V. Hoben A. F. Davis— or R. S. Patton states that the high concept of fidelity and in tegrity adopted as the initial stand ard for it work has since been scrupulously adhered to through all vicissitudes. It embodies a vis ion of useful service which remains responsive to the changing needs of the navigator and the engineer. The report likens the Coast and Geodetic Survey to a comprehen-: sive manufacturing establishment. Its surveying parties go out into the field and gather the raw ma terials. Those raw materials are shipped to Washington, D. C., where the central plant is located. In this plant the materials are | worked over and from them are i derived certain fnial products in forms suitable for public use. These products invariably take the form | of publications, and the final and j culminating step in the process is the quantity production. All nau tical charts and airway maps are produced in its own printing plant. Coast Pilots and other information relating to nautical charts, tidal and current surveys and data, geo detic control surveys in the inter ior, investigations relating to ter restrial magnetism and seimology, and other data which this public service bureau prepares, are all printed at the Government Printing Office. i It is stated that hydrographic i surveys in Alaska are progressing | at a moderate but satisfactory rate ! with the three vessels working in ! that area. The party of the ship Surveyor continued surveys along the coast of Kodiak Island. Work was ex tended during the 1930 season from Cape Ikolik southward through Sit ! kinak Strait and included a sur vey of Olga Bay. Combined with the previous season’s work, this completed the survey of Alitak Bay and tributaries. During the pres ent season, surveys are being ex tended eastward along the south coast of the island toward Sitka lidak Strait. These will include the western approaches of that strait as well as the eastern approaches to Sitkinak Strait. The results of last season’s work will be shown on chart No. 8537, now under con struction. The Discoverer party continued surveys along the south coast of Kenai Peninsula, westward from Aialik Bay. These were extended i offshore to the 100-fathom curve 1 and as far west as Port Dick. They | included a detailed survey of that | bay, as well as of Nuka Island Pass, i The results of the work are now | being applied to chart No. 8530, | which area has now been entirely • surveyed. During the present sea i son, this party is employed in ex I. tending the surveys southwestward . across the passages between the i Kenai Peninsula and Afognak Ls J land.

Not very likely! But if not, won’t you—like the butterfly that j played all summer without a thought of the cold j days to come—won’t you be in danger of facing |j famine, months before spring comes around again? ; Certainly not! When wintry winds are blowing their coldest, | and the storm is wailing like forgotten banshees on | the roof-top, the chances are you may be eating juicy ■ strawberries from Costa Rica and fresh asparagus ■ from Florida. For the day of storing up supplies | against the barrenness of winter has gone forever. 1 It has passed when America ceased to be a lot o£ J scattered communities, and became a nation united \ by swift line of transportation. As you read the advertisements telling you just ! what the stores contain for you, fresh to your order, j remember that here are the inexhautible store ■ rooms of today . . . storerooms that have banished j forever the anxieties that went with the snows of j yesteryear. il * 1
