Christmas Means



to Give


About this time of the year one
of our favorite questions is to ask
someone what their perception of
the meaning of Christmas is.
Some, of course, will say that
Christmas is the birthday of God's
son Jesus Christ. Some will say it is
a time for Santa Claus to come,
bringing gifts to all the little
children. Some will say it is a time
for the giving and receiving of gifts.
Some will even say it is a time of the
giving of good will to our fellow man.
One thing all these definitions
have in common is the act of giving.
Some including the act of receiving,
but one cannot receive unless an-
.Other gives.
The first explanation of what
'Christmas is, is the proper descrip-
ition of course, but even this descrip-
tion includes the understood act of
giving. Even the most elementary
'ible school lesson taught to chil-
dren from the time they are able to
:talk and understand words is that
:God sent his Son into the World as a
:sacrifice for man's sin, which man
himself was not able to control. God


gave.
It seems that through the entire
Bible from the first page of Genesis
to the last page of Revelation, God is
in the business of giving for man.
Man has a special place in the eyes
of God. From the giving of life with
which to begin life on this earth to
the provision for a heaven after
death, God has given to man more
than man can ever think about
giving in return.
It shouldn't be too much for God
to expect of man that in light of his
great sacrifice that man could
sacrifice his headlong dash through
the world to pause for a day and
remember the birth of God's Son in a
manner in which God would have us
observe this auspicious event.
About the only "Christ" some
people will see in Christmas is when
the blessing is said at the dinner
table on Christmas day. Let's hope
that even then, they stop and realize
to whom the prayer is being offered.
God gave. Is it too much to
expect for man to give a little in
return?


Florida's Cabinet voted last
week, 6-1 to stop work or planning on
the Cross State Barge Canal. Chalk
up one for the environmentalists.
They were vocal; they were at the
right meetings; they were diligent.
It seems to us that Ferris
Bryant, former Governor of Florida,
made the most sensible approach to
the matter when he pleaded that the
Cabinet allow the Legislature to kill
the canal, if indeed it was to be
killed. Bryant reminded the Cabinet
that the Legislature formed the
Canal Authority and it should be
their duty to stop all progress and
terminate the project which has
been in the mind of Florida leaders
for over a century.
Bryant also reminded the Cabi-
net that the Congress of the United
States authorized its digging, and it
should be up to Congress to stop
future work on the project. He noted
that it was stopped by President
Nixon when, he, like the Cabinet of
Florida, had no authority to do so.
Only Secretary of Agriculture
Doyle Conner was in favor of
continuing study of the canal. He
recommended the Cabinet not scut-

Academy at Annapolis, spoke

tie the canal in its entirety, but that
the Cabinet suspend support of the
canal indefinitely rather than rec-
ommend its termination.
Bruce Smathers joined Conner
for a brief period, but eventually
cast his vote to stop the canal.
The Cabinet passed a resolution
to begin taking steps to dispose of
about 70,000 acres acquired for canal
construction. If in the future, the
state and nation should have a need
for the canal such as it did in World
War II, the beginning must start
again at number one rather than
take up where the last generation
left off.
Scenes on TV of the "damage"
caused by the canal's Rodman
Reservoir showed the area teeming
with birds and wild life. Shots of the
Oklawaha River, which stoppage is
designed to protect had no visible
wild life at all.
We can't say with authority
whether the canal would be good or
bad for the ecology. We can't help
but wonder, however, if the Intra-
coastal Canal which serves this area
well, would ever be built if it was
in just the planning stages today.

Creamer said 1,300 cadets
enrolled with him in his Fresh-
man class and approximately
900 will graduate at the end of

Creamer said he plans to be
a Marine pilot after his stay at
Annapolis. This will require
two and a half more years of
study and training.


"I recommend the service
schools to anyone who gets the
opportunity to go". Creamer
said. "A candidate gets a first

Winter

Is Here,

Officially
Winter came to the Nor-
thern Hemisphere and the
Panhandle Monday night
with a cold blast which
shivered the entire coast-
line of Florida, including
Port St. Joe.
The official designation
of the season was just a
little anti-climactic here in
Gulf County, as consider-
able winter, Florida style,
has already been exper-
ienced this season.
With winter officially ar-
riving on the calendar, old
Mother Nature sent in an
advance guard of heavy
rains Sunday night and
all day Monday, in pre-
paration for the plum-
metting temperatures and
high winds Monday night,
climaxing in a cold morn-
ing Tuesday with patches
of ice here and there.
The Star's official unof-
ficial weather man, Bill
Simmons, took off on a
Christmas vacation just
when he was needed and
wasn't available to give the
rainfall for Sunday night
and Monday.


ETAOIN SHRDLU

By WESLEY R. RAMSEY


One of the stories of Christmas is the Charles
Dickens' story of Scrooge and Bob Cratchet.
Scrooge, you know, was a tight-wad and has lent
his name to the more conservative of our number
down through the years.
We have our own local Scrooges, only not to
the point of depriving a person of a morsel to eat
as the Dickens' Scrooge did to Bob Cratchet and
his family. Our Scrooges are merely tight with
their money.
One example-and he caught a good bit of
ribbing about it at the County Commission
meeting Tuesday-is Jerry Gates, the Finance
Officer in Clerk Core's office. Jerry has what one
would politely call a dilapidated car he drives
back and forth to work. The old car looks as if it
is past the point of being able to put one piston in
front of the other. There is not a panel on the car
which hasn't been bashed in or scraped. I think it
is an old Buick, though one can hardly tell from

the shape it's in. Once upon a time it was blue.
Everyone began needling Jerry about
parting with some of his money and buying
himself a decent car and quit parking his bundle


Other Editors Say:


Hard to Understand


What Is Happening


Trying to understand what
is happening in the world
today is becoming more and
more difficult.
Take for instance some of
the news events reported in
recent days:
OPEC nations are expected
to raise oil prices despite
predictions such action will
increase inflation and slow
economic recovery in Western
nations, and the OPEC na-
tions, which have invested oil
dollars heavily in Western
economies, will lose along
with everybody else.
U. S. motorists faced with
increasing gasoline prices and
forecasts of fuel shortages
within six to 18 months spurn
gasoline-saving compacts and
buy larger cars.
Soviet Union continues huge
.armament spending, while the
United States devotes smaller
and smaller percentage of
budget to defense.
A convicted killer, who
showed his victims no mercy,
becomes a cause celebre for
those who would save his life
despite his pleas to have his
execution carried out.
British workers, whose very
economic welfare depends on
their nation's ability to export
finished products and whose
nation is floundering in the
shoals of bankruptcy, continue
to go out on strike over every
minor grievance voiced by one
worker, thereby interrupting
production, increasing the per
unit cost and making them-
selves less competitive with
other nations, which decreas-
es exports and further under-
mines their existence.
Americans, who owe their
high standard of living to the
free enterprise economic sys-
tem, continue to look to gov-


ernment, whose failures in
trying to solve problems are
legion, to end unemployment
rather than demanding that
government restrictions
which are hampering growth
be removed from business.

Comments from New York
officials seeking a way out of
that city's bankrupt condition,
include schemes to borrow
more money, ways of putting
off paying current debt, and
having the federal govern-
ment take over some pro-
grams, but not one word about
cutting excessive spending
(which caused the problem to


begin with) to bring outgo in
line with income.
President Ford, along with
other national politicians, who
spit denunciations everytime
an industry announces a price
hike of one, two, or even eix
per cent, and a union an-
nounces its going after pay
raises to keep up with infla-
tion, proposes raising Con-
gressional salaries and those
of other top-level federal offi-
cials by as much as 40 per
cent, and doesn't blink an eye.
Sometimes we feel that the
whole world has stepped
through Alice's looking glass.
-Tallahassee Democrat


Murphy Outlines Plans

for Sheriff's Office


Gulf County Sheriff-elect,
Ken Murphy spoke to the
regular meeting of the Mer-
chant's Association Friday at
noon. outlining some of his
plans for the Sheriff's office
once he assumes his duties on
January 4.
Murphy said he knew some
of his listeners had supported
him and some had not. "Now
that I am the Sheriff, the best
way I can serve you is to have
the cooperation of all of you. I
want your support in order to
do you a better job".
Murphy said Gulf County
didn't have any organized
crime as the average person
understood the definition.
"Organized crime". "We
can't ignore the fact that the
drug problem is operated by
organized crime and we do
have a drug problem, even
though it is small compared to
other places. Therefore, we
have organized crime and


have to deal with it", Murphy
said. "We plan to vigorously
oppose the drug problem and
even to try to prevent it before
it happens with an education
program beginning with first
grade pupils," the Sheriff-
elect said.
Murphy said the Sheriff's
office budget wasn't as big as
it could be. "but we will make
do with what we have until we
can do better". Murphy said
there were no funds for a chief
deputy and other personnel
and materials the department
needed. "Many smaller coun-
ties have bigger budgets and
more men than we have",
Murphy said.
The newly-elected Sheriff
said he was planning to see
that his personnel offered
good service and cooperates
with other law enforcement in
the county. "We will stress
friendliness, helpfulness and
courtesy".


of scrap iron outside the Courthouse. What
started it all was some people complaining about
wrecked and abandoned cars beginning to pile
up in their neighborhood. When one begins to
think about wrecks and cars which should be
abandoned, he naturally thinks of Jerry's car, if
one is familiar with what is left of it.
Jerry says it runs fine and gets him there
and back.
Otis Davis and Skull Owens said recently
there was a crop of turnip greens growing in the
floor of the back seat. They had witnesses to this
fact. This bears out the fact that Jerry's car has
passed all usefulness as well as escetic qualities.
The weeds are trying to grow up through what
they recognize as an old wreck. Jerry just won't
park it long enough for them to get a good hold.

If we could go back to Thanksgiving day for
just a moment or two, we could come up with
something else we are thankful for.
We're thankful we don't have a school
system with some of the rules they have in
Washington state.
Saturday morning, I was sitting at the
breakfast table reading the paper and I came
across an article which made the papers
explaining that a school in Olympia, Wash., had
a Christmas program, all right, but they had to
do it without mentioning or alluding to the birth
of Jesus Christ. The School Board had passed a
ruling that no mention could be made of the
Saviour for fear of fostering a religion.
There was no Nativity scene. No skits
featuring Mary, Joseph, the three wise men,
baby Jesus and shepherds.
One official in the state wondered why they
even bothered to have a Christmas program at
all, since Christmas is a celebration of the
birthday of this Christ who has caused so many
people so much consternation about what they
should and shouldn't believe.
How can one even call Christmas "Christ-
mas" without violating the ruling set down by
the school. Since the name of Christ makes up
the majority of the word, I feel the governing
body of this school district has missed a bet in
making sure the children of their community
don't get the idea there ever was such a person
who walked on this earth and left such an
indelible impression that a book of his sayings
and actions has survived some of the most
zealous efforts to destroy it.
If you take the "Christ" out of "Christmas",
all you have left is "mas". Even one meaning of
this word is to worship. Eliminate the "mass"
and you have nothing left, which is a pretty good
description of Christmas without Christ.

The Arabs say it's now going to cost the
world more for its oil. That's a fine Christmas
present to spring on a world already straining at
the spectre of inflation which is threatening to
destroy many of the former great nations of our
world.
The money hungry Arabs think if they can
get more for their oil they will be able to buy
more. In reality, what they are doing is running
up the price of what they buy even higher.
The Saudi Arabians seemed to see the
handwriting on the wall and broke with their
brothers in OPEC and refused to hike their
prices at the rate proposed by the majority of
OPEC. Saudi Arabia wanted to hold the price
line and finally agreed to levy a five percent
increase while nine of the 11 member organiza-
tion agreed to hike their prices 15 percent.
I wonder if that oil is going to taste good
spread on a piece of bread ... if they can buy a
piece of bread to spread it on.

Reconstruction of City



Pier Is Nearly Completed


With the exception of some
painting and the decorative
cupola and weather vane on
the top, the City recreation
pier at the west end of Fifth
Street is complete, the con-
tractor, Kolmetz Construction
Co., notified the Commission
Monday night by letter. Kol-
metz asked for his final pay-
ment on the project, less a 10
percent retainer until the
painting and cupola could be
completed. Weather has slow-
ed the painting and the cupola
and weather vane have not
arrived from the manufac-
turer yet.
E. F. Gunn, who has super-
vised the project for the City
said, "I think this pier will
survive a storm. It's well
built, sturdy and designed so
the floor won't float away like
the other one did".
PROVIDE SHELTER
The Commission agreed to
allow the Ministerial Associa-
) tion to use rooms upstairs over
the Police Station in the City
Hall as an overnight hostel for
transients who find them-
selves on the road and broke,
The Ministerial Assoaiction is
to supervise the program and
care for the rooms.
Rev. Bill Heaton, pastor of
the First Baptist Church and
representing the Ministers
said that occasionally they are
called on to provide overnight
lodging when they arrive here
broke and in need of shelter.
"We would use the rooms only
in cases where families are
involved", Heaton said. Their
usual practice is to lodge
single men in a jail cell and
Rev. Heaton said they would
continue this practice.
The Ministerial Association
will furnish the room and
provide linens.
The Commission agreed to
put the bathroom facilities
and heating in good condition
in the small apartment, which
was originally designed to
house firemen.
TO MEET
The Commission was noti-
fied by Commissioner Gerald
Sullivan that the County Com-
mission wishes to meet with
the City to iron out an agree-
ment for furnishing water and


sewer services to the Oak
Grove Water and Sewer Dis-
trict. Bids are expected to be
called for construction of the
system in early January.
The County wants the City to
sell treated water to the
system, collect the sewage for
treatment in the Wastewater
Treatment plant and take care
of the meter reading and
billing chores.
The agreement to be worked
out is how much this is going
to cost the customers on the
system.


A tentative agreement of
around $11.00 a month was
reached some time ago when
the system was in the planning
stage.
OTHER BUSINESS
In other' matters of business
in the short session Monday
night, the Commission:
-Refused use of the Cen-
tennial Building for a week to
Evangelist R. L. Wicker and
for a one night stand to a
Jacksonville wrestling pro-
moter.
-Agreed to take bids on


carpeting the work area of the
City Hall. The City has the
money for the project in
uncommitted funds.
-Agreed to place a tele-
phone in the Washington gym-
nasium provided the phone
company could provide an
installation which could not be
used for long distance calls.
-Agreed to hire Leo F.

supervisor of Chipola Junior

intendent at Municipal Hospi-
tal.

the point of a sawed-off shot-
gun.
Police Chief H. W. Griffin
said police found a spot under
a tree across the street from
the service station where the
robber apparently waited his
chance to enter the station
undetected to pull his heist.
Griffin said police surmise
that the stick-up man came
and left on foot after pulling
his daring hold-up.
Tomlinson, who was in the
hospital until Monday of this
week from the beating the
robber gave him in the hold-
up, said he was sitting at his
desk reading when, all of a
sudden, there was a man
standing beside him.
Tomlinson said he looked up
and the robber poked the
shotgun in his face and said,
"Old man, give me your
money".
The veteran service station
operator said he brushed the
gun aside from his face and
the man, who was wearing a
stocking over his face, snarl-
ed, "I'm not kidding;' this is a
stick-up", and then hit him in
the head with a gun butt.
Tomlinson, said the blow
knocked him out of his chair to
the floor in front of the cash
register. The thief then hit
Tomlinson in the head with the
gun again, at least two more
times. Tomlinson said he re-
membered the thief taking the
money out of the cash register
and dropping much of it on the
floor while trying to stuff it
into his pockets.
"Then, I passed out", Tom-
linson said.
Sometime during the beat-
ing, either the thief fired to
scare Tomlinson or the gun
went off accidentally. The
pellets struck the base of a
heater in the station, which
was only inches away from
Tomlinson's head. Tomlinson
said he couldn't remember
just when the shot came, but
he could remember it going
past his shoulder and striking
the stove.
Tomlinson was taken to
Municipal Hospital where he
was treated for three nasty
cuts on the head, made by
blows from the butt of the gun.
He also had lacerations about
the wrist and hands where he
had apparently tried to shield
his head during the beating.
According to Chief of Police
H. W. Griffin, this was only the
second strong-arm robbery in
his tenure as Police Chief,
which stretches back to the
'40's. Griffin said the only
other robbery by force in the
City was against a fabric shop,
operated by Mrs. Braxton
Ward, and happened about
three years ago.

Two FDCLE Men



Quit After Report


A grand jury report, issued here in Port
St. Joe'on Monday of last week, was termed
"only a small factor" in the resignation of a
top Florida Department of Criminal Law
Enforcement top agency official last Thurs-
day. The jury report charged two members of
the FDCLE with leaking derogatory stories
about a state legislator, Rep. Billy Joe Rish of
Port St. Joe, to Gulf County Judge David
Taunton.
FDCLE director William Troelstrup de-
manded the regisnation Wednesday of last
week from Lloyd First, who headed a key
division in the agency,
The St. Petersburg Times reported that
First was one of two agents apparently
referred to in the grand jury presentment that
criticized the department for its handling of
an investigation of Rish.
However, Bob Pennington, FDCLE in-
formation director, criticized news reports on
the resignation and said that the emphasis on
the grand jury report had been overstated.
"That is a separate issue entirely. It was
only a small factor" in the resignation,
Pennington said.
He said the resignation was "based on
`differences of opinion over management


concepts that have existed for several
months."
First refused all comment on his resigna-
tion, which took effect on Friday of last week.
A Gulf Couinty grand jury last Monday
issued a report clearing Rish and former
state Senator George Tapper of any wrongdo-
ing. The panel said they had been the victims
of "unfounded allegations."
Rish became the subject of the grand jury
probe after County Judge David L. Taunton
publicly accused Rish of helping Tapper get
$3 million in public improvements on his land.
Taunton said the two men participated in
a "corrupt political scheme" to enhance the
value of Tapper's property.
While clearing Rish and Tapper, the
grand jury accused two unnamed FDCLE
agents of using Taunton to make public the
accusations against Rish and Tapper.
First and Don West, head of FDCLE's
West Florida field office, were the two agents
involved in investigating the initial accusa-
tions.
The FDCLE report to Gov. Reubin Askew
said no criminal law had been violated by
Rish and Tapper.

With record-breaking cold
temperatures descending
upon them, many
Southerners will be firing up
furnaces and fireplaces in an
effort to bring more warmth
into their homes. But before
you stack the logs in the
fireplace and turn up the
thermostats on the furnaces,
take time. to be sure your
heating equipment is ready
for a safe winter, says the
Insurance Information
Institute.
CHECK FURNACES AND
ROOM HEATERS --
In checking your furnace,
here are possible hazard areas
that the Institute
recommends you keep in
mind.
-- Keep any combustible
material away from your
furnace. Don't pile up old
papers or boxes near the heat.
-- Flue pipes, which are
usually not insulated, radiate
heat. Allow at least 18 inches
on all sides clear of anything
that can bum. Flues for
gas-fired furnaces can have as
little as six inches apart.
-- Those thin metal flue
pipes should be as short as
possible, and supported every
three feet. They should have


tight connections, be free of
rust, and be of the right size.
Check your local building
code for further details.
A word about room
heaters. Locate them away
from curtains, furniture and
other combustibles, and away
from doors, stairs and fire
exists. When buying a heater,
look for a safety approved
label, such as Underwriter's
Laboratories (UL), or the
American Gas Association for
gas heaters.
-- PREPARE YOUR
FIREPLACE --
Since many homes are now
being equipped with
fireplaces, homeowners
should take the time to
inspect their chimneys and
surroundings for possible fire
hazards. .Beginning from the
bottom and working through
to the top, here's how the
Institute says to check your
chimney.
-- Be sure the chimney is
well supported by a firm
foundation, such as a
concrete slab.
-- Check your hearth for an
adequate spark screen. Keep
rugs away.
-- Brick should be four
inches thick with a 5/8 inch
thick tile lining.


-- Unused flue openings
should be closed up with
solid masonry. Avoid metal
caps that could rust out.
Combustible building
material SHOULD NOT
touch the chimney.
-- Check for loose, leaning
or cracked bricks, particularly
in attics or concealed spaces.
-- Is your chimney high
enough? It should be at least
three feet above the roof
peak, and two feet above any
portion of the building within
10 feet.

By cleaning your chimney
once a year, you can
practically eliminate the risk
of having a chimney fire.
First, open the damper. Then
find an old sheet, dip it in
water, and wring it out. Hang
the sheet over the fireplace
opening to keep soot from
entering the room.
Fill a burlap sack or heavy
paper bag and take your
"sweeper" up to the roof.
Raise and lower the bag
inside the chimney several
times. That's it.
This holiday season
promises to be cold, but fun.
Remember: it's good to be
warm, but essential to be
safe. (PRN)

toward the $60 annual deduct-
ible for both 1976 and 1977
under the "carry-over" pro-
vision of Medicare medical
insurance, according to David
Robinson, Social Security Re-
presentative for Gulf County.
"Medicare medical insur-
ance can't help pay for your
covered medical expenses
until your record shows you've
had $60 in covered medical
expenses in a calendar year,"
Robinson said. "But people
who haven't had $66 in cover-
ed expenses beforee Ottober
should be sure to send in all
the bills for covered services
they receive in October,


November or December. Any
expenses you have during the
last three months of the year
that can be counted toward
your deductible for that year
can also be counted toward the
deductible for the next year,"
Robinson stated.
The carry-over rule helps
people who might otherwise
have to pay the $60 deductible
twice in a short period of
time-at the end of one year
and at the beginning of the
next year, Robinson explain-
ed.

Girl Scouts in Port St. Joe
travelled to Wewahitchka last
Friday to participate in the
Christmas parade. Brownie
Troops 150 and 118, and Junior
Troop 245 joined other units in
the march from the elementa-
ry school to the Courthouse.
Many friends and relatives
were along the parade route
and the girls sighted a special
friend and previous teacher,
Mrs. Sharon Gaskin.


Leaders and Scouts would
like to express their apprecia-
tion. to the First United Meth-
odist Church for providing a
bus for transportation, to Mr.
Jim Gregg for driving, and to
the- Wewahitchka parade or-
ganizers for the warm wel-
come to the area.
Returning home with voices
hoarse from songs and laugh-
ter, eyes strained from
searching the crowd, for


friends, and feet "only a little
bit tired" were members of
Troop 150, Lisa Handley, Do-
rita Clemons, Paula Ramsey,
Lizzie Hopps, Monica White,
Teresa Jones, Tina Webber,
Missy Plair, Marcy Stripling
with leaders Mrs. Bonny
Jones and Mrs. Lynda Gregg.
Homeward bound with band
music still ringing in their
ears and Santa's smile still on
their minds were members of


Troop 118, DeAnn Young,
Donna Young, Sheila Lucas,
Debbie Davis, Donna Creech,
Sharori Miller, Kim Harvey,
Sandra King, Tonya Peak,
Lynn Aman, Allison Smith and
Mrs. Ruth Lucas.
Juniors, with peppermint
sticks dribbling on their chins
and chocolate on their fingers,
were Leslie Wilder, Cathy
Weber, Trina Roberts, Lisa
Marshall, Hope Lane, Lori


Gregg, Kristi Gregg, Tonya
Cross, Dianne Burrows, Angel
Barbee, Mrs. Judy Barbee
and their leader, Mrs. Reba
Lane.
After leaving the bus, the
girls formed a large circle and
were dismissed with the
"Great Spirit" closing ritual.

In appreciation to the fine
customers of the Port St. Joe
Post Office, the Postmaster
and employees wish to ex-
press their grateful thanks for
the timely mailing of parcels
and cards this Christmas sea-
son.
According to Postmaster
Costin, there has not been
created a backlog of mail on
any one day. All preferential
mail was delivered on the
same day of arrival and all
outgoing mail dispatched on
regular schedule.
Due to the strike against the
United States Parcel Service,
the office handled approxi-
mately fifty percent more
parcels than it would normally
have had, the Postmaster
said.
The post office will be open
all day Friday, December
24th, with hours from 8:30
a.m. until 5:00 p.m.
A VERY MERRY CHRIST-
MAS AND PROSPEROUS
AND HAPPY 1977 is wished

Cautious Driving Urged


During Holiday Season


Once again this Christmas,
Southerners wilH take to the
roads -in unprecedented


numbers in order to share the
Christmas spirit with friends,
relatives and family.


The Insurance Information
Institute cautions Southern
residents to exercise care as
they travel across the nation
spreading holiday cheer.
With weather this winter
proving to be the most severe
in recent years, it will pay to
take notice of these safety
tips.
-. "55" is still the national
speed limit. When winter rain
and fog cover the road, it's
best to drive below the
posted speed limit. In thick
fog, do not stop, but slow
down and pull off the
highway.
-- Should it be necessary, a
shovel and some sand will
come in handy, as well as a
set of jumper cables.
-- For slowing and stopping
in snow, ice or rain, lightly
pump the brakes increasing
traction and lessening the
chances of skidding.
-- Winter's shorter days and
reduced visibility spell
trouble for pedestrians. Stay
especially alert.
A sobering reminder is that
half of the nation's fatal
highway accidents involve
alcohol. If you must have
"one for the road," make
sure you're off the road, and
spread the word among your
friends.

With winter here, it's time
for major tree and shrub
planting and transplanting.
There are several advantages
in planting during the winter,
instead of waiting until spring.
The plants are not actively
growing during this time and
less apt to be injured by shock
from planting. Too, the
weather and moisture during
the winter season is very
conducive to good plant ad-
justment as well as good
working weather for the gar-
dener.
Winter planting of trees and
shrubs allows the plants to
become well established prior
to spring growth and bloom
and prior to summer heat.
Research shows that roots of
plants continue to grow and to
develop during mild winter
days, even though foliage
areas do not.
You will find also that your
nurseryman has a good stock
of plants during the fall and
winter, and too, he can give
you more time and attention
during this season, whereas he
cannot during the rush of
spring.
The success of your land-
scape will depend greatly on
your ability to select plants
which will fit your particular
landscape need and situation.
Trees are always a must in
most landscape whether their
purpose is for shade, wind-
breaks, food, setting or atmo-
sphere. to *add color and

beauty with bloom and foli-
age, or to add esthetic and real
estate value to the property.
The ideal landscape tree
does not exist. Trees which
have desirable features also
have those that are undesir-
able. A tree may have beauti-
ful flowers in the spring,
followed by undesirable fruit
or seed pods in the fall. If a
tree is a fast, grower, it may
also be brittle and short-
lived.
All trees have advantages
and disadvantages, thus-your
selection must be carefully
considered. Points for consid-
eration in choosing the proper
tree should include the follow-
ing:
(1) Be sure the tree you
choose will fit your landscape
need. For example, fast grow-
ing for quick shade, broad and
spreading for shade, dense for
a windbreak or for screening
or attractive blooms for an
accent.
(2) Know the tree you select
and its growth requirements.
Know the tree's ultimate size
and plant accordingly. Does
the tree require special soil
(dogwood and redbud require
acid soil)? Does the tree have
serious insects and diseases
and will require routine main-
tenance?
(3) Be sure the tree is
tolerant of your local weather
conditions. Will it tolerate
Florida's summer heat, or is it
too tender for northern and

expansion of the few existing
programs.
In the early stages of the
program's development,
there were some trying
times when five or more pa-
tients would be needing dial-
ysis and only two could be di-
alysized. Who' would live?
Ten patients would be wait-
ing for transplants. Who
would get the donor's kid-
ney?
Fortunately, this trying
period is over. Currently
there are 31 centers in Flori-
da providing dialysis for
ambulatory patients and six
are providing back-up inpa-
tient dialysis. Seven centers
provide transplant facilities
and dialysis.
HRS medical officials say
that over 400 new cases of
failing kidneys are reported
annually in the state. Many
diseases that may occur at
any age affect the kidneys
and may eventually precipi-
tate failure. When conserva-
tive diet and drug treatment
fail to head off chronic fail-
ure, dialysis and-or trans-
plant offer a life-saving al-
ternative in most cases.
Organ donors are still
needed badly. The public
should realize that organ do-
nation after death is a hu-
manistic contribution of the
highest order.
Further information about
the program may be ob-
tained by writing" Kidney
Disease Program, HRS, 1323
Winewood Boulevard, Talla-
hassee, FL 32301. (AFNS)


As recently as ten years
ago, Florida residents with
chronic kidney failure faced
almost certain death un-
less they were wealthy and
could afford life-saving,
though expensive, dialysis
and kidney transplants.
Twenty years ago, dialysis
was not available at any
price and kidney transplants
were only in the stage of ex-
perimentation and research.
During the' 1960's only
large medical centers had
the necessary equipment
and staff to perform such
procedufes. Kidney trans-
plants could cost as much as
$40,000 assuming that a
compatible donor could be
found.
However, when the start-
ling news was out that life
could be preserved through
dialysis and transplant, it
became an imperative in the
lives of many kidney disease
victims and their loved ones.
Florida started a kidney
disease program in 1970,
with the Department of
Health and Rehabilitative
Services designated to de-
velop it. Supported by feder-
al funds assigned to the Re-
gional Medical Program, the
project began to aid the indi-
gent afflicted with failing
kidneys.
Then in 1973-74, the pro-
gram was budgeted by the
Florida Legislature for
$400,000. An advisory council
and program staff were es-
tablished, permitting the de-
velopment of standards and

central Florida's winters.
(4) Do you want an ever-
green or deciduous tree? Deci-
duous shade trees are re-
commended as they allow the
desirable sun when void of
leaves in the winter, whereas
an ever green tree may be"
desirable for screening.
(5) Consider overhead
lines, undergrGund waterlines,
septic tanks, etc., as well as
walks, drives and paved sur-

Patsy

Loves Her

Daddy

Dear Wesley,
Could you do me a great
favor and print this poem I
wrote about my Dad.
It is something special I felt
like doing at this time of year.
It would mean a lot to me for
others to see how much he is
loved. I don't believe in wait-
infig until someone is gone
before you do or say some-
thing meaningful about them.
Thank you if you can do this.
Thank you even if you can't.
You'll still be a hometown
friend and editor of a much
read hometown paper.
Sincerely,
Pat (Daniell) Kanne-
berg
ONLY ONE
There is only one Emmette
Daniell, he's just one of a kind.
And speaking as an only child,
he's mine, all mine.
No, he can't be mine alone,
that isn't quite fair. A man the
likes of him had to be born to
share.
To keep him apart from
others, would deprive many a
heart. From a sparkle in their
lives whom he would have a
part.
A lovely lady has shared his
1ulife that has a sparkle many
know. Between the two of
them, they have stirred up
quite a glow.
By sharing this man and
woman's love, they so freely
gave to me. There are four
children on the earth just as
happy as can be.
Many lives are touched in a
world by the pattern of one
man. He goes on in others
before the end of his life span.
: Some men are not known
world wide one such, is Em-
mette, by name. But to his
wife, daughter and grandkids,
he's in the hall of fame.

MEDKICL


MESSAGE
fron the Florida Doctors
The Heimlich Maneuver Could
Save You From Choking to Death


Despite the old saying, "What
you don't know can't hurt you,"
all too often the reverse is true.
That is especially so when it
comes to emergency situations,
where misconceptions can be
fatal.
Suppose it were up to you to
administer emergency first aid to
someone choking. What would
you do?
WHAT ISTHE HEIMLICH
MANEUVER?
The Heimlich Maneuver- a life
saving first-aid technique to
rescue individuals choking on
food has received the official
endorsement of the Florida
Medical Association and the
doctors of Florida.
This maneuver is believed to be a
most important addition to the
emergency procedures for the
person choking on food or other
objects that shut off the airway,
doctors state.
The technique developed by
Henry J. Heimlich, M.D., a
Cincinnati surgeon for whom it is
named, has saved thousands of
lives.
FOOD CHOKING SIXTH
LEADING CAUSE OF
ACCIDENTAL DEATH
Each year 3,900 healthy
individuals in the United States
strangle because of food stuck in
their throats, doctors.warn.
These are the known cases, but
there likely are many others that
are thought to be heart failure or
some other cause.
Food choking is the sixth
leading cause of accidental death
- victims number more than
those accidentally killed by fire-
arms or in airplane accidents.
Time is critical. There is less
than four minutes in which to act,
which means there is no time to
send for help.
TO PERFORM THE HEIMLICH
MANEUVER
Stand behind the victim (who is
choking on food) and wrap your
arms around his waist.
Grasp your fist with your other
hand and place the thumb side of
your fist against the victim's
abdomen, slightly above the
navel and below the rib cage.
Press your fist into the victim's
abdomen with a quick upward
thrust.
Repeat several times if neces-
sary, until the food is expelled.
Some restaurantisfow have
plastic tongs to grasp the object
and remove it. If they are avail-
able and the Heimlich Maneuver
fails, do not be afraid to use
them. Occasionally long fingers


have successfully grasped the
object- try the Heimlich
Maneuver first!
In the first nine months after the
maneuver was originally
described in June, 1974, Dr.
Heimlich received 162 communi-
cations reporting lives saved by
its use. In one instance, the
accident happened in a hospital
where a nurse, choking on an
orange segment was about to
undergo a tracheotomy, when a
physician ejected the orange
using the maneuver. In some
reports, the victim successfully
self-administered the maneuver
to relieve choking.


FURTHER SUGGESTIONS
FROM DOCTORS
It is important to apply pressure
with the fists below the rib cage,
doctors stress, to prevent break-
ing ribs of the victim by im-
properly performing the
maneuver. In several cases water
was expelled from throats and
lungs of drowning victims.
Doctors warn that a problem
facing the would-be rescuer is
one of diagnosis- is the person
who is choking and turning blue
actually choking on food, or is he
having a heart attack? Doctors
recommend that the victim give
the signal himself when possible.
If you choke on food, you won't
be able to talk. Grasp your throat
between the thumb and fore-
finger to let those around you
know that you are choking on
something in the throat, doctors
suggest.
The FMA's Committee on
Emergency Medical Services
reviews emergency first-aid
techniques and is constantly
searching for better methods.
This is part of the continuing
effort by the doctors in Florida to
provide the best and most up-to-
date medical care to all the
people in this state.
This is a medical message
from the Florida Medical
Association in behalf of the
doctors of Florida and as a
public service feature of this
newspaper.


All the good wishes for avery Merry Christ-
mas. W-e hope that you will continue to
honor us with yonr patronage.

ST. PETERSBURG W.
B. Mackall, Director of the
State of Florida's Division of
Veterans Affairs under the
Department of Community
Affairs, has been advised by
the Veterans Administration
that another decrease in the
GI home loan interest rate
ceiling became effective Oc-
tober 18, 1976. The new rate
is 8 percent which is a reduc-
tion from 8.5 percent set on
March 30, which rate had
previously been decreased
from 9 percent to 8.75 per-


PAGE ELEVEN


cent on January 5.
For a veteran buying a
home with a 30-year $30,000
GI loan, the point .5 percent
lowers the monthly payment
by about $10.50.
It could result in a savings
of almost $3,800 over the life
of a 30-year loan stated
Mackall.
This rate change does not
affect existing loans. Once a
loan is made, the interest
rate remains the same for
the life of the loan.
An increased supply of
mortgage money is the prin-
cipal reason for the lower in-
terest rate.
The VA guarantees loans
made by private lenders to

Stone Talks with Carter



On Florida Energy Issues


Sen. Richard (Dick) Stone
and President-elect Jimmy
Carter have met to discuss
energy issues, especially
those vital to Florida.
"U.S. dependence on im-
ported fuel has increased
since the Arab oil embargo
three years ago," said Sen.
Stone. "This winter, as the
OPEC leaders huddle in Qatar
to decide on an oil price hike,
it is more crucial than ever
that the U.S. develop its own
energy sources.
During his 30-minute con-
ference with the President-
elect at Blair House in Wash-
ington, D.C. on Dec. 9, Sen.
Stone discussed two energy
matters: his proposal to call a
National Leadership Confer-
ence on Energy Policy early
next year, and a Florida site
for the proposed multi-million
dollar Solar Energy Research
Institute (SERI).
"President-elect Carter as-
sured me that he would give
full consideration to selecting
a Florida site for the solar
research center if the decision
is not made by the Ford
Administration (ERDA) has
said it does not plan to
announce a decision until ear-


ly in 1977.
"We must improve our tech-
nology before we can tap the
sun's vast energy resources,"
said Sen. Stone, "and I pointed
out that Florida has two
excellent sites for the solar
energy research lab -- Cape
Canaveral and the greater
Miami area," said Sen. Stone.
"And experienced work force,
existing laboratory facilities,
and outstanding university
programs in the physical
sciences and engineering are
all available in the sunshine
state."
The SERI is scheduled to
operate in its first year on a $4
to $6 million budget with a
professional staff of 49 to 76. It
is expected to expand in
following years. The center's
research will support ERDA's
solar energy program and
promote industrial use of solar
energy technology.
President-elect Carter also
said he would give further
attention to Sen. Stone's pro-
posal for a National Leader-
ship Conference on Energy
Policy. Such a conference
would bring together repre-
sentatives from government,
industry, labor, consumer, en-


vironmental, and academic
groups to formulate a com-
prehensive energy plan.
Last year, the Senate passed
Sen. Stone's resolution calling
for the energy conference, but
the House of Representatives
failed to take action on the
proposal before it adjourned.
"I explained to Gov. Carter
that the energy conference
would provide an excellent
opportunity for the develop-
ment of specific and workable
alternatives to our ever-in-
creasing dependence on for-
eign oil," said Sen. Stone. "I
was particularly pleased that
President-elect Carter took so
much time from his busy
schedule to discuss energy
issues that are vital to Florida
and to the nation as a whole."

II I "I-


A STORY BY LAURA INGALLS WILDER


How Poor Pioneer Family



Marked Christ's Birthday


"Christmas was coming.
The little log house was
almost buried in snow.
Great drifts were banked
against the walls and win-
dows, and in the morning
when Pa opened the door,
there was a wall of snow
as high as Laura's head".
A paragraph from Laura
Ingalls Wilder's beloved
"Little Books" true
accounts of the pioneer
life that the writer exper-
ienced, from her 6th to
18th years in the 1870s
and 1880s; her restless
father moved his family
from a Wisconsin forest to
Indian Territory to Min-
nesota and finally to the
Dakota Territory.


The books were pub-
lished between 1935 and
1943.
The family endured
many hardships bit-
ter-cold winters as well
as stifling summer heat.
They lived first in a log
cabin, later in a dugout by
the creek, then, later in
shacks wherever fate
(and Father) moved them.
They went through cy-
clones, droughts, plagues
of cicadas, yet the Ingalls
family shared love and
faith in each other, and
they always celebrated
the birthday of the Christ
Child.
For a Christmas in the
big woods, when the house
was blanketed with snow,
Ma baked bread, beans,
cookies . distilled vine-
gar and baked dried apple
pies! Truly a doughty
soul. They entertained
relatives . Aunt Eliza
and Uncle Peter and the
- cousins who arrived on
- Christmas Eve on their
big bobsled, sleigh bells
Springing.
: Some other Ma and Pa
would have thrown up
their hands at the sight of
them maybe got the
shotgun off the cabin wall
and picked them off from
a window but not the
Ingalls! They shared their
good things the chil-
dren slept in a row on the
floor the grown-ups,
wherever they could find
space.
Christmas Eve found
them aglow with antici-
pation, in a circle of love.
In the morning the chil-
dren found gifts in their
stockings: a pair of bright
red knitted mittens and a
stick of red-and-white
striped mint candy. Guess
who the Christmas Fairy
was ? She must have earn-
ed her reward in heaven,
but that Christmas Day
she received all the reward
she wanted, in the sur-
prise and happiness ex-


pressed by every child.
For Laura, the smallest
child, there was also a
homemade rag doll with
black button eyes, black
yarn hair and a dress of
pink and blue calico a
doll "so beautiful that
Laura could not say a
word."
On other Christmases
there were no presents.
The Ingalls family were
lucky to have their lives.


However. Ma had saved a
bundle of "Youth's Com-
panions" that had. been
sent them by long-delayed
mail or via a passerby.
While the light lasted
they read the stories. Pa
even managed to buy the
store's last two cans of
oysters, so their Christ-
mas dinner had a festive
quality.
All the "Little Books"
tales are fascinating, and
you can be sure that the
adults who gave them to
children made a point to
read them first. The 'stor-
ies have an ageless, time-
less appeal. They contain
the essence of Christmas
. ..selflessness, apprecia-
tion of the simple joys,
and love of family life.


Our best wishes for a
wonderful Christmas season.

Back in the 1890's, every
well-furnished home had a
piano and one of the favor-
ite pastimes was to gather
around the family piano to
sing the popular tunes of
the day. At Christmas-
time, the joyous singing of
Christmas carols was an
important part of the hol-
iday scene, adding to the
festive mood of everyone
from Papa down to little
sister.
Today's fashions have
changed significantly and
the color TV set may now
occupy the place of honor
in most American homes
but you'll still find Christ-
mas carols a well-loved tra-
dition in family observanc-
es of the Yuletide season.
The sounds of favorite
carols are more apt to em-
anate from a stereo set
than from a player piano
but they're the same songs
that young ladies and their
beaux sang at the turn of
the century, with a few
modern additions. How-
ever, the traditional singing
of carols has not complete-
ly died out here many
church groups make a prac-
tice of caroling in local
hospitals and institutions,
and some carolers still go
from home to home in true
holiday fashion.
Many churches feature
an evening of beloved
Christmas music during
the holiday season, and of
course TV and radio sta-


tions offer many programs
of traditional and new
carols.
Folks from the Nineties
might be amazed at the
Christmas customs of today
but they'd be right at
home when it comes to
America's favorite holiday

It is estimated that 27
persons will die in Florida
traffic accidents during the
78-hour Christmas holiday
period said the Florida High-
way Patrol this week.
This estimate is based on
fatality experience during the
past three Christmas holidays
along with a one percent de-
crease in traffic fatalities
observed during the first 11
months of this year.
The official countdpwn


begins at 6:00 P.M., Friday,
December 24 and ends mid-
night, Sunday, December. 26.
"Drivers face greater dan-
gers of vehicle accidents dur-
ing the month of December
than any other month of the
year," advised Colonel El-
drige Beach, director of the
Patrol.
The Patrol Commander said
a maximum number of troop-
ers will be patroling the
highways and the FHP air-


planes will be used extensive-
ly during the holiday period.
"Enjoy the yuletride sea-
son, but when you are in your
automobile, take every pre-
caution. Leave early, avoid
heavy traffic whenever possi-


. &


ble, keep a watchful eye for
pedestrians and above all, if
you drink, don't drive," con-
cluded Colonel Beach.

SAY YOU SAW IT
IN THE STAR


'Twas the night before
Christmas and there in his
chair,
father was moaning and
tearing his hair.
While upstairs in bed, all still
and asleep,
the children didn't know
what made daddy weep.
The money had been paid,
the gifts had been bought,
and all was well with the
world, or father had thought.
He'd gone to the car, put the
toys on the seat,
and then to the market for
good things to eat.
He returned to the car, and
what did he find?
Some thief in the night had
stolen him blind.
Santa Claus won't be the
only person tiptoeing around
during Christmas carrying
gifts. Instead of giving gifts,
some people will be engaged
in the process of "taking,"
that is, stealing them. Thieves
such as these will be sneaking


The Star of Bethlehem
has been attributed to sev-
eral things through the
centuries: a conjunction
of the planets Jupiter, Sat-
urn and Mars; the planet
Venus at its brightest; the
sudden appearance of a
nova, or exploding star,
and a wholly supernatural
event.
Chinese annals record-
ed a comet visible for
about 70 days in March


Holiday Hors D'oeuvres


Hors d'oeuvres for holiday entertaining can be as easy to
make as they are fun to eat with these Cocktail Surprises. A
tender and tasty Cheddar cheese flavored crust (begun with a
dependable pie crust mix) wraps around your favorite fillings.
For variety, sprinkle some with dill weed, sesame or poppy seeds
and bake 'til golden brown. One bite will surprise and delight
your party guests and have them reaching for more!
COCKTAIL SURPRISES
One 10-oz. pkg, Flako Pitted dates
Pie Crust Mix Pitted prunes
1 cup (4 oz.) shredded Frankfurters, sliced 12-
sharp Cheddar cheese inch thick
Dash of cayenne or dry Smoked pork sausage links,
. mustard sliced V2-inch thick
1/4 cup cold water Cooked ham, cut into 1/2-
Pecan halves inch cubes
Stuffed green olives
Combine mix, cheese, cayenne and water; mix until well
blended. Shape to form ball; knead on lightly floured surface
about 1 minute or until smooth. Shape rounded teaspoonfuls of
dough around pecans, olives, dates, prunes, frankfurters, sau-
sage or ham to form ball. Sprinkle with dill weed, sesame or
poppy seed, if desired. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet in pre-
heated hot oven (400F.) 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve warm. Makes about 3/2 dozen appetizers.


through darkened parking
lots at busy shopping malls
prying open car doors and
trunks in their search for
goodies.
By taking to heart a few
pointers from the Insurance
Information Institute, you
may be able to avoid a scene
such as the one described
above.
-- When you are out
shopping and find it
necessary to leave your car
unattended with ifts inside,
always lock your purchases in
the trunk. Although
professional thieves can
reportedly pry open trunks in
30 seconds or less, the trunk
is still the safest place for
your valuables because it
removes the visible
temptation for would-be
robbers.
-- A move that will thwart
some thieves is this: after you
make a purchase and return
to the car with it, put it in
the trunk and then drive to


and April of 5 BC, the
approximate date when
many theologians believe
Jesus actually was born.


The Bible in certain
places gives a hint of
comets.
One passage so cited is
I Chron. 21, 16: "And
David lifted his eyes and
saw the angel of the Lord
standing between earth
and heaven, and in- his
hand a drawn sword
stretched out over Jerus-
alem."
Scholars today ask:
"Was it a comet, with its
tail extended far south-
ward like a sword ?" They
note that Pliny, the Ro-
man naturalist, classified
one type of comet as
"sword-shaped." Josephus
the historian noted that
an AD 66 comet, perhaps
Haley's, stood like a sword
in the sky over Jerusalem.

"The simile may have
been suggested to him by
I Chronicles, but the shape
of the comet apparently
justified it," one historian-
writer has observed.
When, according to the
Bible, in verse 27, God
"put his sword back in its
sheath," perhaps the com-
et lost its tail, as they
sometimes do.


another parking place, even if
it is in the same mall. And try
not to leave the car
unattended for any length of
time. If you are shopping-
with a group of friends, take
turns watching the car if
there are valuables inside.
-- Whenever possible, park
your car in a brightly-lit,
well-traveled area. And if you
lock your car, always take
your keys with you. The only
thing worse than losing your
Christmas gifts is losing your
entire car.
Possibly the hottest item
this Christmas for thieves is
the CB radio. By taking
precautions such as removing
your antenna and radio from
the car when it's left
unattended, you can avoid
the theft of this valuable
item. Ask your CB dealer for
other suggestions.
Above all, enjoy this
holiday season, and make
sure your gifts reach those
who deserve them. (PRN)

ativity. Soul food is really.
seasoning and cooking- foods
to taste.
The term "Soul Food" is
relatively new, having come
during this second half of the
20th century. It is used to
designate the foods that south-
erners have enjoyed for years,
reminding one of the big
Sunday dinners of the freed
slave family and the huge
wash pots of big one-dish
meals served during the week.
Among these meals is the
New Year's good luck meal,
hog jowls and blackeye peas
-tradition says that there's a
day's good luck for every pea
eaten.
The foods involved have
come from the huge wash pots
of the field hands and the
delicacies of the big house.
Simple, inexpensive foods
spiced with garlic, pepper,
bay leaves, and other condi-
ments syrup and molasses
have provided the mouth-
watering foods for hundreds of
years.
Hot breads accompany most
meals corn bread or hoe
cake every day; hot biscuits,
yeast rolls, and light bread
(white bread) on Sunday. Veg-
etables are seasoned always
with smoked ham, bacon, or
salt pork. The pig provided
the main source of meat and
was eaten from snout to tail,
including the entrails (chitter-
lings) and feet-stewed, fried,
roasted, smoked, pickled, or
barbecued.
Sweet potatoes, baked and
in pies, syrup molasses, home-
made preserves, and fruits,
fresh or dried, have been
added to the meals to make
them more satisfying.
To be certain, a "Touch of
Soul" means simple, rich,
nourishing foods always
served in abundance.
1 lb. hog jowl
1 lb. black-eyed peas
2 red pepper pods
I large onion
Salt and pepper
Place hog jowl, black-eyed
peas, red pepper pods, and
large onion iri sufficient water
to cover well. Bring to boil
and simmer one hour. Add
salt and pepper to taste. Con-
tinue cooking, adding water
when necessary until peas are
quite soft. Keep just enough
liquid to keep peas covered
when cooking. When done,
the "pot likker" should be
quite thick. Serve with hot
fluffy dry rice.
