HOW FISHERMEN CATCH PEOPLE
#3 Safety Do's and Don'ts
When your lure hangs up on a snag, don’t try to jerk
it loose with a violent bending of your rod. A bent rod
can trigger a suddenly loosened bait so fast you won’t
have time to duck. When lure is snagged, keep your
cool. With ample slack in your line, try first to gently
shake it loose. If this fails, row in and release it by
hand. Remember too, lures should never lie around
loose in the boat. Many a lure left carelessly on a boat
seat has caused painful and embarrassing incidents.

Though the total range of

NEWS OF EXPERIMENTS IN SOCIAL ACTION THAT HAVE PROVED HIGHLY PROMISING
$250 MILLION FOR HOUSING
by William G. Herbster
Senior Vice President &
Director of Urban Affairs
First National City Bank
Nearly every community
suffers from a housing short
age these days; the larger the
community, the more acute
the problem. In New York
City, for example, the situ
ation is critical because older
buildings are deteriorating
and being abandoned or con
verted into non-housing use
as fast as new residential con
struction is completed. To
help reverse this trend, Citi
bank has undertaken a pro
gram in New York that could
be useful in other commu
nities as well.
The bank’s main contribu
tion has been to work closely
with a number of diverse ele
ments to attempt to create
new approaches to increased
housing production. These
include builders, developers,
financial institutions, con
struction unions, government
and community
organizations.
In addition, Citibank has.
committed more than $125
million to finance housing in
disadvantaged neighborhoods
and has agreed to make
another $125 million avail
able by the end of the year
for a total commitment of
$250 million.
The entire program is ex
pected to create as many as
10,000 apartments for
30,000 .New Yorkers and is
believed to be the most
ambitious effort of its kind
Thirteen is not unlucky
where highway safety is con
cerned.
That is the number of
states which have now passed
habitual traffic offender laws
to curb dangerous drivers and
remove them from the high
ways, if necessary. Ohio
became number 13 in early
June and the fifth state to
enact this type of law in
1972.
Habitual Offender laws
prescribe that drivers who
accumulate multiple traffic
convictions for serious or
lesser violations can lose their
licenses from a few years to
life. In most of the 13 states,
according to the Consumers
Insurance Information
Bureau, Habitual Offenders
face stiff prison terms if they
are convicted of driving after
ward.
The National Association
of Insurance Agents, sponsor
of the Bureau, has been con
ducting a national campaign
to get such a law enacted in
each of the 50 states. Toward
this end, it has developed a
model law which it has
recommended to each of its
small boat and guide; scuba
trips are S2O per half day,
including aqualung. Average
summer rates for sport fishing
boats with'six passengers:
SBO per half day. Indepen
dent watersports operators in
Nassau are Underwater Tours,
Ltd.; Bahamas Water Sports
Company, Ltd.; and Bronson
Hartley, Guided Underwater
Helmet Diving Tours.
Jamaica. This major island
is unique in its range of salt
and freshwater sports. Visi

contact the Montego Bay
Diving Club. Dive Jamaica,
Ltd. has facilities at the Club
Caribbean in Ocho Rios; and
there is a complete water
sports center on the beach at
Rose Hall Holiday Inn.
Leeward and Windward
Islands. Largest of the British
(lISPI
ever undertaken by a non
governmental institution.
The funds already com
mitted are financing the con
struction of 5,748 units in 19
separate projects, with about
half of these apartments
ready for occupancy in a
year. The remainder are
scheduled for occupancy in
1973.
Besides financing new resi
dential construction, the
bank is exploring ways to
help, rehabilitate sound but
older structures. Its intention
is to join with others in de
veloping low and middle
income housing through joint
ventures that will go beyond
its own capacities to generate
new housing.
Of course, the bank real
izes it has just scratched the
surface. New York’s housing
shortage is critical and pre
sents enormous problems.

Leewards, St. Kitts is also one
of the least visited. It has
spectacular white beaches
fronting Brimstone Hill, an
old British fortress rising 750
feet out of the sea. The
Holiday Inn on St. Kitts is
convenient to the island’s
new jet port, and in these
waters you’ll meet fish that
have never seen a snorkel
mask.
Antigua is a major charter
yacht headquarters. The new
Antigua Beach Hotel, the
totally private Curtain Bluff,
Admiral’s Inn and the
Holiday Inn typify the
island’s best resorts. There’s
fine snorkeling at Long Bay
and Marmora Bay; deeper
diving in the shadow of
dramatic Devil’s Bridge.
The soaring peaks of St.
Lucia tower above upland
banana plantations and deep,
sea-fed inlets. Halcyon Days
at Vieux Fort, and St. Lucia
Beach and Holiday Inn on
Reduit Beach are three of the
best resorts. The big hotels
have year-round water skiing,
skin diving and snorkeling
instruction. There’s excellent
game fishing available. The
waters off Pigeon Island,
opposite Holiday Inn, offer
fine wreck diving.
Grenada, southern anchor
of the Windwards, is a dream.
On the five-mile-long stretch
of Grand Anse Beach is the

an Habitual Offender and loss
of license for at least five
years. It also calls for a prison
term -of one to five years for
Habitual Offenders violating
the court’s order not to drive.
The apparent harsh provi
sions of Habitual Offender
laws reflect a growing
national concern for the high
level of death and injury on
the highways, the Bureau
said. It pointed out that in
1971 over 55,000 people died
on the highways and nearly 5
million were injured. Half of
the deaths were attributable
to alcohol.

HAY FEVER FACTS
Ail the pollen produced
each season by ragweed
plants when piled together
would form a pyramid as
high as a 50-story office
building.
Wind pollination is the
greatest cause of hay fever.
Pollen known to have
come from Alaska has been
deposited in Washington
and Oregon.
Some 250,000 persons lose
a week or more from work
or school because of hay
fever.
Antihistamines usually give
temporary relief of major
hay fever symptoms. A
nasal spray such as NTZ is
often recommended rather
than a tablet. Antihista
mines should be used as
directed.
Hay fever should not be
neglected. A physician
should be consulted.
Hay fever can result in im
pairment of hearing, infec
tions of the ears, sinuses,
or even bronchial asthma.
Summer allergies can be
caused by many things be

moth scales, fragments of
algae and insect droppings.

Welcome news is a recent prediction
that Treasury Secretary Connally’s goal
of a $9 billion trade deficit
turnaround, resulting from the dollar
devaluation, will provide about
500,000 new jobs in the next two
years.
An impressive target, particularly in
these days of 6% national unemploy
ment. By happenstance the figure
matches the 515,000 jobs that the U.S.
aerospace industry will have lost by
yearend from its 1,400,000 peak in
1968.
Actually, however, the total impact
upon the nation’s job market from the
current aerospace blight will be more
like 900,000. That aggregate figure
pops up when one realizes that,
according to government economists,
aerospace provides 73 supportive jobs
for every 100 of its own.
As an inescapable consequence of
the aerospace industry’s economic
problems, many of the scientific and
engineering teams which paced
America’s progress to world leadership
in technology and to a high standard of
living are being splintered as
companies are forced to cut back for
lack of government funded research
and development work, or for lack of
contracts to sustain current production
programs.
Typical of what has been happening
within the industry is the situation at
the Lockheed-Georgia Company, in
Marietta, Ga., one of the nation’s most
modem research facilities and the only
plant in the country producing airlift
aircraft needed for defense and for
development of emerging countries and
remote areas.
Just two-and-a-half years ago
Lockheed-Georgia employment totaled
nearly 33,000. Last month it had
declined to less than half that, and
projections indicate it will drop to
10,000 by the end of this year for the
first time in 21 years.

More Than Just Jobs
has been the C-130 Hercules cargo
transport. You’ll remember it as the
participant in hundreds of mercy and
relief missions, the country-builder
used by a dozen developing nations, and
the outstanding combat transport of
the Vietnam war.
Now, as we look to dollar
devaluation to help bring about a
balance of trade turnaround and
thereby spur domestic employment, it
seems deserving of mention that the
C-130 has served both purposes well
since its first delivery in 1956.
In addition to its varied utilization
by governmental and commercial
operators, the world famous Hercules
has contributed to a favorable
balance-of-trade for the U. S. to the
tune of $1 billion through- sales and
services to 25 countries around the
world. Its foreign market potential for
the balance of tl is decade is estimated
at another billion.
However, like other aerospace
facilities, the big modern Georgia plant
presently is caught in the reordering of
domestic priorities. If domestic orders
do not continue to provide a base for
the C-130 Hercules production line, it
may be impossible to keep production
going so these additional foreign sales
can be made, which in turn will help
the balance of payments and provide
jobs for U. S. citizens.
Can we stem the tide which is
lapping at the underpinning of our
technological future, at the aerospace
industry, and which is spawning crises
such as at Marietta?
Hopefully so. But it will take a broad
awareness on both a dollars and sense
basis of the need to keep on-going
production lines open where sales
potentials are high, like for the C-130s.
If we consider this Big Picture, our
nation can hold the people with the
know-how together to maintain the
industrial base which has served our
nation so well in peace and emergency.
