LOCAL EDITORIAL COMMENT Remember Hazel Probably no woman's name remains so vividly In the minds of Franklin County citizens as does "Hazel." In 1954 and for a time thereafter, pity the poor girl whose name happened to be "Hazel." For It was on October 15, 1954 that the deva stating hurricane Hazel came right through Franklin County, leaving havoc In her wake. Later, we remember Connie and Dlanne. Now, it's Dora and Ethel. Whatever the name giv en to these fall storms, whether It be a girl's name, or whether we oall them hurricanes, or ty phoons, as they do in the pacific, or even Willy-WUlles as they do w^st of Australia, they're still very dangerous. Slnoe Hazel came roaring through, we In Franklin County listen more attentively to the weather bureau advisories. If Hazel did nothing more for us, this Is most worthwhile. It may never happen again here, and more likely than not, It won't, but It Is well to keep posted on the location of these storms Just in case. Ten years later, most of us haven't gotten over the Hurri cane Hazel fever and mayb,e we never will. The Tobacco Dollar The chant of the tobacco auc tioneer rings loud and clear In Loulsburg today and the music It makes Is pleasing to the ears of the farmer, the warehouse man, the merchants and, Indeed, every citizen. It marks the time of year when everyone discards the excuses used through the summer months to put off doing things that should be done. "Walt un til the fall" or "Wait until I sell my tobacco," are frequent heard statements In these parts. The end to the waiting starts today. The harvest Is here and prices and quality are expected to be good. The dollars start their flow through local com merce today. Last year the to bacco crop placed nearly $6 million Into the economy of the county. To show the importance of the tobacco dollar, the N. C. Farm Jgureau has started a "tobacco dollar" ? a real one, encased In plastic ? on Its rounds from Pitt County, with Instructions on the back. The Bureau will try to discover where the "tobacco dollar" goes and how much good It does. Probably more lmDor tantly, to demonstrate to the public the tremendous Impor tance of the tobacco Industry to a particular section of the state. We in Franklin County know the Importance of the tobacco dollar. As the farmer goes, so the tobacco dollar goes, so goes the farmer. When we look at Industry In our county, let us look first to the oldest and largest, the tobacco auctions In the fall. The farmer and the warehousemen are big business In Franklin County. Let the people remember this fact and help both to have a profitable selling season., WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING New York Calls In Outsider To Run For U. S. Senate Seat The Nashville Graphic September 3, 1964 From this distance, the selection of Robert Kennedy of Massachusetts as the Democratic nominee for the United States Senate from New York appears nothing less than ludicrous. Although there Is no legal requirement that a United States Senator live In the state he represents, It Is almost unthinkable that the voters of any state would elect an outsider to fill such an Important position. Can you Imagine, for example, the voters of North Carolina electing a candidate from South Carolina or some other state to represent them In one of the highest political offices In the land? It would be Just as ridiculous (If It were possible under present law) for the voters of Nash County to elect somebody from Franklin or Wake or Johnston County to represent them In the State Legislature. And yet It seems ln all the great, enlightened State of New York, there Is not a single, soli tary soul who Is qualified for the Democratic nomination for the United States Senate. A man from Massachusetts, who happens to have a famous name, is called in to make the race. But then, there Is another way to look at It. If the voters of New York elect Bobby to the United States Senate, maybe this Is the best they deserve. The Fra^^n Times ? Established 1870 ? Published Tuesdays A Thursdays by THE FRANKLIN TIMES.
