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".

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say it is obsolete and require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.

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. -,

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.

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,

the unions have come to realize the
excessive demands are hurting their
country to the point of bankruptcy
and they wish to do something about.
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.

libraries under the regional
system.
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

Raffield still held fast in the
face of this report and said,
"Let's look at the over-all
budget before we make any
firm decisions about how
much we are going to put in
any particular place."
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

item and are presently being
discussed by teacher and ad-
ministration negotiating

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.

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.

Obey Traffic Laws


Traffic laws are on your side
and you should know and obey
them said the Florida High-
way Patrol today.
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."

To the Citizens






of Gulf County



I wish to urge you to give serious consideration to our Sheriff,
RAYMOND LAWRENCE who is up for re-election. 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.

Sincerely,
Ralph and Selma Shoemaker

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

public lands are not as produc-

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

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

"The Qualified Candidate"

BICENTENNIAL BIOGRAPHY: ANNIE ARMSTRONG (1850-1938)
Woman Pioneers'
in Mission Support
Long before women were given
the vote, Annie Armstrong was a
: leader among Southern Baptists.
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.

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

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. Ken-
nedy Center for Research on

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.
For additional information,
contact your nearest Division
of Forestry Field Office or
local forest fire control unit.

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."

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
