Coast Guard Celebrates Birthday;
169 Years Of Service In Peace And War
The oldest of the nation’s sea
services, the U.S. Coast Guard—
celebrated it’s 169th birthday Aug
ust 4.
On that day in 1760, Congress
passed and sent to Pres. Washing
ton a bill to provide ten boats “for
securing and collection of reve
nue.” Almost before it was born,
the Revenue Marine acquired addi
tional duties and responsibilities.
For the next eight years, it was
the nation’s Navy.
The Revenue Cutters, whose pri
inary duty was to suppress smug
gling, slipped as naturally into
search and rescue work as they
did into military operations, Merg
er of the Revenue Cutter Service
with the Treasury’s Lifesaving
Service in 1915—at which time the
name “Coast Guard” was first
used—added a new strain of tradi
tion both heroic and humanitarian.
A generation later, the Mer
chant Marine Inspection Service
and the Lighthouse Service merged
with the Coast Guard, thus con
centrating responsibility for all
phases of safety on the water.
Other odd jobs performed by
the Coast Guard include the In
ternational Ice Patrol in the North
Atlantic Ocean; various icebreak
ing tasks; in 1957, three Coast
Guard cutters circumnavigated
the North America continent to
survey the first “Northwest Pas
sage.”
The Coast Guard has played a
major role in the development of
Alaska. It assisted in connection
with the Western Union Cable Ex
pedition in 1865. Alaskan patrols
by the Bear, the Lincoln, the Man
ning and other cutters resulted in
many daring rescues, the most
famous being the rescue of 300
starving sailors from whaling ships
caught in the ice off Point Barrow
in the winter of 1898. The first
reindeer in Alaska were trans
ported from the Siberian coast to
Teller in 1891. For many years the
CO aboard the Bering Sea Patrol
has acted as a U.S. Commissioner,
while his Executive Officer per
formed the duties of a deputy
marshal.
Here in Kodiak, as well as
throughout Alaska, we have con
stant reminders of the service per
formed by the Coast Guard.* Crews
of the smallest fishing vessel feel
sa.er with its presence in the vicin
ity. With its Air arm, it reaches
out a helping hand quickly and
capably.
Disaster, a meaningful word in
Alaska, no longer carries the con
notation “hopeless”—thanks to
tfie peacetime efforts of the Coast
Guard—with its record of heroic
rescues and its tradition of human
itarian service.

PHOTOGRAPHING YOUR DOG «
By Bob Bartos
Manager, Friskies Research Kennels
In most dog owners’ photo
albums, Fido figures prominent
ly. In the majority of pictures,
however, he appears in group
shots, participating in family
activities.
. If you’re both a camera en
thusiast and a dog owner, you
may be missing the boat by not
taking solo shots of your pet in
characteristic poses. You’ll not
only cherish such pictures when
your pal has passed away, but
with all the photo contests
around, you might snap your
self a winner.
Here are a few tips that
should net you good results.
Have your camera primed and
within easy reach so you’ll be
able to catch Fido at a split
second’s notice. When he hits
an appealing pose, don’t attract
his attention as he’s apt to run
towards you.
Remember the less cluttered
the background is, the more
clearly your subject will stand
out. Also, results will be better
if you shoot in line with your
pet rather than from above or
below him.
If your dog is either very
small or very large," Emphasize
his size by photographing him
with something of contrasting
size. Snap the puppy, for ex
ample, playing with a man’s
shoe, or the big fellow seated in
a small chair.
You’ll find puppies much
harder to photograph than adult
dogs for the simple reason that
the pup seldom stays put for
long. To get a good picture you
really need help. Get your cam
era focused on a certain spot
have the pup deposited there by
someone and then snap quickly
before puppy has a chance to
waddle away.
If human help isn’t available,
put a top grade of quality pre
pared dog food such as Friskies
tb work. Scatter a handful of
Friskies cubes on the focused
spot and the pup will oblige
with some winning poses.
ther relief as the Court may deem
just and proper.
And in the event of your failure
so to appear and answer, plaintiff
will take Judgment against you
for want thereof, and will apply
to the Court for the relief demand
ed in his Complaint as heretofore
stated.
WITNESS THE HONORABLE
J. L. McCARREY, JR., Judge of
said Court and the seal of said
Court hereunto affixed, this 14th
day of July, 1959.
