CELEBRATED FRIDAY
BY SOROPTIMISTS
First release in Juneau of anni
versary messages received by the1
Commandant of the Coast Guard
and forwarded to Coast Guard sta
tions throughout the country was
made yesterday at the meeting of
the Soroptimists at their luncheon
at the Baranof.
The telegram, forwarded to Ju
neau, and read to the club by Lt.
Comdr. Elvin C. Hawley, speaker
at the meeting Friday, follows:
"The Commandant has received
anniversary messages which are
quoted in part as follows: from the
Secretary of the Treasury, ‘As the
United States Coast Guard marks
its 160th anniversary on August 4,
I desire to extend to all personnel
my warm congratulations. In its
primary peacetime mission of pro
tecting life and property at sea and
in its many additional responsibil
ities including preparedness for
military duty the Coast Guard has
completed another year of highly
efficient service, John W. Snyder’.
"From the Undersecretary of the
Treasury, 'It gives me pleasure to
greet all in the United States Coast
Guard and wish them well on the
occasion of Coast Guard Day, Aug
ust 4. Signed, E. H. Foley, Jr’.”
From the Commandant of the
Coast Guard to all Coast Guard sta
tions the message of congratula
tions was:
"The United States Coast Guard
adds another year of achievement
to the official record an ever grow
ing accounting which began 160
years ago. This anniversary mark
ing the end of another decade of
military and humanitarian service
gives each of us the opportunity to
pay homage to the men of the Coast
Guard who have contributed so
much in both war and peace. It also
is the time to take stock in our
own selves. To review the lessons
learned and to resolve that we shall
continue to accomplish our assigned
missions in the best traditions of i
the service. I extend greetings and
best wishes to every member of the
Coast Guard on this memorable
occasion."
Soroptimists, pleased with their
opportunity to have a part in the
celebration of the Coast Guard’s
anniversary, were addressed by
Comdr. Hawley who told about the
Coast Guard’s early establishment,
its part in the development of
Alaska. From the time of Alaska’s
purchase in 1867 when the Bering
Sea Patrol was established to en
force international sealing and fish
ing agreements, until today, with its
service greatly increased and its
motto, "Semper Paratus” meaning
always ready, the Coast Guard story
was told by Comdr. Hawley.
Miss Bernice Morgan presided at
the Soroptimists meeting Friday.
Program chairman was Mrs. Doro
thy Novatney. Miss Frances Paul
led the group in singing, "America”
and followed with two solos. She
was accompanied by Mrs. Betty
Hammond.
Table decorations were candles
and flowers in Coast Guard colors,
furnished by Mrs. Edna Heaton
Loman.
Guests at the meeting were Mrs.
Ed Sweeney, Miss Sue Kennedy and
Miss Harriet Penwell.
ACORNS TAKE TWO
GAMES; PLAY INTO
MORNING HOURS
(By the Associated Press)
They played baseball 'til cockcrow
at Portland, Ore., this morning, with
Oakland’s Acorns taking both ends
of a double header and increasing
their Pacific Coast League lead to [
9'i games. \
The scores were 9 to 5 and 4 to 1
in a marathon night.
Hostilities wound up about 1 a.m.
with the second game only six in
nings along. Special permission was
given to start the twin bill an hour
later than usual and extend the
regular midnight curfew the same
.ength of time. In the Vaughn i
Street Park, the late evening sun1
blinded outfielders too badly in
games beginning at 7 p.m„ usual
time for doubleheaders to get under
way.
The opener was scheduled for
seven innings. It went the full nine
before the Oaks finally wrapped it
up with two four-run rallies.
Second place Hollywood, mean
while, slipped a notch and a half
by dropping a 6 to 5 verdict at Se
attle. Bud Sheely's pinch single
capped a four-run uprising in the
eighth and chased in what turned
out to be the winning run.
San Francisco also edged third
place San Diego by a 6 to 5 count.
Neill Sheridan bagged a pair of
home runs in behalf of the Seals.
And at Los Angeles, where the cir
cuit’s have-not clubs are embroiled,
Hefty Max Surkont chucked his 16th
triumph of the season as Sacra
mento laced the Angels, 8 to 5.
Besides losing to San Francisco,
San Diego also suffered in other
ways. Milt Nielsen, long hitting
Padre outfielder, sprained his
1 ankle sliding into second base and j
i may spend the next couple of weeks
on the bench.
