First Christmas

Seal Humane Idea

That Took Root

Had Birth In Brain of Danish
Postal Clerk Back
In 1903

Children and adults alike know
countless stories connected with
the Christmas season, some of them
recent, but most of them handed
down through the years. As one

might expect,
many of these
stories have to
do with kind-
ness, compas-
sion, or gener-
osit y, or a
combination of
the three. Take
the story of the
first Christmas

:S41l, for example-a humane idea
that took root and has helped save
millions of lives through providing
the means to fight a dread disease
--tuberculosis.
,he story begins in Denmark on
'Christmas Eve of 1903, with a Dan-
ish postal clerk working late at his
job of sorting mail. As the clerk
glanced at .hundreds of cancelled
stamps carrying Christmas greet-
ings, it occurred to him that Christ-
mas stamps might do more than
just carry good wishes. -There could
be a special stamp.; at Christmas
time to. raise funds to help the
needy sick. "
The Danishkitng enthusiastically
approved the postal clerk's idea,
and such a stamp was sold in Den-
mark in 1904 and the money used
to help tuberculous children.
The great Danish-American phil-
anthropist, Jacob Rils, wrote an ar-
ticle in 1907 about the Danish seal
and urged that something similar
hbe done in America to raise funds
to fight tuberculosis, then the lead-
ing cause of death.
His article was read by Emily
Bissell, a Delaware welfare worker,
who recalled it a few months later
.when she was asked to raise money
for the care of some needy tubercu-
lous patients.
Acting on Mr. Rits' suggestion,
Miss Bissell designed a seal and
put on a Christmas Seal sale in Del-
aware during the Christmas season
of 1907. The people responded, and
Miss Bissell raised ten times the

Brightly Lit Windows and Stores
Brimming With Gifts Herald
Christmas Season

While Christonmas hls been in the
air for some time now,,, an extra
lift to the Yule season was added
this week when strings of vari-col-
ored lights were put up on Reid
and Monument Avenues and the
huge electric star was raised to
the top of the flagpole at the A. N.
depot.
With brightly-lit store windows
tastefully arranged with all man-
ner of items' and the stores them-
selves 'brimming over with lovely
gifts for all the family, it would
seem that Christmas this year in
Port St. Joe will be one of the best
in many years.
An added feature of the Yuletide
will be the first appearance of 01'
Santa in person tomorrow at the
Boyles Department Store, where he
will interview children as to their

Earner, Who Needs
Transportation

A poll of Port St. Joe car dealers
made by The Star finds a melan-
choly bunch of men whose finest
used cars sit untried on their lots
and whose sale of new cars is noth-
iag to brag about.
Looking over the lots we find a
large number of glistening Fords,
Chevrolets, Plymouths and other
popular-priced models that would
have brought around $1800 a few
months ago going a-begging today
for $1500 or a little better.
The gloom that besets these gen-
tlemen is "Regulation W," the law
that says that if you wish to buy a
car-new or used-you must pay at
least one-third down and agree to
complete the payments in 'fifteen
months instead of twenty-four, as
previously allowed.
Before Korea, you could buy a
light 1949 car for $60 a month on
the installment plan. Now, for the
same auto, you will have to shell
out about $90 a. month.
"Frankly, it is demoralizing the
automobile business," said W. 0.
Anderson, local Ford dealer. "It is
working a hardship on the little
man who needs transportation but
can't afford that kind of a bite out
of his wages. The only way to over-
come this regulation is for all of us
to put pressure on our congressmen
and senators, and we will need help
from the public 'in doing this. In
the national picture it has affected
sales of cars fifty per cent or'bet-
ter, especially used cars."
Charley Garraway, St. Joe, Chey-
rolet and Oldsmobile distributor,
says: "It's certainly getting the
cart before the horse. If there was
a shortage of cars it would be dif-
ferent. It's an imposition not only
on the dealers but on the public.
It wasn't necessary to tell the pub-
lic how much to pay down on a car
and how to pay for it. Its not dem-
ocratic, but bureaucratic and so-
cialistic. A car is a necessary piece
of property for everyone in Port
St. Joe, since we have no bus ser-
vice. It comes right down to the.
fact that the government is telling
the workingman of Port St. Joe'

Flowers Are Part
Of Yule Legends
There are several flowers appro-
priate during the Yuletide season
which are connected with the birth
of Christ by the legends of history.
Sainfoin, or "Holy Hay," is said
to have cradled the infant Christ in
the manger. The snowdrop is the
flower of the Virgin Mary, and is
said to be the emblem of the can-
dies she lighted on Christmas.
According to legend, the Christ-
mas rose was divinely created. A
shepherd maid wept at having no
gift to lay before the Babe in the
manger. Suddenly an angel ap-
peared to her. On hearing why the
maiden wept, the angel touched the
ground where her tears had fallen
and immediately the place was
white with Christmas roses, which
the maid gathered and laid in the
manger.
The chrysanthemum is said to
have appeared first on Christmas
Eve near the manger as a sign to
the Wise Men that they had reached
the spot where the star had bicdden
therm

GARDEN NOTES
PORT ST. JOE GARDEN CLUB

As soon as possible, cut out the
wood injured on your shrubs by the
recent freeze. The shrubs look un-
sightly if not pruned, and it is bet-
ter for the shrub to have the in
jured wood cut away immediately.
It's a good idea to make planting
holes for trees and shrubs now so
places will be ready for them when
you get ready to set them out. Pick
the right spot to begin with for a
tree, because a tree isn't easily
moved once it becomes established.
To prepare holes for trees, dig
them large enough to contain the
root systems of the size selected,
throw in a layer of compost and
some commercial fertilizer, fill al-
most to the top with good woods
soil, but leave a basin to gather wa-
ter. The newly-made planting site
should be kept moist..
Spacing is important in planting
trees. In order that they may reach
their best development they should
be given space to grow as indi-
viduals. Small trees like redbuds
and dogwoods may start 25 feet
apart, magnolias 50 feet apart, and
the live oaks should stand 75 feet
apart for good development.
For the average small lot the
live oak is too large. Smaller trees
should be selected. Every yard
should have trees-not too many on
a small lot but surely even the
smallest lot should include at least
one or two. They can serve as a
frame for the house, provide shade,
protect plants from frost. provide
shelter for birds, and add to the
beauty of your home as well as

REINDEER GOOD i ';T

brown roasts.
Reindeer meat has a flavor of
its own, but it tastes a lot like
beef or veal.
Usually, the round is preferred
for roasting or steaks. The low-
er end of the round, being less
tender, can serve as a pot roast.
Being thinner than beef, the loin
and rib cuts make satisfactory
small steaks. These cuts also
may be used as chops.
Double loin may be prepared
either boned or unboned and then
roasted a saddle. The shoul-
der also makes a fine roast.
The big problem, of course, is
getting the reindeer.

AGAIN WE GET LEFT OUT
Always, when some group makes a "tour of
the state," Northwest Florida receives no atten-
tion, despite the fact that we have some of the
finest beaches in Florida, large manufacturing
industries and a large farming section.
Latest group to make a "tour" were American
Automobile Association travel counselors from
28 motor clubs in 14 southeastern states. These
travel counselors, we might point out, are very
important people, for they are the boys who
stand behind the counter and suggest what the
motorist should see and where he should go to
see it.
This group, which spent a week in the Sun-
shine State, traveling in chartered air-conditioned
buses, started from Jacksonville, visited cities as
far as Daytona Beach, crossed over to the west
coast by way of Silver Springs, spent a couple of
days in St. Petersburg, Sarasota and Tampa, went

back to the east coast via Clewiston to Miami, Sharit Jr., and Alfred Rhames.
and ended their journey at Jacksonville. TE A il Storage Tanks To Go Up

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.

"Yes, indeed! '
"Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have
been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age-
they do not believe except what they see-they think
that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by
their little minds.
"All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or
children's, are little.
"in this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect,
an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless
world about him, as measured by the intelligence
capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.
"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? Nobody sees Santa
Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus
-the most real things in the world are those neither
children nor men can see.
"Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn?
Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not

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 covering
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."

Be Careful of Woods
Fires, Warns Ranger
County Ranger H. A. Hardy of
Gulf county states that this spell
of dry, windy weather is causing a
tinder-like condition in the woods,
and unless all of us are careful,
much damage from wildfire will be
the result, as woods fires are be-
coming more numerous all the time,
particularly with the hunting sea-
son underway, which means more
people out in the woods.
Ranger Hardy also states that the
landowners' co-operation in report-
ing their plans to do control burn-
ing, brush or debris burning, is
urgently needed. At the. present
time much time is lost and equip-
ment covers many miles each day
checking smoke from control burn-
ing. This is causing delays in
men and equipment reaching woods
fires, resulting in greater damage
to the woods and the equipment.

Once again in the news is the '

scandal grew with the trees. .
Today but 1,337 acres remain of 'f.
what once was a reservation of 60,- .
000 acres all around the edge of sl
Pensacola Bay, near Pensacola. The Loring Raoul, prominent Sarasota tr
state bought this land as surplus celery grower, who was re-elected b
from the navy in 1947 and converted president of the Florida Farm Bu- n
it into a part of the state system of reau at the state convention in Day-

new recreation area for the people personal time with the 50 county b
of the South. farm bureaus throughout the state h
What gives the new park a fresh as well as with the American Farm p.
hold on the news is a decision by Bureau in Washington and Chicago th
the supreme court of Florida stat- representing Florida on national ag- T
Ing that a group of people claiming ricultural problems. There is no da
ownership on these lands and who salary attached to the job, the of- a
paid taxes on them for 50 years, fice being strictly honorary. e7
ought to at least get their money
back The court, in effect, told the
state that it ought to pay these peo-
ple or give them the land. Since the
property is worth many times the
sum of those old taxes, it may be-
come a subject for the next legisla-
ture to consider.
About the time the United States
navy was formed, in 1799, the new
government began looking for live
oak, those giant trees whose moss-
hung arms stretch over much of
North and .West Florida, and of
other parts of the South, too. This
tough wood was much esteemed for
building ships.
By 1822, .when Florida was a ter-
ritory, Joseph M. White of Pensa-
cola, a territorial delegate, dis-
covered that in and near Pensacola
were vast stands of live oak, or
land on which they could be grown
and protected from wood thieves.
By a coincidence. he and a friend,
Henry M. Breckenridge, happened
"o have some of this land. The navy
later was induced to buy it, and
Breckenridge became its paid cus-
todian. These facts were bruited .
about congress for years before
Breckenridge and White passed out
of the picture.
But the boom in live oak ended
when the iron-plated Merrimac of LO W EF
the Confederate forces nearlyruined
the wooden Union navy, and only
the timely arrival of the Monitor,
another iron vessel, saved the day.
The period of the woodeni warship
closed with that historic fight in -
Hampton Roads, and with the pass-
ing of the wooden ships, the navy
lost interest in its live oak reserva-
tion.
The reservation was erroneously
put on the tax books of Santa Rosa
county in 1870, taxes were assessed PA C EM A
and not paid, tax certificates were
issued and sold, and for nearly 60
years a group of people who thought
they owned these lands lived there
and 'blithely paid their taxes. Pacemtker Custom Series
In 1933 the state ceded the land two-door Broham
back to the navy for inclusion in
the Pensacola naval district with-
out so much as "by your leave." It
was only when the state sought to
clear title to this land, after buying
it back after the war for $100,000,
that these owners got their day in
court.

Danger From Tree
Fire Ever Present
Although the Christmas tree is
ne of the most picturesque Yule-
ide ornaments, it is a!so one of the
nost dangerous, with the threat of
re an ever present possibility.
Replacement of the candle by the
electric light has removed some of
he hazards formerly experienced,
ut danger still lurks from faulty
connections or careless handling of
ulbs and strings.
To minimize the fire hazard, the
department of agriculture offers
wo pertinent suggestions: First,
eep the tree well watered and,
second, fireproof it with ammonium
ulphate or calcium chloride.
To provide the tree with sufficient
'ater, cut the butt on a slant at
east an inch above the original cut.
Keep the water level above the
lashed surface. In purchasing a
ree, always look for one that has
een felled recently so that the
needles have not dried.
Fresh trees also are essential for
ame-proofing. In using ammonium
ulphate, a chemical content one-
)urth the weight of the tree should
e used. After dissolving one and a
alf pints of the ammonium in a
found of water, slash the stem of
he tree and place it in the solution.
hen, let the tree stand four to six
ays in the solution for complete
bsorption. Trees fireproofed in this
manner will not be ignited by an
ectric s r :'1;.

the "little" buyer the hardest, says
Hilton Lewis of the M. G. Lewis &
Sons Garage, Hudson. Willys and
Kaiser distributors. "The guy with
enough to pay cash for a Cadillac
isn't worried,': he said, "but the av-
erage working man with a mode.i:,
fixed income finds himself in a
pickle. It's either buy a run down
jalopy or walk."
While the Barrier-Wimberly Pon-
tiac Company hasn't been in busi-
ness long enough to have a super-
fluity of used cars, W. W. Barrier
said that "people just haven't go-
that kind of money to spend these
days after the bite has been put on
them for taxes and increased liv-
ing costs. Most of them would like
to get '43 orz'49 models. but the go-
ing's too steep for them, so they
settle for a pre-war model. There
isn't much profit in the deal for
the dealer and there isn't much au-
tomobile in it for the buyer. But
that's the best they can do. It's a
shame and disgrace that the work-
ing man should be penalized in
this manner."

FIRST CHRISTMAS SEAL

amount for which she had hoped.
The following year, 1908, the seal
sale was nationwide and has been
ever since.
The Christmas Seal sale is con-
ducted by the 3000 voluntary asso-
ciations affiliated with the Na-
tional Tuberculosis Association, of
which the Gulf County Tuberculo-
sis and Health Association is one.
Proceeds of the sale are the sole
support of the NTA and its affili-
ates. These associations are cop-
ducting a year-round program of
education,, case finding, rehabilita-
tion and medical research directed
against tuberculosis, which kills
more people in the United States
than all other infectious diseases
combined.
Generous support of the 1950 seal
sale, which opened in Gulf county
on November 20 and will continue
until Christmas, will enable the
Gulf county association to continue
the attack against tuberculosis next
year and will aid in bringing close
the day when tuberculosis will be
brought under complete control.
