No "Sugar and Spice'
Storm Girls Could Signal Trouble
For Texas Coastal Area Residents
“Celia,” “Carla,’' and “Beu
lah ” They were no fun; they
were hurricanes And in spite of
their sweet sounding names,
they don't repres^gt sugar and
spice and everything nice.
Instead, they meant destruction
to lives and property. Unfor-
tunately, there’ll be others like
them - maybe this year.
** Nam«s like Candice. Dottie.
Nola, and Ruth are on the 1976
list 6ne could be a killer
hurricane. Scores of indivi-
duals. local and state agencies,
the Texas insurance industry,
groups like the American Red
Cross, offices like the National
Weather Service - all stand
ready each year to provide
assistance if the “girls” are
sighted in the Atlantic Ocean,
Caribbean Sea, or Gulf of
Mexico.
The season for this particular
kind of “girl watching" begins
officially in June and runs
through November.
Why are girls’ names picked
for what's known as the
“greatest storm on earth"?
According to the National
Weather Service, experience
shows that a girl’s name is
better understood in both
written as well as spoken
communications. It is shorter,
quicker and less subject to error
than other methods, such as the
older but more cumbersome
latitutde - longitude identifica-
tion methods (Some outspoken
women's organizations have
protested about this system and
perhaps some day it will be
changed )
When there's a need to
exchange detailed storm data
between hundreds of widely
scattered stations, airports,
coastal bases, and ships at sea.
it's important to have easily
remembered names to reduce
confusion and misinformation
It also helps in keeping track of
the exact location of the storm.
The use of girls' names has
been in effect since 1953 There
is a separate set of names each
year and they are kept
alphabetical (without Q, U, X.
Y. and Z because of the scarcity
of names beginning with those
letters).
In the event of an extremely
damaging hurricane, “her”
name is retired permanently
from the list and a new name is
substituted. Every 10 years, the
list -- minus the "bad" ones - is
repeated.
Here are the names for
storms in the Atlantic-
Caribbean Gulf area for 1976
and 1977.
1976 — Anna. Belle, Candice,
Dottie, Emmy, Frances, Gloria.
Holly, Inga, Jill, Kay, Lilias.
Maria. Nola. Orpha, Pamela,
Ruth. Shirley. Trixie, Vilda,
Wynne.
1977 — Anita, Babe, Clara,
Dorothy, Evelyn, Frieda,
Grace, Hannah, Ida, Jodie,
Kristina. Lois, Mary, Nora,
Odel, Penny, Raquel, Sophia.
Trudy, Virginia. Willene

One of the better possibilities
to reduce operating cost on
shrimp boats as well as other
watercraft will be discussed at
a Sea Grant program on July 1.
The subject of the program is
vessel propulsion with primary
emphasis on the Kort Nozzle
and associated propellors Long
used on work boats to provide
maximum power with mini-
mum fuel consumption, the
Kort Nozzle is only recently
making its debut on the
commercial fishing scene
The county Sea Grant
Advisory planners have ar-
ranged for Walter Zimmerman
of Marine Mart, a boat building
firm in Port Isabel, to explain
the concepts and adaptations of

the Kort Nozzle. Zimmerman
has installed a nozzle on some of
his shrimp boats and reports a
fuel economy of approximately
20 percent while maintaining
the same towing capabilities. A
representative from the head-
quarters of Michigan Propellor
Corporation will join Zimmer-
man on the program George
Hydrick of Marine Propellor
Works Inc. of Aransas Pass is
making arrangements with
Michigan Propeliors for the
sending of their representative.
With the probability of
continued rising fuel costs, the
Aransas-San Patricio Sea Grant
Advisory Committee feels it is
essential for every boat
operator to learn as much as
possible about methods of fuel
economy. The Kort Nozzle
might be a solution in the fight
to keep operating cost down.
This program will begin at
7:30 on Thursday, July 1 in the
conference room of the First
State Bank in Aransas Pass
The program is free and open
to the public. For more
information, contact Ralph
Rayburn, County Extension
Marine Agent, Rockport,
