Rish of Wewahitchka, died at 8 o'clock yesterday morning at the Port St. Joe Municipal hospital where he had been undergoing treatment since December 2. His wile, Mrs. Edna Rish, was at tVhe bedside at the time of his passing. The body was taken to the Wil- son funeral home in Panama City. Funeral arrangements had not yet been completed as The Star went to press yesterday. Mr. Rish, well and, favorably known throughout Gulf county, had been county supervisor of registra- tion for a number of years past. Death Takes Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John L. Ford Ramona S. Ford, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John L. Ford, Jr., passed away at the municipal hos- pital Wednesday morning. Besides her parents she is survived by one isiter, Martha Virginia. Graveside services were held yesterday afternoon at Mt. Pleas- ant cemetery, near River Junction. The Comforter Funeral Home was in charge of local arrangements.

I' Xmas Buying Merchants Generally Are Holding Prices As Low As Possible In Spite of Wholesale Boosts With more merchandise available than at any time in the past five years, Port St. Joe stores are ex- periencing a rush of Christmas buy- ing which is far ahead of last year, a sui vey by The Star shows, and avery indication points to the big- gest Christmas since before the war from the standpoint of sales volume. Included in the wider range or merchandise available to stores this Christmas are such household appliances as aluminum pans, pres- sure cookers, radios, refrigerators and a few washing machines-all of which :have been scarce for so long that they are being bought as gifts. The larger volume of' goods in stock is one reason Yuletide sales will be ahead of last year, but an- other is the fact that prices of many items are up over those of a year ago. During the last year and a half before it went out of existence, the OPA granted approximately 150 price increases, but only to pro- ducers and wholesalers. Retailers were not allowed any markups, de- pite the fact that their costs had gone up too. The Star's survey shows that VOLUME X NUMBER 11 Rev. Tubb Uses As Subject Human Relationships and the Golden Rule Rev. Lloyd Tubb, pastor of the Port St. Joe Methodist Church, brought an inspiring message, to tie Kiwanis Club at its Wednesday luncheon. The theme of his ad. dress concerned human relations and the. golden rule. "This world of ours is today a closely knitted group of nations that no longer can isolate them- selves from each other," he stated, and. with- a note of caution, added, "ao.'l peoples of our communities ire in closer touch with each other and those of other communities and nations as well, and are often guided by selfish interests. Just as the referee in a football game bases his decision upon a hook of .'ixed rules, we must learn to abide by fixed rules if our world is to obtain peace and security. Those age-old rules are presented in the Bible. Jesus, Himself, gave us the golden rule by which people have been guided d.o w n through the ages, and it is still applied. suc- cessfully." Mr. Tubb was, presented by Past- President R. Glenn Boyles. Other guests were Key Clubbers Bernard Pridgeon and Randall Brady. APPALACHICOLA MINtSTER TO PREACH HERF SUNDAY The Rev.

FTWffNM W Santa Claus To Visit Port St. Joe December 21st In Spite of Heavy Schedule, Salnt Nick Persuaded By Jaycees To Call Here Hey, kids! Santa Claus is colm- ing to Port St. Joe on Saturday af- ternoon, December 21. Negotiations had been underway for some time by the Junior Cham- .ber of Commerce to have Saint Nicholas include this city in his itinerary, and for a time it was a bit doubtful whether or not he could make it, but a radiogram was received yesterday afternoon by George Tapper, Jaycee president, stating that the jolly old saint had managed, to find time for a brief stop here. ,Santa will arrive by plane about 3 o'clock and will be transported to town from the airport by the city fire truck to preside at a Christ- mas tree to be erected on the Va- cant lot adjacent to the police station. Previous to Santa's arrival there will be a program of songs and mu- sic at the scene of the tree. The Jaycee committee In charge of ar- rangements has invited Miss Er- line McClellan and the high school glee club to sing carols and an- thems, some of which the audiences will be invited to join in singing, and Stanford Beckham and the high school band have been asked to appear. A committee member at.-ied he hoped the members t*, these two organizations would see fit to give their time to help make this a great community occasion. The committee chairman empha- sized that this Christmas tree is for all the children, of Port St. Joe and nearby areas, both white and colored. He also said that there is no objection to the grownup chil- dren coming to see Santa, but he requetsed them not to line up with (Continued on Page 2) First Tilt of Basketball Season Here Tonight The basketball season for the' Port St. Joe high school opens to- night with both the girls' and boys' teams meeting teams from Kinard at the Centennial Auditorium. The girls' game is called' for 7 o'clock. We have been informed that the Kinard lassies anticipate an easy victory over the local girls, but the Saints state they will only over their dead bodies (we understand hair-pulling is taboo). The boys have been practicing .hard, and while they are confident of winning, they know from past experience that Kinard is a tough nut to crack. Bleachers have been erected in the auditorium and hose who come early are assured of seats. rCAG Now Located at Highland View, Near Chestnut Grocery Your Old Tires Are Valuable!

The first chapter of the gos. ,pel according to St. Matthew be- gins: "The book of the generation 01 Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham ." And conIrming Bethlehem as the city of David, the angel of the Lord declared: "For unto you is born this day, In the city of David, a SAVIOUR which is CHRIST the Lord." St. Luke 2:11. Considering tradition, which ac- cepts that King David's shield formed a six-pointed star, the Star of Bethlehem appropriately stood over where the young Child was," St. Matthew 2:9.

History not worth recording has been made On a plat- form neither original nor creative, Florida" cities have as much hope as an unfortunate who fell from the dock, is going down for the third tnme, and has both ends of the rope thrown to him. The league deserves a better break than bland statements of negative reactions, which has been the unanimous outburst from all. But an uncritical analysis indicates the situation is even worse than first supposed. Perhaps the league, and the lights behind it, asked for it. If they asked for it, they certainly got it. If they did not ask for it, then discredit falls to the shoulders of top general E. P. Owen Jr., who certainly has been exposed to politics suf- ficiently long to be out of the ranks of ama- teurs. What did they get? City finances, nationwide, are under shadow. Centralized government is on the march, the property tax base evaporates- progressively, and the demands at the city levels become more complicated, more numerous and expen- sive. Being dependent on disappearing sources the cities have stood by and seen the tax base pre-empted by both state and federal machin- ery. This is a nationwide spectacle In Florida the spectacle is written in even darker hues. Why? Because Florida cities have been down and out since the 1925 land boom. Coupled to this destructive erosion is another erosion-the homestead ex- emption. Repeal of this statute is out of the questio!i. but rx\ision i)f revenue system is not impossible. Some cities have utilized util- ity levies as stopgaps, and other patches. This staves off the problem temporarily. The basic problem lives and grows and makes its assault against the whole area the more dangerous. The Leaov.- of Municipalities has listened to speeches that skirted this problem for ten years, and for ten years have done precisely nothing about it. Perhaps the greatest disser- vice of the league to both the cities, who they falsely set themselves up to serve, and to the state as an economic unit, is that the Florida Fake Herman Goering Will A fake Herman Goering last will and testament being circulated In,' Washington is causing serious ' consideration to be given releasing his last written words.

Port St. Joe, Florida League of Municipalities stands in the way of anyone doing anything. At the 1946 Miami League of Mu- nicipalities meet, the agenda was unusually bare. Speakers were about the same as always but with notable faces absent because the po- litical steam under the boiler is about gone, or fading. For those with Florida's future at heart, the observer looked in vain. There was nothing. Basic economic questions were by- passed, ignored and embalmed. Since the gov- ernor's tax committee considers all taxes but property taxes, and since the facts on Florida cities is nowhere to be found in proper form, the disinal picture is depressing. Proptrty taxes are the root trouble of the cities, and revenues to replace this displacement is the top job to be done. Perhaps the Association of 'City Managers, announced some time ago from Miami, could do something practical. It is now certain the League of iM]unicipalities will not. And the governor has told them there is a fight to get any of the state money. Unless the case is handled intelligently, argued from basic eco- nomic facts, who can blame him for his posi- tion ? The League of Municipalities has answered many curtain calls. But the house has tired of the performance long since. The curtain is down, lights out, cobwebs over the joint. Florida cities desperately need new leader- ship. -Jacksonville Chronicle. A CONSPICUOUS OMISSION Senator Pepper, in his speech at New Or- leans, covered practically every issue of the day, national and international-except one. So far as he is reported in the press reports, the senator said not one word about-the most pressing and important question of the day: Is John L. Lewis to be permitted to tie up the entire country by keeping his miners out of the mines? Senator Pepper didn't touch on that grave situation. His record on union labor matters makes the reason for his omission obvious. He dared not say a word against a union boss, and, at the same time, he dared not openly antago- nize the overwhelming force of public opinion,- which condemns Lewis and his dictatorial as- sumption of power, regardless of law and pub- lic safety. Pepper has to be careful that he does not offend either the labor bosses or the people who vote. It is a difficult role, and it takes a super-smart politician to play it. -Tampa Tribune.

I read a lot of minds, too, during the depression when people plodded past my cardboard chim- ney; folks are happy now and the carols, that gave them a far-away look while war almost blacked oul the Christmas Spirit, make them smile and drop coins in the chim- ney. "It's fun to have a part in the happy Christmases of so many youngsters. Most of those that I see come downtown with their mothers, ,and I try to get a nod of approval before I make any definite prom. Ises-kinda make sure the kids won't be disappointed. "Just the same, I can't help thinking about the kids I never see who want dolls 'nd dishes, drums and sleds, picture books, skates, trains and boats; what a lot of helpers Santa needs to see that all these things get to the right places at the right time!

Every year we buy rour or five dollars worth of fancy paper, beautiful seals and yards and, yards of ribbon, increasing the amount from year to year in hopes that maybe some Christmas we would have some to wrap our pres- ents. Heretofore our wife has al- ways beat us to it, leaving short remnants of ribbon, a few crumpled piecess of paper large enough to wrap a two-fer cigar, half a dozen seals that have had the gum licked off 'em, and nary a tag. Conse- quently we were forced to wrap our gifts in old newspapers, tie them with strips cut from the pre- vious year's gift neckties and us'e gummed kraft tape for labels. Yep,, we played smart this year, done our shopping early and used up all the paper, ribbon, seals and tags.
