tion for Infantile Paralysis, an
nounced today. It is Mr. McDonald’s
seventh consecutive ye*r as head
of the fund raising, campaign in
North Carolina.
The March of Dimes, conducted
nationally each January, is the sole

and its 2,800 local county chapters.
Funds contributed to the annual
drive pay costs of medlcaf care and
treatment for polio, victims and

The beginner cannot be expected to
know all ithe fundamentals of small
boat operation, but even a novice
must recognize that some preparation
is required before starting a trip,
states Willard Crandall, boating
authority.
Nat only must proper tools and
equipment be aboard, but weather
must be considered. By weather we
mean, principally, wind. Swamping
or upsetting from big waves is the
greatest hazard of small boating.
There are "no hard and fast rules as
to what size waves a novice can
tackle, but if water sloshes in, or
even threatens to, the safety margin
has long been passed.
The newcomer to boating should,
stick to sheltered waters until thor
oughly familiar with his crafit. One
of his toughest jobs is to learn to
avoid collisions with objects under- i
water. Here are a few elementary I
rules:
Don’t start the outboard unless
headed straight out toward clear
water, and with at least six inches
of water under the lowest part of the
motor. Never start an outboard
where it is too congested and unnec
essarily shallow.
When underway, avoid weedbeds;
don’t go too close to shore, and slow
down or stop at once if logs or rocks
are present, or if shallow bottom is
seen passing under the boat. Stay
well clear of jutting points of land.
Reduce speed if any man-made ob-
When the "small fry" reluctantly trudge off to school,
send them well equippedl We’ve selected several items
to offer at special prices to help in your preparations.

structions are seen above water. Keep
speed down off rocky shores. Treat
all floating objects with respect and
stick to marked channels in Unfamil
iar waters.
' The beginner must learn never to
underestimate the power of waves,
or to take chances with them. Par
ticularly must he guard against
swells of other boats and he must
not carelessly erwamp a smaller boat
with his own wake. Always head into
dangerous waves. This is an invar
iable rule of boating.
Making the landing, the final atep
in boat operation, is something that
can be learned only by experience.
It is better for a beginner to err on
the side of a too-slow landing until
he has learned the beat speed, and
just how to handle the boat at that
speed.
Republics end thrqugh luxury; mon
archies through poverty.
