PAGE EIGHT COAST GUARD LOG WRITES SPEECH FOR THE ADMIRAL Admiral Joseph Greenspun had set down general facts about the United States Coast Guard for a speech today, and was wondering which vivid incidents to use in illustrating his talk. “Then things began to pop,” he said this noon. “From then on, the Coast Guard itself wrote this speech.” | In observance of the Coast Guard's 150th anniversary August 4, the 1t7h District commander was guest speaker today at the Kiwanis Club luncheon meeting in the Baranof Gold Room. The admiral descrived last week- end e o 0o 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 LIST OF SALMON DERBY AWARDS IN EMPIRE THURSDAY A complete list of awards in the recent salmon derby will be printed in The Empire to- morrow and the awards may be obtained 24 hours later at the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company’s office.

Then | the U.S. Air Force C-54 lost | ¢ and the Storis was pulled away to! join the search. Also rushed to the! search area were the buoy-tender Citrus, which was installing aids to navigation near Cross Sound, the patrol boat Cahoone, engaged in small-arms target practice near| Ketchikan. | “In rapid-fire order came the next incidents. A fishing vessel W \‘nl' on the rocks at Prince of Wales Is- land—the buoy-tender White Hol was dispatched. Came an emergency call to evacuate a man who had deéply gashed his leg with an axe—, a Coast Guard airplane took off | from' Annette. “A fishing vessel went aground— the Thistle pulled her off. The 83- footer left the Derby to tow thej fishing vessel Tacora from near| Funtér Bay. The personnel of the; Sentinal Island light station towed another 'disabled vessel in. ‘“Then, last night,.a call came from Yakobi Island that a man was bleeding to death. An Annette Is- land plane was rushed to him, with Dr. Joseph Rude aboard, but the man died before help could reach him.” In quick review, Admiral Green- spun had traced the growth of the} Coast Guard from the time when,| on recommendation of Alexander Hamilton, first Secretary of the Treasury, Congress authorized con- struction of ten boats to stamp out smuggling and collect customs. “For ‘eight years then,” he said,; “that little fleet of revenue cutters was the country’s only naval {frce.” He told of amalgamating the ol revenue cutter, lighthouse, lifesav- ing and steamboat inspection serv- ices into the Coast Guard; of the Service's regular, reserve and aux- iliary organizations; its responsibil- | 1Hies td adinister and’ protiulgate \. and | 2 INET SAGS, MINE |rl\ey called on the Coast Guard | ported belching smoke, ash and a yesterday 2k Brink, radio station KENI| mploye, brought the report back to Anchorage after a flight around the mountain.
