Tom Byrne Tells of March of Dimes the Freedom Train Views Many Historical Documents Connected With Growth of Our Nation Among a considerable number of Port St. Joe people visiting the F'reed'onm. Train on its stop at Tal- lahassee last week was Tom Byrne and he. gives us his impressions: It took an hour aned a half to get fror the end af the line to the train, and about 40 minutes to go through the three cars containing the historic documents of freedom. But it was well worth the time and effort, and if you cared to. you were free to spend more time in the cars reading the actual texts, many in the original handwriting. A Unitea States Marine standing at the en- trance to the first car courteously announ-ced as you went in that it n as inot necessary to stay in line hitter entering ithe cars. Documents of freedom were 'ljere., .from a letter by Christopher Columibus written 4,50-odd years ago to the .Tap surrender document with the original signatures, just as it was signed aboard the Big Mo (the USiS Missouri). Sailors would be interested in the log .of the. ship, which told: in -the. matter of fact language of navy log books the historic events of the day. The scrappiest serap of paper in the 'whole lot was a scribbled note !')y President Franklin D. Roose- velt written at the Cairo confmr- cihd'e telling o*-lthe .agreement upon Geneieal Eisenhower as supreme commander of the Allied Expedi- tionary Forces in Europe. But those -greater documents were there, too; a rough draft by Thomas Jtiffe.rson of tlhe Declaration of In- dependence and a finished', copy, copies of the Bill of Rights. now contained in the first 10 amend- ments to the Constitution, Lincoln's addresses and the Emancipation Proclamation, bonds 'by which the government raised money for the Louisiana Purchase and for the purchase from Russia of the vast and rich territory of Alaska.

D. Roosevelt. Mira has the machinery set up which he hope-s will make the 1948 appeal a record, demonstration of :Galif county's active interest in ,helping the. stricken children of the nation along the road to health. Chairman Mira, in revealing that * very community in America was being geared to make this the greatest March of Dimes drive in history, said: "When the March ofr Dimnes 'goes into action on January 15, more than 500,000 volunteers from every walk of life will be translating American ideals into terms of active assistance and send- ing a ringing message of hope to the unfortumte v-it'iel's 'of -hs crippling di--j' which nas struck down 80,000 Americans in the past five years. , "This is the democratic way of fighting a humanitarian 'war against disease.

Are Made Happy By Jaycee Sonta Claus Old Man With Whiskers is Almost Mobbed By Children Gath- ered Around Tree By JAKE BELIN What Santa presented to the better than a thousand joy-ridden kids at the Junior Chainmber of Com- merce's Christmas Eve festival would make the "Mrs. Hush" win- ner shy away from sheer want. Two, trucks, filled with the overflow from S.anta's gift 'bag, had, to as- sist the Oldi Man with the Whis- kers provide for the. receptive on- ru'_hers. Arriving straight from the North Pole astride Walido Davis' air sled, the Whiskered One circled tihe Chrisitmas throng gathered around a well-lit tree in a downtown vacant let to warn well wishers that their gifts had arrived. He was escorted from the ainport by Highway Pa- trolman Olin Davis. At the, first slight of Santa, pan- demonium broke out amongst the youngsters, who had waited the better pait of an hour for his ar- rival. Active Jaycees had' to help him through the ,milling crowd of greeters to loaded trucks that had pulled alongside- the tree unnoticed. The spirit of giving ran high, for in an hour's time San'ta had filled two thousar.-i ., -1 i t' lie,. arms with b:,I:-. oti .ir.l- ti'. ts, nuts and Band Director Charles; Harrison led the high school musicians in Christmas carols, while the multi- tude waited in anticipation of the Olificial Visiitor's arrival.

No casualties were re- pcnted, although Santa was almost forced into a docking in the storm ditch by overjoyed greeters. The community Christmas festi- val is sponsored each year by the Junior Chamnber of Commerce.

Our Country i Right or Wrong THE NEW YEAR ENTERS Men have never known toward what the world was moving, despite their statements that it was going in this, that or the other di- rection. No one can foresee what will occur in the future. The past stands in the path of the present, holding us back in our eager desire to reach ahead into new experiences and new developments. Civilization has not changed so greatly as we may imagine. The refinements of luxury do not belong alone to our modern times. There is hardly any stage in world his- tory when the same state of things was not- flourishing in -the same degree, and even in approximately the same forms. Human nature does not change, and in the same degree the manifestations of the human mind follow pri- , marily the same channels, though their out- ward habiliments appear to be new. The past, present and future are irrevocably linked together, and this fact is never more emphasized than on New Year's Day, as one calendar year becomes history and a new span of twelve ,months spreads vistas of expecta- tion ahead. We speak of growth, of changes for the better-yet with the same breath we deplcre the deterioration which we profess to see around us. We contradict ourselves in the ut- most absurdity and then blandly reTuse to recognize that we have been slightly ridicu- Spend Holidays In Georgia Mr. and Mrs. S. B.

We talk about the "great new industrial age when machines will do all the work" and simultaneously complain of the tragedies and dangers of unemployment and a pattern society. W e do all these things-and yet, perhaps we are not so foolish as we may seem. The world goes its way in spite of us. Year in and year out the earth turns in the heavens and the sun's rays shine down to give us light and warmth. Nature pays no heed to our futile protestations at the injustices of humanity. The grass continues to grow, the seasons fol- low one upon the other and animal and man reproduce their kind to take the places of those who had completed their part in the great cycle of life and death. If we did not protest a little because things are not just as we want them we would not be human. Only when we cease the rebellion that leads to new knowl- edge and new understanding will civilization dlie. We make resoltuions on New Year's' Day,= most of which we fail to keep. But it is not that we fail to keep them that is important, so -much as that we felt the urge to make them. In those resolutions, from the most trivial to the deeply serious, is exemplified the spiritual craving inherent in man which etern- ally reaches out toward an ideal-nebulous it is true, but none the less powerful. New Year's Day is not necessarily a time for merely "washing the slate clean" and starting anew. It is a time for making adjust- ments to life as it exists and must be lived. Rather than the dismissing of the past, it calls for an intelligent review of events and thoughts, with a sane and clear-eyed summing up of those past influences, their relationship to the present and a hypothetical promulgation for the future. Whether anything works out as expected or not is of lesser import. In de- termining the possibilities, in allocating things in their proper positions a calmer,.more intelli- gent, more honest and more sincere attitude cannot fail to appear.

Divorced Women Are Not Widows In Eyes of the Law Divorced women are not widows in the eyes of the Florida constitu- tion and; are not, therefore, en- titled to a 'widow's exemption, ac- cording to the .state attorney ge-n- eral. The constitution of Florida al- lows $500 worth of property owned by a widow to be exempt from tax- ation.
