WHAT DOES IT TAKE?
All right, then, tell me, just what DOES it take?
We’ve put out warnings, time and again, asking
people to PLEASE be careful on the water.
Yet there were a number of drownings in May.
Maybe not so many as other years, but the weather
wohl6emijth w s cooler, and perhaps there were fewer boats
on the water.
Then comes June. And with it comes a rash of drownings. Need
less deaths. Just because somebody simply wasn’t as careful as he
should have been.
When you’re putting your boat in the water at the start of a
day’s pleasure, be it fishing or just pleasure boating, stop for just
an instant. Think! You enjoy this sport? Want to return again
sometime? Want to see your family and loved ones again?
Then, man, when you’re on the
water, ACT like it! Operate your
boat in such a way that you’ll
know for sure you’ll be back.
Never let it get out of your
mind that accidents CAN hap
pen—and they will, unless you
remain conscious of the possibil
ity.
Sure, statistics say boating is
safer than driving a car. That’s
not saying much. The most dan
gerous thing the average person
does is to get out on the highway
in a car. Yet safe boating re
quires at least as much—in my
opinion more—caution than does
safe driving. There are a lot
more aspects to consider.
You don’t have a white line to
follow, for example, to make sure
you’re on the right side of the
road.
Continuous Intersection
You know how uncertain you
feel when approaching an inter
section of two or more roads
where there’s no stop sign?
That’s the situation you’re in all
the time on the water. A boat
may be coming at you from any
direction, any time. Keep those
eyes open!
And stay away from boats not
underway, or boats smaller than
yours. If you have a good sized
16 or 18 foot runabout, and like
to slip along at high speeds, re-

member there’s a lot of force in
the water thrown off by your
boat. Water has a lot more force
than the air off a moving car,
even though boats can’t go nearly
as fast.
A wake can swamp a small
boat, moving or not. Especially
if its passengers are standing up,
fishing or something else, which
is another thing that should
definitely not be done.
A small boat crossing the wake
of a larger boat can really get
bounced around. When a wake
comes your way, cross it at a
right angle, or as close to it as
possible. Taking it sideways will
give you quite a roll, maybe
more than you bargained for.
Water skiers must use extra
caution. Skiers may swing wider
than the pulling boat. And the
skier is dependant upon the boat
for direction of travel and power.
You just can’t maneuver as well
as the boat can sometimes. Boat
operators, keep your eyes open
when pulling skiers. Look out
ahead AND behind. Play it safe.
Carry an observer aboard while
pulling water skiers.
To Each Hi* Own
Fishermen and pleasure boat
ers don’t always get along too
well. Really, there’s no need for
any problems. Fishermen rarely
anchor in open water. And small
covers are really no place for
pleasure boating, unless coming
or going from a landing.
And anybody, no matter why
they are on the water, should
take it slow when approaching
any dock area, anchorage or
swimming area. Stay clear as pos
sible of swimmers.
I’ve seen cases when pleasure
boaters thought it was “smart”
to ride across fishing lines of
trollers. In the long run, the fish
erman may have the last laugh.
That monifiliment line sure can
Weekly
Devotional
By W. A. HOLSTON
Missionary (o Brazil
“ . . . Follow me. And he arose
and followed ...” Mark 2:14.
The call went out to Matthew
and was at once obeyed. Leaving
the lucrative position of tax col
lector with the Roman govern
ment he embraces all that goes
with shunning material security,
including the loss of prestige and
achievement. And why? Simply
because behind the call is Jesus
Christ himself. It is Jesus who
calls, and because it is Jesus,
Matthew follows immediately. As
the Christ, the Son of God, He
has the right to make such a de
mand and receive absolute obe
dience from any who bear the
name Christian. No praise is giv
en, none is necessary, for Levi
(Matthew) travels the only road
to Christian discipleship, obedi
ence.
Four year ago, almost to the
day, I tendered my resignation
to the City of Jackson, to enter
the ministry. Many have not yet
understood why. To a few it was
to do something more worthwhile,
to others it was just plain crazy.
But I left the city, not to be doing
something just worthwhile, but
simply for the sake of the call of
Jesus Christ to follow Him. I be
came a “tag-along” to follow in
His footsteps, having no intelli
gible program for a way of life,
no goal, nor ideal to strive for.
It was not a matter of choosing,
but rather yielding to Christ and
simply “burning bridges” and
forsaking. The act of following
is quite devoid of significance;
beside Jesus nothing has any sig
nificance. He alone matters.
When we are called to follow
Christ, we are summoned to an
exclusive attachment to His per
son. Paul said “ ... to me, to live
is Christ.” The grace of His call
breaks all the fetters of legalism,
denominationalism, and human
doctrine. This is Christianity with
a living Christ, a Christ who
spoke to me four years ago to
ruin a bearing on the propeller
shaft in a hurry.
Above all, cut out all horseplay
and keep your senses about you
on the water. Keep life preserv
ers close at hand at all times.
If your boat turns over, stay
with it until help comes.
And if you see anyone else
needing help, help them. The
tables may be turned sooner than
you think.
Remember, if you STILL insist
on being a water accident statis
tic, at least don’t take anyone
with you.

SIRLOIN STEAK 16* A LB!
Want to go back to those “good old days”? Before you answer,
listen to what else you’d get along with that 16d steak.
• Your family income would be around SI,OOO a year.
• You’d have an ice box instead of a refrigerator.
• You’d have a wind-up phonograph instead of a hi-fi.
• And, a cross-country phone call would cost more than
$17.00 instead of the SI.OO plus tax you pay today! But
we can get even more specific than that.
Back in the days of 16<- steak, the average Georgia telephone
subscriber paid a little less a month for local telephone service
than he pays today. But he could call, and be called by, only a
small fraction of the number of local phones he can reach
today—and none at all in some towns after “central” quit at
5 p.m. That means that the value of your phone dollar has
multiplied many fold. But during the same period, the value of
your food dollar has gone way down. How much steak can
you buy today for 16<?
All of which adds up to the fact that your telephone is a real
shoppers’ special! High in value. Low in cost. So far as the
telephone is concerned . . . those “good old days” are here
right nowl
Have you heard about our “Handi-Pay Plan” designed
for paying your telephone bill through your bank?
It’s convenient and time saving.
Just call our business office and request that your phone
bill be paid on the “Handi-Pay Plan.” Your bank will re
ceive a draft each month for the amount of your bill; at
the same time you receive your telephone bill. The bank
will deduct the amount from your bank account. The draft
will be sent to you along with your paid checks.
