Spotting a skiff in distress was the task assigned recently to these Sea Scouts who sped across Trinity Bay in Deward C. Baird's cabin cruiser, Clayjack which happened to be available at Houston Yacht Club when an SOS came from an anxious mother. A photographer chanced to be there also. Hundreds of Houston area Sea Scouts and 100,000 other Sea Scouts throughout America have joined the navy, coast guard and marines since the United States naval expansion program began, according to a recent estimate in New York headquarters-Photograph by E. A. Bourdon
