chairman of Juneau's civil defense
committee, said.
The announcement was made
after the first meeting of the COM

ing the past war.

situations for the protection of life
and property in the event of raid
Robertson stated.
Fortunately, many loyal citizens
who served as leaders and members
of various patrols and defense
groups during the last war will be
in position to act in those capac-
tiles again." Robertson declared.
''The council will call on them tc
join the defense organization again
in the near future" he continued.
He said all members of the de-
Tense organization will be required
to swear an oath of allegiance to
the United States and to wear
identifying insignia. Every member
will carry card of identification,
he said.
Mayor Waino Hendrickson, who
attended the first meeting of the
civil defense organization, said he
believed the City Council would
enact civil defense ordinances at its
next meeting.

ROTARY HEARS
THOMAS; HISTORY
US. COAST GUARD

Members of Juneau Rotary Club
were in for a real treat this noon
at their regular meeting in the
Gold Room at Baranof Hotel.
Lowell Thomas, world famous ra-
dio commentator and reporter was
guest, introduced by President
Ellis Reynolds.
Thomas literally rolled 'em in the
aisleS," with running commentary
of cracks" at various members,
revealing why he is one of the top
men in his business. He called men,
bers by name and related anec-
dotes and personalities about them
which showed with what thorough
ness he must have checked on them
before the luncheon and, more re-
markedly, remembered names and
stories.
AS a more serious vein, Thomas
related that this was not his first
trip to Alaska. He was here SO years
ago with a motion picture machine
and travelled the Territory with
General Richardson, 1.-THE road
man." He mentioned also, that to-
days Rotary invitation marked his
first time as guest in Alaska.
adding incidentally, his regret that
he had just before bought and paid
for his own lunch.
AS the report was not yet COM
plete, matters pertaining to the
Soap Box Derby were postponed
until later meeting.
Commander C. Meg. Morrison, of
the local Coast Guard unit, gave an
interesting history of the Coast
Guard which will celebrate its 160th
birthday August 4. He pointed out it
was authorized under the nations
first congress in New York in 1879,
under George Washington, and
came into service on Aug. 4, 1890,
known as the Revenue Marine Serv-
ice, then the Revenu Cutter Service
and later, under Alexander Hamil-
ton, the us. Coast Guard.
He related its splendid record of
war at sea against pirates and snug
glers, and its as great record of sea
rescues. He enumerated it's many
and varied duties as connected with
every branch of government.
Concluding, he said, True to its
motto. "Semper Paratus," always
ready, the Coast Guard stands to-
day in operational readiness to per-
form its present missions and to
Immediately become part of the
US. Navy should the President so
direct"

It was no more than few inches long,

The black and white cat has a mind
and temper all its own.
The straight tiger cat is probably the
most intelligent of all the common short
haired cats, but the black and white one
by its individuality holds first place with
many human friends.
Even the irritability Of this strange
type endears 1t. strange as that may
seem to those who do not care for the
cat In any form.
Black and white cats have been known
to bite their owners without reason
and without reproof. It is realized that
they are, indeed, a strange lot.
One prominent Washingtonian had
such cat for many years. It was ia
nous in its own right, and had its por-
trait done in oil by one of the greatest
living American artists. It was no
stranger to the White House. and had
many distinguished acquaintances in
many branches of public life.
A strange creature, indeed, the cat,
whatever Its color. At various times in
human history the cat has been re-
garded as the symbol Of both life and
death, or day and night, sun and moon,
and Of Deity and devil. Such an animal
deserves our interest.

Cats which are black and white in

Perhaps the strangest Of these is the

The rest of the creature is white.
In Chevy Chase home there is to-
day q very dark gray and white cat
which closely resembles the sacred "ki-

He has saddle on his back, and

He seems more to resemble Sia-

Omar N. Bradley and his successors as

Oddly enough, George Washington,
who is thought to have held the all-time
high in military ranks. is not one Of the
nine. Though he was commander in
chief of the Continental Army, he never
actually held commandments as q
civilian President under the Constitu-
tion. Top rank was authorized for him.
but he never assumed it.
The eight who preceded Gen. Bradley,
and who actually held the highest Army
grade. were Grant. Sherman, Sheridan,

hover and Arnold. in that chronological

For many years after the Army came
into being, there was no grade authorized
above major general Broadly speaking.
this is still the case as respects the
Regular Army; with two exceptions
(Gens. Bradley ana MacArthur) there
are no officers serving actively in the
Army today who hold permanent COM
missions above that of major general.
About two dozen wear three or four

Gen. Bradley Is already a permanent

When Grant became President in 1869,
Sherman succeeded him as general
and Phil Sheridan became lieutenant
