Glacier Priest to Make Film Record of Coast Guard Work Making a permanent record in sound film of the work of the Bering Sea patrol of the United States Coast Guard service will be the first objective of the Rev. Bernard R. Hubbard, noted explorer, who will depart tomorrow for Alaska waters aboard the cutter Northland. Father Hubbard will spend five months aboard the Northland, visiting islands and coast settlements and taking part in its many services to the natives and communities of the territory. "The Army and the Navy are familiar institutions to the American people but not many persons are acquainted with the Navy's little sister, the Coast Guard Service," Father Hubbard said today.

It is known that seal oil contains an abundance of Vitamin D, highly valued in the treatment of tuberculosis. There is almost an unlimited source of supply of the oil and if some important medicinal use can be made of it, we can count it as a service; to humanity." After the close of navigation, Father Hubbard and his party will spend the long Arctic winter on King Island, forty-five miles off the coast of Alaska in the Bering Sea. The island is the home of nearly two hundred Eskimos, who are described by Father Hubbard as "unspoiled" by contacts with civilization. He will send metereological reports by radio to the mainland during his long exile. Accompanying Father Hubbard tomorrow will be Ed Levin, manager of Jhe expedition; Kenneth Chisholmn, assistant manager, and Bernard Stanley, radio operator.
