Coast Guard StationsListed below are the U. S. Coast Guard Lifesaving Stations between Little Egg Inlet, N. J., and Indian

River Inlet, Del. The boat owner is cautioned that from time to time some of these may be discontinued while others not listed here may later be established.

All of these stations may be contacted by visual signalling. In addition, the Coast Guard maintains at many points a continuous watch for distress signals on both 500 kilocycles, voice or key, and on 2670 kilocycles for radio telephone. To avoid unnecessary delay in receiving assistance, the following information should be in­cluded in a distress call.

1. Name, type, and nationality of ship.2. Position, course, and speed (or drift).3. Nature of trouble and condition of vessel, sea and wind.4. Number of persons on board.5. Whether or not Coast Guard assistance is required.

Any vessel unable to contact the Coast Guard directly should remember that a message can frequently bedelivered by relay through another ship or a shore station.

A Good PortIn Avalon and its surrounding area we believe we

can fill the need of every yachtsman and his family.Our waterfront real estate covers many miles. If

you will look at the geodetic map in this publication you will note the many harbors and canals within the Borough of Avalon with direct access to the Inland Waterway . . . good protected harbors in the foulest weather . . . calm waters with good bottom. Moor your boat in your own back yard, so to speak. Ample repair, service and storage facilities.

Much of this land is improved property; there is also a good share of unimproved. As a matter of fact, a large island completely surrounded by waterways with one side facing the Inland Waterway is ideal for the developer-investor to put to many potential uses.

We are the center of a wheel, the spokes of which reach out to Atlantic City, Ocean City and Sea Isle City to the north, and Stone Harbor, Wildwood and Cape May to the south. Our clean, gentle sloping beach is of soft, white sand; one of the safest in South Jersey. An ideal family community, with churches for most de­nominations and plenty of uncrowded space for chil­dren to romp and play, it is a friendly town that brings the same people back year after year. Ample businesses to meet most needs, yet room for more enterprises is available. There are good paved streets, police and fire protection.

The close proximity of the Gulf Stream offers pleasant weather the year around. Ample beachfront locations available with commanding views of the A t­lantic Ocean.

Modern transportation serves Avalon by air-condi­tioned, diesel-powered, stainless steel railroad equip­ment; clean, comfortable diesel buses; Allegheny A ir­lines; and fine highways for the motorist.

Rentals or purchases of residences, buildings, im­proved and unimproved real estate are here to suit your needs . . . modern hotels and apartments. Come for a season and our guess is you will return often.

CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE

N E W JERSEY

America’s VacationlandBy L a w r e n c e M. L e a rDirector of Freeholders County of Cape May

Almost anyone can find the an­swer to their vacation problem in Cape May County.

Every one of the county’s 18 re­sorts, 12 of which are on the A t­lantic Ocean and six on the Dela­ware Bay, is different from each other. Each has its own individual appeal. No matter how discriminat­ing or cosmopolitan a person’s taste may be, there is a resort here to his or her liking.

The attractions of our resorts are varied and numerous. Nature has provided many of them, man has created others. From beach and boardwalk to boating and fishing, the seeker of play, relaxation or recreation will find just what he is looking for.

Water sports naturally top the list, with sailing and boating rank­ing high in favor. The Yacht Clubs of the county have played an im­portant role in popularizing sailing

and boating. They have in fact been a vital factor in luring many visitors to our resorts and then having them return year after year.

It gives me great pleasure, there­fore, on behalf of the Cape May County Board of Freeholders, to congratulate the Yacht Clubs lo** cated in this county for the part they have played in the growth of the county and to particularly com­mend the Avalon Yacht Club for its many accomplishments throughout the 10 years of activity.

It is our hope that the visiting yachtsmen will tarry long enough to see for themselves why Cape May County, with its warm, friend­ly atmosphere and its appeal to young and old alike, is deservedly known as America’s Vacationland.

We welcome them and invite them to vacation here for the first time, confident that if they do, they will need no invitation to return.

Anyone with a power yacht might benefit greatly by joining up with the U. S. Power Squadrons.

A good pair of binoculars can add a great deal of interest to the trip, and safety, too, in sighting a buoy that might otherwise be missed.

If anyone goes overboard, toss any floating object at once; i t’s awfully hard to see a man’s head in the water and to return to some­one you can’t see.

By E d i t h M. G re e n a n , Mayor

The officials of the Borough of Avalon extend a welcome to the visiting yachtsmen and other guests of the Avalon Yacht Club to our resort.

We are proud of Avalon and proud of our club.Avalon is a friendly community and, no matter

how short your visit may be, we know the magic charm of Avalon will linger in your memory.

We not only invite you to visit us again but extend an invitation to become a member of our resort, for once you have seen our splendid water­

ways, our beautiful beach and picturesque sand dunes, we are sure you will want to return.

As a Borough official and a member of the club, I commend the Commodore and officers for bringing the 1953 New Jersey State Champion­ship Regatta of the International Moth Class Association to Avalon this year, and congratulate the club upon its Twelfth Anniversary. May it accomplish as much in the next twelve years as it has in the past decade.

Treasurer J o h n H . S to r t z

Jhsi fomwwduhfi A IfyioAAjaqnIt is my privilege to extend to you, on behalf of the

Flag Officers and the Board of Trustees, a most sincere and hearty welcome to Avalon and the Avalon Yacht Club.

The loyalty of our membership, past officers and the hard work of our many committees is to be commended. Since 1941 our community and club have experienced great progress. We are indeed grateful to our Borough officials and businessmen for their kind cooperation and assistance in helping us do our part in making Avalon the ideal family resort.

Our members will find within the pages of this maga­zine a program of activities for the entire family. The clubhouse is open six days each week and is one of the most attractive and comfortably furnished along the coast. It is ideal for entertaining. The commanding view of the waterways and sunsets is an enjoyable sight.

On August 22nd and 23rd, in cooperation with the Borough of Avalon, we will sponsor the 1953 New Jersey State Championship Regatta of the International Moth Class Association. This is a great honor that has been bestowed upon our club and will attract many people to Avalon who have never before visited our community. Complete details of this event will be found elsewhere in this publication.

Again this year the club is providing sailing instruc­tion classes for the sons and daughters of our members under the able direction of Eddie Palmer. All beginners must first pass a swimming test. Our purpose is to teach juniors to sail “Moth Boats” and later Comets, in competition.

The Power Boat Committee is headed by Dr. J. Harry Ruetschlin, who is a member of the U. S. Power Squadron. An interesting program of sport fishing, short cruises and parade is scheduled for the members owning power boats.

Improvements are being made consistent with the club policy. Your Board of Trustees and Officers are pleased to report that your club is financially sound. They join me in requesting that you use all of the club facilities for a full measure of enjoyment at the club this season.

Sincerely,B r it t o n W. P a l m e r ,

Commodore.

As an auxiliary group it is our purpose to plan activities of inter­est to the ladies and to assist in maintaining an attractive club house. We wish to encourage both civic and social activities as well as greater use of the club house facili­ties during the week.

Feeling that the younger chil­dren also deserve our attention, we sponsor what is known as the Junior Juniors. This unusual group consists of boys and girls from ages 5 to 14. They have a full schedule which will help keep them busy and happy.

Our program is conducted on an informal schedule, for reasons of flexibility. The Annual Card Party, our greatest project, will take place this year on July 29th. More com­plete news on this will be an­nounced later. Our meetings are listed in the Activities Schedule found elsewhere in this publication.

With the proceeds of our activi­ties we redecorate and furnish our club house. It is our wish to keep the club house both comfortable and attractive.

This year we are busy with a r­rangements to help make the In ter­national Moth Class Association’s Regatta a very pleasant and mem­orable event. Won’t you come visit with us?

The Junior Yacht ClubBy N a n c y A n d e r s o n , Junior Editor

Each year many new families come to Avalon for the first time. To these parents and young people we say “Welcome to Avalon.” We believe your sons and daughters will have a most enjoyable visit if they will participate in the activi­ties of this organization designed for the younger set.

The Juniors operate as a club within a club and elect their own officers in June. Last year’s offi­cers were: Commodore, William B. Calhoun, III; Vice Commodore, Ed­gar S. Palmer; Rear Commodore, James A. Merkel; Secretary, Mar­jorie Mecke; Treasurer, Sue Ann Horn.

We plan all our activities, such as our Friday night dances, the Annual Shipwreck Dance, Tri-Club dances with Sea Isle City and Stone Harbor yacht clubs, our formal Junior Commodore’s Ball, which this year will be held on August 14, and the Winter Reunion. The past

Reunion was held at the Penn- Sheraton Hotel, in Philadelphia, with Bart Dutton’s Orchestra.

The Club House is equipped with most every facility of interest to the younger set, including barbecue pit, darts, three-speed record ampli­fier, ping-pong tables, etc. One may learn how to participate in many things such as swimming, cards, sailing, dancing, water skiing, aqua­planing, taught through the associ­ating with others of their own age.

The Yacht Club is a perfect spot for teenagers on rainy days or when it’s not nice enough for the beach. Sunday afternoon there is ALWAYS a ukelele jam session or just a common gab fest. All our activities are under the direction of our senior advisor, Rear Com­modore Charles E. Dagit, and the senior officers.

We invite ALL Juniors of the South Jersey Clubs to join us in our summer of fun.

For those who worry over yes­terday’s mistakes: The moment a thing is done and over it should be dropped from the mind as ir­retrievably as a stone dropped in the ocean.

South Jersey Yacht Racing AssociationThis Association of Yacht Clubs

was founded in the winter of 1940 by representatives of the Greater Wildwood Y. C., Margate City Y. C., Ocean City Y. C., and the Yacht Club of Stone Harbor in order to encourage inter-club sail boat rac­ing under uniform rules in the South Jersey area.

Past Commodore Henry Hood (Ocean City) was the first presi­dent and P. C. Giles Monville (Wild­wood) was the first secretary-treas- urer.

The association’s main object was to eliminate conflict between mem­ber clubs of regatta dates, to pro­mote Corinthianism in sail boat rac­ing and in assisting member clubs in maintaining standard racing and regatta rules.

The association is composed of two delegates and one alternate from each member club. The mem­ber clubs for 1953 are:

Avalon Yacht Club, Brigantine Yacht Club, Greater Wildwood Yacht Club, Margate City Yacht Club, Ocean City Yacht Club, Yacht Club of Sea Isle City, Yacht Club of Stone Harbor.

After three years of operation the progress of the association was limited due to the war and because of some differences of opinions as to classes of boats in regattas. The association ceased to function for .several years and in the winter of 1945 due to the efforts of Ed Green (Ocean City) the association was rehabilitated and regattas resumed under a new constitution and by­laws and it has progressed ever

since and today appears to be in a position to realize for member clubs and South Jersey sailors more benefits than ever.

At the February meeting, the as­sociation approved regatta dates for the 1953 season, which bids well to surpass many former years, and voted to join the North Amer­ican Yacht Racing Union, which in addition to other benefits entitles sailors of member clubs to become eligible to enter the following events, sponsored by the N.A.Y.R. Union:

NATIONAL WOMEN’S SAIL­ING CHAMPIONSHIP ( A d a m s Cup). The female team to compete for this trophy must all come from one club. Three sailors and one al­ternate is to be chosen.

NATIONAL JUNIOR SAILING CHAMPIONSHIP (Sears Cup) . Team is composed of four boys or girls 15 to 18 years of age to repre­sent the South Jersey Association.

NORTH AMERICAN SAILING CHAMPIONSHIP (Mallory Cup). This race attracts the top sailors in the entire country and our associa­tion will select a team of four sail­ors over 18 years of age to repre­sent South Jersey in the elimina­tion race in hope of placing in the finals.

SOUTH JERSEY CHAMPIONS Year Comet1945— J. H. Wright, Stone Harbor1946— A. W. Hopkin, Ocean City1947— A. W. Hopkin, Ocean City1948— A. W. Hopkin, Ocean City1949— E. A. Flood, Jr., Wildwood1950— A. W. Hopkin, Ocean City

The championships of the associ­ation in 1953 will be awarded to the high point winner in each class in the six combined races comprising the regattas of the Ocean City and Wildwood Yacht Clubs.

Guests on BoardPerfect weather, a sound, well-

supplied boat and congenial com­panions are a yachtsman’s delight. Add the element of time for enjoy­ing these factors and there isn’t much more an enthusiastic owner could desire. However, while you can be fairly sure of the weather and quite certain about the condi­tion of your boat, how about those congenial companions?

As we cast off at the start of a run or cruise few of us dwell on the dire things that could happen to the guests we have aboard. Those of us who do are more apt to shrug off the idea with the feeling that nothing will happen to us anyhow.

Unfortunate events do occur, however, and to the people who least expect them. Ample evidence of this is in the many court actions.

Being automobile drivers, many of us believe that the same rules that apply to guests in automobiles apply to guests in boats. Disillu­sion yourself a t once upon this idea. The local “Guest S tatute’’ does not apply to boats operating on the navigable waters and lakes of your state. The admiralty rules prevail and it is under them that liability is finally determined.

In a recent decision of the United States Court of Appeals, F ifth Cir­cuit (Schoremoyer v. Barnes, 190 Fed 2d 14, 1951), the law as to a boatowner’s liability to guests un­der the circumstances stated is clearly set forth, and while leaving no room for doubt it does give much food for thought. In this case a couple of nonboat owners, desiring the pleasures of a day on the water, called some friends who owned a cruiser and made arrange­ments for a day of cruising. Every­thing went along fine and the cruis­ing was grand until it was decided tha t a swim overside would be re ­freshing. The two men dived in, and after swimming for some time signaled the two women aboard to run the boat over to them.

By T h e S e a L a w y e r

The owner’s wife could operate the boat and proceeded to run down to the men, but in maneuvering so that the men could reboard, the propeller “struck and cut the right leg and foot of the claimant.”

The “congenial guest” brought this action against his “friend” for the injuries received and out of the window went friendship and in came trouble. This was real trouble, too, since the court held that the owner was liable to his guest and that there could be no limitations on this liability under the local “Guest Statute.” The holding effec­tively establishes that boats are not in the same class as automobiles, navigable waters are not public highways in the sense that roads are, and that the admiralty rules, and not local law, are applicable.

Although the court found in this case that the injuries resulted from “faulty handling of the cruiser” in that the wife “negligently failed to keep a proper lookout and was un­skillful in maneuvering the boat, and drove same fast as she ap­proached the claimant,” under simi­lar circumstances involving your boat and family how would you like the court to find?

Not one of us desires any harm to befall any of our invited guests and most of us take measures for the protection of their welfare and safety. While it is seldom that harm comes to our guests, looking back on past experiences we can re­call foolish acts where, but for the grace of lady luck, consequences might have been disastrous.

It thus behooves us in providing for the safety and welfare of our guests, and boat, to use the same degree of perception and caution in selecting the “congenial guests” we invite aboard as we use in consider­ing weather conditions and in de­termining the soundness of our craft.

Greetings, Moth SkippersBy B u r n e t t e W . D o w le f

President, International Moth Class Association

It is with great pleasure that I welcome the Moth Sailors to the 1953 New Jersey State Championship Regatta of the International Moth Class Association. I am happy to report that over the past year there has been a marked increase in Moth Boat activity in all clubs having Moth Boats. Also, we are proud to boast of the new clubs recently added to the association. The Moth Boat is continuing to prove itself the most popular of small boats along the Eastern seaboard. You will see the Moth included in practically every major regatta from Atlantic City to St. Petersburg, Florida. It is possible to sail in a Moth Regatta any month in the year.

In addition to the growth in number, the Inter­national Moth Class Association has also shown con­siderable growth in a spirit of good sportsmanship and friendly cooperation. Such spirit is the most essential factor in the growth of any class, and in view of this, we feel that we can look forward to even greater strides in the progress of our association in the coming years.

“Corinthianism in yachting is that attribute which represents participation for sport as distinct from gain and which also involves the acquirement of nautical experience through love of sport rather than through necessity or hope of gain.”

Make a Corinthian and good sport out of your son or daughter. “Start them sailing.”

Our 1953 RegattaBy A r t h u r N . H i n k e l

Past Commodore3 General Chairman, Regatta Committee

It is with great pleasure we an­nounce that the Avalon Yacht Club, in conjunction with the Borough of Avalon and the International Moth Class Association, will present the 1953 New Jersey State Moth Cham­pionship and Sailing Regatta on August 22 and 23. Operated under the rules of the North American Yacht Racing Union, as amended, it is also sanctioned by the Comet Class Yacht Racing Association and the South Jersey Yacht Racing Association.

The highlight of the regatta is the defending of the International Moth Class Association title, “New Jersey State Champion,” by our very able skipper, Eddie Palmer, son of Commodore Britton Palmer. Eddie had a fine year in 1952, hav­ing won both the “South Jersey Championship” and “New Jersey State Championship” titles for Moth Class boats. He must defend his state title on his own course.

The Avalon Regatta will be an open regatta to all registered Moth and Comet Class boats. There will be two classes of Comets, “A” and “B.” Skippers desiring to register as a Class “B” Comet must enter only slow boats and such reg istra­tion must be approved by the com­mittee. For those skippers desiring

to arrive on Friday, August 21, reg­istrations will be taken from 7:00 to 9:00 o’clock that night. It is well to point out that there will be two races on Saturday and one race on Sunday. Extraordinary arrange­ments have been made for the en­tertainment: of the sailors and mem­bers of the many Yacht Clubs who will join with us in these two days of festivities.

No one individual can produce a regatta of this magnitude without an organization. The members of the committees who will serve from this day forward deserve your sup­port and appreciation. Each mem­ber, we are proud to say, has been selected on the basis of ability, effi­ciency, teamwork and sportsman­ship.

A complete program, map of course and list of committees will be found on the following pages.

We invite all yachtsmen to plan a cruise to Avalon for the Regatta. Calm, protected waters await you, with easy access to the Inland Waterway and Atlantic Ocean.

Luncheon will be served to all contestants and will be available to the members and guests at moder­ate prices.

A Regatta Ball will be held in the Club House on Saturday night

from 9 o’clock in honor of con­testants, visiting dignitaries and honored guests. Members of other clubs are welcome.

Presentation of awards and tro­phies will take place on Sunday im­mediately following the last event. Brief messages by visiting digni­taries and commodores will be heard while the various committees decide the victors.

We urge you to attend this Re­gatta and enjoy with us the friend­ly atmosphere of our club and community.

An EditorialBy Boris L a u er-Leonardi

In the past we have given some hints on cruising with women, and now find that by urgent request we have to write about cruising with men.

We admit tha t we welcome this opportunity since it is easy to state the few simple requirements that will assure a man’s happiness. Any woman who follows these sugges­tions will lead a full and contented married life.

F irst of all, the little woman must fix it firmly in her mind that the moment she is afloat her hus­band is the lord and master of all he surveys and that his wishes, spoken or merely implied, are to- be treated as ironbound orders. In fact the slightest deviation from this basic concept is downright dangerous to her, her husband, the ship and all hands on board.

As the skipper is always alert, it must not fool the woman when he appears to be fast asleep because actually his subconscious is as busy as a beaver. Therefore she shouldn’t disturb her husband at any time except in a dire emergency or when by a motion of his hand he indi­cates that he is willing to listen to small talk.

Since her husband obviously ex­pends a great deal of energy while aboard, the good wife will prepare tasty meals at frequent intervals.

Also she will not burden him with any nonsense about such things as shopping for victuals when in port, as that is the only time he can relax fully.

The husband is the skipper and should decide on the ports of call. After all, he is thinking oi wind, tide and current and not whether Aunt Agatha in Mudhaven should receive her annual visit.

I t’s the skipper who leaves the dinghy first and enters it last. He gets the aftermost bunk to s ta r­board and rates the green blanket. It is he who sits down first and arises first from meals. He it is who chooses the topic of conversa­tion, shuts up a talker by gently raising his eyebrows, and interrupts others at will. (Be it noted, how­ever, that the mere thought oi in­terrupting the skipper will freeze the blood of any woman worth her salt.)

In fact, what a woman must bear in mind about cruising with her husband is that she can assure her happiness by performing all the duties he requires and by paying careful attention to her appearance, which at all times should be as good as wind and weather permit.

After all, she does want him to be proud of her.

Frontier of the Eastern Seaboard

By T h o m a s B. H a m m , President Cape May County Chamber of Commerce

Responsible persons in many parts of the United States are con­tributing to the growth and grow­ing confidence of the people to seek out and settle in Cape May County. The industrial development trend in our county is being encouraged by representatives of firms in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, P itts­burgh, Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, Wilmington, Baltimore and Wash­ington. Inquiries concerning plant sites for new industries have in some cases come from as far as California. This is made possible because of the nature of the manu­facturer’s products and the accessi­bility to their markets from loca­tions in Cape May County, South­ern New Jersey.

Some of the factors often cited are: rapid, uncongested transporta­tion, pleasant small towns, modest taxes— no state sales tax, no state income tax— steady Cape May County workers, plenty of elbow room, abundance of electricity, na­tural gas, deep water transporta­tion, unlimited fresh water, near­ness of raw materials and compon­ent parts, many nearby resorts and recreation facilities, moderate cli­mate— annual average temperature of 52 degrees— and above all, a good, strong community spirit.

Plant sites along the Delaware River Valley are receiving more a t­tention from steel-using industries throughout the nation than ever be­fore since Big Steel has come to the Delaware River Valley . . . heart of the world’s greatest consumer markets. Surveys by several of these companies have favored plant locations in safe and decentralized areas 30 to 40 miles south and east of the United States Steel and Na­tional Steel plants. Cape May Coun­ty is ideally located and equipped to meet every requirement of mod­ern industry.

The people of New Jersey recent­ly approved a referendum to build the Garden State Parkway from George Washington Bridge on the Hudson River to the Delaware Bay

in Cape May County, connecting with a ferry service to the State of Delaware, thereby closing the last link from Maine to Florida. I believe that the completion of this Parkway in its entire length in 1954 will open up opportunities and privileges of a free and happy way of life unheard of before in Cape May County. Rapid construction of the Parkway will relieve some of the greatest points of congestion in New Jersey. This will reduce by one-third the state’s backlog of needed highway construction with­out cost to the State Government.

Design, not speed, cuts travel time. Motorists who will use the Parkway can look forward to sav­ing time through efficiency in de­sign rather than high speed mov­ing. If the proposed 50-mile speed limit is established, on the Park­way, the cause of safety will be served and time savings such as those indicated below may be an­ticipated:

Hrs. ViaExisting Hrs. Via

From Paterson, N. J. Routes ParkwayTo: Asbury Park 2.1 1.2

Atlantic City 3.9 2.5Cape May City 4.6 3.1

Corresponding time savings will accrue on shorter trips, of which there will be many, because of fre ­quent interchanges. Greater time savings will be realized during the days of heavy vacation travel marked in the past by bumper-to- bumper traffic jams so fam iliar to the people from the metropolitan areas.

The Cape May County Chamber of Commerce, an organization com­posed of citizens representing every section of Cape May County, stands ready to aid industries in locating here. Whether you are a large em­ployer or small employer doesn’t matter. If you conduct your busi­ness along sound lines, we are de­sirous of having you locate in Cape May County. Communications should be addressed to the Secre­tary, George W. Dawson, Cape May Court House, N. J.

Enter the Fishing ContestThe Annual Fishing Contest for

1953 is now open and before it ends on October 15, many anglers will have entered fish which will bring them valuable and useful prizes to add lasting memories to the thrill and fun experienced making the catches.

Since 1936, when the Cape May County Fishing Contest was in­augurated, hundreds of anglers have received valuable prizes for landing the largest of the many va­rieties of fish found in the ocean, inlets and waterways of this area. Incidentally, Cape May County is the second largest commercial pro­ducer of salt water fish on the A t­lantic Coast.

Popularity of the Fishing Contest has increased each succeeding year, due in a great measure to the ease with which anglers may enter their catches. Party boat captains, dock masters, tackle shop operators and others in each fishing section ex­tend every courtesy and coopera­tion. They help weigh and meas­ure the fish, provide entry forms and certify to the accuracy of statements.

The long list of attractive prizes for the largest and next largest fish

of each variety, along with the weekly prizes offered during the season, encourage all fishing en­thusiasts to enter their catches. No fisherman is confined to a single entry. Any number of entries may be made by the same person during the contest period.

Few regions can equal the salt water fishing provided by the Jer­sey Cape, with its great stretch of Atlantic Ocean and Delaware Bay coast line, its numerous bays and coves, and its countless spring-fed streams, which create, with the purity and salinity of their waters, the natural conditions elemental to fish growth and reproduction.

Cape May County assures real fishermen’s luck . . . and along with it, the opportunity to win prizes while having many hours of sport and pleasure.

Cruise Where the Waters DeepAnd It if/ Fins Fight MAkv

Fmxy Alt the II Vi//

If you’re the sort who likes the spine-mushing sight of a big fin cutting through the briny, and if you appreciate heft to the fish on your line, then look to big-game fishing.

Marlin will take a feather lure, but results will be better if you use strip bait, trolled from an out­rigger at a good distance from the boat, so tha t it skips and jumps the waves. Sometimes a brightly painted hunk of wood, towed a few feet from stern, will entice a savage marlin. The fish will jab at it w ith his bill, then, veer off and flash in after your strip bait.

A good rod is the 8-ounce-tip split bamboo, and make sure that you get the long tip, preferably the 6%-foot. A rod of this length is whip-pliant, takes up slack nice­ly, kills the fish faster than the short rod does, and takes some of the fatigue from fishing. A 6/0 reel with capacity for 400 yards of 18-thread good linen line is big enough. Make certain your reel has a star drag and throw-off. Until you know when to apply and release the drag, you may have quite a few lines snapped, and mar­lin that were counted as boated may be back in the sea.

Marlin weighing 692 pounds have been caught; when you’ve h it one, you’ll probably feel as though you’re tied to Man o’ War with a nylon line. (A striped marlin has been known to jump out of the water 40 times.) A rod belt helps. Butt holders on the fishing chairs are handy, and it is much safer to fight the marlin strapped in the chair, but sometimes you may like a certain freedom of movement

while fighting your fish— then the rod belt is invaluable.

The blue-fin tuna is a giant th a t sometimes hits the scales at over 800 pounds; you need heavy stuff for this bulldog— 500 yards of 36- thread line on a 9/0 reel, a rod with a 26-ounce tip, a 14-foot heavy wire leader, and a 14/0 Sobey hook. A leather harness or vest, attached to the reel with strong straps, will dissolve some of the back strain.

Tuna are sometimes attracted to the boat by chumming. This sim­ply means that small, cut-up fish— usually herring— are thrown in the water to bring the blue-fins in for chow. Small fish can also be used for bait; butterfish seem to bring good results. Chumming usually calls for anchoring the boat and fishing in one spot. Trolling is a faster sport, and the feather lure will do the trick. School tuna may give your bait more of a play when you’re chumming. They’re a small­er edition of the big fellows, run­ning from 20 to 70 pounds, and, as the name implies, they travel in packs or schools. Your marlin tackle is right for them.

When he’s hooked, the blue-fin seems to have one purpose: first a hysterical rush, then surfacing, diving, and making for a spot under your boat. When you succeed in bringing him to surface at the risk of life and limb, the gigantic guy amazes you by taking off on a speedy run, trailing most of your line after him. You’ll never forget the battle.

Trolling(Courtesy M & H Sport Stores)

During the heat of the day, most game fish seek refuge in cool, deep water. Casting lures in the shallow water is generally unsuccessful. Then, too, surface and sub-surface lures are not effective in deep water, and deep running lures must be used to get them within the vision of the fish.

It is quite difficult to properly present a plug or spoon lure by casting to the deep water, as much of the time is spent selecting a likely location and then actually making the cast. Trolling seems to be the answer. Towing a lure close to the bottom and having it continuously in the water doubles the chances of having a few fish in the creel at the end of the day.

There is more to trolling than merely obtaining a boat and pull­ing a lure along as the boat is slowly rowed. The angler must be in constant touch with the lure at all times. He must know the depth of water so the lure travels barely six to ten inches above bottom. He must also know where the weed beds, sand bars and reefs are, so that most of the trolling can be concentrated on these places which the fish frequent. And the lures must be clean. Game fish will re­fuse them if the hooks or other parts of the lure have any grass, moss or foreign m atter clinging to

them. Retrieve the lure periodical­ly and examine it for clinging grass and fungus material.

Proper trolling equipment in­cludes a heavy fly, bait or casting rod, or perhaps merely s hand line; a lure heavy enough to sink tc the bottom ; and a three-way swivel and weight. The lure should be trolled slowly enough so that the sinker or weight can be felt striking the rocks as it is being dragged along. The line attaching the weight to the swivel should be somewhat lighter in test, so that the weight and not the lure will be lost should the weight become fouled among rocks.

The three-way swivel and a t­tached weight not only cause the lure to skim along rather deep, but also eliminate any tw ist in the line should the lure be a spinner or re­volving lure.

Plug lures, which twist, dive, wiggle and dart as they skim along, are irresistible to game fish. How­ever, spoons, spinners, weighted streamer flies and various live baits also are good trolling lures.

During the heat oi the day when little or no activity can be had in the shallow water, try trolling in the deeper water. Keep the lure close to the bottom as the boat is zigzagged across the stream or lake and you may be rewarded with siz­able fish.

Put Safety First for Ocean FishingBy O l l i e R o d m an

Salt Water Editor, Hunting and Fishing MagazineWithin recent years there have

been many hundreds of fishermen turning to the sea for their rod and reel sport. To them it was another more fruitful and exciting place to fish. But little did they know that any old boat tha t would float could also be nothing more than a watery death trap. In fact, many a good, sound boat has be­come that for too many salt water sport fishermen just because they did not have any idea of the power of the sea, the terro r of a heavy running tide, nor the suddenness with which a destructive squall can appear to change a lark into an unforgettable lesson— or worse, nor the respect which one should have for Old Man Sea. Many, including myself, have learned the hard way and lived to tell the tale; but it is easier and safer to heed the advice of these many than to learn, and perhaps lose, by yourself.

Take the day tha t Kenny Baker and I launched our small boat that could weather any reasonable sea. The sun was rising into a warm, windless, August sky. The waves lapping the sands of the beach were only inches high. Within minutes Kenny hooked and started to fight a 20-pounder which he soon brought up to the gaff, and then aboard. Then I took a 10-pounder; Ken two more good fish in rapid suc­cession; my turn again.

It was when I cut the motor to play this last fish that I noted the skiff was beginning to pitch and roll. By the time I had the fish up for Ken to gaff, I noticed that he had a hard time keeping his bal­ance in the higher tossing boat . . . it was getting rough, far rougher than we had realized in our excitement of taking fish at will.

Foolishly, we decided to try for one more fish. Hardly had we let our lines out behind the boat when I, nervous now, looked out to sea, to see a tremendous wave rising and starting to form a white crest on its top. We quickly headed the boat to quarter over its top and just made it through a smother of foam that broke almost under our stern in a terrifying roar. Turning care­fully from our position about 200 yards offshore, we looked at the beach eagerly, only to find that it was now a mass of seething foam, made by five- or six-foot waves that

were curling sharply to break on the edge of the beach.

Ocean waves, fortunately, vary in size and in their sequence of breaking on the shore. I held the boat just outside the break of the waves and watched carefully. We were in a bad spot. Once the in­shore waves caught the hoat they could toss it over us before we might be able to scramble out from under.

Finally, we saw that there was a minute or two every now and then when the waves did not break. Picking what we hoped was the right wave, we rode the top of it like you see the Hawaiians riding surfboards, but with our motor throttled down to give us just enough power to keep our headway. With terrifying suddenness we found ourselves smashing down on­to the beach with the wave but, fortunately, with enough water un­der us to cushion the blow.

As we jumped, I heard Ken yell above the din of the surf and saw that the boat had hit a glancing blow on his stern that knocked him flat. Before I could get to him he was on his feet, forcing a pained grin. He was bruised, but not hurt; the boat, fish and tackle were all awash, but we managed to get the boat far enough up the beach so we could hold it until the next wave helped us really get it out of danger.

Not too pleasant an ending to what started out to be a big fishing1 day, but a lesson was learned: keep your eyes open as to what’s going on with wind and weather when you’re on the open sea in a little — or big— boat. It taught us the value of keeping cool, also. Both Ken and I admitted afterwards that we had thought of jumping overboard and trying to swim to what seemed the nearby beach— and that could have been fatal, as even a strong man is no match for a big surf and its ever-present companion, the sucking, powerful undertow that pulls you hopelessly and helplessly under.

To let the salt water angler know that he is toying with something far beyond his control if he fools with the power of the ocean, we’ve told you the foregoing anecdote. Stay ashore if you don’t think you can handle the boat; be sure to have

life preservers aboard for each per­son; have a compass in your tackle kit whenever you’re going onto salt water of any size. These seem like little things in themselves, but just remember that any one of them might well save the life of all aboard.

Fog is one of the most terrifying threats to salt water boat fisher­men. If you keep your eyes open you can see the low, gray banks of it working toward the shore. But sometimes it comes upon you so fast that you cannot get back to the dock or mooring before the blinding blanket has sur­rounded you. I have been caught three times in a bad fog that last­ed for hours— and I want no more of it. Once I thought I knew more than the compass— a fatal decision, please remember— and only a sud­den offshore wind, which lifted the fog in time, prevented me from heading offshore instead of inshore to safety.

Get it solidly into your head that a good compass knows where north (and all other points) really are.

One of the most dangerous spots for even experienced boatmen is the narrow inlet Leading from a large bay or harbor into the open sea. At dead low and high tide, these passages are at their calmest. However, on a running tide, half in or half out, the currents can be strong enough in certain areas to defy even a five-horse motor letting your boat make any headway. Therefore, if you are planning to go from a harbor, inlet or river mouth out into the open ocean, it is a pretty good idea to plan to come back in when you have the tide running with you, rather than against you.

Even though most every one knows that we have Coast Guard regulations, if you are beginning your salt water fishing with your own boat, be sure to contact the nearest Coast Guard station and have them send you (free of charge) their safety regulations. You will find, for instance, that in boats over a certain length the Coast Guard requires you to have running lights, fog horn, and life preservers. There are heavy fines which can be imposed if you vio­late these regulations which are, after all, made for your own safety.

Distress Signals Tide TableS O S : . . . ------- . . .

BY DAY— Continuous or regular sounding of foghorn or whistle, or regular discharges of a gun. Set off smoke bomb, preferably when distant help is in sight. Hoist en­sign upside down, or hoist any square object over a round one. In the International Code, the flag sig­nal is N C.

BY N IGHT— Same signals with foghorn or gun.

Set off flares or any burning ob­ject, like oil-soaked rags or oil, to leeward of boat. If any lights are visible, flash S O S with the most powerful light on board, but even a flashlight may bring help. If you have radio telephone, call the C G or ask the nearest operator to con­vey your message at once.

NOTE: Call the C G only in cases of real distress. Otherwise, ask the operator to call them. When help arrives be ready with megaphone and throwing line.

Any of those soluble coffees may make it possible to get away even earlier in the morning when there is a long run ahead. And there’s always the thermos bottle to speed it up further.

WHY E X P E C T F R E E DOCKAGE?When an owner leaves his 16’

$2,000 car in a garage he expects to pay a parking charge. But the same owner, when he ties up his 40’ $20,000 boat to a dock, counting on water, electricity, washroom, mail, transportation, and other services, may feel he should not be asked to pay any docking charge whatever. But the fact is that a dock is a very expensive sort of operation with only a half year— unlike the garage’s full year— in which to earn its overhead. Most docks make no charge the first night for customers who have bought fuel. But it seems unreasonable for a boat owner to object to the usual small charge for what is really a lot of expensive service.

A little reflection on the m atter should make the charges seem just — even low. And, happily, one al­most always has the alternative of anchoring out, which is entirely free.

When in trouble anchor. But you can’t do this quickly unless the anchor and lines are always rigged and ready.

Canvas covers for hatches, ven­tilators, and the like are not ex­pensive and may keep out a lot of water.

The time to clean those gas filters is when the boat is calm and the engine not running. It is a lot easier than waiting until the line is clogged and a rough sea is anxious to slam you against a hotp n c n n p

Important features of Ocean City Inductor Reels are shown in this series of pictures. From top to bot­tom: (1) Magnets used in all these reels to control backlash are riveted to a metal disc by means of a bench punch press. (2) The gap between the magnets and the bi-metallic in­ductor plate affixed to the alum­inum spool is controlled by a cam in the plate assembly at the left.The principle of controlling back­lash through magnetic induction is a joint development of General Electric and the Ocean City Manu­facturing Company. This exclusive feature eliminates the necessity of thumbing the line while casting, making these reels ideal for day and night fishing. (3) An inspector checks an assembled right side plate of an Ocean City No. 255 In­ductor Reel. This plate contains all the gears used in the operation of the level wind. (4) Here is a close-up view of the No. 255, first level-wind. surf reel put on market.

Some steps in the making of a glass fishing rod are illustrated in these pictures showing the manu­facturing of Montague Holloglass Rods. From top to bottom: (1)Tapered steel mandrel is positioned on a pattern of resin-impregnated glass cloth before being machine- rolled. (2) After cellophane tape has been wound on the rolled rod blanks to enable them to hold their shape during oven cure, rods are hung on racks leading into oven.The heat combines resin and glass.(3) Following the during process, mandrel is pulled out of rod, which is now in rough form. (4) Finished blanks are flexed to detect possible flaws. These hollow blanks are sanded or rubbed smooth and coat­ed with varnish, lacquer, or resin.The butt, guides, and reel seat then are assembled to form finished rod.

Catching Stripers in the SurfThe most popular salt-water

game fish along the Atlantic coast is the striped bass. More salt-water anglers pursue this silvery, dark- striped beauty than any other single salt-water game fish. And the strip­er deserves this popularity for it takes natural and artificial baits, fights hard when hooked, reaches a good size and makes delicious eating. They range over a wide area and can be caught in the surf, bays, sounds, inlets and rivers.

But it is in the surf that the striper is at its best, providing unique, thrilling fishing which a t­tracts thousands of anglers who fish mostly for striped bass and ignore all other species. These surf ang­lers will travel hundreds of miles, spend plenty of money, stay up all night, miss meals, fish in rain and storm and cast until arm-weary just to hook one or two stripers.

Success in surf fishing for striped bass depends on many factors such as tide, wind, weather, water con­ditions, presence of bait fish or other food, the proper lure or bait, their correct manipulation, casting skill, persistence, stamina and some luck. Even the veteran angler doesn’t meet with consistent suc­cess in striper fishing. However, he does acquire a certain amount of knowledge and skill which makes it possible for him to take fish when the novice or less skillful angler has little or no luck.

We won’t go into much detail on tackle because most rods, reels and lines made by reputable manufac­turers for surf fishing will perform well and give you your money’s worth. There is a choice between bamboo rods and glass rods. As for

By V la d E v a n o f f

reels, any one of the medium or higher-priced surf fishing models holding 200 yards of 9-thread linen or 36-pound-test nylon will serve the purpose. Of course, you’ll also need rubber boots, or, better yet, waders; and other accessories such as waterproof jackets, beach bag, sand spike, rod belt, gaff hook, fish stringer and knife, all of which may be acquired as needed.

To catch stripers under most con­ditions the surf angler will have to carry an assortment of lures. This selection should include metal squids, plugs and rigged eels. The metal squids imitate bait fish such as mullet, menhaden, herring and sand eel. The plugs are deadly lures when the stripers are feeding on bait fish which swim near the sur­face. The rigged eel is a wonderful lure for big striped bass, especially at night, and are usually 9 to 18 inches long with one to three hooks.

When the striped bass aren’t in­terested in artificial lures the surf angler should bring along some na­tural baits. These can be either clams, crabs, sea worms, squid, bait fish like mullet, menhaden, herring, sand launce or silversides, which­ever they prefer at the time.

Along the New Jersey coast strip­er fishing is usually good in June, slowing down during July and August and generally good from September to early November. At the beach the fish may betray their presence by attracting gulls and terns which circle and dive to feed on bait fish driven to the surface by hungry stripers. Or the stripers will swirl and break water them­selves. The bait fish may skip out of the water trying to avoid the

jaws of the stripers. Inlets empty­ing into the ocean are good spots to fish for stripers since they abound in marine life and are thorough­fares for the fish entering and leav­ing the bay or sound. Along sandy beaches, jetties and breakwaters are popular striper fishing spots and here the fish like to lie and feed alongside the structures and in front of them where the backwash of the waves and tides creates strong rips and currents. Along the open beaches the stripers congre­gate around sand bars and in sloughs where crashing waves stir the bottom and expose clams, crabs, sea worms and make it easier for the stripers to catch the smaller bait fish.

Striped bass feed most actively when the water is rough and the best time to fish is when there is a moderate or strong onshore wind, ground swells or a storm. During the summer months the best fish­ing often takes place at dusk, dur­ing the night and early in the morn­ing. There are exceptions, of course, such as when there is cloudy weather and the water is rough during or after a storm. But gen­erally on the bright, sunny, sum­mer days the fish like to wait until dark to move in close to shore. Dur­ing the fall of the year when the water gets colder and the fish are schooled up and actively feeding there is often good fishing during the middle of the day. But if the water is too calm and clear the stripers are easier to fool at night or when the water gets rough. The period following a storm is gener­ally an excellent time to hit the beach for stripers.

A Knowledge of the Rules of the Road and a Sense of Good Sports­manship Are the Basis of Courtesy

Afloat Mind Your Sporting MannersBy R o b e r t U h l

The cheery wave between rented outboard and hundred-thousand- dollar yacht is a cherished tradition of the waterways. To keep alive this good fellowship, we need to know and observe the simple rules of good manners afloat, whether we put out in a skiff, a canoe, or a twin-engine sport fisherman.

Certainly no one is more inno­cent in his intentions than the row­boat fisherman. Yet, out of simple ignorance, he can cause inconven­ience, trouble, even real hazards for other boatmen as well as him­self. On navigable water this is particularly true in the m atter of anchoring. Fishing may be good in the middle of a busy channel or channel intersection — though it’s probably just as good at the edge. Larger vessels have to use the deep­er water of mid-channel. I t ’s often difficult for them to steer around an armada of anchored boats w ith­out risking collision with another ship or running aground if the channel is narrow. Their wash also makes things uncomfortable — sometimes dangerous— for the row- boatmen. Anchor where you will not be in the way.

Boats, big or little, should not drop their hooks, drift or troll back and forth near or under a bridge where there is heavy marine traffic. There’s too little maneuvering room for other craft between the abut­ments and the pilings. An ap­proaching vessel may not spot an anchored skiff until too late. Simi­larly, making fast to any type of navigation buoy is dangerous, be­cause it obscures its visibility. All these common practices are illegal as well as inconsiderate.

One boat should never cut close behind another that is trolling or, for that matter, go any closer than necessary to any fishing boat in action,. If you must pass closely, slow down and watch out for lines. Remember* when you are not fish­

ing yourself, you never have right of way over a boat tha t is trolling in legal waters. The trolling boat, especially if it is fishing more than one line, can tu rn only on a wide axis and needs to maintain its tro ll­ing speed. Above all, stay clear if you see a guy fighting a fish.

When chumming for weakfish or tuna, boats often lie close abreast. I t is unfair, however, to anchor so closely tha t your chum stream in­terferes with that of adjacent boats. Never, never run across a chum line or gun your engines so hard when swinging and setting your anchor th a t you disrupt nearby chum lines. When a number of boats are working a school of fish, everyone will be better off if they troll the edges of the school. If just one boat runs through the school, the fish will probably sound.

When several boats are fishing the banks and shallows of the same water, it is discourteous for one to cut in close ahead of another. I ’ve had boats come in close enough to overlap and foul my cast! Fall striper fishermen in salt water will sometimes troll close off a point where there is an occupied duck blind. If the gunners were there first, the fishermen should respect their precedence.

While there are some serious dif­ferences of opinion between salt water sport fishermen and com­mercial fishermen, those differences will not be resolved by cutting up the commercial fisherman’s gear. I have seen a power boat deliber­ately run through and cut open the leader nets of three floating traps off the Connecticut shore. That skipper saved half a mile, and cost the fisherman maybe a thousand dollars. Give nets a wide berth.

Obviously, a person with local knowledge of tricky waters should try to warn boats standing into danger. I remember once down on the Chesapeake hailing a man

in an anchored skiff. “How much water is there here?” I asked. “Couple of billion gallons,” he an ­swered. A moment later my boat was aground on a sand bar.

Many people seem to forget that rowboats and canoes are also sub­ject to certain rules and regula­tions. Some of these rules have the force of law; others are cus­toms that operate for the benefit of everyone. When two boats ap­proach each other in a winding channel, each should keep to the starboard or right side. This is especially important at a bend in a river or channel where approach­ing boats cannot be clearly seen. A b o a t proceeding upstream, whether powered by machinery or hand, can maintain a degree of steerageway without forward mo­tion, and in narrow waters should stop until a boat moving with the current (thus less manageable) has safely passed. Use common sense in applying rules of the road.

If you have another boat in your danger zone (on a converging course to starboard) and plan to change course, do it early and do it decisively. A visible swing of your bow to port or starboard is a more helpful indication of your intention than all the half-remem­bered whistle signals in the book. Delay on your part leaves the other skipper, who is compelled by law to hold his course and speed if he has the right of way, wondering if you see him or if perhaps you’ve abandoned the wheel for a quick turn below. One of the banes of every rowboatman or canoeist is the powerboat that heads directly a t him and shifts course only at the last moment. There’s no more excuse for this sort of mental to r­ture by powerboatmen than for the lethal “chicken” game of hot­rod motorists.

1953 TrendsMany a significant straw shows

which way the recreational wind is blowing. All point to a m ighty mass movement toward the water.

Just look about on our harbors, rivers, lakes, bays, sounds and streams. Many a $100,000 yacht of yesteryear has been replaced by a hundred $1,000 boats. For e v e r v one who formerly enjoyed what was once regarded as an exclusive, expensive luxury, today there are scores of boatmen from every in­come bracket turning to the water for recreation.

Behind this, of course, lie eco­nomic trends. But beyond that, too, is the growing awareness all over the country that no recreation can compare with boating in its rich rewards — whether experienced from the sun deck of a yacht or the tiny cockpit of a m iniature cruiser.

Mounting registration figures of numbered boats fail to reveal the full scope of the great trend. State waterways are dotted with unregis­tered watercraft; millions of out­boards under 16 feet and miscel­laneous craft driven by sails, pad­dles and oars ply federal and state waterways and add up to an as­tonishing seven-figure total.

The investment in pleasure craft now is greater than ever— but the base is infinitely broader. A cross- sectional representation of boat ownership today might be depicted as a pyramid rather than a pin­nacle, with a correspondingly more substantial foundation.

But the point is this: for the man of simpler tastes and limited means, there is a tremendous choice in boats, whether i t’s racing or cruising, sailing or fishing, canoe­ing or camping he inclines toward.

Campers and vacationists come from hundreds, even thousands,

By th e E d ito rs of M o to r B o a t in gof miles away, towing their boats astern on the highway at touring speeds on sturdy trailers, or strap­ping them on the car top by means of carrier equipment. Manufactur­ers of both boats and trailers have given full recognition to the de­mand for lightweight boats and equipment suitable for this type of overland transportation.

For those who have no boats of their own, boat liveries have been opened where the family can hire a boat— inboard or outboard, sail or motor— for a day’s fishing or just plain fun. Sometimes they bring their own outboard motors in the car trunk. This rental business has called for new types of safe, sturdy, roomy utility boats, able to w ith­stand misuse in the hands of nov­ices, yet easy on upkeep.

Education has played a vital role in stimulating widespread boating interest. Roughly, 20,000 members of the United States Power Squad­rons throughout the land spread the gospel of intelligent, capable boat handling in free courses of in­struction at more than 100 different centers of boating activity.

With this tremendous expansion in boating arises a pressing need for increased facilities of every kind to berth and service the new craft. Waterways must be dredged and maintained, boat basins and ma­rinas constructed, harbors im­proved and protected. Pleasure craft now ply the Intracoastal Waterway in greater numbers— even in mass cruises— both inboard- and outboard-powered.

One of the best indications of the trend to smaller craft is the almost-sudden recognition of the outboard cruiser. A few years ago when they first came to public a t­tention, we ventured to predict tha t

we’d be hearing more about them. Today you can take your pick from a score of makes. The powerful 25 h.p. motors, of course, have had a great deal to do with the popular­ization of this type, which combines cruising facilities for a couple with speeds of 20 to 25 m.p.h.

And then there are the kit boats. If you can’t afford a finished boat but are reasonably handy with tools, you can assemble your own from prefabricated parts. In the smaller sizes, the availability of marine grade waterproof plywood has had much to do with this trend. On the other hand, if your yen is for a 30-foot cruiser, you can get that, too, today in kit form. One manufacturer of kits even, offers standardized kits of hydro­foils for application to one of his small fast hulls.

Some of the large manufacturers offer boats in both kit and complete form. One is prepared to supply just about anything from an 8- foot pram to a 63-foot motor yacht — 123 models to choose from! Many of these embody the refinements associated with the luxury of living ashore and the convenience of land transportation by car.

We hear more and more about the so-called utility boats— plain, substantial, economical, small craft for general use. The frills have been eliminated, and features ac­centuating practical service with reasonable upkeep have been stressed.

In the racing field, a trend is to be noted in the availability of stand­ardized models, including stock out­boards suitable for entry in long­distance marathons which are so much in the public eye today. They a ttrac t hundreds of entrants.

C m in o r Boring '/

Let’s Have an American Pavillion d’OrIt seems to us that one end of

this great sport has been more or less neglected and perhaps there may be a means of increasing in­terest and improving the enjoyment of our boats. There are all kinds of races for outboards. There are plenty of races for runabouts and, of course, we all know that the sailors really never do anything else but race! But how about the cruisers ? When you get right down to it there are in many places more power cruisers than any other type of boat, yet races for them are few and far between, despite all the work the A. P. B. A. has done to try to promote such racing.

To be perfectly frank about it, predicted log racing for power cruisers is not popular and for every boat that enters such a race, there are thousands that show not the slightest amount of interest. Here in the New York area where there are probably more cruisers than anywhere else in the country, the annual predicted log race to Block Island sees only a few boats starting. Why?

Because men want to use their boats for pleasure. Most men spend a good part of their time figuring on profits, losses, prices, taxes and so on and when this sort of thing is carried out to their cruiser rac­ing— they don’t race cruisers. The thing is basically wrong on the face of it. If it were right you would see all kinds of entries in cruiser races. Now, if they get 10 or 15 boats in such a race they feel that something has really been accom­plished.

But, let’s take a look at what is going on elsewhere. Abroad some 150 cruisers of all types took part in a sort of race-cruise this year

A Frank Statement on Predicted Log Racing

and they came from far and near and had a darn good time of it. Each year the entry list of the Pa­villion d’Or goes up by leaps and bounds. Why? Because they have fun. Because they don’t have to spend weeks figuring it all out. Be­cause they get together and in four or five languages, they eat, drink, and talk and have a wonderful time. The Pavillion d’Or is the greatest event for cruisers on rec­ord anywhere. Why can’t we do it here with twice as many boats to draw on?

In the Pavillion d’Or they don’t race. They set a point of rendez­vous, maybe 100 miles away. This year it was Paris and they met down the Seine and made a marine parade to the City of Light. They were feted by the mayors of towns, clubs, chambers of commerce. They went on sight-seeing tours —• to­gether, and they had a wonderful time. They came from many dif­ferent places. Prizes? Sure. Dozens of them for such things as the boat with the best kept log; the one that took the best pictures; the one with the lady skipper; the boat with the most beam ; boat with the best cook — best drink mixer, best looking hostess, best this and best that and so on until nearly everyone gets a prize. Why not? Look at the fun they had and look at what it has done to get the cruising men to­gether. We need it here badly. Our predicted log racing is getting so complicated that no one but an accredited C. P. A. can ever hope to understand it. Let’s have an Amer­ican Pavillion d’Or. What club will s ta rt it off?

New Jersey’s long history was in Cape May County.

They bought it from the Indians, and the deed was recorded in strictly legal fashion. It set a precedent, because land acquired in New Jersey from the Indians seems always to have been purchased, never taken by force.

Outboarding Is BoomingBy F r a n k B a te s

Secretary, Delaware River Yachtsmen's League Secretary-Treasurer, Region No. 3, A. P. B. A.

World’s records are still tumbling on all sides as taster and taster outboards and speedboats make speeds thought impossible a mere decade ago.

Increased speeds are not gained these days in the boating world at the expense oi safety. On the other hand at every meeting which has to do with outboard and speedboat rules and plans, one oi the first questions asked is, how can we make it SAFER? And, believe it or not, there is rarely an accident these days even though speedboats are traveling far over 100 miles per hour, and outboards are not too far behind them.

Many see in the high speed:; of 20th century boat racing the cure ol so-called “hot-rodding” on the highway.

Give the youth of today a fast boat, and soon he gets all the speed he wants, without endangering his own and many other peoples’ lives on the highways.

Believe it or not,, when you are traveling at 100 or 75, or even 50 miles per hour in a boat, the riding is not smooth. The days ol bronco- busting are truly back. But safety has not been discarded.

It can even be truthfully said that when a teen-age youth travels 30 miles per hour on the water, he soon loses hi:; ambition for greater speeds either afloat or ashore, and then confines his hopes and goals to winning races rather than en­dangering his own or other people’s lives, so frequently seen by the mis­fits and morons who go in for hot- rodding.

Here we have one of the reasons

why outboarding is booming among American youth; why the Albany to New York marathon, over a skimpy 130-mile distance, last summer attracted only 270 starters all of whom paid an entrance fee for the privilege of competing in that event; why on the Delaware River in 1952 there were 20 or more outboard regattas which av­eraged 50 entries per regatta; why outboard motors are still scarce de­spite constant climb oi price.

You and I know that the irre­sponsible automobilist, the teen-age show-off, the hot-rodder must be erased from today’s traffic if many of today’s bad accidents are to be prevented tomorrow.

But there is more to it than that. We all know the thrills of boating as we have enjoyed i t ; we all know how enjoyable it is for the younger generation; how it is the diversion for spirited young Americans who are growing up with modern sci­ence, and new developments on every hand which a few short years ago were unknown and considered impossible.

Recognition of the rapid rise of fast boat popularity has played a part in the growth of the Delaware River Yachtsmen’s League from an organization of six or seven clubs to its present 22-club member­ship over a 20-year span, and the growth of the American Power Boat Association to an organiza­tion of many thousands of club and individual members from coast to coast, in the same time.

It has been truthfully said that much of America’s progress and world leadership are due to the tre ­

mendous development of the gaso­line motor here, and that such progress is only beginning. Surely the coming generation of boatmen is rapidly becoming expert on the gasoline engine.

The year 1953 will see more and greater strides in powerboats of all sizes, from coast to coast. South Jersey will be no exception, for the Winding River Boating Associa­tion has two APBA-sanctioned re­gattas scheduled at Millville July 4 and Labor Day, and Sea Isle City and Ocean City clubs will be very much in the limelight.

Here’s hoping for the best year yet.

Courtesy Y a c h t in g MagazineI will live up to the Right of Way

Rules even if the other boat is smaller and I think I can cross her anyhow.

But I will not demand my own rights to the point of driving less maneuverable vessels out of their courses.

I will anchor only where there is no danger of giving an already- anchored or moored boat a foul berth.

I will use heavy and sound ground tackle so that my boat can’t drag down on others.

I will periodically inspect my mooring.

I will not run my generator all evening in port.

I will lie at the club dock or the fuel barge only as long as absolute­ly necessary when others are wait­ing.

I will not “borrow” dinghies, oars or rowlocks at the club float late at night and keep them until morning.

I will use my radio telephone only briefly and when necessary and not clutter up the circuit with gabbling.

I will not monopolize the club launch for avoidable trips ashore, or keep her waiting alongside.

I will not carry sails obscuring my running lights at night.

I will operate in harbors and near other boats at speeds at which my boat doesn’t pull a big wash.

I will not take out guests who can’t swim.

I will learn the racing rules and live up to them.

I will not bore my friends stiff with race post-mortems.

I will not dump refuse in harbors or near shore.

I will have a thorough under­standing with the yard as to who does what work and for how much.

I will give my yard boss, sail- maker and engine man orders now for work I want done by spring.

I will not let my sanding, scrap­ing or trash-dumping at the yard mess up my neighbor’s fresh paint job.

I will not stall so that my boat blocks others off from launching in the spring.

I will not unnecessarily hurry the yard on spring outfitting, and then wait until October to pay for the work done.

Help in Case of AccidentsDROWNING — 1. Loosen the

clothing, if any. 2. Empty lungs of water by laying body on stom­ach and lifting it by the middle so that the head hangs down,. Jerk the body a few times. 3. Pull the tongue forward, using handker­chief, or pin with string, if neces­sary. 4. Im itate motion of respir­ation by alternately compressing and expanding the lower ribs about 20 times a minute. Alternately raising and lowering the arms from the sides up above the head will stimulate the action of the lungs. Let it be done gently, but persist­ently. 5. Apply warm th and fric­tion to extremities. 6. By holding tongue forward, closing the nos­trils and pressing the “Adam’s ap­ple” back (so as to close entrance to stomach), direct inflation may be tried. Take a deep breath and breathe it forcibly into the mouth of patient, compress the chest to expel the air, and repeat the oper­ation. 7. DON’T GIVE UP! Peo­ple have been saved after hours of patient, vigorous effort. 8. When breathing begins, get patient into warm bed, give warm drinks, or spirits in teaspoonfuls, fresh air and quiet.

BURNS AND SCALDS — Cover with cooking soda, and lay wet cloths over injury. Whites of eggs and olive oil. Olive oil or linseed oil, plain or mixed with chalk and whiting. Sweet or olive oil and lime water.

S U N STR O K E— Loosen clothing. Get patient into shade and apply ice-cold water to head. Keep head in elevated position.

FA IN T IN G— Place flat on back; allow fresh air and sprinkle with water. Place head lower than rest of body.

H E M O R R H A G E — The usual treatment is rest in the recumbent position; small pieces of ice should be freely swallowed, and the appli­cation of ice wrapped in a towel, or in an ice bag, or snow, cold wa­ter, etc., over the stomach; hot ap­plications may be applied to the extremities.

F IR E IN A BU ILD ING— Crawl on the floor. The clearest air is the lowest in the room. Cover head with woolen wrap, wet if possible. Cut holes for the eyes.

IN ANY CASE, DON’T GET EX­CITED!

S ta t io n sBoat owners having radio receiv­

ers or direction finders covering the 200 to 385 kc. band may be able to pick up interesting and valuable up - to - the - minute weather data broadcasts by one or more of the Civil Aeronautics Administration airfield control towers in their vi­cinity. These broadcasts are now being made at 15 and 45 minutes after each hour and include reports on visibility, barometer readings, wind directions and velocity, at five to 10 different airfields or observa­tion points in the area surrounding the station making the report. These are not forecasts but offer valuable information on the prog­ress of changes previously fore­cast.

If there is no white marine gas available, don’t be afraid occasion- ly to use a little leaded gas, par­ticularly when doing a lot of run­ning. It may even do your engine some good.

Polaroid glasses often make it possible to see the bottom when it would otherwise be invisible due to refracted light.
