Latest and most modern addition to New York's large fishing
n^\ h &S. W* Moon," propelled by General Motors Diesel
engines. This boat will Ash trom New York to the Grand Banks.
She is the first of a Urge fleet of this type of trawler.
NEW YORK— (Special)— The
"Bright Moon," hailed as the very
latest in North Atlantic Diesel-
powered scallop draggers, was
delivered to her owner, Captain
John Melhus, of Brooklyn, this
week and immediately attracted
major attention along New York
fishing wharves.
This sturdy new fishing boat,
said to be the most modern on
the North Atlantic fishing grounds
i from New York to Block Island,
New B e d fo r d , N a n t u c k e t ,
Gloucester and the Grand Banks,
is the first of a large fleet o£ such
boats to be built.
Designed by Tarns, Inc., and
built by Diesel Engine Sales Com-
pany ot St. Augustine, Florida,
the "Bright Moon" is powered by
a General Motors 6-71 Diesel en-
gine and has a gross tonnage of
57.4. A two kw generator set sup-
plies auxiliary power for winches
and lights.
Planking for the vessel is two
inch cypress which does not re-
quire caulking. The keel is 9 x 12
inches, and the frames 2x4 Inches
spaced 8 inches apart. The beams
and decking are of 4 x 4 inch and
2 x 4 inch pine, making the
"Bright Moon"one of the staunch-
est nshing craft ever to put into
New York harbor.
Sleeping berths are supplied
for eight crew members below
deck, and for two officers in the
pilot house. The vessel contains
two fuel oil tanks of 760 gals,
each. With these accommodations
the "Bright Moon" can remain on
the fishing grounds for from two
to three weeks. Fishing equip-
ment was installed by Hathaway
ot New Bedford.

Cmtinmtd fnm Ptgt I
The .American people from one
end ot the land to the other, are
meeting in places like this to honor
the memory ot that vast host who
struggled and died that this nation j
of free people might live . This is as ]
It should be, but such exercises ns
these would bo but Idle gestures to
satisfy our own vanity if wo did
not recognize our awful responsi-
bility to protect, that which our
honored dead and their still living
comrades saved from utter destruc-
tion twice in thirty years.
Only by eternal vigilance and
mighty strength of anna can we
hope lo save for onrsolves and pre-
serve for posterity our freedom
without which life Is of no value
whatsoever.
A vast nation lo tho east IUIB de-
stroyed every conception of decent
civilization it ever had.
That nation is indeed a men-
Btrous beast, a bear who walks like
a man, a foul beust who has awak-
ened from centuries of torpid hiber-
nation, savage, ignorant , repulsive ,
and extremely dangerous. He bides
hie time, instinct tellB htm that he
IB not yet strong enough to conquer
the world but he has caused his
agents and disciples to permeate
society in all nations and like tor-
mites boring from within the frame
work and like rats undermining the
foundations of free governments.
All this IB well known and IB be-
coming clearer to us day by day.
What shnll wo do? What can we
do? The answer Is , we can and
should speedily determine to dis-
cover and destroy all tho rats and
termites in our own houso. We
should Include them In the defini-
tion of tho word "traitor. "
Wo must make sure that our
arms are maintained in suffirlonl
strength to command the fear of
I ho beast behind tho Iron curtain.
Wo must wait in the hope that
thin Btnlator nation will eventually
destroy it« own government like
that of the grenl Khun In thai sumo
dark (and centuries ago.
If It should become apparent
that the strain of merely holding
Hie beast at bay 1H too grout for
reasonable human endurance, nnd ;
that there is no longer hope of re-
lief then we must strike quickly
and st rike hard not to conquer, not
to Htibduo , but to exterminate,
Harsh words? Yen, but there may
be no alternative.
Let us (irmly resolve Unit we
Bhall not fall nor fuller , that our
honored dead will not liuvo died In
vain, that tho living who fought so
nobly for us Bhall not lie mockod,
nnd that posterity shall not be be-
trayed.
' Col. Tow opened his addrosB as
follows:
Today Is Memorial Day. It Is be-
ing observed In recognition of tho
services our honored dead have
performed for us. Loved onoH have
placed flags and flowers on tbe
final resting places of those who
have served , und are no longer
with us. On military reservations
and on naval vessels, flags are
flown at halt staff , appropriate mu-
sic is playod at high noon, and the
national Hulute ot 21 guns Is fired.
I shall never forgot once some
years ago when I WUK in Victoria,
Hongkong Colony, In the far Pa-
cific. At Ibe moment I was in a
rickshaw some three or tour blocks
buck from the waterfront when
suddenly I heard a gun ilro und a
second ami u third and more. 1 real-
ized that u subtle of HOMO sort WUB
being fired out In tho harbor ,
though I could not una the buy bo-
cause of buildings which obscured
my view. I then bud my rickshaw
coolie lako me to tho waterfront
that 1 might learn what tho occa-
sion of the saluto WUH . My thought
was thai. Home high ranking official
of tho British Government had just
arrived and thut a salute WUH being
fired in bis honor. You cun, perhaps,
imagine my emotion when 1 din
covered to my great delight that
tho saline WUH being llrud by u
United Slates cruisor, anchored in
the harbor. On the dock of that
graceful ship, a Hymbol of the
strength and position of my coun-
try, I could see the ship's comple-
ment, » company of sailors and ma-
rines standing at parude rest, while
I ho national salute WIIH being fired.
Old Glory WUH Hying at. the must,
i< WUH Memorial Day. Because of
I lie dlvoi'H loiiH and many lluiim of
interest , incident to my travel In
that foreign land, I had completely
lost track ot the dayB, But t can
tell you that the sight of Old Olory
on one of our cruisers in that for-
eign port, on that day, with a com-
pany of our fine sailors and marines
standing in respect on deck, was a
sight I shall never forget. It was
the fairest sight I had Been in all
of China, and I am not ashamed to
say that 1 was quite unable to speak
from emotion. I remember thut I
wondered al the time if my humble
rickshaw coolie could possibly nnr
predate what that sight meant to
his passenger,
On that Memorial Day ami on
Ibis day, around the world , wher-
ever Americans are, tribute la be-
ing paid to those who hav e laid
down their lives that this nation
might ondui-o. Wo ure not unmind-
ful nor ungrateful Of their contri-
bution , and because of our grati-
tude , we are assembled at this sa-
cred spot toduy. But we would pay
tribute at this time not only to our
deceased service personnel but to
nil of our departed loved ones; cit-
izens , great and bumble, men and
women, fathers and mothers, broth-
ers una sisters ana others who hnvo
helped bring our country through
tho years to the grandeur and sta-
ture that It occupies today. Indeed ,
one need not be In uniform to Bervo
hiB country. The uniform in itself
does not signif y loyalty nnd devo-
tion and sacrifice. Neither are these
basic qualities found In sorvlce
men and women alone. These are
attributes of loyal citizens no mat-
ter who they are. And all such loyal
citizens , no longor with ua, who
helped build mid preserve this na-
tion we honor in our ceremonieB
this hour.
Col. Tow said also in tho course
of his speech :
Wo do not look for another war.
Wo hope, with nil (ho faith we
have , that such a thing might, bo
avoided , but wo have learned from
two coBtly experiences Hint weak-
ness on our purl makes no contri-
bution toward the avoidance of
war.
America IUIIH I be Strong, for ill
her strength lies the greatest hope
tor the maintenance of world pence
nnd Hlnlilllly . . .
. , . wo would do well IIH a coun-
try to establish Universal Military
Training, UMT , lo afford , at loaat .
Home measure of Instruction and
experience to the young aitlzens of
our country which would hotter
qualify (ln-iii lo assume their re-
sponHlhllltleH an armed defenders,
should their services lie required.
For certainly, should another con-
flict come, wo as a people would
not have from one to two yours
iiinu in wiiu'ii ui i;m n-Hiijr , mica UH
wo hud In World Wars •!• and II.
War, if It comes again , will come
With unbelievable suddenness and
there will ho little time then to
provide the training which every
young man should have and IIUH a
right to have before he Is commit-
ted to battle , . ,
In concluding his address , Col.
Tow Hlatod , In quotation from Lt.
j General Wodomeyor:
We in tbe Army liellevo Individ-
ually and collectively thut we ure
the Instrument of the American
people. In exercising our respon-
sibilities at home and In far-flung
places all over the world , wo are
happy in tho knowledge that our In-
fluence for freedom and police mere-
ly reflects your desiroH—tho de-
sires of nil the men und women of
tho United states. Every man in
fho Army Is ut his post, proud In
Hie opportunity to uphold tho basla
tenets and principles of American
