Dr. Gadsden is the resource consultant during Saint Augustine's Mid-Year Faculty-Staff Planning Conference. 'Transition Advice' (Continued from Page 15) academics, and usually, more problems. With nearly all the major institutions of American society in happy liberal accord, the liberal thinkers got lazy. They couldn't help it. Conservatives, however, had the incentive to try harder to propose constructive alternatives rather than merely attack liberal programs. Now, their work is paying off. I'm not bringing this up just to kick the liberals while they're down. For one thing, I don't expect them to stay down for long. I'm sure Senator Kennedy will indeed come up with his think-tank, or something like it, and Senator George McGovcrn with his so-called "Committee for Common Sense." or whatever it is he's cooked up. And politicians and academics on the left will work very hard at becoming lean and mean once again. However, the rise and fall of American liberalism is a useful morality tale for American conservatives. This is not a particularly ideological country. Americans, a practical people, are interested in programs that work, not just those that sound good. If conservatives are to stay in power, they must remain as clear-sighted and alert as they were when they were out of power. It is not enough to rely on the voters' allegiance to the abstract principles we hold dear, admirable though those principles may be. We must show them we are "doers," as well as "thinkers."

MAIL TO: BUDGET 101 City Hall Plaza .L s Durham, N.C. 27701 Your name:. Address: WINSTON SALEM As . America's trade deficit grows under a flood of imported cars, electronics and other items, one American taste has managed to carve out a leadership position iin the world market. American-blend cigaret ' tes, featuring a variety of tobaccos and flavorings, now account .for more sales than any other type of cigarette about 40 percent of the estimated world volume of 4.4 trillion cigarettes. In the United States alone, more than 610 billion American-blend . cigarettes were be sold in 1980. Outside of this country, American-blend brands are increasing their share at the expense of a wide variety of cigarette types. "The cigarettes known as American blend are the most popular on a worldwide basis," says William Lovett, leaf research and agricultural manager for R.J. Reynolds tobacco Interna tional, Inc. "However, ' throughout different parts of the globe, there is a broad diversity of con sumer preferences in cigarettes." During 1980, Reynolds curves Tobacco International estimates that a total of 4.4 trillion cigarettes will be sold worldwide. There are three types of cigarettes American blend, Virginia and black tobacco that account for most of that volumn, ac cording to Lovett , who works in dozens of the 140 countries in which the company sells its brands. American-blend cigaret tes are created by blending flue-cured tobacco, burley tobacco, oriental tobacco and often Maryland tobacco with significant amounts of flavorings such as choclate and sugar. Ever since Camel, the first American-blend cigarette, was introduced in 1913, American-blend brands have been gaining a greater share of the world market. Today, American-blend cigarettes dominate not only the United States market, they also are the leading brands throughotu Europe, Central and South America, and parts of the Far East. Unlike the American blend products, the world's second .most popular type of cigarette is made with only a single type of tobacco. Virginia Outf Loditefctiiij) cigarettes, which amount for close to one-third of the world volumn, are created with striaght flue cured, or Virginia, tobac co. Generally, Virginia cigarettes are favored in countries with a historical connection to the United Kingdom. In addition to Britain, the major Virginia cigarette, markets are Canada, Australia, New Zealand and some African countries. ' The third major category of' cigarettes is ' the black-tobacco brands. In France, Spain and scat tered markets in South America, the Mediterra nean and Africa, these cigarettes are amoung the leades. Black-tobacco brands are noted for their strong taste and pungent aroma due to the fermented, dark tobacco used in their pro duction. Although black tobacco cigarettes this year will comprise nearly 20 percent of the world market, their popularity is declining at the expense of American-blend brands such as Winston and Camel. While American-blend, Virginia and black tobacco cigrattes total more than 90 percent of the world market, Lovett notes that there are many other types of cigarettes enjoyed in various loca tions. These include: Turkish-tobacco cigarettes popular in Turkey, Greece and the Meditrranean. Also known as oriental cigaret tes, these use locally grown tobaccos. Bidi cigarettes sold in India. These are small tapered tubes wrapped iji leaves of Indian ebony, featuring bidi tobacco, a local tobacco grown in In dia. . ' Clove cigarettes in In donesia. In that country, cloves are blended with a native tobacco, krossak, adding a different taste as well as excitement since . they have a tendenecy to pop when lighted. Maryland cigarettes in Switzerland. While Maryland tobacco is used in many blended, brands, straight Maryland cigaret tes are the most popular style among the Swiss. R.J.
