"We're producting molded boats at the rate of one hull every 13 minutes," H. A. Mc Cune of Bowman Boat Co. said, "and our engineers tell us that in theory we can get our production up to one hull every three minutes. So in practice It might take five or six minutes." What that difference in production time will mean is between $300 and $400 in the cost of a boat," McCune said. "Last year it was taking us about half an hour to produce a hull," he said, "and we were selling the boats to $975, and when we get that production time down to five or six min utes, I think we can sell them for between $575 and $675.' McCune had no fears about Bowman's ability to dispose of its increasing production, even should the recession continue. "I've had surveys made," he said, "and we found out that during the depression, back in the 30's the sales of fishing boats zoomed up, and the sales of runabouts and cruisers zoomed down. Our boats are all-purpose arid if you happen to knock a hole in the hull, we sell a do-it-yourself repair kit for $14.95 that'll fix any puncture." McCune said his survey partially covered Detroit Auto workers laid off during the depression. "They bought a fishing boat," he said, "closed up their apartment, bought a tent, went out and lived off SPEEDSTER ENROUTE New York HP) Hungary's Istvan Rozavolgyi, world re cord holder at 1500 meters, is arriving in the United States Thursday and is scheduled to face Ron Delany in this Sat urday's mile at the New York A.C. track meet.

American Motors Meant More for American LEA MOTORS Bartlett at 5th, Medford the land. They fished out the cost of the boat." McCune believes that boats should stress safety more than speed. "W've got one of the fastest boats of its size," he said, "but that's just happen stance. What we're proudest of is the fact that we've got 13 cubic feet of flotation in a boat compared to the out board boat club's recommend ation for five cubic feet in a boat that size." 106 Citations Are Issued for Basic Rule Violations Traffic citations for viola tion of the basic rule totaled 106 during January, accord ing to the monthly report of the Medford police depart ment.

The Dons, ranked third among the nation's teams with only one loss in 17 games, tangle with St. Mary's which has won only seven of 18. But, the Gaels have only one loss in WCAC play and a victory over the Dons tonight would deadlock the two squads at the top of the loop standings with 5-1 marks. Third place Santa Clara, with a 3-1 record, will root for St. Mary's and try to knock over College of Pacific at the same time. The Tigers have a ragged , 1-5 mark in conference play!

(IP) Some 400 volunteers searched beaches arid bayous hpre today for five children who have been missing more than 12 hours in rainy, freez ing weather.

They were last seen play ing behind a drive-in restaur ant at around 4 p.m. Monday. Officers said the children told one of the last persons to see them that they were "going camping." But a spokesman for the sheriff's office said, "we believe if they had been planning to go off they would have pick ed better weather." A mixture of rain and sleet was falling this morning in the area, located on the northwest Florida Panhandle. Investigators said they had "learned very little" about the disappearance and could not discount the possibility 01 torn play. The children, all from Fort Walton Beach, were identi fied as Susan Bruckbauer, 9, and her sister, Debfa, 10; Coleen Keller, 11, and her brother, Richard, 12; and Jimmy Ezel, 9.

Radiator Falls; Girl, 8, Killed Portland (IP) Patricia Daniels, 8, was killed Mon day when a radiator fell from a wall and struck her in the gymnasium of the Buckman school here. Authorities immediate ly closed the school gymnas ium and a check was being made of all similar radiator installations in the district. The 600-pound radiator sec tion fell about four feet on a bench. Miss Naomi Cronin, gym class instructor, said she heard a noise, turned around and saw the radiator vibrating. It fell on the girl before the child had a chance to move, she said. Police said an influx of steam may have caused the radiator to vibrate which re sulted in the lower right bolt giving way. The strain may have then pulled loose the lower left bolt and the radia tor broke loose and plunged down, they said. Forty-four buildings in the Portland school system have similar radiators but in only four buildings are they fast ened on wooden walls, school officials said. All the build ings are checked for mainten ance and safety hazards once a year; Buckman school was built in 1921.

A win for Talent this even ing would give it the crown even if second ranking Butte Falls also claims a victory.

BENTLEY The starry dome is ever changing and to many sky gazers this is one of its most fascinating c h a r a c teristics. Constellations which spar kle gloriously in the east on frosty nights of late autumn and early winter are now ris ing in the south or a little east of due south. Some star pictures that were observa ble at 8 p.m., on August eve nings are almost ready to slip from view beneath the west ern horizon. Pegasus, the Flying Horse, Identified by a large some what irregular rectangle rest ing on one corner, is low in the western sky by 8 p.m., with its head just above the horizon. The Great Square forms the body of a mytho logical horse which has been flying, upside down, from east to west across the heav ens since the first part of August. During March It will disappear entirely from the evening sky. To the left or south of the Great Square, sprawled on its side, lies a large pointed V shaped star group called Pisces the Fishes, one of the constellations of the Zodiac. The vertex or point of the 'V is quite a bit higher in the sky than the Great Square, but a little five-sided penta gon, called the Circlet, lies just to the left of the lower corner of the Great Square. High in Southwest High in the southwest the tiny dipper-shaped Pleiades, forming the shoulder of Tau rus the Bull, grace the eve ning sky. The V-shaped Hya- des, representing the face of the Bull, and identified by the reddish, first magnitude star Aldebaran, now are found to the left of Pleiades. At their first appearance in the eastern evening sky, the Pleiades were almost verti cally above the Hyades. Now, the two star clusters lie al most horizontal to each other with the Pleiades farther to the west. Orion the Mighty Hunter who came lazily up in the east on his side now has as sumed an upright position and may be seen standing in the southern sky by 8 p.m. almost exactly due south. Be neath his feet runs Lepus the Hare or rabbit which the two hunting dogs Canis Major and Canis Minor have been pur suing for untold ages. Auriga the Charioteer Auriga the Charioteer by 8 p.m. is almost on the zenith or the middle point of the sky. The brilliant Capella, a yellow, first magnitude star, with the tiny triangle called the Kids lying just to the right of this giant sun, forms a positive identification for this celestial picture.. This star group in the shape of a pentagon or shield lies in the Milky Way and is out lined by Capella and four other less brilliant stars. Gemini the Great Twin UWSENCEBUBG. INDIANA.

The two bright suns, Castor and Pollux, form the heads of these youths and are the identification points for this celestial group. Placed for Observation Turning to the northwest we find Cassiopeia's Chair well placed for observation in the early evening. Always on the opposite side of the heavens from the Big Dipper it is now high in the north west by 8 p.m., while the Great Bear is low. in the northeast. Cassiopeia resembles either an 'M' or a 'W as it encircles the North Star, depending upon its position in the circle it describes. While high in the northwest it gives the appear ance of a sprawled out capi tal M." Just abova Cassiopeia In the Milky Way lies her son-in-law Perseus the Hero. Be low Cassiopeia on the edge of the Milky Way is her hus band, Cepheus, king of Ethi opeia. This fire-starred figure reminds some people of a church steeple; others think it resembles a kite. January Jobless About 4,500,000 Washington (CP) The government was ready to an nounce today a rise of more than one million unemploy ed In January to the highest figure since, the recession winter of 1950.
