day’s outing, a week-end, or a glorious long vacation, every trip into the great outdoors works up hearty appetites. This means take-along food is required. Almost every meal in the outdoors is either a picnic or a cookout. How best and most conveniently and safely to take the food ailong — and what foods — is mostly a problem for mom. InMant Serving Salads and gelatin desserts prepared at home in advance, for example, can be taken out of an ice chest for instant serving. Pickles, carrot sticks, celery, and olives, add touches of flavor to any outdoor lunch or dinner. The condiments require only a little space in the ice chest. For light breakfast eaters, be sure to take along a variety of dry cereals. Add milk and sugar — instant breakfast ! Rugged Tupperware Cereal Bowls make breakfast easy. Don’t forget hard-boiled eggs for lunch and supper. Deviled eggs can be an outdoor treat. Keep the eggs stored fresh and sealed airtight in the Egg Tray. Store Sandwiches Sandwiches prepared at home can be stored and kept fresh in any number of Tupperware’s plastic containers. Veteran woodsmen and first-time pioneers agree that an ice chest is a recreation item that is a necessity. Utilizing the ice chest most efficiently involves some interesting techniques. It’s an easy task to simply load the ice chest with a sack r two of ice under or on top of perishables. The food will keep fresh .. . but it can become soggy from melted ice. Pools of water can form in the bottom of the chest creating the task of emptying out first the food, then the chest, cleaning the chest, and then putting everything back together again. Instead of dumping loose ice; put in a separate container or use several small containers and place them in different positions. Save yourself the trouble of moving loose ice aroimd until everything fits by keeping the ice in special containers. No Fu*.» or Bother The cold air necessary to keep food fresh can be positioned where you want it. .. without the fuss and bother of shifting melting ice cubes about.

Here’s How to Get the Best Performance Out of Your Outboard

Installing a new set of spark plugs in your outboard when the old ones are ready for replacement is bound to improve the performance of your motor. But there is a lot more to performance than the ignition system — or the outboard motor Itself, for that matter. Outboarders are advised to check several other factors when striving for the best performance and efficiency of their boats. First of all, make sure , the motor is at the right height on the transom. Engine manufacturers who belong to OBC have set up transom heights of 15 inches, or 20 inches in the case of motors with longer shafts. Check the tilt adjustment of the motor, too. Normally, proper tilt is perpendicular to the water at operating speed but it may require adjusting in or out for best performance on your particular boat. Most outboard hulls are also sensitive to weight distribution, so it might be wise to experiment with loads fore and aft to achieve best planing speed. It is not unusual to see a lone fisherman sitting in the rear seat of his 5-horsepower boat, chugging home at about 4 mph, when sitting in the center of his boat and steering with a handle extension would probably double his speed. Check the external keel on your boat. For the best propeller “bite," the keel should be tapered to about V 4 in. at the transom starting at a point 30 inches forward. Most of the performance complaints on outboards stem from using the wrong pitch propeller. Many engines are turning well below recommended rpm. When engines are run under this condition, they should be equipped with a prop of lesser pitch. - Basically, pitch is the angle at which the blades are attached to the hub. For example, a 10" by 11" prop (if no slippage were present) would travel 11" through the the water for each full turn it made . . . with the 10" indicating prop diameter in inches. If you multiply pitch times rpm. you can roughly predict boat speed. However, with the multitude of boat-engine combinations available, there

is no such thing as a standard prop. ... So be sure you use a propeller that ‘ peaks’’ your engine. - Anyone can be a propellermatching expert with the help of a tachometer. The rule of thumb is: If rpm at full throttle is too high, add pitch. If rpm at full throttle is too low, reduce pitch. If these points are correct, and if your motor is in good running condition, you should be getting the top performance from your boat and motor.

What Better Souvenir of Your Vacation Time than Photo Story

Daniel Boone went camping, and he never took a camera along, neither did Davy Crockett. They didn’t have to. A century later a producer showed up to dramatize their deeds for television. While your camping trip may also go down in history, there’s no need to wait 100 years to relive it. Produce it yourself. Take a camera. Remembering your trip without pictures is like sightseeing in a fog — blurry at best. What better vacation souvenir than a photo story of your trip? When camping in a national park or in your own discovered wilderness, remember the advice of the National Park Service—“take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints.” Picture-taking also enables the family to enjoy the trip more — not just its memories. It is a creative outlet for the whole family. Picture Story The best way to bring your camping trip back on film is to pick high spots of your trip and integrate them into a picture-story of fun in the Great Outdoors. Perhaps you're camping in a scenic park. A natural opening shot would be the signpost at the park’s entrance with the children looking at it. (They will be reading the sign, not smiling at the camera.t Other shots in your picture story could be the family setting up camp, children doing the chores, bathing in the stream, and day-to-day activities like hiking through the park, swimming, boating, etc. One last bit of advice: Take as many pictures as you like, and then add to the number. The picture you don’t take will never be seen again. When shooting an especially interesting scene, take at least three shots — one from a distance, another from middle distance and a third from up close, as close as you can get. Keep shooting in any wea-
