Thursday, Decemberl6,l9B2 Weyerhaeuser Highlights Seedlings For Future Forests * Genetically superior seed lings which will become the future forests of the South are being gently lifted from their beds at Weyerhaeuser Com pany’s nursery near Goose Creek in Beaufort County. According to production manager Rod Ramsey, crews began taking seedlings from the beds on November 29 and the operation will continue un til about the middle of February. “We started slowly this year, Ramsey said, using on ly 20 member crew of lifters and packers. But now that we’re getting some good, cold weather on a substained basis, things will pick up,” he concluded. A second 20 member crew has been added. The seedlings are taken from the beds by a mechanical lifter developed by Weyerhaeuser and are then packaged in bundles which are in turn put in large bags for cold storage. About half of the 35-million seedlings in the nursery this year will be used on company owned lands and Tree Farm Family lands. The remainder will go to Weyerhaeuser tree fanns in Mississippi, Alabama and Arkansas, and to lands owned by other companies and in dividuals across the South. Seedlings range from eight to 12 inches in height at the time they are lifted and reached maturity in about 25 years. The cold weather we’re having now (temperatures of 50 degrees and below are best) help the seedlings to go dormant; a condition necessary for their survival from seedling bed to forest. Interestingly, when most farmers are planning for the next growing season, tree farmers are getting seedling stock into the ground. The cold months—December through February—are best for planting loblolly pine.

The 105-acre nursery was opened in 1969, produced its first crop in 1970 and in given years has 50-acres in seed lings and 50-acres in cover crops (the other six acres are taken up by roads, buildings and packing). Seedlings are grown from seed produced at the company orchard also in Beaufort County near the original Washington. “We’re proud of the seed lings produced here”, said ad ministrative secretary Rose Faucette, who added, “our seedlings will help keep the south in the forefront of forestry. This year’s crop is one of the best I’ve seen.” Safety Programs Complete A series of safety meetings with a special touch has just been completed at Plymouth Fiber. The program was developed by Moe Matthews, Senior Project Engineer and Ronnie Thompson, NC-2 Superintendent for use in regular quarterly safety meetings. Centerpiece for the meetings was a video tape featuring local, regional, na tional and international labor officials giving their views on safety programs, specifically, Weyerhaeuser’s. The taped presentation, produced in house by Weyerhaeuser Com pany, under the direction of Matthews and Thompson, emphasized the importance of good training, good education, and good communication to the success of any safety pro gram. It also pointed to the importance of company and union working together to maintain good safety. According to Matthews and Thompson, feedback was “ex cellent” from the 260 employees who attended. It was an opportunity to hear union officials say in a “live” format what their views are on this important subject. The tape was shown at five safety meetings, including a special session in conjunction with in stallation of the new extended nip press on NC-1 linerboard machine. Participants included Ar nold Brown, Vice President and Region 4 Director; Reavy Irby, International Represen tative; Bob Frase, Director of Occupational Health and Safety; Jack Britt, Local President and Dick Lamb, Local Vice President, all of the United Paperworkers In ternational Union. Record Set At Chip And Saw A new single day produc tion record of 19-thousand-403 board feet per hour was set at the Plymouth Chip ‘n’ Saw on Monday, December 6, accor ding to manager Bob An drews, who said, “it was a significant team effort”. Showers at the Shrine Bowl Charles Showers, Jr., a six foot-one inch senior tackle at North Duplin High School selected to play in the annual North (Carolina) South (Carolina) game at Charlotte, produced four of his team’s 10-points in a losing effort on Saturday, December 11. Showers kicked a 26-yard field goal and tackled on an extra point following his team’s only touchdown. He also kicked off the North Carolina Team in the regionally televised game. He is the son of Charles Showers, foreman of the com pany’s remote woodyard at Faison. The elder Showers has been with Weyerhaeuser for 10-years. CROSSWORD ACROSS DOWN 20. Hun- Early In- 1.

Department of Crime Control and Public Safety, announced the start of a unique program to diminish the number of drunk drivers on the state’s highways. ■■ “Starting January 1,” dark said in a news conference, “the Division of Alcohol Law Enforcement in cooperation with the Governor’s Highway Safty Program will begin a program with owners, operators and employees of licensed alcohol outlets on how they can help curtail drunk driving in this state. “This is an innovative pro gram,” dark said. “We do a good job of apprehending drunk drivers in this state, but we need to do more to prevent people from driving drunk. This program addresses that ' issue.” Don Murray, director of the Division of Alcohol Law En forcement, said, “The pro gram is designed to sensitize people in the alcohol business concerning the DUI problem and to encourage them to take responsible care in serving alcoholic beverages to their patrons. “We willl also encourage them to offer assistance to alcohol-impaired patrons to assure they do not leave the premises and drive. They can call a cab for the patron or get a friend to drive him home, for example.” “One way we will do this,” Murray said, “is through a video tape program designed to alert licensed outlet employees to the signs of potential impairment in a patron. Most people can detect an obviously intox icated person, but it’s a little harder to detect the point at which a patron’s next drink may impair him. “This is a give and take for- mat video tape, too,” Murray added. “The agent will run a scenario and then stop the tape to discuss with the employees what actions they’d take to stop it from get ting out of hand. We also hope to learn techniques from peo ple who work with these situa tions everyday on how they handle the problem so we can pass their solutions on to others who work in the business.” Murray gave an example to explain what he meant. “One scenario involves a situation at a convenience store. It’s late at night. The clerk behind the counter is a small woman and she is alone. A large man walks in, pretty well intox icated already, gets a six pack of beer out of the cooler and puts it on the counter. Opinions Are Stated On N.C. Taxes Not that it matters very much, in dollars or in princi ple, but North Carolina seems to look a little silly of late in its discussions over at least a couple of specialty taxes. Take the tobacco tax for in stance, though few Tarheel legislators will—perhaps, and perhaps not, at the urging of their constituency. The last time North Carolina raised its tobacco tax on a pack of cigarettes was in 1969, to 2* per pack. Since that time, some of the most venomous debates in our state government have been directed at those who would suggest raising the tobacco tax again. The tax has re mained the lowest in the country. Basically, tobacco sup porters in the state have argued that additional taxes in North Carolina would precipitate tax escalation throughout the nation. But state tobacco taxes have in creased regularly, without any North Carolina impetus, to the point where even tobac co growing states have state taxes several times the amount of North Carolina’s tax. ultimate insult "occurred this year when North Carolina legislators re jected out-of-hand any sug gestion of a tobacco tax hike even under such adverse cir cumstances as a salary freeze for the state employees and teachers. Then, under a presi dent who had campaigned for lowering taxes, and who had often chortled at Democrat Joe Califano in the Carter years, the federal tax on 6 TZeCfclyter downtown odtnton FRIDAY, iartly DECEMBER 17th m-K/ MONOGRAM 2 MARATHON 10 AM.

Well sit down and discuss that situation with employees of convenience stores, offer our ideas and get theirs,” Murray said. Vidqo tapes have been prepared for three different types of outlets: the conve nience store type outlets, the restaufant-lounge type establishment and the beer tavern. About 24 ALE agents have been trained to make the presentations, and they will go directly to the establishments to give the program. “We are notifying outlets of the program, and we hope to hit about 3,000 during the first year of the program,” Mur cigarettes was doubled—to 8* per pack. That tax hike incidentially, apparently pre-empted any possibility of North Carolina gaining any revenue from ad ditional cigarette taxes any time soon. But it did not stop the tobacco manufacturers from raising their prices “in preparation for the tax hike” which takes effect on January Ist. Just for the record, cigarette taxes don’t generate that much revenue anyway; three cents more per pack would raise only enough for about a one per cent pay hike for state employees and teachers.

Another phase of the pro gram involves a survey of law enforcement officers about where people arrested for DUI got their last drink. “We have a form that we’ll place at locations where there are Breathalyzers. We’re asking officers to fill them out to give us an idea where the arrested person got his last drink.” • “If we find one establish ment turning up time and time again, we will make a special visit to the establish ment to counsel with the operator,” Murray said. Murray is highly optimistic about the potential impact the program can make on the drunk driving problem in the state. “It’s a unique pro gram,” he said. “It’s a source prevention program. We’re trying to make sure that peo- What makes us look really silly is this gasoline tax thing. You should remember last year’s gas tax debate, when life or death and the gover nor’s entire career rested on if and how much North Carolina raised its gasoline tax. After two years of a study commission and six months of hard debate, our legislators squeezed out three cents per gallon when the experts said we needed at least a nickel a gallon more. According to the Depart ment of Transporation, that three cents wasn’t enough and North Carolina stands to lose up to S2OO-million in matching Continued On Page 11-A Page 9-A pie don’t get impaired to the level where they are going to be a traffic hazard and wind up getting a DUI or killing someone.” “We ask the public for some understanding of the pro gram, too. They must under stand that when a bartender or employee of an alcohol outlet refuses to serve a customer, it’s for that customer’s own good. They are trying to help and protect their patrons,” Murray said. Murry said the program also is being well received by the industry. The program has been endorsed, to date, by the North Carolina Restaurant Association, the North Carolina Beer Wholesalers Association, the North Carolina Wine Wholesalers Association, the North Carolina Motel and Hotel Association and the North Carolina Association of Convenience Stores.
