The Latin Kingdom Of
Jerusalem was established
under Godfrey of Bouillon in
1897 and it lasted under
elected kings until 1887.
Several smaller states or

coast. Each fief enjoyed in
dependence to some extent and
after a while issued its own
coinage.
The art of coinage has al

The many groups and individ-
uals concerned with boating
safety have an excellent chance
to sound off on the issue OF
whether the sport, because of its
wildf1re growth since World War
II. needs any further regulating
by the States or Federal Govern
ment. The forum is the projected
study by the House Merchant

under Craftsmanship of Repre-
sentative Herbert Bonner, DEM
ocrat of North Carolina.
Bonner, who owns a small fish

about boating problems, has in
Dictated keen interest in a sug-
gestion of the National Associa-

facturers that his committee
conduct a broad study. The Out

Endorsed the suggestion.
No dates have been set for the
hearings. which the NAEBM
said well might be broadened to
take in boating centers around
the country.
Study groups at the Coast
Guard have been giving the
small boat problem plenty of
thought. A recent meeting of
it's Motor Boat and Yacht Ad-
visory Panel produced some in
teresting proposals which very
we'll could be aired at the Bon
ner committee hearings, pro-
vided they are held this summer.

The dehumidifier averts the

said, "but Colonel suited him too

memorial to him"

Chambers said the original
Colonel already bore that name
when it was purchased from a
Washington physician.

he said. "but l have done a lot

plans to cruise with Mrs. Cham
