A Christmas Message


The approach of Christmas brings to mind a certain
grave in a cemetery, in Highgate, London, England. It is
marked by a rectangular marble block slightly higher than.
a man's head. Atop the marble pedestal there is a sculp-
tured likeness of the shaggy father of international Com-
munism, Karl Marx.
Marx was born in Germany, but he moved to England
in 1848, when he was 31, and died there in 1883. For
,years, writers have wondered- in print why the Commu-
nists have never requested permission to move the remains
of their idol toMoscow for entombment in Red Square.
And every curious sightseer has wondered at the shabbiness
of -the grave itself; it is completely overgrown with weeds
and thistles. It, has been neglected for years and "looks
as unkempt as did Marx in his lifetime.
Why- should this 'untended grave come to mind at
Christmas? Simply because of the contrast. On Decem-,
ber 25, the whole Western World will stop whatever,it is
doing to pay honor to Him for whom the day is named.
There will be prayers and hymns of praise in every lan-
guage man has devised to communicate his thoughts.
There is scarcely a town, a- township, a village which has
not built a meeting place where men of good will may ga-
ther to study His teachings-and each of those churches
will hold services,, of course.
Thousands upon thousands of pilgrims will travel to
the Holy Land on Christmas Day to trace His steps. And
men everywhere will be reminded that He showed them
that their salvation lay in repentance and service to their
God, and not in servitude to their state. They will be ad-
monished, too, that the Apostle Paul foresaw the eternal
assault on free men. His words to the Galatians stand as
.the lesson of Christmas, for this and every -future year
of our Lord: "Stand fast therefore in the liberty where-
with Christ hath made us free and not be entangled again
with the yoke of bondage."
And while all men free of. bondage stand silent on
Christmas as they have been doing on this day for 1967
years, cold winds will blow throughh the thistles at that
forlorn, untended grave in London. What an appropriate
and joyous contrast!



OLD MAN WINTER

The Indians lived close to nature. They measured
time-by the'leaves on the trees and the snows in the win-
ter. They did not need to look at a calendar to see on
which day winter wa duie to arrive. If they had had any
bills to pay/they would have caldilated the due date by
;the phase of the moon. The ways of the Indians had their
virtues. .
Int case you have not noticed the leaves falling, winter
is just around the corner. The calendar tells us it arrives
tomorrow December 22 at 8:17 A.M., EST.- There
are many pleasant things about winter, even in the coldest
climes. One of the best is the Christmas Season, when
there seems to be a spontaneous renewal of faith and hope.
And when the holidays are over, and we have entered the
new year with renewed strength, there is the crowning
consolation that each day the sun rises a little earlier and

SHORT MEMORIES

A special supplement of a late issue of The Reader's
Digest contains a series of articles dealing with "Medicines
and Your Family's Health." The series recalls facts that
reveal in a most startling manner the shortness of human
memory-particularly the memories of those who today
are making a crusade of pillorying the U. S. pharmaceutical
industry.
One of the articles asks, "What Ever Became of Those
Quarantine Signs?" Most of us have forgotten those
signs, yet they were a familiar sight. They appeared with
chilling suddenness'on the doors of homes in every commun-
ity warning visitors to stay away because a dread communi-
cable disease was present within. The signs were. affixed
by the order of the City Health Officer. --It was the only
way of preventing the spread of such scourges as diphtheria,
whooping cough, scarlet fever, smallpox, polio and many
others.
Such quarantine signs are no longer in evidence for
one very good reason. Drugs have been discovered and
mass produced by the nation's leading drug firms that have
literally wiped out yesterday's killers. Nearly everyone
remembers the history of polio. According to the Digest
piece, polio in 1952 claimed nearly 58,000 victims, but in
1963, only 431 cases were reported, and by 1965, the annual,
toll hadi dropped to 61. Polio was beaten by a vaccine.
"But," in the words of the Digest article, "it took the science
and skills of American drug companies to make these vac-
cines available to millions of people at low cost."
Yes, the old quarantine signs that proclaimed suffer-
ing and,death have disappeared.. They were made obsolete
by medical advances, improved sanitation, public health
agencies and the scientific resourcefulness of research-
oriented drug companies.


responsible for the welfare and safe-
ty of his guests. He fails to recog-
nize that his activity as a host may
lead to disaster.
Staging a successful swinging
party is one thing but contributing
to a tragic accident to a good
friend is something else and it is
difficult to live with.
- A good host will provide plenty
of food for guests to nibble on
between drinks. Tasty snacks are
helpful and it is a good plan to
serve hot coffee as the party pro-
gresses.
As a friend you should keep a
watchful eye on your guests and
if it develops that anyone respon-
sible for driving has had a little
too much you should tactfully sug-
gest a taxi or arrange a carpool.
While the guest maycontend that
he is all right, as a friend you will
be firm in providing for safe tran-
sportation.
A good host's duty does not end
with the opening of the bar. He is
equally responsible for closing it
far enough, in advance of depart-
ures to safeguard his guests. Other
beverages than hard liquor should
be available and the host can re-
spect his guests wishes when he
says "no thanks" instead of insis-
ting that he "have another", pro-
vide orange juice or coffee and
suggest he try some special mor-
sel to be found on the hors d'oeu-
vre table.
The safety research department
of Columbia Teachers College, fin-
anced in part by the AAA Founda-
tion for Traffic Safety, conducted
campaigns in two communities
stressing the "Friend-Host Theme."
Newspapers, radio and television,
civic and-political leaders joined in
the promotion.
Results were spectacular. Com-
pared with the previous year, ar-
rests were down 30 percent, acci-
dents down 32 percent, fatalities
cut 50 percent and the number of
drivers who had been drinking
plummeted 62.5 percent.
This year why not be "First a
Friend. .. Then a Host"?

We just THOUGHT it was beginning to look like Christmas
last week. It IS looking like Christmas around our house this week.
Monday, daughter number one arrived home from Judson Col-
lege to spend the Christmas holidays. Frenchie went after her and
they arrived home about 4:00 p.m. Monday afternoon. At 5:00 p.m.
the baking got under way. At 11:00 p.m., when I went to bed, the
baking was still going on. When I got up for breakfast at 7:30,
the baking was already in progress again.
This is terrible!
Why is it terrible? Because, by the time you read this col-
umn this week, Dr. Wayne Hendrix will have zipped me open, made '
some plumbing repairs and sewed me back up. -I get to spend
Christmas in the hospital. Ain't that something?
The trouble with this arrangement is that I havp to go to the
hospital Wednesday night, after this week's issue goes to press,
and by the time I get out, all the baked goodies will be gone or
stale.
Frenchie, Ray and B. A. Collier have been trying to delude
themselves into thinking that I'm not needed around here and next
week they are going to get the chance to prove it ... or eat their
words. They have the privilege of getting next week's paper out
by themselves.
We went around to the Swatt's and Parker garage building
Monday night to take a picture of the "elves" at work .. the Jay-
cee "elves" that is. They were all busy at work repairing a pile
of toys for their annual "Toys for Tots" program. They had 'a
nice selection of some pretty good toys this year.
One particular toy was a rocket, which ran across the floor,
then ran into a wall, activating a mechanism which caused it to
raise up in, firing position. Jim Harrison "tested" this toy far at
least a half hour.
Jaycees Ralph Swatts, Tom Ford and Bob Nedley were scratch-
ing their heads trying to decide what ,to take to who Jim Pre-
vatt and Earnest Griffin were repairing; painting and assembling
a bicycle TommyCooley was working on a tricycle. and
Jimn Harrison was still "testing" the rocket when we left. He had
it working pretty good.

You'd better read this issue of The Star in a hurry. today
is the shortest day of the year, and it'll be bedtime before you
know it.
You probably noted the editorial across the page concerning
winter, and the shortest day of the year is, the announcement that
winter is here. You can't tell it here in Port St. Joe, since it is
still short sleeve weather, but the last time we had a pre.
lude to winter like this, it snowed in March in Florida.
Don't put away your long handles yet, you may need them.

Despite discovery of many sec-
rets of the heavens in the last 25
years, the most famous star of all
still remains a mystery. Each
Christmas season brings on a new
spurt of effort to identify the Star
of Bethlehem, but the riddle has
remained for 1,973 years.
Astronomers can tell you what
it was not and what it might have
been. But they cannot tell you for
certain what the star was. Many
say it was three planets rather
than a single star.
Attempts to compare the account
in. the Bible (found in ,Matthew,
-chapter two) with astronomical rec-
ords of that time bring more fog
than light. No astronomical body
fits the Biblical description, and
it is impossible to pinpoint the ac-
tt.al date of the ,birth of Jesus
Christ. Adding to the confusion is
the fact that the ancients referred
to comets, meteors, planets, stars
and even combinations of objects
simply as "stars".
Taking into account errors and
switches in calendar systems, the
closest scholars can come to
Christ's birth date is some time
during the spring of the year we
now call 6 B.C. The old records do
not tell of any spectacular celestial
displays occurring at this time.
Yet ,the Star of Bethlehem must
have been something extraordinary
to spark the journey of the Wise
Men who, as astrologists and sky-
watchers, probably would not get
excited over something as common
as comets or meteors. Since they
trekked to Bethlehem from Persia
or India, the star must have been
visible for some tifie-longer than
the visible life of a comet or,me-
teor.
From time to time a very. dim
star, or one invisible to the untele-
scoped eye,. explodes and the bril-
liant result attracts wide attention.
These supernova glitter for
months, therefore one would be a
likely candidate for the Star of
Bethlehem.
,But there is no record of a sup-
ernova brightening the sky in 6,
B.C. And, these objects do not
shine for just trained eyes. If one
had lighted the skies over Bethle-
hem many people, including the
shepherds, would have seen and
recorded it. According to the Bi-
ble, the shepherds learned of the -
birth of Jesus by other means-an
announcement by the angels.
A host of other "natural" explan-
ations (and a good many unnatural
ones) have been put forward. The
one that many astronomers now fa-
vor is a rather complex theory that
dates back to the beginning of the
17th Century.
While studying some unusual
movements of Mars,. Jupiter and
Saturn, the German astronomer-
mathematician Johannes Kepler
observed a rare massing or close
grouping of the three planets. Ex-
cited by what he saw, Kepler cal-
culated the times when a similar
display could have been seen. One
of the dates was in the spring of
6 B.C.
Now that more refined methods
of calculation are available, astro-
nomers have reconstructed what
took place in the sky at the time
of Jesus' birth. In mid-January, 6
B.C., Mars moved past Saturn and
by February 25 stood between and
a little above Jupiter and Saturn.
The planets formed a small tri-
angle that made a very unusual
sight in the sky.
However, it is unlikely that the
event was seen by everyone. It oc-
curred near the sun and would
have set during the bright evening
twilight. The Wise Men, schooled
in the lore of the heavens, perhaps
could have predicted the grouping
but since such a massing of plan-
ets can only be seen at intervals of
805 years, it undoubtedly would be
looked upon as an omen of great
significance and the planetary tri-
angle could have become known
as the Star of Bethlehem.
But this theory does not account
for everything. Tradition says the
star went before the Wise Men
and stood over the stable. If the
planets did that, they acted outside
known astronomical principles.
There is a non-scientific name
for events outside of natural laws.
They are called miracles.

ONE SOLITARY LIFE

He was born in an obscure village, the child of a peasant
woman. He was not attended at birth by a doctor. He and
his mother never saw a hospital.
He grew up in still another village, where he worked in
a carpenter shop, like his step-father before him. When he
was thirty he left home and became an itinerant preacher.
He never had a family or owned a house.
He never wrote a book. He never held an office. He
didn't go to college. He never visited a big city. He saw
neither the highest mountain nor the largest ocean.
He never traveled two hundred, miles from the place
where he was born. He did none of the things one usually
associates with greatness. He had no credentials but himself.
He was only thirty-three when the tide of public opinion
turned against him. His friends ran away. Some even denied
having known him. He was turned over to his enemies for a
price and went through the mockery of a trial. False witnesses
testified against him.
He was nailed, to a cross between two thieves. He asked
for water and was given vinegar to drink. While he was dy-
ing, his executioners gambled for his clothing, the only pro-
perty he had on earth. When he was dead, he was laid in a
borrowed grave, the gift of a friend's pity.
Nineteen centuries have come and gone, and today he is
the central figure of the human race and the leader of man-
kind's progress. All the armies that ever marched, all the
navies that ever sailed, all the parliaments that ever sat, all
the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not affected
the life of man so much as that ONE SOLITARY LIFE.

which, by the way are not the
flowers but the pointed leaves of
the plant. The flower portion is
yellow.
Dr. Tom Sheehan, ornamental
horticulturist with the Florida Ag-
ricultural Experiment Stations,
says if you're going to use poinset-
tias around the home they should'
first be "treated" to coagulate the
plant's milky sap. This cuts down
on the problem of wilt.
The plant can be treated two
ways. Place the cut end of each

THE PARROTT KIDS
Dear Santa Claus,
Well, here we are again writing
you a list of toys to bring us. Is it
cold up there in the North Pole?
You remember my name is Doug-

stem in hot water for about a min-
ute. Then place it immediately in
cold water, Sheehan said. Be sure
not to let the steam from the hot
water damage the leaves.
Another way to treat poinsettias,
according to Dr. Sheehan, is to
"singe" the cut endl of the stem
over a flame for a second or wto.
Then place the stem in cool water.
The flowers should be stored in
a cool place and cut at least a day
and a half. to two days before put-
ting them out in arrangements.
The flowers will stay- fresh for
around three days if they'er treat-
ed, and can be prolonged another
day or two by adding "plant nutri-
ents" to the water, Sheehan says.
Don't place the flowers near an
air duct, heater or the fireplace
since they will dry and wilt quickly.

I Unle an old friend, you cannot rely upon an old prescrip-
ton to do a thorough Job... especially the same one for
which it was originally Intended. Drugs lose their potency
over a number of years and some Increase in strength
through evaporation. Not only might a drug prove ineffec.
tive but It may be dangerous as well. Adverse storage condi.
tions could also affect theprescription. Chemical changes
can occur within the liquid, capsule or tablet. Then, too,
there is the constant danger of a child reaching for an old
prescription. Thinking It's candy... or simply Imitating you
...he might swallow the contents. The results may be tragic.
NeVer depend upon a prescription lasting forever. Let your
doctor re-prescribe for your'present condition... after all
he is the experts And once you have regained your health,
always destroy the remainder of your prescription.

been scheduled for Eglin Military
Reservation beginning December
16 and continuing through January
1. The either-sex hunt in which
both buck and doe may be taken
will be restricted to the Eglin main
base, an area of approximately


east


Archers participating in the spe-
cial hunt will be required to poss-
ess a regular hunting license plus
the special Eglin Air Force hunt-
ing permit. Hunters will be re-
quired to check in and out of a
check station located at the inter-


Eglin North Gate Road.
Archers will be issued a special
tag upon checking in. This tag is
to ,be attached to any deer taken
during the special hunt and tags
not used must be returned. All
deer killed during the hunt must
be shecked out at the check station.
A daily bag limit of one deer has
been established for the special
either-sex hunt; however, deer kill-
ed will not count toward the total
season bag limit since the primary
purpose of the special archery hunt
is to reduce the number of deer in
this particular area.
An earlier either-sex archery
hunt on Eglin, October 21 No-
vember 5, resulted in a total of 47
deer. The regular archery hunt pro-
duced eight buck deer and a spe-
cial either-sex gun hunt on Decem-
ber 10 resulted in 48 hunters tak-
ing ten doe and six buck deer. To-

State Fire Marshall Warnm


State Treasurer-State Fire Mar-
shall Broward Williams reminds
Floridians that fire precautions in
the home should be doubled dur-
ing the holiday season.
. "Many of our traditional Christ-
mas customs trees, colored
lights and decorations add to
the fire hazards in the home," he
said. "Sometimes a combination of
active children and preoccupied
parents allows the one moment of
carelessness which is all that fire
needs."
In order that your Christmas
may not end in tragedy, follow
these suggestions from the State


Fire Marshal: (1) Saw off the trunk
of your tree at a sharp angle an
inch or more above the original
cut. (2) Stand the tree in water
until it is brought into the house,
and keep it in water until it leaves
the house. (3) Support the tree
firmly, keeping it well away from
sources of heat. (4) Don't rely on
self-applied chemical coatings or
solutions to "flameproof" a natur-
al tree; none is completely effec-
tive. However, trees commercial-
ly treated with Underwriters' Lab-
oratories (UL) listed fire retar-
Oant compounds are satisfactory.
(5) Use only indirect lighting with
metal trees, .as they may be a

Lt. D. P. Starr of Tallahassee, ca-

laxed to call for women between
18 and 30 years of age, single,
without dependents, in good health

lency.
Applicants must enlist for three

TOWN"OF

BETHLEHEM
Every Christmas, as pil-
grims gather in Bethlehem
in the Holy Land to cele-
brate the Nativity, others
journey to- another Bethle-
hem for the same reason
... a Bethlehem right here
in the United States.
The town of Bethlehem,
Pennsylvania, was, named
after the original Bethle-
hem by Moravian settlers
in 1741. Members of 0+-
Moravian Church, they hid
fled persecution in the Old
World and with them
brought their beliefs and
customs, many of which are
still observed.


Holiday observances cen-
ter on the Children's Love
Feast and Christmas Eve
Vigil. Music plays an im-
portant part in the services
but the highlight of both
services is the moment
when sacristans enter ie
church, bearing trays of
lighted candles for all in
the congregation. The can-
dles are passed -on to the
worshipers and lights are
dimmed until the church is
aglow with hundreds of tiny
candle lights.
The making and decorat-
ing of these candles. is an-
other interesting Moravian
custom. The candlemakers
wear 18th century costumes
as they prepare the candles,
which are made of beeswax
and decorated with tissue in
a wide variety of colors.
Equally important is the
putz or idecoration-of chur-
ches and homes during the
holiday season. Many of
these displays feature piec-
es that area century old
and they range in size from
the top of a table to an en-
tire room. The putz is simi-
lar to the familiar .manger
scene but is far more elab-
orate.
It is one of the many
centuries-old customs that
make Christmas in Bethle-
hem, Pennsylvania so en-
Sjoyable for participant and
spectator alike.
These customs are en-
joyed by visitors to Bethle-
hem during the holidays
and often are an. unforget-
table experience.

Many Are Losing Social Security

Benefits, Do Not Understand Laws


Many working people age 62 and cording to John V. Carey, District

H can make up to $1500 a year
undr the present law and still re-
ceive all of his Social Security bnt-
nfits, Carey explained. Even if you
earn over $1500 some bnfits may
be payable. An individual who
aerns between $1500 and $2700 has
$1.00 in benefits withheld for ach
$2.00 h earns. If earnings go over
$2700, $1.00 is withheld from bene-
fitse ofr each $1.00 earned ovr
$2700.
Regardless of the total earnings
for the year, a worker eligible for
Social Security retirement or sur-
vivor's benefits can receive a check
for any month he does not earn
over $125.00 in wages or work in
self-employment, Carey continued.
Once an individual becoines age
72, he can receive all of his Social
Security benefits regardless of how
much he earns.
Many local people will not earn
over $1500 this: year and can re-
ceive all their benefits. Others can
receive some benefits, but an ap-
plication must be filed before bene-
fits can be paid to anyone.
Anyone age 62 or over who has
not filed a claim for Social Security
benefits should discuss his- case
with the local Social Security of-
fice. Failure to do this could result
in loss of benefits. The office for
this area is located at 1135 Har-


Hunting Better In '67 Than In '66


PANAMA CITY Hunting in
Northwest Florida is looking ahead
to greatly increased action' this
week end, now that heavy rains
have come to break a long dry,
warm Fall season and to brighten'
the outlook for the last half of the
season.
The rainfall over the past week
end averaged three and one-half
inches across the 16-county Third
Region, with some counties gett-
ing much more water. Hunting on
Sunday, December 10, was virtual-
ly drowned out throughout the
Panhandle.
Yet, 48 hunters braved the
downpour at Eglin Air Force Base
for the special one-day, either-sex
gun hunt, and bagged six bucks
and 10 female deer despite the
rain. Even with the loss of a prin-
cipal day's hunting, hunter success
elsewhere was about equal for the
week to the bag a year ago, reports
show.
The kill on 10 public hunt areas
in the Northwest Region for De-
cember 4 through December 10
was 80 deer, 19 wild turkey, 305
rison Avenue, Panama City 32401.
The office is open Monday through
Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
except on national holidays.

effort to see that the owner is pro-

handling to assure many years of
hunting pleasure. Santa may want
to clip or copy the following safety
rules and attach them to the stock
of the Christmas gun.
TEN COMMANDMENTS OF
FIREARM SAFETY
1. Treat every gun with the re-
spect due a loaded gun.
2. Watch that muzzle, carry your
gun safely.
3. Unload guns when not in use.
4. Be sure barrel is clear of ob-
structions.
5. Be sure of target before you
pull trigger.
6. Never point a gun at anything
you do not want to shoot.
7. Never climb a tree or fence or
jump a ditch with a loaded
gun.
8. Never shoot a bullet at a flat
hard surface or water.
9. Store guns and ammunition
separately.
10. Avoid alcoholic beverages
before or during shooting.


Woods Burners
Can be Held
Liable for Damage
Persons convicted of carelessly
starting forest wildfires in Florida
can be held unable just as surely
as willful or malicious woods arson-
ists.
States Forester C. H. Coulter of-
fered the reminder this week as
the winter fire season approaches
with its extra challenge to Florida
Forest Service fire-fighting crews.
"Nine out of 10 forest wildfires
in Florida are started by people,"
Coulter pointed out. "Too many of
the nine are sparked by careless
people carelessness involved
in destructive wildfire can be pun-
ished by fire, imprisonment, or
both," he said.
Willful' setting of an unlawful
fire is punishable by up to $1000
fine and three years' imprisonment
or both. Malicious setting of an un-
lawful fire can carry up to five
years' imprisonment. Under Flor-
ida law, penalties can follow eit-
her carelessly or intentionally
starting a forest wildfire. Careles-
sly causing a wildfire subjects the
violator to as much as a $200 fine
or three months in prison or both.
Persons who unlawfully start
fires on land belonging to another
may face private damage suits for
recovery of loss. Moreover, Coul-
ter explained, the Florida Forest
Service can assess suppression
costs with the dollar amount de-
termined by the expense of con-
trolling the fire.
During 1966, the Florida Foresta
Service reported 43 per cent of r
total. 5,406 forest fires as caused
by carelessness largely by cam-
pers, smokers, and trash burners.
Arsonists were tagged with setting
45 per cent of the total. The other
12 per cent was caused by light-
ning or for other miscellaneous
reasons.
