Christmas Day 1968


The magic of the Christmas season is laying its hold
upon the land. On city streets silver bells ring calling
on us to give help to those less fortunate. The tinsel, the
lights and decorations, the holly wreaths are going up
and tens of millions of children know that Santa Claus is
coming to town. They hope that he will in some myster-
ious way visit their home in the shimmering silence of
the night before Christmas.
This is a time for children, and it is a time too 'for
all men and women in all lands to remember the wonder
of the Lord's birth on the first Christmas nearly 2,000
years ago. It is the power of this happening that puts
magic in this season and lends the light of hope and un-
derstanding to all the world's people.
Let this Christmas be for children-may it bring
them the warmth of a fire, the smell of a tree, the excite-
ment pf waiting for Santa's visit. Let it bring visions of






Back in 1897, little Virginia O'Hanlon wrote the fol-
lowing letter to the editor of the New York Sun: "I am 8
years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa'
Claus. Papa says, 'If you see it in the Sun-it's so'.
Please tell, me the truth-is there a Santa Claus?" The
editor wrote a newspaper and literary classic in reply to
this childish plea. It is reprinted here.

"Yes, indeed!
"Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have
been affected by the scepticism of a sceptical age-they
do not believe except what they see-they think that noth-
ing can be which is not comprehensible by their little
. minds. .

"All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or chil-
dren's, are little.
"In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect,
an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless
world about him, as measured by the intelligence cap-
able of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.
"Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.
"He exists as certainly as love and generosity and
devottiot exist,- and yilibRow"that they 'abound andgive
to. t dylrife is-"lgheSgt-beauity ad joy,. Alas! how dreary
would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would
,be as dreary Al if there were no Virginias. There would
be no childish faith then, no poetry, no romance to make
tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment

We still have hope for our nation and the world, as un
long as Christmas remains the supreme of holi-and holy- sit
days in our thinking. This is one season one testi- pro
mony to our christianity as a nation that has not been chal- ter

sibilities of those 'who do not.or refuse to believe that there pja
is a Supreme God. pa
If the day should ever come when people like Mrs. mi
Madelyn Murray of Boston who successfully caused the usi
cessation of prayer in school, could effectively curtail the
the national observance of the birth of our Saviour, then the
we as a nation and as individuals would have the most sor- an

"The Riseof Communs In .S.A.
by ARTHUR W. McFADDEN


Many years ago' Stalin said:
"Give me the minds of the young
and I'll have a Communist' world
in twenty years."
In keeping with Stalin's the-
ory, the American educational
system was another major target
for Communist penetration. How
well, and deep ly Americanw
schools were infiltrated is best
shown by a partial chronological
record of events:
July 2-7, 1950: The National
SEducation Association adopted
' an amendment barring Commu-
nists From membership and also
adopted a resolution stating that
Communists should 'be barred
from teaching. -.
July 8, 1951: The California
Senate Fact-Finding Committee,.
on Un-American Activities, in a
voluminous report, charged that
in the most populous cities in
California there were units of


the Labor Youth League at every
large high school, state college
and university, and that, the La-,
bor Youth League .was' nothing
more or less than the Young
Communist League of the Unit-,
ed States of. America operating
under another name. The com-'
knittee found that Communist
Party units had been functioning
for a number of years at the
University of Southern Califor-
nia, Stanford University, and at
the larger high schools in key
cities throughout California.
March 3, 1951: The New York:
legislature found that members
of subversive groups, particu-
larly the Communist Party, had
been infiltrating into the public
schools, and were using their po-
sitions to advocate and teach
Communist doctrine.
As a result of this investiga-
tion, the New York Feinburg


Law was passed' and wbuld pre-
vent members of subversive or-.-
ganizations from teaching in the
New York public schools.
April 2, 1951: Testimony by
former Communist Herbert Rom-
;erstein before the Senate Inter-'.
nal Security Subcommittee re-
vealed that Communists' formed
"Young Progressives of Ameri-
ca" clubs in 13 Brooklyn high
schools.
March 10, 1953: Dr. Bella V.
Dodd; former Communist teach-
er an active Communist Party
member, in thestimoriy before
the above committee, stated that


Communists had infiltrated the
schools, the New York State Of-
fice of Education, the Nevw Yorl
City Board of Education, congres-
sional offices and investigating
committees, and presidential ad-
visory committees. According to
Dr. Dodd, Communist strength
in the Teacher's Union in New
"York City never exceeded 1,000
but that they were able to in-
fluenace, in varying degrees, the
other 10,000 members.
It was not only in New York
State that investigating commit-
'tees uncovered Communist pen-
etration of the public education-
al 'systems. TIn the larger cities
of the United States Communist
infiltration was found to 'exist.
Many .colleges and universities
dismissed teachers because of
Communist Party affiliation.

i any communities have, within
eir boundaries some potentially
e outdoor education areas. What
more, most facilities cain be made
erative at relatively low costs.
Excellent learning opportunities
y exist on either the planned or
planned portions of a school
e. The undeveloped parts of a.
operty generally offer the best
*rain for establishing instruc-
nal programs. But lawns, land-
ape plantings, patios, courts- and
aygrounds also can be integral
rts of the total plan.
It takes much planning and
uch cooperation to attain full
e of an outdoor laboratory, but
e efforts are certainly within
e capabilities of most teachers
d school administrators.
What, then, is a "school land
oratoryy?
It can be any property controlled
the board of education' that is
adily accessible to students and
at 'may be :used to enrich learn-
g about soil and water relation-
ips and plant and animal life.
A land laboratory may vary in
;e from a smal larea close around
school building to an expanse
many acres.
Land laboratories can be used
r pupils and teachers at all grade
vels." There are usually oppor-
nities for nature study, for ob-
rving the effects of plants and
imals on each other, for grow-
g plants, and for many kinds of
perimentation. All of this can
coupled with developing an ap-
eciation for the out-of-doors. ,
A preliminary site study should
e made whether or not the po-
ntial laboratory is in the city or
untry. This can best be done by
professional in soil ,and water
management, a local school admin-
trator, and interested teachers.

By WESLEY R. RAMSEY


You can sure'tell it's Christmas around our house. There has
been nothing but cooking going on for the past three days and
sandwiches. are the bill of fare, because "we don't have time to fix
meals with all this Christmas cooking to do". Three women in the
kitchen ought to provide at least a hot bowl of soup- once in a while-
in between the cookies, cakes, pies, candy, etc.
We've been getting in shape for, Christmas eating for the past
three weeks 7- or at least trying to. Christmas, dinners mean an-
other five pounds or so to the old waistline, so one m~st--or should
-'take it off, in advance, in" expectation of putting it back on., As
we said, we TRIED to"get in shape for Christmas, but couldn't quite
make the grade.
When a fellow gets drafted into nut-picking and date cutting,
and fig cutting, and fruit cutting service, he can't very well sample
his efforts and "get in shape for Christmas eating" all at the same
time. -
So, it looks like, even if we didn't lose it in advance, we're
going to gain it all back .-or sQmething like that.
This Christmas is especially welcomed by us, since we must
ma9 un for two years tomorrow. Last Christmas we spent in the
hospital; and \even though Port St. Joe's Municipal Hospital is the '
best nlace to be on Christmas if, you can't be at home, one still misses -
out on a lot. Doctors and nurses 'out there make sure you "get in
shape" by refusing to give you more than just enough to eat.
While at home, both the kitchen and dining room tables are
fairly groaning with their task of holding up a sumptious repast-
enough for several days to come."

Speaking of Christmas eating .. we now know why Santa
Claus is so fat. When we were setting up the type for the "Letters
to Santa Claus" in this 'week's issue we noted that a great number
of the kids were leaving Santa some fruit cake, milk, (ugh) coffee,
etc. If Santa eats the goodies provided for him at every home, one
can't help but see how he is able to keep his pleasingly plump fig-
'ure. .
But; like Santa, all us pleasingly plump people 'are extra jolly.
Did you ever notice that?

We had a little extra special Christmas present Friday morn-
ing while driving to work.
There is a 'squirrel that lives in the vicinity of the Chato and
back a month or two ago, we would see this squirrel crossing
Highway 98, up above the street on a telephone chhle.
About the time of the opening of hunting season, the squirrel
disappeared. We didn't see him any more. We figured some-
body had either killed 'the squirrel, or he had -been run. over by
a car and killed.
r.Friday morning, there e was again, as aqile as ever, running
Across Highway 98 in front of the bank on his, telephone line.

It looks like, by reading the papers, that the-crew of thq Pueb-.
' lo will make it home for Chritmas. ,Rumors-are getting thick and .
furious' that the North -Koreans are going ,to turn them 'loose in
time for the holidays.
That "Christmas spirit" is powerful medicine isn't it .. if it
will effect the heart and conscious of atheists."' '
We hope the three that took off for the moon Saturday morn-
, ing make it back for New Year's.


May Santa bring you the gifts
'of good cheer, good health

Mrs. Dave Jones Hostess to Monday
Night Meeting of Xi Epsilon- Kappa


Xi Epsilon Kappa Chapter ofI
Beta Sigma Phi met Monday night
December 16 in the home of Mrs'.
Dave Jones. The meeting was con-
ducted by vice-president, Mrs. Wil-
liam Rish, in the absence of the
president.
During the business meeting two
letters were read that were of in-
terest to all members. The first
was a thank you letter from James
Young, a serviceman in Dong Ha,
Vietnam, to whom the Sorority had
sent a Christmas package,. His let-
ter made the members all feel that
this was one of their most worth-
while projects.
The other letter was an invita-
tion from the Panama City chap-
.ter of Beta Sigma Phi to join them
for their Valentine Ball in Febru-
ary. The invitation was accepted
with pleasure.
Ways and means chairman, 'Mrs.
Robert Nedley reported that the
cook book sale has been complet-
ed and was a very successful pro-
ject.
At the conclusion of the busi-
ness, the meeting was turned over
to Mrs. Don Grossman who pre-
sented' a program very much in


keeping with the season of the
year, It was designed to make
everyone- "slow down and take
stock" during this hectic period.
After the program the meeting
was adjourned and a delightful so-
cial hour followed.

Williams Warns of Yule Fire Hazard


TALLAHASSEE-Florida Trea-
surer-Fire Marshal Broward Wil-
liams warned this week that dec-
orated Christmas trees are a'poten-
tial and ever-present source of
deadly fires.
"As beautiful and symbolic as
they are," he said, "Christmas trees
that catch fire can turn a holiday
wreath into a funeral wreath. The
gaiety of Christmas can turn into
the somberness of a funeral unless
the proper precautions are taken."
Among the precautions he listed
were:
: e- Don't rely upon self-applied
chemical coatings or solutions to
flameproof a natural tree. Trees
commercially treated with Under-
writers Laboratories-approved fire
retardant compounds are satisfac-
tory.
Artificial trees need care in
selection and handling. Use the
type clearly marked as made of
slow-burning materials.
All electrical equipment for
trees should carry the UL label.
Check -all electrical equip-
m e n t for proper connections,
frayed wires, and broken sockets.
Don't use wax candles on or
near trees.
Don't leave the Christmas tree
lights burning after iTaving the
house or retiring for the night.
In addition, he said, avoid toys
operated by alcohol, kerosene or
gasoline; don't use polystyrene
foam for 'candle holders or 'near
candles; dispose of gift wrappings
promptly and safely; and supervise
small children playing near the
Christmas tree.


Unusual Xmas
Gifts Are Given
TALLAHASSEE An unusual
Christmas gift has been purchased
for a number of Florida out-of-
doors enthusiasts-to the surprise
of the Florida Park System.
The gift is a year's free camp-
ing for the entire family in Flor-
ida State Park campgrounds.
State Parks Director Bill Miller
said the Park System received nu-
merous requests to issue the 1969
annual camping- permit during No-
vember instead of the usual Jan-
uary 1.
A study of the requests showed
most people wanted to give the
camping permits as Christmas pre-
sents.
Miller noted, however, that some
purchasers wished to use the per-
mits to take camping trips over the
Christmas holidays. As the 1968
permits expire December 31, the
campers need a 1969 permit to con-
tinue camping after Jan. 1.
The annual 'camping passes,
available only to Florida residents
are sold at all state parks that of-
fer camping as well as at the Tal-
lahassee Park System headquar-
ters. The cost is $35, plus tax.
Campers 'without the permit pay
$2.50 per night per camp site.

in the community to assist proba-

tasks.
More important, it is hoped that
the program will enable persons on
probation or parole to more easily
adjust to normal civilian life.
Perry Wells, the Bay-Gulf Coun-

mission, said that any mature adult
with a knack for getting along
with others wold be ideal for the
program. I
- The tremendous workload faced
by all parole and probation offi-

For Bay and Gulf counties, Wells
and Officer Don McCormick handle
about 65 cases each, taking care
of the piles of paperwork and
hours of consultation reuqired as
part of their duties.
The job-of the volunteers will be
to make available each month sev-
eral hours of time in which they
can chat with the paroled individ-
ual to whom they will be assigned.
"We definitely don't want the
volunteers to be thought of as
spies," Wells asserted. "Much the

said.
"The competition is fierce at the
Point", Atchison said. This is due
to two reasons: because the main
course West Point is teaching is
"competition" and because the
best things come to those with
the best averages in all areas.
"The mission of the point is to
make officers who can make de-
cisions, weighing all the possibili-
ties, and an officer who can be
depended upon to "tell it like it
is" when the time arrives", Atchi-
son said.
Guests of the club were Gene

guest Rocky Comforter.

School Spending

Up To Average
Spending for public education
at all levels in Florida came to
$971.6 million during the fiscal
year 1966-67, 'the Florida State
Chamber of Commerce reported in
its weekly business review re-
leased last week "end.
This sum was 12 per cent over
1966 compared with a 15 per cent
increase nation wide. Further in-
creases have been registered in
Florida this year following the ex-
pansion of school budgets by the
legislature.
The Florida school costs last
-year included $643.6 million for
the operation of regular public
schools (up 11 per cent); $94.8
million for new buildings and
equipment for these schools (up 16
per cent); $29.2 million for spec-
ialty schools for the handicapped
(up 32 per cent); '$145.1 million
for the operation of state univer-
sities and junior colleges (up 12
per cent); and $58.9 million for
capital outlay at these institutions
(upi 10 per cent).
On a per capital basis, all public
education in Florida costs each
Floridian $162 during the year.
Relating this per capital figure to
per capital income, Floridians spent
approximately the same proportion
of their 'incomes for schools as
was spent on an average through-
out the nation.
Personal income of Floridians
moved up 8 per cent last year
while income increased 6 per cent
nationally.
These figures are from official
reports and include all state and
local, funds, plus federal aid for
school lunches and impacted area
aids.
