God alone can give man the power to walk in peace with a sincere and true heart. Even a condemned murderer through faith in the a'toning power of the cross of the Son of God can be born from above. He rises out of the life of lust and pride, filthy flesh and death, into the light of eternity, entering with triumph into the heavenlies, welcomes by an innumerable company of angels!

Be it ordaine'd by the Town Council of the Town of Clinton. South Carolina, in Council assem bled: ^ Section 1. No person shall hereafter cut or excavate in any street or road within the corpor ate limits of the Town of Clinton for the purpose of laying, or re pairing pipes for sewer, water, gas or steam, or for any other purpose unless he shall have pre viously obtained ‘from the .city clerk permissidn to cut or exca vate in such street or road. Section 2 The application for such permission shall be made to the city clerk in writing and shall state the work to be done and the “There’s no place for small business, or small unions.” • v • This statement would even sound odd coming from » theor etical economist. * * • But this statement was made by what might be called a “prac tical" ecbno-f mist. * • * The declarer] of this princl-j pie, James] Hoff a, head ofj the teamsters] union In Mid west, has shown he has support] of force in var-| lous forms to C. W. Hardtr put his theory into effect. * * o Who is HofTa? He Is Dave Beck's chief henchman in vital trucking area of 13 midwestem states, and is now extending in to, 12 southern states. • * * Hoff a baa paid fines for viola tions of labor laws, but this does not seem to deter him a bit. In fact, he usually winds up threat ening reprisals against those who made it possible for him to be brought to Justice. So far, he ap pears to have made good on many of these threats. * * * He has also been responsible for driving hut of business quite a few independent truck opera tors competing with big outfits. • e • In meantime, Hoffa has not done too badly. Although he boaata he will not ten internal revenue service his Income, sev eral Congressional Investigations have disclosed many Interesting items. * * a While Hoffa never went beyond eighth grade, he has $21,000 year •alary, plus unlimited expense account from a million dollar treasury. In addition, he is a con- & Nitlotl FxlOTtloB «t Xad^endtBt BmLmm By C. WILSON HARDER trolling factor v in union welfare funds. * * • And although Congressional hearings also bring out his bus iness experience was limited to two years as a grocery ware houseman, Hoffa owns invest ments In oil leases, a farm, brew ery, race track, girls camp. * * • In addition, his wife owns a truck leasing firm that hires no members of the union, but mere ly leases equipment to a firm. • • * In a smooth deal, under her maiden name, Josephine Posty- wak, Mrs. Hoffa and wife of an other union official, only put up $4,000 to start a major truck leas ing operation which paid them $65,000 dividends in four years. A lot of Hoffa’s union members lost Jobs as result of this deal, but it appears that the only con cern with union welfare is the balance in the welfare fund. ' * * • And so it is quite logical Jim my Hoffa should proclaim the day of the small business and small union is gone as long as he runs both the union and trucking bus iness. If he had said “the days of everybody but the Hoffas' is gone" lots of people would have been Inclined on basis of past experience, to agree. * * * Bnt here is odd thing about en tire situation. • * * Although millions know about Hoffa’s activities, so far no one, in this adrhffiistration, or last, has been able to cut down on Hoffa, and other little Caesars of his ilk. • * • This situation oft causes won der as to what business the U.
