Confidence Needed
In Business, Says
KiWanis Speaker

Ability to make decisions and
stick to them, and enthusiasm in
the job to be done are the two
greatest factors for success. while
fear and procrastination are the
major obstacles, the Ell Centre XII
wants club was told Friday by Will
liam johnson.
The speaker was introduced by
Roy Womack, who commented
briefly on the need for confidence
and leadership in the coming year
Johnson's definition of success
is that it is measured by the lead
ership a man gives his community
and the things he accomplishes.
Success, he declared. is a quality
to be found in the man himself.
not in his opportunities. Twenty
two leading railroad presidents of
the United States, he pointed out,
did not have college educations,
and more than half of them never
finished high school,
The man who is higher up, who
holds the position of leadership, is
only two per cent better than the
rest of u.s." the speaker declared.
THAT two per cent is the margin
of leadership"
Also on the clubs program was
one of a series of five minute life
histories, given by E. A. F'itzhugh.

In the face of a firm declaration
by the sheriff that no picketing
will be allowed, however, the union
officials decided at the last minute
against attempts TO put new pickets
on the line Monday morning. 1t
is two weeks since pickets were
ordered away by the sheriff because,
he said, they failed to live up to
an agreement with him limiting the
number on the picket line.
NLRB Agent Howard returned to

ordinator, that Imperial county Of

that he would report the Sheriffs
attitude to the government. He
added that the Civil Liberties union,

The labor board man asked if
Ware would permit picketing Mon
day.
NO" said the sheriff.
mot even one pickett asked
Howard.
Not even one!" replied the sher-
iff.
In answer to another question,
Ware informed Howard that he
would not permit picketing on gov
eminent property in Imperial coun-
ty because he is responsible for any
trouble which might result. Neither
will he allow picketing of the high
ways between Yuma and the Allen
contract. he added.
HoWards discussions with Allen,
the contractor said, caused the la
Dor board man to quote from Sec
retary of Interior Harold Ickes' re-
cent speech in which he flayed
predatory wealth" Allen told
Howard, he declared, that he was
not in that class. -
