THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1943 Person’s Part In A Blood In Their Eyes Stand It is not without significance that this particular “Tobacco Edition” of the Person County Times, which the editor is more than pleased to present as a continuing evidence of community good faith, is also in a parti cular sense a “Third War Loan” edition. To bacco, in Person County and Roxboro, has long been a basic factor in finance and it is from the sale of this year’s crop of the Weed that many citizens will get cash that can be directed into Third War Loan channels. The parallel goes even deeper. Person growers have this year, together with their neighbors, put up a fight, both in their fields and in Washington and Raleigh. It has been a different kind of fighting from the con flicts in which their soldier sons and broth ers have been and are engaged in, but it has, nevertheless, been a struggle, both with the elements and with men. And it should be a point of pride that in the Monday tobacco battle in Raleigh, where it was decided that the Old Belt opening date of Monday, Sep tember 20, will remain in force, two of the “Blood in Their Eyes” leaders who swung the decision were Person men, Claude T. Hall, of the State Agriculture Board, and Lieut. Gov. R. L. Harris. 1 Columnist Lynn Nisbet, of Raleigh, with a bow toward E. D. Matthews, of Winston- Salem, president of the Old Belt Warehouse association, puts it this way in describing Sell Your Tobacco In ROXBOROFOR The High Dollar «» SHOP NOW WHILE OUR STOCK OF MERCHAHDISE IS COMPLETE YOUR DOLLAR GOES FARTHER AT ROSES Buy All The War Bonds You Can ROSE’S 5-10-25 c STORE Use Our Lay Away Plan For Christmas the activities and influence of Person’s Har ris and Hall: “Lt. Gov. R. L. Harris, qualifying as an unbiased witness by stating he grew no to bacco, had no connection with any ware house and didn’t own any stock in a tobacco company, appealed to the committee not to change the rules near the end of the game, but to abide by its own fixed dates'. “Claude T. Hall, member of the State Board of Agriculture, added his appeal based on chance of spoilage if the leaf was not sold soon, and Harry Caldwell, master of the State Grange and State Farm Labor Commissioner, pointed out that later open ing would bring the markets in more direct conflict with food crop harvesting and grain seeding. “The committee was used to hearing the pleas about southern and eastern markets getting all the advantages and were not much moved by them. Neither did appeals from some larger South Carolina markets, not to disturb their buyer staffs have much weight. The imminent danger of spoilage, the conflict with food producing farm labor and the fact that Old Belt markets and towns had completed most pre-opening ad vertising did have weight.” It appears at this writing that Harris’ ap peal to Byrnes with regard to that other problem, the forty-one cent ceiling has not produced the desired results but it is on re cord that the appeal of nearly two weeks ago was made and it is likewise a source of Person satisfaction that Harris spoke his mind to the one person who could, if he would, persuade Hutson to reverse tfte OPA decision. The' Hutson silence remains a source of dissatisfaction, but Person grow ers, having been well represented by native sons in their two major end of the summer tobacco battles, are now ready to press for ward that much harder to the realities of the annual selling season and to the equal realities of all-out support of the Third War Loan, one way in which the now roaring bat tle against the Axis can be helped onward to a victorious end. In the light of the genuine “Blood in Their Eyes” stand being called for from our boys in the Axi3 conflict, any overdue at home anxiety about lightweight tobacco, crowded and inadequately staffed markets and too low ceiling prices, assume proportionate places as subdued reflections from the great er struggle. Within the limits imposed on all Old Belt markets, Roxboro is ready to do business and it is the hope of the Times that not a small measure of the resulting cash secured will go by one route or another into the war effort. That is our business today, and tobacco is but a means to an end. PERSON COUNTY TIMES ROXBORO. N. C.
