, Among the large group Of peo-
pie building their own boats are
two men who have had ample ex-
perience. The rest have had lit
tie or none and are getting their
thrills from the mistakes along
the way.
The Rev. T.. c. CAN'T and c. G.
Westmoreland are currently put
ting the finishing touches on their
fourth boat in the past several
years. While beginners are TAX
ing three months to complete
their boat, the two experienced
hands are turning out the same
boat in two weeks. The 14-footer
begin constructed by the Rev
CAN'T and Westmoreland shows
sign of experts workmanship.
An 1S-foot cabin cruiser that
sleeps two persons is n family
project at the home of Ben l..
Nesmith, Jr., vice-president of the
local bank. He and his two sons,
Frank and Ben III, have been
working on their boat since the
middle of February. They hope
to have it completed by June /.
/ 1t marks the Nesmith's initial
boat building effort but their de-
termination leaves little doubt
that it will be a successful one.
), The Nesmith grandchildren fig
urc into the boat picture as a
tentative name of "Mopsymac"
has been selected. The name is Il
combination of the nickname for
Ben HIS daughter, Martha. Ann,
and Franks son, Mac.
More building activity can be

day. 1t Is q bright spot in the
future Of every citizen. An as
phalt covered dam lends empha-
sis to the beauty Of a concrete
spillway. Two piers have been
built. One of them is covered
and will serve as a spot for fam
lily picnics this summer. II also
houses soft drink machines and
n juke box for the teenagers.
OF particular interest to the
bodybuilding enthusiasts is the
boating area and the concrete
boat landing strip.
Victims of the bodybuilding
fever include a banker, insurance
agents, television repairman
preacher, furniture dealer, crate
factory owners, service station
manager, and many others. The
fever shows no Partially to any
group.
They are building boats that
range from cabin cruisers to
small fishing skiffs. No one will
deny that the official opening of
the Millpond next week has been
the squirting factor in their new
est hobby.
II While most of the work is TAX
ing place in garages. potato ware
houses have proved very adequate
for such a venture. The senti-
ment seems to be that as long as
there is room for pushing a saw
welding a hammer and using a
screw driver there rs ample space
for building a boat.
Sunday Crowds Watch
On a pretty Sunday afternoon
large crowds gather at the Mill.
pond to watch those who have
completed their boats put them
through the acid test-findinp
out whether or not they will
float. Those in the process o.
building are usually on the side
lines to see how their fellow
builder Jared.
by golly, it floats" is a ia
miliar expression at the informa
iaunchings. So far none of tn,
home built craft have sunk blu
the pessimists (whO are not build
ing bOats) are heard remarkin,
you can't beat the law of aver
ages"
III Most of the boats are bein.
constructed for specific use il

the builders are planning to max,
their efforts serve a duel pur
pose. The more adventurous fore
see tricks down the inland water
way while the ardent fishermen
will settle for a skiff that will
get them to their favorite fishin,
grounds and back.
L Wives Play Role
Il Ono important aspect of boa
building that local men hay
learned to respect is the attitud
of the wife. If you are in tn
thinking" stage of boat build
ling, you would be wise to con
slider whether or not your mar
ital relations can stanr the strait
of absenting yourself from tn
immediate vicinity every nigh
for several months. Victims O
the fever quickly tell you tina
every spare moment is spent i
the workshop.
II While most of the boat build
ers report that they have had n
difficulty with their spouse.
. they quickly relate that my wifi
will sure be glad when the las
coat of paint is applied"
II One local man used a bit O
psychology. Instead of leavin,
his wife at home he took her alon,
and put her on the other end O
paint brush. 1t turned my
boat into "our" boat and elimi
mated such questions as "Why d,
you have to spend every spar,
minute working on that oil,
