THIRTY-NINTH YEAR, NUMBER 52 Industry Deep Water Port Fine People Safest Beaches in Florida PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 1976 Cuts off Flow Of Sea Water Pipe Line Bursts at Basic repairs, but the rupture early last Friday, caused the firm to go into an emergency situation. Kilbourn said the line is made from a special process and isn't available just anywhere. The production superintendent said the plant was lucky in one respect. "The firm which put the pipe in 17 years ago still had 144 feet of the special pipe on hand and was able to supply it to us from their Atlanta headquarters. This will get us back on line probably by the end of this week", Kilbourn said. He pointed out that the plant was still producing on a limited scale from inventory, but couldn't keep this up for very long". The huge pipe furnishes the local plant with about 10-12 thousand gallons per minute to feed their raw material needs. Kilbourn said the pipe carries only about a 50 pounds per square foot pressure. Kilbourn said the pipe was joined by O-rings which were gradually eaten away by sulphuric acid, which the plant uses in its process. Kilbourn said the plant personnel was working around the clock to make repairs and "We hope to have it back together again by Friday or Saturday of this week", he said. Kilbourn said he didn't foresee any lay-offs if the repairs go according to schedule. The concrete pipe is nearly three miles long, carrying sea water from a point inside the St. Joe Paper Company mill to the Basic- plant on the Gulf County Canal. "We've had excellent cooperation from our personnel in making repairs", Kilbourn said. "Everyone has pitched in and did what they could to get our wet system back into production with as little down time as possible". Schools Open Monday, Slightly Lower Census It may still be summertime here in the Florida Panhandle, but summer is over for school children. They will be headed back to school Monday, start- ing another nine month period of study. Port St. Joe and Gulf County Schools will begin classes Monday morning for the new school year with a slightly reduced census and a teacher force working without a con- tract. The teachers and School administration teams have been negotiating throughout -the. summer on a working agreement under the new state PERC laws, but have The City of Port St. Joe made some requests of the County Commission Tuesday Demo Rally In Wewa Saturday The Democratic party political rally will be held Saturday in Wewahitchka in front of the Wewahitchka Statei:ank on Highway 71. Saturday's rally will start at 4:00 p.m., Port St. Joe time. The rally will be the third in a series, with the final speaking program sche- duled to be held here in Port St. Joe Saturday, Sep- tember 4. sA fish supper will be served at Saturday's rally '; to raise money to help defray expenses of Raf- field's softball team in attending the national tour- nament in Rhode Island on Labor Day week end. night, as the Board met in a short session before a sparse crowd. City Commissioner James .B. Roberts requested the county to purchase a new fire truck for the St. Joseph Fire Control District under the same plan used for the Tupelo District, Highland View and White City. Roberts said, "We furnish fire protection for the entire county south of Cypress Creek and never fail to go anywhere we're called. Our truck is now over 10 years old and even though it is a good truck and we're not about to throw it away, the Fire Underwriters say it is obsolete and require us to purchase another one to keep our rating". The trucks referred to by Roberts were paid for by the county with revenue sharing funds and being repaid by the Tupelo and St. Joseph Fire Control Districts by a portion of the taxes collected out of the districts each year. In each case, the. annual payment amounts to less than $1,000. Roberts offered to turn Port St. Joe's share of the fire control district money (which amounts to about $2,000 to $2,500 per year) back to the county to purchase the truck. (Cost of a new fire truck is approximately $45,000.00) Clerk George Core stated, for information, that the trucks purchased were owned by the county and operated by White City, Highland View and Wewahitchka for the Tup- elo and St. Joe Districts. Roberts said, "We wouldn't be hung up over ownership". The Commission pointed out there were already two new trucks in the St. Joseph Dis- trict one at Highland View and one at White City. The Board agreed to consi- der the request and give an answer in the near future. "We have to look close at our revenue sharing funds", Board chairman Eldridge Money said, "it's in pretty sad shape and sort of uncertain at this time". Roberts also asked that the County consider exchanging the drain pipes which carry Chicken House Branch under Eighth and Tenth Streets, before the streets are re-sur- faced in the near future. "The City has put in facilities to carry off more drainage water than the pipes now under these streets will handle and you might should consider chang- ing them before the streets are re-worked". LIBRARY The new Northwest Florida Regional Library building to be built here in Port St. Joe was also discussed again at Tuesday's meeting, with the ,Board members and Mrs. James T. McNeill of the library ad hoc planning com- mittee discussing the building. Mrs. McNeill is also a mem- ber of the permanent board which operates the county (Continued on Page 2) Sample of Ballot In This Issue A sample ballot of the September 7 primary is printed in this week's issue of The Star on pages four and five. The ballot has the sever- al candidates arranged as they will appear on the voting machines, listing the lever number of each candidate in Democratic, Republican and Non-Parti- san primaries. The ballot is printed in order for prospective vot- ers to study the positioning and to make it easier to find the name of the candi- date for whom they wish to cast their vote. All prospec- tive voters are advised to study the ballot between now and voting day. been unable to reach an agreement as yet. The nego- tiation sessions will continue into the school year until agreement is reached. HIGH SCHOOL Port St. Joe High School will open its classroom sessions at 8:20 a.m., Monday, with stu- dents getting out of school at 2:15 in the afternoon. Principal Ken Herring said the school will have a slightly larger enrollment this year, with at least 860 pupils expect- ed to fill the classrooms on opening day. Herring said the school ended their last year" with about an 860 average daily attendance, but he said the school expects a few more students from last year's sixth grade this year, than graduat- ed last year. "Also, we tend to gain a few students as the year goes along", Herring said. The high school will offer Naval Junior Reserve Officers Training this year for the first time. Two new instructors are on hand to teach the class which will be held for one period each day for the parti- cipating students. Herring said 68 students have enrolled in the program. "We'll have an expanded science requirement this year", Herring said. Science is now being required of students in grades 7 through 10. An expanded social studies program also makes this sub- ject mandatory in grades 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12. Herring also said new pro- grams have been set up for discipline and attendance which will give the school a better control over absentee- ism and behaviour during school functions. Herring said the high school will begin school with a full faculty with all instructors teaching in their field. "This is an important item in main- taining our accreditation", he added. ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Elementary school will take in for classes at 8:05 with pupils being released for the day at 2:25, according to Barbara Shirley, assistant principal at the school. The Elementary School will have a slight student decline this year, with 670 pupils expected to show up on open- ing day. The school had a census of 690 last year. : One new staff member, Lanita Faye Taunton has been added to the physical educa- tion department. Mrs. Shirley stated that Mrs. Betty Sue Anchors has been re-assigned in the system and will be working in the sixth grade reading depart- ment during the new year. Other new programs include individualized reading and math instruction for all grades. The Title 1 reading program this year will center in the Kindergarten through grade three groups. ' Board Rejects Pay Increase The Gulf County School Board started work on its new budget in a special meeting last Thursday afternoon. In the first session,, the Board backed down on a suggestion by Superintendent David Bid- well that non-instructional personnel be given a five percent increase in salary for the coming year. In the salary increase sug- gestion, Bidwell made his proposal, stating 'that Comp- troller Roy Taylor had recom- mended an across-the-board $35.00 per month increase. The Board, led by Gene Raffield, balked at both pro- posals, saying they weren't sure how much money would be available for raises or anything else. Raffield said, "When we get our financial picture, we may even be able to raise the salaries by more than five percent." Bidwell's proposal didn't in- clude increases for supple- ments such as band director, coaches, senior sponsors, etc. Bidwell reported to the Board that the school system would have a cash carry-over of $74,019; they had paid off a $75,000 note early and should receive approximately $70,000 more from the state this year than they did last year. -, (Continued on Page 2) Sharks Will Host Grid Jamboree The 1976 edition of the Sharks' football team will play host to a football jamboree here next Friday night, September 3. This will be the first time the jamboree has been played in Port St. Joe's stadium. In addition to the Sharks, other teams will be the Niceville Eagles, Bay High Tornadoes and the Rutherford Rams. Only seven lettermen from Port St. Joe's semi-finalist team last year will be returning this year. The Sharks will have a building program this season, and members of the community are urged to come out and see the new line-up perform. Coach Taylor has taken green teams in past years and turned them into championship winners. The Niceville and Rutherford teams will both be under the direction of new coaches for this season. Game time for the jamboree is 8:30 p.m., with Niceville pitted against Rutherford in the first quarter, Bay versus Rutherford in the second quarter, Niceville against St. Joe in the third, and Bay up against St. Joe in the final quarter. Tickets for the jamboree are now on sale at the front office at the high school. Pregame tickets can be purchased for $1.00, students, and $2.00 adults. All tickets at the gate will be $2.00 each. In the photo above these boys are shown being serious about the hard chore of getting prepared for the 1976 football season. Here the boys have donned their pads and practice uniforms for some hard-hitting contact. Seven lettermen from last year's squad are returning and will lead the team composed mainly of inexperienced players. But St. Joe's young teams have in past years surprised fans and supporters and come through with championship material. 15 Cents Per Copy Maintenance Superintendent Bob Burkett examines damage to pipe City Asks County Board to Pay for New Fire Apparatus po a k .%" Lol F --THE STAR- Published Every Thursday at 306 Williams Avenue, Port St. Joe, Florida By The Star Publishing Company Second-Class Postage Paif at Port St. Joe.

The spoken word is lost; the printed word remains EDITORIALS: B-1 Bomber Becomes Subject of Campaign One of the points made at the ,.Republican Convention last week 'Was the question of the B-1 bomber. Last month a large advertisement *was placed in the Wall Street 'journal, signed by Jerry Wurf, ]President of the American Federa- tion of State, County and Municipal ',Employees, opposing the develop- i:ment of the bomber. Wurf itemized what the cost of a single B-1 would do for public *education in Cincinnati, for libraries "in the District of Columbia, for fire protection for Los Angeles, for the cityy budget of Atlanta. He says the :Bt-1 has no military advantage. His anion wants to stop funding for the B-1. But they still want a military -'strong enough to deter any aggres- 7or." The trouble is, what is "strong enoughhl? Anything we do in the area of national defense is going to cost money a whole lot of money, because nothing comes cheap these days. All those advantages to those ,cities Mr. Wurf mentioned aren't -going to mean much if the cities no longer exist. Or if Soviet military :advances finally cancel out our 'deterrent. The fact is that a form of war was declared on us long ago by the Russian leaders. Their objective is to impose their ideology on the entire world. And to do that they believe they must have military superiority. They are constantly developing new weapon systems in an effort to overcome our military deterrent, such as the "Backfire" bomber that they are now deploying and which can reach the continental United States. The B-1 is in fact a terrible threat to the Soviet Union because they presently have no way of stopping it. It can fly close to the ground, under Soviet radar. It carries the air-to-ground SRAM missile. The B-1 can get off the ground in less than five minutes, making it almost invulnerable to surprise attack. The proposed B-1 fleet, like the present aging B-52 fleet, will carry more than 50 percent of our nuclear power. Stopping the B-1 will cut our strategic power in half. Unless we have a bomber force, the Soviets will be able to concen- trate additional resources on missile defenses or more offensive wea- pons to destroy Cincinnati, Washing- ton, Los Angeles and Atlanta. The English Trades Union Con- .gress has taken an interest in the !economic future of their nation, according to an article written in last Friday's Tallahassee Democrat Sby Lionel Murray, chairman of the union. The TUC is the equivalent to our own AFL-CIO. Many of the indus- tries in England which would be their target, are owned by the government. England has been buffeted by raging inflation up to 30 per cent per year which has virtually wrecked the economy of this once great nation. Now, the trade unions are lessening their demands for wage increases, with the government .taking on a new, aggressive profile in their export-import trade which has seen England's exports climb drastically, a marked improvement iin their balance of payments and their inflation rate reduced to only 19 .percent still high, but consider- :,ably lower than 30. In past years, British industry has been at virtually a standstill by crippling strikes in one segment or the other, for higher wages. Now, -Cub Scout Pack GCC IMeets Friday - Port st.

Part of that "something" is to reduce their demands for remunera- tion for services performed. This year we have seen damag- 'ing strikes in our own nation, partic- ularly with the rubber workers. We are told that if the rubber workers were to get all they want, the price of tires would jump by 20 to 30 percent. We'll consider the source of that quote, but only common sense is needed to realize the price of tires will go up. We see more strikes in other industry and the promise of even more to come. We consider everyone in the United States as being patriotic and wanting to keep our nation vibrant, strong and in the driver's seat so far as economics are concerned. We hope that in the quest for more salary (and who doesn't want more?) that the unions of our nation will consider what happened to England and not let our nation get to the brink of bankruptcy before they become concerned. It's easier to stay on top than it is to fall down and come back up again.

The biggest item of discus- sion was a planned meeting room in the building which would double as a private room to show films, have a story telling program and summer reading program for children. It was felt by some of the Commission that the room wasn't large enough for its intended purpose. One of the purposes was to provide a meeting room for various groups which would be avail- able even when the library was closed. The room can be closed off from the maifi library facilities, allowing for entrance without disturbing the main building. There was considerable dis- cussion about whether the room would accommodate at least 75 persons. Since the architect wasn't present, it was all guess work, with the Board finally deciding to tell the architect they wanted the room large enough to .take care of at least 75 people comfortably. The Board tentatively agreed to the floor scheme presented at the meeting and again instruct the architect to design the building to be built at a cost of no more than $200.000. LAND FILL BLASTED A letter from Phil Doherty, with the Department of Pollu- tion Control advised the Board that its new land fill site at Buckhorn was in violation. Doherty's report said the site did not have enough dirt on hand to bury garbage and that scavenging was being allowed on the site. Mosquito Control supervisor C. E. Daniell said he knew the site was in violation but would be corrected by the end of the month. "We had to use the dirt in an emergency situation and this didn't leave enough on station be requested to quit hand to carry out our land-fill leaving the Highland Bridge operations", Daniell said. open for long periods of time The Buckhorn site is being while making repairs.

The school administration will meet tomorrow at 10 a.m., to get their first real look at their new financial plan from the income and expendi- ture projection in comparison. The Board asked that they be furnished with a line item budget comparison, listing each expenditure for the year just passed and proposals for the coming year. In this first draft, personnel wages will be listed the same as last year and any possible increases will be added. Salaries for instructional personnel are a negotiable item and are presently being discussed by teacher and ad- ministration negotiating teams. Father of Jim Barfield Is Taken by Death E. J. Barfield, 75, of Blountstown, father of Jimmy Barfield of Port St. Joe, died Sunday at Calhoun General Hospital after a long illness. He was a lifelong resident of Calhoun County and was a retired cattle farmer. Survivors include his wife, Ruby Mae Barfield of Blounts- town; four sons, Bill, Emmett and Tommy Barfield, all of Blountstown and Jimmy Bar- field of Port St. Joe; a stepson, Franklin Faircloth of Blounts- town; three daughters, Mrs. Wiste McCollum, Ruby Caro- lyn Lee and Kathleen Brack- ins, all of Blountstown; two brothers, Cleve and Mood Barfield, both of Blountstown; 13 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. Support Local Merchants Shop at Home Last week another tom cat showed up. This time it was mostly a Siamese cat which came to the house and promptly esconched himself inside by playing on the sympathies of Carol, who can't turn aside an ailing or a "cute" animal. This cat knew how to act "cute". That darn cat has come in and taken over, to the consternation of our poodles, who thought they owned that house. They thought it, that is, until the cat came. One thing the poodles can't figure out is why this cat is so unfriendly to dogs. In the past, every cat which came to our house seemed to like friendly dogs like our poodles. They'd get out in the yard and just rub against the dogs, eat with them, play with them, etc. Not this new one; when one of the dogs gets close to him, his back goes up and his claws come out. This strange cat which has come to our house is, like I said, mostly Siamese. He is Siamese everywhere except on the face and the legs. He's white there, and definitely something else besides Siamese. If he's yours, you can have him. He's eating well and already has his favorite places picked out in the house, but he is definitely unsetting the atmosphere as far as our dogs are concerned. They won't mind at all if his owner comes and gets him. The Republicans picked Gerald Ford as expected, and Mr. Ford picked Mr. Dole as was not expected. They both say they want to debate Democrats Jimmy Carter and Walter Mondale. I wouldn't take on Mr. Dole after watching his performance -at the Convention. Probably not too many Americans knew Mr. Dole. But one thing is for sure; if he makes many political speeches like he did at the convention, he won't be soon forgotten, like Marvin Miller was. Surely you remember Mr. Miller. I'm wondering just how much time is going to pass before the editorial cartoonists come up with an illustration of a Model "T" riding down the street with a pineapple sitting in the seat. Our local ambulance service has itself a new home out to the side of the Courthouse. It's a nice building, with clean tile floors and a fine meeting room where they can practice their life-saving tactics and have their weekly meetings. In the front is space for the two ambulance vehicles to be parked, keeping them out of the weather. It's something the ambulance service has wanted ever since they became an ambulance service. They have been meeting here and there, keeping their records in shoe boxes, etc. The only thing wrong with the new building is that those who attend the meetings have to sit on the floor and spread their exams and studies out on the floor for want of chairs and a table. The ambulance service wants a few furnishings for their meeting hall, so they are going to have a garage sale September 10 and 11. The proceeds from the garage sale will be used to buy a few chairs and some needed furnishings. The whole problem with having the garage sale, is that they have nothing but the garage: they need a few items to sell out of that garage. So, what they're'asking is that you call them up if you have some items you want to get rid of but hate to throw in the garbage because it's too good to throw away. They'll peddle your junk in their garage sale and, presto, it will become somebody else's treasure. If you have something somebody else can use, just call Dick Lamberson down at the St. Joe Auto Parts and he'll see that your valuable junk is picked up. Dick is the ambulance service director. However, he works part time at the St. Joe Auto Parts and you can catch him there sometimes. Easier to Stay On Top PAGE TWO THESTA, ortSt.Jo, Fa.THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 1976 THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 1976 PAGE THREE Modern Warning Service Gives People Opportunity to Survive On September 8, 1900, the sea rose up in hellish fury to crush Galveston, Texas. More than 6,000 persons lost their lives-mostly from drowning -as the great Galveston hur- ricane swept across the island city. Weather warnings were ineffectual. The people,, un- prepared for a storm of such intensity, were helpless in the face '-of the nation's worst natural disaster, which took a toll greater than the battle deaths recorded in the Span- ish-American War two years earlier. Statistics alone cannot tell the story of suffering and per- sonal loss brought by this and other hurricanes, whose potential for death and des- truction has given them the undisputed title of "The Greatest Storm on Earth." But the dreadful storms are no longer the unheralded in- vaders they once were. The day that such a storm could strike an unsuspecting, unpre- pared public without warning is long past. The reason: the National Oceanic and Atmo- spheric Administration's carefully coordinated pro- gram for the early detection of hurricanes. Images from the Commerce Department agency's environ- mental satellites-thousands of miles out in space-give the first clue to the formation of a severe storm. 'NOAA research planes and Air Force recon- naissance aircraft fly directly into the area of suspected storm formation. Many ocean- going ships routinely flash re- ports of weather at sea to weather stations. Along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts of the U.S., a network of high-power- ed radars stand ready for detection and tracking when a hurricane comes within range. At NOAA's National Hurri- cane Center in Miami, special- ly-trained meteorologists of the National Weather Service follow the storm's course and issue warnings. At their dis- posal are the latest products of technology: high-speed com- puters, world-wide communi- cations, data from satellites, radar, aircraft, ocean buoys, oil rigs and ships. ing, the hurricane's potential for death and destruction re- mains-for Galveston and for all other areas of the Gulf Coast and the seaboard. The killer at Galveston was what the National Weatner Service calls the storm surge. It causes an estimated nine out of every 10 hurricane fatalities. . The storm surge is a great pile-up of wind-driven water- often as much as 50 miles wide, and up to 25 feet high-- that comes sweeping across the coastline in that area where the hurricane makes its landfall. Along with hammer- The Greatest Storm on Earth is still entitled to considerable respect nonethe- less, because of its deadly storm surge, winds and rain-produced flood waters. The warnings of the National Weather Service, no matter how accurate and timely, are of no value if they go un- heeded. Experience and common sense have taught some coas- tal dwellers how to cope with the hurricane. But there are always the newcomers; mil- lions of persons living along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts who never have experienced such a storm. Many others have felt only the less dan- gerous fringes of a hurricane; are confident in their false sense of security. So while a hurricane is not likely to strike Galveston again without adequate warn- ing waves, the surge acts like a giant bulldozer-flattening buildings in its path. Storm surges have caused incredible catastrophes such as the 1970 cyclone's surge on the coast of East Pakistan, where more than 300,000 per- sons lost their lives. The coastlines of the United States have also suffered a high death toll: South Carolina and Georgia coastal islands, 1893, 2,000 fatalities; Florida, 1928, 2,000; Florida, 1935, 400; New England, 1938, 600; Louisiana, 1957, 390 lives lost. The great flood of sea water in the storm surge can reach unbelievable proportions. During Hurricane Camille in 1969, a 25-foot-high storm surge demolished strong buildings as it inudated Pass Christian in Mississippi.-Les- ser heights are more usual, but still extremely dangerous. The National Weather Ser- vice recommends evacuation, when the area you're in is threatened, unless you're posi- tive you are on high enough ground to escape this rising wall of water. In some coastal areas, pop- ulation growth has made the evacuation problem critical. Evacuation route capacities have been exceeded and back- up precautions such as seek- ing refuge in high-rise build- ings may be necessary. Some other things you can do when a hurricane threat- ens, according to the Weather Service,, are: -Know your community's hurricane preparedness plan. -Stay tuned to radio, tele- vision or NOAA Weather Radio for advisories and offi- cial reports. Have a battery operated radio and emer- gency lighting for use should electricity fail. Keep your car's gas tank full. Otherwise you may run out of fuel when you really need it. Filling stations may be closed as the storm ap- proaches and pumps may be inoperative afterwards. -Plan a safe, sure evacua- tion route to high ground in- land for use in case your area is threatened. Know where hurricane shelters are located. -Know in advance if your residence can be reached by a hurricane storm surge. -Determine what valuables and other items should be taken if you must leave. Don't forget pets. Travel light. -If you are advised to eva- cuate, shut off electrical power at the main switch and water at a main valve (where it enters your house).. and leave immediately. -Use caution in attempting to cross flooded area. Flood- ing may undermine roads making them unsafe to drive on. UP -V 5-~ Port St. Joe Jr.-Sr. High School has 'a6pted a neW 'at-' thhdh e pdliy Yf ro the tpil coming school year. As in the policy in previous years, the parent must furnish the school an explanation of their child's absence, with a note to the principal.. All,parents will be notified by phone when their child is absent. Parents who wish to be notified while they are at work can give the high school office their job phone number. Parents are requested to call the school if they know their child is going to be absent. This will, eliminate the school calling to see why your child isn't in class for the day. Following is the attendance policy. If a parent has a question concerning the policy, he should call the office at the high school. When a student returns to school a note is brought to the first period teacher where a blue admission slip will be issued to the student. The stu- dent is then required to have tliis'admission slip signed by ltbacbhetW'whosd claigesithe student missed. The sixth period teacher will collect the admission slips and return them to the first period teach- er. Any admit slips not signed by all teachers are to be given to the assistant principal for investigation. All notes and admission slips are to be kept on file by the first period teacher. Unless a student presents an admission slip to the class teacher the absence is unex- cused until he brings an admit slip. Teachers are not to ex- cuse students from class to obtain another admission slip. It is the student's responsi- bility to get an admission slip at the proper time. Students will be excused only for illness or death in the family. Any other reason will be considered an unexcused absence unless approval for the absence has been secured from the office and the teach- er involved. Sponsors ofs.chool funptions (band, athletic,' field trips, etc.) requiring loss of school time should place in each teacher's box at least the day before the trip a list of stu- dents who will be absent. This list should be approved by the principal or assistant princi- pal. These absences are to be considered as excused. No admission slip will be required for these students upon re- turning to school. The sponsor should notify the first period teacher and the assistant prin- cipal if a student listed did not attend the school function. Students arriving late in the morning for school are re- quired to report to the office first and obtain an admission slip and to remove his name from the morning absentee report. The student shall have this admission slip signed by the teacher of each class that he was absent. The last teach- er to sign will return the ad- mission slip to the first period teacher.

Patrol Director Colonel El- drige Beach said, "Every sober-minded motorist and pedestrian should recognize the truth of that statement and govern their actions accord- ingly." "If every driver would rea- lize that traffic laws are on his side, he would think twice before disregarding them," the director explained. "When you drive faster than the speed limit, make wrong turns, go through red lights or stop signs or pass improperly, you run these risks traffic fines, costly car repairs, tow- ing costs, medical bills, lost wages, damage suits, law- yer's fees and possible loss of your driver's license. Add these to the suffering and anguish even a minor traffic accident causes and you have a real case for knowing and obeying traffic laws." "Unfortunately, some other- wise law-abiding citizens treat traffic laws casually and even ignore them when it becomes inconvenient to comply," Beach said. "Too many driv- ers discard their morality and common sense when they get behind the wheel of their car." The Patrol director warned that the attitude that "it's okay if I can get away with-it" causes many accidents. - "Traffic laws are on your side," he said, "but they can't help you if you ignore them."

MR. LAWRENCE in addition to being a good friend of ours is also a dedicated servant of the public. While he undoubtedly has not accomplished everything all of us desire I feel he has made giant strides in the right direction. Where the rules of society have been broken and misused MR. LAWRENCE has done everything possible to bring to justice the perpetrators of wrong doing. Not only has he been concerned with the apprehension and prosecution of wrong doers,he he has tried to route them in a direction that would lead to a useful life and be an asset to society. Society is made up of all people who live, work and play together in our country.' In order for any society to run smoothly there must be rules to keep us from infringing on the rights of others. While some accept the rights of others there are some who have no concern for mine and youth welfare, only the fulfill- ment of their desires at others' expense and discomfort. MR. LAWRENCE has done a good job as the protector and guardian of our rights and freedoms. Men of MR. LAWRENCE'S caliber are few and far between. I find him to be a man who stands up for what he thinks is right, even if it may hurt him politically. Therefore, it is with the utmost sincerity that we urge you to vote for RAYMOND LAWRENCE, a man dedicated to the principles that guarantee the protection of our rights; a man who refuses to sell his office for political expediency.

Miss Joni Grace Feted With Kitchen Shower Jiji Grace, a summer bride-elect, was honored at a kitchen shower in the home of Mrs.-Bill Parker, August 14. Hostesses for this lovely oc- casion were Misses Patti Par- ker:and Elizabeth LaFrance. The honoree was presented a dainty corsage of light blue miniature daisies with little measuring spoons attached. The party room was dec-. orated with summer flowers of the bride's chosen colors. -The :refreshment table was 'decorated in a beautiful white lace cloth. Miniature cakes, nuts,; sandwiches and punch were'served to the guests. Mrs. Tommy Dixon, sister. of the bride-elect, presided at' the bride's book. Approximately 20 guests shared the event with Miss Grace and the hostesses. Mrs. Joe Whaley C.F. Leader Mrs. Joe Whaley has been appointed Mexico Beach Chairman of the Breath of Life Campaign to fight children's lung-damaging disease, ac- cording to Herman Jones of Jacksonville, Trustee of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in Florida. Mrs. Whaley will lead local volunteers in raising funds to support research and care programs for children affect- ed by lung-damaging diseases like cystic fibrosis, severe asthama, chronic bronchitis, and bronchiectasis. The Breath of Life Cam- paign will be in October with a door-to-door drive scheduled during October 15-24. Approximately one in every 1,500 babies is born with cystic fibrosis, which is still incur- able. CF is inherited when both parents carry the reces- sive gene for CF. It is believed that one in 20 persons, or a total of 10 million Americans, is a symptomless carrier of this gene. Current research funded by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is seeking a prac- tical test to identify these carriers, as well as a cure for CF and better methods of treatment for all lung-damag- ing diseases. Because-of improved treat- ment developed through re- search, many CF patients are now living into their teens and young adulthood. This same treatment is also benefitting and often curing children suf- fering from other lung-damag- ing diseases. "Most people do not realize that there are millions of children in the U.S. affected by lung-damaging disease," said Mrs. Whaley. "For some of these children breathing is a struggle, rather than the natural function we, who are lucky, take for granted." The Breath of Life Cam- paign supports not only re- search, but diagnosis and treatment of children with lung-damaging diseases in 110 CF centers across the country. There are nine of these cen- ters in Florida, which also provide for educational pro- grams and research.

BUZZETT'S DRUG STORE Ph. 227-3371 317 Williams Convenient Drive-In Window Plenty of Free Parking Port St. Joe High School Principal, Ken Herring outlin- ed some of the rules and regulations which have been put with "Title 9" and handed down to the school districts for implementation. Herring told the Kiwanians, "The law itself isn't too hard to live with, but HEW has been charged with the responsibil- ity of interpretation and en- forcement, and the rules and regulations are tough." "Title 9" is a law against sex discrimination, passed in 1972 which became effective in local school districts July 1, 1975. The law provides for non-discrimination by sex in any facet of the school activi- ties. Herring pointed out in the law where the language in textbooks and certain other activities and sporting activi- ties are exempt from the law. Included are certain clubs, such as boy and girl scouts, YWCA and YMCA and certain body contact sports. "The interpretation by HEW isn't this liberal", Herring said. "There can be no 'boy' clubs or 'girl clubs'. The only way they can exist is if the rolls are open to girls and the club can prove that no girls or boys have applied for member- ship". Herring pointed that while much of the interpretation was comical, there was much about the rules which would cause serious problems. Herring pointed out that if the school didn't provide out- lets for both sexes to compete in the same sport, the rosters must be open to boy and girl alike, except in the areas of body contact sports Jerome H. Perlick, 62 Died Monday Night Jerome H. "Buster" Per- lick, age 62, of Mexico Beach died Monday night in the Bay Memorial Medical Center. He was a native of Detroit, Mich., and had been a resident of Mexico Beach for the past 22 months. He was a retired machinist and a veteran of World War II. Survivors include his wife, Mrs. Olga Perlick of Mexico Beach; one son, Jerome F. Perlick, a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Rachael Perlick, grand- sons, Scott and David Perlick, all of Mt. Clemens, Mich.; two brothers, Leo Perlick of De- troit and Richard Perlick of Warren, Mich.; and two sis- ters, Mrs. Martha Ostroski of Detroit, Mich. and Mrs. Frances Grenke of California. Funeral services will be held in the St. Clair Funeral Home Chapel Thursday morn- ing at 10:00 a.m. EST with Rev. Johnie McCurdy of the First United Methodist Church officiating. Burial will follow in the Holly Hill Ceme- tery, Port St. Joe. St. Clair Funeral Home is in charge of all arrangements.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 1976 PAGE NINE It's Only Your -MONEY Women and Mortgages By GERALD A. LEWIS Comptroller of Florida In the past mortgages were hard to come by for wo- men. Lenders looked on sin- gle women as unreliable be- cause they weren't married, and married women as unre- liable because they might get pregnant and quit work. There was no way for a wo- man to win unless she ran into an enlightened lender. Today, however, women are protected by an amend- ment to the Federal Housing and Community Develop- ment Act, effective August 22, 1974, which requires any- one making "federally rela- ted mortgage loans" - which includes just about every bank that makes UCED PRICE MEALS ekly 110 144 179 213 245 277 305 334 360 386 412 437 Biweekly Monthly $220 289 358 427 491 554, 611 668 720 772 824 875 25 51 $ 477 627 776 925 1,064 1,200 1,325 1,449 1,561 1,674 1,785 1,897 Annual $ 5,730 7,530 9,320 11,110 12,770 14,410 15,910 17,390 18,740 20,090 21,430 22,770 111 1,340 For Ambulance Call 227-2311 mortgage loans "to con- sider without prejudice the combined income of both husband and wife in the ex- tension of mortgage credit." This means that lenders must count the entire salary of both husband and wife when determining the cou- ple's income, and, further- more,, they cannot deny a mortgage to a single woman simply because she is un- married. Violations of this law can be reported to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, 260 Peachtree Street, N.W., Atlanta, Geor- gia 30303. Qualifying for a mortgage depends on your income and savings. You will have to make a down payment on the home usually around one- quarter to one third of the purchase price. The rest can be financed through a mort- gage. One rule of thumb which many lenders use to see if a prospective borrower is qualified goes like this: One week's salary minus fixed debt should be equal to or greater than one month's housing expenses (which in- cludes principal of the mort- gage, interest, real estate taxes and insurance). Here is a practical exam- ple of how to use this rule of thumb. Mary and Tom Hendricks want to buy a $45,000 house. They have saved $15,000 for the down-payment, but they are not sure they qualify for the $30,000 mortgage. Following the rule of thumb, Mary and Tom esti- mate that their housing ex- penses for one month will run $366.57 and one week's salary (based on their com- bined, gross income minus $100 a month to repay a car loan) will run $400.00. Since this figure is larger than the figure for housing expenses, they stand a good chance of getting the mortgage. Lenders usually require both husband and wife to sign the bond for the mort- gage because most homes are held in joint ownership, even though the credit may belong to only one partner. No extra signature should be required when a single per- son applies for a mortgage, .provided title is to be taken in that person's name alone. (AFNS) -To the Citizens of Gulf Co.

JOE MOTOR COMPANY . THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 1976 Over 12 Billion Trees Planted In South 'D3)uring 1975-76, the South's 1st products industry again fwroed its concern for our nation's resources by planting 'er .half-a-billion new trees, according to the Southern , rest Institute. S$gFI Executive Vice Presi- '"enttBenton H. Box announced the annual survey of the pulp -and paper, plywood, lumber, "gd other wood-using indus- .tries in the thirteen Southern i4tates showed 568,616,931 pine sand hardwood seedlings plant- cd during the 1975-76 planting season. ,-Box said, "Also significant is industry's distribution of .over 76-million seedlings to -private landowners for plant- -ing on their lands. That boosts ,the total seedlings planted, as result of industry efforts, to overr 644-million." Box went ~ni, "Industry's concern be- .pmes apparent when you _pnsider that companies are 0.ow planting over twice as many trees as they did ten years age." During the 1965-66 planting season, industry :planted 261-million seedlings. ..A closer examination of the 175-76 figures shows that over @64-million of the trees planted . You Are Cordially by industry were pine, and 3.8 million were hardwood. Over 157-million were what indus- try calls "supertrees" or su- perior seedlings. "Those are genetically superior trees that grow 15 to 20 percent faster, taller, straighter and healthi- er than ordinary trees," ac- cording to the veteran forest- er. SFI has been conducting the *,eejlanting survey since '1947, and since that time almost 9-billion trees have been planted by industry in the South. Box went on, "Even though the industry has a good track record in regenerating the renewable resource, we still have a long way to go to assure an adequate supply of Wood for the future. There are 204-million acres of commer- cial forestlands in the South.. Industry owns only 17-percent, .or about 35-million acres. !Government owns 18-million acres, about 9 percent. The largest owner is private, non- industrial landowners who control over 150-million acres, or about 74-percent." Box went on, "The problem is that most of those private and Invited to Attend LONG AVENUE Baptist Church Corner Lona Ave. and 16th St. : SUNDAY SCHOOL................... 9:45:I.M.

We need sound scientific for- est management practiced on these lands to avoid future wood shortages." Box added, "Assistance is available to the private land- owners through a number of industry and government pro- grams. Industry also sponsors the American Tree Farm System. We have over 19,500 registered Tree Farms in the South. Each of these Tree Farms represents sound for- est management at work un- der the guidance of a profes- sional Forester." Box said anyone interested in becoming, a Tree FarmeFr'-should write to :Manager, American Tree Farm System, American Fof-' est Institute, 1619 Massachu- setts Avenue, N.W., Washing- ton, D.C. 20036. Box concluded, "Everyone benefits from scientific forest management. Besides the ob- vious economic benefits, well- managed forests provide beauty, recreation, wildlife habitat, watershed protection and control of erosion. Trees are a renewable resource we can't afford to misuse." Gulf Coast Council Starting Membership Drive On Sept. 1 The annual fall membership campaign in the Gulf Coast Council, Boy Scouts of Amer- ica, will begin September 1st when 281 Scout troops and Cub Scout packs enroll new mem- bers. Called Frontiers 76, Bicen- tennial Year Round-Up, the Scout Council expects to give an opportunity to all boys to join the Boy Scouts of Ameri- ca, Le Alexander, Scout Exec- utive said. Special events scheduled for this fall include School Nights, Troop Rally Night, First- Nighter, Uniform Day, Cam- porees, School Audiences and New Unit Organization Meet- ings. A boy may become a Scout when he is 11 years old or has completed the fifth grade or a Cub Scout when he is 8 years old or has completed the second grade, Alexander said. In addition to the boys who join existing packs and troops Alexander said, the Gulf Coast Council's membership com- mittee expects to organize about 50 new packs and troops in the 11 counties it serves in Northwest Florida and South Alabama.

X: Through the beginning and strengthening of the Woman's Missionary Union, she helped build strong Baptist missions at home and abroad. As important, she was instrumental in organizing support for world missions. Annie Armstrong was not the. most promising candidate for such a role. Born to a middle-class B'altimore family, she was 20 before she became a Christian. But she was a person who practiced her beliefs; soon she organized a Mothers' Club to help in child rearing and joined a prayer circle called "Woman's Mission to Women." In 1888 Miss Armstrong led in raising a $4,000 Christmas offering for foreign missions. Lottie Moon, a missionary in China, was sent $3,000. The offering has grown into our Lottie Moon Christmas X Offering for Foreign Missions and is, along with the Cooperative Program, the life-vein for Baptist foreign missions. Miss Armstrong also helped frame the constitution of the Woman's Missionary Union and served as WMU's first corresponding secretary. As WMU secretary she drove herself unsparingly: traveling extensively, writing until she crippled her hand and, at one stretch, working every day for eleven years. She continuously refused to accept pay for her work and for several years she even financed all her own travel. Southern Baptists can hardly forget this remarkable woman. INN 1 The WMU and Annie Armstrong Easter Offering for Home Missions are constant reminders of her contributions. Through Miss Armstrong's efforts in building a strong home base, American missionaries were able to take the gospel to nations around the world.

Cub Scouting is a family and home-centered program and Scouting is de- signed to achieve the BSA objectives primarily through a vigorous outdoor program. Information about the Scout and Cub Scout programs is available from the council service center, P.O. Box 2548, Pensacola, Florida, Phone, 476-6336. Lenora Peters Graduates Lenora Peters Gant, Nash- ville, Tn., received a master of science degree in early child- hood education from George Peabody College for Teachers at commencement exercises August 14. Dr. John Dunworth, presi- dent of Peabody, conferred the degrees, and His Excel- lency, Mr. James Shen, Am- bassador of the Republic of China to the United States, delivered the commencement address to the 209th graduat- ing class. Peabody traces its begin- nings to 1785, when it was chartered as Davidson Aca- demy by the North Carolina Legislature a decade before Tennessee became a state. Last year the college cele- brated its 100th anniversary as a teacher education institu- tion. The graduate and under- graduate enrollment annually totals 2,000 students from most of the United States and about 30 other countries. A- mong Peabody's alumni are 62 college or university presi- dents. Graduate degrees offered include master's, specialist in education and doctorates in a variety of fields. The college is acclaimed as an innovator in the field of education and human development. Under- graduate programs offered include teacher education and pre-professional programs. Almost three-fourths of Pea- body undergraduates plan ca- reers in the field of education. Peabody also is internation- ally, known for its School of Library Science, its School of Music and the John F.

SMATHERS, SECRETARY OF STATE (SEAL) 2t 8-26 4w M m mm U.psabM -wGb4 Land Owners Must Get Burn Authorization The determining factor in whether or not a Burning Authorization will be issued to Florida landowners is the current and predicted daily fire weather. Information such as wind direction and velocity, relative humidity, temperature, amount of time since last rainfall and stagna- tion (pollution) index must be favorable before a permit is issued. Fire weather informa- tion is gathered daily both locally and through the Natio- nal Weather Service. Open burning between the hours of 9:00 a.m. (standard time) and one hour before sunset is allowed for forest, grass, woods, wild lands or marshes, or vegetative land clearing debris provided a burning authorization is ob- tained first. The Division of Forestry may "alloyw- open burning at other times when there is reasonable assurance that atmospheric and meteor- ological conditions in the vici- nity of the burning will allow proper diffusion and disperse- ment of air pollutants. In all cases, the landowner must notify adjacent landow- ners of his burning intentions and have or make adequate provisions that the burn will be contained within his own boundaries. Failure to obtain proper burning authorization could result in a fine up to $500.00 and up to sixty (60) days in jail.

MEDICAL MESSAGE from the Florida Doctors Football Conditioning Suggestions Is your son one of the several hundred thousand young Americans who will soon be "going out" for football this fall? If so, health authorities have some suggestions that will help to insure that your son is properly conditioned for this vigorous sport. Begin with a pre-season medical examination by your family doctor to insure that your son is physically fit to participate in a contact sport. Football requires a standard of physical fitness that assures sufficient strength and endurance, a good level of skill, and an ability to adjust to hot and humid weather. There is no substitute for good health and physical fitness! Before exposing him to the rigors and risks of tackle football, be sure that your son is physically ready. Some of the recommendations by the Florida Medical Association are aimed at coaches but many of them are for individual players and their parents. Your son should faithfully follow a personal conditioning program during the summer based on information gained through the school's health and physical education classes plus some specific training for football. FIRST WEEK NON-CONTACT DRILLS At least the first week of practice should be limited to non-contact drill with emphasis c,1 conditioning and fundamentals. Shorts, T-shirts and football shoes are the recommended training gear in this period because of the heat. Mouth protectors should be worn in order for the players to become accustomed to them. SECOND WEEK LIMITED CONTACT The second week should include only controlled body contact drills and wide-open play should be avoided. Practice games or game-condition scrimmage should be avoided until after at least two weeks of practice. A minimum of three weeks of carefully planned practice should precede the first regular game. FURTHER THOUGHTS FROM DOCTORS Here are some additional thoughts from the doctors of Florida. Participation in interscholastic football is not a right but a privilege for those who can demonstrate the high level of physical and emotional fitness necessary to play aggressively, skillfully and with sportsmanship. However, participation in school football should not detract from keeping up with a broad based physical education program and from sampling other sports during the off-season. Doctors in Florida are concerned about the health and safety of our state's young athletes. A special committee dealing with the Medical Aspects of Sports has been established and is functioning. Studies on sports injuries and the ways to prevent these injuries are one of this committee's main concerns. The group of doctors serving on this committee are studying data concerning the heat, fluid and electrolyte balance in the body. This Imbalance is thought to be an important due in the study of sports Injuries and deaths in youth athletes. Continued research on the causes and ways to prevent injuries in athletes is the main goal of this committee. It is part of the continuing effort by doctors in Florida to provide the best medical care to all the people in this state. This is a4nedical message from the Florida Medical Association in behalf of the doctors of Florida and a public service ofthis newspaper.

Colonel Eldrige Beach, pa- trol director said, "Patrol records for the first six months of 1976 show that bicycle deaths are down from 33 to 23 as compared to the same period in 1975. Pedes- trian deaths for the same six always obey the pedestrian control signals. It is unlawful for pedestrians to stand on the paved portion of the roadway to "hitch-hike" a ride. The director concluded by saying, "Many of the deaths each year, involving pedes- trians and bicyclists could. have been prevented by fol- lowing the rules of safe walk- ing and riding. They are for your protection so use them to your advantage."

Cumbie 4t 8.19 '' I I I- - unTTIC fI r i/ months period show that 237 have died in 1976 as compared to 221 in 1975." The director continued, "Bi- cyclists and pedestrians have specific laws written for their protection in the state statutes and everyone should know and obey them. They were made for their protection." According to Beach bicy- clists must obey traffic control devices and right-of-way pre- ferences because they have the same rights and duties as the driver of a vehicle. In addition no more persons may ride on a bicycle than it was intended to carry. Never "hitch"' a ride on a car or truck. Bike riders should al- ways ride as near to the right side as possible and not more than two abreast. Where bicy- cle paths are provided they must be used. Beach said the law calls for pedestrians to use sidewalks where available, or if not, to walk on the left side of the roadway facing traffic. Streets should be crossed at crosswalks where available. Never leave the curb and walk or run into the street and ELECT RALLIES For September 76 Primaries IlV i IVL- V!
