Main t Esp. Ph. TU 4-3121 If anyone thinks there hasn't been a great boom in the boating business all he has to do is go out on any weekend and take a look at the Upper Lake around the Moore Park area. And if anyone is inclined to think that our algae has proven a deter rent to water sports I can only say that indications would- tend to prove him wrong. The national publications have been full of late of facts and fig ures to prove this boating boom. Almost anywhere you turn one can find comparative percentages of the number of boats now as op posed to the number o boats 10 years ago and so on. Dealers are full of enthusiasm and optimism over continuing rising sales of boats and motors. There has probably been a sur feit of this material published al ready. Hut there are many interesting and non-technical facts which can be stated about boating in the .Klamath Basin. Because there is a long history. Until recent years there were several old dugout canoe remains scattered around the lake at vari ous points. Even today there are a few of these early day craft in a fairly good state of preservation. A GOOD INDICATION of the ever-growing interest in boating can be gained by taking a look at the crowded slips of any of the commercial docks around the Upper Lake. This picture, taken two weeks ago, shows some of the berthed boats at a popular Upper Lake docking facility- were willing to buck the expense and trouble of maintaining their own boats. But since World War II there has been a steady gain in the number of boats on the lake and in the number of types. Sailing has showed a steady gain. But the wind-power buffs are far out stripped by their mechanized coun terparts who are unwilling to rely on anything so unreliable 'as the wind. The number of cruisers on the lake today is many times that of 10 years ago. Likewise, the num ber of runabouts and speedboats nas shown steady gains, I suppose that water skiing has Drought on part of the wild boom But a general interest in boating as wen as Detier, more reliable and cheaper boats and motors has had a good deal to do with it Not to mention the vast strides in the boat transport business.

But one thing Is certain and that is that as long as there has been a Klamath Lake, which is quite a spell, there have been boats in use on its surface. Back in the days of the cruise ment. Any way you look at it, the boat ing is good in the Klamath Basin And anywhere you go, on the many lakes, rivers and streams. you will find the boating frater nity mere berore you. You can find everything in the boating line from power cruisers speedboats to sailing craft of all kind. And, in season, you'll find every kind of fishing rig from rubber rafts to canoes. The same thing holds true during the duck and goose season. It looks like boating is here to stay. As the pictures with this piece point out. boats water travel was ifn ac- to amphibious houseboats. From n-iiru w.iy ui me uuu ine steam ers plied their trade up and down the river and the lake alike. The names of the Winema, the Klamath (on the river run) and the Eagle, Modoc and Wasp are still familiar around these parts. The boats played a big part in the development of the country. In the line of recreation perhaps the Winema is the best known for the weekend cruises to Rocky I'oint and llarriman Lodge. These were joyous affairs with a band aboard and everyone having a won derful time. Then there came a time of com parative quiet on the water when boating was in the hands of the fishermen and hunters, the trap pcri and the dedicated few who RELIGIOUS TV SERIES HOLLYWOOD (UPI) A religi ous series sponsored by the Lu theran Church-Missouri Synod has completed films for its seventh year on TV starting in October.
