SPORTING PILOTS OPEN OFFICE HERE Official of Association Di- rects Plans for Air Cruise. National headquarters for the Sportsman Pilots’ Association, com- posed of amateur and sportsman pilots in all parts of the United States, have been opened at 2035 Seventeenth street under direction of Chester H. ‘Warrington, vice president. The asso- ciation plans to establish permanent offices here. From the newly established tempo- rary headquarters, Warrington is di- recting plans for the first annual Summer cruise of the association, to be flown July 23 from Cincinnati to Detroit as a feature of the all-Ameri- can aircraft show. The association is headed by Col. Clarence M. Young, former Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Aero- nautics, now in charge of the develop- ment of trans-Pacific air transport service for Pan-American Airways. He is in San Francisco. Benjamin King, local sportsman | pilot, who recently established three | world records for light airplanes, put- ting the United States into world | leadership in the number of recog- nized records held, is national treas- urer of the association and also is | state governor for the District of Columbia. Dr. John D. Brock, Kansas City, Mo., amateur fiyer who Tecently was accorded national honors here when he completed his two-thousandth con- secutive daily flight, is second vice president and Walter C. Davis of Richmond, Ind, is secretary of the essociation. The association is organized to pro- mote the use of airplanes by private citizens and to foster flying for sport and recreation. It also is working for the development of aviation generally and for the construction, mainte- nance and improvement of airports and landing fields, airways and air navigation facilities. To stimulate private flying the association is ar- ranging for competitive events similar to the cruise from Cincinnati to De- | troit. Warrington and King will lead a group of local pilots who will partici- pate in the coming cruise. Meetings of the board of governors and board | of directors are to be held at Detroit July 24.

The playful pup might have gotten away with the first nip, but when the second came, so did the tears. —Star Staff Photo. Chisler Birds Dine With 260 Official Sanctuary Guests Uncle Sam’s bird sanctuary at Roaches Run on the Mount Vernon | Memorial Highway has approximately 200 official residents. This figure, of course, does not include the many sparrows and starlings who chisel in on the cracked corn and other foods disbursed at the wild-bird haven. According to a census just com- pleted and made public yesterday by Frank T. Gartside, acting superin- tendent of the National Capital parks, official residents include: 115 mallards, 36 adults and 79 young; 20 adult black ducks and several pairs nesting; 6 adult wood ducks and 1 pair nesting; 49 pintails, 39 of which are adults and 10 young, and 3 blue Canada geese. Other pertinent facts revealed by Gartside are: The feed bin attracts a large num- ber of bob-whites, doves, cardinals, several species of sparrow, grackles and red-winged blackbirds. Some of the mallards that left in April after their nests were washed out are expected to return soon. Rumor has it they are living down the Potomac River. Gradually the amount of foods put out—about 50 pounds a day—is being reduced so the birds will learn to forage for themselves during the warmer weather. The Civilian Con- servation Corps has planted wild celery, duck potatoes and other natural foods.
