Cocke, who spoke before Legion- naires from posts in Wewahitchka, Port St. Joe, Carrabelle and Ap- Slachicola, deplored the lack of mil- itary preparedness by this country at a time when it faces possible Communist aggression at many dif- ferent points of the globe. He partly blamed "bungling in Washington" for the loss of China as an ally and for America's not being better prepared to meet the Communist challenge. A plea for a strong civilian de- fense setup was also made by the commander. Besides building a strong military establishment, he said this country faces a tremen- dous task in building a strong civil defense system at a time when the potential enemy may be able to di- rectly attack American cities. Cocke spoke first, though, of a spiritual revival that is needed in this country. More and more, he said, our leaders are referring to this-to the need of the people to look to the Supreme Being as our Commander, "something that all too many of us have neglected in the (Continued on page 5) Have Holiday Guests Mr. and Mrs. W.

Judge Lewis, who was introduced by Mickey Stone, program chair- man, chose for his topic "Entangl- ing Alliances, America's 'Gravest Throat," pointing out that among the great crises of our history, Am- erica and free democracy never faced a more critical test of chance for survival than today. "I am confident that we will meet and overcome this threat to our existence," said Judge Lewis. Quot- ing from an address by Thomas Jefferson, whom he described as a statesman, not a politician, who looked to the future America in- stead of to those who would decide the next election, he especially em- phasized the words, "Peace and commerce with all peoples, and en- tangling alliances with none." "When the United Nation charter was drawn up, we believed that its purpose and principles were in- tended to protect the rights and well-being of all peoples and to fos- ter international co-operation of all peoples," said the jurist, who then read pertinent excerpts from the charter. * "If.all the purposes and aims of the 'World Federalists' are adopted and certain articles of the U. N. charter are adhered to, America stands a very good chance of losing the very privileges, liberties and (Continued on page 8) Wheel Chair Makes Read Christmas for Young Girl Presented By Tyndall Non-Commis- sioned Officers' Club; Appeal Being Made for Funds Miss Dorothy Pate, 19, of this city, who has been paralyzed for the past seven years from an at- tack of infantile paralysis, is really a happy young lady today, for she was the recipient of a wheel chair presented by the non-commissioned officers' club of Tyndall Field. The presentation was made by T/Sgt, W. C. Wilson of this city, T/Sgt. Richard Black and M/Sgt. Sterling A. Wyatt on behalf of the club. Miss Pate's ambition is to finish school and become a telephone ex- change operator, but she has been too handicapped to get around. Her need was brought to the attention of the non-commissioned officers' club by T/Sgt. Wilson and funds to purchase the chair were raised by voluntary contributions from mem- bers of the club and their families. Dorothy is scheduled to go to the crippled children's home at Pensa- cola on January 9 for aa operation which will cost her nothing, but- she has no means of transporta- tion and no funds for bus fare. The Star is making an appeal to the public for contributions to send Dorothy and her mother to Pensa- cola and is starting the fund off with $5. Anyone desiring to help in this worthy cause may do so by sending or bringing their contribu- tion to The Star-anything from a penny on up. Won't you help, folks?

THE JOYS OF THE 1EW YEAR BE WITH : YOU ALWAYS. -All" COMFORTER r FUNERAL HOME HIGHLAND VIEW NEWS By MRS. CARL STEVENS Yule Program At Church The Bayview Methodist Church last week again was the scene of an outstanding community party. The church, resplendent in the hol- day motif, impressed the yule spirit deeply upon those present. The program was opened by the congregation repeating the Lord's Prayer, led by Mrs. W. H. Weeks, followed by a Christmas carol. Two recitations, well done by Gale and Valerie Roberts, was followed by the "Angel Choir" composed of the primary Sunday school class of Mrs. Carl Stevens, led by Miss Janice Seawright, all of them gowned in white robes and holding lighted ta- pers in their hands. They sang "Sil- ent Night," accompanied at the piano by Mrs. Kathryn Brown. Mrs. W. C. Forehand, directing a play, "Once Upon a Christmas Time," had the part of mother and related the Christmas Story to her children, Pan and Peter, played by Barbara Ann Williams and Lewis Rogers. Taking part were Martha Ray, Marjorie Rbogers, Billy Cum- bie, Ralph Watts, Kathryn Zorn, Joe Richards, Merle Seawright, W. C. Forehand, Jimmy Stevens, Betty Zorn and Mrs. Carl Stevens. Carols were sung at intervals by the congregation, and the merriest part of the occasion was the en- trance of the "man of the hour," Santa Claus, with his pack contain- ing sacks of candy, nuts and fruit for each of the almost one hundred guests present. He also assisted in distributing the beautifully-wrapped gifts from the lighted tree. This Christmas event is spon- sored every year by the Methodist Church under the direction of Mrs. Forehand and her co-workers, and through their diligent efforts is growing more popular each year. Rev. L. .W. Tubb of Port St. Joe I was a special guest and was given a "pounding" by the church mem- bers in gratitude of his service and devotion for the past year.. He closed the party with prayer and a brief thanks to all. _ AND THANKS FOR PAST FAVORS. GULF HARDWARE & SUPPLY COMPANY GULF HARDWARE & SUPPLY COMPANY The Only. Way. to get anywhere is to start.

I COSTIN'S DEPARTMENT STORE COCKE SAYS (Continued from page 1) busy and somewhat fruitless years just past." Cocke, a powerful speaker, has a remarkable World War II combat record. He fought as an infantry battalion commander under Major General McAuliffe, who said "nuts" to the Nazis at Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge. General Mc- Auliffe has described Cocke as "the best individual soldier I saw during the war." Commander Cocke's combat ex- perience in Europe was filled with high drama. During his spectacular battlefield exploits with the 103rd Division, he was stabbed by a Ges- tapo agent, shot by a woman sniper, hit in the head by a stray bullet and captured by the Nazis three times. The first two times he es- caped, and on his second escape he led 17 other prisoners in a behind- the-lines raid which netted 592 Ger- man prisoners. The Germans caught him again and decided to put an end to his ac- tivities. A firing squad riddled him with machine gun bullets; a Prus- sian officer administered a coup- de-grace with a pistol shot in the back, and Cocke was left for dead. But he refused to die. Hours later, when ths French villagers returned from hiding to bury the dead, they found Cocke still alive. They hid him for 4S hours, and when Ameri- can forces reached the area he was sent to a hospital. During the next 14 months he was in 27 hospitals and underwent 14 major operations. Today he has recovered all his former vigor. He credits his sur- vival in combat to military training he received prior to going over- seas, and for that reason is advocat- ing compulsory military .training for the youth of our country today. One of the famous Apalachicola seafood dinners preceded the talk by Commander Cocke. *e a a aa a a aa a Quality Grocery and Market a .......,a aa ... .

Before us lie 365 unsullied days to do with what we will. All that the last will and testament of old Father Time contained was the legacy of hours, minutes, days, weeks and months. Precious gifts, those, if we are not afraid to use them to the best advantage. What became of those 365 days you had Which are just ending 1950? What did you do with them? Did you use them so that you converted the time into something permanent, or did you let them slip by without processing them at all and thus let them flow away into oblivion and become nothing? Many of us have been so engrossed in the tasks impelled upon us by the economic neces- sity of earning a livelihood that we have drifted a bit in our thinking and lost sight of the endur- ing aims of human existence. It might pay us to revalue the opportunities of life and begin a more orderly existence that depends upon fundamental and enduring activ- ity rather than upon finances that another de- pression may wipe off the books. It might pay some of the families in Port St. Joe to reassess human contributions to general welfare and to strive to take some part in a program that could improve social conditions now, rather than here- after. Sunday midnight, 1951 will be here-unfortun- ately, it will not be with us any longer than was 1950. If you would have it a Happy New Year, then use each moment of it as if it were the purest metal, given to you to be wrought into a fine work to be put on display in a museum, to TEN YEARS AGO From the Files of The Star First Gasoline Goes Through Line Marking another step forward in the industrial development of Port St. Joe, the first gasoline this week flowed through the Southeastern Pipeline Corporation's 98-mile line from this city to Bainbridge, Ga. To date, 88,000 barrels of gasoline have been brought in from Port Ar- thur, Texas, by tankers, 33,000 by the Pure Oil Company and 55,000 by the Gulf Oil Company, all of which has been pumped to the stor- age tanks in Bainbridge, where it will be distributed by trucks. The line will eventually be extended to Chattanooga, Tenn.

Holland is inaugurated as governor of Florida. With a score of bands, innumerable floats and a regiment of soldiers from Camp Blanding; with banquets and danc- ing, the inauguration will eclipse any similar event in the history of stand for eternity in its simplicity and beauty for the benefit of mankind forever. Build your minutes into monuments of good works for the good of others and yours will be a Happy New Year in 1951 and all the years to come, and, with this thought in mind, the editor of The Star wishes all of you happiness for 1951. THE LAND OF SUNSHINE Editor Dalton B. Brady of the Leader-Times of Brookhaven, Miss., has taken a smart aleck New York "columnist" across his knee and gave him a spanking. The columnist had the monu- mental gall to call the beautiful land of Ameri- can sunshine "The Shoeless South." Editor Brady says that former Secretary of Labor Perkins was the originator of the slanderous nickname. The Mississippi editor resents the attempt of the New York scribbler to slander the beautiful South. He says: "Business is going on as per usual. We see the frightening headlines that the mercury dropped to 32 in Florida, but are reassured that a $100,- 000,000 vegetable and fruit crop was but slightly damaged. Bejabers-we didn't know that there were $100,000,000 in all these Rebel States-ac- cording to what Life magazine tells us! "We also note that there are no power line dif- ficulties down this way, traffic has gone on un- impeded (for we are blessed with good weather, if not wealth), no floods to speak of (we leave that up to Old Man River, and we have him pretty well curbed these days), and the loss of life south of the Smith and Wesson Line is neg- ligible. "And we are also pleased to note that there is no looting of homes in any of our Southern cities, and we believe if conditions such as these men- tioned existed down here that you wouldn't find such crime present. Why, back at Vicksburg in the 1860's when the natives suffered from a siege that brought on pestilence and starvation, when many families were reduced to eating rats-what happened? Each family at least stuck to its own household share of the rats and didn't go around the neighborhood robbing the other guy's larder -just because his lights were off. But of course such conduct on our part is merely a myth else- where. Facetiously they may call that 'Southern Chivalry.' "Yes, we have much to be thankful for down here in the Deep South, much that others do not know of, much that even we do not realize, for besides a happy climate we have gentility, real friendship and understanding, and a freedom and an ease of living that aren't always prevalent elsewhere."

He also stated that a good many of these will be planted by hand, via the "dibble" hand tool method, but that he anticipates that the greater portion of them'will be planted for the farmers by the local soil conservation district's planting machine at a set rate per thousand. Laird pointed out that this size- able number of seedlings represents a nice donation by the paper com- pany, and -that with proper hand- ling, planting and protection of the trees, there will grow for Gulf county farmers a handsome profit for their efforts with the passing of but a few years. He went on to say that, since the county soils grow pines so well, extended planting should be done for added wealth. County Agent Laird said he hopes that all who plant trees this season will follow good planting methods, and that he is confident all will do so. He added that any who aren't sure of the recommended planting procedure to contact his office for furtherr directions and he will be glad to assist in getting the job done to best advantage.
