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 Sharks Meet B'Tswn In Season Opener The Port St. Joe Basketball Sharks will meet Blountstown at the Centennial Auditorium for the season's cage opener on Tuesday night.

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 Resolution Presented To Commissioners Advocating Movement of County Seat and Courthouse To Port St. Joe From Wewahitchka One of three resolutions introduced- to -the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting on December 2 by M.

Fruit Cake Recipe Christmas time is near and that means special holiday meals. Be- low is a Japaniese fruit cake re- cipe sent to us by Ruth Milton, 'Home Demonstration Agent for Gulf county.

Japanese Fruit Cake Batter Ingredients 1 cup butter,, 4 eggs, unseparated, 3 cups cake flour, 1 cup sweet milk, 2 tablespoons baking pow- der, 2 cups sugar. Cream butter until soft and smooth. Add sugar gradually, beat- ing into butter until fluffy. Whip eggs until thick, then mix into su- gar:butter creamy batter. Add flour and milk and stir until smooth.

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. STARDUST and MOONSHINE By Col. W. S. Smith, Retired. Mayor of Byckhorn We're now in Birmingham, Ala- t am.i' after cutting a swath thru central Georgia like a swarm of locusts-that is, a one man, one- woman swarm Actually, folks, 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 "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" 0 - :- Q - don't hear much from me about the beauties and sights of Birming- ham. don't be disappointed Oh. yes, I liked the drive over the so- called mountains into this iron city, as it reminded me of my thousands of miles of mountain driving in California and those WERE mountains out west! -------]---. 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.

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.)

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.

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 Gulf.

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."

HOLLAND Kenney's Mill _ 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." -----k-t-- Keep It Light When you're choosing or tinting a color with which to paint your walls, be sure to select a lighter hue than the finished effect you desire.
