Starting with : headquarters in Washington, D.C. the organization is divided into Coast .Guard districts. In turn, j the auxiliary within the districts ; . is broken down to divisions and j flotillas. . The flotilla in this area is the Chniif-O-Lakes Flotilla 22-04 with headquarters at the Mineola hotel, on the west svore of Mineola • bay. in and on Fox Lake. The | members receive no remuneration i for their services and are not I compensated for gasoline, uni- ! forms, etc. Thry sponsor many , functions, the proceeds for which | are used exclusively for needed life . saving equipment for this J area. As this is a voluntary organization, they are more readily available from 7 p.m. Friday night to 10 p.m. Sundy night. During this time each member takes his turn at standing watch at the station. However, inasmuch as many members live in this area on a - permanent basis, they are subject to call 24 hours a day. Keystone of your Coast Guard auxiliary safety program is the "courtesy inspection." While unofficial and made only upon request, this inspection gives every, owner an opportunity to have his boat and its equipment inspected by - an experienced member of the Coast Guard auxiliary. At the same time, you can discuss any questions on the Coast Guard regulations covering equipment and the "rules of the road" established to avoid collisions. If you are a new owner or a newcomer to these waters, the Coast Guard auxiliary also offers helpful hints on ways to ejijoy or inconvenience. The Courtesy Inspection A "courtesy inspection" involves no charge or obligation. You receive the original, checkedoff inspection report, no copy of which is retained by the Coast Guard or the Coast Guard auxiliary. In other words, the inspec- ,.tion and report are purely and simply for jour information and protection. When, after inspection, toe vessel is determined to be equipped in complian/e with existing regulations, /n auxiliary "decal" sticker jvfll be issued. This is to be affixed to your windshield, or otherwise prominently displayed, and advises other boat owners that you are operating a safely equipped boat. The display of this insignia will eliminate the inconvenience of routine boarding on the part of the regular COast Guard vessel -- unless there is some obVious violation, on your part. In short, the inspection and reports make your cruising days not only safer but more convenient as well. The telephone number at the headquarters is Fox Lake 7-0412. Write it down. They will be more than happy to render any assistance they may, whether it be for information or the reporting of a seHous accident. Remember support nil the Coast Guard auxiliary functions. They are working to protect your property and family.
