T14IRTY-NINTH FA NUMBERaPD 47 HK E STA Industry Deep Water Port Fine People Safest Beaches in Florida PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA THURSDAY, JULY 22, 1976 Legend has "The Four Horsemen" listed as pesti- lence, disease, drought and famine. The "Four Horse- men" in the Gulf County budget this year are utilities, retirement, insurance and workman's compensation. These four items will cause the County Commission to raise taxes this year by around 1.3 mills or they will pass a miracle similar to that of Jesus walking on the water. Again this year, the Com- mission is taking the conserv- ative view in their budget- making, just as they did last year. Even so, in the General Fund alone, over $7p,000 ignore money will be'needed, just to satisfy "the four horsemen". Tentatively, the Commission has increased the General Fund budget. jby a total of $129,402.86. Last year; this budget took the brunt of many. uncertain- ties and was only a shadow of its plan at the end of the fiscal year. Even though the budget' was "tight" last year, the county spent $122,828.22 more . from this fund than was re- ceived in revenue. Spending was within thie plan; revenue was not. The county received some $40,000 less in taxes than was anticipated due to errors, wrong assessments, etc. Several items will be in- creased and some were de- creased in the big catch-all General Fund in the first round of budget planning. The largest increase in any one department is Courthouse Op- erations with an increase of $20,500. Of this amount, $16,500 goes for utilities with most of the remainder for insurance, and related items for em- ployees. The biggest cut in the General Fund was the Civil Defense budget, which vwas reduced $1,842 fromthe asking figure of the director. Finan- cial Officer Jerry Gates re- ported the County had saved $6,157.00 last year by combin- ing Civil Defense and the Veterans' Service Office .__ Largest increases in the budget will be $16,800 for Courthouse operations; $16,- 501.82 for Mosquito Control: all brought about .by a $23,430 increase in retirement pay- ments, $23,430 increase in workman's compensation and increases in utilities. Most items in the budget, without wages to pay which require heavy contributions to various funds, were left as they were last year or reduc- ed slightly. These included Library services, Guidance Clinic, Civil Defense, Big Bend Health contribution, election expense, etc. ROAD AND BRIDGE The road and Bridge Fund, one of the larger users of government funds, requested an increase of $32,988158, but was cut back to a $2,988.58 increase for a total of $382,395. Big increases, again Ivere in the "horsemen" and fuel. An increase 'f $30,00Q had- bet' requested to, buy new" trucks, but the increase was (Continud on Page 3) 'London Bridge Fell' This pre-stressed concrete bridge 'collapsed last week and fell into a drainage canal at the foot of Palm Boulevard. The bridge was installed several years ago by the County to provide school children in the area a route to school without having to get out on the street walking and riding bicycles. The bridge was made from a pre-stressed concrete beam and should have been sturdy. There was nobody on the bridge at the time of its collapse. -Star photo New Bank Director DR.

Ted Cannon and club secretary Jbhn Miller at 5:00 p.m. At 7:00 p.m. he will, hear reports .of committee projects and activities at a club assembly. He will ad- dress the club at its regular weekly meeting at 12:15 p.m. Rotary is an international service organization founded in Chicago in 1905.

Rotary District 694 encom- passes 48 clubs in north Flor- ida from Ocala on the south to Jacksonville on the east coast to Pensacola in west Florida. Webb was elected District Governor at the 1976 Rotary International Convention in New Orleans, La.

Dr. Richard Morley, retired president ofP Gulf Coast Com- munity College in Panama City was elected as a director of the Florida First National Bank at Port St. Joe last week. Morley, a resident of' Bea- con Hill,. and well known throughout Gulf County, was elected at the regular meeting of the Bank's board of direc- tors last Tihursday to fill the vacancy on the board left by the death of S. L. Barke. In addition to serving on the bank's board, Morley is also President Emeritus of Gulf Coast; Executive Secretary of the college, Foundation; a member of the Board of Trustees, Baptist Bible Insti- tute in Graceville and a mem-' ber of the Board of Trustees, Southern Association of Col- leges and Schools. Dr. Morley has already assumed his duties as a direc- tor of the bank. The City of Port St. Joe has been notified by the State of Florida that its Municipal Court must be phased out by January 1. The notice also set out requirements of the City in transferring the duties and records of the court over to the County Judge to administer any future court procedures. The City objected to trans- fer of the court to the jurisdic- tion of the County Judge, but Florida law intervened and said, "nothing doing". The Commission voted Tuesday night to send City Clerk Mike Wright to a short course being held in Tampa to fully explain the City's role in any future court cases. MAKE PURCHASES The Commission, received bids on two projects Tuesday night, awarding one and hold- ing the other for further study before a decision to purchase is made. Kolmetz Construction Com- pany of Panama City was awarded, a contract at their 'bid price of $22,000 to re-build the City pier in St. Joseph Bay Voter Registration Books Will Close This Saturday Afternoon Saturday marks the last day prospective voters in the Sep- tember primaries may regis-- ter to vote. Dessie Lee Parker, Super- visor of Elections, has an- nounced extended office hours for this week to enable more people to be able to register: The Supervisor's office will be open from nine a.m. to seven p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week. This will be the last oppor-. tunity for those wishing to vote in the first and second pri-' maries to register. The books -will close Saturday, July 24, for these two primaries. The books will remain open .until' September for the general election on November 2. No New City Taxes w Iy *'.v Tentatiye approval of the new City budget is practically the same as last year's finan- cial plan, with no increase in taxes planned and only slight increases in expenditures. The tentative income for the coming year is only $14,907 more than last year. The big increase will be in property " taxes,. $16,935, but this source of revenue brought in more than planned last year. Last year, the budget called for $251,110 in property taxes and the City received $266,- 895.33 after all taxes had been paid. This year, $268,045 was budget as tax receipts. Major declines in expected revenue are $16,464 in Reve- nue Sharing Funds, $5,000 in fines and forfeitures, $3,000 in parking meter receipts and $3,000 in garbage fees. These reductions are lower than budgeted last year and are based on actual income from these sources last year. Increases in. revenue are expected in utility taxes ($4,- 000), franchise tax ($4,000), parking tickets, ($1,500) inter- est earned and purchase dis- counts, $1,000 each. i EXPENDITURES Increases in expenditures for the coming year are reflected in Municipal build- ing ($4,730), Police Depart- ment ($2,737), Fire Depart- ment ($3,175), Streets and Highways ($11,974), Garbage. and trash removal ($9,952), Parks and cemeteries ($8,- 009), contingencies ($40,000), Enthralled by "Frog Prince" These three young girls sit enthralled as they watch "The Frog Prince", a puppet show presented this past Tuesday at the Port St. Joe Branch Public Library. Twice weekly, the ,Warehouse and garage ($9,- 000) and several other smaller items. ' Reductions will be shown in the budgets for the City Clerk's office, Municipal Court, contributions and bond amoritization. WATER AND SEWER Expenditures in the Water and Sewer fund are expected to be iower in the new budget year by $243,997. This is due to completion -of construction projects in the present fiscal year. The total Water 'and Sewer budget is expected to be $1,734,811. This budget will be self sustaining for the 'present (Continued on Page 3) Fixed Charges Push County Budget Upward "' y: " Library presents a story time and puppet shows for the enjoyment of area youngsters.

Kolmetz will begin work in the near future on the project. The new pier was designed by the City Building Inspector, E. F. Gunn, who was charged with the responsibility of clos- ly monitoring the construction project, especially the piling work. Jack Cocke and Company was the apparent low bidder on a new fire truck for the City. The firm bid $48,000 on a 1,000 GPM pumper, mounted on a Ford truck chassis. Other bids were: Charles L. McLarty, $50,222 and W. Q. Dowling, $54,219.94. The fire truck will be paid for with Revenue Sharing funds. LIONS REQUEST The Port St. Joe Lions club asked the Commission to con- sider a joint effort with the County and School Board in construction of a two field lighted softball complex on the rear of the School Board's property at Port St. Joe High School. The Commisston took the position of being willing to consider the project. In related matters, John Robert Smith asked the Board to complete its sprinkler sys- tem in the Fifth Street median to the end of the four-lane drive beyond the Courthouse and furnish sprinkler services from Woodward to Highway 98. Smith said he would volun- teer to see the area was -properly cared for if proper water facilities were installed. EPA LETTER A letter from the Environ- mental Protection Agency this week has told Ithe City it will not even be considered for a federal grant toward the cost of its Wastewater Treatment Plant if it doesn't proceed with original plans to construct an outfall line into St. Joseph's Bay. At present the outfall is in the. Gulf County Canal, about 1,000 yards east of the Bay. The -proposed grant is for $1.9 million. Cost of the outfall line would be as much or more than the proposed grant. Another paragraph in the letter charges that the city is damaging the water quality in the canal with its outfall which isn't as the original design called for. At times the input and outfall are greater than the original design calls for. The paragraph disturbs the Commission, since records kept on the water quality prior to and after the system went into operation, shows the wa- (Continued on Page 3) City Court Being Abolished J h 15 Cents Per Copy ~- L"'~"'~ --~~~~' ~'-~~ I T"IKYY--!-NINI" TUAK, NUMOMm -tl PAGE TWO THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla.

But there was a great weep- ing and wailing and gnashing of teeth among the righteous men of the party, saying, What is this that has come to pass? Who is this Hubert, that he should be nominated by the bosses in their smoke-filled tents when verily he hath not set foot in a single primary? 5. And it came to pass that the hosts of the righteous, being many, set forth a decree that never more shouldst the unrighteous bosses foregatherr in their smoke-filled tents to thwart the prophets of the primaries. And lo, they decreed primaries beyond number, even as the sands of the sea, unto the .number of 30. 6. And the years passed. And behold, there came forth out of the land of Georgia another prophet, whose name was Jimmy. And he wandered in the peanut patches and fell on his knees and prayed unto the Loid every hour upon the hour. 7. And the Lord said to him: Go .forth, Jimmy, and compete in the primaries decreed by the righteous, merely uy winning primaries. Yea, what is a convention, but a meeting of various bosses? And there was a great roar of agreement from the righteous, even though within an eight-year past they had been saying ye precise opposite. 12. And the prophet Jimmy heard of their taking counsel, and he 'rose up and said: If ye thwart the' will of the primary voters, ye shall surely lose the election. And there came wise men from CBS saying, verily, .the prophet Jimmy knoweth whereof he' speaketh. If the right- eous shall thwart the will of primary voters, surely the Democrats will perish in November. And the party wise men were sore confounded. 13. But the righteous heard it not, and they continued their coun- sels against the prophet Jimmy. 14. And the wise men asked: What sayest, Lord? And He said, the reformers have made their bed but don't want to lie in it. And behold, He added: Inconsistency, thy name is politics. -The Washington Star Hubert Deserved Better Evidently Hubert Humphrey be- lieves even more firmly now that the wrath of God has been called down upon his public usefulness after the Democratic convention. The Minnesota product, who sticks around like the most famous .product of that state, scotch tape, surely must have drawn the conclu- sion that his fellow Democrats were -keeping him in the background as ,much as possible. Hubert's speech was timed for the convention to go over nationwide TV at the precise moment of the annual baseball All-Star game. What chance did Humphrey have for his words of wisdom to rise above the roof of Madison Square Garden? Hardly any. At the moment, Mark Fidrych has gained a more firm hold on the nation's interest than has Hubert Humphrey. We think it was a dirty trick to schedule Hubert in this particular spot, when the nomination of the draft dodger was allowed prime nation-wide coverage. Out of deference to Hubert's past service to the party, we think these two spots in the convention should have been switched with each other. Surge of Voters Secretary of State Bruce Smathers, the state's chief elections official, has called for a surge of voter participa- tion in Florida's elections "that would make us all proud in this Bicentennial Year." "Let the 1976 elections sound the death knell for that ghost which has been haunting us: the ghost of voter apathy. Let's put it to rest forever. This is the greatest nation and the greatest democracy on earth, and it can stay that way only through citizen participa- tion," Secretary Smathers said. Secretary Smathers said that the first date citizens should be "keenly aware of" is July 24. That is the date the -ivoter registration books close ,for local and state primaries. "Register to vote now. If you are not registered to vote, you cannot have a voice in the selection of our present and future leaders," Secretary Smathers said. "But registering is only a first step to full citizenship commitment. The next step is to get involved and to vote," the Secretary of State said. ETAOIN SHRDLU By WESLEY R. RAMSEY Several years ago, my preacher, describing himself, said the sure signs of middle age were the advent of the three "B's" showing up on a person especially a man. The preacher olined that with the coming of Baldness, Bifocals and Bunions, middle age-had settled in for good and there was nothing a man could do but learn to live with it. It was funny as the devil then; especially in the middle of a sermon when everyone is looking for any excuse at all to do something except sit there, looking interested. The joke gave pause for a chuckle and an excuse to squirm around in the pew and look at your neighbor, giving a knowing glance. Now, it isn't so funny. It isn't so funny because I have had one of those three "B's" clamp firmly 'on me and make me dependent' upon one of the cures' Last week, old Doc Grace fitted me with my"tirst pair of bifocals. Again, that old saw, "I can't see with them and I can't see without them", also took on new meaning. It isn't just a joke it's the gospel. I went a long time without needing glasses, but suddenly, the print started running together and the printers of books and newspapers were doing a lousy job with their ink control. Everything was fuzzy; no craftsmanship at all. Teachers Unhappy Over Lack of Salary Increase For the past several weeks, negotiations between teachers and management in Gulf County Schools have beep moving along smoothly, with' little to no disagreement. Tuesday afternoon, things livened up when the matter of salary was brought up. The meeting didn't adjourn until late in the evening, with the teachers unhappy about the matter. Management pro- posed no salary increases this year and added a stipulation that teachers put in an eight hour day. They presently are . required to work for seven and a half hours a day. This caused consternation in the teacher camp, which had agreed last year to no salary increase in a period of run- away inflation. The teachers agreed to the move last year since the county was levying its limit in mills and state participation was cut slightly. This year, the teachers say the County will receive nearly $180,000 in additional state funds and they should be given a salary increase. There will be more to report on this matter. "Knots" to Light White House Florida's Apalachicola Na- tional Forest will provide outdoor lighting for a recep- tion next Tuesday evening on the White House lawn. Natio- nal Forests in Florida Forest Supervisor Don Percival says that 30 bushels of famous southern "pine knots" or "lighter wood" will be needed to fuel old wood burning lamps to use on this occasion. Theses lamps were common in the days before readily available fuel oil and electricity. 0 to the Editor Dear Mr. Ramsey, On behalf of the Adult Acti- vity Center, I would like to thank the staff, members of the Board of Directors, clients, parents and friends who helped sell tickets for the raffle which the Center held.

Now, I'm doomed to go through life nodding "yes" at everyone while I try to find them in the part of my glasses which can make them out clearly. I just hope I am not misunderstood some day while nodding "yes". I guess, if I ever get this crick out of my neck from nodding my head, I'll get along pretty well with the bifocals. After all, if I ever get the danged things focused in on what I'm trying to see, they work. Mostly, though, they are just a pain in the neck. Our "Georgia doctor", Wayne Hendrix, naturally is a Carter man., Wayne, coming from near Cartersville, and a candidate a native of Q.S ,with .the name of Carter, just 9uldn't:,be~W;rong,:. Wayne surmises. So he has, gone nuts over the peanut grower from Plains and is busily shelling out his opinion to any who will listen. He cornered me the other day and told me all about what a fine man Jimmy Carter is and hdw he'll make a cracking good President.. . mostly because he comes from Georgia and his name is Carter. It's rare you'll pin Wayne Hendrix down on a political candidate (though his wife, Ruth, is another matter altogether). He's easy-going, never gets in a hurry and takes things pretty much as they come, This Carter-for-President thing has made him flip his normal cool and get roasted up about the election. The Georgia emigrant doctor told me the other day he has had Pat Brady, who really runs things around at his clinic, to plant peanuts in the flower beds which decorate the place. Wayne says on the day after the election in November, he is going to harvest the. peanuts and have a victory peanut boiling. It just might be worth it to have Carter elected in order to get the opportunity to see Wayne Hendrix with a potato rake in his hands harvesting peanuts. At any rate, if the big boil comes off, I'm going to be there. Two things I won't miss and that's a peanut boiling and seeing a man with a hoe in his hand who doesn't ordinarily handle such implements. If Carter doesn't win, Pat will probably be faced with the task of plowing those peanuts - and Wayne under. The watermelons this year have been extra fine. I've had several good ones. Otis Davis, Jr., brought me two out of his patch the other day which were fit to eat, let me tell you. By the way, Otis, they are both gone now. One writer said the other day that the only backbone shown in the pre-olympic games meeting to see if the Taiwan Chinese would be allowed to participate in the games was that of the Taiwan delegation itself. As you now know, the chinese were not allowed to call themselves Chinese and partici- pate in the olympics. The Americans said,,"let them play or we won't" and then backed down. The Canadians said "they can't come into our country proclaiming to be the Republic of China" because the Communist Chinese told them to or forget the lucrative wheat purchases China makes from Canada. The Taiwanese said that they were Chinese and if they couldn't appear as such, they just wouldn't appear. And they didn't. I thought the olympics was a world-wide display of sportsmanship.

TENTATIVELY APPROVED All of these budget matters were tentatively approved at the budget planning meeting last Wednesday evening, but are still subject to changes and manipulations before the final draft is made of the financial plan. (Contifnued from Page 1) City Budget Holds -Line time, but indications are that some adjustments in revenue will have to be made in the near future. WASTEWATER PLANT An increase in operations costs for. the Wastewater ,Treatment plant is expected at $159,091 for a total budget of $2,398,022 for the coming year. Most of this increase is for fuel, which takes $75,000 of,the increase in operation costs. Social Security Info Free Some books sold as social security information are use ful, but there are others thai are inaccurate, misleading overpriced, and deceptively advertised, according to pa- vid Robinson, Social Security Representative for Gulf Coun ty. "The Social Security Ad- ministration doesn't discour- age the sale of commercial publications," Robinson said. "At the same time, we don't endorse any non-government publication. People can get free, accurate, up-to-date pub- lications and other informa- tion about social security by contacting any social security office." Social security information is organized and illustrated in a different way in some com- mercial books, according to Robinson. "Some of them are well done," he said. "But the information in them isn't sec- ret of inside. If advertising suggests it is, the advertising is false." Some advertising hints that a publisher has an official connection with the Social Security Administration and has access to people's social security records, according to Robinson. "This is never true," he said. "No advertiser has access to other people's social security records. These records are confidential under the law." "Dramatic" claims for books can be misleading, Ro- binson said. "For example: an advertisement says readers will learn 'how to collect $300 a month from social security at age 30 while you are working full time.' The book tells you ,what any social security office will tell you without charge: if a young father and mother are both working under social security and one dies, their children may get monthly social security payments." People can call, write, or visit any social security office for information about" the re- tirement, disability, survi- vors, Medicare, and supple- ,mental security income pro- grams, Robinson said. The, Panama City social security office is at 1316 Harrison Avenue. The phone number is 769-4871. The Social Security Adminis- tration is an agency of the U.S. Department of Health, Educa- tion, and Welfare. Senator Dempsey J. Barron I announced today that he will seek reelection as the senator t from the 3rd district. / , "When the Senate convened this year we faced the pro- spect of over $300 million in proposed tax increases. In- creases were suggested of 7,5 percent in the gas tax, in- creased taxes from local pro- perty taxes required for schools, increased taxes on alcoholic beverages and tobac- co, increases in hunting and fishing license' fees and many t others., "Under the most difficult of circumstances, when often times I stood almost alone, we were successful in opposing and defeating all of those taxes. Yet we were able to provide all necessary services of government, including $96 million in additional dollars for public schools. Each of the counties in my district will receive considerably more Money next year than they Be Alert Passing, Turning T he Florida Highway Patrol reminded motorists today that passing or turning on Flori- da's highways requires that drivers be alert for vehicles approaching from the rear. "Florida law prohibits changing lanes, direction or course while a vehicle is attempting to overtake or pass your vehicle. This includes making a left turn while being passed," said Colonel Eldrige Beach, director of the Florida Highway Patrol. ' Patrol records showthis is a \ common violation resulting in accidents and occurring most frequently on two lane roads. Giving a signal before a turn does not grant the right-of- way. A driver intending to turn left is required to "be. certain no vehicles are ap- .'proaching closely from either directionh before- making the turn," said the Patrol com- mander. "Most vehicles are now equipped with an outside rear view mirror. Use it wisely and often, as you use any safety equipment and it will save, your life," concluded Beach. 10 lb.

Two Changes In Fishing License Law Action by the 1976 Legisla- ture has resulted in two changes in license require- ments for freshwater fisher- men. Effective July 1, no fishing license is required for any resident fishing with not more than three poles and lines in his home county. This does not apply to fish management areas, however, John W. Woods, chief of fisheries for the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission, explained. "Fishing licenses will still be required for anglers .who wish to use any of the 50 fish management areas located throughout the state," Woods said. Also effective July 1, totally and permanently disabled residents are exempt from fishing, license requirements while fishing by any method anywhere in the state. ELECT -- F. R.

Those to be. judged in violation of the rules must prove their innocence. The film narrator also said that those who oppose any citation in court invariably pay higher fines than those who don't.

The film pointed out that OSHA was founded in 1970 to require standard safety prac- tices in American industry and was now making -unrea- sonable demands of the na- tion's business world. Penalties of up to $1,000 can be levied against a business found to be deficient in OSHA requirements upon inspection.

Ailes came to the local clinic on July 1, replacing, Dr. Conger, who has been named director of the Bay County Guidance Clinic. The Bay County Clinic , is the source of personnel who operates the local clinic. Ailes (pronounced"-4ales") said the local clinic now has full time services to offer from trained psychologists and con- sulting services from a psy- chiatrist. The clinic provided its services to 2,000 people in fiscal 1975-76. "We don't operate for crazy people", Ailes told the Rotar- ians. "We try to help people solve any recurring problem which resists solution through consulting and chemo-ther- apy". The speaker fielded several questions from the audience which were related to the types of problems they treat. Ailes answered by saying the clinic serves people in helping to solve marital, child disturb- ances, anxieties, etc. .. j1moaoumeuuomugueou+fouuoueuoeuoummeueueineur If you don't tell people. * a I' How are they going to know?

Inspirational Film to be Shown At Oak Grove "The Cross and the Switch- blade", an inspirational mo- tion picture with Pat Boone starring as David Wilkerson will be shown at the Oak Grove Assembly of God church, located on Madison Avenue in Oak Grove next Tuesday, July 27 at 7:15 p.m. I Legend has it that the lign . aloe plant is the only one descended from the Garden of Eden and that Adam took a shoot of it with him when he left. This is an amazing descrip- tion of one man's adventure into the darkest area of New York City's gangland. From a country parrish he came to the streets and slums of the Big City to preach the redemp- tive gospel of Jesus Christ to youth who had become har- , denied to every kind of crime and viciousness. At first ridiculed and then rejected, he persisted with an abiding faith that though at times faltered, never failed. The details of what he and his family, experienced are at times brutual and even revolt- ing. But, then the miracle he needed, happened. Nicky Cruz and other gang members knelt and prayed. The Teen Chal- lenge ministry was born. Today Teen Challenge has become world-wide with 60 centers in U. S. cities, 100 Coffee Houses and 12 centers in Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, etc. George Gianopulos, asso- ciate-evangelist with David Wilkerson Youth Crusades, an ordained minister who has served 13 years as evangelist, pastor, youth leader and ex- citing tenor vocal soloist will present a faith-inspiring Bible message along with the film. Pastor David Fernandez cordially invites the public to attend this special showing of "The Cross and The Switch- blade". ~ - Close-out Specials on uphol- stery fabric and naughahyde. 20 to 50 percent off.

It was a hot, sultry after- noon-and night which drained strength from the team. as they had to participate in both ends of a' double header in the finals Friday. After six hours of playing baseball in the heat and competition of the games, the boys were wrung out. The championship game was just that a champion of a game, with the Port St. Joe team falling behind at the last minute, to lose 4-2 in the last half of the last inning. - 'a ., -.21 5. Chuck Pollock slides into third base on a steal. He singled to get on base, then stole second and third to get into scoring position, -Star Photo Steve Peak, Blaine Cox, Bob Jones and Chuck Pollock all shared mound duties and held the Marianna squad scoreless until the fifth inning, when a Marianna runner was walked in. They scored again in the sixth inning on two walks and a single off the tiring Port St. Joe hurlers, and that was it until the fatal seventh. Marvin Sewell led off at the bat in the game for Port St. Joe and hit a clean single to center. Sewell went to second on Blaine Cox's single and advanced to third on Tim Beard's foul out. Charles Ga- thers stroked a single through the center to bring Sewell home with Port St. Joe's first run. Marianna was threatening in the bottom of the second, with a man on first and third and one out. Tim Beard snared a blistering line drive to retire the batter and doubl- ed the runner who had left third on his way home and couldn't get back in time. Port St. Joe scored again in the fifth, when Chuck Pollock singled, stole second and third and came home on a suicide' bunt on a disputed play when batter, Bob Jones, foul tipped the ball. The catcher caught the ball, so Pollock's steal of home stood as a score. By this time the Port St. Joe managers were shuffling pit- chers in an attempt to keep a man on the mound who wasn't too pooped to throw the ball., Blaine Cox had been on the hill for three innings and was losing his effectiveness. He walked two Marianna batters and Bob Jones was called on to pitch. He had been hit pn the elbow by a batted ball earlier in the game and walked the bases full then walked in the first Marianna run. Chuck Pollock then came, to the mound and forced, the first batter to ground out, retiring the side. In the sixth inning, "Blaine Cox started things off. with a booming triple to the center field fence. He scored on Tim Beard's long sacrifice fly to give the Port St. Joe team a 3-1 margin going in the final inning. Pollock, who had caught for nearly two full games before coming to the pitcher's mound, gave uptwo walks and Archery, Muzzle Hunts Scheduled for St. Vincent Two archery hunts and one muzzle gun hunt for white- tailed deer, wild pigs, rac- coon, and opossum are sche- duled on St. Vincent Island during the 1976 fall hunting season.

Then came the fatal seventh when things came unhinged. A single and a walk put two Marianna men on base. One of the runners had ad- vanced to third with two outs. The batter hit a short blooper to short and the play went to home plate. The runner was trapped in a run-down, but the ball was thrown away trying 'to throw it over the runner's head and the runner scored, tying the game. In the mean- time, the runner on first was working his away around the bases and an attempt to pick him off resulted in another wild throw to allow him to score the winning run.
