Fishermen Should Take Care
With Boat, Boats Or Snare
The National Safety Council estimates more than 30
million Americans — about one of every five persons strong
enough to hold a fishing pole or cast a line into the water
will go fishing this year. Fishermen should think of
safety so their fun won’t be spoiled by an accident. Unfor-
tunately, the unwary do get hurt or even worse killed.
More than 900 drowrongs a year*
involve boats with a capacity of
fewer than ten persons. This
would include boats that carry
fishermen to their favorite spots.
While the toll of persons in-
jured in fishing accidents is un-
known, the Council reports that
a “large number of persons are
injured each year from careless
handling of fishing tackle.”
From the Council comes these
tips:
Dangers Of Hooks
— Try not to carry fishing
lines with hooks attached.
— Don’t fish too near other
anglers.
— Be careful casting your line.
— Handle with special care
bait-casting plugs that contain
clusters of double or triple hooks.
— If a hook gets imbedded in
you or one of your fishing com-
panions, see a physician, unless
you’re sure the wound is extreme-
ly minor.
— Try never to back a hook out
of a wound. It’s best to push the
point of the hook through the skin.
On Wading
Test each step in advance.
Many streams and pools have
underwater shelves or other drop-
offs.
Remember that flat, underwa-
ter rocks usually are slippery.
Boat Safety
— Check your boat for leaks
or other defects before leaving
shore.
— Take along life preservers,
an extra oar or paddle and a bail-
ing can.
— Don’t overload the boat.
— Never stand in a boat or
sit or stand on the bow or stern.
— Be cautious about changing
places in a boat while in deep
water. Better to come into shal-
low water first.
If Your Boat Capsizes
Stick with it; even most small
boats will support several per-
sons for hours; keep calm; wait
for help to arrive rather than try
to swim ashore.
Coach . . .

sociation of the local High School.
Perhaps the highlight of the
presentation ceremonies was the
short speech made by Tom Star-
bird, a member of the basketball
team that Williams had coached.
As far as we are concerned,
we couldn’t have gotten a better
coach for this season,” he said.
He continued, “After losing
our first game by a drastic score,
he brought us back to this gym
to make a team out of us.”
The high school junior then
praised his coach for “his stout
hearted and vigorous efforts.” He
further remarked that Williams
had “turned the unphysically fit
into the physically fit, the un-
coordinated into the coordinated,
and the prepetual showoffs into
basketball players.”
He recalled many memorable
experiences where Williams’ co-
aching had helped the team, and
then he presented the coach, a
watch as a gift from the team.
In his gracious remarks, the
jubilant, but thankful sailor-coach,
could only speak of the team and
give the credit to those whom he
termed “a hell of a good bunch
of guys.”

vated soil.
Sophomore Lee McGowan ex-
hibited his “Coil of Life” to the
public. Lee studied the history of
the microscopic DNA—a molecule
of which is so minute that even
an electron microscope would fail
to completely divulge the physical
appearance of the cell at one set-
ting. The study of DNA has given
some light as to how cells develop
into complex structures of the
human body.
Coordinators for the Science
Fair were James Rail, an elemen-
tary school teacher, and Caroline
House, a high school science in-
structor.

Do we discipline ourselves to
protect our freedoms? If we do
not, we will bear the far harsher
disciplines which our enemies will
impose on us!
* Heart Throb In The Dewline *
MECHANICAL MONSTROSITY — Gigantic receiving and trans-
mitting antennas tower skyward some 120 feet at the Dye 5 site.
CONTACT MADE — J. C. Taylor patches in one of the many circuits
found in the radio receiving section of Dye 5.
CONTROLS GALORE — John Hedrick tests some of the instruments’
efficiency at one of Dye 5’s “nerve centers.”
Those who have wondered what
the four large, grayish obstacles
towering into the air just north
of the Naval Station are, may
have assumed them to be some
sort of radar or electronic de-
vices. They are just that. These
120 foot concave-type structures,
which can withstand wind over
200 knots, are gigantic receiving
and transmitting screens, the
heart of the Dye 5 site.
Dye 5 is one in a system of 5
sites similar to it, all connected
in the North Atlantic Radar Sys-
tem, and a part of world-wide
communications. This site is a
facility control station and its
purpose is to perform trouble-
shooting in communications cir-
cuits between Cape Dyer, Ice-
land and Fylingdale, England.
Dye 5 is also responsible for mak-
ing reports at to the condition of
these circuits. Other functions of
the site are the up-keep of the
Scotland — Iceland communica-
tions cable and the Canada —
Iceland communications cable.
Furnishing many circuits for
Keflavik, Dye 5 is also used for
communications for IDF to Eu-
rope and to the United States.
The site might be compared in
operation to the office which
provides the circuits for long-
distance telephone calls in the
average U. S. town.
According to Mr. O. M. Culton,
NARS supervisor, “Dye 5 origin-
ally was the “in” station, or the
fartherest east station on the Dew
East System. The site in turn
links Cape Dyer with the old Dew
Line. A rear-ward communica-
tion going out at Cape Dyer, it
is a scatter system back to Goose
Bay.”
The Dye 5 site was construct-
ed, tested and finally put into
service in June 1962. Approxi-
mately one and a half years
after Dye 5 was built, NARS
was initiated. The site is now
the “in” station on the Dew East
System and the beginning of the
NARS. It feeds directly into
many circuits that relay link-
age throughout the system. The
NARS operates from Iceland to
Fylingdale, England, with the
British site acting as the “in”
location of this system.
Dye 5 was build to provide an-
other link in the communications
systems for Fylingdale. It is in-
dependant of electrical power
from Naval Station and can sup-
ply its own power if an emergency
should arise, for it is furnished
with a 100 percent back-up, or
emergency system in event of
power failure. The site has the
capability of a 2,000 kilowatt out-
put.
A government-owned communi-
cations division, Dye 5 was built
and manned by the Western Elec-
tric Company. Experienced is the
best word to describe the crew of
14 men out of the Bell system
now working at the site. Every
man is a volunteer to work in the
North Atlantic Radar System,
and these highly trained technici-
ans have up to 36 years of ex-
perience in the Dew Line network.
All these men have a college or
trade school background, or Bell
system schools under their belts.
The site is constructed so that
two plant technicians and one
power plant technician can main-
tain full operation of it.
As the saying goes — “A chain
is no stronger than it’s weakest
link.” Operating ’round the clock,
seven days a week, Dye 5 is a
vital link in freedom’s life-line
and a part of a gigantic world-
wide communications chain.
