Salute to the Coast Guard
VKII . .. ' '
,i.t Tomorrow mark toe 1.58th year in lae life? of the united
'""States Coast Guard, a government unit which continually, in war
it .
: or peace, gathers unto itself glory and honor by its day to day
( Work on the waters of our nation.
Those of us alone the Coast
of these husky, fearless, and jovial wen of the sea cannot help
but feel a deep pride in their accomplishments.
The list of deeds this unit has to Its credit within the past
year, inland and on the coast, is staggering the cutter BIBB
rescued 69 persons from the Bermuda hy cueen in a thrilling
episode in the North Atlantic, other Coast. Guard units rescued
more than 5,000 people from danger and saved or protected in
these operations vessels and other property valued at $160,000,
000, aided flood victims in the Mlddlewest and the Pacific North
west, helped evacuate people surrounded by forest fires in Maine,
patrolled the Great Lakes and opened icebound traffic lanes, con
tinued routine operation of 36,000 aids to navigation, enforced
law on the high seas and navigable waters of the United States
and was ever ready for emergencies with its 300 vessels and 20,
000 men.
Coast Guardsmen at our own Fort Macon station performed
one of the most heroic feats in the history of the Carolina coast
when they rescued 22 mep from the motor vessel Norfolk. The
""Norfolk went aground within sight of the station March 7 of this
year. In spite of high seas and lashing winter winds, the res
cuers and rescued came through without losing a man.
For this display of heroism and fortitude New Bern Rotary
club sponsored a splendid banquet and presented the men of the
station with a large marble plaque commemorating the rescue.
Coast Guardsmen in this locality will participate tomorrow
in celebration of their 158th birthday at Cape Ilatteras. Crews
from Chincoteague, Virginia Beach, Hatteras and Fort Macon sta
tion will race in surfboats, (the men from Fort Macon are going
to bring home the bacon), there will be various types of Coast
Guard demonstrations, a great big picnic, and all in all, one
bang-up day of fun for everyone.
On this anniversary the Coast Guard has received special
commendation from high government officials and the comman
dant of the United State Coast Guard, Admiral Joseph F. Far
ley, who remarked, "I am proud of the work of the officers and
men of tho United States Coast Guard, for the successful ac
complishment of their many difficult tasks often under the
most trying circumstances during the past year. And I have
preat pride Lt the work of the men of the Coast Guard auxiliary
who aided our forces in flood and hurricane relief work. To each
I say a hearty "well done."
Thoughts far an open mind. . .
XEvery thing is already given ut, but .wjJlAf ) develop capacity

'
yfUmember that no man can help us except toe be a torch bearer;
and all that he may teach within the flash of his coming and
going, is how we top may take hold and carry our torch high
er on the never ending road.
Live for something. Do good and leave behind you a monument
that time can never destroy. Write your name in kindness,
love, and mercy on the hearts of all you come in contact with
day by day. Good deeds shine at the stars in Jieaven.
The wise man is happy when he gains his own approbation, and
the fool when he recommends himself to the applause of
those about him. Know thyself and flattery shall not harm
thee; yea her speech shall be a warning, a humbling, and a
guide. What the superior man seeks Is in himself; what the
small man seeks is in others.

wiring is being installed. Poles
100 feet in height are being erect
ed on each side of Gallant's chan

carry the necessary wires over this

This overhead power line is ex

It was a most interesting trip we
made through the plant of the Ma
dix Asphalt Roofing Corporation
a few days ago. W. C. Carlton was
our conductor and while he could
not answer all the questions we
asked him, yet he gave us a very
good insight into the making of
Madix products.
Th first reo.uisite for making
asphalt roofing is the felt base. In

the immense storeroom are hun
dreds of rblls of this material i
several weights. These rolls are
all of standard width, weighing
nearly a nau ton eacu.
Strolling back lio the coating
department we felt as if we were
in the anteroom of the Infernal
regions. It was the next thing to
a Turkish bath. The machinery in
this department is a series of rol
lers .and conveyors mounted on a
tall framework which takes the
felt base at the far end of the
building, carries it through the
vats of boiling coating solutions,
after which it hangs in lone loops
to dry.
By the time' the coated base
reaches the end of the delivery
racks it is dry and is threaded into
a winding machine which rails it
into the required footage, is the"
wrapped, weiehed and labeled,
ready for shipment.
In the storeroom are several bins
containing a hard eranular matet I
a) in colors of green, red, black
and prey. This material is used to
coat the prepared base as it comes
out of the coatin? vats, giving, the
various colors one aee in the roll
roofing or the cut asphalt shingles.
When the plant is in the process
of converting the prepared base in
to shin?les. the coated material as
it comes from the delivery racks
is threaded into an immense cut
ting machine, which in one opera
tion forms the entire shape of the
shingle.
From this machine the finished
product is conveyed to the packers
and bailers, ready for storage or
immediate shipment. There ap
pears to be no lost motion in the
process oi the finished product
from the time the felt base leaves
the storage until it comes out
again, either p.s roll roofing or in
the form of separate shingles.
Unloading of incomin? freight
and the shipping out of the finish
ed products is cared for op toe
east side of the plant where a spur
(rack gives this service. Truck
loading facilities for the fleet of
trucks operated by this concern,
are on the west side of the ware
house. Small motor trucks in the
storeroom convey the goods for ;
shipment to either the freight cars
or the immense trucks.
At present the felt base is being
purchased from an outside plant.
After opening of the felt mill here,
about the first of the year, the
