The name "Scott-Atwater"
disappears completely from the
outboard motor field In 1964.
The line hereafter will go un-
der the name of "McCulloch."
The change Is one result of a
consolidation planned since
McCulloch Corp., primarily a
manufacturer of chain saws,
inttred the outboard motor
business In 1956 by acquiring
8cott-Atwater Manufacturing
Co.
First, the name "Atwater"
was dropped from the "Scott"
1958 line. In 19f 2 and this year
the outboard motors bore the
Identification, "Scott built by
McCulloch."

Coincident with the name
change, the McCulloch has an-
nounced a new distribution pro-
gram for its outboard motors.
The program will provide dis-
tribution centers for Its motors
in about 30 major U.S. cities,
permitting faster delivery to re-
tall outlets, the company said.
The McCulloch line of motors
for 1964 includes 11 models,
one of them a new 9'2 horse-
power fishing motor designed
for use in lakes with a 10 horse-
power restriction.
Others in the line include 3>2,
7'a. 14. 28. 50 and 75 horse-
power models. The company
also manufactures two "Ox"
work motors, the 140 and 450.
especially designed for use on
houseboats and barges, and in
the logging and commercial
fishing fields.
In addition it offers two com-
p< tition outboard motors, the
590 and 630, which are avail-
able on special order.

involved in the fuel supply and control of th

n a strut just to the left and the third is en-
he right of the first two.
The 590 is approved for com-
petition by the American Pow-
erboat Association and the Na-
tional Outboard Association for
use in the P class and the 630 is
designed for use in the unlim-
ited class.

ville, Tenn.
As with other outboard motor
lines already announced for
1964, McCulloch's emphasis is
on fuel economy. Its motors op-
erate on a low-friction principle
that allows the use of a gas-oil
ration of 100 to 1. or 6 ounces of
oil to 5 gallons of gasoline.
Among other features is the
Surface-Gap ignition, which
the company claims provides a
solution to the problem of pre-
ignition. Surface-Gap plugs last
up to 10 times longer than con-
ventional plugs, the company
says, fire cooler to eliminate
power loss and piston damage,
lesist fouling and burning and
never require adjusting. The
Surface-Gap ignition is avail-
able only on the 75 horsepower,

Anyone hauling a boat for
winter storage should remem-
ber that a few chores done now
will save considerable labor
when spring rolls around again.
This is especially true of the
bottom, which should be wash-
ed with fresh water, and scrub-
bed or scraped to remove any
accumulation of barnacles,
scum, grass or other marine
growth. This accumulation can
become cement-hard it left on
until spring.
After scraping the bottom,
it's a good idea to give it a light
sanding and a coat of anti-
fouling paint. Metal keels and
bottoms should always be given
one coat of paint to protect
against rust.
In storing a boat, avoid ex-
tremes of dryness or humidity,
and if stored outdoors use a
canvas cover, which should be
prop ;,d up to permit circula-
tion of air through the inside of
the boat.

LAWRENCE, Kan. <UPI) —
Luke White, an attorney from
Covington, Ind., put in a plug
for studying Latin during a re-
cent classical language institute
at the University of Kansas.
"Learning Latin is the only
way to learn the English lan-
guage," he said. "Latin provides
the power to analyze and the
ability to communicate, which
are important in any endeavor."
PROLIFIC ELK
WASHINGTON <UPI> —
American elk. once near extinc-
tion, now are creating an un-
expected problem — overpopu-
lation, reports the National
Geographic Society.
Protected herds in Yellow-
stone and Grand Teton Nation-
al Parks are growing so fast
that browsing areas cannot
support them. Park rangers are
trapping and transplanting elk
to less populated areas but elk
are stubborn and the method is
slow and expensive

LOS ANGELES • UPI •—'The
same principle that makes it
possible for theX15 rocket plane
to fly at speeds of 2.000 miles
an hour without its windshield
fogging lias been used to de-
velop a cradle warmer for new-
born infants. The warmer
could make receiving blankets
obsolete.
The warmer was developed by
the Sierraein Corp., a small firm
in nearby Burbank. which had
built the X15's windshield with
an internal heating system.
Inventor of the cradle warm-
er. William H. Lawson Jr., said
tests have been encouraging
enough to warrant building of
more units.
A prototype of the warmer
currently is being tested by Dr.
Thomas K Oliver, director of
the University of Washington's
Nurseries and Premature Cen-
ter. Other models will be turned
over to the Los Angeles County
General Hospital, the Loma
Linda School of Medicine and
the Underwriters' Laboratory.
The warmer is simply a clear
plastic with an inside conduc-
tive coating that is heated by
electric current.
The cover maintains a con-
stant temperature in the cradle
during the critical hours fol-
lowing the infant's birth. This
constancy is especially impor-
tant in the case of premature
infants.
At present a receiving blanket
is used to help the infant main-
tain body heat. If the infant's
body heat drops too rapidly he
goes into shock.
Lawson said another advan-
tage of the cradle warmer is
that a baby may be examined
safely or even cleaned and
checked without use of a single
blanket.
"Doctors told me there lo a
wide need for such a device,
both in hospitals and in the
home." Lawson said,
