Inaugural chairman Justice El- wyn Thomas says all the ceremon- ies of the inauguration are open to ,the public and there'll be no spec- ial invitations to the January 6 activities. Even state officials, legislators, and members of the official fam- ilies of the in-coming and out-going governor won't get special invita- tions to come. There'll be seats near the. platform for officials, with room for some 15,000 people within seeing distance of the cere- monies. For the first time in State his- tory, the ceremonies are going to be held on the west side of the- capitol. This will make it possible for more people to witness the inauguration. The ceremonies will start,at 11:30 a.m. with an address by out-going ,Gov. Fuller Warren first on the program. At 12 noon the chief jus- tice of the Florida Supreme. Court, H.

'The two teams met in the Cen.- tennial Auditorium at 8:00 p.n. and fought a hard game all thei way to the finish whistle. The Sharks got off to a siow start and could never quite catcla up with the invading Blountstowns five. The score stood .practically neck and neck all through the game. The score at the half time gave Blountstown the big lead of 28 to 17 but the Sharks came back in the second half to slim the mar- gin down to a five point lead by- the end of the game.

The time is from 11:30 to 12:30, Following the par- ties school will adjourn for the Christmas holidays. Instead of the customary ex- change of gifts among the students, most classes will bring a toy for a small child to be distributed among the needy children for Christmas. Most of the clubs and organizations are gathering food also. Christmas Decoration The students are in the yuletide spirit, with the school gaily dec- orated in Christmas scenes. The 'Senior class has a pink Christmas. tree and several beautiful arrange- ments. The Junior class has a very outstanding bulletin board, using red as the basic color. The red forms letters of Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. The center is a Santa Claus face. Little red and white canes form the border. Mr. Dandridge's section of the Tenth grade -has very unique dec- orations. 'The customary Merry Christmas and Happy New Year were written in Spanish set off by gay scenes on the board. The Home Economics department cen- ters around the manger scene in the middle of cabinet. Miss McDon- ald's section of the eighth grade's main theme is "What Does.Christ- mas Mean To You?" The theme is carried out by a very interesting bulletin board. Miss Brown's room has large letters of rea and green. "Merry Christmas" to set off the rest of their gay decoration. Miss Austin's Eighth grade section is decorated chiefly in Christmas cards with a very pretty door and window display. Both sections of the Seventh grade have very pret- ty trees and door decoi'iti',n-n. The i library has a very inspirational bulletin board on the "Birth of Christ".

Our Country Right or Wrong Valuable Handle With Care Let's wrap up Christmas safely this year and end the joyous holiday season with fewer bro- Jken homes. .The holiday season is significant of life. Yet every yuletide hundreds of lives are snuffed out or ruined by careless accidents. Mpst of the deaths and injuries are in traffic mishaps. The National Safety Council has found that the daily traffic death toll during the Christmas holiday season is slightly more than twice the annual daily average. Family gather- ings and other festivities of the year-end holiday season bring the peak travel of the winter-and when inore cars are on the move there is more chance of an accident. Early darkness plus bad weather add up to poor visibility. Fogged windshields also make it difficult to see and avoid accident situations. Rain, snow and ice mean slippery streets and highways, but thousands of holiday drivers fail to adjust their speed to hazardous conditions. The good fellowship of. the .season stimulates more_..drinking-Land too often the celebrants clink glasses with death. An accident can be tragic at any time, but at Christmas it is doubly so. And yet the Christ- mas season is ruined in thousands of homes every year by suffering and tragedy from acci- dents that need, never have happened. Many, a Christmas tree and gaily wrapped gift have become mocking reminders of someone not there to enjoy them. The traditional spirit of Christmas is "Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men". A little extra cau- tion, courtesy and common sense can keep this spirit alive and help reduce holiday accidents. Remember that your life is the most valuable present you can give your family or friends. 1Handle it with care. Don't lose it in the holiday rush. Don't let death take your holiday! Should We Move The Courthouse? Possibly at one time or another, every resident of Port.St. Joe has wondered why our city isn't the county seat of Gulf county. Perhaps some have even gone so far as to wonder why the county seat hasn't been moved here. Apparently some have been doing more than just "wonder- ing". They have been taking steps to move it here. Of course the reason the county seat was originally designated for Wewahitchka is for the same reason that this group of citizens now want it moved here, namely, the bulk of the county's population lived either in or in the vicinity of Wewahitchka, so the county seat was naturally set up in Wewahitchka. Now the tide has turned and the bulk of the county's popula- tion live either in or around Port St. Joe and the county seat nornnlly should be in Port St. Joe where most of the business in the county is carried on. But, there are several factors to consider in this instance. Number one is the burden to the county that the cost of the move will be. Accord- ing to reliable information, it will cost the tax- payers (mind you we're not saying county, but taxpayers) approximately, one-half million dol- lars. That's a lot of money even in the present days of talking in hundreds of billions every day. In our book this is the main drawback. Then, there is the fact that the removal of the courthouse from Wewahitchka will definitely have an effect the economy of that city as the courthouse and county seat provide a definite revenue for the businesses of Wewahitchka; a revenue that they need. If the courthouse it moved it will lower their income and probably will reduce the revenue of the county in the way of taxes from that community. These are a few of the facts that concern this important matter arid we sincerely hope that you, as residents of Gulf county will seriously consider these and other facts and arguments that will come up both for and against the move. Weigh them all with an open mind. Consider the .cost and the ease or difficulty -that the county must go through to pay for this project. In the future YOU will be asked to vote on this mat- ter. It is up to you to pay the taxes that are to pay for this project. If you think that this is a wise expenditure of the county's money let it be known by voting "yes" if not, then vote "no". It will be some time yet before a referendum is called on the matter but start NOW to weighing the possibilities and the costs and let the will of the people be known, when the time comes. "A sure sign that inflation is over will be when auto makers start mentioning the price of their cars in their advertising. Benjamin J. Fair- less, president of .the United States Steel Cor- poration, has even.a better idea. He would not only reveal the price of the car he would reveal all the hidden taxes buried in that price. The tax on a $2,000 automobile, for instance, is $625, but the buyer does not know this." -Ocean Grove, N.

RAMSEY Well, only one more week of this mad holiday pace. Reackon we can hold out? Somehow, this year the Christmas season seems to be more Christmassy than any such season has been since the war. Maybe it's just our imagination, but it seems to us that the hustle and bustle has been more hustler and hustler than in years gone by. Ex-Editor Bill came by to see us the other day and said he would have no "Stardust" column this week as he was, going to just sit out in the Florida sunshine up at his hacienda on the lake shore and enjoy some of that "warm Florida sunshine" and "thaw out" from his Alabama and Georgia trip. And snow falling as near here as White City Tuesday. We got an important bulletin from the State Department that is considered top-drawer in impor- tance. It states that in the county of Gulf during the month of Oc- tober that there were 155,993 gal- lons of gasoline and 41.224 gallons of kerosene sold in the county for the month. Just a bit of interesting information we thought we'd pass on in case you're keeping a scrap- book on such vital information. Such is our wastebasket filled with twice daily. We, know that it is uncommon for this newspaper to agree with Harry but we are going to this week. When he exploded at the news that Eisenhower and MacAr- thur were getting together to stop the Korean war we think he ex- pressed the sentiments of the na- tion. However, MacArthur should know something about fighting the reds. They gave him enough prac- tice as a result of his blunder in North Korea about two years ago. We do say hooray for Ike for re- verting to his old self again now that the campaign is over. We had ticed last Friday morning, when we took The Star to the post of- fice that the crew was at work a half hour early. And still. it was two weeks before Christmas. Wonder what it will be like this week? Have you mailed your pack- ages early or are you waiting-until the 24th? We are now glad we are a fire- man. The other night we were treated to a steak supper, as were the other firemen, and a free mo- vie. The steak was tender too. We brought a turkey from Geor- gia with us and took it over to Rich's Super Market to be cleaned. The other day Rich called us up and asked us when we wanted to eat it. We told him it was for Christmas and he asked permission to keep it alive for a few days. It seems he has it in a pen beside his store and has taken a dozen orders for Christmas turkeys on started a hearty dislike for the the strength and advertisement of man the way he was going along that turkey being there and gob-' with (as'one scribe put it) "Onion- bling all day long. We guess we head" Taft during the campaign. will have to charge for that ad-. We think Ike will at least get vertising by the pound instead of what he thinks to be right done, whether he is right or wrong. Let's hope he's right at least 75 percent of the time. One fella said in one of our exchanges last .week that he was ready for a change. He had al- ready had enough Republican government. We imagine a lot of died-in-the-wool Democrats are harboring the same sentiments. Some people in Port St. Joe are wondering if it's safe to go to We- wahitchka now with the push in progress to move the Courthouse to Port St. Joe. We imagine it's all right if you remove all traces of identification before you go. 'This Christmas rush is making our local post office step. We no- by the column inch. Our little girl. said the other day that she can go back to being mean now, because she saw old Santa at a Christmas party and received the usual small toy. Anyway she ex- pressed the opinion that it wasn't worth the effort it took. --_----f----- Why Water "Holds" Curls. Why Coes water, put op the hair when setting it, make it curl more than when'it is put up dry? Hair is something like a plastic material, and it will take up moisture. The water enters into a chemical com- bination with the material of which the hair is made, and links together neighboring long molecules of which the hair is made. Thus, when mois- ture is present, it may hold the curl in position. CHRISTMAS CLUB 1953 N OW FORMING Our Christmas Club for 1953 is now open.

It's made from a quick coffee cake batter and topped with sweetened prunes and apricots. Bake shops have a wonderful selection of attractively shaped coffee cakes. These good-tasting breads are handy and nourishing to have on hand for snacks and breakfast. If you're baking your own coffee cake, make it look extra appeal- ing by using a different baking pan. The recipe for this quick coffee cake is just right for an 8-in.ch square pan or 9-inch round pan. Try a fluted pan if you have one, of the shape pictured here. Or use a tube pan. This Fruit Coffee Cake is easy to make-so mix it up often and vary it by using different toppings. Merely combine the dry ingredients, then the liquid ingredients. Mix the two, stirring just until smooth. Use dried apples or dried peaches instead of the prunes and apricots. Or try canned and drained cherries, blueberries or pineapple tidbits. Fruit Coffee Cake is good for the breakfast menu because it offers body-building protein. Use "enriched flour" in your baking for added B-vitamins and food iron. FRUIT TOPPED COFFEE CAKE 5 tablespoons sugar 2 teaspoons baking po Jsr 2 tablespoons melted butter or /z teaspoon salt margarine V cup sugar 6 cooked, dried apricot halves I egg, beaten 6 cooked, dried prune halves V1 cup milk I V cups sifted enriched flour 3 tablespoons melted shortening Sprinkle sugar over butter or milk and shortening.

Pour into prepared pan ricot and prune halves alternately and bake in moderately hot oven around bottom of pan. Sift to- (400F.) about 35 minutes. ~th~-~ t~8~--2~ THE STAR, PORT ST.

G. Costin Monday afternoon for their annual Christmas party. There were 47 members and one visitor present for the occasion. The party festivities were opened with Mrs. W. O.

Recip- ients numbered 5,292. However, the increase in pay- ments does.not indicate any great amount of unemployment over the state, but is probably due to the Thanksgiving Holiday. Claiments usually filing for benefits on Thursday had to report in on Fri- day, and therefore" claims that would have normally been proces- sed that week were carried over into the first week in December, causing the increase for that week. In this county there were no workers, unemployed through no fault of their own. METHODISTS TO OBSERVE "WHITE CHRISTMAS" SUN. The.Methodist Church is observ- ing.

"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?

Wages 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 Clasr. 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. 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 foreva--a thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood."
