Boat Identification
Rules are Outlined
Coost Guord Requires
Plain Lettering

Advance word of new regula-
tons covering the Identification
of pleasure craft owned by Ma
comb county boatmen was given
this morning by Commander
Henry Vandenbossche of the To-
cal Coast Guard auxiliary to
save the tars the trouble of paint
ing on identifying numbers and
letters after their boats have
slipped off the ways into the wa
ter.
All small craft that are regis
tered and that are from l6 feet
up in length must carry their
numbers and letter
ing six to eight inches above the
water line in letter and fig
ures from six to eight inches
high. All craft from 20 feet to
40 feet in length must carry the
same numbers and letters 10
inches above the water line and
letters and figures must be 10
inches high. The letters and fig
ures on craft from 40 feet to 60
feet in length must be ID inches
above the water line and must
be 10 inches high and on craft
longer than so feet the letters
and figures must be "a inches
above the water line and "a
inches high.
In addition to the letters and
figures on the sides of the boats,
there must be similar letters and
figures painted on the deck or
cabin top in the same dimensions
to make the craft readily identi-
fable from the air. In addition,
it is pointed out the letters and
figures must be colors in con-
trast with those of the back
ground.
The new regulations will be
rigidly enforced on and after
June | and boat owners will save
themselves time and effort by
painting now before they have
their boats in the water, Com
mander Vandenbossche said.

Great fires were reported rag

All. to have proposed peace to
Britain three times since mid
March, basing this spring often
sive upon a nfie-page Goering
memorandum which would give

Freedom for concentration of

front-ending of Allied aerial
blows and the threat of new
land action in the west--was the
reported aim of Adolf Hitler's
government.
British officials disclaimed
knowledge of any such over
lures and, although newspapers
freely discussed a possibility
that Italy would drop out of the
war, there was no direct au-
thoritative or journalistic dispo-
sition to place much stock in
rumors about Axis peace feel
