1917
Seventeen scores again in the world news. We now have another Admiral in the person of Howie Shaffer, and the Canadian Government has appointed Nemo Streeter to high position. Excerpt from Navy News as follows:
"Capt. Howard M. Shaffer, USN, Supply Officer in Command, Naval Supply Center, was approved, on reports from selection boards, by President Truman for promotion to the rank of Rear Admiral, the Secretary of the Navy announced December 15. Adm. Shaffer was en route to "Washington at the time of this announcement, and it is believed that he was sworn in as soon as he arrived there.
"Soon after graduation from Dartmouth, he entered the Navy as an Ensign. During the first World War, he served in Ireland and on transport service in the Atlantic. After the war, he returned to college at Harvard Business School and graduated in 1924 with his Master's degree.
"Adm. Shaffer served as supply officer aboard the USS Raleigh, USS Chester, and the USS Arizona, and in 1939 attended the Army Industrial School at Washington, D. C.
"On graduation, he was stationed at Pearl Harbor and was there when the Japanese attacked on December, 1941. He served at Pearl Harbor until 1943 when he was ordered to the Bureau of Supply and Accounts.
"In 1944, he was assigned as supply officer at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, where he was stationed until he was sent to Guam."
Nemo Streeter has been appointed a member of the new seven-man Dominion Coal Board. The establishment of the Board was authorized by legislation passed at the last session of Parliament, and the appointment was made by Prime Minister Mackenzie King. The function of the Board will be to study, review and recommend to the Government such policies and measures as the Board considers necessary respecting the production, importation, distribution and use of coal in Canada, and the development of such technical and research activities as may be considered advisable.
