' Dear Sir:
Charles R. Long 66, one sf the
familier figures of Person Coun
ty, who passed away in a Rox- j
boro hospital on September 10,
was injured in an accident when
he was just a little boy, and
went through life greatly handi
capped with a deformed body—
but he had a keen intellect, a
.remarkable memory, an unusual
knowledge of music, and was
blessed iwith a great fund of in
formation. It was very inspiring
to hear him perform on the
guitar. Being able to give instruc
tioss inr guitar music, he always
played beautifully by note.
For a time he lived in. the
home of my father and mother,
he and my mother being first
cousins. After returning to his
native county of Person, he vis
ited us annually up until the
last few years. His visits were
always looked forward to with
pleasure. He and my mother,
who was Julia Anne Clayton,
Would sit for hours and talk very
interestingly about the Longs,
Claytons, Satterfields, Mundays,
Cozarts, Dillihays, Slaughters,
and others of their native county.
It will not seem the same now
at our annual reunions since my
mother and “Cousin Charlie” will
not be there. My mother told
cousin Sam Clayton, of Idaho,
-when they separated for the last
titae a short time before her
translation —“When you get to
heaven I’ll be there.” So when
we get to heaven we shall ex
ect “Cousin Charlie” and my
mother’to both be there.

United States
Sacrifice Day
In Los Angeles after he hall
given his blood—
They found out he was a Marine
furloughed back from war.
“I thought I was dead but
plasma saved me,” he said,
“And I came in to pay back the
blood I received.”
And what have you and I been
through for the war?
Worked a little harder? Given
hours and effort?
The pleats off our pants? Extra
butter? Sterne driving?
Tin cans, some sugar and junk—
loaned some money?
The slender artist —she lost her
fiance the day his wings
In the RCAF were to be pinned
on his, breast.
And then enroute from camp to
that funeral
Her younger brother crashed and
died —only man in the family.
And what have YOU suffered or
sacrificed?
Prompt laundry service, a juicy
steak, can openers,
A few lost leisure hours in some
war iwork,
Some frills on food and maybe
some drinks.
His dad was a big shot and he
could have stayed home
Holding down an office job—
some sinecure—
But he fought, for he wanted to
play his full part.
He’s home now having left
both legs in a foreign desert.
You aren’t asked to lose your
legs,
Or be mortally wounded and
then give blood, *
You aren’t asked to puff out
your life i» a crash —
You’re asked to' sacrifice some
things around you
So you can lend more money—
not give it —lend it!

TOBACCO OUTPUT
MAY BE BOOSTED
AAA Reported Consider
ing 20 Per Cent Acreage
Increase Next Year.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.
The Agricultural Administration
of the Department of Agricul
ture is considering the possibility
in increasing allotments next
year on the planting of all types
of tobacco by 20 per cent, it was
reported yesterday.
Officials in the department re
fused to comment on the report,
but admitted that it was being
given consideration and that
there was a need for considera
bly more tobacco than was now
being produced.
AAA officials have invited
members of Congress from the
tobacco belt to comment on the
tentative proposal which would
allow all tobacco farmers next
year to increase their acreage of
the weed by one-fifth.
Officials are pointing out that
the domestic arid foreign de
mands for tobacco are greater
than the market now can sup
ply andl that because of this
year’s short crop the supply will
become increasingly tight.
The bulk of the foreign de
mand for tobacco is byway of
lend-lease which is disposing of
vast quantities of leaf held by
the Commbdity Credit Corpora
tion.
One AAA official said the
goals committee had not -yet
made any final decisions re
garding the proposed allotment
increase, but that the matter
would continue tee have the at
tention of those officials ir. the
weeks to come.
