Teach Boating Certification Parents wouldn't think of allowing their son or daughter to drive the family car until he or she is fully prepared and had a driver's license. The same should hold true of the family boat. Our young people should know'the rules of good boating and boating courtesy before they are allowed to be out on the Lake. The Wonder Lake Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 6-6 will be con­ ducting classes Saturday, May 7, from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and May 14, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in one of the classrooms at Christ The King school. The final examination Will be held May 14. To be eligible for the course, a child must be at least 12 years old. There is no other age limit, so adults are also encouraged to attend. So many times, it's not the teenagers who cause problems on the lake, but the older boaters who feel they know what they're doing but really don't! Registration is at the Tri-Marine, 4019 E. Lake Shore drive and a registration fee is required. For any further information, call 653-3000.
