WASHINGTON IL isl Sports Columnist \ SICK SPORT Down around Cape Canaverial Flor ida, the thing to do is get your board and head for the surf. This tropical town is known as the surfing capitol of the Eastern Seaboard. Surfing buffs from all over America make annual treks to Cape Canaverial to test their skills against the treach erous waves which constantly pound the beaches. Florida waves don’t com pare with those around California or Hawaii but the ones around Cape Ca naverial are a challenge to any surfer. The weather has a lot to do with surf ing. It’s amazing how fearless surfers are when hurricane season is in full fury. They fight and risk waves which would make the saltest sea captain turn sallow. It’s not uncommon for sufters to drown or be struck by lightening during bad weather. One location which surfers find “groovey” is Sebastian Inlett. This is where the Banana Rivers flow into the Atlantic. There is a swirl of waves moving in and out of the rockbound rivers which makes surf ing extremely dangerous. But this doesn’t bother the avid surfer who will hang ten over Grand Cooley Dam. Not just anyone can be a surfer. It requires a great deal of coordination and determination to stay with the jitterbugging board. You might also add a dash of intestional fortitude to the requirements for being a surfer. When you hear the word “board” you automatically think of building boards and you would be 100’/ wrong. Surfer boards are made of fiber glass and range in price from S9O. to $350. So getting into the sport of surfing doesn’t cost peanuts as you might sus pect even though the working attire is relatively inexpensive. During a recent trip to Cocoa Beach I revisited the Cape Canaverial Surf ing Place and was shocked to see the type people surfing is attracting. A large majority of them are teenagers and college age youngsters. Among this group you find the typical All Am erican boys and girls. In the next cate gory you see boys with long hair, beads and filthy clothes. The girls wear mini-bikini and appear glassey eyed and unkept. In discussing these physicial wrecks Mr. Merchant Here Are TEN Solid Facts You Should Consider In Planning Your Advertising 1- This newspaper is an advertising medium that is WANTED -it is sought after and paid for, and advertising in it is net an intruder in the home. 2 - Nearly all of this newspapers circulation is CONCENTRATED in this trading area. 3 - The newspaper provides PENETRATION in the primary murker by reaching virtually every family or customer in that market. 4 - People read newspaper ads when they are ready to make a decision and to act - WHEN THEY’RE READY TO BUY. 5 - The newspaper is convenient; it may be consulted a! a time most CONVENIENT to every member of the family. 6 - People LIKE TO READ NEWSPAPER ADVERTISEMENTS surveys show 85 per cent of the people want their newspaper to contain advertising. 7- Every issue of every newspaper contains INFORMATION AND PICTURES of iterest to every member of the family. 8 - Newspaper reading is a habit and a pan of people’s routine. 9 The printed word is MORE RELIABLE THAN the spoken word and it cannot be refuted because it is easily available for re-checking. More accurate information is obtained by reading than by listening, 10 The newspaper is ideal for comparison - items in a newspaper may be easily items in other newspaper ads. THE MOST EFFECTIVE and MOST ECONOMicmI. WAY TO PROMOTE BUSINESS IS THROUGH NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING The Houston Home Journal with one of the local yokels I learned that over half of the' surfers are on dope. That they live a nomad existance and that their only aim in life is to ride the relentless surf. It’s the IN THING to do he said and is an accept ed part of the sport. To be wiped out by waves or dope is the surfers claim to fame. I must admit that I get a large charge out of seeing a surfer ride his board in on a big one with ten toes hanging right or left but the dope part leaves me high and dry The younger generation isn’t going to pot but the surfers seem to be tied to waves of another world WHICH WAY Several season’s ago a certain Per ry Junior League Baseball player hit a sharp single. When he reached first base his coach told him to play it safe and don’t try to steal second The youngster shook his head up and (town to indicate that he understood the instruction perfectly On the very next pitch he scamper ed down to second base which almost caused his coach to strip a gear.

W. B. Bailey, Rock mart, Ga.: I remember the first cars bought in our county, one by a doctor, the other by a neighbor of ours in the country. How thrilled I was to be one of the first to ride in it. High wood en wheels, no top and the whole steering gear turned around. The doctor would go on calls and forget the car had to have gas and water to run. He was very absent minded. Our neigh bor went riding one Sunday in the adjoining county People were going home from church Your relatives have descended. And they need your car. Where does that leave you?

The mules and horses took to the fields, some turned over and there were a few broken bones. Our neighbor had to stop as the road was narrow. The enraged people pulled him from the car and threatened to hang him if he ever came that way again. That same man was attending college at Emory College in Ox ford, Georgia, several years pre viously. He was sent home for re-ding a newspaper in church. At that time, students were re quired to attend church, as the school was supported by the Methodist Church.
