This has been the third hole-in-one made on the coarse this year and the first for Snellenberger. How To Select ; Correct Prop Bob and Bill have identical rigs, , 16-foot runabouts powered by a 75 * horsepower engine. But Bob’s boat 1 is able to snap two skiers out of the ( water with ease. Bill is lucky if he ( can get one lightweight up. Bill tinkers with his engine con- ] tinuously. He’s sure it’s a “lemon.” In fact, he’s ready to trade it in. Bob was smart and conducted , prop tests on several wheels when j he purchased his new rig. Bill, on , the other band, never gave it a j thought. What the heck, he reason- j ed, that’s the prop that came with 4 the engine it must be the right one. “Wrong,” reports the engineer. ] The propeller on the engine when ; it comes out of the factory is con- j sidered ‘'standard.” It is designed | to allow the engine to run at its ] rated rpm and horsepower, at full ; throttle on an average boat with an average load. With the wide variety of boats on the market and the ; many boat-engine combinations, it i is obvious that this standard prop may not fill the bill in many cases, i On many installations the standard propeller should be changed before i the first run. There’s only one way to make sure your rig has the correct prop, and that’s have your marine dealer . measure engine rpm’s with a tachometer. All tests should be conducted at full throttle under normal load situations” is the key phrase 1 for every boatman to remember. Conducting the test is simple. Your owner’s manual lists the correct rpm range for your engine. At full throttle the dealer can check he tachometer to see if the rpm reading corresponds to the manual's recommendations. If the reading exceeds the maximum, you need a propeller with more pitch. The “pitch” is the angle at which the blades are attached to the propeller hub. The greater the pitch, the greater the bite the blades make into the water. An engine turning less than the minimum rpm’s needs a propeller with less pitch. In this case, the blades are taking too big a bite. The engine simply can’t produce enough torque to turn the propeller fast enough. Continuous operation puts excessive strain on the working parts and cuts engine life. Water ski enthusiasts like Bill and Bob have somewhat of a special problem. They need a prop that will deliver the necessary initial thrust to pull skiers to the surface. Chances are this ski-prop will allow the engine to run slightly over the maximum rpm when you’re not pulling skiers. If this happens, retard the throttle until the engine returns to the maximum safety level Mrs. Fredonna Dibler, Lake Wawasee, has had recent guests, Mr. and Mrs. John Todd of Ligonier and Mr. and Mrs. Channing Todd and family of South Bend.

Carolyn Smith Wins State Title In Skiing

Carolyn Smith, 18, of Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Smith, Syracuse, attended the three-day state waterski meet on the St. Joseph river at Mishawaka last week end. Miss Smith won first in slalom, second in jumps and third in tricks to become the women’s champion in her division. Miss Smith’s sister, Cathy, 15, also participated in the meet and won two trophys, a second in trick and a second in slalom. The meet was the Indiana State Waterski meet. Miss Smith was last year’s overall state women’s champion.

Don’t Feed Those Cute Black Bears When you hand that cute black bear one of your picnic sandwiches this summer, you are not only risking your own life and limb, but you may also be doing irreparable damage to the bear’s morals. Even worse than the mar on the bear’s psyche, you may be contributing to its eventual execution. Chicago Motor club tour counselors, who each year route thousands on pleasure trips to our national parks, agree with the liberally sprinkled signs along park highways: “Please don’t feed the bears.” Park rangers say that the bear who has come to look upon the tourist automobile as a rolling snack bar soon turns into a tramp. It won’t exercise by hunting down its own food. Its coat—through lack of exercise and proper diet—turns shabby. And, as any hungry tramp might be inclined to do, it is likely to turn mean if a handout is not forthcoming. When that happens, it goes after the food, often quite forcefully. This has resulted in serious injury to wellmeaning tourists, and countless dollars in damage to automobiles. Some bears which become too mean have had to be destroyed. Others have had to be destroyed because tourist handouts have dulled their hunting instincts—to prevent them from starving to death during the cold winter months while the traveler is back home sipping hot toddies by his comfortable fireplace. The Chicago Motor club says that peaceful coexistence, without offering aid and comfort to the enemyin this case, the bear—is the best policy. View them from a safe distance. If you must take photographs, never get out of your automobile to do the shooting. Snap the pictures through a closed car window. This is especially important if cubs are present. Mama bear is a protective animal and inclined to become resentful if tourists approach her cubs too closely. When you park your car, dose it and lock it. Bears have been known to do an incredible amount of damage to the interior of a car in their search for tidbits. The bear is a strong wild animal, and all it needs is a clawhold to get inside. This may disturb the traveler inclined to worry about the bacteria count on his food, but it’s best- to keep your food securely locked in the car’s trunk when you’re motoring in bear country. Park rangers offer this bit of safe advise: Never try to pet a bear, or make friends with it. All it is interested in is what you might have in the other hand.

Be on the lookout for bears in these national parks — Yellowstone, Sequoia and Kings Canyon, Yosemite, Great Smoky Mountains, Glacier, Grand Teton, Olympic, Crater Lake, Lassen Volcanic, Mount Rainier, Mount McKinley, and Rocky Mountain—and in Glacier Bay National Monument. Rangers have discovered bears will eat almost anything. A few years ago, park officials were dismayed to learn that their signs reading “Please don’t feed the bears” were being chewed upon —by the bears. They thought the bears were becoming canny as well as demoralized, until they discovered the animals had a yen for some peculiar taste in the cedar wood. The rangers haven’t had as much trouble since they changed the wood. SYRACUSE LOCAL

Campers In State Parks May Call For Restrictions

Restrictions may have to be plac- { ed on campers in the near future be-1 cause of increasing crowded con- j ditions at Indians state parks, Joseph A. Blatt, director of the State Parks and Memorials Division said yesterday. “We may have to close state park gates on campers when camping sites are filled to capacity,” he said, adding that Indiana is one of a few states which still has an open door policy. “We have always felt that it was unfair to shut the door on someone who has driven long distances to camp and if nothing else that we should get them off of the road,” he said. Attendance at Indiana’s 22 state parks has increased about five per cent over last year’s attendance of 4.293.293. About 45 per cent of those going to paries stayed overnight and about 25 per cent were family campers who lingered longer. Blatt said that some of the parks are showing signs of “overuse.” Some of the increasing problems facing park officials are vandalism, I keeping restrooms clean and main-! tained, chasing motorcyclists off horse trails ami finding capable employes for low pay. “A state park is becoming more like a transient city, but our problems are worse than a city because our population is up and down at various times of the year,” Blatt i said. Buying more acreage near state ' parks has been accelerated in the last few years, but Blatt feels this will not solve the problem completely. “We have found that even if you open a new park that attendance will not drop off at other parks, and the new park will be jammed full,” he said. Blatt said he could foresee the day when campers would have to call for reservations in order to find a camping site. He said he thought private enterprise also could play a role in the camping problem by financing and operating non-publk parks. “Os course, a solid line of communication between the state and private park owners would be needed in order to establish a good park plan throughout the state,” he said. Plans are being made to curb the overuse of picnic and camping grounds by moving the rites around like a cup is moved around on a golf green. “But I just don’t see any end in sight for the camping trend,” Blatt said. He said the desire of people to “get away from it all and return to nature” is sparked by crowded city conditions, more leisure time, and because “it’s cheaper than staying

in a hotel or motel.” A camp site in a state park runs $1 a day and 50 cents for electricity, if a camper wants it Gate admission is 20 cents a person and 35 cents a vehicle. Boy Scouts, Giri Scouts, church and youth groups can camp for a fiat rate of 10 cents a person. About 50,000 such persons do it every year, statistics show. Pokagon State Park near Angola is used by the most campers almost every year. Indiana Dunes State Park receives the highest overall attendance. Second in popularity is Brown County, but it stands out as an exception because most of the traffic is in the fall when the trees turn red and gold. Blatt continued: "It goes without saying that the biggest of campers come in June, July and the first tw’o weeks in August. Memorial Day and July 4th are really big. I wish more people uxxild camp in September and Oc-

tober, but of course the children are back in school then.” He said there was a time when camp sites were filled to the brim only on week ends, but now they are crowded throughout the week. Despite the crowded conditions, the state park division stresses family participation at the parks. Much of the budget is spent for hiking, swimming, horseback riding, cribin and camping facilities. The operating budget for the last fiscal year was about $1.2 million and the total revenue was about $1.4 million. The difference is kept in reserve to meet the unexpected. Land purchases are paid for from state cigarette tax receipts. ——- Should you fertilize your lawn in July?
