Library Cause Curious Citizens Many local citizens, noting the article last week in this ( paper on the annual herring flin . in creeks, and the Perquimans Riv er, plus the running in Chowan, have been paying visits Jo the soots around the county to watch Mhe fascinating swirling of the large run of the herring fish, andthe dipping by local, folks with wire baskets." ' - It's always been a familiar sight here during the , months of March and April and on as late as the middle of May. ; The re turn each year of herring to rivers and creeks of Perquimans is as typical . of spring as an apple or pear blossom. : The herring, natives of the shores of Labrador, come to warmer waters in early spring to spawn. . The male forerun ners come first down the Atlan tic, into the rivers, and finally the creeks. Soon the females follow them. Fat with roe, they go into quiet creek watejrs to lay their eggs. 'The word passes quickly, along the grapevine from local herr ing dipper to .dipper and; they load their cars with wire nets and head for the creeks. They drop their wire net in, hold the string until they feel the bump of the herring hitting th&i net. Then he quickly lifts the' net and pulls in, perhaps, more than a dozen fish. ; Last week during the"' print ing of The Perquimans Weekly, tMiS reporter took a walk down to the waterfront in Edenton where herring dipping was. in full swing; While standing there watching, 'one man dipped up at least 20 fish within about 45 minutes time.

Contributions made in mem ory of a family member or a friend are acknowledged by the American Cancer Society, and a Memorial Card is sent to the family, other groups or individ ual stating that a Memorial has been received and giving the name of the donor. These con tributions may . be in any amount and are tax deductible, according to Mrs, Jackson. Memorial funds are used to support the Society's unceasing fight against cancer through co ordinated programs of research, education and service. Although the major source of funds for these programs is the Society s annual crusade, Me morial Gifts received throughout the year are becoming increas ingly important to the Society as more families and individuals become aware that they can contribute in the name of a loved one toward ultimate vic tory over the dread disease of cancer. 'The American Cancer Socie ty is deeply grateful to families. other groups and individuals of Hertford and Perquimans Coun ty who are using this practical means Of assisting the Society in expanding counter-attack on cancer. , Memorial fund- . checks shouUL.be made quimans County Cant!er Society of the American Cancer Society, and mailed to Mrs. D.
