FISHERMEN WILL
PROTEST SHORT
HERRING SEASON

EdCntOn, Oct. 11-AlbCmarlC
herring fiShcrmn met here ycStCr-
day, paid their annual dues, ad-
mittCd they controlled GIT pound
nets in these waters in which they
had caught 32,650,000 herring
last spring, and went on record as
vigorously opposed to any short
ching of the herring fishing sea-
son. To emphasize this OppOSi
ton they appointed a special COM
mittee with state highway COM
missioner Julien Wood, himself an
old time herring ncttcr, as chair
man, to go to Raleigh next week,
and complain to the state board
of conservation and development
about the prospective seasonal
change.
Sidney Smith was chairman of
the meeting and John H. Small
was secretary, and about $50 fish
crmCn helped crowd the old court
house here. 1t was explained at
the outset to them that a special
saving program committee had
recommended to the state board
that Shad season should be cut
from middle January to middle
May to from February IS to April
IS. The herring gathcrcrS under
stood full well, they said, this
recommendation said nothing a.
bout herring, but as the two types
of anadromouS fish run together
at the same time of year it is
impossible to fish for one without
catching some of the other. If
they are to be penalizcd for catch
ing Shad unconSciOusly when they
catch herring, they want that, 100
understood in advance.
The meeting ran through Sat-
urday afternoon and the general
discussion was that the herring
men would meet the recommended
ton by conScnting to a delayed
season start of February IS, but
would insist on the season running
to May Is instead of closing a
month earlier. And besides Mr..
Wood the others who will accomp-
any him to Raleigh to say as
much will be: J. E. Perry, E. F.
Elliott. CannOn'S Ferry, L. A.

RuSScll'S paper on atmosphere

air by combustion. respiration and
decay. But there is another pro-

depleted. This is the oXidizing

this inCXorable process of rock

put an end to all that brcathCS."
But since the earth has lasted
perhaps a billion years and only
half the oxygen is used up, Rus

billion years before all oxygen is
gone, and possibly much longer.
