Commission Asks for Legality Ruling Man Died from .. ol In Body Roberts SmithFilet .According to Sheriff Mur- o phy, Jackson's body was found at 11:30 p.m., March 30, in the hallway of Peter's R Palace on Avenue C in Port St. e bst ' Enjion Recall Election The body' was shipped to asnaccpa srr thein t Tennessee for urac. In a special session Wednesday morning, the Port St. Joe City Commission instructed its attorney, William J. Rish, to take the necessary procedures to check the validity of a recall petition recently filed against four of the five Commissioners on the Board. In Wednesday's session, attorney Rish was instructed to ask the chief judge of the circuit to rule on whether or not the petition and its charges were valid reasons to hold a recall election. The Commissioners are taking the position that the petition may not be valid in light of recent Supreme Court decisions on like questions, which ruled that a recall was permissable in these instances only when members of a public governing body had broken the law or were incompetent. Mayor Frank Pate, acting as the spokesman for the Commission stated, "We have broken no laws and we are not incompetent." Earlier in the week, Nathan Peters, Jr., .who presented the petition to City Clerk Charles Brock to be ratified, said, "I think it (the petition) proved that enough people were dissatisfied with the hospital situation. In my opinion, the recall was the best way to get the feeling of the people. The election will tell whether they are satisfied with the present Commission or want a new one." In Wednesday's action, Rish was instructed to ask the chief judge to set an election date if the petition was valid. COMPLAINT FILED With the City elections only a month away, and two of the Commissioners on the recall petition up for re-election, the recall petition affects only two of the subjects named, so far as shortening their term on the Commission is concerned. These two Commissioners, James B. Roberts and John Robert Smith, have taken exception to the petition as being valid and went into court yesterday to ask for a ruling that the petition does not comply with the law with the charges listed against them. Roberts and Smith went into court in Marianna with their attorney, Mel Magidson, asking Judge Robert McCrary to enjoin (prevent) the holding of a recall election. In their petition, Roberts and Smith claim: 1) the petition for recall does not comply with the law, and '2) the statute under which the petition was filed is unconstitutional, vague and indefinite. In the complaint filed yesterday, Roberts and Smith enter an example in which the State Supreme Court ruled in a specific case before them, where only a violation of the law or incompetence or immoral conduct were given as sufficient reasons to recall an official. The plaintiffs state that none of the charges listed on the recall petition sufficiently describe malfeasance or misfeas- ance, both acts of violation of the law. Roberts, Smith, their attorney and Clerk Charles Brock, representing the City, went to Marianna yesterday morning to appear before chief judge Robert McCrary with their plea, asking for a temporary injunction against the recall election. They are also asking that Nathan Peters, Jr.,"chairman of the petition committee, be enjoined from taking any further steps with the recall petition. In answer to this petition, Peters has stated, "They neglected their duties." Fire Department Has A Busy Week Port St. Joe's Volunteer Fire Department had a busy week end last week. Two fires Thursday called them to St. Joe Paper Company and to the AN Railroad. A woods fire Saturday, called them. to the cemetery and Ward Ridge areas. St. Joe Paper Company fire department took care of the blaze at the mill, but the volunteers were called on to stand by at the scene. r AN Railroad workers were using a cutting torch on a ' .railroad car at the shops when sparks from the torch caught 'the car and surrounding grass and bushes on fire. The department quickly had this one out. Saturday morning, two men were using a cutting torch on a junk car near Forest Park Cemetery when their torch caught the woods on fire and before they could get it under control, the fire was spread beyond their capabilities to handle it. The department was called in, along with the Florida Forest Service. Saturday evening, the fire jumped George Washington Branch and worked its way up behind Ward Ridge, threatening several houses. Again the fire department was called out to stop the advancing flames before they could damage or destroy one of the homes in the area. Damage was limited to a scorched shed behind one of the homes. In the photo above, firemen are shown putting out the fire near the railroad shops Thursday afternoon. -Star photo No More Extensions The Municipal Hospital Board of Directors drew the line Tuesday night at their regular meeting. On a unanimous vote of the Board, they decided there will be no more extensions of the hospital privileges of Dr. Anila Poonai. The Board voted to remove her privileges of practicing in the hospital in March on the advice of two medical ad hoc committees which examined the doctor's practice in the hospital and recommended that her. privileges be removed. Twice since that time, the Board has delayed final removal of the doctor's privileges pending outcome of a temporary injunction filed by her attorneys against the Hospital Board to maintain her privileges. Federal Judge Winston Arnow has the plea for the injunction before him now in Pensacola. Both attorneys for Dr. Poonai and the hospital are to present briefs to Judge Arnow by the end of this week for a final decision on - Board the injunction. While these legal maneuvers have been going on, the ,- Board has allowed Dr. Poonal to continue practicing in the hospital upon suggestions of the Federal Judge. His last suggestion was that the privileges be extended from April 1, the end of the first extension, to April 15, to allow time for the arguments to be presented. The Board of Directors voted Tuesday not to extend the privileges of Dr. Poonai beyond April 15. r�o man who can help f and want We ' d li e aco o n e o y. i; ^ ,.^'y,; ..-AGE -TWO -the alan" ' , -i -bee I int iiw * r4 bsat , ake Dani the alon .Flor k -. of ot raw sani c-cost AGhal THE STAR, EDITORIALS: Griffin Says Port St. Joe.

A Layman's View Bible Notes By BILLY NORRIS The Spirit of Easter -Star photo Luke 22:15, 19-20 (KJV) Key Word: The Sacrificial Lamb "(V-15) And he (Jesus) said unto them, 'With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:' (V-19) And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them saying, 'This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.' (V-20) Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, 'This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.' " Jesus was truly the Sacrifi- cial Lamb prepared by God to pay all debts owed because of sin. By Adam sin entered the world. By Jesus the debt of sin was paid. Though the debt is paid and a clear title. is available to everyone it is still necessary for us to accept this gift from Jesus. The Passover was initiated by God in order to bring His i people out of Egypt from under Pharaoh (Exodus 12). But not just to "BRING" them out from bondage but to bring them out as a nation, healed (Exodus 12:37); everyone WALKED out, no one was carried.

Provisions (Exodus 16:13) meat in the morning and bread (Exodus 16:15) in the evening. Jesus freely shed His Blood, His Life, as the ultimate passover sacrifice to give to all who will accept the gift of remission of sin, healing (Isaiah 53:5, I Peter 2:24) eternal life, provision and everything needed in this life and the life to come. CARD OF THANKS Only recently when we were face to face with our sorrow, loving concerned friends has sustained us. We sincerely thank you for your prayers, calls and messages. They were consoling. With grateful hearts, The family of Wesley Farris ETAOIN SHRDLU By I'M GLAD TO SEE I'm not the only one who makes mistakes. We, here at The Star had a lu-lu made for us this past week. Last Friday, we had a call from Top Dollar Store's headquarters from up in Alabama wanting advertising rates, insertion schedules, etc. The man on the phone said, "We have four -ads we wish to run during the month of April". "You'll find us amenable to that", we told the man. Monday, the advertising copy for the entire ..month came in the mail... advertising a closing '-out of the local business. We ran the first ad Thursday of last week and the first call I received was the manager from the local store telling me, "Where did that ad come from? I don't think we're going out of r: Wesley R. Ramsey business." I explained it came from her headquarters. The next call I received was from "headquarters". "Where are you located?" the man asked me. I told him and he said, "Your publication doesn't cover Parker?" I had to tell him no, that was in Bay County and under the circulation of the Panama City News-Herald. Anyhow, to make a long story short, the man discovered he had sent his ad to the wrong place. It was the Parker store which was being closed down. This one here in Port St. Joe is still alive and doing well from last reports. What I'd really like to hear is what went on in the home office of Top Dollar when the mistake was found. BILL SIMMONS, our official unofficial weather man, died last week after a bout with cancer. Bill was an unusual man, even apart from his hobby of meticulously keeping up with the weather each and every day. Bill was peculiar in that he was one of the few men left in this world who told you exactly what he felt and one could usually hang his hat on what Bill said as being just as it was. He was a man of much knowledge and many facts. He believed in a man collecting only what he earned unless he was truly incapable of earning. Bill was especially proud of his role in planning and guiding the local library to construction. It was a fitting monument to Bill, who dealt in things intellectual. A RUSSIAN claims to have found the lost city of Atlantis. Atlantis was supposed to be an ancient civilization which sank into the sea many years ago. For all these years, most people have considered Atlantis as just another fable or fairy tale spun by one of the many ancient men who made up such stories. I believe it was Plato which told the story of Atlantis. The Russian scientist claims he saw stairs and ruins of buildings deep in the sea off Gibralter. If the claim is true; if the storied Atlantis is actually a fact, I would suggest we begin immediately to look for the Land of Nod, Jack's ,Beanstalk, Never Never Land and wherever it was Peter Pan called home. That shouldn't be much more of a job than putting a man onrthe moon. J IT LOOKS'TO ME as if Idi Amin is on the way out. The Tanzanians were practically in control of his capital city when this was written and had Amin's troops and friends from Iraq on the run. Idi won't be missed. There will be no tears shed over his demise or dismissal, whichever comes first. The thing which amazes me is that there are no bleats from the liberal press for the United Nations to protect Idi. It looks as if everyone in the world, except Idi, will be glad to see him go. There will be no weeping words said over Idi on his exit. I MOVED Frenchie's daylilies out of my garden Thursday evening and put in part of my crop over the week end. There has been icy chill in the house ever since Thursday evening, but the daylilies are reposing on the edge of the garden spot, awaiting new ground elsewhere. I got my string beans put in the ground, my tomatoes planted and headway made on the squash, bell pepper and egg plant. All of this is taking root in a spot about 10 feet by 20 feet. It's just a matter of close communion for my vegetables. Now, comes the long weeks of fighting the weeds and grass which will be forever trying to reclaiming their former homestead on my plot,- just as the Indians when they were chased out the west.

He says it now requires a budget of around $8,000 to put on the program for 14 teams. "We started this season with about $15.00 in the bank. We get only about $4,000 from sponsorship fees and player registration, so this leaves a pretty good chunk of money which has to be raised by parent participation in the concessions stand and fund- raising projects." The -concession stand this year will be run by parents of the league members. McFar- larid said a system has been devised where the parents of each team will manage the stand one week during the season. "We had an awful lot of confusion when we had to resort to having kids run the stand", he said. One of the ways the league is saving on expenses is to line up more parent participation to perform tasks which were paid for in the past. "We're using parent volunteers for umpires rather than pay for the service", the league pres- ident said. "In order to line up parents on a schedule we have given out volunteer booster forms for parents to sign their intent, to help us during the season". Also as a fund raising project, the league is selling T-shirts with the Dixie Youth emblem, bumper stickers, window decals and patches. INNOVATIONS The Dixie Youth League this year is branching out into new programs to involve the boys and parents. Last Saturday, two of the major league teams, the Doz- ers and Hard-Stars, played an exhibition game in Panama City at Oakland Terrace and won both games. This helps boys get accustomed to com- peting with boys from other cities, which helps them get rid.of the butterflies at tour- nament time. The league has a new public address system, for use'at the games this year. The system was donated by Gulf County Sheriff Ken Murphy. In order to help the financial picture, the league is sponsor- ing a ladies softball tourna- ment, starting Friday night, April 20. All proceeds will go toward helping operate the league this year. Wayne Par- rish is acting as tournament director. POLICY STATEMENT In starting up the current season, McFarland said, "The policy of Dixie Youth baseball is to promote the development of strong character, a right 'attitude and a sense of respon- sibility and citizenship in youngsters, using the game of baseball as a vehicle". The league president said, "The purpose of Dixie Youth baseball is to achieve this goal through fair play, good sports- ianship and congenial fel- lowship with adult leaders providing the example." Fur- ther, he said it was strictly against the policy of Dixie Youth baseball for any person, either as a participant or a spectator, to engage in argu- ments, to use abusive lang- uage, to harrass umpires or to exhibit any behaviour not in keeping with the general intention of the program. Games will be played each afternoon, Monday through Friday. The first game each afternoon will begin at 5:30 p.m. Three games will be played each Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday after- noon, with two games on tap each Wednesday. Snapper and Grouper Fisheries In Gulf of. Mexico tObe Re;gulated The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council and Na- tional Marine Fisheries Ser- vice will hold public hearings on a draft 'fishery manage- ment plan for regulation of the snapper and grouper fisheries of the Gulf of Mexico. The purpose of the hearings is to allow the public to comment on the proposed plan and management measures (regu- lations). Hearings will be held start- ing at 7:00 p.m. .in the following locations in this area: Pensacola Junior College on May 23. City Commissioner's Meeting Room in the City Hall of Panama City on May 24.

Seafood is one of nature's most delicious and , nutritious additions to our food choices. All seafood is low-calorie, which makes dieting more a --challenge than drudgery.

PAGE SEVEN .Going to Close Dam to Fishing Unless We Get 9.oClseDa.t :County Commissioner Jim- my Gortman stated Tuesday, "rn going to vote to close the Dead Lakes Dam to fishing unless we can get some help." ..The help Gortmran was referringg to was aid in keeping people from making a gar- *Iage dump of the area and parking their vehicles on the bridge while they go fishing. Gortman said the sloppy housekeeping of the fishermen' keeps the area smelly and in a mess and the practice of parking on the bridge ob- structs traffic and is extreme- ly dangerous. Gortman received the sup- port of the entire Commission in calling for the Sheriff's Department, the Wewahitch- ka City Police and the Game Commission officers in polic- ing the area. "Make a case against those people who mess up the area and park their vehicles on the bridge and you'll stop the problem", Gortman said. TRIES MANEUVER Commissioner Leo Kennedy attempted a maneuver to side-step a requirement made at the last meeting by the Board which would require that all new subdivision streets be paved by the developer before the County would accept the plat. Kennedy made a motion that a subdivision could be accepted if it was written into the acceptance the county would not pave the streets. If the streets were paved in the future, the property owners would be assessed for the paving costs. Kennedy's motion died for lack of a second. SUBDIVISION FILED Robert Nations of Florida Engineer Associates of We- wahitchka. was the first to be turned down .under the more stringent subdivision re- quirements which requires an examination of all plats by the County Administrative Assis- tant Tommy Pitts to see if the plat comes within the require- ments. Nations presented a plat of a subdivision inside the city limits of Wewahitchka stating the Wewahitchka City Com- mission had approved the plat and didn't come under the new requirements because it was inside the Wewahitchka cor- porate limits. Chairman Billy Branch and Commissioner Birmingham both expressed the fear the county would have a liability in the matter if their man didn't examine the plat before filing. Nations didn't much like it. -Heard a report from At- torney Rish that he had contacted Representative Leonard Hall and Lt. Gov. Wayne Mixson about the prob- lem in getting a dredging permit for St. Joseph Harbor. He said they have contacted the Department of Natural Resources and are now await- ing an answer. Which is what everyone else has been doing. , Left to right: Rick Williams, assistant most valuable player and free throw coach; Tony Larry, most improved; Willie champion; Chuck Pollock, best 'rebounder Boykins, most enthusiastic; Cleveland Riley, and William Lane, head coach. Red Cross, Hospital Get By LESLIE COSTIN On Friday night, April 6, the Port St. Joe Sharks Varsity Basketball team was given a banquet in their honor. On the menu was barbecue chicken, macaroni and cheese, ham, baked beans, slaw, rolls, tea, and banana pudding. The Commons Area was decorated in the team's colors of purple, white and gold. Each wall held a picture of the players in their team uniform and a table held the numerous trophies that the team had won. The main speaker was Don Rich and the featured guest speaker was David Fernan- dez. Coach William Lane and assistant coach Rick Williams .gave awards during the dinner and each player was noted for his outstanding ability during the season. The most valuable player award went to Cleveland Riley, who also won the best free throw award. Chuck Pollock was honored with the best rebounder award and Tony Larry was the most improved. The most enthusiastic was Willie Boykins. The following team mem- bers lettered for the 78-79 season: Cleveland Riley, Tony Larry, Chuck Pollock, Willie Boykins, Ricky Larry and Kenny Parker. Other mem- bers of the team include: Rick Taylor, Castledera Gant, Michael Harris, John Pittman and Kent Thomas. The Sharks finished the season 19-8 and held the District and Regional cham- pionships and the Sectfonal runners-up. After all the team awards were given, the cheerleaders presented the team with en- graved key chains. Mrs. Rich, the cheerleader sponsor, presented the cheer- leaders with awards for their cheering efforts through the season.

He said he had presented such a plat recently and had it approved without any hassle. Birmingham said, "We re- quire paving outside the city. We can't allow the cities to put sub-standard areas on our books without paving and expect us to do it later. It isn't fair to the developers outside the cities." The Commission finally de- cided to send a letter to both cities in the County requiring that all subdivisions in their limits must be approved by their officer before being presented to them for accept- ance and that it must meet their regulations. WHITE CITY In another road problem, residents of White City had requested the speed limit through their community be lowered to 25 miles per hour to stop the speeding vehicles through their community. Attorney Rish was instruct- ed to request the DOT to make 'a survey of the area. Rish reported back to the meeting Tuesday that a survey showed 85 percent of the people going through White City exceeded the speed limit. Sheriff Ken Murphy said this was somewhat mis-lead- ing. "The average speed of vehicles through White City is 43 miles per hour in a 40 miles per speed zone. The fastest vehicle clocked in the survey was travelling 59 miles per hour." Sheriff Murphy then asked, "How are you going to arrest a motorist for going 43 miles per hour in a 40 mile zone?" He has a problem.

APRIL 12. 1979 (County, lAgreemei -' After nearly, six months of negotiating,' ' i Gulf County Commission last Thursday Aight gave its permission for Mexico Beach to If, a sewer line through the beaches into the lPort St. Joe wastewater treatment plant. : The Commission gave the permission *o-king to the future when the beaches will Jjjve sanitary sewer and can tie into the '3xico, Beach main for transportation of ,i4dr sewage into the Port St. Joe plant for treatment . The Commission also agreed to give Mexico Beach a franchise to sell 'treated iiater to the communities in the beaches area, ajpcifically to the, new Gulf Aire subdivision - r Beacon Hill. 'The community also is Afanning to make, water available to' other , eas in the beaches vicinity. Commissioner Doug Birmingham cast fi only dissenting vote to the agreement. He 5 he Board of County Com- lssioners of Gulf County, rida -met March 16 in 1cial meeting with the fol- ,vinng members present: Wil- SR, Branch, Chairman, * uglas C. Birmingham, Jim- S~~y. 0. Gortman, James L. Iankersley, and Leo Kennedy. Ohers present were: George . X zCore, Clerk, and Tommy 4tts, Administrative Assist- '"' az-Mosquito Control Direc- . Sihe meeting came to order ,a7:00 p.m. The Clerk opened S. meeting with prayer, f oiowed by the pledge to the ' he Clerk reminded the S' ard that the electricity bill the old courthouse for S obruary was $613.28. ' he Clerk read a letter from S Department of Health ininding the Board that 'ns0t. pprate, a., amb1u- , e'sxervce' has. in been. it�S " Th Chairman said was being attended to at S'its time. JSlpon motion by Commis- S tgiser Gortman, seconded by q, * mmissioner Tankersley, iarl unanimously carried, the ioard approved the District iU-A Mental Health Board's iNdalth Plan for the 1979-1980 year. :-The Board discussed the : k Grove Water and Sewer System lift station on property purchased from Jessie Ander- " sin. Mrs. Anderson reported tat a fence around the lift station was not located cor- tjetly. The Chairman said this matter will be taken care of. :The Chairman said that the next business would be to S consider the selection of the Engineering firms that filed b0Ochures with the Board at ifi meeting of March 13, to be interviewed at a later date. /f er consideration, the Board requested the Administrative Assistant to make a study of. each firm as to qualifications a -d that the top five be set for * Dterviews on March 22 begin- flifg at 7:00 p.m. rCommissioner Birmingham discussed the County recrea- Etioal program. He said that (his Board is one of the Riancial sponsors of this program and should have agiething to say as to its operation and programs. He ijr told the Board that the Wewahitchka Little League Baseball season opened today, btrt that the Wewahitchka Director of the County Recre- itional Program had done ,i.ibing to assist this group in getting started. The Board detected that a letter be lexico Beach Iron Out An at to Lay Sewer, Water Lines had questions of the amount of damage to county roads and road shoulders and inconvenience caused to Gulf County citizens during construction. Birmingham said the county should have some kind of protection for its residents. Birmingham also opposed any suggestion of forcing people to pay for sewage service whether they want it or not. Birmingham's objection was taken because of a. requirement of Farmers Home Administration, who lends money for these projects, which requires all people who can hook. to the services when provided to do so or pay their portion of the loan money. Birmingham suggested a public hearing in Gulf County to find out the feelings of residents in the three communities - St. Joe Beach, Beacon Hill and Gulf Aire. The attempt was voted down. written to Honorable -Walter Wilder, Superintendent of Schools, asking him to look into this matter and direct that some consideration be given to the Little League. The Board discussed a re- quest by a land owner in the Hanlon Estate property on the Dead Lakes. The owner re- quested the County to pave all roads in an unrecorded sub- division in payment for the County extending a road right of way across his. property line. The Road Superintendent explained that he used the same easement width on this property as the road that connects this new County road, but later learned that the new road was not as wide as the old road. The Board directed the Road Superinten- dnet to pull the right of way off this property and to repair any damage done. * The'Board did then consider' '. adoptingtwonew. priority lists for road construction and resurfacing;' one list to con- tain projects for a proposed bond issue and the second list for projects to be done by the County Road Department; the Board considered each prior- ity as listed in Resolution 79-2, dated February 27, 1979, and certain other roads 'and streets not listed in said resolution. After very lengthy consideration, two lists were selected. A copy of the lists are on file in the Clerk's office. Motion by Commissioner Branch, second by Commis- sioner Tankersley, that if the Bond Issue Program fails all priorities ,will revert to those listed in Resolution 79-2. Vote: Aye - Branch, Tankersley. Nay - Kennedy, Gortman, and. Birmingham. (Failed) There was a motion by Commissioner Birmingham, second by Commissioner Gortman, that if the bond issue fails priorities set at this meeting will remain in effect, but without designation as to contract and County work. Vote: Unanimously carried. There was a motion by Commissioner Gortman, se- cond by Commissioner Bir- mingham. that James Drive (not listed on priority list) be established as number 21 on the bond list. Vote: Unani- mously carried. There was a motion by Commissioner Branch, second by Commissioner Kennedy, that all unpaved streets in Beacon Hill, St. Joe Beach, and Highland View be added to the bond list as number 22. Vote: Aye - Branch, Kennedy, Tankersley, and Gortman. Nay - Birmingham. Commis- sioner Birmingham said he could not vote for this motion because it was too broad to know what was involved. The Chairman requested the Administrative Assistant give -the Board an estimate of the cost of this program. There being no further business, the meeting ad- journed. . �The Board of County Coin. nissioniers 'f Gulf County Florida,. met Marth. 22 in special session for the purpose of interviewing engineering firms who were selected from the: respondents to the Com- mission's advertising for en- gineering services. The fol- lowing members were pre- sent: William R. Branch, Chairman, James L. Tanker- sley, Douglas C. Birmingham, and Jimmy 0. Gortman. Also in attendance was Adminis- trative" Assistant Tommy Pitts. The meeting was called- to Another possible community will be affected by the sewer main being laid to Port St. Joe. A study is currently being authorized by the County to make a study of Highland View with the possibility of hooking that * community on the sewer main and providing a collection system for the community. The Mexico Beach proposal is to run a 10-inch sewer main along the state right of r way on Highway 98 to the sewage treatment plant at Port St. Joe. The City of Port St. Joe has told Mexico Beach they will accept the raw sewage for treatment if it is brought to the plant. Port St. Joe and Mexico Beach are currently in negotiations to work out a fee for the' treatment service. The sewer main would require a pumping station in the eastern part of Mexico Beach and one in Highland View, to force the sewage along the line. The system is now in its planning stages. Previously Mexico Beach had plans for an irrigation disposal system, similar to the City of Lynn Haven. but problems with the Lynn Haven site has turned their attention in the direction of Port St. Joe's treatment plant. Estimated costs for the project -would be in the vicinity of $3.4 million. Commissioner Leo Kennedy said a recent survey at the beaches revealed that "90 percent" of the residents there favored water at almost any cost. primarily to take them off water wells and to enhance fire protection by adding fire hydrants. The plan was presented to the County Commissioners in a special meeting Thurs- day night by Mexico Beach Mayor Bob Hale and their engineer. Gil Mauriello of J. B. Converse Company. Pvt. Michael D. Todd Completes OSUT Course Pvt. Michael Todd order at 7:00. p.m. Commis- sioner Gortman opened the meeting with prayer and the pledge of allegiance to the flag. Pitts reported to the Com- missioners that in accordance with their instructions, he had selected the five most quali- fied engineering firms from those who had submitted statements and had scheduled interviews with those firms beginning at 7:00 p.m. A copy of the firms making presenta- tions-is op file in the Clerk's" .office. - " . , _' -. Each firm was given the opportunity to make a formal presentation and this was followed by a question and answer period. The Board decided that they would rank the top three firms according to qualifications at their next regular meeting and at that time set up a meeting for the purpose of negotiating with the number one firm. There being no further business, the meeting did then adjourn. Pvt. Michael D. Todd, son of Mr. and Mrs. Coy C. Todd, 1019 Long Ave., Port St. Joe, recently completed One Sta- tion Unit Training (OSUT)at Fort Benning,,Ga.

The St. Joseph Historical Society held a memorial ser- vice for one of their original members, Ruth Costin Soule, Saturday, April 7 in the library meeting rooms: IN MEMORIAL RUTH COSTIN SOULE When old friends and rela- tives think of Ruth Costin Soule our minds turn to nature as Ruth was an outdoor girl, a sportswoman in every sense of the word. Swimming, hunting, fishing, boating, horseback riding, and hiking over the countryside were every day events in her life. Ruth was a fine athlete and was on Port St. Joe's first basketball and track teams. Nearly all of her life was spent in and around Port St. joe. Horace Soule came into Port St. Joe as mate on a four masted schooner (The Sin- tram) owned by the Soule Shipbuilders, about 1924 to ship .lumber from the Park- wood Lumber Company. He and Ruth were introduced and they immediately fell in love. The wife of the captain of the schooner was to make the next trip down from Boston to Port St. Joe and she invited Ruth to make. the return trip with them. This was planned for a year but Mrs. Costin became ill and Ruth, as always, put her family's welfare above her own pleasure. Horace and Ruth were mar- ried in the old Methodist Church which was entirely decorated with fall leaves and woods flowers. To this union a son, Horace Jr., was born. Early in life Horace Jr. became an invalid: and Ruth spent all of her time with him. Her courage, devotion, faith, and fortitude will always be remembered. There was an inner part of Ruth that few people knew. An THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY, APRIL 12. 1979 PAGE THIRTEEN artistic side. She painted beautifully with never a les- son. Her paintings were ones familiar to this area; boats, ships, and sea scapes. Ruth was a poetess. Al- though she had none of her poems published, she com- piled them into a booklet which her family has kept. Her descriptions are so vivid of early landmarks of this country as to put Charles Dickens in the shade. Her descriptions of these ordinary landmarks are so imaginative that the reader can only know that she was not looking with ordinary eyes. Ruth was a Charter Member of the old St. Joseph Cemetery later called St. Joseph Histor- ical Society and always an avid gardner, she worked diligently and tirelessly for the beautification and preser- vation of the old Acropolis. Ruth Costin Soule was loved and will always be missed by members of the St. Joseph Historical Society. Ida Ethel Brown Hutto Opposes Closing of Gasoline Stations On Weekends Calling for a more realistic and equitable approach to Energy Savings, Congress- man Earl Hutto urged mem- bers of Congress to reject the resolution approving Standby Conservation Plan No. 1, which prohibits the sale of gasoline or diesel fuel on weekends. In a speech to the House, Hutto said: "I oppose it (Standby Plan No. 1) because it places undue, hardship on. certain sectors of the econo- my, primarily the tourist industry, and is in violation of the energy Policy and Conser- vation Act of 1975 which calls for a reasonable distribution of the burden on all sectors of the economy. My state alone would lose $8 million in sales volume; $22 million in tax income; and place 29,000 persons out of work."'! In his closing statement Hutto urged Congress to reject Standby Conservation Plan No. 1 and "...adopt a more realistic and equitable ap- proach to energy savings which would decrease de- pendence on foreign oil, in- crease domestic supplies of oil, develop alternative uses of energy, and encourage sensi'- ble petroleum consumption: without destroying important-- sectors of the economy." Earlier Congressman Hutto.- had contacted President Cair- ter opposing the prohibition of-. gasoline sales on weekends - and had recommended that:- states be allowed to developa'- their own plans to conserve energy. On the evening of April 5, the President did-- indicate that he would set:7 targets for the states to reduce gasoline consumption before- he would use mandatory mea4-: : sures to accomplish such a - goal.
