Residents of Duplin County who
have septic tanks are advised to
make sure a company or individ

County Ordinance regulating sep
tic tanks, it reads 'No person shall
pump out or clean a septio tank
system without a permit from the

For Duplin Tornado
Victims Says Gov.
Recent tornado damage in five
North Carolina counties was not
sufficient to warrant a declaration
of 'major disaster' by President
Eisenhower.
Gov. Hodges was informed of this
in a telegram Tuesday from Sher
man Adams, assistant to the Presi
dent. The Federal Civil Defense
Administration made a survey of
the five counties, Robeson, Samp
son, Scotland, Cumberland and Du
plin. The wire stated that on the ba
sis of this survey the damage 'does
not appear to be of sufficient scope
and magnitude' to warrant the Pre
sident declaring the five counties
major disaster' areas. Hodges had
asked that the counties be given a
major disaster' declaration, so they
would be eligible for federal funds.
