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

Letter bombs, once the unique

During recent weeks, letter

Such terrorist acts showing up in
the United States not only show how
sick some minds are, but they herald
the expansion of the war by the

Guerilla warfare is on over the

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.

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

pay for their inhuman acts. 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. Thus, the
terrorists are using our laws of
protection to their own advantage.
Too, our nation must take care
that in reacting to the letter bombs
that we do not revert to the practice
of regimen and observance of indi-
viduals now practiced by other
nations of the world: Already this
has been attempted with a bill in
Congress this year. to require a
passport-type identification card for
every person in this country.
The letter bombs, we think, are
being sent for the purpose to make
us willing to give up part of our
freedoms for protection.
We hope it never comes to pass.

Preparation

Makes Safety


A As Florida's peak traffic
season approaches, the Flor-
re look- ida Highway Patrol told mo-
1976-77 tourists today that prepared-
ness is one of the keys to safe
vacation travel regardless of
the length of their vacation
Herring trip.
"Summer brings local resi-
dents out for vacations and
KS along with tourists coming to
y would Florida, our highways become
people crowded. Whether planning a
ir kind- short weekend trip or cross-
of sor- country excursions, drivers
Rodney who prepare themselves and
ecially their vehicles will have a

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. The government, of Portu-
gal barely escaped outright
seizure by the communists.

tant nations in the free world

ETAOIN SHRDLU

By WESLEY R. 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

Port St. Joe, Florida, June
21, Telephone customers
throughout the United States
face the threat of substantially
higher phone bills if the Fede-
ral Communications Commis-
sion continues its present con-
troversial policies, B.R. 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

to provide intercity private-
line services and other long-
distance services are contrary
to the public interest if such
authorization would result in
unnecessary duplication of fa-
cilities and services.
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

Bill Wins Early Support

System companies, the eigh-
teen other independent com-
panies in Florida, the U.S.

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.

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.

THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. 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.

Wem in the Course of human Events,
it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve
the Political Bands which have connected them
with another, and to assume dmong the Powers
of the Earth, the separate and equal Station to
which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God
entitle them, a. decent Respect to the Opinions
of Mankind .requires that they should declare
the causes which impel them to the Separation.
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.

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

over these States. 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.

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.

able for audit purposes, but a

sioners requested it. The
Board felt a copy should also
be filed with the Board's pay-
roll records.
Chairman Money requested
that all Commissioners be in-
formed of any new construc-
tion going on in the county.

plete the Indian Bayou Road

THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. 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.

We have it on high
authority that sharing the ride
is a very good idea.


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.
