THE CLINTON CHRONICLE h CUaton, S. (X, TtoMaf, Aofwt 1, IMS WASHINGTON AND "SMALL BUSINESS" By t. WILSON HARDER 44?- — Washington is chuckling over the discomfiture of the Federal Trade Commission. A univer- sity professor has taken what to the bureaucratic mind is the most treasonable stand pos sible in recommending that more practical businessmen i>e placed in key positions in a bureau. | * • * This heresy is coats hied In the prelim inary report on FTC opera tions by Prof.! Carl A. Auer bach. of the] University of Minnesota] Law School, c. W. Hardtr He was appointed staff director of a committee to study the operations of the administra tive branches of government. « o * Prof. Auerbach has recom mended that fewer lawyers be in top spots in the FTC, and in their places, that actual bus- inessmen be appointed. FTC officials are working day and night to suppress this draft. * o • Very bluntly, the report states that the FTC is not get ting the Job done its members ate paid to do. la addition, it states that the members of this tfretytoo^nnchlttme •‘policing’ advertising instead of cleaning up the market place ooo For some time, the enlarged FTC staff has been most busi ly engaged in analyzing ad vertising, probably because anybody can sit in an easy chair and pontificate on adver tising. At the same time, ac cording to the report on merg ers released by the House Small Business Committee, headed by Rep. Wright Pat man, discrimination and pref erential treatment in market place has hit all time high. 0 0 0 Recently in the Beaton Fed eral Court of Appeals the FTC was slapped down in one of the cases it employed to make headlines. It took action against a shaving soap adver tised on TV as effective in shaving sandpaper. 0 0 0 Of course, the commercial was quite silly as it can be as sumed shaving soap is bought to shave beards, not sandpa per. But inasmuch as sandpa per does not photograph well, in making the commercial a simulated sandpaper, or what is known on stage and TV as a prop” was used. This could not be done, the FTC ruled, ooo The court held otherwise, on the basis that deception is only concerned with what is seen on the screen, not what means are employed to achieve an affect to make up for defldenclea in photographic processes, ooo If the FTC had gotten way with this edict, it would have led to a whole series of rulings. ooo Of course, it is generally erety a feint, real objective Is control of all ooo Recently there was the inter esting development known as government “news manage ment” followed by career as sassination by news “leaks.’’ ooo Tims, It is quite refreshing for a university professor to VTC get busy evils existing and quit trying to RECREATION S NEWS Clinton was host to the western division of District Two Dixie Youth Tournament in which eight teams took part.

Dick Bolt of Trinity Ridge says j that cotton will be later than | usual. He believes that insecti cides will have to be applied | later in the season than usual, and that picking will not likely I begin until around the middle of September. Dick believes that the prospects are good for an above average crop for those! who have token care of it. Look out for spider mites. I They are on the inccease in every area of the county, they are hard to control, too. Cotton farmers ViU profit by checking fields often using the proper insecti cides. Boll worms are on the in crease also. In fact we have new reached the time of year where a build-up always occurs. A regu lar spray or dusting schedule! must be followed.. Tommy Blakely, Post Master | and Mayor of Ore, when I asked Tdm about his beef cattle herd said “every cow in the pasture has had a calf and I wouldn’t be | surprised if the bull has one.” Hugh Marlor of Green Pond I believes that 4-H is next to the church in developing our young! people. Mr. Marlar has sent me] word that his cantaloupes are ripe and would like for me to come up and help myself. How ever, he says there is a black widow spider under everyone of! 'hem. The corn crop is tops. Farmers [ who used pre-emerge chemicals are making at least 25 per cent | more per acre on an average. This in addition to the fact that I no plowing was required. Dairy armers who are successful will lave to resort to chemicals such as corn pre-emerge to control weeds. The cultivator just won’t! do it. The weeds grow as fast as | the corn. Borers are destroying dog woods. The last few days we I have had a number of calls con cerning dogwoods dying. In al-| most every case we find the bor ers.
