The Barclays might have been set
ting out on an unusual adventure 10
years ago. Now, however, they are
typical members of a mass American
migration to the water that has made
boating the country's fastest growing
recreation. Back in 1850, there were
100000 pleasure boats providing
fun afioat. This spring more than
twice that number will head out at
launching.
How do the Barclays look as a
typical boating family compared with
the nearly eight million other boat
owners in the United States?
Their new boat is six inches longer
than the national average of l4h feet,
but they are among the four million
families that own cupboard craft and tn
two million that use trailers, and they'r

The Far West sunset waters of the
Pacific have seen the most rapid recent
growth of pleasure-boating off Cali
fornia, Oregon, and Washington. But
wait: look at Phoenix, Arizona. Here
is a city with the nearest boating
waters nearly 90 miles away. Here also
is one of the highest boatownerships
per capita of any city in the country.
Phoenicians, like their earlier name
sake, are not troubled by distance when
it comes to boating.
Being inland no longer means being
away from pleasure-boating waters. If
the Barclays moved to the middle of
the country, around Minneapolis, for
example, they would find new friends
showing them 76 lakes in the area
that are week end goals for trailer boats,
not to mention the Mississippi dividing
the twin cities of Minneapolis and St.
Paul. Several years ago, local men,

proved an operating school
budget of $49,2 million for the
coming year. This is nearly 50
million less than DR.. Hansen
originally requested. 1t also has
approved $750.000 for perma-
nent Improvements and $2.8
million for capital outlay.
Inclusion of a request for a
library supervisor eliminates a
year-long pressure campaign
by a citizens group called the
Action Committee for D. C.
School Libraries. 1t has been
calling attention to the fact
that the city's schools not only
provide librarians Just for high
schools, but that they also have
no director or co-ordinator to
help establish and operate PTA-
sponsored libraries at the ele-
mentary level.
Lay Readers Sought
The lay reader program
would provide enough funds 20
pay 10 qualified non-teachers
to correct IL sets of English
compositions a year. This pro-
gram actually was started here
last year. But currently it is
financed completely by the
Meyer Foundation.
One of the major increases
in the operating budget is a
$750,000 figure for the teachers
retirement and annuity fund.
An actuarial appraisal, DR..
Hansen said, has shown that
retired teachers are living
longer and, consequently, draw
ing more benefits. The school
systems annual contribution
will have to be increased by
another $750,000 next year, he
added.
DR.. Hansen noted the steady
progress over a period Of years
in reducing the elementary
school pupil-teacher ratio. If
the goal of 30-to-1 is actually
attained with the new budget,
he said, I'VE ought to have

Senator Fulbright, saying

After the blowup of the

fellow Senator what he should

the hope and signal caution

Young and Rubicam officials have

people in 1858 paid more for drugs
than they did for doctors bills. The
total outlay for medical drugs came
to $4.4 billion, or one-third more than
the outlay for doctors services which
totaled 1913 billion.
Drug companies are attempting to
excuse the high cost of their products
by claiming they spend 7 per cent
of their income on research. But
scientists point out that many popu-

countries and not by the U. S. drug
