SIXTEEN PAGES THE STAR "The Safest Beaches In the Wirld Are In Gulf County" 10c PER COPY PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA 32456 Wednesday, December 23, 1971 Sharks Snatch State Grid Crown, 35-6 Last year, the Sharks were 30-0 losers to Wildwood in the state football finals. Amniediately af- ter the game, the players who would be returning this year ga- thered in a iflotel room and vowed to win the championship this year. Friday night, after 'trying for the state crown three years in a row, the Sharks,/put their ducks in a row and snished Cross City 35-6 to take the championship be- fore a packed. and partisan sta- dium. And the win came in typical Shark fashion.' They stumbled a bit at the fijst of the game and Cross City hit them with a blinding 75 yard run up the middle by the Bears' big 215 pound Willie Collins, to put the Bears ahead, 6-0. But they shouldn't have done it. The Sharks began to move slowly, but had their drive stop- ped by a penalty. Steve Bass bbomed a punt to the Bear 29. The Bears worked their way back to the 40 where 'they found them- selves with a fourth down and one foot to gO. They gambled. And- th ey shouldn't have done that, either. Archie S h'alc k 1 e ford hit Melvin Corbin behind the line of scrimmage andl jarred hin loose from the bal. Shackleford then scooped up the loose pigskin on the run and just kept on going until he crossed the goal line 58 yards away. Bass' kick was good, putting the Port St. Joe eleven out front 7-6. The rest of the game belonged to the Sharks. After the Sharks broke the ice with their first score, it was evi- dent they were going to present the City with a state football championship for Christmas. But for a while there in the first period, Port St. Joe fans began to painfully remember the pre- vious year in Wildwood. The second period began with the Sharks kicking off to the, Bears. On the first play from scrimmage, Jim Faison intercept- ed a Cross City pass on the St. Joe 43 yard line. In nine plays, the Sharks had again 'pushed across a score- with Shackleford driving over from four yards out. Twice the drive was kept going with big plays. Steve Bass pulled in a Whittle pass for 10 yards .and later, Whittle hit Perry Ad- kison for 12. Steve Bass' kick for the extra point was good, giving the Sharks a 14-6 lead. Late in the second period, the, Eears mustered their last drive, getting to the Shark 33 before Eddie Summers caught the Bear (Continued On Page 8) Car Crashes Into Front of Residence Head football coach Wayne Taylor gets the lowing Friday night's state championship football victor's ride on the shoulders of his charges fol- game here with Cross City. --Star photo i ' Last Rites Held for Mrs. Emma N.

Skip Christmas This Year? (The following was an address made to the Port St. Joe Rotary Club last Thursday by Rev. J. C. Odum, pas- tor of the Long Avenue Baptist Church. We thought it appropriate to use this address as our Christmas editorial this year.-Ed.) * Many people in Port St. Joe feel like skipping Christ- mas this year. These people believe this is the only sen- sible conclusion under the circumstances, for this has -been "one of those years". Seemingly nothing has gone right. Financially and psychologically we are not ready for Christmas. Let's skip it this year. After all, hasn't the paper mill, our number one source of income, been on strike for the last five months of the year?' Maybe three months or six month later, but not now. Why does Christ- mas always have to come on December 25 whether we are ready or not? Let's skip it this year! This is a universal problem. I sense that, around the world, many people are struggling with this same prob- lem. Could we agree, by common consent, to skip Christ- mas? It seems that we might as well skip Christmas this year. The heavy hand of circumstances weighs heavily on all of us. With an inflated economy, the price and wage freeze, and devaluation of the dollar it just seems as though Christmas is not for us this year. Can't we skip it? In order to be fair, however, before we decide as to the kind of Christmas, if any, we can bring ourselves to observe this year, perhaps we ought to compare our world with the world at the time of Jesus' birth. At the time of the birth of Christ crime was on a rampage and political corruption had come to an all. time high. There were so many murders and assassinations in Caesar's palaces, in Herod's palaces, in paths of travel that the people went armed with daggar or sword and rarely ventured forth at night. King Herod's way to the throne was tracked by crime and bloodshed and murder of those most nearly related to him. One of his. contemporaries said, "Better be Herod's hog than his son." We are famil- iar with the New Testament account of the slaughter of the infants in Bethlehem and vicinity, immediately following the birth of Christ. Violence was the accepted pattern of life. Anyone, or any nation that dared rebel against Rome was promptly THE STAR- Published Every Thursday at 306 Williams Avenue, Port St. Joe, Florida. By The Star Publishing Company WESLEr R.

There were uprisings of slaves and minority groups despite the hopelessness of speaking out against the "establishment". Jerusalem, it- self, was filled with the bitterness of factions. Poverty and disease were of such a sort that our "ghetto" dwel- lers of today would be considered rich and healthy by the unfortunate of that day. Temple worship was corrupt in many ways. Places of worship in rivalry to the great temple were springing up across the land. From our vantage point as we look in retrospect to the "fullness of time" when Christ came into the world must we not conclude that God initiated Christmas, not in spite of the sorrow and want and guilt and cruelty of that world, but because of it? Perhaps we need Christmas in 1971 as we have never needed it before. But what kind of Christmas can we endure, and what kind might lift us out df our despondency? Instead of skipping Christmas we need to skip the mirage of Christmas. We need to skip the delusion of Christmas. The generations--old optical illusion of scores of cards, piles of gifts, the orgy of shopping, the drug- ging effects of lights and pageantry, rushing crowds, and the waste of substance-this mirage we need to skip. We need to find the true oasis of Christmas right in the middle of what seems to us an unbroken desert of life. Because circumstances are like they are let us perish the thought of skipping Christmas. A true Christmas ought not drain us of vitality and integrity, it ought not add to our sense of hypocrisy. If the true Christmas is a reminder of the birth of the Sav- iour, then we need that Christmas sorely. :Dare we skip a Christmas! To paraphrase the Christmas song title made fam- ous by Bing Crosby, "I'm Dreaming of A Right Christmas." I Too Late To Classify By Russell Kay to be. Years ago it took a million dollars to be known as a million- aire. But now, in South Florida, you can be a millionaire-or at least act like one-merely thru joining a group who learned there is strength, and even wealth, in numbers. The Miami Millionaires Club, a non-profit fraternal organiza- tion of businessmen, gives its members the privilege of facili- ties and events usually reserved for the very wealthy. And a club- house on North Miami Beach will be constructed by the so-called millionaires in 1972. According to the club presi- dent, Derrick Van Brode, IV, who has the name to go with the Millionaires Club, "We liked the idea of driving around in a Rolls Royce, traveling to exotic places, cruising aboard luxury liners, dining at the most expen- sive restaurants and generally having an expensive ball. "None of us could individually afford it," Van Brode explains, "so we formed the Miami Mil- lionaires Club. We bought a Rolls, a yacht, took advantage of group rates and discounts and You Probably Owe Social Security Report If you have received at least one social security check in 1971 and expect to earn over $1680 by the end of the year, you must file an annual report with the Social se- curity Administration by Monday, April 17, 1972, according to David Robinson, Social Security Field Re- presentative for Gulf County. Cau- tion: Filing a tax return with In- ternal Revenue Service does not fulfill this reporting requirement. In order to complete this report, you must have the following infor- mation: (1) Total earnings as an employee and the months you did not earn over $140.00; (2) If self- employed, you must furnish your gross earnings, net earnings, and the months you were not active in your business. If you have not received an an- nual report form from social se- curity by the middle of March 1972, be sure to get in touch with your local social security office. The of- fice for this area is located at 1316 Harrison Ave., Panama City. To contact the office by phone, resi- dents of this area should dial "0" and ask for WX-4444. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 to 4:30 except on nation- al holidays. Kirkland Cited by 'Insurance Firm Otis E. Kirkland, agent for Gulf Life Insurance Company, was rec- ognized at a recent District Christ- mas party' for his excellence in sales. Kirkland was awarded the "First Year Agent Sales Leader" award for 1971 in the Panama City Dis- trict. This was an exceptional achievement for Mr. Kirkland, who has been employed only nine months of 1971 and he ranked number 12 among 525 agents in the Central Region of Gulf Life In- surance Company. we are now living like million- aires." None of the members are pau- pers, of course. They can all be called successful businessmen who have developed a program that gives them the opportunity of enjoying a style of life they might otherwise miss out on. Since the beginning of the club back in 1969, Van Brode says he has been beseiged by re- quests for memberships. After three years of developing the concept of the club, the Miami Millionaires are prepared to wel- come financially responsible members into the organization. Members are also given cre- dentials and expert advice on money management and taxes through a monthly newsletter. And a fraternal, accidental death benefit is another member- ship benefit. The clubhouse ,which will pro- vide members unmatched luxury, will be designed by Hernando Acosta, AIA, noted Maimi archi- tect. It will be the result of a $500,000 remodeling of an exist- ing building and will feature a "designer's dream" penthouse adjacent to a luxury restaurant and lounge. Three stories will be added to the two story structure and members may spend their days or evenings enjoying a large, heated, rooftop pool, a health spa, sauna baths and many ath- ietic facilities. You South Florida residents interested in renting a Rolls Royce for an evening or in cruis- ing aboard a luxury yacht to ex- otic places can obtain details of joining the Miami Millionaires Club by contacting their head- quarters at 1100 N.E. 125 Street in North Miami Beach. This is one time I wish I lived in Miami rather than Tampa. Sure would be nice playing like a millionaire and waving to my friends from the back seat of a chauffer-driven Rolls Royce.

Any expectations I might have had for getting a nice Christmas gift from Frenchie went right out the window last week. The sad part of it is, there's nothing I can do about it now. I was down here at the plant Tuesday night, a week ago, just after all the stores had closed down town. 'Number three son, Alford had just finished making the first press run of the week and was getting ready to go home. I was laying out an ad for somebody and Alford sidled up to me and asked, "What did you buy your wife today?" I wouldn't trade my wife off for another one, but nei- ther do I go out and buy her a present every day, so I replied, "I didn't buy her anything why?" "Well, you know today's her birthday", he shot back. As grandson, Richard, says, "Mercy, mercy" I had forgotten all about it. I went home late that night. But, even though I was late, Frenchie had a; hot supper on the table and kept hovering around, wanting to know if there was any- thing else I wanted to eat. Finally, I had to confess, "Old girl", I said, "I know you are getting on up into years and I didn't want to. remind you of it, so I forgot to buy you a birthday present". That word "forgot" got me into trouble and shot down any efforts toward diplomacy. That "old girl" remark didn't help much either. I think that's why I had to settle for a bowl of cereal for breakfast the next morning. That bowl of cereal also told me I can't look for much under the Christmas tree Saturday morning. * In spite of not expecting anything for Christmas, ev- erything is all ready at our house. I got busy last Sunday and put up the Christmas tree with the help of two "Crissum Tree" experts, aged two and three. We went outside to get the tree put up into the stand along with Richard and Steven, the two grandson experts. Richard looked at the tree and began to worry that it wouldn't go through the door into the house. I assured him we'd get it in even if we had to knock down the wall to the den. They were all business and just itching to help get the tree up. Richard held the tree while I sawed the bottom off straight and both helped me carry it into the garage where we were going to put it in the stand. About the time I put it in the stand, Richard (the oldest "Crissum Tree" expert) piped up with, "It's crook- ed, Pataw". Sure enough, it was. Where I really got the help, thought, was in putting on the decorations. Tell me, if you will, how two and three year old boys have already learned how to put the hangers on bulbs and hang them on the tree? They hung the entire three dozen bulbs on about a half dozen limbs, but they got hung. Steven was industrially working at some of the dec- orations over in a corner when I told Richard, "We have a bag of chocolate balls to hang now. Go get them." Richard went over to Steven and turned around to me and said, "Stebo ate 'em up!" Sure enough, Steven was unwrapping the chocolate balls and stuffing them in his mouth as hard as he could go. I should have known better than to trust Steven with that job. Even though he was anxious to get the "Crissum Tree" up he's a candyholic. He can't help it, he's just warped that way. As a matter of fact, I've been think- ing about enrolling him in Candyholics Anonymous. Any how, we got the tree up, minus the chocolate balls, and now we're ready to wish each and every one of you a Merry Christmas!

The Sharks be- gan to move on running plays with Mike White, Shackleford, and Jim Faison up the middle. Shackleford theh ripped off a 17 yard gain only to have it nul- lified by a clipping penalty which put the Slarks in a hole.

Sen. Jackson's unprecedented motor caravan "meet-the-people" campaign will be the first time" a presidential candidate ever has, visited many of the small com-. munities in Northwest Florida. He has pledged to personally greet as many persons as possi- ble during the Florida campaign and his unique stumping method is expected to attract plenty of attention. A 30-yeair Congressional vet- eran, Sen. Jackson views the March 14 Fibrida' presidential primary as a key step in his bid for the top spot on the Demo- cratic ticket. And Jackson, is expected to run strong from the start in Florida's first presidential primary be- cause he already has the en- dorsement and support of most of the Sunshine State's Congres- sional delegation. Included are Congressmen Bob Sikes of Crest- view, Don FuqUa of Altha and Charles Bennett of Jacksonville. A strong conservative, Sikes has termed Jackson "the only Democratic candidate acceptable to the South." Sikes is dean of the Florida Congressional dele- gation and holds the distinction of having served longer in Con- gress than any Floridian in his- Funeral Services For Mrs. Boatright Funeral services for Mrs. Mary Ellen Boatright were held Mon- day in the Curry Funeral Home Chapel in Tampa with the Rev.

Intoxi- cated drivers were involved in 156 traffic smash-ups with 42 percent of these between 6:00 and 10:00 p.m. The Patrol urged motorists to leave home early, allow extra tra- vel time because of the heavy traf- fic, maintain a safe speed, and a- -void driving when drinking.

In its Weekly Business Review, the State Chamber said reports by cities, counties and state govern- mental agencies for fiscal year 1960 indicated total expenditures of $1.4 billion for that year. By fiscal year 1970, total state and local expenditures had claimed to $3.5 billion, an increase of 153 per cent, the Review noted. During the- same period, Flor- ida's population rose from 4,925,- 000 to 6,789,000, according to the Census Bureau, an increase of 37 Highway expenditures were the second highest total with $394 mil- lion, but increased only 39 per cent over the ten-year period, the Re- view- said. "W h i 1 e population increases have been relatively evenly spaced on a year to year basis, state and local government expenditures had their greatest expansion during the last five years, with a 72 per cent increase as compared with a 47 per cent rise for 1960 to 1965," Spencer said.

"Dad, when am time I was "knee-high to an ante- I going to be permitted to have a lope 'jack,"' I was allowed to tag gun?" It was nearly 30 years ago that I'd asked my own father the same question. Fortunately, the decision was a relatively easy one for him. At that time we lived in Tucson, then a town of 30-000-only one- |tenth its present population. Dad taught at the state university, wrote for an outdoor magazine, and was also an incurable gun IA'a along with him. There were fewer people around then. And thus there were fewer hunters. By and large, those who hunted then did so because the hunting area seldom was more than a few miles from home. The kids hunted primarily because their fathers did, and hunting was considered by al- most everyone to be a manly sport.

Add to this their inade- quacy to express old and new feel- ings appropriately, and sure enough the result is frustration for parents, says Miss Rooks. The process of becoming an adult requires development of in- dependence. One way of doing this is to "cut-the-apron-strings". This is a painful process for most par- ents, but they must remember that growing up is not easy for young- sters either. One possible cause of the "lashing-out" that teenagers direct toward parents may be the result of much tension under which they find themselves. Another significant thing for parents to remember is that their children need and want some help in setting limits, even though they may seem to try quite hard to con- We hope your jogs are many and your troubles few...

Endsley pointed out that Florida was one of only 12 states not re- cently cited for non-conformance in its nursing home program by the U. S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare.
