Mam: proposals are being put forward for disposing of the Coast Guard cutter Bear, when Ihe Retires irom nearly half a century of duty in the Arctic wastes of Alaska, but none have been approved. The coast guard has under considera tion the construction ofa modern vessel to relieve the Bear, but is loath to part; with the veteran craft that forms an integral part of its history, j . j An Alaskan Chamber of com merce has sought tc Tave the Bear utilized as a floating museum for America's northwestern terri tory. The Explorers' jclub has put n a bid for the shii)'i bell. There are officers in the icoast guard who say the vessel will ultimately be a training yesxel for the service probably at San Diego. Cal. Doing duty since the early '808, the Bear has: beten known tor the Esquimos as '.'oom'ak pukt (powerful big ship.) Recently Mrs. Aneva Mattsem, a native-born Eskimo, educated at Carlisle In dian school in Pennsylvania, wrote of the Kear to coast guard neadquarters: "The Bear has j written her beautiful heroic deeds and devoted faithful service in ojir hearts. aJid lives as the years and time have gone by. She has brought hope and light from civilization to our hearts strong and I secure. The Bear will be the Eskimos' most reverent raembry in the years -to come.'
