LOCAL EDITORIAL COMMENT Louisburg Firemen Members of the Louisburg Volunteer Fire Department were awarded Certificates this week for having completed a special training course. Hours spent In this latest effort to Improve themselves, plus time given to \ training program in January make a total of 617 hours these men have spent In training. Now, practically every man, fireman and others, will attend a fire. The excitement and the opportunity to be of help draws them. But, to participate in hours of, sometime boring, training sessions, is a mark of a man dedicated to his work. LouisDurg has a good fire de partment. The equipment is modern, even though many newer things are needed, and the men are well trained. This should be a comfort for citizens whose lives and property de pend on these men and their equipment. But, these should never be taken for granted. It's the citizens duty to keep in formed of the needs and the activities of its department, just as It is the duty of the members to keep themselves abreastof the latest techniques. Congratulations to the men completing the course. May they never need it. The Outlook Is Not Bright A July 31, 1964 release from the N. C. Farm Bureau Federa tion lists what Bureau Presi dent B. C. Mangum terms, "a difficult dozen" danger signs. And while Mr. Mangum opti mistically expressed confi dence that growers, "can ar rive at workable solutions," the outlook Is anything but bright for tobacco farmers. The danger signs listed as "primary areas of concern" & rc * (1) The U. S. Surgeon Gener al's special report has singled out cigarette smoking as a health hazard which warrants "appropriate remedial action." (2) The Federal Trade Com mission has proposed regula tions of advertising and labels lng of cigarettes. (3) Twenty-six U.S. Senators voted recently to repeal price supports for tobacco. (4) A tobacco surplus exists throughout the Free- World. ?. (5) Cigarette consumption for the first six months of 1964 fell 6.5 per cent below the corres ponding period In 1963-. (6) The volume of- tobacco used to make 550 billion ciga rettes in 1963 was the same as that used to make 463 billion cigarettes In 1952. ? (7) Increasing foreign com petition makes U. S. export future uncertain. (8) .There is a widening price spread between U. S. and for eign export tobaccos. (9) CCC stocks of flue-cured tobacco are at an all-time high. (10) Flue-Cured Tobacco Co operative Stabilization has suf fered Its first loss ? $77 mil llonon the 1955 and 1956 crops. (11) Stabilization sales activity is weak. Only 11 million pounds were sold during the first six months of 1964. Sales tradi tionally are highest during this period of the year. (12) Over 200 million pounds are expected to be added to Stabilization stocks 'from the 1964 crop, pushing the inventory to roughly 900 million pounds. Burley production and carry over for 1964-65 will probably be over two billion pounds ? the largest on record. The tobacco farmer has lick ed the weather, the insects, the drought, the mule, the install ment collector, the depression, his reduced acreage, Federal control, State control, local suggestions, extension service .recomendatlons, the ware houseman's cut, the Federal grader, tobacco loopers, wet priming days, lazy laborers, erroneous land measurers, the telephone party lines, running out of barn fuel, sitting up at barns, the children leaving "home and the wife's social circles. This should give rea son to Believe that he will lick .these problems, but the old law of supply and demand is hard to beat. Sooner or later, one of two things has to take place. There has to be more tobacco con sumed or there has to be less tobacco grown. This law has all but caught up with the to bacco grower, time is about to run out. WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING Monroe Doctrine Buried U. S. Press Association Editorial Comment It has now been made plain by the White House that the enslaved Cubans need no longer look to the US for rescue. President Johnson, who had Soviet Ambassa dor Dobrynln in for a discussion of our problems with the Kremlin, is reported to have told Khrush's boy that the US will be pretty annoyed if the Russians go beyond Cuba in their establish ment of Communism. This attitude, plus the Administration view that Cuba is no direct military threat to the US or any of the other Latin American countries; plus the State Department's "policy paper" which regards Castro's forces as defensive, even if they are "by all odds the most powerful" in Latin America; plus the Fulbright "myth" speech deploring our hostility to Communism and urging that we accept the idea that Cuba belongs to Castro, appears to mark the final interment of the Monroe Doctrine. Certainly, the j>ews that Khrushchev is bring ing home the last of his troops -from Cuba, ex? cept for a "military mission" of a few hundred officers and men, indicates that the Kremlin boss is satisfied with his Caribbean adventure and confident that all is under control. The departure of the Commies in uniform will make room for that many more infiltrators, sa boteurs, well -poisoners and assorted experts in anarchy to operate from the Western Hemis phere invasion base. But perhaps Ambassador Dobrynin will advise his boss to keep them home since the n s Government disapproves of Commnnlsm on this side of the world - except In Cuba. The Frarikjin Times ?
