M FORTY-FIRST YEAR, NUMBER 20 Industry Deep Water Port Fine People Safest Beaches in Florida PORT ST.JOE, FLORIDA. THURSDAY, JANUARY 19, 1978 15' Per CoDV Rish Says InvestorsWish to Build -FT Surfing n Representative William J. Rish announced Tuesday evening before a joint gathering of the Port St. Joe City Commission, the Gulf County Commission and the Port St. Joe Gulf County Chamber of Commerce that a private investment, group wants to construct and operate a 120-bed nursing home in Gulf County. Rish said the investors have approached him with the idea and wanted the approval of the three bodies before making further plans for getting approval, permits, financing. etc. Rish did not say who the investors were, except to tell the group that they were involved in other operations of this type and knew what they were doing. He said they had considerable experience in nursing home operations and would bring a first class operation to Port St. Joe if things go as they are expected. Rish emphasized the fact that this, would not be a government or non-profit organization operation. "They plan to put in a first-class program where anyone can feel satisfied in becoming a patient", Rish said. The Representative said plans are now to establish a 120-bed home costing over $1 million. The facility would employ around 100 people. Rish ended his announcement by saying, "This group wants to know if you want them here. If you do, I will start work immediately to go after it.": ome In Port St. Joe Rish received the approval of all three bodies present to S.start progress on securing the home and offered whatever assistance they could give in the project. S Rish pointed out that a certificate of need must first be approved for the area before an approved nursing home Could be built here: He pointed out that other homes in the ::area were filled to capacity and that there is a need in this vicinity for such a facility. He said the developers would do the work necessary in securing the certificate of need arid any other approval they needed. JUNIOR COLLEGE ANNEX Rish also told the group that in late February or early March. he. Representative James Harold Thompson, Senator Dempsey Barron and Senator Pat Thomas would meet to lay plans to request an appropriation from the Florida Legislature to construct a sub-campus for Gulf Coast Community College here in Port St. Joe. "We'll need an appropriation of around $112 million from the Legislature to start work on the educational facility", Rish said. The Legislator pointed to the need for the facility to serve Gulf and Franklin County and to relieve campus crowding at the GCCC campus in Panama City. Rish pointed out that all members of the Legislative Delegation from Bay and Franklin counties had approved the idea and would support it in the Legislature. Rish also asked Sfor and received the support of the three bodies he was addressing Tuesday night. He pointed out' that students from Gulf and Franklin counties are driving many miles each day to attend classes at Gulf Coast. OTHER PROJECTS Rish also gave a progress report on two other projects on which he is working. He announced that within 60 to 90 days a contract for approximately $750.000 would be let to improve and increase the Sunland Recreational Park facilities on St. Joseph Peninsula. Rish said the appropriation had already been approved and plans drawn for construction of more cottages and a dining hall at the site, which provides a summer- recreation facility for all Sunland operations' in the State of- Florida. It is the only park of its kind in the state and is used heavily all summer. Rish also announced that within 60 to 90 days a contract would be let to construct a replica of the first Constitution Hall here in Port St. Joe adjacent to the Constitutioni Convention Museum. The addition will contain a replica of the signing of Florida's first constitution here in 1837. The Representative said work has also started in persuading the present Constitution Revision Committee, presently re-writing the Constitution, to hold one of its meetings in the new addition, once it is completed. City, County, Agree to Rate for Oak Grove W&S Service ! ~ ... .' L. ~ The City Commission put its final and official stamp of approval on a rate for provid- ing water and sewer service to the new Oak Grove District Tuesday night, approving a rate which had been quoted to the County Commission, the District's agent, nearly a year and a half ago. ,The Tuesday action by the Commission ratified an agree- ment made in a special session last week held by a committee representing the City and one representing the County. The two committees, composed of James B. Roberts, Wesley R. Ramsey and Clerk Mike Wright representing the City and Commissioners Everett -Owens, Jr., and Billy Branch and Financial Officer Jerry Gates representing the County came to an agreement on the charge rate. The City has offered the Oak Grove District treated water and sewer service for a mini- Smum bill of $5.76 for use of up to 4,000 gallons of water. On top of this charge will be a levy of $3.24 per customer, per month for service, main- tenance, meter reading, bill- ing, overhead and etc. The County will add a charge which has tentatively been set at $5.50 for repayment of the bonds soid to finance the system. This all comes to a total of $14.50 per month for a mini- mum bill of up to 4,000 gallons usage. All water used over the minimum of 4,000 gallons will be billed at a rate of 90c per thousand gallons of water and 54c for sewer, just as custo- mers in the City of Port St. Joe are charged. The service charge is added to the Oak Grove bills since the City underwrites most of this service in the water department with sources of revenue other than water and sewer service charges. In the agreement, the- City will furnish all supplies, bill- ing, collection and minor maintenance. The county will be responsible only for major items of repair which were defined as any repairs needing well points, heavy equipment, replacing main lines, man holes or fire hydrants. While a majority of the County Board has accepted the charge rates, the Board has not yet officially accepted the City offer. They are ex- pected to put their stamp of approval oi'ihe rates al their' next meeting, next Tuesday. FIRE DEPARTMENT E. A. Williams of St. Joe SBeach' made a request of the City of Port St. Joe Tuesday -Aight to give the new St. Joe' Beach Fire Department the City's old 1949 Dodge pumper truck for use by their depart- ment. (Continued on Page 3) Citizens Federal Had Good Year Citizens Federal Savings and Loan Association reported a good year.for both savings and loans growth during cal- endar year 1977, according to a report issued by Secretary- Treasurer Charles J. Stevens, Jr., in an annual report to the Association's Board of Direc- tors. Stevens' report showed a growth in savings deposits of $1,299,219.82 during the year and an increase in loans of $1,534,849.88. As the result of increased business, total assets for the savings association grew to $10,978,766.00, the highest fig- ure ever recorded by the association. The total finan- cial base of the association grew by $1,506,549.83. Stevens reported that the past year had been one of tremendous'activity in the residential real estate market, providing the business activ- ity which sparked the huge growth of the association. Stevens reported that Citi- zens Federal was entering 1978 in a strong financial position. After interest pay- ment to savers, operating expenses and taxes, the assoc- iation added $156,319.33 to reserves and surplus in 1977 with the reserves and surplus now totaling $1,017,349.86.

Preliminary reports, just before press time yesterday afternoon, said the bridge was opening for a passing boat as Beard approached the span in a city truck, loaded with 14 yards of clay, hauling it to Port St. Joe for the City. Beard was apparently unable to stop for some reason and hit the span just as it had opened enough to allow the cab of the big truck to go underneath the draw span. The edge of the span hit the bed of the truck and stopped it from going on over into the Intracoastal Canal. Beard, age 20, was pinned in the truck for nearly an hour after the accident. There was considerable difficulty getting rescue vehicles into position to free him, since they couldn't cross the bridge. Ambulance and rescue vehicles had to go to the scene by way of Overstreet. When the ambulance crews, Sheriff's Deputies and Florida Highway Patrol were able to get Beard free, he was taken to Bay Memorial Hospital, rather than travel the long route back to Port St. Joe. Beard's condition was unknown at press time yesterday. The truck seems to be a total loss. Cold Weather Interrupts Water Service water main break under the intersection at 14th Street and Palm Boulevard. -Star photo The cold weather which struck the City during the week end, knocked two areas out of water for part of a day. City Water Superintendent G. L. Scott said water mains broke on Sunday on Hunter Circle and at the intersection of 14th Street and Palm Bou- levard. Scott said a part of Hunter Circle was out of water for a part of a day while repairs were being made on a com- paratively routine break in the main line. The 14th and Palm break was something else again. The latter break was dis- covered Sunday afternoon, but was allowed to run during the night and next morning to keep from having to curtail water service. When workers did get into the process of fixing the pipe rupture on Monday afternoon, they had a complex problem. In order to solve the problem, water had to be shut off from most of a two block area and was kept off until dark when repairs were completed. Scott said the heavy cast iron water mains didn't freeze and burst. "The cold caused our problems though," he 'said. The veteran superinten- dent said expansion and con- tractions of the cold ground and pavement caused pres- sure on the pipes at joints and connections which caused them to snap and start leak- ing.

A suspended student is kept in school, 'by himself, with teachers to monitor his activities and see that he keeps up with his studies. He is no longer sent home to allow his studies to go lacking. Several problems face the school system, Wilder said. Among these are financial problems. "The state has come up with a new funds dis- tribution formula based on liv- ing costs, tax base, etc., which cost Gulf County over $1 mil- lion during the past 3 years", Wilder said. "Since we are already at the maximum mill levy, this reduction of funds hurts us drastically", he said. Another problem is reduced enrollment. Wilder laid this By ^^./pir'A ....... Ej T - There are things which have disappeared from the everyday scene which I don't see how we are doing without. Take the common, wooden spool in which sewing thread is wound for marketing. The other day, while doing some work in the make-up department here at The Star, I discovered the spool in the scotch tape dispenser at my make-up station was missing. It was missing because someone had come in to purchase the last dispenser we had on the shelf and that particular dispenser was without a spool. So, I took the spoolout of mine and sold the new one. But now the problem is how to get a new spool for my dispenser. I asked Frenchie to order me one in the next office supply order and she said they are practically impossible to get. Previous tries (to get a spool for the one missing on the shelf) had met with no success at getting extra spools. Then, a spotlight came on over my head, much the same as in the comic strips, and an idea struck like thunder in my hard head. "There's no need to wait around for a new spool", I pondered: "The dispenser spool is about the same size as a wooden thread spool. Just find you an empty one and cut it. down." There's no such thing anymore. I pawed through Frenchie's sewing box at home ... no spools. I asked the daughters and daughters-in-law about an empty spool .. no spool. They are all now made of plastic. What a pity. Has the spool gone the way of the wooden cigar box? There's another "cigar store Indian." A wooden thread spool used to be a valuable Pittman On Stetson Roll Four hundred and fifty-one undergraduate students were listed on the Honor Roll for the fall session at Stetson Uni- versity, according to Helen Sassard, acting registrar.

Port St. Joe Elementary School is down from 900 to 620 and Port St. Joe High School has fallen from 900 to 640. "The only school with an increased enrollment in the county is the Wewahitchka Elementary School and their increase is very small", Wil- der said. "We have our problems", Wilder said, "but with the support and help of our staff, faculty and the people of the county, we feel they can be overcome after a period of time." f'II SbIR D ibtJ/ A7 '4 '. 2 WESLEY R. RAMSEY and much-sought-after item when I was boy. We used to sit around for hours, when a spool was getting low in thread around our house, waiting for Mama to throw the spool away. You could do so many things with an empty wooden thread spool besides make a new spool for a scotch tape dispenser. One of my favorites, from a wooden thread spool, was to take a pocket knife (we always had one back then) and cut notches along each of the raised edges. Then, we would get lucky and find a strong rubber band or two weaker ones. Put this with a half match stick and a whole match stick and a small piece of soap and you had a self-propelled wheel. The rubber band went through the hole in the spool, with the short match stick (shorter than the diameter of the spool) stuck through the loop on one side. On the other side, a sliver of soap or paraffin was slipped over the other end of the rubber band and the long match stuck just through the loop in the rubber band, with the long end of the stick dragging. To make the contraption go, you held the short match stick still and twisted the long one. When the rubber band is wound up tight, sit the thing down on the floor, with the long end of the match stick touching the floor behind the spool. The unwinding rubber band will propel it along. It makes a fine toy. Especially if it is all you can get your hands on or afford. It amazed me this year to see the letters written to Santa Claus. The kids seemed to have the toy sections of the catalogs memorized and asked for about everything advertised in the papers, catalogs and on TV. They asked for dolls, bikes, guns, games, balls, etc. Not a single empty thread spool. I wish the wooden thread spool and the wooden cigar box would make a dramatic come-back in our society. I think the kids of today are missing something if they have never made a rubber band truck out of a spool or nailed one on each corner of a wooden cigar box to make a hauling truck. One of the main reasons I go into St. Joe Hardware on occasion is for.a nostalgic look at the old wooden cigar boxes Cecil Costin still clings to in order tq keep things in, such as tickets, change, parts, nails, screws, receipts, etc. Many a business, in days gone by, has been run out of empty wooden cigar boxes. The new paper ones are too flimsy. You can still see one doing yeoman duty on occasion. But, I don't know where I can go to find a wooden thread spool still being used or saved. L THE STAR, Pot St. Joe, Fla. THtURSDIAY, JAN. 19. 1978 * -PAGE TWO THE STAR. Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY, JAN. 19, 1978 PAGE THREE Williams told the Commis- sion that the Gulf County Board had recognized them as a fire department and had offered to help them get into operation. City Commissioner James B. Roberts said the County has purchased trucks for other fire departments throughout the county but has not done so for the City of Port St. Joe. Roberts said, "I would not favor giving our truck away but might consider letting them use it for a period of time Until they can get some other equipment". The Commission went along with Roberts' reasoning and S agreed to allow the Depart- ment to use the truck for six months provided they would S repair a leak in the water tank and get the vehicle insured. Representative William J. Rish said\ the new fire de- Spartment should have some Surplus Forestry Service equipment available for use_ by that time. ORDINANCE The last reading was held Tuesday night on the revised dog ordinance for the City, and unanimously approved by the Board. The ordinance, in effect, assesses a charge of $5.00 on any loose dog captured by the dog catcher, with a $2.00 per day charge placed against the. dog for each day he is held in the pound. The ordinance 'defines a stray dog as any dog which is roaming free without any restraint or supervision by its owner. OTHER BUSINESS In other business, the Com- mission: -A bid to furnish a new bar screen for the Wastewater Treatment Plant was awarded to Panama Truss and Com- ponents in the amount of $18,670.24. -Another bid to supply a steel tank for the WWP was awarded to Panama Machin- ery and Supply Company in the amount of $4,427.00. -Panama Machine was also the successful bidder at a price of $3,990.87 to furnish .sprinkler heads and piping for an irrigation system for the new softball fields behind the High School and to extend the irrigation system in the me- dian of Fifth Street. -Kent Electric of Port St. Joe was the low bidder at $1,445.00 to furnish heaters for upstairs rooms in the City Hall. Require Proof of automobile in- .:surance will be required at the time of renewal of a tag, instead of motor vehicle in- spection beginning January 1, said the Florida Highway Patrol. Colonel Eldrige Beach, director of the Patrol said,' "The new law transfers from the inspection station to the tax collector's office the re- sponsibility to check for insur- ance coverage, either per- sonal injury protection or liability coverage." Whether a tag is renewed at the tax collector's office or by mail, proof ofinsurance must be presented .either by in- surance ID card, policy or binder. Colonel Beach concluded by saying, "If an individual does not maintain the required insurance coverage, the De- partment of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles is re-, quired to suspend all his tags dforTag and his driver license. The smart motorist will maintain required insurance and be able to prove it."

It was really sur- prising how respectful and quiet the student body was throughout the entire thing. The unit received a grade of 95 and an "Outstanding" rating. Not bad. The Wrestling team had a match during school Thursday i and played before a packed house. I'm not sure whether, the high attendance was due to enthusiasm for wrestling or because anybody who had a ticket to the wrestling match got out of 6th period.

In his reminiscence, Mr. :'apper highlighted some of ifhe early history of the area 'and of the Catholic church. The first Catholic mass in Port St. Joe was said in the Comforter Funeral Home building,' which was then the home of Mr. Tapper's parents, Capt. and Mrs. Robert Tap- per. George said he had the opportunity to go to school at the age of four, because the schoolteacher felt sorry for George's mother, who couldn't keep him out of the sand bed in front of their home. The teacher volunteered to take George off her hands during school hours. At that time, there were several denominations repre- sented in St. Joe; there were some *Baptists, Metho- dists, Presbyterians and Catholics. None of the congre- gations had resident pastors, arid were serviced by Panama City and Apalachicola mini- sters. :"There has always been rel- igious harmony in St. Joe, because everyone attended services at whatever church happened to have a pastor for that Sunday, whether it be Baptist, Catholic or Metho- dist," said Mr. Tapper. Music for the religious com- munity was provided by a quartet: Denver Miller, repre- senting the Baptists, Silas (Micky) Stone representing the Methodists, Harold Smith, the Presbyterians, and George Tapper, the Catholics.

Convenient Service facility was built in 1959, was erected in 1925, at the cost of $3,000. The bishopat that time, Bishop Allen, donated $1,500 for the construction, and the remainder was raised by four members of the community. One of the most interesting stories told concerned Mr. Tapper's first job, that of a soda jerk, ,in drugstore, which was located across the street from Lawson's Hotel. "Every Sunday afternoon, a young 'blade from Apalachi- cola drove over in his road- ster as he was courting one of ou- St. Joe belles. They would drive up to the drugstore, and in those days, you had curb service. Every Sunday they would order the same thing, two .banana splits. As I set their tray on the side of the car, he always put a quarter on the tray, 10 cents each for the splits, and a nickel tip for me. You may not think a nickel tip is much, but in those days, it was a lot. Those two were Ida Ethel Kilbourn and Charles Browne. And they were the first couple married in the new church building, 49 years ago." The meeting was enjoyed by all in attendance, and con- cluded with a short business meeting. New members wel- comed into the Garden Club were Alice Kunel and Mabel Trollop. Hostesses for the covered dish luncheon were Helen Baldwin and Shirley Ramsey.

THURSDAY, JAN. 19, 1978 PAGE FIVE Reflections of Life In :Port St. Joe In Past Year By Shirley Ramsey "It has always been my dream to come to the United States ever since I was a small child, and it has been the best money I've ever spent coming here," says Diana Mon- Steiro, a 17-year- old Brazilian exchange student. Iliana's opportunity to visit the United States came when she passed tests in Brazil making her eligible~i-bpan exchange studenK After sending out resumes of herself to ex- change programs all over the United States, and re- ceiving resumes from them, she chose Port St. Joe as her host city. Mrs. Frances Chason ad- ministers the exchange program for Port St. Joe, and liana is one of three Brazilian students who have visited here. The, other two students left for home after a l"ew months here. In.talking with Iliana earlier this week, she was reluctant to go home. "In the year I've been here, everyone has been so nice to me, I've grown to love the people, the town and the United States. I've made so many friends, and I hate to leave them. "Mrs. Minnie Howell, my hostess, has been so won- derful to me that I call her 'Mama'. My thanks to her for opening her home so graciously and warmly to me for the past year." Iliana left on, her trip' back to Sao Paulo, Brazil, yesterday (Wednesday), and will bewelcomed home by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Geraldo Monteiro. Her father is president of the restaurant and broad- casting unions of Brazil. "One of the biggest things I liked about Port St. SJoe. was the -warmth of A feeling in a small town, knowing everybody. My hometown, Sao Paulo, the largest port,' n Brazil, has nine million' people, and looks much like Miami Beach." Asking her to compare the two countries, here are Local Girl Becomes A Librarian Many in town remember Noe Smith; a young girl filled with giggles and laughter who graduated back in 1969 from PSJHS. She's still the same .giggly person, even though she is now head librarian at Berrian Country Library in Nashville, Ga. Those who remember Noe Snow she isn't the type you usually associate as thelib- rarian type, whose only goal in life is order through the Dewey Decimal System. Noe, complete with swinging pony- tail and bluejeans, presides over the. County Library, located near Macon, Ga.. Noe, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Smith of Port St. Joe, is a homemaker, in addition to her duties as a librarian. She is married to Walt Dickson, and is the mother of a first-grader, Jen- nifer. She attended Valdosta State College, where she majored in art. She is also a member of the First Metho- dist Church of Nashville, and is active in the Nashville Woman's Club.

Brazil and the United States are both large coun- tries (Brazil has 150 mil- lion people) and have dif- ferent cultures in various parts, just as the Nortl and South differ in the U.S. "The role of women is very different. Women in Brazil can be professional people, but when they mar- ry, they are expected to stay home and care for their families. Young girls are freer to date here; at home my. parents would ask, 'Who is he, who are his parents, what'does he do, etc., etc." Schools in both countries offer basically the same curriculum, but the way -.they're offered is differ- ent.-In Bi courses a year are"taiken, five each day. You must pass at least 10 of these to pass; if nht, you have to repeat the entire year, not-just the courses you failed..

She has served as director of Elementary Edu- cation at Evangel College in Springfield, Missouri, and served as Minister of Educa- tion at Evangel Temple in Montgomery, Alabama for one year. She spends much of her time in writing and speak- ing engagements throughout the United States. Mrs. Harrison's motto for. all her meetings.is "Only Jesus is supernatural and only He can do the supernatural." S. had to post a $1,000 bond ,"" before I could get my visa, and have proof of my ac- ceptance here at Port St. Joe High School. If I did not return, the authorities would use my bond to look for me, and return me to Brazil. The only way I could remain here would be *to marry." She pointed out that this Criteria only existed for non-professionals: ;a pro fessional person who has a job opportunity in the Unit- ed States is free to leave Brazil.

By Billy Norris Bible Notes KEY WORD: SEEK, FIND The word "seek" as found in Sour focal passage has a decep- tively powerful meaning. It's a word that holds promise and excitement to everyone who Will act on it. Jesus is talking in Matthew 6::33 and 7:7. (6:,33) "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His right- ,dousness, and all these things shall be added unto you." S(7:7) "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be ,:. opened unto you." S,':".-Seek is a command word .and unless acted upon is use- Sless. Jesus is telling us to look for the kingdom of God. Let's look at Deuteronomy 4:29. It says, "But if from ' thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all S thy heart and with all thy 'soul." The-word of God says if we start from where we are now (thence) and in truth (heart and soul) seek the Lord we SHALL find Him! He doesn't play tricks. He wants, us to find Him. Of course these Verses are talking about sal- "Savingou money. That's Reason No. 1 why we should do your taxes." Henry W. Block We are income tax specialists. We ask the right questions. We dig for every de- duction and credit. ....'muit to leave no stone unturned to make sure you pay the small- Sest legitimate tax. HaR BLOCK THE INCOME TAX PEOPLE 116MONUMENTAVE. PHONE 229-8536 vation but they are also talk- ing about more. God has pro- mised to supply every need and good desire we have. The condition? Seek God first, start from there and allow God to fill our lives. At every level of the Junior Miss program, local, state and national, the presentation of scholarships is basic. The Florida finals competition will reward the 1978 Florida Junior Miss with her choice of a full tuition' scholarship to any Florida university, Hunting- don -College in Montgomery, Ala., or Columbia College in Missouri. Each of the four runners-up will win a 50 percent tuition scholarship to Columbia College as well as savings bonds. All state finalists will be awarded a one-third tuition scholarship to Huntingdon Grid Schedule The Sharks have four games on their schedule for the coming week, all but one of which will be on the road. Friday night, the Sharks tra- vel to Chipley. Monday night, they go to Apalachicola and then to Wakulla on Tuesday night. Next Thursday night, the team will be at home to Wewahitchka.
