. . . Joyous Christmas ‘
reoagatuld
@hp ttntp is here again for an editorial ex
-2z pression of the Christmas meaning. We
* mf"?’/fi_ have a feeling of inadequacy at this
- holiday, as we do at other holidays.
Willis E. Stone, chairman of the Liberty Amendment com
mittee of the United States, has an effective appreach. Here
is what he says:
“It’s CHRISTMAS again, that wonderful season in
which the goodness of mankind becomes manifest, and the
miracle of the nativity holds us enthralled.
“It’s the old story, ever new. It is now 1963 years since
the Christ child came to dwell amongst men. He was the
Prince of Peace, the fulfillment of Prophecy, yet He was born
in the poverty of a manger behind the Inn at Bethlehem that
He might better lead mankind along the way to freedom and
tranquility.
“A crown of gold was His for the taking, for there were
multitudes, then as now, ready to follow a leader bent on
plunder and conquest, but He chose a Crown of Thorns. His
mission on earth was to give, and not to take.
THE TRUTH
“He taught the fundamental principles cf life by parable
and example, yet there were few to do Him honor, and fewer
still to belicve in the Divine concepts of individual liberty,
equality and justice which He gave the world. His life con

Gas Storage Field
Will Be Activated
\
The Power Commission at Wash
ington has approved a billion dol
lar project designed to provide a
long-terin supply of natural gas for
north-eastern markets at a stable
price.
The project involves construc
tion of natural gas pipeline facili
ties at a cost of about $125 million,
by Texas Eastern corporation of
Houston, and Algonquin Gas Trans
mission company of Boston.
It also involves the sale of some
$843 million worth of natural gas
from the west Delta block 27 field,
offshore Plaquemine parish, Louisi
o by the Gulf Oil corporation
fouston to Texas Eastern.
Eastern is to increase the
iy capacity of its Texas to
?k pipe line system by 408,-
cubic feet over a 4-year
i at a cost of about S2OO mil
- .aigonquin - will build facilities
costing about $15.2 million to in
crease its system capacity to en
able it to sell for resale an addi
tional 20,934,000 cubic feet of gas
daily.
The commission said the sale by
Gulf guarantees the availability of
a substantial quantity of gas at a
price which, when taken at a high
load factor, is in the public interest.
As part of the project, Texas
Eastern was authorized to convert
and activate the Accident gas field,
an existing gas producing facility
in this county, into an underground
slorage reservoir.

84 Percent of 1963
Real and Personal
Taxes Is Received
Approximately 84 percent of the
1963 real and personal property
taxes has been coliected by Joseph
H. Welch, county treasurer, up to
the first of December, he revealed
Saturday morning.
Mr. Weleh said he was expected
to collect $760.,500 in real and per
sonal property taxes and had re
ceived $646,308 up to this time, of
about 84 percent. This compared
with 82 percent collected at the
same time last year.
On Railroad and Public Utilities
he was expected to collect some
$290,575 and had collected $288,000
up to this time for a total of 974
percent.
Taxes on business properties had
not been collected to any such per
centage. On a total of some $83,000
the treasurer had collecied $33,681
for a total of 40.6 percent. This was
less than the 47 percent of last
year. He said that business men
had been in the habit of paying
their taxes about the time they
apply for license renewal the fol
lowing year. Most of the tax money
on business propesties will be paid
next April or May.

Delbert Bittinger
Named Chairman
.
Of Sanitary Group
Delbert Bittinger, of Mt. Lake
Park, was named chairman of the
County’s Sanitary commission
which was organized at a meeting
last Wednesday night.
Earl Haenftling, Accident was
named secrctary-treasurer. Law
rence Grove, Mt. Lake Park, is
the third member of the commis
sion.
The three members of the com
mission will meet with the County
Commissioners on Monday, De
cember 30, to discuss pollution and
possible sewage systems, and Mr.
Bittinger said at that time the
Commissioners were to decide
whether to appropriate sufficient
funds that would be made avail
able to the commission to hire an
engineer to make a survey of the
district.
The district includes Oakland,
Mt. Lake Park and Loch Lynn
Heights. The commission is con
sidering the possibility of a sew
age disposal plant and the lagoon
system of taking care of the prob
lem. The lagoon system is by far
the more economical, it was stated,
and there is a chance that such a
system would be the best for this
area. Bittinger said that there are
state and federal funds available
whereby each would furnish 25
percent of any cost of construction.
Bittinger also said that any
money provided by the County
Commissioners would be return
able to them if any system of pol
lution control was adopted by the
commission.
