BY GEORGE FLYNN

The achieving of a state Of
prosperity and stability,
whether in an individual or a
community, often results in a
desire to look to the past for
an examination of the we'll
springs of good fortune.
Falls Chureh--the city that
burgeoned from a placid coun-
try villages now undergoing
such an experience.
It's delving into it's past to
find out what has made it
what it is. Reminders of its
history will be displayed at an
historical exhibition at the
Woodward & Lothrop 7 Cor
ners stores auditorium for five
days starting October "a.
Col. H. L. Campbell, presi-
dent of the Falls Church His
torical Society, one of the
sponsors of the exhibition, said
he hopes the project will pro-
mote community pride and
give a sense of background to
the many new residents of
Falls Church.
200 Items to Be Shown
More than so contributors
already have promised to lend
200 pieces of furniture, China,
costumes. firearms and his
torical documents for the
exhibition.
Much of the searching for
materials for the show has
been the work of Rev. Melvin
Lee Steadman, pastor of the
Fender Methodist Church, who
is preparing a history of Falls
Church.
He concentrated on fewer
than 80 families, Col. Camp
bell related, because the COM
munity of 1000 has only a
handful of residents who trace
their Falls Church ancestry
beyond the War Between the
States.
Thus, the furniture display
will be augmented by pieces

truel On land, we often get depressing feeling
that nobody cares whether we live or die. On
water, we find people are on our side and we're on
the side of people. It's great feeling.

specifically. boating has two very practical advan-
tages you landlubbers ought TO know about
First. it's just about the perfect family sport
The vast majority of new yachtSmen are making
it an a-famy deal; everyone takes turn at the
wheel, son keeps the charts and maps, daughter
helps make fast the lines, mother learns to read
compass and all chip in TO keep the craft ship
shape. Families not only spend weekends on
their boats but whole vacations.

there are pitfalls and disadvantages and wouldn't

about them. If you're aiming to join our navy,
bear these points in mind:
I. There is shortage Of n00ring facilities.

ScrupulouS builders, trying to cash in on the
boom, are selling boats which are poorly designed
and built Of inferior materials. To combat such
sharperS, the industry has formed the American
Boat and Yacht Council which is now formulat-
ing a code of standards for builders. Be careful
buy from reliable dealer.
3. Accidents are getting more numerous. The
us. Coast Guard sums it up neatly: Motor
boats can be great source of pleasure or they
can be menace to life and property" The Coast
Guard is reporting an increasing number of deaths
and injuries due TO reckless boating, overlooking
careleSsness and unfamiliarity with safety rules
Boatmen go too far out in craft not made for deep
water; others forget TO check weather conditions
Accidents need not happen. The answer is
vigilance, plus knowledge obtained from free
courses Of instruction which are available These
are described in the box below.
