The new tax rate was adopted Tuesday night as an ago, when the thing literally caved in. The new system utilizes three water wells for the source of water supply. Two of emergency measure, as the tax bills for Gulf County will soon go into the mails and the certified mill rate must be on the tax notices. FENCE PERMIT Tom Ford, a resident of St. Ricky Larry All-State Four boys and one girl from the Shark basketball squads this season, were selected M for recognition by the Florida Sportswriters Association this past week end. Ricky-Larry, the Shark's sharp-shooting guard was the only Shark to make the first string of the mythical state team. The only other player from Northwest Florida on the team was William Brown of Chipley. Brown anchored the Chipley team, just as Larry did for Port St. Joe. It was a battle between Larry and Brown to see which team finally went to the State Tournament last month. It took the entire Shark team to send Port St. Joe to the state tournament, where they won the state'championship. The sportswrit- ers recognized this feat by providing honors for three other Sharks in their selections. John Pittman, Port St. Joe's defensive spark was selected for the second team. Jerry Filmore and Daryl Garland received honor- able mention. Candye Woullard of Port St. Joe was given honorable mention for the state-wide selections, and was the only lady Shark selected for honors by the writers. Several other well known area players were up for honors in the all-state selections. Florida High's Kenny Parker was picked for the second team. Blountstown's Greg Snowden and Wakulla's Ronnie Harris were selected to the third team. Blountstown's Vincent Bess received honorable mention. Larry, a six-foot guard, averaged 23.3 points for the Sharks, who finished their season with a 31-1 record. The single loss e by only one point to Wakulla in the Gulf ost Conference tournament. Pittman, a 6-foot forward, averaged 17.4 points for the Sharks but was most effective in rebounding. Filmore averaged 13.6 points for the Sharks and Garland was a defensive leader.

Ford said he was under the impression he must build the fence 25 feet behind the property line, but said doing this would put the.fence in the middle of his yard. He was asking for a variance to place the fence on the property line. Ford came before the Com- mission armed with letters from his neighbors stating they had no objections for the construction of the fence. Ford was told by the Com- mission that, so far as the Commission knew, there was no set-back line for fences ... only buildings. Ford was told t. at attorney William J. Rish wolild search the set-back ordinance and if there was no set-back requirement, Ford would be given a permit for his fence. If there was a 25-foot set-back requirement, the Commission would advertise for a public hearing to grant Ford a variance. Two Arrested for Burglary Port St. Joe Police arrested two young men last Monday, filing charges of two counts of burglary against them for the burglary of Lilius Jewelry and Kennedy Electric last week. Arrested were Michael Dunn, 24 and Archie Daniels, 26. They were released yes- terday on their own recogni- zance. Police chief Roy Robinsdon said it is possible other charges against the two will be pending. just east of the City's water treatment plant. The two former St. Joe Paper Company wells caved in last week, cutting off nearly two-thirds of the City's raw water capacity. Fortunately, the new system had been so constructed so as to make it possible to cut into the St. Joe Paper Canal supply in an emergency. The caving in of two water wells was definitely an emergency. Both the wells caved in at about the 300 to 400 foot depth and at this time nobody knows why. As a matter of fact, engin- eers are still not certain the wells have caved in, but the signs are there. In the course of the wells going sour, one of the new pumps purchased and placed on the wells was ruined by the debris the collapse sent to the surface while the pump was running. It's still anybody's guess as to what will have to be done to get the wells operating, drill new wells or make extensive repairs to the old ones and get them producing again. Nobody knows why the wells failed, since they were both tested by reputable firms before the City put them on the production lipe. The wells tested out good. During the next two weeks, the City will have the design engineers, Smith and Gillespie of Jacksonville, on the site to try and determine what went Swryoqjnd -What it will.take to pu the wells back in operating shape once again. Putting the wells back into shape once again could entail anything from having to drill new wells, an expensive prop- osition; to placing new casings points and possibly pumps in the existing wells. Only a thorough investigation of the matter will determine just what has to be done. Bob Gehrig, of Smith and Gillespie, and the designer of WOULD ERECT PLAQUE James Yates, representing the Veterans of Foreign Wars, asked the Commission for permission to place a plaque honoring Gulf County's fight- ing men in the park at the west end of Fifth Street. Yates was told that the City did not own the park in question and if the plaque was placed there, it might have to* be moved in the future. Yates was told that Clerk Farris would furnish him with a list of park property owned by the City, and the VFW could select a site, or still go for the original request, with the understanding that the mon- ument may have to be moved in the future. Yates said he would take the information back to the other members of the VFW.

There is no estimate avail- able at the present time as to just how long this situation will have to continue. Eye On the Ball With Dixie Youth baseball season opening on Monday, the teams are getting in some practice sessions this week. One of the main emphases of the practice session is learning to keep an eye on the ball. This Dixie Leaguer seems to be having trouble in this exercise, i la P th el co while the base runner advances.

The Clean-Up, Paint-Up, Fix-Up program has be- come a tradition here in the City for the past several years to clean up the ravages of winter and get ready for a new season. Already the City has embarked on a program of cleaning up and is offering an intensive program of trash hauling for the entire month of April, to encour- age cooperation with the. clean-up program. In conjunction with the program, the Commission authorized City Clerk Al- den Farris to write letters to all business houses dur- ing the coming week, to encourage them to clean up around the business dis- trict of the City and to become more conscious of the debris which is allowed to get loose and blow about the city. The City furnishes large metal containers for use by all business houses which request them, at.a modest monthly fee. The contain- ers are designed to hold the debris inside until it can be collected by the garbage trucks. Primarily, the Commis- sion is looking for an attitude of more concern about how our City looks.

A person who -:::,;wishes to use a gun for an illegal purpose will -: ::--get his hands on one, whether or not their ; ownership is legal. S:: Already it is illegal for a person to carry a concealed weapon without an official permit, Sbut Mr. Hinckley had no problem with that ': law.

The only trouble would be caused to the -"law-abiding citizen who wishes to purchase a gun to protect himself and his family, or to use -- -as a tool of recreation for target practice, etc. Television unwittingly tore up their long-standing case of trying to encourage gun controls when they showed comparative homicide figures for other countries in the world, caused by guns. The two nations with the least incidence of gun-related homicides were nations in which ownership of weapons is not only allowed, it is encouraged and required. Switzerland had the best record of homicides from gunfire, yet in Switzerland, every man is required to own a hand gun and an automatic weapon to back up his requirement for military service. All males in Switzerland are required to be in the reserves and own weapons, yet their gun related murder rate was less, far less, than in other nations prohibiting individual gun ownership without stringent controls. Israel was another case in which citizens are encouraged and required to own firearms, for protection, yet their gun related murder rates are among the lowest in the world. Most nations on the European continent are hampered by stringent gun control laws. They all have a comparatively light murder rate from gunfire, compared with that of the United States. Even this statistic is somewhat mis-leading. We would like to see the murder rate from all causes and compare ours with theirs. A person is just as dead, even if he is beaten to death with a toy hammer. Leaders, People, Not Singing The Same Moral Tune A story in the papers last week said U.S. leaders are not in touch with the. general public, especially in the matter of morals. The article pointed out that 74 percent of the American people still use the yardstick of religious teachings as determining what is right and what is wrong for people to do. Only about 66 percent of our leaders used these same principles. Although there was no intent to focus on it, religion still emerged as the one factor that consistently and dramatically affects the values and behavior of Americans. We suppose this is why the American people as a whole are shocked at the -revelation of their Congressmen spending the week end in a cottage with women here in Florida. The Congressmen seem to take the attitude that the only wrong done by them was to get caught at their activities. One of the researchers said he had no idea the research would turn up this standard accepted by the people. "But there it was," he said, "showing up in every sort of systematic analysis, a common thread. It's more than a movement. It's something running through the whole culture." The 337-page report said religion had penetrated almost every dimension of Ameri- can life and is a stronger determinant of our values than any other factor such as age, sex, economic status, race or whether a person is liberal or conservative. It reminds us of what Mammy used to say in "Lil Abner", "Good is because it is better than evil." SHUTTLE LAUNCH The space shuttle will be launched on April 10 for its trial flight in space. After several delays, the device is scheduled to go on the 10th. Technicians laid the delays to leaking fuel systems, engineering design failure, etc. We think the delay was planned for the 10th because the government felt it would have the money on hand on the 15th to pay for the trip. "i Watching The World Go By SGet Set for An Anti Gun -Propaganda Barrage S Adolph Bedsole ;The nation was horrified : angered last week at the Merciless shooting of Presi- ia t Reagan and three other J.i ~l We were reminded of other prominent Americans in recent years hwo where felled Sbythte assassin's bullets.Must S Americans always face the Spbisibility that their great leaders will be assassinated? Yes! - ;This becomes a ready made tool for the "gun control" platoon to mount the soap boxes and take to the air Waves. In fact, while -the President was still in surgery, gun control efforts were al- rqady warming up through the news media. Traffic accidents take an average of 140 lives a day on our highways. An average of 70 of these deaths per day are liquor related. So, on the day the President was shot 70 other Americans died as a result of liquor in the hands of drivers. Yet, there is no move to ban legal liquor, or highways, or automobiles. Why? The liquor industry has a strangled hold on America. They have done a monumental snow job on the American public. Society has been con- ditioned to meekly accept the ruthless ravages of the liquor industry in many areas of life. Back to guns-People kill people. A determined killer WILL get a gun, or another weapon. Take guns away from law abiding citizens and you will open the flood gates for criminals to invade every home and business in the nation. Removal of guns from the hands of her citizens would be a blanket invitation' to criminals to take what they want. Knowledge of the fact that a gun is in a home or an automobile is a powerful deterrent to the criminal. Even with this deterrent pre- vailing now, thieves, burglars and robbers are taking a heavy toll. Remove this deter- rant and crime would sweep the land. The minority evil force that would enslave a nation of people must get guns out of the hands of the citizenry. Com- munists know that the un- armed majority cannot suc- cessfully resist an armed minority. It is a well known ploy of Communists to play on the emotions of people in a time of national crisis as we have Experienced this week. Their punch lines sound like a broken record. Their phil- osophy is "Tell the people what you want them to accept (even a lie) often enough and loud enough and .they will finally accept it." In a nutshell, their text is "take- guns away from the citizens and it will stop assassinations." Nonsensel The guess here is that President Reagan himself will continue to oppose disarming the citizens. These tragedies are simply calculated risks that must be taken to' void more and worse tragedies to more people. One idea might reduce these senseless murders of our leaders-stop plea bargaining with criminals. Stop coddling the guilty! So, as you watch the world go by, get set for a re-run of the propaganda barrage, from the anti-gun platoon.

Republic's AFTER BEING GONE FROM home and Port St. Joe for just two days mfiere than two weeks, I got back home last Tuesday night. S I came home by Republic's flying duck and I was certainly glad I was on a duck when we landed at Panama City. As we approached the half-way Mark between Atlanta and Panama City, we ran into overcast conditions and couldn't see the ground. The closer S. we got to Panama City, the more dense Sthe overcast became. As we came down on the approach, the overcast began to grow dark and you couldn't see out the Window.

There was to be no outside showing of beauty anywhere in the land. Art work, enjoyable literature, beautiful vases, furniture, or pictures were to be done away with. All beauty was to be stricken from everyday life. Now, with a change in attitude in China, the people are allowed to bring some beauty into their lives once more. Since it has been 15 year since beauty was officially allowed in the nation, the article said, "Younger people don't know how to appreciate beauty, and many do not understand why they should." That's a pitiful state to be in. China was a nation which was noted world- wide for its ancient works of art. Now, they have a generation which doesn't know what beauty is or how to react to it when they see it. I don't really know how the government handled the spring time of the year, when beauty shows itself whether the government allows it or Tides High and low tides for St. Joseph's Bay for the upcoming week are shown in the tide table below, furnished by the U.

April 15 Is Deadline for Filing Earnings for S. S. Annual reports of 1980 earn- ings must be filed by April 15 by people receiving-social security benefits who earned more than the annual exempt .amount in 1980, David Robin- son, Social Security Field Representative for Gulf County, said recently. The 1980 annual exempt amounts were $5,000 for people 65 and over and $3,720 for people uider 65 as of last' 'year. People who received some ;benefits in 1980 and who earned more than the exempt amount are required to file a report of those earnings by April 15. Those who received no, benefits in 1980 are not re- quired to file a report, but, Robinson said, those people should file a report.to make sure that 'any benefits that might be due for the year are paid. A person who earned less than anticipated, for ekamle,. may be due some benefits. Robinson said the only way these benefits can be paid is if the person files an annual report. The general rule is that $1 in benefits is withheld for each $2 of earnings above the exempt amount. A person can have substantial yearly earnings. before all benefits are withheld ; For example, a 65-year-old person whose monthly benefit rate is $350 could earn $13,400 before all benefits for 1980 were withheld, Robinson said. People who are required to file. ah anfiial'r'epoft"should have received a copy in the mail. If they have not, they should contact the nearest social security office to obtain a copy. Those not required to file, but. wish to do so, can also get a copy of the form at any social security office. The 1981 annual. exempt amounts are'$5,500 for people 65 or older any part of 1981 and $4,080 for people under 65 all of 1981. More information about an- nual reports and the annual earnings test can be obtained at .the Panama* City Social Security Office, located at 30 West Government Street.

Advance by Roy Lee Carter County Extenslen Director Getting the most out of your lime dollar -requires a little planning head and a little knowledge ofhow lime works. Follow these guidelines to get the best result. Soil Test: Determine the need for lime by testing the soil.You can t afford to guess when the answer could mean a crop success ora failure. Too may times a grower has assumed that because he limed a field, garden or lawn several years ago it is still in good shape. The pH of an in- tensively farmed soil can change very' rapidly, parti- cularly if much nitrogen has been applied. Lime takes Time: Lime- stone is very insoluble. It takes time for it to react with the acids in the soil. For this season, it should be applied at least three months before seeding the most sensitive crop. Some of the most native crops are peas, A and soybeans. Planning Guides , A finely grond.imestone acre,orll.5lbs.per100sq. ft., WedsJerome Blackman ,..-$1 ... ....

If you can- not wait three months from time of lime spreading to seeding a sensitive crop, use a 'limestone that has a fineness analysis of at least 50 percent passing through a 100 mesh sieve. . Apply amount needed: You had the soil tested, so follow the recommendations. This is no place to skimp. If you need more than 5,000 pounds per t is best to worn nal ou me amount deeply into the root zone and work half into the upper three inches. When liming, you want to create a favorable environment throughout the root zone. If you are liming a past-ire or lawn and you need more than 5,000 pounds per acre or 11.5 lbs. per 100 sq. ft.,split the application. Apply hlf in the spring and half in the fall.

Now that the Port Authority is actually securing the names of firms who would use a port facility here in Port St. Joe to satisfy bankers as to the feasibility of interim financing of .the project, Port Authority chairman George Tapper says his group needs some addi- tional information in securing the letters of intent. Tapper said hbs committee is already getting specific, inquiries for locating plants and-or using future port facili- ties here and is beginning to see a need for the County to make a decision as to whether or not they will offer special tax exemptions for new indus- ,try located here, agdrimitted by the Florida Legislature in its last session. The tax breaks must be offered by a vote of the people. The County Commission must call for the special election to make the decision as to whether or not the county is to be allowed to make the concessions. Tapper says it is now imperative to have the elec- tion to allow the people to make the decision. He points out in a letter to Commission Chairman James L. Tankers- ley that adjoining counties have already approved the tax concession advantage and it is now up to Glf County to make the decision in order to be able to compete. Tapper asks that the matter be taken up at the next meeting of the County Board. The next meeting is Tuesday' morning of next week.. The jewels in a jewel watch are usually rubies or sapphires.

Last Friday the Sharks travelled to Blountstown to take on their conference and district foes, the Tigers. In spite of nine erros in the game, the Sharks placed timely hits to defeat the Tigers 10-5. The Sharks wasted no time getting on the scoreboard as they started the game with three big runs and never looked back. In the first inning, a key single by David Bearden, followed by a two RBI double by Pat Kerigan, set the stage for the game. St. Joe picked up another run in the third, one in the fifth inning, one in the sixth and finished the game with a big four run seventh inning. In the final inning, Ashley Abrams singled and Tim Stutzman placed a two RBI double to pace the Sharks. Tim Stutz- man was the winning pitcher, bringing his record to 3-0. HAVANA The Sharks travelled to Havana last Saturday for a conference double-header. The Sharks had an easy time. of it as Coach Colbert played the bench to chalk up two more wins for the home team. The Sharks won the first game 13-4, and the second game 11-2. The Sharks scored in every inning but one in the first game as Paul Davidson pick- ed up a double and a single for three RBI's. Ashley Abrams added a three RBI triple, David Bearden a two RBI single and Bo Burke added two key singles.. Pat Kerigan ran his record to 2-2 as St. Joe slammed out 11 hits.

The Sharks lost 10-0 in their first game with Bowling Green. A big nine-run third inning iced the game for the visitors as the Sharks only the services of Russel and Axon, engineers, to do an in-depth test of the city's sewage collection system to see where areas are which need repair to st6p infiltration of surface water. The city is sending too much sewage effluent into the treat-" ment system because of the infiltration of drainage water, surface water and rain water, costing the city money in its treatment. Russel and Axon are cur- rently doing a 201 study of the collection and treatment sys- tem and found the collection system to be leaking a revelation which was not altogether news to the Com- mission. To pinpoint the problem areas, the lines must be tested with smoke and examined with a TV camera to locate the broken places so they can be repaired. This is the job Russel and, Axon will do.

In 1980, the catch was more like 20 million pounds, with more than 12 million. pounds of this catch -inade right herelin-this area. As an example of the export market and the vast potential available from this source, Raffield said he witnessed a ship load of frozen fish, shipped by his firm; being unloaded in Nigeria. Women on the docks took the boxes of frozen fish and took them into the city, selling them, one by one, right out of the box. "They have no refrigeration in Nigeria and other places. The fish product is eaten immediately. It is purchased whole,- and-,dumpedv"fjties, feathers, guts and all" into a pot of cooking food for season- ing and consumption by the family. Raffield said such a fish sells for about 75 cents per pound to a poor people who are glad to get it. In America, the consump- tion of seafood products has doubled over the past several years. "Still, we are picking only the cream of the crop to eat here", Raffield said. Because of its selective seafood diet,'Americans still import 70 percent of what they consume.

Memories are not forgotten because they break away From family ties, but help enrich their lives from day to day For we showed them the way So don't destroy the love you have with your daughter or with son By speaking words and doing things that cannot be up-done, Remember love and fun. So fill the quiet hours with praise God gives them for a while For us to teach them how to love then pass it with a smile For they are our child. For God meant us to share our love as He shared us His Son, So we should open up our hearts to share love with the one That's learned the joy of giving love to our daughter or our son, Only then, have we won. -The Sand Dollar Instead of taking out French doors, create the illusion of more space in a room by covering glass panes with mirror foil. more sponsors and more volunteer workers,".said Bow- en, "But I know the wonderful people of Port St. Joe won't let us down.

Gulf Coast Community Col- lege will soon be sending out over 5.000 surveys to citizens in Bay, Gulf and Franklin Counties, the three counties served by GCCC, in an effort to determine what the public wants the college to do in community services. The Florida Legislature, through the Department of Education, funds a variety of non-credit courses and pro- jects under the heading of "Community Instructional Services" or CIS. The GCCC survey will be used to evaluate community needs that can be addressed through CIS pro- gramming. Ann Richards, coordinator of Community Instructional Services for Gulf Coast point- ed out that the survey is only one part of the needs assess- ment process. "The survey will be followed up by a poll of social service agencies in the tri-county district," Ms. Richards said. "This information will by used to double-check -and confirm the findings of the community survey." This data will then be correlated with community data from various statistical. publications to render an overall profile of community education needs, as well as individual need profiles for each of the three counties. The survey that members of the community served by Gulf Coast will receive is designed to evaluate educational needs in seven categories; environ- ment, safety, government, health, human relations, child rearing and consumer eco- nomics. Gulf Coast activities in CIS programming, in cooperation with the Bay, Gulf and Frank- lin County .school systems, have recently stressed pro- gramming for the elderly, displaced homemakers and consumers as priority mis- sions. "Our priorities are related to the survey results," Ms. Richards said. "We have to take stock and see what our future direction should be." Dr. Lewis Baber, associate dean of instruction, is the' chairman of the Region III Coordinating Council for CIS projects and he stressed the MEXICO BEACH.

BOARD of COUNTY COMMISSION GULF CbUNTY, FLORIDA lames Tankersley, Chairman economies, which says more about unstable conditions than about Florida's success. Florida Trend feels that overall 1980 was a "frighten- ingly sluggish" year with some signs of recovery in the final months. However, when all Florida's 1980 growth is adjusted for inflation and divided by its population, the progress of the Sunshine State simply disappears, Figured on this basis, hous- ing sales actually were down 16.7 percent; retail sales down to 0 growth: tourism down 0.6 percent and real per capital income down 0.9 percent. 1981, the magazine claims, won't be much better. Real per capital income will decline 0.7 percent and unemploy-' ment will increase to six percent. Other mounting, long-term problems stem from growth, inflation (particularly energy costs) and federal budget-cut- ting. Rising energy costs, may reduce retail spending, which will cut into the four percent retail sales tax, a revenue source on which Florida relies heavily. Highway maintenance looms as another rocky road. A state Department of Trans- portation official predicts gloomily, "At the present level of gas tax and revenue ratios, by 1988 we couldn't even maintain the existing system, let alone build new roads." The reason is decreas- ing gas taxes collected on decreasing gallons purchased by motorists. Figures may .not lie, but sometimes they can obscure significant developments in the Florida economy, accord- ing to the April issue 'of Florida Trend,. the business magazine's annual Economic Yearbook. Florida is growing like few other states. During 1980, the state's population grew at a three percent annual rate, hitting a 'total of 9.74 million people: Taxable sales jumped 14.8 percent; personal income rose by 12.6 percent. Approxi- mately 37 million tourists spent-$16 billion. There were 160,000 housing starts in 1980. At least 62 firms committed to establish Flor- ida facilities creating 19,000 jobs and bringing in more than $1 billion in, investments; Foreign trade grew from $13 billion'to $16 billion. These and other commonly reported statistics tend to present a far healthier image of the Florida economy than really exists, say Florida 'Trend economists. Often bad years are made to look good by comparing them to even worse years. Also, Florida's economy sometimes is com- pared to.national or northern More than 41,000 people have died on Florida's streets and highways in motor vehicle crashes during the last 20 years said the Florida High- way Patrol today. "And every year the total continues to increase," said Colonel Eldridge Beach, Patrol director. "When the other two mil- lion, seven hundred thousand persons who were injured during the same 20 years are added, the result is stagger- ing." "Street crime which takes many lives and is also on the upswing may be more sen- sational but the families and friends of persons killed in any manner are always deeply affected." The patrol's records show that traffic deaths in 1981 are running about 20 percent Big Softball Tournament Being Planned In Wewa A.S.A Sanctioned Invita- Tournament will be held. at tional Slow Pitch Softball T.L.

Indeed, the Secretary of State has provided a strong case for showing Soviet com- plicity in supplying arms, train- ing and shelter for a vast array of terrorist organizations. Although our nation has been fortunate enough to escape the brunt of terrorist ac- tivity within its own border, it would be incorrect to state that our nation has not felt its wrath. Political assassinations and indiscriminate bombings by left-wing and right-wing ex- tremist groups such as the Weathermen and the Ku Klux Klan are on the rise, Fortunately, the Reagan Administration has stated the containment of terrorism is one of its'top. priorities. Other Nations concerned with 'the proliferation of terrorism are joining together to fight back by tightening security measures and boycotting those nations which harbor or aid terrorists. In addition, the Senate has created the Subcommittee on Security and Terrorism to monitor domestic and interna- tional terrorism. It is imperative that we con- tinue to combat terrorism if our nation is to remain free and strong.
