ETAOIN SHRDLU
by WESLEY R. RAMSEY

I'll"bet we surprised you witil
this week's issue of The Stai
didn't we?
But in a way it should come
as no surprise. W'lhen'we took
over ownership of The Star we
pledged ourselves and you to
keep up with the growth of the
community with your newspa-
per. We are working for you
and try in every way to give
you your hItii'm worth alnd
-'hlit you; as a community de-
:rl't\c a-, a "hiome-town news-
)aper .
We have heard many people
making the statement that they
vished The Star was "bigger
.dl better". We have hereby
*nade it I -. It is now up to
v.on to make it better by report-
ng anything o1 'ws value to
he editor in order to fill up
:hese extra columlis with news
.,bout the people of Port St. Joe.
Please don't make us fill it up
vith news of some far off place.
We hate foreign news in a week-
ly newspaper. So, dear readers,
it is partially up to you to put
the "better" in your "bigger and
better" newspaper.
We hope you like the new
size and if you have any sugges-
tions as to what you would like
in your newspaper, don't hesi-
tate to let us know and we will
try our best to give you the kind
of newspaper you want.
Of course the above invitation
does not apply to' telling us what
this newspaper stands for. It
stands for RIGHT and the ad-
vancement of our city and coun-
ty. We think this platform can-
not be improved upon. How-
ever, we might go astray to se-
cure that which is "right" for
our vicinity and if such happens
we are expecting you to call
our hand, just as quickly as we
would call the hand of anyone
we might think is working to-
ward the opposite direction of
progress and betterment.

We presume you are glad the
'Iolidays are over. We are but
we are sitting on ready for the
next crop of holidays to come
along.

weekly pleasure of reading Joe
SMalpas column in his "Wakulla
County News" the other day
and ran across a little paragraph
that stated that probably the
hardest thing about the'new
year would be getting use to
the idea of writing "1954" in-
stead of "1953". We didn't give
the paragraph much thought
until we went to set the date
lines for this weeks' issue and
do you know we set the lines
,"Thursday, January 7, 1953"
three different, times before it
finally came out of the linotype
machine "1954"? It could be that
oir Linotype machine just does
not know that a new year is now
upon us.

You know, people are co-op-
perative cusses? You take this
past Sunday for instance. We
were appointed in the group
-from the Long Avenue Baptist
Church to conduct its religious
census over town. It was nec-
essary to start early in order to
cover the assigned territory be-
fore people started going out
joy riding on Sunday afternoon.
As a consequence, we interrupt-
ed some dinner hours at a few
houses, but they got right up
from a sumptious meal to give
us the needed data. Now that's
co-operation.

Appointment of 'Clarence M. Gay,
State Comptroller and President of
the Citizens National Bank of Or-
lando, as State Chairman of the
1'954 Heart Fund, which is to be
conducted throughout February,
was announced today 'by Karl Leh-
mann, Tavares, Chairman of the
Board of Directors of the Florida
Heart Association.
Mr. Gay, along with the many
local community chairmen already
appointed, will direct the state-
wide appeal for funds to support
research, education, and commun-
ity service programs of the Flor-
ida Heart Association and its affil-
iated chapters and committees. He
succeeds Karl Lehmann, Tavares,
well-known community worker who
was recently appointed Chairman
of the Board of Directors of the
Florida Association.
Tn accepting the appointment,
Mr. Gay said: "The reason why
everyone .should support the work
of the Florida Heart Association as
an active worker and as a contri-
butor lies in the staggering death
toll caused by heart ..lisease an-
nually. In 1952, for instance, di-


night at S:00 p.m. Col. LeCraw
is one of the most powerful Gos-
pel preachers in the Presbyterian
Church, though a lawyer by pro-
fession, and not an ordained minis-
ter. He is a leading commentator
on Communism, and returned from
the far eastern theater not long
ago. He is the only man to defeat
Mayor Hartsfield of Atlanta in 18
years.
He gives his business time and
vacations to speaking to men's
groups across the nation.


Yet his most outstanding char-
acteristic is a deep devotion to His
Lord and Master, and his likeness
to Him. Through this His message
for men has a power and meaning-
fulness that is much needed.
'The purpose of the meeting is
to challenge the men of our coun-
ty of all denominations as to their
potentialities for the service of
God as they take the daily life and
business seriously as a trust from
God. All ministers and men of ev-
ery church are most cordially in-
vited to attend this service. The
civic clubs are invited to come in
groups.
The men's meeting will be unique
in that it is for men only. The whole
service, singing" organ, attendants
and speaking will be laymen. The
ministers will have the privilege of
listening.
The women of our county have
a treat too. In the church basement,
Mrs. Roy LeCraw, the Colonel's
wife, will bring a message for wo-
men only at the same time the
men meet upstairs.
Remember these events next
Wednesday, the 13th at the First
Presbyterian Church, on 6th Street.

Commission Plans To Preserve Old

He contended that if many more
people were brought to Florida it
would result in a tremendous over-
production of fruit and vegetables
and the market was already sat-

Wonder what Mr. Jordon would
say if he could see the millions of
acres of groves that exist today
or contemplate the problem of
marketing the fruit they produce.
Of course he could not visualize our
present packinghouses, canneries
and concentrate plants or foresee
such organizations as the Florida
Citrus Commission, Citrus Ex-

Snow Crop and Minute Maid.
It seems that the matter of build-

The spoken word i' g..en aciant attention; the printed word

is losL; the printed word remains.

WHAT WILL IT BRING US?
It seems that everybody is wondering to
themselves and also out loud jusst what iaill
transpire i1 1954 in this old world. Life naga-
zine says it will be another big ''ar. Several
economists say it will be a big year and of
course, those inevitable pessimists are around
blowing their horn to the tune of bust, ruin and
such other grim fates for the peoples during the
coming year. We see another season of pros-
peritv during 1954.
Local merchants here and all over the na-
tion report that their sales were larger hi 1953
than at any other time in their history. Of course
the cost of their goods has gone up also, but
the volume of sales has offset this and in many
cases professional men, merchants, manufac-
turers, indeed, everybody has realized a larger
net profit than at any other year in history.
There are two-or things that we, personally,
would like to see come about in Port St. Joe
during the coming year; things that we sincerelY
think are needed for the continued safety of
the public.
One of these two things is a traffic light
placed at Fourth and Reid and Third and Reid.
It doesn't have to ball up traffic, a fast changing
light can be installed. At the present time no
accidents have occurred but the automobile
population is increasing each day in Port St.
Joe and the "near misses" are becoming closer
at these intersections. Then it is practically
impossible to go East and West at the intersec-
tion of Third and Reid. This condition was
formerly strictly a Friday afternoon and Satur-
day hazard but the two spots have grown until
it is dangerous to cross at any time of day.
The second improvement thaat we wo'onld
like to see come. to Port St. Joe is the installa-
tion of parking meters. The city has a man hired
at the present tijpe to mark tires and thereby
time parking on Reid Avenue to two hours. But,


fines from this source are not paying the mans
salary and practically no one parks on Reid any-
more who will be there over two hours. And
still the parking spaces are full all the time.
We are not suggesting parking meters as
a means to empty parking spaces on Reid but
it w\ou0l step up the turn over in empty spaces
giving more people an opportunity to park and
shop. Also it would eliminate the chronic "park
it a while and then move it" people who plague
the downtown street to a certain extent.
This cit is growing and its citizens and
their everyday habits must grow with it.

HOW STRONG ARE WE?
As a new year begins, it is the part'of wis-
dom for a nation, like a business, to review its
assets aind its liabilities.
On the credit side, the United States has
an unrivaled standard of living. Our men and
women enjoy wages and working conditions su-
perior to those existing anywhere else. The
tide of goods and services that flows endlessly
along the American production and distribution
line I -:'-.. the imagination. Materially speak-
ing, business, agriculture and labor arc doing
well.
We have a political system which comes as
close to being responsive to the wishes of the
people as any one can conceive of. In the last
presidential election the people removed from
power a party which had been in control for
20 years and put another in its place. In some
future election the -party now in power will be
replaced. But no heads roll; no purges are
held; the losers are not liquidated. All are
free to air their views.
We are no longer actually at war, unsatis-
factory as the Korean situation is. If recent
reports are correct, our military strength and
that of Western Europe have shown remarkable
improvement. The chance of another world war
is less than it was.
So much for the credit side of the ledger.

is but the forerunner of communism or some

It is true that our present government is

true that some heartening steps in that direc-

the forces that would destroy our free system

New Paint Remover SimpgY ,.


BY EDNA MILES
THIS is a do-it-yourself era.
Mother, father and children
retire to workshops and sewing
corners evenings and weekends,
engaged in making or refinishing
furniture, drapes and slipcovers,
clothes and accessories.
No matter how complicated the
project, there's someone in the
family willing to tackle it. Re-
finishing old furniture bought,
presumably, for a song is -one
favorite way of spending an eve-
ning.
But since any well-done refin-
ishing job is largely dependent
on removing old paint and get-
ting down to the- grain of the
wood, a good paint remover is
important.
There are many good paint re-
movers on the market. But most
of them require much muscle
and effort from the man, woman
or child engaged in the paint
removing.
So one paint remover just re-
cently packaged for home use is
a welcome addition to the shelf.

big show has started. The curtain
is up. Congress is now in session.
Everyone here seems to agree that
without the' support of the Demo-
xcrats, President Eisenhower's pro-
posed legislative program hasn't
a chance of going through. Accord-
'ing to a report in the Congressional
QQuarterly, there were 83 roll call
"test" votes last time. (3~ in the
House, 49 in the Senate). Of these
83 votes, the President won on 74
9f them. On 58 of these votes, he

been for Democratic backing. How
much of this Denocratic assistance
wil Ihe have this time? How far
alonf with him will the Florida del.
egation go? We can't tell what they
will do this time, but we can tell
you how they voted last time.
Here is the roster of your Flor-
ids delegation. Clip it and save i;
