The United States Government
Is cracking down hard on yiolators
of laws forbidding the out-of-
season shooting and marketing Of
wild ducks. The heaviest punish
ment on. record was meted out
recently in California when Q
Federal court fined O violator
$4,000 and sentenced him to two
and one-half years in jail. This
man was arrested after trying to
sell S29 wild ducks to United States
game management agents posing
as wholesale buyers. He pleaded
guilty to killing n ducks on
February II. 376 the following
day. 676 the next day and then
selling and transporting 829 on
February II. One of his con-
federates was fined $1,000 and
placed on five years probation. A
third has not yet been tried.
A restaurateur who purchased
some of the ducks from this ring
was fined $385. and another man
who offered to buy 210 wild ducks
was fined $3.50. It is dificult TO
believe such things can happen in
this country. yet they do. And
these are only q few instances
among literally thousands. We
certainly hope this Congress grants

Canvas canoe racing returns to
Potomac River Sunday for the
first time In more than 20 years.
Paddlers from three Washington
clubs and the Zeider Boat Club Of
Harrisburg. Pa, compete here that
afternoon as an added attraction
to the Washington Marine Trade
Associations second Sunday series
of inboard and cupboard events for
amateur speedboat drivers.
The three local clubs sending
their best talent out for the canoe
events are Potomac Boat Club,
Washington Canoe Club and
Dempsey's Boat Club. In addition,
plans are under way for under
grads Of Maryland and George
Washington to compete In novice
canoe races.
Both power and canoe events
viii be held simultaneously over
courses on West Potomac Park,
between the Highway and Memo
rial Bridges. The days events
begin at ! pm.
Faced with O dwindling supply
Of cedar racing hulls from Canada,
United States paddlers are return
ing TO the days Of canvas canoes,
of which this country has good
supply. Canoeing experts say
there hasn't been any racing Of
this type to speak Of since the
1920s.
For paddlers accustomed to the
light cedar hulls that take off with
little effort, racing in the canvas
jobs will be rather like returning
to the Model T auto days. One
authority put 1t this way: "The
boys are going to have to dig now"

seven canoe events, including sin
gle and double blades races for
one, two and four man canoes
and possible canoe fitting. With
