County Pledges Support .. .Ml. * Last Minute Deal Keeps ER Open - . . .. ---- Last minute negotiations last Wed- nesday night' between- the Municipal Hospital Board and the County Commis- sion short-stopped-plans by the hospital to close its emergency room after local doctors said they.could no longer cover the medical service of the facility. The only solution to the problem was to hire emergency room'doctris or close the service'. Since the Hospital nor the City had the estimated funds to hire f doctors, the choice of alternatives was from slim to none. Approaching the County Commission -for-help in financing special doctors for emergency room service was the last - resort . S80.000 PROBLEM In the Wednesday meeting, hospital board chairman Gerald Sullivan pointed out the problem to the County Commis- sioners, stating, it was estimated that approximately $80,000 would be needed' to keep the ER open the remainder of the. year. "Tha's admittedly an outside figure", Sullivan said, "but it's easier to ,plan to need to spend that much and not have to do so". Sullivan asked the County commission to underwrite half the estimated expenditures and plan to help the City in the future year with the emergency room financing. Sullivan pointed out that after a short while the ER service. may begin to pay for itself. He pointed out that already there is some revenue from thishacility which will be applied to the operating expenses. Sullivan pointed out, "We have a good hospital, well equipped, getting better, and we want to keep it in this trend. It is just a short while before people will not have to go out of town to get hospital service." "DON'T HAVE THE MONEY" County Chairman Everett Owens, Jr., pointed out to Sullivan that the Board was sympathetic to the hospital predic- ament and wanted to help, "But we just don't have the;'money and won't have until our new budget year which begins in October. We didn't budget for this and other emergency needs has taken our' reserve'., he stated. Sullivan countered that the City in the same position financially. "This thing came up on us in February in the middle of our budget year and we just --can't pull this.kind of money out of the air. If'we could, we wouldn't ask for your help." Commissioner Billy Branch asked:. 'Doctor Wayne Hendrix and Dr. Joe H endrix, both present 'at the meeting, "What's the best solution to this prob- lem?" SDr. Wayne Hendrix replied, "A paid emergency room service is the only answer. It has to be paid for and that's it." ' The County Commissioners then began to figure among themselves reminding each other that their Revente Sharing funds were committed, the Road Department needed trucks, a hefty expenditure for improved garbage dispo- sal was staring the county in the face, and much of the reserves had been committed to replace an $80,000 piece of equipment which burned recently. What it all wound down to was that the County Board finally agreed to pledge backing for $5,000 each month with the City pledging an equal amount. Pledged funds would be used only in in- stances where emergency room charges didn't meet the expenses and only. for ER service. In addition, the County would receive monthly reports of the service and have a representative on the governing board overseeing ER opera- tions. Since the Wednesday meeting, Hos- pital Administrator, David Dunham has contracted with physicians at Tyndall Air Force Base and made arrangements for coverage of the local emergency room until a permanent man can be employed to live in the community and devote his entire time to the emergency room. It was agreed to by both parties in :-their conference that outside contract doctors would not be employed on a permanent basis. The thinking is to hire a man to live here and perform the needed service. The Tyndall doctors will report for duty within a week or ten days, as soon as mal-practice insurance can be arranged for. LOCAL DOCTORS'COVERING In the meantime, local doctors are continuing to cover the emergency room until the specialists arrive on the job. Until the permanent man is' found and hired, the Tyndal doctors will cover full time on week ends from Friday afternoon to Monday morning with round-the-clock service, with local doc- tors sharing the duties during the week. Dunham said, that although he couldn't be sure it would work out that way, with negotiations underway last week, the emergency room was never closed. "This is abig financial undertak- ing for the hospital", he said, "But we're going to have better medical service than ever before and should equal that available anywhere in this part of the state". Hospital personnel Jim Gregg and Mrs. Rick Lamberson prepare to move a patient out of the emergency room after, treatment. Rish Wins Morris Award Port St. Joe's Billy Joe Rish, a member of the Florida Legislature, was signally hon- ored by his colleagues in the Legislature on the opening day Tuesday morning. Rish was selected by his colleagues award for his skill in debate. as their choice for the coveted Allen Morris Award for his Three Allen Morris Awards performance in the 1976 ses- are given each year for de- sion. bate, overall performance and Rish was presented the committee work. Scouts Want A Better Place to Call Home Adult Scouters in Port St. Joe continue to be concerned over an adequate meeting place to serve all phases of cern to the City Commission appeared before the Board re- Scouting activities in the com- Tuesday night. Approximately questing the City's aid in munity and brought their con-, a dozen adults and Scouts securing adequate meeting facilities. Perry McFarland, acting as spokesman for the group, This rickety, old. floating bridge at Overstreet may well be one of the last of its kind in the state of Florida. DOT officials announced that the bridge will be replaced by a new s .: high-rise bridge. -Star photo . r4 pointed to the present condi- tion of the aging Scout build- ing on 10th Street, stating that it needed extensive repairs or a new building to replace it. The Scouters are thinking along the lines of getting a building which will serve Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and Cub Scouts, with storage facilities for the equipment of all three youth operations. McFarland told the Com- mission, "You told us in December that perhaps some federal funds would be avail- able for a new Scout home in a couple of months and we understand the grant request was denied. We have strug- gled through a hard winter in the old building which is an eyesore to the vicinity in addition to being inadequate to serve the needs of Scouting in Port St. Joe". Mayor Frank Pate told Mc- Farland that the Commission had discussed the matter and offered a portion of the Cen- tennial Building as temporary quarters for Scouting until a permanent home can be ar- ranged for. The Mayor sug- gested the needs of Scouting may be better served with a joint community effort in building a new Scout building with the City helping out in any way it could. McFarland said his esti- mate was that it would take a building of some 2,500 square feet to meet the needs which exist. He pointed out that only half of the present building was useable at the present time. SThe Commission pledged to help McFarland contact all civic organizations and enlist their aid in the project. EPA LOSES RECORDS City attorney William J. Rish reported to the Commis- sion Tuesday night on his recent trip to Atlanta, Geor- gia, to make final prepara- tions with the Environmental Protection Agency for the City to receive a federal grant on the construction of the Waste- water Treatment Plant, which was promised prior to begin- ning construction and which has not yet been received. Recently, the Commission met with EPA to discuss the matter and received a prom- ise from the federal agency that the money would be forwarded to the City within a matter of weeks. Rish's visit with the EPA was a follow-up to see why the money was being delayed. Rish reported Tuesday night that EPA had lost much of the paper work pertaining to the (Continued on Page 6) -Star photo Charge Filed by Sheriff Charles Edward Pittman,: age 23, of North Port St. Joe,. was arrested by Deputy Ar- nold Tolliver, Saturday, April 2, on a warrant charging Pitt- man with burglary of Allen's Cafe, 101 Main Street.

The Spring holiday comes in the midst of the season.of the miracle of birth and re-birth following a long -period of dormancy and regression. Recently, we heard a preacher ask the question of his congregation, ._What do you think was the greatest miracle of Jesus Christ?" To some, one of the greatest miracles was healing a blind man with a handful of mud mixed with spit. There have not been many men to do this either before or after Christ, so this could be termed a great miracle. Then there was the time He healed a lame man by merely telling him to get up and walk. Again, the men through- out history who have accomplished this feat are missing. There are a host of people who ,- will give you a stiff argument about the feat of Christ, when he walked up to Lazarus' tomb and said, "Laza- rus, come forth!" When Lazarus, who had been dead long enough to be stinking, came forth from the tomb, that had to be the show stopper of that season in the land of the Jews. Nobody can lay claim to having pulled off a miracle such as this. Raising men from the dead has to be in the running for the title of "miracle of the age". In our opinion, Jesus' ability to raise men from the dead was only a sort of side effect tofhe real miracle. The first four books of the New Testament tell us about what we believe is the greatest miracle-the miracle of providing salvation for sinful man. As we say, some other man in history may have made a blind man see; he may have made a cripple walk; but we haven't heard or read about it. Someday, a man may be brought back from the dead, even after he has started stinking. The Bible tells us, though, and we believe it, when it says, "No man cometh unto the father but by me". There will be no other man by which this may be accomplished. One way and one way only for a man to be in the family of God. One way makes it a miracle. Since man's only hope for the hereafter is to be in the family of God, then Jesus' sacrifice, noted on Easter morning, is the most important miracle for man ever performed. Biggest Complaint What would you think was the biggest complaint of people here in Port St. Joe? Taxes? Condition of roads? Sidewalks and the lack of :them? Utility rates? Speeding? SCrime? If you thought the biggest complaint was one of these or numerous others, you would prob- ably be wrong. The biggest complaint we hear from the people of Port St. Joe is the number of roaming dogs which travel the city streets, get in yards, bite children and adults, alike., The City does -have a dog catcher who works at this duty part Time. In a City the size of Port St. Joe, we shouldn't need a dog catcher. Most of us know everyone so well, we even know who owns the dogs which roam our various neigh- borhoods. Too, those who own the dogs can't help but know when their pet is a nuisance or is biting other people. Since the situation is as it is, the people who own the dogs should keep them up or get rid of them if they are a nuisance or a danger. That's how we feel about it. As we said, the City has a part time dog catcher. Even so, he can't be everywhere at all times, so, as a consequence, he can't pick up all the dogs which are causing problems. Too, he is governed by very strict guidelines as to what conditions must prevail before he can pick up a dog. Even when conditions are right, most dogs don't want to be picked up and many can successfully evade the dog catcher. Most dogs will go to their masters, and their masters should take the initiative without causing the hard feelings of having their dogs picked up and impounded. We are forever griping about government messing into our pri- vate affairs. This is one way we can keep government out of our affairs by policing our roaming dogs our- selves. This would also be doing a favor for our neighbors.

Continue to remember us in your prayers and were hope- ful to be back before you have time to realize we are gone. everything and God bless you all. Clara.& Abe Miller March 31, 1977 Editor: The Star Port St. Joe, Florida This is in reply to the editor- ial of Thursday, March 17, 1977. From the article it seems 'that is the writer's opinion that grants are just sent down to be divided and split up at the discretion of the North- west Florida Planning and Advisory Council. This is very deceiving First, if Gulf, Wal- ton or Bay County made appli- cation and it is approved or funded, there is no way any other county can use up those funds and stay legally within the guide lines of the Federal .agencies. It should also be pointed out that the service of NWFPA are not free and that they failed to obtain any of the public works monies for any of the member counties while our neighbors applied for themselves on either side of the planning district and were funded.

We Goofed Last week, in Letters to the Editor, the typesetter man- aged to gum up the, mean- ing of one paragraph of Ralph Kimmell's letter. The para- graph should have read "... Oh they could, no doubt, have a Government Inspector call- ed in to investigate misuse of Government Surplus Mater- ial, as was done here,-but would he write us a letter verifying that misappropria- tion or misuse of the material could NOT be found-as was done here?" Inadvertently, the typeset- ter left out the word not. Our apologies, Mr. Kimmell. ought to take into considera- tion events that have and are pertaining to the NWFPA: It is wonderful that in our great state that local govern- ments are still able to rid itself of parasitic agencies. I have confidence in The Star and depend on the unquestionable intelligence of the good people of Gulf County to look and investigate both sides, and I believe they will agree and support their elected officials and not people they cannot control at the polls. Sincerely yours, Lloyd Weeks, Chairman Board of County Commission- ers, Walton County. (Ed Note-Mr. Weeks, ap- parently you didn't read our editorial as closely as you think. Our entire editorial comment concerning NWF- PAC was in the light of Gulf County getting the best deal out of whichever association it "How Long Can We Pay Our Present Tax" :'PAGE TWO e is risen ...alleluia! ETAOIN SHRDLU By WESLEY R. RAMSEY Three of our five local doctors have quit delivering babies due to the fact they can no longer physically take the exertion of having to stay up half the night delivering babies and then be expected to be fresh and chipper at their regular office hours the next day. They don't admit to being over the hill, but they can at least see the top coming into sight. The last of these three doctors to quit delivering babies was Dr. Wayne Hendrix, who delivered his last baby last week. The word we get is that the baby delivered last week was number 2,700 Dr. Wayne has brought into the world during his 28 years of practice here in Port St. Joe. That figures out to an average of nearly 100 a year, or one every three nights. I can see where the practice would take the steam out of somebody who was no longer in the early blush of life. I've got part of my "farm" in the ground. Last week I planted seven tomato plants and they are doing well. In years past, I have planted all my tomatoes at the same time and when and if they bore fruit, I had tomatoes running out my ears for two or three weeks, then, nothing. This year, I'm doing it a little differently. I have planted the seven plants. In a few more weeks, I will plant six or seven more. Then a few weeks later, I will plant some more. That way, I should have fresh tomatoes on the table for several months rather than several weeks. The word I get from the local grocers is that tomatoes are now around 89c a pound. By the time mine come in, they will probably be down around 29c or 39c. Mine will still taste better, though. And if you want to save money on food, plant bell peppers. Whether you like them or not, plant bell peppers. You'llsave a bundle. I understand bell peppers are now over a $1.00 a pound. As I say, maybe yqu don't like bell peppers, joined and we continue to stand by this position. However, if we read be- tween the lines of your letter correctly, you are quitting NWFPAC because they failed to get you a Block Grant recently in the public works money release by the Gov- ernment. We're not altogether ignorant of what's happening. For instance, we happen to know this public work money release came up suddenly and only those who had finished plans for some project could apply. We also know that only Pensacola and Tallahassee, in that area north of Gainesville, received any of these funds, and they received only a pittance of what they asked for. In all fairness, NWFPAC \can't be responsible for all that. NWFPAC has always come up with what Gulf County and its cities have asked for in the past. Of coursiK they haven't asked for too much. We try to maintain some se nblance of indepen- dence in Gulf County. Again, let us say we know how NWFPAC operates. We know'how the funds are hand- ed out and collected. We have criticized them in the past. But we are not going to sit here and say a new organiza- tion, which hAsn't even been formed as yej, will operate any better in Ahe interest of Gulf County without first wit- nessing its performance.! If Walton County chooses to buy a pig in a poke" that's Walton County's business.) but you should plant them and grow some just to ,,. save allthat money. .... You know that if they continue at the rate of $1.00 a pound or over, you will get to where you can't do without a big, juicy bell pepper occasionally. Remember coffee and what its increase in price did for you. I told you the other week that I had a permanent case of spring fever, so I'm not bothered with it climbing on my back during the fine spring days we have been having lately. The problem I have in the springtime-and a problem I don't try to fight too hard-is the onslaught of a fever to go to Lake Wimico and catch a mess of bass and shellcrackers. The annual addiction became more than I could bear last week, so I took off to Lake Wimico with my dad and number two son and we caught up a mess of bass and shellcracker... and bream and stumpknockers. I'm not going to tell you we caught an icebox full, or even that we caught all we wanted to. We did have a good time and caught a sufficiency of the finned creatures to make the skillet stink. And I got a slight case of the sunburn thrown into the deal for no extra effort on my part. A trip to Lake Wimico can cure an awful lot \ of telephone ringing and requests to come do this or go do that. I saw a headline in one of the area dailies the & other day which said, "Get Ready To Pay Higher Taxes". The story was about current rumors that the Governor wants higher taxes and several powerful members of the Legislature, including our own Billy Joe Rish, are determined that taxes will not be raised. Whether taxes are raised or not, I can't figure out how a fellow gets ready for higher taxes. I can get ready to eat a meal, go somewhere, do a job, take a snooze, take a bath or go to bed, but I haven't figured out to this day how I can get ready to pay more taxes. Possibly the reason for this difficulty is that I don't particularly want to pay higher taxes. I have an inborn seventh sense that taxes are high enough and it could just be that I don't want to get ready to pay more and this is the reason I. can't get ready. Do you reckon there's anything to that reasoning? I guess I have a dirty mind. I saw in the papers the other day where a high court ruled that naked dancing could continue in Miami night clubs if the naked dancing was to display an art and not just another suggestive display of the female form to titillate the male senses. I guess I have a dirty mind, since I can't imagine myself or any other male looking ata a naked female squirming around and exclaiming over the "art" of the situation. State's Attorney Leo Jones asked the Rotary Club the question last Thursday, "How long can we pay the taxes we're paying". Jones then launched into an attack of government opera- tions, claiming that taxes were climbing each and every year because of the duplica- tion of services by several agencies. Jones, a former legislator, pointed out that Florida's budget has jumped from $1 billion every two years when the state had four million people to nearly $5.2 billion each year now that the state has only eight million people. "In other words, the popula- tion has doubled and the budget on a per capital basis has gone up more than 10 times",.the speaker said. In an example of what he was talking about, Jones re- ferred to his own involvement, the law enforcement agency. He pointed out that there were 21 separate, tax-supported law enforcement agencies in his six county district, all with over-lapping responsibilities. He pointed out that in many cases the separate law en- forcement agencies will com- pete with each other on the same case, withholding evi- dence and information from each other, trying to solve a particular crime on their own for the publicity. "This is a waste of money", Jones said. In another area, the speaker pointed to the juvenile offender office. "They used to have two members on their staff, now their staff is larger than the State's Attorney's office, which is also too large". Jones pointed out that in small Gulf County, there are two full time and one part time juvenile officer operat- ing, performing duties, local police or Sheriff's officers could be doing. Jones summed up his ex- ample by stating, "We don't need any more money in law enforcement, we need to abol- ish some of the agencies apd spread the money out among those which are left. There are so many of us now that we're running over each other". Jones then emphatically stated that all other agencies of the state were in the same shape. "I only used law en- forcement as an example because I happen .to know a little about it. Other agencies , are just as over-staffed and have over-lapping duties with each other to the point where hardly anybody still remem- bers what he was hired for". , GARC Meets Today at 7 There will be a general meeting of the GARC this Thursday, April 7, at seven .p.m. The meeting will be held at 113 Main St. Everyone is invited to attend. ,Christians Observing A Miracle THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla.

He came to Port St; Joe with his family in 1919 when his father purchased the small ice plant located here, which he later enlarged. As a lad, ,- Jimmie assisted his father in the ice and fish business. He attended the Port St. Joe schools. From the mid 1920's through the early 1930's, he made quite a name for himself 'as a member of the Port St. Joe baseball team. He could either play short stop or first base as the need arose. In this era, baseball was a little more than a sport and was followed by the majority of the commun- ity with fierce pride and loyalty. An intense rivalry existed between Port St. Joe and Apalachicola. In addition to Kilbourn, these local events produced players in Port St. Joe such-as H. A. Drake, George West and Chalk Mc- Keithen, and in Apalachicola, Foots Nedley, Willie Fred Randolph and Rodman, Richard and Ned Porter.

OWNER NOTIFIED Two months ago, the owners of the burned out service station property at the corner of Highway 98 and Third Street had been notified to remove the debris from the premises. The Board had been notified by the owner that he had secured a person to clean up the debris and it would be removed in a short while. To date, not much progress has been made on the clean-up, so Tuesday night, Commissioner Wesley R. Ramsey made a motion that the ordinance governing this situation be applied against the property owner. Attorney William J. Rish advised the Commission-that the Ordinance provides that the property owner must be given 30 days notice to clean up the debris and a daily fine can be levied after the 30 days has passed if it is not done. He said that after a second 30 day period, with daily fines being levied, the City can clean the property and bill the property owner.

This is the beginning of a program to fertilize 20,000 acres during 1977. They contemplate so treating even larger acreage in future years. They were key participants, with me in Gulf County Exten- sion Service, in establishing field test demonstrations to develop this practice and determine its feasibility. They are aerial spreading 200 pounds of triple phosphate (0-46-0) per acre. This will cause these pine trees (even. older water-stunted stems) to economically produce wood on wet lands that otherwise, by nature, would not do so. I am grateful for the privi- lege of recognizing the value of this practice of fertilizing slash pines back in the year 1949 and also for the oppor- tunity to help develop it. St. Joe Paper Co. employees are to be commended for working with this and for their interest in it. Officials of the company deserve credit for recognizing its value and for adopting it for use. Employees of the University of Florida and members of the Cooperative Research in. Forest Fertilization (CRIFF) have given valuable service in developing this practice. Get Rid of That Junk!

Core, Clerk and in some cases contribute to allergies and poisonings. Weeds compete with all de- sirable plants for water, nut- rients and sunlight. They also harbor insects and diseases that might attack lawngrass- es, trees and shrubs. Lawns Which are properly maintained are less apt to be plagued with weeds. A vigor- ous growing lawn provides little area for weed seed to germinate and will usually smother out those that do ger- minate. The use of chemicals to control weeds in parks, re- creational and public areas is a relatively common practice. Herbicides (weed-killers) are rapidly being accepted and there are chemicals available to control broadleaf weeds and grasses in lawngrasses, around trees, ornamental plants, along ditches and fence lines, in areas difficult to maintain with mechanical equipment and in annual flo- wering plant beds. Before one can effectively control weeds and grasses he must first be able to recognize his weed problem. Weeds can be classified into three broad categories. First, there are the annuals which complete their life cycle in less than one year, and they are usually easiest to control. There are the summer annuals, such as crabgrass, goosegrass and pigweed. A few common win- ter annuals are Poa annua, common chickweed and henbit. The second category is the biennials, which require more than one year, but less than two years, to complete a life cycle. Wild carrot and bull thistle are examples of this group. The third and most difficult group to control are the peren- nials. They live for more than two years and may possibly last indefinitely. Perennials are classified according to their method of reproduction. There are two types, the simple and the creeping perennials. Simple perennials reproduce by seed only and examples are dande- lion, dock, broadleaf plantain and poke weed. Creeping per- ennials reproduce by both seed and vegetative parts and are the most troublesome to control. Examples of this group are wild strawberry, mouse-ear chickweed, ground ivy, bermudagrass, nutgrass and johnsongrass. Open 8 AM to 7 PM, Mon.- Sat.

Both pre- emergence and post-emer- gence herbicides, in combin- ation with mechanical equip- ment, are needed for a good weed control program. Ask your local county agent about the proper chemicals to use on specific weeds. Calibration of equipment is an important part of any herbicide application. This is simply making the necessary adjustments to the sprayer so that the proper amount of chemical will be applied to a specific area. Regardless of the herbicide used, care should be exercised and the chemical must. be applied in accordance with in- structions on manufacturer's label. Also be sure that the herbicide you buy states on the label that it can be used on your particular lawngrass, Using the incorrect herbicide on your lawn can seriously, damage it.

O. Box 602, Hiway 90 West DeFuniak Springs Across from the Airport We Cash Payroll Checks The Internal Revenue Ser- vice reported that the change in the tax law which benefits nearly every taxpayer is also the one causing the most difficulty for Floridians on their 1976 income tax returns. This item, according to IRS Florida District Director, Charles 0. DeWitt, is the new general tax credit which has replaced last year's $30 per- sonal exemption credit. "The first one million returns pro- cessed from Florida showed more than 40,000 taxpayers computing the credit incor- rectly," according to Mr. De- Witt. The new credit is the great- er of two percent of the first $9,000 of taxable income to a maximum of $180 or $35 per exemption other than those for age and blindness. Married persons filing separate re- turns are limited to a maxi- mum of $90 when using the two percent method and both must use the same method to claim the credit. Mr. DeWitt urged taxpayers to compute the credit both ways to see which method gives them the greater bene- fit. For example, a married couple with four children and taxable income of $12,000 would be entitled to a general Featuring Quality Products at Lowest Cost tax credit of $180 using the two percent formula. However, at the rate of $35 for each exemp- tion the taxpayers would have a larger credit of $210 (6 x $35 equals $210). Single taxpayers also should compute the general tax credit both ways to see which gives them the greater bene- fit. Generally the two percent formula is most advantageous for them.

King, Jr. The responsibility of 65 personnel plus nearly 1/2 mil- lion acres of forest woods- lands solely rests upon his shoulders, and now after 12 years in the Division of Fores- try, King plans to retire ef- fective April 1. He was born in Concord, N.C., the son of Dr. and Mrs. R. M. King, Sr. Completing high school in 1938, he attend- ed North Carolina State Uni- versity\receiving his Masters of Science degree in forestry. After a short tour with the National Park Service, King enlisted in the U. S. Army as a lieutenant, where he served as Europe as Battalion Adjutant for the 30th Infantry Division and in Korea as Operations Officer in the Army security unit. In 1962, King, then Lt. Col., retired from the Army .6-4fteri20 years service at Ft. Huachua, Arizona. King, his wife Myrtle, daughter Mary and son Morri- son, diligently sought a place to "retire and live a little". They chose the small north- west Florida community of Panama City, a place which neither had heard of, much less seen. The family chose Panama City and Bay County simply because "on the map, it looked like a nice place to live". In 1962, during King's "re- tire and live a little",. he accepted a part-time job as a substitute teacher at Everitt Junior High School, then a short while later the family moved to Gainesville where King attended the University of Florida for one year. After that he taught Basic Forestry for seven months at the Lake City Community College- Forest Rangers School. State Forestry officials were so im- pressed with King's work at the Lake City College that he was offered a position as In- formation and Education For- ester in the Division of For- estry in Panama City. Wife Myrtle, still not quite unpacked for the 20-year Army trip, grabbed Mary and Morrison and back to Panama City they came. SKing served as I&E Fores- ter for a 10-county area until 1971 when again, because of his excellent ability, hard work, and determination, he was promoted to Chief Fores- ter in the Panama City area where he now plans to re- tire (again?) When asked about his future plans Dick King replied, "Boys, I'm gonna retire and live a little!"
