The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, May 25, 1967—PAGE 11 SPORTS By Ted The Federal Boating Act of 1958 required each state to adopt boating laws meeting cer tain minimal standards or have its waters regulated by stand ards set by the U. S. Coast Guard. This spur has produced a welter of legislation that shows no sign of diminishing, and every small-boat owner must learn and obey the laws of the particular state where he uses his boat. However, the fol lowing general principles apply: Reciprocity. The federal act required each state to maintain a 90-day reciprocity period. That means if you live in Cali fornia and want to take your boat to Utah, you can do it for at least 90 days and not get fin ed, provided your boat displays legal California numbers. How ever, this pertains to numbering only; it doesn’t excuse the out- of-state boat from complying with Utah’s equipment and op erational requirements. Area of principal use.

M25-4tc Besting j live and vote and pay taxes in , one state but keep your boat in another, the area of principal use decides in which state you i should number your boat. For example, you live in Chicago, but keep a runabout on a Wis consin lake where you spend the summer. The boat is principally used in Wisconsin and should be registered there. Numbering. Generally the numbers go on either side of the bow, in block letters three inch es high and in a contrasting col or to the hull color. Letter groups must be separated from numeral groups: NJ 1899 A, not NJ1899A. Sale, abandonment and acci dent. If you sell or wreck or lose your boat or change your ad dress, the appropriate agency must be notified. If you have an accident that does more than $100 damage in most states ($50 in a few), it must be reported. Ventilation. The newest Coast Guard regulation says every boat must carry venting ducts that sweep gasoline fumes from any enclosed compartments where they might collect. A Coast Guard pamphlet, “Venti lation Systems for Small Craft” (CG-395), explains it all in de tail ; it’s free from Command ant, U. S. Coast Guard, Wash ington, D. C. 20226. Universal. According to Zack Taylor, Boats Editor of Sports Afield Magazine, the following is required by almost all states and always by good sense; a muffler on your engine; a back fire arrestor on inboard carbu retor; running lights at night (a combination red-and-green light forward, white all-around light aft on powerboats under 26 feet, inland rules. Rowboats must show a white light to othpr boats). In addition, good sense requires anchors and oars — the latter in boats small enough to be moved by them—even if state law does not.

COUNTY BUILDING PERMITS Victoria Nelson, Gray St., Helena, eight-room brick ven eer dwelling 1 1-2 miles from Newberry $10,000. The authentic English Village will be the first of six sectors encountered by the visitor to SIX FLAGS Over Georgia. The $12 million park will portray Georgia’s history under dominant flags in the state’s colorful history. Upwards of 1,200,000 visitors are anticipated during 1967 after SIX FLAGS opens in early June. The County Agents Column Regional Type Conference At Headspring Farm Threatening skies failed to dampen the enthusiasm of ap proximately 660 visitors from nine states at the Regional Jer sey Type Conference held at Headspring Farm May 12th. Each year, approximately four such conferences are held across the nation to discuss and evaluate the type and body confirmation of Jersey cows needed to keep making pro gress. This is accomplished by judging of a number of classes of various age cows, heifers and bulls and evaluating the de sirable traits of individual an imals in each class. Five classes of females anc one class of bulls for a total of 38 Jerseys were judged during the conference. Those in attend ance were generous in their appraisal of the Headspring Farm Jersey Herd, now re garded as one of the most out standing Jersey herds in the nation. Time and again the group marveled at the quality of the array of great brood cows and strong young cows and heifers in the Headspring herd. All agreed that the Grand Champion cow of the herd was the three-year-old cow “Head- spring Am Faith” owned by Mary Bryan Parr. “Faith” al ready has an illustrious proof for both type and production. She was 1966 Grand Champion at State Fair and that same year produced 17,369 pounds of milk to win first place for her proud owner in the National Junior Production contest. Owners of Headspring Farm, Mr. and Mrs. Henry L. Parr, treated the guests to a scrump tious barbecue luncheon in the gorgeous rose gardens of Mr. and Mrs. Callie Boyd Parr. The Conference was spon sored by the American Jersey Cattle Club and the South Car olina Jersey Cattle Club. Clyde Chappell, noted Jersey Cattle Judge from the University of Tennessee officiated the Con ference. Assisting in showing the cattle were Lee Sparks, herds man and George Waddell, as sistant herdsman, for Head- spring Farm. Members of the Newberry 4-H Dairy Calf Club also assisting included Henry L. Parr Jr., Mary Bryan Parr, Calhoun Parr, Mary Margaret Parr, Evelyn Parr, Harriett Senn and Janet Senn. NEW ADDRESSES Mr. and Mrs. Donald Long have moved to 2101 Ola street to make their home.

LANGFORD — SON, Newberry, S. C. SIGNS OF EVERY KIND— Call Thorn Adams at 3399 and he will be glad to call on you M18-3tc Woman of West Point West Point is more than the Long Grey Line of the Corps of Cadets. It is more than the history and tra dition of the United States Military Academy. The rough grey stone buildings, the flags whipped in the wind off the Hudson and the briskly marching cadets symbolize the United States Army —an Army in which men and women serve proudly together. Here against the grey walls of Army history, today’s members of the Women’s Army Corps go about their duties in an organi zation as filled with its own tra ditions as the United States Mili tary Academy. Though many people may not realize it, a WAC detachment of medically trained technicians is assigned at West Point. Here, members of the WAC, go about their duties with enthusiasm and skill. They, too, represent a way of life that has produced Grant, Lee, Pershing, Patton, Kisenhow- er and myriads of unsung heroes of our past, present and future. The group of women at West Point is an example of one of the many ways the WAC helps to keep the vast Army machine mov ing at peak efficiency. Members of the Women’s Army Corps do not get their training at West Point. They — officers and enlisted women alike — are trained at Fort McClellan, Ala bama. When their schooling is completed, the women are assign ed to Army posts all over the United States. Later, many wom en will have the opportunity to serve their country overseas. A woman who chooses to serve in the Women’s Army Corps does an important job for her country and herself. For her country, she works at one of the hundreds of specialties which the Army needs and in which she has been speci fically trained. Side by side with the others — young men and young women — she helps to keep the Army and her country strong and free.
