BOATING

Continued from page 25 river towboat co-sponsored by the Cincinnati Outboard Runabout Assn., helped reduce boating deaths from 14 to none on a stretch of the Ohio River. At Mamaroneck, N.Y., on Long Island Sound, teen-agers under yacht club sponsorship formed a better-boatmanship group. Now Harbor Patrolman Jack Colety, who once considered the youths "trouble with a big 'T,'" says they're among the area's best boaters. THE AMERICAN RED CROSS, Boy and Girl Scouts and similar organizations have begun teaching motorboating in water-safety classes. The National Education Assn. now has a nationwide Outdoor Education Project to assist in introducing such courses. "We've made only a start," says Dr. Julian W. Smith, the project's director. "But many communities are coming to realize a safe-boating course soon will be as vital as driver training." Even if boating can be made safe, the problem of sheer congestion remains. Millions want to swim, others to fish, still others to sail, cruise or skin-dive. Water skiers alone numbered two million at last count. Meanwhile, millions more prefer to feel the peaceful spell of a river or lake from shore. How can such varying interests be accommodated? The Chain of Lakes, an area of 11 lakes and the scenic Fox River, 45 miles northwest of Chicago, offers one answer. It long has been a favorite fishing and water playground for millions, but recently as many as 30,000 boats have crowded in on a single weekend. Congestion has been so heavy that water skiers became entangled in fishing lines. Seven years ago a voluntary water patrol, financed by money from an annual benefit dance, was formed. This cut boating fatalities to zero in 1960 but made no dent in the conflict-laden traffic problem. Last year residents took their dilemma to Fred Parker, State Supervisor of Boat Registration and Safety. "Let's hold an open meeting so everyone can talk it over," Parker suggested. There already were swimming zones on the lakes. At the meeting, Parker suggested that fishermen, also, be moved out of high-speed traffic. Parker toured the area, exploring every channel, interviewing sportsmen, fish biologists, resort and cottage owners. By Memorial Day he had 16 zones buoyed off for fishing, still on-limits to all boats but only at "no-wake" speeds. Less than five percent of the lakes' total surface, these zones eliminated a long-standing conflict of interests and at the same time, by underwater growth, they preserve fish feeding grounds for the future. FOR SIMILAR REASONS, Yellowstone National Park this year has banned powerboats from portions of Yellowstone and Shoshone Lakes. States such as Iowa, Indiana, and Pennsylvania now prohibit motorboating on small lakes or impose such stringent speed and horsepower restrictions that noise and waves from high-speed boating are eliminated. In many localities powerboating is illegal during certain nighttime hours. Others confine activities such as water-skiing and high-horsepower boating to specific periods of the day. "With 300,000 new boats arriving on he waterways each year," says Parker, "some kind of activity regulation probably must come to every locality." Water recreation is among the finest the outdoors offers. But, as Joseph Prendergast, executive director of the National Recreation Assn., says: "To be fun it must be safe. It will be—if we all join together to make it so." For practical pointers on what to do in an emergency on the water, see next page.
