In the first game, the Blue Sox will tackle the first plage Red Raid- ers. } —. Gabe “Fiteball”, Lastres, a former pitcher of tle Red Raid- ers, arrived from South Caro- lina yesterday where he had been pitching semi-pro ball, and is expected to sign with the C. Albury, of the Trojans, had ‘is former teammates, \the Red Raiders, handcuffed for five in- nings until he had to leave the game because of a sore ;back. Fidel Lopez’ homer in the seventh inning was a long blow traveling about 400 feet in the Albio Acevedo, Blue! Sox sec- received a good hand when he went into right- field to snag Jim Albury’s pop fly. Rene Machin, Pirate outfield- had a wild afternoon on the bases as he pilfered four bases. John Navarro and Gilbert Val- dez, Trojan keystone combina- tion, played nice defensive games. Each handled six chances without an error. Mario Hernandez, crack Raid- er thirdsacker, also played a good defensive game. Pancho Salinero, hard-hitting Pirate pitcher, had a bad day at the plate. In five trips, Salinero ‘struck out three times, and Sellers and L. Smith. The Raid-' pounded out twice. et tear ts MH Haskins, B. Sweeting, G. comprised of D.

Blanketing the Atlantic and! Gulf of Mexico coasts and reach- | ing far out into the Atlantic, the | U.S. Coast Guard maintains and} operates a network of radio sta- i tions, scouting planes and rescue ! ships that save hundreds of lives} and thousands of dollars worth of | property every month from the} perils of sea and storm. ! 1,178 Saved In Month A single month’s report of the U.S. Coast Guard Eastern Area, which follows the coast from; Greenland to the - Rio Grande, : gives a graphic picture of the ex- | tent of the Coast Guard’s opera- | tions, the amount of lives and! property they save. i A typical month is July, 1946, | a month in which the Coast Guard ! rescued 1,178 people, recovered 14 bodies, and rendered assist- ; ance to 538 ships and 109 aircraft. } “We were formerly known as| the ‘Air Sea Rescue’ division,” | says Rear Adm. Ed H. “Iceberg” | Smith, commanding officer of the | Eastern Area Coast Guard. “But; we changed the name to and Rescue’ because the phrase. ‘Air Sea Rescue’, would not trans- | late properly into the languages j of other nationalities with whom { DUCK speeds rescued magnetic markers which show at, a glance the approximate location } of every ship moving in the At- lantic or on the Gulf of Mexico. | Also on this map are the air line} routes operated on regular sched- ; ules. If the Coast Guard receives | an SOS or other distress appeal, the Communications Officer can | glance at the continuously chang- | ing map and tell within a matter | of seconds what ships and what, planes are in the vicinity of the; vessel in distress. At the same | time that he appeals to nearby ships, other branches of the Coast Guard rush cutters and planes out from the nearest ports. The Coast Guard works on the theory | that it is safer to utilize all meth-; | ods of rescue simultaneously ra-| ther than to attempt one at a time. That was the way it worked in! the Gander disaster when Coast} Guard ships, foot guides, helicop- | ters and amphibian planes all} were ordered to the rescue at the | same time. The helicopters were | the ones that accomplished the! feat, but the other means assisted | materially. In receiving messages of dis-| tress, Coast Guard communica- | tions frequently run into trouble; because most SOS signals are sent | through storms which strongly | interfere with radio reception. This handicap is partially over- come as several Coast Guard ra- CHARTING every ship—Chief Warrant Bos’n George A.

Can't Risk Mistakes “Our information on sea and air| traffic goes out in English, French and Spanish. We have to phrase that information so that it will translate in a clear cut manner.” Rear Adm. Smith not only com- mands the entire Eastern Area of the Coast Guard, but he also.com- mands the Third District (New | York Section) of the rescue oper- ations, and also is Captain of the Port of New York. His staff is headed by Capt. W. R. Richards as chief of staff, Capt. R. L. Burke as Operations and Air Officer, Lt. Comdr. R. M. Munroe as Public Information Of- ficer and Lt. C. C. Lantz as Com- munications Officer. The Eastern Area is divided in- to districts with headquarters at Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Norfolk, Miami, New Orleans, San Juan (Porto Rico), and a North Atlantic Ocean Patrol. Every Ship Charted On a huge wall map in the headquarters operations room are | along the Atlantic Coast may re- ceive a different part of a garbled SOS. These separate bits are quickly placed on the Coast Guard teletype network and when they are all patched together enough of the complete message is re- trieved to give almost all infor- mation needed. Marks the Spot Another system is the almost fool proof plan of direction find- ers where separate stations pick up garbled radio beams from a ship in distress. By crossing the beams on the radio map, they can | discover the approximate loca- | tion. While the Coast Guard encour- | ages the public to call on them | for help, some of these calls can } be needless and at times have dis- tressing aftermaths. For instance, the Coast Guard is frequently | asked to search for overdue fish- | ing vessels and the search quite} often ends in finding that the} fishing party has merely pulled | up into some quiet cove for a} prolonged session of poker. Com- | mander Munroe points to the case | of a search and rescue flight from | the San Francisco Coast Guard | station last August 7 when six} Coast Guardsmen were killed in a plane crash. Later it was dis- | covered that the fishing vessel for which they were searching had been safely anchored in the harbor at the time of the alert. Bombs for Davey Jones | Water Carries | zones in the t | i dio stations at different points One of the most recent of its | ‘Outback’ Mail In Australia SYDNEY, Australia. —(AP)— /| In parts of the Australian bush EW YORK.—Newspaper headlines succinctly told the story:/letters are carried by strange “Kir Rescue Ends; Last Ten Survivors Flown to Gander; }“mailmen’—often by tradesmen and even by passing strangers. Almost every traveler in the out- back has had the experience of being asked to deliver a letter. Sometimes letters are left on a cleft stick or under a stone with a “marker” and the next man takes it along. In the bush a let- ter is a sacred trust born out of the comradeship of pioneer days. In the artesian water belt of southwest Queensland people of- ten talk of news traveling by “bore drain cable.” The phrase has the same meaning as “bush telegraph”—a piece of news that has arrived swiftly and mys- teriously but is often true. In some districts the term has mean-' ing—which may point to the origin of the first. A message in a jam tin will float miles along a well-kept ditch carrying water from a bore until stopped by a piece of wire or netting set there for that purpose. On one occasion a trooper stayed overnight with a man suspected of being a cattle thief. The policeman talked most of the night so that the suspect had no chance of slipping off to warn accomplices. But while he talked a letter had been floating down the bore drain to tell of his arrival and evidence was de- stroyed.

De- partment of this American entry port into Germany has a piggy bank, a picture of General Mac- Arthur and a barrel of soap for whom it would like to find the owners.

In the smaller communities the} local weekly, closer and more in-j timate, reflected every activity] of the community. It is difficult to imagine a country, state or even a commun- ity without a newspaper. The few times that newspapers have been suspended publication due; to strikes or disasters their. loss, ! even for a short period of time,! has been keenly felt. When a strike forced the Ro-| chester, N. Y., papers to suspend, | citizens of that community paid; as high as a dollar a copy for out; of town papers.
