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."

ETAOIN SHRDLU
by WESLEY R. 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.

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.

Simple and sweet-that describes Fruit Topped Coffee Cake. 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. Add' to flour
margarine in bottom of greased mixture, stirring until r.iixture is
1'/-quart fluted pan. Arrange ap- smooth. 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.

Baptist WMU Circles
Meet For Their Annual
Christmas Celebration

All six circles of the Baptist
WMU met at the home of Mrs. C.
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. Nichols reading
the Christmas story from Luke 2:
1-20 after which the WMU presi-
dent, Mrs. W. J. Ferrell, led in
prayer. All joined in the singing
of Christmas carols with Mrs. L.
.. Keels, WMU pianist, at the
piano.
Each one present brought a gift
for the orphanage and also a gift
to be exchanged with a member
present.
Mrs. Costin's home was beauti-
fully decorated in Christmas colors
and decorations and featured a
Christmas- trade on the dining table
with the gifts around the base. In
the living room a large Santa Claus
was placed by the fireplace.
Mrs. J. 0. Baggett dismissed the
meeting with prayer after which
the individual circles met together
for a short business session.
After the business session the
hostess served refreshments con-
sisting of a chicken salad plate
with coffee, coca-colas and fruit

COMPENSATION PAYMENTS
RISE SHARPLY IN STATE
TALLAHASSEE, Dec. 11- Un-
employment compensation pa y-
ments in Florida rose sharply to
$109.114 during the week ending
December 5, causing an increase of
$22,000 over the previous week, ac-
cording to reports from the Flor
ida Industrial Commission. 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.

Mr. and Mrs. Donald Skipper of Here For Christmas


There's something about-a tur-
key that makes him a welcome
guest in.the house when the fami-
lIy gathers for Christmas.
He is a, regal bird alive, of
course, and he's one that loses lit-
tle grandeur when he has been
cooked a golden brown and served
astride the biggest platter in the
house. And when he is cornbread
stuffed, he's fit for even Santa
Claus.
Try it ahead of time in a Sunday
chicken if you want to be sure be-
fore preparing the holiday dinner.
You will find corn bread stuffing
:good with any kind of bird, fish or
.meat.
ROAST TURKEY WITH CORN
BREAD STUFFING
I 16-lb. turkey
2 teaspoons salt
.1 cup chopped onion


2 cups bacon fat or margarine
4% quarts broken corn bread
(or part bread)
4 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
YV teaspoon pepper
3 eggs, well beaten
Rub inside of oven-ready turkey
with the 2 teaspoons salt. Cook
onion in half of the bacon fat or
margarine until soft, but not
browned. Melt remaining fat and
add with onion to corn bread. Mix

THE STAR, PORT ST. JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA


'Yes, indeed!
"Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have
been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age-
they do not believe except what they see-they think
that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by
their little minds.
"All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or
children's, are little.
"In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect,
an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless
world about him, as measured by the intelligence
capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.
"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?
Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not

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."
