Santa Claus will be on hand to distribute free gifts to the kiddies and a Christmas program of music and instrumentals will be present- ed for the enjoyment of all ages. The Port St. Joe High School band will present its first outdoor concert appearance of the year at the program. Herman Dean, band director has been reluctant to field 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. Funeral Services Are Held For S. A. Barrett, Sr. Funeral services for S. A. Barrett, Sr., age 73, father of S. A. Barrett, Jr., of Port St. Joe, who died in a De Funiak Springs hospital after a lengthy illness, was held Tuesday afternoon at the Assembly of God Church at West Bay, at 4 p.m. Mr. Barrett was a native of Point Washington.

Several students; will be added to the Sen- ior band sometime during the early part of the second semester. Community 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.

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. i Have you noticed the fight in the been there an hour and so we went Supreme Court concerning racial in quest of George Johnson to ask', segregation?

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.

A LA NiV In today's 4,156 page Dun and Bradstreet Reference Book, every line provides facts about an indi- vidual concern, and contains five L to ten elements of information ap- plicable to sales and credit deci- sions. Six editions of the book are published annual, plus smaller State Editions in January and d July. Back of *the names, in the book are reports enlarging on all e the factors which are symbolized r in the listing. Today an estimated d 95% of all dollar commercial trans- - actions in the United States are made on credit -terms, with buyer r- and seller brought closer together s through information available for e. sales and credit purposes. s Every January, business concerns 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. THE STAR, PORT ST. JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA Almost here!

Costing, IJr., plaintiff's attorney, whose address is 221 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.
