Gordon Hodgkinson, of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary. Capt. Hodgkinson told the group that safety in the home is similar to safety on the water. Fire extinguishers that are illigal on the water are declared so by the Coast Gurad which handles all safety inspections on all boats, both large and small. Therefore the pyrene fire extinguisher , which was at one time in demand, has been declared unsafe because of the poisonous gasses that develop when exposed to air, let alone a fire.

The mustard family is another large one and easily recognized by its pungent watery juicé. The black mustard, which is yellow, is already a glorious sight in the orchards at a slightly lower altitude. There are less conspicuous members of the family, one the milk maid, probably already blooming. Another is the wild radish, a handsome weed which will soon be conspicuous. The primrose family has a smaller representation in this locale. The shooting star is of this tribe and is not only common here but in the Rockies and in Northeast Asia.

The Coast Guard Auxiliary is the civilian group of the regular coast guard, but only volunteers man the group. The men are not paid, and each pays for his own uniform. Regular examinations are given to secure promotions. The auxiliary patrols all inland waters using privately owned craft.

WILDLIFE IN S, F. PARK Most of the wild animals which make their home in San Francisco’s famous Golden Gate Park find quarters most to their lik‘ing in Strybing Arboretum. Because most of them are nocturnal they are seldom seen by visitors but their tracks are frequently observed in-soft, damp soil. The treé squirrels are an exception to. the nocturnal rule. The-park has two species, both introduced from the eastern part of the United States. CommoneSt is the Eastern gray squirrel, grayish in color which takes on tawny tones in the summer. Less frequently seen is the Eastern fox squirrel. Throughout the park the small brush rabbit can be seen feeding in early morning and evening. The raccoon, the Virginia opossom, the striped skunk, the red bat and the longtail weasel also live in the park. And, of course, the moles and pocket gophers make their presence known by the mounds of earth they . push out of their subterranean tunnels.
