C. R. Garraway, owner of,Garra-

the announcement this week on his
return from Birm-iin itb Alaba ia
-where Clienvrolet retail dealers of
this area saw 1954 'models and
heard a discussion of their features
in the Municipal Auditorium.
"In line with the customary.Chev-
rolet policy at these annual closed
meetings, we have bden asked not
to reveal details of the new cars,"
said Charlie. "The company feels
that its' automotive progress can
be fully appreciated only by first-
hand inspection. For this reason
we make every effort to keep the
models under wraps until the na-
tional showing, when they can be
seen only-in dealer showrooms."
For his local introduction. Char-
lie plans special showroom decor-
ations and a program that will
make the event unusual. The tin-
nual' showing here has always been
spectacular, and Charlie says the
1954 display will be no exception.
There will be three door prizes giv-
en away to the lucky registrants.
All guests will be given valuable
favors and can also enjoy refresh-
ments at the snack bar. Charlie will

Two Local Boys Receive
All-Conference
Leslie Coker, Sharks halfback
and Benny Hudson, Sharks center,
received all-conference rating for
the '53 season. The coaches of the
Northwest F 1 o r ida Conference
chose 23 players to be on the all-
conference team. A complete team
of eleven offensive and eleven de-
fensive players were chosen. The
extra player was selected because
of a tie. Both Benny and Leslie
were chosen on offense.
Benny has lettered ifi football for
the past four years. He was chosen
by his team-mates as best blocker
last year. He also participates in
baseball, playing the position of
catcher. Benny has been an active
leader and participant in the Intra-
mural programs, too. Benny hopes
that, after his four years of football
that the public thinks he has done
his best to win.
Leslie has lettered for the past
two years. He has done some spec-
tacular ball carrying for the Sharks
during the past season. Leslie also
plays the position of center field
on the baseball team. Leslie, noted
for his wonderful sportsmanship,
said, "I feel that I have received
from this sport what I have put into
it."
Benny hopes to be a professional
football player, while Leslie is
planning to work on the railroad
after graduation.

IS CHRISTMAS TOO COMMERCIALIZED?
From every corner, about this time every
year, we hear this question and a multitude
of arguments in both directions of the question.
We side with those who say it is not too com-
mercialized. By that we mean, that we don't
believe that the Christmas "spirit" is going too
far away from the original cause of Christmas,
namely the birth of our saviour, Jesus Christ.
We have all learned in Sunday School and
in church that God gave his only begotton son
on this day to the lost people of the world. He
was, in the "commercial" sense, a gift. A gift
to atone for man's sins. The greatest gift that
has ever been given, bar none.
And now, at this time each year, we see
man's puny efforts to bring cheer to his friends
and loved ones by the offering of gifts, one to
another. Is this wrong? Is this what one would
term "commercialized"? We would label "good
neighborliness" and "thoughtfullness" of our fel-
low man.


But then of course, it cannot be denied that
some people try to commercialize on the Christ-
mas spirit of giving. But then are these people
any more plentiful than those who would not
indulge in any exchange of gifts or in the friend-
ly spirit of Christmas? We think not.
We believe that nothing like the present
celebrations of the Christmas season has served
to bring the initial facts of the beginning of
Christmas before those who celebrate this holi-
day, has done more to tell the world that a
Saviour was born on this day. In our opinion
it is the best evangelistic means that has ever
come forth.
The little tots learn of the cause of Christ-
Inas just as early as they learn of Santa Claus.
Santa Claus brings untold happiness to the phy-
sical side of youngsters. Santa Claus means
only one thing to young minds, "good". He could
do no evil and he can punish those little girls
and boys who do not behave themselves. This
is also the plan of God toward men. He can
do no evil, he perpretrates right thinking and
he punishes his children if they are not "good".
As it would look from this chair, it all ties
in together to make one of the most joyous of
seasons for all mankind from both the spir-
itual and physical viewpoints. There is no sea-
son better and we trust that all will enjoy it to
the fullest and not forget our unfortunate neigh-
bor.
As Joe Malpas, of the Wakulla County
News, says, "We at times get Santa Claus and
Christ mixed up and yet we fail to find con-
flict here. Both are .men of good will toward
men. One brings candy, cowboy suits and things
for the physical enjoyment of life and the other
brings peace, happiness, and the promise of eter-
nal life-if we wish it. Wouldn't be surprised a
bit, if Santa should meet up with the Good
Lord, they would get along just fine."


Ah this wonderful cool weather.
Just what we have ordered. It even
makes us sit up full of vim, vigor
and vitality. That's mighty power-
ful weather when it can do that.
We know some of our friends
in the clothing business were glad
to see it. They had winter clothing
up to here, and people, the editor
included, just would not buy them
until it turned cold enough to wear
them..

That jolly old gentleman with the
red nose and white whiskers will

These County Commissioners
have done something again that
just don't look right. Of course it
may be right and some of them
may have had to concede this par-
ticular item to get what the pub-
lic needed.
We are referring to one of the
roads to be paved out of the State
Secondary Road fund.
The County was allowed approxi-
mately $140,000.00 to pave approxi-
mately ten miles of road with.
Approximately half of this total
amount of road to be .paved runs
from a road in Wewahitchka right
smack dab out through the middle
of the swamp to the vicinity of
Doc Whitfield's fish camp. Maybe
Whitfield gets, enough business out
his way to warrant a paved road,
but why not just pave the.road now
leading to the camp and save grad-
ing expense instead of striking out
through the middle of marshy
swamp? Maybe there's a logical

there is one, we are open to enlight-.
enment, as, well as. some of our
readers.
We are in accord with the Com-
missioners for paving done in the.
beach area. The potential tourist
trade to this area is second in Im-
portance only to the St. Joe Paper
Company mill and we are heartily
in favor of any improvement to our
beach area possible, to make it'
more attractive to tourists. We
would liked' to have seen the com.
mission pave some runways to he
water's edge from the highway to
necessitate the loading and unload-
ing of boats but apparently the
Commission ran out of money
above.

Around Gulf County
by RUTH MILTON
Home Demonstration Agent
The holiday season is here.
Homemakers in Gulf County are
busy planning holiday venues, de-
corating their homes, buying and
wrapping presents, attending and
giving Christmas parties, etc. Be-
low are listed a few hints for this
season of the year.
Advance Preparation
When you plan your holiday din-
ner, it's smart management to make
a list of the foods that can be pre-
pared ahead of the big day to save
time, labor and confusion. When
dinner is to be served at noon, it's
especially helpful to get as much
of the meal as possible, ready the
day before.
What and how much you can do
in advance depends partly on the
food and partly on how much refrig-
erator space you have, suggest Mary
Swickard, cookery specialist of the
H. D. Dept. of Agriculture. For ex-
ample, she says that a time-con-
suming job like preparing stuffing
is. well worth doing the day before
i fhtere i's room to keep the stuf-
fing in the refrigerator. In contrast,
cooking vegetables ahead of time
doesn't pay because they lose qual-
ity in reheating and. doing so means,
extra pans to wash.
Here are some possible day be-
fore jobs:
1. Stuffing-whether made with
bread crumbs, flaky cooked rice or
cornbread. Keep, in refrigerator
closely covered. If:oysters are used
in stuffing, add them just before
the stuffing goes in the'turkey.
2. Cranberry sauce or jelly can.
be made the day before or earlier.
Many people like uncooked cran-
hberrylorange relish which keeps
two to three weeks in -a tight jar
in the refrigerator;. To make: Put
through the food grinder a pound
of cranberries and an orange rind
and all except seeds. Then mix
with a cup of LIgai' ni' strained-,ho'i-
ey and a quarter teaspoon salt.
3. Fresh. i, '.letaii.,[ik for rel-
ishes may be washed and prepared
the day before. This. includes cel-
ery, radishes, carrot sticks or let-
tuce. which will keep crisp over-
night in the refrigerator.
4. Gelatin salad may be made a
day ahead, but green salad should
be mixed just before serving.
5. Filling for pumpkin pie may
be mixed a day ahead and kept in
the refrigerator. Mince pie is best
freshly baked, but some homemak-
ers bake it a day ahead .and re-
heat it in the oven after the 'ur-
key comes out.
Candlewax Stains
As sure as holiday season arrives,
that .old question about how to re-
move candlewax drippings from ta-
ble linen comes to. Wax stains
should not be difficult to remove
at home, UJS.D.A. Specialist says,
but it pays to use the best method
on expensive table cloths, or mats.
The first step is to scrape the
hardened wax from the surface of
the cloth gently with a dull kpife.
Then sponge the stain with clean-
ing fluid, as you would treat any
grease spot. This is easier than the
familiar method of laying the stain-
ed fabric on a blotter and pressing
with a warm iron. If any trace of
color is left, they usually can be
removed by sponging with a cloth
dipped in a mixture of two parts
water to one part rubbing alcohol.
Safety specialists add this cau-
tion: Whenever you use cleaning
fluid, even a little, use it outdoors
or in a well ventilated room.

Judge Lewis Speaks
Before Rotary Club

Judge E. Clay Lewis spoke be-
fore the Rotary Club last Thursday
noon at their regular weekly din-
ner meeting at the Motel St. Joe.
Lewis spoke on the future results
of the Benton Amendment. The
amendment in 'question, declared
Lewis would eventually do away
with the American form of govern-
ment if not allowed by congress o
pass. According to Lewis, the
Amendment would do away with a
clause in the Constitution that
makes any treaty signed by the
United States automatically law
over, any United States law.
Lewis brought this talk as a
warning as to what could happen to
the United States carrying such
legislation as they are now carry-
ing if a motion passes in the Unit-
ed Nations for world government.
As things now stand, says Lewis,
any resolution the United Nations
now makes would automatically
become law over the United States
regardless of what local laws have
to say simply because the United
States is tied to agree to any
treaty agreed to by Congress.
He pointed the danger as being
that the majority of the United
Nations votes is in other hands and
that if the United States blindly
accepts any and all resolutions pas-
sed by the UN, the U.S. might find
itself in a predicament that she
did not wish herself to be in.

Average Monthly

Social Security

Check Is $50.00

Well over five and one-half mil-
lion people are receiving Federal
old-age and survivors insurance
benefits, Harry .Scott, manager of
the Dothan social security office,
said today. Scott reported that in
14 county areas served by his of-
fice, about 8500 persons are now
receiving the monthly payments.
He pointed out that 82 per cent
of all jobs in the United States
are now covered by social security,
and that about 25 million people
have already worked in covered
employment or self-employment
long enough to be permanently in-
sured under the system.
"The national average monthly
retirement check is now a little ov-
er $50," Scott said. "In those cases
where the benefit is based on
earnings after 1950, the average
for a retired worker without depen-
dents is about $65; for an aged cou-
ple, somewhat more than $100;
and for a widow with two children,
about $150. Four out of every five
mothers, and children are protected
under the program in the event of
the death of the family breadwin-
ner."
The Dothan office of the social
security administration, a part of
the new U. S. Department of
Health,-Education, and Welfare, is
located at 109 W. Burdeshaw St.
Scott urges anyone desiring fur-
ther information about old-age and
survivors insurance, or who thinks
he is eligible for benefits, to get
in -touch with the Dothan office. He
emphasized that a claim .must-be
made in each case before payment
can begin.
Our representative will be at the
Port St. Joe City Hall on the sec-
ond Tuesday of each month at
10:30 a.m.
