March, 1917 THE MARINE REVIEW 89 voted an immense amount of time and energy to evolving and putting into effect the comprehensive plans for promoting the welfare of the sailors on the Great Lakes, which have been so successfully carried out by the Lake Carriers’ Association in recent years. Mr. Collins stated that he regarded the savings plan which the late chairman had initiated as a most fitting monument to Mr. Sheadle and as a most. suitable memorial to the tireless devotion with which he had planned and executed the work of bettering the condition of the sailors.

Last..year 35. grad- uates of the schools at Cleveland and Marine City secured licenses.
