ETAOIN SHRDLU
by WE-LEY R. RAMSEY

Did you get to see that good
movie, "A Man Called Peter"?
It was a masterpiece. It was the
only recent highly-touted movie
that we would care to say thisI
about. If it doesn't win the Aca-!
demy Award, several people will
be disappointed.
The movie brought several
things to mind for me. For in-'
stance, the wife and your editor
went to see the movie on its'
third night here. The house was
practically packed. The Port
manager says only one other
movie during his tenure here
has drawn as large a crowd for
more than two days and that was
"The Greatest Show on Earth",
"A Man Called Peter" will break
this record in attendance. The
audience went to hear a mes-
.sage. They heard the message
and were witnesses to some very
fine acting. We think that the
kind of people that make up a
church were very aptly por-
trayed and we sincerely hope
that church-goers had a good
long look at themselves.
The way the people flocked
to see this movie that was defin-
itely "church" in atmosphere
makes us wonder at a recent ac-
tion by the U. S. Senate. They'
have outlawed Bibles in public'
schools. Can you imagine such
a thing in a church-going nation.
A nation, as Peter Marshall, im-
migrant, said, "was founded un-
der the teachings of god". I
would wonder if maybe the U.
S. Senate would have us go back
on that teaching and method of
doing things after it has proven
so successful. Maybe this is why
the United States always seems
to come up with the.short end
of the stick no matter' what she
tries.
.Maybe this is why people say
that the United States is losing
ground with Russia every day in
production and know-how, when
for years, the entire world has
depended -upon the United
States for production know-how
and building know-how. You
cannot make me believe that the
U. S. is running second in these;
departments. She has gained the
first position by hard work, know
how and the urge to get ahead
among free people. There seem
to be no signs of letting up. I
say that we are setting the pace
and the others are finding it
hard to keep up.
But this -Bible thing still
comes' back to us and smacks
of censoring what our children
read, thereby destroying our
four freedoms all in one fell
blow. We. say let the Bibles stay
in the school classrooms for the
children to read if they want to.'
If you think it doesn't contain
educational items, just try read-
ing it. One philosopher said
many years ago that all the
knowledge in the world is found
in the Bible.

PARKING METERS WILL BE IN OPERATION
EFFECTIVE, MAY 2, 1955
Since the announcement that we are to have
Parking Meters, additional facts have come to
light and we submit them for the general in-
formation of the public.
History has proven that transportation is
the life blood of civilization, and motor vehicles
constitute the greatest number of units in our
transportation system. In America, we have the
world's largest private transportation system
- the automobile.
The automobile is not complete transporta-
tion in itself. It is merely the means of obtaining
an objective, and it is not efficient unless ade-
quate parking and terminal facilities are pro-
vided. The lack of adequate parking and ter-
minal facilities .has a marked effect on income
producing property and in any business area.
Adequate parking is vital to the business health
of the community.
To illustrate this point, drive your car to
town on a busy Saturday afternoon. There you
are, with a 2,000 pound monster on your hands,
with no place to park it. You have two choices.

How to arrange




for Family Income
" ," .'.4 ; '.- I l l lM


and ALSO cover peak expenses


The fixed income of a widow)is rarely
sufficient to provide for peak expenses -
higher education, starting a son in business,
weddings, etc. Most plans for future income
for our families are laid out on a fixed in-
come basis.

Now Gulf Life guarantees a monthly in-
come until your children are grown and then
the peak expense 3 roll around. At that time
the full face valuo of your life insurance is
available to meet those expenses.

This is another example of how Gulf Life
helps you provide realistically for your
family's needs. Your Gulf Life representa-
tive will be glad to tell you about thisand


many other plans for family security. He'll
be able to show you, too, how precious your
present insurance is, and how it may be
adapted to the changing conditions of your
life. Call him today.



Suppose You Are Age 30
If you live your family will be well provided
for, but if you don't they will receive $200 per
month until 1975 and then $10,000 in cash
which should more than cover the peak ex-
penses. They may receive as much as $58,000
in benefits for only $29.10 per month.

Instructions For Dialing Telephones in The
Port St. Joe Exchange
Do Not Try To Dial Number Until You Hear Dial Tone
How Ti-Dial Numbers In the Port St. Joe Exchange
Each telephone has a number BAll "7" or BAll "9" plus
four digits. In order to dial a telephone a person must dial
the "B", the "A" the "7" or "9" whichever the case may be,
and the other four digits in the order in which they appear
in the directory. -
The above procedure -does not apply if you wish to -dial
a telephone on the same line that you are on. How to dial
such a telephone is explained in instructions "How To Dial
Another Telephone On Your Line".
How. To Dial Another Telephone On Your Line:
As explained above each telephone has a number BAll
"7" or BAll "9" plus four digits. If the first three of the last
four digits of the telephone you desire to call are the same
as the telephone-you are calling from, these two telephones
are on the same party line. To dial this telephone dial "119"
then the last digit of your directory listing, then the last
digit of the directory listing of the telephone you desire to
call. For example if your telephone number is BAll 7-5412
and you desire to call BAll 7-5414 you should dial 11924.
Then hang up and your telephone as well as the telephone
you are calling will ring. When the telephone you are- call-
ing is answered then your telephone will cease to ring. You
should then pick up your handset and start the conversation.
If the telephone you are calling is not answered within 2 to
4 minutes the ringing will cease automatically.

is the answer to the


rds,


S question, "Why do your clergy have to dress
differently from lay people?"
They don't have to. Episcopalians don't think
of it in that way. Wearing of weekday clerical
dress and of service vestments is ancient tradi-
tion. We think of it as the "uniform of God's
ministers" the submergence of the individual
in the office he or she fills. Acolytes, lay readers
and choir members are "vested" when they take
part in an Episcopal service. It is democratic.
The humblest deacon, just out of seminary,
and the rector of the largest parish in the coun-
try are level as servants of God in clericals or
vestments.
The Episcopal Church is one of the most
democratic institutions in the United States. In
fact, it is governed jointly by a House of
Bishops and a House of Clerical and Lay dele-
gates. This is similar to our own Senate and
House of Representatives.
You'll like the democratic "feel" of the Epis-
r : copal Church. Won't you come to church with

Housewives Must Pay
Social Security On Maids

Housewives were given a timely
reminder this week by Manager
John V. Carey of the Panama City
district office, Social Security Ad-
ministration. He sates hat ths re
minder is particularly important to
most housewives in this area. A
housewife is required to make a
Social Security report to the Direc-
tor of Internal Revenue before Ap-
ril 30 on every household worker
to whom the housewive paid as
much as $50 in cash wages during
the first three months of this year.
This is not a voluntary matter.


If you have not received the spe-
cial envelope reporting form, you
should contact the Internal Reve-
nue Office, Post Office Building,
.Panama City, or the Social Secur-
ity office, and ask for one.
Mr. Carey also mentioned the
large number of telephone calls
that are received from housewives
who ask how they can explain to
the household worker what the
worker can expect to get for the
Social !Securit ytax which the
housewife must deduct from her
pay. Wages received in household
employment count toward Social
Security benefits -just like wages
received in other covered employ-
ment provided the wages received
from th housewife are as much as
$50 cash in the quarter year.
If the household worker, just as
any other person, works long
enough to be insured benefits are
paid to the worker in old age or to
certain survivors in case of death.
Benefits range from $30 per month
to $200 per month depending upon
the individual case.
If you would like further infor-
mation, contact the Social Security
office at 522 Mercer Avenue, Pan-
ama City, Florida.

THE SENSATIONAL
STRATO-STREAK V-8
Here's the most modern and effi-
cient V-8 in the industry, de-
livering 200 horsepower with
the four-barrel carburetor, op-
tional at very low extra cost.


It's a fact-never before in the history of the
automobile industry has a car offered so much
power for so little money as the 1955 Pontiac. It
is the first and only automobile ever built that
delivers 200 horsepower at a price every new-car
buyer can afford-hundreds of dollars less than
any car equalling its blazing performance.
And that's not all! Pontiac is also the sole
automobile at its price to unite the terrific
"drive" of 200 horsepower with a road-leveling
122" or 124" wheelbase and such big-car
stability. It's the biggest as well as the highest-
powered car ever priced with the lowest.
Yes, you read that right! You can buy a big


powerful Pontiac for less than many models of'
the lowest-priced cars or stripped economy
models of higher-priced makes.
Come in and drive this silken-smooth per--
former. A few miles behind the wheel will tell
you better than any words that Pontiac is the
greatest buy that ever took the highway!

BLOWOUT PROTECTION
There's no tube to pinch or explode!
Inside this tire there's a Safety-Liner,
which holds air, and reinforces the
tire in the event it should be injured
. instead of a dangerous blowout
you get a harmless slow leak. You
drive relaxed, with greater peace of
mind.


PUNCTURE PROTECTION
If a nail, or any sharp object should
penetrate this tire, the Safety-Liner
grips it and slows the air loss No
sudden flat tires, no need to change
flats on the road, instead the Firestone
De Luxe Champion Tubeless enables
you to drive to the nearest service
station.


SILENT-RIDE SAFETY-GRIP TREAD
SKID PROTECTION Newly designed
silent tread has 70% more angles and skid-
protecting edges than ordinary tires.
QUIETER RUNNING Won't squeal
even on sharpest turns. No hum or whine
because tread elements overlap to prevent
rhythmic vibration.
I


Firestone's new cord treating factory corn
bines the famous Firestone Gum-Dipping
process with Safety-Tensioning, a new
process which takes the stretch out of tire
cords, prevents dangerous tread cracking.
The result is greater blowout protection
and longer tire life.
