But, in fairness, 1 must admit there are

To keep their budget in bounds, the

clothing and entertainment
Even So" Mrs. Feldman said, "our
grocery bill has gone up to '$30-$35 a week
from only $40 five years ago.
"On clothing, we buy quality, because
We find 1t saves us in the long run. Our
children wear out poor material too quickly.

They go to drive-in movies occasionally to
cut down babysitting fees. And the whole
family belongs to the YMCA in Sligo Creek
Park, where they swim often in summer.

we're outdoors great deal. I spend an aw-
full lot of time on the yard and flowers.
People are always asking me why do it,
but honestly enjoy it,
The televiSion set is in the basement
and gets little attention until cold weather
And even then, we only watch it occa-

wife added I'VE make sure the children

NOTES on BOATS
By BOB JONES

slugged with 10-pound sledge
hammers.
The. real virtues of Fiberglas
boats, though perhaps less dra-
matte, are of far greater i'm
portance to boat owners. The
material has proven to be
ideally suited to marine envi-
ronment. 1t has toughness, SUI
perior surface hardness and no
water absorption. And most
important of all. it is highly
resistant to acids, salts, SOL
vents and bacteria or fungus
attack. In other words, this
plastic is practically immune
to the ravages which threaten
a wooden or metal boat.
Other advantages of Fibergla;
are that it is an ideal material
because Of its resistance to
wear and tear; it cannot be
harmed by borers or any form
of marine growth, and as
nonconductor of electricity il
prevents degradation due to
electrolysis. The material viii
neither shrink, swell nor dry
out and is unaffected by the
severest weather conditions
Furthermore, maint n a nc t
costs are at a minimum since
colors impregnated in the resin
bond make it unnecessary tc
expend large sums for con-
tinual sandpapering and paint
ing.
Construction wise the Fiber
glas hull has advantages over
wood and metal because it is
all in one piece, no rivets
screws or seams to work loose
requiring expensive repairs and
requirements. While it is moi
true that a Fiberglas boat car
withstand hard blows on SHARP
rocks, holes that are sustained
by mishaps can easily be re-
paired with no loss of strength
or appearance.
With the great progress thai
has been made in the industry
we now know that Fiberglas il
very much here to stay. Boat:
are better than ever before
more people are enjoying this
greatest of all recreation:
largely because of the great
advances that have been made

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-04-05

Do nine people out Of 10 be-
lieve that a Fiberglas boat will
stand anything? While it is
true that Fiberglas is tough,
waterproof and impervious to
rot Of any kind. is it also true
that this new material is as
tough as steel?
There seems to be consider
able confusion on these points.
Boat dealers are being contin-
ually assailed with such retorts
as, But 1 thought you couldn't
hurt this stuff" or, 81 want my
money back. That rock we hit
put a hole clean through the
bottom!"
Yet it's easy to understand
these mistaken beliefs. When
the industry began to develop,
following World War II, over
enthusiastic promotion making
fantastic claims led to miscon-
ception of the facts.
A somewhat doubtful story
about the early days Of Fiber
lglas illustrates the point. The
new owner of a Fiberglas boat
Invited some friends for cock
tails and to see his new craft.
He had read about Fiberglas
bulletproof armor and at a
boat show had seen a salesman
pounding the hull with a sledge
hammer. AS the party pro-
crossed our friend became more
and more enthusiastic about his
acquisition and, feeling the urge
to dramatize the event, went
Into the house and returned to
the dock with a large-caliber
hunting rifle. An accurately
placed bullet at the waterline
pierced the hull on both sides,
and the new boat sank slowly
to the bottom.
X y \ \
For one thing, the Fiberglas
and resin process for building
boats is quite different from
that of bullet-proof armol
manufacture. The materials
are basically the same, but
the construction is radically
different. In the early days OF
Fiberglas boats there were toe
many advertisements showing
boats being dropped three
stories without a scratch
boats being used for close
range target practice with
nary a dent, and hulls being

or fishing trip, plan your picture
taking. Shoot everything from
the loading of your boat at the
dock or on its trailer at horne
until you unload. 1t provides
a permanent record of the
entire outing.
For scenes of family activi-
ties, have a friend operate the
camera. If one family member
takes all the pictures, he or she
will be completely out of the
film record.
Keep your camera handy
This was impressed on me the

otter and muskrat swimming

Can Use Color
You can use color as well as
black and white but remember
that there is image distortion
in water. Objects are magni-
fled and distances are tricky.
Good cameras for under.
water work are the IS nm
miniatures. The small negative
and the correspondingly short
focal length give greater depth
of field.
Settings are somewhat easier
to predetermine than under
conventional conditions. Here

least provocation.
The first thing to remember
in taking pictures on the water
is to protect your camera.
There is the ever-present
danger of dropping it over
board. The safest thing is to
secure it to your wrist. Even
q piece of string will do.
Keep Camera Dry
Be careful to keep the cam
era dry. Salt spray especially
will rust working parts. If by
accident the camera is damp
ened, take it apart and dry it
thoroughly. Be careful Of heat
from boat engines. Heat can
ruin sensitive film. If you are
storing your camera on the
boat for any length of time,
use a plastic or other damp
proof case.
Taking pictures from a NOV
ing boat requires a fast shutter
speed. usually 1/250th of a Sec
ond. Holding the camera steady
is one of the most important
techniques to master. Wait
until the boat is atop a wave
to shoot.
When photographing moving
boats, pan slightly, using a
faster shutter speed. Pick up
the moving boat in the view
finder and follow it in a sweep
ing motion. Continue the
sweeping motion even after the
shutter has been released.
Often the stop is made too
quickly and the benefit of pam
ming is lost.
A light yellow (K-1 or K-2)
filter is recommended with
black and white film. 1t will
darken the sky, reduce con-
trast and protect the lens from
spray. Too heavy a filter will
darken blue water too much.
A polaroid filter is often used
to eliminate glare and to bring
out cloud effects. 1t must be
used carefully.
Usually it is best to keep the
sun over your shoulder. Many
poor pictures result from cross
lighting. For silhouettes. back
lighting often produces dram
attic pictures. Don't place the
beat directly in the sun, but
take your picture when it is left
or right of the highlight. The
beat will be clearly outlined
but will not contain any detail.
Keep Horizon Level
Remember that over-expo-
sure is common in pictures
taken on the water. The cause,
of course, is reflection of light
by the water. AS a general
rule, reduce the lens opening
one step.
Try to keep the horizon line
level when shooting. 1t should
be about one-third of the dis
lance from the bottom of the
viewfinder. A good idea is to
shoot from a low angle so that
the horizon divides the boat be-
low the deck and not above it.
Distance is important. Many
photos are ruined by taking
them at too great a distance,
losing your boat, for instance,
in a crowd of others. Pick a
focal point and be sure it &C.
cupies the predominant place
in the picture.
Also important is camera
angle. An unusual picture can
be lost against a poor back
ground, but if you silhouette
the subject against Shoreline or
horizon, the result will be a
permanent treasure.
