Discount
Program Is
Continued
The flue-cured tobacco dis
count variety program will be
continued in effect for the
1964 crop. T. E. Watson, Of
fice Manager for the Agricul
tural Stabilization and Con
servation County Committee,
reminded tobacco growers this
week.
Under this program, price
supports for discount varieties
arc one-half the support rates
of comparable grades of ac
ceptable varieties. The dis
count varieties include Coker
139, Coker 140, Coker 316.
Reams_ 64 and Dixie Bright
244. Any mixture or strain
of these seed varieties, or any
breeding line of flue-cured
varieties, including 187 Gol
den Wilt, also designated as
No Name, XYZ, Mortgage
I.ifter, Super XYZ, having the
reality and chemical charas
teristics of the five varieties
will be designated as discount
varieties.
Watson urged every grower
t<> obtain his tobacco seed
from reliable sources. By do
ing this, he said, he will be
protected against the planting
of mixed or inferior seed. "As
in past years tobacco will be
checked while it is growing
in the field. Any tobacco
having growth characteristics
and chemical properties simi
lar to discount variety will be
supported at one-half the sup
port rate for acceptable varie
ties. So it is most important
that each farmer be sure of
the variety of tobacco he
plants."

Norlina Man Works To
Brighten Christmas
When Norlina Postmaster
Rill Dolbridge began using a
North Pole cancellation stamp
on children's letters to Santa
seven years ago, he had little
irfn.i that he was about to be
come a full-fledged public ro
tations man for St. Nick. .
Dclbridge's decision in 1867
to put a touch of authenticity
on the youngsters' letters
ouickly mushroomed into a
chore that kept him working
two weeks before Christmas.
NHf only did he provide each
letter with a North Pole post
mark, but ho took tim* to
drrft #n individual reply.
Dtiri&f the next three
CluLilnias soaaona DtlbtMge
answered between 400 and
600 letters annually. Before
1081. when, a deluge of
Christmas mail forced him to
crnccl his project, letteft
from children in a host of
states wore being received at
tho Norlina poet office Let
ten written to Santa, in
?
pouring in from tb? children
of scrvioemen stationed over
, tv- _? 3
up hisr job of making Christ
mas a happier occasion for
hundreds of children. During
the 1961 Christmas season he
hired a professional Santa
Claus to listen to the wishes
of scores of children who
flocked to the Norlina post
office
That year Delbridge took
colored pictures of each child
who visited Santa, and later
n?vc the pictures to the chil
dren. The cost ran well
above $100 and last year Del
bridge substituted the colored
pictures with toys.
He bought 24 doten toys
last Christmas, but that was
far the
youngsters who attended Dcl
brjdge's Christmas party in
the postoffice.
Earlier this week, Delbridge
staged another one of his an
nual Yuirtide postoffice par
tie*. The postoffice lobby
