There is an en forcement division of the OPA with teeth strong enough to en fovce but OPA does not want to enforce. For this reason the local price panel was set up for the pur- pose of helping Duplin merchants in following regulations. It is ad- 7 mitted that there is a lot of red ' tape and the purpose of the panel is to help the merchants under stand the red tape.
