PLIGHT OF COAST GUARD
It was a rather appealing story that was told last
week regarding the plight of his men by Lieutenant Com
mander Yeandle of the Coast Guard. While it was not in
tended as an excuse for the actions of those guardsmen
who have been convicted of conniving with nun-runnel's,
it may be considered by some as affording mitigating cir
cumstances.
Lieutenant Commander Yeandle said that the guards
men are forced to go to sea in 75-foot boats, pitched and
tossed by the waves, making sleep difficult and the serv
ing of hot meals almost impossible. Night after night
they keep their vigils, stung by chilling winds and spray,
suffering untold discomforts and hardships.
Then, upon return to shore for a brief rest, they are
greeted with insults and epithets such as “booze gob” and
“nun navy man” by people on shore who are not in sym
pathy with enforcement. He also asserted that families
of guardsmen are insulted and ostracized by their neigh
bors.
In the face of these hardships and indignities, suffer
ed for the sake of earning the small government wage
they receive, it was declared to be not surprising that
some should be tempted by the rum-runner’s gold.
Of course, the hardships of the guardsmen do not ex
cuse disloyalty to duty. But, with conditions as described
by Lieut. Comm. Yeandle, it is going to be extremely dif
ficult to maintain the morale, of this oldest branch of our
military service, whose brilliant record in the past has
filled many glorious pages.
LET’S DECLARE WAR!
Static, the curse of radio, comes for the most part
from the peninsula of Yucatan, in Mexico, according to
the bureau'of standards at Washington. Ha, ha! Now
that we have discovered the identity of the victim, we
shall trail him to his lair. We demand, in the name of
anguished humanity, that the United States government
write another note to the Mexican government calling at
tention^ this terrible state of affairs. The Monroe Doc
trine gives to us the power of abating nuisances in the
Western Hemisphere. Mexico is now harboring such a
nuisance, much to the discomfiture of our fireside circles
in the evenings. So we demand a note, a strong note, a
note breathing fire and brimstone. Mexico may flout our
ownership of oil wells, its bandits may kill our citizens its
diplomats may answer us in insulting tones. But we must
have it understood that all these little pleasantries do not
give our sister republic to the south of us the right to
sprinkle our radio horns full of static. To much is too
much. And it is just as well that Mexico be compelled to
realize this now.
A Kentucky bootlegger has been arrested for trans
porting liquor in a hearse. This is all wrong. The vehi
de should be reserved for those who drink the liquor.
FOUR GREAT FEARS
COUNT'EM
Four great fears accompany yon from
your home to your work and remain
with you throughout the day—
1* The fear of your family being
left unprovided for;
2. The fear of a penniless old ago
for yourself;
3. The fear of loss of income from
total or partial disablement;
4. The fear of losing what yon
have accumulated.
Would it be worth anything to you to have these
fears eliminated from your life—to know that you
were shielded by a complete circle of protection?
A line to us will bring you full details without com*
mitting you to any action.

Bristol Bay Watched
With Eager Importance
The U. S. Government Orphanage at
this place, was founded to meet a sit
uation perhaps more peculiar than
was ever heard of before, except in
fiction. In 1919, the epidemic of flu
wiped out ten villages of Bristol Bay,
in some places not leaving a single
man or woman. Practically every na
tive above the age of puberty who was
in the village at the time, was taken
away. But the strange part is that
nearly every child below the age of
puberty survived. These children were
gathered up and taken care of by the
Cannery companies until fall, when
they were taken to Dillingham, where !
the Bureau of Education took care of
them the best they could until build
ings could be erected. Here the Bu
reau of Education has a school of more
than one hundred Aleut Indians, free
and unhampered from influences of
parents or tribal relations, with a free
hand to see what civilization and edu
cation will do for the Aleut Indians.
The result is watched with eager im
portance.
