I" FtSWNG-80 YEARS AGO I •Mrs. Charles P. Wales has in her possession a lengthy but interesting article written in Edenton on October 10, 1871, by Edward Wood. The sub set of the article is fishing in this section and was written to the presi dent of the Agricultural Society of North Carolina. So interesting is this article that The Herald wffl print it in two or three installments. My Dear Sir: Thinking that a few remarks on the subject of fishing, an interest so important in our section of the State, and so little understood by the people generally, would not be out of place before your body, I take pleasure in presenting to you some items of information on that branch of industry. I fear, however, that my feeble condition of health will not al ow me to do the subject justice. I presume I hazard nothing in saying that our shad and {raring fisheries are the most extensive in the world: while I have heard intelligent gentle men in our mountain region say, they did not know of their existence. Albemarle Sound, upon which most of tiie fisheries are located is about sixty («0) miles long, from four (4) to twelve (12) miles wide, and from eighteen (18) to twenty-two (22) feet deep in its main channel. Its chief tributaries are: at its head, the Chowan, Roanoke and Cashie rlv OPS Regulations Explained Today % In Elizabeth City i ■ ■ j Team of Business Ana lysts Serving People 11 In This Section < The Eastern Carolina Office of Pride Stabilization will send a team of j business analysts to Elizabeth t CHjy on June 26, who will be located at the Virginia Dare Hotel to explain various OPS regulations and to assist people of this area in preparing re ports. G. C. Mead, secretary of the Elizabeth City Chamber of Commerce has announced. The office will be open from 11 A. M. to 12:30 P. M. and 1 P. M. to 1 3 P. M. Residents of Hertford are urged to meet with the OPS repre sentatives' for any assistance they may need. A series of field trips to cities in Eastern Carolina by OPS representa tives under the auspices of chambers \ of commerce and merchants associa tions is planned as a public service 1 of OPS. 1 “The Eastern Carolina OPS is anx- ' ious to cooperate with the people in ' every way,” Director J. G. Clark said, ' “and it is our purpose to help busi ness men with their reports and to explain the regulation applicable to their business.” The Elizabeth City visit is .planned to serve people of this immediate vi- ' cinity and the following counties: 1 Pasquotank, Hertford, Gates, Cho wan, Perquimans, Camden, Currituck and Dare. Anderson Church Budding Dedicated Sunday Afternoon Service In Memory of Horace Layden, Killed *n Tragic Accident In the Anderson Methodist Church, two miles west of Hertford, next Sun day afternoon at 3 o’clock a dedica tory service will be held for the new Sunday School .building.

"No prudent man will spend a i dollar upon the shore until he is satis- j fied that the water can be cleared of j all obstructions to working his seine. ; After this is done the buildings are ] put up; consisting of immense she!- < tens, to hold from 300 to 600 hogs heads, with shelters attached for ( draining and packing the fish, salt houses, quarters for the hands, sta bles, barrel shelters, and office com- . plete the buildings of the establish- < ment, with a long, broad platform 1 for landing fish on.

They do acrobatics, juggling and Miss Gail Derensky goes high in the tent aerial and balances her head on the revolving trapeze. Captain Mat Larish and Company combines with James O’Donald with 20 minutes of fast working perform ing dogs. A performing elephant act is directed by the youngest elephant trainer in America. In combination with 20 other acts the show closes with Madamosele Gilette, just returned from a tour of Europe with her death defying leap from a platform in the highest point of the tent to a single trapeze 20 feet away. The side shows on the midway are connected with the Hagan Wallace Circus and are said to be both edu cational and entertaining, and the show will include the usual clowns for entertainment. Improvements At Base Expected To Begin Very Soon Part of Contract Given To Sumter, South Ca rolina, Concern According to current reports work is expected to begin within a few days on resurfacing and widening runways and constructing taxi strips at the Edenton Naval Air Station.

Visitors’ Day Is Planned At Health Offices In District Offices Open to Public 1 To 3 P. M. Last Mon day Each Month On the last Monday each month from 1:00 to 3:00 P. M., the four health offices in this district will be host to the general public. This plan arises from the fact that a great many people have never been to their health office, and have little idea as to what is actually being done there to protect the health of. all the people. Many have the idea that only the in digent benefit from the program. “Through communicable disease control, tuberculosis control, cancer detection, school health service, su pervision of eating and lodging places, milk and other food super vision, waste disposal, and in fact the whole pcblic health program affects the health of all of us whether we realize it or not,” says Dr. B. B. Mc- Guire, District Health Officer. We feel, therefore, that the public has a right to know how their tax dollar is being used. After schools open, by previous ar rangement, the senior high school students in all four counties may visit their county health office, or prefer ably the Health Center, Elizabeth City, where much more public health may be learned than at the other three offices. Many people come to the office for some service but have not been shown through the office nor had explained to them the various activities of the department. This is the first oppor tunity citizens have had to be shown through the offices, and to learn more about the practical side of public health. Some member or members of the staff will be on duty to explain the services ito all visitors during the hours of 1:00 to 3:00 P. M., the last Monday each month. “If your health is important, then public health is important to you,” says Dr. McGuire.
