WA THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Looking For A President... Maybe This b The Man Robert Nelson Taylor, editor with the U. S. Press Association, Inc., of Washing ton, in his weekly message to subscribers of his service came out with the following in his latest release: If you haven’t yet read that pocket- sized, dollar book, “James Allen Rhodes, Taxpayer’s Governor’,’’ we think you ought to. It reads like a novel—since the things Jim Rhodes has already accom plished in Ohio seem like fiction when view ed against the background of most other state administrations. “Ohioans endorsed Rhodes’ campaign pledge to bring fiscal sanity U$ the state by a 560,000 vote majority. Somewhere, told Victory For The Supreme Court of the • United States has now made it clear beyond ques tion that state rightto-work laws are con stitutional, and that the state courts have the power to enforce these laws which, in effect, give a wwker the right to gain and hold a job whether or not he is a union member; The decision was unanimous— 8 to 0. Justice Goldberg did not partici pate, as he was formerly Secretary of La bor and so might have been considered a prejudiced party to the dispute. This action concerned^ an argument that federal law took precedence, that the issue must be decided by the National Labor Re lations^ Board, and that the state courts ,were without authority. This was the ar gument that the court rejected. The right of the states to prohibit unwilling, compul sory Union membership, if they so choose, sometime,” the new governor fold the press, “goverment must learn to live within is now firmly established. its income and realize that deficit spending does not provide jobs for the people . . : Senator Strom Thurmond presents this government must learn to allow people to view: “If the U. S. follows a blind policy do some things for themselves . . . instead of refusing recognition to governments es- of taking their tax money and trying to do everything .for them.’’ Despite the screams of anguish from political opponents who charged him with “jungle politics,” the descent of 3,800 pick ets on the Ohio State House and an in- * spired mail campaign of abuse, Governor Rhodes launched his attack on the state’s $83 million debt by firing 5,000 superfluous state employees, removing 30,387 recipients from the relief rolls, establishing a “No Work-No Relief” policy, reorganized the much-abused Ohio Liquor Authority and ordered a cut of 9.1 percent across-the- board in state expenditures. In his first six months, the Governor cut $22 million out of the state payroll. “In March, Governor Rhodes presented a balanced budget ($3.03 billion for the bi ennium) to his General Assembly. This budget,’ he said, ’is in balance. It does not call for new or additional taxes. It sets strict standards of economy and ef ficiency. Nevertheless, it provides ade quately for essential services. I request your cooperation to help lead Ohio to eco nomic recovery’.” By way of making his request stick, he pointed out that the Constitution and laws of Ohio prohibit deficit financing, require that expenditures do not exceed income. “We cannot,” he said, “borrow burselves out of debt and into prosperity.’ tablished by military forces in Latin Ameri ca—and there have aready been 7—the U. S. may find that the Alliance for Progress funds go only to those far left govern ments where no internal force is strong enough to dej>o8e them. Can a program of foreign aid which is limited to those who are most cooperative with the communists be justified?” Babson Urges Support For “Independent” Companies Babson Park, Mass., January 9—When you are looking for a share in a good business venture, don’t by-pass the possibilities among the “inde pendent” firms. In my years of counseling. I have many times pointed out that there are more opportunities “-for sound profits among independ ents than is generally recognized. BIG BUSINESS VS. INDEPENDENTS I believe that the future of our country de pends to a considerable extent on encouragement of the independents in all lines of endeavor. Some investors buy only ‘‘blue chip” stocks, or perhaps just those in the Dow-Jones Industrial group. But. in a sense, such investors are cutting their own throats” by contributing only to the al ready established concerns. In fact, if is to the interest of our system of democratic free enterprise to support smaller companies—for a number of val id reasons. For one thing, corn- healthy sort can be fostered only Vi n*E*r petition of Perhaps, when the word of what Gov- in a climate where the independent is not over- ernor Rhodes is doing gets around, Ameri cans will act to restrain the “squanderlust” in Washington that is adding $16.6 million a day to our public debt that is already *way over the trillion dollar mark. Perhaps the new dollar—which is no longer a “sil ver certificate” and therefor cannot be ex changed for hard money—will assist in the awakening the Ohio Governor has touched off. What Would Happen? In the next six to nine months, the na tion’s economy should see the biggest surge of capital spending in the past eight years. That is the substance of a survey made whelmed and blotted out by the giants. During the birth of the electronics industry, many firms now leaders in our nation first saw- the light of day in somebody’s garage or in a make-shift lab oratory in somebody’s attic. MANY IMPROVEMENTS FROM SMALL COMPANIES An amazing number of products now known throughout the world were the brain-children, originally, of small independents. Here are a few items which were invented and first marketed by such establishments: Penicillin, colored motion pictures, electric light bulbs, automobiles, long- playing records, instant coffee, fountain pens, frozen foods, zippers, toasters, hearing aids, vacu um cleaners, irons, Kodak—and Polaroid—came- eras, electric heating pads, radios, flashlights, paper towels, and a great galaxy of household ap pliances. Then, in most instances, the big com panies came aldng and swallowed them up, along with their markets. It is still tough sledding for the small poineers. For instance, magazine, radio, and TV advertis. by Newsweek magazine. It reveals that in the third quarter of 1963 some $3.2 billion ing rates are the same for the smalls as they are had been set aside by 602 leading manufac turers for spending ne^t year—a hike of 19 per cent over the second quarter. ’ Biggest spenders for expansion and improvement of plant and facilities will be the steel, oil and auto industries. Durable-goods makers plan a substantially higher percentage increase in capital investment than nondurable- goods producers. . ^ This is good news. But it propounds a question. This progress is being made un der an extraordinarily burdensome and cha otic tax system and in spite of next-to-lim- itless expansion of a regulatory bureaucracy Stories Behind Words v • . by William S. Penfield Etiquette The original meaning of the word “etiquitte” is “ticket” or “label.” . * ; ; *- The French royal court was once noted for its elab orate functions and for the strict rules of behavior at them. Tickets were given to persons invited to the court, and on the backs of the tickets were outlined the formalities expected of guests. “Etiquette,” the name of the ticket, eventually was applied to the rules of court behavior. , The word entered the English language in the 17th cehtuty and was broadened in meaning—the rules of proper behavior anywhere in society. Highlights From Clinton High for the giants. It is easy to see how this handi caps the independents in their efforts to raise capital and to sell their names and products. There is no question, either, but that bigness cre ates power and a kind of bureaucracy that breed a difficult climate for the smalls to weather. A GOOD PLACE TO INVEST It is always worthwhile, when you have funds to place, to look into the prospects for some of your local enterprises, such as banks and chain stores,. When considering income, safety., and -growth possibilities, I can think of few better opportunities than the telephone company that serves your locality. . ’ ' If you are not served by a Bell or independent unit, you can always buy into the American Tele phone and Telegraph Company, which supplies May I be the last to wish you a happy new year! 1964 certainly started off well for us C.H.S.’ers with an extra holiday because of the sleet. Whai a pleasant surprise that was! However, I doubt if we’U be quite as happy about making up that day near the end of school! By now I -suppose most of those well-intended resolutions have al ready been broken. The first day is the hardest; and if you can keep your resolutions through the first week of the new year, you deserve a medal! Here’s hoping everyone who made up his mind to stick to his guns (or books) and ‘‘learn more in ’64” will ac complish his objective. Better we should all adopt that slogan! Consuming the time, efforts, and loose change of C.H.S.’ers this month is the March of Dimes Campaign. Jane Johnson and Mary Locke Simons have been selected to act as co-chairmen of the teen-age division, and they have already begun planning fund-raising ac tivities for their campaign. The March of Dimes Drive will officially begin at C.H.S. this Friday when Jane and Mary Locke will present a kick-off chapel program featuring a film designed to impress the import ance of this drive in helping pre vent crippling from arthritis and birth defects as well as from po lio. Saturday C.H.S.’ers will be sell ing Krispy-Kreme Doughnuts in down-town Clinton and Joanna. These delicious doughnuts will be only ten cents each or $1.00 a dozen. Headquarters in Clinton for this sale will be Belk’s the Winn-Dixie, and Johnsons’ Su permarket. Jane and Mary Locke have planed, in addition to the dough nut sale this Saturday, a car wash next Saturday, a March of Dimes Dance later this month, and a Faculty-Varsity Basketball game February 1. Climaxing the campaign at C. H.S. will be another chapel pro gram at the close of the drive at which the grand total will be an nounced, and the prizes — home made cakes for the first and sec ond place — will be awarded to By DISHIE DELANTL the homerooms which donate the largest sums. Don’t forget the doughnut sale this Saturday, and please sup port Jane and Mary Locke in their campaign. Won’t you do your part—for the life of » child? Today from 9:90 to 10:30 Ser geant Carl Pike of the Kent County Sheriffs Department, Grand Rapids, Michigan, will present a safety magic show to the C.S.H. student body. Ser geant Pike, who is really a lieu tenant, has had amazing success with his show and has put it on in every state in the continental United States. Educational as well as entertaining, Sergeant Pike’s show impresses on teen agers the importance of safety on the highways. If you happen to drive by Clin ton High next week, don’t be too surprised if you hear muffled groans or an occasional scream of anguish coming from behind the closed doors. No one has or iginated a new method of torture — it’s just exam week! News From The County Agent M. L. OUTZ, Ceanty Agent In 1964 all good businessmen will do the following: Keep rec ords of sales and purchases. Plan to attend helpful meetings and keep abreast of changes. Know the performance of his ma chines and animals. Do the things that he knows will be pro fitable. Get the job done at the right time. In other words, get the lead out. * * * Many questions are being ask ed about Treflan. Treflan is the chemical that can be incorporat ed into the soil to control weeds and grass. It is used on cotton. A number of demonstration^ were held in the state last year. We had one in Laurens County. It works. It stops crab grass cold; not just for a few weeks, but the entire season. Yes, it costs, some say as much as $8.00 per acre. Let’s hope it will be cheaper than that. This material is applied broadcast in thirty gal- 4 . . , , ’ , . , , . the whole country—including Bell and the inde- touching almost every element of business- penjen^^u, i„ ngK ii 8 tance coverage- The tele- and industry. There is a definitely unfa vorable attitude toward enterprise in va rious high echelons of government. If such progress is possible under these con ditions, what would happen if we establish ed a genuinely favorable business climate in this country? What would happen if policy, in all its ramifications, were hon estly tailored to stimulating and encourag ing business to expand to the limit, to pro duce to the limit, and to employ to the lim it? These are potent questions indeed. phone industry has been one of the fastest-grow ing of them all, and I expect still further expan sion in this field as our population fans but. A final word for independents, It should be kept in mind that while the big Bell companies serve most of the large cities, the independent phone companies serve nearly twice as many individual communities. Most of these firms are locally owned and contribute directly to the economic welfare of their areas. They have a built-in monopoly for their districts which al most no other industries possess. For the reasons given above, my investment sense has always drawn me toward the independents. But be care ful . investigate before you take any action. CLINTON, S.

It must be left in the top two or three inches. This operation must be done withih a few minutes after spraying in order to cap ture the full benefit of the chemi cal. ’ . Cotton can be cultivated lightly after using the material. This chemical doesn’t control pig J Weeds, so this pest may be controlled by cultivating or pull ing the mout. From all reports, a great deal of this material will be used throughout the state this year. , Corn is another crop that'a lot of chemicals will be used on this year. In fact,* quite a few farm ers planted, sprayed, and never touchd their com until time to harvest. • « « Speaking of records, Lynn Yeargin came by the office to pick up one of our account books and made the statement that he wanted to keep his records week by week so as not to leave any thing out. He also stated that lawyers liked that, record book. * • • Nat Senn asked about the salt and cotton 3eed meal mixture as a supplement for cattle. Experimental work done at Texas A and M College shows no adverse effects from using the supplement. The mixture used was three parts meal and one part salt. James R. Jacks, breeding technician for Laurens County, reports a record year in cows bred artificially in Laurens Coun ty. Seventeen hundred and fifty- seven cows were bred to sires of top quality blood. Mostly dairy cows were bred.
