Last year, for example, 55 percent of the crop was sold abroad, netting a favorable trade balance of almost $700 million The important thing to remember about these sales is that a large percent are commercial sales for dollars. This is especially important at a time when we talk about our "balance of payments" that is, trying to even up the dollars we spend for imports with the dollars we take in for exports U. S. exports of unmanufactured tobacco bulged to near record levels in calendar 1972 Exports of tobacco, including bulk smoking tobacco, totaled 635 million pounds in 1972, up substantially from 504 million in 1971 Value totaled $672 million up one third. The value of both unmanufactured tobacco ex ports and tobacco products reached temporary record highs; $638 million for tobacco and $240 million for products. Cigarette exports reached a total of 34 6 billion pieces for a value of almost $202 million an in crease of 10 percent in value compared to the previous year. Among all the states, North Carolina ranks fifth in farm exports; and the biggest part of those export revenues come from tobacco alone. It is more important than ever that we continue to expand our export sales efforts throughout the world if we hope to maintain the current export level. It will not only be to the benefit of tobacco growers, but to the economy of our state and nation.

We have not been notified of a successor. We have not been informed officially why Mrs. Ramsey has been discharged but have heard it was "for political reasons." At this point we do not feel qualified to discuss the matter but we certainly hope that the local license office will remain in operation. It required a great deal of effort on the part of many to get this office in Marshall and it has meant a great deal to the local citizenry to be able to get their license plates, transfers of titles and the other benefits afforded by the local office. It would be a shame to see the local office closed not only for the convenience of area motorists but for the economic boost it gives our town. Letter to the Editor MISUNDERSTOOD I await with bated breath the vast improvement in the management of License Tag Agency No. 78 in Marshall. I expect the firing of my mother, as that town's agent to have a sobering effect on the local ciUznery. I seem to recall words spoken by the holder of the Governor's office that those who performed their jobs well need have no fear of losing that job. I probably misunderstood. Perhaps her efficiency was to blame After all she is 56 years old Senility is rampant at that age, no doubt. And the fact that she has received a plaque for the past two years for being the agency with the least mistakes hardly says anything Of course Madison County has had its share of Democrats. Perhaps I stray from the subject at hand. 1 cannot speak for I or Expensive Cow EDITOR'S NOTE: One of "Chick" Murray's and Jim Cody's friends wondered if it might be them who the following article concerns.

One of the greaterst regrests of my life is that I voted for the present holder of the Governor's office. In so doing I put on more foot in the boot that kicked my mother out of a job. My only satisfaction is that I'm sure my mother wouldn't want to work for this type of many anyway. I do hope someone will advise me of the wonderful changes that take place beginning August 1. My mother's employment ter minates July 31. God deliver me from listening to, trusting, or becoming a politician. J. S.

He settled on a certain make and model and made the purchase. A few days later the dealer who had sold him the car arrived at his farm and said he would like to buy a cow for his country place. The farmer showed the dealer his cows and the dealer decided on one. "How much?" he asked. The farmer quickly sized up the situation and scribbled this itemized bill: Basic cow Two-toned exterior Extra stomach Product storage compartment Dispensing device ( 4 spigots $10 each ) Genuine cowhide upholstery Dual horns Automatic fly swatter TOTAL, exclusive of tax and delivery $200 45 75 60 40 125 35 15 $595 Diamonds turn black when they are heated to 1,900 de greet centigrade in the ab sence of air iK-X-X-X-X-X-SM- Pharmacy Comments 1 OUR PET PEEVE A pet peeve of ours is the refusal of some folks to red labels and to follow direc tions.

The Funeral Is Meaningful In Today's Society For anyone who wondered what funeral services are all about, Dr Joyce Brothers summed it up well in her syndicated column of January 9, 1972. She said, "Funeral rites not only honor the dead, but also comfort the living. They have a strong psychological significance in our lives. They help clarify the passing of a loved one and serve as a relief from tension and stress. They allow a person to express his feelings and often speed up the time needed for the healing of emotions." To Dr. brothers' readers, and tov)ost people, her statement assentially rein forced what they know is true. She simply put it into words which the 'average person could urtfteHhand. Actually, 'the funeral has been serving useful purposes in American society for generatiOflSFuneral ser vices, Btyond proper disposition of the body, do in fact become rites for the living. Through the funeral process, bereaved family and friends are able to share their grief with others. All are forced to accept the reality of death, which psychologists say is one of the most im portant needs to be fulfilled by the funeral. And for many people, the entire process is a further expression of religious faith, confirming their relationship to God. Telling the story of the value of a funeral is something new. While millions of people have actually witnessed and par ticipated in the various ac tivities which comprise the complete funeral, very few have had the opportunity to read such a vivid description of it as presented by Dr. Brothers in her column. M4II silence fell like "thunder" when she realized her own mistake. She had accidental ly picked up someone ebe't medicine at the pharmacy, and by failing to examine the prescript ka label, was not eve aware that this medicine scribed for someone else! iu;..'V.v v. sr x I FEAItHACIT - - Ceeiawleiwly located, ia the MotfceJ Center But understanding death, knowing how to manage grief, learning of the purposes of the funeral and handling bereavement situations are part of a growing trend in America. People are becoming more sophisticated in these areas because studies in the fields of psychology, psychiatry, nursing, theology and sociology have given in formation and insight into these subjects. These studies have shown that facing up to death and grief is healthy for all concerned. Now there are counseling approaches that can be utilized in helping people in times of bereavement, people who are dying and in other grief situations. Among the many things that have changed in our society are the locations of death. It used to be that death most often occurred in the home. Now, it's in hospitals or ex tended care facilities or homes for the aged or some other such institution. A pastor in a community, who must deal with death, grief and dying patient situations regularly, said in a recent interview that funeral services are essential. He explained, "There are definite stages of grief that people go through when they lose a loved one. Thwarting this grief cycle can cause psycho logical ... even physical ... problems for the rest of the person's life. In the traditional service, the widow, for in stance, has to greet all the friends and relatives. She has an opportunity to hear what the deceased meant to them. She rehashes the events of his death and talks out her feelings. This process is very therapeutic.

The significance and meaning of the funeral is reflected in its democratic quality. The funeral brings recognition to the good in man while giving the living an opportunity to express dignity and show respect for the dead. Any expression of kindness and respect in today's society is worthy of note. That's why the funeral is meaningful and why funeral services are all about love and caring.
