"He is Risen.'’ Down through the ages, the holy message of Easter comes to us, renewing the glorious promise of life eternal. Church services on > — Easter Sunday reverently, joyously express the heart-lifting wonder and beauty of the Day. As you worship in the church of your choice, with your loved ones, your friends and neighbors, may the blessings, the spiritual radiance of Easter be yours. Congratulations... The Chronicle extends congratulations to Jim Wolfe upon his retirement after two years as president of the Clinton Chamber of Commerce. The presidency of the Chamber of Com merce is one of those tasks that has to be assumed by some upstanding man who has the welfare of his community at heart, and which often goes unrewarded even with the thanks of those whom he serves. We don’t know of any man in recent years ; who has worked harder at the job than has Jim. and we are taking the liberty of speak ing for the community when we tell him that we are sure he has just that—the warm and sincere thanks ofyihis fellow townsmen for his service to Clinton and its citizens. And to the new president—Jim Y T on Hollen —our felicitations as he takes over the reins and begins where Wolfe leaves off in what we hope w ill tie a year of fruitful endeavor. union, and the extension of the anti-trust laws to the unions. These are basic princi ples, and it will be a tragedy if Congress bogs down in discussing details and ignores them. »xmMi«wim»iniNwiiRnic«K8ciHH»8Xxx:«-a«-»»‘ SENSING THE NEWS By THURMAN SENSING Exvcutivs Vic* Pr*sid*ni Southern State* Industrial Council Mary Cunningham To Receive Diploma In Music In June Mary ^Cunningham, Clinton High School student, will receive her high school diploma in music this June from the National Guild Association She auditioned before a represen tative from the association Friday.

Farm Housing Loan Requirements Eased Requirements for obtaining Farm Housing loans through the Farmers Home Administration are being al tered to permit more loans to ease the farm housing situation, it was announced today by Henry Mitchell, County Supervisor of the Farmers Home Administration. Until today, many applications were rejected because the applicant did not own a satisfactory farm, Mr. Mitchell said. Under new in structions from Washington, a farm includes the total acreage of one or more tracts of land owned by the applicant and operated as an indi vidual farm which is in agricultural production and annually will pro duce agricultural commodities for sale and home use which have a gross value of not less than $400 00 based on 1944 prices. Other requirements as to repay ment ability and non-availability of credit remain unchanged, Mr Mit chell said. • % • **♦*»*•• Plain Horse Sense “All in all. this year will likely l>e one of continuing world tensions. A quarreling Con gress with charges and countercharges fo*- political strategy will probably create an area of imbalance and uncertainty. . . . "There is ample capital in 'America and ample know-how to meet whatever confronts us, provided people get over their 'jitters They always have in the past even w hen con-J fronted by world wars big and little, and it is the writer’s considered opinion such will be the case again in 1958." — E. C. Sammons, President t\ S. National Bank.of Portland. Oregon. it A Question Of Special Privilege There is no doubt that the Administra tion's proposed lalior program has merit and is needed. At the same time, in the view of a great many people, it leaves untouched cer tain abuses, made possible by existing law or lack of law. which are at the very heart of the critical labor problem. ” • For example. National Review has point ed out that the program has nothing to say on these subjects: “A. The'fact that millions of American workers are coerced into join ing organizations not of their free choosing, as a condition of making a living. B. The fact that labor unions are exempt from the laws against monopoly and coercive practices that apply to all other economic associations. C. The fact that unions are privileged to use their tax-exempt incomes for political pur poses prohibited to all businesses and busi ness associations, and to all other tax-exempt institutions of any kind whatsoever.” In other words, the unions have enormous privileges that are flatly denied to all other citizens and organizations. Out of these priv ileges have come monopoly and, in certain in stances. flagrant corruption. Every worker and consumer in this country has been pen alized. whether they yet realize it or not. The primary needed reforms are two: The nght-to-work law, which fives each worker the free r ho tee of joiniaf or not joining a SOME THOUGHTS ON OUR ECONOMY The reason taxes should be cut now—and appa rently they will be cut in one manner or another—is mainly because taxes should have been cut long ago, anyway, and not especially because of the present business slump It is to be doubted that a tax cut would have a great deal of effect right now so far as spurring the economy is concerned, except in the case of corporation tax cuts where the money could be put into plant and equpirm'Yit immediately and provide more work and more jobs However, politicians be ing constituted as they are. that is the least likely place they will make any substantial cut As a matter of fact, tax cutting in and of itself would be the worst thing that could happen to our economy right now unless expenditures were cut at the same time To cut taxes and simply add that much more to the national debt would only make bad matters worse When a man who is mortgaged to the hilt needs money he knows full well that to add to his debts—even if he could—would simply only make it harder on him later on. so he takes the more sensible course of cutting fits expenses to the very bone That is the path our government should follow. f>f course, w hat i> happening right now is that we I 8 are paying for our'extravagant wasteful living during recent prosperous years. If we had used good com- j S mon sense during those years, we would have been; g spending $5 billion to $10 billion less than our income' J-j and applying the surplus to payment of the national k debt Then, when a recession hit us, as is now case, we would have this margin to use in remedying j-j the situation in whatever way seemed best. We are[8 now simply paying the penaTy for that indifference g to sound economic policy •; With reference to our present unemployment of g slightly over 5 million, it should be pointed out that j g between 2 million and 3 million have been unemploy- |-| ed all along—and perhaps always will be Periodic unemployment is bad all right—but there are some 8 things worse For instance, they perhaps never have 8 unemployment in totalitarian nations—but neither do they have freedom in such nations We do not like our recessions and depressions that come and go—but they are better than the permanent depressions and || chronic low standards of living brought about by the t.| planned economics and state control of socialist and communist countries A free economy will always cure its own reces sion and unemployment troubles if natural economic laws are allowed to take thetir course. Government meddling with these laws only serves to worsen the stiuation, and actually turn a temporary*economic recession into a chronic depression That is exactly what happened in the Great Depression in the 1930’s, which was not ended until the outbreak of the Second World War in Europe—and we are quite sure none of us want to depend on another war to help us out of our present troubles. There is no doubt one lesson we are learning all over again from the current recession: namely, that there is no such thing as permanent prosperity In the very nature of things there must be ups and downs Not many months ago we seemed to have once more reached the conclusion—as we did in the 1920 s—that there could never be another set-back on the permanent road to prosperity But natural laws seem to have a way of bringing people up with a jolt when they reach the point where they consider them selves no longer subject f o them. Almost everything w?) are doing now. or Ire pre paring to do, leads us to further inflation It seems that neither party has the political courage to fO; counter to the inflationary trend As a matter of fact. 1 we are beginmag to doubt that the American people have the Mamina and wiBkagaess to nnderfa the cor Now-Cust< Schemes PANCl YOU* HOMS WITH IOVEIY Own*— NOtMAN DKAmiES N*w yM cm htv* Sm, <mlM>-Ual«r*a •• IractiM «i !l» one* yaw laid opact fa pay) CXaata baauMal aaw 4a<a**- •af-Sala<ta4 pattaraa and cal art, carralafad la today's matt p a p a I a r facaitora f f*H i An* f All dra»«ri— k«v« 100% ckrMiApMfi liningt 14- x 90- long S.
