PORT ST. JOE A Progressive Community With a Modern, Progressive Weekly Newspaper THE STAR THE STAR Is Devoted To the Con- tinued Development of Port St. Joe and Gulf County "Port St. Joe -The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" VOLUME XIV RIORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1950 NUMBER 13 Busy Santa Claus Accepts Invite To Come To St. Joe Jolly St. Nick To Stop Off for Brief Stay At Urgent Re- quest of Rotary Club Although known as quite a busy old gent at this time of year, Santa Claus has definitely accepted the urgent invitation of the Port St. Joe Rotary Club and has crowded his already top-heavy program of appointments still further by agree- ing to visit Port St. Joe tomorrow. Due to an already cramped sched- ule, the jolly old fellow from the North Pole would not reveal his method of transportation he will use to arrive here for his appoint- ment. He did say, however, that he would be here without fail. The legendary figure informs The Star that he will have enough bags of candy, fruits, nuts and toys to take care of all the children in St. Joe and surrounding communities, all of whom are invited to be pres- ent to meet him. Santa will hold court with the kiddies in the prak on Monument Avenue opposite Hotel St. Joe. He is due to arrive there at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon and he will be met by a delegation of Rotarians who will assist him in the distribu- tion of gifts. The arrival of Santa will be an- nounced by several long blasts on the fire siren, so don't get excited and think a conflagration is under- way when you hear the siren to- morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. Legionnaires Go To Apalachicola Tonight To Greet Commander A considerable number of mem- bers of the local American Legion post and members of the Auxiliary are planning to go to Apalachicola tonight to greet the national com- mander, Earle Cocke, Jr. who will pay a visit to the Apalachicola post. State Legion officials expected to be present are Reid Mann of Talla- hassee, state adjutant; Joe Adams of Miami, national vice-commander, and Don Carol of Jacksonville, state commander. The Apalachicola post is enter- taining with one of their famous seafood dinners, and those planning to attend the affair are urged not to eat dinner, else they will be un- able to do justice to the repast to be provided by their hosts. All ex-service men, regardless of whether they belong to the Legion, are extended an invitation to at- tend the meeting. Those who do not have transportation are asked to be at the Legion building at 6 p. m. and cars will be provided. Home From School for Holidays Gene Chism, a student at Marion Institute, Marion, Ala., arrived here Tuesday to spend the holiday vaca- tion with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Rush Chism.

Price 'Cutback' On Autos Is Affecting Local Distributors Chevrolets and Pontiacs Are To Be Held Until Debate With Government Ends Charlie Garraway, local Chevro- let and Olldsmobile distributor, and W. W. Barrier and George Wim- berly, Pontiac distributors, are all in a dither over telegrams they re- ceived Monday informing them that all cars received after last Sunday will remain the property of General Motors and cannot be sold until further notice. This is a step taken by the Gen- eral Motors Corporation in its op- position to a government price roll- back order setting prices on cars as they were on December 1. Garraway, who received two new cars and two trucks a day before the deadline (he says trucks are not affected), states that he be- lieves it will be but a short time before some sort of agreement is reached by the manufacturers and' the government. Barrier informs us that he got in three cars Sunday, one for himself, one for Wimberly and one for sale, but that if the GM order holds for any length of time he'll have to go into the breadline or apply for un- employment compensation. Text of the telegram received by the two distributors-follows: "Pending an examination of the discriminatory order of the eco- nomic stabilization agency affecting passenger car prices, including the.

C. Forehand, vice-grand; den chief and all the little Cubs The Girl Scout troop and leaders were honor guests. The church was lovely with its artistic Yule and Cub Scout decorations, most of the decorations having been made by the Cubs themselves, even to the beautiful candle centerpieces that were beautifully wrapped and pre- sented to their mothers as special Christmas gifts. The girls and their leaders, Mesdames Alonzo Knight, E. M. Williams, Kathryn Brown and Lillie House, were presented with ribbon lapel pins in the Cub Scout colors of blue and yellow. Fa- vors of miniature horns filled with Christmas candy were also given them. Their pews were tied with garlands and bows of crepe paper ribbons in blue and yellow. The program began with the Lord's Prayer by the Cubs, who also sang two Cub Scout songs. This was fol- lowed with a Christmas poem by Mrs. W. C. Forehand in childish dialect, which was received with much applause. A beautiful and in- spiring Christmas story about a boy by Mrs. W. H. Weeks, illus- trated with colorful pictures, por- trayed the trend of thought inter- estingly and vividly to all. The Girl Scouts sang Christmas carols, ac- ccmpanied at the piano by Mrs. Kathryn Brown. W. C. Forehand gave a brief and encouraging talk to the Cubs and their leaders. After an exchange of gifts and candy, delicious cookies made in the shape of the Cub Scout emblem, and cold drinks were served to the 47 guests present. Mrs. Stevens concluded the pro- gram with a special word of thanks to W. H. Weeks, the parents and friends who contributed so gener- ously toward making the party such an enjoyable and merry event for the scouts and their guests.

Pridgeon was hostess Tuesday night to members of the J. A. M. Club in her home on Monu- ment Avenue. A gaily lighted tree greeted the guests, and a lovely na- tivity scene graced the mantel in the living room, spreading Christ- mas cheer.

The spoken word is given scant attention; the printed word is thoughtfully weighed. The spoken word barely asserts; the printed word thoroughly convinces. The spokes word is lost; the printed word remains. Our Country Right or Wrong WHO IS "SACRIFICING" WHAT? One of the most overworked words in the cur- rent American lexicon is "sacrifice." Practically everyone in a high position in the government has felt it necessary to stress the need for sacrifices on the part of the people, in cluding President Truman, who recently said: "The farmer, the wage earner and the business- man must each be satisfied to work more for the good of all and to make a little less for himself. In return, your government will do its utmost to see that the necessary sacrifices are equally shared and that the common effort brings the maximum return in world strength for the cause of freedom." Those are splendid words. But the fact remains that many men in the government seem to have a warped idea of what sharing sacrifices involves. A relative few are really making sacrifices now. Those who fought in Korea have sacrificed. Those who died there made the ultimate sacri- fice.

Sometimes a touch of humor will bring home a serious truth. That is true of a hotel sign in Salisbury, Md., which says: "If you must smoke in bed while here, please notify the office so we will know where to ship your remains. Business is good here, but we do not have guests to burn." It is an ironical fact that smoking in bed is a major cause of death by fire-to say nothing of the great property loss that also results from it- and that it is also one of the least excusable and unintelligent things we can do. The smoker dozes off, the lighted cigaret drops onto flammable sheets and blankets-and the next step is the morgue. Many of the most destructive fires stem from such simple causes. A minimum of thought will prevent them, and a minimum of care will ban- ish the danger. The main goal of fire prevention lies in public education-for it is the human fac- tor that keeps our fire waste at such terrible levels. Theodore Roosevelt once said: "The only de- pendable fortune teller is the life insurance sales- man. He tells you what is going to happen-and. it does!" Looks like we'll have to call in a juggler to balance the national budget. There is only one type of man who is smarter than a woman a bachelor.

OGL ONYFOIAFIA, EEBR2,1 Abbreviation, Xmas Of Greek Origin There has been much unfavorable comment on the abbreviated form for Christmas that is commonly used. Many think it inappropriate and undignified to use the shortened form, Xmas. The explanation of its origin is that the initial letter of the Greek name for Christ is X and the coin- cidence of its cruiciform shape led to an early adoption of this letter as the figure and symbol of Christ. X is frequently found on walls of the catacombs. When the early Chris- tians wished to make a representa- tion of the Trinity, they would place either a cross or an X beside the names of the Father and the Holy Ghost. From this came the short- ened form Xmas, instead of Christ- mas. A patent for an invention gives the inventor or his heirs exclusive rights to it for 17 years.
