celerate Sales of Small
Gift Items

According to local business men,
Santa Claus is bound for Port St.
Joe this year with perhaps the big-
gest pack of gifts of every descrip-
tion that he has ever swung over
his back.
Yuletide is seven weeks away,
but local merchants already are lay-
ing out their Christmas wares and
preparing to tack up tinsel and
holly boughs for the rush that is
expected to start within the next
ten days.
Gift displays are pouring in, and
the variety of toys for the kiddies
is amazing, again coming from such
faraway places as Hamburg ,and
Tokyo, as well as from American
factories.
"It looks like one of the best-if
not the.best-Christmases Port St.
Joe ever had for the kids, for the
parents and for the merchants,"

Lay Speaker Will Outline
Episcopal Church Program
All members of St. James' Epis-
copal Church will gather next
Thursday evening, November 9, at
8 o'clock to hear a layman describe
the church's work in this country
and overseas. The layman is Lamar
Munroe, hardwareman and promi-
nent churchman of Quincy.
"This is part of a national move-
ment of Episcopalian laymen to ac-
quaint the people of the church with
the church's program," said- Rev.
Lee Graham, pastor, "and its mess-
age of Jesus Christ which is being
taken to all people.
"Last year more than 1100 lay-
men began the huge educational
campaign by speaking to vestries
and parish councils. This year these
laymen are taking their message to
the people in the pews. It is a vast
campaign of laymen, by laymen, for
laymen and in the name of Christ
and His Church."
To make his presentation vivid,
Mr. Munroe will use full color slides
of some phases of the church's mis-
sionary work, and his listeners will
hear the transcribed voices of mis-
sionary bishops actually in the field.
"We are now exporting to the
orient men and arms on missions of
death,"' said Rev. Graham. "Christ
calls us to export also men armed
with Bibles and the gospel of peace.
Billions for defense will stop the
aggressor after he shoots; millions
for Jesus Christ will stop 'the ag-
gressor before he shoots."
Coffee will be" served in the par-
ish house before Munroe's address.

Our Country (7 Right or Wrong

TUESDAY'S ELECTION IMPORTANT -
To put it mildly, the political strategists of
both parties are in a state of confusion and won-
der as to what changes, if any, Tuesday's elec-
tion will produce.
Republican and Democratic party spokesmen
have gone through the routine of saying they ex-
pect whopping victories at the polls. Neither
side, it is safe to say, is anywhere as confident as
those standard-brand prognostications would in-
dicate. The primaries have not demonstrated
much of anything. Both pro-Truman and anti-
Truman candidates have won.
The Democratic position isn much the same as
it was last time. It is argued that the president
is the friend of the masses of the people and the
enemy of the .exploiters, and that his program is
just what the country needs. It will be necessary
to elect a strongly Democratic congress, the ar-
gument continues, to give him the support he
must have.
The basic Republican argument is that the
Democrats have at last proven themselves utterly
incapable of guiding this country through the


period of strain and grave danger that lies ahead.
The Republican leaders feel that there is evi-
dence that this belief has grown in the grass-
roots. Whether it has grown to a sufficient extent
to change the control of congress is what no
one knows.
And these questions will make Tuesday's elec-
tion unusually interesting as well as vitally im-
portant.
There are no opposed candidates on the bal-
lot in Gulf county (unless you consider the Re-
publicans opposed to Jerry Carter and -George
Smathers as possible opposition), but qualified
electors are urged to go to the polls and express
their opinion on the five constitutional amhend-
ments. Four of these amendments are not par-
ticularly important, but No. 1, pertaining t.o juve-
nile courts, is exceeding important, and we trust
that the people of Gulf county will go over-
whelmingly in favor of it.

Capitol Hill would control rents, roads and
railroads; prices, production, power and pork;
airlines, animals, autos, monies andc credits; in-
dustry, crops, illness and old age; and, if it could,
it might even try to regulate demand, popula-
tion, and the hereafter.-T;i' :c City (Ia.) News.

Training Cost Per
Pupil In County
Schools Is $148

Compares FavorablyWith Costs In
Other Counties of North-
west Florida

According to a survey just com-
pleted, the cost of sending a child
to school for a year in Gulf county
averages $148.85. The statewide av-
erage is $170.45.
Lowest cost per pupil in the state
went to Bay county with $117.15.
Other Northwest Florida counties
had the following costs: Calhoun,
$170.15; Franklin. $191.96; Gadsden,
$134.32; Holmes, $130.52; Liberty,
$211.52; Okaloosa. $124.50; Walton.
$156.95; Washington, $122.52; Wa-
kulla, $169.57.
With Gulf county ranking sixth
in Northwest Florida, County Su-
perintendent Tom Owens points out
that consolidation of school centers
had.a lot to do with reducing the
cost per pupil.
Owens pointed out that numerous
surveys have showed it costs more
to run small schools than large
ones, which explains the trend from
onre-teacher schools to modernly
equipped, centralized school plants.
A survey of costs of schools of
Florida published recently in The
Star revealed that the cost of a 49-
.pupil school is $314.36 per pupil,
while the cost of a 1000-pupil school
drops to $77.30 per pupil.

DON LINTON STANDS OUT
IN CHIPOLA COLLEGE TILT
' In the grid game last week be-
tween Chipola Junior College and
the Florida State U. B team. Don
LiRton was largely responsible for
the FSU 33-6 win.
On their initial touchdown, Lin-
ton passed to Thomas for 19 yards
and then went over for the count
on a quarterback sneak. Florida
State's second marker came as Lin-
ton passed to Cliff Powell, end, for
the final six yards.
The last of the five FSU touch-
downs resulted when Don passed
15 yards to Preston Bradley, full-
back; for the score.

buying of "small" gifts is acceler-

tail merchandising upswing which
has helped shove Florida'seconomy

the state, department store sales
so far are up 12 per cent over last
year.

like a big Christmas for everybody

blaze before it could get well un-
der way.
In all four instances evidence was
found indicating that some person
or persons had deliberately started
the fires by tying kitchen matches
around a cigaret, lighting the cig-
aret and tossing it into the weeds.
The slowly-burning cigaret gave the
incendiarist an estimated 10 or 15
minutes to leave the scene before


the matches ignited and started the
fire.
Officials checking on the blazes
have a pretty good idea who the
culprit is, but can't determine the
imotive-whether it is to see the
fire trucks run or whether it is
some bait-grunter burning off the
land for better worm-hunting.
