Stokes told a gathering of
some 350 community,
business and government
leaders, including Gov.
James B. Hunt, Jr. and
Secretary of Commerce
Juanita Kreps.
Fran the time ground was
broken 26 months ago, R.J.
Reynolds employees have
been very much involved in
overseeing every aspect of
the building’s development
including planning, design
and construction, Stokes
pointed out.
J. Paul Sticht, president of
the company, called the
building a tribute to the
people who have built the
company “people with
vision, ideas, intelligence,
energy and a determination
to succeed.”
The RJR World
Headquarters was first
occupied last September,
and nearly 1,000 employees
now work in its 10 acres of
office space.
“The great growth of our
company, in the United
States and abroad, made a
world headquarters both
logical and necessary,”
Stokes said. “Our tobacco
heritage has propelled R.J.
Reynolds to our current
status as a major diversified
multi-national company,”
he said of the firm which
recorded 1977 sales and
revenues of $6.36-bUlion.
“Ten years ago we were a
tobacco company with a
collection of small foods
companies and a metals and
packaging operation,” said
Stokes. “Today half our
assets are in nonconsumer
businesses.”
About a third of RJR’s
revenues now come from
international operations and
about one-third of the
company’s employees are
outside the United States, he
noted.
RJR is also increasing its
presence in downtown
MnMIMjON noted,
with the building . .of the
Reynolds Plaza complex
a 16-story office tower and
two-story galleria which will
connect to the historic
Reynolds Building. Con
struction will begin in the
spring. When completed in
1960, RJR’s office capacity
downtown will be raised to
3,000 employees.
Following the dedication,
visitors viewed various
features of tie S4O-million
building including a 350-seat
auditorium with the latest
audiovisual equipment; 500-
seat employee dining room;
chapel; credit union;
convenience store; and
corporate art collection
containing more than 300
pieces and highlighted by
the results of a statewide art
competition recently con
ducted by the company.
THE CHOWAN HERALD
St«k Comments
N. C. Department of
Transportation (NCDOT)
officials revealed today,
plans for a two-month long
campaign to solicit public
comment and assistance in
developing long-range
statewide plans for aviation
and public transportation
systems and programs.
NCDOT officials plan to
hold 14 separate public
information meetings
during April and May to
provide the general public
and local governmental
officials with an opportunity
to participate-
Care Urged When Burning
Each year during the
spring and fall fire seasons
someone lets a fire escape
into his own or his neigh
bor’s woods.
Did you know that the
farmers and woodland
owners in North Carolina
are very fortunate in that
they can legally burn
agriculture lands such as
grain stubble fields, ditch
banks and new ground
piles? Woodland owner can
prescribe bum their woods
for such purposes as site
preparation. This is burning
the litter and duff so that
tree seeds will fall on bare
mineral soil and then ger
minate and start a new
forest.
Prescribe burning also
will increase the small
grasses and brushes for
animal and bird food.
Burning a mature stand of
pines at the right time will
eliminate many undesirable
trees, and this will help keep
the stand in pines.
When we bum we need to
think about several safety
features that will keep our
fires under control. Burning
near a woods or grass fields
when the fields are dry and
the wind blowing like it
always does in the spring
just helps a fire escape into
the woods out of control. We
can never take a fire or
burning operation for
granted. Sparks from a
window pile will blow many
(feet into .’’dty “passes of *
woods.'Our windrows should
be at least 100 ft. or more

which often took years.
“The commissioner’s
rejection of the proposed
rates is illogical and un
fair,” Parker said. “How
can he, or anyone, expect
insurance prices to remain
the same when the price is
rising for everything for
which insurance must pay.
“The insurance customer
will suffer in the long run if
the commissioner’s
rejection proves un
warranted, and the courts
consistently have ruled
against his rejection order
in the past. If we prove our
case in court, the insurance
customer will pay as a
taxpayer for the Com
missioner’s side of the
litigation and the customer
will pay as a policyholder
for the company’s expense
in the case.”
He said the unfairness of
the commissioner’s
rejection of the rates was
underscored by another
news story reported the
same day as his action. “In
fact, in one newspaper the
story on consumer price
increases was accompanied
by a charge which was
printed next to the in
surance story. That chart
showed the UJS. Govern
ment’s Consumer Price
Index had risen 32.2 points
in three years, compared
with the 6 per cent we
sought.
“This will be the first
increase in private
passenger auto liability
insurance since 1973 and it
was based on data from 1970
and earlier. In the seven
years since June 1970, bodily
injury liability insurance
has risen only 10.8 per cent
and property damage
liability insurance went up
30.3 per cent. There has
been no increase in com
prehensive insurance rates
in that period. There was a
40.7 per cent increase in
collision insurance rates,
but that averages less than 6
per cent annually for the
seven years.”' “
Around The Farms In Chowan County
There are some changes
in the peanut weed control
. recommendations this year
"along with die namaticide
recommendations. We
suggest that you check these
chemicals over carefully
and use the ones that are
most appropriate for the
problems that you have on
your farm.
If you have any questions
concerning the rates or
specific chemicals, please
contact us at the Extension
office.
R.M. Thompson
County Ext. Chairman
from the woods.
The burning permit law in
North Carolina is in effect 12
months of the year. Any
person, firm or corporation
needs a burning permit to
burn within 500 feet of any
woods in the state. These
permits are free and if you
need to burn and don’t know
how to obtain a burning
permit call Forest Ranger
Roger Spivey at 482-4554.
If people continue to burn
carelessly we could lose the
privilege of burning. Any
field or new ground burning
operation would then be
illegal.
We know how important it
is to protect our valuable
woodlands in Chowan and
North Carolina. These
forests mean many things to
our society and they are
especially important to the
tree farmer who ties up his
land and investment for at
least 35 years or more to
grow one crop of trees for
our enjoyment and use.
One thing for sure, we
need more farmers right
here in Chowan growing
trees.
