Howard puffed on his pipe and answered the horn of the squat diesel towboat coming up the Ohio river with a snort. "Boats like her wouldn't have made it 50 miles up-river in the old days," he commented. '-'The drift wood and snags would have wrecked her propel lers," the tall, wiry riverman ex plained. "No sir, the river ain't what it used to be." Steamboating is in the blood of Howard's family. His grand father built his first boat in 1834 and established the, How ard shipyard here. Howard's keen blue eyes have seen the last of the steamboats disappear forever from the river during his 80 . years. But he's making sure the "golden age of steamboating t on't be forgotten with his museum here. His grandfather and father built many of the luxurious and fast packet steamers that plied the rivers of the south. The Howard shipyard turned out more than 2,500 steamboats in its 121-year history, until the government took it . over in 1943 to build landing craft for World War II. Builds Collection,: Today Howard is busy collect ing and filling the rooms of his vast old "Victorian Gothic" home here with the r,elics and re minders of the steamboating era. The museum includes cabin furniture, anchors, bells, whistles, boat models, a cabin door from the famed Robert E. Lee and pictures of packet and cotton steamers. - "It's a big job,"' he said, "and WINNING TOP HONORS at New York's Westminster Ken nel Club show, Champion VVilber J White Swan, snow-white poodle, is judged "best in show," first time one of its breed beat all dogs at Madison Square Garden event. (International) haven't much time left. Steara- boating days are gone but shouldn't be forgotten. There was an individuality about it, a man built a boat and he knew the river and all the people on it "When they'd bring a boat back to the yards to take out her engines and wreck her, I'd pick up what I could from her. Most of her fittings went over the side into the river.. No one wanted them anymore. Why, I remember when the wharf over at Louisville was packed deck to deck . with the packets and cotton boats. Now all you see are coal and car barges." . ' . Howard is making slides to present a pictorial history of steamboating and recording a running commentary on tape about the boats and their cap tains. He plans to offer .it to colleges , and high schools. "My. father," Howard con cluded, "used to say, 'As long as there's water in the rivers there'll be steamboats running on them.' Well, that was before the gasoline and diesel engines.'' PICTURE TUBES REJUVENATED Is your picture tub dull and weak?
