Joe Lanier Son * ga^j Duplin County 's Board of Commissioners are faced "with the fact that some $4 million must be cut from the budget requests for 1983-84 if the property tax rate is to stay the same. . .Thus, it is doubtful if any department will receive their full request. . .Thus, the school board will probably be looking at a cut in their request for a million dollars new money. There is one thing in this school budget that I believe is a must that comes under new money. That is the $56,000 it will take to.refurnish the typing labs at two of the county's high schools. At the present time the typing labs or business classes are stocked with manual k typewriters. Today's modern business offices are stocked with electric typewriters an1 wood processors (a type of computer-typewriter). It seems extremely unfair that students in Duplin County must be taught typing and business procedures oh typewriters that are as behind the times as are Model A cars.. . .The plan is to set up 16 electric typewriters and 16 word processors in the two high schools chosen this year and to repeat the process next year in the two remaining high schools. . . .Also, in the two high schools that do not receive new typing machines this year, they will receive a computer lab ? w hich is federally funded. . .That, too, will be flip-flopped next year, with the other two high school receiving computer glabs. . However, it will not be a choice of the county, commissioners as to whether this will be funded. . .That will he the duty of the school board. . .They will undoubtedly have to make the tough decision ? which is more important to the students of Duplin County. . .New learning machines or Southern Association accreditation. Along th* Way ?Imlly KllUtt* The tobacco program has gone through many changes since 1941. Today farmers designate to sell their poundage with a warehouse and are treated equally re gardless of the allotment size. In the past several years, the tobacco farmers have enjoyed the benefits of ware house designation, which is done in the spring. The designation program allows small and large allotment holders equal consideration for market space throughout the season. Farmers are in the process of designating warehouses with the local Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service office. The designation deadline is April 15. An article was published in the August 21. 1941. issue of THF Dl'PLIN TIMES. Wal lace tobacco warehousemen outlined reasons to sell within Duplin. Wallace had two tobacco warehouses in 1941; today there are four markets in the town. The 194. warehouses will sound familiar because they are still operating today? Hussey. and Blanchard Ac Farrior (known as the Brick Ware house) were the tobacco markets open within Wallace in 1941. Wallace's markets today include Flussey. Blan chard Ac Farrior. New Duplin and New Sheffield. The 1941 publication out lined an argument which still makes sense today ? selling Duplin-grown tobacco within its home county. Listed as one reason to consider sell ing in Duplin was the opera tors of the warehouses. W.L. "Bill" Hussey and George D. Bennett at Hussey's and 0 C. Blanchard and W.H. Farrior at the Brick Ware house were considered seasoned tobacco men with a knowledge of the local far mers needs. The Wallace warehouses could be favor ably compared to any larger tobacco market and were well-staffed, roomy and light. All major tobacco com panies sent representatives to the Duplin warehouses and local markets would save transportation costs for the farmer. This year, as each year, the U.S. Tobacco Grading Service has requested the establishment of nine new grades and the deletion of 10 old grades. The new grades as proposed are: C5LP, low quality lemon priming-side cutters; C5FP. low quality orange priming-side cutters; X4LL, fair quality whitish lemon lugs; C4LL, fair qual ity whitish-lemon cutter; B4DK. fair quality dark-red variegated leaf; B5DK. low quality dark-red variegated leaf, B6DK. poor quality dark-red variegated leaf; X4S. fair quality slick lugs; and C4KF. fair quality varie gated orange cutters. The grades. B4R, HI F. H2F. M4F. M5F. M4KR. M5KM. M4GK and M5GK are sug gested to be deleted from the grading system. The Tobacco Associates' 36th annual report listed North Carolina's 1983 tobacco quota at 584.298.000 pounds. North Carolina far exceeds the quota of the over five tobacco-producing states. Alabama's production quota for 1983 is 743.000 pounds. Florida. 19,157,000 pounds; Georgie. 94,864.000 pounds: South Carolina. 113.930,000 pounds; and Virginia. 79.391.000 pounds. The North Carolina quota will more than quadruple the poundage of its nearest com petitive tobacco-producing state. This state's large share of the total tobacco poundage grown in the U.S. should make North Carolina citizens aware of the role of tobacco in our state's economy. Be aware. Duplin and North Carolina citizens, elections will be held for many political offices this year. Make sure the candi date pledges support for tobacco and check his past voting record. Does he sup port tobacco? A vote for a candidate not supporting tobacco would be a ballot cast against the state of North Carolina. i ^cambridge"!
