or R. S. Patton states that the
high concept of fidelity and in
tegrity adopted as the initial stand
ard for it work has since been
scrupulously adhered to through
all vicissitudes. It embodies a vis
ion of useful service which remains
responsive to the changing needs
of the navigator and the engineer.
The report likens the Coast and
Geodetic Survey to a comprehen-:
sive manufacturing establishment.
Its surveying parties go out into
the field and gather the raw ma
terials. Those raw materials are
shipped to Washington, D. C.,
where the central plant is located.
In this plant the materials are
| worked over and from them are
i derived certain fnial products in
forms suitable for public use. These
products invariably take the form
| of publications, and the final and
j culminating step in the process is
the quantity production. All nau
tical charts and airway maps are
produced in its own printing plant.
Coast Pilots and other information
relating to nautical charts, tidal
and current surveys and data, geo
detic control surveys in the inter
ior, investigations relating to ter
restrial magnetism and seimology,
and other data which this public
service bureau prepares, are all
printed at the Government Printing
Office.
i It is stated that hydrographic
i surveys in Alaska are progressing
| at a moderate but satisfactory rate
! with the three vessels working in
! that area.
The party of the ship Surveyor
continued surveys along the coast
of Kodiak Island. Work was ex
tended during the 1930 season from
Cape Ikolik southward through Sit
! kinak Strait and included a sur
vey of Olga Bay. Combined with
the previous season’s work, this
completed the survey of Alitak Bay
and tributaries. During the pres
ent season, surveys are being ex
tended eastward along the south
coast of the island toward Sitka
lidak Strait. These will include the
western approaches of that strait
as well as the eastern approaches
to Sitkinak Strait. The results of
last season’s work will be shown on
chart No. 8537, now under con
struction.
The Discoverer party continued
surveys along the south coast of
Kenai Peninsula, westward from
Aialik Bay. These were extended
i offshore to the 100-fathom curve
1 and as far west as Port Dick. They
| included a detailed survey of that
| bay, as well as of Nuka Island Pass,
i The results of the work are now
| being applied to chart No. 8530,
| which area has now been entirely
• surveyed. During the present sea
i son, this party is employed in ex
I. tending the surveys southwestward
. across the passages between the
i Kenai Peninsula and Afognak Ls
J land. Detailed surveys will be made
| of Windy Bay, the area around the

WHEN WINTER COMES
1 IS YOUR house packed to the eaves with treraend
ous stores of flour . . . meat . . . clothing . . . and
• other supplies to carry you through the long winter?
Not very likely!
But if not, won’t you—like the butterfly that
j played all summer without a thought of the cold
j days to come—won’t you be in danger of facing
|j famine, months before spring comes around again?
; Certainly not!
When wintry winds are blowing their coldest,
| and the storm is wailing like forgotten banshees on
| the roof-top, the chances are you may be eating juicy
■ strawberries from Costa Rica and fresh asparagus
■ from Florida. For the day of storing up supplies
| against the barrenness of winter has gone forever.
1 It has passed when America ceased to be a lot o£
J scattered communities, and became a nation united
\ by swift line of transportation.
As you read the advertisements telling you just
! what the stores contain for you, fresh to your order,
j remember that here are the inexhautible store
■ rooms of today . . . storerooms that have banished
j forever the anxieties that went with the snows of
j yesteryear.
