S THE STAR Published in Port St. Joe 1 SBut Devoted To the Co * Stinued Development of S Gulf County STAR S PORT ST. JOE 4 Progressive Community With a Modern, Progressive Weekly Newspaper S ---------- "Port St. Joe The Outlet Port for the Apalachicola-Ghattahoochee Valley" I~ I I II -- .. "II VOLUME XVIlI 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.

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.

"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- lars that we loan our friends la this hemisphere.

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. CAMPUS INN News of Port St. Joe High School By MARTHA COSTING 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.

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 Patsy Wilder. ------*---- TRADE AT HOME Attend Football Game Menu Is Listed For Mr. and Mrs. Rush Chism, Mr. and Mrs. W.
