effort against Edward Best
tn the tourney. Phil Hagwood
of Bunn Is leading scorer
among the boys. He hit for
23 points against Cold Sand.
He had previously scored 20
points during the season
against South Granville and
' Epsom for his high nights.
Except for these two players,
no super star has emerged
in the three nights to play thus
far. In many past classics,
one or more player put on
stellar performances, some
following a season pattern and
others coming almost from
nowhere to take top honors.
The crowds have been good
and the Loulsburg Police De
partment Is doing Its usual
excellent job of handling
traffic.
As is usually the case, the
games this week are expected
to be closer and more ex
citing than those of the first
three nights. Weaker teams
have been eliminated and those
le/t In contention are expected
to battle down to the final
gun for the coveted crown.
Youngsvtlle boys are al
ready assured a berth in the
District playoffs which start
next week at Rocky Mount.
Should Youngsvllle win the
tournament, Bunn will go to
Rocky Mount as Franklin's
"B" team due to their se
cond place finish In the con
ference. Frankltnton and
Loulsburg have a shot at the
tourney crown and should
either win, they would go to
the District instead of Bunn.
Bunn, too is In the running
for the tournament title at
this point.
Both Franklin's "A" team
and "B" team will play In
the Rocky Mount Senior High
School Gym on Saturday, 1
March 2. The *'B" squad will
meet the Johnston cSunty " B"
representative at 7 P.M. and
the "A" team will play John
ston's "A" team at 8:30 P.M.
Warmers in these games will
plaV again on March 7.

hearing; A U$DA Hearing Examiner
conducts the hearing, and a trans
cript' record of the hearing Is made.
Testimony may be presented for or
against any or all of the proposals
by any Interested Individual or or
ganization. Evidence also may be pre -
sented on any modifications they wish
to suggest.
US DA will study testimony from the
hearing sessions. If a program ap
pears Justified on the basis of the
hearing record, a "recommended de
cision" will be Issued.
A period of time If then allowed for
Interested persons to submit written
exceptions to the decision. These ex
ceptions are considered along with the
| hearing record, and USDA then Issues
a "final decision." The final deci
sion Is announced and arrangements
i are made for holding a farmer re
' ferendum. A two-thirds favorable vote
is required to put an order into
! effect.
The proposed order for flue-cured
tobacco would provide a general frame
work within which the movement of
1 tobacco from farm to market could
be regulated each week or In a num
ber of successive weeks.
The order would be administered
by a Tobacco Administrative Com
i mlttee, whose recommendations would
{ ? be .subject to approval of the Secre
| tary of Agriculture. Ten of the com
mittee members would be tobacco pro
ducers, while the other four would
j represent other major segments of
the tobacco Industry.
The proposal for a tobacco market
ing order results from widespread
dissatisfaction among farmers with
the serious congestion that took place
in flue-cured markets during the 1967
selling season. Groups proposing the
order indicate that this congestion
resulted in prices to farmers that
were lower than the supply and de
mand situation Justified. In many
cases, growers waited In line from
five to ten days at the warehouse,
with bad weather sometimes damag
ing their tobacco.
The proposed order would divide
the six-State area Into five prorate
marketing districts, corresponding to
the different types of flue-cured to
bacco produced. Each district would
tie allotted a "marketable quantity"
of tobacco each week or weeks, bas
ed on current marketing and pro
cessing conditions. This quantity would
guide the Administrative Committee
In determining the percentage of the
total season's marketing that Indivi
dual farmers could sell during speci
fied weeks.
The percentage would be the same
for every farmer In a district for a
particular week. Each grower could
market the announced percentage of
his 'season's "base quantity." This
"base" would be 110 percent of the
total poundage allotment as shown on
all his Tobacco Marketing Cards Is
sued under the current "acreage poun
dage" program of US DA' s Agricultural
Stabilization and Conservation Ser
vice (ASCS). The Committee might
announce a different percentage for that
district for the following week, and
each grower would again apply It to his
season's base quantity. This would
go on for as many weeks, or as few,
as the Committee decided were nec
essary to maintain orderly market
ing.
Warehousemen and other handlers
would be informed? through public an
nouncements and as a result of check
ing a Tobacco Order Card held by
each Individual grower? the quantity
of tobacco they could handle for that
grower in a particular week.

that Herman made famous, such as
"Calodonla," "Apple Honey," and
"Sidewalks of Cuba," remain In the
book.
A listener recently approached Her
man during an engagement and asked,
"Wouldn't it be better If you played
some of the old dance music the way
those Glenn Miller and Tommy Dor
sey bands do?" Herman answered,
"They're dead and I anf alive and
as long as I am alive we'll be play
ing new things. Sure, we do some
of the old ones. But I don't want to go
back. I want to go forward. We're not
going to bring back the bands. We're
Just going to bring back this band.
We're selling excitement, not nos
talgia."
George Simon wrote in the New York
Herald-Tribune, "What Is so outstand
ing about this particular Herd? First
of all, It has the almost forgotten sort
of pulsating ensemble sound and drive
that makes you want to cheer. The
arrangements are exciting. The brass
is brilliant. The trumpets blast as one.
They blow high, but they are accurate.
And they get a great blend. The saxes
are loose and easy. And the rhythm
section ? well, If there's one reason
why this Herd stands out among all the
rest, It's because of the rhymlc trio's
fantastic, swinging drive."
"These kids aren't bored," said Her
man. "They want to blow. And they're
all characters and they don't get bored.
They have spirit and enthusiasm and
they're very talented. A new gen
eration? No, Just the same old thing.
Play your parts right and swing."
