Lawrence, every family re- ported as being in need received one of the. Christmas baskets. Lawrence stated that the Moose wanted to thank the children of the Port St. Joe-schools for their donation of four boxes of canned goods, plus assorted toys to go into the baskets. Lawrence said that the Moose also received con- tributions from civic organizations about town and that employees of the'telephone company office pool- ed a cash donation and presented it to the project. they do nt -either vote or reinstate themselves every two years.

Don't lose it! And make sure it's copied right!" is the ad- vice given to workers by Harry Scott, manager of the Dothan of- fice of the Social Security Admin- istration. The item referred to in this case is the social security account num- ber card, which is the key to your social security account. Future ben- eiits to which you or your family may become entitled are based on tie earnings credited to your ac- count. If earnings are reported without an account number or with an incorrect number or name then these earnings may not be credited to the account. Scott also pointed out that some employers will not hire you unless you have your social security card with you, and a good job may be lost this way. Remember that your social se- curity account number card is the key to future benefits for you anil your family. Take care of it, show it to your employer when you start work, and contact the Dothan office of the Social Security Administra- tion if you need assistance. There is no charge for this assistance.

We of this area cannot consider-this year a bad one in the way of progress. In fact we would say this has been a very good year for our vicinity. This year proved to be one of the best business years in many moons. Local merchants almost unanimously acclaim 1953 as their best business year since coming to this area. This year saw the City Council pass on many improvements for our city. Foremost of these improvements was the ground work com- pleted for a new water system for the city that will be free of sulphur, iron and other minerals found in the present water system. These im- provements in our water system will be a reality early in 1954. Another great stride forward was the setting aside of funds by the city to construct and maintain a cemetery for the city.- The city has had no burial facilities since it has been founded except for the old cemetery that was formed in the early 1800's when the original city of St. Joseph was founded, but which is now out of use. The third step forward in 1953 by the city was the setting aside of funds to construct and maintain parks and playgrounds within the city. Three major projects accom- plished in one year. This year also saw the finish of the paper company's expansion at their mill here. It also was the time of expansion by the Apalachicola Northern Railroad who have completed a por- tion of their expansion progr'.m by construct- ing a new freight yard to enable them to handle a greater volume of traffic. it is fair for tl'-c ;r IJents, some of ,": lovj1'ia :3 : d In ":,'" County ETA 2 S Ri)L2 iF1 :i f' on- n taxes f ir this tim, Lo be bypassed until b' '-"ESIEY r.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR December 21, 1953 Mr. Wesley R. Ramsey, Editor The Star Port St. Joe, Florida Dear Mr. Ramsey: ,In reatiing your editorial of Thursday, December 17, I notice that you infer that a road' from Wewahitchka to Doc Whitfield's fish camp was conceded in order that the public may get other roads paved with the County's Secondary Road money. You also inferred that? maybe Mr. Whitfield gets enough business out his, way to warrant a paved road. 'It is my understanding that the County Commissioners asked the State Road Department to pave a road starting -at the SW1/ of Sec- tion 5, Township 7 South, range 8 West, running in a northerly direc- tion to intersect State Road 381 for a distance of 51/2 miles. At this distance, this road would connect with State Road 381 in Section 7, Township 6 South, Range 8 West. The present County Road to How- ard Creek from State Road 381 is more than 10 miles, and I think the County Commissioners were fore- sighted in saving for the State and public more than four miles of roads, unnecessary travel and ex- pense.

HERRING, Owner Phone 363 Port St. Joe (Continued From Page 4) LETTERS TO EDITOR left. He has sold camp sites to some of the finest citizens of your city and Panama City, as well as' else- where. Your reference to the marshy swamp where the proposed road is to be constructedl is no worse than the present County Road. You would probably feel more secure for your paper industry in your town if you could see the finest stand of pine timber in the County along the proposed road. ,I hate to see these references about the north end, and would like to point out that Howard Creek is nearest to Port St. Joe, and many more pe ple use it from there than from here. I agree with that part of your edi- torial .that your beaches area is second in importance to the St. Joe Paper Company mill. But we of this end are dependent on sports- men and our fishing industry as second to the St. Joe Paper Mill. Would like to extend an invita- tion to you to investigate this area and go fishing when the fishing is good. Yours very truly, Floyd C. Lister P. S. The proposed road is to start approximately 20 miles south of Wewahitchka.

JOE, FLORIDA PHONE 37 II I I S.TTE Buttram To Leave For Furniture Mart Wayne Buttram is about to leave for the annual Winter Home Furnishings Markets that are be- ing held in January and again in June in Grand Rapids and Chicago. While in Chicago, Mr. Buttram will shop the 2,000 manufacturers who display furniture, appliances and floor coverings in the Ameri- can furniture mart and the mer- chandise mart. Advance informa- ,tion indicates his merchandise se- lections will feature new designs, -fabrics and improved finishes: plus better-than-ever values which he will offer to local homemakers in the months ahead. "You will find that today's home- makers are receiving much more for their money when they buy home furnishings", Mr. Buttram said. Home furnishings prices are still on the "bargain counter". He went on to say, "As an example, in 1939 a typical wage earner had to work 80 hours to pay for a $50.00 sofa and an equal number of hours to purchase $50.00 worth of grocer- ies. Today, he works 52 hours to buy the same sofa and 69 hours to ,purchase the same quantity of food. In addition, furniture may be bought on convenient terms, making fash- ion furniture available to those liv- ing on a modest budget." Mr. Buttram explained that he would be on the alert for new of- ferings in modern or contemporary Styles which are especially design- ed to meet the needs of newer homes and the new trends in more informal living. He will also shop for contemporary furniture which has been re-designed for use with contemporary styles and in mo-, dern homes. Mr. Buttram also plans to attend the annual dinner of the National Retail Furniture Association of which he is a member, as well as the three early morning ibreak- fasts where 'he will exchange ideas with other industry leaders on how to better serve Mrs. Homemaker.
