. But much more it is
663 programs, individually de-
signed to help each client
reach his greatest potential.
It is 700 employees serving,
presently 663 clients through
four main departments.
The ultimate goal of all Sun-
land, is to allow, encourage,
aid the, clients to progress to
optimal levels of development
and if possible to return to the
community at a functioning
level. Therefore training is
geared toward normalcy.
Education in four areas,
food, shelter, clothing and
bodies, is covered each week
with each client, in some way.
The way may be in school, by
domestic skills, or by Suntown
Mall experiences in daily liv-
ing. This education is provided
consistently and with rein-
forcements by certified spe-
cial education teachers.
The interdisciplinary client
program (ICP), seeking to
make clients less dependent
supervises from afar when
clients are ready to practice
making their own choices pre-,
paratory to moving-back into
the community.
Vocational training with 25
full-time staffers, directs in-
dividual programs for 400 of
the clients. The philosophy is
to build up self confidence.


For many this. is their first
opportunity to succeed. Being
paid for real work, they can
feel proud and important,
needed as human beings,
through such jobs as farming,
horticulture, building, rug-
making and ceramics, hotel
services and many others.
The recreation department
involves every client during
the year. It is not just play-
time. but a therapeutic ap-
proach, teaching basic skills
of play, progressing to group
activities and hopefully pro-
gressing to individual ability
in play participation and
choice of leisure time activi-
ties.
The medical services in-
clude four doctors and two
dentists with a 30-bed infir-
mary, clinics, labs, pharmacy
and nurses. Each client and
employee is given annual phy-
sicals and -clients are treated
for illness or injury. Total
medical records and client
drug profiles are kept. Ser-
vices in the surrounding areas
are secured for clients who
need them.
Social Services call their
three social workers, Case
Managers, a more descriptive
title. They stand as advocate
for the client and link with the
family, encouraging the new-
er focus goal "Return to home
as soon as possible". The key
is assessment and abilitative
programing, then reassess,
over and over, as the program
is implemented. The "habit of
failure becomes the habit of
success" as this group does
everything to meet the needs
of the clients.
Cottage life in 26 units em-
ploys 300 workers. The clients
are arranged according to
composite factors of sex, age,
and functional level and are
provided with basic care and
reinforcement for self-care.
,Cottage life provides stimuli,
consistency and the "Mama"
figure, allowing each client to
give and receive expressions
of love and respect.
As a student, I have seen
another side of life to view;
one where the cards seem not
-to have been dealt fairly, yet

each must play the hand re-
ceived. Then SUNLAND...
where the rules are changed to
encourage success, where
these less fortunates are
trained to play. .to function
to their optimal. Many are en-
abled to go into the world and
succeed there, many will re-
main in the center, but ALL
will succeed. For I saw,. the
enthusiasm and faith of their'
teachers, and each worker I
met considered themselves
teacher. I saw the skill and
knowledge and compassion
each worker brought to his
task. I saw the client's eyes as
they interacted with their
teachers.
"No institution can be as
good as a good home situation,
but due to circumstances and
failures in society, for many
clients this is the best oppor-
tunity they ever had."

Kenneth BowmanRides

2,000 Miles On Bike
In this day and time, when a young man or woman can't
walk a half a block, Kenneth Bowman decided he would take
a little bike ride and shun the modern convenience of the
automobile. Kenny left his home on Wescott Circle May 9 on
his bicycle, bound for Canada and on to the college in
Vermont he would attend in the fall. He arrived in Canada on
June 4 after buying nine new tires (at $10.00 a tire) and a lot
of pumping those bike pedals.
Kenny is shown in the picture (right) in Bowmansville,
Pennsylvania where he took a rest stop to visit an uncle who
owns a store there. He is now on his way to Plainfield, Vt.,
still riding the bike, where he will attend Goddard College.
His trip will take him approximately 2,000 miles.


Little "Kojak "


There's nothing like the first warm days of summer to
bring out the original ideas in the mind of a boy and there's
nothing like having a few willing friends on hand to help
carry out these ideas. Last week Danny McDermott and his
pals thought it would be great fun to shave the head of one of


their number. Danny drew the short straw and was selected
to have his first shaving job performed even before peach
fuzz showed up on his chin. Danny's buddies pitched right in
and before you know it, Danny was doing a "Kojak" number
and will be for a few more weeks to come. It's obvious which'
boy is Danny. The others who held him down, wielded the
shaving brush and razor are, left to right: Tim Montgomery,
Mark Kilbourn, David Sullivan, Greg Wood, Tim Stutzman
and FrankieWilliams. Star photo

HRS Says It Will Spray

Dog Flies from Aircraft
The Entomology program of -
the Department of Health and
Rehabilitative Services in co- t
operation with the County Everything tastes
Mosquito Control Districtsa
will again this summer oper- better on a SUnwid
ate an aerial spraying pro-
gram for control of dog flies on e i v
Gulf beaches and bay shores cause its made WVitI
in the West Florida area.
Airplanes being used in this ubeam @
program will be flown parallel j
to and a short distance behind Wc
the beaches. W W1
All aircraft are properly
licensed and operated in com-
.pliance with rules and regula-
Otions of the Federal Aviation
Administration. There is no
danger to persons or property
by the spray being applied.
Dog flies become concen- b
treated on beaches in this area
only when north winds bring
them from breeding sites in
agricultural'areas to the north
and from" piles of seaweeds
along bayshores. The flies are
known to fly at least 70 miles. Ca .M a ',,= tlaMiga ,t--..,Jlfa C>-c'
They leave the beaches
promptly when the wind blows
from the Gulf; therefore, to be
effective the spray must be
applied quickly while the flies
are concentrated on the s
beaches.
This is a safe program -/
which offers effective control
of this important pest for the
first time in the West Florida *
area.
Questions regarding the pro-
gram should be addressed to
