According to Secretary of State
James Nj. Hare. 43l, Ola motor

AS the summer vacation sea-
son nears we expect many new

hope that those who are pur-
chasing new watercraft register
at once TO avoid the June rush
period. If new boat owners CO.
operate by registering early, we
can process their applications
promptly and get their boat num-
bers back to them within few

Under recently enacted Federal

form registry plan was establish
cd under which each state re-
tained the authority and respon-
sibility for the registration of all
boats using its waters.
Thus no two boats in the

makes for easy Identification no

Howell To Play
For Pistons
Next Season

Bruising Bailey Howell signed
to play for the Detroit Pistons
for the 1962-63 National Basket
ball Association season. Terms
were not disclosed, but club Of
ficials revealed that Howell was
given a "sizeable raise In pay"
Howell is a three-year veteran
of NBA play, all with the Pts
tons. He was the teams No. l
draft choice in 1859 after a sem
sational career as three-time All
American at Mississippi State I'm
iversity, where he broke every
Southeastern Conference scoring
and rebounding record.
The rugged 81" forward has
led the team in scoring and re-
bounding for the past two sea-
sons. His efforts in both depart
ments fell off slightly in l96l-62,
but outstanding support from
rookie Ray Scott was primarily
responsible for the decline.
Howell had 1919 scoring mark
from the floor with 1876 points
in 70 games and bettered his
pace slightly in Detroit's 10 play
off games with an even 200
tallies for 200 average. He snar-
ed 996 rebounds during the reg
ular season for a 1875 -per-game
effort.
In 1960-61, Howell averaged
23.4 in scoring with 1915 points
and hauled in a team-record of
lii rebounds. AS rookie, Bail
ey set first-year marks in both
categories, getting 1882 points
for a 178 average and 100 re-
bounds.
