PAGE7-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAYf MARCH7, 1973 DOUBLE PREVENTION. McHenry's Roger Ludwig keeps his opponent off balance in an attempt to prevent him from passing. BUT, Geschke is also preventing Roger from leaping to block a pass, by stepping on his foot. The Warriors won their final home game of the season by a 84-63 score to finish in third place in the North Suburban Conference. (STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD) I Coast Guard | Net»s I Boosts Safe Boating At Midwest Boat Show What are the rules of cour­ tesy afloat? Are you aware of the safety practices that you as a boater should know? What laws and regulations, both federal and state, must you know? You can learn the an­ swers to all of these questions and more from the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, the civilian component of the U. S. Coast Guard, dedicated to promoting recreational boating safety. As a public service, the 4th Annual Midwest Boat Show, to be held March 9-18, 1973 at the Arlington Park Exposition Center, Arlington Heights, 111., will include a special exhibit of USCGA Flotilla 3-02, one of the 9th Districts outstanding Coast Guard Auxiliary Units. For the first time, this year the Auxiliary will also be joined by members of the regular U.S. Coast Guard BOSDET team stationed at Fox Lake, Illinois along with their safety equipment display. Information on safe boating, including the legal requirements, both federal and state, rules and regulations afloat and all of the educational programs available to boaters will be provided at the Auxiliary exhibit and in­ formation center. Coast Guard Auxiliary boating safety courses offered to the public include, one, three, eight and a new twelve lesson course in Basic Seamanship and Small Boat Handling as well as a ten lesson course in Navigation. All courses are taught by qualified Auxiliary instructors at various locations throughout the Chicagoland and suburban areas and a list of current 1973 classes and their locations will be available. Information on the Courtesy Motorboat Examination program will also be given at the exhibit. Each year thousands of boat owners request the CME to insure that their pleasure craft meet all of the boating safety requirements. Auxiliary examiners award the respected CME decal to those boats which pass the examination. This decal is recognized by the U.S. Coast Guard boarding teams and by virtually all of the 50 states. Anthony Bianchi, local resident and member of Flotilla 3-02 stated that details of other Auxiliary activities would also be available along with a large variety of free pamphlets, brochures and other handout material as well as state registration forms for boats. Theme of this years show is "Fun In Boating" and most of the shows exhibitors will reflect this mood. More than 100 marine dealers will display all kinds of pleasure craft and boating accessories at the show. Special programs will include a Marine Photography Exhibition, lectures on Coho and Chinook salmon fishing by Captains of the Waukegan Charter Boasts Association, Boating Safety talks by the U.S. Coast Guard BOSDET team as well as a few words from members of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. Show hours of the 4th Annual Midwest Boat Show are Friday, March 9, 6 to 10:30 P.M.: Saturday and Sunday, March 10 - 11, noon to 10:30 P.M.; Monday through Friday, March 12-16, 4 to 10:30 P.M.; Saturday, March 17, noon to 10:30P.M.; Sunday, March 18, noon to 7:00 p.m. Membership in the Coast Guard Auxiliary offers an exciting opportunity to help your fellow boatmen, while improving your own boating skills. Auxiliary membership is open to men and women, at least 17 years old, who are United States citizens. Being an active member of an auxiliary flotilla puts you in direct touch with a group of fellow boaters who are dedicated to common sense and who want to improve boating * * * From The Farm BASEBALL By Pete Fritchie SARASOTA, FLORIDA- This is the new-hope time of the year for baseball fans. They can escape the dull days of February and sneak off to Florida (or Arizona) a n d s e e t h e i r b a s e b a l l heroes. Here in Sarasota hearts beat faster when they think of the chances of the Chicago White Sox. Of course, the Sox will have a tough job overhauling the world champion Oakland A's. But Chuck Tanner has al­ ready worked miracles and so there's hope. The west coast of Florida --centered at Tampa--is the choice location to see Major League baseball in March. Pitchers have already re­ ported and exhibition games begin the first week in March. At Lakeland, the Detroit Tigers, defending division champs who almost upset the A's in the playoffs, are preparing for their exhibi­ tion opener with Minnesota (at Orlando) March 3rd. The St. Louis Cards train in St. Petersburg, as do the New York Mets. The pennant-winning Cin­ cinnati Reds train at Tampa, the Philadelphia Phillies at and to make boating more enjoyable for everyone. You are wlecome to attend our meeting in Wonder Lake as a guest and to meet auxiliary members as well as to find out what they are doing. For fur­ ther information call June Novak at (815-) 653-6093. IT'S A FACT Of all the plant and animal species that have ever lived on the earth, more than 99 percent are now, extinct. Man has had very little impact on this natural selection process which has been a part of the ever- changing environment since the beginning of time. This factor should be evaluated and considered in discussions of environmental protection and pollution problems. One out of every seven persons in the U.S. has been affiliated with 4-H at some time in his or her life. Over 30 million Americans are 4-H alumni. Many are prominent govern­ ment leaders, educators, judges, farmers, homemakers, musicians and military officers - including Alan B. Shepard, Jr., first American in space. AVOID ACCIDENTS When the weather gets fit and the ground becomes workable, farmers will work around the clock to get their crops in. That's why a cleanup of the farmstead and farming equipment now can help you get through the busy farming season without a disabling injury. Farm clutter causes hospitalization of about one out of five farm accident victims. Most of these accidents could have been avoided if time had been taken to put things in good working order and if unused items had been returned to their proper storage place. Begin cleanup in your farm shop. Get rid of oily rags, trash, shavings and scrap metal. Pick up tin cans, loose boards with nails, and pieces of wire* that have accumulated during winter in the barn or barnyard. Keep alleyways clear by putting feed, tools and other equipment in suitable storage areas. Giving your farm a ready- for-spring look now will make it a safer place to work this summer. KEEP EMBLEMS CLEAN A Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem covered with road film, mud and chaff offers little protection. Now is a good time to clean your emblems before the busy spring farming season begins. First rinse emblems with clear water and then wash them with a mild cleaner, such as a dishwasing detergent. Rinse your SMV emblem again, and it will be bright, shiny, and ready to do its job. CONTROL LICE Cattle with a rough hair coat and bare patches of hide showing on their neck are telling you that they are lousy. They are also telling you that you're a poor manager and that you need to spray them to destroy the lice. In cases of heavy infestation, the lice may congregate in one area until they form a "black spot" on the skin. The animal is uncomfortable and feed ef­ ficiency drops under these conditions. Lindance or malathion sprays are effective for beef cattle but follow directions carefully. For best control, spray twice~14 days apart. For dairy use Clearwater, the Boston Red Sox at Winter Haven, the divisional champion Pitts­ burg Pirates at Bradenton. Kansas City's Royals are a little further south, at Fort Myers. All these teams, then, are within a few hours driving by car. And in spring all have high hopes, amid the sunshine and orange trees! D0RKIES 4213 W.
