West River Sailors
Lease Ground, Plan
New Clubhouse
Chalk Point Structure
To Be Used Only as
Temporary Home

West River Sailing Club-oldest
yachting organization at the popu-
lar nearby Maryland anchorage
hopes to have its first clubhouse in
II years, beginning in 1941.
The first step in establishing a
permanent headquarters, which
eventually will see a modern club
house and docks for the growing
membership of sailors, 'tas' taken at
a recent meeting Of the group at
Galesville. There members voted to
take q years lease on. property near
the head Of the river and opposite
Chalk Point.
While the existing grounds in
clude small structure which will be
used As . temporary clubhouse, the
membership expects eventually to
build its own idea Of what a club
should be.
The club has been in the peculiar
position Of not owning a base all
these years. Although a great ma
jority of the members have their
own summer homes spread about
the area. it now is felt that addi-
tional Washington small-boat own
ers will welcome an opportunity to
join the club, where they at least
can be provided lockers and other
facilities.
To this end budget committee
was appointed by Commodore Car
roll Smith to study means of raising
funds. A bond issue, it is believed,
will be launched soon in this con-
nection.

Comdr. James A. Scott and Ben
Ault, down for the second time this
week, caught nine rock averaging
eight pounds, several large hard
heads and a few trout using whole
soft crab bait. They went out from
Piney Point.
Occasionally anglers in the bay
and along the Atlantic Coast will
catch sting ray, and II you hap
pen to be one of these don't think
you're the first one. History records
that the redoubtable Capt. John
Smith, away back in 1908, captured
sting ray in Chesapeake Bay by
stabbing it with his sword How
ever, the ray also used its Sword"
the sharp barbed spine attached
to its tail with which it inflicted a
wound in Capt. Smiths wrist an
inch and a half Deep
The pain and discomfort which
followed was so intense that the
sturdy captain dispaired of life and
ordered his grave prepared. How
ever, due to the remedial effects
Of precious ayle" the grave was
not used, and Capt. Smith lived to
eat his antagonist and found him
good eating.
Nowadays these rays seldom are
eaten, but are thrown back like
most trash fish. Also few anglers
get stung by the tail, knowing as
they do enough to keep away from
them.

This is Chatfelds first year Of
powerboat racing, and both his boats
are new. A.
The Viper is thoroughly stream.s

IN 1887 he raced motorcycles in
France and Italy.
