BY MALCOLM LAMBORNE

Washington's three Coast
Guard Auxiliary flotillas are
prepared to launch an expanded
motorboat examination program
that would take in literally hun
dreds of outboards and inboards
Is feet and under. Until this
year the auxiliary's courtesy
checkup Of boats for safety has
been confined to the larger types
of cruisers.
Because of the tremendous
growth of small, family-type
outboards, Coast Guard head
quarters gave the green light to
the expansion program. AS in the
case of bigger craft, the exam
nation is free and wholly VOL
untary.
A boat passing the examina-
ton is given a decal for display
during the year. Admittedly one
of the problems is where an out
board skipper is going to place
his decal. On cruisers. that is
easy: You just paste it on the
windshield.
The important thing, however,
for any owner is to know that
his boat is in generally ship
shape and seaworthy condition.
Here are some of the require
ments for passing the exam:
Have on board an approved life
saver for each person, with a
minimum of two; have required
lights for a Class A boat 16
feet and under) unobstructed
and in good working condition,
also a distress flare. one paddle
or oar. an anchor and adequate
line, and pump or bailer.
Anyone interested in having
his boat checked by an auxiliary
expert should phone Walton G.
Banks. Washington division in

Rose at Jackson 2-7476.
