The explanation, so the story goes, is that some uncanny sixth sense has assured the turtles that our beaches will not be swept by hur ricanes and violent storms this year, and there is no need for the tin-tie 16 seek the portect>on of the high sand dunes.

According to the Tax Collector, Notices have been mailed to all Duplin County merchants whose businesses come under this Act. He asks that all who have received these notices respond promptly with their payments, since the law re quires a ten per cent penalty for delinquent purchase of licenses, and this penalty increases by ten per cen with each additional month the license tax remains unpaid.
