WATER LINE
Air-Driven Boats Versatile
By HANK BOWMAN

There's a rapidly increasing
clan of mariners who favor air
driven craft to conventional
underwater propeller boats.
I had long held to the theory
that sailors were the only boat
men to use air power. Bob
Inman, a young st. Louis
lawyer showed me how wrong
I was.
Inman introduced me to air.
propelled powerboating in one
of his Airboy Cubs. This IL
foot 6-inch aluminium boat is
designed for use on shallow
rivers and lakes, weed-infested
marshes and stump filled
waters. Actually it will run in
anything deeper than a heavy
dew.
The Cub isn't a show boat,
but it's a versatile utility that
lists, ready to operate, at under
5000. 1t resembles a scow with
a fan mounted at the stern and
an aircraft type stick control
forward. It's propulsion is sup

you can steer a Cub with your

over sand bars. A few time

been added to help guide the
small boatman.
These charts also are the
first to carry danger areas de-
signated in red around certain
lights. Commercial vessels as
we'll as smaller craft should
find these particularly helpful
in avoiding shoals.
First to Mark Riprap
Many of the lights in the
Chesapeake area have piles of
rocks or riprap around them
and these charts are the first
to have the danger areas
marked by jagged lines around
the light.
Both the Geodetic Survey and
the Coast Guard have been
blamed when mariners ran afouI
of this riprap.
The small-Scale charts are
what are known as print day
charts. That is, they are not
corrected between printings
like the large-scale charts and
new editions are planned each
year.
First of, the cover was re.
designed with the plastic rims
binding at the top instead Of
the side. Too many boatmel

hung up my Cub on jutting
rocks but found that because of
its light weight it was quite
simple to push off any obstruc-
ton with an oar and head
back into the rapids for another
go.
One feature that surprised
me was that in deep water the
boat mushed along at an eSti-
mated peak speed of $40 miles
per hour. When I drove close
to the banks where water was a
foot or less deep or helmed the
Cub through rapids she lifted
onto plane and picked up to
1918 miles per hour.
Regardless of the section of
the country, Cub owners can
operate their flying scows all
year long. The Cub comes
fitted with two outer keels to
which accessory ice runners
can be attached in a few min
utes. The boat can be driven
through skim ice, over thick
ice and back into the water
again at will. Since the engine
is air cooled, freezing isn't a
problem.
-
Inman originally became in
terested in airpoats when he
saw homemade air propeller
powered scows operating in the
Florida Everglades. He decided
the sport was too fascinating
to be restricted to those few
who had the mechanical ability
to put together their own rigs.
Today, Airboats, Inc, which
Inman directs, produces a line
of air-drive boats ranging from
a 9-horsepower Cub with a top
speed with one person aboard

nation on obtaining radiotele-
phone weather forecasts. New
are phone numbers of agencies
which give weather informa-
ton.
New Facilities Listed
Changes in the lists Of facili-
ties and how they were obtain
ed are especially interesting.
Aerial photographs were made
of the entire Potomac and
wherever new dock appeared,
it was added to the charts.
Postcard missionaries also
were sent to marinas and boat
yards up and down the river
and officials were surprised by
a return of better than 70 per
cent.
All compass roses also have
been corrected for magnetic
deviation.
Since the first edition of the
Potomac charts came out only
a little more than a year ago
they have become very popular.
Sales have been 3 or 4 to /
without hurting the sale of the
large charts.
20 Series Planned
The new edition points out
that eventually about 10 such
chart series will be available
covering most of the coastal
boating areas.
Since the Potomac charts
were issued, a similar set has
been published covering the
waterways from Fort Pierce to
Miami. These were introduced
at boat shows in January and
the demand was so great that
dealers who had been ordering
three or four at time changed
their orders to 100 to 400. In
fact, some dealers are giving
them with purchases of a boat
and motor.
Soon to be published is a set
for the Bellingham to Seatxee
area in the State of Washing
ton and field work has been
completed for small scale
charts Of San Francisco Bay
and the Sacramento River as
far as Antioch.
Canadians Interested
Coast and Geodetic also
hopes funds will be available
this fall to do field work on
the north shore of Long Island
Sound.
Use of the small-scale charts
is not confined to small boats
because owners Of big vessels
have found them helpful as
hand-held charts on the bridge.
Lately the Naval and Mer-
chant Marine academies have
expressed interest in using
them in their classrooms.
Another tribute is the in
terest of the Canadian govern
ment, which may start pub
fishing them.

If there are women who
don't love fashions, Mrs.
C. Wayland Brooks is not
numbered among them. Al
though politics is in her blood.
her parallel love is for every
thing feminine, including the
woman'S vote.
Raised in the arena Of po-
litical life, Mary Brooks,
whose father was Senator
John Thomas from Idaho,
and whose husband was SEN
ator Brooks from Illinois,
started attending national
conventions beginning in
1910. Little did she realize
that. one day, she would be
"Official Hostess to the Re-,
publican National Conven-
ton of 1860"
With the enormous re-
sponsibility of her manifold
duties as hostess, the great
est challenge to her creativity
came in arranging an inter-
esting and meaningful event
to highlight the luncheon
Wednesday for hundreds of
important women in political
life.
A resident of Illinois and
a frequent visitor to Lincoln's
Springfield, Mary Brooks
found the catalyst for all her
ideas in the Centennial of
Lincoln's Inauguration. Mrs.
Brooks fixed on an idea that
would recreate history with
fashions. Since Abraham
Lincoln was the first Repub-
licap president and the
founder of the Republican
Party, she decided to begin
her historical fashion plan
ming with his First Lady.
Planned on the theme of
"Great Ladies of the Amer
icas," the event will be a
historical pageant centering
around IL costumes of
the First Ladies of Abraham
Lincoln's Party, beginning
with his First Lady and
ending with Mrs, Eisen-
hover.
Originals of the IL cos
tunes executed by Costumer
Barbara Karinska are in the
exhibit of Dresses of the
First Ladies of the White
House" in the Smithsonian
Institution here.
MRS. henry Howard Baker,

daughter of Senate Minority
Leader Everett Dirksen, will

lead the presentation wearing

coin dinner gown. Mrs. Dirk
