THURSDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1965 r : . --: :_ - =- --- - S = ------ _- - CHRISTMAS MAKES FOOLS OF THOSE WHO CLAIM THAT GOD IS DEAD On Christmas Day a soldier in Vietnam, dirty with jungle mud and blood, will team open a letter from home. For a few moments he will forget his bone-aching fatigue, remembering boyhood days with his family and the excite? ment of getting and giving gifts. The sour-sweat smell of barracks and the dank green odor of jungle camps will be replaced by the smell of white sheets on the old bed at home on Christmas Eve, the pung- ence of Christmas trees and the aroma of food from mother's kitchen. The illusion will be gone even before the letter is finished and that soldier will long for peace, more than you or I who have never lived on a battlefield can evei long for peace, and he may weep for a meaning that has gone out of his life. As long as that soldier feels joy from no more than the reading of a letter on a battlefield, or has hope expressed as a longing for peace, or repents through tears for lost meaning, we know that Go0, is'alive. NO EGGS FROM DEAD GEESE .There have'been considerable hurrahs for the mass of legislation,. tbtotal of 349 public laws, enacted by the 89th Congress in its first session. But, as a leading Washington, D. C.,;snewspaper commented, "Little has been heard and not much will be said about the cost No one has any idea what dollar sign will have to .be put on these programs as they come into full bloom in subsequent years." There's also the question of where all the money will come from. From taxes, of course-but some of the laws recently passed or proposed may kill some of the geese that lay those golden tax eggs. The National Small Business Asso- ciation, an organization formed by owners of small, private industries, has pointed out that government has nothing to "give" in its programs unless it has first "taken" from some- where. And it can't continue to take from private industries unless the owners make enough profit to stay in business. Talk to any small business operator and you will learn that various taxes and burdensome government regulations already are squeezing his profits more tightly day by day. Yet the Administration is committed to legislation to increase the present minimum wage of $1.25 an hour. Millions of workers in small firms would be brought under the proposed law for the first time; but many of them would lose their jobs instead of gaining an increase in pay. Take a company of 100 employees now being paid $1.50 an hour, and say the minimum wage is increased to the $2.00 an hour advocated by the powerful AFL-CIO. The employer's payroll would rise $50 an hour, $400 a day, $2,000 a week, and $104,000 a year. If the annual profit has averaged only $50,000, then the company must lay off workers and increase its prices, provided competition will permit. The proposed new minimum wage law could easily trigger bankruptcy or voluntary closing of thousands of small firms. Thus it would close doors of opportunity for the un- skilled worker, instead of opening them. FALSE WITNESS One of the disturbing signs of these times is the readiness of some supposedly intelligent and responsible persons to accept and publicize, without question, an accused lawbreak- .etr*S claim that he was abused by the police. Take the case 'in tason,' Mississippi; last Juine, when several hundred persons were arrested while picketing the State Legislature, for parading without permit and refusing to disperse when so ordered. Agents of the U.S. Justice Department, "civil rights" attorneys and representatives of national news media were on hand during arrest and confinement of the demon- strators. None of them reported any undue force used by the police. But then a 3-man committee from the National Council of Churches talked with demonstrator-prisoners for only two hours (by their own statements), and thereafter tigated 1,787 such allegations this year. Only 13 were four to warrant indictments. It is understandable that an ac caused lawbreaker might in turn accuse the police of mistrea ing him. But when clergymen, newsmen and public official promote charges of police brutality without first making su of the facts, there is reason for the rest of us to question either their intelligence or their motives. ~-- I- l-l_ l - THE STAR Published Evrry Thursday At 306 Williams Avenue, Port St. Joe.

That investigation was completed many weeks ago, and not one single charge aganist the Jackson police has been filed by the Justice Department. But we haven't seen any banner headlines announcing their exoneration of the NCC group's accusations. We've heard no apologies or corrections from any of the commentators or Congressmen who propa- gated those false stories across the nation. Nor have we seen any sign that those "clergymen" who made up the NCC com- mittee have done anything to atone for bearing false witness against the policemen of that Southern city.

' Christmas Caroling Is Practice That Is Almost As Old As Christmas Itself Christmas caroing is almost as old as Christmas itself-though not in the form we know it. An early historian wrote that in the Second Century the bishop of Rome urged his people to sing "in celebration of our Lord." Christmas hymns go back to the Fifth Century, when most of them were written in Latin. St. Francis of Assissi is regarded as the father of caroling as we know it, according to World Book Encyclopedia. In 1223, St. Francis placed a creche (miniature Nativ- ity scene), in a hermitage in Grec- choi, Italy. After this many churches began displaying a Nativity scene at Christmas, and soon the people be- gan acting out the Christmas story. The actors composed carols to sing with their Nativity plays and after the plays would stroll down the street, singing. In that way,'street caroling was born. Joheph Mohr ,a pastor in Obern- dorf, Austria, composed "Stille Nacht," or "Silent Night," on Christmas Eve, 1818. Franz Grube, the local schoolmaster and organ- ist, composed the munic the same day, and the hymn was sung for the first time at Midnight Mass that night. SCharles Wesley, brother of John Wesley, wrote, "Hark, The Herald Angels Sing!" in 1739. Phillips Brooks, a noted Boston clergyman, wrote "O Little Town of Bethle- hem" in 1868 after visiting Bethle- hem. Though not a carpl, Handel's no- ble "Messiah" is a Christmas tra- dition. It first was performed in Dublin in 1742. "Joy to the World," written in the early 18th Century by Isaac Watts, was set to the music of a segment of the "Mes- siah." "While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night," written in 1703 by Nahun Ttate, was set to music taken from "Siroe," an opera by Handel. No one knows who wrote "The EXTENDING GREETINGS TO EVERYONE COOPER 'S Barber Shop First Noel." It first appeared in print in 1833 in a book called "Christmas Carols Ancient and Modern," and is believed to be very old. The author of "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen," also is un- known, but he lived before Shakes- peare. So if you should go caroling this Christmas season, think of other carolers of years gone by, of the people of Charles Dickens' time in their beaver hats and cutaway coats, of English villagers in hose and jerkin, of good St. Francis, and of the priests of the time of the Christian Roman Empire who, before caroling as we know it ex- isted, sang "in celebration of our Lord."

This is the same mes- sage used by John the Baptist, when he proclaimed the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Last but not least in Zechariah, chapter twelve, we read of the LORD (JE- HOVAH) talking to the people of Israel about the things he will do in the coming days; declaring in verse 10, that they shall look upon him (JEHOVAH) whom they have pierced. To anyone, with an honest de- sire to know the truth, I say, search the' scriptures and you will only find one person who fits the old testament record, that is Jesus Christ, who is Jehovah in human flesh, via the virgin birth.

The "Messiah" oratorio, a Christ- mas tradition, was composed by George Frederick Handel in only 25 days ,according to World Book Encyclopedia. It was first perform- ed in 1742 in Dublin. A year later King George II set the custom of standing during the oratorio's "Hal- leulujah Chorus."

Tradition says that a green Christmas portends a white Easter and that when Christmas falls on a Mon- day, the winter will be long and cold but when it falls on a Wednesday, there will be a splendid summer and a beautiful harvest. Another legend says that the cock was the first to an- nounce Christ's birth and bhat ever sinee, the rooster crows all night long on the eve of Christmas. New work begun during Christmas week will never prosper, one tradition has it another cautions that whatever is done on New Year's Day will be done the whole year through, so pay no bills! An especially lovely leg- end is the one concerning horses and barnyard ani- mals, because their fore- bears witnessed the nativ- ity it is believed that horses kneel at midnight on Christ- mas Eve, while barnyard animals have the gift of speech. The fact that there were animals present in the man- ger on the night of the Christ child's birth is said to be responsible for the origin of the myth-that ani- mals spoke on Christmas Eve. Anglo-folklore gives credence to the belief that cattle in Devon. and Corn- wall fell on their knees in adoration and the bees sang in their hives.

But remember, without either-this would be a dull, drab world. Often both have to be handled with "gloved hands," but if they are treated properly both will bring enjoyment to home and the garden. Since gardening is a safer sub- ject than domestic affairs, here are a few tips on roses. -However, you FOR THE BEST CABINET and MILLWORK Wood Door and Window Repairs Aluminum Screens, Doors, Storm Shutters MADE TO ORDER FURNITURE REFINISHING REPAIRING REBUILDING Built-In Ironing Boards Ready to Install CHAIR CANING CALL 229-4801 H. E. GOODMAN West Highway 98 4tp Port St. Joe might keep in mind that a dozen roses and a few kind words often soften the damage of a domestic tiff. Roses come in two main classes; dormant (bare roots) and container grown. The dormant rose plants are graded number 1, number 1 and number 2 based on size and number of canes. Grade number 1 is best. Container-grown rose plants are "Florida Fancy No. 1"; and "Flor- ida Fancy No. 2." Plants which do not conform to standards for one of these grades are not eligible for any Florida grade label. The best quality rose-plant obtainable is a "Florida Fancy" container-grown plant with Rosa fortuniana root- stock. For those who lack a definite green thumb ,try the potted-stock as these plants are almost sure to live. Varieties to plant can be a prob- lem. Old-fashioned favorites have advantages over the newcomers. These include such roses as Louis Philippe, Summer Sunshine, Moth- ersday and Queen Elizabeth.

On the hillsides, sheep stir and fires of shepherds twinkle. A single light burns in the town. Everyone will recognize this word-picture of the first Christmas. But when was it, exactly? St. Matthew tells us that Jesus was born when Herod was king of Judea and re- lates the story of Herod's plan to kill the Infant King. He writes that Herod called for the death of all boys "from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently in- quired of the Wise Men." They had told Herod of seeing the Star of Bethle- hem two years before the tyrant had ordered the "slaughter of the inno- cents." Scholars have established that Herod reigned from 37 B.C. until his death in 4 B.C. Since we know that Herod died in 4 B.C., Jesus must have been born at least two years earlier. The great German astron- omer, John Kepler, sug- gested that Christ had been born in 7 B.C., during a con- junction of the planets Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. However, it has been learn- ed that Mars, Jupiter and Saturn could not have been bright enough to be visible in 7 B.C. And yet, 7 B.C. is regarded by many to have been the year of Christ's birth. Ac- cording to the Bible, Christ was born during one of the great census takings of the Roman Empire. In addition, Rome's history records that an empire-wide taxation was begun in 8 B.C. It is not unlikely that the census and taxing were held at the same time since one could serve as a check on the other. Since Judea was on the frontier of the Roman Em- pire, it must have taken the tax and census takers about two years to work their way there. We know that Jesus was at least two years old at the time of Herod's death in 4 B.C. Allowing a year and a half or two years for the Roman officials to reach Bethlehem, and subtracting at least two years from 4 B.C., we can narrow the Nativity to 7 or 6 B.C.

Two counties, Gulf and Liber- ty, registered population de- creases in the last five years- Gulf from 9,900 to 9,500 and Li- berty from 3,100 to 2,900, accord- ing to the University of Florida's Bureau of Economic and Busi- ness Research. The University announced Tues- day of last week that figures, bas- ed on July 1 population, show Dade County remained the state's most populous with 1,089,200. The Miami area is followed by Duval with 511,500, Hillsborough 441,900, Pinellas 425,500 and Brow- ard 423,800. In population increase, Brevard County's space age boom helped hike the county's population from 111,400 in 1960 to 192,200 this year. That's an increase of 72.5 per cent. Other counties in leading the percentage increase are Collier 59.5, Charlotte 56.3, Okeechobee 40.6 and Hendry 39.5. Fifteen oth- ers showed at least a 20 per cent rise in population. Elise C. Johnes, research assis- tant in the university's College of Business Administration, said two methods were used in determining the totals. One involved a study of school enrollment in grades two through eight to calculate the mi- gration factor and other resident births and deaths in a county in one year. Other factors considered includ- ed the number of federal individ- ual income tax returns filed, auto- mobile registration and employes on nonfarm payrolls. Seaboard Finance Co. I1 98100FSe 1966.

He said that all State laws are important, but he emphasized one law which specifically concerns persons under 21. "It is unlawful in Florida for a person under the. age of 21 to have. in his or her possession alcoholic beverages of any kind." What happens when the law is broken? Persons under the age of 17 are turned over to the juvenile authorities, and a juvenile rec- ord is established by the court. Persons over the age of 17 are arrested. They are finger- printed by officers, and a set of these fingerprints are sent to the Federal Bureau of Investi- gation in Washington, D. C., where they become a part of the violator's permanent crimi- nal record. The violator can be fined or imprisoned. The pun- ishment can be as much as 6 months in jail or a $500 fine. What are the far-reaching consequences? When considering students for admission, registrars of col- leges must first consider those students of highest character. Boys and girls who have an arrest record for possessing al- coholic beverages before 21 will have a difficult time making the entrance lists. Chances for military service could be impaired. Persons with criminal records must receive special waivers before being ac- cepted by the military services. And it will be extremely diffi- cult to enter Officers Candi- date School. A man or woman under 21 will find that this arrest record will hurt his chosen career. Advancement will come more slowly, if at all. SWho else is hurt?

To protect the future of young men and women, encourage them not to drink before 21."

A love strong enough appar- i . ently to move mountains, but a love' . spurned by his sweetheart on the' eve of their wedding of Latvian . born, Edward Leedskalinin. Deeply hurt, he emigrated to America and found solace in build- ing a dream house and garden in South Florida in the probable hope that someday, somehow, his love would return to share his castle/ with him. - Working alone and mostly at night, he quarried tons and tons of coral rock and then transformed them into fantastic pieces of coral; furniture, many so delicately bal- , anced that they move at a finger touch. His knowledge of engineering and balance was uncanny for he moved huge stone blocks, some - weighing as much as 35 tons by the use of pulleys and leverage.

He must have, for engineering and construction experts from all over the world have come to study his work and none have been able to figure out how it was accom- plished. He first erected a huge circular wall around the castle proper, us- . ing massive blocks of coral rock, each weighing several tons. Then he built a 160-ton rock I tower which served both as his' workshop and living quarters. A winding staircase carved of rock, typical of medieval castles, led down to a subterranean well. .I ' Outside Leedskalnin raised 20 foot high crescents atop the wall, and set a 20-ton obelisk in placl with simple hand tools. He carved couches, beds, bathtub and other furniture. A polaris telescope rising 20 feet into the air and an amazingly accurate sundial that needs no ad- justing are among the accomplish- ?

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1965 The Magi Symbolized Ancient Priestly Caste In New Testament history according to Matthew, the narrative of the three Magi who followed a star to Beth- lehem in search of the In- fant Jesus describes them simply as three "wise men from the east" It was not until the 2nd century, ac- cording to the Book of Knowledge, that they were known as "kings" in a charming legend that traces its origin to that time. The Magi originally rep- resented the priestly caste of the ancient Persian Zoro- astrian religion. As this re- ligion moved westward, it came into contact with Bab- yionian beliefs and prac- tices and thus derived a strong interest in astrology demonology and magic. identical with astrology and magic in the popular view This explains the use of the term "wise men" in Mat- thew's New Testament ac- count, for the three men described therein were ac- tually astrologers and not kings. The Empress Helena is credited with having brought the bones of the Wise Men to Constantin- ople; from there they were removed to Milan and after- ward to Cologne. This ex- plains why the Wise Men were often referred to as the Three Kings of Cologne.
