Jias hit 4he boat industry and
before long, the price on 15
foot runabouts may drop so
low that just anybody can af
ford one, a boat builder said
today.
"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

The University of San Fran

The Okaloosa County Sher

ages range from 9 to 12.
They were last seen play

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

A mixture of rain and sleet
was falling this morning in

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

Changing Skies Among
Liked Characteristics
By FAY. 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.

Brethren lie just below Auri
ga with their feet, still some
what higher than their heads,
in the edge of the Milky
Way. 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.
A joint announcement by
the Commerce and Labor De
partments will put the Jan
uary jobless total at about

disclosed by Commerce Sec
retary Sinclair Weeks.
Weeks said Sunday that un
employment may rise as high

followed by a prompt decline,
The commissioner of Jabor
statistics for the Labor De
