HUNTING
A ND

Last weeks Arctic weather
was rough on migratory water
fowl in this area, the Fish
and Wildlife Service reports.
j. Clark Salyer, chief of
Wildlife Refugees, says it was
necessary to start feeding
ducks and geese at several
bad spots" although the Gov
eminent was reluctant to start
such Q program because it
quickly makes "barroom buns
Of the birds.
The big thaw may help the
geese who were hard-pressed
on the Eastern Shore because
drifts covered their browse in
the wheat and rye fields.
Nine to IA inches Of ice
are reported on the Susque-
hanna, the Chesapeake and at
Back Bay, Va, and feeding
programs were started in some
places. Some geese were re.
ported in distress at the Black
water refuge near Cambridge.
Salyer explained that most
Of the ducks are divers and

ducks are reported at Back
Bay and q stock Of food was
accumulated in case the situa-
ton worsened there.

the George Washington Uni

Shoreham.
In his talk. Admiral Rich
mond reviewed the problems
the disease is bringing to the
Coast Guard and suggested
some remedies that might pre-
serve the lives of the sufferer
and his fellow men.
Public Awareness Bright Spot
The admiral mentioned the
efforts of the Bonner Commit
tee to alleviate the problems
but said he doubts its bill will
be passed this session. He saw
a bright spot. however, in pub
lie awareness of the problems.
"Boatitis." the admiral said,
finds a fertile field in the
driver of a motor car, caught
in Sunday traffic. The first
evidence is: Wouldn't it be fine
if we had a boat? No crowds.
No jerk drivers
THE first outward evidence"
he went on. "is, of course, a
boat, the size of which may
vary with the pecuniary status
Of the family. The course of
the disease is quite marked the
first year and is accompanied
by agonized complaints Of the
high cost Of maintenance.
1T is during this period that
the victims learn that the idea
Of every week end on the water
is q deluSion, because by now
they have found that for every
week end cruising, three to
five are spent in scrubbing,
painting and vanishing.
Buys Bigger Boat

where the Inflammation is so
apparent, amputation is usually
the answer, but not in 'boatitis. ;

much better idea Of the size
of the problem, some construc-
tive ideas and a proposed bill.
Actually. the bill does not
greatly modify the present laws
except to require all power
propelled boats to be num-
bered."
FavOrs Penalty Change
The admiral said the Coast
Guard feels a suggested change
in the penalty provision for
reckless operation will be an
improvement if adopted. "Pres-
emily, the penalty provision is
so severe that only in the case
OF a serious accident can O
successful prosecution he had.
Il am skeptical that the bill
will become a law, however,
in this session because it is
a bill that touches a great
many people and there is con-
siderable opposition to it.
I'm the meantime, there are
bright spots. More and more
the public is becoming aware
OF the problem and with that
awarenesS comes knowledge. II
is the opinion Of the Coast
Guard that this is more i'm
portant than any law or regula-
ton"
Offers Advice to Newcomers
For the newcomers to beat
ing, Admiral Richmond had
this advice:
First. in acquiring your
boat. purchase only from repu-
table dealers.
Second, know your boat
from stem to stern and how
it handles under varying con-
ditions. Avoid fire hazards.
Third, If you are a green
horn, don't be ashamed of it.
Get instruction and help from
the Power Squadron or the
Coast Guard Auxiliary.
Fourth, be sure you have
the proper equipment and It is
all Coast Guard approved. This
Is especially true Of life pre-
servers: and. incidentally, don't
use them as cushions or get
them oil or gasoline soaked. Re-
cent experiments show that
kapok exposed to petroleum
products loses a high percent
age Of its buoyancy.
Fifth, should you run into
trouble, don't wait to call the
Coast Guard until it's too late,
Sixth. and this is a corollary
OF the previous rule, give the
itinerary Of your proposed
cruise to a friend. If you are
overdue. we can save a lot OF
time and dollars searching for
you.
Finally, never confuse good
luck with seamanship."
Admiral Richmond could
speak from experience about
small boating, since his family
uses both a runabout and sail
boat. which he prefers, at their
summer place at Plum Point
Md.
Was the admiral's speech 70
the medical society apropos?
DR.. Donald H. Leeper, jr., It's
president and commodore OF
the Rose Haven Yacht Club,
said that half Of the listeners
were boatmen.

.BOATMEN WARNED
TO CHECK CRAFT
FOR ICE DAMAGE

Martin @. Ouke) Har-
ing, measurer Of Corinthian
Yacht Club. has a word Of
warning to Washington
boat owners whose craft
are in the ice there and at
other points along the Po-
tomac and Chesapeake.
Visit the boats soon and
check them over. Haring
points out that the thaw
poses a serious menace.
Inlet pipes for heads or
engines may have frozen
and in thawing can burst,
or seams strained by the
unusual freeze may start
leaking. causing boats to
sink. Another danger is
ice pulling at caulking.
Although only about 3
inches of ice accumulated
at Corinthian, four or five
boats there have developed
serious leaks and will have
to be pulled out for repair,
Haring said.

Of his presence and only for

The raise Grifiith has offered
is a whopping $1,000. While
Roy's salary was $4,000 last

with a $1,000 check on Sievers

send most Of us struggling fell

ball is q peculiar game.
Sievers is 81, with perhaps
three years left on the major
league scene. He may never
have another season like the
one he enjoyed last year. He
can figure on a cut If he has q
bad year. so he figures he has
to rake it in while he's hot.
Most ball players confess
they'd like to be sitting in
Sievers' spot-that he can't
miss. what with being the only
item worth viewing on a cellar
club. They point out that re-
moving ~ home runs and ia
runs batted in from a weak
team could represent disaster.
But Cal is calm. at least on
the surface. "Sievers wanted
$4,000 last year and got Sl9.-

that sooner or later Roy will
start heading in this direction.

Growing serious, Admiral
Richmond said that, unfortu-

operators has not kept pace

There are people operating
