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,

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,

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

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

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.

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

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

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-

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.
