Former Governor Bert NJ. Fernald
Of Maine. president OF the essocla-

veteran motorboat man who has

the other accidents occurred from
leakage and the presence of gasolene ian

unnecessary to warn people using mo
torboats against allowing gasolene to
accumulate in this way. but it would
also seem unnecessary to warn canoe
lists from taking inexpert companions
long distances from shore in their top
ply craft or the plain fool from rock

az it ought to be unnecessary TO repeat
such warnings, because the individual

less there 5 nothing like keeping at it.,

one life. Wherefore the newspapers.

string.
