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?

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.

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." *01 We're with ya'll Paul!

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 OF MASONIC OFFICERS 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. The services will be held at the Masonic Lodge Hall on Reid 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.

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. Presents Calendar Mrs. George McLawhon, president of the Band Parents Associa- tion presents a birthday calendar to Principal Walter Wilder to hang in the high school office. The Band Parents have just com- pleted the sale of their new edition of the birthday calendars. This is the main money making project of the Association.

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.

MORGAN'S LAUNDRY and CLEANERS f 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.

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. .
