Work Started

On Hospital

Budget for '77
The City Commission, act-
ing as the Board of Directors
of the Municipal Hospital be-
gan looking at a proposed
budget for the institution in a
special meeting Tuesday eve-
ning. Board Chairman Jerry
Sullivan had called for the
special meeting to be held
! prior to the regular City
Commission meeting Tues-
day.
A preliminary presentation
showed the budget of the
institution will be around
$810,000 next year, and will
probably entail some increase
in prices of some services.
Hospital Administrator Da-
vid Dunham said the budget
was drawn on the expectation
of a greater patient load in the
coming "year than it has
experienced in the past, when
patient loads for some months
dropped to as little as a 10 a
day average.
The budget for the hospital
last year was $600,000, but
operations were so far below
par that the institution will
lose a projected $120,000 for
the current budget year.
Since the two additional
doctors have arrived, census
at the hospital has jumped to
around 25 and more a day and
offers some solution to the
financial problems suffered
for the past year.


ty Commission got their heads
together last Thursday after-
noon to iron out final agree-
mnents on the size and cost
of the new library building
to be built here in Port St. Joe.
One of the main priorities of
the meeting was to set spend-
ing limits for the building
within the available money for
the project. The county has
revenue sharing funds, a state
grant and a gift from. a local
donor in the amount of $300,000
for the building, but they don't
plan to spend it all.
Another concern of the
group was to construct facili-
ties which would be within the
capabilities of the county to
operate.
The Regional Library sys-
tem people, who operate the
local, library, had hopes of
getting a building of around
10,000 feet in size. The County
Commission and the local
committee thought this would
be too expensive to maintain
and so cut the area to around
7,200 square feet.
Another concern was the
operating costs. Ad hoc com-
mittee chairman Bill Sim-
mons presented estimated
ccdt figures to the Board for
operations which were just
slightly above what the county
contributes now for building
operation. The county is bud-
geting $20,000 this year for
library services throughout
the county. The Regional sys-
tem asked for $37,720. Sim-
Ohons estimated the cost of the
local facility would be around
$16,000 per year.
The two bodies at the meet-
ing came to an agreement to
instruct the architect prepar-
ing the plans, Charles Arthur
Gaskin of, Wewahitchka, to
keep the design where the
building would not cost over
$200,000. An additional $50,000
would be allocated for furnish-
ings and fixtures and archi-
tects fees.


Twenty-four people filtered
in and out of the Counity
Commission's tax hearing

ing and discussed almost ev-
erything in the county budget
except the 2.3 mills the county
was anticipating as a tax

Mill Going Down

The St. Joe Paper Com-
pany will shut down opera-
tions at its paper mill here in
Port St. Joe Saturday for an
indefinite period of time, ac-
cording to Tom S. Coldewey,
vice-president in charge of
operations.
The mill is shutting down
due to lack of orders and will
resume operations as soon as
possible, Coldewey said.


ed.
Finance officer Jerry Gates
opened the meeting by ex-
plaining the county's financial
predicament. The Board had
been using the federal revenue
sharing funds partially to keep
from raising taxes by using
the money to cut the budget
each year. This isn't illegal,
but it isn't recommended as
accepted practice in the fed-
eral revenue sharing guide-
lines, which suggest the funds
be used strictly as one-time
expenditures and capital im-
provements.
The County has been using
the money to buy equipment
and supplies needed by var-
ious departments of county
government, which would nor-
mally be purchased with tax
dollars.
Gates explained the drastic
2.3 mill planned increase was
because there was no assur-
ance the federal revenue
funds would be available this
year. As a matter of fact the
county won't know until about
November ot December if it
will again receive the funds.
After all the discussion was
over, Commission Silas Play-
er noted that the county had
$100,695 in uncommitted reve-
nue .sharing money and reduc-
ed the planned increase by one
mill. This suggestion met with
the approval of the Board.
Those present were con-
cerned with spending by the
Board, primarily with the
Commissioner's salaries and
whether or not paid employees
were. doing their job or were
even needed on the work


force. The visitors expressed a
desire for the County Board to
survey all departments in the
county for excessive employ-
ment and cut back on person-
nel where possible. The Com-
missioners said they would
make the survey.
Of primary interest was

ETAOIN SHRDLU

By WESLEY R. RAMSEY


An hour-long meeting between
the County Commission and their ad
hoc Library Planning Committee
last week seems to have come up
with a library construction plan
which will serve the needs of the
people in this area as well as provide
facilities which the county can
comfortably (financially) operate.
The first thought toward construc-
tion of the building was to furnish at
least 10,000 square feet of floor space
for the facility. Second thoughts
produced the bright idea that this
would entail a sizeable cost for
utilities, cleaning and staffing.
Since utilities, insurance and
labor costs and its necessary fringe
Benefits is what Ais -tearing the
%budgets of all governing bodies
'apart this year, it seemed the more
prudent thing to do to make the
building slightly smaller, thus re-
ducing the original construction
costs as well as the operations cost.
It's a rare thing these days that
such contemplation. is given to
construction of a new public build-
ing. We usually spend every penny


we can gather together on the
building, borrow money to furnish it
and make plans to pay the architect
"in next year's budget". This is one
of the ways the public gets soaked
with astronomical tax bills to oper-
ate each and every year.
For instance, someone wants a
road to a given point. The road is
built after squeezing the initial
construction cost into a budget.
Then, funds must be found each and
every year to maintain the road.
In the case of the library, the
committee and the Commission
agreed to spend a limit of $200,000 on
the building. This would leave an
ample amount in the library fund,
set aside for this purpose, to furnish
the building, pay the architect and
have a few bucks left to help out
some other project.
With the building, the Commis-
sion feels the operation costs will be
very little if any more than is now
being paid for rental property for the
library to operate out of.
It's always prudent to think of
the future. It' refreshing that we are
finally beginning to.


Does HEWRun Nation?


Does HEW run this nation?
Since the appointed government
organization was created several
years ago, it has been making laws
right and left, requiring this and that
segment of our society to change
their normal way of doing things to
the chagrin of everyone.
The latest "kick" of HEW is to
destroy the identification by sex of
activities in our schools. They would
allow no boys basketball, no girls
basketball, softball, baseball, physi-
cal education classes. etc. The only
places exempt from the unisex rule
would be those rough physical
contact sports such as. football,
hockey, wrestling, boxing, etc.
Even more recently, HEW has
gone so far as to rule all girls or boys
choruses or choirs as illegal.
Congress has passed a law
stating sex discrimination, like ra-
cial discrimination, is illegal. Only
silly bureaucrats such as apparently


populate HEW could construe the
laws to be so widely applicable as to
include a boys or girls choir.
Congress is within its rights in
attending to its duties by making
sure everyone has equal opportuni-
ties. Congress now owes it to the
nation to make sure further restric-
tions aren't placed on our activities
by the whims of HEW. One of the
surest ways to rid us of this pest is by
eradication.
HEW isn't running the country,
but it is trying mightily to get into
that position. Who knows, if left
alone to their own devices, HEW
might one day outlaw Congress as
dangerous to the well-being of
Americans. When that comes, Con-
gress will wish it had kept a tighter
reign on the doings of HEW, since a
Congress without the ability to
govern had just as well spend all
their time campaigning, junketing
or attending cocktail parties.


Rish Explains Probate


Regulations to Rotary


Representative William J.
Rish spoke to the Rotary Club
last Thursday at their regular
meeting, giving them some
information concerning the
changes in the probate laws of
Florida.
One of the big changes
allows heirs of small estates to
settle the estates in a hurry,
without a lawyer. The heirs of
:estates which amount to $7,500
;or less, may get together, pay
the creditors, settle the re-
mainder of the estate between
-themselves, and the matter is
closed.
Estates of larger amounts
need the services of an attor-


ney for settlement. Even es-
tates of $7,500 and under find it
advisable to secure the ser-
vices of an attorney if a will
has been written.
For practical matters, there
are no estate taxes involved
unless the estate is $120,000 or
more. Rish said, "The first
$60,000 of an estate is exempt
from taxes. Since the surviv-
ing spouse is entitled to half of
the estate under the law. All
estates over $120,000 in value
are subject to taxes unless
some arrangements have
been made prior to death to
avoid or reduce the taxes.
There are many benefits


under the law which people
should be aware of. For
instance, in the case of a
surviving wife, a couple's
home automatically passes to
the wife if no will is left. The
surviving wife is also eligible
for 30 percent of her husband's
estate, even if a will cuts her
out entirely.
Rish said most of the chan-
ges have been made to allow
survivors to settle an estate in
a minimum amount of time.
Guests of the club were Don
Lewis of Panama City and
Raymond Wood of Winter
Park.


Dear Mr. Ramsey:
We write to you regarding
two items appearing on the
front page of The Star, issue of
August 12, 1976. Your head-
lines read, "County decides to
spend $32,000.00 on repairs to
old Wewahitchka courthouse.
These headlines are correct;
however, your readers should
have been informed that the
$32,000.00 for this expenditure
was a gift from the Federal
Disaster Funds. We also re-
ceived $21,000.00 for the re-
pairs to the new courthouse
and $19,500.00 for repairs of
roads and bridges. All of these
funds were earmarked for
these projects and cannot be
used for any other purpose. No
tax funds were used.
We also call your attention
to the sub-headline "Wants
Machines". This is where tlhe
Supervisor of Elections re-
minded the Board that the law
provides for standby voting
machines to be held in reserve
during an election, just in case
a voting machine being used
in one of the precincts fails to
operate. The particular part
we refer to is; "County Fi-
nance Officer Jerry Gates
said her budget had been in
the red for the past few
months. She is overspent now
by 25 percent." The Finance
Officer was reading from a
computer printout projection
for the full year, which ends
September 30, 1976. This was
the information the Commis-
sion had called for. The Com-
mission was concerned with
what the expenditures would
be on September 30, 1976, in
order to determine if funds
would be available to pur-
chase two voting machines.
On the day your article was
written, this budget contain-
ing twelve accounts was only
overspent in one in the amount
of $319.11 and there remains
$9,767.03 in the other funds.
Very truly yours,
ELDRIDGE MONEY,
Chairman
(Ed note Eldridge, we're
only too happy to correct
misunderstandings. The fi-
nance report was given as if it
were a condition which existed
as of the moment, not as a pro-
jected condition in the future
and we reported it as such.
We're glad to set the matter
straight.
Now let us set one of your
statements straight: at 'the
end of your first paragraph
you write, "no tax funds were
used". I wonder just where
that "gift from the Federal
Disaster Funds" came from if
it wasn't from the tax payer?
We knew the money was
from this source, since it was
a matter of a news story some
six weeks ago. However, the
source of the money wasn't
mentioned at the meeting to
which you refer, and, frankly,
we didn't think about it.
Again, we're glad to set the
record straight.)


By the time you read this, the Republicans

Temporary



Permit Is



Issued


The City of Port St. Joe
received its first temporary
permit from the Department
of Environmental Regulation
this week for the Wastewater
Treatment Plant. The City has
sought the permit ever since
the facility went into operation
two years ago, but problems
with the operation and ma-
chinery at the plant has
delayed the permit.
In issuing the temporary
order, the City is notified by P.
J. Doherty, district engineer,
that the temporary permit will
expire on June 1, 1977, at
which time the City must
comply with and apply for a
permanent application. In his
letter, granting the permit,
Doherty also warned the City
that the department would
review the permit before the
scheduled date of expiration
and will seek court action for
violation of the conditions and
requirements of the permit.
Along with the permit, the
DER also has contacted St.
Joe Paper Company and Syl-
vachem and told them to
comply with their designed
input and volume before ex-
piration of the temporary
permit. The only problem the
facility is faced with now is
higher volumes and material
coming into the plant from
these sources than was allow-
ed for in the design of the
plant.
Other provisos in the permit
charge the City with the
responsibility of increased
stabilization of the dike
around the aeration lagoon
and submitting engineering
reports by December 1, 1976,
detailing how the City intends
to remove all foam and foam-
ing potential of the effluent on
the Gulf County Canal and St.
Joseph Bay.

Age Limits

Of First

Any child who will attain the
age of six years subsequent to
January 1 and during the
school fiscal year of any
school having annual promo-
tions shall be admitted at the
beginning of that school year

month of the school year or at
any time during the first
month of the school year to the

sters must be vaccinated
against the six preventable
diseases before they will be
allowed to enter school.

are already use to the smell, even if they still
might be a little bit squeamish to the touch.

The Democrats may have the standard-
bearer with more charisma than any one person
should have; he may have the biggest grin this
side of a Wausau possum; he may have more
savvy at softball than Wayne Parrish and he
may be a better fisherman than Harry Ford. The
Republicans have the platform which should set
the people in this area of the country on fire.
While the Democrats were pushing through
a platform which would provide everything for
everybody with no mention of who would pay for
the program, the Republicans were evidently
listening to the people and finding out what they
wanted in the way of government intervention in
their everyday lives. As a result, the Republi-
cans received the message that Americans were
not in favor of free and easy abortion and they
were not in favor of busing school children.
While everybody one meets isn't on his, her
or its way to receive an abortion, nor is he
bedeviled by the spectre of busing; the fact is he
has an intense "gut" feeling about both issues. I
think they'll mean more in deciding which voting
machine lever is pulled than the issue of offering
a minimum wage platform for recipients of
welfare.
The Republican platform will almost surely
follow the antiabortion line and will declare
busing of school children to be "unnecessary,
counterproductive and wrong".
That'll get a lot of votes.

One of the biggest beefs in Kansas City
seems to be whether or not the city will provide
adequate portable toilets to care for the sanitary
needs of the protesters and demonstrators
planning to come to Kansas City to heckle the
convention. So far, the City has produced no
moveable "johns" and seem inclined not to do
so. Those mid-westerners seem to have the
mistaken idea that a person should not go (or
come) where he is not wanted. So, if the
protesters come, they will come at their own
expense, so to speak, and take their chances with
a warm shower, and a place for periodic
cogitation.
One thing the city of Kansas City will
probably find out, just as Washington, D.C., did:
If you don't provide an occasional comfort
station for those who would discomfort others,
they will take their business to some unlikely
spots, such as city parks, alleys, streets, city hall
steps, and flower beds, of which Kansas City has
many.
It's been proven in the past that the ones who
demonstrate for the "rights" of the kooks have
no respect for the rights of others.

With Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan
almost neck and neck in the delegate race, New
York's conservative senator James Buckley
allowed himself to be persuaded this past week
to be a compromise candidate at the convention,
just in case things got stalemated to the point
where a choice could not be made.
Buckley is a conservative Hubert Humph-
rey: all during the primaries he wasn't available
at any cost. But now, suddenly, he is available.
No matter how conservative a person's
philosophy seems to be, when the offer comes to
grab the brass ring, most of them will fall off the
horse and break their neck trying to grab it as
the merry-go-round whizzes past.

No doubt the TV will be filled with the
convention all this week just as it was during the
Democratic debacle. It's a good thing the TV had
the Olympics sandwiched in between, or, what
with the summer re-runs, the putrid pilots and
the conventions, the electronic media may lose
most of its viewers, in spite of Mary Hartman,
Mary Hartman and Captain Kangaroo.

Lynn Nobles Exchange Vows


The Long Avenue Baptist

wedding Saturday, August 14,
unliing Miss Julia Louise Hol-
lar i and Rodney Lynn Nobles
in marriage. Rev. J. C. Odum,
pastor of the church, offi-
ciated at the six o'clock cere-
mony.
The bride is the daughter of
Mr: and Mrs. George E. Hol-
land, Sr. of Mexico Beach. The
bridegroom is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Robert L. Nobles Sr.
of Port St. Joe.
Mrs. M. L. Britt was or-
ganist and John Jenkins of
Forest City, North Carolina,
longtime friend of the bride
and her family, was soloist.
Selections included "The Wed-
dinig Song," "Oh, Perfect
L.ve," and "Seal Us, Oh Holy
Spirit" as the prayer. The
bride chose the same wedding
pn.ayer that was sung at her
patents' wedding.
Escorted to the altar and
given in marriage by her
father, the bride wore a for-
Smial length gown of white silk
o ganza over peau-de-soie,
with an empire bodice re-em-
broidered with Alencon lace.
The bodice featured a sweet-
heart neckline and long bishop
sleeves with matching lace
appliques. She wore a cathe-
dral length veil of silk illusion
bordered with lace appliques


Mrs. Rodney Lynn Nobles

and attached to a matching
lace and pearl Juliet cap. She
carried a cascading bouquet
of white miniature rosebuds,
carnations, baby's breath, silk
stems of lily of the valley and
trailing ivy. Her only jewelry
was a gold bracelet that be-
longed to her paternal grand-
mother, the late Julia Hester
Holland.
Matron of honor was Mrs.
Eddie Holland, Charlottes-
ville, Va., sister-in-law of the
bride. Maid of honor was Miss
Linda Lewis, Port St. Joe.
Their formal length gowns of
blue and beige printed double
knit gauze were fashioned
with V-necks, and short
sleeves trimmed with beige
lace. The skirt finished with a
deep ruffle at the hemline.
Wide-brimmed beige hats
complemented their gowns.
They carried white baskets
with daisies, white pom poms
and beige fiji mums.
Bridesmaids were Mrs.
Chris Earley and Mrs. Phil
Earley, cousins of the bride,
Mrs. Robert L. Nobles, Jr.,
Ocala, sister-in-law of the
groorii, Miss Susan Quarles
.and Miss Judy Hendrix, Port
St. Joe, and Mrs. Tom Duke,
Panama City. They were
gowned identically to the
honor attendants, with the ex-
ception of the hats, which


were a matching blue.
Robert L. Nobles, Jr.,
Ocala, brother of the groom,
was best man. Groomsmen
were Barry Nobles, brother of
the groom, Eddie Holland,
Charlottesville, Va., brother
of the bride, Mark Holland,
brother of the bride, Phil
Earley and Chris Earley, cou-
sins of the bride, Harry Lee
Smith, Port St. Joe and Don
Allsbrooks, Memvhis, Tenn.
The mother of the bride
chose for her daughter's wed-
ding a light blue polyester
gown with a high neck and
with a cape-effect. She wore a
white rosebud corsage. The
mother of the bridegroom
wore a long-sleeved floor
length gown of ivory satin. She
also wore a white rosebud
corsage.
The bride is a graduate of
Port St. Joe High School. She
graduated from Gulf Coast
Community College in 1974,
with an A.A. degree and will
graduate from Auburn Uni-
versity on August 24 with a
B.A. degree in Elementary

ity and served as Auburn
Union hostess.
The bridegroom is a grad-
uate of Port St. Joe High
School. He is presently at-
tending Austin Peay State


University, Clarksville, Tenn.,
where he will graduate in
March.
For their wedding trip to
Jekyll Island, Ga., the bride
chose a tan safari pantsuit-
with a green and beige scarf at
the neck. For the going away
corsage, Mrs. Holland pinned
her rose corsage on her daugh-,
ter. The couple will reside in
Clarksville, Tenn.
A reception following the
ceremony was held in the
Long Avenue Baptist Church
social hall, hosted by the
parents of the bride. Greeting
the guests were Mrs. Virginia
Arnold and Billy Rich.
The bridal table was cover-
ed with an imported lace
tablecloth and held the three-
tiered wedding cake topped,
with a miniature bride and

kets were placed at either end
of the table.

were Mrs. Barnie Earley,
Mexico Beach and Mrs. Gen-
eva Wright of Phenix City,
Ala., aunts of the bride, and
Mrs. Jean Jones, Port St. Joe,
aunt of the groom.

tifully decorated by Mrs. Vir-
ginia Arnold. The theme of the
table was "Marriage is a
beautiful gift of God". The
cake was placed on an antique
crystal pedestal cake plate
and decorated as a beautiful
gift. Pictures of the bride and
groom were displayed in gold
oval frames under the cake
and enhanced by a small
heart-shaped cricket box filled
with gifts and flowers. Serving
the groom's cake were Mrs.
Mike Burkett, cousin of the
groom, and- Mrs. Otheda

the 1776 to 1976 theme.
In the course of its travels,
the "Gulfdeer" has been hail-
ed, whistled at, cheered and
saluted by other tankers, ships
of all kinds, tugs, small craft,
row boats and shoreline ob-
servers.
Early one recent Sunday
morning at Port Jefferson,
Long Island, Captain John
Sealy, alternate master of
the "Gulfdeer", who was on
vacation at the time of the
Bicentennial decoration of the
ship, said that the painting
venture reflected the kind of
spirit that makes Gulf
Mariners special. The captain
himself is in many ways typi-
cal of Gulf Mariners who have
sailed through times of drastic
change in the industry for
more than a quarter of a
century.
Born and raised in Port St.
Joe, a stone's throw from the
Gulf of Mexico, he was a
16-,year old line handler who
had just obtained his ordinary
seaman's papers when he was
called aboard the old "Gulf


Funeral Services Monday


for Mrs. Iris Grace Gray


Breeze" to fill a vacant berth
on April 25, 1946. From then
on, as with so many Gulf
Mariners before him, he
studied and workednd d final-
ly obtained his license as a
third mate, eventually becom-
ing a captain.
Two years ago, Captain
Sealy returned to Port St. Joe
with his wife Norma to live.'
They had lived in Port Arthur
for 27 years but decided to
return "home" after their
sons went on their own. One
son is an anesthetist and the
other is a graduate nurse spe-
cializing in cardiology. While
in Port Arthur, the Sealys
were active as volunteers in
the U. S. Coast Guard Auxi-
liary; he responding with his
own boat to emergency calls
from other small craft in dis-
tress, while his wife served as
an official of the local chapter.
Captain Sealy also lectured
on small boat handling.

The captain is also a keen
fisherman and an all-around
hunter of large and small
game, using the same kind of
old muzzle loading rifle the
American colonists fought
with 200 years ago.


Mrs. Iris Grace Gray, 53, of
Bainbridge, Ga., died Satur-
day, 'August 14. Funeral ser-
vices were held Monday, Aug.
16, at the Church of God of
Bainbridge, with Rev. Perry

School Opening Requires


Safe Driving Habits


"The return of another
school year means that extra
-alertness and caution will be
required from all motorists in
order to make it a safe and
productive one," explained
John D. Rodolf, Director -
Traffic & Safety Affairs, kick-
ing off the annual School's
Open Drive Carefully pro-
gram of the Peninsula Motor
Club.


"Although kids will now be
using traffic thoroughfares in
large numbers during the
morning and afternoon, it's
amazing how 'invisible' they
can become. A parked car can
completely block a child from
your view -- until he or she
decides to make a dash across
the street. As a result, it is
very important for drivers to
be alert for youngsters shar-


ing streets and roadways as
they go to and" from school.
Motorists who have ignored
school crossing and advance
warning signs all summer
must now remember to pay
special attention to these nece-
ssary traffic signals."

The AAA spokesman also
stressed the advantages; of
traffic safety instruction in the
home. "Parents can do much
to increase their children's
understanding of the traffic
scene. When kids are aware of
and follow sound pedestrian
behavior, the chances of an
accident are lessened."

Mr. Rodolf appealed to the
citizens of Florida to give a
full-fledged effort to the
School's Open Drive Careful-
ly program. "With everyone's
support, I can guarantee suc-
cess," he concluded. ',


Any new student in the com-
munity that will be entering
Port St. Joe High Jr.-Sr. High
School this school year should
come out during Pre-schooling
August 17-27 and register.
Students may come any day
during this period except
August 23 and 24.


Orientation for new students
will be Thursday, August 26,
from 9:30 to 12:30. Bus service
will be available, with the bus
schedule to be announced next
week. All seventh graders and
any other students new to Port
St. Joe Jr.-Sr. High School are
asked to participate.


Charged Langston At Indiana
llrr T a -


With


Burning

The law enforcement policy
of the Division of Forestry,
strengthened by the recent
legislative revision of Flor-
ida's forest fire laws, resulted
in the arrest and conviciton of
Jerry Lamar Sheppare, 23,
who resides at 282 North State
Road 22-A, Panama City,
Florida.
Sheppare plead guilty in
Circuit Court to "Careless
Woodsburning" and was sen-
tenced to two years active
probation and fined $150. The
fire occurred on the Old Tram
Road between Hogpen Curve
and County Road 4. Size of the
fire was two-tenths of one
acre.
Florida's forest fire laws
are contained in Florida Sta-
tute 590 and provide stiff
penalties for arson, carelessly
burning woodlands of another
and burning without proper
authorization. The legislature


David Langston of Port St.
Joe has accepted a contract to
serve as assistant basketball
coach for Indiana State Uni-
versity. The local basketball
star had worked last season as

in its last session amended
the statute to include a provi-
sion making it "unlawful for
any person, either wilfully or
carelessly, to burn or cause to
be burned, or to set fire to or
cause fire to be set to, any
forest, grass, woods, wild
lands, or marshes, or vegeta-
tive land clearing debris
owned or controlled by such
person without first obtaining
authorization from the Divi-
sion of Forestry."

Failure to obtain authoriza-
tion can be punished by a
maximum sentence of $500
fine or sixty (60) days in jail.
Landowners may obtain a
Burning Authorization Permit
(free of charge) from any
Division of Forestry Field
Office or their local forest fire
control unit, either in person
or by phone.


an assistant basketball coach
with the University of South
Alabama at Mobile and has
resigned just this week to
accept his new potision.
Langston said he would be
glad to get back into the
Missouri Conference where he
played for two years with
Drake University. "I know the
coaches and the teams in the
conference", Langston said,


"and I feel I will be getting
into a better situation than I
had at South Alabama.
"I hate to leave USA",
Langston said. "I have enjoy-
ed my stay in Mobile and the
people there were good to
me. However, I can't pass up
this opportunity for advance-
ment."
Langston reports to Indiana
State next Monday, August 23.

Hunters Need Permits


Thousands of Florida hunt-
ers run a real risk of being left
standing at the gate of their
favorite wildlife management
area on the opening day of the
hunting season, according to
an announcement issued by
the Game and Fresh Water
Fish Commission.
iCommission Director O.E.
Frye, said, "Those who are
left on the outside will only
have themselves to blame.
Hunters will not be admitted
on wildlife management areas
without the proper quota per-
mit that limits the number of
hunters allowed on an area for
the first nine days of the
*season."
: According to Frye, quota
permit applications have been
*aailable at the offices of
county trx collectors since
June 2; however, the Commis-
sion has received only 22,000
permit applications after
more than a month and he
estimated 40,000 sportsmen
have delayed submitting their
applications for one reason or
another.
The Commission spokesman
said the first regular quota
hunt permit printout was com-
pleted on August 6 with 15,230
applications. Following the
issuance of these permits, four
htunts are now filled with 10 or
more that are nearing the
maximum quota.
, The deadline for submitting
applications for quota hunt
.permits for the regular wild-
Jife_ management areas is
September 23. The deadline
for permits for the special
jiunits to be held on the Joe
Buad, Citrus, Big Cypress,
Rofenberger and Holey Land
areas is September 30. Each
-application must contain the
individual's wildlife manage-
ment area permit stamp num-
ber" or the senior citizen
certificate number.
Frye commented that each
passing day diminishes a
sportsman's chance of being
able to spend the first nine


days, November 13 through
November 21, on a favorite
hunting area. Last year,
sportsmen who procrastinated
in obtaining their quota per-
mits were required to spend
many hours in long waiting
lines at the Commission reg-
ional offices to obtain their
permit and many were disap-
pointed to find the quota filled
on the popular areas.
"We hope to eliminate the
disappointment, the long wait
and the mass confusion of
issuing permits from the reg-
ional offices and can accoplish
this if the hunters will take the
time to submit their applica-
tions now," Frye concluded.

Co-Signer Beware
By GERALD A. LEWIS
Comptroller of Florida


Your brother-in-law asked
you to co-sign a loan, you had
misgivings, but you were too
embarrassed to say no.
Actually, you have every
right and reason to think
Swice before co-signing. If
u put your name on a loan
agreement as co-signer, you
'"are just as responsible for
that loan as the borrower.
Should the borrower de-
5ault, you are the one who
wit make the payments.
A co-signer is usually re-
quired when the borrower's
income is borderline, if he
Just started a new job, has a
record of job hopping, has
just moved into the state, or
has a bad credit rating. In
other, words, when a co-


signer is required, there is
usually reason to doubt the
dependability of the borrow-
. er.
You should know further
that the policy of most lend-
ers in case of a loan delin-
quency, is to go directly to
the co-signer rather than
waste time tracking down
the borrower through costly
court proceedings.
Because of the risk in-
volved in co-signing, it would
seem that most co-signers
would be aware of the re-
sponsibilities involved. Most
are not. Here are some sug-
gestions to follow which may
help minimize that risk.

month for growing onions,
cauliflower, broccoli, brussel
sprouts and cabbage. A word
of caution. The weather is still
extremely hot so when the
seeds are first planted in the
flat protect them with some
shade. After germination of
the seed, the young plants
may be moved into better
light. This will acclimate them
for future planting in the
garden. As the seedlings begin
to grow, a light application of
soluble fertilizer will be need-
ed. This can be applied weekly
for best results.

In August worms and chew-
ing insects will appear as if by
magic to devour your young
plants. Initiate a good spray
program to protect the seed-
lings. This should be done
weekly. Once the plants have
attained 2" or 3" in height,
they can be shifted into Jiffy 7

pots. This makes the seedlings
much easier to set. The plants
will be more vigorous and-
sturdy.
This month is about the last
time to prune back poinset-
tias. A good application of
fertilizer should be applied
after pruning, Watch for the
poinsettia horn worm. For this
worm can devour all of the
tender young leaves on a
poinsettia very quickly.
Application of Zineb, Ma-
neb, 4, or Dithane M-45 will
help control scab on poinset-
tias. Scab appears in the form
of little blisters on the leaves
and on the stems.
Do not prune azaleas at this
time of year. The buds are
already set for next year's
flowers. The only cuttings you
should take from an azalea
are those to start new plants.


These should be set in a
mixture of 3/4 peat and 1/4
perlite for best results says
Florida Nurserymen and
Growers Association (FNGA).
Camellia cuttings can be tak-
en at the same time. Remem-
ber, these plants grow better
when kept in a shaded area.
The medium should always be
kept moist. Expect the cut-
tings to root in five to seven
weeks. Transplant when the
roots are well developed and
they will grow during the
winter months.
Sooty mold may be a pro-
blem on gardens. This can be
removed by spraying with an
application of oil. Check with
your local nurseryman, says
Florida Nurserymen and
Growers Association (FNGA)
for the right type of spray to
use at this time of the year.
Before applying any spray


material to a plant, read the
directions carefully.

The weather is still hot says
Florida Nurserymen and
Growers Association (FNGA).
Plants are still growing luxur-
iantly, but the days will begin
to shorten this month. In fact,
by the end of August there will
be one hour less of daylight.
How does this affect growing
plants?
Grass will begin to slow in
growth. In a few weeks poin-
settias will set their buds.
Some plants will begin to show
a few leaves that are discolor-
ing. Most plant growers will
begin to think about fall
gardening.
Gardeners who live in cen-
tral and south Florida should
add compost to the vegetable
garden site. After the compost
has been worked into the soil,
it should be checked for
phosphorous.

PAGE FOURTEEN THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY, AUGUST 19, 1976


The essence of Apalachico-
la, its past and mien today, is
captured in the newly reno-
vated John Gorrie State Mu-
seum, which opened officially
to the public Monday, Aug. 1.
Dedicated in 1957 in honor of
Dr. Gorrie, the father of
modern air conditioning and
refrigeration, the museum de-
picts the character of the
northwest Florida seaport
town.
"Apalachicola, itself, is a
fabulous little place. It contri-
buted greatly to Florida's
history. So we wanted to
include the history of the
entire area, and bring in Dr.
Gorrie's contribution to that
history." explained Mrs. Eliz-
abeth Ehrbar, exhibits super-
vison for the Department of
Natural Resources' Division
of Recreation, and Parks.
Since the river system
played the most important
role in the town's develop-
ment, a lighted panel showing
the stream and its tributaries
is the first exhibit visitors see.
.The other exhibits, encased in
cypress, since that wood help-
ed make the town a lumber
center after the Civil War,
round out Apalachicola's.his-
tory.
The area first attracted
settlers following defeat of the


Indians, and it was made a
customs' district in 1821. The
importance of cotton in the
town's development is depict-
ed in a scene showing a field of
the plant. Mrs. Ehrbar and
her staff picked the cotton
from a field in Georgia.
"This is a small museum, so
we stuck to essential themes,"
she pointed out. "We included
the cotton era, which made
Apalachicola an important
seaport, then the coming of
the railroads, which disrupted
the cotton-riverboat trade.
From there we tell the story of
early Apalachicola, bring in
Dr. Gorrie's role, and then
what happened after the Civil
War, when the lumber opera-
tions came. In our final exhibit
we tell the story of Apalachi-
cola today, with its many fine,
historic homes, its seafood
industry and how we are
trying to save the bay to
preserve this natural re-
source."
The uncluttered presenta-
tion includes a new ice ma-
chine, built from specifica-
tions of the patent given to Dr.
Gorrie in 1851. On hand to give
visitors a detailed account of
the doctor and his invention is
Museum Guide 'Charles A.
Browne, an Apalachicola na-
tive intimately knowledgeable


about the town and its history.
An unusual feature of the
Gorrie Museum will be a "See
and Touch" exhibit to be
added later. "We plan to have
natural objects found in Apa-
lachicola on free-form plat-
forms in two corners of the
museum," described Mrs.
Ehrbar. "Visitors can pick
them up and look at them.
We'll have nets and shells of
the areas, such as the Queen
Hamlet, whelks and, of
course, oyster shells."
She also plans to have
10-foot oyster tongs made by a
local resident, but sized down
from the usual long 12 to
20-foot tongs used by area
oystermen. Cotton bolls and a
smaller version of a cotton
bale will be included.
"We will continue to contri-
bute to the See and Touch

Submitting medical bills
that are not itemized can
delay payment of claims und-
er the medical insurance part
of Medicare, according to
David Robinson, Social Secur-
ity Representative for Gulf
County.
"If the patient uses the
'payment-to-you' method of
medical insurance payment,"
Robinson said, "the claim
cannot be paid unless an
itemized bill of services from
the doctor or other medical
provider is submitted with a
properly completed Request
for Medicare Payment form."
Medicare medical insur-
ance helps pay for doctor bills
and many other medical ex-
penses of people covered by
the program. Claims are han-
dled two ways -- by the
"payment-to-you" method or
the "assignment" method.
"The patient is required to
send in an itemized bill of


services only if the payment to
you method is used and the
doctor or supplier does not
complete Part II of the pay-
ment form," Robinson said.
"If the patient and doctor
agree to use the assignment
method, the doctor sends in
the claim and Medicare pay-
ment is made directly to the
doctor."
An itemized bill from a
doctor must show the date,
place, and description of each
medical service involved -- as
well as the charge for each
service. It must also show the
patient's Medicare claim
number exactly as it is shown
on the care--including the
letter at the end, Robinson
said.
In the payment-to-you me-
thod, the patient sends in the
claim with the itemized bill of
services. Medicare payment
is made to the patient--either
before or after the bill is
settled with the doctor.
Claims are sent to the health
insurance organization that


hands the medical insurance
claims in this area.
"Help in preparing Medi-
care claims is available at any
Social Security office," Robin-
son said.
Medicare medical insur-
ance is offered to people 65
and over who are eligible for
social security or railroad
retirement benefits, to disab-
led people under 65 who have
been entitled to social security
or similar railroad retirement
disability benefits for 24 con-
secutive months or more, and
too many people under 65 with
permanent kidney failure.
The protection is funded by
individual premiums and
Federal general revenues.
Medicare is administered
by the Social Security Admin-
istration, an agency of the
U.S. Department of Health,
Education, and Welfare. The
Panama City Social Security
office is at 1316 Harrison
Avenue. The phone number is
