Drought Aid Rules
Blasted by Texans
BY the Associated Press

COLLEGE STATION, Tex,
July 22.-TexaS rought-pinched
farmers and ranchers walled yes
terday that new Federal regula-
tions on relief feedstuffs have
piled disaster on disaster"
The State Drought Relief
Committee named by Secretary
of Agriculture Benson was
swamped with protests from To-
cal committees. It passed the
complaint along to Washington.
The farmers and ranchers
complained that the new direc-
tive in effect would require them
to take pauper's oaths before
they could qualify for cheap
feedstuffs provided under the
Federal program.
What they were complaining
about was a paragraph saying
that to be eligible, farmers and
rancherS must not have "the A.
nancial ability to remain in
business" They said this could
only mean they were unable to
raise any money at the bank or
from other lending agencies, in
Guiding Government agencies.
1T changes the whole concept
of the drought aid program,
said Claude McCan of Victoria.

was a specialist in his product
alone" Mr.. Raymond points out.
Nov, tobacco is sold along with
a thousand other items, and
clerks have to be educated"
Part of that education brought
out yesterday was that:
A cigar must be kept fresh.
This can be done by many
methods, ranging from a wet
brick in the cigar case to a mod
ern electric humidifier. Some
cigars are now preserved with
three cellophane wrappers.
The color of the cigar has lit
tie to do with its strength. How
ever, cigars are being made
lighter because the public be-
lieves this means a milder smoke.
The cigarillo "a miniature
cigar) is becoming more and
more popular. 1t is the right size
for a short smoke when there
isn't time for a full length cigar.
Never give customer a single
cigar. Offer him the box. It is
a traditional courtesy.
The cigar smoker is essentially
a leisurely person. If he is treated
with special courtesy he will walk
blocks out of his way for his
favorite cheroot and some advice
on how to smoke it.

sent to the Senate a bill
changing the legal name of the
drug. The Food and Drug ADJ
ministration gave two reasons
for the proposed switch:
1. The Food. Drug and Co.'S
metic Act requires drugs to be
designated by names that are de-
scriptive of their chemical struc-
ture instead of fanciful trade
names.
2. The Lederle Laboratories of
Pearl River, N. Y, sole producers
of aureomycin, want to use the
old label as a trade name.
interchangeable, the pro-
ducers decided, was the most apt
description of the drug. It's atoms
contain chlorine-hence the first
syllable. The other syllables
come from the fact that the
atoms of aureomycin have a
four ring cycle structure-the

The cigar industry yesterday
held a clinic for the tobaccon-
lists to help regain the vanishing
stogie smoker.
The 3O-year downward trend
in cigar sales leveled off last
year. Now the Cigar Institute of
America is aiming to build back
the popularity of it's product.
Yesterday, the institute con-
centrated part of its program in
Washington. It held a clinic for
more than 100 clerks from rs
Peoples Drug Stores at the
Statler Hotel.

industry is concentrating on
consumer advertising, practical
public relations and trade rela-
tionS.
The audience heard talks on
the manufacture of cigars.

Using and the growing cigar
industry. 1t saw a movie on the
growing of cigar tobacco.
Pace of Life Changes.
Organized in 1910 to do some
thing about the downward trend.
the institute has accomplished
much. 1t recognized that the
fapper period, nationwide pub
licity and the departure from
the leisurely way of life had
switched Americans from cigars
to cigarettes.
LAS each old person died, we
lost a cigar smoker" Eugene L.
Raymond, executive director of
the institute, explained. I'VE had
to concentrate on getting young
people to smoke cigars"
The institute has Waged an
extensive advertising campaign
for the industry. 1t has con-
centrated on influencing maya
zines, newspapers and movies to
abandon the cigar as a symbol
of the roughneck.

cigar out of the williams mouth
and put it between the teeth of
the hero" Mr.. Raymond says.
