JULY. 1958 Economic 'Security V For many centuries until comparatively modern times, hi the walled city was the ac- T cepted form of urban devel- fe opmcnt. The inhabitants of w towns and cities regarded the ef walls thrown up around them T as their best assurance of th safety from attack. The walls g< were the citizens' protection fc against hostile forces, spies, u: and even beggars or other al undesirables. p] The people of the walled r< city felt secure in their beds e1 at night, relying on the wall tl 1 iu is.ct.-jj oui anyming that might threaten their exist- bi ence. But often the wall was 01 breached, and it turned out ft that more than a wall was n needed to turn back deter- di mined attackers and assure t( security. rt Some Coarse . . . Some Fine . . . The little old man sat in his n little old second-story room carefully tearing sheets of a newspaper into tiny bits and d flinging them confetti style n out the window. After observing the paper fluttering past her window, v the tenant below went up and p asked why he was doing that, n 'To keep away the clc- v phants!" the man replied c proudly. Slie considered it for a mo- tl ment, then walked to the window and peered out. Finally she turned around and a said: "I hate to tell you this, tl but there are no elephants within thousands of miles of v here." e "See!" he exclaimed gleefully. "It's working wonder- r< fully!" p A long-winded toast mast or had kept his audience fidget- a ing for .'tO minutes following a formal dinner. Finally his supply of words ran out. ]' "And now," he said, turning 11 with a smile, "I'm going to n call upon Mr. Richworthv to give his address." Mr. Richworthv arose. "My address," he said, "is 922 Lombard Street and I'm going home."

THE CLOTHMAKER Tips For Boat Owners The large number of emjloyees' boats which can be een any weekend, and most week days, on Lake Greenwood, Santee-Cooper, Clark's fill, Lake Murray and nearly private lakes reflect the >opularity of boat ownership if Clinton-Lvdia employees. Some were bought to fish n, others to speed or pleaure ride, and others solely o pull water ski fans. Regardless of purpose, here are i few tips that will be of :alue to you in caring for our boat. Proper care of your boat is lot just a question of upkeep. Vith most models, particilarlv with small boats, it's lot a matter of how much scraping, chalking and paintng?if any?you do. It is a natter of taking the trouble o find out just what care and reatment the craft needs, md then giving it that consistently. Different size boats require lifferent treatment, just bemuse of their size. So do the . arious constructions?metal, ilastic. wood covered and jiicovii _d, aluminum, and others by the dozen. The most important item in preserving the life of your boat is not to hit any solid objects hard enough to spring the hull or crack any part of it. Or, as Willard Crandall. boats and motors editor of Sports Afield magazine says, "drive sensibly." "NT _ 1 x 1 1 i i\o Doai can oc usea wunr>ut being scratched, marred or dented. A boatman soon learns the latest touch-up products and techniques and to take such precautions as hanging out rub fenders over the gunwales before each landing. Resale values are poor on excessively scratched boats, partly because dealers and other buyers suspect a slambanged boat is one that is loosened up or cracked. To be appearance-conscious is one of the best ways to avoid real damage to your hull. If till \?HII II11UU IlOl IU scratch and scrape your boat, you're not likely to wham it hard enough to hurt the hull. Most damage that shortens a boat's life?both the sudden kind and the slow, continuous sort?occurs when the craft is out of use, when there is no one in it. There's hazard even for a boat tied to a pier. Safety in mooring involves such matters as choosing a good spot and using the right length liru, so the moored boat won't hit against anything. Then, a boatman must contend w i t h land damage. Smaller craft that can be lifted can also be dropped. A trailer can rub on a vulnerable spot. Dampness, dryness and heat can take years from the life of your boat. Remember .... Taking care of your boat is secondary take care of yourself first... know and respect the body of water you are in and be prepared to meet emergencies.
