A large circle of poinsettias on a low coffee table, holly and lights in the windows, and a lovely Madonna figuerine in a setting of poinsettias completed the living room scene. Gleaming silver-sprayed dog fen- nel, cedar and dried cedar Balls with gay red candles adorned the dining table.

McGRATH IS QUITE UNHAPPY Howard McGrath, President Truman's new at- torney general, is quite unhappy these days. You've all seen the large A&P food store ad- vertisements appearing in newspapers through- out the country, including The Star? Well, Mr. McGrath has accused the food chain of obstruct- ing justice by carrying messages to the people to give them a distorted picture of the government's anti-trust suit against the firm. So Mr. McG. has taken it upon himself "to set the public straight." But since, as he says, the de- partment of justice hasn't funds for paid adver- tising to counteract the A&P's claims, he has been forced to get what free newspaper space he can to discuss his side of the case. The federal government has never seen fit to discuss pending cases in print, but this time it's different. The government is not only willing to discuss the case, but is sending out literature to newspapers begging for free space. All such crap received by The Star goes into the waste basket. For the first time, as far back as we can re- member, a private business has the government on the defensive with the people, and the shoe is pinching so hard the the government is yelping about "obstruction of justice" and pleading with the newspapers for free space to answer claims of its opponent. As one of the papers carrying the A&P ads, The Star can't concur with Mr. McGrath. We're tickled to death at seeing somebody bold enough to strike back at your friend (he ain't ours) Mr. Truman's socialistic government in defense of its business principles. We've a notion to write Mr. McG. and tell him that newspapers, particularly The Star, have not yet reached the stage when they have to become stooges for the government, and that if he wants any space, we'll be glad to sell it to him at our regular advertising rates. Now, if he wants to take a few pokes at John L. Lewis and Phillip Murray, the two gentlemen who are currently engaged in smashing the en- tire economy of our country, well be glad to give him plenty of free space, but we just can't seem to get overduly excited about his fight against the A&P. Your friend(he ain't ours) Harry Truman is hollering that higher taxes be enacted at the next session of congress, which is another example of the limited and one-track thinking that is preva- lent among the Washington planners who are de- termined to replace Americanism with Socialism.

TEN YEARS AGO From the Files of The Star Harbor Hearing Held Here Approximately 50 representative citizens and business men from this city, neighboring cities, and points as far distant as Galveston, Texas, and Pittsburgh, Pa., gath- ered at the Port Inn Tuesday in a hearing before members of the U. S. Engineers office at Mobile re- garding improvement of St. Joseph Bay. Statistics filed indicated 'that it was anticipated the local port would handle approximately 1,794,- 750 tons of commerce during the next 12 months, and that widening and deepening of the channel would result in a saving of something like a million dollars in the hand- ling of this tonnage. Unfavorable Report On Bay Project Word was received this week that the rivers and harbors committee had made an unfavorable report on proposed improvements to Apa- lachicola Bay because benefits to present and prospective commerce are incommensurate with cost of the project.

"All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children's, are little.

"Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. "He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Vir- ginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. "Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! "You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove?

Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not Back in 1897, little Virginia O'Hanlon wrote the fol- lowing letter to the editor of the New York Sun: "I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no 'Santa Claus. Papa says, 'If you see it in The Sun it's so.' Please tell me the truth-is there a Santa Claus?"' The editor wrote a newspaper and literary classic in reply to this childish plea. It is reprinted here. there-nobody can conceive or imagine all the won- ders that are unseen and unseeable in the world. "You tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil.eovering the unseen world which not the strongest man, or even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside the curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. "Is it all real?-ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding. "No Santa Claus! Thank God!-he lives, and he lives forever-a thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood."

JOE'S MOST CHRISTMAS COMPLETE SPIRITS LL STOCK Ladies Have Best Chance for Marriage In West Florida Study Also Reveals That Hitches Made In This Section Are Longer-Lasting All of you single gals and widows in this section of the state should take heart from the results of a study just made by Dr. L. M. Bris- tol and Dr. W. W. Ehrmann, profes- sors of sociology at the University .of Florida, which shows that the chances of getting married and re- maining married are better in West :Florida than in East Florida. The study describes trends in marri- ages in Florida for the past twenty years. Florida steadily tops the national average in both marriages and di- vorces. Boom years for Cupid were 1942 and 1943 in Florida, while the national peak was reached in 1942 and 1946. From 1932 to 1946 di- vorces went up three-fold in the U. S., and at the same time rose six- fold in Florida. In 1946, Florida stood next to Ne- vada with the highest state rate of divorce, but while Nevada, with its "divorce mill" at Reno, reached a rate of 157.5, Florida was only 12.1. As a whole, Florida follows na- tional trends in marriage and di- vorce, but there a r e variations. Florida divorces do not show a marked increase with density of population, as in other states, nor is divorce uniformly high in tour- ist centers. Divorce rates were high- est (1928-1947) in Baker, Bradford, Brevard, Hardee and St. Johns counties-the first two are not re- sort areas. Drs. Bristol and Ehrmann point ,out that many factors influence these results in Florida. Some fac- tors to be considered are "mobil- ity" of population, many military installations during the war, re- ligion, the older age group among tourists, the 90-day divorce law en- acted in 1933, and the 1945 marri- age law requiring a three-day wait- ing period. This last may be re- sponsible for the precipitous de- cline in Florida marriage rates af- ter 1945, especially in West Florida counties bordering other states. -K Six Minors In County Receive Work Permits Only six Gulf county minors ob- tained work permits during Sep- tember and October, according to the-Florida Industrial Commission. Young people under 18 are re- quired by the Florida child labor law to have permits prior to em- ployment, and employers are re- minded of the double compensation clause of the workmen's compen- sation act in the event a minor working without a permit is injured. By going to the county board of public instruction, minors may ob- tain these permits by having proof of their age and parental approval.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA The old Cherry Tree carol, or the legend upon which it is based, is undoubtedly the reason for the custom of placing a branch of cherry tree in water to bud for Christmas time. According to this legend, Mary and Joseph on their way to Beth- lehem passed a tree loaded with cherries. Mary was hungry for some of the fruit and asked Joseph to pluck some cherries for her. The tree graciously bowed down so that Mary could pick the fruit herself. It has been customary among the Czechs and Slovaks to take the branch'of a cherry tree and place it in water in the late fall so that the buds reach the blossoming stage at Christmas time. The belief was current that if the sprig blossomed by Christmas Eve. the girl who tended it would marry during the New Year. Two Mondays Are Opened To Hunting Attorney General Rules December 26 and January 2 May Be In- terpreted As Holidays Despite stories carried in daily papers that no hunting would be al- lowed on the Monday following Christmas and New Years, nimrods of Gulf county will be overjoyed to learn that the attorney general has advised the state game commission that it could interpret December 26 and January 2 as legal holidays, and permit shooting. Under this year's rules, Mondays, Tuesday and Fridays are closed to general hunting, but Christmas Day and New Year's Day are open. Both holidays fall on Sunday 'this year, but- are being observed generally on Monday. Members of the game commis- sion had said they did not think the Monday ban could be waived without an official meeting of the commission and proper legal no- tice.

See what, the ex- citement's all about. Try the new Pacemaker! For here, at less cost, are all the beauty, roominess, riding qual- ities and safety that can come only with Hudson's "step-down" design! Here, for instance, is a car that you can instantly see is the lowest-built of them all! Free-flowing, close-to-the- ground design telegraphs the fact that it has the lowest center of gravity in any American automobile-and as a result, you know instinctively, as you view the exciting Hudson Pacemaker, that it hugs the road more tenaciously and is therefore America's safest car! You quickly see, too, that this new member of the low-built Hudson family has .full road clearance and more head room than in any mass- produced car built today-thanks to 'step-down" design and recessed floor! And amazing head room is only one kind of interior spaciousness you'll find in the economical, new Pace- maker. Through "step-down" design and ingenious use of space that is wasted in other makes of cars, this compact automobile of normal ex- terior width brings you more roomi- ness and seat cushions that are up to 12 inches wider than those in even the most expensive cars! It is no longer necessary to put up with crowding, for the Pacemaker provides more room for you than in any other make, at any price! In fact, this car is so marvelous, and the performance of its new high- compression Pacemaker Six engine is so thrilling, that you can't begin to appreciate it until you see it and ride in it! Won't you accept our invitation for a demonstration ride in Hudson's new Pacemaker, today? *Optional at extra cost PORT ST.
