tion, the Port St. Joe Rotary Club

ed for the enjoyment of all ages.

band will present its first outdoor

a band for public appearances this
year as he felt that they could not
produce music enjoyable to listen
to or that would be a credit to the
band. He now feels that they are
ready and will.present several
pieces at the Christmas party.
It is hoped by the Rotary Club
to secure the services of several
choral groups to furnish Christmas
carols at the gathering.

The home and furniture of J. H.
Lee of Highland View ,vere totally
destroyed by a freak explosion last
Saturday about 12:30 p.m.
A Southern Liquid Gas Co., truck
was unloading bulk gas into an
underground tank next door to the
Lee residence when the filler hose
blew off the truck and started
spraying the area with highly in-
flamable propane gas. The fire
department was immediately sum-
moned from Port St. Joe and all in
the immediate area were told to
shut off all flames while the driver
of a bottle gas truck owned by the
same company attempted to shut
off the flow of gas.
There was no one at home at the
Lee residence however, and the gas
entered the house through an open
window by where the truck was
parked and ignited by the pilot
light on the Lee's cook stove. This
created the explosion which blew
the walls out of the house. The re-
sulting explosion set the gas truck
on fire since the operator had not
yet succeeded in completely stop-
ping the flow of gas. However, he
stayed with the truck in the midst
of the fire and continued shutting
off the flow of gas and received
severe burns.
About the time of the explosion
Uhe fire department ve about a
block or two away from the scene
and prompt and brave action by
the department brought the fire un-
der control. The department was
working under a strain since it
was not known at the time whether
the truck could blow up or not.
Many people crowded around the
scene and hampered actions to
quell the haulocaust and when a
tire blew on the gas truck after be-
ing burned thru, an onlooker faint-
ed from fright.

ETAOIN SHRDLU

by WESLEY R. RAMSEY

After our little squib last week,
C. W. Long went and repainted his
store front. Maybe J. C. Culpep-
per should take offense at that ac-
tion. And then again, maybe he
paid C. W. off to repaint his store
front so that color would be exclu-
sive to his automobile.

Speaking of automobiles, have
you seen the sporty color that John
Grice has painted his Hudson. No-
-thing but straight Ihan.

And then there's the case of the
other ten cars in town the same
color as the editor's. The other
day, Jake Belin crawled in ours in
front of the depot thinking that it
was. his which two cars down the
row. He realized the mistake how-
ever when his knees, met his. chin
what with the seat being pushed so
close to the steering'wheel. I swear
if it wasn't fpr the red fire, depart-
rCent light oin the front of, ours.
we would lose it a half d',zen .ei--.
a week.
The other week we went up town
and parked, the jalop just to the
left of the post office and started
off down the street in quest'of an
advertisement or two. Upon re-
turning we found a parking ticket
(which we had printed) "nestling
on our steering wheel. A glance at
the clock assured us we had only


sign. Sure enough, we were in the
last 15-minute zone. We had to
part with a dollar. Maybe there
should be red tassels on top of the
15-minute zone signs or something.

No doubt you saw Santa Claus
Saturday, as it seemed that about
everybody in town did despite-the
threatening rain. Old Santa gave
out 1200 sacks of candy and fruit
that afternoon: We are proud to
see this, show of community spirit.
We are also glad to see the show
of increased through trading at
home this Christmas. It seems that
the crowds in the local stores have
'been heavier this year than pre-
vious years. This is a healthy sign
for our town and the only thing
that will make it grow.
The growth of our 'town is to ev-
eryone's benefit.
Santa Ciaus delighted- some and
frightened some, but on the whole
we believe the kids, were thrilled.
'We especially took note of one cer-
tain little boy that was queried by
,Santa Claus as to the degree of his
good behaviour. The boy replied,
"I ain't been so good". At least
'he didn't tell a fib to old Santa so
maybe he'll be remembered. And
then 'harlie Ganraway's little
daughter asked for a new car. But
strain our ear as we might, we
just couldn't find out if it was a
'Chevrolet, Ford, Pontiac, Dodge,
Plymouth, Hudson or what have
you. She didn't seem to be choicy,
just so long as it was a car.

either. That would seem like we
-are contradicting ourselves. But we
*are not. It has been our opinion for
some time that the colored peoples
as a whole do not desire mingling
of the two races any more than the
whites do. It is our opinion that
they desire only equal opportunities
and to some the only way they can
see the promotion of their living
standard is to abolish segregation.
This doesn't necessarily need to be
possible to bring about the advance-
ment of the colored race. It can-
not be denied that the whites have
in effect held back their advance-
ment, neither can it be denied that
since the beginning of World War
'I the colored and the whites have
taken great strides to better their
condition.
We cannot see putting the col-
ored and the whites in school to-
gether because we don't thing ei-
ther race wants it (except for a
few on botl sides). We do believe
equal school facilities should be
:provided for colored and whites
-alike. The main reason we don't
think they should be mixed is be-
cause the Bible speaks against the
mingling of races, secondly is the
economic reason. If the colored
people and educated in the same
schools as whites it will mean the
expansion of every school in the
country as all are now badly over-
crowded. If there isn't money
enough now to cope with the sit-
uation, how could the schools pos-
sibly be expected to expand to
take in colored students?
We are strictly against law n-
forced segregation but we are def-
initely for VOLUNTARY segrega-
tion and feel that it is necessary.

2 throughout the United States re-
ceive from credit agencies requests
for their annual statements. When
th owner or officer of a business or
its- accountant fills out and mail's
back the statement, it becomes, a
part of the credit report on the
business and is a factor in incluenc-
ing the credit rating. The report al-
so includes a financial analysis, a
description of the concern's method
of operation, and a record of how
it pays its bills.
Credit reports are prepared thru
information furnished by the busi-
nessman, plus data gathered from
his suppliers, bank, court house re-
cords, and other sources. Informa-
tion provided to Dun and Bradstree.t
is handled confidentially because it
becomes available in the form f
a report only to "subscribers". Ac-
cording to contract, subscribers
agree to hold all information in
strict confidence and to -use it as
an aid in determining gthe advis-
ability of granting credit or insur-
ance, and for no other purpose.
On the basis of the credit report,
ratings are assigned and listings
made in the Dun and Bradstreet
Reference Book. A Reference Book
listing bgins with a number taken
from the Standard Industrial Code
representing the line of business.
Then comes, the name of the con-
cern, then the,figur for the :i ii .--
of years it has been established un-
der its present management, and
finally a financial and credit rat-
ing (new listings and changes are
flagged with special symbols).
The credit rating consists of two
symbols. The first indicates esti-
mated financial strength. It is a
conservative measure of net worth
and represents approximately the
difference between what the busi-
ness owes ,and what it owns. The
second symbol, the purely "credit"
indicator, is more complex. For
one thing, it takes into account the
promptness with which the busi-
nessman habitually meets his obli-
gations, but it goes farther than
this. It attempts to evaluate .some
of he more subtle factors that af-
fect the success of a business. One
of these is experience. Others might
be the answers to: How long have
the proprietors or managers been
in this line of business? How suc-
cessful were they? What are fac-
tors in their background that point
toward continued success or possi-
ble failure? How efficiently do they
coonduct their business today? How
do they stack up alongside compe-
tition? What interests have they-
if any--outside their business?
like these enter into the picture of
the business as a credit risk.

Nearly 6,000,000

Receiving Social

Security Benefits

Harry Scott, manager of the Do-
than field office, says-
Would you believe it if I told
you that the total number of per-
sons drawing Old-Age and Survi-
vors Insurance monthly benefits
are more than the entire population
of the states of Alabama or Flor-
ida? Or nearly as many as the to-
tal population of Chicago and Phil-
adelphia put together?
You'd likely say "Thatguy Scott's
bragging." But, it's true. We passed
the 5,000,000 mark before 1952 left
us and. judging by the way claims
are-pouring in, we'll be well oier
6.000.000 before 1953 passes on.
This means that ove five million
retired persons, their wives, depen-
dent husbands, and minor children,
and widows, dependent widowers,
minor children, and dependent par-
ents of deceased workers are re-
ceiving monthly benefits. These
more than five million persons are
mighty thankful to have checks
coming to them each month--it
helps out a lot. And the "Beautp
part", as one of them told me, was
that they had bought this protec-
tion so "painlessly"-it was taken
out of their pay and they really
hadn't felt it at all.
Old-Age.and Survivors Insurance
is just what its. name implies. It
provides, financial assistance when
a worker passes 65 and retires. It
is also a form of life insurance in
that it pays benefits to survivors
at the death of a wage earner, re-
gardless of his age, provided only
that he worked under Social Se-
curity a sufficient length of time.
If the deceased was survived ly a
widow and minor children or a wi-
dow or dependent widower over 65
monthly benefits, would be payable
in addition to a lump-sum death
benefit. These benefits might run
from $18.80 .to $168.90 monthly de-
pending on his earnings and the
number of eligible survivors. Lump
sums run from $75.00 to $255.00.
Retirement monthly benefits range
from $25.00 to $85.00 for a single
man or woman and from $37.50 o
$127.50 for a married man and his
wife or a married woman and de-
pendent husband.
Old-Age and Survivors Insurance
is a bet you can't afford to over-
look.

One of the natural characteristics
of cranberry jelly and other tart
fruit jelly is to "weep" after the
mold is cut. To prevent this, place
cranberry jelly in smaller molds
so that all of it will be used up at
one meal. Then none will be left
to stand and "weep."

FISHING' and HUNTING'
Straight From A "Harper"
Named George


Jim Sealey, Horace Braxton and
Lewis Cordell have been among
those who have hunted almost ev-
ery day this week around the lake
area. They report the only deei"
they can find is a doe and a spotted
fawn.
George Harper, and sons, Oliver
and James Edwin, T. C. Smith and
James Harper hunted one after-
noon and failed to find any big
game.
Rain water, which fell in the
woods so abundantly over the week
end is affecting hunting and fish-
ing. Rain water pouring into the
streams have them muddy. An ex-
treme low tide will move the mud-
dy water out.

Return Home
Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Tempkin of
,Falnut Hill, have returned to their
home after visiting here with
friends. They were the guests of
Mr. and Mrs. Bob Bringman of
Hunter Circle.
