Gates that mbtor boating is no
longer a fad but a popular sport"
says N. Merrill, local representative
of the Chris-Craft line.
"Prices on the new boats are sur

enthusiastic reception and orders
taken for them the possession Of a
motor boat is no longer the sole
privilege Of a few. The prices o:
many of the popular models this

There's no need to get panicky, because the papers are
full of news of an influenza epidemic. There's no use in
,isolating yourself because a lot of other people arc sick
with it. If you take certain simple precautions every
day-and then don worry = the chances are you will
throw off any ''hu" germs you are exposed to, and
keep well.
Were not recomme ending that you dose yourself
with a lot of medicines, either. Just observe two
,ommon-sensc health rules which can be easily followed.
