headquarters feels confident it can
carry out its increased responsible
ties.
But what of the 20-foot sailboat
and its owner who are enrolled in
a flotilla? 1t is a craft hardly Ca
pable Of caring for minimum Of
four men in extended patrol duties.
Washington has one such flotilla
which numbers only these little
craft. 1t is, in fact, one of the few
all-sail flotillas in the United States.
The Coast Guard has the answer
to that one, too. Obviously the boats
are of little strategic value to the
Government. But not so the ship

many an owner of these little wind
TANNERS are expected to come the
1920 enlisted men and the 226 war
rant and commissioned officers
needed by the Guard to man its
cutters and converted yachts.
How does a boat owner join the
auxiliary? You must be the owner,
in whole or part, of any boat over 16
feet, regardless of its power or sail
plan. Upon your examination by a
board of auxiliary officials and the
passage of an elementary seaman
ship test, the boat owner is eligible
for membership in the f1otilla near
est his home port. His boat, too,

must be inspected and checked for
soundness and proper equipment.
The new member is now ready for
enrolment in correspondence courses
offered by the Coast Guard Institute
of New London, Conn.
Seeks Navigator Post.
With fellow members, he studies
for his first promotion, that of navi-
gator. This rank will qualify him
to command small vessels on in
shore patrol duty. The auxiliary
member, enrolling in the Reserve,
must pass this navigator test be-
fore he is accepted. Successive
ranks are senior navigator, which
qualities him for command of off,
shore patrol boats, and master navi-
gator, received only after so hours
| experience as Junior officer OF
Coast Guard cutter at sea.
The boatman will have delved into
such subjects as celestial naviga-
ton, Coast Guard personnel man
agement, meteorology, ordnance and
gunnery.
If you do not own a. boat but
have had some sea experience, the
Coast Guard might be interested in
your applying for rating in the Re-
serve. Make application to the
commandant in your Coast Guard
district-they roughly correspond to
naval districts. You will have to
be a male citizen of the United
| States or Territories and possess
sions, excepting the Philippines, and
be between II and "a years old. In
addition to measuring up to certain
moral and physical standards, the
candidate must obligate himself to
serve for active duty in time of war
or during any period of national
emergency declared by the President
to exist.

Yachtsmen Play Defense Role
Owners Figure in Plans for Protection Members of
Recently Established Coast Guard Reserve

small boat owners, representing
more than $500 assorted craft in
ITO flotillas.
The 1941 act goes a step further,
and, while changing the name of
the old Reserve to Auxiliary and
continuing its functions, creates a
militant reserve closely patterned
after the Naval Reserve. A boat
man enlisting in the new Reserve
pledges to serve the country for a
three-year period. He may receive
ranks up through lieutenant COM
mander, depending on his age and
sea experience, and will receive full
pay and allowances of regular Coast
Guard warrant or commissioned
officers.
During the months between pas
sage of the 1889 and 1941 acts,
Auxiliary members enrolled in cor
respondence courses of the Coast
Guard Institute, and many of them
are now qualified and seasoned
navigators or seamen. 1t is from
this group that officials expect to
receive many officers to man Coast
Guard cutters now bristling with as
many as Is guns apiece.
But there are other important
roles yachtsmen will play in the
months to come. The act calls for
a temporary membership to be re-
cruited from among owners with
craft large enough to accommodate
four men for extended cruising.
These Auxiliary members and their
boats will be commissioned and re-
main in the Reserve as long as the
Government has use of their boats.
Some owners Of larger boats al
ready have volunteered for this duty,
and Guard district commanders are
studying the applications for spe-
cif1c needs of each region.
AS regular Coast Guard vessels
work in closer cooperation with the
Navy on sea duty, it is obvious that
additional boats will be needed to
assume inland patrol duties, guard
ing vital sea ports and industrial
centers along our coasts.
The simultaneous announcement
from the White House and Prime
Minister Churchill in London this
week of the release to Great Britain
of 10 Coast Guard cutters, presum-
ably of the Lakes class, brings home
the growing need for American
yachts to fill this gap. The service
has contracted for the construction
of additional small cutters, but the
first of these is not expected to be
completed for several months.
Admiral Waesche clearly pictured

, the situation facing these areas
when he appeared before Senate
subcommittee considering the new
act last January.
There are neither boats nor boat
equipment available adequately to
guard the important locks and dams
| on the Tennessee Valley Authority
Lake, he gave as an example. Army
engineers are responsible for pa
trolling the locks but they lack the
authority for their protection from
the water side, Admiral Waesche
said, adding that similar conditions
exist on the Kill Van Kull, off
Staten Island, N. Y, and.many other
centers vital to our national de-
fense
Admiral Waesche summed up the
Governments plans when he told
committee members: I'VE need the
boats in those areas. The owners
know their boats, and they know
the waters they are cruising in An
owner may not be able to pass the
physical examinations, but We can
still use him"
Right in our own back yard are
areas which, in the time OF war,
can be listed as military objectives
as well as material for saboteurs.
Here in the District are the new
National Airport, the Naval Air Sta
ton, Boiling Field, the Naval Lab
oratory and Magazine at Bellevue,
the railroad bridge leading into the
city from the South and the High
way, Memorial and Key Bridges.
On down the Potomac River are
the naval torpedo plant at Alex
andria, Fort Belvoir Pontoon School
! fronting Gunston Cove, Quantico
Marine base, naval snokelesS powder
factory at Indian Head, the Nor
| gantown Bridge and the naval
proving ground at Dahlgren.
Adequately Guarded.
Will these centerS so vital to our
defense be adequately guarded?
Insofar as the Coast Guards re-
sponsibilities are concerned, officials
say yes, and Washington's growing
Coast Guard Auxiliary hotillas add
their affirmative voice.
The five fully organized f1otillas
here total approximately 100 boat
owners, yachtsmen whose craft
range from 16-foot sailboats to a
90-foot sea-going yacht. Virtually
all have expressed their willingness
to serve in some fashion in the
present emergency. Some of the
larger craft, those with required ac-
commodations, without question will
be flying the Coast Guard flag on

YachtSmen of America, in the
midst of the fitting-out season, are
ready for any service this country
asks of them-even another Dun
kerque.
Here and at every city or village
bordering on some body Of water,
boat owners face the coming season
with more than just plans for sum-
mer cruises or the club rendezvous
on their minds. The exploits OF
fellow. yachtsmen in England who
played a historic role in the evac-
uation of troops from Dunkerque
last spring are still fresh in their
memories.
Fitting-out time finds boatmen
studying deck and cabin layouts
with entirely new questions in mind.
How many guns will she carry on
that foredeck? What space does
she have for enlisted men and ships
stores for long cruises?
This country, perhaps, will never
experience the plight that faced the
trapped troops of the British eXpedi-
tionary force late last May. But, in
any event, pleasure-craft owners of
America have indicated they are
ready to serve in whatever role the
Nations armed forces may order.
Prime mover in this new patriotic
surge is the United States Coast
Guard, which late in February as
sIlmed a new status in military life
when Congress passed the Coast
Guard Auxiliary and Reserve Act OF
1941. In nutshell, the act provides
for a trained force of officers and
men from among boat owners who
would serve lin time of war or any
national emergency declared by the
President to exist"
Reserve Movement.
The Reserve movement goes back
more than year. In the fall of 1889
Congress authorized creation of a
Coast Guard Reserve-a non-mili-
tary organization of boatmen whose
duties were to include assistance to
the Coast Guard in many of its
peacetime duties. Patrolling regat-
tas and other marine events was its
major function.
Even at that time, before the full
impact of the struggle in Europe
had struck home here, response
to the movement surpassed all ex-
pectations of Rear Admiral Russell
r. Waesche, Coast Guard COM
mandant, and others at headquar-
ters here. With the passage of
the new act, Reserve strength was
counted at approximately 1000
