An Authority But when the phrase "C-two-A" was added to the description, many even among the non-fliers would understand his prepared ness to judge the fertility and strength of the fast growing flow er of aviation. Feeney's headquarters in Eu gene was known as the Civil Aero nautics Administration Safety Regulations district office until last month. The redesignation to make it the CAA District Office of Aviation Safety came about to clarify the public's impression of the work It does. At the same time, Feeney and the men who work with him to cover the southwest section of the state, were renamed "agents" in-i stead of "inspectors. Cooperation Fred Lee, acting CAA adminis trator, said in announcing the change: Although it is the agent's as signment to see that civil air reg larions are respected and obeyed, 90 per cent of his work is in coop erative assistance to those who use aviation for pleasure or to whom it is a livelihood." The district office that Feeney supervises was moved here from Redmond as post-war experience indicated that Eugene would be closer to the center of the upstate aviation boom. ' By the chief agent's own state ment, the work of this office in cludes the flight testing and certi fication of pilots, planes, flying schools and non-scheduled air craft operators. Gives Exams Written and practical examina tions are given for all types of certificates such as those for dis patchers, control tower operators, navigators, engineers and ground instructors. Accidents are investigated, vio lations of flying rules checked and airports advised in setting up traf fic rules. "Moreover," Feeney explained, "we spend a good deal of our time answering requests for ad vice or assistance on ....

As for the outlook In this vicin ity, Feeney has stated: "I believe It safe to predict that in the next few years we will find aeronautical subjects being taught in all grade and high schools that someone in every family will know how to fly an airplane; that aeronautical activity will be a very important factor in the eco nomics of the community; that there will be several more airports or airparks around Eugene, and that a community will grow at Mahlon Sweet field where cargo planes are moving commodities in to and out of this area will be as commonplace as trucks." Police Hold Man j On Check Charge Neil Victor Combs, 26, who gave his address as the Smeed Hotel, was in Jail Tuesday accused of ob taining property under false pre tenses. 1 Combs, who was paroled for j three years for writing an illegal i check two years ago, was arrested j by sheriff's officers on a warrant accusing him of paying for a car with a worthless check.

W The ships stand out to sea, and the old men sit on benches on a broad green lawn and watch them Elderly men like these, done with the sea, have been doing this for 115 years on a tree- shaded 100-acre estate bordering New York harbor. They are old salts washed up on this grassy beach after a life time on the deep. Their last an chorage is called "the Sailor Snug Harbor." And it is a snug harbor indeed. Because of it retired Mariners here are like millionaires in one respect they have no housing shortage. There actually is a shortage cf old sailors willing to spend their last years together on the cuff. In 1815, our peark year, we had 925 men here," said the home's governor, Capt. Henry R. Patterson, n retired Naval officer. "Now we have less than 400." The "sailors' snug harbor" is a multi - million - dollar investment affords its occupants a ple'asanter life than many enjoyed in their years at sea. The home has fifty buildings, including eight main dormitories and mess halls, its own hospital and medical staff and a dairy with sixty milk cows. It also has its own cemetery. Of the 9000 seafarers who have technical retired here, few have left. More questions or helping some com-1 than 5000 are buried on the munity or individual develop some grounds. The men get free food, quarters clothing and a pound of tobacco either chawing or smoking a , month. Those who want to can , also earn $5 to $15 a month spending money doing odd jobs .;; around the home. , k Unusual Charity 4 It is one of the world's most & unusual charities. It was created ?! by Captain Robert Richard Ran- ' dall, a privateer, who died m 1801 and left $7500 and a 20-acre farm in Manhattan to found a : home for "aged, decrepit and ; wornout sailors." .s The will was drawn by a fam- 4 ous landlubber Alexander Ham- a ilton and he drew it so expertly j that relatives tried for 30 years in $ vain to break it. The home wa opened in 1833. Their favorite recreations are . shooting pool, playing checkers. :i swapping lies, or just sitting on m the benches watching the ship -plow seaward, s There is a library of 6000 vol umes, but 70-year-old Capt. FiedL Healy, the librarian, said only a few sailors asked for "good books." k "They don't read sea stones much either," he said, shaking his head. All they want is west erns cowhoy stories."
