TUESDAY,. DECEMBER 24, 1974 .mm .1~ SEDITORIALS... And /o, f Ssshep S The Bible says, '''And lo, there Were shepherds, watching their flocks by night, when the Angel of kthe Lord came upon them." Today, ,we would be forced to say, "And lo, there were those working in the paper mill (or at Sylvachem, or iBasic) when the Angel. of the Lord came upon them." Considering the station in life of the shepherds and the promise |which was made to. them, they showed remarkable faith to listen to the Angel and then to leave their flocks and go down into Bethlehem ,where the babe lay. It wasn't the ordinary thing for a shepherd to do. ,ie normally stayed with his flocks, ano matter what occurred. * Look at their faith. They were Hin virtual serfdom and had no hopes of ever being anything else. ,They were born to their position in life. If the rich landowners wouldn't give them something better in life, They need not expect it. But the |Angel told them of someone who had come to give them a better life, a goal, something to look forward ,to. No doubt they were willing to ;grasp at any straw in the wind if it ii"eant something better than herd- iing sheep in lonely solitude for the ,remainder of their life. STheir faith came fairly easy, :even though they probably had to :strain their, imagination a bit to be 'convinced of the fact that someone with power was interested in their ;welfare. Those in power, which !were known by the shepherds, were :accustomed to exploiting them. The "shepherd" of today here in America is presented with the :same message each and every ,Christmas with a reminder at 44, 1^ .1 here were herds Easter: God sent his son to die for man's sins that he might have life and have it more.abundantly. How, we ask, can an American of today have a.': more abundant life? Americans today have it much better today than did the rich men of the Biblical shepherds day. Americans today cool their homes in the summer. The rich man of Biblical times sweated in the sum- mer. Americans todayy ride any- where they go While the Biblical rich man (including Jesus the one bringing all these fine gifts) either walked or rode on the uncomfortable back of a donkey. We can go on and on. SAmericans today must find it just as hard as the shepherds of old to accept by faith the promise of God. What could God give us that we do not already have? If it has been invented for the comfort and enjoyment of man, Americans own it. But God promised that he would send his Son to provide life more abundantly. We believe He meant what he said. Considering the good life Americans enjoy today and returning to the Bible where it says our riches will be as filthy rags, it makes us look with, anticipation to just what God has provided for us, his children. The babe of Bethlehem brought a promise, over 2,000 years ago - a gift yet to be .unwrapped by those of us still living. We have seen only the wrapping ard heard the prom- ise. The story of Christmas, to us, is Jesus using another of his parables, to see if we will be intrigued enough with what he lets us see for us to put our faith in something immensely better. l L V F. 4. Z- Postal Holiday Hours Postmaster Chauncey Cos- tin announced this week that the local post office would close at noon December 24 and remain closed through Christmas Day. He stated that a clerk would be on duty from three to five p.m. on the 24th, to hand out packages to late callers although the ser- vice lobby would be closed. Costin further stated that there would be regular city and star route mail delivery on December 24, and mail would be received and dis- patched as usual.-.No mail service: would be performed on Christmas Day, according to the Postmaster, but nor- mal service would be per- formed on Thursday, the day after Christmas. The Postmaster and em- ployees of the Port St. Joe Post Office wish for all cus- tomers a very Merry Christ- mas and Happy New Year, and expressed their apprecia- tion for the cooperation ex- tended by postal patrons by mailing early and avoiding congestion at the post office.

RAMSEY Twas the night before Christmas; and not a creature was stirring: not even a mouse. That isn't so at our house. If we were to write this jingle today about our house, it would have to start off: "Twas the night before Christmas, and everybody Was stirring: even the cats and dogs. When Christmas rolls around at our house, ': we .need ,a; larger .house. -Whin -' around :'20 children, in-laws,,.out-laws and-.grandchildren get around the tree and start unwrapping gifts, there is anything but quiet. One thing Christ- mas does at our house; it out-shouts the TV. When Christmas is over at our house, it looks like the floor of our press room when we get through running the week's papers around here at The Star. There is gift wrap every- where and more than once a gift has found its way to the garbage can in the resulting clean-up. The same thing happens here at The Star. When we start the press, it runs from 50 to 75 copies of what we happen to be running before an acceptable copy begins coming off the press. These rejects are tossed aside. When we get through with a weekw.-which results in at least five press runs, you can ,imagine the trash we must get rid of. Why, we even threw out a. sledge hammer in the tras'F clean-up one day and didn't even know it. The hustle and bustle of buying gifts at the last minute is nothing compared to the hustle and bustle of opening thefAi: at our house on Christmas night. Twas the night before' Christmas and all was quiet? Don't you believe it. Twas the night before Christmas and everything was pande- monium, would be more like it: Old Nelson finally made the big leagues. For years he toiled down in the Triple A minors before he got a chance at the big leagues. It wasn't from lack of trying on his part that he was overlooked for so long. Nelson isn't exactly on the first string where he would like to be; but he is considerably closer than he has ever managed to be before. W E ', You might say Old Nelse is a pinch hitter. You know, he comes to bat if the one in the line-up falters. Any baseball manager will tell you this position is a very valuable one to have well-filled on any team, but you never plan to have to need him. Brother Will, up in Chattahoochee had this to 'sa'y this past welk ." " "Tie Arabs are' making money at such a fast rate that economists claim they will have enough ready cash to buy up the world in less than fifteen years. Reports show that they have already started their purchases. "I say sell them anything they want. Then when they get all their money invested, turn around and nationalize them like they did us. but what we really ought to do is sell them the World Football League. That'd break them in no time flat:" No, Brother Will isn't inside. He's outside . S. so far. That suggestion reminds me of when I was a small boy in Oklahoma. I always was ready to go to the store with Momma on bill-paying day. On bill-paying day, the grocer would get a, large sack and go through his candy counter, giving some of this and some of that, which he called a "treat" for those paying their grocery bill. If we took brother Will's suggestion for taking the Arabs money, we would be like that grocer during the depression in Oklahoma. We would be looking up some "treat" to give them for spending their money with us. I can suggest a few "treats". We could give them the Nixon tape library; Senator Prox- mire's old worn-out sweat suit, and a bottle of the elixer Senator Strom Thurmond takes to make him stay young. Or we could be real nice,, and let them buy in on the national debt for those gilt-edged securities Uncle Sam floats around so freely. 1F -THE STAR- Published Every Theday at 30 Williams Avenue, Port St. Joe, Florida By The Star Publishing Company.

RON Thank you for you increasing sup- port of our Motel & Restaurant services, Motel St. Joe Bob & Donnie Lange Come, let us adore the newborn King! May the joy of Christmas dwell in every heart! Dairy Burger Sandwich Shop Robbers entered the St. Joe Hardware Company store in downtown Port St. Joe Sun- day night, according to City Police and Gulf County Sher- iff's Department. City Patrolman Jack Davil- la said he checked the back door to the store at around 6:45. He came back down the: same alley at 7:15 and notic- ed the back door was stand- ing ajar. Upon investigating, he found it had been entered by force, breaking -a bar which locked the door on the inside. A quick inventory of the store revealed that several hand guns and two stereo speakers had been taken. Investigating officers combed the store for clues and fingerprints in the inves- tigation. Sheriff Raymond Lawrence told The Star Monday that no arrests had been made as yet in the matter. "We're looking at what we have", Lawrence said, "trying to find a solid lead." This is the second time this year the hardware store has been entered by thieves. Action Friday evening by the Gulf County Commission made it a certainty that at least some would receive their tax bills by the first of the year. Many have been wanting their bills so they could be paid, taking the payment off their 1974 income tax, return. Friday, the County Commission received a firm figure from which it can set its millage and get the bills sent out. The School Board worked up their tax millage two days before and turned their millage rate over to the Tax Collector for collecting. Tax Assessor Samuel A. Patrick has finally come up with a valuation roll accept- able to the State Revenue Department and turned it over to the taxing bodies this past week so mills may be set and the tax bills compiled and mailed. Patrick presented a valua- tion roll of $63,867,087 in taxable property to the tax- ing agents. As a result of the meeting Friday evening, the County Commission lowered its mil-', lage below a figure they had used toestimate their budget. The Board lowered its tax levy from 6.8 mills to 5.13. In addition, those living' within the Tupelo Fire Con- trol District will pay an extra .29 mill and those living within the St. Joseph Fire Control District will be asses- sed- with an additional .236 mill. The School Board has as- sessed a millage rate of 6.54 for operations and .981 for debt service. The School Board had tentatively set the legal limit of eight mills before Patrick's final figures came in this week. The firm figures allowed nearly a mill and a half reduction from the estimate. Tax Assessor Samuel A. Patrick will take the list of assessments to the computer in Panama City on Monday morning of this week for them to be set up by the machine on a list. Tax Col- lectror Harland O. Pridgeon .will then take this list and go back to the computer to- make up his tax bills. All of this should take a week to ten - days to accomplish. Pridgeon says he will take several bills from the pile for those who have asked for them and mail them out immediately so tax payers may pay up this year. Other tax bills probably will not be received until after the first of the year. The three month delay in mailing out bills has been due to the fact that the State Revenue Department would not accept Patrick's values as they were on the list. This meant a complete revalua- tion of all property in the County, which was not ac- complished until after the time tax bills would normally be mailed. Since that time, the assess- ments have been studied by the Department of Revenue and hearings held for those who felt there were inequities in their assessments. Now, all this is out of the way and the task of sending out bills can begin. Just in the nick of time, too, as all government sub- divisions in the county are running out of money with which to pay bills. The School Board had to borrow money this month to pay its bills, due to the fact taxes had not been collected. Although your next week's issue of the paper will come to you on the usual day next week, Thursday, it will be printed a day early in order that our staff may take off :New Year Day. SThe paper will go to press Tuesday afternoon and will be put in the Post Office Prentice Forrester Succumbs Funeral services for Pren- tice Emanuel Forrester, 67, of Webb, Alabama, who died Friday morning, Dec. 20, in a Dothan hospital after a short illness, were held at two p.m. Sunday'in the Webb Baptist Church.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1974 Marmee, Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy Personified the Spirit of Giving in Story, "Little Women" One of the most beloved stories in American liter- ature is "Little Women", by Louisa May Alcott. The Civil War-impover- ished March family the four "Little Women" guid- ed by their courageous, firm yet kindly mother, Marmee, have won gener- ations of friends as the years go by. -'No better time to meet the March ladies, than at Christmas. "'Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents,' grumbled Jo, lying on the rug." (Jo, as you remember, was the "free spirit" among the girls, with an impulsive, outspoken way that-some- times concealed a warm and loving heart. "'It's so dreadful to be poor,' sighed Meg, looking down at her old dress.' 'I don't think it's fair- for some girls to have plenty of pretty things, and other girls nothing at all,' added little Amy, with an injured sniff. 'We've got father and mother and each other,' said Beth contentedly, from her corner. The four young faces on which the firelight shone brightened at the cheerful words, but. dark- ened again as Jo said sadly: 'We haven't got father, and shall not have him for a long time.' She didn't say "perhaps never", but each silently added it, thinking of father far away, where the fighting was." But somehow the girls rallied their spirits, and determined to make a show of being happy, even if each one had a lump in her throat, thinking of her fathe- in combat, per- haps lying on the wet snow with only the cold muzzle of a rifle against his cheek. They were thinking, too, of Marmee, so brave in the midst of these ad- versities, and who was the most selfless person any- one could know. The girls decided to pool their meagre resources and buy their mother some presents. A dollar was all any of them had to spend; they had hoard- ed their pennies for months to build up a fund for something nice for Marmee. And they wanted it to be a surprise. On Christmas morning they came downstairs to find that their mother had gone out on an errand of mercy an occurrence all too common, in the eyes of their faithful friend and servant, Hannah, long unpaid, but ever loyal. The girls waited for an hour, growing hungrier and hungrier as they sniffed the aroma of buck- wheats coming from the kitchen. Finally Marmee came back, but only to ask the girls to sacrifice their >wn wants and needs this Christmas morning, and help her carry a basket of good things to eat, along with firewood, to a cold and starving family near- by. All the "little women" felt that this need was greater than theirs, so they gathered up the hot- cakes, the freshly baked muffins and the cream, and with Jo's arms heaped with firewood, the March- es made a Christmas morning visit to their neighbors' house. SLater, their own break- fast of only cold bread and milk seemed sufficient, be- cause their hearts were full of gratitude that, as poor as they were, they were able to help those un- fortunates. As Marmee went into the kitchen to thank Han- nah, the girls decided that this was the moment to surprise their mother with the gifts. Beth rushed to the old piano and played her "gay- est march" "Amy threw open the door, and Meg enacted escort with great dignity. Mrs. March was. both surprised and touched; and smiled with her eyes full as she exam- ined her presents, and read the little notes which accompanied them.... There was a good deal of laughing and kissing and explaining, in the sim- ple, loving fashion which makes these home festi- vals so pleasant at the At about the turn of the century the Chicago Sun received a query from little Virginia O'Hanon, "Is there a Santa Claus?" Their reply has become the classic answer to the question. "Dear Editor: 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? -Virginia O'Hanon, 115 West Ninety-Fifth Street." Virginia: Your friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe what they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children'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 capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! How dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith, then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence: We should have no enjoyment except in sense and sight. The eternal life light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would it prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world, are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not: but that's no proof that they are not there, Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders that are unseen and unseeable in the world. You may tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor the. united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance can push aside the curtain and view and picture the supernatural beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all the world there is nothing else as real and abiding. No Santa Claus? Thank God, he lives and he lives forever! A thousand years from now, Virginia, may ten times ten thousand years from now, he6'will continue to make glad the heart of childhood. time, so sweet to remem- S-t-r-e-t-c-h your dollars ber long afterward. ."

What had been planned as a demon- Sstrationi of elephants' ability to squeeze (or crush) oranges turned into a pachyderm picnic at Circus World recently. Officials of Circus World were planning to enter the team of elephants in the Third Annual Citrus "Squeeze Off" that is scheduled for the Florida Citrus Showcase in Winter Haven on Saturday, March 1. Unfortunately, the elephant team ignored their cues and ate the oranges instead of squeezing them for officials present at the demonstration. The Third Annual Citrus "Squeeze Off" is sponsored by the Florida Bankers Association and the Department of Citrus. Admission is free and organizers of the' event promise elephants, clowns, music, cele- brities and a good time for everyone. What Color Is An Oyster? It Depends What color is an oyster? Well,' that depends on the specie, the water tempera- Sture and salinity, the loca- tion, the food available to the oyster and whether the oyster was feeding -heavily when harvested. And, that is just nature's doing. In the orient and in some parts of Europe, oysters are brightly colored with food dyes for festive use. Generally in the Southeas- tern United States our oys- ters run from a kind of pearly white through shades of gray and beige, but two otWE"'V`athR'r "Chrilsm'sY" elors-, ar-e quite common. Oysters feed by pumping Water through their gills and Filtering out minute algae. If. the oyster was feeding heav- ily when harvested, it will be fat and tasty and may have a green color in its gills. The green is just a little harmless gree i:algae in the gills which some connoisseurs consider to be a sign of a fine oyster. Of course, the green should be confined to the gills. On the other hand, the oyster inay be light pink in color- all over. The coloring agent in this case is a harmless bacteria that is sometimes more concentrated in the water than usual. Harmon Shields, executive director of the Florida De- partment of Natural Re- sources, advises that oysters may only be taken from waters approved by the Flor- ida' Division of Health. Shields says oysters pur- chased from reputable sea- food dealers have come from clean waters, have been pro- cessed under close regulation and are safe as, well as delectable. If you want to harvest your own oysters, do so only in waters approved for shellfish harvesting. If you are not sure about your bay, call the local office of the Depart- ment of Natural Resources Marine Patrol. The Board of County Com-' missioners of Gulf County met on December 10, 1974 in regular session with .the fol- lowing members present: Chairman Otis Davis, Jr.; S. C.

Mr. Nations requested the members take the proposals under consideration n and, after study, the developer would like to k'ow the general feelings of the Board about the development. The Board agreed to study the plans. Keith Greene, Department of Pollution Control, reported to the Board that state regu- lations require all landfills to operate under a permit by January 1, 1975. In addition,. by July 1, 1977, each county is expected to be in complete' compliance with the law at all sanitary landfills.

Charles Tharpe said it was his dad's intention for the Board'" to pay' him for all overtime. He said he would come back before the Com- missioners on time owed from 1969 to 1974. Mrs. Joyce Price, deputy tax assessor, asked if there was any office space upstairs for a map man. The Board stated there was no available space. The Board opened the bids for repairs on the D-5 tractor and the only bid received was a no-bid. The Attorney in- structed Mr. Daniell he could have the tractor repaired by another dealer. Comm. Money reported several city streets that need- ed repair and also requested the county patronize local business on any machine type repairs. Comm. Owens asked if it was too late to file a petition with the Tax Adjustment Board. The Chairman replied that it was. Comm. Owens reported .that overhanging trees on ,Burgess Road needed cutting.

Family- Row Crops Can Grow Profitably On Gulf Land "There has been a miscon- ception that the land in Gulf County was not fit for farm- ing", Robert Lane, manager of Circle J Farms, told the Rotary Club. "Any land that will profitably grow pine trees will produce row crops profitably, too", Lane told the Rotarians. .- Circle J is a subsidiary'obf the T. L. James Company of Ruston, Louisiana. The, par- ent company is involved in heavy construction work, oil wildcatting, barge lines, tim- ber and a number of enter- prises. "Farming and ranch- ing is a small part of our operations," Lane said. '": Presently, Circle J is work- ing 26,000 acres in Gulf Coun- ty with part of the land in cattle growing and the rem- mainder of the property pro- Note of Thanks Junior Girl Scout Troop 248 wishes to extend its thanks and appreciation to C. W. Roberts for the use of his truck and trailer in the re- cent Christmas parade. Also thanks and appreciation -to Chief H. W. Griffin for the use of the Police Dept., Abe Miller for the float supplies, Mrs. Terry King for her de- signing, Randall McClain for driving, Gregg and Stephen King for their many hard hours of work on construc- tion. A. L. Hargraves deserves a special thank you for assist- ing in our near disaster. Many parents were involved in the arrangements for the float, and,their cooperation is deeply appreciated; Keith Ward and Bobby Lightfoot in particular; Mr. Ward for making arrangements for the truck and Mr. Lightfoot for the many hours, nails; staples, etc. in the frame- work. A good Scouting program depends on cooperation and the leaders of Troop 248 are very appreciative of every- one's efforts. i; f.Read the Classifieds during feed for the cattle. "We have 7,500 acres in' grains", Lane said, "and for the past three years we have shown a reasonable profit off the operation. Our entire op- eration has put $900,000 into the economy of Gulf County", the farm manager reported. Lane said the firm is now in the process of buying cattle, "so the present low price of cattle suits our pur- pose just fine. However, we will be wanting to sell after a while, so we hope the price goes up to where it should be". Lane said the present low price of cattle is artificial. "It should be more since a producer cannot feed a cow and sell it at today's prices without losing money." The reason for this is that the farmer found he could get so iuch more for his grain selling it rather than feeding it to cattle and then selling them. As a result, the grade of the cattle went down, causing the price to go down. Lane said the local area is ideal for winter grazing of cattle, since there ,is just enough cool weather to pro- vide grain the temperature it needs and it is also warm enough to allow pastures to grow along with the grain.. .fWe depend a lot on silage Slor feed", he said, "So we are in a good situation for our cattle operation.

He has as many personalities as fertile imaginations through the, ages can dream up. ? The symbol of Santa Claus and other magical ringerss of gifts is infin- itely variable. In Europe `the chief gift-bringers are St. Nicholas on his saint's iay, the 6th of December; :his Anglo-American de- scendant is Santa Claus; in parts of Scandinavia dwarfs and goats take his place; there is the Christ Child of the Ger- iman Xmas Eve; the white-robed girl Kolyada A pe-revolutionary .Rus-* aia arrived by sleigh on Christmas Eve with at- tendant carol-singers; and the Epiphany gift-bearers associated with the Magi -.such as the Befana of Italy, Babouschka of old Russia, and the Tres Reyes Magos of Spain - all parade down through the centuries with essen- tially the same function I-to bring gifts to good little boys and girls. Santa Claus himself is composed of many ele- ments; he is half Saint Nicholas and half ancient yule god. St. Nicholas, the original, was a bishop of Myra in Asia Minor in the fourth century. He is sup- posed to have wrought miracles; certainly he was a good man. Many stories evolve from legends con- cerning the Bishop.

Hearth- gods and gods of the Yule- log went in and out by chimney also witches, adherents of the old and earliest religion of the horned god only much later made into a satan- ic Christian devil-figure. (Shades of an exorcist!) These people used hallu- cinatory drugs and used ointments like belladonna that made them feel like they were flying..
