It ought to h>- relevant to study ourselves to onv one of Mr. what “conflict'’ t Vt i • In o > Johnson’s campaign pledges—the one that he made (merge Meany. president of the A FI.-CIO. The President promised Mr. Meany that if labor unions threw their support to him with sufficient en- ehusiasm, he would see to it that the American working man would lose the right to decide whether he wants to belong- adn pay dues to a labor union. Specifically, Mr. Means says that Mr. Johnson promised that Section 14-K of the Talf-Hartloy Law would be re pealed. Mr. Johnson has now sent word to Congress to get about it. Nine teen states, including North Caro lina, now have “Right to Work” laws. If the Congress knuckles un der again to Mr. Johnson, the fed eral government will throw the North Carolina law out the win dow, and tens of thousands of workers in North Carolina and elsewhere will begin paying union dues against their will. They will be going all the way with LBJ. All of this should come as no surprise to anybody, even to that long list of business men in North Carolina who in the political sea son last Fall winked and nodded as they paid their money and took their choice. No sir, they said last Fall, President Johnson wasn’t really going to repeal the Right to Work Law. But, all of that aside, what we find fascinating is Mr. Johnson’s stated reason for asking Congress to repeal Section 14-B. Needless to say, he didn’t mention his promise to Mr. Meany. In his message to Congress, the Presi dent phrased hm request this way: “With the hope of reducing con flicts in our national labor policy that for 2°veral years have divid ed Americans in various states, I recommend repeal of Section 14-B created. The State Labor Depart ment report.' that in lbt>4, there were a total of 17 minor strikes in North Carolina. 1 here strikes involved ln4b workers who stayed off the job for an average of less than nine days. In other words, one-tenth of t lie North Carolina labor force was involved in this “conflict that divides Americans,” to use Mr. Johnson’s words. It would have been more pala table if the President had simply stated the facts of the case; if he had candidly told the Congress that what he really wants is a pay-off to the union leaders whose support he bargained for and got last year. If Mr. Johnson gets his wish, and if Right To Work laws are repealed, the United States will be the only nation in the world to force workers to join unions in order to get or hold a job. The facts of the matter are that union memberships are declining throughout the country, even in the 31 states where there are no Right To Work laws; and that un employment is greatest in these 31 states. Furthermore, wages are rising faster in North Carolina and other states which have Right To Work laws than in the other 31 where compulsory union mem bership is already in effect. The President, then, does not propose to eliminate a condition that “divides” Americans. What he proposes is that Americans be required by law to conform to the wishes of union leaders. Just be cause Mr. Johnson may owe a political debt is no reason for the Congress to destroy another free dom of choice that belongs to the American working man. The Congress doesn’t have to go ALL the way with LBJ.

Pictured, from left to right are, Dick Neel, Farm Bureau president; E. W. Brooks, executive secretary, S. C. Farm Bureau; Miss Judi Bo land, Miss Dairy Princess; Richard Henry Ruff, dairy month chairman, and Sen. John C. West of Camden. (Sunphoto) “Farm Youth today have much to look forward to,” Senator John C. West of Kershaw, told a break fast meeting Tuesday morning. The occasion was the Dairy Break fast held at the Community Hall, to point up the importance of the $8 million dairy industry in New berry County. The speaker said that 30 years ago when he fin ished high school there was little for farm youth to look forward to on the farm. “Today South Carolina is not a one-crop state, and much credit goes to the South Carolina Farm Bureau for the change,” the veteran Senator told the gathering of farmers, bank ers, and other businessmen. Richard Henry Ruff, chairman for the Newberry County Farm Bureau’s dairy month observance, called the meeting to order. In vocation was given by Rev. C. L. Richardson of St. Philips Lu theran church. Following a delicious breakfast, Dick Neel, Bureau President, wel comed the guests. James R. Les ter, manager of the Farm Bureau Insurance company, introduced banker sponsors, Development Board representatives, govern- leaders, business leaders, members of the press, county home agent, and others. Mrs. Annie Lou Fan ning was recognized for her help in making arrangements for the occasion. Mr. Lester said the breakfast was to recognize the dairy industry in the state and especially in Newberry county. E. W. Brooks, executive secre tary of the S. C.' Farm Bureau, pinned a ribbon on Miss Judi Bo land of Little Mountain, proclaim ing her Miss Newberry County Dairy Princess. He also present ed her a permit to perform cer tain duties in connection with her title, among which was authority to milk any cow in Newberry County, and serve the milk to any one she found needing the nourish ment. He also presented her a min iature milk pitcher for the pur pose. In addition, a ‘modern” four legged milk stool was furished to make her job easier. County Agent A1 Busby brought interesting information about Newberry’s dairying industry. He said the county was third in the state in production of milk and milk products, a $2 million retail value. He pointed out that this meant approximately $14 million in revenue directly and indirectly to the economy of the county. He called 1965 the Golden Anniversary of the milk industry in the coun ty, beginning in 1915 by Silas J. McCaughrin who was the first dairyman. A short time later the first retail dairy route was estab lished, with milk being dispensed at the door with a dipper from a large container. He noted that Newberry County and South Caro lina had had its problems in recent years. In 1960 there were 91 Grade A dairies. At present, there are only 65 in the county. “All has not gone well. Price wars at retail out lets have driven some out of busi ness,” the agent said. He said there is little danger of getting contaminated milk in the state for milk is the most inspected product on the market. Mr. Busby noted that the Gener al Assembly had taken steps to improve the lot of the dairy farm er in the past session of the legis lature, and thanked the delegation and Senator West for their part in the legislation. Senator West was introduced by Tom Warren, director of informa tion for the S. C. Farm Bureau. He is formerly of Prosperity. Mr. Warren emphasibed that the job for dairying must be done on the local level, at the grass roots, and noted that the Newberry County Farm Bureau was certainly doing its part to make it so. He introduced the speaker as an attorney-at-law, graduate of The Citadel, major in World War II, a senate veteran since 1954, and a friend of the farmer. Mr. West said, “Thirty years ago there was no future in farm ing and dairying in South Caro lina, but now I am proud of the progress we have made.” He said dairying was a $50 million enter prise in South Carolina last year. A fine farm industry has taken shape in the state with an invest ment of $100° million. Price wars of late have clouded the prospects of dairying, but things are look ing up now. The legislature has made a start in putting a stop to price wars by controlling the use of milk as a loss leader at the re- til outlet. The legislation prevents retailers from limiting the amount of milk a consumer can buy at low price, and also prohibits milk from being sold at a lower price than the replacement cost. Pending is a constitutional amendment giving the Dairy Commission power to set milk prices in time of crisis. Several laws have been passed to control milk sales, but all have been found unconstitutional by the state supreme court. The speaker called attention to the fact that 250 dairies had gone out of business in the past two years because of the price squeeze. He said if this trend continues, South Carolina will eventually be come a dumping ground for infer- ifor, out of state milk, since not enough South Carolina milk will be available for home needs. He said Newberrians had every right to be proud of the Newberry Coun ty delegation for its part in legis lation to curb unfair milk market ing practices. The breakfast meeting was clos ed with remarks by Chairman Ruff. W. ‘Gus’ Houseal dies on birthday Walter Gustavus Houseal, Jr., 69, died Sunday afternoon at the Lowman home in White Rock.

Zoning changes get attention at council meeting Rezoning of an area adjacent to Kirk Pontiae-Cadillac Company, having been before the City Plan ning Commission and City Council twice, was rejected unanimously by council Tuesday night. Some time ago, Howard Kirkegard sought to have the area next to his place of business rezoned for use as a parking and used car lot, and since there was apprently no objection, the Planning Commis sion approved the change. When the matter came to council to act on the amendment, a complaint from one of the property owners in the area was registered, asking that his name be withdrawn from the original permission to permit the change. With this turn of ev ents, council referred the proposal back to the Planning Board for further review. In light of this development, the board decided that since there had been objec tion to the proposed change, the request would be denied. Subse quently, council agreed with the board and decided to let the ordin ance stand as it was originally drawn. Several people from the area were present to protest the amendment. Mayor Layton presented certi ficates to C. T. “Tuffy” Millstead and B. Royce Bundrick for having successfully completed a 30-hour course of instruction in structural firefighting from the North Caro lina State Firemen’s Association. Mayor Layton congratulated the men for their diligence and inter est in completing the course. Final reading and approval was given to an amendment of the Zoning Ordinance relating to used car lots. The provision prohibits storage of vehicles which cannot be moved under their own power or scrapper or junked vehicles. Also amended Zoning Ordinance pertaining to lots of insufficient size. The amendment allows lot owners to build on lots smaller than provided for in the ordinance, provided they owned the lots be fore the effective date of the ord inance, and further provided that front and side yard requirements of the ordinance are observed. Added to a contract with G. E. Moore and Co., a section of sewer line on Kinard street south of Harrington street, which was in advertently omitted from the ori ginal contract. Cost of this addi tion was estimated at $4,637.65. Colie E. Lever, whose request to build a manufacturing and retail establishment on a lot on Kinard street, was rejected by the Board of Appeals, appeared asking coun-j cil to consider changing the ordin ance to allow the building. Mr. Riebe told council that it was pow erless to act in the situation. The only recourse Mr. Lever has is to the courts, Mr. Riebe said. Mr. Lever said that he was having to give up his job at Oakland mill be cause he is suffering from a lung ailment, and that he would need the extra income from his venture to insure his livelihood. He owns several lots on Kinard Street now classified as strictly residential area. Councilman McCutcheon men tioned that he had had a number of complants on trash pickups. Mr. Longshore indicated that it seemed there was less complaint under the old system of garbage and trash collection, proposed that another truck be put on to take care of this problem. Mr. Riebe said council could go back to the Five Die In Wreck Here Sunday Night The lives of three members of an Aiken family and two other persons were snuffed out in a two-car collision near here late Sunday night. The quick action of a passing truck driver possibly saved another person in one of the wrecked cars from a fiery death, officers said. S. C. Highway Patrolman David D. Wardlaw said John D. Nicholson, 42, of Aiken, driver of a 1962 Ford; his wife, Mrs. Helen Nicholson; and their 13-year old son, Norman, were dead on arrival at Newberry County Memorial hospital. Other victims were identified as Eugene Faulk, 21, Negro, and Wilhelmina Baxter, 14, Negro, both of Newberrv.

He said that out of approximate ly 14,000 collections each week, on ly a handful of complaints were registered. He said if each coun cilman had ten complaints a week, the percentage would still be very good. He admitted that on occasion trash was missed, and when the crews got behind an extra truck was used to catch up. He remind ed property owners that if trash had not been properly picked up to call the city offices and the mat ter would be attended to. Patrolman Wardlaw said Man- gum’s car burst into flames after the crash. An unidentified truck driver doused the blaze with a fire extinguisher and then left without identifying himself. The crash occurred about 11:30 p.m. Sunday on S. C. Highway 121 about two miles west of Newberry. Patrolman Wardlaw said Man gum was driving east on che highway when he apparently lost control of his car while rounding a slight curve. The car ran off the right side of the road, swerved back onto the highway and skidded broad side into the front of the Nich olson auto, v nich was headed to ward the west. Wardlaw said the severe im pact of the crash demolished both vehicles. Nicholson was employed as a mechanic at Satcher Ford Co. in Aiken. The family reportedly was returning from a visit with a married daughter in Charlotte, North Carolina. A son, Johnny Nicholson of Ai ken, an 4 p half-brother, Bobby Willis, who is in the Air Force stationed at Orlando, Fla., sur vive.
