ETAOIN SHRDLU by WESLEY R. RAMSEY We have felt for some tiltn ,hat it was a little heartless tc leprive youngsters of the pri-i- .ege of shooting fireworks espec- rally recalling back the years to the fact that we enjoyed them very much and feel that every person 'in the country have en- ioyed fireworks at one time or another. The standard argument .has been that conditions are ,iow too crowded and danger "rom fires is too great. And then loo, the danger of the fireworks has been a big factor. Of course in congested areas i ban on fireworks is a sensible :aw but does that mean that they should be banned entirely? For the fire picture, let us look at the 1953 fire underwriters re- port: Out of all the causes of sires, fireworks is at the bottom of the list with only 2,000 fires being blamed to' fireworks, bal- loons and miscellaneous causes throughout the United States during the past year. The next lowest of fires was responsible for over 24,000 fires in 1953. And thhA the largest cause of fires was smoking in bed. Maybe we should ban these grown-ups from smoking and.cure this sit- 'uation. :By these figures we would ordinarily rule fireworks out as a main cause of fire, but of course keep them out of conges- fed areas so as not to tempt fate. And then comes danger from fireworks. We will wager that not near so many injuries were caused from fireworks in areas where they' permitted, as were caused from toys received dur- ing Christmas. Of course, there are fireworks that are dangerous from both a fire and injury standpoint. These could be outlawed. In fact ma), I states allow fireworks but .out-' law certain kinds, leaving a wide ! ,elerttign ifri" ci.!i.i r i,. : I :,,Id grownups) to enjoy. We would like to see a modi- fication of -the fireworks law, outlawing their sale in the city limits and ofitlawing such num- bers as sky rockets, and large explosive numbers which would leave a wide range 'to be en- joyed. Talk about the value of ad- vertising! This past week Earl Atchison of .Austin-Atchison ad- vertised in The Star for people to read their circular' printed from the ad in the, paper ,that he would- have '100 circulars with an error which. would be good for a prize. In setting up the ad, the 'printer pixie" .put a wrong size capital "N' ihnone word and as a consequence the store was swamped with people wanting to know if that was the ,error. We hereby swear and af- firm to the fact that this was not the error. In the part of the ad taken up by "slacks" the word "slacks" was spelled as follows "salcks". i PORT ST.

Officer Kelley stated that upon accosting the i'an for the first time he asked wheltf the colored quar- ters were and. cted normal in all respects.

Scott says that many people still think of the program as it was when they were first covered back in 1937 and 193S. They are surpris- ed, in many cases, to learn that there are benefits payable to sur- vivors in death cases. Others think of the program as it operated prior to the 1950 amendments, not rea- lizing that even since that recent date, the benefits have substan- tially increased, the eligibility re- quirements greatly modified, and new types of benefits provided. Scott urges that workers get up- to-date information about what the social security program means to them and their families. They should know something about what they can expect as payments upon retiring after age. 65.

Ken- nedy writes about "New England and the South". As is known from several of his speech- es of the past year, Kennedy is disturbed by the movement of New England industry to the South. We can well understand that Sen. Kennedy is disturbed. He is a politician and his people are losing some of the wealth they have enjoyed for generations. He is a native New Englander, proud of his homeland. Nobody likes to see things get, bad back home. senator should be battling for home and voting It is only natural that Massachusetts' junior constituents. We can admire him for fighting for his side. But we think the senator is letting his zeal for serving his. constituents carry him into a punitive campaign against the South. He de- -ies this, of course. Throughout his piece in The Atlantic he drops sentences saying that he doesn't want to harm the South. "It would be unfair to imply that the South's natural advantages have not been responsible for a large "share of this industrial migration," he says. At another point he says "It would be wrong for New England to attempt to retard in- dustrialization of the South." In fact, he says New England "must sell to the South and the nation as a whole" and that it thus benefits from the increase in Southern and national buying power and prosperity. However, the senator from Massachusetts is quick to argue that unfair competitive prac- tices have led industry to migrate from New England to the South. He argues that substan-' dard wages, tax subsidies, federal policies, anti- union policies, and inadequate social benefits in the 'South have worked to the disadvantage of New England. He would boost minimum wages by federal statute, also raise unemployment compensation and Social Security benefits, and alter the Taft- Hartley law and another statute so as to set a higher minimum wage in the woolen industry. "Tax loopholes must be closed," he says, "and equal consideration given to all areas in the administration of policies dealing with tax write-offs, transportation rates, and government contracts and projects; for these should not be factors inducing plant migration." It is interesting to note that he blames some federal policies as giving the South an unfair advantage over New England. Yet, he calls for the very federal policy that has been adopted by the Eisenhower administration, the award- ing of federal contracts in so-called surplus labor areas to stimulate business in New England. In calling for higher minimum wage rates, to be established at Washington, the senator does not take into account varying living costs found in different sections of the nation. A hide- bound wage law could drive marginal producers in the South out of business. This would elim- inate jobs, and for jobless Southern workers, the higher rates proposed in Washington legislation would be only theoretical. What the senator seems to forget is that the South for generations has been starved for industry. Only now is the South coming into its own. It has a long way to go to realize the full potential of its natural resources. But it is on the way and is determined to get its just share of the nation's earning and purchasing power. The South has had to get industry in every way it could. There were no Marshall Plans for the South following the devastation of the War Between the States. The South's wealth was taken away. But New England collected its dollars in the slave trade-and it is this wealth today which is the foundation for much of that region's economic and industrial might. Why should New England ever have de- veloped into the nation's cotton textile manu- facturing center? In 1925 New England had 80 per cent of this industry, now only 20 per cent. It was an economic fallacy that New England and not the South, which produced all of the nation's cotton until recent years, should become the leading cotton textile manufacturing region. If the South is getting this industry now, it is only through free operation of economic law. It was federal policy then that made New England wealthy. Yet the Massachusetts sena- tor is exercised now lest federal policy benefit the South. We don't know the answer to New Eng- land's woes. But we do doubt that the South would benefit from the Kennedy program. His federal legislative schemes to benefit New Eng- land smack too much of penalties and stumbling blocks for Southern industrial growth. Mobile Press-Register TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY BY RUSSELL KAY Well, the jolly old man with the red suit and white whiskers has come and gone. Father Time with his aching back and well worn scythe has stepped out of the pic- ture and our hopes are pinned on the diapered kid labled "1954". Another year. Another chance to profit from the mistakes of the past and build for the future. An- other opportunity to staighten uo and fly right. Certainly America, and especial- ly Florida, has more to look for- ward to than any other area on earth. Our blessings are so num- erous we cannot tabulate them. It is up to us as a nation and as in- ividuals to so conduct our lives and our actions as to justify the God-given advantages that are ours. Ours is the opportunity to pro- vide the strong, constructive leader- ship this troubled world needs to- day. As individuals or even as a great nation, we cannot hope to solve all the world's problems alone. Our salvation rests in our ability to work intelligently and harmoniously with fellow men and fellow nations. We can enter the new year with faith and courage rather than hate and fear. We can employ our wealth and power toward the advance- ment of mankind rather than his destruction .The world today, in spite of all its imperfections, is at better world than it. was a century ago. The peace that all men seek may not be attained in 1954, but it can .be brought nearer if we employ our hearts and minds and resour- ces toward bringing it about. Our swords may not be beaten into plowshares, but we can keep the sword sheathed as we use our God- given intelligence a n d reason the conference table in an effort to solve our differences. Should we be so unfortunate as to forsake that wisdom and intel- ligence and attempt to substitute force and arrogance, we will only provide history with another record of the folly of man's inhumanity to nman. It won't be a pretty story and few will remain to record it. As an individual you probably feel that you are but a pawn in the general scheme of things; that there is nothing you can do to ad- vance or stay the situation. But you can THINK and you can TALK. The course of history is de- termined by what individuals have THOUGHT and SPOKEN. IIf you and your fellow beings THI'NK wrong and TALK wrong I you can wreck the world and bring i THE LOW DOWN ----- from ----- WILLIS SWAMP This fretful land has too many dames and gents in too many Govt. jobs. Not jobs exactly-just pay roll occupants. It's costly. It's an insult. To assume 'that a free Amer- ican citizen is not sufficiently as- tute or has too little on the ball to build fdr his own future welfare and a pleasant retirement, is bosh. We -been talked into handin' the job to Govt.-State Govt., Town *Govt. U. S. Govt., Big School Govt. We been exposed so long to theo- ry andd tomfoolery that our think- ing is a bit curdled. Too many of us are not yet quite sure that we been sold some brass jewelry. Witl over 2.000,000 still on the Federal pay roll and \thousands more on State and County and Town and School pay rolls, the outpouring of theory and uplift is still heard in the land -plentiful. ' It has been sorta hard to believe that a Govt. would sponsor any sort of venture that would put tar- nish on our Constitution versus burnish same. Socialism in Europe put people on the Mayflower-and I il it crashing down upon your own stupid heads. If you THINK right and TALK right you can build a Utopia and create a happy, peace- ful world. It is as simple as that. Compared to the problems of the world, the conflict between employ- ers an employees of the American Can and Continental seem trivial, but they are directly related for they represent a conflict for the control of men's minds for good or evil. And the THOUGHT and EX- PRESSION of the individual has a direct bearing on the outcome be it for better or for worse. Here we see a case of Labor and Industry, selfish, arrogant and unyielding, concerned only, with their personal problem threatening a great industry and countless thousands of innocents, determined to gain a point. Neither side is happy, both are losing much more than can ever be gained when the final settlement is reached simply because some executives didn't know how to THIINK or TALK. What a pity it is that leadership is so weak and followers so stupid that a few ill-advised men can wreck an industry, a nation or the world! God in Heaven, give us men of good-will, men of reason, intelli- gence and courage and do not for- sake us in these perilous times. +t "Copyrighted Material SSyndicated Content 1 Available from Commercial News Providers" * *, - * -B 0'- _ * . 0 * - 7 *1 GEORGE A.

BABY FEEDING Before parents, especially young ones having little or no experience with babies, decide to follow a "de- mand" feeding schedule for tlcz in- fant, it would be wise to discuss thi. program with their doctor. Dcm.and feeding is based on the idea tho. babies should not be kept o0:1 ; strictly regulated schedule but be fed when they appear to want and desire it. This type feeding program is not to be condenited, but one or it: greatest drawbacks seems to be tha! many parents are not able to (e- cide whether the baby is simply hun- gry every time he cries. If they fol- low it rigidly, some entirely differ ent problem, perhaps serious in nature, might be overlooked. , Demand feeding tends to upse; the entire household routine and ex- aggerate beyond reasonable limits the importance of the child. It may be the first step in later develop- ment of far too much latitude in gen- eral behavior. During illness of the child, it may become necessary,to follow a strict program of feeding and medication Parents accustomed to the demand plan may have trouble making the necessary adjustments. At the other extreme is the strict- ly regulated feeding schedule whicl. when followed has the baby eating by the clock. This one is equal i: drawbacks to' demand feeding and overlooks the fact that the baby is an individual who may not prefer to eat each time food is offered him. Actually a course midway between the two programs is desirable. It is well to know the number of hour, since the baby had food. This may indicate to the mother his reason foi crying. If only a short time, she will know he is not hungry and thai something else is making him un. comfortable. Yet at times as with most individ- uals, he will need a second serving and demand it by crying. The seem ingly tiny bit more she offers wil bring smiling satisfaction. U ... .........

Teeth aren't in perfect health one day and suddenly diseased th( next. . When an aching tooth flares sud denly, it means the end product of a long process of decay. The pain is the danger sign and may be the death rattle of a dying tooth. Tihe decay begins in a tiny speck you cannot see-a point no bigger -than a pinpoint. Contrary to wide- spread belief, the decay starts on the outside of the tooth, not from within. Because the outside layer of the and Mrs. W. T. Worley of Grace- ~~\~ '>; -N '1/ i''~; I i .: '1. . toughest tissue, the pinpoint spo' enlarges slowly at first. But as the decay works its way into the sofl tissue within. it spreads rapidly. Decay usually doesn't occur or, smoothly tnoth surfaces that are con stantly cleaned by movement of food over them in the chewing pro cess. To create decay, there must be a favorable point for growth. Natural creases, pits, grooves and spaces between teeth provide the usual places for decay. Most dental authorities agree tooth decay is caused by acids formed in the mouth through action of bacteria on the sugars and starches that stick in these crev- ices. )ni' of the recent findings of dental science is that acids are formed very rapidly and are in greatest concentration on the teeth five to 20 minutes after eating sweet or starchy foods. These acids may continue to be produced in sufficient strength to damage the teeth for about 90 minutes. Nature has provided a defense against the "decay" acids, but in our modern way of life it does not save the -teeth because people are eating too many things containing sugar.

"In other words"', he says, '"we practically eat our own weight in sugar. This may seem like a tre mendous amount, but when you think that three teaspoonfuls Of sugar a day will amount to 15 pounds a year, and then add he amount of sugar hidden away in other foods, it adds up quickly." There is abundant evidence i1 dental profession to show that it children and grown-ups cut down the sugar they consume tooth d6e cay, pain and loss of teeth would be greatly reduced. Authorities point out that a pro- per diet has enough sugar and starches -without eating candy, pies and' cakes. Coatings for Castings Castings of gray iron are widely used as machinery parts. Specially formulated finishes are effective in improving their appearance and in protecting the surface of the casting against rust and corrosion. These finishes form a continuous film which prevents contact of the metal and corrosive atmospheres, .liquids or gases. --:---H------ Star Want Ads Get Results NEWIN R1oomiestCabs 3-man, easy-chair seats ... wider deaoors, most visibility RharpefTiurning! plus spectacular handling ease... pick-ups turn in a 40-ft. street NEW!

Due to the fact that the days are so short at the present time and the children are getting home so late (especially the children who i ride the buses) it has been decided to shorten the high school day. It is. planned to let the high school out at 3:25 each day instead of 3:51. The school is able to do this by re-scheduling the 30 -minute acti- vity period which had heretofore t been scheduled the last 30 min- I utes of the school day. Hereafter this period will be ro- tated throughout the schedule of classes during 'the week taking the last half of different classes thru- out the week. By following this plan it will be possible to deduct 30 minutes from the 300 minutes that heretofore have been spent in each class each week. This plan as outlined is rec- ognized as being legitimate by the State Department of Education and Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. In order to earn a Carnegie unit in a sub- ject, 225 minutes have to be spent in classroom instruction in that particular subject. The plan, as outlined, will not in any way affect the Elementary School schedule. Attending Meeting In Miami Mr. and Mrs. Otto Anderson are attending a Ford meeting in Miami.
