The publicity department of the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco
Company sends out a -photograph of U. S. Senator Clyde
R. Hoey receiving a gift of a carton of Cavalier cigarettes,
the new brand now being put on the market by Reynolds.
The presentation is being made by a smiling man dressed
in fancy costume to resemble the figure of the Cavalier on
the package. , , , ,
The caption sent along with the photograph . says.
“Senator. Hoey ‘meets,’ in the nation’s capital, a distinctive
uroduct of North Carolina. 1 ’
What the Reynolds publicity man did not say was that,
though Senator Hoey received the cigarettes, he would not
use them. For, Senator Hoey does not smoke. No doubt
he gave the Cavaliers to members of his office staff; maybe
he gave some of them' to fellow Senators.
So far as I know, nothing has been sent out by the Rey
nolds publicity department about a gift of Cavaliers to Mr.
Hoey’s colleague, U. S. Senator Frank P. Graham. But
surely he must have got a carton too- It would be a most
flagrant display of favoritism for one Senator from the
State to get a gift of Cavaliers and the other not. If I find
out this was the case, I am going to send to Chairman of
the Board James A. Gray a protest against the Senator from
Chapel Hill’s being slighted.
If Senator Graham did get a carton of Cavaliers, he,
like Senator Hoey, passed them bn to somebody else', for
he also does not smoke.
I have not inquired into the subject and cannot speak
from knowledge, but I’ll bet there is not another State in
the Union both of whose Senators are non-smokers, and
these two non-smoking Senators represent the State which
leads all others in both tobacco growing and tobacco manu
facturing!
What a frightful blow it would be to the State’s whole
financial structure if other people did not give any more
support to North Carolina’s chief branch of agriculture
and chief industry than our two Senators do! And there
come to mind two other prominent North Carolinians, citi
zens of Chapel Hill, who do not smoke: Acting President
of the University William D. Carmichael, Jr., and Chair
man of the Trustees’ Building Committee Collier Cobb Jr.
(You can add to the roll of non-smoking North Caro
linians Attorney General Harry McMullan and myself; but
we used up a lot of tobacco before we quit smoking several
. years ago and so can claim that we have done our share
as supporters of North Carolina’s agriculture and industry.)
