Storage Advise For Boat Owners Pleasure boat owners who lay up their craft during the winter months would do well to give a little thought to the matter now, although several score of good boating days still lie ahead. For one thing, anyone planning to store in a reservation.

With the large number of new boats that took to the water this season, boatyard space, already in short supply, is going to be at a premimum this fall. Some boat owners who have the land area available at home like to store their craft there, even boats up to 30 feet. In many instances, the cost of having a firm haul a boat from the water to a backyard and back again in the spring is less than

Doctor, Fd Like To Know—

MY FI VE - year-old granddaughter contracted purpura after measles. What causes purpura and does it leave any after-effects? Mrs. L. J., Illinois Dear Mrs. J.: Purpura is a blood disorder which is characterized by 1 tiny pinpoint blood-red spots _ beneath the skin and the mucous membrane linDr. Coleman ing of the mouth. These are called petechiae. This condition is almost always identified with a decrease in an important element in the blood called platelets. The causes of purpura are many and varied. Some cases of purpura are transient; others are more serious. This condition sometimes occurs as a “sideeffect” of certain viral or bacterial infections, like measles or meningitis. The likelihood is that the purpura your grandchild had was a temporary condition incidental to her case of measles, and will probably leave no after-

effects. • • •

Our 16-year-old daughter had a plastic operation on her nose five months ago. Since then her menstrual periods have become very irregular. She seems to Buffer from complete exhaustion after the slightest activity. Can this be due to the operation? Mrs. J. M., Rhode Island Dear Mrs. M.: An operation of any kind can temporarily upset the physical and emotional equilibrium of a patient. A plastic operation may be accompanied by a particularly

high degree of emotional strain because patients often build up such great hopes and expectations about the results. It is natural for a person of any age to be emotionally affected by the decision to change her appearance. The menstrual cycle is frequently irregular even under completely normal conditions. It is entirely conceivable that your daughter’s operation and the anxiety connected with it may have temporarily disturbed the normal pattern of her menstrual cycle. Consult your physician. He can offer reassurance. In many instances specific medications cam be used to re-es-tablish regularity. • • • We are discussing venereal disease with our teenage children. Can you tell me how syphilis is spread? Can a young child pick up this disease? Mr. M. T., Ontario Dear Mr. T.: You are wise to educate your children about this disease. Too few people realize that syphilis is still a vast threat to health, even in this age of wonder drugs. Syphilis is spread by intimate body contact Children most definitely can acquire it too. Even babies can be born with congenital syphilis. Every public health agency all over the world wiU gladly supply excellent educational material about this disease and its prevention. While Dr. Coleman cannot undertake to answer individual letters, he wiU use reader* questions in his column when* ever possible and when they are of general interest. Address your letters to Dr. Coleman <n care of this newspaper.

boatyard storage. The owner has the advantage of having his boat at hand for fitting out for next season. A good idea is to check costs with the trucking firms now. Another possibility for winter moth-balling is wet storage, or storage afloat. In many areas boatyards use hot air pipes rununderwater alongside docks to keep the water ice-free and eliminate damage from that source. Here again, it’s a good idea to check now on available space. In areas where ice is less fre- | quent, these de-icing systems are not necessary and many owners prefer wet storage. They point out that the water provides a perfect cradle and planks never dry out. However, a spring haulout usually is necessary for bottom painting and checking underwater fittings. Many boaters have their own trailers and these are the winter resting places for their craft, usually at home in garages or backyards. Now is a good time to check trailers, touching up rust spots, greasing wheel bearings, inspecting tires. This is also a good time to I check boat cradles to make cer-

tain all supports are.secure and the year ahead adequate. Poor shoring can spring a boat’s hull and the result is poor perform-

ance in the years ahead. Another pre-layup chore that

can be gotten c of the way now is a close inspection of the boat's cover. Winter covers often rot out at the seams or develop weak spots that winter winds could turn into huge rips. It’s easier to repair these now
