Egan Proclaims
American Education Week
Governor William A. Egan urges
the citizens of Alaska to join in
the observance of Nov. 10 through
Nov. 16, as American Education
Week, and calls upon all Alaskans
to inform themselves as to the
quality of education and the oppor
tunities which our schools, col
leges and universities now afford.
The Governor further calls upon
all Alaskans in a public Proclama
tion, to inform themselves of the
problems which confront these vital
institutions, and to work toward
the resolution of these problems.
He reminds his fellow citizens
that the attainment of excellence
in education is the responsibility
of each one of us; that it is a re
sponsibility to our society today,
and an obligation to our citizens
of the future.

Wirtz Begins Studies
On Manpower Needs
WASHINGTON — Three “pilot
institutes" on the subject of the
economy’s manpower needs and
their relevance to school curricula,
vocational education and guidance
programs were announced by Sec
retary of Labor W. Willard Wirtz.
They will be conducted for edu
cators by the Joint Council on Eco
nomic Education under the Man
power Development and Training
Act.
"This program undertaken with
the Joint Council is part of the ;
broadening effort of the Labor De
partment," Secreary Wirtz said,
“to work with the educational com- i
munitv to relate school programs :
to changing manpower needs. The
participants will explore means of
developing a better understanding
of current and future occupational
requirements and their implications
for needed adjustments in the edu
cational development and guidance ;
of our youth.”
Headquarters of the Joint Coun
cil on Economic Education are in
New York. The project will be
under the direction of the Joint
Council's Director M. L. Frankel,
and Associate Director George L
Fersh.

Giant Missile Fizzles
CAPE CANAVERAL UP — A
Minuteman missile went out of con- |
trol and exploded in flight after
being launched from Cape Ca
naveral yesterday. Flaming frag
ments fell over a wide area and !
some fires were started. However,
there were no injuries and no dam
age to property.
The 58-foot intercontinental
range rocket was launched from 1
an 85-foot deep silo. It was sup- j
posed to travel 1,700 miles down
the Atlantic Range. However, it
went out of control almost the in- 1
stant it cleared the silo.
Several hundred feet high, it
suddenly flew apart.

Requiem for The Bear
(From U.S. Coast Guard Files)
PART II
(Continued)
By December 14, 1897, it was
clear t at the Boar had come as
far north as she could go. Approx
imately 85 miles off Cape Nome
the ice was so thick that she was
forced to turn back. But before she
returned the BEAR landed an over
land party on Nelson Island, near
Cape Vancouver. It consisted of
First Lieutenant D. H. Jarvis, Sec
ond Lieutenant E. P. Bertholf, and
Surgeon S. J. Call, all of the Rev
enue Cutter Service.
Equipped with dog teams, sleds,
and guides, Jarvis and his compar.
'o"s set out for Point Barrow. Be
fore them lay a 1,600 m lo journey
t rough frozen, trackless wilder
ness. The “Overland Expedition for
the Relief of the Whalers in the
Arctic Ocean” as it was ponder
ously called, became one of the
gnat epics of the north.
During the exhaust, ng journey.
Tan-is and Call collected a herd
f nearly 450 reindeer. Driving
the herd ahead of them in the face
cf the iev winds the party reached
Point Barrow about three and one
half months after being put ashoi'e
by the BEAR. To the despairing
whalers, the arrival of t e relief
party was nothing short of a mi
racle. Mealy’s foresight had paid
off.
The BEAR which had been read
out of service in 1885 was stiil
around in 1918 when the United
States entered World War I. For
the duration of the war she served
with the U.S. Navy. This, how
ever. did not change her routine
patrol of Alaskan waters.
In 1929 the BEAR was decom
missioned and turned over to the
city of Oakland, California, for
use as a maritime museum. The
BEAR was getting on now, but
there were still great moments
ahead. In the early 1930s Admiral
Richard E. Byrd was looking for a
vessel suitable for operating in'
ice in his Second Antarctic Expe- ^
dition. Hearing that the BEAR
was available, he opened negotia
tions with officials of the City of
Oakland, Calif. The bargain was
concluded for the incredibly low
price of $1,050, one of the best1
buys in history. An entry in her
log for June 19, 1932. reveals that
she was en route to Boston for
overhaul and refitting with a vol
unteer crew aboard.
Refitting completed, the BEAR,
on September 25, 1933, left Boston
under the command of Lieutenant
(j g-> Robert A. J. English, USN
After a rugged trip, she reached
the Bay of Whales and Little Amer
ica in the latter part of January,
1934.

1 BEAR’s services. This time, how
ever, her boiler and engine were
taken out and a modern diesel
drive installed. Her auxiliary
equipment was electrified. By May
lfi, 1041, she had completed her
work in the Antarctic and was
back at Boston.
By this time, the shadow of
World War II was stretching over
the United States. Shortly after
' er return from the Antarctic the
BEAR was assigned to the Green
land Patrol operated by the US.
Coast Guard. She took part in the
capture of the Norwegian trawler
BUSKOE which had been fitted
out by the Germans to transmit
weather reports and information on
Allied ship movements.
The BEAR’s days of active serv
ice were now drawing to a close.
In June, 1944, she was stricken
from the Navy list of active vessels
and turned over to the Maritime
Commission for sale.
A Canadian steamship company
purchased her in 1948 with the in
tention of converting her to her
former role as a scaling vessel.
Before this could be accomplished
the price of seal oil and skins
Iropped and all work on her was
stopped.
I For a while it seemed as though
j t'-e BEAR would end her days in
| dishonor on a Nova Scotia beach;
; however, she was purchased for
I eventual use as a commercial mu
seum and restaurant near Phila
delphia, Pa. The end came for the
BEAR as she was being towed to
Philadelphia.
Now the BEAR lies in her final
resting place at the bottom of the
Atlantic after a legendary career
which has spanned several genera
tions. To all men who are inter
ested in maritime lore she will re
main a shining legend, and her
exploits will continue to be told as
long as men go down to the sea
in ships.
