Returns In Seal Sale Have Reached Half-way Mark With Seven Days Remaining In Drive, Chairman Hopes To Make Quota By Xmas Returns so far from the 1948 Christmas Seal sale total $650, with seven days remaining until the of- ficial close of the sale on Christ- mas Day, Harry Saunders, cam- paign chairman, announced yester- day. This sum represents 50% of the quota of $1300, which is the mini- mum necessary to carry out the 1949 tuberculosis prevention and control program of the, Gulf County Tuberculosis Association, Saunders explained. "We hope to reach our quota by Christmas," he added. "We know that many county residents have delayed answering their seal sale letters because they have been busy with other Christmas preparations. But we urge all who have not yet responded to get their checks in the mail at their earliest convenience. "We are sincerely grateful to everyone who has answered our ap- peal. Their prompt response means that they want the activities of the tuberculosis association to con- tinue, since th4 association receives its sole support from the sale of Christmas Seals." -- -- Has-Sant. :ln Person One of the most realistic Santa Clauses we've seen in many a moon is standing in the big display win- dow at the home of Fan's Flowers '(Mr. and Mrs. W.

Lecturer Tells of Problems Facing Youth of Today Two Talks By Dr. Hartz of University of Florida Spon- sored By Local P.-T. A. Speaking at the parish house Thursday evening of last week and at the high school auditorium Fri- day, Dr. Edswin R. Hartz assistant professor of social work at Florida State University, delivered inter- esting lectures to large audiences on the religious and emotional problems confronting youth today. Dr. Hartz was sponsored by the local Parent-Teacher Association. The lecturer touched on such a variety of problems that he supple- mented his talk with answers in reply to questions from his audi- ence. The family life institute is an extension of the social services of the university, and although Dr. Hartz touched only the highlights of various phases of child develop- ment, his lectures were vitally in- teresting and gave a practical ap- proach to youth problems, their basis and possible cure. In speaking of the development of religious interests in the child, Hartz deplored the fact that "many families turn over to the church all formal spiritual training of their children, and without the solid background of religion taught and lived in .the home, these. children lack clarification of. religious prin- ciples and are likely to grow up with the conception that there la no wisdom in the universe beyond themselves. When they meet a crisis and discover their own hu. man strength to be insufficient, they are unable to use the tech- niques which the race has handed down to those who follow the re- ligious tradition." The lecturer is of the belief that children believe what they are taught at home and get security from their parents. In discussing the safeguarding of a child's per- sonality, the speaker stressed the fact that "children are curious and they need questions answered na- turally, impersonally and truthfully in a language on their own level." Hartz stated that the ideal setup for raising healthy-minded children is a happy home where two parents are concerned, with t-h e child'S health, personal integrity, social adjustment and development of such skills and abilities as life will demand of him. Speaking on the development of (Continued on page 8) Masons and R. A. M.

Here are two simple things to do if you want your tree to stay green and fresh. Buy a tree which has been cut as recently as possible. Cut off the -end of the trunk diag- onally, at least one inch above the original cut. This will expose a moist surface which will absorb wa- ter. Stand the trunk of the tree in water at once, and, if it is not to be taken into the house for several days, keep it in a' cool place.

Two news stories emanating from Washington and datelined Sunday seem to be somewhat at variance. Says distpatch No. 1: "A good bet today is that congress will dig deeper into many tax- payers' pockets in 1949 the only ques- tion is whether the increased taxes will be placed on business or spread to the individual taxpayers. Senator Flanders, committee chairman, told re- porters 'we have got to have a source of taxation -the big problem is where to draw the taxes from without hurting our economy'." Says dispatch No. 2: "President Truman and the 2,000,000 government workers who carry out his program both may get pay increases from the new congress.. Although the increases would cost the treasury about $1,000,000,000 a year, Senator Olin Johnston said he thought they could be granted without increasing taxes be- cause government income is running ahead of estimates." The latter story would seem to indicate that the government is in the position of the small boy with a brand new fifty-cent piece in his pocket devising ways of spending it. If the government is taking in more than it can spend, why the necessity for a tax increase in 1949? Why not cut off some of those two mil- lion employes and split up the salaries saved among the remainder? That would eliminate the billion dollar increase in pay checks. 10 YEARS AGO From the Files of The Star Centennial Closes In Blaze of Color Florida's Centennial Celebration closed Saturday night amid a blaze of color after four glamorus days and nights. The fete closed with a parade of lighted floats depicting the rise and decline of old St. Jo- seph and the development of the -modern city of Port St. Joe, a bril- liant display of fireworks, and a grand ball in Centennial Auditor- ium. Saturday was Constitution Day and talks were made by J. C. Yonge of the Florida Historical So- ciety; Mrs. E. M. Brevard, regent of the state D. A. R.; Senator Spes- sard L. Holland;- Representatives Millard Caldwell, Rex Green and Joe Hendricks; George C. Gibbs, state attorney general; J. M. Lee. state comptroller, and Col. Richard With such contradictory stories emanating from our national seat of government, what can the poor tax-ridden taxpayer believe-can he look forward to no new taxes next year, or will he have to dig even deeper into his pocket to keep a lot of unnecessary jobholders in the style to which they are not accustomed unless they hold a political job? We should think those boys up there on the Potomac would get together on their stories. GOVERNMENTS CANNOT MAKE NATIONS RICH "I adhere to the school of those -who believe that government cannot make nations rich, that wealth is gathered only by individual exertion and enterprise, that state expenditure is almost always profligate and wasteful, and that the more freedom enjoyed by the citizen and the less the interference of the state the higher will be the standard of the public well-being." That is taken from an article which appeared in Collier's more than 12 years ago. It was writ- ten by Whiston Churchill who, shortly thereaf- ter, was to become the leader of the British Commonwealth in the greatest crisis the modern world has known. Since that time almost the entire world has become an unhappy example of Mr. Churchill's truism. The prosperity and well-being of peo- ples has gone down in direct ratio to the increase in the power and prerogatives of states. And, of far greater importance, these material losses have been accompanied by ruthless destruction of human liberty, and by the degradation of the individual. Recently-since the Labor government came to power in England, and this country started her vast program of aid to Europe-Mr. Churchill made another statement which should be read and re-read everywhere. It is this: "How the ministers can deride the system of free enterprise SAnd capitalism which makes America great and wealthy, and then at the same time eagerly seek the aid which has hitherto been so generously granted from across the Atlantic-that is a gri- mace which baffles the limitations of our lan- guage to explain." When it comes to such activity as painting a room or building a stand for the Christmas tree, we've learned that our wife's editorial "we" means "me." Park, U. S. Engineers, Mobile.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA Judge Clay Lewis Main Speaker At Postmaster Meet Cites Advantages of Democracy At All-Day Session Held In Panama City We don't know whether he was called in at the last minute due to the fact that Senator Claude Pep- per and Representative Bob Sikes failed to show up, but Circuit Judge E. Clay Lewis Jr., was the principal speaker Saturday night at a ban. quet meeting held in Panama City which wound up a day-long confer- ence of postmasters of District 3. Lewis warned the malcontents and easily persuaded to "beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow." He re- minded the postmasters and their guests that only under a demo- cratic form of government is the supreme authority retained by the people and exercised by legislative representatives, subject to replace- ment. He pointed to this nation, with its 35,000,000 homes, higher wages and shorter hours, and a standard of living unequalled anywhere as proof that democracy is the best form of. all government. E. Clay pointed to forces stirring discontent and trouble between management and labor and races and declared that the one objective was to install a Communist regime in Washington.
