(Combine with one set) Willard Crandall, boats and motors editor of Sports Afield magazine, thinks anglers should take a more lively interest in racing—after all, experiments for greater speed have resulted in more dependable boats and mot ors for them. Lately, more and more fishermen have taken up outboard racing with their regu lar fishing boats. Modern outboard racing was born in 1926. That year a 6 hp motor appeared on the market; it Was the largest motor to date and had enough power to make a boat rise up and skim over the water. The outboard hydroplane was in troduced shortly after. Thousands of new racing boats, about 14 footers in those days, were built, and races staged from coast to coast. The thing has been grow ing ever since. In the last year or two elimina tion heats have become common, -even in small regattas, because safety demands only a limited number of boats start at once. The national championships draw over 300 boats each year. What’s the best 'way to get started in outboard racing? You *imply buy an outfit and enter the first race you can find. No li cense, no particular experience, no special physical qualifications are necessary. But such a quick-plunge start has disadvantages. The biggest and moat common mistake of the beginning driver is buying a boat and motor before he really knows what to buy. Land experience is ossential for drivers and the time to get it is before you lay out your money. Hang around the pits of all races you can find. Watch what the winning drivers do, how they tune up, just what boats, motors and equipment they use. And know the rules. Write to the American Power Boat Asso ciation, 700 Canton avenue, De troit, Michigan and the National Outboard Association, 707 Market Street, Knoxville, Tenn, for the National rules. These are the two major racing associations. Outboard racing is not luck, Crandall insists. Big races are won by top drivers plus top boats plus top motors in top shape—to race successfully you’ve got to be a top mechanic or have one work for you. But there’s nothing to being a champion driver that you can’t learn. It’s a sport open to all on an equal basis. There has been lots of guess work and some studies made to explain the homing instinct of birds, animals and fish. Some time ago the U. S. Army Signal Corps, under a project labeled Top .Secret, attempted to prove that carrier pigeons find their way by coordinating magnetic lines of fiorce with the Coriolis effect that force set up by the rotation of-the earth. The Coriolis effect is really a whole series of effects and one of them is centrifugal force. As the earth spins on its axis, water and air tend to revolve In a clock wise direction north of the equa tor and counterclockwise south of it. The theory is that If water can feel the rotation of the earth and respond to it, so can the fluid in the inner ear. In other words, the inner ear may act as a compass for homing birds and animals. And carrier pigeons were supposed to plot their course by using the magnetic lines that cross the earth and the Coriolis effect. The people who conducted the experiment thought they’d found something. But their results have been questioned, and the general feeling is that it wasn’t conclus ive, one way or another. More interesting perhaps is the work of J. B. Rhine of Duke University, who has done experi ments in “extrasensory percep tion.” Dr. Rhine has collected thousands of stories of homing animals, and has verified many of them. He believes that the ability can’t be explained in terms of any known sense. That, like men tal telepathy and clairvoyance, it is “extraphysical.” In other words, his theory about home-going animals is that their behavior is caused by some force or power we know nothing about, a force that doesn’t obey the usual laws of physics, that can’t be measured by any existing instru- t ment, and that is just as power ful at a great distance as It is nearby. If Dr. Rhine is right, and his evidence seems mighty convinc ing according to an article by REV. ROBERT H. HARPER I Hope for tbt Exiles. Lesson for August 21: Ismsb 55. Golden Text: Ismeb 55; 5. The time of Isaiah’s death is un certain, but he lived till near enough to the fall of Jerusalem to enable him to prepare his people for their approaching exile, if not to strengthen them at’ the. time of their carrying away. But his message had a still wider range, as it does now. Because his teaching was of such a high a^d spiritual nature, promising deliver ance to all the sinning and dis tressed, Isaiah’s prophecy is some times called the “gospel of Isaiah.” He was the bringer of a gracious in vitation from God to come to the waters to slake their thirst and to buy food without money and with out price. Salvation is freely offered to all w^o will come to God by faith. They are to seek the Lord while he may be found, they are to call upon him while ’he is near, ’the wicked must forsake his way, if he would find pardon, and the unright eous man his thoughts. He whose heaven is higher than the earth, whose ways are not the ways of men, and uftiose thoughts transcends the thoughts of men, will bring joy and fullness to those who trust in him. And their blessed estate will be like unto a land that has been brought from desolation to bloom and fruitage. So may we find hope through our faith. Varian Fry which appeared in a recent issue of Sports Afield magazine, then we may bo on the verge of great new discoveries. Discoveries that will reveal things of significance not only about animal behavior, but about the real nature of the whole world. If Dr. Rhine is wrong, then some simpler, less revolutionary explanation of homing than his is bound to be found sooner or la ter. *For it’s certain that animals do have a mysterious ability to find their way without any guide- posts that we know, about, nr can even guess at. And when a phe nomenon like that exists, it’s only a matter of time before aoms scientist explains it. Good Printing Costs No More Not Have It?

The past two weeks I have explained them a bit here. The yearlings killed would us ually net about 350 pounds. In our 16 member club, that gave us about 20 pounds of beef each week. Large families in 8-handed clubs took home twice as much. Without refrigeration, keeping this until it could be eaten was a problem. We always had coun try style steak, grits, and brown milk gravy for supper on those Friday nights we killed beef. My, that stuff was good! They had to limit us kids on that steak, or we’d over-eat and have bad dreams. I always cut mine up and mixed it in with a plate full of grits and gravy. This was stirred to an even consist ency, spread all over the plate to cool. And then, oh, boy!
