MEDFORD. MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. ORE. WEDNESDAY. JUNE St. lttt Boating Safety Is Essential The millions of Ameri cans who enjoy boating h o u 1 d always follow tiicse few .simple rules for boating safety: Carry n approved life preserver or cushion for each person aboard. This is required by law in most slates and on federal wa ters. Children and non swimmers should wear a life vest at all times. When using the cushion type life preserver, wear it across the chest iut across the back. Don't overload the boat. Know its capacity in pounds or persons -the number people it can seat Is not a safe guide. Balance the boat load. Distribute evenly from side to side and from bow to stern. Keep all passengers seated on the seats, not on the gunwales or deck. Never stand up in a small boat unless you are sure it is big and stable enough to support you. If necessary to change po sitions keep low and hold on to both, gunwales. Don't overpower the boat. Too big a motor may cause damage. Check Weather Watch the weather. Get ashore before a storm breaks. If caught in a storm, keep passengers low by having them sit in the bottom of the boat, (lead into the waves at low speed. If the boat capsizes, stay with it and wait for help. Don't try to swim ashore! Keep your speed down in harbors or anchorages or when passing close to swimmers, fishennen or olher boats. Head into waves or the wake of another bout at an angle. Don't ride par allel to them or take them over the stern. Never leave the dock without basic safety equipment paddle, anchor and line, fire ex tinguisher, horn or whit tle, bailing device and the required running lights, if there is any chance you may be out after dark. Know the marine "rules of the road" and follow them in passing or overtaking another boat. Keep a sharp lookout at ail times for obstruc tions or other boats. Watch your wake it may swamp another craft or damage shore installa tion. Remember that courte sy and common sense are the basic rules for safety afloat. WASH AND WEAR Easy-wash, little-or-no-iron fabrics are a real iKKin to travelers, espe cially those overseas. Be wise and see that when ever possible the clothes you take along have this feature. Other good trav elers in fabric are wools, knits, silks, jerseyes, and prints in most any fabric as these camouflage spots and wrinkles. Cullegc campuses will be cape-happy this au tumn. One tent-like cape o fclaret red wool flan nel buttons up to the neck and has its own matching slim skirt. Heading the new silhou ette popularity parade right along side capes are ponchos - bright plaids and solid shades in cotton poplins, synthetics and wools. SHIRT POCKET TRAT-ELER-The word for this miniature all transistor radio. Weighing a mere nine ounces, including the battery, the radio is en closed in a non-breakable case that makes it a per fest go-everywhere trav eling companion. Olive and ivy tones of green will be afoot with the males come fall. The National Shoe Institute reported that every ma jor shoe company is pre paring new footwear in every shade of olive from pale grayed tones to al most black. They come in brushed and suedes, in waxed finishes. Do not be misled by the fact that you can leave the United States with out a smallpox vaccina tion. In order to get back in you must have had one within the past three years and be able to prove it. Be suhe your doctor signs a certificate to this effect on the ap proved World Health Or ganization card. Keep the card with you. Improvements are con tinually being made in the nautical charts Pub lished by the Coast and Geodetic Survey, U. S. Department of Commerce to meet the demands of the ever-growing fleet of small craft operating in the coastal waters of the United States. Don't Carry Much Cash on Travels The practical way to carry your funds, no mat ter where you are going to travel, is in travelers' checks. The $10 or $20 denominations are best. In many outside-of-the-U. S. spots, travelers' check payments are sura to meaa a discount on your purchaae. It' advisable to keep about $23 in cash with you at all times, and even better if it is in $1 bills. Don't bother with ex changing your currency here; all foreign banks offer this service. LIST VALUABLES Before leaving the U.S. have any valuable jewel ry, binoculars, furs or foreign cameras certified by Customs. Thus there will be no trouble about possible duty charges when you return. HANGERS The easy -to-oarry -along plastic hangers will come in mighty handy for dry ing clothes, and in Europ for hanging up clothes, as many hotels furnish very few hangers. If you're going abroad this summer and any part of your trip will be de voted to business (such as convention, fair, research aa an author or teacher, etc.) it will pay you to cheek on the federal In come tax laws.
