A few stop changes in White City' have been necessary due to the reduction in 'the number of buses serving that area. Major changes in' White City are in the Beatty Subdivi- sion. New stops will be at 4th Street and Road 20; 4th Street .and Beatty; 1st Street and Beatty; 1st Street, and Road I" 20. Students in White City should be ready about 10 minutes earlier than last 'year. If there are any questions. *concerning routes and stops, contact the Transportation, Coordinator at 229-8256. The emphasis in the -elementary curriculum will continue to be on the basic skills. Mr. Wilder stated that a new program in mathematics and reading for kindergarten through sixth grade will be implemented this year. Administrators and teachers have been involved' in training activities during 'thesummer relative to new textbooks and instructional material for this elementary 'program., A speech therapist has been appointed for the 1979-80 school year. This itinerate instructor will assist elementary students who have specific difficulties. . LUNCHES MORE EXPENSIVE Adjustments in the price for .student, and adult meals have been necessitated by rising food costs. Prices have remained the same for several years while costs increased. After surveying other school districts,. the School Board has adopted new lunch prices. The new prices for student lunches will be 50 cents for elementary' and 60 cents for secondary children. Adult prices will be $1.10 for the adult tray. The a la carte options will be available to the adult patron. The breakfast program has been discon- tinued for the 1979-80 school year. Students who have moved into Gulf County and have not registered for the 1979-80 school year should do so before the first day of classes on August 27. Parents should have a birth certificate and a health record when registering a kindergarten child. DRIVE CAREFULLY Mr. Wilder also cautions motorists to remember schools are opening and to watch for children and school buses. An increase in pedestrians, cars, motor- cycles, and bicycles will become evi- dent as the new session begins. Childiren will be excited and much care must be shown to. avoid accidents. ROOM ASSIGNMENTS According to Howard Blick, Prin- cipal, rdom assignments for Port St. Joe Elementary students will be posted at 9:00, Friday morning, August 24, in' the front entrance hall of the school. 0 School Budget Over $6 Million The Gulf County School of eight-tenths of. a mill for reduced $80,000, while state duced from last year's budget.

An ordinance, passed on its final reading Tuesday night, would raise the sewer collec- tion and treatment rate to 80 percent of the water bill. The rate has been 60 percent for many years. The increase in rates was necessary, of course, due to the continuing increase in the cost of treating sewage to the specifications of environmen- (-talists. Clerk Charles Brock advis- ed the Commission, when the new budget was being prepar- ed, that the service was operating badly in the red in last year's budget, because of the increasing costs of the method designated for sewage treatment by the state Depart- .ment of Environmental Re- sources. Chemrficals and ma- chinery and its operation in the secondary treatment sys- tem required of the city have continued to increase in price. The increase in the sewage rate will hike the minimum water bill in the city to $5.40' per month. The increase in rate will be reflected on the bills mailed out November 1.

Here Mrs. Virginia Smith and Mrs. Port Authority To View Plans of Seafood Park George G. Tapper, chairman of the Port St. Joe Port Authority, has called a special meeting of the group for Friday afternoon at 5:00 p.m. The meeting will be held in the Fire Station meeting room. Tapper said the meeting is being called for the representatives of the Departnment of Commerce and SCoastal Plains to present final plans for construction of the seafood industrial park near the mouth of the Gulf - -County-Canal at Highland View. The scope of the plainsto_ be presented will cover more than 70 acris oin the east side of Highway 98,: adjacent to the canal. The plan shows a proposed dredging of Chicken House Branch from the Canal to Industrial Road on the south of the property. The dredged canal will be 300 feet wide. The Gulf County CanAl will be widened by 75 feet at the industrial park site, from the bridge east to Chicken House Branch. Concrete sheet piling will be placed in the dredged area and back filled. The plans will include 1,988 feet of paved road, paved parking areas, curbs, gutters and 6,263 feet of concrete bulkhead on the canal and Chicken House Branch. All members of the Port Authority and the public are invited to attend Friday's meeting. Kidnap, Robbery Charges Filed According to Sheriff Ken Murphy of the Gulf County Sheriff's Department, kidnap- ping and armed robbery charges are being filed against John Roland Wood, age 25, of Highland View, in an incident that happened in the early morning hours of Tues- day, August 21. According to Sheriff Mur- phy and Chief Investigator, Jim Buchanan, Wood alleged- ly went to, the home of David Walker in Mexico Beach about 12:30 a.m. Walker's parents operate the Highland View Superette. Wood allegedly ab- ducted young Walker at knife point, had Walker drive him to the Superette, where approxi- mately $1,500 was removed from the safe. Wood then had Walker drive him to Destin, where Walker was released. Walker was 'released and returned to Port St. Joe before reporting the incident.- Sheriff Murphy stated that Wood hired a taxi to carry him to Pensacola, where he check- ed into the San Carlos Hotel under his own name. How- ever, by the time the incident' was reported, and Investiga-: tor Buchanan notified Pensa- cola Police Department, Wood' had vacated the premises and- has not been apprehended at' this time. The Gulf County Sheriff's Department holds a warrant for armed robbery and a com-' plaint has been signed at the Bay County Sheriff's office for kidnapping. Tickets On Sale Football season tickets for the Sharks' fall home schedule are now on sale according to athletic director, Wayne Tay- lor. The tickets are available in the High School office, where they may be picked up. Those desiring to reserve tickets may call the school to make. their reservation and pick up: the tickets at a later date. formed in Gulf County, is being set up by former Gulf Coast and Port St. Joe High School basketball star, David Langston. Tickets for. the game, to begin at 8:00 p.m., are $4.00, with advance tickets available at the Port St. Joe High School office. One of the big match-ups will occur between Larry Bird, formerly of Indiana State University and Greg Kelser of Michigan State University. Indiana State and Michigan State met in the finals of the NCAA tournament last season, with Michigan State coming out on top. Bird, the top college prospect of 1979, will play professional ball with the Boston Celtics, while Kelser will take the court for the Detroit Pistons. Free, a first team All-Pro guard last season, was the second leading scorer in the NBA last season, averaging 27 points per game. Archibald, now with the Celtics, is the only player in NBA history to lead the league in both scoring and assists in one year, when he was with the Kansas City Kings. Dawkins is one of the up and coming ' centers in the game, after coming right out of high school in Florida to take the floor as a pro for Philadelphia. Bell, formerly of the New York Knicks, now a representative for Wilson Sporting' Goods, was a first team All-American with. the Commodores in 1970 and 1971. Langston also hopes to get some other., former Gulf Coast stars to play in the game, including Dick Hanson, who helped the Commodores win the state championship in 1971. Agri-Businessmen Plan Export Grain Terminal Here Port St. Joe Facility to Cover 13 Acres, Handle 40 Million Bushels A Year From the Albany Herald A group of Georgia, Florida and Alabama "agri-busines- smen and farmers" have banded together and plan to build an export terminal at Port St. Joe. The deep-water Gulf of Mexico operation will handle 40 million bushels of corn and beans a year through the $17 million facility, Lowell Peavy of Camilla, Georgia said. Peavy, the innovator and chairman of the board of Agri-ports, Inc., is the founder and chairman of Chem-Nut, one of the largest fertilizer distributorships in the South- east. He said there are 120 million bushels of corn and beans growth within a 200 mile radius of the proposed grain terminal and when the grain is sold, it's "got to go some- place." In addition to establishing an export outlet for their grain, farmers in the tri-state area will have access to the potash and urea nitrogen imported at the 13-acre rail- port complex. Peavy said Port St. Joe is "at the tip of the new irrigated farm lands" of Southwest Georgia, Southeast Alabama and the Florida panhandle:. Large tracts of land are being cleared 50 miles on either side of the Flint River, and crops are being grown through irrigation there. This means of farming and an adequate water supply can produce two crops a year out of the same land, agricultural officials said. Peavy predicts grain ex- ports will double in the next ten years. Grain export ter- minals in Louisiana and Mis- sissippi have ships backed up in harbors waiting for loading and barges and train cars backed up waiting to unload. But, Peavy said, these pro- blems can be avoided with Agri-ports' planned facility. He said train cars will empty their grain cargoes into the elevators, be moved to the other side of the terminal and loaded with potash or urea nitrogen for the return trip. The 35-foot deep port will provide ample room for the ships to maneuver and pull up parallel with the dock, Peavy said. Rail cars can "almost" unload without stopping. Some ports penalize smaller ships (those in the 70,000 bushel capacity range and smaller) with added fees because they take up time and space and carry less than the larger freighters. The Agri- Ports' facility will "cater" to those smaller ships, Peavy said. He said the plan began when he and 20 others purchased $600,000 in Agri-Ports stock, the original issue, for "per- mits, building designs and land purchases." The company has "accepted final building designs of three million bushels of elevator storage," Peavy said, and now is in negotiations with lenders for an $11 million loan. With the completion of the loan agreements and Security Exchange Commission "ac- ceptance," the company will issue additional stock totaling $5.4 million, he said. Peavy said the 15-member board is among the "strong- est" in the nation. In addition to the Mitchell Countian, the board is com- posed of Thomas Kuehl, pres- ident; K. Maurice Willis, vice president; James A. Lewis, secretary; C. Jack Zorn, treasurer, and directors Mc- Hatton "Sonny" Abel Jr., Joseph Bryan, Paul" Crigler, Conway Gillis, Ben Griffin, Charles Luke, W. Guy McKen- zie, Francis Merrifield, Ro. bert Moss, Harold Tower and Charles Webb. Peavy said farm land in this area is producing 200 bushels of corn per acre with irriga- tion, and he believes the increase in grain farming will mean a demand for graih export terminals. ;.24''*""' NBA Stars In Cage Game Here Saturday Larry Bird, Daryl Dawkins, Lloyd Free, Nate Archibald, Greg Kelser HE STA Industry Deep Water Port Fine People Safest Beaches in Florida PORT ST.

Lightfoots (or Lightfeet) Send Gree Dear Wesley and Frenchie, Greetings from Wyoming! We keep up with St. Joe "doin's" in The Star and we were interested in the contro- versey surrounding the ques- tion of whether or not the Volunteer Ambulance Squad should be paid mileage to help defray personal expenses. Bobby and I were active squad members for over a year and can objectively see both sides of this issue. I question -whether enough thought has been given as to just what expense the.

I can well under- would be financial suicide to pay all the Gulf County active E.M.T.'s what they are worth in dollars and cents. The county itself is receiving bene- fit of dedicated, professional people whose only reward or recompense is doing some- thing for others. Bobby and I were extremely proud of our affiliation with the squad and the man-hours we spent in squad duties were averaging about 60 hours a week, collec- tively. However, it did cost us. There were times when we would go through a tank of gas tings in a week just on ambulan' calls. Times when duty on the squad involved paying baby- sitters to keep the girls while we had to make transfers out of town all because some one's life depended on it. You just don't think of expense when someone's life is on the line. The county has a very good thing going with the volun- teers. Not only are they giving their time, which in my opinion is more precious than money, they are giving their love and compassion to fellow human beings in their time of need. These people are dedi- cated and paid only with their satisfaction, and pride. It members feel it is beginning to cost them more financially, perhaps you better take note. Perhaps, volunteering 'will cost so much, no one will want to afford it any longer. Gaso- line is 98.9 (regular) here in Wyoming and if it's not that high in St. Joe, I certainly would be amazed because if it's not that high, it soon will be. We still have our E.M.T. duties here and have dealings with a paid service. Th=je guys are good, well trainee, but it's a job to them. How lucky Gulf County is to have their volunteers. If the volunteers feel they need a little assistance take another look at their reasons. They wouldn't be asking un- less the volunteer business wasn't forcing them to re- evaluate their own personal situations. Maybe Mr. Bandjough will end up with a paid service if the price of volunteering gets too high. We miss you all very much and you have our very best wishes.

(Verse 2:10) "We are God's work of art, created in Christ Jesus to live the good life as from the beginning he had meant us to live it." Faith in God is accepting Him at His Word. Faith walking is not by sight or feel but by His word. As Paul opens the Book of Ephesians with praise to God, he is setting an example for us to follow. Paul wastes no time in getting down to hard facts concerning God. God has blessed the Christian with ALL the spiritual blessings of heaven. There has been noth- ing left out of this blessing. Our problem has been accept- ing what God through Jesus has done FOR US! Chapter 2, Verse 10, says Jesus gave us a second opportunity "to live the good life as from the beginning."

Bless His Holy Name and Bless the Name of Jesus. I WARNED YOU last week that the beginning of school was at hand. Now, the * missile is on the launch pad and the countdown has started. In only five more days, kids, you will be back in the classroom, looking once again for the summer vacation which will then be nine months away. When I was a kid going to school, there were two things I liked about school... the first day and the last. My teacher just looked for the last day. In preparation for the beginning of school next Monday morning, the school office sent us a copy of the new table of family income for free and reduced lunch room prices. This one will get you. If the breadwinner of the family makes $200.00 a week and they have three kids in school, these children may receive free meals and free milk in the lunchroom. If the same family makes $312 or less a week, their children may eat in the lunchroom at reduced prices. If a family has 10 kids in school, they can make up to $395.00 a week and receive free meals for their kids and make up to $616.00 a week and received reduced price meals. And they probably need the help! IN ADDITION to the start of school, the calendar also tells us that Sunday is "Women's Equality Day". 'Mark that one down men. On Sunday, the ladies are no better than you are. It's nice of them to take a cut in status for one day a year. ANDY YOUNG has stepped down from his position as Ambassador to the United Nations. The media said Young was caught lying about a conversation he had with the ambassa- dor from the Palestinian Liberation Organiza- tion after our nation's government had agreed not to recognize the PLO. Some said it was past time for Young to go while others said he should have been left at his post. At any rate, Young resigned and President Carter accepted the resignation. Whether you think he should have been kept on the job or whether you think it was time for him to go, Young's manner in handling his resignation raised his standing in my estimation. Young could have used the episode for a vehicle to stir up racial relations in our nation. He could have used the happening to demean the President, to take a pot-shot at some of his detractors and could probably have stirred the pot to a boiling point which would have lasted well past the elections next year. But he didn't. Young stepped down graciously, saying he had no animosity, had no hard feelings against anyone and urged his supporters to accept his resignation as his choosing. I admire him for that. The Ambassador said he wasn't repentant for anything he had said and done, but felt he had acted in the best interest of the nation. What he was saying was that he couldn't play the game the team was playing, so he elected to play it alone. That's the proper thing to do. I HAVE A HARD ENOUGH time remember- ing American names, so forgive me that I don't remember the Arab names involved in this next episode. There is a beautiful Arab lady who is suing her oil-shiek husband for divorce out in California. It seems this lady's husband is worth four BILLION dollars. But if this Arab lady has her way, the shiek will be worth only $2 billion in just a short while. She is suing for divorceand asking for half of her husband's wealth. Remember what the Bible says about an eye for an eye? That Arab shiek probably took at least half of his $4 billion from the United States of America in exorbitant oil prices, and now his former lady wants half of it in an exorbitant demand. Serves him right. REMEMBER WHEN we told you about three weeks ago that Billy Joe Rish was going to be on CBS TV's evening news? He didn't make it, even though CBS was our source of information at the time. Well, Tuesday night, Billy Joe made it... on the Walter Cronkite evening news. Billy Joe was. interviewed about' a bill he introduced in the Legislature which would require prisoners able to do so, to pay for their room and board while in prison just as clients in the retarded centers and the state hospital at Chattahoochee are require to do if they have an income such as Soc0 Security. -- THE STAR POSTOFFICE BOX 308 SUBSCRIPTIONS INVARIABLY PAYABLE IN ADVANCE P) W(1%A, PHONE 227-1278 IN COUNTY-ONE YEAR.

When told by the .'.Municipal Hospital board of directors that the. hospital could no longer pay a doctor to do strictly emergency room work, Vazquez resigned here, since he had no contract here with the local hospital. The Board also took the position ' they could fund the emergen- n Medical practice Here cy room service for a doctor who wished to locate here i Port St. Joe and open practice.

Ailes said the clinic deals mostly with stress in adults and young people and the ways it affects people of all ages. The speaker said everyone faces stress at some time in their lives. "Stress isn't ne- cessarily bad since it is the ingredient which makes us compete", Ailes said. The clinic director said stress can occur from both happy and unhappy situations. "Stress is a necessary part of life even though it can cause problems at times", Ailes said. He said that in extreme cases, stress beyond what a person is able to cope with can lead to suicide. In pointing out the seriousness of stress and dealing with it, Ailes pointed out that suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in adults and the third leading cause in people between the ages of 15 and 24. Ailes said the local clinic does a great deal of work with school students, particularly in the area of stress. He said there are 27,000 -school chil- dren in Florida who are severely disturbed and 240,000 who need some typ, of treat- ment for stress. He said the stress can come from anxiety, non-acceptance by a child's peers, study problems, problems at home and a variety of things which can cause anxiety. p SAVE TWO WAYS The speaker said some of bed wetting, fear, fighting and the symptoms of stress are other aggressive behaviour. unnatural sleeping habits, eating problems, tantrums, FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Corner Third Street and Baltzell Avenue REV.

That's because almost each summer the Florida agency is asked to send squads of its well-trained men to assist with fires in other areas of the country. And since mountain fires are the toughest kind, more times than not, that's where the assistance is need- ed. The latest call for help came last week (August 7) when a crew of 19 men was dispatched to Idaho to battle a 400-acre blaze near Coeur d'Alene. ."The reason we get so many calls for assistance is two- fold," explained Division of Forestry Fire Chief Mike Long. "For one thing, our men are good fire fighters. Florida is one of the Pew states that require Its men to complete a 20OOhour fire-fighting course. "The other reason is that Florida's fire season comes at a different time than the fire season out West. This allows us to send men out there during the summer months without risk to Florida's fire protection." The men, using personal leave from state firefighting jobs, are expected to remain about two weeks in Idaho. The fire season in Florida traditionally falls between the months of December and April. The U.S. Forest Service coordinates national mutual- aid setup under which the Florida crews are requested. Operating out of a refurbished military base at Boise, Idaho, the Forest Service keeps track of available crews nationwide. Teams from eight other states were called to the Idaho fires along with the Florida crews. "The U.S. Forest Service is currently coordinating an ef- fort to: establish a uniform training course for all states, which will make the national mutual-aid program even more efficient," Long said. "Florida. is one. of the states involved in developing tqe program." Such a course would help to cut down on communications- differences and to familarize fire fighters nationwide with the unique fire situations of each region. 1/2 Utility Plywood 4 ft. x 8 ft.

The Recreational Park serves the needs of clients of Sunland departments across the state. The Youth Conservation Camp was an eight- week study program carried out through the cooperation of state and federal agencies: the U. S. Forest Service, Department of Agriculture and Department of Interior. Twenty youths participated in the work learn experience, which brought approximately $29,000 into Gulf County's economy. Work projects consisted of constructing nature trails, a bridge over a man-made pond, a pavilion, and thatched huts for rest areas. Study included an environmental awareness program and field trips.

'2 e9 THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY, AUGUST 23, 1974 PAG.E TlrHiIR.E Prime Target for Shopping Center Institutional Investors Eyeing Area to for Potential Opportunities '* Port St. Joe may not be one of Florida's boomtown markets today - 'but short-term prospects have little meaning to the influential group of real .estate institutions who are investing in the Gulf County area at the moment. "Institutional investors are more concerned with a market's long-term potential," says Seth Werner, president bf Coral Gables, Florida-based First Capital Companies. As the head of one of the institutional investors who are currently eyeing the Gulf County area for additional potential investment opportunities, Werner.directs a multi- million dollar. company that has already purchased more than 40 shopping centers, office buildings, warehouses and other commercial and industrial properties in Florida and the Southeast U.S. "We purchase each property on the basis of its quality and potential. The same criterion apply to the community in which the property is located," says Werner. "The size and current popula- tion of a market like Port St. Joe is not as important to us as the history of consistent growth the area has shown over the years as well as its potential for expansion in the future." "For example, a new community shopping center, or even an older center in Port St. Joe, would be the kind of investment we are seeking," said Werner. "If the center is older, we have the opportunity of redeveloping it. If there are other problems in areas such as tenant mix or community image, we can usually solve them. Since we do become part of a community once we purchase a property, its important that we have confidence in the area. We feel that Port St. Joe has only begun to play its role in Florida's future growth. "Recent U.S. Census statistics show that Florida's population is now 8,595,000 residents a 26.5 percent gain since 1970 and the largest gain of any state in the Southeast. Retail sales, an important statistic for an institutional investor like First Capital, are up 13.3 percent (three percent more than the U.S. average) to $8.71-billion. Other crucial areas where Florida excels are: personal income up 13.1 percent vs. 12.1 percent in the U.S.; employment - up 7.2 percent vs. only 4.1 percent in the U.S.; and commercial bank deposits are ahead of national averages." "Although our market research department is aware that statewide indicators may be deceiving when you narrow your view to a specific community," said Werner, "Gulf Coun- ty still came out strong in our analysis. Frankly, there are many existing shopping centers, office buildings, warehouses, financial facilities and other commercial and industrial pro- perties in the area that we'd like to own The fact that Port St. Joe is a stable community with conscientious leader- ship and positive long-term growth potential makes it a prime target for us."
