no motors were run.
The most significant test
to fishermen was whether an
cupboard motor driven close
to where men were casting
would bother their fishing. The
results showed no difference
between the catch on motor
days compared with that on
non-motor days.

WATER LINE

National Safe Boating Week
has come and gone. 1t is the
rare pleasure boatman who has
not been made aware of precau-
tons to be taken when afloat.
The marine industry has, as
in previous years, through its
trade associations and individ-
ual manufacturers, played a
major part in the preparation
and distribution of boating
safety material in an effort to
inform them of means to avoid
unsafe conditions or cope with
dangerous situations should
they occur.
Yet I feel that the safety OBJ
legation of the manufacturer
cannot be fulfilled merely by
preaching safety but rather by
providing the boating public
with the safest possible products.
1t may come as a shock to
you to learn that there are
mass-produced boats which, if
Swamped, will not float, or that
there are boats fitted with plate
glass or even single thickness
window glass that will shatter
on impact.
There are boats on which
hardware is secured in a flimsy
manner, or made of inferior,
cheap material which will not
withstand excessive strain,
There are boats so poorly de-
signed that they can't be turned
at three-fourths of their maxi
mum speed with safety. The
wiring system on many is in
adequately fused or not fused
at all. Some steering installa-
tons are lily conceived or
wholly inadequate. Permanently
installed fuel tanks on some
power boats are improperly
vented. poorly secured and not
grounded.
What boatman would buy an
automobile which operated with
its hood so far in the air that
the driver couldn't see where he
was going? Who would ride
more than once in a car that
moved down the highway tilted
constantly to one side or the
other and which had to be
babied through every turn for
fear of upsetting? Yet you see
dozens of boats that operate in
this manner on any major
waterway.
Some safety deficiencies OF
boats can be attributed to
owners who have overpowered
or equipped them with insult
ficient safety gear. However,
many unsafe boats are the re-
suit of manufacturers continu-
ing to sell poorly designed hullI
or cutting corners on materials
in order to market a product

FISHING

Australians Flick
Hooks From Finqers

AS every fisherman knows,
it's easy to get a hook imbedded
in a finger. It's also tricky and
painful to remove them because
of the barb.
The common method is to
force the point forward until
it emerges, then to squeeze down
the barb with pliers or break
it off. The hook is then worked
back through its path of entry
DR.. Theo Cooke in the Medi-
cal Journal of Australia de-
scribes a quicker method used
by fishermen near Port Vincent
South Australia. He says these
men can have a hook flickeo
out, dip the finger into the sea
and be fishing within minute
Those of my medical COL
leagues whom I have asked have
not heard of this method and
most of them have expressed
disbelief in its practice" DR..
Cooke adds. Here's how it
works:
The person who is to remove
the hook makes a loop of string
and winds the ends securely
around his right index finger.
The loop, about 18 inches long,
is slipped over the shank of the
hook. The injured finger is then
placed on a firm surface with
the eye Of the hook pointing
to the left of the manipulation
who then takes the eye and
shank between the thumb and
index finger of his left hand,
which rests on the patients
hand.
Holding the shank rigidly, he
depresses it to disengage the
barb and slowly straightens the
loop of string horizontally in
, the plane of the long axis OF
the shank. This is a test ma
newer to bring the loop gently
against the curve of the hook.
The tip of the operators left
third finger then holds the
center of the loop against the
finger at the point where the
hook enters. The operator
brings his right hand back tt
the hook and suddenly jerks
it away again in the same d.
rection as in the test maneuver
DR.. Cooke says the hook is spur
back out of the finger without
enlarging the hole of entry.
For large hooks, a double
loop "a to 80 inches long is
used.

Bay Boating Facilities Growing Plush
BY CHARLES COVELL
Outdoor Editor

A coupl Of the facilities being
built for Chesapeake Bay boat
men promise to be plush.
One of these is Castle Marina
on Kent Island, scene of last
week ends rendezvous of Dis
trict S of the United States
Power Squadrons, and another,
the new Piney Point Resort off
the Potomac at Piney Point,
Md. Also coming along nicely
is the Lord Calvert Marina and
Yacht Club at Solomons, Md.
Castle Marina, said to be a
s2l2 million undertaking, is
about two miles north of the
eastern approach to the Bay
Bridge. Work began with dredg-
ing operations in the spring Of
1851 that shaped a shallow,
narshy shoreline into two yacht
basins connected with the
Chester River by an 1,100-foot
channel, so feet wide.
Will Berth 351 Boats
One Of the basins, 1000 feet
long by 400 wide, contains 1873
slips that will accommodate
boats from IA to ITO feet long.
The other, 900 feet long and
300 wide, will be ready for use
next spring. In all, the marina
will have berths for 351 crafts,
plus launching ramp, 25-ton
Travelift and repair facilities.
A triangular peninsula sep
grating the yacht basins has
been graded and seeded and an
access road leads to the gaSo-
line dock, dockmaster's office
and a marine hardware store.
Extending back along the legs
Of the peninsula will be two CO.
operative apartment wings. A
swimming pool already has
been built in what will be the
center. A small shopping CEN
ter also is planned along the
>ase Of the peninsula.
Until a yacht club and res
taurant are built, in the near
future, a 105-year-old manor
house is being used. Tolson
Manor now houses the marina
offices, a lounge and restau-
rant. A recent addition is an
open terrace for dining and |
dancing

there is a community beach
