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.

Built in|1703 within Charleston’s
original fortifications, the Old
Powder Magazine now serves as
a museum and, along with its
attractive, fence-enclosed gar
den, attracts many visitors. It is
a low stuccoed brick building
with a steep hip roof.
In historic South Carolina,
the United States Brewers Foun
dation works constantly to en
courage maintenance of whole
some conditions wherever beer
and ale are sold. As in other
states, the program calls for close
cooperation between law-enforce
ment officials and beer licensees
throughout South Carolina.

BOYS ARE
THAT WAY
By J. M. ELEA2ER
Our beef clubs served a great
purpose in the Stone Hills of the
E^utch Fork. 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!
