Five hundred and seven absentee ballots were holding up final results of Gulf County's first primary election yesterday afternoon at 2:00 p.m., and there were no plans to actually start counting the ballots when The Star had to go to press. Ope of the main objections to the legalty of the absentee ballots were made by Al Harrison and Sheriff Ken Murphy, both of whom' had lawyers representing. their interests before the canvassing board. , "'the board is charged with verifying the official count. The canvassing board, made dp of County Commission chairman, Everette Owens, commissioner Doug Bir- mingham and County Judge David Taunton had been most of the morning verifying the count of the voting machines and awaiting the exhaustion of all challenges against the absentees before their final decision was made. Sheriff Murphy, who was represented by attorney Dayton Logue, had to get 48 more votes than challener Al Harrison, to keep Harrison from wifirng election inr the first primary. Harrienywas represented by attorney Mike Hutto. 1 Several of the races were not completel- ly settled by the balloting Tuesday, but the' only other contests which could easily be changed by the absentee ballot count were S::::::.::':;:.':;::;::::.'.:;:'.. :::!:;:: :!:1 : *:M B Bulletin Sheriff's Race In Run-Off Al Harrison, candidate for Gulf County Sheriff against incumbent Ken Murphy, fail- ed to win a first primary vic- tory by two votes according to unofficial totals following *canvassing of the absentee ballots at 4:30 p.m. Wednes- day afternoon.

We can't get started counting the absentees until all the challenges are heard and that might be as late as tomorrow". CLEAR WINNERS On a local level, five contests were decided Tuesday night. Newcomer Kesley Colbert won a clear victory over incumbent Joyce Williams Tuesday. In his first bid for public office, Colbert had 2,560 votes against 2,039 for Williams.

Franchises With a pitched interest in the elections ballots being tallied up and revealed at about the time the City Commission meeting started Tuesday, interest in the meeting was understandably not at a fever pitch Tuesday, night. /"' Even 's.g' the Commission agreed to consider renewal of I. two utility franchises which are up for renewal during the, year. Jim Cox, manager of Flor- ida Power Corporation had advised the Commission ear- lier this year that the fran- chise with his firm expired next year and it was possible for the City to re-new bhe franchise this year and re- ceive a six percent annual contribution from the firm for the privilege of operating here. In the current fran- chise, Florida Power pays the City four percent of its operating revenues to the City. The franchise payments are little more than a tax against the users, however, Conimmunity Pep Rally This Evening to Build Team Spirit 'A conmunity-wide pep rally will kick oif the football season here in Port St. ,e this evening. Sponsored by the ,nrst Baptist Church, the rally is open to everyone in the community, who wish to attend and help weld the community behind the high school football team as it begins its new season. The event will be held at the City Park at the corner of Fifth Street and Highway 98, beside the Florida National Bank, starting at 7:30 p.m. The rally will feature the football team, its coaches, the cheering squad, the high school band and others involved in the season. According to Rev. Howard Brow- ning, organizer of the rally, the band will play, the cheerleaders will lead those attending in school cheers and, in the words of Rev. Browning, "we'll just all join together in boosting our community, our school and our team." Featured on the program will be Mayor Frank Pate, Superintendent of Schools Walter Wilder, Principal Edwin Williams and the coaching staff. The band will be under the direction of Wayne Land and the cheerleaders are directed by Mrs. Martha Sanborn. The Port St. Joe Kiwanis Club will be operating a refreshment stand at the rally. "Everyone is invited!" Rev. Brow- ning said. as they are included in the bills sent to the users. Cox said the increase from four to six percent payments to the City would hike the average electric bill by about a dollar. The Commission decided to leave the power company contribution to the City as it presently is for the time being and not consider re- newal of the 30 year pact until it runs out next year. Mayor Frank Pate advised the Commission he had been informed the franchise with St. Joseph Telephone and Telegraph runs out this year and the Commission must consider whether or not to renew the agreement with. the firm. There is no payment to the City in this franchise as there is with Florida Power. HOSPITAL DEAL The Commission called the Baptist Hospital officials into a conference last week, in an attempt to get a commitment from the hospital manage- ment for up-grading the medical treatment capabili- ties here in Port SL- Joe at Gulf Pines. A long-range commitment from Baptist has ignored the (Continued on Page 5) New Postmaster Take, Like the Atlanta Braves, the United States Postal Service has been bombard- ing the Port St. Joe Post Office with a series of relief pitchers for the past several years since the retirement of long-time Postmaster Chaun- cey Costin a few years ago. This week, the service sent a permanent Postmaster to Port St. Joe to replace a series of officers in charge who have operated here for the better part of a year. Robert Oliver, a native of Pensacola, took over the duties of directing the activi- ties of the Post Office Satur- day, taking over from Carl Ward, who has been serving as officer in charge since this past spring. Oliver has been with the postal service for 31 years and has served in offices in his 'native Florida and in Ohio. Most recently, he has been in the Milton and Pensacola areas, with the postal service. Oliver says he is married and has five children. "All my children are grown, now, so it is just my wife and I at home", he said. Oliver said he will be moving to Port St. Joe in the near future, as soon as he can s Over Operation of Port St. locate a suitable place to live. that dedication during his The new postmaster stated postal career. he is "dedicated to customer Ward, who came to Port St. service" and has followed Joe in April of this year in a Carl Ward, left, officer incharge of the Port St. Joe Post Office since April, welcomes and turns over the keys to Port St. Joe Office caretaker position, will be returning to his regular position in the Panama City office.

These are easy to keep up with because they have the same name all over the United States, even though their advent comes at different times in different places. Here in the Panhandle, there is a fifth season which makes its appearance here at about the same time it is ushered in in other parts of the nation too. That is the football season added joyfully to the spring season, the summer season, the fall season and the winter season. Close behind the football sea- son and nearly qualifying for the sixth season of the year in these parts, is the basketball season. Right now, though, we are having the football season come in upon us this week, when the local high school "Sharks", and in the northern end of the county, the "Gators" will both begin playing ball and furnish a topic of conver- sation to fill the void just left by the ending of the bulk of the election ,-season. People in the Panhandle-Gulf county's portion of the Panhandle, especially-are "taken'. with foot- ball. If one had to find a good Satisfyi SAfter considerable planning and some sophisticated study as to ;just what to do about the problem, :.the County Commission has finally :-took a concrete step and voted to spend a half million dollars to satisfy the demands of the Depart- ment of Environmental Regulation in handling our solid wastehere in xulf County. In a joint effort by .the City of Port St. Joe and Gulf County, a contract was let last week for a Panama City firm to construct a compactor plant to serve as a giant garbage compactor, compressing the solid waste into a smaller volume and sending it to the north end of the county to place in the only 'acceptable landfill in the county. This was a deal cut, over the past couple of years, between Port St. Joe and the county in a joint effort to keep our county clean and to try and meet the requirements of DER. It wasn't the best of deals but\ it was necessary to get something done in an area in which hardly anyone knew' what to do. You see, reason for kids to go to school, a Panhandle resident could justify it by the fact it gives the kids a chance to play football. We're not saying football is king here, but anything else which might be considered king, is so far in second place as not to even be considered. Healthy rivalries exist between the schools of the Panhandle with all of them claiming to be "number one" at one time'or another or all the time. There may be some deep-seat- ed reason why the hurricane season and football season seem to arrive at the same time, although we can't come up with a reason as to why they do. Both hurricanes and football teams have a good bit of "authority" behind their activi- ties and both are the object of some real, rapt attention here in our part of the country. We don't know just how much attention will be brought to bear on the two hurricanes forming at this moment in the Atlantic Ocean but we can be sure that for the next 10 or 11 weeks, the game of football will be given real serious attention by our people. It will be a respite from the slumping Braves. ng DER the people of Port St. Joe have paid more than their share to help place a facility here for the entire southern end of the county to use. While Port St. Joe taxpayers will pay for their city's share in the deal, they will also help pay for the county's share, in, the cooperative effort as well. People who do not live in the city will pay on only the county's share. This looks like a bad deal for those who live in the city, but it really isn't all that bad. The county will be charged by DER with the responsibility of keeping the solid waste program operating properly. The county will be charged with the management. Of course, they will be managing for everyone, but were, it not for the arrangement, Port St. Joe would have to go it alone and meet the requirements of DER also. We believe the cooperative deal is good for everyone and will serve to give us unity in dealing with DER in the future, in an effort to do what needs to be done in order to protect our environment and do it at a cost we can all afford. By Kesley Colbert Old Mr. Jack Cantrell- bless his heart. I guess it's been 15 years since I've seen Mr. Jack and it's more like 22 or 23 years ago since he helped me out of a pretty rough situation. I never knew Mr. Jack when he was- n't old, but he was always an O.K. kinda guy. But I want to tell you about the time that old Mr. Jack became more than just an O.K. guy. We had this load of hay and my Dad wanted Leon, Dave and I to take it over to Dewayne Melton's and put it up in his barn. Well, we weren't exactly thrilled at the prospect of spending our Saturday afternoon hauling hay, but my Dad never gave you a whole lot of options so it never crossed our minds to mention to him that we might not want to haul hay that day. Besides my Dad couldn't do it as he was a'taking a load of hogs down to Tupelo, Mississippi. As we pulled out of the yard he said, "Be careful and don't mess up". Leon was the oldest, being about 14 or 15 at the time, so he's driving the tractor and Dave and I are riding on top of the hay. We got just about to town and something broke on the tractor. Well, Leon said later that something broke on the tractor. I always kind'a figured that he just decided to drive over into the ditch. Leon could do some odd things at times. All I know for sure is one minute we're riding down the high- way talking about that new, high powered, coon dog of Uncle Cliff's, and the next minute we take a hard left, go across the road and run straight into the ditch. The wagon came unhitched and ran over Leon and the trac- tor; and 79 bales of hay and two scared boys fell all over state road 45. When the dust settled and we found Leon and pulled him out from under the hay and the wagon, he looks up at us and cries, "What was the last thing Daddy said?" You talk about a mess. We're sitting there on a bale of hay pondering the world situation when Mr. Jack pulls up and says, "Howdy boys". Already you can see that Mr. Jack is O.K. 'cause he didn't ask what happened when any fool could see that our hay wagon had turned over and we had bad trouble. Well, Mr. Jack got us to unload what hay is left on the wagon, we pulled the wagon off the tractor and then he tied a chain to his pick-up and pulled the tractor back up onto the road. He then assessed the damages. The trailer hitch is broken clean in two, and worse than that there's some kind of tie rod or something broke on the tractor. Old Mr. Jack is a part time welder. Ain't God good. He pulled the tractor into town to his little shop and worked for about an hour and a half on that tie rod or whatever it was. By the time he gets it fixed it's just about lunch time, so Mr. Jack takes us all over to the City Cafe for a hamburger and a coke. Mr. Jack pays for two reasons: 1) he's a nice man 2) me and Leon and David didn't have one red cent be- tween us. After lunch Mr. Jack goes back down to the scene of the accident and pulls the wagon up to the shop and in about another hour and a half (I said Mr. Jack was nice, I didn't say he was speedy) he had that trailer hitch fixed. We get the trailer hitched up and go back to pick up our hay. Well, Mr. Jack follows us, helps us load up the hay and then follows us all the way out to Mr. Melton's to make sure nothing else goes wrong. Can you believe it, Mr. Jack had spent a whole day helping three little boys that he hardly knew. But now we get to the embarass- ing part. It was time for tlsto say, "Mr. Jack, how much do we owe you?" Of course, Leon almost choked getting that out 'cause everybody standing around knew that we didn't have any money. Mr. Jack smiles down at us and said, "Boys, you don't owe me nothing maybe someday you can do a good deed for someone." You see why even after all these years, Mr. Jack is still one of my all-time favorite people. I've often said to my- self that if I lived to be a thousand years old, I'd never meet another person as nice and as helpful as him. Boy howdy, was I wrong because in the past few weeks in Gulf County I've seen hundreds of folks just like old Mr. Jack. Thank you. Respectfully, Kesley First Primary Politicking Dredged Up A Lot of Interest In Gulf County THERE'S NO DOUBT about it. There are those about us today who are exceeding glad and there are those who are exceeding sad. Some won at least a second chance in the primary voting of this Tuesday past. Some won a decisive victory and some didn't have enough to count when the day was done in order to get the job done like they wanted to see it done. I don't know when I have ever seen a harder working bunch of political hopefuls in all my years of reporting on the political happenings here in Gulf County. I can remember back when a politician thought he was -..doing all that was needed to get his candidacy before the people if he had a couple of thousand cards printed and a few handbills. Those who went to all the trouble and expense of putting their picture on their cam- paign literature were really getting into the spirit of campaigning. Now, it's a rarity that we print a piece of campaign literature without the can- "didate's picture being placed on it. "Campaign literature is more special- ized and more personalized now than it was 20 or 25 yeprs ago. THERE WAS A DAY some years ago, when it was a necessity to have a antique and a novelty. As a matter of fact, it's a novelty already because nobody uses it anyinore. I don't believe I have ever seen an election in Gulf County in which sn ETAOIN SHRDLU By: We few posters printed up telling folks what you wanted to know, around election time. Almost all of us printers had a supply of large wood type to print the posters and large circulars. We still have some filed away for posterity here at The Star, but it has been a long time since we have used- it. One of these days that type will be a genuine I just hope those who put them up ill remember to take them down. ONE THING ABOUT this year's section which caused us some dismay t / esley R. Ramsey many posters were used. It's hard to find an intersection or corner here in the county, where there are not some posters tacked to a tree, or post. Posters have been a big item for this year's election, ranging all the way from the professionally prepared models to the hundreds of hand- painted ones which have taken over the places with heavy traffic. was some of the statements made by a few of the candidates. In some cases, the statements were just plain false- hoods, stated, we suspect, from the way a candidate heard something rather than the way he knew to be fact. Some statements insinuated facts when in reality the statements had nothing to do with the fact being alluded to. In other words, there was a bit of making claims which just were not true or based on fact during this election. It has been so in other elections, too, but I like to think our people are getting too smart to be taken by double statements and claims not based on actual fact. In many cases, a claim was made like a candidate would have liked for the situation to be, rather than like it was. Admittedly, this sort of thing is getting less and less. Our people are getting more knowledgable about what is going on around them. The people are harder to fool and I think that's good. There's nothing like sending voters to the polls to make a decision on something he knows something about. REGARDLESS OF HOW things advance, however, elections are still a popularity contest here in Gulf County. Almost all our candidates are taking in big bucks for their services and the tax payer is paying the bill. Still, there is that old tendency to vote for.the "good old boy" to a certain extent. In some cases, the one elected has to hire someone to actually do the work, while he draws a sizeable salary at the expense of the tax payer. But, it has happened before, so I guess it will continue happening on into the future. So far, we here in Gulf County haven't been hurt too much by incompetence of our elected public servants. For the most part, they have been pretty capable and at least able to learn how to do the job they were elected to do. Since this was writter2 beforee election day on Tuesday, we cah"'t say for certain this will be the case thi o year, but we can have a little confidence in the people to select the competent person in each instance. Anyhow, what we voted for on Tuesday is V4,t we will have for awhile. I feel w&, et by and continue to progress in spite "'r because of the ones we happened to this past Tuesday and the ones we finish electing in October. *, Tides The tide action in St. Joseph's Bay is shown in the tide table below.

Sharks Try Vernon Port St. Joe's Sharks will be trying to improve on their sparkling 7-3 season pf last year, when they begin the- season in- Shark stadium Friday night against what is said to be an improved Vernon squad. Last year, the Sharks edged Vernon on their home season, to begin a five game winning streak before losing their first game to DeFtiniak Springs. Head coach Shaw Maddox, in his third year as head coach, has 16 team members returning from last year. According to Maddox, most of the veterans are playing in the more visible positions, such as signal-caller firun'ersetc." , "Most people don't see" the skfllf!ivo'-ea'mi' getting these people where they are supposed to go, but we have veterans among the blockers and tacklers also, and they will be operating effectively in every game we play this year." That seemed to be Maddox's prediction for the year. "We will be competitive on every Friday night we play", the head coach pointed out emphatically. After the impressive showing with their jamboree win over big Bay High School last week, Maddox may have more than wishful thinking backing up this prediction. Maddox said this year, Port St. Joe fans will see speed as an attribute to a Shark squad. While the weight factor is definitely a plus for this year's squad,' the team-will be-fast as well. "We're not use to that", Maddox said Spectators will see almost the same team on On Home Gridiron the field which rolled up last year's 7-3 record. "Butts will be back at quarterback and Pittman, Jenkins and Harris will be back in the backfield. carrying the football", Maddox said. Returning veterans who are expected to anchor the line will be Stan Peters at 193 pounds, Curtis Ray, who has finally grown up and now weighs a strapping 235, Richard Ramsey at 176 and Jimmy Walding .at 149. Impressive newcomers to the Shark line are Dwight Cearley at 215 pounds and Arthur North at 182. Both are in their first year with the Sharks. Cearley, who also stands 6' 3", brings a lot of good credentials with him and the coaches'are expecting.him to be a definite plus to the Sharks' future. The line will be filled out on the "'weak" side ,by Jim Norton, a tough veteran guard, Lee Parker at 148 pounds and veteran Michael Quinn, who had a team-leading 151 tackles last year. Joe Purswell will also see plenty of action on the line. Most of the Sharks go both ways, but defensive specialists who will see action Friday night will be Walter Seabrook, Bobby Baker, Tan Smiley and Doug Robinson. All are lean, mean, fighting machines. Defensive backs will include Tommy Johnson, Sidney Harris and John Smith,. 'Head coach Maddox-will be assistedby John Hicks, Kesley Colbert, Wayne Stevens and Rick Hatcher this year. 1984 WEWAHITCHKA GATORS: Front row, from left: Jerry Harrelson, Stacey Driggers, Billy Joe Smiley, Clifford Wiley, Perry McDonald, Chris Dean.

Middle row, from left: Derry Hartley, Bobby Rhodes, Mark Pridgeon, Jerry Rhames, Gators Have Home Coming off an0-10 season last year and with a new head :coach guiding the team, the, Wewahitchka Gators figure they have no way to go but up this football season which starts at home for them Friday night, against' another team which had its troubles last year, Apalachiebla . New head coach, Dennis Kizziah, in his first year at Wewahitchka, spent his time on the sidelines for the past three or four years, in Port St. Joe, as an assistant for the Sh~aks. With the resignation of Wewa's Bobo Owens last year, Kizziah was moved into the vacancy. Kizziah says his young team (still only nine seniors on essentially the same team as fielded last year by ,the Gators) are going to be "definitely competitive" in every game and "we're definitely not going to go 0-10 this year!" The Gators have practically the same team as they fielded last year, with two or three exceptions. Of course, those boys have grown into young men during the past year and the Gators will have a line which will average about 180 pounds per man. "Our biggest asset is our offensive line", Kizziah said. The line is 'anchored by tackles weighing 225 and 185 pounds, with the other line members matching the tackles almost pound for pound. The line will feature Brook Wooten at center, 84 Gator Schedule Sept. 7 Sept. 14, Sept. 21 Sept. 28 Oct. 12 Oct. 19 Oct. 26 Nov. 2 ,: Nov. 9 Nov. 16 Apalaphicola Carrabelle ... Greensboro..

The new head coach says his backfield is as green as his line is experienced. "We're starting with a completely new backfield which has never played football before", Kizziah said. The team director said the Gators are starting with a new sophomore quarterback this year with Billy Joe Smiley calling the signals. The backfield will be rounded out with Roy Myers; ToddSterzoy and Terry Harrelson as running backs and Ed Baxley and Mike Ward at fullback. The Gators will also be bolstered by the return of two year veterans, Ed Baxley, Jerry Rhames, Danny Mc Corvey, Clifford Wiley and Mark Pridgeon, who are expected to add stability to what otherwise will be a young Gator team. The Gators will play a 10-game schedule this year which could be tough from top to bottom.

THURSDAY, SEPT. 6, 1984 Now Is T Plants i BY ROY LEE CARTER County Extension Director September is the beginning of the fall gardening season. It's time to do just about everything in your Florida garden. Things to consider are seedbed preparation and planting of a vegetable gar- den and annual flowers, general clean-up of the home grounds, planting hardy shrubs, and preparation for insects and diseases on lawns and ornamentals. If you want a fall flower garden, start preparing a good planting bed. Locate the plot in an area which re- ceives full sun at least half a day, and stay away from large trees. Tree roots are strong competitors for fertili- zer and water, so plant your vegetables or annuals in a spot where trees won't comp- pete. Hardy annuals, which will survive cold weather, you can plant in late September include: Alyssum, colendula, candytuft, cleome, dianthus, gaillardia, baby's breath, nasturtium, pansies, petu- W nias, phlox, snapdragons, sweet peas, verbena, and violas. These are just a few of the plants which can be started now. Your garden shop will have more. September and October are the months when gibber- ellic acid is used on camel- lias. On many varieties, the flower size may be increased significantly, producing a bloom much earlier than would be the case without treatment. Select a well- rime to Begin Preparing nd Gardens for the Fall developed flower bud. Re- move the pointed growth bud adjacent to the flower bud. A small cup will be left where the growth bud has been removed. Fill the cup with one drop.of the acid solution. Usually a difference in bud size between treated and untreated camellia buds is apparent in a week. By encouraging earlier flowering in camellias, freeze damage is reduced and flowers become avail- able for holiday decorations. A compact poinsettia plant may be obtained at flowering time, if the plants are pruned several times during the growing season. The new growth, after it is 12 inches long, should be cut back, leaving four leaves on each CARTER Cheering Clinic Is Offered Saturday shoot. This operation should be repeated every time the new growth develops until about September. Pruning after September 10th may interfere with flowering, as these plants set their buds soon after October 10th. Watch your lawn and orna- mental plants for pests. It's still warm enough for insects like scales, white flies, mites, aphids, and caterpillars to be damaging shrubs. Watch out for these problems and start control measures as soon as you notice damage. Don't delay your fall gar- den activities. There's a lot to be done now, and even more next month.

Sharks Defeat Bay 6-0 Win Jamboree Port St. Joe's Sharks exe- night, defeating a big Pan- in overtime to defeat the cuted like winners Friday ama City Bay High team, 6-0 Tornadoes in the jamboree. Jubilant Sharks gather in a victory circle around Chris Butts, quarterback, and Greg Gathers, who caught the touchdown pass, after they defeated Bay High 6-0, in over- time play Friday evening. The Sharks' defense spar- kled as they shut down two Bay High scoring opportuni- ties and the offense rose to the challenge time after time to push the football into Bay High territory and finally won on a pass play from quarterback Chris' Butts to receiver Greg Gathers, 6-0 in the overtime period. The Tornadoes appeared as if they would handle the Sharks just about any way they wanted, when they took the first possession and mov- ed it to the Shark five yard line before Doug Robinson stopped Bay's Willie Free- man on fourth down. Again the aggressive Shark defense stymied a Bay scoring at- tempt in the second quarter when Tan Smiley got a piece of a Bay field goal attempt, knocking it wide of the mark. The Sharks had a chance to win it during regulation play, when Butts hurled a pass to Demitre Thomas on the right sideline, but Thomas was caught and tackled at the Bay 36 after a 37 yard gain. Port St. Joe's Josh Jenkins and Michael Pittman picked up impressive yardage on the ground, but had each of their sustained drives stopped by a determined Bay defense. . When the end of the half, came, and the score stood at 0-0, Bay High took first possession. After three plays, Smiley partially blocked the field goal attempt. On the Sharks' first play in over- time, Butts hit Gathers for the touchdown and the game was over. Greg Gathers (in white) watches the football on its downward spiral just before catching it for the winning touchdown in the jamboree. -Star photos Turkey Shoots Each Saturday The John C.

Kinard, Social Securi- ty field representative for Gulf County, said recently. SSI is a Federal program that provides a basic cash income to people 65 or older, or disabled, or blind who do not have much income and do not own much in the way of personal property' or real estate. There is no age limit for SSI payments to people who are disabled or blind. Young children can qualify as well as people beyond 65. For a child under 18 to be eligible, he or she must have an impairment that com- pares in severity to one which would prevent an adult from working for a year or more. Blindness is defined as central visual acuity of 20-200 or less in the better eye with use of a corrective lens 'or restriction in the visual field to 20 degrees or less. In addition to meeting the disability requirements, a child must also meet the income and resources tests to get payments. The parents' income and resources count toward the child's eligibility after certain deductions are made. Generally SSI payments cannot be made to a person in a public institution. But people living in a publicly- operated community resi- dence serving no more than 16 people may be eligible. The maximum SSI pay- ment is $314 a month, but this amount is reduced if a person lives with someone else or has income above a certain limit A child cannot get SSI payments and take part in the Aid to Families with Dependent Children pro- gram. The parents of a child eligible for both programs can choose the one that best fits the family needs. For more information about SSI payments, contact the .Panama. .,City...SociaL.- Security office, located at 30 West Government Street. The telephone number is 7694871.

Professional development, continuing throughout each citizen-soldier's military ca- reer, marked another mile- stone recently as an ad- vanced class graduated from the Florida National Guard Military Academy's Non- commissioned Officer School at Camp Blanding. Among the 75 graduates of Advanced Noncommissioned Officer Course No. 21 is Staff Sgt. William R. Deeson of Port St. Joe. This is the first class to attend an advanced course held over eight consecutive days, rather than during several individual weekends. The course is designed exclu- sively for staff sergeants, those noncommissioned offi- cers on the brink of senior NCO rank. During their eight inten- sive days at the academy, the students studied such sub- jects as small-group interac- tion techniques, counseling, duties, responsibilities and authority of the platoon ser- geant, motivating subordi- nates, resolving ethical con- flicts, and supply and main- tenance. They also tackled the his- tory of the reserve com- ponents, personnel manage- ment, and land and night navigation. The course con- cluded with a platoon trainer's workshop, where the students concentrated on developing their skills in training other personnel in their units, which are located MENU Gulf County School Lunch Monday, September 10 Hot dogs, cole slaw, baked beans, cookies, and milk.

DUNCAN Pastor MARK DONNELL Minister of Music & Youth This week I conclude my discussion of the results of my annual questionnaire. I have issued the questionnaire every year for many years now and find the results always impor- tant as I strive to best serve the people of the Second Congres- sional District of Florida. I pay particular attention to. the in- dividual comments people write on the issues of most impor- tance to them. From these com- ments come suggestions that I incorporate into the next ques- tionnaire and much sound ad- vice. I want-to express to all of you who responded, my sincere appreciation. The United States, in recent years, has increased its efforts at.enforcing drug laws. 2.9% believe these efforts have been successful and 35% believe they have been moderately suc- cessful. Fully 43.5% believe the increased efforts have been a . failure.. There has been much discussion lately about the crime rate and I asked if crime has increased significantly over the past year in your communi- ty. 42.9%0/ said yes and 57.5% noted no significant increase in crime. 1 87% favor limitations on im- ports from those countries which impose trade barriers on American-made products. When asked how they felt Amerian products ranked with international competition, 13.2% felt our products Wvere more competitive in price and quality, 67.9% felt we were less competitive in' price and quali- ty, and 18.9% felt we were equal. When asked to rank the problems we have competitive- ly, 23% said poor workman- ship, 6% blamed outdated plants, poor management received 12%, 37% said labor costs. 10% stated low produc- tivity and over 9% said un- fair -trade practices by other nations. And, finally, 53.6% said they felt large corporations lot) can be resolved. No Council action taken on this request. Motion to adjourn made by Councilman Golson; 2nd by Councilwoman Pierce. Mo- tion passed 4-0. Meeting adjourned at 9:08 P.M. M. L. (Bob) Hale Mayor-Councilman Patricia L. Hutchinson Town Clerk ROY SMITH, Agent Drama Club Congressman Don Fuqua Reports -K. 221 Reid Avenue within the same industry should not be allowed to merge. I have already started think- ing of questions to ask next year and invite your suggestions. Of course, it is not possible to ask all of the questions one might wish to but, as I said, I get many valuable suggestions for ques- tions from people in the Second District. Under our Constitution, 34 states may petition Congress to convene a constitutional con- vention. To date, 32 states have passed resolutions calling for a convention-to consider a con- stitutional amendment to re- quire a balanced federal budget. Experts in the field of con- stitutional law believe such a convention would be unwise in that it could re-write our basic document of government and I am not-certain that such an un- precedented event would be welcome. I have introduced a constitu- tional amendment to require a balanced budget and have co- sponsored legislation to require the President, and the House and Senate Budget Committees to send balanced budgets to the floor of the House of Represen- tatives and Senate for con- sideration. We simply cannot continue with $200 billion deficits and I am hopeful that Congress will take action on this legislation before adjournment. The time for action is now.
