IKHE STA Industry Deep Water Port Fine People Safest Beaches in Florida PORTST.JOE,FLORIDA THURSDAY, MAY 4. 1978 m m 15' Per Copy After Years of Decay Old City Docks to be Refurbished For years the docks and warehouse at the end of First Street, on St. Joseph Bay have been allowed to decay and lapse into a state of dis-repair from non-use and neglect. At the present time, the dock is unusable for berthing ships to unload or load cargo and the warehouse is in a state of bad repair. The warehouse was sold several years ago and was never used to any great extent, so it was allowed to .deteriorate. Recently, McKenzie Tank Lines purchased the property and is now making plans to repair the dock and put the facility back into the business of shipping and receiving cargo. This past week end, the firm of Jordan Industries, Inc., of Ozark, Alabama and Destin, Florida secured a building permit from the City of Port St. Joe in the amount of $288,000 to begin putting the docks back into useable condition. Jordan is under contract to McKenzie to do the con- struction work. : When the docks began to decay several years ago, shipping was stop- ped at this point and moved to the St. Joe Paper Company docks where the occasional cargoes, other than paper, were handled. Now, with a prospect of increased water shipping from Sylva- chem and Basic Magnesia, of Port St. Joe and a prospect of inland shippers using the local port, the refurbishing of the old dock is necessary. Over the years, neglect, storms and natural decay has taken its toll. The steel sheet piling of the dock is practically all rusted and rotted away. A large portion of the dock has eroded into the water and the concrete loading ramp broken off and fallen into the bay. In spots, the erosion extends under the old dock all the way back to the warehouse. EXTENSIVE REPAIRS According to representatives of the construction firm, which' will begin work on or about the 15th of this month, the reconstruction project will include putting the docks back into the same shape they were before the erosion process began. There will be new piling, put down, new fill and a new concrete loading apron poured. No indication was given as to how long the re-construction project would take.

Tuesday Is Election Day In City Tuesday seems to be coming up as a typical election day in Port St. Joe not much interest from the citizens. One of the two Commission posts to be decided on Tuesday is no contest, with Commis- sioner James B. Roberts going back into office for another two-year term with no opposi- tion. In another race, Commis- sioner Gerald Sullivan will be 'j seeking his third term in office and will be opposed by John Robert Smith, a retired drug- gist, and a three-term com- missioner of years past. The polling will all be done in the City Fire Station, with the polls to be open from 7:00 a.m., to 7:00 p.m. r The County sent the City an e .agreemen)t..document.

All. the Kiwanians will be on hand Saturday to serve breakfast and conduct a giant Garage Sale '(That's an appropriate title since the building in which they will be operating was formerly a Pontiac agen- cy here in Port St. Joe.) The Kiwanians will' serve their pancake plates, along with sausage or bacon, and coffee until 10:00 a.m., when they will once again put Ken Herring's four-year-old piece of fatback, used to grease the griddle, back in the deep freeze until iext year. Beginning at 10:00 a.m., the Kiwanians will become more diversified with their culinary offerings and dish up old- fashioned 'ice cream cones, hamburgers, hot dogs and cold drinks while they con- tinue with their big Garage Sale. The club members have been busy for the past month collecting unwanted treasures and now have a building full of everything from stereos to knickers to place in a more appreciated home. The Kiwanis Club is natur- ally hoping to raise a lot of money with their project, most of which they spend each year on their Key Club and Keyette operations as well as many other youth oriented projects in the community. Special entertainment has been arranged for the affair, with the Port St. Joe High School Band scheduled to perform for an hour beginning at 11:00. Just before the band plays, the Elementary School Glee Club will begin a song period at 10:00. The Kiwanis invites every- one to come and get their bellies full, enjoy some good music, and browse through the piles of good merchandise they have managed to gather up. Rish Short-Stops Big Increase In Truck Fines Rep. William J. Rish, D- Port St. Joe, has vowed to fight a proposal that would drastically increase fines im- posed on log and pulp wood trucks caught overweight. In a surprise move before the House Appropriations Committee, of which Rish is a member, an amendment was approved that would have raised' the fines in some instances by as much as 500 percent. Rish termed the proposal "a terrible piece of legislation. SWe've got to stop it." Rish said he opposed the measure be- cause "it would hit the hardest working of our citizens. In many instances those are the same citizens who can least afford it." Shortly after the bill was approved, Rish succeeded in a motion to have the bill recon- sidered and left pending. Rish hoped his action would leave the proposal in limbo until it is too late for it to be approved by the full Legislature. "I think this kills it for another year," he said. "At least I hope so-" j Cycle, Car, Crash At Beach State Crime Report Show City, County, A Safe Place Shannon Cottrell, age 30, of Overstreet suffered leg injuries in a cycle-auto collision Monday afternoon at St. Joe Beach. According to Florida Highway Patrol Trooper Herschell Hill, Cottrell was riding his cycle west on Highway 98 when Miss Jamie Robin Bailey, age 20, pulled out of Coronado Street, making a left turn onto Highway 98, and pulled into the path of Cottrell's cycle. The cycle struck the car in the left front fender, throwing Cottrell from his machine. Cottrell received several cuts, bruises and abrasions and was taken to the hospital by Gulf County Volunteer Ambulance Service with what was suspected to be a broken left leg. It was found, on examination, that the leg was only bruised and ankle. badly sprained in the In the photo at left, Ambulance Service volunteers C. L. Sylvester, with the aid of County Commissioner Bill Branch (back to camera) make Cottrell ready for the ride to the hospital. In the photo above, Gulf County Sheriff's Deputies James Mock (kneeling) and Ray Watson, examine the two damaged vehicles. Trooper Hill said he was filing charges of violation of right of way against Miss Bailey. He was assisted in his investigation of the incident by Sheriff's Deputies James Mock, Ray Watson and Guy White. Statistics released by the State of Florida this week, show that Gulf County is a pretty safe place in which to live, if a person is trying to get away from crime centers. According to the report, released annually by the State of Florida, there were only 57 major crimes com- mitted in the City of Port St. Joe last year. Of these crimes, one was for mur- der two assaults, 24 burg- laries, 23 larcenies and one auto theft. While the biggest num- ber of crimes were stealing other people's property, it was dangerous to do this. Solution of crimes commit- ted in the City was 43' percent, a good percent- age. The County also had a low crime rate and had 44 percent of the crimes com- mitted, cleared. The report shows that throughout the county there was one murder, 38 assaults, 66 breaking and entering, 78 larceny cases and six auto thefts. Overall, the crime index figure for Port St. Joe (crimes per 100,000 people) was 1,201, while in the county, the same index was rated at 1,710. A pretty safe place to live and a pretty good rate of apprehending those who break the law. FORTY-FIRST YEAR, NUMBER 35 - X.- I -- C ';'o: I f PAGE TWO THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla.

The days we have been 'experiencing for the past few weeks make it easy to see why people who don't live here save their money all year long to come and spend a week or two here. And we get to use it all .year long, for free. Maybe it is still just a bit chilly 'o go in swimming at the beach, but that, too, is one of the beauties of Northwest Florida and what makes it so attractive to those of us who live here and the fortunate ones who visit periodically. One can find so many things to do, other than swimming, to make the day one of perfect joy and relaxation. E. E. Calloway, up' in Bristol spent a good many years of his long life touting his Garden of Eden, north of Bristol as the garden spot of the world. We think this description could be applied to all of Northwest Florida, and especially to this part of Northwest Florida. The amount of construction now under way and built during the past few years in our beaches area gives evidence to the fact that more and more people are beginning to agree with us. They are coming here in droves and spending their money in millions. Now, for the punch line. As long as we have such a choice section of God's real estate at our disposal and for our use, why don't we take better care of it? One of the easiest and most pleasing ways we can take care of it is to take our trash home with us and dispose of it properly. You thought you would see an editorial here without a punch to it, -.didn't you. For years we have wished for activity at our docks and increased water shipment activity in and out of Port St. Joe. To put it in a lesser number of words, we wanted the Snew industry which water shipment could give us. It looks now as if some of this desire is 'coming to a reality. Last week end a construction firm, Jordan Industries, Inc., of Ozark, Alabama and Destin, Flor- ida, secured a building permit at City Hall to rehabilitate the old City Docks in front of the old City Warehouse. These docks have been in dis- repair for many years due to non- use. To learn that they will be replaced and repaired must un- doubtedly mean they are going to be used, since one doesn't work on docks for peanuts. It will cost a lot of money to put these docks back into shape. We welcome the news that some work is going to progress in this area. Now, if the Port Authority can come up with some plans to further increase our waterfront activity, we will see things start to hum here in Port St. Joe. Something humming is long overdue. da isher Supt. lager better 7.50 9.00 hold ord Ins. ~~~~1 ~ 4~~~~i~l A'-..' rP *In Expanding Water Services A new four-inch water line is being laid this week to the rear area of the Port St. Joe High School. The line is being installed to supply better water service to the rear section of the school property, where expansion is taking place, calling for a need for a better water supply. The area is now the location of a new football practice field, weight house, two softball fields and other recreational facilities. The line also fur- nishes increased fire protec- tion for the school complex. :.'* , Letters to the Editor. ... Asking for Help to Save Old Capitol Dear Editor, I would like to urge you and your readers to become in- volved in efforts to save our A Layman's View old State Capitol Building. The 1978 legislative session may soon decide the fate of By Billy Norris Bible Notes LEVITICUS 26:3-5 and 12 (King James Version) KEY WORD: PATIENCE Verse 3, "If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my com- mandments, and do them;" Verse 4, "Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land .shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit." Verse 5, "And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage (har- vest),. and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely." Verse 12, "And I will Walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people." It seems that I am contin- ually required to be patient. Often times, I tell the Lord I've been patient just about to the end of my patience. I know many of you feel the same way. However, we must be patient to grow up, patient to graduate, patient to find our place in life. The above scripture talks about patience. To "walk in his statutes" takes time, pa- tience. Verse 4, "Then I will give you rain (blessings) in due season ."; again patience. Then after the rain- blessing comes the increase of the land, the fruit trees, and (Verse 5) the threshing, the harvest, and on to the sowing time again, means PA- TIENCE. Even to "dwell safe- ly" patience is required. But then comes reward time in Verse 12, "And I (God) will .walk among you, and will be YOUR GOP, and YE shall be my people." God is good and His way is not cheap. It requires obedience to patience among other things. If His way were cheap it would not be worth having. But, Praise the Lord, His way is worth everything!

There are many reasons for saving the old Capitol. It is the oldest re- maining capitol buildings in the nation. Construction on the building was begun in 1839 when Florida was still a territory. It narrowly escaped destruction in the Civil War. Every legislative and execu- tive officer has served under this famous dome and symbol of our state government. Prior to 1911, the State Supreme Court also met here. . More than historic factors support preservation and res- toration of the Old Capitol Building. The. economic reasons for restoring the building are sound. The old Capitol contains nearly 200,000 square feet of space, most of which can be retained. The building is structurally sound with a large portion of it constructed since 1937. The state currently leases more than one million square feet of office spacein the Tallahassee area at an annual cost in excess of five million dollars. A cost of three million dollars is estimated to tear down the old Capitol and build a small park. By renovating this build- ing and utilizing this space, the.state could substantially reduce its rental costs. Florida has so few histori- cally significant buildings re- maining and I believe it would be a real tragedy to destroy this important link to Flori- da's past. Only public concern expressed to elected repre- sentatives will save our old Capitol for future generations. Sincerely, John L. Mica State Representative District 39 Says License Suspension Law Practice Is Unfair to Drivers A driver (in Florida)- to' accumulate twelve (12) points with a twelve (12) month period will have his driver's license suspended for thirty (30) days. After the thirty day suspension the driver does not get his license back, he has got to go take another complete test to obtain a driver's li- cense. He has no license after his suspension! Suspension means your driver's license is temporarily .withdrawn. My personal' opinion of this is the Depart- ment of Highway Safety and Motor VWhicles should send the suspended license back to the driver promptly after his suspension. I also think the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehikles has Asks for Generosity In Mental Health Drive Dear Editor: Today we know that men- tal illness can be prevented in many cases.

The word is that the picture magazine which was the king of that type publication back in the '30's through the '60's will be back on the news stands in October, according to Time-Life Publications. I'm glad to hear it. I always enjoyed Life each week. Knowing just how seldom it is that a person happens to be at the right particular place, with the proper camera, film and lighting equipment to get a picture of news as it happens always made me study the pictures in Life in awe. How could a person be so perceptive as to be in the proper situation at just the right time to get most of the important happenings of the day on film? An unposed picture always makes the best picture and to get an unposed picture takes extraordinary luck or the patience of Job. All you have to do in most places is just show up with a camera and almost immediately, everyone starts posing, whether they realize it or not. And, being on the spot as the best pictures are being presented for the photographer in any given situation is no small task. When you get your new copy of Life in October, look at the pictures, and wonder how the photographer managed to get the expres- sions and actions he did. I SAW IN THE CHATTAHOOCHEE NEWS last week where my little brother, Will, quipped that he had mailed in his income tax check right on the deadline. This must run in the family, since mine went off at the last day, on the last mail, at the last possible moment to make the last mail. Will's little quip said he had mailed a check with his return and mumbled a little bit about how he wished he could have the privilege of throwing his hard-earned money away without having Washington do it for him. I'm concerned about little brother. I thought he was doing well and making a decent living up there in Chattahoochee, running the Twin City News. He must be in financial trouble, though. Anyone who can manage to write a check for his income tax all in one check must not be making enough money to live on properly, I'm going to investigate the matter. We may have to take up a collection, apply for food stamps or arrange a Care package for him. PRAISES BE! We have all mis-judged Soviet President Leonid I. Brezhnev. Here we all drew the assumption that Leonid was urging President Carter to scrap plans for development of the neutron bomb so he could get ahead of the United States in the arms race. That isn't the reason at all. We have it on no less authority than the word of Leonid himself. He has said, in public, for print: "I can inform you that we have taken the president's statement (to look before he leaps at development of the bomb) and that we, too, will not begin production of neutron arms so long as the United States does not do so." Isn't that a comforting thought? I guess if you don't have such a weapon it's -easy to say you're in favor of not seeing it developed. BILLY JOE RISH keeps getting accolades in the papers about how effective and respected he has been and just how much the Legislature is going to miss him, since he has announced that he will not be a candidate for re-election this fall. all of the praise has been deserved, in our way of looking at the situation. To show you how solid Billy Joe is in his attitude and philosophy, I'll bet you that the praise and accolades do not change his mind and cause him to decide to seek election once again. It would be the easiest thing in the world to do to succumb to the ground-swell of respect which is coming his way and bend to the desire to run again. I'm betting he won't do it, even though he would win by a land-slide. I'll tell you now, that would be one bet I wouldn't mind losing, but I know I won't. SHERIFF KEN MURPHY told a good joke at the Rotary Club last Thursday, to introduce his remarks to the club. Murphy said there were these two members of an ethnic race, which shall remain unmention- ed here, walking down the street.

APPLY FOR STUDY The City Commission made an official request to the Federal Government for a 201 study to be made in the water and sewer department of the City and west of the city all the way to the Bay County line. The City has been asked to make the study by the Federal Government in the area of its water and sewer services; especially in the areas of the Wastewater Treatment Plant -operation. The extended study to the beaches is to make a study of the feasibility of extending water and sewer services to this area, utilizing the City facilities. There has been a request from Beach residents to the County to make the services available, but the initial cost of treatment plants have pushed the projects to the distant future. The 201 Study would study the advisabliity of serving the needs of the Beaches from the Port St. Joe central plants. OLD THEATRE In a recent meeting, it had been agreed to notify the owners of the old theatre building that the marquee was getting into dangerous condi- tion and needed attention. City Clerk Mike Wright reported to the Commission that the letter had been sent and Mayor Frank Pate re- marked that the old building had been sold this past week, but that the letter notice would still apply. Wright said the new owners had been notified of the action of the Commis- sion. Pate said he didn't know, what plans the new. owners had for the building.

PlantAnnuals for Summmer Color Annual flowers that provide bloom poon after planting offer the Florida gardener an inexpensive source of garden color for the summer months. Some can be planted right where you want them to bloom for rich displays of color. : Florida's hot'and rainy sum- mers are tough on many varieties of annuals but other Seem to thrive on the heat. So, with this important consider- action in mind, here's a selec- tion of three colorful and Relatively carefree summer annuals. Marigolds. The wide selec- tion of marigolds offers the Gardener a real treat. Culture is very easy, as heat, drought and pests are tolerated well be S these flowers. Plants thrive in : un or partial shade. You can grow marigolds from seed S which sprout in a few days or from started plants available at garden shops. New varie- ties bloom in two months and continue to flower for several ,months. Marigolds are ex- cellent for flower borders and 'for edging if dwarf varieties S are used. They also make fine i cut flowers, especially types with odorless foliage. Check your seed catalog or garden store for the newest marigold varieties. S Portulaca or rose-moss is / hard to beat for summer gardens. It is a favorite flower f" for edging, borders, rock gar- Sdens and in window boxes. The :small plants form a ground -over of bright rose-like flowers in white, yellow, orange, rose and red colors. .Flowers are single or double, one to two inches across. You an sow the tiny seed directly 'where you want plants. Plant Zon a well-drained site in full .'sun and do not overwater. Seed sprouts in a few days and plants flower in several S jnonths. Flowers only open fully when in bright sun and 'plants bloom for only a few. weeks. For continuous color' :all summer, you might want to sow seed each month. Try i:prtulaca in that dry area of :poor soil where few other :flowers thrive and you'll be 'surprised how well this small :flower grows. SAnother summer toughie is :celosia, commonly called :cockscomb. These old- :fashioned favorites come in :two forms- crested and Splumy. Both forms grow well -in hot summer months and .can be planted by seed or as "transplants. Seed germinate -in a week and plants will bloom when two months old. Colors include pink, purple, orange, yellow and red on dwarf or tall plants. The large crested varieties have flower heads measuring ::'six-ten inches.across. Plumed varie- ties are spectacular in form and provide a dramatic dis- play of garden color as well as unusual cut flowers or dried bouquets.

THURSDAY, MAY 4, 1978 Typical Day In the Life of A Small Town Sheriff Ladies Give 100 Hours of Service S Richard Zyski, second from left, Municipal Hospital Administrator, is shown presenting pins to members of the Hospital Auxiliary last Wednesday afternoon. The pins were in recognition of the contribution of 100 or more hours of service by each member who received it.

A man with 150 hives of bees moves into a settled area out in the county and his 150 hives of bees are making life miser- able for his neighbors ... and now, for the Sheriff. Horses getting loose and running through yards; roost- ers crowing at the wrong time of day or night and dogs roaming freely. A woman saying, "My hus- band is crazy and he's after me with a gun". Both woman and man turn on any officer who tries to interfere. Man phoning in and com- plaining, "My wife is drunk and has run off with the baby". Gulf County Sheriff Ken Murphy said all of these calls came into his office within a period of 30 minutes one morning last week. "It's typi- cal", he said, "Of a day in the Sheriff's office where there are too many calls to answer with too few men, working too many hours." Sheriff Murphy said his goal is to reach a point where his men may work a 40 hour week. "We're now down to 50 hours a week, unless an emergency arises". Sheriff Murphy said his office now, offers coverage 24 hours a day in both ends of the county. "This has not only given better protection to our peo- ple, but it has decreased our travel mileage by 20 miles per man a week. This means a savings of taxes." Sheriff Murphy said he doesn't get' out of the office as much as he would like due to a shortage of manpower, but that he has made the time to carry on a program in the schools aimed at fostering obeying the law. "We think it is having some effect", he said. Murphy also said his office has initiated alcohol rehabili- tation and church services for I h. 4 p Career Award Presented to Raffield's e Each year the Florida Career Development Associa- tion (FCDA) presents awards for outstanding contributions to Career Development.

MAY 4, 1978 PAGE SEVEN i Local Players Lead Livingston Three young men from Port St. Joe have been early lead- ers for Livingston University's (Livingston, Ala.) baseball team. Two brothers, Kenny and Denzil Weimorts are top hit- ters on the squad with .400 plus batting averages, and Keef Pettis, a walk-on freshman pitchers has been the top on the Tiger mound staff through- out the early goings of the season. The Livingston University Tigers' record stood at 16-9 recently. As a team the Tigers are hitting .318. Kenny Weimorts heads up the Tiger hitters with .431. Brother Denzil is close behind with a .424 average. Denzil leads in home runs for the team, and Kenny leads 1Rish Proposes Transport Cash for Jr. C( In a move to ensure that community college students in rural counties will not be denied their educations for lack of adequate transporta- tion, Rep. William J. Rish helped insert into the House appropriations bill money to assist community colleges in 'transporting their students. Rish, D-Port St. Joe, and Rep. Wayne Mixson, D- Marianna, successfully added $135,000 to the appropriations bill for the transportation program. "For many of these stu- dents, having such transporta- :tion makes the difference between whether or not they can attend college," Rish said. Mrs. Paul Dies In Hospital Mrs. Minnie Lee Paul, Panama City, died April 26 in the Bay Memorial Hospital. She was a native of Geneva, Al. and had been a resident of Panama City for the past five years after moving there from Port St. Joe. She is survived by four sons: James C. Paul, Clarence Paul, William A. Paul and Milland -'Smokey" Paul, all of Panama City. Funeral services were held Friday at 10:00 a.m. CST in .the Springfield Community Church, with Rev. J. W. Hunt officiating. Burial was in the Jehu Cemetery, Wewahitch- ka. St. Clair Funeral Home of Port St. Joe was in charge of :arrangements. College The issue took on promi- nence last year when it ap- peared that the buses running to the community colleges would have to be discontinued for lack of funds. "We have fought this battle for a long time," Rish said, "and now we have accom- plished our goal, if we can just get the Senate to agree to it." Rish expressed pleasure over the House taking what he termed to be "a giant step forward in recognizing the educational needs of our rural citizens and helping to meet them." IN APPRECIATION LOVE is a wonderful word our Lord spoke, when it is done by His children. I'd like to say thanks to Dr. Wayne Hendrix, Dr. Shirley Simpson, the nurses and aides, the complete hospital staff for kindness shown to me during my days in the hos- pital. For the pastors' prayers and my own pastor's, Rev. Bill Wilson, who was a patient at the time of my sickness. Thanks for the many visits, 'flowers, cards, and prayers of my friends. May our heavenly Father bless all who are dedicated in -showing love for others. Bell DuBose In parts of India it was cus- tomary to tie together the clothing of a bride and groom.

"Come ana worship God with Us" The project of a nursing home for Port St. Joe is now on the last leg of a long battle to acquire a certificate of need from the Florida Panhandle Health Systems Agency, for construction of a 120 room facility here. The certificate of need is vital to allow construc- tion of the service. The Regional Committee of the Panhandle Health, Systems Agency, at its April meeting, recommended ap- proval for the establish- ment of a nursing home facility here. This leaves only one step left until the final verdict is reach- ed as to whether the certifi- cate will be approved by the state. That step is the appro- val of the proposal by Grag Shanika, head of Panhandle Health Systems Agency. Shan- ika usually acts according to the recommendation of his committees. If Shanika should approve the certificate of need, which appears probable, then in all likelihood, Port St. Joe should see construction begin in the near future on a nursing home by Health Care Services of Pensacola.

Health Survey In the next two weeks over 700 households in the Florida Panhandle will be asked to participate in a household health survey. All information given by individual respon- dents will be absolutely confi- dential. Under contract with the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services and the Florida Panhandle Health Systems Agency, the Institute for Social Research of the Florida State University will be conducting the health sur- vey in the Panhandle counties.' The information will be used by the Florida Panhandle Health Education Resources Center (HERC). The HERC is a nonprofit corporation whose primary function is to pro- mote consumer health pro- grams available to all resi- dents of the area. Locally, the following agencies are provid- ing "volunteers" to conduct the household interviews: The Gulf County Senior Citizens Association, Inc. Within the next two weeks, properly identified inter- viewers will be calling on the 700 household- each of which has been randomly selected for inclusion in the study so as to give a representative pic- ture of consumer health needs in the Panhandle. New Regulation Registers Guns Currently the Bureau of Al- cohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BATF) is proposing new regulations which would esta- blish a computerized national registration system. It will cover all firearms-rifles, shotguns and handguns- and set the groundwork for the stated goal of President Car- ter and the Justice Depart- ment-registration of all pri- vate firearms. The National Rifle Associa- tion urges all its members and concerned citizens. to protest this usurpation by the BATF of the powers of Congress and the abuse of privacy rights which this registration entails. You are urged to write and protest before May 15, the proposed rule changes to 27 CFR, Parts 47, 178 and 179.

"Quarters of coverage" is the measure used by social security to determine the amount of 7wrr l *Te * covered work a person needs; Under the old law, most' employees earned a quarter of coverage for each calendar quarter in which they were paid $50 or more in wages. covered by social security. Agricultural workers earned one quarter of coverage for each $100 of covered annual earnings up to four quarters of coverage in a year. Self- employed people earned four quarters of coverage if they had $400 or more in net earnings from self-employ- ment for the year. Beginning with 1978, all workers and self-employed people will earn one quarter of: coverage for each $250 in covered annual earnings up to a total of four quarters for the year based on annual earnings of $1000 or more.. In addition, Robinson went on, the $250 measure will be increased each year to take account of increases in average wage levels. No changes were made in the rules governing how many quarters of coverage are need- ed for people to be eligible for benefits..

The change is effective beginning with 1978. Members of the clergy-- Under the old law, services of a member of the clergy were covered as self-employment unless the person filed an irrevocable waiver of cover- age. The new law gives mem- bers of the clergy who filed such a waiver a one-time opportunity to revoke it for present and future years. These changes, along with the many others made in social security by the new law, are more fully described in a leaflet which will soon be Fr Fall Hunting In Areas Being Made ment areas can be finalized after Friday, May 5. That's when the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission will adopt regulations govern- ing the more than 50 wildlife management areas in the state as well as adopting the wildlife code for 1978-1979. The five-member Commis- sion will meet at 9 a.m. May 5 in the auditorium of the Com- mission headquarters, 620 S. Meridian Street, Tallahassee, and members of the public are urged to attend.
