SERVICE MEN
SHOW INTEREST
IN EDUCATION
HEADQUARTERS ALASKAN
DEPARTMENT — Service men
in Alaska, particularly those sta
tioned on the Aleutian Islands,
are showing exceptional interest
in furthering their education, as
indicated by participation in the
educational program recently
started in the territory by the U.
S. Armed Forces Institute.
“Applications for enrollment
and inquiries concerning the pro
gram have far exceeded the num
ber we had anticipated,” said Maj.
George L. Hall, commandant of
the Alaska Branch of the Insti
tute. Sufficient numbers have
enrolled to justify group classes in
several subjects.
Initial enrollments have dis
closed several interesting facts.
Mathematics, notoriously unpop
ular with many high school stu
dents, is definitely the most popu
lar field with the service men,
and this goes for algebra, geom
etry and trigonometry as well as
bookkeeping and accounting.
In the language field, Russian
is number one in popularity where
French and Spanish had headed
the field in America for decades.

This probably can be attributed
in part to the proximity of Alas
ka to Russia, Major Hall said.
Japanese also ranks high among
the language courses in demand.
The enthusiastic reception re
ceived by the program on the
Aleutian chain, noticeably greater
than that from posts on the Alas
kan mainland, is probably due to
the less inviting recreational pur
suits offered by the islands, Ma
jor Hall said.
The Army post on bleak Um
nak Island is leading all Alas
kan posts in the percentage of
soldier participants. Group class
es have been started there in a
number of subjects. A complete
survey of all units was conducted
there to determine what courses
were in biggest demand, and all
soldiers were familiarized with
details of the program. Capt.
Russell J. Darling is the post edu
cation officer there.
The supply of teachers is ample,
with the exception of Russian
language instructors. Many sol
diers who were teachers in civil
ian life, some of them holding
Ph.D. degrees, have offered tjjpir
services for off-duty hours.
Ensign Howard L. Bateson,
navy educational services officer,
has been assigned to the Alaska
Branch of the Institute as assist
ant commandant. The Institute
is a joint Army-Navy undertak
ing.

CRASH BOATS
CREWS WILL
n?Y ANYTHING
By CPL. TOM LOVE
(lllh AAF Correspondent)
HEADQUARTERS. 11th AAF
SERVICE COMMAND — The
crews of the 11th AAF’s ‘‘crash
boats” which operate in the
treacherous currents of the Aleu
tians will try anything—in any
kind of a storm—it was shown in
a report recently received from
one of the boa's. The title of the
report was ‘‘Mission Unsuccess
ful!”
The venture was described to
the commanding officers of the
11th AAF’s Emergency Rescue
Boat Squadron. Maj. G. R. Don
ley, by Tech. Sgt. Roy E. Ham
mond of Anchorage, Alaska, who
said that although most of his
crew were hardy Alaskans with
long experience in these most dif
ficult waters in the world, they
couldn’t make it to a lonely out
post to pick up a critically ill
soldier and return him to an Aleu
tian base hospital.
The crew made three tries to
get the sick soldier- on board the
rescue vessel. Thrte Alaskans.
Staff Sgt. Willard C. Nadeau of
Kodiak, Staff Sgt. Frank Thorson
of Naknek anti Pvt. Charles E.
Hanson of Squaw Harbor volun
teered to take a small dory in
through the pounding surf with
the medical officer, who arrived
safely, if a little wet, and render
ed emergency aid.
During two succeeding days of
ferocious weather, they made re
peated efforts to get the patient
and the medical officer back to
the vessel. Twice the fiendish
surf whipped the dory end over
end, throwing patient, medical of
ficer and crew in all directions.

Finally) when the patient re
fused to try again, the medical
officer left medicine and instruc
tions, explaining they would be
back when the seas quieted down,
if they ever did
"And that s the reason I wrote
‘Mission Unsuccessful.’ ” Sgt,
Hammond concluded.
The Emergency Boat Squad
ron which operates along 3000
miles of shoreline from Southeast
ern Alaska to Attu, was original
ly a quartermaster unit, trained
by the Coast Guard, and is now
staffed by AAF personnel and un
der the command of the 11th AAF
Service Command.
Though little-publicized this
squadron has more than paid its
way during the past year by pull
ing several two-motored planes
out of the North Pacific and Ber
ing Sea. Also during the period,
they have saved several lives out
right and assisted over a hundred
other emergency cases.
Tell them you saw it in The
Nugget.
