COAST GUARD WILL RENEW GELEBRATION Anniversary of Creation by Con- gress to Be Observed Washington, Aug. 4 (By Assoclated | Press)—The United States Coast | Guard today renews {ts custom celebrating the anniversary of creatlon by congress on August 1790 Special drills and ceremonies are being held on all coast guard vessels and at all land stations. The career of the coast guard over a period of 132 years is reviewed by Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Clifford in a dispatch which is to be read at muster of all units of the guard. T dispatch says History Read. “On August 4, 1730, George Wash- ington, president of the U'nited States, .approved an Act which included among other provisions, authorization )or the construction of not exceeding /ten revenue cutters and specified ihow cutters should be officered and ned and what should be the .compersation ot their officers, mari- ners and boy: This was an Act of the second session of the first con-| gress and it is of interest to note that ntire session was held in the of its 4th, When Formed “After the freedom of the American eolonies had been won through the ‘War of the Revolution the Continen- tal navy was disbanded. There was then no sea force avallable for the protection of the coasts and the maritime interests of the newly con- etituted United States until the or- |ganization of the revenue cutter serv- ice, effected under this Act of August 4 1790 The cutters formed the only ‘armed force afloat belonging to the iyoung republic until a navy was au- Fthorized a few vears later. The offi- Icers of the first cutters were appointed |largly from the officers who had sgerved in the old Continental navy. It is interesting to know that the first .commission granted by President ‘Washington to any officer afloat was | {ssued to Captain Hopley TYeaton of/| New Hampshire in the revenue cut- | 1ter service. | Birthday. | “August 4, 1790, was, therefore, the | birthday of the Revenue-Cutter Serv- fce which was merged, in 1815, with the Life-Saving Service to form the United States Coast Guard. So, to-| day, August 4, 1922, we are observing | the 132nd birthday anniversary of the Coast Guard Pride in Service. | “The dominant thought in your| minds today should be an intense| pride in the long and honorable record of the service The Coast| Guard {s no mushroom growth Founded at the very outset of our na- | tional history, it has served the coun- try faithfully and well for 132 years, in peace and in war. The service | has played a distinguished part in| every war in which this country has| been engaged, with the exception only of the war with Tripoli and. with a rotable military histery, it has also established a record that is unequaled for humanitarian accomplishment in affording succor to those in distress at | sea. 1t had behind it a long and honerable past before many of the| activities and functions of the gov- ernment that are now so much in the public eye were even dreamed of. Th service was an arm of the gov-| ernment when the young Republic, | just settng out on its career of destiny, had yet to convince the| world of its permanen it played its| part through all the issitudes of | jour national growth unti today when | it 18 a valuable and highly respected | }lnnrumemantv of the greatest nation !mt the world has ever seen.” e e R THEATER OWNER DIES.
