'I, USPS 5 8-880 FORTY-SEVENTH YEAR, NUMBER 33 m Industry-Deep Water Port-Fine People-Safest Beaches in Florida PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA 32456 THURSDAY, APRIL 12, 1984 2 5 PerCTIO py 25 Per Co Ipy" New Overstreet Bridge Anounced DOT Says High Rise Bridge to Be Constructed In Fiscal 1985-86 Florida's Department of Transportation is going full speed, ahead with plans to construct a high pse bridge across the Intracoastal Canal at Overstreet, according to word received by The Star this week from a DOT spokesman. According to the source, construction work on the bridge will begin in the 1986 fiscal year, which begins in July, 1985.' Planning for a high rise at Overstreet was talked about a few years ago, but the project died out and was all ' It'nay'look slightly run down, but this conglomeration of timbers steel ind baliik w'~i, is the floating draw bridge which carries vehicular traffic ,eross the Intracoastal Waterway at Overstreet. The last of its kind in but forgotten., Gulf County 'had even traded some land with DOT, giving the state agency property adjacent to the Canal crossing which 'would straighten out the *present road for a high rise construction. Replacing the old floating drawbridge at Overstreet with a modern high rise would mean the end of an Florida, the bridge Is shedulld'$o be replaced.by a high rise bridge across the canal,; ith coh) auction to begin late next year, according to Florida DOT spokesmen. -Star photo era. Overstreet's floating bridge is the last such structure in Florida. This particular bridge has served long and well and there is no indication whether or not it will be moved to another location. The. floating bridge at Overstreet has been in Gulf County for a long time. It was placed at Overstreet to re- place a ferry operation, when, the Overstreet Road was only i a sand trail through the. western Gulf county woods. Prior to that time, the present floating bridge span- ned the Intracoastal Canal at 'White City on State Highway 71. When, the present draw .bridge was. built at White City in the middle 1940's, the floating bridge was, moved to Overstreet. When the Overstreet high Srise span was first proposed 'some six or seven years ago, .'Port 'St. Joe was in the middle of a big push to persuade DOT to replace the draw span' at Highland View with a high rise span because .the present draw bridge was in a state of bad repair and. was undependable in its operations. Later,, the push continued as ah aid to a planned deep water port operation here, a pan which has since been put on "hold" due to the world export- import market slump. When the Overstreet plans began to. surface, and opposi- tion to the project was voiced from some Overstreet resi- dents, Port St. Joe interests tried to get the bridge funds transferred to the Highland' View project, to no avail.. NO PLANS RELEASED No statistics on the bridge have been released as yet by DOTas to the new bridge's, dimensions. The whole pro- ject seems tobe of a hurry up nature. Since the project- seemed to die several years: ago, its resurrection must have been brought about by the tremendous amount of barge traffic, going through the present draw span,-gen- erated by the Material Transfer coal handling depot herein Port St. Joe. The MTI coal shipments are received 'in over-size barges, which barely fit through the present, draw span. The number of' barges each' day and week also create a hazard at the: old floating bridge with the. .number of openings the traf- fic generates. I Gulf County interests have also long worked fot .a stationary, bridge at Over- street to' serve as a safety outlet, to residents of the Beaches during ti*ees of storms and hurricanes. The DOT source didn't say how long construction was expected to take. COUNTY OWNERSHIP Along with building the bridge, DOT is also entering into a program of widening Overstreet Road from one end to the other and resurfac- ing the entire road. Present ly, the highway is a narrow. road, built initially as a secondary, farm to market road/ . After the road is re-built, . re-surfaced and .the bridge completed, the entire cotm- plex will be turned over to Gulf County to maintain in the future. In keeping with its. present program of turning all but primary roads overto counties to own and main-'-i tain, the Overstreet Road , will follow a number of roads. -, ' in Gulf County which have ., already been turned over lto '.. the county. I The latest of these road is State Road 22, between W- ' wahitchka ar)d Panama City, which Gulf County maintains is a primary road,/but DIT claims otherwise. Construction costs on.je ' new bridge .are expected to-' ' .run around $7.4 million, ' according to the DOT source. Resurfacing and widening of the road is expected to cost around $2.5 million':" .el Les DrierI eaR .. . Residents Want Action Taken Before State Stops All Traffic A group of Gulf County citizens were . petitioning the Courity Commission Tuesday to' Figure out a way to allow driving on south Gulf county beaches without the danger involved with-moving motor vehicles. That's quite a problem. Britt Pickett introduced the problem saying there was an element currently operating'vehicles on the beaches in the Cape San Bias area which was going to cause the state' of Florida, to move in and ban all driving on the beaches if some steps weren't taken. "I'm one of those who enjoys driving on the beach", Pickett said. "I enjoy it. but some are abusing the privilege. Most of those who drive on the beaches do it in a safe manner. I would like some means of controlling the element .which is abusing the privilege and still allow those of us who don't abuse the privilege to enjoy driving on county beaches". Pickett suggested some sort of no-cost permit for local people to allow them to operate vehicles in the area and at the same time prohibit the use of the beaches to the unsavory element which seems to-have moved in. E. F.Gunn, who has a house on the beach in question, said he also liked to drive on the beach, "but those out of county people who were-chased off other beaches are taking advantage of us Gunn said the characters are "drunk and doped up" operating noisy vehicles in an unsafe manner, endangering lives and destroying private property.. "They tore up my fence and used it for fire.y6od", Gunn said. Pete White said there should be some way to work out a plan where local people could continue to enjoy the beach and still keep out the' element which is endangering its continued . use for everyone. Bill Schlickman, who operates Gulf Breeze Campgrounds at Dead Man's Curve and has come before the Commission several times protesting unsafe use of the beaches said, "They don't pay any attention to signs. It isn't all outside people, either. I meet some of the' people who operate cycles and vehicles on the' beaches in an unsafe manner on dur streets, every day." Schlickman also pointed out, "It's impossible for the Sheriff to have a person there all the -time. When I call about an incident, they come. Still, to solve our problem' is going to take some sort of surveillance patrol to arrest these people while they are in action." Pickett quipped at this point, "We didn't- have any problem a couple of years ago in getting enforcement when we were bothered with nude bathers at the beaches." Ed Knight, another campground. operator on the Peninsula said he felt prohibiting driving on the beach altogether would be the best solution. "It would be difficult to give permits to local people and tell tourists they could not drive on the. beaches when others could", Knight said. Knight said many of the vehicles using the beaches are unsafe. He pointed out' .thatif a vehicle can be driven on the beach, it should Allso be capable of qualifying for -highway, travel as 'well. "Many'.of these vehicles have no mufflers andhno brakes. They create a noise problem as well as a safety hazard to people who'ar p n the beach".'Knight pointed especially to the danger to sun bathers, -who often times can't be, seen by operators of vehicles until it is too late to avoid them. "Someone is going to get killed one of these days"; someone quipped from the audience. Commissioner Doug Birmingham suggest- ed the: Commission and interested persons meet with Sheriff Ken Murphy and see if .some . effective solution could be worked out with the problem. "He (Sheriff Murphy) may be able to come Up with some additional manpower in the way of auxiliary people or maybe with some' other officers to provide special patrol at the Beaches for a while", Birmingham said. "All, Swe have to do is make a stiff case or twd, and S.the matter will take care care of itself", he said. ";': Commissioner Billy. Branch said, "If we 'handle it right and sell the idea of safety to the 'public, we can make it work". Branch then. suggested a public hearing be held at the next- :meeting of the Commission, at 7:00 p.m., April 24, and try' to arrive at a solution to the matter. Birmingham seconded the motion stating, "The: whole secret is to show people we mean business in protecting our beaches." y Everyone seemed to agree the problem. could be solved if the Sheriff could station a 'man in uniform or a marked car about every two miles on the nearly 20 miles of beach..Since that is impossible, the hope is the public hearing will produce some ideas which will' allow people to get on the beaches with their recreational vehicles and bar those who would, use it for a race track. : ** -* * Parts of 98 to be Resurfaced The Department of Transportation re- vealed this week, plans -to re- surface portions of U.S. Highway 98 in and around Port St.. Joe. Two segments :of the highway are scheduled for' reworking in. the Depart- ment's work program within the next year. Although :tw&, separate projects are being planned for the highway, they will both be let in a single contract. The projects consist of resurfacing U.S. 98 from the Industrial Road intersection, just across the Overpass, southward to Ninth Street. in Port St. Joe. This would resurface" the highway where it passes. through Port St. Joe from the Overpass to the 'First United Methodist Church. The second project for resurfacing is in the Highland View area, for a distance of 2.1 rhiles. The resurfacing work would com- mence at First Street in Highland View and extend northward for 2.1 miles which would' extend to the area bf the'Dixie Belle curve, The construction project is expected to cost approximately $200,000 and the con- tract will be jet in fiscal year 1985-86, which commences in July of next year. Joe St. Clair First toQ Declare for Office JOE ST. CLAIR Joe St.' Clair became the -first potential candidate to 'announce his intentions to seek office ih the fall primar- ies this week when he an- nounced he would seek elec- tion to the office of Clerk of the Circuit Court for Gulf County. Joe is the son of Jinks and Vermell St. Clair of Wewa- hitchka. He attended school in Wewahitchka and is a. graduate of the Port St. Joe High School. He is an honor graduate of the Cincinnati College of Mortuary .Science and served Gulf County for many years as the 6wner:of the St. Clair Funeral Home'jin'- Port St. Joe. Joe is married to .the former Connie Birmingham. of Wewahitchka and they , have two children. He has. been active in thetpast in the Jaycees, Kiwanis Club, The American Cancer Society, and the White City Volunteer Fire Department. Joe is a member of the First .Pentecostal Holiness Church of Port St. Joe and- serves as secretary to th Board of Deacons. Rear Wheel Didn't Follow .Truck'driver, Lee Davis, of-Riverside, California said 'he had been driving.a truck "' -. for over 20 years. He, has logged millions of miles. On this most recent trip, he had . driven from Riverside. to- Miami, then back to Port St. L Joe and 'was planning on starting back to Riverside last Friday after he. loaded up on Sylvachem products here in Port St. Joe. His trip back to Riverside . was delayed a few hours. As Davis was driving his truck toward the old City a Warehouse on the docks, where Sylvachem stores ' materials for shipment, Da- vis turned his rig into First Street, but his rear wheels didn't turn. They kept. on going straight ahead, In millions of miles' driven .... over 20 years, Davis 'forgot ' to lock his adjustable rear wheels into place at his last ' stop. . Water System Bids Received Low Bid of $915,368.77 Turned In by Lynn Haven Firm Three bids were received Tuesday from firms wishing to get .the job of building the new Beaches water system. The bids. ranged from a low of $915,368.77 from I-C Con- tractors in Panama City to a high of $1,060,381.00 from Blankenship and Lee in Tal- lahassee. T and A Utilities of Lynn Haven had the medium bid of $978,427.72. The County has $1.2 million available for financing the project. Half of the money came from .a federal grant and the remaining half of the funding will be provided by way of a loan guaranteed by Farmer's Home Administra- tion. After the three bids were read, the Commission decid- ed to' hold the bids until the next meeting, of the Board. During the ensuing two weeks, the bids will be analyzed by the engineers,. the Board and a consultant who has been hired by the Board to oversee the project and' its financial plan. In the meantime, the per- formance reputation of the bidding firms will be ex- amined. Provided the bids are in order and a firm can be contracted to build the sys- tem from the bidders, work on construction of the system is expected to begin within 60 days. In other bidding action, Tractor and Equipment of Company of Panama City was the successful bidder in furnshing the county a back hoe bucket at a bid of $2,786. SRayburn and Company of Swainsboro, Georgia, was the successful bidder to :furnish the county two gar- bage trailers at a cost of $2,500 each. STATION SITE E. F. Gunn reported to the Commission an agreement had been reached with the St. Joe Paper Company to fur- nish the county with about three and a half acres of property on which to locate a solid waste transfer station for south Gulf county. Gunn said the property .is across Industrial Road from the present landfill site and can be easily adapted to accommodate the station. "It's a good site", Gun said. "We'll have plenty of room and there is no problem with over-burden (muck) to have to be taken out". Gunn said the county is awaiting the approval of DER for the site. He said the. DER inspector should be in the county for an inspection within a week. MOVING FENCE Mrs. Willard Richards of Highland View asked if she would have to move a fence off an unused alleyway at the rear of Ihr home on Hayes Avenue. "Other people have gardens, sheds and other' things on the alley, so what problem is my fence caus- ing?" Mrs. Richards said the alley has never been opened .and "so far -as I can tell, it hasn't been used by anybody in 30 years". Mrs. Richards said she didn't know why she was being selected to be "haras- sed" about the matter, when others were using the alley, also. "I can't afford to have the fence taken down. It took all my money to have it put up (Continued on Page 7) Schools Out for Holidays Gulf County schools will let out classes Friday at noon for a full week of vacation time for the tea- chers and students. The annual Easter holi- days will begin in Gulf county ~ londay and con- tinuealf next week, accord-. ing to Superintendent of Schools,. Walter Wilder. Students will report back to classes on Monday, April. 23. ''- (:,.'. Editorials and Comments THE STAR THURSDAY. APRIL 12. 19R4 .nly On Fix Sc -i: i At a point earlier in their lives,: imnost of the men in our city were involved in Boy Scouts at. some .time or' other. If you were to -take a poll, we feel that almost 100 percent of the most influential and ::inost active men of our county as a -whol, were members of the Boy SScouts. : Many of the adult men of our city were involved 'in their Scout activities in the same building 3vhich even now is the home of this most stable of organized boy activities. Even then, the floor was falling in, daylight was a ceiling decoration, wind whipped through the cracks making the building almost unbearable in the winter time. In the' summer, lack of insulation makes the building hot Sand -muggy. T There have been at least .a dozen well-meaning attempts at getting something done for the old building. Rdofs have been replac- ed, floors strengthened, walls painted, etc. At one point in time, even another building was moved in to fill some of the inadequacies of :, the old, but even the "new" : building was old and what was S.inadequate before was still inade- quate: It just wasn't quite so rotten under foot. w. All; these generous gestures were appreciated; we're sure.

What was really needed, was a bulldozer to visit the' sight and clear the way for a new building. This is still the need. We think everyone involved recognizes this, but they are also realistic enough to wonder where the. money is coming from. No- body's; going to bulldoze down a building which is presently better- than nothing at all, until something is seen on the horizon to replace it with. That makes sense, even if the building is still inadequate. Not only does the building serve the needs of the Boy Scouts, it serves other purposes as well, and could be even more useful, if it weren't so dangerous to life and' limb. Already, the Scout Hut has an official capacity other than as a home for the Boy Scouts. The Scout Hut is also the official Gulf County polling place for Precinct 10. So, you see, the Scout Hut has a useful purpose in our community. Another attempt is getting under way to build a new building on the old site. The desire is there and the direction is correct. Build a new building and let's be done with all these makeshift arrangements we have been making in the past. And, after the building is built, we think it should be named the "John T. Simpson Scout Home." Likes It . children. If he just has to kill children, however, society is better off with Goode dead. In Louisiana, the parents of a teen-age boy and girl who Elmo ':at. ck, ei" "wawa~ ~jyicted of killing, stood -and watched as Sonnier was put to death by electricity in Angola Prison. We hardly believe the parents were happy over watching Sonnier die, because his dying could not bring their children back to life. Nobody likes executions, even though those executed have com- mitted crimes despicable to soc- iety. If anyone enjoys these execu- tions, we feel. they need to run, don't walk, to'the nearest psychia- trist and seek some help. On the other hand, those who force society to resort to the inhumanity of putting criminals to death, by the severity of their crimes, have brought about a punishment nobody likes, but which we must condone. Simply Divine Wedding Eclipsed Only by Hog Killing By Kesley Colbert TRENTON, TENNESSEE - Now when you've covered as many weddings for the social page as I have over my journalistic career, you get to where you know a real wedding when you see one. And I'm telling you they had some' more ceremony up here over the weekend. It was the social event of the year in Gibson County, well almost the event of the year - I forgot about the annual hog killing they have over at Frog Jump the second week- Back In the Saddle I did something the other day that I've been wanting to do for a long time. I bought me some cowboy boots, .several pairs of jeans, three honest -to-goodness cowboy shirts and a big, wide-brim cowboy hat I have always wanted to be a cowboy. Roy Rogers is my all-time, favorite cowboy. Roy was big when I was a kid. He is even bigger, in my opinion, now-' than he was then. You see, Roy has dedicated his life to playing out the roles he acted. He was always the "good guy." Along with his faithful horse Trigger and fearless dog Bullet, he round- ed up the outlaws that stalked the Old West. If there ever was a movie star for young men to emu- late, Roy Rogers is the one. Roy never smoked, used bad language, drank, ran around on Dale, his beautiful wife, and was slow to anger. He was a super cowboy, it seemed. I read an article about Roy in the newspaper this morn- ing, and it indicated that he has indeedlivedAllifre t6"te dole Iayedi almost ninrty movies th e acted in. He and Dale also filmed over 100 westerns for their TV series that was widely shown during the 1950s. Roy hasn't had much time to get into trouble. Roy was a dashing figure during those early movies. He was slim and muscular with clean cut features and the fastest on the draw of any cowboy I ever saw. He could fight for what seemed like hours and never lose his composure, get a cut or busted lip and never, never had his hat knocked off his head. I don't recall ever seeing him reload his six- shooter either. 1 was always impressed with the many ways he. (Continued on Page 3) end in December. But this was big doings, everything about it was big big church, big crowd, big reception, big cake, big bride... In keeping with the man- ner in which big weddings are supposed to be written up I am going to describe how everyone was dressed because I know some people place a great deal of import- ance as to what each player is a wearing for such a prestigious occasion. This the part I like best in report- ing a wedding 'cause I get to use all those good adjectives and adverbs and the like that I learned in school so ya'll feel like youcould c lose your eyes and see the whole thing. Here we go. The groom (Continued on Page 3) s Would Have Taught Us Better Housekeeping Manners X number of million years old are art. They would have to be smart to en dream up such a story as that. ey would have to be even smarter prove it. Or perhaps it is that we're Who can tell? Who can even tell if the bone is male or female? Its name could have been Nancy, Helen, Patricia, Hortense, or any of a million other names. ETAOIN SHRDLU ( By:W( t dumb enough to believe the stor>. This new piece of bone already a name. You betcha! Here this ik of bone of five million years has n found and given a name. I can't help wondering if the n-ape-creature-whatever it was ch was attached to that two inch ce five million years ago had a me. Was it Gus? Ralph? Henry? )rge? John? Jethro? definite hominid known to man Com- pared to "Tab", "Lucy" was not quite a teen-ager yet. She was a youngster who probably didn't even know "Tab" Even though she lived in the esley R. Ramsey Anyhow, this new five million year old two inch piece of bone has been named Tabarin hominid. With a name like that, he 'or she, ought to be rich At least, they should have a PhD behind their name. We might even call him "Tab" for short Up until "Tab" was found. "Lucy" an "Australopithecus afaren- sis", for those of you ,ant to hold on ceremony, was the olde.,,t known same neighborhood-"Tab" in Kenya and "Lucy" in Ethiopia-it's unlikely they ever set eyes on each other "Lucy" is a mere four million years old- a full million years louriger than "Tab" I'M WONDERING ho.w these smart scientists can come up with any shape fora man from a two inch piece of law bone How can they tell how tall he was \\as he bald? If they sa', yes, I'm going to my grave wondering just how they knew. Is he flat-footed? Did he have corns? Ingrown toenails? Split ends? Warts? A light (or heavy) beard" All of these are pertinent ques- tions, I think, which must be answered before they go telling us if he was a brunette or a red-head. I don't really intend to make fun of the professor's find or his claim, it's just that I find it hard'to accept the fact that a man, living in 1984-five million years after the two inch piece of bone-can tell so much from so little I read a letter to the editor in the Panama City News Herald the other day where a writer saw a sea monster out of a few cool cans while fishing out on the Jetties at St. Andrews State Park How can we be sure our good professor over in Kenya isn't using the same identification formula? THE ARTICLE ALSO goes on to say this two inch piece of bone may also be a link which will prove, once and for all that (as the article put it) "human ancestors broke away from the apes". First of all, I find it hard to believe humans would have to "break away" from apes. If the apes recognized any different kinds in their neighborhoods, and those different ones tended to have human habits, I feel it would have been the apes which did the "breaking away". Secondly, I come back to the first argument of how can a man deter- mine common ancestry with an ape from a two inch piece of five million year old bone? That's expecting a. little much, I'd say. The writer of the article went on to say: "Scientists generally agree that more than 3.5 million years ago, the ancestors of the modern apes split with humanity's ancient grandpar- ents and went their separate evolu- tionary way." Now that paragraph makes sense. Taking a look at how men keep their neighborhood-tossing out two inch pieces of bone and such-no doubt the apes wished to have cleaner surroundings.

APRIL 12. 1984 PAGE THREE (Continued from Page 2) Simply wore a suit with some extra material hanging down the back, the bride wore a white dress that had lots of material in it, somebody had brought some small trees (looked like they might be in the palm family) and placed them around the church and they had a whole bunch of candles sitting up front which I didn't think they'd ever get lit and when they finally did I realized they didn't need them because it was in the middle of the afternoon and there was plenty of light in the church. I wore my best pair of duck- head overalls. Say I know how to dress when attending a wedding in West Ten- nessee. The music was I believe the best I'd ever heard at such an occasion. Lefty Wig- gleton and his band opened up around three o'clock (the wedding was scheduled for 3:30) with "Rocky-Top", and followed that up with "There Stands the Glass" and . "From Mother's Arms to Korea"; then they turned old Charlie Hume loose on the steel guitar for a couple of in- strumentals. Old Charlie made that steel talk on "Black Mountain Rag". Then, as is Lefty's custom, they played an old Ned Miller tune, "From a Jack to a King" as the groom made his way from behind all the palm trees to take his place at the front of the church. I really thought Lefty and the boys outdid themselves when the bride started down the aisle they broke into a Bob Wills' standard, "Roly Poly". The bride made it down to the front and the preacher finally got the crowd to stop clapping and stomping their Divine feet (Lefty is near about a legend in Gibson County) and the ceremony began. And I want you to know that for the first time in my life I actually heard what was be- ing said by all the players as I was sitting on the second row right in the middle - best seat in the house. I don't know aht we paid for those seats but it was worth it to hear Lefty bend those str- ings. It wasn't worth it when it came to the actual wed- ding the whole thing was over in two minutes. All that planning and preparing and rehearsing, and I'd driven 612 miles just to get here ... and it's over. Well, old Lefty and the boys sure sounded good. Let me back up and tell you something else that made this wedding stand out it was that pre-game meal we had the night before. Now I don't think I had any of- ficial capacity at this wed- ding and I don't know how I got invited to the pre-game meal except maybe for the fact that my son was the ring bearer and my wife was some kin to the bride. The groom's folks put this feed on and knew something about cooking. The baked 'possum was the best I'd ever tasted and the stewed green tomato sandwiches would melt in your mouth. Fried okra and corn on the cob, white beans and corn bread, I tell you, I ate for a while. Dessert was a Ten- nessee tradition a RC Cola and a Moon Pie, followed by some flipping, sipping and dipping snuff. I tried not to let on that maybe I wasn't supposed to be there, I just smiled at everybody and shoved down the food. Only the bride ate more than I did. The key word at this wed- ding was lovely. As I moved in and out at the reception I could hear such phrases as "Didn't the bride look love- ly?", "Wasn't it a lovely wedding?", "What a lovely day". It was 400 and overcast and the wind was blowing something fierce and it look- ed like rain and it was a "lovely" day? They must not have many weddings in West Tennessee. As I was leaving the reception, one matronly looking lady turns to me and asked me what I thought of the day. I didn't want to be original and say lovely so I looked her right in the eye and said simply divine. I guess it was a lovely wed- ding but two things keep coming back to me that still disturb me just a little. 1.) I never did catch the name of the bride although I did find out that she's my wife's sister; and 2) That guy that set up in the choir loft throughout the entire pro- ceedings with a shotgun. Respectfully, Kes Saddle (Continued from Page 2) mounted his horse Trigger. Trigger was a smart horse, to say the least. He was always in the right place at the right time. I've seen Roy jump off the tops of buildings and land right in the saddle. One time Roy ran out a door, jumped for what seemed like fifteen feet, placed his hands on Trigger's rear flanks and landed with a dull "thud" right in the saddle. I often wondered why Roy didn't hurt himself, landing in the saddle so hard. He must have gotten used to it because he's still riding at age 72. Roy Rogers was a singing OBITUARIES N. H.

Suddenly a guitar would materialize and off he would go with a few verses of "Back In The Saddle" as they slowly rode into the sunset. What a man! I never could figure out how Roy made a living. He certainly was no bounty hunter. He caught outlaws for the fun of' it. He didn't have time to be a farmer or rancher, he was too busy catching bandits. I always wondered when or where he worked. I have always admired Roy Rogers and I still want to be just like him. All I have to do now is find me a twenty-thou- sand acre ranch, a good horse and saddle, a fearless dog, some spurs that jingle and I will be set. I already know all the words to "Back In The Saddle." For Ambulance Service Call 227-1115 Sur-Way Electric 411 Reid Avenue Commercial, Residential Remodeling and Service Work CHARLES SOWELL REG. NO.

Council Purchases Robot The Northwest Florida Drug Council- Prevention Program has recently pur- chased an educational robot to enhance the existing drug education program. Plans are being made to use the robot in the elementary, schools of Jackson, Calhoun, Holmes, Washington, Bay and Gulf Counties. The robot will be used to encourage young people to say "no" to drugs. Educa- tional programs will be de- veloped to make young stu- dents more aware of the harmful effects of drugs. It is believed that this unique, innovative approach will leave a lasting impression of the drug prevention presen- tation. This robot is not designed to replace an instructor; it is an exciting, new addition to the prevention team. (A new staff member has recently been hired to operate the robot). NPOlc Constance W.
