? On Thursday, December
16, all Robeson County tobac
co growers will have an op
portunity to vote on the con
tinuation of the currently
^existing tobacco acreage and
^poundage program. Since to
bacco contributes mote than
-S60 million to our local farm
Income, it is important that all
? eligible individuals express
their opinion regarding the
-tobacco program.
It goes without saying that
there is considerable turmoil
?in the tobacco industry at the
present time with views that
are quite divergent depending
upon the individual who may
be expressing an opinion.
Most farmers who lease in
tobacco seem thoroughly dis
gusted at the price, that they
feel they are forced to pay for
the privilege of producing
tobacco. Yet, it is pointed out
very quickly by the farmers
themselves that their fellow
producers are the ones who
bid up the prices for the
available pounds. Further
more, those individuals who
have pounds to lease are
naturally anxious to obtain the
going market price for those
pounds that are leased out.
At the North Carolina To
bacco Growers Association
meeting held in Raleigh re
cently, a resolution was pre
sented, and following some
iheated debate, was passed
which would place a jjrice
limitation on leaned pound
age. Additionally, the tobacco
growers voted to recommend
that price supports be frozen
for the 1983 marketing year.
In regard to the freezing of
price supports, there has also
been equally varied opinions
as oo other parts of the
tobacco program. The Leaf
Tobacco Exporters Associa
tion and the Tobacco Growers
Association are strongly in
favor of freezing price sup
ports while others fear that a
complete freeze in supports,
for 1983 will cause tobacco
buyers to simply wait and go
to markets next summer to
purchase their needs rather
than turning to Stabilization
to buy some of those bur
densome supplies that cur-,
rently exist in that farmer
owned organization.
Stabilization calculates that
it currently costs about $42'
per hundred weight to carry,
tobacco for one year. There-'
fore, if prices are frozen, and
with price levels remaining
similar in 1983 to 1982 prices,
then the tobacco in stabili
zation stocks would be signi
ficantly higher priced than to
bacco that will be available oh>
the floors next season.
Numerous individuals have
expressed concern regarding
these implications and ex
press reluctance to create a
.situation whereby the 260
imillion poutyis of tobacco that
Stabilization received in 1962
(would be overpriced compare
ed to newly available tobacco.
Individuals expressing this
concern have ranged frorr?
?Representative Charlie Rose
to Secretary of Agriculture.
John Block and to economists
at N.C. State University.
It is obvious from these
comments that depending on
the side cf a fence that one
happens to find themselves,
their attitude might be qpite
different from someone on the
other side of a fence. As
Secretary Block said in a
recent speech, the tobacco
program is seeking to find
stability "but it has not gotten
there yet." He further stated
that we will "try to do what
we can in support of the
tobacco industry," but "no
decision is black or white,
they ail ate gray."
It surely appears that this is
the situation facing tobacco a*
the present time, but it ii
important that producers
make a serious assessment of
the currently existing tobacco
program and be prepared to
vote their feelings regarding
that program on December
16.
Some say sneezing on Satur
day means you'll see your
sweetheart on Sunday.

SPASMS LINKED WITH
HEART ATTACKS
English physician Dr. Paul Sher
wood, based on his years of medical
practice and observation, has con
cluded that most heart attacks are
linked to spasms, or contractions, of
the coronary arteries.
His theory, gaining more and more
support from the medical commu
nity, still leaves a challenging un
answered question: "What is the
reason for the arterial spasm?"
Dr. Sherwood suggests it is an
upset of the sympathetic nerve con
trol to the arteries due to a state of
congestion around the stellate gang
lion. Sherwood lists a variety of
factors leading to recognition of the
syndrome which can be a direct pre
lude to a coronary attock. They
include tiredness, indigestion,
anxiety, moderate or severe muscle
spasms and the signs and symptoms
of cervical and upper thoracic back
trouble.
He proposes treatment entirely
physical medicine rather than medi
cation, recommending ultrasonic
waves to reduce muscle spasms,
surged Faradism (electric stimula
tion) to increase the tissue circula
tion, and massoge and "remobiliza
tion" of the neck by gentle manipu
lation.
