Oh, the good looking girl on the bow is Nancy Willis of Wiiiiston and the skipper, Logan Whitehurst of Beanfort. Simplified Storm Warnings Went into Use Jan. 1, 1958 The United States Weather Bureau has simplified the system of storm warning signals used to notify boatmen of impending bad weather along the nation's waterways. The new signals were put into effect January 1, 1958, at stations strategically located along the seacoasts, the shores of the Great Lakes, in the Hawaiian Islands and Puerto Hico. The new system, both flags for daytime and lights for night, does not indicate from which direction the expected high winds will come, as did the former signals, but it does give a more accurate indication of the strength of the anticipated winds. The new signals cover four wind forces ? small craft warnings for winds up to 38 statute miles an hour, gale warnings for winds between 39 and 54 mph, whole gale warnings for winds between 55 and 73 mph and hurricane warnings for winds above 74 mph. The signals are: Day Small Craft ? One red pennant. Gale ? Two red pennants, one above the other. Whole Gale ? Single square red flag with black center. Harricane ? Two square red flags with black centers, one above the other. Night Red light over white light. One white light over one red light. Two red lights, one above the other. One white line between two red lights in vertical line. REDUCE RISK Jo the barest mrin'in, 'or a minimum premium John L.

New Alloy for Props Cuts Shaft Vibration A new alloy of nickel-aluminum bronze has been developed by met allurgists for use in boat propel lers and is claimed to provide good fuel economy and reduce shaft vi bration. Using the new alloy, props can now be made 10 per cent thinner than the old manganese-bronze al loys, producing less drag and more power for propelling the boat. The new development permits a reduction in weight of about one fifth putting less strain and burden on the shaft and gears. Boat owners spent $1.9 billion in 1957.
