SPECIAL TO THE STAR
WASHINGTON, D. C., A com-
plete reorganization of Florida's,
democratic party structure was ,ad-
vocated here December 7 by Con-
gressman Bob Sikes of Florida. He
said, "Floridas defection from the
democratic ranks in the Novem-
ber election was due in part to
failure of the party machinery to
function and to lack of active sup-
port by party nominees.
"A reorganization of party ma-
chinery at all levels to include
only active and loyal democrats is
now essential for the future- suc-
cess of the democratic party in
Florida," he continued. "Those who
do not feel free to support the par-
ty should in all fairness relinquish
party posts. It .is their privilege as
American citizens to vote as they
-please, but I do not believe that

Suggestion Is Offered To
Distribute Rzce Teack
Funds on Capit' Basis

A resolution' was presented to
the Board of- C :nit Commission
ers at their regular monthly meet-
ing December 2 requesting the
board to consider the redistribu-
tion of the $6,000.00 the county re-
ceives annually as revenue from
the race track fund.
The resolution was presented to
the commission by M. P. Tomlin-
son, local business man, and point-
ed out that as of now the fund is
divided equally between the two
towns of Wewahitchka and Port
St. Joe after being received by the
county. According to the resolu-
tion presented by Mr. Tomlinson,
this is an unfair practice to the
City of Port St. Joe due to the
fact that the city contains approxi-
mately five-sevenths of the popula-
tion of the entire county and con-
sequently, on a per capital basis
Port St. Joe was not receiving its

Our Country Right or Wrong

peace of mind--dad's christmas gift ---har
That old refrain, "commercializing Christ-
mas", has started again, now. that December's
here. It seems to us, however, that Grandad's
filling his youngsters' stockings with oranges
around the turn of the century, and Dad's ex-
pensive gift of a radio or an automobile to his
family this Christmas are both expressions of
the same thing the Christmas spirit, the
urge to bring festivity and happiness to those
nearest and dearest.
Under today's Christmas tree there's every-
thing from a camera to a car, from a steam iron
to a washing machine. Today's gifts represent
a mode of living infinitely higher than in the
"good old days".-a new standard made possible
by the evolution of mass production and install-
ment credit.

I've eaten more food in the, two
weeks I've been up here than I
would ordinarily eat in two months!
've. been eating at more Coody
folks' homes than I knew existed.
Of course, I knew Myrtice had
relatives, by the score, having met
up with several hundred of 'em,
more or less, but this trip has been
a revelation Coodys to the
right of me, Coodys to the left of
me uncles, aunts, cousins. bro-
thers, sisters, wives and whatnots
S. thousands of 'em, it seems
like And all of 'em had to have
us to eat! and what eats!
Anyway, the 12 pounds I put on
in Georgia I'm beginning to lose
here in Birmingham Billy
coody's wife, Evelyn, takes us
downtown about twice a day-and
when I say "downtown" I mean
downtown, for they live about five
.miles from the main shopping dis-
trict, and the traffic- horrors!


But, to get back to the "commercializing"
business. We have been to church and Sunday
School many times in our life and we believe
in its principles and the doctrines taught there
or we wouldn't go. Where this commercializing
of Christmas idea came from, we don't know.
We do believe this however. The Bible teaches
that we should love our neighbor and do by him
as we would have him do by us. At Christmas
time the greatest gift to man was given by our
God, namely his only begotten son. The gift was
given because God loved man.- We think that
no one will argue that point. Comes the Christ-
mas season and this point is brought forcibly
home to both believers and unbelievers. We
don't believe there is hardly a person in the
United States that doesn't know what Christ-
mas means. They know it means more than
just the time of the year when friends exchange
gifts.
We hope you noticed that last sentence. It
is a time that friends exchange gifts. What bet-
ter expression of friendship or love can us mor-
tals offer than a gift? God gave us a gift on this
occasion, a gift that none of us could ever hope
to give to someone we loved.
Sure, the merchants advertise a multitude
of gifts at this season, but we call this good busi-
ness on their part.
We feel that no matter how much you
shop or plan gift lists or plan parties and other
things for the Christmas season, the thought
will -still be in our'minds that this is the time of
the year that Jesus Christ was born in a manger
in Bethlehem some 2,000 and more years ago.
We don't believe anyone will ever forget this
as long as there is life on earth. What better ad-
vertising of the fact could a person want than
the fuss that is made over this season of the year.
We'll not forget, anyhow, and urge you to
remember and teach your children, too. Exchange
gifts, but remember the spirit of the season.


S. We came through Birming-
ham at a very sedate 30 to 35
miles per hour and thought we
were being exceedingly daring,
even though traffic whizzed by us
on both sides at times How-
ever, Evelyn (and we never did
trust a woman driver too much)
whoops down the foui-lane avenue
a.t 50 to 55. zigs and zags from
lane to lane, sneaks up to within
.three feet of the car in front at
a traffic light before she puts on
the brakes, and does other things
that continually keep us shoving
out the floor boards and,
folks, that's keeping down my
weight.

We've seen our first television-
and we like it! Just sit here
and have the news of the world-
sometimes as it happens at the mo-
ment-dropped right in our lap .
Of course, 'Myrtice is also tickled
to death with it, since she can 'see
and hear most of her soap operas
she's been keeping up with the past
three or four years. .... Funny
thing. when listening to the radio,
I used to turn off the commercials.
Now I sit and enjoy the darn
things. Animated and live subjects
make 'em interesting Can't
see any reason to get out of the
apartment, what with two charm-
ing women to tend to all my wants
and a television set to bring in the
outside world So, folks, if you

ETAOIN SHRDLU
by WESLEY R. RAMSEY

SWe have started keeping' with
the columns of our brothers in the
trade throughout the state and
have run across some sure enough
characters. For instance, Joe Mal-
pis down in Wakulla County, at
the metropolis of Crawfordville.
Now that fella is a sure enough
died-in-the-wool sport. The other
week he came out with his paper
only numbering four pages and on
one of the pages was a big four
column ad (lacking just a couple
of inches) and right in the middle
of this space in regular reading
matter type was a little paragraph,
"this space reserved for the news
that we would have put in here if
we hadn't gone goose hunting" or
words to that effect. That editorial
column of his is something though.
All down the column, the reader
will find such gems as "With the
present rapid advancement of me-
dical knowledge it is getting so
that a gu.y hopes that he never
catches a common cold-he wants
to catch something like 'pneumonia
or something that there is a known
cure for. Maybe one of these days
some garage mechanic or sawmill
operator will stumble on a cure for
a cold, We. hope." and "Life may
or not 'begin at Forty, but certainly
cold feet begins to bother a guy at
thattime--particularly if said cold
fee 1re not his own.

You know, this mail situation is
getting rough. We have to go to
the post office every time the mail
is put up or there won't be any
space left in the box to put any-
thing else. And, the sad part of it
is 99.44% of it isn't worth the ef-
fort it takes to carry it back t6
the shop. But, we gotta carry it
away from the public buildings be-
fore we dump it, so we just use it
to build the fire with in the morn-
ing.- We've -been here for nearly
four weeks now, and we haven't
had to use an old decrepit issue of


The Star yet to build a fire. The
other day we went through the
mail just out of curiosity, and
found two checks, 15 hot news re-
leases from some state department
or other about what this fella did
at dinner the other night or where
that fella went to shop groceries
and about the other fella being
appointed secretary of some manu-
facturing firm apd then a long speil
about the, wonderful product said


company produces and how every
home should have one and how
long it would last. Mind you, only
one teensy-weensy sentence about
this guy being appointed to their
outfit.
Oh well, so it goes, or so we have
been told.

These firemen really have some-
thing on that firetruck now. The

:As a major part of the ride im-
-.irovement program, Ford engin-
eers utilized new front suspension
Tsubber compression bumpers and
l-~ew support plates designed to
2ernmit greater up-and-down move- 'th
:'nent of front wheels and to give
_softer limiting action to the front -o
--sanspession when the springs are wD whe
'-compressed sufficiently (on rough 0
-ouds) to put .the bumpers into *
P.blay. These bumpers are small,
i-Yaie-shaped rubber pucks or stops
which :act as bumpers between ;-
each .front wheel control arm and
-lie ch:.sis frame.
F:;r.- se of the incr'ea d n- II
S:;nd-down imove!mein of the fr,'It
suspension over rough roads, a .
great deal of the road-shock is ab-
.sorbed in the suspension and not i
-carried oli through the frame into
ihe car. Ford engineers also have
--evalved the viscous control front
-shock absorbers to give a softer,
-controlled action. And the viscous
A-ontrol diagonally mounted rear
shoack-absorbers also were revalved
for the same reason.
As a :result of the new suspen-
--sion, :the 1953 Ford has a com-
;letely mnew "ride" which levels.
-,a- T-ough roads with a gliding
movement. An example of this new
'ride" was demonstrated by en- Th
.gineers at the Ford test track
where two cars, comparably load- th
-.ed, were driven at identical speeds *
'-a: 40 miles an hour over the same
au.mp. Sensitive electronic instru- *
mrents recorded that the road shock
in the 1953 Ford had been reduced *-
:fromn 1500 to 300 pounds.
As part of its new "miracle ride"
'ihe 1953 Ford has redesigned rear
-springs, which assure closer pro-
Aduction maintenance of desired
.flexibility. This provides better
-overall :ride balance. And new, one-
piece woven fabric spring inserts
provide larger damping surface
:-a..a a 200 percent increase in in-
-.ert life.
.As in the front suspension, the
-ear shock absorbers have been
iwecalibrated and the life of attach-
.ing parts increased to provide a
more shock-free, better balanced
-and smoother ride.
Another advantage of the new
suspension is the safety factor
provided by the frame protection
'given on rough roads. Frames for
Mainline and Customline sedans
:-:and coupes are of the K-bar type
with :i-ve rugged cross members
.attached to box-section side rails
l-orming a ladder-type frame. The
-K-'bar" is formed by the third
ejross member and two diagonal

Sunliner, Victoria and station
'wag'o models have frames rein-
.'eoreed to provide additional
--stength and rigidity. (Adv.)

would be required to report the
quantities of frozen fish they have
in storage as soon as the season
closes. Regular reports also will
be required on stocks subsequently
removed from storage.
He warned retailers and restau-
rants not to handle mullet unless
they had invoices to prove that the
fish were legally frozen.
Vathis urges the cooperation of
all members of the industry in com-
plying with the requirements of
the closed season on this impor-
taut food fish.

Motor Vehicle Lights
Engineers and vision specialists
are experimenting with lights un-
derneath motor vehicles to reduce
night-time accidents.


The massive new grille of the 1953 Ford features a center spinner
characteristic of Ford design and a low, road-hugging look which advances
the trend in car styling Ford first introduced five years ago. Oblong parking
lights are set low to enable the streamlined center bar to wrap around the
front fenders and add to the lower, wider appearance.

way with left-over roast beef and
plenty of good vegetables. It's
practically a meal in itself, and
it takes so little timq to prepare.
Your meat pie with corn bread
topping can be served at the table
in its baking dish. As the serving
spoon breaks through the corn
bread crust, you'll love the wonder-
ful aroma that greets you, and
really welcome the good flavor
that has been sealed in by the corn
bread. There will be no cold second
helpings because the corn bread

tends to hold the heat in.

Finish Engineers Help Cut Costs
Manufacturers, faced with the
problem of cutting the cost of wiring
electronic devices, enlisted the aid
of industrial finish engineers. As a
result, a special metallic finish was
developed which is a good conductor
of electricity. This eliminates a
painstaking method of laying wires,
saves production time and cuts
costs.

The other day we were down in
Cooper's Tonsorial Parlor getting
our fuzz trimmed and as usual the
main topic of conversation was
fishing. Now this conversation
kept growing and progressing and
getting taller and taller until fin-
ally some wag came up with the
idea that if so many big fish were
being caught around here why
didre all the fishermen get toge-
ther and have a "fishing rodeo"
here every year. It was pointed out
that there were plenty of fish and
certainly .plenty of participants.
Right about here, we think, they
began to make sense. Anything we
can do along this line will -make
our city better known and act to
attract tourists to this part of the

Future Enemy Attacks
Will Make Pearl Harbor
Attack Appear Small
The shock of the Pearl Harbor
attack would be small in compari-
son with any future enemy assault
which might be launched against
military installations and indus-
trial centers in the continental
United States. Like the last time,
too, regardless of where we might
be hit, the nation would be at war.
On the eleventh anniversary of
the Pearl Harbor incident, State
Civil Defense Director Col. R. G.
How i e reminded residents of
Florida that our state and nation
is vulnerable to direct attack for
the first time in history.
"Throughout Florida, police and
fire reserves and various mobile
teams are being organized, which
will form the basic core of the
Civil Defense organization," he
said. "But following any large
scale disaster, with only limited
manpower available much would
depend on what action is taken by
individual citizens."
Col. Howie stated that even those
living in small communities re-
mote from an industrial or mili-
tary target should set aside at
least five days' emergency food

supply and make sure that mem-
bers of the family .do not use the
telephone or a disaster. Every
family should have at least one
person trained in first aid or home
nursing.
"We dislike thinking about war
in this age of the atom and hydro-
gen bombs," he said "but giving
Civil Defense some advance thot
might be a decisive deterrent to
any future Pearl Harbor."

Half of Teen Age

Auto Accidents

Fault of Students

The State Patrol said Tuesday
that almost half of all accidents
among teen age drivers in 1951 in-
volved students, and that the ma-
jor types of accidents were crashes
with other Autos and running off
the highway.
A special study just completed
by the Records Section, shows that
827 teen age students had' wrecks
in the country, and 912 were in-
volved in accidents in towns and
cities.
Collisions with othel- vehicles
as a cause of accidents, showed a
55% increase both in rural and ur-


I


ban areas last year, while wrecks
at rural intersections showed a
68% upward trend.
The patrol explained that in-
creased reporting of accident ac-
tivities of teen age drivers had a
lot to do with the upward trend in
final figures.
The months of July, August, and
December continued to be the ones
in which the youthful drivers had
the most accidents. The state total
for the year was 3,592 accidents,
with 1,739 involving teen age dri-
vers.
In all accidents in which teen
age drivers were involved, the
death toll was 76, while the state's
total lives lost was 752 for the
year.
The age of 18 seemed to be the
dangerous age for young drivers.
There were .988 accidents which


Involved 18 year olds.
There are two bright sides to
the teen age accident picture; the
speed at which the youths operate
their vehicles and the lack of
wrecks which involved tipsy driv-
ers.
Only 273, of all accidents in
which the teen agers figured, were
at speed from 50-70 miles per hour
and over, while only 31, of all dri-
vers, had been drinking and were
classified as "obviously drunk."

color that seems exactly.right on the
color card or on a brushed-out sam-
ple will seem much darker when it
is used on a large area and when
it is reflected by three other wall
surfaces.

HUDSON


-with an all-time record in sto&-car contests for performance, safety and durability



sets the style for 1953


HUDSON HORNET


avd osp e& mk HUDSON WASP


HERE IT IS, the fabulous Hudson Hornet
for 1953-luxurious new version of the
car that won 44 out of 52 stock-car races in
1952, a record unequalled by any other make.
See the Hudson Hornet's interior color har-
mony in your choice of two ensembles to
complement exterior car colors. See and try
new foam rubber seat cushions with bolstered
and rolled-edge contours for more comfort.
See the rich nylon interior fabrics.


And try the 1953 Hudsons on the highway!
Feel them lug the road: the result of exclu-
sive "step-down" design and the lowest
center of gravity in any American car!
For 1953-there are two great, lower-priced
running mates to the Hudson Hornet-the
new Hudson Super Wasp and Hudson Wasp.
The Super Wasp has a high-compression
H-127 engine and smart new interiors; and
the even lower-priced Hudson Wasp features
a powerful H-112 engine.


Sensational engine development!


NEW! TWIN H-POWER
A new system of multiple fueling
that develops more energy from
every drop of gas. And because
Hudson engines are so rugged,
this power plus can be harnessed
for you.
*Optional on the Hudson Hornet
and Super Wasp at extra cost.
