This anniversary mark- ing the end of another decade of military and humanitarian service gives each of us the opportunity to pay homage to the men of the Coast Guard who have contributed so much in both war and peace. It also is the time to take stock in our own selves. To review the lessons learned and to resolve that we shall continue to accomplish our assigned missions in the best traditions of the service. I extend greetings and best wishes to every member of the Coast Guard on this memorable occasion.” Soroptimists, pleased with their opportunity to have a part in the celebration of the Coast Guard's anniversary, were Comdr.

ACORNS TAKE TWO GAMES; PLAY INTO MORNING HOURS (By the Assoctated Press) They played baseball 'til cockcrow at Portland, Ore., this morning, with Oakland’s Acorns taking both ends of a double header and increasing their Pacific Coast League lead to 9%z games. The scores were 9 to 5 and 4 to 1 in a marathon night. Hostilities wound up about 1 am. with the second game only six in- nings along. Special permission was given to start the twin bill an hour later than usual and extend the; regular midnight curfew the same ength of time. In the Vaughn Street Park, the late evening sun blinded outfielders too badly in games beginning at 7 p.m., usual time for doubleheaders to get under- way. The opener was scheduled for seven innings. It went the full nine before the Oaks finally wrapped: it up with two four-run rallies. Second place Hollywood, mean- while, slipped a notch and a half by dropping a 6 to 5 verdict at Se- attle. Bud Sheely’s pinch single capped a four-run uprising in the eighth and chased in what turned out to be the winning run. ! San Francisco also edged third place San Diego by a 6 to 5 count. Neill Sheridan bagged a pair of home runs in behalf of the Seals. And at Los Angeles, where the cir- cuit’s have-not clubs are embroiled, Hefty Max Surkont chucked his 16th addressed hyltriumph of the season as Sacra-| mento laced the Angels, 8 to 5. !
