ALL FOUND IN ERROR
Survival Manuals Challenged
By CHARLES COvELL
Outdoor Editor

Young Robert s. Owendoff Of
Falls Church who flabbergasted
the survival experts by coming
up with an amazingly simple
means Of finding ones way out
Of the woods, now has drawn
bead on time honored Army,
Navy and Boy Scout methods.
In fact, he challenges their
systems as being subject to alb
surd error and In an article in
the current issue of the Izaak
Walton magazine does q good
job of proving it.
Bob points out that Army
field manuals, the Navy survi-
val manual for sailors and ma
rineS, the Boy Scout manual
and more than 100 manuals for
outdoorsmen recommend the
watch method.
Criticizes Watch Method
In this, a watch running on
standard time is laid on the
ground. A match or twig is,
placed upright against the rim
and the hands turned until the
hour hand points along the
shadow Of the twig or match
toward the sun. South then is
supposed to lie halfway be-
tween the hour hand and III
o'clock.
This was based on the idea
that the sun gets up at a.
nearly constant rate. proceeds
across the sky at the same
constant rate and drops behind
the horizon with only some
refraction to change things
slightly.
Unfortunately, as the Forests
Service points out in its
monthly bulletin, Timber Tips, I
distributed to personnel, this is
true only If we stand on the
north or south pole. Accord
ing to the latitude and the time
Of year in which the readings
are taken, the error in direc-
ton can be up to ITS degrees,
or almost opposite fom the
desired course Of travel.
Make Butterfly Program
AS a means Of testing this,
as well as three other widely
accepted systems, the Boy
Scout equal shadow method,
the Air Force shortest shadow
method and the Army's hour
method. Bob suggests making q
butterfly diagram.

ward and at fall equinox it will
coincide with the spring equi-
nox line"
Diagram Shows Errors
The watch method would
work fine. Bob points out, If
the shadow moved around the
STICK at q constant rate OF is
degrees each hour. On the but
terfly diagram you can measure
the actual angles between each
hour point on the curve and see
that they are far from being
equal. During June. for example,
the sun zips across nearly 10
degrees Of arc in the first two
hours after noon.
AS for the others. young Ow-
endoff says that at best, only
a single determination Of direc-
ton can be made during the
entire day and several hours of
patient waiting are usually re-
quired. If readings are started
after noon. 1t will gradually
dawn on the traveller that he
must stay in one spot almost
"a hours to finish his direction
finding.
Aside from the time factor,

Bob adds, all are subject Il
considerable error especially ir
the summertime because a,
spring progresses, sh a dow
lengths change more and more
slowly with the passing hours.
Suggests Own Method
Bob purposes his own shad-
ow-tip method as being the
most nearly accurate. 1t works
all day between the equator and
about IS degrees latitude and
from mid-morning until mid
afternoon between As and SO
degrees Of latitude.
First, he advises, drive a stick
in the ground and don't worry
about whether it's vertical be-
cause an inclined stick gives
Just as good results. Mark the
shadow tip at once with a twig,
your finger or a hole in the
snow. then once again after the
shadow has moved enough to
get a definitely different read
ing. With a 4-foot stick, 10
minutes should be enough.
To find your way, draw a
line between these two points.
That will be east-west and you
then can orient yourself to any
desired direction. To avoid cir
cling, you can take as many
readings as you need. II you
travel all day. errors in direc-
ton will cancel themselves out.
Aims at West Point
Bob's shadow-tip system was
formally adopted by the Army
last January rs and by the Air
Force November / although the
others were retained.
A graduate Of George Mason
High School last June, Bob lives

The plant is a half mile
downstream from the mouth OF
the Monocacy River and two

the way to Whites Ferry.
On a cold day the warm
water can easily be found by
observing the rising vapor.
Bank fishing can be done in
the Woods Lock area by walk

exists.

ckets differ only in placement. We
all know that a valance is used
over windows and door areas.
When we place a light behind it,
we have a lighted valance, with
the light directed both above and
below the valance. When a valan-
ce is placed on a wall without a
window or door it is called a bra
cket. Cornice lighting is similar to
valance. The difference is that the
lighting units are mounted on the
ceiling and the light is directed
downward only. Cove lighting
could be called indirect lighting
because the light is directed up
ward to the ceiling from the light
ing unit and then is reflected
downward into the room. For this
a light colored ceiling is a must.

Burma, recently called on
Father Salsone, PINE, to
arrange a funeral service for
his son. The boy had not
stirred or eaten for six days
and the parents were pos
tive he had died from some
strange cause.
Father Salsone checked the
fourteen-year-old boy over
thoroughly. Then, feeling his
pulse, he was able to detect
a faint beat of life. He was
alive and as far as Father
Salsone could tell, he had
been suffering from malaria.
The priest asked for per-
mission to inject the boy
with medicine which would
help cure him. But the par
ents, believing the boy hope
lessly dead, argued that he
would be wasting the medi-
cine.
After heated argument,
the parents finally relented.
The PINE Missionary gave
the youngster an injection
of quinine. A while later,
the boy awoke and insisted
he was starving, begging his
mother to prepare him some
thing to eat.
The funeral was called off.
