A total of 1,283 individuals were trained in Camden, Chowan, Currituck, Dare, Gates, Hyde, Pasquotank, Perquimans, Tyrrell and Washington Counties. This exceeded the regional goal by 533 persons. CPR is a combination of artificial breathing and artificial circulation which should be started immediately as an emergency procedure when cardiac arret occurs by individuals properly trained to do so. CPR classes can be completed in nine hours and include a combination of classroom instruction and prac tical exercise.

Fishing in the river close to town is a little slow but there are still some fish being taken. Things down at the "S" Bridge are slow during the day, but there are some fish being taken after dark. White Perch are being caught in fair numbers on down the river, but your best bet is out in the sound and then the best fishing is on the other side. There have been some flounder taken out in the river, but they are (ew and far between. Things down on the beach are hit or miss on the piers and surf. Seems they always bit yesterday about this time of year. Offshore fishing is really picking up. Billfish are being taken in fair numbers, but tuna and dolphin are really being taken in large numbers. All waterfowlers in this area, at one time or another, gripe about the early season we always get stuck with; and yours truly is one of the guilty parties. Well, on August 22, 1M3 at 7:30 p.m. at the Pasquotank County Courthouse in Elizabeth City, the N. C. Wildlife Resources Commission will hold a public hearing to get the public's opinion on bow the waterfowl regulations should be set for the upcoming season. Let's see how many people we can get there. It's about time we were instrumental in getting some changes made. This is a prime time to do it with license fees going up and the state trying to get voluntary support for a state waterfowl stamp. If you duck hunt, be there. Let's try to get a season we can really enjoy. .
