Salvage Officer
Guest Speaker
Balfour J. "Bob” Logan, for
merly district salvage officer for
the Aleutian area, was the guest
speaker at the Rotary luncheon
Tuesday at the VFW club.
Mr. Logan traced the history
of salvage from the early efforts
of Dutch seamen to present day
methods, and told of diving
methods and experiences
Speaking of this area he said
waters were found to be stratified
in temperature layers Men would
complain of the cold at a 30 ft.
depth, but 10 feet farther down
the water would be warmer. He
said his men had disproved the
old theory that a man can last
only 20 minutes in local waters,
as members of navy salvage
crews bad worked as much as 12
hours in winter operations with
no ill effects.
The waters in the area are
surprisingly warm in 'some local*
ities, he said. In some bays men
could warm their hands on rocks
from the bottom. Some bays
have a marine growth more like
Catalina island, he stated, with
small sponges and "ferns” and
[huge snails in evidenot.
Between Three Brothers Rocks
and the narrowest point of the
Ouz nkie channel divers found
an oystei bed with large, edible
oysters. The oysters were pearl
bearing, but the pearls were tiny
and of no commeri^al value
Near Sitka aDd off the south
end of Chirikof island he re
ported the presence of black aba
lone in large quantities Also off
the south end of Chirikof he re
ported catches of albacore tuna
were made. On a trip last July
[he saw more tuna in the same
area, he said.
Guests at the luncheon includ
ed Pie Watson, A. J Else, Bill
Bailey and Capt. Silvius Cazze.
President James Martz an
nounced that he and secretary
Jack Hinckel will leave next
week for a Notary convention at
Fairbanks.

Wonderful! Marvelous!
A pen you can Write your name with!
(and then see what happens.1)
Here Is the miracle pen to end all mir
acle pens!
It won’t write under water. It won't
make 28 carbons. But, brother—that's
smalltime stuff ! Look what it can do!
It can help send your children through
college. It can help buy you a home.
It can help you retire — or help send
you around the world!
How does it do all this?
Simple! You just use it once to sign
your name on the application form that
will put you on the Payroll Savings
Plan. Or on the new Bond-a-Month
Plan at the bank where you have your
checking account.
Then—automatically, regularly—
your banker or employer will buy U. S.
Savings Bonds for you.
Isn’t that a wonderful trick for a pen
to do?
Nothing more for you to do to buy
Bonds except watch them pile up and
collect that smooth, velvety interest—
25% in ten years!
So grasp this marvel of science
firmly in your hand and sign up for
the Payroll Savings Plan or Bond-a
Month Plan today.
It’s the easiest, surest way there is
to save the money you need for the
things you want.
Save the easy; automatic way-with US'. Savings Bonds
