Local insurance agent Frank Hannon presented the City Commission with an up- .dated plan for covering the City's property properly with insurance Tuesday night, and spent nearly an hour and a half in going over the plan, which covered all real proper- ty and contents owned by the city. One thing the Commission found out was that the City was grossly undercovered in insurance on its real property and grossly unable to come up with the money to insure it at reasonable value. For instance, the Stac House. was insured at $15,000 and is a building with some 3,000 square feet of floor space. The Centennial Building is insured for $50,000 and couldn't be replaced for four times that amount. What the report by Hannon brought about was a deter- mination by the Commission to arrive at a more reasonable value'for its insurable proper- ty. Hannon was ,asked to furnish each of the Commis- sioners with. copies of, his report for them to study and make recommendations to- ward an insurance schedule to:' send out for bids. Hannon had asked to survey the 'City's property and insu- Holiday Ends With A Smash Port St. Joe made it through the week end holiday free of accidents, but 13 hours after the holidays, a fender-bender at the intersection of Monu- ment Avenue and-Third Street spoiled the care-free period. A compact car, driven by Frankie Abbott of Panama City collided with a second car at the intersection, driven, by Dorothy Sanders Rice of Long- dale, Alabama. According to Police reports of the investigation by officer McKeithen, the Rice vehicle made a left turn into Third Street into the path of the auto driven by Abbott. Miss Sarah Ann Roberts, a passenger in the Abbott- driven vehicle suffered cuts about the head and face and was taken to Municipal Hospi- tal by Gulf County ambulance for treatment.

His findings will be studied by the Board with possible drafting of a bid proposal calling for coverage. by the next regular meeting of July 20. LEND MONEY The Commission agreed to lend the Municipal Hospital $15,000 Tuesday night, to cov- er An expected deficit for the remainder of the present fis- cal year. Hospital Commissioner Ger- ald Sullivan'said the hospital's losses for the present fiscal year will probably total around $100,000, but the insti- tution was able to cover all its operational losses with the exception of possibly $25,000 for the year. He said covering the losses depleted all of the facilities reserves. His prediction of a $100,000 loss for the year was based on the present trend of deficit operations which should cause a $42,000 loss for the remain- Dr. Tom Gibson, shown above, center, passed the president's gavel for the Port St. Joe Rotary Club on to J.

Gibson reported the club had gained two new members during the past year and had accomplished several notable local projects, der of the year. He pointed out the losses may not go that high, since two new doctors will be in the City to begin practice on either July 19 or 20. He said their practice, with offices in,the Hospital, should 'begin to offer some relief to the financial picture' there. MONEY, MONEY The City's new edition of the budget was to be discussed Tuesday night, but the insur- ince presentation took up too much time. A special work session of the Board will be held at 8:00 a.m., Friday, by the Board, to begin work on the budget for the next fiscal year.

EDITORIALS: Getting Harder to Support Carter S-'Try as hard as we might, we're finding it harder and harder every day to convince ourselves to support Jiiimmy Carter for President of the tlnited States. We want to do this very much. It 'would do the South an enormous Amount of good, we think, to have a Southerner in the White House. Too, try as hard as we might to shuck off the traditional Democratic mantle sicie the philosophy of the party haes become so foreign to' what we believe is right, we would like, once again, to cast a vote for a Democrat who thought as.most of us herW in the South think about public matters. Mr. Carter's authorship and embracing of the Democratic plat- form is serving to alienate his neighbors rather tharin bolster his strength at home. On fiscal matters, We.must stick with Jerry Ford, since we think he has done a creditable job ifi the short while he has been in the White House; especially, so consi- dering the mess things were in when he took over. Apparently there are more in the nation like us, since a private poll taken last week show the rank and file of the voters are not as enamoured of Mr.-Carter as were the voters in the primaries. Carter's endorsement of the plan for federalized medical insur- ance, a guaranteed income for the welfare recipient and more federal money pumped into the schools don't sit well with us. ___ We think federal intervention in these avenues in the past is what has made matters as bad as they are. Kids learned to read before the Feds started messing with the schools. People could afford medical treat- ment with their private hospital insurance before the government got into the health care business and welfare was something to be shun-. ned, rather than something to be sought after before the federal gov- ernment got into the business hot aind heavy.. In short,iMr. Carter has said he will take up where Lyndon Johnson left off, and we think everyone will agree that Mr. Johnson's program was a dismal failure. If Carter doesn't change back to his Southern heritage and beliefs, we're afraid we will have to vote for and support Gerald Ford much as we hate to. Just how big is the federal budget? It's hard to imagine when it is stated in dollars. Nobody has ever seen over $400 billion and just looking at the figures isn't too impressive. -According to U.S. News and World Report the federal budget, in $1 bills, would be a stack 28,000 miles high. It would fill a warehouse three miles long, 20 feet high and 52 feet 'Dr. Larry W.

Combined federal, State and local government spending in 1975 ex- ceeded 525 billions equal to 35 percent of all U.S. output of goods and services. The magazine also notes, parenthetically, that in 1950 the bite was "only" 21 percent. Left to right: Rev. Johnie McCurdy, President of the Port St. Joe Unit of the American Cancer Society; Robert H.

GCCC instructional personnel will receive awards of $1,000 and non-instructional staff will receive $700, in addition to the substantial salary in- creases budgeted for the com- ing academic year. The Trustees began their" first meeting of the new year by electing officers. Former Port St. Joe Senator, George Tapper was reelected chair- man, the position he has held since 1969; and Mrs. Helen Sowell, who was appointed to the board in 1973, was elected vice-chairman. - The Board also approved the recommendation from the architectural firm of Biggers, Neal and Clark that work on the College's 50,000 sq. foot Learning Resource Center be considered complete, and that the facility be accepted from the Dyson Construction Com- pany of Pensacola. The Building, constructed at a cost of over $1.5 million, will contain the most modern in- structional aids and a Career Laboratory as well as 'some 30,000 books and 800 periodi- cals. The LRC should be ready for occupancy following a satis- factory inspection by archi- tects from the State Depart- ment of Education. By special agreement with the University of West Flor- ida, signed by the Board, this new facility will be shared with the University's Panama City Center. "This is a move that should prove beneficial to students of both institutions," Dr. Tyree pointed out, "but we do not foresee any long-term gains being made by enmeshing Gulf Coast with the University to the point that our distinct identities and purposes are lost." In other action, the Board approved the addition of cre- dit courses in "Black Histo- ry" and "Traffic Accident Investigation" Precious Cargo Medics are shown here tenderly lifting a small premature baby into the helicopter ambulance to transfer it to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola Saturday.

The transfer was made by helicop- ter operated by the Pensacola Naval Air Station Search and Rescue. A team of four copter crewman and two medics made the transfer to Sacred Heart.

I don't suppose anybody ever had such a fuss played over having a birthday. Certainly nobody ever had a birthday party for three days and had the whole nation to attend. I've heard several people say, "I'm tired of hearing about the Bicentennial ... the word is getting to me!" I'm not tired of it. I think the Bicentennial has done more for making Ameri- cans pause and think kindly and gratefully about their country, than any other happening in history. Frenchie and I celebrated the nation's birthday by scooting up to Warner Robins, Ga., and partaking of the annual barbecue dinner my: brother-in-law puts on at his farm near Perry. workers were presented to Van Bouington, Mary Reeves, Rella. Wexler, Gloria Miller, Audrey Anderson, Phyllis Al- tstaetter and Lea Johnsen. Fifteen area captains and 102 crusaders made the Cru- sade a success. The Port St. Joe Unit encompassed Mexico Beach, Overstreet, Beacon Hill, St. Joe Beach, Highland View, White City, Howard Creek, Jones Homestead, In- dian Pass, Simmons Bayou, Ward Ridge, Oak Grove, and Port St. Joe. He had killed a pig and a goat to put on the sacrificial fire. The cooking, started about nine o'clock Saturday night, after the fire had been burning since noon, making coals. The meat was cooked, slowly, until noon Sunday. A gaggle of about 75 people descended upon the feast like a herd of locusts and before you could turn around, the food was gone. A Georgia barbecue (prounced bah-bu-q up there) is unlike barbecue anywhere else in the world. At a Georgia barbecue, those who think they are top-notch barbecue cooks, gather around the beginnings of a cooking and they'll argue over whether the meat should be put on the coals with the skin side down first or should the 'meat side be put on the fire first? Some will swear by mopping the meat during the cooking process with the sauce others apply nothing until it is cooked. Some salt their meat... again others put on nothing. Some like their fire in the grate before the meat is placed on the grill . others want the grill cold when the meat is put on. Some swear by hickory coals. ..others want oak. Those barbecue cooks are funny people. Our barbecue used up an entire oak tree about 24 inches through the middle, to cook the meat. The tree was just enough to do the job. Driving up Friday afternoon, late, we pulled on 1-75 about 6:30 and got behind two couples . travelling somewhere on two motorcycles. They were evidently travelling together, since they stayed side by side for most of the time we saw them on the Interstate. The men were driving and the ladies lolled on the jump seat, getting burned as brown as a berry by the sun. Everyone on the Interstate was tooling along about 60-65, including the motorcycles. All of a sudden one of the men on the cycles stood up and began to stretch his left leg out. I thought he was getting tired and cramped and was stretching going down the highway at 65 miler per hour. In a few seconds Frenchie said, "Has that girl taken off her shirt?" I looked, naturally, and sure enough, the person on the back of the bike was bare-backed. Being of the investigative type, I said, "I'll just pull up and see what's going on." I pulled up on the outside of the bikes and found out what had happened: that man had swung to the side of his machine, travelling, as I said, 65 miles per hour up the Interstate, and let the woman slide forward to the driver's seat on the cycle. It was the man that had the shirt off. It was also the man who had little sense enough to pull that seat-changing maneuver travelling up a concrete highway at 65 miles per hour. If he had slipped, there would have been a lot of bark peeled about 6:30 Friday afternoon near Cordele, Georgia. I saw a heading on a column of an editorial page the other day which read, "America: She'll Let You Be A Hero Or A Bum". That's true, you know. Not only will our nation let you be a bum, but it'll make sure you get paid a pretty good salary while you're excelling at bum-manship. The weather is hot and the politicians are getting an early start. It should be an interesting summer. Every time you sit down under a shade tree for a cool rest, you're just liable-to have one of the pols there before you for a cooling spell and waiting for a captive audience. Listen carefully to what our candidates have to say. Public officers are costing you a lot of money to maintain these days. Let's be sure we get the best for the money when we vote in September.

Too, the above-mentioned in- surance re-adjustment is ex- pected to take a bigger bite of the budget. FORGET GRANT A letter from the United States Environmental Protec- tion Agency this week said in government-ese that the City could forget any thoughts of receiving $1.5 million in' federal grants toward the cost of the new Wastewater Treat- ment Plant. The grant had been promis- ed when planning of the facility was started about six years ago, but now the EPA is singing a different tune. Their excuse for denying the grant is that the City didn't build the plant according to original plans. Original plans had the out- fall from the plant piped into the Bay rather than exiting into the Gulf County Canal some 1,000 yards from the Bay as it presently does. The letter hints that should the pipe be installed and effluent dumped directly into the Bay the grant may be considered. Since construction of the outfall pipe would run more than the grant, it doesn't seem. likely now the City will ever see this federal money. OTHER BUSINESS In other items of business, the Commission: -Accepted a bid of $7,878.00 from Tractor & Equipment Company for purchase of a tractor and bush hog. -Accepted a bid of $6,432.62 from St. Joe Motor Company for the purchase of two econ- omy pick-up trucks. -Heard the final reading and passed an ordinance re- quiring all future employees of the City to live within the City Limits. -Paid Northwest Florida Planning and Advisory Coun- cil $3,132.34 and Florida En- gineering Associates $6,281.25 for services rendered. -Agreed to instruct the City Planning Commission to up- date its Comprehensive Plan and present it to the City for adoption to bring the City into compliance with state regula- tions. The St. Joseph's Bay Coun- try Qlub is having its annual Invitational Tourney July 17 and 18. This year the tourna- ment has been named the C. W. Roberts Invitational, in honor of the late C. W.

Wilder's work experiences include teacher-coach at Sneads High School, teacher at Port St. Joe Elementary School, principal at Port St. Je High School, associate head- master at Sewanee Military Academy and director of the Gulf County Recreation De- partment. While in school,: Wilder-ser- ved as president of the Port St. Joe High School student body, a member of the Honor Socie- ty and served as captain of the basketball and baseball teams. At Sewanee, he was a university proctor, a member of the honor council, captain of the football and baseball teams and was selected for Who's Who in American Uni- i& versities and Colleges. Wilder is a member of the First Baptist Church, the Port St. Joe Quarterback Club. He was selected as the Jaycees Outstanding Young Man in 1968. In discussing his philosophy, Wilder is quick to emphasize that if we are to be successful in educating our children we must put greater emphasis on reading, writing, and arith- metic. A firm foundation in reading and comprehension, communications, both verbal and written and the basic combination of numbers or basic arithmetic is absolutely Graham and Dianne, who will be enter- ing the ninth grade this fall. Graham is employed by Syl- vachem Corporation. He and his wife, Prances, have lived in Port St. Joe for 19 years. Graham stated there were two main reasons for announ- cing his candidacy. The first is to try and improve the quality of education by getting back to the basic subjects that. the children of Gulf County need, such as reading, writing and arithmetic. The second reason is to try and put the tax payers money where it would do the most good for education. Graham said that if elected, he would work honestly and diligently for the education of the county's children. Teams competing in the tourney will be from Chatta- hoochee, Blountstown, Grand Ridge, Malone, Marianna, Sneads, Wewahitchka and Port St. Joe. Games scheduled for the essential. The candidate continues, "If elected, I pledge to the people of Gulf County I will recom- mend budget changes that will direct more of our educational funds into the classroom where they are so badly needed, improved discipline policies and procedures and improved maintenance, and custodial spryices. Most im- portantly. edge a diligent and untiri., effort toward the idea of emphasizing the basics in our educational system." In closing, Wilder empha- sized he is fully qualified to serve as Gulf County School Superintendent. Money manner." This statement was made by Eldridge Money this week as he offered himself for re-elec- tion. Money has been a citizen of Gulf County for the past 22 years. During this period of time he was a barber for eight years. He worked at Smith's Barber Shop in Wewahitchka and at Cooper's Barber Shop here in Port St. Joe. For the past 14 years he has worked for Sylvachem. He moved to Gulf County from Jackson County where he was born and reared at Grand Ridge. He also finished high school at Grand Ridge and served four years in the Army. Money and his family are active christian workers in the First Pentecostal Holiness Church of Port St. Joe. He has served in many capacities of the church and has been on the board of deacons since the church was established 15 years 'ago. Money has served on the School Board as a member for four years.

Hubert Miller and Family Montez Pitts and Family Mavis Kirkland and Family Myrtle Fox and Family Dalton Miller and Family Margaret Harvey & husband Mary Ann Givens and Family Daniel Miller Medicare Premiums Take An Advance Monthly, premiums on the medical insurance part of Medicare went up beginning July 1. The basic premium rate went from $6.70 to $7.20 a month, according to David Robinson, Social Security Re- presentative for Gulf County. Medicare medical insurance helps pay doctor bills and other medical expenses. The protection is offered to people reaching 65 and over who are eligible for social security or railroad retirement benefits, to disabled people under 65 who have been entitled to social security or similar rail- road retirement disability benefits for 24 consecutive months or more, and to many people under 65 with perma- nent kidney failure. The Medicare law requires an annual review of the cost of the medical insurance pro- gram. Based on this review the basic premium rate would have been increased by over 40 percent or $10.70 a month because of rising costs of medical services covered by Medicare's medical insurance. "But," Robinson said, "the law also limits any increase in the basic premium rate to the percentage that social secur- ity benefit payments in- creased in the previous year. Social security payments in- creased eight percent in 1975, so the Medicare medical in- surance basic premium rate was limited to eight percent starting July 1-to $7.20 a month." The premium is less than half the cost of this protection.. The Federal Gov- ernment pays the remainder from general revenues. "People 65 and over who aren't eligible for social secur- ity or railroad retirement benefits can get Medicare hospital insurance by paying a monthly premium if they also sign up for the medical in- surance," Robinson said. "People can get information about signing up for Medicare by calling, writing, or visiting any social security office," Robinson said. The Panama City social security office is at 1316 Harrison Avenue. The phone number is 769-4871. Society Receives Historic Material and there set up a display of St. Joseph Historical Society materials. When the display was completed, refreshments were served by Mrs. James McNeill, chairman of the Bi- centennial Committee for the society. The St. Joseph Historical Society met Saturday after- noon, July 4, for the last meeting of the second century of Independent America. This meeting, held in the new Fire House, was opened with pray- er by Jesse Stone, expressing gratitude for this nation of ours and for the privilege of being a part of it and asking God's blessings and guidance as we go into the third century. Mrs. Ralph Swatts, Sr., president, led the group in the pledge of allegiance to the flag and explained the origin of the term, "Old Glory". In 1831 Captain William Diiver proudly hoisted an American flag to the masthead of his brig with these words, "I name thee Old Glory". This was forty-six years before the flag was officially adopted by Congress, symbolizing the greatest hope of mankind for freedom. During the course of the meeting, Wayne Childers, who has succeeded Mrs. R. H. Brinsbn as Chairman of the Old Cemetery Project, re- quested additional materials for completing the pump house in the cemetery. The society agreed to provide funds for these necessary materials. As soon as this pump house is completed, the sprinkler system can be in- stalled. The members discussed the possibility of another addition to the Museum, and Jesse Stone agreed to draw up plans to submit to the society at the next meeting. Mrs. Swatts reported having received material from Her- man McNeill of New York, oldest son of the late J.T. McNeill of Indian Pass, giving information about early St. Joe, and expressed the hope that The Star would use it. A copy will be filed with the society. Herman Jones, guest of the society, reported having lo- cated some old wheels in the bay in the vicinity of Oak Grove, aqd offered to raise these wheels if the society would like him to do so. His offer was gratefully accepted, and the society will seek permission to raise the Youth Revival Services The young people of Over- street Bible Church are con- ducting Revival services at Overstreet, July 14-18.

THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1976 ., 1-i.,v ~ It Was A Playful Fourth The Fourth of July holiday was a playful one here in Port St. Joe, With the Northwest Florida Bottle Clubs, the St. Joseph Historical Society and the local Jaycees providing activities for those who wished to browse around, looking at old and historical things and the kids who wished to have a little fun. The Jaycees provided an old-fashioned family Fourth of July series of contests at the Centennial Building which of- 'fered such activities as greas- ed pole climbing, sack races, watermelon eating contest and many more activities. The Bottle clubs brought many bottle collectors to Port St. Joe to show off their collections in the Centennial Building, which drew many people to see their wares.

THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1976 PAGE NINE. Mitchell ChallengesBarron Sam Mitchell, one time member of the Florida House of Representatives, said Thursday that he plans to seek the State Senate seat now held by Senate President Dempsy Barron, D-Panama City. Mitchell, a Vernon Demo- crat, served in the House during the 1955, 1957 and 1959 Sessions of the Legislature. He is principal and a former coach at Vernon High School, and he is a bank director and owner of a mobile home sales business. "I want to be the people's candidate," said Mitchell, who added that he plans to place a limit possibly at $10 per person on contributions to his campaign. He said he expects to seek small contri- 'butions from many suppor- ters, rather than big contri- butions from a few. He'noted that a teacher's union, which has called for the defeat of Sen. Barron, has already endorsed the candi- dacy of Travis Merchant of Tallahassee for the office. Mitchell, who spent his boy- hood years on a Washington County farm, also worked as a youth for International Paper Co. "I feel especially close to the farmers," he said. After graduating from Chip- ley High School, Mitchell at- tended Chlipola Junior College and Livingston University and earned his master's degree at George Peabody College. Mitchell is vice president of the Florida High School Acti- vities Association, and was recently appointed to the State Education Commissioner's Teacher Advisory Council. He is a Mason and a Shriner. His wife is the former Nellie Henders. They have two daughters. He will be campaigning in a district that includes all or parts of Walton, Taylor, Madi- son, Bay, Calhoun, Franklin, Gadsden, Gulf, Holmes, Jack- son, Washington, Jefferson, Leon, Liberty and Wakulla Counties. Since the two-seat district was formed several years ago, the Third Districe Senator has resided west of the Apalachi- cola River, which roughly splits the district geographi- cally, and the other Senator has resided east of the river.
