Christmas Gift


Christmas gift!
What does it mean? A pair of sox, maybe a tie, a
shirt, or a pair of shoes, some underwear, or maybe a toy
or two for the children? Could it mean a sumptuous din-
ner, parties, good fellowship, or, as was publicized last
week, a complete town for the person who has everything.
"Christmas" and "gift" do go together in spite of the
moan one hears each December that "Christmas is be-
coming too commercialized". Christmas is giving. Christ-
mas is receiving graciously. Christmas is unselfishness,
generosity and, too, appreciation.
We read of one gift, given for all men, which was given
at that time of the year which men call "Christmas". The
gift was given some 1,970 years ago and men have studied
it, thought about it, considered it, and too many have re-
jected it ever since.
In Luke, we read this about this gift: "This shall be
a sign to you; ye shall find the Babe wrapped in swaddling
clothes lying in a manger the shepherds said one to
another, 'Let us 'now go even unto Bethlehem, and see
this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath
made known unto us' ".
What's this? No gift wrapping? No shopping rush?
No tensil and lighted tree? What kind of a gift is it that
one can find in a stable wrapped up in rags? How can

. we appreciate something so ignominious as this? How can
one get in the "Christmas spirit" in such surroundings as
this?
If anything is really wrong with Christmas, it can
be found in the posing of those questions. While to us
Christmas is tensil, decorated trees, fancy decorations
and beautiful wrappings. We wouldn't for the world do
away with these things.
But for the gift that was given, we should do away
with these things, at least spiritually. Keep the frills, but
put them in their proper perspective. As the Bible says,
"What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world
and loses his own soul?"
So the true "Christmas gift" is that which lets a
man have a way to save his soul. That perfect gift given
for mankind, free, wrapped in rage, bedded down in a
pile of hay, but praised, sang about and worshipped by
millions.
THE "Christmas gift" ... during this season of
giving let us pause and reflect and receive that most pre-
cious of all gifts. When one must choose between own-
ing the world and saving one's soul, it shouldn't be a hard
choice to make. Remember, Christmas is also graciously
receiving that which is given.

Too Late To Classify s
by RUSSELL KAY


(Ed. note-The views reflected
by Mr. Kay in this column do
not reflect the views of this
newspaper on this matter.)
The name "Oklawaha" has lit-
tle meaning to most present day
Floridians, and even less to the
balance of the nation's popula-
tion, but to oldtimers like my-
self, it designates one of the
most appealing and beautiful
areas in this or any other state.
The Oklawaha is one of the
few remaining wild streams in
this country. Its beauty and
charm are unsurpassed over its
75 mile course through central
Florida. It twists and turns like


a beraved serpent, its dark wa-
ters overhung with heavy foliage
and festunes of Spanish moss. It
traverses a rich tropical area of
forest where wild life abounds.
Nature lovers have long ad-
mired it. Barbara Lawrence, cur-
ator of mammals at Harvard Un-
iversity says, "The region is
unique, biologically and estheti-
cally." Now it is about to be de-
stroyed in the name of progress
as it stands in the way of the
proposed Florida Cross State
Barge Canal. It is unfortunate
that God saw fit to create it in
its present location.
Every Floridian and every tax-


payer in the nation would do well
to inform themselves on this cost-
ly and questionable project. It
has already cost many millions
and gives promise of running into
billions before it is finished with
little indication that such an n-
vestment will prove worthwhile
from the standpoint of returns
on the investment.
I suggest that you read James
Nathan Miller's article entitled
"Rape on the Oklawaha" in the
current issue of the Reader's Di-
gest. It presents the most en-
lightening information on the
subject that I have found.
If the Congress, the President
and Governor Kirk are as con-
cerned with public welfare and
desirous as they claim to cut ex-
penditures, halt inflation and
find money to meet present day
needs they had better take a sec-
ond look at this Florida boondog-
gle and take steps to divert these
billions to better use.
While we cannot recoup the
millions already spent on this
questionable project we can
save many times more by calling
a halt right now. My guess is, if
we go on with this foolish pro-
ject and continue to spend tax-
payers money on it our unborn
children will have white whiskers
down to their knees before it
ever pays off. Read Mr. Miller's
article and think it over.
On the other hand we probably
have need for another waterway
to pollute. Such a canal ought
to make a magnificent refuse col-
lector. Then too we could spend
countless millions in an effort to
keep it clear of water hyaacinth
and provide another path for air
polluting boats and barges to
play in.
If we continue to destroy the
natural beauty and resources of
our state, the only place our
children can see such wild life
as alligators, herons, cranes,
bear, deer and other creatures
will be in a zoo. Few, if any,
will be found on the banks of a
barge canal.


I


I am undone, put out, disappointed, perturbed, unwound, crest-
fallen, and all that. One can't be as down in the dumps as I am and
still not'weep, wail and gnash his teeth down to the gums.


The opportunity I spurned. It's much like the split end who
has the football go right through his arms in the end zone when he
is all by himself. Like that player, I feel like jumping up and down
then lying down and beating the ground with my fist.
I missed the social event of the season. Most everybody who
was anybody were either there or witnessed it. But not me. The
golden hour slipped me by.
I missed Tiny Tim's wedding!
I should have seen it. I hear Tiny Tim was superb and
smart, to boot.
I guess Tiny Tim is the only man in marital history that wrote
his own ticket commonly referred to as "marriage vows".
Tiny Tim is evidently smart in other areas too. He knows how
to make money hand over fist (in his case it takes intestinal power
as well as brain power) and he even figured out how he could rake
in a bundle while getting married without marrying a rich girl
with a large dowry. It cost you and I to get married. Tiny Tim 0
was paid a handsome sum. N.
After seeing the error of my ways, if I had any hair, I would
let it grow long; and if I knew how to pick a mandolin I would
pick it.
Tiny Tim is living proof that you can sell anything if you pack-
age it right and advertise.

The newspapers carried a story the other day that over 200
teen agers died last year from using heroin. Teenagers, mind you
-not adults. The papers even carried a story the other day
where an 11-year-old boy in New York City died from an overdose
of drugs.
If one were to take into consideration the estimated number of
drug users in the teen-age bracket and do some dividing for per-
centages, you'would probably find that a larger percentage of teen
users died from drug abuse than died from the fighting in Vietnam
-considering the number in Vietnam.
Now if that "effete corps of intellectual snobs" really want to
do some good, they have a ready-built cause to work for right
here in the United States.
But, that's a different matter, isn't it.
*
In Paul Harvey's column, we read the other, day:
"... an Agnew utterance is likely to be amplified to the point
. of distortion, by any in the press corps who disagree.


* "Sen. Goldwater said, 'When a liberal makes any kind of
outlandish charge against our nation or our President it is taken
* as a proper exercise of the right of free speech and a legitimate
expression of political dissent. On the other hand, a conservative
on the attack is likely to be labeled irresponsible and intemperate' ".
"Perhaps this may help you better to understand why so many
professional politicians and pundits finally become mealy mouthed
purveyors of platitudinous poppycock."

Jaycees Host 28 Children In Annual



"Toys for Tots" and Shopping Tour


Santa Claus passes out bags of Christmas goo- area. The Jaycees were hosts to 28 children at
dies ,and toys at a party held Saturday afternoon the annual party and shopping tour.
for underprivileged children in the Port St. Joe -Star photo


The Port St. Joe Jaycees fur-
nished a Merry Christmas for 28
underprivileged children Satur-
day in their annual Toys for-
Tots program.
The Jaycees furnished each
child with'$11.00 and took them
Christmas shopping in downtown
Port St. Joe. Project chairman
Harold Keels said most of the
children spent their money wise-
ly for clothing and things they
could use.
The Jaycees raised over $300
for the program through various
projects and donations received
from private citizens. All of the
money was used in providing a
happy holiday for the 28 who
attended the program and the
one who came down with chick-
en pox and had to remain at
home.
After the shopping tour, the
Jaycees brought the children to
the Parish House, where a giant
Christmas tree had been erected
and entertained them at a Christ-
mas party. The children were
served refreshments and enter-
tained by the Jaycees and the
Jayceettes.
The highlight of the party was
a visit from Santa Claus who
passed out bags of toys and
Christmas goodies.

OPEN INSTALLATION

There will be an open installa-
tion service for new officers of
Masonic Lodge, No. 111 Satur-
day, December 27 at 7:00 p.m.

Avenue.
All Masons are urged to be
present.


Sharks Suffer First Loss of


Season; Win Over Bay High


Port St. Joe's Sharks take their
holiday break with a five win,
one loss record. The Sharks had
their perfect slate spoiled on the
last game before the holidays
Saturday night, with a loss to
Rutherford in Panama City.
a
The Sharks took a 69-59 vic-
tory over the Bay High Torna-
does Friday night here in Port
St. Joe.
The Sharks jumped off to a
12-7 lead in the first quarter and
had an 11 point margin at half
time.
The Tornadoes came to life in
the third period and managed to
take a one point lead late in the
last quarter for a short time for
their only lead of the game. ',
James McGee pumped in 17
points and grabbed a whopping
29 rebounds for probably the
highest rebound collection by
any one playing in the Port St.


Joe gymnasium. Norris Langston
and Buddy Boyette each threw
in 16 points on seven field goals
and two free throws apiece.
Ricky Lockhart scored 14 for
Bay High.

Rutherford jumped off to a
fast nine point lead in Panama
City Saturday and the Sharks
were never able 'to overcome it
in their 75-63 loss to the big
Rutherford High Rams.
The Sharks were outscored in
every period, but they made a
battle of it, tying the score four


times in the game, but never able v
to grab the lead.
James McGee led the Sharks
in points with his 24 and in re-
bounds with 12. Buddy Boyette is
getting back in the groove after
a late start due to football, and
put 17 points through the hoop
following a 16 point production
the night before. Boyette had 11
rebounds. Little Norris Langston
added 12 points and 10 rebounds.
George Williams had 10 points.
Rogers led the Rams with his
29 points.

Search On for

Sanford Jones;

Thought Drowned

Sanford "Deacon" Jones, age
63, of Port St. Joe, is missing
and apparently drowned, accord-
ing to Chief Deputy Wayne
White of the Gulf County Sher-
iff's-Department.
According to White, Jones'
boat was found capsized with
his fishing gear floating in the
water around the boat on Depot
Creek Saturday afternoon about
4:30 p.m. The boat was found
about two and a half miles from
Odena Landing in the direction
,of Lake Wimico.
The Sheriff's Department is
,conducting dragging and search
operations for Jones. A diving
team was called in yesterday, but
as The Star went to press, noth-
ing had been found.


City, County Close

Offices for Holiday
The Port St. Joe City Hall and
the Gulf County Courthouse will
be closed Wednesday through
Friday of this week in observ-
ance of the Christmas holidays,
it has been announced by city
and county officials.
The two buildings will also be
closed next Thursday, New Year's
day.
Most business houses in Port
St. Joe will be closed Christmas
day and New Year day only.
The Florida First National
Bank will be closed Christmas
and New Year's day only.


Work Delayed On

Overstreet Bridge

The floating bridge over the
Intracoastal Canal at Overstreet
on State Road 386 is now closed
and will remain closed to vehicu-
lar traffic for approximately two
additional weeks beginning yes-
terday, December 22, to complete
repairs of sandblasting and paint-
ing.
This announcement was made
Friday by S. L. Roddenberry,
Maintenance Engineer with the
State Department of Transporta-
tion.
The work was expected to be
completed prior to Christmas.
However, the delay is due to un-
anticipated problems encounter-
ed with the Department of Nat-
ural Resources shell barge, which
is presently being repaired and
has priority over the local work.
The contractor's proposal al-
lowed 30 days to complete the
Overstreet work and he does
not expect any difficulty in
meeting the requirement. The
bridge is expected to be open for
traffic the first week in January.

Early Again Next Week
Next week's issue of The Star
will be put to press on Tuesday
afternoon and will be mailed on
Wednesday morning.
This will enable you to get
your copy of the paper before
the New Year day holiday, rather
than receive it a day late.
Since The Star depends on the
mail man to deliver the paper,
we must run when he does.
After next week's issue, The
Star will get back on its regular
Thursday mailing date.


Gulf County Receives State Money

To Apply to Library Operations


Secretary of State Tom Adams
sent Gulf County its share of
the state provided library match-
ing funds last week and sent a
letter to County Commission
Chairman, Leo Kennedy, stating
his disappointment that the sum
was so little.
The state money for library
use amounted to $2,710 and Ad-
ams stated in his letter that it
was about one fourth what Gulf
was eligible for under the li-
brary support formula. Adams
said only $206,000 was approp-
riated for library purposes by
the State Legislature which had
to be divided among the 36
counties in the state participat-
ing in the program.
Adams said the state approp-
riation amounted to about three
cents per person state-wide,
which he was said was near the


bottom of the nation.
Gulf County puts approximately
$18,000 in local money into the
program each year.
Gulf County participates in the
Northwest Florida Regional Li-
brary which includes Gulf, Bay,
Washington and Calhoun coun-
ties.

FHP Predicts 42 Highway
Deaths During Holiday
Urging motorists to prove them
wrong as they did during the
Thanksgiving holiday, the Florida
Highway Patrol predicted this
week that 42 people will die in
traffic accidents in the state dur-
ing the long Christmas holiday
period.
Col. Reid Clifton said, "We ap-
peal to motorists to back our hol-
iday safety efforts with caution."


B. W. Wilder, Sr., Injured In Auto

Accident Late Saturday Afternoon


B. W. Wilder, Sr., age 63, re-
ceived broken ribs, lacerations
and abrasions late Saturday af-
ternoon in a two car accident,
just South of the Port St. Joe
city limits.
Wilder was driving South on
U. S. 98 and made a left turn into
Madison Street, Oak Grove, in
the path of an on-coming pick-up
truck driven by Roy Gene Norris
of Port St. Joe. Norris vehicle
skidded for 77 feet and struck
the right side of Wilder's vehi-


cle, knocking it 26 feet into the
ditch.
Wilder and Norris were taken
to Municipal Hospital, along with
two children who were passen-
gers in the truck, Donna Sue Wa-
ters, age 5 and Roy Jefferson
White, age 8. Norris and the
two children were treated for
cuts and bruises and released.
Highway Patrolman Don Ross
of Blountstown investigated the
accident and charged Wilder with
failing to yield the right of way.

"Despite nearly doubling the rate
of cutting trees during the past
10 years" said C. H;. Coulter, Divi-
sion of Forestry director, "growth
of Florida trees in most areas ex-
ceeded removal."
In northwest Florida the growth
'rate of timber was more than 50
per cent faster than harvest rate.
During this past decade, Coulter
went on to show, stands of pine in
west Florida increased 28 per cent,
while hardwood was up some 10 per
cent. At the time areas occupied by
scrub oak and other trees of low
commercial value shrank by more
than one-third.
These trends are explained in a
new bulletin entitled "Forest Sta-
tistics for Northwest Florida, 1969".
This bulletin was compiled follow-
ing joint forest survey efforts of
the U. S. Forest Service and the
Florida Division of Forestry.
Although the report concerns 16
counties from Jefferson County
west through the panhandle, it is
the first of four reports which will
involve the entire state. When. this
study is completed, hopefully dur-
ing 1970, the Big Forest Picture
will emerge more clearly than at
any time during recent years.
Regardless of the character of
Florida forestry depicted when this
report is concluded, we may be sure
the handwriting on the forest floor
strongly suggests not merely a
"better" market for wood material,
but a "premium" market.


Florida tree farmers who con-
tinue to plant commercial species
of trees on acreage which otherwise
would probably be unused, continue
to prove not only their faith in the
profitable return from forestry but
their understanding of a great and
dynamic industry still on the way
up.
A revision of projected outlays
might well hike federal assistance
for planting of trees, and improv-
ing the condition of trees now
standing.
In the southern states alone,
some 40 million acres are owned
by industry, while 17 million acres
are publicly owned. The fact is
the majority of southern forest
land 141 million acres is pri-
vately owned. Because of this pat-
tern of ownership it is quite possi-
ble that the greatest opportunity in
all America timberwise is'
manifest in the southern region.
Outright subsidy is not sought by
timber men, and subsidy would
prove no permanent benefit. Tree
farmers do need incentive, in

May the holiday season
glow brightly for everyone!
Greetings from

Samuel A. Patrick
Tax Assessor


One version tells it that he
threw the gold down the
chimney, where it fell into a
stocking hung there to dry.
And so to this day children
hang up their stockings for
gifts from this real Saint.
why are mince pies and
plum pudding traditional as
desserts?
Mince pie has been tradi-
tional for as long as history
records. It is usually full of
spices and fruits, represent-
ing the exotic treasures of
the East, the home of the.
Wise Men. Originally it was
made in a loaf shape, to sim-
ulate the manger.
Plum pudding, to the con-
trary, signifies the humbler
virtues. Legend has it that in
the early days of England a
king and his men were lost
in the forest on Christmas
Eve.
Not having provided for
this delay in their journey,
the cook threw everything
he had to make one dish for
all thus the plum pid-
dingl We're just guessing,
but we are sure plums have
had some good .reason to be
part of the.name.

Dickens Story:

Mr. Pickwick's

Christmas...
by CHA LES DICKENS
It was a. very pleasant
thing to see Mr. Pickwick in
the centre of the group, now
pulled this way, and then
that, and first kissed on the
chin and then on the nose,
and then on the spectacles,
and to hear the peals of
laughter which were raised
on every side; but it was a
still more pleasant thing to
see Mr. Pickwick blinded
shortly afterwards with a
silk-handkerchief, falling up
against the wall, and scramb-
ling into comers, and going
through all the mysteries of
blindman's buff, with the ut-
most relish for the game, un-
til at last he caught one of
the poor relations; and then
had to evade the blind-man
himself, which he did with a
nimbleness and agility that
elicited the admiration and
applause of all beholders.


0 0
(p


~YOOD~


The poor relations caught
just the people whom they
thought would like it; and
when the game flagged, got
caught themselves. When
they were all tired of blind-
man's buff, there was a great
game of snap-dragon, and
when fingers enough were
burned with that, and the
raisins gone, they sat down
by the huge fire of blazing
logs to a substantial supper,
and a mighty bowl of was-
sail, something smaller than
an ordinary wash-house cop-
per, in which the hot apples
were hissing and bubbling
with a rich look, and a jolly
sound, that were perfectly
irresistible Up flew the
bright sparks in myriads as
the logs were stirred, and-the
deep red blaze sent forth a
rich glow, that penetrated
into the furthest corner of
room, and cast its cheerful
tint on every face.

RESOLUTIONS


ARE MADE


TO BE KEPT
Don't go through the mo-i
tions -of making New Year's
resolutions unless you have
serious intent of making.
them work. In fact, accord-
ing to psychologists, you
may be doing your psyche
harm by experiencing an-
other defeat. You'd be better
off not making resolutions at
all.
One expert suggests we
make resolutions aimed. at
self improvement, rather
than promising to do things
which would require a sharp
change in our habits or ac-
tivities,
Here is a 4-point guide-
line:
1. Never let pressure of a
calendar date or friends'
well-meaning nudges cause
you to make a. resolution.
2. Stop and take inventory
of your problems. (Oh, yes,
yOu have them). Try to trace
the source of the trouble,
not merely the symptom, If
necessary, get professional
advice.
3. When you have located
the source of the problem,
find -out how important a
change is to you. Do you
really want to effect this
change? 'Would you really
work at it? If you cannot
honestly say "yes" to both
these questions, you prob-
ably won't achieve the
change.
4. Don't set too high stan-
dards for yourself. Keep
your goals reasonable. Keep
in mind that many mental
problems as well as lost
resolutions are due to your
making unreasonable, un-
attainable demands on your-
self.

Miss McLane gave several rea-
sons for rising hospital costs. One,
of course, it rising costs. An im-
portant factor is the ones who can-
not or will not pay their bills. "We
have to operate and -the operation
must be paid for. We thus base
our charges on patient days, which
covers indigents and bad debts",
Miss McLane said.
Other contributing factors to
rising costs are increased salaries
for hospital personnel. "We must
meet the competition for the la-
bor force with better salaries to
maintain our operation", the speak-

REAL YOU


IN* YOUR


CARS...
Though we may speak of
Christmas-card, writing as a
chore, in reality, to most of
us, it is one of the pleasantest
"chores"of the year.
It gives us a chance to re-
member and reach old
friends, and also to say
"hello" to new acquaintances
we might like to know better.
Those of us who work at
regular jobs will find card-
writing a good way to "break
the ice" with those people
with whom nwe have little
daily contact. Perhaps. this
will be a source of a much
more meaningful relation-
ship within sterile office
walls.
When .you choose your
cards let them reflect the real
you; let the ones you select
be the ones you feel most
identified with. Don't try to
be fashionable, or "modem,"
brilliant or off-beat, unless it
happens that this expresses
your personality "as it is."
Many people use a Christ-
mas card as a kind of once-a-
year message to very special
people; they write a long
note and enclose it, or on the
back of the card. This 'gives
N you an opportunity to ex-
press personal thoughts in
the very meaning of Christ-
mas.
Another thing which is
important this time of the
year (if not at any other
time!): be spontaneous .
Don't stop and say, "Will he
be embarrassed if I send him
one and he hasn't sent me
one?" Take the chance. And
give him time to respond, if
indeed you do take him by
surprise. It will be none the
less sincere. And if you are
"caught" in this situation,
you should react genuinely.
If you want to reciprocate,
do so ... in time for him to
receive the card for Christ-
mas, and if not, with a New
Year's card or, still bet-
ter, with a special personal
thank-you by note or
phone call.

Festival

of Lights

Reflects Old
Traditions

Since the dawn of recorded
history man has observed
that there is a period during
the. year when "the days be-
gin to lengthen and the cold
begins to strengthen."
It is the Winter solstice
when. the sun began to rise
over the world with renewed
vigor and power for fertil-
ity, after a period of low
ebb.
The people of the North
considered the sun as a
wheel which alternately
threw its glow upon the
earth and away from it. This
sun wheel was known as
"hweol" and perhaps this is
the origin of our word
yulee."
To the Jews this period
was the Festival of Lights
or Dedication, called Han-
ukkah. According to their
history, in 165 B.C. a force
of Maccabees met and van-
quished an army of. Syrians.
Judas Madcabeus entered
Jerusalem with his army and
found it desolate and in
ruins. He began the work of
purification, on the 25th day
of Kislev it was finished and
a sacred light was lighted.
In their destruction of the
temple the sacred oil was
almost depleted. However
they did find a jar which
they estimated would burn
for one day. Miraculously, it
burned for 8 days. There-
fore every year the Jews de-
cree that the 8 days prior., to
December 25 be celebrated.
The first night two tapers
are lighted. One is called the
torch. The second night a
third candle is added and so
on for each night until "the
8th day. This explains why
the true Jewish Hanukkah
candelabrum has nine arms.
