Boy Scouts Receive 35th Charter


Port St. Joe's Boy and Cub
Scout Troops, number 47 re-
ceived their 35th annual re-
newal of their charters last
Thursday, as area profes-
sional scoUters from the Lake
Sands District presented the
charters to the Rotary Club,
the sponsoring organization.
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.

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:

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

tion approved Tuesday night
and enlarging and improving

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."

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

Dear Editor:
:I would like to leave this

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.

At a dock warming you warm a dock,
just like you warm a house at a house

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

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.

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

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.

several toilets to run over and flood the rest room
floors.
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.

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.

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.

Taxpayers!

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.

HERMAN


Your School Board Met


Words cannot adequately express my
appreciation for your vote of confidence on
September 7. 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. Based on

Accreditat



The accreditation of our schools is an
important issue in the election of your
School Superintendent. 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."


These are the FACTS on
accreditation.

Don't be misled.

No Butts, It's A Goat Show


They're cheaper, faster and
have a higher output than
their closest competitor.
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).

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 Chairman announced to
the employees that the Board
had unanimously voted to give Does the candid
the employees a $416.00 a year
pay raise, which amounted to secondary sc
20 cents per hour. He said this
was all the Board could do in
light of the anticipated tax
hike facing the Board. The
employees stated this was not
enough as all of the costs had
increased just like the Board's Does the candid
and they needed more moneycan i
just to keep up with the cost of in Florida pul
living. After a long discussion,
the Board again unanimously
voted to give the employees a
$416.00 per year pay increase.
The Board then began dis-
cussing budgets and made the

taxpayers. After lengthy dis-
cussion, it was decided that
the Architect hold up on these
plans, to allow the Board to
meet with the Library Com-
mittee and the Northwest
Florida Library in an effort to

Gulf County Commission Minutes


Pursuant to notice published
according to law for the
Board's consideration, to
issue a dredge and fill permit
to the State of Florida, the
Chairman called for com-
plaints from the public. 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.

son of Mrs. Jean A. 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

Harry C
Harry F. 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.

ny. Some fifty years ago,
while a high school student, in
St. Paul, Minnesota, Mr. Cook
worked as a part time stock


(


boy in the Mail Order De-
partment of the St. Paul store.
.-He recalls that his pay was not
more than the going rate of
twenty five cents per hour.


Mr. Cook feels that in win-
ning this, his first major prize
.ina contest, justice, at long
last, has prevailed.

Sharks Shut Out Florida High



Demons, 12-0 In Friday Action


Terry Larry takes off on 30-yard scamper.


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. A Demon
penalty and three plays later
and Tim Beard scooted into
the end zone. The leap-frog

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.

FRIDAY NIGHT
Friday night, the Sharks
take to the road for the first
time this season and travel to
Perry to meet the Taylor


County Bulldogs. The Sharks
have treated the Bulldogs
shabbily for the past several
years and will probably meet
a tough battle tomorrow night.


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.

The Gators have played one good, one bad. They
should take Mississippi State, but the Bulldogs have
always given them problems. So this could be an upset.

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.

agreement carries many
advantages. It can eliminate

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.

A Barron's campaign report reads like a "Who's Who" or
"What's What" of special interest groups and businesses.
Eight contributors, including financier Edward Ball, donated
$1,000 each to the Barron campaign in the last reporting
period. The Florida Medical Political Action Committee (PAC)
gave $1,040.
Others in the $1,000 club are Hill-Kelly Dodge, Pensacola;
Gulf Breeze accountant R. Pierre Brown; Florida Rock Indus-

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.

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-."
The only exception to this
ruling are archery hunts con-
ducted on Eglin Air Force
Base and on St. Vincents
Island National Refuge where

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.

They expressed concern that
much usable land in Florida is

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.

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.
