S. W. 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.
Confirmation was received here
yesterday by telegram by Jake Be-
lin, Jaycee secretary, the telegram
reading: "Arrive by plane. local air-
port. Have speedy conveyance on

We Hate To Turn 'Em
Down, But We Have To

We've, been turning down adver-
tising-the lifeblood of any paper-
for several months past due to the
fact that we don't know when we'
will get another shipment of news-
print. It hurts, because ad-
verti'sing is what makes the wheels
go 'round. The. past few weeks we
could' have issued 12 and 16-page
papers had we been assured. of a
newsprint supply, but right now we
have six weeks' supply on hand and
when that is gone, unless 'we pick
up some, you may miss an issue or
two of The Star.
We apologize to those concerns
we've had to-turn down on adver-
tising, 'but for weeks past our ad-
vertising space has been sold out
as far as two weeks in advance-
it's, first come, first served.

At the regular meeting of the city
commission Tuesday night the. city
dads fixed the 1947 tax rate'at 23
mills, a boost of 3.3 mills over the
1946 assessment of 19.7 mills. 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

-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

Don't Use Electricity To
Heat Home, Pleads Porter

"Heat your home with oil or
some other .fuel," sez Rich Porter
of the Florida Power Corporation.
(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

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."

Pensacola as the site for the 1948
convention.
At a banquet Tuesday evening,
Judge C. I. Carey of St. Petersburg

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.


Prunes or Plums
There are at least 2,000 varieties
of plums, native to places as widely
separated as Japan, Europe and the
United States. Only a relatively
small number of the known vari-
eties find their way on the market.

Unhappily, however, the price of everything
we buy has increased beyond what might be
called "inflationary trends." 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.

Watson States Sales
Tax Unconstitutional

Speaking before the Clearwater
Merchants Association last week,
It.orney General Tom Watson told
members o' the. organization' that
the cost of. state government can
be cut 25 per cent and that a sale's
tax. "is unnecessary and unconsti-
tutional."
"The men in our legislative
branch of government whio think
in terms of tax reduction are
as scarce as hens's teeth," said
Watson (pouring it on thick, since
Ire's a candidate for governor),
"The cost of our 'state govern-
Sment has climbed from $50,000,000
in 1926 to $126,000,000 in 1946. In-
istead of trying to find things to
i tax, our government leaders should
I try to relieve the tax burden. Taxes
can be cut now. The war is over,
i asd the war emergency has done
passed."

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. The same was true of the house com-
mittee on the armed services, which reported
favorably, without a dissenting vote. on the
Tow, bill, the only UMT legislation now be-
lore the 80th congress.
Members of congress face a solemn respon-


No Duck Stamp Needed
To Hunt Doves In State

A 'state hunting license is the
only permit needed to hunt doves
in Florida, says Ben Morgan of the
state game and fresh water J'isl
ccmnmissdion.
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.

,Ve've got a bone to pick with somebody;
we haven't the faintest idea who it could be.
Once or twice a week The Star phone rings,
and by the time we've stopped the press or
put down the handful of type we had been dis-
tributing and get up to the desk. the operator
tells us "the party has hung up." Please re-
member, folks, we're a one-mall shop here, andl
unlike a lot of.business men we know here in
town, we don't sit by the phone with our foot
cocked up Oni the desk. So, if you're rino-in -
us, give us 'time to stop what we're doing and
get to the phone-otherwise you waste a few
precious minutes of our time (and if you could
hear what we,say, you're ears probably would
burn for a week).

it's too late now to tell you folks to "shop
early." but at least we can suggest that you
don't wait until Christmas Eve to do it.


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.

-Use materials marked flame-
proof for tree trimmings and home
decorations if they are obtainable.
-Inspect Christmas tree lights,

-Never leave Christmas lights
burning unless someone is around.
-Never unwrap gifts near an
