If Boating You Go Continued from Page 1 classes both during school an incident on Gull Lake when a young lady towing friend husband on skis, discovered after more than a mile, that he'd "dropped off" somewhere along the line. Enlisting the aid of a lakeside resident, and fearfully retracing her route, she found an exhausted, angry and frightened husband, sans life belt or jacket, wisely treading water after realizing he could not swim the distance to shore. The slow-moving pontoon or float boat, considered just about the safest craft afloat, can be a deadly killer when improperly used. Many passengers like to ride on the front pontoons and many boats are equipped with a special deck for the purpose.

Riding there or on the prow of a cruiser is a little like playing Russian roulette. A sudden turn or a wake from a passing boat can fling a passenger into the water and invariably into the blades of the prop passing overhead. Following a fatality in a Kalamazoo County lake, safety officials experimenting with a simulated life size dummy flung off the front of various boats (in addition to the pontoon rafts) found that in nine out of 10 tests, the dummy was "chewed" by the prop. The new laws apply not only to the inland lakes and rivers but to the Great Lakes, which will be patrolled by deputies, conservation officers and the U.S. Coast In order for youngsters to meet the new requirements, law agencies in cooperation with school authorities have conducted Pleasure Boating JUNIOR HOUSE does the From the Regatta Separates Collection: Aboard your schooner or watching from the pier you're certain to create excitement in this red, white and navy sailing outfit.

Holiday Driving hours and some evening sessions for 3,000 in Kalamazoo County, 317 in Calhoun, to date, with 200 more in process of class training; 1,500 i in Barry and 300 in Branch. Each county plans to conduct classes as long as there is a demand. Enthusiasm generated by these young boaters caught on with educators and parents, so that too have benefited from the classes.

Boating represents America's fastest growing sport with some 400,000 power boats and 150,000 sail and row boats registered in Michigan last year. Clearly, the outlook for this summer is boats, boats and more boats, both in the power and sail, as multiple boat families become more common. While there may never be traffic lights or road signs, installed, the area lakes are feeling the pinch of the stepped up traffic and only common sense and courtesy in sharing the waters enforceable safety laws will make going to the lake the long to be remembered experience it should be.

So whether your cup of tea may be skiing, skimming along in a cruiser sailing or just lazing a summer afternoon away trolling do your part to make our Water Wonderland a safe one for happy summering. Review Safety Practices The search for the first women to receive an $8,000 grant from Alpha Delta Kappa, international honorary SOrority for women educators, for a research project utilizing arts and humanities for the benefit of mankind today has produced results unexpected in several ways, Mrs. Frederick Burton of Battle Creek's Alpha Psi chapter reports. "I have just been informed by Mrs. Jeanne Neal, coordinator of this program in our headquarters in Kansas City, that more than 250 requests for applications have been received and that the requests continue to come in steadily," Mrs.

Burton said. "We knew that the big problem would be to get the word of this research grant program to qualified women, women who have completed work for master's degree. We certainly did not expect the number of inquiries we already have received. We have been amazed by the vast range of value of the projects suggested to date. "Even more indicative of the need for this kind of assistance for research is the fact that quite a few men have requested applications, although our announcements have always specified our sponsorship is for women.

We hope our pioneering work in this area will attract other sources of support for projects by both men and Alpha Delta Kappa plans three $8,000 grants, the first winner to be selected late this year. Subsequent winners will be selected in the next two bienniums. Driving experts and authorities on auto safety agree that one of the principal causes of highway accidents is driver fatigue, caused practically by simple the entire eyestrain. nation planning to spend the Memorial Day weekend on wheels there is good reason for every driver to review the suggestions of the experts for avoid eyestrain. Here are two of the most obvious: DO wear a good pair of sunglasses but never at dusk or at night.

DON'T start a long or tedious drive if you are already tired or drowsy. Turnpike driving, with its hypnotic monotony, is a very real hazard. Keep alert. Carry on a conversation, sing, stamp your foot. If driving alone, is is especially urged that the mind be kept active, the senses alert.

Talk to yourself. Argue with the man on the radio. If sleepiness persists, pull into a roadside park and catch 20 winks. Place cotton squares, soaked in witch hazel, over the eyes. Keep a bottle of witch hazel stashed away in the glove compartment.

It is also useful for creshening makeup after the rest period. A cup of coffee or tea from a roadside stand will complete the wide-awake picture. Long trips can be a bore to children, too especially the very young ones. After attending to their safety; making sure seat belts fastened and doors locked, help them enjoy their trip by pointing out interesting sights and landmarks. Suggest one of the popular games that go with touring.

Surprise them with candy or fruit. One last thought for a safe and happy Memorial Day drive. Start earlier than you think necessary. It eliminates the need for speed, cuts frustration. 40th A Anniversary Mr.
