Gulf School Board Says "No" to Unisex


The Gulf County School Board thumbed
its nose at a federal directive Tuesday and
told the feds they would pursue their
academic activities as they had in the past.
The Feds have come up with a new ruling
which states, in effect, that there will be no
activities segregated according to sex, includ-
ing classes, extra-curricular activities or'
sports activities. The one exception was
sports activities which required bodily con.
tact.
The federal directive would ban all
reference to boy or girl activities, with the one
exception. It would even go so far as to ban
the presentation of "Outstanding Boy and
Girl" awards at graduation.
Included in the sex identification ban
were physical education, classes, clubs,
organizations, lockers, or any other activity
which segregated boys from girls. The
directive said the school couldn't even use sex
discrimination in the distribution of text-
books (whatever that means).
While Superintendent David Bidwell was


reading the list of do nots in the directive, the
Board shook its head, laughed, issued
exclamations of disbelief and finally stomped
its collective foot and said, "no, we won't
accept it".
And that's the way it stands.
There will be a difference between boys
and girls at least in Port St. Joe High
School for as long as the federal stay out of
town.
"Even if they try to force it on us, we're
going to fight it to the last sign on the rest
.room doors7, Board member Gene Raffield
said.
MAKE AN OFFER
The Board made an offer of the job as
superintendent of Wewahitchka High School
to a former coach at the school Tuesday. The
new principal would replace Harrell 'Hollo-
way, who was' recently named to fill the
vacancy left by the retirement of William
Linton, as County Supervisor.,
Clayton, Wooten, now employed in the
Wakulla County school system; was offered


the job at the Board's terms. Whether he will
accept the salary and other stipulations of the
Board remains to be seen. ,
Wooten, along with four others had
applied .for the job.
The nominee has been assistant principal
at Wakulla County High School for the past
two years.
WANT PROPERTY
Port St. Joe Mayor Frank Pate and Clerk
Charles Brock asked the School Board to
donate the City a piece of property behind the
baseball stadium on which to place the city's
new 500,000 gallon water storage tank.
The city had asked for the ,property
previously since it would be centrally located
in a growing portion of the city and would
offer better water pressure in the area as well
as be close to the Oak Grove community for
servicing that water district which will be
installed probably within a year.
After the request was made several
months ago, the School Board had the
property appraised and came up with a value
of $7,650, which they are now asking the city


to pay.
The property is located between the
baseball park fence and Long Avenue next to
a small existing drain ditch through the
property.
Both Pate and Brock said they couldn't
understand the Board's wanting to charge the
city for the property since location of the tank
in this location would give better pressure for
the schools and allow adequate fire protection
through the installation of more fire hydrants.
Presently, the high school complex is
protected by one fire hydrant, "hardly
adequate to protect such a large complex", as
Pate and Brock pointed out.
The city representatives also pointed out
that the School Board had asked the city to
install a water main south on Long Avenue
which would serve only the school. "Installa-
'tion of this line will cost the city approximate-
ly $8,000", the representatives said.
The Board .said they ,would take the new
arguments made by the city into considera-
tion and give their answer in, a short while.

Clinton Ingram, a promin-

is in Gulf County Jail bding
held without bond on a second
degree murder charge after
his venting his pique against a
tavern owner for having him
arrested on a disturbance
charge resulting in the death
of Odell Stewart, 51, of High-
land View, according to Sher-
tid Ra ymond Lawrence. --
Ingram is charged -with
shooting into the side of Pol-
ly's Tavern at Howard, Creek
with a rifle, with one of the
slugs ricocheting and striking
Stewart in the side, killing
him.
As a result of the incident,
Sheriff Lawrence closed the
tavern. This was the third.
shooting death at the same
place of business within a
year.
According to the Sheriff's
Department, the owner of the
tavern, i Pauline Mount had
turned Ingram in to the Sher-
iff's Department for causing a
disturbance early Sunday af-
ternoon.
Ingram was brought to Port
St. Joe by Sheriff's deputies
and charged. He posted a $102
bond and was set free with
orders to appear in county
court for trial on August 2.
Later in the afternoon, In-
gram showed up at the tavern'
with his rifle and proceeded to

The Gulf County Commis-
sion expressed reluctance to
.get into a combined sewer
district with Mexico Beach
Tuesday, when Commissioner
Silas Player, one of the repre-
sentatives at a meeting to set
up the system, explained that
the program was to provide
only sewer to the three beach
communities involved. In a
recent meeting with Mexico
Beach and the J. B. Converse
Engineering firm of Panama
City, it was explained that
federal grants could be ob-
tained to construct a sewer
collection and treatment sys-
tem, taking in Mexico Beach,
St. Joe Beach and Beacon Hill.
The engineers said the grant
could not be obtained unless
all three areas were included
in one project.
Player and Commissioner
Everett Owens, who repre-
sented Gulf County at the
meeting told them they didn't
think Gulf County would be
interested in going along .with
the the project unless a water
er in. system could be included in
y all the plans. "What the beaches
rida. need is good water", Player
re to told the group.
.e. The Commission, in 'its ac-
hoto tion Tuesday, backed up Play-


er and Owens by refusing to
give the project its blessings
unless a water system was
included.
A document from the Con-
verse firm to the Commission
meeting Tuesday asked for
the Commission's approval of
what had been planned thus
far with no obligation to the
county to. go ahead. The
Board's consensus was that
they could not put their OK on
what had been done since they
did not approve it.
Player reported that if the
Commission did approve the
portion of the plans complet-
ed, they would be obligated for
a portion of the engineering
costs. This only stiffened the
opposition to offering the ap-
proval of the Commission.
Player said, "I don't think we
should put money into any
program unless it does the
county some good".
For the record, the County
Commission is interested in
joining in a project with
Mexico Beach to include wat-
er and sewer services for the
beaches area and intend to
consult the Florida Engineer-
ing Services asking for the
feasibility of piping sewage
collected in the beaches area


into the Port St. Joe disposal
plant, rather than construct-
ing a separate disposal plant,
such as the Converse plans
call for.
In other action pertaining to
water and sewer for unincor-
porated areas, the Board in-
structed their attorney, Wil-
liam J. Rish to prepare the
necessary resolution to sell
bonds in the amount of $136,-
300 to construct the Oak Grove
water and sewer system.


The county has no thoughts
of selling the bonds, since the
money will be borrowed from
FHA, a government agency.
One of the stipulations of FHA,
however, is that they must
first be offered for sale to
private lenders before they
will provide the necessary
loan funds.
The resolution will reauirp
the county to underwrite the
bonds with a, portion of the
revenue from federal revenue


sharing funds and Race Track
money.
RESOLUTION
Attorney Rish was instruct-
ed by the Commission Tues-
day to draw up a resolution to
name the new proposed Port
St. Joe library building the
"Corine Gibson Memorial Li-
brary". The move was taken
to acknowledge a substantial
gift toward the construction of

Hospital Is Accredited


Port St. Joe's Municipal
Hospital is capable of offering
quality medical treatment and
care to the people of 'its
service area; or so said the
Joint Commission on Accredi-
tation of Hospitals in a letter
to the institution Mohday of
this week.
The hospital was inspected
by the JCAH recently and
given a clean bill of health
after minor adjustments in
record keeping were taken
care of.
Approval by the JCAH
means the hospital meets


acceptable standards set by
the board to show the institu-
tion offers proper "medical
care. This, in effect, means
the hospital is accredited.

Approval by the JCAH is not
necessary for the hospital to
be accepted by the state of
Florida. The JCAH is an
organization of doctors and
hospital administrators who
offer the inspection service to
keep hospitals up to standards
on a voluntary basis. Gener-
ally, the JCAH standards are
stiffer than those of organiza-
tions who must give their


stamp of approval to its
operation before the doors can
be opened.
Hospital Administrator
David Dunham said, "I think
we are fortunate to pass the
examination so easily. They
hit us with very few demerits
and these were only minor".
Dunham said' hospital care
and practices are constantly
changing and becoming more
stringent. With this in mind,
he said it spoke well for past
management that the facili-
ties here were so up-to-date
and in keeping with require-
ments of the JCAH.

What Is Inflation?


Many people wonder just what
-inflation is. The tax payers of Port
ISt. Joe will find out what it is next
year from present appearances.
Inflation is when it takes more
.money to buy the same thing you
bought last year, only now it is
'packed in the small economy size.
-'As one wag put it recently, the
economy size is big in everything,
except what inflation has touched.
From preliminary indications, it
3eems the people of Port St. Joe will
-pay the same municipal taxes in
.November as they paid last Novem-
Sber; they won't get as many services
-back for their money, however. Here
in the City, the general fund budget


last year was around $980,000. Taxes
collected to finance the budget were
approximately $260,000. Collecting
the same taxes this year to finance
the same total, budget to finance the
same operation will leave the City
about $80,000 short of the money
needed to pay for the same services
as last year.
So, what to do. At present, the
City Commission r thinking toward
cutting services by the $80,000 in
order to balance the budget with the
same income as last year.
In one year, your near $1 million
in City money has eroded by $80,000
in value.
That's what inflation is.


bell and J. Lamar Miller
explored the four statements
in the test and gave their
interpretation of what they
meant.'


My tomatoes have all gone now and I'm
going to start getting ready to harvest my pecan
crop in the fall. My pecan tree, which I have
nourished, petted and cajoled ever since we
moved into our house, did real well this year. It
bore a crop twice as big as last year. A 100
percent gain in production from just one year to
the next is pretty good. You can't argue with
that.
Now, I'm going to go look for a pair of
overalls to wear while I gather my crop when it
ripens. I'll also need a pair of knee pads to keep
my knees from getting sore while down on the
ground picking up the crop. I guess I'll need a
sack too. Maybe I can get Bill Rich, Maurice
Hildbold and George Duren to save me their old
potato sacks to gather my crop in.
This year I took The advice of several old andi
experienced pecan tree growers and put. acan or..

tarians Give Their


ons of 4-Way Test


Suber expanded the first
phrase, "Is It the Truth", by
declaring that evasion of the
truth is equal to an untruth.
Suber said, "We see untruths
in every phase of our exist-
ence". He felt truth in what we
say, think and do is necessary
since these three activities so
vitally affect our everyday
lives.

I Campbell said the second
statement, "Is It Fair to All
Concerned" is akin to the
Golden Rule. "There are two
' basic characteristics of man
which need to be overcome in
keeping this motto and that is
"survival" and "greed". How
far will we go to preserve our
status and will it be fair to
others?" he asked.
Miller. said, in expounding'
on "Will It Build Good Will
and Better Friendships" that
lack of good will and friend-'
ship is the basis of much of the
trouble in the world today;
"Any activity which would
destroy friendship should be
avoided," he said.
In summing up the "test"
with the list statement, "Is It.
Best for All Mankind", pro-
gram chairman Wesley Ram-
sey said, "The real kicker in
the whole "test" is that it is
aimed at considering others
more than ourselves. That's a
hard thing to do and a practice
which requires constant prac-
tice and attention on the part
of all of us".


Women More Likely to


Apply for Social Security


Women are more likely to
qualify for social security
benefits and more likely to re-
ceive them longer, according
to David P. Robinson, Social
Security Field Representative
for Gulf County.
Fifty-one percent of the
Social Security beneficiaries
are adult women, as opposed
to 34 percent for adult males.
The remaining 15 percent are
child beneficiaries.
Women even manage most
of the last 15 percent, since
children's benefits most often
are paid to the mother on the
child's behalf, Robinson con-
tinued. In reality, then,
women are receiving or are
responsible for benefits pay-
able to almost two-thirds of
the 32 million social security
beneficiaries now on the rolls.


Some women also wonder
what advantages there are 'for
working when they will be
eligible to receive on their
husband's social security.
Their family could benefit in
many instances from their
work. For example, children
can receive on their mother's
record-as easily as they can on
their father's record. There-
fore, in case the mother gets
disabled not only can the
mother receive monthly bene-
fits but the children can also
receive. Or in the case of the
mother's death, the children
can. receive on their mother's
work.
There are other advantages.
1) The wife can possibly re-
ceive more on her own record
when -she retires. 2) There is
lump sum death payment


made at death. 3) If a wife is
older than her husband, she
could begin to receive social
security and Medicare bene-
fits earlier. And, 4) in case"
of her husband's death, she
could receive 'on her husband
at age 60 and then change over
and receive her own social
security when she reaches age
65 and avoid having to take
a reduced amount on her own
social security.
Robinson concluded by ask-
ing anyone having questions to
get in touch with the social
security office. The office is
located at 1316 Harrison Ave-
nue, Panama City.

to make it bear better. Like I said: I got the
results ... the tree bore twice as much fruit this
year as last year.
I'm going to keep my eye on the tree until the
crop ripens. I don't think the one pecan will be
enough to divide between me and the squirrels.

Queen Elizabeth, who was vacationing in the
United States last week, said her forebear, King
George I made the mistake of not listening to the
complaints of the colonists. She thought maybe if
old King George hadn't been so stubborn, the
United States may still be, a colony of England.
Having King George as our great white
father may have some advantage at that. Rather
than our nation going socialist bit by bit in these
trying times, we would already be fully socialist.
Queen Elizabeth shouldn't look at us with too
covetous aanature,. If Great Britian, had our
national debt aio' g with their pfe'snt money
*' wbe6 they would be most undone. As it is, both of
us owe more money than exists and both are still
operating.
I'm glad we're two separate nations, though.
As it is, we have had the privilege of knowing
such sterling Englishmen as Rev. Sidney Ellis
and the late Rev. Charles Harthern, who lived
here several years ago. Had we all been under
one leader, they would have had no incentive to
come here.

If you didn't get a pet rock back when they
.were going like hot cakes, never fear; now you
can get in on another good thing.
I see where someone is selling pieces of the
Golden Gate Bridge- Some fellow (it must be the
same guy who popularized the pet rock) is
getting his hands on the old worn out cable taken
off the bridge, cutting it up into three inch pieces
and having them plated with gold, silver or
brass. Then he's selling them for $25.00 to $50.00
a piece, depending on the type plating.
Everybody ought to have a piece of the
Golden Gate bridge.
People just don't throw away anything
anymore not even worn out bridge cables.
Gene Raffield says they don't throw away fish
heads or entrails anymore. They're sold for bait
and even for food. Waste paper and kitchen
garbage now goes into the compost heap. The
Reynolds truck comes around periodically and
picks up scrap aluminum. The bottle collectors
are collecting the old bottles. Scrap paper is
re-cycled. Old clothes are\ given to Good Will.
The thing which mystifies me is, that with all
this utilization of scrap, why are the road sides
still paved with beer cans?

The House Investigating Committee has
decided to reprimand Congressman Bob Sikes
for supposedly taking unfair advantage of his
position.
I don't know whether he did anything wrong
or not. I haven't heard the evidence as we
gather from reading the papers, the ethics
committee has heard only the side against the
Congressman. This hardly seems fair, even if he
is as guilty as sin.
I don't know if the committee solved any
wrong doing or not. One thing they did, though, is
assure the Congressman of another term.
Though there is a hard corps of people from this
area who cuss the Congressman, they are too
aware of the fact that he has put a lot of dollars in
the pockets of the people in the Panhandle -
even if he might have put a few in his own in the
process, as Common Cause has charged. This
still has to be proven, we would think, before any
action can be taken.
One good. piece, of information came out of
the hearings. We now know how old the
Congressman is. He is 70. Don't be foolish enough
to think you can keep up with him in a walking
contest, even if you are a vigorous 20.

to be a school teacher or a bus
driver. In doing this we'd be
able to give the bus drivers a
raise and still save money.
"I'd like to see the school
grounds policed a little better.
. We have students leaving our
school grounds without
authority all times of the day.
"I'd like for one night out of
every six weeks set aside for
,the School Board, Superin-
tendent and the teachers to get
together and discuss any pro-
blems either side might have.
"More emphasis should be
put on students taking care of
school property.
"I will do as much to dis-
courage the use qf tobacco in
any form in our school as-
Imuch as some have done to
encourage it. We have some
good children in our schools
today, and we have more who
could be, if they were just
given a helping hand.
".Gulf County has been good
to me and my family. I think
we have the greatest country,
the greatest state, and the
greatest county in the world.
If we all work together we can
make Gulf 'County an even
better place to live and edu-
cate our kids."


particular here in our own
county, it seems that a large
percentage of students cannot
read, write or do arithmetic.
Our first concern for these
students should be to teach
them these skills. Since these
skills are necessary for almost
any other program they must
take, we are wasting our
money and our students' lives
when we fail to teach them
these skills. As I have already
indicated, the function of edu-
cation is to prepare an ind vi-
dual to take his place in
society. Each one of our chil-
dren deserves the chance to be
the best in his chosen field. We
can have the best educational
system in Florida, but only if
we all work together and use
our resources wisely.
"If elected superintendent, I
promise an effective program
in the basic skill areas with
early diagnosis of deficiencies
and specific programs to
bring the student up to stan-
dard. I will -also dedicate
myself to the proposition that
Gulf County can and will be
number one in education."

After A Lengthy Illness


Mrs. Dessie A. McCombs,
61, a resident of St. Joe Beach,

Hanlon believes like many
others that we should get back
to the fundamentals of edu-
cation. He says every child
who is graduated from a Gulf
'County school should be able
to read, write, speak and be
able to do numbers. Hanlon is
for total education for every-
one, every child-from the
slow, brain-injured child to the
fast, exceedingly bright child;
and, for the super athlete to
the child confined to a wheel
chair. "No child should have
to leave this county to get a
good education," he said.
Hanlon said he wants to help
bridge the gaps between our
children and their parents
with the teachers, principals
and other administrative offi-
cials. He believes that if we
shortchange our children to-
day, they will pay for it during
their productive years. Han-
lon also believes that educa-
tion is costly, of course, but
the price of ignorance and
illiteracy is even greater.
Hanlon states that we must
give renewed attention to our
schools not only for our chil-
dren's sake but for the sake of
democracy, "for without pro-
per quality education today,
we\ cannot train our youth to
make democracy function
well tomorrow."

Protection
For over 5,000 years, RX has sym-
bolized man's weapons against
S disease. The ancient Egyptiahs
used the magic eye of Horus,
God of Day, as a charm to guard
them against ills and suffering.
Centuries later, the eye reap-
peared in a form similar to our
"4" and evolved gradually into
its present RX. But your doctor
doesn't depend on Horus or
Jupiter... he relies on your Rexall
Pharmacist and the improved
drug products your pharmacist
stocks. You, too, can rely on
Rexall Ifrand products.

Leo C. Jones became Assis-
tant State Attorney for the six
counties under the late J.
Frank Adams in 1967. He
became State Attorney in 1972
upon the retirement of Mr.
Adams and has served as
State Attorney since that time.
In announcing his candida-
cy, Mr. Jones said that he was
proud of the progress he and
his staff in the six counties had
made during implementation
of Article 5 which has com-
pletely revised the State At-
torneys Office since January
1, 1973.
Mr. Jones said, "While we
are proud of our conviction
record in convicting those that
need to be convicted, we are
by no means satisfied with the
crime rate in Florida and will
continue to do our best to
make it harder on those who

Walter Sims Is Republican

U. S. Senate Candidate


Walter Sims, Republican
candidate for the United
*States Senate, last Tuesday
morning officially qualified as.
a candidate in the Republican
primary.
"We have put together a,
top-notch staff, and have a-
massed one of the best grass-
roots political organizations I
have seen in Republican poli-
tics," Sims said after filing for
the race, "and, I'm anxious to
get rolling."
The candidate continued his
attack on his possible primary
opponent, Dr. John Grady, in
a brief statement issued at the
State Capitol.
"I have released my finan-
cial' statement, detailing my
holdings and how my previous
campaigns were financed. I
have even disclosed those
people who have contributed
to my campaign so far in this
race, and will do so again,"
Sims said.
"But," he continues, "my
opponent has yet to do any-
thing but tell news people that
the source of $20,000 he used in
his last campaign is, and I
quote, 'nobody's business'."
Sims told a handful of
Capitol Hill reporters that he

Unexpected Funds Allows Library




to Resume Normal Schedule


Some unexpected, tempor-
ary funds have been provided
the public library that will
enable it to resume a schedule
almost like the one that had to
be so severely curtailed last
November, according to Jane
Patton, Director of Libraries.
Mrs. Patton recommended
to the financial committee
that hours be extended in
those libraries most severely
cut last fall. Library board
chairman Clay Lewis stressed
the fact that this is temporary,
and in no .way corrects the
severe problems of cost of
living pay increases, promo-
tions, added facilities, .'and
inequities in retirement plans.
Mr. Lewis stated that the
finance committee, headed by.
the late Nick McCommon has
been as deeply concerned over
cut hours as the library staff
and public has been. The
library has received several
grants, he said, but they could
not be used to add hours. The


planned for Gulf County. Re-
cently, it received a book
grant for $3,500.00 from the
Florida Bicentennial Commit-
tee. Organizations and indivi-
duals have presented gifts of


money for books. All of these,
welcome as they are, do not
pay for staffing public service
desks. In fact, he and Mrs.
Patton explained, more staff
time is required for planning,


acquisitions, and processing.
The new CETA funds come
in the form of reimbursement
of the pay received by quali-
fied personnel that can be
hired for public areas.


In Gulf County library hours
will be extended as follows:
Monday, 1:00-8:00, Tuesday
and Friday, 10:00 to 6:00,
Thursday, 1:00 to 6:00 and
10:00 to 2:00 on Saturday.

TALLAHASSEE-As candi-
date qualifying started at noon
last Tuesday, Lawton Chiles
stepped into the Secretary of
States office here and filled
out the necessary papers mak-
ing him officially a Democra-
tic candidate for the office he
now holds.
At the same time Chiles
filed an updated campaign
financial report showing total
contributions of some $205,000.
The new report is for the
second quarter, 1976.
With the senator's voluntary
commitment to accept no
contribution more than $10,
his campaign funds have been
provided by more than 20,500
people, almost tripling the
previous record for number of
contributors to a state candi-
date. That record of 7,800 was
set in 1974 by Gov. Reubin
Askew's successful re-election
drive.
In announcing his $10 contri-
bution limit last year, Sen.
Chiles said he hoped to attain
a goal of 40,000, contributor's
making up: "the largest cam-
paign committee in the history
of our state or any other."
Chiles explained the $10
concept is more than a means
to financing his campaign...
"We want to get people in-
volved, at a level they can
afford, and everyone on an
equal footing. No big contribu-
tors. We're calling this the
'one equal share' campaign
and each contributor becomes
an 'equal shareholder'."
The senator, seeking his
second term, said his aim is to
continue his "fight to control
federal government costs and
promote efficiency in spend-.
ing." ..

conded by Whitfield, all voted
YES' to approve 'the Florida
Learning Resource Systems
program for education of the
handicapped.
Motion was made by Greer,
seconded by Raffield, that the.
board accept the Port St. Joe
High School Program for 1976-
77 as presented. All voted.
YES.

tions for our local problems."
"As President of the State

his power to tell "His Senate"

where to dig, without telling us
why, or providing us with the

tools to do the job. The end
result being local government
having to comply with, not
only unnecessary but, unrea-
sonable state control over
local governmental affairs,
causing local taxes to go up,
not to meet local needs, but to
comply with state require-
ments."
Marchant said he is inter-
ested and qualified to serve
Northwest Florida in the State


Senate.
He was born and raised in
Chipley, in Washington Coun-
ty. His wife is from Panama
City, in 'Bay County, while
they live with their daughters,
Michelle and Brady, in Talla-
hassee they have deep roots
and good friends throughout
the district. "It is our hope
that they will let us serve them
as their State Senator", the
candidate said.
