Kinsmen’s Scott Van- derlee was solid in shut- ting down Speedee in the last four innings. Kinsmen added three in the fifth and two in the se- venth as they defeated Speedee Printers 17-8.

Since 1962 Boating can be fun and relaxing—the perfect getaway from the stresses of everyday life, But along with the joys of beating come the respon- sibilities of boating safely. ; In order to provide a safe “Sp, boating environment for you, your passengers and other boat- ers, it is important to know some “rules of thumb” for safe boating. KNOW YOUR OPERATING RULES; Crossing, Overtaking, and Yielding Right-of-Way As with cars, boaters to the right have the right-of-way when two boats are approaching the same intersection. When the boats are traveling in opposite directions, they should pass left side to left side (port to port). When being overtaken, the lead boat (which always has the right-of-way) should stay on its side of the channel and maintain a steady speed so that the overtaking vessel can pass safely. All powerboats must yield right-of-way to sail boats and other non-motorized boats. CAPSIZING When possible, stay with your boat in the event of a capsize. Most boats are designed to stay afloat whether righted or upside down, and your chances for a safe recovery are greater if you stay with the boat. It is wise to leave a copy of your float plan with some- one on shore in case you're involved in an accident or get stranded. That person should know to call the Coast Guard or notify the authorities if you are out for what seems to be an unreasonable amount of time. Ly FIRST AID KITS Always carry a first aid kit on your boat. The con- tainer should be plastic to avoid rust and should be sealed with tape (not locked) to keep it water-tight. ALCOHOL AND BOATING DON’T MIX You've heard it before and you'll surely hear it again: Booze is bad news on the water. Alcohol is involved in about half of all boating accidents. Even in moderate amounts, alechol can impair your judgment, balance, and coordination. nor-burd rv SALES 4&4 GERVICE QUALITY PRODUCTS COMPLETE SERVICE FACILITY "New And Used Traifars, Ten!
