unless something entirely I'M
foreseen happens. that condi-

curtail the hunting season this
fall-we will have no choice
but to recommend severe re-

Janzen indicated that not
only was the drought taking
a severe toll but that it could
also contribute to the loss Of

making against time in the
acquisition of habitat for duck
wintering and nesting.
JanZen Appeals to Hunters
The director pointed out that
all Of the money provided by
the new SO duck stamp is ear
marked for selection and acqui-
sition of waterfowl habitat ex-
cept what is required for print
ing and handling the stamps.
Have enough faith in the
future Of the sport" Janzen
urged duck hunters, Ito con-
tribute SO for a stamp even
though the hunting prospects
for this fall look pretty grim. /"
The So stamp became effective

WATER LINE
Garry Right Tools for Emergencies
By HANK BOWMAN

Many of the outboarder's
motor problems can be simply
remedied on the spot If he
has the proper tools, but an
ice pick and beer can opener
will seldom do the trick.
A good basic kit which will
take care of most minor
emergencies should include the
following:
Water pump pliers for re-
moving and changing spark
plugs. The adjustment feature
makes this a handy tool for a
variety Of other uses such as
removing the tail nut of the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-07-12

A small adjustable wrench
suitable for use on fuel line
fittings and for tightening
loose bolts.
A roll Of friction tape for
emergency wiring repairs.
In addition to these tools, /
would suggest a number Of mis-
cellaneous items, foremost Of
which would be a spare set OF
spark plugs, pregapped to the
manufacturers recommended
electrode opening.
Most plugs are sold with the
electrodes spaced at .030" or
more. The gaps must be mar
rowed to the motor manufac-
turer'S specification, which is
usually .025" or less.
II your plugs are packed, as
many marine plugs are, in
waterproof containers, so that
Gaping them would require
breaking open the container
and exposing them. then your
kit should include a plug-gap-
ping tool and gauge.
Since spark plug gaskets are
easy to drop overheard, better
put a few spares in your tool
kit, too.
A can Of lighter fluid will
serve to refuel your lighter and
to give you an excellent degum-
ming fluid for cleaning fouled
spark plugs.
If the lower unit Of your mo-
tor is equipped with shear pins,
be sure to carry a spare supply.
Include cotter pins and at least
one spare prop nut.

A jackknife can be used for
skinning wiring insulation
