EDITORIAL
Right To Work
Set forth below is the text of Governor Dan K. Moore's
statement before the Subcommittee of House Labor Committee
in opposition to any change in Section 14-b of the Taft-Hartley
Act. We concur with and applaud Gov. Moore's simple, yet
straight-forward and eloquent statement. We bring it to our
readers in the hope that you will read it and lend your support
to the governor's position.
"My name is Dan Moore. I am Governor of the State of
North Carolina. My appearance here today is to present
testimony for preserving the right of every American to be
able to work in the job of his choice without being required to
join an organization of any kind as a condition of his em
ployment.
"My reasons for opposing any change in Section 14 B of the
Taft-Hartley Act, are, I believe, in harmony with the guarantees
of the Constitution of the Unites States of America.
"No man is free if he is compelled under the law to join
an organization to retain his job. It is a subterfuge to claim
that a man may obtain employment freely, when, under a
union shop, he must join a union in order to keep his job. He
might just as well be required to join an organization before
he is given employment, because the end result is the same:
He must pay tribute to the labor union in order to keep his job.
"The Congress has passed legislation prohibiting any dis
crimination in employment because of sex, race, religion or
natural origin. And, yet, those who wish to abolish our right to
work laws would, it seems to me, discriminate against an
employee who does not wish to join a union.
In North Carolina we have had a right to work law since
1947. It has served our people well. Under our law, any North
Carolinian is free to join or not to join a union, just as he is
free to join or not to join a church, a fraternal or civic organ
ization. This, we believe, is democracy.
"In order to express the fundamental philosphy upon which
right to work laws rest, I would like to read to you from
Section 1 of North Carolina's right to work law, which has been
in effect for 18 years. It reads as follows:
SECTION L The right to live includes the right to work. The
exercise of the right to work must be protected and maintained
free from undue restraints and coercion. It is hereby declared
to be the public policy of North Carolina that the right to work
shall not be denied or abridged on account of membership or
non-membership in any labor union or labor organization or
association.
"Where right to work laws exist, no man is denied his
democratic right to join a union. Where compulsory unionism
exists, his choice to join or not to join is gone.
"North Carolina has prospered and is making rapid strides in
industrial development. Relations between labor and man
agement are excellent and our industrial community has enjoyed
an unprecedented period of industrial peace. We want to pre
serve this splendid relationship; we want to preserve this
peace; above all, we want topreserve the right of every worker
to join or not to join a union according to the dictates of his
own will and conscience.
"I count it a privilege to make this statement in behalf of
the right of the individual to make a choice, for in this age of
big business, big labor and big government, it is becoming
increasingly difficult for the voice of the individual to be
heard."
Lock The Door
Nineteen months ago, an Editorial in the Scout entitled
"A Horse Is Gone" took issue with the type of police protection
provided in Murphy.
On December 26, 1963, a thief or'thieves carried away
$15,000 worth of jewelery from a local jewelery store while
a resident watched and tried in vain to locate a policeman.
Unfortunatley, he was on patrol in the car and could not
be reached by phone.
The situation could have been worse. The call could
have come from some person living alone who heard a burgler
or potential killer or kidnapper breaking into his home.
Murphy only has one otticer on duty during die late hours
and he has the responsibility of looking after the security
of the whole town. To do this he must make periodical rounds
in the patrol car.
The editorial suggested two-way radios and an extra police
man on night duty to improve protection. The Town Board
appointed a committee to Investigate the cost of radios but
to date, 19 months later, has not found room in die town budget
for a communications system or extra policeman.
Of course, this added protection would cost money and
we realise that buying two-way radios and hiring an extra
man is one of the more expensive means of boosting police
protection in Murphy.
A less expensive way.
The telephone company has stated that if as few as 12
subscribers desire automobile telephones they will Install the
communications system. The telephone company would also
maintain the system.
The cost, about $40 per unit for installation and $32 to
$-0 per month rent. For an annual cost of about $500, the
Town of Murphy could improve police protection 100 per cent.
The key to this communications system hangs in the balance
of the number of subscribers who desire this service.
Several business men have already asked about such
service and we suggest the Town Board should consider this
inexpensive plan for added police protection.
The Important thing is to get some improvement in action. '
One horse is already gone, but there are more in the barn.
Now is the time to lock the door.

Prizeword Puzzle
ACROSS:
1. A social climber cheerfully suffers many a SNOB (Snub).
- Cheerfully exaggerates with Snub, which is a personal
affront. SNOB is better; the SNOB doesn't necessarily Snub
him..
5. Elderly dandies often keenly resent being thought ODD
(Old). - The reference to elderly points to ODD, strange,
eccentric; they are very vain about their appearance and
clothes. Old is weak. It's not their age about which they're
vain.
6. A vain man is often made a FOOL of by an unscrupulous
business partner (Tool). - His vanity makes him liable to be
made a Tool of, be made a dupe, more frequently than often.
He need not be a FOOL to become a Tool of his partner. FOOL
is the better word with often.
9. Warfare calls for a man who is by nature a STAYER
(Slayer). - Not Slayer; all who fight in wars can certainly not
be called natural killers. STAYER is better; war calls for
endurance, stamina, fortitude.
10. It usually causes trouble in a factory when an employee
is given to RILING his colleagues (Ruling). -There's much more
likely to be trouble when he's given to RILING them. His
Ruling them might be just what they want - they might well
want a leader.
13. When we're seriously ill and die doctor gives US hope of
a cure, we usually want our friends to know (Up). - Usually
goes too far with Up; we might well prefer to keep the bad
news to ourselves. US is better; it's better; it's good news.
Usually applies, because the hope might be a faint one.
14. As we become elderly our daily life is more likely to be
influenced by SEASON (Reason). - Are we so lacking in Reason
before we become elderly? SEASON is more in character;
we're more likely to be affected by climatic conditions as
we age.
15. A cynic might well say that even with a man she has
WISHED for a woman cannot be really contented I (Fished).
- Fished is weak. He might be a substitute for the man she
wants but cannot get. WISHED is more cynical - she has the
man she wanted.
DOWN
2. Apparently, understanding between parents and children is
NOW better than it w*s a generation or so ago (Not). -NOW
is better. Today's parents are more enlightened; they have
more facilities to aid them. This in itself is a rebuttal of the
statement completed by Not.
3. People who HOPE extravagantly are often a sore trial
to their friends (Mope). - Those who Mope to an excessive
extent, are more frequently than often a sore trial to their
friends. Often points to HOPE: it's possible that they might
keep their hopes to themselves.
4. HOUR in the country is often very refreshing after a long
spell in the city (Tour). - Often dosen't go far enough with
Tour; the restraint is more fining with HOUR, because the
period is of such a short duration.
7. As a rule, women are more inclined than men to become
CURIOUS about gossip relating to themselves (Furious).
- CURIOUS, yes; men aren't as sensitive about gossip. With
Furious, much depends on whether the gossip is flatterlngl
Vicious gossip would arouse equal anger in a man.
8. It's usually pathetic when ill health causes a person to WANT
(Pant). - Pant requires virtually always. There are less likely
-.-J be exceptions with WANT. What do they WANT? It coeld
be something of but passing interest or need.
9. A lack of intelligence often makes a man SLOG at Ms work
(Slow). - SLOG is better; a man often makes up by sheer hard
and persistent work what he lacks In intelligent application
to work. Slow is weak. Such a man might work fast and bungle
the job.
11. To be FOUND asleep at his post is very serious for a i
(Sound). - Though Sound asleep, he might wakan before being
FOUND, and thus avoid the i
12. A little coldness of tan pays In dealiqg with a [
has too much GUSH (Push). - It's easier to discourage GUSH
than Push; it takes more than merely a little coldness to As*
courage a person with lots of Push; such a parson is likely
to be thick-skinned.
