fit to spend it.
Twice we have seen Dare Coun-
ty go into bankruptcy when it
should never have been necessary.
We have seen the time when it's
people bore nearly half the cost
of what they bought for themselves
in the way of Government and now
the situation has been shifted until
they bear only a mere fraction of
it's cost. If the time comes when
the sources we now tap so readily
should dry up, it will be a sad day.
We have already witnessed a re-
cent example in Currituck County,
where the people, who had grown
to rely on the wheel of fortune,
as represented by betting at the
dog tracks, are having to make
good all the income they lost when
the courts wiped out the dog
races. And it really pinches.
We should never put all our eggs
in one basket. At least not until
we can find some officials who will
carry our baskets more carefully
than they have been doing recent
ly. With most of our money coming
in free, we find taxes jumping
each year, in spite of beach prop
erty leaping in value each year by
the million. Really, are we doing
much thinking or are we just fid-
ding while Rome burns?
