THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Thuredav. September 22. I960 Good News From Winthrop Encouraging news came from Winthrop. the state’s College for Women, the other day, when announcement was made that enroll ment for the new term had reached the higViest {»eak since the 1941-42 session. Figures following the first day of enroll ment showed that 1.628 students had regis tered. an increase of 20.5 per cent over the 1959 registration. Winthrop Follege has had some difficult >ears sime 1‘*41-42. and the state owes a debt of gratitude to former l*residenr Sims for putting the college "on the road back" lefore he relinquished the chief executive's j«‘st last year. Ami President havis has given every in- dkatk*^ ’l’ hool the Friends and alumnae of Winthrop every. wf>en are delighted with the prospects that the institution now faces and confidently look t«» the future to bring an era of un- j»re> «stented progress. *ii he intends to see that the lontinues to improve anti to make it ege that it shoulti lie. Michigan Republican Praises Southerners Secretary of Commerce Frederick H. Mueller, in an address within the past week Itefore the Atlanta Rotary Club, said Ameri ca owtv “eternal gratitude to the Southem ouisenative statesmen in Congress.” The Michigan Republican said Southem Democrats in Congress have helped hold the line against inflation. "1 say to you and to the nation," said the Secretary, "that the South is true to the finest tradition of responsible government when her independent leaders and people refuse to join the radical pack in .their pell- mell rush to debt and” inflation.” Ami Secretary Mueller, better than al most any other public figure, knows whereot he si>eaks. For it 1 is in his own state of ATTeni- gan that the Democratic radicals and labor union losses have held sway for the past twelve years under ’Governor Soapy Wil liams. They have squeezed the economic life blood from the state and exhibited an era of-such irresponsible government that the Mate has been brought to its knees financi ally. That is an example for all the nation to >« t ; w hat will happen to the government of n I'nited States if put in the hands of Williams. Reuther. Stevenson, the Roosevelt U>ys. Eleanor the Great.

J. L. BOLTON. Correspondent Mr and Mrs Neal Morris and Since my”last"article on Ireland. ^Udrcn. Pam and Jane, of Duncan. I * —• Mrs What’s Wrong? During the next Congressional session a determined effort will l»e made to repeal that sex ram <>f the Taft-Hartley Act which authorized the state.s to'adopt right-to-wtirk laws—laws which guarantee that a worker can join or not join a union, as he so chooses, without coercion from either labor or man agement. So far. 2o states have adopted the laws. If the coming effort is successful, unre strained lal»or monopolies will lie in the saddle with a vengeance. Compulsory union ism—wh.,h means that man must join or st«.r\e — will become the rule. And this would !*e only the beginning. Senator Byrd of Virginia, iii announcing that he wxiuld opjiose rejieal of the section “with all my strength and ability.” said: "Power breeds fiower. and labor leaders are insatiable in their demands for special privilege and spe cial legislation for immunity. Repeal . . . would be followed by a drive to repeal all protective provisions in the Taft-Hartley Act and other statutes in the whole labor field.” There’s nothing anti-labor or anti-union in the right-to-wiork laws. All they do is to assert the principle that each individual has the right to decide for himself whether to join or not. And we say, “There ain’t nothing wrong with that.” According to l". S. News & World Re- l»ort. employers are finding that the cost of fringe benefits is increasing at a faster rate than wages. \ alue of these benefits was about $30.3 billion in 1959, and will be al most $4 billion larger this year.

Detroit, Philadelphia Columbia—Planning the location of another training school for men tally retarded children in South 1 Carolina was recommended by Dr. B O. Whitten, superintendent of Whitten Village near Clinton. Whitten told the committee on mental health and institutions the school should be located in the vi cinity of Charleston so it could be near the facilities of the State Medi cal College. * * Whitten Village is at capacity now, he said, with a long waiting list. He also suggested that provision be made at the new institution for aphasics and emotionally-disturbed children because Whitten Village cannot accept them at the present time. Whitten said he realized the new institution could not come “over night,” but said plans for it should be formulated now. OFFICE SUPPLIES CHRONICLE PUB. CO.
