Man Who Has
Saved SIS Lives

SPURN HEAD, England. June
80 tUP) - This peninsula is i'm
portant for two reasons. It's the
bleakest strip Of sand this side of
Fire Island, New York. 1t is also
the home of Robert Cross, Eng
lands No. / iifesaver.
s. The less said about the peninsula
the better. But about a 67-year-
old man who looks so and handles
a boat as if he were 80, you can't
say enough. Particularly when he
merely says IT'S NE Job" when
asked about the SIS men he has
saved from death in the dangerous
waters off this point.
Two hundred and thirty of those
SIS have been rescued during the
past two years, which automatlcal-
ly makes him the foremost saver
of lives in this war. Which is pre-.
cisely why he has been awarded,
since war began back in September
1899, the George Medal, the Bar
TO go with that George Medal and
the Gold Medal OF the Life Boat
Association-which is the same as
getting the Victoria Cross in the
Army or Navy or Air Force.

MAKES LIES WORK
OF LIFESAyING

And. as coXswain and head man
OF he boat which always remains
ready on the sands alongside his
small five-room brick house, other
rescues, made during the years
which stretch back to before the
last war and which total 2S5, have
brought him in half dozen other
bronze and silver medals too.
These. plus the scrolls and testl-
monials which line his little study
overlooking the cold, murky waters
of the North Sea, give you the
idea that nothing interests Robert
Cross more than saving somebody
from watery death.
The other six men who man
the boat when there is a vessel
sinking fast off Spurn Head don't
however, have this same rever-
ence for the job of saving lives
that Robert Cross does. 1T is" they
say, "lousy-this here going to sea
off Spurn Head is a boat"
For not only is the water made
freacherous by hundreds of sand
bars which have a habit of rising
aid falling and shifting with the
tides. but the mines which Ger
man airplapes have habit of
sowing up and down this coast
make the task doubly dangerous.
Many the time has the lifeboat of
Robert Cross and his crew of six
put TO sea but arrived too late be-
cause the raft on which a fishing
crew were sitting happened to
strike a floating mine.

'22ND SUB TO BE
 LAUNCHED AT YARD

New London, Conn, Aug. 21.- UP-The submarine Cato slid down the ways at the Electric Boat O., today and was the 22nd sub to be launched at the company yards since 1883.
 Sponsoring the new craft was Mrs. Louise Van H. Ingersoll, wife of Rear Admiral Royal E. Ingersoll, assistant chief of naval operations. The launching ceremony was cut to bare essentials because of the com pany,s defense speed-up program.
 The Cato, slightly more than 300 feet long long, required nearly a year to build. It cost about $3.000,- 900. It was launched on a new type of cradle, which company officials said was more maneuverable and could be reassembled faster after it had been freed of the hull.
 Ten other submarines were on the ways, with the Greenling scheduled for the nest launching Sept. 20.

 From historic Bunker Hill which once echoed to the sound om mus ket shots, now comes the staccato tap of military-typ codes and the chatter of wireless signals. For the Bunker Hill and affiliated boys clubs are showing, in 1941, the same spunk when it comes to National Defense as the boys of 1775.
 There's nothing amateurish in the way these knee pants boys are go- ing about their jobs in the Bunker Hill club, which faces the rusty cannons guarding" the hilltopS, and its two brother clubs in South Boston and Roxbury.

 Arthur T. Burger is executive di- rector of the Bunker Hill and af- filiate, clubs, which are members of. the Boys Clubs of America.
 LEARN JOB THEY'RE
 BEST FITTED FOR
 He says. "Every boy from four, teen years up is going to be called upon to do something in this na- tional emergency. By experience in the club room these boyse can learn what sort of job they're best fitted to do. Army and navy officials are interested in our work-can help ils to pick out the most promising boys for future service"
 MT. Burger believes, too, that the training and discipline will stand these boys in good stead for peace as well as war Perhaps if they've found a niche for themselves when the war is over, they'll stave off the depression which is sure to follow"
 At any rate, the defense clubs are running to capacity, and the Bunker Hill boys are getting their codes down pat. And not to be oudtone by them, the Bunker Hill girls are busy in Red Cross and canteen acc. tivities. They'll be right there with the first aid if the young signal corps flashes them the sign.
