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.

Scouts Want A Better Place to Call Home


Adult Scouters in Port St.

over an adequate meeting

Scouting activities in the com- Tuesday night. Approximately questing the City's aid in

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

DITR RIALS:
sm.......


Sunday is Easter Sunday to
Christians throughout the world.
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.

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.

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". ,

Jimmie Kilbourn was born
in Carrabelle, April 16, 1907.
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.
He was engineer for 12 years
on the Florida Menhaden
Company's boat, the "Novia."
This company operated six
boats during its existence, the
SAlexis I. duPont and the Novia
among the earliest. Other
boats of the fleet were the
Connible, the M. M. Marks,
the Nellie P. Deyer, and the
King Fisher. Captain Robert
Tapper was part owner of the
company, and fleet captain,
Robert Bellows was also a
part owner and superintend-
ent. The Novia was beached
on St. Joseph's Peninsula and
lost in the hurricane of 1939,

Card of Thanks


On February 22, Dr. P. V.
Poonai operated on my left
hand. On March 12 he oper-
.ated on my abdomen. These
were my seventh and eighths
operations in seven different"
hospitals 'in: six .different
states. Never before did I have
'as conscious and friendly a
.doctor. the same is true about
,all the nurses and those work-
ing with them in that area. All


of them were really wonderful
to me which made me feel
good there.
Other things that were so.
good for, me was the many
lovely 'get well cards, the
'pretty flowers received and
many, many people visiting
me. This made my 29 days of
34 there much easier than
expected. Thanks, 'thanks to
all these people.

Careful
From the American Medical
Association
Are the bugs eating up your
garden?
Most insects can be knocked
out with sprays, powders and
other poisons, but the unwary
gardener sometimes can suf-
fer from the effects of the bug
sprays too. '
Some tips on use of insect:
cides are offered by the Amer-
ican Medical Association.
-Read the directions on the
container carefully-and fol-
low them. The manufacturer
spells out the proper usage
and safety precautions.
-If the directions call for
rubber gloves, protective
clothing or goggles, leave
this one for the experts and
use a less potent poison.
-Store the insecticide in its
original container, with origi-
nal label, in a safe, locked
compartment, away from
children and pets.
-Destroy empty containers
immediately.
-Apply downwind, to avoid
inhaling sprays and dusts.
Stay out of freshly sprayed
areas the rest of the day.
-Do not smoke while spray-
ing or dusting. Some of the
chemicals are flammable.
And you might inhale poisons
along with the smoke.
-If chemicals are spilled on
the skin, wash immediately
and thoroughly.


Fast and friendly prescription service is always

other copy of various docu-
ments, invoices, contracts,
etc., before the grant could
finally be forwarded to the
City.
The Commission agreed
Tuesday night to employ for-
mer City Clerk Charles Brock
for a week or two to dig out the
needed papers and prepare
them for forwarding to EPA.
Brock was employed since he
was the person who did the
work in the first place and was
familiar with what EPA want-
ed.
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.
Ramsey made a motion to
notify the property owner in
writing Wednesday that this
provision in the City'Ordi-
nance was being initiated in
this case. Commissioner Ben-
ny Roberts seconded the mo-
tion and the entire Commis-
sion approved its application.
OTHER BUSINESS

by Mrs. Linda Gregg for the

By Cubie Laird
k County Extension Director
:I-


On March 21, St. Joe Paper
Company personnel began
operations in volume fertiliza-
tion of their slash pine wet-
lands with phosphate fertili-
zer via helicopter spreading
on their St. Joe Unit. 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.

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.

Herbicides can be useful if
applied properly and incor-
porated into the overall weed
control program. 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.

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

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.

f, lin County areas is District
k- Forester, Richard M. 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!"
