FRIDAY, APRIL >3, 1960
By Vcm Sanford
Got your boat numbers yet?
Under the new water safety act
passed by the 1959 legislature, all
boat owners, with few exceptioins,
are required to number their
boats. Deadline was March 1 of
this year.
That date has passed, but«if you
are among those who forg"f you
are in the majority.
Numbers must be obtained
from the State highway depart-
ment in Austin. Application
forms may be secured from almost
any dealer in marine supplies, or
county tax offices.
All the state wants is the name
and address of the owner of the
boat, its serial number, make,
model (year built) and length; its
construction (wood, plastic, etc.),
whether it's an inboard or out-
board, diesel or gasoline powered,
and for what purpose it is being
used (business or pleasure).
Application must be notarized,
then forwarded to the Texas high-
way department (40th and Jack-
son) in Austin—-along with a
money order or cashier's check
covering the fee.
Fees are based on the length of
the boat. For those under sixteen
feet the fee is $1; 16 to 26 feet,
but not including 26 feet, $5; 26
to 40 feet, $10; 40 feet and over,
$12.50.
License is good for three years.
Much beefing is heard over the
instructions to pay by money or-
der or cashier's check. This par-
ticularly from those who must pay
only the $1 fee. Result is that
most boat owners are sending in
a check or cash and such payment
is being accepted.
Licensing plan is similar to that
applied to your car, except that
the states doesn't provide the num-

number la permanently
When you sell your boat, or it
destroyed, or abandoned, you
must notify the highway depart-
ment, and surrender your certifi-
cate number. Each new owner
then must send in $1 for renewal
of application. Purchaser of the
boat is given a reasonable time to
make application for a transfer of
number.
This feature of the act will help
greatly in returning stolen boats
to their rightful owners. Owner-
ship records are public records.
All you need is the boat's number
to determine its owner's name.
Any time you want the informa-
tion the highway department is
required by the act to supply it.
For this reason, boat owners must
notify the highway department of
any change of address from that
filed with the application.
Your certificate must be kept
on your person or on your boat.
If you lose your certificate you
may obtain a duplicate for $1.
Within 90 days of the expira-
tion of your license you must ap-
ply for a renewal. Boat num-
bers, however, will not be changed.
So much for licensed provi-
sions. Now, about the safety fea-
tures—the main purpose of the
bill.
All motor boats 16 to 26 feet
in length must have a white light
aft, visible from all directions.
Also a bow light, green on the
starboard and red on the port
side.
Motor boats 26 feet and longer
must have a bright white light
fore and aft as well as a green
light on the starboard side and a
red light on the port side.
Sail boats under 40 feet in
length must carry the red and
green lantern, but not the white
light. However, they are required
to have a lantern or a flashlight
aboard to be used in sufficient
time to avert collision.
Every boat—regardless of size
or make—shall have aboard one
coast guard-approved life preserv-
er, buoyant vest, ring buoy or
buoyant cushion—for each person
on board. And it is the owner's
responsibility to see that such
equipment is in his boat.
This, regardless of who is op-
erating the vessel.
There are several exemptions
to the numbering provisions. How-
ever, for the most part the only
exemption for private boat own-
ers is the one granted for boats
powered by motors of 10 horse-
power or less. You fellows don't
need to be concerned one way or
another--except for the safety
requirements.
In your case the safety provi-
sions applicable include a required
life preserver for each occupant
and a white light to exhibit T)e-
tween the hours of sunset and sun-
rise.
Under this new law, drinking
boat drivers are subject to fines

of from $50 to $500 and impris-
onment up to six months, or both
fine and imprisonment. Same ap-
plies to intoxicated skiers.
Boats towjng skiers must be op-
erated at a reasonable distance
from persons and property so as
not to endanger the life or prop-
erty of another person. Fines for
violations range from $10 to $50.
Who is to enforce the law?
Any peace officer has the au-
thority to make arrests and to
board any vessel which does not
have n proper identifying num-
ber or is being operated in a reck-
less manner.
He can issue you a "ticket" the
same as a highway patrolman.
If properly administered and
enforced, this law could prove to
be a very valuable piece of legis-
lation—in the interest of greater
and safer boating pleasure.
Spring is time
to check that
roof for leaks
Now that winter wind and wea-
ther have stopped their assaults
on rooftops, homeowners may wish
to inspect the most important and
most vulnerable part of their
homes.
Roofing experts know that per-
manent and costly damages to
looof structure, framing and sills
can be caused by slow and unseen
leaks. Eventually these leaks can
cause extensive damage to rooms
and household furnishings.
And unless a tight new roof is
applied while wood underneath the
shingles is still sound, there is
danger that the framing will not
hold nails any better than if the
roof were nailed to a sponge.
Because the roof is the one part
of the home with which the av
erage homeowner has little per-
sonal contact from one end of the
year to another, he quite likely
i; unaware of little danger signs
that can lead to major repairs.
As a roof gets older it becomes
dry and porous from long expos-
ure to the sun. Constant temper-
ature changes also may cause the
roof to curl or become brittle.
And wind during heavy storms will
drive rain up underneath older
shingles.

MRS. VIRGINIA WAGGONER

2010 Branch, were conducted Sat-
urday, April 9 with Andy McAl-
ister and Charles Andrews offici-
ating. Burial was at Georgetown

31, 1941 as the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Carl Henderson, at Hub-
bard Bottom, Grayson coounty.

R. Waggoner, Sherman, her par-

tmaivt damage, it may b« cheaper
In the long run to replace the
roof rather than to repair It.
To help homeowners spot roof
damage, Johns-Manville Corpora-
tion has pinpointed the following
danger signals:
Asphalt shingles, when allowed
to remain on roofs beyond their
useful life, will begin to show
signs of eventual roof failure by
granules washing off to permit felt
underneath to dry out and crack.
Such a roof has lost its ability to
protect.
Old wood shingles will split and
crack from shrinkage. In extreme
cases, shingles will curl, allowing
sleet and rain to wash underneath
them, weakening the understruc-
ture of the roof. The nails begin
to pop out. This is a sign that
wood has rotted around the nail
holes. Such a roof is no longer
weathertight.
Failure in roll roofing results
from both faulty application" and
from wear. Sun dries out this
type roofing over the years to
cause blistering and cracking.
When this occurs, the roof has lost
its protective qualities.
Specific trouble spots on the
roof also will be found around
dormer windows, chimney flash
ings (where horizontal and verti-
cal planes meet), vent pipes, val-
leys, gutters and on hip roofs.
Sound roofing practice, Johns-
Manville states, requires a good
metal or felt flashing material to
assure watertight dormers. Un-
necessary damage to roof and un
derstructure is caused when the
flashing corrodes, cracks, disinte-
grates, or pulls away from the
Home Town News
RICHARD D. BEALL, airman,
USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. John
J. Beall, of 1133 Oakridge, took
part in a huge amphibious landing
exercise, March 22, on Formosa's
southern coat while serving with
air anti-submarine squadron 23.
The exercise, termed "Opera-
tion Blue Star," called for all par-
ticipating units to assemble in the
aiea March 20, along with marine
units based in the Far East and U.
dormer.
In chimney areas, also, any in-
dication of corrosion or separa-
tions of the flashing are certain
signs of trouble ahead.
Flashings also are important to
vent pipe areas. Unless the vent
pipe's collar is kept sealed and
properly flashed, the hazard of
leaks is great.
Another danger area is where
two different roof angles meet to
form valleys. Unless metal or
felt linings are properly maintain-
ed in watertight condition, serious
leaks will develop in these areas.
In hip roof construction, where
different roof angles meet to form
an outside angle or peak, danger
of leaks and other damage is al-
ways present.
Although gutters and leaders at
the roof's edge are not a part
of the roof area, failure of gut-
ters due to poor pitch or stopped-
up leaders can cause serious water
problems.

ROD, 23, son of Mr. and Mr
