There was a regular parade
of people before the County
Commission Tuesday night as
various activities financed by
the County made their pitch
for more money with which to
operate. Most of the activities
represented at the meeting
are financed with matching
funds: that is, the county puts
up a smallamount of money
which is matched by the state
and federal governments.
Curtailment of county dollars
meant greater cuts in match-
ing funds. This had the several
activities scratching for a few
more county dollars.

The biggest appeal was put
up by the Panhandle Alcohol-
ism Council which had asked
for $3,000 from the county and
had been cut to $1,000 in the

preliminary budget figure.
Theirs was the only appeal of
the evening which didn't
squeeze a few extra dollars
from the Commission.
Mrs. Frank Whitfield, Al
Hargraves and Rev. Johnnie
McCurdy spoke in favor of
PAC explaining that the activ-
ity was presently caring for
over 70 clients and was "help-
ing not only the alcoholic but
his family as well".
The County offered the ser-
vices of a CETA slot which is a
hired employee paid for by
federal funds. The PAC was
appreciative of the paid help,
but explained they received no
federal or state matching
money for the position.
The ambulance budget had
been cut by $1,800, a figure


from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.,, Sunday
afternoon.

After nearly a six month
wait, the Poonai's have arriv-
ed in the city to fulfill a need in
medical treatment which has


which had been inserted into
the budget to purchase pagers
for all trained EMT's in the
Port St. Joe area to get
immediate response on a call.
Ambulance director Dick
Lamberson made an appeal
for the item which he said was
working well in giving imme-
diate response to calls and
making their response time
equal to any in the state.
Lamberson pointed out that
ambulance service was cost-
ing people in the Port St. Joe
area $1.50 per person per year
and pointed out the service
was costing $2.73 per person
per year in the Wewahitchka
area and $9.00 per person per
year in Franklin County.
The Guidance Clinic had
asked for a $3,000 contribution


existed in the city for some
time.
The Poonai's bring a total of
32 years of medical experi-
ence with them and are fully
qualified, licensed and ap-
proved by every standard to


for the coming year. They
received $1,200 in county funds'
during the present fiscal year.
After a work session Tuesday
night, the Board granted an
additional $300.00 contribution
bringing their total to $1,500
for the coming year.
The Library system was
granted an additional $2,000
over last year's budget, putt-
ing their total contribution at
$20,000 for the coming year.
The budget still is not com-
plete and no total figures have
been arrived at as yet.
One other figure which will
probably be inserted into the
new financial plan is a pay in-
crease for all county employ-
ees. at present, the Board is
considering an increase of
$416.00 per year for all county
employees.


serve in their fields in this
community.
Dr. Vijay Poonai has served
for 16 years in the British
medical system as a surgeon
and physician and has taught
surgery in the British West
* Indies School of Medicine. Dr.
Anila Poonai also has 16 years
of medical experience in the
British medical system and is
a trained obstetrician and
gynecologist. They will both
operate out of the same office
in the hospital.
The Poonai's have just re-
cently completed a three year
residency in Cleveland, Ohio,
required by the American
Board of Surgeons for their
acceptance by that Board,to
practice in the United States.
The Poonai's will be avail-
able in their office every day
except Wednesday and Sun-
day from 9:00 a.m., to 5:00
p.m., and will be available in
the emergency room of the
hospital all the time. Coverage
of the emergency room at the
hospital has been sort of
spotty in the past year or so,
since local doctors had to
cover the facility and work
this duty into their regular
schedule. The arrival of the
Poonai's will help in that area,
considerably.
Dr. Vijay Poonai said the
two are available now in the
hospital, even though their
offices will not be open until
Monday.

Name Selected for New Library


A resolution adopted by
the County Commission
Tuesday night officially
named the new Regional
Library to be built here in
Port St. Joe the Corrine
Costin Gibson Memorial
Library.
The name was applied to
the structure in recognition
of the work Mrs. Gibson
had done in historical and


cultural activities in the
county during her life here
and in recognition of the
sizeable donation her hus-
band, Dr. Tom Gibson,
made toward the Library's
construction costs in his
wife's memory.
Bill Winters, chairman of
the ad hoc library planning
committee reported to the
Board Tuesday night that


the committee had met
with architect Charles Ar-
thur Gaskin last week and
came up with a location for
the building.
Winters reported the
committee recommended
the building be placed west
of the Courthouse entrance
drive, with the building
facing the courthouse and
the right side parallel to


Highway 71. He recom-
mended enlarging the pre-
sent parking lot on the west
side of the courthouse to.
serve the library's needs.
The building will be built
near the canal which skirts
the western border of the
courthouse property and
the area beautified.
The suggestion met with
the Board's approval.


Each Wanted Something


Clinic Will Show Off New Home


The Gulf County Guidance
Clinic will be hosting an open
house in their new building
next Thursday, August 5, from
5 to 7 in the afternoon.
According to Bill Lyles,
president of the Board of
,Directors of the Guidance
Clinic, the general public will


be invited to come by the
clinic during these hours and
inspect the new quarters,
located on Williams Avenue,
adjacent to Aliene's Beauty
Shop.
The Clinic has been in its
new quarters for several
months: the facility has only


recently been completed. The
building was purchased and
renovated with a government
matching grant, local and
state funds.
The Clinic was founded in
1967 and has operated since
that time as a community

Samuel A. Patrick, secre-
tary of the Gulf County Dem-
ocratic Executive Committee
said rallies will begin in the
county on Saturday, August 7,
and will be held each Saturday
afternoon until the first pri-
mary election in September.
Patrick said there will be
five rallies in the series,


beginning at White City on
August 7 and ending here in
Port St. Joe on September 4.
Rallies will be held this year
in White City, Wewahitchka,
Highland View, North Port St.
Joe and South Port St. Joe.
All Democratic candidates
will be invited to speak at any
or all of the rallies.


Everybody wanted some-
thing at the County Commis-
sion meeting Tuesday night, in
a session which continued
until nearly 1:00 in the mor-
ning.
Most "wants" were from
people who wanted some of
their requested funds put into
their budgets. Others wanted
roads and road work.
The budget matters are
reported in another story on

Carter's Cub Comes Calling
Chip Carter, son of Presidential hopeful, Jimmy Carter,
was in Port St. Joe last week visiting with the Lions Club at
their Wednesday noon luncheon. Carter had come to town


this page, but there were
enough "wants" to fill up this
story also.
The people of Stone Mill
Creek placed the first "want"
on the agenda. They wanted a
passable road to their com-
munity and wanted to be
placed on the County's sec-
ondary paving program for
some time in the future. W. C.
Robinson was the spokesman
for what he described as "15


or 16 families of Stone Mill
Creek".
Robinson described a road
situation of speeding county
trucks hauling dirt out of the
area, endangering the local
residents and a road which
was flooded under up to four
feet of water in heavy rains
and a bridge which was unsafe
and flooded in high water
conditions.
Robinson said the people of

his area weren't expecting the
road to be paved within the
next few years but they would
like their road made into an all
weather road as soon as
possible.
County Road Superinten-
dent Lloyd Whitfield pointed
out that while the street in the
subdivision is sufficiently
wide to pave, the access road
to the subdivision is not up to
requirements by the DOT,
who does the secondary pav-
ing. He suggested that 10 more
feet of right of way would be
necessary to comply with
paving specifications.
Commissioner Otis Davis
suggested the county make
the road passable, fill the low
spots and- come up with a
solution for the bridge prob-
lem; a suggestion which was
approved by the board.
Robert Nations, a represen-
tative of Florida Engineers
presented a plat of a seven lot
subdivision at Cape San Blas,
with the lots all facing the
highway. His road problems
were easy to solve. He had
another problem in that he
hadn't prepared a topograph-
'ical sketch of the two and a
half acre lot s prescribed by
the Subdivision laws of the
county. He asked for and
received a waiver of that
requirement and agreed to
provide average elevations at
50 foot intervals along the lot
lines instead.
PLANS NEARLY READY
Steve Nations, of Florida
Engineers reported to the
Commission Tuesday night
that his firm was just about
through with up-dating the
plans and specifications for

EDITORIALS:




Demos Pit Employment


Against Inflation


Now that the Democratic Na-
tional Convention is in the history
,books, it is a good time to take a hard
look at a major plank of that party's
platform that could be devastating if
it becomes national policy. The plan
calls for a.reduction of the adult
unemployment rate to three per cent
within four years.
On its face, that goal is laudable
enough. No one likes unemployment.
The problem is that behind the
mild-sounding Democratic plank
lies a horrendous proposal called the
Humprhey-Hawkins Bill, which has
become a keystone measure on
Capitol Hill among a wide swath of
Democrats.
Humphrey-Hawkins (named for
its sponsors, Sen. Hubert Humphrey
of Minnesota and Rep. Augustus F.
Hawkins of California), jn essence
proposes to repeal business cycle
and limit unemployment to three-per"
cent by making the government the
employer of last resort.
If this should happen, we sup-
pose it would be impossible to get
people to work, considering the
almost impossibility of doing that


now, even with the unemployment
figure as it now stands.
It is estimated that Humprhey-
Hawkins could increase the federal
budget by around $45 billion, which,
in our case, would mean $45 billion
added to the already gigantic na-
tional debt. Persons employed in the
private sector, if not satisfied with
their wages, under the bill could quit
their jobs and demand that Uncle
Sam hire them at the highest
-prevailing wage rates for their
specialties.
Although the nation's unemploy-
ment rose in June for the first time
since September, its general trend is
still clearly downward. It would be a
tragedy of major proportions -
unleashing an inflation rate seldom
if ever seen in this country to
abort the current economic progress
-with anything akin to Humphrey-,
Hawkins.
Everyone wants a lower rate of
unemployment. But no reasonable
person wants to trade unemploy-
ment especially an improving
rate of unemployment for blatant
socialism.


"The safety commission's job is
to do what it can to reduce risks at
acceptable costs. It should get over
the idea. it can turn the complex
modern world into one great padded
cell where even an idiot can do
himself no harm."
Thus did "Business Week" vent
its frustration over silly safety
proposals offered by the govern-
ment's Consumer Product Safety
Commission. In a May 3 editorial,
the magazine detailed the Commis-
sion's proposed standards for paper
matches, which would require that
the match go out within 15 seconds
and be enclosed in a childproof box.
In the first place, a "gopher" is
hard enough to use in its present
unencumbered state. Secondly, if a
thing is made child-proof, it would
take a jackhammer, a cutting torch
and a full-grown bulldozer to get it
open which is hardly practical for


a book of matches.
If book matches are manufac-
tured to burn for no more than 15
seconds, they would hardly be
strikeable, if their present perform-
ance is diluted any at all. They
would be all but useless to change a
fuse. by, light a pipe, hunt a light
switch, singe a chicken, give a hot
foot, light the barbecue grill or read
the number on a mail box.
Perhaps the leading govern-
ment villian in the promulgation of
silly safety regulations is the Occu-
pational Safety and Health Adminis-
tration (OSHA). One recent booklet
published by OSHA for farmers, for
example, warns them that horror
of horrors manure is slippery.
Taken together, such bureau-
cratic nonsense brings back this
time-honored thought by Will Rog-
ers: "I don't make jokes. I just
watch the government and report
the facts."


Rotary Hears About Drugs


Gannon Buzzett, local drug-
gist, spoke to the Rotary Club
last Thursday, telling the club
members of the new generic
drug law and what it means to
the prescription buyer.
Buzzett said the new law
requires a druggist to stock a
generic drug to match every
brand name prescription drug
in his stock. He must tell a
customer the drug is available
at a lower cost than the one
prescribed and give it to the
customer if he so desires.
"The only exception is if the
doctor writes 'medically ne-
cessary' across his prescrip-
tion when it is made out",
Buzzett said. "It is the burden
:of the pharmacist to tell the
:.customer of the less costly


drug and not the responsibility
of the customer to ask for it."
In answer to the question,
"What is a generic drug?"
Buzzett said, "It is a copy of a
brand name".
Buzzett explained the dif-
ferences in price by pointing
out that brand name pharma-
ceutical houses develop their
own drugs and amortize the
research cost in sale of the


product. The generic drug
house merely analyzes the
drug for content and copies it.
The druggist is required to
begin telling customers of the
cheaper drugs as soon as he
can build his stock of generic
drugs.
Guests of the club were Dr.
Larry Tyree and Dee Hinton
of Panama City and Buck
Miller of Tallahassee.

I think Buck Rogers or Flash Gordon would
feel right at home on the e view we now have of
Mars.
When I was a kid, these two space travelers
were the heroes of most boys and many
grown-ups. They made their way about the
heavens with the greatest of ease, scooting about
in vehicles which resembled the present space
hardware very much. Mars looked almost as the
pictures showed it on TV and in the papers this
past week.
The experiments thus far show a presence of
oxygen, nitrogen and argon in the atmosphere
which could support life. The temperature is a
little cool up to 122 degrees below zero, which
tends to discourage gambilling about outside by
persons similar to the species found here on
earth.
The space explorers need to go back to their ;

Flash Gordon comic books. About half way
through the book they will find the people are
inside the planet. It's .too cold to run around
outside, so they have burrowed tunnels in the
planet and are inside where it is warm.
We used the expertise of Flash and Buck to
get there: let's don't blow it now by trying to
figure out the rest of the puzzle without
consulting the experts.
I see where the distance to Mars is 213
million miles as the rocket flies. It may be a little
longer when man goes along. This time it was
only a machine going along for the ride and there
was no reason to make rest room and hamburger
stops. If I remember correctly, it cost $1.2 billion
to make the trip with the two probes. That
figures out to about $2.53 per mile for each
vehicle. That's as good as some of these
non-polluting cars do these days. .. ,

making a pretty good showing.
Olga Korbut seems to be over the. hill at age
21 and is being replaced by Nadia, the little
Romanian girl in the limelight of the ladies
gymnastics. It's sad to slow down, but Olga just
has to face realities: when you get older you just
can't do the split or balance on the beam as well
as you could at, say, 14, 17 or 18.
It's a pity to know someone is over the hill at
age 21.
The Americans seem to be doing very good
at swimming, boxing and basketball. We're
doing especially well in boxing, which goes to
show you we can fight with the best of them if we
set our mind to it.

Jimmy Carter's son, Chip was in town the
other day last Wednesday, in fact along

I received an invitation to visit the Lions

making his appearance and was supposed to
speak. He appeared but didn't speak.
There I was, subject to all that clawing,
roaring and pawing the earth and I didn't hear a
speech from the son of a presidential candidate.
It was almost a lost hour.
I asked Chip if he was that son of the
presidential hopeful who was considered by his
father to be somewhat of a prodigal because he
quaffed a glass of wine on special occasions. He
said he was and that his father was like all
fathers he doesn't like it because Chip has
departed from his standards, but he accepts his
responsibility to make his own decisions in such
matters.
There's something wrong with a father who
won't meddle in his son's business.

Writer Wayne Ezell of the Tallahassee
Democrat is working over the operation of the
mental hospital in Chattahoochee. I doubt very
much if what he is writing is the average method
of operation and handlingof patients. I suspect it
is more of a special occurance. If it was the
normal thing for employees at the hospital to
beat up or torture patients, I feel they would be
dismissed immediately. If it was the normal
thing for a patient to terrorize his fellow patients,
I feel there are enough caring employees at the
hospital that someone would bring the situation
to the attention of those who had the power to do
something about it.
In short, I have no doubt there are odd things
happening in the hospital. After all, if the
inmates were normal they wouldn't be there. To
say they are perpetuated or overlooked, we think
is going a bit too far.

warmth and life created by requirements., and about 10 degrees lower at
plants. Probably no other factor night.


Sometimes plants may
serve as a transitional ele-
ment. This may be between
outdoors and indoors, or be-
tween two rooms or two levels
inside the home.
The repetition of plants
from room to room helps to
unify areas. Plants, either
foliage of flowering types,
may alter the strong architec-
tural lines of a room. A space
may seem extremely harsh,
cold and very formal without
living plants.
Plants are not always used
in accessory positions. Flow-
ering plants and floral ar-
rangements can be a focal
point of a room, the position
often reserved for a fine piece
of art. The arrangement can
be simple as one flower or a
single plant specimen if it is
displayed strikingly enough.
Never be afraid to experiment
with plants and flowers, be-
cause their effects in a decor
can be pleasantly surprising.
The use of plants is marked-
ly influenced by certain key
environmental factors.
Among them are light, temp-
erature and humidity. If the


will be more cnalenging man
adjusting the light level. All
house plants require light, but
not all require the same
intensity of light. Some, like
the ferns, philodendrons, afri-
can violets and sansevierias
grow well with indirect light.
Those with highly colored
leaves such as croton and
coleus and the succulents and
some of the flowering house
plants grow best in full sun-
light.
The light intensity in many
homes is usually too low to-
meet the needs of many
plants. In such cases, supple-
mental artificial lighting can
be used. Various conventional
and special light sources have
been evaluated for their abili-
ty to produce desired growth
responses of plants. It has
been established that a mix-
ture of fluorescent and incan-
descent lamps gives better
growth results than those
produced by either alone.
During the past few years
special fluorescent lamps
have been designed specifical-
ly for growing plants and are
being produced by the major


Most house plants seem to
grow best in a moist atmos-
phere. However, the average
humidity in most homes is
well below the optimum hu-
midity of 40 to 60 per cent. The
humidity around a plant can
be increased by daily syring-
ing with a fine spray of water
and placing potted plants on a
two or three-inch bed of moist
gravel.
House plants can be a very
pleasant and enjoyable part of
the home and office if chosen
with care and properly mana-
ged.

Traffic Deaths Down


Traffic deaths continued a
steady slow decline for the
first six months of 1976 said
the Florida Highway Patrol
today.
Colonel Eldrige Beach, Pa-
trol director reports that as of

tional programs during my
upcoming term."
During Bidwell's admini-
stration, all schools-high
schools and elementary
schools-have earned an ac-
credited status by the South-
ern Association of Colleges
and Schools. Bidwell states to
retain this status, one require-
ment is that the Superin-
tendent possess at least a
Masters Degree in Education-
al Administration and Super-
vision. In light of this, Bidwe.ll
says: "I am qualified, certi-
fied, and experienced to con-
tinue as your Superintendent
of Schools."


June 30, 968 people have died
in traffic crashes as compared
to 1,007 for the same period in
1975. In 1974, the previous
year, 1,104 were killed in the
first half of the year. Injuries
for the same periods were
68,908 in 1974, 77,412 in 1975
and 83,592 in 1976.
Records indicate that rural
areas had almost double the
amount of traffic deaths as the
urban areas. The higher
speeds outside of cities and
towns usually account for the
additional deaths and injuries.
The Patrol's annual sum-
mary of trafficc crashes for
1975 showed that drinking
drivers and carc'ess driving
were the two leading causes
listed. as contributing to all
fatal crashes while speed too
fast for conditions was third.
Colonel Beach hopes that
the new 55 mile-per-hour
speed limit passed by the


legislature in the 1976 session
which takes the place of the
execu0ve order previously
used will help enforcement
officers in their traffic control
duties.

merly been served by what he
described as the Old Wire
Road. The road is now fenced
in and plowed under by Roy
Lister, Kilbourn claims, and
he has no access to his
property. He wanted to know
if the county owned the road so
they could re-open it.
The Board had no record of
ownership of the Old Wire-
Road and informed Kilbourn
the problem would have to be
solved by he and Lister.
Lister said he wanted to
work out a solution with his
neighbor.
In another road problem,
-seven Bay County citizens
have purchased part of the old
Rowell's Landing and want a
path through the swamp made
into a road to better serve
their property. The Board said
they would work the road if it
was brought up to grade and
made passable in all kinds of
weather.
At present the road is slip-
pery and almost impassable.
The Board had no desire to
accept a road they would have
to build in order to get the
opportunity of maintaining it.

The Board of County Com-
missioners of Gulf County,
met on July 13, in regular
session with the following
members present: Eldridge
Money, Chairman; Everett
Owens, Jr.; T. D. (Doc) Whit-
field; Otis Davis, Jr. and S. C.
Player. Others present were:
George Y. Core, Clerk; Jerry
Gates, Finance Officer; Wil-
liam J. Rish, Attorney; Lloyd
Whitfield, Road Superinten-
dent and C. E. Daniell, Acting
Mosquito Control Supervisor.
The meeting came to order
at 9:00 a.m. The Chairman
opened the meeting with
prayer, followed by the pledge
to the flag. The minutes of
June 22, were read, approved
and adopted.
The following applications
for employment were re-
ceived: Gary Thomas Pitts
and Hosie C. Owens (for Mos-
quito Control Supervisor),
William Edwarl, Burrows and
Charles Turner. /
The Clerk reported that
during the first rain after the
repairs to the roof, that three
leaks appeared in the County
Judge's office that had not
been there before; that the
Architect was advised and
that lie immediately sent the
roofer to correct this problem.
J. B. Converse and Com-
pany, consulting engineers,
reminded the Board of F.S.
403, the Florida Resources
Recovery and Management
Act, that will require each
county to enter into a county-
wide solid waste management
plan and offered its services in
preparing a plan for Gulf
County.
Charles A. Gaskin, Archi-
tect, (contract for reroofing
and repairs) presented appli-
cation for payment to the con-
tractor, Griffin Construction
Company in the amount of
$22,611.60 and for his own fees
in the amount of $516.00. 'Upon
motion by Comm. Owens,
seconded by Comm. Davis,
and unanimously carried, that
said applications be paid.
The Board received a letter
from the Health and Rehabi-
litative Services, notifying the
Commission that the Welfare
Department is moving out of
the old courthouse in Wewa-
hitchka due to the poor state of
repairs of the building. It was
requested of the Board that
the Food Stamp staff remain
in its present quarters due to
security requirements. The
Board was also requested to
execute an agreement to ex-
tend the term of the present
lease for a period ending July
14, 1976. Whereupon, there
was a motion by Comm.
Davis, seconded by Comm.
Whitfield to comply with this
request. Unanimously car-
ried.
Comm. Davis then remind-
ed the Board of the required
repairs to the air conditioning
system for the old courthosue
and recommended that the re-
pairs be held up until after the
roof has been repaired. The
Board agreed with this sug-
gestion.
J. B. Converse and Com-
pany, consulting engineers,
presented the beaches Area
201 facilities plan. It was
pointed out that the plan does
not include water facilities,
only sewer. For this reason,
the plan calls for a phased
Program, because Gulf Coun-
ty must have a water system
before the sewer system could
be used. After looking at the
plan, it was pointed .out that it
did not include Highland View,
not did it reflect any thought
or planning to use the already
operative solid waste facilities
located in Port St. Joe. It was
decided to table the matter for


study.
The Clerk reminded the
Board that it should appoint
its election inspection boards
for the primary elections. (No
action taken).
Upon motion by Comm.
Daivs, second by Comm.
Owens, and unanimous vote,
the Board executed an agree-
ment with Gulf County Gui-
dance Clinic to pay $1,400.00
annually for services render-
ed by said clinic.
The Board discussed the
Comprehensive Planning Act
of 1975. After being advised as
to the law and how it would
affect our county, the Board-
Voted to designate the Gulf
County Planning Agency as
the local planning agency and
to notify the state planning
commission of this action.
Comm. Owens reported that
the Board was trying to obtain
a fifth wheel trailer to store
"the civil defense generator in.
The Board discussed the re-
quest of the Panhandle Alco-
holic Council for an increase in
their budget from $1,000.00 to
$3,000.00. The Board felt the
Council should approach, the
Legislature with funding re-
quests and tighten up the re-
habilitative process as it was
, not as successful as it might
be.
The Board discussed the
matter of an application of
Monica Stone for refund of
property taxes and was ad-
vised by the Attorney that this
matter was being taken care
of.
Mosquito Control Director,
Emmette Daniell, told the
Board he would like to know
the status of the search for a
new director. The Board took
no action on this request.
The Sheriff presented his
budget and was advised that it
would be taken under consi-
deration during budget discus-
sions. The:-Attorney advised
