PAGE 4 THE NEWBERRY SUN THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1956 Sports Afield (By TED KESTING) If you have a boat, it follows that you must also have a shelter. It chief purpose is to keep the boat from -weather ing, but there are other reasons, too, according to the boat ing editor of Sports Afield Magazine. To prevent theft is one reason; convenience is another. A protected boat is less likely to suffer accidental damage, tess apt to be struck by something or knocked over, and *is away from mischevious children and idle prowlers. Any boat’s paint or varnish job lasts better under shelter. Constant exposure to rain, snow and sun can dull, thin, crack and check the best paint coat. Hot sun can fade color. Most fittings, steering wheels, lights and such will get dingy after open-air storage. Shelter for metal hulls is not a necessary precaution in all cases, but shelter will keep rain and damp air off the boat, and keeps moisture-attact- ing air and salt fog from settling on the hull. Wood boats as a group need shelter. Hot sun and dry air can shrink the wood, causing leaks in boats with seams. Too much moisture in any part of the wood boat that air cannot reach will most likely result in rot. You don’t have to have a boat house, ideal as one is. There are many other excellent and adequate shelters. Boat houses, though, need not be expensive where ice conditions aren’t bad. But it is wise to remember that breaking ice can pack a lot of power.- Garages are often fine shelters, as are carports. Heated garages suit a metal boat and trailer; unheated ones gen erally aren’t bad for a wood boat on a trailer. If a carport is used, it should be on the north side of the house, away from the sun. A shed or other shelter near the water’s edge needs only a boat dolly or rollers to make storing a quick job. A marine railway or overhead eyebeam rig will run the boat to the shed. Temporary shelters often serve almost as well as perm anent ones. A ridgepole will keep canvas, if used, off the hull, allowing ventilation and less trapping of moisture. Shelter for the floating boat need be a roof only; no side is needed, since the shelter could not keep out moisture with the water right below. A simple hoist in an over-water shelter will keep the boat above water. TELL US VOUR PROBLETU •Y JOHN —4 JANf STRICKLAND OAREY McCLELLAN, angrUdd ^ Avenue, Dearborn, MMdgsa, ttys be reached the aye several years a*o where be ioand he was considered •‘an eld man**, and not often any respect paid his opin ion. “Respect for the aged** was the best he coold hope for in the way of general treatment. Indignant? Of course. Did those young pip-squeaks think his ex perience counted for nothing. Why, half the time he found that they didn’t know what they were talk ing about; their actions were mo tivated entirely on the faith that this country has in youth. Humph! Mr. McClellan had experienced both youth and age, and he had found that if anything, age, and the knowledge, that comes with it, far outstrips what youth has to offer. But make the younger gen eration see that? Impossible! So he up and told one of those up starts just that one day. Where did it get him? Exactly * ; _ nowhere. The young man was merely tolerant in an offhand way, Carey mulled over that unpleasant incident for days. Then he decided on another line of approach which he tried out first on a new young man. When this youngster began telling him the advantages of something he had to sell, Mr McClellan said, “I admire the study you have given to what you are selling; your knowledge of what it will do is very helpful to a customer.” Only after his purchase was wrapped up did he tell the young clerk some things he had learned about a similar article. What hap pened then? The clerk said, “I am glad you told me that; it will help my other customers.” Mr. McClellan mulled over that incident for a week. Comparing the two experiences he decided to continue to follow the second method. He declares that it has not only made him a lot happier but has benefltted him material ly- DANCING FOOTWEAR s ‘iSCOOPER” Black Kid TAPERED TOE AAA TO B $7.95 £ A ft *3 ft ft ft ft I ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft x ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft 1 ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft S g Anderson’s Shoe Store I g g "I’m not joining anythingl n The doctor was cordial when I walked in for my annual check-up. But he wasn’t too happy when I surprised him in the middle of my blood pressure test by asking...”W/iy don't you support your chamber of commerce?" I knew what his answer would be before he told me.. .. He didn’t like organizations! That was the gist of it, as he busied himself with the stethoscope. “Professional men don’t need the chamber’s help,” he continued. It’s great for the corporation executive, the retailer and the tradesman. But not for me. I’m not joining anything!” Look at it this way, I told him as we moved over to the X-ray machine. “It takes a growing city to give a professional man more opportunities. And that s how your chamber works. It attracts new industries, more people ... and so, in turn, new patients for doctors and dentists, new clients for lawyers and other professional men.” The rest was easy! Especially when I reminded him . . . “Professional men, as taxpayers, benefit from community activities. The chamber is building business, and better business means wider professional opportunities.” It turned out happy all around. I got the big okay on my check-up and walked out feeling like I’d evened the score on services rendered. Guess that’s just about the size of it too. Now there isn’t a more ardent chamber member in town than Doc . . . and you ought to see the patiehts pack his office come visiting hours. TELL US VQUR PROBLEITI AND UTT US PASS IT ON TO NCLP OTNCKS M SOLVMG TMCNtl. $ BY JOHN anrf JANE STRICKLAND R alph margetson, t wn- iows Court, Regina, Canada, was one of the many young men of his country and ours who have had to work their way through college. He supplemented what he earned on the campus with what he earned during his sum mer vacations. His father had his own business and could use all the help he could get, particular!v during the sum mer months "''^n his employees had vacations So Ralph worked for his father in a business in which he had no interest and at a job he normally would never have undertaken, i.e., selline He was no salesman and he k- it; he didn’t even want to be a sales man. But sell, he must. Day after day went by . r his sales counted for practK' -th ing. He wasn’t interest his customers nor in w m they wanted. Then he read an ar 1 bout an insurance salesman vent out to sell insurance ; as a failure. That is, urn i was taught the value of t ism. He put nnthusiasm that didn’t even feel into his work, and lo and behold, soon he actually became enthusiastic. Ralph decided to emulate this insurance man. He pretended to be enthusiastic ovet the article the next customer was interested in. and found himself agreeably sur prised when the sale was consum mated. He tried a dose of enthusi asm on the next customer, who, too, made a purchase. Throughout the day Ralph kept this up, and before the day was over he found himself really pleased when he supplied a customer with some thing he wanted. He began tc feel truly enthusiastic over the goods he sold. Came the end of the summer. Said his father, “Son, 1 wish I could find a dozen young men who are as good at selling as you are. I could make a fortune— and so could they.” When Ralph finished college, he found that we all have something to sell, whether it be our brains, our energy, or a commodity, anc he found that this same Enthusi- asm is a vital factor in selling suc cessfully whatever it is we have to sell PUMP handle RUBBER NO STICKING .. .
