In Australia

SYDNEY, Australia. -(AP)-
In parts of the Australian bush
letters are carried by strange
"mailmen"-often by tradesmen
and even by passing strangers.
Almost every traveller in the out
back has had the experience of
being asked to deliver a letter.
Sometimes letters are left on a
cleft stick or under a stone with
a marker" and the next man
takes it along. In the bush let
ter is sacred trust born out of
the comradeship of pioneer days.
In the artesian water belt of
southwest Queensland people of
ten talk of news travelling by
bore drain. CABLE The phrase
has the same meaning as bush
telegraph"-a piece of news that
has arrived swiftly and mys-
teriously but is often true. In
some districts the term has mean
ing-which may point to the
origin of the first. A message in
a jam tin will float miles along
a well-kept ditch carrying water
from bore until stopped by a
piece of wire or netting set there
for that purpose.
On one occasion police
trooper stayed overnight with a
man suspected of being a cattle
thief. The policeman talked most
of the night so that the suspect
had no chance of slipping off to
warn accomplices. But while he
talked a letter had been floating
down the bore drain to tell of his
arrival and evidence was de-
stroyed.

magnetic markers which show at
a glance the approximate location
of every ship moving IN the At
lantic or on the Gulf of Mexico.
Also on this map are the air line
routes operated on regular sched-
ules. If the Coast Guard receives
an SOS or other distress appeal,
the Communications Officer can
glance at the continuously chang
ing map and tell within matter
of seconds what ships and what
planes are in the vicinity of the
vessel in distress. At the same
time that he appeals to nearby
ships, other branches of the Coast
Guard rush cutters and planes out
from the nearest ports. The
Coast Guard works on the theory
that it is safer to utilize all meth
DDS of rescue simultaneously ra-
Their than to attempt one at a
time.
That was the way it worked in
the Gander disaster when Coast
Guard ships, foot guides, helicop-
tiers and amphibian planes all
were ordered to the rescue at the
same time. The helicopters were
the ones that accomplished the
feat, but the other means assisted
materially.
In receiving messages of dis
tress, Coast Guard communica-
tons frequently run into trouble
because most SOS signals are sent
through storms which strongly
interfere with radio reception.

OH Inc seq OIlO III the OI.
Blanketing the Atlantic and
Gulf of Mexico coasts and reach
ing far out into the Atlantic, the
US. Coast Guard maintains and
operates a network of radio sta
tons, scouting planes and rescue
ships that save hundreds of lives
and thousands of dollars worth of
property every month from the
perils of sea and storm.
l.l78 Saved In Month
A single months report of the
us. Coast Guard Eastern Area,
which follows the coast from
Greenland to the Rio Grande,
gives a graphic picture of the ex-
tent of the Coast Guards opera
tions, the amount of lives and
property they save.
A typical month is July, 1916,
a month in which the Coast Guard
rescued 1,178 people, recovered
ii bodies, and rendered assist
ance to 538 ships and 100 aircraft.
I'VE were formerly known as
the Air Sea Rescue division"
says Rear Adm. Ed H. "Icebeng
Smith, commanding officer of the
Eastern Area Coast Guard. But
we changed the name to Search
and Rescue because the phrase

late properly into the languages
of other nationalities with whom

along the Atlantic Coast may re-
ceive a different part OF a garbled
SOS. These separate bits are
quickly placed on the Coast Guard
teletype network and when they
are all patched together enough
of the complete message is re-
trieved to give almost all infor-
nation needed.
Marks the Spot
Another system is the almost
fool proof plan of direction find
ers where separate stations pick
up garbled radio beams from a
ship in distress. BY crossing the
beams on the radio map, they can
discover the approximate loca-
ton.
While the Coast Guard encour-
ages the public to call on them
for help, some of these calls can
be needless and at times have dis
tressing aftermaths. For instance,
the Coast Guard is frequently
asked to search for overdue fish
ing vessels and the search quite
often ends in finding that the
fishing party has merely pulled
up into some quiet cove for a
prolonged session of poker. Com
mander Munroe points to the case
of a search and rescue flight from
the San Francisco Coast Guard
station last August Z when six
Coast Guardsmen were killed in
a plane crash. Later it was dis
covered that the fishing vessel
for which they were searching
had been safely anchored in the
harbor at the time of the alert.

Most folks have formed the
habit of taking their newspapers
for granted. For as long as they
can remember they have depend
ed upon their newspapers to
provide them with detailed in
formation on every subject in
which they are interested. From
the metropolitan dailies they
have kept abreast of world ev-
ents, state and local happenings.
In the smaller communities the
local weekly, closer and more in
innate, reflected every activity
of the community.
It is difficult to imagine a
country, state or even a commun-
ity without a newspaper. The
few times that newspapers have
been suspended publication due
to strikes or disasters their. loss,
even for short period of time,
has been keenly felt.
When strike forced the Ro-
chester, N. Y, papers to suspend,
citizens of that community paid
as high as dollar a copy for out
of town papers. Housewives were
lost without grocery advertising
when they made up their shop
ping lists. Merchants, some who
thought advertising didn't pay,
found how wrong they were
when they paced empty shops
and stores. Such questions as
who won the ball game?"--
where was the fire?"- What
time does the show start?"-and
thousands of others went unan-
swered for the great mass of the
people. Telephone lines were
gummed. Radio only hit the high
spots.
For many months the newspa-
per publishers of Florida have
been hard pressed to secure
enough paper on which to print
their editions. Most of the supply
comes from Canada or the Scan
dinavian countries. Practically all
of the big city papers have been
limiting the size of their papers
and have turned down millions
of dollars worth of paid advertis-
ing for lack of paper on which
to print it. Some have even gone
so far as to refuse subscriptions,
requiring prospective subscribers
to wait their turn to get on the
list.
The OPA controls neWsprint
paper and established a ceiling
considerably below the world
market, which was intended to
help the publisher and keep
prices down. The Canadian mills
found that they could sell all the
neWSprint they produced in other
countries at a good profit where

as, if they shipped it TO the Unit
ed States the OPA ceiling threw
them for a loss.
| Consequently they notified the
paper supply houses that on the
! expiration of present contracts
they would not consider a re-
newal at present prices. A few
weeks ago paper supply houses
| notified over 100 Florida publish
ers, primarily in the weekly fieli
that after December 81, of this
