The March of Dimes starts here in Gulf County Monday with Otis Pyle as drive chair- man. We feel confident that peo- ple of this locality will give free- ly-due to the polio tragedies in and about Port St. Joe this past fall. Now that progress is being made in conquering this disease it is time to redouble our efforts so that the goal may be reached. Incidentally, Northwest Flor- ida led in the nation in percen- tage of its goal collected during the ;cent d'eiAigency Ilarcel of Dimes conducted -when last year's funds ran out. That is something to be proud of. It is also an example of what we can do and sets an example of what we should do in the coming Drive. Give the Drive your support - you will not be sorry that you did. ' Pete Comforter says you can- have those new-fangled automa- tic transmissions. Pete was up at Wewa Lhe other day and parked his car in a yard and left his mo- tor running and the shift lever in "drive" position. He started to crawl out of the car and ac- cidentally hit the accelerator and the car shot forward and ran in- to a pine tree. No damage to the pine, but Pete's right front fender caught the devil. Dunn & Bradstreet Says Gulf County Has Grown Each January business concerns in all parts of the United States re- ceive from Dun & Bradstreet re- quests ror their annual financial statements. This year the number of requests going out nation-wide will ,exceed three million. The growth of Gulf County is re- flected in statistics just received by the credit reporting firm. Clyde L. i- ouk, District Manager at Tack- sonvilie, which office covers this area, says that there will be more re(quitts for financial statements made of business concrens in Gulf County than ever before. The Gulf County section of the current issue of 'he Dun & Bradstreet Reference Book contains 127 local names, com- prising manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers. It does not include rome of the service and "profes- sional" businesses, such as barber and beauty shops, real estate and stock brokers. Thus the figure for businesses in Gulf County would actually be higher than the 127 quota above. In 1946, the number -of listed names totaled only 79, an indicated' increase for this year of 61 per cent. 'During 1955, Dun & Bradstreet estimates they will be required to -make about 75 percent changes in the listings of business enterprises in Gulf County. These changes will result from adding the names of new businesses, 'and deleting the names of those who have discon- tinued; as well as accounting for changes in ownership, trade names and credit ratings. __ _~ Four automobile accidents mar- red the Christmas week end for the vicinity of Port St. Joe. One serious injury came out of the four wrecks when Jurrien (Jerry) Diepen lost his right leg in a collision on High- way 98 directly in front of Bob's Wonder Bar Saturday night.

But here is a cautionary word: Don't let your exuberance rob you of your mental facul- ties because tomorrow is another day; a rather nice day to still be alive, stated Asher Frank, Di- rector of the Florida Safety Council. A large part of New Year's Eve accidents can be traced to over-indulgence. Drivers en- route to another party or enroute home from the final party of the evening are the ones who are placing themselves and others in jeopardy be- cause they are in no condition to be behind the wheel. We are again calling on bartenders, cafe owners and night club operators not to serve drinks to those who obviously had enough. If you are the host, urge guests under the influence to leave their cars and go home in taxis if necessary. Hosts can thereby make sure there will be no regrets on New Year's Day, no accidents to mar an otherwise happy occasion. New Year's Eve Night is a dangerous night and it should be treated as such by everyone on the highways and byways. Even though one individual may keep complete control of himself and be perfectly capable of driving home safely, the fact that there are others who will not have been so cautious will place a double burden on the safe driver. He will have to drive for every other person on the road this night. Be sure that while you are welcoming the New Year on December 31 that Old Man Acci- dent isn't celebrating with you. Remote Control In his first press conference since his return from the NOTA Council meetings in Paris, Sec- retary of State Jonh Foster Dulles implied strong- ly that any war in Europe from here on would be an atomic war. But the rules will be differ- ent at least for the Western powers. US forces in Europe are presently equipped with atomic weapons such as the 280 millimeter cannon and the Matador pilotless plane, and will have still others as they become available. Military commanders can plan the use of these weapons, but authoirty to use them must come hfom heads of civil government. In other words, the battery commander in the field can point and train his guns and perhaps load them - but Washington (in the case of US troops) must pull the lanyard. We undesrtand, however, that the routine of atomic authorization for such weapons as these has now been streamlined so that in an emergency a commanding officer can obtain this permission almost instantly. But these are what are known as tactical weapons, which, Mr. Dulles emphasized are in a different class from strategic atomic weapons. And while the firing of any atomic weapon is a 'grave decision", and not for soldiers to make; the strategic use of nuclear devices for mass destruction, Mr. Dulles said, could not be antici- pated. Such questions would have to be con- sidered as situations arose. We do not know whether such decisions would involve tossing a coin, holding a meeting of the Security Council and/or the NATO Council or a two-thirds vote of Congress. When Mr. Dulles says that the report of the Paris Council meeting "shows for the first time the means of developing a forward strategy which could be relied upon to protect Western Europe from invasion," he is uttering brave words. And when he adds that under the new unity "if ... aggression should be attempted,'it would be thrown back at the threshold", he seems to be under the impression that the enemy would also play under the new NATO rules. The one clear certainty that emerges from between the lines of Mr. Dulles' report to the people is that civilization has created a Franken- stein of which all responsible governments stand in mortal terror. they are to direct and enforce rules and regulations which govern an efficient, good working organiza- tion. Rules and regulations are made to guide ous (not undermine us) on the job. Be honest with ourselves and our Company and let's give an Lonest days work for the pay which we all have agreed to accept for our service. Just a moment; I am sure you have noticed that I have been say- ing "Our Company". Well, that is the way I feel toward this great Company, don't you? If you don't, there is something wrong with you, and if I were inyour place I would stop right here before I read any further. Do some real deep, deep thinking because that is the kind of thinking it is going to take to sta- bilize our jobs so that they can be made secure for us. and our chil- dren after we have retired or passed away. Don't forget this, and think of' it this way-YOU are just as impor- tant and as necessary in your place as I am in my place with .our Company. There is a certain amount of pleasure and pride in "Bragging". I am thankful that I can brag about our Company as produly as the President of the Company can. I'm also thankful to God each day for. the privilege of the blessing that is mine to have a job with this great Company and the fruits, of my labor with them on this job. The only way there is .for me to show my appreciation is to try to make them a better man in performing my duties than'I was during the outgoing year. I never knew how to serve, ex- cept the lust of the flesh, until I learned dto serve God. There is none of us who is able to serve our Corn- pany, o anyone else, for our 'best and fortitude for which his father interest, until we learn to serve was so well known; Bill Cramer, God, the Father who holds all pow- er in both Heaven and Earth. If I were to employ a person to de work for me, and I was paying him by the hour to do it, and if he took part of this time hidden some- place reading, or working on some gadget of his, yes, he would be steal- ing from me and me are never blessed for this.

We would like to wish the mmebers of the Florida Congress- ional Delegation the best of every- tihing for 1955. During the 83rd Congress, our delegation was a 100% democratic group trying to do a job for Florida in a republican controlled Congress. 1955 will be different. With the exception of Florida's lone republican, Bill Cra- rner, of St. Petersburg, the delega- tion will be a solid front of demo- crats working with democrats. For all of them, we wish the best. For example, we wish for our senior Senator, Spessard Holland, anoth- er year added to his already distin- guished career as a public servant; for Senator George Smathers, re- newed health-to enable him to stay in the Senate where he belongs. And for the Congressmen: Bob Sikes, the honor and distinction of being invited to serve on the Atom- ic Energy Committee in addition to his duties on the Appropriations Committee; Syd Herlong, the cov- eted spot on the Ways and Means Committee--the first time for any Floridian; Charlie Bennet, twin boys; Jim Haley, the solid backing of his district, so that his stay in Congress will be like they say in the circus business-a long, long run; Billy Matthews, a busy year of speaking engagements; Dante Fas- cell, a pair of shoes big enough to follow in distinguished footsteps; Paul Rogers, the political judgment *k *k May you have a gay, New Year's Eve -- and 12 joyous months after!

Perhaps too many years of other forms of carelessness that big starts have resulted in tiny bakes life-yes, human life is the finishes and we have thus grown discouraged. We now are somewhat cynical and are of the mind that we Shall not deceive ourselves any lon- ger. We shall just go ahead and live the new year in the same man- ner as we have lived the old. This is undoubtedly a very realistic view of things and will not lead to frus- trating failures as we see surselves fall by the wayside of our good in- tentions. However, this year we might make an attempt at a switcheroo and make one or two tiny begin- nings-that might grow into a cou- ple of big success by the time the end of the year rolls around. What might be a tiny start? Certainly nothing as drastic as to cease one of our cherished bad habits. That would be foolish and be almost doomed to defeat. Then again, we do not want to institute anything that will cost money-that too, would be foolish and doomed to defeat. We must find something that we don't value very highly and that will not cost us any of our least valuable possession that we have. And what is human life? It iis expressed in terms of time. Hours minutes and days and weeks and months and years. Time is the lowest common denominator of hu- man life--therefore when we spend a bit of time on something we spend a bit of human life. As this seems to be our least valuable possession we might make our tiny beginning 1955 resolution have something to do with time. We might give away a bit of this cheap commodity. Now, if we are to give away a lilMe bit of our very life-even though it isn't worth much to us- we might as well try to give it to a worthwhile endeavor. And what is more worthwhile in this world than the church? We can give a little bit of -,r least valuable possess- ion-our time-to the church on Sunday mornings. We can give one little hour a week as a very tiny start of a new year's resolution and from this is almost sure to grow some final large successes, at the end of 1955.

Home mortgages recorded in Florida through September of this year have rolled up a total of $573,- 473,000 This nine month total is 15 per cent above the comparable figure for last year and virtually equal to the annual total for 1952. The na- ticnal 1953-1954 gain was 10 per cent, the Florida State Chamber of Commerce reported this week. The number of these home mort- gage recordings in Florida through September this year reached 93,- 534. September is the high month so far with 11,892 recordings. The monthly average this year has al- ready passed the former peak of 10,503 established in December of 1953. The volumes of business of the various types of original mortgage lenders are shown in this week's t business review of the State Cham- I ber's research and industrial divi- sion. Savings and Loan Associa- tions loaned $195,654,000 of the nine month total, a 33 per cent gain over the comparable 1953 total. Individ- uals loaned $145,684,000, up 4 per cent; insurance companies totaled $68,255,000, a gain of 2 per cent; commercial banks handled $45,- 278,000, more by 11 per cent; and government agencies loaned $118,- 502,000, an increase of 15 per cent. These mortgages cover residential and commercial properties of twen- ty thousand dollars or less. Since most mortgages of this size are on a residential properties, these data are considered a reasonable gauge of home financing activity. worried a few years back about radio and what it was going to do to the newspapers. When radio was new we. used to sit with a head set and listen to anything and ev- erything that we could get on our radio but after awhile the new wore off and we began to realize how lousy most of the programs were. So we went back to our news- papers and our movies and only listened to the programs that were of particular interest to us.

Now I don't pay any more attention to my television set than I did to my radio after the new wore off, un- less there is some program that I want to hear. Personally, I don't think the mo- vie people have anything to worry about. It has been a good thing to have this new competition for it has made the movie producers con- centrate on giving us better pic- tures and they are doing it. It will be a long, long time before television can compete with the top-notch movies we are getting today and I don't think my neigh- bor has anything to worry about as far as present day television is concerned. When I go to a movie I feel pret- ty confident that I am going to see the whole picture and won't have to sit and bite my nails or pull my hair every few minutes when the picture goes ga-ga and they hang up the sign "Don't touch your set, it is fault," or "We are having Vi- deo difficulty-one minute please". From my experience these heart- breaking announcements .always seem to appear just when the hero is about to capture the villain or the newscaster is telling us the thrilling news about what happen- ed in Washington. I don't think the newspaper folks need to worry about television ei- ther, any more than they did about radio. The present day newspapers are bigger and better than ever be- fore, and as for me I never heard a radio news report or a television newscast that could compete with my newspaper. I like radio and I like television, but neither one of them are going to wean me away from my movies nor my newspaper.
