INCREASED TOBACCO SUP PLIES, CIGARETTE USE SEEN FOR 1976 - Domestic supplies of tobacco for 1975-76 are up about 5 percent from last year while ci garette use among Americans con tinues to rise, according to a report issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. "The Tobacco Situation" shows that during the first three quarters of 1975 Americans consumed about 457 billion cigarettes. The five major cigarette manu facturers (representing two-thirds of all domestic cigarette sales] increased wholesale prices 4 to 6 percent in mid-November, which adds 1 to l'/i cents per pack. As a final result of the wholesale price increase and gains in margins. 0 - If a veteran is hospitalized for service-connected condition, is his new medical evidence sent to the Veterans Administration for revaluation automatically or does the veteran have to request that this be done? A -- The regional office is notified when a veteran is hospitalized for a service-connected disability and receives a hospital report. The veteran will be informed as to the status of his disability claim. retail prices are expected to rise to 2 or 3 cents per pack by the end of December. The flue-cured tobacco supply for the 1975-76 marketing year is placed at 3.1 billion pounds, up eight percent from last year. A combination of a large carryover and weaker buyer demand held the grower price average to $1 per pound, five cents below the 1974 record high. For next season, flue-cured to dacco producers may look forward to a 15 percent cut in their marketing quota, a 13'/j percent increase in the average support level and a possible slowing in the rat-? ? '"crease ?f production costs. iQT5e7tU-6)1 tobacco supplv for 197S\76 Is set at l'73 billion pounds, three percent above last season Burley auctions through Dec. 11 average $1.05 per pound, be'ow last year when i oTcJ? prices Prevailed. The b"rleV CT0P 's an estimated 639 million pounds, four percent above 1974. For fire-cured, dark air-cured and cigar filler and binder tobacco' supplies remain near the normai supply level defined in quota legislation. As a result, USDA may have to consider increasing or suspending quotas on these kinds of the 1976 crop. Exports of U.S. manufactured tobacco are expected to decline I 10 around 575 million pounds (650 million pounds, farm sales weight). This level of exports will set a record dollar value, but the quantity will be one-eighth lower than 1974. Higher US prices, less favorable dollar conver sion rates for foreign buyers, larger foreign crops, and a slowdown in growth of world cigarette output have contributed to the drop. Imported tobacco currently ac counts for 20 per cent of use for cigarettes and 75 per cent for cigars, with oriental leaf the princi pal import. Cigarette tobacco im ports for factory use this year may gain one-sixth to around 260 million pounds. This quantity in cludes 30 million pounds of scrap and about 36 million pounds of flue-cured and burley leaf NEW GROWER APPLICA TIONS FOR ALLOTMENTS - The final date for filing applica tions for new grower cotton, tobac Feb.'l's, ml8"" a"0,mCT,S is Reapportion wn w.c nl' TRANSFER and sale of COTTON AL LOTMENTS ..

Deputy J.E. Tindell reported the train brakeman, James Crawford, saw Glover lying on the tracks too late to avoid hitting him. The body was dragged about 175 yards by the engine,Tindell said. The accident occurred about 200 yards from the youth's mobile home. According to Tindell, Wayne Fender, Aberdeen, witnessed the accident. Medical examiner R.G.Townsend recommended Glover's body be sent to the state medical examiner at Chapel Hill for an autopsy to determine the cause of death. The victim is survived by his mother and stepfather, Evelyn and Henrv Mull, and one sister Phvlliv Investigations Rapped By Burglarized Citizen A citizen who has been burglarized twice in the past several months complained this week about the investigation of the two break-ins by sheriff's deputies. "My biggest thing is that they have never taken or looked for fingerprints," said Julian Johnson, of Rt. I, Raeford, who recently had more than S4.000 of goods taken from his house. 'There should have been some good prints on the glass where they broke in," he said. "This was the second time in the last few months that my house was broken into, and I'd say the investigating officer didn't spend more than 30 minutes in all at my house. "I know they are overworked, but still they could try," he added. "They think it was the same people who broke in both times. They could check on this, but they don't," he said. "I know they have fingerprints of known local criminals, but they don't even bother to take them," he concluded. Sheriff DAI. Barrington issued the following statement in response to the criticism: "I can't see how I'm expected to work every funeral in Hoke County, provide an escort for every barnj trailer, or mobile home that goes through the county with a state moving permit, provide transportation to Dix Hospital in Raleigh on a weekly basis and their return in five days, transport all felons to Cumberland County on a weekly basis for their 96 hour preliminary hearing, serve all subpoenas for the Clerk of Superior Court, serve all warrants issued by magistrates outside the city limits, serve all warrants coming in from outside counties (which amounts to about 750 - 800 per year), work all ballgames, and provide men for various civic functions of the county. THURSDAY, JANUARY 8. 1976 Read John 11:17-27 "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit." (John 12:24, RSV) Jesus said we must die before we can live. He knew the source of life; He knew the secret for obtaining a more abundant life. Basic to His teachings about life was that the seed must die before it sprouts. When we really understand Jesus' teachings about life, we realize that we must surrender ourselves (die) before we can have that abundant life. The death/life formula is as eternal as the universe and as sure as life itself. 1 would suggest that each Christian fasten a grain of wheat, a kernel of corn, or an apple seed on a card; frame it, and keep it as a reminder of discipleship and resur rection. Sacrifice is the salvation of life. This is the secret of fruitful ness. To be a disciple of Christ we must be willing to die for Him. PRAYER: Dear Lord, we know that "in the midst of life we are in death." Help us to find the life abundant and fruitful that comes when we lite in Your will. In the name of the Lord of life. Amen. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Life in Christ never ends, -copyright-THE UPPER ROOM -Claude A. Frazier Ashevilte, N.C. 'To investigate all criminal affairs within Hoke County, patrol the county day and night, operate a county jail, provide communications for rural fire departments in the county, maintain and operate the radio for the Hoke County Rescue Squad, take all incoming and outgoing wreck calls for the state patrol, be a court official for all courts, subpoena jurors and take care of their needs, patrol all houses of people who are out of town, patrol all stores at least twice a night and take calls at the same time with an entire force of eight people on patrol, four jailers, one secretary and two women in the kitchen. "With this in mind, I will admit that the county is being inadequately patrolled, and 1 will further admit that some investigation is inadequate due to so many occurrences, but while being short on manpower, short on pay, and long on hours, we are doing the best we can under the circumstances."
