New Leaflet Oil
Gardening How
Available Here
Gardening and conserva-
tion is the subject of a new
USDA leaflet written by the
Soil Conservation Service.
District Conservationist Don
Ree<i of the Aspermont SCS
office, said the 8-fold leaf-
lot, titled "Gardening on the
Contour," outlines ways to
control erosion in a backyard
garden. It tells, for example,
how rows can be laid out on
the contour using a carpen-
ter's level mounted on a 2x4.
The leaflet also explains how
rainwater which drains from
a neighbor's property might
be diverted away from your
garden.
"Some of our gardners in
the Aspermont area are ex-
cellent conservationists." Reed
said. "Many use mulches on
the soil surface to help re-
duce erosion and to improve
soil fertility to the way con-
servation farmers use crop
residues. A few local gard-
ners compost their grass clip-
pings and tree leaves for this
purpose. Others use hay,
straw, cottonseed hulls or peat
moss. Preventing erosion in
a garden is just as important
to a gardner as it is to any
other land user," the coaser-
vationist pointed out.
Reed said copies of the new
leaflet are available free at
his office at Aspermont, tele-
phone numl^er 989-3331..
Gordon H. Lloyd will re-
tire June 30 after 47 years'
service to the state with the
Highway Department and as
executive secretary of the
State Employees Retirement
System.

Cong. Graham Pureed Speaks
Against 'Compulsory Unionism'
JCAUtOI S AlOtcl
Ing is the statement of Con-
gressman Graham Puree 11 on
the floor of the House of
Representatives^ in support
>f amendments to strike "com-
pulsory unionism" provisions
of the Postal Reform bill, H-
R. 17070.
"I doubt that there is a
single Member of Congress
who has not had good reason
to be upset with his postal
service. Similarly, there has
not been one of us who has
not received letters asking
that something be done to
cure a worsening situation
with respect to mail delivery.
"The bill before us is an
attempt to meet this crisis in
nationwide difficulties in get-
ting the mail delivered. As
written, it will provide many
long overdue improvements
in our postal system. The
Committee has labored long
and hard in an attempt to
gain some meaningful reform.
"However, there is a fatal
weakness in the bill, in my
opinion. I am, of course, re-
ferring to the provisions
which depart from the terms
of Executive Order 10988
which grants federal employ-
ees, including postal workers,
the right, freely and without
fear of reprisal, to form, join
and assist a labor organiza-
tion, or to refrain from such
activity. To cure this ill, I
support the amendment which
the Gentleman from North
Carolina (Mr. Henderson) will
offer to insure that these
rights will be protected. With-
out this amendment, H. R.
17070 will permit postal
unions to negotiate with the
Postmaster General from a
shop. Should these
negotiations fail, either side
could put the question to
binding arbitration.
"This provision of the in-
stant bill flies square in the
face of the Executive Orders
of three different Presidents;
it effectively destroys the
belong, or not belong to a
postal worker's freedom to
union as he sees fit.
"There has been a great
Terry, Mrs. Mae Freeman
and Mrs. Alton Jones of Ro-
tan.

INSURANCE AGENCY
deal of discussion regarding
the situation created by the
bill, and its treatment of
postal workers. It is quite one
thing for a private corpor-
ation to negotiate a union
shop contract binding its
workers to union membership:
such contracts are forbidden
in right-to-work states, but
the Taft-Hartley Act permits
them elsewhere. It qualifies,
if you will, the right to work
for a private industry with a
union contract. But the right
of a United States citizen to
work for his own government
approaches an absolute
right. It is not, nor should It
be conditioned upon the pay-
ment of union dues. If a man
is qualified to carry the mail,
it is simply none of the Fed-
eral Government's business
whether he wishes to join or
not to join a labor union.
"The Postmaster General
has denied that this provision
of the bill requires the union
shop. A recent, well reasoned
article points out, 'He is
right — but only in the sense
that a motorist would be
right if he said the law doesn't
strictly require him to drive
with his eyes open.'
"I cannot impress enough
the real issue at stake here.
Freedom works two ways.
There is such a thing as free-
dom to d<>. and likewise, there
is a freedom not to do. This
amendment is a sincere ef-
fort to protect that second
freedom. Without it, the bill
will be no more than a clever-
ly designed trap.
"Postal workers have al-
ready had their share of mo-
rale problems. The man who
is forced by his government
to throw his hands in the air
and live by the maxim 'if you
can't fight 'em, join 'em,' will
hardly feel gratitude for this
sort of treatment. There are
literally thousands of dedi-
cated postal employees who
would rather not join one of
the recognized postal unions.
Perryton Seeks
Entries In Wheel-
Queen Contest
PERRYTON — invitations
have gone out to cities in the
Golden Spread to send a con-
testant to the annual Wheat-
heart of the Nation beauty
contest scheduled in Perry-
ton on August 22, 1970 as a
highlight of the annaul Per-
ryton Celebration.
The Wheatheart contest is
one of the outstanding beauty
pageants in the Southwest
and the selection of the
Wheatheart of the Nation has
been a highlight of the Pan-
handle area since its begin-
ning in 1947.
Any single girl 16 years
or older, with a good repu-
tation and character who Is
properly endorsed by a civic
club or business firm is eligi-
ble for this beauty contest.
Judging is based on beauty,
personality, poise and figure.
The 1970 Wheatheart of the
Nation will receive a $1000
college scholarship. The first
runner-up will receive a $500
college scholarship and the
second runner-up will receive
a $250 college scholarship.
Entry deadline is August 1,
1970 and entries are to be
sent to the Chamber of Com-
merce in Perryton, Texas.
The contest will be held in
the Perryton high school
auditorium at 8 p.m. on Aug-
ust 22, 1970.
Miss Cindy Saied of Well-
ington is the current Wheat-
heart of the Nation and has
represented that nation's
wheat industry at several
functions including the 1969
Canadian National Exhibi-
tion at Toronto, Canada.
For us to be in a position of
sanctioning compulsory ac-
tions to force these workers
into a union would be highly
inconsistant for a govern-
ment dedicated to protect the
freedoms of its people.
"I urge the favorable pass-
age of this amendment and its
assurance of genuine postal
reform."
News deadline is noon Tues.
