Roscoe Dean Lambasts Agriculture Department Jesup — State Senator Roscoe E. Dean Jr., Chairman of the Senate Committee on Tobacco, this week lambasted the Agricul ture Department and Congress over failure of both to see that the farmer was adequately ad vised on the acreage-poundage controls on tobacco. Terming action of the USDA and Congress as “Federal bung ling,” Senator Dean said farmers have not been given “the full story.” He said the USDA had the state and county Agricultural and Stabilization offices mail notices to farmers indicating the tobacco acreage but “telling nothing about the poundage factors.” Dean attacked the administra tion in an interview here at which he urged farmers “to op pose the acreage-poundage con trols with every effort they can muster.” . At the same time, the Jesup legislator called for removal of the three-cents per pack tax placed on cigarettes by the 1964 Georgia Legislature. Dean pointed out that the recent acreage-poundage controls placed by Congress and signed by the President would have to be ap proved by two-thirds of eligible voters in a referendum. “Farmers who * support the measure will be voting to put themselves out of business. Dean said. He called attention to the fact that endorsement of the newly created controls also would approve the 19.5 per cent acreage reduction on the 1965 allotment. The Jesup senator called on growers in his eight-county dis trict and throughout Georgia to join the Georgia Tobacco Commo dity Commission and other groups to oppose the new controls.

Dean said “Secretary of Agri culture Freeman and his Federal cohorts are out to ruin flue-cured tobacco farmers. Their unreason able controls are further ex amples of bureaucratic boondog gling by irresponsible men who do not understand the tobacco situation.” The Sixth District Senator call ed acreage-poundage controls an effort by the administration to control marketing and “can only result in additional surpluses.” Dean pointed out that some growers have been led to believe acreage-poundage controls would restore some of the 19.5 per cent acreage cut. “But this is a de lusion that the bureaucrats are attempting in an effort to deceive persons into endorsing the new measure,” Dean declared. In calling for the removal of the three-cents per pack tax on cigarettes. Dean pointed to re cent reports of cigarette sales lagging in Georgia. “Loss of sales of cigarettes will impose additional hardships on tobacco growers and the tax re moval could help correct a bad situation,” Dean pointed out. Dean, who now leads the Geor gia Senate Committee on Tobac co, said his committee will try to visit most of the tobacco mar kets in the state during the 1965 auction season. “We will be in every warehouse in Georgia if possible during the sales periods to listen to problems and be a vailable for any service we might render the grower,” Dean said.

Standard Oil Advertising To Accent Youth LOUISVILLE, KY. — A major advertising campaign, with the accent on youth, gets underway in hometown news papers the week of May 10, by Standard Oil Company of Kentucky, major petroleum marketer in the Southeast, it was announced this week by Ralph Wooten, advertising manager. The advertising campaign, following the pattern of the past concentrates in local news papers at the grass roots level and recognizes the importance of the growing percentage of motorists in the 18-39 age bracket. “We decided to slant our 1965 gasoline advertising di rectly at this .market, and a dopted as its theme "Young Ho! Go Chevron . . . Put that Young Ho spirit in your car!” said Wooton. “We also feel that with the advent of affluence and securi ty, continuance of youth — or even just the illusion of youth — is one of the greatest de sires of people in all age brac kets. With the great volume of advertising to which people are exposed today, we believe they would prefer to be amus ed by whimsy, rather than technically informed through factual data or scientific ar gument.” Wooton added, “It’s not just a theme either, really. Our new Chevron gasolines are modern, lively and spirited and do give engines a youthful zest.” The campaign was prepared and is being placed by Batten, Barton, Durstine & Osborn, Inc., in association with Bur ton E. Wyatt & Company, both of Atlanta. Standard of Kentucky last year was the recipient of the Georgia Press Association’s award for “outstanding ach ievement” newspaper advertis ing. THE IMMORTAL HOT DOG The hot dog has long been an American institution, and in all likelihood it is destined for im mortality. It is inextricably re lated to fun — whether that fun consists of sports, picnics, carni vals, fairs, or a still newer A merican institution, the backyard barbecue. The hot dog’s history is full of nostalgia. According to some ac counts, it made its first appear ance in 1871 at a Coney Island refreshment center and was an immediate hit. It solidified its popular standing at the Chicago Columbia Exposition in 1893 where Little Egypt was the head liner. Then came 1904 and the St. Louis Exposition — and the ever lasting marriage of the wiener and the elongated bun. This hap pened after a peddler, finding that the “red hots” were too hot to handle, provided his customers with white gloves. But profits fast disappeared with the gloves, so he hit on the idea of a bun to fit the meat. The hot dog was off and run ning. It soon became a familiar sight at carnivals, exhibitions and circuses throughout the Midwest. Later it formed its loving associ ation with baseball —a game which seems to demand that wo grasp a hot dog in one hand and something cool and bubbly to drink in the other.
