At Porterdale
Takes Fla. Trip
PORTERDALE — Eleven
Scouts and their leaders of Ex
plorer Post No. 207 chose
Crooked River State Park as
the site of their annual summer
camping trip which began at

Thursday, July 27. at midnight.
Riding all night stimulated ap
petites for the breakfast which
they ate at a roadside park in
the Okefenokee Swamp.
Cabins were available at the
state park and soon after ar
rival, preparations were made
for relaxed living for a few
days.
Most of the group went ex
ploring in the St. Marys River
and some tired to catch some
fish.
On Friday evening, bowling
was a welcomed form of re-
I creation enjoyed by all.
Saturday afternoon was se
lected for a trip to Jacksonville
Beach, Florida. To the surprise
of the group, Mr. Ellison Wil
kerson and Mr. Roger Durand,
who remained behind for the
afternoon prepared delicious
campfire stew for their supper.
It was delicious.
A group of young people
visited Crooked River State
Park on Saturday evening, and
the scouts met many new
friends. From all reports, La
nier Patterson’s acquaintance
with the life guard was most
interesting!
About nine o’clock Sunday
morning, the journey home
ward began. It was a happy
and refreshing trip for every
one.
Those who went were: Scouts
—Charles Cagle. Carroll Hawk.
Leon Henry. Ronnie Hill, Stan
ley Hill, June Bug Knight.
Tony Loyd. Randy Price, J. W.
Rutledge, Charles Sears, and

• VITALLY IMPORTANT”
According to the Forest Pro
ducts Laboratory of the Fed
eral Government, “it is vitally
important that the lumber
used in a house be thoroughly
seasoned.”
Properly seasoned lumber is
“pre-shrunk” by air or kiln
drying before being surfaced
to final size. The process is
regarded as so important that
the Southern Pine lumber in
dustry has made it mandatory
for all grades of flooring, fram
ing, siding, paneling and the
like.

Kiekhaefer Corporation has
been a pioneer in the develop
ment of quality, high perfor
mance motors and outboard
pleasure craft. Its Mercury out
board motor line consists of
nine models of 2, 4 and 6 cylin
der units, ranging from 6 to 80
HP. Distribution is affected
through distributors in factory
branches to a national network
of 3500 independent dealers.
Mr. Kiekhaefer said that his
company’s policy of distribu
tion would remain unchanged
and its products would contin
ue to be marketed through pre
sent channels.
Kiekhaefer has plant facili
ties in six Wisconsin and Flori
da cities and three test bases.
In addition to Marine propul
sion units and replacement
parts, the company also pro
duces lubricants and accessor
ies, including mechanical boat
steering remote controls, pro
pellors and Quick Silver For
mula outboard motor oil, alu
minum partoons, and various
plastic products.
“Mercury will continue to
concentrate on designing, man
ufacturing and marxeting ma
rine propulsion units, whether
they are Mercury outboard mo
tors, Mer Cruiser stern drive
units, or new developments.
Consistent with our past ex
pressed policy, we do not plan
to go into the boat building
business,” Mr. Kiekhaefer said.
Kiekhaefer Corporation mar
keted its first outboard motor
under the Mercury brand name
in 1940. Specializing in out
board motors the company has
pioneered over 70 industry en
gineering and “First”, includ
ing the 4 and 6 cylinder-in
line outboard motors and t I
125 -200 HP stern drive um/o
for inboard engines. Mercury
outboard currently holds the ol
ficial world outboard speed re
cord of 115.5 miles per hour and
the official world outboard en
durance record against elapsed
time of 50,000 miles in 68 days.
“The success of Kiekhaefer
Corporation in pioneering the
development of the modern
high performance Mercury oijt
board motor with its resulting
stimuleous to the development
of larger, safer, more com
fortable more pleasure boats is
directly attributed to Mr. Kiek
haefer. He himself has been is

dustry. We are competent that
I he will continue to make signi
i ficant contributions in the Mer
cury propulsion”, Mr. Bensin
ger said.
Commenting on previous ru
mors of negotiations between
the companies, Mr. Kiekhaefer
said that there actually had
been none until a short time
ago.
“In our first meeting with
Brunswick it appeared obvious
that together we would be abje
to give the consumer more for
his dollar and at the same time
enhance the security of our
employees, dealers, and distri
butors,” Mr. Kiekhaefer said.
Brunswick, Mercury opera
tions include its Owens yacht
and Brunswick boat divisions,
which together produce a wide
range of fiberglass and wood
en hull pleasure craft ranging
from 7-1/2 foot dingies to 40
foot cruisers. These are sold
under the Owens, Larson and
Cutter trade names. Owens al
so manufactures “Flagship” in
board engines for its own use
and for other boat manufac
tures.

August 1, 1961.
Constructive Help Wanted
M. Robert Barnett, Executive
Director of the American
Foundation for the Blind says,
“There are many well-mean
ing people who attempt to do
for blind people what blind
people can and should do for
themselves. Compassion, how
ever, is kindest when it is con
structively conceived.”
