Warren Men Seek Aid For Industries Warren County needs and wants Industry .to help keep Its youth from going to other areas to work, two Industrial? developers from Warren told the staff of the Division of Commerce and Industry of the Department of Conservation and Development In Raleigh Monday. In stressing the need for more job opportunities, especially for younger male workers, BUI Mlnette. ofWar-_ renton, executive director of the Warren County Industrial Development Commission, pointed to what he termed "a distressing drop" In pop ulation of the county. From 1950 to the present, he said, Warren's population dropped from about 29,000 to where it Is now estimated to be below 18,000. "We want to halt this downward trend," Mlnette declared.

Tobacco Men Protest Change In System Of Grading At South Hill south Hill, Va. ?A directive handed down by the Secre tary of Agriculture was vigo rously lambasted here Sat urday afternoon by tobacco mcn. They urged every in dividual and organization to send letters and petitions to the Secretary of Agriculture asking that the grading service remain Intact. Approximately 350 men, connected in some way with the tobacco Industry, were on hand from every tobacco growing county In Southslde Virginia and Northern North Carolina. The group was 100 percent against the action taken by secretary Freeman, which will cut. tobacco graders and inspectors employment time in half. As a result of the new directive, a majority of the men in the grading ser vice are expected to quit the service when the directive be comes effective July 1, 1966. It was reported that the fed eral government planned to hire 60 new men and give them four weeks training be fore the new tobacco season opens. F. S. Royster of North Car olina, executive secretary of the Bright Belt Warehouse As sociation, told the group that "what brings us here today is the most ridiculous thing I've known to heppen In the tobac co Industry." He added that warehousemen are "100 per cent opposed" to what Is be ing done. "I commend the efforts of the grading service," Royster said, "they have done an out standing job for the tobacco Industry." Cecil Faulkner, secretary treasurer of Tobacco Inspec tors Association, was much more critical of the directive, remarking that 426 Inspectors would be affected. He told the group that this was the "first step of the antl tobacco people In Washington In destroying the tobacco pro gram." Faulkner asked the to baccomen "can you Imagine men with only four weeks of training going on the floor and grading your tobacco?" Then he seemed to answer his own question by saying "I don't think tobacco can be properly graded by men with four weeks experience." He told the tobacco growers that their take home pay would be affected by the new direc tive also. He explained Inex perienced graders would be more prone to give "lower grades" and could always cover up an error with a low grade. "I feel experienced men give higher grades." Faulkner said a poll among the graders showed 75 per cent were no longer Interested un der the new directive. Inclos ing he urged everyone to con tact their senators and con gressmen and "get them to tak a stand." It was mentioned that the new directive may be part of an economy move by the gov ernment, but S. T, Moore of South Hill, chairman of the tobacco committee of the Vir ginia Farm Bureau, said "I am in favor of economy In government but not If It means (See TOBACCO, page 3) \l I.IXIARY TO MEET The American Leglo.'
