From the longer renge standpoint, it should be evident to all that the abandonment of the present acreage control and pnce support system would eliminate almost any chance of a better production control and price support program m the future. The only hope in achieving such j

North Carolina is by far the largest producer-] of flue-cured tobacco. The voice of its farmers should be loudest in the forthcoming referendum. At the same time, it must be recognized that in some other areasparticularly in Georgiathere

Glowing r Of Possibilities

As the largest flue-cured tobacco producing county in the nation, Pitt and its people have a greater stake in the economic future of tobacco farming than other counties. A sound and realistic production control and price supp^ program is essential to assuring that the bottom will not drop out of the tobacco economy. The only way such a goal can be realized is through support of the present program in the referendum on December

It is good, after years of waiting, to see the new Gardner Fire substation placed in use.

Firemen and equipment were moved into the building Monday and the new municipal facility is ready to protect life and property in the vast East Greenville area.

During 1963. however value of minerals production In North Carolina slumped by nearly eight million dollars, down to |41 million. And this vras less than half the value of phosphate rock mining alone in Florida.

DECLINE The 1963 slump resulted largely because of decline In value for sand and gravel. stone products, tungsten and copper ores.

Also, production of sheet mica centered in the Spruce Pine area ceased almost entirely when the federal mica subsidy program was ended. Tungsten mining operations ceased almost entirely in Vance County. The states only copper mine, at Ore Knob in Ashe County, was shut down.

Less feldspar was produced In 1962 and 1963. There was good, stable demand for clay, talc, pyrophyllite. voll vine, spodumene, quartz and ashes-tos.

By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (AP) Somebody mention unity?

There are about a dozen dictionary definitions of unity, and this may explain the lack of it among Republicans who want their defeated party to unite.

Dean Burch says he wants unity although over the weekend some Republican governors said they want him fired as chairman of the Republican National Committee, a job he got through Sen. Barry Goldwater.

The governors in Denver issued a statement calling for party unity and, among other things, suggesting the national committee take a good look at its leadership.

Smne of them said this wasnt aimed at Burch; some said it definitely was. Particularly Govs. George Romney of Michigan. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York and William W. Scranton of Pennsylvania said

JAMEb

MAKLOW

they want Burch out.

Burch, whether or not he was a good chairman, was a terrible prophet for Ifc-tion night, Nov. 3, with the roof faUing in on Goldw^er. he cheerfully predicted; This picture Is going to brighten considerably as the sun moves toward the West. ^

The final news from the West was even worse, Goldwater lost every Western state except his own Arizona.

But Monday. In a statement which some interiMTted as a move to soothe his critics and keep his Job, Burch called for unity. .

"It now remains for all w us, governors, senators, congressmen, state chairmen, national committee members and workrs. to demonstrate that the Republican party seeks strength through unity - not weakness and tven Impotenoa through needlea quarrel I n g and" disunity.

At the same time his right-hand man - John Grenier, executive director of the national committee quit with a statement which could hardly be considered a unifier or a pacifier.

Grenier, a fervent Goldwa-terite, bad been under crlU-

cism, too. His sudden departure, so soon after the governors statement, could be considered an effort to cool off attacks on Burch and the committee.

But Grenier didnt seem obsessed by unity when he called in newsmen to announce he was leaving.

He said he will defend Bii'ch and blamed a big part of Goldwaters defeat on so-called Republican: Romn e y. Rockefeller and Scranton. He said he was leaving to resume his law practice in Alabama.

The urge toward unity among Republicans is not new although it has taken strange turns. It began right after the election.

Richard M. Nixon, former vice president who campaigned for Goldwater, said the party needs unifiers, not dividers, and then attacked Rockefeller, who didnt campaign for Goldwater. as one of the principal dividers. He called Rockefeller, a "Spoilsport and Rockefeller called him "peevish. About the same time former President Dwight D. Eisenhower was saying he thought Nixon would play a great role in unifying the party. But Robert E. Smylie, Republican governor of Idaho, was just then calling for Burchs ouster.

Goldwater after the election suggested It might be a good Idea to realign the Democratic and Republican parties into "two new teams under "liberal and "conservative banners.

But Henry Oteot Lodge, who had been a senator and ambassador to South Viet Nam. thought this was such a bad Idea he called It "toUUy abhorrent to the American two-party system.

While Goldwater said he In-tend.s to retain the party leadership, he also said the real source of the leadership Is In Sen. Everett M. Dlrksen of Illinois, Republican Senate Leader and Indianas Charles A. Halleck. Republican House leader.

But Dirksen apparently doe.snt want to get Into any fights. He said- I- Intend to stand still. I Intend to do a lot of thinking and get a new perspective.

(Rocky Mount Telegram)

Sen. Margaret Chase Smith has pointed to one of the most serious ailments of American society today in declaring that our, national psychology glorifies the corner-cutter, the an-gle-player and the goof-off while down - grading the "square.

By the term "square Sen. Smith means people wi t h strong character who acknowledge their responsibility to fellow human beings and who dedicate themselves to the welfare of humanity. She condemns the frightening devel-opment of an "I dont want to become involved attlt u d e across the land in the face of the most shocking crimes beating, stabbings and daylight rapes.

Many years ago before the rise of the beatnik philosophy _ the word "square was one of the most honored and respected words in our vocabulary. A "square" deal was an honest deal. A "square meal was a good and fu 11 meal. When you were financially "square you had paid all your debts.

But what is a square today? He is the fellow who never learned to get away with It, the one who still volunteers when he doesnt have to who tries to do better than others, whose heart beats faster when the band plays the Star Spangled Banner and the flag unfurls.

Men of character, formerly respected and acclaimed for their Integrity, honor and

sense of responsibility, now are considered characters or "squares or "oddballs all abnormal. The noimal In todays vocabulary are those who avoid responsibility, boast of their jail records, disrupt order, disobey their parents, their teachers and police officials, adults who seek ways to make the fast buck, cheat on their expense accounts, rig their Income tax returns and in general condone immorality.

One of Americas greatest needs today is for more people who are square and who have character and who are willing to help their fel 1 o w men. This cult of "non-lnvolve-ment when fellow citizens are in trouble has been mentioned before by The Telegram. The basis for this cult Is selfishness, a lack of civic duty.

And we can hardly expect our children to be much better when they emulate their parents, when the pattern is set by the adults of the country. Parents pay Up service to the church, dump their parental responsibilities on t h e public schools and concentrate on how to keep up with the Joneses who have their own problems of status.

The time has come for the "square American to reassert his place In society. And the time has come for t h e "whats-ln-it-for-me guy to go back into the woodwork. In spite of the socialisUc brainwashing were being subjected to. the world does Bot owe us a Uvlng.

Syndicate, Inc. -The effects of the liberal RepubUcans tactics in tiring to blitz Dean Burch out of his job as head of the partys Na-tional Committee would seem to be an object lesson in how not to go about getting a proud and able man to step down.

What the Uberals have done Is to demand a symbolic sao riflce. But it so happens that It is Barry Goldwater. not Dean Burch, who has been the symbol of Republican con^ vatlvism. In suggesting that Burch should allow hlmsel to be made an ersatz, or substitute, victim for the real symbol. the Uberals have struck at a lot of things that any self* respecting human being woulfl be bound to defend.

One: they have challenged a decent mans sense of loyalty to the person who gavt him his job. Two: the Ubra} have, in effect, denied Burch s competence, and what man ot mettle could let teon fOT away with that? Three; tlm liberals have outraged Burchw sense of logic by mislntewt* ing the nature OT RepoWicM opportunities during .the wrt, four or eight ytaxs. (It ^ craUsm sufflcea to terrifying problemt that^ra ;; surely continue to aw tnotw wUl be no opportunity'for a big Republican comeback anyway. . on the oteer hand Great Society liberalism fsfli to keep the flag of peace aw prosperity flying, the RW> licans had darned wea bettw have some plausible sBeroR' ttves ready.) ^

In attacking Dean Burch i feelings OT loyslte and comp^. tence and In questioning bte sense of logic, the Uberali have only succeeded to firming up the mans resOTuoon to see his Job through. HeJi extraordinarily lucid in his defense of hiraseH. You do not begin to recreate harmony, he says, by throwing a wet ra in the face of an unsuccessful candidate on the day after he lost the election. You do not begin to widen a partys appeal by excluding the people who have fought and bled through an exhauslng campaign. You do not bud a reputation for loyalty by sudden- ly rewarding a score of newly-hatched organizations the Ripon Society the promoters of a new monthly magazine to be called "Project 68. the Walter S. Mack National . Committee of^ Republicans and ^ Independents for Johnson, the xf Council of Republican Organ-. Izations in New York CJlty that had' helped' esbotage a man who, In the days when liberals controlled the Party, had been a great money-ralser for an Eisenhower and a Nixon.

Dean Burch would seem to be in a good position at this moment because the meat axe tactics of Governor Rob-ernor Robert E. Smylie of Idaho have created the impression that certain governors are more interested in pursuing a vendetta than they are In longterm revitalization of the party.

The national party business ' of a governor.for 1966 Is, alter all. to help send Republicans to Congress. R to tnie that, to do this, they need the help of a lively national c(n)nittee. ^ But even before the governors could come up with snythlng more constructive than a demand for a symbolic Wood sacrifice. Burch had already posed some long-term plans for an effective national orgsa-ization.

He has Ideas about flnaao-Ing the party through small contributions collected weU in advance of election year necessity. He has Ideas about, constituting task forces to **de^ fine problems. on the theory that a problem well-defined Is already half - solved. He wants to put the Republican^ Party on what he calls a CX)PE basis referring to the AFL-CIO Committee on Political Education OT (Continued oft pagt I)

What's In A Name? Quite A Lot

By ELMER ROESSNER Outside (rf raising money and getting theater tickets for the boss's wife, one of the toughest problems facing American business is the selection of a name for a new product.

An Ul-chosen name can bring suits for trademark infringement or unfair competition or, perhaps worse. It can fail to create sales. In fact, a name might actually inhibit purchases.

The pharmaceutical industry. with its vast number of new compounds each year, is especially troubled by the need of new names. Sometimes a score or more of names have been proposed for a new product. only to fkid that they are identical with names alieady trademarked or so similar that they competed unfairly with existing product*. The number of pharmaceutical names run Into the hundreds of thousands and there are relatively so few left that the trademarkers are now resorting to numbers. DU FONTS TROUBLES

The trouble also extends to such companies as Du Pait. which is constantly producing new fiber and chemical products, as well as some with medical properties.

In its emylayees magaalns

Better Living. the company kids Itself a bit about the recurring problem. It presents a game in which a name is sought for a new product. One of the earlier suggestions Is the company presidents name spelled backwards (that would be Dnalepoc) but the player only loses a few spaces. Suggestions finally narrow down to Bah-zoom. Zah-boom and Zoom-bah, but If all three names are already registered. the player goes back to Start.

However, tec Patent Office finally approves Bah-Zoom but after millions are spent promoting the product, Joe Bahzoom, a fish dealer, shows up and threatens suit for use of his name. But when the player gets home safe, he wins millicms of dollars.

N<rr ALL A JOKE The game parallels Du Fonts own experience. Several years ago Du Pont fed various c<n-binations of vowels and consonants Into a computer, pushed a button, and out came 120,000 names, most signifying nothing. V "--- ^ *

When Du Pont developed its \ However, although Du. Pont

proposed names got these re-Rctirais: it suggested flat beer, Tarzan, a stuffed Teddy bear, the Arabian nights, a funeral parlor, the center of a golf ball, Zsa 2toa Gabor. What was the word? Du Pont isnt saying. /

Du Pont had a similar problem in 1950 when, after developing a new wonder fiber, it used the word Amilar. No other company had registered that as a trademark, and everything looked rosy until a Mr. Amilar. who had been selling ftehnets under his name for years, rose to protest. DAY-CRON OR DAK-RON Du Pont then hit upon Dacron and appears to be happy with it.

cron DAK-roo or Duh-KRON . and. even after learning how to pronounce it, many cant spell It. Of course, a shopper can always ask for polyester fiber, but the salesgirl wont know what shes talking about.

Du Pont should have called It Kodak. except for the fact that name had already been preempted by Eastman. Many advertising men say that it is the greatest man-made name in the world, even superior to Coca-C:(da. But some officials at Eastman have expressed doubts about it in the past. B it had been Kadak instead, they point out, they could have gotten added mileage out of It by N^elllng it backward.
