It *is a way of living in which you as an individual are important. Little things make up this way of living, but think what you would lose if you ever surrendered it: Free Enterprise is the right to open a gas station or grocery store or buy a farm, if you want to be your own boss, or change your job if you don't like the one you have.

Free Enterprise is looking on a policeman as someone to protect you, on a judge as a friend to help you. Free Enterprise is the right 1 to rear your children as you c think best. Free Enterprise is the right p to speak freely about anything you wish. * Free Enterprise has nothing to do with how much j money you have or don't v have, nor what your job is or is not.

Hong: Kong: Textiles Shipments of grey piece goods, especially sheeting, from Hong Kong to the United States are breaking all records and causing development of a booming business for Hong Kong textile mills, a U. S. government official has reported to Washington. The official's statement was reported at the same time as government figures w h i c h show that imports of cotton cloth from foreign countries during April, May and June were 19 per cent higher than | shipments into the United . States during the first three j months of the year. During ] April, May and June, foreign ] textile mills sent 45,300.000 ( square yards of cotton cloth , into this country. ] At the same time, govern- ; ment figures show that ship- i m e n t s of American-made goods to other countries dur- 1 ing the first six months of j 1959 fell 12 per cent below 1 shipments for the first six ] months last year. Textile spokesmen have < poiniea oui that the rising shipments of foreign textile products to the United States are expected to continue un- < der present government policies. They have also pointed < out that the rising amount < of foreign-made goods will ! continue to hurt the Ameri- < can textile industry and cause American mills to lose i more and more business in ] the United States and other < countries, thus affecting the jobs of many American tex- ! t'le employees. : vnn ani) the 4 TUU CLINTON CI The Clothmaker could not t< n one edition or several edi- 1; ions tell the whole story of t< the Greater c Clinton Com- > munity Chest, a ^Wc could hard- t ly even list on S these pages t the many im- b p o r t a n t and t charitable n functions and a services per- n nrmpfl as n mattpr nf cmirsn n iv the United Chest agencies, t 'lit now?just before the an- s lual United Chest Drive gets f inderway next month ? we I. an at least portray one of he typical services per- r ormed so tirelessly by one v 1) of the twenty (20) partici- t Kiting agencies.
