Living up to their watchword “Always ready,” more than 16,000 trained Guardsmen, a t strategic posts fringing the shores and in craft at sea and aloft, make extensive use of on Long Island, and With the scores of coastal stations and observation posts extending all the way from New London to the southernmost tip oi Delaware. Connected With the nation wide telephone and teletype systemic the Guardsmen also transmit and re ceive reports to and from all parts of the country* On more than 9,750 occasions in one year, the Coast Guard went to the as © International N e w s Photo Coast Guard in action: (top) During parade time at their Academy, New London, where officers are trained; (iower right) Lifeboat crew of (lower left) Rescue by breeches buoy. cutter at oars; radio telephones. Many of the smaller as well as larger vessels now use these instruments to transmit infor mation and orders. In the New York District of the ser vice, patrolling some 500 miles of the busiest coastline, including Long Island, a fleet of thirty “picket boats,” assigned to lifesaving and other duties near shore, were recently equipped with this two-way means of voice com munication. Previously these boats could receive radio messages but not transmit them. For years nearly all of the larger vessels of the nation’s coastal fleet have been equipped with complete radio telephone and wireless facilities by which they may be 'summoned to or from points even hundreds of miles at sea. Coast Guard pilots, who oper ate a fleet of more than 50 airplanes in their ceaseless watch over the waters, are able to receive telephoned instructions during flights as well as when at ground stations. At the Coast Guard’s station at Floyd Bennett Field, Long Island, eight of these planes are on duty. In the New York District the Coast Guard has a force of 3,750 men, many of them at the busiest posts where commercial and private craft are nu merous, and fishing and bathing activi ties extensive. From headquarters in the Custom House in New York City, officials using telephones, teletype and other means o\ communication keep in close touch with the main radio com- sistance of endangered vessels, carry ing cargoes valued at more than $63,000,000. From shipwrecks and other places of peril, these “good Samari tans of the sea” rescued and possibly saved the lives of 10,615 persons. Meanwhile the Guard cared for 412 Other persons in distress, providing medical aid for many of them. It boarded and checked on 32,655 vessels, and removed or destroyed 266 dere licts and other obstructions to naviga- The Coast Guard’s greatest service, however, is in preventing disasters. Since July, 1939, the Guard has been combined with the Lighthouse Service, and therefore looks after extensive navigation facilities, guiding numerous vessels through waterways. It also now provides weather reports to craft and to the Government weather bu reaus in charting the approach of storms at sea. Guardsmen chart the movement of icebergs far at sea and warn naviga tors against them. They help to clear icebound bays and rivers. They pro tect the fishing grounds of Alaska and in other waters. At present they are also taking part in the nation’s neu trality patrol, andi among their many activities patrol the waters for hun dreds of regattas and marine parades staged each year.
