Kodiak Coast Guard Has Busy
Week-Flies Four Mercy Missions
Local Coast Guardsmen were
busy last week flying out on four
different occasions on mercy mis
sions to answer distress calls to aid
injured or ill persons at sea or
located in remote areas.
When a crewman of the Japa
nese fishing vessel Akebono Maru
came down with appendicitis, a
doctor from the mothership Eijin
Maru performed an appendectomy.
Unfortunately for the patient, 35
year-old Yuji Kaisaku, peritonitis
set in. Having exhausted their med
ical facilities, and with the patient
getting worse, the ship put out a
call for help.
The ship was directed to proceed
to St. Paul Island for a rendezvous
with a Coast Guard aircraft from
Kodiak. Ship and aircraft both ar
rived at St. Paul at noon on Tues
day and the patient was then
flown to Anchorage where he was
placed in the Elmendorf Air Force
Base Hospital.
The same day another Coast
Guard amphibian from Kodiak was
dispatched to Sand Point to evacu
ate a Canadian, 49-year-old Oswald
Egelatad, from the Canadian fish
ing vessel Masonic. Egelatad had
suffered a severe laceration on the
right thumb and was returned to
Kodiak and placed in Griffin Me
morial Hospital.
I hree days earlier the Master of
the Masonic had to be air evacu
ated by the Coast Guard. A Coast
Guard amphibian from Kodiak
flew Skipper Thomas Mittenen
from Sand Point to Anchorage
where he was placed in the Alaska
Native Service Hospital. Mittenen

Public to Build Salk Institute
Through their contribution* to the Salk Institute Building Fund, the
American people-who formed a partnership with science to bring
about the Salk polio vaccine—will again share in a great scientific
venture to help man make the best of his gift of life.
When there is a job to be done—whether it’s a war
to be won or a disease to be conquered—the American
Deople have an amazing way of marshaling their efforts
to produce maximum results in minimum time._
Such an effort is under way
this month in the nationwide
campaign—June 1 through 15
—for public support for the
construction of the Salk. Insti
tute for Biological Studies.
Millions of posters in public
places, mailers in home letter
boxes, coin collectors and can
isters on counters everywhere
proclaim, “You Can Build the
Salk Institute for Biological
Studies ... for Life, Health
and Humanity.”
Youngsters who, as Polio
Pioneers” helped prove the ef
fectiveness of the vaccine de
veloped by Dr. Jonas Salk, are
expressing their gratitude for
their protection from crippling
polio with contributions in
school envelopes.
People everywhere are proud
ly wearing tiny microscopes in
their lapels, symbolic of their
gifts to provide building blocks
for a great new laboratory of
life. . . .
Millions of Americans, who
won a great victory over one
dread disease—paralytic polio
—in partnership with Dr. Salk
and other scientists, welcome
thl« opportunity to become
shareholders in a new scien
tific venture which promises
even greater benefits for them
and for their children.
As he worked on the polio
vaccine, Dr. Salk became more
and more aware of the need
for a better way to gain greater
scientific understanding of the
basic processes of life and their
relation to health and disease.
In talking with men of sci
ence all over the world, he
found that others shared his
recognition of the need for a
place where scientists could
work together seeking answers
to basic biological questions
from many viewpoints, with
fullest latitude for research,
discussion and exchange of
ideas. . ,
Dr. Salk’s planning will cul
minate in 1963 with the open
ing of the Salk Institute for
Biological Studies, which he
will direct, in San Diego, Calif.
The land has been given by
vote of the people of San
Diego. The entire nation will
contribute to the construction
of the Institute through a cam
paign sponsored by The Na
“...FOR LIFE,'
HEALTH
AND
HUMANITY" '
tional Foundation-March of
Dimes—just as the American
people totally supported Dr.
Salk’s polio research.
The Institute will serve as
an international “crossroads”
for new ideas and discoveries.
Eminent scholars from such
diverse sciences as biology,
genetics, chemistry, physics,
mathematics and philosophy
will join Dr. Salk there as
Senior Fellows. Visiting scien
tists will come from all parts
of the world, and promising
young men and women will be
invited as Student Fellows to
work with and learn from the
established leaders.
Construction and equipment
of the Salk Institute will cost
approximately $15 million.
Through their generous sup
port of the Salk Institute
Building Fund, the American
people, who took such a vital
part through the March of
Dimes in bringing about the
momentous medical discovery
that was the Salk vaccine, will
bring to reality a great inter
national scientific center, dedi
cated to helping man make the
best of his gift of life.

Kinley advised.

years in law enforcement work.
He is married and has eight chil
