ARTIST'S IMPRESSION of the new Union -Castle liner, the 38,000 ton "WINDSOR CASTLE," at
present fitting out at a Birkenhead shipyard. Launched last June, the ceremony being per-
formed by her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, the "WINDSOR CASTLE" is sched-
uled to leave Southampton on her maiden voyage to South Africa at 4.00 p.m, on Thursday,
1 8th August. She will be the largest vessel ever employed on the Union -Castle mail service
to South Africa, and is the largest passenger liner ever built on Merseyside.

"What next?!" That's what
I've been saying off and on for
years — and I'm still saying it.
On the farm there was always
something happening to provoke
just such a question — like a
terrific downpour just as we
were ready to draw in hay; or
the cattle getting away when we
thought the fences were abso-
lutely foolproof; er the time
when we were sure Janie had
calved even though we couldn't
find a calf. Later we found the
poor little thing drowned in the
water -trough. Yes, on the farm
something was always happen-
ing, sometimes good, sometimes
bad. Away from the farm we
thought there would be less ex-
citement. There is, in a personal
way, but now we find ourselves
involved in neighbour -problems.
Last year, for instance, one fellow
was building a garage, It was
completed except for the doors.
Along came a windstorm and we
saw the roof heaving, ready to
take off at any minute. Neigh-
bours rushed to the rescue car-
rying anything heavy they could
lay hands on and heaved it on
to the roof to hold it down.
Well, last week came another
S.O.S. "Mrs. Clarke, tell me what
to do, we've got bees swarm-
ing in our backyard — thous-
ands of them. I saw them com-
ing like a cloud and then they
fastened on to our trees."
My first idea was that we
should contact an apiary. I guess
the idea was all right but we
didn't know where there was an
apiary. Then I thought of the
Humane Society. While I was
stilt at the phone Partner came
in. "Phone the police," he said,
"either the police or the fire de-
partment are the ones to look
after that sittration." So I relay-
ed the advice and Mrs. P. phoned
the police. They took it all in
their stride. (Aren't the police
wonderful?) The sergeant said
they had a man on the force who
kept bees. As soon as he came
in they would have him call.
Between the time the bees

However, about ten minutes be-
fore the policeman -beekeeper
phoned the bees had taken off,
heading west. Apparently their
location didn't.e suit them
t
so they departety m search of
better quarters — to the great
relief of Mrs. P. Actually she
didn't realise it was a danger-
ous situation until I told her to
stay in the house with the doors
and windows closed; to keep the
children and the dog in too, and
to be sure nothing was around
to worry the bees. Once she
stepped outside to retrieve a
child's toy and a bee lit into her
face — just as if it were blinded
and didn't know where it was
going. Then she realized it was
no time for fooling.
Well, that isn't a very exciting
end to my story, is it? We never
did find out where the bees went
to although the police said they
would patrol the district. There
are a number of overgrown va-
cant lots around here so even
now they may not be too far
away.
My next occasion for a "what
next" comment concerned the
weather over our Dominion Day
week -end, You will agree it was
anything but pleasant, Cold
winds, rain and very little sun-
shine. And I suppose people
heading for the beaches by the
thousands — including Dee and
her family. They were in here
Thursday night — their last visit
before going to the cottage for
the summer. The boys were so
excited. They just love to be by
the water all day long. Six -.year-
old Dave enjoys fishing. I think
it is the only thing that keeps
him in one place for more than
ten minutes at a time. Eddie
looked at me with his big won-
dering eyes and said — "Why
don't you and Gran'ps come to
our cottage, Grandma?" His
mother remarked — "Now that's
a good question?" Yes, it was a
good question all right but I
didn't have a good answer. How
could I explain to a four-year-
old that the comforts of home
meant more to us than boating,
fishing and swimming — plus
mosquitoes, blackflies a n d
crowded accommodation. 1 sup-
pose we shall go up sometime
during the summer — and who
knows, we might change our
minds about the joys of living
by the lake! Anyway we are
glad the rest of the family have
such a good time.
Last week I was busy house-
cleaning our own hot -weather

An Expert Gives
Some Booting Tips
The sportsman looking for an
auto -top boat or similar small
craft for his 3 hp motor may
find he is offered a choice of
two quite different bottom de-
signs. Perhaps these will look
much alike to him. In fact, he
may not even notice the lack of
resemblance.
But on the water, there will
be a big difference in their ac-
tion, even though the two boats
may be the same size. The one
with a bottom that narrows and
curves up toward the stern will
be faster. That's the cut -through -
the -water, rowboat -style bottom.
The other kind, with a straight
bottom aft, no upeurve to it and
little or no narrowing toward
the stern is the planing type.
And since 3 hp isn't enough
power for planing it, slower
speed will be the result.
Does this small auto -tap, with
planing -type bottom, have any
' advantages for 3 hp use? Some!
The bow won't rise quite so high,
nor the stern sink so low, with
only the operator aboard. He
can see where he is going, the
bow won't blow around so much
in the wind, and handling the
boat in waves will be somewhat
improved. Furthermore, speed
will be as good, as against the
same lone angler in the stern
of the other type craft. The row-
boat type can't make speed with
all the weight holding down its
narrow stern.
If it's wider at the stern, the
auto -top with the planing -style
bottom will be steadier, particu-
larly when someone starts mov-
ing around in back. It will also
be more stable under loads.
However, with only one person
aboard, it is doubtful if there
will be any real advantage. It
must be remembered that while
there are two distinct types of
bottoms here, there are also

In eddilien Le its reduced
speed capabilities with 3 hp,
the auto -top with a planing sty('
bottom may get :;tuck more east•
ly in shallow water and may
weigh more. Some sportsmen
buy this planing type because
they plan on buying a larger
motor at some later date.
Caution should always be used
in applying extra power to any
narrow, small boat, no mouser
what the bottom style. The fact
that the bottom will let the
boat plane is no guarantee in
itself of safety. In fact, some of
the narrowest of the planing
types will not even be sate
with 5 h.p, The quite narrow
pinning style often won't plane
with the 5 hp. In fact, the stern
may sink too low for safety as
the boat struggles to plane. The
boat may also jerk and tip too
much when the steering handle
controlling the 5 hp is given a
hard, sudden shove.
There are many reasons why
old motors start hard. Often
they'll go right off when cold,
. but nothing will induce them to
start while hot. This unpleasant
j kind of performance usually toe-
' cuts out on the lake somewhere.
of course, with the result that
the use of the word unpleasant
may strike some veterans of
knuckle wars with beat -up mo-
tors as being wild understate-
ment. Anyway, causes can vary,
but one deserves special men-
tion,
Old motor's often lose compres-
sion, Then since -
cylinders ex-
pand
r
pand more than piston rings,
they have less compression still
when warm. An old motor can
absolutely refuse to start from
lack of compression when hot,
yet go right off every time when
cold.
Since ignition is often sub -par
on old motors, owners often
spend time and money to no
avail on wiring, condensers, and
so on, when the trouble is really
compression. Mind, we're not
saying faulty condensers er
other parts can't cause this sort
of trouble. But if it's compres-
sion, the remedy may have to
be new piston rings. Using extra
oil won't correct it.
Here's why this trouble occurs
more often than you might
think, happening sometimes to
motors with seemingly good
compression when turned over
cold. The cooling systems of old
motors seldom do a first-class
job. As years go on, scale de-
posits form, partially blocking
water flow. This is especially
true if motor has been run in
salt water. Result — motor over-
heats. — By Willard Crandall,
Boats and Motors Editor, Sports
Afield.
