BONNER URGES BIG
NEW SISTER SHIP
OF UNITED STATES
Commerce and Defense Needs
SAT Million Vessel to Rank
With Other Nations

Washington, D. C.-Hon. Her
bert G. Bonner (D-N. CO., Chair
man, Committee on Merchant Ma
rine and Fisheries, has introduced
a bill authorizing the construc-
ton by the Federal Maritime
Board of a sister ship to the SIS
UNITED STATES.
Under the provisions of the, bill,
the ship would be constructed by
the Maritime Board and sold to
the United States Lines at a fixed
price of $47,OOO,OOO. Mr.. Bonner
pointed out that the needs of both
commerce and defense require such
a vessel and the record of the
UNITED STATES in CARRYING
the American Flag in competition
with the leading passenger YES
sells of other nations justify the
action. The SIS AMERICA-pres-
emily operating in the Atlantic
passenger services becoming
obsolete and is reaching point
where its continued operation will
impose a greater financial burden
both on the Government and the
owner.
There has been a great and in
creasing shortage in both passen-
ger and troop accommodations on
American vessels since World
War II and the new vessel will
help to meet the deficit. Mr.. Bon
ner stated that the fixed price
specified in the bill was designed
to eliminate the extended discus
sions and lawsuits arising out of
the construction under subsidy of
the IS UNITED STATES, the SIS
CONSTITUTION and the SIS. IN
DEPENDENCE.
His complete statement follows:
"Mr. Speaker. / have introduced
bill to authorize the construction
of sister ship to that great flag
ship of the American merchant
marine, the SIS UNITED STATES.
"On August 80, 1889, a great
and significant event occurred.
The steamship AMERICA, the
first passenger vessel to be built
under the farsighted provisions of
the Merchant Marine Act of 1886,
was launched. Two days later, on
September 1, Germany and Russia
Invaded Poland, and World War II

FARM ACCIDENTS TAKE
HEAVY TOLL OF LIVES

The latest available figures on
farm accidents show that more
than $4,000 were killed during the
last IL months, Another million
injuries occurred.
"Take time to think" advises
Howard Ellis, in charge of agri-
cultural engineering for the N. C.
Agricultural Extension Service at
State College. "North Carolina
contributes it's full share to this
tragic loss of life on our farms"
A report on the Fourth District
Rural Health Conference held re-
Gently at Wilson clearly proved
that the physicians in the state
are well aware of the increasing
number of farm and home acct
dents, and they want to partici-
pate in any and all educational
efforts to stress caution and safe
ty practices, says Ellis.
At the conference two brothers,
Bill and Lynwood Beamon OF
Wilson County, told their own
accident stories. These two broth
ers experienced accidents on two
consecutive days, with the same
corn picker. Each time the corn
picker jammed, they carelessly
tried to use their fingers to UNI
clog the machine. The first broth
er lost a thumb and the second
lost two fingers. Both agreed to
keep their hands clear of moving
parts on machinery in the future.
Ellis cites this as just an ex-
ample. Safety cautions read: "Al
ways stop the picker when clean
ing the swapping or husking rolls
or making any other adjustments"
Such accidents are needless. Many
people seriously injure themselves
by falling from improvised step
ladders, such as placing boxes in
chairs or one box on top of an
other, or trying to go up and
down cluttered steps, or leaving
disinfectants within reach of chill
dren.
Safety is not just for the man
operating the corn picker. 1t is
for the secretary in the office, for
the housewife in the kitchen, as
well as for the man operating the
picker declares Ellis.
"In general, safety is a prac-
tice that the average person feels
that everybody else should prac-
tice. Most of us can excuse our
personal errors because we fully
realize why we took the chance.
We are not as inclined to excuse
the other fellow because we OBJ
serve the chance he takes without
listening to his reasons. We should
each of us stop and think"

NEW DRAWBRIDGE OPENING
REGULATION PRESCRIBED

The Corp of Engineers has an
nounced that new regulations have
been prescribed and will become
effective September 9Th to make
it unlawful to require the opening
of bridges across the Intracoastal
Waterway from the Virginia
North Carolina boundary to Key
West, Florida, and tributaries
thereto, for boats carrying "appur-
tenances unessential to naviga-
tion." The new regulation also
provides that any vessel operator
who causes bridge to be opened
in order to clear appurtenances I'M
essential to navigation shall be
considered in violation of the new
regulations.
The new regulation states, in
part:
"Appurtenances unessential for
navigation shall include but not be
limited to fishing outriggers, radio
or television antennae, false
stacks, and masts purely for orna-
mental purposes. Appurtenances
messential to navigation will not
include flying bridges, sailboat
masts, pile driver leads, spud
frames on hydraulic dredges, OF
other items of equipment clearly
necessary to the intended use of
the vessel.
Owners of drawbridges shall
report to the proper district engi-
neer the names of any vessels re-
quiring bridge openings consider
ed to be in violation of this sec
ton. The district engineer may at
any time cause an inspection to be
made of any craft utilizing the
above-captioned navigable waters
and is empowered to decide in each
case whether or not the appurte-
nances are unessential to naviga-
ton. If the district engineer de-
cides vessel has appurtenances
unessential to navigation, he shall
notify the vessel owner of his deci-
sion, specifying a reasonable time
for making the alterations. If the
vessel owner is aggrieved by the
decision of the district engineer,
he may within 80 days after re-
ceipt of the request to perform
necessary alterations, appeal the
decision to the district engineer in
writing. After receipt by the dis
trict engineer, the appeal will be
forwarded through channels to the
Secretary of the Army. If the Sec
rotary rules that an appurtenance
is unessential to navigation, the
district engineer shall again speci-
fy to the vessel owner a reason
able time for making necessary
alterations to the appurtenance,
and after the expiration of the
time specified, any operation of
the vessel of the above-captioned
navigable waters in such a manner
as to require drawbridge openings
shall be deemed in violation of the
regulations of this section, unless
the necessary alterations shall
have been made.
