ETAOIN SHRDLU
by WESLEY R. RAMSEY

So now the story comes out
that the County Commissioners
were "hoodwinked" into signing
the Resolution they did. Accord-
ing to a letter carried in this is-
sue of The Star from Commis-
sioner Parker Hart, the Commis-
sioners signed what they be-
lieved was a "sample" Resolu-
tion to stop action on the over-
pass until remuneration was
made to real estate holders near'
tlie proposed overpass. The so-
called "sample" was drawn up,
according to the letter to be
presented at the November
meeting of the Commissioners.
The Resolution was never brot
before body, instead the sample
copy that they had signed was
turned over to the State Road
Department by private interests,
(as our story last week pointed
out ,and passed as the real "Mc-
Coy'.
No doubt the Commissioners
who signed the document were
as angry at the makers of the
document as were the people
angry at the Commissioners for
signing it in that manner. We
contended in our editorial last
week that such an action was
wrong, and we still contend it.
We personally believe that
the Commissioners should waste
no time now in calling a special
meeting to draw a resolution to
the State Department to clari-
fy the situation. We have no
doubt but what such a resolu-
tion would make the SRD res-
pect the Commissioners a lot
more than they now probably
do.
Now that the Commissioners
in question have had a week to
cool down from our attack on
they probably realize how ser-
ious the situation could be. It
is a serious uiing to iiave your-
self placed in such a position as
to make such charges against
your conduct as' a public offi-
cial, made and we believe, made
with justification.
The County pays for the ser-
vices of two attorneys for just
such a situation, and we urge
that the Commissioners make
liberal use of their services to
prevent such a catastrophe hap- e
opening again.

All We Know Is That

We Lost The Game

Our star football reporter let
the minor incident of the birth
of a son and heir last Friday
night'deter him from reporting
on the football game. We asked
him for his copy and he replied,
"Chief, all I know is that we lost
27-13.'
According to spectators at the
Game with the Quincy Tigers,
the Sharks showed good form and
played one of their best games
of the season.
It has been reported that even
Coach Craig was satisfied with
the performance, even though
they did lose.

And there's a special pleasure in
adding a pair of Christmas seals
to the flap of the envelope to sym-
bolize our message of good will to
the whole community.
Americans are the most gener-
ous people in the world. Every
year they contribute billions to
charity, and especially during the
holiday season their hands are out-
stretched 4o give. so that as many
as possible may share in celebrat-
ing this happy time. But the Christ-
mas Seals we use represent much
more than charity toward the sick
and unfortunate. They represent a
gift for the welfare of the entire
community, a gift for ourselves.

Commission Enters

Resolution For

Cemetery Road

Plan For Paved Road Into
Old Cemetery

The Board of County Commis-
sioners at a special called meeting
last Tuesday offered two resolu-
tions to the State'Road Department
concerning road building in the
Port. St. Joe area.
The County Board offered a res-
olution asking for a paved road
from the Garrison Avenue exten-
sion th;-ough and around the old
cemetery to connect back with the
Niles Road.
This old' cemetery is being ren-
ovated by the city for a colored
cemetery and the old historic part
of the cemetery is be cleaned out
and restored for a historic attrac-.
tion. The old cemetery contains
graves of. some of the settlers of
old .St. Joseph and graves of many
of the people that were wiped but
by a yellow fever epidemic in the
old city. Graves in the old ceme-
tery date back as far as a 150
years.
The new road would provide for
access to the cemetery both as a
burial ground and a historic place.
Another resolution prepared by


cause of his close schedule he har
not made the time available to The
Star as yet, but it .will be passed
on to our readers next week.
Santa will make his usual tour
around town on the back of the
fire- truck waving to all the kiddies
(and the grown folks) and will then
make his way to the city park
across from the St. Joe Motel
where he will distribute candy and
fruit to the children who come to
see him.
Santa will be on hand during the
distribution of the candy and fruit
to talk to all the children that will
come see him. Old Santa is being
assisted in this visit by the re-
tail merchants of Port St. Joe who
are footing the bills for the visit.
(As any fool knows, Santa only
pays the bill on Christmas night).
Earl Atchison, president of the
Merchants Association stated to
The Star that his committees have
prepared for all the children in
Port St. Joe and surrounding area
and assures them that no one will
go away empty handed. A big cele-
bration has been planned for the
event, sure to please all the chil-
dren who come out.
Tn conjunction with Santa Claus'
visit, the merchants of Port St.
Joe have planned a gigantic p,
Christmas sale to be staged the
week end of T2.ep^'ber 3. A secHion
of The Star will be devoted next
week to the advertising of these
special Christmas sale items.
The purpose of this celebration
and special pre-Christmas sale is
to encourage Port St. Joe residents
to do their Christmas shopping at
home. The local merchants have
spared no expense to making shop-

"It seems that Secretary of the
Treasury Humphrey is worried
about suggestions that we establish
a more liberal policy of making de-
velopment loans in Latin America,
Instead, he seems to want to tight-
en up the purse strings.
"Tfo me this is a short-sighted
idea. Here we have spent bllioLn
of dollars in Europe to get those
countries back on their feet so
that they can compete with Us in
world markets-with little or no
thought of ever getting back a
dime of our money, and then w6
begin to worry about the few dol-

and increase their commercial po-

"OF PUMPKIN AND MINCE PIES"
It is Thanksgiving time! We allow our
minds to wander back, or we look ahead. When
we turn back, we think of other Thanksgivings
in our boyhood time. We think of the country-
.jide of colorful leaves of faint autumn sun-
shine. We think of pumpkin and mince pies,
and roast turkey. We think of a lot df "doings"
of Thanksgiving Day, years ago.
Does Thanksgiving Day mean what it once
did? Does it mean to give thanks for the har-
vest and our many blessings? In fact, have we
evolved from the original meaning of many of
our holidays? Christmas has become so highly
commercialized that we believe only a few. com-
memorate the birth of the Christ Child.
Could it be like Election Day? Election
Day is a holiday. Only a few of those who re-
main at home for the purpose of voting ever
vote. Less than 40% of the eligible voters in
this country vote, while in other countries, hav-
ing received their freedom back again after los-
ing it, the vote runs above 90%.
So, this Thanksgiving, instead of only stuff-
ing ourselves with a lot of rich food, let's- think
of tomorrow, and the time ahead be thankful


for our many blessings thank our friends about
us for their friendship, and for their many
kind deeds. Also, turn our thanks to praise, and
praise those who are doing good. Many a man
has been a success because he was praised for
the work he was doing, instead of being criti-
cized for the little things.
With our associates, we can get them to do
what they should do by praising them for that
particular job. They will do it even better next
time.
Hare wrote: "The praises of others may be
of use in teaching us, not what we are, but what
we ought to be."
There is nothing like praise for making us
humans feel warm and in a good humor. Praise
not only pretends we are better, it helps to make
us better than we are.
I like the following poem by Lalia Mitchell
Thornton:
"Thanksgiving rapped upon my door,
I gave him nuts, and cakes and tarts,
But quite forgot he prizes more
The gifts of grateful human hearts.
Thanksgiving scorned the heapened plate,
And all my choice and costly food;
I wept, for I had learned too late,
I should have served him gratitude."
This will be a great Thanksgiving. If we
give thanks and praises to our associates and
friends, for the good job they are trying to do,
it will make them better men and women. There
is a selfish angle too, -he good, warm glow we
feel, and this was spoken of by Disraeli when
he said: "We are never so pleased as when we
please others."
This Thanksgiving let's give thanks thanks
to God for our many blessings, and thanks to
our friends and associates for their good work.

Thought For The Week
May I appreciate the flaming fall
With loveliness on every bush
and bough,
A blaze of zinnias by the garden
wall,
The brilliant pageantry around
me now.
MIay I be humble in these autumn
hours,
Offering thanks for all that I
possess.
A home within a land as free as
ours,
The gift of-love and friendship,
things that bless.
May I be quickened to a wider
sense
Of living, helping those who are
in need,
Who face some problem that -has
grown immense,
Needing encouragement in word
and deed.
May I be grateful through these
harvest days
For the abundant goodness of
God's ways.

sisted of group games, folk games
and social dancing, with approxi-
mately 60 persons participating. All
seventh and eighth grade students
are given a special invitation to

Hi Y Chapter To Be Formed
In High School
Mr. T. Aubrey Morse, the state
director of the WMCA will visit
Port St. Joe High School on Mon-
day to organize a Hi Y chapter
here. The Hi Y is a Christian Ser-
vice organization for boys spon-
sored by the YMCA.
Mr. Harry McKnight appeared
before the student body last week
to discuss the possibility of form-
ing such a chapter and the res-
ponse was very favorable. Mr.
Booth Poole will serve as sponsor
for this group.
The Tri Hi Y which is a simu-
lar organization for girls, was or-
ganized here by Mr. Morse last
year. The chapter under the lea;er-
ship o' president, Faye Fleishel and
sponsor, Mrs. Ernestine Sims has


gained much recognition for its
outstanding projects. The group
has assisted the newly formed
high school PTA, helped prepare
circulars for the tuberculosis drive
and decorated the banquet for the
Student Council convention. They
are currently sponsoring a "Go To
Church" campaign, and are res-
ponsible for the Thanksgiving as-
sembly program at which time Rev.
Tom Miler will deliver a medita-
tion to the group.
Delegates have also been chosen
to represent the local chapter at
the Hi Y-Tri Hi Y convention to
be held December :3,, 4, and 5 in
Sarasota. The chosen delegates are
Faye Fleishel, Linda Gall Pyle,
Betty Irwin, 'Carole Mer.cer and

Such plans are economical and your Gulf Life man will b6 glad tc
