Report Says:



Gulfs Students Are About Average


Statewide Assessment Test results
were delivered to the Gulf County
School Board office on Monday of this
week. ..
According ;to Superintendent of
Schools, Walter Wilder, a preliminary
study of the eleventh grade Functional
Literacy Test scores show that Gulf
County students have followed the
same pattern as other juniors around
the state. They did well on communica-
-tion skills-93 percent passed, while
not faring so well on mathematics
where only 59 percent passed.
Wilder stressed ,in releasing the
news of receipt of the results that,
".They are very voluminous and will'


take several days to accurately assess
what they report. Our preliminary
examination of the report has only
scratched the surface".
Wilder said that the preliminary
examination shows that of, the 183
eleventh graders taking the reading
and writing assessment, 13 students
will need remedial work prior to being
.re-tested in the fall of 1978. Seventy-six
of the 185 students tested in mathema-
tics will require remediation.
REMEDIATIpON FUNDS
Gulf County has been allocated
$13,000 in compensatory education
funds which will be used to provide


intensive help for students who have,
, failed to meet standards. The School'
Board will decide early next year the
type of program to-be offered.
, Superintendent Wilder predicts
that most students who did not pass the .
first test will succeed in the subsequent
testing.
SCORES IN JANUARY
Students should be receiving indi-
vidual scores in January. Additional'
information concerning the basic skills
portion of the test administered at
grades 3, 5, 8 and 11 will be released
when time permits a more careful
analysis of the data received this week.

Meeting This Afternoon Will Put.


Teacher Problems Before Public


Some of the most emotional
public meetings ever held in
Gulf County were concerning
the public schools. A public
meeting scheduled for this
afternoon promises to be 'no
different.
The public meeting, sche-
duled for this afternoon at
5:00 p.m., in the Port St. Joe


Elementary School Library,
has been called to take the
next step in settling negotia-
tion differences between the
School Board and the Gulf
County Classroom Teachers
Association, the negotiating
body for Gulf County teach-
ers. The meeting will be open
to the general public.,


Two topics are still holding
up a contract agreement be-
tween the teachers and the
School Board. These are sal-
ary and insurance.
In a recent appearance be-
fore a Special Master, the
teachers -stated their wishes
for salary and the School
Board qualified their offer of
a three percent raise by
sharing their budget prob-
lems. (The Board is now
levying all the taxes it can
legally levy). The Special
Master recommended the
teachers take the three per-
cent increase.
The teachers, however, are
countering with a request
that they at least be paid the
average of what surrounding
counties are paying; a rate
they say is now "consider-
ably more" than Gulf teach-
ers are getting. The teachers
also claim there is money to
pay more "if instructional
salaries and benefits received
their proportionate share (of


the money available)."
The School Board is pre-
sently paying $8.00 a month
on the teachers' hospital in-
surance policy and has offer-
ed to raise the contribution to
$11.00. The teachers are ask-
ing for at least half the policy
for a single person to be
funded by the School Board,
which would amount to $14.00
under the present group plan.


Time Running Out

for Writing to Santa


It's time again for kids

As is the custom of The
Star, all letters will be
printed if they are re-
ceived in time, and then


mailed on to Santa Claus.
Just write the letters
and send them to The

Should Cover It


We read the other day where 27
fast-reading reporters sat down to
go through the recently released
FBI investigation records in the
::-case of the assassination of Presi-
dent Kennedy and barely got
':-* through half of the 40,000 page
'report after their first session with
. the papers.
S.: A report of an investigation
which covers 40,000 pages would
, seem to us that hardly a stone was
left unturned in getting at the real
- facts of the case.
Historians are still investigat-
ing the shooting of Abraham Lin-
coln over 100 years ago and still
are not satisfied with the official
report that John Wikles Booth, a
. deranged actor, did the deed on his
own volition.


Now the same dissatisfaction
reigns as to whether Lee Harvey
Oswald had some guidance in the
shooting of President Kennedy.
Some have even hinted that the
CIA may have had something to do
with the shooting.
We have not read the FBI
report, nor are we liable to wade
through its 40,000 pages. It would
seem to us that were an organiza-.
tion in back of the assassination of
Kennedy, they would have selected
someone more stable than Lee
Harvey Oswald to do the job.
We have no"doubt but what the
Cubans, the Russians, the Chinese,
or even the CIA Icould have come
up with a more competent assassin
who could do the job and never get
caught.

Bible Notes


HEBREWS 4:14-16
KEY WORD: A PLACE
TO GO
Hebrews 4:14-16 (K.J.V.)
.Seeing then that we have a
great high priest, that is
passed into the heavens,
Jesus the Son of God, let us
hold fast our profession. For
we have not a high priest
which cannot be touched with
the feeling of our infirmities;
but was in all points tempted
like as we are, yet without
sin. Let us therefore come
boldly unto the- throne of
grace, that we may obtain
mercy, and find grace to help
in time of need."
The Bible is a book of pro-
-.-mises. All Christians are
"Aware of this. But' all Chris-
tians are not, it seems, aware
that God's promises are not


empty. He has provided ful-
filment for everyone of them.
Our focal passage tells us
that Jesus is our very own'
personal high priest and He
is in Heaven right now. Be-
cause He is. in Heaven we
have access to Him for the
healing of all our infirmities.
That is our weaknesses, sick-
nesses, and needs of aff kinds.
He invites us to come
to the Throne of Grace to
receive of Him. Grace means
unmerited favor. Surely we
desire this. Mercy means
kind or compassionate treat-
ment of an offender: This
passage assures us that Jesus
wants to give us that grace
and mercy. The thing we
must do is bring our need to
Him. Praise the Lord for His
compassionate treatment of

make which was the consistency of fudge, was
golden brown in color and had a peanut butter
whang to it.
Thursday of last week, she came into the
office and set a platter down on the desk,
saying, "I brought you something". It was that
same peanut butter fudge she -made for us a
long time ago.
"It's been nearly 38 years since I have
made that candy", she said. "It's been 38 years
since I have eaten a piece of it, too", I
answered.
That was one thing which tasted the same
as I remembered it tasting from my childhood.
Few things ever do taste the same as we 1
remember them from long ago.

NBC Television rmay be sqrry they did whit
they did last week.
It came out in the papers the network was
not following custom and hiring Anita Bryant
to do the "color" on the Orange Bowl parade
this year. They felt they would get some
demonstrations or other distasteful reaction to
Anita and their telecast. In other words, they
may slip a few more steps in the ratings if
they used Anita. Anita, you know, has become
famous over the United States for being very
vocal in not wanting homosexuals to have
favored rights of secrecy over us straight
persons. She felt, as many of us do, that we
straights have rights to demand straight
persons for school teachers, coaches, youth
workers, etc., and didn't particularly like a
homosexual being crammed down our throats.
A persons sexual habits and activities have no
business being paraded before and dangled
before the'general public.
In place of Anita, the network has hired
Chita Rivera, a professional dancer, to do the
"color" for the parade.
NBC should read the papers further.#
Saturday, it was reported that Anita had been
voted by the general public as the most
admired woman in the United States. This was
made known by Good Housekeeping magazine, y
which conducts the poll each year.
I hate the move by the network. I wanted
to see the Orange Bowl Parade on TV. Now
that NBC has removed Anita for her stand on
what most of us believe, I am not going to
watch the parade. So the commercials won't be
missed by me as I get up to go to the
bathroom, or read the paper while they are on.
NBC should realize that there is more of us
than there are of them.

State's Attorney Leo Jones sort of took the
bull. by the horns, last week when he charged
the FBI and the Florida Department of Law
Enforcement with the responsibility of the four
Bay County murders in connection with the
Sandy Creek marijuana caper during the fall of
1976.
Jones charged that the two agencies set up
the smuggling operation, using Bobby Vines of
Tallahassee as their inside man, in order to
catch the smugglers in 'the act.
The thing which made Jones mad was the
fact that the agencies didn't tell the Bay
County authorities. about the operation and "
pending arrest.
Jones must have more than his own opinion
on which to base his charges. If he had no more
evidence than that, he would be some kind of a
fool.
Jones' performance over the years indicate
that he is anything but a fool.

Brisk Bike Ride

There's nothing like a brisk bicycle ride to get the juices
to flowing, but Remy Perrin, age 25, of Illiez, Switzerland is
kind of overdoing it.
Remy passed through Port St. Joe Saturday of last week
on his way around the world on his bicycle.
Remy said he has been on the road for two years on his
trip. lie expects to travel 60,000 miles in his odyssey, which
will take him a total of five years.
The trip started at his hometown. Remy rode on the
latest leg of his journey from Detroit, Michigan to Miami,
then to Port St. Joe. From here he is going to Colorado to do
some skiing. From there he will ride to California, then to
Mexico and down the Inter-American Highway to South
America.
Remy said he has worn out nine tires and three chains
and he is only half finished with his trip.

Shows Concern Over Matters


tics, as charged by the Bay
County Grand Jury, were only
for the publicity the law
enforcement agency could
get out of intercepting a drug
smuggling operation and led
to "police state tactics".
Jones/asked for Sen. Stone
to instigate some investiga-
tion into the charges made
against the FBI.
Senator Stone said he
would immediately call the
Justice Department and the
Senate Judiciary Committee
immediately after the Mon-
day meeting, inform them of
. the charges and start the
investigation wheels to turn-


ing.
In the meantime, the Sena-
tor asked for two copies of
the papers on the case to
carry back to Washington
with him when he returned
Wednesday.
On the Panama Canal trea-
ty, Stone agreed with a sug-
gestion from the.audience
that the Canal was an
"American canal in Pana-
ma". He said he would.make
a position speech on the
subject in Winter Park Tues-
day and would elaborate on
his position no further except
to say he had several sugges-

in regards to the Canal.
Stone emphasized that he
could not vote for the present
treaty for three reasons: the
treaty language is unclear,
the foreign policy regarding
the canal's future is too weak
and because the government
of Panama is too unreliable.
Probably the most emo-
tional dialogue was over the
matter of Social Security and
current plans to drastically
increase payroll deductions
to keep the system afloat.
Senator Stone replied that
an agreement has already
been made to phase up Social
Security deductions "quite
heavily", on a 50-50 basis
;with employee and employer
sharing he costs..The Sena-
'-for said he' 'ill'ask for a $1 00


for $1.00 reduction in with-
holding taxes for increased
contributions in Social Secur-
ity. "Social Security is a tax,
since you are not given the
option of whether or not to
take it, and should be handl-'
ed as a tax", Stone said.
Representative William J.
Rish said that what Congress
was proposing was only a
stop-gap. "The people are
very bitter about this", he
said. "It's not funny any
more. The people are grumb-
ling. Rather than raise the
rate to buy me more of a bad
bargain, some drastic chang-
es are needed."

are made with what's left of the roasted turkey are often as
enjoyable as the turkey itself. Turkey Curry On Rice, for
example, is perfect for a special family meal or a small dinner
party.
Diced cooked' turkey is added to a white sauce seasoned
with ground ginger and curry powder. Chopped celery and
unpared apple are added for flavor, texture and color. The
creamed turkey curry is served on hot fluffy rice with a variety
of toppings to choose from such as slivered toasted almonds,
toasted coconut, crisp crumbled bacon and chutney.

P Bettyre Palmer Powell's
L b early memories of her
mother are that of a woman
preoccupied with writing and
with a favorite saying always
on her lips.
"Wait 'til the ship comes


in," Rubylea Hall would tell

THE STAR, Port St. Joe, 1Fla. THURSDAY, DEC. 15, 1977


Novelist's Daughter Recalls Childhood


Memories Of Port St. Joe and West Florida


t
t


PAGE FIVE


By the time she was seven,
Mrs. Powell was "seriously
working" on the novel with
her mother and even took
typing lessons at the age of 11
in order to type her mother's
manuscript.
Mrs. Powell remembers-
the family couldn't often af-
ford many of the luxury
items of life but her mother
would always tell her "wait
'till the ship comes in."
First written as short story
assignments for English'
classes in college, Mrs. Hall
began compiling the stories
into novel form in 1941.
Mrs. Powell typed the.
manuscript and often offered
suggestions to her mother for
the book. In fact, she ended
up naming the main male
character of the novel, Studd
Seven, for a character in a
childhood book.
At first the family didn't
think their ship was coming
in when Mrs. Hall received
her first rejection notices
after submitting the manu-
script to publishers during


Hall's and her daughter's,
then 18, ship did come in with
the publication of her
mother's novel "The Great
Tide," which became a
nationwide best seller and
brought the family their


share of fame and fortune.
Mrs. Powell, who moved
with her family to Orange
Park from Jacksonville about
five years ago. last year
allowed the St. Joseph His-
torical Society in Port St. Joe-


answer period for students to query representatives of
various colleges concerning their program and offerings.
The special program was sponsored by the Port St. Joe
.r.-Sr. lligh Guidance Department. -Star photo


to reprint a limited edition of
3.000 copies of the novel.
But other than the recent
reprintings, there are very
few of the novel about
Florida's West Coast during
the 1830's and '40's left in
circulation.
One of a kind, "The Great
Tide" is the story of the
boomtown Gulf port of St.
Joseph (where Port St. Joe is
located today) on Florida's
West Coast.
The story focuses in 10
years of the life of tempest-
uous, ambitious Carolina
Cohran and the three men
whose lives she dominates.-
Although a fictional story,
the novel is based on histori-
cal facts about the plantation
life of the era.
She first became interested
in writing a novel about St.
Joseph as a small girl. Her
father was a circuit rider and
she would often spend time,
while, waiting for her father,
wandering through the old
cemetery at Port St. Joe,
Mrs. Powell said.
The faded, timeworn tomb-
stones with the names of the
town's early residents fasci-
nated Rubylea and she spend
many hours dreaming up
stories to go with the long
forgotten names she found.
"It became an obsession
with her," Mrs. Powell says
as she got older, her mother
began seriously researching
old records and documents
about the town which was
destroyed in the mid-1800's
by a hurricane. It was later
rebuilt under the name Port
St. Joe.
Sometime in her early
childhood, Mrs. Powell be-
came swept up in her
mother's dream of writing a
great fictional-historical
novel.

members and invited guests
are looking forward to the
annual Christmas (member-
ship) party to be held in the
home of Mrs. George Tapper,
1600 Constitution Drive, Wed-
nesday, December 21, from 4
to 6 P.M. St. Andrew Bay and
Chipola chapters, as well as a
number of prospective
members have been invited
to share in this happy event.
The honor guest for this
occasion will be Mrs. Francis
D. Campbell of Marianna,
Vice-President General
NSDAR. Mrs. Campbell was
State Regent when the
chapter was organized,
October 17, 1975, and
installed the chapter's first
slate of officers at -that time.
Mrs. Paul Fensom, Regent,
has announced that when
Mrs. Campbell was here for
the November meeting with
Mrs. John Dean Hilton who is
the present State Regent, she
signed the Chapter's charter.
This has now been framed
and will be on display at the
Christmas party.
Mrs. Fensom has also an-
nounced that the flag pre-
sented by the St. Joseph Bay
Chapter to the Corinne.Costin
Gibson Library and used for
the dedication ceremony,
October 23, has been framed
and is now on display in the
library. In memory of Mrs.
Gibson, this particular flag
has previously been flown
over the nation's capitol,
courtesy of Mrs. Jim
Fensom, who was living in
Washington at the time.
In keeping with NSDAR's
theme for 1977-78, the
chapter's theme for Decem-
ber is "CHRISTMAS, OUR
CHRISTIAN STRENGTH".
Fellowship- at DAR's Christ-
mas party will enhance that
strength, and ALL members
are urged to attend and bring
their guests.

World War II.
"There wasnt-any market
for it then," Mrs. Powell
explained. Refusing to give
up, Mrs. Hall resubmitted the
manuscript after the war and
surprisingly, had several
publishers bidding on it.
In September, 1947 the first
edition was published by
Duell, Sloan and Pearce in
New York and, within a
short time, it topped ;the best
seller's list across the
country.
Released not long after the
publication of "Gone With the
Wind." the book was com-
pared both favorably and un-
favorably to Martha
Mitchell's novel of the Civil
War South.
One favorable review said,
"What Margaret Mitchell did
for Atlanta, Rubylea Hall did
for Florida."
Mrs. Powell conceded there
is a "marked similarity" be-
tween her mother's book and
Mrs. Mitchell's and says
there is a possibility "Gone
With the Wind" could have

writing style.
But "The Great Tide" is
unique in its historical view
of Port St. Joe and the West
Coast of Florida.
Are there any more blos-'

Mrs. Powell says her oldest*

writing but then smiles and.
says, "One writer in the
family is enough."

T Tax Credits Given for Job Training


On'May 23, 1977, President
'Jimmy Carter signed the Tax
j, Reduction and Simplification
Act of 1977. This new law
gives employers a major tax
break when they hire more
workers in 1977 and 1978 and
allows employers to claim a
substantial Jobs Tax Credit
against their Federal income
tax liabilities for additional
workers they employ in each
of those two years.

The maximum credit per
additional worker is $2,100


but the actual tax savings
can range from $630 to $1.806
per worker depending on the
company's tax bracket.
The Department of Labor
is not involved in administer-
ing the Jobs Tax Credit but it
does support a variety of
services that can help em-
ployers take full advantage of
the credit.
Some programs that can
assist employers in.supplying
qualified workers to fill ad-
ditipnal openings in this .area
are: .

Don't

Drink



Drive

Anticipating a full round of
holiday parties, the Florida
Highway Patrol recently
warned would-be drinking
drivers that their chances of
being involved in a fatal
accident could double' after
that first "Double."
Colonel Eldrige Beach.
director of the Patrol said.
."'In 1976. drinking made up
8.5. percent of the contri-.
hulinp causes and was the
Ihird most important single
factor listed tor all t!pes of
accidents. Even more
striking are the statistics for
fatal- .accidents where
drinking was tfie leading
ticlnr. making up 21.9 per-
.en, 'if the contributing cir-
.umstances. Bear in mind
that these figures represent '
',l,. those cases where t io
investigating officer was.
certain 'the driver had been
drinking. There are many
instances when it is not evi-
dent that the driver was
drinking."
The figures indicate that
drinking drivers tend to be
involved.in the more serious
accidents and. according to
Reach., some special studies
have shown that at least half
of all fatal accidents involve
a drinking driver.
"Just remember." Beach
concluded. ''if you drive after
that first 'double' your.
chances of being in a fatal
accident are doubled. Why
risk your life or the life of
someone else?"

Exterior Planters Can be A Thing


of Beauty or A Big Problem


Exterior planters which
flank many contemporary
homes may represent a thing
of beauty or a problem of poor
plant choice and poor plant
health,
Perhaps the best solution in
choosing the best plantings for
planters is to plant permanent
dwarf evergreen plants which
provide year-round attractive-
ness. then supplement the
planting with seasonal flower-
ing or foliage plants for a
seasonal accent.
The home gardener will
often miss a planting date,
thus the area which is to be
accented remains void for the
season. Without permanent
plantings, the winter season
too presents a time of void for
the planter.
Over the past several years.
plant breeders have developed
outstanding dwarf plants
which are very adaptable to
limited planting areas, such
as the planter. The home-
owner has a wide selection
from which to choose, yet his
or her choice must be made
with regard to the growth
conditions of the planter, such


as whether the planter is well
drained, is it deep of shallow
and is it in the sun or shade?
Do not overplant. Allow
ample room for ultimate plant
size and eliminate later
pruning or removal of plants.
Keep the planting simple, neat
and attractive, yet avoid mo-
notony.
Due to location, some
planters are not conducive to
optimum plant production.
Those beneath overhangs of
the home receive little rainfall
and must be watered by hand.
Planters against west brick
walls absorb much summer
heat. Many planters have poor
drainage and others have very
poor soil.
The springtime gardener
who prefers an air conditioned
home to summer gardening
should choose plants which
demand very little care and
attention such as : Dwarf
nandina. yucca, dwarf yaupon
holly, lantana, daylilies,
dwarf bamboo, confederate
jasmine, liriope, coontie and
aspidistra.
The sunny planter may in-


elude: yucca, dwarf pyra-
cantha, dwarf nandina, dwarf
yaupon holly, dwarf junipers,
liriope, daylilies, dwarf pome-
granate, confederate jasmine
coontie or japanese purple
honeysuckle.
Planters in shade may be
enhanced with aucuba, fatsia,
fatshedra, Indian hawthorne,
dwarf azalea, ajuga, coontie
or holly fern.
For the planter which re-
ceives part sun and part
shade, the gardener may


" For Your C

?Ph


choose from dwarf yaupon,
dwarf hollies, Indian haw-
thorne, liriope, vinca, colt-
federate jasmine, dwarf gar-
denia, japanese black pine,
dwarf sasanqua or japanese
purple honeysuckle.
Plant choices for the planted
are numerous, yet its success
depends upon selecting the
proper plant for the existing
growing conditions. Every
planter should be attractively
planted so as to require low
maintenance at a reasonable
expense.

ahn its growing list of tragic


And this was to be the theme
of this conference-i0How can
We best serve. America? This
ppint was echoed time and


again through the whole con-
ference by an imposing array
of speakers-the list of whom
indicated the importance at-
tached-to the impact of South-
ern Republicans on the future
of the nation-wide Republi-
can movement. As it was put
bluntly on the first page of the
Conference program- "The
Future Is In the Sunbelt."

The program started Thurs-
day evening with the special
guest of the conference, Ron-
ald Reagan of California,,
speaking to an overflow crowd
stressing not how do we win,
-but "How can'we best serve
America?" Reagan was in
great form and had the.
gathering in the hollow if his
hand. He suggested that Re-
publicans might do well to
change the G.O.P. (Grand Old
Party) to the G.N.P. (Great
New Party). At the conclusion
of his talk and a handshaking
and autographing session, he
left by plane with the cheers of
the crowd ringing in his ears.

Texas gave the keynote ad-
dress,s short to the point,
stressing Ithat the job at hand
was to change G.O.P. from
meaning. Grand Old Party to
Growth - Opportunity - Pros-
perity.-Then for the balance of
the morning and afternoon
followed panel discussions,
each with a question and ans-
wer session on foreign policy,
national defense, the econo-
my, organization, fund rais-
ing, the Republican move-
ment of the future, candidate
recruitment, public relations,
strategy, and planning for
party growth.
The panels were composed
of a long list of leaders from
all over the country. They in-

tments



ary

cases are tied to the size of
food stamp allotments. Under
the regulations, income eligi-
bility ffmits rise when food
stamp allotments are in-
creased.
Assistant Secretary Fore-
man said monthly stamp allot-
ments in the continental 48
states and District of
Columbia 'will increase by at
least two dollars for all house-
holds except -single persons.
For example, the allotment
for a family of four will be
increased from $170 to. $174.
Food stamp allotments are
based on the cost of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture's
Thrifty Food Plan.
Net income cut-offs also will
be higher, except for one- and
two-person households. The
monthly nesincome limit for a
*family of Tour. f'or example,
will rise from $567 to $580.
However, the income limits
for the one, and two-person
household will not change.
These income standards ($262
and $344 respectively) will
remain at USDA's poverty
guidelines'. Food stamp regu-
lations currently in effect
require 'USDA to use either
allotment-based calculations
or the poverty guidelines,
whichever are higher, in
setting income eligibility
limits.
New food stamp legislation
recently signed by President
Carter 'changes the pro-
cedures for setting inconte
limits. The new legislation is
not yet in effect. USDA is now
developing proposed regu-
lations to implement the new
law, and plans to put it into
effect next summer.
'Th, Food Stamp Act re-
quires U.SDA to adjust stamp

All persons who have busi-
ness with social security have
the right to be represented by
the person of their choice,
according to Dave Robinson,
social security representative
for Gulf County.
This does not mean that a
person needs a -represen-
tative. Most people handle
.their social security business
themselves with the help of
the people in the social se-
curity office. But,'if a person
wishes to be represented, the
social security staff will work-
with the representative just as.
they would with any applicant..
* An attorney or any other.
qualified person can act as a
representative. If a person
prefers an attorney and needs
assistance in locating one, the
social security staff can .pro-
vide a list of legal service
organizations such as the local
bar association, the Legal Aid
Society, or similar organi-
zation that can help get legal
representation.
An attorney or other person
must be formally appointed
before he.or she can act as a
representative. A special form
for this purpose can be
obtained at the Panama City
social security office.
A representative may act
for an applicant in most social


dealings

security matters, although he
or she cannot sign a person's
application for benefits. If the
applicant wishes to appeal a
decision, the representative
may make the request. Any
notice or request sent to a
representative has the same
affect as if sent to the appli-
cant. A representative's 'au-
thority ends when the appli-
cant so requests, or when final
action is taken on the case.
Social security must ap-
prove the amount of any fee
the representative wishes to
charge. There are special
procedures to follow to have a
proposed fee approved. Com-
plete information can be
obtained at the Panama City
social security office.
Any representative who
charges or collects an un-
authorized fee for services
may be in violation of the
Social Security, Act and Sub-
ject to prosecution.
A leaflet, "Social Security
and your right to represen-
tation." contains full infor-
mation about the rules apply-
ing to representatives. Copies
can be obtained at the Pana-
ma City Social Security office,
located at 30 West Govern-
ment Street. The telephone
number is 769-4871.

Fall Fire

Safety

Reminders
With the coming of fall,
Florida's forests are a haven
for thousands of hunters,
hikers and campers enjoying
the brisk outdoors.
But the fall also means
increased fire danger in the
woods as forestlands become
dry and brittle.
The Florida Division of
Forestry, Department of
Agriculture and Consumer
Services, reminds outdoors
enthusiasts that fire safety is
everyone's business.
Overnight campers should
make sure their fires are out.
Drown them with water,
make sure all embers, coals,
and sticks are wet, and move
the rocks in case burning
coals are underneath.
Gasoline lanterns, stoves,
and heaters should be
allowed to cool off prior to
refilling. Then place them on
the ground in a cleared area
and fill.
If you have spilled any
liquid, move stove or lantern
to a new clearing before
lighting. Re-cap and store
flammable liquid container in
a safe place. Never light
lanterns and stoves inside a
tent, trailer, or camper.
For smokers- safe fire
practices require at least a
three foot clearing around
where you are sitting.
Be sure your match is out.
Hold it until charred portion
in cold. Break it before
discarding.
Remember to grind out
your cigarette, cigar, or pipe
tobacco in the dirt where you
are sitting.
It is an unsafe fire practice
to smoke while walking or
riding a horse or a trail bike.
While in your car, always use
your ash tray.
Late model cars equipped
with catalytic converters
should not be parked in high,
dry grass because heat gen-
erated by the converts can
ignite in flashy fuels.


On recommendation of the
Superintendent, motion and
second, all voted YEA to
increase per diem rates to
$35.00 per day in accordance
with State Department of
Education policy.
Will advertise for hearing
on School Board Policies to
be voted on December 6,
1977.
On motion and second, all
voted YEA to pay out-
standing bills.

To the Citizens of




Gulf County

On Thursday, December 15, 1977, at 5 P.M., there will be a Public

hearing on the teacher's contract in the Port St. Joe Elementary

School Library. The Gulf County Classroom Teacher's Association

urges you to attend and make your voice heard.



Did You Know? * *

* Gulf County's teacher salaries rank 59th out of 67 counties (BA degree
maximum experience).

Are Gulf County teachers worth less than teachers in other Florida
counties?


� The major portion of additional monies and reallocation increases is being
directed toward non-instructional areas?

Should not the priorities be toward increasing the area of instruction?


* The surrounding counties of Bay, Holmes and Washington pay their
teachers considerably more.

mum

All the above counties have school board contributions to group insurance
programs greater than what the Gulf County School Board is offering ($8.00
per month).

Every teacher in Gulf County deserves a comparable salary and insurance
benefit at least in line with those of other counties.

Sufficient new monies are available if instructional salaries and benefits
received their proportionate share.

The Gulf County Classroom Teacher's Association is interested in
improving the teaching conditions under which your children, our students,
learn.


Please attend the hearing, then decide


for yourself after hearing the facts!
