WILSON HARDcR In these days when so much editorial opinion is reflected in canned editorials printed simul taneously in all the metropoli tan dailies of any given pub lishing chain, it is refreshing to see the attention given to the last bastior. of free and independent newspapering in America, the weekly news paper. * * * Out in the vast state of Montana earlier this fear Publisb- er Walter Larson of the Missoula Times ran a C. W. Harder series of editorials calling at tention to the fact that as long as Congress is making noises about overhauling the tax sys tem next session, it would be well to consider relieving every businessman from bis enforced and unwelcome role as tax col lector for the federal, state and local governments. * « * Since letting loose this pro vocative senes, Missoula. Mon tana, has heard from the Direc tor of the Budget, and Treasury Department, and will undoubt edly hear from various and sundry other bureaus. • * * The official protestation is to the effect that while the gov ernment recognises there is perhaps some unfairness in forcing employers into the role as slave labor to serve without pay as tax collectors, anything else would make it difficult to collect taxes. * * * Publisher Larson also be lieves that every employee should get his or her full pay down to the last cent to get the feel of the money, and also j © National Federation at Independent Bojlneca get the feel of it going out to pay various taxes. * * * As a matter of fa bureaucrat defends climbing taxes with statement that people are de manding more and more her*: vices from government. It 4» □ever specified what people, are demanding what. * ♦ ♦ But if their often repeated contentions are true, and there is an area of doubt here. Pub lisher Larson’s plan could,do a great deal to curtail this pur ported demand for more ser vices. Thus, if every employee knew that any demand made for more services would mean more out from his pay check, it would be surprising how little people actually want of so called government services. * * * Those who deal with orga nized labor say that labor never discusses what the actual rate of pay is before taxes. The is sue is all on what the take home, spendable pay shall be. * * * Recently, Congress made quite a furor over hidden inter est in installment purchases. * * * Thus, it is perhaps high time that the public also became aware of the tax take, both hidden and unhidden. * * * But there is something pain ful about handing over c?sh that is in hand. * * * Under the present system of the employer serving as a tax collector, such painful thought is removed from employee con sideration. * * * His is a refreshing idea. * * * And it is not by accident that it originates in the last bastion of free editorial thought and expression in America.

Sure,*we all like to go to the fair, but someone must first put forth a lot of effort to insure there will be something there worth see ing. Nearly every farm family we believe has something in the way of home or farm produce that would be worthy of entering in the fair. We have a good supply of cata logs in our office. Get y .-r copy now and select several items to enter in this year’s county fair. BEEF CATTLE SALE Last week’s feeder cattle sale at Greenwood proved to be a good one. Steers averaged a good price as compared with other markets, bringing over 22c per >ound. Heifers sold lower as was to be expected. Newberry County farmers sell ing cattle in this sale included: L. E. Chandler, Harold Bowers, J. H. Phibbs, Govan Sease, Luther Sease, S. C. and S. D. Paysinger, and J. Ellerbe Sease. Over 75 head were sold from Newberry County. T. B. “Dad” Amis served as a member >f the sales commit tee. We hope more Newberry Coun ty farmers will plan to participate in these graded feeder sales in the future. This method we believe offers our best hope for getting the most for our type of cattle. SAFETY PROGRAM ... Continued from page 1 jurisdiction ci the court and thalT a written set of rules governing procedure in traffic cases be pre pared for the guidance of the court and all persons having to attend courts. Also suggested was that fall ses sions of court be opened with a ceremony and that the judge and prosecutor participate in one of the regional traffic court confer ences held at various law schools.

School traffic safety education fulfilled 60 percent of recommen- aed performance. The Council recommended that the school administration author ize the teaching of traffic safety and provide a time and a place for it in the curriculum. Also suggested were that elem entary and junior high schools in struct and provide school safety patrols and that instruction in bicycle safety be taught in these schools. Classroom instruction and prac tice driving instruction courses should be expanded to include all eligible students, the report point ed out. Public Traffic Safety Education Nesvberiy’s public traffic safe ty education program was eval uated at 35 percent of recommen ded performance. The Council recommended that the city develop an expanded pro gram of public traffic safety edu* cation. It was pointed out that projects should be planned and carried out to meet specific local needs, which may be determined from a continuing analysis of lo cal accident records and the re commendations of the Council’s inventory. Organization For Traffic Safety Improvement Sgt. Bailey pointed out that there are three elements essen tial to successful traffic safety program administration. These el ements are (1) coordination of official traffic safety plans and programs, (2) public support for the traffic safety program which the officials have agreed upon, and (3) organization which works for official and citizen coopera tive action. £ The Council recommended tHax these elements be fully incorpor ated into future traffic safety plans in Newberry. It was further suggested that a definite program of study and fol low-up of this study be instituted in the city. Recent Marriasres _ Ralph V. Wallen and Barbara Manse of Whitmire were married on Sepc. 10 at Whitmire by Rev* Phillip Lambert. J. Lee Cox and Mary Nance Chappell of Newberry were mar ried by Rev. Ralph E. Rhyne at Newberry on Sept. 7. September 18th, at the 11 o’clock’' service. The congregation was jrggmiz- ed in 1850. The new brick build ing composed of a sanctuary and three Sunday School rooms re places ab old wooden structure. . Bishop Paul Hardin, Jr., of Co lumbia, -delivered the dedicatory sermon. He spoke on the chief purpose of the church. The church has educated the world, healeo the sick, provided for the poor and brought 'culture to the world. “Are these the purposes of the church?’ he asked. An in answer said the chief purpose of the church came from the lips of the Master when he said to Zacchaecus, “for the son of God is come to seek and to save that which was lost. The church’s chief purpose is the sal vation of souls and the church that is not doing this is not perform ing its purpose,” Mr. Hardin said. The Rev. Bryce Herbert, super intendent of the Greenwood Dist rict also participated on the pro gram. The Rev. H. M. Fulmer, pastor of the church presided. The historic little chapel with some 50 odd members began sev- eft saving for the re- buil$n£'ojf?af new chapel as the Old ^rt>6(fen structure was badly de caying^. Each and every member gave' ttr'the limit of his and her ability financially, and when this avehiie' was exhausted they gave of their time and in Find to furth- &r fhe v.ndertaking. At the end of the stven year period the amount "frow* approximately $3000. A building committee was or- apized January 1958 by J.

A tribute to the late Miss Brooks who worked diligently from a sick bed to help' the church reach its goal, for which her work will be remember ed for years to come. The construction engineer for the little chapel was James Stead man, son of Mrs. Tom Neel and the late Grady Steadman, ifov Steadman gave generously and unselfishly of his time, much of which was without compensation^ Other contributions, included the installation of - central \htating by Mr. and J^Jrsi-^FurmaA Qttof Lau- e 'gfrcupte coi ^ church,. rens; the *1 Fbm %rY?r3ss Bitf; for the chapel by Mr. and Mrs..

C. >5 J *7 ..,y When in Rome—or Oslo or i Athens, Fontainebleau or Karlsruhe, Addis Ababa or Reykjavik — American par ents and teachers do just about as they do at home: they form a P.T.A. More than 42,000 P.T.A mem bers in the European Congress of American Parents and Teach ers this fall will join in the an nual October Membership Month of the National Congress of Par- and Teachers. Lake their nearly 12 million counterparts on U.S. soil, these P.T.A. members who live over seas—from Iceland to the Mid dle East, most of them on Amer- military bases—will encour- others to “serve where you *: join the P.T.A” Serving the welfare of Amer- children, wherever they are ig up, is the primary ob- of the National Congress St has brought the P.T.A. into many areas of activity during its 63-year history. Since forma tion of the European branch in 1968, these activities have taken new flavor: —A European program of acholarships, similar to those provided by many state con gresses in the United States, , this year awarded $500 against tuition to American colleges for • jseven students; they were grad- - nates of American overseas - schools in Nouasseur, Morocco; A Stuttgart, Berlin, Bitburg, and Heidelberg, Germany; and Vi- Ifcaly. —Concerned, like other P-T-A’s, with the interests of mentally and physically handi capped children, the European Congress has initiated a pro gram of special class instruc tion for these youngsters, pro viding the funds for additional teacher assistants, helpers, and materials to be used in some 20 •cbools. —Foreign language educa tion, a natural interest for chil dren whose parents are assigned overseas, has been a major in terest of P.T.A.’s in the Euro pean Congress. In Air Force schools, extending Lrom Oslo to Libya and from the British Isles to Saudi Arabia, children in grades 3 through 8 are taking! classes in foreign language this ! year. —Adult education programs of the P.T.A., which in the U.S Comment from the Capital — THE MONSTER IN OUR MIDST by Vant Neff The midst of Europe’s Bavarian Alps—it’s a P.T.A. meeting. Mrs. James C. Parker^ president of the National Congress of Parents and Teachers, confers with Fred L. Miller, coordinator for P.T.A.’s in the European Congress of American Parents and Teachers, during conference in Berchtesgaden, Germany. Some 140 parent-teacher associations in Europe, Northern Africa, and the Middle Blast will join this fall in programs to enroll more than 12,000,000 parents, teachers, and friends of children as P.T.A. members. usually take the form of study- discussion groups, may become adult self-education in overseas areas, where American military, government or civilian members of P.T.A’s take advantage of opportunities for learning the language of the country and for studying its cultural assets. As these P.T.A members, both teachers and parents, return from overseas assignments, they bring broader understanding of other countries to their state side colleagues. “This is one great contribu tion our European members can make,” says Mrs. James C. Parker, of Grand Rapids, Mich., president of the National Con gress, who acted as a consultant to the European Congress when she attended their convention last April. “Overseas P.T.A’s,” she points out, “bring to American boys and girls living in other parts of the world some of the home and school experiences they would he enjoying if tney lived in the United States. “The richest result is the re lationship between* ;-arents and teachers; there is a closer re lationship in a foreign environ ment, because they have so many unusual experiences in common.” The National Congress has al ways recognized, she says, “that great differences exist among the states and communities”— and still greater ones in over seas communities. But the Na tional Congress program “al ways allows abundant room for choice” of projects for local P.T.A.’s, serving “as a bank or library of ideas from which the local unit draws to suit its needs.” In its membership programs this October, the P.T.A. card will become “a passport to the best society on earth,” says Mrs. Parker, “an organization working in hundreds of ways to create a better world, working for the welfare of all children— for the handicapped, the gift ed, the migrant, the delinquent, he average, for all children whether they live in cities, suburbs, rural areas, or on mili tary bases abroad—an organiza tion that cares about the homes children live in, the schools they are taught in, and the neighbor hoods they grow up in.” The court calendars are crowded with cases against business firms for alleged viola tions of the anti-trust law. Yet you’ll find that not one similar case is directed against any big union organization. We may well ask, why? Aren’t big union organizations often guilty of “restraint of trade?” Shouldn’t there be an anti-trust law for them? The truth is that nothing in our laws protect business or the public from any monopolistic powers modern unions decide to exercise. In the Thirties, the Wagner Act helped to create a Franken stein monster of union power. Today, all of us are being vic timized by it. Across the nation, people (including many workers forced to join unions against their wishes) are asking: what can we do, in the public interest, to control the power of unions? It’s a good question, but to get an intelligent answer to it you must first understand the main sources of union power. That power today comes from a variety of laws which protect unions, along with privileges and practices generally accepted in the courts. What is urgently needed are laws that take full account of the sources of union power — laws to protect the public from abuses of union power, just as the anti-trust laws protect the public from any effort on the part of big business to exert too much power. What are the sources of union power? Here are six of the im portant ones: 1. Exclusive bargaining rights. Under present laws, unions have the power to speak for all employees. And all em ployees are subject to the terms of the labor contract, whether they belong to the union or not, and whether they like the terms of the contract or not! 2. Compulsory union member ship. Every year, under so- called “union shop” contracts, tens of thousands of workers are being forced to join unions, whether they wish to or not. Those who don’t want to join are still forced to pay union ini tiation fees and dues er Use their jobs. 3. Economic power. Besides coercing employers, strikers also coerce employees and others who may want to work but can be prevented from doing so. This is a forceful power tool for many unions and explains the growth of ruthless union bosses. 4. Legal imihunities. Unions have legal immunities which are denied to other organizations. Exemption from the anti-trust laws is one of them. This source of union-leader power makes it possible for unions to control labor supply and wages (and therefore control prices) and to engage in other practices which, under the anti-trust laws, would be considered “in re straint of trade.” (There are more than a dozen such immunities that unions enjoy, including the one to com pel one employer under certain circumstances to disclose his financial records. The unions are immune from any corre sponding obligation!) 5. Political Power. The eco nomic power of unions goes hand in hand with their political power. A good example of this was the outcome of the last steel dispute. The steelworkers union got a settlement which it wasn’t able to get through months of striking. For it was made clear to the steel compa nies that unless a settlement was reached, Congress wouk pa^s legislation forcing a settle ment that industry would not like. 6. Underworld power. Some unions’ connections with under world characters have proved too numerous to require listing here. How the Johnny Dios and the army of similar hoods, rack eteers and convicted criminals suddenly turned up as officers and leaders of labor unions no body understands, nobody ex plains. But more important, al most nothing has been done about them, yet. For the past quarter of a cen tury union leaders have been lobbying in Washington to block any major legislation that would control the enormous power in the hands of union bosses. The Taft-Hartley Act was one piece of legislation they were not able to black out, but as subsequent events have proved, this law had many loop holes which union leaders have exploited. Another bill they weren’t able to stop was the labor reform legislation known as the Lan- drum-Griffin Bill. The main reason for that was public in dignation. The people of this country had enough of union evib, and expressed themselves with an avalanche of opinion in favor of the bill. The Landrum-G r i f f i n law attempts to protect the union member from abuses by his own union bosses but did nothing to protect the public from union excesses. This is a reassuring fact about ordinary Americans — when they are made sufficiently aware of a situation that acts against the public interest, they respond vigorously. Today, the time is ripe for the public to react to the monopolistic power of unions. Unless effective leg islative action is taken, we shall soon reach a point of no return, when unions will have so much power that all of us together won’t be able to do a thing about it.
