Clinton, S. C n Thursday, April 9, 1964 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE FARMS AND FOLKS By L. C. HAMILTON Clemson College Extension Information Specialist INDEPENDENCE CANNED? “The trend toward more pro cessed foods has modified the map of agriculture in this coun try,” is the opinion of R. H. Mc- Dougall, president of the Colum bia Bank of Cooperatives, Co lumbia. The shift from production of fresh fruits and vegetables to in creasing quantities for proces sing has also weakened the bar gaining position of small farmers who don’t have the capital re quirements for larger and more efficient operations. “We (farmers) could learn a lesson in financial management from development of the non-ag- ricultural society.” McDougall said every busi ness, including farming, seeks competitive equality, otherwise, the seller, or the purchaser, whichever is weaker, will very likely suffer. The extremely con servative nature of farmers may have served to handicap them, especially in regard to the use of borrowed capital. “I see many instances where there is an economic need for farm organizations to serve in the furtherance of almost every phase of agricultural endeavor.” This would include, he indicated, the building of processing plants where needed to secure compe titive equality and more inde pendence. McDouglall’s agency provides specialized fipancing for farm er association and has given a high priority to those which fill constructive needs such processing. as SHOP and SAVE BEST OF FINANCING!

One of the essential steps, oc- cording to Agricultural Engin eer H. P. Lynn, is to tamp the sub-base thoroughly, then moist en it. “If the sub-base isn’t moist ened, water will often be drawn from the concrete before the ce ment is hydrated sufficiently.” For driveways, cement should be poured at least 6 inches thick. For extremely heavy traffic it may be best to use reinforced mesh. To prevent cracking from expansion and contraction, place expansion joints every 8 to 10 feet. A ratio of one sack of cement, of sand, and three to six gallons of two parts parts gravel water is the suggested mix Another important point is to moisten the concrete regularly for three or more days to pre vent rapid drying. The longer the concrete is kept moist dur ing curing the greater the strength. Finishing the surface may be accomplished by using a wood float followed by a brush or broom to score it for a non-skid surface. * * * COTTON VARIETIES These are recommended cot ton varieties foi*. planting in f* ACE'S Auto Repair - SPECIALIZING IN - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS 0 Installations • Air Conditioning . 1 • General Repair ACE JOHNSON Formerly With Lyon Cooper, Inc.

Hoffa has discovered at last that no man is above the law in this republic. Though he once said “I am im mune,” Hoffa learned otherwise when a federal jury in Chatta nooga, Tenn., found him guilty on two counts of trying to sub vert the jury that heard his con spiracy trial in Nashville in 1962. While the boss of the team sters has said he will appeal and there is no telling what the appelate court will do, a federal jury has registered its determin- nation that he is guilty as charg ed. It is improtant in considering this conviction to look beyond the man who sought to be the Napoleon of highway transporta tion. The power that Hoffa has built into the Teamsters Union is far more hurtful than any thing the man himself might have done. To prevent the rise of future Hoffas, the Congress must remedy the situation whereby one man can acquire virtual dictatorial power over the trucking industry. It also should be borne in mind that Hoffa, like other union czars, had had dictatorial power over the members of the Teamsters Union. This, too, must be chang ed. Thus it is not simply James R. Hoffa who must be cut down to size but union monopoly and the Justice Deparatment. Both cases are warnings as to the danger of concentrating too much power in the hands of am bitious men. The laboring men of the nation need few safe guards against monopoly union ism that makes them captives of union czars who can make decisions affecting their lives with only token elections as sup posed protection. The general public needs safeguards against federal power used in ruthless ways. As Lord Acton warned a century ago, “Power corrupts; and absolute power corrupts ab solutely.” The United States has been moving through an era in which power has been vested in agen cies such as unions and in de partments of the central govern ment. The result has been new forms of absolutism. But a free society and absolutism, whether it is of the Hoffa kind or of the kind the New Frontier has de veloped, cannot co-exist. Abso lutism is a negation of freedom and individual rights. In cracking down on Hoffa ^jor on a federal official who over steps his authority, the country must be sure that it gets at the basic evil of absolutism. Pvt. Bates Ends Recruit Training.

Carolina Ave. — Dial 833-1741 dictatorship itself that must be reduced to limits that our free society can tolerate. It is the bigness of Big Unionism, not the swollen ambitions of Hoffa that represents the basic threat to freedom in the United Staes. While the Justice Department has labored long to successfully prosecute Hoffa, it has not shown itself interested in cut ting Big Unionism down to size. The reason is obvious. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy en joys the support of other union czars. James R. Hoffa has been the only union boss with which he has tangled. Indeed the Justice Department itself deserves the strongest kind of criticism on other matters. Within days of Hoffa’s convic tion, Federal Judge Archie O. Dawson in New York denounced an official of the Justice Depart ment for placing a mail watch on Roy Cohn, a New York law yer, under indictment on perjury and conspiracy charges. It hap pens that Mr. Cohn, a former aide to the late Senator Joseph R. McCarthy, is a long-time tar- gert of Robert F. Kennedy. The mail watch also applied to Mr. Cohn’s attorney. Judge Dawson, when he learn ed of this police surveillance measure, denounced it as “shocking” and more character istic of Russia than the United States. Watching the mail of citizens who have not been convicted of any crime is not prosecution but persecution. It is a technique right out of the book of totalita rian state police methods. Indeed it is utterly without warrant under the U. S. Cqnstiution or traditional practice. As the re sponsible head of the Justice De partment, Attorney General Kennedy should be called before the appropriate committees of Congress to give justification, if he can do so, for this unconsti tutional snooping. The action in the Cohn case makes citizens wonder whether a mail watch is used in the case of other citizens who have been critical of the ad ministration in power. Certainly, if it is wrong for James R. Hoffa to attempt to subvert a Jury, it is wrong for Robery F. Kennedy’s depart ment to watch the mall of citi zens who are free of any record of conviction in the courts. It should be repeated again and again; No man is above the law, neither Hoffa nor an of NOW SELLING AND SERVICING 1964 DODGE CARS AND TRUCKS.
