...Payoff. Shifting his summers to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution on Cape Cod, Ewing conducted gravity studies from the submarine Barracuda, designed and built a much-improved camera to picture the ocean bottom. Impressed by the distance that explosion waves travel through sea water, he tried to sell the Navy on using them for communication. But not until seven years later, in 1944, did his system get a trial. Then he proved that waves from a 4-lb. depth charge exploded 4,000 ft. below the ocean's surface can be heard 1,200 miles away. This communication method...
Much in demand as a designer of exhibitions, books, and animated murals in stained glass for commercial buildings, Kepes reserves his best hours for painting of the stillest sort, often at the studio of his house in Wellfleet, Cape Cod. He coats each large canvas with thin color, then drips onto it what appear to be blobs, twigs and trailings of plastic glue. Onto the glue he drips sand from the beach. Then he works in gobs of bright color with a palette knife, and finally glazes over most of the picture with more thin sheets of color. The results...
...Bottoms. Japan's oceanographers have also spotted new places to drag for bottom fish such as cod and halibut. To find them, a survey ship cruises in likely places until it is in water of the right depth (no more than 750 ft.). Then its scientists study the bottom with electronic sounding gear, test the currents with meters. If the bottom is rocky or too steep, it will damage the fishermen's dragging apparatus. If a fast current flows near the bottom, fish will be scarce. A fast current at higher levels may make dragging difficult...
...salt water fisherman will be trying to catch sharks similar to the seven-foot blue which Fieser landed off Cape Cod after a nip-and-tuck battle for several hours...
...show (more than 200 boats displayed). Some 40% of all small pleasure boats being built are of fiber glass; last year alone, plastic boat production jumped from 85,000 to 130,000 boats. Among the plastic sail fleet: a 17-ft. Thistle sloop ($1,875 without sails), Cape Cod Shipbuilding's 23-ft. Marlin day sailor ($5,500 without sails), the 25-ft. New Horizons auxiliary sloop ($8,950 with sails), and the 41-ft. Bounty II with a new yawl rig to improve its racing potential. Newest members of the flotilla are the catamarans, which will easily outspeed...
