AIRPLANES FOR COAST GUARD
About one y*»ar ago The Gateway pointed out the ad
vantage of airplanes as an aid to the Coast Guard in
spotting ships in distress and locating small craft at the
mercy of the waves.
A recent edition of the Seattle Sunday Times carried
a quarter-page article announcing that plans are under
consideration for the establishment of Coast Guard air
craft bases in Washington, Oregon, California and Alas
ka. Sponsoring the auxiliary service is S. V. Parker, com
mander of the Coa^t Guard cutter Northland, who has
just returned from the Arctic. During the war Comman
der Parker was in charge of the Rockaway naval air sta
tion on Long Island. He was executive officer on the Cut
ter Bear in 1921-23.
There is no point better situated for this auxiliary
service than Seward, being almost equi-distant from the
Gulf of Alaska and the Aleutians. Airships operating out
of this airport could cover an area with a few hours that
would require aays to cover with a cutter. They could
make regular patrols or answer emergency calls when
some craft was overdue, determine its position and plight,
and if needs be, raid weather permits, land and deliver
food and supplies, or buoy and drop them, and thus save
life until the cutter could effect a rescue.
PERE MARQUETTE
ary—priest and hero—Pere Marquette was one of the
great pioneers who laid the foundation of America.
Legend has pair tea him as a romantic figure, belov
heroic spirit that overcomes obstacles—a Jesuit priest
who gained the confidence of the Indians—a great mis
sionary. preaching not only religion, but wisdom and un
derstanding.
Perhaps the peak of his thrilling story is reached in
the account of Marquette and Joliet’s expedition on the
Mississippi in tw o fragile birch bark canoes, facing death,
with nothing to guide them but courage and wll.
Since California wishes to have the electric chair
abolished, hanging ditto, and the march to the lethal
chamber scrapped, the time seems near when the racket
eer who scatters an honorable citizen’s brains over the
landscape wall, like the Romans, be invited to a banquet,
accompanied by his moll, given a champagne supper and
allowed to open ills veins.
A Massachusetts town is boasting about a woman I
who caught a fish which had swallowed a fish. An An
chorage mother caught the family punk who swallowed
a dime which contamed two nickels which contained ten
pennies.
Owing to the fact that farm produce is in such de
mand by the universities in payment of tuition, ham ac
