Chesapeake
Guidebook
Is Published
The Department of Tidewater
Fisheries has announced the
publication of a book, “Cruis
ing Guide for Maryland Wat
ers.”
This 48-page book, with a wat
erproof cover and stainless steel
rustproof staples, was written
especially for small boat use,
and contains a complete marine
atlas of 20 charts in four colors
of Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay,
its tributaries and ocean front,
to the scale of 1:80,000.
These charts are exact repro
ductions of the navigational
charts of the U. S. Coast and
Geodetic Survey, but for the
first time they have been plac
ed in book form of a size small
enough for an outboard runa
bout. The book, when folded,
measures 14 by 10 inches- and
the charts measure 20 by 14
inches, each covering an area
of 22 miles in length and 15
miles in width.
On the charts are shown the
location of marine facilities and
launching ramps, and on the
land area the highways with
•route numbers have been print
id. A major feature of the
•charts is the fact that over 200
courses and distances have been
laid upon them so that the boat
man does not have to bother
with charting a course himself.
Price of the book is $5.15. It
is available from the Board of
Natural Resources, State Office
Building, Annapolis.

had to be turned away this year
, for lack of space.
Nineteen private area firms
specializing in technological de
velopments, as well as 11 gov

county, participated in the
showcase.
Exhibits included a full-sized
model of the Mercury space
capsule and another of the na

nuclear powered satellite sent
into orbit at Canaveral last
month.
Adults and youngsters alike
swarmed through the Armory
during the showing many of
the youngsters startling their
elders with their grasp of the
complicated scientific develop

Praise for the event was
voiced at the meeting of the
County Council this week,
where several Council members
expressed interest in the de
velopment of a permanent ex
hibit of major landmarks and
industries here.
Councilwoman Stella B. Wer
ner asked why the county did
not have such an exhibit—“per
haps just a film presentation
of some sort showing various
county landmarks” since both
the county’s Revenue Authority
and the Park and Planning
Commission both have devel
