CAA District Safety Coordinator
Sees Air Future in Eugene Area
' How vigorous is the bloom of
' western Oregon's airmindedness?
Since the end of the war the num

flying schools and small Independ

: creased many fold in this section

Furthermore, J. T. Feeney,

surface.
Except for his personal reputa
tion with fliers, Feeney might not
ba recognized through the title
listed behind his name in the pre
ceeding paragraph.
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

unparalleled op
portunity to judge the aviation in

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."

check two years ago, was arrested j
by sheriff's officers on a warrant

Home for Old Salts Produces
Surprising Literary Demands
BY HAL BOYLE
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. 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."
