The Coast Guard operates an
extensive system of loran stations
for the protection of overseas
transportation, and has long pro
mulgated suggested specifications
for radar equipment. Research re
lating to electronic navigational
aids for use by navigators was un
dertaken by the Coast Guard as a
natural function because its tra
ditional duties are saving lives
and property at sea, maintaining
aids to navigation, and merchant
marine inspection.
In ‘Electronic Navigational Aids’
it is believed the non-technical
treatment of the subject presents
sufficient facts for determining
the benefits to be derived in ap
plying this type of equipment to
the safeguarding of life and prop
erty at sea.
Copies are now being sent to all
commercial transportation com
panies in the Territory of Alaska.
Others interested in receiving this
booklet should address their re
quests to Public Information Sec
tion, District Coast Guard Office.

Sure I love the blond highlights
that shine in your hair,
And your brow that’s so smooth
and unwrinkled by care.
I love the dear way you blow
smoke rings for me—
But two packs a day? Please,
Mother Machree!
It’s Mom who’s doing the heavy
smoking these days in the U. S. A.!
She not only buys but also smokes
68 per cent of all cigarettes sold.
These figures are revealed by a
hation-wide survey just completed
by the research department of the
Fleming-Hall Tobacco Company,
New York cigarette manufactur
ers.
The survey further reveals that
76 per cent of women smokers
smoke a pack a day and that 64
per cent are married women.
Its findings established first that
69 per cent of all cigarettes were
being purchased by women, but at
that time it was assumed that
many were buying cigarettes for
their husbands. So 25,000 women
n’ore ouest oned as they entered or
left retail tobacco stores, and their
answers showed that 99 per cent
of them were buying cigarettes
for themselves and only 1 per cent
were buying for someone else.
These figures contrast striking
ly with the findings of 15 years
ago, when it was estimated that,
women smoked only 10 per cent of
the cigarettes sold, and ten years
ago, when they accounted for 40
per cent of the nation’s cigarette
smoking.
