had pushed the Maritime Commission
program along so energetically for
two years that we are now in second
place among maritime powers, and
have stronger merchant marine to-
day than at any time since clipper
ship days. And though fewer keels were
laid in 1910 than in 1899; new ships are
still sliding down the ways at about
the rate of one week
But the Admiral knew that even a
merchant marine with first-class ships
is still weak if it has second-class men.
And through the years, our seagoing
personnel has deteriorated along with
the ships. The old ships offered few at
fractions to men accustomed to good
standard of living ashore. The new
mission-designed ships have
changed all that. The old "fo'c'sle"
is no more. The crews quarters, amid
ships instead of in the forward end,
are roomy and convenient, well venti-
lated, with running water and modern
toilet facilities.
The Admiral felt that an even big
ger reason, however. for the decline
of the merchant-marine personnel
was lack of training A modern ship
is highly complicated mechanism,
requiring a tremendous range of skills
in its operation. And yet we were the
only maritime nation that had never
undertaken to train our merchant
marine - until a training program
was put into effect by the Commission
two years ago.
Recently visited one of the train
ing stations which the Coast Guard

assured them differently. The signals,
he told them. said: "You are in the
middle of mine field. Stop engines.
Will send guide"
That sailor knew his job. He had
been trained at Hoffman Island. And
wherever American merchantmen sail
the seas today, there are sailors -
more and more of them every month
who know their jobs. From the
bottom up. our merchant marine is
being rebuilt.
In recent months a gunnery school
has been set up at Hoffman Island;
qualified seamen who sign up for it
are taught to handle the sort of guns
that would be mounted on merchant
men in case of war. This is optional,
but many enroll for it. Come what
may, they want to know their jobs.
Better men, better ships. That is
Admiral Lands goal for peace or war.
Already, as result of the merchant
shipbuilding program, shipyards on
the east coast, the Gulf and the west
coast are humming - shipyards that
were comatose or completely non
existent a few years ago.
They we're ready when the Navy
wanted to build ships, and they will
be ready. when the emergency ends.
to 60 on building merchant ships.
For if the Admiral has his way, we'll
never stop. Here is the way he figures
it: 1--WE need at least a thousand
good ships. Fifty ships year multi
Piled by twenty years is thousand.
But the legal life of a ship is only
twenty years. Therefore, we are en-
gagged on a program of fifty ships a
year forever"

That is why its agents are gwen contInu-

Home Office experts.
But the insurance program that fits your

row. Changes in your income, or in your
family obligations. make it advisable for
YOU to review your life insurance program
from time to time
Suppose, for example. policyholder gets
married, or there is birth in policyhold-
er's family Each may call for change of

the addition of new policies
Or again, policyholder gets an increase
in salary This may mean that he should
