JUNE 15, 1956 Stay Safe Afloat If You're Go With thousands of square miles of open water available c to boating enthusiasts, it is 1 sometimes hard to believe s that boating accidents are pos- s sible. However, our water- ( ways are only as safe as the 1 people who enjoy them. i The Evinrude Boating Foundation has compiled a i list of do's and don'ts which. 1 if followed, will keep novices j and "old hands" safe afloat? < and dry. Do ? Check maximum i horsepower rating of your boat as recommended by the j Outboard Boating Club of | America, or make certain 1 your boat and motor are "balanced." i Do ? Step aboard a boat as ; nearly to the center as possi- 1 ble. Keep lines taut or have someone steady the boat. Do ? Fill your tank careA*-_11 1 . ? luny wiui a minimum ot 1 splashing and spilling. < Do ? Carry one Coast : Guard approved life preserver 1 for every person aboard. Do ? Learn basic signs of impending weather changes. Always head for shelter at the first sign of an approaching i storm or squall. Do Cross the wake of a large boat at a safe angle if avoiding it completely is impossible. i Do ? Punch holes in both ends of beer cans so that they will not float Sink tlinm nnlv iii deep areas in lakes so that they won't harm swimmers and small craft. < Do ? Slow down or stop before changing position or 1 standing in a boat. Do ? Bring your boat into harbors and docks at low speed and respect the prop- i erty of others. The Grand Old Palmetto Flag (Continued from Page 4) ciple of self-government were t i W * C'-HU'nrl t/\ l-v^k ..... ....... V VI iw From March 4. 1864. when the Stars and Bars were first raised at Montgomery, Ala., until April 9. 1865. when General Lee surrendered at Appomattox. the Stars and Bars was the national flag which floated over South Carolina. During the World Wars when our boys were loyally following OKI Glory around the globe, the old familiar Palmetto State Flag symbolized home and loved ones. At a recent National Convention of UDC, we tried to view the flags of the 89 states represented by UDC chapters, they were brought forward with the Stars and Stripes in the lead. We decided that everybody must admire the South Carolina flag ? most of all. and a close second was the Washington State Flag (maybe we are a little biased after all). We should love our State Flag and appreciate the things for which it stands. trig boating Don't ? Buy a boat with)ut regard to the load or lorsepower the boat can ;tand safely. Never crowd a ;mall boat beyond its obvious >r stated capacity. The num3er of seats in a boat do not ndicate capacity. Don't ? Jump aboard. You nay go through the hull. Don't step on the gunwale; v'ou'll spread-eagle into the Irink. r\ a n \- t 'i r-ii uuni ? DmoKf wnnc initio a gas tank. Don't ? Ignore weather >igns such as dark clouds gathering, rapid changes of temperature. Don't ? "Run" from waves n a rain storm. Always keep vour boat headed into large waves. Don't ? Be a "cowboy" with your boat at any time. Don't take your boat too close to swimmers. Never "run down" another boat or a swimmer, "just for fun." Your boat has no brakes. Don't ? Throw floating refuse overboard to drift on beaches. uon i - n,ver stand upon or t'han^c seats in a fast-moving boat. Don't ? "Cowboy" v o u r boat around other craft through a crowded anchorage or at dockside. TEL CLASS PICNIC The T E. L.
