In my boyhood. I rt'as blessed to have a father rvho lo'r,ed mother na' ture. especialll'the sport and pleasure

all unusual to go dorvn to Lake Michigan and come home rvith a catch o{ 40 to 60 edible" succulent

fish that -ny dear Mother would prepare. u'hich rvere a gourmet's delightl This prelude brings me to the point o{ this stor\. . . . What has happened to our fishing grounds and this beauti{ul Lake Michigan of ours?

It has been the custom for the past

ser,eral 1'ears {or my wi{e. Marjorie,

arid I to spend our sumrrler vacation r:ruising on Lake Michigan ancl fish' ing whenever rve cou.ld. But rvhat has happened over the past feu' Years?

Tuo sumrners ago we stayed in the Chicago area, as we ditl this past sum' mer. On several occasio.ns we fished (trvo years ago) and never had even a nibble. This year rny wife caught orie perch--I repeat. a perch-oneon more than five diflerent or-casions

and days-Why?-.

Commodore

I'll tell you

vrhy-because of the tremendous increase in pollution during recent years. You may read this and sayjust because some idiot so whatl

vou've or,eriooked a {undamental fact ir{ Ii{e (exi-.tence) " rvater-pure rvater (unless liou are immune to typhoid. etc. ) is arr essential human need to lir,e.

T u,as appalled one da,v last July

in 1965 rvhen rve crossed the lake from Chicagci to St. Joe. Michigan to see untold numbers o{ cardboard milk

George B. Wendt settled to the bottom, although I'rr not too certain, as I couldn't identifr' all the scum, rill-rafi and other unmentionables! It matle rne ill to think that so-called refined, educated, knowledgeable boating people would deser:rate and pollute a divine gi{t rvhich rras placed here for us to enjoy.

My plea to 1'eu u. yachtsn-ren is just this-please. piease discipline yourseh,es" crerv. and guests not to contaminate or pollute the waters you errjoy so much. If you don't indulge in sel{ regulation it only means that goyernmented authority 'lvill force you to do so. Before that happens, let's

exhibit our o1\rn ability to alleviate and conquer a serious situation so that l our children and theirs will have a heritage to enjoy as we've had.

Privateer.

1966 rnarks the 4lst year that the Chicago Yacht Club has directly sponsored the Privateer and to the best o{

our knowledge it is the oldest continuously registered Sea Scout ship in the LTnited States. It should be o{ interest to all to know sornethinpl about

this organizaion.

The Sea Scout program is a part o{ the Boy Scouts of America. Boys are

eligible to join at age 14 and manv of them continue as members until they are ready to attend college. There

is no required family relationship between the boys and members of the Chicago Yacht Club, as any boy can join if he is interested and is elected

to membership by the other members o{ the Ship. Most of the Scouts are

of Chicago and occasionally some

depending upon their interest and ability. There are {our principal ranks Seaman, Ordinarr, Ahle -Apprentice and Quartermaster.

The one activity which most o{ the boys look forward to is the actual sailing experience u,hich comes after thev have put in time acquiring the basic

knolledge for boat handling.

Some of the boys elect to sail with members of the Club and accept

responsibility to help rnaintain the

boat as well as sail on it. Others are more interested in radio, marlinspike

and seamanship, skin diving and a 3

The Ship participates in the Venetian Night parade. marches on Mernorial Day and the 4th of July as a civic' duty. Many o{ our Scouts have continued their participation in regular sailing activities and some have becorne active rnembers of the Yacht Club.

In addition to the personal contribution the Chicago Yacht Clulr rnakes to each boy active in the Sea Scout Ship Privateer. the Club makes

annual financial contribution to the Chicago Council of Boy Scouts of America.

Mr. Robert Knight remarked that this u.as the first n.reeting he had been irn,ited to attencl in two -vears, and said that he rvould rather see tnore people encouraged to corle to tl're rneetings than to cut dorun the size of the Working Con'rmittee, or the num" ber needed for a quorutn.

Mr. Jack Kearns suggested that the agenda of all meetirrgs be mailed to

study he had made in an attempt to find a sensible and fair u'av of establishing the lowest limit of rating

r,r,hich would quali{v boats {or tl.re

Mackinac Race. This limit was based on the uncorrected L factor o{ 24 or over. This factor appears on al1 cet'tificates. It was noted that this lorr lirnit would not restrict any boats prer,iously entered in the 1965 l4lackinac Race. He suggested a l.rossible {urther safety restriction as to cockpit size. as used in the Bermuda Race. and volunteered to obtain {urther irr{ormation on this subject.

Dr. Potter rnoved that the limit o{ uncorrectetl L of 24 be approved. The rnotion rvas seconded by Mr. Li,veli Cohb. After a brie{ discussion the motion was carried. lVIr. Wallt. Stenhouse commented otr

the absence of Race Cornmittee at the finish of several Iong distance races irr 1965, and suggested that a professional Race Committee man be hired. if possible in conjunction with other clubs. It was decided to look into thi-c

It wqs q wonderful Children's Christmqs Porty By Pierre Portier Christmas for the Chicago Yacht Club youngsters came around as usual, a few days be{ore its actual oelebra-

tion. It was a green Christmas, mild.

No complaints though over the lack of

snow. This unseasonal situation was favorably accepted by those who, otherwise, would have been logical candidates to snow boots and snow suits removal. Be that as it may the celebration did not sufier in traditional spirit. The Chicago Harbor Clubhouse was an inspiring sight with a 30 foot tree on the lawn facing the lake, another 12 footer inside the clubhouse.

Both trees sparkling with blinking

lights, brightly colored glass orna-

mints and shining tinsels, to catch the eyes of the young crowd and build up

their expectations.

The Main Dining Room with a

stage, rows of chairs, was ready for the show. A lady accordionist, clever with music and with a way appealing to children, started group singing of

yule tunes building up the mood as her audience grew, to persuade the less timids to join her on the stage to perform in solos, duos and trios. A11 were most willing, hamming a little, shying and coying a little, but perform they did, putting their little hearts into their acts and drawing applauses from their peers as well as

the adults.

Our {aithful "Bozo" purposely grotesque in oversize shoes, baggy

pants, critically short jacket adorned with enormous buttons and a giant necktie, all o{ violently contrasting

life under their adroit manipulations and dialogues.

The puppets, their repertoire exhausted, were succeeded by a magician. If young in years, this tall, engaging young man in impeccable formal tail coat fooled us all by his mastery o{ the art of deception. With few props, coolness and knowhow, he, unperturbed, made things vanish into

nothing, anti-climaxing with sudden apparitions of various objects plus doves and rabbits from apparently

nowhere. All along complementing his

act and doubly entertaining his audience with a purpose{ul patter. This gay and amusing display of talents was much enjoyed by the young peo' ple and their parents. But this was a mere prelude to the clirnax of the

aflair: the descent of Santa Claus.

Growing sounds of bells heralded the arrival o{ Santa. Suddenly heavy steps were heard on the stairs leading

from the roo{ to the patio and Santa

made his entry into the clubhouse.

In this much talked about "Space Age" we have concluded that Santa has long had the secret of getting in and out of orbit and unselfishly has condescended to have the scientists catch up with him. But Santa was there, in red garments trimmed with white {ur, waving beard, thick snowflaked eyebrows, large black belt and silver buckle girding his respectable waist and carrying a bag {ull of gifts over his shoulder. Adjourning to his reserved seat, very patiently. he personlly greeted each and everyone of

his visitors, inquiring of their behavior during the past year, whispering encouragement to maintain their efiorts at being good girls and good boys and giving his ultimate accolade by presenting a well-filled bag. T'was a treat to watch these youngsters walk-

ing away beaming with happiness.

'Ihis Christmas Party under the Chairmanship of Dr. G. Wm. Chris' toph and his entertainment committee 'We are especially was most success{ul. indebted to Mr. Weldon P. Cody, our Race Committee Chairman, {or his

convincing impersonation of Santa.

Tireless and always willing, his contribution to this annual event is noteworthy. Not to be forgotten are the willing helpers whose concerted ellorts assured a smooth function. To Messrs.

Thomas Ball, William Parks, Franklin Gutowsky, Alex Anderson, Winn Ellis, Gene McCarthy, Jim Martin, Peter McArthur, Don Bowden, Anthony Koefoot, we are grateful {or your gracious cooperation. To all our wonder{ul members who make our jobs pleasant throughout the year, we, all of us, wish to say a Huppy New Year.

It is a pleasure to serve you.
