Local News Comics amassee Section Two it Wednesday, September 17, 1969 15 Gefs Brown's Backing Quincy Group Seeks SR-268 Interchange QUOTING from Fortune Magazine, Munroe said highway engineers have become the master planners of the future and the roads they build will have as much effect on the economic growth of communities as the canals and railroads had a century ago. Then quoting nationally prominent city planner, John T. Howard, he said "just as war is too important to leave to the generals, so highways are too important to leave to the highway engineers." He said an MO interchange at State Road 268 would help to rejuvenate a sadly neglected and depressed area. Backing up that contention, he said Gadsden County had a per capita income in 1966 of $1,434 per year per household and only 9.7 per cent with a yearly income of $10,000 or more. "This is why we are here today," he said.

"We desperately need a way to enhance our economic growth and improve the dollar income of our citizens. 07 inttaaaat ttmdmmA liiiMMI itatfMNJI I. 3b- m.

Accident Fatal To Quincy Boy QUINCY A 16-year-old Quincy boy died from injuries received in a one-car accident about four miles north of Quincy last night. Henry Columbus Bowman of Box 84, Quincy, died at 9 p.m. in Tallahassee Memorial Hospital, about Vk hours after the accident occurred. Investigating Trooper J. O.

Rudd said Bowman was headed south on State Road 379-A when his car ran off the right shoulder, crossed back off the left shoulder, turned sideways, flipped and came to rest on its left side. Bowman was thrown from the vehicle, which was demolished. Trooper C. W. Moore was the homicide investigator.

By JACK HARPER Democrat Area Editor State Transportation Chairman Jay W. Brown said yesterday he would initiate a justification study for an additional U. S. I -1 0 interchange at State Road 268 in Gadsden County. He also told a delegation of Gadsden County business, civic and political leaders that he would make every effort to sell the U.

S. Bureau of Roads on the interchange. The chairman of the Florida Division of Transportation made the commitment at a hearing held yesterday in Tallahassee attended by a Quincy delegation led by Mayor Pro Tern Lamar Munroe. Also attending the hearing were Rep. Wayne Mixson, D-Marianna, Rep.

R. D. Woodward, D-Quincy, Gadsden Chamber of Commerce Manager Jim Latta, and City Councilmen E. W. Hinson and Albert Kohnke.

Quincy press media represented at the hearing included J. Love Hutchinson, weekly newspaper publisher, and Bill Dodson, of the Quincy radio station. BROWN told the group that if interchange plans at SR 268 did not get into present plans for construction of the highway by Quincy he would make a determined effort to see that it was put in at a later date. This statement fell with a dull thud on the ears of the delegates who felt the interchange should be included in the initial program. Munroe, speaking for the group, said it was not true that economic growth would flow westward from Tallahassee along U.

S. Highway 90 to Quincy because it is impossible to purchase any sizeable acreage of land along that route for commercial use. "We believe that the focal point of growth will be, not as predicted along U. S. 90," he said, "but instead, under the right circumstances, it will branch off at the Midway-Ochlockonee Interstate interchange on US 90 and follow State Road 268 to Quincy.

It would include both the US 90 interchange and the proposed new interchange at State Road 268. Munroe pointed out that the interchange presently scheduled at State Road 267 (Lake Talquin Road) is in a highly developed agricultural area. "It sits smack in some of the very best cigar shade tobacco growing land in Florida," he said. "We know the land owners will resist efforts to convert the tobacco 'lands into commercial uses for we have tried unsuccessfully for three years to acquire a small site on this land for an industrial park." County Backs A Requested Interchange QUINCY Gadsden County commissioners at their regular meeting yesterday voted to assist the City of Quincy in requesting the State Department of Transportation (DOT) to build an interchange at the High Bridge Road and the proposed Interstate 10. Quincy Mayor Leon Weaver had previously submitted a resolution passed by the City Commission to build the interchange at High Bridge Road.

Present plans for MO by the Department of Transportation calls for an interchange at the Lake Talquin Road approximately three miles south of Quincy. Mayor Weaver in submitting his request to the DOT at a public meeting held in August stated that interchanges were good for business and the additional interchange requested would be helpful in inducing still more business. Gunshot Wound A 58-year-old Round Lake woman was listed in critical condition today at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital from gunshot wounds in the head. She was transferred here from the Jackson County Hospital last night. According to information received by the Loon County Sheriff's Office, the wounds were self inflicted.

the amount of money each County receives is based on the number of acres of National Forest land within its boundaries. The total amount available to these counties this year is $21,531.95 over last year, he said. Entzminger said that the Forest Services system ot land management makes certain that there will always be a supply of timber to be used by private operators. It also provides for continued protection of the wildlife, recreation, watershed and aesthetic values of the Forest.

Harry K. Weaver, Boys Ranch administrator, said that about 100 boys and 15 staff members would be in the group coming to the Memorial after church services Sunday. Forest Supervisor Robert A. Entzminger said today that nine counties in Florida will receive a total of $367,437.15 as their share of receipts from National Forest operations last year.

Federal law provides that Counties with National Forest land shall receive 25 per cent of the Forest income. These funds are to be used on schools and roads. Timber operations by private operators provide the biggest part of the receipts. This year timber activities on the Florida National Forests brought a total of $1,469,796.05. Other resources of the Forests include recreation, water, forage and wildlife.

Vincent National Wildlife Refuge, P. O. Box 447, Apalachicola, Florida 33320. Unsung Men At Chipola MARIANNA Some men move about the campus unnoticed, and unsung, working to keep things going. They are members of the physical plant staff at Chipola Junior College.

There's always things to fix, to turn on or off, to paint, to move, or to deliver. And that's in addition to the daily unkeep chores. James H. McGill, Director of Physical Plant and Campus Development, keeps his men on the move and this past summer is no exception. Over 800 feet of new sidewalk were poured the last few months.

Other projects included reworking and irrigating the college baseball field, rebuilding the field house heating system, beginning air-conditioning in the girls' dorm and painting all around the campus. McGill has been at Chipola since 1952. His wife has served as secretary for three different Chipola Presidents. He served as Director of Campus Services until he assumed his present post in 1967. In addition to the regular crew of 18, the physical plant department during the summer employed 14 students on a part-time basis.

Combined part-time and additional regular help during the year number about 15. A major project in the near future is the extension of the sidewalk from behind the college's new vocational building to the shower and locker facilities north of the campus. In a recent assembly McGill told students that many of his men were on campus before some students got up and that others were on campus after some went to bed. And how true it is. McGill's men are on campus at all hours to keep Chipola warm, cool, and clean, In National Forest Bear Hunting Parties Bigger DAYTONA BEACH The Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission in a meeting here increased from 17 to 30 the number of hunters Kermitted in a managed bear unt party in the Apalachicola National Forest.
