SUSSEX County Farm
Bureau Holds Meeting
CONTINUED from page one)


contributes to the support of our
Delaware public schools. Many
other states levy no such tax for
/ the support Of their own schools
Before Federal Aid for schools
can appear as a reasonable de-
mand on national funds, all states
should first require full support
from their citizens for their own
schools.
Even after this condition is met,
we believe it would be difficult
and even impossible to lean heay-
lily on the Federal Treasury for
the support of public schools with
out the control and direction of our
schools coming under a Federal
Bureau"
The second resolution adopted
was to favor the Weights and Mea-
sures Bill which was passed by the
State Senate and is now in the
House committee.
The third resolution passed
urged once again the immediate
passage of a Delaware right-tO
work law. Previous county meet
ings have passed this same resolu-
tiOn but some interesting new COM
ments were contained in the reso-
luton as follows:
I'VE re-emphasize that Farm
Bureau is not anti-uniOn. We are
fully aware that fair and equitable
wages are essential to good con-
sumer demand for the products of
our farms. However, an arrange
ment which provides that any fac
tory emplOye may freely and al
any time become part-time farm
er, and yet imposes compulsory
union membership on any farmer
who seeks factory employment, is
an arrangement that is plainly un-
fair to the farmer.
1--WE further note that the COM
pulsOry union shop gives rise to
dictatOrial contrCl and abuse by
unscrupulOus labor leaders. Such
graft and abuse affects adversely
the movement of farm products il
market channels"
The county bureau also voted to
urge the retention of the present
Electoral College system until the
|
| plain, and to oppose the passage
Of any new zoning law "as SUCH.
In regard to the zoning law vote,
an explanation was attached as fol-
! lows: 1--WE consider the Objectives
| of zoning laws to be commendable
| However, in practice, we. consider
the attainment of those detectives
to be impossible without assign
ing arbitrary powers to a govern
mental agency which may make
the cure more intOlerable than the
disease. We urge, therefore, that
present public powers be fully
used against acknowledged public
nuisances."
