American aid?" Domonice said
He swept his arm about his hut,
where all cooking is done In q pot
hung over an open wood fire. "Will
it give me q dowry for my daugh-
ters?"
Domonice voiced a doubt that is
plaguing many an Italian. For into
their peaceful towns have come the
Communists, offering them many
jobs and a share in the profits in
return for their votes. The Demo-
crats come, too, offering freedom"
and continued American aid. But
is not a job and chance to earn a
dowry for the daughters better than
charity handouts from across the
sea?
Freedom" said Domonice, "what
Is 1t? To live here In Longanc
working on other mems farms all
my life?"
Younger Men Listening.
Longano is high in the mountains
of Southern italy. The easiest route
there is on a donkey. The pigs and
goats wander at will up the steps
leading to the water pump. The
pump and the steps are the center
of the town which consists Of 80
huts struggling on q hill. There
are no stores and but one ruined
church.
Longano has been the same-no
lights, no toilets, no stores, no
progress-since Domonice can re-
member. Kings, dictators and dem
ocrats have not improved its lot.
Now the Communists say fortunes
there can be improved and some of
the younger men are willing to
listen.
They cannot listen in Longano,
however. The conservative tradi-
'tional people there are led by Nicolo,
who. was born in America and
brought back to italy by his parents
when he was IA years old.
A vigorous so years now, and q
little wistful as he remembers Amer
lea, Nicolo said that any Com
munists who tried to come to the
steps to speak would be thrown out
The Democrats held q rally at the
foot of the steps, but the Commu-
nists decided not to bother. Why
should they bother when plenty OF
young men from Longano quietly
slip down the hill in the evening
and walk five miles into nearby
1sernia to hear their promises?
So today there are two elements
in Longano. There Is Nicolo and
the God-fearing women and the
older men who still think democracy
is best. Opposed to them are the
younger men who are openly turn.

pound hogsheads to age for two

When it is properly aged, the
tobacco is sent through a steam
chamber to make the leaf soft
and pliable for stemming - re-
moving the fought, woody stems
and leaving only the part that is
tender and mild. Once again the
leaf is packed in hogsheads for a
final period of conditioning.

tobaccos, and are churned and
tossed like a huge salad. This
blended tobacco then goes through
a battery of cutting machines in
which high speed knives whirl
around like airplane propellers,
too fast for the eye to follow.
Even more amazing is the next
operation, the cigarette making
machine. Tobacco and paper are
inserted at one end and, moments
later, emerge at the other end as
finished cigarettes at the rate OF

Harvesting usual begins about
three months after transplanting.
The trick here is knowing just
when the leaf is ripe for picking.
Leaves are harvested one by one,
by hand, beginning with the low
er, most full grown ones.
Oil Heater Cures Tobacco
Next comes "sticking"- tying
the fresh green leaves on long
rods to be passed into the large
curing barns. To cure each leaf to
a golden brown takes four or five
days. Farmers used to light log
fires for this, but today the pro-
gressive ones use oil heaters.
When all the tobacco is cured,
it is taken down and graded, leaf
by leaf, according to color, tex
ture, ripeness and aroma. This
calls TO ra great deal of skill and
judgment, and is a knack devel-
oped from childhood. The graded
leaves are tied in punches, known
as "hands", and shipped to the
auction warehouse.
A tobacco auction is a ritual all
it's own. Thousands Of pounds Of
leaf r placed in baskets, ar
ranged in long rows. A warehouse
official and an auctioneer move
from basket to basket, followed
by the buyers. The official exam
ines a handful of leaft, makes a
sign indicating a starting price for
teh auctioneer, and the bidding
begins.
Tobacco buyers are so adept at
their trade that, in a glance, they
know from what district a pile of
tobacco came-not only from what
county but very often what farm.
They have inspected the tobacco
growing in the field,w atched it
being unloaded at the warehouse
and again scrutinized it in the
baskets .
Leaf Aged 2 to 2k Years
From the warehouse the tobacco
is trucked to the factory Of the
buyer. A modern cigarette factory
is so huge it takes up as much
| space as a small city. The Chester
field plant at Durham, N. c., for
example, extends three and a half
miles and is virtually a city within

These mechanically seal each

little red pull-tab that makes it
easy for you to open the Chester
field pack. And finally onto the
carton assembly line where the
cigarettes arep acked for ship

Thus, from seed to smoke, the

Lions Club FestivaI Begins
Tonight With Gala Street
Dance; Full Weeks PROGRAM

Tonight is The Night, so far
as the members Of the Roanoke
Rapids Lions Club are concerned
because at $50 the gates will
be flung open on the clubs an
nual Festival.
First on the docket of a full
week of festivity and entertain
ment for all will be a street
dance starting at 1880 on Hamil-
ton Street in front of the Roa-
noke Rapids High School. The
dance will be free to,all, and the
Lions have invited everybody to
attend and enjoy the dancing on
the oatmeal-littered street which
will be blocked off by members
of the police force. Algie Bats,
popular young band leader, will
provide music from the "band
stand" on the steps o fthe school
and a public address system will
see to it that the music will be
heard and enjoyed by ali.
Last year at the first in what
the Lions intend to be an annual
event, some 5000 people turned
out for the street dance and ev-
eryone agreed it was an enter
tanning affair. The Lions say
they hope that even more people
will be on hand for the dance
tonight, which is set to close at
$3.50.
Members of the club have in
vited everyone to come early
and spend some time inside the
Festival grounds" on the north
Roanoke Rapids daily herald., 1948-09-20

field of the high school. There
seven thrill rides have been set
up and will be in operation each
evening during the six-day Fes-
tival. The big feature of the field
is large tent, which has been
erected to exhibit displays by
various business firms in town.
There will be on exhibit many of
the products available to the
people who buy in Roanoke Ra-
pids, many of them produced
right here in the town.
The street dance tonight will
be only the beginning" of the
great array of entertainment
lined up by the Lions for the
next six days. Other things will
include two nights of boxing, a
Talent Night and quiz show, a
Fiddlers' Convention and the big
coronation ball at the Armory
to be concluded with the crown
ing of the Queen of the Festival.
The entire Festival is being
done for charity to enable the
Lions to swell their treasury
with funds which will allow
them to carry out the charitable
work they have been doing in
this area for years. Last year,
for instance, they contributed
more than $2,700 to worthy caus-
es, and they said they are out to
exceed that this year, and hope
to be able to do so If the Festi-
val is as big q success as
planned.
