Young Man, You're Being
Since tile clays of Benjamin Franklin, who organized a
bucket brigade, men have banded together for their own
protection against fire.
Things haven't changed, basicallyl a great deal since
Ben's time. Of course we don't grab a leather bucket and
rush off to save the house or business of friend and neigh-
bor as did Ben's bucket brigadeirs, but the only real differ-
ence is the tools we work with.
We still rush off to save those homes and
buildings, in powerful, shiny, big trucks loaded
with hose, ladders, pumps, masks, protective cloth-
ing, and dozens of modern accessories which make
our ability to control fire far superior to Ben's
buckets.
But we still use one of Ben's basics---the volunteer fire-
man. At least in the small community and rural district we
do. It's a matter of economics.
That's why we hope there will be a large, enthusiastic
response tonight from the young men of Shelton to Fire
Chief Allan, Nevitt's call for new volunteer firemen for the
Shelton fire deI)artment.
Chief Nevitt, nobly aided by the Shelton Jaycees, has
called a meeting in the Jaycee Hall at the airport at 7:30
tonight to explain the need for additional volunteer firemen
and to point out the benefits and pleasures to be derived
from this service to our community.
At the present time the fire department is attempting
to operate with only about half the number of active, re-
liable volunteer firemen it needs for an effective fire-fight-
ing force.
Will you be there, young man?
It's Little Bit Extra
Make it a habit to work. Work is the price of success.
The things you do that you don't have to do are what make
you rise above the crowd.
There are three kinds of workers:
1---Those who fall short of doing successfully the job
they are told to do. These are unhappy, frustrated people
who blame everyone but themselves for their h)t in life.
They are more to be pitied than condemned.
2--Those who do just the job they are told to do. These
are the "] don't care group". They care only to exist.
3---Those who recognize the job without being told to
do it. laving is a joy to these people. These aro the peo-
ple of enthusiasm, of creativeness. They contr]bttte to our
way of living and truly rise above the crowd, ar-

Draft Cards & Zippo Lighters
Those Buddhist monks in Vietnam, the fellows with the
gasoline cans who used to keep turning up in the newspa-
pers, may have been a little on the bizarre side, but you had
to hand it to ttlem for courage.
When they got mad at their government, they com-
plained by calling in the photographers and setting hem-
selves afire.
By comparison, their American equivalents seem pretty
timid.
These are the fellows with the beards and
sandals who don't want to go off to boot camp.
No gasoline for those boys. When they feel heroic,
they call in the photographers and then set fire to
their draft cards.
The card-burners are getting a lot more publicity than
they merit. ,
Our country, because it places a lot of virtue on th;e
quality of individual freedom, is not a particularly comfort,-
able place for neurotics. Such people get themselves into
fewer problems when a heavy-handed government keeps
them under control, and the stresses of a free society are
tough on them. As a result, America probably has more
than its share of active screwballs.
Garden-variety zanies seldom rate space in newspapers.
But when they get themselves involved in questions of na-
tional policy, like the youths with their draft cards and Zip-
po lighters, they suddenly make news. (Kitsap County
Herald).

pated in a rescue escort mission
at sea Oct. 13 and again Oct. 16,
while enroute to New York City
from oceanographic research and
ice operations in the Arctic, aboard
the Coast Guard Cutter Northwind.
Oct. 13, the Swedish freighter
"Orion", sailing from Stockholm to
Great Lakes, reported she had a
cracked main deck some 400 miles
off the southern coast of Ireland,
and called for assistance.
In response, the Search and Res-
cue Control Center on the staff of
the Commander, Coast Guard Eas-
tern Area, in New York City di-
verted the Northwind to aid the
Orion.
After standing by the freighter
throughout the night of the 13th,
Northwind resumed her trip to
New York after the Orion's master
radioed that no assistance would
be required.
Oct. 16, the Orion again radioed
for help. This time the freighter
was near the Coast Guard Cutter
Escanaba, patrolling ocean station
"Charlie" in the North Atlantic.
New York sent the Escanaba to
the Orion's aid, and again deploy-
ed the Northwind back to the
freighter. The Escanaba stood by
the Orion until the Northw'ind ar-
rived on the scene.
Northwind escorted the Orion in-
to Cape Race, Newfoundland for
repairs and again resumed her
trip to New York.
