Boating
Becomes
an
Increasihgly
Rdpulaif Sport
Several years ago, " the boat
owner was a person who owned
a summer cottage on a lake or
stream, with a boat house or
covered dock to berth his craft
But now, since the development
of the lightweight, easy-to-handle
boat trailer, boat owners may be
found anywhere in the country
in the heart of a metropolis or in
arid regions far from any body
of water. -
' It's a natural for any father
on Father's Day or otherwise.
' The light, modern boat trailer
is a dock-on-wheels that is scarce
ly noticeable trailing behind a
car. Perfect balance and easily
operated hand winches make put
ting a boat in the water a simple,
dry-feet process for only one
man. - -
Adjustable cradles and scien
tifically designed supports make
it possible, on some models, to
leave a motor on the stern of
the boat in transit
The sportsman has found a
new freedom. With his boat and
trailer tagging along' behind, he
can explore new waters and wil
derness regions not yet devel-
oped for the resort trade.. He can
keep his boat at home, free from
damage and dock rentals, and
strike out for a weekend adves
tore in any direction he pleases.
What's the reason, for a tre
mendous upsurge i in boating in
terest? ' i i; ; ". ; - .
For one thing, the old family
"rowboaf used to weigh -ISO to
400 pounds.: Now it's possible to
get a cedar strip, canvas cov
ered craft which weighs only 67
pounds and carries four persons.
Aluminum, plastic, and plywood
boats run' from 97 to 14 pounds.
One man can handle most of
them with ease, j
Motors have been trimmed by
almost one-fourth of their com
parative pre-war .weight.
Boating is 'regarded as ai safe
and healthful form of relaxation,
but accidents do happen and
often needlessly so.
To prevent these mishaps, a
motor manufacturer offers the
following safety rules: -
(1) Check your boat for weak-
i
nesses and leaks before putting
it in the water.
(2) Don't overload a boat or
overpower it with a motor larger
than t the ; manufacturer recom
mends. - ' .
(J) Keep an eye on the weath
er, and head for a sheltered bay
before a storm breaks.
(4) Carry life preservers for
all persons in the boat
,$) Carry a small fire extin
guisher in all boats having either
an outboard or inboard engine.
(fi) Beware -of larger craft un
derway; their wake can be dan
gerous.
(7) Don't stand in a boat and
use care when changing seats.
(8) Don't drink alcoholic bev
erages when boating.
(9) Dont be a "hot rod." Care
less; or reckless drivers are as
much a public - nuisance and
safety hazard on water as on the
hi lways. -
(10) Stay with the boat If it
overturns: - don't above alL at
tempt to swim for shore.
Slow down! See the country.

Singing in Church Often Leads
To Success in Opera, Concert
By GEORGE CORNELL
NEW YORK 1 Some people
get famous by going to church.
At least, the church and syno
gogue today have become an al
most standard stepping stone on
the road to success in operatic and
concert singing.
Hundreds of thousands of youth
ful singers get their early experi
ence before an audience in the
churches.
"It's good for them," said noted
Voice Coach Armando Aliberti,
"and it's good fojKthe churches."
The church historically has in- i
spired some of the world's great
est music Now in America, it has
become a key schooling ground
for vocal artists.
More than half the present gen
eration of voice pupils are estimat
ed to be spending their weekends
singing in church choirs.
"It can be excellent training in
musicianship," Aliberti said. "The
idea that they must learn some
thing new every week, and learn
it quickly, is fine experience.
"Good sight reading is a prime
requisite in the churches, and it is
important for singers to master
this technique."
Although many aspiring singers
perform first in hometown church
es and schools, they usually go to
the bigger cities to seek their ca
reers. So it is in these centers that the
churches and temples get the se
lect crop of gifted choir members.
Young singers also often travel to
suburbs and nearby towns for week
end church jobs.
Steel Jamison, whose New York
musical agency specializes in plac
ing young singers in church choirs,
said he handles assignments for
nearly 5,000 of them.
They fill choirs, sing solos, and
take parts in quartets and en
sembles in churches here and a
half dozen surrounding states.
"It Is a tremendous asset to
them," he said.
They not only get the experience,
but usually get paid for it Some
volunteer their services, like vocal
ly endowed members of the con
gregations, but most of the strug
gling young singers depend on
choir or solo fees, to help support
themselves.
"Many can almost pay for their
voice lessons with what they make
in the churches," Jamison said.;
Depending ' on the size of the
church and its budget choir fees
usually range from 15 to $10 a
service. Some are less, some more.
Soloists get $10 to $30 and up on
the average.
This doesn't include ' the estab
lished singers who have made a
profession of church singing. Em
ployed only by larger churches,
these make from $2,000 to $6,000
a year. They, and advanced pupils,
often are booked for appearances
-around the country in oratorios and
special church musical programs.
Although most small town church
es md a few in the cities recruit
their choirs from the congregation,
most larger churches have found
they must hire singers to have
effective choirs.
. "Almost all of them have to pay
to get really good music," Jami
son said. ,i - :.:
Some hire 'only soloists, some a
soloist and a first chair member of
the choir. Others hire nearly the
entire choir, using only the few
from the congregation who are
competent vocalists. These often
are elderly church members who
hav had voice training or young
members specially gifted.
During religious holidays, par
ticularly in some of the 1 larger
Jewish synagogues during observ
ances extending over several days,
young singers often earn several
hundred dollars.
But while the church jobs help
the students financially during their
beginning years, perhaps pays their
food bill or for their coaching les
sons, it also helps launch them into
public singing.
