0 * THIRTY-NINTH YEAR, NUMBER 44 Industry Deep Water Port Fine People Safest Beaches in Florida PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA THURSDAY, JULY 1, 1976 Additional Outfall Lines Placed Under 98 More Drainage Progress Another step of several planned to alleviate serious drainage problems in the en- tire eastern section of Port St. Joe was accomplished late last week by the Department of Transportation. DOT crews installed addi- tional drainage facilities un- der Highway 98 south of Ward Ridge to allow water to move away from the city more freely. The DOT placed two 60" drain' pipes under the highway, in addition to the Post Office Will be Closed All Day Monday Postmaster Chauncey Cos- tin announced this week that the local post.office would be closed all day Monday, July 5, in observance of Independ- .ence Day. According to the Postmas- ter, no mail would be received from outer points and no mail would be sent out on that day. On this past Sunday, June 27, Sunday mail was discon- tinued, according to the Post- master. Outgoing mail drop- ped in the post office after five p.m. .on Saturday was not sent out until' 1100 a.m. on Mon- day. "This schedule will con- tinue indefinitely as far as I know," said the Postmaster. For the Fourth of July week- end,, the-regular receipt and dispatch of mail will be made on Saturday, July 3. The next receipt and dispatch will be made on Tuesday, July 6, according to the Postmaster. huge box culvert already un- der the highway. During the recent hurricane which caused severe water problems in the city, Mosquito Control supervisor, Emmette Daniell, who is in charge of drainage 'in much of the county, said it, was his opinion drainage water was bottf&i up at the culvert which went under 98. Daniell and his crew has been working for several years to improve George Washington Branch to carry off the accumulated rain wa- ter in this portion of the city. At present, his crews are extending the natural drain ditch to a point near Depot Creek, where the excess water will eventually find its way to the creek. When water piled up from the hurricane, and other tor- rential rains of the past two or three years, Daniell said the ditch could carry the water off more quickly if it could get under the highway faster. He pointed out the drainage sys- tem would not prevent water from backing up in the troubled area, but it could at least get away from the city faster if the pipe under 98 were larger. He said the drain canal was capable of carrying off water faster than it has been. The County Commission and Representative William J. Rish have been working with the DOT since the hurricane to get a larger opening under the highway., Area DOT supervisor, Fred-' die Branch said, "This pipe isn't going to satisfy all the drainage problems, but these additional pipes will nearly double the capacity of flow under the highway and allow the water to get out quicker". He said the project' should be completed sometime this week, if the weather doesn't hamper construction too much. The DOT crews had the additional drain pipe installed late last Wednesday. Branch said work would start imme.- diately on construction of headwalls on either side of the hew pipe and should be com- pleted this week. In the meantime, Mosquito Control crews continue gnaw- ing away at the extension of (Continued on Page 5) New License Tags Go On Sale Today You will receive, or have already received, your new pre-written motor vehicle re- gistrations within the next few days.

EDITORIALS: Bicentennial Reaches Zenith Sunday Our nation will culminate its year-long emphasis on the Bicen- tennial this week end as it marks the 200th anniversary of the revolution against the parent nation, Great Britain. While this seems a long time to a human being with an expected life-span of 70 years, as the age of nations goes, America is.young. As a matter of fact, this continent was under British rule longer than we have been a free nation. There are nations in the world which are younger than we. There are also many which are older: much older. As civilizations go, ours here in the United States is still a babe in diapers. ^ America is still in its youth. If our nation were a Jew, we might now be celebrating oux Bar Mitzpha. If we were of one .of the. tribes, of Africa, we may now be going through the rites of puberty. If we were a bird, we would now be trying our wings and leaving the nest. Such, by comparison is our age. With youth comes strength. Nobody can deny that our nation is the strongest in the world. Is it youth that has placed us in this position, or is it our unique system of govern- ment which makes.us try harder and achieve more? "'.ichever is the case, it stands to reason we must pay' attention to our future to guarantee our favored position in the world, if we wish to. keep this position. If it is our youth which has made us strong, we must continue to exercise the things which made us strong, such as our free enterprise, the rights of man, the opportunity for a man to seek his own level. If these are the muscles which made us strong, we must continue to use them every day because they are getting old and would tend to atrophy. If it is our unique system of government which has made us strong, we must contiifie to nourish. it and guard it. Other civilizations in the past have offered the same freedoms, but they failed. Our Bicentennial has stressed the greatness of this nation; we hope, when the 400th anniversary comes around, free men can still stand on the street corner, say what they please and feel free to seek their own future, unmollested by a police state. Bidwell Presides At Meet Gulf County school princi- pals, district administrators and teachers will be repre- sented at thq Ninth Annual Leadership Conference. The 'three-day program at Gulf Coast Community College be- gan on Tuesday and ends today. J. David Bidwell, Superin- tendent of Gulf County Schools, presided at the first general session on Tuesday. All of the activities on Tues- day "were sponsored by the Florida Department of Educa- tion. Topics were related to new legislation originating from the 1976 Florida Legis- lature. Special presentations on Wednesday and, Thursday were made by Dr. Rita Born- stein, Forrest Van Camp, and Allen Scott. Mr. Van Camp is a graduate of Port St. Joe High School and was a teacher at the local school. Mr. Scott has been a teacher, assistant prin- cipal and principal in our area schools. Other topics discussed were related to negotiations, low achievers, cost reporting, Title IX, stress management, and comprehensive plan pro- grma evaluation. Each sub- ject was selected as a result of an expressed need in the area counties. The conference is sponsored collectively by the Panhandle Area Educational Coopera- tive, Gulf Coast Community College, Bay County Teacher Education Center, University of West Florida, Florida State University, Florida A & M University, P.A.E.C. Teacher Education Center and Florida Department of Education.

It's a hard thing to say in this land of the free, but we don't think such people deserve the protection of the free- doms which we offer.

Great By: Cong. Bob Sikes America is a big country. It is a great land of opportunity. It still is the hope of the world; the growth of communism, socialism and totalitarianism notwithstanding. A good ques- tion is are we tough enough to stand up for our interests worldwide and to fight for the preservation at home of the principles on which our nation was founded. This is our bicentennial. It is a time for celebration. Our nation has grown from small, scattered settlements along the Atlantic Seaboard, divided by sectional differences and uncertain of the future, to a nation which spans a continent and provides a standard of living unheard of anywhere else. Nation after nation has sought to follow in the foot- steps of the American pattern. Somewhere along the way, this dream was lost for most of them. Now more that 120 nations of the world are governed by communism or socialism, most of them under dictator- ships. Only a handful, a score or so, still hold to the principle of free elections and the free enterprise system. Some of these are leaning further and further away from democra- cy.

RAMSEY I got a long-distance telephone call Sunday. It was from my mother-in-law, up in Warner Robins, Georgia. She was blessing me out because I hadn't put in the paper she had come to visit with us during the celebration of my parents' golden wedding anniversary. I had a ready-made excuse for not doing so. It's so seldom she comes to visit, I still can't believe she actually did. If she comes again, I'll put her name in' the paper. I remember when we moved in our house: about 12 years ago; my mother-in-law came: down to see our new home and gushed all over herself, saying she was coming back every six months to help us fix up the yards. She hasn't been back six times, much less every six months. We don't put items in the paper about people going off visiting much anymore. A few years back, every weekly paper carried a column of "personals", which told of uncle John or aunt Bessie visiting or going visiting. Now, people would rather we leave their travels out of the paper, since they are afraid someone will read about them being gone and break into their home. That's a sad commentary, isn't it? For those who think things are not changing, that is one piece of evidence which shows they are. I remember, we never locked our house when we were going off for a few hours or a week end. We wouldn't dare leave it open now. So, the asphalt jungle invades Port St. Joe. I wonder if things were like that back in 1776? A long' holiday is coming ulp, starting Saturday. Our Independence Day will roll around on the calendar Sunday and be observed with a day off from work on Monday. That means a lot of people will be on the highways. The Florida Highway Patrol predicts there will be 25 to die on Florida highways from traffic crashes. The sad part of it is that the people, will die while they are out to have a good time. Drive carefully, will you? A few years ago, the trend was to move to the city and make plenty of money and have the automatic life which automatic washers, air conditioners, frozen and packaged foods brought ease to living and children would be close to centers of higher learning to prepare them for future life. Then, just a few years ago, the trend reversed, and nearly everyone in the city began to long for the open spaces of the country again. Everyone who had money to invest, almost invariably put it into a few acres with a few head of cattle grazing on the hillside. Country living and agriculture are the in thing these days. Even in the city, agriculture is one of the main hobbies with the many gardens springing up in every vacant patch bearing evidence to the people's choice in a living style, as well as from necessity to combat high prices. Reading in Newsweek magazine last week, we see where cattle growing has taken a back seat as the hottest thing in agriculture these days. Now, the thing to do on that 40 acres out in the country is to grow worms. According to Newsweek, this is the fastest-growing branch of agriculture to come around in a long time. They're doing some odd things with worms these days. Worms multiply quicker than roaches and can increase from 1,000 to a million within a year. All they require is waste-any- thing from shredded newspapers to old rags. The worms themselves are a cash crop in great demand by fishermen. The "castings" or excrement is highly prized as fertilizer. But get this; not only are worms prized as an all-purpose fish bait, but there is a firm which is putting up cooked worms as a "junk food". One fellow says "they look like bacon chips and taste like shredded wheat". I'll take his word. One of the most promising things about worms is that in a test, 5.6 million worms completely re-cycled 10 tons of garbage in a year. That looks like a good solution to our garbage disposal problem. The state says we are going to have to quit burying it here on the coast, so maybe we could let the worms take care of it. We here at The Star hope you enjoy the holiday week end. Take care wherever you go and don't make us have to write the story about you getting mangled up in an automobile accident. That would ruin our holiday.

Gib- son, Jr., Vice President of St. Joseph Telephone & Tele- graph Company declared to- day. "The controversial new poli- cies of the FCC permit non- utilities to provide telephone equipment for interconnection with the nationwide telephone network and to provide inter city private-line telephone ser- vices," Gibson pointed out. "The effect of these two types of so-called 'competition' au- thorized by the FCC is to reduce the subsidies tradition- ally provided to basic tele- .phone service especially in rural and sparsely settled areas, by the revenues from long-distance calling, business communications services, and various optional services." The reduced size of the subsidies is expected to result in rate increases of as much as 60 percent to residential cus- tomers and 56 percent to business users of basic tele- phone service within 10 years, exclusive of inflation, the ex- ecutive said. The anticipated rate in- creases are indicated in a recent study conducted by' Systems Applications, Inc., a telecommunications research organization. The study was sponsored by the U.S. Inde- pendent Telephone Associa- tion, whose membership in- cludes the more than 1,600 independent (non-Bell) tele- phone companies across the country. Subsidies Help Assure "UniversalService" for U.S. In keeping basic telephone rates lower than they other- wise would be, the subsidies reflect the stated objective of the Communications Act of 1934 to assure "Universal Service" a phone in every home and office, at the lowest practicable cost to the con- sumer. "Although the reduction in the subsidies will bring about higher phone bills for millions of residential and business customers, the effect obvious- ly will be felt most severely by low income families and per- sons on fixed incomes," Gib- ' son observed. FCC Policies Seen Inhibiting Telcos' Future Two types of "Competitors" have arisen as a result of the FCC policies, he said. One group consists of the "Inter- connect Companies" which sell or lease telephones, switchboards, and other kinds of equipment to telephone users for connection to the nationwide telephone net- work. The other group is comprised of the so-called "specialized common carri- ers" can and do concentrate on these heavy-traffic routes which are highly profitable, while telephone companies are required to provide a broad range of services not only on the high-traffic routes but also the far less profitable low-traffic routes such as those serving smaller com- munities and remote areas. "We at St. Joseph Telephone & Telegraph Company, the rest of the telephone industry, and unions representing many, thousands of telephone people view the FCC policies as having an inhibiting effect on the growth of our industry and its ability to provide the public with its traditional high level of service in the years ahead," he asserted. "We therefore believe that Congress should enact new legislation to reaf- firm the stated objective of the Communications Act." Remedial Legislation Introduced In Congress To meet this need, the "Consumer Communications Reform Act of 1976" (S-3192) has been introduced in the United States Senate by Sena- tor Vance Hartke (D-India- na), a member of the Senate Communications Subcommit- ttee. Representative Samuel Devine of Ohio, ranking Re- publican member of the House Interstate and Foreigh Com- merce Committee, has intro- duced generally similar legis- lation (H.R. 12844) in the House of Representatives. Nearly 150 Senate and House members have introduced or co-sponsored similar bills. In Summary, the Act would: Reaffirm the long-standing National Communications Po- licy of "Universal Service" - the provision of high-quality, low-cost telephone service to the maximum number of peo- ple. Reaffirm the authority of the various state commissions to regulate the interconnec- tion to the telephone network of customer-provided equip- ment utilized in local tele- phone service. Declare that regulatory po- licies which would authorize specialized common carriers Earns Honors Nancy Noble of Port St. Joe earned spring semester and sophomore academic honors at Wesleyan College. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles F. Noble, Sr. Semester honors are earned by maintaining a 3.3 grade point average during the four- months term and sophomore honors by maintaining a 3.0 average during the first two years at the college. MRS. WOULLARD ON FAMU DEAN'S LIST Sophia G. Woullard, the Wife of Fred Woullard of 403 Ave- nue C, Port St. Joe, has been named to the Dean's List with a 3.72 grade point average for the spring quarter at Florida A & M University. Mrs. Woul- lard is a candidate in the R.N. program. Bowling News Summer Mixed League The Summer Mixed League met on June 22 at St. Joe Bowling Lanes.

Require that the FCC, prior to authorizing a specialized common carrier to provide intercity private-line services must assure that such autho- rization will not result in increased charges for local telephone service. Bill Wins Early Support The legislation has the sup- port of the St. Joe and Bell System companies, the eigh- teen other independent com- panies in Florida, the U.S. Independent Telephone Assoc iation, various unions, the National Telephone Coopera- tive Association, and other industry groups. The goals of the bill are also considered compatible with the recent legislative position taken by the Florida Public Service Commission and the National Association of Regulatory Uti- lity Commissioners, which re- presents the state public utili- ty commissioners throughout the country. To date, at least It's Predicted 25 Will DieViolently The traffic fatality prediction for this year's Fourth of July weekend is 25 persons with the holiday period beginning at 6:00 p.m., Friday, July 2, and ending midnight, July 5, said the Florida Highway Patrol this week. Colonel Eldrige Beach, Patrol director said, "The coming Fourth of July holiday will be Independence Day for most of us; however, for the families of those killed in traffic crashes, it will be a Memorial Day." Patrol records show that last year, 30 persons lost their lives on the state's streets and highways during the 78-hour Fourth of July holiday period. Beach urged every driver to start his trip with the determination to follow common sense rules to protect himself and his family in highway traffic. Failure to consider the hazards of highway travel can change a holiday into a nightmare. For those drivers who can turn deaf ears to appeals for safe, courteous driving, Beach offers the reminder that ",every available trooper will be on patrol duty over the holiday with orders to maintain strict and impartial enforce- ment of the state's motor vehicle code." "Fasten your seat belts each time you ride in a car and drive with courtesy and caution," concluded Colonel Beach. l~w I Equipment For the Summer SGloves, Shoes, Bats, Balls, | Shirts, -| ,Pants The Whole Works for Baseball and Softball Open Mon. thru Sat. 2-6 The Athletic House I 323 Reid Ave. Phone 229-6805 .........

THURSDAY, JULY 1, 1976 PAGE FIVE (Continued from Page 1) Candidates Announce Kennedy member of the Water Re- sources Committee that he learned of certain areas of Gulf County being eligible for water and sewer and brought back to the Gulf County Board the necessary avenue to travel in obtaining water and sewer for these areas. Kennedy worked with others in the Highland View Water and Sewer District organiza- tion; worked with others in obtaining the St. Joseph T. H. Stone Memorial Park; worked with others in obtaining the Sunland Recreation Park on St. Joseph Pensinsula; was instrumental in getting the State Association Board of Directors to lobby for the first $140,000 of construction funds, a measure introduced into the legislature by the Hon. Billy Joe Rish. Kennedy was chosen in 1971 by ,the Universal Publishing Company as Outstanding Floridian, an award given only' two public officials in all of Northwest Florida that year. Also in 1973 he was chosen as one of "Who's Who in Politics in the South and Southwest United States"; in- troduced to the Association a resolution asking the legisla- ture to pass a bill giving the seventh cent gas tax to the counites.

More Drainage: George Washington Brauch toward Depot Creek, under a threat of having to stop at .ny time from the Department of Environmental Regulations. "We're going to dig just' as fast and as long as we can", Daniell said, "in effort to get the project completed before we have'to stop." Recently a DER representa- tive attempted to stop the digging but intervention by Representative Rish with Jay Landers, head of the DER, countermanded the ordet'to stop. Landers gave the county authority to keep digging until he stopped them. Residents along the area from Garrison avenue back, to Woodward, hope Landers-br- der will not come until the project is completed. In the meantime, the City of Port St. Joe has hired engin- eers to study the entire city to set out a master plan -of drainage which should be completed within the next two or three months. This plan will be followed by the city in future drainage operations, in an effort to remove excess water as fast as possible in this flat table area along the shores of the Gulf of Mexico.

THURSDAY, JULY 1, 1976 PAGE SEVEN :'Many of you will probably be going on vacation within the next few weeks. It is important to get your land- 'scape and garden plants in order prior to departure for :vacation. During a one to two week -period away from home, con- siderable damage may be experienced d by plants if care is not provided. This is espe- cially true for plants growing ,in containers, both indoors and outdoors. If asked, a -neighbor will probably -check ion the plants while you are uone. It is important to give this person proper instruc- tions on the. needs of each plant. Needs may vary con- siderably and a friend may not have the same type of sensiti- vity for plants as. the owner. A little time spent in ready- ing your home for your ab- sence may spare many extra hours of work upon your return. Perhaps the following check list will be helpful. Place your outdoor potted plants in a shady location. This may be nearthe side of a building having a northern exposure or within the protec- tive cover of a heavy foilage plant. Potted plants may be placed in the ground up to the rim of the container. A thick layer of mulch will conserve moisture and reduce the number of waterings needed while on vacation. When caring for indoor plants, place them in a room which receives indirect light. Direct sunlight will dry the 'soil quicker. Do not leave 'plants in a darkened room, because leaf drop will surely result. The last thing to do before leaving on a trip is to thoroughly soak the plants. If the vacation extends over a two week period, move house plants out of doors and sink pots in a shaded and cool garden bed. Mow lawn just prior to leaving, if possible. An unkept lawn is a tell-tale sign that no one is at home, as well as being bad for the lawn grass to get out of hand. Perhaps.mow a little shorter that usual if your stay will be long. Water the lawn well prior to leaving, or make provisions for sprink- lers to be turned on. Treat for chinch bugs and, or fungus, if signs of these pests are pre- sent. Give garden beds and plants, particularly those re- Take Care of Lawn Before Vacationing Give plants a good spraying or dusting to protect against harmful insects and diseases. Provide a good over-all weeding prior to departure. If weeds are allowed to go to seed while away, you can expect a much harder job of weeding later in the season, or next year when the seeds sprout. Weeds also rob desir- able plants of food and mois- ture. Harvest all ripened or near- ly ripened fruit and vegetables prior to leaving. Vegetables will continue to produce if harvested often. Make ar- rangements with a neighbor to harvest and water the garden in payment for vegetables and fruit.

WE hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are 'Life, Liberty, and 'the Pursuit of Happiness-That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of .the Governed, that whenever any Form of Gov- ernment becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall sepm most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Ex- perience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing in- variably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Govern- ment, and to provide new Guards for their future Security. Such has been the patient Sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the'Necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The History of the pres- ent King of Great-Britain is'a History of repeated Injuries and Usurpations, all having in direct Object the Establishment of an absolute Tyranny IN CONGRESS, JULY4, 1776. A DECLARATION BY THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN GENERAL CONGRESS ASSEMBLED. and sent hither Swarms of Officers to harass our People, and eat out their Substance. HE has kept among us, in Times of Peace, Standing Armies, without the consent of our Legislatures. HE has affected to render the Military inde- pendent of and superior to the Civil Power. HE has,combined with others to subject us to a Jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and unacknowledged by our Laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: FoR quartering large Bodies of Armed Troops among us: FOR protecting them, by a mock Trial, from Punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: FOR cutting off our Trade with all Parts of the World: FOR imposing Taxes on us without our Con- sent: FOR depriving us, in many Cases, of the Benefits of Trial by Jury: FoR transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offences: FOR abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighboring Province, establishing therein an arbitrary Government, and enlarging its Boundaries, so as to render it at once an Example and fit Instrument for introducing the, same absolute Rule into these Colonies: FOR taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: FOR suspending our own Legislatures, and de- cl daring themselves invested with Power to legis- late for us in all Cases whatsoever. HE has abdicated Government here, by de-. daring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. HE has plundered our Seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our Towns, and destroyed the, Lives of our People. HE is, at this Time, transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the Works of Death, Desolation, and Tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty and Perfidy, scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous Ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized Nation. HE has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the Executioners of We at Buzzett's Drug Store are most proud to be celebrating our TH- L 0 * Z5 U Together with our great Country's 200th We are able to do this because of the FAITH LOYALTY TRUST you have given us throughout the past years.

To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid World. HE has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public Good. HE has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing Importance, unless suspended in their Operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. HE has refused to pass other Laws for the Ac- commodation of large Districts of People, unless those People would relinquish the Right of Representation in the Legislature, a Right ines- timable to them, and formidable to Tyrants only. HE has called together Legislative Bodies at Places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from tie Depository of their public Records, for the sole Purpose of fatiguing them into Compliance with his Measures. HE has dissolved Representative Houses re- peatedly, for opposing with manly Firmness his Invasions on the Rights of the People. HE has refused for a long Time, after such Dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the Dangers of Invasion from without, and Convulsions within.. HE has endeavoured to prevent the Popula- tion of these States; for that Purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; re- fusing to pass others to encourage their Migra- tions hither, and raising the Conditions of new Appropriations of Lands. HE has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers. HE has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the Tenure of their Offices, and the Amount and Payment of their Salaries. HE has erected a Multitude of new Offices, their Friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands. HE has excited domestic Insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the Inhabitants of our Frontiers, the merciless In- dian Savages, whose known Rule of Warfare, is an undistinguished Destruction of all Ages, Sexes and Conditions. IN every stage of these Oppressions we have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble Terms: Our repeated Petitions have been an- swered only by repeated Injury. A Prince, whose Character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the Ruler of a free people. NoR have we been wanting in Attentions to our British Brethren. We have warned them from Time to Time of Attempts by their Legisla- ture to extend an unwarrantable Jurisdiction bver us. We have reminded them of the Circum- stances of our Emigration and Settlement here. We have appealed to their- native Justice and Magnanimity, an'd we have conjured them by the Ties of our common Kindred to disavow these Usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our Connections and Correspondence. They too have been deaf to the Voice of Justice and of Consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the Necessity, which denounces our Separa- tion, and hold them, as we hold the rest of Man- kind, Enemies in War, in Peace, Friends. WE, therefore, the Representatives of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, in GENERAL CONGRESS, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the World for the Rectitude of our In- tentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly Pub- lish and Declare, That'these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be, FREE AND INDE- PENDENT STATES; that they. are absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political Connection between them and the. State of Great-Britain, is and ought to be totally dis- solved; and that as FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES, they have full Power to levy War, conclude. Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which INDEPENDENT STATES may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm Reliance on the Protection of divine Provi- dence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor. tI I I I - -.W- - -- ~ - -..c~. - - ~q. ~ .- ..

Rish, Attorney and Lloyd Whitfield, Road- Super- intendent. The meeting came to order. at 9:00 a.m. The Attorney opened the meeting with pray- er, followed by the pledge to the flag. The minutes of May 19 and 25 were read, approved and adopted. Pursuant to invitation to receive bids to sell the county parts for repair on the LS78 Link Belt dragline, the follow- ign four bids were received: Ray-Brooks Machinery Co., $990.00; Ring Power Corp. (Tallahassee), $842.06; Ring Power Corp. (Jacksonville), $1,029.50; and Tractor & Equipment, $800.88. Whereupon, there was a motion by Comm. Player, seconded by Comm. Player, and unanimously carried, that the bid of Tractor & Equip- ment Company be accepted and that a purchase order be placed for these parts. The Board was informed by the Standard Oil Agent that gasoline prices have in-' creased one cent effective June 2, 1976. The Board approved the typical section for project no. 51510-3606, SR S22 and SR22A from SR 71 to Dead Lakes Dam. The Attorney advised the Board that he has been noti- fied that the Farmers Home Administration has approved and funded the county's appli- cation for the construction of the Oak Grove Water and Sewer Project as follows: FHA loan in the amount of. $136,300.00, and a grant in the amount of $123,700.00. After being fully advised as to this loan and grant, there was a motion by Comm. Owens, seconded by Comm. Whitfield and upon vote was unanimous- ly.carried, that the Attorney proceed with the bond issue for the $136,300.00; that State revenue sharing funds be pledged to secure the bonds and that the Clerk and Chair- man are authorized to execute all papers in connection with the loan, bond issue and grant. Upon motion by Comm. Whitfield, seconded by Comm. Davis and unanimously car- ried, the Board directed the Florida Engineering Asso- ciates to finalize the plans for the Oak Grove. project and prepare to advertise for bids. The Department of Admini-' stration advised by letter that the county's request for funds to develop and implement an Emergency Medical Service Communication System has been approved effective June 1, 1976, in the amount of $17,- 200.00 from the Governor's Highway Safety Commission, and $17,000.00 from Federal funds, to be matched by $7,905.85 local funds. The Comptroller, by letter, advised the Board that the Department of Health and Re- habilitative Services has cer- v Yrov 4. 4. Business Oppor Merchandise for Sale tified that Gulf County now owes $15,746.42 for medicaid cost. (No action). -The following applications for employment were re- ceived: James Donnie Bishop and Jimmy Tyson. The Board discussed the Mosquito Control budget for the next fiscal year. After discussion, the Board directed that a tentative budget in the total amount of $132,500.00 be prepared for use in the first budget work' session. The Board received a letter from the Department of Re- venue with reference to action by this Board requesting a refund for a taxpayer under F.S. 195.106. Additional infor- mation was requested. The Attorney was directed ..to assist in this matter. Mosquito Control Director Emmett Daniell reported tlat he had received permission from Jack Kraft to continue the George Washington Branch ditch for one mile. The Attorney reported that Ney Landrum, Department of En- vironmental Regulations had instructed him the Board could dig until further notice. Comm. Player reported that W. N. Stephens, pastor, High- land View Baptist Church, was requesting the Commis- Boat Safety Week In conjunction with National Boating Safety Week, Gover- nor Reubin Askew has pro- claimed July 4-10 Boating Safety Week for Florida, Har- mon Shields, executive direc- tor of Natural Resources an- nounced. "We hope that all of Flor- ida's millions of boating en- thusiasts will be especially conscious of accident preven- tion during Safety Week," Shields said. "If Florida's boatmen are vigilant of the rules of the waterways' and continue to practice sound safety procedures, there is no reason why we can't enjoy an accident free Bicentennial Fourth of July," he said. Due to the marked increase in the registration of powered craft and the fact that Boating Safety Week encompasses a holiday weekend, Major Jack Thompson, director of boating safety for the Florida Marine Patrol, expects to see more boats on Florida's waterways than during previous Boating Safety Week. "According to our most recent figures," Thompson said "nearly 400,000 powered craft are reg- istered with the state. This figure, of course, excludes such non-motorized craft as small sailboats, canoes and rowboats." "If boatmen want to get their craft inspected for safe- ty, the Florida Marine Patrol and the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary are more than glad to do so," Thompson said. When a boat passes inspec- tion, the owner is awarded a "Safety Checked" decal. Dur- ing the last three months, nearly 3,900 boats were in- spected, of which more than 2,300 passed, according to Thompson. New Signs On Interstates sioners' presence at the Bicen- tennial Celebration, June 20 at 7:30 p.m. in the High School coliseum.,. 'Attorney William J.

SChairman Money requested the Road Department com- plete the Indian Bayou Road and finish cleaning the ditches at White City, The Road Superintendent reported these jobs would be completed as soon as the rain allows.

THURSDAY, JULY 1, -1976 New service signing, which wil assist motorists on Interstate highways and other freeways in locating lodging, food, gas, camping, hospital or phone facilities, is being installed on 1-10 in a pilot project implemented by the Florida Department of Transportation. Interstate-10 was selected as the pilot Interstate for the new service signing for two reasons, the highway is the most rural in Florida, with most service facilities located out of the 'motorist's sight, and much of the high- way was opened to traffic after enact- ment of Florida's outdoor advertising control law, prohibiting billboard ad- vertisement of motorist services. The new symbol signs identifying services available off an upcoming interchange will be posted on the ad- vance interchange sign and also at the exit ramp. The rectangular blue ser- vice signs bear white outlines clearly identifying the service: a knife and fork outline on a round dinner plate indi- cates food, a gas pump tells of fuel availability, a recumbent form in a bed signals lodging, a camper trailer indi- cates camping facilities, a phone re' ceiver indicates a public telephone and a large letter H indicates hospital facilities. t .

It made sense to Noah. After all, it was a whole lot more economical and efficient to get together and share the ride than it would have been for everybody to go their own way. And that still holds true today. Sharing WIL, the ride with just one other person can cut your commuting costs in half. Think about it. Share the ride with a friend. It sure beats driving alone. - A public service of this newspaper, The U.S. Department of Transportation a and The Advertising Council. ~" '~""' ; .:.. : '...;.' .~ .. ...`.....'........; : ~L~9~9~ |
