As difficult as one may find it to believe, there is an entire generation of not-so-young people in this country today who have never seen a cigarette commercial on television. Reading the words “Winston tastes good, like a cigarette should, ’? just doesn’t seen the same as with the old familiar jingle of television and Gary Moore’s “I’ve Got A Secret.” If none of that brings back a tinge of nostalgia, you probably haven’t been captivated by recent surrounding North Carolina’s tobacco industry either. In short, the longstanding liason between government and the tobacco industry is breaking up. For those people unafraid to look, the recognition is obvious that it’s only a matter of time. The end of the govern ment-industry liason doesn’t mean that the sale and use of tobacco won’t continue far into the future. What it does mean is that the tobacco farmer of the near future will have to “hoe his “IF YOU WANT TO DRINK... that’s your business, BUT if you have a drinking problem, we want to help."

Ludicrous because in one department of the federal government the bureaucrats are telling us that tobacco can kill us. In other areas of the federal government, the bureaucrats exist only at the behest of the tobacco dollar. The cutting edge of the federal government in volvement at stake is, of course, the price support program. Simplisticly, the federal government puts up the money for a semi private corporation to buy all tobacco not purchased on the open market at a certain (artificial) price level. Later, when the tobacco is sold to manufacturers, the money is paid back to the government, sort of. Sup porters of the program suggest it is practically a “wash” account except for the cost of administering it and occasional nominal losses. Opponents of the program say the government has no business being involved with something it says is dangerous to your health. On paper, the opponent’s seem logically to win the argument - especially to the nonsmoker trying to drink coffee at the case counter at six o’clock in the morning. But in North Carolina, we know that the argument goes deeper than the sup port program and the other areas of federal in volvement like research and import quotas. Tobacco farming and the related industries are away of life. MYRTLE M. PRITCHARD 3BHC^' : ' X '\^ v v THOMAS K. PRITCHARD - * F.O. MI 534, ELIZABETH CITT, B.C. 27*05 Bha RHONI 338-6079 V, >.

Jimmy Carter, a Georgia peanut farmer, knew the importance of tobacco as a cash crop. With his re election, North Carolinians could have kept the current tobacco problems at bay probably for another four years. Unfortunately (for Car ter), that seems about the only thing he could have done that would have pleased the North Carolina constituency. President Reagan is not going to go to the wall for the tobacco programs. Price supports are in trouble next year. Last week, the U. S. Interntional Trade Com mission recommended that President Reagan not im pose import quotas on Joreign tobacco -- something tobacco farmers in this country wanted very badly. Research money has already been cut, as have federal monies for tobacco granding. So now seems a good time for a complete reevaluation of a major part of North Carolina’s economic foundation. It may be that much of what the federal government has been doing can be accomplished privately. Further down the road, there may even be a profitable silk worm or two. Cigarette manufacturers took the hint years ago - they’ve diversified into ships and soaps and movies and beer and other profitable non-burning substances. It’s no “secret” that North Carolina tobacco farmers don’t have to disappear like Gary Moore.
