"Do It Right: Grow Premium Bright"
RALEIGH—“Do it Right:
Grow Premium Bright,” is
the slogan for the 1983
Premium Bright flue-cured
tobacco campaign, officially
kicked off by Governor James
B. Hunt With the help of Com
missioner of Agriculture Jim
Graham, state campaign
chairman William Little from
the N.C. Farm Bureau and
Kenneth Keller, beltwide
campaign chairman and
managing director of the
Bright Belt Warehouse
Association.
“It’s purpose is to em
phasize the quality of our pro
duct and to increase the deter
mination of our growers to
produce the best tobacco in
the world,” emphasized Hunt.
“Growers have lost ground
in the battle to maintain quali
ty over the past years,” said
Graham, who pointed out that
the percentage of ripe,
mature tobacco reaching the
warehouse floor decreased
from 79 per cent in 1972 to 47
per cent in 1982.
The Premium Bright 1983
campaign is a multi-agency
effort designed to improve the
quality of tobacco across the
flue-cured belt, explained Ray
Campbell, tobacco marketing
specialist with the N.C.
Department of Agriculture.
“There are four key areas
of emphasis for North
Carolina in 1983,” said Camp
bell. “The first area of con
cern is the excessive use of
nitrogen. The second is the
timeliness of harvest and the
number of primings,” he said.
“The third area is the amount
of pesticide residue, including
MH residue levels, and the
final point of concern is the
method of curing and the
degree of market preparation
practiced by North Carolina
growers.”

to localize the Premium
Bright campaign. More than
two-thirds of the counties in
North Carolina will be par
ticipating in the campaign,
and officials hope the cam
paign will be carried out on
the local level as well, where
grower-to-grower contact will
play a major role in improv
ing the quality of flue-cured
tobacco in North Carolina.
Public Hearing
RALEIGH—The North
Carolina Department of
Human Resources and the
North Carolina Association of
County Commissioners will
co-sponsor five public hear
ings on long-term care across
the state in May.
A hearing will be held May
12 in Elizabeth City at Pas
quotank County Courthouse, 7
P.M. to 9 P.M.
Dr. Ted Parrish, DHR’s
assistant secretary for in
tergovernmental relations
and chairman of the Commit
tee on Long Term Care will
serve as moderator at the
hearings. The committee in
cludes representatives of
government, advocacy
groups, long-term care pro
viders, and private citizens.
“The purpose of these hear
ings is to receive comments
and information about the
growing needs of North
Carolina’s elderly and disabl
ed citizens,” Parrish said.
“What we learn will help in
putting together a com
prehensive long-term care
plan for the state.”
He added that one of the
most important goals of the
pain will be to help the elder
ly and disabled remain as in
dependent as possible, for as
long as possible, by offering
services that will allow these
citizens to stay in their own
homes rather than being
placed in institutions.
Washington Report: Emergency Assistance Act
by Congressman
Walter B. Jones
During the years I have
been in the Congress, I have
attempted to report through
this column on what is hap
pening on the Congressional
level, more particularly on
the House side. Some weeks it
is impossible to report to you
that which might be of in
terest. Last week was a
classic example of this situa
tion. For some eight or nine
hours on Tuesday the House
bitterly debated the
Emergency Housing
Assistance Act. This would
provide for a moratorium on
mortgage foreclosures to
homeowners, who through no
fault of their own, find
themselves unemployed, but
otherwise with prospects of
being able to repay the mor
tgage at some future date.
This legislation would declare
a 12-month moratorium on
foreclosures with refinancing
arragements at lower
payments in order to provide
the protection of homeowner
ship to those unfortunate in
dividuals involved. The con
troversy surrounding the bill
is whether the government
should guarantee the repay
ment of these loans or rather
force private enterprise as
well as government agencies,
such as Farmers Home Ad
ministration and the Veterans
Administration, to withhold
action. In spite of the good in
tentions of the bill, it ran into
a great amount of oppisition
from the present Administra
tion, and even after the eight
hours ot amendments and
debate no final action was
taken. So the bill was carried
over to be considered at a
future date.
In another round of time
consuming activity was the
consideration of the anti
nuclear freeze resolution. As
this column is being written,
the House has already spent
exactly 41 hours in considera
tion of this single issue. I have
previously reported the con
tents, but just to remind what
this does, it provides that both
the United States and Russia
should allow on-site inspec
tion of nuclear installations
and warheads and come to
some agreement for a fixed
reduction, or rather at least a
termination of continuing
build-ups. The weakness, as
far as I am concerned, of the
whole program is that it is
hardly reasonable to expect
Russia to co-operate in the
matter of the varifiable ac
tivity as to their strength and
their nuclear arsenals. This
would not in any way be a
law, but would memely be a
Sense of Congress asking that

Russia consider taking the
same action which the con
tents of the Resolution pro
vide and which this nation is
willing to agree to. In all pro
bability at some time in the
future the Resolution will be
approved by the House, and
again, after careful con
sideration and lengthy
debate, many of us feel that it
is a most noble purpose since
all civilized people are
against nuclear war realizing
that if and when one occurs,
there is no way to estimate
the damage or for that matter
the ultimate destruction of the
entire earth. The proponents
of this legislation say it is an
act of faith or good will on our
part to stop the nuclear arms
race and then if Russia
doesn’t agree, the respon
sibility would be on their
shoulders. In this instance,
President Reagan and the Ad
ministration does not want to

see the Resolution passed,
whereas the Democratic
leadership insists that it is an
act of good faith and inten
tions and places the respon
sibility on our adversaries
particularly, the Russians. As
important as the intentions ot
the bill might be, it seems
hardly reasonable to expect
that Russia would agree to a
verifiable treaty of any nature
whatsoever. As I have stated,
the Administration is oppos
ing this resolution based on
the grounds that it weaken'
our negotiating position in
Geneva, where at the present
time several nations are
discussing the very idea oi
trying to put some control or
the nuclear arms race.
So, in sum total, the Houm
although spending a cor.
siderable amount of time m
debate, accomplished nothing
of final nature for the week
ending April 22.
