NOT SO BAD, REALLY Too many yachtsmen view winterizing as a bigger chore than it should be. A carefully planned and executed program mow reduces work to a mini- mum and will make next sea- son's boating - launching that much easier. So here goes. First of all, if your boat is te be stored dry, give the bot- tom and topside a scrub with a pine oil cleaner as soon as boat is hauled out. If the bottom gets dry, this becomes a tough job. Drain fresh water lines and Rank. A light touch of oil on removed fittings will make pring hook-up easier, Change engine oil and oil fit- tings. This eliminates corrosion from acids in the old oil and readies the lubrication system for spring. Remove spark plugs and add about an ounce of oil to each cylinder and replace Plugs. Or add a 50-50 oil-kero- Bene mixture directly into the ) PU St. Gregory' s CPTA air intake with engine running until"engine stalls with the rich | mixture. FUELISH PRECAUTIONS Finally, drain the carburetor. No half-full a. tanks for the winter! Fuel tanks storage, full iuel tanks mini- mize tank corrosion, gum for- tion from atmospheric moisture (air breathes in and out of tank with temperature changes). Chrome work should be pol- ished and coated with a pro- tective film. Use a good anti- corrosion aerosol spray or old stand-bys like wax or vaseline. Ventilation is most important. If the boat is stored in a shed-- protected from the weather -- open up all portholes, hatches, and drawers. Even lift up a few floor boards, if necessary, to insure free air circulation. This pre- vents mildew and, what is worse, dry rot. If storing the boat outside, use a canvas cover with ventilating flaps, MAIN SWITCH OFF In the electrical department, .|the main switch should be turned off and the boat should not 'be connected to powerlines at dockside, except as needed for intermittent battery chang- ing. These precautions minimize fire hazard from electrical shorts and electrolysis if your boat is in wet storage. Storage batteries should be kept charged and distilled wa- ter added as needed. While small batteries can be taken ashore it is better--and for the skipper, too -- to leave langer ones aboard. Check batteries every 4 to 6 weeks. Modern electrical gear is im- pregnanted against humidity damage. So, leave this equip- ment aboard and save your strength, LEAVE THE LINENS Remove linens and blankets only if they need cleaning-- #509 VERMONT One of the many delightful Mary Maxim patterw.

On final clean-up day, equip your bucket brigade with swabs, sponges, plastic pails, an all- purpose pine cleaner, paper towels, and all-purpose wax and polish. Making good use of basics will assure your '"'com- mand" a shipshape look the year around. Friendship Leaps Language Barrier MONTREAL (CP)--The liness and fear of an Eskimo woman in a hospital far from her northern home have been eased by the friendship and kindness of an Indian woman sharing the same room. The_story began in Montreal General Hospital last June when Mary Tukkiapik of Koar- tuk in Quebec's Arctic area was flown here for an operation. She was put in the same room as Mrs. John Scott-Jacobs, an Iroquois Indian from nearby Caughnawaga. At first there was no com- munication between them, but Mrs. Scott - Jacobs became! aware that Mrs. Tukkiapik wae frightened in the strange sus roundings. Sign language solved the -| problem and they began com> municating freely. ach learned the other had five children, Mrs. Tukkiapils told of her life in the Far North, explaining that until several years ago she lived in an ighe and several times had brushes with death while hunting on the ice with her husband. As the fall be coolest weather, Mrs. - Jacobs realized that Mrs, ggg had arrived wearing running shoes and light garments and lacked winter clothing. She ap- pealed to her friends at Caugh- nawaga to supply warm clothes. What! What! 'Inconvenience? Having children, running out of milk, end heving te--get to @ store to buy more milk. Convenience?
