Ray Eberlee, unit advisor of the Lake Sands District, re- marked that the Port St. Joe troop is the largest continuous troop in the entire district. He also had good things to say over the re-organization of the troop after a period of time being in.limbo. Bill Kitchens, chapter advi- sor for the district made the presentation of the charters to Rotary Club president, Ted Cannon. Cannon immediately turned the charters over to Boy Scout leaders Eric Ham- mond and David Horton and to Cubmaster Perry McFarland. Cannon stated, "I am proud of David, Perry and Eric are giving their time and efforts to the scouting program. It's such a needed activity for young boys to participate in". Cannon and Rotary youth chairman, Jerry Sullivan started making plans to guide the club in renovating the Scout Hut on 10th Street. Lively Interest In Voting Gulf County voters will go to the polls Tuesday, facing an abbreviated ballot but with a magnified interest. In the first primary, three weeks ago, the voters had a relatively large ballot to make their selections from. Now that the field has been nar- rowed down to only eight contests, the interest has grown considerably. While every race on the ballot has engendered a great School Night for Scouting The Boy Scouts of America will hold their big "School Night for Scouting" program Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. at Port St. Joe Elementary School. All boys interested in joining the Boy Scout program should attend and bring your mother and father, or at least one parent. Boys can join either Cub Scouting (age 8-9), the Webe- los Scouts (age 10) or the Boy Scouts (age 11 and older) according to your age. Bring $2.50 to join. The Boy Scouts of America is a lot of fun. You'll enjoy doing things like swimming, carping out, canoeing, arche- ry and rifle shooting, cooking out over a fire, making mon- ey, entering contests, taking part in Indian dances and ceremonies and big scout shows, plus a million other things. Come to the school Thurs- day night at 7:30 p.m. to join the biggest gang in the world...The Boy Scouts of America. We Made A Boo-Boo The gremlins got in our type - setter last week and transpos- ed the vote count in the County Commission, District One race. The Star reported Jimmy Gortman had 1,603 votes and Rudy Pippin, 1,662. The correct count was 1,063 for Gortman and 1,662 for Pippin. amount of interest for-those involved, the two which have had the most widespread in- terest among voters are the races for Sheriff and Super- intendent of Schools. While these two races generated a bit of feeling in the first primary, they have wound up to a peak of interest produc- tion. Gulf sent just over 60 per- cent of its 6,444 registered voters to the polls during the first primary. Chances are the percentage will be even higher during the second round, pro- vided the weather is clear. The winners of this round will be elected here in Gulf County, since there are no Republican candidates trying for any of the county posts in the November general elec- tion. After this one is over, political pundits may focus all their attention on the Presi- dential contest. CANDIDATES Those on the ballot next Tuesday, in the eight contests to be decided include: State Senator-Dempsey J. Barron and Travis P.. Mar- chant. Sheriff-Raymond Law- rence and K. E. "Ken" Mur- phy. Superintendent of Schools- Ronald Wayne Childers and Walter Wilder. County Commission, Dis- trict One-Jimmy Gortman and F. R. "Rudy" Pippin, Jr. County Commission, Dis- trict 5-Leo Kennedy and Eldridge Money. School Board, District 3- James Hanlon and Paul "Sousehead" Sewell. School Board, District 4- Herman Ard and Waylon Gra- ham. Justice of the Supreme Court, Group 1-Charles R. Holley and Frederick B. Karl. VOTING PLACES Polls will be open Tuesday from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., local time. Polls in the Central time zone in the county will open an hour later and be open an hour later than those in the Eastern zone. Polling places will be the same as they were in the first primaries. Minister of Music, Youth Coming to First Baptist The First Baptist Church announced this week that a new minister of music and youth has joined the staff of the church. Stanley E. Young, a 28 year old native of Lyons, Ga., will join the church staff the.first Sunday in October to fill the vacancy left by the resigna- tion of George Puckett. Young is a graduate of Brewton Parker Junior Col- lege at Mt. Vernon, Ga., where he majored in voice. He also graduated from Baptist Bible Institute with a degree in music, education and theolo- gy. He and his wife Drenda will STANLEY E. YOUNG be living at 524 Seventh Street. The City Commission ten- tatively agreed to sign con- tracts for a total of $431,021.50 Tuesday afternoon to con- struct a new 500,000 gallon water storage tank, to replace an old, badly worn 100,000 gallon tank now in service. In addition, the job will call for extending the main water line to the tank and extending water mains to Oak Grove and a six inch line to the Port St. Joe High School property. The tank will be located near the baseball stadium on Long Avenue, in the vicinity of the schools and should give considerably better water pressure in the southern sec- tion of the City. In addition, it will provide enough pressure to serve Oak Grove, the schools and give the City more insurance of maintaining wa- ter service in times of trouble through an increased storage capacity. The main contract of $364,- 100 will be signed with Pitts- burgh-Des Moines Steel Com- pany of Atlanta, Ga., for construction of the new tank pending approval of Farmer's Home Agency, the lending agency for the project. Also included in the bid is the razing of the old tank to be taken out of service. A second bid of $67,921.50 will be awarded to Rusty Plumbing Company of Sara- sota pending the same appro- val from FHA. This contract will pay for the piping work and extension of the water lines to Oak Grove and the high school area. Construction time for the tank construction is estimated at 240 days and the piping. work is expected to take 150 days. Smith and Gillespie En- gineers of Jacksonville is the designing engineer on the project. INSURANCE BIDS The City Commission took bids Tuesday night on the insurance needs of the City for the coming year and appear- ances are that the City's insurance bill for the coming year will be in the neighbor- hood of $65,000 for complete coverage. The final amount of the insurance bill cannot be de- termined until the bids have been tabulated and interpret- ed and the business given to the various bidders. Of five firms making bids on the City's insurance needs, no one firm bid on' all items requested. About the only item all firms seemed to be inter- ested in was the Workman's Compensation insurance, which three firms bid at around $25,300 each. There was only $38.00 difference in the three bids for Workman's Compensation. Only one bid was received on coverage for buildings and property owned by the City. This bid was for $10,385.00. APPROVE BUDGET The Commission approved the City's budget for the coming fiscal year Tuesday night, giving their nod to a budget of $5,073,668.00. Of this amount, $1.4 million is includ- ed as a special fund to pay for the new water tank construc- tion approved Tuesday night and enlarging and improving (Continued on Page 2) County Awarded $5,500 for Boating Facilities The Governor and Cabinet Tuesday awarded Gulf County more than $5,500 in funds from the Florida Boating Improvement Program for construction of a boat ramp and parking facility. According to Harmon Shields, executive director of the Department of Natural Resources, the ramp will be located at the end of State Road 22 at the Apalachicola River. Plans also call for parking facilities near the 24-foot wide ramp; Shields said. Funding for the project, which totals $5,524, will be administered by DNR's Division of Recreation and Parks. Charges of Unfair Labor Practices Made of City A charge of engaging in St. Joe this week by the sons for taking the action. The unfair labor practices was Laborers' Local No. 1306, charge notice was signed by filed against the City of Port AFL-CIO, citing several rea- R. O. Scherer, representative of the union. Hospital Program Recognized Municipal Hospital has been formally recognized by the American Hospital Associa- tion as an active participant in a program to more effectively monitor cost management. The program involves the sharing of cost data submitted by nearly 3,000 health care institutions as a means for these facilities to compare their own cost control effec- tiveness with others of similar size. Municipal Hospital has been taking part in the AHA-spon- sored program since 1970; "We have found the data information supplied by the program to be an excellent management tool in evaluat- ing our cost containment ef- forts," said David Dunham, administrator. "By keeping abreast of what other health care institutions are doing in cost areas, we are better able to adjust our own procedures accordingly." .-- - manhole sticking up above the roadbed on Westcott Circle where the road is under R ash of W recks W rack R region construction.

He has a broken nose to remind him the sign is there. Specifically, the action lists the following charges against the City: "We had an election on February 4, 1976, and on March 8, 1976, we asked the City of Port St. Joe, to start negotiations with Local No. 1306. As of this date we have had six negotiation meetings, and have agreed on one point only. This is bulletin board privileges. "We have filed a number of unfair labor practices against the City for its employees, as they have no grievance proce- dure. "Something has come up between the City and the employees and the City is now accusing the union of black- mail. "The City has now fired nine (9) of their employees because of their union activi- ty." The City has in fact released nine of its employees at the Wastewater Treatment plant, in a force reduction move, according to City Clerk Mike Wright, acting as spokesman for the City. The employees were released this week on a seniority basis. The official City answer pointed out the extra employees were hired to work out bugs in the new plant and get it operating properly. In its design, engineers stipu- lated the plant could be oper- ated with a force of 24. The plant now will have a work force of 29 men after the force reduction has been ac- complished.

Dog Problem It seems we are hearing more complaints than ever about dogs roaming the streets of Port St. Joe. This is not only a problem in the City, but throughout the county. Roaming, big and vicious dogs are becoming more and more of a problem. It has been ignored or tolerated for too long. We think the City needs to step up its present preparations being made to take care of this problem and the county, too, should become concerned before we have an unfor- tunate incident happen here due to dogs which aren't cared for proper- ly. While this is a problem which government should face, we think the dog owners have a duty and responsibility to see that their dogs LETTERS. . to the Editor Sept. 15,1976 Dear Editor: :I would like to leave this thought with the voters. : You have been told by one of the Senate candidates that your auto insurance rates would go down on October 1, 1976. I just received my insur- ance statement, which is due October 1, 1976, and it has increased $90.00. SLet your conscience be your guide when you start to vote. Sincerely, Clyde M. Melvin are kept from being a nuisance or threat to their neighbors. If a person has a dog which"they know to be mean or destructive, they should. take steps to see that it doesn't bother other people. No doubt those people with this kind of dog have received complaints. If the dog owners were being bothered by the dogs of others, they would properly expect the owner to take care of the situation. Dogs are fine pets, but when they become a nuisance to others, this should be a concern of the owner. It's unfortunate that govern- ment should have to be called in to take care of this problem. Those causing it should be more than willing to see that their pet isn't a bother to others. (Continued from Page 1) Water Tank the water treatment plant. The operating budget is still $3.6 million as reported three weeks ago. A breakdown of the budget shows, $869,797.00 for the Gen- eral Fund, $1,725,460.00 for the Water and Sewer Department (which contains the $1.4 mil- lion construction fund), and $2,478,411.00 for operation of the Wastewater Treatment plant. Millage levied to finance the budget was set at 5.13, which will bring in the same num- ber of tax dollars as last year's levy of 5.14 mills. September 3, 1976 Dear Mr. Ramsey: I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the excellent coverage given in The Star leading up to and during the open house of the Gulf County Guidance Clinic. We appreciate your efforts in making it a successful event. Sincerely, William F. Lyles President, Board of Directors Gulf County Guidance Clinic Read the Classifieds Mulberry Manager Kenneth S. Small, the son of Mr. and Mrs. George Small of Port St. Joe, has been retained by the City of Mulberry as their City Manager, effective this week. Small was chosen from a field of 78 applicants for the position in the central Florida city. Small, who is 23 years of age, now has the distinction of being the youngest City Man- ager in the State of Florida. Prior to taking the position in Mulberry, Small had work- ed here in Port St. Joe, with the City, as administrative assistant. His main responsi- bility was in administration of federal programs and grants: in which the City of Port St. Joe was involved. Small has a degree from Florida State University, with study emphasis in govern- mental economics, business management and accounting. Small was formally hired by the Mulberry City Commis- sion at their regular meeting on Tuesday night of last week.

Then we can tell you. At a dock warming you warm a dock, just like you warm a house at a house warming. One thing different though: at a dock warming you eat raw oysters on the half shell and boiled shrimp. The authority on dock warming in this area seems to be Jimmy McNeill of Indian Pass Seafood Company. He had one for his new shrimp dock at Indian Pass last Thursday and eat shrimp and oysters is what they did. Nobody even took a glance at the new dock. In this photo, George Core and Bubba Gander, whose best half face is in the extreme foreground, show how you eat oysters at a dock warming. -Star photo * ^ :K; ETAOIN SHRDLU By WESLEY R. RAMSEY We have some fine facilities for various activities here in Port St. Joe; facilities we can justly be proud of. We have some fine school buildings, which are the envy of many another community, we have fine churches, stately and serviceable government buildings such as the City Hall and the Courthouse, not to mention the Stac House, Centennial Building, etc. We have nice parks for our children, reasonably well equipped and some of the best baseball and softball facilities in the Big Bend. As a matter of fact, other communities in the Bend and Panhandle are just now starting to catch up to what we have had for years. I know we all appreciate what we have and enjoy their 'useto the fullest. , We have most of everything, except toilets which will flush and run off into the sewer at the football stadium, The toilets at the football have been a shame and disgrace ever since the stadium was built several years ago. Recent renovations at the stadium didn't remedy this situation one little bit. Now, rather than one or two toilets to run over into the rest room floors, flooding them, like we had with the old facilities, we now have FBI Agent Tells Rotary Release Art Newhass, an FBI agent from Jacksonville said most of his organization favored ex- tended jail sentences for habitual criminals in a speech before the Port St. Joe Rotary Club last Thursday. Newhass said most law officers can predict what two thirds of the jailed criminals will do when they get out of jail on some type of release program. "Two thirds of those arrested for criminal acts are repeaters", the agent said. One disturbing statistic the Kiwaniar the GCC( Dr. Larry Tyree, president of Gulf Coast Junior College, told the Gulf Coast story to the Kiwanis Club Tuesday, using a slide presentation to aug- ment his rendition of what the college had to offer for citizens of this area. Dr. Tyree said the school offers a well-rounded curricu- lum, with something for all ages. He emphasized this claim by pointing out that the college is now serving over 10,000 people in full time and night classes, in addition to the many community services programs the institution of- fers. He pointed out that the school has the latest equip- ment to use in dispersing their subject matter. while the college offers a two year program, he pointed out that some students grad- uate with degrees in much less time by taking special ex- aminations: others go on and Programs Failing enforcement officer gave the gave an incidence in Jackson- Rotary club was that there are ville where a concentrated 5,283 serious crimes committ- operation was conducted ed each year for every 100,000 against a criminal activity in people living in the United that city.

To be real candid about the situation, I have never been in the rest rooms at the football stadium. But, where I haven't, hundreds of others have at every football game. It seems that after every game, I hear somebody grumbling about the restroom facilities at our stadium. I don't know what is wrong with them. I do think they should be fixed, permanently, before the next home football game. It's embarras- sing to have visitors come to Port St. Joe's stadium and be forced to remember us as that place.where you haye to hike up your britches legs and wade intthe-resrooms. . Writing about this river which comes up in the rest rooms at the football stadium at every game reminds me of something I read in the papers the other day. Did you know the northern lumbering firms are quitting their practice of rafting logs down the river to the mill? It seems skidders and log trucks have been introduced to the north woods to take over that chore. Too, the north woods lumberjack is fading from the scene; a victim of changes in the way of doing things. The north has also discovered the tree-cutting machine which trims the limbs from the tree, snips it off at the bottom and lays it in the truck. I wonder where the north woodsmen have been all these years? We have had the tree cutting machine, skidders and log trucks for years. Stretching the subject a bit, one could wonder when the ecology boys will get to the point of outlawing skidders, wood trucks and tree cutters. They are making the wood cutter a dying species and they are in the business of seeing that species don't die even if their dying is an improvement. I see where Pat Moynihan has defeated Bella Abzug as the Democratic nominee for the Senate in New York. That's a pity: I'm going to miss Bella's floppy hats and fog horn voice on TV ... almost as much as I miss a tooth ache. There are times when Frenchie tries to get my attention around my newspaper at night, like saying "Yoo Hoo, I'm home, I'm here too!" Of course I knew it all the time, I was just reading. I know you men and ladies have that trouble too. The men like to relax for a few minutes and read the paper, a book or a magazine and the women want to rattle about this and that. Even though things get touchy and the ladies think they are being ignored, they're really not; at least not as much as one man from Montgomery I read about the other night during one of those times Frenchie was saying, "Yoo hoo". This fellow started on a trip with his wife and stopped for gas. His wife said she was going to the rest room while they were stopped. After he paid for the gas the man got back in the car and drove off. He drove and drove for five hours before he noticed his wife wasn't in the car with him. Now, I may be guilty of shutting Frenchie out for a while at night while reading the paper, but I find it hard to believe I could be off on a trip, leave her at a service station and not realize it until five hours later. The lady who was left found that hard to believe, too. She hinted the man was going to eat what he cooked for himself for a while after that little episode. .I Bowling .N News L-m -- mm Thursday Nite Ladies' League On Lanes one and two, HV Motors won four games from Tic's.

Can you the taxpayer afford a 47 percent increase in the valuation of your property? Can you the taxpayer afford a 1.3 millage increase in your taxes? My opponent supports these two increases. He says it is necessary because of inflation. A 5 percent increase in wages because of inflation seems to be the accepted scale. Wouldn't this same increase of 5 percent in property valuation apply to a property valuation increase, without the 1.3 millage increase? This big increase in property valuation and millage increase can be corrected by voting for and electing LEO KENNEDY your County Commissioner, District 5.

I appreciate the many courtesies shown me by the citizens of Gulf County, and if I can ever be of any help to any citizen, please call me. I also want to take this opportunity to ask for your con- tinued vote and support in the second primary. I would like to ask the supporters of Mr. Canty Jones and Mr. Nathan Peters, Jr. to support me in the election September 28. It is pertinent that ALL tie people of GuIlf County 4l~,represented. A vote for Herman Ard will be a vote for ALL the children in Gulf County. There seems to be two main issues in this campaign: (1) Basic Education, and (2) Discipline. BASIC EDUCATION is covered by a new law that was enacted by the 1976 Legislature-"The Functional Literacy Law" which states, "Specific emphasis must be placed on each pupil's mastery of the basic skills-especially reading-before he is promoted from the third, fifth, eighth or eleventh grade. Begin- ning with the 1978-79 school year, each School Board must establish standards for graduation from high school.

Many tax dollars have been spent to put all of Gulf County's schools on the accredited list and it is important that the money and work involved in this process not be wasted. Here Are the Facts on Accreditation Schools are not accredited by the State of Florida, consequently the quoting of a state statute in supporting an argument on accreditation is misleading. Our schools are accredited by The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. This is a regional accrediting agency. Regional accreditation is voluntary and extra-legal. The education requirements for the Superintendent are outlined in the "Princi- -1' r'r Is Important S ples and Standards of Membership". Principle E; Standard 1. "The administrative head of the system .... (Superintendent) and of the member school (principal) shall have earned a graduate degree from an institution approved by the Association or other regional accrediting agencies. Further, he shall have earned at least 15 semester hours of graduate credit with emphasis on school administration and supervision either as part of the master's program or in addition thereto." If your Superintendent fails to meet the above requirement your schools will be removed from the accredited list. Walter Wilder meets this requirement. Walter Wilder has had his graduate transcript reviewed by the Executive Sec- retary of the Florida Commission of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. In a letter written to Walter Wilder by the Executive Secretary the final sentence reads, "You meet the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools stan- dard on the qualifications for Superinten- dent or principal."

Sounds like a good foreign car, right? Wrong! It's a goat! To promote the dairy goat industry, the North Florida Dairy Goat Club is sponsoring Florida's first dairy goat show. Goats have been exhibited at various 4-H shows and county fairs, according to Ray George, the Club's Vice Presi- dent, but there has never been a show in the state solely for dairy goats. The show, which will be held at the Wakulla Livestock Pa- vilion in Crawfordsville on September 25, is open to all five breeds; Nubian, Alpine, Toggenburg, LaMancha and Saanen, purebreds and grades. Though the show is not sanctioned by the American Dairy Goat Association, George said that ADGA rules will be followed as closely as possible. "There are a lot of miscon- ceptions about goats...they eat tin cans, smell bad and that type of thing...that we hope the show will help clear up. We are trying to promote the idea that goats are very practical animals that take far less land to graze on than a dairy cow. One good dairy goat will produce enough milk for a family," George said. Judging of the 20 event show will be done by Lewis and Martha Ingram of Birming- ham, Alabama, well known dairy goat breeders. The club's vice-president also said that it is still not too late to enter the show. The use of a pen for the animals is included in the entry fee and spectators to the show will be admitted free. For further information, in- terested participants should call 385-0393 (Leon County), 997-3857 (Jefferson), 926-7424 (Wakulla, or 627-6245 (Gad- sden).

Thank you for the food, cards, flowers and all of the other acts of kindness that were shown. The Baker family The Barnwell family IJ INOTI(ESI Raymond Lawrence Has Given You Fair, Honest, Concerned Law Enforcement Lawrence has fought drugs.... ..... r Raymond Lawrence is opposed by some because of arrests made as a result of his efforts to stamp out the use of drugs in Gulf County. His experience as a Little League baseball coach, Boy Scout Master, Sunday School leader and Quarterback Club leader has caused him to have an interest in youth so that he will continue to try to eliminate drug use from becoming a problem in this county by any means at his command. A report of Florida Depart- ment of Law Enforcement dis- closes that the Gulf County Sheriff's Department made more drug sale arrests during the year 1974 than any other County Sheriff's Depart- ment under 25,000 population in Florida. Lawrence is better qualified There are those who support Ray- mond Lawrence's opponent who say that his 19 years as a highway patrol- man better qualifies him to be Sheriff. This is absolutely false as the law en- -forcement experience which the high- way patrol is involved with is primar- ily traffic citations and accident re- ports whereas the office of a sheriff is involved with all types of law enforce- ment including traffic citations and auto accident reports. The Sheriff's office investigates and assists in pro- secution of murder, robbery, larceny, assault and battery, trespass, viola- tions of narcotic laws and many various and sundry other breaches of Opponents fa the peace. Not only must a Sheriff be a peace officer but he must also be an administrator, crime fighter, public protector, court official, jail keeper, and public servant and he must also be prepared to go through many sleepless nights when it is necessary to locate lost persons and recover bodies from the swamps and waters of the county. Although the Florida Highway Patrol has various ranks for its patrolmen from trooper to Colonel, it is interesting to know that the op- ponent of Raymond Lawrence re- mains a trooper after 19 years of highway patrol employment. to discredit Lawrence after mighty efforts Opposition to Raymond Lawrence comes from some persons in law en- forcement who wanted to be Sheriff and were either employed by the former Sheriff and waiting for him to retire or who were sitting on the side- lines waiting for what they thought was the right signal to run. After Lawrence was elected over a Sheriff who had served Gulf County well for 36 years, these persons immediately became opponents and the State's Attorney's office and certain police officers and others of these opponents instigated an intense investigation of Sheriff Law- rence's office through the State Audi- tor General, the States Attorney's office and the Internal Revenue Ser- vice and finally the only success these persons had was to persuade the United States Attorney to charge Lawrence with having killed an alli- gator which was designated as an en- dangered specie. After trial of this cause it was obvious to the United States Federal Judge that this was politically motivated and the case was thrown out with no one offering any evidence that Lawrence had been guilty of any wrong doing whatsoever. Probably the worst abuse was from those who attempted to distort a public confession by Sheriff Lawrence in his church more than a year ago where he stated he had done certain things in office which he considered were wrong and asked for forgiveness and divine guidance in the future. His opponents say that he should not be returned to office for this reason and many false rumors were circulated against Lawrence concerning his state- ments in his church. Again Raymond Lawrence admits that he has made mistakes in judgment, but he has learned from these mistakes and feels that his ability to perform the duties of the office of Sheriff has been strength- ened by these mistakes. You said four years ago you wanted fair and effective law enforcement - Raymond Lawrence has given it to you .

The Board did authorize the necessary test borings. The Chairman said he would re- quest Bill Simmons, Chair- man of the Library Planning Committee to call a meeting for August 12, at 5:00 p.m. in order that a full understand- ing be reached on several matters as to a maximum construction cost, equipment costs and a possible change n the plans to eliminate space that may not be required.

After being advised by the Attorney as to the contract, there was a motion by Comm. Owens, seconded by Comm.

Mrs. Jean Arnold presented her plat of Wetappo Creek Es- tates for final approval. After examining the plat, it was returned to her for correc- tions. After corrections by her engineer the Board approved the plat for recording.

There being no complaints offered, there was a motion by Comm. Player, seconded by Comm. Whitfield and unanimously carried that Resolution 76-13 be adopted. The Resolution granted a dredge-fill permit to the State Department of Transportation for dredging and fillingin Simmons Bayou area. Copy of said resolution is on file in the Clerk's office. Pursuant to notice published according to law that this Commission will consider adopting an ordinance for a fee for electrical hookups for inspections for mobile homes, the Chairman called for objec- tions and there being none, there was a motion by Comm. Player, seconded by Comm. Whitfield and unanimously carried, that Ordinance 76-3 be adopted. The Ordinance stated that a fee of $6.00 will be charged for inspections for electrical hook-ups to mobile homes. Copy of said ordinance is on file in the Clerk's office. The Board directed that a refund be made to each appli- cant that has paid the $12.00 fee for the electrical inspec- tion. The Board discussed the question of a special millage being assessed for the opera- tion of the Port St. Joe Munici- pal Hospital and the joint, or separate civil defense and veterans offices. These ques- tions will be placed on a special ballot in the general election. Tommy Pitts, by letter dated August 9, 1976, advised the Board that he would ac- cept the position of Mosquito Control Supervisor at a salary of $12,500.00. After much dis- Scussion the Board agreed to pay this salary, but that addi- tinal duties will be assigned to that office, including all engi- neering requirements, survey- ing, approve all subdivision plats, approve applications for utility permits on county roads, and dredging permits before they reach the Board for its final approval, and other planning work as direct- ed by this Commission. The Board directed the Clerk to notify Mr. Pitts to meet with them at the earliest date pos- sible to discuss his employ- ment. The Supervisor of Elections asked the Commission to con- sider the purchase of two additional voting machines to be kept as standby machines in case one of the present machines fails to operate dur- ing an election. She said the law provides that standby machines be on hand during elections. She suggested that if the Board decides to obtain standby machines, that AVM Corporation has used machines selling at $1,500.00. The Board asked the Finance Officer to look at the Super- visor's budget and see if she has funds available to pur- chase two used machines. After looking at the budget, it was decided that funds were not available for this equip- ment at this time. The Board discussed a re- quest from the Civil Defense Director to establish a warn- ing system between that office and the school system, which would require the purchase of one base station tone recorder at $186.50 each. After discus- sion, the Board said that be- cause of budget difficulties that no action will be taken on this request. The Chairman discussed the possibility of passing a county ordinance prohibiting com- mercial fishing and scalloping in certain areas of St. Joseph Bay. He said that the Board receives many complaints on this matter each year. After discussion, it was decided to invite Captain Gordon McCall to attend one of the meetings to discuss this matter. The Road Superintendent informed the Board that the Cemetery Roads are now rea- dy for the State to pave under the off-systems highway a- greement. He said this paving should be done as sodo as;pos. sible because a .long delay would result in a deterioration of the surface because of the traffic. The Chairman re- quested the Attorney to assist in having the DOT commence with this project without fur- ther delay. Sheriff Raymond Lawrence discussed his budget being cut at a meeting he did not attend, after it had been tentatively approved at the meeting of July 27, 1976. He said he was disappointed and surprised at the Board reducing his bud- get in his absence. He re- quested the Board to reconsi- der his budget and restore it just as it was at the time it was tentatively approved. He ex- plained each item in the bud- get. After considerable discus- sion Comm. Whitfield made a motion to reconsider the Sher- iff's budget. This motion died for the lack of a second. Comm. Player said that several counties along the northwest Florida Gulf Coast have recently received dredg- ing permits and told of the projects just completed at Two Mile in Apalachicola and the Panama City Beach re- storation project. He said that is permits can be obtained for these projects, certainly one can be obtained for the Sim- mons Bayou channel. The Board directed the Mosquito Control Department to file an application to clean out this channel. The Board authorized the Public Service Commission to use its meeting room for a public hearing on October 13, 14 and 15, 1976. Comm. Davis told of the need of a caution light for the intersection of SR 386 and SR 71. The Clerk was directed to write a letter to DOT request- ing a traffic device be erected at this location. The Chairman asked what progress has been made on drainage ditch at the Buddy Gay property. The Road Superintendent said that the landowners have refused to give the necessary easements. Comm. Davis said he would assist the Superintendent in securing these easements. The Board then discussed the Butler Bay drainage anid learned that the absence of necessary easements continue to hold up this project. The County Commissioners and the School Board appoint- ed the following Tax Adjust- ment Board: Eldridge Money, Everett Owens, Jr., Otis Davis, Jr., Joseph K. Whit- field and Gene Raffield. The Board discussed Chap- ter 17-7 Part II, Florida Ad- ministrative Code and Chap- ter 403 F.S. as to State Re- sources Recovery and Man- agement program. The Board directed the Mosquito Control Department to continue all present programs and to stay abreast of all rules pertaining to this program. A letter from the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission informed the Board of the regulations which require this Board's concurrence as to traffic regulations in the G. U. Parker, Edward Ball and Gaskin Wildlife Management Areas. The Board decided against making a recommen- dation in this matter. The Road Superintendent reported that maintenance of secondary roads cost $4,826.46 for the month of June and $8,120.24 for July. After a discussion of the property appraisers budget, the Hon. Sammy Patrick, Gulf County Property Appraiser, agreed to a cut of seven percent in his budget from last year's budget. He told the Board he had always operated his office at the lowest possi- ble cost to the county and would agree to this cut-back in order to help the Board keep taxes. as low as possible. * The Board instructed Mr. Thames, Civil Defense Direc- tor to place a hold on surplus equipment needed by the Board. Bank balances as of August 1, 1976 and warrants for bills, presented, examined and ordered paid are on file in the Clerk's office. All payrolls for the month of July were ap- proved as paid. The Clerk reported the amount of fines and bonds collected for the month. There being no further busi- ness the meeting did then ad- journ. -s- Eldridge Money, Chairman Attest: George Y.

Atchison 1309 Woodward Avenue of this city, is registered in the College of Arts and Sciences of the University of the South for the 1976-77 school year. A thousand college students from 40 states have arrived at the mountaintop campus of the Episcopal-owned univer- sity, located between Nash- ville and Chattanooga. The university, popularly known as "Sewanee," is 119 years old and also includes the graduate level School of Theo- logy with 81 students and the preparatory level Sewanee Academy with 172 students. Sewanee has held to its liberal arts origins while keep- ing up to date with computer science, teacher certification, and the newest theories in old subjects like astronomy and historical research. The college has been coedu- cational since 1969, and at present about one-third of the students are women. There are ten social fraternities, several academic and honor fraternities, and 51 other ex- tracurricular organizations to engage the attention of stu- dents in their free time. supply those interested with catalogs and applications.

Cook of Mexico Beach was declared 2nd place winner on .September.10th in the Western Auto "Paint America Beautiful Sweep- stakes." Mr. Cook entered the contest at the Western Auto Associate Store in Port St. Joe. David B. May, owner of the store, has presented Mr. Cook with everything needed to paint his house, including 10 gallons of paint, a 16 foot extension ladder, brushes, and a roller tray set; a value of $145.53. Strange as it may seem, Mr. Cook, and, of course, Mrs. Cook were actually in the process of house painting when notice of the award was received. In fact, they had just completed the cleaning and caulking job and were,actual- ly on their way to purchase paint and a ladder when the award notice arrived. Natu- rally, Mr. May and his West- ern Auto Associate Store got the business. Another, but more remote coincidence came to light when Mr. Cook advised that he was a former employee of the cants' scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and on leadership activities in school and the community. Appli- cants must take the SAT no later than November 6th this year. High school guidance counselors can assist those students interested in regis- tering for the test and this should be done as soon -as possible. Western Auto Supply Compa- ny.

Port St. Joe's Sharks gained their second shut-out of the season here Friday night, defeating the Florida High Demons 12-0, in a defensive battle. The Sharks scored in the first and third periods. One score came on a six yard plunge by Tim Beard and the other from an intercepted pass by Carl Beard. The Sharks allowed the Demons two chances at the ball in the first period before they took over on their own nine yard line with 2:36 left in the opening stanza.

CST 1 drive was sparked by a 30 yard scamper by Terry Larry and Beard's six yard scoring run. Preston Gant's kick for the extra point was delayed slightly by a low snap and was blocked. The Sharks took ex- actly one minute off the clock in their scoring drive. Early in the second period, it looked as if the Sharks were mounting another scoring drive when Gant intercepted a Jeff West pass on the Shark 48, giving the Sharks good field position. But the Sharks elect- ed to punt on a fourth and one situation, giving up the ball. AS THE SECOND HALF opened, Ronnie Garland brought the stands to their feet as he took the Demon kick on his own 24 and scooted down the sidelines for a touchdown. The referee called the play back, however, ruling that Garland's knee touched the ground when he caught the ball. On their next possession the Demons penetrated to the Shark 32 before they came up with a fourth down and nine to go. The Demons tried to fool the Sharks by gambling, but Jody Taylor caught Ben Willis trying to come around end and the Sharks took over on their own 37. THE SECOND SCORE for the Sharks came with 1:34 left in the third period. The situa- tion had the Demons back on their own 38, with a first down after a 15 yard Shark penalty. West faded back to pass and Ray Lawrence bored in and slapped the pass high into the air. When it came down, Carl Beard caught the ball, slipped out of the arms of two tacklers and ran for the touchdown and the Sharks' final score. The Sharks tried to pass for two extra points, but Keith Neel's pass to Preston Gant fell incomplete. THE DEMONS made their deepest penetration and only threat to score late in the fourth period, when they worked the ball to the Shark 19 before Preston Gant inter- cepted a West pass to end the threat. The Demons had the ball on the Shark seven yard line, but a penalty put it back on the 15 before the intercep- tion play. THE SHARKS DEFENSE which held the Wewahitchka Gators to only 98 yards the week before did their thing again against the Demons Friday night. Leading the defense was Curtis Williams, with 12 tack- les and five assists. Williams earned the distinction of being named the Tallahassee Dem- ocrat's "Lineman of the Week" for his Friday night performance. Other defensive standouts were Chester Fennell with nine tackles and four assists, Preston Gant with seven and three and one pass intercep- tion, Jody Taylor with five and seven, Donnell Ghrland with four and five, Keef Pettis with three and five and Wade Stoutamire with five and two.

The Kick-off "Bowden may bring the Seminoles back-but don't expect miracles right away." My goodness, after last week the task seems more improbable than ever. If it happens this week at least it will be against a highly rated team. Course that poses the question-Is Miami that good, or FSU 'that bad? Coach Bowden seems to think the Seminoles were that bad. At any rate we'll certainly get a better idea after this weekend-with Miami going to Colorado and FSU taking on Oklahoma. Both the Big 8 schools would give anybody all they could handle.

THURSDAY, SEPT. 23, 1976 It's Only Your MONEY Trust in the Future By GERALD A. LEWIS Comptroller of Florida the headache of financial upkeep-a service favored by many retirees. For a small fee, which is tax deductible, a retired individual may arrange a trust to manage his or her money, leaving more time for relaxation. Another advantage lies in the fact that should the grantor become disabled, the trustee may take responsibiltiy for bill paying and income tax, in addition to providing protection for the grantor and his family against unsound investment advice. Also, unless stipulated for. tax advantages, the trust agreement may be amended or revoked until the time of the grantor's death. This allows him to watch the trust operate, making certain it meets with his approval. Upon the death of the grantor, the terms of the trust and trust assets are. strictly private. During the time the estate is being. settled, there is very little disruption of cash flow, providing freedom from worry at a time of emotional stress. The families' funds can be handled with capable, understanding efficiency. For more information regarding trust agreements, contact State Comptroller Gerald A. Lewis, The Capitol, Tallahassee 32304. A sensible form of estate planning, a trust agreement, is becoming widely accepted among persons with sub- stantial assets. A trust is an agreement which allows a person to place his "property in safekeeping for the benefit of himself or others. Any trust consists of four elements: :(1) The Grantor, Settlor, or Donor, by whom the trust is established; (2) Trustee-s, a Cor- poration or individual who protects and manages donated property; :(3) Trustee Assets, Property, Principal or Corpus, combined with earnings on the property; (4) Beneficiary (ies) and Remaindermen, the recipients of the trust's in- come and principal. The trust agreement establishes terms under which trust assets are managed and distributed, and earnings accumulated ori paid out. Since those terms must be in keeping With the desires of all of the parties to the trust, an at- tarney experienced in trust agreements, as well as your bank's trust officer, should draft and review the agreement. :Establishing a trust agreement carries many advantages.

WEWAHITCHKA STATE BANK Dyer, Lister, On Committee Jack Dyer and Roy Lister, of Wewahitchka, have been named to the North Florida Agricultural Committee for Lawton Chiles. Dyer and Lister join 34 other North Florida agri-business- men on the committee which is playing an important rol3 in the re-election campaign of Senator Chiles. "I am very happy Mr. Dyer and Mr. Lister have accepted my invitation to be on this committee and I look forward to working with them in this most important area," Chiles said. Chiles is a member of the Senate Appropriations Com- mittee's Subcommittee on Ag- riculture. The senator has imposed a ten dollar per person limit on contributions to his re-election campaign to enable each per- son to have an equal share in the United States Senate office and the North Florida Agricul- tural Committee is helping with that fund raising. "Since his election to the United States Senate Lawton Chiles has proven himself a friend of agriculture. He has always been interested in our problems and worked hard to resolve them. It is important for Florida agriculture that we have a man in Washington with the experience and abili- ty to get things done," the committee stated in a recent letter. "In his first six years Law- ton Chiles has built a solid record on agriculture in the United States Senate. Whether it's OSHA (Occupational Safe- ty and Health Administration) reform or limiting beef im- ports; maintaining the tobac- co program on reforming the estate tax; funding the fire ant program or enlarging the Florida staff of the Farmers Home Administration, Sena- tor Chiles has been out in the front working for the Florida farmer," the committee said.

ITS YOUR SENATE WITH TRAVS SiARCHAN T Paid Political Advertisements; Paid for by Campaign Treasurer TRAVIS MERCHANT WILL REPRESENT ALL OF N.W. FLORIDA A NATIVE SON Travis Marchant has close family ties throughout the Panhandle-from the west to the east. Travis Marchant is one of eight children born to Mrs. Tinnie Marchant and the late D.A. Marchant of Chipley, Florida. He spent his first 24 years growing up in Chipley and working in the family grocery in Washington County. A football standout, he graduated from Chipley High School and went to work on a surveying crew for the Department of Transportation's Regional Head- quarters in Chipley. Travis later travelled to Tallahassee where he grad- uated from Tallahassee Community College and Florida State University, studying in Government and Planning, subjects he has since put to great practical use. Travis is married to the former-.Kathy Sdhneider, a native of Panama City, whose family still reside in Bay County. The Marchants have two little girls: Michelle, 5 and Brady, 21/2. A DEDICATED, HARD-WORKER An "unknown" to local politics, Travis Marchant ran for the Leon County Commission in 1972 against a long- time incumbent and amassed the second-largest vote any elected official had ever received in that county. Characterized as being honest & outspoken in the public's behalf, he was elected by his fellow Commis- sioners as Chairman in 1975. During his Chairmanship he was able to fulfill his promise of decreasing the tax rate while improving services to the public through in- creasing efficiency and eliminating waste. A MAN WHO BELIEVES IN THE PEOPLE His motto when he ran successfully for the County Commission remains his motto today: "When you talk, I will listen with understanding and act in your behalf." He has made a firm pledge to visit each of the counties in the district on a regular basis, with prior notification, to discuss the needs and problems of the citizens in the district. What this district needs is a Senator for four years-not a Senator once every four years.

South boundary of Section 14, Township 9 South, Range 11 West, at its intersection with the mean Doe Deer Are Illegal Game On Reserves Doe deer are not legal game for archers on Florida's Wild- life Management Areas. Game and Fish Commission Regional Manager, T.L. Gar- rison, today cautioned pan- handle sportsmen that despite confusion in printed informa- tion, doe deer were legal only to archery hunters on open lands. Garrison pointed out that there was some confusion due to the wording in literature available to the public by the Commission. This year the key phrase which stipulated that only buck deer could be harvested on management areas was omitted. "Howe- ver," he said, "the basis in law is on the certified regula- tions which were approved by our board of Commissioners and which are recorded with the Secretary of State's office. The regulation governing the subject states: 'Legal game' as specified by regula- tions for any wildlife manage- ment area shall be deer (having one or more antlers at least five inches in length-."

McNeill -s- Donald:Britt Pickett 4t 9-23 gulations specify deer of ei- ther sex except spotted fawn. In explaining the philosophy- for the difference in legal game on and off management areas, Garrison pointed out these key facts. "Initially there are not that many people participating in archery hunts. The number of sports- men is very low in relation to the available game. Secondly, the success ratio of archers is considerably lower than with regular hunting. Because of this, we do not feel that the small number of doe deer which may be harvested will have any effect on the deer population. On management areas, however, you have a different situation. Because of a scar- city of open lands and Flor- ida's strict trespass statutes, there is a much higher deer harvest. Under this circum- stance, we are reluctant to permit the harvesting of doe deer because the numbers taken could be damaging to the herd on.specific areas. Florida's 1976 archery season opened statewide on Septem- ber 4th and runs through September 26th. A valid hunt- ing license as well as an archery permit is required to hunt on wildlife management areas during this period. Airman Branch On Carrier Navy Airman Curtis L.

He said this involved, "First, to maintain and in- crease agriculture production here and second, to remain vigilant about the conditions of Florida's resources. During the actual meeting itself the district supervisors passed several resolutions - which could have far-reaching results. They asked the Florida le- gislature to exempt elected soil and water conservation district supervisors from fi- nancial disclosure require- ments since the positions were not salaried.

Davis told the group of Soil and Water Conservation Dis- trict supervisors that "Flori- da's attention to agriculture in -its comprehensive plan indi- cates some real foresight, and I hope that you act as strongly to help implement it as you have to draft it." Because loss of farmlands in Florida have not been as extensive as in other parts of the country, Davis sees the 1 NO LIMITS, NO GIMMICKS, JUST GOOD PORTRAITS 10-1, 2-5 ' AA AA -^^ ^^ -^. ^^^ ^t^ ^^ ^^> .^ creased the budgetary allot- ment for the combined fede- ral-state accelerated soil sur- vey program as originally planned.

IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the Great Seal of the State of Florida at Tallahassee, The Capital, this the 19 day of August, A.D., 1976. -s- BRUCE A. SMATHERS, SECRETARY OF STATE (SEAL) 2t 8-26 "Division of Forestry dispatchers Lee Goodwin and Ralph Williams make daily fire weather observations." -Forestry Photo 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 allow 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. Double up, America. AEDICAL 0 MESSAGE from the FloridaDoctors 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 ,ca 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 a medical message from the Florida Medical Association in behalf ofthe doctors of Florida and a public service of this newspaper. I |
