These -STAR PHOTO Rotary Sponsored Dental Clinic Begins Work Here The Florida State Board -of Health Mobile Dental Unit, spon- sored by the Rotary Club of Port St. Joe has begun a program of 'corrective dental care and dental health education. The unit is cur- rently stationed on the school grounds of the Washington Elemen- tary School. When work is complet- ed this unit will be moved to Car- ver School ini Wewahitchka. The purpose of this program is threefold. 1) direct remedial care for children in the first six < grades of. school whose parents are medically indigent. 2) Pre- Svntion of dental diseases'resulft- ing from poor care and maloc- clusion. 31 Promote an awareness of the importance of consistent daily care of the teeth. The Unit is fully equipped with all neces- sary instruments including X- ray. It is operated by a graduate dentist. This is the first part of the Ro- tary sponsored program. In this 'phase it is anticipated that ap- proximately 350 Negro students in Port St. Joe and Wewahitchka will be benefitted. A similar unit for the white school children will be in^the County in the early fall. Breakdown Hampers Production of The Star If you find something missing from this week's Star, we are in- deed sorry. Our newspaper press suffered a bad breakdown last Saturday, as we were printing the last of the "Campaign Sale" circulars. An attempt to 'repair if' was fu- tile, so we had to call a printing machinery "doctor" from Atlanta to fix the press's innards. He ar- rived yesterday, and the press is probably being put back together today. In the meantime, we have had to make up pages and take them to Wewahitchka to print them. Such an arrangement makes for a lot of work, a lot of hurry- ing, and consequently a lot of forgotten things and things that time just wouldn't allow for. We'll try to tell you why we think the press threw a gear in next week's paper if we get the thing fixed.

In Africa, Comet showed its stamina again in "the wildest ride on earth"-the monsoon-swept East African Safari Rally. 94 cars started. Only 21 finished the run-two of them were Comets.

After 100,000 miles at Daytona, one of these special Comets has traveled another 31,000 and is still going strong. Then rally-equipped Comets slogged through 3,188 miles of African mud, rocks and jungle-the first to carry America's colors in the world's toughest car event. Want more reasons?

Soon after his birth, his family moved from Madison County to Gadsden County. Every farm always has its share of animals; here Scott holds his favorite pet. Scott and members of the 1943 Quincy High School football team. An appreciation of nature comes early to a boy raised on a form. Every youth has a spot which is "special" to him ... a place where a boy can meet his thoughts in private. This was such a place for young Scott Kelly. The Long Road From Boyhood To Governor From a boyhood on a farm near Quincy in Gadsden County to the gov- ernor's chair in Tallahassee is a long, uncertain path, but successful business- man, state senator and former Lake- land Mayor Scott Kelly stands ready to meet the challenge. With typical strong Kelly determina- tion molded from sharing early respon- sibilities on the family farm, the per- sonable 36-year-old Kelly knows the meaning of lean times and the need of a state government with fiscal aware- ness. Scott is one of six children and was born September 30, 1927, in Madison County, Florida; but, soon thereafter, his family moved to a farm near Quincy; this served as home through graduation from Quincy High. His initial start in the busy world of commerce came at the age of 12 when he industriously opened a rickety, but profitable, fireworks stand on the county courthouse square in Quincy during the Christmas Holidays. When Kelly was 14, his aggressive business tactics in the field of fireworks caused business to increase and even brought a chuckle from courthouse em- ployees. Not content with one stand, the enterprising youngster opened two additional stands on the other sides of the courthouse square. Kelly exhibited an interest in farm- ing at an early age. When he was 13, Kelly took $300 of his hard earned money to enter a Future Farmers of America contest. He chose to take on the project of building a chicken brooder. The construction after careful planning, went smoothly. The brooder was stocked with 100 chicks and young Scott, along with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Kelly, were delighted with the completed project. But the youthful farmer was to ex- perience his first great disappointment with his FFA project. A faulty furnace triggered a fire and completely demol- ished the brooder and chickens, along with the dreams of a young farm boy. The tears came. After a sleepless night by Scott, his father promised to rebuild the treasured FFA project for the youthful farmer by sundown the next day. And so he did, but not before it taught the 13-year-old Scott to accept his first disappointment, along with the equally important character building precept of restoring faith in people. Kelly lost his father a year later, when he was killed in an automobile accident. The slender youngster (not yet a man, no longer a boy) keenly felt the loss of his father. This loss of per- sonal counsel and deep comradeship would leave its imprint firmly planted on Scott throughout his development. Earlier, in the summer of 1941, Scott tumbled from a tobacco barn and spent the majority of the year on crutches. In spite of the injury, Scott bounced back and went on to play football for Quincy High School. He was awarded a football scholarship to the University of Florida in recognition of the record he made in high school athletics. Al- though the death of his father made it necessary for Scott to work during his high school years, he compiled an out- standing scholastic and athletic record. Scott worked his way through school ... a challenge which a person who has had to do it will admire. Upon graduation from Quincy High in 1945, Kelly attended the University of Florida on the football scholarship. At the University he joined Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity. From the University, he went on to enter the U. S. Army. Paid For By The SCOTT KELLY FOR GOVERNOR Campaign Fund. Responsibility and Success Came Early Scott served in the U. S. Army as an enlisted man. After his honorable discharge, the young veteran, his wife Margie and son Pat, moved to Lakeland where a new chapter in their lives unfolded. 11 A'Tl U~l ~HER A young father with family responsibility, here Scott holds his first-born son, Pat, now 15. A proud young businessman poses with his employees at his first Lakeland real estate office. From running a restaurant to being a life insurance man (worked for Inde- pendent Life Insurance Company of Jacksonville), from being a bookkeeper in a furniture store to other jobs, Scott fought his way forward. A dynamic new chapter unfolded for Scott Kelly, former Gadsden County farm boy, when he and his attractive wife, Margie, decided to settle in the picturesque and pro- gressive city of Lakeland. Confident of the future growth of the state, Kelly entered the general con- tracting business in Lakeland in 1950 at the age of 22. He was one of the first contractors to build residential housing developments in the Lakeland area. His wife Margie worked side-by- side with him as his secretary-book- keeper until 1955. With Scott and Margie Kelly, busi- ness and politics has been a team ef- fort. When Scott embarked on a busi- ness career, Margie manned the office while Scott supervised .work at con- struction'sites. They worked together until after their -three children were born. Then Margie took over full-time duties as a homemaker. This teamwork spirit has prevailed in Scott's campaigns for the City Com- mission of Lakeland and .his two cam- paigns for Senator. These were door- to-door efforts. Little change has been made except that in the campaign for the governorship, Margie is doing more city-to-city traveling with Scott and on her own, to coffees, teas and informal meetings with women in all parts of the state. Through sound business -principles and good management, Scott's fledg- ling contracting business soon was able to tackle larger jobs in the form of pro- fessional office buildings and commer- cial structures. With an interest in soil conservation dating back to his Future Farmer of America days as a youth on the farm near Quincy, the young contractor rose to the challenge offered by strip-mined wastelands near Lakeland. Kelly felt these lands could be transformed into attractive residential areas. After intense planning, Scott tackled the project with his usual enthusiasm. The end result proved to be worth the effort. The area emerged into a con- temporary subdivision the first such reclamation project of its kind in the United States. A year after entering the construc- tion field, Kelly turned to a logical allied area and at 23, became the youngest Realtor in the United States. Scott continues to operate a real estate agency in Lakeland with a staff of five salesmen. As a successful businessman, Kelly also owns and operates a general in- surance agency. He serves as director and chairman of the executive commit- mittee of the Imperial Bank of Lake- land. In spite of a busy schedule, Scott has always found time to be active in church and community affairs. The family belongs to the First Baptist Church of Lakeland. The Kelly's have three children: Pat, 15, Mike, 11, and Sheri, 10. He is a 32nd Degree Mason, and Shriner; is a member of the Lions Club, Chamber of Commerce, Junior Cham- ber of Commerce, Elks Lodge, Univer- sity of Florida Alumni Association, Pi Kappa Alpha Alumni Association, Lake- land Board of Realtors, Home Builders Association of Greater Lakeland, AMVETS, Woodmen of the World, Moose Lodge, and the Executive Board of Gulf Ridge Council of Boy Scouts of America. For his many contributions toward a better community and better govern- ment, Kelly was selected in 1954 as Lakeland's Outstanding Young Man of the Year. He was named one of Flor- ida's Five Outstanding Young Men in 1957. In 1961 he was awarded the Florida Legislative Achievement Coun- cil award for performing the most effec- tive committee work of any member in the 1961 Florida legislature. From the Junior Chamber of Commerce, he re- ceived the State Jaycee "Good Govern- ment Award" in 1962. During the same year he was nominated for the coveted "Ten Outstanding Young Men of Amer- ica" award. Scott receives an award from the beloved late Dr. Ludd M. Spivey, President of Florida Southern College. Scott has received many awards of recognition for his work in public service. On the job as contractor, Scott checks construction on a new home. Paid For By The SCOTT KELLY FOR GOVERNOR Campaign Fund. MAN ON A firm belief in the principle that good govern- ment comes as a result of active participation by its citizens, triggered the youthful Scott Kelly's decision to seek the office of city commissioner in Lakeland, in 1953. It was a vigorous campaign for the young busi- nessman. For six weeks, he and his charming wife Margie campaigned door-to-door, meeting the voters of Lakeland and discussing the city's needs. The people of Lakeland responded warmly to Kelly and elected him city commissioner at the age of 25 over three opponents, without a run-off election. At age 27 he served Lakeland as its youngest mayor. At the 1955 Mayor's Conference in New York City, he was acclaimed the nation's youngest mayor. During his outstanding term as mayor, Kelly in- stituted numerous community betterment programs. THE Among these was a recreation program designed to keep down juvenile delinquency. This program received national recognition from the late U. S. Senator Estes Kefauver who cited Kelly's plan as one of the most outstanding youth programs in the United States. The need for a businessman, with a knowledge of government, to represent the people of Polk County (7th Senatorial District) attracted Scott Kelly to seek the office in the spring of 1956. The voters of Polk County spoke in a near unanimous voice Kelly, at the age of 28, became- the youngest member of the Senate. Once again, Scott Kelly's flair for organizing a grass roots cam- paign resulted in a landslide victory. He received more than twice as many votes as his three op- ponents making a run-off unnecessary. He was re-elected to the Senate in 1960 by the largest A tense moment in Senate debate. In 1953, winner by a landslide vote, 25-year-old Scott waves his hat in a jubilant mood following a hard campaign for a Lakeland city commission post. Kelly won on the first ballot, getting more votes than his three opponents combined. the Rev. Arthur Rich of Lakeland's First Baptist Church* the Rev. Arthur Rich of Lakeland's First Baptist Church. Scott is shown seated as Lakeland's mayor. Kelly, at 27, was Lakeland's youngest mayor, and was acclaimed the youngest mayor in the United States at the Mayor's Conference in New York City in 1955. Celebrating victory in 1956, Scott receives a kiss from his wife, Margie, and a hug from his mother, Mrs. James Kelly.

Kelly's accomplishments during two terms of office are unparalleled. Probably the most notable accomplishment was as chairman of the Interim Committee on Public Roads and Highways, created by the 1959 session of the Florida Legislature and assigned to investigate methods of improving op- eration of the state's most powerful agency, the State Road Department. Despite warnings that he was "committing political suicide", Scott Kelly pursued the investigation impartially. He presided over 18 public hearings in all parts of the state where testimony and evidence was presented ex- posing bribery, inferior construction, profiteering, inefficiency and poor administration in Florida's road building program. In the 1961 legislative session, he introduced 12 hills designed to reorganize the State Road De- apartment "to get a dollar's worth of roads for every dollar of our gas tax money." Scott Kelly has developed an over-all reor- ganization plan which will place the State Road Department on an efficient, business basis. He has been vigorous in his support of quality education and has co-introduced all three teacher pay-raise bills since he has been in the Senate (1957-61-63). In the 1963 session, Kelly co-intro- duced legislation, giving teachers professional status, appearing before committees on behalf of the bill. He was successful. in passing legislation establishing a Junior College in Polk County. In the 1963 session he introduced legislation to create a Department of Municipal Affairs under one of the existing Cabinet posts so that the State can assist cities, thereby assuming state responsi- bilities in this field, discouraging federal encroach- ment in local government.

Both his father's and his mother's families are Florida pioneers, * with the frugality and industriousness that produces a hardy and con- servative people running heavily through the family background. The youngest of six children who was left alone at home with his mother when his father died in a traffic accident, Scott learned the value of frugality and the importance of thriftiness from his , mother. At the age of 14, Scott worked half days to help with family needs, and his mother managed the family affairs. There developed a * closeness between the two of them a closeness that was born of necessity for it required teamwork and an unusual understanding of their need for each other at a time when elder brothers and sisters had left home. Mrs. Kelly takes pride in the fact that she always urged her youngest son to save and be careful about spending money. His managerial ability and his trait of fiscal conservatism is a direct result of her watchfulness over the family funds and Scott's early realization of the value of a dollar. Mrs. Kelly is the former Melissa Hunter. She was born in Mad- ison County.

As a businessman, State Senator, and former Mayor of the City of Lakeland, I have the knowl- edge, experience and determination to accomplish this vital need. Here are prime goals which I aim to attain as Governor of Florida. ONE: I will insist on the repeal of the unfair increased tax on our auto-truck license togs. I led the 'A fight against this increase and voted against it in the legislature. I have strongly advocated repeal of this increase since its passage. TWO: I will oppose and I will veto a sales tax on groceries and medicine. THREE: I will propose to, and urge upon the legislature with all the influence of the Governor's office, the adoption of a resolution placing a constitutional amendment on the ballot so that the people may vote on this question which would give local school boards the authority to allow bible read-' ing and prayer in our public schools. Further, I will lend all assistance possible to Florida's Con- gressional Delegation in the enactment of a similar amendment to the Federal Constitution. FOUR: 1 am opposed to repeal of the Homestead Exemption Act. FIVE: I will propose to the legislature the repeal of the retail milk price-fixing authority of the Florida 'A Milk Commission. I will appoint to the Milk Commission those persons who will assure me that they are opposed to retail price-fixing and are pledged to protection of the milk consumer. SIX: ,t I will develop and coordinate a sound juvenile delinquency control program through the Florida Children's Commission and will seek help from juvenile authorities, youth groups and other organizations which work with our youth. SEVEN:.- I will provide the leadership and cooperation necessary to achieve excellence in our public schools and junior colleges, and to obtain the best teachers available and provide them with adequate salaries. My record stands out on this subject. I co-introduced all three teacher pay- .A raise bills since I have been in the Senate. (1959-1961-1963) EIGHT: I will provide the leadership to keep improving our university system so that it can keep pace with our increasing population. I will work to provide higher education of the calibre that will ' help Florida attract more of the space age industries. NINE: I will work diligently to attract new industry and payrolls to Florida and encourage existing industries to expand in order to meet the need for jobs for all of our people. TEN: I will promote the establishment of vocational schools which will give all of our people an opportunity to develop certain skills, crafts and vocations and provide both a better standard of living and much needed technical manpower and womanpower for industry. This will, at the some time, greatly reduce the number of drop-outs in high school and increase the number of high school graduates who will be equipped to go on to higher education. ELEVEN: * I will propose to the legislature a plan of reorganization of the State Road Department, pro- viding continuity from one governor's administration to the next and to more efficiently and economically develop our road system. By removing the State Road Department from politics we will then build roads on traffic count rather than on vote count for the winning gubernatorial candidate. To insure proper administration of the secondary rood funds, I will appoint at least one member of the State Road Board who is now a county commissioner or who has served as a county commissioner. TWELVE: I will urge the creation of a Department of Municipal Affairs under one of the existing cabinet posts to afford our municipalities a direct liaison at the Cabinet level with state government. THIRTEEN: I will work diligently to eliminate unfair competition from foreign imported agricultural prod- ucts which at this time are causing depressed prices in Florida beef and beef product markets. FOURTEEN: I will continue to work closely with the Florida citrus industry and will lend every assistance possible as Governor to promote new markets and new uses for citrus. I will do my utmost to protect the Florida citrus industry from tariff concessions which would create unfair competition from foreign citrus imports. As a grove-owner, I am determined that politics will not be injected in any way, shape, form, or fashion into the administration of the Florida Citrus Commission or any phase of the citrus industry. FIFTEEN: I will support a port development and foreign trade promotion program in cooperation with the Florida Ports and Foreign Trade Council, so that Florida may realize its full potential as the home state of this nation's sea ports best situated for increased trade with Latin America and the European and African continents. The development of Florida's ports should be a joint effort by government and private enterprise. My program for port development will utilize this theory. SIXTEEN: I will give constant attention to the needs of our senior citizens through an active Commission on Problems of the Aged I will seek to utilize the energies and potential productivity of senior citizens and retirees by encouraging industries which can offer them part-time employment to locate in Florida. SEVENTEEN: I will activate a traffic safety program to combat the high rate of deaths and accidents on our highways. * EIGHTEEN: I will call for the creation of a Commission on the Status of Women for the task of assessing the role of women in business, education, home and community services, with a view to developing a program which will utilize the potential of our women in these fields and others, particularly the field of public service. I expect to appoint qualified women to state positions according to ability, experience and effort without preference or discrimination based on sex. NINETEEN: I will continue to work for fair apportionment of the legislature and our congressional districts. I will promote revision of Florida's Constitution, so that it may better fill the needs of today's complex society. I am in favor of establishing the office of Lieutenant Governor with this official to be elected by the people. TWENTY: I will protect and uphold the principle of States Rights so that we will be in a position to resist Federal encroachment or infringement upon the rights of the states. I will insist that we assume full responsibility for those moral obligations and for those rights reserved to the states. TWENTY-ONE: I will develop a conservation program for water resources and our other natural resources that will prevent waste of the abundant gifts of nature upon which Florida's future depends. TWENTY-TWO I will encourage an expanded public library program, utilizing bookmobile facilities and encourage county governments to support these programs which are vital if our people are to * maintain the educational advantages they have obtained through our public school system. Better libraries can alleviate to some degree the shortage of reference books and texts in our schools. Bookmobile programs will be encouraged where needed. TWENTY-THREE: I will institute a state-wide Sports Advisory Board: the board will be composed of leaders in the sports field who will donate their time and services to the state. It will be their function to give true guidance to the growth and encouragement of sports in Florida. Through it, our state will , become the Number One Sports center of the nation. Such missing links as professional football, promotion of all types of water sports and many other voids can be filled by way of their advice and counsel. TWENTY-FOUR: I will insist that the state purchase Florida manufactured products and Florida services when- ever and wherever possible. I will encourage all local governments to follow this same policy. TWENTY-FIVE: .* I will cooperate with and urge strong support of the Florida Alcoholic Rehabilitation program. SYNOPSIS I sincerely believe that the application of sound business principles and conscientious coopera- tion between the Governor's office, the Cabinet, and the legislature can and will result in the State of Florida progressing and fulfilling its destiny as the greatest state in the Union. I will provide the leadership which will accomplish this. Paid For By The SCOTT KELLY FOR GOVERNOR Campaign Fund. "As Governor of Florida it will always be my goal to provide for its citizens an honest, efficient, business administration dedicated to leadership and progress for our growing state." A Personal Message To All Florida Motorists... ... From Sen. Scott Kelly Candidate For Governor When the bill increasing Florida auto-truck tag license fees came to a vote in the Florida Senate, I led the debate against this discriminatory tax. The big-spenders in the legislature were frantic to pass this tax. They had over-spent... written a bad check... and after taxing luxuries as much as they dared, were still millions of dollars short of paying the bill .. millions of dollars short of making the bad check good. We killed the bill after heated debate, but it was revived again and again. On the third try it passed but not until those of us in the Senate who were fighting the bill labeled it for what it was ... an unfair tax which discriminated against the motorist. My position was basically this. The auto is no longer a luxury. It is a necessity in the earning of a livelihood for most of us. Immediately after the legislative session adjourned, I began working for repeal of the increase in the auto-truck tag fees. In August of 1963, I granted the Florida Explorer, the official publication of the Peninsula Motor Club, an exclu- sive interview in which I called for repeal of this discrimina- tory tax. The Florida Explorer pointed out in bold headlines that my statement would make repeal of the auto-truck tag in- crease an issue in the campaign for the governorship. This forecast was accurate. When I announced my candidacy for the Governorship of Florida in Sarasota on Jan. 11, 1964, I made a pledge to the voters of Florida that when elected, I will work for repeal of the increase in the license tag fees. I think the motorists... every auto and truck owner in the state... and the voters of Florida should have an opportunity to express themselves on this obnoxious tax. I am the only candidate who has been demanding repeal of the auto-truck tag increase since it was ap- proved by the legislature. I was the first to call for repeal of this tax upon becoming a candidate, and I expect to continue my efforts to roll the license fees back to the original level. I need your help if we are to be successful in remov- ing this discriminatory tax increase... and if we are to protect Florida motorists in the future. Scott Kelly's plan for develop- If/I't DP AN ing a state-wide juvenile delin- IILLL J PLAN quency program which is a cam- OR VYlOTH paign pledge and a plank in his FORYO IUTH platform, will combine all the in- gredients of proven efforts in this field. When Kelly was Mayor of .~ Lakeland, he developed such a program which was based on recreational and social activities, expert direction of the effort and the creation of a juvenile division in the city police department. The program was highly suc- cessful and attracted nation-wide attention when Kelly was called before the Kefauver Crime Investi- . gating Committee to explain Lakeland's success in maintaining a low degree of juvenile delin- SCOTT AND quency. LARRY LIBERTORE Kelly's juvenile control pro- gram was recommended to other U.S. cities as a model plan. As Governor, Kelly is pledged to develop this program through the Florida Children's Commission. He has asked Larry Libertore, former University of Florida star quarterback, to direct the program. Libertore is a graduate of the university with a degree in physical education, an ideal background for the type of program Kelly has in mind. Libertore expects to coordinate juvenile delinquency control efforts with the Children's Commission, Florida Sheriff's Bureau, Florida Highway Patrol and local law enforcement officials. Emphasis will be on recreational programs and supervised social activities with teen centers sponsored by local civic organizations.
