IF the ambitions of James Hoffa, new president of the
teamsters union, are not curbed by a proper governmental
agency, or a combination of agencies, America is facing
indescribable chaos.
Mr. Hoffa’s announced plan to organize, under the
teamsters’ flag, the police force of New York is the worst
assault upon our country since we were ruled by the whims
of a British king back in the 1700’s.
The teamsters’ president’s plan, or rather scheme, is
unthinkable. '
that Mr- Hoffa and the rest of his “high-up” gang would
profit from additional members’ dues.
The teamsters union is on record today as being a di-
rect enemy of everything American. During a recent in-
vestigation, some of its “big-wigs” refused to answer ques-
tions from our congress. Instead, they cowardly hid be-
hind the fifth amendment, which appears to be ready for
modification. There should be no place in America for
men, organized or not organized, who cannot and will not
honestly answer questions put to them by reputable repre-
sentatives of our government at any level.
This is the outfit that is now trying to unionize New
York’s police force. If it succeeds, what next? Chicago
police? And then St. Louis, San Francisco, Miami and,
eventually, Nocona and Bowie and Saint Jo. There can be
no argument whatever about salaries paid to policemen.
They are too low in too many communities, but unioniza-
tion under an outfit with the teamsters’ record is, we reiter-
ate, unthinkable.
The teamsters have been known as have other unions
to paralyze the country with a strike. Striking is an Ame-
rican privilege of which the labor bosses of today take unfair
advantage by refusing to recognize that a man or woman
has as much right to work as he, or she, has to strike. The
most imaginative mind cannot visualize what chaos would
result were the policemen of any city, big or little, to go on
a strike, and it is a safe bet that once a powerful union gets
them under its thumb they wotdd be called out. Were the
Hoffa plan to succeed, who would be next, firemen? Police-
men and firemen are dedicated persons, dedicated to pro-
tect property and, like doctors, to protecting and saving
lives.
There is one way to stop the Hoffa scheme and that
is for communities as political bodies to pay policemen and
firemen the pay a union would demand and to give them
such other advantages enjoyed by workers in other fields.
Too many communities, mostly small ones, do not nav enough
nor offer enough advantages to get top men for the most im-
portant function of all municipalities—police and fire pro-
tection.
Mr. Hoffa has said that he would ask New Yo’-k’«
policemen to vote among themselves on joining the union.
Being an agency dedicated to public service should not pre-
clude them from individuality and human rights, but it
would seem in their case that the people should have a voice
in whether or not their policemen are to align themselves
with an organization armed to the teeth with strikes as its
sole means of obtaining a goal.

MRS. N. M. FLYNT
AS time marches on, as generations follow generations
and as industry and science and the professions, chiefly the
medical profession, discover new ways to eradicate the
hardships of yesterday, it is difficult for the younger gene-
rations of today to realize what the generations of the 70’s
and 80’s went through to contribute their individual parts
toward today’s luxuries. Mrs. N. M. Flynt, one of Nocona’s
outstanding pioneer women for whom funeral services were
held last week, was a member of yesterday’s generation.
Born in a little Missouri town and mostly reared in a
rural Kansas community during the Sunflower state’s grass-
hopper plague, Mrs. Flynt, like so many others of her day,
knew hardships and privations that we of today know noth-
ing about, except as history. Coming to Montague county
as she did shortly after the railroad came to Nocona, she
pioneered as a teacher at Red River Station. In those days
teachers did not need college degrees to get a job, but like
Mrs- Flynt, thousands of them turned out of their schools
men and women with a sufficient fundamental education in
the “Three R’s” to attain great success in all fields of busi-
ness and professional endeavor.
Mrs. Flynt’s name will forever be a part of Nocona’s
club and civic enterprise history. Our centennial edition
of last summer carried her name in several connections with
the city’s earliest civic and club life. As a charter member
and one of the founders of the Mothers club, Mrs. Flynt
pioneered today’s Parent-Teacher association, one of the
greatest organizations in America. Mrs. Flynt played her
part in the era during which she lived, and she played it
well to today’s advantage. She has left a pattern for others
to follow in tomorrow’s era.
