Religious Viewpoint By Clyde Dupin The greatest social problem in America is the breakdown of the family. It is one of the greatest iragidies of this generation. When a marriage falls apart, everyone gets hurt. Almost everyone weeps during and often after the divorce. V\ hen there are precious little children, :hey probably hurt the most. All the talk and explaining A ill never make up for the lost parent. Recent studies show that Uie breakdown of the traditional family is the biggest social factor affecting the climbing suicide rate todax. I sometimes wonder if the church is spending too much time on minor social problems and neglecting the major one. The major social problem tearing our society apart is the breakdown in our families. The church must teach the sacredness of the traditional family. It is still a fact that families who pray together stay together. The \Chicago Catholic\ recently did a survey on divorce. The national figures are one divorce for every tv-o marriages. However, among couples married in the church and who continue to attend church regularly, the rate is one divorce for every fifty marriages. The survey showed that when families regularly attend church together and have daily prayer in the home, the rate is one divorce in 1,105 marriages. There are many enemies of trie nome. Many organizations like Planned Parenthood, People For the American Way, Women's Lib Movement, and similar organizations help to undermine the traditional values which build strong families. When we save our families, we save our future and stabilize a deteriating society. College Bound To Speak At Women's Aglow Monday, May 19, 1986 Banner Times-Page-1 ?

U.S. Coast Guard ^x Auxiliary ^^ Flotilla 2-5 Pulaski VFC Griff Jones Boating Tips Overcoming Those Backing Woes: Backing a single-screw powerboat is the pits. The boat will never track with any degree of reliability because reversing the propeller throws a wash up against the starboard side of the keel. This pressure forces the boat to back to port, the trick is to stop the prop, thus eliminating pressure against the hull and allowing the star- board-turned rudder to regain control. As the stern begins to move, engage the reverse gear again to correct the swing back to port and to boost momentum astern. As the stern develops its port swing, slip into netural. The rudder will take command again and swing the stern back to starboard. This zig-zag technique averages in straight-line movement astern. Obviously, this system takes considerable practice before it's attempted in close quarters. Inlets: When the sea is up one of the most serious conditions facing any boatman is entering an un- familiar inlet or channel. Most experts advise against it. Choose a different inlet where deep, wide and well marked channels exist. Seas here may not be as threating as those that develop at a narrow inlet where a sandbar has built up 300 to 400 yards seaward. If conditions prohibit such an alternative, remain offshore and wait for more favorable cir- :umstances. This is especially true should you arrive off a difficult inlet at night or when an ebbing tide is running against oncoming seas. Finally, if you must enter, wait for a local boat to show the way or call the Coast Guard for recommendations. To run an inlet requires selecting one of two strategies: entering fast or entering slow. If your boat does 20 to 30 knots, you may wish to select the first. Storm waves can travel on shore up to 20 knots or so. Before attempting your run, lay offshore and watch the sequence of events. Wave patterns tend to repeat themselves. Watch for the big waves that usually run in groups of three or four. The last one is often the largest. Position yourself as the big one passes so you can gun the engine, gain speed and ride the back of the wave. This takes timing, concentration and courage. If your boat can't match wave speed, the maneuver becomes more difficult. Again lay off and study the inlet. Usually, a ring of breaking waves cups the inlet in a half moon shape. Along that shape however, you may spot quieter, unbroken water indicating the location of a channel. If the waves aren't too awesome, line up so your stern faces squarely the oncoming waves. Start in, maneuvering throttle and helm as you go to keep the boat in line. Avoid broaching at all costs. Some experienced skippers tow drogues or looped lines astern to keep their speed down as the waves vush the boat ahead. Other skippers feel more secure turning to face the waves and letting them carry the boat backwards into the inlet. Most experts, however, recom- mend this tactic only for professionals. Remember: For your Free Courtesy Marine Examination (CME), contact your local Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla.
