1--WE haven't put a dent in the
number of boats here that can be
inspected by the Coast Guard
Auxiliary"
That is the way Frank Courtney
division captain Of the Washington
Auxiliary, sums up the organiza-
tons second annual drive for in
spection of yachts in this area.
One way you look at it this year:
program is about so per cent ahead
Of 1947, but from a purely statistical
standpoint. the showing is not toe
good.
Trained inspectors Of the auxil-
larry have checked "a yachts this
season as against so at the same
time year ago.
But that's very small percentage
of the total pleasure craft based at
clubs and yacht basins here. The
harbormaster's Office, for instance
estimates there are around 1000
power driven craft in the area.
Inspection Costs Nothing.
The inspection service offered by
the auxiliary is without charge
requires from 80 minutes to an
hour and does not entail any report
to Government authorities in the
event of finding of irregularities
It's biggest advantage, as the
auxiliary people see it, is the pre-
vention of accidents and possibly
even the. saving of lives. Capt
Courtney points out that there
hasn't been single accident on any
yatch that has passed inspection
this season and last.
Courtney's right hand man in the
courtesy inspection is Kenneth Rob-

take warning. The Izaak Walton

to try to stamp out this sort OF thing
Boat captains who fish the area

Deep-Water Harbor
lis Boon on Illinois

A deep water harbor with depths
ranging from "a to n feet was
completed recently on the Illinois
River five miles above Peoria, ILL.,,
at 4 cost OF approximately 500, 000
according to DR.. Fred M. r. Meix-
ner, 4 member Of the National
Waterfront Improvements Commit
tee and the group responsible for
planning the project. The harbor
and its protective breakwater were
built through the cooperation of
the Ivy Club and the United States
Corps of Engineers.
Located on . busy waterway
which links the Mississippi River
and the Great Lakes, the halbor
offers slips for members of the Ivy
Club and for transient yachtsmen.
The creation Of these new facilities
will do much to eliminate conges-
ton and traffic hazards on the river.
Until recently boats moored to shore
with their bows projecting out into
the river constituted q menace to
navigation.

Word was received in the United

his plan to compete in the Gold Cup
race to be run on the Detroit River

After working for several months

submitted the outfit to some highly
satisfactory time trials. On check
ing with South African shipping
authorities, however, Bothner was

AS a result, Bothner will view the
event from the stands rather than

Pilots Of 1855 Press
For Places in Race
For Jafco Trophy

NEW YORK, July 3o.-With the
season = long competition in 1885,
cubic inch hydroplanes now about
half over, the intrepid speed mer-
chants who run in this class in the
East and the West are pressing hard
for the honor of representing their
part of the country in a match race
for the Jafco Trophy at Salton Sea,
Calf, in mid-October.
Leading boat in the Eastern divi-
sion is Hot Stuff, owned by Gail
c. Winter and driven by ]. B. Bre-
gand, both of Detroit. Hot Stuff is
the only craft to have competed in
all seven Eastern regattas at which
Jafco points were awarded.
On the Western circuit, where
Jafco competition hO been staged
at six regattas to date, the Los An
geles owner-driver combination OF
Joe Moore and Morlan Visel has
campaigned actively to build up q
slight lead with their fast running
Little Joe.
With the exception Of the Gold
Cup class, where the competition
for annual National honors is de-
cisive, the only inboard hydroplane
division from which truly repre-
sentative champion will emerge this
year is the "135" class, now favored
with an East-West elimination Sc
ries climaxed by the match race for
the Jafco Trophy.
The present status of the top
owners in the two circuits shows
that the competition is a little
tighter on the West Coast, where
the first five are separated by the
comparatively narrow margin OF $50
points. In the East, on the other
hand, the spread between the first
and the fifth boat is 3,077 points

But he may be arrested again
with three other members of his
sect unless they submit to an order
to send their sons to school.
The farmer, Sam Bontrager, was

that his son, Reuben, Ia. must at

will be one, too" he said. Il never

That only one food should be

should be eaten; that onions are
good medicine for the liver; that let

garlic is good in cases of hardening
of the arteries; that spinach is good
for muscles.
Further nonsense, he adds, are
the beliefs that there are such
things as brain food, hair food.
skin food and eye strengtheners, or
that certain foods can determine the
sex of unborn babies.

Window Washers Grip on
Rope Saves Him From Fall

CHICAGO.-Dimitry Parhomenko,
SO. is a man with an iron grip.
He was washing windows on the
fifth floor of a Michigan avenue
building when his safety rope broke.
AS he tumbled backward from the
sill, his left hand caught the rope
end.
For 10 minutes he dangled while
fremen rushed to the scene, spread
a safety net, and then raised a lad
der which he grasped.
Parhomenko, who weighs $50
pounds and is five feet, five inches
tall, said that in falling his body
turned so that it came to rest with
his back against the building and
his left arm twisted as it held the
rope.

to anywhere near where the rope
was" he said. 81 had a good grip
and didn't want to struggle"
Asked by a reporter If he was
going back to work, he replied, IT
