How To Clean 32,000 Fish An Hour!
Here's how to clean 32,000 fish an hour. Work at lexas
A&M indicates this rate may be possible by dunking the
fish in an enzyme bath that “digests” viscera, scales and
eyes. Water rinses away the digested material. Object of
the study is to permit use of fish not now considered edible.

just that; but it isn't as bad as you may think. You see,
he has to diet to keep his weight down . . . Babe Ruth holds
the world's record for runs batted in during a lifetime. He
had 2,209.
Hart County’s Bill Ensley was named the outstanding

If time heals everything, try sitting it out in a doctor’s

The NASCAR regulations for
the unusual race, the first of its
kind ever scheduled for the 500-
mile distance, permit the entry
of cars from 1953 through 1960
models, and the piston displace
ment is unlimited.

be interchanged from any manu
facturer's line into any American
passenger car chassis, special
cylinder heads are permitted, and
all types of carburetion are per
mitted. even supercharging and
fuel injection.
This is the stock car racing di
vision where mechanics can dem
onstrate their own ingenuity, try
ing new tricks that might make a
Detroit auto engineer drool with
envy.

“Many racing fans have told
us,” reported A I. R. President
Nelson Weaver, "that they want
ed to see the time trials, but
couldn't get away from their
places of business in time. We
hope we can accomodate those
fans with this extension of the
qualification period to 6:30 p. m.”
Provisions have been made to
accommodate 75 cars in competi
tion. the fastest 50 in the race,
and 25 non-qualifiers in the Sat

Know-How Makes A Camper
What's the difference be
tween camping and tramping?
Outdoor veterans know
there's a difference. Newcom
ers learn soon enough.
It’s not a matter of luxury
alone, because some veterans
make a point of roughing it.
To them it’s part of the ground
rules.
Your gear has a role, too,
but it's not as big as newcom
ers think. There are some vet
erans using equipment they
had a decade ago.
It could be a different kind
of luxury, loosely defined as
the splendor with which you
dispatch the business to get
quickly to the pleasure.
SAMPLE: The tramp.t picks
his spot and 90 minutes later
he's still not fully pitched and
there’s no sign of chow.
The camper is pitched, can
smell dinner and is well on the
way to a pleasant evening in '
less than an hour. And he's got
dishwater heating on a special
charcoal pit—no waiting after ।
Bledsoe. The Newton - Henry team will meet North Fulton
tonight (Thursday) at Chastain Memorial Park in Atlanta
at 8 o’clock. A three-game series is scheduled on consecu
tive nights.

Record Increase
In Water Skiers
Mrs. John F. Kennedy’s in
terest in water skiing is a strong
i factor in bringing even more j
j popularity to the sport, ac-;
: cording to Jim Gillen, boating
research analyst for Johnson
Motors.
"Water skiing has grown
i steadily each year during the j
j past decade, and about 6,000.- !
000 Americans skied in 1962.
The increase for 1963 will be
even larger than in the past,” .
Gillen says.
He bases this prediction
mainly on these factors:
(1) Water skiing is more
“fashionable” than ever lead
ing more people to try the
sport. More “celebrities” have
been pictured skiing in news
papers, magazines, and news
reels. These include Mrs. Ken
nedy and daughter Caroline,
Princess Margaret and a num
' ber of the astronauts.
(2) This season mere will be
■ more boats with higher horse- |
: power outboard engines in use i
: than ever before, and Johnson j
dealers’ reports indicate that j
most of these larger rigs are
j used consistently for water i
skiing.
(3) There is more interest in '
all participant sports through
out the country due in part to
the President's physical fit
ness program. People of all I
ages sincere in their efforts to j
slay in shape can do so by |
participating in water skiing.
(4) A continued rise in va- ,
I cation and leisure time.
(5) More new boating water j
j has been opened up through- : ।
out the country, making boat- ■
j ing and water skiing more i
i convenient for thousands of |
people. Marine facilities and j

’ ■ ing of a gas stove for this big
' । job. How? Every member of
• the family who can walk had
: a job to do.
' I There are a jillion other sac-
’ । tors. Every camper has his fa
vorites. For instance, little
: conveniences pay big dividends
i and are worth the price of
' carting some of them along.
SAMPLE: Tramper brings
too many conveniences, has an
organizational mess. Table
l cloth, napkins, dishcloths, dish
towels. A laundry problem.
Camper brings just one roll
of paper towels. Uses them for i
’ the following, then discards:
Cleaning lantern chimney; I
wiping down picnic table; |
