dam has been set up at this time.

ets and all-around general equip
ment for the small or large boat

in which boats got into trouble and
methods of prevention.
Also pointed out by Henclerlie
was the fact that the Coast Guard
has patrols on duty at all limes
to help protect the public in case
they need assistance or are in anv
trouble. People not familiar with
j the area in which they are plan
! ning to fish should contact t h e
Coast Guard for information. ,
Two films labeled "Safety
Afloat" where shown to the 30 per
sons present at the open meeting.
The Umpqua Boat Club has at
the present time a membership of
about 50 and plans are being laid
