Wayne Cross of Port St. Joe, was taken to the 1 Iunicipal Hos- pital by a Prevatt Ambulance on. Christmas, Eve with cuts about the head as the result of a two vehicle collision about 3:00 p.m. :on Tuesday of last week. According to Highway Patrol- man Ken Murphy, the accident. occurred near the intersection of 'Highway 98 and State- Road 30- .A, seven-tenths of a. mile South of Port St. Joe. Albert Mills of Apalachicola, was driving a 1958 sedan toward Port St. Joe and came up behind a slow moving truck. Mills start- .,ed .around thie&tuck. and -met Cross, driving his Sunbeam bread truck, coming 'from the opposite direction. ., .. , Both Cross and Mills decided to avoid the impending accident by leaving the side of the road. The delivery van and the auto- mobile met about six feet off' the pavement. Mills was charged with impro- per passing. Estimated damages to both vehicles was set at $600.00. Port St. Joe Patrolman James Pickron and Deputy Sheriff H. T. Dean assisted Murphy in his investigation. And Monument Chief of Police H. W. Griffin told The Star Monday that the past holiday week end was one' of the quietest on record, so far as he can remember.

The accident happened at the intersection of Third Street Sand Monument Avenue. Mrs. Eula B. Walker of 311 Duval Street, Oak' Grove was travelling South on Monument on. the inside lane, preparing to Smoke a left turn into Third' Street. According to the report, Woodrow Pryor of 164 Avenue C, overtook the Walker vehicle' from behind and started to pass crossing' the solid center line,. striking the, Walker vehicle on the left front fender as she made her turn.

THIRTY-SECOND YEAR PORT ST JOE, FLORIDA, 32456 TUESDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1968 THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Florida TUESDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1968 In browsing through a magazine the other day, we came across an item about the late Nicholas Murray But- ler. Who's he you say? So did we. But the late Mr. But-' ler was a former president of Columbia University, that institute of higher learning now so torn by strife and rebellion. He was President of the institution for over forty years, a Nobel Peace Prize winner and at one time a candidate for the Vice-Presidency of the United States. Butler was surely scheduled for anonymity until re- cent shenanigans at Columbia resurrected his memory. How can one operate a university on a dignified plane and be a former Vice-Presidential candidate and expect not to be forgotten? Butler was considered the foremost college executive of his time, with a dignity that awed faculty and students alike. When he spoke educators everywhere listened! He set up five tests of "the evidence" of an education: "Correction and precision in the use of the mother tongue; refined and gentle manners, the result of fixed, habits of thought and action; sound standards of appreciation of beauty and worth, and a character based on these stan- dards; power and habit of reflection;, efficiency, or the power to do." EYaoi'R PAGE TWO Probably quite a few of today's students (and adults) would have flunked these tests; some, however, would have rated high on the "power to do" part. In Dr. Butler's day Columbia students were expected to be gentlemen but, as he once observed, this could be difficult at times for, "One of the embarrassments of being a gentleman is that you are not permitted to be violent in asserting your rights. This is one point we would' like to make concerning the new year of 1970 which will be ushered upon the scene tonight at 12:01. The new year might just .conceivably be a better year if we all try our best to be "gentlemen" about all things. It's true that some of the sensationalism which we have come to expect so often of late, will sort of die out if we assume this credo of Mr. Butler's. The day and the year may seem sort of "ho-hum" after the excite- ment of our more outspoken years. But if we would try harder during the coming year, to be gentlemen in our every dealing, we would find an unusual atmosphere dawn- ing. in our nation. The energies now wasted with need- less bickering can no doubt engender all kinds of .progress. This all sounds good, but we all know it will never U .4 Editorials -, Be "Gentlemen" About All Things Florida Local Taxes Pass the $2 Billion Mark Taxes and other revenue collect- ed by the Florida state govern- ment and by all local governments together, passed the two billion dollar mark for the first time last year, the Florida State Chamber of Commerce stated in its Weekly Business Review released yester- day. These Florida taxes tallied to $2,196.100,000, an increase of 12 per cent over the previous year and 50 per cent more than five years ago. Only state county, dis-.. trict and municipal taxes, licenses, fees, etc., are included in this to- tal. The comparable' increases in these taxes nationwide 'were nine per cent and 41 per cent respect- ively. ' State and local taxes may be classified roughly under three headings; property, consumer-type and fees. In Flqrida, taxes paid on real, personal and intangible property came to $878.4 million last year, 16 per cent more than during the previous year. Consu- mer-type taxes totaled $967.8 mil- lion, up seven per cent. Fees, li- * censes and the like came to $549.9 million, an increase of 18, per cent. In terms of each Floridian's share, this tax total meant $366 for each man ,woman and child, 11 per cent over the previous year. Twenty-eight states had a higher tax than did Florida. The national average was $385 last year.

One principle of the Communist Party is to create incidents, and then enlarge those incidents by, clever propaganda. It matters not whether a person is black; white or green; if they can use' .color or nationalist" to c-v", hate, confusion and violence, they will take advantage of 'any cause. happen. An Accepted Fact of Life A New York restaurant has celebrated its 100 years of operation by serving meals for one day at their 1868 prices. Here is the 100-year-old price list: corned beef and cabbage, 4 cents; veal cutlet, 5 cents; beef steak, 4 cents; roast chicken, 10 cents; pie, 2 cents; coffee, 1 cent. Dur- - ing its one-day centenial observance, the restaurant lost $5,000 for one very obvious reason. The meal that cost 12 cents a hundred years ago is now $9.50. Another indica- tion of the decline in the value of the doll r is the current "living wage" which is estimated at about $125 per week for an' average Americaif family. In 1904, a Committee of. the Chicago Bureau of Charities agreed that no family could live comfortably on less than one .dollar a week per capital. While the foregoing .statistics may appear irrelevant today, they do serve to illustrate a fact about the U.S. economic system that few seem to appreciate. That fact '/" ) - is that in spite of inflation, living standards have risen uninterruptedly year after year as a result, of increasing productivity. The rise of mass production and mass dis- tribution in a free competitive market have been the ma- jor contributing factors in preserving the purchasing pow- er of the dollar. Many years ago, the nation's more progressive retail- ers introduced the merchandising philosophy of moving the greatest possible volume of goods at minimum prices. This philosophy is basic to the merchandising system to- day. It has been a logical development of the free market. Our competitive mass distribution system is the surest guarantee that consumers will continue to enjoy maximum benefits of high productivity. Fortunately, a hundred years ago freedom in the marketplace was an accepted fact of life. If we, ae wise, we will accept it.as a fact of life today-and seek to protect it against the invasion of over-regulation. "The Rise of Communism In U.S.A." by ARTHUR W. McFADDEN A thorn was plunged into the sidWe of the Communist Party when on September 20, 1950, the U. S. Congress passed the Inter- 'nal Security Bill. This bill pro- vided that: , (1) All Communists were re-. quired to register with the De- partment of Justice; (2) all "'front" organizations and their -officers were also required to. re- gister; (3) provisions were made for the iriternYnent of potential saboteurss and. spies in time of '*ar, insurrection, or Invasion; (4) all Communist groups were' required to report their finan- eFal activities and label their' propaganda (5) C o m m u nists J would be denied Federal jobs and passports; (6) subversive aliens would be deported; (7) the statute of limitations on espion- age, would be extended from 3 to 10 years, and (8) a five-man '"subversive activities control board," designated by the Presi- .,dent, would administer the act. However, on September 22nd, President Truman vetoed the bill. Within an hour of the Pres- ident's veto, the House of Rep- resentatives over-rode the veto and on the following day-the Senate took similar action. The Communist Party immed- ,Iately started their propaganda *.against the bill and labeled it a "blueprint for racism," After Stalin's death of MiarM i 5, 1953, 'the CPUSA again be- came embroiled in factional dis- putes 'and bickering. The unrest in the Party continued. In Rus- sia a struggle also ensued in the :power' structure with Khrush- chev. coming out on top as Pre- mier of, the Soviet Union. After Stalin's death the strug- .gle for power within the Soviet, Union threatened the control over the Communist Parties out- THE STAR Pubiirhed Every Thursday at 306 Williams Avenue, Port St. Joe, Florida, By The Star Publishing Company WESLEY I.

Many Com- n.unists resigned from party or- ganizations, and others called for independence from Moscow. Stalin's death had a profound effect-on the Communist Party, USA. Thousands of' American Communists left the party. Those who remained loyal to the Party were divided into factions. 'On November 9, 1957, in New *York, the Communist Party, USA held its 16th Convention. The differences between the various leaders in the CPUSA were set- tied. One faction led by John 'Gates was dissatisfied with party ideology and policies. The main grievance was the intervention of Russian troops in Ithe Hungar- ian 'Revolt. This group wanted complete autonomy from Mos- cow. William Z. Foster, who had been the Communist Party lead- er since 1945, and his followers followed the Moscow line and di- rectives, regardless of who was in power. Eugene Dennis finally, joined Foster's faction and at the convention they defeated Gates. The CPUSA was still controlled by Foster under'the guidance of b- . the Communist International. A new Constitution was adopted. The CPUSA was again on solid ,ground. The-new constitution earnestly started the Communist Party on the road which we, in the United States see the results daily, Article VI, Section 7, of. the constitution reads: "It shall be the obligation of all Party members to struggle against all forms of national op- pression, national chauvinism, discrimination and segregation against all ideological influences and practices of 'racial theories' such' as. white chauvinism and anti-Semitism. It shall be the duty of -alli Party members to fight for full social, political and economic equality of the Negro people and promote the unity of the Negro people and white peo- ple as essential for the advance- ment of their common interests." Was this a sincere belief'on the, part of the Communists, or. were they merely going to put into effect a policy whereby they could cause unrest and insurrec- tion? The Communists used Ne- groes 'as dupes in the past, and now they intended to again at- tempt to 'put a theory into rea- lization. To fully understand the part played by the Negro in the Communist scheme we must stu- dy it frQom its beginning. Thru- out the 'years the Communist Pafty has attempted to cause armed resistance in the United F'lsm~.l- --~ I -I- " ] i.. ':..

After thq big build-up, the Christmas season is over. But we weren't disappointed. 'It took two tables to serve and seat everybody at our house on Christmas day, and we are still nibbling on the left-overs, even at this, late date, but the Christmas season was a good one at our house. All the kids were home along with the two in-laws our children have acquired-and our one, lone grandson. To tput it mildly, one 'lone grandson in the midst of a grandmother, great grandmother, two aunts, and two aunts-in-law not to mention occasionally an uncle or two and a grandfather, lives the life of a king. I didn't think grandson had to whimper once during the entire week. . A word of wisdom for the New Year-Benjarnin Franklin once said, "It is not always easy to say the right thing at the right time but it is far more difficult to leave unsaid the wrong thing at a tempting moment." Walking up and down Reid Avenue Thursday morning, we observed that some merchants were counting what was left froni the year of business, getting ready for the income/ tax filing A time. Others were busily faking down the Christmas decorations and putting them away for another year., Nothing looks so good'- as Christmas decorations put in place, and nothing looks quite so "let down" as Christmas decorations being taken down. Merchants, as a whole, reported a very good holiday busi- ness here in Port St. Joe. We like that. Nothing builds a town into a community that can serve the needs of its' people quite so fast as people doing their buying in their home town. Those who claim, "you- can't find anything in 'downtown, stores" are only aggravating the situation by going out of town for their pur- chases before they try to make them locally. A second reason for' taking stock" of what is left on the shelf is to see what didn't move so well during the year and cur- tail the buying of that item next year. Ah obvious step. 1 Tak. ing a slow mover'"out of circulation makes it more difficult to find what you want in a small town, but a merchant can't con- tinue to stock what he does not have a demand for. So don't blame the merchant if you can't find it in Port St. Joe. Blame yourself for not demanding that it be available in Port St. Joe by asking for it. The Antigo,k Wisconsin "Journal" recently stated, "When has the average youth been given so many years to learn and inquire, so much leisure to explore and experience, so many opportunities to realize his full potential? When have the young ever spoken witl~ such authority and been listened to with such respect? Full of faults America is-but When have the young ever had more chance, and more hope, of doing something about correcting them? Perhaps the prospect is too much for them. Perhaps the fault,lies not with the"'system' but with themselves. Perhaps they are simply still too young."

HAPPY 'NEW YEAR TO ALL! Dear Friends: "What Happened to. The Tattler?" The writer has had this query from some old (and young) local readers as well as those receiving The Star in several states. For some reason they were kind enough to ,read our Tattle a number of years ago .. when we worked more and fished less! Well, my good friends, we'll not bore you with a detailed answer (it could be 'a lengthy epistle). It's just a case of being absorbed in theirr things; fishing prominently included. A lot of time and effort can be used to locate and out- wit a fish. In fact it seems to be getting even more difficult of late. So thought we'd just take a breathing spell and think about the coming New Year,'giving The Tattler a chance to breathe again. " A compact review of 1968 in our limited thought area reveals'- the fact the year :has been exciting, interesting and kind to us in many ways, How and why? Well, we'll try to spot below a few of the most significant reasons we say this year has been a great one: 1. Reasonably good health, a good home 'on beautiful St. Jo-i seph's Bay, loved ones, friends and patrons. 2. The happy privilege of rendering service to the folks in! Port St. Joe and surrounding area. We are able to say with depth; of feeling: You are the best folks in the wide world to us! You've really been swell!!! I 3. Ability to bear the heartaches and disappointments along with the year's benefits s and pleasures. These are hazardous, trout bled and 'tragic times. We consider ourselves most fortunate to have come through with reasonable safety and security. 4. Day by day -the pleasant greetings and warm smiles of our friends' and acquaintances serve to strengthen and reinforce our hope and faith in that side of humanity which is good and true. You may conclude the foregoing is limited 'in scope of realities and long on emotions. However, my friends, the simple thoughts from Number One through Number Four represent to us vital parts of what life is all about. Some may say that living, working and doing business these days is cold, cruel and heartless. This may be true in some instances, but we cling to the belief that far greater and more lasting impacts of/life are .made by friendly, honest, sincere.folks in all walks of life. They go about distributing these qualities and simple modesty, and with due regard for all members of humanity. A closing thought for this paragraph could be: Will we bq among those counted in this group in 1969? Sufficient num- bers could lessen the woes of this turbulent, warring world. We are contemplating the making of one New Year's Resolu- tion, namely: "We resolve to observe more caution in the matter of making promises and more diligence in fulfilling all promises made." It occurs to me that a sad book could be written on the subject of "Broken Promises", small, medium and large. We would prefer to write about the cheerful side, "Promises Fulfilled". Again "Happy New Year To All". May your blessings be abun- dant. S'long. -RGB. P.S.-Warm New Year Greetings from the Sunshine State to our friends (receiving The Star) in North Carolina and Virginia, California, et cetera, et cetera. Suggest you retire in Florida.

Nine Deaths Are Predicted by Patrol TALLAHASSEE-The Florida Highway Patrol this week pre. dicted nine traffic deaths for the New Year's holiday period, and urged resolution minded drivers to top their list with traffic safety. Colonel H. N. Kirkman, Direc- tor of the Department of Pub. lic Safety said, "If you' are in- clined to make resolutions for the New Year, start with the vow to be safety conscious be- hind the wheel and start with the first holiday of the New Year." The official holiday period be. gins at 6 p.m., Tuesday, Decem- ber 30, and ends midnight, Jan- uary 1. If the Patrol's prediction is correct there will be one traffic death every 3.3 hours over the relatively short 30-hour holiday period. Kirkman concluded by saying, "If you fail to keep this partic. ular resolution, you may not have to worry about keeping any others." &666 THESE PUMPKIN TARTS happen almost as quickly as Cinder- ella's coach did its disappearing act, and you don't even need a magic wand.

Each year the drug industry Invests millions of dollars In research'to support the nearly 800 million prescriptions filled yearly by pharmacists throughout the country. This investment results in new "wonder drugs" which let us live our lives longer, healthier. Of the 275 million dollars invested last year more than 130 million dollars went for quality control research. Improved precision measuring and compounding instruments were developed to make even more certain you receive exactly what your doctor prescribes. And the investment also went for developing improved methods of production. As the methods of manu. facturing improve, the price of the bulk drug decreases This saving is passed on to you in lower prescription prices, The "gold pill" of yesterday is purchased today for a nomi- nal amount. Thus, a conscientious, developing industry works to improve the service and quality of the pharmaceu. ticals you receive today and tomorrow.

"Always on Sunday" by Michael David Harris 4is an-intimate off- stage portrait of Ed Sullivan. It is full of anecdoes both pro and con, seeks to explain his success by re- vealing the complex, paradoxical nature that is the single guiding force of the Ed Sullivan Show on TEN EARLY SYMPTOMS OF JUVENILE DELINQUENCY by PAUL HARVEY Reprinted from Jaycee's "Future" Magazine In Wheeling, West Virginia, there was a club for teen-age boys called the Pigeon.Killing Club. -Membership required that a boy put his hand over the barrel of a BB gun and take a solemn vow to kill pigeons--and never to show mercy to a wounded one. Parents found out about the club after one of, the young boys was found with his skull split from front to back and his throat slashed with Sa knife. The two charged with the murder were ring-leaders of the Pigeon Killing, Club, each 14 years old. Now the parents are asking them- selves what went wrong. Now they ask. I have thought for a long time that if parents knew how to recognize the early danger signs, it might help. I consulted with many people: sought the best judgment of experts. Aided by jurists, welfare workers, prison wardens; we enumerated, dis- tilled, and then spelled out the 10 signs that most generally point to trou- ble. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover was the final authority. He- approved the "10 symptoms" without change. - Here, then, are the 10 danger signs.to watch- for in the teen-age youth BEFORE they lead to big trouble. 1. Truancy 2. Evidences of alcohol or drugs on the breath, needle marks on arms 3. Cruelty to animals 4. Sloppy appearance or dress that exaggerates sex. In boys, uncut hair. In girls, skin-tight jeans ' 5. Unexplained cuts, scratches, bruises - 6. Unexplained late hours 7. Appearance of strange articles that -ere riot purchased 8. Possession of unnecessary wVeapons * 9. Flagrant disobedience .- 10. Friends he never brings home .. ... - Ten symptoms. If you recognize one in. your. child, look into it. If you recognize two, look out! .It is difficult for a loving parent to believe ill of his, or her; offspring. Some pof the:symptoms :may, therefore, shock some "good families" which had merely considered the. boy "high-spirited". / There's another symptom for 'parents to, understand. Mrs. William Schlenger, president of the Grammar School PTA in Long Branch, N. J., conducted a survey. She telephoned numbers at ran- dom from the Long Branch directory intending to ask parents: "Do you know where your child is right now?" In 64 percent of the cases, a. child answered and said he didn't know where his parents were! So, it is up to the parents. Even where they may not have to answer to the law, they will answer to some higher court the 4ay they suffer the anguish of a parent whose son or daughter is in trouble. Sooner or later the responsibility will come honia. ' INDEX CARDS, all sizes S CAR FKLES, wood & moefl.
