A Toronto woman's complaint to her husband has brought new pleasure to owners of eutboard-pewered boats around | t the world and a new industry to Canada. Pot Luck Supper For Federation Mrs. H. Pickard was _ hostess for the May meeting of the Wo- men's Federation of St. Andrew's United Church on Wednesday, May 11, when Mrs. C. E. Peacock was in charge of the devotional period. During the business session Mrs. Lloyd Childs reported that' seven visits had been made to the hos- pital and twelve calls made to the homes of shut-ins. Easter baskets had been made and sent to shut- ins as well. Mrs. T. Cragg, another member of the visiting committee also made two calls. Mrs. L. Green, supply secretary, advised the meeting that two pair of size six pyjamas and, one pair of flanellette sheets were required for the bale that is being sent to Lamont, Sask. Mrs. T. Cragg asked that two new members be elected from the Federation, to serve on the North- dale Manor Auxiliary. The congregational vice-presi- dent, Mrs. C.- Lowery, told the members of the coming rummage sale which is to be held on May 20, with Mrs. A. Green -.as conven- er. Mrs. Green asked that all rum- mage be brought in Thursday af- ternoon. Mrs. G. Wilson announced that she has wool available for any member who would be willing to knit articles during the summer for the fall bazaar. Following a discussion it was felt that it would be wiser to post- pone the family dinner, originally planned for June, until the fall. It is hoped by doing this that more interest will be created in the Sun- day School picnic in June. A pot luck supper was proposed for the June meeting. Plans for this will be finalized at the: com- ing executive meeting. Following this, Mrs. Peacock re- viewed a section of the study book on Africa. This boon to boaters is- the Whitney automatic. It is a single- lever remotc control, designed to replace customary two-lever con- trols by synchronizing throttle and gearshift so that the outboard operator needs only one hand to| achieve forward or reverse, ac- celeration cr deceleration, And by adapting the device to a steering wheel control, the op- erator gets the effect of power- steering, plus gear shift and throttle control, jall in one unit. The idea-sparking complaint came in 1958 when Mrs. C. W. Buddo, of Blythdale Rd., Toronto, asked her husband why it was necessary to master the complex- ity of a two-control mechanism on {their boat. Charley FEuddo, whose early training was obtained at Interna- tional Business Machines' business school at Endicott, N.Y. and their Toronto plant, started to think and after a year's tinkering, he came up with an answer. The answer is a nine-pound com- bination of metal and nylon which requires no lubrication, is corro- sion resistant, can be installed in 15 minutes and which has stil run smoothly after tests equal to 100 years of normal boating. How does it work? When the operator hops off the dock into his Whitney-fitted boat, he pulls out a knob that disengages tthe control's gears for forward or reverse movemenit, starts the motor and then revvs it up by moving the control lever. Once ready to put the boat in motion, he returns tthe lever to the vertical or neutral position and pushes the knob back in to engage the gear shift. Now, by moving the lever ahead, the operator causes the boat to move ahead. By moving the lever back, he causes the boat to re- place automatically and the speed is controlled by the distance to which tthe lever is moved forward or backward. A test conducted by Canadian Applied Research Limited, Tor- onto, testifies to this success in all three aims. After 200,000 op- erating cycles under full load, there were no defects, deteriora- tion or appreciable wear. Boat building has been a hobby of the inventor since he was 12 years: old and although his busi- ness. career has at times taken him a long way irom tthe boating scene, his leisure hours have been devoted largely: to it.
