launching of the fund's 1971 Annual Giving Campaign, will be applied to a number of new or continuing proj- ects supported by the fund as supple- ments to the academy's maritime offi- cer training program. Prominent among these is the acquisition of a new eight-man shell for use by Kings Point oarsmen in the academy's newly-established sport of crew rac- ing. The gift will also defray final pro- duction costs of a sound-color film, "The Kings Point Story," produced by the fund in the past year for na- tional release through television and organizational channels. The Kings Point Fund is a non- profit corporation which receives and administers contributions from the academy's alumni and friends, cor- porations, and foundations in the in- terest of a more effective and indi- vidually rewarding officer training program for the American merchant marine. Hoffman's added a 250 ton mobile truck crane to its fleet to help you turn your ships around quicker. Your ships never had it so good.
