Record Sales for

Yule Season

Gift Distribution and Plenty of
Goods Will Be Real
Stimulus

Storekeepers of Port St. Joe ex-
pect this Christmas season to be
the biggest ever, what with plenty
of goods on hand and the $1000 gift
distribution they are staging' on
Christmas Eve.
For the first time since the war
they'll be making a real bid for
business, since supplies of goods
are better and more varied than
they have been in years, there are
more eye-catching special gift
items, and there is a greater range
of moderate-priced gifts.
Local merchants are stressing
the moderate price levels-since
for several months past the trend
has been for consumers to turn
aside from high priced luxury
items. They realize that the day
has gone when the consumer would
buy a gift no matter what its price.
Competition is back in full force,
and apparently our merchants have
recognized that fact in their selec-
tion of goods. '
A quick trip through a number of
stores shows a wide variety of mod-
erate priced cosmetic kits, toilet
sets and novelties, not to mention
gift packages of cutlery for the kit-
chen. We also noted that the
Christmast-packaged gift sets of
towels, which disappeared during
the war, are again back on the mar-
ket-and notion departments have
everything from casual slippers to
kitchen bowl covers in gift garb.
We saw one item that really
should make a hit with the ladies
(personally, we don't wear 'em). It
was a washable nylon velvet blouse-
brassiere which can be worn as a
blouse for daytime or evening.
We found that generally women
are asking for household goods and
clothing as Christmas gifts, while
men list wearing apparel as their
first choice. Beyond that, women
list jewelry as their third choice,
and automobiles are second in line

Bikes Without Lights
Menace, Says Chief

No motorist wants to run over
a child riding a bicycle, but that's
going to happen eventually, says
Chief of Police Buck Griffin, since
numerous small fry are making a
habit of riding their bikes at night
without proper lights.
"I'm asking parents to see that
their children's bicycles carry some
sort of light," said Griffin. "No one
wants to see their child crippled
for life or killed just for the lack
of one small light. There is no way
to hold the kids responsible, for
they don't think of what might
happen, but I do feel that it is the
responsibility of the parents."

Guests From Tennessee
Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Nance have
as their guests this month the for-

Nance of Bell Buckle, Tenn.. Mr.

St. Joe Sharks Take

Walton High 33 To 7

Defeat DeFuniakers On Home Field
In Armistice Day Tilt

By .GRAHAM HARVEY
The St. Joe Sharks racked up an-
other grid victory of 33 to 7 over
the mighty and powerful Walton
Braves in a game played in De-
Funiak Springs Thursday night of
last week as part of the Armstice
Day celebration in that city.
The Shaks shoved over the first
counter in the first quarter when
Raymond Lawrence scored and the
zta'ra. point waa f-k-d. by' Buster
Owens. In the second quarter the
Sharks doubled their dose with
Owens and Charles Whitehead
scoring. Try for extra point was
completed on but one.
Coming back in the third round,
Owens scored again with a 70-yard
run and also contributed the extra
point. DeFuniak, fighting back with
immense determination, received
their chance when Hattaway scored
on a kickoff with a 60-yard dash to
pay dirt, plus the extra point.
The Sharks again took the lime-
light in the last quarter, scoring
the final touchdown, with Bill
Fleming as the scoring agent. Try
for extra point was unsuccessful.
The Walton Braves, brave as,
they were, soon realized their lack
of ability to cope with a team com-
posed of Whitehead and Owens,
planning the strategy and seeing
to its fulfillment, and Bull O'Brian
and his capable companions devas-
tating the Walton line. Tommy
Simpson, substituting in numerous
places, and Luther Parrot did ex-
cellent jobs of relief.
The Sharks proved their capabil-
ity by covering 421 yards on the
ground and another 80 by air. The
Braves struggled to cover 151 yards
on the ground and 37 via air.
The Sharks meet the Bonifay
Blue Devils at Centennial Field to-
- night and next Wednesday night
will tangle with the Blountstown
Tigers here.

of his son Al into the Blue Key

Christmas Seal

Sale To Open In

County Monday


Everyone Urged To Buy In
Order That Association
May Continue Work

Harry H. Saunders, Gulf county
chairman for the annual Christmas
Seal sale, states that the seals will
be distributed Monday by the Gulf
County Tuberculosis Association,
and urges all
!Y1 to be gener-
ous with their
donations.
The seals
this year show
a young boy
FIGHT TB e x p e ct antly
Buy Christmas Seals awaiting t h e
arrival of Santa Claus before a
fireplace from which three emptly
stockings hang. It is a typical
nightbefore-Christmas scene in Am-
erica. The boy knows that Santa
Claus will come. He always has.
There is no reason to doubt this
year.
Yes, on Christmas morning the
stockings will be full. The boy's
faith will be rewarded.
Will the faith of the tuberculosis
association in the people of Gulf
county likewise be rewarded when
Christmas comes?
Working in co-operation with the
health department, the medical pro-
fession and other groups, the as-
sociation has for the past several
years sponsored a well planned pro-
gvam for the control .of tubec' cuL:-'
sis here. This program has helped
bring down the tuberculosis death
rate considerably since the associ,
ation was organized, yet tuberculo-
sis is still a grave health problem,
taking the lives of more young
adults than any other disease.
The association depends entirely
upon proceeds from the annual
sale of Christmas Seals to support
its work-its educational, case-
finding and other projects.
When the Christmas Seal sale
closes December 25, the association
will know whether it will have the
finances to continue 'its activities
for the coming year, to expand its

St. Joe Motor Company
Gives Out Safety Book

Working in the interest of a
safer community, the St. Joe Mo-
tor Company this week distributed
1500 comic booklets, "It's Fun To
Stay Alive," to the children of this
city and Wewahitchka. Eight hun-
dred of the books went to the Port
St. Joe schools, 100 to the St. Joe
colored, school, 400 to the Wewa-
hitc'hka schools and the remainder
ta the kindergartens operated by
Mrs. Tom McPhaul and Mrs. Joe
LeHardy.
Vic Anderson says there are a
few of the books still available for
those kids who failed to get a copy
of the comic book, and if they will
call at the St. Joe Motor Company
they may have one.
The booklet stresses, through its
comic strips, safety while driving,
safety on the streets, in the home
and in the school.

DEAR SHOPPERS Someone wanted to know why "The

told in this space already. We believe that you're more interested
in an honest, down-to-earth Merchandise Value Message than" a
lot of hastily printed words. We would like very much to write a
weekly column (if we could) but we had rather get paid for it
than have to pay. Every time we open our mouth here it's cost
money. Maybe it's better we keep it shut and pass the savings orr
to you that's what we've done, but we are not doing it now!'
We've heard that "Speech is Silver but Silence isGolden"' .
right now words are costly and silence is costless. Watch out,'
though, for one of these days we might bore you apain how-
ever, during the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons we'll try
to be as silently thankful with you as possible. We shall direct
our thoughts, words and actions towards making this the best
Holiday Season you've ever known.

Our Country Right or Wrong


OUR CITIZENS ARE FORWARD-LOOKING
The people of Gulf county are to be congratu-
lated on their forward-looking attitude when
they voted overwhelmingly to join with the na-
tional and state forest services to provide fire
protection for the timberlands of our county.
The forests of Florida support the state's ma-
jor industries. Careful protection of what was
left after the first cut by the early timbermen
and reforestation of the pine lands are funda-
mental necessities to supply raw materials for
these industries.
Here in Port St. Joe, moreso than in the north
part of the county, our main industries are based
on wood products. The St. Joe Paper Company
mill and the St. Joe Lumber & Export Company
are both dependent upon a balanced forest pro-
gram so that the woods will produce as much as
is taken each year for industrial use.
These industries provide jobs and payrolls
without which the community could not exist.
Furthermore, hundreds, obtain employment in
the woods, in the tapping of trees for rosin, in
cutting for pulpwood and lumber, in planting
seedlings, maintaining fences and fire lanes and
in many other activities.


THE SMOKER'S RESPONSIBILITY
The cigaret you just reached for is more than
a little paper tube filled with tobacco (person-
ally, we smoke cigars). It is a potassium chlor-
ate torch that will burn at a high heat intil it
is consumed to ashes. The chemical is mixed
with the tobacco in order to make it burn.
steadily.
The significance of this should be clear to


anyone. The apparently harmless cigaret is one
of the greatest menaces to life and property
when carelessly handled. Last year careless
smokers were responsible for 130,000 fires-
many of which caused death, injury and high
property damage. Will the total be greater this
year?
The rules for safe handling of cigarets, and all
other tobacco products, are simple enough. Al-
ways put them out in an ash tray or some other
safe container when you're done with them.
Never throw a burning butt from a car-this par-
ticular type of carelessness has caused some of
the worst forest fires the country has known.
That's one reason the car makers put an ash re-
ceiver in cars. And, above all, don't smoke in
bed. A cigaret will set bedding afire far more
quickly than most of us realize-as many a
smoker has learned to his sorrow. And smoking
in bed has sent a legion of smokers into the here-
after prematurely.
So, if you smoke, accept the responsibility that
goes with it-the responsibility to use tobacco
safely, in accordance with the rules.

THANKSGIVING
Next Thursday is Thanksgiving Day again,
and some, surveying the past twelve-month, may
feel they have little for which to be thankful.
Let them compare their estate with that of the
Pilgrims. Let them test their courage and spirit
against the courage and spirit of Governor Brad-
ford and his little company.
After all, there is more to Thanksgiving Day
than a turkey, symbol of plenty, and a digestion-
testing dinner. It is a day of retrospection. An-
other year of adventure and experience has
passed-and here we are!
Surely we are riper in knowledge; surely we,


know ourselves and the world better; surely we
have profited, even though it may have been at
the expense of hard knocks. Rather than the ma-
terial achievement, reckon up the spiritual.
The Pilgrims, that first Thanksgiving Day, were
poorer than they had been in England in goods
of the world, but they had proved they could
make a living in their new country, where they
had the priceless blessing of liberty to think
and speak after their own will. Therefore their
hearts were filled with thankfulness, and they
made light of their hardships.
When we study the, story of that first Thanks-
giving Day, we find in it the holiday's true spirit.

Work faithfully for eight hours a day and don't
worry; then in time you may become boss and
work sixteen hours a day and have all the worry.

Commercial Floats
Nixed for Inaugural

The committee handling details
for the Warren inaugural celebra-
tion to be held January 4 in Talla-
hasee has ruled out commercial
floats of any character in the pa-
rade.
It still is undecided whether units
of the Ringling Brothers-Barnum '&
Bailey Circus would be permitted.
Sarasota claims the big show is a
part of their community and wants
to send two elephants.
Since it is a "poor man's" show,
no admission will be charged at
any of the four balls, it is stated.
Persons designated colonels will
be asked to wear only the insignia,
no fancy uniforms.

It pays to advertise try it!

Senators See Big

Benefits for State

Hope To Get More Rivers and
Harbors Cash, Aid to Citrus
Growers, Equalized, Freight
Rates, Boost In Wage Rate.

Florida benefits of great com-
mercial value are seen by Senators
Holland and Pepper from the re-
cent Democratic victory.
Holland thinks the state's grow-
ers finally may get federal funds to
repay their losses from the Medi-
terranean fruit fly infestation of 19
years ago. He and Pepper intro-
duced a bill at the last session to
allot $10,000,000 for the purpose.
Holland also thinks that Florida
will get more rivers and harbors
-monies; that canners will be placed
under a marketing agreement, and
that the South will find less opposi-
tion in its fight for equalized
freight rates.
Pepper said he hoped to achieve
relief for the Florida citrus indus-
try and flood control funds for the
state. Nationally, he saw besides
repeal of the Taft-Hartley act, new
deals in health insurance, a more
liberal social security and higher
minimum wage.
Pepper said President Truman
and the Democratic party have
promised a 50 per cent increase in
social security benefits, and he is
,going to work for it. He said he
would try to establish social se-
curity benefits at a minimum fig-
-ure with a view to state participa-
tion, and that he would like to see
the federal government pay each
person $50 a month from the age
of 60, and have states provide
enough to give each person a total
of $100 a month; $200 for man and
wife when both are eligible. "I re-
alize this cannot be done over-
night," Pepper said, "but this is
what I am working toward."
Pepper said he wanted to see an
improvement in the old age and
survivors insurance program and
material and child welfare care,
and that he intended to work for
an increase in the minimum wage
from 40 to 75 cents and for repeal
of the Taft-Hartley law, with a re-
vision of legislation affecting la-
bor and management.
He said he was vitally interested
in a program to bring prosperity
to the citrus industry, and that he
was going to work with the indus-
try and state for price support that
would give the grower at least the
cost of production.

Haliford Will Conduct
Revival At White City

Former Pastor of St. Joe Church
Plans Two-Week Stay

Beginning Sunday, November 21.
at 7 p. m. CST, Evangelist R. F.
Hallford of Dothan, Ala.. will con-
duct a series of revival services in
the White City community house.
These services will continue at the
same hour each night through De-
cember 5. with a Sunday morning
service at 11 o'clock on November
28 and December 5.
As there is no organized church
of any denomination in the White
City community, the evangelist de-
sires to stress that the meetings
are for everybody, regardless of
denominational affiliation or pref-
erence. Everyone is invited to at-
tend.
Evangelist Hallford is well known
to the people of Port St. Joe and
vicinity, having been pastor of the
First Baptist Church here from
1941 until early in 1947. This is his
17th revival since March 1, besides
a Bible conference and a Youth
Camp, in which meetings there


were approximately 250 responses his friends to attend the services
to his propositions. He urges all at White City.

Helicopter Will Shoot

Pictures of Inaugural

Project Under Way To Show Old
Films of Catts Inauguration

A helicopter will soar over the
Fuller Warren inaugural parade at
Tallahassee January 4 with cam-
erailen aboard to record for all
time the procession.
B. A. Cawthon, Florida State
Theaters cameraman, who has ac-
cumulated a movie file of past in-
augurations going as far back as
the late Sidney J. Catts, arranged
the helicopter transportation for
himself and others who will be
aboard. It will fly from Puerto Rico
to Tallahassee for use.
Cawthon, co-ordinator of the pic-
torial division of the inaugural
committee,. is working on a project
which would see a 50-foot screen
erected near the capitol with films
of the Catts inauguration in 1917-
31 years ago-shown first on in-
augural night and then that day's
shots of the Warren inaugural to
follow for comparison.
Catts wore a frock coat at the
inaugural when he took over from
the late Park Trammel. Derby hats
were much in evidence, and the
1917 autos raised plenty of dust as
they passed the capital via a clay
road in front at that time. Horses
and buggies were in profusion, and
many in the parade rode horses.

Grahams Have Visitors
Mr. and Mrs. Lee Graham and
Dr. Henry H. Graham of Gaines-
ville arrived last Saturday for a
week's visit with Rev. Lee Graham
and family. They are the parents
and brother of Rev. Graham.

Forgive Them and


Take 'Em Back In

Fold, Says Carter


National Democratic Commit-
teeman Would Forget Defec-
tions of Those Who Strayed
During Recent Eection.

Jerry W. Carter favors hanging
out a sign on the door of the Dem-
ocratic party reading: "All is for-
given. Come back home."
. The national Democratic com-
mitteeman for Florida this week
wrote Chairman Alex Littlefield of
the state committee suggesting
that the party forgive and forget
the defections of the last general
election.
"The good solid substantial peo-
ple of this and most other states
refused to be misled by propa-
ganda, as a few of our erring bro-
thers and sisters were," Commit-
teeman Carter wrote. "The result
was a satisfactory victory for the
Democrats and a wholesome les-
son to those who were tempted
from the fold. Let us, therefore;
make it easy for them to come back
home, in keeping with the spirit of
that grand old hymn which says,
'As long as the lamp holds out to
burn, the vilest sinner may re-
turn.'


"The policy of the Democratic It's A Gal for the Bounds'
party has seldom been to punish Mr. and Mrs. Carl Bounds of Ma-
those who differed with its leaders. con, Ga., formerly of this city, are
However, I think we ought to make announcing the birth of a daughter

have been outspoken against the
party and its candidates will have
to undergo a period of penance be-
fore they can aspire to honor at
the hands of the party again. Those
hostile elements once bent on
wrecking the Democratic party
must undergo a spell of purifica-
tion before they can aspire again
to leadership.
"I think it ought to -be a source
of satisfaction to recall that even
the strongest appeals to religious
and racial prejudice have failed to
shake the party more than tempor-
arily. Our Democratic' people are
built of such sturdy stuff that they
can shake off temporary spells of
dizziness and get their eyes focused
again on the real objectives of the
party, which are a happy people
and a chance for everyone. ,
"It seems to me we have had a
chance to recover our party equi-
librium by now, thanks to your
capable direction, and I respect-
fully suggest that our party hang
out the sign: 'All is forgiven.
Come back home.' Let's not over-
look an opportunity to get our fam-
ily all under one roof again."

S. the cooks lot has certainly improved,

Mrs. Puritan, back in the days of the early

fireplace and spend hot, tedious hours turning [i
me around so I'd be done to a golden brown all
over. Today's homemaker, however, doesn't
bother to cook me at all no, she turns the
job over completely to a handy little fellow
named Reddy Kilowatt who lives in her electric r
oven. He handles the job with absolutely no fuss, .I X.3,lifh11, /iI
no muss, and without even heating up the kitchen. ,i i.
Mrs. Electrical Living just puts me in and takes
me out.., and she's so cool and unruffled that
she actually enjoys her own Thanksgiving dinner ii.

P. S. I understand an electric range does a lot i /
of other things besides roast turkeys, too. It '-" _

safe, speedy and economical .. It can cook
whole meals automatically. If I were anything 194864

enthusiastic about having' one and I'd go

COMPANY

JOE, FLORIDA


HUDSON FLOORSarerecessed down within the Iratne (as shown
above), seats are lowered, so you get more than ample head
room in this car with the new lower center of gravity.
YOU RIDE DOWN within a base frame (as shown above), and
rear seats are positioned ahead of the rear wheels so that
full body width becomes available for wonderfully roomy
seats. Box-section steel girders completely encircle and protect
the passenger compartment.

TRY AUTOMATIC GEAR SHIFTING in forward speeds as pro-
vided by Hudson's Drive-Master transmission-by far the
easiest of all waas to drive. You can accelerate as long and
:is fast as you like in pick-up gear, then lift your toe monien-
tarily, and you're in high. The shift into high comes oply
Shliti you are ready Button control on the instrument papel
provides instant change to conventional driving if ever
l-hired. Drive-Master transmission is optional on all New
II ndsons at small extra cost.


Come in, try Hudson with the all-
new, high-compression Super-Six en-
gine (the most powerful American
six built today) or the masterful
Super-Eight. Both provide wonder-
fully alert power for a new type of
motor car with an exclusive "step-
down" design.
Millions say the New Hudson is the reign-
ing beauty in the automobile parade-
but you can't really know this great car
until you drive it-and you're invited to
do just that-now!
Hudson, with the new, 121 h.p., high-
compression Super-Six engine or the
masterful Super-Eight, takes you away
with new zip, and outstrips the field with
staying power.
But amazingly alive engines aren't the
whole story of this star performer for '49.
Hudson has a new hug-the-road way of
going in cross-winds and on every con-
ceivable kind of highway.
This all happens because-as is widely
known-the lower to the ground a car


can be built, the more stability it will
have. Hudson has the lowest center of
gravity in any American stock car!
This remarkable car has floors recessed
down within a base frame (Hudson is the
only car you step down into), enabling
Hudson to build the lowest car on the
highway, only five feet from ground to
top-while maintaining more than ade-
quate head room!

You sense a delightful conformity to the
road the minute you begin to ride, and
this gives you a grand feeling of safe well-
being! This feeling is further enhanced
by the ease with which this car is oper-
ated, and by the quiet with which Hudson
glides along.
Come in, let us show you why Hudson's
great engines and fabulous "step-down'
design principle** put this car so far
ahead it is a protected investment in
motor car value!
**The many important advantages in Hudson's nev
"step-down" design are. explained in a booklet
available at the nearest Hudson dealer's."

COMMERCIAL FISHERMEN
OF STATE NOT REQUIRED TO
HAVE WHOLESALE LICENSE
Commercial fishermen of Florida
are not required to pay a whole-
sale dealers' license unless they
sell directly to the retailer or the
consumer, the state supreme court
has ruled.
The court, in an unanimous opin-
ion, said the fisherman is required
to pay a boat license and "when he
sellshis catch direct to the whole-
saler, we do not think the act con-
templates that he procure a whole-
-sale seafood dealers' license."
If such a license tax is imposed,

The decision reversed a ruling by
the Palm Beach circuit court which
restrained M. R. Hall from selling
his catch until he purchased a
wholesale dealers' license. The
state board of conservation, which
brought the suit against Hall, levies
a $50 a year license tax against
wholesale dealers.
