Rich Changes Name To Piggly Wiggly

Grand Opening Is Slated For Today

E. J. Rich, today is re-opening
his popular Port St. Joe grocery
store under a complete new name
and operating system.
Rich has recently become a mem-
ber of the Piggly Wiggly group of
super markets and has been con-
p: i;.ely redecorating and refurnish-
iig his store building for the pasL
ten days for this purpose.
Rich has operated the business
for the past seven years under the
name of Rich's Super Market.
Rich stated that he felt that the-
change would bring a better gro-
cery shopping service to the peo-
ple of Port St. Joe.
Rich stressed the point that his
store is not owned by outside in-
terests but is strictly home-owned. E. J. RICH


clmina the posqonfbor th.e coming
year.
Ramsey has been very active in
the Rotary Club and has been on
the Board of Directors for a few
years.
A program was presented by
the president, Perce Fleishel per-
taining to some recent changes in
the Club's by-laws which were dis-
cussed and passed, by the club as
a body.
Floyd Lister of Wewahitchka

FACING THE

CROSS
Rev. BILL IVERSON
"And it came to pass, when the
days were well night come that He
should be received up, HE SET
HIS FACE STEADFASTLY TO
GO TO JERUSALEM." Luke 9:51
It is our lhui-anoi nature not to
face up to things.. to ,ee unreal
as long as we can. and then when
stark, naked reality finally wins,
and it always does. we crumble
underneath its irresistible weight.
\e don't face sickness for what
it is. we don't face death for what
it is. We never see sin for what it
is but call it 'maladjustment' or
'mistake' or mere 'misfit'.
Jesus knew better. He came oi
purpot-e for one thing and that was
to die for the sins of the world. To
Him it meant Gethsamane and a
broken heart. and then Calvary
and a broken body. But aince to us
it would mean eternal life and
reality in the here and now and
because of His divine love for us
though unworthy, "He set His face
stedfastly to go to Jerusalem".
What He faced was the death we
deserve, the hell we deserve, the
the just reward for our open-hand-
ed rebellion against our Maker. Tih,
Bible does not say Christ died for
our maladjustments or incousisteon-
cies. He died for our sins. Therefore
it is impossible for a man to kino
the reality of God's redeeming love
in Christ without facing it like the
thief who laid bare his heart to the
dying Saviour. That morning 'tie
thief faced Guilt, but at noontime
he confessed His sin to a sinless
Saviour, and found Grace from His
lips, "Today thou shalt be with
me in Paradise." In a few moment'
he had left the scenes of his crimes
and it was glory in the presence ,OL
a mighty Saviour-King.

Freezing and thawing rain

wear away mountains.
That's why everything man has
ever built has had to be.protected
against the elements.
Nature packs a lot of destruc-
tive tricks ... and road builders
have to provide against all of them.
Heat, cold, moisture in all their
extremes and varieties give your
highways a tough time 24 hours
a day, 12 months of the year.
Water is one of your highways'
biggest enemies. And it doesn't take
a flood nor a gushing river to start
your highways to destruction.













All it takes are some innocent.
looking drops supplied by a lighl
rainfall. They get under the high.
way pavement, dig away at' the
shoi'lrer and slab joints.
Once water gets under the pave-
ment you'll have trouble and
plenty of it. Water destroys the sur-
face, too. It gets into a tiny crevice
- freezes expands makes the
r.c :co larger until the surface i.
pock-marked or scaled.
When water has done its job-
then every passing tire can con.
tribute to the damage.
Weight, which on a good high.
way ought to roll smoothly and
harmlessly will now roll unevenly,
bumpily, harmfully.
Truck or car heavy or light -
fast or slow will help materially
to wear a road weakened by rain
and weather.
Only in this distinctly secondary
sense, the experts claim, doestraffic
ever damage a road. --

Communism Borrows From Capitalism
The Kremlin is undeviating in its denun-
ciation of capitalism. But, on occasion, the
masters of Russia find it necessary or wise to
borrow techniques and ideas from the capitalist
nations, notably the United States.
,An 'interesting instance is described in a
story from the AP's Moscow bureau. It seems
that the Soviet press, which always reflects gov-
ernment policy, has been criticizing Soviet indus-
try-which, of course, is a government monopoly
on both the producing and distributing levels-
for a poor job of advertising. The ads have been
insufficiently informative and have lacked pull-
ing power. So the order has gone' out to correct
matters as part of the current campaign "to give
the Soviet common man a better living standard."

the Russian consumer-up to now most goods

+s-say.
I Speak For Democracy
I am an American.
Listen to my words. Fascist,'
Communist. Listen well, for ,my
country is a strong country and
my message is a strong message.
I am an American. and I speak
for democracy. My ancestors have
left their blood on the green at
Lexington and the snow at Valley
Forge, on -the walls of Fort Sum-
ter and the fields at Gettysburg,
on the waters of the River Marer
and in the shadows of the Argonne
Forest, on the beachheads of Saler-
no and Normandy and the sands of
Okinawa, on the bare, bleak hills
called Pork Chop and Old Baidy
and Heartbreak Ridge.
A million and more of my coun-
trymen have died for freedom.
My country is their eternal mon
ument.
They live on in the laughter of a
small boy as he watches a circus
clown's antics; and in the sweet
delicious coldness of the first bite
of peppermint ice cream on the
Fourth of July; in the little tense-
ness of a baseball crowd as the um-
pire calls "Batter Up!"; and in
the high school band's rendition of
'iStars and Stripes Forever" in the
Memorial Day parade; in the clear,
sharp ring of a school bell on a
fall morning;. and in the triumph
of a six-year-old-as he reads aloud
for the first time.
'They live on in the eyes of an
Ohio farmer surveying his acres
of corn and potatoes and pasture;
and in the brilliant gold'of hundreds
of acres of wheat stretching across
the flat miles of Kansas; in the
milling of cattle in .the stockyards
of Chicago; the precision of an an-
sembly line in an automobile fac-
tory- in Detroit; and the perpetual
red glow of the nocturnal skylines
of Pittsburg. and Birmingham and
Gary.
They live on in the vpipo.eof a
young Jewish boy saying the sac-
red words from the Torah; "Heal
O Israel; the Lord our God, th'
Lord is One. Thou shalt love the
Lord thy God with all thy hear
and with all thy soul-and with all
thy might."; and -in the voice of a
Catholic girl praying: "Hail, Mary,
full of grace, the Lord is with thee"
and in the voice of a Protestant
boy singing: "A mighty Fortress is
our God, A Bulwark never failing".
An American named Carl Sand-
burg wrote these words:
"I know a Jew fishcrier down on
Maxwell Street with a voice like
a north wind blowing over corn
stubble in January.
He dangles herring before pros-
ipective customers evincing aI
joy identical with that of Pav-
lova dancing. ,
His face is that of a man terri-
bly glad to be selling fish, ter-
ribly glad that God made fish,
and customers to whom he may
