Claus To Make Pre- 'Christmas Call In Person As Guest of Jaycees NORTH POLE. Dec. 18-(Exclu- sive to The Star)-Squelching ru- mors spread by gloom-faced de- presisionists that there. would be no Christmas in Port St. Joe this year, Santa W. Claus, local toy factory proprietor and purveyor of Yuletide cheer, started that he would find time to stop off in Port St. Joe at 3:00 p. m. Christmas Eve on a pre- Chlristmas world' tour and at that time would, be the guest .of the Junior Chamlbe.r of Commerce. The colorful patron, saint of the Yuletide, who has been an annual visitor in this district for more than a hundred years, has been exercis- ing his six teams of reindeer just in case his huge plane refuses to function, due to the cold weather. "We've spent the better part of eleven months getting ready for this trip to Port St. Joe," Santa (as' he is affectionately called by mil- lions of friends) said in his state- ment, "and we're going to see to it that no kiddies are overlooked." Claus stated he looks forward to his 'almFiu-t-thip ,icn.1 will bea anxious to see how all -ii.- old chimnies are. He warn's that any presents that may have arrived before Christ- mas should, not be opened until the proper time.

The- millage will 'be levied on an as- sessed valuation of $1,735,349 and will raise, approximately $39,170 to carry on operation of the- city for the. ensuing year and care for debt service. The balance of the esti- -mated budget of $80,10.0 set last year will be derived- from licenses, fines, and forfeitures and the taxes on cigarets, amusements :and utili- ties. In addition to fixing the tax rate, the commission agreed to. purchase from the duPont interests all of block 34, consisting of 18 lots, and which is 'bounded on the north and south .by Fifth and Sixth Street and on the, east and west by Garrison and Park Avenues, as the location of the proposed new city hall, fire i station and jail, provided! building restrictions imposed some time back at the request of the Federal Housing Ad'minij'trat;ii' can be re- imoved ',, Officials of the St. Joe Paper Company stated yesterday that they , believed the restrictions can IIs waived without difficulty and are Snow awaiting word from Jackson- ville in regard to the matter.

(And that really should ibe good news to Jimmy Greer and Aubrey Tomlinson, who deliver kerosene by truck). Rich pointed out that the extensive use 02, electric heat- ere during cold anaps was playing heck with his local power setup and it may result in the overloading of transformers in various parts of the city,' causing them to burn up and - interrupt service to homes in that area. (Yeah, Alex Young, wnen 'he opened up his grocery store, threw The Star's transformer all out of kilter and caused us to lose a day's time.) Florida Power is in the middle of a huge expansion program which has been delayed due to continued shortage, of generating equipment and' other electrical apparatus. "The co-operation of every cus- i tomer in the conservation of elec- tricity, especially during the eve-! ning hours, will help prevent ai breakdown in the service to Port St. Joe which would be a serious inconvenience to them and their neighbors," Porter emphasized. . (IL Rich doesn-'t bring us around a duck pretty soon, we're going to quit giving him these free write- "ups that are put in his mouth by. the St. Petersburg office.) Remember Every Child (Continued from page 1) a little would help so much. We read in the newspapers of the larger cities where the. welfare associations have prepared a list of the neediest cases that have come to their attention, and help is solicited for these. Money and as- sistance is given, by rich and poor alike to help these unfortunates. WVhile we have no established welfare association in Port St. Joe, the Junior Chamber of Commerce will endeavor to give each kiddie a. stocking this Christmas, the Loyal Order of Moose is preparing baskets of food and toys and the various church societies will make up baskets. But with all of this, there will still be some one we know-*some child, -some man or woman--who may be overlooked and who, unless so-me outstle ame is received, will have a rather 'bar- ren, cheerless Christmas. Surely, we couldn't enjoy our Christmas as much if we failed: to share our much or little with others. Let's' make this an unselfish Christmas,. remembering the words of Him whose birthday we are. ob- serving when he said: "It is more 'blessed to give than to receive."

Not an Aristocrat Broccoli is no longer the aristo- cratic, high-priced luxury food of a few years ago. It is rich in vitamin A, calcium and iron, these food val- ues being found especially in the leaves but also present in the buds and stems. Cooked in an open pan long enough to get the stems ten- der, broccoli is an appetizing dish. Electricity for Indians The Yavapai Indians, who live on a 71-acre reservation just north of Prescott, Ariz., soon will have elec- tricity on their reservation. The Redmen, sitting in tribal council, voted to waive any damage to their lands resulting from the stringing of power lines to their homes.

For instance, since 1939 the price of fuel oil has increased 167% poles are UP 111%, copper wire UP 110% and the price of other necessary materials and wages of our 1,100 employees have gone UP, too. Some way must be found to cover a por-. tion, at least, of today's inflated cost of serv- ing you and we promise that we shall al- ways keep electric rates as low as possible, consistent with good business judgment. R ; member the "good old days" before Hit- lcr overran Europe and the Japs made their fatal mistake at Pearl Harbor? Then a dollar was really important money "grocery-wise" . but not so today. In 1939 the average revenue from our residential customers was 4.67 cents per kilowatt hour .. today that price has been REDUCED 31% and we receive only 3.20 cents per kilowatt hour. Yes, electricity is about the ONLY item in the family budget that hasn't gone up in price . for this company has a long-time record of VOLUNTARILY reducing the cost of electri- city whenever business conditions permitted it.

Right or Wrong FORCE OF UMT LOGIC Universal Military Training, although not yet the law of the land, already is piling up one championship record. That is its record of the conversion of open minds. Its almost 100 per cent. The editor of The Star has long been an ad- vocate of universal military training, and in- dividuals and groups alike who take thle time and trouble to make a fair study of UMT end up by accepting its logic. That doesn't mean they come up infatuated with it. They may not like it. Nobody loves UMT, not even its fore- most advocate, the Amnerican Legion. But everybody is sold on UMT who gives it an hon- est hearing. The selling is on its necessity and advisability as a national protection mea- sure in an age of scientific warfare. Honest scrutiny of UMT brings conviction. that this is the most practical, least expensive and most democratic preparedness plan for future national security that has yet been pro- posed. The postwar military planning committee of the house went into its study of UMT cold, come up after a three-year research with a unanimous recommendation to congress for the adoption of this training program. The president's advisory commission on universal training was divided on UMT when it began ' its study. It reported unanimously in favor of UMT.

Ben sez that .because both doves and ducks are migratory birds and under federal juristdictioni. many dove hunters be-lieve it is necessary to have a federal duck stamp. "That is incorrect," quoth Ben to The Star via mimeograph out of Tallahassee, "duck stamps are necessary for hunting waterfowl only-naturally, this does not in- cide game wardens. Although dove are- migratory birds, a state 0or county hunting license is the. only elrmit necessary." abilityy in regard to UMT. They should indi- vitdually take time out to. study the measure. If every senator and every congressman ex- po.nse himself to the logic of UMNT between now and the time it comes up for action, there will be few votes cast against this vital se- curity program.

Making Steel Rails The original process of making steel rails was invented by Sir ,Hen- ry Bessemer, England, and perfect- ed by A. L. Holley, an American. Sir Henry was a gunsmith before making steel rails. He obtained his original patents in 1855. Holley bought the Bessemer patents in 1863 and had his improved process pat- ented in 1865. Their inventions pro- duced a steel rail with a life several times greater than that of iron rail. The open-hearth process, developed by William and Frederick Siemens of Germany and improved by Sam- uel T. Wellman, an American, has largely replaced the Bessemer and Holley processes.
