HUNTERS WHO GO afield for deer or other game should bear in mind that it is a violation of the law to hunt without a license. Licenses In Beaufort can be bought amon;? other places at Carteret Hardware Co. Game Warden Leon Thomas is on his joh and lie advises hunters to buy licenses or run the risk of being arrested. Several arrests this year for violating the licenses law have resulted in convictions on each occa sion, and it is a darn sight cheaper for a county or state resident to pay for a license than to pay a fine rang ing from $5 to $12 imposed by a magistrate.

But many people do not drink beer at all, so the figures mean that some of the State's citizens got more than their per capita share. But the fig ures also prove that the beer indus try in North Carolina, or the con sumption of beer is no small item. THE ELECTRIC DEISEL vessel, City of Salisbury, is 198 feet long.
