At this season of the year many of the Wide-Awakeés have chaneds for days at the sekshore and if they go te a plae? where there is & coast guard station they can see what is Uncle Sam's life-saving btanch of the govérnment. These créws of life-savérs aré made yp of brave, fes- olute men who are prepafed any minute to spring to the réscue of the pesple ship- wréeked on our shores. They motto, which is “Semper Paratus,” medn- ing. Always Ready. That exaectly presses the idga of the coast gudrd for theyv must be ready at any tine. in fair weather or storms, to push out their boats into the suff to go to the réscve of the passengers and crew of a Vessel in ress. If you zo to the seashore where @ of these life-saving station is it will be very interdsting for veu if you Wwiil get yoyr father or mother to tdke vou to the station where the captaln in charge will be glad to show You the boats and all the applinnces they use in their work. Uncle Sam keens 273 of these stitions along our ehores with men constantly pa- trolling the beath. day and niglit, er keeping wateh from the station to see if their help iz .needed. During the past year 1,621 lives were saved by the Poast guard and 650 persons in distress were cared for while the vilue of the s, and cargocs saved was $86,268.44 1 think we can all agree that the hersis werk of the coast guard is somsthing thit Uncle Sam can well be proud of.
