1U, Mews Section tAt Local Neics ic Features MONDAY, JUNE 7, 1965 a TO' V'W Turtles 'Predict 9 Big Came For A rea the conservation department and local Radio Station WWIL, have set a "Turtle Watch" July 13. When the turtles come up on the beach, the mama will dig a shallow hole with her flippers and then settle down to lay her eggs. Until she settles down, she can easily be scared back into the water but once the laying has begun nothing can distract her. There may be a big hurricane brewing this year. Or, at least the giant sea turtles seem to think so.

The turtles have begun their annual trek from the sea to South Florida beaches to lay their eggs. And they are laying them high on Broward beaches, according to Harold "Hap" Carlo, agent with the Florida State Salt Water Conservation Commission. After she is through, she carefully buries the eggs and scatters the sand with her flippers and then crawls back into the ocean. The eggs later hatch and the babies find their way to the sea by themselves. The conservation department warns that it is against the law to molest the turtles or the eggs during the months of May through August and violators are subject to stiff fines.

The mama turtles, who lay from 100 to 300 eggs at a appear to be crying big salt tears during the laying process. The big loggerheads and trunkbacks will be coming ashore as prompted by nature from now until September, and the activity seems to be more numerous on the night of the full moon. The Ft.

One thing that might upset the old Indian proverb, however, is that the turtles may be a year late and practicing' hindsight instead of foresight.

He said last year the turtles were laying their eggs at a normal distance from the water and the area experienced several storms. By tradition among the Indians, Carlo said, this indicates the South Florida area is due for a big hurricane this year. The egg-laying turtles have become a popular nighttime pastime with Broward residents who camp on the beaches and wait until the sea creatures come ashore to fulfill their natural destiny. Carlo said the turtles this year are climbing in the Deer- 1 laited.
